Setting Information:
City Name: Galacot City
Classification: Metropolis
Location: Yesmireenhttps://starwarsrp.net/topic/150525-yesmireen/
Affiliation: Yesmireenhttps://starwarsrp.net/topic/150525-yesmireen/
Population: Heavy
Demographics: Overall, the population here favors Human (or Near-Human) species in a hierarchical, caste-like system. In this sense, the planet carries a heavy sense of racism, where humans are seen as superior and are seated in every position of power. Other species are permitted to come to Galacot City, but will only receive a “warm” welcome if they are of human or near-human descent.

Stability: Medium; rule around the city is heavily enforced by the use of the system’s military might and it is not uncommon to see routine sweeps through the city by large battalions and convoys. Public executions happen on occasion as a means to flex their muscles and snuff out potential rebellion before it can truly gain a foothold. As such, there is a dissonance present between the oppressed and the ruling class of this society.
Freedom & Oppression: Oppressed and commerce heavy. Standard body of law, but favors the human and near-human population. Repercussions against infringements of the law are not equal between species, with humans and near-humans typically receiving less severe punishments.
Description: The capital of the planet Yesmireen, Galacot City is a sprawling metropolis that caters to a wide variety of different interests. There is a heavy military presence throughout the city and is overwhelmingly dominated by Humans. Alien species are few and far between here and often seen performing the less than desirable tasks and jobs that come with being a functioning city.
Points of Interests:
Capital District: The capital district is the beating heart of the city and among the most densely populated areas of not only the city, but the planet as a whole. This particular district of the city is where the ruling class holds the strongest influence and it is very rare to see an alien species mingling among the humans and near-humans that teem here with resounding numbers.
Also within this district lies a massive museum where archeological finds are predominantly stored from various digs and ruins around the planet. Almost everything excavated from the ruins of Midwan is housed within the grand museum including ancient Sithhttps://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Sith_(species) texts that have been recovered though the ability to decipher these texts has been fruitless with their aged form and dead language.
Industrial District: The industrial district is the hub of commerce on the surface of the planet, whether that be the importation or exportation of various goods and services. Various textile manufacturers fill the area and it is not uncommon to run across the occasional street vendor trying to sell or trade their trinkets. Yesmiri military makes routine runs through this sector of the city to ensure the law is followed and to sniff out any traces of the development of a black market to pawn and sell illicit goods.
The distribution between human and alien in this part of the city is rather diverse, though humans still greatly outnumber other species due to the sheer volume of their population here.
The Underground: Despite its name, the Underground is not the haven of scum and villainy that one might believe based simply upon its designation. Instead this area below the main body of the raised city is a massive military complex and it legitimately runs the length of the entire city. Among its walls consists millions of uniformed personnel in various brigades, squadrons and fleets of all services. A massive academy is built into the central pylon and is the unholy place where every every citizen of Yesmireen is required to attend to fulfil their mandatory six year service commitment.
It is commonplace that hundreds and thousands of armed military vessels travel in and out of the complex daily and their training and firepower is of monstrous levels.
The Outskirts: The outskirts of the city is by far the dirtiest and least well kept area of Galacot. It is predominantly inhabited by the alien species of the world and humans are rarely seen within its borders. The people who live here are impoverished and largely in need of many everyday essentials most would take for granted. This area of Galacot is severely underdeveloped when compared to the rest of the city.
However, even with all its shortcomings in its downtrodden state, crime is quite low here. In part, this is out of the fear of what would happen should the crime be uncovered as punishments under the law of Yesmireen are considerably different in severity between Alien and Human races. Where a human may receive a simply fine for theft, it would not be unheard of for an alien to receive the death penalty due to the racist nature of the ruling class here.
Of all patrols performed by the Yesmiri military, the Outskirts receives an overwhelming amount of the attention given.
Historical Information:
The sprawling capital of Yesmireen, Galacot City is a rather recent addition to the architecture that dots the planet’s landscaped, having only come to be after the Rise of the Galactic Empire. Even so, it has quickly risen to prominence on the planet and is the central hub to all intergalactic interaction between the Yesmiri and those beyond its warm yellow sun. It’s a city deeply rooted in archaic laws that enforce a certain prejudice about all races, seemingly putting the human race on a pedestal as though they are superior to all others. As such, equality in treatment among the many different species that live within the city, is non-existent. For if you are not human here, you may as well not be a person at all.
The metropolis is broken into a number of different districts, each with a particular focus to include: industry, government, residential and military. Of them, the military district is by far the largest, toting a coverage area which is practically as large as the raised city itself. Also, it seems to be the pride and joy of those with a voice among the Yesmiri - or rather those in charge. Citizens of Galacot are required to serve and minimum six year stint with the military - no exceptions to be had. This makes it so that the military and martial presence is always strong, something they’ve felt it had to be in order to keep their prejudice-based caste system in place and to remain safe amid a galaxy that seemingly sought nothing short of chaos.
