==History==
===Years & Seasons===
The moon takes roughly two [[Terra]]n years to orbit Paragon VI. Due to the fact that Paragon is a moon orbiting a [[gas giant]], its orbital path results in an unusual progression of local seasons.{{Fn|1i}}
For 23 months, Paragon is hidden from its sun by its parent planet, resulting in a '''Long Winter'''. After this eclipse is over, warmth returns to Paragon with the '''Glory Seasons''', known as '''Growth''', '''Little Summer''', '''Second Growth''', '''Little Fall''' and '''Little Winter'''. The Glory repeats once before Paragon is plunged into the cold of the Long Winter once more. Technically Long Winter is made up of five individual seasons, but most Paragonians don't bother differentiating them.{{Fn|1i}}
Beneath the Clans are a number of lower classes.{{Fn|1a}} Unlike some other Imperial worlds, these lower classes are still pure [[human]]s; [[mutant]]s on Paragon are rounded up and incinerated.{{Fn|1b}}
The ruler of Paragon is also the ruler of the planet Paragon VI, and is styled as the [[Imperial Commander|Planetary Commander]]. Known commanders include [[Gondanick Lo Materiak]], who ruled Paragon in the late 300'''395s.[[M41]]'''.{{Fn|1a}}
Paragon is among those Imperial worlds where duelling is allowed under certain circumstances, the exact details of which are given in the Paragonian constitution. Duels are permitted between any two men of equal rank as long as the man who issues the challenge has a valid licence (which must be ratified by at least two members of recognised enforcement agencies); if the challenge is accepted then, regardless of the duel's outcome, neither participant will face any legal consequences.{{Fn|1h}}
