Weiss

• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Glisten Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector in the Domain of Deneb.
• This world was most recently colonized by and is still controlled from Glisten (world).
• It was originally colonized by a group from the Sword Worlds.

Description (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.

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.
