Galdera​

Refuge of the Forgotten​

Planet Name: Galdera
Coordinates: F14
Climates: land around the equator is tropical (known as the "Green Belt") but as you get further away it becomes more and more arid, until you reach the poles.
Terrain: Jungles and swamps around the equator, low and high deserts coupled with scattered pine forests as you move farther away. A large mountain range known as the Spine separates the upper left hand corner of the single continent from the rest of the land.
Rotation: 14 hour days, such a short amount of sunlight has made the inhabitants very hard working individuals, as temperatures can reach below freezing during the night
Inhabitants:
- Humans ( Dexterous and bipedal organisms whose large brains have allowed them to become the dominant species on the planet, Classification: Mammal )
- Verx ( large vulpine creatures that move on six legs, they make their homes in the northern reaches of the planet, Classification: Mammal )
- Vrooka ( imagine a bat mixed with a chimpanzee, Classification: Mammal )
- Bellower ( a long lived herd animal that emits a low guttural groan as a matting call, they make up the primary meat source for humans, Classification: Mammal )
- Treshdor (an ancient species of bipedal carnivores, Classification: Reptile)
Resources: Large ore and precious metal deposits can be found in the crust yet mining operations have been minimal
Government: The lower half of the continent is ruled by the...

Gilded Republic
Government Structure: Military junta
Population: 100,000
Economy: Agricultural, in ruin because there is nobody to tend the fields.
Culture: To the people of the Gilded Republic nothing is more important than serving your country. For the past couple of years this has meant military service for both men and women. Much of the population has fanatical devotion to a general known as Abner, who leads the military council. Galactic Basic is also the official language.

Technology: The isolated peoples of Galdera have made crude advances in weaponry since their immigration to the planet 900 years ago. Much of their technology is the same as it was during the time of the Galactic Empire.
Satellites: No satellites
History: The original denizens of Galdera were refugees escaping the fires of the Yuuzhan Vong War. They came under the leadership of a businessman turned prophet who said that he would take them to a place free of violence. 50 years later they found a habitable world in wild space which they named Galdera (the name of their goddess). The prophet would die some time later but not without establishing a state he called the Gilded Republic which his closest advisers took control of. Over the near millennium the original 3,000 followers became 100,000. The denizens of Galdera have had no outside contact with the rest of the galaxy, leading to less than stellar technological improvements. Somewhere along the line the theocracy of the Gilded Republic became a military junta, with power residing in a small group of generals. The main cause for this was perhaps the uprisings of districts that refused to acknowledge the ultimate power of a god that they thought did not exist. The latest rebellion, Falkner's Rebellion, has left a bloody scar across the western corner of the Republic.
