Planet:Maldor

Maldor is a former Farming colony and minor agricultural world located within the Mid Rim of the, for years ignored by most of the major governing bodies due to it's relative small population and basic exports, which included farming goods such as food, drinks, clothing materials, and other things. Even at the height of the Empire, the world was ignored by all sides for many years. It was only during the time of Phaedric Order|Phaedric Lord, or Blackhole, did the world become of some interest. Having just returned from his sojourn within and Phaedron, the ancient homeworlds and capitals of the, was he able to chart out several worlds of interest to those sensitive to , and sought to use it as his base of operations, as he prepared a new generation of servants of the Emperor drawn from mere children.

For this, he brought his flagship, the Singularity, and two other Star Destroyers into position, and wiped out all life on the world, not allowing one to escape, as he ordered Imperial engineers to prepare a large base structure in the mountain of Maldor, now turned into a unstable volcanic structure. From here, he prepared a massive military and scientific base, many of his labs placed here, along with a barracks to train his elite Troopers, and several other aspects to accomplish his tasks. Within time, children sensitive to Valin were brought to his hideout, and there, would be trained and converted to his Dark Creed, so to maximize their power for the Emperor's service.

Early history
Maldor is an obscure world, despite it's relatively close position to other civilized worlds, and early on, was used as a staging point for agricultural trade and bringing food stuffs and other materials to larger city-worlds within Cyrannus, and despite a somewhat large population (for a farming) colony, never expanded beyond it's original role. The most interesting topic was when the Old governor had to be executed by the Empire for his loyalty to the Republic, but otherwise, the world was not even considered fit to host a Stormtrooper regiment. As such, the world generally remained forgotten by everyone, though would become far more important with the return of the Phaedric Lord Crothal the Shadowspawn, returning from his studies and meditations within the Unknown Regions and in Antemurale and Phaedron.

His mediations within the two homeworlds of the Phaedra, and even speaking with the Valin-preserved haunting spirits of their ancient Warlords and Kings, lead him to be able to pinpoint other potential worlds of interest to those sensitive in Valin, and with the Emperor's approval, began to chart and secretly transfer their coordinates to the Emperor and other members of his Order so they could plan out how to occupy, shape and guard these worlds and their secrets. In his travels, Crothal came to the conclusion that the best course of action was to take the youngest beings sensitive in this power, and cull and kidnap them while they were young, so that their power could fully come out.

Still onboard the Singularity, the Shadowspawn transmitted his plans to the Emperor, and was given clearance to do so. After much difficulty brought on by Resistance members somehow getting the leaks for his plans, and resistant parents loath to part with their children, Crothal gathered his young wards, and decided upon a world to take them. Now seeing Maldor as a potential nexus of Valin Energies, Crothal sought to transform it into such a tool, and, to complete his plan, brought two other Star Destroyers into orbit, and after tearing every child from their parents, so as to turn them into future Stormtroopers and other servants, completely destroyed the world and it's population, wiping them out, and turning the former farming colony into a hellish wasteland of lava and ash.

He quickly had engineers convert the Governor's ruined palace into a place where future Inquisitors would be trained, transformed the market/trading hub of the world into a Sorting Centre, where the weaker or less disciplined Valin students would be turned into his Pawns, and had a special base built into the main Maldorian mountain of Valkath, now a volcano, using gravitic generators to stabilize some of the lava and magma to keep the massive "Shadow Base" safe from harm. The Shadow base became a massive complex, where Stormtroopers and his own Blackhole Troopers, could be trained and outfitted, his Valin-infused students trained to become future Lords, and his own project "The Emperor's Hands", to serve him. The Shadow Base further held his observatory, library and throne room to observe and plan out his next attacks and intelligence operations.

After gathering the last of his children to his side, Crothal brought his Inquisitor student Savis Crevix, to explain his operations and plans to him, and continue the training of these younglings, hoping to unleash them one day upon the New Republic and any of their allies. Though he would still maintain his base on the Unknown Regions world of Relarith, Maldor became his personal capital as he trained his forces.
