LEGACY
The planet of Legacy, covered in its entirety by the Jade Imperial Legacy Province, is the third most populous planet in the Jade Empire with a population of nearly five billion. A metropolitan territory that was originally uninhabited, it has grown into a major commercial, cultural and economic hub for the Jade Empire. Originally a Czechanadian territory, the Jade Empire leased a military research facility on the island of New Harvest, but after the collapse of Czechanada in 2441AT, de facto responsiblity for the planet fell to the Empire.
GEOGRAPHYA largely subtropical world, it is dominated in the east by the Skypeak District and to the west by the Morningstar Sea, a vast bay around which much of the planet's population is located. The New Harvest District to the south is more temperate in climate and is sparsely inhabited.
ECONOMYLegacy is primarily a tourism and trade hub. As well as attracting visitors to its beach resorts, secluded spas and mountain treks, the planet draws many biologists, zoologists and botanists for its rich and varied flora and fauna.
It boasts deposits of umi-tetsu and vitredeur, whilst New Harvest District has a significant crop output. |

HISTORY
First discovered by colonists of the Czechanadan Republic, Legacy had no extant sapient species. Czechanada established a small colony south of what is now the Bamboo Bay metropolitan area, and a small team of Jade Imperial botanists were allowed to set up an observatory in the Skypeak District. Following the collapse of Czechanada the Jade Empire seized control of the planet, overcoming the few remaining planetary militia and incorporating the territory into the Jade Empire proper. A concentrated development program, drawing volunteer colonists from across the Jade Empire, resulted in the emergence of the first truly cosmopolitan planet of the Jade Empire.
