Korriban's Flame Station: A Bastion of Deception in the Unknown Regions
Korriban’s Flame Station, an ominous construct of steel and shadow, looms silently within the depths of Imperial space in the Unknown Regions. Positioned east of the Outer Rim Territories, near the forsaken world of Huk and the Kalee system, the station serves as both a symbol of Sith power and a cruel web of deception. Within its cold, metallic halls, secrets simmer and alliances crumble, making it a fitting stage for treachery during the fragile years of the Cold War and the subsequent Galactic War between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic.
The station is divided into three primary zones—the Airlock, the Security Deck, and the heart of its operations, the Operations Deck. Each area speaks to the station's dual purpose: both fortress and snare. The Airlock serves as a grim introduction for intruders, its claustrophobic corridors rife with security measures and subtle design choices that seem to observe and judge anyone who dares enter. Dim red lights line the metallic pathways, illuminating Sith banners like predatory eyes in the dark.
The Security Deck, however, represents the true strength of the station. Here, a sprawling network of control rooms and surveillance hubs monitors every inch of the station. Armed patrol droids, relentless guards, and automated turrets stand ready to defend against Jedi infiltrators or even treacherous Sith rivals. The air on this level hums with tension, as though the station itself senses the intrusion of unwelcome presences.
But it is the Operations Deck where the station’s insidious purpose is revealed. Here, Sith tacticians and officers coordinate secretive missions across the Unknown Regions, using Korriban’s Flame as a launch point for strikes deep into enemy territory. It is here that Jedi Knights Jomar Chul and the Hero of Tython found themselves ensnared in a trap that was equal parts calculated and personal. The fallen Jedi Leeha Narezz, corrupted by the influence of the Sith, orchestrated this confrontation, hoping to capture the Hero of Tython and deliver a crushing blow to the Republic’s Jedi Order.
The very structure of Korriban’s Flame reflects its creators’ sinister brilliance. Beyond its strategic positioning, the station exudes an unsettling energy—its design echoing Sith philosophies of control, dominance, and fear. Whispers from surviving Jedi describe a strange heaviness in the air, as though the Force itself recoils from the presence of such concentrated darkness. Could the station be more than just a military asset? Rumors among Republic spies suggest the Sith may have imbued its walls with Force rituals, amplifying their hold over those within its boundaries.
For Jedi like Jomar Chul, the mission to infiltrate Korriban’s Flame was a dire one—built upon incomplete intelligence and fragile hope. Acting on whispers of Sith Lords gathering to plan a decisive strike, Jomar’s infiltration ended in capture, leaving only the Hero of Tython to challenge the insidious trap. This confrontation would serve as yet another clash between light and dark, one that underscored the danger of operating so close to the fringes of known space.
Korriban’s Flame Station remains an enduring symbol of the Sith Empire’s relentless ambition. For those who encounter it, the station offers no mercy—only a choice: escape and uncover its secrets, or succumb to the dark tendrils of deception lurking within its walls.
