Crosathas

**Crosathas** was a cold, terrestrial planet in the Central Expanse region of the Cassiopeia Galaxy. The planet was a colony of the United Cassiopeian Republic and was the home of the Crosathan cultural group.

## Description

The planet Crosathas was a rocky world located in the eastern reaches of the Central Expanse, specifically within the southern parts of the Lanh Sector. Crosathas orbited a single star and had no moons.

As an arctic world, the surface of Crosathas was covered in frozen plains, vast lakes, tundras, and natural hot springs. Cities on Crosathas were often built close to lakes for easy access to fresh water. Crosathas was famous for its pink opal deposits, situated deep within sedimentary rock layers.

### Government

The **Crosathan Parliament** served as the centralized planetary government of Crosathas. This Parliament operated under the jurisdiction of the United Cassiopeian Republic.

## History

### Colonization

Sometime after the Cassiopeian Civil Wars, war veteran Rin Crosathas led an expedition to the then-uninhabited and unnamed planet on behalf of the newly reorganized United Cassiopeian Republic. The planet was colonized and originally served as a temporary home for veterans and families whose homes were lost during the war. Most of the veterans and their families found themselves drawn to planet and enjoying its natural splendors, particularly the hot springs and cold lakes, and so most families decided to call the planet their new permanent home.

The planet was named Crosathas in honor of the woman who led the first expedition to the planet. Crosathas continued to grow as a colony of the UCR for hundreds of years, with the planet's population rising to the dozens of millions by the time of the Modern Era.

### Kamraji Immigration

In 5957 ASA, the planet Kamraji, which was over a thousand light-years south of Crosathas, was devastated by typhoons, forcing its inhabitants to flee off-world. With over a hundred thousand people displaced, the Crosathan Parliament decided to open its ports and borders to Kamraji refugees and allow for immigrant resettlement on their lands. The only requirement outlined by the Crosathan Parliament was for migrants to have proof of citizenship from Kamraji in order to be allowed entry into their spaceports. With the help of the Crosathan Parliament and its mother government, the United Cassiopeian Republic, countless Kamraji refugees were able to resettle on Crosathas and establish new homes for themselves and their families.

The immigration decision was covered by Stargaze News.

## Inhabitants

The inhabitants of Crosathas referred to themselves as **Crosathans**. Crosathas housed a variety of different inhabitants, consisting of Humans, Etelans, Aetherians, Heyrnese, Ologans, Varmnese, and groups of other sentient species. Most Crosathans adapted to the cold environment of their planet rather well. Magic was commonly used by the Crosathans, often to warm homes and as a form of self expression. Like most UCR worlds that embraced the outward use of magic, the Crosathans followed a particular set of rules so as to keep magic wielding a safe practice for all.

## Locations

### Ursathas

**Ursathas** was the capital city of the planet Crosathas and thus the main base of operations for the Crosathan Parliament. Situated against a vast, freshwater lake, Ursathas housed millions of people by the Modern Era. Natural hot springs were found not too far from city limits, which served as a popular destination for city denizens and visitors alike.

#### Ursathas Magic School

There existed at least one **magic school** in the city of Ursathas. This school taught students from ages 15 to 22 a myriad of safe utility spells, such as simple levitation, object mending, locating particular objects, and minor healing. The school also taught students a general curriculum found in non-magic schools, such as languages, maths, sciences, and history.
