The world of Erinar burned in endless twilight, its molten rivers carving crimson scars across the land. For years it drew little attention from the Sith Order, dismissed as another volcanic wasteland fit for extraction and labor. Reconnaissance teams instead focused on worlds like Eriadu and Seswenna, where population and infrastructure promised faster gains. Erinar, lifeless and unstable, seemed unworthy of investment. That belief did not last.
The turning point came when a smuggler's freighter was taken during a routine patrol. The ship carried crates that appeared to contain simple ore, dull and unremarkable at first glance. Yet the guards who seized the cargo noticed the heavy shielding and layered containment built into each container. When the seals were broken, the truth became clear. The crates held crystals that glowed faintly, pulsing like living things, each wrapped in intricate safeguards. Initially dismissed as lava crystals, the kind used for energy production, they soon drew deeper scrutiny. The strange precautions around them hinted at something more, and the cargo was sent for study.
The results transformed Erinar's fate. The crystals, soon named Erinar Diamonds, proved to be volatile and immensely powerful. They generated energy with a purity that surpassed both kyber and magma, almost as if the two had fused into a single refined element. Their efficiency and stability under extreme pressure made them ideal for large-scale use. When news reached the Empress and her Council, it became clear that the discovery would shape the Order's future.
As the Sith campaign pressed deeper into the Firefist frontier, the potential of these crystals could not be ignored. They offered new possibilities for weaponry, shielding, and starship drives capable of sustaining war across vast distances. Erinar was swiftly secured and brought under the Order's control, its furnaces and mines turned toward production. Though far from the front lines, the planet now burns in service to the conquests to come, its power feeding the ever-hungry engines of Sith expansion.
Through what some might call aggressive negotiations, the source of the Erinar Diamonds was traced to a single cave buried deep within the planet's southern hemisphere. The crystals were found as a byproduct within an active ore processing facility, their presence hidden beneath layers of industrial extraction. As Sith teams move to secure the foundry and bring it under Order control, the discovery has already sparked a rush.
Many now seek to be the first to reach the cave and claim the crystals for their own ends, drawn by the promise of power and profit that glows within the molten dark. Yet caution is advised. These minerals are dangerously unstable, their energy volatile and unpredictable. One misstep could trigger a chain reaction capable of swallowing the cavern in fire. Proceed with speed, but temper it with care.
While lightsabers are the most obvious use for the newly discovered Erinar Diamonds, those with greater vision understand their potential reaches far beyond personal weapons. Their energy is refined and potent, yet remarkably stable once properly contained. Such power could reshape the foundation of Sith technology itself. In particular, attention has turned toward the Blackwall, the vast barrier whose strength has long defined the edge of Sith dominion. Repairs have always been slow, and true upgrades once seemed impossible.
Until now.
With the energy drawn from Erinar's molten depths, the Blackwall could be renewed and fortified on a scale never before imagined. Across the Order, discussion grows over how best to claim and use this resource, whether to harness local expertise or seize the mines outright, while operations to pacify the planet press forward without pause.
The annexation of Erinar has progressed faster than planned, leaving the planet caught between surrender and defiance. Across the molten plains and fractured strongholds, remnants of resistance still hold their ground while others lay down their arms in defeat. In the chaos that follows, opportunity thrives. Those with ambition and cunning will find room to move unseen and claim what the distracted and fallen have left behind. For the industrious, Erinar has become a world of chance, its fire still burning for those bold enough to reach into the heat and take what they desire.
