Triple Worlds System



In Wild Space is a solar system with three inhabited planets, Tekumel, Holy Terra, and Rokugan, alternately known as Venus, Earth (or Urth), and Mars. Most of the sentient organic beings on the Triple Worlds are human, though there are Herglic, Duros, Hutts, Klatoonians, Vodran, and Nikto. Native races include Ahoggya, Hlaka, Pachi Lei, Pe Choi, Shen, Hluss, abd Black and Grey Ssu on Tekumel and the races of Red Men, Green Men, White Apes, Grey Men, and Synthe-men on Rokugan. Robotic droids and Force users are rare but not unknown.

Origins
Sometime before 10,000 BBY, a diverse group of individuals disillusioned with the Galactic Republic ventured off from the capital planet of Coruscant and ventured into what was then part of the Unknown Regions. The Humans settled on all three of the main planets in the newly discovered solar system. The Herglics and Duros settled mainly on Holy Terra, while the Hutt clans and thier Klatoonian, Nikto, and Vodran servants settled mainly on Tekumel and Holy Terra.

Tekumel (early history)
On the planet originally called Venus, the Hutt clans and their Klatoonian, Nikto, and Vodran subordinates settled in the northern hemispere of that planet, which had a largely warm, even hot climate with dry deserts and tropical rain forests closer to the poles.

Meanwhile, in the southern hemisphere, by 9500 BBY, the humans had organized the new Empire of the Pedal Throne, also known as Tsolyani, with it's territory largely composed of rain forests and viable farmland near the south pole.

Conflicts with the native races of Hluss and Black and Grey Ssu plagued Tsolyani and the Hutts, while the Ahoggya, Hlaka, Pachi Lei, and Pe Choi became workers, soldiers, servants, and merchants who worked for both the Hutt clans and the Pedal Throne.

Holy Terra (early history)
On the planet originally known as Earth or Urth, the humans organized the Five Royal Houses of Hawkwood, Decados, Lihalan, Hazat, and al-Malik, while the Hutt clans, Herglics, Duros, and some humans organized into the Merchant League whose industrial and commercial guilds soon dominated the non-agricultural sectors of the planet. The Klatoonians, Nikto, Vodrans, and some humans were reduced to agricultural and military serfs for the Five Royal Houses.

Rokugan (early history)
This planet was originally called Mars by it's native races of Red Men, Green Men, White Apes, and Grey Men. They had developed some advanced technology (spearheaded by the Grey Men), including electornic computers, gravity control (including repulsorlift vehicles), primitive blasters powered by radium chips, telecommunications, nuclear fusion, and even interplanetary space flight (but not the ability to travel faster-than-light in hyperspace). By 20,000 BBY, they had even created the Synthi-men as a race of artificlally-created organic clones. By this time, too, Mars had united under a world government dominated by the Grey Men, and sent interplanetary ships to visit Venus (later Tekumel) and Earth (later Holy Terra). By 19,500 BBY, the so-called Martian Empire dominated Mars and large portions of Venus and Earth. By 16,250 BBY, however, rebellions by members of the Venusian races forced the Martians to leave Venus.

By 15,000 BBY, Mars as a planet was increasingly becoming a colder and dryer planet, and so the then-existing world government over a period of 600 years created a system of artificial canals to transport water from the polar caps to other regions of the planet. This also forced the Martians to abandon their off-world coloinies on Earth.

The creation of the canals was only partially successful, and by 14,750 BBY, rebellions by resentful Red and Green Men and Whote Apes caused the collapse of the planetary government and the degeneration in dozens of city-states governed by Red Men. The White Apes and Green Martians were reduced to primitive nomadic tribes, and the Grey Men and Synthi-men largely served the Red Man-dominated governments in the city-states, with the Grey Men as scientists and technicians and the Synthi-men serving as laborers and soldiers.
