It is connected by two marble like bridges, and filled with only the best amenities, highest tech, and greatest security the planet can offer. Beyond that city,
• Major Locations: Soltarum is the largest island on the planet, and holds the majority of the planets population. The sister Islands Tutara and Jutara are about half the size of Soltarum, and are the major food producers for the big island. Their production is mostly fruits and vegetables, though off the coast of any island are brimming with fish that make up a large part of the Solgari diet. Beyond that, most of the other islands are for harvesting crop or minerals. Civilization beyond the capital is still in impressively built cities and towns, dotted across the populated islands and all connected by an interplanetary satellite system.
POPULATION
• Native Species: The Solgari
• Immigrated Species: Humans, Duros, basically any species that tends to travel the galaxy.
• Population: The main Archipelago is Heavy, while the smaller islands range from uninhabited to moderately inhabited.
• Demographics: 85% Solgari, 6% Human, 9% other species
• Primary Languages: The main language is Solgari, but Basic is very popularly spoken to outsiders as X is a very complex language.
• Culture: The Solgari are an interesting dichotomy. On one hand, they are proud and noble warriors at heart. From the Emperor themself to the lowest worker, each wishes they had a blade at their side and for their empire to return. Yet, they also are a people renowned for their arts and entertainment. Alcohol, music, poetry, and fencing are among the most fondly looked upon things in a Solgari's life. But they are also merchants, always looking to get the best deal. Each member wishes to ascend the ranks, and to an extent will do anything to do so. Their diet is mostly fruits, vegetables, and fish, which gives the majority of the population a very clean diet. The Solgari religion is complex, filled with many gods and goddesses. Many are just past (or even present emperors) and many gods have been killed and replaced. The only five main gods who seem to be sacred enough not to replace are; Vishnii (the goddess of the tides and fish), Uulshok (the god of the skies and wind),Tsali (goddess of light, the sun, and heat), Oogam (the god of life and death), and Treenoc (the god of nature).

GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY
• Government: The government is split into two branches, one consisting of the Emperor and their Royal Court and the other consisting of Conclave. The Conclave itself is the only check against the Emperor, and is made up of the heads of all the major houses as well as leaders of the Ministries and powerful corporations. The Conclave acts similarly to a Senate but but Emperor overall has enough power to sway decisions they disapprove of. The succession of the title of Emperor is given to the heir of the current Emperor, though if they have multiple children or heirs it tends to go to the favorite or (if the Emperor does not select one) the Conclave may select an Emperor Regent until a new Emperor is found. Most of the time, however, the new Emperor is the head of the Conclave, who represents the royal family.
• Affiliation: They are apart of the Rimward Trade League
• Wealth: Wealthy. For most of the planets history, they have been able to sell their items for prices many wouldn't think possible because their quality. The purity of their precious metals and crystals are renown, their alcohols are of the highest quality, and and their opera has always been popular through the galaxy.
• Stability: High stability, the citizens all respect the government as it has brought the planet prosperity for thousands of years. Being a major trade partner with many planets, it is rather safe for travelers in the planet.
• Freedom & Oppression: This tends to change with every dynasty. The latest dynasty has seen freedoms and free speech not only enforced but encouraged. All sorts of art, music, and the like have been allowed, though if there are direct threats made against the Monarchy or the Senate there may be an investigation.
MILITARY & TECHNOLOGY
• Military: The planet itself has a standing, well equipped military and a planetary shield. In Orbit there also are defence platforms, but that is all mostly the rear guard. The navy may not be the largest or the most elite in the galaxy, but it is very well funded and can hold out for some time against some other galactic powers.
• Technology: Galactic Standard, but with a lot of curves
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Solgari are ancient per say, but they are still rather old. They were born on the planet, and looked to the stars knowing they were born for greatness. Before they could conquer the stars, however, the Soltarumites discovered other islands and began to spread their influence. This was not always through warfare, but many times military might had to be shown to convince the other islands to negotiate an alliance. This put the warrior's spirit in the Solgari, and soon the islands differences were put behind them as they discovered space travel.
Before the Clone Wars were ever a twinkle in the Sith's eyes the Solgari Empire stretched its wings, their shadow covering as many as fifty systems at one point. This period is what the Solgari remember fondly and reminisce about greatly. They were a proud war machine then, their honor tested time and time again in battle. The Solgari felt Invincible at the time, but before long they discovered the Galactic Republic. A longer range survey ship was sent out from the Republic, which encountered one of the Solgari worlds. These scientists were brought to Solgari Prime itself to meet with with Emperor, who wished to meet with their government. This coalition was many times larger than the Solgari could have Eben imagined possible, yet they still were treated with respect by the giant. With the introduction to the Republic brought great trade, pleasures, vices, and influence from other powers.
The influence slowly crept up to the royal family, and soon led to a line of weak rulers. The Solgari Empire began to shed planets, slowly at first, as their military was reduced to increase spending on luxuries for the nobility. This led rebellions to not be put down and all the territory the Solgari fought for to be lost. The planet was all the people had left... so they had to conquer another way. Their focus now became on conquering others through finances, vying to become the greatest merchants the galaxy had seen.
This plan was going well, expanding their operations as far as their supply lines would allow them to. During the Clone Wars and the Galactic Empire, the Solgari always found themselves neutral. Their profits rose during this time, and from then on they found themselves expanding and growing their influence, yet always wished to go back to the olden days of their empire.
