Amanus/Arnok-65 Medj'K'ai Nebula Star Wars

Star System: Arnok-65

Amanus is in another system which would be very second-rate in the cluster were it not for the presence of large numbers of Mon Calamari and its use as a holiday world and crafts home. This is the only system with any number of Mon Calamari.
It has 8 planets:

Arnok-65 / A A Gas giant

Arnok-65 / B Methane mix atmosphere. Hot house effect. Acidic and corrosive. Rumours that a research base was established here aeons ago have never bene substantiated, but many explorers have died trying to find it…

Amanus Altitude and Amanus Climate
Note: in the climate map below, the green areas represent land with forest of some kind, though the poles do contain a fair amount of frozen ice in the shallower areas. In the altitude map, the darker the sea-bed the deeper the ocean, with the darkest being around 9000m below sea level. Few of the islands are above 2000m, with only a single peak reaching approximately 4000m.

Amanus Altitude

Amanus itself is a tropical water world, approx 35,000km (22,500m) in diameter, with a few useful elements and a richness of life beneath the waves and in the sky, or in the huge forests of a giant kelp-like weed. The seabed is said to be spectacular for its range of aquatic life, particularly a huge variety of purely aquatic sea snakes as well as the more conventional (to human) air-breathing sea-snakes living near the surface.

The few continents that do exist are only prominent in the eyes of the Mon Calamari: they are now mostly undersea continental shelf. The islands and island chains which do exist tend to be the protusion of huge mountain ranges above the surface of the sea. Aesthetically they towards the spectacular, often sided by cliffs rising straight or steeply from the sea, a rich jungle and rainforest life clinging to the slopes, with waterfalls cascading off the slopes into the water.

The planet has attracted a large number of Mon Calamari, with a great many artists. There are even suggestions of some Quarren in their communities in the deeper trenches. The sea its self supports a large number of floating Mon Calamari settlements (up to Large Town size), and a single, small floating city.

Whilst some of the islands support hotels for visiting tourists and bioscientists, on the whole there is little else but the beauty for land-dwellers.


Suup'tan

Gas Giant with a few small asteroids as moons, but around which floats a small shipyard manned mainly by human, Twi'lek, Mon Calamari and Sullustan.

Arnok-65 / E Super Giant, 10 moons, one water/ice.

Arnok-65 / F Gas Giant, ring, 2 moons. Arnok-65 / G Barren.
