GENERAL INFORMATION
Planet Name: Enos
Demonym: Enossian
Region: Outer Rim
System Name: Kaitos System
System Features:
Planets:
- Enos- The Kaitos system is home to only one planet, Enos. A large, barren, mining world which lingers close to the massive star, Kaitos.
- Kaitos- The Kaitos system was named after it's mother star, a massive Red Giant, it is the largest object in the solar system and the only star.
- Korin: The largest moon orbiting Enos, Korin is roughly a tenth the size of Enos. It hosts a small moon outpost, that powered Enos’ planetary defense system.
- Hax: The second largest moon, Hax, orbits Enos at almost precisely the opposite position to Korin. It is also host to a planetary defense generator.
- Asteroid belt: It is believed that Enos had multiple moons that eventually collided with each other. Over decades their debris was scattered to create a thin Asteroid belt that housed many of the planetary defense lasers.
Major Imports: Slaves, Droids
Major Exports: Durasteel, Alusteel, Silver, Adegan Crystals .
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Gravity: Standard
Climate: A dry, desert climate , due to the planet's close proximity to it's sun .
Primary Terrain: Desserts, Rock Valleys
Atmosphere: Type I
Major Locations:
- Designation Alpha Prime: Alpha Prime is the main city of Enos. Roughly 100 Mi2, it is not overly large and the population Is a little under two-hundred thousand, completely composed of droids. Once the city was used as the Hub for trade and shipping for Enos, however now it is no more than a giant storage unit. Aside from the solar charging stations the Droids use, the city is entirely composed of giant warehouses, used to store the many minerals the droid population constantly mines. It is located in the planet's Northern hemisphere.
- Mesa Starport: Much like Alpha Prime, Mesa Starport was once a thriving hub of commerce and travel. However in recent years it has been ninety percent decommissioned. The only bit of activity is the occasional freighter launched into space, to find the droid population fresh slaves and droids to increase productivity. Mesa starport is roughly two hundred miles west of Alpha Prime, separated by a vicious rock valley.
- Planetary Defense Station: On the planet’s Southern Hemisphere is a rather large solar powered station, that once diverted power to the planet's planetary defense system.
- Human Storage Facility: With the largest population on the planet, the Mass Human Storage facilities are a hellish culmination of lodging and preservation. The facility is on the planets southern hemisphere, far from any other structure. From a distance the structure resembles a grouping of skyscrapers, however they are more than that. At the storage facility humans are not given rooms or even dining facilities. When not working they are kept in small pods that preserve and reanimate their muscles, making them better prepared for the next days work.
- Mining facilities: The planet's surface is dotted with over a dozen mining facilities, manned by mining droids and human slaves. Most of the mining coves are average size and hold durasteel or crystal deposits.
POPULATION
Native Species: Humans, Banthas, DroidsImmigrated Species: Various Alien Populatiom
Population: Sparsely Populated
Demographics:
- Droid Population: 60%
- Human Population: 30%
- Alien Population: 10%
- Galactic Standard Basic
- Droidspeak
GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY
Government: Dictatorship
Affiliation: N/A
Wealth: High- Based off of the ores gathered from the planet's mining operations.
Stability: High- Due to the structured work days, the stability of the planet is well maintained. In past years human uprisings would create minor friction, however the former inhabitants of the planet have long since lost the will to rebel.
Freedom & Oppression: The human population, has been entirely and totally enslaved and institutionalized by their droids masters. The will to fight the oppression has all but died, and the droids treat the humans as mere cogs in their workhorse.
MILITARY & TECHNOLOGY
Military: There is a sizeable security force, composed of security-grade battle droids. Though they are far from a military, they do present a notable presence in policing and securing the world. However, apart from the security droids and the planetary defense network, the planet is void of any true means of warfare. Aside from Civilian ships used for transport, the planet has no means of space combat.
Technology: The planet is dotted with industrial level technology. Perhaps in it's time it was the leading tech, however now it would mostly be considered outdated and near deadlined material. However it is still advanced enough to be considered modern.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Ayrtech was a prominent mining corporation before the devastation of the Gulag plague. After the plague struck the galaxy many of Ayrtech’s operations were lost in the calamity. The corporations leadership decided to consolidate their wealth into a new venture. A planet in the outer rim with the promise of untapped resources.
The purchase of Enos was swift and decisive, as was the planet’s colonization. It took years for the planet’s population to establish a city on the treacherous desert surface. A wickes terrain and difficult climate proved a worthy obstacle, however in time it too was conquered. The city of Sura, which would later become Alpha Prime, was born.
In the beginning the planet started off with a few mining operations near Sura, that showed large deposits of Durasteel ore. With the discovery, Ayrtech was able to gain a substantial loan from a banking corporation. With this loan they were able to buy thousands of droids to aid with the mining. Though humans made a large portion of the mining crews, loader droids, deep vein mining droids, and demolition droids were a valuable resource.
Soon the mining on the planet was spread over the surface, and lucrative veins were found everywhere. Over time more and more droids were requisitioned and more and more mines were set.
Of course, as with all things, there was always room for improvement. The Ayrtech leadership was convinced that more automated mining was needed, as well as someone to take control of the droids mining operations. Rather than find the perfect candidate to lead the mining operations, they decides to create it. An AI was designed to take direct control of the Droid and shipping networks.
A.M.I. , The Automated Master Intelligence program was constructed to quickly double the production rate, as well as indefinitely increase production in the future.
In the beginning A.M.I. performed perfectly, her innovations led the mining operation and Ayrtech to a level of productivity that was unseen in the aftermath of the Gulag plague. However, over time Ayrtech noticed a problem with their numbers. Pirates and poachers had caught wind of the large supply of ore on the planet, and soon they began to partake. Overcome by their greed, the Ayrtech leadership decided to have the planet’s moons and asteroid belt rigged with a planetary defense system, composed of an intricate web of lasers.
Any ship without an accepted transponder code would find itself entirely destroyed by the laser grid. While this solved the problem of piracy, it was the birth of an unseen horror.
With this new variable, A.M.I. calculated a way to multiply production nearly tenfold. Due to her obsessive programming, she was unable to resist the option before her. Taking direct control of the security droids, A.M.I. murdered the board of directors for Ayrtech. Immediately after she had open access to the planets operations, resources, and weaponry. However, more than that, she had free reign of the Droid population, which outnumbered the inhabitants terribly.
Undefended, the human population quickly fell to the droid security force. In the first 24 hours, the few humans to put up resistance were swiftly murdered and the others were enslaved within the mines. The Droid Rebellion lasted years, however the outcome was decided far before it's inception. With the humans enslaved, the Droid society, led by A.M.I. moved into years of productive solitude.
