SETTING INFORMATION
* City Name: Kaas City
* Classification: Metropolis
* Location: Dromund Kaas
* Affiliation: The Sith Empire
* Population: Crowded - Millions
* Demographics: The city is highly filled with a diversity of races, the most common though are The Sith Species and Humans.
* Wealth: High
The wealth of Kaas City is considered high due to Imperial Tax laws, casinos, bars, cantinas, and shopping networks.
* Stability: High
The Cities stability is high due to the fear of the Empire, constant Imperial Troopers, and Sith patrolling the city not to Mention 3 Harrower Star Destroyers just above the skyline.
Kaas City is the crown world of the Sith Empire.
This planet, above all others, standing even over Korriban has been designated as the Imperial Capital. Dromund Kaas is held close to the hearts of all Sith Purebloods, and since it's reclamation has been a concentrated center of military and Sith activity. The Legions of the Resurgent Sith Empire are stationed here, a massive sliver of the Armada is kept there permanently, and the Shadow Guard, Imperial Guard, and Imperial Troopers stand station within the city itself at all times.
Kaas city is incredibly well defended, and it's residence reflect this. Though there are thousands of slaves within the city they are kept well watched, and mutiny or revolt are almost entirely unheard of due to the simple facts of the Empire's fear stricken power.
* Freedom & Oppression: Citizens of the Empire are free to do as they please, live the life the way they wish as long as Imperial laws are obeyed.
* Description:
<Kaas City at a distance>
The best way to describe Kaas city is as a twisted reflection of the Senate District of Coruscant.
Kaas City was a dark metropolitan city with hundreds of skyscCENSOREDrs reaching into the dark stormy skies. It was often lit up by the constant lightning strikes that ripped through the dark sky.
The city itself stretches quite far, ringing and extending out from the Central Imperial Citadel where the Council and 12 Spheres are housed. The city is planned out much like many others, reaching deep into the earth and speckled with residential, commercial, and Industrial districts. Unlike other cities however, Kaas has a certain sort of tone to it. Imperial Troopers stand everywhere, Shadow Guard, and Imperial Guard watch everything, and the buildings seem to rise and loom above everything else.
Imperial Propoganda is on every corner, Slaves are not uncommon, and even the lowest reaches of the city itself seem to be absolutely spotless. There was a maliciousness to everything within Kaas City, almost as if the buildings themselves seem to oppress people walking by. The residence of Kaas City are all Stalwart Imperials, and the general sense within it's walls borders on zealotry.
Kaas City is a reflection of it's creators, a dark, yet somehow beautiful picture of what the Sith bring.
POINTS OF INTEREST
IMPERIAL CITADEL
The Citadel stands at the very center of Kaas City and is probably the most iconic piece of the entire Metropolis.
Placed directly in the middle of the sprawling cityscape the Citadel is made up of 5 spires which stretch directly into the skies. The tips of each tower are topped with lightning rods and the buildings themselves seem to interconnect with one another through a series of sky-ways and bridges. Each of the Spires represents one of the five Spheres of power within the Sith Empire. Within the Spires one can find training halls, libraries, everything that fits whatever Sphere the tower belongs to.
The Imperial Citadel was designed on the outside to be Identical to Vitiate's original design with some different interior style. The Sith Emperor's Throne was still very hidden in the lower levels below ground beyond a labyrinth of hallways. Among the labyrinth was personal chambers of each Dark Council member. The main entrance hall was massive and had statues of important key Dark Lords through history. The Citadel also included :
* Sith Archives
* Training room
* Audience Chamber
* Imperial Intelligence
* Mandalorian Enclave Diplomacy center
* Crafting center
* Personal Imperial offices
* Class rooms
* War rooms
* Armory
* Meditation Chamber
The following rooms were restricted to only The Dark Council, Imperial Hands, and The Emperor.
* The Black Library
* Holocron Vault
* Sorcerers Chamber
* Arcane Labs
* Rune Chamber
* Dark Council Chambers.
There was various more rooms but none of as important as the ones listed. The Citadel stood in the center of Kaas City and was the tallest building in the city.
IMPERIAL MILITARY HQ
The Imperial Military HQ was the grand capital of the Imperial Military. It housed a majority of the Imperial Military officers such as The Grand Moff and Grand Admiral. This massive building has the following listed:
* Communications/Surveillance center
* Imperial Offices
* Class rooms
* Armory
* Training facility
* Shooting range
* Barracks
* Locker rooms
* Gear vendor
* War rooms
* Planning rooms
These were of the most important locations among the HQ's and served as the main outpost for the military on Dromund Kaas
KAAS SPACEPORT
Perhaps as a result of tradition, or simply because it is thought prudent. The Starport for Kaas city is actually set apart from the rest of the Metropolis.
Located about two miles away from the city itself the Starport functions more as an auxiliary supply center than anything else. Though landing pads exist throughout Kaas city, most traffic is routed through the starport and then separately moved to the city itself. This is both a security measure as well as a subtle means of oppression. Through control of the starport the Resurgent Sith Empire is able to control the flow of goods and people, ensuring everything runs as they want it.
The Starport is of course protected by a contingent of Imperial Troopers.
NEXUS ROOM
The Nexus room is a cantina in Kaas City, The cantina had installed a trio of musician droids known as The Leisurenauts to preform a selection of programmed musical tracks when patrons inputted tokens into the cantina's jukebox. The center of the cantina has a massive upside down glass pyramid with an ominous blue light glowing in it.
SPIRES OF VICTORY
A recreation of the once famed monument that stood within Kaas City for a Thousand Years, the Spires of Victory are a piece of the Ancient Sith Empire that has been rebuilt as a symbol of success.
The Spires are an oddly unique structure. Made up of dozens of massive slivers of different and unique medals the spires seem to hover around one another. They shift and move, almost dancing. A dark red light casts from each of the metallic slivers, towering over the central courtyard as they slowly move around and around.
The monument once represented victory over the Republic on Coruscant, now it stands as a reminder of the Rebirth of the Resurgent Sith Empire.
SECURITY: Extreme
The security of Kaas City is always guarded by Imperial Trooper Corps, HK Assassin Droids, The Sith Marauders The Imperial Shadow Guards, and The Imperial Shadow Guard making Kaas City a very well secured city.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Kaas City has a long and storied history.
Though originally the City was constructed thousands of years ago, since then much as happened both to the Metropolis itself as well as the Planet. Even within the last decades much has occurred within the reaches of this beautiful city. Recounting all of this is nearly impossible.
New Kaas City, as it is sometimes referred to, is a continuing effort to rebuild and reconstruct Kaas City into what it once was thousands of years.
The City itself now stands a the epicenter of Dromund Kaas. The power that flows through the planet itself ripples from and through the city and the urban structures seem to swell and glow with the darkside itself. The jungles around the city seem to grow and expand, the Thunderstorms above rage, almost as if a declaration that the Sith have come home.
