Business is Booming

On the island once known as Cuba in Berengar's life, the colony of Lindstadt was booming with business. A large stone fort was erected on the coast, which housed the Mercenaries of the Gunther Merchant company. These men acted as the primary security force in the region. 

Outside of this star fortress was a fully developed town which consisted of roughly 3,000 German residents. This town was the Colony of Lindstadt, which had formed in the months since the Gunther Merchant Company first arrived in this part of the world. Coincidentally, this town was built in the same location that Havana was built in the Kaiser's past life. 

Beyond the borders of the township were vast plantations which utilized the native population of the island as its laborers. These plantations were the Gunther Merchant Companys' newest enterprise, and would soon produce vast yields of Coffee Beans, Sugar Cane, and Cotton.
