Chicomoztoc (Aztlan II), Barren-Desert World, Hegemony
| One of the first planets targeted for colonization in the Sector, Chicomoztoc was selected to become a center of industry, host to a nexus of huge nanoforges. Only a marginal terraforming candidate upon discovery, rapid early industry and later war has left the atmosphere choked with complex sulfur compounds, organics refining by-products, and a concerning but managable dusting of actinides. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
| The Enormous population of Chicomoztoc lives in underground arcologies run in turn by powerful demagogues - promising reform and jobs for the masses of unemployed - or members of the numerous competing technocrat/criminal patronage networks serving their home-hive coalition or, as often, whoever has bought them off. Hives are occasionally locked off by riots, protest, and insurrection but so long as the Forges are kept safe and churning out mountains of goods, machines, tools, and starship hulls, the Hegemony meddle little in domestic affairs. | ||

Coatl (Aztlan III-A), Barren-Bombarded World, Hegemony
| This barren moon of Tlalocan is wormed through with tunnels, bunkers, hangars, silos, and batteries; it forms a key Hegemony military base which controls the Aztlan system without being so close to Chicomoztoc as to get caught up in the local politics. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
