OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
  • Intent: To flesh out a new stage for future threads.
  • Image Credit: Here.
  • Canon: Not Applicable.
  • Permissions: Not Applicable.
  • Links: Elzeri.
SETTING INFORMATION
  • Star System Name: Tantalos System.
  • Region: Tingel Arm.
  • Accessibility: Surrounded by an insurmountable storm of meteors that come from the space beyond the Known Galaxy, the Tantalos System was once the proud site of an important mercantile petty-kingdom, but time and patience had destroyed that. As the galaxy expanded itself and turned its gaze upon new worlds, this place became forgotten, they say that the Tantalos consumed itself, as it disappeared from the galactic scenario, and every attempt of reaching the system ended in disaster. Its current meteor storm has endlessly run through the system's borders for more than three thousand years, no one knows why they never came inside the system, as the storm flies around its gravitational pull, not towards it. Additionally, planet-sized carbonbergs can be found in this system, slamming into each other, creating massive havoc, crushing everything in their path.
  • Description: Once the pride site of a petty kingdom with great wealth, the Tantalos is now a violent, cruel, and ruthless place where the few that enter so rarely come out alive. In the past, five planets occupied the system, all inhabited by an advanced civilization of great wealth and power, yet now, only three remain, as silence fell over the Tantalos and its planets became forgotten places of legendary fortune, while no visible threat can be seen, the system has also proven to be a major site for the purrgil species to meet for mating and feeding purposes, causing the area inside the system to be filled with massive hoards of clouzon-36, the Tantalos System was originally called Astania Home, or Asta System (and it still is on some governments), the name was given due to its star, a colossal giant yellow star classified as the galaxy's third greatest sun. A star so large, that it would take about a rotation just to circle it around in lightspeed.

SYSTEM FEATURES
  • Great Astarla - The system's only star is but a colossal giant yellow star classified as the galaxy's third greatest sun. A star so large, that it would take about a rotation just to circle it around in lightspeed.
    • The Endless River - The continuous influx of meteors from the space beyond the edges of the galaxy is said to travel all the way to Tantalos, surrounding the system with a natural and powerful natural shield of unknown origins.
      • Udûne (Celestial Body I) -With a habitable atmosphere, the planet is divided into three continents. According to the tales, the planet has volcanic lands, frozen capes, deep forests, tall mountains, large rivers, and more. Were it not for the myth surrounding the death of most of those that tried colonizing this place, this could be regarded as one of the most fertile lands in the entire galaxy, for Udûn was once the site of many human colonies, all that were eventually destroyed, consumed and burned to the ground. The Sith Empire itself avoided any interaction with this place for centuries to come.
        • Ixl (Celestial Body I.I) - Udûn's only moon. A moon that is regarded as being so large that it can be mistaken as a small planet. The moon was given every opportunity of hosting life, evolving to support the growth of wild and savage beings without any desire or will of bowing down to any external rule. The moon of Ixl was once the site of a small sect of the Sith Order that went extinct nearly two thousand years ago.
      • Temeria (Celestial Body II) - Once a proud and beautiful lush green planet, Temeria has become a frozen land where the cold can freeze a snowtrooper within minutes. So rarely it can be found any means of surviving the cold, a sentence brought upon this place by the extinct alien species that lived in this place, which according to the myths was caused by a terrible war that the species held against each other, forcing the luxurious planet of Temeria to be raised to the ground, locked in a perpetual winter. Its depths are filled with volcanos, while its inhabitants have found ways of surviving beneath the snow inside the gargantuan depths of mountains and tunnels. The ruins of the extinct civilizations still cover Temeria's landscape, hidden by the heavy snow of centuries of blizzards.
      • Verdenia (Celestial Body III) - Once the thriving site of a prosperous civilization. The planet of Verdenia was destroyed in an internal struggle leaving nothing but its remains floating in the Tantalos System, most of them rich in minerals and ores.
      • Tantalos (Celestial Body IV) - Formerly the system's main planet. The planet of Tantalos was destroyed in an internal struggle leaving nothing but its remains floating among the stars, most of them rich in minerals and ores. Songs of the Destruction of Tantalos had once reached the edges of the galaxy.
      • Zamonda (Celestial Body V) - A green jungle world of unparallel beauty in all the galaxy. Filled with deep tundras, nigh-infinite savannahs, millions of rivers, fertile fields of green grass, peaky mountains, and tall hills, with stretching large deserts on its southern area. Zamonda is a fertile, beautiful land best famed for its volcanic continent, where kilometer-sized fields carved with crystals and precious gems can be found, gleaming the beauty of the stars.
      • Daedeloth (Celestial Body VI) - Surrounded by aerated layers of dark mist. Daedeloth was the elzerish equivalent to 'Planet of Demons', where is said that shadows, darkness, deep gleaming black rivers, nasty dangerous swamps, humid profound forests, and peaky gargantuan mountains can easily be found. A dangerous planet where its inhabitants dominate the area with an iron fist, butchering outsiders and sucking the lives out of offworlders with delight before tearing them apart for their own amusement.
SECURITY
  • Low - While possessing more than enough resources to protect itself, the System remains almost completely unguarded and empty. Not only because of the purrgil presence found in most places among the stars but also due to the endless influx of meteor showers that bathe this place, scaring ships away from this place. A natural powerful force some might say protect this system from outsiders, while others may claim that this natural defense serves only to keep this realm forgotten and away of progress eager reach.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION

Not much regarding Astarla's history is known. Once it was occupied by a highly advanced society of unparallel technology that roamed the stars, conquering planets, said to have mastery over the Force and to be deeply connected with the Dark Side of the Force. Eventually, this species destroyed themselves when they ignited a machine that decimated two planets inside the system, leaving them powerless and causing a massive chain-effect that lead them to their extinction. After that, Tantalos Nebulae as it was called was left to its own devices, with its sentient natives having more than enough room to prosper and thrive on their own.

The system was used as a refugee camp for many species throughout the ages, most of them were wiped out by its resident alien races, while some found room to prosper and coexist 'peacefully' with each other. A place of lower technological standards than those found in most areas of the galaxy, Tantalos Nebulae's inhabitants prefer a simpler lifestyle where they can live out of the land and out of their own production. Since spaceships are rarely found in this system, most offworld trade is bound to certain ethnicities such as its Zygerrian Slavers that keep most trade within their hands as they are one of the few that have vessels for transportation within their control.

The Star Children established a colony on Tantalos Nebulae, as it was their way during the Great Pilgrimage. The colony eventually abandoned its attempts of settling on any of Tantalos's planets, making its home on the frozen lands of Temeria, for time and distance have kept them away from their kin even in this modern times when they already have conquered their planet back, causing to become stranded in this land forever. Now, with the coming of a new shadow, Tantalos Nebulae holds its breath wondering what sort of horrors awaits next.
