Star Wars RPG Campaign Setting (2019 & 2020) - Reactivated for May the 4th 2022 - Re-opened 2024

.1 Imperial Capital – Asherah Prime

Orbital Metrics: 360 days per year / 24 hours per day

Population: 7,200,000,000 (86% Human, 14% other)

Major Cities: V’Vorcia

Asherah Prime is a beautiful ocean world, the blue jewel that crowns the Asherah Expanse and classed as a capital world by the Empire. Blessed with abundant seas and favourable winds, Asherah Prime has long served as the sacred gathering place of the noble houses, who reside in stunning white cities and palaces that float in the skies over the waves.

So captivating are the vistas the Empire built a palace to be a pinnacle piece of imperial architecture formed from millions of shimmering blades that turn slowly about a central palace. As a benefitting for a world once deemed the imperial capital for this part of space, the planet is protected by a vast energy shield, projected from huge generator towers that burst from the waves to loom into the sky.

The capital of V’Vorcia is the largest floating city on the planet where the noble houses of the planet hold council. It is full of political intrigue and scandal befitting its status in the expanse; what transpires in the gleaming council chambers and scintillating banquet halls have major ramifications that affect every corner of the known space.

.2 Imperial Shipyard – Asherah Nova

Orbital Metrics: 322 days per year/20 hours per day

Population: 3,600,000,000 (80% Human, 20% other)

Major Cities: Cora

Asherah Nova is a standard terrestrial planet but unlike other planets in the galaxy, a single, large man-made ring circled its equator. Serving as the shipyards the ring is an immense scaffold in space, bridged and augmented with enormous habitats and machinery.

Inside the scaffolding is a myriad of ship skeletons and other craft, with tiny bright dots drifting to and from the ships under construction with the habitats of the station.

The orbital ring had a total inhabitable area of less than three hundred thousand square kilometres, thus making its liveable space smaller than a typical planetary substation.

The majority of goods that past into and out of the Sector pass through Asherah Nova, and it is here that goods and cargo manifests are inspected, recorded and taxed before being transferred from local freighters or massive space barges that run the trade routes into the Galactic Core.

This requires a huge number of services, and the entire system is overseen by guild masters personally appointed by the nobility of each of the houses. Tariffs are collected, filling the coffers of the noble houses, but they, in turn, pay a sizable proportion to the Empire.

Corruption, smuggling, bribery, tampering, and theft are inevitable, and the Falleen Princess Xedvan is the undisputed master of the darker aspects of the trade hub. Her base of operations is the luxurious palace at the centre of the trade sector on the largest of the orbital ring, and her power that on part of ring she can in a whim shut down most operations within Asherah Nova, and thus The Reach.

The shipyards are where her influence is weakest; here the mechanics and shipwrights are allied in powerful and belligerent trade unions that keep her at bay. The entire collection of myriad orbital bodies and stations are protected by an array of defensive systems. Those fools who attempt to raid Asherah Nova rarely if ever get a second chance.

.3 Aariat

Orbital Metrics: 381 days per year/26 hours per day

Population: 1,000 (Guards – Human 100%) 10,000 (Prisoners – Various)

Major Cities: None

Aariat is infamous as the most savage penal world for several Sectors. Even before the rise of the Empire, it was used as the dumping ground for the very worst of the galaxy’s convicts; most prisoners would rather be killed on the spot then sent there. The high rotation of its magnetic core has turned the planet into a violent dynamo, massive lightning storms strike the planet. Special automatic prison ships deliver prisoners to the surface. In recent years up to and beyond the defeat, the Empire has been using the planet was used as a political prison, now is being run for any planet to remand its prisoners to.

.4 Janutra

Orbital Metrics: 306 days per year / 31 hours per day

Population: 5,650,000,000 (71% Human, 29% Others)

Major Cities: Pk’Mersi

Janutra is a purple crystalline world that serves as the corporate capital of the sector. All of the largest sector corporations maintain offices on the planet, in pristine cities nestled between shimmering spires and radiant peaks or along the shores of the sparkling deserts. Great chains of shard mountains cross the planet and pierce the sky, some reaching even into space; the wonder and cold beauty of this world are renowned.

The transition from the Republic to Imperial rule was relatively smooth; the citizens value peace and security above all things, and Governor Jaira Rholar has done much to ensure this tranquillity is maintained, though at great cost to personal freedoms. Public outcry and dissent are virtually unheard of; the Empire considered Janutra to be a role model world for the sector and recruits heavily from youth seeking something more adventurous. That was five years ago, and things have not changed much on Janutra since the fall of the empire.

.5 Anthryn Prime

Orbital Metrics: 361 days per year / 25 hours per day

Population: Population: 64,000,000 (40% Human, 60% Others)

Major Cities: Sh’Tresi

Anthryn Prime is a heavily jungled covered planet that is dedicated to the production of repulsorlift vehicles and is famed for its pod racer designs. The planet is under the stewardship of Grand Duchess Dagmara Poliseul who has a passion racing this has seen the world rise from corporate ignominy to become one of the leading manufacturers and it is believed that the Grand Duchess has also taken part in the races.

The Grand Duchess encourages a healthy rivalry between the domed city-states that rise out of the Jungle; the trees and swamplands are home to many racing circuits the most famous and dangerous being the Leafspear Labyrinth, a deadly leg on the galactic pod racing circuit, the plants tear and impale many racers on this deadly circuit who are unlucky. Everyone on the planet follows every event on a yearly race calendar.

For many, the dream of becoming a racer is enough to maintain them through the long hours and fiendishly hot and wet conditions; and while rare, some do achieve this dream, rising to become one of the many brash and notoriously short-lived stars.

.6 Imperial Outpost – Imperial Listening Post LP138

Orbital Metrics: 372 days per year / 30 hours per day

Population: Population: 4,000 (Human 98%, other 2%)

Major Cities: None

The Imperial Listening Post is constructed on the planet of Kr’Pakyo and is a largely subterranean facility constructed on an island located off the northern coast of M’Jori, a far larger island on the planet Kr’Pakyo. The outpost’s entrance was an above-ground bunker that contained a large elevator to the lower levels, which consisted of one central chamber, two smaller rooms located off that chamber, and a hallway linking the central chamber to a lift. The facility contained advanced surveillance equipment and communications relays, which the outpost’s staff used to eavesdrop on the traffic within this area of space.

.7 Imperial Outpost – Imperial Hub Station KC166

Orbital Metrics: 364 days per year / 28 hours per day

(artificially maintained to Coruscant standard)

Population: 12,000 (Human 78%, other 22%)

Major Cities: N/A

This outpost was originally constructed by the Trade Federation a few years before the blockade and then the Battle of Naboo, Cryocia Outpost, as it was named, was designed as a commercial facility positioned along a more prominent trade route at the time. The outpost was built to accommodate many permanent vendors, including living quarters and recreational facilities for the residents and administrative staff.

With the rise of the Empire, the Imperial Military took control of the station due to its placement along trade routes and was renamed as Imperial Hub Station KC166.

While those who control the station changed several times over the years, many of its operations and functions stayed a constant. The Trade Federation used the Outpost for purely commercial reasons. The Empire has continued many of the commercial functions while adding a military presence.

.8 Yinrâ Koihûs

Orbital Metrics: 375 days per year / 33 hours per day

Population: None

Major Cities: None

Yinrâ Koihûs is a dark and foreboding world at the far reaches of the known space, wherein years past countless millions were laid to rest beneath grim grey skies and cold stone. That anyone would choose such a forlorn place may be a surprise, it is believed that Yinrâ Koihûs contains some the strange power: those who were swiftly interred within days of passing may live on again, albeit in a ghostly form.

Some great wonder was at work on the world, and the dead continue to appear before the living and commune with them, though there are some limitations. The dead could not learn anything new, only recall memories from their living days, and they must receive regular contact, or their memories will fade away, leaving a ghostly apparition of their former selves. It is believed by some that those who are risen are the dark memories of those and wish to return to undertake some dark purpose for the planet.

A great temple to some ancient lord, the largest single structure stands at the centre of the planet. Here the vast marbled halls are filled with silence, in the past petitioners could have brought their fallen and seek permission to bury them on Yinrâ Koihûs. If it had been approved, instructions, where to find their final resting place, were given, and once the fallen was interred in the soil of the world, they may rise once more. There are sad tales of the living being unable to let go of loved ones buried on Yinrâ Koihûs, remaining in the presence of the past, till they too die.

All attempts to study the planet have met with failure; expeditions have been known to encounter extraordinary runs of ill luck and data corruption. For now, the secrets of Yinrâ Koihûs remain undisturbed, and the jump beacons have been destroyed and the primary jump point is under a blockade that was until the fall of the Empire.

.9 Dianides

Orbital Metrics: 346 days per year / 36 hours per day

Population: Indeterminant after Planetary Cataclysm

Major Cities: None

Dianides is a shattered world, split in two by the cataclysmic event that caused the fall of an Ancient Empire. The forces of gravity have been hard at work, however, and the remnants of the planet have reassembled to form a new world of high volcanic, tectonic and cosmic activity.

Numerous chunks of the planet still orbit the central planetary mass, and meteoric bombardment is a continuous threat. Volcanoes run along the great fissures that cross the world, and there are constant seismic events as the two main halves grind against each other. Scientists from across the galaxy are drawn to the planet, and from the relative safety of its outermost moon, they monitor the planet below, eager to decipher the mystery that surrounds the planet.

The surface of the planet is lifeless where oceans have been transformed into dusty deserts; firestorms engulf the planet on a frequency unmatched in the galaxy; ill winds scour the ancient and ruined ziggurats that tower over the plains. Immense structures, the ziggurats are believed to one of the few locations bearing physical evidence of the old Empire to have survived. The hyper lanes to access the planet are the most dangerous in the sector.

.10 Mandai Minor

Orbital Metrics: 329 days per year / 30 hours per day

Population:  Indeterminant after Planetary Cataclysm

Major Cities: None

Mandai Minor is a world that defies description, for those whoever land upon the surface of the planet it seems to be in flux and a planet out of time. Visions plague those who visit, and the planet emits unquantifiable energy that plays havoc with sensors and scanners, making categorization of the world almost impossible. It is believed that the visions are glimpses of your past and future, it also includes or aspects of the visitor’s life history that confront and challenge them; it is rumoured that even the Emperor himself once visited the planet.

.11 Anjan

Orbital Metrics: 354 days per year / 32 hours per day

Population:  5,000,000 (74% Human, 26% Others)

Major Cities: R’Mini

Anjan is a beautiful pleasure world where the sector’s elite come to play, bathing in the golden seas beneath lavender skies or dancing the night away in the light of the seven moons. Access to this shimmering paradise is heavily restricted, with all interstellar traffic directed to the orbital station that circles the equator; here all visitors must turn over any weapons as they board shuttle craft that then descends through the clouds to their palace of pleasure.

The planet offers all manner of idyllic pastimes, from relaxing on tropical sky-yachts, to nautodiving the vibrant reefs that colour the shallow seas, to aero boarding from the troposphere, landing on a mountainside, and working the slopes before paragliding from glacial cliffs of the polar continent.

Naturally, with such an influx of the wealthy, security is paramount, and the planetary defence force is as deadly as it is discreet. There are several small enclaves scattered across the planet where the rich may retire and live in peace. It is rumoured that to meet the needs of clientele on the planet that the corporation that runs hotels and estates are slavish in catering to all tastes, however sordid. Such speculation is of course dismissed as the envy of the masses.

.12 Halmea

Orbital Metrics: 378 days per year / 31 hours per day

Population: Population: 68,600 (46% Human, 54% Others)

Major Cities: None

Major Cities: Carrgak

Gigasator is a none descript world that sits between the Janutra Nebula and the V’keda Rift however, it has become home for the newly resurrected and dangerous sport of Huttball. The once-popular sport during the Old Republic period and was played across the galaxy and was the most-watched sport on Nar Shaddaa. It pitted two teams against one another in a no-holds-barred attempt to gain possession of the ball and bring it into the opposing team’s camp.

Violence and cheating were encouraged within the sport along with the everyone betting on the outcome of the match, to who will be the first player to fall or how gets the most killing blows. The resurrected version keeps all the excitement however the teams are now sponsored and holo’s of the matches are streamed live. Massive Huttball arenas have been erected across the planet thus Gigasator is now the centre of the new HuttBall league.

Orbital Metrics: 300 days per year / 28 hours per day

Population:  88,000,000 (72% Human, 28% Others)

Major Cities: Dancha

Dyssine is a barbaric world that orbits the third brightest star in the Sector. Beneath its brilliant glare, the once shining beacon of civilization collapsed in a civil war that left the planet devastated, where warlords continue to shed blood over petty border disputes, and loyalties and alliances are in constant flux.

They fund their campaigns by selling off the remnants of the glass cathedrals that once made Dyssine famed throughout the galaxy; a single shard of the luminous light-bending substance is worth a considerable fortune if the right buyer can be found.

During the Grand Republic to try and end the conflict banned the sale of the Dyssine-glass however, it drove that commodity to the black market; few let the knowledge that each shard is paid for with blood cloud their conscience. If more recent years Dyssine-glass blades have become a much sort of weapon for people with the means to afford them. It is said that the gyre glass weapons can even pierce Mandalorian metal.

The planet is governed by House Ravithier’s and they have a comprehensive understanding of orbital physics that ensures their rule over the planet is absolute. Early in the Republic, survey ships found a world rich with ore and minerals, and mining began. After years of mining the planet is a hollow sphere with several structures are said to orbit within its confines.

The one main entrance to the planet’s interior is guarded by Ravithier troops that operate out of the only surface structure: The Citadel which is heavily fortified and is a cylinder of airlocks that control the planet’s internal environment.

Rumours are that the Citadel Gates are of a scale that will allow even the largest of Capital Ships to pass within. Inside is a plethora of superstructures in slow orbit around each other, each with a variable gravity that the Ravithier can control at a whim. Included inside the citadel are arcologies, refineries, manufacturing stations, warehouses, and the ore itself, in massive free-floating stockpiles of material that fuel the planet’s incredible energy requirements.

.18 Uurian

The Ethical Hunting Alliance (EHA) is a band of hunters working for equal pay, helping each other with the hunts. Leaders are voted in by respect from other hunters, those who help more are often valued more than those who bring the biggest trophies. The main trade from Japria is selling meat, fur, skin, and pelts from the hunts the items are sold and shared out equally between all the hunters. In more recent years especially with the rise of the empire the Astral Mineral Expanse Mining Cooperation set up a small station and cause some problems with the EHA and the ecosystem of the planet.

Population:  Unknown

Major Cities: None

Mirigonal was an ice planet within the Reach and is believed to be one of the main sources of the valuable Adegan crystals. The caverns containing the crystals were long ago turned into a Jedi temple. Unlike the crystals of other planets, the colours of the crystal were limited to blue and green however it is believed that dark colours could be found. I’Centra Canyon is a naturally formed cleft in the surface of the planet some and is about a kilometre downward and spanned a distance of ten kilometres through a treacherous mountain range. Deep within the heart of the canyon is an anomaly, that fluctuates only every few hundred years. The planet was over ninety percent ice.

Large swathes of the planet’s surface were comprised of junkyards, with countless decommissioned starships over the centuries cut up for scrap and other machinery spread haphazardly, awaiting destruction. It is orbited by one moon which is home some of the best ship engineers and builders in the sector. Given the generally inhospitable nature of the world, most of its population of the world was comprised of scrappers, who made their living breaking down and selling the trash left on the world. The scrappers often tipped platforms full of junk into the Z’Fithpa Maw and harvested the waste products for profit. Cybozus’s surface was crisscrossed by high-speed transport trains that delivered supplies from the scrapyards to the spaceports, where they would then head out of the system.

.23 Fael

The planet’s laws were few, though punishment for violation of those that do exist is a swift banishment. Organized crime was non-existent on Fael, except for smugglers of antiquities. Smugglers of these ancient artifacts were dealt with harshly when caught, receiving a facial brand, and exiled as enemies of the planet.

In more recent times three new pod racing tracks were created within the frozen region of the planet and draws many a visitor to see the races as well as to seek out its markets filled with art of every type, included textiles and tapestries made of Fael silk, it is believed that the robes of the jedi was made from the silk.

Orbital Metrics: 331 days per year / 26 hours per day

Population: Population: 2,000,000,000 (27% Human, 63% Others)

Major Cities: Jidla

Khimai is a sprawling urban moon locked in a perpetual eclipse, trapped in the shadow of its parent planet, warmed by geothermal power, and lit by the blood gold hues of the Nebula. At least, when the smog clears long enough for the stars to shine through. Otherwise, the ruddy haze of neon lights and the glow of death sticks is all that lights the way through the murk. Khimai was not always this way, but a century ago the planet was staked against his vast gambling debts to the Hutts – and lost.

Since the takeover of the planet by the Hutts, Khimai has become a sordid backdoor into Sector and the prime source of vice and spice. The sprawling towers are filled to the brim with hapless peons, slowly choking and mutating in the foul chemical broth they call air. Gas masks are essential. Organised crime is rampant, corruption ever-present, and suffering to be found on every corner.

.27 Vorzheva

Orbital Metrics: 303 days per year / 25 hours per day

Population: 680,000,000 (82% Human, 18% Others)

Major Cities: None

Vorzheva, a beautiful if relatively small deep-blue world speckled with clouds, Vorzheva was comprised of tropical, volcanic island chains rising from clear, shallow oceans. The oceans being surrounded by extremely rocky archipelagos. Vorzheva’s beaches were tranquil and idyllic, and some led into jungle canopies filled with flora and fauna which offers natural protection. In the last few years, the Empire has constructed a large security complex across a collection of landmasses that are connected by sandy tombolos and artificial transit tubes. The region was surrounded by a volcanic island covered in jungles, and the central islet housed the monolithic Citadel Tower. The entire planet is covered by a planetary deflector shield that could only be entered via a Shield Gate which is raised and lowered to allow space traffic to the surface.

.28 Heliomes

Orbital Metrics: 355 days per year / 27 hours per day

Population: 330,000,000 (30% Human, 70% Others)

Major Cities: None

Heliomes is an oceanic planet whose atmosphere featured enormous amounts of electromagnetic interference in its upper levels. The planet’s gravity, while below standard, possessed unique anomalies that resulted in the formation of many massive stone pillars across surface. The pillars, which reached high above Heliomes cloud layer and were often large enough to contain entire cities on the plateaus and mesas that topped them, were riddled with complex cave systems. The pillars and caves were home to both Heliomes native wildlife and numerous deposits of minerals, these minerals have powerful warping effects on electromagnetic and gravitational fields. Heliomes is also the home of a gravity hook station as it is the only way to get from orbit to the surface because of the gravity of the planets effect onto ships.
