[SIZE=11pt]Randu - Capital[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Randu, the capital city of Agloria, is a thriving economic hub. Home to the main spaceport, where most visitors to the planet first disembark. This creates a lot of trade in the city of Randu, causing a lot of wealth being given to Aglorians.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Aglorian Palace - Home of the King[/SIZE]
The Palace is placed atop a hill on the outskirts of Randu. The King and the rest of the royal family resides here, along with the servants and various others.

[SIZE=11pt]Population: Moderately populated.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Demographics: 85% Aglorian, 14% Human, 1% other.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Culture: Daily life, military, religion and royalty.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Daily Life:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]A day in the life of a typical Aglorian would be considered dull by most. They wake up, head to wherever they work, go home to their families then rinse and repeat the next day. While there are many opportunities for entertainment, especially in the larger cities, it is incredibly difficult for an Aglorian on the lower end of the spectrum to find the funds to attend. This often leads to depression in Aglorians that are sitting at the poverty line, as they cannot afford any entertainment and instead must work to support themselves or their families.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Military:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Service in any armed forces is highly respected by the Aglorians, as they are a very warrior driven society. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Religion:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Religion plays a part in the culture of the Aglorians as well. They hold a pantheon of Gods, which each have temples throughout the various cities of the planet.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Royalty:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The royalty of the Aglorians has a say in everyone's everyday life. Lead by the King of the Aglorians, there is a royal family, Arterialis, which stretches wide. Sons, daughters, uncles and cousins, all royalty has their own domain. Royal men usually hold some sort of military or political office, while royal women are typically spokespeople, or more commonly just a friendly face.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Government: Monarchy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Affiliation: Marcus Arterialis.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Wealth: Medium, their exports bring in a decent amount of credits.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Stability: Medium, the houses of Agloria sometimes go to war with each other over land or resources.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Freedom & Oppression: It typically depends on where one is located, as some lords are more authoritative than others. But overall most Aglorians are typically rather free.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]MILITARY & TECHNOLOGY[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Military: There are many different fighting forces on Agloria. You have the Aglorian Army, which stands and fights for the current King and his government, then there are the individual House guards, fighters for each royal house.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Technology: Galactic Standard, slightly behind due to distance.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]HISTORICAL INFORMATION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The first few centuries of Agloria were spent in solitude. The then tribes of Agloria held their territories and led simple lives. Occasionally they would war with one another, perhaps erasing a tribe or relocating them with the winner taking land. Few of these original Aglorian tribes still survive as royal houses today, as many couldn't stand the test of time.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]As technology advanced on the planet, so did the scale of wars. At this point, much of the world was held by one tribe or another. One tribe in particular, named Artinis, was a known aggressor. Over time, the tribe Artinis would take land by force. Now a force to be reckoned with, the tribe rearranged it's governmental system, becoming a monarchy led by House Arterialis, loosely translating to “life blood” from Aglorian.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The fresh House Arterialis posed a threat to not only their neighbors, but just about every other tribe on the planet. Rather quickly, tribes banded together and each alliance formed essentially a new country. Having changed the entire ruling structure on the planet in just a few short years, House Arterialis did what their neighbors had been expecting: they expanded.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Through many conquests over numerous generations, House Arterialis eventually stood above all else. Those that surrendered early were granted not only their lives, but typically a portion of land depending on their competency. Those that drew out the fighting, costing many lives on both sides were not so fortunate. The leading families erased from history, and their towns razed.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Even with legal control over essentially the entire planet, traitors stood against House Arterialis. Uncountable civil wars have broken out throughout the history of the monarchy. Upstart houses vying for power, advisor turned traitor, or straight out major house started a long and bloody war to earn the throne. The result was essentially the same for each of these traitors: death.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Force sensitivity played a key role in the advancement of houses on Agloria. Sometimes, a young heir being force sensitive or not could make a break the future of a house. In the case of House Arterialis, nearly every heir was sensitive to the force in one way or the other. This gave an enormous leg up in the early days of the tribe and the monarchy. Even now, an Arterialis general leading the army toward an enemy gave the soldiers the morale needed to find victory.[/SIZE]
