The Dread Fortress

Centuries ago, a group of Sith lords were sent to Oricon to study the arcane and powerful Phobis devices. When these Sith reemerged from their work as the Dread Masters, they did so with the intent of making Oricon their home. With the Emperor's blessing, they transported thousands upon thousands of slaves to the moon to build a massive fortress.

Surrounded by deep pools of fiery lava, the fortress protects against all would-be invaders. Its impenetrable gates, powerful droids, and vicious, corrupted monstrosities guard a towering palace that contains the Dread Masters' private chambers, where the Masters practice their dark arts. Once construction was completed, the Dread Masters used the fortress compound to expend their slaves in experiments designed to test the limits of the Phobis devices, and to explore the outermost boundaries of fear.

Kuat Drive Yards

As Core Founders of the Galactic Republic, the people of Kuat aspired to provide a vital service to their newly formed government. To this end, they set out to build one of the galaxy's largest starship manufacturing companies. Kuat Drive Yards provides Republic-aligned planets with short-range shuttles, orbital stations and interplanetary transports. More crucially, they supply the Republic Navy with many of the components of its fleets, from the smallest single-person starfighters to capital warships.

Kuat Drive Yards quickly grew from a small series of shipyards, docks and warehouses in orbit over Kuat into an interconnected ring of manufacturing excellence. From the surface of the planet, the sight of the yards arcing across the sky brings the Kuati people a constant sense of duty and purpose by day; and of awe and comfort by night. Losing Kuat Drive Yards would not only send the planet's economy into a tailspin, but would also greatly hamper the Republic's ability to keep its member planets safe.

Admiral Zasha Ranken

Zasha Ranken was already a rising Imperial star when Grand Moff Kilran handpicked her to serve under him during the Great Galactic War. Ranken's steely resolve and unwavering loyalty made her a vital component of Kilran's campaigns. During the historic Sacking of Coruscant, it was Ranken who coolly recommended the bombing of civilian population centers that would earn her mentor the nickname of "the Butcher of Coruscant".

Now, as the celebrated admiral in command of the Imperial Forward Command, Ranken has adopted her mentor's affinity for bold initiatives, taking great pride in her capacity for cold and rational decision making. Ranken is always willing to listen to reason, even if it means allowing a contradictory voice to be heard, but she does not suffer circuitous talk or outright insubordination, opting to teach those who cannot or will not learn to be direct and respectful the error of their ways.

Ashy

Adopted by prominent Imperial socialites who named him after his faded-gray skin, Ashy was often shown off as though he were a house pet. In his formative years, however, the Rattataki did not get the joke and took his adopted parents' grooming very seriously, believing in their desire to have him one day become an Imperial officer. An early attempt to join the military academy on Dromund Kaas forced Ashy to finally see the painful truth. Humiliated, he defected to the Republic, where he has excelled as a weapons specialist.

Ashy takes great pleasure in exacting sweet revenge on the Empire one operation at a time, always making sure to send holorecordings to his disowned family that depict his every triumph as a proud soldier and citizen of the Galactic Republic.

Aven Geth

The son of prominent officers in the Imperial Army, Aven Geth was always destined for greatness--or so it seemed. Upon reaching adulthood, Aven joined the Navy, where he excelled as a shield technician--that is until his parents, feeling slighted by his choice of military branch, pulled all the right strings to have him summarily discharged.

Maintaining an upbeat and unflappable air, Aven deflected his parents' cruel machinations, patriotically offering his services to any Imperial-aligned starship crew that would have him in spite of his abrupt disgrace. So long as he continues to fight the Empire's enemies, Aven feels he will yet prove himself to be a loyal and worthy combatant.

B-3G9

The defensive strategy rendered by B-3G9 in the First Battle of Bothawui is often cited as a primary reason for the Republic's victory in that grand conflict. Sent to its factory of origin for upgrades and maintenance as thanks for its service, Threegee was somehow caught in an administrative mix-up. By the time the Czerka factory discovered its mistake, the combat analysis droid had already undergone partial circuit remapping to conform to protocol-droid conventions. As a result, Threegee has become a war strategist with a polite and self-effacing manner.

While Threegee can no longer reach its former heights of tactical faculty, the droid is still quite deft with shield-to-power conversion calculations and starship defense management--though it does tend to fixate more over its faded glory than any recent accomplishments.

Fleet Admiral Bey'wan Aygo

From birth, Bey'wan Aygo's artistic parents nurtured him with culture, hoping he would one day follow in their footsteps. But when, as a young Bothan, he first spied a space battle through a telescope over his homeworld, the only art Aygo wanted to practice was that of interstellar combat.

In Aygo's eyes, he cannot be a great leader without the trust and support of the rank and file, so he has fostered an atmosphere of encouragement and community within the Republic First Fleet. He's more apt to commend someone for their achievements than to admonish those who happen to come up short, resulting in a fleet populated with pilots and crews who strive to excel. Throughout his lengthy career, Bey'wan Aygo has repeatedly displayed the layered intellect, quick judgment and unfaltering respect of his subordinates necessary to lead the Galactic Republic to greatness.

Kendra Novar

Even as a young child, Kendra Novar had a particular affinity for complex calculations. She successfully sliced her first computer system at age seven, and by the time she reached adulthood she had amassed a fortune in ill-gotten credits--assets that were lost to her when she was finally captured and jailed. Recognizing her potential, the Republic offered Kendra the chance to put her skills to use for the navy, which is where the young savant truly started to shine.

Exuberant, innovative and sentimental, Kendra popularized the naming of a particular evasive ship maneuver--the "Koiogran Turn"--after her home system of Koiogra. She sometimes feels the tug of her old life, but it's never enough for her to foolishly scrap this second chance.

MZ-12

MZ-12 began its service to the Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War as a simple maintenance droid aboard the personal cruiser of Darth Immern. When the Darth disposed of his crew in a fit of frustration, he had to turn to the MZ unit to help manage the ship's many systems. Though not designed for such duties, Twelve was able to help guide the ship to an Imperial way station, where Darth Immern had the astromech's programming upgraded so that it could serve as his personal navigation droid.

Since Immern's death during the First Battle of Bothawui, Twelve has been in search of a new home. It is now quite adept with ship comms and sensors, and is known to have a bit of an ego about it.

Oro Wogawa

From the very first time the Ithorian witnessed the arrival of a ship on his homeworld, Oro Wogawa has been utterly fascinated with spaceflight technology. As Wogawa sees it, mechanical systems are no different from living systems, requiring an equal amount of attention and nourishment. After stowing away on a pirate craft, Wogawa taught himself to provide such care to ships' engines and began a career as a hired hand on any ship that would have him on its crew.

Though Oro has learned to adopt a certain level of coarseness necessary to cope with crew dynamics, he is at heart a caring being. This is why, after witnessing the cruel, controlling nature of the Sith Empire all across the galaxy, Oro has opted to dedicate his affinity for the inner workings of starships to anyone who opposes them.

Salana Rok

It doesn't much bother Salana Rok when people call the Chiss woman an alien, as that's what she's felt like all her life--even among her own kind, even among family. The closest Salana's ever felt to belonging was as hired muscle for a crime syndicate on Hutta. She eventually grew bored with breaking bones on that seedy planet, however, so she has since opted to turn her love of aggression into a career as a starship gunner.

While often dour and restless, Salana is known to display an enthralling intensity and gleeful passion for causing her enemies to suffer. She doesn't quite understand what she needs to finally feel at home, but she hopes she'll find it someday out among the stars.

Writch Hurley

There is nothing Writch Hurley loves more than technology, and he's not averse to letting it be known. In fact, he can be frequently caught carrying on about hyperdrive motivator cores and microfusion condenser arrays when no one's even around to listen. Writch's random babbling gives him the air of a scatterbrain, but his relentless chatter only helps clear his mind, allowing him to focus on whatever objective is laid before him.

Writch's eccentric and irreverent persona might cause those of a more serious bent to bristle, but there's no denying that he's a major talent worth putting up with. He hopes his hard work will one day bring him to the attention of his not-so-secret crush, noted Imperial technology guru Darth Acina.

Dread Master Bestia

Perhaps the most powerful of the Dread Masters, Bestia first made a name for herself when, as a Sith apprentice, she singlehandedly crushed a slave rebellion on Ziost. This accomplishment brought her to the attention of the Emperor, who invited her to join a group of Sith to study the ancient and powerful Phobis devices. These Sith would become the Dread Masters.

Bestia was the Dread Master responsible for bringing the Masters' prophecies and insights to the Emperor's attention whenever necessary, and also for ensuring the Emperor's commands were carried out. Having learned of the Emperor's fate, she now harbors great contempt for the Empire. And with the loss of Dread Master Styrak, Bestia has become all the more spiteful. She would gladly see the galaxy crumble, even if the Dread Masters were to go with it.

Dread Master Brontes

Long ago, when the Dread Masters began their investigation of the Phobis devices, Brontes led the research, risking her own sanity in the process. She is a consummate scholar and Force adept, generally accepted as the wisest of the Dread Masters in lore and ancient secrets.

Much about Brontes has been forgotten by the other Dread Masters--and even Brontes herself. It is known, however, that Brontes had been a major contributor to the Sith Academy archives, and her insights into the nature and purpose of sacred artifacts led to the construction of the Dark Temple.

Dread Master Calphayus

The Dread Masters are not only masters of fear, but of prophecy, and Calphayus has greater insight into the future than any of his fellow Masters. For centuries, his visions of what might come to pass spared the Sith Empire from slave rebellions, Republic ambushes and internal disruptions many times over.

As Calphayus sees the threads of many futures that might come to pass at any one time, it can be difficult for most to comprehend his insights. However, one certainty that always emerges from Calphayus' visions is that the Dread Masters will ultimately reign supreme.

Dread Master Raptus

If one Dread Master embodies the group's collective voice, it's Raptus. Darkly eloquent and persuasive, he is known for manipulating through words, convincing others to lose all sense of hope or reason, or to even act against their very natures. While the captured Dread Masters were in transit to Belsavis, Raptus compelled a trio of hardened Republic soldiers to end their own lives by simply talking to them.

Raptus is the one Dread Master most likely to address outsiders. With his coldly arrogant demeanor, he doesn't suffer fools for long; those who do not kneel or offer a gift to the Dread Masters will quickly be taught a harsh lesson in manners.

Dread Master Tyrans

One of the most perceptive Dread Masters, Tyrans is never one to act without a plan in place. "Speak little and listen much" is his creed; he prefers to take measure of his opponents before he engages them, employing complex strategies to take advantage of their weaknesses. One of Tyrans' favored tactics is to use his insights to set his enemies at each other's throats.

Tyrans was largely responsible for the design of the Dread Fortress, ensuring that the complex would provide maximum security--not that he's afraid of a straightforward confrontation. As with the other Dread Masters, Tyrans is a formidable foe who will gladly display his impressive mastery of the dark side of the Force when needed.

Lord Hargrev

Fear, pain and power: these are the intense obsessions of the singularly odd Lord Hargrev. Seen by many of his peers as deranged and self-indulgent, Hagrev was often overlooked as a serious Sith lord, never being considered for the title of Darth.

Since the Dread Masters began their recent campaign of terror, Hargrev has been surprised to find himself in high demand. With his thorough understanding of the Dread Masters and the Phobis devices they control, it is the Sith Empire's hope that Hargrev will rise to the occasion and help win the day on Oricon.

Sergeant Trila

With a reputation for being tough, smart and full of bluster, Sergeant Tanye Trila has been barking orders on major battlefronts throughout the galaxy, from Mannett Point on Ord Mantell to Corellia's Axial Park.

The operation on Oricon represents Sergeant Trila's third encounter with the Dread Masters: she was on Belsavis during their initial escape and served as military support in the aftermath of their machinations on Denova. However, it remains to be seen whether she can withstand the waves of Phobis-induced madness on Oricon.

Oricon

Located in an unremarkable system well off the Hydian Way, Oricon seems an almost arbitrary choice for the Dread Masters' home. But anyone with an affinity for the Force can sense that the rocky Outer Rim moon is immeasurably strong with the dark side. Perhaps this is because the legendary Phobis devices are housed on Oricon; perhaps the Phobis devices were built on the moon long ago because of the dark side's preexistence there.

The once-lifeless orb now brims with creatures from across the galaxy, corrupted and driven to frenzy by the Dread Masters' dark experiments. It has also become a starship graveyard, as Republic and Imperial fleets poised to attack the Dread Masters' fortress, torn apart by waves of madness and fear, crashed to the surface. There can be no doubt that Oricon is now one of the most hazardous destinations in the galaxy.
