Killian

This page refers to the planet Killian, in the Decuu system.

Description
The planet of Killian houses the massive Killian Shipyards, responsible for upholding the strength of the Confederated Navy, as well as the Naval Headquarters of the Confederacy. It is heavily industrialized, with 7 large cities spread across the two continents.

Killian houses little over 13 billion people, equally divided between Fulleri and Decuri. Most of the population work in the spaceports or at the shipyards. There are seven large starports on Killian, one for each major city.

The planet has standard gravity, and average temperature lies around 20 degrees Celsius. A Killiani day lasts about 24 standard hours, while a Killiani year lasts 400 standard days.

The planet is ruled by Planetary Governor Hikos Tel'Anh, a Decuri known for his excellent ship designs.

History
Killian was colonised by the Fuller Republic sometime between 2000 and 1500 BBY.

Killian was attacked several times during the 200 year long War of Lost Souls - a struggle between the Decuu Empire and the Fuller Republic, which cost billions of lifes on each side with no real gains, but the attacks were all repelled.

When the Black Star Confederacy was declared at the end of the 30 year long Unification War - essentially a civil war between Loyalist Fuller and Decuu forces on one side, and Rebel Decuu forces on the other - Killian retained its status as the primary shipbuilding planet in the Confederacy.

Over the next thousand years, it was heavily exploited. Industry flourished, and as mining tools got better, the world was slowly stripped of its natural resources. The last few places still holding natural resources were declared Sanctuaries in 295 BBY, and mining operations moved to other worlds. The status of Killian also increased when Naval Command was placed on the planet in 349 BBY, a status it holds to this day.

Today, Killian is the premier shipbuilding planet in the Confederacy, home to over 13 billion people.
