Name: Karfeddion
Coordinates: L17.5
Climate: Karfeddion is a terrestial world, with a two season cycle switching off between a wet and dry season. The equataor is almost sub-tropical while you will find temperate climates as you travel North and South respectively. The planet is kept a comfortable temperature by the abundance of freshwater lakes dotting the land as well as some larger inland oceans. The wet season sees considerably higher rates of precipitation with steady rains and occasional intense thunderstorms. The dry season is more mild.
Terrain: The green and blue world is home to large lakes and inland seas. The terrain is comprised of rolling hills, flat grasslands, and mountainous steppes. Large forests are found near the lakes or where there is lack of settlement.
Rotation: Karfeddion has a 25 hour day and a local years last 372 days.
Population: 8 Billion
3.6 Billion free citizens
-2.4 Billion Human
-1.2 Billion alien (various)
4.4 Billion Slaves
-2 Billion Human
2.4 Billion alien (various)
Resources: Karfeddion would be best described as an agriworld, it's best resource being it's nitrogen rich soil and temperate climate and steady, predictable seasons. With a slightly lower than normal gravity and an oxygen rich atmosphere it was not difficult to introduce agricultural and domestic products from other systems. Small mining operations also exist on the planet that mine metal ores.
Grains: Grassgrain, Shorn, Roti, and Phraig among others.
Fruits/Vegetables: Bangcorn, Cabbage, Corellian Apples, Tapato, Potato among others.
Food creatures: Gallaze, Gaunt, Gnorts, Grantaloupe, and Grasser among others.
Minerals: Aurodium
Doonium
Government: The planet is under the control of the Vandron Family, fuedal lords who have ruled the planet since it's discovery. A large bureaucracy maintains and staffs the departmens of the government such as the Department of Justice and Department of Interstellar Affairs.
Economy: State-led development policy. Much focus is on agricultural production and it's trade. Another major economic activity is the slave trade. Most of the planet's wealth come from those two economic sectors. Consumerism is also a driving economic force with incredibly wealthy citizenry needing to purchase the latest and greatest fashion and technology. There are several large cities spread evenly across the planet, built around massive landing strips and docking bays that are the basis of the agricultural trade. From these cities come entrepreneurs, small and medium sized businessses and lucrative tax revenue.
Culture: Like almost all planets in the Senex-Juvex system, Karfeddion is infamously known for their continued practice of Slave trading. The slaves are raided from neighboring systems and are used for households, agriculture, military and trade purposes. On Karfeddion slaves are bred to isolate the finest traits. They have a mando-esque belief in survival of the fittest and culturally justify slavery in those terms. They are not xenophobic as there are a few Noble families of alien species and the population within Karfeddion is diverse, they do have a severe sense of cultural superiority to those outside of the Kingdom. The people believe that they are still of the fine stock and heritage of the old lords of the galaxy. A slave may win himself/herself freedom and earn citizenship through service to their Noble Lord. Easiest way to become a citizen is to serve in the military of House Vandron.
The Citizens of Karfeddion are highly patriotic and loyal to their Noble overlord. They believe in service to the State and the highest honor and rewards comes from serving the Noble Family. With high levels of incentives and stiff competition, the Noble House of Vandron is able to coerce its people into participation and service to their greater schemes, for what promotes House Vandron, promotes all of Karfeddion.
Technology: Through bouts of isolationism the technological pathway of Karfeddion and the greater Senex-Juvex system has move in a slightly different path than the galaxy at large. While on the same level as most of the galaxy in terms of industrial and civillian technology there is a greater reliance on treaded vehicles and propeller aircraft. Facilitating their belief of cultural superiority is a strong tradition of human augmentation with cybernetic implants. Military technology has been geared more towards solid beam weaponry and kinetic technology.
Satellites: There is a single medium sized Garrison Moon. While it lacks it's own oxygen, there are several mining and military facilities located on it's surface. It has refueling stations for Naval forces and several squadrons of fighters and bombers are able to be garrisoned there.
Capital City
History: Senex-Juvex has several agricultural worlds, however Karfeddion has historically been the breadbasket and center of the agricultural economy for the system. Long ago, House Vandron chose the planet when they learned of it's rich soil and temperate climate. They quickly established large plantations and bequeathed land in a feudalistic fashion to their most loyal followers. With an entitled landowning class who vied for power and prestige there was a need for labor to build their society. In an era were droids were expensive and simple, the Senex-Juvex Lords turned to Slavery. Slave raids filled the fields and orchards of the planet with slave labor and helped House Vandron become first amongst equals among the other Noble Houses of the Senex-Juvex system. Built on the backs of slaves Karfeddion quickly became a developing planet, however very early on there were strict environmental regulations and controls to keep pollution from tainting the atmosphere, water and soil. Therefore only 1 major city was established, Vandron Prime, however in time as the population swelled, there eventually came to be 5 cities spaced fairly evenly across the planet. In times of crisis, House Vandron could stop food production, giving them significant leverage over their neighbors. Karfeddion has never been invaded or occupied by a foreign power. Today it is famous for agriculture, the breeding of excellent slaves and the wealth of House Vandron.

Intent: Several individuals might know of my desire to create an independent faction based upon a blend between Feudal practices and the ideology of Confucius China. I believe that there is room on these boards for that unique kingdom and I would like to introduce Karfeddion as the host of one of the most powerful of the Senex-Juvex Nobles Houses. Karfeddion offers to the galaxy a steady and neutral supplier of massive quantities of food that can be the basis for diplomatic RP and trade deals. Karfeddion is also home to the most profittable of the Senex-Juvex slave plantations, slave trade and slave trading that can bring us into contact with the powerful Hutt Cartel. Furthermore as a neutral planet, we can play host to spying between possible embassies or agents of both the Rebellion, Imperium and Cartel; we can be the host of cloak and dagger pursuits of fugitives, secretly hiding jedi from the sith etc.
