Zeltros/Legends

"I never thought I'd find true love on Zeltros, and I didn't. What I did find was a double-jointed Zeltron cafarel named Lissahl who taught me the errors of monogamy. I might never leave!"

- Jiri Sools

Zeltros was the home world of the Zeltrons.

History
Zeltros has been considered a jewel of the Inner Rim since the ancient days of the Old Republic. In accordance with that species' reputation, Zeltros was known as a luxury world, where many went to vacation, owing to the planet's abundance of pleasurable facilities ranging from amusement parks to theatres, night clubs, and much more. It was also known as “the party planet". There was almost always a planet-wide party occurring, and even when it wasn't, the Zeltrons were looking for a reason to throw one. Like Naboo, it was ruled by an elective monarchy. The king of Zeltros is Arno and the queen is Leonie.



The planet joined the Galactic Republic at least 4,000 BBY. Despite its famous atmosphere of leisure, Zeltros maintained a substantial defense force, although it lacked planetary shielding and was susceptible to orbital bombardments. The planet was invaded twelve times, the first invasion in 596 BBY and the most recent in 4 ABY. The planet was never taken over by the Empire. To date, almost every invasion of Zeltros, save for a chain of three invasions shortly after the Battle of Endor, broke apart when the invaders made it planetside, the pheromones and party atmosphere overwhelming them.

Of those three, the first was an invasion by the insectile Hiromi, who succeeded in taking over a large kitchen in the royal palace (arguably because the Zeltrons didn't notice, or didn't care), before being interrupted by a successful invasion by the nearly emotionless Nagai, who were interrupted by a third invasion of the Tofs, their natural enemies, resulting in the Nagai (and the Hiromi) allying with the others on Zeltros (including several notable Alliance and Imperial members) to drive the Tofs back, resulting in one of the largest parties in history, no mean feat by Zeltron standards.The Zeltrons were great fighters, the Empire has never been successfull at taking over this planet.The planet was a member of the Alliance of Free Planets.

Behind the scenes
Many sources place Zeltros in the Inner Rim Territories, but Ultimate Alien Anthology and The New Essential Guide to Alien Species places it in Wild Space.
