Geodor

**Geodor** was a terrestrial planet in the Cassiopeia Galaxy, covered in grand cities and oceans. The planet was a colony of the United Cassiopeian Republic and the home of the Geodorians.

## Description

The planet Geodor was a rocky world situated in the southwestern Metropolis Sector of the Outer Core, as one of the wealthier, more densely populated worlds in the UCR. Geodor orbited a yellow dwarf star and was the most populous planet in the Eulophian System. The other planets in the system were Imerin, Graphor, Claderia, and the eponymous Eulophia.

Geodor housed a generally temperate climate with sprawling metropolises bordering vast saltwater oceans breaming with aquatic life of countless different shapes and sizes. Geodor was also known for its many waterfalls, which made many view the planet as an "urban Cascade". The planet was once covered in dense rainforests, but most of the rainforests on Geodor were cut down to make room for mass urbanization and colonization. The only remnants of Geodor's natural lands were preserved in a large national sanctuary referred to as Primordial Park.

The national flower of Geodor was the Geodorian orchid, which grew abundantly by the waterfalls of the planet and all throughout its original rainforests. Even when the rainforests of Geodor were destroyed, the orchids endemic to the planet were continuously preserved for thousands of years.

### Government

The **Geodorian Parliament** served as the centralized planetary government for Eulophia. This Parliament operated under the jurisdiction of the United Cassiopeian Republic.

## History

### Colonization

Geodor was once an untouched planet with bountiful rainforests. While the first settlers of the Eulophian System first made their homes on the planet Eulophia (hence the name given to the planetary system), Geodor was eventually the subject of extreme colonization efforts. Much of the original rainforest topography of the planet was torn down to make room for the construction of massive cities. These efforts were made easier by the planet's first Sentinels, whose abilities both quickened the land-transformation process and further supplied the planet's inhabitants with food and water. In the following centuries, only one rainforest remained on Geodor, preserved in the form of national nature preserve called Primordial Park.

## Inhabitants

The inhabitants of Geodor referred to themselves as **Geodorians**. This Geodorian population included Humans and various other groups of sentient species found throughout the galaxy. The Geodorians were urbanites who worked in all sorts of industrial industries. Many Geodorians also worked in fishing and ocean-based industries, including marine science.

### Sentinels

Sentinel Geodor was gifted with the ability to transmute plant matter into drinking water and foodstuffs. Early Geodorian Sentinels worked effortlessly with the Geodorian Parliament to clear out the rainforests of the planet, converting the plant life of the natural environment into valuable resources for the greater population.

### Notable Figures

* **Thossa Chudrothol** - an Erythrosi pioneer who led the first expedition to the planet Chudrothol.
* **Walther Philibear** - a Human citizen who crash-landed on the planet Notera following a diplomatic crisis.

## Locations

### Shepherds' City

**Shepherds' City** was the capital city of Geodor and the main base of operations for the Geodorian Parliament. The city housed dozens of millions of people.

### Primordial Park

**Primordial Park** was one of the largest national parks on Geodor. This park served as a massive sanctuary preserving the natural rainforests of Geodor to an astounding degree, allowing urban Geodorians and tourists to catch a glimpse of the planet's precolonial conditions.

## Trivia

* The planet's name is derived from *Geodorum*, commonly referred to as shepherds' crooks, a genus of eight species of flowering plants in the orchid family.
	+ Geodor's sister planets derive their names from genera belonging to the Eulophiinae orchid subtribe.
