Question Opposing force nexuses?

[Kaila Irons]

Hello chaos! I am trying to create a planet with many hidden mysteries, including it's force sensitive inhabitants that have remained hidden due to the unique properties of the force nexus there. The original plan was actually to have two force nexuses of opposing alignments with powerful auras that overwhelmed one's ability to sense force signatures on the planet, allowing force users to hide on this planet no matter their alignment, even from one another. consider it an "equalizer" of sorts. They also play into a cataclysmic history but i'll save the explanation for the codex submission.

my question is, is this even possible?

I notice that the force nexus segment of the planet template refers to the force nexus in the singular, and i wonder if trying to sub a planet with two might turn some heads. I also wonder if it would be better to treat the opposing nexuses as if they were instead a single neutral nexus, given that they cancel each other out and bring the planet into a balance of sorts.

It can exist!

Spintir has a Nexus that balances between Light and Dark in an interesting way.

Amazing as always Val <3

Tython and the whole basis of the Jedi and Sith were because of the twin moons. Iirc, the planet was subject to wild storms and craziness if they were ever out of balance. Ashla for Light, Bogan for Dark.

Omg Kaila Irons I am launching my own character arc based on finding a binary nexus in the force! May the force be with you!

How would it work with someone who is completely Neutral? Like (for example) if they use the Cosmic Force, completely separated from Light or Dark?

Kaila Irons how goes your nexus storyline?

Avel Som I reckon it'd be something to figure out. Someone who uses one aspect of the Force is not immune to the perils of another, however. The Dark Side nexuses would likely still interact with/effect a neutral/cosmic Force user.

Darth Caedes nowhere honestly, i've hit a creative roadblock while preparing a codex sub for the planet. I've decided to put it on hold for the time being while i focus on existing storylines with this character. fortunately it's not a super important project, just a meeting place for a secretive faction and\or a neat place for the occasional lightsaber duel. If you want to see what I have so far, here's a link to my pre-codex master list! just look for a place called "Tyshogaan, the floating world" if it sends you to the wrong post for some reason.

Avel Som a neutral force user is not a third alignment, rather it is someone who uses both sides of the force. even if it were somehow different(which it isn't), i believe my explanation as to how they hide smaller force signatures at the beginning of the thread would still apply due to the incredible scale.

Actually, it would be different. There are many interpretations of the Force, of course. None wrong. But the Cosmic Force is separate from the Living Force. The Light side basically IS the Living Force, while the Dark side is a corruption of the Living Force. (It gets much more complicated when you add in other aspects, but I like it to keep it simpler and just use Living [split between Dark and Light] and Cosmic). Still, I think it would be interesting how it would effect someone like that. My Jensaarai is specifically who I'm thinking of, and both Light and Dark can affect him in interesting ways. Like the negative emotions of the Dark side actually weaken his connection, causing him to not even be able to use the Dark side at all.

Avel Som im not going off interpretations im going off the setting of star wars as it's creators have presented it. yes the dark side is a corruption of the force, yes the "light" side is it's default state and yes it is also fairly complicated. that does not mean however that "neutral" is a different alignment. by it's very definition, neutral is a lack of alignment towards any one side of the force, it is both, but in a balance.

with this in mind, Tyshogaan behaves as a neutral nexus in that the planet's dual nexuses are in a crude but equal balance. Separated, they are light and dark, but together they are balanced, or "gray". That is why sith and jedi cannot spot each other through the force on Tyshogaan, because the overwhelming size of these "balanced" force signatures drown out the smaller force signatures of individuals. think of force sense like taste buds and a force signature it like a single flake of pepper in a bowl of soup. you'd only notice the soup's flavors, not the single flake. A jedi or a sith is that single flake, the nexuses being the soup.

Any other aspects other than messing with Force Sense? Like positive/negative effects based on alignment?

i did run into a creative block so im not doing anything with it rn but now that you mention it, i feel like that's smth writers could decide individually based on how the dark\light typically affects them and in what area they're in? as the cause of these opposing nexuses was a huge civil war that turned an order of force sensitives that previously been split into light sided healers & diplomats and dark sided warriors & defenders into two opposing groups, and the war caused huge swathes of the land to become saturated with the dark side in various places, thus turning into the second nexus, so in theory maybe threads can be isolated to specific areas that lean one way or another but personally i feel like that could complicate things a bit.

tldr tho; still working on it.

that being said, one of the non-character oriented but maybe interesting effects is that all the land left is floating. gravity is still the same, it's just that most stone defies gravity because it's so saturated with elemental force use from the war and rituals. the surface is just an ever moving wasteland of miles of moving crust, nothing really grows because it never stops moving or scraping into other pieces or being crumbled into dust. the majority of threads on Tyshogaan would probably take place far above the surface where the smaller rocks form floating islands covered in micro forests and shrouded in mist, with lots of flying animals and the like. there's also floating ruins where what's left of the ancient cities, even their bricks seem to have been saturated by the apocalyptic scale of force use, so there's halved towers and streets and staircases to nowhere that just drifts aimlessly now. The whole place is meant to feel utterly alien, ancient, but also lonely and dead. The perfect place for a mysterious new order of sith to discover and meet in secret
(that being the primary reason behind me subbing the planet)

it'd probably see more use by us than anyone else given it's secretive nature and location in the middle of nowhere, but, with consent, there could be ways to locate it. the beauty i think is that as long as someone doesn't push the original vision too much, the secrecy of the meeting locale could easily remain a secret even if the planet itself were located, so there's still room for other characters to explore some so long as they're respectful imo but this is all hypothetical rn seeing as it's sitting in pre codex collecting dust until further notice. i might have bit off more than i can chew, we'll see

 

[Avel Som]

That sounds pretty awesome, tbh. Def think more on the nexus though. I think the Judges would want more on what it actually does, though I'm not a Judge myself, so I couldn't say for certain. I have subbed two planets with Force nexi, but I don't exactly remember everything I wrote lol. I'll have to go reread them.

Same guy. Had to switch to the alt with the Codex subs.
