History
The XQ5 Platform was acquired by Taldryan after the Seventh Great Jedi War. With the Iron Throne secure and an expanded Dark Council waiting for direction, the Grand Master started his renewed tenure by commissioning the reconstruction of the Dark Hall. He also commissioned Dark Council Embassies to be built in each clan system. The Grand Master announced to the Consuls that the Dark Council would place in each system a Platform to be used by visiting Dark Council representatives, but to be run and controlled by each Clan. Taldryan took advantage of the opportunity and positioned the platform orbiting their home world, Karufr. Designated as Citadel Alpha, the facility is used by the House for business transactions and as a short-range defense platform.
