Planet: Mustafar
Table of Contents [hide]

Mustafar is a volcanic wasteland tormented by the competing forces of two great gas giants: Jestefad and the larger but more distant Lefrani. Passing close between them, Mustafar is wrenched by intense gravity and lashed by powerful electromagnetic waves. Indeed, the planet only escapes being captured by Jestafad by a few narrow degrees. This constant grappling churns the molten core violently and shatters the delicate crust before it can ever finish forming. The planet's unique composition remains molten at much lower temperatures, preventing the crust from thickening. Thermal drafts boil the atmosphere, a noxious blend of volcanic fumes blackened by a dense upper layer of smoke and streaked by lightning strikes. Technology that is not protected by military-grade deflectors must be extensively modified to withstand radiant heat and the incendiary ash that periodically rains down from turbulent skies. 

Yet despite Mustafar's chaotic habitat, life took root here. The planet's rotation protects a single stable continent from gravitational shear, allowing it to avoid being crushed by the gas giants during transit.  While it has been shrinking over the centuries as major basalt features broke away and sank into the mantle, the obsidian core remains stubborn and is honeycombed with a vast network of subterranean chambers where evolution occurred. However, the biology of Mustafar's flora and fauna is extremist, and native life forms do not prosper offworld. The apex organisms are the endangered Mustafarians, intelligent insects who developed into separate worker and scholar races. Their ancient mythology holds that Mustafar was once a verdant and fertile world, a claim that is supported by some evidence collected by field researchers. Legends tell the tale of Corvax, a noblewoman who attempted to use a Force relic called the Bright Star crystal to resurrect her fallen husband. But the effort corrupted the relic, turning the planet's Force energy dark and pushing Mustafar off course.
