History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Belgard is a low-population hellworld located in the Egyrn Subsector of the Trojan Reach. The planet's name is probably a corruption of Beauregard. The system is the seat a minor polity called the Belgardian Sojournate, the only local power in Egryn, and directly controls the captive government at neighboring Gorgon (0205).

The lone settlement on Belgard is the city of Sojourn, located high in the mountains. Sojourn is the site of the spaceport and the home base of the Belgardian fleet, which is made up of ancient and increasingly balky Imperial escorts and small military craft, none displacing more than two thousand tons.

Much of Belgard's natural resources have been ravaged in an unplanned, callous manner, as the Belgardians do not see the planet as their permanent home. However, prime trade goods are animal pelts, precious gems and most importantly, naturally occurring zuchai crystals. The effective TL of the Belgardians is 6 in most areas; TL9 refers to their spacefaring technology.
