**Bastion**, formerly called **Sartinaynian**, is the capital world of the Imperial Remnant, a successor state to the former Galactic Empire, located in the Braxant sector of the Outer Rim territories. Bastion was located in the Sartinaynian system at the terminus of the Braxant Run trade route. The planet is covered in extensive metropolitan areas dotted with unsathed natural areas, including rolling grass plains and steep overgrown hills.

Originally, the term "Bastion" was reserved for worlds that housed the Remnant's Council of Moffs and where administrative centers were temporarily located. With the formal inception of the Imperial Remnant in 10 ABY, the planet was a close contestor to being chosen as its capital; ultimately however, Orinda was chosen mainly due to its rich deposits of iron and aluminum that could be used for the Remnant's war machine. After Tira Bashorye was elected as Head of State in 12 ABY, she relocated the government to Bastion to comply for Orinda's staggering population growth and to use the planet's approximity to a trade route as to stimulate economic relevancy.

Viewed astrographically, Bastion is unique in that it both maintains planetary rings and a moon. It orbits a binary star system of a brighter, white star and a smaller, orange one. Bastion is known for its exotic fruits, pleasing cityscape and beautiful night sky. The name change can be derived to its acceptance of being the Imperial capital, with "Bastion" eclipsing the former name out of necessity.

## Planetography

Bastion is a moderatly-sized planet orbiting a binary star system. It features a row of naturally formed planetary rings, as well as a single large moon in orbit. The planet is dominated by urban settlements and metropolitan areas, but also allows for natural surfaces to roam, with steep hills and rolling plains covered in vegetation as well as lakes and seas dotting the surface. Its warm climate, exotic fruits, orange-dyed beaches and astonishing night sky attract tourists since its border to the New Republic was opened in 10 ABY.

Even though the Imperial Remnant demilitarized in compliance with the Galactic Concordance and Bastion Accords, it is still heavily fortified, with numerous space battle and operations stations orbiting the planet stationed within its rings. Numerous military facilities are spread over the planet as well, and a significant space port and operations basis of its Imperial homeguarding fleet is located on its moon.

## Politics

As the capital world of the Imperial Remnant, Bastion is an important centre of politics in the galactic scheme, hosting a number of embassies and special consulates with the New Republic. It is the seat of the Head of State, Council of Moffs and all other government, military and civil administration institutions of the state. While Orinda is regarded more highly in terms of Imperial culture and economic activities, Bastion continues to be thoroughly important within the Remnant.

Bastion is represented by Moff Ephin Sarreti in the Council of Moffs.
