The Twelve Colonies

The Twelve Colonies was a federation of Arterian cities located on Polymede. A result of scientific migrations initiated by SpaceCorp, the colonies have over the centuries due to the great distance between them and their homeland (between 200 and 900 AU) evolved into a fully independent group, racially and culturally distinct from their homeland, which only the minority of those who landed ever saw. Officially, they were considered an autonomous asset of SpaceCorp, even though by the 7th century the mother company had little to no actual influence anymore here.
