History
Veridion is the farthest planet from the binary stars of Antares and Ante, the Dark Star. Most astronomers within the Brotherhood consider it a “Dwarf Planet” and not a true planet. It is bluish-white in color whose surface is entirely tundra.
During the Obscuration, due to its orbital position, it was one of the few planetary bodies that suffered no damage or climatic changes from the merger. It remains today much as it was some 3,000 years ago.
Beneath the frozen plains of its surface, Veridion possesses an oceanic system replete with aquatic life. The Choifam Ocean lies at an average depth of fifteen kilometers below the planet’s surface. Its sea life ranges from simple-celled organisms to more evolved species of fish and mollusks.
Though the planet holds no economic or strategic value for the Brotherhood, it has found use as a permanent research facility for Krath scholars consumed with understanding the unusual composition of the merged Antei and Antares Systems.
The world’s spatial perspective on the combined systems allows for excellent observations of how they interact and function as well as their effect on the Shroud and its navigability.
Landmarks
Ice Outpost 4
This outpost is the abandoned first attempt at a permanent research facility on Veridion. It lies at the equator and consists of some older abandoned equipment and rudimentary temporary habitats. It is an excavation only and no substantial work was completed. This was due to the site’s untenable equatorial position not affording a proper view of the system’s structure due to the moon’s axial tilt.
Ice Outpost 5
Located near the planet’s north pole, this rudimentary outpost was built within the last year as a precursor to a more permanent facility. Work was halted at the onset of the Sixth Great Jedi War and has yet to resume. When completed, the facility will encompass quarters for 500 researchers, an astronomical observatory, and small spaceport.
Political Outlook
Veridion is mercifully free of political interest due to its strategic unimportance. It is slowly becoming an important center of scientific discovery as the Brotherhood seeks to understand more about its home’s past.
Military
Due to Veridion’s remote location, the Brotherhood has seen fit to equip it with several squadrons of Mark I Vulture droids as well as a platoon of surplus Droidekas. This garrisoning was mostly due to the uncertain nature of the last Great Jedi War in order to protect the rather considerable investment of equipment and material already on-world from marauders.
