Praesidium
Segmentum: Segmentum Pacificus
Sector: Terminus Princeps
System: Fertafas
Affiliation: Unbound Empire
Class: Lesser Fortress World
Praesidium is the home of the Praesidium Steel Bloods and acts as the battered bulwark which protects the Unbound Empire, and previously the local region.
The world was once said to have held the same beauty held by the Terran region of Albyon long before the ruin brought from technological misuse. For the fringe world, its beauty was lost at the hands of external threats who conquered the worlds instead of being from internal strife.
Remnants of this lost beauty is still carried in the hearts of the local population which utilises the limited artistic population to ensure its perpetuation.
Geography
The current lands of Praesidia are a battered and cracked world, with any mass of floral life subsisting within the borders of the eastern continent of Aeanryr. If not for the possibilities to import mass items of food stuffs, and the limited cultivation chambers within the confines of the Fortresses, there would likely be more
Fungal life however has dominated the Ddaearig lands. Orkoid hoards roam the region seeking to better empower themselves while salvaging what little they can from other clans. If not for being waterlocked, far more extensive actions would be needed to prevent this infestation to no require
Contrasting the other two landmasses, Dwyn Taearw is a dead land resembling an amalgamation of an asteroid and a mesa. It is a large region of limited life and trying terrain to those unprepared. While populations are kept to the coastlines it has become an ideal trial zone for physical trials of Praesidium recruits. The Yeomen officers particularly make extensive use of the region for survival training. 
Small islands do dot the remaining ocean but the extremely limited aquatic life makes them more used as areas for training in aquatic tactics rather than acting as a fishing port or center of trade.
Population Centers Classifications
Hamlet
A Hamlet’s closest comparison to the population zones of Imperial worlds would be those of larger villages or small cities. They are self sufficent and often have a close connection with the Keeps within proximity.
Beyond their use as inactive duty garrisons with Steel Blood formations pending reorganisation, reinforcement or otherwise awaiting external action, the regions hold no defencive or tactical advantage beyond their limited resource advantage to a holder. 
Keeps
The ‘hives’ of Praesidium, these are dense population regions with a powerful manufacturing core for local sustainability. It is extremely common for regiments to be assigned to Keeps to act as the specialist enforcers along side more local law enforcement. 
Keeps are often considered the superior to the Hives of other worlds, having a greater defensive potential beyond their extensive voidshields and mere bulk. 
Fortresses
Towering monoliths of architectural and industrial might, and perpetual reminders of the world’s ‘liberators’. Where the Keeps are self sustainable in times of peace, it is suspected that the Fortresses are able to remain self sufficient for up to a decade during a siege despite having only access to the surface and upper crust level constructions. 
Unlike the Keeps and Hamlets, who can reach double or triple digits when tallied together, there are only eight fortresses along the surface of Praesidium. All upper levels are swamped with constant motion and work of both civilian and military personnel.
