Jerrilek

A blue, tropical world with a rapid rotation, Jerrilek has no moons but boasts an impressive set of rings. The planet's land makes up only 15% of the surface area, is concentrated around Jerrilek's equator, and consists of two main continents (covered with mountainous forests) and many smaller island chains. The planet is used as a vacation and retirement spot by many of the galaxy's wealthy and powerful. One of Jerrilek's largest cities is Graleca, which is located on a small island and is an important part of the local aquaculture industry. Jerrilek's population consists of twelve million humans and five million Ithorians, and many inhabitants travel across the waters in vehicles called seaskimmers. Though Jerrilek has no native intelligent life, an aquatic species seems to have existed on the planet over one million years ago-- several of their ancient ruins can be still seen beneath the water's surface. Retired Imperial Admiral Chel Dorat lives on Jerrilek, in an estate located on the coast of Graleca. [SWAJ]
