CoG2 is an old, tired world spinning far out from the galactic center.  Its system is the intersection of several small trade routes so traders often visit but rarely stay in system longer than it takes to refuel and move on.

It has seen the rise and collapse of three human empires for sure, and possibly an alien one as well.  The current human empire ignores it for the most part, though there is an Imperial presence on planet by way of not one but two Imperial cities.

The two cities are located on different continents.  Druk is the typical starport central government center located on Sunpillar, but the other, located on Remnant, is reported to be a research university campus attached to a mid-sized Colonial city called Cintamani.  As usual, the focus of that Imperial research is not public knowledge, though it is believed to be the study of either the desert or  even alien ruins if you believe persistent rumors.
