A rich planet and member of the Sword Worlds Confederation. Historically Tizon has been one of the most important of the Sword Worlds, and in the past it has built an empire big enough to make it a power almost comparable to Gram/Sword Worlds (Spinward Marches 1223).

Today Tizon pours its energy towards trade, science, and art.

Tizon has two small moons, though neither have significant installations.

The Planet

Tizon has two continents, the larger one (Treskaginir) covering most of the northern hemisphere, and a smaller one (Noeglen) taking up half of the south. The world is rich in minerals, with mining communities scattered all over the planet.

Tizon has a dense oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere with almost perpetual cloud cover (only 10% of the planet receive direct sunlight at any given moment). As a result the climate is chilly.

The capital city is Ny Eital. The Tizon system also has a Sword Worlds military base.
