The Whill Council has decided to do a restructuring and revamp of the Journal of the Whills to bring more attention to this useful aspect of the site. We hope that once we have everything finished this will once again be a tool for fantastic Star Wars stories and roleplay. But first, we are asking everyone who has an open thread in the Active Storylines sub-board JotW to please let us know if it needs to be placed in the Archived Storylines or Completed Storylines sub-board. We have created a new thread in the JotW to let us know where they should be moved, if at all. If the original creator of the JotW is no longer active, but you wrote in it, you may also request it be placed in the proper sub-board. Just make note of your role as a participant in the appropriate request thread. JotW Categorization Requests: Here, please provide a link to your JotW thread with the title, and specify whether the JotW is to be placed in the Personal Databanks, Archived Storylines or Completed Storylines sub-board. If your JotW thread is still ongoing, please fill out the form as normal and choose the Active Storyline option in the categorization thread. It will be left in the Active Storylines sub-board. After 90 days of this announcement, any JotW threads that are not active (determined by the Whills) and have not been designated where they should be placed shall be moved and locked in the Archived Storylines sub-board. If you believe any thread was moved in error or wish for an old JotW to be unarchived, please make a request in the JotW Categorization Requests thread. We have also created a new sub-board named Personal Databanks. Here, you can create threads that take the place of, or work in addition to, your character's personal profile. Remember to link any of these threads on your actual profile so that anyone who looks for them is aware of them. Here, you can use the space of a thread to post multiple additions to a regular profile such as (but not limited to) NPCs, Fleets, Biography, etc. If you have a JotW that should be moved to the Personal Databank sub-board, put in the request in the Archived or Completed Storylines request thread with the link and title.

The Personal Databanks are intended as an extension of the User Profiles that every member has access to. In some cases the profile boxes do not have enough space that people would want, or they do not allow for certain codes to be used. In other cases, you may not want a wall of text and pictures that make it seem intimidating as your User Profile. This is the solution. Here, members can create a thread for their character and use it to add onto their already existing profile, utilizing the increased functionality and character count that is available using the posting format as opposed to the somewhat limited User Profiles. Examples of uses for the Personal Databanks are as follows, but not limited to:
- In-depth Character Biographies, Appearance Descriptions, etc.
- Comprehensive Fleet Composition lists
- Comprehensive Ground Force and Vehicle lists
- NPC Biographies and Descriptions
- Detailed Faction Background, Territory, Fleet/Army Descriptions and Leadership
- Links to posts that serve as proof for attaining regulated materials/metals or Force Abilities
Setting up a Personal Databank thread is very similar to creating an Active Storylines thread. Simply click on the Create Thread button and you will be taken to a new page to title and write out the first post of your new Personal Databank thread. At the beginning of the first post of your thread, please add the following line to ensure there is no confusion as to who is allowed to write within the thread. For Factions, you may list the entire Faction with a link to the group's member list. [b]Type of Personal Databank:[/b] (Character or Faction) [b]Who can post in this thread:[/b] (link members and/or groups allowed to post in thread) After creating a thread for your Character or Faction, you need to link the Databank thread in your User Profile in the proper profile box. This will ensure that the information in the Personal Databanks is easily accessible to anyone who wishes to learn about your Character and/or Faction. Use the code below to ensure the link to the JotW thread will appear as whatever you wish it to be, rather than a lengthy string of letters and numbers. For Faction Leaders, please also link the Faction's Personal Databank thread in the faction's Writing Group thread as well, if it has one. To limit thread creation spamming, we ask that members create only one Databank thread per character or faction, adding onto it by either editing the original post, or by posting in the thread as is needed. If a Personal Databank thread does not belong to you, do not post in it without permission of the creator. At the request of any Personal Databank thread creator, spam posts may be removed by a Whill, and punitive action may be taken by the Whill Council. All of the Rules and Regulations of JvS apply to the Personal Databanks.

This thread is used for proper categorization and archiving of Journal of the Whills threads. Please use the form below to make sure your JotW thread is put in it's proper place (or left alone). If your JotW thread is currently in the Archived or Completed sub-board, this is where you may also request it to be moved to a different JotW sub-board.
For a more in depth description of how the new Personal Databank can be used, as well as the rules regarding Personal Databanks, click here.

ThuleThule was the innermost planet of the Thurra system, a remote star system situated upon the western flanks of the Stygian Caldera in the Esstran sector of the Outer Rim. Thule shared its star Thurra with the gas giant Enenpa, and was itself orbited by Sivvi, a captured asteroid which served as Thule's sole natural satellite. Thule rotated on its axis every thirty-eight standard hours and orbited Thurra every four hundred and fifty-nine standard days on average.
Thule was a dry and arid terrestrial world possessed of a Type I atmosphere and standard gravity. Apart from a few arable regions that hosted the bulk of the planet's cities and farms, Thule's surface was barren and covered with a thick carpet of charred gray rock and fine sand. Its landscape was primarily characterized by blackened hills, rich savannas, rocky plains, and wind-hollowed canyons punctuated at length by tall, natural spires. Despite heavy cloud cover that birthed both frequent windstorms and protracted bouts of colored lightning, Thule experienced fewer than fifty days of rain per year.
Though Thule was believed to have once been home to a variety of indigenous lifeforms during its earliest history, most of this endemic flora and fauna was ultimately rendered extinct by the subsequent colonization efforts of the planet's inhabitants and by the ferocity of its weather patterns. Only a unique species of bioluminescent moss that fed on the planet's charred rock content and lit Thule's stony outcroppings and spires with an eerie light managed to persist unmolested on the planet's surface.
It's significance to the Sith lies with the Force Nexus that ensures that the planet is steeped in the Dark Side of the Force. It has been a hidden Sith fortress world for most of its history, consistently serving as a redoubt and resource for many generations of Sith. Although once a colony of Xim's Empire, it became a possession of the Old Sith Empire in 6900 BBY. Becoming a fortified stronghold of the Sith, it would go on to serve a purpose under the banners of Exar Kun, Darth Revan, the resurgent Sith Empire of Vitiate, and the Banite Sith, including Darth Tyrannus (i.e. Count Dooku) and the Confederacy, before vanishing from the records, following the fragmentation of the Galactic Empire after the Battle of Endor and the death of Emperor Palpatine.Current Ruling Faction:Resurgent Sith Conclave Astrographical Information:Region: Outer Rim Territories Sector: Esstran Sector System: Thurra System Suns: 1: Thurra Moons: 1: Sivvi Grid Coordinates: Q-5 Rotation Period: 38 standard hours Orbital Period: 459 standard days Physical Information:Class: Terrestrial Diameter: 27,539 kilometers Climate: Arid Primary Terrain: Rocky plains, Rich savannas, Blackened hills, and Hollowed canyons Points of Interest: Thule LocationsFlora: Bio-luminescent moss Societal Information:Immigrated Species: Human, Arkanian, Ubese, Chiss, Sith (formerly) Population: 790 million Major Cities: Hurom, KessiakMajor Imports: N/A Major Exports: N/A Resurgent Sith Conclave Information:IC Sympathies tend towards:- Resurgent Sith Conclave/Allies

This was ended by the union of several military factions, leading to the formation of the Ruling Council of Seven, a junta-styled leadership. - The Ruling Council denied the suzerainty of the Resurgent Sith Conclave, resulting in a fierce invasion of the planet that would lead to its forced integration into the small territory of the Conclave.

Dromund KaasDromund Kaas was the third planet of the Dromund system, a star system located in the Sith Worlds—a region of the Outer Rim Territories's Esstran sector that was enclosed in the nebula known as the Stygian Caldera. Dromund Kaas had two moons and orbited the star Dromund, and it lay along the Kamat Krote hyperspace route between the planets Jaguada and Bosthirda.
By the time of the Great Hyperspace War with the Galactic Republic, Dromund Kaas was largely covered by jungles, and oceans. When the survivors of the old Sith Empire arrived on the planet in 4980 BBY, they were forced to tame the seemingly endless jungles and fend off the planet's violent predators in order to establish their society, and the planet remained largely jungles, oceans, and swamps other than the metropolis of Kaas City and other locations on the surface. Dromund Kaas' atmosphere was also heavily charged with electricity to the point that lightning was a near-constant sight in the almost perpetually clouded sky; a result of the Sith Emperor's experiments in arcane and forbidden uses of the dark side of the Force.
In the centuries after the Galactic War between the Empire and the Republic, the planet's jungles were largely overtaken by swamps and marshes, submerging most of the planet's solid ground. The breathable atmosphere became more stable, though it remained a wet and humid world with a varying climate. Massive, dark-wooded trees grew in the swampy water, forming canyon-like groupings of foliage that were covered in vines and infested with the lizard-like ysalamiri creatures. The planet was shrouded in a pervasive miasma of dark side energy, and locations such as the Dark Temple, and the Dark Force Temple were the sites of intensely strong Force nexuses.
A major battle of the New Sith Wars was fought on Dromund Kaas, and several decades later the rogue Sith Lord Darth Millennial established the Dark Force religion on Dromund Kaas after he rejected the Rule of Two and abandoned the Order of the Sith Lords. The Prophets of the Dark Side who followed Millennial's religion ruled Dromund Kaas for almost a thousand years before they incurred the wrath of Darth Sidious, causing the Prophets to abandon the planet for Bosthirda. Despite its relative obscurity, the planet became embroiled in the galactic conflict known as the Clone Wars, but the powerful influence of the dark side of the Force on Dromund Kaas continued to draw both Jedi and Sith to the planet over the next several decades.Current Ruling Faction:Resurgent Sith Conclave Astrographical Information:Region: Outer Rim Territories Sector: Esstran Sector (Sith Worlds) System: Dromund System Suns: 1: Dromund Moons: 2 Grid Coordinates: R-5 Rotation Period: 24 standard hours Orbital Period: 312 standard days Physical Information:Class: Terrestrial Diameter: 16,890 kilometers Climate: Cold and dry Primary Terrain: Mountains, Canyons, Dry Riverbeds, Swamps, Deserts, Tombs, Ruins Points of Interest: Dromund Kaas LocationsFauna: Creatures of Dromund KaasSocietal Information:Immigrated Species: Sith and Human Population: ~10,000 Major Cities: Kaas CityMajor Imports: N/A Major Exports: Sith artifacts Resurgent Sith Conclave Information:IC Sympathies tend towards:- Resurgent Sith Conclave/Allies

ZiostZiost, sometimes referred to as the "Gateway to the Empire" in the days of the Old Republic, was a world made up of ancient dark forests and barren tundra. However, the trees withered away and the planet became very similar, in landscape, to Korriban. Much of the planet was covered in ice. Not only was it a focal point of the dark side, but it was also the adopted homeworld and Imperial capital of the Sith species, who left their original homeworld, Korriban, as a graveyard world after the death of their leader Adas.
Eventually it became a major Sith buffer world during the days of Vitiate's Sith Empire before being forgotten entirely.Current Ruling Faction:Resurgent Sith Conclave Astrographical Information:Region: Outer Rim Territories Sector: Esstran Sector (Sith Worlds) System: Ziost System Suns: 1 Moons: 2 Grid Coordinates: R-4 Rotation Period: N/A Orbital Period: N/A Physical Information:Class: Terrestrial Diameter: N/A Climate: Arid Primary Terrain: Frozen Mountains Points of Interest: Ziost LocationsFauna: Vine CatSocietal Information:Immigrated Species: Sith and Human Population: over 1,000 Major Cities: New AdastaMajor Imports: N/A Major Exports: Sith artifacts Resurgent Sith Conclave Information:IC Sympathies tend towards:- Resurgent Sith Conclave/Allies

ShiliShili was the homeworld of the Togrutas located in the Ehosiq sector. The legendary Jedi Master Shaak Ti was a native of Shili, as were Raana Tey, Ashla and Ahsoka Tano. The planet was a long-time member of the Galactic Republic and Togrutas had been in the Jedi Order since its earliest years.
It was the homeworld of many beasts, such as the Akul, which tribes of Togrutas had to work together to defeat in order to survive. The planet was covered with turu-grass scrublands and valley canopy forests. The most prominent city on Shili was Corvala, which was the capital. Shili was located in the Expansion Region near the Hydian Way.Current Ruling Faction:First Order Astrographical Information:Region: Expansion Region Sector: Ehosiq Sector System: Shili System Suns: 1 Moons: 6 Grid Coordinates: L-8 Orbital Period: 322 Days (local) Rotation Period: 20 hours Physical Information:Class: N/A Diameter: N/A Climate: Temperate Primary Terrain: Cities, Savannahs, Seas, Plains, Rainforest valleys, and Mountains Points of Interest: N/A Fauna: AkulSocietal Information:Native Species: Togruta Immigrated Species: Human and Twi'lek Population: N/A Major Cities: CorvalaMajor Imports: N/A Major Exports: N/A First Order Information:IC Sympathies tend towards:- First Order Members/Allies

All done. I corrected one or two typos in the description, and had to substitute the word 'and' in the title because the thread title can only be so long, but just separated it with a comma, so it worked out. I hope it's to your liking.

The Academy of Carida was a private, and later state-supported, comprehensive military institution. It formed a triumvirate of elite military institutions along with the academies of Anaxes and Corulag. The institution was known by a variety of names such as Caridan Military Academy, Carida Academy, and Academy at Carida. It was located on the Spinara Plateau. It was considered a fairly prestigious Imperial military academy, and the planet's high gravity was used to train tougher, more resilient stormtroopers. Under the First Order, this history continued with the main stormtrooper training facility. The school was driven to produce the best troopers possible, encouraging a stronger and smarter soldier. Advances in weapons were studied here to improve the effectiveness of the First Order Military Machine Centered at Spinara Plateau and surrounded by dagger-like mountains, the Academy was composed of several impressive buildings that acted as living and dining space, training areas, as well as administrative and Caridan government offices. At the center of the campus was a large citadel with architecture designed to echo the ancient buildings of Coruscant and Raithal, despite its relative youth. Enormous turrets and minarets dotted the upper walls of the citadel; the southernmost turret housed the Academy's private HoloNet transceiver. The First Order Citadel was connected to the Storm Trooper Academy on the Spinara Plateau overlooking the capital city. The Moff wanted to be present and have the Academy leadership know who was truly in charge. The structure was reminiscent of an old traditional Caridan fortress. White stone covered the outside. Inside was everything a planetary leader could want. The Moff insured that it had the best communication array, top of the line data storage, and retrieval systems. The Moff's office was large but simply decorated. It was efficient and that led to its beauty. A black stone desk set underneath the one artistic feature of the room, a large stained glass window with images showing Carida's history, the good and the bad. The other window looked into the Academy next door.

To prevent potential inactive threads and forum bloat, would a compromise of consolidating the two locations into a singular thread be acceptable?

Took the liberty of creating a general mountain's thread as well. Permissions for the Dark Jedi Order has been moved from the Mountain's thread to the Temple sub forum itself.

THOOM
Above what remained of the scattered ruins of the once great Infinite Empire, the crumbling structures inhabited by the beasts and plants that reclaimed it for nature, the second moon gleaming in the afternoon sky. The appearance of the moon was not unusual for the planet, and the sentient inhabitants did not notice, at first, the closeness of the celestial body. More so than it was usually.An asteroid had appeared in between Lehon and its closer moon, from seemingly nowhere. How this had gone unnoticed was not known, and for some reason it had not shown on any sensors. As an hour passed, the asteroid and moon became out of sync with one another, providing the citizens of Lehon with an elongated connected shape to view. It was not until the asteroid began to descend that the true chaos would start.Waves the height of some Coruscant skyscrapers were created by the gravitational forces exerted by the appearance of this space rock, sending many of the individual islands and archipelagos underwater. Any sensors directed at the rock would overload, even partially melting. Any ships flying in the skies would be flung about, many crashing into the water below, some even being torn apart by the gravitational waves and exploding mid-air.As the descent continued, the seas began to boil as the air the asteroid displaced became super-heated from the friction of its rapid descent. Sea creatures, some not even officially cataloged as being native to the planet because of their depth, rose to the surface, dead. As the seas boiled away leaving nothing but vast stretches of what were once underwater trenches, ruins and dead sea-life, the skies went black as the evaporated seas became thunderous storm clouds, the strength of which had not been seen on this planet in its existence.The asteroid stopped suddenly, its descent halted by some unseen force. As the storms poured over the terrain of the planet and the asteroid hung in the air, a man would step out from behind what was once a tree on an island. His long white hair and beard flew around in the horribly winds, covering his face. The man gave an exasperated sigh and wiped his now soaking wet hair from his impairing his vision."Well, this isn't right."Rolling up his sleeves, the man reached into the sky, his hand covering the asteroid from his perspective. As he slowly closed his hand, the asteroid would begin to slowly shrink and fold in upon itself. The asteroid would restart its descent, landing on the island the man was on.What was once a large planet destroying asteroid was now a small crate as black as the void of space. Walking over to the box and scratching his now dry head, the man grumbled and muttered at the mess he made."Next time I'm just sending a post card."With that he turned around and vanished behind the tree he had appeared from. As soon as he was gone, the planet of Lehon returned to how it was directly prior to the asteroid's arrival. All the damage, death, and destruction caused by the giant rock disappearing as if it never happened. All evidence other than word of mouth would disappear, not even a trace of anything being deleted existing. A signal went out from the crate to the recipient it was meant for to their personal communication devices. The scanner on the crate would ensure no one but the person it was sent for would be able to open it. To: Aya D'Ordinii From: @#$^% !b*-Q&
Enjoy. Within the crate was a box of less than one cubic foot in measurements of similar material as the crate itself, within were located a lifetime supply of chocolate covered caf beans, of a breed that was highly potent and mostly used for espresso, the strength being able to give the jitters to even beings of a non-organic nature. In fact, many organics may find the strength of the treats to be overkill. The beans would not impact the taste, simply being there for a caffeine source. Though the box containing the treat was slightly on the small side, it would never run out. It was as if it was connected to an endless supply of the delicious energy providing snack.

POP From seemingly out of nowhere an asteroid appeared above sandy wastes with a cartoonish noise echoing over the desert. Massive waves of displaced air created by the sudden arrival of this heavenly body in atmosphere above the planet rushing out, reaching megahurricane levels. Any sensor equipment monitoring the area would blare and go off. Droid's with enough processing power to compute what was happening would short circuit from the complete lack of logic to what was happening. Any sentient life in the vicinity would know this was the end times, and began praying to or cursing any deities they could think of.A lone Hssiss warming itself in the sunlight on a rock licked its eyeball, not shaken in the least at this occurrence.The asteroid rapidly descended towards the surface of the planet, displacing even more air, now super-heated from the friction of the giant space rock's descent. As it made its way to the ground, the asteroid would rapidly shrink, but not because it was breaking up. The once massive space was condensing itself, as if it was being shaped by some outside force. After what had been a short orbit in the skies above Ambria, the now meteorite crashed into an outcropping.While initially as an asteroid it had been misshapen, the asteroid was now a crate, being approximately five feet tall and two feet wide. In fact it look appeared more like a crate brought by a delivery droid by some companies rather than asteroid debris. Though it still maintained its obsidian-black space rock surface, it was perfectly smooth, and even had a lip where a seal separating a newly formed lid met the rest of the box. A small scanner that would scan anyone attempting to open it other than the person it was made for. A signal was sent out to the communication devices of the the person, with coordinates included. To: Mariah Shadows From: @#$^% !b*-Q&
Enjoy. Inside the crate was an assortment of caf related items such as a grinder, empty small burlap sacks and an collection of creamers, sweeteners, and additives. However, the most eye catching of which was a smaller version of a caf plant in a pot. The appearance of the caf plant were similar to the plant of legends whispered in caf shops across the Galaxy, one that had been specially bred by a certain caffeine obsessed madman in the Deep Core. The soil inside would ensure the plant wanted for nothing, including water, and would always produce a steady supply of caf beans, instantly ready to be ground up and made into life giving liquid. Any other plant placed in the soil would instantly shrivel and perish.Any hard evidence other than word of mouth of what had just occurred was mysteriously wiped. Any and all damage was suddenly repaired. Sensor data was wiped.The Hssiss, still on its rock, tilted its head to the side to gaze upon the crate as black as the void of space. The Hssiss licked its other eyeball.

TarisTaris was an urban planet in the fifth orbit of its star, located in the Taris system, within the Ojoster sector, of the Outer Rim Territories, in turn Taris was orbited by four moons, including Rogue. The term Tarisian was used to describe people and products from the planet, which took a millennium to build, after being settled by Humans colonist from unknown origins. Eventually Alien species settled or visited the city and before long the Republic took notice of the world and the planet's ecumenopolis quickly developed over a century of prosperity, and as a result the planet suffered from massive overpopulation. Once a galactic nexus that earned great wealth from its strategic position on hyperspace routes, Taris' importance declined with the discovery of improved trade routes, and the planet rapidly fell into decay. The remainder of the planet's history was wrought with civil disorder and social unrest. As it turned to industry as a means of compensation for its economic troubles, its oceans became polluted, eliminating the planet's main food source. After a century of the planet's ecosystem dying off, famine spread among the lower classes while the rich hoarded what few supplies remained. The resulting strife led to the Tarisian Civil War, the start of lasting prejudices between the Humanocentric Tarisian nobles and the largely alien underclass. The city became segmented, the lower classes were banned from living in the upper levels of Taris and the planet became the poster child of a economically dying world.
During the Mandalorian Wars, Taris served as a crucial rallying point for dissident Jedi who had decided to fight against the invading Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. As the lower classes were crushed beneath the rich, crime became rampant, and the Tarisian government did little in response. This caused Lhosan Industries, a mining company which employed half of the planet's lower class in its operation, to leave Taris. The millions left unemployed rioted against the government, kidnapping the planet's senator in the Galactic Senate as well as the local constable. This caused the local Jedi to leave Taris as well, leaving the planet in a state of chaos, as the war raged on around it.
By the time of the Jedi Civil War, order had been restored, but swoop gangs and crime still held sway over the Lower City. During the war, Taris was conquered by Darth Revan's Sith Empire, which quarantined the planet in an attempt to capture Jedi Bastila Shan. As the search continued fruitlessly, the Sith leader Darth Malak, ordered the bombardment of Taris, killing countless civilians. This act had huge political repercussions for the Sith and changed the tone of the rest of the war, showing Malak and the Sith's true colors, the desire to achieve victory at any cost.
Over the next few millennia the planet managed to rebuild and recover from its devastation, though never reaching the extent of its former glory. Similar to other ecumenopolies like Coruscant and Nar Shaddaa, the upper levels were safe and secure, inhabited by the wealthy, while the lower levels were frequently plagued by gang warfare and inhabited by thugs and the poor.
During the Great Galactic War, Taris had become the subject to both Jedi and Sith plans; while the Jedi wanted to rebuild the planet to prove to the people of the Republic that they were strong enough to recover from such a disaster, and with it raise morale, the Sith sought to foil their plans, to prove that the Republic couldn't recover from such a thing. Ultimately the Sith were victories, despite the Republic and Jedi's best efforts to defend the world.
By the time of the Galactic Civil War, much of the city had been rebuilt but never to the extent of it prior to the Jedi Civil War. However by that time, many of the planet's problems, that had plagued the city prior to the bombardment, including species and class oppression, had disappeared with Taris's destruction millennia prior. This was a bittersweet resolution for the planet that once rivaled Coruscant.Current Ruling Faction:First Order Astrographical Information:Region: Outer Rim (Eastern) Sector: Ojoster Sector System: Taris System Suns: 1 Moons: 4 Grid Coordinates: N-7 Orbital Period: 314 standard days Rotation Period: 24 hours Physical Information:Class: Terrestrial Diameter: 12,200 kilometers Climate: Temperate Primary Terrain: Urban sprawl and Oceans Points of Interest: Taris LocationsFauna: Creatures of TarisSocietal Information:Native Species: Nekghoul Immigrated Species: Aqualish, Bith, Cathar, Drovian, Duros, Gamorrean, Hamadryas, Human, Hutt, Ithorian, Nikto, Paaerduag, Quarren, Rodian, Snivvian, Trandoshan, Twi'lek, and Wookiee Population: 1 billion Major Cities: Tarisian Ecumenopolis - Upper City, Middle City, Lower City, Undercity, and Promised LandMajor Imports: Foodstuffs and Raw materials Major Exports: Luxury items, Tarisian ale, and Technology First Order Information:IC Sympathies tend towards:- First Order Members/Allies
