==History==

=== Childhood ===

Koskian had a rough, to say the least, up bringing. The last of twelve children, born to a poor family in the lower quarters of Pandath. His birth families name was 'Prefect', though nobody knew what that really meant. Scrapping by on what little food his father could bring home, by the time Koskian was seven he was a wiry, short boy. Taking to the streets at an early age, he learned to scavenge with his two older brothers, Adeoc and Laso. Finding what they could in dumpsters, or unattended, Koskian didn't really know the meaning of theft till much later, they would fix what they could, salvage what they couldn't, and sell it. Eventually the three moved up to simply breaking into homes in the nearby middle class neighborhoods, Koskian being the smallest of the trio he would perform the infiltration and open the doors for his brothers.

He never knew how, but on no less then three occasions Koskian knew for certain that they had tripped a silent alarm. His brothers dismissed it the first time, thinking their little brother was simply scared, until the law enforcement officials showed up demanding to know whom there parents were. After that his brothers took his word on it when he had a 'strange feeling' about something. They dodged the police on many occasions in this manner, and made a decent amount of money to augment their father's work. His parents never condoned these actions, but being as poor as the family was, they never outright forbade them either.

On a particularly bad night, Koskian had just turned twelve years of age, he watched his eldest brother Adeoc get shot in the chest three times by one of the shady traders they dealt with. Laso ran to find help, leaving the youngest of the Prefect children behind to deal with the trader. Koskian felt a rage boil up in him that had never been unleashed, hate and anger at the poverty that he and his family lived in, and he directed this at the so-called merchant. Waking up a hour later with Laso standing above him, he was told the merchant was dead, apparently of some kind of brain aneurysm, and that Adeoc was being moved to a med center.

Relived that his brother would live, he wondered what had happened when he unleashed his anger and pain.

=== Teen Years ===

While his childhood had been a rough enough environment, teenage life in the poverty stricken lower quarters of Pandath was possibly worse. Still short for his age, the Prefect child wouldn't experience his growth spurt till almost 18 years of age, he was ridiculed and targeted by others. His eldest brother Adeoc having found a steady job, and Laso gaining admittance to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Academy Imperial Academy], Koskian was left alone. No longer a part of a 'crew' to protect him, the 14 year old Koskian focused on day to day survival, hoping to make it to 18 so as to join the Academy as well.

In a moment of distraction while attempting a pick pocket, the young thief was caught by officials, who promptly brought him before the courts. This not being the first time he found himself there, the judge demanded he be put in remedial schooling, and probation of sorts. Disliking this immensely, Koskian spent the next few months on a closed campus in lower Pandath, where his height and light build were often the subject of jokes and amusement. In this time, Koskian became acquainted with brawling, getting into many fights with larger opponents. Every time that he lost, he learned something, and eventually it wasn't the smaller boy losing, so much as the bigger ones hurting themselves.

Gaining something of a reputation as a fighter, less and less bullies came after him, and some even began trying to make friends with the runt teen. Knowing that behavior would get him out of the mandated school quicker then anything else, he took on those who came to him and had them fight for him in a sense, rarely raising a hand where he 'felt' they would be caught. And he was right every time. His feelings from childhood never betrayed him he realized, and he wondered what this uncanny sense of luck was.

Growing stronger, and gaining street cred after completing his term at the school, Koskian set off into the world. At the age of 16, he hadn't seen his parents in several years, not since he had been placed in the school, and he had no intention of going back 'home'. Gaining ruffians and thieves, the young Prefect began setting up a gang. Using what skills they offered, they carved out a territory of protected businesses, safe houses, and drug fronts. With thieves roaming the houses of the middle class neighborhoods that he and his brothers had robbed as children, Koskian began to make quite a bit of money from tributes alone. Drugs were a good source of income he found out at that time, as was getting protection money from local businesses.

As with any gathering of thieves and lowlifes, somebody was always ready to sell out. Koskian's sixth sense, as he referred to it now, could tell who was planning on betraying him. The sensation grew the closer it came to occurring, and suddenly the police would find a would be informant at their meeting sights very dead. It was in this time that Koskian developed the quirk of using sporks as tools of destruction, after killing a soldier of his gang with one outside of a diner at night, no other weapons available to him he had taken utensils from the diner itself.

The police types found many in this state, plastic sporks shoved deep through their jugular or comparative organs and such. No law enforcement ever tracked down the crime ring to Koskian himself, and this frustrated them. No one is certain when it happened, but Koskian took on the alias 'Psyko' during this time, as his own sanity slowly eroded the more suspicious he became, killing his lieutenants when he simply suspected them of betrayal.

=== Discovery and Ascendancy ===

At about 17 years of age, Koskian, who was simply Psyko anymore, was wanted for a string of murders throughout the middle and upper quarters of Pandath, as he cut a swath through those he thought were the cause of his impoverished state. Most of his rational thought was simply gone at this point, and no one knew how he reached some of his targets, not even himself. His sixth sense was sharper then ever, showing him to passages he could never have squeezed through, yet somehow he pushed his body to do so. It's believed the first time he did this it resulted in intense pain, and eroded the thin walls he had around his sane mind, with no way to explain the how or why.

Nearing the winter months, Koskian felt...something was coming, and felt that it would be at the Pandath starport. Traveling there, he encountered a kindred spirit, at least in the feelings of anger and hate, in the form of then Jedi Hunter, Priyum Patel. Koskian could not understand the connection at the time, and Patel nearly killed him when he walked down an ally, fully aware of Psyko following him. After fighting the younger, insane man to the ground, the first time Psyko had lost a fight in years, the Force flowed between them, pulling some of Koskian's sanity back from the abyss. With coherent thoughts for the first time in two years, Priyum was able to explain many things.

Thus did Psyko learn of his sensitivity to the Force, and felt a burning will to learn more of this power. Helping Priyum complete his own mission, tracking down an agent of the Rebellion and getting information from him in a most grisly manner, he accompanied him back to the Emperor's Hammer space. Joining the Dark Brotherhood, and passing the tests that were set before him, he was sent to [[Clan Arcona]], Priyum's own Clan. Joining [[House Qel-Droma]], he met his Consul, the great Nighthawk, and his Quaestor Gavron Elliad. Both of these men had huge impacts on the young Obelisk's growth in the Dark Side.

Upon orders from on high that Houses would follow Order, he was moved to Galeres, where he finally found a true home. No more stuffy Krath, he found his Master, Tuojas D'Eraii, and his trainer in the way of blades, ShadowXX here. Eventually Koskian took over the House, taking on an Apprentice in future Brother Gavin Dahl, before leaving for a sabbatical of sorts.

=== Power and the Rediscovery ===

Koskian returned some years later, actually being Koskian now, having found some form of peace after assuring that his brother Laso had survived after the fall of the Empire. Spending time with both his brothers in Taanab, he was able to access bank accounts he had begun while running his gang, and departed most of the money to his brothers. Taking a sizable chunk of this for himself, he bought his own ship as well. The Class 720 Freighter [[Galerian Fire]] became his personal ship at this time, and returned him to the Coronada system in the Eos sector to find the Brotherhood in turmoil.

Returning to find his own Clan in shamble, Koskian did what he could to pick up the pieces, taking over as Quaestor of Galeres once more and waving a flag of unified Arcona. Having come back during the time of grievances against the Emperor's Hammer and its leader Ronin, Koskian didn't have to take long to choose sides. Quickly choosing to follow the lead of then Grandmaster [[Firefox]], formerly of Arcona, Koskian threw in his support for the secession.

The Exodus came swiftly, the fleets of the Tie Corps hounding the Clans out of the safety of the Coronada system. After some travels and losses, Arcona found its way through the Maw, and Koskian got to set his gaze on what would be his first real home in years. The [[Dajorra System]] welcomed them with open arms, no sentient beings advanced enough to fight off the settling of the powerful Dark Jedi. In the years that followed, Koskian took more sabbaticals, before returning to finally take his place among the Arconae and as a leader of the Clan. He then became the Quaestor of Galeres once more, his fourth tenure in his career, and focused on making the beating heart of Arcona become even stronger.

Sometime after this, he was appointed Proconsul of the Clan, and due to a misfortune befalling his [[Consul]] during conflict with a rival Clan, was forced to lead in war time.

===A New Path===

Shortly after leading the Clan to victory over [[Scholae Palatinae]] in a war over young members trying to curry favor through sabotage, Koskian began looking around his old home. He did not care for what he saw, as the attitude of the Clan continued to build more and more towards arrogance and blind hatred for the other Clans. Watching his Clan turn more and more towards the ways of their former task masters within the [[Emperor's Hammer]], Koskian resigned his position upon Consul Stratego's return to duty, and left for a sabbatical.

Returning shortly after the end of the [[Rite of Supremacy]], Koskian made a surprising move, after being contacted by the very people he had helped defeat. Those of Scholae Palatine bore him no apparent grudge, at least on the surface, and Koskian is naturally aware he is not trusted there yet. Joining with former enemies on the behest of some he has come to admire, even during the time of war, Koskian has found new strength in this, his new home.

Koskian assisted the military forces of Scholae Palatine during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coctyus. Serving his new Clan faithfully throughout the war led to him being made head of the forces that were to reclaim the world of Caina, and the first new Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. After retaking the planet, Koskian was forced to take another sabbatical, but has recently returned to assist the House once more.

===Warring with the Past===

Not long after returning from his sabbatical, Scholae Palatine was called to war in aid of Plagueis, a Clan of lesser value but a possible ally. With the fleet dispatched, Koskian was called to a service he hadn't dealt with in many years, that of the military. Rank dictated command, and his experience was seen as valuable, and was given the command of the [[4th Strike Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|4th Strike Regiment]]. Accompanying this was the rank of Lieutenant General.

Despite this appointment and awards of nobility from the reclamation of Cainia, Koskian still wonders if his clan mates truly trust him. The stress of war has begun to crack what some would call a precarious psyche, and Koskian has begun to have more and more visions of the future, a talent in the Force that he has long avoided due to his own previous madness. Dementia has not set in yet, but the Lieutenant General is certain that it is coming, and hopes to stave it off until the war is over.

Koskian lead the [[4th Strike Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|4th Strike Regiment]] through the battle of Jusadiah, smashing portions of the Vong invasion force. The surprise attack by Arcona came as no shock to the Obelisk, the machinations of Consul Doto were well known to him. The intervention of the Dark Council fleet did surprise him in the end, and after the forces were recalled to Cainia, Koskian began cloistering himself away from his House mates, meditating on the encroaching madness.

===Unexpected Changes===

Over several months of focusing his mind, Koskian began to realize his connection with the Force itself was the source of his encroaching madness. The Obelisk dealt with this the only way he could determine, by limiting his usage of the Force, and training his body harder to make up for it. Already advancing into middle age, he had reached peak physical condition for an average human, when something utterly unexpected happened.

Asked to stand watch over an experiment in one of the many Alchemy labs that Dorimad Sol used, in case any of the test subjects broke lose and the Sith scientists were inevitably unable to stop them. Not overly concerned with the details of the experiment, Koskian spent most of the afternoon of 'guard duty' trying to stay busy by annoying several of the subjects. Caged Ewoks, they didn't appreciate him so much, and on more then one occasion, the Obelisk pulled his arm back with scratches and bite marks.

It's still uncertain how the accident came about, but the results were unexpected. When the lights came back up after exploding machinery knocked out the power, Koskian felt strange, and thought he was having an out of body experience. Until he realized he wasn't in his body, and was for whatever reason caged. The Obelisk watched his body stop in mid motion, looking at it's hands, before turning and running out the room. The scientists ignored it, figuring the Obelisk's nerve had broken from the sudden flashes of light and the screaming of the ewoks.

Nearly a week later, Koskian finally convinced the Sith to release him, after his Apprentice Anarya confirmed that it was her Master. Koskian was partially certain that she knew after the first meeting, but that she had taken the opportunity to 'get back' at her Master. Freed from captivity, the now fuzzy Obelisk began tracking his escaped body, only to be called away to the crusade to retake Antei, wondering how he would explain this situation to his superiors.

==Odd Weapons, for a Jedi==

Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many [[Elder]]s of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were: 
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge. 
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip. 
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear.
[[Image:kosk.gif|thumb|right|Koskian and his sporks]]
His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent.

Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.

== Noble Holdings ==

In his service to Scholae Palatine, Koskian has been rewarded with a Title of Nobility, which has entitled him to holdings and other honors.

=== Holdings ===

The current holdings of Marquess d'Tana can be broken up into three sections, the parcel of land in The Heart of Caina formation, a site of sentimental importance to him, his villa within the city of Daemon, and his Mansion, Casa de Tana, on the outskirts of Cervus.

The land parcel near the Heart of Caina site is still littered with debris and prefabrication buildings from the beachhead of the reclamation campaign against the Vong. Koskian lead Dorimad Sol in the campaign, and claimed the area when given the option to own land on the planet.

The villa, within the underground city of Daemon, he uses when on business in the capital city of Caina. It's a simple home, containing only a master bedroom, a guest room, meditation chamber, and a training room, as well as a small office with communications equipment.

Casa de Tana, near the recovering town of Cervus, it is Koskian's primary lodging. Standing two stories tall, white marble walls surround the compound, including a landing area to the side of the mansion, capable of servicing several small freighters and fighters at a time. The manor house is home to over a dozen support staff, including the Marquess Honor Guard. Koskian had a fully functional communications center installed as well, so as to coordinate his business efforts from home. It's from the Casa that he does business with the town of Cervus, trading services and favors for supplies and tradesman to help rebuild.

=== Honor Guard ===

At the current Title of Marquess, Koskian is allowed three official Honor Guards to accompany him on official business with the Clan. Instead of taking on men from the Clan military who volunteered for such service, forgoing this, Koskian chose men from his past he could trust with such duties.

Grid Tropin, Captain of the Honor Guard, a Kuati man who was formerly a part of the Clan's space force, he was discharged for insubordination during the battle surrounding Jusadiah, when Scholae Palatine came to the aide of Plagueis against the Vong. During this battle, Grid and Koskian met, and the young Ensign proved his worth to the Primarch. He is incredibly proficient with computer systems, and is a natural shot with a rifle, and has the most amazing luck of any human Kosk has ever met.

Cronar Stouls, of Tanaab, and Saffas Monor of Iridionia, both comrades that ran in Koskian's gang as a teenager in Lower Pandath. Cronar acts as Koskian's official body guard, and is a giant of a man, standing almost seven feet in height, and weighing at almost three hundred and fifty pounds. Despite his size, the man is quick, and capable of physically destroying most opponents swiftly. Saffas is just under six feet tall, and lanky. Fast and silent, he's incredibly talented with a knife, as well as the arts of espionage, sabotage, and generally not being seen.

Joining [[House Qel-Droma]], he met his Consul, the great Nighthawk, and his Quaestor Gavron Elliad. Both of these men had huge impacts on the young Obelisk's growth in the Dark Side.

Upon orders from on high that Houses would follow Order, he was moved to Galeres, where he finally found a true home. No more stuffy Krath, he found his Master, Tuojas D'Eraii, and his trainer in the way of blades, ShadowXX here. Eventually Koskian took over the House, taking on an Apprentice in future Brother Gavin Dahl, before leaving for a sabbatical of sorts.

=== Power and the Rediscovery ===

Koskian returned some years later, actually being Koskian now, having found some form of peace after assuring that his brother Laso had survived after the fall of the Empire. Spending time with both his brothers in Taanab, he was able to access bank accounts he had begun while running his gang, and departed most of the money to his brothers.

Koskian assisted the military forces of Scholae Palatine during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coctyus. Serving his new Clan faithfully throughout the war led to him being made head of the forces that were to reclaim the world of Caina, and the first new Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. After retaking the planet, Koskian was forced to take another sabbatical, but has recently returned to assist the House once more.

===Warring with the Past===

Not long after returning from his sabbatical, Scholae Palatine was called to war in aid of Plagueis, a Clan of lesser value but a possible ally. With the fleet dispatched, Koskian was called to a service he hadn't dealt with in many years, that of the military. Rank dictated command, and his experience was seen as valuable, and was given the command of the [[4th Strike Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|4th Strike Regiment]]. Accompanying this was the rank of Lieutenant General.

Despite this appointment and awards of nobility from the reclamation of Cainia, Koskian still wonders if his clan mates truly trust him. The stress of war has begun to crack what some would call a precarious psyche, and Koskian has begun to have more and more visions of the future, a talent in the Force that he has long avoided due to his own previous madness. Dementia has not set in yet, but the Lieutenant General is certain that it is coming, and hopes to stave it off until the war is over.

Koskian lead the [[4th Strike Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|4th Strike Regiment]] through the battle of Jusadiah, smashing portions of the Vong invasion force. The surprise attack by Arcona came as no shock to the Obelisk, the machinations of Consul Doto were well known to him. The intervention of the Dark Council fleet did surprise him in the end, and after the forces were recalled to Cainia, Koskian began cloistering himself away from his House mates, meditating on the encroaching madness.

===Unexpected Changes===

Over several months of focusing his mind, Koskian began to realize his connection with the Force itself was the source of his encroaching madness. The Obelisk dealt with this the only way he could determine, by limiting his usage of the Force, and training his body harder to make up for it. Already advancing into middle age, he had reached peak physical condition for an average human, when something utterly unexpected happened.

Asked to stand watch over an experiment in one of the many Alchemy labs that Dorimad Sol used, in case any of the test subjects broke lose and the Sith scientists were inevitably unable to stop them. Not overly concerned with the details of the experiment, Koskian spent most of the afternoon of 'guard duty' trying to stay busy by annoying several of the subjects. Caged Ewoks, they didn't appreciate him so much, and on more then one occasion, the Obelisk pulled his arm back with scratches and bite marks.

It's still uncertain how the accident came about, but the results were unexpected. When the lights came back up after exploding machinery knocked out the power, Koskian felt strange, and thought he was having an out of body experience. Until he realized he wasn't in his body, and was for whatever reason caged. The Obelisk watched his body stop in mid motion, looking at it's hands, before turning and running out the room. The scientists ignored it, figuring the Obelisk's nerve had broken from the sudden flashes of light and the screaming of the ewoks.

Nearly a week later, Koskian finally convinced the Sith to release him, after his Apprentice Anarya confirmed that it was her Master. Koskian was partially certain that she knew after the first meeting, but that she had taken the opportunity to 'get back' at her Master. Freed from captivity, the now fuzzy Obelisk began tracking his escaped body, only to be called away to the crusade to retake Antei, wondering how he would explain this situation to his superiors.

==Odd Weapons, for a Jedi==

Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many [[Elder]]s of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were: 
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge. 
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip. 
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear.
[[Image:kosk.gif|thumb|right|Koskian and his sporks]]
His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent.

Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.

==History==

=== Childhood ===

Koskian had a rough, to say the least, up bringing. The last of twelve children, born to a poor family in the lower quarters of Pandath. His birth families name was 'Prefect', though nobody knew what that really meant. Scrapping by on what little food his father could bring home, by the time Koskian was seven he was a wiry, short boy. Taking to the streets at an early age, he learned to scavenge with his two older brothers, Adeoc and Laso. Finding what they could in dumpsters, or unattended, Koskian didn't really know the meaning of theft till much later, they would fix what they could, salvage what they couldn't, and sell it. Eventually the three moved up to simply breaking into homes in the nearby middle class neighborhoods, Koskian being the smallest of the trio he would perform the infiltration and open the doors for his brothers.

He never knew how, but on no less then three occasions Koskian knew for certain that they had tripped a silent alarm. His brothers dismissed it the first time, thinking their little brother was simply scared, until the law enforcement officials showed up demanding to know whom there parents were. After that his brothers took his word on it when he had a 'strange feeling' about something. They dodged the police on many occasions in this manner, and made a decent amount of money to augment their father's work. His parents never condoned these actions, but being as poor as the family was, they never outright forbade them either.

On a particularly bad night, Koskian had just turned twelve years of age, he watched his eldest brother Adeoc get shot in the chest three times by one of the shady traders they dealt with. Laso ran to find help, leaving the youngest of the Prefect children behind to deal with the trader. Koskian felt a rage boil up in him that had never been unleashed, hate and anger at the poverty that he and his family lived in, and he directed this at the so-called merchant. Waking up a hour later with Laso standing above him, he was told the merchant was dead, apparently of some kind of brain aneurysm, and that Adeoc was being moved to a med center.

Relived that his brother would live, he wondered what had happened when he unleashed his anger and pain.

=== Teen Years ===

While his childhood had been a rough enough environment, teenage life in the poverty stricken lower quarters of Pandath was possibly worse. Still short for his age, the Prefect child wouldn't experience his growth spurt till almost 18 years of age, he was ridiculed and targeted by others. His eldest brother Adeoc having found a steady job, and Laso gaining admittance to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Academy Imperial Academy], Koskian was left alone. No longer a part of a 'crew' to protect him, the 14 year old Koskian focused on day to day survival, hoping to make it to 18 so as to join the Academy as well.

In a moment of distraction while attempting a pick pocket, the young thief was caught by officials, who promptly brought him before the courts. This not being the first time he found himself there, the judge demanded he be put in remedial schooling, and probation of sorts. Disliking this immensely, Koskian spent the next few months on a closed campus in lower Pandath, where his height and light build were often the subject of jokes and amusement. In this time, Koskian became acquainted with brawling, getting into many fights with larger opponents. Every time that he lost, he learned something, and eventually it wasn't the smaller boy losing, so much as the bigger ones hurting themselves.

Gaining something of a reputation as a fighter, less and less bullies came after him, and some even began trying to make friends with the runt teen. Knowing that behavior would get him out of the mandated school quicker then anything else, he took on those who came to him and had them fight for him in a sense, rarely raising a hand where he 'felt' they would be caught. And he was right every time. His feelings from childhood never betrayed him he realized, and he wondered what this uncanny sense of luck was.

Growing stronger, and gaining street cred after completing his term at the school, Koskian set off into the world. At the age of 16, he hadn't seen his parents in several years, not since he had been placed in the school, and he had no intention of going back 'home'. Gaining ruffians and thieves, the young Prefect began setting up a gang. Using what skills they offered, they carved out a territory of protected businesses, safe houses, and drug fronts. With thieves roaming the houses of the middle class neighborhoods that he and his brothers had robbed as children, Koskian began to make quite a bit of money from tributes alone. Drugs were a good source of income he found out at that time, as was getting protection money from local businesses.

As with any gathering of thieves and lowlifes, somebody was always ready to sell out. Koskian's sixth sense, as he referred to it now, could tell who was planning on betraying him. The sensation grew the closer it came to occurring, and suddenly the police would find a would be informant at their meeting sights very dead. It was in this time that Koskian developed the quirk of using sporks as tools of destruction, after killing a soldier of his gang with one outside of a diner at night, no other weapons available to him he had taken utensils from the diner itself.

The police types found many in this state, plastic sporks shoved deep through their jugular or comparative organs and such. No law enforcement ever tracked down the crime ring to Koskian himself, and this frustrated them. No one is certain when it happened, but Koskian took on the alias 'Psyko' during this time, as his own sanity slowly eroded the more suspicious he became, killing his lieutenants when he simply suspected them of betrayal.

=== Discovery and Ascendancy ===

At about 17 years of age, Koskian, who was simply Psyko anymore, was wanted for a string of murders throughout the middle and upper quarters of Pandath, as he cut a swath through those he thought were the cause of his impoverished state. Most of his rational thought was simply gone at this point, and no one knew how he reached some of his targets, not even himself. His sixth sense was sharper then ever, showing him to passages he could never have squeezed through, yet somehow he pushed his body to do so. It's believed the first time he did this it resulted in intense pain, and eroded the thin walls he had around his sane mind, with no way to explain the how or why.

Nearing the winter months, Koskian felt...something was coming, and felt that it would be at the Pandath starport. Traveling there, he encountered a kindred spirit, at least in the feelings of anger and hate, in the form of then Jedi Hunter, Priyum Patel. Koskian could not understand the connection at the time, and Patel nearly killed him when he walked down an ally, fully aware of Psyko following him. After fighting the younger, insane man to the ground, the first time Psyko had lost a fight in years, the Force flowed between them, pulling some of Koskian's sanity back from the abyss. With coherent thoughts for the first time in two years, Priyum was able to explain many things.

Thus did Psyko learn of his sensitivity to the Force, and felt a burning will to learn more of this power. Helping Priyum complete his own mission, tracking down an agent of the Rebellion and getting information from him in a most grisly manner, he accompanied him back to the Emperor's Hammer space. Joining the Dark Brotherhood, and passing the tests that were set before him, he was sent to [[Clan Arcona]], Priyum's own Clan. Joining [[House Qel-Droma]], he met his Consul, the great Nighthawk, and his Quaestor Gavron Elliad. Both of these men had huge impacts on the young Obelisk's growth in the Dark Side.

Upon orders from on high that Houses would follow Order, he was moved to Galeres, where he finally found a true home. No more stuffy Krath, he found his Master, Tuojas D'Eraii, and his trainer in the way of blades, ShadowXX here. Eventually Koskian took over the House, taking on an Apprentice in future Brother Gavin Dahl, before leaving for a sabbatical of sorts.

=== Power and the Rediscovery ===

Koskian returned some years later, actually being Koskian now, having found some form of peace after assuring that his brother Laso had survived after the fall of the Empire. Spending time with both his brothers in Taanab, he was able to access bank accounts he had begun while running his gang, and departed most of the money to his brothers. Taking a sizable chunk of this for himself, he bought his own ship as well. The Class 720 Freighter [[Galerian Fire]] became his personal ship at this time, and returned him to the Coronada system in the Eos sector to find the Brotherhood in turmoil.

Returning to find his own Clan in shamble, Koskian did what he could to pick up the pieces, taking over as Quaestor of Galeres once more and waving a flag of unified Arcona. Having come back during the time of grievances against the Emperor's Hammer and its leader Ronin, Koskian didn't have to take long to choose sides. Quickly choosing to follow the lead of then Grandmaster [[Firefox]], formerly of Arcona, Koskian threw in his support for the secession.

The Exodus came swiftly, the fleets of the Tie Corps hounding the Clans out of the safety of the Coronada system. After some travels and losses, Arcona found its way through the Maw, and Koskian got to set his gaze on what would be his first real home in years. The [[Dajorra System]] welcomed them with open arms, no sentient beings advanced enough to fight off the settling of the powerful Dark Jedi. In the years that followed, Koskian took more sabbaticals, before returning to finally take his place among the Arconae and as a leader of the Clan. He then became the Quaestor of Galeres once more, his fourth tenure in his career, and focused on making the beating heart of Arcona become even stronger.

Sometime after this, he was appointed Proconsul of the Clan, and due to a misfortune befalling his [[Consul]] during conflict with a rival Clan, was forced to lead in war time.

===A New Path===

Shortly after leading the Clan to victory over [[Scholae Palatinae]] in a war over young members trying to curry favor through sabotage, Koskian began looking around his old home. He did not care for what he saw, as the attitude of the Clan continued to build more and more towards arrogance and blind hatred for the other Clans. Watching his Clan turn more and more towards the ways of their former task masters within the [[Emperor's Hammer]], Koskian resigned his position upon Consul Stratego's return to duty, and left for a sabbatical.

Returning shortly after the end of the [[Rite of Supremacy]], Koskian made a surprising move, after being contacted by the very people he had helped defeat. Those of Scholae Palatine bore him no apparent grudge, at least on the surface, and Koskian is naturally aware he is not trusted there yet. Joining with former enemies on the behest of some he has come to admire, even during the time of war, Koskian has found new strength in this, his new home.

Koskian assisted the military forces of Scholae Palatine during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coctyus. Serving his new Clan faithfully throughout the war led to him being made head of the forces that were to reclaim the world of Caina, and the first new Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. After retaking the planet, Koskian was forced to take another sabbatical, but has recently returned to assist the House once more.

===Warring with the Past===

Not long after returning from his sabbatical, Scholae Palatine was called to war in aid of Plagueis, a Clan of lesser value but a possible ally. With the fleet dispatched, Koskian was called to a service he hadn't dealt with in many years, that of the military. Rank dictated command, and his experience was seen as valuable, and was given the command of the [[4th Strike Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|4th Strike Regiment]]. Accompanying this was the rank of Lieutenant General.

Despite this appointment and awards of nobility from the reclamation of Cainia, Koskian still wonders if his clan mates truly trust him. The stress of war has begun to crack what some would call a precarious psyche, and Koskian has begun to have more and more visions of the future, a talent in the Force that he has long avoided due to his own previous madness. Dementia has not set in yet, but the Lieutenant General is certain that it is coming, and hopes to stave it off until the war is over.

Koskian lead the [[4th Strike Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|4th Strike Regiment]] through the battle of Jusadiah, smashing portions of the Vong invasion force. The surprise attack by Arcona came as no shock to the Obelisk, the machinations of Consul Doto were well known to him. The intervention of the Dark Council fleet did surprise him in the end, and after the forces were recalled to Cainia, Koskian began cloistering himself away from his House mates, meditating on the encroaching madness.

===Unexpected Changes===

Over several months of focusing his mind, Koskian began to realize his connection with the Force itself was the source of his encroaching madness. The Obelisk dealt with this the only way he could determine, by limiting his usage of the Force, and training his body harder to make up for it. Already advancing into middle age, he had reached peak physical condition for an average human, when something utterly unexpected happened.

Asked to stand watch over an experiment in one of the many Alchemy labs that Dorimad Sol used, in case any of the test subjects broke lose and the Sith scientists were inevitably unable to stop them. Not overly concerned with the details of the experiment, Koskian spent most of the afternoon of 'guard duty' trying to stay busy by annoying several of the subjects. Caged Ewoks, they didn't appreciate him so much, and on more then one occasion, the Obelisk pulled his arm back with scratches and bite marks.

It's still uncertain how the accident came about, but the results were unexpected. When the lights came back up after exploding machinery knocked out the power, Koskian felt strange, and thought he was having an out of body experience. Until he realized he wasn't in his body, and was for whatever reason caged. The Obelisk watched his body stop in mid motion, looking at it's hands, before turning and running out the room. The scientists ignored it, figuring the Obelisk's nerve had broken from the sudden flashes of light and the screaming of the ewoks.

Nearly a week later, Koskian finally convinced the Sith to release him, after his Apprentice Anarya confirmed that it was her Master. Koskian was partially certain that she knew after the first meeting, but that she had taken the opportunity to 'get back' at her Master. Freed from captivity, the now fuzzy Obelisk began tracking his escaped body, only to be called away to the crusade to retake Antei, wondering how he would explain this situation to his superiors.

==Odd Weapons, for a Jedi==

Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many [[Elder]]s of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were: 
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge. 
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip. 
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear.
[[Image:kosk.gif|thumb|right|Koskian and his sporks]]
His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent.

Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.

Watching his Clan turn more and more towards the ways of their former task masters within the [[Emperor's Hammer]], Koskian resigned his position upon Consul Stratego's return to duty, and left for a sabbatical.

Returning shortly after the end of the [[Rite of Supremacy]], Koskian made a surprising move, after being contacted by the very people he had helped defeat. Those of Scholae Palatine bore him no apparent grudge, at least on the surface, and Koskian is naturally aware he is not trusted there yet. Joining with former enemies on the behest of some he has come to admire, even during the time of war, Koskian has found new strength in this, his new home.

Koskian assisted the military forces of Scholae Palatine during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coctyus. Serving his new Clan faithfully throughout the war led to him being made head of the forces that were to reclaim the world of Caina, and the first new Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. After retaking the planet, Koskian was forced to take another sabbatical, but has recently returned to assist the House once more.

===Warring with the Past===

Not long after returning from his sabbatical, Scholae Palatine was called to war in aid of Plagueis, a Clan of lesser value but a possible ally. With the fleet dispatched, Koskian was called to a service he hadn't dealt with in many years, that of the military. Rank dictated command, and his experience was seen as valuable, and was given the command of the [[4th Strike Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|4th Strike Regiment]]. Accompanying this was the rank of Lieutenant General.

Despite this appointment and awards of nobility from the reclamation of Cainia, Koskian still wonders if his clan mates truly trust him. The stress of war has begun to crack what some would call a precarious psyche, and Koskian has begun to have more and more visions of the future, a talent in the Force that he has long avoided due to his own previous madness. Dementia has not set in yet, but the Lieutenant General is certain that it is coming, and hopes to stave it off until the war is over.

Koskian lead the [[4th Strike Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|4th Strike Regiment]] through the battle of Jusadiah, smashing portions of the Vong invasion force. The surprise attack by Arcona came as no shock to the Obelisk, the machinations of Consul Doto were well known to him. The intervention of the Dark Council fleet did surprise him in the end, and after the forces were recalled to Cainia, Koskian began cloistering himself away from his House mates, meditating on the encroaching madness.

===Unexpected Changes===

Over several months of focusing his mind, Koskian began to realize his connection with the Force itself was the source of his encroaching madness. The Obelisk dealt with this the only way he could determine, by limiting his usage of the Force, and training his body harder to make up for it. Already advancing into middle age, he had reached peak physical condition for an average human, when something utterly unexpected happened.

Asked to stand watch over an experiment in one of the many Alchemy labs that Dorimad Sol used, in case any of the test subjects broke lose and the Sith scientists were inevitably unable to stop them. Not overly concerned with the details of the experiment, Koskian spent most of the afternoon of 'guard duty' trying to stay busy by annoying several of the subjects. Caged Ewoks, they didn't appreciate him so much, and on more then one occasion, the Obelisk pulled his arm back with scratches and bite marks.

It's still uncertain how the accident came about, but the results were unexpected. When the lights came back up after exploding machinery knocked out the power, Koskian felt strange, and thought he was having an out of body experience. Until he realized he wasn't in his body, and was for whatever reason caged. The Obelisk watched his body stop in mid motion, looking at it's hands, before turning and running out the room. The scientists ignored it, figuring the Obelisk's nerve had broken from the sudden flashes of light and the screaming of the ewoks.

Nearly a week later, Koskian finally convinced the Sith to release him, after his Apprentice Anarya confirmed that it was her Master. Koskian was partially certain that she knew after the first meeting, but that she had taken the opportunity to 'get back' at her Master. Freed from captivity, the now fuzzy Obelisk began tracking his escaped body, only to be called away to the crusade to retake Antei, wondering how he would explain this situation to his superiors.

==Odd Weapons, for a Jedi==

Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many [[Elder]]s of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were: 
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge. 
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip. 
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear.
[[Image:kosk.gif|thumb|right|Koskian and his sporks]]
His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent.

Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.

==History==

=== Childhood ===

Koskian had a rough, to say the least, up bringing. The last of twelve children, born to a poor family in the lower quarters of Pandath. His birth families name was 'Prefect', though nobody knew what that really meant. Scrapping by on what little food his father could bring home, by the time Koskian was seven he was a wiry, short boy. Taking to the streets at an early age, he learned to scavenge with his two older brothers, Adeoc and Laso. Finding what they could in dumpsters, or unattended, Koskian didn't really know the meaning of theft till much later, they would fix what they could, salvage what they couldn't, and sell it. Eventually the three moved up to simply breaking into homes in the nearby middle class neighborhoods, Koskian being the smallest of the trio he would perform the infiltration and open the doors for his brothers.

He never knew how, but on no less then three occasions Koskian knew for certain that they had tripped a silent alarm. His brothers dismissed it the first time, thinking their little brother was simply scared, until the law enforcement officials showed up demanding to know whom there parents were. After that his brothers took his word on it when he had a 'strange feeling' about something. They dodged the police on many occasions in this manner, and made a decent amount of money to augment their father's work. His parents never condoned these actions, but being as poor as the family was, they never outright forbade them either.

On a particularly bad night, Koskian had just turned twelve years of age, he watched his eldest brother Adeoc get shot in the chest three times by one of the shady traders they dealt with. Laso ran to find help, leaving the youngest of the Prefect children behind to deal with the trader. Koskian felt a rage boil up in him that had never been unleashed, hate and anger at the poverty that he and his family lived in, and he directed this at the so-called merchant. Waking up a hour later with Laso standing above him, he was told the merchant was dead, apparently of some kind of brain aneurysm, and that Adeoc was being moved to a med center.

Relived that his brother would live, he wondered what had happened when he unleashed his anger and pain.

=== Teen Years ===

While his childhood had been a rough enough environment, teenage life in the poverty stricken lower quarters of Pandath was possibly worse. Still short for his age, the Prefect child wouldn't experience his growth spurt till almost 18 years of age, he was ridiculed and targeted by others. His eldest brother Adeoc having found a steady job, and Laso gaining admittance to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Academy Imperial Academy], Koskian was left alone. No longer a part of a 'crew' to protect him, the 14 year old Koskian focused on day to day survival, hoping to make it to 18 so as to join the Academy as well.

In a moment of distraction while attempting a pick pocket, the young thief was caught by officials, who promptly brought him before the courts. This not being the first time he found himself there, the judge demanded he be put in remedial schooling, and probation of sorts. Disliking this immensely, Koskian spent the next few months on a closed campus in lower Pandath, where his height and light build were often the subject of jokes and amusement. In this time, Koskian became acquainted with brawling, getting into many fights with larger opponents. Every time that he lost, he learned something, and eventually it wasn't the smaller boy losing, so much as the bigger ones hurting themselves.

Gaining something of a reputation as a fighter, less and less bullies came after him, and some even began trying to make friends with the runt teen. Knowing that behavior would get him out of the mandated school quicker then anything else, he took on those who came to him and had them fight for him in a sense, rarely raising a hand where he 'felt' they would be caught. And he was right every time. His feelings from childhood never betrayed him he realized, and he wondered what this uncanny sense of luck was.

Growing stronger, and gaining street cred after completing his term at the school, Koskian set off into the world. At the age of 16, he hadn't seen his parents in several years, not since he had been placed in the school, and he had no intention of going back 'home'. Gaining ruffians and thieves, the young Prefect began setting up a gang. Using what skills they offered, they carved out a territory of protected businesses, safe houses, and drug fronts. With thieves roaming the houses of the middle class neighborhoods that he and his brothers had robbed as children, Koskian began to make quite a bit of money from tributes alone. Drugs were a good source of income he found out at that time, as was getting protection money from local businesses.

As with any gathering of thieves and lowlifes, somebody was always ready to sell out. Koskian's sixth sense, as he referred to it now, could tell who was planning on betraying him. The sensation grew the closer it came to occurring, and suddenly the police would find a would be informant at their meeting sights very dead. It was in this time that Koskian developed the quirk of using sporks as tools of destruction, after killing a soldier of his gang with one outside of a diner at night, no other weapons available to him he had taken utensils from the diner itself.

The police types found many in this state, plastic sporks shoved deep through their jugular or comparative organs and such. No law enforcement ever tracked down the crime ring to Koskian himself, and this frustrated them. No one is certain when it happened, but Koskian took on the alias 'Psyko' during this time, as his own sanity slowly eroded the more suspicious he became, killing his lieutenants when he simply suspected them of betrayal.

=== Discovery and Ascendancy ===

At about 17 years of age, Koskian, who was simply Psyko anymore, was wanted for a string of murders throughout the middle and upper quarters of Pandath, as he cut a swath through those he thought were the cause of his impoverished state. Most of his rational thought was simply gone at this point, and no one knew how he reached some of his targets, not even himself. His sixth sense was sharper then ever, showing him to passages he could never have squeezed through, yet somehow he pushed his body to do so. It's believed the first time he did this it resulted in intense pain, and eroded the thin walls he had around his sane mind, with no way to explain the how or why.

Nearing the winter months, Koskian felt...something was coming, and felt that it would be at the Pandath starport. Traveling there, he encountered a kindred spirit, at least in the feelings of anger and hate, in the form of then Jedi Hunter, Priyum Patel. Koskian could not understand the connection at the time, and Patel nearly killed him when he walked down an ally, fully aware of Psyko following him. After fighting the younger, insane man to the ground, the first time Psyko had lost a fight in years, the Force flowed between them, pulling some of Koskian's sanity back from the abyss. With coherent thoughts for the first time in two years, Priyum was able to explain many things.

Thus did Psyko learn of his sensitivity to the Force, and felt a burning will to learn more of this power. Helping Priyum complete his own mission, tracking down an agent of the Rebellion and getting information from him in a most grisly manner, he accompanied him back to the Emperor's Hammer space. Joining the Dark Brotherhood, and passing the tests that were set before him, he was sent to [[Clan Arcona]], Priyum's own Clan. Joining [[House Qel-Droma]], he met his Consul, the great Nighthawk, and his Quaestor Gavron Elliad. Both of these men had huge impacts on the young Obelisk's growth in the Dark Side.

Upon orders from on high that Houses would follow Order, he was moved to Galeres, where he finally found a true home. No more stuffy Krath, he found his Master, Tuojas D'Eraii, and his trainer in the way of blades, ShadowXX here. Eventually Koskian took over the House, taking on an Apprentice in future Brother Gavin Dahl, before leaving for a sabbatical of sorts.

=== Power and the Rediscovery ===

Koskian returned some years later, actually being Koskian now, having found some form of peace after assuring that his brother Laso had survived after the fall of the Empire. Spending time with both his brothers in Taanab, he was able to access bank accounts he had begun while running his gang, and departed most of the money to his brothers. Taking a sizable chunk of this for himself, he bought his own ship as well. The Class 720 Freighter [[Galerian Fire]] became his personal ship at this time, and returned him to the Coronada system in the Eos sector to find the Brotherhood in turmoil.

Returning to find his own Clan in shamble, Koskian did what he could to pick up the pieces, taking over as Quaestor of Galeres once more and waving a flag of unified Arcona. Having come back during the time of grievances against the Emperor's Hammer and its leader Ronin, Koskian didn't have to take long to choose sides. Quickly choosing to follow the lead of then Grandmaster [[Firefox]], formerly of Arcona, Koskian threw in his support for the secession.

The Exodus came swiftly, the fleets of the Tie Corps hounding the Clans out of the safety of the Coronada system. After some travels and losses, Arcona found its way through the Maw, and Koskian got to set his gaze on what would be his first real home in years. The [[Dajorra System]] welcomed them with open arms, no sentient beings advanced enough to fight off the settling of the powerful Dark Jedi. In the years that followed, Koskian took more sabbaticals, before returning to finally take his place among the Arconae and as a leader of the Clan. He then became the Quaestor of Galeres once more, his fourth tenure in his career, and focused on making the beating heart of Arcona become even stronger.

Sometime after this, he was appointed Proconsul of the Clan, and due to a misfortune befalling his [[Consul]] during conflict with a rival Clan, was forced to lead in war time.

===A New Path===

Shortly after leading the Clan to victory over [[Scholae Palatinae]] in a war over young members trying to curry favor through sabotage, Koskian began looking around his old home. He did not care for what he saw, as the attitude of the Clan continued to build more and more towards arrogance and blind hatred for the other Clans. Watching his Clan turn more and more towards the ways of their former task masters within the [[Emperor's Hammer]], Koskian resigned his position upon Consul Stratego's return to duty, and left for a sabbatical.

Returning shortly after the end of the [[Rite of Supremacy]], Koskian made a surprising move, after being contacted by the very people he had helped defeat. Those of Scholae Palatine bore him no apparent grudge, at least on the surface, and Koskian is naturally aware he is not trusted there yet. Joining with former enemies on the behest of some he has come to admire, even during the time of war, Koskian has found new strength in this, his new home.

Koskian assisted the military forces of Scholae Palatine during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coctyus. Serving his new Clan faithfully throughout the war led to him being made head of the forces that were to reclaim the world of Caina, and the first new Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. After retaking the planet, Koskian was forced to take another sabbatical, but has recently returned to assist the House once more.

===Warring with the Past===

Not long after returning from his sabbatical, Scholae Palatine was called to war in aid of Plagueis, a Clan of lesser value but a possible ally. With the fleet dispatched, Koskian was called to a service he hadn't dealt with in many years, that of the military. Rank dictated command, and his experience was seen as valuable, and was given the command of the [[4th Strike Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|4th Strike Regiment]]. Accompanying this was the rank of Lieutenant General.

Despite this appointment and awards of nobility from the reclamation of Cainia, Koskian still wonders if his clan mates truly trust him. The stress of war has begun to crack what some would call a precarious psyche, and Koskian has begun to have more and more visions of the future, a talent in the Force that he has long avoided due to his own previous madness. Dementia has not set in yet, but the Lieutenant General is certain that it is coming, and hopes to stave it off until the war is over.

The Class 720 Freighter [[Galerian Fire]] became his personal ship at this time, and returned him to the Coronada system in the Eos sector to find the Brotherhood in turmoil.

Returning to find his own Clan in shamble, Koskian did what he could to pick up the pieces, taking over as Quaestor of Galeres once more and waving a flag of unified Arcona. Having come back during the time of grievances against the Emperor's Hammer and its leader Ronin, Koskian didn't have to take long to choose sides. Quickly choosing to follow the lead of then Grandmaster [[Firefox]], formerly of Arcona, Koskian threw in his support for the secession.

The Exodus came swiftly, the fleets of the Tie Corps hounding the Clans out of the safety of the Coronada system. After some travels and losses, Arcona found its way through the Maw, and Koskian got to set his gaze on what would be his first real home in years. The [[Dajorra System]] welcomed them with open arms, no sentient beings advanced enough to fight off the settling of the powerful Dark Jedi. In the years that followed, Koskian took more sabbaticals, before returning to finally take his place among the Arconae and as a leader of the Clan. He then became the Quaestor of Galeres once more, his fourth tenure in his career, and focused on making the beating heart of Arcona become even stronger.

Sometime after this, he was appointed Proconsul of the Clan, and due to a misfortune befalling his [[Consul]] during conflict with a rival Clan, was forced to lead in war time.

===A New Path===

Shortly after leading the Clan to victory over [[Scholae Palatinae]] in a war over young members trying to curry favor through sabotage, Koskian began looking around his old home. He did not care for what he saw, as the attitude of the Clan continued to build more and more towards arrogance and blind hatred for the other Clans. Watching his Clan turn more and more towards the ways of their former task masters within the [[Emperor's Hammer]], Koskian resigned his position upon Consul Stratego's return to duty, and left for a sabbatical.

Returning shortly after the end of the [[Rite of Supremacy]], Koskian made a surprising move, after being contacted by the very people he had helped defeat. Those of Scholae Palatine bore him no apparent grudge, at least on the surface, and Koskian is naturally aware he is not trusted there yet. Joining with former enemies on the behest of some he has come to admire, even during the time of war, Koskian has found new strength in this, his new home.

Koskian assisted the military forces of Scholae Palatine during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coctyus. Serving his new Clan faithfully throughout the war led to him being made head of the forces that were to reclaim the world of Caina, and the first new Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. After retaking the planet, Koskian was forced to take another sabbatical, but has recently returned to assist the House once more.

===Warring with the Past===

Not long after returning from his sabbatical, Scholae Palatine was called to war in aid of Plagueis, a Clan of lesser value but a possible ally. With the fleet dispatched, Koskian was called to a service he hadn't dealt with in many years, that of the military. Rank dictated command, and his experience was seen as valuable, and was given the command of the [[4th Strike Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|4th Strike Regiment]]. Accompanying this was the rank of Lieutenant General.

Despite this appointment and awards of nobility from the reclamation of Cainia, Koskian still wonders if his clan mates truly trust him. The stress of war has begun to crack what some would call a precarious psyche, and Koskian has begun to have more and more visions of the future, a talent in the Force that he has long avoided due to his own previous madness. Dementia has not set in yet, but the Lieutenant General is certain that it is coming, and hopes to stave it off until the war is over.

Koskian lead the [[4th Strike Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|4th Strike Regiment]] through the battle of Jusadiah, smashing portions of the Vong invasion force. The surprise attack by Arcona came as no shock to the Obelisk, the machinations of Consul Doto were well known to him. The intervention of the Dark Council fleet did surprise him in the end, and after the forces were recalled to Cainia, Koskian began cloistering himself away from his House mates, meditating on the encroaching madness.

==Odd Weapons, for a Jedi==

Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many [[Elder]]s of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were: 
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge. 
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip. 
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear.
[[Image:kosk.gif|thumb|right|Koskian and his sporks]]
His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent.

Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.

Over the years, Koskian has had many Apprentices.

{{quote|Your future, our hands.| Company slogan}}

Naruba Investments is a subsidiary of [[starwars:Dressian_Kiolsh_Merchant_Bank|the Dressian Kiolsh Merchant Bank]], generating upwards of one billion [[starwars:Galactic_Credit_Standard|Republic Credits]] in business since it's formation. The firm, which has offices in both [[Estle City]] and [[starwars:Financial_Distrcit|the Financial District of Coruscant]], carries out financing for capital ships to private military concerns, specifically [[Dlarit Corporation]],and [[Synergy Construction and Mining]]. It also trades in [[starwars:aurodium|aurodium]] and other materials on various stock markets. While the company is exceptionally profitable, it is, in reality, a front for [[Clan Arcona]], and specifically, [[House Qel-Droma]].

== Staff & Mandate ==

The company's staff is made up almost entirely of [[Clan Arcona]] members. To that end, the Board of Directors is also the Summit of [[Clan Arcona]]. When formed, then-[[Quaestor]] of [[House Galeres]] [[Arcturus Xyler]] made it clear that the company's mandate was to launder funds and assets seized by [[Clan Arcona]]. The existence of Naruba Investments has been hidden from the rest of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], the general consensus being it is simply too profitable to be shared with the rest of the Clans. It's uses are varied; primarily, it acts as a disguise for agents of [[Clan Arcona]] when on assigment in the [[starwars:Core|Core Worlds]] as the company has offices on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. As such, when members of [[House Qel-Droma]] begin a mission, the staging point is almost always located within the [[starwars:Financial_District|Financial District of Coruscant]], specifically, Naruba Investments' corporate headquarters.

== Board Of Directors ==

Whilst [[Arcturus Xyler]] is the Chief Executive of the company, it's operations and directives come exclusively from the Clan Summit. However, the day-to-day management is overseen by the [[starwars:Muun|Muun]] accountant, [[Eli Naruba]].

* [[Legorii Kryotek]], '''Assistant Director''' - ''Mineral Trading Section''

== Assets & Operating Budget ==

Naruba Investments focuses on maintaining the property portfolio of [[Clan Arcona]], [[House Galeres]] and [[House Qel-Droma]]. During the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Arcturus_Gadeskin_Xyler#The_Coup_.2F_Giletta_Bombing| Arcona Civil War of 23ABY], the company secured financing for the military efforts of [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=House_Galeres| Galeres]-[http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=House_Qel-Droma| Qel-Droma] Junta, led by Demosthenes and [[Arcturus Xyler]]. However, following the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Arcturus_Xyler#The_Coup_.2F_Giletta_Bombing| Giletta incident], management of Naruba Investments was wrested from [[Arcturus Xyler]] by [[Mejas Doto]] and [[Vassan Rokir]]. It was the decision of the [[Consul]] to liquidate sections of the company that were used against them, primarily heavy weapons manufacturing. Following this, [[Mejas Doto]] assumed the title of Chief Executive and hid the existence of the company from the entire [[Dark Brotherhood]], including [[Clan Arcona]]. In 29ABY, [[Arcturus Xyler]] resumed his position as Chief Executive and ordered the recapitalisation of Naruba Investments by means of succsessful cooperation with [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Synergy_Construction_and_Mining| Synergy Inc.]. Today, both companies enjoy a healthy and profitable relationship - [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Synergy_Construction_and_Mining| Synergy Inc.] offers capital finance on it's products through Naruba Investments.

The company's operating budget is a closely-guarded secret, however, rumours within [[Clan Arcona]] place it somewhere close to one billion [[starwars:Galactic_Standard_Credit|credits]]. Chief Financial Officer [[Eli Naruba]] posted profits to it's parent company, [[starwars:Dressian_Kiolsh_Merchant_Bank|Dressian Kiolsh Merchant Bank]], in excess of 950,000,000 [[starwars:Galactic_Standard_Credit|credits]] for the fiscal year. It can be assumed that the missing credits were skimmed and utilised by [[Clan Arcona]] for day-to-day operations and running costs. The assets of Naruba Investments include the entire [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Arcona_Expeditionary_Force| Arcona Fleet], the headquarters and buildings attached to [[House Qel-Droma]], [[House Galeres]] and various personal ships owned by members of [[Clan Arcona]]. As a member of the Clan, all funds and properties are essentially owned by Naruba Investments, the company acting as a laundering service.

=== Funding ===

As the corporate front for [[House Qel-Droma]] and [[Arcona]] as a whole, Naruba Investments also acts as funding for it's operations. In the last fiscal year, it is estimated that [[Clan Arcona]] spent approximately 50,000,000 [[starwars:Galactic_Standard_Credit|credits]] to finance it's efforts. It also offers finance packages to customers for [[Synergy Construction and Mining]]and other companies in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] and [[starwars:Outer_Rim_Territories|Outer Rim]]. This, coupled with trading in minerals such as [[starwars:aurodium|aurodium]] and [[starwars:Nova_Crystals|nova crystals]], ensures that there is a sufficent revenue stream for [[Arcona]]'s operations.

== Offices ==

Naruba Investments' corporate headquarters are located on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. However, the majority of it's dealings take place on [[Selen]]. During the [[Vong Incursion]], the company's non-Jedi staff were evacuated to the [[ISDII Eye of the Abyss II]] for the duration of the emergency. [[Eli Naruba]] was posted in the [[starwars:Financial_District|Financial District]] during the hostilities and survived the brunt of the attack. The Board of Directors suspended trading and closed all open deals during the Yuuzhan Vong's assault in order to protect it's assets from destruction. At the moment, the company remains on hiatus following the outcome of the [[Vong Incursion]]. It is believed that the company will play a major role in future conflicts as it's existence becomes more widespread throughout the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==Forming==

Prefect Arms was founded by Koskian d'Tana not long after the Exodus, and is one of the original 'shadow' companies of the Tana Consortium. Specializing originally in small arms manufacturing and design, it's moved up to larger projects, including mass producing infantry rifles and even some starship weapons. The company is ran primarily on Nar Shadda in a manufacturing block that the Family 'acquired' through various strong arm tactics, and the work force is local. Maurier Security patrols the grounds and Desserx Services does the back ground checks on the workers to insure 'company loyalty'.

==External Policy==

Prefect Arms deals with just about anyone with the credits to buy. Special orders, while expensive, are a common enough factor to make up a good percentage of the company profits. The current CEO, Koskian, has taken on the interesting problem of keeping the company above the loss line, as much of what the factories produce go to Maurier Security and Ozrei Destructive Applications Company. As both of these are Consortium companies, the profit is essentially non-existent.

In an effort to maximize profits, assembly line droids have been installed for the mass production orders. Standard issue Prefect Arms blaster rifles are being used in minor conflicts throughout the Galaxy, as the company has no scruples in dealing with would-be War Lords or rebels alike. They refuse to do any business with the Emperor's Hammer or any of it's affiliated factions, and avoid dealing with those who would wage war on them so as to not get involved.

The company has no qualms about selling to any Brotherhood Clans, even should they be at war with another Clan that members of the Family are in. The Consortium is able to separate business and personal.

==Internal Policy==

Prefect Arms deals with internal security issues swiftly and harshly, which has lead to there being very, very few problems. Theft from one of the manufacturing plants results in the death of the thief, and likely anyone who aided them. Theft from the research and development facilities leads to the more drastic 'Family Cleansing' in which the thief and most of his extended family are wiped from existence.

On the up side, the company offers a 15% discount to employees when they purchase weapons for themselves.

==Organization==

*Chief Executive Officer: Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana founded, and still controls, the Prefect Arms company and plants. While the majority of the facilities and properties are in other names, they all are owned by Koskian.

*Head of Production: Grid Torna. Grid is a former officer of the Scholae Palatine fleet, an Ensign on board the Warpsite before being court-martialed for insubordination, and a slew of various charges. He befriended Kosk during battle against the Vong and Arconans, and is one of the few men Koskian trusts.

*Head of Research and Development: Leri Keob, a verpine with various, unproven, criminal connections in his past. His ability to manipulate designs and invent entirely new weapons have made him the primary source of development and head of research.

The [[Reclamation of Judecca]] was a [[Scholae Palatinae]] event that reclaimed the [[Cocytus System]] back from the Vong who had taken over during the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Incursion]]. [[Proconsul]] [[Phoenix Olkyssagh Palpatine]] proclaimed himself as [[Consul]], and Emperor of the System near the start of the war since he easily recognized the early signs of insanity that [[Braecen Kaeth]] was showing. Lucien was named as his Proconsul, with the reopening of [[House Dorimad Sol]] and the appointment of new leaders throughout the Clan, although [[House Acclivis Draco]]'s Summit was not touched. Over the course of several days, Scholae Palatinae gradually retook the system, and reclaimed [[Antenora]], [[Caina]], [[Judecca]] and [[Ptolomea]].

== History ==
===Gathering the Dead===
The conquest of the Cocytus System had resulted in the deaths, and disappearances, of many members, including Niemand 'Duda' Machweg, and the Knight Class Envoy, [[Zeron]]. As the order from the Grand Master for a general retreat was received aboard the Excidium from the Consul, Braecen, before he announced that the Clan would be pushed to their limits as they would reclaim the System that was theirs. The amusement in the tone of voice of the Krath to [[Thran Occasus|The High Admiral]] issuing orders to attack both Vong fleets, at this point Phoenix recognised the insanity in the Consul and decided to take over the [[Clan]]. Upon Phoenix's announcement to Scholae Palatinae, he also reopened [[House Dorimad Sol]] with [[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana]] as Quaestor.

Despite Braecen's removal from Consul, between him, [[Thran Occasus|Thran]] and Natth a'Niel, the preparations of Scholae Palatinae's forces began aboard the Excidium, as the ship neared the system. The plan marked ''Operation Thunder Foot'' included pulling the majority of the fleet past the first Vong vessel before setting off for the second fleet. There were two platoons under Braecen's command that boarded the world ships, placing warheads that were then linked to a dead man's switch.

Two of the three Battleteams of [[House Caliburnus|Caliburnus]], [[Souls of Darkness]] and [[Nightmare Squadron|Nightmare Brigade]], had been called to assist their recently appointed [[Quaestor]], [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], in an attack on [[Dynasty Station]], in order to reclaim it for House Caliburnus. Despite the Vong's loathing of technology, they had seemingly managed to take note of the strategic importance of the Space Station.

===Rescue at the Shrine===
A small team of Dark Jedi went on a hunt to find three unnamed members who had been captured, and were being held, at the Shrine on [[Judecca]]. The Shrine had reportedly been cleansed according to Vong standards, as fauna and flora that had never been seen before in the galaxy now roamed free around the Shrine, and pockets of Vong were said to be stranded on the planet. The reports from the three unnamed members, suddenly stopped after a few days of reporting difficulties, at which point orders were issued by the Grand Marshall that the members were to be brought back, and the Shrine secured.

After three kilometres of nothing being found, the team were found by four Vong, forcing them into battle, with the victory of the Palatinaes as the outcome, though the final Vong was killed by Daniel Stephens's lightsaber in an attack to the groin in a stroke of luck. On the last leg of the mission, signs became more and more overt about the Vong inhabitation due to appearances of a recent battle, some of the most obvious things being laser scores on the ground, razor bugs in trees, and the final thing that caught the group's attention was a large pool of greenish-black blood.

Upon approach to the Shrine, the three missing members were spied upon tied to a tree, with three Vongs guarding them, and each taking their turn in beating the Jedi. The appearance of the situation was that the captured Dark Jedi had taken out a few Vong before their capture. The Vong were shot from the trees, all three instantly dying at the base of the tree as the members were released from the tree and watered and fed before being returned to base.

===Attack on Dynasty Station===
One part of Operation Dragon Claw. The attack was at first set to be on the moon of [[Ptolomea|Alberigo Outpost]], though this was changed shortly before the attack was to commence to the Dynasty Station, upon review that it would provide a more strategic placing for CSP. Carried out on the Quaestor's orders, Souls of Darkness and Nightmare Brigade went in for an attack on the station assisted by the 4th Legion. The TIE/DS and assault ships lead the fighters to the Space Station whilst the Quaestor and Aedile stayed back on the ''[[Valkyrie]]'', and waited until the reports came through that it was clear to land.

After several hours of battle, one of the ports were cleared for the landing of the ''Valkyrie''. Upon unloading with extra support, the last few pockets of Vong on the Space Station were wiped out within a few days and Dynasty was secured back into Caliburnus's hands.

===The Valley of Silence===
Another part of Operation Dragon Claw. The Valley of Silence protects the House from a full Frontal round attack, and held several gun emplacements with the idea that it would stop it from falling into enemy hands. However, the Vong had taken hold of these gun emplacements. Using 4 companies that were named Alpha Coy, under Adam Anderson, Bravo, under [[Timbal]], Charlie, under [[Impetus]] and Delta under Natth a'Niel, the Vong were attacked once all companies were in place.

The attack however, was of no surprise to the Vong, especially since the companies were all in view. The Vong had also learned of the way that the Dark Jedi fought, thus making it to achieve the two objectives made it harder on those fighting. Once the Vong had been pushed into the centre of a horseshoe in the valley, the order to set off air-blasts was given. Many of the Dark Jedi that were amongst the command troops had dropped further and further back away from the main fighting, and were heading back towards the command station when it was detonated. Many members were lost when the ground gave way.

===Vongforming===
The Sanyassan Race, which were considered to be Vongforming in that another race had been conquered and converted by the Vong, had been attacked at the Shrine and defeated. On the shuttle to the Base, the plans were explained for the next attack on the Vong Terraforming Station after regrouping with the 9th Legion, 303 Infantry Division.

At first, a section of the team in a group of four that were sent out only encountered one Vong, which soon grew to four, as their fight attracted the unwanted attention of these humanoids. As soon as another group came to their aid, the four Vong fell swiftly, leaving the path clear to enter the Terraforming Station.

From the centre outwards, the path was direct to take the Station, though it was frequently interrupted by fights with the Vong. Once they had retaken the Station, and released the few prisoners that they had found, and saw the effects of the start of the Vong forming process that was being inflicted by the Vong. The team of sixteen had been worn down to eleven, and the Station was now under control.

===The Abandoned Temple===
Braecen lead a group, Delta to the abandoned temple under the order of Natth a'Niel and Thran Occasus, that the Vong had set themselves up inside there, in a hope to unlock the secrets held inside to use for their own gain. On the way, the ship followed a space battle and destroyed two of the ships in a bomb raid; however this cost around 70 men of the 120 strong group.

Once landing on Ohmen, the group soon came in contact with the Vong. Whilst fighting, a Yuuzhan Vong charged with his aim for the Krath who appeared to have no idea about it, Fenix shot the Vong down in three blaster shots. As soon as the conflict was finished, Braecen delved into the Temple and sort out a familiar Force user that he had sensed whilst fighting.

Once the Pontifex had located the user, he was faced with a prone form of Arania Lawakiro Palpatine, who had disappeared at the end of the Sixth Great Jedi War. The Dark Jedi Master had been altered by a Shaper, and Braecen brought Arania back onto the ship to return with to Phoenix.

===Cleansing the Blood Forest===
The small and selected team of Dark Jedi that composed of the [[Souls of Darkness]], with [[Erianna "Rayne" Victae]], [[Yzarc Rellik Kaeth]] and [[Yeldarb Vohokou]], their mission that had been laid out in front of them by the Quaestor was to capture a shaper, whilst ensuring the Vong did not get past the Blood Forest.

As night fell and the team of twelve had split into two groups, each waiting to enter the Vong base, and armed with the plan of one group to distract as the other planted charges and captured the Shaper. There were around a dozen warriors at the base, which spotted one group sooner then expected and a sudden battle broke out.

Once the battle was over, Malaki was left to cover the entrance in a sniper position, as the Aedile left to fetch the transport, and the remained of the group entered the compound. Three members were then instructed to obliterate the place, as the others departed in search of the Shaper.

Though capturing the Shaper resulted in injuries across the quartet that had gone in search of him, they overpowered him and dragged him out of the compound.

===The Temple of Rakata===
The Vong had infiltrated the Temple, where many of Acclivis Draco's house artefacts were stored. There is also a source of great power located in the area which is of great importance to the House. Quickly unloading from the ships, the Dark Jedi and the Forces soon broke into the temple through two of the entrances. The Shamed ones and Chazrachs were soon slaughtered due to lack of armour, and lack of warning that they had received. The first group of warriors did not fare any better against the Forces, as the Acclivis Draco members knew the corridors and terrain of the temple much better then their assailants.

Once they had entered into the Main Chamber, the Warriors took longer to kill then the previous group, but the Forces soon overpowered the Vong as the floor became slippy with black blood. Once the Vong were defeated there, the small group of Dark Jedi gathered on a keystone in the centre, before Cuchulain tapped into the centre, and the keystone sunk into the vault below the Main Chamber. It was thought that the Vong had forced their way in due to the reaction of the Pontifex.

No Vong were found until the Jedi entered the Burial Chamber. Around twenty warriors surrounded two sarcophagi, and a female Vong Shaper. A vicious onslaught occurred, taking out all but two of the Vong, and three of the Dark Jedi. The amphistaff of the Shaper took out another Jedi, leaving the Quaestor and Aedile to fight her. A skirmish between [[RevengeX Palpatine|RevengeX]] and the Shaper ensued, which ended in [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine|Cooch]] pulling a tentacle that was attached to the nerves and hitting her across the back of the head with his Hurley Stick.

===The Vong Base on Caina===
Forces from the House of the Rising Sun were soon able to locate the leader of the Vong forces on Caina. The Shaper had plans of using the vast minerals and almost limitless supply of water on Caina to create a new fleet capable of conquering the Republic and Brotherhood alike. While fierce battles raged on between the dwindling forces of the renewed house and the Vong, Quaestor Koskian d'Tana recruited a single Dark Knight who had already proven himself against the invaders many times.

It was with the help of [[Prajna Berkana]] that the two infiltrated the Shaper's base, under the cover of fog created by melting ice. Once inside, the Obelisks surprised many Yuuzhan Vong Warriors with Force-enhanced speed and stealth. Finally they confronted the Shaper and several body guards. As Koskian was wounded, Prajna was empowered by loyalty and fear, destroying the remaining troopers near by and capturing the Vong leader.

Upon returning to the base, integration of the Shaper occurred, though the Vong refused to co-operate and insisted on speaking to the Grand Master. The Dark Jedi Knight persisted with threats of death that did nothing to help, since it would only honor their gods. The Shaper was soon transported to where the Consul wanted him.

===Et tu Brutus===
The clan was preparing for the impending attack from the Vong, with the Jedi being prepared should the fighters fail on their attack. The Forces were gathered around the comlinks as news came through on the fighter's attack, though most of the fighters were lost, only one of the four Vong ships survived.

Once on [[Judecca|Brutus]], the Vong raged forward, knowing that it would be honourable to die in battle for their gods. The combat was heavy on the Forces, as the floor became thick with different colours of blood from those who had fallen. Once the Vong had all been slain, only a few members of Scholae Palatinae remained, looking dazed before making their way back through the oozing mess of bodies.

===Search and Destroy===
Commander Ail'en Sommetra was in charge of the ship, when the order was given by Braecen to chase the remains of the Yuuzhan Vong ships. Though she had shared her concerns with the condition of the ''[[Excidium]]'' to Braecen and Natth a'Niel, though both had dismissed her and told her to do the best that she was able to. The insanity of the former Consul meant the fleet was following the Vong with a reckless abandon. The order was given to deploy fighters when enemy coralskippers were found coming in, the ''[[Ogmio's Whip]]'' was weakened by it. The coralskippers that had gotten past Thran's fighter attack ships, headed for the ''Excidium''. The ''[[M/CRV Victory|Victory]]'' was destroyed shortly before the ''[[YCHT Emperor's Will|Will]]'' arrived, which looked half-wrecked. Once all the fighters had docked, the fleet leapt into hyper drive to avoid further attack and destruction.

Upon arrival back into the Clan Space, assistance from the ''[[STRKC Dark Predator|Predator]]'', ''[[M/CRV Palpatine's Hammer|Hammer]]'' and ''[[M/STRKC Valkyrie|Valkyrie]]'' was requested. However, the Vong ships had followed the remaindered of the fleet back. The ''Valkyrie'' and ''Hammer'' turned on the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, as the ''Predator'' enclosed on the gathering. Within minutes, the ''Valkyrie'' was destroyed through a snap to the spine, and shortly afterwards the ''Hammer'' was also gone, with the ''Predator'' severely weakened. As the escape pods were deployed from both the ''Predator'' and the ''Excidium'', the Vong fleets moved in closer, and aimed for their targets, taking both the ships out.

== Who We Are ==

The d'Tana Family has its roots in Clan Arcona, but has since flourished into multiple Clans across the Brotherhood. Built up in the manner of a criminal organization, the members are those who crave profits, adventure, and generally upsetting the system. Despite all of this, there are few who are as loyal to the Brotherhood as those who bear the name d'Tana. Started by the venerable, and retired, Voranyen d'Tana, the Family has never portrayed itself as particularly 'honorable' or 'trustworthy' in matters that don't involve credits or political gain.

With a diverse membership, the d'Tana Family covers aspects of drug running, weapons and starship manufacturing, and have dabbled quite a bit in slave trading. Assassination and Bounty Hunting are the chosen professions of several Family members, while politics and espionage are the trade of others. All who are named d'Tana know that they can trust no one, except each other. The Family has organized it self in a rather traditional way, the youngest and most inexperienced at the bottom despite standing within the Brotherhood.

Originally Voranyen lead the Family as the Boss, a Godfather like position of power, and his original recruits, the Three Brothers, Alex, Gavin, and Koskian were his Underbosses. This power structure still stands, though with out the Boss himself, who has long since retired. The Underbosses are in a silent competition with each other for power, to see who should lead the Family now. Beneath the Underbosses are the Capos, members who have responsibility over certain Family operations. Most of these have aligned themselves behind a chosen Underboss to add to the power base.

Some of the Capos have announced their own choices, others remain silent, but still doing what they can for their chosen liege.

== What We Do ==
Originally the d'Tana Family focused on illicit activities to benefit House Galeres and Clan Arcona in general. Over time it became apparent that no one would miss a few thousand credits a month, garnished from the spice mining operations that the Family oversaw, organized, and basically started for the Clan.

As political and financial power grew for the Family, and they expanded their membership, they expanded operations. With Dahl Plating, a starship building company based off Nar Shadda and Nal Hutta, and Prefect Arms, another company focused on weapons production on Nar Shadda, they diversified the income of the Family. Dessrx Services has further ingrained the Family into the underworld, offering 'solutions' for 'problems' regarding information handling, acquisition, and possible target elimination.

One of the more public operations is the Ozrei Destructive Applications Company, or ODAC, which has recruited a strong following of mercenaries and bounty hunters who've signed substantial contracts with the Family. Maurier Security Services handles all the security for the Family businesses, and is the only real common factor linking the companies. Santhe Mining has control over an impressive number of mining worlds and locations, as well as refineries and facilities for processing ore into metals to be used in construction.

Olkyssagh Shipping and Transport moves the materials of all three manufacturing companies within the Family operations. With all of these businesses based off of Coronada Station in the Charros IV system, it can be more legitimately explained as to why they partner in so many ways, as it's simply convenient. The Underbosses directly control the drug trade portion of the Family still, not trusting even their loyal Capos with such an important portion of income.

==The Family Recruiting Policy==

A potential d'Tana is told simply to "dress up" or "get dressed." He or she is taken to a private place and seated at a long table, right next to the lord. Other d'Tana Mafia members who are present will join in and recite oaths and promises of loyalty. The inductee must then hold a burning piece of paper as a simple of burning away all other things that . In the d'Tana family, the new member is paired with a more experienced Mafia member who will act as his guide to lead him into Mafia life. The inductee must Vow that he will be a member of the family for life, and then a drop of blood is drawn from his trigger finger. The prospective member must also show a penchant for making money or at the very least a willingness to commit acts of violence when ordered to. Usually, the new d'Tana must pass a test before he will be considered for full induction, and this test is commonly rumored to be some sort of participation in an act of deception or violence.

===The Process===

* For a new member to join the family there must be a personal invitation issued to the one who is being considered.

* The one being considered can not be below the rank of Knight

* A Request from an individual to join the family will automatically be denizzled; no questions asked.

* Along ''with'' the recommendation from a family member, the one being considered must have passed in a short 'application' letter stating what they are going to bring to the family.

* There must be a vote held after the recommendation has been made - and the ultimate result is determined by the family consensus.

* There must be a degree of personal friendship and interaction between the majority of the current members and the one being considered.

* There must be a waiting period of at least eight (8) weeks from the time the invitation was accepted and the person being considered takes the d'Tana name to give a chance for the current members who might not know this 'recruit' to get to know them better before the next step.

* After the person being considered has taken on the family name, there must be another 4 weeks trial period to make sure the person who joined is going to stick around and contribute to the life of the family. If they do not, they will be removed, no questions asked.

* All requirements are subject to change.

== What We Do ==
Over the last several years, and since [[Clan Arcona]] settled in the Dajorra system, the d'Tana family has seen fit to expand the Clan's power base in any manner they could; legally or otherwise. Mostly the latter is true. With the discovery of a type of spice on Eldar: Garconian, the d'Tana Family spear headed the initiative of getting mining bases and a trade routes to nearby Hutt space established. The Tana route has been a lucrative form of income for [[House Galeres]], and helped fund many projects for [[Clan Arcona]] as a whole.

Smuggling has been in the hearts of the Family for several years as well. More often than not, the personal craft of a d'Tana coming back to Eldar would show signs of battle. Never have they lost cargo, nor a ship, and the heat of fighting off the 'good guys' of law enforcement is an intense draw and they see it as a challenge.

In more recent times, with Selene going Missing in Action in Tarentum territory (Pre-Alliance), [[Du Maurier d'Tana]] leaving Arcona for another clan, and recently having a leadership change under the new Arconan Consul, Mejas Doto, a few others have been shifted out of their leadership positions. As a result, the family has lost some of the influence they have had in the Brotherhood as a whole. Although, they continue with their family dealings as if nothing had ever changed and their influence on the Brotherhood Planetary Systems, they have confidence, will once again rise to its full potential.

==The Family Recruiting Policy==

A potential d'Tana is told simply to "dress up" or "get dressed." He or she is taken to a private place and seated at a long table, right next to the lord. Other d'Tana Mafia members who are present will join in and recite oaths and promises of loyalty. The inductee must then hold a burning piece of paper as a simple of burning away all other things that . In the d'Tana family, the new member is paired with a more experienced Mafia member who will act as his guide to lead him into Mafia life. The inductee must Vow that he will be a member of the family for life, and then a drop of blood is drawn from his trigger finger. The prospective member must also show a penchant for making money or at the very least a willingness to commit acts of violence when ordered to. Usually, the new d'Tana must pass a test before he will be considered for full induction, and this test is commonly rumored to be some sort of participation in an act of deception or violence.

===The Process===

* For a new member to join the family there must be a personal invitation issued to the one who is being considered.

* The one being considered can not be below the rank of Knight

* A Request from an individual to join the family will automatically be denizzled; no questions asked.

* Along ''with'' the recommendation from a family member, the one being considered must have passed in a short 'application' letter stating what they are going to bring to the family.

* There must be a vote held after the recommendation has been made - and the ultimate result is determined by the family consensus.

* There must be a degree of personal friendship and interaction between the majority of the current members and the one being considered.

* There must be a waiting period of at least eight (8) weeks from the time the invitation was accepted and the person being considered takes the d'Tana name to give a chance for the current members who might not know this 'recruit' to get to know them better before the next step.

* After the person being considered has taken on the family name, there must be another 4 weeks trial period to make sure the person who joined is going to stick around and contribute to the life of the family. If they do not, they will be removed, no questions asked.

* All requirements are subject to change.

}}

== Who We Are ==
The d'Tana family used to be a predominantly Arconan family, with ties to both great Houses of Arcona. Although, they have recently endeavored to spread themselves out over the Brotherhood systems in order to re-establish their presence. Founded by Voranyen d'Tana, he brought in several of those who were his Brothers in the Force: Alex and Koskian, and Gavin Dahl. Some years later Selene and [[Malidir]] (he defected to the [[Erinos]] family) were both brought into the family, recognizing their value and spirit of guidance that they were providing the Clan they were in at the time. Du Maurier joined the family after coming back from some time away from [[Clan Arcona]]. Recently added to the Family are [[Rho]], who has recently been appointed [[Quaestor]] of [[House Galeres]] of Arcona under the leadership of Mejas Doto, [[Etah]], who has held a number of different positions within Arcona and has proven to be a great leader and [[Orv Dessrx|Orv]] who has also been a leader as the Aedile of House Qel-Droma of Clan Arcona has proven a great asset to making Arcona into a bigger and better place to serve the Brotherhood. The d'Tana's have since then been able to bring in other notable Brotherhood members into the family: [[Phoenix Olkyssagh Palpatine|Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine]] who happens to be the Consul of Clan Scholae Palatinae and has great influence in his position, [[Debric Santhe d'Tana|Debric d'Tana]] who has proven to be a great asset to the family, Adien Corsair d'Tana, whom the rest of the family has more than enough confidence that he will add to the family influence. Their 10th member, [[Talos Vyranius d'Tana]], was most recently added and shows much promise to rise and to being very powerful among his clan. Furthermore, Talos has just recently returned to [[House Galeres]]. His joining was not taken lightly by the family... some were even skeptical, but most are confident in his skills and ability to bring honour to the family. 
--------------------------------------------
The d'Tana Family has been a driving force within especially Arcona since it's inception, if not on the actual Summit at times. They have been able to bring forth their quiet influence from the Shadows, offering wisdom to the leaders of the Clan. Often it seems that those who are distrusted by this family and it's fellows have not remained in power or their respective Clans for long.

== What We Do ==
Over the last several years, and since [[Clan Arcona]] settled in the Dajorra system, the d'Tana family has seen fit to expand the Clan's power base in any manner they could; legally or otherwise. Mostly the latter is true. With the discovery of a type of spice on Eldar: Garconian, the d'Tana Family spear headed the initiative of getting mining bases and a trade routes to nearby Hutt space established. The Tana route has been a lucrative form of income for [[House Galeres]], and helped fund many projects for [[Clan Arcona]] as a whole.

Smuggling has been in the hearts of the Family for several years as well. More often than not, the personal craft of a d'Tana coming back to Eldar would show signs of battle. Never have they lost cargo, nor a ship, and the heat of fighting off the 'good guys' of law enforcement is an intense draw and they see it as a challenge.

In more recent times, with Selene going Missing in Action in Tarentum territory (Pre-Alliance), [[Du Maurier d'Tana]] leaving Arcona for another clan, and recently having a leadership change under the new Arconan Consul, Mejas Doto, a few others have been shifted out of their leadership positions. As a result, the family has lost some of the influence they have had in the Brotherhood as a whole. Although, they continue with their family dealings as if nothing had ever changed and their influence on the Brotherhood Planetary Systems, they have confidence, will once again rise to its full potential.

==History==

=== Childhood ===

Koskian had a rough, to say the least, up bringing. The last of twelve children, born to a poor family in the lower quarters of Pandath. His birth families name was 'Prefect', though nobody knew what that really meant. Scrapping by on what little food his father could bring home, by the time Koskian was seven he was a wiry, short boy. Taking to the streets at an early age, he learned to scavenge with his two older brothers, Adeoc and Laso. Finding what they could in dumpsters, or unattended, Koskian didn't really know the meaning of theft till much later, they would fix what they could, salvage what they couldn't, and sell it. Eventually the three moved up to simply breaking into homes in the nearby middle class neighborhoods, Koskian being the smallest of the trio he would perform the infiltration and open the doors for his brothers.

He never knew how, but on no less then three occasions Koskian knew for certain that they had tripped a silent alarm. His brothers dismissed it the first time, thinking their little brother was simply scared, until the law enforcement officials showed up demanding to know whom there parents were. After that his brothers took his word on it when he had a 'strange feeling' about something. They dodged the police on many occasions in this manner, and made a decent amount of money to augment their father's work. His parents never condoned these actions, but being as poor as the family was, they never outright forbade them either.

On a particularly bad night, Koskian had just turned twelve years of age, he watched his eldest brother Adeoc get shot in the chest three times by one of the shady traders they dealt with. Laso ran to find help, leaving the youngest of the Prefect children behind to deal with the trader. Koskian felt a rage boil up in him that had never been unleashed, hate and anger at the poverty that he and his family lived in, and he directed this at the so-called merchant. Waking up a hour later with Laso standing above him, he was told the merchant was dead, apparently of some kind of brain aneurysm, and that Adeoc was being moved to a med center.

Relived that his brother would live, he wondered what had happened when he unleashed his anger and pain.

=== Teen Years ===

While his childhood had been a rough enough environment, teenage life in the poverty stricken lower quarters of Pandath was possibly worse. Still short for his age, the Prefect child wouldn't experience his growth spurt till almost 18 years of age, he was ridiculed and targeted by others. His eldest brother Adeoc having found a steady job, and Laso gaining admittance to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Academy Imperial Academy], Koskian was left alone. No longer a part of a 'crew' to protect him, the 14 year old Koskian focused on day to day survival, hoping to make it to 18 so as to join the Academy as well.

In a moment of distraction while attempting a pick pocket, the young thief was caught by officials, who promptly brought him before the courts. This not being the first time he found himself there, the judge demanded he be put in remedial schooling, and probation of sorts. Disliking this immensely, Koskian spent the next few months on a closed campus in lower Pandath, where his height and light build were often the subject of jokes and amusement. In this time, Koskian became acquainted with brawling, getting into many fights with larger opponents. Every time that he lost, he learned something, and eventually it wasn't the smaller boy losing, so much as the bigger ones hurting themselves.

Gaining something of a reputation as a fighter, less and less bullies came after him, and some even began trying to make friends with the runt teen. Knowing that behavior would get him out of the mandated school quicker then anything else, he took on those who came to him and had them fight for him in a sense, rarely raising a hand where he 'felt' they would be caught. And he was right every time. His feelings from childhood never betrayed him he realized, and he wondered what this uncanny sense of luck was.

Growing stronger, and gaining street cred after completing his term at the school, Koskian set off into the world. At the age of 16, he hadn't seen his parents in several years, not since he had been placed in the school, and he had no intention of going back 'home'. Gaining ruffians and thieves, the young Prefect began setting up a gang. Using what skills they offered, they carved out a territory of protected businesses, safe houses, and drug fronts. With thieves roaming the houses of the middle class neighborhoods that he and his brothers had robbed as children, Koskian began to make quite a bit of money from tributes alone. Drugs were a good source of income he found out at that time, as was getting protection money from local businesses.

As with any gathering of thieves and lowlifes, somebody was always ready to sell out. Koskian's sixth sense, as he referred to it now, could tell who was planning on betraying him. The sensation grew the closer it came to occurring, and suddenly the police would find a would be informant at their meeting sights very dead. It was in this time that Koskian developed the quirk of using sporks as tools of destruction, after killing a soldier of his gang with one outside of a diner at night, no other weapons available to him he had taken utensils from the diner itself.

The police types found many in this state, plastic sporks shoved deep through their jugular or comparative organs and such. No law enforcement ever tracked down the crime ring to Koskian himself, and this frustrated them. No one is certain when it happened, but Koskian took on the alias 'Psyko' during this time, as his own sanity slowly eroded the more suspicious he became, killing his lieutenants when he simply suspected them of betrayal.

=== Discovery and Ascendancy ===

At about 17 years of age, Koskian, who was simply Psyko anymore, was wanted for a string of murders throughout the middle and upper quarters of Pandath, as he cut a swath through those he thought were the cause of his impoverished state. Most of his rational thought was simply gone at this point, and no one knew how he reached some of his targets, not even himself. His sixth sense was sharper then ever, showing him to passages he could never have squeezed through, yet somehow he pushed his body to do so. It's believed the first time he did this it resulted in intense pain, and eroded the thin walls he had around his sane mind, with no way to explain the how or why.

Nearing the winter months, Koskian felt...something was coming, and felt that it would be at the Pandath starport. Traveling there, he encountered a kindred spirit, at least in the feelings of anger and hate, in the form of then Jedi Hunter, Priyum Patel. Koskian could not understand the connection at the time, and Patel nearly killed him when he walked down an ally, fully aware of Psyko following him. After fighting the younger, insane man to the ground, the first time Psyko had lost a fight in years, the Force flowed between them, pulling some of Koskian's sanity back from the abyss. With coherent thoughts for the first time in two years, Priyum was able to explain many things.

Thus did Psyko learn of his sensitivity to the Force, and felt a burning will to learn more of this power. Helping Priyum complete his own mission, tracking down an agent of the Rebellion and getting information from him in a most grisly manner, he accompanied him back to the Emperor's Hammer space. Joining the Dark Brotherhood, and passing the tests that were set before him, he was sent to [[Clan Arcona]], Priyum's own Clan. Joining [[House Qel-Droma]], he met his Consul, the great Nighthawk, and his Quaestor Gavron Elliad. Both of these men had huge impacts on the young Obelisk's growth in the Dark Side.

Upon orders from on high that Houses would follow Order, he was moved to Galeres, where he finally found a true home. No more stuffy Krath, he found his Master, Tuojas D'Eraii, and his trainer in the way of blades, ShadowXX here. Eventually Koskian took over the House, taking on an Apprentice in future Brother Gavin Dahl, before leaving for a sabbatical of sorts.

=== Power and the Rediscovery ===

Koskian returned some years later, actually being Koskian now, having found some form of peace after assuring that his brother Laso had survived after the fall of the Empire. Spending time with both his brothers in Taanab, he was able to access bank accounts he had begun while running his gang, and departed most of the money to his brothers. Taking a sizable chunk of this for himself, he bought his own ship as well. The Class 720 Freighter [[Galerian Fire]] became his personal ship at this time, and returned him to the Coronada system in the Eos sector to find the Brotherhood in turmoil.

Returning to find his own Clan in shamble, Koskian did what he could to pick up the pieces, taking over as Quaestor of Galeres once more and waving a flag of unified Arcona. Having come back during the time of grievances against the Emperor's Hammer and its leader Ronin, Koskian didn't have to take long to choose sides. Quickly choosing to follow the lead of then Grandmaster [[Firefox]], formerly of Arcona, Koskian threw in his support for the secession.

The Exodus came swiftly, the fleets of the Tie Corps hounding the Clans out of the safety of the Coronada system. After some travels and losses, Arcona found its way through the Maw, and Koskian got to set his gaze on what would be his first real home in years. The [[Dajorra System]] welcomed them with open arms, no sentient beings advanced enough to fight off the settling of the powerful Dark Jedi. In the years that followed, Koskian took more sabbaticals, before returning to finally take his place among the Arconae and as a leader of the Clan. He then became the Quaestor of Galeres once more, his fourth tenure in his career, and focused on making the beating heart of Arcona become even stronger.

Sometime after this, he was appointed Proconsul of the Clan, and due to a misfortune befalling his [[Consul]] during conflict with a rival Clan, was forced to lead in war time.

===A New Path===

Shortly after leading the Clan to victory over [[Scholae Palatinae]] in a war over young members trying to curry favor through sabotage, Koskian began looking around his old home. He did not care for what he saw, as the attitude of the Clan continued to build more and more towards arrogance and blind hatred for the other Clans. Watching his Clan turn more and more towards the ways of their former task masters within the [[Emperor's Hammer]], Koskian resigned his position upon Consul Stratego's return to duty, and left for a sabbatical.

Returning shortly after the end of the [[Rite of Supremacy]], Koskian made a surprising move, after being contacted by the very people he had helped defeat. Those of Scholae Palatine bore him no apparent grudge, at least on the surface, and Koskian is naturally aware he is not trusted there yet. Joining with former enemies on the behest of some he has come to admire, even during the time of war, Koskian has found new strength in this, his new home.

Koskian assisted the military forces of Scholae Palatine during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coctyus. Serving his new Clan faithfully throughout the war led to him being made head of the forces that were to reclaim the world of Caina, and the first new Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. After retaking the planet, Koskian was forced to take another sabbatical, but has recently returned to assist the House once more.

===Warring with the Past===

Not long after returning from his sabbatical, Scholae Palatine was called to war in aid of Plagueis, a Clan of lesser value but a possible ally. With the fleet dispatched, Koskian was called to a service he hadn't dealt with in many years, that of the military. Rank dictated command, and his experience was seen as valuable, and was given the command of the [[4th Strike Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|4th Strike Regiment]]. Accompanying this was the rank of Lieutenant General.

Despite this appointment and awards of nobility from the reclamation of Cainia, Koskian still wonders if his clan mates truly trust him. The stress of war has begun to crack what some would call a precarious psyche, and Koskian has begun to have more and more visions of the future, a talent in the Force that he has long avoided due to his own previous madness. Dementia has not set in yet, but the Lieutenant General is certain that it is coming, and hopes to stave it off until the war is over.

==Odd Weapons, for a Jedi==

Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many [[Elder]]s of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were: 
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge. 
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip. 
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear.
[[Image:kosk.gif|thumb|right|Koskian and his sporks]]
His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent.

Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.

==History==

=== Childhood ===

Koskian had a rough, to say the least, up bringing. The last of twelve children, born to a poor family in the lower quarters of Pandath. His birth families name was 'Prefect', though nobody knew what that really meant. Scrapping by on what little food his father could bring home, by the time Koskian was seven he was a wiry, short boy. Taking to the streets at an early age, he learned to scavenge with his two older brothers, Adeoc and Laso. Finding what they could in dumpsters, or unattended, Koskian didn't really know the meaning of theft till much later, they would fix what they could, salvage what they couldn't, and sell it. Eventually the three moved up to simply breaking into homes in the nearby middle class neighborhoods, Koskian being the smallest of the trio he would perform the infiltration and open the doors for his brothers.

He never knew how, but on no less then three occasions Koskian knew for certain that they had tripped a silent alarm. His brothers dismissed it the first time, thinking their little brother was simply scared, until the law enforcement officials showed up demanding to know whom there parents were. After that his brothers took his word on it when he had a 'strange feeling' about something. They dodged the police on many occasions in this manner, and made a decent amount of money to augment their father's work. His parents never condoned these actions, but being as poor as the family was, they never outright forbade them either.

On a particularly bad night, Koskian had just turned twelve years of age, he watched his eldest brother Adeoc get shot in the chest three times by one of the shady traders they dealt with. Laso ran to find help, leaving the youngest of the Prefect children behind to deal with the trader. Koskian felt a rage boil up in him that had never been unleashed, hate and anger at the poverty that he and his family lived in, and he directed this at the so-called merchant. Waking up a hour later with Laso standing above him, he was told the merchant was dead, apparently of some kind of brain aneurysm, and that Adeoc was being moved to a med center.

Relived that his brother would live, he wondered what had happened when he unleashed his anger and pain.

=== Teen Years ===

While his childhood had been a rough enough environment, teenage life in the poverty stricken lower quarters of Pandath was possibly worse. Still short for his age, the Prefect child wouldn't experience his growth spurt till almost 18 years of age, he was ridiculed and targeted by others. His eldest brother Adeoc having found a steady job, and Laso gaining admittance to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Academy Imperial Academy], Koskian was left alone. No longer a part of a 'crew' to protect him, the 14 year old Koskian focused on day to day survival, hoping to make it to 18 so as to join the Academy as well.

In a moment of distraction while attempting a pick pocket, the young thief was caught by officials, who promptly brought him before the courts. This not being the first time he found himself there, the judge demanded he be put in remedial schooling, and probation of sorts. Disliking this immensely, Koskian spent the next few months on a closed campus in lower Pandath, where his height and light build were often the subject of jokes and amusement. In this time, Koskian became acquainted with brawling, getting into many fights with larger opponents. Every time that he lost, he learned something, and eventually it wasn't the smaller boy losing, so much as the bigger ones hurting themselves.

Gaining something of a reputation as a fighter, less and less bullies came after him, and some even began trying to make friends with the runt teen. Knowing that behavior would get him out of the mandated school quicker then anything else, he took on those who came to him and had them fight for him in a sense, rarely raising a hand where he 'felt' they would be caught. And he was right every time. His feelings from childhood never betrayed him he realized, and he wondered what this uncanny sense of luck was.

Growing stronger, and gaining street cred after completing his term at the school, Koskian set off into the world. At the age of 16, he hadn't seen his parents in several years, not since he had been placed in the school, and he had no intention of going back 'home'.

==Coroanda Station==

==The Breakdown==

Coronada Station, named for Arcona's ancestral home in the Eos system, is a testament to the independence and determination of the d'Tana family's operations. The Station is a fully functioning space port and market, located in deep space in the Charros IV system. Housing an open air market, luxury hotels and dining establishments, the station is used as an effective front and operations center. Used as either a checkpoint through the stars for traders, or as a growing spot for entertainment with the most likely illegal fight arena within the lower levels, side by side with what are arguably black market merchants, Coronada station has quickly gained a reputation among the less reputable folk of the galaxy.

Laying outside Republic space, Coronada station is not held by it's stringent laws, and Republic presence tends to be low. Part of this is due to how discouraged it is for their operatives to be made welcome, the first group of Republic agents exposed on board were promptly tossed out an air-lock and their vessel pressed into service as a patrol craft. As theres anywhere from one to nearly a dozen Dark Jedi aboard the station at any given time, it's been very difficult for the Republic to find out anything about the station. The d'Tana family's Jedi ties have been well buried from the general public, the members of the family appearing as very shrewd business men instead.

The Tana Consortium, while appearing independent, holds no illusions as to where they're overall loyalties lie. Coronada station, while outside of Brotherhood space, is ultimately a Brotherhood ran facility. All members of the d'Tana Family are aware of one ultimate fact on Coronada station, that ties to the Brotherhood can not be exposed. As such, regular security forces are enlisted to patrol and keep the peace. Scrutinizing background checks are made at the space dock facilities before any warm, or cold body enters the station proper. As of yet, no incidents have occurred to suggest that the true status of Coronada Station has been compromised.

OOC Note: This has NOT been approved by the powers at large, and isn't expected to. The d'Tana family holds no issue with anyone using it for fictional purposes, but don't be surprised if your work is criticized.

==Appearance==

Coronada Station is, for the most part a large sphere, with an engorged equator. Spires extend from the polar 'north' and 'south', extending from blisters atop and below the spherical surfaces. Aside from the two blisters, the station consists of three primary levels. The upper level has a sub level as well, which will be explained further down.

==Spires==

The spires protruding from the upper and lower levels are covered in high powered sensor arrays, able to monitor the majority of the Charros IV system. At the base of each spire, just above the Command blisters are secondary deflector shield generators that cover the command blisters should the primary shields fail.

==Command Blisters==

The Command blisters, located at the polar extremes of the Station, are able to independently control the upper and lower hemispheres of the facility. Either control center can take complete control of the station should it be required, though this requires either special access codes or the shutdown of one of the command blisters. Generally speaking the access codes are held by the Consortium Lord, Barons, and Head of Security, as well as the Station Commander.

The control centers have total control of station systems, including but not limited to: life support, artificial gravity, weapon and shields.

==Top Level, Primary==

The Primary upper level consists of various lodging facilities, some ran by station personnel, some by private firms that have rented out space. Dining facilities, ranging from spacer grease spooners to upscale restaurants for the wealthier clients of the Consortium. Various entertainment facilities, from the cheap and quick to the expensive and refined also occupy this level. Below is the hangar level, and directly above is the upper sub-level, or Family quarters.

==Top Level, Secondary==

The Secondary upper level is secure access only. Family facilities and housing are located on this level, and except for invited or privileged personnel, the only people with entry are d'Tana Family members.

Things concerning this area will be expanded over time as Family members add their own touches.

==Hangar Level==

Filling out the engorged equator of the station, is the space dock facilities. Split into several areas, including a public hangar bay, private and family controlled bays. In the center, ringing the central superstructure of the station, is an open air market. Surrounding this are security checkpoints at the entry point of each of the three hangar bays. The open air market is simply that, multiple vendor stalls that are rented out for a small monthly fee. This allows an area for open, legitimate trade of general supplies.

==Lower Level==

The lower level is divided into three primary areas. The first and most notable, is the Arena area, consisting of training and lodging facilities, as well as a large battle arena. This stadium like structure is a large open area, surrounded by seating areas for spectators and bettors. The open area, being the battle field for various styles of fights, is surrounded by force fields to prevent harm to the crowd. It has been tested up to the point of concussion missiles without breaching, so unless sabotage, the crowds are perfectly safe. The arena is frequented by all goers that land on Coronada, with special box seats and such for high rollers.

Maintenance makes up about a third of the area, with a security checkpoint leading into it. Any of the primary systems for the Station are located in this area. The final area, which is quite possibly the busiest portion of the entire Coronada Station. Considered the 'closed' market, most of the trade in this area is NOT legitimate like the open markets on the hangar level. If you want just about anything considered 'illicit' or blatantly illegal, theres a good chance you can find it here.

==Defenses==

The Station is well defended, with heavy turbolasers flanking the hangar port entries, standard turbolasers and laser turrets ringing the upper and lower regions. Shield generators are based around the equator, with auxiliaries placed on the hull of both upper and lower regions. Shield generators are military class, and are estimated to be able to stand up to a full bombardment from a Destroyer class for up to twenty minutes before failing.

== Who We Are ==
The d'Tana family used to be a predominantly Arconan family, with ties to both great Houses of Arcona. Although, they have recently endeavored to spread themselves out over the Brotherhood systems in order to re-establish their presence. Founded by Voranyen d'Tana, he brought in several of those who were his Brothers in the Force: Alex and Koskian, and Gavin Dahl. Some years later Selene and [[Malidir]] (he defected to the [[Erinos]] family) were both brought into the family, recognizing their value and spirit of guidance that they were providing the Clan they were in at the time. Lucius joined the family after coming back from some time away from [[Clan Arcona]]. Recently added to the Family are [[Rho]], who has recently been appointed [[Quaestor]] of [[House Galeres]] of Arcona under the leadership of Mejas Doto, [[Etah]], who has held a number of different positions within Arcona and has proven to be a great leader and [[Orv Dessrx|Orv]] who has also been a leader as the Aedile of House Qel-Droma of Clan Arcona has proven a great asset to making Arcona into a bigger and better place to serve the Brotherhood. The d'Tana's have since then been able to bring in other notable Brotherhood members into the family: [[Phoenix Olkyssagh Palpatine|Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine]] who happens to be the Consul of Clan Scholae Palatinae and has great influence in his position, [[Debric|Debric d'Tana]] who has proven to be a great asset to the family, Adien Corsair d'Tana, whom the rest of the family has more than enough confidence that he will add to the family influence. Their 10th member, [[Talos Shadowblood d'Tana]], was most recently added and shows much promise to rise and to being very powerful among his clan. Furthermore, Talos was just recently selected to serve as [[Aedile]] of [[House Galeres]]. His joining was not taken lightly by the family... some were even skeptical, but most are confident in his skills and ability to bring honour to the family. 
--------------------------------------------
The d'Tana Family has been a driving force within especially Arcona since it's inception, if not on the actual Summit at times. They have been able to bring forth their quiet influence from the Shadows, offering wisdom to the leaders of the Clan. Often it seems that those who are distrusted by this family and it's fellows have not remained in power or their respective Clans for long.

== What We Do ==
Over the last several years, and since [[Clan Arcona]] settled in the Dajorra system, the d'Tana family has seen fit to expand the Clan's power base in any manner they could; legally or otherwise. Mostly the latter is true. With the discovery of a type of spice on Eldar: Garconian, the d'Tana Family spear headed the initiative of getting mining bases and a trade routes to nearby Hutt space established. The Tana route has been a lucrative form of income for [[House Galeres]], and helped fund many projects for [[Clan Arcona]] as a whole.

Smuggling has been in the hearts of the Family for several years as well. More often than not, the personal craft of a d'Tana coming back to Eldar would show signs of battle. Never have they lost cargo, nor a ship, and the heat of fighting off the 'good guys' of law enforcement is an intense draw and they see it as a challenge.

In more recent times, with Selene going Missing in Action in Tarentum territory (Pre-Alliance), [[Lucius]] leaving Arcona for another clan, and recently having a leadership change under the new Arconan Consul, Mejas Doto, a few others have been shifted out of their leadership positions. As a result, the family has lost some of the influence they have had in the Brotherhood as a whole. Although, they continue with their family dealings as if nothing had ever changed and their influence on the Brotherhood Planetary Systems, they have confidence, will once again rise to its full potential.

==The Family Recruiting Policy==

A potential d'Tana is told simply to "dress up" or "get dressed." He or she is taken to a private place and seated at a long table, right next to the lord. Other d'Tana Mafia members who are present will join in and recite oaths and promises of loyalty. The inductee must then hold a burning piece of paper as a simple of burning away all other things that . In the d'Tana family, the new member is paired with a more experienced Mafia member who will act as his guide to lead him into Mafia life. The inductee must Vow that he will be a member of the family for life, and then a drop of blood is drawn from his trigger finger. The prospective member must also show a penchant for making money or at the very least a willingness to commit acts of violence when ordered to. Usually, the new d'Tana must pass a test before he will be considered for full induction, and this test is commonly rumored to be some sort of participation in an act of deception or violence.

===The Process===

* For a new member to join the family there must be a personal invitation issued to the one who is being considered.

* The one being considered can not be below the rank of DJK.

* A Request from an individual to join the family will automatically be denizzled; no questions asked.

* Along ''with'' the recommendation from a family member, the one being considered must have passed in a short 'application' letter stating what they are going to bring to the family.

* There must be a vote held after the recommendation has been made - and the ultimate result is determined by the family consensus.

* There must be a degree of personal friendship and interaction between the majority of the current members and the one being considered.

* There must be a waiting period of at least eight (8) weeks from the time the invitation was accepted and the person being considered takes the d'Tana name to give a chance for the current members who might not know this 'recruit' to get to know them better before the next step.

* After the person being considered has taken on the family name, there must be another 4 weeks trial period to make sure the person who joined is going to stick around and contribute to the life of the family. If they do not, they will be removed, no questions asked.

* All requirements are subject to change.

==History==

=== Childhood ===

Koskian had a rough, to say the least, up bringing. The last of twelve children, born to a poor family in the lower quarters of Pandath. His birth families name was 'Prefect', though nobody knew what that really meant. Scrapping by on what little food his father could bring home, by the time Koskian was seven he was a wiry, short boy. Taking to the streets at an early age, he learned to scavenge with his two older brothers, Adeoc and Laso. Finding what they could in dumpsters, or unattended, Koskian didn't really know the meaning of theft till much later, they would fix what they could, salvage what they couldn't, and sell it. Eventually the three moved up to simply breaking into homes in the nearby middle class neighborhoods, Koskian being the smallest of the trio he would perform the infiltration and open the doors for his brothers.

He never knew how, but on no less then three occasions Koskian knew for certain that they had tripped a silent alarm. His brothers dismissed it the first time, thinking their little brother was simply scared, until the law enforcement officials showed up demanding to know whom there parents were. After that his brothers took his word on it when he had a 'strange feeling' about something. They dodged the police on many occasions in this manner, and made a decent amount of money to augment their father's work. His parents never condoned these actions, but being as poor as the family was, they never outright forbade them either.

On a particularly bad night, Koskian had just turned twelve years of age, he watched his eldest brother Adeoc get shot in the chest three times by one of the shady traders they dealt with. Laso ran to find help, leaving the youngest of the Prefect children behind to deal with the trader. Koskian felt a rage boil up in him that had never been unleashed, hate and anger at the poverty that he and his family lived in, and he directed this at the so-called merchant. Waking up a hour later with Laso standing above him, he was told the merchant was dead, apparently of some kind of brain aneurysm, and that Adeoc was being moved to a med center.

Relived that his brother would live, he wondered what had happened when he unleashed his anger and pain.

=== Teen Years ===

While his childhood had been a rough enough environment, teenage life in the poverty stricken lower quarters of Pandath was possibly worse. Still short for his age, the Prefect child wouldn't experience his growth spurt till almost 18 years of age, he was ridiculed and targeted by others. His eldest brother Adeoc having found a steady job, and Laso gaining admittance to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Academy Imperial Academy], Koskian was left alone. No longer a part of a 'crew' to protect him, the 14 year old Koskian focused on day to day survival, hoping to make it to 18 so as to join the Academy as well.

In a moment of distraction while attempting a pick pocket, the young thief was caught by officials, who promptly brought him before the courts. This not being the first time he found himself there, the judge demanded he be put in remedial schooling, and probation of sorts. Disliking this immensely, Koskian spent the next few months on a closed campus in lower Pandath, where his height and light build were often the subject of jokes and amusement. In this time, Koskian became acquainted with brawling, getting into many fights with larger opponents. Every time that he lost, he learned something, and eventually it wasn't the smaller boy losing, so much as the bigger ones hurting themselves.

Gaining something of a reputation as a fighter, less and less bullies came after him, and some even began trying to make friends with the runt teen. Knowing that behavior would get him out of the mandated school quicker then anything else, he took on those who came to him and had them fight for him in a sense, rarely raising a hand where he 'felt' they would be caught. And he was right every time. His feelings from childhood never betrayed him he realized, and he wondered what this uncanny sense of luck was.

Growing stronger, and gaining street cred after completing his term at the school, Koskian set off into the world. At the age of 16, he hadn't seen his parents in several years, not since he had been placed in the school, and he had no intention of going back 'home'. Gaining ruffians and thieves, the young Prefect began setting up a gang. Using what skills they offered, they carved out a territory of protected businesses, safe houses, and drug fronts. With thieves roaming the houses of the middle class neighborhoods that he and his brothers had robbed as children, Koskian began to make quite a bit of money from tributes alone. Drugs were a good source of income he found out at that time, as was getting protection money from local businesses.

As with any gathering of thieves and lowlifes, somebody was always ready to sell out. Koskian's sixth sense, as he referred to it now, could tell who was planning on betraying him. The sensation grew the closer it came to occurring, and suddenly the police would find a would be informant at their meeting sights very dead. It was in this time that Koskian developed the quirk of using sporks as tools of destruction, after killing a soldier of his gang with one outside of a diner at night, no other weapons available to him he had taken utensils from the diner itself.

The police types found many in this state, plastic sporks shoved deep through their jugular or comparative organs and such. No law enforcement ever tracked down the crime ring to Koskian himself, and this frustrated them. No one is certain when it happened, but Koskian took on the alias 'Psyko' during this time, as his own sanity slowly eroded the more suspicious he became, killing his lieutenants when he simply suspected them of betrayal.

=== Discovery and Ascendancy ===

At about 17 years of age, Koskian, who was simply Psyko anymore, was wanted for a string of murders throughout the middle and upper quarters of Pandath, as he cut a swath through those he thought were the cause of his impoverished state. Most of his rational thought was simply gone at this point, and no one knew how he reached some of his targets, not even himself. His sixth sense was sharper then ever, showing him to passages he could never have squeezed through, yet somehow he pushed his body to do so. It's believed the first time he did this it resulted in intense pain, and eroded the thin walls he had around his sane mind, with no way to explain the how or why.

Nearing the winter months, Koskian felt...something was coming, and felt that it would be at the Pandath starport. Traveling there, he encountered a kindred spirit, at least in the feelings of anger and hate, in the form of then Jedi Hunter, Priyum Patel. Koskian could not understand the connection at the time, and Patel nearly killed him when he walked down an ally, fully aware of Psyko following him. After fighting the younger, insane man to the ground, the first time Psyko had lost a fight in years, the Force flowed between them, pulling some of Koskian's sanity back from the abyss. With coherent thoughts for the first time in two years, Priyum was able to explain many things.

Thus did Psyko learn of his sensitivity to the Force, and felt a burning will to learn more of this power. Helping Priyum complete his own mission, tracking down an agent of the Rebellion and getting information from him in a most grisly manner, he accompanied him back to the Emperor's Hammer space. Joining the Dark Brotherhood, and passing the tests that were set before him, he was sent to [[Clan Arcona]], Priyum's own Clan. Joining [[House Qel-Droma]], he met his Consul, the great Nighthawk, and his Quaestor Gavron Elliad. Both of these men had huge impacts on the young Obelisk's growth in the Dark Side.

Upon orders from on high that Houses would follow Order, he was moved to Galeres, where he finally found a true home. No more stuffy Krath, he found his Master, Tuojas D'Eraii, and his trainer in the way of blades, ShadowXX here. Eventually Koskian took over the House, taking on an Apprentice in future Brother Gavin Dahl, before leaving for a sabbatical of sorts.

=== Power and the Rediscovery ===

Koskian returned some years later, actually being Koskian now, having found some form of peace after assuring that his brother Laso had survived after the fall of the Empire. Spending time with both his brothers in Taanab, he was able to access bank accounts he had begun while running his gang, and departed most of the money to his brothers. Taking a sizable chunk of this for himself, he bought his own ship as well. The Class 720 Freighter [[Galerian Fire]] became his personal ship at this time, and returned him to the Coronada system in the Eos sector to find the Brotherhood in turmoil.

Returning to find his own Clan in shamble, Koskian did what he could to pick up the pieces, taking over as Quaestor of Galeres once more and waving a flag of unified Arcona. Having come back during the time of grievances against the Emperor's Hammer and it's leader Ronin, Koskian didn't have to take long to choose sides. Quickly choosing to follow the lead of then Grandmaster [[Firefox]], formerly of Arcona, Koskian threw in his support for the secession.

The Exodus came swiftly, the fleets of the Tie Corps hounding the Clans out of the safety of the Coronada system. After some travels and losses, Arcona found it's way through the Maw, and Koskian got to set his gaze on what would be his first real home in years. The [[Dajorra System]] welcomed them with open arms, no sentient beings advanced enough to fight off the settling of the powerful Dark Jedi. In the years that followed, Koskian took more sabbaticals, before returning to finally take his place among the Arconae and as a leader of the Clan. He recently became the Quaestor of Galeres once more, his fourth tenure in his career, and focused on making the beating heart of Arcona become even stronger.

Sometime after this, he was appointed Proconsul of the Clan, and due to a misfortune befalling his [[Consul]] during conflict with a rival Clan, was forced to lead in war time.

===A New Path===

Shortly after leading the Clan to victory over [[Scholae Palatinae]] in a war over young members trying to curry favor through sabotage, Koskian began looking around his old home. He did not care for what he saw, as the attitude of the Clan continued to build more and more towards arrogance and blind hatred for the other Clans. Watching his Clan turn more and more towards the ways of their former task masters within the [[Emperor's Hammer]], Koskian resigned his position upon Consul Stratego's return to duty, and left for a sabbatical.

Returning shortly after the end of the [[Rite of Supremacy]], Koskian made a surprising move, after being contacted by the very people he had helped defeat. Those of Scholae Palatine bore him no apparent grudge, at least on the surface, and Koskian is naturally aware he is not trusted there yet. Joining with former enemies on the behest of some he has come to admire, even during the time of war, Koskian has found new strength in this, his new home.

Koskian assisted the military forces of Scholae Palatine during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coctyus. Serving his new Clan faithfully throughout the war led to him being made head of the forces that were to reclaim the world of Caina, and the first new Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. After retaking the planet, Koskian was forced to take another sabbatical, but has recently returned to assist the House once more.

===Warring with the Past===

Not long after returning from his sabbatical, Scholae Palatine was called to war in aid of Plagueis, a Clan of lesser value but a possible ally. With the fleet dispatched, Koskian was called to a service he hadn't dealt with in many years, that of the military. Rank dictated command, and his experience was seen as valuable, and was given the command of the [[4th Strike Regiment]]. Accompanying this was the rank of Lieutenant General.

Despite this appointment and awards of nobility from the reclamation of Cainia, Koskian still wonders if his clan mates truly trust him. The stress of war has begun to crack what some would call a precarious psyche, and Koskian has begun to have more and more visions of the future, a talent in the Force that he has long avoided due to his own previous madness. Dementia has not set in yet, but the Lieutenant General is certain that it is coming, and hopes to stave it off until the war is over.

=== Odd Weapons, for a Jedi ===

Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many [[Elder]]s of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were: 
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge. 
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip. 
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear.
[[Image:kosk.gif|thumb|right|Koskian and his sporks]]
His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent.

Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.

=== Childhood ===

Koskian had a rough, to say the least, up bringing. The last of twelve children, born to a poor family in the lower quarters of Pandath. His birth families name was 'Prefect', though nobody knew what that really meant. Scrapping by on what little food his father could bring home, by the time Koskian was seven he was a wiry, short boy. Taking to the streets at an early age, he learned to scavenge with his two older brothers, Adeoc and Laso. Finding what they could in dumpsters, or unattended, Koskian didn't really know the meaning of theft till much later, they would fix what they could, salvage what they couldn't, and sell it. Eventually the three moved up to simply breaking into homes in the nearby middle class neighborhoods, Koskian being the smallest of the trio he would perform the infiltration and open the doors for his brothers.

He never knew how, but on no less then three occasions Koskian knew for certain that they had tripped a silent alarm. His brothers dismissed it the first time, thinking their little brother was simply scared, until the law enforcement officials showed up demanding to know whom there parents were. After that his brothers took his word on it when he had a 'strange feeling' about something. They dodged the police on many occasions in this manner, and made a decent amount of money to augment their father's work. His parents never condoned these actions, but being as poor as the family was, they never outright forbade them either.

On a particularly bad night, Koskian had just turned twelve years of age, he watched his eldest brother Adeoc get shot in the chest three times by one of the shady traders they dealt with. Laso ran to find help, leaving the youngest of the Prefect children behind to deal with the trader. Koskian felt a rage boil up in him that had never been unleashed, hate and anger at the poverty that he and his family lived in, and he directed this at the so-called merchant. Waking up a hour later with Laso standing above him, he was told the merchant was dead, apparently of some kind of brain aneurysm, and that Adeoc was being moved to a med center.

Relived that his brother would live, he wondered what had happened when he unleashed his anger and pain.

=== Teen Years ===

While his childhood had been a rough enough environment, teenage life in the poverty stricken lower quarters of Pandath was possibly worse. Still short for his age, the Prefect child wouldn't experience his growth spurt till almost 18 years of age, he was ridiculed and targeted by others. His eldest brother Adeoc having found a steady job, and Laso gaining admittance to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Academy Imperial Academy], Koskian was left alone. No longer a part of a 'crew' to protect him, the 14 year old Koskian focused on day to day survival, hoping to make it to 18 so as to join the Academy as well.

In a moment of distraction while attempting a pick pocket, the young thief was caught by officials, who promptly brought him before the courts. This not being the first time he found himself there, the judge demanded he be put in remedial schooling, and probation of sorts. Disliking this immensely, Koskian spent the next few months on a closed campus in lower Pandath, where his height and light build were often the subject of jokes and amusement. In this time, Koskian became acquainted with brawling, getting into many fights with larger opponents. Every time that he lost, he learned something, and eventually it wasn't the smaller boy losing, so much as the bigger ones hurting themselves.

Gaining something of a reputation as a fighter, less and less bullies came after him, and some even began trying to make friends with the runt teen. Knowing that behavior would get him out of the mandated school quicker then anything else, he took on those who came to him and had them fight for him in a sense, rarely raising a hand where he 'felt' they would be caught. And he was right every time. His feelings from childhood never betrayed him he realized, and he wondered what this uncanny sense of luck was.

Growing stronger, and gaining street cred after completing his term at the school, Koskian set off into the world. At the age of 16, he hadn't seen his parents in several years, not since he had been placed in the school, and he had no intention of going back 'home'. Gaining ruffians and thieves, the young Prefect began setting up a gang. Using what skills they offered, they carved out a territory of protected businesses, safe houses, and drug fronts. With thieves roaming the houses of the middle class neighborhoods that he and his brothers had robbed as children, Koskian began to make quite a bit of money from tributes alone. Drugs were a good source of income he found out at that time, as was getting protection money from local businesses.

As with any gathering of thieves and lowlifes, somebody was always ready to sell out. Koskian's sixth sense, as he referred to it now, could tell who was planning on betraying him. The sensation grew the closer it came to occurring, and suddenly the police would find a would be informant at their meeting sights very dead. It was in this time that Koskian developed the quirk of using sporks as tools of destruction, after killing a soldier of his gang with one outside of a diner at night, no other weapons available to him he had taken utensils from the diner itself.

The police types found many in this state, plastic sporks shoved deep through their jugular or comparative organs and such. No law enforcement ever tracked down the crime ring to Koskian himself, and this frustrated them. No one is certain when it happened, but Koskian took on the alias 'Psyko' during this time, as his own sanity slowly eroded the more suspicious he became, killing his lieutenants when he simply suspected them of betrayal.

=== Discovery and Ascendancy ===

At about 17 years of age, Koskian, who was simply Psyko anymore, was wanted for a string of murders throughout the middle and upper quarters of Pandath, as he cut a swath through those he thought were the cause of his impoverished state. Most of his rational thought was simply gone at this point, and no one knew how he reached some of his targets, not even himself. His sixth sense was sharper then ever, showing him to passages he could never have squeezed through, yet somehow he pushed his body to do so. It's believed the first time he did this it resulted in intense pain, and eroded the thin walls he had around his sane mind, with no way to explain the how or why.

Nearing the winter months, Koskian felt...something was coming, and felt that it would be at the Pandath starport. Traveling there, he encountered a kindred spirit, at least in the feelings of anger and hate, in the form of then Jedi Hunter, Priyum Patel. Koskian could not understand the connection at the time, and Patel nearly killed him when he walked down an ally, fully aware of Psyko following him. After fighting the younger, insane man to the ground, the first time Psyko had lost a fight in years, the Force flowed between them, pulling some of Koskian's sanity back from the abyss. With coherent thoughts for the first time in two years, Priyum was able to explain many things.

Thus did Psyko learn of his sensitivity to the Force, and felt a burning will to learn more of this power. Helping Priyum complete his own mission, tracking down an agent of the Rebellion and getting information from him in a most grisly manner, he accompanied him back to the Emperor's Hammer space. Joining the Dark Brotherhood, and passing the tests that were set before him, he was sent to [[Clan Arcona]], Priyum's own Clan. Joining [[House Qel-Droma]], he met his Consul, the great Nighthawk, and his Quaestor Gavron Elliad. Both of these men had huge impacts on the young Obelisk's growth in the Dark Side.

Upon orders from on high that Houses would follow Order, he was moved to Galeres, where he finally found a true home. No more stuffy Krath, he found his Master, Tuojas D'Eraii, and his trainer in the way of blades, ShadowXX here. Eventually Koskian took over the House, taking on an Apprentice in future Brother Gavin Dahl, before leaving for a sabbatical of sorts.

=== Power and the Rediscovery ===

Koskian returned some years later, actually being Koskian now, having found some form of peace after assuring that his brother Laso had survived after the fall of the Empire. Spending time with both his brothers in Taanab, he was able to access bank accounts he had begun while running his gang, and departed most of the money to his brothers. Taking a sizable chunk of this for himself, he bought his own ship as well. The Class 720 Freighter [[Galerian Fire]] became his personal ship at this time, and returned him to the Coronada system in the Eos sector to find the Brotherhood in turmoil.

Returning to find his own Clan in shamble, Koskian did what he could to pick up the pieces, taking over as Quaestor of Galeres once more and waving a flag of unified Arcona. Having come back during the time of grievances against the Emperor's Hammer and it's leader Ronin, Koskian didn't have to take long to choose sides. Quickly choosing to follow the lead of then Grandmaster [[Firefox]], formerly of Arcona, Koskian threw in his support for the secession.

The Exodus came swiftly, the fleets of the Tie Corps hounding the Clans out of the safety of the Coronada system. After some travels and losses, Arcona found it's way through the Maw, and Koskian got to set his gaze on what would be his first real home in years. The [[Dajorra System]] welcomed them with open arms, no sentient beings advanced enough to fight off the settling of the powerful Dark Jedi. In the years that followed, Koskian took more sabbaticals, before returning to finally take his place among the Arconae and as a leader of the Clan. He recently became the Quaestor of Galeres once more, his fourth tenure in his career, and focused on making the beating heart of Arcona become even stronger.

Sometime after this, he was appointed Proconsul of the Clan, and due to a misfortune befalling his [[Consul]] during conflict with a rival Clan, was forced to lead in war time.

===A New Path===

Shortly after leading the Clan to victory over [[Scholae Palatinae]] in a war over young members trying to curry favor through sabotage, Koskian began looking around his old home. He did not care for what he saw, as the attitude of the Clan continued to build more and more towards arrogance and blind hatred for the other Clans. Watching his Clan turn more and more towards the ways of their former task masters within the [[Emperor's Hammer]], Koskian resigned his position upon Consul Stratego's return to duty, and left for a sabbatical.

Returning shortly after the end of the [[Rite of Supremacy]], Koskian made a surprising move, after being contacted by the very people he had helped defeat. Those of Scholae Palatine bore him no apparent grudge, at least on the surface, and Koskian is naturally aware he is not trusted there yet. Joining with former enemies on the behest of some he has come to admire, even during the time of war, Koskian has found new strength in this, his new home.

Koskian assisted the military forces of Scholae Palatine during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coctyus. Serving his new Clan faithfully throughout the war led to him being made head of the forces that were to reclaim the world of Caina, and the first new Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. After retaking the planet, Koskian was forced to take another sabbatical, but has recently returned to assist the House once more.

===Warring with the Past===

Not long after returning from his sabbatical, Scholae Palatine was called to war in aid of Plagueis, a Clan of lesser value but a possible ally. With the fleet dispatched, Koskian was called to a service he hadn't dealt with in many years, that of the military. Rank dictated command, and his experience was seen as valuable, and was given the command of the [[4th Expeditionary Strike Regiment]]. Accompanying this was the rank of Lieutenant General.

Despite this appointment and awards of nobility from the reclamation of Cainia, Koskian still wonders if his clan mates truly trust him. The stress of war has begun to crack what some would call a precarious psyche, and Koskian has begun to have more and more visions of the future, a talent in the Force that he has long avoided due to his own previous madness. Dementia has not set in yet, but the Lieutenant General is certain that it is coming, and hopes to stave it off until the war is over.

=== Odd Weapons, for a Jedi ===

Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many [[Elder]]s of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were: 
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge. 
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip. 
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear.
[[Image:kosk.gif|thumb|right|Koskian and his sporks]]
His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent.

Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.

==History==

=== Childhood ===

Koskian had a rough, to say the least, up bringing. The last of twelve children, born to a poor family in the lower quarters of Pandath. His birth families name was 'Prefect', though nobody knew what that really meant. Scrapping by on what little food his father could bring home, by the time Koskian was seven he was a wiry, short boy. Taking to the streets at an early age, he learned to scavenge with his two older brothers, Adeoc and Laso. Finding what they could in dumpsters, or unattended, Koskian didn't really know the meaning of theft till much later, they would fix what they could, salvage what they couldn't, and sell it. Eventually the three moved up to simply breaking into homes in the nearby middle class neighborhoods, Koskian being the smallest of the trio he would perform the infiltration and open the doors for his brothers.

He never knew how, but on no less then three occasions Koskian knew for certain that they had tripped a silent alarm. His brothers dismissed it the first time, thinking their little brother was simply scared, until the law enforcement officials showed up demanding to know whom there parents were. After that his brothers took his word on it when he had a 'strange feeling' about something. They dodged the police on many occasions in this manner, and made a decent amount of money to augment their father's work. His parents never condoned these actions, but being as poor as the family was, they never outright forbade them either.

On a particularly bad night, Koskian had just turned twelve years of age, he watched his eldest brother Adeoc get shot in the chest three times by one of the shady traders they dealt with. Laso ran to find help, leaving the youngest of the Prefect children behind to deal with the trader. Koskian felt a rage boil up in him that had never been unleashed, hate and anger at the poverty that he and his family lived in, and he directed this at the so-called merchant. Waking up a hour later with Laso standing above him, he was told the merchant was dead, apparently of some kind of brain aneurysm, and that Adeoc was being moved to a med center.

Relived that his brother would live, he wondered what had happened when he unleashed his anger and pain.

=== Teen Years ===

While his childhood had been a rough enough environment, teenage life in the poverty stricken lower quarters of Pandath was possibly worse. Still short for his age, the Prefect child wouldn't experience his growth spurt till almost 18 years of age, he was ridiculed and targeted by others. His eldest brother Adeoc having found a steady job, and Laso gaining admittance to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Academy Imperial Academy], Koskian was left alone. No longer a part of a 'crew' to protect him, the 14 year old Koskian focused on day to day survival, hoping to make it to 18 so as to join the Academy as well.

In a moment of distraction while attempting a pick pocket, the young thief was caught by officials, who promptly brought him before the courts. This not being the first time he found himself there, the judge demanded he be put in remedial schooling, and probation of sorts. Disliking this immensely, Koskian spent the next few months on a closed campus in lower Pandath, where his height and light build were often the subject of jokes and amusement. In this time, Koskian became acquainted with brawling, getting into many fights with larger opponents. Every time that he lost, he learned something, and eventually it wasn't the smaller boy losing, so much as the bigger ones hurting themselves.

Gaining something of a reputation as a fighter, less and less bullies came after him, and some even began trying to make friends with the runt teen. Knowing that behavior would get him out of the mandated school quicker then anything else, he took on those who came to him and had them fight for him in a sense, rarely raising a hand where he 'felt' they would be caught. And he was right every time. His feelings from childhood never betrayed him he realized, and he wondered what this uncanny sense of luck was.

Growing stronger, and gaining street cred after completing his term at the school, Koskian set off into the world. At the age of 16, he hadn't seen his parents in several years, not since he had been placed in the school, and he had no intention of going back 'home'. Gaining ruffians and thieves, the young Prefect began setting up a gang. Using what skills they offered, they carved out a territory of protected businesses, safe houses, and drug fronts. With thieves roaming the houses of the middle class neighborhoods that he and his brothers had robbed as children, Koskian began to make quite a bit of money from tributes alone. Drugs were a good source of income he found out at that time, as was getting protection money from local businesses.

As with any gathering of thieves and lowlifes, somebody was always ready to sell out. Koskian's sixth sense, as he referred to it now, could tell who was planning on betraying him. The sensation grew the closer it came to occurring, and suddenly the police would find a would be informant at their meeting sights very dead. It was in this time that Koskian developed the quirk of using sporks as tools of destruction, after killing a soldier of his gang with one outside of a diner at night, no other weapons available to him he had taken utensils from the diner itself.

The police types found many in this state, plastic sporks shoved deep through their jugular or comparative organs and such. No law enforcement ever tracked down the crime ring to Koskian himself, and this frustrated them. No one is certain when it happened, but Koskian took on the alias 'Psyko' during this time, as his own sanity slowly eroded the more suspicious he became, killing his lieutenants when he simply suspected them of betrayal.

=== Discovery and Ascendancy ===

At about 17 years of age, Koskian, who was simply Psyko anymore, was wanted for a string of murders throughout the middle and upper quarters of Pandath, as he cut a swath through those he thought were the cause of his impoverished state. Most of his rational thought was simply gone at this point, and no one knew how he reached some of his targets, not even himself. His sixth sense was sharper then ever, showing him to passages he could never have squeezed through, yet somehow he pushed his body to do so. It's believed the first time he did this it resulted in intense pain, and eroded the thin walls he had around his sane mind, with no way to explain the how or why.

Nearing the winter months, Koskian felt...something was coming, and felt that it would be at the Pandath starport. Traveling there, he encountered a kindred spirit, at least in the feelings of anger and hate, in the form of then Jedi Hunter, Priyum Patel. Koskian could not understand the connection at the time, and Patel nearly killed him when he walked down an ally, fully aware of Psyko following him. After fighting the younger, insane man to the ground, the first time Psyko had lost a fight in years, the Force flowed between them, pulling some of Koskian's sanity back from the abyss. With coherent thoughts for the first time in two years, Priyum was able to explain many things.

Thus did Psyko learn of his sensitivity to the Force, and felt a burning will to learn more of this power. Helping Priyum complete his own mission, tracking down an agent of the Rebellion and getting information from him in a most grisly manner, he accompanied him back to the Emperor's Hammer space. Joining the Dark Brotherhood, and passing the tests that were set before him, he was sent to [[Clan Arcona]], Priyum's own Clan. Joining [[House Qel-Droma]], he met his Consul, the great Nighthawk, and his Quaestor Gavron Elliad. Both of these men had huge impacts on the young Obelisk's growth in the Dark Side.

Upon orders from on high that Houses would follow Order, he was moved to Galeres, where he finally found a true home. No more stuffy Krath, he found his Master, Tuojas D'Eraii, and his trainer in the way of blades, ShadowXX here. Eventually Koskian took over the House, taking on an Apprentice in future Brother Gavin Dahl, before leaving for a sabbatical of sorts.

=== Power and the Rediscovery ===

Koskian returned some years later, actually being Koskian now, having found some form of peace after assuring that his brother Laso had survived after the fall of the Empire. Spending time with both his brothers in Taanab, he was able to access bank accounts he had begun while running his gang, and departed most of the money to his brothers. Taking a sizable chunk of this for himself, he bought his own ship as well. The Class 720 Freighter [[Galerian Fire]] became his personal ship at this time, and returned him to the Coronada system in the Eos sector to find the Brotherhood in turmoil.

Returning to find his own Clan in shamble, Koskian did what he could to pick up the pieces, taking over as Quaestor of Galeres once more and waving a flag of unified Arcona. Having come back during the time of grievances against the Emperor's Hammer and it's leader Ronin, Koskian didn't have to take long to choose sides. Quickly choosing to follow the lead of then Grandmaster [[Firefox]], formerly of Arcona, Koskian threw in his support for the secession.

The Exodus came swiftly, the fleets of the Tie Corps hounding the Clans out of the safety of the Coronada system. After some travels and losses, Arcona found it's way through the Maw, and Koskian got to set his gaze on what would be his first real home in years. The [[Dajorra System]] welcomed them with open arms, no sentient beings advanced enough to fight off the settling of the powerful Dark Jedi. In the years that followed, Koskian took more sabbaticals, before returning to finally take his place among the Arconae and as a leader of the Clan. He recently became the Quaestor of Galeres once more, his fourth tenure in his career, and focused on making the beating heart of Arcona become even stronger.

Sometime after this, he was appointed Proconsul of the Clan, and due to a misfortune befalling his [[Consul]] during conflict with a rival Clan, was forced to lead in war time.

===A New Path===

Shortly after leading the Clan to victory over [[Scholae Palatinae]] in a war over young members trying to curry favor through sabotage, Koskian began looking around his old home. He did not care for what he saw, as the attitude of the Clan continued to build more and more towards arrogance and blind hatred for the other Clans. Watching his Clan turn more and more towards the ways of their former task masters within the [[Emperor's Hammer]], Koskian resigned his position upon Consul Stratego's return to duty, and left for a sabbatical.

Returning shortly after the end of the [[Rite of Supremacy]], Koskian made a surprising move, after being contacted by the very people he had helped defeat. Those of Scholae Palatine bore him no apparent grudge, at least on the surface, and Koskian is naturally aware he is not trusted there yet. Joining with former enemies on the behest of some he has come to admire, even during the time of war, Koskian has found new strength in this, his new home.

Koskian assisted the military forces of Scholae Palatine during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coctyus. Serving his new Clan faithfully throughout the war led to him being made head of the forces that were to reclaim the world of Caina, and the first new Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. After retaking the planet, Koskian was forced to take another sabbatical, but has recently returned to assist the House once more.

=== Odd Weapons, for a Jedi ===

Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many [[Elder]]s of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were: 
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge. 
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip. 
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear.
[[Image:kosk.gif|thumb|right|Koskian and his sporks]]
His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent.

In recent battle, Koskian lost his right hand to a lightsaber, much to his own personal dismay having never been maimed before. He has replaced it with a durasteel prostehtic hand, capable of stopping bladed weapons in mid swing with barely a scratch. The hand is also adorned with half inch spikes on the kunckles, and is controlled with micro circuits that allow free movement.

Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.

==History==

=== Childhood ===

Koskian had a rough, to say the least, up bringing. The last of twelve children, born to a poor family in the lower quarters of Pandath. His birth families name was 'Prefect', though nobody knew what that really meant. Scrapping by on what little food his father could bring home, by the time Koskian was seven he was a wiry, short boy. Taking to the streets at an early age, he learned to scavenge with his two older brothers, Adeoc and Laso. Finding what they could in dumpsters, or unattended, Koskian didn't really know the meaning of theft till much later, they would fix what they could, salvage what they couldn't, and sell it. Eventually the three moved up to simply breaking into homes in the nearby middle class neighborhoods, Koskian being the smallest of the trio he would perform the infiltration and open the doors for his brothers.

He never knew how, but on no less then three occasions Koskian knew for certain that they had tripped a silent alarm. His brothers dismissed it the first time, thinking their little brother was simply scared, until the law enforcement officials showed up demanding to know whom there parents were. After that his brothers took his word on it when he had a 'strange feeling' about something. They dodged the police on many occasions in this manner, and made a decent amount of money to augment their father's work. His parents never condoned these actions, but being as poor as the family was, they never outright forbade them either.

On a particularly bad night, Koskian had just turned twelve years of age, he watched his eldest brother Adeoc get shot in the chest three times by one of the shady traders they dealt with. Laso ran to find help, leaving the youngest of the Prefect children behind to deal with the trader. Koskian felt a rage boil up in him that had never been unleashed, hate and anger at the poverty that he and his family lived in, and he directed this at the so-called merchant. Waking up a hour later with Laso standing above him, he was told the merchant was dead, apparently of some kind of brain aneurysm, and that Adeoc was being moved to a med center.

Relived that his brother would live, he wondered what had happened when he unleashed his anger and pain.

=== Teen Years ===

While his childhood had been a rough enough environment, teenage life in the poverty stricken lower quarters of Pandath was possibly worse. Still short for his age, the Prefect child wouldn't experience his growth spurt till almost 18 years of age, he was ridiculed and targeted by others. His eldest brother Adeoc having found a steady job, and Laso gaining admittance to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Academy Imperial Academy], Koskian was left alone. No longer a part of a 'crew' to protect him, the 14 year old Koskian focused on day to day survival, hoping to make it to 18 so as to join the Academy as well.

In a moment of distraction while attempting a pick pocket, the young thief was caught by officials, who promptly brought him before the courts. This not being the first time he found himself there, the judge demanded he be put in remedial schooling, and probation of sorts. Disliking this immensely, Koskian spent the next few months on a closed campus in lower Pandath, where his height and light build were often the subject of jokes and amusement. In this time, Koskian became acquainted with brawling, getting into many fights with larger opponents. Every time that he lost, he learned something, and eventually it wasn't the smaller boy losing, so much as the bigger ones hurting themselves.

Gaining something of a reputation as a fighter, less and less bullies came after him, and some even began trying to make friends with the runt teen. Knowing that behavior would get him out of the mandated school quicker then anything else, he took on those who came to him and had them fight for him in a sense, rarely raising a hand where he 'felt' they would be caught. And he was right every time. His feelings from childhood never betrayed him he realized, and he wondered what this uncanny sense of luck was.

Growing stronger, and gaining street cred after completing his term at the school, Koskian set off into the world. At the age of 16, he hadn't seen his parents in several years, not since he had been placed in the school, and he had no intention of going back 'home'. Gaining ruffians and thieves, the young Prefect began setting up a gang. Using what skills they offered, they carved out a territory of protected businesses, safe houses, and drug fronts. With thieves roaming the houses of the middle class neighborhoods that he and his brothers had robbed as children, Koskian began to make quite a bit of money from tributes alone. Drugs were a good source of income he found out at that time, as was getting protection money from local businesses.

As with any gathering of thieves and lowlifes, somebody was always ready to sell out. Koskian's sixth sense, as he referred to it now, could tell who was planning on betraying him. The sensation grew the closer it came to occurring, and suddenly the police would find a would be informant at their meeting sights very dead. It was in this time that Koskian developed the quirk of using sporks as tools of destruction, after killing a soldier of his gang with one outside of a diner at night, no other weapons available to him he had taken utensils from the diner itself.

The police types found many in this state, plastic sporks shoved deep through their jugular or comparative organs and such. No law enforcement ever tracked down the crime ring to Koskian himself, and this frustrated them. No one is certain when it happened, but Koskian took on the alias 'Psyko' during this time, as his own sanity slowly eroded the more suspicious he became, killing his lieutenants when he simply suspected them of betrayal.

Most of his rational thought was simply gone at this point, and no one knew how he reached some of his targets, not even himself. His sixth sense was sharper then ever, showing him to passages he could never have squeezed through, yet somehow he pushed his body to do so. It's believed the first time he did this it resulted in intense pain, and eroded the thin walls he had around his sane mind, with no way to explain the how or why.

Nearing the winter months, Koskian felt...something was coming, and felt that it would be at the Pandath starport. Traveling there, he encountered a kindred spirit, at least in the feelings of anger and hate, in the form of then Jedi Hunter, Priyum Patel. Koskian could not understand the connection at the time, and Patel nearly killed him when he walked down an ally, fully aware of Psyko following him. After fighting the younger, insane man to the ground, the first time Psyko had lost a fight in years, the Force flowed between them, pulling some of Koskian's sanity back from the abyss.

No one is certain when it happened, but Koskian took on the alias 'Psyko' during this time, as his own sanity slowly eroded the more suspicious he became, killing his lieutenants when he simply suspected them of betrayal.

=== Discovery and Ascendancy ===

At about 17 years of age, Koskian, who was simply Psyko anymore, was wanted for a string of murders throughout the middle and upper quarters of Pandath, as he cut a swath through those he thought were the cause of his impoverished state. Most of his rational thought was simply gone at this point, and no one knew how he reached some of his targets, not even himself. His sixth sense was sharper then ever, showing him to passages he could never have squeezed through, yet somehow he pushed his body to do so. It's believed the first time he did this it resulted in intense pain, and eroded the thin walls he had around his sane mind, with no way to explain the how or why.

Nearing the winter months, Koskian felt...something was coming, and felt that it would be at the Pandath starport. Traveling there, he encountered a kindred spirit, at least in the feelings of anger and hate, in the form of then Jedi Hunter, Priyum Patel. Koskian could not understand the connection at the time, and Patel nearly killed him when he walked down an ally, fully aware of Psyko following him. After fighting the younger, insane man to the ground, the first time Psyko had lost a fight in years, the Force flowed between them, pulling some of Koskian's sanity back from the abyss. With coherent thoughts for the first time in two years, Priyum was able to explain many things.

Thus did Psyko learn of his sensitivity to the Force, and felt a burning will to learn more of this power. Helping Priyum complete his own mission, tracking down an agent of the Rebellion and getting information from him in a most grisly manner, he accompanied him back to the Emperor's Hammer space. Joining the Dark Brotherhood, and passing the tests that were set before him, he was sent to [[Clan Arcona]], Priyum's own Clan. Joining [[House Qel-Droma]], he met his Consul, the great Nighthawk, and his Quaestor Gavron Elliad. Both of these men had huge impacts on the young Obelisk's growth in the Dark Side.

Upon orders from on high that Houses would follow Order, he was moved to Galeres, where he finally found a true home. No more stuffy Krath, he found his Master, Tuojas D'Eraii, and his trainer in the way of blades, ShadowXX here. Eventually Koskian took over the House, taking on an Apprentice in future Brother Gavin Dahl, before leaving for a sabbatical of sorts.

=== Power and the Rediscovery ===

Koskian returned some years later, actually being Koskian now, having found some form of peace after assuring that his brother Laso had survived after the fall of the Empire. Spending time with both his brothers in Taanab, he was able to access bank accounts he had begun while running his gang, and departed most of the money to his brothers. Taking a sizable chunk of this for himself, he bought his own ship as well. The Class 720 Freighter [[Galerian Fire]] became his personal ship at this time, and returned him to the Coronada system in the Eos sector to find the Brotherhood in turmoil.

Returning to find his own Clan in shamble, Koskian did what he could to pick up the pieces, taking over as Quaestor of Galeres once more and waving a flag of unified Arcona. Having come back during the time of grievances against the Emperor's Hammer and it's leader Ronin, Koskian didn't have to take long to choose sides. Quickly choosing to follow the lead of then Grandmaster [[Firefox]], formerly of Arcona, Koskian threw in his support for the secession.

The Exodus came swiftly, the fleets of the Tie Corps hounding the Clans out of the safety of the Coronada system. After some travels and losses, Arcona found it's way through the Maw, and Koskian got to set his gaze on what would be his first real home in years. The [[Dajorra System]] welcomed them with open arms, no sentient beings advanced enough to fight off the settling of the powerful Dark Jedi. In the years that followed, Koskian took more sabbaticals, before returning to finally take his place among the Arconae and as a leader of the Clan. He recently became the Quaestor of Galeres once more, his fourth tenure in his career, and focused on making the beating heart of Arcona become even stronger.

Sometime after this, he was appointed Proconsul of the Clan, and due to a misfortune befalling his [[Consul]] during conflict with a rival Clan, was forced to lead in war time.

===A New Path===

Shortly after leading the Clan to victory over [[Scholae Palatinae]] in a war over young members trying to curry favor through sabotage, Koskian began looking around his old home. He did not care for what he saw, as the attitude of the Clan continued to build more and more towards arrogance and blind hatred for the other Clans. Watching his Clan turn more and more towards the ways of their former task masters within the [[Emperor's Hammer]], Koskian resigned his position upon Consul Stratego's return to duty, and left for a sabbatical.

Returning shortly after the end of the [[Rite of Supremacy]], Koskian made a surprising move, after being contacted by the very people he had helped defeat. Those of Scholae Palatine bore him no apparent grudge, at least on the surface, and Koskian is naturally aware he is not trusted there yet. Joining with former enemies on the behest of some he has come to admire, even during the time of war, Koskian has found new strength in this, his new home.

Koskian assisted the military forces of Scholae Palatine during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coctyus. Serving his new Clan faithfully throughout the war led to him being made head of the forces that were to reclaim the world of Caina, and the first new Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. After retaking the planet, Koskian was forced to take another sabbatical, but has recently returned to assist the House once more.

=== Odd Weapons, for a Jedi ===

Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many [[Elder]]s of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were: 
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge. 
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip. 
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear.
[[Image:kosk.gif|thumb|right|Koskian and his sporks]]
His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent.

In recent battle, Koskian lost his right hand to a lightsaber, much to his own personal dismay having never been maimed before. He has replaced it with a durasteel prostehtic hand, capable of stopping bladed weapons in mid swing with barely a scratch. The hand is also adorned with half inch spikes on the kunckles, and is controlled with micro circuits that allow free movement.

Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.

==Coroanda Station==

==The Breakdown==

Coronada Station, named for Arcona's ancestral home in the Eos system, is a testament to the independence and determination of the d'Tana family's operations. The Station is a fully functioning space port and market, located in deep space in the Charros IV system. Housing an open air market, luxury hotels and dining establishments, the station is used as an effective front and operations center. Used as either a checkpoint through the stars for traders, or as a growing spot for entertainment with the most likely illegal fight arena within the lower levels, side by side with what are arguably black market merchants, Coronada station has quickly gained a reputation among the less reputable folk of the galaxy.

Laying outside Republic space, Coronada station is not held by it's stringent laws, and Republic presence tends to be low. Part of this is due to how discouraged it is for their operatives to be made welcome, the first group of Republic agents exposed on board were promptly tossed out an air-lock and their vessel pressed into service as a patrol craft. As theres anywhere from one to nearly a dozen Dark Jedi aboard the station at any given time, it's been very difficult for the Republic to find out anything about the station. The d'Tana family's Jedi ties have been well buried from the general public, the members of the family appearing as very shrewd business men instead.

The Tana Consortium, while appearing independent, holds no illusions as to where they're overall loyalties lie. Coronada station, while outside of Brotherhood space, is ultimately a Brotherhood ran facility. All members of the d'Tana Family are aware of one ultimate fact on Coronada station, that ties to the Brotherhood can not be exposed. As such, regular security forces are enlisted to patrol and keep the peace. Scrutinizing background checks are made at the space dock facilities before any warm, or cold body enters the station proper. As of yet, no incidents have occurred to suggest that the true status of Coronada Station has been compromised.

==Appearance==

Coronada Station is, for the most part a large sphere, with an engorged equator. Spires extend from the polar 'north' and 'south', extending from blisters atop and below the spherical surfaces. Aside from the two blisters, the station consists of three primary levels. The upper level has a sub level as well, which will be explained further down.

==Spires==

The spires protruding from the upper and lower levels are covered in high powered sensor arrays, able to monitor the majority of the Charros IV system. At the base of each spire, just above the Command blisters are secondary deflector shield generators that cover the command blisters should the primary shields fail.

==Command Blisters==

The Command blisters, located at the polar extremes of the Station, are able to independently control the upper and lower hemispheres of the facility. Either control center can take complete control of the station should it be required, though this requires either special access codes or the shutdown of one of the command blisters. Generally speaking the access codes are held by the Consortium Lord, Barons, and Head of Security, as well as the Station Commander.

The control centers have total control of station systems, including but not limited to: life support, artificial gravity, weapon and shields.

==Top Level, Primary==

The Primary upper level consists of various lodging facilities, some ran by station personnel, some by private firms that have rented out space. Dining facilities, ranging from spacer grease spooners to upscale restaurants for the wealthier clients of the Consortium. Various entertainment facilities, from the cheap and quick to the expensive and refined also occupy this level. Below is the hangar level, and directly above is the upper sub-level, or Family quarters.

==Top Level, Secondary==

The Secondary upper level is secure access only. Family facilities and housing are located on this level, and except for invited or privileged personnel, the only people with entry are d'Tana Family members.

Things concerning this area will be expanded over time as Family members add their own touches.

==Hangar Level==

Filling out the engorged equator of the station, is the space dock facilities. Split into several areas, including a public hangar bay, private and family controlled bays. In the center, ringing the central superstructure of the station, is an open air market. Surrounding this are security checkpoints at the entry point of each of the three hangar bays. The open air market is simply that, multiple vendor stalls that are rented out for a small monthly fee. This allows an area for open, legitimate trade of general supplies.

==Lower Level==

The lower level is divided into three primary areas. The first and most notable, is the Arena area, consisting of training and lodging facilities, as well as a large battle arena. This stadium like structure is a large open area, surrounded by seating areas for spectators and bettors. The open area, being the battle field for various styles of fights, is surrounded by force fields to prevent harm to the crowd. It has been tested up to the point of concussion missiles without breaching, so unless sabotage, the crowds are perfectly safe. The arena is frequented by all goers that land on Coronada, with special box seats and such for high rollers.

Maintenance makes up about a third of the area, with a security checkpoint leading into it. Any of the primary systems for the Station are located in this area. The final area, which is quite possibly the busiest portion of the entire Coronada Station. Considered the 'closed' market, most of the trade in this area is NOT legitimate like the open markets on the hangar level. If you want just about anything considered 'illicit' or blatantly illegal, theres a good chance you can find it here.

==Defenses==

The Station is well defended, with heavy turbolasers flanking the hangar port entries, standard turbolasers and laser turrets ringing the upper and lower regions. Shield generators are based around the equator, with auxiliaries placed on the hull of both upper and lower regions. Shield generators are military class, and are estimated to be able to stand up to a full bombardment from a Destroyer class for up to twenty minutes before failing.

History of Koskian

== Childhood ==

Koskian had a rough, to say the least, up bringing. The last of twelve children, born to a poor family in the lower quarters of Pandath. His birth families name was 'Prefect', though nobody knew what that really meant. Scrapping by on what little food his father could bring home, by the time Koskian was seven he was a wiry, short boy. Taking to the streets at an early age, he learned to scavenge with his two older brothers, Adeoc and Laso. Finding what they could in dumpsters, or unattended, Koskian didn't really KNOW the meaning of theft till much later, they would fix what they could, salvage what they couldn't, and sell it. Eventually the three moved up to simply breaking into homes in the nearby middle class neighborhoods, Koskian being the smallest of the trio he would perform the infiltration and open the doors for his brothers.

He never knew how, but on no less then three occasions Koskian knew for certain that they had tripped a silent alarm. His brothers dismissed it the first time, thinking their little brother was simply scared, until the law enforcement officials showed up demanding to know whom there parents were. After that his brothers took his word on it when he had a 'strange feeling' about something. They dodged the police on many occasions in this manner, and made a decent amount of money to augment their father's work. His parents never condoned these actions, but being as poor as the family was, they never outright forbade them either.

On a particularly bad night, Koskian had just turned 12 years of age, he watched his eldest brother Adeoc get shot in the chest three times by one of the shady traders they dealt with. Laso ran to find help, leaving the youngest of the Prefect children behind to deal with the trader. Koskian felt a rage boil up in him that had never been unleashed, hate and anger at the poverty that he and his family lived in, and he directed this at the so-called merchant. Waking up a hour later with Laso standing above him, he was told the merchant was dead, apparently of some kind of brain aneurysm, and that Adeoc was being moved to a med center.

Relived that his brother would live, he wondered what had happened when he unleashed his anger and pain.

== Teen Years ==

While his childhood had been a rough enough environment, teenage life in the poverty stricken lower quarters of Pandath was possibly worse. Still short for his age, the Prefect child wouldn't experience his growth spurt till almost 18 years of age, he was ridiculed and targeted by others. His eldest brother Adeoc having found a steady job, and Laso gaining admittance to the Imperial Academy, Koskian was left alone. No longer a part of a 'crew' to protect him, the 14 year old Koskian focused on day to day survival, hoping to make it to 18 so as to join the Academy as well.

In a moment of distraction while attempting a pick pocket, the young thief was caught by officials, who promptly brought him before the courts. This not being the first time he found himself there, the judge demanded he be put in remedial schooling, and probation of sorts. Disliking this immensely, Koskian spent the next few months on a closed campus in lower Pandath, where his height and light build were often the subject of jokes and amusement. In this time, Koskian became acquainted with brawling, getting into many fights with larger opponents. Every time that he lost, he learned something, and eventually it wasn't the smaller boy losing, so much as the bigger ones hurting themselves.

Gaining something of a reputation as a fighter, less and less bullies came after him, and some even began trying to make friends with the runt teen. Knowing that behavior would get him out of the mandated school quicker then anything else, he took on those who came to him and had them fight for him in a sense, rarely raising a hand where he 'felt' they would be caught. And he was right every time. His feelings from childhood never betrayed him he realized, and he wondered what this uncanny sense of luck was.

Growing stronger, and gaining street cred after completing his term at the school, Koskian set off into the world. At the age of 16, he hadn't seen his parents in several years, not since he had been placed in the school, and he had no intention of going back 'home'. Gaining ruffians and thieves, the young Prefect began setting up a gang. Using what skills they offered, they carved out a territory of protected businesses, safe houses, and drug fronts. With thieves roaming the houses of the middle class neighborhoods that he and his brothers had robbed as children, Koskian began to make quite a bit of money from tributes alone. Drugs were a good source of income he found out at that time, as was getting protection money from local businesses.

As with any gathering of thieves and lowlifes, somebody was always ready to sell out. Koskian's sixth sense, as he referred to it now, could tell who was planning on betraying him. The sensation grew the closer it came to occurring, and suddenly the police would find a would be informant at their meeting sights very dead. It was in this time that Koskian developed the quirk of using sporks as tools of destruction, after killing a soldier of his gang with one outside of a diner at night, no other weapons available to him he had taken utensils from the diner itself.

The police types found many in this state, plastic sporks shoved deep through their jugular or comparative organs and such. No law enforcement ever tracked down the crime ring to Koskian himself, and this frustrated them. No one is certain when it happened, but Koskian took on the alias 'Psyko' during this time, as his own sanity slowly eroded the more suspicious he became, killing his lieutenants when he simply suspected them of betrayal.

== Discovery and Ascendancy ==

At about 17 years of age, Koskian, who was simply Psyko anymore, was wanted for a string of murders throughout the middle and upper quarters of Pandath, as he cut a swath through those he thought were the cause of his impoverished state. Most of his rational thought was simply gone at this point, and no one knew how he reached some of his targets, not even himself. His sixth sense was sharper then ever, showing him to passages he could never have squeezed through, yet somehow he pushed his body to do so. It's believed the first time he did this it resulted in intense pain, and eroded the thin walls he had around his sane mind, with no way to explain the how or why.

Nearing the winter months, Koskian felt...something was coming, and felt that it would be at the Pandath starport. Traveling there, he encountered a kindred spirit, at least in the feelings of anger and hate, in the form of then Jedi Hunter, Priyum Patel. Koskian could not understand the connection at the time, and Patel nearly killed him when he walked down an ally, fully aware of Psyko following him. After fighting the younger, insane man to the ground, the first time Psyko had lost a fight in years, the Force flowed between them, pulling some of Koskian's sanity back from the abyss. With coherent thoughts for the first time in two years, Priyum was able to explain many things.

Thus did Psyko learn of his sensitivity to the Force, and felt a burning will to learn more of this power. Helping Priyum complete his own mission, tracking down an agent of the Rebellion and getting information from him in a most grisly manner, he accompanied him back to the Emperor's Hammer space. Joining the Dark Brotherhood, and passing the tests that were set before him, he was sent to Clan Arcona, Priyum's own Clan. Joining House Qel-Droma, he met his Consul, the great Nighthawk, and his Quaestor Gavron Elliad. Both of these men had huge impacts on the young Obelisk's growth in the Dark Side.

Upon orders from on high that Houses would follow Order, he was moved to Galeres, where he finally found a true home. No more stuffy Krath, he found his Master, Tuojas D'Eraii, and his trainer in the way of blades, ShadowXX here. Eventually Koskian took over the House, taking on an Apprentice in future Brother Gavin Dahl, before leaving for a sabbatical of sorts.

== Power and the Rediscovery ==

Koskian returned some years later, actually being Koskian now, having found some form of peace after assuring that his brother Laso had survived after the fall of the Empire. Spending time with both his brothers in Taanab, he was able to access bank accounts he had begun while running his gang, and departed most of the money to his brothers. Taking a sizable chunk of this for himself, he bought his own ship as well. The Class 720 Freighter [[Galerian Fire]] became his personal ship at this time, and returned him to the Coronada system in the Eos sector to find the Brotherhood in turmoil.

Returning to find his own Clan in shamble, Koskian did what he could to pick up the pieces, taking over as Quaestor of Galeres once more and waving a flag of unified Arcona. Having come back during the time of grievances against the Emperor's Hammer and it's leader Ronin, Koskian didn't have to take long to choose sides. Quickly choosing to follow the lead of then Grandmaster Firefox, formerly of Arcona, Koskian threw in his support for the secession.

The Exodus came swiftly, the fleets of the Tie Corps hounding the Clans out of the safety of the Coronada system. After some travels and losses, Arcona found it's way through the Maw, and Koskian got to set his gaze on what would be his first real home in years. The Dajorra system welcomed them with open arms, no sentient beings advanced enough to fight off the settling of the powerful Dark Jedi. In the years that followed, Koskian took more sabbaticals, before returning to finally take his place among the Arconae and as a leader of the Clan. He recently became the Quaestor of Galeres once more, his fourth tenure in his career, and focused on making the beating heart of Arcona become even stronger.

Sometime after this, he was appointed Pro-Consul of the Clan, and due to a misfortune befalling his Consul during conflict with a rival Clan, was forced to lead in war time.

==A New Path==
Shortly after leading the Clan to victory over Scholae Palatine in a war over young members trying to curry favor through sabotage, Koskian began looking around his old home. He did not care for what he saw, as the attitude of the Clan continued to build more and more towards arrogance and blind hatred for the other Clans. Watching his Clan turn more and more towards the ways of their former task masters within the Emperor's Hammer, Koskian resigned his position upon Consul Stratego's return to duty, and left for a sabbatical.

Returning shortly after the end of the Rites of Supremacy, Koskian made a surprising move, after being contacted by the very people he had helped defeat. Those of Scholae Palatine bore him no apparent grudge, at least on the surface, and Koskian is naturally aware he is not trusted there yet. Joining with former enemies on the behest of some he has come to admire, even during the time of war, Koskian has found new strength in this, his new home.

== Odd Weapons, for a Jedi ==
Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many Elders of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were: 
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge. 
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip. 
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear. 

[[Image:kosk.gif|thumb|right|Koskian and his sporks]]

His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent. 
 
In recent battle, Koskian lost his right hand to a lightsaber, much to his own personal dismay having never been maimed before. He has replaced it with a durasteel prostehtic hand, capable of stopping bladed weapons in mid swing with barely a scratch. The hand is also adorned with half inch spikes on the kunckles, and is controlled with micro circuits that allow free movement.

Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.

History of Koskian

== Childhood ==

Koskian had a rough, to say the least, up bringing. The last of twelve children, born to a poor family in the lower quarters of Pandath. His birth families name was 'Prefect', though nobody knew what that really meant. Scrapping by on what little food his father could bring home, by the time Koskian was seven he was a wiry, short boy. Taking to the streets at an early age, he learned to scavenge with his two older brothers, Adeoc and Laso. Finding what they could in dumpsters, or unattended, Koskian didn't really KNOW the meaning of theft till much later, they would fix what they could, salvage what they couldn't, and sell it. Eventually the three moved up to simply breaking into homes in the nearby middle class neighborhoods, Koskian being the smallest of the trio he would perform the infiltration and open the doors for his brothers.

He never knew how, but on no less then three occasions Koskian knew for certain that they had tripped a silent alarm. His brothers dismissed it the first time, thinking their little brother was simply scared, until the law enforcement officials showed up demanding to know whom there parents were. After that his brothers took his word on it when he had a 'strange feeling' about something. They dodged the police on many occasions in this manner, and made a decent amount of money to augment their father's work. His parents never condoned these actions, but being as poor as the family was, they never outright forbade them either.

On a particularly bad night, Koskian had just turned 12 years of age, he watched his eldest brother Adeoc get shot in the chest three times by one of the shady traders they dealt with. Laso ran to find help, leaving the youngest of the Prefect children behind to deal with the trader. Koskian felt a rage boil up in him that had never been unleashed, hate and anger at the poverty that he and his family lived in, and he directed this at the so-called merchant. Waking up a hour later with Laso standing above him, he was told the merchant was dead, apparently of some kind of brain aneurysm, and that Adeoc was being moved to a med center.

Relived that his brother would live, he wondered what had happened when he unleashed his anger and pain.

== Teen Years ==

While his childhood had been a rough enough environment, teenage life in the poverty stricken lower quarters of Pandath was possibly worse. Still short for his age, the Prefect child wouldn't experience his growth spurt till almost 18 years of age, he was ridiculed and targeted by others. His eldest brother Adeoc having found a steady job, and Laso gaining admittance to the Imperial Academy, Koskian was left alone. No longer a part of a 'crew' to protect him, the 14 year old Koskian focused on day to day survival, hoping to make it to 18 so as to join the Academy as well.

In a moment of distraction while attempting a pick pocket, the young thief was caught by officials, who promptly brought him before the courts. This not being the first time he found himself there, the judge demanded he be put in remedial schooling, and probation of sorts. Disliking this immensely, Koskian spent the next few months on a closed campus in lower Pandath, where his height and light build were often the subject of jokes and amusement. In this time, Koskian became acquainted with brawling, getting into many fights with larger opponents. Every time that he lost, he learned something, and eventually it wasn't the smaller boy losing, so much as the bigger ones hurting themselves.

Gaining something of a reputation as a fighter, less and less bullies came after him, and some even began trying to make friends with the runt teen. Knowing that behavior would get him out of the mandated school quicker then anything else, he took on those who came to him and had them fight for him in a sense, rarely raising a hand where he 'felt' they would be caught. And he was right every time. His feelings from childhood never betrayed him he realized, and he wondered what this uncanny sense of luck was.

Growing stronger, and gaining street cred after completing his term at the school, Koskian set off into the world. At the age of 16, he hadn't seen his parents in several years, not since he had been placed in the school, and he had no intention of going back 'home'. Gaining ruffians and thieves, the young Prefect began setting up a gang. Using what skills they offered, they carved out a territory of protected businesses, safe houses, and drug fronts. With thieves roaming the houses of the middle class neighborhoods that he and his brothers had robbed as children, Koskian began to make quite a bit of money from tributes alone. Drugs were a good source of income he found out at that time, as was getting protection money from local businesses.

As with any gathering of thieves and lowlifes, somebody was always ready to sell out. Koskian's sixth sense, as he referred to it now, could tell who was planning on betraying him. The sensation grew the closer it came to occurring, and suddenly the police would find a would be informant at their meeting sights very dead. It was in this time that Koskian developed the quirk of using sporks as tools of destruction, after killing a soldier of his gang with one outside of a diner at night, no other weapons available to him he had taken utensils from the diner itself.

The police types found many in this state, plastic sporks shoved deep through their jugular or comparative organs and such. No law enforcement ever tracked down the crime ring to Koskian himself, and this frustrated them. No one is certain when it happened, but Koskian took on the alias 'Psyko' during this time, as his own sanity slowly eroded the more suspicious he became, killing his lieutenants when he simply suspected them of betrayal.

== Discovery and Ascendancy ==

At about 17 years of age, Koskian, who was simply Psyko anymore, was wanted for a string of murders throughout the middle and upper quarters of Pandath, as he cut a swath through those he thought were the cause of his impoverished state. Most of his rational thought was simply gone at this point, and no one knew how he reached some of his targets, not even himself. His sixth sense was sharper then ever, showing him to passages he could never have squeezed through, yet somehow he pushed his body to do so. It's believed the first time he did this it resulted in intense pain, and eroded the thin walls he had around his sane mind, with no way to explain the how or why.

Nearing the winter months, Koskian felt...something was coming, and felt that it would be at the Pandath starport. Traveling there, he encountered a kindred spirit, at least in the feelings of anger and hate, in the form of then Jedi Hunter, Priyum Patel. Koskian could not understand the connection at the time, and Patel nearly killed him when he walked down an ally, fully aware of Psyko following him. After fighting the younger, insane man to the ground, the first time Psyko had lost a fight in years, the Force flowed between them, pulling some of Koskian's sanity back from the abyss. With coherent thoughts for the first time in two years, Priyum was able to explain many things.

Thus did Psyko learn of his sensitivity to the Force, and felt a burning will to learn more of this power. Helping Priyum complete his own mission, tracking down an agent of the Rebellion and getting information from him in a most grisly manner, he accompanied him back to the Emperor's Hammer space. Joining the Dark Brotherhood, and passing the tests that were set before him, he was sent to Clan Arcona, Priyum's own Clan. Joining House Qel-Droma, he met his Consul, the great Nighthawk, and his Quaestor Gavron Elliad. Both of these men had huge impacts on the young Obelisk's growth in the Dark Side.

Upon orders from on high that Houses would follow Order, he was moved to Galeres, where he finally found a true home. No more stuffy Krath, he found his Master, Tuojas D'Eraii, and his trainer in the way of blades, ShadowXX here. Eventually Koskian took over the House, taking on an Apprentice in future Brother Gavin Dahl, before leaving for a sabbatical of sorts.

== Power and the Rediscovery ==

Koskian returned some years later, actually being Koskian now, having found some form of peace after assuring that his brother Laso had survived after the fall of the Empire. Spending time with both his brothers in Taanab, he was able to access bank accounts he had begun while running his gang, and departed most of the money to his brothers. Taking a sizable chunk of this for himself, he bought his own ship as well. The Class 720 Freighter [[Galerian Fire]] became his personal ship at this time, and returned him to the Coronada system in the Eos sector to find the Brotherhood in turmoil.

Returning to find his own Clan in shamble, Koskian did what he could to pick up the pieces, taking over as Quaestor of Galeres once more and waving a flag of unified Arcona. Having come back during the time of grievances against the Emperor's Hammer and it's leader Ronin, Koskian didn't have to take long to choose sides. Quickly choosing to follow the lead of then Grandmaster Firefox, formerly of Arcona, Koskian threw in his support for the secession.

The Exodus came swiftly, the fleets of the Tie Corps hounding the Clans out of the safety of the Coronada system. After some travels and losses, Arcona found it's way through the Maw, and Koskian got to set his gaze on what would be his first real home in years. The Dajorra system welcomed them with open arms, no sentient beings advanced enough to fight off the settling of the powerful Dark Jedi. In the years that followed, Koskian took more sabbaticals, before returning to finally take his place among the Arconae and as a leader of the Clan. He recently became the Quaestor of Galeres once more, his fourth tenure in his career, and focused on making the beating heart of Arcona become even stronger.

He now holds the esteemed position of Pro Consul of Arcona, for the first time in his career. Time will show how this goes.

== Odd Weapons, for a Jedi ==
Koskian is viewed with much amusement by many Elders of the Brotherhood for his reliance on strange weapons. Primarily this is due to his creative use of plastic cutlery known as 'sporks', a spoon/fork hybrid utensil found in fast food restaurants across the galaxy as a cost reducer. Various manipulations of the Force allow Koskian to shape and mold these plastic utensils into weapons of war to be used in battle. Among his creations, some of the more notable were: 
Spword - A plastic sword, usually about three feet in length, hardened to steel like quality, and a razore edge. 
Spip - A surprisingly mallebale, six to eight foot length of plastic cable, that would be used as a whip. 
Spaltrops - One of his more devious creations, several sporks combined could make a 'spaltrop' which would have three to four inch spikes that easily penetrated most foot wear. 

[[Image:kosk.gif|thumb|right|Koskian and his sporks]]

His other happily perferred weapon is the short barrled shotgun he lovingly refers to as 'Lucy', and it has seen combat many times. While most view a weapon using solid ammunition obselete, Koskian views it more as 'creative', in that it's almost impossible to deflect a double load of buckshot pellets, compared to the number of blaster bolts most weapons fire. Among other things, he's used the weapon with solid slugs, inciderary rounds, and on one occasion blanks just to fool with an opponent.

Many attribute this eccentric trait to insanity, and Koskian has never really denied it.

== Expanding on Traditions ==

Koskian has taken an unusual turn from his usual methods as of late, taking up the pen more then then blade to help instruct the next generation of Arconans. At the time of this writing he has made no less then three seperate tomes, only one having been released to a number of others in the Clan. He has also been helping on expanding the descriptions of Arconan holdings and attempting to make the Clan's own history more enriched through various historical fiction materials.

== Teaching the Young ==

Over the years, Koskian has had many Apprentices.

D'Tana

2007-03-22T17:39:05Z

Koskdtana:

== Who We Are ==
The d'Tana is a predominantly Arconan family, with ties to all three great Houses of Arcona. Founded by Voranyen d'Tana, he brought in several of those who were his Brothers in the Force, [[Alex]] and [[Koskian]], and [[Gavin Dahl]]. Some years later [[Selene]] and [[Malidir]] of [[House Galeres]] were both brought into the family, recognizing their value and spirit of guidance that they were providing the Clan. Lucius joined the family following him coming back to [[Clan Arcona]]. Recently added to the Family are Rho and Etah, promising members of the Brotherhood

The d'Tana Family has been a driving force within Arcona since it's inception, if not on the actual Summit at times, then in the Shadows, offering wisdom to the leaders of the Clan. Often it seems that those who are distrusted by this family and it's fellows do not remain in power or the Clan for long.

== What We Do ==
Over the last several years, and since [[Clan Arcona]] settled in the Dajorra system, the d'Tana family has seen fit to expand the Clan's power base in any manner they could. Legally or otherwise. Mostly the latter. With the discovery of a type of spice on Eldar, Garconian, the d'Tana spear headed the initiative to get mining bases set up and a trade route to nearby Hutt space established. The Tana route has been a lucrative form of income for [[House Galeres]], and helped fund many projects for [[Clan Arcona]] as a whole.

Smuggling has been in the hearts of the Family for several years now as well, more often then not the personal craft of a d'Tana coming back to Eldar would show signs of battle. Never have we lost a cargo, nor a ship, and the heat of fighting off the 'good guys' of law enforcement is an intense draw to us.

In recent times, with Selene appointed [[Quaestor]] of [[House Galeres]], [[Lucius]] appointed [[Aedile]] of the same house, [[Malidir|Malidir's]] appointment of Soulfire Battleteam Leader and Galeres Envoy, and the taking up of Enovy and [[Quaestor]] of [[House Oriens Obscurum]] by [[Alex]], the d'Tana family has taken to teaching the youth of Arcona. Some outside of the Clan see this as insanity, but we feel that they are learning from some of the best minds in the Brotherhood.

''Drive out the light, that the Darkness shall be impervious.''

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

==Orders in Galeres==

===Sith===
The [[Sith]] of Galeres are a bit of a paradox. Whilst their piloting prowess and skill in sabre-combat is formidable to say the least, they seem more content to concentrate on focusing their learning on political machinations, learning how to manipulate people and twist them to their own ends and to quote Darth Traya - 'It is a far greater to make your enemy see your way rather than to crush them absolutely'. Their role within the house is simple: They provide air support, flying the various fighters during any large-scale conflict and spend the rest of the time learning the subtle art of suggestion and occasionally applying it in the many power-struggles that permeate the Brotherhood.

===Obelisk===
The [[Obelisk]] of Galeres are almost always contained within Soulfire Brigade and as such are second only to the Grand Master's Royal Guard in tactical prowess and skill with a blade. They spend the majority of their time either training as a small commando-unit or lending their services either to the clan or to the highest bidder. Formerly an elite Obelisk unit within the order, Galeres Troopers have kept up the intensive training regimen that rivals even the Guardsmen's and their skill is reflected in this with the use of not just melee weapons but there's also evidence of everyday use of more conventional weapons such as Blasters of various sizes and explosives, and even the incorporation of these with other tactics that are the norm in the Brotherhood. Galeres Obelisk are the sword of Arcona and they know it.

===Krath===
The [[Krath]] are not your traditional librarians that seem to make up the majority of the order in other clans. Galeres' Krath are fully committed to gathering knowledge through superior firepower and are the prime resource hired out to independent parties by the House for assistance with skills that include advance warning for ambushes, negotiations of black market dealings and even in some cases assassinations (though this is usually only given to Krath of the rank of Knight or above). The older Krath of Galeres have also been rumoured to have been practicing the elusive art of Battle Meditation and forming "Battle-Melds" for use in times of conflict, however this is unconfirmed.

==Base of Operations==
Brilliantly disguised as a Mining Facility, the [[House Galeres:Base|Base of Galeres]] rests inside the Mountain of Faspere. The only part of the base visible from the outside is the Mining Facility, which not only helps to hide the base but it brings in useful resources for the Clan.

==History==
Galeres was originally the Obelisk House of Arcona, and has always served as the Warrior House of the Clan. Consuls would foolishly close the House in times of low activity, and morale would plummet. Galeres has long been the sustaining heart of Arcona, and has produced many a great warrior. 
In the days before the Exodus, Galeres was housed on Coronada with the rest of the Clan, and were almost strictly Obelisk in nature. After the Exodus and the discovery of the Dajorra system, a base was quickly established on Sukhur, the harshest of the worlds. A planet of sifting glass seas and blistering heat, the base was the training facility for Galeres. In an effort to see which House was stronger, Galeres or Oriens, Consul Halcyon Rokir declared a House Feud over the planet Eldar. 
After fierce fighting, Galeres proved stronger, taking the planet as their new home base. The Galeres base, disguised as a mining operation, quickly hit paydirt with the discovery of Garconian spice, found by Voranyen and Gavin d'Tana. After some experimenting on Gavin's behalf, it was found that the spice was extremely potent on humans and near human species. Further testing showed it had effects of euphoria and bliss on the Hutt species. With the Dajorra's system location near Hutt space, it became a simple effort of learning to mine and refine the abundant spice. 
As of now, the creation of the raw spice is unknown, and it is not yet been determined if it is natural or a product of some form of animal like the glitterstim mines on Kessel.

==Economy==
House Galeres has been the main source of income for the Clan ever since moving to the Dajorra system. Upon the discovery of Garconian spice, and the tests and refining, Gavin d'Tana himself was responsible for one of the strangest deals made by any Arconan. After negotiations, several gifts and bribes, a trade agreement was made between Galeres and several Hutt cartel's for the trade of Garconian spice. 
The flagship of Galeres, the Mejas Doto, was used many times as a cargo transport for the potent spice, with the occasional fighter escort. Most pirates within the trade route used by the Galeres pilots became fearful of the Doto, as its passing meant death to any who attacked. With this the House Galeres grew wealthy, and Arcona prospered. 
Slaving and mercenary work, when the Clan isn't in conflict with another power, have also shown considerable profits. Many laborers in the spice mines of Eldar are slaves, while some actually volunteered. Often it was suggested that the locals be subjagated into working the mines, but the business minded d'Tana family has always blocked this move, knowing that despite the abilites of the Dark Jedi of Galeres, they would be outnumbered ten to one.

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

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

== History ==
The history of Arcona can best be heard through '''The Hymn of Arcona''' as written by Vassan Rokir

From time in memorium, a battle we wage 
Between Clans of Swordsmen, Pilot and Sage. 
In knowledge and blood our successes gaged. 
And victory upon victory, like a fine wine we age. 
 
First there was Nighthawk, our founder on high 
He whose vision of glory none could deny: 
"A legacy of power!" to the stars he did cry 
And born was Arcona, here her history I scry. 
 
Thus, like a child, a noble House were we; 
Noble in mind, noble in arm, noble in philosophy. 
Whence then came a tumult, within CSP, 
Our House doors were opened, host of sanctuary. 
 
Dark Jedi of Palatinae, disillusioned by conflicts internal 
Parted thus, but found life as "rogue" to edge on the infernal. 
Wise Quaestor Nighthawk, plotting a legacy eternal 
Made bastion of our lands, and unto the rogues were we paternal. 
 
New allies made we, of the Palatinae Jedi; 
So strong was their bond that they did decide: 
"Our allegiance to Scholae be damned and defied; 
True brothers have we in Arcona; our faith be undenied!" 
 
And with speed our Father House, noble and strong, 
Grew in size and power, making richer a rich history already long. 
And soon, with volume and zeal was struck the gong: 
"A House we stand, but united a Clan!" came the glorious song. 
 
But among the loyal revelers, a rotting faction brewed: 
Rogue Jedi of Scholae Palatinae, in jealousy they stewed. 
Presently, a defection back to their origins ensued, 
And Clan Scholae Palatinae was to be hollowly renewed. 
 
With tails between legs, the Scholae Jedi fled, 
But not all escaped without first being struck dead. 
Six conflicts I speak now, sure to be read; 
Noble Arcona robbed six Palatinae of their treacherous heads: 
 
Obelisk Blazer and Obelisk Morth cornered a pair. 
With a leap and a slash, Morth's saber did flare 
And cleft one in twain, as then did Blazer dare 
To slice the other's belly, a cut no thicker than a hair. 
 
To their ships ran another two, eager to escape their fate. 
Into orbit they flew, but followed by Sith hunger, needing sate. 
Shotgun and Shark, in their TIEs with the enemy did their sights mate 
And with flicks of trigger, explosive retribution did they create. 
 
And of the last two I speak, were felled by the powers of Krath. 
Sensing two that remained, Nighthawk and Voranyen released their wrath. 
Using the Force, the kind that comes from the Dark path, 
They did crush two throats, leaving six bodies, as says the math. 
 
And so the battle was done, many traitors had paid 
Their lives for their "freedom" was their futile trade. 
And through conflict's heat the stronger were we made 
That the dark flame of Arcona would never fade. 
 
So here the tale of Arcona we begin; 
Clan forged in darkness, fire, and the wages of sin. 

==di Tenebrous Arconae==
The highest honour an Arconan can receive to be named "di Tenebrous Arconae", signifying both their dedication to the Clan and their past efforts in helping shape Arcona. Members who have received this honour are allowed to use "Arconae" in their name. The Arconae derive their powers from the Abyssal Tome, each one a guardian of the secrets contained within. To become Arconae is a long and ardurous process, the final selection chosen by the Consul of Arcona in consultation with the other Arconae.

'''Bearers of "di Tenebrous Arconae"'''
*Mejas Doto, di Tenebrous Arconae
*James Lucius Entar Arconae
*Khobai Arconae Wrathraven
*Voranyen d’Tana-Arconae
*Koskian “Psyko” d’Tana Arconae
*Denath Ciarus
*Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae

House Galeres has been the main source of income for the Clan ever since moving to the Dajorra system. Upon the discovery of Garconian spice, and the tests and refining, Gavin d'Tana himself was responsible for one of the strangest deals made by any Arconan. After negotiations, several gifts and bribes, a trade agreement was made between Galeres and several Hutt cartel's for the trade of Garconian spice. 
The flagship of Galeres, the Mejas Doto, was used many times as a cargo transport for the potent spice, with the occasional fighter escort. Most pirates within the trade route used by the Galeres pilots became fearful of the Doto, as its passing meant death to any who attacked. With this the House Galeres grew wealthy, and Arcona prospered. 
Slaving and mercenary work, when the Clan isn't in conflict with another power, have also shown considerable profits. Many laborers in the spice mines of Eldar are slaves, while some actually volunteered. Often it was suggested that the locals be subjagated into working the mines, but the business minded d'Tana family has always blocked this move, knowing that despite the abilites of the Dark Jedi of Galeres, they would be outnumbered ten to one.

''Drive out the light, that the Darkness shall be impervious.''

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

==Orders in Galeres==

===Sith===
The [[Sith]] of Galeres are a bit of a paradox. Whilst their piloting prowess and skill in sabre-combat is formidable to say the least, they seem more content to concentrate on focusing their learning on political machinations, learning how to manipulate people and twist them to their own ends and to quote Darth Traya - 'It is a far greater to make your enemy see your way rather than to crush them absolutely'. Their role within the house is simple: They provide air support, flying the various fighters during any large-scale conflict and spend the rest of the time learning the subtle art of suggestion and occasionally applying it in the many power-struggles that permeate the Brotherhood.

===Obelisk===
The [[Obelisk]] of Galeres are almost always contained within Soulfire Brigade and as such are second only to the Grand Master's Royal Guard in tactical prowess and skill with a blade. They spend the majority of their time either training as a small commando-unit or lending their services either to the clan or to the highest bidder. Formerly an elite Obelisk unit within the order, Galeres Troopers have kept up the intensive training regimen that rivals even the Guardsmen's and their skill is reflected in this with the use of not just melee weapons but there's also evidence of everyday use of more conventional weapons such as Blasters of various sizes and explosives, and even the incorporation of these with other tactics that are the norm in the Brotherhood. Galeres Obelisk are the sword of Arcona and they know it.

===Krath===
The [[Krath]] are not your traditional librarians that seem to make up the majority of the order in other clans. Galeres' Krath are fully committed to gathering knowledge through superior firepower and are the prime resource hired out to independent parties by the House for assistance with skills that include advance warning for ambushes, negotiations of black market dealings and even in some cases assassinations (though this is usually only given to Krath of the rank of Knight or above). The older Krath of Galeres have also been rumoured to have been practicing the elusive art of Battle Meditation and forming "Battle-Melds" for use in times of conflict, however this is unconfirmed.

==Base of Operations==
Brilliantly disguised as a Mining Facility, the [[House Galeres:Base|Base of Galeres]] rests inside the Mountain of Faspere. The only part of the base visible from the outside is the Mining Facility, which not only helps to hide the base but it brings in useful resources for the Clan.

==History==
Galeres was originally the Obelisk House of Arcona, and has always served as the Warrior House of the Clan. Consuls would foolishly close the House in times of low activity, and morale would plummet. Galeres has long been the sustaining heart of Arcona, and has produced many a great warrior. 
In the days before the Exodus, Galeres was housed on Coronada with the rest of the Clan, and were almost strictly Obelisk in nature. After the Exodus and the discovery of the Dajorra system, a base was quickly established on Sukhur, the harshest of the worlds. A planet of sifting glass seas and blistering heat, the base was the training facility for Galeres. In an effort to see which House was stronger, Galeres or Oriens, Consul Halcyon Rokir declared a House Feud over the planet Eldar. 
After fierce fighting, Galeres proved stronger, taking the planet as their new home base. The Galeres base, disguised as a mining operation, quickly hit paydirt with the discovery of Garconian spice, found by Voranyen and Gavin d'Tana. After some experimenting on Gavin's behalf, it was found that the spice was extremely potent on humans and near human species. Further testing showed it had effects of euphoria and bliss on the Hutt species. With the Dajorra's system location near Hutt space, it became a simple effort of learning to mine and refine the abundant spice. 
As of now, the creation of the raw spice is unknown, and it is not yet been determined if it is natural or a product of some form of animal like the glitterstim mines on Kessel.

==Economy==
House Galeres has been the main source of income for the Clan ever since moving to the Dajorra system.
