Pelx-Cradonia

Pelx-Cradonia is the homeworld of the Cradonians, and capital of the Pelx-Cradonian Remnant. Once a galactic nexus that earned great wealth from its strategic position on hyperspace routes under the historic Pelx-Cradonian Mandate. As its importance declined with the discovery of improved trade routes, and the planet rapidly fell into decay with a slow mass migration of its residents across the galaxy. The remainder of the planet's history was wrought with civil disorder and social unrest, enough so to cripple the Pelx-Cradonian Mandate during the opening days of the Pelx-Cradonian Rebellion.

As it turned to industry as a means of compensation for its economic troubles, its oceans became polluted, eliminating the planet's main food source. After a century of the planet's ecosystem dying off, famine spread among the lower classes while the rich hoarded what few supplies remained. The resulting strife led to the collapse of the Pelx-Cradonian Mandate, and the start of lasting prejudices between the Cradonian survivors and the largely alien underclass the Mandate had enslaved.

The planet is under constant threat of invasion by former Mandate vassals and tributaries, relying on the protection of the Teyan Dominion to prevent the inevitable genocidal campaigns that would take place were the planet to be invaded.
