Satis

*"Satis? Well I guess if there was a place out of the way for me to deliver the package that would be it."* - A bounty hunter discussing with their client where to deliver their target

Satis was a humid desert planet that was stationed in the large and expansive Outer Ring of the galaxy inside the Satis system which was regarded by many criminals and outlaws to be a quiet and out of the way part of space, at some point the Grandmaster of the Knights of Dusk named Holden Lavigne would venture to Satis and other planets in the hopes of establishing multiple temples and meditation sites across the Outer Ring for his Order to be rebuilt from. Due to the planet's heat its once vast oceans and rivers have now been majorly turned into deserts and dunes forming canyons alongside its desert rocky mountains from which some settlers live around in order to find shade, the planet's biggest settlement is known as Taala and acts mainly as a hub for farmers and merchants alike including meetings between criminals. The planet is under the rule of a criminal baron named Soont Harand who rules planet from the neighbouring world of Sapra running things such as drugs and minerals off of Satis using the mining transports off-world to smuggle his drugs into the Mid Ring alongside some clubs and bars inside of Taala.

## Description

Satis originally was an uninhabited planet that contained large plains and even bigger oceans providing a vast and lush wildlife and eco system which at that point made it one of the perfect planets for Holden Lavigne to begin construction on the Satis Temple on the planet to serve as one of the various locations that members of the Knights of Dusk could gain respite from, eventually over the years the planet would suffer extreme heat waves that would dramatically change the planet's terrain drying up the large oceans forming canyons and long endless deserts and dunes forcing many people to abandon the planet whilst the few that remained would adapt by setting up farms that would grow a specialised plant that was able to produce water. Over the years the planet would be known as a barren backwater planet until many farms and other smaller businesses would clump together forming the city of Taala which acted as a proper civilisation that planet had not seen since its geographical change meanwhile in the mountainous regions of the planet rare minerals and ores were being discovered which local criminal Baron Soont Harand would capitalise on using his own mining company to solidify himself as a legitimate businessman whilst using the mining transports as a cover to transport and smuggle his drugs and other substances into the Mid Ring.

## History

### Early History

#### Knights of Dusk

After the Dusk War came to a close in 2038 A.G.C the Knights of Dusk would disband quickly with many members turning on each other causing the Order to implode as one member named Holden Lavigne would travel away from the Mid Ring and ventured into the Outer Ring, originally he travelled across the expansive region in hopes of finding a purpose or to simply live a life away from the Knights of Procyon and the Empire of Sudaetti and he would eventually land on the peaceful planet of Satis. Upon arrival Holden sensed a large feeling of peace and tranquillity that surrounded the planet's energy and atmosphere in which he had never felt before leading him to traverse its terrain and admire its wildlife, for a few weeks Holden would decide to settle and live on the planet living amongst the animals and using the planet's natural resources to live off of until he received a vision of the Knights of Dusk once again being rebuilt and helping maintain peace in the Outer Ring whilst maintaining a level of freedom that Holden believed the Empire of Sudaetti was not providing. This vision would set in motion the idea for Holden to begin constructing a temple on the planet being the Satis Temple which would be the first temple and home for the new Knights of Dusk that he would personally train to help fulfil what he saw, the first few months would be hard as Holden knew it wouldn't be easy to train new members in a doctrine that he was still interpreting himself and so trying to project this ideology onto his students proved difficult.

### The Empire

#### New Satis

It is unknown as to exactly when Satis' geographic climate changed however it would supposedly be the reason as to why the Knights of Dusk moved off of the planet only returning to the temple on rare occasions with the planet becoming a barren desert with canyons and mountainous regions, with the planet once again being uninhabited many people from nearby systems and planets would begin settling on the world by setting up farms that would be able to grow a certain type of plant that was able to provide a viable water source on the desert ridden world. During the Ravaging War the pirate warlord group known as the Vulkid Collective would claim large portions of the Outer Ring however Satis would not be one of these planets as they didn't deem it important enough for them to claim, despite this the Knights of Dusk would use the temple on the planet as a secret outpost to continue monitoring the activity of the Vulkid. By the time the war was over the remaining members of the Order left the planet to deal with a new threat known as the Serpent Order who would go on to destroy the Knights of Dusk and infiltrate the Empire, as this happened the planet for a while remained as a simple desert farming planet being untouched by either war or criminals which led to growth of population over the centuries so much so that the city of Taala would be constructed and acted as the main capital settlement for the planet. As the planet continued to progress in both civilisation and agriculture travellers on the planet who ventured near to the mountains would uncover new minerals and ore which were very valuable and so began setting up a mine, this mining site would get passed around as a story for rich reward which eventually garnered enough attention that Soont Harand who was a criminal and Baron on the nearby planet of Sapra would take over all of the mining sites unifying them under his own mining company that he used to legitimise himself as a businessman within the Mid Ring allowing him to form connections with other bigger people. With his new mining company set up Soont would begin transporting the ore off-world to Sapra where he turned it into types of metal whilst also placing drugs inside some of the transports which would eventually head to the Mid Ring, this new drug smuggling ring and legitimate metal import would boost Soont's business making him richer and richer.
