Anson's World was a political time bomb. It was intended as a way to pay-off wealthy investors in the Terraforming business. It ended up being a precursor to the U-war. The planet and its moons were the first privately owned worlds in the 'Verse. This caused two problems. The first being that the people of Anson's lived at the pleasure of their owners, and found their circumstances akin to those of feudal serfs. The second that the an uprising on the privately owned moon, Steele, resulted in a confrontation between revolting peasants, and the Alliance (on the side of the magistrate). When word of a slaughter of lightly armed settlers by alliance troops spread throughout the 'Verse, it was ''the Steel that struck the Flint to spark the war''. <br> | Anson's World was a political time bomb.
