OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
SETTING INFORMATION
  • Military Base Name: Al-Khali
  • Classification: A laboratory
  • Location: Odacer-Faustin
  • Affiliation: Seras Goto Seras Goto
  • Population: Heavy
  • Demographics:
  • Accessibility: Difficult
    • Secluded between a mountain and repositioned with heavy construction. THe academy itself is now hanging off the mountain itself with heavy struts and supports. Bracers on the lowest levels of the ground and reinforced structural protrusions to make it as isolated as possible with only two points of entry. The plasma bridge that can be deactivated from the academy/lab and the landing pads which are defended heavily by anti-aircraft turrets. The struts holding the section of mountain have been reinforced through the years, sharpened and smoothed for the best ideas of anti incursion protection. Jumping will slice into someone coming down and no surface grooves on the polished metal for traction.
    • The walls themselves are designed to be slick and high with a solid construction to ensure most species can't grip on them. Security monitors and auto turrets along the perimeter in case of dangerous attackers across the gap. Stun panels for the rare few who can maintain a grip as well as small areas soldiers can take aim from. Additional barbs with fast acting paralytics designed to make the rare few who can get through it face another task of avoid it.
    • Once inside the airlocks and magnetic locks are thick and heavy blastdoors that seal and section off the academy and lab areas, functioning more like a ship or sub where each rim has its own C02 scrubbers and life support as well as heavy defenses. Defensive towers for anti air and infantry turrets are around as well as patrolling soldiers. The years have seen more turrets for anti infantry specifically infected that need to be handled with flamethrowers able to fill the halls or preserved with cryoban turrets. Heavier defenses like barricades in the event of attack that can reinforce chokepoints and doors while isolating attackers with infected.
    • A defensive shield/cloaking device is used to protect the academy/lab from attacks or hide it from others seeking its location on the planet. While within the silence shroud keeps others from being able to communicate and alert to its location and presence. The stygium cloak and shield have been given their own power sources allowing them to operate independantly of each other while isolated and secluded weather control stations have been set up to obscure and keep the area outside in perpetual blizzard and storms. Infected that are out in the blizzards frozen over until usually attracted to the heat of the living.
    • Defenders are leftover soldiers and creatures from the Black Rose along with medical doctors who make up the main bulk of the academy/lab's staff and personnel. Experiments are kept in cages and stasis fields but in case of problems can be released should Seras vitals perish. Her own version of a cinder to ensure anyone who kills her won't have the benefits of her lab. It is not a self destruct of the facility... but making it so the locks and doors can't seal would decimate much of it.
    • Kudzu: A sithspawn created on the planet by the remnants of the black rose and Janick Beauchamp to create a special sort of defense. Thick and vine like but able to survive in the freezing temperatures as well as dissolve and eat the organic matter of experiments or invaders. OTher creatures of plants have been brought Drengir to add to the academies bio-diversity. IN a mixture of containment and stasis as they are welcomed to attack interlopers there with the Murakami orchid growing from the infected experiments. The Great Progenitor has been moved and housed in a lower level for control of the children.
    • Further enhancements and continued endeavors have seen defenses constantly reinforced as the secondary locations aaround the mountain gap has been expanded upon. Heavy walls and shielding with flame units and a cleared break space that holds dozenss of mines for protection. It isn't isolated and harder to reach but it is heavily fortified to defend the other side of the bridge and keep everything from getting to it. The decades of reinforcement have continued to pay off. Thicker walls with patrols and defensive turrets, isolated and secured landing pads for ships but a singular entrance with an energy bridge for those trying to reach the academy. THe courtyard being designed for maximum coverage from the turrets and offering protection to those who would be coming out of the academy. COntrol stations acting as redundancies should the main room fall and guard stations able to monitor.
    • Reinforced walkways and halls of the academy/lab have been given more monitoring equipment... more defensive turrets inside and scanners to check biometrics and look for infection with strict eradication protocols in place.
  • Description: Once the ancient site of a sith temple thousands of years before the battle of Yavin, then later built upon by a sith academy. THe ancient bones of the academy and temple are still visible with security and refits done to make it into a whole new facility. Heavy sealed blastdoors to keep out the cold but also keep experiments in or out. Animal paddocks that are no longer used but still echo with the sounds and memories. Everywhere within the facility the it is sterile and clean. Made to be a lab more then housing hundreds of people. Seras has taken care to ensure the defenses were up to date with some special surprises on the world itself. Seras has over the years continued to reinforce and turn the ancient academy into a private lab and military area. The black rose equipment and soldiers that she could bring in, former one sith assets that she had and even stretching far back to when she was in the sith empire... there has been a lot to utalize and bring forward to reinforce the isolated base. THe years have been impressive and kind.. with the world being largely isolated despite its proximity to Ossus and Rhen Var which are largely contested worlds by the sith and the jedi... it has stayed quiet. No super spreader events used while developing many of its more dangerous bioweapons that could be unleashed. With new doctors brought on for their less morals the halls are filled, the blizzard outside raging even more dropping the temperatures for would be visitors and the sheer number of cold weather emplacements along the walls and buildings. THis allows them a hearty defense against attackers both externala nd internal.
POINTS OF INTEREST
The Crags: The area around the academy that were created as a moat. With jagged rocks jutting out that would handle things falling over and provide a deep ravine for a first layer of protection against the sickness. THe deper down it goes into the rock the more dangerous it becomes as black waters that haven't been touched by the sun are heated. Currents crash against the rocks and smash with artificial generators to keep the waters choppy and run off hoses to suction and keep it from being overflown. COntinued reinforcement has seen auto turrets placed around the crags with target locking protocols to track and fire on threats that might be trapped there or trying to use it to infiltrate the academy.

The Dorms: Converted for use by the stormtroopers and staff to use. Defensive autoturrets and precautions are set up to protect from an outbreak with biometric sensors at the doors and filters for the air supply. With the inclusion of new sithspawn creatures that have been brought from the black rose Seras has a few more in terms of defenders. THe old dorms can house her medical doctors once the Black Rose and One Sith fell. They have been fixed up for and better placement of scrubbers for the oxygen as well as for biometric scanners. With Seras taking care that turrets keep everyone in line.

The Library: The ancient and burned library has proven unusable for recovering scrolls or texts but once the rotted wooden body was removed and it was secured a large staging area for administration and processing. Over time with some improvements it also served as a means to access the base of the weather control tower. A device used to keep the area of the planet where Al-Khali is within a near constant state of blizzard and snow. With their own station for controlling the weather it also functions to keep the dome shield of the facility. Planetary shielding is better improved upon using the reactors.

Ritual Chamber: Uncovered from within the library and used to create a pit. The screams of victims and prisoners who are kept there to be used in things coming up from the air shafts. THe ritual chamber after some improvements sits at the center fo the inverted medical center. A massive spire dug down deep within the rock and stone under Al-Khali where Seras medical stage is able to create bioweapons.

Paddocks: The ancient animal paddocks that housed at one point tauntauns and have been converts. With equipment for monitoring the academy internal network and outside sensors. THe continued improvements to the security systems including the use fo the shroud, shielding unit and or its cloaking device. New regulators for the geothermal tap that serves to power the facilities back up supplies.

The Cradle: The Roanoke cradle, a shell of steel and exposed electronics that keeps their prisoner ship. The towers on the top of the cradle being able to be defended with droids and auto turrets. THe cradle itself serves after retrofits as a power station. Able to be filled with and improved upon. it makes using the ship to leave the planet next to impossible but it does give a defended frame where the power for the facility can be generated.

Landing Pad: The main entrance to the academy and base cleaned off and made for shuttles and personal ships to land. Defensive autoturrets ready and able to defend on the area as it goes towards the large staircase. Defensive towers to protect ships coming and going from the facility. It isn't large mostly able to hold three shuttles or two freighters itself.

The Wall: Built on the edge of the academy and creating another additional layer of protection. The wall reaches twenty feet high and has towers interspaced with monitors and sensors to track movement inside and outside. Autoturrets that are set up for the exterior and then a number facing inwards where they can be used to defend the courtyard itself. Reinforced defenses have seen soldiers given pillboxes for firing from safety and cover... They have set up and established even more in

Central tower: The ruined tower has been cleaned away, the ruins and death it brought not forgotten but immortalized in a statue of a sith lord who hold four faces on his head. One displaying Darth Drear, the second displaying Darth Scaborous and the third displaying Seras before she had her life preservation suit. The fourth face is a mirror that looks down upon each sith who comes as a sort of motivational incentive that they can be added to such a thing. The Al-Khali statue is one of the primary focuses of the academy and marks were it goes down into the ancient temple.

Medical Lab: Built as an inverted tower deep into the mountain and serving as an under area of the sith temple. The medical labs are where the most dangerous experiments take place within the facility. Which says something considering the visible ones are some of the most horrible. They have continued to expand on their experiments develop the orchids virus into a viral weapon as well a experimenting on drengir and rakghouls.

Geothermal Tap: A primary source for power generation and deeper in the levels of the mountain. Allowing the academy and lab to store and run on its own power in case the main power plant fails.

Weather Tower: Designed on the mountain at the highest point near the shield, the tower is designed to enhance the harsh blizzards of the planet. Serving as a dangerous means of disrupting the cloaking field but it also makes landing near the academy much harder.

The Black Orchid: THe flagship of the black rose, kept within a section behind the facility. THe organic ship itself is able to land on and leave the planet when not in use. The ship itself provides little to the facility aside from a means of escape or getting down and docking with the lower level of the mountain.

The progenitor: Captured, brought to and experimented upon. The root mind of the drengir serves as one of the more dangerous experiments in Al-Khali... BRinging several of its children to be in the gardens and when people come to the world they are fed to the beasts.

SECURITY: Maximum
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Built one thousand years before the Galactic Cold war. Darth Drear used the structure to discover the secrets of immortality through the use of the murakama orchid. A flower with both sentience and force sensitivity that when tinkered with sith alchemy created a ravenous hive minded infection that could spread across all species and sought to devour the galaxy. His ritual was never completed or rediscovered until Darth Scaborous found the chamber and continued to ritual with a jedi.

After the fall of the academy the world was blocked off, the danger of spreading the virus more or less a universally agreed upon bad move. That wouldn't stop graverobbers seeking secret sith treasure after a thousand years or so. Also a possibility of course and the stray sith or jedi seeking information for what really happened. The harsh snowy terrain proving a dangerous place until thousands of years later Seras arrived with a plan for the ancient academy.

With it still standing and what information they could get on its layout she decided to create it more like an underwater or space base on a planet. Working to make each section its own contained area with biometrics and scrubbers to detect signs of the virus or other infections. They began to slow process pretending to be a repair crew fixing the damaged quarantine beacon to keep people away. After of course sabotaging it to lure three jedi to the world.

She needed someone to play distraction while her people worked to slowly dig and set charges. Working to cut into the mountain around them and severs the academy from the range they were on through what she planned to become the crags. The rooms getting a thick heavy turadium blast door sealed with a biometric scanner to detect signs of the infection and ensure no one infected is admitted into the areas they have been and begun to fix up.

Filters and bioscanners in the ventilation systems allowing clean air to pump and be recycled within the network as they built it. Defense turrets deployed in every room in case of breach or outbreak. Flametroopers working to purge each section before construction droids are sent in to put up and reinforce with floor and wall bolts the blast doors. Remote droids to scout through the vents and watch for dangers or seal them off.

Slowly as the sith construction droids moved through the crags and wall were created to seal the academy off and snow was moved and set into filters to be melted down for a small supply of water that could be recycled for use with the prisoners. The ancient entry arch was kept with a new inscription being added upon it as they worked to make the ground safe for some use. Aside from infected there would become the need to deal with graverobbers.

That came with some small concealable automated anti air turrets that could be placed around and target anything coming to explore the academy that wasn't authorized. The research base was to be a secret and as far as the galaxy was concern the only thing on the world was death and sickness. Seras sought to keep this illusion with only a plasma bridge to connect the base to the rest of the world and to easily secure it. The controls within the insulated rooms on the lower rung.

As the Black Rose grew and developed under Venefica the research done at Al-Khali continued, Seras Goto's offices compared to others allowed it to remain isolated away from the others in the galaxy. Despite what was around the galaxy and around the facility she was able to keep it with Venefica by getting closer to the sith lord. Transferring soldiers as the Black Rose seemed to go into an identity crisis with Sanya trying to make the darksiders into lightsiders and Seras retreated back to Al-Khali.

Her seclusion with what soldiers she could get when they fell. Gathering one of the mobile labs Sanya developed for them to use on the world. The massive academy that had been converted going dark as far as communications were determined and staying out of the visble need. Seras could continue to work on the world in peace away from prying eyes. Most of the experimentation coming from it on what they could find with the doctor using her skilled members who had some extra protection from the remnants of black rose soldiers.

THe work between Venefica and Seras continued, the two remaining Black Rose members. She would head out to the different empires while Seras remained within Al-Khali getting it improved upon. Finding need needs and systems, eventually with the rise fo the Sith Empire though Al-Khali was secluded and hidden away behind the weather and a cloaking device. Other improvements being smuggled in and set up around the facility to ensure that its secrecy was maintained along with new holding areas for experiments.

The years have been kind, staying in her lab the garhoon sith master and doctor has avoided much of the galaxy and conflicts that they have seen.. using the planet as her own personal lab for experimentation and evolving the really sinister murakami orchids ssickness into a more dangerous strain of itself... but also making sure that there is a quasi anti-viral agent sshe has been working on. To better improve the defenses of the facility from attack and infiltration they have continued to reinforce the walls and defenses both internal and external.

The decades since the fall of the Black Rose, and Seras mostly isolated herself in the academy to work on experiments have been beneficial. THere are a few sith who know of her work.. her medical corp can be seen out in the galaxy itself at battlefields and places where war is to bring fresh experiments. Seras herself only venturing out to properly test their latest bioweapon or even innoculation against something. THe experiments serving to give a more sinister aspect to the academy and lab itself.
