Planetary Info
Lambrecht was seen as an ideal colonization target. It possessed a biosphere compatible with Terran life, water, and extensive metal ores both in the planet's surface and in the remains of a moon surrounding the planet. Unknown to the colonists however was the relationship Lambrecht had to its sun. The massive G6 star's gravity surged over the world in "tides" causing earthquakes that prevented the local inhabitants from building large settlements and quickly destroying any building over a few stories tall. These earthquakes are generally at the lower end of the scale, but still disrupt daily life.
Ironically, the constant low-level earthquakes led to Lambrecht becoming a heavily fortified world during the Star League era. With the University of Lambrecht on the world, the Star League and SLDF put years of effort into experimenting with new alloys that would later form the core of Castles Brian interior structure. Eventually the world would house six Castles Brian, including one that housed Success Mint, a company that printed currency for the Draconis Combine. During the Amaris Civil War all six Castles Brian were destroyed, as well as the boron mines that created most of the planet's wealth.
Enough ruins were found beneath three of the Castles Brian to open them up as tourist attractions. This is balanced against the remaining toxic and biological weapons that have poisoned the atmosphere. Lambrecht has five continents: Galapagos (island continent), Brattanios, Falkos, Phillipharos, and Shasia. Shasia and Philliparos are in the southern hemisphere while the rest are in the northern hemisphere.[1]
