Njord is related to the “God of the Sea and Wealth” from the mythology of the Iron Company's original home universe of Vahalla. The Iron Company believes that the system will lead them to wealth and power.

History and Background

In YE 44 in the galactic-southern region of the Kikyo Sector scouting resources between jobs, the Iron Company discovered the resource-rich Njord System. The company of mercenaries took it upon themselves, at the direction of their Sentinel Albert Steiner, to lay down some roots on Njord Prime. Njord Prime is a habitable world and is a comfortable distance from the main factions that surround the core of the sector. The Njord System would become a refueling and rest point. Not to mention the world offered a wide range of some of the ugliest and meanest xenobiological wildlife in the entire Kikyo Sector. Rumor has it Albert Steiner also picked the jungle planet because of how much it pissed his “Cultural Exchange Bitch” known as Tacho off. The uncomfortably hot and humid planet would make her have to stay in her Krysis Crixa Prototype Armor to shelter from the environment.

Outside of the industrial complexes the Iron Company intended to build, most of the small settlements remained nomadic tent cities that would follow the herds of various xenobiological wildlife that they hunted.

The Iron Company would also start mining operations in the Njord Belt in YE 45.

Njord Prime

Njord Prime is a wild and untamed frontier world. A volcanically active jungle planet with massive algea-rich seas and cloud-streaked dark blue skies. It has become the home of several Iron Company nomadic hunting settlements that harvest natural materials from the planet's unique biosphere. From towering massive insectoids to amphibians the size of neighborhoods the planet has a rich xenobiological ecosystem1) that the Iron Company is eager to exploit and disrupt. The main camp in this world is called Skaditown and it is located in the equatorial region of the main continent which dominates the eastern expanse of the north and southern hemisphere. It is in Skaditown that the Iron Company plans to build more permanent manufacturing and resource processing facilities in the coming years.
