Vedros VI

Vedros VI was the sixth moon of the gas giant Vedros, and one of only three habitable moons of the world's twenty-three. After the end of the Great Liberation in 102 ABY, the Golden Empire allowed colonization of Vedros's moons. Vedros IV became a primary site for mining from Vedros itself, while Vedros VI supplied foodstuffs to Vedros IV and the Empire at large.

Geography
The majority of Vedros VI's landmasses were fertile plains which could successfully host crops from numerous planets in the Empire. Plains and prairies stretched for thousands of kilometers, and enormous plantations dominated most of this space. Rainfall was generous, although some plantations still made use of irrigation to ensure health for their crops.

Vedros VI's oceans were deep and, uncommonly, freshwater. A small group of Laatl colonists farmed seaweed and other edible plants underwater.

Society and culture
Food production was the dominant occupation on Vedros VI, and nearly all residents were involved in the business in some way, be it farming, packaging, quality inspection, or transportation. The enormous plantations of Vedros VI were often staffed by hundreds or even thousands of s; droid mechanics were the second most common occupation on the moon, although they still trailed those in the farm business by a wide margin. The largest plantations retained staffs of mechanics.

History
In 112 ABY, Vedros IV and VI entered into a trade dispute, with Vedros IV attempted to retain all profits from its tibanna mining operation and Vedros VI demanding a cut of the profits. Royal negotiators forged a compromise, in which Vedros IV would pay a portion of its massive revenues to Vedros VI. While the mining installations on Vedros IV reluctantly conceded, Vedros VI refused the offer and demanded a larger cut. Attempts to reconcile the two parties were unsuccessful.

Queen Rin Sakaros and the Sith Star arrived, and Rin ordered Vedros VI to accept the deal. When they still continued to hold back foodstuff supplies from Vedros IV, Rin used her powers to forcibly slow the rotation of Vedros VI so far that the moon seemed to be standing still. The effort drained Rin terribly, required the assistance of Tariun Sakaros and a handful of Centurions, and nearly killed Rin, sending her into a coma for a week. But the terrified denizens of Vedros VI conceded to the Queen's order, begging forgiveness and the rotation of their moon back as the daylight side began to wither in the constant sun and the night side grew increasingly colder.

Rather than risk another period of downtime, when Rin came to, she simply allowed Vedros VI to naturally resume its rotational speed over a period of weeks, telling the occupants that it was punishment for their defiance.
