Abaaru

Abaaru is a planet in the Milky Way that is home to the sentient Elbaari species, it orbits two orange-yellow stars named Eelaa and Buraan and is close to Shralatarian Territories on the lower region of the Cygnus Arm.

Discription
Abaaru has lower gravity than Earth and is slightly smaller, having a relatively low density, causing the Elbaari to evolve to be lanky and tall. Abaaru is noted for its plains of golden raiaa grass and deserts of orange sand making the planet look a mottle of orange and yellow from orbit with no distinction between grassland and desert, save from the Great Abaaru Lakesea, a large body of water around which most of its major cities and farming lands have been built. These cities and towns are collectively known as the Lakesea Conurb. Abaaru has reddish dust in it's upper atmosphere giving the skies a golden orange tint and making sunsets spectacularly crimson.

Other smaller towns and villages are built out in the deserts and plains but many smaller settlements have not changed for centuries. It has a single tiny moon named Ruu that is partly covered by a large spaceport and the planet has 27 hours in one day.

Government
The native Elbaari possess a democratic electoral government which covers Unified Abaaru, known to Elbaari as 'The UA ' and 15 colonies, several of which are on other planets the Eelaa-Buraan System which are together known as the Jaanu Commonwealth. The term 'Jaanu' is thought to be a derivative of "Jaanari" another ancient name for the Elbaari and their society. "Jaanari" is in that instance to mean being quintessentially Elbaari. They are part of the Galactic Confederacy and joined in Earth year 2782 and also have a trade alliance with the Shralatarian Federate, despite being on somewhat bad terms with them at the moment.
