Located in the Trellshire province of the Tamar Pact. Second world orbiting a Sol-like G0V world, Waldorff is very earthlike in all key parameters, such as gravity, atmospheric composition, temperature, axial tilt, and surface water. There is one moon, Nikolai, which ensures Waldorff has Earth-like tides and a stable axial tilt. Humans can live comfortably on the surface without protective gear. Planet has some native plant life, but all higher life-forms have been imported or geneered from Terran stock.

Time-to-jump is about 10.5 days at 1G burn. On paper it’s ruled by a Baron, currently one Wilhelm Truder, but in reality Commonwealth trading guilds run the place. Current population is approximately three quarters of a billion. The planet isn’t prosperous, but is sufficiently developed to support major urban centers, some local industry and interstellar trade. ComStar maintains a Class B facility on a small island just outside the capital.

Waldorff was chosen as a garrison planet for the Lancers (specifically for Princess’ battalion, but also a forward operating base for the Katanas). Later upgrade as a regimental base, with additional support from Steiner units.
