Ilum

Illum is a colony of the Sanguine Potestatem and one of the main sources of the valuable crystals used in the construction of lightsabers. The caverns containing the crystals were long ago turned into a Jedi Temple, which fell into ruin and decay after centuries of neglect. Unlike the crystals of other planets, the crystals of Ilum could produce green, blue, red, yellow, and violet colored lightsaber crystals.

History
Ilum was made a colony by the Sanguine Potestatem shortly after its queen was crowned. The Sanguine Potestatem claimed the abandoned Jedi Temple found on the planet and turned it into a glorious Sith Temple after hauling ore and other building resources from Endelaan. After completing the outpost, the new population, made of miners and slaves, began to dig for new tunnels beneath the grounds. The planet provides the Sanguine Potestatem regularly with lightsaber crystals.

Crystals
Unlike the crystals of other planets, the crystals of Ilum could produce green, blue, red, yellow, and violet colored lightsaber crystals. These crystals may be used for other relics and artifacts as well. However, because the shallow levels of the caves had already been exploited and damaged in the past, the miners must dig deeper and further into the planet to reach the usable crystals. The expeditions to find new crystal sleeves are dangerous, and have on occasion cost the lives of the miners that had been brought from Endelaan for the purpose of finding them.

Gorgodon Fur
Although Gorgodons are not exactly hunted after by the people on the colony of Ilum, these beasts still attack the Temple on occasion. When this happens, they are slain, and their fur is used to make coats for the protection of the Endelaan people who come to the planet.

Defenses
Now gone, Ilum had two VSD's in its system, placed there by Cameron Centurion. The ships were the same ones that had been on Endelaan's orbit prior to Endelaan getting shields.

Now, thanks to Domino's unwillingnees to be defencless, Ilum has conventional defenses set up for protection including a V-150 Anti-Orbital Ion Cannon, a HVs-2 Hypervelocity Gun, and a DSS-02 Shied Generator (Not a planetary modle). Though she has hinted that these are just the beginning of her plans to turn Ilum into a total stronghold for the Postatum.

Wardens of the Ice
Chosen by Nessarose deWinter, Domino became the first official Warrior Warden of the Ice. Under Domino's governing of the planet, slaves were brought in from Cathar to aid in the mining of the crystals beneath the ground of Ilum.

"I am the Warden of the Ice. And this is my domain, Ilum! Here only the strong survive. It is where you will spend out the rest of your days..."
