Ilium (SM 0426) (world)

Ilium/Darrian (Spinward Marches 0426 B444831-9)

Ilium, except for its sulphuric taint, seems like a perfect Darrian planet with its warm, thin atmosphere and productive agriculture. This is becaus the pre-Maghiz Darrians terraformed its admosphere by seeding bacteria and plants for decades before human colonists settled permanently. The sulpher was a by-product of their efforts to make the planetary crust out-gas more efficiently.

Ilium survived the isolated centuries fairly well, but remained at a very low tech level. Its inhabitants had gradually developed to about TL-8 when they were recontacted from Mire. Today Ilium is a major naval base.
