PLANETARY DETAILS:
Tharkad was discovered in 2310 by an explorer group from nearby Donegal. Though the rugged mountains and windy, arctic climate extending over most of its surface made it seem a dreary place for humans, the world also contained major radioactive and gem deposits.
There are five major continents and three major island chains of Tharkad. Tharkad City, the capital, is located on Bremen, the largest continent.
When Tharkad became the capital of the Lyran Commonwealth in 2407, space was cleared in the middle of a large forest ten kilometers to the north of Olympia for the construction of the Capital city. The large and somberly elegant Royal Palace, Government House, and Royal Court form the three cusps of the Triad, a triangular complex of buildings all devoted to the administration of the Commonwealth.
Set on the crest of nearby Mount Wotan is Asgard, the military headquarters of the Steiner armed forces. It is a fortress with one major tower flanked by four smaller ones. All five towers are heavily armed; below them are hangars for a regiment of 'Mechs, two of infantry and tanks, and a Wing of AeroSpace Fighters.
There are no roads leading to the Triad, and so all traffic must enter by VTOL craft or by one of the three separate subway systems that link the Triad with Olympia to the south, Asgard to the west, and the rest of Tharkad City five miles to the north.
With Katrina Steiner-Davion's September 18, 3057 declaration of independence of the Steiner half of the Federated Commonwealth, Tharkad became the capital world of the Lyran Alliance.
