Article Theme/Topic: Planet Csilla

General Information Body Paragraph:

The planet of Csilla lies within the Unknown Regions and is part of a system, which is named after it, called Csilla as well. The specific coordinates of the planet is F-8 using the Standard Galactic Grid and it orbits a star of the same name again. The frigid world is orbited by a total of three celestial bodies, in other words three moons. According to the Galactic Standard Time, a day on Csilla lasted just around 25 hours and a year would stretch up to 462 native days. It is the homeworld of the little-known blue-skinned Chiss, who also possess fiery red eyes. Much like Ilum, Csilla is also covered in thick ice and its temperatures are beyond freezing. It was the capital of the Chiss Ascendancy and also had its own capital city, Csaplar. Most of the city’s structure was located underground and one of very few populated regions above, was the spaceport of the city. 

History/Background Body Paragraph:

Csilla actually hadn’t always been an ice planet. Once the surface of the world was in fact habitable and bustling with life. It wasn’t until an assault on Csilla changed the way of life forever. The year was around 4300 Before the Battle of Yavin. The Chiss Ascendancy were at war with conquerors of the Unknown Regions. They relentlessly annihilated worlds upon worlds to subdue and one day rule the entirety of the Unknown Regions. The Chiss had been forced back to their homeworld Csilla, where the Final Assault on Csilla would occur. The ruling families had no other option but to use an ancient superweapon referred to as the “Starflash”. It operated by firing a powerful blast at a chosen star, which would then trigger another laser much more destructive to shoot back at the weapon, ultimately destroying itself, its crew and all ships within range.Members of the Mitth House volunteered to steer the weapon into position and finally to fire it, knowing it would be suicide. The enemy armada would be obliterated, but so did the only four sons of the Mitth Family. Nonetheless, the Chiss were victorious. For their heroic action that day, the Mitths were granted the position of one of the Nine Ruling Families and became the eighth.But not all went well afterwards, as their sun’s core had been damaged by the weapon, causing the temperatures to drop significantly. That is how Csilla entered its indefinite ice age. Most of the four billion residents moved to neighbouring planets such as Rentor, Sarvchi and Avidich. A few million Chiss still remained on Csilla even after its drastic change in climate, but since the surface became uninhabitable, they were forced to move underground, as mentioned before. The Chiss were actually pretty much completely unknown to the Galactic Empire at the time of the Galactic Civil War and obviously since they hadn’t been discovered yet, the world of Csilla hadn’t been either. It was an imperial group of scouts commanded by the imperial Captain, Voss Parck, where they discovered Thrawn. This led to the Chiss being revealed to the outside world and subsequently their planet of origin. 

Additional Information Body Paragraph: 

During the Clone Wars Era, there were barely any of the former billions residing on Csilla. It was approximated to still possess a population of seventy to eighty million, although the official documents stated otherwise, which was almost eight billion. To create an illusion of actually billions of Chiss living there, various residents of the underground world were chosen to spend a certain amount of time above the ground. This made it seem that Csilla was truly inhabited by so many Chiss, just as they claimed.
