'''Bentre Sadow''' was a Sith of inconsequential birth who originally hailed from the planet of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]]. He was born with the name ''Bentyl Stahoes'', though this was far from the last. He has been known more recently as: Bentre Stahoes, Kairn'tel Versea, and he even later assumed the surname of Sadow. During his early tenure in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], Bentre aligned and associated himself with the [[Obelisk]] Order. His identity would be somewhat shaken when the Grand Master of the time, [[Darth Pravus]] called upon his loyal to march upon the Temple Boyna to help root out the remaining 'Undesirable' Obelisks to pave the way for a [[New Order era|New Order]], united under the Sith. Though Bentre took on an affiliation with the [[Sith Order]], he never completely turned his heart away from the [[Obelisk]]. He has even taken to painting armor he bears into battle with a shade of blue reminiscent of the colors of his former order.

His former affiliations are not the only source of pride for Bentre. He holds pride in his status as a [[Disciple of Sadow|disciple of Sadow]], as a [[Sons of Sadow|Son of Sadow]], as a member of the [[Versea Family|Versea family]] and as the former Consul of Clan Naga Sadow. His pride is demonstrated clearly in speech and swagger alike. Though he would be considered insufferable by some, it has not dulled the fervor with which the Corellian lives. Despite the paths he has chosen in his life, Bentre has sought to keep himself sharp, indulging in interests and disciplines that extend out of those stereotypically associated with former Obelisk. Rather than focusing on mere combat skill or physical power, Stahoes has made a hobby out of working with datapads and computers and continues to indulge in slicing and programming, as time permits. If asked, Bentre would insist he was merely a passable Slicer but would lunge at the rare opportunity that might be afforded for him to prove his mettle- be it security systems guarding databases, cracking into communication systems or hijacking [[starwars:holonet|holonet]] transmitters.

==Biographical Data==
===Pre-Brotherhood History===
====Early Life====
Bentre grew up on the planet Corellia, being raised by his mother and father in the middle of a typical urban city block. Although he felt loved by both of his parents, the boy gave both of his parents no end of grief. There were few evenings that the child did not come home with a black eye, a bloodied lip, with blood on his shirt, or being hauled home by law enforcement officials for the trouble he caused. Growing up, Stahoes was far from a basic thug. Although he got wrapped up in childish conflicts with other youth his age, Bentre actually tried to make something of himself as he grew a bit older.
[[image: Coronet-EotESoF.jpg| left |thumb| frame | 250px | [[starwars:Coronet City|Coronet City]], Corellia planet]]

Despite his desire to better himself, as Stahoes progressed in his education, he found himself increasingly and thoroughly bored. This led to him engaging in further scraps and playful attempts to penetrate the network security of a local sector using just a school terminal. It was a mere game to the child, doing legally grey to illegal activities with [[starwars:slicing|slicing]], just to see if he could. He gradually drew the attention and concern of both educators and his parents, which led to some probing into his hobbies, his interests, and his home life.

Contrary to concerns expressed by school officials, the Stahoes family did nothing out of the ordinary. They wanted to give their son the best home lift that they were able to provide. His father was a low-level banker who worked hard to be sure his family wanted for nothing. His mother was a homemaker, previously a network architect, who gave up her passion to raise a family. This did not stop Bentre from breaking his parent's hearts at the age of 15. Using the terminal in his father's study, he sliced into his father's financial account and withdrew everything. Using the credits he wired to an off-planet account, he secured a ride off his homeworld. Finally, in an uncharacteristic act of concern, he scribbled a note to his mother saying he was going to have to disappear for a while. Later, the Stahoes family would move to Selonia, leaving their son to seek them out after he had begun to truly seize the power afforded by the dark side of the Force.

====Tenure on Nar Shadda====
Following his departure from Coronet, Bentre traveled by shuttle from system to system for a few months, living relatively comfortably on the credits he had stolen from his parents. Too soon, his ease with spending credits managed to attract the wrong sort of attention from people. He found himself coping with hangers-on and busybodies eager and determined to get a little taste of his wealth. Just when Stahoes could not stand the unrelenting attention, relief appeared. A [[starwars:Duros|Duros]] named Garan kindly befriended him, watching his back and keeping the seedier elements away with a quiet menace.

[[image: NarShaddaa.jpg| right |thumb| frame | 250px |the city of Nar Shadda, where Bentre was discovered]]

The Human gave little thought to the ease with which his new companion was able to wave aside such nuisances. This lack of care proved to be his downfall. Bentre did not realize that the ruthless nature of his newfound bodyguard drove away the others. Nor did he realize that a particular [[starwars:Duros|Duros]] did not have his best interests at heart. The Corellian found himself the target of a two-man con. Garan, a local Durosian street thug, kept Bentre busy and feeling safe from the less pleasant elements of Nar Shadda. Meanwhile, Garan's partner, a man by the name of Jallo Makk, had been slowly working on slicing into Bentre’s accounts aided by information that Garan provided him.

Once Jallo had finished funneling the money from the account, he went to a local bar for drinks using his newly-acquired wealth. This broke with the established plan between the two criminals, which in turn caused Garan to become angry. Angry words were exchanged, a weapon was drawn, and a bystander was left in a bloody heap in the streets. Having already used the boy, the pair conspired to frame Bentre. This was first initiated by calling into the local law enforcement, by filing false reports, and even using some of the new money to bribe several officials in key positions.

Betrayed by the one person he felt he might trust on the Smuggler's Moon, Bentre found himself destitute, with several warrants out for his arrest on the suspicions of robbery and murder. As Stahoes was on the run from the corrupt law enforcement he met La'venna and her little band of scoundrels. The gang was quick to permit him into their ranks and treated him as though he were family. The human was dubious at first, but La'venna proved her sincerity when she saved his life during a heated conflict in the streets. Among one of his many souvenirs of his time with the small gang, the Jade Kodashi, is the blaster that Bentre would carry for many months before it was destroyed in a duel.

His time of relative peace proved too short-lived as thirteen months later, Garan and a small band of mercenaries managed to hunt down the Corellian. The Duros told him it had been the work of the Twi'lek and her rogues that had brought him to their attention again. Garan smiled, giving a mock apology, claiming he always hated when "contracts end like this." As Garan was about to pull the trigger a fellow gang member, by the name of Sian, shot the Duros in the back. This act saved Bentre's life. The Sullstan rogue went on to explain that he had been trailing the human for the last few hours by order of La'venna. Unfortunately, though, Garan's words had planted a seed of doubt in Bentre's mind. When he returned to their hideout, he promptly pulled a blaster, shooting the Twi'lek woman in the stomach, and fleeing angrily in the wake of the resulting confusion. Once again, he found himself on the run, with fewer and fewer options available. It was during the aftermath of these events that [[Marcus Kiriyu]] found the Corellian on Nar Shadda, and helped him escape the planet for good.

===Early Service in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood===
====Training and the Red Fury Conflict====
Once the Corellian found himself at the [[Shadow Academy]], he hit the ground running, throwing himself into studies of history, practicing with the [[starwars:training lightsaber|training lightsaber]] he was granted, and further sharpening the skills he had already picked up as he served as a member of the Jade Kodashi on Nar Shadda. He tried desperately to forget his former life, but he still experienced nightmares about the things he experienced there.

[[file: Bentre_commission_kaela_headshot.png |right|thumb| 150px | Bentre as a Guardian]]
His eagerness did not go unseen, as soon after he left the Shadow Academy and joined the Clan Naga Sadow, he was paired up with [[Daedric Turelles]]. The tenacious attitude of the student was well met by his new Master's own inclination to seek knowledge and to self-improve. The Dark Jedi Knight tried to press his apprentice to excel, and was pleasantly surprised to see Stahoes step up to his challenges. Like a man possessed, Bentre continued to process information at a surprising rate.

Though his Master never seemed to realize it, the drive to better himself was borne of a fear of betrayal. Bentre wanted to be sure that when he got attacked again he would be able to drive off his rivals. He continued to make a name for himself, eventually joining [[Sapphire Squadron]]. Over time, he finally dared to hope he could finally find the sense of family he had lost on Nar Shadda. To help aid the healing needed, Daedric provided his student with closure, in the form of a mission.<ref>[https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/t/back-to-the-moon-character-fiction/861 "Back To The Moon" Character Fiction]</ref>

{{quote|If I have my way, we are going to cut our way right into the heart of the remaining pirates and then carve through the lot of them.|Bentre Stahoes <ref>[https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/t/cns-csp-red-fury-the-tides-of-war/812/40 Red Fury Run-On]</ref>}}

Bentre's first truly notable conflict as a member of Sapphire Squadron would be the attack on the pirate moon of Atlas. Dropping in with the rest of his Battleteam, the Journeyman served with distinction, helping to clear and secure the hangar area. He kept himself busy clearing out soldiers with his blaster, before moving forward with his master, [[Macron]] and [[Shi Long]] in the act of cutting a swathe across the battlefield. The armored forces of [[Scholae Palatinae]] followed up behind the four, ensuring victory for the joint operation by the clans.

[[File:Bentre JM fight Atra.jpg|355px|left|thumb|frame|an artist rendering of Bentre in tight combat with [[Atra Ventus|Anima]] ]]
====The Rise of a Dark Jedi Knight====
Later in the year, Bentre was inducted into the [[Order of the Black Guard]] and attained the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. He was given charge over Wrooshuu and tried to work closely with the Wookie in order to expand on his own knowledge and experience. He also used his position as a Blackguard to become a more finely-tuned killer. He continued to distinguish himself in repeated combat against both fellow Dark Jedi and Jedi alike. He found this increasingly difficult as madness began to overtake him. The Dark Jedi Knight began to work toward a basic mastery of [[Shii-Cho]] and began to study war as a whole. The Corellian was determined to do everything in his power to build his strength and power.

Stahoes also worked closely with the [[Battle Team Leader]] of Sapphire Squadron, [[Robert Sadow | Bob Sadow]] to further the glory of his Battle Team. He tried to work on converting the Team's resources to create a training area, but found they lacked the required area to keep such a dedicated space. Instead the slicer worked on preparing a computer program to be used in conjunction with several holographic projectors to create an easily modified training room which could literally be set up in any open area. To his knowledge, the paperwork for his request was lost in the preference or more pressing matters, but having put forward the plans Bentre chose to focus on his own training and look for other more accepted ways to further his comrades. He also began to have to contend with the real threat of his slipping grip on his own sanity as the effects of his replacement eye were becoming more and more evident as time went on. He found that he had to remain at times very isolated from the very people he had grown so close to in his new found family.

====Prophecy and Awakening====
{{quote| The Darkness will grow; but as a cancer out of control; stars shall be extinguished; whole systems laid to waste| [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]}}

As his time continued on in the Dark Brotherhood, Bentre found his cavalier attitude and scoundrel-like ways made him feel ill at ease with the Brotherhood as a whole. The Corellian felt that his chosen skill set made him- while not a pariah- set apart from his comrades, and not in a way that he had tried to affect. This feeling was further reinforced by the words of his then-Rollmaster Anima following a conflict on Nar Shadda. There the pair experienced an encounter with Garan, an echo of the Corellian's past on the moon. The Obelisk had allowed his past to define his attitude and tactics and had prevented him from growing to his full potential. Garan's death became an epiphany for the young Journeyman, and marked a slow change of focus from blaster-based combat to a more conventional lightsaber-based combat style. The Dark Jedi Knight would still carry a blaster, but he was no longer dependent upon it as he had been.

Bentre continued to gently develop over time. Taking up the position as the leader of Devil's Shroud, the [[CS_Guide:_Disciplines#Shadow|Shadow]] tried to focus on building up the members of his team, attempting to better both his team and himself in equal measure. His efforts seemed to pay off, and though slowly, Devil's Shroud began to thrive despite his innate lack of experience at the time. To his chagrin, Stahoes still lost two men under his command within the first few months. With each stumble and each obstacle overcome, he urged his fellow Battleteam members to look toward the future as an opportunity to grow and improve. This new viewpoint did not serve him very well in the days to come unfortunately.

[[File:Stahoes post awakenings.png| left |thumb| frame | 155px |Bentre, as he appeared shortly after the [[Awakenings|events of Dentavii]] ]]

The zenith of this transition would culminate following the resurfacing of [[Darth Vexatus]]. The Heretic brought news of a new threat to the clan, and unrest spread through the Clan. The close-knit Sadowans split in two, between those who believed the Falleen's warning of approaching doom and those who backed the Consul Locke. The Consul felt determined to hold the Clan together at all costs, meanwhile discounting the Prophet-Heretic. Adding to the chaos, the Rollmaster and the Corellian's close friend, [[Marcus Kiriyu]] chose that time as the perfect moment to make a power play, seemingly determined to overthrow both [[Locke Sonjie|Locke]] and Xanos. As the members of his Battleteam chose sides between the Consul and Vexatus, Bentre chose to side with Kiriyu, secretly hoping to take advantage of whomever would prove the victor in the struggle. With the Clan members making their decisions, the hunt for the Shards of [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii]] began.

[[File:Bentre bionic arm.jpg| right |thumb| frame | 125px |the bionic arm, the first designed built and used by Bentre]]

The Shadow could not have known what would come of the hunt. As he and Tasha'vel Versea hunted the asteroid surface for any signs of the artifacts, fate would have it that Bentre would literally trip upon one. Though the Twi'lek realized the peril the shard represented, the Human could only see the potential that it unlocked. Attacking his comrade in arms, Stahoes was shortly thereafter ambushed by Locke-loyalist forces and the shard was taken from the pair. Great damage had been done to both mind and body but even as the Corellian lay unconscious he could feel the power of the shard calling to him, a silent but deadly siren's song. Under its influence, he would once again use the artifact, both to attack and escape from the clutches of [[Sanguinius Tsucyra| Sanguinius]], [[Armad]] and [[Darkblade]]. Realizing there was no time to waste, he rendezvoused with Kiriyu to deliver the Shard. With it in hand, the pair headed to [[Dentavii Prime]], attempting to fulfill the Krath's vision.

It would not be until after the events on Dentavii Prime that the effects of the shard on the already remarkably fragile psyche of the Sith would be fully realized. He would begin to hear voices more regularly and suffer irregular periods of rage, aggression, and schizophrenia. Compounded with the friction between himself and others, this served to shatter the man's feelings of relative safety and family among the others such as Atra. The feeling was replaced with a cool distrust, which he struggled to keep hidden beneath a facade of arrogant confidence. He also struggled to adjust to the presence of his new prosthetic arm, a bionic device that he had designed. Frustrated and lacking the knowledge necessary, Stahoes was forced to seek help in acquiring the proper software to make the device operate. Though the contractor got the work done, Bentre began to read up on the software and code involved in the operation of such technologies. He was determined to ensure he could do the work himself in future.

====Incursion at Myrmidon====
{{quote|The trap is set, and we need to be sure that the target takes the bait.|Bentre <ref>[https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/t/cns-incursion-shar-dakhan-inter-bt-event/984/4 Incursion at Myrmidon Run-On]</ref>}}
[[image:14158_ben_eq2.png|100px|left|thumb|lightsabers used in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#33 ABY|33 ABY]] ]]
The weeks following the events on Dentavii were largely uneventful. Beyond some rather macabre- and to some disturbing- experiments by the Corellian, surprisingly little seemed to change at first. Slowly, those close to Stahoes realized he had begun spending more time in his office and quarters, choosing to act through holos and proxies. The Sith normally preferred to work and fight alongside his team, so this began rumors and murmuring among many in the city-base.

An unrest began to echo out among the local populace around this time. A small but vocal militia arose from the common folk. Before long, they were rallying citizens to their cause. They claimed the city and land as their own as birthright, demanding the Sadowans vacate the land immediately or face dire consequences. Their claims and cries were ignored, to the point that a small army had begun to move on the city.

Realizing the people could pose a larger threat if they were not dealt with, Stahoes contacted his old comrade, [[Scarlet]]. With their combined efforts, Sapphire Squadron and Devil's Shroud were successful in repelling the forces of the revolutionary calling herself "Chelidon". Many depicted her as a Zeltron warrior, carrying tattered banners to display their allegiance against the perceived trespassers. The rebellion was short-lived thanks to the quick and fierce actions of [[Lexiconus]] and Macron Goura. The base of operations for Chelidon's people was reduced to ash. Unbeknownst to the rest of the team however, Bentre had recieved one last transmission just two days after their supposed victory.

"Chelidon's Army Will Rise Again. Beware those who serve the Yellow Sun."

====The Progenitor====
{{Quote| It's amusing, is it not? How often the snow is mistaken for ash? I think I'll call this piece: Ashes fall. |Yuki}}

The event that came to be known as ''[[Ashes Fall]]'' started with a crashed ship. An unmarked transport descended in a fireball, carving further scars into the Shadowlands of [[Sepros]]. Aware of the foreign object descending on the planet, soldiers were dispatched to investigate. The troops were met with an enigmatic resistance which wiped out every sentient there. Their cries went unheard by the Warhost, the bodies being stripped of metals and left to rot. Twenty-two minutes later, receiving no response from the men in the field, the Warhost contacted the Cult of Sadow to inform them of these strange developments.

Members of Naga Sadow were sent to investigate. One team led by Sanguinius to investigate the catacombs below, and another led by Atra to investigate the Shadowlands above. It was with the latter team that Bentre was dispatched. As the teams investigated, they were met with robotic opponents- quick, efficient, and as deadly as they were alien to the Clan. Some were merely machines, whereas others employed both organic and mechanical components. The fiercest of these could rival even Elders, while all could prove deadly to Journeyman caught unaware. From those designated ''Archanea'' up to the ''Titan'' variants, the machines proceeded up from a factory below the surface, discovered by the Ragnosian Quaestor, [[Sanguinius Tsucyra]].

As the Progenitor's legion threatened to overwhelm the Clan, [[Shi Long]], Ventus and Stahoes followed Xia Long as the Force guided the Long family's Matriarch straight into the bowels of the Progenitor's ship. As they traveled, the Knight worked with his datapad. At first he had hoped to confuse, reprogram, or shutdown the droids. As they went deeper in, he realized that the destruction of the ship and their Master was the only sure way to do so. A large number of Echidna awaited the four, forcing all but [[Atra Ventus|Xue Long]] to retreat- who alone charged deeper in. Unknown to Stahoes at the time, the Umbaran Quaestor had taken his impromptu solution with him, carrying the device into the chamber of the Progenitor himself. That was the last that the Knight saw of Atra Ventus before the Progenitor's ship exploded behind him.

The death of his friend rocked Bentre Stahoes more deeply than he could have ever fathomed. It was like all at once, his whole world had been crushed. Within the Brotherhood, he had formed this imaginary bubble around all his friends and comrades. Nothing could touch them, the Force was with them. He had allowed a child-like hope to rise up within him. When the bubble burst, the Corellian could only feel despair. For weeks it seemed that nothing could console him. Once again he was a teenager, picking fights for the sake of fights. A deep self-loathing set in his stomach, even after being recognized for his skill and valor, the newly-promoted [[Warrior]] struggled to overcome the grief at his lost friend and mentor. His whole world had come crashing down after that day.

===Rise of a New Order===
====A Disenchanted Inquisitor====
[[File:Bentre_stahoes_34_ABY_r.png|thumb|right| 260px|frame| Bentre as he appeared during his tenure as Aedile]]
Bentre Stahoes did find some solace in the midst of his grief. His prior rival, Tasha'vel, reached out to the hurting Sith. The grudging, borderline respect the Human felt for the woman grew into something more earnest. At times all the two did was spar, as Versea used the martial art of [[starwars: Echani_(martial_art)|Echani]] to help Stahoes gives his pent-up energy an outlet. Other times, she helped him to talk through his feelings over a hot cup of stimcaf. She was a support to him after his fight with her Quaestor, and later as he struggled with the unearned contempt he felt after fighting [[Keira Viru]]. It would be this support which kept him from slipping into inconsolable grief in the events to come.

He would still remember the day when the Grand Master put out his orders concerning the Orders and the aliens. Krath and Obelisk were to be no more. All but certain species were labeled, along with the former Orders of the Dark Brotherhood, as '''Undesirables'''. The Temple Tiamat, the [[Temple Boyna]], and the Shadow Academy were ordered purged. "''Sub-human species, disease carriers, Jedi, and potential terrorist aliens...''"- the words would echo in his nightmares for weeks afterward. When at first he had been told he would serve to protect the Iron Throne and strike out against those who threatened the Dark Jedi Brotherhood as a member of the [[Inquisitorius]], Bentre Stahoes had felt some measure of pride. He worked hard, ascending to the position of Chief Inquisitor.

His stomach only soured as he was given his commands. Still, the Corellian found himself marching with his fellows against the Temple Boyna. Though he had been, and still was Obelisk, he took part in the slaughter like a man possessed. He would remember every scream, every cry, their pleads for mercy falling on deaf ears. In the back of his mind, he was trying to figure out what these people, his people, had done to become a threat to Pravus. It would not be until a day later that the insanity of the Grand Master would dawn upon the man. It was at that point he decided that while the true dangers to the Brotherhood needed to be exterminated, he owed the [[Iron Throne]] no such loyalty.

====A Grudging Aedile====
With this realization in mind, Bentre strove to be a better Sith. As Keira vacated the position of Quaestor, Stahoes fought for the position, being set aside by the Summit- to his anger- for the man he not-so-secretly considered a traitor to the Clan, [[Darkblade]]. His efforts for his fellows was not unseen. In recognition of his ability, his drive, and his dedication (Bentre presumed), the Corellian was appointed to be the Aedile to the Anzat. Feeling scorned, the Warrior took to the office with a fervor, determined to show his competence and skill. In his heart, he promised he would become Quaestor. If there was one thing he had realized as he had dealt with his fellow Sith, treachery was in their nature. It was only a matter of time before he usurped his superior. Time would tell what kind of scars he would leave on the new Quaestor when the time came.
[[File:Versea_wolf_tattoo.gif| left |thumb| frame | 150px |the brand of those inducted into the family Versea]]

====A Dutiful Patriarch====
It was shortly after his appointment that Stahoes' feelings toward Tasha'vel Versea came to a crest. After some discussion, the two decided that a life together would be far better than a life alone. Tasha'vel presented the Corellian with an Echani blade of his own. The two agreed to be joined in the [[starwars:Jasshi'rr|Jasshi'rr]], Twi'lek One-ness. Faced with such affection, the Sith wanted to be able to return the comfort and love that he had received from the Twi'lek woman. He wanted to have a sweet and tender relationship. Vowing to act as an honorable member of the Versea, Bentre quietly assumed the role beside Tasha'Vel as Patriarch of the family Estate. In that moment, with the congratulations of his Clan in the background, the Corellian felt a momentary peace and unparalleled joy.

In his new station as the Patriarch of the family, Bentre realized that the family faced some small risk of disappearing from the galaxy. His wife, his brother in law, and himself were the only surviving members of the Versea. Realizing this, he reached out to a few choice individuals to join as new branches within the family. Those who were chosen [[Sith Tattoos|took a mark]] chosen by the Patriarch and approved by the Matriarch; a brand that acted as a symbol of their unity as a family or a 'pack'. The ideal had been pushed forward by Stahoes, being akin to the Blackguard tattoo which the Sadowan carried upon his right arm. He wanted the wolf symbol to act as a permanent mark of their commitment to the family. The brand would be administered by either the Matriarch of the Patriarch via a ritual in which the symbol was burnt into the flesh of the received. The pain experienced was a symbol of 'rebirth' into the family. Upon completion, the individual would be given a new name and given access to the family estate on Ryloth. As an example to the others, Bentre was the first to be branded and to take his new name of ''Kairn'tel''.

====Opposing the Grand Master====
The joy he felt peaked, but the gravity of the situation within the Brotherhood hit him hard as the Iron Legion struck. In what seemed like a moment, the Herald disappeared and [[New Tython]] had been razed. No longer could the Corellian stand idly by as he quickly realized the presence of Jedi in his Clan did not bode well for Naga Sadow. While the idea of allying with Jedi irritated him, the Sith Warrior chose to do so in order to build up a defense against the [[Pravus|mad leader]] of the Brotherhood.

It was in the moments that the news first reached him that Bentre realized that this was- for the moment- bigger than the long-standing conflict between sides light and dark. He needed to make the Sith Lord pay for what he had done to the [[Krath]], the [[Obelisk]] and the rest of the Undesirables. Bentre decided that one way or another he would wage a personal war against the Grand Master. He would have his revenge.

====Battle at Agua'tah and Defending the Homeland====
[[30 ABY to 39 ABY#34 ABY|34 ABY]] would find the Sith fighting the Dominion threat alongside his Clan. The Operation designated ''[[Operation: Firestorm|Firestorm]]'' by the Consul brought the Sadowans to a known base of operations in an attempt to push back the rival faction. Bentre marched along with his fellows to attack a Star Destroyer in orbit above the planet. After managing to secure the hangar, the Corellian took it upon himself to try and disable the ship's weapons. His attempts did not pan out as expected, as the Hammer of Cha'kota plummeted to the planet's surface, and Clan Naga Sadow was forced to fight their opponents on their home turf. The operation was deemed a success by the Clan summit, and the Dominion were believed wounded and defeated for the time. It was never said the conflict was over. They still did not know the location of Cha'kota, so the killing blow could not be delivered.

As the members of House Shar Dakhan settled into a period of relative peace upon Aeothoran, Stahoes found he could not settle himself. Long arguments ensued between the Aedile and Quaestor about the relative threat of the Dominion, and the possibility of a future attack. Eventually, Darkblade relented, agreeing that preparation for such a possibility could not hurt. Together the pair initiated Operation: Homeland, taking the form of a simulated attack upon the planet by Dominion forces. The defending forces were played by Darkblade and a selection of Dakhani, while Bentre staged the faux attack alongside his former apprentice and another team. The simulation went well until a number of the Warhost accompanying them began to act erratically, attacking the Lion's Tooth without orders being given. A number of Clawdite infiltrators had staged a real attack. The attack was put down by the combined attempts of both Teams Offense and Defense, and House Shar Dakhan stood victorious at the end of the day. However, paranoia gripped the Battlemaster. As Darkblade began to congratulate the House on their victory in the attack, Stahoes ignited his lightsaber and plunged the weapon into the Quaestor's back.

Chaos ensued for several moments as a number of people jumped upon the Corellian. The Anzat appeared dead on the ground and the Sith was restrained as other Sadowans examined the supposed corpse. To the surprise of all, the body reverted into its native form. At some point, Darkblade had been replaced by a [[starwars:Clawdite|Clawdite]]. The Aedile had unwittingly slain an enemy of the House, and inadvertently saved the day. More than one of the House moved to congratulate Bentre, but the stress of the events proved too much for the man. Confused and overwhelmed by this turn of events, Stahoes lost consciousness.

====Rehabilitation====

In the days following, the Aedile spent a few days in what appeared to be a coma. Upon hearing of the events that preceded the condition, his wife boarded a transport to see for herself what had happened. When the events were described to the Twi'lek in person, she very calmly gathered up her husband's things and announced to the Quaestor of Shar Dakhan that like it or not, her husband was leaving. Tasha'vel then spirited the Corellian off world back to their estate on [[starwars:Ryloth|Ryloth]], tasking the servants there with his care. She was unable to stay long however, as the duties of her position called her back to the [[Markosian City]], and she was forced to leave Bentre in the care of her brother. The Quaestor then took her husband's weapons back with her, leaving him with only his clothes set on a table beside him. It was unknown when or how well that Kairn'tel would recover from the incident. House Shar Dakhan was left for a time without an Aedile.

[[File:Bentre_Stahoes_Rollmaster.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Bentre in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]], now Clan Rollmaster, standing on the steps of the [[Temple of Blood]] ]]

The next few months would be slow for Stahoes, as he would be secluded within the Versea Estates as his wife had promised in return for his safety. Privy to the man's slicing abilities and fearing he would try to improvise an escape, the Twi'lek relieved him of all personal effects, save for granting him use of a pad of [[starwars:flimsiplast]] and a chunk of graphite with which he could write. A slave collar was fitted on the man as a means of tracking him, but otherwise he was given free reign of certain portions of the couple's home. In this condition. the Corellian had only three things to look forward to: the setting of the sun on another day, the regular meals provided for him and the eventual freedom that seemed would only be afforded by the Versea Matriarch or the Snake Quaestor.

====Return and Elevation====
News of the chaos within the Brotherhood slowly made its way to his home on Ryloth for several months before Bentre finally decided he had enough. Breaking his house arrest, the Patriarch fled the estate and made his way back toward the Orian System. Arriving upon [[Aeotheran]] unannounced, the Corellian dwelt quietly among the population for a time, watching the effects of the Sadowan's rule upon the people of the planet. After a few days of contemplation, Bentre brazenly marched his way directly into the [[Lion's Tooth]]. Judging himself capable of taking up his old mantle again, Stahoes challenged his Clan-brother and fellow Versea [[Zachary O'Maille]] to return his office to its rightful owner. A heated conflict ensued as O'Maille was reluctant to step aside, but in the end capitulated when facing the wrath of Kairn'tel in combat. A few hours after this event, [[Locke Sonjie]] called Bentre to the Courtyard of the Lion's Tooth with an announcement. Stahoes' return had not gone undetected by Sonjie, and in light of the departure of Darius Tu'kul, the Clan was without a Rollmaster. The Summit had chosen Bentre to be his replacement.

The next few weeks would prove quite interesting for the fresh [[Rollmaster]]. The man tried to take to his task with gusto, pouring over the mounds of paperwork and datapads left to him, some of it dating back to the time of [[Atra Ventus|Anima's]] time as Rollmaster. Meetings with Sanguinius and discussions with the Quaestors would follow his appointment with an almost irritating regularity, but the Corellian still tried to keep his nose down to the grindstone. The Clan had believed him up to the task and Bentre pledged not to disappoint them. Another factor however complicated matters, cropping up barely a week after the Sith situated himself within the [[Temple of Blood]] on Sepros. For the first time since he had forcibly ended his imprisonment in his home on Ryloth, the man was contacted by his wife, Tasha'Vel Versea. The Twi'lek Matriarch delivered congratulations on his new position, along with some joyful news. Tasha'Vel had borne him a daughter, having kept her pregnancy a secret until the birth of their half-Twileki child. The Versea family now had a new member.

===In Pursuit of Power===
====Ancient Relics and Repositories====
{{quote|"While the other Clans scramble to survive, while Pravus destroys everything he sets his eyes on, let us safeguard and study these relics of the past. We will ensure their survival and we will use them to our advantage. Let it be declared that any artifact of the past - any tome or holocron - is ours by birthright."|Locke Sonjie}}

The joy following the knowledge of his daughter's birth did not offer the Rollmaster any lasting reprieve. The threat of the Grandmaster still lingered at the edge of his thoughts even on the occasions when he could hold his infant in his arms. The demands of his office kept him busy as he addressed the needs of his members, but there was a more pressing matter. Naga Sadow's Consul had already announced their self-appointed mission to safeguard the treasures of the past from the hands of the Grand Master and his Inquisitors. More than that, [[Locke Sonjie|Sonjie]] wanted to embrace the power that knowledge and artifacts could offer in hopes that with the Warhost military, Clan Naga Sadow would become unstoppable.

To this end, Stahoes and others began to plumb existing libraries of data, study ancient legends and sometimes even pursue mere rumors in hopes of uncovering some yet-undiscovered trove. It was on this premise that the [[Muz Ashen|Lion of Tarthos]] reached out to the Corellian Sith. A map, though incomplete, hinted of a yet-untouched site on the ancient world of [[starwars:Moraband|Moraband]]. Recognizing the potential to secure some artifacts for the Clan, Bentre assured the former Grand Master that he would have a team on the world in three days time.

[[file:Bentre_35ABY.png|300px|thumb|left|Bentre, reviewing a treatise on Sith Alchemy for later comparison to his own [[starwars:Sith Alchemy|Alchemic]] research, circa 35 ABY]]

Under the designation '[[Sands of Time]]', the excavation of the site went as smoothly as could be desired at first. However, part way into the operation, Sadowans on the ground found themselves plagued by confusing visions of grey creatures. Almost two hours after this, contact was lost with the expedition, and Riku Amahara was dispatched to investigate.

When news reached the Summit that Riku had discovered gray, armor clad humanoids on the surface, Locke Sonjie ordered the deployment of all Sadowans to assist in reinforcing the ground teams. Bentre himself would assist in the fighting on the ground, and ultimately the recovery of a number of artifacts. The events under the planet's surface had a distinct effect on the man's wife, however. He noticed a change in her demeanor, but he could not quite pin it down. It was as though something haunted her from behind her own eyes. Tasha'Vel had been influenced by the most notable of the artifacts. While a duty to his wife pulled the man to attempt to comfort his spouse, ultimately the demands of his office rendered Bentre incapable of taking the time he felt necessary to offer his wife the extended support she might need. Instead, he chose to trust she would be able to gather her own inward strength to cope with the experience, and once again threw himself into the tedium of his work.

====Adherence to the Art====
{{Quote|But ask me the secrets of Sith alchemy, and I would ask you for three measures of blood: one from a person you love, one from a person you hate, and one from yourself.|[[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]}}

Despite the time he had spent in teaching the basics and theory of [[starwars:Sith Alchemy|Sith Alchemy]], Stahoes found himself woefully inexperienced in the application of the craft. This, coupled with the fact that his work put him into closer physical proximity with Pravus' loyalists than he liked, brought the man into an uncomfortable position. After a great deal of deliberation and too many bottles of Corellian brandy, Bentre drafted a resignation letter to the [[Headmaster]] of the Shadow Academy. The resignation went more smoothly than he had expected, with little more than a form letter being sent back in return.

Although this freed the man up to explore the mysteries of Alchemy for himself, there was still one thing that he lacked: a proper alchemical forge with which to work. The disappointment of this fact was short-lived, given that Clan Naga Sadow was home to the infamous "[[Macron Goura Sadow| Mad Alchemist]]", Macron Sadow. When asked, the [[Elder]] who had once replaced a ruined eyeball in Bentre, was more than willing to compare notes. Compared to the immaculate and sterile environment of a classroom, the world the Battlelord consequently found himself in was that of blood and chemicals, of horrors and secrets.

Despite his own misgivings, Stahoes found a greater friend and ally than he had imagined in his continued pursuit of power. To his relief, taking his leave of the [[Shadow Academy|Academy]] did not mean an end to his searches, but rather revealed a deeper well of knowledge than he had first expected. With a new bond forged, the two would engage in conversations outside of just [[Sith Alchemy]], including ways to hinder or possibly halt the Grand Master's swathe of destruction in light of the attack by [[Atra Ventus]] on the Sadowan fleet.

This focus was, over time, overshadowed by other concerns. As Bentre's tenure as Consul and Overlord extended, the man found less time to devote to the Art. The more his life stretched on aboard the Sadowan flagship, the Sadow found more of his time filled with the bonds of leadership and responsibility, to the point he no longer had time to make more than a cursory study of ancient history such as [[starwars:Sith War Behemoth|sith machines of war]]. The love of the practice was never lost on the Corellian, in any case. He dreamed of a potential retirement, where he might practice his studies freely.

====Conflict at Terra Do Gelo ====
{{quote| His actions aside, this data may be of some use.|Bentre to Sangunius}}

In the days immediately leading up to the [[Great Jedi War XII|Twelfth]] Great Jedi War, Clan Naga Sadow continued to reinforce and reorganize in preparation for the upcoming conflict. Reports had been received by Kojiro Keibatsu of an anomalous heat signature on [[Tarthos#Terra Do Gelo|Terra Do Gelo]]. Sending teams to investigate, the threat of mutated creatures of unknown origin and rogue droids had been located at three points. With [[Armad]] of Marka Ragnos and Jurdan Krennel of Shar Dakhan, Bentre answered the call for assistance by the Markosian Quaestor. Stahoes was tasked with securing the mining complexes on the continent- a task that he took to with great relish. Though droids were his primary threats in the mines, the operation led to the discovery of Dlarit-owned facilities that had also been augmenting arctic lifeforms to great effect.

As the Sadowan assault teams surveyed the aftermath, The Sadowan Battlelord grew silent as he carefully considered everything he had experienced. He could see the potential of the experiments conducted at the sites, but was irritated by the limited effects such tests produced. As his fellows tried to make greater sense of the refuse and remains of the former Dlarit site, the Sith had already begun to compile a list of mental notes. The resources afforded by the reacquisition of the continent were limited in their own rights. If combined with the arcane secrets afforded from the research of [[starwars:Sith Alchemy|Sith Alchemy]], then perhaps Naga Sadow could strike back at the likes of her enemies. His mind boggled at the possibilities. Bentre believed that given enough patience, the treacherous [[Clan Scholae Palatinae|Palatinae]] could repay their transgressions in kind, the Iron Legion could be pushed back and even the Grand Master would fall to the glory of their Clan's collective power.

The actions of the Quaestor and his entourage beneath the standard of the one-eyed wolf were seen as distasteful in the eyes of both Consul and Proconsul. The death of prisoners left the Clan's Consul upset, and Bentre attempted to soothe the Entar with words. Stahoes believed that, as he told his immediate superior, that the data extracted from the sites would prove useful. Though he said so in earnest, he did not tell Sanguinius of his intent to use the Markosian House leader as a tool and a stepping stone. Stahoes still had a lot of information to gather and research to do. The pursuit of greater knowledge and power had not and should not be ended. While the Clone-turned-Keibatsu was a brief liability, the greater threat of the Inquisitors were of greater import to the Versea Patriarch in his service to his Clan. [[Kojiro Keibatsu|Kojiro]] was but one of many strings to be pulled.

===War and Retribution===
====Attack on The Suffering====

{{quote|I’m going to link up with our other two agents and get them back to the extract shuttle. You lot are on your own from here. Good luck.| Bentre Stahoes<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-vYlrW6IxW6YUhRMTlaTG10R3c/view The New Order: Endgame]</ref>}}

The destruction of Obelisk and Krath by Darth Pravus proved a sticking point for an extended period of time for Stahoes. During the height of the Inquisitor’s operations against so-called '''Undesirables''' he acted as a resisting member. Bentre's resistance to the Iron Throne came to a head in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]]. Contacted by the Consul of Taldyran, [[Rhylance]], Bentre replaced Lieutenant Kenson, impersonating the man through a combination of skill and Force-driven illusions. Once in position, he assisted in an attack led by the Lotus against the Iron Navy flagship, '''''The Suffering'''''. Openly joining the initial attack against the flag ship were [[The Lotus|the Lotus]], both [[Clan Arcona|Arcona]] and [[Clan Odan-Urr|Odan-Urr]] along with a number of unmarked ships, vessels sent by Naga Sadow to support the Lotus' operation. While the battle raged, Bentre in the guise of the deceased Kenson led the sabotage team to one of the shield generators. Once he directed part of the saboteurs to the generator covering the rear thrusters, he cloaked and worked his way back to the extraction point and the remaining members of their team.

Members of his team, gathered in the hangar, moved toward their shuttle to make an escape. Standing up against a hail of blaster fire, Bentre stood firm alongside [[Shadow Nighthunter]] to provide his fellows cover, with his lightsaber flashing from side to side to bat away the energy bolts . When one such bolt managed to slip through, Bentre threw a caution to the wind, running to his fallen ally '''Lucine Vasano'''. throwing her over his shoulder before charging back toward the escape shuttle waiting for the team's arrival.
Despite the swarms of TIE-fighters, the deft piloting skills of Zoran and the assistance of Andrelious' squadron allowed the shuttle to escape relatively unscathed from '''''The Suffering'''''. As the team returned to the relative safety of the Odanite flagship, '''''[[item:46091|Solari]]''''' the true weight of the situation sank in for the Sith Battlelord. Like it or not, he was now against the Grand Master in a heavier manner than before. The news of his involvement in the operation was likely to reach Pravus' ears in one way or another. His family was going to be in greater danger for his involvement. He was going to have to prepare for war in earnest now.

====Battle on Nancora====
The attack did not end with the action of Lotus sympathizers against those loyal to the [[Iron Throne]]. Rather, upon returning to his fellows Bentre learned that a group known as the "[[The Collective]]" had staged an attack upon the [[Suffering]]. There was little time to dwell on this course of events, as similar forces attacked the individual Clan systems. Rather than fighting Pravus and his interests, Bentre now had to rally his fellow Sadowans to fight against the larger threat. The Collective was led by one [[The_Collective#Rath_Oligard| Rath Oligard]], a former Fleet Admiral of the Brotherhood's naval forces.

Beginning the attack on [[Nancora]], Bentre fought alongside [[Aul Celsus]], Evelynn Wyrm, Jurdan Krennel, [[Drae'lath Rahath]] and [[Erik Cato]]. After punching through the blockade in Krennel's ship, the strike team engaged Collective infantry, modified walker units and even experimental weather manipulation technology. Unfortunately most of the technology that Stahoes was able to recover amounted to war trophies such as the vibroblade or more grisly trophies such as the implant he pried from the head of a dead enemy soldier. Little information appears in record, and there is little in evidence which would indicate more than the Corellian's expected service to the Iron Throne at that time. When attempts were made to debrief the man on his part on the operation on the planet's surface, the former Obelisk showed a marked detachment, reiterating in a flat tone the mission objectives and indicating which objectives were completed to what degree by his team. More information was gleaned from the other Sadowans in the team to fill in the gaps, and the group were allowed to return to the [[Orian system]]. The attack on the Collective's planet left a further scar upon the man's psyche. While he was no more broken than he had been before the attack, there was a crack in the veneer. Time would tell if that crack would expand.

====Inferno====

Following the war, Clan Naga Sadow experienced a brief peace. It appeared that perhaps the [[Orian system]] would not suffer the immediate ravages of the Collective. This proved false when a bomb erupted. The Temple of Sorrow was in flames. The temple collapsed and assassins launched an attack on the Upper Summit. Faced with potential death, Consul and Proconsul turned their weapons together against their attackers. The pair were successful, but this did nothing to assuage the worries of Sanguinius. As the Entar searched the body of one of the dead assailants, he found a medallion emblazoned with a familiar symbol: the three pillars of the Collective.

At the Consul’s right side, Bentre Stahoes helped to organize the attacks on the planet of [[starwars:Ruuria|Ruuria]]. His actions in the conflict were relatively limited as he took a more supervisory role than he had in the past. His intent was to ensure that as many people were able to return home as possible. Despite his desire to bloody the Collective’s nose for daring to attack the Sadowans, Bentre strode to keep a cool head. As the Clan returned to their home system, it seemed as though all was as it should be. The Clan had dealt justly with the forces on the surface of the planet, cutting through resistance with relative ease. A scouting force had been observed on the outskirts of the system, but it appeared for the time that the Clan would be able to rebuild from the recent attacks. It was not until Bentre laid eyes upon their home system that he would realize just how wrong they really were.

====Losing His Home====
The return to the [[Orian System]] proved to be an unhappy one. The Warhost fleet was met by a sizable Collective force. Immediately upon leaving hyperspace, the threat was clear. In the midst of the confusion caused by the ambush, Sanguinius Tsucrya Entar commanded the Sadowan-loyal forces to jump out of the system. Seeing [[Kojiro Keibatsu]] turn one of the [[House Marka Ragnos|Ragnosian]] ships to defend fleeing ships, the reality of this war sunk home for Bentre Stahoes. In what seemed like a flash, Clan Naga Sadow was homeless. Sanguinius contacted the [[Dark Council]], offering submission in exchange for support. In that moment, Stahoes found himself in command of his Clan.

In contrast to his antagonistic relationship with Darth Pravus, Bentre chose to honor the agreement made by his predecessor, and attempted to work more closely with Grand Master Telaris Cantor. To this end, he sought out a compatriot to help hold together the Clan during this time of wandering and change. After some consultation with his circle of advisors, Ashia Kagan Keibatsu was chosen to serve with the Corellian as Proconsul of the Clan. Together, the pair would set a new direction for Clan Naga Sadow: to embody the very ideal of a Golden Age Sith Empire. The first step would be the fight to return to their rightful home, by kicking the Collective out of the Orian system once again.

====Becoming a Son of Sadow====

{{quote|"By word and deed, by blood and toil, I will honor our Clan."|Consul Stahoes' oath}}

Though Bentre would be plagued by frustration and bouts of manic-depression, his efforts were not going unseen. The Clan had engaged briefly with [[Encounter At Citadel|Collective soldiers]] in the Telos system, and joined in the liberation of the [[Rite of Supremacy: Meridian|Meridian space station]] by the Dark Brotherhood. The Consul felt that the strikes against the Collective were too few in number, yet he still felt he could not justify the risk of a focused guerilla campaign against the faction which still held the Sadowan home system. Instead, the Consul and Summit tried to scheme how to put the Clan into the most advantageous position to bruise and bloody the cheek of the occupiers. This, and the other work of Stahoes earned him the attention of the Sons and Daughters of Sadow. Answering the summons of the former Grandmaster Keibatsu, Bentre fell to his knees. Though he Still feared the wrath of the Lion of Tarthos being kindled against him for the loss of Muz's beloved Tarthos, Bentre was not slain. Instead, he found himself being inducted into the esteemed ranks of those who bore the honor of being inducted into the ranks of the [[Sons & Daughters of Sadow]]. His works had been counted, and he had been deemed worthy.

===For the Honor of Sadow===
==== Operation: Antiquity ====
{{quote|There is something out there. It is ancient. It is powerful. It is Dark.|[[Macron Goura Sadow]]<ref>[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/clan-house-news-cns-pla-operation-antiquity-starting-monday-2-18 Operation: Antiquity Prologue Report Fiction]</ref>}}

[[Image:Operation antiquity landing cns.jpg|right| thumb| frame| 600px| then-Consul Overlord Stahoes and his [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu|Proconsul]] disembark from a shuttle as the Clan lands on [[Operation: Antiquity#Geography|Reliquary]] ]]

Despite the relative quiet of the larger Collective campaign, Bentre had continued to work for the betterment of the Sadowan Empire. Squadrons of Warhost Loyalists and Sadowans had been dispatched at his orders to scout out systems for potential avenues for new attacks or new allies. As these orders were being filled out, a small team came across a planet which would later be code-named Reliquary. A dark aura hung about the planet, a location seemingly frozen in time and oddly isolated from the rest of the galaxy. A cosmic anomaly kept the surface relatively untouched since the time of the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]], and the sensations felt by [[Macron Goura Sadow|Macron Goura]] from orbit drew the interest of both the Mad Alchemist, the Consul and the larger Clan Summit. Neither the Clan nor the Consul had given up their search for ancient treasures and relics of power, prompting the launch of [[Operation: Antiquity]].

The exact nature of the joint Operation was not wholly clear. The accounts of the events on the surface were varied and disjointed. Despite his presence on the surface, the Corellian Consul was quite distracted. The dark presence on the planet served to do two things to him: to cloud his perception of the Force, and it silently called to him. Resisting an urge to follow the siren's song of the Dark Side for a time, Stahoes was instead involved in the defense and establishment of the impromptu landing zone where the Clans would rendezvous and regroup. He had been one of the first to assist those who had suffered the attacks.

There were several objects that called to Stahoes despite his feigned disinterest. Instead, he tagged several of the artifacts for further studies. He would find a time to study them more in depth. They would yield their secrets. However, there was a bright spot to all that had happened on the surface. The Clans had been successful. The seeds of a potential alliance had been planted between Sadowans and Plagueians. The Sith Warlord began to consider the larger question: how long was too long? How long would they have to wait? With or without the forces of Clan Plagueis, how quickly was the time to reclaim their home?

====Rebels and Ruins====

{{quote| This poses a little more of a concern. I...We suspect that the temple's underlying dark side nexus may have corrupted anything still down there.|[[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu|Ashia Keibatsu]]<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DdfhQ5hjpiz2hjzjaCPd8LMpVmDnuqIJKx_3aztCND0/edit Rebels and Ruins Opening Fiction]</ref>}}

Searching the archives had already unveiled the potential for secrets to be found on the once-Rebel-base world of [[starwars:Yavin IV|Yavin IV]]. While the Overlord did not expect to discover a cache of hidden treasures, the presence of [[starwars:Massassi|Massassi]] temples had zeroed his attention on the world. Probe droids were dropped onto the surface at first, but the machines were disabled by an unknown influence on the planet. Be it the Dark Side, or some yet-unseen enemy hiding out in the Yavin jungles, Bentre Sadow was determined to uncover it and, if possible, control it for his own means.

The temples stood as a symbol of ancient Sith power, and the Sith would possess their secrets in whatever form they took. The Overlord was determined. He had already made plans for Clan Naga Sadow to return home. The Houses were working through the direction of their Quaestors, Proconsul and Rollmaster at his direction. The Collective would be removed from their place in the Orian System. The Sadowans would build a new seat of power in the system, to overshadow their former palace. They would have their own symbol of strength. They would display the strength of the Sadowan Empire.

==== War and Discord ====
{{quote|They will be reminded that the Brotherhood is not to be trifled with. We will remind them that Naga Sadow is a threat to be feared.

[[File:Gjw13 cns hype3.jpg|175px|left|thumb|[[Great Jedi War XIII]] propaganda depicting Bentre, then self-declared "Overlord"]]

The Sadowan success on [[Rebels and Ruins|Yavin IV]] and acquisition of plans to act upon had to be deferred despite the wishes of the Overlord and the Clan. Before leaving the planet, the Iron Throne called upon the Overlord and the services promised, honoring the promises upheld by their head following the disaster of .<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byuxgyuf9uiEclZiTDhZemFLMURxNE9hMTAzUTJGOGJCaU9z/view Rebels and Ruins Closing Fiction]</ref> The Fleet which had been reinforced by the Grand Master himself, and as such Bentre could not turn away from the call to action in the Lyra-3k-a system. Given the order to play the part of a show navy, the Clans gathered in the Lyra-3k-a system. At first, it seemed like the appearance was little more than diplomatic posturing. However, a false flag attack executed by brain-washed POWs under Collective control forced the Clans and Brotherhood into a bitter conflict

The Overlord, unsatisfied to play a commander from afar while his Clan put their lives on the line, prepared for war with the Collective, and potentially with the [[Severian Principate]] who had suffered the Collective attack. Naga Sadow would land at the [[Lyra-3K-a_system#Lyra_colony|Lyra colony]], where they attempted to secure the ruins which were encased in the earth below the colony. The operation was largely successful, but it appeared that the Clan had escaped the ruins below with little more than their lives. An explosive had also caught Bentre in its radius, which heavily wounded the human, shearing both arms from his torso and leaving bloody streaks behind him. It would be thanks to the tender cares of his Clan-mates and [[Taka "Doc" Kuroshin]] that the Corellian Sith would survive the incident, however painfully. Rather than giving into the pain, or blunting it, Bentre chose to use it as a fuel for the fire which burned within him. The Clan had been wandering for long enough. During his forced inactivity during his recovery, a decision was made. The Clan had come together at the beck and call of the Iron Throne, and for their sacrifice they deserved a greater prize.

The time had come to return home.

====Homefront====

The War with the Collective was not restricted to just the Orian system. While the Sadowans were successful in liberating their home system, a call to arms was put out by Grand Master Telaris Cantor in 38 ABY. Finding more to be gained by going along with the Grand Master's desires, Bentre would order the Clan to deploy a portion of their forces to the Arx system in defense of the Brotherhood's capital system. The Sadowan Warhost Fleet was first deployed to defend and assist the station and personnel of the [[Nesolat|Nesolat platform]]. Though the Brotherhood's forces were successful in defending the station from destruction by the Collective, they were unable to prevent the station from descending from orbit. Ultimately, the station was brought down near the Shadow Academy and the Consul was separated from his larger Clan. The conflict had offered the Sadow something he had sorely lacked in his many months seated as the Overlord of Clan Naga Sadow. He had been able to sate his lust for combat. It stirred something in him he had not realized that he had so deeply longed for.

====Trouble in the Sepros System====
{{Quote|For decades, we have been guiding the Orian system. Today, such clandestine manipulations end. We are an empire people, and now it is time to return to the Golden Age we all deserve."

[[File:Tribune Sadow Slicer 14185.jpg|250px|right|thumb|The Sadowan Overlord kept a vigilant eye on the Clan and Brotherhood even in his off hours]]

When the Sith and his Clan returned to the Orian System, something began to bother the Sadow. Clan Naga Sadow had been operating as a shadow government for years. While the Clan had not suffered from a crippling weakness, there was something to be said for a show of strength.

Clan Naga Sadow began to become more aggressive in its pursuits of enemies of the common Orianite good. More than that, a decision was made that the Sadowan Empire stop operating from the shadows. Bentre Stahoes announced himself to the people of the system and revealed his Clan as the real powers behind the government and military in the system. The stability of the system was reaching a potential teetering point. Now that the Clan was no longer depended on the fear of faceless stormtroopers like the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]] of Palpatine's time. The Overlord, and by extension the Sadowan Empire, offered security to the loyal few who served their government faithfully. He also promised destruction to those who would oppose their benefactors.

Despite this, this revelation did not serve as intended. Instead of being cowed or convinced by the proclamation, rebels and enemies of the Orian system came out of the woodworks. Several disturbed infrastructure of the Orian system, prompting a retaliatory counterstrike by the Sadowan Warhost at the behest of Overlord Stahoes. Once this relatively small uprising had been addressed, the new year did not bring the greatest prosperity for the system. The appearance of the [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/16363 Incursion] by the Sigmas into Sadowan space threatened the very existence of the Clan Naga Sadow as well as the citizenry of their territory. This brush with oblivion would be followed by the appearance of mysterious [[starwars:Carrack-class light cruiser|Carrack warships]] in the system and the eventual appearance of the [[The Unchained|Unchained]] in the system in early [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#39 ABY|39 ABY]]. As not one, but two Unchained attacks followed the appearances, Bentre Stahoes felt further driven to seek out even more ancient avenues of power. He even took on the position of Professor in the [[Shadow Academy]] once again in order to maximize the resources he had in his hunt.

The voice in the back of his head had been getting louder with each day. It became increasingly more demanding.

===Corruption From Within and Without===
====Escalation====
Clan Naga Sadow continued to rebuild from the destruction wrought by the Collective. Under the diminished leadership and control of Bentre as Consul, the Orian system still worked towards a brighter future. This forward momentum was halted for a time. It would be in 39 ABY that the conflict between the [[Severian Principate]] and the [[Tenixir Revenants]] came to a head, and threw previous machinations out the window. A bounty of crystals came to the attention of the Brotherhood.

The Grand Master ordered members of the Brotherhood to back the disparate groups at their own pleasure. Though Stahoes suspected some greater ploy, he would back the ‘’Restorers’’ faction of the Principate. Though the defeat of this faction would lead to the retreat of the Brotherhood from the conflict, there was one element that the Corellian Sith would see mention of again sooner than he expected: the crystals. The power of the crystals were something to behold, and served to only drive Bentre to look more deeply into esoteric methods to attain power.

====Absolute Power====

As the Consul, and having fully seized upon the title of Overlord of Clan Naga Sadow, Bentre’s research finally seemed to pique. Between his work in arcane construction, ritual magics, artifacts, history and Sith Alchemy it seemed that new secrets were finally unfolding themselves before him. Untold hours were poured into work and study through both ink and bone, flesh and blood before an enormous ritual was discovered. By constructing a new, final temple on the planet Sepros, Bentre Stahoes was able to redirect the planet’s dark side energies. Rather than flowing around the planet, the Equite was able to redirect the energy around the planet, flowing into the new [[Temple of Darkness]].

Seating himself in a throne in the core of this temple laid according to his design, the Force’s flow was altered. Whereas the Dark Side was strong on Sepros, it typically would flow around the planet. With his prodding, he caused it to flow through him. By bearing the great physical burden placed upon both his body and his mind, Bentre Stahoes found himself host to greater heights of power than he had ever expected. Thanks to the work of his Proconsul Darkhawk, Bentre even had the time necessary to complete a lengthy ritual.

Just as he had paved the way for his own power, Bentre took the time to destroy the path and to obscure its way. The Temple was still the key, and future Consuls could find its secrets with enough work. They too could ascend. Or the wisdom would perish. Either way, he was determined not to just hand over the keys to whomever would come after him.

It was also in this time of relative peace that Bentre Stahoes began to research into ways to better twist the Dark Side to his will. He began to look for more creative and demoralizing ways to destroy his enemies. His suspicions cast upon the galaxy deepened and ripened into a deep paranoia. Even though he would still say that he trusted his right-hand man in Takagari KogaRyu, he began to suspect even his most trusted ally. With each new permutation or minor discovery, Bentre Stahoes became more and more secretive and untrusting of Naga Sadow. He did not even take the time to announce his latest project in [[40 ABY to 49 ABY#40 ABY|40 ABY]] before Brotherhood-wide conflict pulled him from his singular focus of study.

==Personal File==
=== Physical Data ===
[[File:14185-Bentre Robes.png|thumb|left|the Overlord's ceremonial armor|120px]]
Bentre is a slightly taller-than-average human. His dark hair typically covers part of his face, obscuring his left eye and the claw-like scarring around it. Similar scars also line above and below his right eye. These are but one of two souvenirs left on the Sith by then-Rollmaster, [[Atra Ventus|Anima]]. The other is the [[starwars:tuk'ata|Tuk'atan]] eye that replaced the left eye ruined by Anima’s vicious attack.

The missing eye is not an obvious feature in most situations, however, as Bentre has become quite adept at altering his appearance via the Force to hide its glowing appearance beneath the facade of a typical, brown-irised eyeball. His arms once bore the pain-etched tales of an encounter with another apprentice<ref>[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/acc/battles/244 ACC Battle versus Tasha’Vel Versea]</ref> around the circumference of one wrist and in the missing two-thirds of an arm which resulted from an incident with a mystical shard.<ref>[https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/t/cns-awakenings-runon/904/34 Awakenings event, on Dentavii]</ref> An unfortunate accident during the [[Thirteenth Great Jedi War|action]] in the [[Lyra-3K-a_system]]<ref>[https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/t/gjwxiii-naga-sadow-run-on/2210/26 Naga Sadow's GJW XIII Clan Run On]</ref> forced the Son of Sadow to depend upon a pair of new cybernetic replacements for both arms.

His clothing of choice on the rare occasion when he is not on duty is a white undershirt below a jacket of bantha hide, and simple pants. Though even in such simple clothing, he still manages to carry himself with an air of obvious self-importance.
Otherwise, Bentre is typically seen wearing an almost ceremonial armor bearing the crest of his Clan or his personalized set of dark armor. It is worth noting that he does occasionally don a set of ancient Sith armor, but that is saved for the gravest of ceremonies.

===Relationship Data===
{{Quote|You really have to hand it to them. They managed to hone themselves into this great fighting force without using the Force as a crutch.|Bentre Kairn'tel Stahoes upon evaluating the Warhost}}

Bentre holds his Clan dearly, and his relationship with those who called themselves Versea even more so. Of particular note is former Consul [[Sanguinius Tsucyra|Sangiunius]], whom the Sith has formed a particularly close friendship with despite the seeming disparity between their attitudes. [[Aul Celsus]], Jurdan Krennel, [[Armad]] and a number of others have garnered respect ranging from grudging to great. As the reality of his position sunk in for the Corellian, he chose to forget old rivalries among his fellow clan. The responsibilities to the Clan were more important than such trite matters.

[[File:Versea family picnic.jpeg|thumb|right|300 px|Bentre enjoys a meal with his [[Tasha'Vel Versea|wife]] and daughter during a picnic on [[Sepros]], [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#39 ABY|39 ABY]]]]

Deeper than his relationships in the Clan at large are those who count themselves as Versea. From his former apprentice [[Janos Stormwind|Firith’rar]], to [[Lilith Stormwind|Lilith]] to [[Drae'lath Rahath|his new brother]], or even the largely reclusive [[Jason Kane]], he would gladly jump to the aid of any member of his family should the call go out. Bentre also has started a rough relationship with the bastard child of a childhood fling. Still, whether adopted into the family, married into it, or born into it, Bentre treasures all Versea alike.

Even among the individuals who comprise the likes of the Warhost, Mercenaries and Loyalists alike, seem to gather Bentre's respect more often than not. He has repeatedly said that he can appreciate a professional who manages to hone their body into a powerful tool. While weakness may gather his disdain, he does not hold such limitations against those who have proven their loyalty in service. His greatest enmity seems to be held for those who turn on him and his, both family and Clan. The others, including the weakling Jedi Order which continuously tries to defy Pravus, he counts more as rivals in one form or another than enemies. As such, he does not warrant them worthy of disgust.

He has developed an odd variety of relationships with members of the Dark Brotherhood at large. Despite his little tiff with [[Edgar Drachen]] for example, he would buy the man a drink if their paths crossed again. Bentre also has a strained working relationship with members of the Lotus. In particular, he holds a respect for some such as [[Shadow Nighthunter]], despite external loyalties, for their devotion to the former fight against Pravus.

Bentre also possesses some notable ''professional'' relationships with current and former members of the Dark Council. He possesses what could be considered a grudging respect for [[Telaris "Mav" Cantor|Telaris Cantor]] as former Grand Master, for example but has a more than amicable relationship with former Headmaster [[Farrin Xies]]. There are others, like Herald [[Selika Roh]]. Stahoes had served under Roh before taking up the mantle of [[Wiki Tribune|Master of Holocrons]] for himself. The time working together has cemented a respect for the woman in the heart of the Corellian Sith.

===Noteworthy Possessions===

[[File:Quadjumper.png|thumb|300px|left|a Collective quadrajet transport, stripped of explosives and claimed by Bentre]]

Bentre chooses to live a remarkably spartan lifestyle. Were it not for his wife, his quarters would be rather bare, save for a few mementos such as the Sith Sword he earned from his studies or the Holocrons collected over time. For him the act of furnishing outside of necessity becomes a waste of time. His most valued possessions include his first lightsaber, his custom-built lightsaber, his datapad, his vibroknife and his [[item:45547|S-5 blaster pistol]]. He also has an older model blaster that he keeps in a chest in his office aboard the Warhost's Perdition along with other weapons once kept safely in the [[Temple of Blood]].

[[File:BottleofSadow.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Bentre's [[Bottles of Sadow|Bottle]]]]
What could be considered an oddity among the equipment he keeps in his quarters on Sepros would include the [[item: 47403|Sith Helm]] he keeps as a reminder of his service period where he was tasked with guarding the Grand Master, Pravus. He keeps it to remind himself of the peril which the Versea, his Clan and the Brotherhood have suffered at the orders of the Grand Master. Other equipment- explosives, [[item: 46519|synthflesh dispenser]], [[item: 46446|voice modulator]] and even a [[item: 50810|repulsor belt]] are simple tools of his trade as a Shadow. He has also started to gather a growing collection of momentos and spoils of war he has gathered in his time with the Brotherhood. This has included a Collective [[starwars:TUG-b13|quadrijet transfer transport]] he had liberated following [[Great Jedi War XIII|the action in the Lyra-3K-a system]]. He keeps most of the pieces either in the ruins of the Temple of Sorrow or in storage at the [[Versea Estate]]. To his personal chagrin, he does not often get to practice this role within the Brotherhood. His time is more often taken up with his roles as Consul and as [[Wiki Tribune|Master of Holocrons]].

Particularly notable among his possessions, is the coveted [[Bottles of Sadow|Bottle of Sadow]] that Bentre Kairn'tel recieved upon his induction into the circle of Clan title holders of Naga Sadow. This item is kept in a secured location in his office aboard the Clan's [[item:46090|Imperial II Star Destroyer]] Perdition. Since its acquisition, there have been whispers that Bentre spends long nights testing the full capabilities of his own bottle.

===Skill Sets and Training===
Bentre Stahoes specializes in Slicing, Subterfuge, Sith Alchemy and lightsaber combat. He focuses on the use of the "''simple''" form of [[starwars:Shii-Cho|Shii-Cho]] in combat and takes a great interest in artifacts and antiquities of the Sith. He is also interested in the culture and practices of other Force-Sensitive groups such as the Jedi. This is born not out of a desire to emulate them but rather to understand them from a more scholarly perspective. Stahoes has some extensive practice with blaster weapons- a skill that has unfortunately deteriorated due to his extended focus on the lightsaber.

[[File:Bentre Ferra Warbanner.png‎|thumb|left|Warbanner of the Overlord, circa [[40 ABY to 49 ABY#40 ABY|40 ABY]]|150px]]

Besides the training he received as a member of the [[Grand Master's Royal Guard]], Stahoes has also trained though grown woefully out of practice in the basics of Echani martial arts. His endeavors to improve his combat abilities were rewarded on the six occasions in which he acted as a Royal Guardsman to a member of the Dark Council: to Darth Pravus, to Cethgus, to Telaris Cantor, to Master at Arms [[Howlader]], to the Brotherhood's Voice [[Idris Adenn]] and then most recently to Darth Nephalum. Even during the periods when he had ceased to act in an official capacity with the [[Shadow Academy]], he still managed to accomplish some study in his free time on various subjects in his efforts to extend his own base of knowledge. He has found also found his seat as [[Wiki Tribune|Keeper of Holocrons]] of particular use in this pursuit.

===Organizations and Fraternities===
Of note, Bentre Sadow has consistently served the Grand Master's Royal Guard, and taken on the role of guarding the lives of many Dark Councilors in both a ceremonial and a literal capacity. The Corellian has also worked with the [[Shroud Syndicate]] for the benefit of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] for a time before his [[consul|Consul-ship]], retains a position of some esteem as a formerly active [[Inquisitorius|Inquisitor]] and has served the Brotherhood in a few academic capacities. Bentre has served a professorship in two distinct departments of the [[Shadow Academy]]. He is known as the keeper and collator of Dark Brotherhood files and records, acting as a keeper of the stacks for the Grand Master, being called upon to ensure that records remain up to date and in proper order. Beyond the positions that have been afforded to him under the authority of the larger Dark Council, as an [[Elder]], Stahoes became a Research Director within the [[Aurora Collegium of Sciences]]. His particular areas of expertise include [[starwars:Sith Alchemy|Sith Alchemy]], [[starwars: Sith Magic|Sith Rituals]] and Ancient Force-related Artifacts with a focus on biological applications.

'''Bentre''' (also known as Benny, previously as Zachary or "Sparta") is a the former [[Consul]] of Clan [[Naga Sadow]] and a former [[Wiki Tribune]]. He considers himself a fair writer, a barely passable artist, enjoys watching movies, trips to the beach when possible, walking through the woods with his wife and child and speculating on stupid minute details like whether the Enterprise could really even begin to square up against an Imperial Star Destroyer, or how many Sith it would take to topple the infrastructure of a planet. When he isn't getting whipped on by his the Dark Council he can usually be found chilling out to whatever pops up on his playlist.

== Characters ==
===Core Characters===
===="Bentre Stahoes"====
'''[[Bentre Stahoes]]''' - His current character, Bentre was the first Dark Jedi Brotherhood character Bentre used and one could would argue in a way the strongest. Benny tried to fight the trope of being a lightsaber-wielding space wizard, but that changed a bit as the character developed. Bentre still takes a note from both Han Solo and Malcolm Reynolds, but an attempt was made to make him into his own entity. Bentre's insanity, talkative nature and his quickness with a blaster may be a boon at times though may prove a liability at others. Following the destruction of Boyna, this Sith swore to get an eventual vengeance upon then-Grand Master Pravus, whom he considered insane for the deaths of his Obelisk brethren. The memories of marching against the Obelisk under the orders of the Brotherhood haunt him mercilessly. At one point he had hoped to deliver some of his kin from destruction. His nerve was not strong enough and he was consequentially unable to do anything to sway the battle elsewhere.

Over time, Bentre Stahoes would climb up the ranks of his Clan. Starting as a member of [[Sapphire Squadron]], he would in time take command of the [[Devil's Shroud]] Battleteam. He would move up from Battle Team Leader to Aedile, serving in this position for some time. His gumption would find him appointed to the position of the Clan's Rollmaster, where he would serve faithfully for several months.The death of [[Marcus Kiriyu]] and later the departure [[Jax Bendal]] would allow Bentre to ascend to the position of Proconsul with the approval of [[Sanguinius Tsucyra]]. This is where he remained, quite content to serve his fellow Sadowans. It would be after the events of Inferno, that Sanguinius would step down and Bentre was selected by the permission of the Dark Council to step into his former mentor's shoes and into the office of Consul. With his attention further split, his service to the office of the Headmaster would be brought to an end after a change in regime in said office. This would leave him to continue his service as merely the [[Wiki Tribune|Master of Holocrons]] and the Consul of Clan Naga Sadow. He had one goal as Consul: to restore the glory of Sadow, in his eyes the original Sith Empire. Whether he should live or perish, he had all intentions to start this restoration by returning his Clan to their former home once again.

----

===="Zachary O'Maille"====
'''[[Zachary O'Maille]]''' - Former character and current NPC. Is actually a twist on a previous character Benny previously RP'd within the Freeworlds mod. Whereas the original O'Maille was a Republic soldier turned Jedi (though very only very briefly New Republic), this version has never been particularly given to the Jedi way. Both played the Jedi part for a while but while one rose to become a Knight the one in the DJB spurned the Jedi teaching and lamented their ignorance. Both suffer a dark taint, one through his father and the other as a result of his wife's death. O'Maille prefers to resolve things through words, but never turns away from a fight he deems necessary, though he will try to spare a life if he believes the person is of use or may be coverted/redeemed in some way- though his definition of redemption may make some wish he would kill them. Zachary came into the Orian system by will of the Force, and he was selected to serve as Aedile of House Shar Dakhan. Zachary would be deposed by Bentre at a later date. He would disappear from public sight when the Orian system was seized by the Collective in 34 ABY.

===Minor Characters===

These would include some more gimmicky or characters on a whim. Some were planned to become more significant NPCs, while others filled rolls like giving Bentre a student to focus on even while he served as the Clan's Consul during his tenure. One such example of a student was [[Lav'anre]]. By contrast, one could observe [[Cimozjen Kurios]] as an example of one who would fill a roll of whimsy when a more 'traditional' space wizard was needed without descending into fuzzy Jedi nonsense. It could be argued however, that the seer or psychic angle makes him appear more foolish than was initially intended. Another character included [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/character_sheets/12667 Kris Stahoes], the half-human, half-zeltron bastard child of a young trouble-making Stahoes. Of a minor note, you could point to [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/character_sheets/10987 Gin Voca], a rather two-dimensional mercenary that Bentre sometimes ran around with.

== RL Stuff ==
===Childhood===
Benny started his Star Wars obsession at a very early age, having seen Episode IV and instantly becoming enamored. As a child he fantasized about having a lightsaber, traveling the galaxy and seeing its wonders and splendor. In high school his excitement piqued when he came across a novel for Star Wars, the New Jedi Order: Vector Prime. In the last few years of high school, Benny would start collecting as many of the New Jedi Order books as he could from the local book store, and even began to write some short stories of his own- though little came of that.

===College and Freeworlds===
It wouldn't be until his Freshman year of college that Benny would be introduced to the game Freelancer, and a TC (or total conversion) mod for the game called ''[http://www.freeworlds.us Freeworlds (18.xx)]''- which he would play in the evenings after classes on a private server. Still the man desired a little more. One and a half years later, Bentre found himself leaving college due to financial and academic troubles. During a vacation the summer after, he remembered Freeworlds and on a whim, googled the mod. Lone behold, the mod and its community seemed to still be kicking. Excited, Bentre downloaded the current version of the mod, installed it, joined the forums, and played into the wee hours of the morning as his family slept. A new fascination occurred as Bentre found himself first applying to join the New Republic, and flying about the game's Coruscant system looking for adventure. It would be at a ship Mon Calamari ship and in game base, the Wavefront (or "Wafflefront" as it was known to Freeworlds players, also known as 'Freeworlders') that he would meet his first Jedi. The player, whose name is lost to antiquity, forum wipes and website changes, offered Bentre- then going by the handle ''Old_Sparta'' and later ''Sparta''- the chance to join the game's Jedi Order. Ecstatic, the man accepted.

Quickly he crafted a persona, got involved with the community, and eventually rose to be a leader of both an NPC "News" faction run by Freeworlders, Server Police (what the name says on the tin), and even a member of the Jedi Council (after a schism split the sinking community again). Though he went on to become the President of the New Republic in the later '''[http://www.freeworldstidesofwar.com Freeworlds: Tides of War]''' mod, but after becoming disillusioned, he left the community to find his own path. It wouldn't be until years later when an old friend, '''Marcus Kiriyu''' would tell him about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. [[user:Marcus Kiriyu|Marcus]] quickly recruited Bentre, and thus on April 8th, 2015 a new age was born.
===Dark Jedi Jedi Brotherhood Stuff===
====Joining the DJB====
The persona of Bentre Stahoes was created and Benny tried to throw himself into many aspects of the Brotherhood: the [[ACC]], the [[Shadow Academy]], the [[Grand Master's Royal Guard|GMRG]], the [[Inquisitorius]] and fiction activities and competitions throughout the Brotherhood. He would get his first taste of Run-ons in the Clan Naga Sadow and Clan Scholae Palatinae joint event, [[Red Fury]]. Though he came in after the start of the event he managed to place in a few events and managed to impress his Battleteam Leader well enough that he was presented with his first merit award, a Dark Cross. As time went on, Bentre continued to keep pushing the envelope, pushing for promotions through early ranks as quickly as possible and participating in anything that he was able.

====Early Accomplishments====
His persistence would pay off, as he was eventually positioned as a Battle Team Leader, later becoming an Aedile within House [[Shar Dakhan]] and taking on other positions as mentioned in the table at the bottom of the page. He also achieved Eleventh Echelon of the Grand Master's Royal Guard twice, first protecting [[Darth Pravus]] and later [[Cethgus Tiberius Entar]] when he served as FIST- before the Eleventh and Twelfth Echelons became static and he joined the members of the Twelfth permanently.

===="The Journey Continues"====

Bentre continues his efforts to help mentor and serve his members to this day. Only time will tell to what heights or what lows he will achieve in the process. In this spirit he has mentored two students to the Rank of [[Knight]], also having won an event or two, and attempted to make his page more appealing by borrowing (possibly "ripping off") the appealing design of [[User:Selika|Slagar]]'s page.

=== Image Quality ===
(Nabbed from [[User:Selika|Selika's page]])

Yes, it's nice to have the best image quality possible. But, it also is a good thing to have the lowest file size possible to get that quality. Bandwidth doesn't grow on trees, and doing everything we can to minimize it makes the people that have to worry about that sort of thing happy campers. So, if the image doesn't require transparency, why use a larger PNG file? Use an optimized JPG to reduce file size. In one article alone the change from PNG's to JPG's netted a change in KB size for the affected images from 836kb to 120kb. You might say who cares about 700kb, but that's one article, and over several can add up. Then, with the number of times articles can be viewed... well, you get the idea. Bandwidth usage 12% of what we had is always good.

The following tools are essential:
*[http://www.ardfry.com/pngoutwin PNGOutWin]: For optimizing PNG files for size and compatibility. Be sure to select both compatibility options in the preferences. Some PNG implementations are more retarded than others, and PNGOutWin compensates for just about all of them. If you must (for the love of pete) use a PNG.

This sprawling luxurious diplomatic and trade station has many amenities and attractions designed to delight and impress our honored guests. Built by the Sadowan Empire to meet the needs of visitors and diplomats alike, it was constructed by order of [[DarkHawk Sadow|Darkhawk Takaragi Sadow]] and [[Muz Ashen Keibatsu]] to serve the Orian system's ruling clan.

== History ==
First opening in [[40 ABY to 49 ABY#43 ABY|43 ABY]], the station's grand opening provided an invite to persons across the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] as a whole. As such, the opening was marked by visitors spanning from across the Brotherhood, as well as choice members of the [[Dark Council]] of the time.

==Amenities==
===The Hanger===
A standard issue prefabricated imperial-style hangar is everyone’s first impression. Gleaming and polished, the high gloss sheen reflects the perfectly tuned lights for all who disembark here. For those who have ships too large for the hangar, a flight of transports awaits your call.
===The Lobby===
Directly off of the Hangar is the Hub of the station, a well-appointed lobby with exotic plants, impeccable decor, and helpful staff. Lavish suites, rooms, and private conference halls are available to hire at the counter, and a number of well-trained concierges can see to any need, large or small. Turbolifts from the lobby provide access to the other amenities.
===The Devaronian’s Dice===
This Casino takes inspiration from Canto Bight, with many games of chance available for its patrons. Try your hand at Pazaak, Sabacc, and slot machines. Have a cocktail at one of our many bars, or watch our holofeeds displaying sporting events from every corner of the galaxy, from Huttball and Limmie to Podracing and the Colossus Special. Prefer your action a little bit more close-up? A fighting ring has gladiators from many different disciplines, fighting it out for pride, title and cash prizes.

===The Seven Salts Spa===
If relaxation and recovery are what draws you here, the Seven Salts Spa is just what the doctor ordered. With salt scrubs from Manaan to soothe your skin and Myrati massages to tame the angriest of muscles, you can finally relax. If a touch of Nature is what would hit the spot, sit for a moment in our meditation gardens and enjoy air filtered by our curated flora. Or just go for a swim and enjoy a steam bath afterwards.

===Sadow's Seal===
If socialization is more your idea of a good time, the nightclub known as Sadow’s Seal will scratch that itch nicely. With a state of the art sound and lighting system, a wide dance floor, and the best drinks in three hundred parsecs, you can make new friends or have fun with old ones. With live performers regularly scheduled, a wide variety of entertainment is always available.

===Trader’s Row===
Luxury goods and services abound in our immaculately designed shopping sector.

'''Bentre''' (also known as Benny, previously as Zachary or "Sparta") is a the former [[Consul]] of Clan [[Naga Sadow]] and the club's sitting [[Wiki Tribune]]. He considers himself a fair writer, a barely passable artist, enjoys watching movies, trips to the beach when possible, walking through the woods with his wife and child and speculating on stupid minute details like whether the Enterprise could really even begin to square up against an Imperial Star Destroyer, or how many Sith it would take to topple the infrastructure of a planet. When he isn't getting whipped on by his the Dark Council he can usually be found chilling out to whatever pops up on his playlist.

== Characters ==
===Core Characters===
===="Bentre Stahoes"====
'''[[Bentre Stahoes]]''' - His current character, Bentre was the first Dark Jedi Brotherhood character Bentre used and one could would argue in a way the strongest. Benny tried to fight the trope of being a lightsaber-wielding space wizard, but that changed a bit as the character developed. Bentre still takes a note from both Han Solo and Malcolm Reynolds, but an attempt was made to make him into his own entity. Bentre's insanity, talkative nature and his quickness with a blaster may be a boon at times though may prove a liability at others. Following the destruction of Boyna, this Sith swore to get an eventual vengeance upon then-Grand Master Pravus, whom he considered insane for the deaths of his Obelisk brethren. The memories of marching against the Obelisk under the orders of the Brotherhood haunt him mercilessly. At one point he had hoped to deliver some of his kin from destruction. His nerve was not strong enough and he was consequentially unable to do anything to sway the battle elsewhere.

Over time, Bentre Stahoes would climb up the ranks of his Clan. Starting as a member of [[Sapphire Squadron]], he would in time take command of the [[Devil's Shroud]] Battleteam. He would move up from Battle Team Leader to Aedile, serving in this position for some time. His gumption would find him appointed to the position of the Clan's Rollmaster, where he would serve faithfully for several months.The death of [[Marcus Kiriyu]] and later the departure [[Jax Bendal]] would allow Bentre to ascend to the position of Proconsul with the approval of [[Sanguinius Tsucyra]]. This is where he remained, quite content to serve his fellow Sadowans. It would be after the events of Inferno, that Sanguinius would step down and Bentre was selected by the permission of the Dark Council to step into his former mentor's shoes and into the office of Consul. With his attention further split, his service to the office of the Headmaster would be brought to an end after a change in regime in said office. This would leave him to continue his service as merely the [[Wiki Tribune|Master of Holocrons]] and the Consul of Clan Naga Sadow. He had one goal as Consul: to restore the glory of Sadow, in his eyes the original Sith Empire. Whether he should live or perish, he had all intentions to start this restoration by returning his Clan to their former home once again.

----

===="Zachary O'Maille"====
'''[[Zachary O'Maille]]''' - Former character and current NPC. Is actually a twist on a previous character Benny previously RP'd within the Freeworlds mod. Whereas the original O'Maille was a Republic soldier turned Jedi (though very only very briefly New Republic), this version has never been particularly given to the Jedi way. Both played the Jedi part for a while but while one rose to become a Knight the one in the DJB spurned the Jedi teaching and lamented their ignorance. Both suffer a dark taint, one through his father and the other as a result of his wife's death. O'Maille prefers to resolve things through words, but never turns away from a fight he deems necessary, though he will try to spare a life if he believes the person is of use or may be coverted/redeemed in some way- though his definition of redemption may make some wish he would kill them. Zachary came into the Orian system by will of the Force, and he was selected to serve as Aedile of House Shar Dakhan. Zachary would be deposed by Bentre at a later date. He would disappear from public sight when the Orian system was seized by the Collective in 34 ABY.

===Minor Characters===

These would include some more gimmicky or characters on a whim. Some were planned to become more significant NPCs, while others filled rolls like giving Bentre a student to focus on even while he served as the Clan's Consul during his tenure. One such example of a student was [[Lav'anre]]. By contrast, one could observe [[Cimozjen Kurios]] as an example of one who would fill a roll of whimsy when a more 'traditional' space wizard was needed without descending into fuzzy Jedi nonsense. It could be argued however, that the seer or psychic angle makes him appear more foolish than was initially intended. Another character included [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/character_sheets/12667 Kris Stahoes], the half-human, half-zeltron bastard child of a young trouble-making Stahoes. Of a minor note, you could point to [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/character_sheets/10987 Gin Voca], a rather two-dimensional mercenary that Bentre sometimes ran around with.

----

== RL Stuff ==
===Childhood===
Benny started his Star Wars obsession at a very early age, having seen Episode IV and instantly becoming enamored. As a child he fantasized about having a lightsaber, traveling the galaxy and seeing its wonders and splendor. In high school his excitement piqued when he came across a novel for Star Wars, the New Jedi Order: Vector Prime. In the last few years of high school, Benny would start collecting as many of the New Jedi Order books as he could from the local book store, and even began to write some short stories of his own- though little came of that.

===College and Freeworlds===
It wouldn't be until his Freshman year of college that Benny would be introduced to the game Freelancer, and a TC (or total conversion) mod for the game called ''[http://www.freeworlds.us Freeworlds (18.xx)]''- which he would play in the evenings after classes on a private server. Still the man desired a little more. One and a half years later, Bentre found himself leaving college due to financial and academic troubles. During a vacation the summer after, he remembered Freeworlds and on a whim, googled the mod. Lone behold, the mod and its community seemed to still be kicking. Excited, Bentre downloaded the current version of the mod, installed it, joined the forums, and played into the wee hours of the morning as his family slept. A new fascination occurred as Bentre found himself first applying to join the New Republic, and flying about the game's Coruscant system looking for adventure. It would be at a ship Mon Calamari ship and in game base, the Wavefront (or "Wafflefront" as it was known to Freeworlds players, also known as 'Freeworlders') that he would meet his first Jedi. The player, whose name is lost to antiquity, forum wipes and website changes, offered Bentre- then going by the handle ''Old_Sparta'' and later ''Sparta''- the chance to join the game's Jedi Order. Ecstatic, the man accepted.

Quickly he crafted a persona, got involved with the community, and eventually rose to be a leader of both an NPC "News" faction run by Freeworlders, Server Police (what the name says on the tin), and even a member of the Jedi Council (after a schism split the sinking community again). Though he went on to become the President of the New Republic in the later '''[http://www.freeworldstidesofwar.com Freeworlds: Tides of War]''' mod, but after becoming disillusioned, he left the community to find his own path. It wouldn't be until years later when an old friend, '''Marcus Kiriyu''' would tell him about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. [[user:Marcus Kiriyu|Marcus]] quickly recruited Bentre, and thus on April 8th, 2015 a new age was born.
===Dark Jedi Jedi Brotherhood Stuff===
====Joining the DJB====
The persona of Bentre Stahoes was created and Benny tried to throw himself into many aspects of the Brotherhood: the [[ACC]], the [[Shadow Academy]], the [[Grand Master's Royal Guard|GMRG]], the [[Inquisitorius]] and fiction activities and competitions throughout the Brotherhood. He would get his first taste of Run-ons in the Clan Naga Sadow and Clan Scholae Palatinae joint event, [[Red Fury]]. Though he came in after the start of the event he managed to place in a few events and managed to impress his Battleteam Leader well enough that he was presented with his first merit award, a Dark Cross. As time went on, Bentre continued to keep pushing the envelope, pushing for promotions through early ranks as quickly as possible and participating in anything that he was able.

====Early Accomplishments====
His persistence would pay off, as he was eventually positioned as a Battle Team Leader, later becoming an Aedile within House [[Shar Dakhan]] and taking on other positions as mentioned in the table at the bottom of the page. He also achieved Eleventh Echelon of the Grand Master's Royal Guard twice, first protecting [[Darth Pravus]] and later [[Cethgus Tiberius Entar]] when he served as FIST- before the Eleventh and Twelfth Echelons became static and he joined the members of the Twelfth permanently.

===="The Journey Continues"====

Bentre continues his efforts to help mentor and serve his members to this day. Only time will tell to what heights or what lows he will achieve in the process. In this spirit he has mentored two students to the Rank of [[Knight]], also having won an event or two, and attempted to make his page more appealing by borrowing (possibly "ripping off") the appealing design of [[User:Selika|Slagar]]'s page.

=== Image Quality ===
(Nabbed from [[User:Selika|Selika's page]])

Yes, it's nice to have the best image quality possible. But, it also is a good thing to have the lowest file size possible to get that quality. Bandwidth doesn't grow on trees, and doing everything we can to minimize it makes the people that have to worry about that sort of thing happy campers. So, if the image doesn't require transparency, why use a larger PNG file? Use an optimized JPG to reduce file size. In one article alone the change from PNG's to JPG's netted a change in KB size for the affected images from 836kb to 120kb. You might say who cares about 700kb, but that's one article, and over several can add up. Then, with the number of times articles can be viewed... well, you get the idea. Bandwidth usage 12% of what we had is always good.

The following tools are essential:
*[http://www.ardfry.com/pngoutwin PNGOutWin]: For optimizing PNG files for size and compatibility. Be sure to select both compatibility options in the preferences. Some PNG implementations are more retarded than others, and PNGOutWin compensates for just about all of them. If you must (for the love of pete) use a PNG.
*[http://www.xat.com/jpegopt/index.html Xat JPEG Optimizer]: For optimizing JPEGs singly or in batches.

'''Atticus Corsca''' is a Jedi who found his way in Dark Brotherhood space in [[40 ABY to 49 ABY|43 ABY]]. The Force guided the poor, lost Padawan to the site of the [[Sol'Vida Farm]], where he ran into [[Rue]], Vance Whitlock and several members of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and its affiliates. He fully expected when being told that Sith were amongst their members that he would be slain where he stood but was surprised to find them more than welcoming.

Following his brief experience on [[Kasiya]], Atticus set out on a journey of self-discovery. He wanted to understand many things: how the common people lived life without a dependence on the Force, what love meant, what love beyond service looked like, to discover what friendships could be found in the galaxy at large, and even to find out what things he had missed while his worldview had been so narrowly set.
==Biographical Data==
===Early Life===
His earliest memories were with his mother on Ryloth. His parents had made a quiet life there. His childhood was happy enough, if a bit simple, until he met a Chiss Jedi. The woman sensed the potential for the Force in young Atticus. She offered his parents to offer him the chance to train, a chance to unlock the potential within him. His earliest memories with his family became hazy as he leaned into his duty as a young student.
===Training as a Padawan===
His Master emphasized a love for people. That isn't to say that she taught him anything about emotions or the sensation of love but rather love as a duty. The galaxy needed Jedi, she argued. She taught him about serving the better good of the larger galaxy. These were lessons that he fixated upon.

It would prove to be both her and his undoing, however. The charity of a Jedi was no match, it seemed, for the cunning of a bunch of street thugs. Their numbers were great, and their motives were bad for both of them. His Master was slain by the thugs, and it was only by running that Atticus managed to escape a similar fate.

Following this attack on his ideals and his identity, he would smuggle himself among ships. He snuck aboard a freighter and managed to evade discovery long enough to do it again. Sometimes, he would go undetected. Other times, he would find angry ships' captain. Sometimes, he even found one who was sympathetic to the emotionally wounded Zeltron. Eventually, he was dumped off on [[Kasiya]]. He walked guided by little more than his gut, and the whispers of the Force. This is how he found himself at Sol'Vida farm.

===Acceptance===
It was at Sol'Vida where Atticus would meet Vance. Despite the pathetic nature of the younger Zeltron, Vance showed an interest in the young Jedi. <ref>[https://discordapp.com/channels/846214062571651154/1401960696677138624/1415328569000722452 Social Bonfire RP]</ref> It was against this backdrop that the Padawan started down a journey to discover and understand more about himself. Following the trip to the farm, he would be taken to a bar in the [[Orian System]] by Vance where the two would take some time to discuss what the future might hold for Atticus. <ref>[https://discord.darkjedibrotherhood.com/rp-sessions/ZEO.html How They Were; How They Are RP]</ref> This caused the man to begin to face what a life beyond being a Jedi could be like, and forced him to consider his own feelings and his own emotions in ways that his apprenticeship had failed to do. He would, upon the advice of Whitlock, reach out to the [[Aurora Collegium of Sciences|Aurora Collegium]] on [[Arx]], hoping to find some way to be helpful and secretly hoping to find a means to complete his training as a Padawan.
==Personal Data==
===Philosophy===
Though he originally affiliated himself with the ideals of the Jedi, Atticus now finds himself in a remarkably obtuse position. He was taught about the dangers of the Dark Side, and very little about his own personal agency compared to the needs of the many throughout the galaxy. He still possessed a sense of duty and a love of charity. He would learn with time to both value himself and his emotions.
===Employment===
For a period of a few months, Corsca basically spent his life as a vagrant. After meeting up with members of the Brotherhood, he would seek some means to provide for himself nearby [[Arx]]. In the meantime, he was directed to [[Tasha'Vel Versea]], who already employed his new companion. In exchange for giving him a small place to call his own with the understanding that she would call upon him for favors of her choosing. Some of these favors were as simple as keeping the grounds of her estate, while others could involve attending events as an assistant to the matriarch. The exact terms were not ever set into stone, but he was more than happy to do what he could to ensure he did not become a burden. He was just happy to have a place to live in peace.
===Assets===
Much like his Master before him, Atticus has very little in the way of personal possessions. Most of his assets, including his pet merqaal, Zinnia, are all kept in his living space on the [[Versea Estate]]. While many clutter their apartment with decorations or baubles, Atticus keeps remarkably spartan quarters. His sleeping space in particular has a small fountain to assist with meditation and a simple sleeping mat. A few pet toys do litter one corner, nearby where Zinnia's own bed lays.

'''Atticus Corsca''' is a Jedi who found his way in Dark Brotherhood space in [[40 ABY to 49 ABY|43 ABY]]. The Force guided the poor, lost Padawan to the site of the [[Sol'Vida Farm]], where he ran into [[Rue]], Vance Whitlock and several members of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and its affiliates. He fully expected when being told that Sith were amongst their members that he would be slain where he stood but was surprised to find them more than welcoming.

Following his brief experience on [[Kasiya]], Atticus set out on a journey of self-discovery. He wanted to understand many things: how the common people lived life without a dependence on the Force, what love meant, what love beyond service looked like, to discover what friendships could be found in the galaxy at large, and even to find out what things he had missed while his worldview had been so narrowly set.
==Biographical Data==
===Early Life===
His earliest memories were with his mother on Ryloth. His parents had made a quiet life there. His childhood was happy enough, if a bit simple, until he met a Chiss Jedi. The woman sensed the potential for the Force in young Atticus. She offered his parents to offer him the chance to train, a chance to unlock the potential within him. His earliest memories with his family became hazy as he leaned into his duty as a young student.
===Training as a Padawan===
His Master emphasized a love for people. That isn't to say that she taught him anything about emotions or the sensation of love but rather love as a duty. The galaxy needed Jedi, she argued. She taught him about serving the better good of the larger galaxy. These were lessons that he fixated upon.

It would prove to be both her and his undoing, however. The charity of a Jedi was no match, it seemed, for the cunning of a bunch of street thugs. Their numbers were great, and their motives were bad for both of them. His Master was slain by the thugs, and it was only by running that Atticus managed to escape a similar fate.

Following this attack on his ideals and his identity, he would smuggle himself among ships. He snuck aboard a freighter and managed to evade discovery long enough to do it again. Sometimes, he would go undetected. Other times, he would find angry ships' captain. Sometimes, he even found one who was sympathetic to the emotionally wounded Zeltron. Eventually, he was dumped off on [[Kasiya]]. He walked guided by little more than his gut, and the whispers of the Force. This is how he found himself at Sol'Vida farm.

===Acceptance===
It was at Sol'Vida where Atticus would meet Vance. Despite the pathetic nature of the younger Zeltron, Vance showed an interest in the young Jedi. <ref>[https://discordapp.com/channels/846214062571651154/1401960696677138624/1415328569000722452 Social Bonfire RP]</ref> It was against this backdrop that the Padawan started down a journey to discover and understand more about himself. Following the trip to the farm, he would be taken to a bar in the [[Orian System]] by Vance where the two would take some time to discuss what the future might hold for Atticus. <ref>[https://discord.darkjedibrotherhood.com/rp-sessions/ZEO.html How They Were; How They Are RP]</ref> This caused the man to begin to face what a life beyond being a Jedi could be like, and forced him to consider his own feelings and his own emotions in ways that his apprenticeship had failed to do. He would, upon the advice of Whitlock, reach out to the [[Aurora Collegium of Sciences|Aurora Collegium]] on [[Arx]], hoping to find some way to be helpful and secretly hoping to find a means to complete his training as a Padawan.
==Personal Data==
===Philosophy===
Though he originally affiliated himself with the ideals of the Jedi, Atticus now finds himself in a remarkably obtuse position. He was taught about the dangers of the Dark Side, and very little about his own personal agency compared to the needs of the many throughout the galaxy. He still possessed a sense of duty and a love of charity. He would learn with time to both value himself and his emotions.
===Employment===
For a period of a few months, Corsca basically spent his life as a vagrant. After meeting up with members of the Brotherhood, he would seek some means to provide for himself nearby [[Arx]].

== Astronomical Data ==
===Planetary Composition ===
Inos is a purple gas giant. It is also the final planet in the orbit of the [[Orian system]].
The gas planet is comprised of a dense and frigid atmosphere contains a few helpful compounds. Fortunately, the planet contains nothing that cannot be extracted from the nearby world of [[Amphor]] and the other planets with greater ease. As a result, there are no mining operations that currently target Inos itself.

=== Planetary Composition ===
Inos is a classic icy-cold Gas Giant type planet. It possesses crushing atmospheres of freezing organic gases, Infernal circuit-destroying magnetic fluxes, super-cyclonic moon-swallowing storms, and tremendously intense pressures.

The surface of [[Inos]] proper is likely to be metallic hydrogen in flux from the immense pressure, but no probes have survived long enough to verify this directly. Remote survey probes have indicated only truly dense and frigid conditions. Many of the moons of Inos are nothing more than sub-zero rocks covered in feet of ice and snow.

=== Moons ===
The moons of Inos are almost innumerable in both quantity and variety. The following are of particular note:
*[[Moons_(Orian)#Amphor_Six|Amphor Six]] was a barren, lifeless small satellite circling the planet of Amphor in the Orian system. The rock is home to a small mining operation that was operated by the former Dlarit Corporation.
*[[Moons_(Orian)#Nadd|Nadd, aka '''Rockpile''']] was the location of a secret facility used by [[The Organisation]]. The facility was discovered and attacked in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|30 ABY]], but not completely destroyed. It's current status has yet to be determined following the return of Clan Naga Sadow up to [[40 ABY to 49 ABY|current day]].
*[[Moons_(Orian)#Alema|Alema]] or '''Snowball''' was a frozen world and the site of a conflict in late [20 ABY to 29 ABY|25 ABY]]. [[The Battle of Inos]] waged over several days. Rumors also circulated that an unidentified artifact was found here.
*[[Moons_(Orian)#Pandemonium|Pandemonium]] was rumored to contain the location of a secret workshop of [[Urias Orian]] himself. It is somewhat warmer overall than would be expected for a moon so far out in the Inos planet system. The combined tidal stresses and other stellar and planetary effects add considerable thermal energy and significantly affect the moon's environment. As well, the abundant radionuclides in the Orian system combine to produce a plausibly hospitable planet-sized moon. There are sightings of Sith Hounds occasionally reported across the years by pirates using the moon as a staging area.
*[[Moons_(Orian)#Inos 36|Inos 36]] is a minor Light Side site in the Orian system. This site would be discovered in 33 ABY by a team dispatched by then-Consul [[Locke Sonjie]].
*[[Moons_(Orian)#Necropolis|Necropolis]] is a former burial ground for [[Urias Orian]] and a moderate dark side site. Though it was formerly Formerly inhabited ancient Sith, it is primarily inhabited by undead abominations. As such, Naga Sadow does not officially keep any facilities here.

A survey team is currently looking for additional places of interest for Clan Naga Sadow, with updates being posted regularly by the Markosian Academy of Science on a weekly basis.

== History ==
===Sith Empire era===
[[File:Inosmoon.jpg|thumb|292px|left|View From an icy Moon of Inos]]
So far from the Inner Worlds of the [[Orian system]], this planetary space has remained largely uninhabited since before the days of the old [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]]. There are rumors that some of the Inos moons may once have been used by [[Urias Orian]] for burial purposes. It would appear that the rumors are true, as [[Inos Moon 42]] has been identified as a former burial site. The Sith Lord Urias Orian condemned this moon to an existence in the "Shadow Side" of his domain. It is also rumored that an old [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] ship fleeing the [[starwars:Hundred Year Darkness|Hundred Year Darkness]] crash-landed on Moon 36.
===Unsettled Scores===

During the "Unsettled Scores" incident in late [[10 ABY to 19 ABY|19 ABY]] the planet or a moon was rumored to be the base of an unknown assassin that later turned out to be [[Kiln Tobasa]]. Subsequent events led to the destruction of the Cathedral on [[Tarthos]] and a minor inter-clan skirmish. The rumors of a base were later seen to be unprovable. However, they were not disproved.

Most of the Clan Naga Sadow forces turned away during travel to the planet to protect [[Sepros]], and only a few managed to make it to the surface. [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu|Shin'ichi Endymiron '''Keibatsu''']] was one of those who made it to the main planet's inner layers. Purportedly in pursuit of a high-level military detainee, his actual mission and activities at that time still remain classified by order of the [[Overlord (Naga Sadow)|Overlord]].

In [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|25 ABY]], the Inos area was a site of a ferocious dispute between the two Houses of [[Clan Naga Sadow]], [[House Marka Ragnos]] and [[House Ludo Kressh]]. Rumors of a dark side artifact combined with the machinations of [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] and the acquiescence of the Summit allowed for a scenario that pitted clan-mates against each other to "cull the herd." Known as [[The Battle of Inos]], the rivalry opened into a bloody conflict quickly.

Fierce battles raged in orbit of Inos as the [[RSD Final Way]] and [[ISDII Harbinger]] squared off. As well, battles were fought on land as both Houses raced to reach the prize. Artillery, tanks, clones, and Dark Jedi clashed repeatedly on the arctic surface of [[Inos Moon 18]] over many days while their brethren dueled in space overhead. The conflict was resolved as the Sadowite forces were quickly recalled to repel Emperor's Hammer forces in orbit of the gas giant Inos.

==History==
===History Through to the Exodus Era===
Originally perceived as a star because of its sheer luminosity, this entity had been called '''[[item:79949|Orian Minor]]''' for years before the discovery that it was in truth a world comprised almost entirely of crystal. With towering crystalline spires of orange and even a matching surface reminiscent of glass, this world seems to absorb, reflect and refract the light it receives from the star of Orian. Scientists and scholars within the community of [[Naga Sadow]] decided upon the name of Ombus for the body in reference to the ancient "Star of Ombus" told in the legends of [[Urias Orian]], deciding it was a fitting title. [[Krath]] scholars from across the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] have come in recent times to research this strange world, requiring heat resistant EVA suits, breathing equipment and largely utilizing scanners to determine the composition of the planet as it possesses no atmosphere and the surface temperature is far too high for most galactic denizens. In recent studies, both the surface and the crystalline spires seem to be far too dense for even the most sophisticated cutting tools to pierce. When energy based tools such as cutting lasers, or simply blasters, are used, there appears to be no affect as the target either absorbs, refracts, or simply allows the energy burst to pass through ineffectively.
===The Awakenings Conflict===
{{Quote|As it was written by my Master - the Oracle - in the Book of Doom, the Dark Side will turn upon those that serve it, and after the Darkness has consumed all, it will consume itself until nothing remains.|Xanos Zorrixor to the Naga Sadow conclave}}
[[Locke Sonjie]] would call together the Sadowan conclave to discuss the spread of pain and suffering among Force-sensitives in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]]. At this time, [[Marcus Kiriyu]] told of a vision. Ultimately, it was determined that this occurrence was attributable to a [[starwars:Disturbance_in_the_Force/Legends|Force anomaly]]. A further prophecy was brought to light that forecast events that threatened to destroy all of existance. Three factions formed in response: one who wanted to form a way to deliver the Clan from this fate headed by Kiriyu, one loyal to and trusting in the wisdom of the Consul in these dark times, and those who believed in Xanos vision for deliverance.

It was during this time that a splinter from the world of Ombus would come to light. It was during this time that the discovery of the [[Heart of Ombus]]. It would be found on the asteroid of [[Dentavii Prime]], where Sadowans would fight over the artifact as well.
===New Order Era===
In the current day, Ombus has proven to be a scientific oddity, but has not been subjected to further studies. Events such as the war with [[The Dominion]], [[Collective|the Collective]], and infighting within and without the Brotherhood through to [[40 ABY to 49 ABY|43 ABY]] have left little time to further study. This has no precluded the opportunity for further research in the future, but the re-establishment of the Naga Sadow Empire as a new heir to [[starwars:Naga Sadow| Naga Sadow's legacy]], such endeavors have been largely left to the wayside by local bodies of scientific study.

==History==
===Establishment===
The Crossroads is a bar in [[Markosian City]], on [[Tarthos]]. Nestled within the [[Sepros]] System, the property was purchased by [[Mirado Pepoi L'eonheart]] to help stimulate the economy of the planet after the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|destruction wreaked by the alien invaders]] against the Dark Brotherhood. During this conflcit, major portions of the city were destroyed. Mirado did not mind the bar itself, instead choosing to deal with the administrative duties needed to keep it in business.
===Operation===
After it's establishment, the bar was placed under the care of [[Roxas Buurenaar]]. He did not only tends the bar, but Roxas also lives in a room in the back. The bar caters to up and coming musicians, but only of a certain style. Both Mirado and Roxas prefer the blues, and as such these musicians are the only sort who are hosted at the venue. There aren't many rules, save that members of Clan Naga Sadow drink free.
===Facilities===
Beyond the stage and the bar, there is little that is immediately available to the general public.

Roxas long ago set up the back room to suit all his needs. This back room has a workbench, a safe (that houses his Mandalorian armor), and a bed; there is also a small kitchen and a private bathroom. When Roxas had to go on missions he would usually close down the bar. He just did not trust anyone else to work it properly, but on occasion he would allow members of [[Dlarit Special Operations Group|DSOG]] to work the bar in his absence. On one occasion, he desire to to kill one unworthy individual for attempting to man his bar. However, he knew that it would be bad for the patrons to see this, so instead he opted to have the man arrested.

==Entertainment==
===From Naga Sadow===
In years past, [[Masika Oshairana]] would act as waitress and occasionally sing at the bar. This would change when she became the Krath Tetrarch of The [[Raptors]]. It is said that she occasionally still sings there on occasion, but sightings have been increasingly rare.
===Musicians===
Several blues musical acts and solo acts have graced the doors and the stage of The Crossroads. On one wall, every act that has been to the establishment has signed a section of wall. From rough scrawl to swirling script, one can look into one corner and see the multitude of artists who have made great memories for her patrons.

**Atticus Corsca** is a Jedi who found his way in Dark Brotherhood space in [[34 ABY to 49 ABY|43 ABY]]. The Force guided the poor, lost Padawan to [[Sol'Vida Farm]], where he ran into [[Rue]], Vance Whitlock and several members of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] or its affiliates. He fully expected when being told that Sith were amongst their members that he would be slain where he stood, but was surprised to find them more than welcoming.

==Biographical Data==
===Early Life===
His earliest memories were with his mother on Ryloth. His parents had made a quiet life there. His childhood was happy enough, if a bit simple, until he met a Chiss Jedi. The woman sensed the potential for the Force in young Atticus. She offered his parents to offer him the chance to train, a chance to unlock the potential within him. His earliest memories with his family became hazy as he leaned into his duty as a young student.
===Training as a Padawan===
His Master emphasized a love for people. That isn't to say that she taught him anything about emotions or the sensation of love, but rather love as a duty. The galaxy needed Jedi, she argued. She taught him about serving the better good of the larger galaxy. These were lessons that he fixated upon.

It would prove to be both her and his undoing however. The charity of a Jedi was no match, it seemed, for the cunning of a bunch of street thugs. Their numbers were great, and their motives were bad for both of them. His Master was slain by the thugs, and it was only by running that Atticus managed to escape a similar fate.

Following this attack on his ideals and his identity, he would smuggle himself among ships. He snuck aboard a freighter, and managed to evade discovery long enough to do it again. Sometimes, he would go undetected. Other times, he would find angry ships' captain. Sometimes, he even found one who was sympathetic to the emotionally-wounded Zeltron. Eventually, he was dumped off on [[Kasiya]]. He walked guided by little more than his gut, and the whispers of the Force. This is how he found himself at Sol'Vida farm.

===Acceptance===
It was at Sol'Vida where Atticus would meet Vance. Despite the pathetic nature of the younger Zeltron, Vance showed an interest in the young Jedi. <ref>[https://discordapp.com/channels/846214062571651154/1401960696677138624/1415328569000722452 Social Bonfire RP]</ref>

==History==
The Crossroads is a bar in [[Markosian City]], on [[Tarthos]], in the [[Sepros]] System. The bar was purchased by [[Mirado Pepoi L'eonheart]] to help stimulate the economy of the planet after it was invaded by Vong Spawn and major portions of the city were destroyed. The bar was placed under the care of [[Roxas Buurenaar]]; who not only tends the bar, but lives in a room in the back. The bar caters to up and coming musicians, but only if they play the blues as both Mirado and Roxas enjoy listening to the blues. There aren't many rules, but Sadowans drink free. [[Masika Oshairana]] used to waitress and sing at the bar until she became the Krath Tetrarch of The [[Raptors]]. Masika still sings there on occasion. Roxas has set up the back room to suit all his needs. It has a workbench, a safe (that houses his Mandalorian armor), and a bed; there is also a small kitchen and a private bathroom. When Roxas has to go on missions he closes the bar because he doesn't trust anyone else with working it, but recently has been allowing DSOG members to work the bar in his absence. He wanted to kill one person for trying, but knowing that it would be bad for the patrons to see this, he had the man arrested.

'''Bentre''' (also known as Benny, previously as Zachary or "Sparta") is a the former [[Consul]] of Clan [[Naga Sadow]] and the club's sitting [[Wiki Tribune]]. He considers himself a fair writer, a barely passable artist, enjoys watching movies, trips to the beach when possible, walking through the woods with his wife and child and speculating on stupid minute details like whether the Enterprise could really even begin to square up against an Imperial Star Destroyer, or how many Sith it would take to topple the infrastructure of a planet. When he isn't getting whipped on by his the Dark Council he can usually be found chilling out to whatever pops up on his playlist.

== Characters ==
===Core Characters===
===="Bentre Stahoes"====
'''[[Bentre Stahoes]]''' - His current character, Bentre was the first Dark Jedi Brotherhood character Bentre used and one could would argue in a way the strongest. Benny tried to fight the trope of being a lightsaber-wielding space wizard, but that changed a bit as the character developed. Bentre still takes a note from both Han Solo and Malcolm Reynolds, but an attempt was made to make him into his own entity. Bentre's insanity, talkative nature and his quickness with a blaster may be a boon at times though may prove a liability at others. Following the destruction of Boyna, this Sith swore to get an eventual vengeance upon then-Grand Master Pravus, whom he considered insane for the deaths of his Obelisk brethren. The memories of marching against the Obelisk under the orders of the Brotherhood haunt him mercilessly. At one point he had hoped to deliver some of his kin from destruction. His nerve was not strong enough and he was consequentially unable to do anything to sway the battle elsewhere.

Over time, Bentre Stahoes would climb up the ranks of his Clan. Starting as a member of [[Sapphire Squadron]], he would in time take command of the [[Devil's Shroud]] Battleteam. He would move up from Battle Team Leader to Aedile, serving in this position for some time. His gumption would find him appointed to the position of the Clan's Rollmaster, where he would serve faithfully for several months.The death of [[Marcus Kiriyu]] and later the departure [[Jax Bendal]] would allow Bentre to ascend to the position of Proconsul with the approval of [[Sanguinius Tsucyra]]. This is where he remained, quite content to serve his fellow Sadowans. It would be after the events of Inferno, that Sanguinius would step down and Bentre was selected by the permission of the Dark Council to step into his former mentor's shoes and into the office of Consul. With his attention further split, his service to the office of the Headmaster would be brought to an end after a change in regime in said office. This would leave him to continue his service as merely the [[Wiki Tribune|Master of Holocrons]] and the Consul of Clan Naga Sadow. He had one goal as Consul: to restore the glory of Sadow, in his eyes the original Sith Empire. Whether he should live or perish, he had all intentions to start this restoration by returning his Clan to their former home once again.

----

===="Zachary O'Maille"====
'''[[Zachary O'Maille]]''' - Former character and current NPC. Is actually a twist on a previous character Benny previously RP'd within the Freeworlds mod. Whereas the original O'Maille was a Republic soldier turned Jedi (though very only very briefly New Republic), this version has never been particularly given to the Jedi way. Both played the Jedi part for a while but while one rose to become a Knight the one in the DJB spurned the Jedi teaching and lamented their ignorance. Both suffer a dark taint, one through his father and the other as a result of his wife's death. O'Maille prefers to resolve things through words, but never turns away from a fight he deems necessary, though he will try to spare a life if he believes the person is of use or may be coverted/redeemed in some way- though his definition of redemption may make some wish he would kill them. Zachary came into the Orian system by will of the Force, and he was selected to serve as Aedile of House Shar Dakhan. Zachary would be deposed by Bentre at a later date. He would disappear from public sight when the Orian system was seized by the Collective in 34 ABY.

===Minor Characters===

These would include some more gimmicky or characters on a whim. Some were planned to become more significant NPCs, while others filled rolls like giving Bentre a student to focus on even while he served as the Clan's Consul during his tenure. One such example of a student was [[Lav'anre]]. By contrast, one could observe [[Cimozjen Kurios]] as an example of one who would fill a roll of whimsy when a more 'traditional' space wizard was needed without descending into fuzzy Jedi nonsense. It could be argued however, that the seer or psychic angle makes him appear more foolish than was initially intended. Another character included [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/character_sheets/12667 Kris Stahoes], the half-human, half-zeltron bastard child of a young trouble-making Stahoes. Of a minor note, you could point to [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/character_sheets/10987 Gin Voca], a rather two-dimensional mercenary that Bentre sometimes ran around with.

== RL Stuff ==
===Childhood===
Benny started his Star Wars obsession at a very early age, having seen Episode IV and instantly becoming enamored. As a child he fantasized about having a lightsaber, traveling the galaxy and seeing its wonders and splendor. In high school his excitement piqued when he came across a novel for Star Wars, the New Jedi Order: Vector Prime. In the last few years of high school, Benny would start collecting as many of the New Jedi Order books as he could from the local book store, and even began to write some short stories of his own- though little came of that.

===College and Freeworlds===
It wouldn't be until his Freshman year of college that Benny would be introduced to the game Freelancer, and a TC (or total conversion) mod for the game called ''[http://www.freeworlds.us Freeworlds (18.xx)]''- which he would play in the evenings after classes on a private server. Still the man desired a little more. One and a half years later, Bentre found himself leaving college due to financial and academic troubles. During a vacation the summer after, he remembered Freeworlds and on a whim, googled the mod. Lone behold, the mod and its community seemed to still be kicking. Excited, Bentre downloaded the current version of the mod, installed it, joined the forums, and played into the wee hours of the morning as his family slept. A new fascination occurred as Bentre found himself first applying to join the New Republic, and flying about the game's Coruscant system looking for adventure. It would be at a ship Mon Calamari ship and in game base, the Wavefront (or "Wafflefront" as it was known to Freeworlds players, also known as 'Freeworlders') that he would meet his first Jedi. The player, whose name is lost to antiquity, forum wipes and website changes, offered Bentre- then going by the handle ''Old_Sparta'' and later ''Sparta''- the chance to join the game's Jedi Order. Ecstatic, the man accepted.

Quickly he crafted a persona, got involved with the community, and eventually rose to be a leader of both an NPC "News" faction run by Freeworlders, Server Police (what the name says on the tin), and even a member of the Jedi Council (after a schism split the sinking community again). Though he went on to become the President of the New Republic in the later '''[http://www.freeworldstidesofwar.com Freeworlds: Tides of War]''' mod, but after becoming disillusioned, he left the community to find his own path. It wouldn't be until years later when an old friend, '''Marcus Kiriyu''' would tell him about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. [[user:Marcus Kiriyu|Marcus]] quickly recruited Bentre, and thus on April 8th, 2015 a new age was born.
===Dark Jedi Jedi Brotherhood Stuff===
====Joining the DJB====
The persona of Bentre Stahoes was created and Benny tried to throw himself into many aspects of the Brotherhood: the [[ACC]], the [[Shadow Academy]], the [[Grand Master's Royal Guard|GMRG]], the [[Inquisitorius]] and fiction activities and competitions throughout the Brotherhood. He would get his first taste of Run-ons in the Clan Naga Sadow and Clan Scholae Palatinae joint event, [[Red Fury]]. Though he came in after the start of the event he managed to place in a few events and managed to impress his Battleteam Leader well enough that he was presented with his first merit award, a Dark Cross. As time went on, Bentre continued to keep pushing the envelope, pushing for promotions through early ranks as quickly as possible and participating in anything that he was able.

====Early Accomplishments====
His persistence would pay off, as he was eventually positioned as a Battle Team Leader, later becoming an Aedile within House [[Shar Dakhan]] and taking on other positions as mentioned in the table at the bottom of the page. He also achieved Eleventh Echelon of the Grand Master's Royal Guard twice, first protecting [[Darth Pravus]] and later [[Cethgus Tiberius Entar]] when he served as FIST- before the Eleventh and Twelfth Echelons became static and he joined the members of the Twelfth permanently.

===="The Journey Continues"====

Bentre continues his efforts to help mentor and serve his members to this day. Only time will tell to what heights or what lows he will achieve in the process. In this spirit he has mentored two students to the Rank of [[Knight]], also having won an event or two, and attempted to make his page more appealing by borrowing (possibly "ripping off") the appealing design of [[User:Selika|Slagar]]'s page.

=== Image Quality ===
(Nabbed from [[User:Selika|Selika's page]])

Yes, it's nice to have the best image quality possible. But, it also is a good thing to have the lowest file size possible to get that quality. Bandwidth doesn't grow on trees, and doing everything we can to minimize it makes the people that have to worry about that sort of thing happy campers. So, if the image doesn't require transparency, why use a larger PNG file? Use an optimized JPG to reduce file size. In one article alone the change from PNG's to JPG's netted a change in KB size for the affected images from 836kb to 120kb. You might say who cares about 700kb, but that's one article, and over several can add up. Then, with the number of times articles can be viewed... well, you get the idea. Bandwidth usage 12% of what we had is always good.

The following tools are essential:
*[http://www.ardfry.com/pngoutwin PNGOutWin]: For optimizing PNG files for size and compatibility. Be sure to select both compatibility options in the preferences. Some PNG implementations are more retarded than others, and PNGOutWin compensates for just about all of them. If you must (for the love of pete) use a PNG.
*[http://www.xat.com/jpegopt/index.html Xat JPEG Optimizer]: For optimizing JPEGs singly or in batches.

Born in 249 BBY, on Kashyyk, Karracca is considered late middle aged or even elderly for a wookie. He was identified as a force sensitive youngling at the age of 7, and his father had asked the Jedi to teach him the ways of the force. He was made a Padawan at the age of 12, apprenticing under Grand Master Yoda. He was made a Knight at the age of 28, and served honorably until the years leading up to the Clone Wars.

During and in the decades after the establishment of the Empire served as a consultant and a diplomat mostly, through he also dabbled in mercenary work from time to time, always aligning himself with the Rebels, the Alliance and later the Republic. He helped rally wookies from all over the galaxy when his friend Chewie and Lando put out the call during the Battle of Exogol. Little else of note occurred until the ABY 40s, when he was sent on a mission with a secular Jedi named Kalen.

*“My finest or worst Padawan he is not. More then any other, the one who forced me to challenge my own notions of right and wrong, that, yes Karracca is.” Master Yoda speaking of Karracca after the Battle of Kashyyk.

==Character History==
Though never elevated to the rank of Master he was regarded as one of finest strategists and mission planners in the Order in the 50s and 40s BBY. By BBY 33 Karracca had become disillusioned by the decay, hubris and indifference of the High Council, led by his former Master. He left the Jedi Order on honorable terms after a heated argument with the High Council. During a Council session where he was asked to speak on a strategy matter he had arose and supported Qui Gon Jinns push to find ‘the one’ and reform the Jedi's inward looking policies, beginning an argument that ended with Karracca leaving the Order.

Yoda and Karracca did overcome their differences mere hours before the Battle of Kashyyyk. He had been in a tree top overwatch position, helping coordinate the defense of Kachirho tree city on Kashyyyk when the infamous Order 66 had been issued. Karracca had avoided the fate of most other Jedi at the time, because he had left the order 14 years before. Also, due to his position in the tree cities canopy, the Clone troopers never encountered him.

From that point on he worked as a private contractor and consultant for nearly half a century before taking on a role as a coordinator and diplomat for the Brotherhood and later being hired by House Ventress. He was then brought in to help stand up their Envoy Cadre.

Though Karra still considers himself a Jedi at heart, he hasn't claimed the title publicly in over 70 years. Many wookies will know his name if not his chubby cheeked face. He rarely if ever admits to feeling old, and often claims that the fountain of youth resides in a consistent regiment of frequent naps.

When not found napping he was usually working as an advisor, consultant, or contractor for various friends throughout the Brotherhood. He is nearing retirement though and before incurring his life debt, he had been considering retiring.

*“Do not fear Jedi Joss, I am an old wookie, and my life debt may not be worth much or last very long.” Karracca to Kalen Joss, ca ABY 43.

==Recent Events==

*Karracca joined the Brotherhood Envoy Corps in 41 ABY
*He began working for House Ventress in 42 ABY
*He incurred a *life debt* to Jedi Kalen Joss during a covert mission in 43 ABY

[[Clan Naga Sadow]] was a [[Clan]] within the [[Dark Brotherhood]] of Jedi which has undergone a series of transformations over the years by adapting and surviving to the changing ecosystems of the Brotherhood and Galaxy at large. Founded in [[11 ABY to 19 ABY#14_ABY|14 ABY]] as an [[House|Independent House]], the unit nearly burst with growth before ascending to its own Clan status and spawning three [[Houses]] known as [[House Ludo Kressh]], [[House Primus Goluud]] and [[House Marka Ragnos]]. In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#33_ABY|33 ABY]], several years after the unit's ascension to Clan Status the [[Dark Council]], at the behest of [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]], determined that all of the Great Clans of the Brotherhood needed to be reformed into Houses. This resulted in seeing the surviving Houses of Kressh and Ragnos dissolved into House Naga Sadow. In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35_ABY|35 ABY]] on the Anniversary of the [[Exodus]], Naga Sadow was once more restored to its status as a Clan of the Brotherhood.

For a summary of the Clan please see the [[Naga Sadow Prospectus]] or for details on the Clan's public front see the [[Orian Assembly]].

{{:Clan Naga Sadow/Vong War/Part One}}{{:Clan Naga Sadow/Vong War/Part Two}}

=== New Beginnings (31 ABY–35 ABY)===
With the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong_War|war]] that had waged for half a decade finally over, Clan Naga Sadow was now faced with the challenge of rebuilding. On [[Tarthos]], with the city of [[Kar Alabrek]] rendered inhospitable, the families of the [[Dlarit Security Force]] had been left homeless. The clean-up operation by the [[Dlarit Special Operations Group|Special Operations Group]] was likely to take years. Elsewhere, around the system at the refugee camps on [[Aeotheran]], [[Amphor]] and [[Tarthos]], the refugee populations were nearing breaking point, with resources running scarce. A problem not helped by the economic recession unfolding right across the galaxy, or the high cost of repairing the damage dealt to [[Seng Karash]] and [[San Korinar]] by the last attack by [[Varesh Shai]]'s Vong remnants. As a result, the [[Dlarit Corporation]] was eager to return the refugees to their native homeworlds as fast as possible; however, like the [[starwars:Old_Republic|Old Republic]] before it, the new [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] was weighed down by bureaucracy, with underhanded contractors like [[starwars:RePlanetHab|RePlanetHab]] running circles around the [[starwars:Reconstruction_Authority|Reconstruction Authority]] to steal habitable new worlds from the refugees. With no other choices, the Corporation was simply forced to maintain the system-wide quarantine that had been in place since [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor General|Governor]] [[Trevarus Caerick|Caerick]] enacted it in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|28 ABY]], and accelerate the construction of the [[Markosian City|new city]] on Tarthos that had been begun by Governor [[Derev Niroth|Niroth]] in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|29 ABY]]. For the lucky ones, a few refugees were offered spots in the security forces to replace those lost during the sacking of Orian. However, the new city was revised not as a home for the refugees, but for the displaced military families; a decision that would have lasting repercussions for years in the years to come, and become the cause of much civil unrest.

The social unrest left behind from the war was not invisible to the [[Disciples of Sadow]], and the [[Overlord (Naga Sadow)|Overlord]] himself left for [[Antei]] to seek the counsel of his old mentor, [[Dark Jedi Master|Master]] [[Yoni]], whom he believed might be able to help stave off the collapse that [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow|Astronicus]] had foreseen. Back in Orian, [[Kharon Daragon]] set about training a new generation of [[Order of the Black Guard|Black Guardsmen]] to protect the Clan's leaders from possible threats. Indeed, though the rest of the Clan had put the past behind them, Daragon still feared the return of the two Apostates and set about training the Black Guard for the battle he knew would one day come. However, not all the [[Sons of Sadow]] fell victim to their doubts and the new [[Consul]], [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow|Tsainetomo]], set about forging alliances beyond the Clan, reaching out to their old adversaries [[Clan Taldryan]]. Instead of a burden, Sai saw the refugee crisis as an opportunity and in exchange for Taldryan's services the Consul welcomed his new allies into Orian, granting them the freedom to take any of the refugees whom they felt could be of service to them. Being a Dark Jedi, Sai had had no quarrel with trading sentient beings as if they were no different than livestock.

====Drugs, Refuge, Blah, blah (32 ABY)====
[Pictured of Refuge, I think?]
The Underworld took advantage of the social collapse. Illegal narcotics were smuggled in from Refugee Criminal Space City by unknown organisation, which further caused problems making things worse for the Voice of Justice.

CARE formed as a civilian protest movement within the city.
'''Editors Note: This section should be expanded by someone familiar with these events.'''

====Invasion of Salas V (32 ABY)====
[Used to be a picture of Muz here]
Killiks found. DC wants help. Salas V purged. Lots of troops and Dark Jedi die. Dlarit and Sadow resources stretched even further.
'''Editors Note: This section should be expanded by someone familiar with these events.'''

====Markosian Finished (32 ABY)====
[Sparkly new city picture?]
Markosian finished. Refugees truly hacked off. Military base been added to Derev's original plans. Kar Alabrek still not cleaned up.
'''Editors Note: This section should be expanded by someone familiar with these events.'''

====Ragnos Reborn Crisis and Stuff (32 ABY)====
Anti-HMR Ragnos-people infiltrate Mucenic and cause trouble. Fremoc looks good.
'''Editors Note: This section should be expanded by someone familiar with these events.'''

====Voice of Justice uprising (32 ABY)====
Refugees were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebel. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown organisation. A clone of Bob escapes a forgotten Exodus-era facility. Kano and his squad derail a civilian train as opposed to a cargo train. Anti-Dlarit sentiments are exacerbated even further. Attempts to frame the Voice of Justice by sabotaging the city power supply goes wrong when Generation 2 explodes instead. An alien Anti-Force experiment called "Firak" is released on Aeotheran causing even more problems. Firak kills the clones as a result. Illegal arms smugglers and refugees run in-and-out of Seng Karash. During this Deliverance discovers she's nothing but an experiment and subsequently loses her sanity and wants revenge. The Voice of Justice becomes the very thing Sadow was trying to frame them as. Deliverance sets up a bomb on Isle of Lor Zatean to kill everyone housed there, but is killed by Sadow in the process. Dlarit capitalises on deaths caused by the explosion by maneuvering itself to appear as a Hero.

====Ekind Uprising (33 ABY)====
While everyone was distracted on Aeotheran, the Lost Tribe of Ekind takes over the Kar Alabrek ruins. From the ruins they launched an attack on Mucenic. Members of Sadow were forced to rush to Tarthos in order to defend Mucenic. This was an ellaborate ploy. Their real army assaults Markosian City during the confusion. Sadow forces rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. In the aftermath Muz chooses to let Shan Long live. The entire House falls into rage as chaos reigns within. Members of Marka Ragnos blamed Kressh for wasting their time on Aeotheran. Meanwhile, Tron returns from Antei and speaks with Yoni. Tron agrees with Muz's decision and Naga Sadow undergoes the Reformation. Clan Naga Sadow is dissolved until they are calm once more and have regained their former strength. There had been too much death already. Ekind tries to resurrect Hafa Chun in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins. This plan is a success. Muz arrives in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensues with the arrival of the former Naga Sadow. Both Hafa Chun and Ekind die in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

====Fremoc the Errand Boy (33 ABY)====
Fremoc does stuff for Shan Long. Aleho returns and goes crazy. Sunei returns. Agents from Revan return from spying on rumours about reborn Sarin for Muz. Cloning facility blown up.
'''Editors Note: This section should be expanded by someone familiar with these events.'''

====Rite of Supremacy: Disorder (33 ABY)====
Mike Halcyon messes up holocrons. Orders go mad. Big fight. Lasts 3 days. Not sure anymore exactly "when" this slots in; need to double check.
'''Editors Note: This section should be expanded by someone familiar with these events.'''

====Clones, Curwen Sunei, Other Stuff (34 ABY)====
Following the Ekind Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that [[Clan Naga Sadow]] would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving [[Macron Goura Sadow]] and [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow|Tsainetomo '''Keibatsu''' Sadow]] as the [[Quaestor]] and [[Aedile]] of the newly reformed house. The leaders chose [[Malisane Sadow]] as their House Rollmaster, as well as forming [[Battleteam Marka Ragnos]] led by [[Fremoc Pepoi]], [[Disciples of Kressh|Battleteam Ludo Kressh]] led by [[Dyrra Skye]], [[Primus Goluud Battleteam|Battleteam Primus Goluud]] led by [[Teu Pepoi]], and keeping the [[Night Hawks]] with their leader [[Sarconn]]. Fremoc eventually left for his exile, causing [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] to assume command of Battleteam Marka Ragnos in his stead. Life was peaceful for Naga Sadow until late in 33 ABY when the house's [[Dark Jedi Orders|Orders]] were sent to [[Antei]] to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new [[Quaestor]] of Naga Sadow. The members of the house returned, finding that [[Ashura Isradia Sadow]] had been murdered by his apprentice Aleho. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for [[Aedile]] of Naga Sadow. Finding out that [[Trevarus Caerick]] had released Fremoc Pepoi from his exile, Sai called upon Fremoc to become Aedile. Fremoc accepted and returned immediately, helping Sai decide that there were too many battleteams for the house and that only one was needed. The two chose that [[Kano Tor Pepoi]] was fit for the job and from him they created [[The Regulators]]. His time as [[Praetor]] to the [[Fist of the Brotherhood]] had allowed him access to special training regiments, but also having become a member of the [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] he was learning to control the Mark, causing him to spend much of his time at the [[Temple of Blood]].

Meanwhile, Sai and Macron found Ashura's body and gave their fellow [[Sons of Sadow|Son of Sadow]] a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and Aisha found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named Sunei had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's [[Overlord (Naga Sadow)|Overlord]], grieving for Ashura. During this time, Sai received a message from [[Muz Ashen]] informing the '''Keibatsu''' that Fremoc Pepoi was to become the [[Fist of the Brotherhood]]. Macron called upon Kano and his Regulators to help him kill Sunei on Aeotheran. Fremoc intercepted Macron's transmission to Kano and sensed that it was a bad idea for Macron to kill Sunei. He used his influence as Fist of the Brotherhood to countermand Macron's orders and to make the Regulators capture Sunei and bring him back to Camp Havoc and the [[Temple of Fire]] instead. Sai intercepted that transmission and informed Macron that the Regulators were not going to be his back up as he expected. The events which followed led Fremoc to discover this exchange through the Mark, in turn warning his brother of the change; although not before the Raptor team had made landfall. The remaining Regulators made a low-atmosphere drop from the [[M/CRV Reaper's Call]] into the mountain range to alert their out-of-contact comrades and capture the mad Adept.

The capture of [[Curwen Sunei]] went off without a hitch, on the ground at least. While en route to [[Sepros]], the crazed Adept, used his grasp of the Force to subdue the Regulators and disable the Corvette; thus creating an army of "possessed" crew members to assault anyone that tried to stop his plans. Due to a [[starwars:Voodoo|Voodoo]] curse accidentally placed upon himself, Kano was unaffected when Sunei had taken control of the ship. Waking each member of his team before going after Sunei, they weren't the only ones preparing to assault the crippled Corvette. On Sepros, Fremoc and Sai had received the [[Soul Ripper|Soul Rippers]] from the House's new Rollmaster, [[Teu Pepoi]], after a discovery that Sunei had a connection to [[Darth Vexatus|the deceiver]]. Also en route to the vessel was Macron with [[Jade Sadow]] and his apprentice in a bid to rescue the Regulators. Aboard the vessel, conflict was rising between the Regulators as those with a greater connection to the Force found themselves being "possessed" by whatever Sunei had been channeling. A brief standoff between Methyas and [[Mirado Pepoi L'eonheart|Venator]] saw both Miraluka injured greatly before the connection had been severed. Shortly afterwards Kano had been possessed as well and bent on slaying his team. Before things could go from bad to worse, Fremoc had arrived with Sai and entered mortal combat with his brother to save his cousin. While Kano and Fremoc engaged each other, Methyas and Venator led the Regulators to the bridge of the corvette to challenge Sunei. In an attempt to strengthen themselves, Methyas initiated a [[Telepathy#Force_Meld|Force Meld]] to give them each an edge before they entered.

The ensuing battle was as catastrophic to the members of the Regulators as the Pepoi brothers battle was to the corvette's interior. The arrival of Macron and his team, now including [[Kalei Basai]], created a welcome repreive for the tired combatants and ended the battle swiftly when Macron withdrew the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] and slew Sunei with it. Although he collapsed in a coma as a result of this. Jade acted swiftly, knowing the sword drew on a being's energies, with the help of those present to stabilize the Warlord as he fought a battle within against the mad Adept. Meanwhile, Fremoc and Kano continued their battle resulting in Kano's death at the hands of his brother, a small standoff between the Fist of the Brotherhood and Sai followed before resulting in Fremoc leaving Orian space for Antei and the Iron Throne. Aboard the bridge, Macron won his battle against Sunei, the mad Adept's soul getting captured within the sword as Macron rose in a bit of pain though he'd survive. Following the restoration of control for the corvette, the Regulators returned to [[Tarthos]] for the burial and memorial of Kano before Venator took the reigns of the Regulators.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===Gamuslag===
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

===Tarthos===
{{main|Tarthos}}
[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

===Inos===
{{main|Inos}}
[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==
* Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

* The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

* The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

==Clan Relations==
===Allies of Clan Naga Sadow===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

* Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

* Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

* The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

* The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

===Neutral Relations of Clan Naga Sadow===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

* One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

* While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

* One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

* Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

* One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

* Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

* Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

===Enemies of Clan Naga Sadow===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

* The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders.

* Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

* The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

* The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

* Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

* The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

* Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

* A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

* The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

* The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

* The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Clan Culture ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

=== [[Sons & Daughters of Sadow]] ===
These are notable members of Clan Naga Sadow that have earned the right to bear the name of Sadow. It is worth noting that not all Sons/Daughters choose to display the title as their surname.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===Gamuslag===
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

===Tarthos===
{{main|Tarthos}}
[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

===Inos===
{{main|Inos}}
[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==
* Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

* The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

* The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

==Clan Relations==
===Allies of Clan Naga Sadow===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

* Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

* Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

* The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

* The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

===Neutral Relations of Clan Naga Sadow===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

* One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

* While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

* One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

* Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

* One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

* Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

* Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

===Enemies of Clan Naga Sadow===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

* The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders.

* Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

* The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

* The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

* Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

* The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

* Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

* A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

* The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

* The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

* The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Clan Culture ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

=== [[Sons & Daughters of Sadow]] ===
These are notable members of Clan Naga Sadow that have earned the right to bear the name of Sadow. It is worth noting that not all Sons/Daughters choose to display the title as their surname.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===Gamuslag===
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

===Tarthos===

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

===Inos===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

==Clan Relations==
===Allies of Clan Naga Sadow===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

* Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

* Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

* The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

* The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

==Neutral Relations of Clan Naga Sadow==
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

* One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

* While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

* One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

* Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

* One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

* Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

* Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

==Enemies of Clan Naga Sadow==
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

* The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders.

* Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

* The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

* The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

* Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

* The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

* Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

* A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

* The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

* The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

* The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Clan Culture ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

=== Sons and Daughters of Sadow ===
These are notable members of Clan Naga Sadow that have earned the right to bear the name of Sadow. It is worth noting that not all Sons/Daughters choose to display the title as their surname.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===Gamuslag===
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

===Tarthos===

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

===Inos===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

==Allies of Clan Naga Sadow==
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

* Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

* Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

* The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

* The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

==Neutral Relations of Clan Naga Sadow==
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

* One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

* While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

* One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

* Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

* One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

* Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

* Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

==Enemies of Clan Naga Sadow==
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

* The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders.

* Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

* The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

* The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

* Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

* The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

* Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

* A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

* The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

* The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

* The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Clan Culture ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

=== Sons and Daughters of Sadow ===
These are notable members of Clan Naga Sadow that have earned the right to bear the name of Sadow. It is worth noting that not all Sons/Daughters choose to display the title as their surname.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===Gamuslag===
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

===Tarthos===

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

===Inos===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

==Allies of Clan Naga Sadow==
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

* Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

* Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

* The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

* The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

==Neutral Relations of Clan Naga Sadow==
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

* One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

* While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

* One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

* Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

* One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

* Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

* Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

==Enemies of Clan Naga Sadow==
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

* The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders.

* Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

* The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

* The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

* Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

* The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

* Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

* A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

* The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

* The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

* The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Clan Culture ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

=== Sons and Daughters of Sadow ===
These are notable members of Clan Naga Sadow that have earned the right to bear the name of Sadow. It is worth noting that not all Sons/Daughters choose to display the title as their surname.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===Gamuslag===
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

===Tarthos===

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

===Inos===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

==Allies of Clan Naga Sadow==
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

* Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

* Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

* The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

* The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

==Neutral Relations of Clan Naga Sadow==
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

* One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

* While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

* One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

* Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

* One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

* Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

* Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

==Enemies of Clan Naga Sadow==
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

* The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders.

* Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

* The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

* The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

* Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

* The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

* Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

* A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

* The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

* The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

* The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Clan Culture ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

== Sons and Daughters of Sadow ==
These are notable members of Clan Naga Sadow that have earned the right to bear the name of Sadow. It is worth noting that not all Sons/Daughters choose to display the title as their surname.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===Gamuslag===
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

===Tarthos===

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

===Inos===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

* Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

* Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

* The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

* The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

* One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

* While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

* One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

* Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

* One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

* Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

* Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

* The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders.

* Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

* The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

* The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

* Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

* The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

* Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

* A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

* The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

* The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

* The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Clan Culture ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

== Sons and Daughters of Sadow ==
These are notable members of Clan Naga Sadow that have earned the right to bear the name of Sadow. It is worth noting that not all Sons/Daughters choose to display the title as their surname.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===Gamuslag===
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

===Tarthos===

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

===Inos===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

* Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

* Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

* The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

* The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

* One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

* While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

* One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

* Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

* One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

* Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

* Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

* The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders.

* Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

* The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

* The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

* Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

* The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

* Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

* A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

* The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

* The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

* The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

=== Sons and Daughters of Sadow ===
These are notable members of Clan Naga Sadow that have earned the right to bear the name of Sadow. It is worth noting that not all Sons/Daughters choose to display the title as their surname.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

===Tarthos===

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

===Inos===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

* Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

* Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

* The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

* The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

* One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

* While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

* One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

* Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

* One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

* Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

* Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

* The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders.

* Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

* The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

* The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

* Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

* The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

* Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

* A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

* The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

* The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

* The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===Gamuslag===
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

===Tarthos===

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

===Inos===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

* One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

* While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

* One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

* Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

* One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

* Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

* Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

* The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders.

* Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

* The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

* The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

* Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

* The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

* Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

* A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

* The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

* The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

* The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===Gamuslag===
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

===Tarthos===

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

===Inos===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

* The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders.

* Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

* The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

* The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

* Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

* The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

* Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

* A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

* The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

* The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

* The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===Gamuslag===
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

===Tarthos===

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

===Inos===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

====Gamuslag====
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

====Tarthos====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

====Inos====

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

====Gamuslag====
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
|image=[[File:Dentaaviprime.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dentaavi Prime station]]
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

====Tarthos====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

====Inos====

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

====Gamuslag====
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===The Dentavii Belt===
{{main|Dentavii asteroid belt}}

The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

{{main|Dentavii Prime}}
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

====Tarthos====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

====Inos====

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

====Gamuslag====
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===Orbit Five: The Dentavii Belt===
The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

==== Dentavii Facility ====
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

====Tarthos====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

====Inos====

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

====Gamuslag====
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[File:Gamuslag.jpg|80x|right|thumb|Gamuslag]]
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===Orbit Five: The Dentavii Belt===
The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

==== Dentavii Facility ====
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

====Tarthos====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

====Inos====

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

====Gamuslag====
{{Main|Gamuslag}}
[[File:Gamuslag.jpg|140x|right]]
[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===Orbit Five: The Dentavii Belt===
The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

==== Dentavii Facility ====
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

====Tarthos====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

====Inos====

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===
{{main|Sepros}}
[[File:Sepros.jpg|250px|left|thumb|the ancient Sith world of Sepros]]
[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

====Gamuslag====

[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===Orbit Five: The Dentavii Belt===
The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

==== Dentavii Facility ====
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

====Tarthos====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

====Inos====

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
[[File:Aeotheran.jpg|250px|right|thumb|the ancient world of Aeotheran]]
{{main|Aeotheran}}
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===

[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

====Gamuslag====

[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===Orbit Five: The Dentavii Belt===
The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

==== Dentavii Facility ====
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

====Tarthos====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

====Inos====

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===

[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

====Gamuslag====

[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===Orbit Five: The Dentavii Belt===
The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

==== Dentavii Facility ====
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

====Tarthos====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

====Inos====

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

==== Order of the Black Guard ====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

=== Government and politics ===

=== Society and culture ===

=== Military ===
Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

===Aeotheran===
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

The mining colony of Seng Karash was at one time the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

Construction of the Marakith Skyhook was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

===Sepros===

[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

Located on Sepros are the [[Temples of Orian]]. These are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each was dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

Also of note on Sepros is the Simus Institute. The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

A repository known as the Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] served as the Keeper of the Archives.

====Gamuslag====

[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

===Orbit Five: The Dentavii Belt===
The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

==== Dentavii Facility ====
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

====Tarthos====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier.

====Inos====

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

==Native populations of the Orian System==

===The Outcasts===
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===The Ekind===
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===The Wookiees===
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

Temples of Orian

The '''Temples of Orian''' are a group of seven temples constructed around the central [[Palace of Orian]] on [[Sepros]] in the [[Orian system]] by the [[Sith Lord]] [[Urias Orian]] during the reign of [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] in the days of the old [[starwars:Sith Empire|Sith Empire]]. Most of the temples were eventually destroyed during the five millennia before the [[Disciples of Sadow]] took the system as their own.

==History==
The Temples of Orian were constructed over five thousand years ago during the reign of [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] in the days of the old [[starwars:Sith Empire|Sith Empire]]. The temples were positioned in a heptagram around the central palace. Each temple was devoted to one of the seven tenets of the [[Final Way]]. Through focusing the power of the dark side through the temples [[Urias Orian]] hoped to make himself immortal.

==The Seven Temples==
The Seven Temples were each based on one of the seven canticles of the [[Final Way]] which are today collectively known as the [[Way of the Seven Souls]]. The Palace of Orian stands at their center as a testament to the Final Way itself. It is unclear in what form Urias Orian himself understood the teachings or if he came by them independently of the teachings eventually passed down from [[Okemi]] to the [[Star Chamber]] over a millennia later.

The temples themselves are arranged in a heptagram formation around the Palace of Orian. Many of the temples have fallen into disrepair but at least the [[New Sadow Palace|Temple of Sorrow]] and the [[Temple of Steel]] still stand to some extent. Among the others some require extensive repairs, others are nothing but ruins.

===The Temple of Fire===
The [[Temple of Fire]] was one of the seven Temples of Orian. In 26 ABY the Clan discovered it was constructed on top of a large baradium deposit. Due to the strain the anti-alien warfare had already placed on the Dlarit Corporation’s resources, instead of constructing a new mining colony the Clan decided to take advantage of the native population. The Clan conscripted a number of local tribes to work as slaves in the new mine, ensuring a healthy profit on the black market.

===The Temple of Steel===
Following the restructuring of parts of the Dlarit Security Force into the Dlarit Special Operations Group, the [[Temple of Steel]] was selected to serve as the site of the commissariat for the new unit. The expansion of the ruins has mostly taken place under ground to maintain as minimal profile as possible. It is from here the commanding general of the Dlarit Defense Force monitors all security assets and oversees the system’s security. The actual troops of DSOG still use [[Kar Alabrek]] as a garrison like the rest of the DDF so only a minimal guard duty is maintained at the headquarters.

===The Final Temple: The Temple of the Voice===
The final temple is the Palace of Orian itself, otherwise known as the Temple of the Void, which stands at the center of the heptagram. The Temple of Orian was destroyed in [[11 ABY to 19 ABY|16 ABY]] by [[Trevarus Caerick]] during a fight with [[Kiln Tobasa]]. It was in the Temple of Orian that Urias Orian tried to conquer life itself but was instead sealed inside the [[Amulet of Orian]].

The temple was reconstructed in [[26 ABY to Present|28 ABY]] during Caerick and [[Darth Vexatus|his apprentice's]] quest for the planet [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] after discovering it held the secret of an ancient [[starwars:Star Map|Star Map]]. Later that year [[Jedgar Octavius Paladin|Jedgar Paladin]] assisted in drawing the Force back into the temple and recovering the knowledge of the Star Map. The temple remains standing but its history has made it a taboo in the eyes of the Clan, and so it remains empty.

== The Dark Side ==
Jonuss Rai was born J`Rai in the underbelly of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. When he was in his late teens, his father was forced to leave Coruscant and take his family with him because of gambling debts he owed several Hutts. After a short time in exile on a harsh jungle planet, J`Rai turned his father in to the Hutts (killing his mother and sister along with his father), collected the reward, and started a new life.

For a year or two he wandered, performing an odd job here and there as a mercenary. Eventually he found his way to an old hermit who claimed that he could sense the Force within the young man. J`Rai was pleased to hear these words and decided to get the man's claim checked out, after he killed him of course. This brought him to the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

J`Rai trained as a member of [[House Marka Ragnos]] of Clan Naga Sadow where he was eventually given command of the [[Night Death Phyle]]. During this time he was under the tutelage of Candeth Martine, who during a training exercise, intentionally removed J`Rai's left eye with his sickle and ordered him to make a new one using a power he had been teaching him. J`Rai succeeded in the task and had proven more adept at using the power than his own master. This angered Martine. After J`Rai became [[Aedile]] of Marka Ragnos, and had been granted the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]], Martine ceased to be his master and left the [[House]].

J`Rai was faced with trouble from the beginning of his time as Aedile as his [[Quaestor]], Iylan Kano, had gone missing. The newly appointed Aedile was forced to take command of the house during a Krath War. While the house did not come out of the war stronger than it had entered, House Marka Ragnos was not destroyed because of the leadership of J`Rai.

Shortly after the Krath War, Iylan Kano was removed as Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos and replaced with J`Rai who led the house for roughly six months before having to stand down due to personal reasons. He left the DB only to return a month or so later to take up the reigns of Primus Goluud Quaestor where he fought to rebuild the struggling [[Obelisk]] House.
[[Image:Cns-logo.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Clan Naga Sadow]]
His efforts were rewarded when the Clan Summit itself was drammatically shifting. [[Consul]] [[Darth Vexatus|Xanos Zorrixor]] was being elevated to the position of [[Sith High Warrior]] and [[Proconsul]] [[Trevarus Caerick]] was ascending to the role of [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood. J`Rai was asked to take command of the clan and assumed the throne of Naga Sadow as Consul. It was during this time that J`Rai merged with the spirit of his ancestor through a dark ritual and became Jonuss Rai. Choosing [[Malik Sadow|Malik]] as his Proconsul, Jonuss Rai immediately went to work to stabilize the clan's shifting leadership. It was during this time that both Malik and J`Rai were recognized for their loyalty to the clan. They were both awarded with the highest award that can be bestowed upon a member of Clan Naga Sadow: They had become Sons of Sadow.

Eventually Jonuss Rai Sadow's health was threatened and he was forced to step down as Consul, leaving Malik as his replacement. When his health stabilized once again, he returned to the clan and joined House Ludo Kressh, eventually becoming its Quaestor. This was a short reign however as he was not yet fully recovered from his illness and needed more time to heal. He stepped down but stayed as a member of the clan.

== The Light Side ==
Jonuss Rai discovered that his health issues were caused by his use of the Dark Side. During one of his sabbaticals that lasted more than two years, Rai discovered that the spirit of his ancestor that he had merged with had begun to fight back against his darker side. The conflict had taken a harsher toll on Rai's body than regular use of the Dark Side should have.

It wasn't long before Jonuss began to realize that he was feeling less and less angry and his control over the Dark Side was fading. His left eye, made entirely from Dark Side energy created by his rage, had begun to fade until eventually it disappeared entirely. Jonuss Rai had lost his connection to the Dark Side. The spirit of his ancestor had won.

He was not saddened by this fact, instead he realized it was what his path had been leading to all along. Through meditation and study of the Light Side, Jonuss restored his original eye and had taken his first steps towards the Jedi Path.

== The Jedi Path ==
Jonuss' teachings in the light had come from a manual that he had found during a journey to a jungle planet that had no name. The spirit of his ancestor led him there to a small, rotting hut that was saturated with the Force. Inside the hut was the entrance to a small underground cellar that housed many artifacts and supplies, most had been lost to time, but one survived. The manual of the Jedi Order: The Jedi Path.

Jonuss took the book and immediately felt its power. It was soothing and in his mind he could see his ancestor studying it nightly and meditating on what he had learned from it. He spent weeks on that planet learning from the book until he was ready to return to the Brotherhood.

== Return to Naga Sadow ==
In his absence, Naga Sadow had seen many changes. While the leaders and members were those he did not fully recognize, he was greeted with respect and fear. They knew who he was the moment he descended the gangplank of the shuttle. All bowed to him; except for the Sons.
The Sons of Sadow saw something different in him. They first noticed that his eye, which they knew to be Rai’s rage given form, had reverted to his original eye. That was the first indication that he had converted to the light. The second was that they felt no Dark Side within him. He had been purged.
The Son’s turned on him almost immediately. In a Dark ritual he was stripped of his title and the power that came with it. The shard of Naga Sadow’s soul that had been bonded to his spirit was ripped from him and he was discarded like trash. He barely survived but his faith in the Force guided him off of the planet and away from Naga Sadow territory.
That left only one option for him: House Odan-Urr.

== House Odan-Urr ==
The only light side house of the Brotherhood welcomed Jonuss Rai with open arms. Through the Force, however, he felt a calling here. It wasn’t long before Jonuss was asked to step up as Quaestor of the house. He readily accepted and began immediately bringing the teachings of the Jedi Path to the fledgling house.

Unfortunately for Jonuss, his time as Quaestor of Odan-Urr was short lived. With the coming of War, Jonuss felt a pull towards his dark side. The onslaught of the Brotherhood against the people of New Tython awakened his dark side once again. Though he tried to fight it, Jonuss Rai resorted to using dark side techniques in order to keep the members of Odan-Urr safe. This shattered his mind and he retreated to the archives of Odan-Urr after the war.
Ji, the leader of Odan-Urr before Jonuss, stepped up once again to fulfill his rightful place as Quaestor. He helped the former Son of Sadow regain some semblance of sanity though he could not completely banish his dark side. Jonuss was suffering from multiple personality disorder.

The light side was dominant but there were situations where Jonuss knew that his dark side would fight to come through and take control. To control this and allow Jonuss to keep his dark side suppressed, he created several mental blocks that act as barriers to the dark side within him. In times of need, he can lower these blocks and allow his dark side to awaken. Unfortunately for him, however, these blocks do not keep the voice of his dark side, which has taken back his birth name of J`Rai, quiet. He can regularly be seen arguing with himself.

Jonuss has secluded himself from his brothers and sisters in Odan-Urr while he continues to work on controlling J`Rai.

== Death ==
After his return to House Odan-Urr, the J'Rai persona purged from his mind, Jonuss began having visions of his own death, becoming more detailed as his end came closer.

During Odan-Urr's reclamation of New Tython, Jonuss Rai was killed. Before his death, however, he programmed a message to be sent to his former student on Iridonia requesting that he take his place in House Odan-Urr.

== DJB Facts ==

===Multiple Personality===
When Jonuss Rai is in full control, his features are calm and his use of the Force focuses on healing and non-lethal techniques. However, when J`Rai is awakened and unleashed, he is as dark as he was during his most violent days of Clan Naga Sadow. His left eye returns to the crimson energy eye that had been created by his rage (a signature of the former Son of Sadow) and his techniques are focused on killing his enemies as slowly and as painfully as is possible.

His lightsaber, a single weapon that is shaped like the body of a wolf, has been modified by both personalities. When Jonuss Rai uses it, he flips the internal activation switch that summons the sapphire blade he prefers. When J`Rai is dominant, he flips the internal switch that activates the crimson blade favored by many dark Jedi.

Neither one knows the location of the others switch and so they cannot pretend to be the other personality at all (one of the safety features Jonuss had built in to his mental blocks and controls for J`Rai).

===Sabers of Omen===
[[image:omensabers.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Sabers of Omen]]The lightsabers of Jonuss Rai Sadow are modeled after the fabled Saber of Omens that he had discovered after his knighthood in the Dark Brotherhood. Since that weapon was lost, he designed two new weapons upon his return to the Dark Side. Both weapons have no special abilities except that they can only be activated by the Force (the activation switches are located within the hilts themselves). Since his conversion to the Light, Jonuss Rai has stopped using these weapons and has gone back to using just one of the Twin Wolves.

'''Eye of Sadow''': The Eye of Sadow snaps to life with a crimson blade and houses the symbol of Naga Sadow in the central gem of the crossguard.

'''Eye of Kressh''': The Sapphire blade of the Eye of Kressh holds the symbol of Ludo Kressh in the central gem of the crossguard.
===Twin Wolves===
[[image:twin-wolves.gif|thumb|left|100px|Twin Wolves]]The lightsabers of Jonuss Rai Sadow, known as the Twin Wolves, howl as they snap to life. The red blade is for the Order of the Sith, to which the Warlord now belongs, while the blue blade is for the Order of the Obelisk which Rai belonged to while he was Quaestor of House Primus Goluud. Each hilt has a triangular design near the emitter that shows the colors progressing from red to blue, meeting in the middle is purple; the color of the Krath Order in which Jonuss Rai began.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

===== Order of the Black Guard =====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

=== Government and politics ===

=== Society and culture ===

=== Military ===
Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

=== Suns: Orian Major binary ===
Orian is located within an open cluster of several thousand closely arrayed stars. The system itself is a multiple star system consisting of two binaries designated [[Orian Major]] and [[Ombus|Orian Minor]], which are comprised of Orian Majors I and II, and Orian Minors I and II respectively. This means the system is in effect made up of four stars, the main center of mass being in the center of the Orian Major binary.

=== Orbit One: The Twins— Ulatyu and Nuvenpa ===

[[Ulatyu]] and [[Nuvenpa]] share a highly elliptical binary orbit with the much smaller [[Mukuru]] which orbits both as a satellite. Mukuru is often exchanged between the Twins during the period when their elliptical arc brings them nearest each other. On a stellar scale, all three planets orbit are still relatively young and Orian Major on the very edge of the inner protoplanetary disk. None are able to support life due to the intense heat and regular bombardment by the protoplanetary disk—and occasionally by Mukuru itself.

=== Orbit Two: Aeotheran ===
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

==== Seng Karash ====
The mining colony of Seng Karash is the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

==== Marakith Skyhook ====
Construction of Marakith was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

===== Mobile fortress =====
Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

==== Lor Zatean ====
After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

=== Orbit Three: Amphor ===

[[Amphor]] is a large purple gas giant and houses the second chief mining colony: the Sky City of [[San Korinar]]. During the time of the old Sith Empire, Amphor was highly industrialised by Urias Orian. Most of the ancient facilities have long since been swallowed up by the planet’s atmosphere, but a number of derelict ruins remain in the lower atmosphere. The gas giant is orbited by over a dozen small moons on which there exist further ruins; some of these, such as [[Amphor Six|Amphor 6]], have recently been renovated by the Dlarit Corporation with modern tech to resume mining operations.

==== San Korinar, the Sky City ====
The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

==== ''Miner’s Brother'' ====
The ''Miner’s Brother'' was a far range mining ship that arrived in the Orian system several millennia ago on a reconnaissance trip in search of new resources. The ship was struck by an asteroid and ultimately ended up in Amphor’s orbit. Recently, the wreckage was taken over by Macron Goura and converted for use as an [[starwars:Sith_Alchemy|alchemical]] research laboratory. In addition to the hidden Sith laboratory, the ship has been used as a weapons cache—in addition to the weapons and supplies it already had on it—and it is rumored a large number of ancient droid fighters are still in cold storage deep inside. It crashed into Amphor in early 38 ABY and was destroyed.

=== Orbit Four: Sepros ===

[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

==== Temples of Orian ====
The [[Temples of Orian]] are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each is dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

===== Temple of Sorrow: Sadow Palace =====
Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

====== Simus Institute ======
The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

====== Sadow Archives ======
The Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] has served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===== Temple of Fire =====
The [[Temple of Fire]] was one of the seven Temples of Orian. In 26 ABY the Clan discovered it was constructed on top of a large baradium deposit. Due to the strain the anti-alien warfare had already placed on the Dlarit Corporation’s resources, instead of constructing a new mining colony the Clan decided to take advantage of the native population. The Clan conscripted a number of local tribes to work as slaves in the new mine, ensuring a healthy profit on the black market.

===== Temple of Steel =====
Following the restructuring of parts of the Dlarit Security Force into the Dlarit Special Operations Group, the [[Temple of Steel]] was selected to serve as the site of the commissariat for the new unit. The expansion of the ruins has mostly taken place under ground to maintain as minimal profile as possible. It is from here the commanding general of the Dlarit Defense Force monitors all security assets and oversees the system’s security. The actual troops of DSOG still use [[Kar Alabrek]] as a garrison like the rest of the DDF so only a minimal guard duty is maintained at the headquarters.

===== Temple of the Void =====
The [[Temple of the Void]] is the central nexus of the Temples of Orian and served as the Sith Lord’s palace. The temple was destroyed in 16 ABY during a duel between [[Kiln Tobasa]] and Trevarus Caerick after the pair had rediscovered the system. Years later, Caerick and Darth Vexatus discovered the Star Map underneath the ruins and rebuilt the temple in 28 ABY in order to reactivate the Rakatan device and use it to learn the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]], the lost capital of the Infinite Empire. The temple remains standing but its history has made it a taboo in the eyes of the House and so it remains empty.

==== Native population ====

===== The Outcasts =====
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===== The Ekind =====
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===== The Wookiees =====
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

==== Sepros Major: Gamuslag ====

[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

===== Cenota Facility =====
Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

=== Orbit Five: The Dentavii Belt ===
The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

==== Dentavii Facility ====
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

=== Orbit Six: Orian Minor binary ===
The binary system of Orian Minor I and Orian Minor II orbits the main binary system of Orian Majors I and II some distance beyond the second protoplanetary disk (or Dentavii Belt). Like the Orian Major binary, in addition to orbiting the system’s main center of mass Orian Minors I and II also orbit each other in their own binary system. It is in fact Orian Minor that holds the outer protoplanetary disk in place, and the Orian system owes much of its current constitution to the Orian Minor binary keeping the Dentavii Belt from drifting into Orian Major. The gravitational pull of Orian Minor continues to draw part of the outer protoplanetary disk toward it in a spiral, meaning over time Orian Minor may one day – in a few millions of years– grow large enough to interfere with Orian Major.

==== Tarthos ====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

===== Alabrek Castle =====
Alabrek Castle was built millennia ago during the days of Urias Orian. When the Exodus was first being planned, the advance construction teams operated out of Alabrek when clearing the forests of Aeotheran to develop Seng Karash. After the Exodus, the garrison town of Kar Alabrek sprung up around the Castle to house the Dlarit Security Force. The Disciples of Ragnos re-established their Cathedral in one of the wings of the Castle as well as the Great Sadow Library which they serve as the [[starwars:Jedi_chronicler|chroniclers]] of. As the House’s military headquarters, the Castle has had to weather several attacks. The worst assault in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|29 ABY]] saw the destruction of the [[Ragnos Cathedral]]. Instead of rebuilding the Cathedral, the [[Ragnos Memorial]] was erected in honor of the dead, and the Disciples of Ragnos moved into the remaining wings of the Castle.

====== Great Sadow Library ======
After the main Sadow Archives in Sadow Palace, the Great Sadow Library constitutes the second half of the House’s collection of Sith lore. The Great Library contains several hundred thousand books and has been stored in Alabrek Castle since before the Exodus, having been one of the first things Trevarus Caerick ordered shipped to Orian. Regarded as one of the House’s foremost treasures, it is no accident that the library is located in one of the most heavily fortified buildings in the system. The library contains copies of most of the works stored in the Shadow Academy and original copies of several other tomes. Though most holocrons are stored in the main Archives, a number of the less restricted ones are kept in the Great Library. During the Invasion of Orian of [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|27 ABY]] the Great Library was the real target of the [[True Brotherhood]], and in the Battle of Inos in 29 ABY much of the Castle owed its survival to the reinforced shielding around the wing of the building that houses the library.

===== Kar Alabrek =====
The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier. Other than the security force and special operations barracks, the city also houses numerous training facilities, the military academy, and headquarters for Dlarit Intelligence and Military Police, etc. Where Seng Karash was formerly protected by the orbital fortress Marakith Skyhook, Kar Alabrek bolsters an almost impenetrable level of ground based surface-to-space weaponry and multiple layers of reinforced shielding. Unlike the tension between the employee and refugee populations among the colonies, Kar Alabrek’s population are of one mind in their service to the Corporation, and most of the security force personnel revere their black ops brothers in DSOG, dreaming of one day joining their ranks.

=== Orbit Seven: Inos ===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

'''Clan Naga Sadow''' is the comprised of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve the ideals of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. The modern age has seen the Clan move from beneath the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]], to acting as the [[Orian Authority]] over their home system up until the Clan’s exodus from the Orian system in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]]

== Brief history ==
{{main|Astronicus Era History| New Sadow Era History}}
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tales tell that he was led by the then-revealed spirit of [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. Astronicus sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The rule of the Overlord would see times of peace, of [[Exodus]] and the eventual resettling of the Clan in the Orian System.

A new Era for Sadow was born around 33 ABY, when the actions of the Grand Master would see the scattering of the Obelisk and Krath Orders, and the Clan began to move away from beneath the fist of their ruling Overlord. This general time period saw the formation of the [[Orian Authority]], the re-establishment of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and the Clan’s battles against the Dominion and later the Collective.

In 36 ABY, a Collective action would see the capture of the Orian system from Naga Sadow’s control, and consequently would place the Clan in Exodus aboard their Fleet. These events did not leave the Clan wandering without purpose, however. The Clan would wait. The Clan would reclaim their home once again.

== The Clan==

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Consul ====
The [[Consul]] represents the interests of Clan Naga Sadow on the [[Dark Council]]. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

===== Order of the Black Guard =====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

=== The Disciples ===
Cults within the Clan make up most of the membership. Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts. As such, many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei.

Though the Disciples of these cults were once split into various sects such as the [[ Disciples of Kressh]] or the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], the Disciples of Sadow encompass all members of the Clan, regardless of any cult or sect affiliations contained within its membership.

== Dlarit Corporation ==

The Dlarit Corporation was the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

The Dlarit Corporation was last known to be operating in the Orian system as an internal component of the Clan’s military strength.

=== Government and politics ===

=== Society and culture ===

=== Military ===
Whereas Dlarit once served as the military backbone of the Orian System and Clan Naga Sadow, the [[Warhost Army]] and [[Warhost Fleet]] of the Orian system now serve that role. Before the exodus from the system in 36 ABY, the Warhost was beneath the command of the Orian Authority, and thus fell underneath the hand of {{NagaCON}}, [[Araic Simonetti|Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti]] and [[Byron Cargas|Lord General Byron Cargas]] in their respective capacities.

== Astrography ==
{{main|Orian System}}

During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick.

Orian itself is a traditional solar system defined by a primary star with an inner and outer region divided by an asteroid belt. The primary star named Orian is a red giant suspected to be midway through its lifespan. A notable body within the system is the planet Ombus, once mistakingly referred to as Orian Minor because of the sheer luminosity of the planet as well as the low heat fusion that the planet generates. This luminosity is known to cause severe distortions concerning a traditional cycle between day and night on many planets within the system, something considered deeply irritating and erratic by many of the sentient lifeforms visiting or inhabiting Orian.

=== Suns: Orian Major binary ===
Orian is located within an open cluster of several thousand closely arrayed stars. The system itself is a multiple star system consisting of two binaries designated [[Orian Major]] and [[Ombus|Orian Minor]], which are comprised of Orian Majors I and II, and Orian Minors I and II respectively. This means the system is in effect made up of four stars, the main center of mass being in the center of the Orian Major binary.

=== Orbit One: The Twins— Ulatyu and Nuvenpa ===

[[Ulatyu]] and [[Nuvenpa]] share a highly elliptical binary orbit with the much smaller [[Mukuru]] which orbits both as a satellite. Mukuru is often exchanged between the Twins during the period when their elliptical arc brings them nearest each other. On a stellar scale, all three planets orbit are still relatively young and Orian Major on the very edge of the inner protoplanetary disk. None are able to support life due to the intense heat and regular bombardment by the protoplanetary disk—and occasionally by Mukuru itself.

=== Orbit Two: Aeotheran ===
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

==== Seng Karash ====
The mining colony of Seng Karash is the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the migrant refugee population left by the war with the Force-devoid aliens. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

==== Marakith Skyhook ====
Construction of Marakith was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the alien threat. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

===== Mobile fortress =====
Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

==== Lor Zatean ====
After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

=== Orbit Three: Amphor ===

[[Amphor]] is a large purple gas giant and houses the second chief mining colony: the Sky City of [[San Korinar]]. During the time of the old Sith Empire, Amphor was highly industrialised by Urias Orian. Most of the ancient facilities have long since been swallowed up by the planet’s atmosphere, but a number of derelict ruins remain in the lower atmosphere. The gas giant is orbited by over a dozen small moons on which there exist further ruins; some of these, such as [[Amphor Six|Amphor 6]], have recently been renovated by the Dlarit Corporation with modern tech to resume mining operations.

==== San Korinar, the Sky City ====
The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the war against the aliens , San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

==== ''Miner’s Brother'' ====
The ''Miner’s Brother'' was a far range mining ship that arrived in the Orian system several millennia ago on a reconnaissance trip in search of new resources. The ship was struck by an asteroid and ultimately ended up in Amphor’s orbit. Recently, the wreckage was taken over by Macron Goura and converted for use as an [[starwars:Sith_Alchemy|alchemical]] research laboratory. In addition to the hidden Sith laboratory, the ship has been used as a weapons cache—in addition to the weapons and supplies it already had on it—and it is rumored a large number of ancient droid fighters are still in cold storage deep inside. It crashed into Amphor in early 38 ABY and was destroyed.

=== Orbit Four: Sepros ===

[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

==== Temples of Orian ====
The [[Temples of Orian]] are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each is dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

===== Temple of Sorrow: Sadow Palace =====
Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

====== Simus Institute ======
The Force-devoid aliens proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

====== Sadow Archives ======
The Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] has served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===== Temple of Fire =====
The [[Temple of Fire]] was one of the seven Temples of Orian. In 26 ABY the Clan discovered it was constructed on top of a large baradium deposit. Due to the strain the anti-alien warfare had already placed on the Dlarit Corporation’s resources, instead of constructing a new mining colony the Clan decided to take advantage of the native population. The Clan conscripted a number of local tribes to work as slaves in the new mine, ensuring a healthy profit on the black market.

===== Temple of Steel =====
Following the restructuring of parts of the Dlarit Security Force into the Dlarit Special Operations Group, the [[Temple of Steel]] was selected to serve as the site of the commissariat for the new unit. The expansion of the ruins has mostly taken place under ground to maintain as minimal profile as possible. It is from here the commanding general of the Dlarit Defense Force monitors all security assets and oversees the system’s security. The actual troops of DSOG still use [[Kar Alabrek]] as a garrison like the rest of the DDF so only a minimal guard duty is maintained at the headquarters.

===== Temple of the Void =====
The [[Temple of the Void]] is the central nexus of the Temples of Orian and served as the Sith Lord’s palace. The temple was destroyed in 16 ABY during a duel between [[Kiln Tobasa]] and Trevarus Caerick after the pair had rediscovered the system. Years later, Caerick and Darth Vexatus discovered the Star Map underneath the ruins and rebuilt the temple in 28 ABY in order to reactivate the Rakatan device and use it to learn the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]], the lost capital of the Infinite Empire. The temple remains standing but its history has made it a taboo in the eyes of the House and so it remains empty.

==== Native population ====

===== The Outcasts =====
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===== The Ekind =====
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===== The Wookiees =====
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

==== Sepros Major: Gamuslag ====

[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

===== Cenota Facility =====
Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

=== Orbit Five: The Dentavii Belt ===
The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

==== Dentavii Facility ====
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

=== Orbit Six: Orian Minor binary ===
The binary system of Orian Minor I and Orian Minor II orbits the main binary system of Orian Majors I and II some distance beyond the second protoplanetary disk (or Dentavii Belt). Like the Orian Major binary, in addition to orbiting the system’s main center of mass Orian Minors I and II also orbit each other in their own binary system. It is in fact Orian Minor that holds the outer protoplanetary disk in place, and the Orian system owes much of its current constitution to the Orian Minor binary keeping the Dentavii Belt from drifting into Orian Major. The gravitational pull of Orian Minor continues to draw part of the outer protoplanetary disk toward it in a spiral, meaning over time Orian Minor may one day – in a few millions of years– grow large enough to interfere with Orian Major.

==== Tarthos ====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

===== Alabrek Castle =====
Alabrek Castle was built millennia ago during the days of Urias Orian. When the Exodus was first being planned, the advance construction teams operated out of Alabrek when clearing the forests of Aeotheran to develop Seng Karash. After the Exodus, the garrison town of Kar Alabrek sprung up around the Castle to house the Dlarit Security Force. The Disciples of Ragnos re-established their Cathedral in one of the wings of the Castle as well as the Great Sadow Library which they serve as the [[starwars:Jedi_chronicler|chroniclers]] of. As the House’s military headquarters, the Castle has had to weather several attacks. The worst assault in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|29 ABY]] saw the destruction of the [[Ragnos Cathedral]]. Instead of rebuilding the Cathedral, the [[Ragnos Memorial]] was erected in honor of the dead, and the Disciples of Ragnos moved into the remaining wings of the Castle.

====== Great Sadow Library ======
After the main Sadow Archives in Sadow Palace, the Great Sadow Library constitutes the second half of the House’s collection of Sith lore. The Great Library contains several hundred thousand books and has been stored in Alabrek Castle since before the Exodus, having been one of the first things Trevarus Caerick ordered shipped to Orian. Regarded as one of the House’s foremost treasures, it is no accident that the library is located in one of the most heavily fortified buildings in the system. The library contains copies of most of the works stored in the Shadow Academy and original copies of several other tomes. Though most holocrons are stored in the main Archives, a number of the less restricted ones are kept in the Great Library. During the Invasion of Orian of [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|27 ABY]] the Great Library was the real target of the [[True Brotherhood]], and in the Battle of Inos in 29 ABY much of the Castle owed its survival to the reinforced shielding around the wing of the building that houses the library.

===== Kar Alabrek =====
The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier. Other than the security force and special operations barracks, the city also houses numerous training facilities, the military academy, and headquarters for Dlarit Intelligence and Military Police, etc. Where Seng Karash was formerly protected by the orbital fortress Marakith Skyhook, Kar Alabrek bolsters an almost impenetrable level of ground based surface-to-space weaponry and multiple layers of reinforced shielding. Unlike the tension between the employee and refugee populations among the colonies, Kar Alabrek’s population are of one mind in their service to the Corporation, and most of the security force personnel revere their black ops brothers in DSOG, dreaming of one day joining their ranks.

=== Orbit Seven: Inos ===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the war against the Force-devoid invaders, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the alien attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Alien invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Alien War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the alien invaders. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the aliens finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other alien forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the alien's empire and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the war against the Force-devoid aliens saw the emergence of another Sith Order which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and one Sith Order. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the alien blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the home galaxy of the Force-devoid alien invaders, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the aliens' technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local alien holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

== Important Figures ==
