AMBIENCE
Deep in the unknown regions lay strange and far-off planets the likes of which most in the galaxy had never even heard of. Alien atmospheres, living and malicious oceans that devoured all life around them. There was even rumored to be one where the laws of reality bent to the whims of...
Mustafar was well known for being an old hub of Sith activity. The lava-covered refinery planet was home to Fortress Vader, which had been repurposed by other Sith in the Empire. It was a horrible planet, full of ash, volcanic gas, and a high enough ambient temperature to scorch skin right off...
Korriban, Sith Academy
1137 local time
Ever since the Drommund Kaas academy's destruction at the hand of Free Worlds commandos, Soleil had felt like his life was steadily approaching a sense of chaos. Temporary housing with like eight other students, remote classes with questionable...
Almas, Approaching the Ancient Temple
1517 local time
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
More and more frequently, Soleil had been coming to Almas to...
Considering neither he nor Zoella were especially soldiery types, Soleil wasn't quite sure how they'd gotten into their present predicament. He only understood they needed to fight their way out of it. During a transitory step of their travels, they'd found themselves on a backwater planet in a...
Soleil was still obsessed with absorbing books in the Sith archives and finding interesting patterns in the most obscure information. A new series of clues- and a lengthy essay- even got him the go-ahead to act on some of it! An official Imperial adventure was just the kind of thing he needed...
OOC: Open to Sith
Dorumaa, Tropix Resort
Music
Soon after Red Team's smashing Huttball win, it'd been decided a party was in order to celebrate! Using connections and shenanigans from an official Sith mission, Zoella and Soleil had arranged for just that on the outer rim planet of Doruuma. A...
Not counting Ithor, Soleil had no real experience in an actual warzone. He had volunteered out of necessity for the academy and everything, and he did want the experience. Hours in a warzone contributed greatly to prestige. Ambition and story did sometimes fall short of the hard reality...
Chemistry class was one that Soleil usually enjoyed well enough. The professor for it usually spoke in a kind of vaguely sinister monotone that implied to the Wrean's imagination a prior career as a saboteur, but they did plenty of actual lab work. He memorized formulas and things well but was...
Taris, 2137
In the dark of the night, beneath the clouds of polluted fog and flying speeders, Taris was little more than just another hive of scum and villainy. Below the shiny windows and well-funded public works, its undercity rotted away under the influence of gangs and criminals. Sure...
Despite how quiet Sol was and the subsequently reduced attention he got, the silent acolyte actually did well at the academy. Memorization and problem solving came especially to him. His good marks, combined with his goal for getting unrestricted access to Sith archives across their space...
Ambria, Approaching Lake Natth
1849 local time
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Most sane souls would consider Ambria a cursed place. Long ago in...
MUSIC
There'd been one of several puzzles of sorts Sol'd sought to solve, inquisitive toward the patterns he'd found in old books, records, and writing. Recently his research hobbies had actually gotten him somewhere, some coordinates to a word past generations of the Jedi Order tried to bury...
This wasn't the first time Sol was on some other Sith's ship and with any luck, it wouldn't be the last, either. Maybe it'd been his grades finally getting some attention or, just as likely, his name was picked out of a hat. Either way, his curiosity was quickly getting the better of him...
Mixed academy field trip! Usually something Sol looked forward to even if some of them were basically mandatory. He liked seeing new things, plain and simple. Problem with this trip, in particular, was that it was to Moraband which, yes, very cool, very historic. But also hot and dry. Not...
It is said, in some circles, that everyone always wants to go back to Jakku for some reason or other. Soleil vehemently disagreed with that entire notion, but here he still was. On the one hand, he was here with Aadya to look for something important, buried treasure, which was stuff he loved...
Sol was back on Taris not too long after the party. The local academy, a newer one, had a completely different library than Drommund Kaas. Lots of military theory, war and political philosophy, stuff like that. He still had Korriban's on his list to visit- he was this close to getting a permit-...
Academy life for Sol was a mixed bag of feelings and opinions. On the one hand, the silent acolyte devoured new knowledge like a man starved. On the other, the day by day into weeks could feel dully monotonous rather quickly. Particularly with his bookworm habits. Not that he was never seen...
One benefit of all the for-fun reading and research Soleil went through was he sometimes stumbled across some tidbit of information that looked promising. Tracking down more clues and hints got him a place to explore in the Outer Rim, the prospect of leaving behind the stillness of temple life...
Sol spent an inordinate amount of spare time reading about one or the other subject, absorbing knowledge at a ludicrous pace. His tendency to leap down the rabbit hole of whatever subject he'd last latched onto was precisely what lead him to being spurred into actually doing something with...
