Roxapel

**Roxapel** was a terrestrial planet in the Cassiopeia Galaxy, covered in jungles. The planet was home to the Roxapelese, a cultural group of people with mixed Penumbrian-Pithecan ancestry called Penuthecans.

## Description

A rocky planet, Roxapel was located in the southeastern reaches of the Central Expanse. The planet orbited a single star and had seven miniscule rocky satellites.

Incredibly dense jungles covered the surface of the planet, with tall trees that often masked traces of civilization found on the ground. The planet was subjected to much chaos throughout its history, plagued by pointless wars.

### Government

By the 60th century ASA, there were at least two opposing polities on Roxapel: the **Teho Dynasty** and the **Ohjaus Empire**. These different states often fought one another for control and resources in a series of wars. Many other warring polities formed and fell throughout the planet's history.

## History

### Colonization and Troubles

Thousands of years before the 60th century ASA, Pithecan and Penumbrian settlers decided to colonize the jungle planet and call it their home. Eventually, due to culturally mixing, the settlers gave rise to generations of Penuthecan citizens who came to call themselves Roxapelese.

Unfortunately, throughout the planet's history, different political factions formed over time and began to quarrel with one another over territory, ideology, and resources. Such polities included the Teho Dynasty and the Ohjaus Empire. These two governments were just two of many that formed throughout the planet's history, many of them having also fallen to war. Some other galactic powers, like the Kawalans, also contributed to the chaos of the planet by supporting specific sides of war.

### The Tejo-Ohjaus War

For much of its history, the city of Teua remained relatively untouched by the wars that surrounded it, as the city was hidden away within the dense jungles of the planet. But in 5956 ASA, Teua was conquered by the Teho Dynasty during their quest to expand their territory. Not too long after, Teua was forced to join the ongoing war when the Ohjaus Empire attacked as a result of becoming Teho Dynasty territory.

During this attack, a merchant named Anto Rauhaa fled his home city of Teua, witnessing the warring states of Roxapel fighting one another with cruel, unethical acts of war. This ordeal caused him a great deal of trauma as he eventually fled the planet of Roxapel altogether. Of course, the planet continued to be ravaged by war even after Anto fled, in what became known as the Tejo-Ohjaus War that saw the deaths of thousands if not dozens of thousands.

## Inhabitants

The main inhabitants of Roxapel were the Roxapelese, who were Penuthecans descended from Pithecan and Penumbrian settlers.

### Sentinels

Sentinel Roxapel was gifted with the ability to conjure up firearms out of thin air.

### Teua

**Teua** was a well-fortified city hidden in Roxapel's dense forests. The city's prime real estate kept it safe and outside from ongoing wars for quite some time, before it was eventually conquered by the Teho Dynasty.
