Metellos

=Metellos=
==Geography==
Metellos was the fourth of seven planets in the Metellos system, in the Coruscant Sector of the Core Worlds region. The planet orbited one sun, also called Metellos and had three moons that orbited the planet itself.

==Terrain==
Metellos contained seventeen immense stratablocks, which rose far above the surrounding land. Large tracts of shabby, toxic, extremely poor regions, as well as heavy industrial areas, lay between these stratablocks. To compensate for the overcrowding, over 1,000 floating cities were created for the rich. These cities were designed to resemble the magnificent floating cities of Ithor, though the design turned out to be blocky and ugly.
==History==
Metellos had an extremely high population of roughly 900 billion, and was a large producer of energy. It had a diameter of 12,600 km and three moons. Known as the "Coruscant that wasn't", Metellos was colonized by Coruscant before the formation of the Galactic Republic, in 25,200 BBY with the desolation of the Infinite Empire around this time, via the Herglic Trade Empire. Over many millennia, Metellos became extremely crowded, more so than Coruscant (despite it having a much smaller population), with much of the planet not urbanized. Large septic seas and barren deserts had not yet been overrun by durasteel. In 20,000 BBY the population of Metellos tried to establish a Hyperlane called the Metellos Trade Route, in order to reduce the planet's problems, resulting in only minor success in trading with Coruscant.
This may have resulted in the creation of the seventeen stratablocks above the ground, as well as the thousand decaying floating cities in the upper atmosphere (for the rich) to reduce the over population of the planet.
For thousands of years, Metellos had labored in the shadow of its flashier, glitzier, wealthier neighbor Coruscant in the Galactic Core], while the residents of Metellos struggled to make themselves known. Long after Coruscant had become a Galactic hub, a planet in the Deep Core, Empress Teta (then called Koros Major) in 5,000 BBY began to overshadow Metellos.
==Famous inhabitants==
The brash human female Weekat Matiren hailed from Metellos. She lived with her parents Geoff Matiren, the administrator of Sky City 217, and Karinda Black. She went to her Sky City's university where she majored in medicine. After graduating cum laude, she applied for the Stormtrooper Corps and left her home world for Carida to begin her military training.
