Derchon is an icy, non-agricultural and preindustrial world, whose surface is ice-capped and with nearly all of its water frozen.
- It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- It is a world working toward being an industrial powerhouse but lacks an adequate workforce to do so. It must now import many of its manufactured and high tech goods.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Lunion Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector in the Domain of Deneb.
- This world has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.

Point of Interest: Derchon Anomaly
Non-canon: 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.
History & Background (Dossier)
A pre-industrial Imperial-aligned world in the Lunion Subsector of the Spinward Marches.
- Derchon contains an Imperial Scout Base specifically tasked with watching the Sword Worlds.
