You may also include orbital position, rotational period (length of day), and orbital period (days in a year) in this section. if you have submitted Astronomical Objects for this system, you may link them here, and if you would like to expand on the system in more detail, you may use that template to do it at your leisure. ]

* Location: [ This can be coordinates based on the map, a screen shot of the on the map location.

LOCATION INFORMATION
* Capital City: [ What is the name of the planet’s capital? ]

* Planetary Features: [ What are interesting artificial features of the planet? Ruins, interconnected cities, floating urban platforms. This field is used to sketch out artificial features, adding RP opportunities, but without the need for specific details like in the the major locations field. You can also include if the planet is primarily Wild, Rural, Suburban, Urban, or a Mix. ]

* Major Locations: [ What are the major locations on your world? Include an explanation on each. ]

* Force Nexus (Optional): [ If you wish to add a Force nexus (light, neutral, or dark), you are required to justify it through your submission and history. ]

Stronger Nexus will be more closely scrutinized for balance and fairness during judging. Choose one: Weak (A weak influence on the planet and the people on it. A fragile nexus that can potentially be altered by people or events, i.e. a lightside nexus could be corrupted by atrocity or a dark side nexus cleansed by the actions of a mass of Jedi.), Moderate (A moderate influence on the planet and the people on it. Could be altered with a great enough event.), Strong (A strong influence on the planet and the people on it. Powerful enough to be renewed in the event of a great cataclysm, and unlikely to be altered.) ]

Is it isolated from society or is it in the middle of civilization? Is it guarded? Open to the public or private access only? Keep in mind that the Strength of the Nexus above must be reflected in this field. ]
* Effects: [ What sort of effects does this Nexus confer? An aura of fear? Reinvigorating those on the world? Perhaps it induced tricks of the mind, to test the visitors. These effects can be positive, neutral, or negative, and should reflect the nature and history of the Nexus. ]
