Horus

Besides perhaps Bennu (or, some say, Moros), Horus is the richest planet this side of the galaxy. Horus's status is due in no small part to being the capitol of the Horus Conglomerate, which is said to handle upwards of 50% of the galaxy's money. Because of this Horus is staunchly independent and vehemently neutral. Although most historians note Horus's inclusion at the first meeting of the Federation of United Planets as the tipping point in the Galactic Civil War in favor of the Federation, economic scholars note that Horus's sudden non-neutrality was most likely a cause of the Overlords not paying their war debts in a timely matter.

Despite being a planet with open borders and a popular tourist destination, the inner workings of Horus and the Horus Conglomerate are completely opaque and extremely secretive. In fact, almost none of the citizens even know how their government is elected or administered. Of course, the citizens of Horus enjoy some of the finest luxuries in the galaxy, including one of the most generous social welfare programs, so their are no complaints among the populace. Though, detractors of the Horus Conglomerate have always posited that the government chemically passifies its citizens with chemical additives to city water supply, that claim has never been proven.
