Capsule: Named for the Iridonian scout who discovered the system (and many neighboring ones)in 2,394 BBY. Corellian and Iridonian settlers colonized the planet from 2,393 to 2,375 BBY, establishing a major city and outlaying communities on each of the five continents. Duros established a large settlement on the east coast of the largest continent in 2,325 BBY.
The first planetary Constitution was signed into law by 28 of the world’s 33 cities in 2,242 BBY. Elections spanned a whole local year and the first Senate was sworn into office in their respective cities in 2,242 BBY. After five years of semi-success, the Senate of Shan Dao was deadlocked and unable to function. Karbo Haal, a Duro Senator, eloquently proposed a new Constitution, with the new position of Chief Minister of State to lead the Senate and be elected by the Senate. Karbo Haal was sworn in as the first Chief Minister of State in 2,236 BBY.
The Nagai invaded Shan Dao in 69 BBY. Many able-bodied men were conscripted by the Nagai for their ongoing war with the Tofs. The Senate was forcibly disbanded until a Fleet from the Grand Army of the Republic liberated Shan Dao in 22 BBY. Many resistance fighters joined the GAR, as did freed conscripts rescued from Nagai forces. Shada Duran, a Zabrak freedom fighter and resistance leader was given a field commission as General for her network of information and supplies, and the tremendous support she had from her pilots and troops. Courting Republic Sienar, she convinced the Republic Navy to greenlight an ambitious Naval Base of Seinar design.
Admiral Shada Duran proved instrumental in liberating the entire Sector well ahead of schedule and with far fewer casualties than originally anticipated. Elections were held in 21 BBY, Samhan Haal being the first Chief Minister of State in over 40 years. When the Clone Wars ended in 19 BBY Duran Station was 91% operational. In 17 BBY Samhan Haal Became the first representative of Shan Dao on the Imperial Senate, and Admiral Shada Duran became the first Imperial Governor of Shan Dao and combined the offices of Imperial Governor and Chief Minister of State. She would serve for a total of three terms. Samhan Haal served as Imperial Senator until 5 BBY. Lukaz Gateway served as Imperial Senator until the Senate was disbanded by the Emperor in 0 BBY. Herrmann Sulo Served as the Imperial Governor from 5 BBY to present.
In 4 ABY Moff Demetri Xergon was, like most Imperial Officers, in denial at first when the news of the Emperor’s death was received. When he realized the potential for chaos, he contacted Grand Moff Kadann. Shan Dao, enjoying great prosperity under Imperial rule, to say nothing of the Naval assets or mineral wealth in the Sector, was not part of any Priority Sector. The brief foray of Nagai-Tof campaigns to invade the Zeltron homeworld was aborted nearly as soon as it had begun and was in another Sector entirely.
In order to discourage potential warlords from even daring to claim Shan Dao’s military assets or wealth, Moff Demetri Xergon chose to align with Grand Moff Kadann as he seemed to genuinely be concerned with holding the empire together.
Additional System Data
Mika
Named for Shan’s daughter, this metallic spheroid gleams like polished copper in the light of its bronze sun. No atmosphere due to intense solar winds.
Bronze, red and orange crystals can be found on the barren surface. Significant deposits of Kunda, Mullinine, Neutronium ores, as well as Hiridium and Beam Gem crystal make fore great mining opportunities that only recently became feasible. An ever-expanding TaggeCo Space Platform casts a growing shadow on the dayside of the scorched world, supplemented by an Orbital Nightcloak.
Oovid
This Volcanic world is barely inhabited, due to the Type III atmosphere and extreme environment requires a full environmental suit to survive. With a similar mineral composition to Mika and a significantly safer working environment, heavy mining has been in operation for nearly two thousand years thanks to Telos Shield technology (also used on Mustafar). Liquid Byrothsis is extracted from the lava. Some independent mining guilds are still in operation whereas those associated with Seperatist corporations were nationalized by the Empire.
Veska
A sweltering jungle planet with a Type II atmosphere, both breath masks and thermal suits are strongly advised. Forest-cloaked mountains have been found to have valuable Nova and Upari Crystals in large deposits. Legislation to govern mining is still pending.
Shan Dao
See above. Shan Dao Nova Emeralds are similar in composition to Sarkan Nova Rubies but contain vastly different impurities and are just as valuable on the galactic market. Mining operations for Bronzium, Diatium, Phobium and Rylith are carefully controlled to be environmentally friendly.
Vordo
This gas giant was named for a sullustan scout and friend of Shan’s. Shan made the gruesome discovery that his friend’s ship had reached the system first but had the misfortune of a forced reversion to realspace by the gas giant’s gravity well, and crashed on one of the planet’s larger moons. Three of the eighteen moons are inhabitable, but so far only one is being colonized.
Vordo's Belt
This asteroid belt is a snug fit between Vordo and Vordo’s Rubat. Sienar Fleet Systems owns mining rights to 2/3 of the asteroid belt with TaggeCo owning rights the last third.
Vordo's Rubat
Named for its resemblance to a raw Rubat gemstone, this crystalline planetoid is anything but spherical. It is believed that at one time Vordo's Belt
and Vordo's Rubat
were a single planetary mass, but some event blasted the outer layers off to form the asteroid belt.
