Talus

Talus was one of the Twin Worlds located in the Corellian System, the other being Tralus, its sister planet. It was one of the five habitable planets in the system, and was a temperate world very similar to Corellia. It had a wide range of climates and terrain, including forests, grass plains and mud flats. 
==History==
Talus was roughly the same size as its sister planet, Tralus. Both orbited a common center of gravity and were together known as the Double Worlds. Talus held many mysteries for explorers. It was rumored that a planetary repulsor was located deep beneath the planetary surface. This device may have been used millennia before the Battle of Yavin to move Talus from an unknown orbit and into its current orbit.
The planet was mostly inhabited by three sentient species: Humans, the Drall and the Selonians. Although the three species mostly lived peacefully, there was a history of political conflict amongst them, usually marked by sporadic violence. Talus was also home to farmers and miners, including a noteworthy Zabrak colony.
Originally Talus was ruled by a monarch, usually a Queen. This tradition ended however with the reformation period. There were nobles still on Talus as late as 10 ABY, some even claiming to be heirs to the throne.
Around 500 BBY, the Federation of the Double Worlds was founded, which became the government of Talus and Tralus. The capital of the Federation was Dearic on Talus. Corellia, Selonia, and Drall allied in an attempted takeover of the Federation, which failed. The Federation was allowed a certain degree of autonomy under Imperial rule.
Like Corellia, Talus remained largely neutral in the early days of the Galactic Civil War. The Galactic Empire monitored Talus for Rebel activity, but allowed Fed-Dub initially to operate independently and didn't interfere with the planets major corporations until after the Corellian Absorption into the Galactic Empire, CorSec Agents took more interest in the planet. Although Talus wasn't as well known as Corellia, it had a vibrant economy that revolved around starship manufacturing. 
Following the continuation of the Galactic Civil War, Refugees began to turn up at the planet in hope of salvation. This swelled many of the city's populations and Talus became a hive of activity for the underworld.
