Baldur

This barren, frozen planet was once regarded for having birthed some of the most famous philosophers and political thinkers of the old generations in the Stroga Empire. But more recently, Baldur served as the birthplace and base of operations for the Overlord.

Many thought the Overlord was going to be the iconic philosophical Baldurian thinker of our time. In his younger years he he wrote many treatises on instability of the fractured galactic politics of our time, and on the criminal subjugation of the working class. He became the youngest member of the Council of Baldur in the planet's history. Then, something changed, and he started a religious revolution on Baldur and used it to launch his army of Overlords.

Baldur was the last planet to fall to the Federation of United Planets. The Overlords were wholly defeated at the Battle of Baldur, though curiously the Overlord and his Matron Preacher managed to escape.

The annexation of the planet by the Extran from its traditional place in the Stroga Empire, as well as the extremely violent purging of any Overlord sympathizers by the Extran military, Baldur is now a broken planet. Its population has been axed and its once great philosophical libraries collections razed.
