OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The planet was settled primarily to serve as a trade and resource hub for the Atrisian Commonwealth. The early colonists, a mix of merchants, shipbuilders, and fishermen, capitalized on the planet's natural harbors and abundant marine life to establish a thriving economy. The construction of artificial islands using advanced repulsorlift technology allowed for the creation of floating settlements, with Leonorea emerging as the capital by 2500 BBY. These early settlers adapted to the planet's unique geography, blending Atrisian architectural aesthetics with practical designs suited for an aquatic world.

- Major Locations:
- Shipyard: Designed to hover over the oceans and in orbit. The shipyards are sleek and beautiful with most being occupied by businesses that both compete and work together on projects.
- Palace: The golden palace with its vaulting tower overlooking the the royal bay of the Imperial city. Gilded with aurodium finishes and an open design to let anyone see it from a distance and act like a lighthouse when at sea.
- Leonorea: The floating city, built on artificial islands using repulsor and construction to stay up in one of the bays and secluded away.
- Slotter Key Harbor: The royal harbor of the city, lined with docks and houses built into the mountain sides.
- Native Species: Human (Kiliean)
- Immigrated Species: Human (Atrisian)
- Population: Heavy
- Demographics: Atrisian colonists that have slowly replaced the former population of the world through generations of
- Primary Languages: Basic, Atrisian, Kilia
- Culture:
- Kiliea's culture evolved as a blend of Atrisian traditions and local innovations shaped by its island-based environment. Daily life revolved around the sea, with fishing, shipbuilding, and trade forming the backbone of society. The Kilari developed a deep respect for their oceans, reflected in their art, which often featured intricate designs of waves, marine creatures, and celestial motifs inspired by the binary suns. Festivals celebrating the harvest of seafood and the launch of new ships became central to Kiliean identity.
- Sports on Kiliea included aquatic races and competitive sailing, with the annual Leonorea Regatta drawing participants from across the Commonwealth. Religion centered around a syncretic blend of Atrisian ancestor worship and local animist beliefs, venerating the spirits of the sea and the suns. Socially, Kiliean society was matrilineal in its early centuries, with women often leading trade and fishing guilds due to their roles in managing coastal communities while men ventured out to sea
- Government:
- Kiliean Matriarchy under Hel
- Kiliean Command Forces under Xiro Mohc.
- Affiliation: Atrisian Commonwealth
- Wealth: Wealthy: Economically, Kiliea became a powerhouse within the Commonwealth. Its shipyards, both orbital and ocean-based, produced advanced vessels and vehicles, while the development of Kiliean bolt guns—compact, high-energy weapons suited for naval combat—gained renown across the Core Worlds. The planet's proximity to a hyperlane facilitated trade in technology and raw materials, fueling its wealth and fostering a competitive yet collaborative business environment.
- Stability: High: Fractured but whole... the newly Risen Matriarchy has worked to stabilize much of the region while dealing with insurgant forces from rogue Atrisian elements.... but where they have gone they have managed to return a high level of order and stability.
- Freedom & Oppression: Divided into two areas, the rogue Kiliean military who has sided with Mohc to try and create a staging ground to overthrow Atrisia and the Kiliean Matriarchy formed after many of the male citizens were taken to serve as cannon fodder. The Rogue military elements are highly oppressive and confrontational
- Military: Heavy Military presence that have largely dethroned the planetary government and has split the military in two. Giving rise to the Matriarchy of Kiliea.
- Technology: Slightly advanced using upgrades from Atrisia for material fabrication, medical and food production.
Early Discovery and Settlement
Kiliea, located within the Kiliea system of the Atrisian Commonwealth in the Core Worlds and Southern Core region was first discovered around 3000 BBY by Atrisian explorers navigating the hyperlanes of the Core. The planet's temperate climate, abundant archipelagoes and Type I atmosphere made it an ideal candidate for colonization. Its binary sun system and rich marine ecosystems further attracted settlers seeking new opportunities beyond the crowded Atrisian homeworld. By 2800 BBY, the first Atrisian colonists established settlements on Kiliea, drawn by the promise of exploiting its vast seafood resources and strategic position near a key hyperlane.The planet was settled primarily to serve as a trade and resource hub for the Atrisian Commonwealth.

Major Historical Events
- 2400 BBY: The Great Archipelago Expansion
The invention of advanced repulsorlift technology allowed Kilieans to expand their artificial islands, transforming Leonorea into a sprawling floating metropolis. This period marked the rise of the Slotter Key Harbor as a major trade hub, with docks and mountainside homes symbolizing Kiliean ingenuity. - 1500 BBY: The Atrisian Schism
A political rift within the Atrisian Commonwealth saw Kiliea briefly align with a faction advocating for greater autonomy. This led to the fortification of its shipyards and the development of a robust planetary defense force, laying the groundwork for its heavy military presence in later centuries. - 500 BBY: The Golden Palace Construction
The construction of the golden palace in Leonorea, gilded with aurodium and designed as a lighthouse, solidified Kiliea's status as a cultural and political center. The palace became a symbol of Kiliean pride and resilience, visible from great distances across the royal bay. The Gulag Plague coming after the palaces completion and plunging the world itself into darkness witht he rest of the galaxy. - 860 ABY: The Sith Incursion and Rise of the Matriarchy
The arrival of a One Sith warlord marked a turning point for Kiliea. The warlord's brutal campaign decimated much of the male population, conscripting them as cannon fodder for galactic conflicts. This devastation fractured Kiliean society, leading to the rise of the Kiliean Matriarchy under Commander Hel. The Matriarchy formed as a response to the power vacuum with women stepping into leadership roles to resist both the Sith remnants and rogue military factions led by Xiro Mohc. The Battle of the Keyes, a pivotal conflict at Slotter Key Harbor, saw Hel's forces rally against Mohc's insurgents, cementing the Matriarchy's legitimacy.
