Planetary Features:
Orenka is a temperate world made comfortable for most any race in its varying climates. Mountains, forests, jungles, and rolling hills and plains are the primary terrain of the planet. However, large amounts of its secondary terrain is taken up by freezing tundra, tropical environments, and a few small deserts that pockmark the surface near the center of some continents. This variation in setting has great appeal, as the planet is found intriguing by scientists, especially when one considers some of its strange atmospheric and geological activity.

On some planets there have been hurricanes in the warmer climates, and this is the same for Orenka. However, there are also storms in the height of winter that come down from the northern pole that are called "Ice Hurricanes" by past records. These storms are said to be able to freeze anything in their path within seconds or minutes, and should someone get caught in the eye of the storm, it is best to say one's prayers, as they will soon be frozen solid. What causes these ice hurricanes is unknown, but some suspect it has something to do with the strong tides the three moons of Orenka create, as well as its somewhat peculiar angle of rotation. Scientists have yet to study these strange storms further, but needless to say they are exceptionally dangerous, and thus most settlers keep to the middle or southern ends of the planet, though some colonies have been found to be farther north for hunting and training purposes.

One of the most well known features of the planet is its large selection of dangerous creatures, as well as the strange variety of them as well. Large, dog-sized rats called Raavi seek out trees polluted by mold and other ailments, eating it to help the trees, and even get rid of smaller creatures. Easy to tame and generally beneficial creatures to have around. Kungael, large deer-like animals that are omnivorous are also present, easy to tame and treat like cattle, these animals provide much of the food for the larger beasts and population. Other creatures are also present, many of them dangerous within and outside their home element and environments. great dragons, leviathans, winged beasts called griffins, enormous bear-like beasts and tiger creatures also roam the planet, a challenge for even the greatest hunters. Apparently some ships or settlers brought other creatures to the planet, as Acklays, Nexu beasts, Aiwhas and other creatures have also been found.

Finally, there are a few plants worthy of note on the planet, including large, very durable trees that make for great housing or to use in the creation of useful items or beautiful artwork. Other plants have been found to be poisonous, others are a cure to said poisonous plants, but of great note is one plant called the Sajarn Plant, which is used as a pipe-smoking herb that seems to clear the mind and body of poisons. Some say this is more medicine than recreational herb, but the plants effects have yet to be tested in full, though it is noted to be non-addictive.

History:

50,000 BBY Star Dragons, otherwise known as Duinuogwuin, start a civilization on Orenka in secret. Whether this is all of the Duinuogwuin or not is unknown, however, the system's difficulty to reach and varied planetary climates does lend credence to the idea. Here the Duinuogwuin establish a religion revolving around the goddess Senra, who is said to be the Protector and Lover of the Star Dragons.

27,000 BBY The Duinuogwuin, upon being threatened by the Infinite Empire, hide their people and their religion, creating, some say, Dragon's Keep, a stalwart mountain fortress that reaches higher than any other in the galaxy.

4,050 BBY: Orenka is discovered by a space exploration and colonization group called Runestar Corporation. After discovering the planet after many months of exploration, the colonists eventually settled down on the planet and learned to coexist with the environment. Due to the unstable nature of the unknown regions and the nebulae surrounding the sector, getting word out to the Republic was very difficult. Due to this the colony sustained itself and usually recruited smugglers or merchants to trade with them when they near the edge of the sector or when members of the colony traveled outside the Unknown Regions.

4,000 BBY Jedi Knights establish a safe haven for Jedi and the colony alike, setting up Fort Tsuras at the bottom edge of the Ice Hurricane range, offering protection from the elements as well as external attack. This safe haven was also used as a listening post by the Jedi, able to reach far and wide through the Unknown Regions, Wild Space, and Outer Rim.

3,700 BBY Security forces are grown because of past wars, as many fear the tidings of new battles and wars to be had in the future. The Orenka Militia gains many volunteers and with training from Jedi and recruited soldiers, mercenaries, and even some Mandalorians, the Militia becomes a force to be reckoned with. Fort Tsuras is thus expanded by the colonists and made into a full military base with a Jedi Sanctuary at its core.

900 BBY Given past wars and conflicts, the Orenkan people distance themselves from the affairs of the galaxy and only purchase what is necessary to keep their equipment up to date. Given the difficulty of reaching the planet it was primarily used as a safe haven and kept secret, which made the planet something of a legend among the common folk of the galaxy.

1-5 ABY: The colonists have some issues with Imperial officers seeking to claim the colony as a safe haven and new territory. Peacekeeping and Military forces of Orenka retaliate against the Empire and wage a guerrilla campaign, eventually forcing the Empire from the planet entirely after capturing a number of their ships and using the vessels against them.

30 ABY: Due to unknown circumstances, Orenka is finally abandoned by colonists. What the cause of this sudden exodus is unknown, some speculate a natural disaster or too many casualties drove the colony and settlements to be dismantled or abandoned before the colonists left, while others say outside influences such as war or conflict drove them to leave the planet.

63 ABY: Orenka is rediscovered by former colonist Veko Kay'lak, whose parents served in the military and peacekeeping forces of Orenka.
