Catraeth: Catraeth was one of those cities built after a world’s initial colonization and showed no signs of the ugly, prefabricated structures built by the Consortium for rapid settlement. Its buildings were all of white stone quarried from the mountains in whose last peak the city sheltered above the seemingly infinite expanse of grassland the natives called the Green Sea. In the distance, great shoals of rock upthrust from the flat landscape like islands and broke the perfect horizon beneath an eggshell sky.

Fort Din: built upon a network of bunkers that honeycombed the mountain beneath it for miles. They were built to withstand an orbital bombardment, designed for the days of interhouse warfare and rebellious lords, intended to shelter the fort’s staff for months and even years using starship-grade life support, hydroponics, and doubtless the planet’s plentiful supply of protein-base from the bromos crop; overlooks the city of Catraeth; The southern spur of Fort Din stood farthest from the city, looking out upon the Green Sea and the ruddy buttes rising from it. The wind off the mountains smelled of rain and tugged at the dry branches of those few trees the Legion permitted to grow within the fort. The barracks themselves were an ugly, L-shaped building of steel and cement white-washed and flat-roofed, bristling with antennae and comms equipment. The yard between the two arms of that building had been rolled flat in construction, and was barren but for the stray weeds. Catellan: SIR AMALRIC OSMAN

Grand Bazaar: large marketplace visited by the Imperial Red Company during their first visit to Gododdin in ISD 16523.

The Green Sea: a seemingly infinite expanse of verdant grassland beneath the mountain outside the city of Catraeth on Gododdin. Filled with rising buttes and oat fields where bromos livestock are raised.
