Lore:
Meridum translated from Intelonian means "Farmland of the Sky", because the Intelonians sought out to find more argiculture and finding that Meridum's landscape is suitable for such feats. So the Intelonian expanded its reach to establish the Meridum Kingdom. Later in the years after the Fall of the Intelonian, Meridum became the center of most action in the Republic. It became most known during the First Galactic War, the moon was razed to the ground, small pockets of moon remained intacted but the moon was coded uninhabitable, but after countless Reformation projects and Rebuilidng projects across the Republic, Meridum was restored to its former glory. Today Meridum's population is centered around the Meridum Maas Caldera, a massive dormant Super Volcano. Meridum is also home to the Demon Hunter's Academy located in the depths of the Caldera Forest.

Formation:
When Tretris Oakutarui was forming after the collision of two worlds, and the newly created world attracted the asteroid belt of the still forming star system. The asteroid belt pelting the newly collided world, was also being captured by the planet. When Tretris was at its current size now, some parts of the asteroid belt remained, however due to the gravitational pull from the newly formed world captured some asteroids, and soon more and more asteroids became captured. The first moon to form was Meridum, as asteroids began to collide with the moon, its core was formed enough to make its own gravitational pull. By the end of Three Suns System formation, Meridum including its 4 other brother moons were formed. However unlike the other moons, Meridum's size had enough mass to make its core active and being in the system's habitable zone, water was able to form.
Roughly after the planet cooled, Meridum's orbit became tidal locked with Tretris' this helped the core's activity even more stable. Soon after awhile, with ice crystals being brought in by the comets that are pulled into Tretris, Meridum and Rembrand, the planet and moons became encoated with enough ice crystals from comets for water to stablize. Soon after, the atmosphere of the moon formed due to the basic steps of life began to form.

Later in the First Galactic War, Meridum would become the center of attention when the moon was razed to the ground, however only the Meridum Maas Caldera was razed the amount of bombardment destroyed the moon's atmosphere making it uninhabitable, thanks to the multiple relief efforts Meridum was restored to it's former glory, but some of the impact craters from the bombardment remain as a constant reminder to what Meridum suffered.
