Aquitaine is a high-population garden world located in Capella Subsector of the Solomani Rim. The system is a member of the Solomani Confederation and a leading member of the Boötean League, best known for its expertise in gravitic technology. Aquitaine is also a major exporter of luxury items, particularly food delicacies and superb wines.
Aquitaine was colonized around -2100 by francophone Terrans. Intermarriage was common from the earliest days of the colony, and under Aquitaine's bright sun dark skin proved to be an advantage, so almost all today's Aquitainians are of olive to deep brown complexion. The planetary society is bilingual, with Galanglic as well as the local descendant of French being taught in schools.
During the Long Night the planet had slid back to TL7 and planetary government had collapsed. Reunification occurred about -1000 under a warlord named Henri Kientega, who titled himself King Henri V of France and Aquitaine. Aquitaine is still ruled by the monarchy established by King Henri. Aquitaine is well-known for its elaborate code of courtesy. Blunt speech or abrupt action of any kind are considered inap- propriate.
