History

Turner's World is named after Mic Turner, the late co-owner of Argent Aerodynamics Amalgamated, Inc. Mic Turner was known as an explorer prodigy specialized in the northern sectors and was one of the founders of the Alliance of Independent Systems when Alioth rose against both the Federation and the Empire. The world is orbited by the starport Donaldson, first of the great Orbis-type spindles. The station is controlled by a Pro-Alliance Group.
