The Hunger awaits
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
SECURITY
Maximum: Due to its nature as a formerly self-reliant system and massive wealth, this system is protected and secured in a variety of ways.
The Eriadu system has existed since the very beginning of the galaxy, with humans having been brought to the planet Eriadu originally as slaves under the Rakathan infinite empire. After the collapse of the Infinite Empire, the system remained in isolation for thousands of years, expanding it's population on the currently two populated planets Eriadu and Erinar. Over the course of history, the planet Eriadu fashioned itself into the military and industrial stronghold of the system and when galactic trade began to increase and expand from the core regions, it didnot take long before the system started relation with the older incarnations of the Galactic Republic.
Throughout the ages and through the countless galactic wars such as the great hyperspace war and the several Jedi-Sith wars, the Eriadu system has usually been spared of most of the trouble due to its neutral stance, though it was known that many Jedi, Dark Jedi and Sith found this appealing and thus ended up living within the system's borders, most notably Arcossius Nargath, the later first Lord of Nargath. Despite thisinflux of force sensitives and it's neutrality, in due time, not even the Eriadu system could evade the expansion of the Galactic republic and became part of it and it's immediate successor; the Galactic Empire. Though it briefly became independent again, it would take till about 450 ABY before the system would once again be truly self reliant, a status it would hold for again almost 410 years, until it was quite peacefully annexed into the Confederacy of Independent Systems at 858 ABY.
Ever since it's annexation within the Confederacy, first the Planet Eriadu had been turned into a Viceroyalty, though the Viceroy of Eriadu had quickly managed to reform the entire planetary system of Eriadu into the Eriaduan Viceroyal Domain, the governmental functions, jurisdiction and authority now encompassing and overseeing the entirity of the Eriadu System.
- Intent: To flesh out the Eriadu Planetary system for further RP opportunities and to solidify Credius Nargath's hold on the newly minted Eriadu Viceroyal Territory under the Confederacy of Independent Systems

- Star System Name: Eriadu
- Region: Outer Rim Territories
- Affiliation: Credius Nargath | Eriadu Viceroyalty | CIS
- Accessibility:
- Though The Eriadu system is a well travelled and well known system within the outer rim, priding itself on it's high trade value and importance within the region, it has also always prided itself on its tradition of self reliance and neutrality towards outside powers. Despite that very neutrality having been lost over time, the idea of self reliance did not. So even when it was part of the succession of republics and the numerous empires in between, the system's main defense had always been handled by its own people. Due to this and the fact that the system is now part of the expansive Confederacy of Independet Systems means though it is accessible, it is now guarded not by one, but two military forces, namely the ESDF and the Confederacy itself, making unwarranted and unwanted visits less likely.
- Description:
- A relatively large planetary system thanks to the rather large orbit to the system's central star, the Eriadu system is comprised out of six planets with a high variety of viability in terms of naturally sustaining life, surface climates and atmosphere. The two largest planets, furthest from the central star are gas giants, while the four planets closer to the sun are solid state rocky planets. With little to no obstructions for travel inside the system and just a sparce astroid belt in between the orbit of the rocky planets and the gas giants, the Eriadu system is not particularily hard to traverse by ship.
- Size: Medium
- Wealth: Wealthy.
- The Eriadu System's wealth is directly tied to it's location at the crossroads of two major tradeways and at the border of two of the galaxy's most prominent factions [CIS and OPA], because of it having a history of looking after its own needs and wants, the inhabited planets within the system have long shared technology and in particular the planet Eriadu has managed to capitalize on the system's location within the galaxy throughout history, building up a massive manufacturing and mining industry that has lead to the planet being nicknamed 'more core than the core' due to it's wealth eclipsing even many of the more noteable core planets of the galaxy.
- Major Imports: Terraforming technology [mainly airscrubbers, waterfiltering systems, etc], Raw materials and unprocessed minerals
- Major Exports: Military hardware, ships, technology, industrial equipment, Lommite, Doonium
- Unexploited Resources: Doonium, Obsidian, Carbonite, Lommite, Electrum
- Hyperlanes:
- Population: Moderate
- System Traffic: Congested
- Demographics:
- Though originally uninhabited in ancient times, over the course of history many races have immigrated to the system, though the large majority has been of human descent, which is visible to this day, with current population figures denoting 86% as human or of human origin and only 14% denoted as other species ranging from Twi'leks to Hutts and everything in between.
- Native Species: Eriaduan and Erinarian humans , though they consider themselves to be the native peoples, they too have immigrated to this system in the distant past.
- Immigrated Species: Humans, Twi'leks, Anzati
- Suns: 1- Eriadu
- Orbiting Planets: 6
- Muntiadu: Rocky planet with harsh volcanic terrain and a deadly atmosphere, it has large deposits of doonium, obsidian and lommite hidden within its crust and mantle.
- Hellvault: The deepest and largest of the planet's surface lavastreams, meassuring up to a kilometer wide and stretching out for several hundred kilometers over the planet's surface.
- Glimmer Reef: A massive Obsidian layer spanning several dozens of square kilometers, it is believes to be the coolest place on the planet and according to some scientists from Eriadu the cause to this might be an untapped source of water underneath the reef, while others simply denote it to the fact that it is closest to the planet's northern pole.
- Brunga: The largest and most violent volcano on Muntiadu, a single eruption of this volcano is enough to cause ash-storms across nearly half the planet's surface, according to some it is the root cause of the planet's inhabitable status.
- Jaroona: Rocky Planet with a tidal lock, rumored to have similar, if not greater mineral deposits within it's crust and mantle than even Muntiadu.
- Zamor Wastes: Located at the perpetually dark side of Jaroona, the Eamor Wastes are a cold and unforgiving swath of rocky, icecovered tundra within perpetual darkness which have gotten famous by astronomers calling it the darkest spot on the planet.
- Heruval Lavapits: Located on the continuously brightened side of the planet, the Heruval Lavapits are in reality a collection of large, open lakes which contents are mainly molten rock and minerals.
- Drakmor Peak: According to the most modern meassuring systems and equipment, this is the second largest mountain in the entire Eriadu system, conveniently located at the exact edge of the planet's tidally locked dark and bright sides.
- Erinar [1 moon] [SUB] The second planet to be populated within the system, despite its history it has long been reliant on the wealth and power of the capital planet of the system; Eriadu.
- Eriadu [1 moon] Central Planet to the system, it houses the government offices to the Viceroyalty which rules and governs the entire system. The headquarters of companies such as Nargath Holdings and N&Z Umbrella Corporation are located here. It is also the military and political stronghold of House Nargath of which it's head is the current Viceroy of the system.
- Tarastra [7 moons] Gas giant outside of the "central belt", a blueish green planet made up almost entirely out of various states of hydrogen and helium.
- Kelliadu A dark green gass giant with an unknown composition.
- Central Belt: The remains of unformed planets within the system dotting a particular region between Eriadu and Tarastra, the concentration of asteroids is classed as "sparse with some denser pockets", generally not an issue for those traversing the system as the locations of the more dense pockets of concentrated asteroids are carefully monitored and available to the general public to ensure safe travels.
- Muntiadu: Rocky planet with harsh volcanic terrain and a deadly atmosphere, it has large deposits of doonium, obsidian and lommite hidden within its crust and mantle.
SECURITY
Maximum: Due to its nature as a formerly self-reliant system and massive wealth, this system is protected and secured in a variety of ways.
- ESDF: The standing army and navy of the Eriadu system, using the best ships and technology the system's core manufacturers have to offer, along with the training of the well respected and well known former imperial academies have made sure that this recently reformed defence force consisting out of both navy and army branches is to be considered top notch and more than enough to handle basic to moderate threats in the form of small bands of pirates, smugglers or even moderate to large fleets.
- CIS: Due to this system having come into the fold of the Confederacy of Independant Systems, it ofcourse benefits of the faction's enormous resources, as well as being patrolled and safeguarded by it's navy, though they remain on stand by as long as there is no major threat to the system's safety and security.
- Orbital Defense: Both Erinar and Eriadu are protected by a grid of Orbital defense platforms of the Avalon class, with Eriadu's grid consisting out of currently five hundred of such satellites and Erinar having about half that amount of satellites to form its grid, the system's populated planets are to be considered near impregnable for anything but large invasion fleets.
