TarisCurrent Control: Republic Taris is a post-apocalyptic swamp, abandoned but not forgotten by the greater galaxy for three centuries. Until recently, only overgrown ruins bore testimony to the thriving civilization that once dominated the surface – a civilization annihilated by the Sith Lord Darth Malak while seeking to eliminate the Jedi Knight Bastila Shan. As a symbol of hope and redemption in the face of Sith atrocities, the Republic has begun an unlikely effort to re-colonize Taris, establishing a spaceport, military base and the beginning of settlements amid the ruins. The remnants of the once great city-world have proven to be far more treacherous than anyone expected, though, and many believe the effort to reclaim Taris is doomed to end in disaster. One thing is certain – cleaning up what the Sith destroyed isn’t nearly as perilous as facing what they didn’t. Deep in the dark swampy ruins lies the legacy of a centuries old plague, once confined to Taris’ demolished Undercity. Bands of horrific rakghouls – abominations created by Sith alchemy – ravage the planet’s surface. Each vicious attack carries the chance of transforming the victim into a diseased monstrosity. There are scattered reports that some of these rakghouls are evolving bizarre, freakish powers. Determined to overcome the challenges, Republic and Jedi leaders are moving forward with the efforts at colonization. Rebuilding what the Sith destroyed 300 years ago would be a monumental symbolic victory, showing the galaxy that the Sith are not to be feared. But the Empire has no intention of allowing such a significant achievement. Region: Outer Rim Territories Sector: Ojoster sector System: Taris system Rotation period: 24 standard hours Climate: Temperate Primary terrain: * Urban sprawl * Oceans Creatures * Feathered dog * Human * Rakghoul * Tarisian kelp

DantooineCurrent Control: Republic During the Old Sith Wars, the Galactic Republic began a full-scale colonization campaign on Dantooine. While the Republic by itself had virtually no military on the planet, the settlers were protected by the Jedi Order. By at least 3,997 BBY, a Jedi training enclave was established by Master Vodo-Siosk Baas, although ruins of an even older Jedi structure could be found on the planet. Many great Jedi of the Great Sith War were trained on Dantooine. However, the Enclave on Dantooine was infamous for the number of its students who eventually fell to the dark side; among them were some of the greatest enemies of the Republic during that unstable period, such as Exar Kun, Revan, and Malak. Forty years later, in 3,956 BBY, the leading instructors at the Dantooine Jedi Enclave were Masters Vrook Lamar, Zhar, Vandar Tokare, and Dorak. When Bastila Shan brought a mentally dead Revan before the Dantooine council, they decided to give Revan another chance to redeem himself. Revan was trained there for a second time. Just weeks after Revan completed his new training, the Enclave, along with many of Dantooine's other settlements, was destroyed by Darth Malak, who was obsessed with finding Revan and Bastila (Malak also took special care to bombard the ancient Rakatan temple to preserve the Star Forge's secrecy, but by then it was too late). This attack sent the Dantooine farming community into decay, as the Republic, weakened by the war, could not offer its support to the remote world. Until the collapse of the Sith Empire a year later, Dantooine was occupied by the Sith, who executed almost all local leaders. From 3,956 to 3,951 BBY, the settlers, led by Administrator Terena Adare, began to rebuild their community by constructing the outpost of Khoonda. By then, Dantooine was populated by mercenaries and salvagers, the latter trying to make a living by finding Jedi relics from the ruined Enclave and selling them. In 3,951 BBY, the Republic nearly lost Dantooine to the Exchange, which planned to use the world as an outpost in the Outer Rim Territories. Exchange mercenaries under the leadership of Azkul, who where supported by Czerka Arms under the leadership of Jana Lorso, made trouble for the settlers, eventually culminating in the Battle of Dantooine. Thanks to the efforts of Master Vrook and the Jedi Exile, the meager Khoonda militia prevailed over Azkul's mercenaries and subsequently exiled the Exchange and Czerka Arms from the planet, and Dantooine remained in the Republic. The Republic eventually sent some of its forces to protect the battered planet. After the battle, the Enclave was rebuilt and briefly became the residence of the reformed Jedi Council (Master Vrook, Master Kavar, and Master Zez-Kai Ell), but it was abandoned shortly after, when the Council members were killed by Darth Traya. Buried beneath the deserted Enclave was a hidden facility in which the ancient Jedi Knights carried on mysterious cloning experiments. Region: Outer Rim Territories Sector: Raioballo sector System: Dantooine system Rotation period: 25 standard hours Climate: Temperate Primary terrain * Ocean * Savanna * Mountain * Grasslands Points of interest * Jedi Enclave * Dantooine Dungeon * Khoonda plains * Rakatan Ruins * Matale estate * Sandral estate * Crystal Cave * Dantooine base Creatures * Dantari (endangered) * Stalker lizard * Brith * Kath hound * Iriaz * Graul Government * Oligarchy Major cities * Garang (capital) * Khoonda

TatooineCurrent Control: Hutts Far in the Outer Rim, the sands of Tatooine bake beneath the glare of two bright suns. Small pockets of barely civilized communities dot the desolate landscape, surrounded by the endless expanse of barren dunes and rocky canyons that have silently slain so many of those who ventured out into the desert. Among the small shantytowns and settlements that persist, travelers may find shelter from the brutal climate, but trust is as rare as water on this lawless world. Visitors and locals alike must constantly watch their backs in Tatooine’s townships. For centuries, Tatooine was of little interest to the rest of the galaxy – until the Czerka Corporation showed up five hundred years ago, seeking to exploit the natural resources they believed were beneath Tatooine’s surface. Czerka’s efforts to mine Tatooine ended in failure, but the planet’s hostile environment proved to be the perfect place for Czerka’s Secret Weapons division. Able to operate with no restrictions, Czerka brought alien technologies and experiments too horrible or dangerous to be allowed on any other system in the galaxy. While the full scope of how far Czerka went with their research remains unknown, it’s clear that suddenly, and without warning, Czerka completely pulled out of Tatooine, leaving their Secret Weapons complex to be swallowed by the sands. The former Czerka outpost of Anchorhead has now become a lawless haven for smugglers, pirates and anyone else who wants to drop off the radar. Though Anchorhead often serves as a pit stop for Republic starships in the Outer Rim, the Republic has no official presence. Unbeknownst to the Republic however, the Imperial military has established a presence on Tatooine, to explore the old Czerka labs. The Empire has garrisoned a small force in the town of Mos Ila where industrious Jawa had restored a spaceport hoping to encourage trade, only to see their hard work taken over by Imperial troops who drove the Jawa back into the desert. This puts the Imperials only a short distance from the main community at Anchorhead. Between the two, a terrible secret sleeps in the sand. Region: Outer Rim Territories Sector: Arkanis sector System: Tatoo system Rotation period: 23 standard hours Climate: Arid Primary terrain: * Desert * Some oaises * Mesas * Buttes * Canyons Surface water: 1% Creatures * Kumumgah * Tusken Raider * Jawas * Trooshti * Riorians * Mole Creatures * Dewback * Bantha * Ronto * Eopie * Womp rat * Sarlacc * Krayt dragon Major cities: * Bestine (capital) * Anchorhead * Fort Tusken * Mos Eisley * Mos Entha * Mos Espa * Mos Gamos * Mos Ila

Kashyyyk Current Control: Republic It was presumably some time after this that Kashyyyk decided to join the Galactic Republic. The Wookiees reverse-engineered the hyperdrive from a Trandoshan vessel. They were welcomed into the Republic through dealings with the Corellians, Verpine, and Alderaanians. During the New Sith Wars, the planet was conquered by the Brotherhood of Darkness. The Sith were then defeated by Valenthyne Farfalla, for which he was honored by the local tribal leaders. Eventually, Kashyyyk was represented in the Galactic Senate, with Senator Yarua being the last Kashyyyk representative prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars. The Wookiees colonized both of the major moons of Kashyyyk, as well as other worlds in the system such as Alaris Prime. A few years after the Invasion of Naboo, the Wookiee Trade Guild attempted to tax the Trade Federation for goods passed through the Kashyyyk system. An army of B2 super battle droids, led by Count Dooku, arrived at the Wookiee Trade Guild's headquarters and disbanded it. Region: Mid Rim Sector: Mytaranor sector System: Kashyyyk system Rotation period: 26 standard hours Climate: Temperate Primary terrain * Mountains * Immense forests and jungles * Seas * Lakes * River Surface water: 60% Creatures: * Wookiees * Kashyyyk bantha * Kinrath * Katarn * Gnasp * Gorryl slug * Netcaster * Tach Major cities: * Rwookrrorro (capital) * Royal City * Kachirho * Kepitenochan * Thikkiiana * Okikuti * Chenachochan

ManaanCurrent Control: None Manaan was an aquatic planet in the Pyrshak system. It was home to the Selkath, an amphibious species. The planet was completely covered in water and was the only known source of the healing liquid, kolto, in the galaxy. Controlled by the Rakata during pre-Republic history, it became independent following the collapse of their Infinite Empire. In the years leading up to and during the Jedi Civil War, kolto was so important to the galaxy that the Selkath were able to use their monopoly to enforce their policy of neutrality and autonomy. The only above-surface settlement on Manaan was the floating Ahto City. During the Jedi Civil War, both the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic attempted to get an upper hand in the war by creating secret deals that would give them more kolto. Ultimately, however, the Selkath banned the Sith from Manaan for trying to overthrow the government. Manaan was rediscovered by the broader galactic community by the beginning of the Great Manifest Period, which began in 20,000 BBY. By the time of the Jedi Civil War, Manaan had established itself as one of the most important planets in the galaxy. As the sole provider of kolto, Manaan's resources were in high demand. In order to serve the needs of non-Selkath visitors, the Selkath built Ahto City, which was so large that it could be seen from orbit. Since kolto was in high demand during the war—due to its powerful healing properties—Manaan's entire economy revolved around its exportation. During the years prior to the Mandalorian Wars, Manaan's main client was the Galactic Republic, though Manaan itself was not a member of the Republic. Instead, Manaan adopted a state of neutrality. As the Jedi Civil War began, the Selkath established a series of laws to preserve their neutrality, sovereignty, and protection. Both the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire had to abide by these laws, or risk full kolto sanctions. If any faction decided to invade the planet, the Selkath threatened to destroy the kolto supply. Despite the laws, both the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic were constantly looking for ways to gain the advantage. A few of the Selkath recognized the potential consequences of a Sith victory and made a secret deal with the Republic, allowing them to build their own kolto harvesting base on the ocean floor. Unfortunately, the location chosen for the station was the Hrakert Rift, and the Progenitor was not pleased by the invasion of her territory. Through what was described as a telepathic scream, she drove the Selkath in the base and the firaxan sharks outside the base insane, and they attacked and killed nearly all of the Republic personnel. The operation was a disaster, and for some time the Republic Embassy did not know what had happened. Region: Inner Rim Territories System: Pyrshak system Rotation period: 26 standard hours Climate: Temperate Primary terrain: * Planetwide ocean * Islands Surface: water 100% Points of interest: * Ahto City swoop track * Ahto Luxury Resorts * Hrakert Rift * Hrakert Station Native people: Selkath

KorribanCurrent Control: Sith Empire Homeworld of the SithThe earliest Sith lived on the red, dusty planet of Korriban, determined to grow strong despite the inhospitable climate. Their success culminated in a bold civilization, made stronger when dark Force-users arrived and interbred after being driven out of the early Jedi Order. This ancient Sith civilization eventually became a superpower and challenged the Republic during the Great Hyperspace war. Their defeat drove a handful of survivors into deep space where they regrouped and rebuilt, determined to return. Over time, the new Sith Empire lost its way back to Korriban, until a visit a few centuries ago by two Jedi returning from the Mandalorian wars. Turned to the dark side, the two Jedi, Revan and Malak, attempted to reclaim the Sith’s legacy in the known galaxy, but turned on each other and self-destructed. The true Sith Empire, governed by a thousand-year-old Dark Emperor, wisely waited, and returned to the known galaxy only when completely prepared to defeat the Jedi and the Republic. Retaking the holy planet of Korriban as a top priority, the Sith re-established the glorious Sith Academy and began training a new generation of Sith to inherit their dark legacy and seize their birthright as the true rulers of the galaxy. Region: Outer Rim Territories; Stygian Caldera Sector: Esstran sector System: Horuset system Rotation period: 28 standard hours Climate: Cold and dry Gravity: Heavy Primary terrain: * Mountains * Canyons * Dry riverbeds * Tombs * Ruins Points of interest: * Valley of the Dark Lords * Eternal Pyre * Valley of Golg * Sith Academy * Shyrack cave * Ludo Kressh's tomb Creatures: * Terentatek * Shyrack

LehonCurrent Control: None Millennia before the birth of the Galactic Republic, the planet was the capital of the ancient Infinite Empire of the Rakata (49,000 – 25,200 BBY). The Rakata were a scientifically advanced species that powered their technology with natural Force sensitivity and used their knowledge to enslave and subjugate other, less-developed species. They were responsible for creating several technological marvels including the semi-sentient Star Forge, which churned out war droids and spaceships at an alarming rate. The Rakata built large cities on their homeworld, which later became crumbling ruins reclaimed by the jungle. The Infinite Empire, which at its peak included approximately 500 planets, ten billion Rakata, and over a trillion slaves, ended in a brutal civil war. During the final days of the Empire, the Rakata were forced to flee back to their homeworld due to widespread slave insurrections and the ravages of a deadly plague which stripped them of their Force abilities, but on its surface their war continued. The surviving Rakata, now extinct beyond their homeworld, succumbed to barbarism, with cannibalism becoming common among their warring factions. Battling warlords severely damaged the surface of Rakata Prime through the use of weapons of mass destruction that fragmented it into islands. The majority of the species were forced to flee underground because their planet had become almost uninhabitable. Region: Unknown Regions System: Lehon system Rotation period: 18 standard hours Climate: Tropical Primary terrain: * Oceans * Tropical islands * Rocky outcroppings Points of interest: * Temple of the Ancients * Black Rakatan Settlement * Elder Rakatan Settlement Creatures: *Gizka *Rancor

Telos IV Current Control: Republic XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Telos IV, often called simply Telos, was the fourth world within
the Telos system, located in the Outer Rim Kwymar sector.
Situated on the strategically-important Hydian Way hyperlane,
on the edge of Galactic Republic-controlled space, the Telosian
military and economic power bases were considered vital to the
survival of the Republic. In addition, the planet played host to
the Agricultural Corps, where Jedi who had failed their training
were sent to work as farmers and laborers. During one of the
earliest battles of the Jedi Civil War, Telos was devastated by
forces of the Sith Empire. Under orders from Darth Malak,
former Republic Admiral Saul Karath demanded the planet's
surrender; upon being rebuffed, he carried out his orders to
bombard the surface. Soon after, the Jedi Order, fearful of an
attack on the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine and the possible loss
of many valuable relics, chose Telos as the site for a secret
Jedi academy and repository. This academy was eventually
taken over by the Jedi Master Atris, from where she hoped to
rebuild the shattered Order.
In the year 3,955 BBY, at the behest of Republic Supreme
Chancellor Cressa, Telos was chosen as the first planet to
undergo a Republic-sponsored restoration effort. This initiative,
if successful, would pave the way for the restoration of other
planets that had been ravaged during the recent Mandalorian
Wars and the conflict wrought by Darths Revan and Malak. The
Telosian Restoration Project called for the construction of
Citadel Station, an immense space station that orbited the
planet, to implement the restoration process. Overseen by the
Telosian Council, the Ithorian herd of Chodo Habat was chosen
to manage the project. Telos and Citadel Station played a
crucial part in the Jedi Exile's mission to end the First Jedi
Purge, when the station was attacked by Sith forces under
Darth Nihilus. In the wake of the battle, the Sith Triumvirate
was defeated; this resulted in the eventual stabilization of the
Republic. Due in part to the Exile's efforts, the Restoration
Project was ultimately successful, and Telos once again
became a lush planet, with many Sacred Places and national
parks that drew tourists from throughout the galaxy. Region: Outer Rim Territories Sector: Kwymar sector System: Telos system Rotation period: 24 standard hours Climate: Temperate Primary terrain: * Beach * Canyons * Cityscape * Forest * Gorges * Grasslands * Hills * Mountains * Polar region

Nar Shaddaa Current Control: Hutts XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Nar Shaddaa was the largest moon of Nal Hutta.
More commonly known as the Vertical City, the Smuggler's
Moon and Little Coruscant, Nar Shaddaa was similar to
Coruscant in that its surface was entirely overgrown with city
sprawl for millennia. But unlike Coruscant—which was only
relatively dangerous on the lower levels of the world city—Nar
Shaddaa was filthy, polluted, and infested with crime throughout
Ancient refueling spires and loading docks reached out from the
native soil and some built in the upper atmosphere. In between
these ports, massive vertical cities grew. The urban areas on
Nar Shaddaa were known as vertical cities since new layers of
housing and entertainment buildings were built on top of older
layers, like Coruscant and Taris.
While much of Coruscant was filled with gleaming apartments
and well-maintained skywalks, the entire moon that was Nar
Shaddaa was dominated by decaying urban landscape and
congested, polluted cities. The moon was protected by
planetary shields. Anything illegal elsewhere could be bought
and sold on Nar Shaddaa, and many young smugglers, pirates
and criminals started their careers on the Smugglers' Moon.
Various sections of Nar Shaddaa were controlled by the Hutts
and other criminal organizations.
Despite the criminal activities on the Smuggler's Moon, it was
known that many of the galaxy's most advanced technologies
were actually developed on Nar Shaddaa. Corporations that
wanted to avoid regulations that prohibited testing often
developed such dangerous and even valuable technology within
the lower levels of the city of the moon. Region: Mid Rim Sector: Hutt Space System: Y'Toub system Rotation period: 87 standard hours Climate: Temperate Primary terrain: * Barren * Vongformed * Decaying urban zones Points of interest: * The Burning Deck * The Slag Pit * Meltdown Café * Orange Lady * Rimmer's Rest * Sith Academy * Jekk'Jekk Tarr Cantina Major cities: * New Vertica * Ko Hentota * Duros Sector * Corellian Sector * Refugee Sector * Red Sector

Dxun Current Control: Mandalorian  Dxun, also known as the Demon Moon, was the largest of four moons that orbited the Outer Rim world of Onderon. Like its parent planet, it was covered almost entirely by dense jungles that were populated by many species of fierce, predatory animals. Despite being temperate and habitable, the jungles of Dxun posed major challenges for everyone struggling to survive there. Due to its constant rains and wet climate, mechanical devices did not last long and required continuous maintenance. Moreover, the jungles were inhabited by many dangerous predators such as bomas, cannoks, drexls, maalraas, skreevs, and zakkegs, forcing the moon's inhabitants to be armed at all times. Though considered a moon of Onderon, Dxun and Onderon were almost sister planets. They were so close to one another that it was only a short shuttle ride between them, and they even shared a bit of the same atmosphere. Every year, during Dxun's summer season, the atmospheres of Onderon and Dxun would connect. This allowed the vicious Drexls to wander and settle on Onderon, thus laying the foundations for the Beast Wars. Region: Inner Rim Sector: Japrael Sector System: Onderon system Rotation period: 26 standard hours Primary terrain: Jungles Points of interest: * Tomb of Freedon Nadd * Mandalorian Outpost Creatures: * Maalraas * Zakkeg * Cannok * Boma * Orbalisk * Drexl * Crasna

OnderonCurrent Control: Naddist Onderon had four moons. Dxun, the primary moon, once orbited very close to the planet, allowing some animals to fly between the planet and the moon. The other three moons were Dagri, Evas and Suthre. The native Humans of Onderon struggled against the beasts, eventually gathering new technologies and building a huge walled city, Iziz, to protect themselves. Like the people of many other fringe worlds, the Onderonians had a distrust of non-Humans. A colony ship brought the first humans to Onderon sometime between 5,200 and 4,600 BBY. Owing to the brutal fauna of the world, the earliest encampments were hastily expanded into what would become the only city on the planet, Iziz. In 4,400 BBY, Freedon Nadd conquered the planet and established a dark side theocracy. These cultists were known as Naddists. Naddist tyrants included Warb Null and King Ommin. The Naddists sent Iziz's criminal element (opponents of the Naddists) out into the wilderness without any protection from the animals. These outcasts soon learned to defend themselves, and eventually formed a second civilization, the Beast Riders. Relations between the two groups were hostile, and they remained at war with each other for many years. The Beast Wars lasted from 4,350 BBY to 4,000 BBY, with the final battles serving as the opening salvos of the Great Sith War. Ommin was crowned King in the year 4,018 BBY, taking Amanoa as Queen. Novar was appointed Minister of State in 4,013 BBY. In 4,002 BBY, Onderon joined the Galactic Republic. The Republic asked the Jedi to watch over the world. Jedi Master Arca Jeth was selected as Watchman, and assigned his Padawans Ulic Qel-Droma, Cay Qel-Droma, and Tott Doneeta to the planet in a test-capacity. The Beast Wars finally ended with the death of Naddist Queen Amanoa. Amanoa's daughter Galia married Oron Kira, the leader of the outcasts, known as the "Beastprince." Region: Inner Rim Territories Sector: Japrael sector System: Onderon system Rotation period: 28 standard hours Climate: Temperate Primary terrain: * Forests * Plains * Mountains * Jungles Points of interest: -Onderon's wilderness * Fortress Kira Creatures: * Terentatek * Devaronian * Twi'lek * Sullustan * Bith * Quarren * Nikto * Aqualish

CoruscantCurrent Control: Republic CAPITAL OF THE REPUBLICAt the center of the galaxy, the gleaming towers of Coruscant symbolize the power and prosperity of Republic civilization—the result of thousands of years of progress and democracy. Coruscant has been capital of the Republic since its founding more than twenty thousand years ago. Home to the Supreme Chancellor and the Galactic Senate, Coruscant is the most politically prominent planet in the galaxy. Protected by the legendary Jedi Order, Coruscant has always been the galaxy’s safest haven for law abiding citizens. All who would come in peace and partnership are welcome, and hundreds of alien species and star systems have come to be represented on Coruscant over time. These varied influences have made Coruscant the ultimate metropolis—a planet where anyone and everyone can find somewhere they belong. Sitting at the zero point for hyperspace coordinates, Coruscant acts as the hub for all the galaxy’s trade routes. Though the city-world is without natural resources, it has long relied on member systems and allies to supply the raw goods for the population’s growth and prosperity. Though it has faced many difficulties in its long history, Coruscant has ever developed in a positive arc. Despite the Republic’s initial losses in the Great War, the Jedi successfully repelled the Sith Empire’s attacks on the Core Worlds. Citizens believed they were safe on Coruscant, and for many, that led to an idyllic hope that the Republic would win the war. That hope was shattered when the Sith deceived the Republic’s leaders, sacked Coruscant, and destroyed the Jedi Temple. Since the Treaty of Coruscant, the Senate has been forced to make difficult decisions on prioritizing the Republic’s resources. Focus has been put on shoring up defenses in the border worlds and rebuilding only the parts of Coruscant critical to governance and trade. Large parts of the city-world still remain in ruins, and many sectors have fallen under gang control. Ultimately, the state of Coruscant is the state of the Republic—impressive and imperfect at the same time. Like the Republic as well, though, the strength of Coruscant lies not in its structures and systems, but in its people. Region: Core Worlds Sector: Coruscant sector System: Coruscant system Rotation period: 24 standard hours Climate: Temperate and controlled Primary terrain: * Urban cityscape * Mountains Surface water: Below 5% (29% in the ice caps) Points of interest: * Central Gathering Hall * Coruscant Museum of Galactic Cultures * Eastport * EmPal SuRecon * Galactic Museum * Galaxies Opera House * Jedi Temple * Western Sea * Manarai Mountains * Monument Plaza * Newport * Senate Building * Skydome Botanical Gardens * The Works * University of Coruscant * West Champianne Landing Field * Westport * Glitannai Esplanade * Holographic Zoo of Extinct Animals

NabooCurrent Control: Republic Around 3,951 BBY, prior to the end of the Sith Civil War, Elsinore den Tasia ascended to the throne of the Core World of Grizmallt. She sponsored the Republic explorer Kwilaan, who discovered Naboo with a fleet of three ships—Beneficent Tasia, Constant and Mother Vima. The planet became known as Naboo, after the deity Nabu. Naboo quickly became notorious amongst big game hunters who favored the indigenous veermoks, although it would be five decades before permanent Human settlement. Eventually, in approximately 3,900 BBY, Human refugees fleeing a violent revolution on Grizmallt, led by none other than Kwilaan, settled in the mountains and great grass plains. Cultural differences led to tension between the two peoples—but direct conflict was rare. Over time, there was more conflict between the various Human settlements than between the Human nation of Naboo and Gungans. Naboo was a geologically unique world in the galaxy. A plasmic molten outer core surrounded an inner core, believed to be composed primarily of a nickel-iron alloy, with very small amounts of some other elements. These elements were found in abundance in other chemical compositions in the galaxy, but it is the unique properties of the plasma which interested astrophysicists, plasma which the two primary civilizations harnessed to supply clean and efficient energy highly valued throughout the galaxy. The plasmic magma "seethes and bubbles" from the center of the planet carving labyrinths of winding tunnels and caverns similar to lava tubes of traditional magma flows. Much of these abyssal labyrinths were submerged in great underground oceans, which were home to immense aquatic animals and creatures that were never seen on the surface. Animals such as the Colo Claw Fish, Opee Sea Killer, Sando Aqua Monster, and others inhabited this underworld realm. Gungans dominated these "underwaterways," using them as a highway of sorts between their surface Holy Places and their underwater cities. Plasmic eruptions found their way to the porous crust of the planet, affecting geographic features there such as mountain chains and plate tectonics. The surface of Naboo was covered by dense swamps, rolling grass plains, seas and verdant hills. The largest mountain chain, the Gallo Mountains, bisected the largest continent and divided the great grass plains of the north from the Lianorm Swamp and bayous in the south. South of the Lianorm Swamp was the great Paonga Sea, where at the bottom lay the Gungan city of Otoh Gunga. The Lake Country was an area known for its natural beauty, and was home to many vacation estates. Region: Mid Rim Sector: Chommell sector System: Naboo system Rotation period: 26 standard hours Climate: Temperate Primary terrain: * Rolling grassy plains * Swamps * Grassy hills * Forests Surface water: 85% Points of interest: * Lianorm Swamp * Lake Paonga * The Emperor's Retreat * Great Grass Plains * Gallo Mountains * Solleu River * Caves of Eleuabad * Sacred Place * Lake Country * Theed Palace * Ranchlands * Lors

Yavin IV
Current Control: Sith Empire XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX In 5,000 BBY, the Sith Lord Naga Sadow fled to
Yavin 4 on his flagship along with an army of Massassi warriors
following the defeat of his Sith forces during the Great
Hyperspace War by the Galactic Republic. He then conducted
Sith alchemic experiments on his Massassi warriors, causing
them to mutate from red-skinned humanoids into fearsome,
savage, hunchbacked predators. Despite these abuses, his
Massassi slaves treated him like a god, building huge temples,
filled with treasure, to honor their Sith Lord.
Sadow also encased himself in a Sith sarcophagus where he
remained in a coma-like trance for centuries, waiting for
someone to call upon his power and continue the history of the
Sith. He remained in suspended animation until 4,400 BBY, when
a fallen Jedi named Freedon Nadd arrived on Yavin 4. By then,
the descendants of the Massassi had devolved into a primitive
hunter-warrior society. At first, the Massassi attacked him
though his use of the Force amazed them, who recalled the
Golden Age of the Sith. They then showed him where the Dark
Lord rested, waiting for other Dark Jedi. Nadd then awoke Naga
Sadow, who taught him in the ways of the Sith, until, as was
the Sith's nature, Nadd killed him, becoming Dark Lord himself.
Centuries later, in 3,997 BBY, the fallen Jedi Exar Kun went to
Yavin 4 at the advice of the dark side spirit of Freedon Nadd.
There he discovered the Massassi, who tried to sacrifice him to
a monstrous beast of alchemical origins beneath their main
temple. However, using his dark powers, he managed to save
himself. The dark side manifestation of Freedon Nadd appeared,
delighted with Kun's actions and claiming him as his ally -
though Exar Kun would hear none of this and instead used his
newly-found Sith powers to destroy Nadd.
As the new Dark Lord of the Sith, he enslaved the Massassi and took over Yavin 4. He then used his Massassi slaves to construct new Sith temples and palaces, based on Sith architecture and designed to focus dark powers. His slaves also discovered the flagship of Naga Sadow beneath the ruins of an ancient Massassi temple. He also created vicious Sithspawn including the battle hydras, terentateks, Night Beast. The Sith Lord also imprisoned the souls of the children of the Massassi in a malevolent Dark Side device known as the Golden Globe.
Later, Kun allied himself with the Krath - another group of dark-siders based in the Empress Teta system under the leadership of Aleema Keto and another fallen Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma. He then went to the Jedi world of Ossus and recruited twenty Jedi to his cause, thus starting the Brotherhood of the Sith. In 3,996 BBY, Exar Kun along with his Krath and Mandalorian allies waged war on the Republic and the Jedi. The Jedi eventually prevailed and gathered their forces for an assault on Yavin 4. However, as the orbiting Jedi fleet launched a wall of light side power which bombarded the jungle moon, Kun gathered his Massassi followers into the Great Temple and drained their life energies in order to free his spirit from his body and invest it into the surrounding structures where he would remain for millennia.
