[*]Primary Languages: Galactic Standard Basic
[*]Culture: The culture of Weik is that of a feudal kingdom with Lords hosting great hunts and parties ear their fortresses and monks living in the wild. The planet's protectors live in the Adamite Tower, the crashed hull of an ancient Star Destroyer, constantly battling the forces of evil, including the Skyholme Lucite's, dark sorcerers.
The Force is viewed as a magic power, wielded by those it deems worthy, and those who have forced their own will upon it.
The life of an average Weikan is dull, get up, do chores and for most, farm. Though some work in the factories deep in the Weikan tunnels or in the center of Vossport.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Pre-First Terran War(Sourced from Wookepedia Histroy Section):
Settled by Core World colonists representing the diversity of the early Galactic Republic, tens of thousands of colonists were diverted from their desired route as their ship passed through the mass shadow of a black hole and was sent tumbling into Wild Space. Surviving long enough to find a hospitable planet to land, the crippled ship landed not a day too soon. Crash-landing in the shallows of a sea, the surviving colonists made it to land and settled into their new home. As rescue never came, towns became cities and cities became states. Despite the efforts to salvage what they could from their ship, industry never developed on the world and technology eventually vanished. Histories were lost as civilization struggled to be reestablished for generations; reinventing all of the galaxy's most basic innovations from nothing. Entering into an iron age at a time when their origins were fading into myths and legends, the fragmented governments of city-states were too far apart to form a functioning planetary government.
At this time the economy that developed on Weik was based around farming and simple labor. Caravans and ships moved rare goods across the world as global trade began to reemerge, though techniques used to farm the land required vast amounts of time and effort. Xenophobia and prejudices based on gender and species were unheard of, having been eliminated in the earliest days of the colony's foundation. Some relics from the past remained in use, though manufacture of these goods did not exist. The Force was viewed as magic by those who could touch it, with schools of magical theory rising and falling over the centuries to study the rituals of shamans and magicians. The powers of the Paladins of the Adamite Tower were similar to those of the Jedi Order, while the Skyholme Lucites studied the dark side of the Force. Other groups, such as the Cendiary Priests and the Skyholme Astromancers practiced a more neutral study of the Force.
First Terran War
In 250 ABY the first Terran War began, the two sides were the vast and numerous peoples of Weik, versus the warlike, better trained and better armed Titans. The Titans had the element of surpirse as before this the surface dwelling other species had never even guessed at their existence. The Titans, led by the Kell, or Prime of Primes(which meant that they were in charge of all the Titan Houses), Skolas led his people to victory , until late in the war the Paladins of the Adamite Tower came to a shocking conclusion. This was that Quadranium was highly effective against the Titans, and as such they forged huge numbers of weapons, imbued with the Force from help from the Cenidary Priests. Allowing the the peoples of Weik to become victorious, after Skolas's defeat by the Lannik Paladin Jorg Shen at the Second Battle of Fume. This war led to the creation of basic speeders and the unification of the peoples of Weik into its current state of Feudal quasi-Theocracy.
Second Terran War
The Titans had learned their lesson and using their shapeshifing abilities , decieved the Skyholme Lucites into waging war against the Paladins of the Adamite Tower. Led by Skolas's son, Draksis, the Titans took advantage of the chaos and took control of nearly the entire planet in a matter of weeks; killing the Paladins at their stronghold in the Adamite Tower, and slaughtering both the Skyholme Lucites and Astromancers at their annual meetings. however, while they had been mainly effective in taking the Weikan cities and destroying their stockpiles of Quadranium blades, the Titans were still defeated, once again by Jorg Shen at the battle of Crysfal Peak, a secret Paladin base in the mountains. The Titans had been winning the battle when Shen, leading a battalion of other Lanniks, all on Trollbanes came crashing into their rear. This extended the battle long enough for the Astromancers to convince the Lucites that they had been tricked and that they would be serving their own causes by helping to defeat the Titans. At the second battle of Crysfal Peak, the remaining Titans had gathered their armies to attack the Paladins there, however, the Paladins lead by Shen had gathered their allies: The United Wiekan People's Army, the Skyholme Astromancers, and the Skyholme Lucites; as a final great defence. In this battle of five armies it could be said that every side lost, but that the Titans lost the most. The Titans returned to their caverns to pot again.
Third Terran War
Three hundred years after the end of the Second Terran war, in 575 ABY, the Titans began a century of infiltration, finally launching a second massive attack on the other inhabitants of Weik. Killing the main force of the Paladins of the Adamite Tower in one fell swoop at the battle of Rimesa and eliminating the Skyholme Lucite's at their main fortress. Then they began to conquer Weik in earnest, this time having covered all their bases; unfortunately, a Jedi ship escaping the Gulag plague bringing a battalion of soldiers crashed on Weik and assisted the other inhabitants of Weik in the Third Terran War against the Titans. The third war ended when the Titans proposed a truce, realizing that there were too few of them to conquer the planet alone; and by the time of the Netherworld event, the feelings between the Titans and the other Weikans had cooled off enough that neither side accused the other of wrongdoing. Instead, it only rejuvenated the inhabitants of Weik's attempts to get to the stars.
