  Espinoza is an ocean world occupied only by an abandoned New Moon Cooperative listening post. The planet has no other settlements but several large reef islands that have not been explored.   The plants here have been identified as a possible solution for extracting toxins, pollutants, and radioactivity from soil. The Greystar Confederacy is waiting for the first results from a test of this.   It was later confirmed near the beginning of 2668 that the plants here were suitable for cleaning the destroyed soil of Buey, and more development is slowly being done. A colony was established here flying Greystar Confederacy flags, and is being supported from core Greystar space.   Since the establishment of the Greystar colony, a growing independence movement has moved through the working classes though most agents sent to try to determine the cause have instead branched off to other objectives or had been recalled to more serious issues before the investigation could proceed. It is thought that with this territory being the furthest north with little individual support from core Greystar space , and many of its inhabitants being former New Moon Cooperative citizens, there is some pining for home.
