Lotus (city)

Founding
Lotus was built on 7 hills just outside the Warren, as a facility directed at the building of dark jedi knights, primarily of the BLC. It was founded by Hotbox of Clan of the Black Lotus, and built entirely of Tattoine style housing.

Layout
The city is shaped around a central plaza, decorated with various gardens, each of the cities public buildings forming the plaza. The buildings include City Hall, the Tactical Center, the Interrogation Center, Shopping Mall, Throne Room, and Sith Temple. At one of the city was the Shuttleport, dominated by three large Imperial Detachment Centers that formed an impenetrable wall of Imperial NPC's surrounding it. As a result, a rebel using the shuttleport was almost always instantly killed.

Policies
Lotus is a resticted city, all non-imperial players were instantly banned from travel into the city, and the BLC maintained a 24/7 watch of militia. The city became notorious for its liberal banning policy and its no-rebel rule. Neutral vistors often were mistaken for rebels and banned, some even shot and killed.

Today
In December of 05, Lotus was dismantled when the BLC left the server. Some of the public buildings still remain at the ruins of the old site. Rumor has it that Lotus was rebuilt on another planet, but so far there is no substantiated fact or location on this.
