The Meldarians celebrate the advancement of their species in major moments of their history. There is the Feast of First Light, when they’d discovered electricity. The Day of Travel, when they’d invented flight and some space travel. And the Celebration of the Cyber People, when the first of their robotic laborers and servants. The only other thing they celebrate is there belief that their sun is the birthplace of creation, that being The Mother Sun celebration. After being awoken from stasis by the Republic they started a new celebration known as the Day of New Life.

History:
The Meldarians advanced roughly the same rate as human, a little bit faster having not gone through anything like the Dark Ages or Reissuance. As they advanced the sun Hulionus was slowly reaching the point of a deadly nova which would wipe out everything on the surface. 10,000 years ago the Meldarians developed an underground complex to try and preserve their species, the first of many. They were only able to finish one and were forced to save the 2,000 survivors while the others were wiped out. The last of the Meldarians were kept in stasis while their robotic servants stayed active to preserve them until the planet could be considered habitable again. Eventually they were awakened by the Republic, having stumbled onto them, and welcomed back to the galaxy after being asleep for so many a millennium.

Notable PC's: None yet
Intent: To act as home planet for the Meldarians and to be new ally for the Republic.

I’m liking this a lot. Suspended animation and disasters are a good background to explore.

My only niggle with this is that it wouldn’t be a supernova, because that’d destroy the entire planet. Make it a regular nova (caused by the star expanding then shedding matter) and the star a white dwarf, and you’re looking very good.
