NARDORIA

Nardoria is the home world and core world of Sector 21, otherwise known as Oversector 3 Outer as well as the base of operations for Vox's Imperial Remnant forces after the fall of the Empire. The planet maintained heavy ground to air defense weapons and planetary shields before the fall of the Empire, but post fall the planetary defense began to dwindle. It was considered the Sectors capital planet, and was sistered by the planets of Neltharion, Sarkareth and Viridia.

The planet itself was orbited by 3 moons and an asteroid belt named Strix Prime, N-1, N-2 and N-3. N-2 was obliterated by the SSD Envoy during a section scan locating a Republic holdout and surveillance facility on the moons surface. Large debree pieces fell to Nardorias surface, heavily damaging City 1, including the Imperial Citadel, obliterating its galactic sector scanner and transmission dish, situated on the roof, and Moff Vox's Palace. This resulted in a detachment of the 111th being permanently stationed in low orbit above City 1, acting as a galactic relay and the sole contact with the outside galaxy, and thus allowing all transmissions subject to Imperial scrutiny.

The planet maintained 4 massive super cities as well as a number of outposts, City 1 which was the capital city, City 2 located in the icy lower portion of the planet, City 3 - a abandoned inhabitable wasteland of a city that was never completed, and City 4 - the second largest city and the sole city to attempt a coup against the Capitol. The planet maintained 122 massive subterranean shelters, known as Vaults, constructed in the early Imperial era as a way of safeguarding Nardorian citizens, however; a large majority were operated by the Imperial Advanced Weapons Research division, and were designed around the experimentation and utilization of civilians as test subjects, the project was nicknamed the NSPP or Nardorian Societal Preservation Program, led by Director Otaku and funded by Moff Yates and Supreme Grand Moff Vox.

During the fall of the Empire in early 5 ABY before the battle of Jakku, City 4 - the third largest city on the planet housing almost 800 million citizens which was designed to accommodate non Nardorian species, as well as serving the main industrial and logistics hub for the planet, located on the far side found out about the Emperors death and attempted to stage an uprising, a detachment of the 111th was assigned to deal with the threat and ultimately failed, which led Vox to gas the entire section of the planet, telling the citizens it was a severe mining disaster, necessitating the use of a city wide shield over the primary city to "protect against deadly planetary fumes" This resulted in the entirety of Sector 8, and City 4 becoming an uninhabitable wasteland which was incredibly toxic and difficult to traverse. Post gassing, it is rumored that less than 200,000 survived by seeking shelter in the enormous underground Vaults, given that there were 10 Vaults in City 4, each with a capacity of 20,000. Several missions were led not only by 111th Imperial Forces to locate and access these Vaults, but also Republic strike teams.

This was purely a stage to wall off the capital city (City 1) from the rest of the galaxy, which was done so successfully, within the next year a full-scale city-wide wall and city scale dome was constructed. Vox's Imperial Remnant would successfully hide the true status of the Empire and the outside galaxy until Vox's return in 29ABY.

11ABY proved itself as the staging ground for the Twenty First Sector War, and the First Battle of Nardoria. Many ships were annihilated during the battle, including the second Envoy Class Dreadnought, the Vicegerent. A large Sector Force of Republic troops was able to take a strong foothold on Nardoria's surface, embedding deep within the abandoned mega structures of City 4. Imperial command forces deemed the situation too severe and given the possibility the Vaults present in the city may have been found by the Republic troopers, who might now be using them as fortification, high command issued a new objective to stop the spread of further Republic contamination, and ordered the entirety of Sector 6, and City 4 to be subject to Base Delta Zero Protocol. Commodore Vex issued the order, who received major backlash from the Military, and Grand General Avrix when he found out in 18ABY, due to the large number of Imperial forces within City 4 at the time of bombardment commencing, he was heavily criticized for not allowing more time for friendly forces to extract.

"Vox? Governor Vox? She's the sector moff? She used to command the 111th mobile assault fleet. Stay sharp, men; this will be no ordinary fleet engagement." -General Gomez

The Second Battle of Nardoria launched in 35ABY, against the remaining portion of the 111th Fleet, which would result in the SSD Envoy, and the majority of the remaining fleet being destroyed. A few ships would escape as Nardoria fell to Republic control under the command of the ISD Nardoria, under command of Admiral Legasov, who have never been heard from since.

Chief Marshal Cisco, after the death of Vox, would retire from New Republic service after being disillusioned of its regime. Cisco and his and Vox's son, Latta; would end up becoming the 2nd, and 3rd Regional Governors of Nardoria, and Oversector 3 Outer, denoting its territory as neutral space. As time went on, the regions Imperial heritage would be forgotten fast, with the only predominant reminder of their history being Vox's Officer Uniform being stored in the cities museum, and the statue of Vox in the central plaza.
