Anoreta is a planet in the Farlands.
Known as the “Little Slice of the Core” in the Farlands, Anoreta is an anomaly, as it is as wealthy as a Core world can be. Its immigrants are actually descendents of the aristocracy from mainly the Core, but also some from The Rim, in addition to any workers they brought with them.
History
Anoreta is actually very recent. It was only settled shortly before the Democratic Revolution, when the last autocratic Emperor granted his son, who could not inherit his throne, a planet to make his own. He was given local sovereignty to rule as the Grand Duke of Anoreta, and the current Grand Duchess is a direct descendent of him.
Anoreta became a place of migration for aristocrats and nobles who could not inherit their family’s possessions and power. Seeing the opportunity to have vast agricultural estates and supported by their wealthy families, many moved to the planet. Their workers also migrated, lured by the promising salaries and free real estate. As a result, most of the Empire’s aristocratic and noble lineages have relatives in Anoreta. Some in the Core even see Anoreta as an integral part of their region instead of being another planet in the Farlands due to the planet’s almost identical culture to it.
Due to the last autocratic Emperor’s wishes to make his son a successful ruler, the Imperial government funded the construction of education systems, infrastructure, and economic sectors that are still the envy of many inside and outside the Farlands. Anoretans are known to be excellent professors, outstanding career military officers, successful businessmen and bankers, and superb administrators.
Anoreta is a centre for finance in the Farlands. Its banks have a major stake in Farlands banking, and the Imperial Stock Exchange of Anoreta is the biggest stock exchange in the region. As a result of having agricultural estates worked by (mainly) droids, Anoreta also exports much of its produce, including its famous Anoretan wine. Anoreta’s highly-skilled workforce also excels in Imperial education and administration, as well as in other specialized fields. Anoretans going offworld to provide quality service to other planets in the Farlands is not unheard of. The best university of the region, the Imperial Anoreta University, is located here, and it ranks #102 in the entire Empire, an impressive feat considering that the Farlands is ranked third worst in higher education.
As is expected from a wealthy world, Anoreta also hosts extravagant hotels, casinos, resorts, marinas, malls, and other places of luxury, some of the best in the Farlands. Aristocrats and top officers from the wealthiest regions of the Empire sometimes visit the planet, a stark contrast from the rest of the region. Interestingly, however, Anoreta ban the locals from gambling, pushing its inhabitants offworld if they wish to do so. Moreover, poorer citizens of the planet are granted vouchers and coupons in order to afford the luxuries of the rich in summer, redeemable only in their home planet.
Geography
Anoreta is a lush, beautiful world, dotted with lakes, waterfalls, beaches, forests, and snow mountains, the last being present in high mountain chains or in the fringes of the planet.
Anoreta’s soil is extremely fertile, providing agricultural estates with high crop yields. Anoretan wine is considered crème de la crème in the Farlands and The Imperial Rim, and of “excellent quality” in wealthier regions.
Anoreta has poor mineral resources, however. Mining companies do not invest in the planet often, if at all. Furthermore, environmental regulations set in place to maintain the natural beauty of this world make it almost impossible to turn a profit from any extraction, if at all.
Planetary Behaviour and Characteristics
Anoreta has a rotation of 22 hours, forcing locals to either rely on the Imperial standard, or use their planet’s hours instead.
Anoreta’s orbit is 451 days, forcing locals to rely on the Imperial standard, usually.
Anoreta’s atmosphere is also composed of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, xenon, helium and krypton.
Anoreta is 0.83x times the size of Earth.
Satellites
Anoreta has no satellites. Resorts do make artificial projections of one if their customers wish it, however.
