Touring the Stars: Wynn's Roost
While the Outworlds Alliance shrunk on ComStar's maps for two hundred years¸ not all of disappearing worlds died. The "Outworlds Wastes" also included secessionists¸ would-be pocket imperial capitals¸ abandoned worlds¸ pirate havens¸ pirates' victims¸ and imagined sanctuaries from the bloody Succession Wars. Wynn's Roost was one such world¸ alternately seceding from the defenseless Outworlds¸ attempting to build an interstellar nation¸ being abandoned by collapsing civilization¸ and suffering pirates' depredations. The sulfurous world has outlasted its pirate tormentors¸ rebuilt its industrial base¸ and hosts a growing population that is now reaching out to the stars. It is a glimpse of the potential of the modern Periphery.
