Major Locations: The Khisai city in the southern part of the planet is the only city on the planet. Conatining the bulk of the population, and commerce, it is enormous. It is built entirely of stone. It has many great promenades, up to 20 meters in width. It has large areas for ships of all sizes to land, great stone granaries, and dozens of cantinas and cafe's for all classes of life. Most of the buildings are no shorter than 20 meters in height, all made of giant stone blocks that the Zargon placed by hand. Overall the city covers 8 square kilometers, and it is all centered around the largest building, the Ta'Khant'Met, the assembly building. Its where the Ents meet so may times a year. It is built like a giant dome, larger than senate building on Coruscant, designed to hold tens of thousands of Zargon.
The Marysh'valt, is vast expanse of forest in the northern region of the planet. It covers hundreds of square kilometers, and is surrounded by tall steep mountain peaks. The trees here are enormous, up to 500 meters in width, and several kilometers in height. It is difficult to access despite its size, and know one knows what exactly dwell in there, there are only blood chilling legends.
The Kinsai'Ti is the only temple on the planet signifying the Zargon religion. It is enormous, nearly the size of the meeting building. It is on the equator, and has a ring surrounding consisting of one of every type of tree on the planet.
Culture: The planet is defined by two main regions. The northern hemisphere is filled with mountainous forests, and is where the largest and the strongest of the Zargon dwell. They occasionally send down shipments of Cacai wood to the south. The Cacai wood is a very resilient wood, that can take punishment from most weapons. The southern Hemisphere is also forested, but flat, and that is where the smaller, and more social Zargon dwell. They care for the great orchards that dominate large swaths of the flatland, and that is there main export. In the south is also the only city, Khisai. The Zargon govern themselves with a Republic, and 8 times every local year, the Zargon gather at Khisai to conduct business, both internal and external. It is the only time they will deal with newcomers who wish to work with them. The Zargon are pantheistic, and take great care of their forests, and love all living things in general. They often support peaceful causes, but beware those who needlessly clear trees in front of them. The Zargon of the north are the most likely to be militant. They are terrifying warriors, often over 7 meters tall, resistant to lasers, and incredibly string. But axes, lightsabers, flamethrowers, and the like, can be used effectively against them. There have always been few Zargon, so they are very tribal, each family group being led by a Patriarch. One who betrays his own family group in the south, is banished into a hard life in the mountains. Most of the Zargon live to be 1500 years old, though some have been known to pass 2500. The Zargon are also known to be slow in most things they do, which is often frustrating to newcomers. But the Zargon believe in the past, that nothing should be taken for granted, and every moment should be relished, and remembered.
Technology: The Zargon have never developed advanced technology, the most advancement being in agriculture. Weaponry is restricted to Cacia wood armor and shields, and stone slings, with which, a Zargon can fling a 500 kilogram stone 100 meters.
History: No one knows the origins of the Zargon, though they have many stories and legends. Nothing significant has happened in the planets history, except for the Great Divide. This happened 24,000 BBY, when many of the younger Zargon wanted change, a government, currency, as introduced by ancient Sith. The elders were in the minority, so they rebelled and made to the highlands. It is rumored that one of the original Zargon still lives in those hills, at over 25,000 years of age. But that is just a rumor. [too add more here]
