Basically, this is my blog dedicated to the lesser known expanses of the Star Wars universe, and the lore that surrounds them. If you have questions or new post ideas feel free to message me! Could always use support! And may the force be with you!

The Shapers of Kro Var were an order of dark-side-wielding Force-users indigenous to the planet Kro Var. They distrusted Force-users who used invisible manifestations such as telekinesis or mind tricks, and individuals with those talents on Kro Var were persecuted. Instead, most of the Shapers’ abilities were focused around warfare and the harnessing of the elements of earth, fire, water, and air. As such, their particular uses of the Force centered on utilizing and manipulating the powers of nature to suit their needs.

The Imperial Knights, formally the Knights of the Empire, were an order of Force-practitioners loyal to the Emperor of the Fel Empire. They were fully trained in the ways of the Force and rejected the dark side of the Force, unlike previous Imperial Force-based organizations. Though they did not draw on the dark side, they did not strictly follow the light side either, and were viewed as Gray by the New Jedi Order.

Sabacc, or jhabacc, was a popular card game that was often played for high stakes. When played professionally, the game was overseen by a dealer, either organic, as in Coruscant’s Outlander Club, where four-armed Kiughfid dealers passed out the cards and took up money for the house, or mechanical, as in other locales, where automated sabacc dealer droids oversaw proceedings. The Ryn claimed to have invented the sabacc deck and cards as a means of fortune telling.

People think things like Abeloth, Starweirds, and Darth Nihilus are scary.
But honestly nothing in Star Wars scares me more than a man saying “You came from nothing. YOU’RE nothing... but not to me.” and fans taking that line in a romantic light. It is a very poignant line that should resonate with people, but with an obvious negative context. Shivers, truly.

As stormtrooper honor guards, Novatroopers were assigned to either historically significant locations such as the Sith burial grounds of Korriban, or to guard captured enemy starships, they were also used as specialized troopers on the front-line. More rarely, after specialist training they were also known to perform other roles aboard craft such as Naval stations and Imperial Star Destroyers.

The Peragus Mining Facility was the only supplier of shipping-grade engine fuel to the Kwymar sector. It was installed in the Peragus asteroid field as a second attempt at siphoning Peragian fuel after the first one resulted in the near-destruction of the planet Peragus II and was itself an Asteroid. The project was possibly endorsed by G0-T0 during contract negotiations for the Telosian restoration efforts, as he attempted to force the Republic to turn to shipping fuel from Peragus rather than buying it from the Hutts, which he deemed as a suicidal business venture. Here Citadel Station had its main fuel source until the facility was sabotaged and destroyed in the Skirmish at Peragus II as Darth Sion chased Meetra Surik on the Republic warship Harbinger in 3951 BBY.
