Canbera

Overview
Canbera is a planet in the Atman system. It is notable for its unusual habitation patterns; the bulk of Canbera's population inhabits the eastern hemisphere continent known as the mainland, which features a wide range of climates and geographical features as well as well-established nations and governmental infrastructure. The remainder of Canbera's population inhabits a continent on the western hemisphere continent known as the badlands. The badlands are largely uninhabited and are characterized by the lack of laws or a legal system.

History
Canbera was initially settled in 440NT by a civilian charter from Cieliso onboard the MAC Ever Forward. Landing on what would become the mainland, the settlers established primitive towns each designed to fulfill a role for the capital town, including mining, fishing, and farming. After Cielisian support was authorized in 441NT, the first cities Canberan cities began to sprout.

Formation of the badlands
The landmass which would become home to the badlands was initially settled by mainland explorers seeking to expand their territory. Very small outpost towns were set up across the continent, seeking approval for additional Cielisian support. However, when additional support arrived in 455NT, the shipment was raided by a heavily armed outlaw band, and the bulk of the materials never reached established towns, crippling development in the badlands. Following the raid, those capable of returning to the mainlands did so, viewing the expansion attempt failed and the land too dangerous to continue to inhabit.

Despite this, the remaining citizens of the badlands gradually established settlements capable of sustaining and defending themselves, though the badlands remained a lawless place.
