== History ==
===Secrets and Shadows===
Born to a high ranking official of the Imperial Navy, Kalia's birth was one of secrecy. Her mother had always commanded the respect of those around her, and it was often thought that it was her who should be in command instead of the Admiral. Even more so were there whisperings that she already was. In the open, her mother stood strong at the side of the man she loved, where as in private the veil was lifted and the truths of her pregnancy were known.

In all walks of life there are those prone to gather around a common purpose, even more so in the upper echelons of power. It was to one such society that Kalia's mother belonged. The order, known only through rumor as ''Regendi Domina'', was one of great importance throughout the Imperial society. Her mother, through sheer presence and will, was the head of a branch within the order. This order was made up of women in varying levels of power, but always possessing similar traits and command of those around them.

It was in this home of love and secrets that Kalia grew, knowing only the warmth of her mother that became the primary idol in the child's eyes.

[[File:KaliaPepoi.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kalia Pepoi]]

===A Blossoming Sorrow===
After two years of infancy it came time for Kalia to undergo the ''Divining''. It was a ritual within the order performed by their mystics. During the ritual a child is examined for the specific traits sought by the ''Domina''. It was with great reluctance that her mother relinquished her child to the ritual, her fear and love as a mother temporarily impairing her role as a leader. In the end, her fears were unwarranted as the child passed the ritual with a glowing recommendation that had never before been seen within the order.

With a renewed sense of pride Kalia's mother returned to her care, priming her for her future role. At the same time, Kalia's bond with her father was growing. As a high ranking Admiral he was often away from home for long periods of time. It was these short encounters that fostered her love. It is often said that we want most what we cannot have, and this was ever present between father and daughter. Quickly labelled a "daddy's girl" by family friends Kalia was always attached to her father's hip for his visits. Unfamiliar with raising a daughter, and having secretly hoped for a son, the Admiral found himself teaching this young woman what he would have taught his son. This occurred at the same time her mother was training her for the order.

In this way, as a young girl Kalia soon mastered the basics of survival training, as well as the finer points of the order. Her lessons often involved seduction, wile, history and tactics. An incredibly bright young woman she took to her lessons quickly, moving to the advanced classes with little time wasted.

The order, noting her mother's skills and leadership, called her away on assignment. With great sadness she left, knowing she would return to her family soon. Luckily for Kalia, she wasn't alone long before her father returned home on leave. Once more by her father's side they began a short trip; just the two of them and a small security force. Kalia was giddy with excitement until her world shattered.

As if in slow motion, an explosion tore through the spaceport and the small security team was cut down. It was brutal and efficient, and something Kalia would never forget. Hidden in her father's strong embrace she felt indescribable terror as she heard the fear in her father's voice.

"Go, my blossom, run!"

Without another word he pushed Kalia away, ushering her through the smoke to safety. Running on instinct she flew on her feet, covering her mouth and coughing as the smoke burned her eyes. Without knowing why she turned back, for the briefest of moments, and was greeted with a small opening in the smoke. An opening large enough to give the innocent child a clean view of her father being brutally executed. The scars of that day will forever grip Kalia's mind, but she would bury those wounds so far no one could see them.

===The Red Rose===
[[File:Kalia Summit.png|250px|right|thumb|Kalia as HMR QUA]]After her father's slaying Kalia had put her training to good use. Dropping off the grid she began gathering and organizing everything pertaining to the terrorist attack. She was a being possessed and the only thing that were sate her need for vengeance was those men dead. It didn't take long for her to begin tracking them down, discovering the first straggler still on Naboo. His death was quick, but decidedly unpleasant. Luckily for the others, they had already retreated to their hideout. Unluckily for them, Kalia was able to pull the information from the straggler quite easily.

The order had trained her well, and a young woman is rarely suspected for the act she was about to commit. Conning her way into the hideout she waited patiently, like a viper coiled dangerously around it's prey. At the slightest sign of weakness she struck, enacting the plan that had fostered in her mind for years.

It was here she was discovered by [[Araxis Pepoi Farron|Araxis]], sitting naked in a pool of blood, covered in it's ruby tint. The girl had become a woman, the flower blossoming into a Rose in a pool of blood.

== Equipment and Inventory ==
Kalia is a dancer, gymnast, expert martial artist, marksman, and weapons specialist as well as having extensive espionage training.

The Red Rose uses a variety of equipment invented by scientists and technicians, with later improvements by S.H.A.D.O.W. scientists and technicians. Kalia has been enhanced by biotechnology that makes her body resistant to aging and disease and heals at an above human rate as well as psychological conditioning that suppresses her memory of true events of the past without the aid of specially designed system suppressant drugs. Attempts to do so result in extreme biological reactions, indicated as vomiting and black-outs.

Kalia wears a traditional poison ring bearing a red rose made of rubies and emeralds. It contains pheromones and specific chemical compounds which can cause a "love drunk" feeling.

The Red Rose is also equipped with "nanites", designed to be passed from her body with even the slightest touch. When activated they can incite someone to homicidal rage. A counter form of these were also introduced to her body so as she could neutralize the activated nanites in another.

The nanites serve a dual purpose, also capable of triggering artificial neural pathways within her brain. The result is unpredictable, but most notably resulting in increased congitive function, faster response times, and more efficient methodology.

=== Weapons ===
One Lightsaber, red blade

One Chain Whip

6x Locust knives

=== Accessories ===

== Traits ==
Kalia became a being of anger, consumed by its fiery tendrils and rightly so. Her father's murder struck her in a more lethal manner than any death blow. Through rigorous training her master, [[Araxis Farron]], was able to teach Kalia to channel that anger and mold it into strength. She is smart, efficient, and will not tolerate nonsense of any kind. Her confidence and beauty are tangible tools at her disposal and are often put to use.

It is often learned quickly that one should be careful when telling Kalia what to do. In general, the reaction is rarely kind. She is infuriatingly stubborn and will ensure that she gets her way, one way or another. Despite all this, the Red Rose possesses more than one face. When you make it past the thorns there exists a vulnerable beauty, only known to an exceedingly select few.

To give her a strategic edge Kalia dyes her hair blonde concealing her true hair color (teal). A trait she has inherited from her Zeltron Mother. Her skin tone has a light pink hue but due to her father being human is very subtle.

The '''Pepoi''' Family is a group of members of the Dark Brotherhood, that are located in [[Naga Sadow]]. All who are among the Pepoi Family are extremely loyal to Naga Sadow.

== The Pepoi ==
Much isn't known about the Pepoi family beyond 89 BBY as records have disappeared. In 89 BBY, Ronium Pepoi was born on Coruscant, and was immediately detected by the Jedi and brought to the Jedi temple for further testing. Ronium was given the chance to train under the masters and various other people, learning as much as he could. By the age of thirteen he had become a padawan learner to one of the many Jedi Knights in the order. By the age of twenty five, Ronium had fallen in love with a fellow Jedi, Dari Claremoore. Secretly their love grew, and eventually the couple decided to leave the order due to the Jedi Order's rules forbidding love.

The Jedi couple moved to Onderon, where they gave birth to their first child, Thonas, in 59 BBY. In 51 BBY, Dari gave birth to twins, Carsis and Satele. Ronium began to train Thonas in the ways of the Force while Dari was taking care of Carsis and Satele. Thonas didn’t learn how to create a lightsaber because Ronium and Dari had not learned. By the age of eighteen Thonas had fallen in love with a woman named Catri Tade, while Carsis and Satele were being trained by their mother and father.

After Zane and Cari left Onderon for greater things, it left Carsis and Satele alone to recieve additional Force training from their parents for the next couple of years. The training helped them become more skilled in the Force, allowing them to become more confident with the powers that were given to them, go so far as to become more and more confident in subduing their Force signature to a point. In 35 BBY the twins found themselves falling madly in love with some of their neighbours, Carsis with a beautiful Miralukan young woman by the name of Serenity Ventus and Satele with a tough young man by the name of Tiberius Farron. The couples spent the next several years completing their education and training before leaving the planet in 30 BBY and 27 BBY for other planets.

The decision to leave Onderon was spurned from a vision that the twin's father had been given through the Force, a vision of death and destruction on a Galactic scale that affected the Force users of the galaxy. As Carsis reached his twenty-first birthday, he married Serenity and the two fled to a distant planet of [[starwars:Aquilaris|Aquilaris]] to remain well outside of normal shipping lanes and the growing might of the Republic. Shortly there after on her twenty-fourth birthday, Satele married Tiberius and the pair moved to the planet of [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]] in a similar move to that of her brother. Things changed greately for the twins over the next several years and in 19 BBY things went terribly for all Force users as the Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Empire and Order 66 saw all "Jedi" or other Force users to be captured or slain on sight.

=== The Miralukan Factor ===
While Satele and Tiberius left Onderon for [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], Carsis and Serenity left for the quiet aquatic world of [[starwars:Aquilaris|Aquilaris]] and settled down on some of the smaller nondescript isles that dotted the planet's oceans almost an hour away from the only major city on the planet, Floating City. The quiet planet and it's extremely loose affiliation to the Galactic Empire made it a safe haven for the couple, and their distance from the more heavily occupied city allowed them to remain a little more relaxed. Within two years of relocating to the planet, the couple gave birth to a beautiful baby girl they named Fayth. The young Miraluka learned the ways of the Force from her parents quickly, but was taught to always remain careful and suspicious of others due to the nature of her race. As she grew, her ethereal grace and skill with the Force grew with her; subtlety and suppression allowed her to keep her regular usage of the Force in check while helping ensure the family's safety from the Emperor and his spies.

While an attractive young woman, Fayth was overtly studious and would only venture to Floating City every once in a while with her parents for food or other supplies. On one such trip in 3 BBY, Fayth met a young Miralukan man by the name of Lucien Fey and was immediately taken with him. Love at first "sight" would definitely by the correct term to use as both of the young Miraluka were immediately stricken with each other. The two were polar opposites of each other: Fayth a quiet and studious young woman while Lucien was a stunning warrior and figurehead of the Aquilarian society. As much as the two were vastly different, they were both madly in love and did everything they could to communicate with each other even with the great distance between each other. The experience led for Lucien to be the only person besides the Pepoi family to visit their island homestead and for Fayth to begin to visit Floating City more often to see Lucien; the two fed off each other's strengths and helped one another overcome their weaknesses while their parents helped them gain even further skill and talent in the ways of the Force.

In 3 ABY, things began to get hectic for the young lovers as Lucien and Fayth quickly wed within the large beautiful gardens of the Pepoi homestead. Things grew worse following their happy marriage as Imperial Agents began to track the family; determined to capture, subvert and train these powerful Force users for their own Jedi to challenge those allied with the Republic, the agents were able to successfully infiltrate the Pepoi homestead in 7 ABY just as the family began to leave for the spaceport on the Floating City. In a bid to ensure his daughter's safety, Carsis openly challenged and fought the Imperial Agents to the death outside of the spaceport just after destroying all data referencing his family's travel records. Fayth's father's death weighed heavily upon her as the family settled on the newly reoccupied Republic world of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]], but the love and care given to her by Lucien and her mother kept her going to the point of the birth of their healthy baby boy, Methyas, in 9 ABY.

For each blessing the family seemed to recieve, something had to be repayed it seemed; a few months following [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart|Methyas']] birth the Imperials led by Grand Admiral Thrawn began a brutal bombardment of Coruscant, known as the Third Battle of Coruscant, which saw the family seeking refuge in the Undercity of Coruscant. During the journey to the lower levels of the City, Serenity Pepoi gave her life while creating a barrier in the Force to allow her grandson and daughter to safely escape an incoming turbolaser barrage. While the barrier didn't last too long the effects resonated through the family, the death of both her parents at the hands of the Imperials steeling Fayth's resolve to fight alongside the Republic. During this time, Fayth gave birth to her second son [[Mirado Pepoi L'eonheart|Mirado]]. Fate seemed determined to wipe the Miraluka from the face of the galaxy however, as the Fourth Battle of Coruscant saw a vicious conflict errupt on the surface of the city-planet. In a bid to keep their children safe, Fayth and Lucien quickly secured the older of the boys in a hidden location, and handed the younger to a pair of Miralukan refugees that had found a way off world, before challenging an Imperial strike-team bent on their destruction; although they fell their legacy lived on.

With worried and hungry cries, [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart|Methyas]] alerted a nearby Republic commando by the name of Arthur Arcturi to his presence within the devestated remains of the Fey household. Arcturi took the child in as his own alongside his wife, keeping young [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart|Methyas]] safe along with many other children that came from war torn families and began to train him in self-defense as well as the Mandalorian ways. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart|Methyas]] lived with the family for many years until their demise during the Battle of Mandalore, the event shook the man to his very core and saw him searching the galaxy for vengence until he encountered the Brotherhood in the Orian System.

Mirado, however, was taken to Chandrila and hidden with his adoptive parents Maart and Veila Lhaan, where he spent his first three years hidden away. At the age of five, they won a trip to Dantooine, where Maart and Veila Lhaan were killed with the rest of the tourists in an act that Mirado has yet to determine.

=== Thonas’ Blood Line ===
Catri and Thonas left Onderon for Corvanni IV in 40 BBY, since they figured they would find a job there better than on Onderon. They were married in 39 BBY, but due to them both working hard at their jobs, they did not have a child until 28 BBY, named Zane. The couple made the conscious decision to make Zane feel normal, and not train him as a Jedi like Thonas had been. When Order 66 occured, Thonas had completely stopped using his Force abilities to make sure he stayed hidden from the Empire. Zane grew up and went through his schooling quickly, and earned a job in the Xev Corporation on Corvanni 4.

[[File:Pretty.jpg|thumb|150px|right]]By the time Alderaan was destroyed, Zane was a vice president to the Xev Corporation, and had married Rebec Voss in 0 ABY. In 2 ABY, they had their first child, Fremoc. In 5 ABY Rebec gave birth to Skye. Rebec and Zane’s marriage was rocky for the first few years. Zane was having commitment issues and would at times have affairs with women that were nineteen to twenty-two years old. In 7 ABY, things came to a head when a young woman of twenty years old, a woman that Zane had last saw 9 months prior, approached Zane with an infant child, named Kano. The woman wanted to continue her schooling and gave Kano to Zane since he was the father. Immediately Zane called his good friend Tor Verda, a Mandalorian, who immediately took the child as his own. The woman called Zane several days later, asking how Kano was doing to find that Zane had given him to Tor Verda.
The family remained peaceful until 20 ABY, where terrorists began attacking the Pepoi household, twice the terrorists were killed by Zane and Fremoc. In 21 ABY a bomb killed Rebec, Skye, and Zane while Fremoc was standing outside the house. Fremoc had asked his then girlfriend at the time, Camille Peterson, to marry him prior to the event. Fear had struck the young man, and thinking that she was in trouble, he gave her and her parents money to go to Coruscant. Camille had failed to tell Fremoc that she was pregnant with a child before she had left and wound up giving birth to Thomas Pepoi in 21 ABY.

For a while Fremoc had forgotten who he actually was and began to go by the name of Demonic. In 26 ABY Camille watched in horror as Fremoc had been pronounced dead after an explosion during an operation. She went to bed and never woke up, leaving Thomas with his Grandparents. Fremoc joined the Dark Brotherhood, and started training as a Dark Jedi under Jade Atema and also met Teu Veld, who was a Jedi Hunter at the time. During the retaking of Antei, Fremoc remembered his actual name and relearned his past through dreams and various other experiences. Teu and Fremoc became very close with each other and Jade saw this, wanting to keep them away from each other, Teu was sent elsewhere. It wasn't until he was on a personal mission to Telos, that he found out about Thomas. Thomas returned to Tarthos with Fremoc, leaving the refugee camps there for a life with his biological father.

After Fremoc was appointed the Night Raptors Battleteam leader, Fremoc took on an apprentice named Ryuk. During the attack by the Peace Brigade and Yuuzhan Vong, Thomas was captured by the Peace Brigade. After the Vong were eradicated from the Sepros system and Fremoc had gone on an expedition with Ryuk to Nar Shadda, who learned his name was Kano Verda, prepared his vessel to find his son. Teu stopped the then Dark Jedi Knight and demanded she go with him. Fremoc relented and allowed Teu to go with him. On the trip to Yavin 4, the two revealed their feelings for one another, and some time after returning to Tarthos, Teu and Fremoc where married.

In early 32 ABY, Teu became pregnant with their first child, and gave birth to Darra later that year. The family was separated for a time because Teu had become Aedile of Ludo Kressh while Fremoc was Quaestor of Marka Ragnos. Darra and Thomas remained on Tarthos, while their mother was allowed to come home whenever she felt like it. During 33 ABY, Fremoc ordered the bombardment on Green Sector in Markosian City because it had become overrun with Ekind and Vongspawn, and nearly killed himself and Shan Long in the process. Shan Long gave Fremoc the choice of death or exile, where he was chose exile. Upon the death of Hafa Chun and the last of the Ekind, Fremoc began his exile.

=== Kano ===
When Zane handed his secret child over to his long time friend Tor Verda in 7 ABY the Mandalorian instantly accepted the child as his own. Kano lived with Tor, Shai, and his younger brother Rang happily until 13 ABY when a group of outcast Mandalorians attacked the family’s house. Everyone was killed except Kano, who had been knocked unconscious as he attempted to save his mother from one of the attackers.

Kano awoke a year later in 14 ABY with no memory of his life or family. He was alone on the planet of Raxus Prime for several hours before a man wearing a full armor suit and T-shaped visor approached him. The man was former leader of the group that attacked Kano’s family and he offered the young boy a home and training to become a Mandalorian warrior and bounty hunter. He gave the child the name of Ryuk and only only went by buir.

In 22 ABY the boys training was completed by attaining and completing a bounty for death on the man that had been training him. After that event Ryuk went across the galaxy completing bounties and other works for hire until 31 ABY when he made his way to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood by mistake while looking for a way to use the powers he felt he had.

In 31 ABY Ryuk discovered his true identity and took on the name of Kano Verda. Kano fought alongside of his Clan mates in many battles and continues to do so. Such battles including Salas V and killing the Vongspawn and Ekind on Tarthos. With Fremoc's exile, Fremoc made sure that Kano stood by Teu, and acted as her personal bodyguard.

=== Forming the Family ===
Fremoc’s travels took him back home to Corvanni IV, where he learned of who his grandparents where and traced them living on Onderon for a time. During his time on Corvanni IV, he found records of his father meeting a twenty year old woman in 7 ABY. Pepoi found the woman had given birth in a hospital near his home, to a boy named Kano and had named the father as Zane Pepoi. Fremoc found where the woman was living on Corvanni and began to question her about the child, and to his disbelief, Fremoc found out that Kano was his half brother.

Fremoc left Corvanni IV and ventured home to Tarthos despite his exile, and slept with his wife. He decided it best not to tell her or Kano who knew he had returned because he was protecting the female Pepoi. At Onderon, Fremoc found that his Great Grandparents were Ronium and Dari Pepoi, and also had twins by the names of Carsis and Satele. Fremoc followed were Carsis and Satele had moved and followed their bloodlines to Tattooine and Coruscant, learning that his distant cousins were in fact Methyas L’eonheart and Araxis Farron. The revelation that his closest friends where actually family made him happy, but before he could share the information with them, Ma`ar-Tyrius Ga-Tir called upon Fremoc once more to serve as his Praetor and went to Antei. Fremoc informed the members of the family on Antei during the [[Disorder]] vendetta, before leaving to become a member of the [[Marked of the Wanderer]]. The Family returned to the Orian system, with Fremoc becoming Aedile of Naga Sadow, Teu becoming the Rollmaster of Naga Sadow, Kano as the Regulator's Battle team leader, and Araxis and Methyas as Prefects.

== Pepoi Compound ==
The Pepoi family built their homes just outside the monastery of [[Mucenic]], each line of the family having their own house. The compound is outlined by a 3 foot stone wall. Fremoc and Teu have the biggest house, because of Kano living there as well as having three children in the house. Methyas and Naomi have their own house near by, and Araxis has his own house inside the walls as well. Venator lives on occasion with Araxis since his house is empty, and sometimes lives with Methyas and Naomi.

The design is a simple setting of [[starwars:durasteel|durasteel]] featuring concentric rings with a symbolic flame inset. The rings imply the absolute concentration requisite in battle. The "living jewel" center is fashioned to resemble the fires of war and is unique in the known galaxy. Those warriors who stand elite among the Brotherhood possess Clusters of Fire ranging into the thousands.

The [[Grand Master's Royal Guard]] was a society formed by Lord [[Justinian Khyron]] shortly after an altercation with a rebel [[Clan]] known as Ar'Kell. Khyron felt it was necessary to form an elite corps of body guards, in the same vain as Palpatine's Imperial Royal Guards, to protect the Council from devious plots and assassination attempts. The Guard served in this capacity under many different leaders, with many different concepts of protection, until the society was closed in [[26 ABY to Present|26 ABY]] by [[Sarin|Grand Master Sarin]]. In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]] [[Muz Ashen]] reinstated the Royal Guard under his new [[Fist of the Brotherhood]] [[Ma`ar-Tyrius Ga-Tir]]. In 35 ABY, after [[Fremoc Pepoi Sadow]] took over as the guard's leader, he moved the headquarters from the Shadow Academy, to [[The Spike]] on Antei.

== History of the Guard ==
Under the influence of the former Grand Master known as "[[The Other|the Other]]", Clan Ar'kell staged a massive revolt in an attempt to overthrow the [[Dark Council]]. Their first attempt was to strike out at individual Council members. Fortunately, Ar'kell was driven back and fled to the Core to form their own splinter organization. It was their assassination attempts that led Khyron to form the Grand Master's Royal Guard. An elite sect of [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] soldiers, trained and conditioned to be peerless protectors of the reigning Dark Lord and his Council. Initial training was conducted under the supervision of [[Dark Jedi Master|Master]] Blazer, a loyal servant of the Brotherhood and a powerful warrior.

As the Grand Masters Royal Guard progressed the warriors leading the Guard became less and less capable and training began to become more and more inefficient. The Royal Guard began to become more of a volunteer corps rather than an elite organization and the loyalty dropped as just wearing the famed armor because the primary motivation. Grand Master Sarin, seeing the loyalty and training dropping, decided to put an end to the organization shortly before the Vong Insurrection on Antei in 26 ABY. Many believe that if the Royal Guard were present the Grand Master wouldn’t of died needlessly in the sands of Antei while fighting Jedi Master Omancor Crask.

Shortly after those events Muz Ashen took on the title of Grand Master. Being a former Guardsman himself, Muz recognized the need for a new Royal Guard. The Dark Lord, along with Headmaster Taigikori Aybara Dupar and the Grand Master’s Fist, reinstated a brutal training ground on Lyspair and the Royal Guard lived once again. In 35 ABY, [[Fremoc Pepoi]] took over the guard as Ma'ar stepped away, and within the year Fremoc moved the Guard to Antei at [[The Spike]] to be closer to the Dark Hall and the members it was protecting.

== Guard Training ==
[[File:Gm_royal_guard.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Two guardsmen train]] Guardsmen training is broken down into the different Echelons. Upper Echelon Guardsmen will assist with the training of the lower Echelons. The Fist of the Brotherhood exclusively trains the upper Echelons because of their knowledge in combat and military tactics.

Guardsman were taught several disciplines, but their focus was mainly on personal combat. As the last line of defense for the Grand Master and his Dark Council, each member was expected to perform beyond excellent and so they trained themselves, physically and mentally, every day. Lightsaber combat featured predominately over the other disciplines, and all training was conducted with live weaponry. Most guardsmen are also trained for special operations, assassinations, and other military tactics because it has been known for Dark Councilors to go on their own covert missions as well as be used as frontline soldiers.

== Rank System ==
As ambition drives the normal ranks of the Dark Brotherhood, it can prove a valuable tool within the structure of the [[Grand Master's Royal Guard]], as well. Through sheer determination, a member may advance within the hierarchy of ranks within the Royal Guard. To do so, they need to earn [[Cluster of Fire|Clusters of Fire]].

Ranks within the Grand Master's Royal Guard are broken into four echelons, aptly numbered based on one's determination: First Echelon, Second Echelon, Third Echelon and Fourth Echelon. Within each echelon, assigned a numerical value, are the ranks of the Grand Master's Royal Guard. As one advances within the Society, progressing upward, special features are unlocked: armor, weapons, robes, and exclusive lightsaber hilts.

=== Rank Elevations (Important to Read) ===
After a member passes the GMRG History course in the Shadow Academy, the member is automatically enrolled in the Society. After that, to gain rank, the earned Clusters of Fire for the next rank need to have been approved by the [[Master at Arms]] in that month. If they don't have the allotment of Clusters of Fire, they won't rank up, and possibly be demoted if they don't even have the same amount they had the previous month. On the First of every month, the [[Fist of the Brotherhood]] presses a button that automatically calculates the amount of the Clusters awarded for that member that month, and elevates or demotes them. There are ranks that will won't demote a member, those being level 1, 4, 7, and 10. The system is set up though, that a member can not rank up twice in one month, including the month that they take the GMRG test. It is best to make sure that the member has been awarded his or her Clusters of Fire prior to the last day of the month, so that in case an issue arises in real life for either the Fist or the Master At Arms, the member still progresses or stays at the same rank.

{{torcf}}

==== Rewarding ====

Since the Staff in the ToR Guild sometimes might not be able to run the flashpoints, PvP warzones, World Boss downings, or operations with members, there is a simple way for members to still earn CF's. Members need to have at least 2 people from the actual DJB site, to qualify. A screenshot of the flashpoint quest complete box, the warzone scoreboard at the end of the scoreboard, or a group photo of the members who took down the world boss where everyone are next to each other, must be taken, and then submit it to the form on your admin menu.

=== Pendants of Blood ===

The Fist and his staff awards Pendants of Blood as well. You can get a Pendant of Blood by leveling a character to 50 or by earning a server/guild first. To request these, there is an option for that through the admin menu. Screenshots are required for your max level character.

== Chat ==

The lifeblood of communication for the DJB's movements through The Old Republic galaxy will mainly be from the guild chat in the game but there are other places as well.

=== TeamSpeak 3===

Members will use this service for Operations, Flashpoints, and PVP activities. Its highly suggested that all members use this service.

If you are having issues running the game and Ventrilo at the same time and you can not talk while in The Old Republic, run your Ventrilo client as administrator.

Current Information -
*Vent IP: voice.gameservers.com
*Port #: Ask Fremoc or an officer

For donations for the TeamSpeak server:[http://www.gameservers.com/clanpay/?clanid=52a0ac705d48b29c8174e66c4e9e269c Donate]

=== In Game ===

Since we have two guilds on the Sith Empire side, a custom channel was created called Brotherhood. This channel is being used for Officers to invite members to the guild to the sub-50 guild or a main to the Main guild, and is used to talk to members in both guilds. To set up the channel, in The Old Republic, right click the chat tabs, click Create Custom Channel, and then type Brotherhood. This way you can continue chatting with members of both guilds and ask for help with different missions.

== Allies ==

* Emperor's Hammer
* Rebel Squadrons

== Rules ==
* Have fun!
* Before a member can join the guild, they must have joined the DJB site and informed an officer of their pin.
* Racism, Homophobia, and/or Sexism will not be tolerated
* Do not kill steal. Use common courtesy and move onto the next group of NPCs.
* If your character has not been active for more than 90 days and not a DJB Member, your character will be kicked from the guild to allow more members to be active.
* Raid groups can not be members from all of one unit. Multiple members from multiple units are required for raid groups.
* Ninja looting is not allowed.

Being in the Guild is a privilege, not a right. If you are a disruptive member to the rest of the Guild, the Overseer or Guild Leaders can have you removed.

=== General Raid Rules ===

* Be on 15 minutes before raid time
* Show up with repaired gear and stims
* Be on Ventrilo
* Don't go AFK during boss fights
* Don't loot the boss unless the Raid Leader says so
* Don't need rolls if your alt. or companions could use the loot
* Prepare to be raiding for 2-3 hours

* Bio-break before the raid begins
* Don't be a dick
* All decisions by the Raid Leader of the group can only to be overturned by the main Raid Leader, the Praetor to the Fist, and/or the Fist of the Brotherhood

==== Loot Rules ====
These rules are designed for newer members joining a raid group, or a highly geared team joining another eight players to down the 16 man raids.

* If a heavily geared member that is short by three or less pieces of top-tier gear for a full set agrees to help gear newer raiders through raid attendance, the geared member will be permitted a pre-raid assignment of a single specific drop. Newer raiders will roll on all other class drops, from which the geared member will refrain from rolling.
* All pre-raid drop assignments will be announced before the start of the raid.
* Pre-raid drop assignments will be limited to one drop per person per raid lockout.
* Nothing prohibits the geared member that obtains a pre-raid drop assignment from rolling on off-spec and companion rolls.
* These rules apply only to the highest-level tier in-game.
* Raid leader will keep a tally on who has been receiving tokens of gear.

'''''Note:''''' These rules are for raids that are DJB only. In pick up raids it is highly encouraged that you roll for all loot either through the need (if you need it) or greed (if you don't need it but you like the look or want some extra money) options, or use master looter and everyone rolls for the loot if they need it or roll for if they want it for money.

The '''Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare''' agency, otherwise known as '''SHADOW''', was formed in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]] by [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Executive Director|Executive Director]] [[Kalia Pepoi]] and [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Senior Director|Senior Director]] [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] in response to recent attacks upon the [[Dlarit Corporation|Corporation]] by external threats and because of the "[[Children of Revolution|incident]]" between members of the [[Dlarit Special Operations Group|Special Operations Group]]. The formation of this agency was fully approved by the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Board of Directors|Board of Directors]]; chief amongst them [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#President|President]] [[Locke Sonjie|Sonjie]], [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Vice-president|Vice-president]] [[Atra Ventus|Ventus]] and [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Chairman|Chairman]] [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow|Sadow]]. SHADOW operates as a near-autonomous branch within the Dlarit Corporation under the umbrella of the Special Operations Group, its members receiving clearance above and beyond that of normal SOG personnel to the point that they report directly to the agency's directors and are permitted use of all SOG assets needed for their missions up to and including personnel.

==History==
[[TBA]]

==Operational Directives==
SHADOW agents have been granted a high degree of autonomy and oversight by order of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Board of Directors|Board of Directors]]; the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Executive Director|Executive]] and [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Senior Director|Senior Directors]] assigning each agent specific tasks to ensure the continued success and security of the [[Dlarit Corporation]]. Utilizing the mentality that "the best defense is a good offense", many of the missions carried out by SHADOW agents are classified as [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_operation Black Ops] and fall under the field of "Operational Warfare". As classified by the SOG directives, "Operational Warfare" are missions wherein agents of the Special Operations Group use any means necessary to attain strategic and/or operational objectives. These missions have been known to fall anywhere from sabotage and subterfuge to assassination and beyond; SHADOW agents are assigned to their missions based on their existing talents and are given further privileges within the agency based on their loyalty to the Corporation above all else.

==Operational Headquarters==
As an Agency that focused on subtly and stealth as opposed to pure military might, SHADOW maintains several operational Headquarters and safe-houses to ensure that their agents are capable of obtaining their mission objectives. Locations outside of the [[Orian system]] are notably redacted from any material that could potentially be released publicly and rumor holds that these locations are constantly relocated by order of the agency's Directors, the pair themselves knowing the location of each agent and safe-house without documentation.

* <u>"'''Dawn'''", North Tower Executive Levels, [[Ragnos Cathedral|Alabrek Citadel]], [[Tarthos]]</u>
** The Public face of SHADOW is located high within the Executive Levels of the Alabrek Citadel, while still restricted to the public these offices are generally utilized by agents unfit for field work or are used when dignitaries from outside the Dlarit Corporation are present upon Tarthos.
* <u>"'''Twilight'''", Auxilary, Alabrek Citadel, Tarthos</u>
** The main base of operation for SHADOW is a highly restricted sector of the Alabrek Auxilary beneath the Citadel, further details have been withheld at this time.
* <u>"'''Horizon'''", REDACTED, [[Aeotheran]]</u>
** REDACTED
* <u>"'''Overlord'''", Underground, [[Temples of Orian|Temple of Shadow]], [[Sepros]]</u>
** Located deep beneath the former Temple of Shadow, this facility is highly classified and equally restricted to most members of the Dlarit Corporation; utilized primarily as a personal bunker for the Chairman and his family should the system be compromised by hostile forces, this facility has amongst the most secure systems in the Orian system and outside of extreme emergencies is utilized only by the most esteemed members of SHADOW for data acquisition as there are no armories located within this location.
*<u>"'''Crucible'''", REDACTED, [[Inos Moon 18|Inos]]</u>
**Once a testing ground for prototype weaponry and armor for SHADOW, it is now the main base of operations for SHADOW's elite forces, namely [[Scepter of Ragnos]].

==Trivia==
* SHADOW was developed with the purpose of utilizing members of [[Marka Ragnos|House Marka Ragnos]] in their new role as the "Shield of Sadow"
* A few elements of [http://www.marvel.com Marvel's] "[http://marvel.wikia.com/Strategic_Hazard_Intervention_Espionage_Logistics_Directorate_%28Earth-616%29 S.H.I.E.L.D.]" have slipped within SHADOW following a description of how [[Marka Ragnos]] and [[Shar Dakhan]] behave with one another

'''Marka Ragnos''' is a restored [[House]] of [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]] in the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood of Dark Jedi]]. Originally founded in 14 ABY and formed out of the Disciples of Ragnos. It was dissolved into a Battleteam after the Great Clans of the Brotherhood were reverted to Houses. During the anniversary of the Exodus in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]], House Marka Ragnos was restored at the blessing of the [[Clan Summit]]. Marka Ragnos is the only surviving House out of the original three of Clan Naga Sadow; the other sister Houses were [[House Ludo Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] and [[House Primus Goluud|Primus Goluud]].

For more information and the organization of the House please please view the [[House Marka Ragnos Prospectus]]

==History==

The story of [[House Marka Ragnos]] begins some 5,300 years before the Battle of Yavin, when the [[Dark Lord of the Sith]], [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] himself, began his reign over the Sith Empire. Under his rule a Golden Age was ushered in. Ragnos ruled with unparalleled success for 300 years. During his final years, he established a cult like society of warriors, scholars and other figures who swore an oath of loyalty to him.

Even after Marka Ragnos was succeeded by Lord Naga Sadow, this cult remained loyal to him and left Korriban, wandering across the galaxy with no destination in mind. In their travels, this cult came across the planet Karana III and settled there. They began calling themselves the ''[[Disciples of Ragnos]]'' and continued to worship their master and practice his dark doctrine. However, the Disciples were eventually driven away from Karana, and they settled on the planet Loki in the [[Phare system]].

It was not long before [[Tron|Astronicus Sadow]], the last surviving descendant of Lord Naga Sadow, came to Phare and asked the Disciples to join him under the flag of House Naga Sadow. The numbers of House Naga Sadow grew and it slowly became one of the most powerful houses within the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. In 17 ABY it became [[Clan Naga Sadow]] and the Disciples of Ragnos were reformed into House Marka Ragnos. The [[starwars:Epistle of Marka Ragnos|Epistle of Marka Ragnos]] continued to live on within the House, adored in the traditions of old. As the years passed, the House grew and new tradition were made. The Disciples slowly earned respect from within the clan and outside of it.

In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], a decade and a half after the unit's ascension to Clan Status, the Dark Council at the behest of the [[Grand Master]] determined that all of the Great Clans of the Brotherhood needed to be reformed into Houses seeing the surviving Houses of Kressh and Ragnos dissolved into House Naga Sadow. However the Disciples survived in the form of [[Battleteam Marka Ragnos]]. It wasn’t long before Naga Sadow once again earned clan status and the Disciples saw the return of their great house.

For the full history of House Marka Ragnos, [[House Marka Ragnos History|refer here]].

==Disciples of Ragnos==
{{Main|[[Disciples of Ragnos]]}}
The '''Disciples of Ragnos''' are a theocratic cult that believes in the divinity of Marka Ragnos. The cult is shrouded in secrecy only those who are disciples know who the other disciples are.
At present time the Disciples of Ragnos are not an in-character organisation as depicted in the article linked.

== Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare aka. SHADOW ==
{{Main|[[Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare]]}}
The '''Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare''' unit, also known as SHADOW, was a covert-operations unit within Naga Sadow and their related [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]]. While they tend to be the spooks or intelligence operatives of the Disciples of Sadow, their unique skills have proven a boon in ensuring that Naga Sadow can respond swiftly to a threat and keep the knowledge of their true identity well hidden from the general populous. All members of Marka Ragnos are operatives within SHADOW. SHADOW was established by current Quaestor [[Kalia Pepoi]] with help from former Aedile [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]].

'''Marka Ragnos''' is a restored [[House]] of [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]] in the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood of Dark Jedi]]. Originally founded in 14 ABY and formed out of the Disciples of Ragnos. It was dissolved into a Battleteam after the Great Clans of the Brotherhood were reverted to Houses. During the anniversary of the Exodus in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]], House Marka Ragnos was restored at the blessing of the [[Clan Summit]].

For more information and the organization of the House please please view the [[House Marka Ragnos Prospectus]]

==History==

The story of [[House Marka Ragnos]] begins some 5,300 years before the Battle of Yavin, when the [[Dark Lord of the Sith]], [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] himself, began his reign over the Sith Empire. Under his rule a Golden Age was ushered in. Ragnos ruled with unparalleled success for 300 years. During his final years, he established a cult like society of warriors, scholars and other figures who swore an oath of loyalty to him.

Even after Marka Ragnos was succeeded by Lord Naga Sadow, this cult remained loyal to him and left Korriban, wandering across the galaxy with no destination in mind. In their travels, this cult came across the planet Karana III and settled there. They began calling themselves the ''[[Disciples of Ragnos]]'' and continued to worship their master and practice his dark doctrine. However, the Disciples were eventually driven away from Karana, and they settled on the planet Loki in the [[Phare system]].

It was not long before [[Tron|Astronicus Sadow]], the last surviving descendant of Lord Naga Sadow, came to Phare and asked the Disciples to join him under the flag of House Naga Sadow. The numbers of House Naga Sadow grew and it slowly became one of the most powerful houses within the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. In 17 ABY it became [[Clan Naga Sadow]] and the Disciples of Ragnos were reformed into House Marka Ragnos. The [[starwars:Epistle of Marka Ragnos|Epistle of Marka Ragnos]] continued to live on within the House, adored in the traditions of old. As the years passed, the House grew and new tradition were made. The Disciples slowly earned respect from within the clan and outside of it.

In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], a decade and a half after the unit's ascension to Clan Status, the Dark Council at the behest of the [[Grand Master]] determined that all of the Great Clans of the Brotherhood needed to be reformed into Houses seeing the surviving Houses of Kressh and Ragnos dissolved into House Naga Sadow. However the Disciples survived in the form of [[Battleteam Marka Ragnos]]. It wasn’t long before Naga Sadow once again earned clan status and the Disciples saw the return of their great house.

[[House Marka Ragnos]] is the last original [[House]] of [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]] in the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood of Dark Jedi]].

== Government and Politics ==

=== Dlarit Corporation ===

[[Tarthos]] serves as the home and seat of power for Marka Ragnos. The planet is controlled by the [[Dlarit Corporation]] but has allowed a small representative government to deal with small political and non-corporation issues. Each settlement on the planet is represented by a civilian elected official known as a Mayor. The various Corporate Assets, like Training Facilities and Mining Operations, scattered across the planet are managed by Commerce Directors or Military Prefects. The planet as a whole is govern by a Governor who is appointed by the Board of Directors instead of being elected by the civilian population. While the Governor is seen as the corporation’s chief representative on the public front, he is still a puppet of the Corporation’s true masters. Behind the scenes the Quaestor of Marka Ragnos is the primary overseer of the Corporation’s assets on Tarthos. [[Kalia Pepoi]] as Quaestor holds the title of Executive Director and is the Governor’s direct superior. Power over the civilian population still falls on the shoulders of the Governor.

While [[Markosian City]] is the capital of Tarthos and the seat of government it is not home to the true rulers of the planet. The city of [[Kar Alabrek]] is the former capital of Tarthos and the site of the [[Alabrek Castle]], better know as the '''Ragnos Cathedral'''. While most of Kar Alabrek is controlled by the local civilian government, the castle and its surrounding area is controlled by the Executive Director.

The executive and legislative branches of Tarthos are controlled by the Executive Director and his cabinet. The cabinet is composed of the most senior Corporation officers on Tarthos to include the Exeuctive Director's senior aide, the Senior Director, the planet's Governor, the planet's military commander and the various Commerce Directors and Military Prefects. With the help of the cabinet the Executive Director does what is nessacary to ensure proper control and growth of Tarthos's populace and it's Corporation assets.

=== SHADOW ===

{{Main|[[Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare]]}}
The '''Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare''' unit, also known as SHADOW, is a covert-operations unit within Naga Sadow and their related [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]]. While they tend to be the spooks or intelligence operatives of the Disciples of Sadow, their unique skills have proven a boon in ensuring that Naga Sadow can respond swiftly to a threat and keep the knowledge of their true identity well hidden from the general populous. All members of Marka Ragnos are operatives within SHADOW. '''SHADOW''' was formed in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]] by [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Executive Director|Executive Director]] [[Kalia Pepoi]] and [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Senior Director|Senior Director]] [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] in response to recent attacks upon the [[Dlarit Corporation|Corporation]] by external threats and because of the "[[Children of Revolution|incident]]" between members of the [[Dlarit Special Operations Group|Special Operations Group]].

=== Overlord of Ragnos ===

The '''Overlord of Ragnos''', also known as the House Overlord s not an official leadership position in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Overlord was the symbolic leader of the House and was last held by the patriarch of the Disciples, Trevarus Caerick, until his betrayal. The position has remained vacant till this day.

== Society and Culture ==

===Religion ===

====Disciples of Ragnos====

The Disciples of Ragnos are a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theocracy theocratic] society that believe Dark Lord [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] to be divine. His [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divinity divinity] is recognized through the Sovereign of Ragnos.

The Disciples themselves are also seen as divine by the normal populace of Tarthos and consider the main religion of the planet. The Dark Lord's own [[starwars:Epistle of Marka Ragnos|doctrine]] is used in mass to help the Dark Jedi of Tarthos understand the true power and divinity of Marka Ragnos.

{{Main|[[Disciples of Ragnos]]}} At present time the Disciples of Ragnos are not an in-character organisation as depicted in the article linked; the page is being kept for historical reference purposes.

=== Holidays and Festivals ===

==== Holidays ====

=====The Long Day=====
Formerly observed on June 21, it celebrated the day [[Shan Long]] (then Trevarus Caerik) assumed the title of House Overlord. This holiday is no long observed.

=====Day of Ragnos=====
Celebrated on December 21, this day celebrates the first day of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos's]] reign over the Sith Empire.

==== Festivals ====

=====The Wild Hunt=====

In ancient times, it was believed that there were forces beyond understanding that would sweep down from the skies during the fiercest of thunderstorms to take the lives of whomever they deemed unworthy. Never seen and killing with brutal efficiency, this superstition has survived the test of time.

The Jedi of the Brotherhood, ever believing in their own superiority and the need to exert this over others, have revived this tradition. It is more public than in ages past, a sign to all in Naga Sadow-controlled territories who their masters are.

The Ritual begins with a prayer to the ancient Lord of the Clan, Naga Sadow, while the members of the Houses pray to their benefactors after whom their Houses are named: Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh, respectively. They pray for strength and cunning in the festivities to come and hope that these fearsome beings smile on them as the ritual begins.

As with any population, there are those who have decided not to take the Clan as their Masters, and ignore the rules and regulations set on them by the Clan and the Dlarit Corporation. These prisoners are released periodically and hunted down by the Clan, as a showing of their authority and to send a clear message that insubordination cannot, and will not, be tolerated. The prisoners are released and told to use any means necessary to procure their own freedom; they are told that those who manage to escape will be offered their freedom: the need for such emancipation has yet to arise. Every prisoner released has always found their end at the hands of a member of the Clan.

The ritual serves several important ends: it establishes and maintains the authority of the Clan in their space as they inspire fear and dread in the local populations; it serves as a chance for individual members of the Clan to show their leaders their prowess; and it serves to cull the local prisoner population, as well and quelling any thoughts of dissent.

=====The Rite of Quietus=====

Even the most powerful of Dark Jedi can boast the most humble origins. Indeed, mystics of the Final Way preach that the smallest of factors can have the most powerful effect on any individual. Naturally, the annals of power that Clan Naga Sadow is built on on has its own histories. It is the Rite of Quietus that helps the Clan to remember those who have gone before.

The Rite is primarily a form of ancestor worship, though the term 'ancestor' is used to signify any people, place, or event that has shaped a Dark Jedi into the being they are today. A Dark Jedi is, after all, the product of all of their experiences.

It is a time of self-reflection for the Clan, as each individual is asked to remember those who they have come into contact with, who have had a lasting effect on their lives and who have since passed into memory. A wide variety of reactions are brought forth from the Jedi: some fondly remember parents, spouses, and childhood friends. Some may remember other members of the Clan, or those of other Clans. Master and Apprentice may decide to show their appreciation for each other, and families may decide to celebrate their victories and defeats. By the same token, someone may perform a personal ritual to torture someone who has caused them pain, or swear their undying enmity for someone who has slighted them. Either way, the Rite serves as an affirmation to those who have had an impact on the life of the Jedi in question, whether positive or negative.

One of the central figures in the Rite are the Lords of the Sith who serve as inspiration. Prayers are offered to Naga Sadow, Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh with the hope that they might look upon the Clan with fondness. What these beings actually feel about the Clan, or individual members, is something that only they would know.

=====The Festival of Renewal=====

It is a fact of life: empires, kingdoms, and the lives of every being will eventually come to an end, to be replaced with something new. Though to the mystical Dark Jedi this concept seems to hold less meaning, especially to those so powerful that they can transfer their essences into the bodies of others, it is still known that everything goes through a cycle.

The Festival of Renewal is dedicated to those members of the Clan who, while not as powerful as their Overlords, still have their part to play in the daily workings of the Clan. It takes a special kind of courage to realize the power within oneself and to try and harness it by joining the Brotherhood; often this takes sacrifice as well. It is this festival that pays homage to that sacrifice.

Even the lowliest Acolyte has the potential to one day become Grand Master, and it is this potential that must be nurtured and properly trained in order to achieve that status. However, it should also be fun, and this is the one moment in the Clan in which all eyes are on them.

The festival itself is meant to be a welcome reprieve from the harsh training regimens and study periods. Games are played, food and drink are served, and stories are told of past exploits. It can be as simple as a Master telling a good story of one of their Apprentices, or perhaps they may tell a story of their own time as a Novice, before their rise to power.

== Military ==

During [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusade holy crusades] waged in the name of Dark Lord Marka Ragnos the cult is led by the Sword of Ragnos, welded by the Vicar, with the blessing of the Sovereign.

=== Raptors ===

The raptors were the elite assassins for the Disciples. Originally formed by [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]] the Night Raptors, as they were known, were intended for the newer members of House Marka Ragnos. After being recommission in 31 ABY the Raptors slow grew to be one of the most elite battleteam in Naga Sadow receiving the accolades of the [[Consul's Own]]. After Naga Sadow lost its clan status in 33 ABY the Night Raptors were decommissioned. However in 35 ABY when the Clan reemerged, [[House Marka Ragnos]] return with its elite battleteam dub simply the Raptors. They now serve the Disciples loyally without regard for their lives.

The '''Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare''' agency, otherwise known as '''SHADOW''', was formed in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]] by [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Executive Director|Executive Director]] [[Kalia Pepoi]] and [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Senior Director|Senior Director]] [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] in response to recent attacks upon the [[Dlarit Corporation|Corporation]] by external threats and because of the "[[Children of Revolution|incident]]" between members of the [[Dlarit Special Operations Group|Special Operations Group]]. The formation of this agency was fully approved by the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Board of Directors|Board of Directors]]; chief amongst them [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#President|President]] [[Locke Sonjie|Sonjie]], [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Vice-president|Vice-president]] [[Atra Ventus|Ventus]] and [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Chairman|Chairman]] [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow|Sadow]]. SHADOW operates as a near-autonomous branch within the Dlarit Corporation under the umbrella of the Special Operations Group, its members receiving clearance above and beyond that of normal SOG personnel to the point that they report directly to the agency's directors and are permitted use of all SOG assets needed for their missions up to and including personnel.

==History==
[[TBA]]

==Operational Directives==
SHADOW agents have been granted a high degree of autonomy and oversight by order of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Board of Directors|Board of Directors]]; the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Executive Director|Executive]] and [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Senior Director|Senior Directors]] assigning each agent specific tasks to ensure the continued success and security of the [[Dlarit Corporation]]. Utilizing the mentality that "the best defense is a good offense", many of the missions carried out by SHADOW agents are classified as [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_operation Black Ops] and fall under the field of "Operational Warfare". As classified by the SOG directives, "Operational Warfare" are missions wherein agents of the Special Operations Group use any means necessary to attain strategic and/or operational objectives. These missions have been known to fall anywhere from sabotage and subterfuge to assassination and beyond; SHADOW agents are assigned to their missions based on their existing talents and are given further privileges within the agency based on their loyalty to the Corporation above all else.

==Operational Headquarters==
As an Agency that focused on subtly and stealth as opposed to pure military might, SHADOW maintains several operational Headquarters and safe-houses to ensure that their agents are capable of obtaining their mission objectives. Locations outside of the [[Orian system]] are notably redacted from any material that could potentially be released publicly and rumor holds that these locations are constantly relocated by order of the agency's Directors, the pair themselves knowing the location of each agent and safe-house without documentation.

* <u>"'''Dawn'''", North Tower Executive Levels, [[Ragnos Cathedral|Alabrek Citadel]], [[Tarthos]]</u>
** The Public face of SHADOW is located high within the Executive Levels of the Alabrek Citadel, while still restricted to the public these offices are generally utilized by agents unfit for field work or are used when dignitaries from outside the Dlarit Corporation are present upon Tarthos.
* <u>"'''Twilight'''", Auxilary, Alabrek Citadel, Tarthos</u>
** The main base of operation for SHADOW is a highly restricted sector of the Alabrek Auxilary beneath the Citadel, further details have been withheld at this time.
* <u>"'''Horizon'''", REDACTED, [[Aeotheran]]</u>
** REDACTED
* <u>"'''Overlord'''", Underground, [[Temples of Orian|Temple of Shadow]], [[Sepros]]</u>
** Located deep beneath the former Temple of Shadow, this facility is highly classified and equally restricted to most members of the Dlarit Corporation; utilized primarily as a personal bunker for the Chairman and his family should the system be compromised by hostile forces, this facility has amongst the most secure systems in the Orian system and outside of extreme emergencies is utilized only by the most esteemed members of SHADOW for data acquisition as there are no armories located within this location.
*<u>"'''Crucible'''", REDACTED, [[Inos Moon 18|Inos]]</u>
**Once a testing ground for prototype weaponry and armor for SHADOW, it is now the main base of operations for SHADOW's elite forces, namely [[Scepter of Ragnos]].

==Trivia==
* SHADOW was developed with the purpose of utilizing members of [[Marka Ragnos|House Marka Ragnos]] in their new role as the "Shield of Sadow"
* A few elements of [http://www.marvel.com Marvel's] "[http://marvel.wikia.com/Strategic_Hazard_Intervention_Espionage_Logistics_Directorate_%28Earth-616%29 S.H.I.E.L.D.]" have slipped within SHADOW following a description of how [[Marka Ragnos]] and [[Shar Dakhan]] behave with one another

'''Marka Ragnos''' is a restored [[House]] of [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]] in the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood of Dark Jedi]]. Originally founded in 14 ABY and formed out of the Disciples of Ragnos. It was dissolved into a Battleteam after the Great Clans of the Brotherhood were reverted to Houses. During the anniversary of the Exodus in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]], House Marka Ragnos was restored at the blessing of the [[Clan Summit]]. Marka Ragnos is the only surviving House out of the original three of Clan Naga Sadow; the other sister Houses were [[House Ludo Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] and [[House Primus Goluud|Primus Goluud]].

For more information and the organization of the House please please view the [[House Marka Ragnos Prospectus]]

==History==

The story of [[House Marka Ragnos]] begins some 5,300 years before the Battle of Yavin, when the [[Dark Lord of the Sith]], [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] himself, began his reign over the Sith Empire. Under his rule a Golden Age was ushered in. Ragnos ruled with unparalleled success for 300 years. During his final years, he established a cult like society of warriors, scholars and other figures who swore an oath of loyalty to him.

Even after Marka Ragnos was succeeded by Lord Naga Sadow, this cult remained loyal to him and left Korriban, wandering across the galaxy with no destination in mind. In their travels, this cult came across the planet Karana III and settled there. They began calling themselves the ''[[Disciples of Ragnos]]'' and continued to worship their master and practice his dark doctrine. However, the Disciples were eventually driven away from Karana, and they settled on the planet Loki in the [[Phare system]].

It was not long before [[Tron|Astronicus Sadow]], the last surviving descendant of Lord Naga Sadow, came to Phare and asked the Disciples to join him under the flag of House Naga Sadow. The numbers of House Naga Sadow grew and it slowly became one of the most powerful houses within the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. In 17 ABY it became [[Clan Naga Sadow]] and the Disciples of Ragnos were reformed into House Marka Ragnos. The [[starwars:Epistle of Marka Ragnos|Epistle of Marka Ragnos]] continued to live on within the House, adored in the traditions of old. As the years passed, the House grew and new tradition were made. The Disciples slowly earned respect from within the clan and outside of it.

In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], a decade and a half after the unit's ascension to Clan Status, the Dark Council at the behest of the [[Grand Master]] determined that all of the Great Clans of the Brotherhood needed to be reformed into Houses seeing the surviving Houses of Kressh and Ragnos dissolved into House Naga Sadow. However the Disciples survived in the form of [[Battleteam Marka Ragnos]]. It wasn’t long before Naga Sadow once again earned clan status and the Disciples saw the return of their great house.

For the full history of House Marka Ragnos, [[House Marka Ragnos History|refer here]].

==Disciples of Ragnos==
{{Main|[[Disciples of Ragnos]]}}
The '''Disciples of Ragnos''' are a theocratic cult that believes in the divinity of Marka Ragnos. The cult is shrouded in secrecy only those who are disciples know who the other disciples are.

{{Main|[[Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare]]}}
The '''Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare''' unit, also known as SHADOW, was a covert-operations unit within Naga Sadow and their related [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]].

[[House Marka Ragnos]] is the last original [[House]] of [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]] in the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood of Dark Jedi]].

== Government and Politics ==

=== Dlarit Corporation ===

[[Tarthos]] serves as the home and seat of power for Marka Ragnos. The planet is controlled by the [[Dlarit Corporation]] but has allowed a small representative government to deal with small political and non-corporation issues. Each settlement on the planet is represented by a civilian elected official known as a Mayor. The various Corporate Assets, like Training Facilities and Mining Operations, scattered across the planet are managed by Commerce Directors or Military Prefects. The planet as a whole is govern by a Governor who is appointed by the Board of Directors instead of being elected by the civilian population. While the Governor is seen as the corporation’s chief representative on the public front, he is still a puppet of the Corporation’s true masters. Behind the scenes the Quaestor of Marka Ragnos is the primary overseer of the Corporation’s assets on Tarthos. [[Kalia Pepoi]] as Quaestor holds the title of Executive Director and is the Governor’s direct superior. Power over the civilian population still falls on the shoulders of the Governor.

While [[Markosian City]] is the capital of Tarthos and the seat of government it is not home to the true rulers of the planet. The city of [[Kar Alabrek]] is the former capital of Tarthos and the site of the [[Alabrek Castle]], better know as the '''Ragnos Cathedral'''. While most of Kar Alabrek is controlled by the local civilian government, the castle and its surrounding area is controlled by the Executive Director.

The executive and legislative branches of Tarthos are controlled by the Executive Director and his cabinet. The cabinet is composed of the most senior Corporation officers on Tarthos to include the Exeuctive Director's senior aide, the Senior Director, the planet's Governor, the planet's military commander and the various Commerce Directors and Military Prefects. With the help of the cabinet the Executive Director does what is nessacary to ensure proper control and growth of Tarthos's populace and it's Corporation assets.

=== SHADOW ===

== Society and Culture ==

===Religion ===

====Disciples of Ragnos====

The Disciples of Ragnos are a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theocracy theocratic] society that believe Dark Lord [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] to be divine. His [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divinity divinity] is recognized through the Sovereign of Ragnos.

The Disciples themselves are also seen as divine by the normal populace of Tarthos and consider the main religion of the planet. The Dark Lord's own [[starwars:Epistle of Marka Ragnos|doctrine]] is used in mass to help the Dark Jedi of Tarthos understand the true power and divinity of Marka Ragnos.

{{Main|[[Disciples of Ragnos]]}} At present time the Disciples of Ragnos are not an in-character organisation as depicted in the article linked; the page is being kept for historical reference purposes.

=== Holidays and Festivals ===

==== Holidays ====

=====The Long Day=====
Formerly observed on June 21, it celebrated the day [[Shan Long]] (then Trevarus Caerik) assumed the title of House Overlord. This holiday is no long observed.

=====Day of Ragnos=====
Celebrated on December 21, this day celebrates the first day of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos's]] reign over the Sith Empire.

==== Festivals ====

=====The Wild Hunt=====

In ancient times, it was believed that there were forces beyond understanding that would sweep down from the skies during the fiercest of thunderstorms to take the lives of whomever they deemed unworthy. Never seen and killing with brutal efficiency, this superstition has survived the test of time.

The Jedi of the Brotherhood, ever believing in their own superiority and the need to exert this over others, have revived this tradition. It is more public than in ages past, a sign to all in Naga Sadow-controlled territories who their masters are.

The Ritual begins with a prayer to the ancient Lord of the Clan, Naga Sadow, while the members of the Houses pray to their benefactors after whom their Houses are named: Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh, respectively. They pray for strength and cunning in the festivities to come and hope that these fearsome beings smile on them as the ritual begins.

As with any population, there are those who have decided not to take the Clan as their Masters, and ignore the rules and regulations set on them by the Clan and the Dlarit Corporation. These prisoners are released periodically and hunted down by the Clan, as a showing of their authority and to send a clear message that insubordination cannot, and will not, be tolerated. The prisoners are released and told to use any means necessary to procure their own freedom; they are told that those who manage to escape will be offered their freedom: the need for such emancipation has yet to arise. Every prisoner released has always found their end at the hands of a member of the Clan.

The ritual serves several important ends: it establishes and maintains the authority of the Clan in their space as they inspire fear and dread in the local populations; it serves as a chance for individual members of the Clan to show their leaders their prowess; and it serves to cull the local prisoner population, as well and quelling any thoughts of dissent.

=====The Rite of Quietus=====

Even the most powerful of Dark Jedi can boast the most humble origins. Indeed, mystics of the Final Way preach that the smallest of factors can have the most powerful effect on any individual. Naturally, the annals of power that Clan Naga Sadow is built on on has its own histories. It is the Rite of Quietus that helps the Clan to remember those who have gone before.

The Rite is primarily a form of ancestor worship, though the term 'ancestor' is used to signify any people, place, or event that has shaped a Dark Jedi into the being they are today. A Dark Jedi is, after all, the product of all of their experiences.

It is a time of self-reflection for the Clan, as each individual is asked to remember those who they have come into contact with, who have had a lasting effect on their lives and who have since passed into memory. A wide variety of reactions are brought forth from the Jedi: some fondly remember parents, spouses, and childhood friends. Some may remember other members of the Clan, or those of other Clans. Master and Apprentice may decide to show their appreciation for each other, and families may decide to celebrate their victories and defeats. By the same token, someone may perform a personal ritual to torture someone who has caused them pain, or swear their undying enmity for someone who has slighted them. Either way, the Rite serves as an affirmation to those who have had an impact on the life of the Jedi in question, whether positive or negative.

One of the central figures in the Rite are the Lords of the Sith who serve as inspiration. Prayers are offered to Naga Sadow, Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh with the hope that they might look upon the Clan with fondness. What these beings actually feel about the Clan, or individual members, is something that only they would know.

=====The Festival of Renewal=====

It is a fact of life: empires, kingdoms, and the lives of every being will eventually come to an end, to be replaced with something new. Though to the mystical Dark Jedi this concept seems to hold less meaning, especially to those so powerful that they can transfer their essences into the bodies of others, it is still known that everything goes through a cycle.

The Festival of Renewal is dedicated to those members of the Clan who, while not as powerful as their Overlords, still have their part to play in the daily workings of the Clan. It takes a special kind of courage to realize the power within oneself and to try and harness it by joining the Brotherhood; often this takes sacrifice as well. It is this festival that pays homage to that sacrifice.

Even the lowliest Acolyte has the potential to one day become Grand Master, and it is this potential that must be nurtured and properly trained in order to achieve that status. However, it should also be fun, and this is the one moment in the Clan in which all eyes are on them.

The festival itself is meant to be a welcome reprieve from the harsh training regimens and study periods. Games are played, food and drink are served, and stories are told of past exploits. It can be as simple as a Master telling a good story of one of their Apprentices, or perhaps they may tell a story of their own time as a Novice, before their rise to power.

=== Holidays and Festivals ===

==== Holidays ====

=====The Long Day=====
Formerly observed on June 21, it celebrated the day [[Shan Long]] (then Trevarus Caerik) assumed the title of House Overlord. This holiday is no long observed.

=====Day of Ragnos=====
Celebrated on December 21, this day celebrates the first day of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos's]] reign over the Sith Empire.

==== Festivals ====

=====The Wild Hunt=====

In ancient times, it was believed that there were forces beyond understanding that would sweep down from the skies during the fiercest of thunderstorms to take the lives of whomever they deemed unworthy. Never seen and killing with brutal efficiency, this superstition has survived the test of time.

The Jedi of the Brotherhood, ever believing in their own superiority and the need to exert this over others, have revived this tradition. It is more public than in ages past, a sign to all in Naga Sadow-controlled territories who their masters are.

The Ritual begins with a prayer to the ancient Lord of the Clan, Naga Sadow, while the members of the Houses pray to their benefactors after whom their Houses are named: Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh, respectively. They pray for strength and cunning in the festivities to come and hope that these fearsome beings smile on them as the ritual begins.

As with any population, there are those who have decided not to take the Clan as their Masters, and ignore the rules and regulations set on them by the Clan and the Dlarit Corporation. These prisoners are released periodically and hunted down by the Clan, as a showing of their authority and to send a clear message that insubordination cannot, and will not, be tolerated. The prisoners are released and told to use any means necessary to procure their own freedom; they are told that those who manage to escape will be offered their freedom: the need for such emancipation has yet to arise. Every prisoner released has always found their end at the hands of a member of the Clan.

The ritual serves several important ends: it establishes and maintains the authority of the Clan in their space as they inspire fear and dread in the local populations; it serves as a chance for individual members of the Clan to show their leaders their prowess; and it serves to cull the local prisoner population, as well and quelling any thoughts of dissent.

=====The Rite of Quietus=====

Even the most powerful of Dark Jedi can boast the most humble origins. Indeed, mystics of the Final Way preach that the smallest of factors can have the most powerful effect on any individual. Naturally, the annals of power that Clan Naga Sadow is built on on has its own histories. It is the Rite of Quietus that helps the Clan to remember those who have gone before.

The Rite is primarily a form of ancestor worship, though the term 'ancestor' is used to signify any people, place, or event that has shaped a Dark Jedi into the being they are today. A Dark Jedi is, after all, the product of all of their experiences.

It is a time of self-reflection for the Clan, as each individual is asked to remember those who they have come into contact with, who have had a lasting effect on their lives and who have since passed into memory. A wide variety of reactions are brought forth from the Jedi: some fondly remember parents, spouses, and childhood friends. Some may remember other members of the Clan, or those of other Clans. Master and Apprentice may decide to show their appreciation for each other, and families may decide to celebrate their victories and defeats. By the same token, someone may perform a personal ritual to torture someone who has caused them pain, or swear their undying enmity for someone who has slighted them. Either way, the Rite serves as an affirmation to those who have had an impact on the life of the Jedi in question, whether positive or negative.

One of the central figures in the Rite are the Lords of the Sith who serve as inspiration. Prayers are offered to Naga Sadow, Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh with the hope that they might look upon the Clan with fondness. What these beings actually feel about the Clan, or individual members, is something that only they would know.

=====The Festival of Renewal=====

It is a fact of life: empires, kingdoms, and the lives of every being will eventually come to an end, to be replaced with something new. Though to the mystical Dark Jedi this concept seems to hold less meaning, especially to those so powerful that they can transfer their essences into the bodies of others, it is still known that everything goes through a cycle.

The Festival of Renewal is dedicated to those members of the Clan who, while not as powerful as their Overlords, still have their part to play in the daily workings of the Clan. It takes a special kind of courage to realize the power within oneself and to try and harness it by joining the Brotherhood; often this takes sacrifice as well. It is this festival that pays homage to that sacrifice.

Even the lowliest Acolyte has the potential to one day become Grand Master, and it is this potential that must be nurtured and properly trained in order to achieve that status. However, it should also be fun, and this is the one moment in the Clan in which all eyes are on them.

The festival itself is meant to be a welcome reprieve from the harsh training regimens and study periods. Games are played, food and drink are served, and stories are told of past exploits. It can be as simple as a Master telling a good story of one of their Apprentices, or perhaps they may tell a story of their own time as a Novice, before their rise to power.

[[House Marka Ragnos]] is the last original [[House]] of [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]] in the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood of Dark Jedi]].

== Government and Politics ==

=== Dlarit Corporation ===

[[Tarthos]] serves as the home and seat of power for Marka Ragnos. The planet is controlled by the [[Dlarit Corporation]] but has allowed a small representative government to deal with small political and non-corporation issues. Each settlement on the planet is represented by a civilian elected official known as a Mayor. The various Corporate Assets, like Training Facilities and Mining Operations, scattered across the planet are managed by Commerce Directors or Military Prefects. The planet as a whole is govern by a Governor who is appointed by the Board of Directors instead of being elected by the civilian population. While the Governor is seen as the corporation’s chief representative on the public front, he is still a puppet of the Corporation’s true masters. Behind the scenes the Quaestor of Marka Ragnos is the primary overseer of the Corporation’s assets on Tarthos. [[Kalia Pepoi]] as Quaestor holds the title of Executive Director and is the Governor’s direct superior. Power over the civilian population still falls on the shoulders of the Governor.

While [[Markosian City]] is the capital of Tarthos and the seat of government it is not home to the true rulers of the planet. The city of [[Kar Alabrek]] is the former capital of Tarthos and the site of the [[Alabrek Castle]], better know as the '''Ragnos Cathedral'''. While most of Kar Alabrek is controlled by the local civilian government, the castle and its surrounding area is controlled by the Executive Director.

The executive and legislative branches of Tarthos are controlled by the Executive Director and his cabinet. The cabinet is composed of the most senior Corporation officers on Tarthos to include the Exeuctive Director's senior aide, the Senior Director, the planet's Governor, the planet's military commander and the various Commerce Directors and Military Prefects. With the help of the cabinet the Executive Director does what is nessacary to ensure proper control and growth of Tarthos's populace and it's Corporation assets.

=== SHADOW ===

{{Main|[[Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare]]}}
The '''Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare''' unit, also known as SHADOW, was a covert-operations unit within Naga Sadow and their related [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]]. While they tend to be the spooks or intelligence operatives of the Disciples of Sadow, their unique skills have proven a boon in ensuring that Naga Sadow can respond swiftly to a threat and keep the knowledge of their true identity well hidden from the general populous. All members of Marka Ragnos are operatives within SHADOW.

=== Overlord of Ragnos ===

The '''Overlord of Ragnos''', also known as the House Overlord s not an official leadership position in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Overlord was the symbolic leader of the House and was last held by the patriarch of the Disciples, Trevarus Caerick, until his betrayal. The position has remained vacant till this day.

'''Marka Ragnos''' is a restored [[House]] of [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]] in the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood of Dark Jedi]]. Originally founded in 14 ABY and formed out of the Disciples of Ragnos. It was dissolved into a Battleteam after the Great Clans of the Brotherhood were reverted to Houses. During the anniversary of the Exodus in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]], House Marka Ragnos was restored at the blessing of the [[Clan Summit]]. Marka Ragnos is the only surviving House out of the original three of Clan Naga Sadow; the other sister Houses were [[House Ludo Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] and [[House Primus Goluud|Primus Goluud]].

For more information and the organization of the House please please view the [[House Marka Ragnos Prospectus]]

==History==

The story of [[House Marka Ragnos]] begins some 5,300 years before the Battle of Yavin, when the [[Dark Lord of the Sith]], [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] himself, began his reign over the Sith Empire. Under his rule a Golden Age was ushered in. Ragnos ruled with unparalleled success for 300 years. During his final years, he established a cult like society of warriors, scholars and other figures who swore an oath of loyalty to him.

Even after Marka Ragnos was succeeded by Lord Naga Sadow, this cult remained loyal to him and left Korriban, wandering across the galaxy with no destination in mind. In their travels, this cult came across the planet Karana III and settled there. They began calling themselves the ''[[Disciples of Ragnos]]'' and continued to worship their master and practice his dark doctrine. However, the Disciples were eventually driven away from Karana, and they settled on the planet Loki in the [[Phare system]].

It was not long before [[Tron|Astronicus Sadow]], the last surviving descendant of Lord Naga Sadow, came to Phare and asked the Disciples to join him under the flag of House Naga Sadow. The numbers of House Naga Sadow grew and it slowly became one of the most powerful houses within the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. In 17 ABY it became [[Clan Naga Sadow]] and the Disciples of Ragnos were reformed into House Marka Ragnos. The [[starwars:Epistle of Marka Ragnos|Epistle of Marka Ragnos]] continued to live on within the House, adored in the traditions of old. As the years passed, the House grew and new tradition were made. The Disciples slowly earned respect from within the clan and outside of it.

In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], a decade and a half after the unit's ascension to Clan Status, the Dark Council at the behest of the [[Grand Master]] determined that all of the Great Clans of the Brotherhood needed to be reformed into Houses seeing the surviving Houses of Kressh and Ragnos dissolved into House Naga Sadow. However the Disciples survived in the form of [[Battleteam Marka Ragnos]]. It wasn’t long before Naga Sadow once again earned clan status and the Disciples saw the return of their great house.

==Disciples of Ragnos==
{{Main|[[Disciples of Ragnos]]}}
The '''Disciples of Ragnos''' are a theocratic cult that believes in the divinity of Marka Ragnos. The cult is shrouded in secrecy only those who are disciples know who the other disciples are.
At present time the Disciples of Ragnos are not an in-character organisation as depicted in the article linked.

{{Main|[[Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare]]}}
The '''Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare''' unit, also known as SHADOW, was a covert-operations unit within Naga Sadow and their related [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]]. While they tend to be the spooks or intelligence operatives of the Disciples of Sadow, their unique skills have proven a boon in ensuring that Naga Sadow can respond swiftly to a threat and keep the knowledge of their true identity well hidden from the general populous. All members of Marka Ragnos are operatives within SHADOW.

[[House Marka Ragnos]] is the last original [[House]] of [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]] in the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood of Dark Jedi]].

== Government and Politics ==

=== Dlarit Corporation ===

[[Tarthos]] serves as the home and seat of power for Marka Ragnos. The planet is controlled by the [[Dlarit Corporation]] but has allowed a small representative government to deal with small political and non-corporation issues. Each settlement on the planet is represented by a civilian elected official known as a Mayor. The various Corporate Assets, like Training Facilities and Mining Operations, scattered across the planet are managed by Commerce Directors or Military Prefects. The planet as a whole is govern by a Governor who is appointed by the Board of Directors instead of being elected by the civilian population. While the Governor is seen as the corporation’s chief representative on the public front, he is still a puppet of the Corporation’s true masters. Behind the scenes the Quaestor of Marka Ragnos is the primary overseer of the Corporation’s assets on Tarthos. [[Jeric Cyrin]] as Quaestor hold the title of Executive Director and is the Governor’s direct superior. Power over the civilian population still falls on the shoulders of the Governor.

While [[Markosian City]] is the capital of Tarthos and the seat of government it is not home to the true rulers of the planet. The city of [[Kar Alabrek]] is the former capital of Tarthos and the site of the [[Alabrek Castle]], better know as the '''Ragnos Cathedral'''. While most of Kar Alabrek is controlled by the local civilian government, the castle and its surrounding area is controlled by the Executive Director.

The executive and legislative branches of Tarthos are controlled by the Executive Director and his cabinet. The cabinet is composed of the most senior Corporation officers on Tarthos to include the Exeuctive Director's senior aide, the Senior Director, the planet's Governor, the planet's military commander and the various Commerce Directors and Military Prefects. With the help of the cabinet the Executive Director does what is nessacary to ensure proper control and growth of Tarthos's populace and it's Corporation assets.

=== Overlord of Ragnos ===

The '''Overlord of Ragnos''', also known as the House Overlord s not an official leadership position in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Overlord was the symbolic leader of the House and was last held by the patriarch of the Disciples, Trevarus Caerick, until his betrayal. The position has remained vacant till this day.

{{Main|[[House Overlord (Clan Naga Sadow)]]}}

== Society and Culture ==

===Religion ===

====Disciples of Ragnos====

The Disciples of Ragnos are a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theocracy theocratic] society that believe Dark Lord [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] to be divine. His [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divinity divinity] is recognized through the Sovereign of Ragnos.

The Disciples themselves are also seen as divine by the normal populace of Tarthos and consider the main religion of the planet. The Dark Lord's own [[starwars:Epistle of Marka Ragnos|doctrine]] is used in mass to help the Dark Jedi of Tarthos understand the true power and divinity of Marka Ragnos.

=== Holidays and Festivals ===

==== Holidays ====

=====The Long Day=====
Formerly observed on June 21, it celebrated the day [[Shan Long]] (then Trevarus Caerik) assumed the title of House Overlord. This holiday is no long observed.

=====Day of Ragnos=====
Celebrated on December 21, this day celebrates the first day of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos's]] reign over the Sith Empire.

==== Festivals ====

=====The Wild Hunt=====

In ancient times, it was believed that there were forces beyond understanding that would sweep down from the skies during the fiercest of thunderstorms to take the lives of whomever they deemed unworthy. Never seen and killing with brutal efficiency, this superstition has survived the test of time.

The Jedi of the Brotherhood, ever believing in their own superiority and the need to exert this over others, have revived this tradition. It is more public than in ages past, a sign to all in Naga Sadow-controlled territories who their masters are.

The Ritual begins with a prayer to the ancient Lord of the Clan, Naga Sadow, while the members of the Houses pray to their benefactors after whom their Houses are named: Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh, respectively. They pray for strength and cunning in the festivities to come and hope that these fearsome beings smile on them as the ritual begins.

As with any population, there are those who have decided not to take the Clan as their Masters, and ignore the rules and regulations set on them by the Clan and the Dlarit Corporation. These prisoners are released periodically and hunted down by the Clan, as a showing of their authority and to send a clear message that insubordination cannot, and will not, be tolerated. The prisoners are released and told to use any means necessary to procure their own freedom; they are told that those who manage to escape will be offered their freedom: the need for such emancipation has yet to arise. Every prisoner released has always found their end at the hands of a member of the Clan.

The ritual serves several important ends: it establishes and maintains the authority of the Clan in their space as they inspire fear and dread in the local populations; it serves as a chance for individual members of the Clan to show their leaders their prowess; and it serves to cull the local prisoner population, as well and quelling any thoughts of dissent.

=====The Rite of Quietus=====

Even the most powerful of Dark Jedi can boast the most humble origins. Indeed, mystics of the Final Way preach that the smallest of factors can have the most powerful effect on any individual. Naturally, the annals of power that Clan Naga Sadow is built on on has its own histories. It is the Rite of Quietus that helps the Clan to remember those who have gone before.

The Rite is primarily a form of ancestor worship, though the term 'ancestor' is used to signify any people, place, or event that has shaped a Dark Jedi into the being they are today. A Dark Jedi is, after all, the product of all of their experiences.

It is a time of self-reflection for the Clan, as each individual is asked to remember those who they have come into contact with, who have had a lasting effect on their lives and who have since passed into memory. A wide variety of reactions are brought forth from the Jedi: some fondly remember parents, spouses, and childhood friends. Some may remember other members of the Clan, or those of other Clans. Master and Apprentice may decide to show their appreciation for each other, and families may decide to celebrate their victories and defeats. By the same token, someone may perform a personal ritual to torture someone who has caused them pain, or swear their undying enmity for someone who has slighted them. Either way, the Rite serves as an affirmation to those who have had an impact on the life of the Jedi in question, whether positive or negative.

One of the central figures in the Rite are the Lords of the Sith who serve as inspiration. Prayers are offered to Naga Sadow, Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh with the hope that they might look upon the Clan with fondness. What these beings actually feel about the Clan, or individual members, is something that only they would know.

=====The Festival of Renewal=====

It is a fact of life: empires, kingdoms, and the lives of every being will eventually come to an end, to be replaced with something new. Though to the mystical Dark Jedi this concept seems to hold less meaning, especially to those so powerful that they can transfer their essences into the bodies of others, it is still known that everything goes through a cycle.

The Festival of Renewal is dedicated to those members of the Clan who, while not as powerful as their Overlords, still have their part to play in the daily workings of the Clan. It takes a special kind of courage to realize the power within oneself and to try and harness it by joining the Brotherhood; often this takes sacrifice as well. It is this festival that pays homage to that sacrifice.

Even the lowliest Acolyte has the potential to one day become Grand Master, and it is this potential that must be nurtured and properly trained in order to achieve that status. However, it should also be fun, and this is the one moment in the Clan in which all eyes are on them.

The festival itself is meant to be a welcome reprieve from the harsh training regimens and study periods. Games are played, food and drink are served, and stories are told of past exploits. It can be as simple as a Master telling a good story of one of their Apprentices, or perhaps they may tell a story of their own time as a Novice, before their rise to power.

== Military ==

During [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusade holy crusades] waged in the name of Dark Lord Marka Ragnos the cult is led by the Sword of Ragnos, welded by the Vicar, with the blessing of the Sovereign.

=== Raptors ===

The raptors were the elite assassins for the Disciples. Originally formed by [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]] the Night Raptors, as they were known, were intended for the newer members of House Marka Ragnos. After being recommission in 31 ABY the Raptors slow grew to be one of the most elite battleteam in Naga Sadow receiving the accolades of the [[Consul's Own]]. After Naga Sadow lost its clan status in 33 ABY the Night Raptors were decommissioned. However in 35 ABY when the Clan reemerged, [[House Marka Ragnos]] return with its elite battleteam dub simply the Raptors. They now serve the Disciples loyally without regard for their lives. The Raptors is lead by the Disciple's Vicar.

''The '''Disciples of Ragnos Castes''' were purely a fictional device for members of [[House]] Marka Ragnos to use for character development. At present time the Disciples of Ragnos are not an in-character organisation as depicted below; this page is being kept for historical reference purposes.''

An [[Initiate]] of Ragnos may choose between one of the three castes which suits their character best. The three castes are known as Dremora, Defender and Keeper (which gets it name from being the first caste an Initiate can use). As a member advances to Disciple of Ragnos and Vizier of Ragnos, so does the caste they are affiliated with. Avatars of Ragnos and Progeny of Ragnos are seen as masters of these fictional castes.

== The Castes ==
<pre>''Vizier of Ragnos'' '''Hegemon''' '''Cleric''' '''Warder'''
| | |
''Disciple of Ragnos'' '''Zealot''' '''Advocate''' '''Custodian'''
| | |
''Initiate of Ragnos'' '''Dremora''' '''Defender''' '''Keeper'''
</pre>

=== Dremora's Caste ===
From the dawn of time, the Dark Side has subjugated its own devotees, warping their thoughts with promises of unending power, undying life, transcending all. Its siren call has moved entire star systems and lifted its most diligent adepts from relative obscurity to the heights of galactic power and authority. The Disciples of Ragnos base their claims to eminence as first amongst equals on their inherited legacy of apostolic succession from Naga Sadow and Marka Ragnos himself – but more importantly, on the their unique outlook and approach to the adepthood of the Dark Side.

The wise Disciples understand that 'power at any cost' implies power gained, but possibly to the detriment of its seeker on the whole. 'From learning, comes wisdom and from wisdom, springs power.' These words have long been the motto of those who seek harmony with the Dark Side, neither ruling it nor being ruled by it.

The Epistle of Marka Ragnos and more recent works such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] are regarded as the ultimate authority in matters, spiritual and esoteric. Comprehensive and detailed in much of the dark mysticism of the Force, these tomes explicitly detail a brutal, cruel, but simple vision of the [[Final Way]], and those who find themselves on the path of the Dremora are charged with the holy duty of seeing this dark vision realized.

Their lot is that of the purging soldier, riding forth at the head of the dread host with cleansing flame one one hand to sear the flesh of the unenlightened and with dark sorcery on the other, to flay the souls of ignorant, erasing all undesirables from the [[Galaxy]] in preparation for a new age.

Where the mighty Hand of Ragnos points and the Sword of Ragnos slashes with razor precision, the followers of the Dremora discipline follow and wage war like only a religious fanatic can. They belong to a militant order of soldiers unique for their utter devotion to the Dark Doctrine. These dark knights endure entire seasons of intensive training under the watchful eye of the Patriarch and his Sword in the various arenas of warfare, learning to maximize their destructive output through facility with the Dark Side and mundane instruments of violence alike. Where most of the Disciples' approach is thoughtful and favors the mental prowess over all else, the priority of purpose of these paladins is open combat first; they are trained to be spectacular engines of slaughter foremost.

These fearsome warmongers are universally recognized by their distinctive blood-red waist sash, which is in fact a stole from the shoulders of the Dark Patriarch, granted to the initiate from the time of their dedication rite on the road many refer to as the path of the Scourge of Ragnos. This stole is stitched with fine gold bouillon in intricate weave with the crest of Marka Ragnos displayed prominently on each end of the stole's fine silk, marking the wearer as a righteous crusader of the Ragnosian legacy.

As the first step on the path the Dremora dedicates his efforts to excellence in the field; the new paladin is expected to serve in no fewer than three major campaigns or conflicts, proving first and foremost their mettle in the theaters of war. As their prowess sharpens and they ascend to the Zealot caste, his indoctrination begins in earnest, and the knight of vengeance is recalled for long weeks of solitary contemplation and martial practice in the confines of the chapter house on [[Tarthos]]. Once this done and the Zealot has proven his unswerving devotion to the cause, they are elevated to the lofty plateau of the Hegemon caste, whereupon they are pledged into the service of a senior aide of the Sword of Ragnos, becoming a trusted lieutenant and leading the Disciples' into open warfare when the need arises.

War being their domain this extends to the rite of the [[Krath]] Holy Crusade; however, as with many other elements of the cult, this practice has evolved over the centuries; the Disciples know that the 'secret society' that was the origin of the contemporary Krath had many complexities and facets of meaning, often veiled in esoteric allegory. One being the very meaning of the phrase 'secret society'. Not only does this imply that the organization and its actions are hidden from the galaxy as a whole, but also that that selfsame society is one dedicated to the pursuit of secrets, of lore, of the learning of the hidden things.

The ingenuity of obfuscation was seen as early as ascendancy of [[Darth]] Revan, who would impart the understanding of the unseen upon the [[Sith]] that followed him, leading eventually to Darth Bane's implementation of The Rule of Two. In even this we see that the Krath have developed their own unique traditions and practices in the Dark Side; theirs are not merely a bastardization of Sith principles, as some ignorant bigots would insist.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the modern Krath Holy Crusade. The Dremora is the faceless tourist who passes you on the street moments before explosions rock the municipal district. She is the smiling dancer on the arm of the passing politician moments before he is found dead in an his office with all of his sensitive documents missing. The Dremora are trained to follow the intricacies of every method of warfare, subtle and overt, and once directed to a target they are relentless in their efforts to subjugate and neutralize it.

=== Defender's Caste ===
"Oh Dark Child of Ragnos what are you willing to give for your house? What is your life compared to the life of the very pillar of your meaning? Are you willing to give that life for the Great Spirit of Ragnos? The Defender's caste is not for the self important. It is a path of total service. It is your charge to assure that the great secrets and the [[Keepers]] of those secrets are made secure."

In the hours of greatest despair, in the void of the unknown, in the fires of deepest fears will stand the shields of our hope. The Defender's path will charge only the bravest and most confident of disciples, for their charge is of the most critical to support. Led by the mighty Hand of Ragnos, the Defenders of the Dark Doctrine of Ragnos are set to give their very life to assure that the House lives on even if they themselves should not.

A Defender gladly pays the ultimate sacrifice for the Doctrine to spread and live on. It is with their blood that the greatest Legacy in the Galaxy shall survive. Often given missions of delivery of special artifacts or even people they are also the visible arm of defense of the inner sanctum of [[Ragnos Cathedral]].

Where a Defender of Ragnos stands none shall pass. There has never been a single recording of a Defender of Ragnos failing to keep their charge safe. Their determination and fortitude are the stuff of legends and to enter onto the path is to willingly accept the life of suffering and pain only to be released upon your death. Yet even then it is said that a Defender will still hold his post long after his physical self has turned to ash.

A Defender who becomes an Advocate will be trusted with the safe keeping of the most closely guarded secrets the Disciples keep. As such they also help to spread the influence of the Doctrine by assuring that it is well received by those select few who deserve it. Should it be found that the word has fallen onto those who do not deserve it, it is an Advocate who will be sent to correct that and to assure that the Doctrine remains pure.

The highest level on the Path of the Defender is the great Cleric. A Cleric is one who is most trusted by the Hand of Ragnos and is often sought as an advisor and is given the Hand's leave to see that proper Doctrinal practice is kept. The Cleric is a true zealot in the name of Ragnos and their loyalty is beyond reproach or question.

The caste of the Defender is not one for the vain or self glorifying. It is a path for one who is willing to serve something greater than themselves so that they may themselves become greater. One must be willing to fight beyond what their physical body can endure to keep the Doctrine and those who practice it safe. It is the ultimate sacrifice for the ultimate glory.

=== Keeper's Caste ===
In the vastness of the Universe there is mostly darkness. Weaving in between the stars, floating our great ships, pushing our planetary systems about as if children's toys. It is here in which the greatest secrets can be found. Darkness does not always reveal its knowledge however and indeed it often will guard its secrets from those who seek them.

Since the dawn of time creatures have sought to understand the Universe and once understood, bend it to their will. The Universe speaks its own language and keeps its own council as to how it will manifest its greatness however. Naturally this makes finding and then understanding the great secrets perilous and even fatal. The Universe sees fit to give its powers to select few but distorts the gift. Creates races who have difficulty communicating with one another. Histories are twisted to the point of lies. Civilizations war with one another and destroy each other and with them the very secrets that made them great.

It is rare to find a being that can see past the shrouded veil and see true knowledge and wisdom. It is rare to find a creature who can interpret the mysterious language that speaks in stars dying, wars raging, ecosystems changing, lies spreading, and the various ways the Universe sees fit to operate itself. It is rare to find one who willing walks between the systematic chaos in the pursuit of ultimate knowledge. Yet the Great Ragnos has placed his hand upon a few gifted enough to understand the mysterious weavings and dark whisperings which hide true power and greatest potential.

The Keepers are the agents of the Scholar of Ragnos. They are the most keen of mind, the most subtle of wisdom. The gatherers of knowledge and the interpreters of the that knowledge. They are the creators of truth, and the weavers of mystery.

Their training begins with puzzles of the mind. Looking for patterns in the waves of water and explaining what they mean is one of the first of many such tests and as the new Keeper progresses his skills are often pitted against tests which his very survival depends on his successfully solving the puzzle.

The tasks of the Keeper will stretch from the mundane to the transcendent. One day the Keeper might be diving through a trash bin seeking a discarded letter and the next performing a ritual at a mountain top shrine which could twist the fabric of reality. Such is the Path of the Keeper. Part scientist, part archaeologist, part mystic, part spy, all wrapped into a brilliant Disciple, writer of doctrine, and ultimately a Keeper of secrets.

The Keeper begins his duties by assisting others in their educational endeavors in the Force, field work at archaeological sites, research on particular histories, items, people, or events and experimentation. As the Keeper proves himself worthy he may ascend to the position of Custodian where his duties will shift to the more subtle and clandestine. The Custodian is one who is skilled in the arts of subterfuge, intelligence gathering, and counterintelligence. While the mission remains to obtain knowledge and discover truth, the Custodian is able to twist truth to thwart the enemies of Ragnos. A Custodian is also the seeker and protector of various powerful artifacts. Often a Custodian will be sent to retrieve an item which has fallen into the wrong hands be it a private collector, a museum, or the ignorant. The methods used range from peaceful negotiation to complete erasure from existence. Not death... but never existed.

When the Custodian has proven himself in all areas and is superior, he will ascend to the place of Warder who are the most trusted of the Dark Scholar. The Warder's mind is the most keen able to see the vague connections of all things. The first initiation of a new Warder is the glimpse at the Epistle of Ragnos, the surviving document thought to have been penned by Ragnos himself. He will then give his interpretation from that point on it is the duty of the Warder to ensure that knowledge and wisdom within the Epistle is not only passed on correctly but also added to if necessary to ensure that ultimate understanding of the Universe is achieved. The Warder is one who can see a moon pass overhead and tell you what color shoes you are wearing in the next system over. He can hold an item and tell you its detailed history, he can be your friend and your enemy at the same moment and you will not know him in the next.

The Keepers are the makers of knowledge, the shadowy whisper that guides the Disciples and points them towards their greatest self. It was a Keeper who discovered the lost Epistle of Ragnos. It was a Keeper who set down the original Doctrine that would be taught. It was a Keeper who improved the design of the modern lightsaber and it will be a Keeper who will ensure that your Legacy as a Disciple will never die.

[[House Marka Ragnos]] is the last original [[House]] of [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]] in the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood of Dark Jedi]].

== Government and Politics ==

=== Dlarit Corporation ===

[[Tarthos]] serves as the home and seat of power for Marka Ragnos. The planet is controlled by the [[Dlarit Corporation]] but has allowed a small representative government to deal with small political and non-corporation issues. Each settlement on the planet is represented by a civilian elected official known as a Mayor. The various Corporate Assets, like Training Facilities and Mining Operations, scattered across the planet are managed by Commerce Directors or Military Prefects. The planet as a whole is govern by a Governor who is appointed by the Board of Directors instead of being elected by the civilian population. While the Governor is seen as the corporation’s chief representative on the public front, he is still a puppet of the Corporation’s true masters. Behind the scenes the Quaestor of Marka Ragnos is the primary overseer of the Corporation’s assets on Tarthos. [[Jeric Cyrin]] as Quaestor hold the title of Executive Director and is the Governor’s direct superior. Power over the civilian population still falls on the shoulders of the Governor.

While [[Markosian City]] is the capital of Tarthos and the seat of government it is not home to the true rulers of the planet. The city of [[Kar Alabrek]] is the former capital of Tarthos and the site of the [[Alabrek Castle]], better know as the '''Ragnos Cathedral'''. While most of Kar Alabrek is controlled by the local civilian government, the castle and its surrounding area is controlled by the Executive Director.

The executive and legislative branches of Tarthos are controlled by the Executive Director and his cabinet. The cabinet is composed of the most senior Corporation officers on Tarthos to include the Exeuctive Director's senior aide, the Senior Director, the planet's Governor, the planet's military commander and the various Commerce Directors and Military Prefects. With the help of the cabinet the Executive Director does what is nessacary to ensure proper control and growth of Tarthos's populace and it's Corporation assets.

=== Overlord of Ragnos ===

The '''Overlord of Ragnos''', also known as the House Overlord s not an official leadership position in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Overlord was the symbolic leader of the House and was last held by the patriarch of the Disciples, Trevarus Caerick, until his betrayal. The position has remained vacant till this day.

{{Main|[[House Overlord (Clan Naga Sadow)]]}}

== Society and Culture ==

===Religion ===

====Disciples of Ragnos====

The Disciples of Ragnos are a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theocracy theocratic] society that believe Dark Lord [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] to be divine. His [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divinity divinity] is recognized through the Sovereign of Ragnos.

The Disciples themselves are also seen as divine by the normal populace of Tarthos and consider the main religion of the planet. The Dark Lord's own [[starwars:Epistle of Marka Ragnos|doctrine]] is used in mass to help the Dark Jedi of Tarthos understand the true power and divinity of Marka Ragnos.

{{Main|[[Disciples of Ragnos]]}} At present time the Disciples of Ragnos are not an in-character organisation as depicted in the article linked; the page is being kept for historical reference purposes.

=== Holidays and Festivals ===

==== Holidays ====

=====The Long Day=====
Formerly observed on June 21, it celebrated the day [[Shan Long]] (then Trevarus Caerik) assumed the title of House Overlord. This holiday is no long observed.

=====Day of Ragnos=====
Celebrated on December 21, this day celebrates the first day of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos's]] reign over the Sith Empire.

==== Festivals ====

=====The Wild Hunt=====

In ancient times, it was believed that there were forces beyond understanding that would sweep down from the skies during the fiercest of thunderstorms to take the lives of whomever they deemed unworthy. Never seen and killing with brutal efficiency, this superstition has survived the test of time.

The Jedi of the Brotherhood, ever believing in their own superiority and the need to exert this over others, have revived this tradition. It is more public than in ages past, a sign to all in Naga Sadow-controlled territories who their masters are.

The Ritual begins with a prayer to the ancient Lord of the Clan, Naga Sadow, while the members of the Houses pray to their benefactors after whom their Houses are named: Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh, respectively. They pray for strength and cunning in the festivities to come and hope that these fearsome beings smile on them as the ritual begins.

As with any population, there are those who have decided not to take the Clan as their Masters, and ignore the rules and regulations set on them by the Clan and the Dlarit Corporation. These prisoners are released periodically and hunted down by the Clan, as a showing of their authority and to send a clear message that insubordination cannot, and will not, be tolerated. The prisoners are released and told to use any means necessary to procure their own freedom; they are told that those who manage to escape will be offered their freedom: the need for such emancipation has yet to arise. Every prisoner released has always found their end at the hands of a member of the Clan.

The ritual serves several important ends: it establishes and maintains the authority of the Clan in their space as they inspire fear and dread in the local populations; it serves as a chance for individual members of the Clan to show their leaders their prowess; and it serves to cull the local prisoner population, as well and quelling any thoughts of dissent.

=====The Rite of Quietus=====

Even the most powerful of Dark Jedi can boast the most humble origins. Indeed, mystics of the Final Way preach that the smallest of factors can have the most powerful effect on any individual. Naturally, the annals of power that Clan Naga Sadow is built on on has its own histories. It is the Rite of Quietus that helps the Clan to remember those who have gone before.

The Rite is primarily a form of ancestor worship, though the term 'ancestor' is used to signify any people, place, or event that has shaped a Dark Jedi into the being they are today. A Dark Jedi is, after all, the product of all of their experiences.

It is a time of self-reflection for the Clan, as each individual is asked to remember those who they have come into contact with, who have had a lasting effect on their lives and who have since passed into memory. A wide variety of reactions are brought forth from the Jedi: some fondly remember parents, spouses, and childhood friends. Some may remember other members of the Clan, or those of other Clans. Master and Apprentice may decide to show their appreciation for each other, and families may decide to celebrate their victories and defeats. By the same token, someone may perform a personal ritual to torture someone who has caused them pain, or swear their undying enmity for someone who has slighted them. Either way, the Rite serves as an affirmation to those who have had an impact on the life of the Jedi in question, whether positive or negative.

One of the central figures in the Rite are the Lords of the Sith who serve as inspiration. Prayers are offered to Naga Sadow, Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh with the hope that they might look upon the Clan with fondness. What these beings actually feel about the Clan, or individual members, is something that only they would know.

=====The Festival of Renewal=====

It is a fact of life: empires, kingdoms, and the lives of every being will eventually come to an end, to be replaced with something new. Though to the mystical Dark Jedi this concept seems to hold less meaning, especially to those so powerful that they can transfer their essences into the bodies of others, it is still known that everything goes through a cycle.

The Festival of Renewal is dedicated to those members of the Clan who, while not as powerful as their Overlords, still have their part to play in the daily workings of the Clan. It takes a special kind of courage to realize the power within oneself and to try and harness it by joining the Brotherhood; often this takes sacrifice as well. It is this festival that pays homage to that sacrifice.

Even the lowliest Acolyte has the potential to one day become Grand Master, and it is this potential that must be nurtured and properly trained in order to achieve that status. However, it should also be fun, and this is the one moment in the Clan in which all eyes are on them.

The festival itself is meant to be a welcome reprieve from the harsh training regimens and study periods. Games are played, food and drink are served, and stories are told of past exploits. It can be as simple as a Master telling a good story of one of their Apprentices, or perhaps they may tell a story of their own time as a Novice, before their rise to power.

== Military ==

During [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusade holy crusades] waged in the name of Dark Lord Marka Ragnos the cult is led by the Sword of Ragnos, welded by the Vicar, with the blessing of the Sovereign.

=== Raptors ===

The raptors were the elite assassins for the Disciples. Originally formed by [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]] the Night Raptors, as they were known, were intended for the newer members of House Marka Ragnos. After being recommission in 31 ABY the Raptors slow grew to be one of the most elite battleteam in Naga Sadow receiving the accolades of the [[Consul's Own]]. After Naga Sadow lost its clan status in 33 ABY the Night Raptors were decommissioned. However in 35 ABY when the Clan reemerged, [[House Marka Ragnos]] return with its elite battleteam dub simply the Raptors. They now serve the Disciples loyally without regard for their lives. The Raptors is lead by the Disciple's Vicar.

'''Marka Ragnos''' is a restored [[House]] of [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]] in the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood of Dark Jedi]]. Originally founded in 14 ABY and formed out of the Disciples of Ragnos. It was dissolved into a Battleteam after the Great Clans of the Brotherhood were reverted to Houses. During the anniversary of the Exodus in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]], House Marka Ragnos was restored at the blessing of the [[Clan Summit]]. Marka Ragnos is the only surviving House out of the original three of Clan Naga Sadow; the other sister Houses were [[House Ludo Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] and [[House Primus Goluud|Primus Goluud]].

For more information and the organization of the House please please view the [[House Marka Ragnos Prospectus]]

==History==

The story of [[House Marka Ragnos]] begins some 5,300 years before the Battle of Yavin, when the [[Dark Lord of the Sith]], [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] himself, began his reign over the Sith Empire. Under his rule a Golden Age was ushered in. Ragnos ruled with unparalleled success for 300 years. During his final years, he established a cult like society of warriors, scholars and other figures who swore an oath of loyalty to him.

Even after Marka Ragnos was succeeded by Lord Naga Sadow, this cult remained loyal to him and left Korriban, wandering across the galaxy with no destination in mind. In their travels, this cult came across the planet Karana III and settled there. They began calling themselves the ''[[Disciples of Ragnos]]'' and continued to worship their master and practice his dark doctrine. However, the Disciples were eventually driven away from Karana, and they settled on the planet Loki in the [[Phare system]].

It was not long before [[Tron|Astronicus Sadow]], the last surviving descendant of Lord Naga Sadow, came to Phare and asked the Disciples to join him under the flag of House Naga Sadow. The numbers of House Naga Sadow grew and it slowly became one of the most powerful houses within the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. In 17 ABY it became [[Clan Naga Sadow]] and the Disciples of Ragnos were reformed into House Marka Ragnos. The [[starwars:Epistle of Marka Ragnos|Epistle of Marka Ragnos]] continued to live on within the House, adored in the traditions of old. As the years passed, the House grew and new tradition were made. The Disciples slowly earned respect from within the clan and outside of it.

In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], a decade and a half after the unit's ascension to Clan Status, the Dark Council at the behest of the [[Grand Master]] determined that all of the Great Clans of the Brotherhood needed to be reformed into Houses seeing the surviving Houses of Kressh and Ragnos dissolved into House Naga Sadow. However the Disciples survived in the form of [[Battleteam Marka Ragnos]]. It wasn’t long before Naga Sadow once again earned clan status and the Disciples saw the return of their great house.

Nfolgai ststem is an unremarkable binary star system, nearly devoid of life outside of Nfolgai itself. The perfect sanctum for those that wish to hide away from watchful eyes. It is a star system located within the [[starwars:Esstran Sector|Esstran sector]] of the [[starwars:Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim Territories]]. This same sector contained the [[starwars:Stygian Caldera|Stygian Caldera]]. Located therein, navigation is extremely difficult due to the spatial influence of the nebula. Also within this sector lay the notable worlds of [[starwars:Conscio|Conscio]], [[starwars:Thule|Thule]], and [[starwars:Zios|Ziost]].

As much a victim of Sorzus' alchemy as the creatures she experimented upon, the Dark Side of the Force has left its mark upon the surface of Nfolgai. Large, sweeping mountain ranges cover the planet's surface, a dark reflection of the jaded darkness that consumes it. The northern hemisphere is utterly desolate, a scar spanning semi-globally and emanating with a perpetual loneliness. This is a sharp contrast to the dotted jungles and swamps to be found in the southern hemisphere. Plant-life, twisted and obscure, laid claim to the land and turned the dark canopies of this hemisphere into natural military assets. The high levels of metallic contents within the plants renders radar and scanners nearly useless, a trait similar to the planet of [[starwars:Mykr|Myrkr]].

==History==

===Sith Empire===

The world Nfolgai was originally part of the pre-[[starwars:Galactic_Republic|Republic]] [[starwars:Sith_Empire_(Pre-Republic)|Sith Empire]] ruled by [[starwars:King|King]] [[starwars:Adas|Adas]]. While not one of the five most sacred worlds of the Sith -- [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]], [[starwars:Khar_Delba|Khar Delba]], [[starwars:Rhelg|Rhelg]], [[starwars:Krayiss|Krayiss]] and [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] -- Nfolgai was located at the end of the [[starwars:Nache_Bhelfia|Nache Bhelfia]] hyperlane on the [[starwars:Descris_Wris|Descris Wris]] and of strategic importance due to its close proximity to both [[starwars:Athiss|Athiss]] and the capital of Ziost itself.

At some point in the Sith’s early history, [[starwars:Sorzus_Syn|Sorzus Syn]] speculated that the native Sith struck out at nearby Republic worlds outside the [[starwars:Stygian_Caldera|Stygian Caldera]], including the world of [[starwars:Thosa|Thosa]], and that it was from these unrecorded attacks that they brought back the [[starwars:Draethos|Draethos]] and [[starwars:Mrlssi|Mrlssi]] slaves who were subsequently forced to erect the long since crumbled megaliths and statuaries whose ruins are believed to continue to exist somewhere in the southern overgrown wilds today.

Come [[starwars:6,900_BBY|6,900 BBY]], Nfolgai and the rest of Sith Space fell under the control of the exiled [[starwars:Exiles|Dark Jedi]] who had been banished from the Galactic Republic by the [[starwars:Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]] at the end of the [[starwars:Hundred-Year_Darkness|Hundred-Year Darkness]]. Of these new [[starwars:Sith_Lord|Sith Lords]], it was the [[starwars:Sith_alchemy|alchemist]] Sorzus Syn that took a particular interest in Nfolgai, seeing in its slight detachment from the heart of the Sith Empire the opportunity to continue her personal research into the [[starwars:Dark_side|dark side]]. In the south, Syn had the planet’s slaves erect an aviary for her, which she used to house the specimens she had managed to bring with her from the Republic together with the new beasts that she discovered during her time on the other [[starwars:Sith_Worlds|Sith Worlds]]. Many of her creatures are believed to continue to haunt the southern jungles today, with even a [[starwars:Battle_hydra|battle hydra]] purported to have been sighted near where her own [[starwars:Tomb|mausoleum]] was later to be constructed.

Despite Syn’s interest in the [[starwars:Esstran_Sector|Esstran Sector]]’s wildlife, she and her fellow Exiles soon became more concerned with finding new ways to ensure the continuation of their own legacies. Evidence of Syn’s own contributions to the survival of the Sith Lords’ genetic bloodlines still remains in some of the facilities that have been uncovered, with one research team recording a compound housing hundreds of long dead life forms that resemble monstrous crosses between various species having been chemically preserved. However, despite the fact Syn is known to have constructed both the [[starwars:Muur_Talisman|Muur]] and [[starwars:Dreypa_Talisman|Dreypa Talismans]], no research teams have yet found any sites related to her research into [[starwars:Sith_artifact|Sith artifacts]], nor any new information pertaining to the 'Great Amulet' that she is recorded to have discussed creating.

In the years after Syn’s eventual death, her surviving [[starwars:Kissai|Kissai]] acolytes ordered the construction of a mausoleum for her in the southern jungles. While it remains unknown whether Syn’s own body was interred there or not, her disciples were nevertheless entombed alive inside its walls, as was customary in Sith society. Either way, Nfolgai returned to primarily serving as a secondary tomb world, with later Sith Lords like [[starwars:Tulak_Hord|Tulak Hord]] and [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] choosing to focus their time on the more sacred worlds.

===Collapse of Civilisation===

In [[starwars:5,000_BBY|5,000 BBY]], the Sith Empire collapsed following the disastrous [[starwars:Great_Hyperspace_War|Great Hyperspace War]] and Nfolgai’s slave populations fled into the jungles to survive the ensuing civil war and [[starwars:Sith_holocaust|extermination]] of the native Sith by the Republic. Without anyone now to maintain order, the slave races quickly fractured along species lines, with the [[starwars:Human|Human]] slaves being wiped out after just a few years, and the Draethos and Mrlssi establishing their own tribal groups. Furthermore, with little knowledge of the arcane devices left behind by their masters, the remaining slaves devolved back into primitive creatures, with their descendants becoming increasingly deformed due to the planet’s dark energies and the individual tribe’s inbreeding over the centuries.

At some point in the ensuing centuries, an [[starwars:Interdictor-class_cruiser|''Interdictor''-class cruiser]] crashed into the northern hemisphere, the impact further decimating the already desolate and unwelcoming north. Mrlssi tribes have fought over the wreckage ever since, with the tribe who have held it for the better part of the last millennia having delved even further into insanity by whatever cargo the cruiser had been transporting for its unknown commanders.

In the south, Syn had the planet’s slaves erect an aviary for her, which she used to house the specimens she had managed to bring with her from the Republic together with the new beasts that she discovered during her time on the other [[starwars:Sith_Worlds|Sith Worlds]]. Many of her creatures are believed to continue to haunt the southern jungles today, with even a [[starwars:Battle_hydra|battle hydra]] purported to have been sighted near where her own [[starwars:Tomb|mausoleum]] was later to be constructed.

Despite Syn’s interest in the [[starwars:Esstran_Sector|Esstran Sector]]’s wildlife, she and her fellow Exiles soon became more concerned with finding new ways to ensure the continuation of their own legacies. Evidence of Syn’s own contributions to the survival of the Sith Lords’ genetic bloodlines still remains in some of the facilities that have been uncovered, with one research team recording a compound housing hundreds of long dead life forms that resemble monstrous crosses between various species having been chemically preserved. However, despite the fact Syn is known to have constructed both the [[starwars:Muur_Talisman|Muur]] and [[starwars:Dreypa_Talisman|Dreypa Talismans]], no research teams have yet found any sites related to her research into [[starwars:Sith_artifact|Sith artifacts]], nor any new information pertaining to the 'Great Amulet' that she is recorded to have discussed creating.

In the years after Syn’s eventual death, her surviving [[starwars:Kissai|Kissai]] acolytes ordered the construction of a mausoleum for her in the southern jungles. While it remains unknown whether Syn’s own body was interred there or not, her disciples were nevertheless entombed alive inside its walls, as was customary in Sith society. Either way, Nfolgai returned to primarily serving as a secondary tomb world, with later Sith Lords like [[starwars:Tulak_Hord|Tulak Hord]] and [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] choosing to focus their time on the more sacred worlds.

===Collapse of Civilisation===

In [[starwars:5,000_BBY|5,000 BBY]], the Sith Empire collapsed following the disastrous [[starwars:Great_Hyperspace_War|Great Hyperspace War]] and Nfolgai’s slave populations fled into the jungles to survive the ensuing civil war and [[starwars:Sith_holocaust|extermination]] of the native Sith by the Republic. Without anyone now to maintain order, the slave races quickly fractured along species lines, with the [[starwars:Human|Human]] slaves being wiped out after just a few years, and the Draethos and Mrlssi establishing their own tribal groups. Furthermore, with little knowledge of the arcane devices left behind by their masters, the remaining slaves devolved back into primitive creatures, with their descendants becoming increasingly deformed due to the planet’s dark energies and the individual tribe’s inbreeding over the centuries.

At some point in the ensuing centuries, an [[starwars:Interdictor-class_cruiser|''Interdictor''-class cruiser]] crashed into the northern hemisphere, the impact further decimating the already desolate and unwelcoming north. Mrlssi tribes have fought over the wreckage ever since, with the tribe who have held it for the better part of the last millennia having delved even further into insanity by whatever cargo the cruiser had been transporting for its unknown commanders.

== History ==
===Secrets and Shadows===
Born to a high ranking official of the Imperial Navy, Kalia's birth was one of secrecy. Her mother had always commanded the respect of those around her, and it was often thought that it was her who should be in command instead of the Admiral. Even more so were there whisperings that she already was. In the open, her mother stood strong at the side of the man she loved, where as in private the veil was lifted and the truths of her pregnancy were known.

In all walks of life there are those prone to gather around a common purpose, even more so in the upper echelons of power. It was to one such society that Kalia's mother belonged. The order, known only through rumor as ''Regendi Domina'', was one of great importance throughout the Imperial society. Her mother, through sheer presence and will, was the head of a branch within the order. This order was made up of women in varying levels of power, but always possessing similar traits and command of those around them.

It was in this home of love and secrets that Kalia grew, knowing only the warmth of her mother that became the primary idol in the child's eyes.

[[File:KaliaPepoi.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kalia Pepoi]]

===A Blossoming Sorrow===
After two years of infancy it came time for Kalia to undergo the ''Divining''. It was a ritual within the order performed by their mystics. During the ritual a child is examined for the specific traits sought by the ''Domina''. It was with great reluctance that her mother relinquished her child to the ritual, her fear and love as a mother temporarily impairing her role as a leader. In the end, her fears were unwarranted as the child passed the ritual with a glowing recommendation that had never before been seen within the order.

With a renewed sense of pride Kalia's mother returned to her care, priming her for her future role. At the same time, Kalia's bond with her father was growing. As a high ranking Admiral he was often away from home for long periods of time. It was these short encounters that fostered her love. It is often said that we want most what we cannot have, and this was ever present between father and daughter. Quickly labelled a "daddy's girl" by family friends Kalia was always attached to her father's hip for his visits. Unfamiliar with raising a daughter, and having secretly hoped for a son, the Admiral found himself teaching this young woman what he would have taught his son. This occurred at the same time her mother was training her for the order.

In this way, as a young girl Kalia soon mastered the basics of survival training, as well as the finer points of the order. Her lessons often involved seduction, wile, history and tactics. An incredibly bright young woman she took to her lessons quickly, moving to the advanced classes with little time wasted.

The order, noting her mother's skills and leadership, called her away on assignment. With great sadness she left, knowing she would return to her family soon. Luckily for Kalia, she wasn't alone long before her father returned home on leave. Once more by her father's side they began a short trip; just the two of them and a small security force. Kalia was giddy with excitement until her world shattered.

As if in slow motion, an explosion tore through the spaceport and the small security team was cut down. It was brutal and efficient, and something Kalia would never forget. Hidden in her father's strong embrace she felt indescribable terror as she heard the fear in her father's voice.

"Go, my blossom, run!"

Without another word he pushed Kalia away, ushering her through the smoke to safety. Running on instinct she flew on her feet, covering her mouth and coughing as the smoke burned her eyes. Without knowing why she turned back, for the briefest of moments, and was greeted with a small opening in the smoke. An opening large enough to give the innocent child a clean view of her father being brutally executed. The scars of that day will forever grip Kalia's mind, but she would bury those wounds so far no one could see them.

===The Red Rose===
[[File:Kalia Summit.png|250px|right|thumb|Kalia as HMR QUA]]After her father's slaying Kalia had put her training to good use. Dropping off the grid she began gathering and organizing everything pertaining to the terrorist attack. She was a being possessed and the only thing that were sate her need for vengeance was those men dead. It didn't take long for her to begin tracking them down, discovering the first straggler still on Naboo. His death was quick, but decidedly unpleasant. Luckily for the others, they had already retreated to their hideout. Unluckily for them, Kalia was able to pull the information from the straggler quite easily.

The order had trained her well, and a young woman is rarely suspected for the act she was about to commit. Conning her way into the hideout she waited patiently, like a viper coiled dangerously around it's prey. At the slightest sign of weakness she struck, enacting the plan that had fostered in her mind for years.

It was here she was discovered by [[Araxis Pepoi Farron|Araxis]], sitting naked in a pool of blood, covered in it's ruby tint. The girl had become a woman, the flower blossoming into a Rose in a pool of blood.

== Equipment and Inventory ==
Kalia is a dancer, gymnast, expert martial artist, marksman, and weapons specialist as well as having extensive espionage training.

The Red Rose uses a variety of equipment invented by scientists and technicians, with later improvements by S.H.A.D.O.W. scientists and technicians. Kalia has been enhanced by biotechnology that makes her body resistant to aging and disease and heals at an above human rate as well as psychological conditioning that suppresses her memory of true events of the past without the aid of specially designed system suppressant drugs. Attempts to do so result in extreme biological reactions, indicated as vomiting and black-outs.

Kalia wears a traditional poison ring bearing a red rose made of rubies and emeralds. It contains pheromones and specific chemical compounds which can cause a "love drunk" feeling.

The Red Rose is also equipped with "nanites", designed to be passed from her body with even the slightest touch. When activated they can incite someone to homicidal rage. A counter form of these were also introduced to her body so as she could neutralize the activated nanites in another.

The nanites serve a dual purpose, also capable of triggering artificial neural pathways within her brain. The result is unpredictable, but most notably resulting in increased congitive function, faster response times, and more efficient methodology.

=== Weapons ===
One Lightsaber, red blade

One Chain Whip

6x Locust knives

=== Accessories ===

== Traits ==
Kalia became a being of anger, consumed by its fiery tendrils and rightly so. Her father's murder struck her in a more lethal manner than any death blow. Through rigorous training her master, [[Araxis Farron]], was able to teach Kalia to channel that anger and mold it into strength. She is smart, efficient, and will not tolerate nonsense of any kind. Her confidence and beauty are tangible tools at her disposal and are often put to use.

It is often learned quickly that one should be careful when telling Kalia what to do. In general, the reaction is rarely kind. She is infuriatingly stubborn and will ensure that she gets her way, one way or another. Despite all this, the Red Rose possesses more than one face. When you make it past the thorns there exists a vulnerable beauty, only known to an exceedingly select few.

It was here she was discovered by [[Araxis Pepoi Farron|Araxis]], sitting naked in a pool of blood, covered in it's ruby tint. The girl had become a woman, the flower blossoming into a Rose in a pool of blood.

== Equipment and Inventory ==
Kalia is a dancer, gymnast, expert martial artist, marksman, and weapons specialist as well as having extensive espionage training.

The Red Rose uses a variety of equipment invented by scientists and technicians, with later improvements by S.H.A.D.O.W. scientists and technicians. Kalia has been enhanced by biotechnology that makes her body resistant to aging and disease and heals at an above human rate as well as psychological conditioning that suppresses her memory of true events of the past without the aid of specially designed system suppressant drugs. Attempts to do so result in extreme biological reactions, indicated as vomiting and black-outs.

Kalia wears a traditional poison ring bearing a red rose made of rubies and emeralds. It contains pheromones and specific chemical compounds which can cause a "love drunk" feeling.

The Red Rose is also equipped with "nanites", designed to be passed from her body with even the slightest touch. When activated they can incite someone to homicidal rage. A counter form of these were also introduced to her body so as she could neutralize the activated nanites in another.

The nanites serve a dual purpose, also capable of triggering artificial neural pathways within her brain. The result is unpredictable, but most notably resulting in increased congitive function, faster response times, and more efficient methodology.

=== Weapons ===
One Lightsaber, red blade

One Chain Whip

6x Locust knives

== Traits ==
Kalia became a being of anger, consumed by its fiery tendrils and rightly so. Her father's murder struck her in a more lethal manner than any death blow. Through rigorous training her master, [[Araxis Farron]], was able to teach Kalia to channel that anger and mold it into strength. She is smart, efficient, and will not tolerate nonsense of any kind. Her confidence and beauty are tangible tools at her disposal and are often put to use.

It is often learned quickly that one should be careful when telling Kalia what to do. In general, the reaction is rarely kind. She is infuriatingly stubborn and will ensure that she gets her way, one way or another. Despite all this, the Red Rose possesses more than one face. When you make it past the thorns there exists a vulnerable beauty, only known to an exceedingly select few.

== History ==
===Secrets and Shadows===
Born to a high ranking official of the Imperial Navy, Kalia's birth was one of secrecy. Her mother had always commanded the respect of those around her, and it was often thought that it was her who should be in command instead of the Admiral. Even more so were there whisperings that she already was. In the open, her mother stood strong at the side of the man she loved, where as in private the veil was lifted and the truths of her pregnancy were known.

In all walks of life there are those prone to gather around a common purpose, even more so in the upper echelons of power. It was to one such society that Kalia's mother belonged. The order, known only through rumor as ''Regendi Domina'', was one of great importance throughout the Imperial society. Her mother, through sheer presence and will, was the head of a branch within the order. This order was made up of women in varying levels of power, but always possessing similar traits and command of those around them.

It was in this home of love and secrets that Kalia grew, knowing only the warmth of her mother that became the primary idol in the child's eyes.

===A Blossoming Sorrow===
After two years of infancy it came time for Kalia to undergo the ''Divining''. It was a ritual within the order performed by their mystics. During the ritual a child is examined for the specific traits sought by the ''Domina''. It was with great reluctance that her mother relinquished her child to the ritual, her fear and love as a mother temporarily impairing her role as a leader. In the end, her fears were unwarranted as the child passed the ritual with a glowing recommendation that had never before been seen within the order.

With a renewed sense of pride Kalia's mother returned to her care, priming her for her future role. At the same time, Kalia's bond with her father was growing. As a high ranking Admiral he was often away from home for long periods of time. It was these short encounters that fostered her love. It is often said that we want most what we cannot have, and this was ever present between father and daughter. Quickly labelled a "daddy's girl" by family friends Kalia was always attached to her father's hip for his visits. Unfamiliar with raising a daughter, and having secretly hoped for a son, the Admiral found himself teaching this young woman what he would have taught his son. This occurred at the same time her mother was training her for the order.

In this way, as a young girl Kalia soon mastered the basics of survival training, as well as the finer points of the order. Her lessons often involved seduction, wile, history and tactics. An incredibly bright young woman she took to her lessons quickly, moving to the advanced classes with little time wasted.

The order, noting her mother's skills and leadership, called her away on assignment. With great sadness she left, knowing she would return to her family soon. Luckily for Kalia, she wasn't alone long before her father returned home on leave. Once more by her father's side they began a short trip; just the two of them and a small security force. Kalia was giddy with excitement until her world shattered.

As if in slow motion, an explosion tore through the spaceport and the small security team was cut down. It was brutal and efficient, and something Kalia would never forget. Hidden in her father's strong embrace she felt indescribable terror as she heard the fear in her father's voice.

"Go, my blossom, run!"

Without another word he pushed Kalia away, ushering her through the smoke to safety. Running on instinct she flew on her feet, covering her mouth and coughing as the smoke burned her eyes. Without knowing why she turned back, for the briefest of moments, and was greeted with a small opening in the smoke. An opening large enough to give the innocent child a clean view of her father being brutally executed. The scars of that day will forever grip Kalia's mind, but she would bury those wounds so far no one could see them.

===The Red Rose===
[[File:Kalia Summit.png|250px|right|thumb|Kalia as HMR QUA]]After her father's slaying Kalia had put her training to good use. Dropping off the grid she began gathering and organizing everything pertaining to the terrorist attack. She was a being possessed and the only thing that were sate her need for vengeance was those men dead. It didn't take long for her to begin tracking them down, discovering the first straggler still on Naboo. His death was quick, but decidedly unpleasant. Luckily for the others, they had already retreated to their hideout. Unluckily for them, Kalia was able to pull the information from the straggler quite easily.

The order had trained her well, and a young woman is rarely suspected for the act she was about to commit. Conning her way into the hideout she waited patiently, like a viper coiled dangerously around it's prey. At the slightest sign of weakness she struck, enacting the plan that had fostered in her mind for years.

It was here she was discovered by [[Araxis Pepoi Farron|Araxis]], sitting naked in a pool of blood, covered in it's ruby tint. The girl had become a woman, the flower blossoming into a Rose in a pool of blood.
