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.

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. Many of these castles and mansions boast their private landing pads or landing areas, and often have a high degree of security around them as a result. Nonetheless, these residences are a prime example of the beautiful Serennian architecture, with its hallmark circular shapes, tones of green, and air of regality. Many Serennian cities are similarly dominated by this inherent style of architecture, including the three major cities of Carannia, Fiyarro, and Saffia. This trio of metropolises are often spoken of as the "Jewels of Serenno" and together form the economic and cultural heart of the planet.

Within the D`astan sector of the galaxy lies the noble world of Serenno, a planet of varied climates and environments. Two polar caps stretch across the north and south poles of the globe, while an unbroken landmass of misty riverlands and grassy savannahs makes up most of its surface. Dense woodlands are abundant on the planet and harbour a variety of lifeforms, from small endemic sub-species of eye-snatchers to ferocious nexu stalking their prey. The equatorial range largely consists of beautiful rainforests, which are a preferred hunting spot of the local elites. Before it was heavily urbanized in recent decades, the planet also had a small area of desert land far up in the cold north known as the Aparian Wastes. Serenno's primary bodies of water are located in the northern hemisphere of the globe, with the largest being called the Belsallian Sea. The planet's capital city, Carannia, is located along its shoreline.
Serenno was settled by humans from the Core Worlds many millennia ago, and due to its position along major trade routes like the Hydian Way and the Spurs of Celanon, it grew to become a wealthy and influential world within the Outer Rim. Vibrant metropolises arose on the planet's surface, with Carannia, Fiyarro, and Saffia remaining the biggest to this day. Yet, the native Serennians have always been a proud people. Even though Serenno was a member world of the Galactic Republic for a time, this Outer Rim planet became known for its resistance to authority, in particular the Republic's. As a result, several of the planet's noble families conspired against the Republic during the Great Galactic War and placed their world under the Sith Empire's rule for several decades. This rebellious nature against the Republic would persist among Serenno's citizenry and nobility in the centuries and millennia that followed, with a group of disgruntled Serennians even having planned to kidnap the Supreme Chancellor roughly one millennium ago. It was therefore unsurprising that the planet became one of the most important and influential strongholds of the Separatist Alliance during the Clone Wars.
Yet, perhaps one of the most well-known elements of Serennian society are its aristocratic Counts and their noble families, who have ruled the planet since its initial colonisation. The Great Houses have some of the most famous names across the galaxy, such as House Demici, Palerma, Ku, and Ketwol. While all the heads of the Great Houses carry the title of Count, all answer to their liege lord, the Count of Serenno, the true ruler of the planet and its people.

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.
