History and background

Colonized after the introduction of the jump drive into the clusters by a utopian group from Sansterre (Reft 2322), the colony remains although the original fervor has waned.

With the arrival of the Regency forces in 1140, Achille was found to be a Cemetery world, with no remaning population. The cause, whether the continued fighting between the Island cluster powers or a Virus attack, remains unknown. Renamed Mitchell by the Regency Quarantine Service and serves as one of the their local bases.
