Melida/Daan Unified Congress Building

The Melida/Daan Unified Congress Building was a structure built on the tumultuous planet of Melida/Daan. Constructed during a rare time of peace between the warring Melida and Daan forces, the building only stood undamaged for three years, after which war was once again declared and the building was bombed. Later, when the Young ended the war and took over the government, they chose this building to host their council meetings.

History
The Melida/Daan Unified Congress Building was constructed as a government building during a rare break in the ongoing civil war between the Melida and the Daan, when the two warring factions tried to rule together. Three years later, the peace fell apart and war broke out again, and the building was bombed.

In 44 BBY, the Young ended the war by waging a new war against, and defeating, the combined Melida and Daan forces. After forming a new government, the Young chose the building to host advisory council meetings as a symbol of unity.

Characteristics
When the Young took the bombed-out building over in 44 BBY, the building was heavily damaged; many of the windows were gone, and a large portion of the roof was missing, leaving the building open to the weather. In addition, there was a lot of debris lying around, ranging in size from pieces small enough to be cleared out by the Young to larger objects such as columns and beams that the Young were unable to move.

During the Young's occupation of the building, it had a large round table at which the Young advisory council held its meetings.

Behind the scenes
