Atashia is the capital world of the Markian Pact, where representatives of all the Pact worlds meet to discuss the weighty matters of cultural exchange, foreign policy, and mutual defence.  Though inferior to Ghalhal in production, it is the industrial center of the Markian Pact proper.  The Atashia-Pattern lasgun is produced here, along with the Markian Corps' testudos, centaurs, and sniper mantlets. Atashia is a temperate world, much like a youthful Terra with a slightly lower global temperature and a smaller tropical area. At the end of the Age of Strife, Atashia was the birthplace of the Markians' ideals of rationalism and optimism, and the world remains the center of the Markian enlightenment. What Atashia is most famous for, however, is its Imperial Army forces, which are the most numerous among the Markian Corps and includes line infantry, mechanized, armored, and artillery formations.
