Thule
Thule 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.

Resurgent Sith Conclave Information:
IC Sympathies tend towards:
Type of RP and/or SL's likely to be found:
- Open RP: Follows all rules of the Universe, visitors welcome
- Closed RP: Follows most rules of the Universe, but some particular rules apply. Visitors should ask about how the RP works, but are still welcome.
- Private RP: Follows most rules of the Universe, some particular rules may apply. Visitors are asked to PM the players/writers before jumping in, out of courtesy.
- Planned SL: RP scenario is set up in advance, but ending is unknown. Visitors should read the story so far and/or PM to avoid faux pas in the scenario.
- Scripted SL: The ending of the RP scenario is already planned. Visitors are asked to PM the players/writers before jumping in, out of courtesy.
Specific Scenarios: Varies
- Large battles, fleet or army
- Duels/dogfights
- IC training for the character
- OOC training in RP technique
- Non-combatant personal storylines (Romance or adventure, general character building)
- Non-combatant large storylines (planetary affairs such as business)
Suggestions and/or rule variations for this planet:
- Suggested to PM Darth Malvus if you desire to roleplay on this planet.
What to expect as a new RP arrival wanting to write here:
- New players are welcomed to join in any roleplays. However it is suggested to PM any players you wish to roleplay with beforehand.
- New players may PM any players involved on the planet to ask for a way to hop in.
- Jedi/Lightsiders WILL be treated with hostility IC.
Any major factions/chars/places of interest that have been RPed here:
- In most recent history, a long time Imperial occupation of the system has existed. The former leader of the planet, a Sith-Imperial named John Tien, served as Moff, both dependent and independent, of various Imperial factions, the most recent being the First Order. His abandonment of the planet led to an interregnum of the government. 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.
