System: Sackville

[3014] During Anton Marik’s Revolt, the division between the pro-Anton, pro-Janos, and neutral provinces was somewhat murky. On a map these borders were clear enough, but in reality many of those provinces suffered deep internal divisions over the question of where their loyalties should lie.

In the Sackville system, the main world declared for the Captain-General, but the mining colonies on Sackville’s moons favored Anton. With no federal troops in the system, the miners used the mass accelerators (machines used to propel refined metals into Sackville orbit) to try to persuade the loyalists that they had chosen the wrong side. Soon a deadly rain of ground-car sized metallic meteorites was slamming into Sackville’s cities. These attacks continued for weeks before the FWL navy could spare DropShips and marines to deal with the rebel moons.

Nor was Sackville an isolated case. World against world. Continent against continent. City against city. Even street against street and house against house. Virtually no world would be spared.

There are no functional factories located on this planet.
