The Sanctuary was protected by overlapping concentric rings of anti-starfighter emplacements and redundant shield generators.
- Tor Valum's Mausoleum: Located beneath the Emperor's Sanctum is the resting place of the ancient Dark Lord Tor Valum, constructed out of black basalt brick with white mortar and decorated with various Sith and Zeffo imagery. An extensive study of the chamber has revealed various references to Mortis, the Mortis Gods, and the Loth-Wolves of Lothal.
- Subterranean Production Network: Excavated at the behest of the Sith Emperor, his cultists constructed a vast underground system of manufactories which could produce armor, weapons, droids, and starships of any given dimension as long as there was appropriate material. Each production bay was connected to the surface by a long triangular shaft covered by a pair of retracting shutters.

- Culture: Though much of the lost civilization of Remnicore is unknown, what is blatantly inferred is that they were highly militant people who were influenced by both the ancient Sith and the ancient Zeffo. From uncovered archaeological evidence, the now-extinct natives of Remnicore were visited by both the Sith and the Zeffo at different points in their long history. The Sith introduced them to the Dark Side of the Force, while the Zeffo introduced them to the Light Side of the Force. For a time, Remnicore lived in harmony with both sides of the Force until the balance was upset by the Sith, and Remnicore was dragged into a war with the Jedi which ended in the planet's utter annihilation. All that remained of their culture were the artifacts found in their desiccated fortresses and across the countless battlefields which littered the dead world.
- Government: Theocratic Dictatorship
- Affiliation: Kyantkoshûjontû (Black Empire)
- Wealth: Poor
- The entirety of Remnicore's planetary population was wiped out thousands of years ago, and what remained of their once prosperous civilization was reduced to ruin through the degradation of time. No infrastructure remains to continue trade and commerce with any outside entities, even if they were aware of the ruined world. Though the planet has seen an uptick in activity as Carnifex and his followers moved in, they did not instigate new commercial endeavors.
- Stability: High
- Being the only living creatures that now occupy Remnicore are the cultists and soldiers of the Dark Lord of the Sith, all minds are driven to his worship and servitude to his will. No dissenting or rebellious thought have trespassed on the dead world of Remnicore since the Sith's intrusion.
- Freedom & Oppression: The Kyantkoshûjontû rules over the cultists and soldiers it has transferred to Remnicore with visceral brutality, with the Sith Emperor acting like an absolute dictator and many of the cultists serving as little more than slaves to further his agenda. Most, however, are mind-addled by the Dark Side of the Force to serve without hesitation or reserve, giving up their lives in pursuit of the Dark Lord's insidious goals.
- Military: In the ancient past the world of Remnicore was a formidable bastion of ferocious warriors empowered by both the Light and Dark Side of the Force. Now, the forces of the Sith Emperor Carnifex reign supreme across the dead planet. His starships fill the upper atmosphere while his soldiers stand vigilant atop dizzying precipices of ancient stone reinforced by modern steel. The Emperor's control of Remnicore is total.
- Technology: Archaeological excavations have uncovered technology similar to that of the ancient Sith and the ancient Zeffo, with several inoperable Tomb Guardians discovered inside the Mausoleum of Tor Valum and other locations with a heavy Zeffo presence. The Sith Emperor has tasked his scientists with the restoration of these automatons and the reverse engineering of their mechanisms.
In the ancient annuls of Remnicore it was said that the original inhabitants were a prideful six-eyed species of alien who were militantly inclined. For eons, they evolved and advanced in relative obscurity and solitude, but that changed by the arrival of two important visitors to their isolated world. The first was the Zeffo, a species from the Outer Rim planet bearing the same name that was expanding their culture across the stars to far-flung and distant worlds like Dathomir and Kashyyyk. They brought their knowledge of the Force, which they had referred to as the Life Wind, and taught what they knew to the native Remnicorans. The second was the Sith of Korriban, who were likewise spreading their culture across neighboring systems through the power of the Dark Side, which they also taught to the Remnicorans.
Sith and Zeffo colonists intermingled with the Remnicorans, blending their cultures together into something new as the centuries came and went. Though inclined towards martial strength and battle, the Zeffo had taught the Remnicorans the virtues of peace and tranquility. There existed a balance of harmony between the Light and the Dark on Remnicore, and the people grew prosperous under several successive wise rulers known as the Sages. Ruling jointly from a glittering citadel at the spiritual heart of Remnicore, they guided the Remnicorans on the path to enlightenment and cosmic balance.
That was until the rise of Tor Valum.
Tor Valum was considered a prodigy on Remnicore, a being of stark Zeffo descent, who was trained to one day rise to the position of Sage as his ancestors had in the generations before his birth. He grew haughty and arrogant as he matured, bolstered by the pride of his birthright and his strong connection to the Force. He surpassed others in his generation, even surpassing his peers and tutors on his rise to prominence. He began to view the Light Side as weak, restricting. Upon his ascension to Sage, he fully embraced the Dark Side of the Force and established himself as the premier ruler of all Remnicore with his increasingly destructive powers.
His rise drew the attention of the Dark Lords of the Sith, who arrived on Remnicore and inducted Tor Valum into their ranks. He too became a Dark Lord of the Sith, and his brutal oppression of his people only increased as the Sith occupied Remnicore as his enforcers. Tor Valum learned much from the Sith and practiced his newfound knowledge on the weak and helpless, vampirically draining their life energies until all that remained were shriveled husks.
Tor Valum lived an unnaturally long life, buoyed by his strength in the Dark Side and the countless innocents he fed to prolong his own existence. He was eventually destroyed during the Great Hyperspace War as the Jedi tore apart the Sith Empire he had enthusiastically joined. In a fit of madness, Tor Valum unleashed a superweapon of his own design against the Jedi and his own people.
In an instant, all life was drained from Remnicore in a pulse of vampiric Dark Side energy.
Only Tor Valum survived, the despot of a now empty and lifeless world. He would eventually succumb to the ravages of the Dark Side in his solitude, encasing himself in the mausoleum he constructed by his own hand mere moments before his own demise.
Remnicore would be lost to time as it faded into obscurity.
Thousands of years later, the Dark Lord of the Sith Kaine Zambrano would rediscover the world during a pilgrimage in the throes of the Dark Side of the Force. He would uncover Tor Valum's mausoleum and learn of the world's history through the pictographs inscribed on the tomb's walls, and he would make the planet known only to a select few in the galaxy. As the fires of war raged across the cosmos, the Dark Lord of the Sith would establish himself a hidden kingdom upon Remnicore in preparation for the great destiny he was certain that would be his to inherit.
