Intro
Nfolgai
History
Geography
Nfolgai is lined from pole to pole with endless large sweeping mountain ranges concentrated in the northern hemisphere, with no bodies of water anywhere on its surface. Due to the higher elevation and endless peaks to the north, the planet has drastically different climate and land cover on each of its hemispheres.
Northern Hemisphere
The entire northern hemisphere of Nfolgai is covered in large sweeping mountain ranges towering into the upper atmosphere. This leaves most of it arid with all moisture contained nearly year round in polar ice caps.
Climate
The temperatures are freezing almost year round at the pole covering it in ice caps. As you move south away from the northern pole of the planet, the higher elevation of the mountain ranges create a rain shadow, and when combined with the low temperatures it keeps the rest of the hemisphere covered in mountainous cold arid deserts that sustain hardly any vegetation at all.
Biodiversity
The arid biosphere of the northern hemisphere supported almost no animal or plant life. The far northern polar ice caps never reaching a temperature capable of sustaining any life, closer to the equator were hardy mosses and flowers, but no sentient or animal life.
Southern Hemisphere
The southern hemisphere of the planet was also covered in mountain ranges and polar ice, but diverged at the equator creative valleys tucking away jungles and swamps and the only opportunity for sustained life on the planet.
Climate
The lower elevation and valleys allow the temperature to reach a level capable of sustaining life. Although semi arid in the peaks, the valleys of the southern hemisphere contain jungles dense with vegetation and swamps where the only standing water on the planet collects. Towards the southern pole of the planet the temperatures drop as the mountain ranges come back together creating subarctic climates with ice caps existing only at the most southern tip.
Biodiversity
The jungles and swamps of the southern hemisphere contain their own ecosystems. Due to the mix in minerals in the mountainous terrain covering nearly the entire plane, all flora in these jungles and swamps contains an exceedingly high level and complex mix of metallic content. This result renders all radar and scanners nearly useless.
Plants
There were at least a dozen species of trees in the jungles towering high into the air between the mountain ranges, making up a dense canopy. A few of the stronger species of trees with thicker trunks and leaves emerge beyond this canopy seeking the bright sunlight.
The thick canopy of treetops blocked light, but various vines climbed their way up the tall trees reaching for sun making up the understory. Below it on the dark wet forest floor where sunlight rarely reaches are decomposing leaves from the trees above, and an unidentified number of species of ferns, fungi and mosses that have adapted to life with such little sunlight living off the decomposing matter.
In several of the deeper flatter canyons closer to the southern pole, the runoff from the mountains slows and creates two wide and massive swamp forests. Flooding seasonally, the swamps contain several of the same species of trees from the surrounding jungles that are more resilient to flooded conditions. Various unidentified herbs and small shrubs grow throughout and floating in the water.
Animals
The jungles of the planet are rife with wildlife. Consisting of mammals, including primates in the upper canopy along with countless birds, and felids lurking the jungle floors. In addition to these are various snakes and lizards. Even more numerous than the mammals and reptiles making up over 90% of the diversity within are insects: butterflies, spiders, ants, beetles, wasps and flies.
The swamps contain species capable of adapting to the fluctuation in the water levels. Snakes and various species of frogs and salamanders making up the majority. Several species of larger wading birds live in these areas as well, with a large variety of invertebrates under the surface of the water as well as the larval stages of many of the thousands of insects.
The Force
The influence of the Dark Side on the planet is hard to determine. During its time as a tomb world countless Sith Mausoleums were erected for Sith Lords by the slave populations. The energies emitted from these vary but the impact is real on the populations of the planet.
Every living organism on the planet has been diseased with the Dark Side of the Force. This has resulted in a maddening in some more intelligent species, while adding sophistication to swarming in the case of wasps in the jungles. At all levels of the food chain it has made the entire world slightly more treacherous, but all still hanging slightly in balance no doubt by the will of the Force.
Points of Interest
Demographics
Species
Native Species
No native intelligent species. The harsh environment of the planet has allowed for some basic life forms in the dense and dangerous jungles of the southern hemisphere. There were however several important species to the planet during the Ancient Sith Empire.
Imported Species
Humans
Human were one of three slave races brought to Nfolgai during the Ancient Sith Empire to erect the many Sith Mausoleums that dot its surface. Found throughout the galaxy humans were easily replaceable slave labor for the Sith Empire.
In the years following the fall of the Sith Empire on the planet all of the enslaved humans quickly died out. Unable to cope with the harsh environment and without the support of the Sith Empire for supplies, they stood little chance of long term survival.
Mrlssi
Two Mrlssi
Mrlssi are a feathered bird like species found from the planet Mrlsst. While as a young species their planet of Mrlsst was geologically unstable. Any buildings and possessions were destroyed with regularity. However, the Mrlssi discovered that knowledge would endure. They are famous for their high intelligence and ability to quickly reverse engineer technology.
Following the fall of the Ancient Sith Empire, the Mrlssi continue to survive on Nfoglai to this day. However they have very little in terms of commonality with their modern Mrlssi counterparts. The Mrlssi of Nfolgai have become creatures of basic emotion and instinct living in primitive tribal packs. While the species genius surely helped the original slaves survive on the planet, that ingenuity cannot be found in their descendants today. While more primitive, the One Sith discovered upon arrival that the Mrlssi had an unnatural connection to the Dark Side of the force.
Draethos
A Draethos
The Draethos are an incredibly long life span humanoid species from Thosa. Noted for their comical appearance of an drastic overbite, The Draethos also possessed the ability of telepathy.
As with the Mrlssi on Nfolgai, the Draethos can still be found on the planet today. Life on the planet has driven them to be primitive and basic tribal members. As well, upon the arrival of the One Sith it was discovered the Draethos had an unnatural connection with the Dark Side. This connection, along with the one found in the Mrlssi led the One Sith to discover the mausoleum of Sorzus Syn. Although primitive, the Draethos are savage warriors utilizing crude weapons and even basic force powers developed from the long years of life on the planet. In particular the Draethos make claiming the mausoleum of Sorzus Syn incredibly difficult for One Sith and Brotherhood members alike.
Languages
At the time of the Sith Empire the pure tongue language of Sith was used by the Sith overlords on the planet. Basic, Draethos, and Mrlsstese are assumed to have been used as well to communicate with the Humans, Draethos and Mrlssi slaves on the planet.
Presently the Mrlssi tribes continue to use a more devolved form of their native language. The Draethos continue to use the clicky native language of Draethos in addition to their telepathic abilities.
Population
It is currently unknown what the total population of surviving Mrlssi and Draethos are on Nfolgai. Both species of former slaves live in racial tribes in pockets throughout the southern hemisphere. A warren of Mrlssi has been found in the wreckage of the Render in the north, it is unknown if any of the other crashed ships house other small communities.
Urbanization
While at the time of the Ancient Sith Empire there were safe havens and structures to house the slaves working on the mausoleums, these have all been eroded away with time. Currently there is no real form of Urbanization. Both the Mrlssi and Draethos live in racially defined tribes throughout the southern hemisphere. All the tribes reside within the Southern Hemisphere, relying on the dense and harsh jungles for sustenance.
In the northern hemisphere a warren of Mrlssi have been found to be surviving within the crashed remains of the Interdictor-Class Destroyer Render. After over 3,000 years of subjection to the harsh frozen elements in the northern hemisphere, the Render is one of the only places of safe haven for the crazed Mrlssi who call it home.
Education
While renowned for their intelligence throughout the galaxy, the Mrlssi of Nfolgai have lost much of their ability for learning. Both Mrlssi and Draethos have demonstrated remarkable abilities at adapting to the planet, it does not appear there is any form of actual education in either of the races tribes. Both rely on a hands-on approach with younglings to learn to survive on the planet. This envelopes the most basic tribal needs such as hunting, shelter building and communication between tribal members.
Economy
Currently: None
At the time of the Ancient Sith Empire Nfolgai was a planet reserved for mausoleums for Sith Lords. Slaves were imported to work on the tombs and eventually left to fend for themselves when the Empire fell.
Major Imports
Currently: None
At the time of the Ancient Sith Empire: Slaves, foodstuffs, tools for building
Major Exports
None. Sith Knowledge is found upon holocrons littered throughout the Mausoleums on the surface which is what attracted both the One Sith and the Dark Brotherhood to the planet.
Space Presence
None from species on the planet.
1 Space Station housing a small settlement of spacers in low orbit, most likely pirates hiding here due to the lack civilization on the surface. Station is also protected with two squadrons of aged Ugly fighters. Cobbled together from various fighters, these two squadrons as well as the station itself pose little threat to Brotherhood Forces. Main threats to the Brotherhood in space are any One Sith ships that can be brought in system to defend the planet.
