LOCATION INFORMATION
- Capital City: Nzuri {Forsaken}
- Planetary Features: The world of Sandala has only one true city, which has long since been abandoned by it's people. Now, the planetside is riddled with settlements, large and small, which make up the tribal population of the world.
- Major Locations:
Nzuri: This is Sandala's one true city. It was once a mighty capitol for the Sandali Empire. Following the fall of the Empire, the city was abandonded when it's inhabitants fell back to their individual tribes. For years, the many tribes warred for supremacy over the city, however when it became obvious that no one people could hold the city it was forsaken by the Sandali people as a whole. Serving as a silent reminder of the failure that was their once mighty Empire. The city itself was constructed over hundreds of miles. It was originally a mountainous settlement created by the Jiwe tribe, however as more and more tribes came to join them it spread into the nearby plains and jungle areas, creating one city that spans numerous forms of terrain. - Jiwe La Angani: The Stone Village of the sky is the home of the Jiwe tribe. The Jiwe Tribe are a vast people who span a number of mountains on the planet of Sandala, however Jiwe La Angani is the home of the Jiwe Warchief and their greatest elders. This city is built along one of the many mountain ranges, connected by giant swinging bridges, this village covers several miles and is an impressive home for the Jiwe warriors.
- Moyo Wa Maji: The Maji Tribe, or the sons of the water, are perhaps the most well defended of all the Great Tribes. The Moyo Wa Maji is a great river that runs from Sandala's only ocean, and spans over three thousand miles. This river is deep, nearly ten miles deep and is the host to a number of underwater caverns. These caverns can lead to the Maji tribes underground settlements, however only the Maji have ever successfully navigated these underwater caverns.
- Makaburi Ya Tembo: The land of the lost is a sacred valley. Far removed from the most populated parts of the world, this is the Sandali's sacred burial ground. Not a burial ground of conventional means, all the warriors of all the Sandali tribes are brought here after passing. Their bodies are burned and ashes spread across the valley, so they may join the gods who were known to frequent those lands.

GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY
- Government: No established government
- Affiliation: None
- Wealth: Poor- Sandala, while resource rich, is an untapped world that has not yet moved into the modern technological age, making it extremely poor by Galactic Standard.
- Stability: Medium- While the tribes who maintain dominion over this planet are in a hostile relationship, the planet is not currently in major war. The planet is incredibly hostile to outsiders, as none of the Sandali tribes are friendly to off-worlders.
- Freedom & Oppression: Very few of the Sandali practice slavery or indentured servitude, making the world a "free" planet.
- Military: While the Sandali clans are extremely capable warriors, they do not have the technological advancements to defend the planet from a full-scale invasion. The warriors and their homes are defendable for a time, however against extreme technical advancements they are at a disadvantage.
- Technology: Significantly Below Galactic Standard.
Sandala has always been as it has been, a world built for it's people. The planet is one of the few features of it's system, making it the only point of interest. The history of Sandala before the Sandali came into being is unknown, as they appear to be the first sentient beings to inhabit the planet. There are a number of creatures on the planet that appear to have an origin off world, yet were settled here thousands of years ago, long before the Gulag plague and the galactic war. It is a stroke of luck that the planet has remained unnoticed, likely due to it being in the farthest reaches of the outer rim. In the times before the Gulag Plague, the Sandali Empire reigned supreme over the world, creating a planet with a unique focus of bringing honor to their gods. However, after the plague striked and the Empire was split, the tribes seperated once again, taking over their former territories and beginning the old wars they had thought to put behind them.
