Description: Constructed by the "New Mandalorians" centuries ago, Padelfia is a dome city, not unlike the New Mandalorian city of Sundari, that is located on the equator of the planet Mandalore. An ocean city complete with artificial land masses within, it is a very tourist heavy city known for its romantic ocean views and high rise buildings which contrast heavily to the perceived gruff and rugged towns and settlements that dot Mandalore's planet. With white sand beaches, a nod to the New Mandalorian roots in Sundari, and some of the best underwater attractions this side of the Galaxy Padelfia is a gold mine of credits.
Constructed with beskar and durasteel similarly to Sundari, the enormous city lies beneath several bio-domes due to the extreme heat that plagued most of the planet after the Republic bombarded it during the Mandalorian Excision. Each of the eight domes is protected with HAS Military shielding. Due to the coastal nature of the city, most of the city's food comes from the sea, making the food culture vastly different from that of a more traditional Mandalorian diet like that of Keldabe.
Under the city, deep in the ocean there are four other, smaller domes that are used as an Ori'ramikade base of operations and safe house to be used as one of several small secret bases for a resistance cell should Mandalore fall under a tyrannical outside force.
History: Founded well over a millennium ago by the New Mandalorians near the end of the Clone Wars, Padelfia was one of the only cities left untouched by the Empire's onslaught during the short period of Mandalorian resistance to the new Galactic power. Because of this, it has become one of the most technologically advanced cities on Mandalore and its citizens have retained much of the New Mandalorian and Imperial culture. When the Empire fell and the planet fell into a more traditional Mandalorian-style lifestyle and culture the citizens of Padelfia reluctantly fell into file with the other larger settlements, towns, and cities.
Several clans sprung up from the higher ranks of the New Mandalorian-Imperial upper class as they took their place in greater Mandalorian society. They continued to use a police force similar to the New Mandalorian Police, though they did become much better equipped as Beskar'gam became more and more common in the city.
