History & Background (Dossier)
Hrunting's capital and starport are at Brennistein, located on the coast of the Kina Sea. Hrunting's location on the Darian border makes it a natural staging area for expeditions into the Darrian Subsector, but also makes it vulnerable to espionage -- which is why the Hrunting system has regular military patrols. Hrunting contains a military base designed to serve as a central command for coalition fleets. The base was built to accommodate a much larger staff and many more vessels than are normally stationed there.
Hrunting, like many of the worlds in the Sword Worlds subsector, is named for a sword given to Beowulf by Unferth in the ancient Old English epic poem Beowulf. Beowulf used it in battle against Grendel's Mother.
