Guudria

Guudria was a planet on the Despot's Arm in quadrant R-19 of, far from mainstream galactic civilization and accessible only by a circuitous, day-long series of hyperspace jumps from the far extreme of the. It was the homeworld of the s.

Geography
Much of Guudria was dominated by grassy plains and forests. Some areas of the plains featured large stretches of hills, either gently rolling terrain or clusters of steeper hills close together. On the main Guudrian continent, the primary mountain range was in the far north.

Guudria's surface was majority water, and rivers wended their way through the major landmasses. Vast underground seas fed springs on the surface and hosted wildlife unique to that isolated environment.

Guudria was isolated in terms of galactic geography, and usually only those with the patience and skill to navigate a series of hyperspace jumps, or those who had been given the coordinates by someone else, could find their way to the planet.

Society and Culture
The Guudrians were a communal, curious people, able to integrate new ideas and technology into their society more quickly than most sentient species. They had a rural, primarily agrarian civilization during the, and even by the rise of the had not become participants in galactic society to any meaningful degree. However, they conducted some level of trade with the broader galaxy, particularly relishing the import of technology.

History
Around the end of the (c. 5,000 BBY), the Guudrians were in the equivalent of a local Stone Age. Shortly after the war concluded, s Chelshgodrû and Ragathna Brokkodd arrived on Guudria, having fled after 's defeat in the. The Brokkodds surveyed the Guudrians, but found them insufficiently evolved to make useful servants. They were entombed on Guudria by their servants.

Guudrian society continued to progress over the following millennia, though the Guudrians avoided the area surrounding the Brokkodds' tomb, which had been tainted by the dark side of the Force. By 1,395 BBY there were hundreds of Guudrian villages over the various continents. In that year the rogue Jedi Maia Kyss arrived and, with Bras Kozondo and Jirdo Yushari, inaugurated a "Jedi" monarchy that lasted nine years and united thirty-seven Guudrian villages under a single ruler. The monarchy fell when Tirien Kal-Di, his  Narasi Rican, and former  Zaella Sabir came to Guudria and sparked a chain of events resulting in Maia and Bras's deaths and the permanent entrapment of Chelshgodrû Brokkodd's spirit.

In the subsequent centuries, Guudria returned to local rule, though isolated traditions with respect for the Jedi and the Force endured. By the time of the, Guudria still had incidental contact with the broader galaxy at best.
