The Exodus

As infertility closed her vice-like grip on the Lupines, it was decided that both Bloodlines would leave Schwartzweld. So great was their shame that they could no longer stand to look upon the planet that had birthed them.

However, both Loveloxx and Losstarot demanded a neutral party to help oversee their mutual task, and thusly a Jedi Knight of the Old republic was sent to help mediate between the two. It took many long days of angry words and grudging agreements, but planets were chosen and 'given' to each House.

Loveloxx Greater Houses

Loveloxx - Acilaris

The closest planet to the twin suns, Morasil and Termadus. It could be easily mistaken as a large asteroid but is definitely a planet. Acilaris has enough gravity to maintain an atmosphere (comprised mainly of hydrogen with traces of sulfur, carbon and boron). Because of its proximity to the suns, the surface temperature of the planet is extremely high and so ships can't land on the surface and for this reason nobody has ever visited Acilaris. Sensor scans have revealed a variety of rare minerals and even some crystals.

The presence of these minerals in other planets has meant a lack of interest in Acilaris although it is rumoured that one company has a contracted with the droids of Uffel to produce some special droids that could withstand the surface temperature.

Eidelbrendt - Nirauan

Nirauan is a remote planet, in the far end of the known galaxy in Gradilis sector, right on the boundary between Wild Space and the Unknown Regions. It is also located near Chiss Space. It has breathable atmosphere, with a Chiss Outpost on the surface.

Trigalis is a wet, green planet much like Kashyyyk. It's located in the outer rim.

Luthgarde - Palahi

Zieg’recht - Dorin

Dorin is a dark, dusty world and is the homeworld of the Kel Dor. Jedi Master Plo Koon comes from Dorin. The planet is located near two black holes, so not very many outsiders know much about it. Its atmosphere consists of carbon monoxide and helium.

Ranonachte - Klatooine

Klatooine (pronounced KLAT-too-een) is the homeworld of the Klatooinians, a highly religious humanoid species who are completely bound by a sacred treaty to the will of the Hutts. Very little is known about this world other than it has delicious paddy frogs and almost certainly is located in Hutt Space.

Kowak is a rainforest planet, located on the Outer Rim. It is the home to the indigenous Kowakian Monkey-Lizards.

Geiss - Molavar

Molavar was a backwater, desert world in the Outer Rim, with a number of seedy spaceports and low-income moisture farms. It was inhabited by beings of various species, but especially by the native Molavaran race.

Loveloxx Lesser Houses

Judig - Pzob

Pzob is an Outer Rim planet in the remote and uncharted K749 System. It is covered in thick heavy forests and swamps. It was colonized by nomadic Gamorreans decades prior to the formation of the Empire.

Mudejar - Essowyn

Essowyn is a planet in the Saurton system, which is in the Trax Sector, in the Outer Rim. It is 60% covered by water, and also has plains, low hills and craters. Due to its position between two asteroid belts, the planet is used by mining corporations, lead by the massive Messert Mines Corporation. The planet is the homeworld of the Saurtons, but is also inhabited by humans, Sullustans, and Verpine.

Lothair - Molavar

Molavar was a backwater, desert world in the Outer Rim, with a number of seedy spaceports and low-income moisture farms. It was inhabited by beings of various species, but especially by the native Molavaran race.

Ravenwing - Ryloth

Ryloth is the home planet of the race of the Twi'leks. Ryloth is a tidally locked planet, which means one side of the planet is constantly facing the sun. This side is called the Brightlands, and the other side is called the Nightlands. This results in the temperature on the day side being burning desert, and the night side the temperature is freezing cold. There is a habitable, twilight band around the planet where the day and night sides of the planet meet (just like Aurelia). The Twi'lek people live in a series of urban cities that are located in the habitable band of the planet. It has four continents and two oceans. The continents are Haxiang, Dengdian, Lienru and Tienhu; the oceans are the North Ocean and the South Ocean.

The Nightlands have an eerie beauty, strange crystal-like plants have evolved here, glowing from within, having to produce their own light from which to make energy due to the absence of natural light. These plants are a sight to behold, but many predators and criminals dwell in the nightlands and is often the site of podracing spectacles, the huge crystal trees often distract the pilots, causing them to crash and explode, much to the crowd's amusement. The Podracing cannot occur in the brightlands at all, but is found in the dark side of the habitable band of the planet.

Ryloth features a wide variety of landscapes, including ice caps, urban cities, forests and grasslands. The ice caps are inhabited by taun-tauns, and the forests are populated with ro-roos, moufs, phorples, krevols, billzem bugs, talcaris, scoolbs, tilacs, and froocs.

Olrecht - Sembla

Sembla is the watery world in which the Vurks hail from. Sembla is famous for is its rare, beautiful, and sometimes deadly orchids. The Lauza orchid is a key ingredient to many poisons used by assassins. It is located in the remote Slagus system in the outer rim. It is mostly swamps, bogs and warm seas that are heated by volcanic ridges. The Vurks are an amphibious humanoid species. They are a nomadic people and like to separate themselves from the rest of the galaxy's troubles. It is known that at least one Vurk, Coleman Trebor (who was killed by Jango Fett after he tried to attack Count Dooku in the (Battle of Geonosis) rose to the rank of Jedi master during the Jedi's twighlight years. Although the Vurk did their best to stay neutral during The Clone Wars, they eventually were forced to pick a side, which they decided on joining the Rebublic. After the purge Sembla was forgotten and went back to their usual ways in peace.

Shonnache - Cholganna

Cholganna is the homeworld of the Nexu and was colonized by Bothans, humans and Gran in 4,000 BBY. It has abundant prairies and vast forests and high mountains filled with ten types of animal life.

Imre - Omiddelon III

Omiddelon III is a planet in the Omiddelon system. The planet has four seasons: an intensely hot climate, a brief mild season, an extremely freezing winter, and another mild season. The planet, who's orbital and rotational axes are perpendicular, is home to the adars.

Leissin - Boz Pity

Boz Pity is a cemetery world, and was the setting for one of the Outer Rim Sieges near the end of the Clone Wars. The planet has been described as being bleak and grisly. The planet was occupied by the Bozans over 4000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Jedi Master Quinlan Vos moved his clone troops to Boz Pity during the Sieges. Shortly afterwards, the planet was the site of a massive battle between the Jedi and General Grievous. Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered Asajj Ventress barely alive in a bacta tank inside a Separatist medical facility hidden on the planet. Ventress nearly died in the battle, but Kenobi refused to give in to his own dark feelings and allowed her to live—only so she could escape capture and disappear. Jedi Masters Baytes and Adi Gallia met their ends here due to General Grievous' extra arms. Shortly after Adi's defeat, Mace Windu used the force to crash a STAP on top of the General. However Grievous' bodygaurds saved him and got him off planet and repaired. "He cost too much to go to waste." -Count Dooku upon seeing the wounded General.

Roth - New Cov

Meier - Belkadan

Belkadan is the location of the outpost of ExGal-4. This tropical planet is located in the Dalonbian Sector in the far Outer Rim.

Losstarot Greater Houses

Losstarot - Cathar

Note: Even though it had been decided that House Wulfgein would inhabit Cathar, at the last minute Wulfgein and Losstarot switched worlds in an attempt to hide the Vials. It was a spur of the moment decision that no one but the Elders of House Losstarot and House Wulfgein knew of.

Cathar is the homeworld of the cat-like species of the same name, the Cathar. Once a planet of rolling savannahs and densely forested uplands, Cathar was reduced to a desolate wasteland during the Great Sith War. Since then, a new culture has developed and now thrives upon the still healing planet.

Sundergotte - Garqi

Garqi was a very unusual planet, as it appeared purple from space. This was mainly because the minerals in its soil turned the native plant life purple. It was here that jedi master Mace Windu found his unique purple crystal to form his lightsaber.

Richter - Nilban

Nilban is a frigid planet found in the Outer Rim Territories, and inhabited by warrior tribespeople also named the Nilban. Steuerung - Munto Codru

Munto Codru is an Outer Rim planet of the Codru system, largely ignored by the rest of the galaxy, mostly due to its lack of exports. What industry is there is devoted to the survival of the native Codru-Ji and the Wyrwulves. Van-Derveld - Rhen Var

Rhen Var has a frozen surface, somewhat more mountainous to that of Hoth, but is still covered with snow and ice. Ancient Jedi monuments are buried beneath the surface of Rhen Var. Rhen Var was once a fertile paradise filled with vegetation and wild life. Millions of years ago, an atmospheric cataclysm turned it into an icy hibernal surface.

After The Great Sith War (4,000 BBY), Ulic Qel-Droma sought refuge on Rhen Var, and he is buried there. Along with the tomb of Qel-Droma, there are great chambers of ancient texts, some that pre-date the Old Republic and the Jedi Order. In one or more of these chambers is believed to be a superweapon built by an ancient race. The weapon is rumoured to have the power to wipe out all life in the galaxy and wash it clean.

Su’beate - Hoth

Hoth, seen in Episode V, is the sixth planet of a remote system. It is a world covered in snow and ice, with numerous moons, and pelted by meteorites from a nearby asteroid belt. Native creatures include the wampa and the tauntaun. Denkinger - Vendaxa

Vendaxa is the homeworld of the Acklay. The planet Vendaxa has one of the densest ecosystems in the galaxy. After the Mandalorian Wars, the Czerka Corporation made many outposts on the surface, built to capture the abundance of exotic creatures that roam its surface. The outposts sold them to wealthy beast collectors and as arena beasts on more barbaric worlds. The Acklay hunt leathery-shelled lemnia on the plains of Vendaxa, using their sharp claws to pierce the shells to gnaw out the fleshy interior. Vendaxa is home to many other nightmarish predators, and became of interest to organisations wishing to deal with the Confederacy on Geonosis, knowing how prized beasts such as the vicious acklay were in the Geonosian Arena. The sun of Vendaxa bathes the planet in a harsh light, causing most life there to evolve small, dark eyes.

Palenke - Lorrd

Lorrd is a planet in the Kanz Sector of the Outer Rim. It is well-known for its 400 year history of slavery by a neighboring planet, the highly-developed body language of its inhabitants, and its universities. Kroenen - Sacorria

Sacorria is a planet in the Sacorrian System, located on the fringe of the Corellian Sector. The planet is a peaceful one, yet is secretive. It is ruled by the Triad, a council of three members: a human, a Selonian, and a Drall. Sacorria has one moon, Sarcophagus, where the dead are buried. Tendra Risant, one of Lando Calrissian's suitors, is a native of Sacorria.

Losstarot Lesser Houses

Kursk - Langoria

Langoria was once home to a thriving alien civilization thought to date back to the glory days of the Jedi, though there is no evidence that this civilization had any contact with Coruscant or the worlds of the Old Republic. What became of this alien civilization is unknown, but all that remains of it are magnificent ruins scattered across the globe, mostly reclaimed by the encroaching wilderness. This alien civilization made use of a strange technology beyond the comprehension of modern science, and though it seems that they did not venture beyond their own planet to explore elsewhere in the galaxy, they were able to accomplish marvelous feats of engineering—carving mountains into the likeness of their leaders or gods, and even somehow altering weather patterns to their liking. It is hypothesized that they abused these abilities, altering their homeworld to such a degree that it was no longer habitable for them.

Kasch - Rattatak

A craggy red world, Rattatak was located so far out in the Outer Rim that the Republic had no knowledge of it. As a result, it was a lawless world ruled by brutal warlords who constantly battle for domination.

Seigresche - Zolan

Zolan is the homeworld of the Clawdites. This half-land, half-water planet gets thunderstorms approximately eighty-five percent of the time. The Clawdites sell off rare minerals found on their planet.

Aulflendte - Bal'demnic

A planet of stark and rugged beauty, Bal'demnic is located in the Auril sector of the Outer Rim, in the Bak'rofsen system. With its sea-covered surface speckled with small tropical beach islands, it could have been the most desired tourist location in the galaxy. However, a tourist trade can hardly co-exist with a native noisome reptilian species known as the Kon'me. The sentient Kon'me lived in simple thatch beachside dwellings, though the upper classes built glistening bubble-like structures within the ocean-side cliffs.

Tene’schonne - Cadomai

Cadomai is a frigid world, largely covered by sparse tundra. The planet is home to the Snivvians.

Wulfgein - Myrkr

Note: Even though it had been decided that House Losstarot would inhabit Myrkr, at the last minute Wulfgein and Losstarot switched worlds in an attempt to hide the Vials. It was a spur of the moment decision that no one but the Elders of House Losstarot and House Wulfgein knew of.

Myrkr is a largely forested world, home to the Ysalamiri, creatures which create bubbles which push back the Force. This ability has evolved to protect them from pack animals called Vornskrs, the only known animals that hunt exclusively by sensing the Force.

Aram - Shola

Shola is a volcanic planet, located in the Outer Rim, with a topography similar to that of Mustafar. Although largely unexplored, Deep scans of the planet have revealed mining tunnel systems that lead almost to the planet's core and give rise to the theory that alien species that once existed here may have destroyed themselves in a massive cataclysm that left the planet in its current state.

Emerick - Kohlma

Kohlma is a small moon orbiting Bogden. After a catastrophic war that happened untold years in the past the moon became a burial site for the victims of the war. Across the moons jagged surface are a large number of shrines and tombs. The moon itself is almost always covered with thick clouds, heavy rain, and dense fog. It is also the the(former) home of the vicious and death obssessed cult known as the Bando Gora. It is (was) an ideal home for such an insidious cult. It is on this moon where Count Dooku (under the name Darth Tyranus) recruited Jango Fett to become the republic armies cloning subject.

Merris - Yinchorr

Yinchorr is an ancient and remote world strewn with ruins from the species that used to live there, before they were slain.

Inrugeil - Gerona

Gerona is a planet in the Elrood system. It looks like a blue world with rings around it. Its population is mostly human with Twi'leks, Duros, Sullustans and Koboks also representing it. The terrain of the planet is rainforests, urban areas, deserts, grasslands, and seas. Although it was a republic planet, near the end of the Jedi Civil War, the Sith occupation was strong in many of the settlements. Most believe this is because a number of the cities were owned by the Czerka Corporation, and both factions had good relations with the other, especially involving trade.

*The description of these planets were taken from Wikipedia, with the exception of the Cathar entry which I added to.
