Notable Planets of Mechyrdia (list)

Capital of the Olympia sector, has a sizeable French Catholic minority that used to live in the slums until the governorship of Marc Caton.

In its ancient history, the planet was inhabited by extraterrestrial human tribals. A lost Roman legion from the Augustan era, as well as gunsmiths from Renaissance Tuscany and a small batallion of Italian soldiers and Somali Ascaris from World War 2, were transported by an unseen entity through time and space to the planet that would later be known as Nova Roma.

The Italians, out of respect for their forefathers, adopted the Romans' customs, gods and words. With the gunsmiths' metallurgy and soldiers' technology, they eventually conquered much of the planet and established a New Roman Republic.

The French Catholics arrived as colonists from Earth after the invention on Earth of bulkspace travel, and were largely treated poorly by the local Romans.

Human stronghold of resistance during the Ferthlon Rebellion, during which it birthed the National Futurist ideology and the Escadron paramilitaries. Speaks French, just like Mont Impérial.

Nowadays, Velocité has a tense relationship with the Imperial government, seeking independence for their État Irreal from Mechyrdia.

The current Patron of Velocité is Anton Danton, a frightening man who carries the same cult of personality that his predecessors had created.

One of the few worlds that is directly administered by the Mechyrdian armed forces, where military decrees overrule even sector law.

Before the Ilkhan War, Brotwelt was an authoritarian syndicalist oligarchy, managed from the top down by a council of labor union leadership. They were allowed autonomy by the imperial government of Mechyrdia, until they rebelled as they saw the war against the Ilkhan Commune as an attack on their values.

Home of the headquarters of Neleis, a digital supermarket corporation, in Ostaluux Continent. Also the home of the Saiwattins Hallus Independent Territory (SHIT), a former anarchist rioter commune that became a tyrannical warlord state mere hours from its founding. To this day, the SHIT still exists and continues to expand its borders throughout Veloxaamlye Continent, aided by the inaction of Saiwatta Planetary Police.

Some suspect that Rex, the warlord of the SHIT, is a follower of the Herald of Fate, an Aedonic goddess. Whether this is true remains to be seen.

Former capital of the Ferthlon sector, as well as rebellious Ferthlon Internation. Devastated by the Ferthlon Insurrection, it hasn't quite recovered since then. Infrastructure in many areas has completely collapsed, resulting in entire continents being administrated entirely by organized crime and rebel remnants.

The parts that the government can control are where the populace lives in fear, as the planetary governor contracts private companies to provide services as secret police agencies, playing the role of judge, jury, and executioner. In order to prevent any revolutionary thought from appearing, these agencies wiretap calls, spy on homes, and make dissidents disappear in the middle of the night. The Mechyrdian imperial government turns a blind eye to this tyranny, partly because it preserves order, but also because of hard feelings from the war.
