Balecaster

Balecaster is a feudal world located in the Markyn Marches of the Calixis Sector. It is currently at a pre-black powder level
of technology. The planet has three continents, only two of which are inhabited. The central continent is dominated by a
single kingdom, ruled by the ageing King Regent, Tileon. The Regent has governed for many years, well over his natural
lifespan, which continues to cause much contention among the nobles, including Tileon’s son (who has spent seventy years
patiently waiting to take the throne). Rumors persist that the king has been using off-world technology to prolong his
life, though this is strongly denied by those closest to him.
In spite of whispered plans of treason or rumors about the king’s son mustering an army to take the throne by force,
nothing has yet happened because of the Star Sanctum. 
==Unique Equipment==
Flick Bow
Class: Pistol (Primitive)
A flick bow is a compact version of the hand bow and is a
popular sidearm for coachmen, ladies of negotiable affection
and criminal gangs on many medieval worlds, although
the finest crafted examples are made by the artisans of
Balecaster. Constructed so that its span folds inwards for easy
concealment, a flick bow can be hidden in a boot, muffler or
sleeve for use in unexpected and unpleasant situations.
Before firing this weapon, you must spend a Half Action to
“lock” the bow.
Pistol, 15m, S/–/–, 1d10, R, PEN 0, Clip 1, RLD Full, Primitive, Special, Two-Handed, WT 1kg, Cost 30, Scarce
Spetum
Class: Melee (Primitive)
A spetum is a pole-arm equipped with three single-edged
prongs on the “business” end. Most commonly found on
Balecaster, it serves as a ceremonial weapon by the Inner
Guard of the Star Sanctum. Although the opportunity to use
these weapons in combat is somewhat rare, the warriors who
form the Inner Guard are highly trained in its use, having
spent countless hours honing their technique to achieve
complete mastery.
