Return to Kuat Sector

The Vuma System is one of the seven systems of the Kuat Sector. Once a stop off on the old Corellian Run, Vuma's planets are rich with minerals and ore, and combined have a population of over a billion people. Cold is how most would describe the Vuma System. Frozen tundra and remote mining stations are keys to Vuma's wealth. Huge deposits of Duracrete, a prolific and high demand material used in many construction projects across the Empire, and Meleenium, another high demand ore used in the development of tools, guns, and even starships, are littered across the three planets.

The Vuma system is also home to a Luxury Space Colony. Many use this colony as a meeting point or trading post when dealing in the construction and purchase of starships from the nearby Kuat Drive Yards. Many will port their ships here before sale. The comforting surroundings tend to help ease buyers into the idea of owning a new ship. The box style design of the station allows for large and luxurious living space that even the Empire's rich and famous seek eagerly.

Vuma

Vuma, is the most populous planet in the system with over a billion inhabitants, making up over 75% of the total system population. A heavily forested surface brings some relief to the cold temperatures that run rampant on the planet. Vuma, due to its weather tends to have slightly lower than average oxygen levels, making living on the planet an adjustment for new settlers. The planet also boasts a few bodies of water, which have become a tourist attraction for the area due to their ability to resist freezing over in the colder temperatures. Many can even find spots in which hot springs have been formed through small cracks in the molten core allowing steam to rise and heat the water.

Vuma has cityscapes spread across the planet, with towering skyscrapers, civc centers, and business offices dotting the landscape. In some parts of Vuma, palaces fit for royalty have been built for various Imperial officials and guest dignitaries. Snowcapped statues and heated fountains bring city plazas much needed decoration and culture.

Vuma (I)

Vuma (I) city built into the side of a glacier

Vuma (I) boats a population of almost 45 million inhabitants. It's planet surface is made up of mostly glacier ice except where volcanic fissures have opened up in a centralized location on the planet, depositing rock and minerals in darker patches on the glacier plains. A few mountain ranges have formed over time in the ice shelves jutting from the ground.

While cold, the daytime temperatures are manageable but the nighttime temperatures drop considerably, making it difficult for anyone to brave the elements for extended periods of time. It's always advised to limit activity to the day. This may not be an inconvenience for those natural inhabitants of the planet and the many Imperial Citizens who made their home here.

Like most populous planets, cities have developed over time giving rise to hotels, office buildings, high rises and many other civilian structures. Due to the high supply of Duracrete found within the system, construction projects were quick to develop and materials easy to come by.

Vuma III

Vuma (III) Is a stark and barren planet, made up of rock and craters. No atmosphere exists on the planet and many would argue that if it didn't orbit the nearby sun, it would almost be considered a moon. Vuma III is home to just over a million inhabitants, most of which work the mines littering the surface of the planet. While the planet's income is low, the amount of mineral and ore mined from it, more than makes up its lack of living. Huge deposits of Duracrete and Meleenium boost the economy of the system and make it an important asset of the Galactic Empire.

Syphon-Class Research and Development Station

Orbiting Vuma III is a Syphon-Class Research and Development Station, which houses a state-of-the-art computer database center. The database keeps track of incoming supplies, newest developments, and a vast amount of knowledge rivaling most libraries. One of its principal dedications is the modification of starships and weapons. This is a great advantage so close to Kuat Drive Yards. The scientists toiling away in the bowls of the station are looking for ways to add an extra boost to speed on fighters, increase power to weapons on capital ships, increase armor on vehicles, and even increase ammunition capacity on weapons.

Research stations such as these are the life blood of the Empire's mission to keep advancing it's military technology and dominate the galaxy. Scientists work around the clock to ensure that the Imperial forces continue to strive to new heights. This proven track record means that only the top scientists may qualify for service aboard such stations. Intelligence combined with hard work and diligence through the Ministry of Industry.
