Revision as of 17:40, 12 February 2013
The Nfolgai system is a forgotten Star system located within the Stygian Caldera in the Esstran sector of the Outer Rim Territories. The system was once a haven for the exiled Jedi of the Hundred-year Darkness, the world of Nfolgai itself being a bastion where they could gather to study Bogan and the ways of the Force. Of distinctive note within the system is the massive blue star Nsuka, the Nfolgai Belt and a single comet of note which passes through the system regularly known as Zinthin; this comet is said to be the herald of disaster on Nfolgai proper.
History
The Nfolgai system is relatively young compared to the bulk of Sith Space at a few hundred billion years, it has had an exhaustive history distinctively marked with the first incursion of the exiled Jedi from the Second Great Schism. As these first exiles found the harbour of what would become known as Sith Space, the Nfolgai system became home to the scholars and those who thirsted for knowledge amongst the newfound Sith order. While the system itself remained largely shrouded in secrecy, it is known that Nfolgai itself was home to Sorzus Syn, the Sith Lady responsible for writing the original Sith Code. Following the Empire's loss in the Great Hyperspace War, Nfolgai and the bulk of Sith Space became forgotten, lost to time and memory. It is unknown if this territory was ever reclaimed during the rise of the Sith Empire which followed during the Cold War. As time and history moved on much of Nfolgai and Sith Space became vastly unknown until the rise of the One Sith, a new Order which sought to restore the power of the Sith through subtlty and subterfuge. During their rise within Sith Space, a Sith Lord by the name of Yodb Nan was instructed to survey Nfolgai and the mausoleum of Sorzus Syn. As the Sith Lord performed as instructed the One Sith launched an offensive against their greatest foe, the Dark Brotherhood, an offensive which proved folly as the Brotherhood launched their own counter-offensive starting with the Krayiss and Nfolgai systems.
Astrography
Nsuka
Nsuka is a class A main sequence star serving as the anchor point to the Nfolgai system; it is a brilliant and massive blue star which like most class A stars emits dangerously large levels of infrared radiation causing a large majority of the innermost orbits to be devoid of life and inhospitable. While the star is young compared to most of its kin within Sith Space at only a few hundred million years, its system is well estabished with seven individual orbits, the closest of which is a debris disk which was unable to estabilsh body with its own orbit. Given its current state and size, it is predicted by Brotherhood astrologists that this star will eventually cool and settle into the state of a Red Giant; though that is beyond the many lifetimes of a great deal of those seeking to capture the system as their own.
Nfolgai Belt
The Nfolgai Belt is a circumstellar disk or debris disk maintaining the primary orbit around Nsuka; it is comprised of a varied degree of small rocks ranging up to dwarf planets. Most of this debris was left over from the system's development and had been unable to form larger bodies or establish their own orbital pattern. As much of this orbit receives direct bombardment of Nsuka's infrared radiation, the disk itself is large enough to contain the bulk of this radiation which renders most of the objects within uninhabitable but allows planets such as Nfolgai and beyond to support life. Local scans confirm large mineral deposits within numerous bodies within the belt, but also confirm absolutely zero life.

Nfolgai is a treacherous, tidally locked world diseased with the Dark Side of the Force. Because the planet is tidally locked it only presents it's southern hemisphere to the local star of Nsuka.
Due to the planet's steep axial tilt the northern hemisphere receives little light, thus making it relatively barren of plant life and largely desolate with sweeping mountain ranges; volcanism is rampant and geothermal sites are relatively abundant. The lack of flora and active tectonic plates make the northern hemisphere ideal for mining endeavors due to its interestingly relative abundance of heavy metals and radioactive elements. At least one site in the northern hemisphere acted as a sort of natural fission reactor in the past where water penetrating hydrothermal veins of uranium and thorium has acted as a neutron moderator and the system has cycled for over 1 million years naturally. This unique and natural erosion has created an area of easily mined enriched uranium ore.
While its rather devoid of life in the north, the southern hemisphere is dotted with jungles, swamps and eroded mountain ranges. The flora of the southern hemisphere contains exceptionally high metallic content similar to the planet of Myrkr; it is this same metallic content which renders radar and scanners useless.
Located in the jungles of the southern hemisphere, Sorzus Syn's mausoleum remains a mystery within Sith Lore. It is unknown if the great Sith Lord was ever entombed within the facility or if it merely served as a house of power for her meditations. Protected from aerial approach, the mausoleum is surrounded by heavy forest canopy and is carved out of the base of a mountainside. A great expanse within the mountain has been removed to house focusing chambers, tombs and the private alchemical studies of Sorzus Syn and otherSith Lords.
The mausoleum is defended by the enraged and mutated descendants of the slaves who erected the structure. Mrlssi and Draethos prowl the jungles surrounding the temple and crawl through unknown passages within. Armed with rudimentary force powers, telepathy, and crude weapons the Draethos provide the greater challenge of the indigenous aggressors. Additional traps and ancient wards protect the mausoleum's interior. Rumors exist of other abominations created to destroy even the greatest of Force Users looking to steal Sorzus Syn's secrets.
Discovered in 35 ABY by the One Sith, the Interdictor-class Destroyer Render lies in the northern hemisphere of Nfolgai. The cause of the destroyer's crash on the planet's surface remains unknown, but the Captain of the ship did an exceptional job in preserving much of the structure as it crash-landed.
Abandoned over 3600 years ago, the Render is permanently crippled. The vessel's fate is etched into the surface of Nfolgai. Destroyed power cores, a fractured hull, and over 3,000 years of time have turned the ship from a mighty destroyer to a vast warren of Mrlssi descendants. Maddened by the Force, the bird-like creatures defend their home with an approach only definable as insanity.
One Sith expedition teams have breached the destoyer's surface hunting for artifacts and have returned with the belief that the Render does possess designs for ancient weaponry and armor.
While originally intended as a world for scholars and scientists, as the events of the Great Hyperspace War began to falter the planet soon shifted its attention towards being a tomb world for the Sith who would remain behind; trying to preseve their history and work for future generations who would inevitably follow in their footsteps.
Given the planet's historical significance, the One Sith themselves were present on Nfolgai since at least 35 ABY searching for anything of value to their cause. In the following year the planet became a target of the Dark Brotherhood following a failed attempt against them by the One Sith. The system itself was highly contested not just between the waring factions but also between Clan Naga Sadow, House Plagueis, House Scholae Palatinae and House Tarentum of the Brotherhood; each securing their own landing zones and Forward Operational Bases in different sectors on the planet. Their cooperation during the operation had been fragile at best with limited outbursts outside each encampment, but overall these frustrations did not disrupt their primary mission. Such cooperation was seen trying to claim the Mausoleum, in regular patrols of the system and in the orbital blockade preventing One Sith reinforcements.
