Neona
this was one of the strongest planets of the Freeworlds Region of Tapani Sector, during the height of the New Order. It was covered with oceans, and the sea bed was rich in natural ores. It was originally scouted by Hanson Mining Consolidated, several hundred years before the Battle of Endor. The settlers of the planet established huge, floating cities from which they launched mining operations. Excavation of the planet's solid surface has revealed that a sentient civilization once existed on the planet, but was slowly swallowed up by the rising ocean levels during a warm period which melted the polar ice caps. The ocean floor was littered with the ruins of their cities.
