Name: Raydor
Coordinates: L2
Hyperlane: N/A
Climate: The climate varies depending on the region. Generally, all the regions experience the full range of seasons to a degree. For example, The temperate forests experience more mild winters than the frozen tundra.
Terrain: Raydor’s terrain ranges from vast lush forests, to towering frozen mountains, and everything in between. Temperate forests make up the majority of the planet’s surface and house a significant portion of the planet’s inhabitants. Please see the faction dossier for major landmarks associated with the Paladins of Mortis.
Rotation: Day and night are unextraordinary. The planet has a standard 24-hour rotation cycle with a 365 day rotation around the sun.
Inhabitants: The inhabitants of Raydor, whom call themselves Raydorans, are humans that have lived on the planet for several centuries and are unused to visitors; the Paladins of Mortis arriving out of the blue is likely to be a shock to them.
Resources: Raydor does not have any unique or large natural resource deposits.
Government: Varied. Raydor's indigenous inhabitants are not large or centralized enough for a single government and their settlements are mostly independent, though interconnected and relatively close together.
The Paladins of Mortis and their civilian retainers follow a feudal style of government, broadly defined as between lords, vassals, and serfs-- protection and land in exchange for labor and services. Due to recent, extensive losses of personnel, this system is currently incredibly streamlined and will eventually be normalized.
Culture: The indigenous Raydorans are largely rural, with a small number of settlements that could be called cities. They're largely self-sufficient and follow their own laws due to being on the rough edge of the Outer Rim with relatively little contact with outsiders.
The Paladins of Mortis and its civilians follow the teachings of the Church of Mortis. This is a distinctly unique view of the Force and how the galaxy was created, and their overall culture is tied to this view and the style of government that evolved in the Church's domain. The full tenets of the Paladins of Mortis in particular can be found in their faction dossier.
Technology: The people of Raydor are more-or-less technologically on-par with much of the civilized galaxy, though their relative isolation means that their technology is usually decades-old. The Paladins of Mortis, on the other hand, are also more-or-less equivalent to the rest of the Galaxy, but most, if not all, of their current technology was created in their own isolation from the Galaxy due to their society having been large enough to sustain its own interstellar economy.
Satellites: One moon.
History: Raydor is a mostly-unremarkable planet that was first encountered by a small group of Jedi thousands of years ago. This group attempted to make a colony on the planet, but eventually abandoned the planet due to being isolated from the rest of the Galaxy. The planet remained uninhabited for many years until, within the last few hundred years, the planet was colonized by immigrant species from the Republic. Most recently the Paladins of Mortis and as many civilians as they could bring have picked Raydor as a suitable spot to call their new home, possibly drawn by the ancient Jedi temple on the planet.
Intent: We are proposing a new Force based faction, the Paladins of Mortis. The Paladins have an original story line and history. The planet will serve the faction's main base of operations and home to the majority of the faction’s members. A fanon planet is necessary because for a completely original undertaking it’s helpful to have a blank slate to work from; If we had chosen a canon planet there was a large risk we would run into canonical issues. This allows us to explore the Paladins interacting with NPCs without running afoul of the canon planets/peoples.
