SEUTHOLU
Type: Oceanic terrestrial
SYSTEM DATAFILE
WORLD SUMMARY
SYSTEM SUMMARY
The single satellite of Seutholu, named Chara in honor of a long-dead queen, is an ovoid, grey rock with no atmosphere. What little value its minerals might have had in the earliest years of the Old Republic is long since gone; archaeological evidence indicates some mining did occur on Chara millenia ago.
HISTORY
Seutholu was initially colonized by a small group of fish-farmers some 19,000 years prior to the Galactic Civil War. They and their descendents fished the ample oceans of Seutholu until, in Republic Year 9241, a group of investors acting on behalf of Durr Chenquey (a rich politician from Coruscant) "persuaded" the original settlers to sell the largest island, Lyaphu. Chenquey had a massive palace built on Lyaphu, portions of which still stand today in Seutholu City Starport. Over the next few decades, Seutholu was visited by more and more of the galaxy's most wealthy, influential, and trendy individuals. The original fish-farmers were slowly driven off the planet by an ever-increasing flood of corporate and government leaders eager to build a private vacation paradise in the Core. Centuries passed. It wasn't long before every one of the under 100 islands in Seutholu's tropical zone was owned by some family or company. In time a sense of community (however snobbish) began to form among the planet's lords, and their common interest in the good life eventually led to the construction of Seutholu City and the formation of the Seutholu Security Force. When Palpatine rose to power, many of his staunchest supporters already had residences on Seutholu -- but others, it seemed, were either pro-Republic or non-Human. In a quiet but bloody incident, Palpatine's supporters violently drove out their undesirable neighbors. Some fled to remote worlds, others challenged their treatment (and wound up incarcerated by the Imperial Courts), and some were killed before they could even take off. This incident, known locally as the Lyaphu Massacre, left a sour taste in the mouths of those remaining families who disliked violence. A special measure was later passed to forbid the removal of personal armaments from private property anywhere on Seutholu. (The Battle of Endor saw a split in the loyalties of Seutholu's ruling families. Mysterious bombings, disappearances, and other unfortunate incidents plagued the world until, after the defeat of Palpatine's second clone, the remaining Imperially-faithful residents fled. Seutholu officially joined the New Republic one month later.)
SEUTHOLU CITY
The rest of Seutholu City is a random cobbling of decadent shopping complexes, selling everything from luxury speeders and starships to elegant eveningwear to expensive droids to overnight-shipped delicacies to (in the time of the Empire) slaves.

SEUTHOLU PERSONALITIES
Rex Shaterrinn XXXVI
Capsule: The most recent in an ancient family line, Rex Shaterrinn will not respond to anyone unless they address him completely, including "the thirty-sixth" at the end. He is arrogant and self-absorbed, but also quite handsome, and likes to think of himself as a roguish adventurer. In reality, he wouldn't know adventure if it bit his servant droid in the posterior plating, and any true danger would frighten him silly.
