Cerel

General

Cerel is the fifth planet in the Cirand-Hursel system. It is a frigid gas giant similar in size to Qesboth and Mallnbra. The planet was colonized in 12300 CE by the state-run Cerel Settlement Company of Zaramor. Currently, the planet holds the record number of graduates from military school from any world found in the system. Cerel also is the leading ship producer, due to it being close to the capital planet Zaramor.

History

Cerel was never home to any sort of creature. However, the same ancient beings that lived on Zaramor must have probed the planet around 34720 BCE. This has been discovered due to petroglyphs and papers found detailing an excursion to the gas giant from Zaramor. After the disappearance of the species, life never reached Cerel until the advent of humans. Sent by state order in 12300 CE, the first humans to colonize the planet readily had the technology available to live successfully. Such technology were the same machinations that could produce floating (levitating, more specifically) cities and shipyards as found on Qesboth and Mallnbra.

At first finding the planet uninhabited, the first human pioneers made it their objective to bring in the colonial government that would rule them for the next 797 years. The primary industry that employed most of the 175,000 settlers was searching for precious stones and metals. When minuscule amounts were found, the focus of Cerel's industry became shipbuilding and growing the numbers of the military. Two schools were established for the purposes of training the armed forces: the Naval Academy of the Domain, and the Pilot Institution. [Not finished]
