Final Image. Similar to how the planet Naboo was heavily influenced by Byzantine/East Roman Architecture. I wanted to create a planet heavily influenced by the Persian empire. More specifically all reference having to do with mountains and birds . In order, to stay in line with the idea of flight and height commonly associated with sci-fi. Basically the story is that the Empire and the Rebels are fighting for control of this third party planet. Both opposing forces have to navigate its complex political landscape. Making and breaking alliances with local leaders ( à la Game of Thrones ) .

Color Reference. I latter on changed the color red color to be more pink rather then orange. In order to give a more high tech look.
