Sarrassia




 * "The Sith are the enemies of life itself, yet I will allow that isolated and accidental good can sometimes result from their rule. The religious war that has devastated Sarrassia since the rule of Chancellor Am-Ris is reportedly at an end under the rule of Lord Bactra, who has kept the Grumani Hierophants in check and barred Spumani Crusaders from pursuing their typically sanguinary quests. Though Bactra cares only for the planet's deposits of Sarrassian iron, I am grateful for any circumstance that lessens bloodshed."
 * ―Vannar Treece, ancient Jedi Master

Sarrassia was a world in the Sarrassia, in the Grumani Sector. It was a known source of Sarrassian Iron and the capital world of the Aurora Star Empire

History
Cold War

During the term of Republic Supreme Chancellor Paran Am-Ris a religious war started on Sarrassia that ravaged the planet for more than two and a half millennia.

New Sith Wars

During the Republic Dark Age the war was reported to be ended by the ancient Sith Lord Ayanos Bactra. Bactra succeeded in keeping the Grumani Hierophants in chek and barring Spumani Crusaders froom pursuing their typically sanguinary quests, although he cared only for planet's deposits of Sarrassian iron.

The Fall

During the Fall and the subsequent Long Night, Sarrassia along with the entirety of the Grumani Sector and the rest of the eastern sector of the Outer Rim Territories was left untouched by the Black Sun and the Zygerrian Slave Empire. Unlike the rest of the galaxy, the Grumani sector was not inhabited by pirate, slaver, ex-Imperial and former GFT forces leaving it fresh to be taken as the powerbase of the Aurora Star Empire
