Sauria

Sauria is the closest inhibited planet to the sun in the Lylat System. Due to being so close to the star, Sauria is a desert planet. During the Lylat Civil War, the Saurians devoted there time into becoming excellent ship builders and pilots. Due to the desert conditions, the Saurians evolved to live underground, and so, they built their factories underground. During the early days of the Lylat Republic, Sauria produced two thirds of the sailors and pilots, and all the ships and fighters for the the Republic Military. Sauria went on to produce large quantities of star ships for the Republic, and continues to produce the best fighter pilots and starfarrers, and the the Sauria Flight Academy is the best military flight-school in the galaxy.
