Excerpt

Planet Eclipse, is not really a planet to begin with. The planet is just shy of being classified as a full fledged planet. Eclipse is located in the middle of a dense asteroid field located in L-11 of the Deep Core. The planet is just a barren land, similar to that of an asteroid. Deep within the planet's crust can be found a small concentration of Kyber crystals the the planet was likely once a crystalline planet until it was lost. The only mention of the planet is some obscured references from early explorers.

Description

Planet Eclipse is a planet located deep within an dense asteroid field within the Deep Core, at L-11. Eclipse is a barren land with no atmosphere or civilization. The planet could really be considered an oversized asteroid with a rough terrain carrying years worth of craters from natural impacts of space debris.

The only notable features of the planet is a few scarce caves and tunnels that have developed from the rare space creature who would have made it's home within the planet's surface, however the planet has no native flora or fauna due to it's lack of atmosphere and any creatures that had once existed have died off decades before and anything that set up a home, was only a brief set up. Eclipse benefits from a large asteroid field that surrounds it, the field is proven to be dense and difficult to navigate through without a skilled practitioner or a properly plotted route.

Deep within the crust it is said to hold Kyber crystals, however how they had developed there or how this planet even came into existence is unknown, although there is theories. On a regular basis the planet does become impacted by many of the stray asteroids or space debris, however it is not constantly bombarded by it's natural defense. It is these impacts that might explain the existence of random bits of metal or crystals.

History

Eclipse was once a vibrant planet, likely of crystalline nature, that had housed a unknown species millennial ago, however the former planet had come under siege by nature and influenced by it's previous people. During their peak time the planet began to destabilized and eventually the planet had surrendered and erupted causing the planet to exploded resulting in the former planet turned to debris.

This eruption created the existing asteroid field that surrounding the planet; however a single chuck of the previous planet remained while the rest began to circle it, over time more pieces of the planet broke off or the debris had collided with itself resulting in the density of the field today.

Today, after thousands of years of bombardment, it seems the planet was stabilized, however it is still subjected to the occasional collision. This devastation as resulted in a completely barren planet with no flora or fauna, or even inhabitants as it is merely a large planetoid with no atmosphere due to the destruction of the original planet. The name 'Eclipse' comes from the ever darkness due to the lack of a sun or moon. In essence it is simply an asteroid.

Inhabitants

At the time of this writing, there is no inhabitants to Eclipse; however the planet is a possible candidate for a deep space colony or base.

Flora & Fauna

Eclipse is barren with no atmosphere resulting in no foundations for flora or fauna.

Intent

This planet write up is designed to serve as a backdrop for an upcoming plot planned. The planet will be a candidate for a base/colony maintained by artificial means (artificial environment / produced atmosphere) - or be a location for a space station to be deployed; upon successful completion of the plot the Jedi will have a base of operations. However the location isn't reserved for myself or the Jedi - as per guidelines.

This is a very BARE BONES planet. I have intentions of updating this write up as the planet gets established (ie update Points of Interest).

This planet exists in Legends, but information is limited.
