Planetary Info
For most of Buckminster's history it was an agricultural world whose light industry produced agricultural equipment. The products of the world were often sent to the nearby Lyran world of Port Moseby. After Buckminster was made a prefecture capital in 3005, the DCMS stationed the Second Sword of Light on the world.[2]
The presence of military forces on the world, and the exercises and training runs that they require, dramatically reduced the productivity of the farmland. This had a bad effect on the local economy. These changes to the world took place in a scant two decades, and the population has spawned several covert and overt anti-government groups.[2]
The Word of Blake launched an assault on Buckminster during the second week of October 3069; the Blakist ground troops were backed up by a fleet of Pocket WarShips and during the course of their assault shattered several cities on the planet in addition to the defending 7th Amphigean Light Assault Group.[7]
During the Jihad the Second Sword of Light turned against the Dragon. This disgraceful action increased the ISF presence on Buckminster as the world served as the headquarters of the Second. As of 3079 every level of government and corporate board was being observed and investigated by the Internal Security Force.[1]
