What setting/genre name would you call Cyrano, the home setting of Iconic Character Haut-Cornet Louis d’Antares?

I think of it as a Sword and Planet setting.

Planetary Romance is how I'd list it, though the Sword-and-Planet mentioned earlier would fall under that genre.
Seems it'd fit a number of related genres.

Re: Iconic Character Haut-Cornet Louis d’Antares Home Setting/Genre
Note that this worldline is written up in
http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/lostworlds/ Cyrano only gets a couple of pages and an "official" genre name is not provided. Something like "Crystalpunk Swashbuckler" might hit the high spots though. I judge it to be closer to traditional swashbucklers that Sword and Planet or Planetary Romance. Both of those tend to be sub-genres of Portal Fantasy structure-wise and while all of the Infinite Worlds "could" be sed for Portal Fantasy that's not inherent.
