Planet Name:Maraudias (mar-odd-e-ss), otherwise known as Veslavia
Planet Type:Terrain/Machine/Dried Oceans
Habitable:Yes But On The Edge.
System: (A4 on Map) Veslavia Notran- Northwest of Ilum
System Formation: 1 Sun and 7 Planets; Fuor (Terrain), Zesad (Ice), Veslavia (Terrain), Qinas (Terrain), Yarnis (Gas Giant), Eas (Gas Giant), Kluio (Gas Giant).
Moons: Remains
Terrain Overview:Welcome to the arid wasteland of Maraudias as it's known to the galaxy. This planet in legend used to be full of lush forests and pure blue oceans. Many people still think that's the case. Until you arrive. The native sentient specie has destroyed their home. The Xanesa (zan-es-the) wasted the planets resources even up to its oceans. The terrain you find is dead ,without life. The oceans old home are deep trenches full of more dead land, smoke, and mines from which the natives are sucking the last of the minerals they can find from. The deep wounds in their world have almost torn it apart so machinery holds it together. Large cities have built up, some the height of Coruscant's height. In other places machines stretch across the land planted in the soil killing the dying planet. Many mountains dot the dead land but their numbers dwindle as they're torn apart for their resources.
Climate: Maraudias originally had 2 seasons Lar and Shar're. Lar was a cold season where the oceans flooded and the average temperature was 65 degrees. Shar're was a hot season where animals would breed and the average temperature was 85 degrees. Sadly in its modern days both Lar and Shar're have died with the rest of the planet. Now the climate is always a heated 94 degrees because of the dying worlds atmosphere.
Notable Geological Features:
The Vanishing Sea: The resting place of all Maraudias' sea life the old seas of the planet are now deep canyons and trenches. Many mining operations have opened here after the oceans disappeared to collect the remainder of the planets precious minerals. Many undersea volcanoes are located here and are "harvested" for their fresh lava. Their smoke mixes with that of the mining facilities themselves and clogs the area making it incredibly hard to see there.
The Dying Kin: The last range of mountains on the planet, they reach extreme heights that have never been recorded. Sadly though they are known as dying kin because the natives tear at them everyday toppling them. In the end all but one will be destroyed. The highest one that hols the natives capital city.
The Assassin's Vengeance: This is the remains of the planet's one moon, Desces. It was long ago colonized by the Xanesa (the natives) for mining operations and nuclear testing. To much mining and bombing caused the moon to explode raining pieces down on the city of Rajka below. The ruins of Rajka are considered one of the few sacred sites the Xanesa have. To the Xanesa it is believed the moon was sentient and took revenge on Rajka because it was the city that started the mining operations on the moon and in death the moon took its revenge by destroying the city. Some parts of the moon still orbit the planet.
Notable Features: The Last Breath: Known as the hive to others these are a series of giant turrets with mismatched weaponry from what the natives have stolen. They number in the hundreds and surround their planet. They became known as hives because thousands of mixed-matched ships in huge fleets around the hive. Any warring people to attack this planet get swarmed by the thousands of ships strong and weak. These swarms stopped Republic and Imperial military from stomping on Maraudias.
Capital City:Wenaxtria: This city it the Xanesa's pirate capital. The tallest mountain in the Dying Kin mountain range is where this city is. Branching out of the mountain is a huge city of machines, buildings, mines, and more. The city is all built around the Spire. It is a huge tower that starts huge at the base and gets smaller as it goes higher. Like a hive there are holes everywhere in it where a pirate war fleet waits for a chance to strike at the weak. The top of the spire is home to the pirate commander of the Xanesa. On the mountain are mainly storehouses, junk heaps, and warrior homes. There are no shops or stores because piracy is the only job Xanesas imbrace.
Major Cities:
Rajka: This city was the main mining colony on Maraudias. It drained the oceans when freshwater was needed after the Xanesa polluted it all to deadly levels. After the water was gone they found many minerals and started the mining operations. This city also started the mining on the moon. Now the moon they decided to mine has rained down on them destroying most of Rajka and making it a sacred site of the Xanesa.
Turmois: This city is a huge space station where a huge black-market is run. Turmois is known by its slavery habits. Their pirate fleets constantly run through primative planets and take people by the millions. Turmois has a large elevator that reaches from the bottom of the station and reaches to the surface where Turmois' slave pens are. It's deep with slaves and filth. Plus volcanoes all around make escape pretty hard.
Novaton: This city is pretty small but is surrounded with armor and weapon factories. This city was the original place where the first space craft on Maraudia was created. They are known for reverse engineering any technology they steal on their raids. This city also has a deep underground tunnel system where the take minerals from the planet's molten core itself.
Sentient Species: Xanesa
The Xanesa are a ferocious specie of reptile cyborgs that dot the planet. They evolved from a sea-faring reptiles into bipedal creatures. They look like over-grown alligators with evil red eyes. The Xanesa had long been vicious in nature. Their government is a shifting dictatorship depending on who has the most power. If the Xanesa hadn't gotten off world they would have driven themselves extinct with all their petty power wars. The discovery of alien races and space flight led them to find what in the galaxy suited them most, piracy. They are no honorable people. The send their fleets out and take all they can. The only way the Xanesa survive is by stealing resources from other and ruining their colony planets. Whoever wields the most power in the pirate fleet now has power and anyone can challenge them to become leader as to continue wars within them would cause extinction and "kill" the profit and strength of their pirate empire. Xanesa ruined their planet and themselves as well. They couldn't adapt to their planets environmental changes. They decided to try cyborg implants. They became a tradition with each hatchling getting a set at birth and the set being updated when the Xanesa grew to a certain size. The average Xanesa is about 48% machine. Each Xanesa's implants are unique in a way. Some have blaster turrets on the arm that can be activated by brain waves. Some have rocket boosters on their backs. One thing common to all Xanesa is that they all have cyborg implants in their brains that make them more vicious, ruthless, evil, and merciless. The Xanesa grew a large pirate empire at first but then they decided to take some base planets in the Republic and Empire. Both retaliated and drove the Xanesa all the way back to their home system where the invasion fleet was finally stopped. The Xanesa have bad grudges against Republic and Empire personnel and want vengeance. The Xanesa still continue raids around the galaxy gathering a fleet for their vengeance. They call Maraudia, Velsavia from their native language meaning Pirate's Stronghold.
Non-Sentient Species: Many but they're all extinct.
History: Maraudia was once a lush and beautiful world with amazing oceans and unbelievable fauna. The Xanesa ruined the planet. The first city to be built on Maraudias was Turmois. Turmois became advanced developing advanced technology like war mounts and steel weapons. They began raiding the countryside for workers which would be influential in their cities history. Soon Turmois had control of much land but the other tribes would not stand for it. Soon more cities were built the largest being Wenaxtria. Soon the tribes started warring over land and power bringing out the vicious instincts in the Xanesa. As technology advanced the wars got worse. Once they began an industrial age the world was devasted environmentally. Forests were chopped and rivers were polluted. Acid rain poured down killing the flora and fauna and forever staining the terrain in an arid death. When the planet lacked minerals and fresh water the city of Rajka drained the oceans for both water and minerals. Wars during this tie almost reduced the Xanesa population to 0. The discovery of the final frontier stopped that though. Wenaxtria had control of the city that created the star ships and sent them off. They encountered a small traveling merchant ship on the way. They raided it and came back with goods, and technology never seen before (not to mention slaves). The king of Wenaxtria Lord Catrillo brought these goods to other cities and offered more if they joined him. Together they all became the Xanesa Pirate Syndicate. Lord Catrillo leader of them all changed over to a new system of leaders. For example Lord Catrillo became Grand Captain of the Syndicate while a random leader of a troop of men went from being general to Captain. They sent out fleets small but came back large with new ships, tech, and slaves. Soon they became known. A captain of the city of Turmois thought of an idea to get more slaves to Maraudias around this time. He sent out his men in different directions spreading knowledge of a lush wonderful world (before the Xanesa) bringing colonists to their doom They started building outposts to get stronger profits. They spread their criminal empire far and built the hives around and on Maraudias to house their large pirate fleets. Soon though the Xanesa got a little big-headed and attacked the Republic and Empire. They retaliated and drove the Xanesa out of their cozy little outposts back to the home system. When the Xanesa were driven back to their own planet Maraudias became a battle-ground. The Battle of Veslavia as it became known started out well for the Republic and Empire. They plowed through the system until they reached Maraudias. A few legions of ground troops landed before it started. The hives sent every ship out from the space and land. Forces that survived in Turmois called it a swarm of ships that blackened the planet. the sun, and system. It was terrible and very few forces survived. A few survived when they hid in Turmois after crashing there. When they arrived home they found the battle was hushed up. The Republic and Empire never filed battle files (at least not classified) because of their humiliating defeat by the Xanesa Pirate Syndicate. They just paid up survivors and families to keep their mouths shut of the matter. They didn't even bother to tell the truth about the rumor that Maraudias was still a beautiful lush world which gets many people trapped there. It got out though as the Xanesa wanted humiliate the Republic and Empire for desimating their pirate syndicate. Maraudias is now the site of one of the largest fleets ever and one of the largest black-markets in the galaxy.
