Claymore Minor

This page refers to the planet Claymore Minor, in the Claymore system.

Description
Claymore Minor is one big desert. Folklore, coupled with various tests, suggests that Claymore Minor was once a temperate planet. A nuclear war destroyed the ecology, leaving only the strongest plants alive.

Claymore Minor is inhabitated by descendents of human colonists. They have adapted to the enviroment, causing them to be virtually immune to radiation. Nevertheless, roughly 20% of all children born are mutants. These unfortunate children were usually killed after birth, but since the entry into the Confederacy, they are allowed to live. They tend to be viewed as lesser beings by the 'normals'.

Claymore Minor has a population of roughly 3.000.000, most of which are "normal" humans.

Claymore Minor is ruled by the Council of Seers, which is based on Claymore Prime.

History
Little is known of the history of Claymore Minor. At some point, a massive nuclear war occurred between rival nations, destroying the ecology and almost wiping out the population.
