Sepros, more formally known as Orian V, was once the throne world of the Sith Lord Urias Orian. It is a jungle world, covered in large forestry similar to the wroshyr trees of Kashyyyk. The surface of Sepros is filled with savage creatures and vicious beasts. Urias Orian imported various off-world species and monsters; rumour has it even beasts from the Dxun moon lurk beneath the canopy. It is rumored to have once been a source of Cortosis ore, though any veins have long since run dry. The light of Orian Major does not reach the surface of Sepros and the shadow lands are a breeding ground for many of the native and imported predators.

Population

The various races inhabiting Sepros are sometimes casually refered to as Seprosians in the same way as those from Corellia are Corellian or from Coruscant Coruscanti.

Humans

Humans form the main population but they are technologically primitive. They had served as slaves during the Sith Empire having been children of the original Dark Jedi born untouched by the Force and as such shunned by their elders. They lacked the knowledge to make use of the Sith technology left behind after Urias Orian died and were forced to complete with the other sentient races to survive, resorting to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. In the millennia since the humans slowly relearned how to use some of the technology, though their understanding remains minimal at best and they have only ever suceeded at bastardizing the machinery left behind.

Some of the humans who inhabit the shadow lands beneath the heavy layers of foliage have evolved into what are casually known as "ghosts". Their skin has been bleached white from the complete lack of sunlight and almost all are bald with hair a rare genetic trait. The ghosts are among some of the more savage and most primitive of the human tribes.

Ekind

In addition to the human tribes, the legacy of Urias Orian is apparent in a sub-species that inhabits the tropical regions called the Ekind. The Ekind are half-human, half-reptile and the product of years of Sith sorceries. The Ekind live almost exclusively in the jungles and seldom venture out onto any of the few open plains. Like the other sentinet races, the Ekind are split up into several tribes. Unlike the human population which is, by large, feudal in nature, the Ekind maintain a degree of mutual respect for the various Ekind tribes, though violence is not entirely unheard of.

Wookiees

It is unclear exactly when the colony of Wookiees first came to inhabit the jungles of Sepros. Some speculate they were brought there by Urias Orian intentionally and that the large trees are indeed the very wroshyr trees from Kashyyyk, brought along with the Wookiees. However, others believe Sepros may have been te work of more than just Urias Orian and point to even more ancient powers. The Wookiees live together in a large colony within the forest.

Structures

The principle building on Sepros was the Palace of Orian. It was destroyed in 18 ABY by Trevarus Caerick during a fight with a Kiln Tobasa. In the past the palace once served as the home of Urias Orian and prior to its destruction was the largest structure in the system and a monument to the Sith Lord's vanity. In addition to the main palace, seven smaller temples formed a circle around it, all several kilometers away. Upon Clan Naga Sadow's move to the system one of the surviving towers was refitted to serve as Sadow Palace. Though it remains much of its original Sith architecture and technology, additional facilities such as a fully functional HoloNet transciever have been installed.

Sepros has a number of cities, the largest being Anta Kinan which lies along the edge of the great northern sea on the main continent. The cities date back to the Sith Empire when Urias Orian ruled the planet and have long since fallen into disrepair, the species left behind being forced to make do with their minimal understanding of the largely Force-based technology within the ruins. Most of the cities are inhabited by the remaining humans though a small number have been taken over by the Ekind.

The natives attitude to the Sith has been strongly influenced by the limited remaining history available in the ruins. Some of the tribes harbour a deep hatred for Force-users for having been treated as outcasts and slaves during the days of the Sith Empires. The Ekind, in particular, dislike most other races for the experimentation that led to them being as they are. Despite the generalisations, a few of the tribes revere their ancient Sith masters and considered Urias Orian a god who they believed would one day return to them.
