 First laid in the early [[beta_age|Beta Age]] by the [[free_state_of_settlers|Free State of Settlers]], the road was engineered largely by penal-labor work crews sentenced to infrastructure duty. Financed in part by private investors such as the [[trade_guild_of_new_kourou|New Kourou Trade Guild]], the Trade Route quickly became — and remains — an indispensable pillar of [[the_humans|Exohuman]] commerce. Caravans, courier convoys, and Federal supply trains still roll over its stones in the [[the_gamma_age|Gamma Age]], stitching together the planet’s most populous zones. First laid in the early [[beta_age|Beta Age]] by the [[free_state_of_settlers|Free State of Settlers]], the road was engineered largely by penal-labor work crews sentenced to infrastructure duty.
