System: Buena

Their world settled by a mixture of Latin-European colonists, the people of Buena, who have retained their dominant Spanish and Italian roots, languages and traditions, are a far cry from the stereotypical Germanic image of most Lyran citizens.

The climate of Buena further clashes with popular stereotypes of these people, as so much of the world's four large landmasses — Luego and Santigo in the north, and Dominika and Revida in the south — lies within the planet's cooler, semi-boreal latitudes. Many semi-tropical and Mediterranean islands dot the massive oceans between the landmasses, but the interaction of the planet's large moons causes many of these smaller isles to disappear with regularity — often for months on end.

Despite its cultural incongruities, Buena is another key part of the Lyran realm because of its MechWarrior academy, the Buena War College, and the presence of the Buena Training Battalion. These assets provide for the defense of the Lyran state in general and — thanks to Buena's location — for Alarion Province's Periphery-League border specifically.

Buena's capital city is Ciudad del Mar, located on the southern shores of the Luego continent, while the War College resides at Fort Buena on Dominika.
