Gazetteer : Quichotte

Quichotte (OI-0109, E576667-6) was colonised from Amondiage at the tail end of that world’s great period of exploration. The harsh conditions on Quichotte held back development for centuries. The world voluntarily became a province of the Empire of Joyeuse during the height of the popularity of that world’s first, charismatic Emperor - Georges Pallois. Despite huge inward investment, Quichotte remains a poor backwater.
