SITH PRESERVER BRANCH MEMBER REQUIRED

Public Call for Operation Team Assembly

---

Attached to the file would be a prerecorded holomessage that when selected would play. Trakaton's form would blaze to life in the classic display of a holographic transmission, the electric blue tinge accenting some features while diminishing others. Trakaton would be stood with his arms folded across his armoured chest, the cloak hanging loosely from his shoulders and the custom-fit plates of the armour looking as comfortable as an embrace. The scar on the right side of his face would be barely visible, his head ever so slightly turned to the right and he'd speak with a tone of authority:

"Korriban. The birthplace of our species, of our culture, of our way of life. The homeworld of the Sith, the most holy of the five picked worlds of the Stygian Caldera. A barren landscape, dotted with ruins millennia old. Since the Dark Jedi landed on Korriban and created the Old Sith Empire, Korriban's importance was lost in favour of Ziost. Over time it truly became what was inevitable, a tomb world of ruins and lost histories. It's cities long since destroyed in fighting, it's place in our history relegated from population centre where our species lived, to a world of the dead."
"Yet, even the sands of time cannot obscure all of Korriban's secrets. Tombs of ancient Sith are found in abundance, entire stretches of Korriban's vast surface littered as far as the eye can see with broken statues and monuments to forgotten greatness. What has become difficult to find, is the old cities of Korriban. Where did our ancestors reside when our species was not spacefaring? Where did they live during the great moments of history in the bygone ages?"
"A team of IRS agents with ties to the Vandara Valley have stumbled onto the side of a structure that they believe to be an old administration hub for the region. It's exact age is unknown, it's architecture is still half buried and it does not appear on any known map of the 'Craglands' as the IRS agents have dubbed the region for it's sharp jutting cliff faces that reach up to form canyons and shattered ranges. Thus far, the IRS agents have kept this discovery off of the official record, giving the Horuset Powerbase a unique opportunity to move in to secure and explore the ruin for what it might reveal."
"The administration hub will likely not hold much direct value to the Powerbase, but what it could reveal will be worth more than a Dreadnought. The old cities of Korriban are out there somewhere, waiting to be rediscovered and hubs such as these in the ages gone by were often used to coordinate land across the entire planet. We may find a map of the region, and with it, the knowledge of where the buried cities have lay dormant."
Thus, the objective of the operation is simple. Excavate the ruined Administration Hub and uncover what can be discovered of the Craglands. Resistance is not expected, so ensure that basic excavation equipment is brought to the site.
"To those who see this operation complete, you will be rewarded proportional to your position in the Sith Empire.
An Imperial Soldier, will receive access to a single blaster or Vibroblade upgrade category of their choice alongside receiving a stipend of credits to do with as they wish.
An Acolyte, will receive a singular piece of armour to protect a body part of their choice that they will wear under their robes with my personal and public confirmation that I permit such. The Acolyte must approach me personally to receive such a reward.
Apprentices or Neophytes of the Horuset Powerbase will receive the chance of an audience with myself to be used wisely.
Those who are beyond Apprentices, will receive a reward of their own choosing."

*With that the hologram would flicker and then fade from view. Leaving the viewer able to access the rest of the information provided.*

Location: Korriban, the Craglands - Korriban is the homeworld of the Sith Species and the location of Valley of the Dark Lords, where one of the current Sith Academies is hosted. While the Valley of the Dark Lords and it's immediate surroundings are well documented for the energy that has been spent excavating it's secrets, the Craglands has received none of this attention. Dust-storms higher than sight and jutting rocks capable of piercing durasteel have left the Craglands an inhospitable climate, even for Korriban and it's secrets are wholly undocumented. Mapping the region and a full excavation of the site will be needed.

((OOCly: I would recommend Ossus' Jedi temple as the location for this operation! A massive indoor ruin area with several rooms and winding passages gives a grand feeling to what is meant to be a grand building of the ancient sith. This will give the GM plenty of opportunity to pre-write fantastic environmental emotes and the participants a chance to actually explore excavation based RP))

The Administration Hub A building from the ancient Sith, hubs like these have been found scattered across the Valley of the Dark Lord's outskirts and were instrumental in the early re-mapping of the region and gave excavators great insight into where to start digging. Lightly guarded at most, these once proud buildings were used by the ancient Sith to find and map land that was suitable for use, for various purposes. When the old regimes fell and chaos reigned, these buildings were abandoned and Korriban began to be dotted with tombs instead of cities.

---

Objectives: In this task there will be two primary objectives.

Primary Objective I: Excavate the Administration Hub, using what means are necessary.

Primary Objective II: Find a map of the Craglands that shows the ancient sprawl of the region.

---

Time Frame: The team will have 28 days before the IRS agents will be forced to formally document the existence of the Hub, and an IRS division will overtake the ruin for themselves.
((The 11th of April will be the deadline!))

---

Estimated Party Size: The recommendation of Lord Kalkoran is that a member of the Sith Preserver branch must be present or advise the participants, alongside four others for a total party size of five to complete the objectives of this mission.

((Five means start planning when to set a date for the Operation at five people with a hard cap of absolutely no more than five. Please find a GM from within this number.))
