A pre-industrial Imperial-aligned world in the Lunion Subsector of the Spinward Marches. Derchon is a frozen world with only a trace oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere. Derchon contains an Imperial Scout Base specifically tasked with watching the Sword Worlds.
Non-canon:
The Derchon Anomaly
In early 1102, an unidentified object transited the outer reaches of the Derchon (Spinward Marches 2024) system, following a roughly Coreward-Coreward-Trailing vector. It was traveling at such high velocity (estimated 0.12C) that no ship could possibly intercept it.
Sensor data revealed that that:
- the object had a high albedo.
- it was spinning or tumbling rapidly.
- its mass was in the 1000-2000 ton range.
- it was highly radioactive.
Although the object was not under acceleration, these facts argue strongly in favor of some type of artificial construction.
Investigation of this object by the Derchon Anomaly Intercept Mission (DAIMISS) in 1103 revealed it to be a derelict spacecraft associated with the legendary Ahaja Bucherei and his fellow Dru'mhilla exiles.
