Maybe just a suggestion but:
How about gas giant planets for the system creation. You could use those to mine all kinds of gasses.

Name: The Allerast Union of Obro
Abbreviation: AUO
Nation Specie: The Elegrions
Specie Description: The prime specie of the AUO and also the main inhabitants of Obro. They are slender, small, and nearly muscleless. But they ahve a big head and big eyes. Sophons are celebrated scientists and thinkers. They are a relativily young race, and since the discovery of FTL technology they are driven to uncover the many secrets of the galaxy.
National Symbol/Flag/Emblem:
Nation Population: 900 mi
Nation Focus: Research
Nation Government: Republic
Due to the existence of 2 main continents, the population of Obro is inherently divided. Each continent houses their own Senate. Which elects 5 represenatives to seat among the United Congress. Congressmen keep their seat for 5 years before they are back up for election. So each senate votes every year to replace a congressman. Every 5 years a president is chosen. A president can be a senator, but is not allowed to be a congressman. He chairs the Congress. The role of president these days is seen as a transcendant role with the discovery of other species and FTL.
Nation Economy:
Free market. Elegrions believe in constant dynamic. To warant pure, unrestricted change they have as few as possible economical rules. Of course, certain things are prohibited. But mostly the market is allowed to go up and down as it prefers.
Nation Culture Description:
Celebrations
Unification day - One of the greatest days celebrated. Also one of the most recent. Unification day is the day that, through long negotiations, both continents pooled their resources to effectivily lift their civilization up towards space. It was brought about by the treaty of Allerast, the Floating city. Often a cheery day with parades in Allerast and the two continental capitals. At night the people light candles on tiny balloons and release them in the sky. Symbolizing the uplifting of their specie.
Day of the Sunken Spirits - A memorial day. Remembering the many souls who perished at sea during the many battles between both continents. Often a more sorrowful day. Day of the Sunken Spirits is also the day when many bury the hatchet and make peace with everyone around them. At night, small boats carrying candles are released on the shore.
Favored & not favored
The Elegrions favor constant change and advancement. This is reflected in almost everything. Buildings are made out of modules. They can be changed, expanded, shrunk or upgraded extremely quickly. Chefs constantly change recipes and keep on experimenting. The change is inspired by advances in technology and science.
What they dislike is stagnation and conservatism. Even history is sometimes concidered as unimportant.
Nation Economy Description:
The economy is small, but rising. The long standing fued between both continents made unified industry & services impossible. Now all forms of unification is being rushed and pushed. Though no matter how much pressure is put on the unification process, fundamental differences remain. Be it in communication protocol, safety standards or even certain measurements.
