Important Church Structures

The following are the current Church of the Dark Side structures throughout the galaxy:

The Church of the Dark Side: Capital Chapter

Magnifying the beauty and wonder of the capital world of Kuat, The Church of the Dark Side: Capital Chapter is the main location of leadership and power within the Church. A small wing of the Church is open to the public to roam through at their whim. One such public room is known as The Room of Seeking where any Sith, no matter rank, may come and speak with a Prophet and ask for counsel in any matter. Also, being only a short distance from the large population of the capital, The Capital Chapter allows the Church to be more active in the everyday life of the majority of the Sith. The Supreme Prophet and High Prophet tend to work out of this Chapter. This chapter is also where the royal staff communicate with the Prophet's, and where secret prophecies concerning the royals are kept.

Anomid

Named for the species native to Yablari, this small city on the beautiful planet of Naboo is a place of wonder and glory to those in the Church. Though anyone is allowed to live or roam this city - it is termed as a "Prophet's City" because creation by, at the time, Supreme Prophet Divious and over eighty-five percent of buildings within the city are Church-oriented. It is heavily guarded and much archiving goes on here. Prophets and potential Prophets make journeys here to explore the true wonders of the Church. The largest portion of the Church Treasury is located here.

The Church of the Dark Side: Kashyyyk Chapter

Rarely used, the Kashyyk Chapter is kept with a minimal staff throughout the year because of the lack of interest with the majority of species on the planet. This chapter is used though when a more exotic species wants to learn more of the dealings of the Church - hoping to excite them more than other Chapters. Animals, such as the local Tachs, are studied here for alchemical purposes. The environment and secrecy enables many experiments to proceed... un-noticed.

The Church of the Dark Side: Naboo Chapter

Sitting the hills of the peaceful planet of Naboo, The Church of the Dark Side: Naboo Chapter is styled in the more ancient, yet very beautiful architecture of the natives of the planet. The Archives of Chronicles is largest, most prominent room in the facility - taking up over half of the structure. The Archives of Chronicles is the largest library of written records in the entire Rim and holds much of the ancient documents of the Sith and galaxy as a whole. The Librarian holds their office here, working tirelessly through the immense archives. The Historians also spend much time here, chronicaling the histories dating back thousands of years, some scrolls still undiscovered by the Librarians.

The Church of the Dark Side: Tatooine Chapter

The harsh conditions of Tatooine make the perfect location for the Prophets of the Dark Side to hone in on their fighting and survival skills. Though still an enclave of The Church of the Dark Side, the Tatooine Chapter is used primarily as a training ground for Prophets to gain wisdom in the art of their blades. The most active room is the Hall of Strife where most of the combat takes place, though the area around the structure makes good battlefields for larger practice duels. The Dark Warrior holds his finest quarters here, and he uses it to instruct other members on their blades. As well as this, all manners of exotic weapons are constructed and tested here.

The Church of the Dark Side: Corellia Chapter

Built on the order of Supreme Prophet Praxeum, the Church of the Dark Side: Corellia Chapter is the location of the Church’s guest houses. Occasionally when diplomats visit the Empire, they wish to view the Church. It is this Chapter that they are brought to. As it is the home planet of the Supreme Prophet, he has an office there, as does the High Prophet. This Chapter also has a throne room for the Emperor/Empress of the day. It is off-limits to non-Prophets, and is the most heavily guarded and well maintained chapter. Severe punishments meet those who do not perform to the high standards of the Supreme Prophet, and Chapter Master.

The Church of the Dark Side: Coruscant Chapter

Located in the middle of the planet-city, the Coruscant Chapter of the Church of the Dark Side is where the Church’s Prophet-Training facility is situated. Although not used for blades-practice, it is used for new Prophets to develop their force skills and vision interpretation. Because of Coruscant’s strategic importance to the Empire, it is also where one of the Supreme Prophet's many offices are located. A museum is also located here to educate the people about the Church, although the other areas are strictly off-limits.

The Church of the Dark Side Wayland Temple

Hidden in the distant, isolated planet of Wayland, the Wayland Temple is for the chief location for peace and meditation for Prophets. Being far away from the chaos and confusion of most of the galaxy, the Wayland Temple is the perfect place for a Prophet to come and center themselves for days or months at a time. Prophets tend to attempt to make a trip here at least once a year to keep themselves in tuned with the Force and with their personal relationship with it. Due to the planet being a central breeding ground for Ysalimiri, experiments concerning them take place here, meaning that Prophets nearby have to be trained to lose their connection to the Force for periods of time. Ysalimiri grenades are produced in a factory nearby. All Interns travel here to broaden their connection to the Force as the first stage of their training.

The Church of the Dark Side: Kroprulu Chapter

Located in the former capital of the Sith Empire, the Kroprulu Chapter is mainly used as a Prophet’s domain. It is also used, however, as the location for the Church’s annual conference. As a testament to its use to the Empire, this Chapter is the location for the burial ceremony of all Prophets. This Chapter also has the privilege of being the first Chapter built aside from the Space Station. An office of the High Prophet is located here. In case of war, as many Church assets as possible will be transported to the maximum-security Great Vault, located many floors below the surface.

Space Station Scardia

This is the home away from home for the Prophets. For a long time this was the Church HQ, however, that has been changed to Kuat. Located somewhere in Null Space, only Prophets may visit this secret station. The station’s interior is designed to reflect that of a Church and, like the Capital Chapter, has the offices of the High and Supreme Prophet. The Station itself it still visited frequently by either the Supreme or High Prophet. It is protected against explorers and pirates by an elite team of veteran warriors, hand picked and trained by the Dark Warrior. It is surrounded by thirteen asteroids, manually moved there as hyperspace defense. The only safe route is known only by Prophets.

The Church of the Dark Side: Onderon Chapter

Located on the magnificent planet of Onderon, this chapter’s primary use is as a museum where ancient Sith relics are kept. It is open to the public everyday and there is always a Prophet, usually the Chapter Master, on call to answer any question which the public may ask. The building itself is styled in an ancient manner so as to reflect the relics that are inside. Of course, it is also used as a Church; further back within the building are prophet’s chambers. A great museum showcasing hundreds of ancient and more modern Sith artifacts is here, which is open to the public, albeit at their own risk.

The Church of the Dark Side: Mandalore Chapter

This Church Chapter, located on the planet of Mandalore, is used as a detention center for the prophets who have been suspended from their duties as they await trial. Although they are suspended from their duties, they are still free to move around and have visions. Also in this Chapter, is the location of the Hall of History. The Hall of History is the grand corridor in which stand statues of Supreme Prophets past and present, their stone faces a deep forboding presence to those made to suffer the detention. The Chapter Master here is often an ex-soldier.

The Church of the Dark Side: Bothawui Chapter

As is every nearly resource on the planet, the Bothawui Chapter is full of information and secrets. Formally, the Bothawui Chapter is widely known for its Office of Source Code Acquisition and Development, the chief source of technology for the Church's numerous experiments. But, more informally, this chapter is the eyes and ears of the Church, reporting hundreds of secrets to the Prophets daily. A solid gold statue of Emperor Shadow sits in the centre, sitting at eight metres tall, it is a brilliant display of Imperial superiority, as well as Shadow's career in the Church.

Asteroid Theta

For security reasons, the Dark Warrior ordered 13 large asteroids to be put in place around Space Station Scardia. They are named from alpha to pi and each holds a different feature. The most important of these is on asteroid Theta, which holds a superlaser platform. This immense weapon can incinerate a fully shielded Imperial-II class Destroyer in one shot, and has a more deadly use - if the correct codes are inputted by the Supreme Prophet, the laser will turn on the station itself, to protect the Station's assets to the end.

Fondorian Development and Testing center

Located on the planet Fondor, this enormous complex is forbidden to any citizen. Inside it, there are hundreds of buildings where the members of the Church perform the Dark Arts. New products are examined and experimented on, and test subjects are brought in for evaluation. It is surrounded by heavy defences to keep out intruders... and to keep the scientists in.

The Church of the Dark Side: Endor Chapter

Located on the ancient moon of Endor, this chapter is home to a powerful well of Force energy, channelled by a team of Prophets that have to be rotated every two months due to the overwhelming Dark Side energy there. One powerful enough can utilise this power to perform all kinds of Dark Magic and Alchemical experiments. To prevent native species from wondering too near the Force well and becoming corrupted, a team of elite soldiers patrol the outskirts regularly. Much animal experiments and battle simulations take place here due to the environment.

The Church of the Dark Side: Cerea Chapter

Built as an extention to the extravagant Moff's palace, the Cerean chapter houses an array of deadly weapons collected by the Dark Warrior. As well as this, it holds a huge underground chamber where Prophets are brought to to test their battle skills in one-on-one sessions with other Prophets, overseen by the Dark Warrior. Although fairly small, the chapter's exterior is built almost entirely out of gold. The river surrounding it and the palace behind reflects the gold lit up at night in a wonderous expression of Church wealth and Imperial glory.
