Mau

**Mau** was an arid terrestrial planet in the Cassiopeia Galaxy, covered with savannas and oceans. The planet was the homeworld of the Mauans.

## Description

Mau was the only planet in the Mauan planetary system, located in the Central Expanse region of the Cassiopeia Galaxy. The planet orbited a yellow dwarf star and had one unnamed, rocky moon.

Mau was an arid world with oceans and continents decorating its surface. Five continents existed on the planet: the Southeast, the Southwest, the Northeast, the Northwest, and the Middlelands. Mau was known for its tall fields of grass, located in the savannas and grasslands that dominated the continents. While deserts did exist on Mau, they were not common.

### Government

The **Kingdom of Mau** was the constitutional monarchy that ruled over the planet for most of its history. A monarch ruled over the kingdom, with the passing of the crown dependent on the right of primogeniture. While the monarch technically held the most power in the Mauan government, the **Mauan Parliament** was there to assist the monarch in the passing and enforcement of laws and legislature. A prime minister was elected via majority vote from the people.

While the capital of the kingdom was located in the Middlelands, the other four continents of Mau were each overseen by both a governor and a member of the royal family, be it a prince, a princess, or otherwise.

## Inhabitants

The inhabitants of Mau were the native Mauans, who were cats.

### Sentinels

Sentinel Mau was gifted with the ability to move, create, and manipulate stones of varying sizes. Most Mauan Sentinels were either public servants or members of the royal family either through birth or through marriage. Some Sentinels, such as in the case of Sentinel Petra Asafís, even held the title of monarch.
