SECTION 15
MacBeth, like Baal and St. Germaine, is a sizable and diversified colony. It is a hospitable planet, third from a Class G star, with a climate much like Earth’s. Settlement on MacBeth goes back five decades, and the colony is only slightly behind St. Germaine in population.
The MacBeth colonists were initially drawn from the ranks of the PSP (Pan-Stellar Peace) movement, which was at the peak of its support in that period. Members of the PSP group sought to completely lay aside violence and war as an instrument of League policy. Although their political power was strong, it wasn’t sufficient to achieve true disarmament (which, among other things, would have required the complete suppression of the secret of AKKA on which the League was founded). They did, however, obtain exclusive rights to settle MacBeth as a model colony run along completely Utopian lines.
Following the crop failures ten years ago, food riots and the short-lived coup of Jol Nolar caused the MacBeth colonists to request Legion intervention. After Nolar’s dictatorship was eliminated, a Legion garrison was permanently established in the MacBeth system to help the colonists make a smooth transition to a less Utopian but more successful social structure.
The planet has no major military bases or other League facilities. It has little real strategic value, but the population of the planet and its trade ties to the Fifteenth Sector make it a world of some importance in Legion planning.
If Ulnar chooses to move his forces to the MacBeth system, go to section 25.
If Ulnar remains undecided and wishes to review his options further, go to section 8.
