Description
Nishapur was one of the four worlds of the Khwarazm Empire, located coreward from the Inner Sphere. A mountainous world covered with large desert areas, it had temperatures slightly warmer than Terra. Khwarazmi technology was well below that of the Inner Sphere.
The Khwarazmi people were poor, subsistence farmers, while the merchant ruling class lived in relative opulence. This all changed after the Clan Invasion, as Clan Jade Falcon severely curtailed the rulers' freedoms.
The Explorer Corps had wanted to insert spies throughout the region to gather intelligence on Clan movements, while also supporting anti-Clan resistance in the empire.[1]
