Planet Veracruz (formaly: Planet Guadalajara) is the sole habitable world of the Vespucci system, and previous seat of power for the Commonwealth of Liberty - an independent civilian government formed by the Hellfire Legion in 822 AS. Following the disastrous Siege of Bering in 827 AS, the newly formed Insurgency deposed the civilian government and reasserted military rule. This has resulted in significant internal discontent owing to uncertainty about the future of civil liberties and freedoms on the colony.
Veracruz has a harsh frontier landscape, with the extremes of temperature and weather complicating the Legion's early colonisation attempts. Much of the local economy is concerned with seasonal agriculture, and the small mining operations established in the frozen north. While the defuct Commonwealth had attempted to prioritise internal industrial development, these projects were consistently hamstrung by a lack of qualified civilian specialists. Nevertheless, the gradual industrialisation of Veracruz has attacted the ire of the Gaian movement who launch raids from the Tijuana Ice Field.
A census conducted by the Commonwealth in 826 AS placed Veracruz's population in the region of 125,000 people, with a large portion comprised of destitute Bretonian refugees who had fled the warzones in New London and Leeds. Veracruz's immigration policies and reliance on foreign labourers had resulted in long running tensions with Xeno movement, who accused the Commonwealth of betraying its Libertonian roots. How the Insurgency will respond to these complaints remains to be seen.
