Douglass (Reavers' Deep 1617) and two neighboring systems
(Pentland (Reavers'
Deep 1616) and Lanark (Reavers' Deep 1518)) is a semi-independent Grand Duchy
with close hereditary, political and economic ties with the Principality of
Caledon. It exercises a fair degree
of independence, however – much more so than systems directly under
Principality control.
