Warning: This infobox is missing the following parameters: otherlife Shuldene was a planet in the Yarith sector of the Outer Rim Territories' Greater Javin region. Formerly a waterworld with abundant aquatic life, Shuldene froze solid after undergoing an orbital shift. Tourists occasionally visited the planet to amaze at the carcasses of massive sea creatures poking through the glassy ice surface.
Description
The planet Shuldene was the namesake of the Shuldene system, which was located near the Coreward-most tip of the Yarith sector, within the Greater Javin region of the Outer Rim Territories. Shuldene sat at the nexus of two hyperlanes: "The Loop," which circled the Kiax Nebula to link Shuldene with the regional planets Lutrillia and Mijos, and another route leading back to the Mid Rim.[1]
Shuldene was once a waterworld with abundant aquatic life, but an orbital shift froze the planet solid. The surface turned glassy smooth, except where the carcasses of[1] massive[2] sea creatures poked up through the ice.[1]
History
During the Galactic Republic's expansion into the Greater Javin hundreds of years before the Galactic Civil War, entrepreneur Ecclessis Figg blazed lucrative hyperspace routes through the region that paved the way for its economic development. Where Shuldene had once been barricaded among the Twin Nebulae gas clouds, the chief impediments to regional navigation, Figg's new hyperlanes through the Kiax Nebula connected Shuldene with the heart of the Greater Javin along the Corellian Trade Spine.[1] Tourists sometimes visited Shuldene to see its frozen surface and gaze in awe at the dead sea creatures suspended in the ice.[2]
Behind the scenes
Shuldene was created for the 2004 Wizards of the Coast online article "Galactic Gazetteer: Hoth and the Greater Javin," a Star Wars Roleplaying Game supplement.[1] The Essential Atlas, published in 2009, added to Shuldene's lore.[2]
