Amazonia is a feudal world, located in the heart of the Jericho Sector. Or is it? It doesn't appear on any star charts, it's location a well-kept secret known only to Barotta and a few select navigators. It could be anywhere, really. Well, not anywhere, but somewhere close but not necessarily in the sector.
The planet is as verdant as it is rich in minerals, not quite the paradise that Carmyn is, but well within the parameter of the garden world. The planet is ruled by fierce tribes of female warriors who compete with the dangerous fauna (see the Gene-which entry) and each other at every turn. The greatest warriors are invited to dine with the gods in their hallowed halls and often return pregnant.
From the ranks of these demi-god children rise the finest champions Amazonia has to offer. If they show promise, they will be invited while still in adolescence, not to dine with the gods, but to dwell among them, to wage war in their name, out between the stars.
In addition to the 2nd Legion's recruiting grounds, there are several hidden complexes, located in remote and inaccessible places, where the Gene-witch and others labor for the Legion. The tribes know nothing of these places.
Amazonia has long had three small moons. Recently, a fourth moon, the Dragon Moon, started circling the planet. Since its arrival, the gods have walked in mortal lands on several occasions, and the number of girls putting on the mantle of the star-warriors has increased ten-fold.
