GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Gravity: Standard
Climate: Temperate.
The equator hosts the hottest & most humid parts of Dremulae - which covers almost 30% of the planets surface. As you go North and South on the planet, about 60% of the planets surface, is fairly temperate with very nice seasonal differentiation that coincides with continentality. The other 10% is the polar regions or mountain peaks, which can be quite cold.
Primary Terrain:Jungle Rainforests, Forests, Grasslands, Hills, Mountains, with some tundra in the transition to the polar regions. Also, the planet has a very large ocean and several lakes, including the Sea of Translucency.
Atmosphere: Type I
LOCATION INFORMATION
Capital City: Cadelae City
Planetary Features:
Dremulae contains a variety of different features and is very heavily divided between the urban/city areas while the majority of the planet is rural or wild (in part due to strict environmental laws.)
The planet has a fairly urbanized population, with a very low rural population rate. As such, most of the population is concentrated in several major cities.
The two moons are barren, but have some minor mineral resources. Likewise, there are a few abandoned mining facilities. There is also several ruins, major cities, and previous tourist hot spots that are ripe for an archaeologist. Interestingly, previous refugee settlements use to be inside tourist hotels alone which provide a rich resource.
The planet also features a unique planetary ring that is visible from the planets surface. While there is no bases or such, there is plenty of individuals who try to see if there is any salvage or minerals in the rings.
Major Locations:
Cadelae City: Cadelae City is the capital of Dremulae. large, crowded, and heavily metropolitan the city holds the most people and the most industry. It is the star of Dremulae and is situated in an area that allows easy access to mountains, ocean, and jungle. The city also boasts one of the largest spaceports on Dremulae and is the primary port of entry. (Image 3 | Image 4)
Quantapharma HQ: The largest pharmaceutical company on the planet. Quantapharma hosts a variety of drugs, medicines, but mostly are research oriented. They do expeditions for plant life on other planets, research to ensure the drug works for whichever disease, and to find either a vaccine or cure for said disease. It also provides tremendous amount of charity to organizations on Dremulae. (Image 5)
Sea of Translucency: The Sea of Translucency is a beautiful, expansive sea. It is nearly perfectly clear, is teeming with biodiverse life ranging from plant and fish life. It is described as one of the most beautiful places in the galaxy and is famed galaxy-wide for its transparent waters. (Image 8)
City of Dreams: One of the largest cities on Dremulae, the City of Dreams is situated along the coast of the Sea of Translucency. This city contains a large entertainment industry, producing some amazing holo-movies & T.V. shows that are known all across the galaxy. (Image 7 | Image 10)
Resort Lane: This is a large suburban area of City of Dreams. It features a large amount of Resorts, and is the number one area where tourists stay at during their vacation. There is also a 'Resort City,' which is one very large resort that was built prior to the Gulag plague that had converted into a tiny, Resort city with several thousands of people. (Image 6)
Clan Cadera Quarters: Founded in 735 ABY, during the Gulag plague, Clan Cadera Quarters (CCQ) is home a close run up for a coveted top populated spot on Dremulae. The quarters hosts a full city, but almost all are exclusively Clan Cadera Mandalorians. This also contains the headquarters for the Dremulae Planetary Police Force (DPPF,) with several amounts of property decided to training the force. (Image 9)
Cerevintine Metropolis: Another major urban center on Dremulae, this city contains the most diversity of species with a large non-human population. It also contains many of the smaller industries and is a heavy producer of artwork. It is also the botanical 'capital.' Extensive amounts of land are used for farming a variety of different plants, herbs, and medicine, etc. (Image 2)
Rainforest of Agiveronie: A large, protected rainforest on Dremulae. The area covers nearly 20-25% of the planet. It is entirely protected by Dremulaen authorities. There are tourist designations on the outskirts, along with small tours that are heavily regulated by the planetary government. For the most part, though, it is entirely untouched, full on, safe ecosystem.
POPULATION
Native Species: Mammalians, reptiles, avian, insects, etc that evolved naturally on the planet. (Note: this will be worked on with specie subs over time)
Immigrated Species: None currently known
Population: Moderate - 2 billion, 1.5 billion which is congregated in 6 major cities. Nearly 57.3% of the population classifies themselves, to some degree, at Mandalorian, likely due to the influence from Clan Cadera during the latter parts of the plague and into present.
Demographics: Dremulae is a very open, tolerant society. This is due to its history as first a luxury, resort world - bringing tourists from all over the galaxy, and then subsequently its offer of asylum and safety for refugees during the Gulag plague.
* Human (60%)
* Eldorai (11%)
* Wookie (10%)
* Gurlanin (7%)
* Twi'lek (5%)
* Zabrak (5%)
* Other (2%)
Primary Languages: Basic, Mando'a
Culture:
Dremulae used to be a resort world - beautiful, exotic, full of the rich, wealthy, and to be frank, corrupt. While still beautiful, and with a still significant tourist industry, the culture has dramatically shifted from its historic roots.
The majority of Dremulaen's value freedom, hard work, and individualism but within a team building capacity. There is a sense of collective goodwill among the natives and those who immigrate here.
Due to the medical industry that now exists on the planet, many of the individuals here have developed a sort of empathy for life. Society, education systems, and generally cultural views hold empathy for life to be paramount. As such, there is heavy recycling, strict environmental regulations, and generally people are described as 'happy' and 'kind.'
Likewise, the culture tends to be fairly open and relaxed. Individuals are expected to follow planetary law and respect the privacy of others. There is fairly liberal work laws, including mandatory lunches, paid time off, sick, etc. This all ties into this culture of respect and empathy for life. Work hard, but family and life outside of work is paramount.
Artistically, many of the arts and crafts done are representative of the beautiful planet - the soaring mountains, the deep jungles, or the beautiful blue oceans and seas. There are some sporting events, mostly that do with water though.
Religious attitudes are pretty relaxed. Most of the population has an idea of the Force, with several different sects practicing their own version. There is those who worship Naboo, or the Epicanthix pantheon, etc. So long as a religious belief does not effect another person, it is usually safe to practice.
GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY
Government: Republic
Affiliation: New Republic, Clan Cadera
Wealth: High - Due to a high tourist industry and large medical exports, Dremulae has fairly high wealth that is distributed mostly back to its citizenry in the form of healthcare, education, arts, safety, etc. This is particularly true due to the number of Clan Cadera members, who often bring in wealth from outside the planet.
Stability: Medium - Dremulae had a very rough period during the gulag plague but the experience has left the remaining citizens confident in their planetary government. As such, most citizens of Dremulae follow the rule of law & tend to discourage rule-breaking. Most crimes on the planet is from teenagers & petty crimes, such as shoplifting or vandalism.
Freedom & Oppression: Fairly Free - Dremulae prides itself on the hard work, individualism, and creativity of her people. As such, the people tend to be very free in what they can do. However, the planet does have regulations ranging from banning certain drugs, protecting the food supply, inspecting incoming freight & tourists, etc. Essentially, what needs to be regulated to keep citizens safe will be regulated while the population generally has large amount of freedoms.
MILITARY & TECHNOLOGY
Military: Small - Dremulae is not a military world and has never strived to be one. As such, the primary 'military' is the Dremulae Planetary Police Force (DPPF.) It functions almost solely as a civilian enforcement agency, but has a requirement to defend against hostile invasions. They are strictly defensive and only if the planet gets invaded a hostile force.
Technology: Galactic Standard
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Dremulae was discovered thousands of years ago during the first Galactic Republic. Situated in the deep core, it was likely that it was one of the first planets settled as colonists began to explore the galaxy.
The planet was tamed by colonists particularly fascinated by its beauty, such as the Sea of Translucency. By the time the planet really got developed it had a large, thriving tourism industry that was likely unmatched at the time by other planets.
The planet remained fairly unscathed during the early crisis, such as the rise of the Galactic Empire and the Vong Invasion. Many at the time may have called it a very good luck streak. Untouched by the galactic instability and the outer galactic threat, the planet managed to continue to have fortune.
Sadly, this luck would end as the Gulag plague ravaged the galaxy. The planet was one of the worst hit, losing a huge chunk of its population. The planet had no real system in place to scan for medical symptoms in incoming tourists, and with so many arrivals - many who had the plague, or were carriers, easily got onto the planetary surface where it spread like wildlife due to the extravagant lifestyle of the planets inhabitants and tourists.
It was quick and brutal. The planetary government nearly collapsed, although as a state of emergency was declared, power was concentrated into the governor's office. This led to strict reforms, a near complete shutdown of her borders, a mandatory health screening (which exists to this day,) and lots of paperwork. Alongside, though, they took in a heap of refugees who weren't infected by the plague. People who fled collapsing governments, burning worlds, etc found a home in Dremulae. Assuming, of course, they passed the health screening.
Due to the mass abandonment of resorts, many of these resorts became defacto cities. Hundreds, up to thousands, of people ended up living and farming around the resorts with several such towns still in existence to this day. The ones that weren't kept for tourism, or were not re-purposed as large one building cities, were refurbished into medical research centers and industry production.
As the gulag plague slowly came to end, the restrictions on entering the planet (aside from those seeking refuge status,) were lifted. While medical exams are required, the individual is rarely turned away and usually hospitalized for treatment and then can begin their usual vacation or head home. Once the plague had mostly ended, the tourist industry really began to thrive again, along with the previously extinct entertainment industry.
In the present time, the planet continues to promote its tourism, its medical industry, and its entertainment industry. While Dremulae has switched hands of the galactic powers that be, it remains strongly unified on the planetary level. While the Gulag plague did a horrible thing to the galaxy, it also brought together and made Dremulae into a unified culture that it is today.
Oops! Good catch, I can't believe I missed that. I corrected that - and that is a awesome suggestion. I added it, thank you again!
