SETTING INFORMATION
- City Name: Caer Reef
- Classification: Village (Aquapolis)
- Location: Commenor
- Affiliation: Commenor
- Demographics: Less than 1% Human/Near-Human. Predominantly aquatic or amphibian; Nautolan, Mon Calamari, and Quarren.
- Stability: High.
- Description: A village community beneath the equatorial oceans of the planet Commenor. Originally settled by refugees from Glee Anselm, the aquapolis has since been expanded with the addition of Mon Calamari and Quarren fleeing from the Sith Empire's rule of Mon Cala.
- Kit Fisto Municipal Building. The central spire anchoring the center of the settlement. The upper part contains a local spaceport, with lily pad-like landing bays that can accommodate small craft and light freighters. The building also contains the government offices for the elected mayor and staff responsible for the administration of Caer Reef. The building is pressurized in part to allow for non-aquatic visitors.
- Glee Town. The original structures and neighborhoods, constructed by the Nautolan ex-patriots fleeing from the Sith orchestrated war on their homeworld.
- The Reef. The newest neighborhood pods, expanding Caer Reef with the addition of housing projects designed to accommodate the addition of Mon Calamari refugees. These communities float in shallow depths, typically between 9 and 18 meters depth beneath the surface.
- Quarren Grotto. Synonymous with the slums, the Quarren grotto is a neighborhood housing project in the deepest part of the settlement. Receiving the least amount of natural light and subject to greatest atmospheric pressure. Its reputation as a slum is not deserved, but the result of the fact that the Mon Calamari avoid those depths.
SECURITY
Low. Security is handled by the Caer Reef Sheriff's office as a small, localized police force. Ray shields separate pressurized areas from those open to the aquatic environment. Primarily, Caer Reef relies on its location to protect it from outside attack.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The galaxy celebrated the collapse of the One Sith, but the damage had been done by the time the defeat had been dealt to the Sith. Glee Anselm, along with innumerable other worlds, had been scoured. It's people used in political power games between acolytes, fueling the competitions that formed the favorite entertainment of the Dark Lords playing their apprentices against one another. In the wake of the Sith occupation of Glee Anselm and the Anselmi Civil War that followed, many Nautolan fled in hopes of discovering some safety elsewhere in the galaxy. Many died in the attempt. A scant hundred managed to make their way to Commenor -- a predominately arid environment that featured meager oceans.
Securing land in the equatorial oceanic region, those Nautolan refugees built a fishing village that allowed the refugees to form a self-sustaining community of subsistence farmers. Over the next several years, the fishing village evolved into a hamlet that the Commenori began referring to as Caer Reef.
The settlement expanded with the sudden arrival and addition of refugees from Mon Cala, both Quarren and Mon Calamari. The addition of the shallow water Mon Calamari has caused a bloom of suburban planning, with affluent underwater communities popping up in the pod neighborhoods encircling the coral reefs around the settlement. Meanwhile, the abyssal dwelling Quarren expand Caer Reef downward, building further into the lightless reaches and hidden depths where the Nautolans only rarely venture.
