Entralla

Entralla, located in the system of the same name, lies within the Velcar Free Commerce Zone in the Pentastar Alignment. The planet is a world of shining spaceports whose large, single moon can often be seen in its bright blue sky. Entralla has a proud and ancient history-- many prominent religious sects had their origin on Entralla, and the planet is home to several important monasteries. Within Entralla's Nexus City starport is the famous historic district and a seedy industrial zone known as the Overhang, where very little sunlight can penetrate the dense buildings. Entrallans have a deep respect for their long history of rich legends, and their pale moon features prominently in their mythology. During the traditional Lunar Night festival (on the night when Entralla's moon passes closest to the planet) the famous Parade of Ghosts is staged in Nexus City's historic district. Many tourists come to see the spectacle, which commemorates the deeds of mythical Entrallan warriors. Entralla is also home to the Guild of Interstellar Merchants, a large organization of commercial spacers who operate within the Pentastar Alignment. The Guild sets schedules and fees between its members and Guild-sponsored worlds. After the Emperor's death at Endor, the inhabitants of Entralla staged a civil uprising, intending to leave the Empire and join the Alliance. The newly-formed Pentastar Alignment, however, immediately placed the Entrallan Senate under house arrest and installed a puppet regime. New Republic Colonel Andrephan Stormcaller tried to persuade the Republic navy liberate Entralla, his home planet. When the Republic declined to help, Stormcaller resigned his military position and formed the Red Moons, an elite mercenary group that often fights the Pentastar Alignment. The pirate Roark Slader was once a commander in the Entrallan militia. [SWAJ]
