Mjolnir is a poor, nonindustrial desert world with no free-standing water.

• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Sword Worlds Confederation in the Sword Worlds Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector.

• This world has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships.
• This world has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces.
• Mjolnir orbits a much larger rocky body named Niflheim.
• It was originally named Haulteclaire.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Niflhiem is a massive world shrouded in clouds. Automatic probes and most manned expeditions all fail to return from voyages into the atmosphere so little is known about the world.

Mjolnir has two stars in the star system.

History & Background (Dossier)

A poor, non-industrial desert world with a tropical climate in the Sword Worlds Subsector of the Spinward Marches.

• Mjolnir is a member of the Sword Worlds Confederation, and the system supports a Sword Worlds military base.
• The planet's major resource is its vast oil pools, and mining of these pools is Mjolnir's primary industry. A devastating earthquake on 126-1044 destroyed Mjolnir's capital, Midhvolf, and reduced the planet's population by 75%. Midhvolf has not been rebuilt, and the new capital has been established at Uttonat Omrade. Mjolnir's starport is Armundshaven, which is also the world's commercial center.
• Mjolnir was originally named Haulteclaire, and has been largely overlooked and under-populated throughout the history of the Sword Worlds.
