Garrison is a high-population world with a billion or more sophonts in population size.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Remarks: Garrison is the inner moon of a gas giant circling Hoshito's star. Long the site of a major Imperial frontier installation,hence the world's name, the planet also has supported a fairly large colony for several hundred years.

History & Background (Dossier)

In 1101, following the Birthday Massacre, the planetary population revolted. Local naval and Marine forces were quickly reinforced from neighboring worlds, and the rebellion was rapidly put down. Garrison was declared under martial law, with Marine Commandant Greyson implementing a number of extremely stringent directives to prevent a further outbreak of violence on the world.

Resentment to the military government runs deep, and new protests have begun against Greyson's refusal to hand the reins of government back to civil administrators. It is widely believed that Greyson enjoys his power as Military Governor Pro-Tem and is deliberately slowing any moves towards a return to the pre-rebellion status. Two major protest strikes by starport workers have taken place in the past year (both suppressed by Marines), while four unsuccessful assassination attempts against Greyson have been mounted. Naturally, these activities have done nothing but solidify Greyson's power and give him an excuse to clamp down still farther on the population.

Garrison's high law level indicates extremely rigid controls on civilian movements, almost constant harassment by military police and a stringent curfew imposed on citizens without specific work permits. The planet is posted as an Amber Zone by the Travellers' Aid Society.
