Hello! Jozhaam! I compiled everything before 5 ABY (there's plenty of material for after and during the Yuuzhang Vong wars that's from legends, but I did't include it because Factions isn't set at that time. I could find on everything related to Duros from Wookieepedia, Legends, and even a few games. I also added things that I have also worldbuilt like most of the language, the writing system, and a cuisine. The names are a mixture of pre-existing ones from Wookieepedia and games, and a few names and meanings from my own characters. The history, biology, society, government, and lending tradition elements are entirely from Wookieepedia articles, sw games lore, and legends references that I stiched together.

History - Ilsail

"We have a proud and rich history with many archaeological monuments and treasures from Duro's Golden Age. Nearly every schoolchild on every civilized planet learns about our ancient history—that glorious time when my people were ruled by the great Queen Rana, our wise lawgiver."

“Cem medug spa molguu binsul ilsailail jais homzenaiche muktolguk molguu eilinaiche koollaz Zeisaireihwuhai Durohil oos. Meicisaache neinei zidwempeksai oos zhallumai ruhwonguk neinei tuzhil zidug ilsailail kinir cim tro. Vek kadas zeisail tahmi, ailwar lona cim, Rana Enahil kadas jas, uhail vin sooktuhulso zeisail staik.”

-Dustini Spa Ronii

The Duros originated on the planet Duro long before the dawn of the Galactic Republic. In 100,000 BBY, Duro was surveyed by the Columi, who were not impressed. Later, Duro was conquered by the Rakata of the Infinite Empire and the native Duros were enslaved. Duros slaves were used to create the Star Forge in 30,000 BBY. However, they tolerated their cruel overlords, since it was an occasion for the ever-curious Duros to learn about their inter-stellar technology.

Following a plague in 25,200 BBY that killed only Rakata, the Duros rebelled and overthrew their Rakatan masters. The Duros then formed a hereditary monarchy. It was based at Ranadaast, a city named after Queen Rana Mas Trehalt (Rana Mas Trehalt Ena), which fell into disrepair and was infested by criminals when the monarchy fell into decline. The monarchy declined due to the rise of corruption, and control by a merchant council. Several years after the fall of the monarchy, Duro became a member world of the Herglic Trade Empire, the most powerful government in the Core Worlds region at the time. After the fall of the Empire, they quickly reverse-engineered the engines left by the Rakata, and thus invented the hyperspace cannon independently of the Corellians.

At an early age, the Duros became interested in exploration and ventured off their homeworld to explore the galaxy and their interstellar technology linked Duro with Coruscant (Korusam), Corellia (Korrol), and other Core Worlds; with the Corellians they built the first arm of the Corellian Trade Spine and with the invention of the hyperdrive, the planet entered a Golden Age as a Core Founder in 25,053 BBY under Queen Rana Mas Trehalt. She ushered her people into a cultural golden age by encouraging the exploration of various arts and sciences, particularly interstellar flight] Her scientists made profound breakthroughs in this field and within decades they had established orbital space stations over Duro. Around 25,000 BBY, the development of the modern hyperdrive led to a wave of Duros colonization under Rana's blessing. The Duros made first contact with many species, including Humans. Rana befriended a Corellian princess and received a ring from her as a gift. Rana was also one of the founding members of the Galactic Republic in 25,053 BBY. After she died at the advanced age of two hundred, she was succeeded by her son, Dassid Trehalt Renek, who continued his mother's policies of offworld exploration, expansion, and diplomacy. After his death, his crown was implanted with a murderous device, capable of killing any and all grave robbers.

The Duros also constructed large shipyards and spacedocks in their planet's orbit. The monarchy was eventually abolished in favor of a collection of ruling corporations.

The Duros colonized Neimoidia in 25,000 BBY during their earliest wave of expansion, though the Neimoidians were considered a separate culture by 15,000 BBY. The Duros also discovered Sneeve (Sniiv) in the Kymoodon Era, Adner in 5000 BBY, and Koboth (Kovos) prior to 219 BBY.

In 3962 BBY, the planet itself was laid to near-total waste during the Mandalorian Wars, when the Mandalorian invasion fleet advancing on the Colonies and Core regions destroyed much of the world using thousands of Basilisk war droids. Years of misery and rebuilding were ahead of the Duros people, merely the latest phase in the long series of Old Sith Wars. During the New Sith Wars, the Duros colony on Harpori was wiped out by Kaox Krul 1002 BBY.

In 220 BBY, during Duro's Industrial Age, the mining city of Tayana (Teihana) reached its height. In 200 BBY, the Tiercam Dam was built. The Duros also set up large food processing plants that polluted Duro's atmosphere, forcing them to relocate to 20 orbiting cities throughout their home system. During this time, the Duros households began to move to the residential space stations (ruhwompeks-zhabaaza) up in orbit. The surfaces were slowly being taken over by the automated farms. The farms generate food so efficiently that foodstuffs are slowly gaining more importance as an export.

In 20 BBY, during the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems (Rabuz heisomojukaguk) launched Operation Durge's Lance, a coordinated major campaign that led to the capture of Duro. During the Battle of Duro in 21 BBY, it was one of the first targets captured by the Confederate Navy. It was made the headquarters for General Grievous, and its capture allowed the Separatists to lower Duro's planetary shield, thus facilitating the planet's surrender within the week. The swift success of the campaign sent shockwaves throughout the Galactic Republic, and even neutral Corellia began to tighten its defenses. The Battle of Duro was one of General Grievous' most impressive military victories, and caused many within the Republic to view him as a greater threat than Count Dooku. Duro would be liberated by the Republic later in the same year.

The battle completely destroyed the already fragile ecosystem of Duro. The orbital bombardment had destroyed the last safeguards against the toxins, waste and air pollutants. It left Duro impossible to live on without protective hazard gear. This forced the remainder of the population of Duro to also move off the surface, to the orbiting cities (ruhwompeks-zhabaaza) of Duro.

After the Clone Wars, the Galactic Empire (Sooktuhulod-cudwos muuzhilaz) collected what was left of Duro's natural resources, and forced many Duros to move off the planet. Many Duros would become fugitives from their homeworld, and many joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic (Rabuz tramadaz). In an attempt to stir up conflict between Duro and Corellia, the Empire declared Duro to be part of the Corellian sector. The Duros only found this mildly annoying.

With the Trade Federation (Rabuz beikwo) nationalized by the Empire, the disgraced Neimoidians began to reintegrate themselves into mainstream Duros culture. At some point, Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Starkiller, was sent to Duro to dispose of a local despot who had grown too over-ambitious. While the precise details of the incident are unclear, All-Terrain Scout Transports were used against the darksider, earning his unending hatred of the walkers.

The 40 km long space city Pellezara (Pellezara ruhwompeks zhabaaz), located near the planet in the Duro system, served as a maintenance stop over for freighters en route to Duro.

The Lost King of Duro (Renek nozha Durohool oos) was a Duros king named Archregent Vardovin IV whose mummified hand was displayed in Dryden Vos' study onboard his yacht, the First Light in 10 BBY. On each of the fingers of the hand were ring lockets that held preserved cell samples of the royal bloodline dating back to Queen Rana.

In 1 BBY, the Rebels tried to free the planet but they were defeated at the Battle of Vnas (Kektaim Venasool oos). Although the New Republic managed to save Duros archaeologists from the Valley of Royalty, the Valley itself was flooded with toxic waste when the Tiercam Dam burst.

The New Republic (Sooktuhulod stadaks zeisojos) eventually liberated the planet, and put the system back in the Duro Sector.

Duro Biology - Lahaaks duro

Duros are humanoids with smooth blue-green skin, red to yellow eyes, lipless mouths, long thin noseless faces and green blood. Olfactory organs beneath their eyes were responsible for their sense of smell. Both females and males were bald, though both sexes were easily distinguished. Their large red goggle-like eyes also had slit pupils. Duros females laid eggs as they were descended from ancient reptiles, and like the Neimoidians, they were born in a larval grub stage, but unlike their cousins who left the raising of their young mainly to the state, the Duros took care of their offspring from birth.

When the Duros experienced high amounts of strain, a kind of oil—which had a highly irritating smell and bad taste—gathered in the sacs called gaarocu along their ribs. This was an evolutionary throwback and defense mechanism, remaining from when the Duros were liable to be eaten by a number of entities roaming Duro.

Some female Durese would attach ponytails made from braided jemsai hair to the back of their heads.

Culture - Kadokizonaz

"Let us become spears."

“Cem kadai shrivo.”

―A ritual phrase of the Duros people

Society - Ruhwon

While usually taciturn, Duros enjoyed telling stories about their travels. It was said Duros had a photographic memory when it came to the telling of tales and stories. Many Duros were pilots and explorers, and were adventurous, though sometimes rash. As one of the first cultures to develop hyperdrive spacecraft (some even believe the first), Duros-charted trade routes were among the oldest hyperspace routes still in use during the Imperial era. The name Duro comes from a root stem dealing with travel. Even in the later periods of galactic history, Duros were still known for their superior astro-navigational skills. Their affinity for traveling led many Duros to prefer the honorific title of "Traveler/Wanderer" (stezhu) despite their occupation or craft of choice, and addressing them as such was considered good etiquette. The average Duro was adventurous, gregarious and peaceful. The Duro Academy graduates are also among the galaxy's top navigators, and it is common to find Duros being employed as master navigators for large shipping fleets.

The Duros were also one of the founding races of the Galactic Republic (Sooktuhulod-stadaks muuzhilaz). Years before the formation of the Republic, the Duros colonized the planet Neimoidia (Nemeidu) in 25,000 BBY, giving rise to the genetically distinct Neimoidians. After a young Duros was born, they were cared for and raised by their family (kicon).

Because so many Duros have been displaced due to pollution, war, colonization, and wandering, there is a large Durese diaspora called the kelben.

Durese mating rituals involve scratching various objects, learning about their partner’s interests, exploring new, exciting locations and experiences on dates.

Government - Sooktuhulod

Originally, Duros had a hereditary monarchy from the line of Queen Rana. Once the monarchy was abolished, Duros governed by the Duros High House (Kasstoos durohaiche oos), which originated in the merchant’s council (Trugudail Beikuhil). The council nearly ruined the planet before being dramatically reformed.

The government on Duro permeates every aspect of the lives of its citizen-employees, and those citizens who remain on Duro are almost guaranteed to work for some branch of the Starship manufacturing business. Duro's corporate government controls the planet's Starship manufacturing facilities, as well as almost every other industrial site on the world. Only those that own stock in Duro's corporate government can participate in lawmaking and world politics.

The Duros define an eligible voter as a holder of stock (bullacegwa) in one of the many Duro corporations, of which Duro Delta Twelve (Deltachakeltturo - DChD) being the largest. Each share of stock represents one vote, so the small number of the majority owners of the companies is among the most influential politically. CorDuro Shipping is an example of another major corporation important in the politics of Dur, based in the Corellian and Duro sectors. It is an interplanetary transportation corporation that was more recently formed, but with the founder and CEO's good direction, it has become one of the premier companies in the transportation industry for the Core. Financial analysts often say that this Duggan Station-based company is likely to be a major driving force in shaping the industry across the entire galaxy in the future.

Electrical Power is distributed by DurAble (Cov duro).

Duros Lending Tradition - Tuuroddaicaguk duro

It is the collective name for the local customs Duros followed when a Duros lending institution loaned money (taica) to another party so that this party could buy an item, for example a starship. The debt then could be paid in pre-set units according to a schedule, or as a one-time payment of money with an interest of one-tenth of the original value. The lending traditions strictly forbid any debt restructuring. Following the tradition, the loan applies to the bought goods, not to the party asking for it. Should this person sell the goods to a different individual, then the new owner would be also buying the remainder of the debt — something that the seller could say to the buyer if an honest deal was made. Should the original debtor die before the payment was ended, then the debtor's inheritors would inherit both the goods and the remainder of the debt; if there were no inheritors, the goods might be sold. Notice that the lending institution could not requise the goods in this case because it did not have any claim to the goods, only to the profits made from the goods. If and only if the debt cannot be filled, then the lending institution can and should both requise the bought goods and revoke all the credit to the debtor. This would suppose a severe social stigma in the Duros society.

Cuisine - Ihwuda molguu Zhonaa

Durese cuisine consists of both homemade traditional dishes along with mass produced foods that have become more common on Duro since the planet has been polluted. Initially born from a hunting culture that evolved to protect themselves from the dangerous critters, Duros quickly adapted to agriculture. They made use of automated farms, which were so efficient that foodstuffs are slowly gaining more importance as an export. Now, they mostly have to import food or grow it in the orbital cities. They take great care to preserve ancient traditional ingredients and flora aboard their domed orbital cities as a connection to the world they once loved.

The traditional cuisine is more preserved among the kelben than on Duro, though Duros on Duro will eat more traditional foods on government holidays. Duros traditionally eat one meal in the morning and one in the evening. Hosting culture is very important with the host/hostess (treta) cooking the food and providing drinks. Generally the meal is structured with a drink, generally Leivaks served first along with an appetizer platter (Zhan ihwucuudwezool koollaz), and then the main course (Ihwudailstoos). During the main course, the guests are served water (sodwas). Following the main course, was the final course (Ihwudailmem) consisting of desserts, alcohol (jiidwas), or dessert drinks, like Saichom, are served. During this last course, the host/hostess provides entertainment such as stories, songs, or dances. Duros generally eat out of large oval metal plates with upturned rims (zhan). Before eating, they are either covered in a thin, pliable flatbread (slarkalloo) or filled with a baked ceke porridge, and the food is placed on top. Because Duros don’t use tables, they generally sit crossed-legged on stools with the plates sitting on their laps.

Meals on the Rapuzhaa are usually served in large chambers with family, friends, or co-workers eating together in a circle. The food is provided by the kitchens, which prepare the ingredients to be cooked in communal pots within the circle. For quicker meals, there are cantinas, which serve ready to eat meals. These rooms are covered with thick mats and each Duro is given a cushion to sit on and the group is provided with plates, cups, and a cooking pot with utensils. It is also common to find instant meals and drinks to-go. Some Duro houses will have small kitchens.

Dool: dipping sauce served in appetizer platters made from puréed lentils (sutaa), minced hollain roots, and jemsai cream. Garnished with chopped chilli pepper.

Idassutaa: soup (idas) made of puréed lentils (sutaa), whole hollain roots, and seasoned with chilli pepper (seida).

Hachoks: meat cooked on a skewer from the Suunbaz worm and seasoned with zhoguum seeds.

Hachoks triltuwil: hunter’s Hachoks, made with Hachoks and a sauce of jemsai cream, purple desert flower, chilli pepper (seida), and hollain roots. It is a common filling in sagwos (sagog: to turn, vos: over) with the addition of either bantha (uhadwadnu) or jemsai cheese (Uhazhemsai).

Jiidwasufum: alcoholic berry juice.

Leivaks: popular Durese drink brewed from warmed water, deigoks powder, and crushed leaves of the zhoguum plant.

Rrihos: sausage made from ground meat, generally Suunbaz worm, bantha, or jemsai, or lentils mixed with crushed seida, hollain root powder, and deigoks powder. Formed into sausage shape and fitted into casings of Suunbaz intestines.

Saaha: curries made from jemsai milk, aiwon paste, deigoks powder, kukta leaves, crushed hollain roots, vaad (berry spice) along with a variety of meats and veggies cooked together in a pot (raabnell). The aiwon paste, minced hollain roots, vaad and deigoks powder is cooked in a pot with Suunbaz worm lard. Then, the jemsai milk is added followed by the meat and vegetables. The kukta leaves are added last as a garnish.

Saalleimazhis: curry (saa) made of cactus and purple desert flower.

Saahachoks: Hachoks curry (saa) with Suunbaz worm meat and seida cooked in the curry.

Saaviriduks: curry made of anything available, named after Durese spacers (viriduks).

Saavadnu: Bantha curry (saa) with cream of womprat.

Saagidniin: curry made with imported Gyndine cheese.

Saajeimsai: jeimsa curry (saa).

Saajad: instant curry, one of the more popular instant meals eaten on the space cities or during space travel.

Saanabuu: curry (saa) made with Gungan shrimp paste instead of aiwon paste.

Sagwos: turnovers that can either be fried in oil or baked in an oven. Traditionally, they were made from a flour made from ground ceke grains, but are often substituted for more available ingredients. Desert Sagwos (Sagwosais) are made with a filling of jemsai cream, vaad, cheese, and deinwo powder

Saichom: warmed hoozhemsai (jemsai milk) or hooswadna (bantha milk) mixed with vaad and deinwo powder.

Slarkazhad: fast rising bread made from ground ceke. Often served with appetizer platters or with fried rrihos, grilled jemsai cheese and seida, and a sauce made from purple desert flowers. A popular variation is Gyndine-style with Gyndine cheese. Ready to-go versions are also common.

They cannot eat potatoes. Eating potatoes causes extreme psychedelic reactions and causes collard lesions.

Durese Language Deltnad duro

Being one of the first species to achieve spaceflight, the Durese language has become a common language along with Basic as the Duros journeyed farther into the universe. In the shipping and business sectors, knowledge of it is a most valuable asset. It is spoken on Duro and also by the Durese diaspora (kelben). Much of the literature that the school children on Coruscant study today is translated from ancient Duros legends.

More about the Durese language can be read in the holobook Durese for Bantha Brains, the Treatise on the Dureese Language, II Edition by Prof. Vaasai Zhoks and Dr. Cad Trokseg, or Advanced Durese, LXXX Edition

Planet - Zhaallum

Duro is one of the core worlds located in the Duro system and has no natural moons. It has twenty orbital cities colloquially called Rapuzha and abbreviated RPZh. It is in the Duro sector. Historically, Duro was a beautiful blue and green world with a temperate jungle environment. It had a large main continent. The native Duros enjoyed their cool and wet planet, as its climate is extremely comfortable for their skin which often becomes overly dry in other atmospheres. Due to extreme pollution, it is unfortunately now a toxic wasteland. It is one an important planet for galactic trade being the beginning of the Duros Run and along the Corellian Trade Spine. It has a rotation period of 33 standard hours and an orbital period of 420 standard days. Traditionally, Duro was ruled by a hereditary monarchy, but now is run by corporations. Voting power is given to shareholders (bullacegwa) of the national corporations, which control all aspects of life on Duro.

Locations

Ranadaast: former capital city of the planet Duro. It was named after Queen Rana Mas Trehalt but came to be known as the City of Ashes or Royal City by offworld Duros. Once a beautiful city, it grew filthy with the industrialization on Duro. Underneath the city were the tombs of many past monarchs.

King Kadlo Tower (Uzeim Kallo Renek oos): tower on Duro named after King Kadlo.

Jevv RPZh: orbital city on Duro.

Tayama (Teihama): meteor crater on Duro. It contained ancient ruins of a former surface city which reached its height in 220 BBY, before the Duros built their space cities.

New Tayama (Teihama Zeisojos): floating city that was located on the planet Duro. At one time, the Duros Cad Bane lived in the city, but he later left to forge a career as a successful bounty hunter. In his absence, Bane's former friend Soopan capitalized upon Bane's notoriety by masquerading as Bane in order to establish himself as a criminal kingpin in the city. During the Clone Wars, Cad Bane returned to New Tayana and confronted his old friend, to warn Soopan off from using his identity.

Orr-Om RPZh: orbital city on Duro.

Valley of Royalty (Amzula dassid): ancient valley on Duro where the Duros buried many of their most celebrated rulers who championed space exploration, including Rana Mas Trehalt. There were many secret catacombs and caves in the Valley, hiding a wealth of both historical information and valuables. The valley was listed as one of the Twenty Wonders of the Galaxy by the historian Vicendi in 10,000 BBY.The Valley was flooded with toxic waste when the Tiercam Dam broke, almost killing several Duros archaeologists.

Pellezara RPZh: was a 40-kilometer long floating space city in the Duro system that serviced the many large freighters. It was owned by the parents of the rebel alliance pilot Tarrin Datch, who often put on flight shows to keep the freighter pilots from boredom.

Gateway Dome: refugee camp

Bburru: It was long considered the capital of Duro after the fall of Ranadaast and it was famous for its magnificent artificial forests. Bburru also contained an arboretum which contained a large tree called the Kaaktom that was native to the surface of Duro but was extinct leaving it the only sample of its kind. The inhabitants of the station were attempting to find a means to clone the tree though they did not succeed in this goal.

Urrdorf RPZh: was the smallest of the twenty orbital cities that orbited Duro. Disc-shaped

Rrudobar RPZh: one of the smaller of the twenty orbital cities of Duro. It contained the Event Horizon cantina (Jinei Stazi).

Event Horizon Cantina: cantina buried deep within the Rrudobar orbital city over the planet Duro, established by Clawfish, a Quarren criminal. It was well-known among smugglers, gunrunners, and outlaw techs working the Corellian Trade Spine as a source of illicit information or a good brawl. The cantina's most distinguishing feature was its dual-environment layout; half was reserved as a typical (if humid) cantina for terrestrial patrons, while the other half contained spas and wading pools for aquatic species. The two halves were divided by the bar, which faced in both directions. There was a concealed escape tunnel leading to the street, which exited from the bar and a false crate in the storage area.

Jeivus RPZH: one of the largest space cities surrounding the planet Duro.

Flora and Fauna

Aiwon: regular sized worm

Cannibal arachnids: immense insectoid species native to Duro that were eventually driven to extinction by that planet's pollution.

Ceke: grain similar to corn

Chidee: was an extinct predator from Duro.

dasil: fern

Eizhal: grass

Ervix (ebriks): was a fierce, but extinct, animal from the planet of Duro.

Fefze: beetle

Hollain: sacred tree

Jemsai: debatably a cousin of the bantha
