Velusia
this planet, the second world in the Velus System, was located in the Core Worlds. An oceanic world, Velusia was orbited by a pair of moons. The average day on Velusia lasted 22 standard hours, while its year encompassed 325 local days. Because of the planet's oceanic nature and the frequent seismic activity that altered its minimal landmass, Velusia was often overlooked by spacegoing travelers. The planet was first colonized several millennia before the Battle of Yavin by a group of human explorers. Over the intervening millennia, these humans evolved into the aquatic race known as the Aquar. During the last decades of the Old Republic, Velusia was controlled by the Nexcore Mining Corporation, which tried to strip the oceans of their mineral content. There plans were uncovered, and NMC spent the next decades simply exploring the ocean.
