Sector 15 - 4
The Ringali Nebula takes up most of this Sector.

Ringali Nebula
The Ringali Nebula is a spectacular stretch of violet gasses located within the Ringali Shell, and can be seen in the night sky of
all the Shell's planets.
------------
Perlemian System
The system that the Perlemian Trade Route passes through.
Esseles
The planet Esseles is located in the Darpa sector of the Core Worlds along the Perlemian Trade Route. For years, Esseles
dominated all the other planets within the Darpa sector, but the planet lost territory during the pre-Clone Wars era, and still
more with the rise of the Empire. Esseles is a warm world covered with young mountain ranges, and its 24 billion inhabitants
live in the few scattered valleys and plains. The Esselians are loyal to their homeworld, and prefer to meet their own needs
before those of the Empire; an active New Order party has been trying to force Esseles more fully into the Imperial mold.
Calamar, the planet's capital city, is viewed as a center of high culture with its many parks and museums. New Calamar is
located on the planet's southern continent (which is often called Calamar) and is home to Terril Naval Base. Other cities include
Alabar. Esseles' government is composed of the elected representatives of the Hall and President Cambira Ralle, who are all
overseen by Imperial Governor Griff Takel. President Ralle, a hero who led Esseles through the Clone Wars, is a member of
the Forad political party. After the Battle of Yavin, Ralle was challenged by both the rival Cardean party and the pro-Empire
Esselian New Order (ENO) party, the leader of which asked Ralle to step down voluntarily in favor of the ENO candidate.
The planet is a center for high-tech research and development, including hypernautics and advanced hyperdrive engines. Prior
to the Battle of Yavin, Esseles' economy was hurt by Lord Tion's blockade of the nearby world Ralltiir. This severely harmed
Esseles' alien population, who largely work in the transportation industry. The controversial jatz musician Fitz Roi created a stir
when he appeared on stage dressed as a Jedi Knight during a concert in Calamar, and Roi later declared his intentions to live
on Esseles full-time. Doctor Pippa Rosheed taught at Sperinad University on Esseles between her stints with Fernandin
Scouting Expedition.
Rhinnal
Rhinnal is located in the Darpa sector of the Core Worlds, along the Perlemian Trade Route. The planet has recently emerged
from an ice age, and has a surface covered with fjords, mountains, and frigid rivers. Rhinnal was a colony world of nearby
Esseles until the rise of the Empire, when the Imperials took over direct control from the planet's Esselian governor. Though it is
now ruled by the unobtrusive Imperial Governor Phadreas Kole, many of the planet's major decisions are still made by the
heads of various ethnic clans, traditional groups linked by kinship. The planet's 55 million inhabitants place great value on
ceremonies and commemorations, and often wear elaborate, colorful clothing. Rhinnal has been famous for generations for its
expertise in medicine, and produces the most respected doctors in the galaxy from its training programs. The last remaining Jedi
chapter house in the Core Worlds is located on Rhinnal and still accepts patients, though none of its staff are Jedi. The planet's
capital city is Rhire, which boasts the prestigious state Medical Academy. After the Battle of Yavin, medical experts from
Rhinnal were sent to an orbiting hospital frigate to study the outbreak of Candorian plague on Dentaal.
