It appears that Q-27, which appears on the map at the very bottom, was lost and never recovered. As far as I can recall, this is Q-27.

Name: Q-27

Region: Wild Space
System: Unnamed
Suns: 1, yellow main sequence, unnamed
Orbital Position: Habitable zone, only planet
Moons: 2, small
Coordinates: Already on map
Rotational Period: 27h
Orbital Period: 340 local days

Class: Terrestrial
Diameter: 12,600km
Atmosphere: Type 1
Climate: Temperate
Gravity: Standard
Primary Terrain: Largely oceanic and tropical. Many small islands and archipelagos.

Native species: Standard assortment of oceanic and tropical creatures
Immigrated species: Human (99.9%), Brodo Asogan/Griebleps' Species (1%)
Primary languages: A very old dialect of Basic
Government: Acephalous familial groups, fishing villages with village elders
Population: 5 million
Demonym: As nobody visits Q-27, and as the people of Q-27 are not aware of the outside galaxy, no demonym would be appropriate
Major cities: None; the planet has no cities
Major imports: None; the planet has no contact with the outside galaxy
Major exports: None; the planet has no contact with the outside galaxy
Affiliation: None; the planet has no contact with the outside galaxy

Culture: The acephalous culture of Q-27 is decentralized, prone to variation. A few broad patterns include, for example, a powerful respect for hospitality and generosity. Though declining an offer of food and hospitality is a good way to offend, most inhabitants of Q-27's islands are slow to take offense. War, a social construct, is basically unknown, limited to occasional family feuds and livestock heists between islands. No army has ever been raised on Q-27. Local culture venerates family, keeping one's word, and the power of wind and ocean. Navigators are highly respected, as are the deepest divers, the most skilled sailors, and especially elders. Marriage rites involve simple promises before an elder, and matching, complex arm tattoos from wrist to shoulder. Spousal abuse, harm to an elder or a child, and murder are punished by ostracization, generally resulting in being sent away in a boat. Holidays do not exist, but feasts and festivals are common, usually related to family events or fish migration. These feasts are always potluck.
Technology: The planet's apex technology is the long-range catamaran, made of wood, palm-frond fabric, and leather. Metalworking is limited to softer and more easily melted metals; steel, for example, does not exist on Q-27, though some iron and bronze tools can be found. The main form of transportation is the boat, generally a dugout canoe.

History: Like most idyllic bits of paradise, Q-27 has a lead lining, a secret. This secret is not known to its inhabitants. In 70 BBY, a Brodo Asogan extragalactic mission crash-landed on Q-27. The survey mission, and the Brodo Asogans who eventually recovered it, decided to invisibly shape the beliefs and social constructs of Q-27 to see if war could be entirely removed from civilization. Since then, nothing has changed on Q-27. The planet's civilization is peaceful, but Brodo Asogan influence keeps it from progressing technologically. As a result, life expectancy is not especially high, and medical advances are dependent on local herbs and such.

In the modern era, the salvager and explorer Alna D'Lessio stumbled upon Q-27 by accident. She landed, acclimated to the world, learned to fit in as a native, and kept the planet secret -- a secret which grew even more imperative when she discovered that the crust contained massive amounts of aurodium. She eventually brought Jorus Merrill there; it was according to Q-27's traditions that they were married, and that was the world where she and Mara took refuge when Jorus acquired a massive bounty. They discovered the Brodo Asogan monitoring mission there, hidden within a cloaking device, but chose not to interrupt it, disgusted as they were.

Q-27 remains an unknown planet in uncharted space.

Intent: To restore Q-27 as a place for quiet RP
