Ostara’s surface is almost completely overgrown with dense woodlands and is largely left for itself as it doesn't contain any resources valuable to the Caelus Cartel. Ostara is also the trailing moon of a tri-moon cart with Elysia and Iosan. At the moment it is surrounded by a powerful and impenetrable ion storm, though the Taldryan Republic is constantly working on ways to bypass this storm.
Description
The Forests of Ostara
Despite being temperate and habitable, the jungles of Ostara pose major challenges for its inhabitants. Due to the moon's constant rains and wet climate, mechanical devices do not last long and require continuous maintenance. Moreover, the moon is devoid of any resources valuable to the syndicate and has been seen as little more than an overgrown asteroid.
Ostara’s biosphere is big and varied, featuring numerous of the Galaxy’s most recognizable and infamous predators. At least two different types of rancor have been noted to roam the moon. With the unusual concentration of predatory animals, colonization was overlooked by the Empire.
Although unimportant to the members of the Caelus Cartel, for the members of Taldryan attuned to the Force, Ostara revealed itself to be balanced in the Force, making it a point of interest for Taldryan as they see the possibility to erect temples for themselves on the moon.
Notable Landmarks
Unknown Temple
Unknown Temple on OstaraIn a later event, Taldryan will stumble upon a lost temple hidden under a natural promontory. It is unknown whether it served a single Sith Lord to be worshipped by his followers or was used as a training site for them. The temple has been abandoned for several centuries and there remains no connection to the Dark Side within its halls.
History
Pre-Taldryan
Before the fall of the Empire imperial forces discovered and mapped it. Despite this they developed no interest in the moon as, compared to Perune, it holds no valuable resources, and the constant rain made it a less optimal site to built a colony than Chyron.
