Attached is the file given to us by Agent Mengsk Wendt, who had been a sleeper-agent within the One Sith for a few years before breaking off into "freelance". No Bothans gave their lives in the process, but the data was pricey nonetheless.

Though the Ancient fortress' outer features resemble a hexagon, its inner main-structure resembles that of a star, separating it into six different floors that unite in a central chamber. From this chamber one can reach for the central tower and the sanctum on top of it. As Intelligence provided some information about the leading One Sith Forces, Intelligence was also able to locate the general area in which they can be found. Saying that, the most northern floor has been occupied by Dark Adept Janni Kuran and the Akk dogs that accompany her. Following clock-wise reports indicate that the north-eastern floor has become the vault of Dark Adept Synin Torin, from where the mad-gone mechanic has send out his droid companions to survey the areas of the southern and north-western floor. Next, on the south-eastern floor lies the area which has been reported to have become the personal studying ground of Darth Necren.

1. Main doors – Nothing special here.
2. Main hall – Two doors lead off left and right to separate chambers housing numerous items. These items are, of course, alarmed. Any and all attempts to remove the items from their storage will result in all doors locking to either of the chambers and poisonous gases being released into the room. The gases are nerve gas and will incapacitate everyone in the room in a matter of seconds. The doors leading from these rooms to the west open into training chambers. Weapons of all descriptions can be found with sparring mats in the centre of the rooms.
3. Outer and inner security doors – The outer doors will open on voice command. The voice has to be recognised by the system or the fortress will go into full lockdown, making escape almost impossible. All security will be mobilized after the sirens sound. The inner door can only be opened by an individual with a palm print recognised by the system. If the palm is not recognised when pressed to the plate, a clamp will cover the arm entirely and a hidden blade inside will sever the arm at the wrist, making weapon use difficult. The pepetrator will be held whilst klaxons sound and forces are mobilized.
4. Secure inner doors – Require thumbprints to access. Rooms inside have varying contents from offices to quarters. The two main doors to the Main Chamber require thumb and voice prints to open with the same consequences as in (3 – outer doors).
5. Courtyard – An open space with tall walls where people can meditate and relax.
The main chamber is where all persons of import hold their counsel. The room consists of a raised dais at the west end with a bench and throne-like seat, and tiers of seating to the north and south sides of the room. The room can be flooded with nerve gas when an emergency arises and has destruct mechanisms in the underside of the raised bench. The room can enter lockdown, trapping all inside as security forces are called to assist.

My main entry is included in the uploaded file, but this is the second part of it, which is a key explaining some details of it (in character): http://i.imgur.com/iwkyG27.jpg I wish for this to be considered as part of my entry, if possible. I would have simply uploaded both, but I do not think the site allows me to submit two files to one competition.

Nicht Ka GFX fiction by 4856 Macron Sadow

Lord Esoteric’s Fortress

The hexagonal fortress on Nicht Ka is an old structure. Originally discovered by the Exploration Corps, it was first erected by unknown Dark Side cultists in allegiance to Freedon Nadd. It has since become a paragon of One Sith power under Lord Esoteric. In fact, it has been transformed into an impregnable fortress straight from Hell.

The hexagonal design of the structure is a stable form, being a platonic solid and is by it’s solid geometric nature very resilient both to earth tremors and orbital bombardment.
Sith Lord Esoteric performed massive upgrades on the structure. Deep drill holes established geothermal power to supplement the fusion reactor in the bowels of the structure. Even if the fusion reactor goes offline, the geothermal sources can maintain a lower level of power generation indefinitely. The reactor itself is used as a defense in later stages.

The already formidable stone walls were enhanced with durasteel corings. Interior spaces were gutted and ripped out to install a plethora of automated blaster-turrets. Twisting passages were made even more complicated in order to expose enemies to maximum travel time to the core, as well as maximum dwell-time by defending units and emplacements. An underground passage between Zones Three and Four was created to enable the Fortress controllers to flood it as enemies passed within.Various other traps, closed in spaces, and puzzles were created as detailed below.

The Zones

The entire fortress has been split into six “Zones”, each separated by zonal mag-sealed walls powered by the reactor deep below the structure.

Zone One: The Turrets

Zone One is made with many automated blaster turrets at every turn. They are situated for maximum fields of fire at all turns in the corridors. Two blind dead ends isolate lost foes, and the larger circular one has turrets by the entrance that wait to open fire until the enemy has fully entered the chamber and a mag-sealed door shuts behind them. These are designed to kill the weak, and wear the strong down. They are powered by the reactor in the deeps and can be run by the geothermal backup plant.

Zone Two: The Stickers

Zone Two is comprised of a plethora of traps. Flame and plasma projectors in particular are a hazard for Jedi, as the flame and plasma bursts cannot be deflected by lightsabers. As well, magnetic dart-throwers come from tiny recesses in almost every wall, and target enemies at random. The darts are covered in insidious poisons. Ports in the floor and ceiling also burst with flames, barbecuing invaders from the boots up or top-down.

Zone Three: The Killing Cyst

This rather large chamber serves one purpose- to house the many droids that will attack any enemies that may have made it this far into the fortress en-masse. The circular chamber has numerous obstructions that serve as cover for the droids. The chamber is large, and the ceiling is almost 15 meters in height. As such floating and airborne droids and weaponry are used the the defenders. YVH series droids move around and between the known sight-obstructions to slay their targets. Weakened foes are hammered to dust beneath the droid’s relentless onslaught.

Zone Four: The Maze

Zone Four is a twisting series of passages patrolled by various assassin-type droids and YVH droids. The passages are dark, foggy, and the droids often move out to attack from alcoves and surprise locations. It is a prime location for One Sith fighters who know the layout to engage already weakened parties of invaders. Assassin droids with many legs crawl along the ceiling and walls, and attack from favorable angles.

Zone Five: The Gas Chambers

Zone Five is an awful place. Various sealed doors can shut behind invaders (some of them mag-sealed) and their interiors then can be filled with poison gases. As well, the waste stream from the reactor below can be diverted to stretches of the folded corridors. This allows for a severe hard-radiation hazard in those areas for a limited time. Persons not wearing NBC capable suits or who are unable to absorb or nullify the energies will find themselves dead rather quickly. The possibility of death, cancers, debilitation, mutation, radiation sickness, and leukemia is high to those who have been exposed without proper protection or Force skills.

Zone Six: Inner Sanctum

The Inner Sanctum is the location of Esoteric’s library and command center. As well, the Sith Lord maintains a Meditation Sphere of a small size here. There is also a chamber that stores the Dark Artifacts under observation and study. From this chamber, all the functions of the Fortress can be controlled by Lord Esoteric. This is the center of his hubris, and he defends it with zeal. Invaders can expect to have Dark Side artifacts used against them, including such things as Sith Amulets and other powerful tools. Lord Esoteric himself is the main threat here along with his students.
