Greetings all,

Welcome to a preview of the Brotherhood’s Fourteenth Great Jedi War, Homefront. This post will go over our own home Arx System where the coming War will take place, with posts on scoring details, fictional updates and competitions following.

The coming war will take place in the Arx System, where our new home has come under its first direct attack by enemies of the Brotherhood. Just to familiarize everyone we will touch on some key holdings by the Dark Council in space here in this post, but a lot more information can be found on the wiki about the planet Arx itself here.

The Arx System

The Arx System is located in the depths of Wild Space, and is isolated from the galaxy at large. It contains a yellow dwarf star and a single life sustaining planet Arx which is the current seat of power for the Brotherhood.

The Nesolat Platform is the main Shadow Academy Platform. Specifically designed to accommodate constant traffic from students and researchers doing business with the Dark Council and in support of the Clans of the Brotherhood. It is an imposing defensive structure with defense similar to that of a modern star destroyer. As a final defensive act only, the platform’s administration and observation sections will detach and navigate their way to the surface of Arx and dock with the Shadow Academy facilities there.

Mattock Station is the main shipyard and service station for Arx Capital Exchange also known as ACE. Designed with three massive berths capable of servicing the largest ships in service of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. It is an imposing structure in its own right with defensive capabilities similar to that of a modern star destroyer, with its shields projecting to the ships in service at the yards to protect them.

The Godless Matron is a Lucrehulk-class battleship serving as the base of operations for the Shroud Syndicate, the criminal organization operating in Brotherhood space. The dated ship has been fully refurbished and retrofitted with modern weapon systems and shields as well as a sizable starfighter force in its massive hangers.

The Shield Gate is a space station in orbit above Arx that emits an impenetrable deflector shield around the planet Arx, only allowing ships to pass through the opening of its wheel like structure. It is heavily armored and shielded itself along with six squadrons that will come to its defense. It serves as a gateway to the planet’s surface, with major stations operating outside the deflector shield for ease of business while protecting the city and surface structures below.

We’ve all likely encountered these locations in the past in the course of doing business. Especially as major hubs of activity for multiple societies. Now the war comes to our door. Coming later will be the fiction where it all starts, and the competitions themselves where you’ll likely find your character at locations above.
