Acheron

Location: Andromeda Galaxy
Diameter: 12,400 km
Water coverage: 61%
Climate: Temperate to semi-arctic
Population: 15,000 (40% Nietzschean, 60% human)
Other Details: Owing to its location at the nexus of several well-traveled slipstream routes, Acheron was for centuries the site of a major High Guard Lancer base and logistics center. Seized by the Nietzscheans at the start of their insurrection, the planet has been held by them ever since and used by the Drago-Kazov Pride to control access to important sections of the Andromeda Galaxy. Any travelers passing through Cestus Martialis must pay tribute to Drago-Kazov or face the wrath of the powerful missile batteries seeded throughout the system. The planet's small population (Drago-Kazov Nietzscheans and their human servants) exists mainly to collect revenue and enforce the blockade.
