Directorate Officer
Ladies and gentlemen, if you have not read Corvus's announcement here, I will be running the upcoming NFU-oriented dominion.
I'd like to take this opportunity (since we have the spotlight) to maybe flesh out some of organizations or maybe even start them (I'm looking at you, GRIM), but also to potentially start developing some longer story arcs between our characters, if people are interested.
Is there anything that people would particularly like to see or do in this dominion? Any suggestions?
Our dominion will be aimed is Terrijo, which is pretty much a blank slate. So for the dominion, the following will be our playground.
Type: Isolated Jungle World
Temperature: Predominantly Temperate
Atmosphere: Type 1 (breatheable)
Hydrosphere: moderate
Gravity: Standard
Terrain: Jungles, oceans, mountains
Length of Day: 17 hours
Length of Year: 255 days
Sapient Species: Humans / Sullustans / various aliens
Starport: Limited Services
Population: 20 Billion
Planet Function: Natural Resources / Shadowport
Government: Theocracy / corporate
Tech Level: Feudal / Standard Galactic
Major Exports: lumber, tropical fruit, low-end manufactured goods
System: Terrijo
Description: Terrijo is a world of vast, lushious jungle only broken up by the occasional rise of stony mountain peaks and five massive oceans. Thousands of species of wildlife live in these jungles, from the obnoxious but vibrantly colored Del bird in the upper canopies, to the packs of predatory Gurrcats on the jungle's floor. There are three continents: Binior, Gessbenna, and Sulia.
Binior is the largest of the continents. Thousands of years ago, it was colonized by adherents of the Pius Dea faith fleeing from the Alaskan conflicts in a highly damaged cathedral ship which crash-landed in the nearby Ruias Ocean. These adherents have survived to start a civilization of their own, which retains an unusually high level of xenophobia compared to galactic norms. They are ruled by a council or religious elders in the great walled city of Raydu. Although their own technology is just getting past the feudal level, they have obtained some high-end technology by trading various hardwoods, fruits, and creatures with offworlders. Blasters are a status rank among them, but most of the locals wield old-fashioned blackpowder slugthrowers. [SIZE=medium]There is a group of "heretic" reformers on Binior who are interested in overthrowing the Raydu Council. They would like to establish a Republic-friendly government, oand maybe even join the Republic. The Republic has learned this from several of the offworlder traders who frequent Binior. Some of the reformers who are going to attempt the coup are actually motivated by noble reasons (more personal freedoms, connection with more people in the galaxy), while a good number of them would just like to have access to modern galactic technology and become part of the galactic economy. [/SIZE]Recently there have been rumors that the Raydu Council has obtained several starships and airspeeders through trading, through which they intend to carry out raids on the "heretics" of Gessbenna.
Gessbenna is the smallest continent, and located almost on the opposite side of the world from Binior. Several hundred years ago, it was colonized by Sullustans working for a subsidiary of SoroSuub. They predominantly live in underground cities that at one point were mines that supplied raw materials to SoroSuub. The sullustans there now operate factories for Gessbenna Corp, which is both a company and the continent's government, to make various low-end items for nearby but wealthier worlds, such as cheap clothing, mechanical components, and basic refined materials such as duraplast. While relatively sleepy on the outside, Gessbenna is a hotspot for sector crime, with many Gessbenna executives and enforcers looking the other way to visiting smugglers, pirates, and other fugitives for a bribe. Some of the more corrupt Gessbenna officials even work with these criminals in exchange for part of a cut of the criminal's profits. One of these groups, the Bloodcrest Pirates, has started to raid shipping from several Republic worlds, including Cyrillia. It is thought they might have a connection with the Hutt vessel captured by Republic forces there.
Lastly, the continent of Sulia lies at one of the halfway points between Gessbenna and Binior. It is primarily uninhabitated, though there are persistent rumors that it is home to a sizable shadowport, but there is no outside confirmation of this yet. The few probe droids sent to the continent by bounty hunters and government astrographers alike have never reported back. Sulia remains a mystery to the outside world
So what would people be interested in doing at Terrijo?
