The Newtonian system is based around a very young, very hot blue main sequence star. Only two objects orbit the star, both uninhabitable. The inner solar system features a single, vast, and largely unexplored inhabitable planet which shares the system's name. Based upon mitochondrial evidence it is assumed that the planet was terraformed a very long time ago, where its isolation and relatively powerful background radiation spurred a rapid and divergent ecosystem unknown in the rest of the cluster. The rest of the system is kept free of debris by a dead brown dwarf star in a highly eccentric orbit. Scientists disagree on how it came to be a part of the system - the leading theory being that it was a passing star captured by Newton’s gravity.
Although lying within easy slipstream distance of Charon, the planet has to date only been successfully colonized by Fortuna, although the population consists only of a small number of scientists, researchers and adventurers.
Newtonia is defended from further efforts at colonization by powerful and dangerous radiation belts. The world itself is a paradise, but one has to pass through the inferno to get there. To keep the planet connected Fortuna sends specially shielded ships with information, supplies and new personnel on a bi-yearly basis. It’s expensive, but it’s worth it to the pride and future security of Fortuna to keep an outpost so deep in Charon-controlled space.
With the age and size of the planet, it’s entirely possible that there may be remnants of earlier colonies left behind as artifacts - perhaps even dating back to the Great Diaspora of ancient myth...
