Iego/Legends

Since the dawn of hyperspace travel, Iego (I-ago) had been legendary among spacers. Iego was a rogue planetoid inhabited by crash survivors and indigenous, subterranean Maelibi. It had no primary star, but was warmed by near-by stellar gases. It did, however, have numerous moons and moonlets, which were homes of the Diathim, which were known by some as angels.

Planetary Features
The Scatter is located in the far south of the planet,and almost every being who is unfortunate enough to be stranded stays there for the rest of their lives.

The Choir Alignment is located near the planet's equator, and it is one of the few places that the Diathim will touch down on the planet's surface. It is unknown why they choose to land here, but it creates a brilliant light that can be seen for miles.

The Boneyard is in the north, bordering Iego's mountains. It consists of massive bones, too big to be from any well known creature. Underneath it, one can find caverns inhabited by the demon-lik Maelibi.

Indigenous Species
Iego's original inhabitants, the Maelibi, are large, subterranean creatures that sing a song so pure that it captures the very essence of song. They live in large, underground caverns, but they intermittently poach the castaway population, dragging their screaming victims back below ground.

The inhabitants of Iego's moons, Diathim are vibrant, flying creatures that were said to be of legendary beauty. When a new starship arrives in orbit, a mass of angels assembles around it, entrancing the pilot into crashing his ship onto the rocky surface of Iego.

For many years, spacers have somehow ended up on Iego. Very few have ever made it back. A mass of starships named the Scatter sits on Iego's surface, and around it live the castaway tribes. Each time a new being lands on the planet, they pledge allegiance to one of the tribes. There are a select few who have chosen not to join a tribe, and instead live inside the scatter; alone, angry, and often insane.

For some reason, time does not seem to affect Iego, as castaways no longer feel the burden of age or hunger. It is said that Humans who served in the Great Sith War four thousand years ago could still be alive on Iego.
