Chapter 1 - Amulets & Armoury Section 1 - The Eternus CaestusForged upon Hypori aboard the Felstorm. The Eternus Caestus is a Sith Amulet crafted by Lord Valefor in the shape of a left handed Gauntlet with six gem settings from alchemically enhanced metal. Alone, the Eternus Caestus is meant to help enhance Valefor's Sorcery and Alchemical Powers. However, the Crimson Lord of Hypori did not have such mundane and simple aspirations. The six gem settings were designed to house the Eternus Stones, Gems which Valefor would forge from Force Nexūs from across the Galaxy that related to important events concerning the Three Immortal Emperors.Section 1.1 - The Eternus Stones Stone of Dromund Kaas - (Avaritia Stone)
Bestowed Ability: Drain Force
The Stone of Dromund Kaas was acquired from the Dark Temple upon the world of the same name. Upon Dromund Kaas, Tenebrae first established his Empire as the Sith Emperor and conducted countless experiments and rituals. With the aide of his magic, Valefore was able to crystallise the power of the Force Nexus into a gem. Its associations with Tenebrae caused the Stone to impart the ability to drain other beings of their life. Stone of Zakuul - (Superbia Stone)
Bestowed Ability: Darkshear
The Stone of Zakuul was acquired from the Throne Room high atop The Spire. Upon Zakuul, Tenebrae established the Eternal Empire as his avatar Valkorion and ruled for a thousand years. He raised his Empire from nothing, established the Knights of Zakuul, waged war upon the Empire and the Republic, and then was killed by a figure known as the Outlander. Valkorion's death created a Nexus which Valefor turned into a second Gem. The Stone imparted the ability to create a Spear out of pure Dark Side Energy. Stone of Had Abaddon - (Invidia Stone)
Bestowed Ability: Alter Environment
The Stone of Had Abaddon was acquired from the courtyard of a Garrison that had been built upon the world. It was here, upon this spot that Darth Krayt had been betrayed and killed by Darth Wyyrlok the first time. His tragic death created a Nexus which became the third Eternus Stone. This Gem imparted the ability to control and alter natural phenomenon.Section 2 - The Legionis HastaeFollowing the acquisition of the Stone of Zakuul, Valefor made an impromptu visit to the Shard home world of Orax. There, his forces invaded the world and made short work of he defenders. Their fleet was smashed and their armies crushed beneath the Legios Cybernetica. The Invasion served as a perfect distraction for infiltrating Kaibur Town and the Iron Citadel. It was within the Citadel that Valefor forged the Legionis Hastae and acquired an apprentice.Section 2.1 - The ShaftAn old Saber Pike from a Knight of Zakuul serves as the body of the Legionis Hastae. Its construction and lightsaber resistance are a valuable base for the cruel and evil weapon.Section 2.2 - SolariLiberated from the centre of the Iron Citadel, Solari is a Shard Colony that Valefor corrupted from the Light to the Dark through the use of magic and deception. He induced Solari into believing it was being attacked by the Master of the Iron Knights, while Valefor was behind it all. Taking on the Shard Colony as his apprentice, he installed the crystal atop his spear as the head of the weapon.
Due to the trauma of having hundreds of lives shaved off of it, Solari now feasts upon the soul of those it is stabbed with, and can focus its anger to produce Lightning. |

Chapter 2 - Prowlers, Berserkers, & Other Sithspawn Section 1 - ProwlersDarth Necrotus was the first of the Prowlers, a project aimed at reanimating the dead and combining their severed bodies with cybernetic augmentations to create almost unstoppable soldiers. Some of their intended roles are that of an elite fighting force, but when equipped with specific augmentations, they can be used as Assassins and dedicated Trackers. No two Prowlers will ever look alike, since different augmentations will be used to replace different missing parts of a person.Section 2 - BerserkersSection 3 - NecronidsThe Necronids are a Sithspawn Hive of Geonosians. When Valefor descended upon Geonosis with the Legios Cybernetica, they took control of the Golbah Hive first and used the Queen to birth Zevene, first Queen of the Necronids. From her, were birthed the Necronid Hives. Compared to their non-sithspawn kin, very little was altered about the Necronids. They still exist in a Hive Mind society, but they lack wings to fly.Section 3.1 - Necronid Queen/Empress Zevene - Necronid Empress of Geonosis |

Chapter 3 - Holo-Shards Section 1 - Holocron Prototype: Null-VariantThe Null-Variant Holo-Shards, best known as Holocron Protypes, were a construct that Valefor created after raiding the Shard homeworld of Orax. Taking inspiration from the Iron Knights, the Crimson Lord set to work using Holocron's in place of Shards to create a new kind of machine. The Overseers were a product of this Prototype Phase.Section 2 - Holo-Shards: Alpha-VariantThe Alpha-Variant Holo-Shards became the first Generation of the Project to feature the uniquely shaped Holo-Shard device that would become a feature of future generations. This initial version was perhaps more accurately viewed as a Data-Shard, since the personalities of the Alpha-Variants were all artificially created similar to those used in HRDs. Their success or failure would determine the fate of the Holo-Shard Project. Alpha-Variants were able to make use of Core-Casting and could have their Holo-Shards removed and placed into another body.Section 2.1 - Holo-Shards: Alpha-Variant S-SeriesThe S-Series is a special program paired with the SORORITAS Project. Unlike other Holo-Shards, the S-Series acts more like a Droid Brain in that they are not provided a physical body and instead act as AI counterparts which primarily run and operate out of the KAIBURR Armour of the Forge Maiden they are paired with.Section 3 - Holo-Shards: Beta-VariantThe Beta-Variant Holo-Shards are the first proper generation of the Holo-Shard project where non-artificial intelligence/personalities were transferred into a device. Beta-Variants marked the biggest leap for the Holo-Shard Project and would be where the greatest issues could be found as a real living person was subject to transference and Core-Casting. Force Users are needed to perform the initial conversion from body to Holo-Shard and production of the Holo-Shard devices.Section 3.1 - Holo-Shards: Beta-Variant Generation 1Generation 1 Beta-Variants are all housed within HRD bodies. This was used as a base mark against which progress with the Alpha-Variants could be compared. The Holo-Shard to Organic body interface was still under development, but Gen 1 Beta-Variants would help advance research into what they would need to account for in terms of control and feedback systems.Section 3.2 - Holo-Shards: Beta-Variant Generation 2Section 4 - Holo-Shards: Omega-VariantSection 5 - Core-CastingCore-Casting is a process developed for the Holo-Shards in which the personality data of a Holo-Shard is transmitted from one location to another. This can allow the backup of a Holo-Shards information or the instantaneous transfer of a Holo-Shard from one part of the galaxy to another. |

Chapter 4 - Forge Lords & Forge Maidens Section 1 - Forge Lords: The Anubian GuardThe Anubian Guard created from the ranks of a Nelvaanian Village that Valefor and Arachnus attacked and liberated from the whims and will of a crazed Shaman. The primal magicks that the Shaman had been messing with had left the village with an unusually high concentration of Force Sensitive Nelvaanians. Taking advantage of the Tribe's submission and servitude, Valefor set them through a series of training regiments to improve their skills and promoted those of worth into the Anubian Guard. Forge Lords that could command the Forge Worlds and help protect them from those that were unworthy.
The Insignia Architecta gets burned into their flesh upon joining the ranks of The Anubian Guard.Section 2 - Forge Lords: The OverseersThe Overseers were born of the Null-Variant Prototype for the Holo-Shards project. Amongst the relics acquired from The Spire on Zakuul, was a floating droid known as ZODIAC. In its past life, it had acted as the Attendant for a Star Fortress - massive battle stations that the Eternal Empire had held planets hostage with. Not wanting to see it go to waste, Valefor repurposed the design and create The Overseers. They were a class of Forge Lord that could manage a Forge World or even act as the Second-In-Command of a Ship. Their role was to ensure the efficient operation of their assigned location.
At their core, sits a plundered Holocron which Valefor has tampered with to bend to his Will. Some still exhibit quirks of the Jedi, or Sith, that the Holocron belonged to. However, they all had unwavering loyalty to the Forge Master.Section 3 - Forge Maidens: The SORORITASClassification: Forge Maidens - Project: SORORITAS - "The Sisters" - Blood Syrens
The Forge Maidens are a unique classification of unit Gene-Forged by Valefor using Darth Astera as a Base DNA Template. A number of upgrades and improvements were made to birth the 7 foot tall enhanced warriors that are loyal only to Lord Valefor (although they have exhibited loyalty to not acting directly against Darth Astera). As clones, they all look similar with silver/shite hair, blue eyes, and face/body structure, however some minor variations have been noted. The Sisters are equipped with the KAIBURR Armor System designed and produced by Darth Astera as a gift for "her daughters".
SORORITAS Units operate in groups of 8 Sisters and their names are made up of an alphanumeric identifier consisting of a number and letter. |

Chapter 5 - Forge Worlds & Constructs Insignia Architecta Just like craftsmen have Makers Marks, the Forge Worlds have the Insignia Architecta. It is placed on each and every Droid and Vehicle that rolls off of the assembly lines of the Forge Worlds and marches into battle.Section 1 - Hypori: The Dark ForgeHypori was the first world to fall beneath Lord Valefor's power. It was a world long abandoned, once home to Droid Factories that fed the Separatist cause in the Clone Wars. But such golden days had long since passed. Its factories had been shuttered and closed up until Valefor came to the world, seeking the truth of a secret Separatist program. What he found there answered his questions.
In attacking and securing Hypori, Valefor was elevated to the title of Fabricator-General and The Dark Forge was created under his guidance. Abandoned factories were opened once more and began producing new droids. The Legios Cybernetica was born on Hypori from the Dark Forge, alongside his many commanders, foremost of which was Professor Arachnus .Section 2 - Geonosis: The Necro ForgeGeonosis was the second world to fall beneath Lord Valefor's power. Much like Hypori, Geonosis had long since been abandoned by the Separatist movement, and more recently by various Dark Side Aligned Groups. However, unlike Hypori, Geonosis was not entirely barren of life. Geonosians, an insectoid race, lived in different Hives across the world maintaining the old production factories. Thus the invasion of the world required the full might of the Legios Cybernetica and the Dark Fleet.
Following a successful campaign, Geonosis fell to the Crimson Lord and its combined production might became the Necro Forge. This name was in honour of Zevene and the Nercronids - Sithspawn born from a dead Geonosian Queen. Here, Valefor has focused research and study into producing Project Prowler.Section 3 - Kessel: The Spice ForgeKessel became the third Forge World through a joint effort between the forces belonging to Lord Dragus and Lord Valefor. The Dark Apothecary had attacked the Spice Mining planet of Kessel and killed much of its inhabitants by the time Valefor was brought in to provide the services of a Necronid Hive to take over Spice and Coaxium Mining duties. The Spice Forge was constructed to process Spice into a variety of drugs, whilst the Coaxium was converted into two hyper fuels. Regular Coaxium for everyone, and Hyper-Coaxium to fuel the Eye of Astera.Section 4 - Mustafar: The Mine WorldSection 5 - The Eye of AsteraThe Eye of Astera was the first of the Constructs Produced by the Forge Worlds in orbit over Hypori. This massive Hyperspace Ring was built to have a Capital Ship dock with it and cross the vast distance of space between the main galaxy and the galaxy in which Peridia is located. Construction included the salvaging of Capital-class Hyperdrives from Subjugator-class Heavy Cruiser wrecks located on the Dark Forge's home and installing them into the Ring.Section 6 - The Dark LibrarySection 7 - TERRA ProjectSection 7.1 - TERRA PrimeSection 7.2 - Cradle FacilitiesSection 8 - C-9979 Modular FrigateC-9979 Modular Frigate
Based on the C-9979 Landing Craft, the C-9979 Modular Frigate is an evolution of the craft designed and produced by the Dark Forge. The armour plating had been improved to military grade plating and a shield generator was added in alongside a hyperdrive. These features were part of the "Core" ship upon which the Modular Frigate system was built.
Realising the potential the Tensor Field system would have, Valefor set out to design a system wherein the "Core" ship for the C-9979 could be fitted with wing systems which would provide a change in role. For the Base Frigate, it featured the same capabilities as the Landing craft upon which it was based.
It features 4 Wingtip Laser Cannons mounted in 2 Fire-Linked Pairs, and 4 Turret-Mounted Cannons also in 2 Fire-Linked Pairs.Section 8.1 - C-9979 Modular Frigate (Command Refit)C-9979 Modular Frigate (Command Refit)
The Command Refit for the C-9979 Modular Frigate turns the C-9979 into a mobile command center with a host of advanced systems meant to disrupt enemy communications whilst ensuring allied comms remain undisturbed. An enhanced sensor array and a CGT Scanner also ensure enemy forces are seen and cannot hide. Additionally a CIS Mobile Command Center and multiple forward command centres took up the storage space.
It features 4 Wingtip Laser Cannons mounted in 2 Fire-Linked Pairs, and 4 Turret-Mounted Cannons also in 2 Fire-Linked Pairs.Section 8.2 - C-9979 Modular Frigate (Gunship Refit)C-9979 Modular Frigate (Gunship Refit)
The Gunship Refit for the C-9979 Modular Frigate turns the C-9979 into a mobile Gun platform. Beyond the 4 Turret-Mounted Cannons in 2 Fire-Linked Pairs that come with the "Core" ship, the Gunship Refit saw the addition of Gunwales. Along the upper surface of the wings, 40 Gunwales could deploy with Quad Laser Cannons. Another 40 Gunwales would deploy beneath the wings equipped with Dual Rocket Launchers.
Ammo storage and crew quarters were installed within the wings to account for the additional weapons.Section 8.3 - C-9979 Modular Frigate (Carrier Refit)C-9979 Modular Frigate (Carrier Refit)
The Carrier Refit for the C-9979 Modular Frigate turns the C-9979 into a Starfighter Carrier with space for 24 Starfighters which launch and land through the main doors. It's armament has also been upgraded to 8 Wingtip Laser Cannons mounted in Fire-Linked Pairs, and 4 Turret-Mounted Cannons in 2 Fire-Linked Pairs.Section 8.4 - C-9979 Modular Frigate (Missile Boat Refit)C-9979 Modular Frigate (Missile Boat Refit)
The Missile Boat Refit for the C-9979 Modular Frigate turns the C-9979 into a floating fortress of destruction. Beyond the 4 Turret-Mounted Cannons in 2 Fire-Linked Pairs that come with the "Core" ship, the front wings of the Missile Boat Refit were turned into massive missile launchers. 12 Missile Launchers ran across each wing for a total of 24 all up. The Vehicle and Troop storage space was thus converted into Missile storage with a variety of payloads possible. In total, each Launch tube was allocated space for 12 salvos each. In the event a Launcher was damaged, the repulsor tracks allowed easy transportation of the ordinance cages.
The rear wings of the Missile Boat Refit were massive bomb bays. Three rows of retractable bomb bay doors running the width of the wings allow rapid deployment of ordinance. Specially designed racks allow for a variety of bomb types to be stocked and dropped. However, some ammo types require maintenance time to swap between rack types. Depending upon the ammo type, the rear wings could drop near to 6,000 bombs in a single carpet run. Control systems did also allow for much smaller munition dumps, with it being possible to drop a single bomb.Section 8.5 - C-9979 Modular Frigate (Speedster Refit)C-9979 Modular Frigate (Speedster Refit)
The Speedster Refit for the C-9979 Modular Frigate turns the C-9979 into a Blockade Runner/Fast Transport. While it retains the 4 Wingtip Laser Cannons mounted in 2 Fire-Linked Pairs, and 4 Turret-Mounted Cannons also in 2 Fire-Linked Pairs, the rest of the ships systems were dedicated to massive engin blocks that were installed across the back wings that vastly increase the speed at which the C-9979 can move. The front wings were filled with additional fuel reserves and generators to keep up with the new needs that additional engines put upon the C-9979.
Additionally, a SLAM System was introduced to punch through blockades, whilst Manoeuvring Thrusters helped keep the Speedster refit point and go where she wanted. An upgraded Sensor Array helped the C-9979 track itself and everything around it so that it did not meet an unfortunate end. Given the ships design priorities, it did fall behind in terms of its carrying capacity compared to other variants. 100 Troops and 12 Starfighters did seem a trade off, but it did provide means for an elite covert entry team to be deployed behind enemy lines rapidly.Section 8.6 - C-9979 Modular Frigate (CAT Refit)C-9979 Modular Frigate (CAT Refit)
The CAT (Civilian Assault Tactical) Refit for the C-9979 Modular Frigate turns the C-9979 into a work horse for Mining, Rescue, Natural Disaster, and General Work duties. Like the other Refits, The CAT has all of its enhancements focused in the wings. Within the Front wings are located the 4 Tractor Beams, 12 Dual Mining Laser Turrets, and 6 Grapple Claw Launchers. This allowed the CAT Refit to undertake mining operations within asteroid fields and on planet surfaces to gather materials.
The rear wings featured Mine laying control doors for deployment of Gravity Mines. Space within the rear wing had been dedicated for the storage of the resources mined by the forward wing apetures, whilst several liquid containers were also located in the rear wings with dedicated drop doors for delivering liquid payloads (such as for putting out forest fires, or watering crops with water, alternatively corrosive liquid payloads could be loaded in).
The CAT refit also features space for offering medical aide to organics or conducting repairs to mechanical forces. It features 4 Wingtip Laser Cannons mounted in 2 Fire-Linked Pairs, and 4 Turret-Mounted Cannons also in 2 Fire-Linked Pairs. |
