- Canon: N/A
- Links: Brask'ari'sabosen, Chiss Ascendancy, House Sabosen
- City Name: Ch'avz
- Classification: Capital City
- Location: Sposia, Chiss Space, Unknown Regions
- Affiliation: Chiss Ascendancy, House Sabosen
- Population: Heavy
- Demographics: Chiss (95%), Human (4%), Other (1%) - Historically, Chiss in general are a xenophobic society. Sposians tend to be more conservative so this would be true of most who call Ch'avz home. Outsiders would need to prove themselves through merit before being openly accepted as equal.
- Wealth: High - The Chiss Ascendancy as a whole provides a basic income for all its populous. The individual Ruling Families contribute additionally through their respective enterprises. Sposia has been governed historically by one of the major Ruling Houses and thus is one of the more affluent worlds in Chiss Space.
- Stability: High - Being the capital city, and the center for the Law and Justice of the Ascendancy, crime is relatively low. Also, over the years of being governed consistently by the same major Ruling House, except for a few short periods of time, has brought a secure environment for Sposians to depend upon.
- Freedom & Oppression: Chiss living on Sposia and particularly in Ch'avz, are treated fairly and with respect according to their merit. Sposians tend to be more conservative and xenophobic though. They too take the ideals of the Red Flame seriously and frown upon those that do not.
- Description: Ch'avz is the capital of Sposia. The large city is built along the western shores of the Great Sea of Sposia on the main continent mid latitude. It has a coastal climate experiencing four mild seasons. Along its back side is a snow-capped mountain range with green valleys scattered here and there. Ch'avz has a renaissance flair to it in the architecture and the way the residents appear and act. Sposians take great pride in their capital city and it shows in how it is kept up. As far as cities goes, it is very clean and well maintained. Getting around Sposia itself and to/within the capital city is mainly done by a hovertrain system and/or land speeder.
Academy of Arts and Sciences - Ch'avz is home to the main non-military educational center for the Ascendancy teaching excellence in the arts and sciences fields to the Chiss people. The Academy's primary building is the pinnacle structure of the cityscape.
Rizin'ci Medical Center - Rizin'ci is the premier deliverer of healthcare and cutting edge medical research in the Ascendancy. It prides itself in the latest technology and innovative treatments to bring about favorable patient outcomes.
Law and Justice Complex - The Judicial Circuit Court and Law Enforcement Headquarters for the Ascendancy are located in Ch'avz.
Great Sea of Sposia - This large body of blue salt water surrounds the main continent. It is abundant with sea life, which is used as a major food source though fishing is restricted so as not to deplete the natural resource nor pollute the ocean. Naturally occurring kolto beds can be found in the dark depths of the tropical waters near the equator and are equally monitored as well.
Sposia Spaceport - The major spaceport for the planet is located at the far northern edge of the city limits along the shoreline. It can handle a limited amount of light freighters and small corvettes along with private shuttles.
Sabosen Estate - On the outskirts of Ch'avz to the South, the Sabosen family has a large plot of land that sits atop the cliffs that overlook the sea below and goes inland to the foothills of the majestic mountains that run parallel to the coastline. The main house is where Syndic Mitth'oru'sabosen and his daughter, Brask'ari'sabosen, live. There are several other smaller houses or "cottages" on the property as well for other members of the Ruling House to reside should they choose to. There are landing pads located across the grounds as well as a small, private underground hangar built into the cliff wall near the main house. A varietal grape vineyard and rose garden add to the estate's lush and green manicured grounds along with outdoor recreational courts for sport enthusiasts.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Historical records through the lore of House Sabosen show that the Chiss world of Sposia began to be populated in and round the year of 5000 BBY. Most settlers came to the western shores of the main continent where the fertile mountain valleys and bountiful sea provided food and other natural resources to the red eyed, blue skinned near-humans.
As the city grew in numbers aided by the forming of clans or more so Ruling Families, Ch'avz, meaning 'ocean' in the Chiss' native language of Cheunh, soon became the capital of the planet.
When the Chiss Ascendancy was formed, House Sabosen was the first major Ruling family to take charge of the law and justice, health, and education of the people. Because of this, Sposia but more so Ch'avz, became the center for those societal roles, making it one of the most influential capital cities in Chiss space next to Csaplar on Csilla.
The Gulag Plague along with the tyrannical occupations by the One Sith, Iron Empire, and more recently the Jen'ari Empire took their toll upon the residents, but the resilience of the Sposians saw that the city continued to thrive even during these dark times.
After the Chiss Civil War of 856 ABY, stability was once again found with the governance of the steadfast Sabosen family as they were re-instated as a major Ruling House once the Qell family was demoted when found guilty of treason against the Ascendancy for their plotting with the Jen'ari for personal gain and power.
Today, Ch'avz is once again growing and prospering, and is consistently voted across all categories as one of the best cities in Chiss space to live and raise a family.
