Correx Nova is a vast trade collective scattered across several space stations, ship berths, satellites and small moons in close orbit around the gas-giant of Varca. While Correx Prime may be the political heart of the Sector, Correx Nova is its commercial centre. The majority of goods that past into and out of the Sector pass through Correx Nova, and it is here that goods and cargo manifests are inspected, recorded and taxed before being transferred from local freighters or massive space barges that run the trade routes into the Galactic Core.

This requires a huge number of services, and the entire system is overseen by guild masters personally appointed by the nobility of each of the houses. Tariffs are collected, filling the coffers of the noble houses, but they, in turn, pay a sizable proportion to the Empire. Corruption, smuggling, bribery, tampering and theft are inevitable, and Princess Xedvan is the undisputed master of the darker aspects of the trade hub. Her base of operations is the luxurious place at the center of the trade sector on the largest station, and her power that on a whim she can shut down most operations within Correx Nova, and thus the Sector.

The shipyards are where her influence is weakest; here the mechanics and shipwrights are allied in powerful and belligerent trade unions that keep her at bay. The entire collection of myriad orbital bodies and stations are protected by an array of defensive systems. Those fools who attempt to raid Correx Nova rarely if ever get a second chance.

Aariat is infamous as the most savage penal world for several Sectors. Even before the rise of the Empire, it was used as the dumping ground for the very worst of the galaxy’s convicts; most prisoners would rather be killed on the spot then sent there. The high rotation of its magnetic core has turned the planet into a violent dynamo, massive lightning storms strike the planet. Special automatic prison ships deliver prisoners to the surface. In recent years the Empire has been using the planet as a political prison.

Viani is a tide locked world, where one side of the planet always faces the sun leaving the sunward side a burnt-out husk and plunging the other into eternal darkness and freezing cold. But in the twilight rim between the two halves, an Imperial cult of the Viani thrives.

During the Clone Wars, the ruling nobles sided with the Separatists, producing numerous war droids and vehicles in their underground factories. Out of the rise of empire stories relating to Palpatine and his sacrifices during the Jedi Betrayal started to be whispered across the planet, the people started to believe the stories as holy texts, and his edicts and decrees as religious doctrine.

Viani’s factories have been rebuilt, and now serve the Emperor providing him with the weapons to maintain his vigil of peace over the galaxy. It is believed that the most loyal members of the Imperial Royal Guard are from Viani.

Draca is famed across the sector as the homeworld of the Dracan war machine, a brutally efficient militant society where death and honour a sacred. The tide-locked world is, in fact, a moon of a super-massive gas giant in the mid-outer portion of the Draca system, and while it receives little light from the red dwarf sun, the atmosphere and glowing auroras of the provides ample light. Combined with the active geothermal activity caused by its proximity to the gravitational field of the gas giant, Draca can support life in this cold corner of the galaxy. Normally a simple mining planet like Draca would never have developed much of a population at all, but several factors combined to give a significant population. The moon is crossed by winding mountain ranges that rise out of dense ‘oceans’ of semi-caustic poisonous gases, beneath which lie volcanic seams rich in mineral wealth.

Numerous mining stations work these seams, operated by acid-resistant mechanized labour and hardly souls in hazmat suits, and these stations provide the massive munitions factories on neighbouring Siccidde all the resources they need. Draca’s early history was marred by the eradication of the indigenous lifeforms that continually attacked the mining operations, and this bloody history was the origin for the militant society found on Draca today.

Draca’s fortress-cities are built on the mountain ranges, and here the various families still maintain diligent martial training. Its is not unusual for entire families to do nothing but serve in the military machine, and many families have a proud tradition of having served for generations, recognised as producing some of the most highly trained officers and troops. Draca has been known to lease out its legions during times of war, and readily send its troops to maintain battle competence across the galaxy. Draca is now controlled by House Vykarius who are very aligned with the philosophy of the Empire.

Barhok is a blistering hot slave world where billions struggle beneath three blood-red suns to carry out the will of their masters. The slavers demand utmost loyalty and obedience. The Slaves are bound by the use of indigenous wildlife, small serpents, strange little flying drakes that glow a luminous gold and are soul bound to their slave. Neurotoxins from their fangs keep their prisoners obedient when necessary, though free thought and speech is sometimes permitted.

Those that step out of lie are simply bitten and robbed of will, those that develop immunity to the poisons are quickly executed. Under a hierarchical regime, the slave armies have built many wonders in the name of their masters, this includes great cities of spiralling towers that loom up out of the deserts. To what purpose these constructions are made has always remained obscured. Attempts to break this cycle of eternal slavery was lead by the Jedi of the Old Republic but failed – there were simply too many innocents in the slave armies that were arrayed against them. The Empire has yet to decide what must be done with them; at the moment they are of limited use to the Emperor. As a precaution, they have assigned an Imperial Governor to the world.

Calligrattica is a dry, dusty world, perfect for the preservation of its vast collections of ancient tomes. Scholars first came here to study the astonishing Towers that hollowed out from the carapace of mountain-sized beetles that have been long dead on the surface of the planet eventually the researchers simply chose to stay, there are several different university-cities. The Calligrattican Council is currently overseen by Governor Shri-Lan Tafo, who despite pressure from off-world authorities, maintains an open-door policy to all students that wish to study here. Students with Imperial upbringings do not take kindly to their non-human fellows, and xenophobic attacks have marred the last few semesters, drawing unwanted attention from the Empire.

Gweyr Krom is a purple crystalline world that serves as the corporate capital of the sector. All of the largest sector corporations maintain offices on the planet, in pristine cities nestled between shimmering spires and radiant peaks or along the shores of the sparkling deserts. Great chains of shard mountains cross the planet and pierce the sky, some reaching even into space; the wonder and cold beauty of this world are renowned. The transition from the Republic to Imperial rule was relatively smooth; the citizens value peace and security above all things, and Governor Jaira Rholar has done much to ensure this tranquillity is maintained, though at great cost to personal freedoms. Public outcry and dissent are virtually unheard of; the Empire considers Gweyre Krom to be a role model world for the sector and recruits heavily from youth seeking something more adventurous.

Ravenholt is a verdant world named after the sentient black-winged birds that soar over its lush dark forests and lofty peaks. Waterfalls spill down great mountains to feed a broad network of cool lakes and rivers, and much of the world remained untouched under the stewardship of House Vaspasa. It was sparsely populated, with only a handful of cities concentrated on the northern continent where rustic arts and harmonious architecture blended with the great trees of the forests.

This philosophy was reflected in the cities’ artisans and craftsmen, who were famed for their exquisite woodcarvings and independent head-strong manner. Of course, all this has changed since the demise of the Republic, since the rise of the empire the world is the focus for rampant industrialization; the old trade-in pharmaceuticals, rubber, wood and other natural products were superseded with vast opencut mines and refineries that draw precious trillenium ore from the earth.

An essential metal in the manufacture of starship components, the trillenium trade has swelled House Vaspasa coffers and they have not been idle; whole cities have risen out of the pristine forests and massive shipyards are currently under construction in several regions around the planet.

The Sector Army is based here, and while the majority of the Sector Fleet has been dispatched in the far reaches of the galaxy in the hunt for the rebellion, two Imperial-Class Star Destroyers now orbit the planet. What the indigenous forna think of these interlopers in their forests and skies no-one can be sure, though the few of the remaining woodsmen who remain are certain that the creatures have their own plans to rid their world of the accursed Vaspasa.
