SETTING INFORMATION
- Military Base Name: The Red Pit
- Classification: Industrial Compound / Syndicate Command Node
- Location: Jutrand – Lower Industrial Districts

- Syndicate Boss: Odrin Rath
- Oversight Entity: Sith Imperial Sanitation Authority (SISA)
- Population: Heavy

- Demographics:
Mixed-species composition. Predominantly Human, Epicanthix, Zabrak, Nikto, and Weequay.
High concentration of criminally-inclined Force-sensitives, former Sith acolytes, and gang veterans. - Accessibility: Extremely Restricted
- Located deep beneath the rust-choked underlayers of Jutrand's industrial waste zone, The Red Pit is protected by decoy refineries, locked grav-lifts, coded train lines, and misdirection networks. Entry is granted only via encrypted clearance codes or manual retrieval by the syndicate.
- Description:
The Red Pit is a massive, subterranean foundry hollowed out and reforged into a militarized bastion of blood, fire, and Sith doctrine. Blending ancient Sith iconography with brutalist industrial architecture, its walls run with molten waste, and its halls echo with chants, screams, and the clash of training blades. Part fortress, part temple, part prison—it serves as the syndicate's primary command hub and the indoctrination ground for recruits, initiates, and prisoners fated to rise or die.
POINTS OF INTEREST
- The Crucible Hall:
Central indoctrination chamber for Force-sensitive initiates. A ringed arena bathed in red lighting and surrounded by Sith inscriptions. Used for trials, executions, and rites of passage. - Command Overlook:
Elevated bridge chamber from which Odrin Rath and his lieutenants direct operations. Features surveillance relays, encrypted comm stations, and a central throne forged from captured blasters. - The Chain Bunkers:
Barracks carved into rusted refinery tunnels. Packed, rough, and controlled by pit bosses. The air is heavy with oil, heat, and menace. - Refinery Catacombs:
A maze of still-active, redirected furnaces and toxic vents. Used for body disposal, secretive rituals, and forges for illegal blaster weaponry. - The Blood Channel:
An underground gladiatorial trench where disputes are settled, loyalty is tested, amusements for the upper tier are held and exile punishment zones for failed initiates. - The Fume Spires:
Twisting exhaust towers that punch through the surface, disguised as derelict factories. Used for secretive hangars, shadow communications, and local atmospheric manipulation.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Originally constructed as an Old Republic ore refinery during the Great Galactic War, this industrial zone was later abandoned and buried beneath the sprawling decay of Jutrand's lower sectors. Rediscovered by Sith-Imperial agents, the facility was converted by the Sith Imperial Sanitation Authority into a black-site detention and execution center. Serving as both a command center and indoctrination site for new members. This base supports criminal operations, Sith training, and internal hierarchy management.
Upon rising to power, Odrin Rath seized control of the facility during a covert purge of dissenters within the SISA. He reshaped it into The Red Pit—a center for indoctrination, ritual crucibles, and operational planning for the Red Scars Syndicate. The base has since grown into a dark monument of control, suffering, and power beneath Jutrand's surface—feared even by other Sith.
