Work In Progress Citadel Caelitus

[Darth Solipsis]

“There's a place. Where they take Jedi. It's a place of torture. Where Jedi go to die.”
“At least in death they are one with the Force.”
“Problem is they don’t stay dead.”​

• Description:
  • Citadel Caelitus, also known as Halketh 's castle, is a Sith Fortress located on the Chiss world of Csaus. Once the hub of science and communications for the Chiss Ascendancy, the castle was constructed over the Inrokini family's prime estate after it was leveled by the Brotherhood of the Maw during their invasion of the planet. The fortress was designed to replace the loss of Carlac’s after the New Imperial Order committed to a Base-Delta-Zero of the rebel world, the new fortress blueprint reflected that Carlaci heritage mixed in with Sith architecture. The citadel was constructed as a testament to the Dark Lord’s might, it’s central tower was lined down the middle with obsidian which served as conduits for the Dark Side of the Force, an ode to Darth Vader’s personal abode as well as a means for much much more.

The Sanctuary​

• The Sanctuary​
  • The Inner Sanctum of the Citadel, the Sanctuary is the personal quarters of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Halketh , and the most mysterious wing of the Sith Fortress. Very few have access here, a second audience chamber separates the private quarters from the rest of the castle. Those that await a personal appointment are basked in heavenly light as the blast doors lift open, often giving the Dark Lord a ‘divine’ glow as he approaches.​

The Throne Room​

• The Throne Room
  • A enormous domed audience chamber with a central throne many times the size of any whom would stand before it. The massive stone work throne sat empty except when the Dark Lord gave audience where his image was projected on a titanic scale, looming over those who sought his audience. The source of the projection was often either in the Dark Lord’s personal sanctuary or from the Battlecruiser ’Prophet’ of which he spent a considerable amount of time on between travels.
• The Neo-Imperial Dojo
  • The Neo-Imperial Dojo served as the training room of the Sith Sovereign Protectors, allowing both the elite bodyguards of the Dark Lords of the Sith and Final Dawn Purge Troopers to hone their skills. The training was fear-based, dark and outright highly abusive to those involved.

The Central Interrogation Chamber​

• The Carlaci Gulag
  • Where captured Jedi were kept for interrogation, torture, and experimentation. Those unfortunate souls would linger here until meeting their fate.
    • The Central Interrogation Chamber
      • The Central Interrogation Chamber was a torture room where Jedi underwent a menacing procedure to break and fall to the Dark Side. The room was designed to mimic the same chamber of it’s namesake from Fortress Inquisitorius, psychologically and physically draining a prisoner's will, forcing them to acquiesce to the indoctrination of the Brotherhood of the Maw and the Dark Side.

The Laboratory​

• The Laboratory
  • Strand-casts, Sith alchemy, and dark science. A redoubt where magic and technology collide using the advanced technological resources left behind by the Chiss.
• The Workshop
  • Equipped with the latest manufacturer machinery, a prototyper, a molecular furnace, and even a Sith Forge. The workshop of the Dark Lord is capable of creating nearly anything he sets his mind to.
• The Qabbrat
  • The Qabbrat is the Dark Lord’s Sith Meditation Chamber and a source of isolation to draw on the Dark Side of the Force and the negative emotions that fuel that very connection.
• The Necropolis
  • The vast series of tunnels and catacombs constructed for the Chiss Ruling Family of Inrokini who held their vast estate on the grounds where the citadel was built over. The necropolis is filled with the dead and undead alike, a place where the Dark Lord practices his dark art of necromancy to further his own horrific ends. The walls are stained in blood in the runic language of the Sith, an undeniable odor permeates every inch of this dreaded place and a foul presence, the miasma that is the Dark Side touches everything, it is inescapable. It is rumored that the faithful acolytes from the Church of the Dark Side who attend Halketh alone traverse these halls untouched, unafraid. Supposedly they gather in the farthest depths where a hidden vergence in the Force awaits.

• Maximum
  • Citadel Caelitus is the personal abode and dark sanctum of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Halketh . He is personally protected by the fearsome Sith Sovereign Protectors who maintain an active presence within castle. The Sith Fortress hosts a legion of it’s own in the form of Sith Troopers of the Final Dawn and religious zealots of the Church of the Dark Side. Sith cultists attend the Dark Lord hand and foot not by forced action but devotion to their master whom they see as benevolent ruler. It is rumored that some surviving members of the Carlaci population relocated to Csaus and the citadel proper after the orbital bombardment of their home but there is little to support these claims and if there is any truth to it none but the Dark Lord would know, the subject remaining silent to all. Between the various weapon emplacements, armored sentries, undead subjects, and unleashed sithspawn, the Citadel is possibly one of the most secure facilities in Maw Space proper.
