Eloque

Eloque was a planet in the Zhyrus System that was the homeworld of the Eloquian. It was located in the Outer Rim, not far from Kamino.

Terrain
The planet Eloques is an average-sized planet, and 83 percent is covered in water. The rest of the planet is mostly mountainous, with a few grassland areas, the largest being the Del'ar Grasslands, named after the famous member of the Eloquian species that travelled to the Core. Streams and rivers also cover the land areas of the planet.

Pre-Republic Era
Two billion years before the Eloquians roamed the planet, Eloque was a volcanic mess. In every hundred square miles, volcanoes could be found. One billion years later, Eloque no longer had as many volcanoes. Small plants had begun growing on the planet, and insects began evolving. In the year 1 million BBY, Larger animals began evolving on the planet, and only 400,000 years later, Eloquians began to evolve, as well.

Old Republic Era
After the Eloquians developed hyperdrives, they were venturing further and further towards the core, and only years later, they joined the Galactic Republic. The planet's atmosphere was getting polluted, but not enough to destroy the planet. The planet housed a Republic Training Academy, and also hundreds of turbolaser installations, and became a stronghold for the Republic.

Imperial Era
When Emperor Palaptine gave his Proclomation of a New Order, the Eloquians were immediately angered. After the Rebel Alliance destroyed the First Death Star, Eloque became a Rebel planet, housing Rebel troops, and turning its old Republic Training Academy into a Rebel Training Academy. They also turned all of their planetary turbolaser batteries and ion cannons on any Imperial ships that entered the system.

New Republic Era
When Coruscant was liberated by the New Republic, the Eloquians were some of the first to join. They were prepared to help the New Republic destroy the rest of the Imperial Remnant with their fleets of starships, their largest ships being Eloquian Destroyers, which were produced in Zeth Shipyards.
