Procyon - Greene's Cities

| History: During the years
of the Terran Hegemony, the SLDF maintained a garrison force of 3
regiments, made up of both battlemech and conventional forces. The
garrison’s main role was to protect both the Brigadier and Earthwerks
R&D and production sites. The latter's facilities, located 3000 miles
due west of the "old capital" Sheitin, were destroyed when the
planet collided with its smallest moon five years before General Aleksandr
Kerensky led the Exodus fleet away from the Inner Sphere. Prior to the
Exodus, the SLDF forces destroyed the 3 Brian Castles on the planet. The
current capital of Guilded Halls is said to be built upon the ruins of one
of the castles. The second was located in the Unspoiled Isles and the
third was also located on Greene, built in the second mountain range near
the equator. Conflicting reports have kept all attempts to locate the
latter site hidden for almost 300 years.
Geography: Despite this frequent changing of hands, however, the natives of Procyon have retained a fairly indifferent attitude toward conquerors, clinging to most of the customs handed down from the days of the long-vanished Terran Hegemony. The greatest sign of this planetwide sense of apathy was the long-abandoned Brigadeer Corporation ’Mech factory in the virtual ghost city of Cleveburg. Located on the pockmarked and rocky southern continent of Halbiero, this factory and its surrounding city experienced a small revival when Earthwerks finally decided to purchase and restore the decrepit complex in the 3050s. Today, Procyon is a largely agricultural world of sparsely populated
farmlands and forests, though the new Earthwerks-Procyon Engineering
Vehicles plant produces and exports enough industrial vehicles and
’Mechs to form a secondary planetary industry. The less mountainous
supercontinent of Greene, home to the majority of Procyon’s small cities
and large agro-plexes, is located just north of Halbiero, and extends into
the planet’s polar regions. The capital city of Guilded Halls, located
on Greene, along the Wantu River, also boasts Procyon’s largest
spaceport and the nearby ruins of a Star League-era Castle Brian that was
destroyed during the Amaris crisis by an orbital bombardment. Aside from
Greene and Halbiero, the bulk of Procyon’s surface land takes the form
of the Unspoiled Isles, a chain of miniature island-continents stretching
along the southern hemisphere, east of Halbiero. The Unspoiled Isles are
heavily wooded, but dotted with the remains of abandoned cities and
destroyed Castles Brian, a nearly forgotten vestige of the days of the
Star League. |
