Major Locations:
- Gates of Partialwa
- Standing high on the southern continent of the planet, the Gates of Partialwa are a majestic building made to serve as the door to the former Àndruil Kingdom and to keep the rest of the continent protected. It is made of obsidian and is manipulated to stand against any kind of natural disaster. The gray monoliths and the gate between them are majestically decorated to match the Àndruil King's royalty.
[*]Dereana Forest
-
[*]
- While all other continents have cities of some kind, the whole western continent of Exagora is covered with the magical Dereana Forest. Consisting of only evergreen purple-leaved trees, it has a magical and romantic feel to it, making it one of the most beautiful places of the whole planet. It is the home of the most wonderful creatures of the planet, as well as the birthplace of Extramaton species.
[*]Ruins of Eleadar
-
- These ruins are a strange phenomenon often associated with the will of the Force. The ruins of the former quintuple towers of Exagora Knowledge Centre Library have no base or are attached to the ground in any way, making them levitate in the air. The towers themselves still have their upper levels full of books and other relics and still have their archaic royal decoration on the outer walls. The scientific explanation to the levitation, however, is a far weaker gravity than everywhere else on the planet. The gravity in this area has become so weak that it can't keep the towers on the ground, yet still manages to keep them from flying away.
[*]Vulnar
-
- One of the two capitals of the planet and the former capital of the Àndruil Kingdom, is one of the most powerful and largest cities on the planet. It houses the Parliament of Exagora and all ministries of the government. Its centre was built on a mountain and the old part of the city is still situated there, but it's expanded to nearby land, all of that connected with bridges. Laws about the city's expansion are extremely strict, from the fact that the city must be nearly perfectly circular to the law that states how tall the outermost buildings have to be. In the exact middle of the city, the Temple of Enlightenment is situated. The city is mostly known for its nighttime beauty when the temple is so bright it lights up most of the city.
[*]Gearag
-
- Gearag is the cultural and the second capital of Exagora, as well as having been the capital of Rethum Kingdom. The city is the home of the Supreme President's estate and the Court of Justice which serves as the supreme court of the planet. The city is built in a valley and a river crosses through the middle of the city. If the other capital's laws about expansion were very strict, then this one's main priority is not to keep expansion very tight, but rather keep an eye on the general architecture of the city. Among these laws is the requirement for all buildings to match the overall architectural theme of the city, as well as maintain the natural shape of terrain and nature around it, which is the main reason why the University of Gearag standing in the middle of the city has a waterfall running through it and why many buildings look very interesting and sometimes even have trees growing inside them. The city is the opposite of Vulnar, being the most beautiful at daytime.
Culture:
Exagora and its species are extremely well-developed and highly cultural, spending a lot of time philosophising, studying and making art. Every establishment and settlement on the planet typically has some kind of a library and schools for all ages to provide every person on the planet with what Exagori culture thinks should be granted -- a way of learning and educating. A huge percent of the planet's citizens work in academic fields, hinting more to the fact that these people like thinking more than acting.
The planet is united under one government which holds the same name as the planet itself. The government would be classified as a presidential republic, although the Supreme President's power is practically endless. The legislation of the government is in the hands of the Parliament of Exagora which consists of three houses and has a total of 75 members who occasionally have parliament-wide discussions as a council in the planet's capital Vulnar. The executive power is in the hands of the Supreme President, although he also has a Prime Minister who controls the ministries of the government. The judicial power is in the hands of the Court of Justice.
The daily life of the planet's inhabitants is quite complex as the younger citizens typically go to school and have very detailed schedules and those who have found themselves a job mostly handle very rigorous matters. Like mentioned, most of the people living on the planet do academic work while droids handle the agriculture, mining, production and other services. It is common for a person to spend their free time in the numerous museums and libraries of the planet.
Speaking of museums and libraries, there are many of them on the planet. As the planet focuses heavily on culture and arts, it has a huge amount of art galleries and museums which provide people the essential boost of inspiration and culture. All art- and culture-related buildings are free to visit, as per Exagori Civil Rights Law which states every person must be able to be cultured and educated.
As people live a rather stationary life and do more thinking than moving, sports are nearly non-existent, although people enjoy watching how other people play sports. The only sports Exagori people themselves do are those which need a lot of thinking, e.g chess. They, however, have a military which, most of the time, has absolutely nothing to do. Although being extremely large in size, its members typically live daily life and it's nearly impossible to tell if a member of the society is serving in the military.
Society of the planet is rather accepting and tolerating to a certain degree. The planet is not an utopia it looks like. Civil rights are held dear, although the universal rights of the planet are lacking. Besides the rights for education and culture, there is no real work done against poverty, unemployment, lack of transportation, housing problems and lack of food. Emotionally, people are living a happy life as per studies and research (with 86% of people replying they are feeling successful and enjoy their lives (studies didn't include economic success)).
People of the planet are generally tolerant about race, species, cultural differences, gender and sex, sexuality and religion, although there are a lot of people who do not feel like different people should be protected. Political ideals, however, are things people do not often talk about due to a huge amount of abuse and harassment in case of being different. Government of the planet is also very eager to shut down all rebellions and difference in political views. People do not have a lot of political rights, all speeches against the current political state of the planet are censored.
Exagora doesn't have a Force-user order, though. Force-sensitivity is widely ignored and if a person does know they are sensitive to it, they typically find a way to educate themselves about it away from the planet either independently or via joining a faction which trains Force-users. The people and government of Exagora do not have preferences about it and are neutral in these matters.
Technology: Galactic average
History:
The beginning of the planet and life on it are practically the same as every other planet. However, the most important parts of history begin at about 200 BBY when the planet and its numerous cities and establishments started forming alliances. People of all continents started bonding and forming allegiances until at 47 BBY, most of the planet was divided between two major kingdoms: the cliché evil Àndruil Kingdom and the cliché good Rethum Kingdom. The two started a war, both of them wanting to have all the power of the planet.
The war lasted for a long time and many people died until the planet was hit by the Gulag Virus which destroyed a huge amount of the planet's people. After the Four Hundred Year Darkness, all people who had lived during the two kingdom era had died and the new generations wanted to live a happy life together. So they formed the Republic of Exagora which was ruled by the Supreme President who slowly turned into an Absolute Monarch. The head of state title became hereditary.
In the upcoming years, the planet made it through a huge cultural advancement. Although the planet had been extremely well-developed at this subject even before, cultural advancement hit the all-time high at 844 ABY and the Golden Age of Culture on Exagor began.
Notable PCs: Currently none.
Intent: To create a new interesting planet to fill the map, as well as give story opportunities and, ahem, planets for factions to dominion over.
