Sigil 2 was the former home of [[House Exar Kun]]. It was once engulfed in ice, however, much like Kapsina it underwent massive environmental change and was transformed into a moderately temperate climate. The planet is composed of six continents: Tesh-Relin, Decaria, Erineth, Barridon, Kelimar and Nyo. The various terrain types provided by the continents serve as an excellent training ground for Plagueis' ground forces.

During the [[Eighth Great Jedi War]], Sigil 2 was reduced to little more than a barren wasteland. Bombed by the Yuuzhan Vong, all of the major cities and structures on the surface were destroyed and a quarter was terraformed to the invaders’ liking. The once great symbols of Exar Kun, [[Ash Citadel]] and [[Diadem Fortress]], were also destroyed in the attack, forcing House Exar Kun to take refuge on [[Kapsina]].

==History==

Sigil 2, formerly known as Aerun, was once a planet of varied climates, possessing a native species called Aerunians which is now extinct. With the invasion of the [[Starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] into the [[Jusadih System]], Sigil 2 was bombarded mercilessly until its surface was completely obliterated. Its oceans boiled and vaporized as its land mass was reduced to molten waste. As the Vong set down upon its surface, their Vongforming techniques took place over the blackened land that used to be the continent of Decaria, and jungle landscape spread across the ground.

The land had become a mixture of odd valleys, craters, plateaus, and gorges because of the oceans and lakes evaporating and the molten surface and tectonic plates shifting. This landscape became the purchase for many strange and alien life forms, from strange lichens and shrubs to towering trees and spires of yorik coral. This was the case until the Yuuzhan Vong left the system, seeking the [[Starwars:Battle of Coruscant|Battle of Coruscant]]. One-fourth of the planet had become a vongformed jungle, spreading outward from the former site of Diadem Fortress.

The land beyond the jungles seems to be little more than a harsh, decimated wasteland. Because of the build-up of vaporized oxygen and hydrogen in the atmosphere, the planet’s first few weeks since the Vong left saw it covered it in powerful storms and tempests. These bombarded the surface with rainwater and harsh winds, letting the planet’s alien jungle grow and swell even more while filling certain gorges and craters outside the wilderness with water swarming in the pollutants left over from the world’s obliteration. Altogether, one who had dwelt on Sigil 2 before the bombardment would swear it was a different world.

The release of hydrogen and oxygen into the atmosphere had a somewhat purifying effect on the atmosphere, disturbing the build-up of greenhouse gases and forcing many of said gases off of the planet. However, without these gasses, Sigil 2’s surface beyond the Vong jungle can be called cold at best. Within the jungles, however, the varied flora and fauna forms a tight-knit, highly humid environment filled with warmth. The strangest fact about the planet’s new surface is that the jungles erected by the Vong have, like their creators, a complete absence in the Force. This has confounded [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] on the planet, but may help them find places like the ruins of Ash Citadel. In the meantime, the planet is populated only by CP forces, alien life forms, and anyone who may have found their way on-world before Plagueis returned.

The Vongforming of the planet holds unexpected merit and opportunity. Though the surface is destroyed and polluted for the most part, it is anticipated that in time, a natural water cycle will be formed and the surface of the planet will, at least partially, purify itself. This will give Plagueis forces an opportunity to reshape the world, using some restorative technologies in addition to the natural aggressive tendencies of the jungle to spread. Only time will tell.

==Satellite Description==

===Relaren===

Roughly equivalent to the size of the Earth's moon, the first 'moon' of Sigil 2 is geographically mountainous, in addition to being covered in snow and ice -- completely glacial climate. Several mountain ranges merge into a dormant volcano, Toevarlinli. Recent science studies determine that the volcano will remain dormant for at least the next hundred years. However, a station for collecting thermal energy on the world has been converted to a sort of escape area for hundreds of refugees fleeing the Vong attacks, along with other bunkers established on the moon.

===Rakmar===

Almost equal to the size of Relaren, it is stationed slightly closer to the planet and shares Sigil 2's ability to support life. Heavily forested, with a cool atmosphere, it is prime conditions for a host of deadly creatures that inhabit the uncivilized 'moon.' [[House Exar Kun]] abandoned several outposts on the moon, however, and these have been taken over by any number of pirate and smuggler groups, or refugees. None know their true purpose except the Dark Jedi, who purged all databases on the moon.

===Joran===

The farthest from Sigil 2, Joran is the third 'moon' of Sigil 2 and is roughly half the size of Relaren. Formerly rocky and possessing next-to-no planet life, it seems that any settlements were wiped out by the Vong and the moon was Vongformed completely. Now, it is unknown what may dwell there, though it does seem that the Vong were in the process of growing a colony there, and possibly other things such as starships.

==Planet Geography==

Nine zones currently form the wasteland of Sigil 2. Only three of these are definitely suitable for long-term habitation and usage, though four others are targets for exploration, their habitability at least possible if not suspected. The final two zones are considered uninhabitable due to harsh conditions, though they may still be explored for short intervals of time.

===Zone 1===

'''Under Investigation'''

Zone 1 is an expanse of terrain on the border of the Vong jungle. It is characterized as a large crater, and is known to be full of treacherous holes and potential hazards, along with what seems to be some sort of tunnels formed by an as-yet-unknown species of creature or natural event. However, faint fungal growth on certain rocks is shown in some orbital imaging, giving rise to the thought of possible habitability. At present, an automated facility serves a tri-fold purpose here. It relays information to and from the planet, monitors the Vong jungle, and is being used as a test of habitability and equipment durability in the hostile turf near and within the jungle.

===Zone 2===

'''Habitable'''

Zone 2 is a habitable area made up of something of a flattened expanse of what could one day be called plains, perhaps even grasslands in time. It is in this area that a military barracks and training ground is established, due to the wide area for equipment usage.

===Zone 3===

'''Uninhabitable'''

Zone 3 inhabits the area once called the Valley of Death. The Vong plasma destroyed the volcanoes around the valley, and their lava bubbled up to form a wide field of it by the end of the bombardment. However, the rains of the planet semi-cooled the surface of what has been called the lava crater in slang terms. Its surface is semi-solid and unstable, and a facility here would, at present, prove to be a loss of equipment and personnel. With innovation, and perhaps Mustafarian technology, Plagueis could possibly set up a facility for thermal energy extraction and the production of materials from the molten elements within the Zone.

===Zone 4===

'''Under Investigation'''

Zone 4 appears to have some vestigial ruins from one of the planet’s former cities. At present, it is unknown what else may have happened when the city’s various industrial and military emplacements may have done to the landscape. However, it is quite possible that clearing of the rubble could allow establishment of a facility in the future.

===Zone 5===

'''Habitable'''

While Zone 5 is rather rocky and difficult to traverse, its turf is fairly level and its environment is stable, unlike other parts of the planet. One area of Zone 5 has been cleared for the establishment of a runway and flight school for Plagueian forces. Clan Plagueis uses the terrain here as a reliable area for actual and simulated drills in fighter and capital ship operation.

===Zone 6===

'''Under Investigation'''

Destabilized plate tectonics on Sigil 2 in the wake of the Vong bombardment led to a number of plates colliding and receding. This caused the land of Zone 6 to fragment and split, forming deep rents and chasms in the ground in some places, while forcing hills and smaller mountains upward. These factors, combined with occasional earthquake activity in the area, are all that keep Zone 6 from being habitable.

===Zone 7===

'''Habitable'''

Zone 7, near Zone 6, underwent similar transformation into a rocky series of caverns, fissures, and small mountains. However, Zone 7 is stable, and a training facility has been established on one of the larger plateaus for Special Forces recruits. Those who show themselves to be a cut above the regular soldier and pilot militia will be trained in this area to serve guerrilla and other roles.

===Zone 8===

'''Uninhabitable'''

Zone 8 was the area of a very large, previously untapped source of subterranean water. When the plasma bombardment began, this extensive network of pools and rivers were transformed. Additives of pollution from a nearby city, suspected to be Tirik but impossible to confirm with the shifting of the planet’s surface in its molten state and the movement of tectonic plates, as well as other elements that shifted in, changed much of this water into vicious, polluted, and even acidic water. These burst out of the ground at random points, though the water from them may be drained off in the future and cleaned. At present, the Zone is entirely uninhabitable.

===Zone 9===

'''Under Inverstigation'''

Zone 9 is the nearest zone to habitability. At present, it is positioned near the northern pole of the planet, and the combination of hostile, jagged terrain, unknown climatic events, and sheer drop in temperature mean that this place is simply too cold and unknown to colonize at this time. With studies of Zone 9’s unknown weather patterns and altered topography, however, it is highly probable that this Zone will soon have a permanent facility, probably for Plagueis Intelligence or top-secret research due to the hostile, unforgiving cold making the area difficult to access without force. However, a crashed ship in the area may be the first signs of potential habitation.

==Facilities==

===Plagueis Army Training Center===

Located in Zone 2, the facilities of the PATC are the typical army setup. It is here that the rank-and-file soldiers of the Clan are trained, and it is here that they receive their orders. As many of the soldiers are refugees, this is the place that they call home. The buildings of the compound are surrounded with chain-link fencing.

In the center of the area, a bunker houses the leading members of the ground military forces. This bunker is expanded upon below-ground with a series of tunnels, many of which are under construction. Along with automated defences within and outside of the bunker, soldiers piled into it are thought to be able to fight off an entire enemy army for a few weeks until help arrives.

A large barracks facility has been established, which is housed within fifty feet north of the bunker to enable efficient crossover to the bunker in times of emergency. The barracks are essentially one large warehouse, with a second floor of metallic grating and simplistic bunks built into the walls. A bathing facility is attached on the side of the bunker, housing twenty-five minimalist shower stalls that soldiers cycle into and out of.

About seventy feet west of the bunker is housed the armoury. Another warehouse similar to the barracks, it houses many crates and containers full of munitions and gear. A staff of droids and work officers handles the equipment, and keeps a computer system with a full record of the armoury’s stock and changes to it. In times of danger, there is a secret trap-door hidden beneath a faux grenade crate. Soldiers would sneak munitions into the bunker’s tunnels from it, and it is easily locked down should enemies find it.

Sixty feet east of the bunker is a small landing pad attached to a much larger garage. Within this garage, many vehicles ranging from swoops to combative tanks are housed. The pad is used for incoming shuttles, and the garage’s roof opens to allow troop transports out.

A large space of the field outside the fence is made up of weapon and combat drill sites. It is located to the south of the facility, and is crowned with a large obstacle course. Included is an area for blaster practice, grenade usage, and other forms of combat. It is here that most of a trainee’s time is spent. All drills and the course have small doors which can be opened in times of emergency to allow quick and easy access to the compound.

===Plagueis Naval Academy===

Located in Zone 5, the PNA is a facility comprised internally of facilities for training pilots and sophisticated training equipment for drills in fighter and capital ship combat. Genuine fighter-to-fighter drills are held over the rocky, difficult-to-traverse terrain of Zone 5.

The compound itself is a fairly large structure, seemingly one oddly-formed building but in reality comprised of many attached modules. Attached to the top of the building is a concussion missile launcher, placed to stop attacking fighters long enough for the fighters to get into the air. It is aided by a turbolaser battery and an ion cannon, both operated from within the structure.

Attached to the outside of the building on the left side is a fairly large landing pad. This houses TIE fighters of various makes, used in training exercises and the defence of the academy should it come under attack. The TIE is used here mainly because it is cheap and quickly produced, should they be destroyed.

The largest module of the academy is the living quarters. Rectangular in shape, these are much nicer than those of the rank-and-file military, consisting of small, cubicle-like rooms around bunks and enclosed showers, as well as allowing personal possessions in rooms. Also, on the floor beneath the rooms is a dining hall, where food of moderate quality is cooked for aspiring naval personnel.===Plagueis Naval Academy===

The largest module of the academy is the living quarters.

Also, on the floor beneath the rooms is a dining hall, where food of moderate quality is cooked for aspiring naval personnel.

Attached to the living quarters is a smaller fighter training module. Housed within this place are a number of simulators that allow recruits to experience dogfighting without risking their lives in a pointless drill. Also held here is a large storage of TIE pilot equipment, such as blaster pistols and flight suits.

The next module, larger than the training module yet smaller than the living quarters, is a garage for fighters in need of repair. Here, Plagueis technicians keep spare parts, extra munitions, and other equipment for the repair and maintenance of starfighters. The staff of this area are newer pilot recruits, mandatory staff, droids, and any recruit serving penance for disobeying a commanding officer.

Another module of the naval academy is the command office. Very small, this is where the leaders of the [[Clan Plagueis Fleet|Plagueis Naval Forces]] coordinate the academy and other matters of the Navy on Sigil 2. It is also here that the Jedi serving the Consul are housed, sending their dark orders to those ignorant to and untrained in the Force.

Finally, the smallest module is a communications tower on the side of the academy. This is maintained by two Naval staff at all times, receiving transmissions from the Summits, other installations, and the PASF.

===Plagueis Special Operations Facility===

Located in Zone 7, this facility is placed atop one of the larger plateaus in the Zone. The PSOF is, in itself, rather minimalist, consisting of small areas for equipment and supply storage as well as a simplistic bunk area for those few specially-trained recruits that make their way here. While it is a minimalist structure, it is streamlined for efficiency.

Appearing to be one large bunker, the facility is divided into five sections, each for its own purpose. The north section is the bunks, a room of beds built into small indents in the walls. Each bunk consists of a sleeping pallet and a drawer for possessions, kept small and mostly empty by Special Forces.

The section immediately west of the bunks serves as an armoury. Here, one can find various combat lockers and containers holding varieties of specialized weaponry never used by the typical rank-and-file grunts, as well as standard equipment for more general usage. Also held in the armoury are the various suits that Special Forces use in battle, depending on the situation.

The eastern section is the mess hall. Here, food is prepared to deliver maximum nutrition while not wasting anything or being overly unhealthy. As such, food here is typically tasteless, and the Special Forces tend to regulate eating times along with everything else.

The south-eastern section of this area is the practice room. Here, recruits into the Special Forces are typically drilled on combat, both armed and unarmed. In between exercises, the Special Forces commonly spar here, as it gives them something to do besides merely sitting around and waiting for things to happen. As most exercises are kept outside, in the gorges and canyons of Zone 7, this room is either for recreational sparring or for the greener recruits of the Special Forces.

The south-western section of the facility is a bathing facility kept minimal to the last. Special Forces have five standard minutes of hot water to clean themselves before the shower shuts off, and a retinal scanner ensures that the same recruit uses the showers once a day. Also, special disinfectant showers are necessary for whenever the recruits discover a new area or venture into the jungle.

The final and most-hidden aspect of the facility is a small shield generator that encompasses the facility and surrounding area in an anti-bombardment shield. This makes a ground assault necessary for the enemy in the event of an attack, using the unpredictable terrain as a two-pronged attack on the enemy. Heavy equipment and machinery becomes useless, while the Special Forces that call the terrain home use their home field advantage to kill enemies with guerrilla tactics.

===Plagueis Automated Surveillance Facility===

The PASF is an entirely automated facility, run by computers and droids. Its mechanisms coordinate with satellites placed in orbit around the planet to store and make sense of the data captured in imagery, which is sent to the Dark Tower via relayed communications on a weekly basis. The facility also uses cameras and other sensory equipment to observe, but not alert, the organisms of the Force-dead Vong jungle.

The PASF is a very small facility. It consists primarily of a communications array, accessible to living staff in times of emergency by way of a crawlspace that leads into the smaller room. Inside, a team of up to five droids consisting usually of astromech droids monitor and control transmissions. A translator unit is usually in this facility to interpret and translate transmissions to basic should they be of alien origin.

The next feature of the facility is a small attachment for observation of the jungle. Using several cameras and sensors, photographs and recordings of the jungle are taken and sent to an analysis team on a weekly basis by the droids running the observatory.

The final feature of the PASF is a repair bay with specialized repair droids that handle any damages to equipment or mechanized staff. In the worst circumstances, the door used to enter is fully useable by sentient organisms to conduct manual maintenance. Like the observatory, the repair bay is linked into the communications array.

==Landmarks==

===Si’Tilk===

The abandoned fortress of the Yuuzhan Vong on Sigil 2, Si’Tilk is currently the most remarkable feat of Vong technology on the planet. While most or all of the creatures and plant life on the world’s surface have been Shaped in one way or another, Si’Tilk is an amalgamation of multiple organisms working together to function similarly to a technological facility. It will hopefully be conquered and repurposed by [[Clan Plagueis]].

===Ruins of Ash Citadel===

While, in theory, the world’s cities and facilities should be molten into the shifted surface of the planet, Ash Citadel was within the range that was soon Vongformed by the Vong. While it has clearly been obliterated, the quickly-stabilized terrain did not melt and shift as the rest of the world did, and satellite photography shows a distortion in the thickness of the jungle. This indicates that something is left, and any well-attuned Jedi on the planet’s surface can feel the screams of agony that paint it as a landmark in the Force among Force-dead flora and fauna. Hopefully, it can be rebuilt.

===City Ruins===

While at present we do not know which city this is due to the shifting of the planet’s surface in the wake of the Vong’s evacuation, the ruins within Zone 4 are definitely still somewhat intact and are notable as a landmark both in the Force and on satellite photography.

===Giant Yorik Spire===

Perhaps as a side-effect of the rain that poured down on Sigil 2 following the bombardment, one spire of yorik coral has grown far larger than others of its kind. However, by the shape of it, it was the beginning of a Yuuzhan Vong ship being produced. Certain observations by orbital photography have shown what seem to be wildlife and plant life growing out of the spire, as well as entering and leaving it, suggesting it may in fact be hollow.

===Crash Site===

Recent photography of Zone 9 have shown what appears to be a crashed CR90 Corvette, or similar model of ship, protruding from the landscape. The bridge of the ship seems to be pulverized, with the rest of the ship lying on its side in a large crater. It is unknown whether whoever piloted the ship survived, but it is certainly a site for future exploration.

===Graveyard of Souls===

A slang term used by the military of Plagueis, the Graveyard of Souls refers to an area where Jedi have identified a large number of echoes in the Force, screaming imprints left by an unknown group of dead within the Vong jungle. This could be the last of the former resistance movement on the planet, the ruins of a city, or some other civilization scar. However, it is possible for decently strong Jedi to feel it more than a Zone away from the jungle, and will be studied when it is found.

===Di Plagia Monument===

Built in Zone 1, the Di Plagia Monument is a large, square stone base with a statue of the current Consul of Plagueis placed atop of it, with an inscription that reads “The Throne of Diadem will be ours once more”. It is used as a point of reverence by the Jedi and military of Plagueis, as well as a monument to those that died of the initial assault on the planet. Finally, a secret emergency beacon is hidden within the base of the statue. This can be activated as a last-ditch effort, should all else fail in defending the planet.

===Strange Settlement===

While not populated by the Yuuzhan Vong, smaller, reptilian creatures that appear to be sentient occupy a group of organic structures. Their function and purpose is unknown, but they are definitely organized and working toward a goal. Future investigation is a must, for these may be servants of the Vong left behind.

==Political Outlook==

Sigil 2 is at present deemed as “Officially restricted” by Plagueian political leaders in Jusadih. No unauthorized presence is allowed on the world’s surface. However, it is secretly used by Plagueis for a number of training and other endeavours that must never reach the eye of the Republic, who still hold a treaty with Jusadih’s new leaders. As such, those outside the Brotherhood that know of Sigil 2’s use are quickly eliminated. Political presence on the system’s “dirty little secret” is strictly minimal, nearly non-existent, ruled only by the scant few Jedi left on the world.

===Military Presence===

In contrast to the scant politics, the military usage of Sigil 2 is paramount to the success of Clan Plagueis. It is here that the military of the Clan is trained, with only the Intelligence branch of the world left on Kapsina. With the stabilization and habitation of at least some of the Zones under investigation, even this branch will be transferred to Sigil 2. It is within the military that any real political power rests.

While Jedi representatives control the wishes of the Summits, Plagueis military and naval leaders form the de facto rulers of the planet. Military personnel gain standing and importance as they gain rank, ordering their subordinates as if they were in a permanent, though dull, wartime situation. Until more permanent government is established, this is the only command structure on the world.

All military and navy personnel that are not assigned to active duty call this world home, outside of leaves of absence where they are sworn to secrecy. However, this is largely unnecessary as most of the military consists of conscripted refugees of the Vong’s merciless crusade of domination. As such, many of the personnel refuse leaves and call the world their permanent home as they have nowhere else to go.

==Satellite Description==

===Relaren===

Roughly equivalent to the size of the Earth's moon, the first 'moon' of Sigil 2 is geographically mountainous, in addition to being covered in snow and ice -- completely glacial climate. Several mountain ranges merge into a dormant volcano, Toevarlinli. Recent science studies determine that the volcano will remain dormant for at least the next hundred years. However, a station for collecting thermal energy on the world has been converted to a sort of escape area for hundreds of refugees fleeing the Vong attacks, along with other bunkers established on the moon.

Almost equal to the size of Relaren, it is stationed slightly closer to the planet and shares Sigil 2's ability to support life. Heavily forested, with a cool atmosphere, it is prime conditions for a host of deadly creatures that inhabit the uncivilized 'moon.' [[House Exar Kun]] abandoned several outposts on the moon, however, and these have been taken over by any number of pirate and smuggler groups, or refugees. None know their true purpose except the Dark Jedi, who purged all databases on the moon.

===Joran===

The farthest from Sigil 2, Joran is the third 'moon' of Sigil 2 and is roughly half the size of Relaren. Formerly rocky and possessing next-to-no planet life, it seems that any settlements were wiped out by the Vong and the moon was Vongformed completely. Now, it is unknown what may dwell there, though it does seem that the Vong were in the process of growing a colony there, and possibly other things such as starships.

==Planet Geography==

Nine zones currently form the wasteland of Sigil 2. Only three of these are definitely suitable for long-term habitation and usage, though four others are targets for exploration, their habitability at least possible if not suspected. The final two zones are considered uninhabitable due to harsh conditions, though they may still be explored for short intervals of time.

===Zone 1===

'''Under Investigation'''

Zone 1 is an expanse of terrain on the border of the Vong jungle. It is characterized as a large crater, and is known to be full of treacherous holes and potential hazards, along with what seems to be some sort of tunnels formed by an as-yet-unknown species of creature or natural event. However, faint fungal growth on certain rocks is shown in some orbital imaging, giving rise to the thought of possible habitability. At present, an automated facility serves a tri-fold purpose here. It relays information to and from the planet, monitors the Vong jungle, and is being used as a test of habitability and equipment durability in the hostile turf near and within the jungle.

===Zone 2===

'''Habitable'''

Zone 2 is a habitable area made up of something of a flattened expanse of what could one day be called plains, perhaps even grasslands in time. It is in this area that a military barracks and training ground is established, due to the wide area for equipment usage.

===Zone 3===

'''Uninhabitable'''

Zone 3 inhabits the area once called the Valley of Death. The Vong plasma destroyed the volcanoes around the valley, and their lava bubbled up to form a wide field of it by the end of the bombardment. However, the rains of the planet semi-cooled the surface of what has been called the lava crater in slang terms. Its surface is semi-solid and unstable, and a facility here would, at present, prove to be a loss of equipment and personnel. With innovation, and perhaps Mustafarian technology, Plagueis could possibly set up a facility for thermal energy extraction and the production of materials from the molten elements within the Zone.

===Zone 4===

'''Under Investigation'''

Zone 4 appears to have some vestigial ruins from one of the planet’s former cities. At present, it is unknown what else may have happened when the city’s various industrial and military emplacements may have done to the landscape. However, it is quite possible that clearing of the rubble could allow establishment of a facility in the future.

===Zone 5===

'''Habitable'''

While Zone 5 is rather rocky and difficult to traverse, its turf is fairly level and its environment is stable, unlike other parts of the planet. One area of Zone 5 has been cleared for the establishment of a runway and flight school for Plagueian forces. Clan Plagueis uses the terrain here as a reliable area for actual and simulated drills in fighter and capital ship operation.

===Zone 6===

'''Under Investigation'''

Destabilized plate tectonics on Sigil 2 in the wake of the Vong bombardment led to a number of plates colliding and receding. This caused the land of Zone 6 to fragment and split, forming deep rents and chasms in the ground in some places, while forcing hills and smaller mountains upward. These factors, combined with occasional earthquake activity in the area, are all that keep Zone 6 from being habitable.

===Zone 7===

'''Habitable'''

Zone 7, near Zone 6, underwent similar transformation into a rocky series of caverns, fissures, and small mountains. However, Zone 7 is stable, and a training facility has been established on one of the larger plateaus for Special Forces recruits. Those who show themselves to be a cut above the regular soldier and pilot militia will be trained in this area to serve guerrilla and other roles.

===Zone 8===

'''Uninhabitable'''

Zone 8 was the area of a very large, previously untapped source of subterranean water. When the plasma bombardment began, this extensive network of pools and rivers were transformed. Additives of pollution from a nearby city, suspected to be Tirik but impossible to confirm with the shifting of the planet’s surface in its molten state and the movement of tectonic plates, as well as other elements that shifted in, changed much of this water into vicious, polluted, and even acidic water. These burst out of the ground at random points, though the water from them may be drained off in the future and cleaned. At present, the Zone is entirely uninhabitable.

===Zone 9===

'''Under Inverstigation'''

Zone 9 is the nearest zone to habitability. At present, it is positioned near the northern pole of the planet, and the combination of hostile, jagged terrain, unknown climatic events, and sheer drop in temperature mean that this place is simply too cold and unknown to colonize at this time. With studies of Zone 9’s unknown weather patterns and altered topography, however, it is highly probable that this Zone will soon have a permanent facility, probably for Plagueis Intelligence or top-secret research due to the hostile, unforgiving cold making the area difficult to access without force. However, a crashed ship in the area may be the first signs of potential habitation.

==Facilities==

===Plagueis Army Training Center===

Located in Zone 2, the facilities of the PATC are the typical army setup. It is here that the rank-and-file soldiers of the Clan are trained, and it is here that they receive their orders. As many of the soldiers are refugees, this is the place that they call home. The buildings of the compound are surrounded with chain-link fencing.

In the center of the area, a bunker houses the leading members of the ground military forces. This bunker is expanded upon below-ground with a series of tunnels, many of which are under construction. Along with automated defences within and outside of the bunker, soldiers piled into it are thought to be able to fight off an entire enemy army for a few weeks until help arrives.

A large barracks facility has been established, which is housed within fifty feet north of the bunker to enable efficient crossover to the bunker in times of emergency. The barracks are essentially one large warehouse, with a second floor of metallic grating and simplistic bunks built into the walls. A bathing facility is attached on the side of the bunker, housing twenty-five minimalist shower stalls that soldiers cycle into and out of.

About seventy feet west of the bunker is housed the armoury. Another warehouse similar to the barracks, it houses many crates and containers full of munitions and gear. A staff of droids and work officers handles the equipment, and keeps a computer system with a full record of the armoury’s stock and changes to it. In times of danger, there is a secret trap-door hidden beneath a faux grenade crate. Soldiers would sneak munitions into the bunker’s tunnels from it, and it is easily locked down should enemies find it.

Sixty feet east of the bunker is a small landing pad attached to a much larger garage. Within this garage, many vehicles ranging from swoops to combative tanks are housed. The pad is used for incoming shuttles, and the garage’s roof opens to allow troop transports out.

A large space of the field outside the fence is made up of weapon and combat drill sites. It is located to the south of the facility, and is crowned with a large obstacle course. Included is an area for blaster practice, grenade usage, and other forms of combat. It is here that most of a trainee’s time is spent. All drills and the course have small doors which can be opened in times of emergency to allow quick and easy access to the compound.

===Plagueis Naval Academy===

Located in Zone 5, the PNA is a facility comprised internally of facilities for training pilots and sophisticated training equipment for drills in fighter and capital ship combat. Genuine fighter-to-fighter drills are held over the rocky, difficult-to-traverse terrain of Zone 5.

The compound itself is a fairly large structure, seemingly one oddly-formed building but in reality comprised of many attached modules. Attached to the top of the building is a concussion missile launcher, placed to stop attacking fighters long enough for the fighters to get into the air. It is aided by a turbolaser battery and an ion cannon, both operated from within the structure.

Attached to the outside of the building on the left side is a fairly large landing pad. This houses TIE fighters of various makes, used in training exercises and the defence of the academy should it come under attack. The TIE is used here mainly because it is cheap and quickly produced, should they be destroyed.

The largest module of the academy is the living quarters. Rectangular in shape, these are much nicer than those of the rank-and-file military, consisting of small, cubicle-like rooms around bunks and enclosed showers, as well as allowing personal possessions in rooms. Also, on the floor beneath the rooms is a dining hall, where food of moderate quality is cooked for aspiring naval personnel.===Plagueis Naval Academy===

Attached to the living quarters is a smaller fighter training module. Housed within this place are a number of simulators that allow recruits to experience dogfighting without risking their lives in a pointless drill. Also held here is a large storage of TIE pilot equipment, such as blaster pistols and flight suits.

The next module, larger than the training module yet smaller than the living quarters, is a garage for fighters in need of repair. Here, Plagueis technicians keep spare parts, extra munitions, and other equipment for the repair and maintenance of starfighters. The staff of this area are newer pilot recruits, mandatory staff, droids, and any recruit serving penance for disobeying a commanding officer.

Another module of the naval academy is the command office. Very small, this is where the leaders of the [[Clan Plagueis Fleet|Plagueis Naval Forces]] coordinate the academy and other matters of the Navy on Sigil 2. It is also here that the Jedi serving the Consul are housed, sending their dark orders to those ignorant to and untrained in the Force.

Finally, the smallest module is a communications tower on the side of the academy. This is maintained by two Naval staff at all times, receiving transmissions from the Summits, other installations, and the PASF.

===Plagueis Special Operations Facility===

Located in Zone 7, this facility is placed atop one of the larger plateaus in the Zone. The PSOF is, in itself, rather minimalist, consisting of small areas for equipment and supply storage as well as a simplistic bunk area for those few specially-trained recruits that make their way here. While it is a minimalist structure, it is streamlined for efficiency.

Appearing to be one large bunker, the facility is divided into five sections, each for its own purpose. The north section is the bunks, a room of beds built into small indents in the walls. Each bunk consists of a sleeping pallet and a drawer for possessions, kept small and mostly empty by Special Forces.

The section immediately west of the bunks serves as an armoury. Here, one can find various combat lockers and containers holding varieties of specialized weaponry never used by the typical rank-and-file grunts, as well as standard equipment for more general usage. Also held in the armoury are the various suits that Special Forces use in battle, depending on the situation.

The eastern section is the mess hall. Here, food is prepared to deliver maximum nutrition while not wasting anything or being overly unhealthy. As such, food here is typically tasteless, and the Special Forces tend to regulate eating times along with everything else.

The south-eastern section of this area is the practice room. Here, recruits into the Special Forces are typically drilled on combat, both armed and unarmed. In between exercises, the Special Forces commonly spar here, as it gives them something to do besides merely sitting around and waiting for things to happen. As most exercises are kept outside, in the gorges and canyons of Zone 7, this room is either for recreational sparring or for the greener recruits of the Special Forces.

The south-western section of the facility is a bathing facility kept minimal to the last. Special Forces have five standard minutes of hot water to clean themselves before the shower shuts off, and a retinal scanner ensures that the same recruit uses the showers once a day. Also, special disinfectant showers are necessary for whenever the recruits discover a new area or venture into the jungle.

The final and most-hidden aspect of the facility is a small shield generator that encompasses the facility and surrounding area in an anti-bombardment shield. This makes a ground assault necessary for the enemy in the event of an attack, using the unpredictable terrain as a two-pronged attack on the enemy. Heavy equipment and machinery becomes useless, while the Special Forces that call the terrain home use their home field advantage to kill enemies with guerrilla tactics.

===Plagueis Automated Surveillance Facility===

The PASF is an entirely automated facility, run by computers and droids. Its mechanisms coordinate with satellites placed in orbit around the planet to store and make sense of the data captured in imagery, which is sent to the Dark Tower via relayed communications on a weekly basis. The facility also uses cameras and other sensory equipment to observe, but not alert, the organisms of the Force-dead Vong jungle.

The PASF is a very small facility. It consists primarily of a communications array, accessible to living staff in times of emergency by way of a crawlspace that leads into the smaller room. Inside, a team of up to five droids consisting usually of astromech droids monitor and control transmissions. A translator unit is usually in this facility to interpret and translate transmissions to basic should they be of alien origin.

The next feature of the facility is a small attachment for observation of the jungle. Using several cameras and sensors, photographs and recordings of the jungle are taken and sent to an analysis team on a weekly basis by the droids running the observatory.

The final feature of the PASF is a repair bay with specialized repair droids that handle any damages to equipment or mechanized staff. In the worst circumstances, the door used to enter is fully useable by sentient organisms to conduct manual maintenance. Like the observatory, the repair bay is linked into the communications array.

==Landmarks==

===Si’Tilk===

The abandoned fortress of the Yuuzhan Vong on Sigil 2, Si’Tilk is currently the most remarkable feat of Vong technology on the planet. While most or all of the creatures and plant life on the world’s surface have been Shaped in one way or another, Si’Tilk is an amalgamation of multiple organisms working together to function similarly to a technological facility. It will hopefully be conquered and repurposed by [[Clan Plagueis]].

===Ruins of Ash Citadel===

While, in theory, the world’s cities and facilities should be molten into the shifted surface of the planet, Ash Citadel was within the range that was soon Vongformed by the Vong. While it has clearly been obliterated, the quickly-stabilized terrain did not melt and shift as the rest of the world did, and satellite photography shows a distortion in the thickness of the jungle. This indicates that something is left, and any well-attuned Jedi on the planet’s surface can feel the screams of agony that paint it as a landmark in the Force among Force-dead flora and fauna. Hopefully, it can be rebuilt.

===City Ruins===

While at present we do not know which city this is due to the shifting of the planet’s surface in the wake of the Vong’s evacuation, the ruins within Zone 4 are definitely still somewhat intact and are notable as a landmark both in the Force and on satellite photography.

===Giant Yorik Spire===

Perhaps as a side-effect of the rain that poured down on Sigil 2 following the bombardment, one spire of yorik coral has grown far larger than others of its kind. However, by the shape of it, it was the beginning of a Yuuzhan Vong ship being produced. Certain observations by orbital photography have shown what seem to be wildlife and plant life growing out of the spire, as well as entering and leaving it, suggesting it may in fact be hollow.

===Crash Site===

Recent photography of Zone 9 have shown what appears to be a crashed CR90 Corvette, or similar model of ship, protruding from the landscape. The bridge of the ship seems to be pulverized, with the rest of the ship lying on its side in a large crater. It is unknown whether whoever piloted the ship survived, but it is certainly a site for future exploration.

===Graveyard of Souls===

A slang term used by the military of Plagueis, the Graveyard of Souls refers to an area where Jedi have identified a large number of echoes in the Force, screaming imprints left by an unknown group of dead within the Vong jungle. This could be the last of the former resistance movement on the planet, the ruins of a city, or some other civilization scar. However, it is possible for decently strong Jedi to feel it more than a Zone away from the jungle, and will be studied when it is found.

===Di Plagia Monument===

Built in Zone 1, the Di Plagia Monument is a large, square stone base with a statue of the current Consul of Plagueis placed atop of it, with an inscription that reads “The Throne of Diadem will be ours once more”. It is used as a point of reverence by the Jedi and military of Plagueis, as well as a monument to those that died of the initial assault on the planet. Finally, a secret emergency beacon is hidden within the base of the statue. This can be activated as a last-ditch effort, should all else fail in defending the planet.

===Strange Settlement===

While not populated by the Yuuzhan Vong, smaller, reptilian creatures that appear to be sentient occupy a group of organic structures. Their function and purpose is unknown, but they are definitely organized and working toward a goal. Future investigation is a must, for these may be servants of the Vong left behind.

==Political Outlook==

Sigil 2 is at present deemed as “Officially restricted” by Plagueian political leaders in Jusadih. No unauthorized presence is allowed on the world’s surface. However, it is secretly used by Plagueis for a number of training and other endeavours that must never reach the eye of the Republic, who still hold a treaty with Jusadih’s new leaders. As such, those outside the Brotherhood that know of Sigil 2’s use are quickly eliminated. Political presence on the system’s “dirty little secret” is strictly minimal, nearly non-existent, ruled only by the scant few Jedi left on the world.

===Military Presence===

In contrast to the scant politics, the military usage of Sigil 2 is paramount to the success of Clan Plagueis. It is here that the military of the Clan is trained, with only the Intelligence branch of the world left on Kapsina. With the stabilization and habitation of at least some of the Zones under investigation, even this branch will be transferred to Sigil 2. It is within the military that any real political power rests.

While Jedi representatives control the wishes of the Summits, Plagueis military and naval leaders form the de facto rulers of the planet. Military personnel gain standing and importance as they gain rank, ordering their subordinates as if they were in a permanent, though dull, wartime situation. Until more permanent government is established, this is the only command structure on the world.

All military and navy personnel that are not assigned to active duty call this world home, outside of leaves of absence where they are sworn to secrecy. However, this is largely unnecessary as most of the military consists of conscripted refugees of the Vong’s merciless crusade of domination. As such, many of the personnel refuse leaves and call the world their permanent home as they have nowhere else to go.

Jaecyn is a [[Protector]] from house [[Exar Kun]] of [[Clan Plagueis]]. He is a very passionate Sith, bent on the revenge of his parents and the supposed death of his youth sweetheart Tira to the Vong invasion. His anger is near unparalleled when it comes to fighting the Vong.

='''The Remnant Past...'''=

[[Image:dantooineplains.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]Jaecyn remembered the gentle warmth of the sun rolling over the fields of grass. He had been working on his father’s Land Speeder with him late into the afternoon, until his mother called him into their small hut of a home. Jaecyn thought nothing of it and continued his twiddling with the speeders flux capacitor whenever his father came running out gesturing for him to come inside.

Jaecyn put down his tools, thinking that it was nothing that important…until he heard an explosion far off in the distance, followed by more and more. Jaecyn’s eyes went from his father to his best friend Tira, several hundred feet away cresting the hilltop.

He specifically remembered not worrying about himself or his parents, but whether his friend from birth would be okay. He got up and began running as fast as he could towards her hut several hundred feet away, though he stopped suddenly when it exploded outright, sending debris and such scattering across the once tranquil plains.

In that moment Jaecyn remembered feeling the darkest of feelings coming over him. He felt as though a star had gone supernova and the shock wave ridden his veins all the way though. With an outburst of a scream, a wave emitted from his body flattening nearby tall grass.

He didn’t remember much after that only that he had passed out. He remembered the dream that followed though. He remembered seeing Tira’s beautiful face. He remembered planning on walking towards her home that night, flowers in hand. He was going to take her out for her 17th birthday and ask her for the honor to be her boyfriend. The dream began to get darker; she began to drift away from him and was suddenly engulfed in fire, screaming for him to help. He tried but he couldn’t and suddenly he awoke with a start.

He remembered waking up to being dragged away from the ensuing explosions that shattered the tranquility that was Jaecyn’s world. His parents had been dragging him away from Tira’s, towards the docking bay not far off.

Jaecyn remembered trying to fight them, trying to get to Tira’s hut to see if she was alright but he was far too worn out to attempt it. He also recalled seeing Jedi running in the opposite direction that they were going, their blue and green lightsabers flashing light across the landscape.

Jaecyn was finally let go of in the hangar as his parents moved towards their personal yacht, a J-Type Star Skiff. They gestured for Jaecyn to get inside, but were cut short when the battle spilled over into the hangar. The Vong Warriors, disgustingly grotesque, rushed in their amphistaffs coming alive and slicing his father multiple times, before he fell over in a bloody heap.

He would move towards his mom before she suffered the same fate. His anger began to build once more but a nearby explosion rocked them off their balance long enough for Jaecyn to move into the vessel and ignite the engines.
The ship began to rock as he pushed the throttle forward. It lurched forward as it took off and rocketed upwards, He could barely see, tears streaming down his eyes. He saw flashes of brilliant red and green flashing across the sky and the hull of the ship before it rocked forward with a mighty burst and his head hid the control panel, everything went dark.

==''The Academy of Shadows and Delusions of Grandeur''==

He was a bit nervous at first, knowing that what he was getting into was a life commitment towards the malevolence that was associated with being a Dark Jedi…a Sith. He couldn’t forgive the Vong for what they had done. Nor did he make any attempt at it. He wanted revenge; he wanted to kill them all.
[[Image:Arcanum.jpg|150px|left|thumb|The ''Arcanum,'' the mobile Shadow Academy]]
He remembered waking up aboard the Arcanum in a relative state of shock. He had been badly injured in his escape from Dantooine, but somehow he seemed relatively in good health, a nice sized scar cresting his chest from where shrapnel was lodged.

The first several days were a bit of a blur, he remembered doing extreme measures of training in heat and freeze controlled climate rooms. He had taken a class that had expanded on his knowledge of Broken Gate and furthered his skill in Hapan, eventually evolving into the ancient skill of what is known as Jakelian.

He also began studying Astronomy, the war strategy of Capital Starships, the variants of Starfighters, and even the economics of Transports and Freighters, earning a Dark Maven in the area of Flight.

The knowledge he was taking in made things seem to drip together, days became weeks and weeks, months. Suddenly he was standing before his new master…ready to begin his journey to becoming a Dark Jedi Knight.

='''The Ninth Great Jedi War: ''Unification'''''=

<center>'''''"They had forced me off my home planet, killed my parents, killed Tira...I could never forgive them for what they had done. But now...they've taken my real home. They've slain countless of my family, my dark brothers. I shall not let them slip away again! They shall not receive mercy or even the courtesy of a quick death. They will die painfully, screaming...drowning in their own blood next to their friends...then they will receive a similar ending..."'''''</center>

==The Reclamation of Antei==

Jaecyn remembered looking out the window of the Atrum Pars II, Antei far below them. The hatred burning from the countless lives the Vong had taken stirred up memories he’d rather not remember. He closed his eyes and focused his mind, calming himself. It would seem as if everything would slow down and become clearer to him.
[[Image:antei.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

He moved away from the window, down the long metallic hallway that ran through the ship like a highway. He walked past several elevators before finding the one he was looking for. This elevator required a specific code to be accessed, one which he knew. He punched it in, the doors shot open and he stood inside. After a moment the doors hissed shut and it moved upwards. It continued for about a minute before stopping near the top of the bridge. The doors would shoot open and he would step out into a briefing room, a briefing room for Exar’s Shadow.

Jaecyn recognized some of the younger members, such as the short form of the Flight Leaders Guardian Octavia Kuga standing at the front, leaning over the holo-panel and looking at the map of the main Antei installation. Next to her would be the Dark Jedi Knight Koga Kage. He was easily recognizable by the blonde streaks that veined through his brown hair and one of the only Dark Jedi to wear glasses. He stood with his hands on his waist, his Exar’s Shadow battle armor just underneath his robe.

In the far corner of the room would be the strange looking Krath Priest, Ood Bnar. His thick root like hair hung down his shoulders and over his cloak. His arms were crossed as he listened. Across the holo-table, stood Dark Jedi Knight and Lieutenant of the Plagueis Fleet, Kara Rohana. He had recognized her as seeing her in the hangar several days ago. She was listening intently to what was being said. Thus the last 4 were sitting in the respective seats surrounding the table, Jedi Hunter Brema Sedul Nekaka, Guardian Mehrunes Dagon, Arch Priest Cipher K’oranian Isradia, and Dark Jedi Knight Yadar Shyk.

It was then that Jaecyn realized he was the youngest and the weakest of everyone in the room. He quickly and quietly slipped in, moving next to Kara and crossing his arms. On the holo panel was a recording of their Consul, Braecen Kaeth. He was moving around the panel showing the movements of the other clans, until finally he began with their assignment. “''Alright, this is where Exar’s Shadow comes in. You will descend in ‘Swooping Clawbird’, our Sentinel-Class landing craft…''” At those words, Jaecyn’s mind immediately jumped to the structure of the
[[Image:INT.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]ship. ‘38 Meters long, Class 1.0 Hyperdrive rating. 2 Forward and 2 aft shield generators, onboard navi-computer, 8 retractable laser cannons, 2 concussion missile launchers, 4 missiles in each if it’s the standard load. 1 retractable Ion Cannon turret and 2 retractable repeating blaster cannon turrets’

He shrugged, the ship would be sufficient enough to get them on the surface in one piece. Though he would much like to get his hands on one of the Rebel B-Wings and modify it to his own liking.He felt a nudge against his shoulder and the eyes of Kara upon him. She knew he was zoning out. He focused more on what Braecen was on what he was saying. “''Once on the ground, you will break up into pairs of 2 and scout the Hall of the Immortal, there will be a larger force behind you, which will be most of your other brethren, assisted by various elements of the Iron throne. Remember this is reconnaissance; do not engage the enemy unless it is absolutely necessary. Braecen Out.''”

With that the transmission ended and the group stared at each other. Finally Kara spoke up, “''Seems easy enough…''” she said with a slight malevolent sneer on her face.

<center><strong>To Be Continued...</strong></center>
== ''Chasing a Ghost'' ==
Jaecyn’s eyes moved towards the blinking red light, signaling an incoming transmission, on the cockpit control board of the Sentinel-Class Landing Craft. His eyebrow lifted slightly, unsure of why a transmission would be coming to the Clawbird in the middle of a battle. He shrugged off the possible deception and accepted the transmission by flipping the receive switch next to it.

“I remember now, I remember the last thing my parents said to me. For my dad it was something like, ''Make sure that flux capacitor is tightened correctly''. For my mother it was somewhere along the lines of ''Tira was looking for you, have you gone to see her today?''. The comments so small and trivial to the normal person, not until you lose them do you realize that nothing is trivial." <br>

Jaecyn put down his tools, thinking that it was nothing that important…until he heard an explosion far off in the distance, followed by more and more. Jaecyn’s eyes went from his father to his best friend Tira, several hundred feet away cresting the hilltop.

He specifically remembered not worrying about himself or his parents, but whether his friend from birth would be okay. He got up and began running as fast as he could towards her hut several hundred feet away, though he stopped suddenly when it exploded outright, sending debris and such scattering across the once tranquil plains.

In that moment Jaecyn remembered feeling the darkest of feelings coming over him. He felt as though a star had gone supernova and the shock wave ridden his veins all the way though. With an outburst of a scream, a wave emitted from his body flattening nearby tall grass.

He didn’t remember much after that only that he had passed out. He remembered the dream that followed though. He remembered seeing Tira’s beautiful face. He remembered planning on walking towards her home that night, flowers in hand. He was going to take her out for her 17th birthday and ask her for the honor to be her boyfriend. The dream began to get darker; she began to drift away from him and was suddenly engulfed in fire, screaming for him to help. He tried but he couldn’t and suddenly he awoke with a start.

He remembered waking up to being dragged away from the ensuing explosions that shattered the tranquility that was Jaecyn’s world. His parents had been dragging him away from Tira’s, towards the docking bay not far off.

Jaecyn remembered trying to fight them, trying to get to Tira’s hut to see if she was alright but he was far too worn out to attempt it. He also recalled seeing Jedi running in the opposite direction that they were going, their blue and green lightsabers flashing light across the landscape.

Jaecyn was finally let go of in the hangar as his parents moved towards their personal yacht, a J-Type Star Skiff. They gestured for Jaecyn to get inside, but were cut short when the battle spilled over into the hangar. The Vong Warriors, disgustingly grotesque, rushed in their amphistaffs coming alive and slicing his father multiple times, before he fell over in a bloody heap.

He would move towards his mom before she suffered the same fate. His anger began to build once more but a nearby explosion rocked them off their balance long enough for Jaecyn to move into the vessel and ignite the engines.
The ship began to rock as he pushed the throttle forward. It lurched forward as it took off and rocketed upwards, He could barely see, tears streaming down his eyes. He saw flashes of brilliant red and green flashing across the sky and the hull of the ship before it rocked forward with a mighty burst and his head hid the control panel, everything went dark.

==''The Academy of Shadows and Delusions of Grandeur''==

He was a bit nervous at first, knowing that what he was getting into was a life commitment towards the malevolence that was associated with being a Dark Jedi…a Sith. He couldn’t forgive the Vong for what they had done. Nor did he make any attempt at it. He wanted revenge; he wanted to kill them all.

He remembered waking up aboard the Arcanum in a relative state of shock. He had been badly injured in his escape from Dantooine, but somehow he seemed relatively in good health, a nice sized scar cresting his chest from where shrapnel was lodged.

The first several days were a bit of a blur, he remembered doing extreme measures of training in heat and freeze controlled climate rooms. He had taken a class that had expanded on his knowledge of Broken Gate and furthered his skill in Hapan, eventually evolving into the ancient skill of what is known as Jakelian.

He also began studying Astronomy, the war strategy of Capital Starships, the variants of Starfighters, and even the economics of Transports and Freighters, earning a Dark Maven in the area of Flight.

The knowledge he was taking in made things seem to drip together, days became weeks and weeks, months. Suddenly he was standing before his new master…ready to begin his journey to becoming a Dark Jedi Knight.

<center>'''''"They had forced me off my home planet, killed my parents, killed Tira...I could never forgive them for what they had done. But now...they've taken my real home. They've slain countless of my family, my dark brothers. I shall not let them slip away again! They shall not receive mercy or even the courtesy of a quick death. They will die painfully, screaming...drowning in their own blood next to their friends...then they will receive a similar ending..."'''''</center>

==The Reclamation of Antei==

Jaecyn remembered looking out the window of the Atrum Pars II, Antei far below them. The hatred burning from the countless lives the Vong had taken stirred up memories he’d rather not remember. He closed his eyes and focused his mind, calming himself. It would seem as if everything would slow down and become clearer to him.
[[Image:antei.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

He moved away from the window, down the long metallic hallway that ran through the ship like a highway. He walked past several elevators before finding the one he was looking for. This elevator required a specific code to be accessed, one which he knew. He punched it in, the doors shot open and he stood inside. After a moment the doors hissed shut and it moved upwards. It continued for about a minute before stopping near the top of the bridge. The doors would shoot open and he would step out into a briefing room, a briefing room for Exar’s Shadow.

Jaecyn recognized some of the younger members, such as the short form of the Flight Leaders Guardian Octavia Kuga standing at the front, leaning over the holo-panel and looking at the map of the main Antei installation. Next to her would be the Dark Jedi Knight Koga Kage. He was easily recognizable by the blonde streaks that veined through his brown hair and one of the only Dark Jedi to wear glasses. He stood with his hands on his waist, his Exar’s Shadow battle armor just underneath his robe.

In the far corner of the room would be the strange looking Krath Priest, Ood Bnar. His thick root like hair hung down his shoulders and over his cloak. His arms were crossed as he listened. Across the holo-table, stood Dark Jedi Knight and Lieutenant of the Plagueis Fleet, Kara Rohana. He had recognized her as seeing her in the hangar several days ago. She was listening intently to what was being said. Thus the last 4 were sitting in the respective seats surrounding the table, Jedi Hunter Brema Sedul Nekaka, Guardian Mehrunes Dagon, Arch Priest Cipher K’oranian Isradia, and Dark Jedi Knight Yadar Shyk.

It was then that Jaecyn realized he was the youngest and the weakest of everyone in the room. He quickly and quietly slipped in, moving next to Kara and crossing his arms. On the holo panel was a recording of their Consul, Braecen Kaeth. He was moving around the panel showing the movements of the other clans, until finally he began with their assignment. “''Alright, this is where Exar’s Shadow comes in. You will descend in ‘Swooping Clawbird’, our Sentinel-Class landing craft…''” At those words, Jaecyn’s mind immediately jumped to the structure of the ship. ‘38 Meters long, Class 1.0 Hyperdrive rating. 2 Forward and 2 aft shield generators, onboard navi-computer, 8 retractable laser cannons, 2 concussion missile launchers, 4 missiles in each if it’s the standard load. 1 retractable Ion Cannon turret and 2 retractable repeating blaster cannon turrets’

He shrugged, the ship would be sufficient enough to get them on the surface in one piece. Though he would much like to get his hands on one of the Rebel B-Wings and modify it to his own liking.He felt a nudge against his shoulder and the eyes of Kara upon him. She knew he was zoning out. He focused more on what Braecen was on what he was saying. “''Once on the ground, you will break up into pairs of 2 and scout the Hall of the Immortal, there will be a larger force behind you, which will be most of your other brethren, assisted by various elements of the Iron throne. Remember this is reconnaissance; do not engage the enemy unless it is absolutely necessary. Braecen Out.''”

With that the transmission ended and the group stared at each other. Finally Kara spoke up, “''Seems easy enough…''” she said with a slight malevolent sneer on her face.

==Notes: '''Acolyte'''==
“I remember now, I remember the last thing my parents said to me. For my dad it was something like, ''Make sure that flux capacitor is tightened correctly''. For my mother it was somewhere along the lines of ''Tira was looking for you, have you gone to see her today?''. The comments so small and trivial to the normal person, not until you lose them do you realize that nothing is trivial." <br>
