SETTING INFORMATION
- Structure Name: Sith Inquisitor headquarters
- Classification: Corporate headquarters
- Location: New Adasta, Ziost
- Affiliation: Sith Inquisitor
- Accessibility: It is open to the general public of New Adasta
- Security: After the attack on the HQ by the then-Sith Order, the security comprises several security guard squads and alarm systems but it's still a far cry from anything highly secure
- Description: The headquarters include three four-floor towers overlooking a three-floor base, which itself is located in the middle of a snow field in the outer edge of New Adasta's business district, with the land plot covering three acres in Ziost's capital. Nevertheless, most of the space is taken to the operation of the news part of the company, with the western courtyard comprising some trees
POINTS OF INTEREST
- First floor: the main lobby as well as the main hangar for the fleet of vehicles, allowing dispatch of news crews all across the Caldera as well as the delivery of Sith Inquisitor hard copies

- Central tower: it contains the main gaming development studios of the company, responsible for the development of many of the video games sold by the Sith Inquisitor
- South tower: it contains the ergonmomic assessments division, housing staff dealing in ergonomic assessments as well as its support staff and structure
Originally built as a business park in 842 ABY, it had to offer low rents due to the peculiar business environments in the Stygian Caldera, with tenants being cycled in and out quickly until the Sith Inquisitor purchased the premises on the cheap by 848 ABY in a period where there were no tenants. It was a blessing for the building, finally having a stability in its occupants, with the newspaper taking up the entirety of the building since. Early in the Sith Inquisitor owning the premises, it was attacked by a band of Sith Order members in an infamous raid that provided a springboard to the newspaper's fortunes, allowing it to become a household name in the Caldera's news landscape. Today the Sith Inquisitor is regarded as the newspaper of record in the Stygian Caldera despite its editorial line; its headquarters is also home to the only known company selling ergonomic assessments in the Caldera, an internal division of the Sith Inquisitor.
