Ropagi II Ropagi II was a planet in Kira sector , on the Enarc Run . It was an endpoint of the Kira Run and was home to two native species . Description . The planet had two continents , named Forethought and Afterthought and the poles were covered in large ice caps . A notable feature was the low gravity and the great flatness of the plains - covered landmass . It was said that no point exceeded more than 20 meters above the sea level . The average temperature of the planet was around 25°C and did not vary much over the year . The planet had one moon . History . Early History . The planet was home to two native species : The near - human Ropagu and the long - lived Kalduu . For as long as around 4000 BBY , the Ropagu had been constantly at war with each other and the land was divided in around forty - five nations . Each nation had different goals and agendas . The Kalduu eventually contacted the Ropagu and used their mental powers to subtly influence their thought patterns . With this , both species began a symbiotic relationship : The Ropagu gained insight in the Kalduu intellect , while the Kalduu consumed the bacteria and germs off their host ' s bodies . The Ropagu ' s society evolved into a peace - based one . Military training and methods were abolished and discussions became the mean to solve conflicts . While the more future - oriented philosophers resided on the continent Forethought , the more history - focused Ropagu lived on Afterthought . The two factions developed a rivalry and tended to look down on each other . The Ropagu also became very skilled in technical skills , such as droid maintenance and computer programming . A monorail network connected the cities on Forethought and skyshuttle service ran between all the planet ' s cities . While the Ropagu considered themselves above physical conflict , they still saw the need for armed forces . The Ropagu began to hire off - world mercenaries for security . With the system being along the well - traveled Enarc Run , Ropagi II became rich due its large natural resources . The planet also became the largest market for mercenaries . However , all off - worlders were restricted to a single city , called Off - Worlders ' Quarter , and several orbital platforms , which spared the planet the hazards of industrial pollution . While hiring mercenaries , the import of weapons was strictly forbidden and carried a sentence of two to twelve years of confinement . With the establishment of the Kira Run in 70 BBY , Ropagi became known as one of the " Twin Stars of Kira " . Imperial era . During reign of the Galactic Empire , the planet was one of the numerous member worlds . The Empire , however , rarely intervened in Ropagi II ' s politics . Defense of the planet was handled by Leesa One - Eye and a space force of six Y - Wings . Even after the Battle of Endor the Ropagu had not decided whether to support the New Republic or the Empire , but they would service both sides of the war . Inhabitants . Ropagu . The Ropagu were a race of near - humans with pale white skin , pink eyes and dark hair . They had a very fragile body and moved with cat - like grace . While their bodies were not suited for war , they were once locked in eternal conflict between different nations . Once the Kalduu began influencing the Ropagu ' s thought patterns , they became a peaceful race . Living in symbiosis with the Kalduu , the Ropagu now cherished peace , intelligence and discussions above everything else . Kalduu . The Kalduu were a long - lived non - humanoid race of telepathic beings . They had a hemispherical body and four tentacles . They moved by floating , often in complete silence . They shared a symbiotic relationship with the Ropagu , after they had manipulated them four thousand years ago . The Kalduu could use their telepathic abilities to communicate with themselves , forming a group mind , or with outsiders . These links could last for over a day . Locations . Arena of the Mind . This was a sacred place for the Ropagu , where intellectual debates could be held . It was an amphitheater with seatings for over 10 , 000 people . Most of the speakers were Ropagu , but off - worlders were sometimes invited as well . Great Library . A huge complex located at the edge of the city of Ebyl , it contained detailed recordings of the history of Ropagi II as far back as around 10 , 000 BBY . The staff consisted of numerous 3PO - series protocol droid s and anyone was welcomed . Off - Worlders ' Quarter . Technically not a quarter , but a city on its own , it was located in a large natural bay on the continent of Forethought . All off - worlders had to report here before being cleared to the rest of the planet . The famous mercenary markets were also located here , as well as a starport , cantinas and casinos . Behind the scenes . Ropagi II was first created for the roleplaying supplement book " Twin Stars of Kira " by " West End Games " . While the planet did not appear in any of the published adventures , it was elaborated upon in an extra chapter , written by John Terra . The planet was mentioned again in " West End Games " ' " Alien Encounters " , wherein both native species received an entry .
