Talravin System

The Talravin System is one of the seven systems in the Kuat Sector. It currently houses a total of four planets, most of which are fairly inhabitable. The Talravin system lies along the Southern border of the Kuat Sector. Much like its closest neighbors the Vuma System and the Raxxa System, it was ignored by the Galactic Empire for many years due to the systems inhospitable planets.

Today there is a lot of mystery surrounding the Talravin System. It's current restricted access combined with its patchy history has kept it a hot topic for Courscanti conspiracy theorists. Some believe the system to hold dark secrets, buried by the Empire over the years. Reports of experiments gone wrong and violations against sentient beings have been on the lips of theorists for decades. Others believe that ancient ruins buried deep under the snow laden surface of Talravin (I) holds keys to powers older than that of The Force.

A Search for Identity

Tensions high between Galactic Empire & Imperial Core

Talravin was first recognized just before the second reign of Emperor Vodo Bonias. Vodo was a Sith Warlord who formed the Dark Empire. The Dark Empire came about during the The Great Break, when the Imperial government had been torn apart by two warring factions, the Imperial Core and the Galactic Empire. Eventually Vodo, upon his return convinced the Emperor Charon to merge the two sides in an attempt at peace. During this combine of the two sides, those initially loyal to the Imperial Core and the former Dark Empire, were opposed to returning to the Empire's capital city of Coruscant. Many Sith formerly under the rule of the Dark Empire went searching nearby systems for any undiscovered assets that would give them advantages over their enemies. Small scavenger parties were formed to prod Talravin and other nearby systems for anything that may aid their allies and themselves.

This search produced minimal results other than a handful of fossils scattered across Talravin & Talravin (I). The Galactic Empire was soon wrapped in civil war again, with the rise of Emperor Greyson Uebles and eventually the installation of Vodo Bonias as emperor for his second reign. When Greyson Uebles stepped down to make way for Emperor Bonias, he disappeared. Reports and sightings manifested throughout the galaxy for some time after but eventually ceased and were forgotten. Uebles was rumored to have made a stop through the Talravin System, due to the lore surrounding the planet Talravin itself.

A Search for Meaning

After the temporary stabilization of the Galactic Empire by Emperor Bonias, Talravin became a target for developing new scientific research studies on sentient understanding and cultural advancement. Many research stations have been built in the Kuat Sector over the years due to the ever growing Kuat Drive Yards, placing importance on weapon and ship technology development. The Talravin System would be different. Emperor Bonias saw the constant struggle among his Imperial citizens to co-exist with species of varying cultural and biological differences. The Empire itself has always prescribed to a classification of all species when it comes their their involvement in the structural importance within the galaxy.

In the fifth year of the galactic timeline, Bonias order stations to be constructed in the Talravin system. Speculations about their purpose was widely debated among citizens throughout the Empire. The stations themselves were erected fairly quickly. Many within the Imperial command were surprised at how soon the stations were completed and filled with scientists and engineers. Five research stations were eventually built within the system. The total project took less than a galactic year to complete. To ensure the stations had way access, a shipyard was constructed in the middle of them, as a hub for Imperial scientists to gather and discuss their findings in a communal setting.

In the early years of their existence, they were fairly simple structures, outfitted with minimal devices used to carry out minor experiments on microorganisms and local plant life. The stations were to work as teams in a effort to better understand how certain subspecies spread throughout the galaxy. Scientists led survey missions throughout Imperial territories and beyond, tasked to gather small samples of varying planet vegetation, minerals and even the occasional organism. Other governments cooperated with the Empire's efforts in the early years, applauding their strive to better understand the galaxy and its inhabitants. This soon attracted private investors who contracted Imperial scientists to follow leads of their own genealogical makeup in hopes of uncovering their ancestral connections and beginnings.

With an influx of new funding and the Imperial High Command seeing potential for growth, the facilities soon started to see an upgrade. New additions to the old research stations were added and some were even replaced with newer and larger more functioning versions. Credits were pumped into the research projects like never before. Even the scientists were shocked at how much funding was coming through and hired bigger financial teams to manage its use. This new growth prompted scientists to reach farther than ever before. In the early years restrictions were placed on where and what they could study, but as interest and new findings rose, restrictions slowly started to fade. This was seen by many as a triumph for the world of science and cultural advancement, but those opposed would mark it as the beginning to a tragic end.

Unrestricted Access

Thomas Khan developing biological weapons

Scientists were always careful in their studies. They adhered to strict regulations and a code of laws, emphasis always being made in regards to safety and protocol. Once the influx of funds began to pour in and more and more scientists were brought on board, these regulations and code of ethics began to wear thin. Scientists wanted bigger and better and many became arrogant and careless. The best example of this was a scientist by the name of Thomas Khan. Thomas had been working on Research Station Alpha since the projects inception. He was personally chosen by Imperial High Command due to his extensive background in alien anatomy and microbiology. Thomas was a teacher at one of the leading universities on Coruscant before being called upon to lead the research team aboard Alpha.

Thomas, in the beginning was a true leader; resourceful, temperate, and creative. He made several advancements in his studies of microorganisms in regards to their behavioral tendencies in situational scenarios. He was adored by his colleagues and honored again and again by Imperial Command for his achievements and contributions to the Galactic Empire. Command began entrusting Thomas with other experiments, mostly biological weapons, to be used in the case of war between the Empire and the Krath Dynasty. Tensions were always high and Imperial Intelligence urged the emperor to ensure the Empire had every advantage possible in the case war did break out. Thomas continued to work diligently and he continued to be showered with honors and awards for his contributions.

This constant appreciation and praise is what eventually led to a shift in Thomas's behavior. Before long he became arrogant and prideful. He found that he could manipulate his team members into believing anything and that's all he needed to begin his own experiments. Thomas's specialty was living organisms. When he found new ways to weaponize the biological power he was specialized in, he also discovered a deeper potential for biological beings when it came to weaponization.

At first, his team was wary. A live Twi'lek subject? The idea of using a living, breathing, and intelligent life form in an experiment made his team wary in the beginning stages. Thomas sense that his team was unsure of his motives and put them at rest by having close contacts within High Command, sign off on the experiments. What the team didn't know, was that the "official documents" were in regards to a supposed medical condition, on which to treat the Twi-lek male for a disease contracted off world. Thomas simply made some easy edits to the document, convincing his team he has full permission from Imperial Command.

Thomas's team at work

With his team onboard the experiments began. Simple modifications were made at first. Non-evasive implants, minor limb augmentation, but before long, things would spiral out of control. Specimens soo were placed into tanks and monitored after biological shifts in their organs or cellular structure was made. The experiments began to die, but Thomas was insistent that this was part of the process. Thomas, with his deep funded pockets, was able to enlist galactic mercenaries to capture and bring new subjects into his lab for experimentation. Other parts of the lab, originally used to study microorganisms and plant life, were torn out to make way for more species from all over the galaxy.
