Adumar was a temperate planet located near the Coreward edge of Wild Space first settled by Humans in the Ductavis Era. The settlers, who had been exiled from the Republic, lived in isolation for years, and developed into several nations that spread across the world. Their culture became obsessed with the arts of blastsword fighting and starfighter combat, to the point where skilled swordsmen and pilots were highly revered. Their society also made considerable use of formal duels as means for settling disputes or even just for entertainment, and also had a rigid social hierarchy.
