[Spinward Marches] Suggest a colony world to me!

Anyway, if the Imperium tried to develop them, I guess there would be quite a lot of diplomatic conflict, as the BW would lose the legal facade of independent, and sure this move would be diplomatically apposed by the SW and (I guess) quite a lot of people in the BW themselves.

Of course this will only add more interest to an adventure about developing them, either by Sword Worlders or by Imperials.

In the OTU[*], all the Metal Worlds belong to the Border Worlds and have a population level of 0 (at least officially) in 1117 [RgS:45]. In 1115 a group of people from Lunion had attempted to settle there illegally, but when Norris became archduke, he decided to appease the Border Worlds and allow them to expel the illegal settlers [SW:68]. In the GTU the Imperium (who wasn't distracted by the Rebellion and the (assumed) imminent threat of Zhodani invasion) decided to settle the controversy by buying all four Metal Worlds from the Border Worlds [SW:21]. The Lunionites stayed on Steel and a colony was se up on Mithril in 1119.

Vanejen (3119) C686854-5 ... just say that most of the population is indigenous aliens, so your players' job is not only to manage a fledgling human settlement, but to keep peace with the locals.

Vanjen is covered in A2 "Research Station Gamma"

Have you looked at Glisten and District 268?

Glisten I've looked at extensively when I was doing my proto-planning (before the group decided on a more set "story"). Lots of nice Amber zone worlds with archaic tech under Imperial rule, I think. Had me a plan to make them go hunting for a computer that could read old style punch-cards.

But District 268? Not at all I think. I will now, officially, have a gander. COuld even work out as they'd be "based" on some world in 268, but are forced for various reasons to wander into the Glisten sub at times (and the higher tech Glisten itself). Hmm...getting ideas here...

The story of Dawnworld.

Cool story. Hadn't gotten around to looking it up yet.

Thanks for the heads up.

It would work well with Legacy of Heorot/Beowulf's Children, reason for why the colony failed.

Elixabeth is a world in 268 that might work: B426467-8 and a Naval Base.
