The recipient of the first wave of Earth's colonization efforts. Bekenstein's founders had a decidedly less agrarian plan than Eden Prime. The mission of Bekenstein's first colony was to become Earth's first off-planet manufacturing base, ingratiating humanity into galactic culture by producing needed goods. Meeting with mixed success for the first generation, Bekenstein then leapfrogged its competition by producing high-grade luxury goods that were sent straight to nearby markets via the Citadel. Today, Bekenstein is known as "the humans' Illium" a place where new-money tycoons flaunt their wealth and the have-nots are rarely spoken of.
