Objective 1 // Nar-Hakel Circuit
Betwixt the teeth of Vardin's capital spires, Korriban prepares for a day of fierce competition and dangerous spectacle. A grand race through the newly established Nar-Hakel Circuit draws in students, military officials and engineers, and other esteemed guests from across the galaxy. Under the watchful eyes of the King,
Darth Caedes
, and his Council of Lords, the race promises not only to serve as trial for the Kor'ethyr's aspiring Sith, but as a testing ground for the prototype starfighters crafted in collaboration with the Trade Federation, the Outer Rim Diarchy, and Korriban's own prestigious shipyards, the Bogan Fleet Systems; ultimately for use in the Order's growing war machine.
The Nar-Hakel Circuit is not just a race however, but a proving ground for Korriban's rising military prominence. Against the backdrop of jagged spires and sunset skies, students from the Academy's three Houses—Tuk'ata, Rakghoul, and Derriphan—line up in sleek, house-colored starfighters. Each prototype is uniquely designed, combining Korriban's own ship-crafting prowess with cutting-edge enhancements from the galaxy's finest engineers and corporate allies. Every maneuver, every daring turn, will be scrutinized by prominent Sith and military leaders, eager to refine these craft for Korriban's burgeoning fleets. As the signal for launch draws near, a charged and rumbling silence falls over the crowd, all eyes fixed on the student-pilots and their ships.

Nar-Hakel Circuit. The Kor'ethyr Academy's Nar-Hakel Circuit, on Korriban, is a grueling test of speed and skill, winding through iconic locations steeped in world history. Starting in the bustling streets of Vardin, the course quickly takes racers into the trackless Golg Desert, where racers navigate through the wreckage of Ashlan battleships at the Ashlan Crash Site. Next, they enter the Valley of the Dark Lords, a winding canyon passage lined with towering statues and enshadowed tombs, before descending into the treacherous Nethermaw Tunnels—pitch-black caverns filled with jagged and dangerous rock-column formations. Finally, emerging back into the open desert, racers speed toward Vardin's towering skyline in a straight shot to the finish line, cheered on by the gathered crowds.

Streets of Vardin (start). Amid the bustling streets of Vardin, the race begins as spectators line the towering spires, waving banners and cheering on the students. The polished starfighters sit in neat starting grids, each bearing the vibrant colors of their houses: sandy browns and oranges of House Tuk'ata, the fierce reds of House Rakghoul, and the elegant purples and silver trim of House Derriphan. The track winds through Vardin's main promenade, a relatively straight stretch that offers racers a fast-paced warm-up before plunging them into the open desert. Engines ignite in unison, filling the city with a thrilling hum.

Ashlan Crash Site. Crossing Vardin's city limits, the racers enter the expansive Golg Desert, where the massive wreckage of fallen Ashlan battleships punctuate the sands like colossal gravestones. Rusting metal fragments and shattered hulls jut out of the ground, grim reminders of Caedes' brutal reclamation of Korriban. Navigating this graveyard demands agility and nerve, as the course weaves between fallen behemoth-battlecruisers, forcing pilots to dive under twisted wreckage or through hollowed passages in the crumbling warships. A foreboding silence fills the air, and the ships seem to loom, casting long shadows that stretch toward each starfighter as they race by.

Valley of the Dark Lords. At the edge of the desert, a massive cliff rises like the walls of a fortress, marking the entrance to the Valley of the Dark Lords. This winding valley stretches for miles, flanked by colossal statues of ancient Sith and dotted with shadowy tombs. The course is wide enough for speed, but sharp turns around ancient stone figures and sudden gusts of dust-laden wind challenge each racer's skill.

Nethermaw Tunnels. From the valley, racers plunge into the gaping maw of the Nethermaw Tunnels, a subterranean network of blackened caverns that carve through the desert rock. Here, visibility drops to nothing but the faint glow of their starfighter lights slicing through darkness in cones, illuminating rows of jagged stalagmites and stalactites that crowd the narrow passage. The tunnels twist unpredictably here, forcing caution in the pitch-black void. Every turn and tunnel wall poses a new risk, making this the race's most harrowing challenge.

Final Stretch. Emerging from the Nethermaw Tunnels, the racers are greeted again by the vast Golg Desert, Vardin's towering skyline beckoning them on the horizon. A straightaway welcomes them, lined with roaring crowds and the glint of celebration as they re-enter the city. With the finish line in sight, the cheers and flash of lights add fuel to each racer's last surge of adrenaline.
