The Dia Pas System
SYSTEM NAME: Dia Pas System
STAR NAMES: Dia (Yellow-white mature star)
AGE: 4 billion years
GOVERNMENT: Rebel Squadrons/New Republic
The Dia Pas System was discovered during the first exploration of the Cadrel Expanse by Old Republic survey teams. Like most of the systems in the Cadrel Expanse it is heavily rich in mineral resources and is an excellent mining prospect. The system orbits around a G2 type star.
During the battles of the Cadrel Expanse Conflict, the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet made its initial appearance in the war here, causing the forces of the Rebel Squadrons much chaos through swift hit and fade tactics. This caused the Rebel Squadrons' bunkering of the system to be very sparse and unorganized, but still successful. The RS continues to patrol the system.

The following sections provide the physical and social characteristics for each of the significant planetary bodies in the Dia Pas System:
Dian
Dian is without a doubt an uninhabitable planet for humanoids. Because of the planet's close proximity to its star, it is always experiencing extremely high temperatures and rapid fluctuations in its magnetic field. The planet contains an excellent mineral vein, but its hellish conditions would making mining difficult for any mining conglomerate.

Ellor
Ellor is a planet of indifferent characteristics. It is a habitable planet with a stable atmosphere, but the terrain consists mostly of tundra. The weather is cold, but bearable for most humanoid life forms. Because the planet consists mostly of tundra, the longest season is winter and Ellor's waterways are frozen the majority of the planet's year. The vegetation includes ground hugging shrubs and other warmth preserving forms including graminoids and rosettes that can survive the surface's permafrost. Unlike the majority planets in the Cadrel Expanse, it has no significant mineral deposits.

Morba
As a gas mining prospect, it is immense. Its 22 moons offer ample mining prospects of their own and places to set up any kind of mining operation. The rings around the planet are a navigational hazard, but could also serve for hidden bases or outposts. The planets strong magnetic field makes close approach in un-shielded craft very dangerous.
PLANET NAME: Morba
FUNCTION: Mining
