History

Post-Imperial Period

In 35 ABY Nfolgai, once again, attracted the attention of outsiders. A expedition of the One Sith, lead by the Duros Sith Lord Yobd Nan, landed on the planet. They immediately gained the attention of the “native” population: the remaining Mrlssi and Draethos tribes stalked the One Sith expedition. The former slave races, now savage and perfectly adapted to the planet, not to mention possessing an unusually strong connection to the Dark Side of the Force, intrigued the One Sith.

As they explored the planet, the expedition fought repeated battles with the savage tribesmen. The One Sith destroyed several pockets of the savage former slaves, but were weakened in the effort. Eventually, the expedition found what it had been after, the tomb of Sorzus Syn. By 36 ABY they had set up a base camp at the entrance to the tomb, but were still making preparations to enter the structure.

As these preparations neared their end a new threat appeared in the system: the combined forces of four of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood’s clans and houses (someone fill this in later), descended upon the Nfolgai System. The meager space force protecting the planet was swiftly brushed aside by the might of the Brotherhood. Within days troops were landing on the surface, vying, both with the One Sith and each other, for control of the world.

Geography

Deserts make up most of Nfolgai's surface

Nfolgai has a harsh climate and hazardous terrain. Over half of the world’s surface is desert, with many rainforest type valleys scattered throughout the mountain ranges. The equatorial region of Nfolgai consists of vast, high plateaus open to the north, and mountain chains on the east and west, with scorching hot lowlands beyond.

The mountains are a thick mass of overgrown jungles and forgotten ruins. The ground beneath is inhabited by dense, tangled growths of vines, shrubs and small trees. The vegetation is sufficiently dense and hinders movement of sentients and other species, requiring that travelers ‘cut’ their way through.

In the lower valleys, there are unforgiving rain forests with a humidity-factor of 90 percent. Restricting the exploration of many areas by the poor penetration of sunlight to ground level. Water is abundant here, most of the planet’s water sources are located in these areas.

Jungles of Nfolgai

Climate and Regions

The vast majority of Nfolgai's surface bares a dry, and desolate visage. With no shrubbery or vegetation to speak of, these hot desert climate regions stretch on for hundreds of kilometers of sweltering, windblown sand drifts and dunes, Sand storms and desert-tornadoes are normal weather patterns for these lands. Varying in temperature(averaging 40°c/45°f; regions vary and tend to be hotter in the summer), the deserts of this world almost meld together in a number of regions, becoming high altitude, cold-deserts(temperatures below freezing, with even dryer air than in the hot desert climates), and giving way to ice-lands(-28°c/-18°f) in it's mountainous Southern-Pole(providing a third of the planet's freshwater), and sub-zero(-50°c/-58°f) glacial-tundras in its frozen, Northern Polar ice-cap. Snow-storms can last weeks in the heart of the North, with a month-long blizzard being extreme but not entirely uncommon. The canopied jungles seperating parts of Nfolgai's arid plains do not harbor any comfortable temperatures to speak of either(40°c/104°f), but cool considerably after each sustained rainfall(30°c/86°f), frequent tropical lightning-storms and group-tornadoes holding exception to this rule(35°c/95°f, in most regions). With humidity-factors far beyond what would be considered temperate, every jungle in the Southern-Hemisphere maintains some sort of swampland or bogland, possessing further densely moist air; ranging from nearly-unbreatheable to unbreatheable, due to noxious fumes, and in some areas, toxic-gases. The cavernous regions beneath Nfolgai's jungle-plateaus, and occaisional volcanoes, bare unrecorded climates, and explorers would be advised to utilise bio-suits. The northern jungles give over to the cold deserts affore mentioned; these lands experience freezing-rains, sleet and hail.

Landmarks

Mausoleum of Sorzus Syn

Sorzus Syn's Mausoleum

While not the only mausoleum on the planet, the dominant landmark of the southern hemisphere is the monolithic Mausoleum of Sorzus Syn. Situated deep in the rain forests and frequently used as a camp for the tribal Mrlssi and Draethos species, the sharp pyramidal structure shares the architectural designs found on other Sith worlds like Ziost and Korriban. Carved into the sides of a mountain, its vast interior is littered with the corpses of explorers killed by the mausoleum-traps and snares.

Inside the Tomb

Render Crash Site

The Sith Interdictor Render

Deep in the southern polar regions of Nfolgai is an unusual site. Initial scans detected a variety of wreckage of a number of ships scattered through out a ten square kilometer area. At the center of this area is a rather remarkable wreck. Buried meters into the ice,searches revealed the nearly intact wreck of a Sith Interdictor Class Cruiser. Later examinations revealed this to be the cruiser Render.

Aerial images of the crash site

Initial attempts to explore the ancient vessel were met with frustration. Scans of the interior were inconclusive, likely due to the meters of ice and the latent Dark Side energies emanating from the ship. Probe droids sent in to investigate were destroyed without a trace. Thus far there are no indications as to what might lurk within the ancient hulk, but the wreck is still of great interest to Brotherhood researchers.
