Caprania

"After the Vong conqured Coruscant, we came here. We came to like Caprania so much we decided to stay after the war was over."

- An unknown refugee

Caprania is the only inhabitable planet in the Capranian System. It is mostly a tropical planet, and is orbited by roughly four moons.

Landforms
Caprania is composed of a molten metallic core with a thick, immobile crust. It has 3 major continents and hundreds of small islands. These landmasses are mostly tropical jungles with high canopies and massive mountain ranges formed during the planet’s youth.

Caprania also has seven oceans, five of which are interconnected. The latter two are landlocked polar seas on planet’s southernmost continent, only recently having been discovered due to the harsh conditions.

Species
Caprania’s tropical jungles hold an untold thousands of species, of which only a few are seen by the planet’s settlers. Among these are a type of bird resembling the whisper birds of Vavin 4, and a small furry humanoid creature nicknamed “fruit stealers” by the colonists due to their tendency to steal fruit.

People who venture into the jungles have also reported seeing Krayt Dragon-like creatures nicknamed “Jungle Phantoms” due to their haunting wail.

New Republic Era
Caprania would remain undiscovered until 10 ABY, When a small team of jedi stumbled across it after a chance hyperdrive malfunction. Shortly afterward the New Republic started sending colonists to the world, and by 23 ABY, the planet had a consideraby large population.

Yuuzhan Vong war
During the Yuuzhan Vong war, the New republic started sending refugees from Vong-concoured planets to Caprania. The Planet would remain protected by an energy shield that only New Republic ships could brave. The invaders made at least five attempts to attack the planet, and all five times the entire force would get vaporized by the shield. The leaders of the Vong never found out why the fleets were destroyed.

Galactic Alliance era
After the Yuuzhan Vong war, a considerable amount of the refugees decided to remain on Caprania. Afterward, more and more people came to the planet. By 24 ABY, the planet had become one of the central hubs of the Inner rim. It also became the home of two Alliance bases, one in one of the mountain ranges and another in the Northern artic region.

Behind the Scenes
