Keshandion

Keshandion is a partially urbanized tradeworld a few hundred light-years from Riesel. Despite how it still has vast swaths of green, untouched landscape and oceans, it boasts a population of over two trillion due to how large its most major cities are.
==Surface==
Roughly 80% of the surface consists of plains, forests, mountains, water, and other biomes. The remaining 20% is very densely urbanized.
===Cities===
For a planet with a comparatively small amount of urbanization, the cities it does have stretch miles into the sky, bearing testament to its wealthy past.
==History==
Keshandion was colonized around the year 2540 by an assortment of alien species. The local landscape was beautiful enough to be deemed worthy of protection, and thus only 20% of the land surface was allowed to be urbanized.
However, it wasn't long before new hyperroutes opened up elsewhere, along with better worlds with more trade value. Keshandion was essentially left to die for the following 600 years, waning and waxing in its population and upkeep, and its cities soon began to bear eerie resemblance to just another decaying excuse for a trade center.
===Rise of Obsidian Blade===
Just as it was with Riesel, the Obsidian Blade Syndicate took the opportunity to infiltrate and subvert the weak and dying world government. They decided to stay in the shadows, monitoring the government and manipulating it as they saw fit. On May 30, 3023, they enacted their previously dormant takeover plot. It is now a major hub for the organization, second only to Riesel.
