History & Background (Dossier)

It is the capital of one of the three states that collectively make up the Trindel Confederacy.

The Imperial megacorporation Sternmetal Horizons LIC has offices on Trindel; Sternmetal is the only Imperial concern to make much of an impact in the Confederacy.

Urbanization

The largest city is an arcology called Rothton, a complex of towers over two kilometers high spanning the Arianus Straights between Malawar and Couloomb.

Military

This world is home port for the Trindel Confederate Navy, TCN. The 1st TCN Battle Squadron calls this world home. This defensive squadron relies on Archipelago Class System Monitors to prevent invasion. This is also the site of manufacture for the Trindel Class Battle Riders, deployed aboard Starbelt Class Fleet Tenders for offensive operations and patrols.
