== Character History ==

=== Early life===

Kraval Novir was born into a middle class family in the Silver Sea's hospital on Chandrilla. His father was an Imperial pilot while his mother was a programmer for Hallowan Laboratories. His parents decided to name him Kraval, after a mythical beast from his father's home world. Most of Kraval's early childhood was uneventful. Whenever his mother was at work he would be sent to a child care facility, and seeing as how his father was an Imperial TIE pilot, he was rarely if ever home.

His parents did the best they could with what they had. They would buy him new toys and clothes as a way to make up for their absences, but for Kraval it just wasn't the same. He would break the toys within a week and he kept outgrowing his clothes at an extremely fast pace. While trying to raise young Kraval, his mother learned two things about him. First, he had inherited his father's temper and her sensitivity to insults. These realizations came all on the same day that Kraval was kicked out of school for attacking another boy, although he didn't lay a hand on him.

Kraval was sitting in class minding his own business when Trom, the boy behind him, began to throw wads of paper at him. This sort of thing had been happening to Kraval for years. He wasn't the popular kid in school; in fact he was the type to be easily picked on. Since he had his father's temper he always wanted to fight back, but he also had his mother's kindness which prevented him from doing anything. So Kraval would just take the insults, shoves, and taunts and try not to let them bother him. However, on this particular day Kraval could take no more. For him, this had gone on long enough. Trembling with rage, Kraval turned around and imagined hurting the boy in a horrible way. To his surprise, Trom began to twitch uncontrollably as if he was having a seizure.

A large grin emerged from Kraval's mouth as he kept picturing the boy in pain, but then the teacher grabbed Kraval from behind and was shouting at him about what was he doing. She had a frightened look on her face when she realized that Trom was on the floor but Kraval didn't have his hands near him. The teacher dragged Kraval to the principal’s office where she told him what had happened and upon hearing this the principal looked intrigued. That look vanished quickly as the principle told Kraval he was expelled while he called Kraval's mother to come pick him up. Kraval didn't have to wait long, for his mother was on her way home when she received the call on her mini-hologram cube in the speeder.

As they returned home, Kraval's mother wondered where she had gone wrong in raising her son. She really had tried her best, but apparently it just wasn't enough. What worried her the most though was how Kraval managed to hurt the other boy. It was obvious that her son had Force abilities. That fact in itself was bad enough. That he could focus his hate enough to harm a boy was horrific. The Emperor had exterminated the Jedi order and Kraval's mother had heard stories about what happened to children to display Force powers. She recalled the tales of men clad in black armor storming into homes in the middle of the night kidnapping the Force gifted child while killing the rest of the family. She shuddered at that thought and hoped that no one at the school would report what had happened.

What she didn't know was that the principle of Kraval's school was actually an agent for the Empire, sent to monitor the school and watch for Force sensitive children. As Kraval and his mother left his office, he opened a secure channel to a shadowy figure. He explained the situation to the dark man who then told the agent to arrange for a commando group to take the boy and bring him aboard an Imperial ship. The principle acknowledged his orders, terminated the link, and back tracked the call log and deleted it so no one would know about his conversation. He then went back to work, just as a normal school principal should.

===Introduced to the Dark Side===

At exactly midnight, while Kraval and his mother were sleeping, a commando squad specially trained to deal with kidnapping Force children moved into the house. Contrary to all the rumors and tales about how the squads smashed in and slaughtered everyone, the group moved with great speed and stealth as they entered Kraval's room. They injected him a sedative and wrapped him up in a blanket so his limbs wouldn't flail around and make noise. As the last commando left the home, he unhooked a datapad from the door lock, allowing it to reactivate and purging the lock's records for that day. The commandos hopped into their speeder and zoomed away from the city. They made a sharp turn and drove over the sea, coming to a small cove where they hid their shuttle. They loaded the slim speeder and Kraval onto the shuttle and lifted off. [[Image:Storm_Commando.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Storm Commando that invaded Kraval's home]]

The pilot of the shuttle used Chandrilla's gravity well to help propel them on their projected hyperspace course, and when they emerged from light speed a frigate loomed in front of them. The pilot ordered that Kraval be brought up to see his future. Kraval was escorted to the cockpit by one of the commandos and when he saw the ship in the view port he froze. He had never seen such a large ship. The pilot saw the look on Kraval's face and grinned. He brought the shuttle into a secluded bay where there was a man clad in black armor similar to the ones the commandos wore.

As Kraval headed down the shuttle ramp he glanced at the man in black, his bright red hair and green eyes a stark contrast to his uniform. When the commandos and Kraval reached a point in front of the black clad man, the commandos kneeled before him and the leader pulled Kraval down to one knee. As he waited to what would happen next, he felt something probe into his mind. It was cold, precise, and fast. Before he could identify what it was, it vanished. He looked up and the dark man made a single gesture which confused young Kraval. What did it mean? Would they take him away to be trained, or would they kill him? He soon found out the answer.

===Imperial Training===

As he looked back at that first encounter, Kraval realized how foolish he was to be afraid when he first met one of the Emperor’s Inquisitors. The years following that event went by quickly. Since he was Force gifted, he couldn't be sent to a normal military training academy. He was instead sent to a facility where he could be taught to enhance his skill for flying. Since his father was an excellent pilot, the military testers thought he would be just as great, or since he had the Force he would be even better. Kraval remembered the cliff side hangar and fortress as it stood alone on a mountain surrounded by a dry desert. He recalled being forcibly woken up very early every morning for his training regimen of weight lifting and aerobic exercises. From there he had to proceed to a class room where for eight hours he would learn all he could about star fighter tactics.

Kraval learned everything he needed to know to become one of the best pilots in the Imperial Navy. He learned how to fly a TIE Interceptor against an escort carrier and effectively shoot its turrets while evading shots from the ship and how to get the carrier's turrets to hit its own fighters. He found out how to use a TIE Bomber to engage in dogfights against rebel X-Wings. He even had the privilege of being one of the first pilots to fly the new TIE Advanced. It was one of the best fighters the Empire had to offer. It boasted speed of that beyond what the A-wing could fly, and it carried a descent missile payload to make it a threat to capital class starships.

Now Kraval was placed under the command of Colonel Hirth. The unit under Hirth's command had the task of hunting down the numerous shipyards that built the rebel star fighters. They weren't easy to find, no manufacturer would be dumb enough to have a stationary shipyard to make rebel star fighters. So naturally they made the yards mobile, capable of moving from system to system. That's what made their assignment so difficult, and what was worse was the squad had to rely on Imperial Intelligence to tell them where to go. There would be months when the squad would fly to numerous systems desperately trying to find a shipyard to blow up. Some of the time they would find yards to destroy, but other times they squad would arrive in system only to find that they had just missed catching one.

Then there were the months where the squad did nothing. Intel would have nothing to report and even though most of the squad was Force sensitive, they were only taught enough to benefit their flying skills; they weren't allowed to expand on their powers. So if they weren't out hunting for ship yards, they spent their time training or playing war games. Few of the missions they were sent on excited Kraval, most of them didn't even challenge him. The routine was always the same; you jump into the system, disable the ship yard's hyperdrive, engage the enemy starfighter defenses, and finish off the yard. The only mission that came close to excitement was when Hirth's group was hunting down a mobile yard that supposedly produced X-wings and was guarded by a corvette. The plan called for the squad to make a lighting strike and use the same tactics as always.

===Defiance and Strategy===

When Kraval's Advanced reverted to realspace he realized that Intel had screwed up again. The shipyard was where it was supposed to be, but instead of a corvette protecting it, there was a Nebulon-B Frigate picking up a shipment of starfighters. Surprise flashed through Kraval for only a second. Colonel Hirth ordered the squad to split into four groups of three pilots each which was a big tactical mistake. If the groups split like that, then it would be easy for the shipyards defending fighters and the frigate’s fighters to split them up and pick them off. Kraval realized this and, being the second in command, he ordered the squad to split into two groups of six instead. He ordered one group to attack the shipyard's hyperdrive while he took the other group to begin an assault on the capital ship. Hirth began yelling objections and threatened to court marshal Kraval and the rest of the group if they followed his lead. Which of course, they did, for they too saw the error Hirth made.

Most of the fighters that came out to defend the frigate were easy kills, the best only lasting for a few minutes. The enemy pilots had to be fresh out of an academy, they didn't execute rolls or side swipe maneuvers properly, and their firing aim was the worst Kraval had seen in years. He took care of those fighters easily enough, not a single shot landed on his shields. The station never got the chance to send off a distress signal because the second group made a quick split and destroyed the hyperdrive and the communications tower at the same time. They then regrouped and managed to destroy the station and all of its defenses within ten minutes. It was a simple task for the group, swerving in and out of the dock struts, shooting turrets and weakened hull plates. This is what Hirth's squad had trained for. [[Image:Nebulon_frigate.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Rebel Frigate ''Liberty'' protecting a mobile shipyard]]

The Nebulon-B Frigate did manage to get a signal out before their comm dish was blasted by a proton torpedo, but it made no difference on the outcome of the battle. The cruiser's attempts to protect itself were pathetic. The Advanced squad easily made quick work of the turbolaser emplacements and the missile launcher on the bottom of the ship. Realizing that most of his guns were gone, the ship's commander tried to deploy transport ships to surround the capital ship with mines. That proved useless for when the transport pilots flew out of the bay, instead of laying a mine field, they jumped for hyperspace. Dozens of missiles and laser blasts sailed through the cold vacuum of space, lancing and destroying section after section of the Rebel ship until it couldn’t hold its frame.

As the frigate broke up into a flaming wreck, the squad maneuvered to enter hyperspace. Colonel Hirth commed Kraval and told him that he and the rest of the group would be brought up on charges of disobeying orders and insubordination. Kraval had other ideas about that. He was tired of being under the command of such an arrogant fool. When they arrived back at their base on the moon of Ison, the colonel stormed up to him, his face flushed red with rage. Kraval simply smiled at the old man and formed an image in his mind, an image of a pained Hirth's on the ground. Hirth immediately froze, his body convulsing violently. Those who trained Kraval may not have wanted to further his training with the Force, but he was easily able to remember how he did it as a child. After the colonel's body hit the floor like a string-less puppet, Kraval decided that he wanted to leave the Imperial Navy and learn more about his abilities and how to control them. Without looking at his fellow squad mates, Kraval strode over to a Lambda class shuttle and took it for himself.

===Wandering and Discovery===

For a few years Kraval wandered the Corporate Sector and the Outerrim territories, hoping to find someone who could teach him in the ways of the Force. He traveled from Almania to Alzoc III, and still he had found no one. Kraval had almost given up when he felt a glimmer of power. It was faint, but he was sure he felt something. He plotted a jump in the direction he sensed the power. He had no set destination as he entered hyperspace, but it only took half a minute before Kraval felt the urge to pull back on the hyperdrive levers and snap into real space. He checked his computer's database to identify where he was. The only this he could pull up on his screen was information about the planet in front of him. A large green and brown world, the computer could not identify it. It was a planet covered almost entirely by large valleys and dangerous mountains. This intrigued Kraval, for this planet would be the perfect place for a garrison and a good place for a Force user to hide. Little did he know how right he was.

As Kraval entered the atmosphere, he turned to head towards a city. He didn't get far, for as he passed through a valley turrets appeared from the walls and began to open fire. Only his training saved him, as he got a half second warning and made a quick barrel roll to the left. The turrets began tracking him again and he took more evasive maneuvers, each move faster and more risky than the last. Somehow, the turrets managed to keep up with him, and some even shot at him before he got to a certain location. The turrets knew where he was going to go before he went there. Using his powers the best he could, Kraval stretched out his senses and discovered something very surprising about the turrets. They weren't automated as he thought, instead they were manned by people with the same abilities he had.

Kraval wondered if they could be the ones he sensed before, but didn't have much time to think about it. For that split second when he divided his attention between flying and sensing had cost him dearly. One of the turrets managed to land a shot that pierced the shuttle's shimmering blue shields and made a solid hit on the engines. Kraval was forced to switch over to repulsorlifts and make an emergency landing. Putting all the power he could afford to, Kraval struggled to keep the shuttle from smashing completely into the ground. Just as he was about to hit solid earth, his ship suddenly slowed down and made a soft landing. Kraval, not wanting to know why his ship had for no apparent reason slowed down, dashed back to the cargo area and gathered what he needed in a hurry.

===Attempted Escape===

As he opened the exit ramp, Kraval planted the single explosive on the shuttle. He knew that whoever shot him had tracked his ship all the way down to the ground. He wanted to leave a nasty surprise for those sent to investigate the ship. He set the motion sensors on the bombs and closed the ramp. He consulted his datapad and made a quick sprint in the direction of the city, for the computer said it was only five kilometers south of his current position. It wasn't even ten minutes after he left his rigged shuttle before he heard a loud explosion. Kraval turned around and saw a huge flaming plume rise into the air. He smiled and continued running, for he knew that they would soon start searching the area for him. Oddly enough, there were no search parties that he came across. He thought that it was suspicious, but he moved on, determined to reach the city.

Within a few hours, Kraval managed to reach the outskirts of the metropolis. Now the question was how was he going to get out of there? Obviously these people were hostile to outsiders and most likely weren't going to teach him in the ways of the Force. Kraval peered at his datapad again and found a section that was shaped roughly like an air field. Perfect, he thought. All he would have to do is reach that field, steal a fighter, and blast off. He knew, however, that it wouldn't be that easy. If those turrets were any indication of these people's defenses, they wouldn't be lax about the airfield.

Kraval moved through the city while avoiding attracting unnecessary attention. Fortunately, he was wearing a type of clothing that was common throughout the galaxy, a simple black vest and black pants with leather boots. He weaved in between buildings, trying to stay away from any main roads. It didn't take him long to find the airfield and it took him only a second longer to find the defenses. For an airfield holding starfighters there certainly wasn't much. Four light class AV-21 speeders were moving back and forth and up in the towers were a few guards, but other than that there seemed to be nothing else. Then again, Kraval reminded himself, he didn't see the cannons in the mountains. They may have a similar setup here, he thought, but there was one thing he was sure about. They didn't have landmines setup in the field, because the four speeders were moving across it all the time. But for all he knew there were mines there and they were programmed to recognize certain vehicles and not blow them up. Oh well, Kraval thought, there was only one way to find out.

Kraval managed to get a top of the line Seinar X-T speeder from a dealership under the pretext of taking it out for a test drive. Kraval pulled the speed to a clearing about one hundred feet from the field and checked his pack. He had a modified DL-54 blaster with three spare power packs and three sonic grenades with a special magnetic grip that activated two seconds after the grenade was turned on. He closed his bag and throttled the engine to full and shot off towards the airfield. As he approached the defense lines, he hopped that he wouldn't get blasted into a million pieces.

The defenses were slow to respond to his intrusion, because Kraval made it past the gate and was halfway to one of the pads before any forces responded. As he angled to the landing area, the other speeders attempted to get to teach side of him and put Kraval in a classic "down the middle" trap where they could just fire between themselves to hit him from both sides. Kraval, being the experienced pilot that he was, recognized the maneuver and used the speeder's boosters to zip ahead of the group. When the defenders began to move close together behind him, Kraval grabbed a sonic grenade, activated it, and tossed it high up over his shoulder. One moment he was speeding along, the next there was a medium size shock wave coursing through the air. He looked back and saw only one of the four speeders was left, it was badly damaged and turning away from him. As for the rest, he only saw melted chunks of metal.

When he was within seventy feet of the doors to the pads, two turrets suddenly popped up from the ground, their barrels swiveling to target him. Kraval began another series of evasive turns, but it did him little good. The turrets were too fast in tracking him, and he knew that if he stayed on the speeder for much longer, he was a dead man. Thinking quickly, Kraval attached his bag to the speeder and activated the last two sonic grenades, putting a ten second timer on them. He slowed the speeder down while grabbing his blaster and spare clips. As the turrets continued to fire, he jumped out the side and rolled onto the ground, putting the speeder between him and the turrets. The turrets kept shooting at the speeder, they actually managed to damage it enough to come crashing down in front of them. But the turrets didn't manage to get it to crash far enough away from them. With no warning, the two grenades went off at the same time, the resulting shockwave forced Kraval flat on the ground.

As he stood back up, he noticed that the tower guards were also stunned by the blast, and he was able to shoot them with his pistol before they got to sound an alarm. He dashed for the pads, past the charred wrecks of the turrets and into the pit where an interceptor was waiting. Breathing a sigh of relief, Kraval moved to the ship. As he got within a few feet of the fighter, he thought he saw movement at the edge of his vision. He quickly turned around and brought his pistol up. His head swayed back and forth as he searched for a target, but he saw nothing. He returned his gun to its holster and turned back to the ship. Just as he did that a figure seemed to emerge from the ship's shadow. Right off the ground this man appeared. Before Kraval could even react, the man made a simple hand gesture and Kraval felt the same shadows that the man came from engulf him.

===Dinaari===

When he awoke, Kraval was lying down in a bunk. His clothes had been changed into some sort of white robe. Still wondering where he was at, the door to the room he was in opened. A figure in a black robe stood there staring at him. After a minute or so of scrutinizing him, he motioned for Kraval to follow him. As they moved down a hall made of black obsidian stone, Kraval noticed two distinct symbols on the walls. One was a blue scythe-like shape, and the other looked like a red star gone nova. The two men reached an elevator and when they stepped inside Kraval could see no buttons to press. Instead, when the doors closed, the lift began to move upwards automatically. [[Image:Claw_of_Dinaari.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Claw of Dinaari]]

The doors of the lift re-opened and the black robed man led the way to an extremely large door. As they approached the doors opened to reveal a large office with a desk in the center of it. A man was doing computer work when the two entered. He looked up, stopped his typing, and rose from his chair. He was a man of medium height and medium build. He didn't have bulging muscles threatening to tear apart his clothes, but he wasn't skinny by any means. His face looked like it had been carved from granite, his eyes a silver gray color. His jet black hair was flattened to his head and his ears were the pointiest Kraval had ever seen. He circled Kraval and looked him over. He asked Kraval what he was doing on their planet. He replied that he wanted to learn more about the Force. The man looked suspiciously at Kraval then continued on. He mentioned the shoot down of the shuttle and the little trap that failed to kill much less hurt anyone. The men sent to check out the downed craft had sensed the trap and had used the Force to set off the bombs. The man then talked about the stolen speeder and Kraval's assault on the airfield.

Then the man did something totally unexpected. He congratulated Kraval on making it so far. Many others were put through the same trials as he was, but most never got past the cannons in the mountains. The way Kraval used the speeder bike as a bomb carrier was a good choice given the situation he was in. The man looked at Kraval one more time and then gestured to the man in the black robes. He told him to take Kraval to the Initiation Temple on Karufr. As he left the room, Kraval smiled and noticed the similarity to this situation and one he had as a child. Once again, Kraval was being led on to start his training.

===Dark Side Training===

His training was not easy, nor was it quick. He was surprised at how much he did not know. Then again, he should have realized the truth. When he was with the Imperial Navy, they didn't allow him to focus on anything else other than becoming a superior pilot. He was taught how to expand his awareness to a short range, so that in star fighter combat he could tell what his opponent was going to do. He didn't know that he could expand that awareness even farther, to the point where he could feel other beings in other sectors.

Each and every day Kraval was stunned by what he was taught. He learned how to levitate items of all shapes and all sizes. Even though he doubted it, he had seen instructors lift boulders five times their size. When Kraval tried, he found that lifting objects wasn't that hard at all. Soon he surpassed his fellow students and was moving on to other areas of training. He watched the Krath priests use the Force to empower medallions with the dark side. He saw Obelisk troops use the Force to enhance their fighting skills.

Although he was an excellent pilot, he was by far not the best. Every other day he would get into a simulator and be shot down by one of the senior fighters. Surprisingly, this didn't anger him much. He felt that he did need improvement, especially fighting against people that had the same skills as he. For too long he had fought against inferior enemies, and with each victory he had become lax. Now it was coming back to haunt him. Fortunately, it was only in the simulators that his sloppiness was occurring. With time and training, he would become better. He was determined to be one of the best pilots in the Dark Brotherhood.

Not only did he want to become the best pilot, but he also wanted to become a hand to hand combatant. It was all well and good to be a fighter pilot, but what if in combat his craft was shot down? What would happen to him then? He would be forced to fend for himself on the ground where numerous enemies would await him. He took it upon himself to go and find a trainer, and he was lucky enough to have been placed into clan Taldryan, where some of the best ground combatants are. He was placed into Dark Fire Brigade, under the leadership of Jedi Hunter Fire-Knight. From there, he learned all he needed to know about ground battles.

His first training session had been a joke. There was a huge open area where he was told to report for training, and he walked out into the clearing not suspecting a thing. He barely got a warning through the Force before a shot rang out at him and a spot of burnt grass appeared beside his foot. He looked up and saw a man with a Tenloss sniper rifle cradled in his hands. He jumped down from his spot and walked over to Kraval wearing a smug look on his face. The man introduced himself as the commander, and told Kraval that he had made the first biggest mistake anyone could make. Never walk into a clearing without looking around first, snipers love when someone does that.

His combat training only got tougher from there. Since he was in clan Taldryan, they had a long standing tradition of using the Bryars pistol in combat. It has two modes of fire, one rapid low powered shot, while the other was a slower but more powerful charge shot. Taldryan prided itself on being the only clan to have mastered that pistol, and they demanded that even the newest members become proficient in its use. Kraval was once again ordered to report to the training grounds, but this time he decided to trap his battle team leader, instead of getting trapped.

As he approached the clearing, he crouched down into the dense foliage. He knew his leader was expecting him, so instead of going into the clearing himself, he projected an image of himself walking out into the open. His leader, assuming that Kraval hadn't learned his lesson from the first incident, stood up and began charging his pistol. Kraval, however, saw him aim at the projection and snapped off a few low powered shots at his commanders mid section. As the bolts flashed towards his leader, Kraval's projection vanished into thin air. His leader spun around just in time to take the shots in front of himself. Just when the bolts looked like they were going to strike flesh, they disappeared into a wavy green field. His leader had been smart and had activated his personal shielding unit long before the fight.

No day had ever been more tiring in Kraval's life. He truly learned his physical limits on that morning. Using the Bryars pistol wasn't an easy task. Using the charged shot caused the gun to shake a bit, forcing the user to compensate for the jumpiness of the gun. Then he learned the art of using the gun in actual combat. Kraval had to jump left and right, back and forth, side to side, and whatever way he could think of to avoid getting hit. He tried to shoot back, but every time he fired he would miss his target wide. He would aim for where his target was, and then when he shot, the target would be on the other side of the field by that time.

Kraval finally got the concept that he had to attempt to predict where his target was going and shoot at that spot, instead of where the target was at that moment. Once he got that down there was very little difference from what he was doing there compared to what he did in a fighter. He learned how to adjust shots for mid-air attacks, how to move at the last minute, and how to use the momentum of a hit that would land on his shields and force him back a small distance. As soon as he became good with that weapon, he decided to train in the other commonly used weapons.

[[Image:Sniper Shot 2.jpg |thumb|250px|left|Kraval's sniper training]]

He learned how to use a heavy repeater, how to effectively use the speed shots to lay down suppressive fire. He found out that the secondary fire on that gun shot out a concussive blast that could knock enemy troops to their feet. He learned how to shot a Golan Arms FC-1 rifle. The main blast shoots out shards of medal, while the secondary shots fire two concussion balls that can bounce off walls and was handy for hitting enemies around corners. His favorite weapon, however, was the same one used by his battle team leader during their first training session. It was the Tenloss Disruptor Rifle. A perfect little weapon, it could fire semi-powerful, semi-fast shots that could do some good damage to an enemy's shields. The best feature of the rifle though was the sniper function. It was that part of the gun that had earned Kraval a spot on the Grand Masters Royal Guard. That weapon, and Kraval's excelled use of it, got the attention of his order leader, Sith High Warrior and Dark Jedi Master Gui Long, commonly known as Bloodfyre.

===Leadership===

After a while Kraval took on command of Dark Fire Brigade, Dinaari’s only battle team. Succeeding to Aedile then Quaestor of Dinaari Kraval lead the house for a brief period of time before becoming Arbiter Magistrate then Praetor to the Master at Arms. Due to the ascension of Halcyon Rokir to Deputy Grand Master Kraval was elevated to the position of Master at Arms which he currently holds.

===Absence during the Yuuzhan Vong War===

Not many know what the Master at Arms was doing during the conflict. Rumors of trips through the Outer Rim and a few Inner Core Worlds are spoken by members of the Brotherhood but knowledge of his actual whereabouts at the time are still unknown.

Kraval Novir was born into a middle class family in the Silver Sea's hospital on Chandrilla. His father was an Imperial pilot while his mother was a programmer for Hallowan Laboratories. His parents decided to name him Kraval, after a mythical beast from his father's home world. Most of Kraval's early childhood was uneventful. Whenever his mother was at work he would be sent to a child care facility, and seeing as how his father was an Imperial TIE pilot, he was rarely if ever home.

His parents did the best they could with what they had. They would buy him new toys and clothes as a way to make up for their absences, but for Kraval it just wasn't the same. He would break the toys within a week and he kept outgrowing his clothes at an extremely fast pace. While trying to raise young Kraval, his mother learned two things about him. First, he had inherited his father's temper and her sensitivity to insults. These realizations came all on the same day that Kraval was kicked out of school for attacking another boy, although he didn't lay a hand on him.

Kraval was sitting in class minding his own business when Trom, the boy behind him, began to throw wads of paper at him. This sort of thing had been happening to Kraval for years. He wasn't the popular kid in school; in fact he was the type to be easily picked on. Since he had his father's temper he always wanted to fight back, but he also had his mother's kindness which prevented him from doing anything. So Kraval would just take the insults, shoves, and taunts and try not to let them bother him. However, on this particular day Kraval could take no more. For him, this had gone on long enough. Trembling with rage, Kraval turned around and imagined hurting the boy in a horrible way. To his surprise, Trom began to twitch uncontrollably as if he was having a seizure.

A large grin emerged from Kraval's mouth as he kept picturing the boy in pain, but then the teacher grabbed Kraval from behind and was shouting at him about what was he doing. She had a frightened look on her face when she realized that Trom was on the floor but Kraval didn't have his hands near him. The teacher dragged Kraval to the principal’s office where she told him what had happened and upon hearing this the principal looked intrigued. That look vanished quickly as the principle told Kraval he was expelled while he called Kraval's mother to come pick him up. Kraval didn't have to wait long, for his mother was on her way home when she received the call on her mini-hologram cube in the speeder.

As they returned home, Kraval's mother wondered where she had gone wrong in raising her son. She really had tried her best, but apparently it just wasn't enough. What worried her the most though was how Kraval managed to hurt the other boy. It was obvious that her son had Force abilities. That fact in itself was bad enough. That he could focus his hate enough to harm a boy was horrific. The Emperor had exterminated the Jedi order and Kraval's mother had heard stories about what happened to children to display Force powers. She recalled the tales of men clad in black armor storming into homes in the middle of the night kidnapping the Force gifted child while killing the rest of the family. She shuddered at that thought and hoped that no one at the school would report what had happened.

What she didn't know was that the principle of Kraval's school was actually an agent for the Empire, sent to monitor the school and watch for Force sensitive children. As Kraval and his mother left his office, he opened a secure channel to a shadowy figure. He explained the situation to the dark man who then told the agent to arrange for a commando group to take the boy and bring him aboard an Imperial ship. The principle acknowledged his orders, terminated the link, and back tracked the call log and deleted it so no one would know about his conversation. He then went back to work, just as a normal school principal should.

===Introduced to the Dark Side===

At exactly midnight, while Kraval and his mother were sleeping, a commando squad specially trained to deal with kidnapping Force children moved into the house. Contrary to all the rumors and tales about how the squads smashed in and slaughtered everyone, the group moved with great speed and stealth as they entered Kraval's room. They injected him a sedative and wrapped him up in a blanket so his limbs wouldn't flail around and make noise. As the last commando left the home, he unhooked a datapad from the door lock, allowing it to reactivate and purging the lock's records for that day. The commandos hopped into their speeder and zoomed away from the city. They made a sharp turn and drove over the sea, coming to a small cove where they hid their shuttle. They loaded the slim speeder and Kraval onto the shuttle and lifted off. [[Image:Storm_Commando.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Storm Commando that invaded Kraval's home]]

The pilot of the shuttle used Chandrilla's gravity well to help propel them on their projected hyperspace course, and when they emerged from light speed a frigate loomed in front of them. The pilot ordered that Kraval be brought up to see his future. Kraval was escorted to the cockpit by one of the commandos and when he saw the ship in the view port he froze. He had never seen such a large ship. The pilot saw the look on Kraval's face and grinned. He brought the shuttle into a secluded bay where there was a man clad in black armor similar to the ones the commandos wore.

As Kraval headed down the shuttle ramp he glanced at the man in black, his bright red hair and green eyes a stark contrast to his uniform. When the commandos and Kraval reached a point in front of the black clad man, the commandos kneeled before him and the leader pulled Kraval down to one knee. As he waited to what would happen next, he felt something probe into his mind. It was cold, precise, and fast. Before he could identify what it was, it vanished. He looked up and the dark man made a single gesture which confused young Kraval. What did it mean? Would they take him away to be trained, or would they kill him? He soon found out the answer.

===Imperial Training===

As he looked back at that first encounter, Kraval realized how foolish he was to be afraid when he first met one of the Emperor’s Inquisitors. The years following that event went by quickly. Since he was Force gifted, he couldn't be sent to a normal military training academy. He was instead sent to a facility where he could be taught to enhance his skill for flying. Since his father was an excellent pilot, the military testers thought he would be just as great, or since he had the Force he would be even better. Kraval remembered the cliff side hangar and fortress as it stood alone on a mountain surrounded by a dry desert. He recalled being forcibly woken up very early every morning for his training regimen of weight lifting and aerobic exercises. From there he had to proceed to a class room where for eight hours he would learn all he could about star fighter tactics.

Kraval learned everything he needed to know to become one of the best pilots in the Imperial Navy. He learned how to fly a TIE Interceptor against an escort carrier and effectively shoot its turrets while evading shots from the ship and how to get the carrier's turrets to hit its own fighters. He found out how to use a TIE Bomber to engage in dogfights against rebel X-Wings. He even had the privilege of being one of the first pilots to fly the new TIE Advanced. It was one of the best fighters the Empire had to offer. It boasted speed of that beyond what the A-wing could fly, and it carried a descent missile payload to make it a threat to capital class starships.

Now Kraval was placed under the command of Colonel Hirth. The unit under Hirth's command had the task of hunting down the numerous shipyards that built the rebel star fighters. They weren't easy to find, no manufacturer would be dumb enough to have a stationary shipyard to make rebel star fighters. So naturally they made the yards mobile, capable of moving from system to system. That's what made their assignment so difficult, and what was worse was the squad had to rely on Imperial Intelligence to tell them where to go. There would be months when the squad would fly to numerous systems desperately trying to find a shipyard to blow up. Some of the time they would find yards to destroy, but other times they squad would arrive in system only to find that they had just missed catching one.

Then there were the months where the squad did nothing. Intel would have nothing to report and even though most of the squad was Force sensitive, they were only taught enough to benefit their flying skills; they weren't allowed to expand on their powers. So if they weren't out hunting for ship yards, they spent their time training or playing war games. Few of the missions they were sent on excited Kraval, most of them didn't even challenge him. The routine was always the same; you jump into the system, disable the ship yard's hyperdrive, engage the enemy starfighter defenses, and finish off the yard. The only mission that came close to excitement was when Hirth's group was hunting down a mobile yard that supposedly produced X-wings and was guarded by a corvette. The plan called for the squad to make a lighting strike and use the same tactics as always.

===Defiance and Strategy===

When Kraval's Advanced reverted to realspace he realized that Intel had screwed up again. The shipyard was where it was supposed to be, but instead of a corvette protecting it, there was a Nebulon-B Frigate picking up a shipment of starfighters. Surprise flashed through Kraval for only a second. Colonel Hirth ordered the squad to split into four groups of three pilots each which was a big tactical mistake. If the groups split like that, then it would be easy for the shipyards defending fighters and the frigate’s fighters to split them up and pick them off. Kraval realized this and, being the second in command, he ordered the squad to split into two groups of six instead. He ordered one group to attack the shipyard's hyperdrive while he took the other group to begin an assault on the capital ship. Hirth began yelling objections and threatened to court marshal Kraval and the rest of the group if they followed his lead. Which of course, they did, for they too saw the error Hirth made.

Most of the fighters that came out to defend the frigate were easy kills, the best only lasting for a few minutes. The enemy pilots had to be fresh out of an academy, they didn't execute rolls or side swipe maneuvers properly, and their firing aim was the worst Kraval had seen in years. He took care of those fighters easily enough, not a single shot landed on his shields. The station never got the chance to send off a distress signal because the second group made a quick split and destroyed the hyperdrive and the communications tower at the same time. They then regrouped and managed to destroy the station and all of its defenses within ten minutes. It was a simple task for the group, swerving in and out of the dock struts, shooting turrets and weakened hull plates. This is what Hirth's squad had trained for. [[Image:Nebulon_frigate.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Rebel Frigate ''Liberty'' protecting a mobile shipyard]]

The Nebulon-B Frigate did manage to get a signal out before their comm dish was blasted by a proton torpedo, but it made no difference on the outcome of the battle. The cruiser's attempts to protect itself were pathetic. The Advanced squad easily made quick work of the turbolaser emplacements and the missile launcher on the bottom of the ship. Realizing that most of his guns were gone, the ship's commander tried to deploy transport ships to surround the capital ship with mines. That proved useless for when the transport pilots flew out of the bay, instead of laying a mine field, they jumped for hyperspace. Dozens of missiles and laser blasts sailed through the cold vacuum of space, lancing and destroying section after section of the Rebel ship until it couldn’t hold its frame.

As the frigate broke up into a flaming wreck, the squad maneuvered to enter hyperspace. Colonel Hirth commed Kraval and told him that he and the rest of the group would be brought up on charges of disobeying orders and insubordination. Kraval had other ideas about that. He was tired of being under the command of such an arrogant fool. When they arrived back at their base on the moon of Ison, the colonel stormed up to him, his face flushed red with rage. Kraval simply smiled at the old man and formed an image in his mind, an image of a pained Hirth's on the ground. Hirth immediately froze, his body convulsing violently. Those who trained Kraval may not have wanted to further his training with the Force, but he was easily able to remember how he did it as a child. After the colonel's body hit the floor like a string-less puppet, Kraval decided that he wanted to leave the Imperial Navy and learn more about his abilities and how to control them. Without looking at his fellow squad mates, Kraval strode over to a Lambda class shuttle and took it for himself.

===Wandering and Discovery===

For a few years Kraval wandered the Corporate Sector and the Outerrim territories, hoping to find someone who could teach him in the ways of the Force. He traveled from Almania to Alzoc III, and still he had found no one. Kraval had almost given up when he felt a glimmer of power. It was faint, but he was sure he felt something. He plotted a jump in the direction he sensed the power. He had no set destination as he entered hyperspace, but it only took half a minute before Kraval felt the urge to pull back on the hyperdrive levers and snap into real space. He checked his computer's database to identify where he was. The only this he could pull up on his screen was information about the planet in front of him. A large green and brown world, the computer could not identify it. It was a planet covered almost entirely by large valleys and dangerous mountains. This intrigued Kraval, for this planet would be the perfect place for a garrison and a good place for a Force user to hide. Little did he know how right he was.

As Kraval entered the atmosphere, he turned to head towards a city. He didn't get far, for as he passed through a valley turrets appeared from the walls and began to open fire. Only his training saved him, as he got a half second warning and made a quick barrel roll to the left. The turrets began tracking him again and he took more evasive maneuvers, each move faster and more risky than the last. Somehow, the turrets managed to keep up with him, and some even shot at him before he got to a certain location. The turrets knew where he was going to go before he went there. Using his powers the best he could, Kraval stretched out his senses and discovered something very surprising about the turrets. They weren't automated as he thought, instead they were manned by people with the same abilities he had.

Kraval wondered if they could be the ones he sensed before, but didn't have much time to think about it. For that split second when he divided his attention between flying and sensing had cost him dearly. One of the turrets managed to land a shot that pierced the shuttle's shimmering blue shields and made a solid hit on the engines. Kraval was forced to switch over to repulsorlifts and make an emergency landing. Putting all the power he could afford to, Kraval struggled to keep the shuttle from smashing completely into the ground. Just as he was about to hit solid earth, his ship suddenly slowed down and made a soft landing. Kraval, not wanting to know why his ship had for no apparent reason slowed down, dashed back to the cargo area and gathered what he needed in a hurry.

===Attempted Escape===

As he opened the exit ramp, Kraval planted the single explosive on the shuttle. He knew that whoever shot him had tracked his ship all the way down to the ground. He wanted to leave a nasty surprise for those sent to investigate the ship. He set the motion sensors on the bombs and closed the ramp. He consulted his datapad and made a quick sprint in the direction of the city, for the computer said it was only five kilometers south of his current position. It wasn't even ten minutes after he left his rigged shuttle before he heard a loud explosion. Kraval turned around and saw a huge flaming plume rise into the air. He smiled and continued running, for he knew that they would soon start searching the area for him. Oddly enough, there were no search parties that he came across. He thought that it was suspicious, but he moved on, determined to reach the city.

Within a few hours, Kraval managed to reach the outskirts of the metropolis. Now the question was how was he going to get out of there? Obviously these people were hostile to outsiders and most likely weren't going to teach him in the ways of the Force. Kraval peered at his datapad again and found a section that was shaped roughly like an air field. Perfect, he thought. All he would have to do is reach that field, steal a fighter, and blast off. He knew, however, that it wouldn't be that easy. If those turrets were any indication of these people's defenses, they wouldn't be lax about the airfield.

Kraval moved through the city while avoiding attracting unnecessary attention. Fortunately, he was wearing a type of clothing that was common throughout the galaxy, a simple black vest and black pants with leather boots. He weaved in between buildings, trying to stay away from any main roads. It didn't take him long to find the airfield and it took him only a second longer to find the defenses. For an airfield holding starfighters there certainly wasn't much. Four light class AV-21 speeders were moving back and forth and up in the towers were a few guards, but other than that there seemed to be nothing else. Then again, Kraval reminded himself, he didn't see the cannons in the mountains. They may have a similar setup here, he thought, but there was one thing he was sure about. They didn't have landmines setup in the field, because the four speeders were moving across it all the time. But for all he knew there were mines there and they were programmed to recognize certain vehicles and not blow them up. Oh well, Kraval thought, there was only one way to find out.

Kraval managed to get a top of the line Seinar X-T speeder from a dealership under the pretext of taking it out for a test drive. Kraval pulled the speed to a clearing about one hundred feet from the field and checked his pack. He had a modified DL-54 blaster with three spare power packs and three sonic grenades with a special magnetic grip that activated two seconds after the grenade was turned on. He closed his bag and throttled the engine to full and shot off towards the airfield. As he approached the defense lines, he hopped that he wouldn't get blasted into a million pieces.

The defenses were slow to respond to his intrusion, because Kraval made it past the gate and was halfway to one of the pads before any forces responded. As he angled to the landing area, the other speeders attempted to get to teach side of him and put Kraval in a classic "down the middle" trap where they could just fire between themselves to hit him from both sides. Kraval, being the experienced pilot that he was, recognized the maneuver and used the speeder's boosters to zip ahead of the group. When the defenders began to move close together behind him, Kraval grabbed a sonic grenade, activated it, and tossed it high up over his shoulder. One moment he was speeding along, the next there was a medium size shock wave coursing through the air. He looked back and saw only one of the four speeders was left, it was badly damaged and turning away from him. As for the rest, he only saw melted chunks of metal.

When he was within seventy feet of the doors to the pads, two turrets suddenly popped up from the ground, their barrels swiveling to target him. Kraval began another series of evasive turns, but it did him little good. The turrets were too fast in tracking him, and he knew that if he stayed on the speeder for much longer, he was a dead man. Thinking quickly, Kraval attached his bag to the speeder and activated the last two sonic grenades, putting a ten second timer on them. He slowed the speeder down while grabbing his blaster and spare clips. As the turrets continued to fire, he jumped out the side and rolled onto the ground, putting the speeder between him and the turrets. The turrets kept shooting at the speeder, they actually managed to damage it enough to come crashing down in front of them. But the turrets didn't manage to get it to crash far enough away from them. With no warning, the two grenades went off at the same time, the resulting shockwave forced Kraval flat on the ground.

As he stood back up, he noticed that the tower guards were also stunned by the blast, and he was able to shoot them with his pistol before they got to sound an alarm. He dashed for the pads, past the charred wrecks of the turrets and into the pit where an interceptor was waiting. Breathing a sigh of relief, Kraval moved to the ship. As he got within a few feet of the fighter, he thought he saw movement at the edge of his vision. He quickly turned around and brought his pistol up. His head swayed back and forth as he searched for a target, but he saw nothing. He returned his gun to its holster and turned back to the ship. Just as he did that a figure seemed to emerge from the ship's shadow. Right off the ground this man appeared. Before Kraval could even react, the man made a simple hand gesture and Kraval felt the same shadows that the man came from engulf him.

===Dinaari===

When he awoke, Kraval was lying down in a bunk. His clothes had been changed into some sort of white robe. Still wondering where he was at, the door to the room he was in opened. A figure in a black robe stood there staring at him. After a minute or so of scrutinizing him, he motioned for Kraval to follow him. As they moved down a hall made of black obsidian stone, Kraval noticed two distinct symbols on the walls. One was a blue scythe-like shape, and the other looked like a red star gone nova. The two men reached an elevator and when they stepped inside Kraval could see no buttons to press. Instead, when the doors closed, the lift began to move upwards automatically. [[Image:Claw_of_Dinaari.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Claw of Dinaari]]

The doors of the lift re-opened and the black robed man led the way to an extremely large door. As they approached the doors opened to reveal a large office with a desk in the center of it. A man was doing computer work when the two entered. He looked up, stopped his typing, and rose from his chair. He was a man of medium height and medium build. He didn't have bulging muscles threatening to tear apart his clothes, but he wasn't skinny by any means. His face looked like it had been carved from granite, his eyes a silver gray color. His jet black hair was flattened to his head and his ears were the pointiest Kraval had ever seen. He circled Kraval and looked him over. He asked Kraval what he was doing on their planet. He replied that he wanted to learn more about the Force. The man looked suspiciously at Kraval then continued on. He mentioned the shoot down of the shuttle and the little trap that failed to kill much less hurt anyone. The men sent to check out the downed craft had sensed the trap and had used the Force to set off the bombs. The man then talked about the stolen speeder and Kraval's assault on the airfield.

Then the man did something totally unexpected. He congratulated Kraval on making it so far. Many others were put through the same trials as he was, but most never got past the cannons in the mountains. The way Kraval used the speeder bike as a bomb carrier was a good choice given the situation he was in. The man looked at Kraval one more time and then gestured to the man in the black robes. He told him to take Kraval to the Initiation Temple on Karufr. As he left the room, Kraval smiled and noticed the similarity to this situation and one he had as a child. Once again, Kraval was being led on to start his training.

===Dark Side Training===

His training was not easy, nor was it quick. He was surprised at how much he did not know. Then again, he should have realized the truth. When he was with the Imperial Navy, they didn't allow him to focus on anything else other than becoming a superior pilot. He was taught how to expand his awareness to a short range, so that in star fighter combat he could tell what his opponent was going to do. He didn't know that he could expand that awareness even farther, to the point where he could feel other beings in other sectors.

Each and every day Kraval was stunned by what he was taught. He learned how to levitate items of all shapes and all sizes. Even though he doubted it, he had seen instructors lift boulders five times their size. When Kraval tried, he found that lifting objects wasn't that hard at all. Soon he surpassed his fellow students and was moving on to other areas of training. He watched the Krath priests use the Force to empower medallions with the dark side. He saw Obelisk troops use the Force to enhance their fighting skills.

Although he was an excellent pilot, he was by far not the best. Every other day he would get into a simulator and be shot down by one of the senior fighters. Surprisingly, this didn't anger him much. He felt that he did need improvement, especially fighting against people that had the same skills as he. For too long he had fought against inferior enemies, and with each victory he had become lax. Now it was coming back to haunt him. Fortunately, it was only in the simulators that his sloppiness was occurring. With time and training, he would become better. He was determined to be one of the best pilots in the Dark Brotherhood.

Not only did he want to become the best pilot, but he also wanted to become a hand to hand combatant. It was all well and good to be a fighter pilot, but what if in combat his craft was shot down? What would happen to him then? He would be forced to fend for himself on the ground where numerous enemies would await him. He took it upon himself to go and find a trainer, and he was lucky enough to have been placed into clan Taldryan, where some of the best ground combatants are. He was placed into Dark Fire Brigade, under the leadership of Jedi Hunter Fire-Knight. From there, he learned all he needed to know about ground battles.

His first training session had been a joke. There was a huge open area where he was told to report for training, and he walked out into the clearing not suspecting a thing. He barely got a warning through the Force before a shot rang out at him and a spot of burnt grass appeared beside his foot. He looked up and saw a man with a Tenloss sniper rifle cradled in his hands. He jumped down from his spot and walked over to Kraval wearing a smug look on his face. The man introduced himself as the commander, and told Kraval that he had made the first biggest mistake anyone could make. Never walk into a clearing without looking around first, snipers love when someone does that.

His combat training only got tougher from there. Since he was in clan Taldryan, they had a long standing tradition of using the Bryars pistol in combat. It has two modes of fire, one rapid low powered shot, while the other was a slower but more powerful charge shot. Taldryan prided itself on being the only clan to have mastered that pistol, and they demanded that even the newest members become proficient in its use. Kraval was once again ordered to report to the training grounds, but this time he decided to trap his battle team leader, instead of getting trapped.

As he approached the clearing, he crouched down into the dense foliage. He knew his leader was expecting him, so instead of going into the clearing himself, he projected an image of himself walking out into the open. His leader, assuming that Kraval hadn't learned his lesson from the first incident, stood up and began charging his pistol. Kraval, however, saw him aim at the projection and snapped off a few low powered shots at his commanders mid section. As the bolts flashed towards his leader, Kraval's projection vanished into thin air. His leader spun around just in time to take the shots in front of himself. Just when the bolts looked like they were going to strike flesh, they disappeared into a wavy green field. His leader had been smart and had activated his personal shielding unit long before the fight.

No day had ever been more tiring in Kraval's life. He truly learned his physical limits on that morning. Using the Bryars pistol wasn't an easy task. Using the charged shot caused the gun to shake a bit, forcing the user to compensate for the jumpiness of the gun. Then he learned the art of using the gun in actual combat. Kraval had to jump left and right, back and forth, side to side, and whatever way he could think of to avoid getting hit. He tried to shoot back, but every time he fired he would miss his target wide. He would aim for where his target was, and then when he shot, the target would be on the other side of the field by that time.

Kraval finally got the concept that he had to attempt to predict where his target was going and shoot at that spot, instead of where the target was at that moment. Once he got that down there was very little difference from what he was doing there compared to what he did in a fighter. He learned how to adjust shots for mid-air attacks, how to move at the last minute, and how to use the momentum of a hit that would land on his shields and force him back a small distance. As soon as he became good with that weapon, he decided to train in the other commonly used weapons.

[[Image:Sniper Shot 2.jpg |thumb|250px|left|Kraval's sniper training]]

He learned how to use a heavy repeater, how to effectively use the speed shots to lay down suppressive fire. He found out that the secondary fire on that gun shot out a concussive blast that could knock enemy troops to their feet. He learned how to shot a Golan Arms FC-1 rifle. The main blast shoots out shards of medal, while the secondary shots fire two concussion balls that can bounce off walls and was handy for hitting enemies around corners. His favorite weapon, however, was the same one used by his battle team leader during their first training session. It was the Tenloss Disruptor Rifle. A perfect little weapon, it could fire semi-powerful, semi-fast shots that could do some good damage to an enemy's shields. The best feature of the rifle though was the sniper function. It was that part of the gun that had earned Kraval a spot on the Grand Masters Royal Guard. That weapon, and Kraval's excelled use of it, got the attention of his order leader, Sith High Warrior and Dark Jedi Master Gui Long, commonly known as Bloodfyre.

===Leadership===

After a while Kraval took on command of Dark Fire Brigade, Dinaari’s only battle team. Succeeding to Aedile then Quaestor of Dinaari Kraval lead the house for a brief period of time before becoming Arbiter Magistrate then Praetor to the Master at Arms. Due to the ascension of Halcyon Rokir to Deputy Grand Master Kraval was elevated to the position of Master at Arms which he currently holds.

===Absence during the Yuuzhan Vong War===

Not many know what the Master at Arms was doing during the conflict. Rumors of trips through the Outer Rim and a few Inner Core Worlds are spoken by members of the Brotherhood but knowledge of his actual whereabouts at the time are still unknown.

== Character History ==

=== Early life===

Kraval Novir was born into a middle class family in the Silver Sea's hospital on Chandrilla. His father was an Imperial pilot while his mother was a programmer for Hallowan Laboratories. His parents decided to name him Kraval, after a mythical beast from his father's home world. Most of Kraval's early childhood was uneventful. Whenever his mother was at work he would be sent to a child care facility, and seeing as how his father was an Imperial TIE pilot, he was rarely if ever home.

His parents did the best they could with what they had. They would buy him new toys and clothes as a way to make up for their absences, but for Kraval it just wasn't the same. He would break the toys within a week and he kept outgrowing his clothes at an extremely fast pace. While trying to raise young Kraval, his mother learned two things about him. First, he had inherited his father's temper and her sensitivity to insults. These realizations came all on the same day that Kraval was kicked out of school for attacking another boy, although he didn't lay a hand on him.

Kraval was sitting in class minding his own business when Trom, the boy behind him, began to throw wads of paper at him. This sort of thing had been happening to Kraval for years. He wasn't the popular kid in school; in fact he was the type to be easily picked on. Since he had his father's temper he always wanted to fight back, but he also had his mother's kindness which prevented him from doing anything. So Kraval would just take the insults, shoves, and taunts and try not to let them bother him. However, on this particular day Kraval could take no more. For him, this had gone on long enough. Trembling with rage, Kraval turned around and imagined hurting the boy in a horrible way. To his surprise, Trom began to twitch uncontrollably as if he was having a seizure.

A large grin emerged from Kraval's mouth as he kept picturing the boy in pain, but then the teacher grabbed Kraval from behind and was shouting at him about what was he doing. She had a frightened look on her face when she realized that Trom was on the floor but Kraval didn't have his hands near him. The teacher dragged Kraval to the principal’s office where she told him what had happened and upon hearing this the principal looked intrigued. That look vanished quickly as the principle told Kraval he was expelled while he called Kraval's mother to come pick him up. Kraval didn't have to wait long, for his mother was on her way home when she received the call on her mini-hologram cube in the speeder.

As they returned home, Kraval's mother wondered where she had gone wrong in raising her son. She really had tried her best, but apparently it just wasn't enough. What worried her the most though was how Kraval managed to hurt the other boy. It was obvious that her son had Force abilities. That fact in itself was bad enough. That he could focus his hate enough to harm a boy was horrific. The Emperor had exterminated the Jedi order and Kraval's mother had heard stories about what happened to children to display Force powers. She recalled the tales of men clad in black armor storming into homes in the middle of the night kidnapping the Force gifted child while killing the rest of the family. She shuddered at that thought and hoped that no one at the school would report what had happened.

What she didn't know was that the principle of Kraval's school was actually an agent for the Empire, sent to monitor the school and watch for Force sensitive children. As Kraval and his mother left his office, he opened a secure channel to a shadowy figure. He explained the situation to the dark man who then told the agent to arrange for a commando group to take the boy and bring him aboard an Imperial ship. The principle acknowledged his orders, terminated the link, and back tracked the call log and deleted it so no one would know about his conversation. He then went back to work, just as a normal school principal should.

===Introduced to the Dark Side===

At exactly midnight, while Kraval and his mother were sleeping, a commando squad specially trained to deal with kidnapping Force children moved into the house. Contrary to all the rumors and tales about how the squads smashed in and slaughtered everyone, the group moved with great speed and stealth as they entered Kraval's room. They injected him a sedative and wrapped him up in a blanket so his limbs wouldn't flail around and make noise. As the last commando left the home, he unhooked a datapad from the door lock, allowing it to reactivate and purging the lock's records for that day. The commandos hopped into their speeder and zoomed away from the city. They made a sharp turn and drove over the sea, coming to a small cove where they hid their shuttle. They loaded the slim speeder and Kraval onto the shuttle and lifted off. [[Image:Storm_Commando.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Storm Commando that invaded Kraval's home]]

The pilot of the shuttle used Chandrilla's gravity well to help propel them on their projected hyperspace course, and when they emerged from light speed a frigate loomed in front of them. The pilot ordered that Kraval be brought up to see his future. Kraval was escorted to the cockpit by one of the commandos and when he saw the ship in the view port he froze. He had never seen such a large ship. The pilot saw the look on Kraval's face and grinned. He brought the shuttle into a secluded bay where there was a man clad in black armor similar to the ones the commandos wore.

As Kraval headed down the shuttle ramp he glanced at the man in black, his bright red hair and green eyes a stark contrast to his uniform. When the commandos and Kraval reached a point in front of the black clad man, the commandos kneeled before him and the leader pulled Kraval down to one knee. As he waited to what would happen next, he felt something probe into his mind. It was cold, precise, and fast. Before he could identify what it was, it vanished. He looked up and the dark man made a single gesture which confused young Kraval. What did it mean? Would they take him away to be trained, or would they kill him? He soon found out the answer.

===Imperial Training===

As he looked back at that first encounter, Kraval realized how foolish he was to be afraid when he first met one of the Emperor’s Inquisitors. The years following that event went by quickly. Since he was Force gifted, he couldn't be sent to a normal military training academy. He was instead sent to a facility where he could be taught to enhance his skill for flying. Since his father was an excellent pilot, the military testers thought he would be just as great, or since he had the Force he would be even better. Kraval remembered the cliff side hangar and fortress as it stood alone on a mountain surrounded by a dry desert. He recalled being forcibly woken up very early every morning for his training regimen of weight lifting and aerobic exercises. From there he had to proceed to a class room where for eight hours he would learn all he could about star fighter tactics.

Kraval learned everything he needed to know to become one of the best pilots in the Imperial Navy. He learned how to fly a TIE Interceptor against an escort carrier and effectively shoot its turrets while evading shots from the ship and how to get the carrier's turrets to hit its own fighters. He found out how to use a TIE Bomber to engage in dogfights against rebel X-Wings. He even had the privilege of being one of the first pilots to fly the new TIE Advanced. It was one of the best fighters the Empire had to offer. It boasted speed of that beyond what the A-wing could fly, and it carried a descent missile payload to make it a threat to capital class starships.

Now Kraval was placed under the command of Colonel Hirth. The unit under Hirth's command had the task of hunting down the numerous shipyards that built the rebel star fighters. They weren't easy to find, no manufacturer would be dumb enough to have a stationary shipyard to make rebel star fighters. So naturally they made the yards mobile, capable of moving from system to system. That's what made their assignment so difficult, and what was worse was the squad had to rely on Imperial Intelligence to tell them where to go. There would be months when the squad would fly to numerous systems desperately trying to find a shipyard to blow up. Some of the time they would find yards to destroy, but other times they squad would arrive in system only to find that they had just missed catching one.

Then there were the months where the squad did nothing. Intel would have nothing to report and even though most of the squad was Force sensitive, they were only taught enough to benefit their flying skills; they weren't allowed to expand on their powers. So if they weren't out hunting for ship yards, they spent their time training or playing war games. Few of the missions they were sent on excited Kraval, most of them didn't even challenge him. The routine was always the same; you jump into the system, disable the ship yard's hyperdrive, engage the enemy starfighter defenses, and finish off the yard. The only mission that came close to excitement was when Hirth's group was hunting down a mobile yard that supposedly produced X-wings and was guarded by a corvette. The plan called for the squad to make a lighting strike and use the same tactics as always.

===Defiance and Strategy===

When Kraval's Advanced reverted to realspace he realized that Intel had screwed up again. The shipyard was where it was supposed to be, but instead of a corvette protecting it, there was a Nebulon-B Frigate picking up a shipment of starfighters. Surprise flashed through Kraval for only a second. Colonel Hirth ordered the squad to split into four groups of three pilots each which was a big tactical mistake. If the groups split like that, then it would be easy for the shipyards defending fighters and the frigate’s fighters to split them up and pick them off. Kraval realized this and, being the second in command, he ordered the squad to split into two groups of six instead. He ordered one group to attack the shipyard's hyperdrive while he took the other group to begin an assault on the capital ship. Hirth began yelling objections and threatened to court marshal Kraval and the rest of the group if they followed his lead. Which of course, they did, for they too saw the error Hirth made.

Most of the fighters that came out to defend the frigate were easy kills, the best only lasting for a few minutes. The enemy pilots had to be fresh out of an academy, they didn't execute rolls or side swipe maneuvers properly, and their firing aim was the worst Kraval had seen in years. He took care of those fighters easily enough, not a single shot landed on his shields. The station never got the chance to send off a distress signal because the second group made a quick split and destroyed the hyperdrive and the communications tower at the same time. They then regrouped and managed to destroy the station and all of its defenses within ten minutes. It was a simple task for the group, swerving in and out of the dock struts, shooting turrets and weakened hull plates. This is what Hirth's squad had trained for. [[Image:Nebulon_frigate.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Rebel Frigate ''Liberty'' protecting a mobile shipyard]]

The Nebulon-B Frigate did manage to get a signal out before their comm dish was blasted by a proton torpedo, but it made no difference on the outcome of the battle. The cruiser's attempts to protect itself were pathetic. The Advanced squad easily made quick work of the turbolaser emplacements and the missile launcher on the bottom of the ship. Realizing that most of his guns were gone, the ship's commander tried to deploy transport ships to surround the capital ship with mines. That proved useless for when the transport pilots flew out of the bay, instead of laying a mine field, they jumped for hyperspace. Dozens of missiles and laser blasts sailed through the cold vacuum of space, lancing and destroying section after section of the Rebel ship until it couldn’t hold its frame.

As the frigate broke up into a flaming wreck, the squad maneuvered to enter hyperspace. Colonel Hirth commed Kraval and told him that he and the rest of the group would be brought up on charges of disobeying orders and insubordination. Kraval had other ideas about that. He was tired of being under the command of such an arrogant fool. When they arrived back at their base on the moon of Ison, the colonel stormed up to him, his face flushed red with rage. Kraval simply smiled at the old man and formed an image in his mind, an image of a pained Hirth's on the ground. Hirth immediately froze, his body convulsing violently. Those who trained Kraval may not have wanted to further his training with the Force, but he was easily able to remember how he did it as a child. After the colonel's body hit the floor like a string-less puppet, Kraval decided that he wanted to leave the Imperial Navy and learn more about his abilities and how to control them. Without looking at his fellow squad mates, Kraval strode over to a Lambda class shuttle and took it for himself.

===Wandering and Discovery===

For a few years Kraval wandered the Corporate Sector and the Outerrim territories, hoping to find someone who could teach him in the ways of the Force. He traveled from Almania to Alzoc III, and still he had found no one. Kraval had almost given up when he felt a glimmer of power. It was faint, but he was sure he felt something. He plotted a jump in the direction he sensed the power. He had no set destination as he entered hyperspace, but it only took half a minute before Kraval felt the urge to pull back on the hyperdrive levers and snap into real space. He checked his computer's database to identify where he was. The only this he could pull up on his screen was information about the planet in front of him. A large green and brown world, the computer could not identify it. It was a planet covered almost entirely by large valleys and dangerous mountains. This intrigued Kraval, for this planet would be the perfect place for a garrison and a good place for a Force user to hide. Little did he know how right he was.

As Kraval entered the atmosphere, he turned to head towards a city. He didn't get far, for as he passed through a valley turrets appeared from the walls and began to open fire. Only his training saved him, as he got a half second warning and made a quick barrel roll to the left. The turrets began tracking him again and he took more evasive maneuvers, each move faster and more risky than the last. Somehow, the turrets managed to keep up with him, and some even shot at him before he got to a certain location. The turrets knew where he was going to go before he went there. Using his powers the best he could, Kraval stretched out his senses and discovered something very surprising about the turrets. They weren't automated as he thought, instead they were manned by people with the same abilities he had.

Kraval wondered if they could be the ones he sensed before, but didn't have much time to think about it. For that split second when he divided his attention between flying and sensing had cost him dearly. One of the turrets managed to land a shot that pierced the shuttle's shimmering blue shields and made a solid hit on the engines. Kraval was forced to switch over to repulsorlifts and make an emergency landing. Putting all the power he could afford to, Kraval struggled to keep the shuttle from smashing completely into the ground. Just as he was about to hit solid earth, his ship suddenly slowed down and made a soft landing. Kraval, not wanting to know why his ship had for no apparent reason slowed down, dashed back to the cargo area and gathered what he needed in a hurry.

===Attempted Escape===

As he opened the exit ramp, Kraval planted the single explosive on the shuttle. He knew that whoever shot him had tracked his ship all the way down to the ground. He wanted to leave a nasty surprise for those sent to investigate the ship. He set the motion sensors on the bombs and closed the ramp. He consulted his datapad and made a quick sprint in the direction of the city, for the computer said it was only five kilometers south of his current position. It wasn't even ten minutes after he left his rigged shuttle before he heard a loud explosion. Kraval turned around and saw a huge flaming plume rise into the air. He smiled and continued running, for he knew that they would soon start searching the area for him. Oddly enough, there were no search parties that he came across. He thought that it was suspicious, but he moved on, determined to reach the city.

Within a few hours, Kraval managed to reach the outskirts of the metropolis. Now the question was how was he going to get out of there? Obviously these people were hostile to outsiders and most likely weren't going to teach him in the ways of the Force. Kraval peered at his datapad again and found a section that was shaped roughly like an air field. Perfect, he thought. All he would have to do is reach that field, steal a fighter, and blast off. He knew, however, that it wouldn't be that easy. If those turrets were any indication of these people's defenses, they wouldn't be lax about the airfield.

Kraval moved through the city while avoiding attracting unnecessary attention. Fortunately, he was wearing a type of clothing that was common throughout the galaxy, a simple black vest and black pants with leather boots. He weaved in between buildings, trying to stay away from any main roads. It didn't take him long to find the airfield and it took him only a second longer to find the defenses. For an airfield holding starfighters there certainly wasn't much. Four light class AV-21 speeders were moving back and forth and up in the towers were a few guards, but other than that there seemed to be nothing else. Then again, Kraval reminded himself, he didn't see the cannons in the mountains. They may have a similar setup here, he thought, but there was one thing he was sure about. They didn't have landmines setup in the field, because the four speeders were moving across it all the time. But for all he knew there were mines there and they were programmed to recognize certain vehicles and not blow them up. Oh well, Kraval thought, there was only one way to find out.

Kraval managed to get a top of the line Seinar X-T speeder from a dealership under the pretext of taking it out for a test drive. Kraval pulled the speed to a clearing about one hundred feet from the field and checked his pack. He had a modified DL-54 blaster with three spare power packs and three sonic grenades with a special magnetic grip that activated two seconds after the grenade was turned on. He closed his bag and throttled the engine to full and shot off towards the airfield. As he approached the defense lines, he hopped that he wouldn't get blasted into a million pieces.

The defenses were slow to respond to his intrusion, because Kraval made it past the gate and was halfway to one of the pads before any forces responded. As he angled to the landing area, the other speeders attempted to get to teach side of him and put Kraval in a classic "down the middle" trap where they could just fire between themselves to hit him from both sides. Kraval, being the experienced pilot that he was, recognized the maneuver and used the speeder's boosters to zip ahead of the group. When the defenders began to move close together behind him, Kraval grabbed a sonic grenade, activated it, and tossed it high up over his shoulder. One moment he was speeding along, the next there was a medium size shock wave coursing through the air. He looked back and saw only one of the four speeders was left, it was badly damaged and turning away from him. As for the rest, he only saw melted chunks of metal.

When he was within seventy feet of the doors to the pads, two turrets suddenly popped up from the ground, their barrels swiveling to target him. Kraval began another series of evasive turns, but it did him little good. The turrets were too fast in tracking him, and he knew that if he stayed on the speeder for much longer, he was a dead man. Thinking quickly, Kraval attached his bag to the speeder and activated the last two sonic grenades, putting a ten second timer on them. He slowed the speeder down while grabbing his blaster and spare clips. As the turrets continued to fire, he jumped out the side and rolled onto the ground, putting the speeder between him and the turrets. The turrets kept shooting at the speeder, they actually managed to damage it enough to come crashing down in front of them. But the turrets didn't manage to get it to crash far enough away from them. With no warning, the two grenades went off at the same time, the resulting shockwave forced Kraval flat on the ground.

As he stood back up, he noticed that the tower guards were also stunned by the blast, and he was able to shoot them with his pistol before they got to sound an alarm. He dashed for the pads, past the charred wrecks of the turrets and into the pit where an interceptor was waiting. Breathing a sigh of relief, Kraval moved to the ship. As he got within a few feet of the fighter, he thought he saw movement at the edge of his vision. He quickly turned around and brought his pistol up. His head swayed back and forth as he searched for a target, but he saw nothing. He returned his gun to its holster and turned back to the ship. Just as he did that a figure seemed to emerge from the ship's shadow. Right off the ground this man appeared. Before Kraval could even react, the man made a simple hand gesture and Kraval felt the same shadows that the man came from engulf him.

===Dinaari===

When he awoke, Kraval was lying down in a bunk. His clothes had been changed into some sort of white robe. Still wondering where he was at, the door to the room he was in opened. A figure in a black robe stood there staring at him. After a minute or so of scrutinizing him, he motioned for Kraval to follow him. As they moved down a hall made of black obsidian stone, Kraval noticed two distinct symbols on the walls. One was a blue scythe-like shape, and the other looked like a red star gone nova. The two men reached an elevator and when they stepped inside Kraval could see no buttons to press. Instead, when the doors closed, the lift began to move upwards automatically. [[Image:Claw_of_Dinaari.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Claw of Dinaari]]

The doors of the lift re-opened and the black robed man led the way to an extremely large door. As they approached the doors opened to reveal a large office with a desk in the center of it. A man was doing computer work when the two entered. He looked up, stopped his typing, and rose from his chair. He was a man of medium height and medium build. He didn't have bulging muscles threatening to tear apart his clothes, but he wasn't skinny by any means. His face looked like it had been carved from granite, his eyes a silver gray color. His jet black hair was flattened to his head and his ears were the pointiest Kraval had ever seen. He circled Kraval and looked him over. He asked Kraval what he was doing on their planet. He replied that he wanted to learn more about the Force. The man looked suspiciously at Kraval then continued on. He mentioned the shoot down of the shuttle and the little trap that failed to kill much less hurt anyone. The men sent to check out the downed craft had sensed the trap and had used the Force to set off the bombs. The man then talked about the stolen speeder and Kraval's assault on the airfield.

Then the man did something totally unexpected. He congratulated Kraval on making it so far. Many others were put through the same trials as he was, but most never got past the cannons in the mountains. The way Kraval used the speeder bike as a bomb carrier was a good choice given the situation he was in. The man looked at Kraval one more time and then gestured to the man in the black robes. He told him to take Kraval to the Initiation Temple on Karufr. As he left the room, Kraval smiled and noticed the similarity to this situation and one he had as a child. Once again, Kraval was being led on to start his training.

===Dark Side Training===

His training was not easy, nor was it quick. He was surprised at how much he did not know. Then again, he should have realized the truth. When he was with the Imperial Navy, they didn't allow him to focus on anything else other than becoming a superior pilot. He was taught how to expand his awareness to a short range, so that in star fighter combat he could tell what his opponent was going to do. He didn't know that he could expand that awareness even farther, to the point where he could feel other beings in other sectors.

Each and every day Kraval was stunned by what he was taught. He learned how to levitate items of all shapes and all sizes. Even though he doubted it, he had seen instructors lift boulders five times their size. When Kraval tried, he found that lifting objects wasn't that hard at all. Soon he surpassed his fellow students and was moving on to other areas of training. He watched the Krath priests use the Force to empower medallions with the dark side. He saw Obelisk troops use the Force to enhance their fighting skills.

Although he was an excellent pilot, he was by far not the best. Every other day he would get into a simulator and be shot down by one of the senior fighters. Surprisingly, this didn't anger him much. He felt that he did need improvement, especially fighting against people that had the same skills as he. For too long he had fought against inferior enemies, and with each victory he had become lax. Now it was coming back to haunt him. Fortunately, it was only in the simulators that his sloppiness was occurring. With time and training, he would become better. He was determined to be one of the best pilots in the Dark Brotherhood.

Not only did he want to become the best pilot, but he also wanted to become a hand to hand combatant. It was all well and good to be a fighter pilot, but what if in combat his craft was shot down? What would happen to him then? He would be forced to fend for himself on the ground where numerous enemies would await him. He took it upon himself to go and find a trainer, and he was lucky enough to have been placed into clan Taldryan, where some of the best ground combatants are. He was placed into Dark Fire Brigade, under the leadership of Jedi Hunter Fire-Knight. From there, he learned all he needed to know about ground battles.

His first training session had been a joke. There was a huge open area where he was told to report for training, and he walked out into the clearing not suspecting a thing. He barely got a warning through the Force before a shot rang out at him and a spot of burnt grass appeared beside his foot. He looked up and saw a man with a Tenloss sniper rifle cradled in his hands. He jumped down from his spot and walked over to Kraval wearing a smug look on his face. The man introduced himself as the commander, and told Kraval that he had made the first biggest mistake anyone could make. Never walk into a clearing without looking around first, snipers love when someone does that.

His combat training only got tougher from there. Since he was in clan Taldryan, they had a long standing tradition of using the Bryars pistol in combat. It has two modes of fire, one rapid low powered shot, while the other was a slower but more powerful charge shot. Taldryan prided itself on being the only clan to have mastered that pistol, and they demanded that even the newest members become proficient in its use. Kraval was once again ordered to report to the training grounds, but this time he decided to trap his battle team leader, instead of getting trapped.

As he approached the clearing, he crouched down into the dense foliage. He knew his leader was expecting him, so instead of going into the clearing himself, he projected an image of himself walking out into the open. His leader, assuming that Kraval hadn't learned his lesson from the first incident, stood up and began charging his pistol. Kraval, however, saw him aim at the projection and snapped off a few low powered shots at his commanders mid section. As the bolts flashed towards his leader, Kraval's projection vanished into thin air. His leader spun around just in time to take the shots in front of himself. Just when the bolts looked like they were going to strike flesh, they disappeared into a wavy green field. His leader had been smart and had activated his personal shielding unit long before the fight.

No day had ever been more tiring in Kraval's life. He truly learned his physical limits on that morning. Using the Bryars pistol wasn't an easy task. Using the charged shot caused the gun to shake a bit, forcing the user to compensate for the jumpiness of the gun. Then he learned the art of using the gun in actual combat. Kraval had to jump left and right, back and forth, side to side, and whatever way he could think of to avoid getting hit. He tried to shoot back, but every time he fired he would miss his target wide. He would aim for where his target was, and then when he shot, the target would be on the other side of the field by that time.

Kraval finally got the concept that he had to attempt to predict where his target was going and shoot at that spot, instead of where the target was at that moment. Once he got that down there was very little difference from what he was doing there compared to what he did in a fighter. He learned how to adjust shots for mid-air attacks, how to move at the last minute, and how to use the momentum of a hit that would land on his shields and force him back a small distance. As soon as he became good with that weapon, he decided to train in the other commonly used weapons.

[[Image:Sniper Shot 2.jpg |thumb|250px|left|Kraval's sniper training]]

He learned how to use a heavy repeater, how to effectively use the speed shots to lay down suppressive fire. He found out that the secondary fire on that gun shot out a concussive blast that could knock enemy troops to their feet. He learned how to shot a Golan Arms FC-1 rifle. The main blast shoots out shards of medal, while the secondary shots fire two concussion balls that can bounce off walls and was handy for hitting enemies around corners. His favorite weapon, however, was the same one used by his battle team leader during their first training session. It was the Tenloss Disruptor Rifle. A perfect little weapon, it could fire semi-powerful, semi-fast shots that could do some good damage to an enemy's shields. The best feature of the rifle though was the sniper function. It was that part of the gun that had earned Kraval a spot on the Grand Masters Royal Guard. That weapon, and Kraval's excelled use of it, got the attention of his order leader, Sith High Warrior and Dark Jedi Master Gui Long, commonly known as Bloodfyre.

===Leadership===

After a while Kraval took on command of Dark Fire Brigade, Dinaari’s only battle team. Succeeding to Aedile then Quaestor of Dinaari Kraval lead the house for a brief period of time before becoming Arbiter Magistrate then Praetor to the Master at Arms. Due to the ascension of Halcyon Rokir to Deputy Grand Master Kraval was elevated to the position of Master at Arms which he currently holds.

{{quote|Why bother, your gonna die either way.|Anubis Annedu Wrath, Rollmaster}}

Anubis Annedu is currently a [[Jedi Hunter]] residing in [[House Qel-Droma]] of [[Clan Arcona]]. He has a master, like many do, during the trials of knighthood. The Hunter's master is [[Quejo Drakai Xyler]], Quaestor of Qel-Droma. The Hunter has a brother in [[House Qel-Droma|Qel-Droma’s]] sister house, [[House Galeres]]. The brother’s name is [[Talos Annedu]]. His physical description includes three cybernetic limbs, red eyes with slitted pupils, a medium build, and custom made robes for combat. He is a full-blooded [[Valheru]]. The Valheru, according to what is know of them at this time, are a lost and broken race, as not many of them remain.

== Character History ==
=== Characteristics, Personality ===
Anubis Annedu Wrath is a member of the Valheru race, and stands 5 feet and 9 inches tall. He has inherited his father’s eyes, as well as his strength and endurance. The Hunter losses his breath quickly in normal atmospheres, and is also affected by cold weather. He is a loving and caring man, but is also protective of his friends and most of all brother. He will not let any harm to come to them if possible, even his master. His ruby red eyes are able to see far distances.

=== Relatives ===
Anubis has a single living relative, currently a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, like himself. The brother, [[Talos Annedu|Talos]] looks much like his brother, preferring to keep his hair cut short, rather then long like his brother’s. Both Annedu’s are blood descendants of the powerful Sith Lord Ajunta Pall, who’s Alchemy legacy still lives through his descendants.

Besides from his living relatives, the Valheru is only related to a select few through race and the Force. One of these people is [[Draken-Korin_%27Ylith%27_Elari%C3%ABl_Atema| Ylith Atema]], a fellow Valheru. The two first met while onboard the [[VSD Covenant]], flagship of Clan Naga Sadow during the Orian Invasion. Wrath is related to his friend [[Davin Olar]] through a small Force bond and as a blood brother, and to his master, also with a Force bond.
=== Early Years ===
==== [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dantooine| Dantooine] ''Birth – 3 ABY''====

Anubis’ parents, Nikkon Annedu and Brisha Annedu, were hard working people and Jedi. The couple was always on the move, working hard to find a suitable place to live, and survive. Not long after they had married, did they have a son. They agreed to name him Anubis, seeing that the name would fit perfectly for the boy. They decided to have the boy remain with them, to teach him how to read and write. They wanted to teach him how do defend himself. Over the course of seven months, They had taught him as much as they could before something would come along. Brisha was pregnant. The two Annedu’s panicked, knowing that Anubis was a handful himself.

Nine months past, and Talos Annedu was born. Nikkon and Brisha made the hardest decisions of their Jedi careers. They decided to separate themselves and the two boys. Anubis would be sent to the Yavin Academy for Jedi training, while Talos would be sent to an orphanage across the galaxy. The Valheru couple split, leaving their sons to fend for themselves. Each was put on a shuttle to their destinations, Brisha hoping that her sons would make it to their new homes safely. [[Image:Ajunta_Pall.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Ajunta Pall, Ancient Sith Lord and Ancestor to Anubis Annedu Wrath and Talos Annedu]]

==== [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Duxn| Duxn] ''3 ABY – 13 ABY''====

Anubis was on his way to the Yavin system, when his shuttle was shot down by Mandalorian raiders. The pilots were forced to perform an emergency landing on the Onderon moon of Duxn, unwillingly. The two pilots died in the crash, with the baby Valheru still strapped into his seat. The Annedu was left in the shuttle for hours, before the Mandalorians discovered the crashed vessel. They took the boy after they ripped apart the ship, taking him back to their camp.

The Mandalorian leaders held a conference to deside whether to keep the boy, or feed him to the cannoks. Two thirds of the council voted him to remain with the small clan, the other third against it. The Valheru was adopted by a younger couple, who would later help teach him everything he needed to know about combat and honor.

As Annedu spent more time with the Mandalorians, his respect and combat prowess grew. At the age of seven, he was no longer an outcast among the Clan, but a member of it. The Valheru had already mastered two types of hand to hand combat, as well as one of the many styles of sword combat. He would train for hours on end, stopping only to use the washroom or get something to drink and eat.

At the age of eleven, he was one of the top Mandalorian’s inside the Clan. The other boys were jelous of the Valheru’s endurance. They wished to rid him of their Clan, and decided that the best way to do that was to gang up on him. The other boys offered to play with him out in the inner forrest, and the Annedu willingly accepted the offer. An hour later, they all jumped Anubis, forcing him to defend himself. He took down four of them before being taken down himself.

He was strapped to a tree, and was left for dead by the Mandalorians. The Valheru was there for five hours, before a hunting party passed through. They untied him, and led him back to the camp safely. As he entered the camp, the boys that had strapped him to the tree went white. The first one to notice him tried to make a run for it, but was quickly hunted down by the Annedu. Once he had a hold on them, he delivered punches to the Mandalorian’s face.

When Anubis finally stepped off of him, he suffered from swollen eyes, a bloody nose and a cracked jaw. As the other boys looked at the Valheru give their friend an onslaught, they turned and made a run for it. The Annedu left them be, and returned home in time for dinner. After what he did that day, none of the boys wished to ever do something like that to him again.

=== Teenage Years & Adult Years===
==== [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Duxn| Duxn] ''14 ABY - 18 ABY''====
Anubis continued his training, learning more and more as the years went by. He was an excellent combat artist, and was now moving onto pilot training. He practiced day and night, concentration solely on becoming a better pilot. When he was given access to a craft, he decided to fool around with some of the internal parts, discovering a hobby for mechanics. He fiddled around a bit, and changed the whole control setup.

The Valheru smoothly piloted that first craft, being careful not to damage the hull or burn out the engine. He was given full access to the craft a week later, and the Annedu instantly started working on it. Within what seemed like weeks to a month, he had already learned so much about mechanics, that he didn’t see the need to practice it anymore.

He went back to combat training, honing his skills with even greater precision. Anubis learned three more styles of hand to hand combat, preferring to use a sword when available. When he finally decided his training was done, he thought he’d try and have a little fun. Thinking that he could move stuff with his mind, the Annedu focused on pushing a rock forward and backward.

Wrath repeated this again and again. He decided to seek out what remained of the Jedi, remembering when he used to watch holo-vids of them and the Force. He packed his personal items, including a belt, robes, Mandalorian armour, and his personal sword. With the blessing of his adoptive parents, Anubis was given transportation to the Jedi Temple on Yavin IV.

[[Image:Jedi-Anubis.jpg|thumb|200px|right| Anubis Annedu Wrath, Jedi Padawan]]

==== [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4| Yavin IV] ''19 ABY – 23 ABY''====
Anubis traveled to the Yavin system, leaving his old life behind him. As he landed, a senior member of the Jedi Council and Jedi Knights greeted him. They asked only one question, what was his purpose of coming to Yavin IV? The Valheru told them he wished to be a Jedi Knight. The council member nodded his head, and told the Annedu to make himself at home for a few days, while the council held a meeting concerning him.

Wrath agreed to wait a few days, and take large walks around the academy. He set out for his first walk around the academy, touring it like a museum. By the time the council got to him, he had already walked the entire academy a few times. He was brought before the present council, seeing how a third of the council was out on missions, including Luke Skywalker. He walked out of those chambers a Padawan learner. The Valheru’s assigned master was Qinton Dorg, a Jedi Master. The Annedu’s time at the academy was held short, as Dorg would always assign him tasks to do, which most of them were from different planets. As he set out for his first mission, his master decided to hand him a lightsaber in case of emergencies.

For his first mission, Anubis was sent to Dantooine to investigate a large disturbance from the local mercenaries. The padawan was assigned to make sure the mercenaries ceased all disruptive activities against the local militia and farmers. The Valheru hopped into his newly acquired X-wing fighter, and primed the engines for launch. As he began to lift off, another craft blasted into the hanger nearly knocking Wrath’s own fighter off balance. The Annedu didn’t have a clue who the pilot was, but he didn’t have time to worry about that at the moment. He needed to stay focused on Dantooine and his mission. Quickly setting down the craft, Anubis reconfigured the controls to his personal taste, and took off once more.

Wrath piloted the X-wing into the cold and vast reaches of space, entering the proper Hyperspace co-ordinates into the small navi-computer. As the o.k. signal came back, Anubis made the jump to lightspeed. While sitting in the cockpit, Wrath got a little bored. He talked to his R2-X5 astromech droid for a while, when he suddenly had an idea. The Valheru asked the droid if he was able to allow Anubis into the Academy’s computers, and a solid “yes” came back. With a smile on his face, Wrath decided he’d get some sleep until they reached Dantooine.

====[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dantooine| Dantooine] ''23 ABY''====

The astromech droid woke Anubis as the X-wing exited Hyperspace, reminding him of the Academy. R2 gave the Padawan the proper access for his rank, and let the Valheru get on with his searches while he himself kept the ship in space. Wrath entered a search on the name Annedu, which returned four consecutive results a few minutes after the search had been started.

Two of the profiles were highlighted blue, while the other two were highlighted red. The names of the profiles were Nikkon Annedu, Brisha Annedu, Anubis Annedu Wrath, and Talos Annedu. The Valheru searched through the profiles of Brisha and Nikkon, which were highlighted red. They each had a parent title, and were ranked Jedi Master within the order. The Padawan stared in amazement as he discovered his parents. The recorded location of their whereabouts was currectly unknown. Anubis took a look at his own profile, to see that he was ranked Learner within the order, and that he was titled “son”. His current location was set to Dantooine, and he was guessing it was updated regularly. The last profile that remained was that of Talos Annedu. Hesitation filled the young Jedi’s mind, as he opened the file.

The first thing he looked for was title, which was labelled “son”, just like his own file. He looked in awe as he continued to read over the profile, a whole range of emotions filling his head. He calmed himself, and looked for the location of the boy. It appeared as if Talos was still at an old orphanage not to far from Dantooine.

Deciding that it would be best to get his mission completed first, Anubis slammed down the accelerator. The X-wing blasted through space, and within a minute or so was into the atmosphere. As he exited the field around the planet, his fighter suddenly shut down for no apparent reason. A slight “Uh oh” left the Valheru’s lips as the craft was thrown into a spin.

Anubis had the R2 unit assess the problem, and discovered that a key electrical cable had been severed. He grabbed a hydrospanner he had strapped to his belt, and patched it. As all systems came back online, the Padawan was able to regain control of the craft once more. Finally stabilizing the fighter, the Annedu looked for a landing pad for him to land.

After maybe ten minutes of searching, he found what he was looking for. Piloting the craft in slowly, he didn’t expect to come under fire. Anubis opened the S-foils to the craft, aware that his right engine was malfunctioning. The Valheru quickly opened a voice communication link with the local militia, telling them his reasons for being there and to cease fire immediately. The air defence tower held no response, and kept firing upon him.

Anubis became very frustrated, his piloting becoming sloppy. As the defence tower discharged a large ball of energy, Wrath accidentally hit the accelerator, blasting right into the ball of energy. It ripped apart the right wing, and even reached the cockpit. Tearing through the metal, it amputated most of the Valheru’s right arm as well. The fighter went into a spin towards the ground, crashing in a shallow river.
[[Image:Anubis.closeup.jpg|thumb|200px|left| Anubis Annedu Wrath, During His Fall to The Dark Side]]

Anubis passed out from the large hit, and was found an hour later by scouting teams. He was brought to the medical center, where he awoke with his arm bandaged. They were about to attach a cybernetic arm, but the stubborn Annedu refused to have their model attached. When they asked what he wanted, he told them he would design his own.

Quickly drawing up the plans for his new arm, it was attached a few hours later. He asked to speak with the Militia’s head of command, and was given the privilege of so. The two men met in the old military headquarters, and sat down to talk. Anubis bombarded the man with questions, which few were answered. The head of command told him that the mercenaries were located east of their location, and were packed with all types of ammunition.

Wrath asked for the access codes to the speeder out front, so that he may use it to travel to the camp. The codes were given, and the Annedu was soon on his way. After a thirty minute ride to the mercenary camp, Anubis got off of the speeder. He wasn’t greeted with open arms, and was ordered to leave immediately. The Valheru smiled, and told them that unless they stopped hurting innocents, he wasn’t going anywhere.

Blaster fire from one of them erupted into the air, directly at the Padawan. Saber drawn, Anubis deflected the bolts back at its starting point, killing the man. The other five mercenaries grabbed their swords, and tried attacking the Jedi. Wrath taunted them, slicing apart their weapons with total ease, killing a few of them in the process. With only two of them left, the Annedu decided it was time to use his hand to hand combat skills.

The first one charged with his hands ready to strike. As he took a swipe at Anubis, his heart stopped as Wrath crushed the man’s heart in a single yet perfectly aligned and strengthened blow. The other one looked at the Valheru like a creep, and got onto the nearest speeder as fast as he could as he didn’t want to be next.

Anubis sighed after he looked at all of the bodies. He hadn’t wanted to kill all of those men, but it felt somewhat refreshing to him. The Annedu got back onto the speeder he came by, and returned to the militia headquarters. When he arrived, the building had been nearly half destroyed. Wrath looked about, trying to figure out what could have done this, when twenty men stepped out from behind the wall, each with blasters.

The Padawan accelerated, trying to steer clear of the men. Unfortunately for him, they had already seen him approach. The Valheru continued to speed up, trying to close the gap between him and the closest starfighter. He was fired on repeatedly, and was forced to jump off the speeder when he reached the fighters.

Wrath quickly got into one of the fighters, trying to make sure the enemies didn’t know which one he was in until it was too late to stop him. With some luck, the fighter he picked had the engines primed and ready for take off when he arrived. Anubis grabbed the controls, and quickly took off. Within a few seconds, he was already over a kilometre away from the place where he had taken the fighter.

Anubis returned home to the Jedi Academy, to find that his master himself had gone out on an important mission. Feeling a little lonely, Wrath decided to make a trip to the orphanage where his brother Talos was last seen. He didn’t know what to expect, really. Wrath hopped into the E-wing he had taken from Dantooine, and primed the engines for launch.

A few minutes later he was outside the atmosphere, and was entering the proper hyperspace coordinates into the navi-computer. As the o.k. was given from the computer, the Valheru made the jump to lightspeed. It was a long and boring ride, and the Padawan hadn’t eaten in a while.

==== The Orphanage ''23 ABY''====

Anubis exited Hyperspace, the Hyperdrive fading into a low hum. Wrath blasted the accelerator forward, the E-wing instantly firing off. The Valheru flew to the nearby planet, scounting the large surface for any sign of the orphanage in which Talos was last known to be a part off.

After seven long hours of scouting the surface of the planet looking for the building, it appeared out west from his cockpit view. The Padawan turned the fighter, flying in the general direction of the orphanage. As he neared the building, the computer built inside the E-wing started repeating the words “missile lock’’.

Anubis cussed as two large missiles approached him from the right. The Annedu threw the craft into a barrel roll, hoping to have the two missiles come into contact with one another and explode. The plan failed however, as one of the missiles sped up for no apparent reason. Wrath threw the craft into overdrive, pushing the Ion engines to their absolute max.

If he was correct, he had close to thirty more seconds before the engines would explode, and kill Anubis. The Valheru angled the fighter toward the ground at a decent angle, hoping to get in close enough that he could jump off and survive. When he opened the canopy however, the craft was thrown into a continuous backfill.
[[Image:Anubisarmor.jpg|thumb|200px|right| Anubis Annedu Wrath's Prototype Armor]]

The Padawan tried his best to stay on, as he was tossed over to one of the wings. Soon, he would be wrenched from the wing, and thrown down to the forest below. No matter how hard he strived to remain on the wing, the force would still try and rip his hands from it. After ten more seconds, the Valheru was tossed from the fighter.

He was glad he had put on the parachute while inside the cockpit. As the cord was pulled, he slowly fell to the planet below. Wrath angled the parachute to the Orphanage, trying to make sure that he wouldn’t have to hike on foot for very long.

Anubis waited ten minutes, and started to land in a densely populated forest. The chute got caught in a treww, and the Padawan reached for his lightsaber which was mysteriously missing. He had probably just left it in the cockpit of the E-wing. The Valheru was forced to wiggle himself out of the parachute.

When he finally got to the orphanage after an hour of hiking, he was greeted by the orphanages leader, George Kane, who asked the reasoning behing the Valheru’s visit. Wrath said that he was looking for his brother Talos Annedu, and was invited inside for some discussion.

The two walked and talked for a long period of time, as the Annedu was filled in on most of Talos’ life, until the age of thirteen. When he asked which room the brother was located in, the reply angered him beyond anything before. They threw Talos out of the front door when he was thirteen.

Anubis clenched his teeth, and stopped. He asked why he was forced out, and the only reply was
“We hated him”. Wrath lost it. The Valheru left Kane for his business, and went to cool off. To his amazement, they even had a lightsaber on display. Calling the weapon to him, the Padawan placed it on his belt, the dark hilt clipping perfectly to his belt. As he stood there, he made one of the biggest decisions of his life. He looked for George, who was playing with some of the older orphans.

He had asked the Valheru what he was doing with the weapon, and the last thing that was heard from that room was the sound of a lightsaber igniting. After leaving the orphanage, Anubis knew he could only return to the academy to retrieve some personal belongings of his. He did so, finding an old shuttle stored away behind the orphanage.

After returning to the Jedi Academy on Yavin IV, Wrath was forced to leave. He was on his way to falling to the Dark Side of the Force, and he knew he could only achieve power. He would travel to many other systems in search of the power he sought, never discovering anything. Upon reaching [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ryloth Ryloth], he discovered a Sith Academy, still relitively intact...for the most part.

==== Ryloth ''23 ABY - 24 ABY'' ====

He studied the intact artifacts and weapons, learning of arachic designs of the first lightsabers, swords, and some techniques of the Dark Side. He remained there for another year, training and training and training until he couldn't take it anymore. He fled Rlyoth, seeking to return to Yavin IV to become a Jedi Knight once more. He wasn't so lucky though.

==== Yavin IV ''24 ABY'' ====
Anubis did indeed return to Yavin IV, but all he saw were old buildings, most of which had been raided and destroyed. The Jedi Knights of Yavin IV had seemed to dissapear. Maybe they moved to another side of the moon, maybe they didn't. The Valheru was sure though, that they wern't where he left them.

After studying the attacks on the temple, the Annedu had come to the conclusion that it was Stormtroopers that had attacked the Academy, probably out of lust for the death of their precious emperor, who was murdered twenty-four years before that. The only thing that crossed his mind was the word 'fools', as he knew that some day the Jedi Knights would return to these temples and rebuild them to their former glory.

Was Anubis making a mistake, trying to turn from the Dark Side? Nobody could answer that question properly...not even the Valheru himself. As time would prove over and over as he searched for the Jedi, he wasn't meant for the Light. The Annedu retaliated, seeking to strip himself of the Force. He searched across the galaxy for someone to complete this task for him, yet nobody posessed the right skill.
[[Image:Lenna_Annedu-Sconn.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Lenna Annedu-Sconn, wife to Anubis Annedu Xyler]]

==== Traveling ''24 ABY - 26 ABY'' ====
After a year of traveling, the Sith finally gave up. He accepted the fact that he was a member of the Dark Side, and finally got used to it. He would no longer wish he was dead, nor try to murder himself. He would live on, carrying on the memory of his parents inside his bloodstream. Also finding it hard to believe that he, a Sith, was born from Jedi parents, he eventually let it pass.

As he walked into a Coruscant bar, he was immediately told by the bartender to leave, for his actions yesterday. When Anubis had asked what he was talking about, everybody in the bar had told him that a man in his twenties that looked exactly like him, had been through here the day before. The Valheru's mind suddenly flew back to Talos, whom he had not thought about in years.

Questioning the patrons of the bar, the Annedu was able to discover the path that his younger brother had been taking. When he heard the planet name, Dantooine, he knew instantly where to go. Stealing the ignition codes to a light transport, Anubis flew to Dantooine with all the haste he was able to muster.

Once again, he had arrived to late. The Valheru cursed, so irritated that he slaughtered the men that had given him his desired information. The next location was the [[Antei| Antei System]], to a moon called [[Lyspair]] where an aparent [[Shadow Academy]] had been formed, for Dark Jedi. This was an opportunity for the Valheru, and he took it as quickly as possible.

=== [[Clan Taldryan]] ===
[[Image:Tal-logo.jpg|thumb|75px|left]]
Anubis Wrath has been in two [[clan]]s, one of them being [[Clan Taldryan]]. The Valheru was placed in this clan upon joining the Brotherhood, and remained there for a time. He bonded with five different members of the clan, and had a good time. He was placed in [[House Ektrosis]], or Ekky as they called it. Wrath's first [[Quaestor]] was [[Hel-Pa Sklib]], refered to Sklib. Sklib and the [[House Summit|summit]] helped him through the ranks to [[Novice]], before he transfered over to [[House Archanis|Archanis]]. Archanis was great, and he made newer friends. One of these friends was very annoying, but he just blocked it out. [[Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya|Crix]] was the reigning Quaestor and the two had little trouble getting along. Anubis was still present as a member of Clan Taldryan when the War against the Vong had started.

=== [[Eighth Great Jedi War]] ===
The Eighth Great Jedi War was a fierce battle between the DJB and the Vong. It ravaged Antei, Lyspair, and the surrounding systems. The Vong struck from nowhere, attacking the Clan fleets aggressively. It wasn't long before the Brotherhood Clan's retreated their fleets to Antei, hoping to remain safe. The Vong would have none of it, and forced the fleets into the shroud. Anubis fought with Taldryan, making sure that they would remain strong. The ''[[VSD Dark Prophet|Dark Prophet]]'', one of the larger vessels of Taldryan, was one of the first vessels to go down, many of it's crew were killed. The Valheru lost his right arm while fighting Vong aboard the ''Prophet'', and barely made it off the ship alive. Retreating to the ''[[VEN Katarn|Katarn]]'', Anubis helped the ship recover slowly. Until the final battle at Antei, Wrath was a strong supporter of Taldryan. He had doubts when the [[Braata Option]] came into play, and the clans retreated to their home systems. After the war had come to a stand still and the clans had returned home, the Valheru left Clan Taldryan, and moved on to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== [[Clan Naga Sadow]] ===
[[Image:Cns-logo.jpg|thumb|75px|left]] Anubis joined [[Clan Naga Sadow]] shortly after the 8th Great Jedi War, becoming a member of House Ludo Kressh, referred to as HLK. He joined the [[Master-Student Program]], referred to as the MSP, and was given [[AED]] Horus Black-Heart as his master. Horus taught Wrath to hone his combat skills, and enlighten him on defense strategies. The AED would not remain his master for long though, as he requested a different master. The request was approved, and he was given QUA [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]]. Ashia helped him through the trials, and watched Anubis prove himself during the Invasion of Orian.

The True Brotherhood had invaded the [[Orian system]], home to CNS. Sadowites retaliated, forcing the TB off of most of the planets. Wrath fought on the front lines in the Battle of Tarthos, along side his friends, a Zabrak named [[Syrus Korodin|Shuang Long]], and a Miraluka named [[Nero Pennant]]. The three led Naga Sadow forces to victory, while [[Shan Long]] boarded the ''Dark Fusion'', flagship of the TB. Anubis lost his lower left leg when Nero accidentally cut it off. The Valheru made a temporary one after his flesh leg was removed from his body. Shan managed to take control of the ''[[Dark Fusion]]'', and had it renamed ''[[VSDII Orian Legacy|Orian Legacy]]''.

=== [[Clan Arcona]] ===

[[Image:Carc-logo.jpg|thumb|75px|left]]Anubis joined Clan Arcona, a hopeful. The Hunter decided to join [[House Qel-Droma]], because he remembered the Quaestor, [[Quejo Drakai Xyler| Quejo]] from Clan Naga Sadow. Before he left for Arcona, Quejo was the reigning [[House Marka Ragnos]] [[Quaestor]]. Wrath within his first two weeks of joining the new clan, was offered the chance to serve as the [[Rollmaster]] for his house. The Valheru gladly accepted the position, knowing that it would help him out in the long run. He controls the Master Student program for the house, and gets the new members on their feet.

Soon after his ascention to Rollmaster, Quejo offered to take on Anubis as his apprentice. Once again, the Valheru gladly accepted. The two trained regularly, preparing Wrath for Knighthood. Wrath discovered that Talos was also a member of Arcona, and approached him as a hooded figure. The two met, and have been bonding ever since. Around a month into Annedu’s time as a member of Arcona, House Qel-Droma declared war on the Jedi Knights of Eclipse Station. During the attack, the members of [[House Galeres]] vowed to stop the madman of a Quaestor, Quejo. War broke out between the two, and so Anubis and Talos were forced to pit battle against each other. After the Feud, each brother gave their sorries, promising never to fight like that again. They crossed their lightsabers, swearing an oath to each other upon this.

==== Love ====
A time had come, when the Hunter had become lonely. He decided it was time for a small vactation, and took it to Tatooine. During his time there, he met a young women around his age, Human, named Lenna Sconn. She had instantly gotten along with the Valheru, and the two promised to meet again sometime. That time would be the very next day. After a week, Anubis had spent so much time with Lenna that that they knew what the other was going to say, before they were going to say it. On a single occasion, the two had gotten intoxicated, and spent the night together.

By the time each awoke, they knew what had happened, and they wern't shammed about it. They continued to spend more time together, until the Rollmaster's vacation had come to an end. As he placed his bags inside his TIE Hunter, the [[Striker 1| Striker I]], he felt the sudden urge to see her one last time. He knew exactly where to look, too. They met in the local cantina, to which they had first met. At the first sight of each other, they kissed. At the exact same time, both asked the other to marry them, and both accepted.

==== The Return Home ====
Anubis and Lenna wed on Tatooine, with Lenna taking the name Lenna Annedu-Sconn. Unknown by Anubis at the time, but Lenna was actually a lightsaber wielder, and a master at dual wielding. It astonished the Valheru when he discovered it. As the Annedu brought her back to the Qel-Droma base, they were both greeted by Quejo, who was quite interested to know of the marriage. Anubis explained what had happened, and Drakai let out a single nod, leaving the two lovers to get settled in to a set of bigger quarters, thanks to the help of the Quaestor.

Now settled into their new room, it didn't take long for Lenna to realize that she could no longer hide her identity as a lightsaber wielder. Revieling her silver blades, all she asked for was forgiveness. The Valheru gave her more then forgiveness. He also promised that no matter the cause, nothing would come between the two. He had a single request from his darling wife. To have her teach him the ways of mastery in lightsaber combat. Lenna gladly accepted, taking on her husband as a combat apprentice, while he took her on as a Force apprentice...
}}

== The Xyler Family ==
Around a month or two after joining his newfound clan, [[Clan Arcona]], Anubis and his brother [[Talos Annedu]] were invited into the [[Xylers|Xyler]] family, by friend and [[Quaestor]], [[Quejo Drakai Xyler]], also known as the [[Rollmaster|Rollmaster's]] master. He was given the Xyler name, and was invited to Castle Gothengromer, the Xyler homestead along with his brother, for a welcoming into the family.
[[Image:Castle_gothengromer.jpg|thumb|left| Castle Gothengromer, The [[Xylers|Xyler]] Homestead]]

The current family members welcomed the newer ones, inviting them to drinks and such. By the end of the day, Talos and Anubis had settled in, and they would remain there for a few more days before returning the the Qel-Droma Temple. It wasn't long ago that they were initiated into the family, becoming members of the Xyler family and taking the name, wearing it proudly.
 
== Personal Weapons ==
=== Sorrow ===
[[Image:Anubis-Dagger.jpg|thumb|130px|right| Sorrow]]
Sorrow was one of Anubis Annedu Xyler's favourite melee weapons, mostly becacause of it's razor sharp look and the fact that it was easily portable. The dagger fell into the Valheru's hands by murder actually. The Xyler had been on a mission for his master, [[Quejo Drakai Xyler]], to locate and destroy the leader of a pirate cell. It wasn't easily, but after around a month he had a locked location on the target. Taking with him half of the Qel-Droman fleet, the Valheru sought out and did his best to destroy the target. He finished the leader off himself, slitting his throat with his own dagger, which the Annedu later took for himself, naming it Sorrow. 
=== Sharpnel ===
[[Image:Anubis-Sword.jpg|thumb|130px|right| Sharpnel]]
Named because of it's razor sharp blade, Sharpnel is probably the Annedu's second favourite close range combat weapon, the first being Sorrow (see above). Sharpnel was constructed by Anubis during his first month in Arcona, to practically replace Sorrow, but the Hunter couldn't bring himself to do it. He instead kept both weapons, as a sign that if you get to close, your going to have to start running. The blade is customly forged, while the hilt was removed from a sword that the Valheru already possessed. It is rarely used, and is instead kept in a protective case on display in the Rollmaster's quarters. 
=== Umethar ===
[[Image:Anubis-Dagger2.jpg|thumb|130px|right| Umethar]]
Umethar was one of Anubis' last weapons given to him. It was a gift from his wife Lenna Annedu-Sconn, as a honeymoon present. He's held onto it since, carrying it into battle or training sessions wherever he is, or going. It almost never leaves his side, and is stored in a special Plasteel pouch designed to hold the blade without being destroyed or wreaked. The knife is about a month old now, serving it's owner well in practice excersises against his master, and real combat situations and training.

== Armory ==
Anubis Annedu keeps a fully stocked armory kept inside his Quarters on the BAC Shadow. It has a arrange of carbines, rifles, melee weapons, gernades, armor and of course ammunition. Basically an armory big enough to be used as Prophecy Phyle's armory, its home to the Valheru's prototype armor, currently under testing. Anubis bought all of the supplies for his armor, by selling off some of his own personal designs of electrical equipment and weapons to rig in some serious credits, for spending in secret.

=== Prototype Armor ===
Anubis' prototype armor is comprised of:
*Titanium Alloy
*Mandalorian Steel
*Durasteel Alloy
*Plasteel

It has many features that are included both inside and outside the suit, making it the state of the arc combat suit around. It looks like Mandalorian armor, because Anubis designed it in such a way that it would hint all of his Mandalorian training upon Duxn. Still a prototype, many systems still need to be tested and added, bringing the price of the armor forever rising. A lot of the credits that the Annedu still makes goes towards the suit, besides the money for food.

The systems for the head region include:
*DH107 Comlink
*Helmet Computer
*MFTAS System
*Data Jacks (for computer)
*Sensors

The systems and suit attachments for the chest/arm region include:
*Sensors
*Blaster Cannons (forearm mounted)

The systems for the leg region include:
*Servomotors
*Module Rigs

The comlink, helmet computer, sensors, blaster cannons, and module rigs are all designed by Anubis, who spent months on the design of the suit, as well as the credits to buy each component.

I am back, and am reconstructing my wiki article. --[[User:Anubis Wrath|Anubis Wrath]] 23:21, 20 November 2007 (MST)

Could one of the staff leave some in-put? --[[User:Anubis Wrath|Anubis]] 21:44, 17 December 2007 (MST)

Added links. --[[User:Anubis Wrath|Anubis]] 15:50, 31 December 2007 (MST)

Placing article under construction again. Took a look at the Featured Article comments, and deciding to take action. Thanks to the staff for their contributions on the Featured Article page. --[[User:Anubis Wrath|Anubis]] 11:01, 4 January 2008 (MST)

== Species ==

Please remove your character from Valheru, we agreed to that. Thanks

--[[User:Ylith Romanae|Ylith Romanae]] 10:58, 11 January 2008 (MST)

Once a species is approved as custom the rules explicitly state that it is now free for any DB member to use. From what I understand, Anubis wasn't aware of that fact until recently so anything he agreed to would have been without that knowledge. If he wants to use the species he's well within his rights to do so. --[[User:Shadow Taldrya|Shadow Taldrya]] 17:13, 11 January 2008 (MST)

The author of the species hold the rights to prevent people from using it when it isnt meant to be used. Simple as that.
--[[User:Ylith Romanae|Ylith Romanae]] 19:56, 11 January 2008 (MST)

Err...no they don't, actually. If you wish to have a custom species used within the DB, then it is "open" for anyone who wishes to use it. However, if someone isn't really following the basics of what that species is, then asking them to make it more in-line is fine. But anyone can use a custom species--[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] 20:06, 11 January 2008 (MST)

Well, there should be a protection against it. I dont want apprentice numbnut taking my species and turning it into rabbits or the like. Besides, he has left our clan and defiled our name and I dont like it when he uses my species. I told him on IRC that I would prefer it removed and he agreed to it, I still have the logs to prove it if needed. But I do hope it does not have to come to that. --[[User:Ylith Romanae|Ylith Romanae]] 20:16, 11 January 2008 (MST)

You actually just said "defiled our name". --[[Xayun]]

It was late and all, doesnt change the point that I dont want him using my species...I worked over a year to get it approved and I dont want him to ruin it. thats the whole story really.. --[[User:Ylith Romanae|Ylith Romanae]] 06:30, 12 January 2008 (MST)

Hey, retard. Yes you Ylith. You've spoken to me time after time after time about how hard you worked on it, and I've even seen some of the work. You should know by now that I wouldn't screw around with it for the world. Valheru is a kick ass race. As Shad and Halc said, the DB rules state that once a custom race is approved, anyone can use it. Now, if you wish to discuss something like this, do it with the staff or me on some other page or on IRC. If I get hassled any more I'll go to Mejas and Sashar about this. I don't want my talk page as a war zone. Also, thanks to Halc, Shad, and whoever on the heads up.--[[User:Anubis Wrath|Anubis]] 12:19, 12 January 2008 (MST)

Okay, let’s simmer down her e people :P

Ylith, regardless of what Anubis said on IRC, this doesn’t mean you can dictate loopholes on DB policy that’s been established. If you want to be a Valheru, then you have to understand that you can’t be the *only* Valheru – to assume otherwise would be petty. Nobody’s questioning how much you worked to establish this, but why put all the work in if not to share with the rest of the DB so others could enjoy it? Come on man, you’re better than that.
And Anubis, don’t sling insults on the talk pages, it doesn’t exactly strengthen your case. - [[Sashar]] 12 Jan, 2008. 8.33pm GMT

The most amusing part, I think, is the fact that you're acting as if you didn't just take the Valheru from Raymond E. Feist novels :P --[[User:Xayun|Reality]]

Alright, Dash you're right. Anubis I am sorry I overreacted, it was my bad and you can use it the way you want. As for Xayun, yes, I did built my species off of the Valheru from Raymond E Feist but after all the changes I have made to fit the Star Wars universe it is nowhere close to them anymore. Anyway, Anubis, I apologize for my behaviour and will help you whenever you need it. --[[User:Ylith Romanae|Ylith Romanae]] 04:58, 13 January 2008 (MST)

I'm sorry as well, Ylith. Thanks for the help offer, too. --[[User:Anubis Wrath|Anubis]] 13:28, 13 January 2008 (MST)

{{quote|Why bother, your gonna die either way.|Anubis Annedu Wrath, Rollmaster}}

Anubis Annedu Xyler is currently a [[Jedi Hunter]] residing in [[House Qel-Droma]] of [[Clan Arcona]]. He has a master, like many do, during the trials of knighthood. The Hunter's master is [[Quejo Drakai Xyler]], Quaestor of Qel-Droma. The Hunter has a brother in [[House Qel-Droma|Qel-Droma’s]] sister house, [[House Galeres]]. The brother’s name is [[Talos Annedu]]. His physical description includes three cybernetic limbs, red eyes with slitted pupils, a medium build, and custom made robes for combat. He is a full-blooded [[Valheru]]. The Valheru, according to what is know of them at this time, are a lost and broken race, as not many of them remain.

== Character History ==
=== Characteristics, Personality ===
Anubis Annedu Wrath is a member of the Valheru race, and stands 5 feet and 9 inches tall. He has inherited his father’s eyes, as well as his strength and endurance. The Hunter losses his breath quickly in normal atmospheres, and is also affected by cold weather. He is a loving and caring man, but is also protective of his friends and most of all brother. He will not let any harm to come to them if possible, even his master. His ruby red eyes are able to see far distances.

=== Relatives ===
Anubis has a single living relative, currently a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, like himself. The brother, [[Talos Annedu|Talos]] looks much like his brother, preferring to keep his hair cut short, rather then long like his brother’s. Both Annedu’s are blood descendants of the powerful Sith Lord Ajunta Pall, who’s Alchemy legacy still lives through his descendants.

Besides from his living relatives, the Valheru is only related to a select few through race and the Force. One of these people is [[Draken-Korin_%27Ylith%27_Elari%C3%ABl_Atema| Ylith Atema]], a fellow Valheru. The two first met while onboard the [[VSD Covenant]], flagship of Clan Naga Sadow during the Orian Invasion. Wrath is related to his friend [[Davin Olar]] through a small Force bond and as a blood brother, and to his master, also with a Force bond.
=== Early Years ===
==== [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dantooine| Dantooine] ''Birth – 3 ABY''====

Anubis’ parents, Nikkon Annedu and Brisha Annedu, were hard working people and Jedi. The couple was always on the move, working hard to find a suitable place to live, and survive. Not long after they had married, did they have a son. They agreed to name him Anubis, seeing that the name would fit perfectly for the boy. They decided to have the boy remain with them, to teach him how to read and write. They wanted to teach him how do defend himself. Over the course of seven months, They had taught him as much as they could before something would come along. Brisha was pregnant. The two Annedu’s panicked, knowing that Anubis was a handful himself.

Nine months past, and Talos Annedu was born. Nikkon and Brisha made the hardest decisions of their Jedi careers. They decided to separate themselves and the two boys. Anubis would be sent to the Yavin Academy for Jedi training, while Talos would be sent to an orphanage across the galaxy. The Valheru couple split, leaving their sons to fend for themselves. Each was put on a shuttle to their destinations, Brisha hoping that her sons would make it to their new homes safely. [[Image:Ajunta_Pall.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Ajunta Pall, Ancient Sith Lord and Ancestor to Anubis Annedu Wrath and Talos Annedu]]

==== [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Duxn| Duxn] ''3 ABY – 13 ABY''====

Anubis was on his way to the Yavin system, when his shuttle was shot down by Mandalorian raiders. The pilots were forced to perform an emergency landing on the Onderon moon of Duxn, unwillingly. The two pilots died in the crash, with the baby Valheru still strapped into his seat. The Annedu was left in the shuttle for hours, before the Mandalorians discovered the crashed vessel. They took the boy after they ripped apart the ship, taking him back to their camp.

The Mandalorian leaders held a conference to deside whether to keep the boy, or feed him to the cannoks. Two thirds of the council voted him to remain with the small clan, the other third against it. The Valheru was adopted by a younger couple, who would later help teach him everything he needed to know about combat and honor.

As Annedu spent more time with the Mandalorians, his respect and combat prowess grew. At the age of seven, he was no longer an outcast among the Clan, but a member of it. The Valheru had already mastered two types of hand to hand combat, as well as one of the many styles of sword combat. He would train for hours on end, stopping only to use the washroom or get something to drink and eat.

At the age of eleven, he was one of the top Mandalorian’s inside the Clan. The other boys were jelous of the Valheru’s endurance. They wished to rid him of their Clan, and decided that the best way to do that was to gang up on him. The other boys offered to play with him out in the inner forrest, and the Annedu willingly accepted the offer. An hour later, they all jumped Anubis, forcing him to defend himself. He took down four of them before being taken down himself.

He was strapped to a tree, and was left for dead by the Mandalorians. The Valheru was there for five hours, before a hunting party passed through. They untied him, and led him back to the camp safely. As he entered the camp, the boys that had strapped him to the tree went white. The first one to notice him tried to make a run for it, but was quickly hunted down by the Annedu. Once he had a hold on them, he delivered punches to the Mandalorian’s face.

When Anubis finally stepped off of him, he suffered from swollen eyes, a bloody nose and a cracked jaw. As the other boys looked at the Valheru give their friend an onslaught, they turned and made a run for it. The Annedu left them be, and returned home in time for dinner. After what he did that day, none of the boys wished to ever do something like that to him again.

=== Teenage Years & Adult Years===
==== [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Duxn| Duxn] ''14 ABY - 18 ABY''====
Anubis continued his training, learning more and more as the years went by. He was an excellent combat artist, and was now moving onto pilot training. He practiced day and night, concentration solely on becoming a better pilot. When he was given access to a craft, he decided to fool around with some of the internal parts, discovering a hobby for mechanics. He fiddled around a bit, and changed the whole control setup.

The Valheru smoothly piloted that first craft, being careful not to damage the hull or burn out the engine. He was given full access to the craft a week later, and the Annedu instantly started working on it. Within what seemed like weeks to a month, he had already learned so much about mechanics, that he didn’t see the need to practice it anymore.

He went back to combat training, honing his skills with even greater precision. Anubis learned three more styles of hand to hand combat, preferring to use a sword when available. When he finally decided his training was done, he thought he’d try and have a little fun. Thinking that he could move stuff with his mind, the Annedu focused on pushing a rock forward and backward.

Wrath repeated this again and again. He decided to seek out what remained of the Jedi, remembering when he used to watch holo-vids of them and the Force. He packed his personal items, including a belt, robes, Mandalorian armour, and his personal sword. With the blessing of his adoptive parents, Anubis was given transportation to the Jedi Temple on Yavin IV.

[[Image:Jedi-Anubis.jpg|thumb|200px|right| Anubis Annedu Wrath, Jedi Padawan]]

==== [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4| Yavin IV] ''19 ABY – 23 ABY''====
Anubis traveled to the Yavin system, leaving his old life behind him. As he landed, a senior member of the Jedi Council and Jedi Knights greeted him. They asked only one question, what was his purpose of coming to Yavin IV? The Valheru told them he wished to be a Jedi Knight. The council member nodded his head, and told the Annedu to make himself at home for a few days, while the council held a meeting concerning him.

Wrath agreed to wait a few days, and take large walks around the academy. He set out for his first walk around the academy, touring it like a museum. By the time the council got to him, he had already walked the entire academy a few times. He was brought before the present council, seeing how a third of the council was out on missions, including Luke Skywalker. He walked out of those chambers a Padawan learner. The Valheru’s assigned master was Qinton Dorg, a Jedi Master. The Annedu’s time at the academy was held short, as Dorg would always assign him tasks to do, which most of them were from different planets. As he set out for his first mission, his master decided to hand him a lightsaber in case of emergencies.

For his first mission, Anubis was sent to Dantooine to investigate a large disturbance from the local mercenaries. The padawan was assigned to make sure the mercenaries ceased all disruptive activities against the local militia and farmers. The Valheru hopped into his newly acquired X-wing fighter, and primed the engines for launch. As he began to lift off, another craft blasted into the hanger nearly knocking Wrath’s own fighter off balance. The Annedu didn’t have a clue who the pilot was, but he didn’t have time to worry about that at the moment. He needed to stay focused on Dantooine and his mission. Quickly setting down the craft, Anubis reconfigured the controls to his personal taste, and took off once more.

Wrath piloted the X-wing into the cold and vast reaches of space, entering the proper Hyperspace co-ordinates into the small navi-computer. As the o.k. signal came back, Anubis made the jump to lightspeed. While sitting in the cockpit, Wrath got a little bored. He talked to his R2-X5 astromech droid for a while, when he suddenly had an idea. The Valheru asked the droid if he was able to allow Anubis into the Academy’s computers, and a solid “yes” came back. With a smile on his face, Wrath decided he’d get some sleep until they reached Dantooine.

====[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dantooine| Dantooine] ''23 ABY''====

The astromech droid woke Anubis as the X-wing exited Hyperspace, reminding him of the Academy. R2 gave the Padawan the proper access for his rank, and let the Valheru get on with his searches while he himself kept the ship in space. Wrath entered a search on the name Annedu, which returned four consecutive results a few minutes after the search had been started.

Two of the profiles were highlighted blue, while the other two were highlighted red. The names of the profiles were Nikkon Annedu, Brisha Annedu, Anubis Annedu Wrath, and Talos Annedu. The Valheru searched through the profiles of Brisha and Nikkon, which were highlighted red. They each had a parent title, and were ranked Jedi Master within the order. The Padawan stared in amazement as he discovered his parents. The recorded location of their whereabouts was currectly unknown. Anubis took a look at his own profile, to see that he was ranked Learner within the order, and that he was titled “son”. His current location was set to Dantooine, and he was guessing it was updated regularly. The last profile that remained was that of Talos Annedu. Hesitation filled the young Jedi’s mind, as he opened the file.

The first thing he looked for was title, which was labelled “son”, just like his own file. He looked in awe as he continued to read over the profile, a whole range of emotions filling his head. He calmed himself, and looked for the location of the boy. It appeared as if Talos was still at an old orphanage not to far from Dantooine.

Deciding that it would be best to get his mission completed first, Anubis slammed down the accelerator. The X-wing blasted through space, and within a minute or so was into the atmosphere. As he exited the field around the planet, his fighter suddenly shut down for no apparent reason. A slight “Uh oh” left the Valheru’s lips as the craft was thrown into a spin.

Anubis had the R2 unit assess the problem, and discovered that a key electrical cable had been severed. He grabbed a hydrospanner he had strapped to his belt, and patched it. As all systems came back online, the Padawan was able to regain control of the craft once more. Finally stabilizing the fighter, the Annedu looked for a landing pad for him to land.

After maybe ten minutes of searching, he found what he was looking for. Piloting the craft in slowly, he didn’t expect to come under fire. Anubis opened the S-foils to the craft, aware that his right engine was malfunctioning. The Valheru quickly opened a voice communication link with the local militia, telling them his reasons for being there and to cease fire immediately. The air defence tower held no response, and kept firing upon him.

Anubis became very frustrated, his piloting becoming sloppy. As the defence tower discharged a large ball of energy, Wrath accidentally hit the accelerator, blasting right into the ball of energy. It ripped apart the right wing, and even reached the cockpit. Tearing through the metal, it amputated most of the Valheru’s right arm as well. The fighter went into a spin towards the ground, crashing in a shallow river.

Anubis passed out from the large hit, and was found an hour later by scouting teams. He was brought to the medical center, where he awoke with his arm bandaged. They were about to attach a cybernetic arm, but the stubborn Annedu refused to have their model attached. When they asked what he wanted, he told them he would design his own.

Quickly drawing up the plans for his new arm, it was attached a few hours later. He asked to speak with the Militia’s head of command, and was given the privilege of so. The two men met in the old military headquarters, and sat down to talk. Anubis bombarded the man with questions, which few were answered. The head of command told him that the mercenaries were located east of their location, and were packed with all types of ammunition.

Wrath asked for the access codes to the speeder out front, so that he may use it to travel to the camp. The codes were given, and the Annedu was soon on his way. After a thirty minute ride to the mercenary camp, Anubis got off of the speeder. He wasn’t greeted with open arms, and was ordered to leave immediately. The Valheru smiled, and told them that unless they stopped hurting innocents, he wasn’t going anywhere.

Blaster fire from one of them erupted into the air, directly at the Padawan. Saber drawn, Anubis deflected the bolts back at its starting point, killing the man. The other five mercenaries grabbed their swords, and tried attacking the Jedi. Wrath taunted them, slicing apart their weapons with total ease, killing a few of them in the process. With only two of them left, the Annedu decided it was time to use his hand to hand combat skills.

The first one charged with his hands ready to strike. As he took a swipe at Anubis, his heart stopped as Wrath crushed the man’s heart in a single yet perfectly aligned and strengthened blow. The other one looked at the Valheru like a creep, and got onto the nearest speeder as fast as he could as he didn’t want to be next.

Anubis sighed after he looked at all of the bodies. He hadn’t wanted to kill all of those men, but it felt somewhat refreshing to him. The Annedu got back onto the speeder he came by, and returned to the militia headquarters. When he arrived, the building had been nearly half destroyed. Wrath looked about, trying to figure out what could have done this, when twenty men stepped out from behind the wall, each with blasters.

The Padawan accelerated, trying to steer clear of the men. Unfortunately for him, they had already seen him approach. The Valheru continued to speed up, trying to close the gap between him and the closest starfighter. He was fired on repeatedly, and was forced to jump off the speeder when he reached the fighters.

Wrath quickly got into one of the fighters, trying to make sure the enemies didn’t know which one he was in until it was too late to stop him. With some luck, the fighter he picked had the engines primed and ready for take off when he arrived. Anubis grabbed the controls, and quickly took off. Within a few seconds, he was already over a kilometre away from the place where he had taken the fighter.

Anubis returned home to the Jedi Academy, to find that his master himself had gone out on an important mission. Feeling a little lonely, Wrath decided to make a trip to the orphanage where his brother Talos was last seen. He didn’t know what to expect, really. Wrath hopped into the E-wing he had taken from Dantooine, and primed the engines for launch.

A few minutes later he was outside the atmosphere, and was entering the proper hyperspace coordinates into the navi-computer. As the o.k. was given from the computer, the Valheru made the jump to lightspeed. It was a long and boring ride, and the Padawan hadn’t eaten in a while.

==== The Orphanage ''23 ABY''====

Anubis exited Hyperspace, the Hyperdrive fading into a low hum. Wrath blasted the accelerator forward, the E-wing instantly firing off. The Valheru flew to the nearby planet, scounting the large surface for any sign of the orphanage in which Talos was last known to be a part off.

After seven long hours of scouting the surface of the planet looking for the building, it appeared out west from his cockpit view. The Padawan turned the fighter, flying in the general direction of the orphanage. As he neared the building, the computer built inside the E-wing started repeating the words “missile lock’’.

Anubis cussed as two large missiles approached him from the right. The Annedu threw the craft into a barrel roll, hoping to have the two missiles come into contact with one another and explode. The plan failed however, as one of the missiles sped up for no apparent reason. Wrath threw the craft into overdrive, pushing the Ion engines to their absolute max.

If he was correct, he had close to thirty more seconds before the engines would explode, and kill Anubis. The Valheru angled the fighter toward the ground at a decent angle, hoping to get in close enough that he could jump off and survive. When he opened the canopy however, the craft was thrown into a continuous backfill.
[[Image:Anubisarmor.jpg|thumb|200px|right| Anubis Annedu Wrath's Prototype Armor]]

The Padawan tried his best to stay on, as he was tossed over to one of the wings. Soon, he would be wrenched from the wing, and thrown down to the forest below. No matter how hard he strived to remain on the wing, the force would still try and rip his hands from it. After ten more seconds, the Valheru was tossed from the fighter.

He was glad he had put on the parachute while inside the cockpit. As the cord was pulled, he slowly fell to the planet below. Wrath angled the parachute to the Orphanage, trying to make sure that he wouldn’t have to hike on foot for very long.

Anubis waited ten minutes, and started to land in a densely populated forest. The chute got caught in a treww, and the Padawan reached for his lightsaber which was mysteriously missing. He had probably just left it in the cockpit of the E-wing. The Valheru was forced to wiggle himself out of the parachute.

When he finally got to the orphanage after an hour of hiking, he was greeted by the orphanages leader, George Kane, who asked the reasoning behing the Valheru’s visit. Wrath said that he was looking for his brother Talos Annedu, and was invited inside for some discussion.

The two walked and talked for a long period of time, as the Annedu was filled in on most of Talos’ life, until the age of thirteen. When he asked which room the brother was located in, the reply angered him beyond anything before. They threw Talos out of the front door when he was thirteen.

Anubis clenched his teeth, and stopped. He asked why he was forced out, and the only reply was
“We hated him”. Wrath lost it. The Valheru left Kane for his business, and went to cool off. To his amazement, they even had a lightsaber on display. Calling the weapon to him, the Padawan placed it on his belt, the dark hilt clipping perfectly to his belt. As he stood there, he made one of the biggest decisions of his life. He looked for George, who was playing with some of the older orphans.

He had asked the Valheru what he was doing with the weapon, and the last thing that was heard from that room was the sound of a lightsaber igniting. After leaving the orphanage, Anubis knew he could only return to the academy to retrieve some personal belongings of his. He did so, finding an old shuttle stored away behind the orphanage.

After returning to the Jedi Academy on Yavin IV, Wrath was forced to leave. He was on his way to falling to the Dark Side of the Force, and he knew he could only achieve power. He would travel to many other systems in search of the power he sought, never discovering anything. Upon reaching [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ryloth Ryloth], he discovered a Sith Academy, still relitively intact...for the most part.

==== Ryloth ''23 ABY - 24 ABY'' ====

He studied the intact artifacts and weapons, learning of arachic designs of the first lightsabers, swords, and some techniques of the Dark Side. He remained there for another year, training and training and training until he couldn't take it anymore. He fled Rlyoth, seeking to return to Yavin IV to become a Jedi Knight once more. He wasn't so lucky though.

==== Yavin IV ''24 ABY'' ====
Anubis did indeed return to Yavin IV, but all he saw were old buildings, most of which had been raided and destroyed. The Jedi Knights of Yavin IV had seemed to dissapear. Maybe they moved to another side of the moon, maybe they didn't. The Valheru was sure though, that they wern't where he left them.

After studying the attacks on the temple, the Annedu had come to the conclusion that it was Stormtroopers that had attacked the Academy, probably out of lust for the death of their precious emperor, who was murdered twenty-four years before that. The only thing that crossed his mind was the word 'fools', as he knew that some day the Jedi Knights would return to these temples and rebuild them to their former glory.

Was Anubis making a mistake, trying to turn from the Dark Side? Nobody could answer that question properly...not even the Valheru himself. As time would prove over and over as he searched for the Jedi, he wasn't meant for the Light. The Annedu retaliated, seeking to strip himself of the Force. He searched across the galaxy for someone to complete this task for him, yet nobody posessed the right skill.
[[Image:Lenna_Annedu-Sconn.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Lenna Annedu-Sconn, wife to Anubis Annedu Xyler]]

==== Traveling ''24 ABY - 26 ABY'' ====
After a year of traveling, the Sith finally gave up. He accepted the fact that he was a member of the Dark Side, and finally got used to it. He would no longer wish he was dead, nor try to murder himself. He would live on, carrying on the memory of his parents inside his bloodstream. Also finding it hard to believe that he, a Sith, was born from Jedi parents, he eventually let it pass.

As he walked into a Coruscant bar, he was immediately told by the bartender to leave, for his actions yesterday. When Anubis had asked what he was talking about, everybody in the bar had told him that a man in his twenties that looked exactly like him, had been through here the day before. The Valheru's mind suddenly flew back to Talos, whom he had not thought about in years.

Questioning the patrons of the bar, the Annedu was able to discover the path that his younger brother had been taking. When he heard the planet name, Dantooine, he knew instantly where to go. Stealing the ignition codes to a light transport, Anubis flew to Dantooine with all the haste he was able to muster.

Once again, he had arrived to late. The Valheru cursed, so irritated that he slaughtered the men that had given him his desired information. The next location was the [[Antei| Antei System]], to a moon called [[Lyspair]] where an aparent [[Shadow Academy]] had been formed, for Dark Jedi. This was an opportunity for the Valheru, and he took it as quickly as possible.

=== [[Clan Taldryan]] ===
[[Image:Tal-logo.jpg|thumb|75px|left]]
Anubis Wrath has been in two [[clan]]s, one of them being [[Clan Taldryan]]. The Valheru was placed in this clan upon joining the Brotherhood, and remained there for a time. He bonded with five different members of the clan, and had a good time. He was placed in [[House Ektrosis]], or Ekky as they called it. Wrath's first [[Quaestor]] was [[Hel-Pa Sklib]], refered to Sklib. Sklib and the [[House Summit|summit]] helped him through the ranks to [[Novice]], before he transfered over to [[House Archanis|Archanis]]. Archanis was great, and he made newer friends. One of these friends was very annoying, but he just blocked it out. [[Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya|Crix]] was the reigning Quaestor and the two had little trouble getting along. Anubis was still present as a member of Clan Taldryan when the War against the Vong had started.

=== [[Eighth Great Jedi War]] ===
The Eighth Great Jedi War was a fierce battle between the DJB and the Vong. It ravaged Antei, Lyspair, and the surrounding systems. The Vong struck from nowhere, attacking the Clan fleets aggressively. It wasn't long before the Brotherhood Clan's retreated their fleets to Antei, hoping to remain safe. The Vong would have none of it, and forced the fleets into the shroud. Anubis fought with Taldryan, making sure that they would remain strong. The ''[[VSD Dark Prophet|Dark Prophet]]'', one of the larger vessels of Taldryan, was one of the first vessels to go down, many of it's crew were killed. The Valheru lost his right arm while fighting Vong aboard the ''Prophet'', and barely made it off the ship alive. Retreating to the ''[[VEN Katarn|Katarn]]'', Anubis helped the ship recover slowly. Until the final battle at Antei, Wrath was a strong supporter of Taldryan. He had doubts when the [[Braata Option]] came into play, and the clans retreated to their home systems. After the war had come to a stand still and the clans had returned home, the Valheru left Clan Taldryan, and moved on to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== [[Clan Naga Sadow]] ===
[[Image:Cns-logo.jpg|thumb|75px|left]] Anubis joined [[Clan Naga Sadow]] shortly after the 8th Great Jedi War, becoming a member of House Ludo Kressh, referred to as HLK. He joined the [[Master-Student Program]], referred to as the MSP, and was given [[AED]] Horus Black-Heart as his master. Horus taught Wrath to hone his combat skills, and enlighten him on defense strategies. The AED would not remain his master for long though, as he requested a different master. The request was approved, and he was given QUA [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]]. Ashia helped him through the trials, and watched Anubis prove himself during the Invasion of Orian.

The True Brotherhood had invaded the [[Orian system]], home to CNS. Sadowites retaliated, forcing the TB off of most of the planets. Wrath fought on the front lines in the Battle of Tarthos, along side his friends, a Zabrak named [[Syrus Korodin|Shuang Long]], and a Miraluka named [[Nero Pennant]]. The three led Naga Sadow forces to victory, while [[Shan Long]] boarded the ''Dark Fusion'', flagship of the TB. Anubis lost his lower left leg when Nero accidentally cut it off. The Valheru made a temporary one after his flesh leg was removed from his body. Shan managed to take control of the ''[[Dark Fusion]]'', and had it renamed ''[[VSDII Orian Legacy|Orian Legacy]]''.

=== [[Clan Arcona]] ===

[[Image:Carc-logo.jpg|thumb|75px|left]]Anubis joined Clan Arcona, a hopeful. The Hunter decided to join [[House Qel-Droma]], because he remembered the Quaestor, [[Quejo Drakai Xyler| Quejo]] from Clan Naga Sadow. Before he left for Arcona, Quejo was the reigning [[House Marka Ragnos]] [[Quaestor]]. Wrath within his first two weeks of joining the new clan, was offered the chance to serve as the [[Rollmaster]] for his house. The Valheru gladly accepted the position, knowing that it would help him out in the long run. He controls the Master Student program for the house, and gets the new members on their feet.

Soon after his ascention to Rollmaster, Quejo offered to take on Anubis as his apprentice. Once again, the Valheru gladly accepted. The two trained regularly, preparing Wrath for Knighthood. Wrath discovered that Talos was also a member of Arcona, and approached him as a hooded figure. The two met, and have been bonding ever since. Around a month into Annedu’s time as a member of Arcona, House Qel-Droma declared war on the Jedi Knights of Eclipse Station. During the attack, the members of [[House Galeres]] vowed to stop the madman of a Quaestor, Quejo. War broke out between the two, and so Anubis and Talos were forced to pit battle against each other. After the Feud, each brother gave their sorries, promising never to fight like that again. They crossed their lightsabers, swearing an oath to each other upon this.

==== Love ====
A time had come, when the Hunter had become lonely. He decided it was time for a small vactation, and took it to Tatooine. During his time there, he met a young women around his age, Human, named Lenna Sconn. She had instantly gotten along with the Valheru, and the two promised to meet again sometime. That time would be the very next day. After a week, Anubis had spent so much time with Lenna that that they knew what the other was going to say, before they were going to say it. On a single occasion, the two had gotten intoxicated, and spent the night together.

By the time each awoke, they knew what had happened, and they wern't shammed about it. They continued to spend more time together, until the Rollmaster's vacation had come to an end. As he placed his bags inside his TIE Hunter, the [[Striker 1| Striker I]], he felt the sudden urge to see her one last time. He knew exactly where to look, too. They met in the local cantina, to which they had first met. At the first sight of each other, they kissed. At the exact same time, both asked the other to marry them, and both accepted.

==== The Return Home ====
Anubis and Lenna wed on Tatooine, with Lenna taking the name Lenna Annedu-Sconn. Unknown by Anubis at the time, but Lenna was actually a lightsaber wielder, and a master at dual wielding. It astonished the Valheru when he discovered it. As the Annedu brought her back to the Qel-Droma base, they were both greeted by Quejo, who was quite interested to know of the marriage. Anubis explained what had happened, and Drakai let out a single nod, leaving the two lovers to get settled in to a set of bigger quarters, thanks to the help of the Quaestor.

Now settled into their new room, it didn't take long for Lenna to realize that she could no longer hide her identity as a lightsaber wielder. Revieling her silver blades, all she asked for was forgiveness. The Valheru gave her more then forgiveness. He also promised that no matter the cause, nothing would come between the two. He had a single request from his darling wife. To have her teach him the ways of mastery in lightsaber combat. Lenna gladly accepted, taking on her husband as a combat apprentice, while he took her on as a Force apprentice...
}}

== The Xyler Family ==
Around a month or two after joining his newfound clan, [[Clan Arcona]], Anubis and his brother [[Talos Annedu]] were invited into the [[Xylers|Xyler]] family, by friend and [[Quaestor]], [[Quejo Drakai Xyler]], also known as the [[Rollmaster|Rollmaster's]] master. He was given the Xyler name, and was invited to Castle Gothengromer, the Xyler homestead along with his brother, for a welcoming into the family.
[[Image:Castle_gothengromer.jpg|thumb|left| Castle Gothengromer, The [[Xylers|Xyler]] Homestead]]

The current family members welcomed the newer ones, inviting them to drinks and such. By the end of the day, Talos and Anubis had settled in, and they would remain there for a few more days before returning the the Qel-Droma Temple. It wasn't long ago that they were initiated into the family, becoming members of the Xyler family and taking the name, wearing it proudly.
 
== Personal Weapons ==
=== Sorrow ===
[[Image:Anubis-Dagger.jpg|thumb|130px|right| Sorrow]]
Sorrow was one of Anubis Annedu Xyler's favourite melee weapons, mostly becacause of it's razor sharp look and the fact that it was easily portable. The dagger fell into the Valheru's hands by murder actually. The Xyler had been on a mission for his master, [[Quejo Drakai Xyler]], to locate and destroy the leader of a pirate cell. It wasn't easily, but after around a month he had a locked location on the target. Taking with him half of the Qel-Droman fleet, the Valheru sought out and did his best to destroy the target. He finished the leader off himself, slitting his throat with his own dagger, which the Annedu later took for himself, naming it Sorrow. 
=== Sharpnel ===
[[Image:Anubis-Sword.jpg|thumb|130px|right| Sharpnel]]
Named because of it's razor sharp blade, Sharpnel is probably the Annedu's second favourite close range combat weapon, the first being Sorrow (see above). Sharpnel was constructed by Anubis during his first month in Arcona, to practically replace Sorrow, but the Hunter couldn't bring himself to do it. He instead kept both weapons, as a sign that if you get to close, your going to have to start running. The blade is customly forged, while the hilt was removed from a sword that the Valheru already possessed. It is rarely used, and is instead kept in a protective case on display in the Rollmaster's quarters. 
=== Umethar ===
[[Image:Anubis-Dagger2.jpg|thumb|130px|right| Umethar]]
Umethar was one of Anubis' last weapons given to him. It was a gift from his wife Lenna Annedu-Sconn, as a honeymoon present. He's held onto it since, carrying it into battle or training sessions wherever he is, or going. It almost never leaves his side, and is stored in a special Plasteel pouch designed to hold the blade without being destroyed or wreaked. The knife is about a month old now, serving it's owner well in practice excersises against his master, and real combat situations and training.

== Armory ==
Anubis Annedu Xyler keeps a fully stocked armory kept inside his Quarters on the BAC Shadow. It has a arrange of carbines, rifles, melee weapons, gernades, armor and of course ammunition. Basically an armory big enough to be used as Prophecy Phyle's armory, its home to the Valheru's prototype armor, currently under testing. Anubis bought all of the supplies for his armor, by selling off some of his own personal designs of electrical equipment and weapons to rig in some serious credits, for spending in secret.
=== Armory Artillery ===

Anubis' prototype armor is comprised of:
*Titanium Alloy
*Mandalorian Steel
*Durasteel Alloy
*Plasteel

It has many features that are included both inside and outside the suit, making it the state of the arc combat suit around. It looks like Mandalorian armor, because Anubis designed it in such a way that it would hint all of his Mandalorian training upon Duxn. Still a prototype, many systems still need to be tested and added, bringing the price of the armor forever rising. A lot of the credits that the Annedu still makes goes towards the suit, besides the money for food.

The systems for the head region include:
*DH107 Comlink
*Helmet Computer
*MFTAS System
*Data Jacks (for computer)
*Sensors

The systems and suit attachments for the chest/arm region include:
*Sensors
*Blaster Cannons (forearm mounted)

The systems for the leg region include:
*Servomotors

Master At Arms Handbook

Kraval: Massive spelling and grammar errors along with section changes that no longer apply

{{Handbooks}}

=Master at Arms’s Handbook=

==Position Overview==
The position of the [[Master at Arms]] is the keeper of records in the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. While it doesn’t hold a direct leadership function, he’s responsible for the approval of any given request made by members, be it a [[:Category:Medals|medal]], a [[Rank|promotion]] or more trivial requests such as transfers. The MAA is required to make sure any request receives the same treatment regardless of who submits one. Also, any promotions or medals need to be clearly looked upon to make sure every member receives the same amount of rewards for their work for the improvement of the whole Brotherhood. Another duty of the MAA is to approve or deny competitions from DB leadership and to ensure that the level of award matches the effort of the competition. The two main qualities needed by a good MAA are fairness and patience.

'''As Master at Arms, what are my main expectations?'''
*To help the new members to settle themselves into our ranks.
*To oversee the daily activities of the office, making sure no request is unheard.
*To oversee competition processing, from request to reward.
*To assist clans in any possible way for all matters regarding transfers, appointments and removal.
*To promote positive relations with members and all other online presences
*To conduct a successful transition with successor

The MAA is requested to be present more then once daily, or in coordination with his staff, to make sure every request is processed in a timely manner.

===Difficulties of being the Master at Arms===
The main difficulty as MAA is to judge the requests made by the other members with clear mind and without prejudice. When a request is processed, there shouldn’t be any doubt a medal or a promotion is well earned. To make sure of this a good MAA need to check deeply the profile of whom is receiving the award or promotion and eventually gather more information from his superior to avoid any favoritism.

The second biggest difficulty arises when for some reason the MAA has to deny a request. This usually leads to an exchange of emails with the requester and/or his superiors discussing the reason that the request was denied in either a polite or impolite manner. As a member of the [[Dark Council]] the MAA is required to behave in a civil manner at all times and for this reason when denying a request the MAA should go through the recommendation, point out each inconsistency/error, and explain them in the comments section.

==Effects of the positions==
The Master at Arms influences the whole Brotherhood with his work by controlling medals, promotions, name changes and transfers. This have obviously has a drawback: any mistake made may lead one or more members to leave the Brotherhood. For this reasons the MAA is requested to have good judgment capabilities, a strong presence, good communication skills AND a whole load of patience. Each time a member approaches the MAA with questions or for clarification, answers need to be clear. The MAA, like any Dark Council member, is requested to have a very fast reply time, usually within 24 hours. A faster reply time has been proven to be more effective in dealing members whom feel more cared by a fast answer.

==Position Organization==
The MAA reports to the [[Deputy Grand Master]] and the [[Grand Master]] directly. While he doesn’t have any command over the [[Clan Summit|clan]] or [[House Summit|house summit]]s, he will often work in close contact with them, as well as with the [[Headmaster]].

*'''Superiors:''' GM, DGM
*'''Subordinates:''' [[Praetor|P:MAA]], [[Magistrate|M:MAA]]
*'''Close working relationships:''' HM, Summits

==Specific Duties==

'''''Promotion Approval'''''

Every time a member rises in rank, he rises in power within his [[Order]] and the Brotherhood. As such this is the most prized reward a member can receive. Every promotion needs to be deeply controlled before being approved to be sure the member has done enough work to warrant a promotion.

'''''Medal Approval'''''

The second most important award a member can receive are medals, ranging from [[:Category:Competition Medals|competition medals]] to [[:Category:Merit Medals|merit medals]]. As with promotions, medals need to be verified before being approved. For competition medals, it is required to ensure the request fits with the related competition and the level of award originally submitted.

'''''Competition Approval'''''

Competitions are the heart of the Brotherhood and as such they deserve a proper recognition for the winners. All competitions should be aimed to the whole unit, [[Battleteam|battle group]]/[[house]]/[[clan]] that it is requested for and reward must follow the guidelines in the Dark Side Compendium.

'''''Roster updates'''''

All appointment, from [[Rollmaster]] to [[Consul]] need to be approved before being announced:
*[[Aedile]]: If the request is made by the [[Quaestor]], Contact the Clan summit for their approval.
*[[Quaestor]]: If the request come from the [[Proconsul]] contact the consul for confirmation.
*CON and PCON are appointed directly by the Grand Master or Deputy Grand Master.
*DC Assistants: Update the roster as requested.

'''''Name change'''''

Make sure when approving a member’s name change that no unearned clan title, famous character names are used, or that the Family Creation rules are not violated.

'''''Clan transfer'''''

Each time a request comes in to go from one clan to another, the MAA should mail the member’s clan summit requesting their interview of his clanmate to make sure the transfer is not due ill reasons or animosity with other member of the same clan. This is to avoid fights and to make sure our members are enjoying their time in the Brotherhood.

If a member requests to go rogue for personal reasons the MAA is not required to inquire about the situation. He may process it as soon as he is able to.

'''''Email change'''''

This is always approved by default.

'''''Dark Council Commitments'''''

The Master at Arms has the same commitments to the Dark Council as he does to the rest of the membership. He must evaluate their requests for promotions, medals, competitions, and name changes like everyone else. The Master at Arms does not get involved with projects but rather keeps his work in the day to day requests from the entire membership.

==Position Checklist==
*'''Immediately Following Election:'''
**Meet with the former Master at Arms and discuss any ongoing projects, the status of the Office as well as all other pertinent information
**Notify the former MAA’s Praetors and Magistrates as to whether or not they will be retained
**Ensure that there are no ‘left-over’ competitions – it’s extremely important to finish off any competitions that your predecessor had started or announced, otherwise the members who put effort into them will be disillusioned.
**Write a news post introducing yourself and telling people what you plan to do with the position.
**Don’t do anything radical. Unless your predecessor’s reign was dreadful, give yourself time to settle into the post before you try changing anything big.

*'''Daily Tasks:'''
**Process every available pending request.
**Respond to e-mail queries.

*'''Monthly Tasks:'''
**Report on djb.com and irc.
**Report to the Grand Master for the internal report.

Kraval:

So um, reading this page I have to say that the honorifics are a joke. You know how many people have been, at one time or another, DC, PCON+, or a Praetor... what the hell is the point of a title if half the DB has the right to use it? And where did these come from anyways? I know we had Sith Lord and Darth and Dark Lord of the Sith... but excellency? immortal? his honor? ... Why? :P --[[User:Shadow Taldrya|Shadow Taldrya]] 21:34, 28 February 2008 (MST)

Kraval: Imperial will be added when she submits a proper name change

Clan names are not families, or at least they shouldn't be. Should we move the Clan Name information to the Clan Title article? [[User:Kaine Mandaala|Kaine Mandaala]] 06:41, 13 December 2006 (Mountain Standard Time)

Sure...either or is fine. It was just easier to keep both lists together when doing regular updating of them, but separating them is fine--[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] 06:44, 13 December 2006 (Mountain Standard Time)

I don't see why other articles cannot be linked through this one? I have no objection to the MAA being the only one to add or remove Family names (or members of said families), but not allowing the linking of other pages from this one goes against what the Wiki is from a certain point of view. --[[User:Tron|Tron]] 21:22, 15 January 2007 (Mountain Standard Time)

==Updated==

Updated the info, plus put it all in nifty little boxes :) [[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 16:44, 21 May 2007 (MDT)
* You may also want to update the numbers in parentheses stating how many members of a particular family there are. -- [[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 08:23, 3 July 2007 (MDT)

# Families cannot exceed 10 members in size. Those currently with more than 10 members can maintain their current membership but cannot recruit new members.
# Do not use the transfer request form as a place for argument. If you have a problem with your superiors, address it to their superior. Don’t just run away without addressing the problems. Transfers are the last resort. If you are transferring due to problems within your current Clan, you are to e-mail the MAA prior to transferring.
# If you want to run a competition for a group that you are not currently in charge of or that you are not a member of, you must get prior approval from someone that is. If you wish to award a medal that you do not have access to recommend, you must get approval from someone that does. You must indicate this approval in competition requests that are submitted to the database.
# Do not tell someone they are going to be promoted or given a medal before it has been approved, as there is no guarantee it will be approved.
# Do not whine about or demand a reward. The MAA office does not look favourably upon this, nor do most leaders within the DB.
# To lessen confusion within a Clan, all medals and promotions should be known by your superiors before they are recommended. The Clan Summit should know what is happening within the houses, and the House Summit should know what is happening within the Battle Teams.
# No merit medals may be given for specific, stated tasks. You may not award merit medals for single competition participation or placement unless said competition was a large scale competition taking extended time and dedication (like a Vendetta). In those cases, confer with the MAA before announcing any awards.
# As much as it would be good to divorce the medal and promotion system, it is simply impossible to do so given the history of the Brotherhood and the logistical impossibility of differentiating between certain types of activity. Therefore, the two systems are not completely divorced. Recommendations for merit medals, followed by a quick recommendation for promotion for effectively the same activities will not be approved. If you award someone a medal, it is unlikely that they will be considered for a promotion immediately thereafter. However, in the case of larger promotions and larger medals, considerations will be made that encompass all the activities that a member undertakes. Do not try to “double-dip.” This includes small competitions – you cannot receive a Crescent and a Legion of the Scholar for trivia: only one.
# Time in rank and time in the Brotherhood factor into promotions. There are no set limits on how much time you must spend at a certain rank or in the Brotherhood but it is expected that people spend a reasonable time at each level. It is also expected that competent leaders take this into account.
# Recruiting from other Clans is strongly discouraged. Blatant attempts to get someone to join your Clan from another Clan by offering people medals, promotions or positions will be referred to the Chamber of Justice. This does not include legitimate open application periods for positions wherein someone could join another Clan by applying for and being offered a new position. Other recruiting attempts (those without bribes) are strongly discouraged. If you develop a reputation for siphoning off members, you will not be protected from harsh criticism received by your colleagues. Learn to take responsibility for your own actions.
# Transfers from Clan to Clan will be more rigorously examined. Each one will be investigated by the MAA. Be sure to have a legitimate reason and any such requests should be discussed with your Clan leaders before a transfer request is made. Rogue hopping will not be allowed.
# Do not cite precedent on anything when arguing a reward or competition denial as recent changes to the system involves changing what is considered “precedent”. If you have a question about something, contact your superior or the MAA directly.
# It is strongly suggested that all Summits start keeping a close account of all activities their members engage in. This ranges from hanging out on IRC to participating in a competition to completing a massive Clan project. Record what your members do. It will make it easier for you to justify a reward when you want to reward them. It will also eventually be required that you do this.
# Do not presume that Clan institutions confer validity on your recommendations. How a Clan is ultimately run is determined by the Consul and Clan leaders, not the MAA. However, any authority that specific leaders and bodies within a Clan may have do not carry over to the rewarding of medals or promotions. Legitimate recommendations are legitimate recommendations irrespective of who submits them to me and under what fictional authority.
# The Master/Student program is not recognized by the MAA as an official one. If you are the master of a member of the Dark Brotherhood and said student has performed some set of tasks to gain rank then the request for promotion of your student must be through house or clan leadership as they are recognized as having the authority to recommend.
# Official dossier names are to contain only four parts for names. Hyphenated words will not be counted as one word but as two. Nicknames or shortened portions of the original name are counted towards the four parts you are permitted to have

== Character History ==

=== Early life===

Kraval Novir was born into a middle class family in the Silver Sea's hospital on Chandrilla. His father was an Imperial pilot while his mother was a programmer for Hallowan Laboratories. His parents decided to name him Kraval, after a mythical beast from his father's home world. Most of Kraval's early childhood was uneventful. Whenever his mother was at work he would be sent to a child care facility, and seeing as how his father was an Imperial TIE pilot, he was rarely if ever home.

His parents did the best they could with what they had. They would buy him new toys and clothes as a way to make up for their absences, but for Kraval it just wasn't the same. He would break the toys within a week and he kept outgrowing his clothes at an extremely fast pace. While trying to raise young Kraval, his mother learned two things about him. First, he had inherited his father's temper and her sensitivity to insults. These realizations came all on the same day that Kraval was kicked out of school for attacking another boy, although he didn't lay a hand on him.

Kraval was sitting in class minding his own business when Trom, the boy behind him, began to throw wads of paper at him. This sort of thing had been happening to Kraval for years. He wasn't the popular kid in school; in fact he was the type to be easily picked on. Since he had his father's temper he always wanted to fight back, but he also had his mother's kindness which prevented him from doing anything. So Kraval would just take the insults, shoves, and taunts and try not to let them bother him. However, on this particular day Kraval could take no more. For him, this had gone on long enough. Trembling with rage, Kraval turned around and imagined hurting the boy in a horrible way. To his surprise, Trom began to twitch uncontrollably as if he was having a seizure.

A large grin emerged from Kraval's mouth as he kept picturing the boy in pain, but then the teacher grabbed Kraval from behind and was shouting at him about what was he doing. She had a frightened look on her face when she realized that Trom was on the floor but Kraval didn't have his hands near him. The teacher dragged Kraval to the principal’s office where she told him what had happened and upon hearing this the principal looked intrigued. That look vanished quickly as the principle told Kraval he was expelled while he called Kraval's mother to come pick him up. Kraval didn't have to wait long, for his mother was on her way home when she received the call on her mini-hologram cube in the speeder.

As they returned home, Kraval's mother wondered where she had gone wrong in raising her son. She really had tried her best, but apparently it just wasn't enough. What worried her the most though was how Kraval managed to hurt the other boy. It was obvious that her son had Force abilities. That fact in itself was bad enough. That he could focus his hate enough to harm a boy was horrific. The Emperor had exterminated the Jedi order and Kraval's mother had heard stories about what happened to children to display Force powers. She recalled the tales of men clad in black armor storming into homes in the middle of the night kidnapping the Force gifted child while killing the rest of the family. She shuddered at that thought and hoped that no one at the school would report what had happened.

What she didn't know was that the principle of Kraval's school was actually an agent for the Empire, sent to monitor the school and watch for Force sensitive children. As Kraval and his mother left his office, he opened a secure channel to a shadowy figure. He explained the situation to the dark man who then told the agent to arrange for a commando group to take the boy and bring him aboard an Imperial ship. The principle acknowledged his orders, terminated the link, and back tracked the call log and deleted it so no one would know about his conversation. He then went back to work, just as a normal school principal should.

===Introduced to the Dark Side===

At exactly midnight, while Kraval and his mother were sleeping, a commando squad specially trained to deal with kidnapping Force children moved into the house. Contrary to all the rumors and tales about how the squads smashed in and slaughtered everyone, the group moved with great speed and stealth as they entered Kraval's room. They injected him a sedative and wrapped him up in a blanket so his limbs wouldn't flail around and make noise. As the last commando left the home, he unhooked a datapad from the door lock, allowing it to reactivate and purging the lock's records for that day. The commandos hopped into their speeder and zoomed away from the city. They made a sharp turn and drove over the sea, coming to a small cove where they hid their shuttle. They loaded the slim speeder and Kraval onto the shuttle and lifted off. [[Image:Storm_Commando.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Storm Commando that invaded Kraval's home]]

The pilot of the shuttle used Chandrilla's gravity well to help propel them on their projected hyperspace course, and when they emerged from light speed a frigate loomed in front of them. The pilot ordered that Kraval be brought up to see his future. Kraval was escorted to the cockpit by one of the commandos and when he saw the ship in the view port he froze. He had never seen such a large ship. The pilot saw the look on Kraval's face and grinned. He brought the shuttle into a secluded bay where there was a man clad in black armor similar to the ones the commandos wore.

As Kraval headed down the shuttle ramp he glanced at the man in black, his bright red hair and green eyes a stark contrast to his uniform. When the commandos and Kraval reached a point in front of the black clad man, the commandos kneeled before him and the leader pulled Kraval down to one knee. As he waited to what would happen next, he felt something probe into his mind. It was cold, precise, and fast. Before he could identify what it was, it vanished. He looked up and the dark man made a single gesture which confused young Kraval. What did it mean? Would they take him away to be trained, or would they kill him? He soon found out the answer.

===Imperial Training===

As he looked back at that first encounter, Kraval realized how foolish he was to be afraid when he first met one of the Emperor’s Inquisitors. The years following that event went by quickly. Since he was Force gifted, he couldn't be sent to a normal military training academy. He was instead sent to a facility where he could be taught to enhance his skill for flying. Since his father was an excellent pilot, the military testers thought he would be just as great, or since he had the Force he would be even better. Kraval remembered the cliff side hangar and fortress as it stood alone on a mountain surrounded by a dry desert. He recalled being forcibly woken up very early every morning for his training regimen of weight lifting and aerobic exercises. From there he had to proceed to a class room where for eight hours he would learn all he could about star fighter tactics.

Kraval learned everything he needed to know to become one of the best pilots in the Imperial Navy. He learned how to fly a TIE Interceptor against an escort carrier and effectively shoot its turrets while evading shots from the ship and how to get the carrier's turrets to hit its own fighters. He found out how to use a TIE Bomber to engage in dogfights against rebel X-Wings. He even had the privilege of being one of the first pilots to fly the new TIE Advanced. It was one of the best fighters the Empire had to offer. It boasted speed of that beyond what the A-wing could fly, and it carried a descent missile payload to make it a threat to capital class starships.

Now Kraval was placed under the command of Colonel Hirth. The unit under Hirth's command had the task of hunting down the numerous shipyards that built the rebel star fighters. They weren't easy to find, no manufacturer would be dumb enough to have a stationary shipyard to make rebel star fighters. So naturally they made the yards mobile, capable of moving from system to system. That's what made their assignment so difficult, and what was worse was the squad had to rely on Imperial Intelligence to tell them where to go. There would be months when the squad would fly to numerous systems desperately trying to find a shipyard to blow up. Some of the time they would find yards to destroy, but other times they squad would arrive in system only to find that they had just missed catching one.

Then there were the months where the squad did nothing. Intel would have nothing to report and even though most of the squad was Force sensitive, they were only taught enough to benefit their flying skills; they weren't allowed to expand on their powers. So if they weren't out hunting for ship yards, they spent their time training or playing war games. Few of the missions they were sent on excited Kraval, most of them didn't even challenge him. The routine was always the same; you jump into the system, disable the ship yard's hyperdrive, engage the enemy starfighter defenses, and finish off the yard. The only mission that came close to excitement was when Hirth's group was hunting down a mobile yard that supposedly produced X-wings and was guarded by a corvette. The plan called for the squad to make a lighting strike and use the same tactics as always.

===Defiance and Strategy===

When Kraval's Advanced reverted to realspace he realized that Intel had screwed up again. The shipyard was where it was supposed to be, but instead of a corvette protecting it, there was a Nebulon-B Frigate picking up a shipment of starfighters. Surprise flashed through Kraval for only a second. Colonel Hirth ordered the squad to split into four groups of three pilots each which was a big tactical mistake. If the groups split like that, then it would be easy for the shipyards defending fighters and the frigate’s fighters to split them up and pick them off. Kraval realized this and, being the second in command, he ordered the squad to split into two groups of six instead. He ordered one group to attack the shipyard's hyperdrive while he took the other group to begin an assault on the capital ship. Hirth began yelling objections and threatened to court marshal Kraval and the rest of the group if they followed his lead. Which of course, they did, for they too saw the error Hirth made.

Most of the fighters that came out to defend the frigate were easy kills, the best only lasting for a few minutes. The enemy pilots had to be fresh out of an academy, they didn't execute rolls or side swipe maneuvers properly, and their firing aim was the worst Kraval had seen in years. He took care of those fighters easily enough, not a single shot landed on his shields. The station never got the chance to send off a distress signal because the second group made a quick split and destroyed the hyperdrive and the communications tower at the same time. They then regrouped and managed to destroy the station and all of its defenses within ten minutes. It was a simple task for the group, swerving in and out of the dock struts, shooting turrets and weakened hull plates. This is what Hirth's squad had trained for. [[Image:Nebulon_frigate.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Rebel Frigate ''Liberty'' protecting a mobile shipyard]]

The Nebulon-B Frigate did manage to get a signal out before their comm dish was blasted by a proton torpedo, but it made no difference on the outcome of the battle. The cruiser's attempts to protect itself were pathetic. The Advanced squad easily made quick work of the turbolaser emplacements and the missile launcher on the bottom of the ship. Realizing that most of his guns were gone, the ship's commander tried to deploy transport ships to surround the capital ship with mines. That proved useless for when the transport pilots flew out of the bay, instead of laying a mine field, they jumped for hyperspace. Dozens of missiles and laser blasts sailed through the cold vacuum of space, lancing and destroying section after section of the Rebel ship until it couldn’t hold its frame.

As the frigate broke up into a flaming wreck, the squad maneuvered to enter hyperspace. Colonel Hirth commed Kraval and told him that he and the rest of the group would be brought up on charges of disobeying orders and insubordination. Kraval had other ideas about that. He was tired of being under the command of such an arrogant fool. When they arrived back at their base on the moon of Ison, the colonel stormed up to him, his face flushed red with rage. Kraval simply smiled at the old man and formed an image in his mind, an image of a pained Hirth's on the ground. Hirth immediately froze, his body convulsing violently. Those who trained Kraval may not have wanted to further his training with the Force, but he was easily able to remember how he did it as a child. After the colonel's body hit the floor like a string-less puppet, Kraval decided that he wanted to leave the Imperial Navy and learn more about his abilities and how to control them. Without looking at his fellow squad mates, Kraval strode over to a Lambda class shuttle and took it for himself.

===Wandering and Discovery===

For a few years Kraval wandered the Corporate Sector and the Outerrim territories, hoping to find someone who could teach him in the ways of the Force. He traveled from Almania to Alzoc III, and still he had found no one. Kraval had almost given up when he felt a glimmer of power. It was faint, but he was sure he felt something. He plotted a jump in the direction he sensed the power. He had no set destination as he entered hyperspace, but it only took half a minute before Kraval felt the urge to pull back on the hyperdrive levers and snap into real space. He checked his computer's database to identify where he was. The only this he could pull up on his screen was information about the planet in front of him. A large green and brown world, the computer could not identify it. It was a planet covered almost entirely by large valleys and dangerous mountains. This intrigued Kraval, for this planet would be the perfect place for a garrison and a good place for a Force user to hide. Little did he know how right he was.

As Kraval entered the atmosphere, he turned to head towards a city. He didn't get far, for as he passed through a valley turrets appeared from the walls and began to open fire. Only his training saved him, as he got a half second warning and made a quick barrel roll to the left. The turrets began tracking him again and he took more evasive maneuvers, each move faster and more risky than the last. Somehow, the turrets managed to keep up with him, and some even shot at him before he got to a certain location. The turrets knew where he was going to go before he went there. Using his powers the best he could, Kraval stretched out his senses and discovered something very surprising about the turrets. They weren't automated as he thought, instead they were manned by people with the same abilities he had.

Kraval wondered if they could be the ones he sensed before, but didn't have much time to think about it. For that split second when he divided his attention between flying and sensing had cost him dearly. One of the turrets managed to land a shot that pierced the shuttle's shimmering blue shields and made a solid hit on the engines. Kraval was forced to switch over to repulsorlifts and make an emergency landing. Putting all the power he could afford to, Kraval struggled to keep the shuttle from smashing completely into the ground. Just as he was about to hit solid earth, his ship suddenly slowed down and made a soft landing. Kraval, not wanting to know why his ship had for no apparent reason slowed down, dashed back to the cargo area and gathered what he needed in a hurry.

===Attempted Escape===

As he opened the exit ramp, Kraval planted the single explosive on the shuttle. He knew that whoever shot him had tracked his ship all the way down to the ground. He wanted to leave a nasty surprise for those sent to investigate the ship. He set the motion sensors on the bombs and closed the ramp. He consulted his datapad and made a quick sprint in the direction of the city, for the computer said it was only five kilometers south of his current position. It wasn't even ten minutes after he left his rigged shuttle before he heard a loud explosion. Kraval turned around and saw a huge flaming plume rise into the air. He smiled and continued running, for he knew that they would soon start searching the area for him. Oddly enough, there were no search parties that he came across. He thought that it was suspicious, but he moved on, determined to reach the city.

Within a few hours, Kraval managed to reach the outskirts of the metropolis. Now the question was how was he going to get out of there? Obviously these people were hostile to outsiders and most likely weren't going to teach him in the ways of the Force. Kraval peered at his datapad again and found a section that was shaped roughly like an air field. Perfect, he thought. All he would have to do is reach that field, steal a fighter, and blast off. He knew, however, that it wouldn't be that easy. If those turrets were any indication of these people's defenses, they wouldn't be lax about the airfield.

Kraval moved through the city while avoiding attracting unnecessary attention. Fortunately, he was wearing a type of clothing that was common throughout the galaxy, a simple black vest and black pants with leather boots. He weaved in between buildings, trying to stay away from any main roads. It didn't take him long to find the airfield and it took him only a second longer to find the defenses. For an airfield holding starfighters there certainly wasn't much. Four light class AV-21 speeders were moving back and forth and up in the towers were a few guards, but other than that there seemed to be nothing else. Then again, Kraval reminded himself, he didn't see the cannons in the mountains. They may have a similar setup here, he thought, but there was one thing he was sure about. They didn't have landmines setup in the field, because the four speeders were moving across it all the time. But for all he knew there were mines there and they were programmed to recognize certain vehicles and not blow them up. Oh well, Kraval thought, there was only one way to find out.

Kraval managed to get a top of the line Seinar X-T speeder from a dealership under the pretext of taking it out for a test drive. Kraval pulled the speed to a clearing about one hundred feet from the field and checked his pack. He had a modified DL-54 blaster with three spare power packs and three sonic grenades with a special magnetic grip that activated two seconds after the grenade was turned on. He closed his bag and throttled the engine to full and shot off towards the airfield. As he approached the defense lines, he hopped that he wouldn't get blasted into a million pieces.

The defenses were slow to respond to his intrusion, because Kraval made it past the gate and was halfway to one of the pads before any forces responded. As he angled to the landing area, the other speeders attempted to get to teach side of him and put Kraval in a classic "down the middle" trap where they could just fire between themselves to hit him from both sides. Kraval, being the experienced pilot that he was, recognized the maneuver and used the speeder's boosters to zip ahead of the group. When the defenders began to move close together behind him, Kraval grabbed a sonic grenade, activated it, and tossed it high up over his shoulder. One moment he was speeding along, the next there was a medium size shock wave coursing through the air. He looked back and saw only one of the four speeders was left, it was badly damaged and turning away from him. As for the rest, he only saw melted chunks of metal.

When he was within seventy feet of the doors to the pads, two turrets suddenly popped up from the ground, their barrels swiveling to target him. Kraval began another series of evasive turns, but it did him little good. The turrets were too fast in tracking him, and he knew that if he stayed on the speeder for much longer, he was a dead man. Thinking quickly, Kraval attached his bag to the speeder and activated the last two sonic grenades, putting a ten second timer on them. He slowed the speeder down while grabbing his blaster and spare clips. As the turrets continued to fire, he jumped out the side and rolled onto the ground, putting the speeder between him and the turrets. The turrets kept shooting at the speeder, they actually managed to damage it enough to come crashing down in front of them. But the turrets didn't manage to get it to crash far enough away from them. With no warning, the two grenades went off at the same time, the resulting shockwave forced Kraval flat on the ground.

As he stood back up, he noticed that the tower guards were also stunned by the blast, and he was able to shoot them with his pistol before they got to sound an alarm. He dashed for the pads, past the charred wrecks of the turrets and into the pit where an interceptor was waiting. Breathing a sigh of relief, Kraval moved to the ship. As he got within a few feet of the fighter, he thought he saw movement at the edge of his vision. He quickly turned around and brought his pistol up. His head swayed back and forth as he searched for a target, but he saw nothing. He returned his gun to its holster and turned back to the ship. Just as he did that a figure seemed to emerge from the ship's shadow. Right off the ground this man appeared. Before Kraval could even react, the man made a simple hand gesture and Kraval felt the same shadows that the man came from engulf him.

===Dinaari===

When he awoke, Kraval was lying down in a bunk. His clothes had been changed into some sort of white robe. Still wondering where he was at, the door to the room he was in opened. A figure in a black robe stood there staring at him. After a minute or so of scrutinizing him, he motioned for Kraval to follow him. As they moved down a hall made of black obsidian stone, Kraval noticed two distinct symbols on the walls. One was a blue scythe-like shape, and the other looked like a red star gone nova. The two men reached an elevator and when they stepped inside Kraval could see no buttons to press. Instead, when the doors closed, the lift began to move upwards automatically. [[Image:Claw_of_Dinaari.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Claw of Dinaari]]

The doors of the lift re-opened and the black robed man led the way to an extremely large door. As they approached the doors opened to reveal a large office with a desk in the center of it. A man was doing computer work when the two entered. He looked up, stopped his typing, and rose from his chair. He was a man of medium height and medium build. He didn't have bulging muscles threatening to tear apart his clothes, but he wasn't skinny by any means. His face looked like it had been carved from granite, his eyes a silver gray color. His jet black hair was flattened to his head and his ears were the pointiest Kraval had ever seen. He circled Kraval and looked him over. He asked Kraval what he was doing on their planet. He replied that he wanted to learn more about the Force. The man looked suspiciously at Kraval then continued on. He mentioned the shoot down of the shuttle and the little trap that failed to kill much less hurt anyone. The men sent to check out the downed craft had sensed the trap and had used the Force to set off the bombs. The man then talked about the stolen speeder and Kraval's assault on the airfield.

Then the man did something totally unexpected. He congratulated Kraval on making it so far. Many others were put through the same trials as he was, but most never got past the cannons in the mountains. The way Kraval used the speeder bike as a bomb carrier was a good choice given the situation he was in. The man looked at Kraval one more time and then gestured to the man in the black robes. He told him to take Kraval to the Initiation Temple on Karufr. As he left the room, Kraval smiled and noticed the similarity to this situation and one he had as a child. Once again, Kraval was being led on to start his training.

===Dark Side Training===

His training was not easy, nor was it quick. He was surprised at how much he did not know. Then again, he should have realized the truth. When he was with the Imperial Navy, they didn't allow him to focus on anything else other than becoming a superior pilot. He was taught how to expand his awareness to a short range, so that in star fighter combat he could tell what his opponent was going to do. He didn't know that he could expand that awareness even farther, to the point where he could feel other beings in other sectors.

Each and every day Kraval was stunned by what he was taught. He learned how to levitate items of all shapes and all sizes. Even though he doubted it, he had seen instructors lift boulders five times their size. When Kraval tried, he found that lifting objects wasn't that hard at all. Soon he surpassed his fellow students and was moving on to other areas of training. He watched the Krath priests use the Force to empower medallions with the dark side. He saw Obelisk troops use the Force to enhance their fighting skills.

Although he was an excellent pilot, he was by far not the best. Every other day he would get into a simulator and be shot down by one of the senior fighters. Surprisingly, this didn't anger him much. He felt that he did need improvement, especially fighting against people that had the same skills as he. For too long he had fought against inferior enemies, and with each victory he had become lax. Now it was coming back to haunt him. Fortunately, it was only in the simulators that his sloppiness was occurring. With time and training, he would become better. He was determined to be one of the best pilots in the Dark Brotherhood.

Not only did he want to become the best pilot, but he also wanted to become a hand to hand combatant. It was all well and good to be a fighter pilot, but what if in combat his craft was shot down? What would happen to him then? He would be forced to fend for himself on the ground where numerous enemies would await him. He took it upon himself to go and find a trainer, and he was lucky enough to have been placed into clan Taldryan, where some of the best ground combatants are. He was placed into Dark Fire Brigade, under the leadership of Jedi Hunter Fire-Knight. From there, he learned all he needed to know about ground battles.

His first training session had been a joke. There was a huge open area where he was told to report for training, and he walked out into the clearing not suspecting a thing. He barely got a warning through the Force before a shot rang out at him and a spot of burnt grass appeared beside his foot. He looked up and saw a man with a Tenloss sniper rifle cradled in his hands. He jumped down from his spot and walked over to Kraval wearing a smug look on his face. The man introduced himself as the commander, and told Kraval that he had made the first biggest mistake anyone could make. Never walk into a clearing without looking around first, snipers love when someone does that.

His combat training only got tougher from there. Since he was in clan Taldryan, they had a long standing tradition of using the Bryars pistol in combat. It has two modes of fire, one rapid low powered shot, while the other was a slower but more powerful charge shot. Taldryan prided itself on being the only clan to have mastered that pistol, and they demanded that even the newest members become proficient in its use. Kraval was once again ordered to report to the training grounds, but this time he decided to trap his battle team leader, instead of getting trapped.

As he approached the clearing, he crouched down into the dense foliage. He knew his leader was expecting him, so instead of going into the clearing himself, he projected an image of himself walking out into the open. His leader, assuming that Kraval hadn't learned his lesson from the first incident, stood up and began charging his pistol. Kraval, however, saw him aim at the projection and snapped off a few low powered shots at his commanders mid section. As the bolts flashed towards his leader, Kraval's projection vanished into thin air. His leader spun around just in time to take the shots in front of himself. Just when the bolts looked like they were going to strike flesh, they disappeared into a wavy green field. His leader had been smart and had activated his personal shielding unit long before the fight.

No day had ever been more tiring in Kraval's life. He truly learned his physical limits on that morning. Using the Bryars pistol wasn't an easy task. Using the charged shot caused the gun to shake a bit, forcing the user to compensate for the jumpiness of the gun. Then he learned the art of using the gun in actual combat. Kraval had to jump left and right, back and forth, side to side, and whatever way he could think of to avoid getting hit. He tried to shoot back, but every time he fired he would miss his target wide. He would aim for where his target was, and then when he shot, the target would be on the other side of the field by that time.

Kraval finally got the concept that he had to attempt to predict where his target was going and shoot at that spot, instead of where the target was at that moment. Once he got that down there was very little difference from what he was doing there compared to what he did in a fighter. He learned how to adjust shots for mid-air attacks, how to move at the last minute, and how to use the momentum of a hit that would land on his shields and force him back a small distance. As soon as he became good with that weapon, he decided to train in the other commonly used weapons.

[[Image:Sniper Shot 2.jpg |thumb|250px|left|Kraval's sniper training]]

He learned how to use a heavy repeater, how to effectively use the speed shots to lay down suppressive fire. He found out that the secondary fire on that gun shot out a concussive blast that could knock enemy troops to their feet. He learned how to shot a Golan Arms FC-1 rifle. The main blast shoots out shards of medal, while the secondary shots fire two concussion balls that can bounce off walls and was handy for hitting enemies around corners. His favorite weapon, however, was the same one used by his battle team leader during their first training session. It was the Tenloss Disruptor Rifle. A perfect little weapon, it could fire semi-powerful, semi-fast shots that could do some good damage to an enemy's shields. The best feature of the rifle though was the sniper function. It was that part of the gun that had earned Kraval a spot on the Grand Masters Royal Guard. That weapon, and Kraval's excelled use of it, got the attention of his order leader, Sith High Warrior and Dark Jedi Master Gui Long, commonly known as Bloodfyre.

===Leadership===

After a while Kraval took on command of Dark Fire Brigade, Dinaari’s only battle team. Succeeding to Aedile then Quaestor of Dinaari Kraval lead the house for a brief period of time before becoming Arbiter Magistrate then Praetor to the Master at Arms. Due to the ascension of Halcyon Rokir to Deputy Grand Master Kraval was elevated to the position of Master at Arms which he currently holds.

{{quote| Whatever happens, happens. |Spike Spiegel}}

== Character History ==

=== Early life===

Kraval Novir was born into a middle class family in the Silver Sea's hospital on Chandrilla. His father was an Imperial pilot while his mother was a programmer for Hallowan Laboratories. His parents decided to name him Kraval, after a mythical beast from his father's home world. Most of Kraval's early childhood was uneventful. Whenever his mother was at work he would be sent to a child care facility, and seeing as how his father was an Imperial TIE pilot, he was rarely if ever home.

His parents did the best they could with what they had. They would buy him new toys and clothes as a way to make up for their absences, but for Kraval it just wasn't the same. He would break the toys within a week and he kept outgrowing his clothes at an extremely fast pace. While trying to raise young Kraval, his mother learned two things about him. First, he had inherited his father's temper and her sensitivity to insults. These realizations came all on the same day that Kraval was kicked out of school for attacking another boy, although he didn't lay a hand on him.

Kraval was sitting in class minding his own business when Trom, the boy behind him, began to throw wads of paper at him. This sort of thing had been happening to Kraval for years. He wasn't the popular kid in school; in fact he was the type to be easily picked on. Since he had his father's temper he always wanted to fight back, but he also had his mother's kindness which prevented him from doing anything. So Kraval would just take the insults, shoves, and taunts and try not to let them bother him. However, on this particular day Kraval could take no more. For him, this had gone on long enough. Trembling with rage, Kraval turned around and imagined hurting the boy in a horrible way. To his surprise, Trom began to twitch uncontrollably as if he was having a seizure.

A large grin emerged from Kraval's mouth as he kept picturing the boy in pain, but then the teacher grabbed Kraval from behind and was shouting at him about what was he doing. She had a frightened look on her face when she realized that Trom was on the floor but Kraval didn't have his hands near him. The teacher dragged Kraval to the principal’s office where she told him what had happened and upon hearing this the principal looked intrigued. That look vanished quickly as the principle told Kraval he was expelled while he called Kraval's mother to come pick him up. Kraval didn't have to wait long, for his mother was on her way home when she received the call on her mini-hologram cube in the speeder.

As they returned home, Kraval's mother wondered where she had gone wrong in raising her son. She really had tried her best, but apparently it just wasn't enough. What worried her the most though was how Kraval managed to hurt the other boy. It was obvious that her son had Force abilities. That fact in itself was bad enough. That he could focus his hate enough to harm a boy was horrific. The Emperor had exterminated the Jedi order and Kraval's mother had heard stories about what happened to children to display Force powers. She recalled the tales of men clad in black armor storming into homes in the middle of the night kidnapping the Force gifted child while killing the rest of the family. She shuddered at that thought and hoped that no one at the school would report what had happened.

What she didn't know was that the principle of Kraval's school was actually an agent for the Empire, sent to monitor the school and watch for Force sensitive children. As Kraval and his mother left his office, he opened a secure channel to a shadowy figure. He explained the situation to the dark man who then told the agent to arrange for a commando group to take the boy and bring him aboard an Imperial ship. The principle acknowledged his orders, terminated the link, and back tracked the call log and deleted it so no one would know about his conversation. He then went back to work, just as a normal school principal should.

===Introduced to the Dark Side===

At exactly midnight, while Kraval and his mother were sleeping, a commando squad specially trained to deal with kidnapping Force children moved into the house. Contrary to all the rumors and tales about how the squads smashed in and slaughtered everyone, the group moved with great speed and stealth as they entered Kraval's room. They injected him a sedative and wrapped him up in a blanket so his limbs wouldn't flail around and make noise. As the last commando left the home, he unhooked a datapad from the door lock, allowing it to reactivate and purging the lock's records for that day. The commandos hopped into their speeder and zoomed away from the city. They made a sharp turn and drove over the sea, coming to a small cove where they hid their shuttle. They loaded the slim speeder and Kraval onto the shuttle and lifted off. [[Image:Storm_Commando.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Storm Commando that invaded Kraval's home]]

The pilot of the shuttle used Chandrilla's gravity well to help propel them on their projected hyperspace course, and when they emerged from light speed a frigate loomed in front of them. The pilot ordered that Kraval be brought up to see his future. Kraval was escorted to the cockpit by one of the commandos and when he saw the ship in the view port he froze. He had never seen such a large ship. The pilot saw the look on Kraval's face and grinned. He brought the shuttle into a secluded bay where there was a man clad in black armor similar to the ones the commandos wore.

As Kraval headed down the shuttle ramp he glanced at the man in black, his bright red hair and green eyes a stark contrast to his uniform. When the commandos and Kraval reached a point in front of the black clad man, the commandos kneeled before him and the leader pulled Kraval down to one knee. As he waited to what would happen next, he felt something probe into his mind. It was cold, precise, and fast. Before he could identify what it was, it vanished. He looked up and the dark man made a single gesture which confused young Kraval. What did it mean? Would they take him away to be trained, or would they kill him? He soon found out the answer.

===Imperial Training===

As he looked back at that first encounter, Kraval realized how foolish he was to be afraid when he first met one of the Emperor’s Inquisitors. The years following that event went by quickly. Since he was Force gifted, he couldn't be sent to a normal military training academy. He was instead sent to a facility where he could be taught to enhance his skill for flying. Since his father was an excellent pilot, the military testers thought he would be just as great, or since he had the Force he would be even better. Kraval remembered the cliff side hangar and fortress as it stood alone on a mountain surrounded by a dry desert. He recalled being forcibly woken up very early every morning for his training regimen of weight lifting and aerobic exercises. From there he had to proceed to a class room where for eight hours he would learn all he could about star fighter tactics.

Kraval learned everything he needed to know to become one of the best pilots in the Imperial Navy. He learned how to fly a TIE Interceptor against an escort carrier and effectively shoot its turrets while evading shots from the ship and how to get the carrier's turrets to hit its own fighters. He found out how to use a TIE Bomber to engage in dogfights against rebel X-Wings. He even had the privilege of being one of the first pilots to fly the new TIE Advanced. It was one of the best fighters the Empire had to offer. It boasted speed of that beyond what the A-wing could fly, and it carried a descent missile payload to make it a threat to capital class starships.

Now Kraval was placed under the command of Colonel Hirth. The unit under Hirth's command had the task of hunting down the numerous shipyards that built the rebel star fighters. They weren't easy to find, no manufacturer would be dumb enough to have a stationary shipyard to make rebel star fighters. So naturally they made the yards mobile, capable of moving from system to system. That's what made their assignment so difficult, and what was worse was the squad had to rely on Imperial Intelligence to tell them where to go. There would be months when the squad would fly to numerous systems desperately trying to find a shipyard to blow up. Some of the time they would find yards to destroy, but other times they squad would arrive in system only to find that they had just missed catching one.

Then there were the months where the squad did nothing. Intel would have nothing to report and even though most of the squad was Force sensitive, they were only taught enough to benefit their flying skills; they weren't allowed to expand on their powers. So if they weren't out hunting for ship yards, they spent their time training or playing war games. Few of the missions they were sent on excited Kraval, most of them didn't even challenge him. The routine was always the same; you jump into the system, disable the ship yard's hyperdrive, engage the enemy starfighter defenses, and finish off the yard. The only mission that came close to excitement was when Hirth's group was hunting down a mobile yard that supposedly produced X-wings and was guarded by a corvette. The plan called for the squad to make a lighting strike and use the same tactics as always.

===Defiance and Strategy===

When Kraval's Advanced reverted to realspace he realized that Intel had screwed up again. The shipyard was where it was supposed to be, but instead of a corvette protecting it, there was a Nebulon-B Frigate picking up a shipment of starfighters. Surprise flashed through Kraval for only a second. Colonel Hirth ordered the squad to split into four groups of three pilots each which was a big tactical mistake. If the groups split like that, then it would be easy for the shipyards defending fighters and the frigate’s fighters to split them up and pick them off. Kraval realized this and, being the second in command, he ordered the squad to split into two groups of six instead. He ordered one group to attack the shipyard's hyperdrive while he took the other group to begin an assault on the capital ship. Hirth began yelling objections and threatened to court marshal Kraval and the rest of the group if they followed his lead. Which of course, they did, for they too saw the error Hirth made.

Most of the fighters that came out to defend the frigate were easy kills, the best only lasting for a few minutes. The enemy pilots had to be fresh out of an academy, they didn't execute rolls or side swipe maneuvers properly, and their firing aim was the worst Kraval had seen in years. He took care of those fighters easily enough, not a single shot landed on his shields. The station never got the chance to send off a distress signal because the second group made a quick split and destroyed the hyperdrive and the communications tower at the same time. They then regrouped and managed to destroy the station and all of its defenses within ten minutes. It was a simple task for the group, swerving in and out of the dock struts, shooting turrets and weakened hull plates. This is what Hirth's squad had trained for. [[Image:Nebulon_frigate.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Rebel Frigate ''Liberty'' protecting a mobile shipyard]]

The Nebulon-B Frigate did manage to get a signal out before their comm dish was blasted by a proton torpedo, but it made no difference on the outcome of the battle. The cruiser's attempts to protect itself were pathetic. The Advanced squad easily made quick work of the turbolaser emplacements and the missile launcher on the bottom of the ship. Realizing that most of his guns were gone, the ship's commander tried to deploy transport ships to surround the capital ship with mines. That proved useless for when the transport pilots flew out of the bay, instead of laying a mine field, they jumped for hyperspace. Dozens of missiles and laser blasts sailed through the cold vacuum of space, lancing and destroying section after section of the Rebel ship until it couldn’t hold its frame.

As the frigate broke up into a flaming wreck, the squad maneuvered to enter hyperspace. Colonel Hirth commed Kraval and told him that he and the rest of the group would be brought up on charges of disobeying orders and insubordination. Kraval had other ideas about that. He was tired of being under the command of such an arrogant fool. When they arrived back at their base on the moon of Ison, the colonel stormed up to him, his face flushed red with rage. Kraval simply smiled at the old man and formed an image in his mind, an image of a pained Hirth's on the ground. Hirth immediately froze, his body convulsing violently. Those who trained Kraval may not have wanted to further his training with the Force, but he was easily able to remember how he did it as a child. After the colonel's body hit the floor like a string-less puppet, Kraval decided that he wanted to leave the Imperial Navy and learn more about his abilities and how to control them. Without looking at his fellow squad mates, Kraval strode over to a Lambda class shuttle and took it for himself.

===Wandering and Discovery===

For a few years Kraval wandered the Corporate Sector and the Outerrim territories, hoping to find someone who could teach him in the ways of the Force. He traveled from Almania to Alzoc III, and still he had found no one. Kraval had almost given up when he felt a glimmer of power. It was faint, but he was sure he felt something. He plotted a jump in the direction he sensed the power. He had no set destination as he entered hyperspace, but it only took half a minute before Kraval felt the urge to pull back on the hyperdrive levers and snap into real space. He checked his computer's database to identify where he was. The only this he could pull up on his screen was information about the planet in front of him. A large green and brown world, the computer could not identify it. It was a planet covered almost entirely by large valleys and dangerous mountains. This intrigued Kraval, for this planet would be the perfect place for a garrison and a good place for a Force user to hide. Little did he know how right he was.

As Kraval entered the atmosphere, he turned to head towards a city. He didn't get far, for as he passed through a valley turrets appeared from the walls and began to open fire. Only his training saved him, as he got a half second warning and made a quick barrel roll to the left. The turrets began tracking him again and he took more evasive maneuvers, each move faster and more risky than the last. Somehow, the turrets managed to keep up with him, and some even shot at him before he got to a certain location. The turrets knew where he was going to go before he went there. Using his powers the best he could, Kraval stretched out his senses and discovered something very surprising about the turrets. They weren't automated as he thought, instead they were manned by people with the same abilities he had.

Kraval wondered if they could be the ones he sensed before, but didn't have much time to think about it. For that split second when he divided his attention between flying and sensing had cost him dearly. One of the turrets managed to land a shot that pierced the shuttle's shimmering blue shields and made a solid hit on the engines. Kraval was forced to switch over to repulsorlifts and make an emergency landing. Putting all the power he could afford to, Kraval struggled to keep the shuttle from smashing completely into the ground. Just as he was about to hit solid earth, his ship suddenly slowed down and made a soft landing. Kraval, not wanting to know why his ship had for no apparent reason slowed down, dashed back to the cargo area and gathered what he needed in a hurry.

===Attempted Escape===

As he opened the exit ramp, Kraval planted the single explosive on the shuttle. He knew that whoever shot him had tracked his ship all the way down to the ground. He wanted to leave a nasty surprise for those sent to investigate the ship. He set the motion sensors on the bombs and closed the ramp. He consulted his datapad and made a quick sprint in the direction of the city, for the computer said it was only five kilometers south of his current position. It wasn't even ten minutes after he left his rigged shuttle before he heard a loud explosion. Kraval turned around and saw a huge flaming plume rise into the air. He smiled and continued running, for he knew that they would soon start searching the area for him. Oddly enough, there were no search parties that he came across. He thought that it was suspicious, but he moved on, determined to reach the city.

Within a few hours, Kraval managed to reach the outskirts of the metropolis. Now the question was how was he going to get out of there? Obviously these people were hostile to outsiders and most likely weren't going to teach him in the ways of the Force. Kraval peered at his datapad again and found a section that was shaped roughly like an air field. Perfect, he thought. All he would have to do is reach that field, steal a fighter, and blast off. He knew, however, that it wouldn't be that easy. If those turrets were any indication of these people's defenses, they wouldn't be lax about the airfield.

Kraval moved through the city while avoiding attracting unnecessary attention. Fortunately, he was wearing a type of clothing that was common throughout the galaxy, a simple black vest and black pants with leather boots. He weaved in between buildings, trying to stay away from any main roads. It didn't take him long to find the airfield and it took him only a second longer to find the defenses. For an airfield holding starfighters there certainly wasn't much. Four light class AV-21 speeders were moving back and forth and up in the towers were a few guards, but other than that there seemed to be nothing else. Then again, Kraval reminded himself, he didn't see the cannons in the mountains. They may have a similar setup here, he thought, but there was one thing he was sure about. They didn't have landmines setup in the field, because the four speeders were moving across it all the time. But for all he knew there were mines there and they were programmed to recognize certain vehicles and not blow them up. Oh well, Kraval thought, there was only one way to find out.

Kraval managed to get a top of the line Seinar X-T speeder from a dealership under the pretext of taking it out for a test drive. Kraval pulled the speed to a clearing about one hundred feet from the field and checked his pack. He had a modified DL-54 blaster with three spare power packs and three sonic grenades with a special magnetic grip that activated two seconds after the grenade was turned on. He closed his bag and throttled the engine to full and shot off towards the airfield. As he approached the defense lines, he hopped that he wouldn't get blasted into a million pieces.

The defenses were slow to respond to his intrusion, because Kraval made it past the gate and was halfway to one of the pads before any forces responded. As he angled to the landing area, the other speeders attempted to get to teach side of him and put Kraval in a classic "down the middle" trap where they could just fire between themselves to hit him from both sides. Kraval, being the experienced pilot that he was, recognized the maneuver and used the speeder's boosters to zip ahead of the group. When the defenders began to move close together behind him, Kraval grabbed a sonic grenade, activated it, and tossed it high up over his shoulder. One moment he was speeding along, the next there was a medium size shock wave coursing through the air. He looked back and saw only one of the four speeders was left, it was badly damaged and turning away from him. As for the rest, he only saw melted chunks of metal.

When he was within seventy feet of the doors to the pads, two turrets suddenly popped up from the ground, their barrels swiveling to target him. Kraval began another series of evasive turns, but it did him little good. The turrets were too fast in tracking him, and he knew that if he stayed on the speeder for much longer, he was a dead man. Thinking quickly, Kraval attached his bag to the speeder and activated the last two sonic grenades, putting a ten second timer on them. He slowed the speeder down while grabbing his blaster and spare clips. As the turrets continued to fire, he jumped out the side and rolled onto the ground, putting the speeder between him and the turrets. The turrets kept shooting at the speeder, they actually managed to damage it enough to come crashing down in front of them. But the turrets didn't manage to get it to crash far enough away from them. With no warning, the two grenades went off at the same time, the resulting shockwave forced Kraval flat on the ground.

As he stood back up, he noticed that the tower guards were also stunned by the blast, and he was able to shoot them with his pistol before they got to sound an alarm. He dashed for the pads, past the charred wrecks of the turrets and into the pit where an interceptor was waiting. Breathing a sigh of relief, Kraval moved to the ship. As he got within a few feet of the fighter, he thought he saw movement at the edge of his vision. He quickly turned around and brought his pistol up. His head swayed back and forth as he searched for a target, but he saw nothing. He returned his gun to its holster and turned back to the ship. Just as he did that a figure seemed to emerge from the ship's shadow. Right off the ground this man appeared. Before Kraval could even react, the man made a simple hand gesture and Kraval felt the same shadows that the man came from engulf him.

===Dinaari===

When he awoke, Kraval was lying down in a bunk. His clothes had been changed into some sort of white robe. Still wondering where he was at, the door to the room he was in opened. A figure in a black robe stood there staring at him. After a minute or so of scrutinizing him, he motioned for Kraval to follow him. As they moved down a hall made of black obsidian stone, Kraval noticed two distinct symbols on the walls. One was a blue scythe-like shape, and the other looked like a red star gone nova. The two men reached an elevator and when they stepped inside Kraval could see no buttons to press. Instead, when the doors closed, the lift began to move upwards automatically. [[Image:Claw_of_Dinaari.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Claw of Dinaari]]

The doors of the lift re-opened and the black robed man led the way to an extremely large door. As they approached the doors opened to reveal a large office with a desk in the center of it. A man was doing computer work when the two entered. He looked up, stopped his typing, and rose from his chair. He was a man of medium height and medium build. He didn't have bulging muscles threatening to tear apart his clothes, but he wasn't skinny by any means. His face looked like it had been carved from granite, his eyes a silver gray color. His jet black hair was flattened to his head and his ears were the pointiest Kraval had ever seen. He circled Kraval and looked him over. He asked Kraval what he was doing on their planet. He replied that he wanted to learn more about the Force. The man looked suspiciously at Kraval then continued on. He mentioned the shoot down of the shuttle and the little trap that failed to kill much less hurt anyone. The men sent to check out the downed craft had sensed the trap and had used the Force to set off the bombs. The man then talked about the stolen speeder and Kraval's assault on the airfield.

Then the man did something totally unexpected. He congratulated Kraval on making it so far. Many others were put through the same trials as he was, but most never got past the cannons in the mountains. The way Kraval used the speeder bike as a bomb carrier was a good choice given the situation he was in. The man looked at Kraval one more time and then gestured to the man in the black robes. He told him to take Kraval to the Initiation Temple on Karufr. As he left the room, Kraval smiled and noticed the similarity to this situation and one he had as a child. Once again, Kraval was being led on to start his training.

===Dark Side Training===

His training was not easy, nor was it quick. He was surprised at how much he did not know. Then again, he should have realized the truth. When he was with the Imperial Navy, they didn't allow him to focus on anything else other than becoming a superior pilot. He was taught how to expand his awareness to a short range, so that in star fighter combat he could tell what his opponent was going to do. He didn't know that he could expand that awareness even farther, to the point where he could feel other beings in other sectors.

Each and every day Kraval was stunned by what he was taught. He learned how to levitate items of all shapes and all sizes. Even though he doubted it, he had seen instructors lift boulders five times their size. When Kraval tried, he found that lifting objects wasn't that hard at all. Soon he surpassed his fellow students and was moving on to other areas of training. He watched the Krath priests use the Force to empower medallions with the dark side. He saw Obelisk troops use the Force to enhance their fighting skills.

Although he was an excellent pilot, he was by far not the best. Every other day he would get into a simulator and be shot down by one of the senior fighters. Surprisingly, this didn't anger him much. He felt that he did need improvement, especially fighting against people that had the same skills as he. For too long he had fought against inferior enemies, and with each victory he had become lax. Now it was coming back to haunt him. Fortunately, it was only in the simulators that his sloppiness was occurring. With time and training, he would become better. He was determined to be one of the best pilots in the Dark Brotherhood.

Not only did he want to become the best pilot, but he also wanted to become a hand to hand combatant. It was all well and good to be a fighter pilot, but what if in combat his craft was shot down? What would happen to him then? He would be forced to fend for himself on the ground where numerous enemies would await him. He took it upon himself to go and find a trainer, and he was lucky enough to have been placed into clan Taldryan, where some of the best ground combatants are. He was placed into Dark Fire Brigade, under the leadership of Jedi Hunter Fire-Knight. From there, he learned all he needed to know about ground battles.

His first training session had been a joke. There was a huge open area where he was told to report for training, and he walked out into the clearing not suspecting a thing. He barely got a warning through the Force before a shot rang out at him and a spot of burnt grass appeared beside his foot. He looked up and saw a man with a Tenloss sniper rifle cradled in his hands. He jumped down from his spot and walked over to Kraval wearing a smug look on his face. The man introduced himself as the commander, and told Kraval that he had made the first biggest mistake anyone could make. Never walk into a clearing without looking around first, snipers love when someone does that.

His combat training only got tougher from there. Since he was in clan Taldryan, they had a long standing tradition of using the Bryars pistol in combat. It has two modes of fire, one rapid low powered shot, while the other was a slower but more powerful charge shot. Taldryan prided itself on being the only clan to have mastered that pistol, and they demanded that even the newest members become proficient in its use. Kraval was once again ordered to report to the training grounds, but this time he decided to trap his battle team leader, instead of getting trapped.

As he approached the clearing, he crouched down into the dense foliage. He knew his leader was expecting him, so instead of going into the clearing himself, he projected an image of himself walking out into the open. His leader, assuming that Kraval hadn't learned his lesson from the first incident, stood up and began charging his pistol. Kraval, however, saw him aim at the projection and snapped off a few low powered shots at his commanders mid section. As the bolts flashed towards his leader, Kraval's projection vanished into thin air. His leader spun around just in time to take the shots in front of himself. Just when the bolts looked like they were going to strike flesh, they disappeared into a wavy green field. His leader had been smart and had activated his personal shielding unit long before the fight.

No day had ever been more tiring in Kraval's life. He truly learned his physical limits on that morning. Using the Bryars pistol wasn't an easy task. Using the charged shot caused the gun to shake a bit, forcing the user to compensate for the jumpiness of the gun. Then he learned the art of using the gun in actual combat. Kraval had to jump left and right, back and forth, side to side, and whatever way he could think of to avoid getting hit. He tried to shoot back, but every time he fired he would miss his target wide. He would aim for where his target was, and then when he shot, the target would be on the other side of the field by that time.

Kraval finally got the concept that he had to attempt to predict where his target was going and shoot at that spot, instead of where the target was at that moment. Once he got that down there was very little difference from what he was doing there compared to what he did in a fighter. He learned how to adjust shots for mid-air attacks, how to move at the last minute, and how to use the momentum of a hit that would land on his shields and force him back a small distance. As soon as he became good with that weapon, he decided to train in the other commonly used weapons.

He learned how to use a heavy repeater, how to effectively use the speed shots to lay down suppressive fire. He found out that the secondary fire on that gun shot out a concussive blast that could knock enemy troops to their feet. He learned how to shot a Golan Arms FC-1 rifle. The main blast shoots out shards of medal, while the secondary shots fire two concussion balls that can bounce off walls and was handy for hitting enemies around corners. His favorite weapon, however, was the same one used by his battle team leader during their first training session. It was the Tenloss Disruptor Rifle. A perfect little weapon, it could fire semi-powerful, semi-fast shots that could do some good damage to an enemy's shields. The best feature of the rifle though was the sniper function. It was that part of the gun that had earned Kraval a spot on the Grand Masters Royal Guard. That weapon, and Kraval's excelled use of it, got the attention of his order leader, Sith High Warrior and Dark Jedi Master Gui Long, commonly known as Bloodfyre.

== Character History ==

=== Early life===

Kraval Novir was born into a middle class family in the Silver Sea's hospital on Chandrilla. His father was an Imperial pilot while his mother was a programmer for Hallowan Laboratories. His parents decided to name him Kraval, after a mythical beast from his father's home world. Most of Kraval's early childhood was uneventful. Whenever his mother was at work he would be sent to a child care facility, and seeing as how his father was an Imperial TIE pilot, he was rarely if ever home.

His parents did the best they could with what they had. They would buy him new toys and clothes as a way to make up for their absences, but for Kraval it just wasn't the same. He would break the toys within a week and he kept outgrowing his clothes at an extremely fast pace. While trying to raise young Kraval, his mother learned two things about him. First, he had inherited his father's temper and her sensitivity to insults. These realizations came all on the same day that Kraval was kicked out of school for attacking another boy, although he didn't lay a hand on him.

Kraval was sitting in class minding his own business when Trom, the boy behind him, began to throw wads of paper at him. This sort of thing had been happening to Kraval for years. He wasn't the popular kid in school; in fact he was the type to be easily picked on. Since he had his father's temper he always wanted to fight back, but he also had his mother's kindness which prevented him from doing anything. So Kraval would just take the insults, shoves, and taunts and try not to let them bother him. However, on this particular day Kraval could take no more. For him, this had gone on long enough. Trembling with rage, Kraval turned around and imagined hurting the boy in a horrible way. To his surprise, Trom began to twitch uncontrollably as if he was having a seizure.

A large grin emerged from Kraval's mouth as he kept picturing the boy in pain, but then the teacher grabbed Kraval from behind and was shouting at him about what was he doing. She had a frightened look on her face when she realized that Trom was on the floor but Kraval didn't have his hands near him. The teacher dragged Kraval to the principal’s office where she told him what had happened and upon hearing this the principal looked intrigued. That look vanished quickly as the principle told Kraval he was expelled while he called Kraval's mother to come pick him up. Kraval didn't have to wait long, for his mother was on her way home when she received the call on her mini-hologram cube in the speeder.

As they returned home, Kraval's mother wondered where she had gone wrong in raising her son. She really had tried her best, but apparently it just wasn't enough. What worried her the most though was how Kraval managed to hurt the other boy. It was obvious that her son had Force abilities. That fact in itself was bad enough. That he could focus his hate enough to harm a boy was horrific. The Emperor had exterminated the Jedi order and Kraval's mother had heard stories about what happened to children to display Force powers. She recalled the tales of men clad in black armor storming into homes in the middle of the night kidnapping the Force gifted child while killing the rest of the family. She shuddered at that thought and hoped that no one at the school would report what had happened.

What she didn't know was that the principle of Kraval's school was actually an agent for the Empire, sent to monitor the school and watch for Force sensitive children. As Kraval and his mother left his office, he opened a secure channel to a shadowy figure. He explained the situation to the dark man who then told the agent to arrange for a commando group to take the boy and bring him aboard an Imperial ship. The principle acknowledged his orders, terminated the link, and back tracked the call log and deleted it so no one would know about his conversation. He then went back to work, just as a normal school principal should.

===Introduced to the Dark Side===

At exactly midnight, while Kraval and his mother were sleeping, a commando squad specially trained to deal with kidnapping Force children moved into the house. Contrary to all the rumors and tales about how the squads smashed in and slaughtered everyone, the group moved with great speed and stealth as they entered Kraval's room. They injected him a sedative and wrapped him up in a blanket so his limbs wouldn't flail around and make noise. As the last commando left the home, he unhooked a datapad from the door lock, allowing it to reactivate and purging the lock's records for that day. The commandos hopped into their speeder and zoomed away from the city. They made a sharp turn and drove over the sea, coming to a small cove where they hid their shuttle. They loaded the slim speeder and Kraval onto the shuttle and lifted off. [[Image:Storm_Commando.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Storm Commando that invaded Kraval's home]]

The pilot of the shuttle used Chandrilla's gravity well to help propel them on their projected hyperspace course, and when they emerged from light speed a frigate loomed in front of them. The pilot ordered that Kraval be brought up to see his future. Kraval was escorted to the cockpit by one of the commandos and when he saw the ship in the view port he froze. He had never seen such a large ship. The pilot saw the look on Kraval's face and grinned. He brought the shuttle into a secluded bay where there was a man clad in black armor similar to the ones the commandos wore.

As Kraval headed down the shuttle ramp he glanced at the man in black, his bright red hair and green eyes a stark contrast to his uniform. When the commandos and Kraval reached a point in front of the black clad man, the commandos kneeled before him and the leader pulled Kraval down to one knee. As he waited to what would happen next, he felt something probe into his mind. It was cold, precise, and fast. Before he could identify what it was, it vanished. He looked up and the dark man made a single gesture which confused young Kraval. What did it mean? Would they take him away to be trained, or would they kill him? He soon found out the answer.

===Imperial Training===

As he looked back at that first encounter, Kraval realized how foolish he was to be afraid when he first met one of the Emperor’s Inquisitors. The years following that event went by quickly. Since he was Force gifted, he couldn't be sent to a normal military training academy. He was instead sent to a facility where he could be taught to enhance his skill for flying. Since his father was an excellent pilot, the military testers thought he would be just as great, or since he had the Force he would be even better. Kraval remembered the cliff side hangar and fortress as it stood alone on a mountain surrounded by a dry desert. He recalled being forcibly woken up very early every morning for his training regimen of weight lifting and aerobic exercises. From there he had to proceed to a class room where for eight hours he would learn all he could about star fighter tactics.

Kraval learned everything he needed to know to become one of the best pilots in the Imperial Navy. He learned how to fly a TIE Interceptor against an escort carrier and effectively shoot its turrets while evading shots from the ship and how to get the carrier's turrets to hit its own fighters. He found out how to use a TIE Bomber to engage in dogfights against rebel X-Wings. He even had the privilege of being one of the first pilots to fly the new TIE Advanced. It was one of the best fighters the Empire had to offer. It boasted speed of that beyond what the A-wing could fly, and it carried a descent missile payload to make it a threat to capital class starships.

Now Kraval was placed under the command of Colonel Hirth. The unit under Hirth's command had the task of hunting down the numerous shipyards that built the rebel star fighters. They weren't easy to find, no manufacturer would be dumb enough to have a stationary shipyard to make rebel star fighters. So naturally they made the yards mobile, capable of moving from system to system. That's what made their assignment so difficult, and what was worse was the squad had to rely on Imperial Intelligence to tell them where to go. There would be months when the squad would fly to numerous systems desperately trying to find a shipyard to blow up. Some of the time they would find yards to destroy, but other times they squad would arrive in system only to find that they had just missed catching one.

Then there were the months where the squad did nothing. Intel would have nothing to report and even though most of the squad was Force sensitive, they were only taught enough to benefit their flying skills; they weren't allowed to expand on their powers. So if they weren't out hunting for ship yards, they spent their time training or playing war games. Few of the missions they were sent on excited Kraval, most of them didn't even challenge him. The routine was always the same; you jump into the system, disable the ship yard's hyperdrive, engage the enemy starfighter defenses, and finish off the yard. The only mission that came close to excitement was when Hirth's group was hunting down a mobile yard that supposedly produced X-wings and was guarded by a corvette. The plan called for the squad to make a lighting strike and use the same tactics as always.

===Defiance and Strategy===

When Kraval's Advanced reverted to realspace he realized that Intel had screwed up again. The shipyard was where it was supposed to be, but instead of a corvette protecting it, there was a Nebulon-B Frigate picking up a shipment of starfighters. Surprise flashed through Kraval for only a second. Colonel Hirth ordered the squad to split into four groups of three pilots each which was a big tactical mistake. If the groups split like that, then it would be easy for the shipyards defending fighters and the frigate’s fighters to split them up and pick them off. Kraval realized this and, being the second in command, he ordered the squad to split into two groups of six instead. He ordered one group to attack the shipyard's hyperdrive while he took the other group to begin an assault on the capital ship. Hirth began yelling objections and threatened to court marshal Kraval and the rest of the group if they followed his lead. Which of course, they did, for they too saw the error Hirth made.

Most of the fighters that came out to defend the frigate were easy kills, the best only lasting for a few minutes. The enemy pilots had to be fresh out of an academy, they didn't execute rolls or side swipe maneuvers properly, and their firing aim was the worst Kraval had seen in years. He took care of those fighters easily enough, not a single shot landed on his shields. The station never got the chance to send off a distress signal because the second group made a quick split and destroyed the hyperdrive and the communications tower at the same time. They then regrouped and managed to destroy the station and all of its defenses within ten minutes. It was a simple task for the group, swerving in and out of the dock struts, shooting turrets and weakened hull plates. This is what Hirth's squad had trained for. [[Image:Nebulon_frigate.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Rebel Frigate ''Liberty'' protecting a mobile shipyard]]

The Nebulon-B Frigate did manage to get a signal out before their comm dish was blasted by a proton torpedo, but it made no difference on the outcome of the battle. The cruiser's attempts to protect itself were pathetic. The Advanced squad easily made quick work of the turbolaser emplacements and the missile launcher on the bottom of the ship. Realizing that most of his guns were gone, the ship's commander tried to deploy transport ships to surround the capital ship with mines. That proved useless for when the transport pilots flew out of the bay, instead of laying a mine field, they jumped for hyperspace. Dozens of missiles and laser blasts sailed through the cold vacuum of space, lancing and destroying section after section of the Rebel ship until it couldn’t hold its frame.

As the frigate broke up into a flaming wreck, the squad maneuvered to enter hyperspace. Colonel Hirth commed Kraval and told him that he and the rest of the group would be brought up on charges of disobeying orders and insubordination. Kraval had other ideas about that. He was tired of being under the command of such an arrogant fool. When they arrived back at their base on the moon of Ison, the colonel stormed up to him, his face flushed red with rage. Kraval simply smiled at the old man and formed an image in his mind, an image of a pained Hirth's on the ground. Hirth immediately froze, his body convulsing violently. Those who trained Kraval may not have wanted to further his training with the Force, but he was easily able to remember how he did it as a child. After the colonel's body hit the floor like a string-less puppet, Kraval decided that he wanted to leave the Imperial Navy and learn more about his abilities and how to control them. Without looking at his fellow squad mates, Kraval strode over to a Lambda class shuttle and took it for himself.

===Wandering and Discovery===

For a few years Kraval wandered the Corporate Sector and the Outerrim territories, hoping to find someone who could teach him in the ways of the Force. He traveled from Almania to Alzoc III, and still he had found no one. Kraval had almost given up when he felt a glimmer of power. It was faint, but he was sure he felt something. He plotted a jump in the direction he sensed the power. He had no set destination as he entered hyperspace, but it only took half a minute before Kraval felt the urge to pull back on the hyperdrive levers and snap into real space. He checked his computer's database to identify where he was. The only this he could pull up on his screen was information about the planet in front of him. A large green and brown world, the computer could not identify it. It was a planet covered almost entirely by large valleys and dangerous mountains. This intrigued Kraval, for this planet would be the perfect place for a garrison and a good place for a Force user to hide. Little did he know how right he was.

As Kraval entered the atmosphere, he turned to head towards a city. He didn't get far, for as he passed through a valley turrets appeared from the walls and began to open fire. Only his training saved him, as he got a half second warning and made a quick barrel roll to the left. The turrets began tracking him again and he took more evasive maneuvers, each move faster and more risky than the last. Somehow, the turrets managed to keep up with him, and some even shot at him before he got to a certain location. The turrets knew where he was going to go before he went there. Using his powers the best he could, Kraval stretched out his senses and discovered something very surprising about the turrets. They weren't automated as he thought, instead they were manned by people with the same abilities he had.

Kraval wondered if they could be the ones he sensed before, but didn't have much time to think about it. For that split second when he divided his attention between flying and sensing had cost him dearly. One of the turrets managed to land a shot that pierced the shuttle's shimmering blue shields and made a solid hit on the engines. Kraval was forced to switch over to repulsorlifts and make an emergency landing. Putting all the power he could afford to, Kraval struggled to keep the shuttle from smashing completely into the ground. Just as he was about to hit solid earth, his ship suddenly slowed down and made a soft landing. Kraval, not wanting to know why his ship had for no apparent reason slowed down, dashed back to the cargo area and gathered what he needed in a hurry.

===Attempted Escape===

As he opened the exit ramp, Kraval planted the single explosive on the shuttle. He knew that whoever shot him had tracked his ship all the way down to the ground. He wanted to leave a nasty surprise for those sent to investigate the ship. He set the motion sensors on the bombs and closed the ramp. He consulted his datapad and made a quick sprint in the direction of the city, for the computer said it was only five kilometers south of his current position. It wasn't even ten minutes after he left his rigged shuttle before he heard a loud explosion. Kraval turned around and saw a huge flaming plume rise into the air. He smiled and continued running, for he knew that they would soon start searching the area for him. Oddly enough, there were no search parties that he came across. He thought that it was suspicious, but he moved on, determined to reach the city.

Within a few hours, Kraval managed to reach the outskirts of the metropolis. Now the question was how was he going to get out of there? Obviously these people were hostile to outsiders and most likely weren't going to teach him in the ways of the Force. Kraval peered at his datapad again and found a section that was shaped roughly like an air field. Perfect, he thought. All he would have to do is reach that field, steal a fighter, and blast off. He knew, however, that it wouldn't be that easy. If those turrets were any indication of these people's defenses, they wouldn't be lax about the airfield.

Kraval moved through the city while avoiding attracting unnecessary attention. Fortunately, he was wearing a type of clothing that was common throughout the galaxy, a simple black vest and black pants with leather boots. He weaved in between buildings, trying to stay away from any main roads. It didn't take him long to find the airfield and it took him only a second longer to find the defenses. For an airfield holding starfighters there certainly wasn't much. Four light class AV-21 speeders were moving back and forth and up in the towers were a few guards, but other than that there seemed to be nothing else. Then again, Kraval reminded himself, he didn't see the cannons in the mountains. They may have a similar setup here, he thought, but there was one thing he was sure about. They didn't have landmines setup in the field, because the four speeders were moving across it all the time. But for all he knew there were mines there and they were programmed to recognize certain vehicles and not blow them up. Oh well, Kraval thought, there was only one way to find out.

Kraval managed to get a top of the line Seinar X-T speeder from a dealership under the pretext of taking it out for a test drive. Kraval pulled the speed to a clearing about one hundred feet from the field and checked his pack. He had a modified DL-54 blaster with three spare power packs and three sonic grenades with a special magnetic grip that activated two seconds after the grenade was turned on. He closed his bag and throttled the engine to full and shot off towards the airfield. As he approached the defense lines, he hopped that he wouldn't get blasted into a million pieces.

The defenses were slow to respond to his intrusion, because Kraval made it past the gate and was halfway to one of the pads before any forces responded. As he angled to the landing area, the other speeders attempted to get to teach side of him and put Kraval in a classic "down the middle" trap where they could just fire between themselves to hit him from both sides. Kraval, being the experienced pilot that he was, recognized the maneuver and used the speeder's boosters to zip ahead of the group. When the defenders began to move close together behind him, Kraval grabbed a sonic grenade, activated it, and tossed it high up over his shoulder. One moment he was speeding along, the next there was a medium size shock wave coursing through the air. He looked back and saw only one of the four speeders was left, it was badly damaged and turning away from him. As for the rest, he only saw melted chunks of metal.

When he was within seventy feet of the doors to the pads, two turrets suddenly popped up from the ground, their barrels swiveling to target him. Kraval began another series of evasive turns, but it did him little good. The turrets were too fast in tracking him, and he knew that if he stayed on the speeder for much longer, he was a dead man. Thinking quickly, Kraval attached his bag to the speeder and activated the last two sonic grenades, putting a ten second timer on them. He slowed the speeder down while grabbing his blaster and spare clips. As the turrets continued to fire, he jumped out the side and rolled onto the ground, putting the speeder between him and the turrets. The turrets kept shooting at the speeder, they actually managed to damage it enough to come crashing down in front of them. But the turrets didn't manage to get it to crash far enough away from them. With no warning, the two grenades went off at the same time, the resulting shockwave forced Kraval flat on the ground.

As he stood back up, he noticed that the tower guards were also stunned by the blast, and he was able to shoot them with his pistol before they got to sound an alarm. He dashed for the pads, past the charred wrecks of the turrets and into the pit where an interceptor was waiting. Breathing a sigh of relief, Kraval moved to the ship. As he got within a few feet of the fighter, he thought he saw movement at the edge of his vision. He quickly turned around and brought his pistol up. His head swayed back and forth as he searched for a target, but he saw nothing. He returned his gun to its holster and turned back to the ship. Just as he did that a figure seemed to emerge from the ship's shadow. Right off the ground this man appeared. Before Kraval could even react, the man made a simple hand gesture and Kraval felt the same shadows that the man came from engulf him.

===Dinaari===

When he awoke, Kraval was lying down in a bunk. His clothes had been changed into some sort of white robe. Still wondering where he was at, the door to the room he was in opened. A figure in a black robe stood there staring at him. After a minute or so of scrutinizing him, he motioned for Kraval to follow him. As they moved down a hall made of black obsidian stone, Kraval noticed two distinct symbols on the walls. One was a blue scythe-like shape, and the other looked like a red star gone nova. The two men reached an elevator and when they stepped inside Kraval could see no buttons to press. Instead, when the doors closed, the lift began to move upwards automatically. [[Image:Claw_of_Dinaari.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Claw of Dinaari]]

The doors of the lift re-opened and the black robed man led the way to an extremely large door. As they approached the doors opened to reveal a large office with a desk in the center of it. A man was doing computer work when the two entered. He looked up, stopped his typing, and rose from his chair. He was a man of medium height and medium build. He didn't have bulging muscles threatening to tear apart his clothes, but he wasn't skinny by any means. His face looked like it had been carved from granite, his eyes a silver gray color. His jet black hair was flattened to his head and his ears were the pointiest Kraval had ever seen. He circled Kraval and looked him over. He asked Kraval what he was doing on their planet. He replied that he wanted to learn more about the Force. The man looked suspiciously at Kraval then continued on. He mentioned the shoot down of the shuttle and the little trap that failed to kill much less hurt anyone. The men sent to check out the downed craft had sensed the trap and had used the Force to set off the bombs. The man then talked about the stolen speeder and Kraval's assault on the airfield.

Then the man did something totally unexpected. He congratulated Kraval on making it so far. Many others were put through the same trials as he was, but most never got past the cannons in the mountains. The way Kraval used the speeder bike as a bomb carrier was a good choice given the situation he was in. The man looked at Kraval one more time and then gestured to the man in the black robes. He told him to take Kraval to the Initiation Temple on Karufr. As he left the room, Kraval smiled and noticed the similarity to this situation and one he had as a child. Once again, Kraval was being led on to start his training.

===Dark Side Training===

His training was not easy, nor was it quick. He was surprised at how much he did not know. Then again, he should have realized the truth. When he was with the Imperial Navy, they didn't allow him to focus on anything else other than becoming a superior pilot. He was taught how to expand his awareness to a short range, so that in star fighter combat he could tell what his opponent was going to do. He didn't know that he could expand that awareness even farther, to the point where he could feel other beings in other sectors.

Each and every day Kraval was stunned by what he was taught. He learned how to levitate items of all shapes and all sizes. Even though he doubted it, he had seen instructors lift boulders five times their size. When Kraval tried, he found that lifting objects wasn't that hard at all. Soon he surpassed his fellow students and was moving on to other areas of training. He watched the Krath priests use the Force to empower medallions with the dark side. He saw Obelisk troops use the Force to enhance their fighting skills.

Although he was an excellent pilot, he was by far not the best. Every other day he would get into a simulator and be shot down by one of the senior fighters. Surprisingly, this didn't anger him much. He felt that he did need improvement, especially fighting against people that had the same skills as he. For too long he had fought against inferior enemies, and with each victory he had become lax. Now it was coming back to haunt him. Fortunately, it was only in the simulators that his sloppiness was occurring. With time and training, he would become better. He was determined to be one of the best pilots in the Dark Brotherhood.

Not only did he want to become the best pilot, but he also wanted to become a hand to hand combatant. It was all well and good to be a fighter pilot, but what if in combat his craft was shot down? What would happen to him then? He would be forced to fend for himself on the ground where numerous enemies would await him. He took it upon himself to go and find a trainer, and he was lucky enough to have been placed into clan Taldryan, where some of the best ground combatants are. He was placed into Dark Fire Brigade, under the leadership of Jedi Hunter Fire-Knight. From there, he learned all he needed to know about ground battles.

His first training session had been a joke. There was a huge open area where he was told to report for training, and he walked out into the clearing not suspecting a thing. He barely got a warning through the Force before a shot rang out at him and a spot of burnt grass appeared beside his foot. He looked up and saw a man with a Tenloss sniper rifle cradled in his hands. He jumped down from his spot and walked over to Kraval wearing a smug look on his face. The man introduced himself as the commander, and told Kraval that he had made the first biggest mistake anyone could make. Never walk into a clearing without looking around first, snipers love when someone does that.

His combat training only got tougher from there. Since he was in clan Taldryan, they had a long standing tradition of using the Bryars pistol in combat. It has two modes of fire, one rapid low powered shot, while the other was a slower but more powerful charge shot. Taldryan prided itself on being the only clan to have mastered that pistol, and they demanded that even the newest members become proficient in its use. Kraval was once again ordered to report to the training grounds, but this time he decided to trap his battle team leader, instead of getting trapped.

As he approached the clearing, he crouched down into the dense foliage. He knew his leader was expecting him, so instead of going into the clearing himself, he projected an image of himself walking out into the open. His leader, assuming that Kraval hadn't learned his lesson from the first incident, stood up and began charging his pistol. Kraval, however, saw him aim at the projection and snapped off a few low powered shots at his commanders mid section. As the bolts flashed towards his leader, Kraval's projection vanished into thin air. His leader spun around just in time to take the shots in front of himself. Just when the bolts looked like they were going to strike flesh, they disappeared into a wavy green field. His leader had been smart and had activated his personal shielding unit long before the fight.

No day had ever been more tiring in Kraval's life. He truly learned his physical limits on that morning. Using the Bryars pistol wasn't an easy task. Using the charged shot caused the gun to shake a bit, forcing the user to compensate for the jumpiness of the gun. Then he learned the art of using the gun in actual combat. Kraval had to jump left and right, back and forth, side to side, and whatever way he could think of to avoid getting hit. He tried to shoot back, but every time he fired he would miss his target wide. He would aim for where his target was, and then when he shot, the target would be on the other side of the field by that time.

Kraval finally got the concept that he had to attempt to predict where his target was going and shoot at that spot, instead of where the target was at that moment. Once he got that down there was very little difference from what he was doing there compared to what he did in a fighter. He learned how to adjust shots for mid-air attacks, how to move at the last minute, and how to use the momentum of a hit that would land on his shields and force him back a small distance. As soon as he became good with that weapon, he decided to train in the other commonly used weapons.

He learned how to use a heavy repeater, how to effectively use the speed shots to lay down suppressive fire. He found out that the secondary fire on that gun shot out a concussive blast that could knock enemy troops to their feet. He learned how to shot a Golan Arms FC-1 rifle. The main blast shoots out shards of medal, while the secondary shots fire two concussion balls that can bounce off walls and was handy for hitting enemies around corners. His favorite weapon, however, was the same one used by his battle team leader during their first training session. It was the Tenloss Disruptor Rifle. A perfect little weapon, it could fire semi-powerful, semi-fast shots that could do some good damage to an enemy's shields. The best feature of the rifle though was the sniper function. It was that part of the gun that had earned Kraval a spot on the Grand Masters Royal Guard. That weapon, and Kraval's excelled use of it, got the attention of his order leader, Sith High Warrior and Dark Jedi Master Gui Long, commonly known as Bloodfyre.

== Character History ==

=== Early life===

Kraval Novir was born into a middle class family in the Silver Sea's hospital on Chandrilla. His father was an Imperial pilot while his mother was a programmer for Hallowan Laboratories. His parents decided to name him Kraval, after a mythical beast from his father's home world. Most of Kraval's early childhood was uneventful. Whenever his mother was at work he would be sent to a child care facility, and seeing as how his father was an Imperial TIE pilot, he was rarely if ever home.

His parents did the best they could with what they had. They would buy him new toys and clothes as a way to make up for their absences, but for Kraval it just wasn't the same. He would break the toys within a week and he kept outgrowing his clothes at an extremely fast pace. While trying to raise young Kraval, his mother learned two things about him. First, he had inherited his father's temper and her sensitivity to insults. These realizations came all on the same day that Kraval was kicked out of school for attacking another boy, although he didn't lay a hand on him.

Kraval was sitting in class minding his own business when Trom, the boy behind him, began to throw wads of paper at him. This sort of thing had been happening to Kraval for years. He wasn't the popular kid in school; in fact he was the type to be easily picked on. Since he had his father's temper he always wanted to fight back, but he also had his mother's kindness which prevented him from doing anything. So Kraval would just take the insults, shoves, and taunts and try not to let them bother him. However, on this particular day Kraval could take no more. For him, this had gone on long enough. Trembling with rage, Kraval turned around and imagined hurting the boy in a horrible way. To his surprise, Trom began to twitch uncontrollably as if he was having a seizure.

A large grin emerged from Kraval's mouth as he kept picturing the boy in pain, but then the teacher grabbed Kraval from behind and was shouting at him about what was he doing. She had a frightened look on her face when she realized that Trom was on the floor but Kraval didn't have his hands near him. The teacher dragged Kraval to the principal’s office where she told him what had happened and upon hearing this the principal looked intrigued. That look vanished quickly as the principle told Kraval he was expelled while he called Kraval's mother to come pick him up. Kraval didn't have to wait long, for his mother was on her way home when she received the call on her mini-hologram cube in the speeder.

As they returned home, Kraval's mother wondered where she had gone wrong in raising her son. She really had tried her best, but apparently it just wasn't enough. What worried her the most though was how Kraval managed to hurt the other boy. It was obvious that her son had Force abilities. That fact in itself was bad enough. That he could focus his hate enough to harm a boy was horrific. The Emperor had exterminated the Jedi order and Kraval's mother had heard stories about what happened to children to display Force powers. She recalled the tales of men clad in black armor storming into homes in the middle of the night kidnapping the Force gifted child while killing the rest of the family. She shuddered at that thought and hoped that no one at the school would report what had happened.

What she didn't know was that the principle of Kraval's school was actually an agent for the Empire, sent to monitor the school and watch for Force sensitive children. As Kraval and his mother left his office, he opened a secure channel to a shadowy figure. He explained the situation to the dark man who then told the agent to arrange for a commando group to take the boy and bring him aboard an Imperial ship. The principle acknowledged his orders, terminated the link, and back tracked the call log and deleted it so no one would know about his conversation. He then went back to work, just as a normal school principal should.

===Introduced to the Dark Side===

At exactly midnight, while Kraval and his mother were sleeping, a commando squad specially trained to deal with kidnapping Force children moved into the house. Contrary to all the rumors and tales about how the squads smashed in and slaughtered everyone, the group moved with great speed and stealth as they entered Kraval's room. They injected him a sedative and wrapped him up in a blanket so his limbs wouldn't flail around and make noise. As the last commando left the home, he unhooked a datapad from the door lock, allowing it to reactivate and purging the lock's records for that day. The commandos hopped into their speeder and zoomed away from the city. They made a sharp turn and drove over the sea, coming to a small cove where they hid their shuttle. They loaded the slim speeder and Kraval onto the shuttle and lifted off. [[Image:Storm_Commando.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Storm Commando that invaded Kraval's home]]

The pilot of the shuttle used Chandrilla's gravity well to help propel them on their projected hyperspace course, and when they emerged from light speed a frigate loomed in front of them. The pilot ordered that Kraval be brought up to see his future. Kraval was escorted to the cockpit by one of the commandos and when he saw the ship in the view port he froze. He had never seen such a large ship. The pilot saw the look on Kraval's face and grinned. He brought the shuttle into a secluded bay where there was a man clad in black armor similar to the ones the commandos wore.

As Kraval headed down the shuttle ramp he glanced at the man in black, his bright red hair and green eyes a stark contrast to his uniform. When the commandos and Kraval reached a point in front of the black clad man, the commandos kneeled before him and the leader pulled Kraval down to one knee. As he waited to what would happen next, he felt something probe into his mind. It was cold, precise, and fast. Before he could identify what it was, it vanished. He looked up and the dark man made a single gesture which confused young Kraval. What did it mean? Would they take him away to be trained, or would they kill him? He soon found out the answer.

===Imperial Training===

As he looked back at that first encounter, Kraval realized how foolish he was to be afraid when he first met one of the Emperor’s Inquisitors. The years following that event went by quickly. Since he was Force gifted, he couldn't be sent to a normal military training academy. He was instead sent to a facility where he could be taught to enhance his skill for flying. Since his father was an excellent pilot, the military testers thought he would be just as great, or since he had the Force he would be even better. Kraval remembered the cliff side hangar and fortress as it stood alone on a mountain surrounded by a dry desert. He recalled being forcibly woken up very early every morning for his training regimen of weight lifting and aerobic exercises. From there he had to proceed to a class room where for eight hours he would learn all he could about star fighter tactics.

Kraval learned everything he needed to know to become one of the best pilots in the Imperial Navy. He learned how to fly a TIE Interceptor against an escort carrier and effectively shoot its turrets while evading shots from the ship and how to get the carrier's turrets to hit its own fighters. He found out how to use a TIE Bomber to engage in dogfights against rebel X-Wings. He even had the privilege of being one of the first pilots to fly the new TIE Advanced. It was one of the best fighters the Empire had to offer. It boasted speed of that beyond what the A-wing could fly, and it carried a descent missile payload to make it a threat to capital class starships.

Now Kraval was placed under the command of Colonel Hirth. The unit under Hirth's command had the task of hunting down the numerous shipyards that built the rebel star fighters. They weren't easy to find, no manufacturer would be dumb enough to have a stationary shipyard to make rebel star fighters. So naturally they made the yards mobile, capable of moving from system to system. That's what made their assignment so difficult, and what was worse was the squad had to rely on Imperial Intelligence to tell them where to go. There would be months when the squad would fly to numerous systems desperately trying to find a shipyard to blow up. Some of the time they would find yards to destroy, but other times they squad would arrive in system only to find that they had just missed catching one.

Then there were the months where the squad did nothing. Intel would have nothing to report and even though most of the squad was Force sensitive, they were only taught enough to benefit their flying skills; they weren't allowed to expand on their powers. So if they weren't out hunting for ship yards, they spent their time training or playing war games. Few of the missions they were sent on excited Kraval, most of them didn't even challenge him. The routine was always the same; you jump into the system, disable the ship yard's hyperdrive, engage the enemy starfighter defenses, and finish off the yard. The only mission that came close to excitement was when Hirth's group was hunting down a mobile yard that supposedly produced X-wings and was guarded by a corvette. The plan called for the squad to make a lighting strike and use the same tactics as always.

===Defiance and Strategy===

When Kraval's Advanced reverted to realspace he realized that Intel had screwed up again. The shipyard was where it was supposed to be, but instead of a corvette protecting it, there was a Nebulon-B Frigate picking up a shipment of starfighters. Surprise flashed through Kraval for only a second. Colonel Hirth ordered the squad to split into four groups of three pilots each which was a big tactical mistake. If the groups split like that, then it would be easy for the shipyards defending fighters and the frigate’s fighters to split them up and pick them off. Kraval realized this and, being the second in command, he ordered the squad to split into two groups of six instead. He ordered one group to attack the shipyard's hyperdrive while he took the other group to begin an assault on the capital ship. Hirth began yelling objections and threatened to court marshal Kraval and the rest of the group if they followed his lead. Which of course, they did, for they too saw the error Hirth made.

Most of the fighters that came out to defend the frigate were easy kills, the best only lasting for a few minutes. The enemy pilots had to be fresh out of an academy, they didn't execute rolls or side swipe maneuvers properly, and their firing aim was the worst Kraval had seen in years. He took care of those fighters easily enough, not a single shot landed on his shields. The station never got the chance to send off a distress signal because the second group made a quick split and destroyed the hyperdrive and the communications tower at the same time. They then regrouped and managed to destroy the station and all of its defenses within ten minutes. It was a simple task for the group, swerving in and out of the dock struts, shooting turrets and weakened hull plates. This is what Hirth's squad had trained for. [[Image:Nebulon_frigate.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Rebel Frigate ''Liberty'' protecting a mobile shipyard]]

The Nebulon-B Frigate did manage to get a signal out before their comm dish was blasted by a proton torpedo, but it made no difference on the outcome of the battle. The cruiser's attempts to protect itself were pathetic. The Advanced squad easily made quick work of the turbolaser emplacements and the missile launcher on the bottom of the ship. Realizing that most of his guns were gone, the ship's commander tried to deploy transport ships to surround the capital ship with mines. That proved useless for when the transport pilots flew out of the bay, instead of laying a mine field, they jumped for hyperspace. Dozens of missiles and laser blasts sailed through the cold vacuum of space, lancing and destroying section after section of the Rebel ship until it couldn’t hold its frame.

As the frigate broke up into a flaming wreck, the squad maneuvered to enter hyperspace. Colonel Hirth commed Kraval and told him that he and the rest of the group would be brought up on charges of disobeying orders and insubordination. Kraval had other ideas about that. He was tired of being under the command of such an arrogant fool. When they arrived back at their base on the moon of Ison, the colonel stormed up to him, his face flushed red with rage. Kraval simply smiled at the old man and formed an image in his mind, an image of a pained Hirth's on the ground. Hirth immediately froze, his body convulsing violently. Those who trained Kraval may not have wanted to further his training with the Force, but he was easily able to remember how he did it as a child. After the colonel's body hit the floor like a string-less puppet, Kraval decided that he wanted to leave the Imperial Navy and learn more about his abilities and how to control them. Without looking at his fellow squad mates, Kraval strode over to a Lambda class shuttle and took it for himself.

===Wandering and Discovery===

For a few years Kraval wandered the Corporate Sector and the Outerrim territories, hoping to find someone who could teach him in the ways of the Force. He traveled from Almania to Alzoc III, and still he had found no one. Kraval had almost given up when he felt a glimmer of power. It was faint, but he was sure he felt something. He plotted a jump in the direction he sensed the power. He had no set destination as he entered hyperspace, but it only took half a minute before Kraval felt the urge to pull back on the hyperdrive levers and snap into real space. He checked his computer's database to identify where he was. The only this he could pull up on his screen was information about the planet in front of him. A large green and brown world, the computer could not identify it. It was a planet covered almost entirely by large valleys and dangerous mountains. This intrigued Kraval, for this planet would be the perfect place for a garrison and a good place for a Force user to hide. Little did he know how right he was.

As Kraval entered the atmosphere, he turned to head towards a city. He didn't get far, for as he passed through a valley turrets appeared from the walls and began to open fire. Only his training saved him, as he got a half second warning and made a quick barrel roll to the left. The turrets began tracking him again and he took more evasive maneuvers, each move faster and more risky than the last. Somehow, the turrets managed to keep up with him, and some even shot at him before he got to a certain location. The turrets knew where he was going to go before he went there. Using his powers the best he could, Kraval stretched out his senses and discovered something very surprising about the turrets. They weren't automated as he thought, instead they were manned by people with the same abilities he had.

Kraval wondered if they could be the ones he sensed before, but didn't have much time to think about it. For that split second when he divided his attention between flying and sensing had cost him dearly. One of the turrets managed to land a shot that pierced the shuttle's shimmering blue shields and made a solid hit on the engines. Kraval was forced to switch over to repulsorlifts and make an emergency landing. Putting all the power he could afford to, Kraval struggled to keep the shuttle from smashing completely into the ground. Just as he was about to hit solid earth, his ship suddenly slowed down and made a soft landing. Kraval, not wanting to know why his ship had for no apparent reason slowed down, dashed back to the cargo area and gathered what he needed in a hurry.

===Attempted Escape===

As he opened the exit ramp, Kraval planted the single explosive on the shuttle. He knew that whoever shot him had tracked his ship all the way down to the ground. He wanted to leave a nasty surprise for those sent to investigate the ship. He set the motion sensors on the bombs and closed the ramp. He consulted his datapad and made a quick sprint in the direction of the city, for the computer said it was only five kilometers south of his current position. It wasn't even ten minutes after he left his rigged shuttle before he heard a loud explosion. Kraval turned around and saw a huge flaming plume rise into the air. He smiled and continued running, for he knew that they would soon start searching the area for him. Oddly enough, there were no search parties that he came across. He thought that it was suspicious, but he moved on, determined to reach the city.

Within a few hours, Kraval managed to reach the outskirts of the metropolis. Now the question was how was he going to get out of there? Obviously these people were hostile to outsiders and most likely weren't going to teach him in the ways of the Force. Kraval peered at his datapad again and found a section that was shaped roughly like an air field. Perfect, he thought. All he would have to do is reach that field, steal a fighter, and blast off. He knew, however, that it wouldn't be that easy. If those turrets were any indication of these people's defenses, they wouldn't be lax about the airfield.

Kraval moved through the city while avoiding attracting unnecessary attention. Fortunately, he was wearing a type of clothing that was common throughout the galaxy, a simple black vest and black pants with leather boots. He weaved in between buildings, trying to stay away from any main roads. It didn't take him long to find the airfield and it took him only a second longer to find the defenses. For an airfield holding starfighters there certainly wasn't much. Four light class AV-21 speeders were moving back and forth and up in the towers were a few guards, but other than that there seemed to be nothing else. Then again, Kraval reminded himself, he didn't see the cannons in the mountains. They may have a similar setup here, he thought, but there was one thing he was sure about. They didn't have landmines setup in the field, because the four speeders were moving across it all the time. But for all he knew there were mines there and they were programmed to recognize certain vehicles and not blow them up. Oh well, Kraval thought, there was only one way to find out.

Kraval managed to get a top of the line Seinar X-T speeder from a dealership under the pretext of taking it out for a test drive. Kraval pulled the speed to a clearing about one hundred feet from the field and checked his pack. He had a modified DL-54 blaster with three spare power packs and three sonic grenades with a special magnetic grip that activated two seconds after the grenade was turned on. He closed his bag and throttled the engine to full and shot off towards the airfield. As he approached the defense lines, he hopped that he wouldn't get blasted into a million pieces.

The defenses were slow to respond to his intrusion, because Kraval made it past the gate and was halfway to one of the pads before any forces responded. As he angled to the landing area, the other speeders attempted to get to teach side of him and put Kraval in a classic "down the middle" trap where they could just fire between themselves to hit him from both sides. Kraval, being the experienced pilot that he was, recognized the maneuver and used the speeder's boosters to zip ahead of the group. When the defenders began to move close together behind him, Kraval grabbed a sonic grenade, activated it, and tossed it high up over his shoulder. One moment he was speeding along, the next there was a medium size shock wave coursing through the air. He looked back and saw only one of the four speeders was left, it was badly damaged and turning away from him. As for the rest, he only saw melted chunks of metal.

When he was within seventy feet of the doors to the pads, two turrets suddenly popped up from the ground, their barrels swiveling to target him. Kraval began another series of evasive turns, but it did him little good. The turrets were too fast in tracking him, and he knew that if he stayed on the speeder for much longer, he was a dead man. Thinking quickly, Kraval attached his bag to the speeder and activated the last two sonic grenades, putting a ten second timer on them. He slowed the speeder down while grabbing his blaster and spare clips. As the turrets continued to fire, he jumped out the side and rolled onto the ground, putting the speeder between him and the turrets. The turrets kept shooting at the speeder, they actually managed to damage it enough to come crashing down in front of them. But the turrets didn't manage to get it to crash far enough away from them. With no warning, the two grenades went off at the same time, the resulting shockwave forced Kraval flat on the ground.

As he stood back up, he noticed that the tower guards were also stunned by the blast, and he was able to shoot them with his pistol before they got to sound an alarm. He dashed for the pads, past the charred wrecks of the turrets and into the pit where an interceptor was waiting. Breathing a sigh of relief, Kraval moved to the ship. As he got within a few feet of the fighter, he thought he saw movement at the edge of his vision. He quickly turned around and brought his pistol up. His head swayed back and forth as he searched for a target, but he saw nothing. He returned his gun to its holster and turned back to the ship. Just as he did that a figure seemed to emerge from the ship's shadow. Right off the ground this man appeared. Before Kraval could even react, the man made a simple hand gesture and Kraval felt the same shadows that the man came from engulf him.

===Dinaari===

When he awoke, Kraval was lying down in a bunk. His clothes had been changed into some sort of white robe. Still wondering where he was at, the door to the room he was in opened. A figure in a black robe stood there staring at him. After a minute or so of scrutinizing him, he motioned for Kraval to follow him. As they moved down a hall made of black obsidian stone, Kraval noticed two distinct symbols on the walls. One was a blue scythe-like shape, and the other looked like a red star gone nova. The two men reached an elevator and when they stepped inside Kraval could see no buttons to press. Instead, when the doors closed, the lift began to move upwards automatically. [[Image:Claw_of_Dinaari.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Claw of Dinaari]]

The doors of the lift re-opened and the black robed man led the way to an extremely large door. As they approached the doors opened to reveal a large office with a desk in the center of it. A man was doing computer work when the two entered. He looked up, stopped his typing, and rose from his chair. He was a man of medium height and medium build. He didn't have bulging muscles threatening to tear apart his clothes, but he wasn't skinny by any means. His face looked like it had been carved from granite, his eyes a silver gray color. His jet black hair was flattened to his head and his ears were the pointiest Kraval had ever seen. He circled Kraval and looked him over. He asked Kraval what he was doing on their planet. He replied that he wanted to learn more about the Force. The man looked suspiciously at Kraval then continued on. He mentioned the shoot down of the shuttle and the little trap that failed to kill much less hurt anyone. The men sent to check out the downed craft had sensed the trap and had used the Force to set off the bombs. The man then talked about the stolen speeder and Kraval's assault on the airfield.

Then the man did something totally unexpected. He congratulated Kraval on making it so far. Many others were put through the same trials as he was, but most never got past the cannons in the mountains. The way Kraval used the speeder bike as a bomb carrier was a good choice given the situation he was in. The man looked at Kraval one more time and then gestured to the man in the black robes. He told him to take Kraval to the Initiation Temple on Karufr. As he left the room, Kraval smiled and noticed the similarity to this situation and one he had as a child. Once again, Kraval was being led on to start his training.

===Dark Side Training===

His training was not easy, nor was it quick. He was surprised at how much he did not know. Then again, he should have realized the truth. When he was with the Imperial Navy, they didn't allow him to focus on anything else other than becoming a superior pilot. He was taught how to expand his awareness to a short range, so that in star fighter combat he could tell what his opponent was going to do. He didn't know that he could expand that awareness even farther, to the point where he could feel other beings in other sectors.

Each and every day Kraval was stunned by what he was taught. He learned how to levitate items of all shapes and all sizes. Even though he doubted it, he had seen instructors lift boulders five times their size. When Kraval tried, he found that lifting objects wasn't that hard at all. Soon he surpassed his fellow students and was moving on to other areas of training. He watched the Krath priests use the Force to empower medallions with the dark side. He saw Obelisk troops use the Force to enhance their fighting skills.

Although he was an excellent pilot, he was by far not the best. Every other day he would get into a simulator and be shot down by one of the senior fighters. Surprisingly, this didn't anger him much. He felt that he did need improvement, especially fighting against people that had the same skills as he. For too long he had fought against inferior enemies, and with each victory he had become lax. Now it was coming back to haunt him. Fortunately, it was only in the simulators that his sloppiness was occurring. With time and training, he would become better. He was determined to be one of the best pilots in the Dark Brotherhood.

Not only did he want to become the best pilot, but he also wanted to become a hand to hand combatant. It was all well and good to be a fighter pilot, but what if in combat his craft was shot down? What would happen to him then? He would be forced to fend for himself on the ground where numerous enemies would await him. He took it upon himself to go and find a trainer, and he was lucky enough to have been placed into clan Taldryan, where some of the best ground combatants are. He was placed into Dark Fire Brigade, under the leadership of Jedi Hunter Fire-Knight. From there, he learned all he needed to know about ground battles.

His first training session had been a joke. There was a huge open area where he was told to report for training, and he walked out into the clearing not suspecting a thing. He barely got a warning through the Force before a shot rang out at him and a spot of burnt grass appeared beside his foot. He looked up and saw a man with a Tenloss sniper rifle cradled in his hands. He jumped down from his spot and walked over to Kraval wearing a smug look on his face. The man introduced himself as the commander, and told Kraval that he had made the first biggest mistake anyone could make. Never walk into a clearing without looking around first, snipers love when someone does that.

His combat training only got tougher from there. Since he was in clan Taldryan, they had a long standing tradition of using the Bryars pistol in combat. It has two modes of fire, one rapid low powered shot, while the other was a slower but more powerful charge shot. Taldryan prided itself on being the only clan to have mastered that pistol, and they demanded that even the newest members become proficient in its use. Kraval was once again ordered to report to the training grounds, but this time he decided to trap his battle team leader, instead of getting trapped.

As he approached the clearing, he crouched down into the dense foliage. He knew his leader was expecting him, so instead of going into the clearing himself, he projected an image of himself walking out into the open. His leader, assuming that Kraval hadn't learned his lesson from the first incident, stood up and began charging his pistol. Kraval, however, saw him aim at the projection and snapped off a few low powered shots at his commanders mid section. As the bolts flashed towards his leader, Kraval's projection vanished into thin air. His leader spun around just in time to take the shots in front of himself. Just when the bolts looked like they were going to strike flesh, they disappeared into a wavy green field. His leader had been smart and had activated his personal shielding unit long before the fight.

No day had ever been more tiring in Kraval's life. He truly learned his physical limits on that morning. Using the Bryars pistol wasn't an easy task. Using the charged shot caused the gun to shake a bit, forcing the user to compensate for the jumpiness of the gun. Then he learned the art of using the gun in actual combat. Kraval had to jump left and right, back and forth, side to side, and whatever way he could think of to avoid getting hit. He tried to shoot back, but every time he fired he would miss his target wide. He would aim for where his target was, and then when he shot, the target would be on the other side of the field by that time.

Kraval finally got the concept that he had to attempt to predict where his target was going and shoot at that spot, instead of where the target was at that moment. Once he got that down there was very little difference from what he was doing there compared to what he did in a fighter. He learned how to adjust shots for mid-air attacks, how to move at the last minute, and how to use the momentum of a hit that would land on his shields and force him back a small distance. As soon as he became good with that weapon, he decided to train in the other commonly used weapons.

He learned how to use a heavy repeater, how to effectively use the speed shots to lay down suppressive fire. He found out that the secondary fire on that gun shot out a concussive blast that could knock enemy troops to their feet. He learned how to shot a Golan Arms FC-1 rifle. The main blast shoots out shards of medal, while the secondary shots fire two concussion balls that can bounce off walls and was handy for hitting enemies around corners. His favorite weapon, however, was the same one used by his battle team leader during their first training session. It was the Tenloss Disruptor Rifle. A perfect little weapon, it could fire semi-powerful, semi-fast shots that could do some good damage to an enemy's shields. The best feature of the rifle though was the sniper function. It was that part of the gun that had earned Kraval a spot on the Grand Masters Royal Guard. That weapon, and Kraval's excelled use of it, got the attention of his order leader, Sith High Warrior and Dark Jedi Master Gui Long, commonly known as Bloodfyre.

== Character History ==

=== Early life===

Kraval Novir was born into a middle class family in the Silver Sea's hospital on Chandrilla. His father was an Imperial pilot while his mother was a programmer for Hallowan Laboratories. His parents decided to name him Kraval, after a mythical beast from his father's home world. Most of Kraval's early childhood was uneventful. Whenever his mother was at work he would be sent to a child care facility, and seeing as how his father was an Imperial TIE pilot, he was rarely if ever home.

His parents did the best they could with what they had. They would buy him new toys and clothes as a way to make up for their absences, but for Kraval it just wasn't the same. He would break the toys within a week and he kept outgrowing his clothes at an extremely fast pace. While trying to raise young Kraval, his mother learned two things about him. First, he had inherited his father's temper and her sensitivity to insults. These realizations came all on the same day that Kraval was kicked out of school for attacking another boy, although he didn't lay a hand on him.

Kraval was sitting in class minding his own business when Trom, the boy behind him, began to throw wads of paper at him. This sort of thing had been happening to Kraval for years. He wasn't the popular kid in school; in fact he was the type to be easily picked on. Since he had his father's temper he always wanted to fight back, but he also had his mother's kindness which prevented him from doing anything. So Kraval would just take the insults, shoves, and taunts and try not to let them bother him. However, on this particular day Kraval could take no more. For him, this had gone on long enough. Trembling with rage, Kraval turned around and imagined hurting the boy in a horrible way. To his surprise, Trom began to twitch uncontrollably as if he was having a seizure.

A large grin emerged from Kraval's mouth as he kept picturing the boy in pain, but then the teacher grabbed Kraval from behind and was shouting at him about what was he doing. She had a frightened look on her face when she realized that Trom was on the floor but Kraval didn't have his hands near him. The teacher dragged Kraval to the principal’s office where she told him what had happened and upon hearing this the principal looked intrigued. That look vanished quickly as the principle told Kraval he was expelled while he called Kraval's mother to come pick him up. Kraval didn't have to wait long, for his mother was on her way home when she received the call on her mini-hologram cube in the speeder.

As they returned home, Kraval's mother wondered where she had gone wrong in raising her son. She really had tried her best, but apparently it just wasn't enough. What worried her the most though was how Kraval managed to hurt the other boy. It was obvious that her son had Force abilities. That fact in itself was bad enough. That he could focus his hate enough to harm a boy was horrific. The Emperor had exterminated the Jedi order and Kraval's mother had heard stories about what happened to children to display Force powers. She recalled the tales of men clad in black armor storming into homes in the middle of the night kidnapping the Force gifted child while killing the rest of the family. She shuddered at that thought and hoped that no one at the school would report what had happened.

What she didn't know was that the principle of Kraval's school was actually an agent for the Empire, sent to monitor the school and watch for Force sensitive children. As Kraval and his mother left his office, he opened a secure channel to a shadowy figure. He explained the situation to the dark man who then told the agent to arrange for a commando group to take the boy and bring him aboard an Imperial ship. The principle acknowledged his orders, terminated the link, and back tracked the call log and deleted it so no one would know about his conversation. He then went back to work, just as a normal school principal should.

===Introduced to the Dark Side===

At exactly midnight, while Kraval and his mother were sleeping, a commando squad specially trained to deal with kidnapping Force children moved into the house. Contrary to all the rumors and tales about how the squads smashed in and slaughtered everyone, the group moved with great speed and stealth as they entered Kraval's room. They injected him a sedative and wrapped him up in a blanket so his limbs wouldn't flail around and make noise. As the last commando left the home, he unhooked a datapad from the door lock, allowing it to reactivate and purging the lock's records for that day. The commandos hopped into their speeder and zoomed away from the city. They made a sharp turn and drove over the sea, coming to a small cove where they hid their shuttle. They loaded the slim speeder and Kraval onto the shuttle and lifted off. [[Image:Storm_Commando.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Storm Commando that invaded Kraval's home]]

The pilot of the shuttle used Chandrilla's gravity well to help propel them on their projected hyperspace course, and when they emerged from light speed a frigate loomed in front of them. The pilot ordered that Kraval be brought up to see his future. Kraval was escorted to the cockpit by one of the commandos and when he saw the ship in the view port he froze. He had never seen such a large ship. The pilot saw the look on Kraval's face and grinned. He brought the shuttle into a secluded bay where there was a man clad in black armor similar to the ones the commandos wore.

As Kraval headed down the shuttle ramp he glanced at the man in black, his bright red hair and green eyes a stark contrast to his uniform. When the commandos and Kraval reached a point in front of the black clad man, the commandos kneeled before him and the leader pulled Kraval down to one knee. As he waited to what would happen next, he felt something probe into his mind. It was cold, precise, and fast. Before he could identify what it was, it vanished. He looked up and the dark man made a single gesture which confused young Kraval. What did it mean? Would they take him away to be trained, or would they kill him? He soon found out the answer.

===Imperial Training===

As he looked back at that first encounter, Kraval realized how foolish he was to be afraid when he first met one of the Emperor’s Inquisitors. The years following that event went by quickly. Since he was Force gifted, he couldn't be sent to a normal military training academy. He was instead sent to a facility where he could be taught to enhance his skill for flying. Since his father was an excellent pilot, the military testers thought he would be just as great, or since he had the Force he would be even better. Kraval remembered the cliff side hangar and fortress as it stood alone on a mountain surrounded by a dry desert. He recalled being forcibly woken up very early every morning for his training regimen of weight lifting and aerobic exercises. From there he had to proceed to a class room where for eight hours he would learn all he could about star fighter tactics.

Kraval learned everything he needed to know to become one of the best pilots in the Imperial Navy. He learned how to fly a TIE Interceptor against an escort carrier and effectively shoot its turrets while evading shots from the ship and how to get the carrier's turrets to hit its own fighters. He found out how to use a TIE Bomber to engage in dogfights against rebel X-Wings. He even had the privilege of being one of the first pilots to fly the new TIE Advanced. It was one of the best fighters the Empire had to offer. It boasted speed of that beyond what the A-wing could fly, and it carried a descent missile payload to make it a threat to capital class starships.

Now Kraval was placed under the command of Colonel Hirth. The unit under Hirth's command had the task of hunting down the numerous shipyards that built the rebel star fighters. They weren't easy to find, no manufacturer would be dumb enough to have a stationary shipyard to make rebel star fighters. So naturally they made the yards mobile, capable of moving from system to system. That's what made their assignment so difficult, and what was worse was the squad had to rely on Imperial Intelligence to tell them where to go. There would be months when the squad would fly to numerous systems desperately trying to find a shipyard to blow up. Some of the time they would find yards to destroy, but other times they squad would arrive in system only to find that they had just missed catching one.

Then there were the months where the squad did nothing. Intel would have nothing to report and even though most of the squad was Force sensitive, they were only taught enough to benefit their flying skills; they weren't allowed to expand on their powers. So if they weren't out hunting for ship yards, they spent their time training or playing war games. Few of the missions they were sent on excited Kraval, most of them didn't even challenge him. The routine was always the same; you jump into the system, disable the ship yard's hyperdrive, engage the enemy starfighter defenses, and finish off the yard. The only mission that came close to excitement was when Hirth's group was hunting down a mobile yard that supposedly produced X-wings and was guarded by a corvette. The plan called for the squad to make a lighting strike and use the same tactics as always.

===Defiance and Strategy===

When Kraval's Advanced reverted to realspace he realized that Intel had screwed up again. The shipyard was where it was supposed to be, but instead of a corvette protecting it, there was a Nebulon-B Frigate picking up a shipment of starfighters. Surprise flashed through Kraval for only a second. Colonel Hirth ordered the squad to split into four groups of three pilots each which was a big tactical mistake. If the groups split like that, then it would be easy for the shipyards defending fighters and the frigate’s fighters to split them up and pick them off. Kraval realized this and, being the second in command, he ordered the squad to split into two groups of six instead. He ordered one group to attack the shipyard's hyperdrive while he took the other group to begin an assault on the capital ship. Hirth began yelling objections and threatened to court marshal Kraval and the rest of the group if they followed his lead. Which of course, they did, for they too saw the error Hirth made.

Most of the fighters that came out to defend the frigate were easy kills, the best only lasting for a few minutes. The enemy pilots had to be fresh out of an academy, they didn't execute rolls or side swipe maneuvers properly, and their firing aim was the worst Kraval had seen in years. He took care of those fighters easily enough, not a single shot landed on his shields. The station never got the chance to send off a distress signal because the second group made a quick split and destroyed the hyperdrive and the communications tower at the same time. They then regrouped and managed to destroy the station and all of its defenses within ten minutes. It was a simple task for the group, swerving in and out of the dock struts, shooting turrets and weakened hull plates. This is what Hirth's squad had trained for. [[Image:Nebulon_frigate.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Rebel Frigate ''Liberty'' protecting a mobile shipyard]]

The Nebulon-B Frigate did manage to get a signal out before their comm dish was blasted by a proton torpedo, but it made no difference on the outcome of the battle. The cruiser's attempts to protect itself were pathetic. The Advanced squad easily made quick work of the turbolaser emplacements and the missile launcher on the bottom of the ship. Realizing that most of his guns were gone, the ship's commander tried to deploy transport ships to surround the capital ship with mines. That proved useless for when the transport pilots flew out of the bay, instead of laying a mine field, they jumped for hyperspace. Dozens of missiles and laser blasts sailed through the cold vacuum of space, lancing and destroying section after section of the Rebel ship until it couldn’t hold its frame.

As the frigate broke up into a flaming wreck, the squad maneuvered to enter hyperspace. Colonel Hirth commed Kraval and told him that he and the rest of the group would be brought up on charges of disobeying orders and insubordination. Kraval had other ideas about that. He was tired of being under the command of such an arrogant fool. When they arrived back at their base on the moon of Ison, the colonel stormed up to him, his face flushed red with rage. Kraval simply smiled at the old man and formed an image in his mind, an image of a pained Hirth's on the ground. Hirth immediately froze, his body convulsing violently. Those who trained Kraval may not have wanted to further his training with the Force, but he was easily able to remember how he did it as a child. After the colonel's body hit the floor like a string-less puppet, Kraval decided that he wanted to leave the Imperial Navy and learn more about his abilities and how to control them. Without looking at his fellow squad mates, Kraval strode over to a Lambda class shuttle and took it for himself.

===Wandering and Discovery===

For a few years Kraval wandered the Corporate Sector and the Outerrim territories, hoping to find someone who could teach him in the ways of the Force. He traveled from Almania to Alzoc III, and still he had found no one. Kraval had almost given up when he felt a glimmer of power. It was faint, but he was sure he felt something. He plotted a jump in the direction he sensed the power. He had no set destination as he entered hyperspace, but it only took half a minute before Kraval felt the urge to pull back on the hyperdrive levers and snap into real space. He checked his computer's database to identify where he was. The only this he could pull up on his screen was information about the planet in front of him. A large green and brown world, the computer could not identify it. It was a planet covered almost entirely by large valleys and dangerous mountains. This intrigued Kraval, for this planet would be the perfect place for a garrison and a good place for a Force user to hide. Little did he know how right he was.

As Kraval entered the atmosphere, he turned to head towards a city. He didn't get far, for as he passed through a valley turrets appeared from the walls and began to open fire. Only his training saved him, as he got a half second warning and made a quick barrel roll to the left. The turrets began tracking him again and he took more evasive maneuvers, each move faster and more risky than the last. Somehow, the turrets managed to keep up with him, and some even shot at him before he got to a certain location. The turrets knew where he was going to go before he went there. Using his powers the best he could, Kraval stretched out his senses and discovered something very surprising about the turrets. They weren't automated as he thought, instead they were manned by people with the same abilities he had.

Kraval wondered if they could be the ones he sensed before, but didn't have much time to think about it. For that split second when he divided his attention between flying and sensing had cost him dearly. One of the turrets managed to land a shot that pierced the shuttle's shimmering blue shields and made a solid hit on the engines. Kraval was forced to switch over to repulsorlifts and make an emergency landing. Putting all the power he could afford to, Kraval struggled to keep the shuttle from smashing completely into the ground. Just as he was about to hit solid earth, his ship suddenly slowed down and made a soft landing. Kraval, not wanting to know why his ship had for no apparent reason slowed down, dashed back to the cargo area and gathered what he needed in a hurry.

===Attempted Escape===

As he opened the exit ramp, Kraval planted the single explosive on the shuttle. He knew that whoever shot him had tracked his ship all the way down to the ground. He wanted to leave a nasty surprise for those sent to investigate the ship. He set the motion sensors on the bombs and closed the ramp. He consulted his datapad and made a quick sprint in the direction of the city, for the computer said it was only five kilometers south of his current position. It wasn't even ten minutes after he left his rigged shuttle before he heard a loud explosion. Kraval turned around and saw a huge flaming plume rise into the air. He smiled and continued running, for he knew that they would soon start searching the area for him. Oddly enough, there were no search parties that he came across. He thought that it was suspicious, but he moved on, determined to reach the city.

Within a few hours, Kraval managed to reach the outskirts of the metropolis. Now the question was how was he going to get out of there? Obviously these people were hostile to outsiders and most likely weren't going to teach him in the ways of the Force. Kraval peered at his datapad again and found a section that was shaped roughly like an air field. Perfect, he thought. All he would have to do is reach that field, steal a fighter, and blast off. He knew, however, that it wouldn't be that easy. If those turrets were any indication of these people's defenses, they wouldn't be lax about the airfield.

Kraval moved through the city while avoiding attracting unnecessary attention. Fortunately, he was wearing a type of clothing that was common throughout the galaxy, a simple black vest and black pants with leather boots. He weaved in between buildings, trying to stay away from any main roads. It didn't take him long to find the airfield and it took him only a second longer to find the defenses. For an airfield holding starfighters there certainly wasn't much. Four light class AV-21 speeders were moving back and forth and up in the towers were a few guards, but other than that there seemed to be nothing else. Then again, Kraval reminded himself, he didn't see the cannons in the mountains. They may have a similar setup here, he thought, but there was one thing he was sure about. They didn't have landmines setup in the field, because the four speeders were moving across it all the time. But for all he knew there were mines there and they were programmed to recognize certain vehicles and not blow them up. Oh well, Kraval thought, there was only one way to find out.

Kraval managed to get a top of the line Seinar X-T speeder from a dealership under the pretext of taking it out for a test drive. Kraval pulled the speed to a clearing about one hundred feet from the field and checked his pack. He had a modified DL-54 blaster with three spare power packs and three sonic grenades with a special magnetic grip that activated two seconds after the grenade was turned on. He closed his bag and throttled the engine to full and shot off towards the airfield. As he approached the defense lines, he hopped that he wouldn't get blasted into a million pieces.

The defenses were slow to respond to his intrusion, because Kraval made it past the gate and was halfway to one of the pads before any forces responded. As he angled to the landing area, the other speeders attempted to get to teach side of him and put Kraval in a classic "down the middle" trap where they could just fire between themselves to hit him from both sides. Kraval, being the experienced pilot that he was, recognized the maneuver and used the speeder's boosters to zip ahead of the group. When the defenders began to move close together behind him, Kraval grabbed a sonic grenade, activated it, and tossed it high up over his shoulder. One moment he was speeding along, the next there was a medium size shock wave coursing through the air. He looked back and saw only one of the four speeders was left, it was badly damaged and turning away from him. As for the rest, he only saw melted chunks of metal.

When he was within seventy feet of the doors to the pads, two turrets suddenly popped up from the ground, their barrels swiveling to target him. Kraval began another series of evasive turns, but it did him little good. The turrets were too fast in tracking him, and he knew that if he stayed on the speeder for much longer, he was a dead man. Thinking quickly, Kraval attached his bag to the speeder and activated the last two sonic grenades, putting a ten second timer on them. He slowed the speeder down while grabbing his blaster and spare clips. As the turrets continued to fire, he jumped out the side and rolled onto the ground, putting the speeder between him and the turrets. The turrets kept shooting at the speeder, they actually managed to damage it enough to come crashing down in front of them. But the turrets didn't manage to get it to crash far enough away from them. With no warning, the two grenades went off at the same time, the resulting shockwave forced Kraval flat on the ground.

As he stood back up, he noticed that the tower guards were also stunned by the blast, and he was able to shoot them with his pistol before they got to sound an alarm. He dashed for the pads, past the charred wrecks of the turrets and into the pit where an interceptor was waiting. Breathing a sigh of relief, Kraval moved to the ship. As he got within a few feet of the fighter, he thought he saw movement at the edge of his vision. He quickly turned around and brought his pistol up. His head swayed back and forth as he searched for a target, but he saw nothing. He returned his gun to its holster and turned back to the ship. Just as he did that a figure seemed to emerge from the ship's shadow. Right off the ground this man appeared. Before Kraval could even react, the man made a simple hand gesture and Kraval felt the same shadows that the man came from engulf him.

===Dinaari===

When he awoke, Kraval was lying down in a bunk. His clothes had been changed into some sort of white robe. Still wondering where he was at, the door to the room he was in opened. A figure in a black robe stood there staring at him. After a minute or so of scrutinizing him, he motioned for Kraval to follow him. As they moved down a hall made of black obsidian stone, Kraval noticed two distinct symbols on the walls. One was a blue scythe-like shape, and the other looked like a red star gone nova. The two men reached an elevator and when they stepped inside Kraval could see no buttons to press. Instead, when the doors closed, the lift began to move upwards automatically. [[Image:Claw_of_Dinaari.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Claw of Dinaari]]

The doors of the lift re-opened and the black robed man led the way to an extremely large door. As they approached the doors opened to reveal a large office with a desk in the center of it. A man was doing computer work when the two entered. He looked up, stopped his typing, and rose from his chair. He was a man of medium height and medium build. He didn't have bulging muscles threatening to tear apart his clothes, but he wasn't skinny by any means. His face looked like it had been carved from granite, his eyes a silver gray color. His jet black hair was flattened to his head and his ears were the pointiest Kraval had ever seen. He circled Kraval and looked him over. He asked Kraval what he was doing on their planet. He replied that he wanted to learn more about the Force. The man looked suspiciously at Kraval then continued on. He mentioned the shoot down of the shuttle and the little trap that failed to kill much less hurt anyone. The men sent to check out the downed craft had sensed the trap and had used the Force to set off the bombs. The man then talked about the stolen speeder and Kraval's assault on the airfield.

Then the man did something totally unexpected. He congratulated Kraval on making it so far. Many others were put through the same trials as he was, but most never got past the cannons in the mountains. The way Kraval used the speeder bike as a bomb carrier was a good choice given the situation he was in. The man looked at Kraval one more time and then gestured to the man in the black robes. He told him to take Kraval to the Initiation Temple on Karufr. As he left the room, Kraval smiled and noticed the similarity to this situation and one he had as a child. Once again, Kraval was being led on to start his training.

===Dark Side Training===

His training was not easy, nor was it quick. He was surprised at how much he did not know. Then again, he should have realized the truth. When he was with the Imperial Navy, they didn't allow him to focus on anything else other than becoming a superior pilot. He was taught how to expand his awareness to a short range, so that in star fighter combat he could tell what his opponent was going to do. He didn't know that he could expand that awareness even farther, to the point where he could feel other beings in other sectors.

Each and every day Kraval was stunned by what he was taught. He learned how to levitate items of all shapes and all sizes. Even though he doubted it, he had seen instructors lift boulders five times their size. When Kraval tried, he found that lifting objects wasn't that hard at all. Soon he surpassed his fellow students and was moving on to other areas of training. He watched the Krath priests use the Force to empower medallions with the dark side. He saw Obelisk troops use the Force to enhance their fighting skills.

Although he was an excellent pilot, he was by far not the best. Every other day he would get into a simulator and be shot down by one of the senior fighters. Surprisingly, this didn't anger him much. He felt that he did need improvement, especially fighting against people that had the same skills as he. For too long he had fought against inferior enemies, and with each victory he had become lax. Now it was coming back to haunt him. Fortunately, it was only in the simulators that his sloppiness was occurring. With time and training, he would become better. He was determined to be one of the best pilots in the Dark Brotherhood.

Not only did he want to become the best pilot, but he also wanted to become a hand to hand combatant. It was all well and good to be a fighter pilot, but what if in combat his craft was shot down? What would happen to him then? He would be forced to fend for himself on the ground where numerous enemies would await him. He took it upon himself to go and find a trainer, and he was lucky enough to have been placed into clan Taldryan, where some of the best ground combatants are. He was placed into Dark Fire Brigade, under the leadership of Jedi Hunter Fire-Knight. From there, he learned all he needed to know about ground battles.

His first training session had been a joke. There was a huge open area where he was told to report for training, and he walked out into the clearing not suspecting a thing. He barely got a warning through the Force before a shot rang out at him and a spot of burnt grass appeared beside his foot. He looked up and saw a man with a Tenloss sniper rifle cradled in his hands. He jumped down from his spot and walked over to Kraval wearing a smug look on his face. The man introduced himself as the commander, and told Kraval that he had made the first biggest mistake anyone could make. Never walk into a clearing without looking around first, snipers love when someone does that.

His combat training only got tougher from there. Since he was in clan Taldryan, they had a long standing tradition of using the Bryars pistol in combat. It has two modes of fire, one rapid low powered shot, while the other was a slower but more powerful charge shot. Taldryan prided itself on being the only clan to have mastered that pistol, and they demanded that even the newest members become proficient in its use. Kraval was once again ordered to report to the training grounds, but this time he decided to trap his battle team leader, instead of getting trapped.

As he approached the clearing, he crouched down into the dense foliage. He knew his leader was expecting him, so instead of going into the clearing himself, he projected an image of himself walking out into the open. His leader, assuming that Kraval hadn't learned his lesson from the first incident, stood up and began charging his pistol. Kraval, however, saw him aim at the projection and snapped off a few low powered shots at his commanders mid section. As the bolts flashed towards his leader, Kraval's projection vanished into thin air. His leader spun around just in time to take the shots in front of himself. Just when the bolts looked like they were going to strike flesh, they disappeared into a wavy green field. His leader had been smart and had activated his personal shielding unit long before the fight.

No day had ever been more tiring in Kraval's life. He truly learned his physical limits on that morning. Using the Bryars pistol wasn't an easy task. Using the charged shot caused the gun to shake a bit, forcing the user to compensate for the jumpiness of the gun. Then he learned the art of using the gun in actual combat. Kraval had to jump left and right, back and forth, side to side, and whatever way he could think of to avoid getting hit. He tried to shoot back, but every time he fired he would miss his target wide. He would aim for where his target was, and then when he shot, the target would be on the other side of the field by that time.

Kraval finally got the concept that he had to attempt to predict where his target was going and shoot at that spot, instead of where the target was at that moment. Once he got that down there was very little difference from what he was doing there compared to what he did in a fighter. He learned how to adjust shots for mid-air attacks, how to move at the last minute, and how to use the momentum of a hit that would land on his shields and force him back a small distance. As soon as he became good with that weapon, he decided to train in the other commonly used weapons.

He learned how to use a heavy repeater, how to effectively use the speed shots to lay down suppressive fire. He found out that the secondary fire on that gun shot out a concussive blast that could knock enemy troops to their feet. He learned how to shot a Golan Arms FC-1 rifle. The main blast shoots out shards of medal, while the secondary shots fire two concussion balls that can bounce off walls and was handy for hitting enemies around corners. His favorite weapon, however, was the same one used by his battle team leader during their first training session. It was the Tenloss Disruptor Rifle. A perfect little weapon, it could fire semi-powerful, semi-fast shots that could do some good damage to an enemy's shields. The best feature of the rifle though was the sniper function. It was that part of the gun that had earned Kraval a spot on the Grand Masters Royal Guard. That weapon, and Kraval's excelled use of it, got the attention of his order leader, Sith High Warrior and Dark Jedi Master Gui Long, commonly known as Bloodfyre.

== Character History ==

=== Early life===

Kraval Novir was born into a middle class family in the Silver Sea's hospital on Chandrilla. His father was an Imperial pilot while his mother was a programmer for Hallowan Laboratories. His parents decided to name him Kraval, after a mythical beast from his father's home world. Most of Kraval's early childhood was uneventful. Whenever his mother was at work he would be sent to a child care facility, and seeing as how his father was an Imperial TIE pilot, he was rarely if ever home.

His parents did the best they could with what they had. They would buy him new toys and clothes as a way to make up for their absences, but for Kraval it just wasn't the same. He would break the toys within a week and he kept outgrowing his clothes at an extremely fast pace. While trying to raise young Kraval, his mother learned two things about him. First, he had inherited his father's temper and her sensitivity to insults. These realizations came all on the same day that Kraval was kicked out of school for attacking another boy, although he didn't lay a hand on him.

Kraval was sitting in class minding his own business when Trom, the boy behind him, began to throw wads of paper at him. This sort of thing had been happening to Kraval for years. He wasn't the popular kid in school; in fact he was the type to be easily picked on. Since he had his father's temper he always wanted to fight back, but he also had his mother's kindness which prevented him from doing anything. So Kraval would just take the insults, shoves, and taunts and try not to let them bother him. However, on this particular day Kraval could take no more. For him, this had gone on long enough. Trembling with rage, Kraval turned around and imagined hurting the boy in a horrible way. To his surprise, Trom began to twitch uncontrollably as if he was having a seizure.

A large grin emerged from Kraval's mouth as he kept picturing the boy in pain, but then the teacher grabbed Kraval from behind and was shouting at him about what was he doing. She had a frightened look on her face when she realized that Trom was on the floor but Kraval didn't have his hands near him. The teacher dragged Kraval to the principal’s office where she told him what had happened and upon hearing this the principal looked intrigued. That look vanished quickly as the principle told Kraval he was expelled while he called Kraval's mother to come pick him up. Kraval didn't have to wait long, for his mother was on her way home when she received the call on her mini-hologram cube in the speeder.

As they returned home, Kraval's mother wondered where she had gone wrong in raising her son. She really had tried her best, but apparently it just wasn't enough. What worried her the most though was how Kraval managed to hurt the other boy. It was obvious that her son had Force abilities. That fact in itself was bad enough. That he could focus his hate enough to harm a boy was horrific. The Emperor had exterminated the Jedi order and Kraval's mother had heard stories about what happened to children to display Force powers. She recalled the tales of men clad in black armor storming into homes in the middle of the night kidnapping the Force gifted child while killing the rest of the family. She shuddered at that thought and hoped that no one at the school would report what had happened.

What she didn't know was that the principle of Kraval's school was actually an agent for the Empire, sent to monitor the school and watch for Force sensitive children. As Kraval and his mother left his office, he opened a secure channel to a shadowy figure. He explained the situation to the dark man who then told the agent to arrange for a commando group to take the boy and bring him aboard an Imperial ship. The principle acknowledged his orders, terminated the link, and back tracked the call log and deleted it so no one would know about his conversation. He then went back to work, just as a normal school principal should.

===Introduced to the Dark Side===

At exactly midnight, while Kraval and his mother were sleeping, a commando squad specially trained to deal with kidnapping Force children moved into the house. Contrary to all the rumors and tales about how the squads smashed in and slaughtered everyone, the group moved with great speed and stealth as they entered Kraval's room. They injected him a sedative and wrapped him up in a blanket so his limbs wouldn't flail around and make noise. As the last commando left the home, he unhooked a datapad from the door lock, allowing it to reactivate and purging the lock's records for that day. The commandos hopped into their speeder and zoomed away from the city. They made a sharp turn and drove over the sea, coming to a small cove where they hid their shuttle. They loaded the slim speeder and Kraval onto the shuttle and lifted off. [[Image:Storm_Commando.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Storm Commando that invaded Kraval's home]]

The pilot of the shuttle used Chandrilla's gravity well to help propel them on their projected hyperspace course, and when they emerged from light speed a frigate loomed in front of them. The pilot ordered that Kraval be brought up to see his future. Kraval was escorted to the cockpit by one of the commandos and when he saw the ship in the view port he froze. He had never seen such a large ship. The pilot saw the look on Kraval's face and grinned. He brought the shuttle into a secluded bay where there was a man clad in black armor similar to the ones the commandos wore.

As Kraval headed down the shuttle ramp he glanced at the man in black, his bright red hair and green eyes a stark contrast to his uniform. When the commandos and Kraval reached a point in front of the black clad man, the commandos kneeled before him and the leader pulled Kraval down to one knee. As he waited to what would happen next, he felt something probe into his mind. It was cold, precise, and fast. Before he could identify what it was, it vanished. He looked up and the dark man made a single gesture which confused young Kraval. What did it mean? Would they take him away to be trained, or would they kill him? He soon found out the answer.

===Imperial Training===

As he looked back at that first encounter, Kraval realized how foolish he was to be afraid when he first met one of the Emperor’s Inquisitors. The years following that event went by quickly. Since he was Force gifted, he couldn't be sent to a normal military training academy. He was instead sent to a facility where he could be taught to enhance his skill for flying. Since his father was an excellent pilot, the military testers thought he would be just as great, or since he had the Force he would be even better. Kraval remembered the cliff side hangar and fortress as it stood alone on a mountain surrounded by a dry desert. He recalled being forcibly woken up very early every morning for his training regimen of weight lifting and aerobic exercises. From there he had to proceed to a class room where for eight hours he would learn all he could about star fighter tactics.

Kraval learned everything he needed to know to become one of the best pilots in the Imperial Navy. He learned how to fly a TIE Interceptor against an escort carrier and effectively shoot its turrets while evading shots from the ship and how to get the carrier's turrets to hit its own fighters. He found out how to use a TIE Bomber to engage in dogfights against rebel X-Wings. He even had the privilege of being one of the first pilots to fly the new TIE Advanced. It was one of the best fighters the Empire had to offer. It boasted speed of that beyond what the A-wing could fly, and it carried a descent missile payload to make it a threat to capital class starships.

Now Kraval was placed under the command of Colonel Hirth. The unit under Hirth's command had the task of hunting down the numerous shipyards that built the rebel star fighters. They weren't easy to find, no manufacturer would be dumb enough to have a stationary shipyard to make rebel star fighters. So naturally they made the yards mobile, capable of moving from system to system. That's what made their assignment so difficult, and what was worse was the squad had to rely on Imperial Intelligence to tell them where to go. There would be months when the squad would fly to numerous systems desperately trying to find a shipyard to blow up. Some of the time they would find yards to destroy, but other times they squad would arrive in system only to find that they had just missed catching one.

Then there were the months where the squad did nothing. Intel would have nothing to report and even though most of the squad was Force sensitive, they were only taught enough to benefit their flying skills; they weren't allowed to expand on their powers. So if they weren't out hunting for ship yards, they spent their time training or playing war games. Few of the missions they were sent on excited Kraval, most of them didn't even challenge him. The routine was always the same; you jump into the system, disable the ship yard's hyperdrive, engage the enemy starfighter defenses, and finish off the yard. The only mission that came close to excitement was when Hirth's group was hunting down a mobile yard that supposedly produced X-wings and was guarded by a corvette. The plan called for the squad to make a lighting strike and use the same tactics as always.

===Defiance and Strategy===

When Kraval's Advanced reverted to realspace he realized that Intel had screwed up again. The shipyard was where it was supposed to be, but instead of a corvette protecting it, there was a Nebulon-B Frigate picking up a shipment of starfighters. Surprise flashed through Kraval for only a second. Colonel Hirth ordered the squad to split into four groups of three pilots each which was a big tactical mistake. If the groups split like that, then it would be easy for the shipyards defending fighters and the frigate’s fighters to split them up and pick them off. Kraval realized this and, being the second in command, he ordered the squad to split into two groups of six instead. He ordered one group to attack the shipyard's hyperdrive while he took the other group to begin an assault on the capital ship. Hirth began yelling objections and threatened to court marshal Kraval and the rest of the group if they followed his lead. Which of course, they did, for they too saw the error Hirth made.

Most of the fighters that came out to defend the frigate were easy kills, the best only lasting for a few minutes. The enemy pilots had to be fresh out of an academy, they didn't execute rolls or side swipe maneuvers properly, and their firing aim was the worst Kraval had seen in years. He took care of those fighters easily enough, not a single shot landed on his shields. The station never got the chance to send off a distress signal because the second group made a quick split and destroyed the hyperdrive and the communications tower at the same time. They then regrouped and managed to destroy the station and all of its defenses within ten minutes. It was a simple task for the group, swerving in and out of the dock struts, shooting turrets and weakened hull plates. This is what Hirth's squad had trained for. [[Image:Nebulon_frigate.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Rebel Frigate ''Liberty'' protecting a mobile shipyard]]

The Nebulon-B Frigate did manage to get a signal out before their comm dish was blasted by a proton torpedo, but it made no difference on the outcome of the battle. The cruiser's attempts to protect itself were pathetic. The Advanced squad easily made quick work of the turbolaser emplacements and the missile launcher on the bottom of the ship. Realizing that most of his guns were gone, the ship's commander tried to deploy transport ships to surround the capital ship with mines. That proved useless for when the transport pilots flew out of the bay, instead of laying a mine field, they jumped for hyperspace. Dozens of missiles and laser blasts sailed through the cold vacuum of space, lancing and destroying section after section of the Rebel ship until it couldn’t hold its frame.

As the frigate broke up into a flaming wreck, the squad maneuvered to enter hyperspace. Colonel Hirth commed Kraval and told him that he and the rest of the group would be brought up on charges of disobeying orders and insubordination. Kraval had other ideas about that. He was tired of being under the command of such an arrogant fool. When they arrived back at their base on the moon of Ison, the colonel stormed up to him, his face flushed red with rage. Kraval simply smiled at the old man and formed an image in his mind, an image of a pained Hirth's on the ground. Hirth immediately froze, his body convulsing violently. Those who trained Kraval may not have wanted to further his training with the Force, but he was easily able to remember how he did it as a child. After the colonel's body hit the floor like a string-less puppet, Kraval decided that he wanted to leave the Imperial Navy and learn more about his abilities and how to control them. Without looking at his fellow squad mates, Kraval strode over to a Lambda class shuttle and took it for himself.

===Wondering and Discovery===

For a few years Kraval wondered the Corporate Sector and the Outerrim territories, hoping to find someone who could teach him in the ways of the Force. He traveled from Almania to Alzoc III, and still he had found no one. Kraval had almost given up when he felt a glimmer of power. It was faint, but he was sure he felt something. He plotted a jump in the direction he sensed the power. He had no set destination as he entered hyperspace, but it only took half a minute before Kraval felt the urge to pull back on the hyperdrive levers and snap into real space. He checked his computer's database to identify where he was. The only this he could pull up on his screen was information about the planet in front of him. A large green and brown world, the computer could not identify it. It was a planet covered almost entirely by large valleys and dangerous mountains. This intrigued Kraval, for this planet would be the perfect place for a garrison and a good place for a Force user to hide. Little did he know how right he was.

As Kraval entered the atmosphere, he turned to head towards a city. He didn't get far, for as he passed through a valley turrets appeared from the walls and began to open fire. Only his training saved him, as he got a half second warning and made a quick barrel roll to the left. The turrets began tracking him again and he took more evasive maneuvers, each move faster and more risky than the last. Somehow, the turrets managed to keep up with him, and some even shot at him before he got to a certain location. The turrets knew where he was going to go before he went there. Using his powers the best he could, Kraval stretched out his senses and discovered something very surprising about the turrets. They weren't automated as he thought, instead they were manned by people with the same abilities he had.

Kraval wondered if they could be the ones he sensed before, but didn't have much time to think about it. For that split second when he divided his attention between flying and sensing had cost him dearly. One of the turrets managed to land a shot that pierced the shuttle's shimmering blue shields and made a solid hit on the engines. Kraval was forced to switch over to repulsorlifts and make an emergency landing. Putting all the power he could afford to, Kraval struggled to keep the shuttle from smashing completely into the ground. Just as he was about to hit solid earth, his ship suddenly slowed down and made a soft landing. Kraval, not wanting to know why his ship had for no apparent reason slowed down, dashed back to the cargo area and gathered what he needed in a hurry.

===Attempted Escape===

As he opened the exit ramp, Kraval planted the single explosive on the shuttle. He knew that whoever shot him had tracked his ship all the way down to the ground. He wanted to leave a nasty surprise for those sent to investigate the ship. He set the motion sensors on the bombs and closed the ramp. He consulted his datapad and made a quick sprint in the direction of the city, for the computer said it was only five kilometers south of his current position. It wasn't even ten minutes after he left his rigged shuttle before he heard a loud explosion. Kraval turned around and saw a huge flaming plume rise into the air. He smiled and continued running, for he knew that they would soon start searching the area for him. Oddly enough, there were no search parties that he came across. He thought that it was suspicious, but he moved on, determined to reach the city.

Within a few hours, Kraval managed to reach the outskirts of the metropolis. Now the question was how was he going to get out of there? Obviously these people were hostile to outsiders and most likely weren't going to teach him in the ways of the Force. Kraval peered at his datapad again and found a section that was shaped roughly like an air field. Perfect, he thought. All he would have to do is reach that field, steal a fighter, and blast off. He knew, however, that it wouldn't be that easy. If those turrets were any indication of these people's defenses, they wouldn't be lax about the airfield.

Kraval moved through the city while avoiding attracting unnecessary attention. Fortunately, he was wearing a type of clothing that was common throughout the galaxy, a simple black vest and black pants with leather boots. He weaved in between buildings, trying to stay away from any main roads. It didn't take him long to find the airfield and it took him only a second longer to find the defenses. For an airfield holding starfighters there certainly wasn't much. Four light class AV-21 speeders were moving back and forth and up in the towers were a few guards, but other than that there seemed to be nothing else. Then again, Kraval reminded himself, he didn't see the cannons in the mountains. They may have a similar setup here, he thought, but there was one thing he was sure about. They didn't have landmines setup in the field, because the four speeders were moving across it all the time. But for all he knew there were mines there and they were programmed to recognize certain vehicles and not blow them up. Oh well, Kraval thought, there was only one way to find out.

Kraval managed to get a top of the line Seinar X-T speeder from a dealership under the pretext of taking it out for a test drive. Kraval pulled the speed to a clearing about one hundred feet from the field and checked his pack. He had a modified DL-54 blaster with three spare power packs and three sonic grenades with a special magnetic grip that activated two seconds after the grenade was turned on. He closed his bag and throttled the engine to full and shot off towards the airfield. As he approached the defense lines, he hopped that he wouldn't get blasted into a million pieces.

The defenses were slow to respond to his intrusion, because Kraval made it past the gate and was halfway to one of the pads before any forces responded. As he angled to the landing area, the other speeders attempted to get to teach side of him and put Kraval in a classic "down the middle" trap where they could just fire between themselves to hit him from both sides. Kraval, being the experienced pilot that he was, recognized the maneuver and used the speeder's boosters to zip ahead of the group. When the defenders began to move close together behind him, Kraval grabbed a sonic grenade, activated it, and tossed it high up over his shoulder. One moment he was speeding along, the next there was a medium size shock wave coursing through the air. He looked back and saw only one of the four speeders was left, it was badly damaged and turning away from him. As for the rest, he only saw melted chunks of metal.

When he was within seventy feet of the doors to the pads, two turrets suddenly popped up from the ground, their barrels swiveling to target him. Kraval began another series of evasive turns, but it did him little good. The turrets were too fast in tracking him, and he knew that if he stayed on the speeder for much longer, he was a dead man. Thinking quickly, Kraval attached his bag to the speeder and activated the last two sonic grenades, putting a ten second timer on them. He slowed the speeder down while grabbing his blaster and spare clips. As the turrets continued to fire, he jumped out the side and rolled onto the ground, putting the speeder between him and the turrets. The turrets kept shooting at the speeder, they actually managed to damage it enough to come crashing down in front of them. But the turrets didn't manage to get it to crash far enough away from them. With no warning, the two grenades went off at the same time, the resulting shockwave forced Kraval flat on the ground.

As he stood back up, he noticed that the tower guards were also stunned by the blast, and he was able to shoot them with his pistol before they got to sound an alarm. He dashed for the pads, past the charred wrecks of the turrets and into the pit where an interceptor was waiting. Breathing a sigh of relief, Kraval moved to the ship. As he got within a few feet of the fighter, he thought he saw movement at the edge of his vision. He quickly turned around and brought his pistol up. His head swayed back and forth as he searched for a target, but he saw nothing. He returned his gun to its holster and turned back to the ship. Just as he did that a figure seemed to emerge from the ship's shadow. Right off the ground this man appeared. Before Kraval could even react, the man made a simple hand gesture and Kraval felt the same shadows that the man came from engulf him.

===Dinaari===

When he awoke, Kraval was lying down in a bunk. His clothes had been changed into some sort of white robe. Still wondering where he was at, the door to the room he was in opened. A figure in a black robe stood there staring at him. After a minute or so of scrutinizing him, he motioned for Kraval to follow him. As they moved down a hall made of black obsidian stone, Kraval noticed two distinct symbols on the walls. One was a blue scythe-like shape, and the other looked like a red star gone nova. The two men reached an elevator and when they stepped inside Kraval could see no buttons to press. Instead, when the doors closed, the lift began to move upwards automatically. [[Image:Claw_of_Dinaari.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Claw of Dinaari]]

The doors of the lift re-opened and the black robed man led the way to an extremely large door. As they approached the doors opened to reveal a large office with a desk in the center of it. A man was doing computer work when the two entered. He looked up, stopped his typing, and rose from his chair. He was a man of medium height and medium build. He didn't have bulging muscles threatening to tear apart his clothes, but he wasn't skinny by any means. His face looked like it had been carved from granite, his eyes a silver gray color. His jet black hair was flattened to his head and his ears were the pointiest Kraval had ever seen. He circled Kraval and looked him over. He asked Kraval what he was doing on their planet. He replied that he wanted to learn more about the Force. The man looked suspiciously at Kraval then continued on. He mentioned the shoot down of the shuttle and the little trap that failed to kill much less hurt anyone. The men sent to check out the downed craft had sensed the trap and had used the Force to set off the bombs. The man then talked about the stolen speeder and Kraval's assault on the airfield.

Then the man did something totally unexpected. He congratulated Kraval on making it so far. Many others were put through the same trials as he was, but most never got past the cannons in the mountains. The way Kraval used the speeder bike as a bomb carrier was a good choice given the situation he was in. The man looked at Kraval one more time and then gestured to the man in the black robes. He told him to take Kraval to the Initiation Temple on Karufr. As he left the room, Kraval smiled and noticed the similarity to this situation and one he had as a child. Once again, Kraval was being led on to start his training.

===Dark Side Training===

His training was not easy, nor was it quick. He was surprised at how much he did not know. Then again, he should have realized the truth. When he was with the Imperial Navy, they didn't allow him to focus on anything else other than becoming a superior pilot. He was taught how to expand his awareness to a short range, so that in star fighter combat he could tell what his opponent was going to do. He didn't know that he could expand that awareness even farther, to the point where he could feel other beings in other sectors.

Each and every day Kraval was stunned by what he was taught. He learned how to levitate items of all shapes and all sizes. Even though he doubted it, he had seen instructors lift boulders five times their size. When Kraval tried, he found that lifting objects wasn't that hard at all. Soon he surpassed his fellow students and was moving on to other areas of training. He watched the Krath priests use the Force to empower medallions with the dark side. He saw Obelisk troops use the Force to enhance their fighting skills.

Although he was an excellent pilot, he was by far not the best. Every other day he would get into a simulator and be shot down by one of the senior fighters. Surprisingly, this didn't anger him much. He felt that he did need improvement, especially fighting against people that had the same skills as he. For too long he had fought against inferior enemies, and with each victory he had become lax. Now it was coming back to haunt him. Fortunately, it was only in the simulators that his sloppiness was occurring. With time and training, he would become better. He was determined to be one of the best pilots in the Dark Brotherhood.

Not only did he want to become the best pilot, but he also wanted to become a hand to hand combatant. It was all well and good to be a fighter pilot, but what if in combat his craft was shot down? What would happen to him then? He would be forced to fend for himself on the ground where numerous enemies would await him. He took it upon himself to go and find a trainer, and he was lucky enough to have been placed into clan Taldryan, where some of the best ground combatants are. He was placed into Dark Fire Brigade, under the leadership of Jedi Hunter Fire-Knight. From there, he learned all he needed to know about ground battles.

His first training session had been a joke. There was a huge open area where he was told to report for training, and he walked out into the clearing not suspecting a thing. He barely got a warning through the Force before a shot rang out at him and a spot of burnt grass appeared beside his foot. He looked up and saw a man with a Tenloss sniper rifle cradled in his hands. He jumped down from his spot and walked over to Kraval wearing a smug look on his face. The man introduced himself as the commander, and told Kraval that he had made the first biggest mistake anyone could make. Never walk into a clearing without looking around first, snipers love when someone does that.

His combat training only got tougher from there. Since he was in clan Taldryan, they had a long standing tradition of using the Bryars pistol in combat. It has two modes of fire, one rapid low powered shot, while the other was a slower but more powerful charge shot. Taldryan prided itself on being the only clan to have mastered that pistol, and they demanded that even the newest members become proficient in its use. Kraval was once again ordered to report to the training grounds, but this time he decided to trap his battle team leader, instead of getting trapped.

As he approached the clearing, he crouched down into the dense foliage. He knew his leader was expecting him, so instead of going into the clearing himself, he projected an image of himself walking out into the open. His leader, assuming that Kraval hadn't learned his lesson from the first incident, stood up and began charging his pistol. Kraval, however, saw him aim at the projection and snapped off a few low powered shots at his commanders mid section. As the bolts flashed towards his leader, Kraval's projection vanished into thin air. His leader spun around just in time to take the shots in front of himself. Just when the bolts looked like they were going to strike flesh, they disappeared into a wavy green field. His leader had been smart and had activated his personal shielding unit long before the fight.

No day had ever been more tiring in Kraval's life. He truly learned his physical limits on that morning. Using the Bryars pistol wasn't an easy task. Using the charged shot caused the gun to shake a bit, forcing the user to compensate for the jumpiness of the gun. Then he learned the art of using the gun in actual combat. Kraval had to jump left and right, back and forth, side to side, and whatever way he could think of to avoid getting hit. He tried to shoot back, but every time he fired he would miss his target wide. He would aim for where his target was, and then when he shot, the target would be on the other side of the field by that time.

Kraval finally got the concept that he had to attempt to predict where his target was going and shoot at that spot, instead of where the target was at that moment. Once he got that down there was very little difference from what he was doing there compared to what he did in a fighter. He learned how to adjust shots for mid-air attacks, how to move at the last minute, and how to use the momentum of a hit that would land on his shields and force him back a small distance. As soon as he became good with that weapon, he decided to train in the other commonly used weapons.

He learned how to use a heavy repeater, how to effectively use the speed shots to lay down suppressive fire. He found out that the secondary fire on that gun shot out a concussive blast that could knock enemy troops to their feet. He learned how to shot a Golan Arms FC-1 rifle. The main blast shoots out shards of medal, while the secondary shots fire two concussion balls that can bounce off walls and was handy for hitting enemies around corners. His favorite weapon, however, was the same one used by his battle team leader during their first training session. It was the Tenloss Disruptor Rifle. A perfect little weapon, it could fire semi-powerful, semi-fast shots that could do some good damage to an enemy's shields. The best feature of the rifle though was the sniper function. It was that part of the gun that had earned Kraval a spot on the Grand Masters Royal Guard. That weapon, and Kraval's excelled use of it, got the attention of his order leader, Sith High Warrior and Dark Jedi Master Gui Long, commonly known as Bloodfyre.

MAA Policies

2007-12-10T16:11:35Z

Kraval:

# All recommendations for rewards are required to contain specific, concrete details. We are not interested in the fact that someone is great; we are interested in how they are great.
# Silent AWOL checks are prohibited for all members ranked Jedi Hunter and below. Silent AWOL checks are allowed for members ranked Dark Jedi Knight and above. Silent AWOL checks are defined as AWOL checks that lack a formal email notice.
# Families cannot exceed 10 members in size. Those currently with more than 10 members can maintain their current membership but cannot recruit new members.
# Do not use the transfer request form as a place for argument. If you have a problem with your superiors, address it to their superior. Don’t just run away without addressing the problems. Transfers are the last resort. If you are transferring due to problems within your current Clan, you are to e-mail the MAA prior to transferring.
# If you want to run a competition for a group that you are not currently in charge of or that you are not a member of, you must get prior approval from someone that is. If you wish to award a medal that you do not have access to recommend, you must get approval from someone that does. You must indicate this approval in competition requests that are submitted to the database.
# Do not tell someone they are going to be promoted or given a medal before it has been approved, as there is no guarantee it will be approved.
# Do not whine about or demand a reward. The MAA office does not look favourably upon this, nor do most leaders within the DB.
# To lessen confusion within a Clan, all medals and promotions should be known by your superiors before they are recommended. The Clan Summit should know what is happening within the houses, and the House Summit should know what is happening within the Battle Teams.
# No merit medals may be given for specific, stated tasks. You may not award merit medals for single competition participation or placement unless said competition was a large scale competition taking extended time and dedication (like a Vendetta). In those cases, confer with the MAA before announcing any awards.
# As much as it would be good to divorce the medal and promotion system, it is simply impossible to do so given the history of the Brotherhood and the logistical impossibility of differentiating between certain types of activity. Therefore, the two systems are not completely divorced. Recommendations for merit medals, followed by a quick recommendation for promotion for effectively the same activities will not be approved. If you award someone a medal, it is unlikely that they will be considered for a promotion immediately thereafter. However, in the case of larger promotions and larger medals, considerations will be made that encompass all the activities that a member undertakes. Do not try to “double-dip.” This includes small competitions – you cannot receive a Crescent and a Legion of the Scholar for trivia: only one.
# Time in rank and time in the Brotherhood factor into promotions. There are no set limits on how much time you must spend at a certain rank or in the Brotherhood but it is expected that people spend a reasonable time at each level. It is also expected that competent leaders take this into account.
# Recruiting from other Clans is strongly discouraged. Blatant attempts to get someone to join your Clan from another Clan by offering people medals, promotions or positions will be referred to the Chamber of Justice. This does not include legitimate open application periods for positions wherein someone could join another Clan by applying for and being offered a new position. Other recruiting attempts (those without bribes) are strongly discouraged. If you develop a reputation for siphoning off members, you will not be protected from harsh criticism received by your colleagues. Learn to take responsibility for your own actions.
# Transfers from Clan to Clan will be more rigorously examined. Each one will be investigated by the MAA. Be sure to have a legitimate reason and any such requests should be discussed with your Clan leaders before a transfer request is made. Rogue hopping will not be allowed.
# Do not cite precedent on anything when arguing a reward or competition denial as recent changes to the system involves changing what is considered “precedent”. If you have a question about something, contact your superior or the MAA directly.
# It is strongly suggested that all Summits start keeping a close account of all activities their members engage in. This ranges from hanging out on IRC to participating in a competition to completing a massive Clan project. Record what your members do. It will make it easier for you to justify a reward when you want to reward them. It will also eventually be required that you do this.
# Do not presume that Clan institutions confer validity on your recommendations. How a Clan is ultimately run is determined by the Consul and Clan leaders, not the MAA. However, any authority that specific leaders and bodies within a Clan may have do not carry over to the rewarding of medals or promotions. Legitimate recommendations are legitimate recommendations irrespective of who submits them to me and under what fictional authority.
# The Master/Student program is not recognized by the MAA as an official one. If you are the master of a member of the Dark Brotherhood and said student has performed some set of tasks to gain rank then the request for promotion of your student must be through house or clan leadership as they are recognized as having the authority to recommend.
# Official dossier names are to contain only four parts for names. Hyphenated words will not be counted as one word but as two.

== Character History ==

=== Early life===

Kraval Novir was born into a middle class family in the Silver Sea's hospital on Chandrilla. His father was an Imperial pilot while his mother was a programmer for Hallowan Laboratories. His parents decided to name him Kraval, after a mythical beast from his father's home world. Most of Kraval's early childhood was uneventful. Whenever his mother was at work he would be sent to a child care facility, and seeing as how his father was an Imperial TIE pilot, he was rarely if ever home.

His parents did the best they could with what they had. They would buy him new toys and clothes as a way to make up for their absences, but for Kraval it just wasn't the same. He would break the toys within a week and he kept outgrowing his clothes at an extremely fast pace. While trying to raise young Kraval, his mother learned two things about him. First, he had inherited his father's temper and her sensitivity to insults. These realizations came all on the same day that Kraval was kicked out of school for attacking another boy, although he didn't lay a hand on him.

Kraval was sitting in class minding his own business when Trom, the boy behind him, began to throw wads of paper at him. This sort of thing had been happening to Kraval for years. He wasn't the popular kid in school; in fact he was the type to be easily picked on. Since he had his father's temper he always wanted to fight back, but he also had his mother's kindness which prevented him from doing anything. So Kraval would just take the insults, shoves, and taunts and try not to let them bother him. However, on this particular day Kraval could take no more. For him, this had gone on long enough. Trembling with rage, Kraval turned around and imagined hurting the boy in a horrible way. To his surprise, Trom began to twitch uncontrollably as if he was having a seizure.

A large grin emerged from Kraval's mouth as he kept picturing the boy in pain, but then the teacher grabbed Kraval from behind and was shouting at him about what was he doing. She had a frightened look on her face when she realized that Trom was on the floor but Kraval didn't have his hands near him. The teacher dragged Kraval to the principal’s office where she told him what had happened and upon hearing this the principal looked intrigued. That look vanished quickly as the principle told Kraval he was expelled while he called Kraval's mother to come pick him up. Kraval didn't have to wait long, for his mother was on her way home when she received the call on her mini-hologram cube in the speeder.

As they returned home, Kraval's mother wondered where she had gone wrong in raising her son. She really had tried her best, but apparently it just wasn't enough. What worried her the most though was how Kraval managed to hurt the other boy. It was obvious that her son had Force abilities. That fact in itself was bad enough. That he could focus his hate enough to harm a boy was horrific. The Emperor had exterminated the Jedi order and Kraval's mother had heard stories about what happened to children to display Force powers. She recalled the tales of men clad in black armor storming into homes in the middle of the night kidnapping the Force gifted child while killing the rest of the family. She shuddered at that thought and hoped that no one at the school would report what had happened.

What she didn't know was that the principle of Kraval's school was actually an agent for the Empire, sent to monitor the school and watch for Force sensitive children. As Kraval and his mother left his office, he opened a secure channel to a shadowy figure. He explained the situation to the dark man who then told the agent to arrange for a commando group to take the boy and bring him aboard an Imperial ship. The principle acknowledged his orders, terminated the link, and back tracked the call log and deleted it so no one would know about his conversation. He then went back to work, just as a normal school principal should.

===Introduced to the Dark Side===

At exactly midnight, while Kraval and his mother were sleeping, a commando squad specially trained to deal with kidnapping Force children moved into the house. Contrary to all the rumors and tales about how the squads smashed in and slaughtered everyone, the group moved with great speed and stealth as they entered Kraval's room. They injected him a sedative and wrapped him up in a blanket so his limbs wouldn't flail around and make noise. As the last commando left the home, he unhooked a datapad from the door lock, allowing it to reactivate and purging the lock's records for that day. The commandos hopped into their speeder and zoomed away from the city. They made a sharp turn and drove over the sea, coming to a small cove where they hid their shuttle. They loaded the slim speeder and Kraval onto the shuttle and lifted off. [[Image:Storm_Commando.jpg |thumb|200px|right]]

The pilot of the shuttle used Chandrilla's gravity well to help propel them on their projected hyperspace course, and when they emerged from light speed a frigate loomed in front of them. The pilot ordered that Kraval be brought up to see his future. Kraval was escorted to the cockpit by one of the commandos and when he saw the ship in the view port he froze. He had never seen such a large ship. The pilot saw the look on Kraval's face and grinned. He brought the shuttle into a secluded bay where there was a man clad in black armor similar to the ones the commandos wore.

As Kraval headed down the shuttle ramp he glanced at the man in black, his bright red hair and green eyes a stark contrast to his uniform. When the commandos and Kraval reached a point in front of the black clad man, the commandos kneeled before him and the leader pulled Kraval down to one knee. As he waited to what would happen next, he felt something probe into his mind. It was cold, precise, and fast. Before he could identify what it was, it vanished. He looked up and the dark man made a single gesture which confused young Kraval. What did it mean? Would they take him away to be trained, or would they kill him? He soon found out the answer.

===Imperial Training===

As he looked back at that first encounter, Kraval realized how foolish he was to be afraid when he first met one of the Emperor’s Inquisitors. The years following that event went by quickly. Since he was Force gifted, he couldn't be sent to a normal military training academy. He was instead sent to a facility where he could be taught to enhance his skill for flying. Since his father was an excellent pilot, the military testers thought he would be just as great, or since he had the Force he would be even better. Kraval remembered the cliff side hangar and fortress as it stood alone on a mountain surrounded by a dry desert. He recalled being forcibly woken up very early every morning for his training regimen of weight lifting and aerobic exercises. From there he had to proceed to a class room where for eight hours he would learn all he could about star fighter tactics.

Kraval learned everything he needed to know to become one of the best pilots in the Imperial Navy. He learned how to fly a TIE Interceptor against an escort carrier and effectively shoot its turrets while evading shots from the ship and how to get the carrier's turrets to hit its own fighters. He found out how to use a TIE Bomber to engage in dogfights against rebel X-Wings. He even had the privilege of being one of the first pilots to fly the new TIE Advanced. It was one of the best fighters the Empire had to offer. It boasted speed of that beyond what the A-wing could fly, and it carried a descent missile payload to make it a threat to capital class starships.

Now Kraval was placed under the command of Colonel Hirth. The unit under Hirth's command had the task of hunting down the numerous shipyards that built the rebel star fighters. They weren't easy to find, no manufacturer would be dumb enough to have a stationary shipyard to make rebel star fighters. So naturally they made the yards mobile, capable of moving from system to system. That's what made their assignment so difficult, and what was worse was the squad had to rely on Imperial Intelligence to tell them where to go. There would be months when the squad would fly to numerous systems desperately trying to find a shipyard to blow up. Some of the time they would find yards to destroy, but other times they squad would arrive in system only to find that they had just missed catching one.

Then there were the months where the squad did nothing. Intel would have nothing to report and even though most of the squad was Force sensitive, they were only taught enough to benefit their flying skills; they weren't allowed to expand on their powers. So if they weren't out hunting for ship yards, they spent their time training or playing war games. Few of the missions they were sent on excited Kraval, most of them didn't even challenge him. The routine was always the same; you jump into the system, disable the ship yard's hyperdrive, engage the enemy starfighter defenses, and finish off the yard. The only mission that came close to excitement was when Hirth's group was hunting down a mobile yard that supposedly produced X-wings and was guarded by a corvette. The plan called for the squad to make a lighting strike and use the same tactics as always.

===Defiance and Strategy===

When Kraval's Advanced reverted to realspace he realized that Intel had screwed up again. The shipyard was where it was supposed to be, but instead of a corvette protecting it, there was a Nebulon-B Frigate picking up a shipment of starfighters. Surprise flashed through Kraval for only a second. Colonel Hirth ordered the squad to split into four groups of three pilots each which was a big tactical mistake. If the groups split like that, then it would be easy for the shipyards defending fighters and the frigate’s fighters to split them up and pick them off. Kraval realized this and, being the second in command, he ordered the squad to split into two groups of six instead. He ordered one group to attack the shipyard's hyperdrive while he took the other group to begin an assault on the capital ship. Hirth began yelling objections and threatened to court marshal Kraval and the rest of the group if they followed his lead. Which of course, they did, for they too saw the error Hirth made.

Most of the fighters that came out to defend the frigate were easy kills, the best only lasting for a few minutes. The enemy pilots had to be fresh out of an academy, they didn't execute rolls or side swipe maneuvers properly, and their firing aim was the worst Kraval had seen in years. He took care of those fighters easily enough, not a single shot landed on his shields. The station never got the chance to send off a distress signal because the second group made a quick split and destroyed the hyperdrive and the communications tower at the same time. They then regrouped and managed to destroy the station and all of its defenses within ten minutes. It was a simple task for the group, swerving in and out of the dock struts, shooting turrets and weakened hull plates. This is what Hirth's squad had trained for. [[Image:Nebulon_frigate.jpg |thumb|200px|right]]

The Nebulon-B Frigate did manage to get a signal out before their comm dish was blasted by a proton torpedo, but it made no difference on the outcome of the battle. The cruiser's attempts to protect itself were pathetic. The Advanced squad easily made quick work of the turbolaser emplacements and the missile launcher on the bottom of the ship. Realizing that most of his guns were gone, the ship's commander tried to deploy transport ships to surround the capital ship with mines. That proved useless for when the transport pilots flew out of the bay, instead of laying a mine field, they jumped for hyperspace. Dozens of missiles and laser blasts sailed through the cold vacuum of space, lancing and destroying section after section of the Rebel ship until it couldn’t hold its frame.

As the frigate broke up into a flaming wreck, the squad maneuvered to enter hyperspace. Colonel Hirth commed Kraval and told him that he and the rest of the group would be brought up on charges of disobeying orders and insubordination. Kraval had other ideas about that. He was tired of being under the command of such an arrogant fool. When they arrived back at their base on the moon of Ison, the colonel stormed up to him, his face flushed red with rage. Kraval simply smiled at the old man and formed an image in his mind, an image of a pained Hirth's on the ground. Hirth immediately froze, his body convulsing violently. Those who trained Kraval may not have wanted to further his training with the Force, but he was easily able to remember how he did it as a child. After the colonel's body hit the floor like a string-less puppet, Kraval decided that he wanted to leave the Imperial Navy and learn more about his abilities and how to control them. Without looking at his fellow squad mates, Kraval strode over to a Lambda class shuttle and took it for himself.

===Wondering and Discovery===

For a few years Kraval wondered the Corporate Sector and the Outerrim territories, hoping to find someone who could teach him in the ways of the Force. He traveled from Almania to Alzoc III, and still he had found no one. Kraval had almost given up when he felt a glimmer of power. It was faint, but he was sure he felt something. He plotted a jump in the direction he sensed the power. He had no set destination as he entered hyperspace, but it only took half a minute before Kraval felt the urge to pull back on the hyperdrive levers and snap into real space. He checked his computer's database to identify where he was. The only this he could pull up on his screen was information about the planet in front of him. A large green and brown world, the computer could not identify it. It was a planet covered almost entirely by large valleys and dangerous mountains. This intrigued Kraval, for this planet would be the perfect place for a garrison and a good place for a Force user to hide. Little did he know how right he was.

As Kraval entered the atmosphere, he turned to head towards a city. He didn't get far, for as he passed through a valley turrets appeared from the walls and began to open fire. Only his training saved him, as he got a half second warning and made a quick barrel roll to the left. The turrets began tracking him again and he took more evasive maneuvers, each move faster and more risky than the last. Somehow, the turrets managed to keep up with him, and some even shot at him before he got to a certain location. The turrets knew where he was going to go before he went there. Using his powers the best he could, Kraval stretched out his senses and discovered something very surprising about the turrets. They weren't automated as he thought, instead they were manned by people with the same abilities he had.

Kraval wondered if they could be the ones he sensed before, but didn't have much time to think about it. For that split second when he divided his attention between flying and sensing had cost him dearly. One of the turrets managed to land a shot that pierced the shuttle's shimmering blue shields and made a solid hit on the engines. Kraval was forced to switch over to repulsorlifts and make an emergency landing. Putting all the power he could afford to, Kraval struggled to keep the shuttle from smashing completely into the ground. Just as he was about to hit solid earth, his ship suddenly slowed down and made a soft landing. Kraval, not wanting to know why his ship had for no apparent reason slowed down, dashed back to the cargo area and gathered what he needed in a hurry.

===Attempted Escape===

As he opened the exit ramp, Kraval planted the single explosive on the shuttle. He knew that whoever shot him had tracked his ship all the way down to the ground. He wanted to leave a nasty surprise for those sent to investigate the ship. He set the motion sensors on the bombs and closed the ramp. He consulted his datapad and made a quick sprint in the direction of the city, for the computer said it was only five kilometers south of his current position. It wasn't even ten minutes after he left his rigged shuttle before he heard a loud explosion. Kraval turned around and saw a huge flaming plume rise into the air. He smiled and continued running, for he knew that they would soon start searching the area for him. Oddly enough, there were no search parties that he came across. He thought that it was suspicious, but he moved on, determined to reach the city.

Within a few hours, Kraval managed to reach the outskirts of the metropolis. Now the question was how was he going to get out of there? Obviously these people were hostile to outsiders and most likely weren't going to teach him in the ways of the Force. Kraval peered at his datapad again and found a section that was shaped roughly like an air field. Perfect, he thought. All he would have to do is reach that field, steal a fighter, and blast off. He knew, however, that it wouldn't be that easy. If those turrets were any indication of these people's defenses, they wouldn't be lax about the airfield.

Kraval moved through the city while avoiding attracting unnecessary attention. Fortunately, he was wearing a type of clothing that was common throughout the galaxy, a simple black vest and black pants with leather boots. He weaved in between buildings, trying to stay away from any main roads. It didn't take him long to find the airfield and it took him only a second longer to find the defenses. For an airfield holding starfighters there certainly wasn't much. Four light class AV-21 speeders were moving back and forth and up in the towers were a few guards, but other than that there seemed to be nothing else. Then again, Kraval reminded himself, he didn't see the cannons in the mountains. They may have a similar setup here, he thought, but there was one thing he was sure about. They didn't have landmines setup in the field, because the four speeders were moving across it all the time. But for all he knew there were mines there and they were programmed to recognize certain vehicles and not blow them up. Oh well, Kraval thought, there was only one way to find out.

Kraval managed to get a top of the line Seinar X-T speeder from a dealership under the pretext of taking it out for a test drive. Kraval pulled the speed to a clearing about one hundred feet from the field and checked his pack. He had a modified DL-54 blaster with three spare power packs and three sonic grenades with a special magnetic grip that activated two seconds after the grenade was turned on. He closed his bag and throttled the engine to full and shot off towards the airfield. As he approached the defense lines, he hopped that he wouldn't get blasted into a million pieces.

The defenses were slow to respond to his intrusion, because Kraval made it past the gate and was halfway to one of the pads before any forces responded. As he angled to the landing area, the other speeders attempted to get to teach side of him and put Kraval in a classic "down the middle" trap where they could just fire between themselves to hit him from both sides. Kraval, being the experienced pilot that he was, recognized the maneuver and used the speeder's boosters to zip ahead of the group. When the defenders began to move close together behind him, Kraval grabbed a sonic grenade, activated it, and tossed it high up over his shoulder. One moment he was speeding along, the next there was a medium size shock wave coursing through the air. He looked back and saw only one of the four speeders was left, it was badly damaged and turning away from him. As for the rest, he only saw melted chunks of metal.

When he was within seventy feet of the doors to the pads, two turrets suddenly popped up from the ground, their barrels swiveling to target him. Kraval began another series of evasive turns, but it did him little good. The turrets were too fast in tracking him, and he knew that if he stayed on the speeder for much longer, he was a dead man. Thinking quickly, Kraval attached his bag to the speeder and activated the last two sonic grenades, putting a ten second timer on them. He slowed the speeder down while grabbing his blaster and spare clips. As the turrets continued to fire, he jumped out the side and rolled onto the ground, putting the speeder between him and the turrets. The turrets kept shooting at the speeder, they actually managed to damage it enough to come crashing down in front of them. But the turrets didn't manage to get it to crash far enough away from them. With no warning, the two grenades went off at the same time, the resulting shockwave forced Kraval flat on the ground.

As he stood back up, he noticed that the tower guards were also stunned by the blast, and he was able to shoot them with his pistol before they got to sound an alarm. He dashed for the pads, past the charred wrecks of the turrets and into the pit where an interceptor was waiting. Breathing a sigh of relief, Kraval moved to the ship. As he got within a few feet of the fighter, he thought he saw movement at the edge of his vision. He quickly turned around and brought his pistol up. His head swayed back and forth as he searched for a target, but he saw nothing. He returned his gun to its holster and turned back to the ship. Just as he did that a figure seemed to emerge from the ship's shadow. Right off the ground this man appeared. Before Kraval could even react, the man made a simple hand gesture and Kraval felt the same shadows that the man came from engulf him.

===Dinaari===

When he awoke, Kraval was lying down in a bunk. His clothes had been changed into some sort of white robe. Still wondering where he was at, the door to the room he was in opened. A figure in a black robe stood there staring at him. After a minute or so of scrutinizing him, he motioned for Kraval to follow him. As they moved down a hall made of black obsidian stone, Kraval noticed two distinct symbols on the walls. One was a blue scythe-like shape, and the other looked like a red star gone nova. The two men reached an elevator and when they stepped inside Kraval could see no buttons to press. Instead, when the doors closed, the lift began to move upwards automatically. [[Image:Claw_of_Dinaari.jpg |thumb|200px|right]]

The doors of the lift re-opened and the black robed man led the way to an extremely large door. As they approached the doors opened to reveal a large office with a desk in the center of it. A man was doing computer work when the two entered. He looked up, stopped his typing, and rose from his chair. He was a man of medium height and medium build. He didn't have bulging muscles threatening to tear apart his clothes, but he wasn't skinny by any means. His face looked like it had been carved from granite, his eyes a silver gray color. His jet black hair was flattened to his head and his ears were the pointiest Kraval had ever seen. He circled Kraval and looked him over. He asked Kraval what he was doing on their planet. He replied that he wanted to learn more about the Force. The man looked suspiciously at Kraval then continued on. He mentioned the shoot down of the shuttle and the little trap that failed to kill much less hurt anyone. The men sent to check out the downed craft had sensed the trap and had used the Force to set off the bombs. The man then talked about the stolen speeder and Kraval's assault on the airfield.

Then the man did something totally unexpected. He congratulated Kraval on making it so far. Many others were put through the same trials as he was, but most never got past the cannons in the mountains. The way Kraval used the speeder bike as a bomb carrier was a good choice given the situation he was in. The man looked at Kraval one more time and then gestured to the man in the black robes. He told him to take Kraval to the Initiation Temple on Karufr. As he left the room, Kraval smiled and noticed the similarity to this situation and one he had as a child. Once again, Kraval was being led on to start his training.

===Dark Side Training===

His training was not easy, nor was it quick. He was surprised at how much he did not know. Then again, he should have realized the truth. When he was with the Imperial Navy, they didn't allow him to focus on anything else other than becoming a superior pilot. He was taught how to expand his awareness to a short range, so that in star fighter combat he could tell what his opponent was going to do. He didn't know that he could expand that awareness even farther, to the point where he could feel other beings in other sectors.

Each and every day Kraval was stunned by what he was taught. He learned how to levitate items of all shapes and all sizes. Even though he doubted it, he had seen instructors lift boulders five times their size. When Kraval tried, he found that lifting objects wasn't that hard at all. Soon he surpassed his fellow students and was moving on to other areas of training. He watched the Krath priests use the Force to empower medallions with the dark side. He saw Obelisk troops use the Force to enhance their fighting skills.

Although he was an excellent pilot, he was by far not the best. Every other day he would get into a simulator and be shot down by one of the senior fighters. Surprisingly, this didn't anger him much. He felt that he did need improvement, especially fighting against people that had the same skills as he. For too long he had fought against inferior enemies, and with each victory he had become lax. Now it was coming back to haunt him. Fortunately, it was only in the simulators that his sloppiness was occurring. With time and training, he would become better. He was determined to be one of the best pilots in the Dark Brotherhood.

Not only did he want to become the best pilot, but he also wanted to become a hand to hand combatant. It was all well and good to be a fighter pilot, but what if in combat his craft was shot down? What would happen to him then? He would be forced to fend for himself on the ground where numerous enemies would await him. He took it upon himself to go and find a trainer, and he was lucky enough to have been placed into clan Taldryan, where some of the best ground combatants are. He was placed into Dark Fire Brigade, under the leadership of Jedi Hunter Fire-Knight. From there, he learned all he needed to know about ground battles.

His first training session had been a joke. There was a huge open area where he was told to report for training, and he walked out into the clearing not suspecting a thing. He barely got a warning through the Force before a shot rang out at him and a spot of burnt grass appeared beside his foot. He looked up and saw a man with a Tenloss sniper rifle cradled in his hands. He jumped down from his spot and walked over to Kraval wearing a smug look on his face. The man introduced himself as the commander, and told Kraval that he had made the first biggest mistake anyone could make. Never walk into a clearing without looking around first, snipers love when someone does that.

His combat training only got tougher from there. Since he was in clan Taldryan, they had a long standing tradition of using the Bryars pistol in combat. It has two modes of fire, one rapid low powered shot, while the other was a slower but more powerful charge shot. Taldryan prided itself on being the only clan to have mastered that pistol, and they demanded that even the newest members become proficient in its use. Kraval was once again ordered to report to the training grounds, but this time he decided to trap his battle team leader, instead of getting trapped.

As he approached the clearing, he crouched down into the dense foliage. He knew his leader was expecting him, so instead of going into the clearing himself, he projected an image of himself walking out into the open. His leader, assuming that Kraval hadn't learned his lesson from the first incident, stood up and began charging his pistol. Kraval, however, saw him aim at the projection and snapped off a few low powered shots at his commanders mid section. As the bolts flashed towards his leader, Kraval's projection vanished into thin air. His leader spun around just in time to take the shots in front of himself. Just when the bolts looked like they were going to strike flesh, they disappeared into a wavy green field. His leader had been smart and had activated his personal shielding unit long before the fight.

No day had ever been more tiring in Kraval's life. He truly learned his physical limits on that morning. Using the Bryars pistol wasn't an easy task. Using the charged shot caused the gun to shake a bit, forcing the user to compensate for the jumpiness of the gun. Then he learned the art of using the gun in actual combat. Kraval had to jump left and right, back and forth, side to side, and whatever way he could think of to avoid getting hit. He tried to shoot back, but every time he fired he would miss his target wide. He would aim for where his target was, and then when he shot, the target would be on the other side of the field by that time.

Kraval finally got the concept that he had to attempt to predict where his target was going and shoot at that spot, instead of where the target was at that moment. Once he got that down there was very little difference from what he was doing there compared to what he did in a fighter. He learned how to adjust shots for mid-air attacks, how to move at the last minute, and how to use the momentum of a hit that would land on his shields and force him back a small distance. As soon as he became good with that weapon, he decided to train in the other commonly used weapons.

He learned how to use a heavy repeater, how to effectively use the speed shots to lay down suppressive fire. He found out that the secondary fire on that gun shot out a concussive blast that could knock enemy troops to their feet. He learned how to shot a Golan Arms FC-1 rifle. The main blast shoots out shards of medal, while the secondary shots fire two concussion balls that can bounce off walls and was handy for hitting enemies around corners. His favorite weapon, however, was the same one used by his battle team leader during their first training session. It was the Tenloss Disruptor Rifle. A perfect little weapon, it could fire semi-powerful, semi-fast shots that could do some good damage to an enemy's shields. The best feature of the rifle though was the sniper function. It was that part of the gun that had earned Kraval a spot on the Grand Masters Royal Guard. That weapon, and Kraval's excelled use of it, got the attention of his order leader, Sith High Warrior and Dark Jedi Master Gui Long, commonly known as Bloodfyre.

MAA Policies

2007-11-28T02:36:10Z

Kraval:

# All recommendations for rewards are required to contain specific, concrete details. We are not interested in the fact that someone is great; we are interested in how they are great.
# Silent AWOL checks are prohibited for all members ranked Jedi Hunter and below. Silent AWOL checks are allowed for members ranked Dark Jedi Knight and above. Silent AWOL checks are defined as AWOL checks that lack a formal email notice.
# Families cannot exceed 10 members in size. Those currently with more than 10 members can maintain their current membership but cannot recruit new members.
# Do not use the transfer request form as a place for argument. If you have a problem with your superiors, address it to their superior. Don’t just run away without addressing the problems. Transfers are the last resort. If you are transferring due to problems within your current Clan, you are to e-mail the MAA prior to transferring.
# If you want to run a competition for a group that you are not currently in charge of or that you are not a member of, you must get prior approval from someone that is. If you wish to award a medal that you do not have access to recommend, you must get approval from someone that does. You must indicate this approval in competition requests that are submitted to the database.
# Do not tell someone they are going to be promoted or given a medal before it has been approved, as there is no guarantee it will be approved.
# Do not whine about or demand a reward. The MAA office does not look favourably upon this, nor do most leaders within the DB.
# To lessen confusion within a Clan, all medals and promotions should be known by your superiors before they are recommended. The Clan Summit should know what is happening within the houses, and the House Summit should know what is happening within the Battle Teams.
# No merit medals may be given for specific, stated tasks. You may not award merit medals for single competition participation or placement unless said competition was a large scale competition taking extended time and dedication (like a Vendetta). In those cases, confer with the MAA before announcing any awards.
# As much as it would be good to divorce the medal and promotion system, it is simply impossible to do so given the history of the Brotherhood and the logistical impossibility of differentiating between certain types of activity. Therefore, the two systems are not completely divorced. Recommendations for merit medals, followed by a quick recommendation for promotion for effectively the same activities will not be approved. If you award someone a medal, it is unlikely that they will be considered for a promotion immediately thereafter. However, in the case of larger promotions and larger medals, considerations will be made that encompass all the activities that a member undertakes. Do not try to “double-dip.” This includes small competitions – you cannot receive a Crescent and a Legion of the Scholar for trivia: only one.
# Time in rank and time in the Brotherhood factor into promotions. There are no set limits on how much time you must spend at a certain rank or in the Brotherhood but it is expected that people spend a reasonable time at each level. It is also expected that competent leaders take this into account.
# Recruiting from other Clans is strongly discouraged. Blatant attempts to get someone to join your Clan from another Clan by offering people medals, promotions or positions will be referred to the Chamber of Justice. This does not include legitimate open application periods for positions wherein someone could join another Clan by applying for and being offered a new position. Other recruiting attempts (those without bribes) are strongly discouraged. If you develop a reputation for siphoning off members, you will not be protected from harsh criticism received by your colleagues. Learn to take responsibility for your own actions.
# Transfers from Clan to Clan will be more rigorously examined. Each one will be investigated by the MAA. Be sure to have a legitimate reason and any such requests should be discussed with your Clan leaders before a transfer request is made. Rogue hopping will not be allowed.
# Do not cite precedent on anything when arguing a reward denial as recent changes to the reward system involves changing what is considered “precedent”. If you have a question about something, contact your superior or the MAA directly.
# It is strongly suggested that all Summits start keeping a close account of all activities their members engage in. This ranges from hanging out on IRC to participating in a competition to completing a massive Clan project. Record what your members do. It will make it easier for you to justify a reward when you want to reward them. It will also eventually be required that you do this.
# Do not presume that Clan institutions confer validity on your recommendations. How a Clan is ultimately run is determined by the Consul and Clan leaders, not the MAA. However, any authority that specific leaders and bodies within a Clan may have do not carry over to the rewarding of medals or promotions. Legitimate recommendations are legitimate recommendations irrespective of who submits them to me and under what fictional authority.
# The Master/Student program is not recognized by the MAA as an official one. If you are the master of a member of the Dark Brotherhood and said student has performed some set of tasks to gain rank then the request for promotion of your student must be through house or clan leadership as they are recognized as having the authority to recommend.
# Official dossier names are to contain only four parts for names. Hyphenated words will not be counted as one word but as two.

MAA Policies

2007-11-27T17:38:57Z

Kraval:

# All recommendations for rewards are required to contain specific, concrete details. We are not interested in the fact that someone is great; we are interested in how they are great.
# Silent AWOL checks are prohibited for all members ranked Jedi Hunter and below. Silent AWOL checks are allowed for members ranked Dark Jedi Knight and above. Silent AWOL checks are defined as AWOL checks that lack a formal email notice.
# Families cannot exceed 10 members in size. Those currently with more than 10 members can maintain their current membership but cannot recruit new members.
# Do not use the transfer request form as a place for argument. If you have a problem with your superiors, address it to their superior. Don’t just run away without addressing the problems. Transfers are the last resort. If you are transferring due to problems within your current Clan, you are to e-mail the MAA prior to transferring.
# If you want to run a competition for a group that you are not currently in charge of or that you are not a member of, you must get prior approval from someone that is. If you wish to award a medal that you do not have access to recommend, you must get approval from someone that does. You must indicate this approval in competition requests that are submitted to the database.
# Do not tell someone they are going to be promoted or given a medal before it has been approved, as there is no guarantee it will be approved.
# Do not whine about or demand a reward. The MAA office does not look favourably upon this, nor do most leaders within the DB.
# To lessen confusion within a Clan, all medals and promotions should be known by your superiors before they are recommended. The Clan Summit should know what is happening within the houses, and the House Summit should know what is happening within the Battle Teams.
# No merit medals may be given for specific, stated tasks. You may not award merit medals for single competition participation or placement unless said competition was a large scale competition taking extended time and dedication (like a Vendetta). In those cases, confer with the MAA before announcing any awards.
# As much as it would be good to divorce the medal and promotion system, it is simply impossible to do so given the history of the Brotherhood and the logistical impossibility of differentiating between certain types of activity. Therefore, the two systems are not completely divorced. Recommendations for merit medals, followed by a quick recommendation for promotion for effectively the same activities will not be approved. If you award someone a medal, it is unlikely that they will be considered for a promotion immediately thereafter. However, in the case of larger promotions and larger medals, considerations will be made that encompass all the activities that a member undertakes. Do not try to “double-dip.” This includes small competitions – you cannot receive a Crescent and a Legion of the Scholar for trivia: only one.
# Time in rank and time in the Brotherhood factor into promotions. There are no set limits on how much time you must spend at a certain rank or in the Brotherhood but it is expected that people spend a reasonable time at each level. It is also expected that competent leaders take this into account.
# Recruiting from other Clans is strongly discouraged. Blatant attempts to get someone to join your Clan from another Clan by offering people medals, promotions or positions will be referred to the Chamber of Justice. This does not include legitimate open application periods for positions wherein someone could join another Clan by applying for and being offered a new position. Other recruiting attempts (those without bribes) are strongly discouraged. If you develop a reputation for siphoning off members, you will not be protected from harsh criticism received by your colleagues. Learn to take responsibility for your own actions.
# Transfers from Clan to Clan will be more rigorously examined. Each one will be investigated by the MAA. Be sure to have a legitimate reason and any such requests should be discussed with your Clan leaders before a transfer request is made. Rogue hopping will not be allowed.
# Do not cite precedent on anything when arguing a reward denial as recent changes to the reward system involves changing what is considered “precedent”. If you have a question about something, contact your superior or the MAA directly.
# It is strongly suggested that all Summits start keeping a close account of all activities their members engage in. This ranges from hanging out on IRC to participating in a competition to completing a massive Clan project. Record what your members do. It will make it easier for you to justify a reward when you want to reward them. It will also eventually be required that you do this.
# Do not presume that Clan institutions confer validity on your recommendations. How a Clan is ultimately run is determined by the Consul and Clan leaders, not the MAA. However, any authority that specific leaders and bodies within a Clan may have do not carry over to the rewarding of medals or promotions. Legitimate recommendations are legitimate recommendations irrespective of who submits them to me and under what fictional authority.
# The Master/Student program is not recognized by the MAA as an official one. If you are the master of a member of the Dark Brotherhood and said student has performed some set of tasks to gain rank then the request for promotion of your student must be through house or clan leadership as they are recognized as having the authority to recommend.
# Official dossier names are to contain only three names; a first name, middle name, and last name. Hyphenated words will not be counted as one word but as two.
