Dark Side Sites
Some areas, like some beings, are strong in the dark side. They resonate with corrupt energy. These places emanate evil and darkness, creating cold spots in the Force that disturb those who are sensitive to the energy that binds the galaxy together. For those who draw upon the dark side, these spots serve as wells of power that can sometimes be tapped for greater effect.
Dark side sites can be created in a number of ways. When acts of great evil or violence take place at a location and are accompanied by the manipulation of the Force, a dark side site can come into being. If a powerful darksider operates in a specific place for a long period of time, or if that darksider meets a violent end at a specific location, that place can also become imbued with the dark side.
Such a site feels cold and dark even on the brightest, warmest days. It radiates evil, casting shadows the way a glowrod casts light. While these lark side sites are few and far between, when one comes into existence it lingers, haunting the galaxy or many years. While the dark side sometimes permeates extremely large areas, in general a dark side site will be relatively small. A tiny cave, a ruined temple, an ancient battlefield, a crypt of some long dead Sith Lord. these are the typical dark side sites that might be encountered. Sometimes an entire moon or planet might radiate with the dark side, as in the cases of Dxun and Korriban, but such sites are rare. In a few cases, a dark side spirit might also haunt a dark side site
Dark Side Sites and Non-Force Sensitives
Those without a strong connection to the Force find dark side sites to be creepy. As long as they remain in the area, non-Force-sensitive beings feel uneasy, nervous. They can't identify the source of their discomfort, but they probably won't want to remain in such an area any longer than necessary.
Dark Side Sites and Force Sensitive
Characters with a connection to the Force can feel the ever present evil that permeates a dark side site. Characters might experience challenges, tests, temptation, or even visions while within the influence of a dark side site. Staying focused, calling on the light side of ther force, even keeping one's own fear in check proves difficult inside the dark emanations of such a location. For his reason, characters sometimes have a harder time concentrating, using skills, defending themselves, or making attacks while bathed in the aura of a dark side site.
Dark Side sites are rated as minor sites, major sites, and extreme sites. A minor site could be the crypt of a Sith Lord or a hidden vault of Sith artifacts. A major site might take the form of a cave where a powerful darksider died in combat, the tomb of a Sith Master, or ancient ruins that once housed Sith alchemy machines. An extreme site could include a well of power on the demon moon of Dxun, the private sanctuary of a powerful Sith Lord, or the killing fields of Ruusan where great numbers of both Sith and Jedi fell in an apocalyptic conflict.
