VERISS: MINING COLONY
---------------------------------------
Version 1.0
By [GT]EraOfDesann
Please note that this version is different from the one
released on Gametoast. It has been updated... I don't
remember exactly WHAT has been updated but just believe
me when I say it's better. This is NOT the final version.
The next version should have a few more fixes along with
new custom units! Perhaps there might even be a third
version featuring an Order 66 mode. We'll see...
DESCRIPTION:
Veriss was once a vital mining world in the Maw System
during the early years of the Republic. Since then it's
valuable minerals are on the verge of depletion and most
of the planet's inhabitants have left for more promising
futures. The planet is covered with desolate, rocky, plains
with rivers of lava that flow out from the planet's core.
The climate is cold and dry -- not a trace of water exists.
Due to the planet's increasingly low population and vast
size the planet has become ideal for numerous smuggling
operations as well as other illegal activities.
HISTORY:
During the Clone Wars a small underground colony served as
a base of operations for CIS forces -- battle droid units were
being manufactured in the dozens of thousands beneath the
planet's uninviting surface. For a brief time the infamous
General Grievous operated from the base. The base was soon
located by the CIU (Clone Intelligence Unit) and Republic forces,
led by Jedi Master Mace Windu, were able to force the CIS off
the planet. Republic forces remained stationed on Veriss until
the end of the war and ultimately left the planet after the
execution of Order 66.
Between the time of the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War
Veriss was virtually ignored. Former CIS officers who had defected
to the Rebel Alliance over the years suggested using the old
CIS base as an outpost after the retreat from Yavin IV. A garrison of
troops was thus stationed in the abandoned colony. Eventually Veriss
was used a base of operations for the newly founded Renegade Squadron.
The rebel forces eventually had to retreat when the Empire stormed the
planet. Shortly afterwards it was discovered that the base's location had
been leaked to Imperial Intelligence from the inside. The source has yet
to be uncovered.
Veriss is currently under the control of the Galactic Empire. Numerous
weapon manufacturing plants have been established on the planet's
surface.
