Location: 120 km southwest of Pixelito, on Malastare
Affiliation: IGR Brokerage
Description: Built in a rather peculiar interpretation of Naboo architecture, the IGR datacenter was formerly a Sith Lord's castle. The inner courtyard features an internal space large enough to land a 20x20m ship in it. In addition, the castle comprises two front towers with one massive keep at the back. Across the building, windows as high as four meters high lined the construction. Most of the internal space is taken up by servers, computer equipment and the requisite HVAC equipment, but the lobby has a monumental staircase linking the first two floors and the staff space (dining room, offices, washrooms) on the first two floors. Many described the style of the property as being "faux-Naboo" and harshly criticized its architect as a result of not fitting its surroundings.
History: Originally designed by Anastasia Volzhin for a Sith Lord whose disenchantment with their economic policies led him to serve the Techno Union, this building caused her to prematurely end her career as an architect, instead turning to fashion modeling. His finances waxed and waned with the Techno Union due to the Sith Lord owning a majority stake in Colicoid Creation Nest, and other sizeable stakes in Xi Char Cathedral, Baktoid Armor Workshop. When the Techno Union collapsed, so did the Sith Lord's fortune and he went to his fiancée in First Order space asking for financial aid while this castle was foreclosed. Many potential buyers balked at buying the former property of a Sith Lord, especially since the Alliance recaptured Malastare. In the end IGR Brokerage purchased it.
Intent: To provide IGR Brokerage with a datacenter for its southwestern operations
OOC notes: Even though most canon depictions of Malastare seem to depict it as a doom-and-gloom desert world with methane lakes, and very little sunlight, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter as well as Star Wars Republic 14 both seem to depict the existence of forests on Malastare; one could surmise the Dugs or the Grans could clear-cut some areas in the forests.
