You may also include orbital position, rotational period (length of day), and orbital period (days in a year) in this section. if you have submitted Astronomical Objects for this system, you may link them here, and if you would like to expand on the system in more detail, you may use that template to do it at your leisure. ]
• Location: [ This can be a screenshot of the hex from the map with a marker, or you can say that it is located "in X planet's hex" and give a general description of positioning. If you intend to add this planet to the Chaos Map please review the rules thoroughly.]
• Major Imports: [ What the planet frequently buys from other planets. Common materials and ores should just be listed (Ex. Durasteel ore), while anything special or rare should be linked. ]

• Atmosphere: [ Choose one of the following: Type I, Type II, Type III, or Type IV. Full descriptions of each can be found on the Wiki here. ]

LOCATION INFORMATION

• Capital City: [ What is the name of the planet's capital? ]
• Planetary Features: [ What are interesting artificial features of the planet? Ruins, interconnected cities, floating urban platforms. This field is used to sketch out artificial features, adding RP opportunities, but without the need for specific details like in the major locations field. You can also include if the planet is primarily Wild, Rural, Suburban, Urban, or a Mix. ]
• Major Locations: [ What are the major locations on your world? Include an explanation on each. ]
• Force Nexus (Optional): [ If you wish to add a Force nexus (light, neutral, or dark), you are required to justify it through your submission and history. ]

  Nexus Name: [ Name of the nexus if applicable. ]
• Nexus Alignment: [ Light, Dark, Neutral, Other (explain). ]

Stronger Nexus will be more closely scrutinized for balance and fairness during judging. Choose one: Weak (A weak influence on the area and the people on it. A fragile nexus that can potentially be altered by people or events, i.e. a lightside nexus could be corrupted by atrocity or a dark side nexus cleansed by the actions of a mass of Jedi.), Moderate (A moderate influence on the area and the people on it. Could be altered with a great enough event.), Strong (A strong influence on the area and the people on it. Powerful enough to be renewed in the event of a great cataclysm, and unlikely to be altered.) ]
• Accessibility: [ For Small, Medium, or Large Nexus only. Describe logistical information on how easy it is to find/access this location. Is it hidden? Is it isolated from society or is it in the middle of civilization? Is it guarded? Open to the public or private access only? Keep in mind that the Strength of the Nexus above must be reflected in this field. ]
• Effects: [ What sort of effects does this Nexus confer? An aura of fear? Reinvigorating those on the world? Perhaps it induced tricks of the mind, to test the visitors. These effects can be positive, neutral, or negative, and should reflect the nature and history of the Nexus. ]

• Wealth: [ Poor, Low, Medium, High, Wealthy. Describe, briefly, why. ]
• Stability: [ Low, Medium, High. Are there major issues causing unrest? Is this a planet of chaos or one of peaceful law-abiding citizens? Is it dangerous for travellers to visit or are you safe as an outsider? Describe the general feel and theme of any overarching government or rulers/leaders in this city. ]
• Freedom & Oppression: [ Describe the atmosphere of freedom on this planet. Are the people fairly free or is oppression of society and commerce heavy? Does it have a dictatorial ruler? Is fear of the ruling body prevalent? Relaxed and open? Is anything unusual illegal or permitted? ]

MILITARY & TECHNOLOGY

Is it a hive of scum and villainy with no discernible defense structure other than what it's inhabitants have to offer? Or maybe due to low tech the people here are still in the bronze age. ]

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
[ Include a history of the planet here. Be sure to cover the following information:
How was the planet discovered? How was the planet settled? When was it settled? Why was it settled? What major events specific to the planet helped shape its inhabitants to what they are today? If there is a Nexus, how did it come about and how did it influence the history of the planet?

Remember that these custom planets may be submitted to the map for the community to enjoy. The more background you set down, the more clearly others will be able to understand your view of your creation. ]

SECURITY
[ Provide a Security Rating (choose from: None, Low, Medium, High, Maximum) and any specific security assets in list format. What defenses does this location have, including internal and external defenses? Please note that the rating is relative to the type of location this is. A civilian shipyard will have a different scope in security, compared to a military shipyard. This should highlight the components of the shipyard itself, such as defensive shields or blaster turrets. There should not be entire armies or fleets detailed within the submission. Nor should it have enough armaments to destroy an opposing fleet. The security listed should reflect the model presented earlier in the submission. Shipyards with custom defenses not standard in a canon model and without a Factory submission will be referred to Factory. Please link rare or uncommon tech/equipment to the SW wiki article or Factory-approved submission. Common canon items do not need to be linked.

Note: You may also include or reference associated assets that are not attached to the shipyard, such as security patrols, but it should not be so comprehensive as to detail a specific army or fleet. The focus of this submission is the shipyard. If you need to codify an Army or Fleet you must utilize the correct Lore Template. You can then link it accordingly.]

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
[ Include a description on the shipyard's history here. Include who created it and why. Who supports this shipyards now? What purpose did/does it serve? For older shipyards you can include historical events from the Chaos Canon timeline or board history where appropriate. ]

SECURITY
[ Provide a Security Rating (choose from: None, Low, Medium, High, Maximum) and any specific security assets in list format. What defenses does this location have, including internal and perimeter defenses? Please note that the rating is relative to the type of location this is.
