- Loyalists’ Rock Locations
Loyalists’ Rock is a small Ice planet locked in a gravitational embrace with a moon (called The Pebble) that’s two-thirds it’s size, so that the moon doesn’t so much orbit the planet as they do a whirling dance around each other as they orbit the star.
There is a thin atmosphere of nitrogen and methane, that is devoid of oxygen (whereas The Pebble is airless). Local gravity outside buildings with Grav Plates is 0.2G. Slightly less than a third of the planet is covered with seas of liquid methane. From the surface of Loyalists’ Rock, the star is just a bright dot in the sky.
As explained by a local Legion Customs Officer:
“Loyalists’ Rock isn’t a big place. Population’s about thirty-five hundred. We’re too small to have a Children’s Bureau here, so lots of kids stay with their families. After the school shift there’s usually something happening at the community centre and most people, are pretty welcoming of outsiders.
“There’s a museum dedicated to the events that took place during the Uprising here, worth a look if you’re a history buff.
“Other than that, there’s a hotel in town and the restaurant there does a good Goat Steak.”
