[3056] Colonial Resources, the Hegemony department assigned to arrange and coordinate expeditions to new
worlds, made the planet seem enticing. It told of chemical and metal resources, fertile soils, and deep seas. Many
men and women, lured by the glowing reports, lined up to join expeditions to Bryant. What had gone
unmentioned in the accounts was that Bryant had a harsh climate that lashed most of the planet's surface with
storms and winds approaching 300 kilometers per hour. For the first two centuries, colonization was confined to
the planet's polar regions, where the men and women lived a cold, quiet existence.
In 2478, the Terran Hegemony put the first Storm Inhibitor into geosynchronous orbit around Bryant. The Storm
Inhibitor is a reflector that is aimed at clouds gathering above a planet's oceans. The concentrated heat on the
clouds did not prevent storms but lessened their severity. The change in the weather soon allowed colonists to
begin settling the temperate regions of the planet.
Once the colonists could begin farming the warmer lands, Bryant became an important agricultural center for the
Hegemony. Many of the planet's indigenous life forms, such as the Crowley Lizard Cow and the Jewel Bass,
became delicacies. Tourism became important to Bryant's economy because of the planet's many beaches.
Then came the forces of Stefan Amaris. Republican pilots used the Storm Inhibitors for target practice. The
remaining Inhibitors became the final strongholds for the SLDF. The soldiers died like insects beneath a
magnifying glass. With the Storm Inhibitors gone, the planet's climate has once again become stormy. The
populace was driven back to the calmer Polar Regions once more, leaving behind entire Star League-era cities,
rumored to still contain the treasures of mankind's Golden Age, even today.
The Capellan Confederation, which inherited Bryant after the Star League's fall, used it as a prison planet for a
few decades before the Federated Suns took the world in the Fourth Succession War. The Federated
Commonwealth in turn had little use for Bryant, and invested only token moneys in its subsistence-level economy.
Today, Bryant's population remains confined to the polar continents of Altario in the north and Zephyrim in the
south, which is also home to the planetary capital of Brein. The larger landmasses of Voltanasia and Tomainisia,
which both cross the equatorial region of Bryant, are home now only to empty Star League-era cities, former
Capellan maximum-security prisons, and the planet's hardier native flora and fauna.
[3056] When Liao and Marik forces invaded the Sarna March, they bypassed Bryant for more tempting targets.
Taking advantage of the breakdown of what little authority existed, a local warlord calling himself Viscount
Dvensky has claimed Bryant as his personal fiefdom. Anticipating a Liao attack, the self-styled Viscount appealed
to the Victor Steiner-Davion of the Federated Commonwealth for military support, but none was forthcoming.
Dvensky has since declared Bryant independent, and apparently supports his government - such as it is - by
sending bands of fighters loyal to him on supply raids against the nearby planets of New Home and Epsilon Indi.
These so-called Bryant Regulars has been alarmingly successful, prompting calls for action against them from
various quarters. According to rumor, Viscount Dvensky is secretly raising an army to capture Epsilon Indi or
New Home, or possibly both. As yet, no one can confirm the truth of these rumors.
In the past few months, Bryant has attracted increasing numbers of explorers and treasure hunters searching for
Star League relics that may still exist in the numerous abandoned cities across the planet.
[3132] A world of violent storms, first colonized in the twenty-second century by the Terran Hegemony to exploit
its chemical and mechanical resources, fertile soils, and deep seas, Bryant’s early colonists kept close to the polar
regions, where the weather was calmer. In the days of the Star League, a series of storm inhibitors were used to
negate much of the fury of severe weather systems by focusing solar radiation on the storms as they gathered over
the planet’s oceans. This innovation made possible the colonization of Bryant’s lower latitudes, but during the
Amaris crisis and the Succession Wars most of these storm inhibitors were destroyed. The populace was driven
back to the calmer Polar Regions once more, leaving behind entire Star League-era cities, rumored to still contain
the treasures of mankind’s Golden Age, even today. The Capellan Confederation, which inherited Bryant after
the League’s fall, used it as a prison planet for a few decades before the Federated Suns took the world in the
Fourth Succession War.
During the Jihad, the Word of Blake used Bryant as a staging ground for strikes against nearby worlds, using
some of the more marginal settlements on the edges of the stormy zones for their on-planet outposts.

[3132] Bryant was originally part of the Word of Blake until the creation of The Republic. Bryant became part of
Prefecture X under the control of The Republic. After the fall of the HPG Network Fortress Republic was
created and many of the worlds under its control were set free.
[3135] Bryant remained part of The Republic and is now under its protection, inside the Fortress Republic.
