Gaeron

**Gaeron** was a terrestrial planet in the Cassiopeia Galaxy, covered in a varied biosphere of arid, cold, and temperate landscapes. The planet was home to a
cultural group of people called the Gaeronians and housed a colonial presence from the United Cassiopeian Republic.

## Description

A rocky planet, Gaeron was located in the southeastern reaches of the Central Expanse, far away from most United Cassiopeian Republic presence. The planet orbited a single yellow star and had four rocky moons of varying sizes. Gaeron was situated in the Gaeronian System, a star system that consisted of at least several other planets that orbited the same yellow sun as Gaeron.

The surface of Gaeron was incredible varied in terms of climate and terrain. There existed more arid environments like deserts and mountains, colder environments like tundras and taigas, wet environments like swamps and marshes, and temperate environments like deciduous forests and plains. Aside from these land features was a planetwide ocean that separated the different continents of Gaeron.

### Government

Having lacked a true central planetary government, Gaeron housed many different polities throughout its history. By the early 57th century ASA, some existing factions were:

* The **Exodus**, a fragmented empire whose presence was found scattered all throughout Gaeron's biggest continent, as well as on several other planets within Gaeron's star system. Ruled by an individual titled the High Starlight, the Exodus employed the help of magistrates who governed individual colonies and settlements of the empire. It was believed that the Exodus once dominated the entire Gaeronian System.
* **Walado**, a civil republic on Gaeron situated around the northern half of Gaeron's biggest continent, often found in areas by bodies of water. Led by an individual titled the Prime Councilor, Walado was governed by an elected council that oversaw the different colonies of the small republic. The people of Walado often traded with other relatively peaceful factions around Gaeron like the Exodus and the Gray Tree Tribes.
* The **Gray Tree Tribes** were a peaceful federation of tribal societies and settlements found scattered all throughout Gaeron's biggest continent, although more often found in areas with an abundance of trees. Led and united by an individual titled the High Chieftain, the Gray Tree Tribes were divided and led by different chieftains who operated within their own tribes.
* The **East Barons** were a hostile union of seafarers found on the eastern coast of Gaeron's biggest continent. Descended from outlanders not native to Gaeron, the East Barons ruled over the seas and its islands, led by an alliance of warlords who called themselves the Barons. Some colonies of the East Barons were also found in wetlands or rivers connected to the east sea.
* The **Comba People** were a massive nomadic tribe found on Gaeron's biggest continent. They were regarded as hostile and often hunted and enslaved others who were not members of the tribe. Led by an individual titled the Chief, the Comba People were just one of several hostile factions on Gaeron. It was believed that the Comba People were descended from exiles from the other Gaeronian factions.

## Inhabitants

The main inhabitants of Gaeron called themselves the Gaeronians, and consisted mostly of Humans, although other sentient species found throughout the Cassiopeia Galaxy were also found on Gaeron. The Gaeronians were divided into various different polities throughout their history.

### Sentinels

Sentinel Gaeron was gifted with the ability to grant others instant proficiency in various different skills. As Gaeron lacked a centralized planetary government, the role of its Sentinel depended on the faction they were born to. While the Exodus treated their Sentinels with high regard, the Comba People treated their Sentinels like servants and prisoners.

### Notable Figures

* **Geurllio Frank** - the Prime Councilor of Walado in the early 57th century ASA.
* **Proseria Kopusa** - a magistrate for the Exodus who was rescued by UCR colonists from Lonhe.

## Locations

### Oulocol Forest

The **Oulocol Forest** was a massive deciduous forest that spanned a large distance across Gaeron's biggest continent. Grasslands that served as clearings were sprinkled all throughout the forest, as well as several rivers. The Oulocol Forest was also home to much endemic wildlife, both gently docile and ferociously hostile.

### Gama Flats and Gama River

The **Gama Flats** were an expanse of salt flats just west of the Exodus settlement of Lhazi. A river, called the **Gama River**, flowed through the Gama Flats.

### Lonhe

**Lonhe** was the first colonial city established on Gaeron by stranded colonists from the United Cassiopeian Republic, founded at the beginning of the 57th century ASA. The settlement of Lonhe was situated within a clearing in the Oulocol Forest, just south of a river.

### Thainga

**Thainga** was a colony of Walado and the closest peaceful settlement to Lonhe. Thainga was north of Lonhe and was home to several thousands.

### Lhazi and Lhazi River

**Lhazi** was a colony of the Exodus and was overseen by magistrate Proseria Kopusa. Lhazi was southwest of Lonhe and was home to nearly a hundred thousand loyal citizens. The city was situated against a river called the **Lhazi River**, to which the settlement derives its name from.
