Salvo is a planet that was formerly one of The Fringe Worlds, planets independent from the Syndicate and on the edge of The Outlands. It has recently come under the leadership of Sandringham Kelly, agreed for Salvo to become the seventh planet in Syndicate Space. The other six being Gaea, Psamathe, Solace, Talos, Boreas and Tartarus. It is the home planet of Fuse and Mad Maggie.
Before Syndicate rule, the planet was a constant warzone with warlords assuming control of the planet, only to be overthrown by another warlord, and so on. The planet seems to have been in a perpetual state of war for at least 50 years. At some point, Salvo was invaded by the IMC, with the corporation leaving behind several arms bunkers which continue to be raided by the warbands of Salvo. The matter of Salvo joining with the Mercenary Syndicate has been highly contentious among the populace, with a vast number of Salvonians violently resisting Kelly's rule and partnership.
Salvo's leadership often shifts between various warbands and warlords. Two of the most prominent of these are the Black Rattler, led by Kelly, and the Cracked Talon, led by Mad Maggie.
Salvo's culture heavily revolves around violence, freedom, and resistance. One key example of this lies in the Bonecage, a brutal free-for-all brawling competition that acts as the planet's most popular bloodsport. Salvonian culture additionally has a right of passage known as the Warrior Rites, where children become initiated as Salvonian fighters. It culminates in the Warrior's Feast, consisting of leviathan steak and couscous cakes.
Salvo's current leader is Sandringham Kelly, who gained power with the help of Cherisse Che.
The demonym for Salvo is "Salvonian."
