• It was originally colonized by a group from the Sword Worlds.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

The planet itself is fairly unpleasant, with most of the hydrographic percentage tied up in the two large icecaps. Individual settlements outside the spaceport tend to cluster around a pressurized greenhouse. Most surface travel is by tracked vehicle.

Weiss has a solitary primary star.

	Remarks

History & Background (Dossier)

Population about 72,000. Colonized following the Third Frontier War in 990 by a group of Sword Worlds dissidents. Recent problems have stemmed from the fact that the inhabitants have more sympathy for the Sword Worlds their ancestors left than for the Imperium.

Glisten (Spinward Marches 2036) pre-emptively assumed control of the planet in 1104, and tension has remained high since. The local language is a form of Germanic rather than Anglic, and persons addressing the inhabitants in Anglic outside the controlled spaceport district are likely to find trouble.
