Planet Name: Dayrima Valestor Paxorium (Dayrim Pax for short)
Planet Type: Terrestrial, Varied
Habitable: Yes
System: The Paxorium System
Terrain Overview: Dayrim Pax, the only inhabited world in the Paxorium system, is mainly a rugged mountainous world, with only the continent of Orleos in the Eastern hemisphere being suitable for building a city. What little there is, however, is heavily populated by the planet's native species. The Western hemisphere is a bleak, barren place, devoid of all life, with temperatures below zero that make that side of the planet uninhabitable by organic life. The Northern hemispere is a largely unexplored area with almost no landmasses save for the icebound southern tip of Vay. And in the Southern hemisphere is the large continent of Saurd, which has been explored several times over by colonists hoping to find an area to settle. Nothing lives there save for the dying remnants of a more vicious, cannibalistic species of Freywulfs.
Notable Geographic Features: The planet's three major continents, Vay, Saurd, and Orleos are mainly compromised of giant mountains, (save for the Southern half of Saurd)which harbor several species of animals perfectly adapted for life there. Orleos, the smallest continent, was hit by a small asteroid millions of years ago. The mountains were obliterated in a large sector of the continent, and the planet's forests, which had lain crushed and trampled at the feet of Dayrim Pax's giant mountains sprung into the space, creating the planet's only true forest. This area, after being cleared by colonists, became the only area on all of Dayrim capable of supporting civilized life.
Capital City: Molim
Major cities: Molim, Hayman, and Tebril(detroyed)
Sentient species: Humans, Dayrimites
Non-Sentient species of note: The Freywulfs, large wolf-like creatues with glowing orange eyes and a lust for Dayrimite flesh. They rule Dayrim's mountains, and eat the only other species there, Torwoulgs, small, nimble herbivores that eat whatever sparse vegitation grows on Dayrim's mountains. A slightly diffrentiated species of the 5-legged Torwoulgs lives in the forests of Orleos.
History:
The Dayrimite species, the only native life on all of Dayrim, evolved from a deviant strain of the Torwoulgs, small nimble creatures that walked Dayrim. They slowly advanced along the evolutionary ladder, evolving and sometimes devolving, until they reached their finished form, a near-human species that lived in small hunter-gatherer tribes near the shores of Orleos' seas. They had basic weapons, and enough intelligence to hunt other creatures, but their mental growth was limited to that for several centuries.
However, the Dayrimites began to form a basic Feaudalistic civilization over the course of several centuries, until the forest was divided into several feifdoms, with the Mountains and the seas marking the end of the Dayrimites' known world, the Forests of Orleos.
After humans landed on Dayrim Pax in 4133 BBY and gave the gift of technology to the already rudimentary Dayrimites, who lived a hunter-gatherer life in Dayrim's forests, their civilization exploded. After only 400 years, their civilization, with the help of human colonists, had cleared out much of Orleos' forest and built the sprawling city of Molim, and it's sister city, Hayman. The Dayrimites lived their peaceful lives on the edge of the galaxy, in the fringes of Republic space, a tiny planet in the Republic, coexisting with the descendants of the human colonists who had landed on Dayrim Pax years before.
Then disaster struck. Dayrim Pax's human ruling family, the Fortyars, who had managed to get Dayrim into the Republic years earlier, attempted to open Dayrim Pax's first intergalactic spaceport, open to all. The Dayrimites, who had always lived a peaceful, quiet life, isolated from the galaxy, were outraged at this. They had quietly allowed the humans to take control of the land, beliving that they took care of the day-to-day politics of running a planet, but they refused to sit quietly anymore. A large faction of Dayrimites, calling themselves the Children of Dayrim, splintered off from the rest of Dayrimite civilization. They went to Terbil, a failed human colony, and began to set up operations. Daily, more Dayrimites streamed in as the Fortyars, outraged by the Children of Dayrim's actions, began to crack down on the Dayrimites.
And then the Jedi came. A single human, who remembered the legends his parents had told him of the Jedi, who battled injustice throuought the alaxy, had stolen a ship and gone in search of the legendary Jedi. His ship was discovered by a merchant ship which took him to Coruscant, where he pled his people's case to the Republic.
Four Jedi were sent to investigate the situation on Dayrim. Things quickly escalated over the next three years as the Fortyars accused the Children of Dayrim of treason and terrorism, and as the Children of Dayrim denied accusation after accusation and vice versa. One of the Jedi, on a diplomatic mission for the Children of Dayrim, was killed. The others then sided with the rebels.
Full-scale war broke out on Dayrim, ending with the bombing of Terbil and the withdrawal of the Jedi from Dayrim, but not before they helped end the Battle of Hayman. Shortly after, Dayrim seceded from the Republic, and began full-scale civil war. The planet is now ravaged ,with only a third of it's forests remaining.
