Imperial City, the capital city of Luthien, is located on the primary continent of Hokkaido, just north of the planet's equator and between the Kado-Guchi Valley (to the west) and LAW City (to the east-southeast).[1][2] It was also the home of the ruling Kurita family. Prior to the Black Dragon Coup in 3067, the large, sprawling city was bordered by beautiful gardens and thousands of acres of forest.[3]
Imperial City on Luthien is one of the most breathtaking cities in the Inner Sphere.[4]
Residing just mere kilometers from the center of the city are a series of 'islands', hosts to the planet's larger industrial complexes, including the Luthien Armor Works' primary complex, the Luthien Armor Works - OmniMech Production Facility and the company's headquarters and corporate center, LAW City.[3]
History
In February 3073, during the Battle of Luthien, the Word of Blake Militia's 32nd Division arrived on Luthien in order to assist the 42nd and 9th divisions in defending the Imperial City, following the departure of the Sathen's Snipers mercenary unit due to battle fatigue.[5]
