Jeremiah is a preindustrial, moderate population world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.
- As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- This is a hot world, with a climate of high temperatures.
- It is a member of the Corellan League in the Freya Subsector of Beyond Sector.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]
Jeremiah has a single supercontinent, the interior desert. In some regions, sandstorms can make the air unbreathable for days at a time.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
This world hosts one of the principal research centers of the corporation, Delta Research, including the famous LHeP(Or) Colony which engages in groundbreaking organic computing technology research. [2] [3]
The Jerimiahan Revelationist Congregation, which emphasized large families and curt speech, moved to Garr and in time became the largest and most powerful demographic there.
World Starport[edit]
Jeremiah has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
World Government (G)[edit]
Jeremiah is governed by a Religious Dictatorship. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy). There is a powerful independent organization, the state religion, which has influence or direct control of the government. Like the bureaucratic governments this may simply be a strong influence with a secular government, have direct influence by controlling who may be in the leadership, or be a direct theocracy where the church leadership and bureaucracy is the government.
As a full member of the Corellan League, it sends two representatives to the League Assembly, which convenes aboard the Capital Orbital habitat, a station in geosynchronous orbit above Corella.
Military[edit]
Jeremiah produces, under licence from Valhalla, Acrux-class heavy cruisers.
Urbanization[edit]
Most residents live in low-density cities sheltered in river valleys away from the sandstorms or the coastal weather.
