Gerdos

The planet Gerdos was a small colony which later became the base for the notorious pirate group Dockson's Degenerates.

Gerdos initially consisted of a small mining outpost, which also functioned as a rest stop for mining delivery crews moving their cargo from far-flung mine worlds towards more populous planets for processing. It became notable following the revolt of delivery crews who would later form Dockson's Degenerates. Dockson himself was from Gerdos, and once gaining control of the pirates returned home to establish himself as a warlord. Once Dockson's crews got to work, Gerdos became flooded with stolen wealth from across the region. It enjoyed a brief period of notoriety as a hub for all and any illicit activities. Before too long however Gerdos was raided by a coalition of local militaries, leaving Dockson dead and the pirates flung into the stars. After reforming under Kuzon of the Cosmos, the Degenerates never returned to Gerdos in favor of their new leader's aquatic homeworld.

Gerdos returned to obscurity shortly thereafter, notable only for a marginally higher rate of Eclipse abuse than the rest of the region. The planet's population and infrastructure slowly declined as it was passed from local warlord to local warlord, until it was eventually totally razed by the Orion Khaganate during the end of the Golden Millennium.
