Kopassus

Kopassus was a temperate fungal world in the Expansion Region that was governed by a totalitarian kingdom.

Description
Kopassus's surface was comprised almost entirely of smooth rock that seemed almost naturally paved. These rock flats were interrupted by thin rivers of toxic water, which were fed into artificial filters that rendered the water safe to drink. These thin rivers originated from multiple under-ground oceans that were inhabited by native microbes, which were extremely deadly to larger beings. There was only a single mountain on Kopassus, which appeared as more of a rigid dome with a near-hollow interior. The sky of Kopassus's atmosphere post-terraformation was uniformly gray as the planet's entire lower atmosphere was lined with one massive artificial cloud that was uninterrupted across the entire planet. Following the arrival of Alderaanian colonists, Kopassus's surface became dotted with dozens of various fungal species, though the only animals to arrive alongside the Humans were insectoids and avians for livestock.

Early history
Kopassus was discovered and terraformed in around 4600 BBY by the Alderaanians, who later returned to colonize the world as a territory of the Kingdom of Alderaan (which was a constituent of the Galactic Republic). The planet was named after Kopas, who was an Alderaanian general that oversaw royal forces on the new world. In around 3000 BBY, the Kopassites became culturally divided between those that followed modern Alderaanian trends and those that remained loyal to their archaic traditions, resulting in a planet-wide civil war. After the civil war, which had raged on between city-states for at least two centuries, the Kopassites established their own kingdom independent of Alderaan. The Kopassite kingdom remained sovereign for over two millennia until the world was invaded by the Sith Empire during the New Sith Wars. The Sith occupied Kopassus after a decade of intense warfare, though within only years of their occupation, Republic forces arrived to liberate the world. Another war was fought on Kopassus between the forces of the Sith and the Republic, who was supported by Kopassite resistance groups. After the Sith retreated from Kopassus, the Kopassites organized a democratic republic that became a member of the Galactic Senate, though only had partial representation. The following millennia saw a period of peace and isolation among the Kopassites with only a few minor insurrections. In around 100 BBY, the Kopassites reemerged and became heavily involved in interstellar trade.

In 15 BBY, Kopassite warships attacked and destroyed an Imperial supply fleet passing through their home system, prompting an Imperial invasion of the world. Though the Imperial Star Destroyer managed to swiftly annihilate their opponent's primitive space forces, Kopassus's royal army stood valiantly with their vibroweapons and projectile cannons on the planet's surface for numerous years. The battle on Kopassus continued into the Galactic Civil War, at which point a force of Rebel mercenaries were deployed on the planet to assist the Kopassites. The Imperials were eventually driven off-world and Kopassus became part of the Rebel Alliance. Other than a few incursions with passing Imperials, the Kopassites entered another period of peace as a member of the New Republic.
