Alpheridies

Alpheridies was a planet in the Abron system, homeworld of the Alpheridians, and the adopted homeworld of the Miraluka.
Alpheridies was at the edge of a giant molecular cloud called the Veil. Unfortunately none of the standard trade routes passed near Abron, thereby segregating the system and its inhabitants from the rest of galactic civilization. As a result, the Miraluka (who migrated to Alpheridies 6,000 BBY when their world of origin entered into a phase of geophysical and geochemical instability during which the atmosphere began to vent into space) became an independent and self-sufficient species.
Since the Abron system's red dwarf star emitted energy mostly in the infrared spectrum, the Miraluka gradually lost their ability to sense and process visible light waves. During that period of mutation, the Miraluka's long dormant ability to "see" the Force grew stronger, until they relied on this force sight without conscious effort.
Gradually the Miraluka settled across the entire planet, focusing their civilization on agriculture so they required little in the way of offworld commodities. Though small industrial sections arose in a few population centers, the most advanced technologies manufactured on Alpheridies included only small computers, repulsorlift parts, and farming equipment.
The Miraluka followed an oligarchic form of government in which all policies and laws were legislated by a council of twenty three representatives, one from each of the planet's provinces. State legal codes were enforced by local constables - the need for a national force never came about.
Few Miraluka left Alpheridies. Most were content with their peaceful lives, and had no desire to disrupt the equilibrium. Over the centuries, however, many young Miraluka experienced an irrepressible wanderlust that led them off planet. Those Miraluka encountered away from Abron usually had a nomadic nature, settling in one area for only a short time before growing bored with the sights and routine.
Some Miraluka, however, did eventually settle down elsewhere. The species had at least one colony world, Katarr.
Little is known of the planet's native species, the Alpheridians.
