Avalon (av-uh-lon)[[1]] is a barren terrestrial planet with no atmosphere and a heavily cratered terrain with massive lava flows. The planet's almost non-existent rotation causes world to have daytime that lasts about half its year.
Contents
Ecomony
The planet is very important to the New Republic for its large deposits of iron ores, platinum, titanium, and various common and precious minerals important to many different critical technologies. Several important construction guilds have major operations on Avalon, despite its harsh lava conditions, to mine and export the valuable raw materials.
Defense
The Patriot Battle Fleet has been assigned to guard this mineral jewel from frequent pirate raids and Imperial aggression. They maintain a presence on a platform base that orbits the planet.
