[ The Imperial Confederation's INVASION of the Sith Order held "Thandon Star Cluster" Superhex ]
LAUNCH POINT: Minntooine hex.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 30TH, 2025.
Thandon Star Cluster, Outer Rim Territories;
Brosi, Dostra system, Corporate Sector.
SITH ORDER CLIENT-VASSAL STATE.
902 ABY -- Planetshift Era.
"It was the spark that ignited the storm.
The declaration came with extreme prejudice-- an ironclad ultimatum from the newly-forged nascent Imperial Confederation, a militarized alliance of Imperial remnants found in the Outer Rim systems united under a single, ruthless doctrine: stability through domination. Their target? The ancient and fractious Sith Order, whose grip over the Thandon Star Cluster had turned the region into a crucible of terror and arcane tyranny.
I remember the moment well. The skies above Brosi lit up with the arrival of Confederation dreadnoughts-- massive, angular behemoths slicing through hyperspace like blades. In a single solar rotation, orbital defenses fell. Sith enclaves, once hidden and untouchable in the realms of the Stygian Caldera, were dragged into brutal daylight by precision strikes and shadow operatives.
This wasn't just a war—it was a reckoning. The Confederation didn't seek to conquer the Sith. They meant to eradicate them.
As a historian, I must remain impartial. But in those first hours, as decades-old Sith strongholds burned and ancient secrets turned to ash, even I could feel it: the Force itself held its breath.
History would remember the Invasion of Thandon not merely as a clash of factions—but as the opening chapter in the death throes of the Sith Order itself..."
-- Excerpts of an historian recounting The Imperial Confederation's declaration of war upon the Sith Order and the all out assault upon the Thandon Star Cluster.
INVASION OF THE THANDON STAR CLUSTER, BROSI, DOSTRA SYSTEM.
STARDATE: 300725.
They arrived swiftly, under Imperial-Decree from the highest echelons of government. With efficiency, the Imperial Military moved to occupy the long-abandoned Lost-Imperial territory of Minntooine!
Resistance had been minimal. The local warlord’s militia collapsed after he was captured, and within days, the planet’s dormant orbital shipyards and planet-side drydocks roared back to life as they were driven back into service for the indomitable, churning Imperial junta and military complexes revitalized in the second IMPERIAL OCCUPATION of the Outer Rim systems.
In the months that followed, Minntooine was reborn as a hub of engineering and ship manufacture, just as it had been under General Teckla Tane. The Imperial War-Machine demands vessels, and by reclaiming this star system, they are set to be delivered in earnest. Troop levels in orbit of the planet and on it's surface increased expediently. New legions of the Imperator Corps were trained beneath its skies. Fleets began to patrol the system in ever-tightening formations.
All personnel knew-- no, felt-- that something was coming. No one knew what. Not until the orders came.
They arrived without fanfare, without announcement.
Just in silence and in motion.
As the banners were set to be raised to christen in an Iron Sunset upon blood-red crimson skies.
Under strict secrecy, a second decree had been issued-- time sealed and distributed via heavily encrypted channels across the Imperial occupied Outer Rim systems. Even fleets operating under full blackout received their marching orders by hand, delivered by agents of the Imperial Secret Service. Heroes and villains-- handpicked and therefore gathered from the four Imperial remnants consolidated and unified underneath nascent rule of Liraeth Deschart-- convened to be debriefed on the plans of the Empress under the directives of PROJECT TION!
Later,within hours, the skies of Minntooine swelled with war fleets. Radio channels flooded with clearances and confirmations. Drill fields emptied as legions packed up and vanished into transports. The truth was now undeniable:
The Imperial Confederation were going to war with the Sith Order!
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!
OUR IRON SUN SHALL SET UPON THE TYRNNICAL CRIMSON SKIES OF YOUR UNRULY SITH HOLY WORLDS!
THE CORPORATE SECTOR SHALL FALL TO OUR NASCENT CONFEDERATION!
THE IMPERIAL REMNANTS ARE RESURGENT ONCE MORE UNIFIED BY OUR SUPREME EMPRESS!
THANDON SHALL FALL!
LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!
The Imperial-Invasion forces waited until the final moment to show their hand.
In perfect synchrony, hyperspace routes across the Thandon Star Cluster lit up with Imperial signatures. The assault was surgical, sudden, and overwhelming! Dromund Kaas, Korriban, and Ziost were each attacked simultaneously. The strategy was deliberate: force the Sith to defend everything, and in doing so, defend nothing!
But while the many eyes of the Sith Order focused on this lightning campaign attacking key worlds, another strike force-- smaller than the others, but still formidable in it's might-- went for another target:
The Cantorian Blight afflicted world of BROSI!
It was a name barely whispered in strategic briefings. Known primarily for its natural reserves of Zinsian (a dry preservative) and Hfredium (a rare industrial metal needed in the production of certain alloys) Brosi had once been a temperate forest world, rich with life and commerce with a hub for tourism even beneath the veil of the dread BLACKWALL!
That until the Candorian Blight!
The infection swept across the planet with horrifying speed. It devoured forests, poisoned lakes, and killed tens of thousands. Civilization withered in weeks. The once-bustling fortress-city of Shoengen, a once-upon-a-time vibrant mercantile centre, fell silent with their great industrial plants laying near dormant as the streets below became hollow echoes of a lost world; and yet the skies still bled smoke under the tyrannical, merciless rule of the SITH for not even the blight would stop their indomitable quotas as they marched upon the stars themselves!
Ore-Dukes (technocrats originally installed by the Warlords of the Sith and retained by the Sith Order through promises of impossible production quotas that only they could claim to deliver) had turned to fire in an attempt to deal with the blight. From atop their gilded Mega-Towers, they watched as their mercenaries (aided by the few remaining Sith troops) shovelled infected corpses into vast burn pits. Columns of ash rose like grave markers across the skyline. Dystopia has truly claimed this once vibrant, lush world that was once again upon a time a hub of tourism during the days of the Corporate Sector Authority.
But for the Imperial Confederation, Brosi was an opportunity. A world under quarantine. Their defenders distracted and command structures brittle after the all out assault upon the Sith client state. It was the weak link of the Thandon Cluster; a chance to seize valuable resources, extract intelligence, and establish a planetary foothold before the Sith could mount a defence, or so they were led to believe, for the power of the dark side has proven to be blinding.
So, let the Sith Order scramble and exhaust themselves to defend their sacred worlds!
Meanwhile, we shall ensure our victory with the fall of Brosi, and with it the first crack in the Sith' foundation, as a new paradigm takes shape along the Outer Rim Territories!
Objective I - Storm the Tower!
[PvP 1v1]
The Brosian Ore Conglomerate Mega-Tower stands tall in the middle of the fortress-city of Shoengen.
A monument to when Grox Dovark (with the help of the Warlords of the Sith) managed to oust the previous ore conglomerate, this once-upon-a-time a hub of commerce, trade, and ambition now looms over the city like a tombstone. Five hundred and six stories of sealed vaults, offices, penthouses, and automated security systems sit locked beneath a city drowning in the catastrophic, deadly and infectious CANTORIAN BLIGHT UNLEASHED BY THE TECHNOCRAT
Asmonga
!Despite all of the deadly circumstances plaguing this region of Shoengen, the nascent, invading Imperial Confederation wants something from this building more valuable than the ore extracted from the planet: DATA!
Encrypted logs, payment chains, Sith correspondence, and facility blueprints-- all of these items are scattered across private server rooms in the sub-floors and the executive terminals in the penthouse offices ripe for the taking.
The only caveat is this... The building is on complete lockdown to friend and foe alike! The Ore-Dukes have activated every security protocol, and a short circuit somewhere is causing the automated turrets, security droids, and biometric systems to flag everyone as a hostile entity. One false move and you might find yourself among the heaps of the infectious dead being incinerated nearby.
The question isn’t what to do. It’s how to do it.
Objective II - Seize the Means of Production!
[War Posting, 1v1, Starfighter Dogfights]
When the planet was originally under the control of the Corporate Sector Authority, they built three Zinsian processing plants: Delta 1, Delta 2, and Malior. Since then, the Brosian Ore Conglomerate has built several other facilities to keep up with the staggering production quotas imposed by the Sith-backed Ore-Dukes.
Due to the Candorian Blight, most of these sites are working with skeleton crews. Their production quotas have grinded to a standstill. However, the infrastructure is still there, and because of the planet’s quarantine, Zinsian can still be found in storage tanks and unrefined Hfredium can still be moved. These facilities and the resources therein have been deemed strategic and valuable to the Imperial Confederation and their invading war machine!
Imperator Corps legions, walker companies, and TIE squadrons descend across the region, targeting these facilities and their storage platforms. Seizing the facilities will accelerate the Confederation military expansion put into motion under the directives of PROJECT TION and therefore disrupt the Sith Order' logistics.
Who will you find on this battlefield?
Objective III - The Battlefield is Constant Chaos!
[Bring Your Own Objective - Fleeting, Bounty Hunting]
The THANDON STAR CLUSTER suddenly finds itself at war, and while the quarantined world of Brosi becomes a surprising battlefield below, the armadas of the nascent IMPERIAL CONFEDERATION loom in the black-ink canvas of space!
Imperial-Grade Star Destroyers (recently refurbished and fresh from the directives of SUPREME COMMANDER MARLON SULAREN in preparation for war) engage with the dreaded capital ships of the ELEVENTH SITH EMPIRE!
Meanwhile, as the Confederation-Imperials square off against the Dark Lords of the Sith, the sinister Bounty Hunters have also descended onto the afflicted world of Brosi on the hunt for Imperials and Sith alike. Will you find your target and earn yourself a score?
Or, perhaps, you are a mere civilian, entrepreneur or refugee landlocked to the planet during the months of quarantine placed upon Brosi and now this is your opportunity to escape the tyranny of the Sith-backed Ore-Dukes or the looming dystopia of Imperial Confederation rule?
Maybe you are one of the few of the criminal underworld brave enough to traverse the ruined, war-torn landscapes of Brosi to steal some of them rare ores you heard about?
The possibilities are endless.
