- Behemoth II (Mini-Neptune)
- System Stellar Neighborhood: Typhojem’s Storm (The Violent Crimson Nebula)
- The Typhojem’s Storm has no indigenous name nor any markers on spacefarer’s maps. In fact, it barely appears in maps.
- This is in part due to its inhospitable nature. The nebula is so dangerous and treacherous to traverse, ancient galactic explorers deemed it impassable and had begun to omit it from maps and galactic travel lane data millennia ago.
- As a result, the it is fairly unexplored, unknown, and unmarked to the wider galaxy.
- So what makes the nebula so monstrous? Typhojem’s Storm is a perfect storm of the worst conditions.
- Like the famous Kessel Run's Akkadese Maelstrom, it is a maelstrom of:
- Roaming ionized cosmic storms that blast electromagnetic lightning bolts from dust cloud to dust cloud
- Carbonberg clusters dot the paths between the storms, and most of the systems found in the nebula are populated with worlds that have failed to form life and are blasted wastelands.
- The Dead Ring:
- Technically not a planetoid debris region, the Dead Ring is still a major region for planet Sepulcher.
- When Sepulcher was destroyed most of its debris became the large chunks like Necronesis and Tafropetra, while others became small satellite asteroids that orbited with the larger chunks.
- But, a vast amount of other debris flung off and was stretched into a ring around all of Sepulcher (much like the rings around D'Qar or Geonosis).
- The ring is code-named the Dead Ring, even though ironically it is quite full of life:
- Inside it's many asteroids are a bunch of space vacuum surviving and rock burrowing creatures. Including:
- But the most dangerous denizens of the Dead Ring is a group of Darkside Corrupted Purrgilthat from time to time migrate to the Dead Ring from their birthing grounds somewhere far and deep into Typhojem’s Storm:
- This group of Purrgil is code-named the Leviathan Fleet and is closely monitored by the Qotsisajakaar.
- Mainly for mitigation of their contact with the Basilica and the fleet.
- But, as well as for scientific and Sith alchemical experimentation potential.
- The fleet was present when Sepulcher was destroyed, and as a result became imbued with Darkside energy making them receptive to Darksiders (and their potential influence)

- Type: Fortress Base of the Qotsisajakaar
- Location: Sepulcher Debris Region
- Planetary Features:
- Ancient Sith Ruins (Scattered across the main three regions of Sepulcher)
- Major Locations:
- Sepulcher is a ruined planet ripped into 3 Main Debris Regions (labelled above):
- Sepulcher, Necronesis, and Tafropetra, as well as a massive debris ring that loops around the ruined world in a planetary ring system called The Dead Ring
- Region Sepulcher:
- The largest and most intact section of the destroyed planet, this debris region is named Sepulcher (the name which also gives the planet’s name).
- The shape of the planet is largely stable except for the enormous chasm wound on its eastern hemisphere.
- The Chalice: Dark Side Nexus Wound of Sepulcher
- It stretches across an area more than 50 million km squared (for reference that's the same size as all of Eurasia).
- The chasm is code-named: "The Chalice'' by the Qotsisajakaar.
- The Chalice was the site of an ancient unknown Darkside Ritual that went horrifically wrong and tore apart the planet.
- The Chalice is the most dangerous place in all of Sepulcher.
- From deep within it's dark depths a Dark Side Nexus was formed after the ritual.
- It spits out arcs of unstable Dark Side energy that manifests as lightning storms, bursts of Dark Side energy, and strange conjuring such as Force Wraiths and Giant Derriphan Swarms.
- Above the Chalice, remnant chunks of debris fill the skyline caught in a fragile orbit around Sepulcher. They are accessible by ship and can be visited in Sepulcher's high orbital layer.
- In order to control and mitigate the ferocity of the unstable and chaotic Dark Side energy spewing from the nexus within, Darth Voyance's Qotsisajakaar installed Dark Energy Pylons (pictured right, to be subbed later)
- The Pylons absorb the excess darkside energy and store it inside the kyber crystals harvested from other worlds to be stored and then later used if necessary as a Darkside defensive buff. This being the energy stored can be unleashed or harnessed by Darksiders as a defensive weapon; creating telepathic or telekinetic attacks.
- Basilica Prime: Holy Fortress Base Of The Qotsisajakaar
- (Picture Left, also will be subbed later)
- Basilica Prime is the main and only building feature of the entire planetoid.
- It is all at once a Sith Temple Complex (Basilica), Military Fortress, Qotsisajakaar Sith Academy, and Production Facility.
- It is split between an above ground Temple building and an extensive subterranean network of production facilities, archives, barracks, medical bays, artificial solar greenhouses, and experimentation labs.
- It is the center of the Qotsisajakaar's presence. Second only to the Dark Praxeum of Darth Voyance which hovers above Basilica Prime when it is in its area.
- The Basilica is built directly over the ancient Sith Pureblood temple complex.
- Parts of which can be seen by the small ruined pyramids that surround the Basilica as well as ruined buildings and statues.
- Region Necronesis:
- Code-named Necronesis, the Isle of the Dead, it is the second largest chunk or debris region broken off from the main planetoid ruin of Sepulcher.
- It is named so because of the massive necropolis found in the region.
- When the planet had erupted, Necronesis was the site of the Sith Temple Complex's necropolis.
- Cut into its rock are thousands of yet to be discovered tombs, crypts, burials, and sacrificial pits.
- However, as a result of the planet’s destruction by a Dark Side Ritual, the region is infested with Force Wraiths, Crypt-Ghouls (similar to Sith Shadow-Ghouls), Sith Undead, as well as nest of Starweirds who in the millennia after the destruction of Sepulcher have made the region their home.
- Necronesis' sundering from Sepulcher is what created the Chalice.
- Therefore, it is roughly the same size as the Chalice is wide and deep.
- Region Tefropetra:
- Code-named Tafropetra, The Tombstone, it is the smallest of the debris regions of Sepulcher.
- Unlike Necronesis there is no large Sith ruin complex remnant on Tafropetra.
- The only features of this regions are broken mountain chains that jut out from the surface and spin a gnarled spine across the region, like a set of crooked tombstones.
- Dark Nexus Of The Chalice
- Force Nexus: Dark Side Nexus
- Intent:
- To create a Darkside Nexus to accompany the planet's history of being destroyed by an unknown Darkside ritual
- As well as to add an additional element to the Chalice chasm maw that was left after the planet was destroyed.
- Nexus Name: The Chalice
- Nexus Alignment: Darkside
- Size: Planetary
- As described above the Chalice is the Force Energy leftover of a destructive unknown Darkside Ritual
- And as such has left an powerful Darkside energy fallout that affects the planet
- Strength: Moderate
- Accessibility:
- In order to gain access to the Chalice, one must first gain access to Sepulcher's location which is a heavily guarded secret
- Only the Qotsisajakaar are privy to it
- In addition, with the Dark Energy Pylons absorbing most of its excess discharges of Darkside energy the Force signature of the nexus is also largely suppressed.
- Effects:
- As mentioned above the Chalice manifests its effect the same way an unstable reactor would
- It can power the Darksiders around it as a fonte of extra energy or rip apart the area around it with power arcs of lightning, cosmic storms, and bursts of energy that could burn a Force user's Force Soul in the same way radiation that burns flesh.
- All this power can be tapped but can also be misused.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Ancient History:
[Following Information Reconstructed From Clues Discovered by Qotsisajakaar Analysis of the Sith Ruins on Sepulcher]
After The Great Hyperspace WarsWith Naga Sadow, the Dark Lord of the Sith, defeated at the Battle of Primus Goluud the remnants of the Sith Empire under Naga Sadow fled to Yaving 4. The remaining forces returned to the Sith Homeworlds under the new acting Dark Lord of the Sith, Shar Dakhan. When the Old Republic counter-invaded and laid waste to Korriban, a splinter fleet of Kissai Mages and Massassi warriors was lost in the fleeing. Harried by the Old Republic Fleet over several jumps, the refugees were pushed to the very edges of the galaxy, out beyond the Spinward Sector.
It is there they would reach a swirling violent crimson nebula they named Typhojem’s Storm. The nebula radiated with Dark Side energy that felt like the familiar dark embrace of their lost homeworld Korriban. Forced with no choice, the ships of their fleet where sent into the violent nebula as the Old Republic drew closer.
Many ships were lost. Either carried off into the nebula lost in a meandering search for a world in the crimson storm or ripped a part by the ion storms and gravitational fluctuations of the nebula. The ships that did find a world, settled there. Their ships disassembled and used as raw materials for a grand Sith Complex construction program that took generations to complete. These complexes would become the Sepulcher Sith Ruins that the Qotsisajakaar have come to occupy in modern times.
The original name that the Sith Purebloods gave this world is lost to history, but, from analyzed ruins and their heiroglyphic art, Qotsisajakaar Sith have put forward an estimated reconstruction of the name, Hâsksis "Sith's Anguish". Though the settlers had claimed the world, the name shows that they never forgot the lamentation of losing their homeworld and longed to return.
The Expeditions and the Sith Empire Resurgent
While the nebula protected them from the galaxy, the settlers of Sepulcher or Hâsksis, were desperate to find their other brethren. But, traversing the nebula of Typhojem's Storm was a major barrier to this ambition. The settlers would commission several ships to retrace the path that had taken to reach Sepulcher and establish a formalize pathway to and from the planet through the violent nebula. What information and knowledge they gathered and synthesized, they stored in The Hâsksis Sith Wayfinders.
They were precious, precious items for the settlers and only a select few Sith Lords were permitted to use them. With the Wayfinders, the settlers, now generations forward from the originals, sent out expeditions out of the nebula to reconnect with the galaxy. Who they encountered was the Reconstituted Empire of the Sith, led by the Emperor Vitiate. They expeditionary fleet was intercepted by the Vitiate's Empire on Xo.
There Vitiate tricked the Sith Lords that commanded the fleet into being enslaved. Vitiate saw the Sith of Hâsksis as pure relics of ancient knowledge and power - direct connections to the Old Sith Empire and its lost magicks. Imprisoning them, and under Dark Side mind control Vitiate extracted the location of the Sith Wayfinders and dispatched a force of Imperial Sith to take the hidden world.
The conquest of Hâsksis was immediate and devastating. The Sith there were enslaved by Vitiate and were pressed into providing him the power to conduct experiments on Sith Ritual for his plans of immortality. However, this would not last. On one occasion, the Hâsksis Sith were preparing a Ritual to empower the Emperor. However, they Hâsksis Sith used the ritual instead to form a powerful Dark Side Bomb that was designed to kill the Emperor upon his arrival. When the fleet of the Emperor arrived the Hâsksis Sith turned the bomb against the fleet. But, they were deceived. The Emperor was not there and the Dark Side Bomb consumed the fleet and then tore the planet into pieces. All of the Hâsksis Sith perished, along with the Emperor's decoy fleet. The data of the catastrophe was recorded by probe droids and then brought back to Emperor still on Dromund Kaas where it was added to his research to powerful Sith Rituals. Hâsksis itself was left to rot and vanish. The Hâsksis Sith Wayfinders were archived in the Empire's vaults on Korriban and forgotten.
Hunt for the Lost World
Centuries later the Hâsksis Sith Wayfinders were discovered by a Sith Lord of Krayt's One Sith, Darth Wyyrlok III. During his research into old Sith Artifacts it was he who unearthed the Wayfinders. He discovered them in Korriban when attempting to rule the One Sith after placing Darth Krayt's body within the temple of XoXaan. However, Krayt killed Wyyrlok before he could unlock the mysterious of the Sith Wayfinders. From then on the Wayfinders would remain untouched and lost. Until, the resurfaced in the hands of a mysterious Dark Side hermit known simply as, The Elder. The Elder would study the Wayfinders and unlock their mysterious - he would go on to reveal them to only one of his many apprentices, a Twi'lek Sith Lord by the name of Darth Voyance.
Recent History and Rediscovery:
Darth Voyance and the Rediscovery of Sepulcher
It was the Elder who reached out to Darth Voyance during one of her Force Visions. Through vision, the Elder established a Force Bond that allowed the traversing of space and time by the Dark Side Hermit, and deliver to Voyance through vision a Hâsksis Sith Wayfinder. Using the Wayfinder, Darth Voyance made her way to Typhojem's Storm and met the Elder at a hidden jungle world. There Darth Voyance began formulating the creation of a Reformed Sith order, the Qotsisajakaar was born. Under the tutelage of the Elder, Voyance traveled to Hâsksis. There inside the Dark Nexus of the Chalice Voyance was assaulted by the Dark Side and given revelations of prophecy. Profoundly transformed by the experience she named the world Sepulcher and set about attracting Sith to her side so that she may see to it that the revelations of Sepulcher become reality. As of now Sepulcher has been repopulated by the small order of the Qotsisajakaar. Hidden in the storm of Typhojem's Storm Nebula, they wait and prepare to reveal themselves in full.
