The Andalu Cluster

The Andalu Cluster is nearly an untouched frontier, a grouping of potentially settleable star systems on the far edge of the Daijax Nebula . Unlike the other major systems in Region Twelve , the Andalu Cluster is made up of several small burning stars once formed within the greenish blue Daijax Nebula , each of which now sit just outside of the soupy veil. Space debris is also frequently churned out of the nebula, making travel through the Andalu Cluster particularly dangerous. In addition to creating space navigation difficult, this steady flow of rock and ice will often collide with the planets within the Andalu Cluster , leaving pockmarks and craters behind.

Ryne, Andalu's First Star

Ryne I:

A massive purple gas giant, remarked for the beautiful patterns that ripple across its surface.

Ryne II:

A small volcanic world with ashen skies. Wide rivers of molten lava and eternally burning forests make this an especially inhospitable environment. A few elevated platforms were built above the fiery world early during the>Empire's occupation of Sector Twelve as Walker production sites. The effort was quickly abandoned however, as transporting the manufactured AT-ATs, AT-STs, and other Imperial hardware through the treacherous Andalu Cluster became too costly.

The toxic atmosphere is unsafe to breathe for long periods of time, making oxygen regulation masks a necessity whilst out in the elements.

Voxes, Andalu's Second Star

Voxes I:

A large world with foreboding forests. The trees of Voxes I are so massive, they completely blot out any light from reaching the forest floor far below, creating a perma-night for the nocturnal creatures that consider the dark forest home.

Smugglers and small exploration operations have been known to make the large treetops home, balancing large wooden landing pads between the tree's mighty branches.

Nilline, Andalu's Third Star

Nilline I:

An oblong conglomerate of ice and stone, formed centuries ago within the Daijax Nebula and now locked in orbit around the star of Nilline . A few independant outposts have been set up on Nilline I , as the nearby nebula is seen as a source of virtually untapped natural resources. Precious minerals within Nilline I , as well as some often found exiting the nebula, are mined for their worth and dispersed throughout Sector Twelve .

Nilline II:

A dark world, with twilight skies. Bioluminescent growth creeps out of deep crevices, which open up into massive caves far below the planetary surface. Deep dwellers, such as massive space slugs, are rumored to reside within the rocks of Nilline II .

Potential Roleplaying Opportunities:

The Andalu Cluster offers a potentially great reward, for those willing to take a great risk. Alternatively, pirates and wanted criminals have long fled to Andalu , hiding towards the edge of the Daijax Nebula behind the field of asteroids and debris. Those seeking the elusive Kiida System and the pilgrimage site of the Jedi Wanderers must also brave their way through the Andalu Cluster , to the edge of the Daijax Nebula , to where a Jedi Wayfinder can plot their course through to the system on the other side. For Jedi hopefuls hoping to get their hands on one of the limited Wayfinders , this is as good of a place to start their search as any.
