Overview

Novo Franklin is a hot, agricultural world settled in 2598 by Reunification War refugees fleeing the Outworlds Alliance. Unwilling or unable to establish a central government, Novo Franklin's settlers split off from one-another. Within four hundred years, all of these splinter groups had developed feudal states, as many as 55 different kingdoms. Technology, medicine, social progress, education and science have all but been forgotten, and low-level warfare is constant - mostly in the form of ritualized BattleMech combat jousts and public executions of dissident peasants - maintains the status quo.[1]

Owner History

Planetary History

In the 3060s Clan Snow Raven and the Outworlds Alliance began forging a close relationship, but the inhabitants of Novo Franklin apparently remained ignorant of the political changes within their nearest neighbour. By 3067 a number of Alliance traders were attempting to build closer connections with Novo Franklin.[18]
