Lothal is a planet in the Outer Rim, in a sector of the same name. Historically speaking, Lothal is a peaceful agriworld - yet its rich history is one linked to the rise of the rebellion during the Imperial era, and its people boast of a strong independent streak. Lothal was subjugated by the Empire, who introduced extensive mining operations across the planet, as well as starfighter manufactories. Following the liberation of the world by the Rebel Alliance, it enjoyed relative peace as it recovered from the damage done by the Imperial powers. During the time of the First Order, the world was once again invaded and later liberated by the Resistance around the time of the Battle of Exogol.

In the modern Galaxy, Lothal is an agricultural world still, with the legacy of Imperial military occupation having lead to it boasting a small, but advanced, starfighter manufacturing industry. It is a member of the Free Worlds Alliance.

C L I M A T E & T E R R A I N

Located on the frontier of the outer rim, with close ties to the world of New Alderaan, the Lothal sector is in the extreme North-East of the galaxy, directly bordering the Calamari sector. Noted for its temperate climate, the planet has a terrestrial environment, with grassy plains, forests and fertile farmland, snow-capped mountains and shallow inland seas of freshwater. With a prairie wilderness and marshes, the planet is home to the Loth-cat and the Loth-wolf, and has strong connections to the force.

With most of its urban population focused on the eponymous 'Loth City', the planet was sparsely populated, with farming towns and villages being the norm. The planet had rich mineral wealth in certain areas, including scarce Kyber Crystals.

Lothal had a souther hemisphere, almost exclusively dominated by vast grassy plains, which could be accessed through a network of caves and tunnels beneath the planet's surface.

Whilst the history of the world during the Imperial era is well documented, what followed that period is less so. After the destruction of the second death star, Lothal entered a long period of economic and environmental renewal, seeking to undo the damage done to the planet by the empire. Whilst this process took decades, it was reasonably effective; and whilst scars of the imperial occupation can still be seen, the planets natural beauty was more or less restored. Lothal entered into the Republic with eagerness, and only left when it was occupied by the First Order during that tumultuous period.

Once again the people of Lothal took up arms against the invaders and seized their world back shortly after the Battle of Exogol.

Since then the planet has been a member of the Free Worlds Alliance, fiercely independent, Lothal looks to the horrors it experienced in the past, its people united in the common purpose of protecting their freedoms.

Lothal has rich agricultural resources, and exports foodstuffs as its main economic output. Whilst it boasts mines, the Government limits the extraction of these resources in order to preserve the planets environmental beauty. Lothal as a small, yet highly advanced, starfighter industry, and is a popular tourism destination.

Technologically speaking, Lothal is as advanced as the rest of the galaxy on average.
