Planet History
Northwind was purchased by Clan Stuart during the Exodus and named for the Clan's old home in Scotland. The Stuarts were joined by the Highlanders, the last vestiges of Scotland's independent military.[5] To prove their worth, the Highlanders founded Kearny, a mining town.[6]
In 2362 the Clan Elders that ruled Northwind elected to raise a standing army, the Northwind Highlanders.[7] The Highlanders became an elite mercenary unit. Because of this, many aspiring mercenaries traveled to Northwind to learn the trade and employers frequented the planet to hire the Highlanders, creating an informal hiring hall.[8]
Geography
Northwind was composed of three continents: New Lanark, Kearny, and Halidon. All three continents had roughly the same level of development.[9]
New Lanark was the largest landmass, the location of the capital city of Tara and Northwind Military Academy. Each of those locales was situated near the Tilman River. Tara, formerly Cromarty City, was home for over two million inhabitants in 3067. The Castle, a Star League-era fort that served as the command center for the Northwind Highlanders, was also located within Tara. The planetary capital's architecture was obviously inspired by pre-spaceflight Scotland, with cobblestone streets and bountiful taverns. Situated within the city was Peace Park, so dedicated by the First Lord of the Star League in 2657. Tara was serviced by Kohler Spaceport.[9]
Kearny, the second largest continent, was home to the world's second most populous city of the same name.[9]
Halidon was the smallest continent on Northwind. It was home to the aerospace annex of NMA and Halifax City, which contained the planet's secondary spaceport.[9]
