Nelvaan

Nelvaan is a frozen world of mesas, mountains, rivers, forests and glaciers, home to the native Nelvaanians and to Skakoans. Its economy relies on water.

Nelvaan is a star system in the 25th Anniversary patch 3.0.9770. It takes the slot that the original game gives to Norulac.

History

Nelvaan stayed a fairly remote and secluded planet. Its native Nelvaanians went on rebuilding their tribal society after being freed from the harsh grip of the Techno Union. Since the Galactic Empire concentrated on larger and more strategic objectives, the world was left mostly in peace, and its people kept their traditional lifestyle. Its fame as a source of old lore and understanding of the Force nonetheless brought the occasional visitor hoping to learn its secrets. Despite the war between the Rebel Alliance and the Empire, Nelvaan was largely unaffected and preserved its distinctive culture and heritage.

In the game

In the patch's default ("compatible") galaxy the system keeps its slot's sector and map position. The patch calls its sector the Wild Space sector; the original game calls it the Xappyh sector. The patch also has an optional "accurate" galaxy that changes map positions only.
