OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
SETTING INFORMATION
  • Astronomical Location Name: Imperial Graveyard
  • Classification: Other (Ship Graveyard)
  • Location: AK-10, near the bottom right corner of the hex.
  • Rotational Period: N/A
  • Orbital Period: N/A
  • Size: Massive
  • Affiliation: Sith Empire(Greater Maldrood)
  • Population: Insignificant Population
  • Demographics: N/A
  • Accessibility: The ship graveyard is located in deep space, next to no known hyperlane routes. The location in question would only be discoverable if one had the coordinates for the facility, as its location was determined via a random hyperspace jump. It is very modestly guarded and open only to select groups.
  • Description: Over an area spanning hundreds of kilometers lies a vast array of starships. Most of these vessels have a history, their battle-scorched plate speaking of wars against the Fel Imperium, against the Republic, or even against pirate bands formed from ex-Sith Empire fleets. These vessels have stayed within the preserving void of empty space for over two decades and are for all intents and purposes obsolete as warships - but their tremendous numbers would potentially prove a boon to whoever possessed them. The effort, however, to return this massive fleet to functional status is beyond sensible.
POINTS OF INTEREST
Several ships of note float within the graveyard. These include the Saturn, a Pluton-class Battleship of CIS vintage long stripped of its main guns, as well as the Tulak Hord-class Star Destroyer Iceni, former flagship of the 1st Fleet in New Order service. In the hangar of a derelict Cyracuse-class Drone Carrier, formerly belonging to the infamous Circe Savan herself, is a full squadron of TIE Spectre stealth fighters. Several Thrawn-class Interdiction Cruisers are located there as well, alongside a Monitor-class Corvette. There are also other, older vessels, like Invictus and Avarice-class Star Destroyers, that were considered obsolete even by the time of the New Order.

SECURITY: Medium
Security within the graveyard mostly consists of a few wings of preprogrammed SI-TIE/D Droid Starfighters following standard patrol routes. There are some traps within the graveyard - proximity sensors have been mounted on the hulls of some of the derelicts and, when active, will activate several TIE Detonators loaded with ordnance that will attempt to crash into the invading target. Since its rediscovery, a refitted Trigon Two orbital satellite has been reconfigured as a command post, connected to the proximity sensors and the droid brains of the patrolling starfighters - this Trigon Two lacks the cannon and instead has a small crew aboard monitoring the graveyard. Multiple Tryton-class Cargo Haulers regularly transport cargo containers into and out of the area. A single large molecular furnace is located at the edge of the shipyard, and Tyderium-class Hyperspace Tugs regularly tow worse-for-wear ships to the furnace for conversion into raw materials for the Nathema complex.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The New Order.

After the breakup of the Sith Empire, caused by the destructive infighting that occurred when Krag had become Emperor and Korriban had been lost to the Republic, the Imperial Navy was divided several ways. A portion surrendered to the Republic. Another portion went into the void, becoming pirates and brigands that preyed upon Imperial shipping. Still another followed the Sith who rose to prominence in the southern regions of the galaxy, becoming the foundation of the naval forces of the One Sith.

Yet some chose to stay with those who attempted to hold on to the Empire they had fought for, who wished to defend the Imperial ideals. Those became the foundations of the New Order's naval fleet. Initially beset by the loss of materiel thanks to the civil war, the newly found New Order was forced to lay up many ships, siphoning them of men and resources in order to continue fueling the fleet. These ships were left in a preselected location known to the higher ups of the New Order. When the remnant fell, the remaining ships were sent to the yard, their fuel siphoned, their crews scattered, and their hulks left to the cold mercy of the void. For twenty years, the New Order fleet has continued to float in the bleak darkness of space.

Upon Vanessa Vantai's return from her self-imposed exile, she immediately visited the graveyard to ensure the secrecy of its location had not been compromised by other New Order personnel. When production began of the Nathema Complex and its assembly lines, it was the graveyard that proved a relatively useful source of resources - some ships were taken to the molecular furnaces, while others, primarily former Subach vessels, were stripped down and rebuilt for sale to the open market, or even the Sith Empire that had arisen within the landscape of the original. The Nathema Orbital Complex itself was predominantly built from the smelted hulls of multiple Pellaeon II, Vader, and Tulak Hord-class Star Destroyers. Whether the graveyard will be discovered and pilfered, reused, or continue to serve as a source of resources, is yet to be seen, but one thing is certain - it is a haunting reminder of a dark day in the Sith's past where the Light came so close to illuminating the Dark.

I always dig more astronomical locations, they don't really get enough spotlight on the website as far as I am concerned. I need a few things corrected, before I can stamp this though.

Move the content of this section to the Security section underneath it and hyperlink to the factory subs or wikia pages for the tech you are using here. I am aware you are following the template, but it was a mistake within the template that has been since corrected.

Same here.

So just to be clear, all these ships you point out in the interest sections are unusable and are meant as sources of scrap and other materials, yes?

Also- I am gonna need you to up the security rating to at least medium, because that doesn't read like 'low' to me.
 
All of the ships listed on the New Order fleet manifest are between 3.5 and 4.5 years old OOCly. Most if not all of them are functionally obsolete and inferior to the mainline equipment of every major faction on the entire map. Any attempt to refit them would not only require new tech subs, but would also OOCly take far more effort than just melting the ships down and starting anew. Most have not been stripped of their components, and could theoretically be returned to some form of functional status - the TIE Detonators, for example, are of New Order vintage and were returned to full working order in order to function as a booby trap in order to incapacitate any unauthorized ships snooping in the graveyard. They just are worth more in scrap than they are in military value, which is why they're getting melted down for parts.

Also upped the security rating.
