Intaki is the home system of a major member of the Federation and is located in the war zone.
While the system itself is resource-poor, it is still one of the wealthiest systems in the Federation. When conquered by the Caldari and auctioned off, a deal was made behind closed doors offering money and shipping rights to one of the megacorps as a way of mitigating the effects of Caldari ownership.
It was the location of Verine Veaulore's death.
