Location
A world of highland clans and Gaelic traditions, New St. Andrews hosts the
remnants of the old Stewart Confederacy, which was conquered by the Free Worlds
League. After fleeing the wrath of the Captain-General, the refugees were
admitted into the Rim Worlds Republic. After fleeing the onslaught of General
Kerensky's forces during the Amaris crisis, the survivors of the Brannigan,
MacGregor, Sterling, and Stewart families withdrew to this remote world lying
near the Circinus Federation. There, they licked their wounds and increased
their numbers while the rest of the galaxy forgot that they had ever existed. In
the years since New St. Andrews has been settled, the inhabitants have populated
more than half the planet.
Economy
Today,
more than 120,000 people maintain an agrarian economy based on sheep-raising and
horse-breeding. Descendants of Scottish-lrish refugees, the inhabitants face
over- population and dwindling resources (largely due to poor husbandry
techniques). This lack of resources has sparked a series of clan rivalries over
fresh water sites and grazing lands. The social order remains unstable, and
lacking immediate aid from offworld sources, more than half the population can
be expected to die within the next decade either because of warfare or famine.
