SETTING INFORMATION
- Military Base Name: The Whip
- Classification: Arena Outpost / Criminal Stronghold
- Location: Faldos
- Affiliation: Red Scars Syndicate
- Population: Moderate (Primarily Red Scars enforcers, combatants, handlers, and overseers)
- Demographics: Mixed-species composition. Predominantly Human, Epicanthix, Zabrak, Nikto, and Weequay.; Outlaws, Sith cultists, gladiators, and cartel agents
- Accessibility: Located in the backwater hinterlands of Faldos, beneath a sun-scorched mesa. Hidden from orbital scans by interference fields. Accessible via encrypted syndicate star lanes and guarded tunnel roads. Public fights are rare; entry is otherwise restricted to members, initiates, and challengers.
- Description:
Once a outlaw colosseum built during the Republic era, The Whip is now a brutal crucible of violence, ruled by blood and fire. Towering durasteel walls ring an ferrocrete-paved arena where enforcers prove loyalty, rivals are broken, and prisoners fight for survival. Beneath the mesa mountain lies a wall maze of barracks, cells, ritual rooms, armories, and command chambers, all suffused with Sith iconography and cartel graffiti. The stench of blood, ash, and oil permeates the air. Training never stops. Screams echo day and night.
POINTS OF INTEREST
- The Arena Proper:
A massive circular fighting pit surrounded by jagged tiered stands. Runes of Sith alchemy are etched into the arena floor to enhance pain and aggression. Executions, blood trials, and duels take place here. Also serves as a landing pad for Syndicate enforcers and guest. - The Chainhall:
A grand hallway inside the arenas wall where enforcers and gladiators are mustered before battle. Chains hang from the ceilings and walls; carved statues of dead champions loom over the resident syndicate enforcers. - The Kennels:
Where Red Scars warbeasts and augmented fighters are kept—starved, drugged, and conditioned to kill on command. - The Overseer's Loft:
A command room on the wall overlooking the arena, fitted with plasteel-glass walls and guarded by elite syndicate enforcers. Used by Syndicate lieutenants to monitor fights, place bets, dispatch enforcers and pass judgment. - The Crucible:
Training pits filled with rotating environmental hazards (lava bursts, electrified walls, toxin vents) used to break new initiates and forge warriors through unrelenting trial.
SECURITY
- Security Rating: High
- Defensive Assets:
- Red Scars garrison (heavily armored syndicate enforcers)
- Concealed anti-air turrets along the canyon rim

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Originally built by the Underworld-aligned rulers of Faldos as a colosseum for executions and gladiatorial spectacles during their occupation, The Whip fell into ruin after the conquest by the Sith Empire. Rediscovered and repurposed by the Red Scars Syndicate, it was transformed into a brutal proving ground for Syndicate enforcers, assassins and acolytes—the Red Scars. Today, it serves not only as a fortress and recruitment ground, but also as a hub of underground gambling, bloodsport entertainment, and political punishment within the criminal underworld sanctioned by SISA. Victors of the arena rise in rank. Losers feed the lava pits.
