Description
The planet has five continents and four seas. The largest and most important of the continents is Albion. Avalon City, capital of New Avalon and ancestral home of the Davion family, is also the capital of the Federated Suns. The continent is very diverse geographically, moreso than any of the other continents. Albion also hosts the New Avalon Institute of Science, situated 30 kilometers south of Avalon City.
The northernmost continent is New Scotland with its capital of Dundee. Snow covers the continent for nine months out of the year, but is a wonderful habitat for the Silver Ice Snake-Weasel, a two meter-long creature prized for its fur. It also has the only major deposits of precious metals.
The second largest continent is Brunswick, named after a family of major landholders early in the planet's history. It is the site of much oil production and hosts two major spaceports, three major cities and a majority of New Avalon's industry. The capital is Brunswick City.
The third largest continent is Rostock and has the only desert on the planet. The continent is large and flat and contains Gaveston's Gorge, the largest canyon on New Avalon. It is the breadbasket of New Avalon and provides a substantial amount of food. Large swaths of the land are owned by noble families who raise a wide variety of animal stock. The capital of the continent is Flensburg.
New Hebrides is a island group near the equator in New Avalon's largest sea. The climate is quite hot and tropical and the terrain can be rugged, with high mountain ranges across the islands. The islands are also frequently struck by strong hurricanes. Because of the tropical nature of the island group, it is a primary producer of fruits on the planet. The capital of the group is Thomasville.
History
Discovered in 2205 by the TAS Camelot, the verdant richness of the planet was visible immediately. Developed rapidly and blessed with pleasant weather, the planet quickly became a destination for colonists, most settling in three waves between 2213 and 2221. The original colonists of New Avalon were selected on Terra by a quote system, drawing from volunteers from various western European nations; the largest contributions by percentage came from Scotland, Ireland, England, Germany and Pan-Scandanavia.[2]
The colonists were accompanied by the typical core government and administrative structure demanded by the Terran Alliance at the time, and shared the world with an Alliance Governor-General, the Governor-General's entourage, three regiments of Colonial Marines and a host of formulated laws, quotas and regulations dictated by Terra. New Avalon flourished quickly, though; within fifteen years of the first settlement being founded the colonists had scattered hundreds of farming communities across the fertile world, with eight cities were established across three continents.[2]
Rear-Admiral Emil Varnay was the Terran Alliance Governor-General deposed during the Grain Rebellion of 2237 all but assuring New Avalon independence from the Terran Alliance.
The inhabitants quickly managed to cross-breed several Terran plants with the indigenous plant life and created New Avalon wheat, a hearty strain that is grown throughout the Inner Sphere. With its favorable climate, New Avalon continues to be a major food supplier to surrounding systems.
