Galactic Gazetteer

The Galactic Gazetteer is a listing of planets and other major locations in the setting and the changes they have experienced in the current setting (if any).

B

 * Bespin


 * Region: Outer Rim
 * Climate: None
 * Gravity: None
 * Moons: 2
 * Government: Guild
 * Capital: Cloud City Space Station
 * Major Exports:Tibanna gas, Cloud Cars
 * Major Imports:Foodstuffs, Technology

After the Force War, the Republic and Empire both were struggling to reclaim their territories and trying to rebuild their respective fleets. To this end, the Republic tried to increase their supply of tibanna gas reserves. Several scientists gathered and developed a chemical compound they introduced into Bespin's atmosphere which was supposed to cause the tibanna gas to multiply, however, the compound was sabotaged by an Imperial agent that caused Bespin to explode. The aftermath of this event formed the Bespin Nebula.

The nebula was full of tibanna gas, and as a result, Cloud City was refitted into a space station and used to gather and refine the gas for export to paying customers.

Once a planet full of a proud race, now reduced to a husk that can barely support life. During the Force War, the Bothans proved themselves a heroic race and used all their skill and cunning to deliver some of the most damaging intelligence to the Republic and Jedi against the Sith. As a result of this, and their own fighting prowess, they were able to strike many major blows against the Sith. In retaliation, the Sith struck back hard against the Bothans. The greatest of the Sith's geomancers attacked the planet, and using their most powerful relics to fuel their actions, they split the planet's surface wide open, flooding the planet with lava.

The planet was rendered nearly uninhabitable, the atmosphere choked with poisonous fumes and clouds of ash, life on the planet became nearly impossible. But the Bothans are a proud race, and despite this blow to their planet, they still try to survive on it and work to one day restoring it to it's former glory. The fallout of this also resulted in the Bothan Spynet being broken. It is a shadow of it's former self and on a far smaller scale than it once was.

Notable Locations:

The Planes of Ash - Where once teemed plant and wildlife flourished, now only gray ash remains.

The Great Rift - The great split in the planet's crust where lava flows run freely. Gushing lava spews forth and ash of belched into the sky, most people avoid being too close to this due to the health hazards posed by it's presence.

H

 * Hoth


 * Region: Outer Rim
 * Climate: Frozen
 * Gravity: Heavy (1.1 standard)
 * Moons: 3
 * Length of Day: 23 standard hours
 * Length of Year: 549 local days
 * Sapient Species: Skels (native), human
 * Major Exports: None
 * Major Imports: None

A world of ice located on the edges of the galaxy, Hoth is a place that while unimportant, has had some major significance. During the Force War, members of the Sith Order used the planet as a base of operations. They constructed a large temple on the planet made of Force enhanced Obsidian. Here they used it to plan their tactics and stage sieges on the Outer Rim. The place became so potent with the Dark Side of the Force it became a Force Nexus and was used to amplify the Siths' power. During the course of the war, the Jedi and Republic stages a massive attack on Hoth, managing to obliterate the temple and the Sith on the planet's surface.

Though the surface area with the temple was destroyed, the underground levels were intact, if heavily damaged, and over the years have become ruins that adventurers like to explore from time to time, though it is often said that those who enter rarely return.

M

 * Mon Calamari
 * Region: Outer Rim
 * Climate: Temperate
 * Gravity: Standard
 * Moons: 3
 * Length of Day: 21 standard hours
 * Length of Year: 398 local days
 * Sapient Species: 45% Mon Calamari (native), 37% Quarren (native), 18% other species
 * Government: Representative Council
 * Capital: New Tide City
 * Major Exports: Warships, weapons
 * Major Imports: Foodstuffs, medical supplies, technology

Once a planet that was peaceful and beautiful, now a world bitter and twisted. During the Force War, the Sith, in an effort to remove as many sources of support for the Jedi and Republic, targeted Mon Calamari. To kill as many as possible on the planet, the Sith used all their might and cause a great rift in the surface of the planet, exposing the oceans to vast amounts of magma from deep in the planet's crust. This caused a great heating of the oceans, which killed many who lived in the oceans. To finish off the rest, the Sith introduced an extremely vicious and aggressive toxin into the waters, which has poisoned the oceans of Mon Calamari to this day.

The toxic oceans poisoned the land masses, killing all life on land and in the vast oceans, leaving the planet near lifeless. Only the floating dome cities survived due to their artificial construction. The Mon Calamari and Quarren blame the other for the devastation of their planet, as such, they have unending blood feuds between the two races. Constant civil wars between the two races have made it difficult for other races to visit the world. The Company steps in from time to time to put a halt to the fighting when it interferes with the production of warships for it's fleets.

N

 * Naboo
 * Region: Mid Rim
 * Climate: Temperate
 * Gravity: Standard
 * Moons: 3
 * Length of Day: 26 Standard hours
 * Length of Year: 312 local days
 * Sapient Species: 60% Gungans (native), 37% human, 3% other species
 * Government: Democratic monarchy (human), Council (Gungan)
 * Capitals: New Theed (Human), Otoh Gunga (Gungan)
 * Major Exports: Medium Class Transports, building materials, technology
 * Major Imports: Grain, food stuffs, medical supplies


 * NOTE: Naboo serves as the main RP location to the chat.

Where once there was a planet dedicated to peace and pursuit of the arts and the preservation of it's natural beauty, now is a shadow of it's former self. During the final years of the Force War, Naboo was stage to a brutal series of battles between the Sith and Jedi Orders. The Sith attempted to use the abundant life to empower their war machines. The battle took a tool on the planet, wiping out large swathes of life. Leaving them a wasteland to this day. Theed was badly damaged in the battle, the royal palace being partly destroyed in the final battle with the lead Sith warrior on the planet.

Modern day Naboo is a much more muted in it's attitude to the galaxy. Because of their lack of major exports that were in demand, the economy of Naboo was hit hard. The focus changed from the arts to shipbuilding in order to bring in larger amounts of credits needed to help in the rebuilding of the damaged areas of the planet. The ruling monarchy after the war moved the capital of Naboo from Theed to the newly constructed New Theed, a city that had far less artistic styling to it and more utilitarian design as fitting the planet's bleaker outlook.

The monarchy of the planet also has a closed view to the galaxy, not willing to let refugees find a haven on the planet like in ages past. The planet also has suffered raids from the Mandalorian tribes and small civil wars with neighboring systems.

New Theed serves as the central hub of the planet, a sprawling city with spaceports and cantinas. It has a marketplace for one looking to obtain legal and less than legal items. Corporate Soldiers can be seen patrolling and keeping the peace, along with their slaver operatives buying and selling the latest stock on the market.

Notable Locations:

New Theed - The capital city of Naboo. A sprawling city full of life. It lacks the artistic style and natural beauty of Theed and has a more utilitarian design. The lower areas of the city are gritty and rough, while the upper levels show a hint of the artistic soul of the Naboo, but like the rest of the planet, it is a bleak art style and muted compared to the old artwork. The city is divided into several districts that serve different purposes, from a marketplace district to a spaceport district, to the central governing district.

The Spiced Bantha - A notable cantina in the spaceport district. It keeps the pilots and passengers waiting to depart content with a steady supply of drinks and gambling.

The Wastelands - Several locations around the planet that are barren and devoid of any life. Nothing more than deserts that suffer from high winds and harsh temperatures.

T

 * Tatooine
 * Region: Outer Rim
 * Climate: Arid
 * Gravity: Standard
 * Moons: 3
 * Length of Day: 23 standard hours
 * Length of Year: 304 local days
 * Sapient Species: 65% Human, 8 Jawa (Native), 7% Tusken Raider (native), 20% other species
 * Government: Local criminal syndicates
 * Capital: Bestine
 * Major Exports: Illegal weapons, minerals, narcotics
 * Major Imports: Foodstuffs, medicine, technology

Tatooine, a backwater desert world that has been at the far reaches of the galaxy and usually considered to be a worthless hunk of rock. It was relatively ignored for the longest time until the Force War when a group of Sith attempted to stage an assault on a group of Jedi on the planet. This battle was brutal but short, the final result was a massive explosion that destroyed Mos Eisley and glassed over a large part of the Dune Sea.

After this, the planet once again faded into obscurity, again falling prey to criminal powers that wished to use it for their own gains. Local criminal syndicates currently run the planet while larger powers have yet to take interest in the planet. Though it is a planet of little importance, there is a small garrison of troopers from The Company that patrol the planet and keep things in a relatively stable state.

Notable Locations:

The Glass Sea - A large section of the Dune Sea and Mos Eisley that was wiped out in a massive explosion by the Sith in an attempt to kill the Jedi on the planet. The result was the Glass sea. The heat generated by this section is so intense that it is regarded as a hazard and avoided by all.
