Black Wind Squadron is one of three [[starwars:Squadron|squadrons]] operating from the [[NSD Invicta]], a squad capable of carrying out nearly any general operation or mission for [[Clan Arcona]].

==History==
Black Wind Squadron was founded by [[Consul]] [[Sashar Arconae]] following the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]], the retaking of [[Antei]]. Dark Wind is one of the most crucial teams stationed on the [[NSD Invicta|''Invicta'']], primarily because it is currently only one of two superiority squadrons. Black Wind often carries out reconnaissance missions for the ''Invicta'', but is a very versatile squadron.

==Mission==
Black Wind Squadron is one of the three squadrons assigned to the Nebula in the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]], and their primary role in the fleet is to be the versatile fighters capable of carrying out any mission for the Clan. Each starfighter is trained to provide a variety of services in combat, both support, attack, and defend.

==Equipment==
Black Wind Squadron pilots use [[starwars:TIE/ad starfighter|TIE Avengers]] with the logo of Clan Arcona on both sides.

Talk:Project Reboot

2009-11-24T22:28:07Z

Driftan Housan:

This is something that should be taken up with the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master and Master At Arms privately. More than likely the name changes to the positions will be denied since it would cause conflicts within the database system and confusion amongst members of other clans - all official Clan positions must be the same for these very reasons. Not quite sure why this was put up here or why it was given the DJBWiki article portion either, but until we hear feedback from the GM, DGM or MAA on this matter the article will remain locked. --[[User:Tron|Tron]] 21:45, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

It was meant to be an article for a project being implemented in Arcona known as "Project:Reboot". I did not know that putting the word "Project" would automatically change it to "DJBWiki" then whatever. Is there a I can change the name to something else? And it has already been put into work and the upper level guys know about it. Can it please be unlocked? [[User:Driftan Housan|Driftan Housan]] 22:28, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Project Reboot

Project: Reboot is an organizational initiative within [[Clan Arcona]] that is designed to streamline the leadership structure of the clan and intentionally develop leaders for the future growth and excellence of the unit. This document is intended to give the case for change behind the initiative and how Project: Reboot is practically applied to the leadership within the clan.

==Case for Change==
Our case for change is that the Brotherhood's traditional positions are often overlapping and seemingly redundant. The old hierarchy is also limited to what works best for the simple-minded generations of leadership before us. Times change and so do we... ''or we die''. The Summit wanted an operating model that was both ''dynamic'' and ''focused on the needs of the membership''. The most common feedback we received during discussions and polling was that people wanted more one-on-one time with their leaders. We feet obligated to ensure that and, thus, make it one of the primary objectives in the reorganization.

The other feedback we received was that leaders wanted to feel empowered - ''to create real and lasting change within their units''. We are giving every leader that opportunity moving forward. They will be rewarded for their successes, and coached to overcome any perceived failures ('''opportunities'''). It creates an atmosphere to nurture leaders, not force them into the high-tiered leadership without the experience and tools necessary to succeed. It is also our hope that this creates further cohesion and team building within the sub-units of [[Clan Arcona|Arcona]].

==Structural Changes==
Along with the philosophical changes that will accompany Project: Reboot, there are a number of very practical organizational changes that will occur. The [[Consul]] will still steer the ship, and he will still be assisted by a [[Proconsul]]. Any additional tasks to assist the Consul will be assigned to the [[Rollmaster]](s), and those titles are assigned on a case-by-case basis.

We are creating a layered leadership format. The Consul will speak to a vision, the Proconsul will ensure that vision, and the execution of that vision will come from House Leaders ([[Quaestor]], [[Aedile]], [[Battleteam Leader]]). The titles within this system are a bit different, though.

{|width="400" style="text-align: left;" border="1"
! Project: Reboot Title !! Brotherhood Equivalent
|-
|Consul || Consul
|-
|Praetor || Proconsul
|-
|Magistrate || Rollmaster
|-
|Zone Leader || Quaestor and Aedile
|-
|Circle Leader || Battleteam Leader
|}

General membership will be assigned to Battle Teams. No exceptions. Each team will be lead by a Battleteam Leader and responsible - directly - to '''one''' of the House Leaders, not both.

===Brief Job Descriptions===
'''Consul''' - The Consul of Arcona is charged with casting a vision for the clan and developing the senior leaders within the clan. He acts as a conduit for the Dark Council down to the clan, and vice versa.

'''Praetor''' - The Praetor is the right hand man for the Proconsul, ensuring that his vision is implemented into the clan, working closely with the House leaders to see it come to fruition.

'''Magistrate''' - The Magistrate works on special project for the Clan Summit, sitting outside of the normal chain-of-command and reporting directly to the Consult.

'''Zone Leader''' - Zone Leaders are responsible for one or more circles (battleteams) within a House. The work closely with the Clan Summit and Circle Leaders to see that the vision of the Consul is executed.

'''Circle Leader''' - Circle Leaders are the first-line leaders within Arcona. They lead a team of 4-8 regular members, with their primary responsibility being to meet the needs of their members.

===Practical Implications===
The changes at clan-level leadership are mostly semantic in nature. They are made to place the Consul position more in line with the other [[Dark Council]]-level positions within the Brotherhood. As with the other DC positions, the Consul will be afforded the right to have a Praetor (Proconsul) and Magistrate(s) (Rollmaster) when necessary. Also, like the other DC positions, the Praetor is the main member being trained to replace the Consul when he feels it is time for him to step down from the position.

The real changes come at the House level. Here, there is a major transition in the way that Quaestors and Aedile (now Zone Leaders) will work. Instead of being responsible for a House of 20-40 people, the Zone Leaders will now be solely responsible for overseeing and developing one or more Circle Leaders (Battleteam Leaders) under their command. This allows the Zone Leaders to focus more on vision execution and leadership development rather than day-to-day membership concerns. Zone Leaders will have the authority and power to create any changes they deem necessary...take away a team? Done. Add a team? Done. These leaders will have great responsibility, and only the most proven Circle Leaders will be chosen for this position.

The other major change with Project: Reboot comes in the restructuring of how battleteams are led. When a member joins Arcona, they will be placed directly into one of the battleteams, coming under the direct supervision of a Circle Leader. It is this Circle Leader's job to ensure that the member has every tool necessary to succeed as a member of the Brotherhood. Day-to-day interactions with the members is the Circle Leader's number one priority as a leader. The true grind of leadership is now placed back into the laps of the first-line leaders, and Circle Leaders are empowered to lead and grow their members with much more authority and leeway.

==Long-term Plans==
Long term, as we grow, the vision is that Aediles will be phased out... and we will simply have Quaestors (Zone Leaders). Quaestors will manage their subordinate leaders and assist, but the actual leadership grind will come from Battleteam Leaders who are given absolute creative authority to stir their members and move in directions they want - fictionally and actually. In addition, as leaders emerge, the Zone Leaders will have the power to create any changes they want, making for a fluid and ever-changing structure that fits the needs of the House at any given time.

The lasting hope, however, is that teams will become small, individualized units comprised of anywhere from four or five members to nine or ten. In this way, teams will become more cohesive, and the overall goal of a quality member experience will happen more regularly and efficiently.

Given the choice to join the Brotherhood and serve its will or die with the rest of his gang crew, Driftan took the obvious survival route. Now, as a new member of [[Clan Arcona]], this former gang member looks to find a place where power, wealth and fame come to those who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve those goals.

Known by many as an outgoing, gregarious, winsome individual, Driftan Housan is often plagued by nagging thoughts of doom and the eventual fate that surely awaits him around some dark corner. This gang member and smuggler turned Dark Jedi finds himself in a precarious situation with the tentacles of the Dark Side luring him ever more into the dark recesses of his own soul.

Unlike most members of the Brotherhood, Driftan has often had to rely heavily upon his ability to talk his way out of a situation or win people over with his charming personality. Because of his average height and stature, Driftan does not inspire much fear in people that cross his path, so being more cunning or deceptive has served this rogue well over the years. The interesting choice that Driftan faces now is the lure of destructive power over his tried and true method of winning people over to his side. Only time will tell if the Dark Side is able to completely consume this young Dark Jedi and turn him into one of the dark and destructive Jedi’s of history past.

Driftan's father was a machinist and supervisor with Kuat Drive Yards, specializing in custom ships for wealthy patrons. Because of the trust and prestige of Devon's job the Housan household lived comfortably, enabling Driftan to receive a private education that was above what others in his social class may have achieved. From a young age Driftan's father was mentoring him to take his place as a supervisor within the Drive Yards, but even at a young age Driftan had dreams of his own.

=== Into the Arms of the Brotherhood ===
Following a mission he had just completed for the Red Hawks, Driftan was led by an unknown Dark Jedi to the planet of Arconae Primus. Once there, Driftan and his crew were captured by three members of House Qel-Droma. Three of Driftan's crew were immediately executed, with Driftan being given a deadly choice of whether to live or die. It was at this point that [[Sanguinius Tsucyra]], one of the Dark Jedi holding Driftan captive, gave him a choice to either kill his crew member and join the Brotherhood or die at the hands of the Jedi. The decision was obvious for a man who grew up looking out for himself, and at this point Driftan made his descent into the Dark Side of the Force.

{{quote|Light is limited; Darkness is infinite.|'''Arcona Clan Motto'''}}

{{quote|First to wake, last to die Do or Do Not; there is not try Domination of every foe Arconan shadows take control|'''Dalthid'''}}

'''Clan Arcona''' is one of six remaining Dark Jedi [[Clan|Clans]] within the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood of Dark Jedi]]. It currently has two constituent [[House|Houses]]: [[House Qel-Droma]] and [[House Galeres|Galeres]].

For a summary of the clan, see the [[Clan Arcona Prospectus]].

== History ==

The history of Arcona can best be heard through '''The Hymn of Arcona''' as written by [[Vassan Rokir]]:

From time in memorium, a battle we wage 
Between Clans of Swordsmen, Pilot and Sage. 
In knowledge and blood our successes gaged. 
And victory upon victory, like a fine wine we age. 

First there was [[Nighthawk]], our founder on high 
He whose vision of glory none could deny: 
"A legacy of power!" to the stars he did cry 
And born was Arcona, here her history I scry. 

Thus, like a child, a noble House were we; 
Noble in mind, noble in arm, noble in philosophy. 
Whence then came a tumult, within CSP, 
Our House doors were opened, host of sanctuary. 

Dark Jedi of Palatinae, disillusioned by conflicts internal 
Parted thus, but found life as "rogue" to edge on the infernal. 
Wise Quaestor Nighthawk, plotting a legacy eternal 
Made bastion of our lands, and unto the rogues were we paternal. 

New allies made we, of the Palatinae Jedi; 
So strong was their bond that they did decide: 
"Our allegiance to Scholae be damned and defied; 
True brothers have we in Arcona; our faith be undenied!" 

And with speed our Father House, noble and strong, 
Grew in size and power, making richer a rich history already long. 
And soon, with volume and zeal was struck the gong: 
"A House we stand, but united a Clan!" came the glorious song. 

But among the loyal revelers, a rotting faction brewed: 
Rogue Jedi of [[Scholae Palatinae]], in jealousy they stewed. 
Presently, a defection back to their origins ensued, 
And Clan Scholae Palatinae was to be hollowly renewed. 

With tails between legs, the Scholae Jedi fled, 
But not all escaped without first being struck dead. 
Six conflicts I speak now, sure to be read; 
Noble Arcona robbed six Palatinae of their treacherous heads: 

Obelisk Blazer and Obelisk Morth cornered a pair. 
With a leap and a slash, Morth's saber did flare 
And cleft one in twain, as then did Blazer dare 
To slice the other's belly, a cut no thicker than a hair. 

To their ships ran another two, eager to escape their fate. 
Into orbit they flew, but followed by Sith hunger, needing sate. 
Shotgun and Shark, in their TIEs with the enemy did their sights mate 
And with flicks of trigger, explosive retribution did they create. 

And of the last two I speak, were felled by the powers of Krath. 
Sensing two that remained, Nighthawk and [[Voranyen d'Tana-Arconae |Voranyen]] released their wrath. 
Using the Force, the kind that comes from the Dark path, 
They did crush two throats, leaving six bodies, as says the math. 

And so the battle was done, many traitors had paid 
Their lives for their "freedom" was their futile trade. 
And through conflict's heat the stronger were we made 
That the dark flame of Arcona would never fade. 

So here the tale of Arcona we begin; 
Clan forged in darkness, fire, and the wages of sin. 

==From House to Clan==

===Inception===

In 14 ABY, under the first reign of Grand Master Khyron, the Brotherhood had four Clans; Scholae Palatinae, Satal Keto, Aquillas and Tarentum. The Independant House Naga Sadow also vied for dominance within the Aurora galaxy. It was during those days that the Empire Reborn was crushed, and the fall of the Disciples of Ragnos, a rival Sith cult, came about.

A Sith Warrior by name of Donitz sought to forge a new Independant House, and after gathering enough support, House Arcona was forged.

===Expansion===

Shortly before winning the Orthanc from Satal Keto, Quaestor Nighthawk was granted permission to convert the Independent House into a Clan.

Our militant House, Galeres was created to hold the front-line fighters. With legendary battleteams such as the Dark Orb Phyle and Soulfire Brigade, the House spelt out dominance and rulership from their barracks on Garrida. It later became aligned with the Obelisk Order following the benediction of Grand Master Khyron.

House Qel-Droma was created to provide mystical strength to our arsenal, offering guidance and education to all who sought it. From the moon of Mar Sala, the House bided its time, safeguarding Arcona's temple. It was the perfect choice for future alignment with the Krath.

===Scholae Palatinae's Loss; Arcona's Gain===

A major tragedy befell Clan Scholae Palatinae, and the Clan was destroyed at the hands of the [[Star Chamber]]. Many of the survivors are offered salvation in Arcona, which for a short time takes in Houses Acclivis Draco and Dorimad Sol. These two Houses are later merged to forge the third permanent House of Arcona: Oriens Obscurum, the rising darkness. Oriens is later chosen to oversee our naval fleet, defending Coronada space from their base on Joharta.

===First to Wake===

Arcona’s first brush with Clan Taldryan, widely regarded as the greatest vendetta Clan in the Brotherhood, did not end well. Their recently won prize from Clan Satal Keto, the [[M/INT Orthanc]], was pried from their hands. Smarting a bit, Clan Arcona built up its assets and strengthened, biding its time.

The Second Great Jedi War was the first major vendetta Arcona was involved in, and they did well, placing second behind House Ektrosis. Arcona’s military was one of the leading forces against the pirates that fought the Brotherhod, and as such Grandmaster Khyron saw fit to award them a Carrack cruiser, the [[CRCK Nighthawk|Nighthawk]].

By the time the Third Great Jedi War came around, the Clans had already begun to attack each other, and the conflicts evolved into a full scale clash for supremacy in the Brotherhood. Arcona held its own, and rode a wave of success and growth into their next major engagement, in the next GJW.

In 17 ABY the Fourth Great Jedi War took place, and Arcona was sent out on a hunt for a precious item. They did well, but slipped to fourth place, behind their new rivals, Clan Scholae Palatinae. A bit disappointed, the Consul led his members back to their home system so they could nurse their wounds from the quest and continue to grow internally.

The Fifth Great Jedi War, in 18 ABY, found Clan Arcona in a time of desperation. The Clan was weakened by an attack on its assets at the outset of the war, as its military and ships were decimated after bearing the full force of the Brotherhood’s enemies. [[Vassan Rokir]] was made Consul in the middle of the war, and was tasked with bringing the Clan back up to par.

=== The Exodus ===

In 19 ABY, the Exodus, one of the most difficult times for the Brotherhood, hit Clan Arcona hard as well. Most of the events of the Exodus in Arcona are lost to the ages, but historians have worked tirelessly to try and puzzle out the facts and fictions about what happened all those years ago.

Nearly all of both Houses chose to go with the Brotherhood, and hastily packed everything they could carry with them. However, many treasured items were left behind because they could not be carried by those fleeing the Coronada system. The Exodus hit House Qel-Droma the hardest of the Arconan Houses. Being primarily a Krath House, and having to determine between irreplaceable and expendable items like databases, records, and artifacts in a short time, it was particularly painful and difficult during the split.

Uncertainties abounded about whether or not Arcona would even get a new home, and shadowed whispers plagued the Clan for some time. However, Ulic Qel-Droma’s Book of Shadows served to guide the Summit to a new system, Dajorra. Those members that remained loyal to the Consul packed up their belongings and headed for the new system. Upon arrival, a makeshift base was thrown up on the planet Sukhur, one of the harshest planets in the system.

Houses Galeres and Oriens Obscurum both planned to construct their headquarters on Eldar, but only one was permitted. So, Vassan Rokir, Consul at the time declared a Feud between the two Houses over the planet, and vicious combat began immediately. After the feud had concluded, Galeres was shown to be top dog, and was given Eldar.

===Arconan Shadows Take Control===

Shortly after the Exodus, Consul [[Mejas Doto]] became leader of the Clan, and immediately began to strengthen the group. They defeated their rival Clan, Scholae Palatinae, in a Feud. The victory served as an enormous confidence booster, and propelled the Clan into the first Independence Games in 2003. In those Games, Arcona had another strong showing, taking second place and claiming their due glories. Consul Mejas watched his Clan grow more powerful by the day, as they shifted to prepare for their next challenge under his watchful eye.

In 21 ABY, under Consul JaM3z Lucius Entar, former Proconsul under Mejas, the Clan continued to thrive. They were the driving force in the Invasion of Antares, coming in a strong second place to Clan Tarenum in the “Third Sith War”. In these days, Clan Arcona was one of the biggest hitting Clans in the Brotherhood, and the Arconans were eager to prove it again and again. That same year, the War of the Star Chamber took place. Chaos seized the Brotherhood, and horrible warfare tore at the very fibers of the Dark Jedi. When the conflict was finally ended by Lord Firefox, the Grand Master decreed the [[Clan Taldryan]] had narrowly edged [[Clan Tarentum]], with Arcona showing up in a strong third.

Towards the end of James Lucius' tenure as Consul, the K'hamar'an Crisis took place as a result of mystery swirling around in the Shadow Academy. Unforunately, Clan Arcona struggled during the invasion, losing many military personnel and equipment. Limping back to Dajorra, Arcona was declared fifth, and left alone to rebuild under new Consul Vassan and Proconsul a`Lan Mandragoran. It was late in 22 ABY at the time, with [[Jac Cotelin]] as Grand Master, when Antei was invaded and brought under full government control. Even as the Brotherhood thrived, Arcona slowly weakened.

The Invasion of Coratua called the warriors of Clan Arcona sooner than Consul Vassan would have hoped, as they were sent off to Coratua in 23 ABY. Arcona's faithful fought hard against the pirates, but still struggled in comparison to their past glories. A fifth place finish sent the Clan reeling once more, and a`Lan Mandragoran was given control of the rebuilding efforts. He did the best he could, and the Clan stabilized as things seemed to be looking up. However, the treachery of Clan Taldryan nearly led to all-out war between the two Clans.

[[Halcyon Rokir]] was the new Consul of Arcona, and during his reign the [[Selen Incident]] took place. Taldryan agents infiltrated Clan Arcona's home system, and both Dark Jedi were captured and held on Selen. Taldryan sent a large fleet to surround the Arconan headquarters, and Halcyon and Duga, Consul of Taldryan, verbally derided each other's actions. The situation was diffused, however, and any disagreements were put behind the Clan as they entered the Seventh Great Jedi War. Turning around its recent struggles, Arcona took a proud third place in the GJW, defeating their rivals, Clan Scholae Palatinae.

Strategos Thanatos Entar was the next Consul of Arcona, and he helped keep the Clan on its toes before the inevitable invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong forces. He led them through the [[Second Darkness]], finishing in a close fourth place. His tenure as Consul lasted two full years, but he relinquished leadership to [[Timeros]] during the [[Eighth Great Jedi War]]. During the Incursion, the Yuuzhan Vong smashed the Brotherhood defenses, and Arcona was effected more severely than most of the other Clans, having their home system of Dajorra torn from them. Homeless, they were left to fend for themselves aboard their fleet.

===Last to Die===

Mejas Doto returned as Consul in 28 ABY to take charge of the rebuilding efforts. He led the Clan very well, and they bounced back as best as possible from the horrifying defeat at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong. The Zabrak Master pulled Arcona into the 2008 [[Independence Games]], where they placed a notable third, gaining a bit more muscle back. Mejas served as Consul for over a year, before stepping down for [[Sashar Arconae]] to take over.

== Houses of Arcona ==

=== House Galeres ===

[[Image:Galeres.jpg|thumb|100px]]

{{main|[[House Galeres]]}}

House Galeres is a breed apart from the rest of Arcona and even the rest of the Brotherhood. Instead of focusing their energies into matters of the force and the mastery of lightsaber combat, members of Galeres usually face two other tasks. Galeres is heavily involved with the underworld of the galaxy. This includes black marketeering, smuggling, bounty hunting and occasionally slaving. Galeres is always heavily involved in the seedier side of the galactic machine and is well-versed in underhanded dealings and criminal activities. It even goes so far as to rent out its services to various criminal syndicates…as long as the price is right.

=== House Qel-Droma ===

[[Image:Hqd.jpg|thumb|left|100px]]

{{main|[[House Qel-Droma]]}}

House Qel-Droma usually aims to focus on the more stereotypical Krath events that are around in the Brotherhood, despite the multi-order nature of the house, Qel-Droma aims to focus energies on matters of the Force. In the past, Qel-Droma has been closed for short times, but has always come back stronger than ever.

=== House Oriens Obscurum (Closed) ===

{{main|[[House Oriens Obscurum]]}}

House Oriens Obscurum, a multi-order House that is now closed, was formed when Houses [[House Acclivis Draco|Acclivis Draco]] and [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]] were merged. Both Houses are now part of Clan Scholae Palatinae. One of the defining points of “HOO” is the success of its first Quaestor, Firefox, who would go on to be the Grand Master that led the Brotherhood through the Exodus.

==Logo Symbology==
[[Image:Arcona logo multicolor.gif‎|thumb|left|200px|Clan Arcona logo]]
# The logo as a whole is a stylized letter A (in the Star Wars droid font)...A for Arcona.
# The 3 sections of the logo represent the 3 orders within the brotherhood.
# The spikes along the top represent Arcona's aggressive stance and readiness for combat (mental and physical). In the multicolor version, these sections are red and blue, representing the two Orders that are more combat oriented.
# The eclipsing of the circle at the base of the logo and on the two arms is representative of the shadow encompassing the light (our Clan power).
# The circle itself is purple, representing the order that is less combat oriented and more inward thinking (note the two inward facing points at the base).
# Additionally, there are 3 eclipses, one over each logo section rather than just on the base due to the heavy presence of darkness and shadow amongst all three orders.

Given the choice to join the Brotherhood and serve its will or die with the rest of his gang crew, Driftan took the obvious survival route. Now, as a new member of [[Clan Arcona]], this former gang member looks to find a place where power, wealth and fame come to those who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve those goals.

Known by many as an outgoing, gregarious, winsome individual, Driftan Housan is often plagued by nagging thoughts of doom and the eventual fate that surely awaits him around some dark corner. This gang member and smuggler turned Dark Jedi finds himself in a precarious situation with the tentacles of the Dark Side luring him ever more into the dark recesses of his own soul.

Unlike most members of the Brotherhood, Driftan has often had to rely heavily upon his ability to talk his way out of a situation or win people over with his charming personality. Because of his average height and stature, Driftan does not inspire much fear in people that cross his path, so being more cunning or deceptive has served this rogue well over the years. The interesting choice that Driftan faces now is the lure of destructive power over his tried and true method of winning people over to his side. Only time will tell if the Dark Side is able to completely consume this young Dark Jedi and turn him into one of the dark and destructive Jedi’s of history past.

Driftan's father was a machinist and supervisor with Kuat Drive Yards, specializing in custom ships for wealthy patrons. Because of the trust and prestige of Devon's job the Housan household lived comfortably, enabling Driftan to receive a private education that was above what others in his social class may have achieved. From a young age Driftan's father was mentoring him to take his place as a supervisor within the Drive Yards, but even at a young age Driftan had dreams of his own.

Shadow Gate is a battleteam within House Qel-Droma that was founded in 31 ABY during the "Project: Reb00t" initiative. One of three battleteams currently in service under the Qel-Droma banner, it was created and founded by [[Driftan Housan]], primarily as a resource to test the up-and-coming Dark Jedi to find out if he is worthy of ascending the ranks of leadership within the Brotherhood.

This unique battleteam has also been tasked with overseeing and directing the economic ventures within House Qel-Droma, causing the leadership to seek out members who are less prone to jump into the fray of a battle, and more suited to working on the long-term plans and strategies of the Shadow Clan. Many look at Shadow Gate as inferior because of their unique designation, but true to the teachings of the Sith, this battleteam understands how to best use their resources for the Final Way, and allow others to be ground under foot on the path to ultimate power.

=Mission=

Shadow Gate has been charged with overseeing and operating the economic entities within House Qel-Droma. Specifically, Shadow Gate has its fingers in the smuggling of ancient artifacts for the traditionally Krath house, as well as working hand-in-hand with House Galares to trade the Garconian spice with the Hutt contacts Shadow Gate has developed.

'''Jackson Shinner''' – Jackson is a long-time associate of Driftan Housan’s, having served together in the Red Hawks gang back on Kuat. Shinner is renowned for his slicing abilities, and leads the team of slicers employed by Shadow Gate. Often withdrawn and untidy, Jackson nevertheless brings a set of skills and expertise that often gives Shadow Gate a strategic advantage over its competitors.

'''Sir Hanson Kryloth III''' – Kryloth is a relative newcomer to the Shadow Gate team, having been persuaded to leave his job with Seinar Fleet Systems to join the new battleteam in order to be the public face for many of the team’s public ventures. Kryloth brings with him many years of senior business leadership and provides insight into the trickier side of economic politics.

'''JUMBLE''' – JUMBLE is Shadow Gate’s administrative assistant droid. Designed primarily as a number cruncher, JUMBLE also serves as a great tool to bounce ideas off during strategic planning, as the droid is familiar with the vast majority of private and government enterprises throughout the galaxy.

=History=
==In Character==
===Founding===
The foundations for the creation of Shadow Gate were laid in late 31 ABY. Tension abounded in the halls of both houses of Clan Arcona. Everyone sensed that major change was on the horizon, and every Dark Jedi knew that change could spell life or death, fortune or despair for all involved. Strategos Arconae had just stepped down as Consul, and Sashar Arconae had resumed his roll as Consul, albeit in an interim basis. The House Summits of both Galeres and Qel-Droma had been summoned to the great Citadel on Selen, and word had been sent to all members of House Qel-Droma to return to Arconae Primus at once to await word of what was to come.

Upon return from the clan headquarters, Quaestor Legorii Entar and Aedile Sanguinius Tsucyra summoned Cethgus Kuga, Kant Lavar and Driftan Housan to a secret meeting. It was reveled to these three that they had been chosen to lead the new battleteams being created to serve the overall purpose and mission of House Qel-Droma. Cethgus would lead "Wolf Guard", the muscle of the house, typically the first unit sent in when full-scale battle was necessary. Kant would lead "Oblivion Brigade", the covert operations and intelligence arm of the house, renown for their ability to get the job done without leaving any traces. And, Driftan would lead "Shadow Gate", the economic engine of the house, skilled at acquiring any necessary object for the house and having its hands in any number of business ventures.

Utilizing funds stashed away for such improvements to the House, Driftan commissioned an addition to be built that would house the new battleteam and act as the command center for operations of Shadow Gate. This facility is officially known as the "Shadow Gate Operational Command Center", but is known colloquially as "The Sock". It was also during this time that Commander Housan brought in two outside specialists to aide the team in achieving their goals: an experienced business man, Sir Hanson Kryloth III; and a master slicer, Jackson Shinner.

Now, as the pieces fall into place, the members of Shadow Gate wait to be unleashed upon the foes of Qel-Droma and the galaxy at large, eager to make their mark and earn a place of honor within the hallowed halls of Clan Arcona.

===Founding===
On October 15, 2009 Proconsul Braecen Kaeth sent en email to Clan Arcona informing the clan that major changes were being made to how the clan was being organized and run. The reorganization was known as "Project: Reb00t", and the two main aspects of the reorg were that leaders are going to be held to a much higher standard, and that every member in the clan must be in a battle team.

The desired effects of this change are many, but the highlights included making battleteams relevant again by placing all members in a team, thus making Battleteam Leaders a position of true leadership and authority; creating a system where leaders are trained and evaluated on their performance, making Arcona known as a unit with skilled and active leaders; and most importantly, once again placing the members' needs at the forefront of leadership, where members have much more one-on-one time with their leaders, and leaders are expected to be proactive with the needs of their members.

As part of this new system, three new battleteams were created in House Qel-Droma to serve the membership. Shadow Gate is one of those teams, and Driftan Housan was chosen to lead the team because of his activity since joining the house and desire to be a leader within the clan. To balance Driftan's inexperience, former Consul Strategos Arconae was assigned as the new battleteam's Senior, a position created to give insight and guidance to new Battleteam Leaders.

=Characteristics=

=Base of Operations=
==[[Clan Arcona Prospectus|Base on Arconae Primus]]==
As part of the continued expanding and organization of the House, a new structure was erected near the existing House Temple. Commissioned by Protector Driftan Housan, this new building houses the operational command center for Shadow Gate and the myriad of support staff needed to fulfill the mandate of the new battleteam. The new facility has been dubbed “The Sock” by the members assigned to work there, a bastardized term taken from its official designation; Shadow Gate Operational Command Center [SGOCC].

Unlike other battleteams that focus primarily on the art of battle, Shadow Gate’s facilities were specifically designed with its primary mission at heart. Because of this, the SGOCC does not contain any hand-to-hand training areas or meditation centers, thus forcing the members of Shadow Gate to use the House facilities in the main base. Some may see this as a drawback and disadvantage to Shadow Gate, but the SGOCC makes up for this lack in many other ways.

Upon entering the SGOCC, one must pass through a series of security checkpoints before being granted access to the main portion of the facility. A platoon of soldiers from Division VIII within the Dajorra Defense Force have been assigned as permanent guards for the SGOCC, all thoroughly vetted to ensure their loyalty to the House due to the sensitive nature of their responsibilities.

After passing through security, one enters the main hub of command and control within the SGOCC. The center of the room is dominated by a large central processor, connected by secure and protected cables to the main Qel-Droma base, giving Shadow Gate access to the most up-to-date and secret information available to any team in the Clan. The central processor also allows members of the team away on missions to speak with anyone in the facility through a state-of-the-art hologram system that actually lets the members move and communicate from one room in the building to another.

Spread around the rest of the main room are a myriad of computer stations, communications centers and data screens, all providing up to date information on the different missions, trades, or financial institutions that Shadow Gate may be running at any given time.

At the rear of the facility is a massive conference room dedicated to the strategic planning and operational oversight of the entire enterprise. This is typically where Shadow Gate briefings are held and missions are assigned to members of the team. The conference room is also protected with state of the art electronic counter-measures and security devices, making it a virtual bunker for the team in terms of informational security.

Jackson Shinner – Jackson is a long-time associate of Driftan Housan’s, having served together in the Red Hawks gang back on Kuat. Shinner is renowned for his slicing abilities, and leads the team of slicers employed by Shadow Gate. Often withdrawn and untidy, Jackson nevertheless brings a set of skills and expertise that often gives Shadow Gate a strategic advantage over its competitors.

Sir Hanson Kryloth III¬ – Kryloth is a relative newcomer to the Shadow Gate team, having been persuaded to leave his job with Seinar Fleet Systems to join the new battleteam in order to be the public face for many of the team’s public ventures. Kryloth brings with him many years of senior business leadership and provides insight into the trickier side of economic politics.

JUMBLE – JUMBLE is Shadow Gate’s administrative assistant droid. Designed primarily as a number cruncher, JUMBLE also serves as a great tool to bounce ideas off during strategic planning, as the droid is familiar with the vast majority of private and government enterprises throughout the galaxy.

=History=
==In Character==
===Founding===
The foundations for the creation of Shadow Gate were laid in late 31 ABY. Tension abounded in the halls of both houses of Clan Arcona. Everyone sensed that major change was on the horizon, and every Dark Jedi knew that change could spell life or death, fortune or despair for all involved. Strategos Arconae had just stepped down as Consul, and Sashar Arconae had resumed his roll as Consul, albeit in an interim basis. The House Summits of both Galeres and Qel-Droma had been summoned to the great Citadel on Selen, and word had been sent to all members of House Qel-Droma to return to Arconae Primus at once to await word of what was to come.

Upon return from the clan headquarters, Quaestor Legorii Entar and Aedile Sanguinius Tsucyra summoned Cethgus Kuga, Kant Lavar and Driftan Housan to a secret meeting. It was reveled to these three that they had been chosen to lead the new battleteams being created to serve the overall purpose and mission of House Qel-Droma. Cethgus would lead "Wolf Guard", the muscle of the house, typically the first unit sent in when full-scale battle was necessary. Kant would lead "Oblivion Brigade", the covert operations and intelligence arm of the house, renown for their ability to get the job done without leaving any traces. And, Driftan would lead "Shadow Gate", the economic engine of the house, skilled at acquiring any necessary object for the house and having its hands in any number of business ventures.

Utilizing funds stashed away for such improvements to the House, Driftan commissioned an addition to be built that would house the new battleteam and act as the command center for operations of Shadow Gate. This facility is officially known as the "Shadow Gate Operational Command Center", but is known colloquially as "The Sock". It was also during this time that Commander Housan brought in two outside specialists to aide the team in achieving their goals: an experienced business man, Sir Hanson Kryloth III; and a master slicer, Jackson Shinner.

Now, as the pieces fall into place, the members of Shadow Gate wait to be unleashed upon the foes of Qel-Droma and the galaxy at large, eager to make their mark and earn a place of honor within the hallowed halls of Clan Arcona.

===Founding===
On October 15, 2009 Proconsul Braecen Kaeth sent en email to Clan Arcona informing the clan that major changes were being made to how the clan was being organized and run. The reorganization was known as "Project: Reb00t", and the two main aspects of the reorg were that leaders are going to be held to a much higher standard, and that every member in the clan must be in a battle team.

The desired effects of this change are many, but the highlights included making battleteams relevant again by placing all members in a team, thus making Battleteam Leaders a position of true leadership and authority; creating a system where leaders are trained and evaluated on their performance, making Arcona known as a unit with skilled and active leaders; and most importantly, once again placing the members' needs at the forefront of leadership, where members have much more one-on-one time with their leaders, and leaders are expected to be proactive with the needs of their members.

As part of this new system, three new battleteams were created in House Qel-Droma to serve the membership. Shadow Gate is one of those teams, and Driftan Housan was chosen to lead the team because of his activity since joining the house and desire to be a leader within the clan. To balance Driftan's inexperience, former Consul Strategos Arconae was assigned as the new battleteam's Senior, a position created to give insight and guidance to new Battleteam Leaders.

Driftan Housan:

{{Character
|type = Sith

|name=Driftan Housan
|homeworld=[[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]]
|birth=4 ABY
|species=Human
|gender=Male
|hair=Brown
|eyes=Brown
|height=1.78 meters
|weight=77kg

|position=Member, [[House Qel-Droma]]
|era=[[Dark Jedi Brotherhood Era]]

|dossier=[[dossier:10886|10886]]
}}

Given the choice to join the Brotherhood and serve its will or die with the rest of his gang crew, Driftan took the obvious survival route. Now, as a new member of [[Clan Arcona]], this former gang member looks to find a place where power, wealth and fame come to those who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve those goals.

Known by many as an outgoing, gregarious, winsome individual, Driftan Housan is often plagued by nagging thoughts of doom and the eventual fate that surely awaits him around some dark corner. This gang member and smuggler turned Dark Jedi finds himself in a precarious situation with the tentacles of the Dark Side luring him ever more into the dark recesses of his own soul.

Unlike most members of the Brotherhood, Driftan has often had to rely heavily upon his ability to talk his way out of a situation or win people over with his charming personality. Because of his average height and stature, Driftan does not inspire much fear in people that cross his path, so being more cunning or deceptive has served this rogue well over the years. The interesting choice that Driftan faces now is the lure of destructive power over his tried and true method of winning people over to his side. Only time will tell if the Dark Side is able to completely consume this young Dark Jedi and turn him into one of the dark and destructive Jedi’s of history past.

== Character History ==
=== Life on Kuat ===
Born to Devon and Lusian Housan of Kuat in 4 ABY, Driftan was brought into the galaxy during a tumultuous and dangerous time for the planet of Kuat. The Second Battle of Kuat welcomed Driftan into life, and the Third Battle of Kuat reminded Driftan at even a young age that this is a dangerous galaxy where only the strong and cunning thrive or survive.

Driftan's father was a machinist and supervisor with Kuat Drive Yards, specializing in custom ships for wealthy patrons. Because of the trust and prestige of Devon's job the Housan household lived comfortably, enabling Driftan to receive a private education that was above what others in his social class may have achieved. From a young age Driftan's father was mentoring him to take his place as a supervisor within the Drive Yards, but even at a young age Driftan had dreams of his own.
