Owner History

Planetary Info

Maxwell is known throughout the Free Worlds League for two things: Exporting food and capable Parlimentarians. The mostly mountainous terrain makes farming the few flat areas critically important, and it also makes most land vehicles useless. The few broad plains that are available are devoted to farming, silos, and a few DropPorts for visiting DropShips to load their cargo.[1]

Instead of a few large cities, most of the population live on smaller homesteads located in the mountain ranges. In addition to freeing up more flatland for farming, the position of the homes allows for better defense. (Though as of 3025 this is mostly theoretical as Maxwell had never seen enemy forces.) Each of these homesteads features capable communications gear, and the garages are usually occupied by personal hovercraft. Most of the work is done by a beast of burden called the taraises.[1]

The Parlimentarians from Maxwell have also provided great services to the Free Worlds League. Among their number are Ronald Iasceau, who negotiated trade tariffs and agreements with the Capellan Confederation during the Star League era; Jimmy Romanici, who opposed Kenyon Marik's plan to leave the Star League; and Carolyn Levanthal, who defended Sir Carven Gibson when his peace proposals led to charges of treason.[1]
