OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Tomb of Darth Amandras grants instant dark-side force sensitivity to anyone who comes within the central chamber of the pyramid. Before it was closed off, it granted force sensitivity to anyone within a two-thousand mile radius of the area.
POINTS OF INTEREST
- The Entrance Door: The entrance door of the pyramid is specially designed only to be moved by using force levitation. It is far too heavy to move with any of the tecnology available, and you'll only get in if the door guards approve.
- The Antechambers: The main pyramid contains many chambers designed to confuse intruders and preventing them from accessing the central chamber quickly. They're filled with nothing.
- The Central Chamber: Holds the cremated remains of Darth Amandras in a finely crafted cortosis jar. The jar also is used a spirit holder for Darth Amandras' force ghost. It also contains a very complex (at least by the standards of the planet) lock that only a guard will be able to move.
SECURITY
Medium. The temple is defended by guards with metal staves and crossbows. Their force sensitivity allows them the power of a Sith Initiate with these weapons. They can also use rudimentary force powers like force push and a limited version of force lightning (similar to Plo Koon's electric judgement force power). The temple has various locks and various antechambers as well.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Four hundred years before the current date, Darth Amandras, a Sith Lord of the Sith Empire, was exiled for committing an act of treason. He stole several Sith artefacts and was condemned to death. He escaped into an unexplored nebula where he thought he'd never be found. He was correct.
On this planet, he discovered the descendants of shipwrecked human settlers who had degenerated into early Middle Aged primitives. He established his authority over them and established them into a centralized state. He thought many of them basic dark side powers to serve as his personal force sensitive army. However, he never managed to cheat death as he wanted, and created a mausoleum in the form of a pyramid where he was cremated and put into a specially crafted cortosis jar which could not be broken with a lightsaber and was too powerful to crack open even with a blaster.
After his death, his generals jockeyed for power, eventually destroying the one-world government he created and turning it into a collection of small fiefdoms for themselves. Realizing that Darth Amandras' death had created a powerful force nexus, they fortified the mausoleum even more, awarding their dark side sensitive kin and colleagues monopoly on force sensitivity, awarding themselves noble titles, only marrying among themselves, and oppressing the non force sensitive population.
This continued unabated for the time since then. Darth Amandras has prophesied that a great dark-side redeemer would come and lead them into a new age. What Darth Amandras meant exactly was that the Sith Empire would eventually explore the nebula, find them, and integrate them into the Empire. As Saako Exploration and Shipping, run by the Lady of the SIth Ela Saako, discovered the planet once more, the prophecy is about to come true.

- Nexus Name: The Tomb of Darth Amandras
- Nexus Alignment: Dark. It is the tomb of a power Sith Lord
- Location: Amandras III (see Links in OOC Information)
- Affiliation: None. The tomb was explicitly closed to make it neutral so none would use it. A few guards guard it
- Size: Medium. It is the size of a small underground tomb with several chambers and antechambers. However, it has enough power to cover a sizable area of an entire planet and, if it weren't closed, it would.
- Strength: Medium. It is quite strong, albeit closed off to most. When it wasn't closed off, it influenced a large part of the planet Amandras III, though since it was closed off, it only affects the tomb itself.
- Accessibility: Very, very hard to access. At least for the pre-industrial population of the planet. The tomb grants instant force sensitivity, and the powers that be within Amandrasian society do not want their power to be given to others. It is heavily guarded by special force sensitive guards, it is very hard to find (being in the middle of a large rainforest) and one won't hope to stumble upon it unless a very specific route is taken.
- Description: The Tomb of Darth Amandras is essentially a small pyramid made of stone that is located in a very secluded area of the planet. It is essentially similar to the tomb of an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh, with a small tomb in the middle with varying chambers and antechambers, with a shrine carrying the cremated remains (as well as the spirit) of Darth Amandras.
The Tomb of Darth Amandras grants instant dark-side force sensitivity to anyone who comes within the central chamber of the pyramid. Before it was closed off, it granted force sensitivity to anyone within a two-thousand mile radius of the area.
