  • Permissions: N/A
  • Links: N/A
GENERAL INFORMATION
  • Planet Name: Draconis Reticulli
  • Demonym: Draconis Reticullan
  • Region: Outer Rim
  • System Name: Draconis
  • System Features: One red star known as Pyruas, which is orbited by three planets. Draconis Reticulli is the second planet, and is orbited by one moon.
  • Location: Bottom middle of the hex directly below Crytal Nest.
  • Major Imports: N/A
  • Major Exports: N/A
  • Unexploited Resources: Beskar
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
  • Gravity: Standard
  • Climate: Slightly colder than average
  • Primary Terrain: Oceans, plains, forests, deserts, mountains
  • Atmosphere: Type I
LOCATION INFORMATION
  • Capital City: Draconis Reticulli has no central capital city, as it is divided into several independent nations.
  • Planetary Features: Draconis Reticulli has thin planetary rings, which have influenced the planet’s culture since the first intelligent life appeared on the planet. It is also orbited by one unnamed moon.
  • Major Locations:
    • Unified Monarchy: This nation controls the entire Southeastern Continent, and has colonized many strategic territories. Its capital city and center of government is located on Garda Island. It is nominally ruled by King Hraloran XIV, but he has been steadily loosing power to a group of elected officials known as The Royal Senate.
    • Scovali Equalistic Empire: This nation controls most of the Northern Polar Region, and a decent chunk of the Northeastern Continent. Its capital city and center of government are located in what is roughly the center of Scovali territory. This government has absolute control over individuals, yet emphasizes equality of everyone. It has no absolute head of state, and government decisions are made in elections every ten days, which all citizens are required to vote in.
    • Ontaraxia Imperium: This nation controls most of the territory of the Southwestern continent and a decent chunk of the Northeastern Continent. It is fiercely militant, and is controlled by an absolute monarch known as the Fordrikara, who is treated as a godlike being. Public executions are very commonplace here, and most citizens live in constant terror. Out of the three most powerful nations of Draconis Reticulli, this is the only one which did not participate in the Third Total War.
    • Erkaluka Territories: This is a loose collection of territories on the Northwestern Continent which used to be united as one nation, known as the United Erkaluka Provinces. This nation collapsed due to a massive economic crisis, and the outbreak of a civil war. Now, there are at least five separate governmental organizations who claim to be legitimate. Criminal and gang activity is very widespread, and so are spies from the Unified Monarchy, the Scovali Equalistic Empire, and the Ontaraxia Imperium. Needless to say, this is considered a highly likely starting point for the Third Total War.

POPULATION
  • Native Species: Ashtars are the only native sentient species. They have two pairs of limbs. They stand with a bipedal stance, and have large feet for support. Their heads are also abnormally large, and are shaped like upside down teardrops. Their eyes are large, black, and shaped like narrow ovals. They have grey skin, which has a texture similar to rough cotton. They have very small mouths which are usually only visible when they are open, and they completely lack smelling organs. Their hearing organs are located on their sides, and look like a pattern of small black dots.
  • Immigrated Species: N/A
  • Population: Moderate (Approximately four billion individuals)
  • Demographics: As for as most of them know, the Ashtars are the only species of intelligent life in the universe, let alone their planet. However, neither is the case. While 99.99% of the intelligent life on Draconis Reticulli is Ashtar, the remaining 0.01% are alien spies and scientists, who operate in the shadows, slowly gathering information on the planet.
  • Primary Languages: Scovalian, Gardadish, Ontarax
  • Culture: Draconis Reticulli is a planet with many independent and unique cultures. A few prominent examples include:
    • Garda culture: This is the culture practiced by the Unified Monarchy. It places heavy importance on social customs, and loyalty to family, but individuality is surprisingly core to the culture as well. It has a long and storied history, with many customs having come and gone over the past 1500 years. This culture also places heavy importance on the worship of a large pantheon of gods. Two particularly notable gods are Soileh, the god of agriculture and Jastoniel, the god of the oceans.
    • Scovali Culture: This is the culture practiced by the Scovali Equalistic Empire. It places heavy emphasis on giving up personal freedoms for the sake of the greater good. Practitioners of this culture tend to live life in a minimalistic and barren way. People who place high value on material wealth and their personal appearance are considered as inferior or mentally diseased. This culture is very strictly agnostic, and religion tends to be an uncomfortable subject.
    • Ontaraxia Culture: This is the culture practiced by the Ontaraxia Imperium. It is very militant and strict. There is little room for individual error, and harsh discipline is used regularly on those who dare to make mistakes. The Fordrikara is treated as a godlike being, and defying his will is considered grounds for immediate execution without trial. This culture is even more ancient than the Garda culture, and historians are not certain how far back it dates to.
GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY
  • Government: Various independent nations
  • Affiliation: N/A
  • Wealth: Low: While some people on this planet are rich enough to afford things like large mansions and private aircraft, the vast majority are living in poverty. This is not helped that by law, nobody in the Scovali Equalistic Empire is allowed to have any form of currency.
  • Stability: Low In a nutshell, this planet is a powder keg just waiting to explode. There are three powerful nations who control most of the planet, and they all have access to nuclear weapons. You can probably figure out the rest.
  • Freedom & Oppression: Variable.
MILITARY & TECHNOLOGY
  • Military: This planet is equipped with around 30,000 nuclear bombs, which can destroy areas the size of a small city. Most of these nuclear bombs are meant for being dropped on land targets from aircraft, but a few are intended to be launched from submarines at land or ocean targets. Additionally, many nations also have large standing armies.
  • Technology: The most significant advancement here is the splitting of the atom. This planet has no space travel, and only very primitive satellites.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Draconis Reticulli is a rare example of an “untouched world”. Ever since life has evolved there, it has remained overlooked by the rest of the Galaxy, and its dominant species, the Ashtars, evolved completely on their own. After spreading across the planet, they eventually formed various nations, each with its own unique culture and political system. The planet has had three significant wars to date. The First Total War was fought from 664 ABY to 670 ABY. It had a significant impact on the Ashtars, but its effects were forgotten relatively quickly, and few Ashtars know very much about it. The Second Total War was fought from 862 ABY to 870 ABY, and was fought between an alliance between the Unified Monarchy and the Scovali Equalistic Empire and a nation known as Greater Quondalis. The alliance won after using nuclear bombs on most of the Quondalian cities, which were specifically designed and built for that purpose. The Ontaraxia Imperium also built nuclear bombs by stealing Scovali designs. However, nowadays tensions are very high between the three largest nations, and another war seems almost certain.

This is not all there is though. Ever since around the year 825 BBY, alien spies have been slowly infiltrating Draconis Reticulli. There is a large supply of pure Beskar under the planet’s Southern Continent, which is unknown to the Ashtars. This has naturally made the planet an item of great interest to all sorts of galactic factions. In particular, the government of the Unified Monarchy has been infiltrated by the Ashlan Crusade and the Elysium Empire. Meanwhile, the government of the Scovali Equalistic Empire has been infiltrated by the Eternal Empire and the Galactic Alliance. Finally, the government of the Ontaraxia Imperium has been infiltrated by the Mandalorian Enclave and the New Imperial Order. All in all, the planet is in a state of a calm before a storm.

Ham Salad Ham Salad I enjoyed reading through this one, I can see the effort you've put in. However, there are a couple of changes I'd like to see before approving this planet:

Location | There appears to be a typo on the planet name. It should read "Crytal Nest" rather than Crystal Nest. Would you mind correcting the spelling and adding the wookie link for the Nest to the planet name?​
Native Species | Are the Ashtar a custom species you plan on making? If so, would you mind adding a small description of what they are? I'm not seeing a current Code submission for them.​
Wealth | How would you define "rich" with a Low rating here? Would the "rich" beings have larger homes, faster modes of travel planetside? Do they get special ranks or privileges because of their economic status?​
Military | While it's good to note the nuclear power because of what you've stated in Stability, it doesn't encompass the military capabilities of the planet as a whole. Are there standing armies? Are there typical navies that operate in the sea rather than in space? If you'd like to go further, what are the military capabilities of the nations you've outlined and how is the military utilized in each kingdom/nation?​
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Feel free to tag me once edits are completed!
