Utopia is another colony Earth has recently reconnected and allied with. While isolated, the surface of their world was destroyed by terrible weapons. The population huddled in bunkers which have now expanded into deep cities.
To keep fighting but avoid human losses, Utopia developed advanced automaton weapons that don't require human pilots. The N-KIDU is the most common of these, typically fielded in units led by a human in an Armiger — Utopia's high-tech Gears.

#TerraNovaThursdays belated 30th anniversary. Scans of my copy of #HeavyGear #IntoTheBadlands, published March, 1996.
The 'Badlands' are the equatorial desert region of Terra Nova. Caught between polar superpowers, the badlands are a likely location for conflict and intrigue.
This supplement had a lot of great tidbits and potential plot hooks strewn throughout and continued to flesh out Terra Nova as a living, breathing world.
Ex-RPGNet Review: Heavy Gear – Blueprint File
Another belated 30th anniversary:
Scans of my copy of Heavy Gear: Life on Terra Nova, published January, 1996. This is the book that made me fall in love with Heavy Gear. The art and setting details just sucked me in and has kept me a Heavy Gear fan for 30 years.

The CEF brought allies along on their invasion of Terra Nova; foremost among them was Caprice. Not all Capricians support the CEF. Some, known as the Liberati, resist Corporate Caprice and their CEF allies.
Everyone on Caprice lives in a massive canyon called the Cat's Eye Trench. Due to it's hostile terrain, Caprice has developed spider-like Mounts as their main combat vehicle.

Thank you for the kind words. I enjoy painting, but don’t consider myself even “display quality” but I do try!
I do some work for Dream Pod 9 (the publisher of #heavygear) but it’s keeping their web presence up, not painting or design.
Finally done building all the Heavy Gear Blitz models I had. It took a few years but I did it! 🥳
Painting is probably gonna take priority again for a bit but I have a few other things to build in the back log yet.
