Description
Taris, a city left in rubble after the ancient Sith bombarded it from orbit. While many of the central districts have since been rebuilt, the devastation was so extreme that much of the poorer districts or outlying sprawl is to this day, left in a state of ruin. The bones of ancient Tarisians can even be found, entombed for 2000 years in the lower levels of what once was a planet-city that rivaled Coruscant. As it always does, nature has begun to reclaim these areas and for the first time in millennia, flora can be seen on Taris again.
Also....only 8 planets remain, which require new/edited maps. Galactic Conquest is getting very, very close to completion!
Awesome map and I love the exquisite detailing, the_Farseer.
Magnificent work, as always.
What are the 8 remaining planets?
Also you could try something like this to get a more overgrown like feel: Imgur.com
Both beautiful and sad.
How is this sad?
I mean, billions of people died. Does that count?
"entombed for 2000 years"
JCW would be just about 4000 years before.
Now that my "Well actually" moment is over, Great map as always. Really love the idea for ruins as a backdrop.
Wait...kotor is 4k years BBY?
Yes 3956 BBY apparently to be exact. I just knew it was roughly 4k and then the events of TOR roughly 300 years after that.
Well...maybe someone entombed their remains 2000 years later. Yes, thats what happened...
Dying old man: "I read an old family book about the beauty of Taris though i've never seen or heard anything else about it. I'd like to rest there among my ancestors."
Getting all feelsy up in here. One last journey, to see the Promised Land, that once saved my family, many generations ago.
that map gave me chills in KOTOR, knowing what would happen ... the underground was even worse ...
Yeah, I imagine Taris in the New Republic era to be like....the Coruscant of your nightmares. A kind of Potemkin city-planet where the rich districts and levels have been rebuilt in splendor but the undercity and poor districts are surviving in the rubble of the bombardment still. Post apocalyptic mayhem where bridges span between crumbling skyscrapers and everything is makshift, built from debris.
