Description: Feudal world, a valuable warehouse world from which resources are collectted from Agriworlds and forgeworlds in other subsectors and forwarded to hive cities such as Meksum I, via private, commercial or adepto munitorum transports. The world is ruled by the Emperor Regent, who is elected by a council of 10 barons. Each baron is the head of one of the planet's main trading cartels, who rule the world from fortress cities across the planets surface.
Over all the standard of technology is poor, weaponry for the average population is often pre or just post black powder. However, the private armies maintained by the Barons are often equipped with exotic and powerful weapons and equipment, brought in via the ten low grade starports that are the crux of each baron's trading empire. The Capital city changes depending on which cartel is currently in power.
There are no orbital cities, but the orbit of Darien is dominated by a immense space station where the vessels of rogue traders, powerful cartel leaders, and other commercial shipping dock. Also in orbit round Darien is the mysterious weapon system known as the "Angel of Death" - a doomsday weapon from the dark age of technology. Its firing key is held under guard in the Inquisition fortress following the Severian Incident, when a rogue baron, Severus, rebelled against the Emperor Regent and discovered the key of the weapon system.
In addition to the string of defences/space stations, two moons orbit Darien. These are the home of the Ordo Hereticus fortress, and the accompanying prison - Lost Hope IV. The moon is therefore declared perdita, and all warp or sub-light travel to it is forbidden except for Inquisition craft.
The PDF is obtained through tithes on subservient barons, imposed by the Emperor Regent. These are often well equipped with weaponry such as las weapons imported from forgeworlds in other sub-sectors. The las-weapons, however, often have furniture sculpted to reflect the flintlocks of black powder weaponry.
Fashion on Darien varies for the poor, depending on which baron they serve, as their clothing is always in the livery of their master. The Barons, however, effect Naval uniform, albeit without insignia and often in the livery of their cartel, in remembrance of the Battleship "Honourable Wrath", whose crew colonised the world for the Imperium after it was damaged and became seperated from the Rogue Trader Fleet that mapped the Sector.

img78.photobucket.com/albums/v353/Kyron/Darien/Darien_map_final.bmpEdit: this location seems to be better suited to the concept - Especially since it lies between Meksum I and New Povolzh, a perfect position for a warehouse world.
