| I'd like to request (since theres nothing that says the system is populated):
- For Ordan be the newly appointed Governor of the Jafan System.
- To have Jafan be a colony established by the Axum System a year ago, with a population of around 100,000 living a pleasant life off the back of the penal colonies.
- An orbital industrial complex providing the export economy for the world producing components for Koensayr Corporation), a space colony for a few thousand holding the convict workforce who works the industrial complex with 6x laser defense satelllites.
- A planetary defense force consisting of 48 Toscan 8-Q Starfighters (hyperdrives not present), 4 IPV-1 System Patrol Craft and Ordan's personal flagship an upgunned (all the single turbolasers replaced with double ones at the cost of passenger space - as is stated to be common in the article) CR-90 Corvette. I only anticipate the Corvette going on any real jaunts, the rest don't have hyperdrives after all.
Jafan System
Jafan I - Molten rock
Jafan II (Colloquially "Jafan")- Terrestrial (the location of the Jafan Colony) world with a steady progression of seasons etc.
Jafan III - Cold large gas giant (no useful materials)
Jafan IV - Equally cold but slightly smaller gas giant (no useful materials)
Jafan Colony
Jafan Colony is essentially a comfortable suburban and rural colony servicing tourism from the Azure Sector and the rest of the Core.
Government and Legislature
The Governor holds sovereignty on behalf of the Axum System Parliament.
Judiciary
The Governor is the final court of appeal and appoints subordinate justices.
Population
100,000 (Predominantly Azure Sector) permanent residents, these inhabit the most comfortable continent just north of the equator, most live in a leafy surburban lifestyle with around half working in the service sector for the additional 50,000 who visit seasonally and the others in other occupations.
18,000 Convicts from the Azure Sector (and other areas where authorities have paid Jafan for custodial duty)
- 8,000 In orbital work facilities or detention.
- 10,000 grow the food and mine the ores to support the main colony. These are in the colder continents near either pole which have harsh winters (isolated by thousands of miles of sea).
Notes
The Governorship of this colony is an effective sinecure to Ordan secured by his influential Anaxsi family.
The presence of the colony is likely to be frowned upon by the alien factions of the Galaxy.

| It's been mentioned to me that management would prefer player-created sections be kept to a minimum. For the time being, I'm putting this on hold until we can confer further.

| It's hardly "player-created" it just fills in a blank with an Axum colony and penal colony. All the culture and background is just that of the Axum System transplanted to the new location... It's not like I'm inventing my own culture or race, or any special governmental or legal systems - just a new colony with an absolute governor.

| The Jafan System has as much information about it as Kreeling does; which is to say, none at all. As such, a 'player-created' area would be filled by you (acting as part of Anaxes, etc). This is why I am going to wait for other members of management to chip in before voting.

| Surely a terrestrial rock with a standard coreward culture and legal tradition is essentially just copy-paste from elsewhere in the canon? It can't truly be regarded as "player created" (as Jafan being a system must have planets - hence system not just star), its just taking the lowest common denominator planet type (earthlike) and putting it in the system.
Essentially what I am saying is that all the components of this setup are directly drawn from the Star Wars canon and are just being patched together here. It's more "filling in the blank" with a logical paint. I just want that to be taken onboard; if I were inventing a new culture or traditions etc (like a new governmental system, or a deviation from the canon) then I'd have more support for the notion its a "player created section" rather than just a duplicate of the many colonies out there, to fill an empty gap (like when a ship doesn't have its MGLT listed you approximate based on relevant comparisons)

| I understand what you're saying, but my take on this stands. It's going to have to wait until management can confer about this.

| Either I misunderstood or I was misunderstood, or perhaps both, but in the conversation we had about this, Mike, I thought we agreed that details about planets could be filled in (by request) by players who are interested in doing so. This would be Stark in the case of Kreeling or Ordan in this case. So I have no objection to this request on those particular grounds, but I am wary of involving Anaxes in the RP, even peripherally. The advantage of RPing a colony of Anaxes is that everyone understands the implicit threat of naval force from Anaxes if anyone messes with it. The problem with this, however, is that Anaxes is not a player in the RP and its forces won't make any appearance here, hence we're in a quandary; suppose this colony is attacked in some dastardly manner—how would the lack of any response whatsoever from Anaxes be accounted for in the RP?
It'd be preferable for this to be either A.) a colony of a world that's actually in the RP (not much potential in that, I realize), B.) a colony of refugees, or C.) a "break-away" colony from some other world, perhaps premised along ethnic or irredentist lines without the sanction of that world so that it wouldn't be obligated to come to the defense of this colony.
I'm not saying I'm against it being a colony of Anaxes under any and all circumstances. I'd just like to see some alternatives credibly considered that address the problem of having a colony of a far-off world that's not allowed to defend this colony in the event of an attack. Or, at least, an explanation of why, IC, it doesn't do so.

| Did I mention Anaxes? It's a colony from the Axum System, but certainly why would a world require military protection from the Core? It's populated by the citizens of the Republic and is in obedience with their tax laws, wouldn't most protection from "existential threats" be dealt with by the Judicial forces? Local forces would be there to keep off pirates etc.

| If that'll be the policy of Anaxes with respect to this colony, that's fine then. It hasn't been in the past, however. Here in the Old Republic era we can also credibly postulate that Anaxes isn't allowed to defend its colony for some obscure legal reason, such is the dysfunction of the system. In either case, a few moments please to look over the particulars of the request.

| If the Anaxes/Axum/Azure colonial diaspora was the British Empire circa 1890, this might be, say, South Georgia or Pitcairn. It's a minor interest but has no real military or strategic value as it's a tiny in population and not at a key location. Attacking it in any sustained and lengthy way (say, invasion) might well attract a modest response in terms of ships, support and manpower, in some weeks or months, if the polity was unable to ignore the assault on its colony and there was no senatorial resolution.
If a small time attack was launched. Say anything that didn't directly threaten the long term viability or sovereignty of the colony (raids, blockades, short term invasions as examples i.e. things within the scope of the RP) then there would certainly not be a response. This is a peaceable republic and faith is generally put in the ability of local and judicial forces. Any support would be purely pecuniary or civilian and military aid would not be rendered within the scope of the RP unless the above happened; however, such an event would already logically have caused Judicial forces intervention and would so not require Axum aid.
