• City Name: New Kaas City
• Classification: Megacity
• Location: Midwan, Dromund Kaas
• Affiliation:
  
  • The Kainate
  • The Sith Order
• Population: Crowded
  • New Kaas City is an immense metropolis, home to over 15 billion inhabitants. Its vast urban expanse stretches endlessly across the continent, with towering skyscrapers, sprawling industrial sectors, crowded residential zones, and an intricate network of underground tunnels and passageways. The city teems with life in every district, from the glittering palaces of the Sith elite to the overburdened slums where the majority of the population lives, their existence governed by fear, surveillance, and the omnipresent influence of the Sith.
• Demographics:
  
  • Primary: Humans (Sith descendants), Epicanthix, Sith Purebloods
  • Secondary: Chiss, Houk, Twi’lek, Umbaran, Nagai, and other Imperial-aligned species
  • Limited: Non-aligned aliens
  • Restricted: Jedi, Alliance sympathizers, and ideological dissidents
    
    New Kaas City's population is highly stratified, reflecting the rigid hierarchy of Sith rule. The dominant groups: Humans of Sith lineage, Epicanthix, and Sith Purebloods form the ruling and warrior classes, enjoying extensive privileges and authority. Below them, secondary populations such as Chiss, Houk, Twi'leks, Umbarans, Nagai, and more serve in administrative, military, and technical roles essential to the functioning of the megacity. These species are valued for their loyalty and utility, often holding mid-to-high-ranking positions within the Kainate's bureaucracy, security forces, and intelligence networks.
    
    Outside this structured order, non-aligned aliens exist in limited numbers, often relegated to industrial labor or tightly monitored mercantile activities. Strict population control measures ensure that ideological threats: Jedi, Alliance sympathizers, and dissidents are ruthlessly suppressed. Those who do not adhere to the doctrines of the Sith are exiled, imprisoned, or subjected to the dark reconditioning methods of the Reformation Centers, ensuring that the city remains a bastion of unwavering Sith loyalty.
• Wealth: Wealthy
  • Kaas City is a hub of unparalleled wealth, fueled by the immense power of the Kainate and the endless resources drawn from their shadow empire. The city's economy thrives on industrial production, military manufacturing, and a booming trade network that spans the galaxy. The elite enjoy vast fortunes, residing in opulent estates, living a life of luxury surrounded by lavish goods, exquisite architecture, and the finest Sith culture.
    
    The city's wealth is concentrated within the Dark Core and Trade District, where extravagant boutiques, exclusive markets, and towering corporate skyscrapers cater to the upper echelons of Sith society. The resource-rich War District also contributes to this prosperity, with an unceasing flow of materials supporting Kaas City's global dominance and ensuring the Sith Lords and aristocracy maintain their vast influence. Citizens of wealth often enjoy a status that guarantees not just material comfort, but also political power, as those with riches can easily sway decisions and influence the course of the Kainate's future.
• Stability: High
  • Kaas City enjoys a remarkable level of stability, bolstered by the unwavering power of the Sith elite and the precise control exercised by the Kainate's governance. The rule of Darth Prazutis, alongside his well-placed agents and military presence, ensures that order is maintained throughout the city. The Immortal Legion Command Nexus and the Saaraishash Headquarters oversee security with a vigilance unmatched anywhere in the galaxy, ensuring that the city's streets remain free from insurrection or rebellion.
    
    The rigorous ideological conformity of the populace, driven by the Correctors and the Reformation Centers, fosters a uniform society where dissent is not only rare but swiftly eradicated. The physical architecture of Kaas City itself, its imposing military structures, fortified district borders, and fortified districts like the War District, acts as a constant reminder of the city's unyielding strength and dominance. Additionally, the Temple District serves as a spiritual anchor, ensuring that the Sith faith and traditions remain central to the people's devotion to the Kainate. The result is a society in which both external threats and internal discontent are swiftly dealt with, leaving little room for disruption to the city's equilibrium.
    
    Living in Kaas City means a life defined by power, control, and influence, where those at the top enjoy untold riches, and the streets remain meticulously ordered under the watchful eyes of the Sith and their agents. Whether by force, wealth, or faith, the stability of the city is an unshakable force that defines every aspect of its existence.
• Freedom & Oppression: In New Kaas City, freedom is a concept reserved solely for those who have proven their loyalty and power to the Sith and the Kainate. The city operates under the Eternal Rule, the unyielding law imposed by the Sith Dyarchy. For the common citizen, life is strictly regimented, with every aspect of their existence monitored, controlled, and often manipulated. The city is under constant surveillance by the Global Surveillance Grid, an omnipresent network of monitoring systems, spies, and Sith agents that ensures no thought or action goes unnoticed. Personal freedoms are virtually nonexistent, as every citizen is expected to fall in line with the Kainate's doctrine of order, power, and unwavering loyalty to the Sith.
  
  While those at the lower rungs of society are subject to this constant scrutiny, life is markedly different for the Sith Order and the ruling aristocracy. The Sith Lords, their close allies, and the aristocracy enjoy unparalleled privileges, free from the oppressive gaze of surveillance and free to act without fear of reprisal. Members of the Sith Order are granted access to forbidden knowledge, powerful Sith artifacts, and resources that ensure their dominance over the common people.
  
  They are above the laws that govern the city's populace, allowed to wield their power unchecked and unchallenged. The elite live in the heights of luxury in the Dark Core, within vast estates, sprawling palaces, and towering spires, while the common citizens toil beneath them in the shadow of their might. The ruling caste often receives special dispensations to practice their dark arts, hold secret meetings in the Hall of Shadows, and shape the fate of Kaas City from the safety of their impregnable fortresses.
  
  For the lower classes, oppression is a way of life. Work is grueling and unrelenting, with the Reformation Centers serving as grim institutions designed to weed out disloyalty, dissent, and individuality. Citizens found guilty of ideological impurity or even suspected discontent are swiftly subjected to mental reconditioning, memory erasure, and dark side torture. Punishment is swift and unforgiving; public executions or disappearances are not uncommon for those who challenge the system.
  
  The Kainate's regime operates with an iron fist, crushing any seeds of rebellion before they can take root. However, beneath this tightly controlled society, the seeds of discontent always smolder, though any attempt to rise against the Sith Lords is met with immediate and devastating force. In Kaas City, freedom is a luxury enjoyed only by those who can wield power, everyone else is simply a cog in the grand machine, existing at the mercy of the Sith elite.

The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth
Kaas City's origins trace back to the era of Emperor Vitiate, who established it as the capital of his resurgent Sith Empire. Over centuries, it flourished under Sith rule, a dark and brooding metropolis where the Emperor's will was absolute. It stood as a symbol of Sith supremacy in the modern era until the cataclysmic events of 838 ABY, when the Mandalorian Clans launched a devastating assault that culminated in the complete destruction of the city.

A massive asteroid, guided by Mandalorian strategy, struck Dromund Kaas, obliterating Kaas City and causing a vast sinkhole to swallow its remains. The survivors, twisted by the overwhelming presence of the Dark Side, devolved into monstrous husks, forever haunting the ruins beneath the surface. For years, the devastated world was left abandoned, its surface ravaged by Sith wraiths and lingering Dark Side anomalies.

Reclamation and Reconstruction
The tides of history shifted once more when Vrak Nashar led the Resurgent Empire to reclaim Dromund Kaas. Recognizing the strategic value of the planet, he ordered the construction of New Kaas City atop the buried ruins of the old capital. Under his rule, the city was reborn, but his reign was short-lived. With the rise of Darth Carnifex, the Resurgent Empire was assimilated into the Sith Empire, and New Kaas City was expanded into a monumental Sith stronghold.

With the Sith Empire's fall and the ascension of the Kainate, Darth Prazutis undertook the most radical transformation yet. New Kaas City was reshaped into an indomitable Sith megacity, incorporating brutalist Neo-Panathan architecture, immense dark temples, and an omnipresent security apparatus. Kaas City was no longer just a capital; it became a living monument to Sith power, a place where the Dark Side thrived and the will of the Kainate was law.

The Modern Citadel of Sith Supremacy
Under the Kainate, New Kaas City became the crown jewel of Sith civilization, a vast and ever-expanding metropolis that consumed the continent, consuming and preserving even the jungles within, designed to project absolute dominance. No longer merely a city, it evolved into a fortified world-spanning domain, its structures infused with Sith alchemy to channel and amplify the Dark Side. Towering obsidian spires stretch toward the storm-laden sky, acting as colossal conductors of arcane energy. The subterranean depths, once filled with the ruins of old Kaas City, were transformed into vast dungeons, war vaults, and laboratories where forbidden Sith experiments take place in secrecy.

The city's population became more rigidly stratified, with Sith Lords reigning over entire districts as warlords and overseers. The lower classes were subject to intense ideological conditioning, ensuring unwavering loyalty to the Kainate. The air itself hums with power, an ever-present aura of the Dark Side seeping into the bones of all who dwell within its borders. To live in New Kaas City is to be utterly immersed in Sith doctrine, where the only law is power, and the weak are crushed beneath the boots of the strong.
