The planet Tarsonis is a lush, beautiful, green and wet world that is the main culture and population center of the Greeop System. The planet has become extremely popular since it was colonized and joined the New Republic. Tarsonis is the home of the sentient species Nincar, which live in a primitive tribal society that have established small villages along the many waterways. First discovered by the Old Republic, it was forgotten until Alderaanian refugees became the first colonists of the planet shortly after Alderaan's destruction, looking to relocate on a world parallel to Alderaan's beauty. After the fall of Palpatine's Empire, Mon Calamari and Quarren colonists began to settle Tarsonis' deep oceans and have since turned Tarsonis into the largest Mon Calamari and Quarren population center outside of Mon Calamari itself. Both these groups of colonists leave the Nincar in peace.
While the Alderaanians built their cities on the land masses, the Mon Calamari and Quarren have built their floating cities in the oceans, and have united to form a planetary government allied to the New Republic. The capital city of Tarsonis is New Morea City, populated chiefly by the Alderaanian colonists. The military of Tarsonis, the Tarsonis Defense Force (TDF), works in coalition with the Rebel Squadrons fleets to defend the planet. The TDF currently is armed with 2 squadrons of B-Wings and an Alderaanian War Cruiser. Two Rebel Squadrons Golan III defense stations orbit the planet, along with a third commanded by the TDF that houses the bulk of its space force.
With 75% of its surface covered by free standing water, Tarsonis also has a developing aquaculture technology led by the Mon Calamari and Quarren colonists which is already beginning to produce mass quantities of food. The colonists are now working on creating trade networks to export this resource. The Alderaanian colonists also have their own enterprises with a resort and tourist industry, taking advantage of Tarsonis' many beaches. Also notable is Tarsonis University, which is the most distinguished center of higher learning in the Greeop System.
