AGAMAR


RECENT EVENTS​

Agamar was a peaceful place that busied itself with community farming and and peaceful coexstence with the alien settlements. Recently, however, the Sith Brotherhood ventured way out of their own territory to conquer the planet that seemed so insignificant. The annexation of the planet went unopposed by both the Republic who saw no greater trade value in the backwater planet, as the Jedi who failed to prevent the dissolvement of the Agamarian Council and the death of its most prominent member.

Initially the change in leadership on the planet changed little to the surface, aside from the Imperial Legion policing the capital and establishing some other outposts on the planet, life on Agamar returned to its peaceful rhythm. As months passed under then Sith Brotherhood rule the Ruling Council managed to improve quality of life thanks to a significant technology update. For Agamar, being part of the Sith had only benefits.


The strong presence of the Sacred Band of Ziost has evicted local Cathar gang 'The Nightprowlers' and while all seems to be reasonable quiet and peaceful, the void left behind in the planet's underworld caused suspicious speeder accidents and frame-ups leading to the Sacred Band executing criminal kingpins without actually knowing who they are or who had been responsible for the murders in the first place. To regain some measure of control in the Calna Muun underworld many believed a crime lord was needed to lay down the rules. Around this time the criminal enterprise known as the Exchange came to prominence in the galaxy, but while other worlds were affected heavily the organization apparently saw little of value in a agricultural world under strict Sith rule.

When a recent crackdown on piracy by the Jedi in neighboring sectors drove many pirates into the Agamarian wilds, the local military together with newly formed Imperial Legion decided hostile action was needed. After a fierce campaign in the wilds the pirates were either succesfully evicted or killed in military action. Military officials like Colonel Davik Ecclest were surprised by the meek resistance offered by the pirates, unaware of the Jedi Army's efforts against the pirates earlier that year. When Jedi abducted Governor Athal Mon the decision was made to put a military man in office and Colonel Ecclest was appointed interim-governor.

DESCRIPTION​

A terrestrial world, Agamar's surface featured several landmasses separated by oceans, including the Bil Da'Gari and the Crescent Sea. The climate was warm and dry,though the planet had large expanses of arable land. Over time, natural bridges had developed on the planet's surface.

Much of the land was covered with forests of binka trees —these trees, native to Agamar, grew regularly spaced, and as such became popular among youngsters to maneuver repulsorcraft through at high speeds. The world developed a reputation as a rough planet where it was difficult to survive, yet despite its reputation, those who visited Agamar would later comment on its natural beauty.

Among the planet's indigenous fauna was the mugruebe, a small mammal roughly twice the size of a womp rat. Often farmed at ranches, the creatures were the main ingredient in the local dish, mugruebe stew, together with roots and bark from the planet's trees. Although mugruebe stew was popular among the Agamarian population, it remained largely unpopular throughout the galaxy. During the years surrounding the Clone Wars, however, at least one Agamarian dish was served as far away as Dex's Diner on Coruscant. The meatless slider included a patty made from Agamarian soybeans topped with a slice of binka fruit and mugruebe spit-sauce. Other fauna included a species of quadrupeds with four eyes, thick tails and bone protrusions rising from a flared crest at the rear of the head. These creatures were used as beasts of burden by Agamarian farmers before Imperial farmer technology eased their burden.

INHABITANTS​

The Agamarian settlers were mostly Human, though at least some other species were present on the planet, including Rodians and Cathar, and Galactic Basic Standard was the planet's primary language. Most inhabitants of the simple agriworld made a living as farmers, merchants and craftspeople, and relied on each other's help to prosper. Their rustic lifestyle necessitated a degree of stubbornness and durability, and as a result, Agamarians developed a reputation as unsophisticated rubes, famous for their apparent stupidity. Agamar's ruling body was the Agamarian Council, whose delegates sat in Calna Muun and were led by a speaker. Shortly after the annexation the ruling body had been suspended and the planet ruled over be Governor Athal Mon, a representative of the Sith Brotherhood and former admiral in the Sacred Band of Ziost. However, when the governor was abducted by Jedi and replaced by a military man, the council regained her legislative powers and allowed the interim-governor to step back to become the new Speaker. As the Empire depends heavily on its military prowess, the Moff of Agamar enjoys veto rights and a hefty budget, yet holds no sole legislative powers. The Council will always need to vote on matters of legislation and policy.

A recent addition to the planet's sentient makeup was a small settlement of Cathar, many of whom were former slaves from Outer Rim criminal organizations and their offspring. Due to their bad experience with societies and humans, and the undesirable ferocity of its male members, they lived far from Calna Muun in a wily forest where they tried to adhere to their old Cathar tribal ways and made their homes in the large trees. They didn't bother the other inhabitans of the planet and they in return left them their much needed peace. Even the Sith Brotherhood, notorious for their discrimination against certain aliens, decided to just stay out of their forests after its attempt to march a regiment in to detain them, but failed due to heat exhaustion prior to even reaching the settlement. A few years before the annexation, the settlement had started to follow Agamarian custom and made a living from herding mugruebe and harvesting their own Binka orchards. At odds with the 'old ways' of the Cathar people, the women started to deem the ferocity or their men undesirable and those that could not be controlled were exiled to 'the city'. There these uncontrollable and ferocious male Cathar banded together and started the 'Nightprowlers' gang, focused on burglaring and racketeering. With the Invasion of the Sith Brotherhood and the Sacred Band's crackdown on crime, many of the formerly ferocious males died, left the planet, or returned to the settlement content with their claws clipped and content to being a simple farmer.

One group that flourished after the annexation were the Rodians that made Agamar their home. After the Sith Brotherhood built an outpost in close proximity to a settlement on the banks of the Crescent Sea, Rodians were reported leaving their menial jobs on mugruebe farms and Binka orchids and instead reformed themselves as engineers and technicians. With the Sith Brotherhood's greater focus on technology, having to maintain spacecrafts bigger than Calna Muun in it's entirity, the rodians were a thankful sight and received plenty of pay for plenty of work. While they flourish as individuals, their settlement has largely disbanded due to their preference to live closer to their jobs in either Calna Muun or the Sith outpost.

LOCATIONS​

Agamar's capital was Calna Muun, which was also the largest city on the planet and referred to as the "Big City" by the Agamarians. Located on the coast, the city served as the planet's main starport and also had a harbor from which tourists could take rides along the floor of the Bil Da'Gari ocean in transparent submersibles. The small town of Tondatha was not located far from Calna Muun, on the other side of one of the world's many binka forests. Despite its proximity to Calna Muun, Tondatha was considered a fairly backwater town by even the native Agamarians, including some of its own residents.

The Agamarian Council was housed in the Council Center in Calna Muun, which after its annexation now housed Governor Athal Mon's administration and officers of the Imperial Legion. Due to the Center's close proximity to the sea, the ocean had a clear influence on the architecture. Office balconies offered a view of the ocean to the north of the city, while the council chamber itself had an oceanic motif. The wooden floors, wall panels and furnishing were examples of high quality Agamarian craftsmanship, with the desks for Council delegates rising out of the floor like waves, leaping fish attached to the floor by wooden streams of water, and wooden birds fixed to the walls and ceiling by the tips of their wings. Even the speaker's podium was designed to resemble a stone sticking out of the waves around the base. When the Jedi came to help the council resist the Sith's dark influence, much of the council chamber was destroyed when a starship fired into it in a desperate attempt to kill the Jedi knights. Agamarian craftsmen worked day in and day out for months to bring back the chamber to its original state. While the chamber now looks almost identical to the original, the speaker's podium is now adorned with the Imperial logo. Elsewhere, the high-ceilinged hallways were open to help keep the Center cool in the warm climate. Where pillars and archways divided the corridor into segments, holographic art depicted Agamarian history and culture.

The Sith Brotherhood Outpost in the middle of Calna Muun was raised after a fleet of freighters delivered all its necessary materials in the same day the Sith officially annexed the planet. While it features durasteel doors and walls, most of the outpost seemed to exist below ground level. Cloaked in secrecy, no one knows exactly what's going on inside and what purpose it's going to serve in the future. While certain levels below the ground are still clouded in secrecy, the outpost has since transformed to an official Imperial Legion base where not only an operational battalion is garrisoned, but where basic military training for Agamarian youths is conducted. Its stereotypical Imperial theme is a stark contrast to the peaceful lives that Agamarians lead outside on their farms and orchards, making the outpost the only thing that would remind an outsiders of the galactic war that rages all around it.

INTENT​

While the Sith Brotherhood simply called it the 'Annexation of Agamar' and left one of the first real PvP encounters of this timeline behind us not to look at this seemingly random captured planet ever again, I've decided to give the SBZ-occupation of the planet some shape and give the planet more potential story-angles to promote using it as home- or mission world. As I'm no longer Sith AFL I cannot include specific Sith Empire activities and they'll be removed from the write-up. Instead, Agamar will be the stage for many stories only loosely centered around the main conflict. Connected by traderoutes with the Republic and located between the Jedi Army's headquarters on Ilum and Sith territory, this write-up will reflect on all intergalactic events. Whether it's shown by either settlements of war refugees, terrorist and separatists cells or an influx of criminal entities, Agamar will be and remain a vibrant part of this timeline's galaxy.
