Independence is a planetary system located in the New American Colonies of the Sunset Gates. It is a G-type star orbited by eight planets, three of which are extensively settled, along with several inhabited moons. The U.S. state of Columbia occupies the entirety of the system, with the sole exception of New Philadelphia, a federal district and the capital of the United States of America.

As the seat of the U.S. federal government, Independence is a major political and economic hub. The system serves as the primary headquarters for multiple federal departments and agencies, hosts the offices of major interstellar corporations, and is home to some of the nation’s largest industry associations, nonprofit institutions, and research institutes.

Independence is the fifth most populous star system in the United States and one of the country’s top tourist destinations.
