Intro to Olympus Lambda

Backstory for Stars Without Number!

Sector Olympus Lambda ruled by “GH: Galactic Hegemony”, came into power quickly, holds a tenuous hold that has become strained over the last several years.

GH dissolved over last couple of years very suddenly and violently, with coups and wars between planets. GH left behind:

Sector South: Mainly controlled by CCR, Chhayan Congressional Republic, retreated back to home system after GH dissolved and staked claim, made party’s ship

Sector North: Considered frontier (Anything with 00 in north/west).

Eurystheus: Aegis Shipyards is powerful corporation, makes most of system’s ships with CCR

Martinez: GH had Corliss Triumvirate, military powers with personal bodyguards and private armies, travel advisory to Martinez system because it’s not safe

Haqiqatiju: Haqi masters, psychics, psychic academy, Pakostas has very prestigious psychic academy

Other minor factions, like Rowan’s Asclepias (based in Farusa in Pusti system), Janick/Bijou’s Yesler scientific (research group that’s active in Sector South based in Rabab, works with CCR).Farusa in Pusti is most centrally located planet, free air planet very similar to Earth, and used to be GH headquarters, not sure what to do with the planet because no government. Still thriving with business, individuals, travelers, but any government influence (like lobbyists) is waning. Farusa has country, but it’s still traveled and very future (TL4, has grav vehicles). Several large metropolises. Just over 1B people on the planet. Some areas are very sparsely populated. Reclamation areas to give back to the planet. Planet was terraformed pre-Scream (when it was very easy), lots of foliage believed to be imported from Earth, although most of animals are believed to be non-Earth creatures.
