2031, Planning
Southwest Territory of the Milky Way Galaxy, Mid Rim, Takodana Planet.
It was a planet with a suitable environment, but due to its remote location, it had not been fully developed during the Galactic Republic era. For a long time afterward, the planet had been occupied by large numbers of smugglers, who had built several settlements there.

It had to be said that agricultural planets with pleasant environments like this were popular destinations for immigrants. Thus, in recent years, Takodana's population had reached around 120 million.

Without question, given Takodana Planet's environmental conditions, its continuous reclamation and development, and the influx of large numbers of immigrants, it fully possessed the conditions to become a Gaia Planet.
But for now, this planet managed by former smugglers and mercenaries remained a
