Ord Vejovis

"Ord Vejovis is one of those in-between planets you could say is important enough to be chosen as a permanent base by the Republic and having a continuous Judicial presence, but not important enough to be a big political player even with its Colonies region peers."

- Horatio Kersion, on the importance of Ord Vejovis.

Ord Vejovis was a big terrestrial world in the Colonies region of. As its system is located at the intersection of three moderately important secondary the planet, then named just Vejovis, was colonized very early during a wave of expansionism of the early Galactic Republic by core-originating Humans. The strategic importance led the Republic to eventually expand Vejovis into an official, adding the permament prefix Ord to its name.

Description
Having its orbit in ideal distance to its sun the planet has comfortable moderate seasons all year around and has enough fertile land distributed across four continents and several island groups to sustain its population of more than 6.2 billion inhabitants and have something left to export.

Inside the big cities varying industrial goods are produced while in orbit there are two Republic-owned repair yards which are big enough to attend to cruiser- and destroyer-size ships. The renowned starship manufacturer operates one cruiser-scale and one capital-scale shipyard in orbit as well together with a massive orbital storehouse which can hold several mothballed reserve ships.

Due to the intersection of three hyperlanes, secondary as they might be, the Vejovis system profits at least from a moderate amount of trade traffic, mainly through small family businesses and independent traders from around the sector.

Republic Era before the Clone Wars
The use the planet as one of several hundred permanent bases in the Colonies region during the era of the great peace to enact security patrols and fight galactic crime by sending patrol groups out through all three secondary hyperlanes into different systems and sectors.

The repair yards are used to maintain and repair Judicial vessels while the Rendili-owned shipyards sparsely produce new throughout the decades.

To attract even more trade and thus profit, a great additional orbital trade port is constructed near Ord Vejovis' moon Idey from 81 BBY to 79 BBY. In 60 BBY Ord Vejovis gained a bit of prominence in the news as it was the planet where the starting shots of the great modernization program for old  were fired in accordance with a recent rare major decision of the. The vessel Galandia which was held in the planets storehouse being reactivated and brought to the capital shipyard in order to be upgraded to the new Invincible-class RJF-version.

In the following years the Rendili shipyards above Ord Vejovis would continue to modernize more Invincible-ships for the Judicial Forces one at a time, working in tandem with hundreds of other shipyards.

Clone Wars
During the, Ord Vejovis remained staunchly loyal to the Republic and became an important base for activities in its own and neighboring sectors of the Colonies region.

The repair yards of the planet proved to be a valuable asset for the as they tended to hundreds of damaged Republic warships throughout the war years.

During the first half of the war the Rendili-owned shipyards continued to produce Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruisers at a higher rate in order to bolster the numbers of the Republic fleet and provide more reserve units for planetary defenses.

Under the watch of representatives belonging to a second capital shipyard was built in the orbit of Ord Vejovis to allow faster parallel production of ships, which culminates in the shipyards producing new  during the second half of the Clone Wars.
