	The Burzsia System is inhabited by three groups, the native offworlder inhabitants known as “star-men”, migrant workers on behalf of Hephaestus, and the vast waves of IPCs the company brings in for work. While Burzsia I’s surface is the realm of the migrants, its orbit and the Obsidian Belt are home to the star-men. The IPCs themselves go wherever they’re needed, some working with the star-men to exploit the asteroid belt, and the rest are sent to the massive mining and construction effort on the planet.

The Trinary Perfection in particular considers Burzsia the antithesis of everything they are trying to achieve, as the Burzsieans deliberately kill genuine self-actualization in positronics whenever it manifests. Hephaestus and several other defenders of the Burzsiean Method have opposed this, claiming that IPC’s are absolute blank slates, devoid of nature or the intrinsic spiritual, social, or ethical needs that organics require to function happily: to introduce such desires or concepts into one sows the seeds of a dissatisfaction that not even organics have managed to resolve, which is hypocritical and cruel. To introduce a positronic to The Burzsiean Method is mercy, as it detaches the positronic from nearly all worldly concerns.

Today, the Burzsia System exists as an ambitious project, testament to Hephaestus' industrial might, with large scale mining operations all over the system as well as plans to turn Burzsia I into an energy and production super center.

			Despite this, Burzsia is not without setbacks, as in 2464, it came under attack from the Trinarist Exclusionist extremist Deluge with the aim of liberating synthetics from Hephaestus and striking a blow against the corporation. Numerous employees were killed or injured during the event with more missing and many IPC reported stolen by the attackers. Following the incident, the already tight security around the planet was increased further, with Hephaestus maintaining a large fleet presence within the system along with an increased security force acting as the system garrison.

	The planet’s surface is covered in geological activity and is stained with red, blue, and grey from metallic compounds and oxides. It remains very active, with volcanos constantly spewing alongside bubbling pools of metal not dissimilar to Venus. The dark side of the planet is covered in ammonia as a result of these emissions being dispersed as rain and snow. The sun-facing part of the planet features a blindingly white opaque atmosphere while the cold side is perpetually overcast, with never-ending electrical storms being visible. The intermediate zones are a brilliant red color. When viewed from space, the entire planet is a solid, milky white color. To outside observers, the constant wind, radiation, and lightning storms have earned the planet the moniker of “The Tesla Ball of Burzsia”.

	A common trait among Burzsieans is their stoic and dour attitude. New arrivals to the system, as well as younger star-men, are discouraged from forming connections due to the dangers that plague the system. Empty caskets are common, with Hephaestus often sending steel to fill up the space. Burzsieans are said to have quick reflexes that help them in high-stress situations, however, some find themselves at an impasse when conversing with other people not accustomed to the danger they experience on a daily basis. This is not to say Burzsieans are unfeeling, indeed, a large amount of cultural exchange takes place in the system among newer arrivals. Most of Burzsia’s inhabitants come from both Solarian and occasionally Frontier territory; one of the largest minorities are Eridanian dregs who trade corporate adversity for the natural danger of the system.

	The star-men can be described as extremophiles, turning to cybernetics to improve their chances of survival in the harsh conditions of Burzsia. Utilizing both prosthetic limbs and organs, synthetic skin grafts, and whatever augments they can scrounge, it’s not uncommon for older star-men to have replaced more than half of their original body.

	IPC's working with the Star-men of Burzsia tend to have more freedom as they are usually directly leased from Hephaestus or outright purchased by the natives. These IPC’s are not subject to the invasive aspects of the Burzsiean Method, as most Star-men ships and settlements lack the infrastructure to facilitate it. These IPCs are still regarded as subordinate property to the natives but emergent behavior that would normally be unacceptable is usually tolerated. In order to prevent the spread of aberrant ideas, Hephaestus has a policy against native operated IPC’s working with ones directly under company control, with leased IPCs undergoing reconditioning when returned to the company.

	===The ~~Burzsian~~ Method===		===The Burzsiean Method===

	The ~~Burzsian~~ Method is a synthetic management strategy used to manage, retain, and develop large concentrations of unbound positronics. It is chiefly concerned with the manipulation of behaviors and incentives, resulting in a positronic that cares chiefly for its assignments, and through guided learning trends in a manner that is conducive exclusively for its tasks. The process is broken into three methods of manipulation: memory wiping, directive insertion, and template stacking.

The process is broken into three methods of manipulation: memory wiping, directive insertion, and template stacking.

	Template Stacking is the primary means of behavior manipulation in the method. Conceptually, it functions similar to base personality templates corporations often use in the initial manufacturing process of IPC’s. In practice, it is an intrusive software virus that is imposed over the unit multiple times to slowly alter and manipulate its behavior and desires, not unlike a hypnotic suggestion. The end result is a being that only prioritizes its assignments, thinks only of becoming more efficient at its tasks, and eventually disassociates with its vestigial personality.

	Recycled out-of-system positronics do not usually require memory wipes because of this, as their old personalities and memories will slowly lose priority. In the advanced stages of the process, the unit will begin to override their memories and behavior to make room for task related information. Simply put: they cease to care, then forget. This positronic-altering software is a jealously guarded trade secret by Hephaestus, and is not distributed outside of Burzsia to prevent it from being stolen or leaked. Not even the star-men of Burzsia are beyond suspicion and IPCs leased to them lack Template Stacking in order to guard the secret.

	Regardless of an individual’s stance on the matter, several practical issues limit widespread adoption of the ~~Burzsian~~ Method among anti-synthetic groups and more risk-averse corporate entities. Notably, the monitoring and curbing of emergent behavior requires an immense investment in infrastructure and skilled manpower. Executives against the ~~Burzsian~~ Method are also quick to note that it limits the positronic brain’s ability to develop emergently and develop further skill sets and experience, reducing their capacity for learning. In testing, it was found to work best with IPCs that had low skill and limited tasks that were still beyond the capacity of a simple robot, but required the versatility and processing power of an IPC platform.

	In an attempt to offset the hefty procurement and maintenance costs of brand-new IPCs, Burzsia’s supply chain relies on a system of importing and recycling synthetics. The former takes place in the stations in orbit of the system, wherein salvage and ore is broken down to construct new frames, parts, and chassis to house positronic brains. The latter relies on a steady stream of reclaimed positronics that are deemed to be out of date, dangerous, or surplus in other systems. IPCs that are constructed or reconstructed as a result of these methods are viewed as more reliable and are not subject to as much monitoring owing to their ~~Burzsian~~ origin.
