Planet Name: Korriban System Name: n/a Sector: n/a Region: n/a Terrain biggrin eserts, Canyons, Mines Zones: Sith Academy; Dark Lords of the Sith Shrines; Veeshaad mines
The Sith Academy is now abandoned. It is unsafe of any force user to meet in such a place.
This remote, forbidding planet, seething with dark side energy and echoing with the whispers of a thousand ghosts, was the burial world of the ancient Sith Empire, and has long been a sacred planet for the Sith Order. It is orbited by seven moons, and was unknown to the Old Republic before the rise of Naga Sadow. It was to Korriban that the ancient Dark Jedi fled after they were exiled by the Jedi Knights during the First Great Schism. Korriban was orignally inhabited by the Sith race, a relatively simple, red-skinned people. The Dark Jedi amazed the Sith with their training in the Force, and soon elected themselves to a god-like status, becoming the rulers of the Sith. As the years passed, interbreeding occured between the human Dark Jedi and the Sith, and it was not long before the Sith race in its original form became extinct.
Korriban is a desolate world which, under the pall of Sith magic, has become more hellish and dangerous. The Sith Lords erected huge palaces and burial complexes to honor their fallen Dark Lords. Whenever a Dark Lord died, his mummified corpse was interred with great ceremony in the Valley of the Dark Lords. After the fall of the Sith Empire, the planet lost much of its prominence.
It was briefly resettled during the reign of Darth Malak, and was home to the settlement of Dreshdae and a Sith training academy. However, with the death of the Dark Lord at the hands of Revan, the Sith Order collapsed into civil war and the world was once again abandoned.
Seven years after his death at the Battle of Endor, Emperor Palpatine, resurrected by the ancient Dark Lords as the insane embodiment of the dark side of the Force, visited Korriban for the last time in a vain attempt to stop the decay of his last clone body.
It once was the Sith Academy, but to this day remains untouched. Maybe it will once again be the Sith Orders home.

Fea looked smuggly at the three ships that had already landed on the planets surface. She had been space for awhile, finally comming to the Sith homeworld, Korriban. The crews of convicts were hard at work building a massive structure quite a ways away from the old uninhabited Sith Academy. The building was made of massive black marble looking like slabs, at least a hundred men were working on the desolate waste, making Fea her own little safepoint. From here she would train and become stronger and hopefully gain more power without too much lost. She reclined back more in her seat as she landed on the planets surface. She quickly climbed out of her ship and stared at the over half finished building, pride and satisfaction swelling. Her short white cape whipped around her, and she walked forward looking to inspect the near finished project.

The building looked alot like the old Sith Temple. There were new enhancements, as well as a few extra towers added. Her plans drawn she had given them to be used by the few trusted overseers. Fea smirked slightly, walking across the barren ground, just wandering for the sake of seeing the place she intended to call home. Against her surroundings she appeared ghost-like, her arms at her sides she stared forward, envisioning all the chaos she could create from here.
With that she began to walk towards the temporary shelter errected for her. Inside were the books she would be studying while the new temple was built. Meditation, War, and Diplomatic Ways were the subject of the day.

Looking sheepishly out of his window, Erik looked at the planet below. This little hunk of rock was once home to the most powerful darkside users ever. Yet, all of they had failed in one way or another. Some just could not control their minoins others could not control their destinies.
But to Erik, none of this matter. All that mattered was getting stronger and more efficent at killing. The taste of death was the only thing that could quench his hunger. Erik closed his eyes and just let to force guide him down to the ground below. Where it was calling him, he did not know. All he knew was that the force was calling him to this all by deserted planet. What secrets about the force would it hold.
His Mirtyl came to rest softly on the dust encrusted floor. It was obvious that no one had been here for some time. Erik jumped out and would have coughed, if it was not for his rebreather, as the dust was stirred. He drew one of his light sabers and used it like a touch. Everything was covered in dust and spiderwebs were everywhere else. Yet, the darkside just seemed to be pouring out of every crevice. What ever this place was, it certainly housed someone or something dark.
Erik slowly ventured forward and just let the force guide him through the ruins.

Fea was bent over an old and large map of the universe. She was in a tent, the finishing touches being completed on the new temple she now had to consider her next move.
A strategic takeover of planets would solidify her power. With a base on Korriban she had some right to the title of "Darth" yet she didn't want that. A base on an old Jedi planet would show her enemies exactly how far she would go to show them who would rule. Fea understood the importance of appearances for appearances sake, people expected it.
She traced the route from Korriban to Myrkr with her finger. Here was a planet that had a good mercenary base, but the creatures that lived there would make it hard for her to have proper control.
A look of cold hate came across her face as she looked back and forth at all the planets on the map. She had to be careful if she was to take control without upsetting the delicate balance of the New Republic. She wanted a planet that was near to Korriban, closer to Corellia. Kuat maybe? Nah, too close for comfort with the Jedi base on Corellia.
Again she thought fondly of Dantooine, the old site of the Jedi failure to handle Darth Magnus. She gently refolded the fraying map and placed it carefully into a black bag where she carried the things she brought from her home, Rori. With the base almost finished she'd have to consider quite a few things.
First, she needed real supporters, not just her puppets. Next she would need to learn and train in the Force, something she needed badly with the mediocre skills she had now. Of course she could control someone as week minded as a senator, but she had never dared try against another force user. Then again the old data chips might have some information, she had never bothered to look at them before. Maybe they would tell her something she had been missing.
A sigh escaped her as she stretched in her chair, soon she would need to decide whether she dared grasp the reigns of the storm she intended to brew, either way she would enjoy seeing what happened when the Jedi realized their new enemy wasn't just the hack and slash type.

"You've done an excellent job, and you shall be properly rewarded." She was looking at the head overseer of the Temple, it was now fully built. He looked at her wearily, she gave him the chills.
Fea slowly began to enter the thoughts of the man; and suddenly stopped most them before he could react. His eyes were now glazed and out of focus, the unfortunate side-effect of Fea's hold on his mind. She had had to practice many times to get it right, she had also had to learn not to stop the mind from transmitting vital signals to the rest of the body. Three of her "experiments" had died of strokes before she figured that one out.
She put it into his head that he had done such a good job that a nice trip to the nearest sun would be just the thing for him and all the other workers. He bowed to Fea clumsily and began to get the convict workers back into the ships, most of the workers obeyed sloth like when he ordered them on. Fea had made sure to slip quite a few things into their food and water supply, not enough to hinder work on her project, but enough to obey the harsh commands of an overseer as well as act favorably when she pressed them.
As she saw the ships leave she knew not to expect any survivors. And that would mean she was the only one to know exactly where everything was, no one would be able to say what she built here. And her puppet senator would ensure it would go down in the books as a tragic accident.
Walking briskly she opened the large metal doors to the new temple; her new base of operations.

As she walked the empty halls she toyed with different names for the magnificent structure. "The New Sith Temple" Just didn't sound right to her, it sounded used and in a way Jedish. A better name, one of good sound and meaning would be much better. She ran a quick mental check of her knowledge of languages until she found two names she particularly liked. Raserei and Nacht, both from a very old language whose roots were lost long ago, in fact she would be surprised if anyone knew what they meant anymore. The only reason she knew was because her mother had taught her, as well as a few other languages. Raserei-Rage and Nacht-Night, staring up at the dark ceiling she nodded her head in confirmation: Temple Raserei was her new home.
Earlier she had taken her meager belongings and had put them in her room. It was quaint, a small bed with a green covering in the corner, a cherry wood desk with matching chair in another. The room was made of a dark stone; both floor and ceiling were covered in it. The only light came from a small candle on her desk. It wasn't big, and it wasn't small it also had a few secret doors that only she knew about; a little insurance against unwanted visitors.
She looked around tiredly in the room realizing how little time she would have to spend there until pressing matters took her away. There was the situation of gathering more senators and force-users under her control. As well with her education of the force. Not even to mention her plans of eventually taking over her selected planet. Fea's lips curled into a smile at that. No one would even suspect.....and when they found out the real fun would begin.

Fea looked up sharply from her desk, she had been brainstorming ideas of getting a small army. That was untill she heard a strange cry; and the presence of another near by. She started cursing lividly in her mind. Her defenses around the area were weak; she hadn't thought her prescence would be felt enough yet to require guards.
Fea pushed back her chair and exited her chamber, walking towards the main room entrance that was connected with her own, partially worried, partially angry.

A ship had exited hyperspace, the A-wing fighter making its way towards the Sith Temple, following the traces of the dark prescences seeming to reside there.
Noticing the other ships landed in a specific area, she had navigated and began the landing cycle a little farther off from them, and the newly contructed Sith Temple. The cockpit opening to reveal a young woman, face hidden with a black cowl, who had quickly strode out onto the ground, where it had began to get just a little grassy, and had strode forward towards the Sith Temple, following her need for answers, and a strange attraction, although she did not know what.
As Solaris had gotten closer, a bit of nervousness had gripped her for a moment, and kept the Force Lash handy, ready to be used. As she had entered the Sith Temple, for a moment she heard the dying noise of a strange cry reverberating through the charcoal-colored marble halls. Aside from that, she had been admiring the great halls of this.. Place. She wondered how the Dark Jedi themselves would react to her, due to being she had never met them, despite the fact she had heard and read much about them. Their prescences were chilling, but she knew she would have to shrug off the feeling if she were to stay here for a while.
After a while of wondering, she had revealed her face, masking her feelings, seeming to get a bit bolder as time elapsed.

Erik was excited by what he was discovering. Around every corner, there was a new piece of information. A new insight into the lives of the Sith of old. From what he could gather, this place was abandoned about 32 years ago. And why, that was still a mystery. Why would anyone go to the effort of stating clearly when some where as abandoned?
Entering the next room, Erik was blown away by the detail in it. Across the way, there was what appeared to be a dust encrusted throne. It was beautiful and must have seated many powerful Dark Lords. He started to make his way across the room, when he sensed something far off. It was almost as if there was a gathering of the darkside. What ever it was, Erik was going to find out. This place was not going anywhere.
Erik ran back to his Mirtyl and quickly set the co-ordinates for the gathering of evil.
"This going to be interesting. I can not wait to find out what it is." Erik thought to himself.

As Solaris had been wandering, she had heard the blade of a 'saber be ignited, whipping around to see Kridus, the light of his blades glowing and humming, she was guessing how of this that they were hostile, and had the hilt of her Force Lash gripped tightly, prepared to be ignited. It looked like the hilt of a lightsaber, but there was indeed a suprise to be shown. And yet, she felt emotions of exitement and anxiety come from him. Revealing herself to him, she had asked quietly to him,"Who.. Are you?", hopefully her suspicions were incorrect, for she needed to know about the places in the Temple, to save time, and so she wouldn't have to wander around any further. For a moment she almost wanted him to attack for a moment, she was ready to test the Cortosis deposit on his lightsabers, as well as be aware somewhat of what she would have to deal with in her stay.

As Solaris tried to communicate with the small Jawa. He Knew what she meant and thought it best to not provoke her, so he didn't have to engage two enemies. Kridus lowered his two sabres, with the orange glow, to the ground. Now his body was lit by the orange light as his brown clothes blew a little in this drafty place they were in.
Kridus's yellow eyes looked up, not in a threatening manner, but in a weary way.
"too kyyy"
said Kridus in an attempt to say something

Seeing him lower his laser swords, she had released a tension that had gripped her earlier, and had retained a calmer position, now, and looked down at the Jawa, noticing his glittering yellow eyes. Hearing the strange thing she had said, she had paused for a moment, afraid she couldn't understand what the creature was trying to tell her,"What?" She had relieved herself of some suspicions of hostility, although she, like the jawa, as she had noticed, had kept a weary watch. Perhaps Solaris would come to understand him in time, but not at this moment.
