- Planet Name: Crysalline (Real name: Borrikan-4)
- Demonym: Crysallian(s)
- Region: Outer Rim
- System Name: Borrikania
- System Features:
Borrikan - The star in the centre of the Borrikan system, it has a similar function to the Sun. It is from this star that the system's name is sourced. - Borrikan-1 - This rocky planet is quite a small one and it's use has not yet been discovered. On this planet, it takes 4 hours to fully rotate once and it a mere 20 days to orbit Borrikan. It is not suitable to host life.
- Borrikan-2 - Yet another rocky planet, this one is considerably larger than the previous. On this planet, a rotational cycle takes 28 hours and a moderate length of 245 days to fully orbit Borrikan. It is not suitable to host life.
Borrikan-2A - The only moon that orbits Borrikan-2, Borrikan-2A is quite a small one. It does not particularly serve a purpose, though it may be useful for masonry materials. With some aid, it could sustain life.
[*]The Barikkon Asteroid Belt - The Barikkon Asteroid belt is a large belt consisting of various large asteroids, the majority of which are hosts to precious materials and metals. Some of them even contain a metal unique to this particular Asteroid belt, named Barikkone.
[*]Borrikan-3 - Borrikan-3 is a gas giant, a similar size to Saturn. It is the source of the majority of gases that are used by the Crysallian people in industry. It has a very strong gravitational pull, similar to that of Jupiter. To fully rotate, it takes 31 hours and it takes a whopping 435 days to orbit Borrikan. Due to it's extreme gravity paired with it's unforgivable surface, it can not host life.
[*]Borrikan-4 (Crysalline) - Borrikan-4 (otherwise known as Crysalline) is the only currently inhabited planet in it's system. It serves as a home for the Crystalline Empire and it's assets as well as a diverse demographic of species both sentient and non-sentient. A day on Crysalline lasts 20 hours and a year lasts 267 days. This planet is suitable to hold life.
- Borrikan-4A - The first of Borrikan-4's moons, and the smallest, Borrikan-4A's surface consists entirely of water. It serves as Borrikan-4's backup water source in the event of droughts or similar disasters.
- Borrikan-4B - The second of Borrikan-4's moons, and the largest, is named Borrikan-4B. It is largely just a hunk of rock, serving no purpose.
- Borrikan-4C "The Metal Moon" - The third and final of Borrikan-4's moons is named Borrikan-4C or "The Metal Moon" by the natives of Crysalline. It serves as a mining moon for the Crystalline Empire due to it being rich in materials.
[*]Borrikan-5 (Dissandria) - The final planet in the Borrikania system is Borrikan-5 (or Dissandri, as it is named by the natives of Borrikan-4). It is yet another rocky planet that's surface is dry and dominated by volcanoes and lava streams. It irradiates a great amount of heat that can even be felt on Borrikan-4. A day on Dissandri lasts 48 hours and it takes 347 days to orbit Borrikan.

Tak'rahdan is unique in that it is the only well-developed city on Crysalline. It serves as the capital of the planet and houses the majority of the planet's government and businesses. On the outskirts of the city lies the main bases of operation for the planet's military and fleet. The city is known for it's unusual shapes and sound architecture, having no major incidents concerning it's architecture in years.
The Temple of the Crysalla

The Temple of the Crysalla houses the entirety of the remaining Crysalla species, the royal family of Crysalline. It is said that the Temple was the first of the many great architectural masterpieces that were erected upon the surface of Crysalla and is as old as the planet itself. It has been the home of the royal family for generations and has served as the grounds on which the entire Crystalline Empire has been built. Over many decades, all of the most vital decisions to the Empire's existence have been made here.
The Stones of Crysall

The Stones of Crysall are a shrine to the Crysallian god, Crysall. People tend to have funerals here to allow Crysall to take the corpse's soul to Crysallaha, the equivalent of heaven to the Crysallians. Once the funeral has ended, their name is engraved into the stones and their corpses are devoured by the flora, which use the nutrients of the corpse to further their life. It is also suggested that, once each year, Crysallians go on a pilgrimage to the site and pay their respects.
Rah'kodah Rainforest

Rah'kodah is a dense rain-forest that is home to a diverse population of non-sentient species. It is also rumoured to be the home of the great Ja'dehon, a very powerful jedi who disappeared decades ago. Nothing is particularly special about it, yet it is beautiful and the perfect hiding place due to it's complexity.
