Anselhome has a population between 10,000 and 10 million sophonts, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. This world is a satellite of a gas giant or another planet in the system. It is a member of Sword Worlds Confederation in the Querion Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector and in the Sword Worlds.

Astrography & Planetology

The mainworld is a large planet orbiting the system's only gas giant. Its wealth of ores attracted colonists who hollowed living quarters into the rock. Some of the atmosphere for the underground habitats is processed from the gasses put out by Anselhome's volcanoes.

Anselhome is a member of the Spinward Main.

Native Lifeforms

Amazingly, Anselhome supports a form of native life: bacteria and lichens in the low-lying valleys.

Careful analysis by a highly qualified biochemist would uncover that the dominant lichen form has been tailored to collect certain heavy metals, concentrating them in the coral-like structures they leave behind after death.

History & Background (Dossier)

Anselhome is one of the Entropic Worlds, subject to ongoing disputes over ownership by the Sword Worlds Confederation and the Darrian Confederation. In the Fourth Frontier War the system was captured by the Sword Worlds.

The original Darrian mining base, dating to pre-Maghiz times, remains hidden somewhere beneath the surface. Its precise location has been lost, and the continual burial of the surface under highly metallic outfall and lava flows has prevented sensor systems from locating it. Many miners dream of rediscovering the complex, hoping to gain access to astounding pre-Maghiz technology.

World Starport (Sp)

Anselhome has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

History-Era: Milieu 1120

Anselhome was recaptured by the Darrians during the final stages of the Fifth Frontier War.

Initial joy at liberation was followed by a brief but violent civil war between various political factions, which resulted in the loss of many Darrian lives. Almost all collaborators with the Sword Worlder administration were killed in retribution; a fact which wasn't recorded in Anselhome's historical records. The Darrian Confederation poured relief aid into the mining colony, soothing ill-feelings regarding their lack of action until this point, but the Third Imperium continues to be vilified for its role in preventing a liberation effort from occurring earlier.

History-Era: New Era

Anselhome replaced its government in 1138 in an effort to attract new trade and investment.
