Nexus III is a naturally habitable terrestrial planet in the Nexus system, United Empire of Earth (UEE).
Once the central hub of the Hathor Group, former owners of exclusive mining rights to Nexus, the planet was inhabited by squatters and outlaws when the company abandoned the system in 2672. It remained a stronghold for smugglers, pirates, and others until SEY 2931, when the UEE Navy launched an operation to retake the system and established a forward operating base on Nexus III. The UEEN maintains strict control of the world and only permits authorized visitors.
