Major Locations: The Shawken spire.
The Shawken Spire is a skyscraper located on the planet Shawken, in the financial district of the planet. Construction of the Spire took over nine millennia to complete, by which time the skyscraper had reached a low-orbit altitude.
The Spire became a popular Core Worlds tourist attraction before its destruction in 18,780 BBY. Thousands of years later, in 10,000 BBY, the historian Vicendi included the Spire in his list of the Twenty Wonders of the Galaxy.
By 43 ABY, the skyscraper had been rebuilt with more modern components and still stands to this day. After Darth Erebos took over Shawken the top 200 floors of the spire have been left to become off limits to the general public, with
the very top 50 floors becoming something of a sanctuary and luxury spot for members of the sith hierarchy to come to relax and enjoy themselves away from the turmoil of the galaxy and the lower 150 floors becoming the main offices of
Zuguruk Tyûk Industries and it's subsidiaries. With top of the line designing offices and talented engineers working in workshops on small scale inventions the those floors have become bustling with activity.
Major Locations: The Shawken Palace.
The large and opulent palace of the Shawken's royalty has stood for centuries, weathering the assaults of the forces of Naga sadow when he attacked the republic during the great hyperspace war. With defenses erected around it's large
walls the palace has been built like a fortress despite it's opulent exterior and is capable of weathering a planetary assault, complete with powerful shield generators that not only will encircle the planet but the palace itself as well.
With an entire catacomb, in name only though, with sculpted murals aimed at depicting each of the monarchs from the beginning of the royal lines ending with the newly made mural of Darth Erebos, first of his line. Hidden within these
catacombs however is the energy generators and shield generators of the palace.
Major Location: The frozen wrecks.
A large tundra almost a wasteland covered with wrecks of spaceships from the great hyperspace war. Left relatively untouched due to superstition and fear these wrecks might hold untold secrets of the sith and since Erebos's rule began several expeditions of the reclamation corps.
Culture: Modern high culture, little in the way of poverty within the populace of the planet itself.
Technology: Modern and closing in on advanced.
History:
Shawken is a Core World. It boasts one of the most ancient civilizations in the known galaxy, and is the home of the Shawkenese. Shawken is connected to Coruscant by the Shawken Spur. A proud populance with a varied history when it comes to conflict most notably their weathering of the assoult upon their world at the hands of naga sadows forces during the great hyperspace war. With that event the Shawken people and the ruling monarch at the time began focusing on industry and military foundation but still keeping to their peaceful ways. Among the pursuits of the Shawkenese people was the shawken spire which was destroyed due to it's ancient building materials however the spirit of the people of Shawken raised the structure again with more modern and sturdier building materials, for this time the spire would endure, and endure it did even till this day and through the Gulag place it endured along with it's people. They had surrendered to the One sith after they had conquered most of the core worlds. Talya Wayflame was the monarch at that time after her fathers untimely death, With an obsession towards the dark side and the sith themselves she began to study the dark side and the sith teachings but being of little force sensitivity wasn't allowed entry into the sith academies. With her frustrations mounting she began to harbor seditious thoughts against the one sith who had spurned her but when a disciplinary force, lead by Darth Erebs came she challenged him to a Kaggath with her world at stake, however the young queen and her most experienced royal guard were no match for Darth Erebos and through cunning manipulation he manipulated the fight so that the royal guard murdered the queen before a live broadcast of the fight to the entirety of Shawken. With that political maneuvering Erebos had not only sullied the queen along with the royal guards themselves and solidified his future rule as per the rules of Kaggath.
Notable PCs: Darth Erebos, Ruler of the planet.
Intent: To Make a more detailed listing of a canon planet with little in the way of information on the Wiki.
