Lake Farnell, Balmorra

#swtor #balmorra #swtor screens #o-oh....i've never seen balmorra's lake before and never knew you could ride on it. it was quite breathtaking #and this happened by accident because i fell off the imperial speeder platform #but wow???? #i used to think balmorra was quite ugly. but this is probably one of the most beautiful spots ive ever seen in this game #quietly stunned #i like to think. eight just cut the engines and stared at it for awhile #he's definitely coming back to fish here

So I noticed one of the ingredients in Feast of Prosperity kitchen was a Balmorran Vinegar.

I could imagine Balmorran stocking up vinegars before they leave the planet to live offworld as they cannot live without them. kinda like olive oil or sauces.

Legend of Lightning 94. The Hit

The delay cost him. One of the attacks got through his defenses, slicing into his left shoulder. The pain blinded him for a moment, and he thought he understood, finally, what nausea meant. The plasma hurt much worse than he thought. He felt his vision failing. So, he shifted to his Force Senses instead. Opening his Third Eye, he could see his battle with clarity again.

What was more, his self-fortification was finally at a level where he could fight back. With a burst of power, he batted aside his enemy’s blade and began an assault of his own. He dove as deep as he could into the Song of his crystal, and channeled its song into the fiercest Juyo he could manage at the moment. He could Sense his opponents’ rage and triumph switch to surprise and caution.

“Malgus! Help me!”

Malgus is here? Vajra put that aside before he could process it. He began slicing away at all the layers of his enemies’ defenses at once. Four of them fell, one Pureblood, a Twi’lek, and two humans. The fifth one was on the back foot, trying desperately to block his blade.

“What are you?!” his enemy demanded.

“The Jedi you couldn’t kill alone, even when he was half-dead. But I’m ready for you now.” The ferocity of his moves began to drive the dust back, finally letting him see his attacker. He almost gasped. “Darth Marr!?”

Jedi: Your victory means nothing. The damage has been done. The proof has been transmitted. So deal the death blow sith; I am at peace knowing that the greater good has been served. 

Malavai Quinn: I’d hate to burst your bubble jedi...no that’s a lie, I’m reveling in it. I intercepted your transmission. The Jedi know nothing. 

Sith Warrior: Quinn, I could kiss you!

world-building the sith empire

For me, the most interesting aspect of Vitiate’s Reconstituted Sith Empire – the thing which guides most of my world-building for it – is its thousand-year expansionary period and how that relates to its internal diversity. Vitiate founds his new Empire on Dromund Kaas after jerking his fleet of refugees around for a couple of decades – a single planet with a small initial population. From there the Empires steadily grows through both conquest and diplomacy, retaking old Sith systems as well as discovering new ones, until the Great Galactic War when it expands massively, more than tripling in size over just twenty-eight years.

So you take a planet, a moon, a system, and you ask: How long has it been part of the Sith Empire? Was it one of the old Sith worlds lost to the Republic in the Great Hyperspace War, part of the Republic, an independent world, another colony founded by refugees fleeing the destruction of the Old Empire? Was it brought in by diplomacy or conquest? How big were the divisions about whether to submit or to fight?

Timing: the primary indicator of how assimilated a world is and how deeply embedded the Empire’s institutions have become there. There are notable difference in worlds brought into the Empire before and after the start of the Great Galactic War. The worlds after were virtually all former members of the Galactic Republic, independent planets in contact with the Republic, and a couple of the old Sith Worlds – most notably Korriban – the Empire had been unable to reclaim earlier without alerting the Republic and the Jedi to their existence. Worlds brought in before were more likely to be red sith or joint colonies, independent with no prior contact with the Republic, or worlds that had been part of the Old Empire which the Republic had lost track of after desolating because safe hyperspace routes in the Stygian Caldera require constant updating.

Funnily enough I think the Chiss Ascendency is the closet thing we have to an example of the diplomatic integration of a Sith world into the Empire. Not the “submit to our might!” opening, but the “we are simply thrilled at the prospect of becoming part of your magnificent empire :) *retains enormous amount of internal autonomy*” though I think the Ascendency is an outlier in becoming an allied state rather than autonomous region. This is presumably also the case for the Belkadan, Ruuria and Sernipal sectors which flipped right at the start of the Empire’s invasion having negotiated with them in secret. The Sith Empire took a honey/battery acid approach during the Great Galactic War; join us and your people will become Imperial citizens, fight us and we will bomb your cities and enslave you. Interestingly, the offer of citizenship must have extended to ‘aliens’ because the Ruurians are insectoid, even though only as second-class citizens unable to serve in the Imperial Military (except ImpInt). The Imperial Military isn’t big enough to occupy every planet and fight the Republic – they need people to join and remain in the Empire voluntarily.

To use a canonical example, Balmorra – a proudly independent planet with strong ties to the Republic – officially became an Imperial world around the end of the Great Galactic War. It was brought in by conquest with some diplomacy side-sauce, with the Republic acknowledging the Empire’s rule over Balmorra in the Treaty of Coruscant and a bunch of Balmorran elites putting together an official surrender in the hope of keeping their property (ie prosperous arms companies) and positions. Because of the diplomacy side-sauce the Empire decided to treat Balmorra as if it really had been brought in by diplomacy, granting nearly the entire population Imperial citizenship and leaving the quisling corporate leadership in place. Balmorra’s existing military industrial infrastructure and skilled workforce are resources which the Empire desires to integrate. The vast majority of Balmorrans are furious about being forced into the Empire but there are deep divisions around whether to keep fighting. Many are terrified that if the Resistance causes too much trouble the Empire might start enslaving rebelling districts or people it categorises as ‘aliens’.

There are a lot of other jumping off points of course – martial culture, Vitiate’s aesthetic social engineering, survivors and perpetrators of genocide, slavery, ghosts, who thought it was a good idea to give the space wizards unquestioned authority? – but this one is my favourite.
