The Planet Guadalajara is the sole habitable world of the [[Vespucci]] system, home of the [[Commonwealth|Commonwealth of House Liberty]], a separatist government formed by the [[Hellfire Legion]] in 822 [[A.S.]] With its surface covered by a mixture of arid deserts, wet jungles, frigid mountain ranges, and deep oceans the planet is a rare occurrence in the [[Sirius]] sector with its wide variety of biomes. However, this great variety brings severe extremes of weather and temperature, a price worth paying in exchange for a habitable planet with appreciable resources.

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 meteorological extremes, the Commonwealth has begun to undertake a rather limited terraforming process to make larger portions of the planet's surface habitable. In the more mediterranean and temperate regions, several civilian settlements and military installations are being constructed around the capital of the Commonwealth, known as Hykarsis. Several strip mining operations have also begun in the frozen mountain ranges of the planet's northernmost continent, much to the chagrin of many more eco-minded Legionnaires, sparking some sympathy for the encroaching Gaian movement who have proven to be a growing thorn in the [[Hellfire Legion|Legion's]] side due to their exploitation of Guadalajara.

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.
  
Following the construction of the planet's docking ring in 823 A.S., development of Guadalajara has begun in full swing, and many of [[Liberty|Liberty's]] corporations have been invited to test the waters, with the Commonwealth extending charters to [[Orbital Spa & Cruise]] for seasonal resorts at the Planet's more hospitable locales. DSE has also been invited to survey Guadalajara's natural resources, though they have been reluctant in doing so, considering the complex political dynamic between the Commonwealth and the Republic.

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.
 
 
A recent census of the Commonwealth placed Guadalajara's population at somewhere just below 125,000 people, with a large portion comprised of refugees that have fled the many war fronts across Sirius. While the Planet conceals a moderate amount of valuable mineral deposits, a larger portion of the planet's economy is centered around aquaculture, and at the right time of year, agriculture as well. The primary exports from the Commonwealth's capital Planet are high quality [[Leather]] and [[Luxury Food]], with more militarily relevant materials being shipped off to Legion bases in the system for processing.

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.
