Cato Neimoidia: Bridge Mansion

Utterly unsuited for those suffering of incurable vertigo or debilitating envy, the richly decorated mansion spans between two rock needles low enough to almost swim in Cato Neimoidia's ground-hugging clouds in viewing distance of Tarko-se. Long and slim, the open top held in burgundy and plated with electrum is dotted with gazebos, treasuries, a menagerie and garages for pleasure craft centered around the main residence and protected from winds ynd weather by a subtle atmospheric shield, while the underside is mirrored to camouflage itself in the colors of the clouds. Antennas, vanes and ducts could provide audacious climbers with handholds and platforms should they desire to challenge their luck and Lady Gravity, while the clouds reaching upwards could provide concealment for those who bring their own means of flight. Access to the Bridge Mansion can only be obtained either by flying transportation, or by climbing through the mysterious mountain ranges of Cato Neimoidia's cloud-covered surface. Whoever makes their way here however will enjoy the luxury of total isolation to go about their business.

The mansion lies deserted except for droids keeping the grounds and tending the animals while the owner is distracted on business, but a bit of breaking and entering has never bothered an upstanding crook, did it?

Exegol: Sith Temple

Once lost to the galaxy, the Sith Temple on Exegol was only recently rediscovered. The temple is a colossal, obsidian monolith. Its imposing form still radiates the malevolent power of the Dark Side as a result of generations of Sith rituals and experiments.

The temple's exterior is a complex of obsidian spires and jagged rock formations, seemingly carved from the fabric of the planet itself. Its interior is equally imposing, with vast, empty chambers that were once filled with ancient Sith artifacts or used in dark rituals. Only the odd piece of abandoned machinery or ancient piece of furniture can still be found scattered amongst the myriad rooms that make up the labyrinthine interior. The now abandoned temple’s air is heavy with the scent of decay as what was left behind continues to surrender to time.

At the heart of the Citadel lies the throne room, a vast space dominated by the throne of the Sith Lord. It is here that the Sith Eternal once gathered to worship their dark lord, drawing power from the Force to fuel their sinister plans. The room is bathed in an eerie, crimson light, casting grotesque shadows that dance across the walls. Those who walk in the light must bring it with them, for they will find little of it waiting for them inside the now vacant throne room.

Endor, Abandoned Ewok Village

Built high up in the thick forest canopy of the Forest Moon of Endor rests a long abandoned Ewok village absent of all signs of life. There are large wooden platforms stretching between the ancient trunks and small wooden huts dot the edges of the walkways and the main platform. The aged wood gently creaks in the wind, brushing through ropes dangling from various surfaces. It would seem the previous inhabitants left behind traps of crude design for any predator who may come looking for them. While the huts are empty of their former occupants, if one looks hard enough among old furnishings and trophies of conquest from the Battle of Endor they may find various primitive weapons.

Warning: It is unknown how long this settlement has been abandoned. Due to this, please be aware that the wooden platforms, walkways, huts and ropes may not be as sturdy as they once were, hence why chunks of wood are missing from walkways. Step lightly, it is a long way down to the forest floor.

The wind gusts through large, wide, flat field of chest high grass. A light drizzle is just starting, with thunder clapping and lightning striking off in the distance coming closer. Sakura trees dot the area here and there. Somehow light doesn't follow the laws of physics in this place and everything is black and white, save for lightsaber blades.
