OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To provide a location for the Capital of Brelor, Moon of Commenor
- Image Credit: By Derk Venneman
- Canon: No
- Links: Voph, Commenor, Brelor
- City Name: Brelor City
- Classification: Metropolis
- Location: Brelor (Moon of Commenor)
- Affiliation: Voph, Veiere, Kay Commenor
- Demographics: Mixed. Brelor City is primarily settled by native Commenorians, but attracts beings from all walks of life, leading to an often diverse and fluctuating population.
- Wealth: High. The moon has become a vacation hotspot over the years, attracting tourists from all corners of the galaxy, in addition to various agricultural ventures located around the moon. Following his appointment as Lord of Brelor, Voph promoted craftsmanship and art as a second source of business for the city, boosting its already considerable wealth further.
- Stability: High. Commenor already sports a near-Utopian environment on the planet itself, and its favored vacation moon is close behind. While not perfect, Voph has instructed that every effort should be made to ensure Brelor City is a safe and neutral place for civilians seeking time away from the rest of the galaxy. Weapons that come in or out of the city must be licensed, and any being found in possession of an unlicensed weapon faces permanent expulsion from Brelor City. There is, however, allowances for individuals such as Jedi who wear weapons as part of ceremonial garb.
- Description: Brelor City sits over a waterfall that feeds directly into the ocean, thus allowing the balconies and walkways along the western shore an unimpeded view of both the ocean, and the sunsets. The architecture is designed to fit with the landscape, not overrule it. The soft curves, tan structures, and green roofs are somewhat reminiscent of the City of Theed on Naboo. Much of the city is designed with pedestrian traffic in mind, with speeder traffic taking to the skies. A vast majority of the city is dedicated to entertainment and dining, with the occasional museum, craftsman's forge, or government building interspersed.
STARPORT:
The entrance to Brelor City, and for many, Brelor as a whole. Designed to field off-world traffic, the Starport is typically busy around the clock. Located at the north end of the city, it doubles as the connection to Voph's private home, Calyiu'r, and handles transport to the various resorts that are located around Brelor. Featuring the largest security presence of the whole city, Voph has adopted the mentality that trouble should be stopped before it has been given a chance to start. The Starport is the only facility on the moon that allows the purchase of weapon licences for off-worlders, but serves more as a pick-up point as anyone seeking to bring weapons into the city is required to notify Brelor City in advance. Any attempt to bring weapons into the city that are not properly declared in advance, or deemed to be of significant cultural value (IE, Lightsabers or relics for museum display), are denied without hope of appeal.
GOVERNMENT DISTRICT:
The location of Brelor's government, overseeing taxes, travel and weapon visas, as well as city maintenance. Voph keeps a small compound in this district to house nobles and dignitaries that are visiting for business, rather than pleasure. Voph also allows these individuals to utilize the space as a neutral meeting ground for various factions, governments, or even the other countries of Commenor, provided they adhere to the rules and regulations established for Brelor City.
ENTERTAINMENT AND DINING:
The western end of the city is home to many theaters, restaurants, bars, and other entertainment venues. The vast majority of the visiting population spend their days here, as hotels have been woven into the district, ensuring that a good time is never too far away.
THE STADIUM:
A large structure near the center of the city, The Stadium serves as home to many sporting events (provided they offer non-lethal forms of entertainment).
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT:
A rather small portion of the city, the residential district houses the permanent residents of Brelor City. Any Commenor native that owns a summer home within the confines of Brelor City is housed here, unless they posses the influence to own a beach-side property in one of the resorts, or waterfront in the Western District.
INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT:
A rather misleading name, the Industrial District is located in the southernmost reaches of Brelor City. Home to the forges and workshops of the various artists and craftsmen that ply their trades from within the city limits, the Industrial District is a well-kept and clean district, and tours are often given through the district, it being a tourist attraction as much as a work place.
SECURITY
Low
The City is protected by a token law enforcement group, an offshoot of Commenor's primary law enforcement division. Security is highest around the transport hubs and government buildings, but is often minimal inside the city proper with only the occasional two-unit patrol intended more as a visual reminder that the citizens and visitors are safe under the watchful eye of the Law Enforcement team. While trained to defend the city in the event of an attack, the security is not intended to repel an invasion on its own, and relies on the Commenor Mainland to provide military aid. In the event that a noble or other dignitary visits the planet, they must provide their own security if they feel the existing personnel are insufficient. If they are visiting to conduct business with Voph, he will divert forces away from the Starport to bolster the government building security, in addition to whatever security the visiting party contributes.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Brelor City was founded well before Voph's arrival, though the original founder has been lost to history. Originally established as an agricultural outpost, various private individuals banded together to transform the moon into a vacation paradise, including turning Brelor City from a small farming town into the bustling tourism node it is today. Brelor City was designed to provide an ideal get-away location for individuals from all walks of life, with some of the more wealthy individuals claiming a permanent residence. Surviving the Sith Occupation relatively intact, Brelor City saw a sharp decline under Sith rule, leaving the City with a somewhat muted atmosphere. With the occupation over, and Commenor a free planet once again, Brelor City is now able to rebuild the thriving population and tourism trade it once enjoyed.
Only one thing to take care of and we can stamp this along:
