TOL SKORR

"You could have saved yourself, Skorr. Sometimes you… disappoint me."
―Count Dooku

Tol Skorr was a male Human Jedi Knight who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic in the final decades of the Republic Classic era. Taking the rank of General within the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, Skorr was seduced to the dark side of the Force early in the conflict and he joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems, becoming one of Count Dooku's Dark Acolytes.

Biography

Seduced by the dark side:

Discovered to be Force-sensitive at an early age, Tol Skorr was delivered to the Coruscant Jedi Temple for training in the ways of the Force by the Jedi Order. Passing through the Temple's academy, Skorr went onto to complete formal training when he succeeded in his Trials of Knighthood and was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight by the Jedi High Council. Beginning his independent studies, Skorr was sent on missions by the High Council and became a good lightsaber duelist. When the Clone Wars erupted between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems in 22 BBY, Jedi Skorr reported to Coruscant where he received the rank of General within the newly created Grand Army of the Republic. On an early mission, Jedi Skorr was sent to track a band of pirates over Korriban. His starfighter was shot down in a dogfight and the man was nearly killed by a Tuk'ata. As Skorr lay injured, he was rescued by Confederacy leader Count Dooku; to whom Skorr pledged his life.

Seduced to the dark side of the Force by Dooku, who was in fact the elusive Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Tyranus, Skorr abandoned the Jedi Order and his role in the war, becoming one of Dooku's deputies alongside fellow fallen Jedi Kadrian Sey and Sora Bulq. Constructing a red-bladed lightsaber, Skorr's new allegiance was made known to the High Council. Rivaling Sey as Dooku's most favored, the two joined together to attack Quinlan Vos, a seemingly turncoat Jedi who wished to join Dooku's army. Engaging Vos, the two Acolytes were soundly defeated and Sora Bulq escorted Vos into the Count's chambers. Shortly after Vos was admitted into Dooku's retinue of Dark Acolytes, the group traveled to Tibrin to overthrow the pro-Republic dictator and take the planet for the Confederacy. Standing by Dooku's side, Skorr watched in silence as the planet's ruler, Suribran Tu, was decapitated by the Sith Lord's lightsaber.

Dark Acolyte of the Confederacy:

Soon thereafter, the group ventured to Kiffu where Dooku confronted Sheyf Tinté Vos within her palace. When Dooku announced his intentions to depose the Sheyf, she ordered her guards to capture or kill the assassins. Skorr engaged the Guardians along with the others, slaying them one by one as they attacked in force. Competing with Sey to reach the Sheyf first, Vos leaped over both and abducted the old ruler. Slaying Sey on his way out of the chamber, Dooku ordered Skorr to remain to kill the rest of the Guardians while he found Vos. Quickly departing Kiffu once the Sheyf was murdered, Dooku sent Skorr and Vos on a mission to Korriban to fuel the competition between the two. Ordered to retrieve the Holocron of Heresies, the ancient holocron of Darth Andeddu, the pair set out to scour the tombs of the ancient Sith Lords. Lying in wait as Vos retrieved the artifact, Skorr challenged the Kiffar for possession of the ancient data crystal. Dueling briefly with Vos, Skorr came face-to-face once more with the Tuk'ata that had scarred his face when he first crashed on Korriban. Escaping together, Skorr fell short as he leaped for Dooku's shuttle; however the Count rescued him with the Force. Journeying to Coruscant, Skorr waited with Dooku in The Works district as Vos assassinated Senator Viento on behalf of the Confederacy. After receiving Vos' report, Dooku and Skorr departed.

Hunting Quinlan Vos:

Fourteen months later, Dooku was displeased with Vos' repeated failures and assigned Skorr to partner with Sith assassin Asajj Ventress to kill the Kiffar Dark Acolyte. Tracking Vos, the pair managed to trap him aboard the ruined Intergalactic Zoological Society's ship, the Titavian IV and pitted him against several deadly droids. When Vos managed to activate his beacon transceiver, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi located the ship and helped Vos counter the droids. When Ventress' Morp droids led the two Jedi into Skorr's trap, the Nightsister attacked Kenobi while Skorr beat Vos in hand to hand combat. Distracted by a rancor released by Kenobi, the Jedi were able to flee to the hangar deck where Vos boarded the Skorp-Ion. As Ventress and Kenobi fought, Skorr piloted a starfighter to chase Vos but was ultimately gunned down inside the hangar. Surviving the wreck, Ventress and Skorr regrouped as the Jedi escaped. When General Grievous answered the Dark Jedi's distress beacon, Ventress ordered Skorr to go with the cyborg and report to Dooku while she dealt with unfinished business between Kenobi and Vos.

Final battle and death:

Near the end of the war, Skorr accompanied Dooku to the world of Saleucami to oversee the development of a Morgukai Shadow Army by the Anzat Rath Kelkko. As the Confederacy began to lay siege to the planet, Skorr went into the seedy regions of the world to meet with Khaleen Hentz, Vos' lover. Threatening her by strangling her with the Force briefly, Skorr attempted to create a schism between Hentz and Vos, in order to cause his long time rival to make mistakes. Leading Morgukai in battle against the Republic, Skorr encountered Vos on the battlefield and engaged him, leading him deep into a cave. Once out of sight from the battling armies, the two disengaged each other and met with Dooku and Bulq in the underground labs of the Anzati. While Dooku assigned Vos to hunt down Jedi Master Tholme who had successfully sabotaged parts of the Morgukai project, Skorr continued his role as leader of the armies on the surface. Operating under the call name Red Tide, Skorr was instrumental in giving the all clear to Master Bulq to continue with his plan to assassinate Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis, leader of the Republic's war effort on the planet. As Bulq murdered Rancisis, Skorr engaged Jedi K'Kruhk, Sian Jeisel, and A'Sharad Hett in battle to arouse suspicion that Vos had killed the Thisspiasian Jedi Master.

As the battle continued, Vos reported to Dooku the death of Tholme, which Vos believed he had caused. Dooku decided to test Vos' allegiance once more by asking him to kill Khaleen Hentz, who Skorr had recovered from the surface and dragged down into the underground facility. Refusing to kill the woman, Vos disavowed any feigned allegiance to Dooku and attacked Bulq, Skorr, and the Morgukai guards. Joined by Tholme, who indeed had survived the early duel with Vos, the Kiffar Jedi engaged Skorr one-on-one and battled each other into a chamber overlooking a lava pit. As Skorr taunted Vos and his belief in the so-called "Second Sith," a being Skorr claimed Dooku made up to control Vos, the Jedi became more and more enraged, knocking the lightsaber out of Skorr's hand. As Skorr stood defeated on the cliff reaching over the lava pit, Vos shoved the Dark Acolyte over the edge, where he plummeted to his death.

Personality and traits:

While trained as a Jedi, Tol Skorr was quick to forsake his oaths to the Jedi Order when Count Dooku rescued him from Korriban early during the Clone Wars. Displaying an extreme sense of loyalty to the Count, Skorr was willing to unquestionably follow the Sith Lord's orders without hesitation. Constantly plying for Dooku's affection, Skorr eagerly played into Dooku's plot to keep his acolytes fighting each other; secretly pitting Skorr against first Kadrian Sey, then Quinlan Vos.

Powers and abilities:

Trained as a Jedi Knight, Tol Skorr demonstrated all of the Force techniques and skills with a lightsaber that all Jedi would have possessed. Having fallen to the dark side, Skorr had been taught certain forbidden techniques by Count Dooku, including a form of telekinesis known as a Force Choke. While a competent lightsaber duelist, Skorr was significantly less skilled than former Jedi lightsaber instructor Sora Bulq, or the Sith assassin Asajj Ventress. Skorr was able to survive two encounters with a Tuk'ata, an impressive feat, even for a trained Force-sensitive.

While trained to pilot basic craft and starfighters, Skorr habitually showed weakness as a pilot, getting shot down over Korriban and in the hangar of the Titavian IV by pirates and Quinlan Vos respectively.

THE 10 DRUNKEST CITIES IN MICHIGAN

It’s not always the big cities and college towns that are getting ‘Michigan Drunk’ the most.

This article is an opinion based on facts and is meant as infotainment. Don’t freak out.

Is there anything wrong with being called the drunkest city in your state? Especially in Michigan, where you guys are …really good at your alcohol consumption.

I mean 25% of you have admitted to binge drinking at least once in the last month, according to CBS.
Hey, we’re not judging. Drinking is fun. We’re just making observations.

So, how do you decide which city drinks the most? By the number of available places to buy booze, and by how often people are talking about drinking, that’s how.

Plus, we thought why not add in a stereotype? Cause, you know, drinking is one reason for divorce, and something that divorced people do a lot of.

Using that criteria, it’s not hard to scrape the internet, run some scientific data on where the biggest partiers might live in Michigan, and then put out a list.

You’re probably thinking ‘Show me the proof!” The data never lies, does it?

So, hold our beers and watch this. After analyzing all cities with a decent amount of people in them, we came up with this list as The Drunkest Cities in Michigan:

1. Traverse City
2. Mount Clemens
3. Ferndale
4. Muskegon
5. Benton Harbor
6. Kalamazoo
7. Escanaba
8. Flint
9. Grand Haven
10. Bay City

Many of these are mid sized cities in Michigan with many bars in town or nearby, where there’s a higher than average divorce rate. Studies have indicated that when one or both partners in a marriage are alcoholics, that couple is three times more likely to divorce.

Read on below to see where your town ranked.

What drunken criteria did we use?

In order to rank the drunkest cities in Michigan, we had to determine what criteria defines someone who drinks a lot.

We threw a lot of criteria at this one in order to get the best, most complete results possible. Using Yelp and Sperling’s Best Places, this is the criteria we used:

• Number of bars and pubs per capita
• Number of wineries per capita
• Number of liquor stores per capita
• Each city’s drunk related tweets within the last week
• Each city’s divorce rate

For geo-located tweets, we measured the following raw number of tweets that came from within a city’s general area: #Drunk, #Party, #Beer, #Wine and #Cocktails

Note: For the sake of getting reliable numbers, we counted places within a city’s border, as well as within a short driving distance.

1. Traverse City

The gang at Union Street Station, Traverse City, MI. From their Facebook page

Population: 14,674
Divorce rate: 16%
Bars per capita: 1st in the state
Liquor stores per capita: 1st

Hot damn, Traverse City, you are tore up from the floor up! We’re impressed. Based on the data, it sounds like you are all having a really, really good time.

Of course, when you have the most bars per capita, the most liquor stores per capita, and the 4th highest divorce rate in the state, what else are you gonna do here?

Plus, there are 12 breweries in TC.

And, it sounds like you guys are talking about drinking a lot, too. We counted 27 drunk related tweets in the last week. This was a good one:

“My parents tricked me into going to bar with them so they could get me drunk and tell me they might be moving to Traverse City.”

Maybe you should go with them!

2. Mount Clemens

The gang at Your Mothers, Mount Clemens, MI. From their Facebook page

Population: 16,314
Divorce rate: 16%
Bars per capita: 7th in the state
Liquor stores per capita: 8th in the state

You’re probably thinking, ‘Mount Where?” But, yes, Michiganders, this under the radar place is drinking a lot more than you are.

Where is Mount Clemens? It’s a quiet, blue collar suburb about 3 beers north of Detroit. But we’re pretty sure that you folks in Mount Clemens probably know all the back roads, right (wink, wink?)

Here, they have the 3rd highest divorce rate in the state. Can you blame them? They’re out drinking all the time. When do they have time time to work on their relationship?

3. Ferndale

Orchid, Ferndale, MI. Google Maps.

Population: 19,900
Divorce rate: 12.5%
Bars per capita: 3rd
Liquor stores per capita: 4th in Michigan

Ferndale is just about right next door to Mount Clemens. In fact, they probably bump into one another at the bars all the time. But it sounds like Ferndale should give Mount Clemens some relationship advice, since they have a much lower divorce rate.

Here in Ferndale, there are lots of bars and liquor stores within a small area. Most of the boozy behavior takes place along 9 Mile Road. Here, there are a large number of dance clubs, bars and restaurants,
If you live in the greater Detroit area, and you haven’t popped into Ferndale, you’ve been missing out on some fun apparently.

4. Muskegon

Lakeshore Tavern, Muskegon, MI. Google Maps

Population: 38,401
Divorce rate: 18%
Bars per capita: 14th in MI
Liquor stores per capita: 17th

Wow, Muskegon couples. Almost 1 in 5 of you has already made it to splitsville. We’re not blaming you, with all of the opportunities to drink there.

Was it the drinking that drove away your spouse, or are you frolicking at the bar scene because you’re single and alone? Either way, there are probably some really interesting moments that take place around midnight in Muskegon area bars.

5. Benton Harbor

Babe’s Lounge, Benton Harbor, MI. From their Facebook page

Population: 10,038
Divorce rate: 13%
Bars per capita: 7th in the state
Liquor stores per capita: 6th

Christ, Benton Harbor, you’re a mess. You’re broke, many of you are out of work, and you’re hitting the bottle? We get it; there isn’t a lot to do down there, especially during the winter months.

Perhaps you need to check out a few of the art galleries in town. They do have free wine, sometimes.
Benton Harbor has the 7th highest number of bars in town, and the 6th most liquor stores. You know your town is a drinkin’ town when the city’s website has a bunch of bars listed on its Places of Interest page.

6. Kalamazoo

Old Burdick’s, Kalamazoo, MI. Google Maps

Population: 74,262
Divorce rate: 11.4%
Bars per capita: 11h in MI
Liquor stores per capita: 12th

We’re impressed, Kalamazoo. Despite all of the drinking that you do, you’re really keeping it together, relationship wise. You have the lowest divorce rate on this list. Maybe that’s because a larger percentage of your population are college students.

There are 8 breweries in Kalamazoo, and a high number of bars and liquor stores.

7. Escanaba

Liquor Store, Escanaba, MI. Google Maps

Population: 12,616
Divorce rate: 15.5%
Bars per capita: 15th in MI
Liquor stores per capita: 18th in the state

We’re pretty sure you guys expected to see a lot more U.P. cities on this list. Because everyone knows that the Yoopers can pretty much drink anyone under the table. But the the fact is, that, according to the data, there aren’t as many bars and liquor stores up here as there are down state.

But we get it. You guys make up for it in a big way. We’ve heard stories about you guys pulling kegs home on sleds in January. Then you all like to get on your roof and jump off into the 10 foot drifts.
Actually, that sounds like fun.

There were only a few drunk related tweets in this area, but this one is a gem:
“There is drunk and then there is escanaba drunk.”

8. Flint

The Wooden Keg, Flint, MI. Google Maps

Population: 102,434
Divorce rate: 15%
Bars per capita: 21st in Michigan
Liquor stores per capita: 5th

While you’re waiting to get a decent job, you might as well spend time in the bars in Flint. Actually, inside of a bar in Flint might be a lot safer than wondering around on the streets at night.
Flint led the state in the number of drunk related tweets. Most were kinda’ sad – people talking about drunk drivers with kids in the car – or people talking about house parties.

9. Grand Haven

The Kirby House, Grand Haven, MI. Google Maps

Population: 10,412
Divorce rate: 14.6%
Bars per capita: 5th in the state
Liquor stores per capita: 35th

If you’ve ever been to Grand Haven, the numbers probably won’t surprise you. There are quote a few bars and restaurants on the main drag. And, since it’s more of a quiet, lakeside town, there aren’t very many liquor stores.

The number of people that hit the Big D is really high in Grand Haven; nearly 1 in 6 couples have split up here.

If you’re one of them, things will get better. Heck, head on down to the tavern right now. The next Mrs. You is probably sitting at the end of the bar waiting for you to come talk to her.

Here’s to that!

10. Bay City

Bemo’s Bar, Bay City, MI. Google Maps

Population: 34,392
Divorce rate: 13.4%
Liquor stores per capita: 22nd in MI
Bars per capita: 11th

Where in the world is Bay City? It’s just about far enough north of Saginaw that you could probably pound your drink before you got home.

Bay City’s ‘About Our City’ official webpage is http://www.downtownbaycity.com/WineWalk.htm. So they obviously want you to come to Bay City and drink a lot of wine. They’re not hiding it at all.
There are three breweries in Bay City, and a number of places to get hammered here. If you know someone in Bay City, tag them in this post. Odds are they’ll check Facebook as soon as their hangover wears off.

There You Have It
If you’re measuring the locations in Michigan where there are a high number of divorced people, bars and liquor stores, and where people are talking about drinking the most often, this is an accurate list.
And while you might think the larger cities and college towns are ‘more drunk’ than these places, when you measure the percentage of people who have access to alcohol, and who are separated, it makes sense. Cause, the data never lies, does it?

If you’re curious enough, here are the least drunk places in Michigan. Or the most sober, if you will:

1. Forest Hills (Pop. 25,867)
2. East Grand Rapids (Pop. 10,694)
3. Jenison (Pop. 16,538)
4. Haslett (Pop. 19,220)
5. Allendale (Pop. 17,579)

THE TEN WORST PLACES TO LIVE IN MICHIGAN

Thrillist just ranked Michigan as the best state in the nation, which should really come as no surprise to anyone. With its four legitimate seasons, natural wonders, regional diversity and seemingly endless waterfront, it’s no wonder that Michigan would top all 49 of the lesser states on any list you might want to throw together.
All the same, anyone familiar with Michigan knows there are places that need some real TLC right now. And it’s not just Detroit. In fact, there are cities that might need a hug even more than Detroit. Here are the 10 cities in the Great Lakes State who have it a little rough right now.

1. Flint
2. Beecher
3. Escanaba
4. Buena Vista
5. Lapeer
6. Highland Park
7. Greenville
8. Saginaw
9. Pontiac
10. Muskegon

How we determined which cities have the most issues in Michigan

To figure out cities that are in need of some attention, we rely on a complex algorithm that considers only the kinds of things people like, and then it tabulates what cities have the least amount of those things. We don’t think it’s a stretch to assume that people like the following things:

• Good schools
• Lots of jobs
• Low crime
• High incomes
• Solid home prices
• Lots of things to do

Then, the algorithm generates multiple lists of the cities that are the worst in all of these categories. After a crunching of the numbers, a list of all of the cities magically appears listing them from worst to best.

How we crunched the numbers

We threw a lot of criteria at this one in order to get the best, most complete results possible. Using FBI crime data, the government census, Bureau of Labor Statistics and Sperling’s Best Places, this is the criteria we used:

• Population Density (The lower the worse)
• Highest Unemployment Rates
• Adjusted Median Income (Median income adjusted for the cost of living)
• High Housing Vacancy Rate
• Education (Low expenditures per student and high Student Teacher Ratio)
• Long Commute Times
• High Crime
• The Worst Weather

Read on below to learn more about which Michigan residents need some hugs. For this list, we used the 177 cities that qualified for our rankings due to both their population sizes and the way in which their governments are organized.
This list is a scientific analysis based on real data and is completely unbiased.

1. Flint

Population: 103,263
Unemployment rate: 4
Median income: $36,081
Crime index: 163.4
Flint needs some tough love.
Years ago, someone told me the sun never shines in Flint. That’s not true, of course, but you can understand why she might say that when you analyze certain facts about Flint. Of the 176 cities considered in this ranking, Flint had the least to be proud of across the board.
Not only does Flint have Michigan’s lowest home value rank, but it also had the fourth and fifth highest rankings in unemployment and crime respectively. Statistics like that will certainly make the sun shine a bit dimmer, and it will win you the title of “Worst City in Michigan.”
If you know anyone in Flint, tag them on Facebook and tell them you love them. They can probably use it right about now.

2. Beecher

Source: Wikipedia

Population: 10,963
Unemployment rate: 46
Median income: $35,425
Crime index: 133.0
It is sadly fitting how the most famous event ever to occur in Beecher was a tornado that killed 116 people. Since then, it seems like the Beecher name has only ever been associated with awful news.
In fact, the most newsmaking episode to emerge from Beecher in recent years was the fight to recall board members who took a $36,000 trip to San Diego at the taxpayers’ expense. Rather than taking trips, their time would have been better served handling Beecher’s crime, student-teacher ratio, adjusted income and home value ranks, which are all in the bottom sixth of all Michigan cities. This is the kind of city mismanagement that will put your hometown on a list of Michigan’s worst cities.
Beecher isn’t an actual city, it’s what the state refers to as a census designated place. Even more reason to send folks in Beecher some love.

3. Escanaba

Source: Flickr user msprague

Population: 12,609
Unemployment rate: 8.7%
Median income: $33,349
Crime index: 121.2
Escanaba probably shouldn’t even be on this list, because it’s a great community with a lot going on. Even so, Escanaba’s rankings do indicate that perhaps they could use a hug right about now.
Although it ranks in the bottom half of our rankings in crime and education, Escanaba stands out as being the only Upper Peninsula city in our top ten. However, if you’re a huge fan of living on the lake, and like the experience of living in the U.P., you can do worse than in Escanaba.
Future job growth is also expected to grow to 36% in coming years here, too. (Hugs).

4. Buena Vista

Source: Flickr user snre

Population: 6,498
Unemployment rate: 63
Median income: $33,844
Crime index: 137.7
If it seems unthinkable for the small suburb of a major crime-infested city to somehow be worse off than the large city, think again. Although Saginaw has long been associated with high crime and high unemployment, life for the nearly 7,000 residents of Buena Vista is actually worse according to our statistics.
Buena Vista ranks in the bottom half of every major category, and the city’s home values are the sixth lowest in Michigan. Couple that with crime and income ranks in the bottom eighth of all Michigan cities, and you’ll understand exactly how Buena Vista could be a worse place to live than Saginaw. #SendBuenaVistaLove

5. Lapeer

Source: Google

Population: 8,899
Unemployment rate: 19
Median income: $39,293
Crime index: 109.1
Lapeer is the birthplace of Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, and it seems sadly appropriate that such one of the smallest cities on this list was able to produce one of the worst human beings on earth. The folks up here could use some kind thoughts right about now.
Although it has the highest home values of any city on this list, it still ranks in Michigan’s bottom third in crime, and it’s firmly in the state’s bottom fifth in income, education and unemployment. Further contributing to Lapeer’s ranking among the dregs of the state is the fact that it spends less money on its students that all but four cities in Michigan.

6. Highland Park

Source: Flickr user aduthie

Population: 11,971
Unemployment rate: 1
Median income: $26,361
Crime index: 165.3
Highland Park is entirely surrounded by Detroit, and it is so bad that Detroit’s government won’t even consider absorbing Highland Park into the larger city due to the fact that all of Detroit’s unflattering crime and unemployment statistics would instantly be made worse. If you live in Detroit and you’re passing through Highland Park, give a friendly wave and a smile. You need each other’s support right about now.
Highland Park ranks first in all of Michigan in unemployment, third in overall crime, second from the bottom in ideal student-teacher ratios in classrooms, and it has the fourth worst average income level in the state. In fact, the only thing saving Highland Park from ranking as the worst overall city in Michigan is the fact that it easily ranks in the state’s top third in money spent per student, making its terrible rankings in the other areas all the more baffling.

7. Greenville

Source: Wikipedia

Population: 8,465
Unemployment rate: 36
Median income: $34,156
Crime index: 124.1
Greenville may seem like a surprise entry on this list considering its natural features, Danish festival and community theater. However, having several major factories and businesses either close or skip town will take its toll on any city.
Last year, Greenville’s incomes ranked just shy of Michigan’s basement, and its crime rate is in the state’s top twenty percent. In all other major categories we considered, Greenville ranked squarely in the state’s bottom half. No matter how great your festivals are, statistics like these will land you among cities in Michigan that have some issues to address.

8. Saginaw

Source: Flickr user spiesteleviv

Population: 51,776
Unemployment rate: 5
Median income: $36,392
Crime index: 151.1
When Flint made its appearance earlier on this list, you probably suspected its Mid-Michigan partner wouldn’t be far behind. When the region was hammered years ago by the decline of U.S. manufacturing, Flint and Saginaw bore the brunt of the blow. Not much has changed since then.
Saginaw landed in the bottom in all of the areas where cities prefer to be at the top, and that includes the fifth worst unemployment rank, the eighth worst crime rank, and home values in the state’s bottom ten percent. Sadly, none of this helps the perception that Saginaw is one of Michigan’s worst cities. #SendSaginawHugs

9. Pontiac

Source: Flickr user davehogg

Population: 60,105
Unemployment rate: 2
Median income: $37,435
Crime index: 144.1
There would be a temptation to put Pontiac on this list simply because the Silverdome, with its deflated roof and gutted interior, is one of the biggest eyesores in the state. It’s hard to think of it as the sight where 93,000 fans once gathered to watch Wrestlemania III.
An eyesore that definitely landed Pontiac on this list of worst cities is the city’s unemployment rank, which was second from the bottom, incomes and home values in Michigan’s lowest 20 percent, and a crime rate in the top 20 percent. With statistics like that, we couldn’t keep Pontiac off this list even if the Silverdome’s ruins were made of actual silver.
The people of Pontiac are undoubtedly trying to pull themselves up from their bootstraps and could use a kind thought right about now.

10. Muskegon

Source: Flickr user ericrichardson

Population: 38,061
Unemployment rate: 18
Median income: $32,253
Crime index: 147.1
Any city that could produce someone like Iggy Pop would be expected to be a little on the rough side, and Muskegon doesn’t disappoint in that regard, although it does disappoint its residents.
Incomes in Muskegon rank the seventh lowest in Michigan, its crime rate and student-teacher ranks are both in the state’s bottom ten percent, and its unemployment and home values are in the bottom 20 percent. Even though Muskegon spends more money per student than almost any other city in the state, this is the one city in Michigan where you have to ask whether holding lakefront property is worth it.
So, that’s the list. Granted, Michigan is still the reigning best state in the country, and you can be proud to dwell in Michigan no matter where you live. Even if you live in Flint, things could be a lot worse; you COULD be living in Ohio.

"Welcome to Dromund Kaas, where freedom goes to die, and legends are forced on the galaxy."
―Vette, upon exiting Dromund Kaas Spaceport

Dromund Kaas was the third planet in the Dromund system, a star system in the Sith Worlds region of the Outer Rim Territories's Esstran sector. Originally a colony of the Sith Empire, its location was lost by the time of the Great Hyperspace War with the Galactic Republic, but the Sith Emperor led his people on a twenty-year odyssey that ended with the rediscovery of Dromund Kaas in 4980 BBY. The Emperor and the remnants of the shattered Sith society reconstituted the Sith Empire with Dromund Kaas as its capital, taming the planet's savage jungles and building up their Empire's strength from the skyscrapers of Kaas City. Dromund Kaas remained safe from Republic reprisal when the Empire launched the Great Galactic War in 3681 BBY, though a Republic invasion fleet assaulted the Imperial capital in 3641 BBY during the Galactic War with the Empire while a Jedi Knight fought and defeated the Emperor in personal combat.

The reconstituted Empire eventually dissolved before 2000 BBY, and Dromund Kaas' jungles gave way to murky swamps over the centuries as the planet's location once again fell into obscurity. A major battle of the New Sith Wars was fought on Dromund Kaas, and several decades later the rogue Sith Lord Darth Millennial established the Dark Force religion on Dromund Kaas after he rejected the Rule of Two and abandoned the Order of the Sith Lords. The Prophets of the Dark Side who followed Millennial's religion ruled Dromund Kaas for almost a thousand years before they incurred the wrath of Darth Sidious, causing the Prophets to abandon the planet for Bosthirda. Despite its relative obscurity, the planet became embroiled in the galactic conflict known as the Clone Wars, but the powerful influence of the dark side of the Force on Dromund Kaas continued to draw both Jedi and Sith to the planet over the next several decades.

Description:

Dromund Kaas was the third planet of the Dromund system, a star system located in the Sith Worlds—a region of the Outer Rim Territories's Esstran sector that was enclosed in the nebula known as the Stygian Caldera. Dromund Kaas had three moons and orbited the star Dromund, and it lay along the Kamat Krote hyperspace route between the planets Jaguada and Bosthirda. By the time of the Great Hyperspace War with the Galactic Republic, Dromund Kaas was largely covered by jungles and oceans. When the survivors of the old Sith Empire arrived on the planet in 4980 BBY, they were forced to tame the seemingly endless jungles and fend off the planet's violent predators in order to establish their society, and the planet remained largely jungles, oceans, and swamps other than the metropolis of Kaas City and other locations on the surface. Dromund Kaas' atmosphere was also heavily charged with electricity to the point that lightning was a near-constant sight in the almost perpetually clouded sky; a result of the Sith Emperor's experiments in arcane and forbidden uses of the dark side of the Force.

In the centuries after the Galactic War between the Empire and the Republic, the planet's jungles were largely overtaken by swamps and marshes, submerging most of the planet's solid ground. The breathable atmosphere became more stable, though it remained a wet and humid world with a varying climate. Massive, dark-wooded trees grew in the swampy water, forming canyon-like groupings of foliage that were covered in vines and infested with the lizard-like ysalamiri creatures. The planet was shrouded in a pervasive miasma of dark side energy, and locations such as the Dark Temple and the Dark Force Temple were the sites of intensely strong Force nexuses.

History:

Capital of the Sith Empire:

"Dromund Kaas is the Imperial Capital. Legions of Sith call it home. The remaining population is almost entirely Imperial military."
―Lord Scourge

Dromund Kaas was originally a colony of the Sith Empire, but its location was lost several centuries before 5000 BBY. The rediscovery of Dromund Kaas began in the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace War, when the Sith Lord Vitiate ordered his researchers and historians to locate a safe haven for the people of the shattered Empire. Once they succeeded in rediscovering Dromund Kaas' location, Vitiate summoned all of the remaining Sith Lords to his homeworld of Nathema and mentally enslaved them, using their strength to perform a dark side ritual that stripped the life from Nathema and made him immortal. Vitiate then gathered the remaining people of the Sith Empire and embarked on a twenty-year wandering journey that finally ended in 4980 BBY with the "rediscovery" of Dromund Kaas thanks to Vitiate's advice.

Upon arriving on the surface of Dromund Kaas, Vitiate declared a reconstituted Empire with himself at the head that would one day return and take revenge upon the Republic. Under the guidance of the newly-created Dark Council, a group of twelve Dark Lords of the Sith who each assumed leadership over an aspect of the Empire, the new Empire gradually tamed their new homeworld and built their strength. Odile Vaiken, the Human who founded the new Imperial Military, led a military campaign into the wild jungle in order to clear the wilderness and make way for the Empire's capital, Kaas City. Vaiken himself slew a terentatek on the future site of the Imperial Citadel, the building that would house the headquarters of the new Sith Order and the Empire's Ministries of War, Intelligence, and Logistics. From Dromund Kaas, the Empire gradually expanded their domain.

KORRIBAN, PART 7

Korriban

Part VII

Fauna

Due to the planet's harsh terrain, and the power of the dark side, Korriban's native fauna was both vicious and cunning, such as the fierce terentateks. The bat-like shyracks lived in great numbers in caves on the planet. Tuk'ata, sometimes called Sith hounds were also fairly common, particularly in the Valley of the Dark Lords. Dark side dragons, or Hssiss, could be found on Korriban, though as semi-aquatic creatures, they were quite rare. Wraids were also found on Korriban. There is evidence that, at one point, the planet was home to an ape or primate-like species, although by the time of Naga Sadow the species was long extinct. Though it is possible that the primate-like species was somehow connected to the Sith species, no conclusive link between this species and the Sith species was known. The highly venomous pelko bug was an insect native to the planet—its venom had a potent numbing effect and was used in Sith training sabers by the Brotherhood of Darkness during the end of the New Sith War. By the time of the Cold War, K'lor'slugs could also be found on Korriban.

Locations:

Valley of the Dark Lords

The Valley of the Dark Lords was a valley and burial ground of Korriban's Sith Lords. Originally constructed by the planet's natives as a burial ground for their kings; the Exiles of the Jedi Order who came to be known as the Dark Lord of the Sith added their own tombs to the Valley. Along with several prominent tombs, the Valley was home to the ancient Sith Great Temple and Lord Khreusis's Stronghold which would loom over the Valley for several millennia.

The Sith Academy

The Sith Academy was a facility in use since the Jedi Civil War, dedicated to training Force sensitives in the ways of the Sith, and running archaeological projects in the Valley of the Dark Lords.

Korriban's Arrival Port

The Korriban Arrival Port was the main spaceport of Korriban during the Cold War. It was near the Academy and the Valley of the Dark Lords and was mostly used for shuttles to drop potential acolytes who were then taken to the Academy. There, their respective training overseers would meet and brief them on the basics of Sith training.

The Valley of Glog

The Valley of Golg was one of many burial valleys constructed on Korriban by the ancient Sith Empire. It was located near the planet's equator.

Behind the scenes

"Without Adas' unifying influence, wars once again raged for rule of the Sith people, with the reigning combatants arrogantly claiming the title of Sith'ari, and eventually forcing a relocation of the Sith capitol to the planet Ziost. Eventually, almost two-dozen millennia after Adas' death, a proper successor to Adas seemed to come at last. Known in Republic space as the Exiles, traitorous Jedi defeated in a galactic war called the Hundred-Year Darkness arrived on Korriban and cowed the Sith people with their astounding Force abilities, lightsabers, and superior technology."

KORRIBAN part 5 & 6

Korriban

Part V

History

New Sith Wars:

"Korriban is the ancestral home of the Sith. It is a place of great power; the dark side lives and breathes in the very core of this world."
―Qordis to Darth Bane

After capturing the planet from the Republic in a brutal battle, the New Sith Empire and the subsequent Brotherhood of Darkness both occupied Korriban, with the latter known to have operated a Sith Academy on the planet. A young Darth Bane studied there before becoming a Sith Lord. The apprentices that trained there were the ones that were to join the Brotherhood of Darkness, thereby the most powerful Sith being trained in the galaxy.

Clone Wars and the Galactic Empire:

In 24 BBY, a Sith Cultist by the name of Granta Omega tried to contact the remaining Sith Lord (or lords) in the galaxy. Although he did meet with the unknown Sith, Omega was killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi, though not before Omega killed Darra Thel-Tanis.

The world remained desolate until it was taken over by the Commerce Guild just prior to the Clone Wars, c. 24 BBY. Other than Guild employees, the planet was mostly inhabited by those who were unfortunate enough to end up on Korriban and have no way offworld. Eeth Koth led a Republic force to Korriban during the early stages of the war, and the battle cost the lives of many Clone troopers.

At some point in the Clone Wars, fallen Jedi Quinlan Vos and Tol Skorr were racing to find Darth Andeddu's holocron for Count Dooku. Vos won by allowing a Tuk'ata to scare Skorr off. As a reward, Count Dooku gave Andeddu's lightsaber crystal to Vos.

At some point near the end of the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Yoda was sent on a mission to Korriban, now alternatively known as Moraband, by the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn to finish the work he had started and discover the purpose of life. While there, the dark side was used by Sith Lords Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus to try and "break" Yoda and make the Grand Master turn to the dark side. They placed in front of him many visions, among them a demonic version of himself, symbiotic illusions of Order 66, the deaths of Jedi Mace Windu and Ahsoka Tano, the actual ghost of Darth Bane, and a cliffhanger duel with the two Sith alongside Anakin Skywalker. Although the experience was harrowing for him, Yoda was able to go to all that was laid out in front of him.

After the Clone Wars and the Great Jedi Purge, former Jedi turned bounty hunter, A'Sharad Hett was pursuing his bounty Resk on Korriban. After beheading him, Hett was called by the spirit of the ancient Sith Lord, XoXaan, who taught him the secrets of the ancient Sith.

Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Palpatine, now Emperor of the Galactic Empire and the ruling Dark Lord of the Sith, visited the tombs of the ancient Sith Lords on Korriban that were still haunted by the ghosts of the long deceased Sith. He wanted to gain further knowledge of the dark side, but his demands only enraged the mummified Sith. Wounded and cowed, he was rescued by Jeng Droga and had to recover from the assault in a bacta tank on Imperial Center.

During this time, the Zann Consortium had the option of setting up operations on the planet for knowledge. During a pilgrimage to Korriban shortly before the Battle of Endor, Emperor Palpatine suffered an ambush from the Rebel Alliance's Renegade Squadron. After trapping him in one of the tombs temporarily, and suffering casualties in doing so, the Squadron were able to infiltrate his landing craft and obtain information about the second Death Star, information that would bring about the tyrant's fall.

A tomb intended for Darth Vader that, after his defection from the Sith before his death, was offered by the Sith spirits to Darth Sidious, was presumably erected sometime during this period. Another burial chamber was built for Naga Sadow thousands of years ago but was never occupied because Sadow died offworld.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Korriban

Part VI

History

New Republic:

Kyle: "So we're going to Korriban, huh? Not exactly a vacation spot."
Jaden: "Korriban? Never heard of it."
Kyle: "It's the burial place of a whole bunch of Sith Lords."
―Kyle Katarn and Jaden Korr on Yavin 4

At 11 ABY, Palpatine visited the planet once again for the last time, in order to restore his decaying clone body. He conferred with the Sith spirits, who discouraged his decision to try and save his life, offering him a seat among their mummified remains, the tomb-throne reserved for Vader (the Emperor presumably had no tomb prepared for himself on Korriban because he did not intend to ever die).

Darth Sidious insisted that he should live, and the deceased Dark Lords informed him that, although his last body could not be saved, he could survive by using fresh Jedi blood, possessing the newborn Anakin Solo. He did not succeed in his attempt to do so, and lost his final clone body on Onderon shortly after.

Later, in 14 ABY a cult known as the Disciples of Ragnos arrived on Korriban under the leadership of the Dark Jedi Tavion Axmis of the Empire Reborn, hoping to resurrect the ancient Sith Lord Marka Ragnos. However, their plans were being slowly uncovered by several Jedi, most notably by Luke Skywalker, Kyle Katarn, and his two students: Jaden Korr and Rosh Penin. Eventually, the trails led the Jedi to Korriban. One of the greatest Jedi battles of the time, the Battle of Korriban concluded when Jaden Korr defeated Marka Ragnos's spirit in Tavion's body. Following Axmis' defeat, Imperial support was withdrawn and the Disciples crumbled.

Years later, Hett finally emerged from his long tutelage under XoXaan, intent on defeating Sidious and Vader, only to learn that they had been defeated and dead. Realizing he went through all that for nothing, he escaped into the Unknown Regions, determined to lose himself, where he met the Yuuzhan Vong.

The New Jedi Order also revisited the planet on other occasions. At one time, Luke Skywalker sent some Jedi Academy researchers to Korriban, where they discovered the logs of the Jynni's Virtue. The time codes on the log indicated it was recorded just before the Battle of Yavin, however they were found sealed in a 7,000 year old tomb.

Rule of the One Sith:

Korriban was apparently untouched by the Yuuzhan Vong War, as Darth Krayt and his One Sith used it as their headquarters starting around 30 ABY. Until 127 ABY, they remained relatively hidden, acting behind the shadows like Palpatine did.

In 40 ABY Alema Rar went to Korriban to train under the Sith in order to help Darth Caedus focus himself after the death of Lumiya. Alema Rar met the Sith where after some persuasion was allowed to stay for a little while. Alema trained there and received Darth Vectivus's holocron filled with useless data to give to Jacen. They did not believe Jacen was essential to their plan and ultimately believed he would fail as he was not strong enough. Alema disagreed and believed these Sith were hiding while Caedus, a true Sith, took hold of the galaxy. The next year, Kell Douro, an Anzat spy working for the One Sith, traveled to Korriban and met up with Darth Wyyrlok.

Some years before 44 ABY, Luke Skywalker had all navigation data about Korriban banned from Jedi computers, and had asked the Galactic Alliance to do the same. Despite this, enough information was found in ancient, locked-up records, allowing Luke, Ben Skywalker, Jaina Solo, and Vestara Khai to get to Korriban while looking for the Lost Tribe of the Sith.

In 137 ABY, Krayt returned to Korriban to demand to the ancient Sith Lords, Darth Nihilus, Darth Andeddu and Darth Bane to give him the teachings to heal him or at least slow down the Vong growths on his body, but the ghosts refused to give him aid. Their magic caused the Vong armor he wore to make him into a creature much like his namesake. The current Dark Lord refused to accept his destiny and dispelled the magic.

Months later, when Krayt was defeated on Had Abbadon and assassinated by Darth Wyyrlok, his body was entombed within the ancient Temple of XoXaan, kept in a stasis chamber so that the other Sith wouldn't suspect their master's demise. At the same time, Marasiah Fel was abducted and taken prisoner at the planet and Darth Maladi sent Darth Nihl to the planet to verify if Darth Krayt was still alive or if he was dead. The two Sith Lords had become disillusioned with Darth Wyyrlok's handling of the Order and the Empire.
Following the final death of Darth Krayt at the Battle of Coruscant and the subsequent collapse of Krayt's Empire, all of the Sith troopers housed on Korriban went berserk and attempted to kill everyone around them. Those Sith that could, fled, those who could not were slain.
