Legend

this planet, the primary world in the Merisee System of the Elrood Sector, was known as the "breadbasket of the Elrood Sector" because its agricultural production provided foodstuffs to most of the sector. It was the homeworld of two races, the Meri and the Teltior, who had been separated from each other for many millennia until volcanic activity caused seismic shifts in the planet's surface. In a period known as "The Joining," a finger of mountains was formed between the two continents of the planet. This allowed the two races to finally encounter each other, leading to a series of civil wars. The fought for a thousand years before the New Republic located the planet, and the warring parties realized that their feud was miniscule compared to the rest of the galaxy. It enjoyed a free government even at the height of the New Order, and its enlightened leaders strived to keep it that way. The planet's beautiful plains and sweeping vistas hide a dark side to the planet: the Loag. The Loag are a band of mercenaries that survived being wiped out by the old Jedi Knights. The survivors fled to Merisee and hid, silently biding their time to gain revenge. Merisee was orbited by two moons, Tola and Meriso. The average day on Merisee lasts 24 standard hours, and its year lasts 315 local days.
