- Taw'am: The second planet of the Harahr system and a rocky only slightly smaller than Ahk-Ourobha. On its surface are small pools of liquid water containing simple single celled organisms which are poisonous to ingest. There are several large colonies on its surface from previous attempts at terraforming the planet, now its just a mining colony. Taw'am has two small moons.

- Major Locations:
Abbahdah
Abbahdah is the largest city on Ahk-Ourobha with a population of sixty three million souls. It is located in the northern polar sink as it is the lushest part of the planet, it is even said to even rain in brief and rare stints during the winter months. The city is a metropolis built into a large crater carved by ancient glaciers and is styled after the tiered structures of Coruscant and other ecumenopolis. Abbahdah has five tiers and stands almost one hundred meters tall, the highest most tier reserved for government and business interests as well as the wealthy who can afford lodgings with necessary environmental support to prevent the building from getting too hot. The lower four tiers are not segmented by wealth like the top tier with middle class and poorer districts intermingling both horizontally and vertically.
It is only from Abbahdah that Dust is exported from the planet under strict guidelines and supervision from planetary law enforcement. This monopoly on the planet's premier trade good has long cemented Abbahdah as the wealthiest city. Public transit is easily available through city-wide bullet trains, water is free and easily available, and there are always well paying jobs available for those who possess the education needed for clerical or engineering work. Off-world corporations are also known to operate in the city, many trying to court the government for lucrative Dust harvesting and shipping contracts which are limited to less than a dozen to prevent over harvesting of the rare resource. Local and off-world businesses often compete legitametly and illegitimately to get these contracts, there have even been records of corporations funding gangs who sabotage rival corporations.
The Imperial Palace, once the home of the Bedlariim Padishah, now acts as the main senate hall for the planetary government. Senators work from within the venerable halls of the Imperial Palace and meet in the once audience chamber to discuss matters of policy and diplomacy. While the Bedlariim Empire has long since crumbled to dust these Senators often consider old Imperial territory as under their command and actively seek to collect taxes from and bully the governments of worlds once belonging to the Empire.
Naatha Hive
The largest population of non-Bedlariim are the Geonosians of the Naatha Hive. Several hundred millions Geonosians live in a collection of spires on the south-western fringe of the northern plateus, descendents of an old Confederate colony on the world during the clone wars. The Naatha Hive continue to specialize in droid manufacturing and have a roaring business with the locals and local worlds. The Bedlariim and Geonosians of the Naatha Hive have a long history of fighting together from the Clone Wars and onward into the armed resistance agains the Empire. Even during the Sterilization of Geonosis the Bedlariim came to the defense of the Naatha Hive and secreted away several of the Hive's queens into the Great Desert to prevent them from being killed by Imperial Forces.
Now the Geonosians of the Naatha Hive have a begrudging respect for the Bedlariim and are respected in turn. The Naatha Hive even has several representatives in the Planetary Senate and assist in planetary defense with cheap droid legions.
POPULATION
- Native Species:
- Intelligent Species: Bedlariim
- Fauna: Thahbalahn, (WIP)
- Flora:
- Immigrated Species:
- Intelligent Species: Devaronian, Geonosian, Human, Nord, Twi'lek, Weequay, other small bands of intelligent species

- Population: Moderate: Estimates put the population at a little over four billion
- Demographics: A vast majority of the planet's population is Bedlariim with what aliens who have migrated to the world mostly living in the urban centers of the northern pole where it is much more temperate and the population is much friendlier to outsiders.
- Primary Languages: [ Include any languages primarily spoken on this planet. Galactic Basic is an example of a language speaking across the Galaxy. ]
- Culture: [ General overview of the inhabitant's behaviors. This should include information about daily life, society, arts, sports, religion. ]
- Government: Representative Senate: Communities from across Ahk-Ourobha send representatives to the senate in Abbahdah. The exact number of senators is ever fluctuating as communities join or leave the senate seemingly on a whim. This gives the government an air of being only a semi-legitimate planetary government and in ever fluctuating chaos.
- Affiliation: No Affiliation.
- Wealth: Medium: The northern pole of the planet is quite wealthy while the rest of the planet is fairly poor with some communities being little more than subsistance farmers or hunter/gatherers with access to technology.
- Stability: Low: While the urban centers in the north are policed and are relatively calm the rest of the planet is a dangerous wilderness where certain bands of locals will not think twice about killing and robbing off worlders.
- Freedom & Oppression: Liberty is a guarenteed right to inhabitants of Ahk-Ourobha, if only for the reason that those away from the centers of power are more than capable of attacking and overthrowing the planetary government. Most cities are semi-independent with their own laws and courts.
- Military: [ Describe the military capabilities of this planet. Is it completely demilitarized? A fortress world complete with heavy defenses? A space-faring world with a substantial navy? Is it a hive of scum and villainy with no discernible defense structure other than what it's inhabitants have to offer? Or maybe due to low tech the people here are still in the bronze age. ]
- Technology: Galactic Standard
[ Include a history of the planet here. Be sure to cover the following information:
How was the planet discovered? How was the planet settled? When was it settled? Why was it settled? What major events specific to the planet helped shape its inhabitants to what they are today? If there is a Nexus, how did it come about and how did it influence the history of the planet?
Remember that these custom planets may be submitted to the map for the community to enjoy. The more background you set down, the more clearly others will be able to understand your view of your creation. ]
