E T E R N A L - E M P R E S S
Since this will be a larger Junction with four factions, it will also get an OOC thread to make it easier to find a dancing partner for the thread. And easier to figure out a narrative for yourself. You can already see the starting post below with the objectives.
The thread will start on Friday or Saturday, so there's plenty of time for everyone to write starting posts or find a partner.

Once again, Panatha finds itself as the focus of galactic attention. Five planets within the system have devolved into a state of open rebellion against the Eternal Empire, and rumours have arisen once again that the Sith have returned to their spiritual homeworld. It's not known exactly which Sith group it is, but given the state the planet finds itself in, that simple fact is not the most important to pursue. The emergency of this Sith sect, reports of mass human sacrifices, and even more deliberate and troubling events have given the Eternal Empire and its allies enough of a reason to return to the planet.
The last contract between the Eternal Empire and the Empire, which Rurik Fel and Ingrid L'lerim made, was that the Eternal Empire must prove by deeds that it is truly against the Sith in all of its forms. The developing situation on Panatha seemed like a great opportunity to do so, and precisely because of this; a joint operation conducted by both Empires and The Ashlan Imperium resulted in an outpost built on Panatha in the utmost of secrecy - with its purpose being to observe and prevent further Sith actions from there.
However, what no one expected was that the Shadow Empire would also show up as extra "help"; paving the way for the Maw to come to the planet and carry out their plan. This unholy alliance serves a double purpose, as
Darth Maledictio
is trying to perform an experimental ritual on Panatha after finding some interesting artefacts on the planet Karra; hoping that the other Sith presence will distract the united forces of the aforementioned superpowers from the Maw's plans and raid.
This opens up the perfect opportunity for the Maw to have their fleet arrive at the Eternal Empire core worlds through Bakura's hypergate to raid and plunder this area and obtain materials and human resources for their war machine. And for this, the Panatha system seemed to be the most vulnerable given it is no longer protected by the Eternal Empire due to its open state of rebellion.
At the same time, additional units arrive further north on the planet Evaar'la Yaim, which is also close to Panatha and where the Death's Hand has a secret base and Clan Harert has a Necropolis built into a mountain. Here,
Dodhorn Harert
and
Khamul Kryze
opened a portal to the planet, with the help of
Y'sanne Stradd
, through which additional ground units could arrive here, who will travel in secret to Panatha. Some of them may have already arrived at Panatha, as scouts, spies to mark targets on the planet or in the system.
Objective 1.: Embrace of Darkness
Relevant link: Ruins of Canthar (Old thread)
Recently, the Empire, Ashlan Crusade, and Eternal Empire came to the planet together, in secret. Among other things, to investigate Sith activity and for the Eternal Empire to prove what it agreed to in the contract. In addition, they have secretly established a common outpost on the planet from which they can monitor the activities on the planet. For this very reason, there are teams of mostly agents and smaller strike units on the planet to monitor and investigate it.
The Maw were here for similar reasons, they wanted to map the planet in advance so that when the fleet and main army arrived, they would have accurate intelligence reports on the planet. There are probably spies, smaller or larger reconnaissance teams already present here.
And the two groups will soon know of each other's presence, even though the ritual begins at that time to distract the Empires about the incoming Maw forces. (Diplomacy, logistic, reconnaissance/black ops mission, small scale warposting / PvP, around the outposts)
Objective 2.: Hell on Earth
Relevant link: Evaar'la Yaim
There is another planet where the Maw appeared. It's not necessarily where one'd expect them to be, but it's close to the Pacanth Reach, and not least the Death's Hand and Clan Harert have interests on the planet. The planet is Evaar'la Yaim. Dodhorn Harert and Khamul Kryze, opened a portal, with the help of a Heathen Priestess. Through the portal, larger ground units could arrive on the planet, where disguised merchant ships await to take them to the Pacanth Reach. However, there are cities on the planet that can be targets for looting, last but not least, this planet is in the hands of the Mandalorian clans, and allied troops may also be present on the planet. (mostly NFU duel, mando v mando, maybe warposting)
Objective 3.: Gates of Hell
Relevant Link: Bakura and the Hypergate.
The Maw definitely needs materials, reinforcements and supplies after the defeats they suffered in the Core Worlds. And they are trying to get these from the Eternal Empire. Due to the war and expansion, most of the Eternal Empire fleet - as well as the Ashlan and Empire units stationed here - are in the north at the border, and the Eternal Imperial fleet and army are in the south due to expansion, so the Maw arrives using the Bakura Hypergate and into the Core World of the Eternal Empire to loot and plunder. The most unprotected point is the Pacanth Reach, so they try to reach this and already on the way to that area they are already trying to raid (fleeting and PvE)
Objective 4.: Seal of Fate
Relevant Link: Ruins of the Iron Mountains
While events are taking place elsewhere, there are indeed Sith present on Panatha who are preparing for something. The Shadow Empire has been in alliance with the Maw for a long time. On Odessen, Maw helped Curse claim the throne of the Shadow Empire, and now he's returning the favour. Anyway, he wanted to experiment, so now with the ritual he is trying to distract the attention of those on Panatha from the other events, so that the Maw can start their raiding and plans completely undisturbed. The goal is to help the ritual, or even to try to stop it for the alliance members, since it is impossible to know what the consequences will be. (Can be warposting, but mostly Force user duel/PvP, ritual assistance (PvE), or trying to stop it.)
Objective 5: Bring Your Own Objective (BYOO)
There could be countless other tasks/narratives on the planet and in the hexes. Exploring and examination of the planet, exploring ancient ruins, possibly searching for older Sith facilities, contacting the locals and all that could be listed. The point is to make everyone have fun.
The thread will start on Friday or Saturday, so there's plenty of time for everyone to write starting posts or find a partner.
