- City Name: Nezamiyeh
- Classification: Metropolis
- Location: Chaldea
- Affiliation: Chaldean Potentium
- Population: Moderate; stable but gradually declining. Roughly 12 million people are registered as residents.
- Demographics: Mixed, though mostly Human and Near-Human.
- Wealth: Medium; largely dependent on individual income.
- Stability: Medium; the planetary government is considered lenient, but has also been accused of incompetence and apathy to the plight of the citizenry. You'll probably get into more trouble due to the rapid planet growth caused by the local Force Nexus than anything the government does, however.
- Freedom & Oppression: As long as you're not an open and obvious Force User, you should be fine. Jedi are more tolerated than Sith, but you're still likely to get some dirty looks. The authorities also tend to deal more harshly with Force Users - some would say unfairly.
- Description: Nezamiyeh is the planetary capital of Chaldea and its largest major settlement. By galactic standards, it is almost comically small and underdeveloped. Its architecture is a mix of past and the future styles, with stone and brick buildings standing in the shadow of skyscrapers. Due to the Nezamiyeh Force Nexus, the metropolis suffers from an issue in which plants grow at an accelerated rate, requiring droids to cut them down every morning so that people can go about their business without roads and entrances being blocked off by vines and branches. As the population continues to decline, many sections of the city have been abandoned and are completely overgrown with wildlife.
- Starport - The only starport on the planet is located in Nezamiyeh. By galactic standards, it is small and relatively relaxed for a major hub of travel. It doesn't suffer from overcrowding, that's for sure.
- Chaldean Academy - Chaldea's largest center of learning, it is run by the Potentium and focuses on catering to its members. They also function as a more general college, offering classes in a wide range of subjects, but this is secondary to its role as a training ground for Potentiates.
- Abandoned Sectors - Large sections of the city have utterly emptied of citizens as the planet's population has declined. Even recently abandoned buildings appear heavily overgrown due to the Nezamiyeh Force Nexus speeding up the growth of wildlife. These areas are considered "lawless", though the lack of people means walking through them is more an eerie experience than a truly dangerous one.
SECURITY
Medium (generally); varies depending on location. The city has a mixed droid/organic police force and there is a nearby military base, but the police do not patrol the streets.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Nezamiyeh was the first major settlement on Chaldea, established by the earliest settlers. According to historical records, the first building to be constructed was the Chaldean Academy, which formed the hub of the colony. It grew over time into the metropolis we see today.
In recent history, Nezamiyeh was the site of several skirmishes during the Chaldean Civil War, most famously the decisive Battle of Nezamiyeh, which brought about the conflict's end. The city still bears some signs of bombing and fighting left over from these days, but most of the damage has been rebuilt in the decades since the war ended.
