Zygerria was a temperate, rocky planet, with terrain including plains, mesas, and highlands. The sun on the planet could get quite hot, and thus the streets in the Zygerrian capital were partially covered by colorful awnings. During the Zygerrian Slave Empire’s height, the population had fortresses and cities built on top of the mesas scattered throughout the planet, using slave labor. Such cities and fortresses were very detailed and consistent in design throughout. Many areas or parts of cities were solely used for housing slaves, with regular round-the-clock guard patrols and multiple cells or grates lined in rows below the floor. Food would be dropped or slid in and air supplied through open grates in the ceiling.

Species such as the Togruta species were common for use in places like the Zygerrian Royal Palace. Arenas or stadiums were likewise present throughout cities where fights could be held and bets be placed by onlookers. Countless rich or powerful people traveled to and from Zygerria or its slave colonies looking for cheap labor to be used in businesses or just for general servitude in a wide range of capacities, depending on what customers wanted.
