HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Malgus Prime, originally known as Malgus IX, was discovered by Sith explorers during the Great Sith War. Its harsh volcanic landscape and strong dark side resonance made it an ideal location for Sith rituals and training. The planet was colonized by the Sith, who erected temples, fortresses, and citadels dedicated to the dark side.

Over the centuries, Malgus Prime became a hub of Sith activity, attracting dark side practitioners from across the galaxy. It played a pivotal role during the New Sith Wars, serving as a stronghold for the Sith Brotherhood of Darkness. However, it fell into relative obscurity after the defeat of the Brotherhood.

It was only in recent times that Darth Valor, a powerful Sith Lord, rediscovered Malgus Prime. He claimed the planet as his own, renaming it Malgus Prime in his honor. With his loyal followers, Darth Valor has transformed the planet into a fortress of dark side power, using its resources to further his ambition of Sith supremacy.

The Abyssal Nexus, a powerful dark side Force nexus, was discovered deep within the planet's core. It became the focal point of Darth Valor's power and the source of his influence over the planet's population. Under his rule, Malgus Prime has become a bastion of the dark side, a place where Sith traditions are upheld, and the will of the Sith Lords is enforced with ruthless efficiency.

I’m going to be helping you with this submission and get this approval rolling for you.

Let’s start the General information section:

1. Please provide the hex you would like the planet located. Even if you don’t plan on putting it on the map this will help other writers know exactly where on the map it is located.

2. Major Imports are rather vague. What kind of technology are they importing? What kind of luxury good and exotic resources? Since you describe the planet as barren how are the armies being fed?

3. Major Exports could use some work as well. I am not sure a Sith would sell off artifacts or relics to make money, but that’s just me. The rare crystals are promising, maybe there are precious stones or something as well.

Now let’s move on to Population:

In this section I would love to see you expand on the culture. You mention every day life revolves around Sith and dark side rituals. How so? What does that look like?

Moving on to the Government section:

1. Affiliation needs a link to Darth Valor please.

2. Freedom and Oppression needs to be expanded on. You do cover that Valor rules the planet with an iron grip, but it also seems like those on the planet are Sith disciples. How is he oppressing them if they can come and go as they please? Which leads me to the fact you do not speak to how free the people on the planet are. What does this look like? Are they all serving Valor? Are they pilgrims that are relatively free to do as they wish? It would really help anyone writing on the planet understand the dynamics.

Finally let’s address Military and Technology:

There seems to be a conflict here between dark side imbued war machines and below standard technology. Where are the war machines coming from? Perhaps this is the technology being imported under major imports? There are a couple of ways to fix that.

Look at these items and tag me when you’re ready for me to take another look!

Cheers!
