Description:

Apart from the Eurasian Rimworlds’ Combine, this group of independent colony worlds in the region of space known as the ‘Herculis Cluster’ is the only holdout from the Colonial rebellions. It is isolated from the rest of Federation space by the military blockade maintained by the UEAF.

The capital planet, Ernesto Prime, has a population approaching 30 million, and was originally owned by Hallidor Corp. Designated a Class One Planet by the ICA, Ernesto Prime is a democratic republic, self-sufficient in air, food and water, and is rapidly industrialising, to compensate for the loss of trade imports from the Core Systems.

Smugglers reguarly run the Federation blockade to sell goods to the FWA.
