The infamous spice world Sevarcos orbits the orange star Lumea in the Sevarcos system.

Sevarcos System
This system contains the orange star Lumea twelve planets, including the planet Secarcos.
Lumea
The orange star orbited by twelve planets in the Sevarcos system.
Sevarcos
The infamous spice world Sevarcos orbits the orange star Lumea in the Sevarcos system, which
consists of four solid planets and eight gas giants. Sevarcos is the second planet in the system,
and the only one capable of supporting life. Due to the profitable spice extracted from Sevarcos'
Imperial mines, the Empire maintains a permanent customs blockade of the entire system. A huge
asteroid field drifting between the sixth and seventh planets houses the elite "Fate's Judges" TIE
Interceptor squadron, which attacks any smuggler foolish enough to run the blockade. Sevarcos,
brown and amber colored from space, is a dry, windswept world plagued by frequent
sandstorms. Mountains make up most of the northern hemisphere, while vast deserts cover the
south. Sevarcos' two types of spice-- the common white andris and the rare black carsunum--
are primarily mined in the equatorial region, where the mines double as brutal Imperial prisons.
The Empire's forces are overseen by Imperial Planetary Commandant Velpar Raftin. Animal life
on Sevarcos includes the spice eel, which burrows through rock and can reach lengths of up to
thirty meters.
Sevarcos has an original human population known as the Sevari, believed to be the descendants
of settlers from the early Old Republic colony ship Sevari Cabal. The Sevari eventually formed
clans headed by Spice Lords to oversee the spice trade, though total control of that industry is
currently held by the Empire. Unprotected visitors to Sevarcos can suffer side-effects from
inhaling the trace amounts of spice found in the atmosphere, but native Sevari (accustomed to the
constant spice) often slip into a coma-like "spice narcosis" when breathing the pure air of other
worlds. Most of the planet's one million Sevari shun advanced technology, and use archaic wind
riders for transportation and projectile flashpistols for defense. The most powerful Spice Lords
are Lord Quintas of the Southern Deserts, Lady Trevael of the Northern Frontier, and Lord
Cassius Nolath Rha, ruler of the profitable Equatorial Belt.
