The Stygian Caldera Society Faction: The Stygian Caldera Society Faction Leader: Darth Bjorn Members: @TheRiddlersMind, @Brickwolf, @Macropus, @Bucketheadbricks, @Southern Creator Faction pseudonyms: SCS, The Stygian Society, The Stygian Syndicate, and The Stygian Remnant. Affiliation: Neutral Headquarters/Capital: Galidraan (R6) Systems: Centares (R7), Columex (R6), The Wheel (R7), Trogan (R7), Vinsoth (N5), Ciutric (N5), Abafar (N5), Toprawa (P5) Sectors: Vorzyd sector, Maldrood sector Grid: N5, R7 Description The Stygian Caldera Society (SCS) was a shadowy syndicate led by the former Imperial Advisor, Lord Eniro Hassat. Publicly, the organisation dealt in corporate manufacturing, technology, research and engineering, and was involved in business across the galaxy. In reality, however, the faction was an occultist crime syndicate run by a group of powerful bureaucrats, building on a substantial portion of the remnants of the Imperial Department of Military Research. Buried in secrecy, layers of bureaucracy, and corporate masquerades, the Stygian Caldera Society was devoted to studying the dark side, and experimenting with the occult. Most of the society’s directive was initiated by Emperor Palpatine himself, but with the increase of high ranking imperial officers dabbling in the occult, the society’s focus shifted towards weaponising dark powers, gaining influence and wealth across the galaxy. History The Stygian Society is a fairly young organization, but it’s dark ideology and sinister agenda is as old as the Sith Order. Organization The Stygian Caldera Society is a collective of departments and subsidiaries, ruled by the ‘Inner Circle’ of the Stygian Caldera Society. Some departments are closely woven into the Society, working directly towards the Society’s agenda. Others have representatives in the inner circle, but act independently, following occasional orders and directives. THE INNER CIRCLE The Inner Circle is the governing entity of the Stygian Caldera Society. This cabal is shrouded in secrecy, and is exclusively for initiated members. The inner circle has its own internal ranks, but is ruled through an iron fist by the four lords, and the overlord. IMPERIAL DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY RESEARCH The Stygian Caldera society naturally formed around a large portion of Imperial Department of Military Research operations overseen by Lord Eniro Hassat, and consolidated under Dr. Obulon’s leadership. The operations of the department included the Maw Installation, The Acolyte Program, Project Harvester, Project Starscream, some projects from the Tarkin Initiative, and the Dark Trooper Program. Other projects were even more secretive, dabbling in dark sciences, the unnatural, and occult. The department also held volumes of information on other Imperial research projects across the galaxy. With the increasing interest in the occult, the department was often referred to as the Imperial Cabinet of Madness. You might find yourself as a lead scientist or engineer working on a highly classified project, trying to unearth the secrets of wicked artifacts, or collect subjects for your experiments. Or, you might be travelling the galaxy, as an archeologist, searching for lost relics in ancient ruins. STYGIAN SOCIETY DEVOTEES With so many operations conflicting with the Galactic Concordance, the society had grown a substantial network of specialized agents, and devotees, to lead highly secretive operations. Navigating the shadows of the occult and criminal underworld required a special breed of operative. You may find yourself as a former Special Forces agent, carrying out covert missions for the society. Or you could be a Relic Hunter scouring the galaxy for powerful Sith artifacts, vital for some cult ritual. ARMED FORCES, INTELLIGENCE, AND SECURITY The consolidation of research operations incorporated several ISB departments, and armed forces, under the society’s leadership. These forces were responsible for safeguarding imperial interests, and would continue to do so for the SCS. In addition to safeguarding activities and assets, the SCS was also joined by various local law-enforcement agencies, on worlds loyal to the SCS. You might find yourself as a special forces operative, agent or an intelligence officer reporting to Lord Amus, leader of the SCS Intelligence, and CrimSec. You could also be reporting to one of the Imperial Officers, among the ranks of the more classically trained armed or naval forces. Or, you could be an elite member of one of the many local law-enforcement units, loyal to the SCS. OTHER AFFILIATIONS, DEPARTMENTS, AND SUBSIDIARIES Territory The heart of the Stygian Caldera Society stretches from Centares in the Maldrood sector, northwards past Columex to the Thanium sector. However, this region is not controlled by occupation, but rather through influence and political loyalty. In general the Stygian Caldera does not conquer worlds, as much as it infects, and manipulates systems into submission. Outside the Stygian society’s heartlands, locations are scattered all across the galaxy, and include research outposts, archeological sites. occult enclaves, and other sinister facilities. Assets Frequently Asked Questions HOW DO I JOIN? Send an application in PM to faction leader @Darth Bjorn, building your case for, why you are a perfect fit for the Stygian Caldera Society. WHAT SHOULD MY BUILDS LOOK LIKE?As a faction rising from the ashes of the Imperial Department of Military Research, your builds could be inspired by imperial aesthetics. The Stygian Caldera Society is a villainous faction, meaning that a sinister, and dark undertone in your builds are highly encouraged. WHERE CAN I BUILD? The Stygian Caldera Society is more about small secretive enclaves and outposts, than a massive territory. That means that the SCS is scattered across the galaxy, with a few permanent strongholds. Above you will find a map of sectors, systems and hyperlanes accessible to the faction. You are allowed to build anywhere in the Star Wars galaxy, but only by building in accessible systems can you earn Influence Points (IP = System Control) for the faction. Members of the Stygian Caldera Society can build in any system, where the faction has control or a presence (red regions, grids, and systems). Members can also build on any system along the red hyperlanes.

The Imperial Consortium Formerly The Imperial Triumvirate Faction: The Imperial Consortium Faction Leader: @shockwave_bricks Members: @Gubi0222, @ARKUM ELO, @williambrickalliance, @Bociephus, @Spud The Viking, @Anton_Bricks, @StandaartWoudt, @halixon, @P2_br1ck, @Lego Jokel, @OG-Bricks, @Anton_Bricks Faction pseudonyms: TIC Affiliation: Imperial Remnant Headquarters/Capital: Atrisia Systems: Zonama Sekot (F13), Gannaria (H15), Cerea (I16), Chalcedon (I16), Glee Anselm (J7), Mondress (J7), Vicondor (J7), Byss (K11), Trenwyth (I16), Khomm (L12), Balosar (L12), Thomork (L12), Trellen (M11), Byblos (M12) Sectors: Mandress Sector Grid: J7, F13, I16, L12 Description The Imperial Consortium (TIC) was a coalition formed of opportunistic Imperial warlords that toppled the former leadership of the Imperial Triumvirate. Consolidated under seven high ranking imperial warlords, this new Imperial Remnant had taken refuge in the deep core, and the unknown regions, in order to regroup and rebuild. History The Imperial Triumvirate was just the beginning. The first victory of many. From the embers of the Imperial Triumvirate, a new order rises; The Imperial Consortium. Organization THE RULING COUNCIL The leadership of the Imperial Consortium consisted of a league of high-ranking imperial officers, warlords, and moffs. This league was formalized in the form of a ruling Council, aligning and overseeing matters across the individual imperial remnants, fleets, and assets. Although consolidated under a united leadership, each warlord still maintained a large degree of autonomy of their remnant. SPECIAL FORCES Although subjugated to the Galactic Concordance, the Imperial Consortium continues to carry out sinister schemes and plots to restore the former glory of the Empire. Most of these activities are covert and highly secret, calling for highly trained commando soldiers, and other special forces. You could find yourself among this elite, carrying out pivotal missions coming from the very top of the Imperial Consortium. TROOPERS Training of new stormtroopers has been banned, but training of security personnel and repurposing old stormtrooper gear works just as well. The army, navy, and security troopers are still the backbone of the Imperial Consortium. ANCILLARY PERSONNEL In order to make the wheels keep turning, ancillary personnel are vital. This includes cargo pilots, scientists, manufacturers, operations officers, clerks, and the list keeps on going. Although this group does not make it to the recruitment posters, these professionals are vital to the various operations. Territory The Imperial Consortium has withdrawn to the Deep Core Security Zone, and various fortress worlds in the Unknown Regions. Here the new imperial order will further secure their strongholds, and once more expand the Imperial borders, to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. Inventory In this section you will find various custom printable accessories free to use in your creations. Banners and Pauldrons can be printed on regular paper, and carefully cut out (They don’t last long, but they look pretty good if you don’t move them too much). Stickers are a little more tricky, since you need glossy sticker paper in order to get the same look and feel as real lego stickers. If you have any questions or ideas for new accessories, please feel free to PM Darth Bjorn. Frequently Asked Questions HOW DO I JOIN?

Hello sir! I saw your post on Flickr, and we would be honored to have you in our ranks. We are transitioning into season two of Factions shortly, but I'll PM you the details... Looking forward to welcome you to our Faction! Long live the Empire!

I'm sure the Triumvirate would love to have you. @marvelBoy123 is the new leader of this Faction. I'm sure he'll reach out to you with the details.

Hah - maybe subconsciously...

Thanks! Yeah, it takes a lot of fidgeting to get everything to look and fit well. Yeah - this is really a technique I'm trying to balance - there's so many unused or rarely used undersides - but the real trick is not to overdo it...

Thanks - this was fun to do. Could be some fun stories to explore in the future. Thanks - gold is definitely an interesting color to work with, and I think I got lucky with DBG - black or white could also be interesting...

One detail, that imo would have taken this build to the next level - I would lower the ground level, two plates. Something I've learned in the last six months - makes the base so nice to look at...

Oh man! I love that vehicle!! TIE vehicles as an idea seems a bit ridiculous, but this one is super imposing and menacing! Stunning battlefield!

Very nice little building... Could you elaborate on the reasoning behind crop-top-no-pants?!

This is excellent! Awesome to see some new and fresh architecture that fits in the SW universe!

Great and clean stuff as always!! Well done!

Lots going on, but overall its a pretty nice build... I wonder if the smoke column could feel more organic, but I have a hard time seeing what you could do different... Great stuff!

Nice little build... The rockwork in the back is good, and I like how you've done the terrain before adding the vegetation... I look forward to see your next build as always! ;)

This is a really impressive build and story - nice way to introduce the Jedi!

This build looks pretty impressive - I'd love to see a behind the scenes shot...

Nice little scene. The brick-built head is very creative, and the colors used seems very Gamorrean... ;) Great job!

Nice - both ships are really good, but as a true imperial, I must say that TIE is magnificent! The wings are great, and that solution for the front is really interesting!

YES! - but noooo... We're not ready to say goodbye to Farantros yet!! Awesome build - the architecture is super well done, and the angled buildings really adds to the feeling, that this is cramped and narrow streets of a bigger city... So many cool little details to pick out! Love the main front door design, the threads as fence, the rounded building, and lots of neat little crates! ;) Great entry!

Another great build - somehow the urban vibe feels unique... That's rare... ;)

Beautiful messy buid - love the splashes of color. The combinations work really well! Also the posing of the downed stormtrooper is cruel!

This is really good... I'm really fond of the ground work - it just seems natural! The two buildings are also nice, original and fits SW, with some nice details, like piping etc.

A black star destroyer will always look menacing - the flat bridge also gives it a evil look imo. I'd love to see the back-end, and lower part for judging. Great ship!
