- Culture:
- The Saeko have a rigid caste system. On top are the Yava'tal, with the scientists, leaders and elite They could be identified by their scarlet clothing. They are allowed actual food, could vote and had a normal birth. Below the Yava'tal are the slave class, which did menial labor. They were given a number instead of a name (such as "Saeko One"), are fed food pills and expected to obey the Yava'tal without question. Males have no part in this system and only a small number of males are kept alive for reproduction, the rest being killed to preserve resources.
Saeko government was split up into Ministries, such as the Ministry for Offensive Research, the Ministry for Defensive planning and the Ministry for Homeworld protection. Though the Yava'tal have a vote, there is only one political party and little actual change.

- Government: Monarchy
- Affiliation: Atrisian Commonwealth
- Wealth: Medium: Not poor but also not wealthy as a world. Their spice exports bring a fair amount of currency but are not as high in production as the outer rim worlds of the hutts to avoid attack
- Stability: Medium: Secluded and stable at the edge of the galaxy and away from most interested parties. They live on the world and the people thrive enough but not in the hyper luxury of other worlds.
- Freedom & Oppression: Strictly class based in terms of power and freedoms. THe higher up in the social structure the more freedoms allowed and more chances one can get. Moving up among the rungs of society is nearly always involving excessive amounts of wealth and built up power or innovation.
- Military: N/A
- Technology: The Saekos had somewhat limited technology.Their ships are made of common metals, making them functional but not particularly durable. They use guns physically similar to galactic slug throwers but energy is fired instead.
Gilthoniel was settled by an advanced expedition force of the Ssi-ruu, the group crashed on the planet stranding themselves as navigation through the deep core takes time. It had already been a few generations while they navigated the hazards unable to truly make headway through hyperspace travel. After a meteor storm sent them barreling down onto the world what was left of the survivors met the primitive Saeko, a semi intelligent (at the time) race with a genetic flaw. Their hair was purple to distinguish them and their technology... barely above children's toys.
As time went on the few they could entech to survive on the world proved useless, it wasn't the race but a world with dwindling food supplies and dangerous resources. Evidence of tampering could be seen in how the ancient lakes and ocean were now salt flats. The water gone except in a few underground wells protected from the sand worms that roamed below in the deserts. They setup a society and it grew using the byproduct of the worms. Spice flowed from the desert like a river and they stored it up.
A few centuries passed as the Ssi-ruu slowly devolved, their numbers had dwindled to a state the Saeko could overthrow and run them out. Alone and in the mountains they slowly returned to a primitive state that could be domesticated for personal use. The mounts were fast and strong for gathering spice or hunting down resources. Sometimes other ships would crash on the planet but it was still a rare thing. The Saeko's government because something of a challenge to maintain. Their numbers were lower, the birth rates and survival of infants dangerous.
This led to further restrictions on resources and population control. Males were kept strictly for a single purpose -breeding- while the females killed off the ones who couldn't contribute. A caste system was put in place for the ones deemed valuable to society and the ones for laborious tasks. Then as time passed the planet prospered or as much as they could. Limited galactic trade from ships braving the deep core, the Jedi found them at one point and interacted with several of the citizens getting a small temple built but not really attended to.
Then it happened, a ship came bringing the Gulag plague to the planet. The population was devastated from nearly six billion to a third of that, the Republic sent some aid but didn't listen to the warnings about the worms or dangers of the planet. One of their ships sank into a sinkhole and stranded several for the creatures of the world to eat before rescue teams could be sent in. In the years since the Gulag plague the Saeko have been trying to rebuild their society with huge mountain cities being abandoned while factories churn out food pills for the labor class.
The aid of the jedi in rebuilding the planet came as a nice addition, something helpful while also endearing as the primarily female dominated society while accepting of the males. Also subjugated them sending into the deserts the bulk for a time to protect against the roaming beasts. Others helped rebuild older sections of the cities and were permitted to create a small out of the way temple for ones who wished to remain and offer their services in protecting. While not a common thin, a jedi could prove useful to the stability and training of the police forces.
One of the few jedi to have been welcomed was Varadun who stayed on the planet for a time with his padawan aiding the Saeko. While touchy at first the pairs longer lives and willingness to adopt to the local customs got them recognition and approval of the government leading the jedi to get more influence without taking them over. A friendship was established with some visiting Tython and Coruscant but not straying further from the deep care itself to much, their wanting and enjoyment of their own society preferable to the multitude of the galaxy.
They have been able to rebuild with the help of the spice using a few black market smugglers who are brave enough to navigate the deep core and proximity of the jedi or Republic. Their funds have slowly rebuilt to a good amount allowing for the minor importing of food for the higher caste, updating technology. Ships are able to land at some of the special ports while a new competition of riding the creatures on the planet attract tourists. The government of the planet has developed a long running friendship with the jedi order members who visit. Preferring their minimalistic view of things because it doesn't consume resources.
