FIRST GALACTIC KAGGATH TOURNAMENT​

Welcome to the interest check and sign ups for the FIRST GALACTIC KAGGATH TOURNAMENT!

The tournament welcomes contenders from all factions as well as unaligned fighters. The tournament is inspired by the Sith Kaggath, an ancient customs which pits Sith Lords into a duel of annihilation. Our version appropriates this idea for a single-elimination bracket tournament over the course of 7 days per round with fun battles and real stakes.

That's right, real stakes. In the spirit of the Sith Kaggath, duelists will be putting both their credits and the equipment they bring on the line! Winners take it all, they receive any items the loser brought into the arena into their temporary stash. In the final round, the finalists will battle to receives everything entered into the tournament as the grand prize, plus more prizes!

To sign up as a contender, simply post below with your intention to participate, and we'll add you to the list. At the end of the week, we'll publish the brackets (single-elimination) and collect the entry fees.

I've got debts to pay. I'll find some way to get the buy-in fee before the start.

Only unique thing I can offer is the first sample of Phlegmite found off-world — the crystal in my spear.

Mauve will pay your buy in fee. And you can bring whatever weapons you wish, no need for it to be unique. But you might lose them if you are defeated!
