    About the Steele Residences

    Taras and Cassandra have three other homes I've created and others I haven't. Steele Manor which is their private home in the suburb of West Zorapolis, an apartment in Zorapolis, and Zoron House which is a large palace (skyscraper) in sight of the Imperial Palace, a small manor and a townhouse on Zeilar, and an apartment in the Imperial palace on Coruscant. The Zorai Palace is located in the Citadel in the nearby city of Zorapolis. Sandy's breeding farm is on Zeilar so that it would be out of the way, but close to Zoron.

    Typical Day


    Lightsaber practice, the children against Taras, before breakfast.
    Afternoon recreation and exercise for the children. Koross works.

    Dalath and Zoron each have one moon, simalar to Earth's. They're both used mostly as commercial Starports The same for the third habitable planet in the system, Agralon

    Zeilar Sandy's mother's brother is the Grand Duke of Zeilar. Zeilar is an ag world close by. Zeilar mostly produces much of the grain eaten on Zoron and Dalath. Sandy was breeding ysalamiri on Zeilar. She put the breeding farm there so it would be out of the way, but close to Zoron.

    Torion - Torion is mostly in the high tech civilian bussiness. Taras was born on Torion and his family there owns the Steelas Microtechnologies, producing control systems and micro repair droids. Most of the family on Torion think Taras, or more correctly Sir Torin Steelas is missing or Dead. Only his father' brother Sir Lon Steelas knows that he and his sister are still alive. There is however a rumour going around that the Imperial Resident, Lady Talasa Steele is really Tarna Steelas. This rumor is of course True so the secret is leaking out. The local rebels are in denial about this because Taras' father was their leader untill he was killed by the then Imperial governer five years before ANH. The Local rebels keep hopeing Torin Steelas will return to lead them to victory. Taras' father-in-law used the stromtroopers involved in the death's of his parents and two of his three siblings to tie Taras to the darkside. He broke the one who killed his mother over her tombstone. The home movies are now in his Majesty's private collection... Only two people outside House Mathem know Taras' past. The Emperor and Iridian, maybe Darana.

    • Outside Intell Agencies

  • Alliance Intell OOC Owen Iridian is a former Imperial Naval Intell officer who was on Koross' staff. Talasa is the only Imperial who knows he's still alive. The Steele's have several pet Alliance moles they keep around for when they wish to send information into the Alliance.
  • Alliance Counter-Intell -
  • Imperial Intell The local offices of Intell, Counter-Intell and Security work for them. Koross has had decades to put his own people in those spots.
  • Imperial Counter-Intell The local offices of Intell, Counter-Intell and Security work for them. Koross has had decades to put his own people in those spots.

    The Steele Residences

    Taras and Cassandra have three other homes I've created and others I haven't. Steele Manor which is their private home in the suburb of West Zorapolis, an apartment in Zorapolis, and Zoron House which is a large palace (skyscraper) in sight of the Imperial Palace, a small manor and a townhouse on Zeilar, and an apartment in the Imperial palace on Coruscant. The Zorai Palace is located in the Citadel in the nearby city of Zorapolis. Sandy's breeding farm is on Zeilar so that it would be out of the way, but close to Zoron.

    Zoron House - A large palace (skyscraper) in sight of the Imperial Palace. The Steeles control the entire building, and those surrounding it, top to bottom.

    Steele Manor (The Compound) - Their private home in the upscale suburb of West Zorapolis, about ten miles from Zorapolis on Zoron. Architecture is English county house and the Compound covers 2 or 3 hundred acres.

    Ten adults and 15 child sith plus Tami, Alana and Berta. 28 all told live there.

    There are three main buildings on the surface in a U shape surrounding a central courtyard. These big mansions are 5 stories high to allow for all the bedrooms. The deQuillases live in one big mansion, then there is one that houses a company of troops and one that is security. The gate house is staffed with Imperial MPs dressed as private troops. Multilevel Garage, mostly underground. Small spaceport at far end of grounds controlled mostly from the main starport at Zorport. Extra mansions used by servants. Over flow. A lot of little cottages are present as well.

    There is a pool, stables and several gardens. Kieren has his own garden very far from the house to protect his Sensitive plants.

    The basements include 20 sublevels and contain all sorts of toys. There's a small small naval hospital on the third sublevel, Sandy's labs are on another sublevel. Yet another is full of flight simulators for the kids to play with, including an actual Alliance military X-Wing simulator.

    There is a state of the art communications center in the security center building. Direct connections to Imperial com net of course. Decent antenna on site but mostly signals are routed through the main center in the Citadel (Most of the main sector government buildings are here, like the Kremlin. Located in the middle of Zorapolis.)

    There is also a private subway system connecting to other important places in and near Zorapolis such as the Citadel, and Imperial Towers appartments in Zorapolis. The entrance is at the Compound and can bring in Stormtroopers in about five minutes.

    There are pop up missile and AA gun mounts defending the Compound, and a Force Dome that can be put up. One over the house and one over the whole city of West Zorapolis. Stone wall around the perimeter. Standard security systems. Motion detectors, cameras, microphones. etc.

    Taras' neighbors all have places like his, without the secret and illegal stuff.

    Apartment in the Imperial Palace on Coruscant -

    Apartment in Zorapolis -

    Zorai Palace The Zorai Palace is in the Citadel in the nearby city of Zorapolis.

    Zeilar Townhouse -

    Zeilar Breeding Farm Sandy put the Ysalamiri breeding farm on Zeilar so that it would be out of the way, but close to Zoron.

    Hunting Lodge - The hunting lodge is a large 3 story building on ___, a forested world in a clearing. There is a lean to for cleaning kills and other small buildings around the clearing.

    • Miscellaneous Notes

    Taras is rather light for a Sith. Cassandra is darker than he is. The Kids range form Kieren who is very stubburnly light to his twin sister Kerisha who is the perfect little Sith lady. The others spread out in between. On the whole they're the Liberal wing of the Sith on Zoron. They tend to be amoral, and honorable, but not sadistic. They do what they have to do but they never use overkill. Koross opposed the building of the death stars. Taras considers the destruction of Alderaan the worst mistake in Imperial history.

    Their sector is relatively lightly governed. Koross wants to make Zoron the cultural capital of the Empire and they keep Imperial Security off the universities. The center of culture on Zoron is the salons like in Paris in the 1700's. The brightest philosophers travelers, scientists, artists. The leading salon is run by the Viscountess de Quillas.

    The kids are not unprepared for flirtation and overtures. Sandy hired Zoron's leading stripper to teach the girls. She believes in covering all the skills of power. Emphasis on audiences of one of course. Taras does indulge in some one night stands. If Sandy finds out he was celibate for the whole criuse she's apt to decide he's been sick. She dosn't really understand this fidelity thing. To her a faithful husband is like a clean child. evidence of a fever.

    Taras' sister composes and performs, but she's classical. Talasa doesn't need to worry about sales.

    Tarlon really likes animals.

    Something I forgot to mention about the University of Zoron. Do you know about the colledges at Oxford and Cambridge? They're not like the colleges at American universites. An Oxford college is more like a cross between a fraternity and a dorm, only the faculty belongs to them too. A good book to understand them would be Gaudi Night by Dorothy Sayers. There are about Forty colleges. Some date back the Unversity's founding several thousand years age. Taras's kids are about to be old enough to attend. They'll go to regents collogde which is the newsest. Their Grandfather founded it. Having friends in other colleges is normal. Maybe I should have them sent to differnt colleges so they are forced to make outside friends. Large familes tend to get be ingrown.

    Lonnie's and Attiles' eldest sons will of course be required as their familys' heirs but the others lack those responsibilites.
