Ord Mantell, located into the Bright Jewel system of the Bright Jewel sector in the Mid Rim Territories and is also located near Anobis and was originally settled by the Galactic Republic circa 12,000 BBY as an Ordnance/Regional Depot.
Primarily known as a former industrial world, where large portions of the planet's surface was covered in immense junkyard fields, which served as the perfect lawless haven for many smugglers, mercenaries and bounty hunters of all stripes. Although a dangerous place, its strategic location on the Celanon Spur between the Expansion Region and the Outer Rim Territories gradually made the planet as the leading commercial hub not only of the Bright Jewel sector, but of the Dohu sector and Qiilura sector as well.
Known as the "Heart of the Bright Jewel", since it orbited the star Bright Jewel at the center of the Bright Jewel system. Two large moons and thirteen other satellites orbited the planet, to which was added the Jubilee Wheel.Over seventy percent of Ord Mantell's surface is covered with pink clouds. The cloud cover tinged with pink when viewed from the planet's surface. This collection of natural wonders made Ord Mantell something of a tourist attraction, despite its seedier side. It is also the homeworld of the Mantellian Savrips and Mantellian flutterplumes, whose sentience is largely unnoticed or ignored.
Ord Mantell's population isnclustered in the low mesas and flat plains of the arid equatorial region. Coastal cities, including the capital Worlport, are known for their casinos and touristic attractions. Many spacers regarded that part of Ord Mantell as a safe port, and it attracted almost one billion tourists annually. Other metropolitan areas lacked address markings and are considered not intended for outsiders.
The thinking behind this was that if you don't know where you're going, then you don't belong here. Thrill-seekers often visited the planet to participate in savrip-tracking expeditions. The Mantellian savrip could pose as a formidable opponent for even the most seasoned of hunters in Ord Mantell's wildlife.
Ord Mantell, considered to be in the middle of nowhere but, at the same time, it was located close to some major hyperspace trade routes, making it a thriving port. Futhermore, the planet is known for having clement banking laws and anyone could get a bank account easily. Combination of these factors made the planet very popular among criminal organizations. The planet is famous for its thick, outer cometary cloud, which glowed with a pinkish cast when viewed from space, ensuring its place as the site of the Blockade Runners Derby for nearly a hundred years.
