Jadibor

Jadibor (from "borough of jade") was a planet in the Chommell sector of the Mid Rim whose surface was almost completely comprised of jade, quartz, and similar minerals.

Description
As the planet's surface was completely covered in hard minerals, there existed no surface water on the planet, though the atmosphere was naturally suitable for Human habitation. The terrain, obviously, was inhospitable naturally, and required Humans to rely on greenhouses to produce livestock and food crops. Massive reservoirs retained drinkable water, and the majority of settlements were built from the surrounding material or built in the side of jade mountains. Apart from livestock, crops, and water, various other resources such as spices, medicine, metals, vehicles, droids, and common appliances were frequently imported to Jadibor.

History
Jadibor was settled by Humans in 900 BBY as a mining colony, where the jade and quartz were exported to other worlds for jewelry and architecture. Over the centuries, this mining colony expanded as more miners traveled to Jadibor; by 350 BBY, Jadibor had a population of 80,000 Humans from various worlds. Jadibor was largely peaceful save for small territorial disputes between settlements, and their only interaction with other Human worlds was for trade and diplomacy. By 200 BBY, however, Jadibor's mines frequently became the target of large-scale pirate attacks, forcing the Jadiborians to turn to the Kingdom of Naboo (who governed most of the Chommell sector) for defense. Naboo Security Force outposts were set up on Jadibor much to the praise of the Jadiborians, however once the Naboo government began mining without the locals' permission, a war broke out between Naboo and Jadibor. After nearly a decade of the Naboo and Jadiborians conquering and destroying eachother's mines, the Galactic Senate ended the conflict diplomatically; Jadibor remained a territory of Naboo. Following this, no more large-scale conflicts would be fought on Jadibor. During the Imperial era, the Galactic Empire set up invasive mines on Jadibor, however the locals did not resist in fear of the occupant's superior military technology.

Culture
Initially, there existed no Jadiborian identity as the locals originated from dozens of separate planets and spoke various languages; the initial colonists on the planet spoke a colonial dialect of Late Middle Corellian. Over time, Basic became the dominant language on Jadibor, however Jadiborian (developed from Late Middle Corellian with influences from other colonists' languages) was also equally common.

Most Jadiborians worked as miners, greenhouse farmers, architects, builders, scientists, and traders; while the entertainment industry on Jadibor was lacking, the Jadiborians did have access to the galactic Internet through imported computers and datapads, and they developed a very similar culture to that of the Core Worlds, including cultural items such as clothing, vernacular, music taste, etc.
