This is only my second prompt response, so please provide feedback. I'm focusing on world-building primarily, so critiques are appreciated. 
 
 ANDROMEDEAN CONQUEST 
 ======== 
 Andromeda Fyr, the towering steel-dune that spired above the expanse of the Great Sandwaste, blinked in a cacophony of twinkling colors on the twilit horizon. Even on the brink of the blazing sun, cargo ships still docked and departed, the port as busy as it always was, Hyrcan reflected. The tires of the dune-crawler kicked up dust and sand as they sped towards the construct, pelting Hyracn ’ s battered goggles. Even at this rate, it ’ d be a good half hour before they would arrive at the outpost - the scale of the structure was behemoth and could be seen from fifty kilometers on a clear day. It was a testament to the capitalist drive of the Imperium - and to the determination of the scum of the galaxy. Just as prescient as the trillions of units that flowed through Andromeda Fyr daily, was the lurking, crawling criminal underworld that was equally as driving of the economy on Tita VI. 
 
 It was but thirty years ago that Tita VI was a backwater world in a backwater system that hardly the citizens in its own system could name. Of course, history changes and stories are told. Empires rise and fall. In the Imperium, the politics of the galaxy dictated the chaos that shifted so rapidly. In the Imperium, it was wealth that commanded politics. In the Imperium - it was the lobbyists that held the power. Hyrcan remembered the day the galaxy heard of Tita VI. It was the day a wayward Consortium assayer on a wayward world struck cuprum. Although the galactic unit was a cryptocurrency, equally as important to the status of the galactic economy was the spread of a gamut of ores - ores to build ships, weapons, and electronics. Ores critical to the infrastructure of literally every society within the Imperium. Amongst the most valuable of these was cuprum. Since the collapse of the Solarian system decades prior, cuprum had risen in demand, but not diminished in importance. Cuprum was a powerful conductor utilized in the mainframes and infrastructures of the Imperium cortex-class ships, as well as much of the Federation fleet. Virtually irreplaceable, the Solarian system was the primary source of cuprum in the rising space age. Entire wars, decades long, were fought over the rusty red metal and the wealth it bestowed upon its holder. However, with demand comes depletion, and the Solarian system could not meet demand. With its resources sucked dry after decades of war, bloodshed, and mining, the Solarian system plunged into a quagmire of ecologic self-destruction. So the Imperium moved on, with nothing more to strip Solaris of, leaving the people of Solaris in a hapless situation. For the twenty years that followed, cuprum prices skyrocketed, with no single other system being able to provide the adequate supply to meet the demand. Until the wayward assayer struck cuprum on Tita VI.
