Davute VII was a star system that attracted a lot of different visitors.
It served as a de-facto staging point for humanity's occupation of the Krakatoa Middle Zone. A lot of different colonization fleets stopped by this location first in order to collect personnel, supplies and intelligence before heading off to their desired colonization destinations.
One of the most notable factors about Davute was that it also hosted an MTA colonization bureau. While it was a relatively modest and unassuming facility, it nonetheless offered many pioneers the opportunity to earn MTA merits by performing missions that were in their means to fulfill.
Many of them typically entailed activities that pioneers already intended to perform anyway. From mining precious resources to clearing pesky indigenous alien populations from life-bearing planets, the MTA evidently wanted to accelerate the pace of human development.
