Here are some sample results:

• Gikarlum in the Hkea'as subsector of the Trojan Reach used to trade extensively with Burgess in the same subsector, until the Tiykhisto clan blocked the trade route. The world is now looking for a new trade route to replace that which was lost, unless the Tiykhisto can somehow be convinced to open it up again.
• Glories Under The Claw is an Aslan corporation that supplies everything the would-be Aslan conqueror needs for an invasion, and is one of the few corporations that does extensive business with the Glorious Empire. It's rumoured that the company is also perfectly willing to keep wars going for as long as possible, so that it can continue selling goods, sometimes to both sides, and such is the case with the Hierate's attempts to conquer the Empire.
• Inurin in the Borderland subsector of the Trojan Reach is a balkanised world lacking a central starport, though the different nations have their own ports that they try to encourage visitors to land at. There are rumours that some of the nations have gotten especially aggressive in this, attacking ships that are going to land at ports belonging to hostile nations.
• Irlaiw in the Silraaihe subsector of the Trojan Reach is an Aslan world that is hugely overpopulated and has to rely on shipments from offworld to keep the population fed. The starport has an enormous backlog of traffic, and there are rumours that the Irlaiwi are looking to both expand the starport and develop space habitats for food production.
• Khtiyrlo in the Hkea'as subsector of the Trojan Reach is the new home of the Tiykhisto clan, who are currently engaged in a War of Assassins with the Ahroah'if, who have also begun a trade embargo. GeDeCo is one of the few human corporations permitted to trade with the Tiykhisto, and there are rumours that the clan is looking to buy not just high-tech and industrial goods, but the infrastructure needed to build the. Such could mean a lot of money for GeDeCo, though the Imperium might not be happy.
