Dromund Kaas
Dromund 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.

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, the First Order came to the planet, occupying the surface temporarily and sacking it. It would later use this system as one of its major launching points for the campaign against the ailing Galactic Alliance. After the war ended, however, the Imperials left.
- For a time, the planet was left to its own designs. The Nightsisters and Witches of Dathomir lived on and went back to their daily lives.
- Prior to the rise of the Conclave, the former apprentice of Darth Malvus, the Dark Lady, Luxeria, came to the planet to gain its allegiance in exchange for promises to be fulfilled. It was later revealed that the planet was meant to be an outpost for the Resurgent Sith Conclave.
- As of right now, the night clans are divided and left to their own leaderships, but the Heirarch desires to see his new allies united if possible. The Conclave has begun to negotiate with the clans and supply them with the promises made prior.
