:Set is an arid Earth-like world located in the closest orbit to the parent star of Apophis. Violently
:Set has been a constant source of strife and conflict within the nation for decades, with three of the last major conflicts in [SPECIES] history taking place on its surface. Because of the general lack of federal oversight, financial support, and popular approval on the planet, Set is a tinderbox always on the knife's edge of igniting and causing yet another major conflict millions of [SPECIES] troops will need to intervene in to prevent a wider system catastrophe. Though the planet's population may be poor, the industrial, mineral, and agricultural importance of the planet itself within the system is too important to allow the populace to run completely rampant. As the only major habitable world with a biosphere in Apophis, allowing Set to disrupt the flow of goods and services to the rest of the Apophis's colonized worlds would be disastrous and potential result in famine, disease, and economic collapse across the system. As such, the federal government maintains a heavy military presence on Set, where troops frequently combat insurgents and rioters in the planet's many cities and mountain ranges.
