May 5, 3064 – Representatives of multiple interests from Keid has approached us. They want to apply to become a part of the Coalition, and then we’ll move in, garrison their world, and protect them from the ongoing pirate band.

We have accepted them in, and welcome them to the union. We’ll move over a garrison unit to, to help keep things steady.

Because of the presence of the Lyran Guards, Keid’s infrastructure was not damaged as much in the Chaos March problems. Keid is another world with a large amount of water, around 80% of the surface. In addition to worlds like Hsien, Carver V(Liberty), New Home’s large water (due to its Terra-like nature) and more.


Keid is a major commercial center, with large amounts of shopping, trading, merchants, and more. It has a much more modern service-based economy. Melissa Steiner-Davion really developed the world and invested in Keid post-4th Succession War. The population was strongly pro-Melissa, but never pro-FedCom or that much pro-Lyran Alliance afterwards. Keid killed off the leaders of its rebellion in order to keep the peace and it was quick and painless.



Because of the large oceans, Keid has a major industrial company, Bigoti Seacraft. Bigoti makes large blue-water naval vessels, like submarines, ships, support vehicles, and more for the oceans.

Blue water naval assets do not have the popularity of other military craft. They have the least amount of transportability from one planet to another, or from one operational zone of command to another. Meanwhile, humanity has not built a lot of settlements over oceans and such that require a lot of naval vessels to assist. Meanwhile, many worlds are water-poor, and there’s no value at all in a submarine in that sort of place.

Plus, when there’s a need to fight in water there are usually other options. VTOLs, and fighters both Aerospace and Conventional can hit stuff at water. Hovercraft can hover over the water and hit things. Even Mechs can go underwater (and if you add a few things to them, they can be really good under water too).

With a large number of water rich worlds nearby though, Bigoti Seacraft can do some good stuff helping shore up any blue water naval needs we have.


Like Liberty, Keid was a haven for a small WarShip manufacturing company, Thompson’s Shipyards, which made the Carson WarShip, introduced in 2632 and finished by 2722. This Destroyer class WarShip was initially ordered for around 400 to be made, but the Lola III came around later and replaced the Carson before that order was completed and then de-commissioned when the powerful Essex class was commissioned. There are still a few Carsons in service in Word of Blake/ComStar’s navy. The Shipyards were closed down in 2720, long before the Amaris Coup begun. But in the Succession Wars, the Shipyards were destroyed in order to prevent the Capellan Confederation from having the ‘Yards and the capacity to reboot them. Unfortunately for us, they were destroyed so badly, that there’s nothing left for us. They were even stripped down badly, and any useful metals, parts, information, and more was stripped over the centuries since. The Shipyards are just a bit of torn mass, and nothing else today, a sad sign to a once-strong region of space.


So there’s no shipyard potential with Keid. But we have added blue water naval assets to the Coalition if we want. And that sort of diversity is always nice. Yay!


We hire the Kraken Unleashed Mercenary group to garrison Keid, protect the Bigoti Seacraft area, and also to get some experience in blue water naval assets. They specialize in amphibious attacks and more. They were recently formed, just finished their first contrast garrisoning Remshield, wee they took out some invaders, and now we are hiring them for Keid specifically,, but to help many of our water rich worlds generally, get in training and expertise.
