History: Milieu 1248

Flammarion is still a loyal world of the Imperial Regency. It had long operated as an isolated outpost during pre-Civil War times, and reverted to that operation. The Imperial Regency greatly values this distant outpost and keeps the world heavily fortified and defended. This world should always be considered an Amber Zone, and considered to have a law level of “F” to anyone not from the Imperial Regency. Non-Regency traffic has learned to avoid the world.
