Spoiler: OOC Information

This is the official documentation of all declassified assets of the Zotam Powerbase that is available on the public record. Declassified assets are available to anyone with a holonet connection and search for knowledge around the Zotam Powerbase. No announcement was made, they simply appeared quietly and over time.

Classified assets can only be accessed by the Dark Lord of Horuset, Lord Kalkoran or Sith Zarchas. Whilst on record, and acknowledged by the Dark Lord, they are not public knowledge unless the Dark Lord, Lord Kalkoran or Sith Zarchas directly give access.

Declassified Assets:

Spoiler: Echoy'la Slave Industry - Sernpidal Supply Line

Spoiler: Echoy'la Slave Holding Facility

Previously operating as a Slave Auction House, owned and operated by the Dar'Manda Clan by the name of Parjii, the Echoy'la Auction House was brought under Horuset occupation when Apprentice Zotam struck a deal with Clan Parjii and had them transfer ownership to him. Now, the facility is garrisoned by a combination of Kalkoran supplied Imperials and Sith Zarchas' own forces. The holding facility receives, and stores, all processed slaves and harvested minerals until they are collected by Kalkoran freighters and taken to Sernpidal.

This facility was gained during Zarchas' campaign against the traitorous Lord Tsailoth.

Spoiler: Gurtala Slave Processing Facility

The Gurtala Slave Processing Facility was previously occupied by minor a minor criminal organisation in a region of neutral space just outside of Imperial Space. The leader of the organisation was killed by Apprentice Zotam and replaced by a more agreeable subordinate who swore loyalty to him. It is now garrisoned by a combination of Sith Zarchas' forces and Kalkoran supplied Imperials.

The facility is nothing more than a large, expansive, hole in the ground with a secure facility built into it. The primary focus is on processing slaves through a combination of hard labour, sleep/food/water deprivation, and emotional torment. For example, if a particularly stubborn resident resists the process then they will witness their actions being the cause of an innocent soul being subject to the harsh conditions of the local terrain. Processed slaves are transported to the Echoy'la Holding Facility for later transportation.

This facility was gained during Zarchas' campaign against the traitorous Lord Tsailoth.

Spoiler: Slaver Gangs

Spoiler: The Mre'hayr Slaver Gangs

Originally operating as a cluster of separated, minor, organisations the Mre'hayr Slaver Gangs were persuaded into serving the Sernpidal supply chains through a combination of intimidation, persuasion and enticement. Now, the four gangs function as a single organisation and roam the lesser developed planets of neutral space and target small, undefended, settlements - capturing and transporting those unlucky souls to the affiliated processing facilities.

Total number of gangs and ships: 4.

The slaver gang's service, along with their shuttles, was secured during the Operation: Making the Chains.

Spoiler: Howling Shyracks Slaver Gangs

Originally serving as freelance criminals the Howling Shyracks were confronted by Sith Zynn and a strike team in the Artorias system where they were then convinced to serve the Horuset Powerbase, through Sith Zarchas, in order to receive protection and a steady supply of credits.

Total number of gangs and ships: 3

The slaver gang's service was secured in a Priority Besh mission, it was agreed with Sith Kelsa that they would best serve the Horuset Powerbase through Sith Zarchas' Echoy'la supply chain.

Spoiler: Specialised Slaves

Spoiler: Verpine Colony - Technical Specialist Slaves

A Verpine Colony is under construction that will see a new breed of slave bred and produced for Sernpidal. A small portion of the race are considered to be naturally 'intelligent' and have an aptitude for technical work, these slaves will be trained to work on more delicate, but not critical, aspects of Sernpidal's supply lines. The remainder of their number are considered to be less intelligent drones and, as such, will be used as simple slaves.

This facility is not yet fully operational and is still under construction. Any Verpine slaves that are in holding are kept at the other processing/holding facilities. An unsuitable habitat that hampers production.

The asteroid used for the facility was captured in the Operation: The Runaways - Part 1.

The Initial supply of Verpine used to establish the facility were captured in the Operation: The Runaways - Part 2.

Spoiler: Cybernetically Enhanced Slaves

Goraz Stirvon was an underground surgeon who conducted illegal operations to make 'modifications' to kidnap victims, slaves and other unfortunate souls. He was to be arrested by The Republic but was rescued at Sith Zarchas' command and convinced to work for the Horuset Powerbase. He was not talented enough to make advanced cybernetics for the war effort but he was more than capable of modifying a small number of slaves to increase their strength and durability. Approximately one in twenty of the slaves produced for Sernpidal bare these modifications, improving their output and reducing their disobedience.

Goraz Stirvon and his team were secured in the Operation: The Flesh is Weak

Spoiler: Echoy'la Ships

As of Echoy'la's last assessment, the lack of available logistics vessels is the primary limiting factor for increasing the supply chain's output.

Spoiler: Logistics Ships

Spoiler: Imperial Shuttles

A number of small Imperial shuttles are owned by Sith Zarchas and serve the Echoy'la slave industry. Their primary duty is the ferrying of assets to/from the holding and processing facilities.

Number of shuttles currently owned: 4

Two Imperial shuttles were gained during Sith Zarchas' campaign against the traitorous Lord Tsailoth.
One shuttle was gained by exchanging a G-class shuttle with the Horuset Logistic Division.

Spoiler: G-type light shuttle

The G-type light shuttle is a hyperdrive incapable vessel employed as an in-system transport in the Echoy'la supply chain. Their primary purpose is the ferrying of small amounts of cargo between facilities in-system and, where necessary, ferrying cargo back and forth between planets and larger cargo vessels for extra-system transportation.

The G-type light shuttles have been transferred from Battlegroup banshee as per the trade deal with Lord Angess Derron.

Spoiler: Herald Class Shuttle

The Herald-Class transport is a vessel that currently serves in the Sernpidal supply line. As a ship that is both armed and capable of carrying a reasonable amount of resources it's primary duty is transporting slaves from the Echoy'la supply chain's holding facilities to Sernpidal.

Number of transports currently owned: 1

The first Herald-Class transport was earned in the Operation, Simple Minds: Part 1

Spoiler: Security Ships

Spoiler: S-Class Light Star Cruiser - Horuset Supplied Vessel

S-Class Light Star Cruiser


After being appointed as Sith Commander of an S-Class Light Star Cruiser, from the Horuset Support Fleet- Atrum Logistics, Sith Zarchas has ordered the ship to redeploy to the Trakhnor System. Whilst stationed in the Trakhnor system Captain Timar Jonich has orders to engage in various war games and patrols to simultaneously prevent the crew from growing lazy and secure the frontier system from potential pirates and privateers.

The S-Class Light Star Cruiser will remain in the Trakhnor System until ordered elsewhere by Darth Horuset, Lord Kalkoran or Lord Saltaeon. The vessel is not owned by Sith Zarchas and he is merely the appointed commander of the vessel.

Spoiler: S-SC4 Bloodmark

A single S-SC4 Bloodmark Interceptor, piloted by pilots of Clan Parjii, is stationed in the hangar bay of the Echoy'la processing facility. This Interceptor was earned as a reward for the participation in a mission of great danger into Sithspawn tunnels alongside Lord Kalkoran.

Spoiler: Kalkoran Supplied Imperials

A total of 200 Imperials have been provided to Sith Zarchas, from Lord Kalkoran, for the sole purpose of securing his facilities and defending them from external interests - alongside the forces he has available to himself. The soldiers follow the orders of Lord Kalkoran, maintaining order, and can only be deployed by his express word. Sith Zarchas has no authority over these men, unless it concerns the security and operating of his facilities.

Spoiler: Sorcery Division Assets

Spoiler: Jaguadan Library

The Ancient Library on Jaguada is a site that was initially identified by Sith Tarimraand further cleared and explored by Sith Zarchas before being handed over to the IRS. When the IRS finished their work and left the research site, having taken everything of value from it, Sith Vipion ventured to the site and cleared it once more. The site is now garrisoned and patrolled by a small group of Sentinel VI Seried Battledroids that prevent any further infestations from taking hold.

Fueled by a Dark Side Nexus the site is home to a Sorcerous Ward which can regenerate, over time, after being dispelled. It is considered to be a 'safe' location for the practical training of Sith Sorcery without the usual threats of such ancient sites. It has become a personal project for Sith Zarchas to see various defence mechanisms, apparitions, wards and curses installed in the facility so that juvenile Sorcerers can use them for training purposes - whilst supervised.

The permission of Sith Zarchas or Darth Horuset is required to access the site.

The Library was secured in the following Operations, and a later mission lead by Sith Vipion:

Spoiler: Personal Assets

Spoiler: Stolen Republic Shuttles

A trio of stolen Republic shuttles are kept, and operated, by Sith Zarchas. Utilized for deep cover operations either on the Republic border or in Republic space itself.

Spoiler: Sentinel VI Series Battledroid

A number of battledroids have been secured from Sith Leive in order to secure various assets where biological garrisons would not be suitable. A total of sixty droids were acquired and, now owned by Sith Zarchas, garrison the mining facilities on Ziost and Oricon.

Classified Assets:

Spoiler: Clan Parjii

Clan Parjii are a clan of Dar'Manda who previously owned and operated the Echoy'la holding facility prior to swearing allegiance to the then Apprentice Zotam. Led by Aeltev Heshhker they number roughly 70 true clansmen with around 215 affiliated mercenaries and clan aspirants to bolster their ranks. Once a month they are granted two children by Sith Zarchas to train, gradually swelling their numbers.

Spoiler: Trade Deals

Spoiler: Lord Angess Derron

It was agreed, between Lord Angess Derron and Sith Zarchas, that in exchange for irregular shipments of slaves and minerals Sith Zarchas would receive surplus support shuttles from Battlegroup Banshee's fleet. A more regular trade deal could not be established as Sith Zarchas was subject to Powerbase taxes and could only offer his remaining surplus of supplies. Therefore, the vessels offered by Lord Derron were G-type light shuttles or VT-22 transports depending on the size and value of shipment received. It was agreed that all ships would be delivered to Sith Zarchas' Echoy'la facilities.

Spoiler: Enard Khazal's Listening Post

Sith Enard Khazal made a public request for assistance in the repair and upgrading of an Imperial Listening Post on the planet of Malrev IV. Sith Zarchas responded with the offer of slaves for labour and materials for construction in exchange for partial access to the facility. Located on Malrev IV it is far away from the Northern Territories and listens for movements on ship reports, requests for aid and distress signals so that Zarchas is in a position to react and potentially secure new vessels for the Horuset Powerbase.

The facility is only partially complete and not yet fully operational, requiring the procurement of further materials for the completion of the super-structure and stone facade that will conceal it against the planet's terrain.

Spoiler: Investment Initiative

Spoiler: House Varrixon's Privateering

Sith Zarchas has provided Apprentice Varrixon with access to one of his armed freighters for use as a Privateer ship. With instruction given to her to focus on vulnerable Republic supply lines, bringing the spoils of her raids back to the Powerbase and directing them to Sernpidal.

In exchange for this investment Varrixon has agreed to complete raids for Zarchas when required, securing ships or resources on a commissioned basis.

Sith Zarchas is currently investigating ways to secure a suitable gunship to relieve pressure on the Lethisk Armed Freighter and buy Varrixon more freedom with her deployments.

Undocumented Assets:

Spoiler: Ziost Blackstone Mine

In order to secure materials for the construction of a ritual site in the hunt for Lord Sanguinis it was deemed necessary to establish a mining facility on Ziost to harvest Blackstone for the construction process. The site was identified using Sith Zarchas' contacts in the Sphere of Mysteries and secured by an Operation team. Sith Zarchas established the mining facility himself, using droids secured from Sith Leive to garrison it.

Currently all produced materials go towards the construction of the Ritual Site and no official ruling on ownership has been made.
