Description

The capital of the Glee-Namadii Star Collective, a loose Nautolan-led federation of worlds and corporate interests, Glee Anselm is an ocean world home to two native species. The dominant Nautolans have spread far and wide throughout the galaxy, becoming one of the most populous sentient species in known space. The Anselmi remain less numerous and more insular, often treated by outsiders as an afterthought despite their deep cultural roots and long memory of the planet's older ways.


The surface is largely water, swampland, and tidal marsh, with only scattered landmasses rising above the seas. Rapid seasonal shifts and volatile ocean currents create frequent and destructive storms, some of which develop into cyclonic events that can scour coastlines and drown low-lying settlements in hours. The climate remains moderate across much of the standard year, but increasing industrialisation and offworld investment has strained the planet's fragile coastal ecosystems, especially around the major ports and shipyards that feed the Collective's regional influence.

History

The Second Outer Rim Conflict (1,189 ABY - 1,195 ABY)

When the Second Outer Rim Conflict began in 1,189 ABY, Glee Anselm and its affiliated Collective were slow to declare for either side. Nautolans were found among both Republic and Alliance populations, and the High Council's first priority was to protect Nautolan trade autonomy against the expanding influence of GalactaWerks and its affiliates. The Collective initially claimed neutrality, maintaining commerce where it could and avoiding direct commitments, even as its supplies and shipping capacity became increasingly valuable to the Outer Rim Alliance war effort.


This posture did not hold. As the Republic grew frustrated by Glee Anselm's reluctance to align with its policy and as GalactaWerks viewed the Collective as a competitor to be brought to heel, sanctions and financial pressure were applied. The coercion backfired. Fearing GalactaWerks dominance and finding a grim kinship with worlds resisting corporate entrenchment, the Collective formally broke with the Republic. The result was the series of uprisings later called the Glee Anselm Revolts, spanning 1,190 ABY to 1,194 ABY.


During the Revolts, Glee Anselm and the wider Collective provided manpower, naval auxiliaries, and logistical support to Alliance-aligned forces. In return, they paid in blood. The planet itself was alternately occupied and liberated as Republic and GalactaWerks-backed task forces attempted to secure ports, disrupt shipbuilding, and decapitate the High Council's authority. Coastal cities suffered repeated bombardment and flooding as infrastructure failed under wartime strain. By the penultimate year of the war, internal turmoil, mounting casualties, and the sheer weight of sustained pressure forced Glee Anselm to surrender, one year before the wider conflict's formal conclusion.
