Krayiss System

Template:Infobox

The Krayiss System holds five planets in total, one of which being one of the five sacred Sith planets, Krayiss II. The Nache Belfia, a hyperlane that passes through each sacred planet, kept the system connected to the Empire should the knowledge it holds ever be required. A great Sith Temple was built upon this world, a library of Sith rituals and ancient magic and although it is now devoid of life it beckons to the curiosity of many like moths to the flame.

Krayiss Prime

At the centre of the Krayiss system is Krayiss Prime. The star is small and cool by stellar standards, glowing a deep orange. Had Krayiss Prime been much larger, Krayiss II, which lies in its habitable zone, would be considered too hot for most life to exist. Scans indicate that Krayiss Prime is around halfway through its supply of hydrogen, giving it many more millions of years before entering the next stage of stellar evolution.

Krayiss I

Krayiss I, is a tiny, rocky world that is far too close to the star to make any exploration possible. It is completely devoid of any useable resources, lacking even an atmosphere. The proximity to the star means that it is not even hit heavily by comets and meteors.

Krayiss II

Main article: Krayiss II

Krayiss II is a barren, rocky world. However it is clear that there have been signs of life in the past. It is certainly habitable, given it is near the centre of the system’s habitable range. The only major drawback is that the planet lacks water.

Asteroids

Close to Krayiss II is a small asteroid field. Given the relative lack of density of asteroids when compared to other asteroid fields, it is suspected that they were created from the collision of two smaller planetoid objects early in the Krayiss system's history. Few of these asteroids have been shown to yield anything useful.

Krayiss III

Krayiss III is an unusual entity. It is a gas giant that appears to possess no satellites. Initial attempts to scout the atmosphere for useful materials resulted in the probe being crushed under the immense atmospheric pressure. No further recon missions to the planet are planned, as what few results it returned indicated little to no useful gasses, other than a small quantity of water vapour.

Krayiss IV & V

Krayiss IV and V are virtually twin planets. Both are icy, middle-sized planets, many millions of miles from their nearest neighbour. The main difference between the two is tectonic activity.

Krayiss IV is totally inert, lacking even volcanoes, or other signs that it ever possessed such activity. Its sister world, on the other hand, is covered in volcanoes that constantly spout thick, black smoke into the atmosphere. The smoke cover is thick enough that it is nearly impossible to land a conventional spacecraft upon the surface. Probe scans indicate large amounts of water ice that may be useful for supplying extended operations on Krayiss II.

Trade Routes

The Krayiss System's position in Sith Space.

Nache Bhelfia

The Nache Bhelfia is a hyperlane trading route that cuts through Sith Space.

Once linking the five Sith worlds of Ziost, Khar Delba, Rhelg, Krayiss II, Korriban, Ch'hodos, and Nicht Kar, the route now enables easy navigation through Sith Space for the Brotherhood's combined fleet.

The Nache Bhelfia intersects four main hyperlane trade routes, thus enabling the Brotherhood to move swiftly through the Outer Rim Territories. These lanes are the Daragos Lane, Kamate Krote, Zorfe Trete, and the Kamate Aegit.

This hyperlane trade route is imperative to the Brotherhood's manoeuvrability through the Outer Rim Territories, and is part of the reason for the importance of securing Krayiss II for the Brotherhood.

The Hydian Way

The Hydian Way is a super-hyperroute, accessible to the Brotherhood via The Shroud.

This super-hyperroute does not actually intersect the Krayiss System. Instead, it passes nearby, allowing ships and vessels to exit the hyperspace route and enter the system with ease. This facilitated trading throughout the galaxy for the ancient Sith colonials of Krayiss II prior to their extinction in 14,000 BBY.

This super-hyperroute has been coined the "artery of the Galaxy". As such, securing the Krayiss System would facilitate wider Brotherhood travel and/or expansion.
