| BANNER OF THE UNITED RAZATES OF GUILDHEIM |
THE GUILDHEIM SYSTEM
Guildheim was originally colonized as Schiasz. in the 34th Imperial year from the planet
Liberty Hall. Along with Pearl of Zandvoort, Hardass, & Dragonrest (all Liberty Hall
colonies) it formed part of the Liberty Hall Confederation. Guildheim became independent
after the collapse of the confederation after decades of pressure from Die Weltbund. A planet
of some resources, it's thin atmosphere ( breathing at sealevel is equal to breathing at 2000
meters on standard planets ), precluded colonization on a large scale. However the systems'
location & twin asteroid belts made a perfect base for smugglers & pirates. The Schiasz
corsairs would found Mercator in 223 as a trade emporium. This changed with the
immigration of the business elite of Hardass after its annexation(530) by Die Weltbund.
These five corporations (Remion, Kaada, Michelmaas, Rejencii, Basalke) would relocated at
Mercator in 536, re-opening closed mining operations, & underwriting transport & corsair
groups. In 564 they established the Guildheim Trade Association, renaming the planet
Guildheim, & established themselves as overlords under the name of Raza. In time, their
corporations devolved(?) into clans with many of the population & the corsairs becoming
clients of the various clans. By 601, Mercator had taken on the look of a modern, starfaring
city. Its two moons, Tayne & Belacorte, were fully developed by the second half of the 700's,
the former as an A-class starport & the latter as a major naval basx & shipyard. In 724, to fill
a need for trained personnel, Guildheim Merchant Academy was founded. In 818, a major
change happened to Guildheim's fortunes. In that year a trade mission to the Spinward
Marches for technicians & university staff brought back not only 26 qualified teachers, but
one more individual- Sian Alan Beaufort. A visionary Imperial businessman & a stockholder
& former officer of Oberlindes, Beaufort would bring much needed capital & ships to
Guildheim fledgling merchant fleet. Beaufort, in conjunction with the Michelmaas family
as a 40% partner, would establish Transbeyond Lines, running between Guildheim & the
Spinward Marches. TL(which would become Beaufort Lines in 984) became a running
conduit of retired Imperial personnel into the Guildheim system. Beaufort would be
granted Raza status in 844.After informal alliances with the Imperium, Guildheim would
sign the treaty of Remion/Luinte formally establishing friendship between the Imperium &
Guildheim. Despite Guildheim status in the Beyond (particularly its famed merchant
academy), it still remains a hotbed of intrigue, clandestine deals, & outright piracy. It is also
the center of operations against LOFWIA & Die Weltbund (the Imperium keeps more
personnel in the Guildheim system than anywhere else in the Beyond), and was instrumental
in neutralizing the Zhodani & Die Weltbund during the 5th Frontier War.
The banner of the United Razates is the Silver Schiasz, the 30-60 long reptilian marine
predator that resembles a spiky version of the extinct Solomani moasaur.
Guildheimers tend to be tolerant, fairminded, honest & honorable in dealing with others.
Since corruption & bribery tend to be the way business gets done in Guildheimer space; this
tends to bewilder the outsider on their first few forays into Guildheim. On the other hand,
Guildheim honor dictates that once bought, you stay bought. It also means business
contracts are honored to the letter-even if the patron is killed afterwards, the contract is still
carried out. Outsiders should beware of breach of contract with Guildheimers-often it will
lead to a duel & not a lawsuit.
The characteristic hairstyle of Guildheim is the Mekuu, where the hair is worn long & pulled
back into a ponytail bound in either bright colors or clan colors (if affiliated with a clan).
The style has spread among free traders, mercs, & corsairs(though the latter will wear usually
monocolor bows in conjunction with the ascheim style). Trelyn Domain merchant nobles
have also adopted the mekuu calling it the kuuraagi style.
Due to adaptation to the thin Guildheim air, nativeborn Guildheimer gain a +1 to their
Endurance on normal & thick oxygen atmospheres.

Never exploited, even by pirates.
Never exploited, even by pirates.
| GUILDHEIM/UWP:A535300 |
Main colonized planet of the system, 15 days from the primary at 6G. Bulk of population at
Mercator, the captial, with most of the ruling families residing at Greenwich. Native
Guildheimers through evolution helped by genetics have evolved larger chest cavities to
handle the low oxygen content. Offworlders outside envirroment-controlled buildings
should carry a respirator or take oxytabs. Oxygen tanks are needed for heights above 3000
meters. Mining & farming because of the low permanent population (approx. 9000) is
mechanized. Two small moons, Tayne (UWP:A100200, Starport)) & Belacorte
(UWP:A100200, Naval Base) circle the planet, along Beaufort's & Basalke's orbiting repair
docks & Guild Merchant Academy & the Guild Merchant Academy Space Museum. Tech

| SALLEE'S DRIFT/UWP:X000200 |
An asteroid belt rather than a drift, containing over 9000 asteroids of various size. 20 days from the
primary at 6G. Named after Afram Ken Sallee, who established a pirate razate here in the 125 that
lasted over 300 years. The belt contains 5 naval bases, 8 scout bases, a clandestine IISS base,
numerous pirate & smuggler lairs. One of the rumored hiding spots of the Onihime, the destroyed
stolen by Bette Noire after her escape from Trelyn Domain custody. From its inception until 1108,
LOFWIA maintained bases. Now frequent sweeps by the Guildheim Navy & allied corsair keep it
clear. Location of the 1st & 2nd battlefleets, made up of SDB's & asteroid ships, each built around
a batron of 4 asteroid battleriders.

A weird, seismicly active world, wracked by methane eruptions & its beautiful rings.. Wyrdheim is
avoided except by the most desparate or brave of adventurers. 16 minor moons all under 2000 km in
diameter. 28 days from primary at 6G.

Second belt in the system, 31 days from the primary at 6G. Many asteroids pulled by Wyrdheim's
gravity. Mostly inhabited by naval personnel & belters. 7 naval & 18 scout bases maintain because of
LOFWIA & Die Weltbund intrusions. Also home of the 1st Assault Squadron, a squadron built around
a batron of 4 Beaumonde-built Azhanti High Lightning frontier cruisers, 11 Harkriim light Carriers, 4
Moisura destroyers, 7 Ikaara Destroyers & 12 Serpent class Scouts.

| MIRKHEIM/UWP:B123100 |
A frozen world with metal & mineral wealth, Mirkheim is a razate itself, granted by the Razas of
Guild to the corsair Aes Ryoko Aani after her services in defense of the indepedent states of the
Liberty Hall subsector. Since her return to Lilith in 1102, it has been held by her chancellor, Kes
Martin Kaas. Ceni Armida, a mining company controlled by Deva des Plaines' Tonbo Rais, LTD
corporation, has had a mining concession there since 1094. Ind 1107, zuchai crystals were found
on Mirkheim's moon, Glitter. Besides 2 SDB's based on Glitter & the planetary missile bases,
Mirkheim is guard by 14 orbital laser batteries each mounting 2 triple laser turrets.

| MERCATOR, CAPITAL OF GUILDHEIM |
Mercator started as a landing base for survey teams. In -10, pirates started using it as a base,
building temporary housing. In 344, privateers under Liberty Hall built a C-class starport with
several permanent control structures & underground bunkers. The town itself was built west of
the landing pads. After the transfer of magnates from Liberty Hall, major rebuilding started. A
A-class starport was built with 40 pads, later extending to 70 pads in 757. In 640, the Razas
started building their mansions over the old bunkers. The old C-class port was rebuilt as the
landing field for the nascent Guildheim navy. By 880, Mercator had reached its present form.
Mercator is a wide open town, catering to the roughest of starfarers, many whom are recruited as
personal retainers for the Razas or for the planetary police or the space navy. Those there is no
Aslan consulate, several clans have clandestine embassies thru various embassies on the planet.

| THE RAZAS |
The Razas are the overlords Guildheim, part high tech feudal lords, crime bosses, merchant
princes. Their clans are up of their descendants, the descendants of their original retainers,
pirates, & the descendants of the original Guildheim corsairs. All citizens of Guildheim belong
to one the clans, bearing all the protection & responsibility that the Razas provide. Non-citizens
& outsiders, even important businessmen, do not have the automatic protection of the Razas,
unless, of you are willing to pay for it to one of the clan leaders. The razas themselves stay aloof
from outworlders residing in Greenwich. Most of their work is handled by nyoten (counts)
residing in Mercator. The Razas maintain herds of Iszhsaurs, for food, riding animals &
prestige.
Peace between the clans is maintained by the Razas' controlling non-competitive operations.
Where frictions arise, disputes are settled by negotiation, litigation, or by the code duelo. The
planetary police & space naval forces are maintained on a equal contribution of funds by each
Raza. These military unites are commmanded by officers who are mercenaries, who have the
option after 20 years service retiring into the service of one of the clans. The Raza have also
rewarded mercenaries by allowing to set up an indepedent Barony such as Highball in the Sallee
Drift, own by the former high admiral of the fleet, Koraan Eln; and Mirkheim, a Razate under
Aes Ryoko Aani. Many merc leaders have also been married into razate families or have had
important marital ties arranged by the razas.
Politically, the Raza normally play off one side against the other, profiting from the chaos. In
the last century, under Imperial influence, they have, with Liberty Hall, Pearl of Zandvoort, &
Castle Keep; the main proponent of a new Liberty Hall Confederation. The Razas, being
farsided, realize that with the instability of Die Weltbund, the activities of Tuablin, & the
LOFWIA could turn into collapse & anarchy. A powerful subsector wide group is needed to
maintain relative peace in the Liberty Hall subsector.
With the current anti-Imperial Duke of St. Foy walking out of negotiation & taking several
planets with him, the LHC is currently moribund. Secretly, the Razas have tried diplomatic
means to covince those St. Foy-allied worlds( Castle Keep, Ixhel, Gamma Centre, & Offutt's
Station ) to break away from St. Foy & return to confederation talks. Along with giving
sanctuary (& a barony) to the corsair Rei St. Foy (cousin & head of the pro-Imperial party),
these activities have put Guildheim & St. Foy on a semi-state of war. However, both the Razas
& Duke Niccolai are currently short of allies. In 1122, Malesi hault-Fhormal, the renegade
Imperial admiral & commander of the Deathlords recruited many of the Mapepire & Liberty
Hall mercenary companies & freelance corsairs for the Gorian/Aslan conflict in the Trojan
Reaches. Coupled with the collapse of the House of Lords (a corsair band allied to the razas),
the Razas & the Duke are currently too hardpressed by LOFWIA terrorists & pirates & a
resurgent Die Weltbund to openly come into conflict.
