Secret Imperial Research Facility

This secret facility is in a dilapidated state. There are blinking lights overhead and hazy holographic displays that turn on and off at random. Exposed wiring runs along the floor of corridors and the ceilings alike, occasionally producing a spark as it wears out over time.

The corridors are stark white that is marred by years of neglect, mushrooms and other plants capable of growing underground in the dim light sprouting up between durasteel plates and vines snaking around wires. Small rodents and other animals scamper through the abandoned corridors, generally shy, but curious. Some, it is rumored, are remnants of an old Imperial experiment, and may be more dangerous than the average rodent.
Research labs are strewn with broken glass and beakers filled with anomalous liquids that have long since grown over with mold and mildew. Some creatures still float inside old tanks filled with water, mutated and twisted from what they once were.

At the heart of the facility are several labs that are different from the others. Diagrams of humanoid species line the walls. Several tables occupy this area. There are containment tanks as in the outer sections, but the liquid in these has grown dark and murky, obscuring what may be within – if anything at all. Glowing control panels sit outside some tanks, and terminals still hum with energy elsewhere in the lab. The ancient blast doors that once protected these labs from outside incursion – or sealed something else within – have long since malfunctioned; some move haphazardly back and forth, while

Dandoran: Glade of Atrocity

The sterile and heartless science of the Imperial war machine still lies buried in even the most beautiful and sylvan settings of this world.

The glade in front of you is a small clearing surrounded by lush, beautiful trees and verdant plant life. The sounds of animals and buzzing insects along with the rush of a rushing brook in the distance. The further one walks into the center of the glade the more quiet the sounds become and you notice that while the grass and flowers remain intact you notice that every insect or animal you see near the center of the glade is dead.

A couple of rusted, grown-over hatches underfoot reveal the reason. This glade is home to the underground testing area of Project Errant Petal, an Imperial bioweapons project focusing on the integration of the Dark Side of the Force and alchemy with conventional pathogens to create targeted and highly destructive bioweapons. Experiments included weapons which would target non-human fauna but not plant and agricultural resources to enable the genocide of a planetary population without destroying its agricultural resources and output along with a project to target non-human/alien populations via a Dark Side infused pathogen distributed in the nearby brook, resulting in the death of a largely non-human smuggler/trading village downstream.

While the weather is usually sunny and pleasant year round the after effects of the bioweapons along with the incredible concentration of Dark Side energy resulting from the experiments and massacres involved make the area beautiful but extremely dangerous. Dark Side spirits from Force users involved in the project and its atrocities may remain. While a lot of the underground facility was cleared out in a panic by evacuating Imperials wishing to avoid war crimes tribunals from the New Republic, some evidence of the former experimentation may remain, with the sterile white corridors of the facility appearing relatively new, protected from the elements and time.
