Sith Imperial Capital: Erebus

[DarthAlucard]

Size: Large
Population Capacity: Heavy
Environment: Temperate. Fields, rivers, and lakes all over. Artificial arctic northern pole.
Capital City: Oblivistadt
Notable Planetary Structures: Sith Imperial Citadel
Notable Satellites: Moon, Abyss; Defense stations at Lagrange Points; Sith Shipyard, in high orbit
Description: Erebus is a world of gentle, rolling hills, clear oceans, and a burnt, orange sky. Its location within a binary blue star system makes it a world of permanent twilight. Most vegetation is in the form of grasses, and small trees. On the surface, cities are few and far between. Scattered over the planet's surface are small, unimpressive hamlets, surrounding the spires of large black obelisks rising from the ground; a curious sight, indeed.

In fact, most of the planet's populous lives underground, in massive, sprawling complexes and under-cities. The structure of the planet is comparable to wrapping Old Coruscant inside of another, grassy planet.

The only structure notably Sith that is visible from the ground is the Sith Imperial Citadel, floating mere feet above the North Pole.

Sith Capital City: Oblivistadt

Description: Oblivistadt is a massive above-ground complex at the north pole of Erebus. Oblivistadt is comprised of two major structures: the Fortress-City, Oblivistadt, and the Citadel of Oblivion, which hovers just over the central tower, called the Altar of Naught.

The Citadel has an outer wall, with a central, large gate. While the city does maintain a civilian population, the vast majority of the populous is government. The Citadel breaks down to the following regions:
The Outer Wall, The Amethyst Foundation, The Inner Wall, The Pyramid of Power, Hall of Titans and the Seven Pillars of the Sith, The Tower of Darkness

The Outer Wall handled all incoming and outgoing trade from Oblivistadt, as well as the first line of defense. Several shield generators surround the wall in case of attack. There are four obelisks at the four corners of the Wall. Each can dock up to two Predator-class Star Destroyers.

Within the Wall is the Amethyst Foundation.

Atop the foundation is the Inner Wall, another defense and docking zone. Here, smaller ships can dock with the fortress-city.

Within the Inner Wall is the Pyramid of Power.

Beyond the pyramid is the Hall of Titans, and the Spires of the Sith.The Hall of Titans is a large heptagonal room with large, purple windows. At the center is a pillar with sith teaching scribbled all over it. Outside the Hall of Titans are the Pillars of the Sith.

Out of the Central pillar grows the Tower of Darkness. the Tower of Darkness is the central structure of the citadel. It is a long stairway, surrounded by seven more towers, the Spires of despair.

The Altar of Naught is the most guarded portion of Oblivistadt. While dwarfed and surrounded by the Spires of Despair, The Altar is far more important. Once one reaches the end of the stairs, One is sent through a permanent Corridor of Darkness to the outside, to the Altar. There, one will see the Sith's Throne, the final portion of Oblivistadt.

The Sith's Throne, despite its name, is nothing close to a throne. It is a pillar surrounded by eight spikes. A staircase winds around the pillar, to the top, which is a gravlift to the Citadel of Oblivion.

The Citadel is Oblivion's Private abode. Only high-ranking Sith are allowed to venture to the white Citadel that floats over the city.

[DarthCowardus]

A short distance beyond the highest satellites of Erebus, an Elennim scout emerged from hyperspace and hailed the planet, requesting a diplomatic audience in the name of the Unified Empire of the Mirai.  

[DarthAlucard]

As Scholars searched for data on the name "Mirai," Three Predator-class Stardestroyers closed in on the craft from different sides. A hail was sent back to the scout ship, giving it clearance to approach the capital at a speed no greater than 12,000KPH, with weapons and shielding powered down sans that needed for atmospheric reentry. The craft was accompanied to the atmosphere by four Zaku III Mobile Suits, and told that four Nightingale Fighters would meet it once it cleared reentry.  

[DarthCowardus]

The Elennim proceeded as directed, making atmospheric entry without shields. Scans would reveal that the ship possessed no weaponry whatsoever beyond the hollow vestiges of its two large cannons. In fact, the ship has been gutted, a vacuous white shell supported by jury-rigged repulsors and a cheap hyperdrive. It was even devoid of life, the only crew being a handful of plasma holographs.  

[DarthAlucard]

The four fighters decloaked around the scout, and the squadron leader hailed it once more, requesting confirmation of its destination, how many passengers/droids were aboard, and the size of the diplomatic party. The current thought was that the party consisted of protocol droids, since no life was aboard. However, this did not stop a Stardestroyer in orbit from keeping its weapons trailing- but not locked on to- the craft.  

[DarthCowardus]

The audio response was broadcast in Basic, confirming the Sith capital as the destination and stating that a diplomatic party of four holographs were onboard, the ship being automated.  

[DarthAlucard]

The ship was cleared to land at one of the inner Docking spires, where a Sith contingent would meet them.  

[DarthCowardus]

Landing as directed, four plasma holographs exited the ship's bay doors, three with the appearance of Mirai Marines and the fourth a sable-garbed Moriath. They awaited the Sith in silence as the ship sealed itself behind them.
