"What is done here will live forever."

―Okemi

For more than 5,000 years, Antei has been a source of great power in the Dark Side of the Force. Dark Brotherhood historians divide the history of Antei into three distinct periods. The first period named Triumvirate, the second named Ruin, and the third named The Final Order.

The Triumvirate is named in honor of the union of Okemi, Tiamat, and Ferran. It begins in 5050 BBY marking Okemi’s discovery of Antei and continues until 2950 BBY and the destruction of the Star Chamber. This period covers a remarkable time in Antei’s history where Okemi subjugated the population and created a Theocracy of the Dark Side. Krath Historians have identified the architectural style of this period to reflect those structures built in the Sith Empire, in particular the Temple structures still dotting Antei’s surface.

The second period named Ruin takes place immediately following the destruction of the Star Chamber dating in 2949 BBY and lasting until the rediscovery of Antei in 18 ABY. This is a period of intellectual and technological stagnation brought on by the cataclysmal destruction of the Star Chamber.

The third and last period, named The Final Order, begins with the rediscovery of Antei and continues to the present day. This period has been one of expansion and rebirth for the Antei system as the Star Chamber has once again returned.

History

Ten thousand years before the Battle of Yavin, Antei was a fertile world of jungle flora and sweeping grasslands. The planet was divided into two major continents separated by vast oceans. A sentient near-human species developed pre-hyperspace technology and formed settlements on both the northern and southern continents. These near-humans based their society on religion, worshiping their gods from temples scattered across the planet.

In 5050 BBY the Sith Warlord Okemi and his followers discovered the temples of Antei and crushed the near human species subjugating them into a society of slaves. Okemi created the Theocracy of Darkness and placed himself as the God-King of Antei. Based on the designs and architecture of Korriban and Ziost, Okemi used his slaves to expand upon their temples creating massive structures that focused the Dark Side of the Force.

In 2950 BBY the cataclysmal destruction of the Star Chamber resulted in climatic changes that turned the lush jungles and grasslands of Antei into desert wastelands. The once proud and technologically advanced followers of Okemi were forced into nomadic tribes of hunter-gatherers. These nomadic tribes fled the desolation and ruins of Antei’s great temples and sought out the few remaining fertile regions on the planet’s northern continent. It was there that Okemi’s followers would remain for thousands of years. This was a time of intellectual and technological stagnation. The technology the tribes did possess was a result of mishap; ships would occasionally find their way into the system and stay unable to escape. Thus, when the Brotherhood found Antei, there were some marks of technological advancement, but it was inferior to the Brotherhood’s own.

Eighteen years after the Battle of Yavin the Dark Jedi Brotherhood rediscovered Antei and the great ruins of Okemi’s dynasty. Under the guidance of Grand Master Firefox and then Jac Cotelin, the rebuilding of this once great planet has begun with the creation of the Dark Hall and the legendary Star Chamber. For the better part of six years, the Brotherhood lived in isolation, developing its forces, building its infrastructure and working politically to gain control of Antei. In 20 ABY, the Brotherhood violently moved for control of the sunside. Two years later, the remnants of Okemi’s followers capitulated to the Dark Brotherhood, uniting Antei for the first time in 2,000 years.

Geography

Narmar (Sunside)

Dominating the northern hemisphere of Antei is the continent of Narmar. The eastern region of Namar known as Zigara is the last fertile land left on Antei. It is here in the rich, fertile soil that the descendents of Okemi were forced to live after the destruction of the Star Chamber.

The western region of Namar houses two ancient temples built during the The Triumvirate period. Under the direction of Grand Master Firefox and Grand Master Cotelin, these temples have been turned over to the Sith and Krath Orders of the Dark Brotherhood.

The center of Narmar is a mountainous region known only as the Death Lands. The Dark Brotherhood built a prison facility in this region that no known sentient has ever returned from. Rumors exist stating the prison doubles as a facility of dark alchemical projects where Elders of the Brotherhood perfect ancient techniques of mutilation on prisoners.

Narmar is often referred to as the Sunside of Antei because it is not trapped under the cloak of ionized storms that plague southern Antei.

Adas (Shadow Lands)

The southern continent of Antei is named in honor of the ancient Sith King Adas who drove away the Rakata at the cost of his own life. Known as the Shadowlands, this region of Antei is trapped under a perpetual darkness created by ionized storms resulting from the Destruction of the Star Chamber.

Adas is the home of the Dark Hall of the Brotherhood. The Dark Hall is a massive complex that serves as the Headquarters and the seat of power of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Built on the foundation of Okemi’s personal temple, the Dark Hall radiates the Dark Side of the Force. It is here that the Grand Master and the Dark Council hold sway over the Brotherhood.

Located far to the south of the Dark Hall on the desolate plains of Adas is the Temple of Boyna. This structure was discovered by Dark Jedi Master Spears and was later claimed by the Obelisk Order. Since 18 ABY it has served as the Obelisk Command Center and as a training facility for lightsaber combat.

Unlike Narmar, Adas is barren of fertile land. Because of this, the Dark Brotherhood is reliant on other planets within the system to generate consumables. Adas is rich in mineral resources and has been excavated by the Dark Brotherhood’s industrial complex. Abundant supplies of cortosis and electrum deposits have been discovered in the Horeau region on the southern tip of the continent.

Du'San Boundary

The Du’san Boundary is located between the continent of Adas and Narmar. It marks the meeting location of the shadow side of Antei and the light side. In 20 ABY Grand Master Jac Cotelin formally authorized the opening of the Du’san Boundary and ushered in an era of Dark Brotherhood expansion across Antei.
