SETTING INFORMATION
POINTS OF INTEREST
Trading Ports: Large mixed-species above-water cities and towns where Delfinos who founded almost all of them a thousand years ago when they were assisted in doing so by the Old Republic. However, depending on the owner or developer these unremarkable buildings of wood, brick, and thatch can possess modern amenities and comforts or none at all, with old-fashioned bakers, blacksmiths, fishermen, and tailors toiling next to modern droids and speeders. These trading ports are home to CRAF garrisons of various sizes billeted in a guarded barracks compound with a barracks, mess hall, motor pool, landing pad, hangar, and storage alongside defensive weapons on prominent display along the compound walls.
Piantan Underwater Cities: Almost-entirely Piantan-populated. These cities are made of a mix of large shells brought from their homeworld, water-proof bricks, and exquisite stone work. These cities can be massive, populated with as many as sixty million Piantans over many square miles. Usually these cities are found in shallow areas and are lit by bioluminescence from a variety of sources. They are usually not guarded by CRAF forces, rather it is the independent cities who deal with their own law and order, only calling upon their Crossroads protectors in extreme situations or when dealing with outsiders.
Tropical Islands: These islands are the ideal tropical getaway destination, with almost every shape and size being represented on this moon.
Coral Reefs: Colorful reefs of enormous size and are home to masses of marine life of every shape, size and description.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
A moon which has, for as long as written records existed, has been in a solar dance with its twin, Pianta. The Delfinos had worshipped the twin moon for most of their history, giving it its name which it is commonly known by. However, for the past two thousand years they have lost this religious identification, realizing it was just another unique moon as they developed telescopes and were able to communicate via primitive radios with their twin moon. The moon and its populace became a peaceful utopia, and its economy began to revolve around being a well-sought-after vacation destination. The moon's populace is remarkably peaceful, with the Delfinos being exempt from required military service in the Crossroads Republic Armed Forces due to logistics issues as well as their peaceful tendencies. However, due to the fact that Delfino is the CRAF's primary local source of baradium and chromium the world is well-guarded with troops, fighters, weapons batteries, and ships.
Delfino was caught in the Crossroads-Eriadu War back in the last days of the Old Republic, although Eriaduan troops were only on the moon for a grand total of six days before they were wiped out. This small battlefield is now overgrown and the moon's populace has no real inclination to remember this and doesn't want to be any sort of military staging ground, despite the fact CRAF's forces conduct regular military exercises on Delfino.

- Description: A moon which is locked into an orbital dance with its twin sister moon Pianta, with both moons locking themselves together, their gravity unable to repel away and their magnetic fields unable to make them crash together. The moon is tropical, with more temperate regions at the northern and southern polar regions which see occasional snow at the very polar regions. The ocean-to-land ratio is 60% to 40%, with most landmass spread out in large chains of volcanic islands which are around the twenty-two semi-active tectonic plates and a handful of hotspots in the middle of these mostly-basalt plates. These islands range widely in size, shape, and age, with some being volcanically active, others being new islands with great jungle highlands, and others being older island archipelagos covered in white sand and palm trees. These islands have numerous scattered cities, towns, and in the inland portions of the largest ones are farming communities with large orchards and farm fields. The biggest cities are the old walled Delfino cities which is the only remaining aspect of their past wars. The moon possesses large reserves of Baradium and Chromium in underwater mines which are domed with an elevator to the surface.
