Planet Name: Karuth (Kah-Roo-f)
Planet Type: Aqua Planet
Habitable: Yes, due to two constructed cities
System: Core Worlds
Terrain Overview:
There is a lack of land on Karuth due to the fact that 74% of the planet is covered with water. However, the water also have mountains poking out. Even some volcanoes in certain areas. Which many take the task of climbing, making it an attraction. Under the water there is vast space; meaning that bases could be built, and collection of natural remedies. So like Manaan, they also get an income from medicines. However there is natural land on Karuth, known as the snow plains. As after time, ice have built over the water, becoming thicker and thicker. And because of the cold climate in that section of the planet, snow has fallen down, making vast lands of snow and ice. Many call the natural land of Karuth vast but yet useful, even if covered with water. TGOP (The Galactic Order of Prosperity) however are using everything to their advantage. And are making credit by credit everyday.
The inner cities on Karuth would be classed as posh and extravagant. But also expensive, and money draining. But it's all worth it as the cities are beautiful with plants and trees growing and always has a cleaner roaming the city washing down dirty walls and floors. The cities in Karuth are a place full of joy and peace, and unless your in with the wrong people can be a very safe place. The TGOP make sure that the welfare and economy of the cities are kept at a high standard.

Notable Geographic Features: Snowy Plains, Mountains and Volcanoes and 74% of planet being water.
Capital City:
Aquacattore
A very beautiful city, with a very clean economy. The city has huge trees sprouting everywhere, with plants growing close to them. It gives it a very tropical feel, even if the temperature is artificial; as they have solar panels on the roof of all buildings, and everywhere has a heater in-between it's layers. However The Galactic Order of Prosperity runs the city with a firm grip, and soldiers are often saw roaming the paths. It's also a very "taxed" city so it costs to come in and to go. Storage also costs, so if you bring a ship it will cost you credits for storage per two hours. If your very wealthy, and want somewhere safe to go. This city is for you.
Major cities:
Rivverria
The city is smaller than Aquacattore, but has the base for Agents working for The Galactic Order of Prosperity, so crime is more frequent there. Rivverria contains allot of crime lords and is better known for the Fringe section. Most people avoid coming here, those that aren't Fringe of course. However, the city is still a tax full place; so the Fringe have to pay allot more to stay there than Nar Shadaa. But Rivverria is the best place to EARN money for Fringe in the Core Worlds aswell. So it's a hard one.
Sentient species: K'Harrath, Humans, Adonihs
Non-Sentient species of note:
* Bloodfins
* Faa
* Ray
* Laa
* Firaxan
History:
Long ago, around five thousand years ago the planet was just ocean, no cities, nothing. Everything survived underwater, including the more dominant species K'Harrath, which at the time was a more advanced aqua creature. The first settlers on Karuth would've been the first passing Humans who needed somewhere to camp out. They decided that the natural mountains would be a good spot to set up tents and so on. The Humans left the planet weeks later, shortly after figuring out that all the creatures underwater didn't play nice. But shortly after, the K'Harrath climbed the banks onto the mountain, realising that it was good for shelter. Later on the K'Harrath evolved to become more intelligent, and faster on land.
At first mere camps were set up along the shore of the mountains, some even dug into the mountains and made homes from what materials they could. The K'Harrath learned to hunt and to fight without the need of more advanced technology. But obviously as expected, the Humans returned, but in numbers. The K'Harrath didn't feel happy of their presence, and obviously having their own language couldn't tell the Humans. It ended in a gory war, were the Humans used blasters and other technology whilst the K'Harrath used spikes of rock, wood and huge stones. Eventually the K'Harrath won, but with a loss in their numbers. The K'Harrath stole the equipment that the Humans had and used it as their own. When as some others took the ships and after using the manual left the planet.
Years later the K'Harrath had developed, they were progressively becoming more intelligent. And then many of the people who had flew away returned with metals and other items. And soon enough the K'Harrath managed to make proper clothing and armour. They built two small colonies; the Huang and the Luang. Which in the future had wars and they didn't trust each other. However a man named Kuraction Sterling (they used last names based on the Humans) took a crew and went off to other planets. He started up an organisation called The Galactic Order of Prosperity and used Humans and K'Harrath alike to build the two cities known as Aquacattore and Rivverria, and then Larzomag Sterling (Kuraction's son) took control of TGOP.
Then with the war of Karuth, TGOP was wiped out, leaving the Adonhians to have control of the planet.
