Shadow

A planet of broad horizons, it was said that one could look out so far that a man could see God's plan. All that is left is a charred and blackened rock. Before the Unification war, Shadow was known for it's wide, fertile plains, grain farms and cattle ranching. Few towns dotted the landscapes. Some of those towns were large, but none could be called a city. The people were hard-working and independent-minded and Shadow was one of the first to join the side of the Independents. Most of the able-bodied volunteered early in the war.

The Alliance sought to make an example of Shadow, bombing the towns and countryside. Instead of causing a wavering in their belief, it only served to hardent the resolve of those who fought, and increased their hatred of the Alliance. Today, despite the terriforming being done to "heal" the land, Shadow is a ghost planet. No one lives there. No one can.
