Location: Surrounding planets are Nal Hutta, Bothawui and Kashyyyk

Info: The planet is actually a small moon orbiting a larger barren planet that's devoid of life. It is much like a miniature version of Earth with various Biomes across the planet, but has more land then water. The world has also never been visited by other races (probably due to the long Ion storms making travel to the planet dangerous)

Weather: 4 Seasons (Spring to Winter) with varying temperatures and humidity depending on the area.

Population: 100 million

Government: Democratic Monarchy - A royal family runs the planet and when there is no one wishing to run against them the family stays in rule. But a new family can be elected, elections are held only once a year.

Calender: 459 day year, 12 months, each day is 28 hours, and each month is comprised of 38.25 days.

Unique Traits: The planet has a vast amount of force emanating crystals across the planet, huge expanses of crystal caves can be found underground and to the north there is a vast mountain range of force crystals.

The planet also experiences severe Ion storms for 11 out of the 12 months of the year. These storms make travel impossible for ships that aren't properly equipped. The Ion storms also seem to cloak the force presence of the planet to force users in the system's space. The storms also result in the planet being coated in darkness for that time.

Name: Qyvow (Kay-Vo)

Species: Humanoid Reptilian.

Appearance: They have pale scaly skin, with a body build very similar to humans but with visible reptilian traits. They have ears like Snakes, snake like nose, many small sharp teeth and a forked tongue. They have no hair. Their eyes look like a normal humans eye. Their hands and feet are human like but instead of finger and toe nails, they have claws. They also have eyelids like Humans.

Language:

Kaldori - they speak with hisses and clicks that are at such a high frequency that species with a hearing frequency like humans won't be able to hear it. It can be mistaken that they speak to each other telepathically. They can also make lower frequency grunts and roars.

Galactic Basic: Very few speak Galactic Basic, but most understand it.

Info: Average weight and height as humans, but age slowly making their maximum lifespan 175-180 years. Due to the large concentration of force crystals and high levels of the force on the planet, all people born on the planet are force sensitive (They did not call it the force until after they had heard of it on other planets) and because of their force rich world they are quiet powerful in the force but as they do not actively train themselves in learning new abilities (believing they will be granted the abilities through faith) they have a very small palette of force powers, the force also grants them great agility. The only force powers they use are Force Cloak, Force Push and Pull, Force Jump, Force Run, Force Heal, Mind Trick and Drain Life (a rare power that only 3 individuals have ever been granted)

Unique Force Ability: By concentrating on the presence of another being, they can see where that being is, and whats around it. Using less concentration they can see through the eyes of the being, seeing what it sees as it sees it. This ability is the only ability that is trained, and only the most skilled Assassins and Knights are taught the power. When using this ability, the users eyes glow white and is vulnerable to attack, it also takes great concentration to pull off and if used for too long can completely drain their force energy, requiring them to rest.

30 years ago they developed ships capable of space travel, their first test flight is when they discovered the severe Ion storms that completely surround their planet for most of the year. As a result they begin researching to design shields capable of traversing the Ion storms without losing power. But the notion of space faring vessels was well received by the people and desperately wanted to venture out into the galaxy. Star fighters were built and sent out as scouts to the nearby systems, the Hutts, Wookiees and Bothans were the first races the Qyvow encountered. With their window of space travel limited they quickly set about establishing small Intelligence Centers on Nal Hutta, Bothawui and Kashyyyk, these centers kept track of galactic affairs and would transmit the data back to Kaldori so the people could know of the goings on in the galaxy so they day they can finally travel freely they will know of most of the dangers in the universe.

But the revelation of space travel brought with it a devastating civil war. 10 years after the first test flight the war broke out and wrecked havoc to the planets cities and population. The war was recently won after 20 years of fighting, The Guild of the Faithful was the faction that took power and brought back the Democratic Monarchy.

The Guild of the Faithful are those that worship the Force, believing it to be a divine power bestowed to them and through unquestionable faith in it, they will be granted extraordinary abilities. The Guild's military consists of soldiers they call Knights, and Assassins. They also have normal soldiers and weapons and vehicles, Knights and Assassins are considered the Elite of their forces.

Knights were trained in the abilities to heal themselves and repel their enemies with the force (Force Heal and Force Push) and are skilled swordsmen, they used Vibroblades made with steel to deflect blaster fire (they obtained designs for Vibroblades from the Bothans) they also used powerful blaster pistols in combat as well as grenades.

Assassins are trained to use the force to hide themselves from enemies and to influence the weak minded (Force Cloak and Mind Trick) through these abilities they were able to slowly turn the war to their favor. Assassins used special gauntlets on both hands that contained an under-mounted retractable pointed blade capable of piercing basic armor (their trained to attack the joints on the waists, elbows, knees, neck, wrists and shoulders of armor) and is also capable of deflecting blaster fire, the top of these gauntlets have a powerful short range blaster that runs on energy cells, each cell allows for one shot, the blaster has a max effective range of 15 feet. They also sometimes perform sabotage missions and use small explosive packs.

They have heard the stories of Jedi and Sith and their battle to control the force. Qyvow don't believe in the notion of the Force having sides. And as such do not follow the teachings of the Jedi or Sith or even use those titles. They also do not use Lightsabers.

As the war went on, they shut down their Intelligence centers as the people operating them were called home to fight. Now with many cities in ruin, and the planets treasury close to being depleted (A few years after encountering other worlds, they adopted credits as their income) the ruling family is desperate to rebuild and has begun dispatching Assassins to other worlds to establish new Network Stations to gather information and credits by any means necessary (legal or otherwise) hoping to establish a spy network that spans the whole galaxy, but they know this will take many many years.

They recently developed an overcharge device for their star fighter's shield generator that gives a massive influx of power to the shields allowing them to pass through the Ion storms, but it will only last long enough for the trip through, if used for any longer it could malfunction and possibly explode and destroy the star fighter. They have yet to develop a strong enough overcharge device for larger vessels as the shield generator for a star fighter uses much less power then the ones for larger vessels.
