Anacreon Capital

A fortress world where imperial ambition clashes with the inevitable tide of history.

Anacreon Capital is the seat of the Kingdom of Anacreon, one of the Four Kingdoms that broke away from the Galactic Empire during the collapse of the Periphery. Its role in the Foundation series is defined by its relentless expansionism and its position as the first true test of Hari Seldon's psychohistorical predictions against human ambition.
