Graia

"No more beautiful world was ever a capital planet."

- Sarix Dakaua, first Consul of the Procyon Union

 was the capital world of the Procyon Union, located in the Procyon Cluster on the galactic-western edge of the known Expansion Region and Mid Rim.

It was settled jointly between 3700 and 3653 BBY by humans from the Galactic Republic and by the Cluster's only native sentient species, the dullahans of the planet Elix. In 3549, the Treaty of Procyon between the human settlers, cut off from the severely weakened Republic, and the dullahans combined to form the Procyon Union and established its capital on their most jointly-colonized world, Graia.

Graia was remarkable for its natural beauty and well-crafted cityscapes, which attained a balance rivaled by few other worlds besides Naboo and Alderaan. The natural wonders of the planet ranged from dense tropical, subtropical, and boreal rainforests to soaring mountain ranges and vast arid and semiarid plains, granting it an unusual level of biodiversity by galactic norms. The planet's capital city was Cuindi, on the northeastern coast of the smaller northern continent, and the capital of the Union was located in Cyrtagos, on the north-central coast of the largest southern continent.

The planet is ruled by a democratically elected Administrator and their appointed Administrative Council; the legislative General Court, consisting of a Senate, the upper house, and a Representative Assembly, the lower; and the Tribunal of Justice, the planet's supreme appeals and constitutional court.

Graia's moon, Delos, is also populated, although it is not sufficiently so to have independent representation in the Procyon Council. Instead, Delos elects its councillors jointly with Graia and relies on its Representatives to stand up for lunar differences in the Union government. Delos does, however, have its own local government, although the head of state, the Intendant of Delos, is appointed by the government of Graia. Uruk, the other inhabited planet in the Capital System, does have independent representation in the Procyon Council, and is the locus of the system's industrial operations, including construction and maintenance of the Procyon Union Home Fleet, headquartered at the Delian Orbital Yards.
