Iego Research Papers

Iego is a temperate world with areas of tropical forests, swamps, and a small desert; its defining feature is the Thousand Moons. Most of these moons are better classified as asteroids and are too small to even be appreciated, having formed from the remnants of planetary rings. While this is the defining feature of Iego, there is still much to be found on the planet itself. The wide range of climates on the planet has led to a large variety of local fauna, most of which has yet to be cataloged. These populations of local fauna can largely be found in the densely populated swamplands, where natural life thrives the most.

The history of Iego is difficult to comment upon, as much of it has yet to be explored, though active research is ongoing. Since all native fauna appears to be transplanted, it is clear that the planet was visited by galactic explorers before the Clone Wars, however, beyond that, little is known as any hyperspace coordinates for the planet were lost until its relatively recent discovery. It is known, based on wreckage of ships on the planet and among the orbiting moons, that the planet was invaded at some point, but details of any battles are obscured by the mists of time.

Lately, Iego has become a major point of interest for Black Sun, which established a firm presence in the region, including on the previously uninhabited moons in orbit.

This has led to multiple industrial and housing complexes being established in orbit as well as on the planet. In addition, there have been rumors of a happenings in the north of the planet, and even the presence of a cult worshiping powerful deities with powers similar to those possessed by force users. Due to the small size and cellular nature of the group, little more than rumors has left the planet at this

time.

Much of Iego has remained uninhabited by any civilization, however, it has seen a recent influx of immigrants upon the recent rediscovery of the planet. Residents are of a wide variety of galactic species, though there is a larger presence of Diathim on the planet than anywhere other than their homeworld of Millius Prime itself. The planet is rocky, and full of canyons and mountains; throughout those regions, the only known native flora, the Reeksa - a very large, carnivorous plant that is known to eat sentient beings alive - can be found. This has led many groups to seek refuge int he swamps where these plants cannot be found. Of course, there are myriad other dangers in the swamplands, but they provide settlers with more sustenance.

Iego is also home to the Xandu, a large creature which flies through the air on four wings and uses its large ears to hear prey at great distances. It is known for swooping down, grabbing the prey, and smashing them against the rocky walls of the canyons which litter the surface. This is conjectured to be another reason why few of the canyons are inhabited, and that only one major city, Cliffhold, has been established outside of the swamplands.
