Current Location: ConaFormerly known as the Mithlond Shipyards when it was located over Ambria, the orbital construct has been renamed and serves a new function. The Mithlond Academy is the new mobile headquarters of the Dark Jedi Order under Fallen Empress Zaya Pyrestriker. The central superstructure has seen some changes with much of the old production and ore processing facilities being converted over to living facilities, training rooms, and barracks space. The administration facilities tower has seen some minor modifications with a throne room and quarters for the Empress being installed.
The Six Arms that extend out from the central structure still serve as dry dock locations for up to 6 Capital Ships, with their abilities being limited to making repairs. Hangar Space along the Arms mean a great number of starfighter and smaller vessels up to around freighter size can land internally. When not occupied by Capital Ships, the Arms also have multiple docking port access points.
Thanks to its mobile nature, the Mithlond Academy can travel to different worlds and operate without a fixed location becoming a target of attack.

Months of work had gone into building and completing the Mithlond Shipyards. While not as impressive as Kuat or Rendili, Mithlond was more than equipped to handle the needs of the growing Dark Jedi Order. In fact, it was the Dark Jedi's growing power and access to resources that had enabled the Shipyards construction, with crews and materials being shipped in from across their territories and allied worlds.
For Ifrit, it was one of the Order's crowning jewels. Which in turn would be used to produce another. Which was why the moment construction was compeleted on the shipyards, workers were almost immediately tasked with designing and building a new vessel for the Dark Jedi Order. A vessel to dwarf all previous designs

Construction continued to progress at the Mithlond Shipyards. Slowly but surely the superstructure frame started to take shape unlike any design seen previously. Some were reminded of the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer of the Galactic Empire. Others thought it invoked the Sovereign-class Super Star Destroyer. Neither was entirely accurate of correct. The Dark Horizon certainly shared some design similarities, but it was a ship of its own class. It was an impressively large vessel with enough guns to sink just about any vessel that stood against it, while gravity wells prevented escape. It would have enough space for 4 full fighter wings, and 2 full legions of soldiers

Work continued ever on, with more and more the Dark Horizon taking shape. The massive reactor was set in place and the frame was being pieced together with each passing day and hour. Workers were put on rotating shifts, making sure that no matter the time of day or night, work was being completed. The factories of the Mithlond Shipyards were well and truly put to the test, as they pumped out part after part. The forges never going silent. Parts were constantly inspected and checked for quality, ensuring that every piece that was put into the Dark Horizon was the best it could be

After months of work, The Dark Horizon was finally completed in construction, alongside the Velox-Class Battlecruiser, a pair of Evorsio-Class Frigates, and a pair of Serratus-class Assault Cruisers which were all to join the Phaedra-Class Star Fortress that was The Fallen's fleet. Crews, Starfighters, and the various Crusader Army forces that were at The Fallen's personal command were loaded into the fleet before the ships moved clear of the Mithlond Shipyards to take up a defensive position in orbit of Ambria. The ships previously belonging to Ifrit's fleet were decommissioned and stripped for parts to be reused in other projects for the Dark Jedi Order

Bypassing the Mithlong Shipyards, the Phaedra-class Star Fortress Scorpion screened the overall activity within the sector. Followed by four Serratus-Class Assault carriers and two larger Eruditus-class Carriers the flagship of Crusader Admiral Maecilia Gaiana ensured that overall vigilance over the orbital station complex and the dreadnaught that was guarding it. With the two Golan III Space Defense NovaGuns in closer orbit keeping a watchful eye over the world as well, all was following the protocol, for the spartanic soldiers of the Dark Jedi Order knew the punishments their officers and superiors would bring onto them, should they neglect their duty.
Maecilia was no difference for when it came to these ambitions, as she was faithfully serving the Empress, leading her fleet with efficiency.
Even if things were peaceful right now, she knew that the time would come, when the armada would be required.
Not today. But maybe tomorrow.

Remaining in orbit, the Scorpion was once more patrolling the sector and neighbouring systems for any foreign activity. Making a stop at the Mithlond Shipyards with it's escorts, the Phaedra-Class Star Fortress would remain there for a while in order to reassemble supplies for the crew, while the Crusader Admiral would finish up her report for the Order's current leadership.
So far things were calm, yet Maecilia knew that it wouldn't take long until her fleet would be required for more aggressive operations.

Through some chance of fate or by the will of the Force, the Dark Jedi Order had been found out upon Ambria. Years of build up, regime change, and a new resurgence in the Order had been brought to its knees when the forces of the Jedi Lords under the command of Aurora Valhalla had shown up. The battle that had ensued had seen the Tiernvael Temple sieged and the forces of the Dark Jedi pushed into retreat. In the final moments of their retreat, Zaya had come face to face with Countess Valhalla. The pair had crossed blades, with the Fallen Empress managing to strike a fatal wound on the Countess before making her escape to the Mithlond Shipyards.
Despite the loss of their commander, the Jedi Lords were too powerful to try maintain Ambria. After a jump through hyperspace with the survivors of the Order, the station had been brought into the upper atmosphere of Cona. Workers were busy toiling away retrofitting the former shipyards for their new role as the Mithlond Academy. Old equipment was being offloaded and sold locally to help fund their refit work.
Zaya leaned against the railing of a balcony, overseeing the ongoing works whilst the remnants of the Orders fleet sat in orbit overhead. This was not the path she had expected to follow, but fate had decreed it all the same and now she would adapt to it. Perhaps what had happened was a sign of their failings, she had tried to grow their Order too fast too soon and they lacked the resources and power to properly maintain it all. A divergence in the road, but if they could not come back from this set back, then were they truly worthy of the mantle of Dark Jedi?

The repair and refit works had progressed over the past several weeks with the shipyards being converted to a mobile training academy. Several of the production facilities had remained, but their purpose was now upon repairing and maintaining the fleet of the Dark Jedi. Though, should the situation call for it, ships could still be built, just over a slightly longer time frame compared to what they once had capacity for.
But today was not the day to worry about such matters. The Mithlond Academy was finished its renovation and Zaya was once again seated upon her throne. The new Throne Room sported several large viewports with impressive views of the Academy and everything that surrounded it. A pair of staircases lead up to a landing that was in front of the Throne. Several pillars then provided the structural integrity to maintain the floors above. A pair of staircases then flanked the rear of the Throne, leading up to Zaya's personal quarters and a number of private areas.
