Saleas

Template:!Planet InfoboxTemplate:Page Tabber/SaleasSaleas is the second planet in the Parvo-Aa system located in the Flower Galaxy. It is an icy world that has been partially melted by the increasing heat of Parvo-Aa, a red giant star. It is the homeworld of the Salakela species and serves as the capital of the Economic Federation of Saleas.

Overview

Saleas is the Salakela word for "home", and its original name by the extinct Corvelmar of Corleas is unknown. It is a planet that initially seems barren on the surface, but is in fact teeming with life beneath the partially melted ice shell.

It is one of the most important worlds in the whole of the modern history of the Flower Galaxy, as it is the capital world of the Economic Federation of Saleas, the second largest nation in the galaxy. It was also a major colony of one of the most influential species of the ancient Providence Union, the Corvelmar species. The Corvelmar would break away from the Union shortly before the fall, and would thus be spared from its events. However, they later destroyed themselves in war a few thousand years later.

Saleas was not always in its present state. For the vast majority of its history, it orbited the gas giant Torelask as its largest moon, and was entirely covered in thick ice, its surface a vacuum. It was later aquaformed by the Corvelmar in an attempt to create living space for them, before they were conquered by the Providence Union. After the fall of the providence union and the Corvelmar's destruction in war, Saleas froze over again, and sometime in the interim, a close encounter with another moon of Torelask ejected it from the gas giant's orbit. As Parvo-Aa aged, it brightened, eventually becoming a red subgiant, bringing Saleas within its habitable zone and causing the melting of much of the ice shell surrounding the planet's subsurface ocean.

It would later serve as the homeworld of the Salakela species, which would later break through the ice and colonize much of their portion of the galaxy. Saleas has served as the capital of the Economic Federation of Saleas ever since its founding. As such, it has the highest proportion of Salakela of any planet in the whole of the Flower Galaxy.

Due to its importance to the Salakela, many wars have been waged over control of the planet between various factions of the Salakela. However, so far no secession movement has been successful. The Economic Federation of Saleas was a part of many of the major wars in the Flower Galaxy, including the War of Saiheran Succession, but luckily the planet itself has remained mostly untouched by war.

Astrography

Saleas is located in the center of the Parvo-Aa sector, a region of the Frealee Arm comprising the nearest five hundred systems to Saleas.

This area of space is filled with many habitable worlds and life forms, with around thirty percent of stars in the sector having at least one world with native life. They may have been seeded by the Corvelmar, but this is unknown.
