| Rich mineral and petrochemical veins, mined, refined, and sold from this world, have fueled a variety of minor industries covering the three habitable continents of Bragadin, Darwan, and Lesser Harpago. These industries produce everything from children�s toys to electronics, civilian automobiles, and aircraft. Even a few noteworthy military corporations, such as Bulldog Enterprises, a well-known tank manufacturer, and Guided Technologies, proven producer of short-range missile systems, call Proserpina their home. But as with all such productive and wealthy worlds, this abundance was also a great curse. During the Succession Wars, Houses Davion and Kurita fought bitterly for control of Proserpina, and each time, the inhabitats have suffered. The worst damage came during the last battle between Kurita and Davion over the world, when Kuritan troops bombarded it with a lethal nerve agent that killed more than half of the population. As a result of that long-ago attack, two continents�Amerigo and Greater Harpago�are uninhabitable wastelands now. In fact, the northern Amerigo continent may only be approached in full environmental gear, because of contact poisons that remain active centuries after their use. Prosperpina�s capital city, Conqueror�s Pride, is located on the eastern shore of Bragadin, which is also home to the famous University of Proserpina, a military academy in the days of Kuritan rule. Proserpina�s other claim to fame is the native blood limpet, a hard-shelled quasi-reptilian that resides in the planet�s swamps, where it waits for any warm-blooded prey. Capable of astounding speed, this small, six-legged beast decimated the early colonists of Proserpina and poses a threat to unwary travelers in the planet�s swamps to this day. | |||||
