System: Galisteo

The worlds of Galisteo, Sierra and Cerillos make up the Trinity worlds, also known as the Southwestern Worlds. These hot, dry worlds had once been a bandit kingdom, styling itself the Intendancy of New Spain, prior to being conquered and absorbed by the Free Worlds League. This did much to win the fledging League acceptance from the Southwesterners’ long suffering neighbors.

[3038] 3038 saw a handful of other actions as the FWLM raided its neighbors and was raided in turn. On Galisteo, almost as far from Andurien - and the campaign being fought to return the rogue province to the fold - as was possible while remaining in the Free Worlds, Swann’s Cavaliers came under attack by the Thumpers, a regiment in Lyran employ.

After an initial assault that very nearly saw the Lyran troops overrun their HQ — the Cavaliers were scattered across the planet — the mercenaries rallied and the two units fought a war of nerves and maneuvers that lasted several weeks. The animosities engendered in the campaign would fester over the years that followed, resulting in a number of repeat engagements as the two units raided and counter-raided.

There are no functional factories located on this planet.
