Atlas | Mustafar

The Mustafar system includes the planet Mustafar and the moon Nur

Mustafar

Grid Location: L-19

Sector: Atravis Sector 

Region: Outer Rim 

Terrain: Hot, ash-laden and stormy.

Native Species: Mustafarians

Population: ~ 20.000

Commanding Officer: Deputy director Lan Vardo

Capital: Fralideja

History: Mustafar was once a garden world nourished by the Bright Star artifact, but its orbit was shifted when Lady Corvax unleashed the energies of the Bright Star in an attempt to return her husband to life. The resulting gravimetric duel between the gas giants Jestefad and Lefrani over Mustafar heated the planet's core, transforming the lush world into an imbalanced volcanic hellscape. 

Acquired by the Techno Union over three hundred years before the Clone Wars, Mustafar's lava flows were mined for unique and valuable minerals. It was also home to the Black Sun crime syndicate, whose headquarters was located near the mining town that became known as Zitontown. As part of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, the Techno Union on Mustafar produced thousands of battle droids for the Separatist Droid Army. Following the purge of the separatist council by Darth Vader, Mustafar came under the ownership of the Galactic Empire after the Techno Union and its assets were nationalized. Sidious had new facilities built on the planet, where more Force-sensitive infants were taken and transformed into agents of the Inquisitorius. As black sun left the planet for a more secure location, the Mining Guild took on contracts under the Empire.

Vader returned to the site of his greatest defeat and, with the help of the ancient Sith Lord Darth Momin, erected the massive monolith Fortress Vader to serve as his personal sanctum, built on the site of a former Sith temple. The Mustafarians resisted the Imperial occupation of their homeworld and attempted to drive them from Mustafar by launching multiple assaults on Fortress Vader without ever completely suceeding. 

Mustafar fell into obscurity following Vader's demise at the Battle of Endor, though After the destruction of the Bright Star, the planet's ecosystem slowly began to heal from the devastation it had endured for centuries prior. Many devout pilgrims journeyed to the ruins of Fortress Vader, hoping to tap into the late Sith's dark power. Now the former imperial resources left are contended by returning Black sun members and local Mustafarians trying to make up for two decades of subjugation. 

Objective: The Ashlon Empire aims to reclaim the assets left in the fortress and scattered bases, restart factory and mining operatios and study the sith temple hidden beneath vader's castle.

Nur

Grid Location: L-19

Sector: Atravis Sector 

Region: Outer Rim 

Terrain: Planet-spanning oceans

Native Species: None

Population: 2.659 (Ashlon ISB)

Commanding Officer: Direcor Vido kolon

History: Nur is covered in sodium-rich water and had no natural land masses charted. There was also an apparent lack of indigenous sentient life, leaving the heavily secured underwater Fortress Inquisitorius, as the only known structure on the moon. After an incident on Coruscant, it was used as the headquarters of the Inquisitorius and to contain captured Jedi. 

After the death of most inquisitors the planet was reassigned as an ISB listening station, which managed to stay out of the New republics reach.

Objective: Establish contact and consolidate with the Nur remnant.
