Planets
The Sith lords planets
Peragus ll
When Peragus ll was first mined for it's fuel, an explosion occurred on the southern hemisphere which led to the asteriod field forming.
The mining colony is closely monitered for any weapons or explosives coming on to the planet. Mining droids are given mining lasers but these weapons
aren't effeciant or accurant against a non-droid. The mining colony is constantly sending asteriod charts that show where all the asteriods are
out to incoming ships because the asteriods are a problem trying to dock on the facility. Peragus ll is your first planet you'll visit.
Telos and Citadel Station
Telos was one of the first if not the first planet to face Revan's fury. The planet was bombed by the Sith fleet until it was wasted.
Now, the Republic has set up Citadel Station over Telos under the leadership of Ithorians who are directing the rejuvenation of the dead planet. The
Ithorians moniter plants and animals from around the galaxy that is brought in. They place the plants and creatures in different zones around the planet.
The only law on Citadel Station is the Telos Security Force which is inadequate. Czerka Corporation also has quarters on Citadel Station. Czerka has outposts
on several different worlds. Both the Ithorians and Czerka are trying to undermine each others work and although Czerka would deny it, they have gone as far
as to attack the Ithorians compound with mercaneries. .Telo's north and south pole is covered in snow and ice. Telos and Citadel Station is the second
planet you will travel to.
Knights of the Old Republic planets
Korriban
Korriban was home to the Sith Academy. Many Sith lords have tombs in the Valley of the Dark lords. Sith archaeologists dug through the valley in search of
valuable artifacts. It was thought that maybe a whole colony lay under the valley. A star map, visited by Revan and Malak, lay in the tomb of Naga Sadow.
The tomb was later visited again by Revan when he was trying to find the Star Forge again. Where some planets have a population of millions or billions, Korriban has only one
small settlement which was named Dreshdae. Dreshdae had a population of 2.5% of a million. The citizans live in fear of the Sith students who do as they please.
Many hopefuls came to Dreshdae in hope of entering the Academy. The ’lucky ones‘ who were accepted faced the Master of the Academy. The current master would have
the accepted hopefuls try to gain his approval. Several things the hopefuls could do was enter one of the dangerous tombs in the Valley of the Dark lords. These tombs were
full of traps, mines, war droids, rooms that could lock you in forever, and dangerous creatures who nested in the tombs. The tombs also held valuable artifacts including
lightsabers and swords that had been used by the first fallen jedi. If you came out alive you might gain some prestige with the master of the academy. With enough prestige,
you might be able to enter Naga Sadow's tomb which has one of the star maps in it's rooms. Only after the final test would you become a Sith.
Manaan
Manaan is completely covered in water. The native species, named Selkath, have built Ahto City to accommodate off-world visitors. Manaan is the sole supplier of
kolto, a power healing agent used by both the Sith and the Republic. Both sides used kolto during the war. Synthesized kolto has proved almost impossible. The main place
kolto grows, for it is organic, grows in the Krakanet Rift. Although the Selkath remained neutral in the war, many Selkath tried helping the Republic to build a special kolto
harvesting station in the Krakanet Rift to give the Republic an edge over the Sith, The plan later backfired because of a giant firaxa shark that was disturbed by the station's building.
The shark was drawn by a star map's dark force and fed on the kolto in the rift. On Alto City, Dark Jedi where able to win over a small amount of selkath youth sending them to the
Sith embassy under false promises to be trained in the use of the force to better the Selkath species. There where rumors that this plan backfired and that the Sith where up to no good.
The Republic and Sith both have an embassy on the opposite sides of Alto City. They watch each other closely along with the Selkath one moniter the whole planet.
Kashyyk
The wookie world of Kashyyk is covered in trees. The forest is kimometers high with the safetest levels on top. The farther you go down the more dangerous it becomes. Wookies have
built giant platforms and villages in the trees. Their most prominent village is Rwookrrorro. Honor and loyalty are the main points to wookie tribes. Wookie tribes are also steeped in
tradition. include life!debts and each wookie building a unique bowcaster. Czerka Corperation had an outpost on the planet selling native slaves and goods taken from the forest.
These goods include the tach gland, a gland taken from the monkey-like tach. Besides Czerka, Kashyyk has for the most part kept away from the technology of a modern world. The
native wookies know nothing of any technology on the forest floor.
Taris
Taris was once an urban world, the surface completely covered by buildings. It had once challenged the galactic capitol of Coruscant. But new trade routes left Taris on the edge of Outer
Rim and far away from the core worlds. Affluent humans sat on the surface in luxury while the poor were left in the undercity. The undercity was extremely dangerous with constant gang wars.
The most notorious gangs where the Black Vulkars and the Hidden Beks. Swoop racing was also popular on Taris and got the best racers. Swoop racing is a timed race on a straight course. Almost
every planet has a track. Alien immigrants were subject to race laws and usually weren't seen on the surface. Many aliens lived in the lower city and some joined the gang wars. Criminals
were sent to the real surface of the planet, the undercity. Most of these criminals were humans from the uppercity and some at one point had been very rich. The undercity swarmed with rakhgouls,
a mutated creature that the citizans of the uppercity could never imagine. The victims of a rakhgoul attack usually contracted the rakhgoul disease. There was no known cure of the disease. When
the Sith quarantined the planet they began working on a cure to use on the patrols that were sent down to the undercity in search of Republican escape pods and an escaped Jedi. Taris was bombed by the Sith
when the search began taking to long, killing billions. This is the first planet you will visit.
Tatooine
There was once an ocean or several rivers on Tatooine. Now there is only a small colony called Anchorhead surrounded by dune seas. Anchorhead is run by Czerka Corporation who is mining for ore.
The ore has proved not the best of quality although Czerka says it is. The colony will probably abandon like the other companies who have come to Tatooine. The two native alien species of Tatooine are
Jawas and Sand People. The small Jawas are traders whos' language is almost unintelligible to most other species. On the other hand, Sand People, or Tusken Raiders as they are also called,
attack any mining vehicles sent out in the dune seas. Tusken Raiders can be heavily armed due to mining victims weapons. The only way to talk to a sand person would be with a translation droid. Hunters
come from all over the galaxy to hunt Krayt Dragons. These gigantic lizards usually feed off of banthas, the mount for a Tusken Raider. But Krayt Dragons don't mind a hunter that isn't paying
attention either. An especially large Krayt Dragon was killed near Anchorhead. Many think the lizard came so close to Anchorhead because of a lack of prey. Others think the Krayt Dragon was consumed
or controlled by something in it's cave. Revan and Malak where known to have visited Tatooine in their search for the Star Forge.
