Beruni

Before the outbreak of hostilities, the capital world of the Reikholm system was a tranquil, populous and stable place. Much of the surface of Beruni is given over to agriculture, aquaculture and light industry. It also hosts a sprawling administrative complex from which the system’s bureaucrats operate. Surrounding this complex are the villas and estates of Reikholm’s ruling […]

The Governor’s Palace

The seat of the Imperial Governor was once a striking sprawl of buildings twenty leagues across. Its majestic architecture, wide boulevards and impressive statuary attested to the wealth of the Reikholm system. After an orbital bombardment in the first days of the war and a subsequent week of fighting, the city is now a shattered […]

Port Dramsund

Dramsund is both a spaceport and a seaport; much of the agricultural produce that is lifted into orbit is first brought to Dramsund by barge. Port Dramsund is thus both an important economic asset and a key way to get war materiel to the various battle-zones elsewhere on Beruni. Warzone: Beruni Recommended modes: Tactical strike, Centurion, Front line, Titanicus. Recommended terrain: industrial […]

The Kirunan Delta

The Kirunan Delta is one of the most fertile parts of the planet. A rich network of rivers run down to the ocean, creating a vast stretch of arable land. Whoever controls this zone controls a significant portion of the system’s food production. Warzone: Beruni Recommended modes: Tactical strike, Centurion, Front line, Titanicus. Recommended terrain: rivers, bridges, woodland, scrub, jungle, […]

Harlstadt

In Beruni’s lower latitudes agriculture becomes heavily industrialised. The land is dotted with tall hydroponics towers and krill tanks, while the surface of the sea is given over to vast aquaculture farms. It is in places like this that the bland, grey rations of the imperial forces are manufactured in processes that those consuming them […]

Tanslo Astropathic Sanctuary

The teeming minds of the population of Beruni represented a significant source of interference for astropaths attempting to receive messages from out of system. The system’s astropathic sanctuary was therefore established on the more sparsely populated moon of Tanslo. In one of the many infamies of this war, the resident astropaths have been pitilessly massacred by the IV legion. This terrible cull has left […]

Stenburg Spire

The Stenburg Spire was the main habitation zone and manufacturing hub for Beruni. The Spire suffered disaster on only the fifth day of fighting, as a stricken Traitor army transport fell from orbit and struck the hive in a deadly impact. Most of the above surface levels suffered catastrophic collapse in an event that has produced the largest […]
