Scholae Palatinae Master Student Program

2012-04-06T04:06:33Z

KaelFayne:

Master-Student Relationships go back to the days before [[starwars:Hundred-Year_Darkness|Great Schism]]. Inexperienced [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] have always found wisdom and guidance from more experienced mentors. In this fashion, student and master, the Jedi explored the Galaxy and became more in tune with the powers of the Force. Like the Jedi, the [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|forces of Darkness]] have also been reliant on the experience and knowledge of seasoned Force-users to their apprentices. Master and pupil, as it always has been, and always will be. This how a Dark Jedi develops into a true welder of the Dark Side.

== Program of Scholae Palatinae ==
The Master-Student Program is much more than simply passing knowledge of the Dark Side. Through the Master-Student Program the lasting bonds of fellowship are forged to the house, the brotherhood and to each other. The primary goal of this program is to help [[Journeymen]] have a greater integration into the Brotherhood while allowing the Master to pass on personal insights and experiences in a meaningful relationship. Masters use their experience and knowledge of the brotherhood to help their student grow and advance to be productive and integral parts of the house and Brotherhood. The relationship between Master and Apprentice are key to the success of the Brotherhood as a whole.

As the focus of this system is for the benefit of the Student, the program is flexible to the needs and abilities of the Student. At the rank of [[Protector]], Journeymen are permitted to enter into the program. To receive a master, the Journeyman needs to contact the [[Rollmaster]] or another Summit member. Alternatively if a Journeyman already is close to a potential master, they both should contact the Summit to inform them.

There was a time when the role of the Master was to be the direct teacher of the Student, but no more. Students are expected to be driven and able to advance without having their hand held through the ranks. The Master serves as a guide, pointing the student in directions that will make the journey to Dark Jedi Knight much easier as well as being able to give advice that can only come from the experience of being in the Brotherhood for periods of time.

With the Brotherhood wide [[Promotion Requirements]], the roles of a master have greatly changed. Once they were in charge the tasks the Student would endure, The Trials. However with the specific guidelines insuring fair and equal ways for all to reach Dark Jedi Knight the Tasks have become a thing of the past. Master’s guide and mentor the Student along the set of requirements. More importantly, it is the task of the Master to teach the Student of being a member of the Brotherhood. Students are the future leaders of the Brotherhood, and the role of Master is one that should not be taken lightly.

Beyond the position of Mentor and Student, the bond between Master and Student is a very strong one. In many cases Master and Student are very strongly allied and the bond should not be broken even through the tests of time.

=== Masters ===
In the Brotherhood today, Masters are mentors and aides to their students with the hope of educating them in the more complicated workings of the Brotherhood. Masters need to have a solid grip of the policies and functioning of the Brotherhood as to be able to clearly direct and inform their Students. There are several important traits a Master should have most importantly being patient. Students are still new and inexperienced in the Brotherhood and cannot be expected to know everything or pick up things after only hearing it once.

Masters are only allowed one (1) student at a time. Exceptions are only made in extreme cases and must have the approval of the [[House Summit]]. As well do not just assume a Journeyman is your apprentice. Confirmation is required by the Summit. As well with the recent revisions to Equite Promotion Requirements, in order to be promoted from EQ2 to EQ3, one must train a Journeyman to Dark Jedi Knight. This should not be the only reason to seek to be a master however, as the experience is very rewarding.

'''Master Requirements:'''

* Masters must at least be DJK, '''with Summit's approval''', in order to train a Student.
* Masters must maintain their own level of activity in the House; e.g. Participation, IRC, etc.
* Masters must have a 48-hour email turnaround
* Masters should be familiar with the [[Promotion Requirements]] for all the Journeymen Ranks
* Masters must be in good status with the House and Brotherhood
'''Master Responsibilities:'''

* Be aware and responsive to the needs of the Student
* Be available to aid and respond o the Student at all times
* Be helpful in every possible facet of the Brotherhood, or be able to direct the Student to those who can aid
* Inform the Summit when Student is within 1 requirement of Promotion and again when the Student is ready for advancement
*Provide a Recommendation for Promotion for the Student at the appropriate time; to be sent to the Summit who will send in the actual request
* Maintain constant support to the Student and be willing to encourage the Student to continue

=== Students ===
At the rank of [[Protector]] Journeymen may request to join the MSP. Before reaching this rank Journeymen are encouraged to find help from many sources and people to help the integrate. The House Rollmaster is expected to be the primary advisor prior to entering the MSP, and then as overseer of the MSP for these later ranks. As students are still new to the Brotherhood, there is no other requirement for them to enter into the MSP.

'''Advise to Students:'''

* Make sure the Master you end up with is someone you can work with.
* Try to remain open to suggestions and advise; Masters are the experienced ones and are not trying to lead you astray.
* Don’t be afraid to voice your opinion and thoughts. Ask questions and be involved. The more you interact with your Master the better they can help you.
* Remember the Brotherhood is here to be FUN!

{{Quote|Fearlessness in the one breeds fear into the many.|Kael Fayne}}

'''Kael Fayne''' is an [[Obelisk Templar]] hailing from the [[Scholae Palatinae|Royal House of Scholae Palatinae]]. The archetypical [[Obelisk|Obelisk Paladin]], Kael is a mixture of cunning intellect, obsessive-complusive training, and Imperial honor. Fayne currently lives on the Imperial Center of [[Judecca]], where he teaches history to school children by day. By night, however, Kael assumes the role of the '''Legate''', a symbol of Imperial power and might meant to inspire fear in the enemies of [[Scholae Palatinae|the Empire]] and pride in the Imperial citizenry.

Coming of age during the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]], Fayne made a name for himself in [[starwars:Galactic Republic|Republic]] militias as a brutally effective Marine before being dishonorably discharged by the Jedi Order for being too excessive in his interrogations of prisoners. As a history teacher on [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]], Kael took upon himself a similar role as that of Legate in order to shut down gangsters who were corrupting his students. After his secret identity was revealed to his enemies, Kael was set up for murder and punished by involuntarily having his body donated to science.

Fayne was thus imprisoned in carbonite as a test subject for [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]] from 13 BBY to 32 ABY until he was freed by Clone War acquaintance [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae]]. Blinded during the imprisonment, Kael opted to join the Brotherhood to develop his abilities in the Force and to continue championing Imperial ideals.


{{:Kael Fayne/PartOne}}
{{:Kael Fayne/PartTwo}}

== Personality and Traits ==
{{Quote|I am an agent of Order.|Kael Fayne}}

Kael is at his heart a warrior-sage, or Paladin, being every bit his father's logical intellectual and his mother's adventerous rogue. Crafty and relentless, Fayne can prove to be a very agrivating foe but a very dependable ally.

Unlike his father, however, Kael is an authoritarian who is devoted to many of the beliefs and ideals of the New Order as it was best represented by men like [[starwars:Mitth'raw'nuruodo|Grand Admiral Thrawn]]. Honor, duty, and order are the foremost virtues which Kael has sought to uphold as he ventures forth across the galaxy.

Ever since childhood, Fayne has had a problem with being obsessive and compulsive, driving him to settle only for perfection. Although such a drive has its own virtues, sometimes Kael is obsessive to a fault. Not unrelated, Kael is also very self-reliant, often choosing to stubbornly do things on his own than depend on others. In many ways this is do to a lack in his ability to trust others. Some believe this is why Kael has chosen to adopt the mantle of the Legate. Kael is, however, unquestionably loyal to those he does trust.

In terms of speech, it has been said on more than one occasion that Kael has only two modes: wise, and wise-ass.

== Powers and Abilities ==
[[File:kaelPB.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Fayne in his element]]
{{Quote|He endures like he is obeying a simple command.|Angelo Dante, referring to Kael's ability to take abuse}}

From his earliest days of target practice as a teen, Kael has foremost been known as a brash gunslinger, often dueling with two blasters instead of one. Entering into the Clone Wars, Kael learned how to use various rifles, but stubbornly kept to his pair of [[starwars:DC-15s side arm blaster|DC-15 Sidearms]]. Aided subconsciously by the Force, the Arkanian managed to survive many battles he shouldn't have, being proud of his ability to thread the needle of blaster fire and keep pushing forward.

Having trained alongside the Grand Army of the Republic, Kael learned [[Jakelian]] from some of the best instructors in the galaxy, remaining devoted to it to this day. Nevertheless, Kael does retreat to undisciplined brawling from time to time in an attempt to intimidate his opponent by showing he can't be hurt easily. Some go as far as to say Kael is more proud of being able to take a beating and survive than to dish out a beating and win. Though laughing at such a charge, Kael has never denied it.

Even though he was initially uncomfortable using a bladed weapon and especially one attached to the [[starwars:Jedi Order|Jedi Order]], the gunslinger soon learned to appreciate the Knightly nature of lightsaber combat. Under the tutelage of the late Angelo Dante, Kael has taken a particular interest in mastering the defensive form of [[Soresu]].

In regards to his Jedi powers, Kael primarily uses his supernatural abilities to augment his natural ones rather than relying solely on the Force. He does, however, have a particular knack for utilizing such powers as [[Fear]], [[Fear#Horror|Horror]] and [[Obelisk_Powers#Drain_Will|Drain Will]] to intimidate his enemies, especially during interrogations.

Other than his combat abilities, Kael is also a decent engineer, capable slicer, and even a fair pilot. He cannot, however, cook or clean.

==View of the Force==
{{Quote|There will be no Order unless we are it.|Kael Fayne}}

In his studies, Kael has noticed what he believes is an underlying contradiction in the way the Jedi view the Force and how it functions in their lives. Although their formal teachings would not impute to the Force personhood, the Jedi act otherwise. For example, they seek to "serve" the Force. Likewise, they desire to follow the Force's "will," which they see as an active, intelligent guiding principle that controls the events of the universe.

On the contrary, Kael feels he is more consistent in regards to the Force, believing it to be exactly what the Jedi say it is: an energy field that is created by all living things. Fayne believes "serving" the Force would be akin to serving a shield generator for the energy it provides around the ship. Likewise, it would be foolish to expect an energy field to bring about order and meaning in the universe. Thus, instead of being served, Fayne sees the Force as something to be used to bring about the order that is so lacking in a universe of relative chaos.

KaelFayne: Updated wiki to reflect skyrim addiction (Dragon of Judecca)

{{Transclusion|article=[[Kael Fayne]]|pages=[[Kael Fayne/PartOne]] - [[Kael Fayne/PartTwo]]}}
<onlyinclude>
=== '''The Brotherhood (32 ABY - Present Day)''' ===
==== '''The Shadow Academy and Scholae Palatinae (INI-PRT)''' ====
[[File:Csp-logo2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Clan Scholae Palatinae]]
{{Quote|Master Fayne, I can continue reading, but really, the others have already gone to bed!|One of the Shadow Academy's [[starwars:C-3PO|C-3PO]] units}}

Upon passing the initial tests regarding Force potential given to all recruits, Kael was soon granted the rank of [[Initiate]] and transferred aboard the '''''[[Arcanum]]''''', the mobile home and flagship of the [[Shadow Academy]]. Fayne instantly felt at home as familiar sounds, namely the rhythmic marching of combat boots, flooded his senses with memories of the Clone Wars. Although many regarded him at a disadvantage because of his blindness, Kael's intrinsic obsession with studying and training led him to stand out amongst his peers. Each lesson in the Force opened more the blind Initiate’s "new eyes", creating in him a further thirst for more. Such a devotion to his own personal training naturally led the new Initiate to embrace the [[Obelisk|Obelisk Order]].

Kael's eagerness soon impressed many, leading him to be promoted to the rank of [[Apprentice]] and granting him the ability to join a [[Clan]]. It was not long before Emperor [[Thran Occasus]], [[Consul]] and leader of then Royal Clan of [[Scholae Palatinae]], visited the Academy in search of new Prospects for his Empire. Having studied the Arkanian's history before approaching him, Thran presented a convincing case that Kael would fit in perfectly within the Empire. As icing on the cake, Thran also told Kael there was candy inside his personal shuttle for all new recruits. Not unsurprisingly, Kael was sold.

Arriving on then [[House]] [[Dorimad Sol]]'s base planet of [[Caina]], the new Jedi Prospect felt as though he had returned home as the icy breeze reminded him of Arkania. Fayne had spent the trip studying the Royal Clan, being confirmed in his decision as he learned more how Scholae Palatinae retained much of Imperial traditions.

Having become accustomed to being blind and relying on his other senses, Kael once more began to pick up his blasters and resumed combat training, finding even greater efficiency than when he could see the more he augmented the Force to his natural instincts. Constant training as well as studying via remote in the Shadow Academy earned Kael several quick promotions, attracting the attention of [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], the Duchess of Scholae Palatinae. Having heard of the Duchess' reputation within the Clan, Kael was pleased to accept her proposal of [[Scholae Palatinae Master Student Program|Apprenticeship]].

[[File:sta.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Anteian Cross awarded to Kael Fayne]]
==== '''RoS: Spoils of War (PRT-GRD)''' ====
{{Quote|During Wartime, men and women of valour have historically turned into heroes. |[[Muz Ashen]]}}

As Kael attained to the rank of [[Protector]], the news of a [[Rite of Supremacy]] being declared on Salas V immediately interrupted his training. Not quite sure of the significance of the event, the Arkanian suddenly found himself on a foreign war zone fighting with the [[2nd Caina Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|33rd Legion]], better known as the Crimson Knights. The initial battles were fierce and merciless, as incompetence led to countless, unnecessary deaths. Having endeared himself to many who had fallen, Kael refused to fight under the unit's Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Thilvera. Upon being confronted with charges of treason, Fayne challenged the pompous Commander to a duel, which led to the Protector slaying Thilvera and taking her place. Fearful of possible reprisals, Kael ordered his troops not to report to Clan or House leadership on the matter, saying he would do so when the time was right. The Arkanian's respect among the common soldier led each to keep this charge.

Even though his only tactical training had been through studying history, Kael's common sense and Clone War experience allowed him to be a reliable Commander. The Crimson Knights won several battles under his command, including handing two crushing defeats to the forces of [[Plagueis|Clan Plagueis]]. Nearing the end of the conflict, the 33rd Legion was specifically called in for cavalry support by Clan leadership on the behalf of two other legions who were engaged against Clan Plagueis. Although the Crimson Knights managed to cover many of the retreating forces, Kael was struck in the chest by a random blaster bolt, taking him out of the battle for the time being. After immediate medical treatment, Commander Fayne returned to the battle field. This act, considered a [[starwars:Jedi_trials#Trial_of_the_Flesh|Trial of the Flesh]], further cemented the young man's trust among the Legions, and earned the Protector a field promotion to [[Guardian]].

{{Quote|Surprised? I always use a double when I know that woman is in town. And do you know how much effort goes into finding a double that looks this good?|[[Thran Occasus]], revealing who Kael had actually killed}}

As the combat forces of Clan Scholae Palatinae left Salas V for the [[Cocytus System]], the revelation of Kael's usurpation and subsequent heroics was made to Clan leadership. Kael, expecting to be disciplined or killed outright, was awarded an [[Anteian Cross]] by the Royal Clan along with several other accolades from the [[Dark Council]], including the title of [[Spoils of War|Champion of the Rite]]. Although glad to make it out alive, the newly promoted Guardian was left hollow by how many had died just so his Clan could finish next to last. His master, as well, became withdrawn after the conflict and Kael was left to study many weeks by himself.

When Ras finally reestablished contact with Kael, she came to him with an offer that peaked his interest. Much of the blame for the disaster on Salas V was quietly being laid at the feet of Scholae Palatinae's playboy Consul and Emperor, Thran Occasus. Ras' clever plan was for her apprentice to sneak past the [[Judecca#Imperial Palace|Imperial Palace's]] security, which was lax after the Rite, and place a pressure-triggered bomb under the Consuls' favorite pleasure bed. Ras, knowing well the kind of women Thran liked to entertain, would then hire two prostitutes to lure the Consul back to the Palace for a night that would be of want for sleep. The plan seemed to have succeeded while Kael watched from afar as an explosion sent the Palace's white walls in chunks toward the heavens. However, as Kael retreated to his speeder, Occasus was waiting for him, revealing that he had used a double that night. After beating the Guardian mercilessly for several moments, Thran finally relented, stating that Jedi with such potential as Kael's would be necessary to rebuild the Royal Clan's reputation.

Ironically, the event would later be used to recommend Kael's promotion to the rank of [[Jedi Hunter]]. Even more ironic, Thran and Kael, who are rather polar opposites of one another, are now friends.

{{Quote|For a blind man, these reconnaissance reports are quite good.|[[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae]]}}

Worried that Ras' lack of attention may waste one of her Jedi's potential, [[Quaestor]] [[Robin Hawk]] soon sought out Kael as an apprentice of her own. Even though he had essentially made it to Jedi Hunter by himself, Kael could not resist the temptation to use his Quaestor's influence to better his chances of passing his final trials. Ironically, this out of character lack of self dependence would eventually cost Kael the very thing he wanted to ensure.

Nevertheless, Kael started quickly on his last trials, readily accepting a scounting mission from Brent Ligur Victae to further catalog information concerning the Cocytus System, the Home of the Empire. The pair began first by scouting a few planets together, allowing Kael to learn much from the much more experienced Jedi before they seperated. Although a few of the local moons Kael visited by himself were friendly, most proved dangerous, testing the Jedi Hunter's mettle with numberous [[starwars:Jedi_trials#Trial_of_Courage|Trials of Courage]]. Kael's resolve, however, allowed him to bring back extensive reports concerning several moons, including [[Gressil]], [[Sereia]], [[Barbatos]], [[Astaroth]], and [[Vetis]].

For his help, Brent used his influence to put in a good word for Kael with Brotherhood Leadership, who appointed him Head Warden of the yet to be built [[Zepar_II#Kavinn_Maximum_Security_Prison|Kavinn Maximum Security Prison]] on [[Zepar_II]], one of the moons the two men had reconned together.

Impressed with Kael's continual growth, the venerable [[Angelo Dante]] became interested in the Jedi Hunter, offering to spar with him to develop his saber abilities. Kael was honored by such an offer, but was unwilling to admit the truth that he had yet to construct his own saber as he had grown so attached to his pistols. After postponing their sparing sessions, Kael spent the entire next month collecting various parts for his hilt, choosing a blue [[starwars:Adegan Crystal|Adegan crystal]] combined with the more common [[starwars:Nova crystal|Nova]] as the focusing crystals.

Kael's obsessive-compulsive attention to detail, however, led him to produce nearly a dozen hilts, each with a small inferiority that caused the Arkanian to start over. The end result was a weapon of utmost craftsmanship, distinguished not by its outer apperance but by its supremely efficient circuitry and its ability to take abuse and still function, much like its owner.

Desiring to make his name known amongst the Brotherhood, Kael answered the call that had gone out from the [[Combat Master]] of the [[Antei Combat Centre]] requesting all [[Journeymen]] who wanted to prove themselves to take part in a grand tournament. Kael knew this would be seen as a [[starwars:Jedi_trials#Trial_of_Skill|Trial of Skill]], and could be the final step in his quest for Knighthood. Packing up his pistols and his newly crafted hilt, Fayne promised his fellow Palatinaens victory before departing.

Beginning with 18 combatants, the Journeyman Tournament proved to be every bit of the trial the Combat Master had promised. Kael passed through the first round with relative ease, only meeting significant resistance as the second round pitted him against two fighters at the same time. The Arkanian escaped round two with more cuts and bruises than he could count, entering into the final round proud but hurting. The Trial of Skill soon gave way to a [[starwars:Jedi_trials#Trial_of_Spirit|Trial of Spirit]] as Kael faced his last two opponents, one of which was already a [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. Nevertheless, Fayne's unbreakable resolve and shear cunning allowed him to win the day, bestowing glory upon his Clan and earning him the rank of Knight.

==== '''One Last Trial (DJK)''' ====
{{Quote|Alright, I've heard enough...|[[Angelo Dante]] seconds before attacking Kael}}

Shortly after Kael was appointed to the rank of Knight, his formal Master and Quaestor began to show signs of dementia that comes with the uncontrolled corruption of the dark side. After many weeks of quarreling irrationally with various leaders both within Scholae and the Dark Council, Robin fled for another Clan, taking many of her Apprentices with her. Her departure did not provide any relief from the corruption, and it was not long before she was banished from the Brotherhood altogether. Understandably, doubts arose around Kael as to whether he was under the influence of the same corruption and would turn on the Empire himself. Worse, many outright questioned whether he was worthy of the title Knight at all.

In order to save face before the Dark Council, a trial was convened by the leadership of Scholae Palatinae to decide the matter of the Arkanian's Knighthood. Arguments were made for both sides by the appointed lawyers, though the need to appease the anger of the Brotherhood made demotion all but inevitable. Angered by the situation, Angelo Dante disrupted the proceedings by attacking Kael, forcing Fayne to defend himself with a lightsaber before the audience. After an intense though brief battle, the blind Knight was bested and disarmed of his blade. Nevertheless, the exchange clearly displayed to those familiar with Robin that Kael's heritage in the Force was traced not to her, but rather to Dante and Archangel, and thus his Knighthood was sustained.

==== '''Aedileship (DJK)''' ====
{{Quote|Always remember your honorable opponents and what you learned from the battle...|[[Angelo Dante]]}}

After a changing of the guard within Dorimad Sol, Kael's master was replaced at the position of Quaestor by [[Angelo Dante]]. An Imperial's Imperial, Dante was highly respected by the Arkanian Knight already, and Kael continued to seek out the new Quaestor both for general mentorship as well as advanced lightsaber training. The fellow Obelisk more than obliged, choosing to appoint Kael to the position [[Aedile]] of Dorimad Sol.

Kael immediately began to see fruits from the mentorship, learning much about leadership and command from the former stormtrooper. Dante, a master of [[Soresu]], also imparted his intimate knowledge of Form III to his minion, training him in hours of intense lightsaber combat.

As the two Obelisks began to put their house in order, the Spring Games: Feast of Victory were announced. The Games, which pitted Dorimad Sol against its sister [[House]] [[Acclivis Draco]], were to be an inner-clan celebration of Scholae's recent successes against the terrorist group "The Cause". The seasonal games themselves featured contests of skill and bravery to determine who would be the first House of the Royal Clan as well as the individual Champions of the Clan. The new Aedile saw the games as a way to establish himself and to lead by example. Dorimad Sol dominated the games, with Kael being the lead point man of the Feast. Of the nine games, Kael won first place in five of them, earning four [[Crescents]] with Amethsyt Stars, two with Emerald Stars, one with Sapphire Stars, and his first [[Steel Cross]].

However, shortly after the Spring Games, [[Grand Master]] [[Muz]] and the Dark Council announced that all Clans would be reconstituted into Houses due to dwindling numbers within the Brotherhood. Thus, all current Quaestors and Aediles were relieved of their commands with Consuls and Proconsuls taking their place. Nevertheless, Kael found a home within the [[Nightstalkers]] battle team, a legendary unit resurrected by his former Quaestor, Angelo Dante.

===='''RoS: Disorder (DJK)'''====
{{Quote|What blade divides like that of a brother?|Kael Fayne}}

While all of the Brotherhood’s Clans were still wondering as to why they were no longer Clans at all, further discord was sown as the current [[Fist of the Brotherhood|Fist]], himself a [[Sith]], put forward plans to take back the Temple Boyna on [[Antei]], a place sacred to the [[Obelisk]]. The Krath, likewise, proved untrustworthy by hording for themselves secret holocrons that could upset the balance between the three Orders. Vowing to defend the site against Sith intrusion, Obelisks [[Korras]] and [[Kir Katarn]] rallied their brethren to the Temple as the other two Orders came to make war.

The lack of cohesiveness and balance often found in multi-Order Clans and Houses caused great difficulty in the onset of the war, requiring each warrior to “cross-train” in order to make up for their Order’s shortcomings. As a surprise to many including himself, Kael’s blindness did not hinder him from out-flying many of the Sith invaders who soon found themselves free falling to the planet's surface.

Space superiority, however, was eventually lost as the Obelisk retreated to their position of strength on the ground, where Fayne’s developing swordsmanship was on full display as well. With the battle brought down to their level, the Obelisk were able to push back both the Sith as well as the Krath, winning victory after victory. Before the War could reach its natural conclusion, however, it was revealed that the Jedi traitor [[Michael Halcyon]] had been the cause of dissension amongst the Brotherhood, manipulating the three orders against each other from afar.

Despite the fact that the entire war had been a grand distraction, Fayne received many accolades for his impressive feats, including his first [[Grand Cross of the Dark Side]].

[[File:theLegate.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Legate]]
===='''The Rise of the Legate (DJK-OT)'''====
{{Quote|You really hate these guys, don’t you?...Well, we have little to fear from the Cause now. The Legate has delievered our message.|[[Xen%27Mordin_Vismorsus|Xen'Mordin]]}}

Even as Scholae Palatinae was in the midst of transitioning from fighting each other to working together, the anti-Imperial terrorist organization known as “The Cause” seized the moment to launch a coup against the Empire. Dedicated to the law and order of the Empire, Kael held little respect for the group’s beliefs and actions. Anarchy, Kael thought, was the easy route chosen only by the immature, while it took adults with courage to take the harder path of leadership and order.

No longer being able to stand the sight of the terrorist attacks on the local holonet feeds, Kael came to the conclusion that it was time for the Cause to feel the fear they had inflicted on others. After shaving his head and donning a set of prototype stormtrooper armor in one of Scholae's armories, Kael finally found the mantle of fear he was looking for: the Legate. Meant to be a icon of Imperial ideals that would inspire the citizenry against the terrorists, the Legate's intimidating profile soon replaced images of chaotic fires on local holonet feeds as the new Hero began to scatter the Cause. Under his new guise, Kael was able to capture or kill several of the terrorist leaders and bring them to justice, including the Cause’s head intelligence officier, military trainer, and most importantly their leader, Desol Nera. Instead of having the Cause leaders executed, Kael managed to talk Scholae leadership into sending them to [[Zepar_II#Kavinn_Maximum_Security_Prison|Kavinn Maximum Security Prison]] so he could ensure that their punishments fit their crimes.

The new Imperial Icon's efforts earned him a number of awards, including an [[Anteian Cross]]. Most importantly, Kael finally managed to escape the ranks of the Journeymen as he was elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]].

[[File:kaelShaved.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Geared up for War]]
===='''Great Jedi War IX(OT)'''====

Shortly after the events of the Neutralization of the Cause, Kael was awarded with some much deserved time off. Having rarely taken many vacations in his life, Fayne decided to take this one, traveling to a few vacation spots in the Outer Rim. Upon returning to the Empire still in a drunken state, Kael was greeted by a military gearing up for large scale warfare. It was then the revelation was made that Kael's mentor and friend, Angelo Dante, had been killed while on a mission with the Fist. The emotional drunk wept in response before angrily lashing out against strangers in the middle of the [[Judecca#Imperial_Palace|Imperial Palace]].

Although deemed psychological unfit for battle, Kael forged his medical release form and joined the Empire for its assualt on [[New Tython]]. Refusing to take a command himself, Kael fought alone on the [[Odan-Urr|Jedi]] held planet, sneaking past enemy lines and causing havoc where he could. However, when the [[Arcona-Week2|Mandalorian]] cavalry arrived, the Templar decided to team up with felllow Obelisk [[Koga Kage]] to infiltrate to new arrival's ranks. The pair managed to cause plenty of "friendly fire" incidents before stealing a [[starwars:Canderous_tank|Canderous tank]] and plowing through one of the Mandos last lines of reinforcements.

Outside of the numerous novae he received, Kael was also awarded with his second [[Steel Cross]] for his service.

[[File:spiritDragon.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The Dragon of Judecca]]
===='''The Dragon of Judecca (OT)'''====

The first winter on Judecca after the Great Jedi War saw yet another round of Imperial Games. Despite Kael's impressive performance, his other self, the Legate, managed to upstage him once more. During the mid-games intermission, which featured a dance number by the Legionettes, a small number of Cause terrorists holdovers stormed the field and held the girls hostage. Within moments, the white armored Hero arrived as though on cue and rescued the girls, celebrating with them in a dance number of his own.

Although a rather happy occasion, Kael began to feel different while wearing the Legate armor. The sensation of utter invincibility was lost, and the Arkanian knew something was wrong. In researching the origins of the armor, a vague reference to the forbidden plateau of [[Judecca#Dragon.E2.80.99s_Point|Dragon's Point]] was discovered in the original crafter's notes. Kael's quest for answers drove him to venture out, forgoing the proper channels to gain admittance to the landmark which he knew he would not receive.

Upon standing in front of a rather impressive Dragon statue, Kael fainted, awakening by his body in a spectral dimension that occupied the same space as Dragon's Point. The Arkanian was not alone, however, as he was greeted by an ancient Dragon who had been sent to this seemingly timeless realm by the ancient natives of Judecca who could find no other way to defeat the mighty beast. The Dragon attacked Kael, and although the former always bested the latter, Kael's death provided no escape for either of the two.

From Kael's perspective, countless years had passed fighting in vain. Eventually, however, the Dragon became impressed with Kael's quiet relentlessness, and began to respect the humanoid enough to speak with him. In this conversation, the Dragon revealed that the ancients of Judecca could make armor like the Legate's, but that it was only a derivative form of magic stolen from the dragons. True invincibility came from a strength of spirit, which according to the Dragon Kael already had.

Now battling under the beast's tutelage, Kael was finally able to best the Dragon, causing both to be freed from their imprisonment. However, as the Dragon's body had long since faded away, his spirit found no home. Nevertheless, his spirit was soon welcomed into Kael's frame as the two spirits became fused into one new person.

===='''Present Day (OT)'''====

Currently, Kael Fayne is attached to the [[Nightstalkers]] under the command of [[Kell Dante]], the son of Angelo Dante. Although his many other jobs often pull him away from Judecca, Kael still spends every available night under the helmet of the Legate, stalking those who would dare challenge the rule of the Empire.</onlyinclude>

{{Quote|Master Fayne, I can continue reading, but really, the others have already gone to bed!|One of the Shadow Academy's [[starwars:C-3PO|C-3PO]] units}}

Upon passing the initial tests regarding Force potential given to all recruits, Kael was soon granted the rank of [[Initiate]] and transferred aboard the '''''[[Arcanum]]''''', the mobile home and flagship of the [[Shadow Academy]]. Fayne instantly felt at home as familiar sounds, namely the rhythmic marching of combat boots, flooded his senses with memories of the Clone Wars. Although many regarded him at a disadvantage because of his blindness, Kael's intrinsic obsession with studying and training led him to stand out amongst his peers. Each lesson in the Force opened more the blind Initiate’s "new eyes", creating in him a further thirst for more. Such a devotion to his own personal training naturally led the new Initiate to embrace the [[Obelisk|Obelisk Order]].

Kael's eagerness soon impressed many, leading him to be promoted to the rank of [[Apprentice]] and granting him the ability to join a [[Clan]]. It was not long before Emperor [[Thran Occasus]], [[Consul]] and leader of then Royal Clan of [[Scholae Palatinae]], visited the Academy in search of new Prospects for his Empire. Having studied the Arkanian's history before approaching him, Thran presented a convincing case that Kael would fit in perfectly within the Empire. As icing on the cake, Thran also told Kael there was candy inside his personal shuttle for all new recruits. Not unsurprisingly, Kael was sold.

Arriving on then [[House]] [[Dorimad Sol]]'s base planet of [[Caina]], the new Jedi Prospect felt as though he had returned home as the icy breeze reminded him of Arkania. Fayne had spent the trip studying the Royal Clan, being confirmed in his decision as he learned more how Scholae Palatinae retained much of Imperial traditions.

Having become accustomed to being blind and relying on his other senses, Kael once more began to pick up his blasters and resumed combat training, finding even greater efficiency than when he could see the more he augmented the Force to his natural instincts. Constant training as well as studying via remote in the Shadow Academy earned Kael several quick promotions, attracting the attention of [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], the Duchess of Scholae Palatinae. Having heard of the Duchess' reputation within the Clan, Kael was pleased to accept her proposal of [[Scholae Palatinae Master Student Program|Apprenticeship]].

{{Quote|During Wartime, men and women of valour have historically turned into heroes. |[[Muz Ashen]]}}

As Kael attained to the rank of [[Protector]], the news of a [[Rite of Supremacy]] being declared on Salas V immediately interrupted his training. Not quite sure of the significance of the event, the Arkanian suddenly found himself on a foreign war zone fighting with the [[2nd Caina Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|33rd Legion]], better known as the Crimson Knights. The initial battles were fierce and merciless, as incompetence led to countless, unnecessary deaths. Having endeared himself to many who had fallen, Kael refused to fight under the unit's Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Thilvera. Upon being confronted with charges of treason, Fayne challenged the pompous Commander to a duel, which led to the Protector slaying Thilvera and taking her place. Fearful of possible reprisals, Kael ordered his troops not to report to Clan or House leadership on the matter, saying he would do so when the time was right. The Arkanian's respect among the common soldier led each to keep this charge.

Even though his only tactical training had been through studying history, Kael's common sense and Clone War experience allowed him to be a reliable Commander. The Crimson Knights won several battles under his command, including handing two crushing defeats to the forces of [[Plagueis|Clan Plagueis]]. Nearing the end of the conflict, the 33rd Legion was specifically called in for cavalry support by Clan leadership on the behalf of two other legions who were engaged against Clan Plagueis. Although the Crimson Knights managed to cover many of the retreating forces, Kael was struck in the chest by a random blaster bolt, taking him out of the battle for the time being. After immediate medical treatment, Commander Fayne returned to the battle field. This act, considered a [[starwars:Jedi_trials#Trial_of_the_Flesh|Trial of the Flesh]], further cemented the young man's trust among the Legions, and earned the Protector a field promotion to [[Guardian]].

As the combat forces of Clan Scholae Palatinae left Salas V for the [[Cocytus System]], the revelation of Kael's usurpation and subsequent heroics was made to Clan leadership. Kael, expecting to be disciplined or killed outright, was awarded an [[Anteian Cross]] by the Royal Clan along with several other accolades from the [[Dark Council]], including the title of [[Spoils of War|Champion of the Rite]]. Although glad to make it out alive, the newly promoted Guardian was left hollow by how many had died just so his Clan could finish next to last. His master, as well, became withdrawn after the conflict and Kael was left to study many weeks by himself.

When Ras finally reestablished contact with Kael, she came to him with an offer that peaked his interest. Much of the blame for the disaster on Salas V was quietly being laid at the feet of Scholae Palatinae's playboy Consul and Emperor, Thran Occasus. Ras' clever plan was for her apprentice to sneak past the [[Judecca#Imperial Palace|Imperial Palace's]] security, which was lax after the Rite, and place a pressure-triggered bomb under the Consuls' favorite pleasure bed. Ras, knowing well the kind of women Thran liked to entertain, would then hire two prostitutes to lure the Consul back to the Palace for a night that would be of want for sleep. The plan seemed to have succeeded while Kael watched from afar as an explosion sent the Palace's white walls in chunks toward the heavens. However, as Kael retreated to his speeder, Occasus was waiting for him, revealing that he had used a double that night. After beating the Guardian mercilessly for several moments, Thran finally relented, stating that Jedi with such potential as Kael's would be necessary to rebuild the Royal Clan's reputation.

Ironically, the event would later be used to recommend Kael's promotion to the rank of [[Jedi Hunter]]. Even more ironic, Thran and Kael, who are rather polar opposites of one another, are now friends.

Worried that Ras' lack of attention may waste one of her Jedi's potential, [[Quaestor]] [[Robin Hawk]] soon sought out Kael as an apprentice of her own. Even though he had essentially made it to Jedi Hunter by himself, Kael could not resist the temptation to use his Quaestor's influence to better his chances of passing his final trials. Ironically, this out of character lack of self dependence would eventually cost Kael the very thing he wanted to ensure.

Nevertheless, Kael started quickly on his last trials, readily accepting a scounting mission from Brent Ligur Victae to further catalog information concerning the Cocytus System, the Home of the Empire. The pair began first by scouting a few planets together, allowing Kael to learn much from the much more experienced Jedi before they seperated. Although a few of the local moons Kael visited by himself were friendly, most proved dangerous, testing the Jedi Hunter's mettle with numberous [[starwars:Jedi_trials#Trial_of_Courage|Trials of Courage]].

Impressed with Kael's continual growth, the venerable [[Angelo Dante]] became interested in the Jedi Hunter, offering to spar with him to develop his saber abilities. Kael was honored by such an offer, but was unwilling to admit the truth that he had yet to construct his own saber as he had grown so attached to his pistols.

Kael's obsessive-compulsive attention to detail, however, led him to produce nearly a dozen hilts, each with a small inferiority that caused the Arkanian to start over. The end result was a weapon of utmost craftsmanship, distinguished not by its outer apperance but by its supremely efficient circuitry and its ability to take abuse and still function, much like its owner.

Shortly after Kael was appointed to the rank of Knight, his formal Master and Quaestor began to show signs of dementia that comes with the uncontrolled corruption of the dark side.

Kael immediately began to see fruits from the mentorship, learning much about leadership and command from the former stormtrooper. Dante, a master of [[Soresu]], also imparted his intimate knowledge of Form III to his minion, training him in hours of intense lightsaber combat.

As the two Obelisks began to put their house in order, the Spring Games: Feast of Victory were announced. The Games, which pitted Dorimad Sol against its sister [[House]] [[Acclivis Draco]], were to be an inner-clan celebration of Scholae's recent successes against the terrorist group "The Cause". The seasonal games themselves featured contests of skill and bravery to determine who would be the first House of the Royal Clan as well as the individual Champions of the Clan. The new Aedile saw the games as a way to establish himself and to lead by example. Dorimad Sol dominated the games, with Kael being the lead point man of the Feast. Of the nine games, Kael won first place in five of them, earning four [[Crescents]] with Amethsyt Stars, two with Emerald Stars, one with Sapphire Stars, and his first [[Steel Cross]].

However, shortly after the Spring Games, [[Grand Master]] [[Muz]] and the Dark Council announced that all Clans would be reconstituted into Houses due to dwindling numbers within the Brotherhood. Thus, all current Quaestors and Aediles were relieved of their commands with Consuls and Proconsuls taking their place. Nevertheless, Kael found a home within the [[Nightstalkers]] battle team, a legendary unit resurrected by his former Quaestor, Angelo Dante.

===='''RoS: Disorder (DJK)'''====
{{Quote|What blade divides like that of a brother?|Kael Fayne}}

While all of the Brotherhood’s Clans were still wondering as to why they were no longer Clans at all, further discord was sown as the current [[Fist of the Brotherhood|Fist]], himself a [[Sith]], put forward plans to take back the Temple Boyna on [[Antei]], a place sacred to the [[Obelisk]]. The Krath, likewise, proved untrustworthy by hording for themselves secret holocrons that could upset the balance between the three Orders. Vowing to defend the site against Sith intrusion, Obelisks [[Korras]] and [[Kir Katarn]] rallied their brethren to the Temple as the other two Orders came to make war.

The lack of cohesiveness and balance often found in multi-Order Clans and Houses caused great difficulty in the onset of the war, requiring each warrior to “cross-train” in order to make up for their Order’s shortcomings. As a surprise to many including himself, Kael’s blindness did not hinder him from out-flying many of the Sith invaders who soon found themselves free falling to the planet's surface.

Space superiority, however, was eventually lost as the Obelisk retreated to their position of strength on the ground, where Fayne’s developing swordsmanship was on full display as well. With the battle brought down to their level, the Obelisk were able to push back both the Sith as well as the Krath, winning victory after victory. Before the War could reach its natural conclusion, however, it was revealed that the Jedi traitor [[Michael Halcyon]] had been the cause of dissension amongst the Brotherhood, manipulating the three orders against each other from afar.

Despite the fact that the entire war had been a grand distraction, Fayne received many accolades for his impressive feats, including his first [[Grand Cross of the Dark Side]].

[[File:theLegate.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Legate]]
===='''The Rise of the Legate (DJK-OT)'''====
{{Quote|You really hate these guys, don’t you?...Well, we have little to fear from the Cause now. The Legate has delievered our message.|[[Xen%27Mordin_Vismorsus|Xen'Mordin]]}}

Even as Scholae Palatinae was in the midst of transitioning from fighting each other to working together, the anti-Imperial terrorist organization known as “The Cause” seized the moment to launch a coup against the Empire. Dedicated to the law and order of the Empire, Kael held little respect for the group’s beliefs and actions. Anarchy, Kael thought, was the easy route chosen only by the immature, while it took adults with courage to take the harder path of leadership and order.

No longer being able to stand the sight of the terrorist attacks on the local holonet feeds, Kael came to the conclusion that it was time for the Cause to feel the fear they had inflicted on others. After shaving his head and donning a set of prototype stormtrooper armor in one of Scholae's armories, Kael finally found the mantle of fear he was looking for: the Legate. Meant to be a icon of Imperial ideals that would inspire the citizenry against the terrorists, the Legate's intimidating profile soon replaced images of chaotic fires on local holonet feeds as the new Hero began to scatter the Cause. Under his new guise, Kael was able to capture or kill several of the terrorist leaders and bring them to justice, including the Cause’s head intelligence officier, military trainer, and most importantly their leader, Desol Nera. Instead of having the Cause leaders executed, Kael managed to talk Scholae leadership into sending them to [[Zepar_II#Kavinn_Maximum_Security_Prison|Kavinn Maximum Security Prison]] so he could ensure that their punishments fit their crimes.

The new Imperial Icon's efforts earned him a number of awards, including an [[Anteian Cross]]. Most importantly, Kael finally managed to escape the ranks of the Journeymen as he was elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]].

===='''Great Jedi War IX to Present Day (OT)'''====

Shortly after the events of the Neutralization of the Cause, Kael was awarded with some much deserved time off. Having rarely taken many vacations in his life, Fayne decided to take this one, traveling to a few vacation spots in the Outer Rim. Upon returning to the Empire still in a drunken state, Kael was greeted by a military gearing up for large scale warfare. It was then the revelation was made that Kael's mentor and friend, Angelo Dante, had been killed while on a mission with the Fist. The emotional drunk wept in response before angrily lashing out against strangers in the middle of the [[Judecca#Imperial_Palace|Imperial Palace]].

Although deemed psychological unfit for battle, Kael forged his medical release form and joined the Empire for its assualt on [[New Tython]]. Refusing to take a command himself, Kael fought alone on the [[Odan-Urr|Jedi]] held planet, sneaking past enemy lines and causing havoc where he could. However, when the [[Arcona-Week2|Mandalorian]] cavalry arrived, the Templar decided to team up with felllow Obelisk [[Koga Kage]] to infiltrate to new arrival's ranks. The pair managed to cause plenty of "friendly fire" incidents before stealing a [[starwars:Canderous_tank|Canderous tank]] and plowing through one of the Mandos last lines of reinforcements.

Outside of the numerous novae he received, Kael was also awarded with his second [[Steel Cross]] for his service.

Currently, Kael Fayne is attached to the [[Nightstalkers]] under the command of [[Kell Dante]], the son of Angelo Dante. Although his many other jobs often pull him away from Judecca, Kael still spends every available night under the helmet of the Legate, stalking those who would dare challenge the rule of the Empire.</onlyinclude>

KaelFayne: Character Mod and History Update

{{Transclusion|article=[[Kael Fayne]]|pages=[[Kael Fayne/PartOne]] - [[Kael Fayne/PartTwo]]}}
<onlyinclude>== History ==
=== '''The Early Years (48 BBY - 30 BBY)''' ===
==== '''Before There Was Kael''' ====
{{Quote|If you're the wine, I'll be the glass.|Soren Fayne, to his would be bride}}

Kael's parents, Soren and Alena Fayne, shared a love whose level of passion was only overshadowed by its simple implausibility. Alena, a [[starwars: Prophets_of_the_Dark_Side|Prophetess of the Darkside]] seeking to hide on [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] from the Jedi Order after a botched espionage mission, met her future husband while working for his family's diamond mining company, Fayne Diamonds. Soren, the lone Fayne not in the diamond business, had made it on his own as a Doctor and a political activist after earning multiple doctorates in medicine, philosophy, and political science. As is so often the case, opposites began to attract as Alena let go of her darker ways to embrace the philosophy of peace that permeated Soren's life.

==== '''A Child is Born; A Mother is Taken''' ====
{{Quote|He has your eyes.|Alena Fayne, commenting on Kael's irisless eyes}}

After five years of marriage, Soren and Alena were happy to greet their one and only son into the universe in 43 BBY. Kael was a loveable and adventerous child, cleverly escaping his parent's watch from time to time to explore on his own. Tragedy struck, however, as Alena was murdered by a rogue Jedi who had discovered her past when Kael was only three. The attack happened as mother and child were on their way to preschool, leaving both fatally wounded. Alena used her last moments to selflessly heal her son through the Force before passing on herself.

[[File:Arkania_surface.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Surface of Arkania]]
Soren, after many hours of soul searching, forgave the Jedi for allowing the murder to happen, but cursed their representatives when they offered to rear Kael in the Force. Not willing to part with the child, Soren put his all into raising Kael, fearful that his esoteric and abstract mindset may prevent him from relating to the child. Nevertheless, the stern yet peaceful philosopher was surprised as Kael understood his attempts to break down complex ideas into simple parables. In like respect, Kael was also able to teach Soren what it was like to play.

Soren also found another means of connecting with his son: candy. The new father would travel far and wide, going out of his way to find exotic candies to bring back home whether he was traveling on Arkania or across the galaxy. Kael harbors a particular fondness for discovering new candies to this day.

=== '''From a Boy Into a Man (30 BBY - 22 BBY)''' ===
==== '''Those Awkward, Formidable Years''' ====
{{Quote|Follow virtues, my son, not men.|Soren Fayne, instructing his son}}

Entering into his teen years, Kael was turning out to be every bit his Father's logical intellectual and his Mother's adventerous rogue. The young man spent his carefree years working on and riding swoop bikes, playing electric mandolin and percussion in a couple bands, and even studying history and sharpening his mind playing [[starwars:Holochess|Holochess]] . As well, to further develop his son's character and appreciation for hard work, Soren sent Kael to work in their family's diamond mines. Today, Kael credits these many hours of excavation and sifting for his physical toughness and endurance, as well as working on various equipment for his knack for fixing things.

Despite the youth's fun and mischevous nature, the death of his mother combined with other meaningless acts of violence perpetrated throughout the galaxy created in Kael a subconscious belief that the universe was nothing but chaos. Thus, if there was to be meaning and order, it would have to be established, not by accident, but by force. Though operating on a subconscious level, this belief drove Kael in many areas of his life, even to the point of becoming obsessive-compulsive over things under his control. However, the more he succeeded, the more the belief proved a virtue rather than a vice.

It was also during this period that Kael became attracted to his childhood friend, a thin hot-headed [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]] named Sybella. While Sybella helped Kael have a more positive, less chaotic view of the universe, Kael defended Sybella against bullies who hurled immature, Zeltron related sexual insults. The two dated throughout their teens and beyond, rarely being seen apart from the other.

==== '''Waking to a Cruel Universe''' ====
{{Quote|You don't want to fight me. You're already ugly enough.|Kael Fayne, trying to pick a fight}}

After several years of working in the diamond mines, Kael's uncles offered the sixteen year old a job as a cargo pilot, stating that Kael had more good sense than all their transport jocks combined. Over his father's objections, Kael lept at the opportunity. Upon being hijacked by pirates on a solo mission to the outer rim, the young boy was forced to defend himself, using surprise and stealth to disable two of the pirates and killing the leader with his own blaster. This life or death situation further awakened Kael to the ugliness of the universe, driving him to train obsessively with various weapons to learn how to defend himself. In like respect, Kael also took to sneaking out to local catinas, picking fights with obstreperous scumbags in order to learn how to give and take a punch.

==== '''To Protect and to Serve''' ====
{{Quote|Dad, I have to go my own way.|Kael Fayne}}

As Kael left school with bachlor degrees in both History and Law, his father began to encourage him to become, of all things, a school teacher. Despite his deep voice and somewhat intimidating size, Kael had always been good with kids, never failing to find ways to make them laugh and learn at the same time much like his father had done with him. Sybella, on the other hand, wanted Kael to continue with Fayne Diamonds mainly for financial reasons.

Although he agreed with much of his father's philosophy and lifeview, Kael desired a more active approach to confronting wrong in the universe, and thus he enrolled in the local Civil Security Academy. Racing through the Academy's many courses, Kael soon became a local beat cop, where he served with honor for the next three years. The new cop soon became highly coveted for undercover missions and interrogations in particular.

Sybella, giving into the taunts of her childhood bullies, had by this time become a stripper at the local ski resort, arguing that the money she earned was more than she'd make anywhere else. Kael continued to live with her, hoping he could one day convince her to give up such a life. However, when Kael asked her to quit her job and marry him, she declined, saying she couldn't give up her nature and who she was meant to be. Kael responded that he no longer wanted to see her or watch her waste her life, and the two parted ways shortly thereafter.

[[File:dirtyKael.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kael as Nissa Gábor]]
=== '''From a Man Into a Soldier (22 BBY - 19 BBY)''' ===
==== '''In the Presence of Greatness''' ====
{{Quote|Youngling, you are barely half the man you could be.|Arca Jeth}}

Kael's third year of service in Law Enforcement proved to be his most successful as he devoted himself to work as a distraction from his seperation from Sybella. As a further means of escape, Kael went undercover for most of the year as a gangster named Nissa Gábor. Kael became addicted to several illicit drugs in the process of keeping his cover, though he enjoyed the release they provided. While laying next to several hired escorts in drug induced euphoria, Kael had a vision of legendary Arkanian Jedi [[starwars:Arca Jeth|Arca Jeth]]. The mighty Jedi Master told Kael it was time to turn back from his current downward spiral least he fall too far.

==== '''A Galaxy at War''' ====
{{Quote|If this war is worth fighting, then it is worth being fought by honorable men...not manufactured armies.|Kael Fayne}}

A week after the supposed vision, the [[starwars:the Battle of Geonosis|Battle of Geonosis]] finally plunged the galaxy into what became known as the [[starwars:the Clone Wars|Clone Wars]]. Like many in the Republic, Kael left all he had behind to join the war effort, not willing that his place on the battlefield be taken by a clone. Fearing he would be enlisted as a cook or something worse if he went to official Republic recruitment centers, Kael drifted from one militia group to the next for the first few months of the war. In that time, he learned a variety of skills, serving as a scout, engineer, and slicer among other roles. It was during this time that Kael came in contact with a group of [[starwars:Matukai|Matukai]] who themselves chose not to fight with the Jedi Order. Sharing a common training regimen, Fayne learned much from these Force users, causing him to begin to open up to the mystical energy field for the first time as well.

==== '''Off the Bench; Into the Game''' ====
{{Quote|Hey! Those are our blasters!|A wounded Clone Trooper lamenting Kael's borrowing of his blasters}}

Tiring of sitting on the relative sidelines, Kael's reputation among Militia leaders finally got him into the game during the Republic's planned [[starwars:Battle of Brentaal IV (Clone Wars)|liberation]] of [[starwars:Brentaal IV|Brentaal IV]]. With Republic approval, Kael went undercover inside the planet's main defense complex, where he sliced into the complex's security systems and helped clear the way for Republic troops.

During the post-victory mop up operation, Kael noticed some of the Confederate droids retreating whilst carrying about a rather large man, one the Arkanian had seen with an attractive white haired woman before his deployment to the planet. Fayne managed to track down the lady, who called herself [[Rayne|Rielle]], and after borrowing a pair of [[starwars:DC-15s side arm blaster|DC-15 Sidearms]] from some wounded troopers he helped locate the man and rescue him. The large man, a [[Shaevalian]] on closer inspection, introduced himself as [[Brent_"Archangel"_Ligur_Victae|Brodo]] and both he and Rielle thanked Kael for his assistance.

[[File:kaelHero.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kael during the Clone Wars]]
==== '''From Ship to Ship''' ====
{{Quote|That one isn't going to last long.|A Militia leader, watching Kael dodge blaster fire rather than seek cover}}

Kael's efforts on Brentaal IV earned him a place on the front lines of the Militia as a Marine, storming enemy ships in a hail of blasterfire to shut down self destruct systems and capture Confederate leaders. Such missions took nerves of durasteel as many of the self destructs were only seconds away from activation before being sliced and shut down. The twenty two year old enjoyed the change of pace, however, believing his skills as a gunslinger were finally being put to proper use, earning him the rank of [[starwars:Lieutenant|Lieutenant]] with a [[starwars:Platoon|platoon]] of 36 Marines under his direct command.

==== '''A Late Goodbye''' ====
{{Quote|The Jedi, long content in using disposable clones to do their dirty work, are so blinded by their spotlight that they have no right to question my actions.|Kael defending his treatment of prisoners.}}

However, as the Clone Wars drew near to their sudden end, the ever growing casualties and loss of life all around him drove Kael to take harsher measures in his interrogations of captured Confederates. Whatever means were necessary were employeed, from harsh beatings to pharmaceutical stimulants to withholding medical treatment after being shot at point blank range. Fayne, though not trained in the Force, also began to inadvertantly use such powers as [[Fear]] to get the answers he wanted. Some of his men questioned Kael's tactics in this regard, but none could argue with the results.

Although his intimidating reputation set many of the Confederates on edge, it earned the Republic a black eye in the press, which led to the Jedi Order requesting Kael's immediate dishonorable discharge. Many of Kael's men protested, appreciative that he would do whatever it took to protect them. Nevertheless, Kael packed his things and prepared to returned to Arkania until a private meeting with a representative of the [[starwars:Commission_for_the_Protection_of_the_Republic|COMPOR]] changed his mind. The agent said that the Commission still required men with his talents as an interrogator. Kael, disturbed that he was being asked to do the same job he'd just been discharged over, said he would only serve until the War was over, which he did.

=== '''From a Soldier Into a Hero (19 BBY - 16 BBY)''' ===
==== '''Starting Over From the Beginning''' ====
{{Quote|How many of you know that the Clone Wars were started all because a Jedi chose to trespass in one of the Confederate's droid factories?|Kael teaching recent history to his students}}

With the Clone Wars over and the [[starwars:New Order|New Order]] in the process of being established, many of Kael's contacts within the military offered him positions in various [[starwars:stormtrooper|stormtrooper]] squadrons. Fayne declined, desiring a quieter life on the one hand and believing he could do more good on the local level on the other. Even after his offered payment was doubled, the Arkanian began the long trip home.

Rather than return to his position within Civil Security, however, the former Marine followed his father's advice and became a school teacher, teaching history and other subjects to the youth of [[starwars:Adascopolis|Adascopolis]], Arkania's crime-ridden capital city. Although not nearly as prestigious as his career in the military, Kael found sincere joy in helping the children learn and develop into young adults. Kael was also able to use his free time to finally earn his doctrates in History and Law, both of his theses being in defense of the New Order and its constitution.

==== '''Someone to Look Up to''' ====
{{Quote|Alright, children, you can go back to telling stories about "the Gavel" later. |Kael gathering his student's attention}}

While traveling home one day from work, Kael noticed a familiar face on the corner of one of Adascopolis' less reputible neighborhoods: Sybella. The Zeltron's once youthful appearance was now aged beyond her years and sickly as she admitted she had been addicted to various narcotics for the last three or so years. Because she had no where else to stay, Kael offered to take her in and help rehabilitate her.

When it was revealed to Kael that some of his own students were being used to traffic some of their narcotics and dirty money, the former Marine decided to take matters into his own hands. Assuming his old undercover identity as Nissa Gábor, Kael was able to learn the inside and outs of the main organized crime syndicate. Then, wearing an expressionless grey helmet, the history teacher began to stalk the various street gangs, striking [[fear]] into their hearts using the same darker Force powers he had developed during the Clone Wars.

It was not long before news reports were released telling of how local gangs were running scared of some faceless vigilante capable of fighting off a dozen men with nothing but his fists. Although a little exaggerated, such reports kept many gangsters from operating out in the open, and the movement of narcotics was halted. Kael took no glory in the reports, but his heart was warmed when his students would excitedly tell stories about the "Greyman", or "The Snare", or Kael's favorite:"The Gavel".

[[File:zeltronFemale.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Sybella before becoming addicted to various narcotics]]
=== '''From a Hero Into a Dark Jedi (16 BBY - 32 ABY)''' ===
==== '''You Can't Blame a Guy For Trying''' ====
{{Quote|I may be guilty of many things, but not this.|Kael defending himself while on trial}}

For the next two years Kael lived without a full night's sleep, continuing to teach history during the day and either playing the role of Nissa Gábor or masked vigilante at night. In order to keep up with the physical abuse, Kael had to take large amounts of painkillers, but he felt the good he was doing was worth it. Sybella's addictions, however, were not as easily cured as Kael had to retrieve her from the same darker districts of town on a number of occasions.

On one particular night, however, Sybella made the mistake of revealing Kael's identity as the vigilante hero to a low level gangster during a drug-induced stupor. However, instead of killing their enemy outright, the gangsters called Nissa Gábor to a meeting in a run down hotel. Kael entered the room to the sound of a lone blaster shot only to find Sybella's dead body in the bedroom. Several Civil Security officiers, all on the take, soon stormed the hotel room and arrested "Nissa Gábor".

With the help of several high ranking and corrupt political officials, the cartel was able to keep Kael far from the public eye during the rather private trial. To what public cared, it was just a case of a degenerate gangster snuffing out a prostitute rather than paying her outright. Kael's court appointed lawyer accepted a plea bargain without his client's knowledge, sentencing the school teacher turned vigilante to life without parole. "Kael Fayne" was reported missing by his friends and family a day later.

==== '''A Hall of Mirrors Built by Liars''' ====
{{Quote|In this hall of mirrors, built by liars, I am a pale reflection of myself.|A lyric Kael often repeated to himself while in prison}}

Entering the city of [[starwars:Adascopolis|Adascopolis']] maximum security prison, Fayne was greeted by an endless horde of low level gangsters, many he himself had put away. For the next two years, Kael suffered beating after beating, always outnumbered to the point where he couldn't defend himself. Eventually, some of the gangster's bodies were found, one here and one there, each one either strangled or blugeoned to death in private areas of the prison complex. Though no evidence was found, the Warden decided the best course of action was to "donate" Kael's body to science in order to get rid of him. Not another corpse was found thereafter.

Fayne was thus handed over to [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]], a medical supply and technology corporation that dabbled in a variety of interesting areas, including [[starwars:cloning|cloning]]. Because of the dangerous nature of the prisoner, scientists from Arkanian Micro chose to utilize Kael's body to test [[starwars:Carbon freezing|carbon freezing]] techniques and their applications for suspending the sickly in animation until cures could be found.

[[File:kaelCarbonite.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kael's first freezing]]
==== '''Encased in Ice; The Seeing Blind''' ====
{{Quote|It feels like I'm dying...every time...|Kael, reporting on how it feels to be frozen in carbonite}}

Lasting for 45 years from 13 BBY to 32 ABY, Kael was frozen in carbonite while said scientists studied the results, letting the innocent victim out once a year for a week's worth of evaluations. During these short periods Kael learned what little he could about the outside universe, and soon became attracted to a human research assistant named Sala. The feeling proved mutual as Sala began to look forward to evaluating her favorite patient, often bringing him candy after learning about his childhood affection for it.

Even though he was unwilling to talk about it at first, Sala finally managed to get Kael to discuss with her the reason for his imprisonment after the two shared a secret night of passion during Kael's eleventh year of imprisonment. Sala, like most people, had heard of the masked vigilante and had wondered of his sudden disappearance. Afterwards, she offered to help the innocent victim escape, but Kael did not want any harm to come to her and made her promise not to do anything.

Nevertheless, years and years of being thawed out and refrozen caused Kael's vision to finally stop returning to him, making him more desperate to do something before his physical situation grew worse. His blindness, however, helped to awaken in him a new sense that had been buried deep in his subconscious: the Force. What had only aided him slightly during gunfights and interrogations now came to the fore as the blind man found new eyes with which he could "sense" his surroundings. Kael chose to keep this knowledge to himself, hoping to use it to surprise his captors and escape in time.

==== '''A Sith Never Forgets a Friend''' ====
{{Quote|Now we are even.|[[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae]]}}

Fortunately for the now-blind test subject, Sala proved stubborn and broke her promise as she neared retirement at the age of seventy. Having learned about him from listening to Kael's stories, Sala sought out the one called [[Brent_"Archangel"_Ligur_Victae|Brodo]], enlisting him to help Fayne escape. Remembering how strong the Force felt around the Arkanian and believing he owed him as much, Brodo, now known as Archangel, agreed to help. He was surprised, however, at the degree of savagery the patient exhibited on his captors once he was freed, remembering him only as a calm and collected scout. After the two were in the clear, Archangel made known to Kael his place within the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], and how they could use someone with his abilities. Kael thanked the [[Shaevalian]] for his help, requesting a way to contact the Brotherhood once he had made his decision.

Kael spent only a month more on Arkania, checking in on his family and their business under an assumed alias to make sure all was well. Perhaps one of the most devastating of discoveries was also one of the most expected: Kael's father, Soren, had passed away while his son was in prison. The happiness of being free soon gave way to remorse as Kael reflected on the fact that his father never knew what had happened to him. However, subtle questions to his family revealed how highly Soren had spoken of and rememberd his son. The final and greatest comfort was knowing Soren had lived to see his life's work, pushing for Arkanian independence, had become reality in part as Arkania had refused to join the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]].

Fayne also visited a memorial made in honor of the vigilante hero he had once been. Lastly, he managed to find where Sala had retired in secret, only sending her a bouqet of flowers, under his alias, to say thanks. Once he was ready, Fayne broke into the garage that had impounded his [[starwars:Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter| Imperial ARC-170]], called "The Latter Rain," and embarked towards Brotherhood space. </onlyinclude>

{{Quote|Fearlessness in the one breeds fear into the many.|Kael Fayne}}

'''Kael Fayne''' is an [[Obelisk Templar]] hailing from the [[Scholae Palatinae|Royal House of Scholae Palatinae]]. The archetypical [[Obelisk|Obelisk Paladin]], Kael is a mixture of cunning intellect, obsessive-complusive training, and Imperial honor. Fayne currently lives on the Imperial Center of [[Judecca]], where he teaches history to school children by day. By night, however, Kael assumes the role of the '''Legate''', a symbol of Imperial power and might meant to inspire fear in the enemies of [[Scholae Palatinae|the Empire]] and pride in the Imperial citizenry.

Coming of age during the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]], Fayne made a name for himself in [[starwars:Galactic Republic|Republic]] militias as a brutally effective Marine before being dishonorably discharged by the Jedi Order for being too excessive in his interrogations of prisoners. As a history teacher on [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]], Kael took upon himself a similar role as that of Legate in order to shut down gangsters who were corrupting his students. After his secret identity was revealed to his enemies, Kael was set up for murder and punished by involuntarily having his body donated to science.

Fayne was thus imprisoned in carbonite as a test subject for [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]] from 13 BBY to 32 ABY until he was freed by Clone War acquaintance [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae]]. Blinded during the imprisonment, Kael opted to join the Brotherhood to develop his abilities in the Force and to continue championing Imperial ideals.

== Personality and Traits ==
{{Quote|I am an agent of Order.|Kael Fayne}}

Kael is at his heart a warrior-sage, or Paladin, being every bit his father's logical intellectual and his mother's adventerous rogue. Crafty and relentless, Fayne can prove to be a very agrivating foe but a very dependable ally.

Unlike his father, however, Kael is an authoritarian who is devoted to many of the beliefs and ideals of the New Order as it was best represented by men like [[starwars:Mitth'raw'nuruodo|Grand Admiral Thrawn]]. Honor, duty, and order are the foremost virtues which Kael has sought to uphold as he ventures forth across the galaxy.

Ever since childhood, Fayne has had a problem with being obsessive and compulsive, driving him to settle only for perfection. Although such a drive has its own virtues, sometimes Kael is obsessive to a fault. Not unrelated, Kael is also very self-reliant, often choosing to stubbornly do things on his own than depend on others. In many ways this is do to a lack in his ability to trust others. Some believe this is why Kael has chosen to adopt the mantle of the Legate. Kael is, however, unquestionably loyal to those he does trust.

In terms of speech, it has been said on more than one occasion that Kael has only two modes: wise, and wise-ass.

== Powers and Abilities ==
[[File:kaelPB.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Fayne in his element]]
{{Quote|He endures like he is obeying a simple command.|Angelo Dante, referring to Kael's ability to take abuse}}

From his earliest days of target practice as a teen, Kael has foremost been known as a brash gunslinger, often dueling with two blasters instead of one. Entering into the Clone Wars, Kael learned how to use various rifles, but stubbornly kept to his pair of [[starwars:DC-15s side arm blaster|DC-15 Sidearms]]. Aided subconsciously by the Force, the Arkanian managed to survive many battles he shouldn't have, being proud of his ability to thread the needle of blaster fire and keep pushing forward.

Having trained alongside the Grand Army of the Republic, Kael learned [[Jakelian]] from some of the best instructors in the galaxy, remaining devoted to it to this day. Nevertheless, Kael does retreat to undisciplined brawling from time to time in an attempt to intimidate his opponent by showing he can't be hurt easily. Some go as far as to say Kael is more proud of being able to take a beating and survive than to dish out a beating and win. Though laughing at such a charge, Kael has never denied it.

Even though he was initially uncomfortable using a bladed weapon and especially one attached to the [[starwars:Jedi Order|Jedi Order]], the gunslinger soon learned to appreciate the Knightly nature of lightsaber combat. Under the tutelage of the late Angelo Dante, Kael has taken a particular interest in mastering the defensive form of [[Soresu]].

In regards to his Jedi powers, Kael primarily uses his supernatural abilities to augment his natural ones rather than relying solely on the Force. He does, however, have a particular knack for utilizing such powers as [[Fear]], [[Fear#Horror|Horror]] and [[Obelisk_Powers#Drain_Will|Drain Will]] to intimidate his enemies, especially during interrogations.

Other than his combat abilities, Kael is also a decent engineer, capable slicer, and even a fair pilot. He cannot, however, cook or clean.

==View of the Force==
{{Quote|There will be no Order unless we are it.|Kael Fayne}}

In his studies, Kael has noticed what he believes is an underlying contradiction in the way the Jedi view the Force and how it functions in their lives. Although their formal teachings would not impute to the Force personhood, the Jedi act otherwise. For example, they seek to "serve" the Force. Likewise, they desire to follow the Force's "will," which they see as an active, intelligent guiding principle that controls the events of the universe.

On the contrary, Kael feels he is more consistent in regards to the Force, believing it to be exactly what the Jedi say it is: an energy field that is created by all living things. Fayne believes "serving" the Force would be akin to serving a shield generator for the energy it provides around the ship. Likewise, it would be foolish to expect an energy field to bring about order and meaning in the universe. Thus, instead of being served, Fayne sees the Force as something to be used to bring about the order that is so lacking in a universe of relative chaos.

Created initially during the time of [[Grand Master]] [[Kreeayt Havok]] to hold the secrets of the Brotherhood, the HOLOCRON was added onto as the Brotherhood underwent tremendous growth over the next decade. At the time of the [[Exodus]], the holocron was a hepta-hedral with the original portion of the holocron signifying the [[Dark Council]] as the centerpiece. During the Exodus, the holocron was broken up into pieces in order to smuggle it out from the [[Emperor's Hammer]], but the ships carrying it away from [[Eos]] were ambushed by units of the [[Avenger Task Force]] who remained loyal to Grand Admiral Ronin. All of the pieces were recovered eventually by the members of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] except for one, but it has recently been located on [[New Tython]].

==History==

With the ascension of Havok to the position of [[Grand Master]], there was finally a Grand Master to have first been a member of the Emperor’s Hammer before joining the Brotherhood. These Imperial tendencies led him to realize how quickly things could change in the leadership of an organization so he constructed the Umbra Holocron to hold the knowledge of the Dark Council.

As each succeeding Grand Master took over, their knowledge was placed into the holocron as a means of keeping the secrets of the Brotherhood in a safe place. As clans were developed and created, each clan’s consul began putting the training and knowledge of their clans into the holocron as well. A detachable recording piece was built for each clan, and the consul simply had to take their part and imbue it with the secrets that he so wished. Upon its return, the piece would slide into the main holocron resulting in the transfer of the knowledge into the database. This continued for many years until the infamous [[Deputy Grand Master]] Astatine became involved in the internal politics of the Brotherhood.

Grand Master [[Firefox]] ordered the holocron split up in order to deprive the Emperor’s Hammer the knowledge of the Dark Side, and a ship from each clan was tasked with taking the pieces to their new homes. Just as the ships were departing the moon, a flotilla of vessels from the [[Avenger Task Force]] appeared to help the Brotherhood members who chose to stay behind. A battle ensued between the opposing factions, and the enemy group attempted to flee via hyperspace. It was a foolhardy move as the damaged vessels caused their linked jump computers to fail, and the pieces were scattered across the galaxy.

Special units were sent out by both the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and the [[Emperor's Hammer]] in an attempt to find all of the pieces of the holocron. Many were killed on both sides as they attempted to locate all of the pieces. With the weakening of power of the Emperor’s Hammer, the Dark Brotherhood was able to press their advantage and eventually locate all of the pieces except one. That final piece is located in the Jedi temple on [[New Tython]].

==Keeper==
Upon its completion, it was decided that the holocron should contain all of the teachings that the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had to offer. The one tasked with the collection of this knowledge was the current Grand Master, [[Kreeayt Havok]] – the third [[Grand Master]] of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Once given the task of gathering the Brotherhood’s knowledge, Havok set out immediately.

Having served in the past as both the [[Master at Arms]] and the [[Headmaster]] at the [[Shadow Academy]], Havok had already accumulated a vast amount of knowledge. Upon his elevation to the position of Grand Master, this knowledge only grew even more impressive. Havok traveled to the power base of each unit under his dominion and whatever information he found, he would store within the holocron, adding to the information of his own that had already been stored.

After Havok’s reign ended, there have been many theories sprouting up regarding his reasons for the construction of this holocron. One theory that seems to loom over all others mentions his apprentice, who would take up the Iron Throne once Kreeayt stepped down. The theory suggests that perhaps Havok could sense the trouble that was to come in the form of his apprentice and, having known this, decided to safeguard the teachings of the Brotherhood should some terrible threat arise in the future.

== Contributors ==

=== Jac Cotelin ===
[[image:Jac.jpg|thumb|left|175px|GM Jac Cotelin]]
During his first stint as [[Grandmaster]], [[Jac Cotelin]] was one of the youngest people to ever reach the highest ranks within the Brotherhood. This fact led him to become universally feared and respected by the Brotherhood. His intense studies led to issues with Dark Council. However due to his studies he was able to store much of his findings withing the holocron.

It was often remarked about Jac Cotelin’s facial expressions. He was able to display his emotions to the most extreme degrees. The dark side is also often seen to have a wider usage of emotion than the light side. Jac poured his understandings of emotions during his first stint as Grandmaster in to the holocron.

=== Justinian Khyron ===
[[image:Picture-history khyron.jpg|thumb|right|175px|GM Justinian Khyron]]
[[Khyron]] was Cotelin’s successor. His leadership of the Brotherhood was punctuated by a serious uprising, leading to him being temporarily removed from his position. It was under Khyron that the Grandmaster’s Royal Guard was first formed. Khyron began to set up safeguards to prevent the Clans from rising up to overthrow the Iron Throne again.

Khyron’s experience with uprisings and resistance from the Clans of the Brotherhood left him furiously planning to prevent it from ever occurring again. All of his studies, thoughts and final plans should it ever occur again were stored within the holocron for safekeeping.

=== Thedek ===

[[Thedek]] was the ninth serving Grandmaster of the Brotherhood and a extremely influential [[Master at Arms]]. His rule saw modifications to several aspects of the Brotherhood including the Envoy system and the Royal Guard that was established during Khyron’s rule. Importantly it was under Thedek that the [[Chamber of Justice]] was created, establishing a system of law within the Brotherhood.

Thedek saw the need for a balance to the way the Brotherhood functioned. He understood there were basic rights, privileges and rules that Brotherhood members needed to follow in order for the Brotherhood to survive. The all out chaos of past large groups of dark side users had always failed because of the lack of rights and rules. Thedek stored the basic operations of the Chamber of Justice within the holocron so that future generations may learn from it and implement it should anything happen to the Brotherhood.

=== Faethor ===
[[image:Picture-chilong.JPG|thumb|left|175px|GM Faethor]]
Grandmaster [[Faethor]] served as the eleventh Grandmaster and was the last to have his full time spent pre-Exodus. He is also notable for having two stints in as the Herald for the Brotherhood. His long time standing service to the Brotherhood and multiple positions held meant that he had large amounts of Dark Council level experience.

The Herald is seen as the “face” of the Brotherhood and one of the large contributors to insuring the Brotherhood’s identity is hidden from the Galaxy at large. Due to his multiple times of experience with this Faethor learned much about the art of deception and concealment. He stored his knowledge of these factors into the holocron during his time as Grandmaster to ensure the Brotherhood could continue to be hidden from prying eyes.

==Description==

The Umbra Holocron is hepta-hedral in shape, meaning it has seven edges and has height. This shape was used to signify the original Clans of the Dark Brotherhood. It was expected that each of the Clans would provide a portion of their skills to the future of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], and this holocron would be the conveyance.

The Holocron is actually eight different sections, one for each of the Clans and one of the Dark Council. The Holocron can be separated into these sections, and requires all of them to be connected before it will function. While separated, the sections are still capable of maintaining the information held within. The [[Dark Council]] central 'hub' contains the emitter and the central processor.

The internal structure of the Holocron is similar to most others discovered throughout the galaxy. The organic crystals were discovered in a cave on [[Eos]], and were protected from the Clans by the Dark Council. [[Kreeayt Havok|Havok]] himself harvested the crystals and formed them into the holomatrix used within the holocron. He used [[Sith Alchemy]] to corrupt the crystals, causing them to shift into a dark red hue.

The outside of the holocron is for protection and for show. The Dark Council section is covered with a thin layer of gold, denoting the importance of this section. The rest of the holocron is crafted out of a smokey metal, a nod to the name, Umbra. The design on top is split between the sections, and uses the colors of the Orders as decoration. The Blue of [[Obelisk]] and the Red of the [[Sith]] and the Purple of the [[Krath]] are all crafted from thinly sliced crystals.

==Contents==

The contents of the Umbra Holocron were split into each of the sections making it up. Each section “belonged” to a Clan of the Brotherhood, insuring their knowledge could be maintained for future generations. It also holds teachings and knowledge stored by the Grandmasters of the Brotherhood during their reigns up to when the holocrons was broken apart for safety under the rule of GM [[Firefox]] during the events of the [[Exodus]].

===Scholae Palatinae===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Csp-logo2.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Scholae Palatinae]]
[[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] is one of the original units of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and one of the first that had been made into a Clan in 19 ABY. With the decree from the Dark Council in 33 ABY it returned to its original House status. Independent and Proud, today, it presides as the rules of the [[Cocytus System]] as its dominion. The [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Empire]], although small, is an important and historic force within the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

====Training Schemes====
The [[Praetorian Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|Praetorian Regiment]] is an elite regiment of Scholae Palatinae military. The Praetorian Regiment is the only one with a structure that is entirely devoted to black ops and it is always the order called upon to do critical missions. Their secondary mission was also to defend the Clan’s headquarters on [[Judecca]] and any other important area in the Cocytus System. They were the last defense.

Their section contains the training regimen developed to improve the combat effectiveness of the elite troopers. It was the Consul's plan to provide for the future defense of the Dark Brotherhood by improving the overall effectiveness of their fighting troops. The future Dark Jedi could probably also do with some improvement.

====Clan Force Powers - Animalism====

Animalism was a technique specifically with the Clan Scholae Palatinae that was formed within three tiers with twelve levels. Tier one had Feral Understanding, Bestial Empathy, Animal Aspect. These three things focused on being able to understand the animal tongue but not speak it, perceive the animal’s general emotions and take on specific characteristics of the animal. Tier two Feral Conversation, Bestial Telepathy, Animal Alteration, and Summons of Nature. These were focused on conversation both ways with the animals, superficially alteration to resemble certain aspects of the given animal, and summoning the animal. The third and final tier levels were Call Familiar, Feral Translation, Animal Magnetism, Animal Form and Spirit brother. This tier helped the members call for help from the animal, talk to other humans while in human form, emit animal pheromones, transform entirely into the animal and understanding the animal through the force.

===Arcona===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Carc-logo.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Arcona]]
[[Clan Arcona]] is one of two remaining Dark Jedi Clans within the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi. It currently has two constituent Houses: [[House Qel-Droma]] and [[House Galeres|Galeres]]. A third house, [[House Oriens Obscurum]], has also been active in Arcona's past. For a brief time in 34ABY, the clan was reorganized into a house, before reforming into a clan towards the start of 35ABY.

===Training Schemes===

Acrona specialized in a group called the Light Infantry. They were a unit that were quintessential scouts with all military units, their ranks are filled from the members of the Warrior caste and differ from the Skirmishing Infantry in that they do not utilize armor and are expected to have much more mobility as a direct result.

Mobility is key in warfare, and this is the reason for this schemes inclusion into the holocron. The Arconan Consul believed that the Dark Jedi were often lethargic when in combat. Improving reflexes and speed of march could make the difference in any battle.

====Clan Force Powers – Shadowcrafting====

Shadowcrafting was Acrona’s special force power. This had four tiers and ten levels. Tier one consisted of levels one through three and were Slave Silhouette, Shadow Construct and Dark Sight. These were the basic Skills that one had control over one’s shadow, and heightened perception in darkness. Tier two were levels four through nine that were Cloak of Shadow, The Dark Forge, Oubliette, Touch of Darkness, Dark Matter, and Become the Shadow, these were considered the path to the outer darkness and helped one’s control of shadow and darkness in interacting with the physical world. Tier three was the Inner Darkness that was also levels four through nine but a different path to take within the power tier, they were Sense of Shadows, Shades of the Past, The Shaded Mind, Dark Soul, The Black Chamber and Extinquish the light, and this helped one’s control of shadow and darkness as abstracts along the mental/psychic plane. The last Tier was Shadow Master and was level ten, which was called Darkest night and helped one’s pinnacle of Shadowcrafting.

===Tarentum===

====Basic Information ====
[[image:Tar-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Tarentum]]
As with the other Houses now in existence, [[Clan Tarentum]] began as one of many Houses that dotted the socio-political landscape of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The last of the "original" Houses to form, Tarentum was formed by the members of the legendary Tau Squadron. When Tarentum became a Clan proper, it originally sired the vassal Houses of [[House Tridens|Tridens]], [[House Gladius|Gladius]] and years later spawned a third House, [[House Cestus|Cestus]]. However, all three of these Houses were closed during the reign of [[Maxamillian von Oberst-Tarentae]] and two new Houses were created after two heroes of Tarentum: Kaerner and [[Reinthaler]].

====Training Schemes====

The Draugr is one of the deadliest of risen corpses. Of the corporeal undead, it is the one that requires the body and corrupted soul of a Force User. How strong the Force User was in life matters little. What does matter is the strength of will of the Necromancers used to craft and raise this hellish warrior. Possessing super-Human speed, strength and agility, the Draugr is a near juggernaut on the battlefield. And they learn. While newly risen Draugr are terrors, given time and training, they can become elite warriors, serving their creator as nearly unstoppable weapons.

The Draugr are corpses, and so their creators must take care to ensure that they do not give themselves away. Normally swathed head to toe in heavy robes or the skintight bodysuits that thieves favor, usually only their eyes are visible. And these eyes tend to give them away, as they never blink – starting out red and bloodshot, and finally becoming a jaundiced yellow. Draugr do not normally speak, but will answer questions from their creator in a direct fashion. Normally this is not necessary, as their Creator can communicate telepathically with the Draugr.

Though most Dark Jedi tend to refrain for dabbling in the necromantic arts, the training is available to those who are interested to use them in combat.

====Clan Force Powers – Necromancy====

Necromancy was the dark and mysterious art practiced exclusively by [[Clan Tarentum]]. While the art involved several core Force powers under different names, the term "necromancy" was used to classify the ritualistic and ceremonial practices that the clan partook in. It also symbolized Tarentum's alliance with the strange entities known as the Keepers, who had been able to strengthen the Force powers of the Tarenti so that they may better commune with both the dead and the living.

===Taldryan===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Elementalism taldryan.png|thumb|right|100px|Taldryan]]
[[Taldryan]] is currently the First House of the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi, though previously it was fully fledged Clan. The Clan was initially founded from Independent [[House Ektrosis]], at which point [[House Archanis]] and [[House Dinaari]] joined with them to complete the structure of what would be the most dominant Clan in the Brotherhood's history. Today that record still holds true with the House continuing to push for an even more successful future. With the downsizing from Clan to House, Taldryan has two Battle Teams: [[Old Folks' Home]] and [[Phoenix Phyle]].

====Training Schemes====

The "Consul's Fist" was the step up from the Consul's Honor Guard. One member from the ranks of the Cohors Praetoria Taldryae served for a term of 3 months. During this time he or she would serve as an extension of the Consul's will across the Brotherhood. Rarely exercising his power directly, the Fist would more often use subterfuge and back-channels to deal with the Consul's problems. However when it was necessary he could unleash his deadly potential in the name of Taldryan. Much as former guard members never completely lost their title, former Fist's would always remain in the Consul's service in some manner. Following the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion Consul Duga Taldrya Arkarso dissolved the guard and the Consul's Fist while announcing a new elite unit to come.

Intelligence gathering and subterfuge should always be a tool in the arsenal of any Dark Jedi. At the time of this portion of information's inclusion, the Dark Jedi in the Dark Brotherhood had become lax and unconcerned with the movements and changes of their enemies.

====Clan Force Powers – Elementalism====

Elementalism was divided into three tiers. The first one had levels one through three, they were Vortex, Fissure, and Water Manipulation. These focused on the basics of the power allowed them to manipulate the currents of the aire, fissures in the earth and controlling where and how a body gathered water. Tier two consisted of levels four through seven which were Barrier, Combustion, Lightning Shield and Cryokinesis. These focused more on the defense with using the earth as a shield, increasing body temperature of any object, electrical energy protection as well as decreasing the temperature of moisture in the air. Tier four were levels eight through twelve, they were Pyrokinesis, Levitation, Kinetic Charge, Elemental Empathy and Elemental Transference. These experienced levels focused on altering the basic elements for fire for offense and defense, wind to levitate, electricity for offense and the last ability to transfer the essence of any element into themselves for their properties.

===Naga Sadow===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Cns-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Naga Sadow]]
[[Clan Naga Sadow]] is the body of Sons, Daughters and Disciples who serve [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]], the heir of the Sadow dynasty and Overlord of the Clan. The House was reformulated in 33 ABY, formed out of the union of the cults of [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the Sadow dynasty reaffirmed its singular rule. It operates under the cover of the Dlarit Corporation. In recent years the House's followers have also adopted the teachings of [[starwars:Urias Orian|Urias Orian]] in addition to those of its three originating cults of disciples.

====Training Schemes====

The [[Dlarit Army]] is the main security and law enforcement division of the [[Dlarit Security Force]]. The Dlarit Army is overseen by the chief of staff, who holds the rank of general and reports to the adjutant general of the DSF. The army is organised into two main branches: the police force and the naval marines. The police provide day to day law enforcement and security for the main mining colonies throughout the [[Orian system]]. There are about fifteen thousand uniformed officers on the streets and in the mines. The marines provide support for the Dlarit Navy, including security for the main space stations above [[Tarthos]].

Enforcement of the Dark Brotherhood Law is one of the tenants of a Clan in the Dark Brotherhood. One of the major reasons behind the Great Jedi Wars of the past were because one Clan broke a tenant or a law and had to be punished in some way. It was the hope of the Consul of Naga Sadow that this self-destructive circle could end in the future.

====Clan Force Powers – Telekinetics====

This was a technique that was specific for Naga Shadow, it had three tiers and twelve levels. The basics were levels one through three and focused on Force Push, Force Barrier, and Telekinetic Grip. These focused on the easy parts to become a gateway towards more powerful techniques. The second tier were levels four through seven that were Projected Fighting, Kinetic Combat, Force Flight and Kinetic Might. These were focused on combat specific techniques in order to help the user gain power of their opponent. The third tier was levels eight to twelve. They were Force Wave, Telekinetic Crush, Force Whrilwind, Kinetic Storm, and Manipulation. This is what the creators themselves were made of and it is with the power of the Inner Order that one can move the stars and shape the galaxy itself.

===Alvaak===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Alvaak-logo.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Alvaak]]
[[Clan Alvaak]] was a clan formed within the Brotherhood when they were operating with the Emperor's Hammer. Formed by Ronin, leader of the Emperor's Hammer, the clan was comprised of houses Tarentum and Satal Keto before they grew to become their own clans. The Clan did not join the rest of the Brotherhood when they left the Emperor's Hammer in what would later be termed the Exodus. Here is some information that the Emperor's Hammer had about Clan Alvaak.

====Clan Force Powers – Mind Control====

Because Clan Alvaak was lost to the generations for some time, the Dark Council Scholars believe that the Mind Control that was unique to this clan, they could not uncover their secrets after Clan Alvaak disappeared. Though it is suspected that the secrets to the clan’s Mind Control abilities are hidden and yet to be found, all that we know is that it is speculated to completely control the enemy against their will.

===Satal Keto===

====Basic Information====

Named after the Krath Lord [[Starwars:Satal Keto|Satal Keto]], Clan Satal Keto was once one of seven clans in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood until it was merged with Clan Exar Kun to form Clan Plagueis. It was subsequently divided into houses [[House Aleema|Aleema]], [[House Kirleta|Kirleta]], and [[House Galthain|Galthain]]. Though their remaining strength constantly ebbed. After one particular war, the Clan was irrevocably weakened. It was then that the Crimson Tide, having been hired by an unknown individual, attacked Clan Satal Keto. The two factions battled for four brutal days. Just as the Crimson Tide was beginning to gain the upper hand, [[Consul]] Selket requested aide from Keto's sister Clan, [[Clan Exar Kun]].

====Training Schemes: ====

[[Clan Satal Keto]] based most of their operations on their founders principles. There were no units or military organizations, but each person was in charge of their own protection for their leaders based on his ideals of self preservation and survival of the fittest. If anyone was not strong enough to protect themselves, then they therefore could not protect others in their Clan. Because Satal Keto excelled in space combat, so did the clan. It was a requirement to be part of the Clan, to have extra ordinary piloting skills.

====Clan Force Powers – Dominance====
[[image:Cp-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Plagueis]]
Because Satal Keto became [[Plagueis]], their force power remained Dominance. This technique focused on Mind Control and Illusion, there were three tiers and twelve levels. Tier one were levels one through three and were composed of Bastion of the Dark Might, Empathic Imprint and Cognitive Prescience. The first three helped affect Force effects by twisting emotions and projecting/receiving with their ability to read thoughts. Tier two were levels four through eight, they were Compulsion, Confusion, Psychic Rendering and Voice of the Dark Master. These were the middle ground, enhancing the mind tricks with implanting, confusing, stunning, brainwashing and compiling their presence to their most effective means. The third and final tier were levels nine through twelve which were Weirdling, Dominate, Mind Lance, Dark Regalia and Gift of Plagueis. The final levels were meant to pro-long his life span by manipulating the midicholrians within his own body. This power is one of such a Dark Nature that the toll it takes is sometimes said to be a sign of a user unworthy the benefits of a prolonged life.

Created initially during the time of [[Grand Master]] [[Kreeayt Havok]] to hold the secrets of the Brotherhood, the HOLOCRON was added onto as the Brotherhood underwent tremendous growth over the next decade. At the time of the [[Exodus]], the holocron was a hepta-hedral with the original portion of the holocron signifying the [[Dark Council]] as the centerpiece. During the Exodus, the holocron was broken up into pieces in order to smuggle it out from the [[Emperor's Hammer]], but the ships carrying it away from [[Eos]] were ambushed by units of the [[Avenger Task Force]] who remained loyal to Grand Admiral Ronin. All of the pieces were recovered eventually by the members of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] except for one, but it has recently been located on [[New Tython]].

==History==

With the ascension of Havok to the position of [[Grand Master]], there was finally a Grand Master to have first been a member of the Emperor’s Hammer before joining the Brotherhood. These Imperial tendencies led him to realize how quickly things could change in the leadership of an organization so he constructed the Umbra Holocron to hold the knowledge of the Dark Council.

As each succeeding Grand Master took over, their knowledge was placed into the holocron as a means of keeping the secrets of the Brotherhood in a safe place. As clans were developed and created, each clan’s consul began putting the training and knowledge of their clans into the holocron as well. A detachable recording piece was built for each clan, and the consul simply had to take their part and imbue it with the secrets that he so wished. Upon its return, the piece would slide into the main holocron resulting in the transfer of the knowledge into the database. This continued for many years until the infamous [[Deputy Grand Master]] Astatine became involved in the internal politics of the Brotherhood.

Grand Master [[Firefox]] ordered the holocron split up in order to deprive the Emperor’s Hammer the knowledge of the Dark Side, and a ship from each clan was tasked with taking the pieces to their new homes. Just as the ships were departing the moon, a flotilla of vessels from the [[Avenger Task Force]] appeared to help the Brotherhood members who chose to stay behind. A battle ensued between the opposing factions, and the enemy group attempted to flee via hyperspace. It was a foolhardy move as the damaged vessels caused their linked jump computers to fail, and the pieces were scattered across the galaxy.

Special units were sent out by both the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and the [[Emperor's Hammer]] in an attempt to find all of the pieces of the holocron. Many were killed on both sides as they attempted to locate all of the pieces. With the weakening of power of the Emperor’s Hammer, the Dark Brotherhood was able to press their advantage and eventually locate all of the pieces except one. That final piece is located in the Jedi temple on [[New Tython]].

==Keeper==
Upon its completion, it was decided that the holocron should contain all of the teachings that the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had to offer. The one tasked with the collection of this knowledge was the current Grand Master, [[Kreeayt Havok]] – the third [[Grand Master]] of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Once given the task of gathering the Brotherhood’s knowledge, Havok set out immediately.

Having served in the past as both the [[Master at Arms]] and the [[Headmaster]] at the [[Shadow Academy]], Havok had already accumulated a vast amount of knowledge. Upon his elevation to the position of Grand Master, this knowledge only grew even more impressive. Havok traveled to the power base of each unit under his dominion and whatever information he found, he would store within the holocron, adding to the information of his own that had already been stored.

After Havok’s reign ended, there have been many theories sprouting up regarding his reasons for the construction of this holocron. One theory that seems to loom over all others mentions his apprentice, who would take up the Iron Throne once Kreeayt stepped down. The theory suggests that perhaps Havok could sense the trouble that was to come in the form of his apprentice and, having known this, decided to safeguard the teachings of the Brotherhood should some terrible threat arise in the future.

=== Jac Cotelin ===
[[image:Jac.jpg|thumb|left|175px|GM Jac Cotelin]]
During his first stint as [[Grandmaster]], [[Jac Cotelin]] was one of the youngest people to ever reach the highest ranks within the Brotherhood. This fact led him to become universally feared and respected by the Brotherhood. His intense studies led to issues with Dark Council. However due to his studies he was able to store much of his findings withing the holocron.

It was often remarked about Jac Cotelin’s facial expressions. He was able to display his emotions to the most extreme degrees. The dark side is also often seen to have a wider usage of emotion than the light side. Jac poured his understandings of emotions during his first stint as Grandmaster in to the holocron.

=== Justinian Khyron ===
[[image:Picture-history khyron.jpg|thumb|right|175px|GM Justinian Khyron]]
[[Khyron]] was Cotelin’s successor. His leadership of the Brotherhood was punctuated by a serious uprising, leading to him being temporarily removed from his position. It was under Khyron that the Grandmaster’s Royal Guard was first formed. Khyron began to set up safeguards to prevent the Clans from rising up to overthrow the Iron Throne again.

Khyron’s experience with uprisings and resistance from the Clans of the Brotherhood left him furiously planning to prevent it from ever occurring again. All of his studies, thoughts and final plans should it ever occur again were stored within the holocron for safekeeping.

=== Thedek ===

[[Thedek]] was the ninth serving Grandmaster of the Brotherhood and a extremely influential [[Master at Arms]]. His rule saw modifications to several aspects of the Brotherhood including the Envoy system and the Royal Guard that was established during Khyron’s rule. Importantly it was under Thedek that the Chamber of Justice was created, establishing a system of law within the Brotherhood.

Thedek saw the need for a balance to the way the Brotherhood functioned. He understood there were basic rights, privileges and rules that Brotherhood members needed to follow in order for the Brotherhood to survive. The all out chaos of past large groups of dark side users had always failed because of the lack of rights and rules. Thedek stored the basic operations of the Chamber of Justice within the holocron so that future generations may learn from it and implement it should anything happen to the Brotherhood.

=== Faethor ===
[[image:Picture-chilong.JPG|thumb|left|175px|GM Faethor]]
Grandmaster [[Faethor]] served as the eleventh Grandmaster and was the last to have his full time spent pre-Exodus. He is also notable for having two stints in as the Herald for the Brotherhood. His long time standing service to the Brotherhood and multiple positions held meant that he had large amounts of Dark Council level experience.

The Herald is seen as the “face” of the Brotherhood and one of the large contributors to insuring the Brotherhood’s identity is hidden from the Galaxy at large. Due to his multiple times of experience with this Faethor learned much about the art of deception and concealment. He stored his knowledge of these factors into the holocron during his time as Grandmaster to ensure the Brotherhood could continue to be hidden from prying eyes.

==Description==

The Umbra Holocron is hepta-hedral in shape, meaning it has seven edges and has height. This shape was used to signify the original Clans of the Dark Brotherhood. It was expected that each of the Clans would provide a portion of their skills to the future of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], and this holocron would be the conveyance.

The Holocron is actually eight different sections, one for each of the Clans and one of the Dark Council. The Holocron can be separated into these sections, and requires all of them to be connected before it will function. While separated, the sections are still capable of maintaining the information held within. The [[Dark Council]] central 'hub' contains the emitter and the central processor.

The internal structure of the Holocron is similar to most others discovered throughout the galaxy. The organic crystals were discovered in a cave on [[Eos]], and were protected from the Clans by the Dark Council. [[Kreeayt Havok|Havok]] himself harvested the crystals and formed them into the holomatrix used within the holocron. He used [[Sith Alchemy]] to corrupt the crystals, causing them to shift into a dark red hue.

The outside of the holocron is for protection and for show. The Dark Council section is covered with a thin layer of gold, denoting the importance of this section. The rest of the holocron is crafted out of a smokey metal, a nod to the name, Umbra. The design on top is split between the sections, and uses the colors of the Orders as decoration. The Blue of [[Obelisk]] and the Red of the [[Sith]] and the Purple of the [[Krath]] are all crafted from thinly sliced crystals.

==Contents==

The contents of the Umbra Holocron were split into each of the sections making it up. Each section “belonged” to a Clan of the Brotherhood, insuring their knowledge could be maintained for future generations. It also holds teachings and knowledge stored by the Grandmasters of the Brotherhood during their reigns up to when the holocrons was broken apart for safety under the rule of GM [[Firefox]] during the events of the [[Exodus]].

===Scholae Palatinae===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Csp-logo2.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Scholae Palatinae]]
[[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] is one of the original units of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and one of the first that had been made into a Clan in 19 ABY. With the decree from the Dark Council in 33 ABY it returned to its original House status. Independent and Proud, today, it presides as the rules of the [[Cocytus System]] as its dominion. The [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Empire]], although small, is an important and historic force within the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

====Training Schemes====
The [[Praetorian Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|Praetorian Regiment]] is an elite regiment of Scholae Palatinae military. The Praetorian Regiment is the only one with a structure that is entirely devoted to black ops and it is always the order called upon to do critical missions. Their secondary mission was also to defend the Clan’s headquarters on [[Judecca]] and any other important area in the Cocytus System. They were the last defense.

Their section contains the training regimen developed to improve the combat effectiveness of the elite troopers. It was the Consul's plan to provide for the future defense of the Dark Brotherhood by improving the overall effectiveness of their fighting troops. The future Dark Jedi could probably also do with some improvement.

====Clan Force Powers - Animalism====

Animalism was a technique specifically with the Clan Scholae Palatinae that was formed within three tiers with twelve levels. Tier one had Feral Understanding, Bestial Empathy, Animal Aspect. These three things focused on being able to understand the animal tongue but not speak it, perceive the animal’s general emotions and take on specific characteristics of the animal. Tier two Feral Conversation, Bestial Telepathy, Animal Alteration, and Summons of Nature. These were focused on conversation both ways with the animals, superficially alteration to resemble certain aspects of the given animal, and summoning the animal. The third and final tier levels were Call Familiar, Feral Translation, Animal Magnetism, Animal Form and Spirit brother. This tier helped the members call for help from the animal, talk to other humans while in human form, emit animal pheromones, transform entirely into the animal and understanding the animal through the force.

===Arcona===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Carc-logo.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Arcona]]
[[Clan Arcona]] is one of two remaining Dark Jedi Clans within the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi. It currently has two constituent Houses: [[House Qel-Droma]] and [[House Galeres|Galeres]]. A third house, [[House Oriens Obscurum]], has also been active in Arcona's past. For a brief time in 34ABY, the clan was reorganized into a house, before reforming into a clan towards the start of 35ABY.

===Training Schemes===

Acrona specialized in a group called the Light Infantry. They were a unit that were quintessential scouts with all military units, their ranks are filled from the members of the Warrior caste and differ from the Skirmishing Infantry in that they do not utilize armor and are expected to have much more mobility as a direct result.

Mobility is key in warfare, and this is the reason for this schemes inclusion into the holocron. The Arconan Consul believed that the Dark Jedi were often lethargic when in combat. Improving reflexes and speed of march could make the difference in any battle.

====Clan Force Powers – Shadowcrafting====

Shadowcrafting was Acrona’s special force power. This had four tiers and ten levels. Tier one consisted of levels one through three and were Slave Silhouette, Shadow Construct and Dark Sight. These were the basic Skills that one had control over one’s shadow, and heightened perception in darkness. Tier two were levels four through nine that were Cloak of Shadow, The Dark Forge, Oubliette, Touch of Darkness, Dark Matter, and Become the Shadow, these were considered the path to the outer darkness and helped one’s control of shadow and darkness in interacting with the physical world. Tier three was the Inner Darkness that was also levels four through nine but a different path to take within the power tier, they were Sense of Shadows, Shades of the Past, The Shaded Mind, Dark Soul, The Black Chamber and Extinquish the light, and this helped one’s control of shadow and darkness as abstracts along the mental/psychic plane. The last Tier was Shadow Master and was level ten, which was called Darkest night and helped one’s pinnacle of Shadowcrafting.

===Tarentum===

====Basic Information ====
[[image:Tar-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Tarentum]]
As with the other Houses now in existence, [[Clan Tarentum]] began as one of many Houses that dotted the socio-political landscape of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The last of the "original" Houses to form, Tarentum was formed by the members of the legendary Tau Squadron. When Tarentum became a Clan proper, it originally sired the vassal Houses of [[House Tridens|Tridens]], [[House Gladius|Gladius]] and years later spawned a third House, [[House Cestus|Cestus]]. However, all three of these Houses were closed during the reign of [[Maxamillian von Oberst-Tarentae]] and two new Houses were created after two heroes of Tarentum: Kaerner and [[Reinthaler]].

====Training Schemes====

The Draugr is one of the deadliest of risen corpses. Of the corporeal undead, it is the one that requires the body and corrupted soul of a Force User. How strong the Force User was in life matters little. What does matter is the strength of will of the Necromancers used to craft and raise this hellish warrior. Possessing super-Human speed, strength and agility, the Draugr is a near juggernaut on the battlefield. And they learn. While newly risen Draugr are terrors, given time and training, they can become elite warriors, serving their creator as nearly unstoppable weapons.

The Draugr are corpses, and so their creators must take care to ensure that they do not give themselves away. Normally swathed head to toe in heavy robes or the skintight bodysuits that thieves favor, usually only their eyes are visible. And these eyes tend to give them away, as they never blink – starting out red and bloodshot, and finally becoming a jaundiced yellow. Draugr do not normally speak, but will answer questions from their creator in a direct fashion. Normally this is not necessary, as their Creator can communicate telepathically with the Draugr.

Though most Dark Jedi tend to refrain for dabbling in the necromantic arts, the training is available to those who are interested to use them in combat.

====Clan Force Powers – Necromancy====

Necromancy was the dark and mysterious art practiced exclusively by [[Clan Tarentum]]. While the art involved several core Force powers under different names, the term "necromancy" was used to classify the ritualistic and ceremonial practices that the clan partook in. It also symbolized Tarentum's alliance with the strange entities known as the Keepers, who had been able to strengthen the Force powers of the Tarenti so that they may better commune with both the dead and the living.

===Taldryan===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Elementalism taldryan.png|thumb|right|100px|Taldryan]]
[[Taldryan]] is currently the First House of the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi, though previously it was fully fledged Clan. The Clan was initially founded from Independent [[House Ektrosis]], at which point [[House Archanis]] and [[House Dinaari]] joined with them to complete the structure of what would be the most dominant Clan in the Brotherhood's history. Today that record still holds true with the House continuing to push for an even more successful future. With the downsizing from Clan to House, Taldryan has two Battle Teams: [[Old Folks' Home]] and [[Phoenix Phyle]].

====Training Schemes====

The "Consul's Fist" was the step up from the Consul's Honor Guard. One member from the ranks of the Cohors Praetoria Taldryae served for a term of 3 months. During this time he or she would serve as an extension of the Consul's will across the Brotherhood. Rarely exercising his power directly, the Fist would more often use subterfuge and back-channels to deal with the Consul's problems. However when it was necessary he could unleash his deadly potential in the name of Taldryan. Much as former guard members never completely lost their title, former Fist's would always remain in the Consul's service in some manner. Following the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion Consul Duga Taldrya Arkarso dissolved the guard and the Consul's Fist while announcing a new elite unit to come.

Intelligence gathering and subterfuge should always be a tool in the arsenal of any Dark Jedi. At the time of this portion of information's inclusion, the Dark Jedi in the Dark Brotherhood had become lax and unconcerned with the movements and changes of their enemies.

====Clan Force Powers – Elementalism====

Elementalism was divided into three tiers. The first one had levels one through three, they were Vortex, Fissure, and Water Manipulation. These focused on the basics of the power allowed them to manipulate the currents of the aire, fissures in the earth and controlling where and how a body gathered water. Tier two consisted of levels four through seven which were Barrier, Combustion, Lightning Shield and Cryokinesis. These focused more on the defense with using the earth as a shield, increasing body temperature of any object, electrical energy protection as well as decreasing the temperature of moisture in the air. Tier four were levels eight through twelve, they were Pyrokinesis, Levitation, Kinetic Charge, Elemental Empathy and Elemental Transference. These experienced levels focused on altering the basic elements for fire for offense and defense, wind to levitate, electricity for offense and the last ability to transfer the essence of any element into themselves for their properties.

===Naga Sadow===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Cns-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Naga Sadow]]
[[Clan Naga Sadow]] is the body of Sons, Daughters and Disciples who serve [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]], the heir of the Sadow dynasty and Overlord of the Clan. The House was reformulated in 33 ABY, formed out of the union of the cults of [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the Sadow dynasty reaffirmed its singular rule. It operates under the cover of the Dlarit Corporation. In recent years the House's followers have also adopted the teachings of [[starwars:Urias Orian|Urias Orian]] in addition to those of its three originating cults of disciples.

====Training Schemes====

The [[Dlarit Army]] is the main security and law enforcement division of the [[Dlarit Security Force]]. The Dlarit Army is overseen by the chief of staff, who holds the rank of general and reports to the adjutant general of the DSF. The army is organised into two main branches: the police force and the naval marines. The police provide day to day law enforcement and security for the main mining colonies throughout the [[Orian system]]. There are about fifteen thousand uniformed officers on the streets and in the mines. The marines provide support for the Dlarit Navy, including security for the main space stations above [[Tarthos]].

Enforcement of the Dark Brotherhood Law is one of the tenants of a Clan in the Dark Brotherhood. One of the major reasons behind the Great Jedi Wars of the past were because one Clan broke a tenant or a law and had to be punished in some way. It was the hope of the Consul of Naga Sadow that this self-destructive circle could end in the future.

====Clan Force Powers – Telekinetics====

This was a technique that was specific for Naga Shadow, it had three tiers and twelve levels. The basics were levels one through three and focused on Force Push, Force Barrier, and Telekinetic Grip. These focused on the easy parts to become a gateway towards more powerful techniques. The second tier were levels four through seven that were Projected Fighting, Kinetic Combat, Force Flight and Kinetic Might. These were focused on combat specific techniques in order to help the user gain power of their opponent. The third tier was levels eight to twelve. They were Force Wave, Telekinetic Crush, Force Whrilwind, Kinetic Storm, and Manipulation. This is what the creators themselves were made of and it is with the power of the Inner Order that one can move the stars and shape the galaxy itself.

===Alvaak===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Alvaak-logo.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Alvaak]]
[[Clan Alvaak]] was a clan formed within the Brotherhood when they were operating with the Emperor's Hammer. Formed by Ronin, leader of the Emperor's Hammer, the clan was comprised of houses Tarentum and Satal Keto before they grew to become their own clans. The Clan did not join the rest of the Brotherhood when they left the Emperor's Hammer in what would later be termed the Exodus. Here is some information that the Emperor's Hammer had about Clan Alvaak.

====Clan Force Powers – Mind Control====

Because Clan Alvaak was lost to the generations for some time, the Dark Council Scholars believe that the Mind Control that was unique to this clan, they could not uncover their secrets after Clan Alvaak disappeared. Though it is suspected that the secrets to the clan’s Mind Control abilities are hidden and yet to be found, all that we know is that it is speculated to completely control the enemy against their will.

===Satal Keto===

====Basic Information====

Named after the Krath Lord [[Starwars:Satal Keto|Satal Keto]], Clan Satal Keto was once one of seven clans in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood until it was merged with Clan Exar Kun to form Clan Plagueis. It was subsequently divided into houses [[House Aleema|Aleema]], [[House Kirleta|Kirleta]], and [[House Galthain|Galthain]]. Though their remaining strength constantly ebbed. After one particular war, the Clan was irrevocably weakened. It was then that the Crimson Tide, having been hired by an unknown individual, attacked Clan Satal Keto. The two factions battled for four brutal days. Just as the Crimson Tide was beginning to gain the upper hand, [[Consul]] Selket requested aide from Keto's sister Clan, [[Clan Exar Kun]].

====Training Schemes: ====

[[Clan Satal Keto]] based most of their operations on their founders principles. There were no units or military organizations, but each person was in charge of their own protection for their leaders based on his ideals of self preservation and survival of the fittest. If anyone was not strong enough to protect themselves, then they therefore could not protect others in their Clan. Because Satal Keto excelled in space combat, so did the clan. It was a requirement to be part of the Clan, to have extra ordinary piloting skills.

====Clan Force Powers – Dominance====
[[image:Cp-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Plagueis]]
Because Satal Keto became [[Plagueis]], their force power remained Dominance. This technique focused on Mind Control and Illusion, there were three tiers and twelve levels. Tier one were levels one through three and were composed of Bastion of the Dark Might, Empathic Imprint and Cognitive Prescience. The first three helped affect Force effects by twisting emotions and projecting/receiving with their ability to read thoughts. Tier two were levels four through eight, they were Compulsion, Confusion, Psychic Rendering and Voice of the Dark Master. These were the middle ground, enhancing the mind tricks with implanting, confusing, stunning, brainwashing and compiling their presence to their most effective means. The third and final tier were levels nine through twelve which were Weirdling, Dominate, Mind Lance, Dark Regalia and Gift of Plagueis. The final levels were meant to pro-long his life span by manipulating the midicholrians within his own body. This power is one of such a Dark Nature that the toll it takes is sometimes said to be a sign of a user unworthy the benefits of a prolonged life.

[[image:Picture-history khyron.jpg|thumb|right|175px|GM Justinian Khyron]]
[[Khyron]] was Cotelin’s successor. His leadership of the Brotherhood was punctuated by a serious uprising, leading to him being temporarily removed from his position. It was under Khyron that the Grandmaster’s Royal Guard was first formed. Khyron began to set up safeguards to prevent the Clans from rising up to overthrow the Iron Throne again.

Khyron’s experience with uprisings and resistance from the Clans of the Brotherhood left him furiously planning to prevent it from ever occurring again. All of his studies, thoughts and final plans should it ever occur again were stored within the holocron for safekeeping.

=== Thedek ===

[[Thedek]] was the ninth serving Grandmaster of the Brotherhood and a extremely influential [[Master at Arms]]. His rule saw modifications to several aspects of the Brotherhood including the Envoy system and the Royal Guard that was established during Khyron’s rule. Importantly it was under Thedek that the Chamber of Justice was created, establishing a system of law within the Brotherhood.

Thedek saw the need for a balance to the way the Brotherhood functioned. He understood there were basic rights, privileges and rules that Brotherhood members needed to follow in order for the Brotherhood to survive. The all out chaos of past large groups of dark side users had always failed because of the lack of rights and rules. Thedek stored the basic operations of the Chamber of Justice within the holocron so that future generations may learn from it and implement it should anything happen to the Brotherhood.

=== Faethor ===
[[image:Picture-chilong.JPG|thumb|left|175px|GM Faethor]]
Grandmaster [[Faethor]] served as the eleventh Grandmaster and was the last to have his full time spent pre-Exodus. He is also notable for having two stints in as the Herald for the Brotherhood. His long time standing service to the Brotherhood and multiple positions held meant that he had large amounts of Dark Council level experience.

The Herald is seen as the “face” of the Brotherhood and one of the large contributors to insuring the Brotherhood’s identity is hidden from the Galaxy at large. Due to his multiple times of experience with this Faethor learned much about the art of deception and concealment. He stored his knowledge of these factors into the holocron during his time as Grandmaster to ensure the Brotherhood could continue to be hidden from prying eyes.

==Description==

The Umbra Holocron is hepta-hedral in shape, meaning it has seven edges and has height. This shape was used to signify the original Clans of the Dark Brotherhood. It was expected that each of the Clans would provide a portion of their skills to the future of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], and this holocron would be the conveyance.

The Holocron is actually eight different sections, one for each of the Clans and one of the Dark Council. The Holocron can be separated into these sections, and requires all of them to be connected before it will function. While separated, the sections are still capable of maintaining the information held within. The [[Dark Council]] central 'hub' contains the emitter and the central processor.

The internal structure of the Holocron is similar to most others discovered throughout the galaxy. The organic crystals were discovered in a cave on [[Eos]], and were protected from the Clans by the Dark Council. [[Kreeayt Havok|Havok]] himself harvested the crystals and formed them into the holomatrix used within the holocron. He used [[Sith Alchemy]] to corrupt the crystals, causing them to shift into a dark red hue.

The outside of the holocron is for protection and for show. The Dark Council section is covered with a thin layer of gold, denoting the importance of this section. The rest of the holocron is crafted out of a smokey metal, a nod to the name, Umbra. The design on top is split between the sections, and uses the colors of the Orders as decoration. The Blue of [[Obelisk]] and the Red of the [[Sith]] and the Purple of the [[Krath]] are all crafted from thinly sliced crystals.

==Contents==

The contents of the Umbra Holocron were split into each of the sections making it up. Each section “belonged” to a Clan of the Brotherhood, insuring their knowledge could be maintained for future generations. It also holds teachings and knowledge stored by the Grandmasters of the Brotherhood during their reigns up to when the holocrons was broken apart for safety under the rule of GM [[Firefox]] during the events of the [[Exodus]].

===Scholae Palatinae===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Csp-logo2.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Scholae Palatinae]]
[[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] is one of the original units of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and one of the first that had been made into a Clan in 19 ABY. With the decree from the Dark Council in 33 ABY it returned to its original House status. Independent and Proud, today, it presides as the rules of the [[Cocytus System]] as its dominion. The [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Empire]], although small, is an important and historic force within the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

====Training Schemes====
The [[Praetorian Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|Praetorian Regiment]] is an elite regiment of Scholae Palatinae military. The Praetorian Regiment is the only one with a structure that is entirely devoted to black ops and it is always the order called upon to do critical missions. Their secondary mission was also to defend the Clan’s headquarters on [[Judecca]] and any other important area in the Cocytus System. They were the last defense.

Their section contains the training regimen developed to improve the combat effectiveness of the elite troopers. It was the Consul's plan to provide for the future defense of the Dark Brotherhood by improving the overall effectiveness of their fighting troops. The future Dark Jedi could probably also do with some improvement.

====Clan Force Powers - Animalism====

Animalism was a technique specifically with the Clan Scholae Palatinae that was formed within three tiers with twelve levels. Tier one had Feral Understanding, Bestial Empathy, Animal Aspect. These three things focused on being able to understand the animal tongue but not speak it, perceive the animal’s general emotions and take on specific characteristics of the animal. Tier two Feral Conversation, Bestial Telepathy, Animal Alteration, and Summons of Nature. These were focused on conversation both ways with the animals, superficially alteration to resemble certain aspects of the given animal, and summoning the animal. The third and final tier levels were Call Familiar, Feral Translation, Animal Magnetism, Animal Form and Spirit brother. This tier helped the members call for help from the animal, talk to other humans while in human form, emit animal pheromones, transform entirely into the animal and understanding the animal through the force.

===Arcona===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Carc-logo.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Arcona]]
[[Clan Arcona]] is one of two remaining Dark Jedi Clans within the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi. It currently has two constituent Houses: [[House Qel-Droma]] and [[House Galeres|Galeres]]. A third house, [[House Oriens Obscurum]], has also been active in Arcona's past. For a brief time in 34ABY, the clan was reorganized into a house, before reforming into a clan towards the start of 35ABY.

===Training Schemes===

Acrona specialized in a group called the Light Infantry. They were a unit that were quintessential scouts with all military units, their ranks are filled from the members of the Warrior caste and differ from the Skirmishing Infantry in that they do not utilize armor and are expected to have much more mobility as a direct result.

Mobility is key in warfare, and this is the reason for this schemes inclusion into the holocron. The Arconan Consul believed that the Dark Jedi were often lethargic when in combat. Improving reflexes and speed of march could make the difference in any battle.

====Clan Force Powers – Shadowcrafting====

Shadowcrafting was Acrona’s special force power. This had four tiers and ten levels. Tier one consisted of levels one through three and were Slave Silhouette, Shadow Construct and Dark Sight. These were the basic Skills that one had control over one’s shadow, and heightened perception in darkness. Tier two were levels four through nine that were Cloak of Shadow, The Dark Forge, Oubliette, Touch of Darkness, Dark Matter, and Become the Shadow, these were considered the path to the outer darkness and helped one’s control of shadow and darkness in interacting with the physical world. Tier three was the Inner Darkness that was also levels four through nine but a different path to take within the power tier, they were Sense of Shadows, Shades of the Past, The Shaded Mind, Dark Soul, The Black Chamber and Extinquish the light, and this helped one’s control of shadow and darkness as abstracts along the mental/psychic plane. The last Tier was Shadow Master and was level ten, which was called Darkest night and helped one’s pinnacle of Shadowcrafting.

===Tarentum===

====Basic Information ====
[[image:Tar-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Tarentum]]
As with the other Houses now in existence, [[Clan Tarentum]] began as one of many Houses that dotted the socio-political landscape of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The last of the "original" Houses to form, Tarentum was formed by the members of the legendary Tau Squadron. When Tarentum became a Clan proper, it originally sired the vassal Houses of [[House Tridens|Tridens]], [[House Gladius|Gladius]] and years later spawned a third House, [[House Cestus|Cestus]]. However, all three of these Houses were closed during the reign of [[Maxamillian von Oberst-Tarentae]] and two new Houses were created after two heroes of Tarentum: Kaerner and [[Reinthaler]].

====Training Schemes====

The Draugr is one of the deadliest of risen corpses. Of the corporeal undead, it is the one that requires the body and corrupted soul of a Force User. How strong the Force User was in life matters little. What does matter is the strength of will of the Necromancers used to craft and raise this hellish warrior. Possessing super-Human speed, strength and agility, the Draugr is a near juggernaut on the battlefield. And they learn. While newly risen Draugr are terrors, given time and training, they can become elite warriors, serving their creator as nearly unstoppable weapons.

The Draugr are corpses, and so their creators must take care to ensure that they do not give themselves away. Normally swathed head to toe in heavy robes or the skintight bodysuits that thieves favor, usually only their eyes are visible. And these eyes tend to give them away, as they never blink – starting out red and bloodshot, and finally becoming a jaundiced yellow. Draugr do not normally speak, but will answer questions from their creator in a direct fashion. Normally this is not necessary, as their Creator can communicate telepathically with the Draugr.

Though most Dark Jedi tend to refrain for dabbling in the necromantic arts, the training is available to those who are interested to use them in combat.

====Clan Force Powers – Necromancy====

Necromancy was the dark and mysterious art practiced exclusively by [[Clan Tarentum]]. While the art involved several core Force powers under different names, the term "necromancy" was used to classify the ritualistic and ceremonial practices that the clan partook in. It also symbolized Tarentum's alliance with the strange entities known as the Keepers, who had been able to strengthen the Force powers of the Tarenti so that they may better commune with both the dead and the living.

===Taldryan===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Elementalism taldryan.png|thumb|right|100px|Taldryan]]
[[Taldryan]] is currently the First House of the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi, though previously it was fully fledged Clan. The Clan was initially founded from Independent [[House Ektrosis]], at which point [[House Archanis]] and [[House Dinaari]] joined with them to complete the structure of what would be the most dominant Clan in the Brotherhood's history. Today that record still holds true with the House continuing to push for an even more successful future. With the downsizing from Clan to House, Taldryan has two Battle Teams: [[Old Folks' Home]] and [[Phoenix Phyle]].

====Training Schemes====

The "Consul's Fist" was the step up from the Consul's Honor Guard. One member from the ranks of the Cohors Praetoria Taldryae served for a term of 3 months. During this time he or she would serve as an extension of the Consul's will across the Brotherhood. Rarely exercising his power directly, the Fist would more often use subterfuge and back-channels to deal with the Consul's problems. However when it was necessary he could unleash his deadly potential in the name of Taldryan. Much as former guard members never completely lost their title, former Fist's would always remain in the Consul's service in some manner. Following the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion Consul Duga Taldrya Arkarso dissolved the guard and the Consul's Fist while announcing a new elite unit to come.

Intelligence gathering and subterfuge should always be a tool in the arsenal of any Dark Jedi. At the time of this portion of information's inclusion, the Dark Jedi in the Dark Brotherhood had become lax and unconcerned with the movements and changes of their enemies.

====Clan Force Powers – Elementalism====

Elementalism was divided into three tiers. The first one had levels one through three, they were Vortex, Fissure, and Water Manipulation. These focused on the basics of the power allowed them to manipulate the currents of the aire, fissures in the earth and controlling where and how a body gathered water. Tier two consisted of levels four through seven which were Barrier, Combustion, Lightning Shield and Cryokinesis. These focused more on the defense with using the earth as a shield, increasing body temperature of any object, electrical energy protection as well as decreasing the temperature of moisture in the air. Tier four were levels eight through twelve, they were Pyrokinesis, Levitation, Kinetic Charge, Elemental Empathy and Elemental Transference. These experienced levels focused on altering the basic elements for fire for offense and defense, wind to levitate, electricity for offense and the last ability to transfer the essence of any element into themselves for their properties.

===Naga Sadow===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Cns-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Naga Sadow]]
[[Clan Naga Sadow]] is the body of Sons, Daughters and Disciples who serve [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]], the heir of the Sadow dynasty and Overlord of the Clan. The House was reformulated in 33 ABY, formed out of the union of the cults of [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the Sadow dynasty reaffirmed its singular rule. It operates under the cover of the Dlarit Corporation. In recent years the House's followers have also adopted the teachings of [[starwars:Urias Orian|Urias Orian]] in addition to those of its three originating cults of disciples.

====Training Schemes====

The [[Dlarit Army]] is the main security and law enforcement division of the [[Dlarit Security Force]]. The Dlarit Army is overseen by the chief of staff, who holds the rank of general and reports to the adjutant general of the DSF. The army is organised into two main branches: the police force and the naval marines. The police provide day to day law enforcement and security for the main mining colonies throughout the [[Orian system]]. There are about fifteen thousand uniformed officers on the streets and in the mines. The marines provide support for the Dlarit Navy, including security for the main space stations above [[Tarthos]].

Enforcement of the Dark Brotherhood Law is one of the tenants of a Clan in the Dark Brotherhood. One of the major reasons behind the Great Jedi Wars of the past were because one Clan broke a tenant or a law and had to be punished in some way. It was the hope of the Consul of Naga Sadow that this self-destructive circle could end in the future.

====Clan Force Powers – Telekinetics====

This was a technique that was specific for Naga Shadow, it had three tiers and twelve levels. The basics were levels one through three and focused on Force Push, Force Barrier, and Telekinetic Grip. These focused on the easy parts to become a gateway towards more powerful techniques. The second tier were levels four through seven that were Projected Fighting, Kinetic Combat, Force Flight and Kinetic Might. These were focused on combat specific techniques in order to help the user gain power of their opponent. The third tier was levels eight to twelve. They were Force Wave, Telekinetic Crush, Force Whrilwind, Kinetic Storm, and Manipulation. This is what the creators themselves were made of and it is with the power of the Inner Order that one can move the stars and shape the galaxy itself.

===Alvaak===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Alvaak-logo.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Alvaak]]
[[Clan Alvaak]] was a clan formed within the Brotherhood when they were operating with the Emperor's Hammer. Formed by Ronin, leader of the Emperor's Hammer, the clan was comprised of houses Tarentum and Satal Keto before they grew to become their own clans. The Clan did not join the rest of the Brotherhood when they left the Emperor's Hammer in what would later be termed the Exodus. Here is some information that the Emperor's Hammer had about Clan Alvaak.

====Clan Force Powers – Mind Control====

Because Clan Alvaak was lost to the generations for some time, the Dark Council Scholars believe that the Mind Control that was unique to this clan, they could not uncover their secrets after Clan Alvaak disappeared. Though it is suspected that the secrets to the clan’s Mind Control abilities are hidden and yet to be found, all that we know is that it is speculated to completely control the enemy against their will.

===Satal Keto===

====Basic Information====

Named after the Krath Lord [[Starwars:Satal Keto|Satal Keto]], Clan Satal Keto was once one of seven clans in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood until it was merged with Clan Exar Kun to form Clan Plagueis. It was subsequently divided into houses [[House Aleema|Aleema]], [[House Kirleta|Kirleta]], and [[House Galthain|Galthain]]. Though their remaining strength constantly ebbed. After one particular war, the Clan was irrevocably weakened. It was then that the Crimson Tide, having been hired by an unknown individual, attacked Clan Satal Keto. The two factions battled for four brutal days. Just as the Crimson Tide was beginning to gain the upper hand, [[Consul]] Selket requested aide from Keto's sister Clan, [[Clan Exar Kun]].

====Training Schemes: ====

[[Clan Satal Keto]] based most of their operations on their founders principles. There were no units or military organizations, but each person was in charge of their own protection for their leaders based on his ideals of self preservation and survival of the fittest. If anyone was not strong enough to protect themselves, then they therefore could not protect others in their Clan. Because Satal Keto excelled in space combat, so did the clan. It was a requirement to be part of the Clan, to have extra ordinary piloting skills.

====Clan Force Powers – Dominance====
[[image:Cp-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Plagueis]]
Because Satal Keto became [[Plagueis]], their force power remained Dominance. This technique focused on Mind Control and Illusion, there were three tiers and twelve levels. Tier one were levels one through three and were composed of Bastion of the Dark Might, Empathic Imprint and Cognitive Prescience. The first three helped affect Force effects by twisting emotions and projecting/receiving with their ability to read thoughts. Tier two were levels four through eight, they were Compulsion, Confusion, Psychic Rendering and Voice of the Dark Master. These were the middle ground, enhancing the mind tricks with implanting, confusing, stunning, brainwashing and compiling their presence to their most effective means. The third and final tier were levels nine through twelve which were Weirdling, Dominate, Mind Lance, Dark Regalia and Gift of Plagueis. The final levels were meant to pro-long his life span by manipulating the midicholrians within his own body. This power is one of such a Dark Nature that the toll it takes is sometimes said to be a sign of a user unworthy the benefits of a prolonged life.

Born of a culture thousands of years old, the group Ordo's Mercenaries is a loosely affiliated group of warriors, the majority of whom are derived from [[starwars:Clan Ordo|Clan Ordo]]. They use tactics and martial ability to defeat their enemies, and those of whom pays them the most, and are quite capable at hit-and-run attacks.

==History==
[[File:Mando3.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Mandalorians at war]]

The [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorians]] are a group of warriors that seemingly thrived on warfare. Their culture placed a high value on honor and the preservation of their beliefs and way of life.

===Formation===
{{Quote|I think I need something more than killing and fighting in my life. I need a purpose or something like that.|Canderous Ordo, later known as [[starwars:Mandalore the Preserver|Mandalore the Preserver]]}}

Following the defeat of the Mandalorians in 3960 BBY, at the conclusion of the Mandalorian Wars, the surviving members of the various clans scattered throughout space. It wasn’t until around 3955-3953 BBY that one Mandalorian named Canderous Ordo sought to rebuild and reunite the scattered clans once again, solidifying the power of the Mandalorian people. One of these surviving clans was Clan Ordo.

[[File:Canderous.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Canderous Ordo]]
===The Dark Wars===
{{Quote|...if you betray us, I'll kill you. If your weakness causes one of my people to get hurt, I'll kill you. If you slow us down, I'll kill you. Is that clear?|Veela Ordo, to [[starwars:Revan|Revan]]}}

Taking place during roughly 3,955-3,951 BBY, the Dark Wars was a period within which there was much conflict. Of particular note were the [[starwars:First Jedi Purge|First Jedi Purge]] and the [[starwars:Sith Civil War|Sith Civil War]].

The First Jedi Purge and the Sith Civil War took place at roughly the same time (3,954-3,951 BBY and 3,956-3,950 BBY, respectively). During the First Jedi, the Sith Triumvirate, consisting of [[starwars:Darth Traya|Darth Traya[[, [[starwars:Darth Sion|Darth Sion]], and [[starwars:Darth Nihilus|Darth Nihilus]], began to consolidate their power with the surviving members of Revan’s forces of the Sith Empire. After they had accomplished this, they then began to hunt down and exterminate the Jedi that were scattered throughout the galaxy.

The Sith Civil War was a period of infighting between the consolidated forces of the Sith Lords, which now consisted of Sion and Nihilus after they exiled Traya. The aftermath of both the First Jedi Purge and the Sith Civil War saw the destruction of the Sith Triumvirate, the downfall of the Sith Empire, and the ranks of the Jedi nearly being wiped out.

===Into the Shadows===
{{Quote|I mourn our fallen brethren, as I know you all do. However, now is not the time for more conflict; we should gather our people and rebuild our strength. We will be back, but only when the time is ripe.| Unknown Mandalorian leader}}

In the years since the Dark War, Clan Ordo has tried to stay more to the shadows, slowly building up and consolidating their power. It is unclear as to why this was being done, but there have been many theories regarding this matter. Some people have speculated that perhaps they have been gearing up for something big in the future, even if Clan Ordo does not yet know what that event may be.

More recently, Clan Ordo has become a mercenary group, selling their services to the highest bidder. This line of work has served the Mandalorians well in the past and this time is certainly no exception. With a culture that places honor in such high regard and one that seems to thrive on conflict, it seems like the mercenary way of life fits these people perfectly.

[[File:Mando5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Coming to the aid of Odan-Urr]]
===Assisting the Light===
{{Quote|It is time...time that we emerge from the shadows which have concealed our presence and show the galaxy that the Mandalorians still exist! Time to show them that we are back in full force, and that we will not be forgotten!|Marex Holidan}}

Their long period of silence ended abruptly in 35 ABY when the Dark Jedi Brotherhood broke out in war once again. The Houses and Clans of the Brotherhood all rallied together against one of their own, House Odan-Urr – the House which follows the Light Side of the Force. Having limited defenses of their own, the leaders of Odan-Urr, along with Brotherhood exile and fellow Jedi Michael Halcyon, hired the Mandalorians of Clan Ordo to come to their aid in standing against the combined forces of the Brotherhood.

==Weapons and Armor==
[[File:Mando2.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Mandalorian warrior in full gear]]
Mandalorians are known to carry weapons that are customized to their specific skill sets. Each warrior is different, thus they carry different weapons. That being said, the Mandalorian fighters share some common equipment. Most notably, Mandalorians wear the same style of armor.

This easily recognizable armor is often made from the legendary metal [[Starwars:Mandalorian Iron|Beskar]]. Commonly known as Mandalorian Iron, this metal can deflect blaster bolts and is resistant to [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] strikes. This nearly indestructible metal adds to the deadliness of the Mandalorians.

Beyond its strength, [[starwars:Mandalorian Armor | Mandalorian Armor]] is known for its color schemes. Like their weaponry, each warrior’s armor is uniquely painted for the individual. Colors often represent the warrior’s state of mind. Gold, for example, represents vengeance. Green represents duty. Green and blue are two common colors for Mandalorians to wear. Individual markings on the armor represent the Mandalorian’s clan, as well as personal triumphs.

A Mandalorian’s Helmet is full of state of the art equipment. Easily identified by its iconic T-shaped visor, a Mandalorian helmet made them extremely effective killers. Broadband antennae are used to intercept and transmit messages. The state of the art heads up display provides a Mandalorian the ability to record and play back video, a 360 degree view, target tracking, and a range of other abilities. These functions are controlled by eye movements monitored by a complex

In addition to their Armor, almost every Mando uses a jetpack. The [[starwars:Z-6 jetpack | Z-6 jet pack]] provides the warriors with the ability to launch aerial assaults. Containing enough fuel for three 20 second bursts (or 1 minute of sustained flight), the jetpacks were often modified to contain a rocket launcher. Rockets could be replaced with grappling hooks, anti-personnel weaponry, and anti-vehicle devices.

As previously stated, every Mandalorian chooses their weapons in accordance with their skills. That being said, there were often some common weapons used among them. Mandalorians prided themselves on being heavily armed with a wide array of weaponry. Pistols, blaster rifles, missile launchers, and wrist lasers were common among all Mandalorian fighters. Wrist mounted [[starwars:MM9 rocket system|rocket launcher]], flame throwers, lasers, and vibroblades were common among warriors.

The Tenloss [[starwars:DX-6 disruptor|DX-6 disruptor]] was a commonly used weapon.

Additionally, many Mandalorians favored the [[starwars:EE-3 carbine blaster|EE-3 carbine blaster]]. This weapon provided unmatched power and accuracy. The weapon was short barreled and could be easily shouldered. Warriors would often outfit their weapon with a scope, providing them the ability to strike at distance.

Many Mandalorians carried several side-arms. A favorite among them was the [[starwars:Westar-34|Westar-34]] blaster pistol. These weapons were often custom made for individuals. The Westar-34 was known for having a powerful shot.

[[starwars:Concussion Grenade|Concussion Grenade]] launchers are another favorite piece of the Mandalorian arsenal.

Mandalorians were known to use the [[starwars:Wing-Blast Rocket Pack|Wing-Blast Rocket Pack]]. Unlike their jetpacks, the Rocket Packs were heavily armed single person weapons platforms capable of sustained atmospheric and deep space flight. Armed with heavy blaster cannons, missile launchers, and a full sized [[starwars:proton torpedo|Proton Torpedo]] launcher. These rocket packs were able to cause massive amounts of damage on their targets.

===''Dreadnaught''-Class Heavy Cruiser ''Darasuum''===
[[File:DREAD.jpg|thumb|Left|200px|The ''Darasuum'']]

Nearly twice the age of those who serve on it, the [[starwars:Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser|''Dreadnaught''-class heavy cruiser]] ''Darasuum'' has gradually become the lead command ship for Ordo's Mercenaries by way of simple survival and longevity. Battered durasteel welded on top of more battered durasteel make the ''Darasuum'' not only slow but quite ugly to look at. Nevertheless, a combination of nostalgia and unquestionable dependability cast a different light on how the Mercenaries view the aged ship. Many who are not deployed upon it wish they were, and few who are wish they were not.

Beyond providing a headquarters for naval command, the ''Darasuum'' also serves as a heavy hitter in ship-to-ship confrontations. The ship's armaments have gone through several overhauls, the current configuration being 15 Heavy Turbolasers, 15 Turbolasers, 10 Quad laser cannons, and a pair of Concussion Missile Launchers. Another modification, though common, was that of extensive upgrades to the ship's control systems, getting rid of the need for massive amount of crew members. Lastly, the ''Darasuum'' is also home to the ''Gra'tuar'', a squadron of [[starwars:StarViper-class attack platform|''StarViper''-class Fighters]] piloted by only the most gifted starfighter pilots in Ordo's Mercenaries.

===''Dreadnaught''-Class Heavy Cruiser ''Parjai''===

Originally purchased in a failed attempt to replace the ''Darasuum'', the ''Parjai'' is also a [[starwars:Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser|''Dreadnaught''-class heavy cruiser]] manufactured at the tail end of the Dreadnaught's prime. An impressive list of upgrades and technological advancements, however, could not prevail against the Ordo Mercenaries' love for the ''Darasuum''. Nonetheless, the ''Parjai'' has served admirably as a very capable sister ship, its advanced sensor packaging and more nimble maneuverability helping to offset some of the ''Darasuum'''s weaknesses.

The upgraded Dreadnaught's original armaments have thus far been left unchanged, leaving it with 20 Light quad turbolaser cannons, 15 Turbolaser batteries, and 15 Turbolaser cannons. The ''Parjai'' has, however, foregone any upgrades in terms of starfighter storage. Such space has alternatively been used to house various landing craft and armored transports.

===Task Force Ara'novor===
[[File:STRKC.jpg|thumb|left|150px|One of two ''Strike''-class Medium Cruisers in Task Force Ara'novor]]

Task Force Ara'novor is composed of the Fleet's sole [[starwars:Keldabe-class battleship|''Keldabe''-class battleship]] and a pair of [[starwars:Strike-class medium cruiser|''Strike''-class medium cruisers]]. While the two Dreadnaughts provide the bulk of the firepower, Task Force Ara'novor's purpose is often to spearhead ship-to-ship engagements, using their greater maneuverability in flanking and pincer movements to out position enemy forces. The ''Keldabe''-class battleship, although having few batteries, is outfitted with 3 squadrons of [[starwars:BTL Y-wing starfighter|Y-wing Bombers]], affording it the ability to pound the opposition with large payloads of various bombs and missiles. Alternatively, the Striker Cruisers only house a single squad of [[starwars:E-wing escort starfighter|E-wing starfighters]] a piece, relying on their Turbolaser batteries to deal out the bulk of their damage while saving space for supplies and ground-based vessels.

===Task Force Chekar===
[[File:Crusader_corvette.jpg|thumb|right|200px|One of Three ''Crusader''-Class Corvettes in Task Force Chekar]]

A triplet of [[starwars:Crusader-class corvette|''Crusader''-Class Corvettes]] combined with a second triplet of [[starwars:Gallofree Yards, Inc.|Gallofree]] [[starwars:GR-75 medium transport|GR-75 medium transports]] makes up the Fleet's second Task Force, named Chekar. Packed tightly with as many warriors, weapons, and foodstuffs as possible, Task Force Chekar is primarily utilized for dynamic ground assaults. This isn't to say, however, that Chekar serves no purpose in space combat. While lacking much in the way of ship-to-ship weaponry, Task Force Chekar is also used to ward off smaller craft such as fighters and light freighters.

===The Shabla Kote===

Even though a full wing of fighters are permanently housed in the Fleet's various ships, an ever changing number of starfighters make up a secondary "wing," called the Shabla Kote. Lacking in the rigid, military uniformity of the more permanent wing, the Shabla Kote are a mish mosh of any and all starfighter designs, from the worst bastardized [[starwars:Ugly|ugly]] designs to even a couple of [[starwars:TIE/D Defender|Tie Defenders]]. The Shabla Kote's pilots, too, are a reflection of their own ships, ranging from the most disciplined of warriors to the most vile of fools. Nevertheless, this wing of starfighters tend to get results, though a debate rages amongst the Mercenaries whether it's due to tenacity or insanity.

The sole prerequisite for membership in the Shabla Kote is that the pilot's ship must have a functional [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]], as none of the carrier ships will have them. As of the most recent count, the Shabla Kote has 52 starfighters.

==War Beasts==
{{Quote|Respect the Great Beasts of War. Honor them. Fear them.|Merc Leader Marex Holidan}}

The mercenaries have brought with them a variety of beasts of war to assist in the defense of [[New Tython]] as well as to help in the offense.

===Zakkegs===
[[File:Zakkeg.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Zakkegs]]
{{Quote|Jedi cannot stop them. Often times, neither can we|Baniss A'kazz, Beastmaster}}

[[Starwars:Zakkeg|Zakkegs]] are excellent pack animals, or animals that will carry supplies/weaponry or a few troops in/out. Zakkegs are immune to most Force powers. They are tough and covered in spikes and horns and make an excellent transport animal. Originally coming from Dxun, the Zakkegs prove a difficult beast to kill as by design they have natural armor. Zakkegs are like a living transport.

Zakilla is the favorite Zakkeg of the group, he's strong, sure footed and seen many a battle. Many Forces users have tried to cause harm, confusion or fear in Zakilla, no to avail. He's usually the first in and last out of the animals and doesn't get spooked or seem to be affected by the pressures of war.

{{Quote|They feel the power of the dark side within you|[[Starwars:Darth Bane|Darth Bane]] explains the orbalisks reaction to [[Starwars:Zannah|Zannah's]] touch.}}

Against the strong Force users that might be keeping to the shadows, or fighting from the darkness; the [[Starwars:Orbalisk|Orbalisks]] have been brought in. Orbalisks are barnacle-like creatures, native to the Beast Moon of [[Starwars:Dxun|Dxun]]. They feed off of Dark Side Energy pumping chemicals into the blood that increase rage, anger, and fury. Once they are killed, the Orbalisks kill the 'host' by putting toxins into the victim, a simple shot to an Orbalisk would be enough for the venom to be released.

Orbaslisks are on an essential suicide mission, and while their service is appreciated; no one gets so close to these creatures as to name them. They will often be given a series of letters and numbers for identification purposes, but nothing more personal than that.

===Maalrass===
[[File:Maalrass.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Maalrass]]
{{Quote|Release the Maalrass!|Merc Leader Marex Holidan ordering the Maalrass to war}}

[[Starwars:Maalrass|Maalrass]] are small feline-like predators that come from the forst moon of Dxun; They have large fangs that come out of their round heads. Hunting in packs, they may be a relative to the nighthunters. The Maalrass can be used for tracking as well as going out in a pack to eliminate a variety of enemies as the Mercenaries would 'release the Maalraas'.'

Furrotio is the favorite, almost the mascot of the Maalraas. Furrotio is the undisputed Alpha male of the pack. He's been the leader of the group for a few years and none of the other Maalrass have been suitable to even consider challenging him for the title. Furrotio's relationship with the commander/handler is so close, it's believed they communicate telepathically, but there's been no confirmation of this.

Furrotio is practially the stuff of legends, he stands 1.5 meters high while on all fours and nearly 2.5 meters on his hind legs, With brown and green scales, he has natural camoflauge. He is a strong ferocious beast when on duty. Rumor has it that in his down time that Furrotio likes chewing on nerf rib bones and sitting by the fire.

==Planet==
[[File:OrdoPlanet.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Landscape of planet Ordo]]

=== Planet Ordo ===
Ordo was the original homeworld of the Mandalorian Clan Ordo.

==== Description ====

Ordo was mostly a desert world nearly completely barren. The limited vegetation that grew on this world was primarily on the equator. There were also limited water recources on this planet because of the harsh desert world. It was murky and filled with sand that the only way to drink the water was to purify it. Sand dunes covered most of the world with extremely scattered oasis. Very few people inhabited this planet, save for some very dangerous creatures that roamed the planet.

==== History ====

The history of the planet Ordo is a muddled mess. Because of the harsh environment, there were countless battles and wars over the limited vegetation. Because the equator was virtually the only area that was inhabitable, the few species that lived or immigrated to Ordo fought over those area's desperately. In the end, the Mandalorian's conquered the native species to build their own settlements up.

==== Inhabitants ====

Species that live on planet Ordo have all immigrated there. Most people avoid this planet, especially after the Mandalorian's took over and made it their base.

=== Former Base Dxun ===
[[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]], or more commonly called the Demon Moon, was the largest moon around the Planet [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]]. It was covered in primarily a large jungle that was inhabited by various species that one would not want to come across.

==== Description ====

This planet had constant rain downpour, making the planet have a usualy wet climate. Despite these climate issues, the temperature was decent and Dxun was quite habitable when one looked at its terrain. There were however, many deadly creatures that lived in the humongous jungle, such as bomas, cannoks, drexls, maalraas, skreevs and zakkegs. Because of these creatures, the inhabitants were forced to always be armed for defense.

==== History ====

After the Beast Wars, the body of Freedon Nadd, a former Dark Lord of the Sith was moved to the moon of Dxun to keep other Sith from using its power that ended well except for Exar Kun and Darth Bane. There was then the Mandalorian Wars in which the Mandalorian?s took control over the moon when Mandalore the Ultimate took leadership of the Mandalorians. This war was brutal, killing thousands in which after the battle, the Rebublic left the Mandalorian structers, as well as not being able to find the many hidden store rooms full of weapons that were supposedly put there by the Mandalorians.

==== Inhabitants ====

Mostly a very few Mando's live here on the base, the rest of the inhabitants of this moon are lone survivalist that have immigrated here for solitude that do not mind the occasional threat of a creature attempting to kill you. These are usually hardened war heroes or criminals that can fend for themselves. The Mando's do not usually see these people as threats.

=== Garrison ===

The Mandalorian Mercenaries were hired by Michael Halcyon from the Clan Ordo, therefore, their base of operations is a series of large structures built up together to form a weak fortress. The smaller structures housing useless supplies around the outer rim, while the bigger structures and more valuable necessities and supplies towards the center. The entire camp was roughly 2km in radius, square around the main tent in the center.

==== Layout ====

The layout of the camp was set as a clock face. This was built on the equator of the planet for optimal weather. There are four sections, Zeta, Gamma, Omega, and Sigma. Each section had a designated area of expertise, with the center of all three the area specified as the War Room and base of operations. Around the area was a shield generator, therefore protecting the Manalorian's from aerial assault.

===== Zeta =====

This section was designated as the rim around the other three sections. These were the structures that housed some four shield generators to protect the camp. Without these, the Mandalorian's would be easy prey for a simple bomb raid. The outer rim of structures created a boundary for their camp to and from the outside world.

===== Gamma Sector =====

This was the area that was specifically designated for the daily necessities of the troops. This had three sub sections. This housed sections from one o'clock to four o'clock. <br>

* Section 1, One o'clock was the Bunker section. This was a medium sized tent that housed the cots and sleeping area for the Mando's. There were also designated areas for facilities.<br>
* Section 2, Two o'clock was the Mess Hall. It was right next to the Bunks. <br>
* Section 3, Three o'clock was the offices were housed for small planning, not nearly as large as the War Room tent. Specific things were discussed here that were not for the Jedi's ears.<br>
* Section 4, Four o'clock was area where Quarter Master Office where the bulk of weapons (non personal) were stored with extra ammunition. This was where the backup generator was held to keep the shield up for a few minutes in case the main square was destroyed.

===== Omega Sector =====

Next to the Quarter Master Bunker was stationed, was the designated area for the Firing Range. To keep from any accidents, this area was fairly large.<br>
* Section 5, Five o'clock to Nine o'clock was the large area in order to test weapons, fix them, practice and in general test them out. The large area was big enough so that nothing was close enough or accidents to occur.

===== Sigma Sector =====

This was the last section that was designated for the medic tent and supply store. <br>
* Section 6, ten o'clock to 12 o'clock was the area that housed supplies for everything needed other than weapon supplies. The Medical tent was also here for necessity, because no matter how good you are, injuries occur.

===== Delta Sector =====

This sector was completely separate from the rest and not set in the square. This was the biggest section on the planet because it housed shops, armory stores; cantina's and most importantly, farms. <br>

* Section 7, this was a new square that was .6km away from the settlement that housed the entertainment section as well as food production for animals and crops. The stores varied between restaurants, cantinas, armor/weapons specialty and living upgrades. The farms took up two thirds of the entire area because the settlement needed to be self sustaining, the Mandalorian's do not want their location known by many, therefore, they cannot import food and other necessities for daily life. With these farms, crops were grown for vegetables, grains as well as animals for protein. In this sector, there is also a water purifying plant so that the very few lakes could be available to the troops. This way, there could be no harmful bacteria in it after being cleaned and ready to drink.

Born of a culture thousands of years old, the group Ordo's Mercenaries is a loosely affiliated group of warriors, the majority of whom are derived from [[starwars:Clan Ordo|Clan Ordo]]. They use tactics and martial ability to defeat their enemies, and those of whom pays them the most, and are quite capable at hit-and-run attacks.

==History==
[[File:Mando3.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Mandalorians at war]]

The [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorians]] are a group of warriors that seemingly thrived on warfare. Their culture placed a high value on honor and the preservation of their beliefs and way of life.

===Formation===
{{Quote|I think I need something more than killing and fighting in my life. I need a purpose or something like that.|Canderous Ordo, later known as [[starwars:Mandalore the Preserver|Mandalore the Preserver]]}}

Following the defeat of the Mandalorians in 3960 BBY, at the conclusion of the Mandalorian Wars, the surviving members of the various clans scattered throughout space. It wasn’t until around 3955-3953 BBY that one Mandalorian named Canderous Ordo sought to rebuild and reunite the scattered clans once again, solidifying the power of the Mandalorian people. One of these surviving clans was Clan Ordo.

[[File:Canderous.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Canderous Ordo]]
===The Dark Wars===
{{Quote|...if you betray us, I'll kill you. If your weakness causes one of my people to get hurt, I'll kill you. If you slow us down, I'll kill you. Is that clear?|Veela Ordo, to [[starwars:Revan|Revan]]}}

Taking place during roughly 3,955-3,951 BBY, the Dark Wars was a period within which there was much conflict. Of particular note were the [[starwars:First Jedi Purge|First Jedi Purge]] and the [[starwars:Sith Civil War|Sith Civil War]].

The First Jedi Purge and the Sith Civil War took place at roughly the same time (3,954-3,951 BBY and 3,956-3,950 BBY, respectively). During the First Jedi, the Sith Triumvirate, consisting of [[starwars:Darth Traya|Darth Traya[[, [[starwars:Darth Sion|Darth Sion]], and [[starwars:Darth Nihilus|Darth Nihilus]], began to consolidate their power with the surviving members of Revan’s forces of the Sith Empire. After they had accomplished this, they then began to hunt down and exterminate the Jedi that were scattered throughout the galaxy.

The Sith Civil War was a period of infighting between the consolidated forces of the Sith Lords, which now consisted of Sion and Nihilus after they exiled Traya. The aftermath of both the First Jedi Purge and the Sith Civil War saw the destruction of the Sith Triumvirate, the downfall of the Sith Empire, and the ranks of the Jedi nearly being wiped out.

===Into the Shadows===
{{Quote|I mourn our fallen brethren, as I know you all do. However, now is not the time for more conflict; we should gather our people and rebuild our strength. We will be back, but only when the time is ripe.| Unknown Mandalorian leader}}

In the years since the Dark War, Clan Ordo has tried to stay more to the shadows, slowly building up and consolidating their power. It is unclear as to why this was being done, but there have been many theories regarding this matter. Some people have speculated that perhaps they have been gearing up for something big in the future, even if Clan Ordo does not yet know what that event may be.

More recently, Clan Ordo has become a mercenary group, selling their services to the highest bidder. This line of work has served the Mandalorians well in the past and this time is certainly no exception. With a culture that places honor in such high regard and one that seems to thrive on conflict, it seems like the mercenary way of life fits these people perfectly.

[[File:Mando5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Coming to the aid of Odan-Urr]]
===Assisting the Light===
{{Quote|It is time...time that we emerge from the shadows which have concealed our presence and show the galaxy that the Mandalorians still exist! Time to show them that we are back in full force, and that we will not be forgotten!|Marex Holidan}}

Their long period of silence ended abruptly in 35 ABY when the Dark Jedi Brotherhood broke out in war once again. The Houses and Clans of the Brotherhood all rallied together against one of their own, House Odan-Urr – the House which follows the Light Side of the Force. Having limited defenses of their own, the leaders of Odan-Urr, along with Brotherhood exile and fellow Jedi Michael Halcyon, hired the Mandalorians of Clan Ordo to come to their aid in standing against the combined forces of the Brotherhood.

==Weapons and Armor==
[[File:Mando2.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Mandalorian warrior in full gear]]
Mandalorians are known to carry weapons that are customized to their specific skill sets. Each warrior is different, thus they carry different weapons. That being said, the Mandalorian fighters share some common equipment. Most notably, Mandalorians wear the same style of armor.

This easily recognizable armor is often made from the legendary metal [[Starwars:Mandalorian Iron|Beskar]]. Commonly known as Mandalorian Iron, this metal can deflect blaster bolts and is resistant to [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] strikes. This nearly indestructible metal adds to the deadliness of the Mandalorians.

Beyond its strength, [[starwars:Mandalorian Armor | Mandalorian Armor]] is known for its color schemes. Like their weaponry, each warrior’s armor is uniquely painted for the individual. Colors often represent the warrior’s state of mind. Gold, for example, represents vengeance. Green represents duty. Green and blue are two common colors for Mandalorians to wear. Individual markings on the armor represent the Mandalorian’s clan, as well as personal triumphs.

A Mandalorian’s Helmet is full of state of the art equipment. Easily identified by its iconic T-shaped visor, a Mandalorian helmet made them extremely effective killers. Broadband antennae are used to intercept and transmit messages. The state of the art heads up display provides a Mandalorian the ability to record and play back video, a 360 degree view, target tracking, and a range of other abilities. These functions are controlled by eye movements monitored by a complex

In addition to their Armor, almost every Mando uses a jetpack. The [[starwars:Z-6 jetpack | Z-6 jet pack]] provides the warriors with the ability to launch aerial assaults. Containing enough fuel for three 20 second bursts (or 1 minute of sustained flight), the jetpacks were often modified to contain a rocket launcher. Rockets could be replaced with grappling hooks, anti-personnel weaponry, and anti-vehicle devices.

As previously stated, every Mandalorian chooses their weapons in accordance with their skills. That being said, there were often some common weapons used among them. Mandalorians prided themselves on being heavily armed with a wide array of weaponry. Pistols, blaster rifles, missile launchers, and wrist lasers were common among all Mandalorian fighters. Wrist mounted [[starwars:MM9 rocket system|rocket launcher]], flame throwers, lasers, and vibroblades were common among warriors.

The Tenloss [[starwars:DX-6 disruptor|DX-6 disruptor]] was a commonly used weapon.

Additionally, many Mandalorians favored the [[starwars:EE-3 carbine blaster|EE-3 carbine blaster]]. This weapon provided unmatched power and accuracy. The weapon was short barreled and could be easily shouldered. Warriors would often outfit their weapon with a scope, providing them the ability to strike at distance.

Many Mandalorians carried several side-arms. A favorite among them was the [[starwars:Westar-34|Westar-34]] blaster pistol. These weapons were often custom made for individuals. The Westar-34 was known for having a powerful shot.

[[starwars:Concussion Grenade|Concussion Grenade]] launchers are another favorite piece of the Mandalorian arsenal.

Mandalorians were known to use the [[starwars:Wing-Blast Rocket Pack|Wing-Blast Rocket Pack]]. Unlike their jetpacks, the Rocket Packs were heavily armed single person weapons platforms capable of sustained atmospheric and deep space flight. Armed with heavy blaster cannons, missile launchers, and a full sized [[starwars:proton torpedo|Proton Torpedo]] launcher. These rocket packs were able to cause massive amounts of damage on their targets.

==Fleet==

===''Dreadnaught''-Class Heavy Cruiser ''Darasuum''===
[[File:DREAD.jpg|thumb|Left|200px|The ''Darasuum'']]

Nearly twice the age of those who serve on it, the [[starwars:Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser|''Dreadnaught''-class heavy cruiser]] ''Darasuum'' has gradually become the lead command ship for Ordo's Mercenaries by way of simple survival and longevity. Battered durasteel welded on top of more battered durasteel make the ''Darasuum'' not only slow but quite ugly to look at. Nevertheless, a combination of nostalgia and unquestionable dependability cast a different light on how Ordo's Mercenaries view the aged ship. Many who are not deployed upon it wish they were, and few who are wish they were not.

Beyond providing a headquarters for naval command, the ''Darasuum'' also serves as a heavy hitter in ship-to-ship confrontations. The ship's armaments have gone through several overhauls, the current configuration being 15 Heavy Turbolasers, 15 Turbolasers, 10 Quad laser cannons, and a pair of Concussion Missile Launchers. Another modification, though common, was that of extensive upgrades to the ship's control systems, getting rid of the need for massive amount of crew members. Lastly, the ''Darasuum'' is also home to the ''Gra'tuar'', a squadron of [[starwars:StarViper-class attack platform|''StarViper''-class Fighters]] piloted by only the most gifted starfighter pilots in Ordo's Mercenaries.

===''Dreadnaught''-Class Heavy Cruiser ''Parjai''===

Originally purchased in a failed attempt to replace the ''Darasuum'', the ''Parjai'' is also a [[starwars:Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser|''Dreadnaught''-class heavy cruiser]] manufactured at the tail end of the Dreadnaught's prime. An impressive list of upgrades and technological advancements, however, could not prevail against the Ordo Mercenaries' love for the ''Darasuum''. Nonetheless, the ''Parjai'' has served admirably as a very capable sister ship, its advanced sensor packaging and more nimble maneuverability helping to offset some of the ''Darasuum'''s weaknesses.

The upgraded Dreadnaught's original armaments have thus far been left unchanged, leaving it with 20 Light quad turbolaser cannons, 15 Turbolaser batteries, and 15 Turbolaser cannons. The ''Parjai'' has, however, foregone any upgrades in terms of starfighter storage. Such space has alternatively been used to house various landing craft and armored transports.

===Task Force Ara'novor===
[[File:STRKC.jpg|thumb|left|150px|One of two ''Strike''-class Medium Cruisers in Task Force Ara'novor]]

Task Force Ara'novor is composed of the Fleet's sole [[starwars:Keldabe-class battleship|''Keldabe''-class battleship]] and a pair of [[starwars:Strike-class medium cruiser|''Strike''-class medium cruisers]]. While the two Dreadnaughts provide the bulk of the firepower, Task Force Ara'novor's purpose is often to spearhead ship-to-ship engagements, using their greater maneuverability in flanking and pincer movements to out position enemy forces. The ''Keldabe''-class battleship, although having few batteries, is outfitted with 3 squadrons of [[starwars:BTL Y-wing starfighter|Y-wing Bombers]], affording it the ability to pound the opposition with large payloads of various bombs and missiles. Alternatively, the Striker Cruisers only house a single squad of [[starwars:E-wing escort starfighter|E-wing starfighters]] a piece, relying on their Turbolaser batteries to deal out the bulk of their damage while saving space for supplies and ground-based vessels.

===Task Force Chekar===
[[File:Crusader_corvette.jpg|thumb|right|200px|One of Three ''Crusader''-Class Corvettes in Task Force Chekar]]

A triplet of [[starwars:Crusader-class corvette|''Crusader''-Class Corvettes]] combined with a second triplet of [[starwars:Gallofree Yards, Inc.|Gallofree]] [[starwars:GR-75 medium transport|GR-75 medium transports]] makes up the Fleet's second Task Force, named Chekar. Packed tightly with as many warriors, weapons, and foodstuffs as possible, Task Force Chekar is primarily utilized for dynamic ground assaults. This isn't to say, however, that Chekar serves no purpose in space combat. While lacking much in the way of ship-to-ship weaponry, Task Force Chekar is also used to ward off smaller craft such as fighters and light freighters.

===The Shabla Kote===

Even though a full wing of fighters are permanently housed in the Fleet's various ships, an ever changing number of starfighters make up a secondary "wing," called the Shabla Kote. Lacking in the rigid, military uniformity of the more permanent wing, the Shabla Kote are a mish mosh of any and all starfighter designs, from the worst bastardized [[starwars:Ugly|ugly]] designs to even a couple of [[starwars:TIE/D Defender|Tie Defenders]]. The Shabla Kote's pilots, too, are a reflection of their own ships, ranging from the most disciplined of warriors to the most vile of fools. Nevertheless, this wing of starfighters tend to get results, though a debate rages amongst the Ordo's Mercenaries whether its due to tenacity or insanity.

The sole prerequisite for membership in the Shabla Kote is that the pilot's ship must have a functional [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]], as none of the carrier ships will have them. As of the most recent count, the Shabla Kote has 52 starfighters.

While it was short lived instead of outright killing him, they took him in and trained him in their ways.

'''Personality:''' Lant is overly cocky and laid back. His over confidence in his abilities has led to him never taking combat very serious. This has lead to some issues for the rest of the Mandalorian flight team.

==War Beasts==
{{Quote|Respect the Great Beasts of War. Honor them. Fear them.|Merc Leader Marex Holidan}}

The mercenaries have brought with them a variety of beasts of war to assist in the defense of [[New Tython]] as well as to help in the offense.

===Zakkegs===
[[File:Zakkeg.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Zakkegs]]
{{Quote|Jedi cannot stop them. Often times, neither can we|Baniss A'kazz, Beastmaster}}

[[Starwars:Zakkeg|Zakkegs]] are excellent pack animals, or animals that will carry supplies/weaponry or a few troops in/out. Zakkegs are immune to most Force powers. They are tough and covered in spikes and horns and make an excellent transport animal. Originally coming from Dxun, the Zakkegs prove a difficult beast to kill as by design they have natural armor. Zakkegs are like a living transport.

Zakilla is the favorite Zakkeg of the group, he's strong, sure footed and seen many a battle. Many Forces users have tried to cause harm, confusion or fear in Zakilla, no to avail. He's usually the first in and last out of the animals and doesn't get spooked or seem to be affected by the pressures of war.

===Orbalisks===

{{Quote|They feel the power of the dark side within you|[[Starwars:Darth Bane|Darth Bane]] explains the orbalisks reaction to [[Starwars:Zannah|Zannah's]] touch.}}

Against the strong Force users that might be keeping to the shadows, or fighting from the darkness; the [[Starwars:Orbalisk|Orbalisks]] have been brought in. Orbalisks are barnacle-like creatures, native to the Beast Moon of [[Starwars:Dxun|Dxun]]. They feed off of Dark Side Energy pumping chemicals into the blood that increase rage, anger, and fury. Once they are killed, the Orbalisks kill the 'host' by putting toxins into the victim, a simple shot to an Orbalisk would be enough for the venom to be released.

Orbaslisks are on an essential suicide mission, and while their service is appreciated; no one gets so close to these creatures as to name them. They will often be given a series of letters and numbers for identification purposes, but nothing more personal than that.

===Maalrass===
[[File:Maalrass.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Maalrass]]
{{Quote|Release the Maalrass!|Merc Leader Marex Holidan ordering the Maalrass to war}}

[[Starwars:Maalrass|Maalrass]] are small feline-like predators that come from the forst moon of Dxun; They have large fangs that come out of their round heads. Hunting in packs, they may be a relative to the nighthunters. The Maalrass can be used for tracking as well as going out in a pack to eliminate a variety of enemies as the Mercenaries would 'release the Maalraas'.'

Furrotio is the favorite, almost the mascot of the Maalraas. Furrotio is the undisputed Alpha male of the pack. He's been the leader of the group for a few years and none of the other Maalrass have been suitable to even consider challenging him for the title. Furrotio's relationship with the commander/handler is so close, it's believed they communicate telepathically, but there's been no confirmation of this.

Furrotio is practially the stuff of legends, he stands 1.5 meters high while on all fours and nearly 2.5 meters on his hind legs, With brown and green scales, he has natural camoflauge. He is a strong ferocious beast when on duty. Rumor has it that in his down time that Furrotio likes chewing on nerf rib bones and sitting by the fire.

==Planet==
[[File:OrdoPlanet.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Landscape of planet Ordo]]

=== Planet Ordo ===
Ordo was the original homeworld of the Mandalorian Clan Ordo.

==== Description ====

Ordo was mostly a desert world nearly completely barren. The limited vegetation that grew on this world was primarily on the equator. There were also limited water recources on this planet because of the harsh desert world. It was murky and filled with sand that the only way to drink the water was to purify it. Sand dunes covered most of the world with extremely scattered oasis. Very few people inhabited this planet, save for some very dangerous creatures that roamed the planet.

==== History ====

The history of the planet Ordo is a muddled mess. Because of the harsh environment, there were countless battles and wars over the limited vegetation. Because the equator was virtually the only area that was inhabitable, the few species that lived or immigrated to Ordo fought over those area's desperately. In the end, the Mandalorian's conquered the native species to build their own settlements up.

==== Inhabitants ====

Species that live on planet Ordo have all immigrated there. Most people avoid this planet, especially after the Mandalorian's took over and made it their base.

=== Former Base Dxun ===
[[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]], or more commonly called the Demon Moon, was the largest moon around the Planet [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]]. It was covered in primarily a large jungle that was inhabited by various species that one would not want to come across.

==== Description ====

This planet had constant rain downpour, making the planet have a usualy wet climate. Despite these climate issues, the temperature was decent and Dxun was quite habitable when one looked at its terrain. There were however, many deadly creatures that lived in the humongous jungle, such as bomas, cannoks, drexls, maalraas, skreevs and zakkegs. Because of these creatures, the inhabitants were forced to always be armed for defense.

==== History ====

After the Beast Wars, the body of Freedon Nadd, a former Dark Lord of the Sith was moved to the moon of Dxun to keep other Sith from using its power that ended well except for Exar Kun and Darth Bane. There was then the Mandalorian Wars in which the Mandalorian?s took control over the moon when Mandalore the Ultimate took leadership of the Mandalorians. This war was brutal, killing thousands in which after the battle, the Rebublic left the Mandalorian structers, as well as not being able to find the many hidden store rooms full of weapons that were supposedly put there by the Mandalorians.

==== Inhabitants ====

Mostly a very few Mando's live here on the base, the rest of the inhabitants of this moon are lone survivalist that have immigrated here for solitude that do not mind the occasional threat of a creature attempting to kill you. These are usually hardened war heroes or criminals that can fend for themselves. The Mando's do not usually see these people as threats.

=== Garrison ===

The Mandalorian Mercenaries were hired by Michael Halcyon from the Clan Ordo, therefore, their base of operations is a series of large structures built up together to form a weak fortress. The smaller structures housing useless supplies around the outer rim, while the bigger structures and more valuable necessities and supplies towards the center. The entire camp was roughly 2km in radius, square around the main tent in the center.

==== Layout ====

The layout of the camp was set as a clock face. This was built on the equator of the planet for optimal weather. There are four sections, Zeta, Gamma, Omega, and Sigma. Each section had a designated area of expertise, with the center of all three the area specified as the War Room and base of operations. Around the area was a shield generator, therefore protecting the Manalorian's from aerial assault.

===== Zeta =====

This section was designated as the rim around the other three sections. These were the structures that housed some four shield generators to protect the camp. Without these, the Mandalorian's would be easy prey for a simple bomb raid. The outer rim of structures created a boundary for their camp to and from the outside world.

===== Gamma Sector =====

This was the area that was specifically designated for the daily necessities of the troops. This had three sub sections. This housed sections from one o'clock to four o'clock. <br>

* Section 1, One o'clock was the Bunker section. This was a medium sized tent that housed the cots and sleeping area for the Mando's. There were also designated areas for facilities.<br>
* Section 2, Two o'clock was the Mess Hall. It was right next to the Bunks. <br>
* Section 3, Three o'clock was the offices were housed for small planning, not nearly as large as the War Room tent. Specific things were discussed here that were not for the Jedi's ears.<br>
* Section 4, Four o'clock was area where Quarter Master Office where the bulk of weapons (non personal) were stored with extra ammunition. This was where the backup generator was held to keep the shield up for a few minutes in case the main square was destroyed.

===== Omega Sector =====

Next to the Quarter Master Bunker was stationed, was the designated area for the Firing Range. To keep from any accidents, this area was fairly large.<br>
* Section 5, Five o'clock to Nine o'clock was the large area in order to test weapons, fix them, practice and in general test them out. The large area was big enough so that nothing was close enough or accidents to occur.

===== Sigma Sector =====

This was the last section that was designated for the medic tent and supply store. <br>
* Section 6, ten o'clock to 12 o'clock was the area that housed supplies for everything needed other than weapon supplies. The Medical tent was also here for necessity, because no matter how good you are, injuries occur.

===== Delta Sector =====

This sector was completely separate from the rest and not set in the square. This was the biggest section on the planet because it housed shops, armory stores; cantina's and most importantly, farms. <br>

* Section 7, this was a new square that was .6km away from the settlement that housed the entertainment section as well as food production for animals and crops. The stores varied between restaurants, cantinas, armor/weapons specialty and living upgrades. The farms took up two thirds of the entire area because the settlement needed to be self sustaining, the Mandalorian's do not want their location known by many, therefore, they cannot import food and other necessities for daily life. With these farms, crops were grown for vegetables, grains as well as animals for protein. In this sector, there is also a water purifying plant so that the very few lakes could be available to the troops. This way, there could be no harmful bacteria in it after being cleaned and ready to drink.

The 991st Special Warfare Company, also known as the Reapers, is an elite military unit assigned to the [[Dark Council]]. It is comprised of four platoon-sized units, each having been designed and constructed to perform a specific task, role or mission. Along with these units, four sections of specialized troops, and one drop ship sqadron,are attached to the 991st to be used as needed.

=== History ===
{{Quote|Fior Go Bas - Faithful Unto Death|Major Lerak Sorotai}}

At the highest levels of power, it quickly becomes evident that there are fewer people who can be trusted. This is a fact the [[Grand Master]] is all too familiar with. That truth was also the reason the Reapers were initially created.

The Reapers were formed in 30 ABY under the rule of [[Muz|Darth Ashen]], and report directly to the Iron Throne. They have no ties to Clan or House. Every member has been tried and tested in the crucible of war and their loyalty remains unyielding.

The Reapers do not seek glory or fame. They are largely unknown outside the circle of the Dark Council. They are the ones that are most frequently the first in and the last out. They are the ones the Grand Master calls upon when no one else can be trusted to do the job.

Their formation gave the Grand Master an effective force at his beck and call without having to rely on the cooperation of the Clans and Houses.

Each member of the Reapers was handpicked because of their exemplary records of outstanding service, or because they showed exceptionally high potential. Once part of the unit, they are committed to a strict regimen of training.

The Reapers constantly strive to maintain their standards of excellence. Their training includes both mental and physical challenges to hone each member into the best they can possibly be. Their regimen also focuses on the highly coordinated teamwork that makes them so efficient and successful.

There is no competition of egos; there is no reward for unnecessary heroics. Each member is reminded frequently that they are part of a team, a cohesive unit, and are responsible for doing their part in every operation or exercise.

=== Philosophy ===
{{Quote|Duty does not require understanding. Don’t question your orders, you follow them and do your job|Corporal Coryn Vance}}

The core philosophy of the Reapers is summed up quite well in their motto, Fior Go Bas- Faithful unto Death. They do not back down from any challenge, and they do whatever is necessary to accomplish whatever mission the Grand Master sends them on. They are always ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Loyalty, both to the Grand Master, and to each other, is deeply ingrained in every member. Surrender, retreat, and failure are not acceptable options. The Reapers pride themselves on their dedication and skill in serving the Iron Throne.

== Missions and Roles ==
The roles of all the members tie in together as a unit, but each role is very important in it’s own right: when used in unison; it would provide for a deadly unit.

===Psyops===

This is interrogation, finding out not only the secrets kept, but the information that might provide insight into the motivations of the opposition as well. It can cause confusion, disruptions with thoughts of what the ‘norm’ are as well as mental torment. Psyops is the beginning of pure psychological warfare and beneficial to demoralize and demotivate the opposition; Krath would be really good at this type of position. You can go so far as begin to reverse brainwash people and get them to convert to your way of thinking. Psyops is necessary to find out simply what the otherside has information on, to find out future plans and other useful data like statistics.

===Black Ops===

These are the shadow, silent killers. They are the ones that can not only observe, but eliminate any scouts or front runners of the opposition. Black Ops are useful as snipers as well as shadow warriors that can stay and remain hidden and eliminate threats. Black Ops are needed so you can get inside and observe (without being noticed) what the opposition is doing, and when possible eliminate any targets.

===Infiltration===

Getting someone on the inside is simply one of the easiest ways to defeat your enemy to get individuals, or even small groups, within enemy/target line, you can begin to dis-assemble their defense systems. If you take out any front line defense, it will make the attack that much more effective and efficient. These troop would have to move swiftly and in unison, a fleet of silent destroyers if you will; ready to slip in and destroy before they are noticed.

===Interdiction===

To cut off transportation of supplies, weapons, food and even general transporation in a war zone is very disruptive to the opponents. This is simply to cut off the supply line whether it be for maintenance, offense, defense or basics. The opposition puts out the call for more troops or arms; or even for supplies or aid to the front lines and that path is cut off and the supplies/supply chain often destroyed. This is beneficial in again causing confusion, disruption as well as tying the hands of the opposition to move artillery about, heavy frontline defense support as well as pull people out of the battlezone. This fleet is needed to remove supply lines, it can be disrupted or destroyed; the benefit of disrupting is using what ever it is yourself…destroyed would be useful to move quickly.

===Eradication===

The elimination of all opponents/enemies. Leave no stone unturned; in this case, NO JEDI LEFT ALIVE it is not taking any prisoners, total slaughter and total onslaught. These people would have to be blood thirsty ruthless killing machines, assassins, people that take pleasure almost a perverted pleasure in slaying multitudes. If there is one Jedi left, it can be rebuilt. Eradication is the only way to eliminate the threat.

== Standard Equipment and Armor==
As the elite unit attached to the Dark Council and carrying out orders of the [[Grand Master]] or the [[Deputy Grand Master]] themselves, this group is equipped with the best equipment currently available. It is noteworthy that different sections of the platoon receive different set of equipment, depending on their profiles.

===Assault Infrantry===

This section of the unit is designed for typical assault missions. Thus, while the equipment of the unit itself may be referred as ‘elite’, this section is equipped with the most average weaponry.

Each soldier carries slightly modified [[starwars:A280 blaster rifle|A280 blaster rifle]] with a grenade launcher attached. Standard belt equipment of assault infantry section includes also five additional energy cells for the A280 blaster rifle, three [[starwars:thermal detonator|thermal detonators]] and standard devices for short and long distance communication. When necessary, soldiers of assault infantry wear black armor manufactured from self-repairing material called [[starwars:laminanium|laminanium]].

In the backpacks, members of assault infantry section carried additional [[starwars:energy cell|energy cells]] and both anti-infantry and anti-tank mines. In addition to that, as part of the elite unit, they were allowed to include any necessary equipment.

===Rangers / Scouts===

This section of the unit is responsible for reconnaissance missions and guerrilla fighting. The type of the main missions is reflected by section’s standard equipment.

As far as weapons are concerned, scouts are equipped with WESTAR-M6 blaster rifle, which is the successor of [[starwars:WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle|WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle]]. It has been redesigned in order to get a silenced weapon, which may utilize different add-ons, like grenade launcher.

In addition to that, standard equipment of a scout trooper includes three mines and a set of hand-held scanners and detectors, which allow to gather various information about the surroundings. Advanced communication devices allow to transmit encrypted data directly from the scanners. Scouts’ standard equipment contains also hacking devices.

Scouts do not wear armor, which would limit their movement abilities, as they rely on agility instead of armor protection. Instead of armor they prefer Chameleon Suit, which allows them to remain invisible under certain circumstances.

===Commandos===

Members of commando team is usually tasked with infiltration and other types of crucial, but delicate missions. Thus, they are equipped with the most advanced masterpieces of weaponry and equipment.

The most common weapon among members of the commando team is DC-20d Interchangeable Weapon System. Developed from the [[starwars:DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System|DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System]], it is very similar to its predecessor, as it provides great flexibility with exchangeable add-ons. It makes this blaster rifle very useful in the eyes of commando team.

In addition to that, soldiers of commando team are equipped with Chameleon Armour, which provides both protection and camouflage, adapting itself to the surroundings. It is not perfect, as its camouflage abilities are useful only, when its wearers remain with no move. However, it also includes variety of scanners and a kind of HUD, which displays information about the distance to target, size of objects, differences in height, weather forecast and life signs in the surroundings. It also allows to see in the night-vision and the ultraviolet.

===Snipers===

Dedicated to the motto: “One shot, one kill”, snipers are specialists in long-ranged fighting, what is reflected with the suitable equipment.

In the matter of weaponry, members of snipers section carried DX-12 sniper rifle. Based on [[starwars:Verpine sniper rifle|Verpine sniper rifle]], it works in similar way and provides enough firepower to severely hurt even heavily armored targets. DX-12 is not only weapon of snipers. In case of being detected, they carry [[starwars:E-19 blaster rifle|E-19 blaster rifles]].

Other equipment of snipers includes two thermal grenades and advanced optic systems, which allow to observe targets from long distances. They also wear Chameleon Suit in order to protect themselves against observers.

===Heavy weapons===
“Blast’em up!” says their motto and their equipment is perfect reflection of their fighting policy.

Their standard weapons are [[starwars:MiniMag PTL missile launcher|MiniMag PTL missile launchers]], [[starwars:Thermal Detonator Launcher| Thermal Detonator Launchers]], [[starwars:EMP launcher|EMP launchers]] and other similar weapons. In addition to that, they carry numerous thermal detonators, anti-infantry and anti-tank mines, as well as sets of high-explosives. When necessary, members of heavy weapons squad utilized [[starwars:Merr-Sonn Mobile Grenade Mortar|Merr-Sonn Mobile Grenade Mortar]].

Other equipment included standard communication devices, binoculars and DC-20d Interchangeable Weapon System for self-defense.

===Vehicles===

Due to limited amount of space in vehicles, members of this section use very basic equipment. Main difference between them and assault infantry is that they utilize [[Starwars:DC-15S blaster|DC-15S blaster]] instead of [[starwars:A280 blaster rifle|A280 blaster rifle]]. It is so, because DC-15S blaster is shorter than most of blaster rifles.

===Drop ship crew===

Due to very specific tasks carried out by the drop ship crews, its members use very basic equipment, including [[Starwars:E-15 Blaster Rifle|E-15 blaster rifles]].

===Headquarters===

The role of headquarters is much different than of other sections of the unit. They are to analyze current tactical situation and to adjust orders and tactics to new circumstances. That is why members of the HQ are equipped with the most advanced scanners, communication devices and equipment to display tactical status.

However, their equipment includes also large variety of weapons, ranging from short range blaster pistols and blaster rifles to heavy weapons and thermal detonators. It is so in order to provide them protection against any possible enemies, who might discover their location.

{{Quote|It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything|Lerak Sorotai}}

'''Name:''' Major Lerak Sorotai<br>
'''Species:''' [[Starwars:Kuat|Kuati Human]]<br>
'''Born:''' 14 BBY<br>
'''Age:''' 49<br>
'''Gender:''' Male<br>
'''Hair Color:''' White<br>
'''Eye Color:''' Emerald Green<br>
'''Height:''' 6ft (1.83 m) <br>
'''Weight:''' 175 (79.37 kg)<br>

History: He was born to a powerful family on Kuat that owned a fairly large percentage of a share of the [[starwars:Kuat Drive Yards|shipyards]]. Growing up working from the bottom up, Lerak gained a sense of hard work, integrated in leadership. After years of working for his family, joined the Academy of Carida at age 18. For years, he worked thorugh out connections he’d made while in various schools at the Academy, learning to be the best officer he could be.

Lerak worked as a First Lieutenant on the [[Starwars:Imperial Star Destroyer|Imperial Star Destroyer]] Gorgon under [[Starwars:Natasi Daala|Natasi Daala]]. He worked up through the ranks and became a Captain. After Daala took command of the warlord's Star Destroyers, Lerak’s platoons died in the take over. For his failure, he was demoted to Second Lieutenant.

With this mistake heavy on his shoulder over the losses because of his failure in communications, Lerak learned from his terrible mistake. He resigned from his position and joined the Imperial Remnant as a Captain despite his hesitancy. He ordered his troops around getting things done all the while remembering the responsibility that his actions hold many lives in his hand. During the Yuuzhan Vong war, Lerak’s superiors were killed in a collission between their ship and two Yuuzhan Vong’s destroying everything. The entire populaces of all three ships were killed in either the explosion or damage afterwards. Lerak was again thrusted upon leadership by Pellaeon himself. He was promoted as a Major there on the spot and took control of many men, helping defeat the Yuuzhan Vong.

'''Personality:''' Lerak is a driven man, he knows what he wants and he goes for it. For most of his life, he felt a hole in his heart and knew that he was meant for something, but what it was he was not sure. Going through his military career has toughined him up and geared for anything that gets thrown his way. He follows and gives orders with respect and authority. He leads with pride.

{{Quote|You go out into battle, you are already dead. Nothing to fear if you are already dead|Heleric Valera}}

'''Name:''' Heleric Valera<br>
'''Gender:''' Male<br>
'''Species:''' [[Starwars:Coreallia|Corellian]]<br>
'''Age:''' 26<br>
'''Height:''' 5' 11"<br>
'''Weight:''' 180 pounds<br>
'''Eye Color:''' Hazel<br>
'''Hair Color:''' Auburn<br>

'''History:''' Heleric Valera was born on the planet of Corellian in 9 ABY. He 5 foot 11 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. He is lean and fast not large and strong. He has hazel eyes and short cropped auburn hair. He has lived his life learning how to survive and now brings that talent to the 991st. He raised in a poor household on Corellia, where he spent much of his time on the streets and dealing with gang activities. At the age of 7 he was forced to fight off a group of teenagers who were trying to get recruited into the feared Red Circle Gang. It was in this fight he made his first kill. At the age of 16, he lied about his age to join the Corellian Militia as part of the defenses against the incoming Yuuzhan Vong in the galaxy. He spent the next several years engaged in guerrilla warfare around the galaxy fighting the Vong. He had a confirmed 178 kills when Brotherhood representatives contacted him. 2 years into the Vong War, he joined the Brotherhood fleet. Since then he has been working his way up the ranks and is now the XO.

'''Personality:''' Hardened by his life on the streets and his time conducting guerrilla warfare, Heleric understands what it takes to survive. He also understands a different side of combat. Where most military officers plan according to traditional military formations, Heleric knows how weaker indigenous groups would fight back against a superior force. Coupled with his natural survival instincts, he is seen as a valuable asset to the 991st.

{{Quote|Shut up. You have an order. DO IT. No donít care, just do it|Sekaod Unonax}}

'''Name:''' Sekaod Unonax<br>
'''Gender:''' Male<br>
'''Species:''' [[starwars:Sluis Van|Sluissi]]<br>
'''Age:''' 58<br>
'''Height:''' 5' 5"<br>
'''Weight:''' 136 pounds<br>
'''Eye Color:''' Black<br>
'''Skin Tone:''' Dark Green<br>

'''History:''' Sekaod Unonax is a tough old Sluissi. At 58 years old he is approaching the end of an average Sluissi’s lifespan. His of average hight 5 foot 5 inches and weighs 136 pounds. To the untrained eye he looks like any other old Sluissi, with dark green skin and black eyes. Sekaod is not a lifelong military personnel. Like most of his species he was gifted with a natural talent and understanding of machines and technology. He quickly found himself managing a large section of the legendary [[starwars:Sluis Van Shipyards|Sluis Van Shipyards]] by age 23. He was a naturally gifted manager, patient and understanding as is common with his species. However a scandal involving his superior at the shipyard embezzling money ended with Sekaod getting the blame and fired. This event changed his life in more ways than one. He became angry and aggressive traits very uncommon for a Sluissi.
Following this scandal, he was brought into the Brotherhood’s military as an technician for the fleet. His leadership abilities once again shone through and he quickly became an important leader for the technicians of the 991st. When the Vong invaded DB space he kept a level head and his harsh attitude saved the lives of his subordinates. He was brought into the military forces and is currently serving as the 991st First Sergeant. Fear and loved by his men he is the cranky old Sluissi who will do whatever it takes to get the job done.

'''Personality:''' As Sekaod has gotten older he has lost most of his typical Sluissi traits of patience and calmness. His failure at the Sluis Van Shipyard made him hard and bitter and now he is a rough First Sergeant in the 991st.

=== Scrabbles the Honey Badger ===
{{Quote|He is one brutal animal|Lerak Sorotai}}

Scrabbles is the mascot of the 991st. Scrabbles is a famed honeybadger, and as the mascot for the 991st is seen as the face of absolute military excellence. Scrabbles stands at just under a foot tall at the shoulder and is just under two and a half feet. Scrabbles has a black coat with white and grey coloring running from the top of his head and down his back.

Where Scrabbles originally comes from is unknown. He was found by Lerak Sorotai on his home planet of [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]]. Having never seen an animal like Scrabbles before, Lerak captured the honeybadger. He quickly released what a fighter and how fearless the animal it was.

With Lerak leading the 991st, Scrabbles has become the face of the unit. All the men of 991st have come to respect and fear the honeybadger. They have all seen Scrabbles fearlessly face larger animals and take them down. They have seen Scrabbles get poisoned and get up and recover. All the men in the 991st swear to live as Scrabbles does, fearless, emotionless in the face of death, capable of over coming any obstacle.

== Garrison ==

Limbus Station is the recovered and renamed space station for the Reapers. Limbus is a stationary space station, large enough to be self-sustaining and house troops, fighters, training grounds and has defenses as well. It is located in the Outer rim, just on the outskirts of the [[starwars:Esstran Secotr|Esstran sector]]. It was constructed piece by piece, slowly, and secretively under the auspices of the Iron Throne.

There is an agrimoon located very close to the space station, just between Limbus and New Tython, where personnel can go for rest and relaxation as well as further training. There is a small base camp that is used for training in both the mountainous and jungle terrain that will be encountered on New Tython.

===Layout===

The space station is set out in levels, there are three major levels to the space station, each with their own offices, departments and sections.

Limbus station has a layered system of defenses including shields, pinpoint laser cannons, and turbolasers around the entire hull

====Alpha Sector====
* Alpha-1 (the top section of the space station) is dedicated to the defense system. Alpha of Limbus contains 4 ion cannon batteries and 12 quad laser cannon batteries to supply power. There are 12 XX-8 turbolasers (produced by Taim & Bak) placed throughout the top levels as well as one large/heavy tractor beam. Also included in the top level of “Alpha” is a large docking pad for larger ships.

* Alpha-2 is designed for shipping and receiving. This is where the crew receives and inspects all incoming cargo as well as ships out space junk and equipment that has failed.

* Alpha-3 is where the droids and personnel work on ships and equipment. It’s a fully functional garage and repair location. If your weapon is malfunctioning or misfiring, they can fix it. If your ship has troubles, they’ve got you covered. There is little, outside of custom weaponry that the team in the repair center cannot handle.

* Alpha-4 is designated for offices and administration. This level of “Alpha” is where all business is conducted. Purchase orders, requests for equipment and general gripes are all processed here. If you need something ordered, if you need to ship something or if you just plain need something, it will pass through this office at some point.

====Bravo Sector====

Zone “Bravo” of the Limbus space station is for the personnel.

* Bravo-1 is for training; there are gun ranges, holofields for lightsaber training, simulators for flight and many other ‘secretive locations’ for training where information is never divulged. (Rumor has it, it’s related to Force training and preparation for Psyops, but no confirmation is available) There are halls that have very restricted access for some of the training; only the highest of Sith or Krath are permitted inside, so rumors abound what occurs within those halls.

* Bravo-2 is the gymnasium and track. Swimming is provided as well as a fully equipped gymnasium, with and without a varying degree of gravity. The gymnasium has equipment that will increase the endurance of the personnel as well as strengthen and heal muscles. There is a thorough physical therapy department housed in the left quarter, for those that have strained muscles or been injured in battle.

* Bravo-3 and 4 is the housing unit for the space station. Bunks and lounges are located here with the bottom two being an enormous mess hall, able to feed everyone at space station Limbus at once. The cook is much appreciated Momuza or “Mom” as she’s often referred to, can cook up a variety of delicacies that makes for surprisingly tolerable military food.

* Bravo-5 and 6 are set aside for research areas and also the Quartermaster’s office: for provision of uniforms and various weaponry. This is the area that houses the library as well as documentation. Research and obtaining of any knowledge happens here in Bravo.. There is also a special request office for those that would order a custom weapon or robe outside of standard issue. The exchange is located here as well, where personnel can receive packages and buy non-issue items. In the last level of Bravo is the huge cantina: “The Flaming Corpse” houses many a wild night, camaraderie and a place for everyone to blow off steam and meet.

====Charlie Sector====

The final sector of the Limbus Spacestation, Charlie, is a series of halls and tunnels which gets pilots to the ships and starcraft they will be piloting. The ships, starfighters and any vehicles used in battle are stored and prepared in this sector. There is a lounge with simulators for a variety of craft, as well as a coffee station that serves a variety of beverages to provide energy to the pilots.

The 991st Special Warfare Company, also known as the Reapers, is an elite military unit assigned to the [[Dark Council]]. It is comprised of four platoon-sized units, each having been designed and constructed to perform a specific task, role or mission. Along with these units, four sections of specialized troops, and one drop ship sqadron,are attached to the 991st to be used as needed.

== Unit History ==

=== History ===
{{Quote|Fior Go Bas - Faithful Unto Death|Major Lerak Sorotai}}

At the highest levels of power, it quickly becomes evident that there are fewer people who can be trusted. This is a fact the [[Grand Master]] is all too familiar with. That truth was also the reason the Reapers were initially created.

The Reapers were formed in 30 ABY under the rule of [[Muz|Darth Ashen]], and report directly to the Iron Throne. They have no ties to Clan or House. Every member has been tried and tested in the crucible of war and their loyalty remains unyielding.

The Reapers do not seek glory or fame. They are largely unknown outside the circle of the Dark Council. They are the ones that are most frequently the first in and the last out. They are the ones the Grand Master calls upon when no one else can be trusted to do the job.

Their formation gave the Grand Master an effective force at his beck and call without having to rely on the cooperation of the Clans and Houses.

=== Training ===
{{Quote|Your best is only good enough if it’s better than the rest|Major Lerak Sorotai}}

Each member of the Reapers was handpicked because of their exemplary records of outstanding service, or because they showed exceptionally high potential. Once part of the unit, they are committed to a strict regimen of training.

The Reapers constantly strive to maintain their standards of excellence. Their training includes both mental and physical challenges to hone each member into the best they can possibly be. Their regimen also focuses on the highly coordinated teamwork that makes them so efficient and successful.

There is no competition of egos; there is no reward for unnecessary heroics. Each member is reminded frequently that they are part of a team, a cohesive unit, and are responsible for doing their part in every operation or exercise.

=== Philosophy ===
{{Quote|Duty does not require understanding. Don’t question your orders, you follow them and do your job|Corporal Coryn Vance}}

The core philosophy of the Reapers is summed up quite well in their motto, Fior Go Bas- Faithful unto Death. They do not back down from any challenge, and they do whatever is necessary to accomplish whatever mission the Grand Master sends them on. They are always ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Loyalty, both to the Grand Master, and to each other, is deeply ingrained in every member. Surrender, retreat, and failure are not acceptable options. The Reapers pride themselves on their dedication and skill in serving the Iron Throne.

== Missions and Roles ==
The roles of all the members tie in together as a unit, but each role is very important in it’s own right: when used in unison; it would provide for a deadly unit.

===Psyops===

This is interrogation, finding out not only the secrets kept, but the information that might provide insight into the motivations of the opposition as well. It can cause confusion, disruptions with thoughts of what the ‘norm’ are as well as mental torment. Psyops is the beginning of pure psychological warfare and beneficial to demoralize and demotivate the opposition; Krath would be really good at this type of position. You can go so far as begin to reverse brainwash people and get them to convert to your way of thinking. Psyops is necessary to find out simply what the otherside has information on, to find out future plans and other useful data like statistics.

===Black Ops===

These are the shadow, silent killers. They are the ones that can not only observe, but eliminate any scouts or front runners of the opposition. Black Ops are useful as snipers as well as shadow warriors that can stay and remain hidden and eliminate threats. Black Ops are needed so you can get inside and observe (without being noticed) what the opposition is doing, and when possible eliminate any targets.

===Infiltration===

Getting someone on the inside is simply one of the easiest ways to defeat your enemy to get individuals, or even small groups, within enemy/target line, you can begin to dis-assemble their defense systems. If you take out any front line defense, it will make the attack that much more effective and efficient. These troop would have to move swiftly and in unison, a fleet of silent destroyers if you will; ready to slip in and destroy before they are noticed.

===Interdiction===

To cut off transportation of supplies, weapons, food and even general transporation in a war zone is very disruptive to the opponents. This is simply to cut off the supply line whether it be for maintenance, offense, defense or basics. The opposition puts out the call for more troops or arms; or even for supplies or aid to the front lines and that path is cut off and the supplies/supply chain often destroyed. This is beneficial in again causing confusion, disruption as well as tying the hands of the opposition to move artillery about, heavy frontline defense support as well as pull people out of the battlezone. This fleet is needed to remove supply lines, it can be disrupted or destroyed; the benefit of disrupting is using what ever it is yourself…destroyed would be useful to move quickly.

===Eradication===

The elimination of all opponents/enemies. Leave no stone unturned; in this case, NO JEDI LEFT ALIVE it is not taking any prisoners, total slaughter and total onslaught. These people would have to be blood thirsty ruthless killing machines, assassins, people that take pleasure almost a perverted pleasure in slaying multitudes. If there is one Jedi left, it can be rebuilt. Eradication is the only way to eliminate the threat.

== Standard Equipment and Armor==
As the elite unit attached to the Dark Council and carrying out orders of the [[Grand Master]] or the [[Deputy Grand Master]] themselves, this group is equipped with the best equipment currently available. It is noteworthy that different sections of the platoon receive different set of equipment, depending on their profiles.

===Assault Infrantry===

This section of the unit is designed for typical assault missions. Thus, while the equipment of the unit itself may be referred as ‘elite’, this section is equipped with the most average weaponry.

Each soldier carries slightly modified [[starwars:A280 blaster rifle|A280 blaster rifle]] with a grenade launcher attached. Standard belt equipment of assault infantry section includes also five additional energy cells for the A280 blaster rifle, three [[starwars:thermal detonator|thermal detonators]] and standard devices for short and long distance communication. When necessary, soldiers of assault infantry wear black armor manufactured from self-repairing material called [[starwars:laminanium|laminanium]].

In the backpacks, members of assault infantry section carried additional [[starwars:energy cell|energy cells]] and both anti-infantry and anti-tank mines. In addition to that, as part of the elite unit, they were allowed to include any necessary equipment.

===Rangers / Scouts===

This section of the unit is responsible for reconnaissance missions and guerrilla fighting. The type of the main missions is reflected by section’s standard equipment.

As far as weapons are concerned, scouts are equipped with WESTAR-M6 blaster rifle, which is the successor of [[starwars:WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle|WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle]]. It has been redesigned in order to get a silenced weapon, which may utilize different add-ons, like grenade launcher.

In addition to that, standard equipment of a scout trooper includes three mines and a set of hand-held scanners and detectors, which allow to gather various information about the surroundings. Advanced communication devices allow to transmit encrypted data directly from the scanners. Scouts’ standard equipment contains also hacking devices.

Scouts do not wear armor, which would limit their movement abilities, as they rely on agility instead of armor protection. Instead of armor they prefer Chameleon Suit, which allows them to remain invisible under certain circumstances.

===Commandos===

Members of commando team is usually tasked with infiltration and other types of crucial, but delicate missions. Thus, they are equipped with the most advanced masterpieces of weaponry and equipment.

The most common weapon among members of the commando team is DC-20d Interchangeable Weapon System. Developed from the [[starwars:DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System|DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System]], it is very similar to its predecessor, as it provides great flexibility with exchangeable add-ons. It makes this blaster rifle very useful in the eyes of commando team.

In addition to that, soldiers of commando team are equipped with Chameleon Armour, which provides both protection and camouflage, adapting itself to the surroundings. It is not perfect, as its camouflage abilities are useful only, when its wearers remain with no move. However, it also includes variety of scanners and a kind of HUD, which displays information about the distance to target, size of objects, differences in height, weather forecast and life signs in the surroundings. It also allows to see in the night-vision and the ultraviolet.

===Snipers===

Dedicated to the motto: “One shot, one kill”, snipers are specialists in long-ranged fighting, what is reflected with the suitable equipment.

In the matter of weaponry, members of snipers section carried DX-12 sniper rifle. Based on [[starwars:Verpine sniper rifle|Verpine sniper rifle]], it works in similar way and provides enough firepower to severely hurt even heavily armored targets. DX-12 is not only weapon of snipers. In case of being detected, they carry [[starwars:E-19 blaster rifle|E-19 blaster rifles]].

Other equipment of snipers includes two thermal grenades and advanced optic systems, which allow to observe targets from long distances. They also wear Chameleon Suit in order to protect themselves against observers.

===Heavy weapons===
“Blast’em up!” says their motto and their equipment is perfect reflection of their fighting policy.

Their standard weapons are [[starwars:MiniMag PTL missile launcher|MiniMag PTL missile launchers]], [[starwars:Thermal Detonator Launcher| Thermal Detonator Launchers]], [[starwars:EMP launcher|EMP launchers]] and other similar weapons. In addition to that, they carry numerous thermal detonators, anti-infantry and anti-tank mines, as well as sets of high-explosives. When necessary, members of heavy weapons squad utilized [[starwars:Merr-Sonn Mobile Grenade Mortar|Merr-Sonn Mobile Grenade Mortar]].

Other equipment included standard communication devices, binoculars and DC-20d Interchangeable Weapon System for self-defense.

===Vehicles===

Due to limited amount of space in vehicles, members of this section use very basic equipment. Main difference between them and assault infantry is that they utilize [[Starwars:DC-15S blaster|DC-15S blaster]] instead of [[starwars:A280 blaster rifle|A280 blaster rifle]]. It is so, because DC-15S blaster is shorter than most of blaster rifles.

===Drop ship crew===

Due to very specific tasks carried out by the drop ship crews, its members use very basic equipment, including [[Starwars:E-15 Blaster Rifle|E-15 blaster rifles]].

===Headquarters===

The role of headquarters is much different than of other sections of the unit. They are to analyze current tactical situation and to adjust orders and tactics to new circumstances. That is why members of the HQ are equipped with the most advanced scanners, communication devices and equipment to display tactical status.

However, their equipment includes also large variety of weapons, ranging from short range blaster pistols and blaster rifles to heavy weapons and thermal detonators. It is so in order to provide them protection against any possible enemies, who might discover their location.

{{Quote|It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything|Lerak Sorotai}}

'''Name:''' Major Lerak Sorotai<br>
'''Species:''' [[Starwars:Kuat|Kuati Human]]<br>
'''Born:''' 14 BBY<br>
'''Age:''' 49<br>
'''Gender:''' Male<br>
'''Hair Color:''' White<br>
'''Eye Color:''' Emerald Green<br>
'''Height:''' 6ft (1.83 m) <br>
'''Weight:''' 175 (79.37 kg)<br>

History: He was born to a powerful family on Kuat that owned a fairly large percentage of a share of the [[starwars:Kuat Drive Yards|shipyards]]. Growing up working from the bottom up, Lerak gained a sense of hard work, integrated in leadership. After years of working for his family, joined the Academy of Carida at age 18. For years, he worked thorugh out connections he’d made while in various schools at the Academy, learning to be the best officer he could be.

Lerak worked as a First Lieutenant on the [[Starwars:Imperial Star Destroyer|Imperial Star Destroyer]] Gorgon under [[Starwars:Natasi Daala|Natasi Daala]]. He worked up through the ranks and became a Captain. After Daala took command of the warlord's Star Destroyers, Lerak’s platoons died in the take over. For his failure, he was demoted to Second Lieutenant.

With this mistake heavy on his shoulder over the losses because of his failure in communications, Lerak learned from his terrible mistake. He resigned from his position and joined the Imperial Remnant as a Captain despite his hesitancy. He ordered his troops around getting things done all the while remembering the responsibility that his actions hold many lives in his hand. During the Yuuzhan Vong war, Lerak’s superiors were killed in a collission between their ship and two Yuuzhan Vong’s destroying everything. The entire populaces of all three ships were killed in either the explosion or damage afterwards. Lerak was again thrusted upon leadership by Pellaeon himself. He was promoted as a Major there on the spot and took control of many men, helping defeat the Yuuzhan Vong.

'''Personality:''' Lerak is a driven man, he knows what he wants and he goes for it. For most of his life, he felt a hole in his heart and knew that he was meant for something, but what it was he was not sure. Going through his military career has toughined him up and geared for anything that gets thrown his way. He follows and gives orders with respect and authority. He leads with pride.

=== Executive Officer ===
{{Quote|You go out into battle, you are already dead. Nothing to fear if you are already dead|Heleric Valera}}

'''Name:''' Heleric Valera<br>
'''Gender:''' Male<br>
'''Species:''' [[Starwars:Coreallia|Corellian]]<br>
'''Age:''' 26<br>
'''Height:''' 5' 11"<br>
'''Weight:''' 180 pounds<br>
'''Eye Color:''' Hazel<br>
'''Hair Color:''' Auburn<br>

'''History:''' Heleric Valera was born on the planet of Corellian in 9 ABY. He 5 foot 11 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. He is lean and fast not large and strong. He has hazel eyes and short cropped auburn hair. He has lived his life learning how to survive and now brings that talent to the 991st. He raised in a poor household on Corellia, where he spent much of his time on the streets and dealing with gang activities. At the age of 7 he was forced to fight off a group of teenagers who were trying to get recruited into the feared Red Circle Gang. It was in this fight he made his first kill. At the age of 16, he lied about his age to join the Corellian Militia as part of the defenses against the incoming Yuuzhan Vong in the galaxy. He spent the next several years engaged in guerrilla warfare around the galaxy fighting the Vong. He had a confirmed 178 kills when Brotherhood representatives contacted him. 2 years into the Vong War, he joined the Brotherhood fleet. Since then he has been working his way up the ranks and is now the XO.

'''Personality:''' Hardened by his life on the streets and his time conducting guerrilla warfare, Heleric understands what it takes to survive. He also understands a different side of combat. Where most military officers plan according to traditional military formations, Heleric knows how weaker indigenous groups would fight back against a superior force. Coupled with his natural survival instincts, he is seen as a valuable asset to the 991st.

=== First Sergeant ===
{{Quote|Shut up. You have an order. DO IT. No donít care, just do it|Sekaod Unonax}}

'''Name:''' Sekaod Unonax<br>
'''Gender:''' Male<br>
'''Species:''' [[starwars:Sluis Van|Sluissi]]<br>
'''Age:''' 58<br>
'''Height:''' 5' 5"<br>
'''Weight:''' 136 pounds<br>
'''Eye Color:''' Black<br>
'''Skin Tone:''' Dark Green<br>

'''History:''' Sekaod Unonax is a tough old Sluissi. At 58 years old he is approaching the end of an average Sluissi’s lifespan. His of average hight 5 foot 5 inches and weighs 136 pounds. To the untrained eye he looks like any other old Sluissi, with dark green skin and black eyes. Sekaod is not a lifelong military personnel. Like most of his species he was gifted with a natural talent and understanding of machines and technology. He quickly found himself managing a large section of the legendary [[starwars:Sluis Van Shipyards|Sluis Van Shipyards]] by age 23. He was a naturally gifted manager, patient and understanding as is common with his species. However a scandal involving his superior at the shipyard embezzling money ended with Sekaod getting the blame and fired. This event changed his life in more ways than one. He became angry and aggressive traits very uncommon for a Sluissi.
Following this scandal, he was brought into the Brotherhood’s military as an technician for the fleet. His leadership abilities once again shone through and he quickly became an important leader for the technicians of the 991st. When the Vong invaded DB space he kept a level head and his harsh attitude saved the lives of his subordinates. He was brought into the military forces and is currently serving as the 991st First Sergeant. Fear and loved by his men he is the cranky old Sluissi who will do whatever it takes to get the job done.

'''Personality:''' As Sekaod has gotten older he has lost most of his typical Sluissi traits of patience and calmness. His failure at the Sluis Van Shipyard made him hard and bitter and now he is a rough First Sergeant in the 991st.

=== Scrabbles the Honey Badger ===
{{Quote|He is one brutal animal|Lerak Sorotai}}

Scrabbles is the mascot of the 991st. Scrabbles is a famed honeybadger, and as the mascot for the 991st is seen as the face of absolute military excellence. Scrabbles stands at just under a foot tall at the shoulder and is just under two and a half feet. Scrabbles has a black coat with white and grey coloring running from the top of his head and down his back.

Where Scrabbles originally comes from is unknown. He was found by Lerak Sorotai on his home planet of [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]]. Having never seen an animal like Scrabbles before, Lerak captured the honeybadger. He quickly released what a fighter and how fearless the animal it was.

With Lerak leading the 991st, Scrabbles has become the face of the unit. All the men of 991st have come to respect and fear the honeybadger. They have all seen Scrabbles fearlessly face larger animals and take them down. They have seen Scrabbles get poisoned and get up and recover. All the men in the 991st swear to live as Scrabbles does, fearless, emotionless in the face of death, capable of over coming any obstacle.

=== Corporal Coryn Vance ===

{{Quote|Fear is a powerful tool. If you fear nothing, you cannot defeat anything|Coryn Vance}}

'''Name:''' Coryn Vance<br>
'''Rank:''' Corporal
'''Gender:''' Male<br>
'''Species:''' [[starwars:Corulag|Corulag]] Human<br>
'''Age:''' 25<br>
'''Height:''' 6’ 1”<br>
'''Weight:''' 110 pounds<br>
'''Eye Color:''' Hazel<br>
'''Hair Color:''' Auburn<br>

'''History:''' Coryn Vance grew up around the influence of the Imperial military with his father having served for many years. Coryn learned the value of hard work, loyalty, and dedication at a young age. As soon as he was able, Coryn enrolled in the training academy on Corulag. He surprised most of his instructors with the natural aptitude and ability he displayed.
Progressing rapidly through his training, he caught the eye of the Dark Council’s spies. They recognized the incredible potential in the young man. He was approached with an offer to join a newly formed unit, the Reapers.

By 35ABY, Coryn had proven himself to be a capable part of the unit, achieving the rank of Corporal.

'''Personality:''' Relatively quiet, he prefers to let his actions speak for him. He is fiercly dedicated to his team. He has learned that patience and planning can often be more rewarding than the blind ambition.

== Garrison ==

Limbus Station is the recovered and renamed space station for the Reapers. Limbus is a stationary space station, large enough to be self-sustaining and house troops, fighters, training grounds and has defenses as well. It is located in the Outer rim, just on the outskirts of the [[starwars:Esstran Secotr|Esstran sector]]. It was constructed piece by piece, slowly, and secretively under the auspices of the Iron Throne.

There is an agrimoon located very close to the space station, just between Limbus and New Tython, where personnel can go for rest and relaxation as well as further training. There is a small base camp that is used for training in both the mountainous and jungle terrain that will be encountered on New Tython.

===Layout===

The space station is set out in levels, there are three major levels to the space station, each with their own offices, departments and sections.

Limbus station has a layered system of defenses including shields, pinpoint laser cannons, and turbolasers around the entire hull

====Alpha Sector====
* Alpha-1 (the top section of the space station) is dedicated to the defense system. Alpha of Limbus contains 4 ion cannon batteries and 12 quad laser cannon batteries to supply power. There are 12 XX-8 turbolasers (produced by Taim & Bak) placed throughout the top levels as well as one large/heavy tractor beam. Also included in the top level of “Alpha” is a large docking pad for larger ships.

* Alpha-2 is designed for shipping and receiving. This is where the crew receives and inspects all incoming cargo as well as ships out space junk and equipment that has failed.

* Alpha-3 is where the droids and personnel work on ships and equipment. It’s a fully functional garage and repair location. If your weapon is malfunctioning or misfiring, they can fix it. If your ship has troubles, they’ve got you covered. There is little, outside of custom weaponry that the team in the repair center cannot handle.

* Alpha-4 is designated for offices and administration. This level of “Alpha” is where all business is conducted. Purchase orders, requests for equipment and general gripes are all processed here. If you need something ordered, if you need to ship something or if you just plain need something, it will pass through this office at some point.

====Bravo Sector====

Zone “Bravo” of the Limbus space station is for the personnel.

* Bravo-1 is for training; there are gun ranges, holofields for lightsaber training, simulators for flight and many other ‘secretive locations’ for training where information is never divulged. (Rumor has it, it’s related to Force training and preparation for Psyops, but no confirmation is available) There are halls that have very restricted access for some of the training; only the highest of Sith or Krath are permitted inside, so rumors abound what occurs within those halls.

* Bravo-2 is the gymnasium and track. Swimming is provided as well as a fully equipped gymnasium, with and without a varying degree of gravity. The gymnasium has equipment that will increase the endurance of the personnel as well as strengthen and heal muscles. There is a thorough physical therapy department housed in the left quarter, for those that have strained muscles or been injured in battle.

* Bravo-3 and 4 is the housing unit for the space station. Bunks and lounges are located here with the bottom two being an enormous mess hall, able to feed everyone at space station Limbus at once. The cook is much appreciated Momuza or “Mom” as she’s often referred to, can cook up a variety of delicacies that makes for surprisingly tolerable military food.

* Bravo-5 and 6 are set aside for research areas and also the Quartermaster’s office: for provision of uniforms and various weaponry. This is the area that houses the library as well as documentation. Research and obtaining of any knowledge happens here in Bravo.. There is also a special request office for those that would order a custom weapon or robe outside of standard issue. The exchange is located here as well, where personnel can receive packages and buy non-issue items. In the last level of Bravo is the huge cantina: “The Flaming Corpse” houses many a wild night, camaraderie and a place for everyone to blow off steam and meet.

====Charlie Sector====

The final sector of the Limbus Spacestation, Charlie, is a series of halls and tunnels which gets pilots to the ships and starcraft they will be piloting. The ships, starfighters and any vehicles used in battle are stored and prepared in this sector. There is a lounge with simulators for a variety of craft, as well as a coffee station that serves a variety of beverages to provide energy to the pilots.

{{Quote|Some go their whole lives without once knowing who they are... When I pull this trigger, it feels like I'm shaking my own hand.|Kael Fayne}}

'''Kael Fayne''' is an [[starwars:Arkanian|Arkanian]] [[Dark Jedi Knight]] hailing from the [[Scholae Palatinae|Royal House of Scholae Palatinae]]. The archetypical [[Obelisk|Obelisk Paladin]], Kael is a mixture of cunning intellect, obsessive-compulsive training, and knightly honor. Coming of age during the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]], Fayne made a name for himself in [[starwars:Galactic Republic|Republic]] militias as a brutally effective marine before becoming an undercover cop after the War's end. After exposing corruption within Arkanian Civil Authority, Kael was imprisoned in carbonite as a test subject for [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]] from 15 BBY to 32 ABY until he was freed by Clone War acquaintance [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae]]. Blinded during the imprisonment and without a home, Kael opted to join the Brotherhood in hopes of regaining his sight as well as the Empire of Honor he was never really able to see.


{{:Kael Fayne/PartOne}}
{{:Kael Fayne/PartTwo}}

== Personality and Traits ==
{{Quote|I guess you could say I'm a throwback.|Kael, making a subtle joke about his Pre-Clone War origin and beliefs}}

Kael is at his heart a philosopher-warrior, or Paladin, being raised by his father Soren to "Follow virtues, not men." However, unlike his passive father, Kael is more of an authoritarian, becoming a soldier and cop rather than a teacher and mentor. Although he wanted to be more pious in his youth, life has gradually worn the Arkanian down as each attempt to attain the "good life" has earned him the opposite. During his imprisonment, Kael began to question whether trying to be honorable was worth the effort considering where it led him. Though still holding onto the same pious goals, the means to such goals have become more vicious as he grows older.

Nevertheless, Fayne's passion for a more honorable society, shaped by the death of his mother and the chaos of the Clone Wars, has produced in him the virtue of selflessness as well as the vice of being rigid and stubborn. While on the one hand Kael would be personally insulted if offered a bribe, his lust for justice has more than once walked the line of becoming maniacal. The Arkanian's time undercover as Nissa Gábor has only exacerbated such tendencies.

Although rarely saying more than a few words, Kael is always heard when he speaks, often waxing poetic with more than a little vulgar sarcasm mixed in. One has to know Kael very well for in order for him to be comfortable enough to say much else, though his friends know well his unique sense of humor.

== Powers and Abilities ==
[[File:kaelPB.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Fayne in his element]]
{{Quote|So, you're a gutter fighter, verd'ika? Good. My favourite.|[[Sashar Arconae|Sashar Erinos Arconae]], commenting on Kael's approach to Hand-to-Hand combat}}

From his earliest days of target practice as a teen, Kael has foremost been known as a brash gunslinger, often dueling with two blasters instead of one. Entering into the Clone Wars, Kael learned how to use various rifles, but stubbornly kept to his pair of [[starwars:DC-15s side arm blaster|DC-15 Sidearms]]. Aided subconsciously by the Force, the Arkanian managed to survive many battles he shouldn't have, being proud of his ability to stand tall and survive in the midst of the hell of war.

Blinded during his carbonite imprisonment, Kael was forced to develop his other senses, especially his ability to sense with the Force. This discipline combined with the Arkanian's iris-less white eyes has concealed Kael's disability to all but those he has disclosed the information to. As a Knight guided directly by the Force, however, Kael has found that his skills with a blaster have only improved since his loss of sight.

Although initially uncomfortable using a bladed weapon and especially one attached to the [[starwars:Jedi Order|Jedi Order]], the gunslinger soon learned to appreciate the Knightly nature of lightsaber combat. Under the tutelage of Angelo Dante, Kael has taken a particular interest in mastering the defensive form of [[Soresu]].

As polished as his skills with various weapons are, Kael is more of a straight forward brawler when it comes to unarmed combat, having learned most of his skills in barely lit cantinas and and even darker back alleys. Some go as far as to say Kael is more proud of being able to take a beating and survive than to dish out a beating and win. Though laughing at such a charge, Kael has never denied it.

Other than his combat abilities, Kael is also a decent engineer, capable slicer, and even a fair pilot. He cannot, however, cook or clean.

KaelFayne: Restoring what was lost

{{Transclusion|[[Kael Fayne]] - [[Kael Fayne/PartOne]] - [[Kael Fayne/PartTwo]]}}
<onlyinclude>
==== '''A Bittersweet Victory''' ====
{{Quote|I fear I have labored to give birth to a stillborn child.|Kael Fayne}}

As the Clone Wars drew to a close, Kael found himself attached to one of several [[starwars:Venator-class Star Destroyer|Venator-class Star Destroyers]] over [[starwars:Cato Neimoidia|Cato Neimoidia]] during the [[starwars:Second Battle of Cato Neimoidia|second battle]] for control of the planet. The young Lieutenant was in the midst of storming a [[starwars:Providence-class carrier/destroyer|Providence-class carrier]] when the infamous [[starwars:Order 66|Order 66]] was issued, leaving him unaware of the event until after the newly christened [[starwars:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]] issued the droid deactivation signal that ultimately ended the conflict.

Although he had learned to dislike many of the pompous Jedi, Kael did hold a degree of respect for [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] [[starwars:Plo Koon|Plo Koon]] with which he was serving on Cato Neimoidia. The Arkanian found it hard to believe the stern yet compassionate [[starwars:Kel Dor|Kel Dor]] would be a part of any coup attempt. Despite his approval of the [[starwars:New Order|New Order]] in terms of a political system, Kael began to worry subconsciously that the reigns had been handed to the wrong man. It would not be long before this worry became well founded.

Nonetheless, Kael and his men were proud of their service and victory. Perhaps the greatest achievement in Kael's mind was the extremely low percentage of men lost for a Militia unit. Though the Lieutenant would never take the credit himself, most of his men chalked up their success to Kael's obsessive planning and willingness to dig deep into his own meager pockets to provide his platoon with the right armor and other equipment.

=== '''Life After the Clone Wars (19 - 16 BBY)''' ===
==== '''I, Terrorist''' ====
{{Quote|I fought for an Empire of Honor, not of Fear. Damn you for making me push away my conscience yet again.|Kael Fayne}}

While the Grand Army of the Republic was reconstituted under the new Imperial Banner, the Republic Militias were dissolved entirely, deemed too unruly to leave intact. On the contrary, their members were soon absorbed into various subsections of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Empire]] according to their individual skillsets. Several of Kael's peers within the [[starwars:Imperial Military|Imperial Military]] offered him a place within their squads, promising they could bribe enough folks to overlook the fact that he wasn't a pure Human, but [[starwars:near-Human|near-Human]]. Nevertheless, Kael would have to dye his hair, wear iris-inserts, and hope no one would notice his four-clawed gloves. When Kael saw himself in the mirror, he simply couldn't stop laughing long enough to put on the helmet, which he had refused to wear during the War by claiming he couldn't see in it.

Certain agents within the Empire, however, found Kael's non-stereotypical features desirable. Not wanting their deeds to be traceable, representatives from the [[starwars:Commission for the Preservation of the New Order|Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR)]] asked Fayne to carry out "missions of intrigue" in order to provide "unique political leverage" against those who still resisted the New Order. These agents promised promotions to positions of prominence and influence in exchange for the Arkanian's service. Going against his better judgment, Kael accepted.

The first few missions were harmless enough. Kael never minded putting the squeeze on still influential ex-Confederates during back-alley diplomatic meetings, or blowing up a senator's private property just to send a message. Breaking into government buildings, business complexes, and even private homes to find or plant incriminating information was all a part of the job. Even setting up the occasional false-flag terrorist event in the name of the opposition was acceptable, so long as the damage was more for show than for real. Most of the victims deserved it, Kael told himself. However, as the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] continued to reveal his nature, so did the COMPNOR, demanding more sensational results from their agents. During a mission to kidnap the son of a particularly stubborn anti-New Order advocate, Fayne simply lost his nerve and let the kid go free. After a heated, vulgar argument with his COMPNOR contact, Kael was relieved of his duties and sent on his way home to Arkania.

==== '''Starting Over From the Beginning''' ====
[[File:dirtyKael.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kael as Nissa Gábor]]
{{Quote|Am I Kael pretending to be Nissa, or Nissa pretending to be Kael?|Kael reflecting on how he had changed over the years undercover}}

At first, returning home proved a wise move for Kael's overall mental health. He was welcomed home by friends, family, and random acquaintances as a hero. Soren, having spent the Clone Wars attempting to champion Arkania's nonintervention, was nonetheless proud of the way Kael fought and took care of his men. Both father and son shared a common opinion of the Emperor, though Kael was glad to hear the local Imperial bureaucracy was actually very helpful in establishing order.

As Kael made the rounds reuniting with old friends, many of his former contacts within Arkanian Civil Authority encouraged him to start over where he had left off and become a cop. Several gangs, mostly composed of young punks wanting to resist the new authority of the Empire, had been sharpening the edge of Arkania's organized crime syndicate. A midnight visit from his old girlfriend, Sybella, showed Kael the fruit of the current crime situation as the now drug-addicted and sickly prostitute made a pass at him before simply asking for money.

Wanting to make the best use of his abilities, Kael promoted his war reputation as leverage to join Civil Authority as an undercover gangster known as "Nissa Gábor". Being a cop without being a cop proved useful, allowing the former Marine to brandish dual blasters at will to make rival gangs disappear as he undermined the lead syndicate from within. "Nissa" soon became a curse word amongst many gangsters, all of which were growing fearful that their deaths would add to his reputation as a cold and calculated killer. Kael fed on the fear, becoming more and more vicious with each passing day until he began to question whether he was role-playing at all.

==== '''No Good Deed Left Unpunished''' ====
{{Quote|I may be guilty of many things, but not this.|Kael defending himself while on trial}}

As Kael delved deeper into the criminal underworld, however, he soon discovered that more and more of his peers within Civil Authority were on the payroll of various gangs, turning a blind eye while taking bribes on the side to "supplement their income." Scandalized by the revelation of traitors within Civil Authority, Fayne began to slip the incriminating evidence to his direct superior, [[starwars:Security Master|Security Master]] Carreth Olin. Olin, more often than not, acted on the information and disciplined the guilty in secret.

However, it was not long before Kael discovered that the Security Master himself was on the take. While drinking heavily at one of the syndicate's private parties, the undercover cop received a call on his comlink from Sybella, begging for help. Unsure of how she even knew to contact him, Kael nonetheless comforted his ex and told her he was on the way. Upon arriving at Sybella's apartment, Kael heard a single blaster round go off before breaking in by force. A mere second after Kael had discovered the prostitute's lifeless frame, Civil Authority arrived and arrested the dangerous gangster known as Nissa Gábor on charges of murder.

Kael was kept far from the public eye during the rather private trial. To what public cared, it was just a case of a degenerate gangster snuffing out a prostitute rather than paying her outright. Kael's court appointed lawyer accepted a plea bargain without his client's knowledge, sentencing the former Marine to life without parole.

==== '''A Hall of Mirrors Built by Liars''' ====
{{Quote|In this hall of mirrors, built by liars, I am a pale reflection of myself.|A lyric Kael often repeated to himself while in prison}}

Entering the city of [[starwars:Adascopolis|Adascopolis']] maximum security prison, Fayne was greeted by two diametrically opposed groups: one a collection of gangsters he had helped put away, the other a collection of those like Kael who were put under to keep them quiet. Kael's new reputation as Nissa Gábor alienated him from the latter group, whereas the gangsters knew the truth but refused to talk. Just as Kael's identity was confused in the minds of others, so was it confused within his own. Kael began to question whether doing what he thought was right was worth it in the end, receiving many beatings at the hands of the imprisoned gangsters.

==== '''Encased in Ice; The Seeing Blind''' ====
{{Quote|It feels like I'm dying...every time...|Kael, reporting on how it feels to be frozen in carbonite}}

Tiring of the cowardly and wearisome gang beatings, Kael began to plot the downfall of the gangsters imprisoned with him. After several bodies were found either strangled or bludgeoned to death in the showers or other private areas, the cause was obvious despite the lack of clear evidence. The prison's warden, not able to punish Kael directly, opted to "donate" the lifer and his body to science. Fayne was thus handed over to [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]], a medical supply and technology corporation that dabbled in a variety of interesting areas, including [[starwars:cloning|cloning]]. Because of the dangerous nature of the prisoner, scientists from Arkanian Micro chose to utilize Kael's body to test [[starwars:Carbon freezing|carbon freezing]] techniques and their applications for suspending the sickly in animation until cures could be found.

Lasting for 47 years from 15 BBY to 32 ABY, Kael was frozen in carbonite while said scientists studied the results, letting the innocent victim out once a year for a week's worth of evaluations. The yearly release and reimmersion into the carbonite soon began to mess with Fayne's already disturbed psyche. Each year, Kael's vision returned slower until it failed to return at all. The blind youth was completely detached from the universe, only managing to pick up hints of various rumors throughout the galaxy. The Battle of Yavin, of Hoth, of Endor, the New Republic, the Vong...only whispers in Kael's ears as electrodes were attached and detached from his naked body.

However, as Kael's sense of sight diminished, a new sense that had been buried deep in his subconscious began to emerge: the Force. What had only aided him slightly during gunfights now came to the fore as the blind man found new eyes with which he could "sense" his surroundings. Kael chose to keep this knowledge to himself, hoping to use it to surprise his captors and escape in time.

==== '''A Fire For the Long Winter''' ====
{{Quote|I have to admit, you're much cuter when you're stuttering from the cold.|Sala}}

During the second year of Kael's carbonite imprisonment, a new scientist, a young [[starwars:human|human]] woman named Sala, was transferred in from one branch of Arkanian Micro to assist in the lab where Fayne was being stored. The scientist's beauty caught Kael off guard as he was thawed out for the second time, causing the somewhat delirious prisoner to make feeble attempts at flirtation.

At first, Sala found the conversation entertaining, helping to pass the time and keep the prisoner distracted during examinations. As the years passed by, the assistant began to look forward to examining Kael, growing attached to his simple charm and feeling sympathy for his failing health. Often, when other scientists wanted to perform more extreme tests on Fayne, Sala would offer to do them herself, creating false reports rather than subjecting Kael to any further harm. Likewise, after learning a little bit about Kael's childhood, Sala often had a few pieces of candy for the prisoner each year he was released.

After several weeks of conversations spanning the course decades, Kael trusted Sala enough to tell her the full story of his imprisonment, taking several more years before she began to believe him fully. Sala strongly desired to free Kael, asking him how she could help, or who she could contact. Kael refused, not wanting any harm to come to the kind scientist who was now approaching the age of 70. Fortunately for the now-blind test subject, Sala proved stubborn and did not listen.

==== '''A Sith Never Forgets a Friend''' ====
{{Quote|I knew our first meeting wasn't by chance. Now, I know why.|[[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae]]}}

In the year [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|32 ABY]], Kael would be released from the carbonite for the last time. As the ice melted away, the Arkanian's ears were flooded with voices begging for mercy, followed by several pairs of thuds and grunts. A different, somewhat familar aura could be sensed by the prisoner in his cell as he began to reach out with the Force. Before he could react, the familiar presence threw Kael over his shoulder, telling the blind man to keep quiet.

Surviving a few brief firefights, Kael and his rescuer made it to freedom outside the once heavily guarded labs. By then introductions were unnecessary as Kael thanked [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae]] for his help. The [[Shaevalian]] refused Kael's thanks, saying he was only returning a long past due favor. It was then revealed that Sala had spent the last year searching for Brent, who she had learned about from Kael's stories. Sala had believed the Shaevalian might possibly be the only one still physically capable of a successful jailbreak. Kael, under an assumed alias, would later send Sala a bouquet of flowers and a card of thanks filled with vague references only he and she would pick up on. Anything more, Kael believed, would cause her more harm than good.

Before departing, Brent revealed to Kael that he was now a [[Sith]] of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], and offered to bring him in as an initiate to develop his abilities further. Believing only he and his father knew of his potential, Kael was surprised to learn that his fellow Clone War Veteran could perceive his Force aura. Knowing such a decision wasn't one to be made in haste, Brent told Kael he would return in a week to receive the young man's answer.

==== '''Waking From a 47 Year Long Nightmare''' ====
{{Quote|Wait, what? You mean, of all the people Palpatine had killed on a whim, he never laid a finger on Jar Jar Binks?|Kael, learning recent history from a library droid}}

Freed of his prison of ice and roaming the streets of Adascopolis along with the rest of the homeless, Kael was starved for information about life on the outside. He quickly learned all the precise details regarding the rumors he had only heard in passing. He was astonished that the [[starwars:Luke Skywalker|son of Vader]] proved to be the Empire's undoing. He mourned the fact that the Republic was swinging the pendulum of galactic government back to the mob rule that had reigned before the Empire. He regretted not being able to serve the legendary [[starwars:Thrawn|Grand Admiral Thrawn]], and yet was glad to never have seen the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Vong]] in full force.

Perhaps one of the most devastating revelations was also one of the most expected: Kael's father, Soren, had passed away while his son was in prison. The happiness of being free soon gave way to remorse as Kael reflected on the fact that his father never knew what had happened to him. However, in a impromptu reunion with family members he barely knew, Kael was encouraged by various stories of how highly Soren had spoken of him. The final and greatest comfort was knowing Soren had lived to see his life's work, pushing for Arkanian independence, had become reality in part as Arkania had refused to join the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]].

Ultimately, however, the galaxy Kael remembered no longer existed. Although physically and mentally in his mid twenties, Fayne thought as an old man, longing for yesteryear and the Empire that could have been. Sadly, Kael knew he wasn't the "Knight" he had felt he was during the Clone Wars anymore. He would have to learn to see more clearly with his "new eyes" before he could ever call himself such a term again. Thus, orphaned into a galaxy returning to chaos, the Arkanian chose to leave his home planet of Arkania in search of the training he could use to help restore order in the galaxy as a whole, as well as in himself.

==== '''The Shadow Academy and Scholae Palatinae (INI-PRT)''' ====
[[File:Csp-logo2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Clan Scholae Palatinae]]
{{Quote|Master Fayne, I can continue reading, but really, the others have already gone to bed!|One of the Shadow Academy's [[starwars:C-3PO|C-3PO]] units}}

Upon passing the initial tests regarding Force potential given to all recruits, Kael was soon granted the rank of [[Initiate]] and transferred aboard the '''''[[Arcanum]]''''', the mobile home and flagship of the [[Shadow Academy]]. Fayne instantly felt at home as familiar sounds, namely the rhythmic marching of combat boots, flooded his senses with memories before the war. Although many regarded him at a disadvantage because of his blindness, Kael's intrinsic obsession with studying and training led him to stand out amongst his peers. Each lesson in the Force opened more the blind Initiate’s "new eyes", creating in him a further thirst for more. Such a devotion to his own personal study and training naturally led the new Initiate to embrace the [[Obelisk|Obelisk Order]].

Kael's eagerness soon impressed many, leading him to be promoted to the rank of [[Apprentice]] and granting him the ability to join a [[Clan]]. It was not long before Emperor [[Thran Occasus]], [[Consul]] and leader of then Royal Clan of [[Scholae Palatinae]], visited the Academy in search of new Prospects for his Empire. Having studied the Arkanian's history before approaching him, Thran presented a convincing case for joining the Empire before telling Kael there was candy inside his personal shuttle for all new recruits. Not unsurprisingly, Kael was sold.

Arriving on then [[House]] [[Dorimad Sol]]'s base planet of [[Caina]], the new Jedi Prospect felt as though he had returned home as the icy breeze reminded him of Arkania. Fayne had spent the trip studying the Royal Clan, being confirmed in his decision as he learned more how Scholae Palatinae retained much of Imperial traditions.

Having become accustomed to being blind and relying on his other senses, Kael once more began to pick up his blasters and resumed combat training, finding even greater efficiency than when he could see the more he augmented the Force to his natural instincts. Constant training as well as studying via remote in the Shadow Academy earned Kael several quick promotions, attracting the attention of [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], the Duchess of Scholae Palatinae. Having heard of the Duchess' reputation within the Clan, Kael was pleased to accept her proposal of [[Scholae Palatinae Master Student Program|Apprenticeship]].

==== '''Spoils of War (PRT-GRD)''' ====
[[File:sta.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Anteian Cross awarded to Kael Fayne]]
{{Quote|My every breath tastes like blaster fumes. My injury has only made me more hungry for battle.|Commander Fayne}}

As Kael attained to the rank of [[Protector]], the news of a [[Rite of Supremacy]] being declared on Salas V immediately interrupted his training. Not quite sure of the significance of the event, the Arkanian suddenly found himself on a foreign war zone fighting with the [[2nd Caina Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|33rd Legion]], better known as the Crimson Knights. The initial battles were fierce and merciless, as incompetence led to countless, unnecessary deaths. Having endeared himself to many of the light hearted Troopers who had fallen, Kael refused to fight under the unit's Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Thilvera. Upon being confronted with charges of treason, Fayne challenged the pompous Commander to a duel, which led to the Protector slaying Thilvera and taking her place. Fearful of possible reprisals, Kael ordered his troops not to report to Clan or House leadership on the matter, saying he would do so when the time was right. The Arkanian's respect among the common soldier led each to keep this charge.

Even though his only tactical training had been through studying history, Kael's common sense and Clone War experience allowed him to be a reliable Commander. The Crimson Knights won several battles under his command, including handing two crushing defeats to the forces of [[Plagueis|Clan Plagueis]]. Nearing the end of the conflict, the 33rd Legion was specifically called in for cavalry support by Clan leadership on the behalf of two other legions who were engaged against Clan Plagueis. Although the Crimson Knights managed to cover many of the retreating forces, Kael was struck in the chest by a random blaster bolt, taking him out of the battle for the time being. After immediate medical treatment, Commander Fayne returned to the battle field. This act, considered a [[starwars:Jedi_trials#Trial_of_the_Flesh|Trial of the Flesh]], further cemented the young man's trust among the Legion, and earned the Protector a field promotion to [[Guardian]].

==== '''To Kill an Emperor (GRD-JH)''' ====

{{Quote|Surprised? I always use a double when I know that woman is in town. And do you know how much effort goes into finding a double that looks this good?|[[Thran Occasus]], revealing who Kael actually killed}}

As the combat forces of Clan Scholae Palatinae left Salas V for the [[Cocytus System]], the revelation of Kael's usurpation and subsequent heroics was made to Clan leadership. Kael, expecting to be disciplined or killed outright, was awarded an [[Anteian Cross]] by the Royal Clan along with several other accolades from the [[Dark Council]], including the title of [[Spoils of War|Champion of the Rite]]. Although glad to make it out alive, the newly promoted Guardian was left hollow by how many had died just so his Clan could finish next to last. His master, as well, became withdrawn after the conflict and his training became stagnant.

When Ras finally reestablished contact with Kael, she came to him with an offer that peaked his interest. Most of the blame for the disaster on Salas V was being laid at the feet of Scholae Palatinae's playboy Consul and Emperor, Thran Occasus. Ras' clever plan was for her apprentice to sneak past the [[Judecca#Imperial Palace|Imperial Palace's]] security, which was lax after the Rite, and place a pressure-triggered bomb under the Consuls' favorite pleasure bed. Ras, knowing well the kind of women Thran liked to entertain, would then hire two prostitutes to lure the Consul back to the Palace for a night that would be of want for sleep. The plan seemed to have succeeded while Kael watched from afar as an explosion sent the Palace's white walls in chunks toward the heavens. However, as Kael retreated to his speeder, Occasus was waiting for him, revealing that he had used a double that night. After beating the Guardian mercilessly for several moments, Thran finally relented, stating that Jedi with such potential as Kael's would be necessary to rebuild the Royal Clan's reputation.

Ironically, the event would later be used to recommend Kael's promotion to the rank of [[Jedi Hunter]]. Even more ironic, Thran and Kael, who are rather polar opposites of one another, are now friends.

==== '''A New Master (JH)''' ====

{{Quote|Many people tend to be difficult, elusive, hard to figure out. So it is with this one. But whatever he is, it would be a shame to waste him.|[[Robin Hawk]]}}

Worried that Ras' lack of attention may waste one of her Jedi's potential, [[Quaestor]] [[Robin Hawk]] soon adopted Kael as her own Apprentice. Tutelage at the hands of the Quaestor officially solidified Kael's place as a rising star within the Royal Clan. Kael's intense training regimen was soon renewed with his new Master proving selfless in taking time to impart her knowledge. Although uncomfortable with the idea of laying aside his blasters, Kael also began studying lightsaber combat under Robin, having earned his [[Training Lightsabers|training saber]] long ago but never being taught in its use.

It was also during this time that Robin lent her Apprentice to Brent Ligur Victae for a scouting mission to further catalog information concerning the Cocytus System. Although a few of the local moons were friendly, most proved dangerous, testing the Jedi Hunter's mettle with numberous [[starwars:Jedi_trials#Trial_of_Courage|Trials of Courage]]. Nonetheless, Kael managed to bring back extensive reports concerning several moons, including [[Gressil]], [[Sereia]], [[Barbatos]], [[Astaroth]], and [[Vetis]].

Impressed with her Apprentices' continual growth, Robin began to give Kael more and more important tasks, some of which led others to refer to Kael as the "secret [[Aedile]]". Eventually, Robin tasked Kael with the creation of his own lightsaber. Kael spent a solid month collecting the various parts for his hilt, choosing a blue [[starwars:Adegan Crystal|Adegan crystal]] combined with the more common [[starwars:Nova crystal|Nova crystal]] as the focusing crystals. The end result was a hilt that was simple yet elegantly crafted, lending itself to easy maintenance while at the same time reflecting its owner's Knightly nobility.

Upon reviewing her Apprentice's new hilt, Robin revealed to Kael that a call had gone out from the [[Combat Master]] of the [[Antei Combat Centre]] requesting all [[Journeymen]] who wanted to prove themselves to take part in a grand tournament. The Master then promised her Apprentice that this trial, a [[starwars:Jedi_trials#Trial_of_Skill|Trial of Skill]], would be the last in his quest for Knighthood. Taking his newly crafted hilt back, Fayne promised his Master victory.

Beginning with 18 combatants, the Journeyman Tournament proved to be every bit of the trial Robin had promised. Kael passed through the first round with relative ease, only meeting significant resistance as the second round pitted him against two fighters at the same time. The Arkanian escaped round two with more cuts and bruises than he could count, entering into the final round proud but hurting. The Trial of Skill soon gave way to a [[starwars:Jedi_trials#Trial_of_Spirit|Trial of Spirit]] as Kael faced his last two opponents, one of which was already a [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. Nevertheless, Fayne's unbreakable resolve and shear cunning allowed him to win the day, bestowing glory upon his Clan and finally earning him the rank of Knight.

==== '''Aedileship to Present Day (DJK)''' ====
[[File:Dante_Older_Armor.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Angelo Palpatine Dante; Kael's foremost lightsaber instructor]]
{{Quote|Always remember your honorable opponents and what you learned from the battle...|[[Angelo Dante]]}}

After a changing of the guard within Dorimad Sol, Kael's master was replaced at the position of Quaestor by [[Angelo Dante]]. An Imperial's Imperial, Dante was highly respected by the Arkanian Knight who sought out the new Quaestor both for general mentorship as well as advanced lightsaber training. The fellow Obelisk more than obliged, choosing to appoint Kael to the position [[Aedile]] of Dorimad Sol.

Kael immediately began to see fruits from the mentorship, learning much about leadership and command from the former stormtrooper. Dante, a master of [[Soresu]], also imparted his intimate knowledge of Form III to his minion, training him in hours of intense lightsaber combat.

As the two Obelisks began to put their house in order, the Spring Games: Feast of Victory were announced. The Games, which pitted Dorimad Sol against its sister [[House]] [[Acclivis Draco]], were to be an inner-clan celebration of Scholae's recent success against the terrorist group "The Cause". The seasonal games themselves featured contests of skill and bravery to determine who would be the first House of the Royal Clan as well as the individual Champions of the Clan. The new Aedile saw the games as a way to establish himself and to lead by example. Dorimad Sol dominated the games, with Kael being the lead point man of the Feast. Of the nine games, Kael won first place in five of them, earning four [[Crescents]] with Amethsyt Stars, two with Emerald Stars, one with Sapphire Stars, and a [[Steel Cross]].

However, shortly after the Spring Games, [[Grand Master]] [[Muz]] and the Dark Council announced the Clans would be reconstituted into Houses. All current Quaestors and Aediles were relieved of their commands with Consuls and Proconsuls taking their place.

Currently, Kael Fayne is attached to [[Battleteam]] [[Nightstalkers]] under the command of his former Quaestor, Angelo Dante.</onlyinclude>

==== '''The Dark Lady; The Man of Peace''' ====
{{Quote|If you're the wine, I'll be the glass.|Soren Fayne, to his would be bride}}

Kael's parents, Soren and Alena Fayne, shared a love whose level of passion was only overshadowed by its simple implausibility. Their story began well over 20 years before the fall of the Republic. Alena was a [[starwars: Prophets_of_the_Dark_Side|Prophetess of the Darkside]] who had infiltrated the [[starwars:Galactic Republic|Republic]] to serve as a political advisor to various Senators, rubbing elbows with many famous bureaucrats as she spied for her Order. However, while setting up a network of audio bugs in a highly trafficked [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] hotel, Alena was spotted by an unnamed Gran Jedi and his human apprentice. The Dark Lady was forced to kill the Gran in order to prevent him from revealing her secrets. Alena then fled Coruscant with local security hot on her trail, leaving the apprentice to mourn his Master.

[[File:Arkania_surface.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Surface of Arkania]]
Not wanting to lead the [[starwars:Jedi Council|Jedi Council]] back to the Dark Prophets, Alena sought out a planet where she could hide out until the time came when her skills could be used to their fullest. [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]], an icy planet located in former [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and disoriented with local squabbles, was considered to be her best bet. There Alena took a job as a secretary for Fayne Diamonds, a reasonably successful diamond mining company that was family owned and run outside the confines of the various mining guilds. Her skills in management and diplomacy were soon discovered, leading to her eventual promotion to Production Manager.

At an annual company party, Alena was introduced to her future husband, who proved to be the lone Fayne who had chosen a life outside of the mining industry. Considered the outcast of the family, Soren spent many years in school, earning doctorates in the fields of philosophy, history, and political theory. After a few moments of small talk amongst other acquaintances, the conversation soon turned to the topic of intergalactic and regional politics due to a passing remark made about the recent [[starwars:Arkanian Revolution|Arkanian Revolution]]. Since the failed Revolution had only occurred a year prior, emotions still ran high on both sides, with passion ruling over reason and clarity of though. However, being a political skeptic and peaceful noninterventionist, Soren contended that neither side was worth fighting for, and that the ignorant [[starwars:Jedi Order|Jedi]] had been used to prop up a disgraceful regime. Even though she held no love for the Jedi, Alena's more authoritarian nature led her to argue that Arkania was under Republic jurisdiction and thus the Jedi and [[starwars:Arkanian Dominion|Arkanian Dominion]] were right to enforce their will. Although the informal debate was ultimately inconsequential to the two parties, both Soren and Alena were forced by their intellectual egos and subconscious attraction to continue. Within a few minutes, the two had to be separated for the sake of the other guests.

Despite his initial distaste for Alena's beliefs and political philosophy, Soren found himself frequenting the main offices of Fayne Diamonds more often, vainly defending himself by saying he wanted to spend more time with his family. After several more stimulating conversations with the attractive Production Manager, Soren finally managed to convince Alena to accept an offer to dinner at a local restaurant, saying he would like to talk to her outside the office setting. Even though she did not believe as he did, Alena began to respect Soren's philosophy of peace the more she saw how it permeated even the smallest of details in his life. It was a peace that she had longed for subconsciously, and being with Soren satisfied that need. Two years of such dates passed by before Soren finally popped the question. Alena, a woman once devoted to the [[starwars:dark side|Dark Side]] above all else, was surprised herself as she accepted without a thought.

After several years of marriage, more than one of Alena's abiding contacts within the Prophets of the Dark side began to speak of the possibility of a coming Golden Age for the Sith. They told Alena that they had made contact with a [[starwars:Palpatine|Grand Sith]] who would avenge their kind of the Jedi once and for all. Accordingly, they offered the former Dark Lady a chance to return to her rightful place and be among the Grand Sith's new secret order at its very inception. Alena began to struggle to find a means of telling Soren, who she did indeed love, that she wasn't really who he thought she was. However, as fate would have it, a routine doctor's appointment revealed to her that she carrying a new life within her womb. After several days of soul searching, Alena embraced her new life on Arkania and shared the good news with her husband. The Prophets, as one might expect, were very displeased with the decision.

=== '''Childhood (40 - 27 BBY)''' ===
==== '''A Child is Born''' ====
{{Quote|He has your eyes!|Alena Fayne, joking about Kael's Arkanian eyes}}

Kael was born in the harsh winter of [[starwars:40 BBY|40 BBY]]. Soren and Alena instantly fell in love with the child and, as gushing new parents often do, swore to friends and family that he was the smartest and cutest baby they had ever seen. Each passing day of nurturing her newborn child confirmed Alena in her decision to stay. This experience along with the influence of her husband caused the former Dark Lady to drift more and more away from the beliefs of her past. Although she wanted to stay at home more, Alena was often required to work overtime at Fayne Diamonds due to the incompetency of her brother-in-laws while Soren continued to increase in fame and influence as a political activist and philosopher.

As hundreds of smaller conflicts began to weaken the once mighty Republic, a few highly motivated and crafty civic leaders began to champion the idea of Arkania leaving the Republic once and for all. Foremost amongst these leaders was Soren himself, who began to receive death threats and praises alike as he made the rounds on local [[starwars:Holonet|holonews]] networks. Despite his soft voice and careful use of reason, Soren's arguments often led to outrage when they could not be challenged otherwise. Even though a couple attempts were made on his life, Soren only managed to grow in popularity after each incident.

==== '''A Mother is Taken''' ====
{{Quote|Listen...Listen to your father...I'll miss you...|Alena Fayne to Kael upon her death}}

A month removed from Kael's third birthday, an envoy of diplomats, including two Jedi, were sent to Arkania in an attempt to sway Soren to change his mind on the issue of Arkanian independence. Unbeknownst to Soren, one of the Jedi was the Apprentice to the Master his wife had slain years before. As was often the case in such debates, Soren frustrated the envoys, Jedi included, to the point that they stormed out of one meeting without saying goodbye. During the negotiation’s brief hiatus, pro-Republic henchmen who were not confined by the Jedi's moral code began digging into Soren's past to see if they could find anything to use against him. The philosopher proved to be clean. His blood relatives, likewise, were only guilty of minor, negligible offenses. However, in comparing Alena's characteristics against those in the criminal database on Coruscant, the henchmen found their possible dirt.

Although they were not sure Alena was the murderer of the Gran Jedi Knight, the allegation alone would be enough to diminish Soren's influence. The henchmen brought the information before the Master's human apprentice, now a Knight himself, who told them he would "take it from here". Rather than use the information as blackmail, the Jedi Knight gave into a long harbored desire for revenge. The Jedi justified it to himself that allowing a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to live only invited trouble, and handing her the advantage of surprise would prove folly as well. This deduction convinced him to attack Alena when her guard would be at its most relaxed point. As she was walking Kael to preschool, the mother and her child were suddenly ambushed by two unmarked gunmen and the Jedi himself. Alena still kept her saber on her at all times, but nonetheless was caught off guard and received a blast to the shoulder and to the side before being able to defend herself. The former Dark Lady managed to deflect enough blasts back to kill the gunmen, but not before little Kael was hit himself in the side by a stray shot. A horrified and enraged Alena launched herself at the Jedi Knight, ignoring her wounds as she quickly overpowered her last attacker and killed him as well. Abandoning all thought of herself and her own injuries, Alena rushed over to Kael and began to use [[starwars:the Force|the Force]] to heal her fatally wounded child. The former Prophetess lived only long enough to see that she had been successful.

==== '''A Father is Made''' ====
{{Quote|It's just you and me, kiddo. I apologize in advance.| Soren Fayne}}

The impact of Alena's death shook Soren to his very core, causing him to spend many months blaming himself for the attack. The release of details about Alena's past only devastated him more. He cycled through a barrage of emotions: regret, betrayal, depression, and back again. Finally, it was after a conversation with his father, Kael's grandfather, that he began to realize that she wasn't a monster and this was due mostly to his influence. In her death, Alena had proven who she really was, and this gave Soren peace.

A few weeks after Alena's funeral, a separate envoy of Jedi visited with Soren and apologized for their Knight's vengeful ambush. After much soul searching, Soren was able to forgive the Jedi. However, when the envoy offered to take Kael in and train him in the Force, the widowed philosopher asked them to leave using vulgar words rarely found on his lips.

With his influence and voice somewhat diminished, Soren threw his all into fathering his now motherless child, who began to have nightmares about the event that continue to this day. The widower worried that his devotion to the field of philosophy would prevent him from really connecting to the child. He was trapped into thinking in syllogisms and abstract categories. As Kael began to talk, Soren found himself trying to break down deep philosophical and ethical concepts into simple ideas and parables that his son could understand. He was surprised at how easily Kael understood what he was saying, leading them to bond more as Kael also reminded his father what it was like to play.

As an aside, Soren also found another means of connecting with his son: candy. The new father would travel far and wide, going out of his way to find exotic candies to bring back home whether he was traveling on Arkania or across the galaxy. Kael harbors a particular fondness for candy to this day.

=== '''Adolescence (27 - 22 BBY)''' ===
==== '''Those Awkward, Formidable Years''' ====
{{Quote|That wine glass line was so lame...|Sybella to Kael upon the latter's use of his father's [[#The Dark Lady; The Man Of Peace|pickup line]]}}

Alena's death continued to hang like a shadow over her otherwise happy son, causing Kael to develop a very shy, quiet personality as he became more self conscious in his teen years. Even though the boy was well known for his ability to make others laugh, he often found it hard to let others get too close. His mother's death implanted in his subconscious the idea that the universe was cold, arbitrary and chaotic. Thus, if there was to be order, it would have to be created or imposed from an outside force. Though operating on a subconscious level, this belief drove Kael in many areas of his life, even to the point of becoming obsessive-compulsive over things under his control. However, the more he succeeded, the more the belief proved a virtue rather than a vice.

Despite tendencies to be a closed off, Kael soon became attracted to his childhood friend, Sybella. A thin, hotheaded [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]], Sybella always had a soft spot for Kael because of the death of his mother and the obvious impact it had on him as he grew older. She was one of the few Kael confided in about his feelings concerning the universe and fate, always managing to say just the right thing to make him feel better about himself. In like respect, Kael always stood up for Sybella against the immature Zeltron-related taunts hurled at her by bullies, making her feel like she was more than what they thought her to be. The two dated from the age of 14 onward, making it a rare occurrence for either to be seen in public without the other.

It was during these very early teen years that Kael was first sent by his father to work in the family's diamond mines. Soren, although never wanting to inherit any stake in the family business, felt he himself had built much character doing similar manual labor when he was the boy's age. Today, Kael credits these many hours of excavation and sifting for his physical toughness and endurance.

==== '''Differences of Opinion''' ====
{{Quote|Follow virtues, my son, not men.|Soren Fayne, instructing his son}}

As a student and part-time employee at Fayne Diamonds, Kael quickly grew in wisdom and stature among his peers. Proving himself to be the son of his father, the young Arkanian developed his own personal love for studying history in particular, as well as political theory. Soren, while managing to write the majority of his beliefs onto Kael's heart, was impressed by his son's ability to hold his own in the debates in which the two differed. Most of these differences were focused not upon the goals of their worldviews, but the means to those goals. While both desired to live in a universe of peace and order, Kael felt his father was too passive and idealistic in his fight for independence from galactic governance, while Soren became concerned with Kael's more impatience, revolutionary approach. These debates became more heated as Kael grew older and started to see the Republic give way to more chaos with each passing year.

Even though his son often stepped over the line in his passionate discourse, Soren's patience often humbled Kael to see the character behind his father's viewpoint. For example, Kael often remarked that a "benevolent dictatorship" would be more desirable and workable than the corrupt Republic, to which Soren would respond by saying that if Kael was that dictator, maybe it would work.

==== '''A Pirate's Gambit''' ====
{{Quote|I tried this mission ages ago...she...that witch. She always knew ahead of time. Damn her...and her magic. But...I heard she had...had been killed. Whoever...did it...did the universe a favor.|Unnamed Pirate, taunting Kael}}

In order to "make the boy into a man", one of Kael's uncles offered to hire him as a cargo pilot for Fayne Diamonds, arguing that the boy had more sense than all the current transport jocks combined and seeing the galaxy would do Kael some good. Although he worried about the possible dangers that could arise, Soren saw the value in giving his son such responsibility. He did, however, make two caveats: Kael could never fly alone or be armed. As his family expected, Kael became one of the more efficient pilots of the fleet, causing many employees to remark that he was "definitely Alena's son as well." The young Arkanian relished the adventure of space flight, enjoying being away from the cold, frigid air on Arkania as he explored exotic planets across the galaxy.

However, in order to meet an important deadline, Kael was once required to fly alone. After a great deal of argumentation, Soren relented, even allowing Kael's uncle to give him a [[starwars:stun blaster|stun blaster]]. Upon leaving a refueling station halfway to his destination, Kael's transport was assailed by a group of [[starwars:pirates|pirates]] who managed to board the ship as the 16 year old hid in a cargo compartment. Instead of waiting to be found, Kael managed to sneak up on the three pirates and disable two of them with his stun blaster. The third attempted to shoot the boy in the back as he fled, but upon hearing the disembodied voice of his mother telling him to get down, Kael evaded the blast and stunned the third pirate as well. As this particular pirate twitched on the ground, he looked up at the boy and, because he had scouted out Fayne Diamonds years before, noticed that he was Alena's son. After the pirate made a snide remark about his mother, Kael withdrew the thief's blaster and killed him. Upon escaping via the [[starwars:Muurian transport|pirate's transport]] with his cargo intact, Kael decided not to tell his father the complete truth of what happened.

The scuffle did, however, bolster Kael's belief that the universe was cold and chaotic, and one must be prepared to establish order himself rather than wait on it to happen naturally. Thus from the age of 16 onward, Kael took a particular interest in learning how to build, maintain, and shoot a variety of blasters. Likewise, he also began to ask his uncles how to fight in hand-to-hand combat. A few trips to the local [[starwars:cantina|cantina]] well past Kael's bedtime taught him perhaps more than he wanted to know.

=== '''Coming of Age (22 - 19 BBY)''' ===
==== '''The Dreams That Don't Come True''' ====
{{Quote|I wish you would just say you hate me. That would make it so much easier.|Kael}}

Desiring to take up a career that pertained to establishing peace and order, Kael enlisted at the local Civil Security Academy only a year prior to the [[starwars:The Battle of Geonosis|Battle of Geonosis]]. Even though he wished for a career more safer and intellectually involved for his son, Soren believed Kael, unlike other power hungry cops, would be a sincere force for good for the citizens of Arkania. Kael's father did, however, worry that his son's choice in women might impede his progress at the Academy.

Sybella, giving into the taunts of her childhood bullies, had by this time become a stripper at the local ski resort, arguing that the money she earned was more than she'd make anywhere else. Kael continued to date her, despite his father's concerns, hoping he could one day convince her to give up such a life. Kael's choice to become a lawman, however, only divided the couple more as Sybella learned of the cop's meager compensation in the face of high risks.

Nevertheless, being comfortable with his choice, Kael finally asked Sybella to marry him during a trip into the mountains with the understanding that she'd have to give up her life in adult entertainment. The Zeltron contended that it was foolish to expect her to act against her nature while at the same time thanking Kael for helping her when they were younger. Kael refused to accept such an answer, becoming angry that she would choose to waste her life for money than spend it with him. In like respect, the hot headed lass rebuked Kael, arguing that he "had no future" and couldn't support a family monetarily or emotionally. On the other hand, she reminded him that Zeltrons were in high demand at any number of resorts across the planet in a variety of adult entertainment vocations. She could use her traits to provide for herself whereas his noble delusion could not. Kael vowed never to speak to Sybella again, dropping her ring in the snow before turning his back on her and leaving.

==== '''In the Presence of Greatness''' ====
{{Quote|You cannot escape who you are, but do not forget who you were and who you can be again. Remember!|Arca Jeth}}

A mere week away from the Battle of Geonosis, Kael was proving to be one of the foremost cadets at the Academy, using his training as a distraction from the tattered remains of his personal life. Although closed to personal interaction, Kael had started attending the worst of local cantinas, sleeping with nameless prostitutes and taking various illicit drugs as a further means of escape. On one such night, Kael was awakened by the call of his comlink while lying intoxicated and without his wallet. His Commanding Officer told him there had been a report of a break-in at [[starwars:Arca Jeth's praxeum| Arca Jeth's Jedi Praxeum Museum]], which was close to Kael's apartment. Forced to investigate the break-in, Kael discovered a lone individual, standing with a red [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] withdrawn. Once the figure turned, Kael saw that it was his mother.

Alena then slashed through Kael, causing immense pain before Kael realized it was only a vision, and his mother transformed into someone else: a fiery redhead with a similar blade. [[Robin Hawk|The Redhead]] slashed forward as well, coming out on the other side as a seven foot tall giant of a man. [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae|The Giant]] followed suit after his attack, turning into an older soldier with blonde hair. [[Angelo Dante|The Soldier]] gave way to [[Ood Bnar Sythe'rae|a Tree]] with inescapable branches before ending with a devilish man with green, reptilian eyes. Each of the six attackers spoke a single word before attacking, forming the taunt "You cannot escape who you are!". Kael vainly withdrew both of his blasters on the [[Thran Occasus|Last Attacker]], who sliced through his wrists before the Arkanian could fire. However, instead of losing his hands, the vision changed and Kael was granted a saber of his own, which he used to strike down the last fiend.

As this foe faded away, a new presence emerged before Kael. The person, assuming the form of a [[starwars:Force Ghost|Force Ghost], was none other than [[starwars:Arca Jeth|Arca Jeth] himself, legendary Arkanian and Master to both [[starwars:Qel-Droma family|Qel-Droma] Brothers. Jeth sought to encourage the youth to forsake the path of self-destruction he had set himself on, lamenting that Kael had not been trained as a Jedi. As a student of history, Kael held a great respect for Jeth, listening to his every word. Arca's last statement, which stuck with Kael more than any other, was for him to be strong because "the universe needs good men now more than ever."

==== '''Joining a Galaxy at War''' ====
{{Quote|A galaxy at war? Never let it be said that I was left out of it.|Kael Fayne}}

Kael reflected on Arca Jeth's words, wondering what to make of the vision until the [[starwars:the Battle of Geonosis|Battle of Geonosis]] finally plunged the galaxy into what became known as the [[starwars:the Clone Wars|Clone Wars]]. It was then that Kael knew what he had to do. When Kael told his father his plans, Soren tried to argue that neither side was really worth fighting for and that he should stay home. Kael agreed, but contended that the war would forever shape the victor and a new, better government may emerge on the other side. Thus, rather than swear allegiance the rather lawless [[starwars:Confederacy of Independent Systems|Confederacy]], the young Arkania left home to take part in the Republic's war effort.

Fearing he would be enlisted as a cook or something worse if he went to official Republic recruitment centers, Kael drifted from one militia group to the next for the first few months of the war. In that time, he learned a variety of skills, serving as a scout, engineer, and slicer among other roles. However, Kael felt he spent most of his time critiquing the militia leaders’ strategery, often raising his voice just enough to get kicked out but not enough to get himself shot. Tactics and discipline had always been a militia's downfall, and it angered Kael to watch his peers die for simple mistakes any student of history and war could avoid. As well, the young Arkanian was growing tired of watching battles from afar, feeling his foremost skill as a gunman was ultimately being wasted.

==== '''Off the Bench; Into the Game''' ====
{{Quote|Hey! Those are our blasters!|Wounded Clone Trooper}}

Nevertheless, the more Fayne completed his objectives, the more important the objectives became. Militia leaders began to covet his skills for particular tasks, even passing his name on to their counterparts in the [[starwars:Grand Army of the Republic|Grand Army]]. Ever searching for more exciting fields of battle, Kael was thrilled when chosen to take part in the Republic's planned [[starwars:Battle of Brentaal IV (Clone Wars)|liberation]] of [[starwars:Brentaal IV|BrentaalIV]]. Being an Arkanian, Kael didn't necessarily appear as distinct soldier for either side. This allowed him to be planted on Brentaal IV as an engineer inside the world's massive defense fortress, which housed both the planetary [[starwars:Deflector shield generator|shield generators]] and [[starwars:ion cannon|ion cannons]].

Fayne spent most of the battle watching over [[starwars:Clone Trooper|Clone Troopers]] as they assaulted the fortress, hacking security cameras to provide pertinent intel as the troops advanced further. In a few hours, the objectives were completed, and the fortress' planetary defenses were disabled. However, the victory did not come without large causalities. As Kael explored the facility to help the wounded and number the dead, he discovered a group of [[starwars:B2 super battle droid|Super Battle Droids]] dragging a giant of a man away as they made their retreat. The Arkanian had caught a glimpse of the large man on the [[starwars:Acclamator I-class assault ship|Acclamator Assault Ship]] they had arrived on, discussing details of the battle with a few distinct set of troopers and an attractive female with white hair. Borrowing two [[starwars:DC-15s side arm blaster|DC-15 Sidearms]] from a pair of wounded Clones, Kael raced to find one of the aforementioned squads and inform them of their friend's capture.

Examining the different insignias of the troops leaving the fortress, Kael finally discovered the blind Clone unit known as Zeta Squad. Before Fayne could finish telling his story to the troops, the white haired woman, calling herself [[Erianna_"Rayne"_Victae|Erianna Rielle]], demanded detailed information on where to find the captured man. Kael refused, saying he wanted to do more than just give intel. Knowing the chances for a successful rescue quickly vanish with time, Rielle relented to let the Arkanian join her as she led the blind troopers on the rescue mission. After a few hours of retracing the captor's steps, Zeta Squadron managed to find and save their friend, who was in the midst of being tortured.

As the former prisoner recouped from his injuries days later, he made a request to see and thank "those who had rescued him." He was surprised to find a stranger in the midst of Zeta Squadron, one whom he himself could sense in the Force as having strong potential. Thus, Kael was introduced to [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae]], aka Brodo, for the first time. Brodo thanked Kael for his help by saying he owed him one, to which the Arkanian responded that he was "just glad he could help."

==== '''From Ship to Ship''' ====
[[File:kaelHero.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kael during the Clone Wars]]
{{Quote|That one isn't going to last long.|A Militia leader, watching Kael dodge blaster fire rather than seek cover}}

After a year of frustration, Kael finally found his place as the war took its toll on the Grand Army of the Republic. It was becoming obvious to all that too many of the well trained but expensive Clone Troopers were being lost to the cheap, numerous [[starwars:Droid Army|droid armies]]. Republic Generals across the galaxy began to covet and horde as many of the troops as they could manage. It was not long before the larger militia groups took their place on the front lines, being used as first-wave defenses sacrificed at the height of chaos in order to save the Clones in reserves. Kael's reputation as a calm minded gunslinger preceded him, earning him the rank of [[starwars:Sergeant|Sergeant]] in one of the militia's [[starwars:Marine|Marine]] Corps.

For the next two years, Kael and his fellow Marines assaulted and captured countless Confederate ships alongside their Clone counterparts, replacing the latter's initial hazing with well deserved respect. The foremost trick of their trade was to storm enemy ships, race to the various control rooms, deactivate self destruct mechanisms, and then [[starwars:Slicer|slice]] the computers for vital intel. Such dangerous missions took a toll on one's nerves as many self-destructs were only turned off with seconds to spare. Kael saw more of the galaxy in this short period than most see in a lifetime, quickly attaining the rank of [[starwars:Lieutenant|Lieutenant]] with a [[starwars:Platoon|platoon]] of 36 Marines under his direct command. Oddly enough, this time proved to be one of happier periods of Kael's life, as he explains in his journal:

<blockquote><i>"My men and I were sown together with stitches and welded together with blaster fire. We stepped out into chaos and left order in our wake. We were Knights in every sense of the word. Even more so than the pompous Jedi that nevertheless always seemed to take center stage. Hell, I even started to like the Clones. They shared much of the same honor as we did, even if their virtues were installed rather than chosen. In this galaxy, that still made them better than most. I was proud to serve with the whole lot of them. 'Surely', I thought, 'if such men were the foundation of a new order, the galaxy will be a better place.'"</i></blockquote></onlyinclude>

Believing his views were being justified in his imprisonment, Soren told his son to forego seeking his freedom and to flee the planet for a better life. Without the influence of his father, Kael went from a being a respectable security officer, to an effective mercenary, to a cold gunman, to worse. Succumbing to the destructive tendencies of his youth, he found himself addicted to painkillers and without a future before being discovered by the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The details of this meeting are as of yet unknown.

=== '''Brotherhood History''' ===
Upon joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Kael was assigned to the [[House Dorimad Sol]] of the [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Although in an unfamiliar environment, Kael quickly began his ascendancy through the [[Journeyman]] ranks by virtue of his studies at the [[Shadow Academy]]. He currently holds the rank of [[Acolyte]].

== History ==
=== '''Before the Brotherhood''' ===
Kael is the son of Soren and Alina Fayne. The Fayne family consists mostly of successful small businessmen in the Perave System. Taking a different route, Soren was a noble, well respected doctor of history and philosophy on his home planet. Kael's mother, though wanting to be more of a housewife, worked on and off as an administrator for her father's diamond mining and transportation fleet. Even though he considers his cousins to be brothers and sisters, Kael is an only child.

As he grew up, Kael proved himself to truly be his father's son in the classroom by displaying a promising intellect and sharp wit. Though, after several failed relationships, Kael illustrated self-destructive tendencies that needed to be curbed by the loving influence of his father.

Due to its relative unimportance in comparison to the diamond rich plant of Arkania, Kael's home planet was under the control of the Empire late into the Republic's ascendancy. However, once 'liberated', the planet's former leaders were hastily executed and replaced by a blood thirsty minority. In the midst of the constant political strife throughout the galaxy, Kael's father began to advocate an increasingly hard line stance towards complete independence from the rest of the galaxy. Even though he only lobbied for neutrality, Soren was placed in prison for life without trial by the Republic's puppet regime. Believing his views were being justified in his imprisonment, Soren told his son to forego seeking his freedom and to flee the planet for a better life. Without the influence of his father, Kael went from a being a respectable security officer, to an effective mercenary, to a cold gunman, to worse. Succumbing to the destructive tendencies of his youth, he found himself addicted to painkillers and without a future before being discovered by the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.
