The Red Empire Capital Planet of Denon Timeline

0 ABY
While under the control of the 1st Galactic Empire, Denon was a Ecumenopolis, and had a population of 500 Billion encompassing the entire planet.

505 ABY
By the time that Red Empire took over this planet and made it their capital, the planet's population had diminished to a mere 3.8 Billion people. This was mainly due to geographical changes that formed on the planet. In other words, a massive mountain range had formed in the southeastern quadrant of the planet. This mountain range had taken over most of that quadrant of the planet, and it destroyed most of the buildings there. This ultimately led to much of the southern hemisphere becoming deserted. It was known that the mountain range started its quick formation by no later than 350 ABY, since construction on the Solaris Family Palace, as well as a neighboring Mandalorian city of Mispols, began in 420 ABY surrounded by a well formed mountain range that barely changed after construction began. Moreover, it was confirmed that these construction projects began at least several decades after the mountain range began to form. These buildings were built in the Southeastern quadrant of the planet surrounded by mountains on all sides.

527 ABY
By 527 ABY, Denon's population had increased to 250 Billion (plus on average 40 Billion other individuals who either live on another Red Empire planet, or have their secondary home on Denon). By this time, the entire northern hemisphere, as well as most of the southwestern quadrant had therefore reformed back into one giant Ecumenopolis. The southeastern quadrant was the only quadrant not heavily populated due to the mountains. The only exception in the southeastern quadrant was that the Mandalorian city of Mispols had a thriving population of 100 million (of which everyone was Mandalorian).

528 ABY
By 528 ABY, Denon's population had increased to a staggering 400 Billion (plus on average 60 Billion other individuals who either live on another Red Empire planet, or have their secondary home on Denon).


Important Locations on Denon
Capital City:
population = over 399 billion permanent citizens
          - Terix's Royal Sith Palace: the building where many of the Empire's higher ranking officials and Force Sensitive individuals lived, trained, and prepared battle tactics. This building was protected by shields that could only be deactivated by the Sith and their most trusted advisors (including officers).
          - Officer houses: these homes were reserved for officers who are no lower than the rank of colonel, but the homes reserved for naval officers were typically no lower than vice admiral. These mansions surrounded the exterior of the Royal Palace complex and grounds on its left and right sides with a lower rank officer apartment complex. The top ranking officers of the army, the Security Bureau, and the Pilot Squadrons who had their homes on the left side of the officer complex (when facing the palace from the city), while the navy had its high ranking officer homes on the right side of the officer complex (hen facing the palace from the city).

Other Locations

Solaris Family Palace This palace was built in a large valley in the mountains in the southeastern quadrant of the planet, well secluded from the capital city's governmental and military district (which are part of the ecumenopolis. Its construction was ordered and supervised by the infamous bounty hunter Helun Solaris, who lived from 383 ABY - 470 ABY. The palace was built onto the side of a mountain and overlooked the Mandalorian city of Mispols, which had a population of 100 million Mandalorians. Mispols in conjunction with the Solaris Family Palace were surrounded by mountains on all sides. Solaris ordered the construction of her family's palace just eleven years after the Battle of Mandalore (409 ABY), in other words, 420 ABY. Helun Solaris, worked for the Togruta Empire pretty much full time from her defection from the Mandalorian Protectors until her death. She and her husband used this as their retreat home from the Togruta Empire's capital planet of Kiros. Since the surviving members of the Solaris dynasty had been banished from their family's palace by the time that Darth Terix officially revealed the Red Empire to the galaxy in 503 ABY, Terix made an agreement with the Solaris' that he would help them regain their family retreat. After the Battle of Denon in 505 ABY, the Red Empire made Denon their capital planet, and the Solaris' returned to their family palace, and turned it  into their primary residence. However, it still often wound up being used as a retreat home for the family for nights that they did not stay in Terix's Royal Sith Palace.

Bensun Family Palace This palace was built in a remote area of Denon's southeastern mountain range. Barx Bensun and Jennu Callipo-Bensun ordered the construction of this monstrosity in 514 ABY, just a few months after their marriage. The Bensun's stayed at their family palace when they were not staying overnight in Terix's Royal Sith Palace.
