[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Affiliation: [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6666666666667px]The Hands of the Shadow.[/SIZE]
Major Locations:
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Elysium: The planet’s largest city, Elysium is located in the northern part of the planet, in the grasslands. It features the planet’s biggest export: the meat of one the native wildlife, the Gorrain. This meat is considered a delicacy, and other planets paid quite a bit for it, which lead to Elysium’s rise. The city is one of the most prominent members of the Hoithean Confederacy.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=14.6666666666667px]The Hands of the Shadow Sanctuary: This structure can be found in the Last Chance mountain range, in the northernmost part of the planet. It is home to Hiothea’s resident religious nuts, the Hands of the Shadow; Force Sensitive assassins who eschew modern technology in favor of traditional methods and follow the edicts of ‘The Shadow’, a figure they believe is the embodiment of the Dark Side. Hidden in the mountains, few know of it’s exact location. This structure also features one of the most prominent features of the planet: A small Force Nexus, created from the torture and slaughter of colonists in 435 ABY. [/SIZE]
-
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px][/SIZE][SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Force Nexus: Created by the slaughter of several hundred colonists, this Nexus is only as big as the building it resides in. [/SIZE]
[*][SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Size: Area.[/SIZE]
[*][SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Intent: To assist the Hands of the Shadow in training their recruits and defending their home, as well as add interesting lore to their background.[/SIZE]
[*] - [SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Nowhere: Jokingly titled by it’s inhabitants, this settlement in the forest is little more than a trading post. Any product found on Hoithea has likely been through Nowhere at one point or another. The few inhabitants of Nowhere are very rich, and aren’t afraid to throw their weight around in the Confederacy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Culture:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Daily Life: Most Hoitheans work extremely hard for their pay, making sure that they have enough credits to put food on their table. Whether it be lumber, mining, or farming, the people of Hoithea are no strangers to trouble.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Government: The cities of Hoithea are united in the Hoithean Confederacy: an agreement between the cities to assist each other in dire times. Other than those situations, the Confederacy has little power over Hoithea.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Society: Made up of colonists, the society of Hoithea puts emphasis on hard work. Freeloaders are looked down upon, especially in the fringe colonies, where deaths from just about anything is common. Hoitheans are also determined to remain independent of factions like the Republic and Sith, believing their way of life is superior.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Religion: There are two major religions on Hoithea: belief in the Force, and the Way of the Shadow. Followers of the Way of the Shadow believe that it’s central figure, the Shadow, was a perfect being, and seek to carry out her edicts, which they refuse to share with heretics. The two belief systems constantly clash with one another, leading to a major source of tension on Hoithea. While it has not turned into violence as of yet, many on the planet feel it will, and soon.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Sports: When Hoitheans aren’t working, they’re playing handball, a game that involves a ball, two teams, and a large field. It’s huge on Hoithea, with several leagues set up depending on region.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]History: [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6666666666667px]The history of Hoithea truly begins around 400 ABY, when the first colonists arrived and founded the colony of Elysium. More colonists arrived over the next few years, setting up all over the planet. Hothea was a nice place, though one had to work hard to survive.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]But with the eruption of the Gulag Plague in 428 ABY, Hoithea found itself swarmed with refugees. Colonies were forced to expand, and the Hoithean Confederacy was formed to ensure peace among the colonies.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]But another bump in that plan was when the colony of Last Chance went dark, in 435 ABY. One militia was sent, but went silent as well after a week. Their one and only report confirmed that the colony was completely empty.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Two years passed, and the number of missing persons reports near Last Chance increased dramatically. A large force was assembled, and sent to investigate. However, the militia was ambushed and captured by figures in black armor wielding swords and the Force. They were taken to a large structure in the mountains, where they were introduced to ‘The Shadow’. She claimed to be the embodiment of the Dark Side, and that she had tortured and slaughtered the colonists to create a small Force Nexus that the structure was built around. The Shadow ordered the militia executed to strengthen the Nexus.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]Over the next four hundred years, the colonies grew into cities, and the Hands of the Shadow began trade with them. In exchange for food, the Hands allowed the colonists to mine the Last Chance mountains. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]After the end of the Darkness, Hoithea began opening trade and communications with neighboring planets, unknowingly letting the Hands aboard the trade ships, to spread their religion. It began to prosper, and credits flowed.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6666666666667px]However, with the Netherworld event, many Hoitheans dissapeared, plunging them into an economic crisis that took them the last six years to recover from.[/SIZE]
