Purple. That's what comes to mind at first sight. This entire map is purple, which is something I don't think I've ever seen before.

This arena is designed to look partially alive. The purple tint is a big aid in this, as are the doors built inside the rock walls...they look like heart valves or something. I wish they wriggled or opened...I'd love to see what's behind them. Oh yeah, that purple skybox is incredible.

Anyways, the arena is made of rock, and I think it's the perfect size for a duel. There are a few boulders in the middle, and off to one side there's a small entryway/cave bored into the rocks. Inside this area, there are a lot of orange glowing orbs covering the walls. I'm not sure what to think of them, but they add a very errie look to this particular spot.

Then we come to the...thingies. I have not the slightest idea what to call them...they're dark and scaly, and look almost like they should be alive. They have many short "arms" reaching upwards and there are orange, glowy lights on the tips. Whatever they are, they litter the map in random places. I had to study them...they look very interesting, and they add a cool touch to the map. Of course, some Yuuzhan Vong expert will come along and link me in the comments to a full definition, I'm sure... :p

Lastly, we come to the music. This map had a really interesting track to it. It sounds like it's a little too intense for JA, but when you consider the highly unusual and alien atmosphere, it adds a touch of fear to the map.

Overall this is masterful work. There could be some minor changes/improvements, but they aren't necessary. It's good as-is!
