Firevale, situated on the world of Gansevor, functioned as a city-state. Its origins trace back hundreds of years before the High Republic Era. The city's construction started within a box canyon, initially as a mining settlement, following the discovery of the highly valued Baudraxite. Exclusively located in Firevale, Baudraxite rapidly became their primary export, traded with other city-states on the planet for necessities ranging from sustenance to advanced technology. As time passed, this mineral evolved into a fundamental component of the planet's energy systems. A significant portion of Gansevor's populace harbored resentment towards Firevale's inhabitants due to their reluctance to generously share this essential resource with other states.
