The planet Serenno is a regal and idyllic world located in the D'astan sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It has long been one of the most important trade nodes along the Hydian Way and was often considered one of the gateways to the wider Outer Rim as a result. It is a pleasant world of rolling plains, verdant hillsides, lush forests and vibrant rainforests, with its countryside often being dotted by the castles and residences of the local nobility. Serenno's largest cities are Carannia, Fiyarro, and Saffia, with the first of those three also functioning as the planetary capital. These metropolises are known for their cosmopolitan air and vibrant nature, and are often colloquially referred to as the "Jewels of Serenno" by its native population. | |||
Serenno is primarily inhabited by Humans, but the planet also boasts thriving communities of alien species such as the Twi'leks and the Chiss. Yet, the Serennians - as the inhabitants of this world call themselves - have always had a prideful and rebellious streak, especially when it came to their membership of the Galactic Republic. As a result, Serenno was a primary stronghold of the Separatist Alliance during the Clone Wars, and provided significant funding and leadership to the Separatist cause throughout the course of the war. After the Republic's reformation into the Galactic Empire and the end of the Clone Wars, Serenno went through a brief period of economic stagnation and decline, until the Counts of Serenno managed to reinvent the world and revive its planetary economy. Today, the world is an important and key world of the Gordian Reach Authority, with its wealth, splendour, and majesty protected by strict trade regulations and isolationist policies. | |||

Description
Serenno is a terrestrial planet with a varied terrain and climate. Two extensive polar caps encapsulate the globe on each of its two poles, with the northern pole feeding into the world's sole and primary body of water called the Belsallian Sea. The southern pole springs many creeks and rivers instead, which snake through the dense and vibrant forestlands that border the polar region. This part of the planet is also the most volcanically active across the globe, providing a stream of mineral wealth. The equatorial region sprouted grand and beautiful rainforests rich in life millions of years ago, and which have been a favourite hunting spot of the local population for millennia. The idyllic hillsides, plains, and savannahs that make up most of the planetary surface are primarily used for agriculture and recreation, and often are the private domain of one of Serenno's many noble houses.
The world of Serenno is home to a number of unique endemic species of flora and fauna, as well as plants and creatures that can be found across the planets of the galaxy. Perhaps one of the most fearsome and terrifying non-sentient lifeforms on Serenno are the Tirra'Takas, a rare, ancient species of reptilian dragons that became the source of many Serennian legends and myths. According to those stories, the ancient Sith had managed to subjugate the Tirra'Takas through the sorcerous powers of the Dark Side of the Force and rode them into battle. While Tirra'Taka sightings are extremely rare on Serenno these days, the more superstitious natives claim to still hear the rumbling of their breath and roars deep beneath the surface of the planet. Other non-sentient creatures native to Serenno include the spikebats that primarily inhabit the woodlands in the northernmost regions of the world, and the dangerous lupine spine-wolves that prowl the forests of the southern hemisphere.
While much of the countryside is dominated by open terrain, it is simultaneously dotted by the private residences of members of the planetary aristocracy and wealthy elite.
