Political Affilation

Planetary History

Vixen was first colonized in the mid-3020's by a small consortium of Canopian corporations. Their goal was to create a resort world like the ones that existed prior to the Succession Wars. To that end they used the cool weather and natural terrain to create a winter sports haven. Ice hockey, cross country and downhill skiing, bobsledding, and curling are just a few of the attractions available. For those who prefer more confrontational excursions, Vixen offers hunting trips that focus on the local fauna. Since it's a purely recreational world, Vixen relies on distance from trade routes and isolation for its defense instead of military forces.[1]

Post Jihad Era

The Magistracy Cavaliers were allowed to return to their traditional homeworld of Thraxa after the Jihad, as a reward for their loyalty to the Magestrix; having returned home, the Cavaliers also undertook to provide security for Vixen, with two battalions residing on Thraxa and a third on Vixen. Since their return, the Cavaliers have faced a constant stream of raids in force from III Legio of the Marian Hegemony as well as raiders from former Free Worlds League worlds and the nearby world of Astrokaszy.[26]
