Theret

This is a place that was originally in a personal project of mine that I abandoned, but that I decided to bring back to life by putting it into star wars! I don't have the strenght to draw it, so for now I'll just use images to illustrate hoe this planet looks. Enjoy!

Theret is the birth place of Baheera Lee (OC), this is a planet located in the Mid Rim Territories, and is part of the Chommel sector. It's also part of the Republic, and is represented in the Senate by Senator and Princess, Madiha Akel.

It's an incredibly brightly colored planet, whose mountains, grass lands and beaches are composed by a multitude of natural colours.

Because of this biome, the human population of the planet also enjoys to surround themselves of these colors in their clothing and cities.

The cities and villages are, in fact, made of the same rocks as the mountains, and the glass of the windows are made from the colored sand, creating stunning rainbow cities that can effortlessly blend themselves with the landscape.

The people here also wear clothing and veils dyed with the natural colours of the planet, and their Tanneries are the most famous and proficient of the whole Sector.

In fact the most expensives gowns are often dyed here, like the clothing of various senators, politicians, rich merchants and even some of the gowns of the various Queens of Naboo.

Their homes are full of art of any form. From the stained glass of the windows, to the colored bricks of the walls, from the rainbow baskets to the painted vases, from the intricate embroidery of the veils to the jewelry that decorate their hands, necks and heads.

It's a planet full of joy and life, whose people are considered to be some of the happiest of the galaxy.

The planet suffered an huge attack during the Clone Wars, but the people managed to fight back and have a series of victories even before the Republic could intervene to help them.

A Battalion was then stationed there for the remain of the war, and they collaborated with the already existing, but small, military of the planet, to protect the population from the various attacks the CIS made even after their defeat.

The majority of the clones of the Battalion, by being in such close contact with the people of Theret, started to adopt their colorful lifestyle, by painting their armors in far more colors than any other clones in the whole GAR, which also had the advantage of helping them camouflage themselves on the battlefield.

Veiling Part 2:

Islam & Veiling:

Judaism and Catholicism have for a very long time been two of the largest world religions, and since the seventh century, Islam has became a major world religion as well. As it spread through the Middle East and Saharan and Sub Saharan-Africa, as well as many other areas around the Arabian Sea, it picked up local veling customs as well as influencing other veiling customs. Many people that criticize Muslims say that women are forced to veil and do not do it by choice, but many Muslim women in the West will argue that is their choice, that they have pride in their veiling, as it is a sign of their devotion and piety. To them it is an expression of their religious identity and themselves. The hijab is most popularly worn in the west and is similar to a variety of headscarves, consisting of one or two scarves that cover the head and neck. The niqab covers the body, face, and neck, with an opening for the eyes, most commonly seen in Gulf States. There is two styles of the niqab: a half niqab, which is a combo of a headscarf and a facial veil leaving the eyes and part of the forehead visible, and the the full, or Gulf niqab, which leaves only a narrow slit to see the eyes. The Chador is a full length body shawl which is closed at the neck by a pin or the hand. It covers all of the body but leaves the face fully visible, and is most commonly seen in the Middle East, specifically Iran. The Burqa is a full body veil. The whole body and face is covered, and the wearer sees out through a mesh screen that covers the eyes. It is most commonly seen in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Under the Talisban regime in Afghanistan, wearing the burqa is mandated by law. So what are the obligations to wearing the Islamic veil? The answer is that Muslim religious writings are not entirely clear on the question of women veiling. Many times in the Quran and Hadith, there are reference to Muhammed’s wives being veiled, but it's unclear if those references were just for the prophet’s wives, or Muslim women in general. The need for a woman to be modest is mentioned, but the translations range from “bosom” to covering everything except the face and hands. It is also seen as a way for men and women to control sexual desires, Muslim men are urged to cover up between the waist and the knees as well. In some areas, a woman can bring dishonor on herself and her male family members by being immodest. "The numerous styles of Islamic dress throughout the world today reflect local traditions and different interpretations of Islamic requirements. Muslim women in France, therefore, exhibit a wide range of dress and head coverings. Many wear nothing that distinguishes them as Muslims. A number of immigrant women practice modesty, not by donning traditional dress (i.e., the North African djellaba), but rather by wearing long-sleeved shirts and skirts that reach the ankles. For those who do veil, some simply wear brightly colored scarves on their heads, sometimes even allowing hair to show; others pin unicolor veils tightly around the face; and still others adopt long, flowing Islamic dress and occasionally cover the entire face except for the eyes. The girls at the center of the controversy usually wear Western clothing with a veil pinned around the face to cover their hair.”

Swiss canton St Gallen votes for ban on burqas in public | News | DW

Voters in the northeastern Swiss canton of St. Gallen on Sunday overwhelmingly approved a new law that would see facial coverings such as the burqa banned in public, with two-thirds casting a ballot in favor of the legislation under the Swiss system of direct democracy.

One other Swiss canton, that of Italian-speaking Ticino in the south, introduced a similar law two years ago.

The law was approved against the will of the regional St. Gallen government, which will now be obliged to implement the result. The outcome is valid despite just 36-percent turnout at the referendum.

The Swiss Federal Cabinet initially wanted to leave decisions on whether to introduce legislation against full-face coverings up to the individual cantons. However, it will now likely hold a national referendum on the issue next year after activists from the populist right-wing Swiss People’s party last year collected the more than 100,000 signatures needed to trigger one.

‘Burqa ban’

The text of the new law stipulates that “any person who renders themselves unrecognizable by covering their face in a public space and thus endangers public security or social and religious peace will be fined.”

The law is seen as mostly targeting the burqa and the niqab, garments worn by some Muslim women including veils that more or less completely cover the face for reasons of perceived modesty.

The question of whether women should be allowed to wear such garments in public has caused heated debate across Europe, with countries including Austria, France and Denmark already banning the clothing.

Some countries have partial bans in place, including Germany, where it is banned in the southeastern state of Bavaria and not permitted in other states while driving.

But Switzerland’s largest Islamic organization, the Islamic Central Council, has recommended that women continue to wear full-face veils and says it will consider legal action if it feels the law has been improperly applied.

Although a majority of Switzerland’s population identifies as Christian, the number of Muslims there has grown in recent years, with immigrants from the former Yugoslavia making up a large proportion of the 5 percent of people adhering to the religion who now live in the country.
