        The majority of Kathallan surface has been scarred to an irreversible degree by the long civil war. There are several high sharp rocky mountains protruding over otherwise flat plains. Though most of the forests and jungles originally existing on the planet were herbicided during the war, resulting to vast wastelands, turned into oceans of mud, as the soil no longer is able to soak the rainfall. Mountains are drained of dirt, becoming spikes of naked stone and sharp gorges.

          The Mud Wastes is a large plain in the Northern hemisphere of Kathalla. Though once a large forest, due to the burning of most of it rainwater ended drenching in, creating a vast mud ocean that, after several years the Mud settled
        • Kardia
          
          The "Root of All Evil", Kardia was the City-State that ignited the civil war on Kathalla after the referendum to join the Republic was passed. Kardia was the first of City-States to convert into a fortress-city, and the sole one to possess an Orbital Shipyard, later destroyed during the war. Kardia is renown for its three layers of concrete walls and durasteel reinforcements, with hundreds of turbolaser and particle cannon turrets and mazes of bunkerlines and external trenchlines stretching beyond the city's limits. After the war, Kardia's defensive networks were preserved, though most trenchlines were abandoned, gradually filled up by mud and growing vegitation.
        • Zaruuz
          
          
          
          Being the largest of the Kathallan City-States, Zaruuz was once the capital of the Kathallan Monarchy, and later considered the capital of the planet, hosting the Parliament of Nobles. With heavy industries and millions of people to put in their work force, Zaruuz was one of the main players of the Civil War.

Strengths
- Industrial Centre. The industrial capacity of Kathalla is capable of supporting entire Theatres of War with war supplies.
- Infinite Reservoir of Souls. The high population of Kathalla makes the planet a major point of troop production.
- Hordes of Veterans. With the main industry of Kathalla being the export of troops, the system is defended by a gargantuan number of mainly veteran soldiers.

Weaknesses
- Nonexistent Orbital Defence. Besides Long Range artillery turrets capable of engaging ships within atmosphere, Kathalla and by extension has no void defences to counter an invasion fleet.
- Divided and deprived. The resources of the system have been drained enough during the long civil war on Kathalla, resulting with scarse materials to feed the industry, with the locals relying on extrasolar trade to preserve their production rate.
- Susceptive to Unrest. Kathallan populace once voted for intergration to the Republic. The events following that, leading to the war created unbridgeable hatred between the different City States, with many civilian riots escalating due to the harsh laws and misery that defines Kathalla.

Historical Information
Kathalla is a planet in the center of the Kantiir Sector. Centuries ago, Kathalla became the very peak of a long trade route, leading to the Outer Rims. Without direct affiliation to any major factions, the local City-states ruling over Kathalla found great financial and merchant development for three centuries, due to the fact that Kantiir Sector served as the middle ground, connecting the Outer Rim with the Colonies and the Giju and Alesian trade routes, deeper to the Core.

[The Civil War]

With Kathalla being turned into a battleground, the merchant fleets eventually diverted to the longer routes around the territory, through the hazardous Outer Rim hyperlanes. This resulted with Kathallan City-States gradually descending into an abysmal financial and resource crisis, as any available materiel were driven quickly to the industries that fed the war machine. With little assets to continue the war, and each loss of technology or infrastructure a near-inammendable wound to any of the city-states, technology started backward steps, with more and more primitive machines being used from physical bullet-based ammunition and lead, to tracked tank vehicles.

With not enough resources, yet near-infinite reserves of troops, the city-states dug in and engaged in a bloody trench war that was soon pushed to a stalemate. Regardless any side's efforts to break the deadlock, for a full decade, more and more Kathallan blood was spilled for barely any gains...

In the last years of the conflict, Kardia turned to the undercover Imperial agents, who offered their support, in exchange for fielty. Soon, a new offensive was initiated by Kardia, with the Sith Empire secretly supplying the City-state with military assets as well as personnel. The Galactic Republic was soon to interfeer, when Zaruuz city-state pleaded to the Senate with proof of the Empire's intervention to the otherwise neutral planetary affairs. The Republic provided reinforcements, allowing Zaruuz to hold against Kardia's onslaught. The answer of the Sith to this gesture was bound to be brutal.
A Dread Slayer fleet, allies of the Sith at the time, was assembled and combined with imperial navy ships transporting several hundred Imperial troops and Sith crusaders from Halcyon. The coalition launched several campaigns on Kathalla, always in support of Kardia, while an Imperial embassy was established. When the final onslaught of the Sith was materialized, Darth Ignis led a planet-wide assault against the remaining opposition, cementing the Sith rule over the planet. Kardia became the center of the Imperial-made government after the end of the hostilities, while Zaruuz was forced to surrender to Lord Byaal, after the city's army was destroyed in battle during Lord Byaal's siege that ended with the use of orbiting ship's bombardment agains Zaruuzian positions.
