Matador

## Matador System

* The **Matador system** is one of the few known systems to exist in the unknown region of the galaxy. This is due to its popularity with the sith during the sith wars. It was home to a force connected near human species with little to no intel known to both the Order and GR except that they were eradicated during sith occupation. During the sith wars much of the system was devastated and whole planets were destroyed/consumed. Three planets remain; Vol Matador, Varkul, Zarnes. The remains of this desolate system became sullied and infested by ‘crime’ and low lifes shortly after the siths’ defeat--it’s lawless so ‘criminal’ by moral code and GR standards. A crime syndicate known as the Scarlet Ascendancy easily took advantage and rose to power and it still acts as the current governing force. The syndicate has their system secured by a magnet field that allows visitors to come and but not leave to keep their existence on the down low. **\*Only SA official ships with specialty codes were allowed to leave, likewise only certain comms could make cantact to and from\*** When the SA sought to grow their society they made outposts near lesser used hyperspace routes to periodically slice ships’ (made to avoid GR and other unwanted coded ships) control and reroute them to the Matador systems. (considering the galaxy has actual zillions and zillions and zillions and what goes after zillions this method could give a substantial pop growth). Those trapped either were assimilated or found themselves partaking in the Red Trials.

* **Vol Matador**-a planet covered in cityscape, not to the same extent as coruscant...its coruscant with like two levels
* **Talmara**- two sides here; the nice portion of the planet where the rich and corrupt live and the second part was farming land because they had to be self-sufficient. Farms are operated with snazzy tech- no manual labor needed here!
* **Varkul**- A smaller planet composed of jungle biome and hot temperatures. When the Scarlet Ascendancy came to power they removed all residents from the planet and turned it into an intricate large scale lab/ HQ that takes up 2/3 of the planet despite it being mostly hidden from view (ancient temples, under water, underground, in mountains, maybe a volcano idk).
* **Zarness**-The sister planet to Varkul. Zarness is another small planet (slightly bigger than its sister planet) that was once composed by a hot jungle biome as well. The sith wars left it a waste lands of three variants; vicious molten landscape, dry lifeless desert, and toxic swamps that bubble and release toxins into the air. A small portion of its jungle was remaining by the time the Scarlet Ascendancy came. The syndicate preserved the jungle before it succumbed to the same fate as the rest of the planet. This was done by confining it and controlling it with a force shield which allowed for an artificial climate and ecosystem to take over (the Red Wilds). The Red Wilds were not spared by the Scarlet Ascendancy for conservation purposes, their intentions were far from pure.

**The Red Wilds**- The spared jungle was given an atrocious new purpose and was horrifically refurbished. The native flora and fauna was drastically changed as the Scarlet Ascendancy introduced mutants, genetically modified variants of native species, artificially designed and created species, as well as invasive species imported. The purpose was to create a callous environment to host the syndicate’s newest cash flow enventure that would define its new criminal empire and society, the Red Trials.
