Sojourn (Planet 0403)

Sojourn (TL 3)
An English prison colony, currently home to 240,000 souls, and suitable for dense colonization due to a breathable atmosphere and temperate climate. But, due to it’s central location, the English prefer to use it as part of their penal system, and in turn, run the biggest private prison operation in the sector, and does so in accordance with the Terran Mandate. The Queen’s Navy sentences criminals to spend some time in one of the many orbital prisons around Sojourn, but for those unlucky enough to receive a life sentence, they are shot down to the surface, abandoned and left to fend for themselves with the rest. Orbital cannons and a small navy prevent all but the most daring escape missions from succeeding. Rumors of organized deathmatches for a high-paying audience have been surfacing recently, glamorized by the entertainment industry of Yoshikawa.
