The planet Guadalajara in the Vespucci system is a rare occurrence in the Sirius Sector. Its surface is covered with a mixture of hot deserts, wet jungles, ice cold mountain ranges and virtually every other type of terrain found on other planets in Sirius. However, the great variety brings also all kinds of extreme weather and temperatures, a price worth paying in exchange for the vast amounts of natural resources the planet habits.

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.
  
Regardless of the sometimes extreme conditions, the [[Hellfire Legion]] is planning to undertake a limited terraforming process to make most of the planet's surface habitable. In the more mediterranean and temperate regions, several local installations, along with a few resource-extraction operations formed around what appears to be a relatively small capitol of unknown name. Prior to that the Legion installed an extensive and highly classified planetary defense network which is complemented by full-scaled planetary shields and [[Fort Leniex]]'s extensive electronic warfare systems, rendering any attempts at breaching the jamming fields unlikely in the first place while the planet's own defences ensure any attempt at an orbital bombardment to be doomed to fail. Despite the installations and the population on the planet's surface however, the Legion is unwilling to acquire the necessary data and resources for the construction of a full docking ring, as such a structure would render the jamming field in place effectively pointless the second someone saw the docking ring.

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 little known fact about Guadalajara is that the headquarters of the elusive BigMax(TM) corporation are also located on the Planet's surface, the reason for that being a mystery.
+
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 [[Bretonia]]n [[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.

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.
