Etymology: Novum Dolorum is an Earth Latin name that in Standard Galactic means “New Sorrow”.
In order to regain their technological advantage (for military purposes), the Illyrians promoted a plan to boost their level of technology by creating new scientific and research settlements governed by oppressive hive control systems, of which the greatest successes and more renowned has been the Scientific Colony of Novum Dolorum. An extensive metropolitan network that covers a large portion of the surface of the planet counts with a huge scientist population whose real numbers are not provided by the Illyriam authorities, but are estimated above half a million of scientist and researchers.
Novum Dolorum, besides a cradle of Illyrian knowledge, is a prodigy of urban architecture in which all styles of the different periods of the Hegemony are superimposed, enjoying an impeccable state of preservation.
Taking advantage of the importance of the scientific colony and its important technological development, the House Romulus has established control of the economic and financial forum, generating a frenetic economic activity that together with the high intellectual interest of the settlement.
Security
They Security Forces play a double role, firstly they are guarantors of the security of the scientific community as well as the rest of the citizens and watch over Cyberdefense, frustrating thousands of attacks by hackers against the databases of the research centers. But also, they are the jailers of scientists, who watch closely to prevent the flight of some of their more privileged minds as well as the secretive projects that in Novum are developed.
The Scientist Community
The Novum Dolorum industry was the first one developing plasma weapons and fire focused battle mechs. The Novum greatest produced mechs are:
Head of Technology Research
The Illyrian Hegemony has been for a long time one of the leading technology major powers throughout the galaxy, but because of a martial caste system in which the military elite has relegated its brightest scientists to the background, Offering a poor recognition to the scientists, as because the many wars Sustained throughout its wide domains, the Hegemony began to stagnate. So both the Shogunate and the Cogwerk Planets Society began to overcome the Hegemony in the field of Research and Development.

Architecture
Novum Dolorum, besides a cradle of Illyrian knowledge, is a prodigy of urban architecture in which all styles of the different periods of the Hegemony are superimposed, enjoying an impeccable state of preservation.
It is possible to emphasize the Forum of the illustrious Warriors, as well as the Capitoline District in which all the main Houses of the Hegemony enjoy palaces of great beauty.
Economy

The Commander Tory is the Chief of Security and the Program Director for all Mech Development and Research Projects, assisted by the House Sectorum.
The Scientist Community
Despite being the leading research center of the Hegemony, with an immense complex of scientific research facilities and technological development, both for military purposes, the researchers themselves are prisoners of a repressive system, subjected to an obsessive control in which are squeezed to the last drop of their capacity. Here, scientists live in cells deprived of luxuries or distractions, always supervised by the military in a quasi-prison system where they have little time to devote to their own lives, dedicated to the research and development of new and deadly inventions with which supply the arsenal of hegemony in prolonged working days, supplying their rest by means of drugs and stimulants.
Although the life of a scientist in Novun Dolorun is little less than a hell in which they are stripped of their individual egos and conditioned to an existence of worker ants, the possibility of participating in some of the most advanced research centers in the entire galaxy Seems to be more than enough stimulus for most of them.
A saying of Novum Dolorum says that without sacrifice there is no learning, a precept that some guards apply strictly to the investigators and to the last consequences.
Mech manufacture
The Novum Dolorum industry was the first one developing plasma weapons and fire focused battle mechs. The Novum greatest produced mechs are:
- Cindron. First heavy mech developed in the latest 3100s.
- Inferno. A heavy mech created as a mastered evolution of Cindron in 3266.
- Notos. This BFM released in 3312 became an incarnation of plasma ignition and stands as one of the most feared mechs in the Galaxy.
