Chandrilla

I wanna know anything and everything there is to know about this planet. That is all. :)

Chandrila - the homeworld of Mon Mothma and Dev Sibwarra, Chandrila is a forested world broken by grassy plains and urban centers. A naturally beautiful world, Chandrila has two continents surrounded by vast oceans. Located in the Bormea Sector of the Core Systems, it was one of the few worlds that openly opposed Palpatine's New Order. When Mon Mothma defected from the New Order and formed the Alliance, there was no immediate retaliation on Chandrila, although tariffs and taxes grew over the years until the inhabitants began anticipating it. The birthrate among the native human population was lower than that of te rest of the galaxy, and so children were considered very special to them. According to Rebellion, Chandrila is located in Sesswenna Sector.

Chandrila

Chandrila is located in the Bormea sector of the Core Worlds, along the Perlemian Trade Route. The agricultural planet's two main continents are covered with rolling, grassy plains. The inhabitants of Chandrila have a remarkably low birth rate, keeping the world's population of 1.2 billion in check, and tend to live in scattered, small communities instead of large metropolises. All citizens have a direct voice in government, and are known for vociferously arguing politics among each other. The planet is ruled by the democratic Chandrilan House, which is overseen by Imperial Governor Gerald Weizel. Weizel, a rather aloof leader appointed as a replacement for Grandon Holleck, rules from the Imperial base on the outskirts of Hanna, Chandrila's capital. Sights on the planet include the attractive Gladean State Parks, a wild game reserve near Hanna, Brionelle Memorial Military Academy, and a dacha owned by Alliance founder Mon Mothma on the shores of Lake Sah'Ot. The Chandrilans also keep elaborate gardens and many other symbols of natural beauty.

Chandrila is famous as the homeworld of Mon Mothma, whose father was an arbiter-general of the Old Republic and mother a governor of Chandrila. Canna Omonda was named Chandrila's representative to the Imperial Senate after Mon Mothma's resignation from that office. When Senator Omonda criticized the Emperor for disbanding the Senate, Palpatine charged Omonda with treason and sent three Star Destroyers to Chandrila to seize her; her public execution was scheduled during Coruscant's Fete Week. Later, the Empire placed stiff agricultural tariffs on the Bormea sector which were clearly designed to hurt Chandrila, one of the largest agricultural exporters in the Core Worlds. Six months after the Battle of Endor, the Empire deployed seven Star Destroyers to Chandrila where they enforced a strict blockade of the planet. The reasons for this are unknown, but it is believed that Grand Vizier Sate Pestage may have implemented a plan to hold Chandrila hostage in case New Republic forces were able to threaten Coruscant. During the Emperor's reappearance six years after the Battle of Endor, Alliance historian Arhul Hextrophon traveled to Chandrila to recuperate from injuries received on Caprioril. Dev Sibwarra (the Ssi-ruuk's human liaison) was originally from Chandrila, though his family fled to G'rho during the Jedi purge. The Imperial stormtrooper Triv Pothman also lived on the planet, until his reassignment to Pzob to await the Eye of Palpatine. [TAB, SWS, COTJ, DESB, SWAJ]

High points to see: Hanna City, the capital, which is on the shore of the Silver Sea.

Also, its largely rural, in comparison to Coruscant. Wildlife tends to just walk all over the place, like the little "squabs" I think they are called, or squalls...rabbit like things.

[Zeke]

Ooh...cool. Thanks you guys.

[Loki Ahmrah]

I think they're squalls, LD. And they're cute! :D

Not to mention docile, great for target practice! :shootin

[James Nairalix]

Note: This is also the homeplanet of one Pierce Tondry. Disturbers of the peace will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. :)

That is all.

[Zeke]

I don't mean to make trouble. I'm lookin to move there later on. :)

[Evil Hobgoblin]

It was more of a general broadcast than a message to anyone specifically, Zeke. :)

[Zeke]

Just so you know.

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

The inhabitants of Chandrila have a remarkably low birth rate

*notices this came up twice*

any reason stated for that?

[Dae Jinn]

The people who live there are damn ugly? Maybe? o_O

[Evil Hobgoblin]

It's meant to imply that Chandrilans are incredibly civilized. There are three phases of birth rate vs. death rate in an advancing civilization. The first is high birth rate, high death rate. The second is high birth rate, low death rate. The third is low birth rate, low death rate. Although many factors are involved in causing these phases, the main one is advancement of medical knowledge and technology.

oh, cool...
