Location
A warm tropical world located in the stellar desert between the Taurian Concordat and the Outworlds Alliance.
Economy
Randis has some modest importance as a stop-over point for traders plying
Periphery spacelances. Occupied in 2988 by Erdelmaine Randis, the planet has
since become the home of a theocratic band of MechWarriors from all parts of the
Inner Sphere. The Brotherhood provides a home, security for one's family, and a
secure (if modest) economic base. Occasionally, it contracts out to neighboring
systems, where local brush wars provide ample opportunity for the brethren to
hone their skills. At
present, some three to five thousand people inhabit the planet. Most are
unskilled laborers used to clear the central rain forests for the construction
of repair facilities that, in time, will net much-needed revenues. In the two
generations of the Brotherhood's existence, little has been done to
industrialize the planet. All are concerned only with the continued training of
MechWarriors to the exclusion of practically everything else.

Tropical world.
Martial Information
A nondescript world boasting
few natural resources, Randis is the home of a band of Knights-Templars,
MechWarriors who have joined a pseudo-religious order, the Brotherhood of
Randis, dedicated to the perpetuation of the art of war. To members of this
order, the MechWarrior is the culmination of the history of armed combat. They
avoid all other forms of combat as contemptible and "unchivalrous."
Indeed, the members of the Brotherhood have dedicated their lives, their
fortunes, and their families to this code.
