Lundheim (Planet)

Lundheim is located Gliese 76120 system, more than 600 LY off Earth.

It was discovered by Jon Are Lund around the beginning of the 23rd Century, and settled through an official colonization program of the Crown of Norway. Lundheim's population was initially composed by no more than 2,000 permanent residents, and up to 8,000 temporary ones in 2335. King Olav bestowed the right of self-governance to Lundheim near the end of his life, and granted the title of Prince of Lundheim to his eldest son Harald, to be handed down to his own first-born sons as a royal appanage down to our time. Even though the planet was officially a territory of the Crown of Norway, the princes seldom visit, and the planet is de facto ruled by Royal Governors, elected from the citizens of Lundheim. Even so, the Norsk Romsenter, Norway’s primary space agency, responsible for maintaining the Crown’s colony’s security in-space, and was thus the counterpart of the Roscosmos, and it’s main competitor.

The early settlers were presented with the difficulties of Lundheim being a rather barren world, and with an emerging caste of pirates. In recent times, its population has gradually been rising, due to an improved infrastructure on the planet and its outlying space territory, and the connection of the world through the WWCEF.
