The world of Nam Chorios is in the Meridian Sector, which is a barren, unforgiving, moonless world that orbits a violet-white stat of the same name. The world has no seas, but there are endless wastelands of sharp, jagged rocks and basalt and quartz outcroppings. The nights are increadibly cold, and the chains of crystal mountains reflect the sunlight from there sparkling facets, and isolated crystal rock chimneys thrust skyward. Some 750 years before the Battle of Yavin, political prisoners were exiled to the planet by the Grissmath Dynasty, which seeded the world with insectlike drochs (carriers of the Death Seed Plague) hoping that the prisoners would all fall ill and die. The Grissmaths set up gun stations to prevent the escape of the prisoners, but the prisoners and their guards survived, farming the groundwater seams. The planet also has a strange effect on the Force, which is magnified and intensified by the entire planet, which makes Force usage difficult to control or focus. The main city is Hweg Shul, and the planet life includes brachniel hedges and scrub-loaks, crom and gomex mosses, lichens, podhoy, bolter, blueleaf, snigvine, bott, button-wood trees, and balcrabbian. The planets aniaml life includes blerds, gebbecks, alcopays, mikkets, insectlike flying narjams, and cu-pas (brightly colored mounts related to tauntauns but suited for hot climates). The drochs which burrow into the flesh and are absorbed, consume life and cause the Death Seed Plague, but the sunlight fragmenting through Nam Chorios's crystals weakens them. The Captain drochs, grown large from eating other drochs, are cat-sized and crab-like, with eyes on long stalks. For years the power on the planet had been ruled by Beldorian the Hutt and Seti Ashgad, a profiteer who had been exiled to Nam Chorios by then Senator Palpatine. Dzym a mutated droch kept Ashgad alive and young. Callista the onetime Jedi who had lost her force powers, also arrived on the planet, where Beldorian imprisoned her. Nine years after the Battle of Endor Leia Organa Solo secretly visited the planet to meet with Ashgad, who turned on her and took her prisoner befor unleashing the Death Seed Plague across the three quaters of the sector. He also planned to disable the planet's gun stations and allow the Loronar Corporation to strip-mine the smokies (Crystals). | |
