A scarred world of raging tempests, petrified figures locked in eternal combat, twisted monsters, and volatile gravity storms, Malachor V is an ancient wound in the Force, which yet holds priceless artifacts coveted by many of the galaxy’s reigning powers. Previously under the control of the now-defunct Ashlan Crusade, a light side crusader state that controlled large swathes of the Tingel Arm at the height of its power, the world has since been left alone, save for a few isolated excursions undertaken by those seeking out secrets of the the world’s past.
In the wake of the Ashlan Crusade’s collapse, many dark artifacts and secrets were left secluded on the planet, locked away in a hidden storage facility built on the foundations of an ancient obsidian temple. This facility's original purpose was to hide away dark side artifacts so as to deny them to the Sith and any other dark side-aligned groups. To this end, not only was it constructed in a remote location, but it was also defended by a veritable army of battle droids to ensure its integrity even years after the Ashlans faded from the galactic stage.
Until now, its location was a secret.
However, owing to work undertaken by the New Imperial Inquisition, the location of the facility was found in the northern region of the planet, pinpointed to a site inside the temperate rainforests of the western continent. Acting quickly, the Moff Council authorizes a special operation on Malachor to seize the facility and recover its priceless artifacts, which are rumored to include the schematics to an ancient Sith artifact-weapon capable of petrifying living beings en masse.
However, unbeknownst to the Empire of the Lost, they are not the only faction to have taken an interest in the facility.
Owing to an intelligence leak by the Fifth Wing, the Diarchy—a rising superpower to the north of the Empire—has gained knowledge of the facility’s location as well. Thus, mirroring the Moff Council, the Diarchy High Council launches its own expedition to capture the facility, in the hopes of seizing its relics before the Empire.
With both factions moving to claim the same treasures, the stage is set for the mission to Malachor!
Setting and Information:
- Dueling-centric skirmish between the Empire of the Lost and the Diarchy. Allies from other factions are permitted to join in reasonable numbers, so long as those allies have received permission from the staff of the faction they intend to fight for.
- Mainly geared towards 1v1 duels, but participants may opt for 2v1s, 2v2s, etc. Try to keep the fights small to limit posting lag, or alternatively, pair off the combatants.
- Set in a hidden Ashlan Crusade temple-storage facility located in a temperate rainforest region on Malachor V. The area is defended by a complement of battle droids and has deployed shield bubbles to protect against the planet’s lightning storms.
- The temple has three main points of interest:
- Temple Foyer
- Artifact Storage Chamber
- Library Complex
- The temple has three main points of interest:
- Very high chance of rain and storms. Time is late afternoon.
- Small-scale conflict erupts between Diarchy and Imperial agents over the dark side artifacts and texts inside the facility. No fleets or armies, but small infantry squads in reasonable quantities are permitted. For those writing pilots, small-scale dogfights can take place over the temple for control of the airspace, but please collaborate with writers involved if attempting close air support actions.
- Void Stone is integrated within the statues surrounding the temple facility, but not in high enough concentrations to impede general Force use within the area.
