Hirson II

"A barren planet, surrounded by none others habitable. A barely noticeable speck in a neglected portion of Andromeda, completely isolated from other galactic affairs. This is what we want, Admiral." - Horsell, to Godwin.

Hirson II, named after the former terrestrial world Hirson in the Milky Way galaxy, is the capital and sole world of the Malphaen Republic.

Established shortly after the navies of the former Milky Way galaxy arrived through a black hole into Andromeda as the capital of the Malphaen Republic, it was favoured by Horsell for its isolated nature, in the far galactic east of the galaxy with no close proximity to any other habitable planets. This was to ensure that the newly established Republic could maintain saftey from foreign powers; particularly the Empire, of which following the destruction of the Milky Way it had neglected and effectively abandoned, despite being a part of the Empire previously.

Its terrain is fertile and saturated, despite its outward appearance being dry and desolate; large areas are saturated in simple Fungi and Fern like plants named Candors. It is largely unknown how life developed in such a linear fashion.

The planet, in Malphaen style, has been split up into multiple sectors, the overlying Hirson II Superior and Inferior, and smaller sub sectors within these two. All sectors possess a city, which citizens are enticed to move to.
