'''Lambow''', the Mysterious Wookiee, is relatively new to the general Brotherhood membership. Trained by unknown mentors in the Force, he was requested to come assist the Brotherhood by one of the more prominent members they have, Arania Lawakiro Palpatine.

Exactly how they met and if she was his mentor in the ways of the Force are still unknown, as the Wookiee rarely talks about himself. In fact, his reluctance to say anything about the time before he started working with the Brotherhood earned him the Mysterious Wookiee moniker.

== Character History ==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===
Nothing is known about Lambow's early life and childhood, except for the fact that he was born on Kashyyyk. He didn't stay there long, as it is clear he had moved about the galaxy very often.

=== Young Adult Events ===
Nothing is known, other than he successfully completed his coming-of-age Hrrtayyk ceremony.

=== Initial entry with the Brotherhood ===
Lambow quietly entered the Brotherhood scene after the events of the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] during [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|30 ABY]]. His obvious advanced knowledge of the Force earned him the rank of a Krath Epis, which someone objected to. The Wookiee immediately demanded a duel, and if the Wookiee won, he'd get to keep his rank and no one could further say anything. The challenger agreed.

The Wookiee ripped of his challenger's face off in less than thirty seconds, and tore his torso into shreds within twenty more.

No one since then has challenged the Wookiee.

=== Service with Revan ===

Once his initial "trial" was passed, the Wookiee received word that a new House was in the process of coming together. This proposed House caused a commotion within the Brotherhood, as it was the first House to have been created in quite some time. Their shadowy methods of operation suited the Wookie, as he preferred to be by himself. Thus their usual methods of solitary agents carrying out the will of the House was perfectly suited to him.

Obviously the big Wookiee has been extremely tight-lipped about his assignments. Besides them, there was one event that really stood out.

Upon receiving news that an ancient Sith ship had been discovered in deep space, Revan and two other Brotherhood units rushed to claim as much salvage as they could from the ship. With orders to secure and prioritize information more than physical items, several House agents sprang into action.

They quickly got way more than they bargained for. The ship's artificial intelligence activated thousands of combat droids, and in the process of combat a mad member of Scholae Palpatinae awoke and became a willing host to an ancient Sith Lord. The resulting fight seriously wounded the Wookiee, and made him reconsider the path he was taking in his life. The constant life of possible betrayal by the Sith way of life proved to him that there could be more accomplished by rejecting that philosophy.

Although he couldn't say that he had "redeemed" himself to the Light Side of the Force, he rejected the claims of the Dark Side on him. Unsure if this means that he was a Light Sider or a Gray Jedi, he nonetheless started to look for ways to improve his own life as well as his few close friends.

=== A New Life with Odan-Urr ===

At the end of the [[Tenth Great Jedi War]] (During which the Wookiee was recovering from his wounds), a decree was handed down from the Dark Council that [[House Revan]] was too weak to continue. Its' assets were seized, and it's territory given over to Council administrators.

Now without a unit and with a new outlook on life, he knew that he couldn't join any of the usual Brotherhood Houses and Clans, despite several friends that extended invitations. However, although initially not taken seriously by him, he began to gravitate towards House [[Odan-Urr]] and their philosophies on the Force. He requested a transfer to the unit, and upon his discharge from the infirmary, made his way to his new Housemates, eager to begin his life anew once again.

The Wookiee quietly tried to fit in, many of his thoughts and emotions still in an uproar, and attempting to embrace the Light Side of the Force. He found that it was true, once you were part of the Dark Side forever would it dominate your destiny. He constantly fights with the proddings and the urges that comes from the Dark Side, fighting the seduction to go back. This internal conflict has kept him grounded and isolated from his peers in the House. However, during the events of the [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/Odan-Urr#Return_of_the_Light invasion of New Tython] in which he was given a leadership role in the assault he found during the crucible of combat that he finally had accepted himself and his past actions, and from that point on he would just have to go on doing what was right. The fight was fierce but went off without a hitch, in which his squad was critical in the capture of enemy artillery positions that were pounding the beachheads. The rest of the conflict saw him in a more of a support role, which he filled without complaint.

Partially in recognition for this action, [[Daniel Stephens|Seraphol Ceartas]] had asked Lambow to join the [[Knights of Allusis]], Odan-Urr's premiere special operations strike team. Ceartas pointed out that Lambow's obvious experience and conduct during the invasion marked him as a steady and reliable member of the House, and the team sorely needed someone of his particular skill set. Lambow uncharacteristically made a snap judgement call and accepted, feeling the prodding of the Force to do so. With his acceptance Ceartas asked for his help with a particularly tricky assignment, one that would possibly uncover a traitor within the Dark Council itself....

=== Service with The Chosen ===

With the invasion of New Tython over, Lambow thought back on how things could improve. Much of the assault done by The Chosen, which he had led, was done by troops that weren't exactly ready nor prepared for the special operations missions that they were called for to do. The unit was far more trained for the direct assault mission, but casualties were higher than he expected simply because of lack of training, especially in the room clearing business. Lambow had spoken to [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/The_Chosen#Liika Liika], the day-to-day leader of the unit, and expressed his concerns over a stepped up training regimen and a desire to expand their skill set. Liika readily agreed, and they took their plan up to the Clan council as well as the K.U.D.F. leadership.

They had expressed interest in the plan, but noted they were already taking steps to fulfill several roles they had wanted to possibly take over, but assured the Wookiees that their service was still needed and were indeed going to expand, that they just needed time to allocate the right troops to the right mission. Satisfied that the leadership knew what they were doing, they returned with a new passion to train the unit up, preparing for the next battle.

=== The Destruction of New Tython ===

Working hand in hand with the Wookiee leadership they were able to expand the Wookiee enclave, building from scratch a new society that welcomed others into their fold freely, passing on the ways of the Wookiees the best they could. Finally able to settle in and have a place to call home, they started making families, and soon a unified tribe emerged. Being inclusive to all, they allowed other races to share in their ways, with a particular soft spot for taking in refugees and others that had no place to call home. Dedicating themselves to rebuilding, to providing for others, they found a peace and a boom. All was well, and was so for a time.

Then word had come, filtered in from the shadows, that bounties were being placed for Jedi lightsabers. As all the Jedi on the planet belonged to individual Jedi and would never willingly part with them meant that said thief would have to engage and defeat the Jedi in question to take their lightsaber. That in turn was a clear threat to the Jedi, and appropriate measures were being put in place to defend. However, no one expected a full scale invasion with a scorched earth policy. By the thousands Sith and Krath invaded, leading thousands more soldiers, mercenaries, and other thugs.

Simply put, the Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force was utterly and completely overwhelmed. Instantly grasping the scale and scope of the invasion, plus taking into consideration initial word of the atrocities being committed convinced Liika to have Lambow evacuate the children of the tribe. They were the future of the tribe, their most precious treasure, and they would not die in vain.

The Chosen were attacked by a full regiment, plus attachments. The shocktroopers, plus the civilian adult members of the tribe all gave their all during the counter assault, all of them knowing they were just merely buying time with their lives to enable Lambow to get clear with the children.

After defending against a deep commando strike, he managed to get aboard one of the last remaining transports and pull out of the planet. They ran right smack into a running space battle where elements of the Clan fleet were desperately holding open a corridor for ships to escape the surface of the planet, giving them time to flee with their lives. In particular, the ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Victory_II-class_Star_Destroyer Victory''-class] Star Destroyer II [[Endor's Triumph | ''Endor’s Triumph'']] was taking a terrible beating and took enough damage to cause them to abandon ship. The assault frigate that had savaged the ship specifically targeted the escape pods, but with help from friendly fighters Lambow was able to save six crewmembers, just one pod.

With friendlies aboard the ship, they jumped. There was no set rendezvous point, just a general directive to leave the system as fast as possible. Lambow decided that the best bet would be to return back to some safe havens the now defunct House Revan had set up. Staying only long enough to replenish food and supplies, they began a series of jumps designed to ensure no one could follow them.

Lambow's special operations work while in Revan helped him out immensely. They ditched their transport, and drawing on some deeply hidden accounts he had set up ages ago Lambow purchased a new YT-2000, and finally was able to make contact with [[Daniel Stephens | Seraphol Ceartas]], one of the survivor Jedi, and set up the meet at the [[Kiast System]] for a rendezvous with surviving House assets. Once more, they jumped into the unknown concerning their new home.

== Profile ==

=== Appearance ===
Lambow looks like your average Wookiee, with no real distinguishing features. About the only thing out of the ordinary to the sharp observer is that the Wookiee has careful, economical movements. The Wookiee also is constantly looking about, and aware of everything that is going around him. The Wookiee is also usually heavily armed.

Oddly enough, the Wookiee has had a cybernetic vocator put into his throat. This allows him to speak Basic and other similar languages, although oddly accented by the vocator.

If the vocator is shorted out by an ion pulse, he can still talk, but only his native Shyriiwook.

=== Personality ===
The Wookiee really hasn't socialized with many, and few can claim him as a friend. He also doesn't attend many social functions, and if he does show, he normally is quietly nursing drinks. Any attempts to talk to him are frustrated since he tends to ignore the person speaking.

=== Hobbies, Penchants and Talents ===
The only real talent that has been exhibited by the Wookiee is a natural talent as a mechanic, which obviously had provided him before with a living.

=== Relationships ===

It's been extremely rare for the Wookiee to be seen with companionship, preferring to be alone or simply in the company of those few he called friends, but rumor had it that he may have been pursuing a certain young Lieutenant Commander [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/VSD_Endor%27s_Triumph#Lt._Cmdr._Elayne_Dolomar Dolomar], which is very unusual as when the few times they have been seen together they're usually in extremely detailed conversations about the finer points of capital ship gunnery, capital ship warfare tactics and strategy. The extremely few delicate inquiries on the matter have been met with the usual stony silence, so it may just be hearsay and/or rumors.

Other than the above, Lambow has not disclosed any previous relationships or family ties at all.

== DJB Facts ==

=== Positions Held ===
None as yet.

=== Outstanding Achievements ===
None that the Wookiee has been willing to share with anyone.

== Trivia ==
* The "Lambow" name came about through sheer chance. It was actually created by using an online Random Star Wars name generator. The name sounded amusing, so it was chosen.
* The "Mysterious Wookiee" business is mainly because this is a new character. There had to be some explanation as to where this Wookiee came from as a full-blown [[Epis]], so it was best left as a mystery to be fleshed out as the character is used more often in official DJB business.

The ''''Endor's Triumph'''' is a [[starwars:Victory_II-class_Star_Destroyer|Victory II-class Star Destroyer]] in the service of [[Odan-Urr|Clan Odan-Urr]].

==Vessel Info==

==History==
In [[35 ABY]] the Brotherhood left devastation on [[New Tython]]. Thousands died, and Tythonian development and relations were shattered. A long, grueling time of rebuilding and repair followed. Seeing that the [[Odan-Urr|House]] could not defend itself or the people of [[New Tython]] with just star fighters, the [[Odan-Urr|Council of Urr]] decided on a "long shot" decision. Lacking resources to buy or develop a new starship on their own, they ordered one be scavenged from junk parts. Commissioning several smaller tech companies and a small flotilla of transports, they set course for the ship graveyard on the edge of the galaxy.

Far from prying eyes, they toiled for endless hours, scavenging parts from ships long deemed unusable. Funds were sent in as time passed and even some newer parts were manufactured and shipped to the improvised shipyard. A year and many setbacks later the building had begun in earnest. Much of the superstructure was found intact, though it had to be cut, refurbished and retrofitted. While an [[starwars:Imperial_I-class_Star_Destroyer|Imperial Star Destroyer]] was considered, a much smaller vessel was chosen due to budget constraints and an abundance of materials. Much of the material had long ago been scavenged by junkers but several [[starwars:Victory_I-class_Star_Destroyer|Victory I]] and [[starwars:Victory_II-class_Star_Destroyer|Victory II-class Star Destroyers]] survived - some in several pieces - and were used for the ''Triumph's'' base.

After the fall of [[New Tython]] the funding was cut and so the project was dropped for more profitable endeavors, that is until the [[Odan-Urr|House]] returned triumphant to [[New Tython]] in [[37 ABY]]. With the [[NSD Fey'lya's Last Stand|''Last Stand'']] in operation, the need for a massive capital ship was lessened, however the Council decided to finish the project. War loomed on the horizon and another vessel would be a logical step forward. Thus funding was sent and the project continued.

In [[38 ABY]], not long before the Rite of Immortality destroyed [[Antei]], the ''Endor's Triumph'' found it's place above New Tython, it's new home.

===Characteristics===
It is speculated, due to their condition at the time of construction, that the ships scavenged to make the ''Endor's Triumph'' had seen service in all major wars since the end of the Clone Wars. Much of her old armament has been destroyed, scavenged, scrapped and sold over the years. In 38 ABY, when she began her service in the [[Kotahitanga-Unity_Defense_Force|K.U.D.F.]], all of her armaments had been replaced with modern variants, and her shields and much of the superstructure had been refurbished or retrofitted from other ships.

Some of her extensive modifications and retrofits include turbolasers made by Taim & Bak and MerrWeapons, a modernized computer system by MicroThrust Processors, modified hangars designed for storing Incom vessels such as X-Wings and Z-95 Headhunters along with Imperial TIE fighters. She does, however still have her old engines and hyperdrive, making her less maneuverable than modern-day starships. This directly relates to the fact that she is primarily used for planetary defense and as a staging point for patrols in [[Yhi System|Yhi system]].

Much of the interior was refurbished and modernized according to Republic designs. The bridge has been upgraded with modern computer systems while the crew and officer quarters were merged to give space to leisure suites across the ship. Among these the most famous are the ''"Jagged Junker"'' bar in the officer's area; the meditation room, where Jedi and Padawans spend most of their time; the Zero-G room, where Jedi Consulars conduct experiments on plants in Zero-G, and where the crew can experience Zero-G in a controlled environment; and the botanical garden, featuring many of New Tython's flora for the crew to enjoy. Many of the ships corridors were lined with flora as well, giving it a much less militaristic feel. There are, however, upkeep issues with these areas as the extra humidity attracts moss and spreads the flora along the walls. Some in the [[Kotahitanga-Unity_Defense_Force|K.U.D.F.]] have come to call the ship ''"The Green Goblin"'' due to it's rather unique interior.

[[File:Choi-Manawek.jpg|140px|left|thumb|Cpt. Choi Manawek]]
*'''Species:''' [[starwars:Pantoran|Pantoran]]
*'''Role:''' Commanding Officer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Captain|Captain]]
*'''Motto:''' "We guard the stars."
*Biography
Born into a military family Choi’s grandfather, Karol, was a General in the Pantoran Home Defence Force while his father Vitor was the captain of an Acclamator-class assault ship called the Intrepid during the Clone Wars before becoming am Admiral in the Pantoran Home Defence Fleet. As such it was expected, from an early age, that Choi would follow the family tradition of military service so when at the age of ten he was enrolled in the prestigious Nahoi Military School where seven generations of Manawek’s had studied before him.

During his time there the young Choi flourished, the discipline and structure agreeing with him. With visions of saving the galaxy from the bridge of a great starship the young Pantoran threw himself whole-heartedly into his training eventually graduating with honours as the top cadet in his class. During his time at school the galaxy had changed and, for anyone not born human, the prospects in the military were few and far between. Chaffing at the restrictions placed on non-humans by the Empire, and against his father’s wishes, Choi joined the Rebel Alliance. Initially made the executive officer aboard an aging dreadnaught, the Trident, under a Bith Captain named Cerun Cardo. The two got along well, Cardo’s adherence to discipline matching Choi’s own and soon the Trident was one of the best run ships in the Rebels 6th Fleet. For a year Choi enjoyed his post until he was awarded with a promotion to Captain and given command of the Huntress, a Nebulon-B frigate assigned as escort for the Mon-Cal Cruiser Rogue Wave. Over the next few years Choi and the crew of the Huntress participated in numerous battles with the forces of the Imperial Navy, most notably the Battle of Endor and the Liberation of Coruscant. With the war won and the Empire defeated Choi decided a quieter life was what he needed so he retired from the newly formed New Republic navy and returned home to Pantora.

Taking a teaching position at the military academy he attended Choi found great joy in teaching the next generation the finer points of warfare, for a while at least. After years of war the quiet life of a teacher just didn’t agree with Choi and while contemplating coming out of retirement he was contacted by an old friend about an opportunity to get back into the fight on a relatively obscure planet on the Outer Rim, a planet called New Tython.

*Personality
A strict disciplinarian, Choi maintains and enforces a strict code of conduct for all members of his command staff which often brings him into conflict with the commander of his fighter compliment Bal Eris. He is also an adherent of established military doctrine and tactics and while some consider this his greatest strength many see it as his greatest weakness. His inability to think outside the box makes any engagement with a force that does not fight the way Choi expects one that could potentially end in disaster.

*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Commander|Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "A battleship is the best ambassador."
*Biography
Born on Lorrd a few years after the end of the Clone Wars Leilani had a fairly normal childhood. She went to school, she played with her friends, she dated boys but all the while felt she was meant for something more. As the Empire became increasingly tyrannical Leilani’s parents began to speak out against them protesting for equal rights for all citizens regardless of their species. Shortly after her seventeenth birthday at a protest against Imperial tyranny her father, along with a crowd of both humans and non-humans, were gunned down by Imperial Stormtroopers.

When news reached Lorrd of the emerging Rebel Alliance Leilani, with her mother’s blessing, volunteered and was placed into the pilot training program. Her skills progressed slowly at first but as time went on she became more confident behind the stick and soon was snapping at the heels of the best pilots in her training squadron. Things changed however when a training accident forced her out of the cockpit and onto the bridge of a starship. Initially assigned to a corvette as a weapons officer she worked hard until she was eventually promoted to the executive officer on a Nebulon-B frigate called the Huntress under the command of a Pantoran captain by the name of Choi Manawek.

Over the next few years the Huntress engaged the Imperial Navy in various historic engagements until, after the Liberation of Coruscant, Choi retired after recommending Leilani be given command of the Huntress. Leilani, now a captain, stayed in the newly christened New Republic navy as they continued to battle what was left of the Empire’s forces. Day to day life slowly became more and more mundane as the Empire’s remaining forces were taken care of but that all changed in 25 ABY when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. The Huntress was assigned as an escort for refugee ships and, despite several close calls, managed to see out the war without losing a single crewmember.

With the end of the Yuuzhan Vong war Leilani retired from the New Republic navy and made her way to the Outer Rim for some peace and quiet. Eventually settling on the world of New Tython she purchased a parcel of land on the outskirts of the capital Menat Ombo, put her feet up and rested for the first time in years. The peace didn’t last long however as representatives of the K.U.D.F, learning of her past service, approached her about a command position aboard a starship they were currently rebuilding. After much thought and deliberation she accepted the offer and was made XO of the newly christened VSD Endor’s Triumph.

*Personality
As a Lorrdian Leilani is well versed in kinetic communication, a sophisticated gestural language "spoken" by the Lorrdians, that dates back to the Kanz Disorders, when the Lorrdians were enslaved by the Argazdans. Forbidden to speak to one another by their masters, the Lorrdians were forced to communicate with each other using subtle gestures, facial expressions, and body postures, which allowed them to coordinate guerrilla strikes on their overlords.

This ability to read the facial expressions and body language of various species makes her especially suited to the role of executive officer as she can discern the mood of not only those under her command but any enemy she may encounter. Many in the crew of the Endor’s Triumph consider her day to Choi Manaweks night as, while he is a strict disciplinarian, Leilani uses her ability to counsel the crew through any troubles they may be having.

[[File:Elayne-Dolomar.jpg|140px|left|thumb|Lt.Cmdr. Elayne Dolomar]]
*'''Species:''' Tythonian human
*'''Role:''' Weapons Officer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Lieutenant_Commander|Lieutenant Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "One torpedo volley is worth a lot of negotiation."
*Biography
Born among the Forest Trekkers of the Melewati Bushman Elayne could shoot the tail off a womp rat at 300 meters before she was ten years old. Trained by her father to hunt and shoot she was just eighteen years old when Cy Thuron overthrew the government and named himself king. Too isolated to be evacuated Elayne and her people engaged the forces of the New Dawn and the mercenaries under there command, employing guerrilla tactics and the terrain to slow the advance of the invading forces.

By the time the war was over and the Jedi of Odan-Urr had prevailed Elayne had lost her father, mother, older brother and her innocence. With nothing to keep her among the Forest Trekkers she travelled to Menat Ombo to enlist in the Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force. Initially slated to join the ground forces Elayne put in a request to be transferred to the navy, hoping to leave the bad memories of the war behind her. Placed in gunnery school she excelled, transferring her skills with a rifle to the big guns of a star destroyer until, after years of hard work, she was assigned to the VSD Endor’s Triumph as the weapon’s officer.

*Personality
Prior to the war Elayne was a happy, cheerful young girl but years of constant guerrilla warfare and the loss of her entire family changed her. She is now much more hesitant to get close to people, often keeping them at arm’s length and never really getting to know them claiming that if she doesn’t really know them it won’t hurt as much when they inevitably die.

Recently, however, several officers and crew aboard ship have noticed an increase with discussions with Clan member [[Lambow]], and when overheard is usually regarding extremely detailed conversations about the finer points of capital ship gunnery, capital ship warfare tactics and strategy. The extremely few delicate inquiries on the matter with the Wookiee and the human have been met with the stony and very uncomfortable silence, so it may just be hearsay, rumors and/or well-meaning intentions that have romantically linked them together.

*'''Motto:''' "It is always better to find your enemy, before your enemy finds you."
*Biography
Born on Coruscant Bail is the illegitimate son of an Arkanian diplomat and a human waitress who worked in a small café in the diplomatic district. Growing up Bail never wanted for anything, his father ensuring he and his mother lived in comfort despite never publicly acknowledging Bail as his son. Growing up Bail was fascinated with space travel so when he was old enough Bail’s father pulled some strings and got him admitted to into one of the more prestigious flight schools on Coruscant. Bail eventually graduated near the top of his class excelling in astronavigation and, with some assistance from his father, landed a job aboard the TGS Ronto, a GR-75 medium transport belonging to Transit Galactic Shipping as a navigator. Life was good and he enjoyed his work but things changed when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Bail’s ship, along with thousands of other transports just like it, was given over to the New Republic in an effort to relocate as many refugees out of harm’s way as possible and despite several close calls the Ronto made it through the war intact.

Once the war was won the Ronto returned to her duties hauling cargo across the galaxy. Ironically it was during peacetime that Bail and the crew of the Ronto nearly perished. Hauling cargo to a small planet in the Outer Rim they were ambushed by pirates who disabled the ship with ion cannons before boarding. As the pirates made their way through the ship killing crew members as they went Bail ran for an escape pod hoping to save himself. As the pod shot away from the ailing transport a fighter belonging to the pirates made a lazy turn, coming straight for him. Just as the pirate lined the escape pod up and Bail said a silent prayer to whatever higher power was listening his ship exploded into a dazzling fireball.

Looking out the small port hole in the side of the pod Bail could see the arrowhead shape of a star destroyer firing on the Ronto as a number of fighters engaged the pirate ships. After a quick fire fight all the pirates were either dead or disabled and Bail could feel the tug of a tractor beam on his escape pod. Expecting to be confronted by members of the New Republic navy Bail was surprised to see armed men wearing uniforms with an unknown insignia who took him to a small holding cell in the ships brig. After a few hours of questioning Bail was finally allowed to leave his cell and get something to eat in the ships mess. It was there that he learned the ship and its crew were members of a private militia under the leadership of a group of Jedi on a planet called New Tython. When the ship arrived back at port Bail approached the powers that be and, after giving them a rundown of his experience, offered his services to the K.U.D.F. who accepted and placed him aboard the newly commissioned VSD Endor’s Triumph as navigations officer.

*Personality
Considered arrogant by most people Bail is supremely confident in his abilities, a trait passed on to him by his Arkanian father. He also has a heightened sense of self preservation and often wonders to himself why he ever volunteered to serve on a warship.

*'''Species:''' Tythonian Human
*'''Role:''' Chief Engineer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Lieutenant_Commander|Lieutenant Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "Fix the ''Triumph''? Are you nuts?!"
*Biography
Born on the continent of Milil'ea on the planet of New Tython Cuzao’s father owned a small farm on the outskirts of a Mon Calamari town called New Hikahi. When he was just seven years old both his parents died from an unknown disease that left the young boy an orphan. After a week in quarantine to ensure he wasn’t sick or contagious Cuzao was placed into foster care with a Mon Calamari family in New Hikahi. His foster father Enan was a mechanic who taught the young human everything he knew about fixing everything from starships to droids to weapons and, despite being the only human in a town full of Mon Calamari, the young boy grew up into a reasonably happy young man.

When the New Dawn led by Cy Thuron overthrew the government Cuzao took his cues from his foster father and did his best to stay neutral hoping to simply live his life as quietly as possible. That plan seemed to be working for a while at least until the day the war reached New Hikahi. As the forces of the Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force and the Jedi of Odan-Urr clashed with the New Dawn fighters and there mercenary forces starfighters flashed through the sky above New Hikahi. With a deafening crack and a blinding explosion a New Dawn fighter was shot down by a K.U.D.F. fighter, the wreckage falling to the earth crushing several houses.

When the battle ended Enan approached his foster son telling him that he was wrong, they shouldn’t have stayed neutral, and implored him to volunteer for service in the K.U.D.F. Bowing to his father’s wishes he volunteered the next day and after a few months of training he was assigned to the Endor’s Triumph as an engineer where his abilities helped him rise through the ranks to the position of chief engineer.

*Personality
Something of a pessimist Cuzao is a glass half empty kind of guy, often expecting the worst when anything goes wrong with the Endor’s Triumph. Despite this he is immensely proud of the ship which he affectionately calls his “old lady”.

*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Wing_Commander|Wing Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "The reinforcements were greatly appreciated... erm, have you got any more?"
*Biography: Bal-Eris was born on Iridonia. He was also fascinated with flight at a young age and was always abnormally tall for his age. He used his heights and some fake papers to enter the Iridonian Military flight school where his natural aptitude for flight put him at the top of his class. Two years later his deception was discovered and he was dishonorably discharged from the school. The discharged didn't phase him as much as not being able to fly so he searched for an answer to that problem. He found it in a group of pirates who needed a pilot to move goods for him.

After a few years of transporting stolen goods the law finally caught up with him. He was abandoned by his pirate crew on a run to new Tython when things went south and was incarcerated when Thuron attacked. A sympathetic guard released all of them and Bal-Eris found himself on a pilotless transport. When no pilot had shown he took the helm and through some fierce anti-air bombardment was able to escape the planet. A K.U.D.F commander was aboard and was impressed with his skills as a pilot and upon arrival to the fleet he was conscripted into service. He easily rose through the ranks due to his natural ability and his devotion to flying.

*Personality: Due to his time with pirates Bal-Eris has issues with authority. He often fraternizes with enlisted and junior officers. He doesn't adhere to military protocol unless absolutely needed. Many of his superiors find this to be a double edged sword. His ability to improvise is an asset but his attitude and remarks tend to draw stares.

'''Lambow''', the Mysterious Wookiee, is relatively new to the general Brotherhood membership. Trained by unknown mentors in the Force, he was requested to come assist the Brotherhood by one of the more prominent members they have, Arania Lawakiro Palpatine.

Exactly how they met and if she was his mentor in the ways of the Force are still unknown, as the Wookiee rarely talks about himself. In fact, his reluctance to say anything about the time before he started working with the Brotherhood earned him the Mysterious Wookiee moniker.

== Character History ==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===
Nothing is known about Lambow's early life and childhood, except for the fact that he was born on Kashyyyk. He didn't stay there long, as it is clear he had moved about the galaxy very often.

=== Young Adult Events ===
Nothing is known, other than he successfully completed his coming-of-age Hrrtayyk ceremony.

=== Initial entry with the Brotherhood ===
Lambow quietly entered the Brotherhood scene after the events of the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] during [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|30 ABY]]. His obvious advanced knowledge of the Force earned him the rank of a Krath Epis, which someone objected to. The Wookiee immediately demanded a duel, and if the Wookiee won, he'd get to keep his rank and no one could further say anything. The challenger agreed.

The Wookiee ripped of his challenger's face off in less than thirty seconds, and tore his torso into shreds within twenty more.

No one since then has challenged the Wookiee.

=== Service with Revan ===

Once his initial "trial" was passed, the Wookiee received word that a new House was in the process of coming together. This proposed House caused a commotion within the Brotherhood, as it was the first House to have been created in quite some time. Their shadowy methods of operation suited the Wookie, as he preferred to be by himself. Thus their usual methods of solitary agents carrying out the will of the House was perfectly suited to him.

Obviously the big Wookiee has been extremely tight-lipped about his assignments. Besides them, there was one event that really stood out.

Upon receiving news that an ancient Sith ship had been discovered in deep space, Revan and two other Brotherhood units rushed to claim as much salvage as they could from the ship. With orders to secure and prioritize information more than physical items, several House agents sprang into action.

They quickly got way more than they bargained for. The ship's artificial intelligence activated thousands of combat droids, and in the process of combat a mad member of Scholae Palpatinae awoke and became a willing host to an ancient Sith Lord. The resulting fight seriously wounded the Wookiee, and made him reconsider the path he was taking in his life. The constant life of possible betrayal by the Sith way of life proved to him that there could be more accomplished by rejecting that philosophy.

Although he couldn't say that he had "redeemed" himself to the Light Side of the Force, he rejected the claims of the Dark Side on him. Unsure if this means that he was a Light Sider or a Gray Jedi, he nonetheless started to look for ways to improve his own life as well as his few close friends.

=== A New Life with Odan-Urr ===

At the end of the [[Tenth Great Jedi War]] (During which the Wookiee was recovering from his wounds), a decree was handed down from the Dark Council that [[House Revan]] was too weak to continue. Its' assets were seized, and it's territory given over to Council administrators.

Now without a unit and with a new outlook on life, he knew that he couldn't join any of the usual Brotherhood Houses and Clans, despite several friends that extended invitations. However, although initially not taken seriously by him, he began to gravitate towards House [[Odan-Urr]] and their philosophies on the Force. He requested a transfer to the unit, and upon his discharge from the infirmary, made his way to his new Housemates, eager to begin his life anew once again.

The Wookiee quietly tried to fit in, many of his thoughts and emotions still in an uproar, and attempting to embrace the Light Side of the Force. He found that it was true, once you were part of the Dark Side forever would it dominate your destiny. He constantly fights with the proddings and the urges that comes from the Dark Side, fighting the seduction to go back. This internal conflict has kept him grounded and isolated from his peers in the House. However, during the events of the [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/Odan-Urr#Return_of_the_Light invasion of New Tython] in which he was given a leadership role in the assault he found during the crucible of combat that he finally had accepted himself and his past actions, and from that point on he would just have to go on doing what was right. The fight was fierce but went off without a hitch, in which his squad was critical in the capture of enemy artillery positions that were pounding the beachheads. The rest of the conflict saw him in a more of a support role, which he filled without complaint.

Partially in recognition for this action, [[Daniel Stephens|Seraphol Ceartas]] had asked Lambow to join the [[Knights of Allusis]], Odan-Urr's premiere special operations strike team. Ceartas pointed out that Lambow's obvious experience and conduct during the invasion marked him as a steady and reliable member of the House, and the team sorely needed someone of his particular skill set. Lambow uncharacteristically made a snap judgement call and accepted, feeling the prodding of the Force to do so. With his acceptance Ceartas asked for his help with a particularly tricky assignment, one that would possibly uncover a traitor within the Dark Council itself....

=== Service with The Chosen ===

With the invasion of New Tython over, Lambow thought back on how things could improve. Much of the assault done by The Chosen, which he had led, was done by troops that weren't exactly ready nor prepared for the special operations missions that they were called for to do. The unit was far more trained for the direct assault mission, but casualties were higher than he expected simply because of lack of training, especially in the room clearing business. Lambow had spoken to [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/The_Chosen#Liika Liika], the day-to-day leader of the unit, and expressed his concerns over a stepped up training regimen and a desire to expand their skill set. Liika readily agreed, and they took their plan up to the Clan council as well as the K.U.D.F. leadership.

They had expressed interest in the plan, but noted they were already taking steps to fulfill several roles they had wanted to possibly take over, but assured the Wookiees that their service was still needed and were indeed going to expand, that they just needed time to allocate the right troops to the right mission. Satisfied that the leadership knew what they were doing, they returned with a new passion to train the unit up, preparing for the next battle.

== Profile ==

=== Appearance ===
Lambow looks like your average Wookiee, with no real distinguishing features. About the only thing out of the ordinary to the sharp observer is that the Wookiee has careful, economical movements. The Wookiee also is constantly looking about, and aware of everything that is going around him. The Wookiee is also usually heavily armed.

Oddly enough, the Wookiee has had a cybernetic vocator put into his throat. This allows him to speak Basic and other similar languages, although oddly accented by the vocator.

If the vocator is shorted out by an ion pulse, he can still talk, but only his native Shyriiwook.

=== Personality ===
The Wookiee really hasn't socialized with many, and few can claim him as a friend. He also doesn't attend many social functions, and if he does show, he normally is quietly nursing drinks. Any attempts to talk to him are frustrated since he tends to ignore the person speaking.

=== Hobbies, Penchants and Talents ===
The only real talent that has been exhibited by the Wookiee is a natural talent as a mechanic, which obviously had provided him before with a living.

=== Relationships ===

It's been extremely rare for the Wookiee to be seen with companionship, preferring to be alone or simply in the company of those few he called friends, but rumor had it that he may have been pursuing a certain young Lieutenant Commander [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/VSD_Endor%27s_Triumph#Lt._Cmdr._Elayne_Dolomar Dolomar], which is very unusual as when the few times they have been seen together they're usually in extremely detailed conversations about the finer points of capital ship gunnery, capital ship warfare tactics and strategy. The extremely few delicate inquiries on the matter have been met with the usual stony silence, so it may just be hearsay and/or rumors.

Other than the above, Lambow has not disclosed any previous relationships or family ties at all.

== DJB Facts ==

=== Positions Held ===
None as yet.

=== Outstanding Achievements ===
None that the Wookiee has been willing to share with anyone.

== Trivia ==
* The "Lambow" name came about through sheer chance. It was actually created by using an online Random Star Wars name generator. The name sounded amusing, so it was chosen.
* The "Mysterious Wookiee" business is mainly because this is a new character. There had to be some explanation as to where this Wookiee came from as a full-blown [[Epis]], so it was best left as a mystery to be fleshed out as the character is used more often in official DJB business.

The ''''Endor's Triumph'''' is a [[starwars:Victory_II-class_Star_Destroyer|Victory II-class Star Destroyer]] in the service of [[Odan-Urr|Clan Odan-Urr]].

==Vessel Info==

==History==
In [[35 ABY]] the Brotherhood left devastation on [[New Tython]]. Thousands died, and Tythonian development and relations were shattered. A long, grueling time of rebuilding and repair followed. Seeing that the [[Odan-Urr|House]] could not defend itself or the people of [[New Tython]] with just star fighters, the [[Odan-Urr|Council of Urr]] decided on a "long shot" decision. Lacking resources to buy or develop a new starship on their own, they ordered one be scavenged from junk parts. Commissioning several smaller tech companies and a small flotilla of transports, they set course for the ship graveyard on the edge of the galaxy.

Far from prying eyes, they toiled for endless hours, scavenging parts from ships long deemed unusable. Funds were sent in as time passed and even some newer parts were manufactured and shipped to the improvised shipyard. A year and many setbacks later the building had begun in earnest. Much of the superstructure was found intact, though it had to be cut, refurbished and retrofitted. While an [[starwars:Imperial_I-class_Star_Destroyer|Imperial Star Destroyer]] was considered, a much smaller vessel was chosen due to budget constraints and an abundance of materials. Much of the material had long ago been scavenged by junkers but several [[starwars:Victory_I-class_Star_Destroyer|Victory I]] and [[starwars:Victory_II-class_Star_Destroyer|Victory II-class Star Destroyers]] survived - some in several pieces - and were used for the ''Triumph's'' base.

After the fall of [[New Tython]] the funding was cut and so the project was dropped for more profitable endeavors, that is until the [[Odan-Urr|House]] returned triumphant to [[New Tython]] in [[37 ABY]]. With the [[NSD Fey'lya's Last Stand|''Last Stand'']] in operation, the need for a massive capital ship was lessened, however the Council decided to finish the project. War loomed on the horizon and another vessel would be a logical step forward. Thus funding was sent and the project continued.

In [[38 ABY]], not long before the Rite of Immortality destroyed [[Antei]], the ''Endor's Triumph'' found it's place above New Tython, it's new home.

===Characteristics===
It is speculated, due to their condition at the time of construction, that the ships scavenged to make the ''Endor's Triumph'' had seen service in all major wars since the end of the Clone Wars. Much of her old armament has been destroyed, scavenged, scrapped and sold over the years. In 38 ABY, when she began her service in the [[Kotahitanga-Unity_Defense_Force|K.U.D.F.]], all of her armaments had been replaced with modern variants, and her shields and much of the superstructure had been refurbished or retrofitted from other ships.

Some of her extensive modifications and retrofits include turbolasers made by Taim & Bak and MerrWeapons, a modernized computer system by MicroThrust Processors, modified hangars designed for storing Incom vessels such as X-Wings and Z-95 Headhunters along with Imperial TIE fighters. She does, however still have her old engines and hyperdrive, making her less maneuverable than modern-day starships. This directly relates to the fact that she is primarily used for planetary defense and as a staging point for patrols in [[Yhi System|Yhi system]].

Much of the interior was refurbished and modernized according to Republic designs. The bridge has been upgraded with modern computer systems while the crew and officer quarters were merged to give space to leisure suites across the ship. Among these the most famous are the ''"Jagged Junker"'' bar in the officer's area; the meditation room, where Jedi and Padawans spend most of their time; the Zero-G room, where Jedi Consulars conduct experiments on plants in Zero-G, and where the crew can experience Zero-G in a controlled environment; and the botanical garden, featuring many of New Tython's flora for the crew to enjoy. Many of the ships corridors were lined with flora as well, giving it a much less militaristic feel. There are, however, upkeep issues with these areas as the extra humidity attracts moss and spreads the flora along the walls. Some in the [[Kotahitanga-Unity_Defense_Force|K.U.D.F.]] have come to call the ship ''"The Green Goblin"'' due to it's rather unique interior.

*'''Species:''' [[starwars:Pantoran|Pantoran]]
*'''Role:''' Commanding Officer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Captain|Captain]]
*'''Motto:''' "We guard the stars."
*Biography
Born into a military family Choi’s grandfather, Karol, was a General in the Pantoran Home Defence Force while his father Vitor was the captain of an Acclamator-class assault ship called the Intrepid during the Clone Wars before becoming am Admiral in the Pantoran Home Defence Fleet. As such it was expected, from an early age, that Choi would follow the family tradition of military service so when at the age of ten he was enrolled in the prestigious Nahoi Military School where seven generations of Manawek’s had studied before him.

During his time there the young Choi flourished, the discipline and structure agreeing with him. With visions of saving the galaxy from the bridge of a great starship the young Pantoran threw himself whole-heartedly into his training eventually graduating with honours as the top cadet in his class. During his time at school the galaxy had changed and, for anyone not born human, the prospects in the military were few and far between. Chaffing at the restrictions placed on non-humans by the Empire, and against his father’s wishes, Choi joined the Rebel Alliance. Initially made the executive officer aboard an aging dreadnaught, the Trident, under a Bith Captain named Cerun Cardo. The two got along well, Cardo’s adherence to discipline matching Choi’s own and soon the Trident was one of the best run ships in the Rebels 6th Fleet. For a year Choi enjoyed his post until he was awarded with a promotion to Captain and given command of the Huntress, a Nebulon-B frigate assigned as escort for the Mon-Cal Cruiser Rogue Wave. Over the next few years Choi and the crew of the Huntress participated in numerous battles with the forces of the Imperial Navy, most notably the Battle of Endor and the Liberation of Coruscant. With the war won and the Empire defeated Choi decided a quieter life was what he needed so he retired from the newly formed New Republic navy and returned home to Pantora.

Taking a teaching position at the military academy he attended Choi found great joy in teaching the next generation the finer points of warfare, for a while at least. After years of war the quiet life of a teacher just didn’t agree with Choi and while contemplating coming out of retirement he was contacted by an old friend about an opportunity to get back into the fight on a relatively obscure planet on the Outer Rim, a planet called New Tython.

*Personality
A strict disciplinarian, Choi maintains and enforces a strict code of conduct for all members of his command staff which often brings him into conflict with the commander of his fighter compliment Bal Eris. He is also an adherent of established military doctrine and tactics and while some consider this his greatest strength many see it as his greatest weakness. His inability to think outside the box makes any engagement with a force that does not fight the way Choi expects one that could potentially end in disaster.

*'''Role:''' Executive Officer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Commander|Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "A battleship is the best ambassador."
*Biography
Born on Lorrd a few years after the end of the Clone Wars Leilani had a fairly normal childhood. She went to school, she played with her friends, she dated boys but all the while felt she was meant for something more. As the Empire became increasingly tyrannical Leilani’s parents began to speak out against them protesting for equal rights for all citizens regardless of their species. Shortly after her seventeenth birthday at a protest against Imperial tyranny her father, along with a crowd of both humans and non-humans, were gunned down by Imperial Stormtroopers.

When news reached Lorrd of the emerging Rebel Alliance Leilani, with her mother’s blessing, volunteered and was placed into the pilot training program. Her skills progressed slowly at first but as time went on she became more confident behind the stick and soon was snapping at the heels of the best pilots in her training squadron. Things changed however when a training accident forced her out of the cockpit and onto the bridge of a starship. Initially assigned to a corvette as a weapons officer she worked hard until she was eventually promoted to the executive officer on a Nebulon-B frigate called the Huntress under the command of a Pantoran captain by the name of Choi Manawek.

Over the next few years the Huntress engaged the Imperial Navy in various historic engagements until, after the Liberation of Coruscant, Choi retired after recommending Leilani be given command of the Huntress. Leilani, now a captain, stayed in the newly christened New Republic navy as they continued to battle what was left of the Empire’s forces. Day to day life slowly became more and more mundane as the Empire’s remaining forces were taken care of but that all changed in 25 ABY when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. The Huntress was assigned as an escort for refugee ships and, despite several close calls, managed to see out the war without losing a single crewmember.

With the end of the Yuuzhan Vong war Leilani retired from the New Republic navy and made her way to the Outer Rim for some peace and quiet. Eventually settling on the world of New Tython she purchased a parcel of land on the outskirts of the capital Menat Ombo, put her feet up and rested for the first time in years. The peace didn’t last long however as representatives of the K.U.D.F, learning of her past service, approached her about a command position aboard a starship they were currently rebuilding. After much thought and deliberation she accepted the offer and was made XO of the newly christened VSD Endor’s Triumph.

*Personality
As a Lorrdian Leilani is well versed in kinetic communication, a sophisticated gestural language "spoken" by the Lorrdians, that dates back to the Kanz Disorders, when the Lorrdians were enslaved by the Argazdans. Forbidden to speak to one another by their masters, the Lorrdians were forced to communicate with each other using subtle gestures, facial expressions, and body postures, which allowed them to coordinate guerrilla strikes on their overlords.

This ability to read the facial expressions and body language of various species makes her especially suited to the role of executive officer as she can discern the mood of not only those under her command but any enemy she may encounter. Many in the crew of the Endor’s Triumph consider her day to Choi Manaweks night as, while he is a strict disciplinarian, Leilani uses her ability to counsel the crew through any troubles they may be having.

*'''Role:''' Weapons Officer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Lieutenant_Commander|Lieutenant Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "One torpedo volley is worth a lot of negotiation."
*Biography
Born among the Forest Trekkers of the Melewati Bushman Elayne could shoot the tail off a womp rat at 300 meters before she was ten years old. Trained by her father to hunt and shoot she was just eighteen years old when Cy Thuron overthrew the government and named himself king. Too isolated to be evacuated Elayne and her people engaged the forces of the New Dawn and the mercenaries under there command, employing guerrilla tactics and the terrain to slow the advance of the invading forces.

By the time the war was over and the Jedi of Odan-Urr had prevailed Elayne had lost her father, mother, older brother and her innocence. With nothing to keep her among the Forest Trekkers she travelled to Menat Ombo to enlist in the Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force. Initially slated to join the ground forces Elayne put in a request to be transferred to the navy, hoping to leave the bad memories of the war behind her. Placed in gunnery school she excelled, transferring her skills with a rifle to the big guns of a star destroyer until, after years of hard work, she was assigned to the VSD Endor’s Triumph as the weapon’s officer.

*Personality
Prior to the war Elayne was a happy, cheerful young girl but years of constant guerrilla warfare and the loss of her entire family changed her. She is now much more hesitant to get close to people, often keeping them at arm’s length and never really getting to know them claiming that if she doesn’t really know them it won’t hurt as much when they inevitably die.

*'''Role:''' Navigations officer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Lieutenant_Commander|Lieutenant Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "It is always better to find your enemy, before your enemy finds you."
*Biography
Born on Coruscant Bail is the illegitimate son of an Arkanian diplomat and a human waitress who worked in a small café in the diplomatic district. Growing up Bail never wanted for anything, his father ensuring he and his mother lived in comfort despite never publicly acknowledging Bail as his son. Growing up Bail was fascinated with space travel so when he was old enough Bail’s father pulled some strings and got him admitted to into one of the more prestigious flight schools on Coruscant. Bail eventually graduated near the top of his class excelling in astronavigation and, with some assistance from his father, landed a job aboard the TGS Ronto, a GR-75 medium transport belonging to Transit Galactic Shipping as a navigator. Life was good and he enjoyed his work but things changed when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Bail’s ship, along with thousands of other transports just like it, was given over to the New Republic in an effort to relocate as many refugees out of harm’s way as possible and despite several close calls the Ronto made it through the war intact.

Once the war was won the Ronto returned to her duties hauling cargo across the galaxy. Ironically it was during peacetime that Bail and the crew of the Ronto nearly perished. Hauling cargo to a small planet in the Outer Rim they were ambushed by pirates who disabled the ship with ion cannons before boarding. As the pirates made their way through the ship killing crew members as they went Bail ran for an escape pod hoping to save himself. As the pod shot away from the ailing transport a fighter belonging to the pirates made a lazy turn, coming straight for him. Just as the pirate lined the escape pod up and Bail said a silent prayer to whatever higher power was listening his ship exploded into a dazzling fireball.

Looking out the small port hole in the side of the pod Bail could see the arrowhead shape of a star destroyer firing on the Ronto as a number of fighters engaged the pirate ships. After a quick fire fight all the pirates were either dead or disabled and Bail could feel the tug of a tractor beam on his escape pod. Expecting to be confronted by members of the New Republic navy Bail was surprised to see armed men wearing uniforms with an unknown insignia who took him to a small holding cell in the ships brig. After a few hours of questioning Bail was finally allowed to leave his cell and get something to eat in the ships mess. It was there that he learned the ship and its crew were members of a private militia under the leadership of a group of Jedi on a planet called New Tython. When the ship arrived back at port Bail approached the powers that be and, after giving them a rundown of his experience, offered his services to the K.U.D.F. who accepted and placed him aboard the newly commissioned VSD Endor’s Triumph as navigations officer.

*Personality
Considered arrogant by most people Bail is supremely confident in his abilities, a trait passed on to him by his Arkanian father. He also has a heightened sense of self preservation and often wonders to himself why he ever volunteered to serve on a warship.

*'''Role:''' Chief Engineer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Lieutenant_Commander|Lieutenant Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "Fix the ''Triumph''? Are you nuts?!"
*Biography
Born on the continent of Milil'ea on the planet of New Tython Cuzao’s father owned a small farm on the outskirts of a Mon Calamari town called New Hikahi. When he was just seven years old both his parents died from an unknown disease that left the young boy an orphan. After a week in quarantine to ensure he wasn’t sick or contagious Cuzao was placed into foster care with a Mon Calamari family in New Hikahi. His foster father Enan was a mechanic who taught the young human everything he knew about fixing everything from starships to droids to weapons and, despite being the only human in a town full of Mon Calamari, the young boy grew up into a reasonably happy young man.

When the New Dawn led by Cy Thuron overthrew the government Cuzao took his cues from his foster father and did his best to stay neutral hoping to simply live his life as quietly as possible. That plan seemed to be working for a while at least until the day the war reached New Hikahi. As the forces of the Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force and the Jedi of Odan-Urr clashed with the New Dawn fighters and there mercenary forces starfighters flashed through the sky above New Hikahi. With a deafening crack and a blinding explosion a New Dawn fighter was shot down by a K.U.D.F. fighter, the wreckage falling to the earth crushing several houses.

When the battle ended Enan approached his foster son telling him that he was wrong, they shouldn’t have stayed neutral, and implored him to volunteer for service in the K.U.D.F. Bowing to his father’s wishes he volunteered the next day and after a few months of training he was assigned to the Endor’s Triumph as an engineer where his abilities helped him rise through the ranks to the position of chief engineer.

*Personality
Something of a pessimist Cuzao is a glass half empty kind of guy, often expecting the worst when anything goes wrong with the Endor’s Triumph. Despite this he is immensely proud of the ship which he affectionately calls his “old lady”.

*'''Role:''' Wing commander of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Wing_Commander|Wing Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "The reinforcements were greatly appreciated... erm, have you got any more?"
*Biography: Bal-Eris was born on Iridonia. He was also fascinated with flight at a young age and was always abnormally tall for his age. He used his heights and some fake papers to enter the Iridonian Military flight school where his natural aptitude for flight put him at the top of his class. Two years later his deception was discovered and he was dishonorably discharged from the school. The discharged didn't phase him as much as not being able to fly so he searched for an answer to that problem. He found it in a group of pirates who needed a pilot to move goods for him.

After a few years of transporting stolen goods the law finally caught up with him. He was abandoned by his pirate crew on a run to new Tython when things went south and was incarcerated when Thuron attacked. A sympathetic guard released all of them and Bal-Eris found himself on a pilotless transport. When no pilot had shown he took the helm and through some fierce anti-air bombardment was able to escape the planet. A K.U.D.F commander was aboard and was impressed with his skills as a pilot and upon arrival to the fleet he was conscripted into service. He easily rose through the ranks due to his natural ability and his devotion to flying.

*Personality: Due to his time with pirates Bal-Eris has issues with authority. He often fraternizes with enlisted and junior officers. He doesn't adhere to military protocol unless absolutely needed. Many of his superiors find this to be a double edged sword. His ability to improvise is an asset but his attitude and remarks tend to draw stares.

'''The Chosen''' are a unit of heavy infantry Wookiee Berserkers. They are part of the [[1st AAC "Kota's Fist"]], a branch of the [[Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force]] in [[House Odan-Urr]].

== History ==
=== Origins ===
[[File:Chosen-group.jpg|250px|thumb|right|In the trenches]]
The Chosen started out as a group of [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] slaves taken prisoner many decades ago by Imperial forces as slave labor for the original Death Star. An Imperial officer found a way to "depreciate" the expense of the slave labor force and sold them off to the highest bidder. For this group, it was a bidding war between various Hutt cartels and some [[starwars:Trandoshan|Trandoshan]] slavers, but one of the cartels won out.

This particular group of Trandoshans were particularly miffed, being as their purchasing agent was permanently silenced by the cartel to prevent a counter-bid to come in, so they decided to raid the transport convoy that carried the slaves and take them by force.

Quite unexpectedly, Odan-Urr starfighter forces were in the midst of coming back from an uneventful, but successful, recon run of the [[Judecca]] system, home of (then) House [[Scholae Palatinae]], one of the House's most hated of enemies. The starfighters had dropped out of hyperspace to fine tune their hyperspace jumps when they blundered into the running battle.

The Wookiee prisoners had managed to take advantage of the confusion and hijacked the transport ship, but it was heavily damaged and was being hotly pursued by both cartel and Trandoshan forces, each battling each other in the process. The Wookiees, noting the arrival of the X-Wings, openly broadcast their situation, but were cut short by electronic countermeasures by cartel forces. There was no thought of it by the starfighter forces. They locked [[starwars:S-foils|S-foils]] into attack position, and engaged. Within a few minutes, it was all over. The Odan-Urr squadron commander offered sanctuary on [[New Tython]], which they gratefully accepted.

Arriving in-system, the squadron leader advised the House leadership of the situation, and they immediately agreed to provide aid, and if they choose to see fit, work as well, offering to pay fair wages and good housing. It was all too much for the newly freed Wookiees, and they all individually and as a group pledged a life debt to Odan-Urr. Their leader, Liika, stepped forward and advised the leadership that they had combat skills acquired during their service in the Clone Wars, as well as the subsequent war for liberation against the Empire.

The House leadership instantly grasped the possibilities and noted their possible positive additions to their combat arms, immediately agreed, on the condition that they rest and train up first to standards, then get to know the planet. They would be well provided for as well, and given their choice of quarters. Their positive treatment since have lead to the Wookiees naming themselves "The Chosen of Bacca", referencing their good fortune as being favored by their great historical figure. Considering that the word 'bacca' can mean "ally" or "friend" in [[starwars:Shyriiwook|Shyriiwook]], it is particularly apt regarding their new friends in the House. The name is usually shortened to "The Chosen" under all but the most official and important occasions. However, most soldiers in the K.U.D.F. call them '''Zerkers'''.

== Culture ==

Still reeling from their time as slaves, The Chosen were reluctant to trust others other than their small group and the direct House members of Odan-Urr. Slowly but surely, they have been acclimating themselves to the planet and the Tribes, and their skill with technology and crafting have come in handy to generate surplus income for themselves when not assigned tasks by the House.

The Chosen aggressively patrol the area in and around the system, and are particularly aggressive against pirates, Imperials, and slavers. They often capture such beings and bring them in for justice, taking pride in righting wrongs. They've occasionally run into slaves, which they immediately free and, on behalf of the House, offer them similar offers that they had received, gratefully accepted by many.

In other respects, they function as a Wookiee tribe, if small by Wookiee standards. Recently they're taking steps to increase their numbers by marrying amongst each other and giving birth to the next generation of The Chosen.

== Organization ==

The Chosen are organized into squads of four, in turn assigned to platoons of four squads, of which are assigned to a company of three platoons for a total of 48 shock troopers per company. All three companies, plus their commanding officer and deputy, are organized into a heavy shock infantry battalion.

=== Liika ===
[[File:Liika.jpg|120px|left|thumb|Warchief Liika]]
*'''Species:''' Wookiee
*'''Role:''' Warchief of ''The Chosen''
*'''Equipment:''' Wookiee [[starwars:Bowcaster|Bowcaster]], [[starwars:Ryyk blade|Ryyk blade]]
*'''Motto:''' "For the honor"
*'''Biography:'''

The Chosen's leader by consensus is Liika, the oldest Wookiee warrior amongst their group. His vast experience has been key in getting the less-experienced warriors up to speed. Using ancient Wookiee warrior traditions, he has brought the company to respect the ancient traditions and also become proficient in modern weaponry and tactics.

Liika's age is unknown, although it was clear that he was already a seasoned warrior by the time the [[starwars:Confederacy_of_Independent_Systems|Confederacy of Independent Systems]] attempted to annex [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]]. He does not go into detail concerning his previous experiences to non-Wookiees, however, he has proven to be an exceptional leader and commander, with a good tactical mind, willing and able to adapt to the flow of battle.

He has black fur, already showing gray strands of hair. In battle he wears his combat harness with all of his weapons attached.
He carries himself with pride, especially in front of his enemy. He has led his tribe for years and doesn't show interest in backing down. He has been scarred many times and he wears his wounds as a veteran warrior should.

=== Insignia ===
The Chosen never had an official tribe insignia by which others could identify them, and they never needed one. However after the attack on Menat Ombo, when Cy Thuron took power, the Wookiees of Liika's tribe fought for the Harakoans, saving many of them and leading them to the spaceport for evacuation.

On Haven, when the K.U.D.F. was reorganized before the inevitable battle to liberate New Tython, the Harakoans saved by Liika and his Wookies made and gave them a ceremonial Tiki statuette. Depicting a demonic being from Harakoan folklore, very similar to the fierce Wookie warriors, the figurehead became the official Chosen insignia.

Children of Palpatine

2015-06-29T19:08:14Z

Lambow: /* Timbal */

To earn the [[Title#Clan_Titles|Clan title]] of Palpatine is to receive a badge of honor that is paramount within the walls of [[Scholae Palatinae]]. As guardians of the Palpatine line, protectors of his Dark Side knowledge and advocates to the execution of his will - those whom bear the Dark Lord's name do so after establishing themselves as prominent and loyal members of the Royal Clan, the Royal Family.

The '''Children of Palpatine''', current and former, are detailed here.

One of the longest consistently active leaders of Scholae Palatinae, Xen'Mordin has demonstrated unwavering loyalty to Brotherhood and Clan. For four years, both he and Archangel, were regarded as unofficial Sons of Palpatine. Following Scholae Palatinae's reclanning in 38 ABY, it was quickly made official. Xen'Mordin led Scholae Palatinae, as a house, for four years, before seeing it reclanned, and serving as the first Consul of the new era.

Saitou was one of the first to be named Son of Palpatine, along with Cooch. He served Scholae Palatinae for a great deal of time in various positions, providing influence far beyond what most have done. His own ways, while more subtle and less direct as compared to the reign of Cooch, he has proven that his loyalty to Scholae Palatinae was second to none, and that he values it far above all other Clans of the Brotherhood. Furthermore, his own efforts at all levels of the Clan has provided much of its collective identity, and Scholae Palatinae is proud to name him the Son of Palpatine.

{{Main|[[Impetus M'Nar]]}}

Impetus' rise through the ranks of Scholae Palatinae was initially rapid, becoming Quaestor of Caliburnus within a year, reorganising the house after a merge with Dorimad Sol and leading it to tie with Acclivis Draco in in a [[Contention|house feud]]. Later, Impetus would become more widely known as Priestess of Lore, upholding the clan's traditions, and later, then as the mother of the special forces, developing an expertise in subterfuge and black ops. She was believed to be killed by a freak heat storm in the Brightlands of Ryloth.

=== Timbal ===
{{Main|[[Timbal]]}}

Timbal was one of the most dedicated and traditional members of Scholae Palatinae. The enthusiasm and zeal he had, both as a member and as a Clan leader, made him one of the most important and influential members of Scholae Palatinae. Timbal always used his skills to the benefit of the Clan. He was probably best known for his integration of Clan lore and history, as well as the establishment of the history of the Clan fleet. During the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]], Timbal was captured and turned away from the Dark Side, accepting the Light and turned into a weapon against the Clan. [[Thran Occasus]] beheaded him as a traitor with consent from the Clan Council.

{{Main|[[Lucien Kaeth Palpatine]]}}

Lucien was one of those members who took a while to find his home. When he finally arrived, he was welcomed with open arms. A year or so after joining CSP, he was made Knight Commander, and was responsible for the start of the Journeymen competitions. After Phoenix's elevation to Consul, Lucien was elevated to ProConsul and later Consul, where he worked on, amongst other things, the Royal Gazette, the CSP newsletter and doing extensive work on the military. He was known for being inspirational and dilligent. Lucien eventually left the clan to pursue his own goals.

{{HTML}}
=== War ===
==== Second Darkness ====
At length, the Clans and their fleets were summoned to [[Antei]] by [[Grand Master]] [[Sarin]] in order to test them in light of the worrying rumors of an extra-galactic invasion. Under the codename Operation [[Second Darkness]], Sarin persuaded the clans that the object of the exercise was to judge which Clan was most fit to guard the [[The Shroud|Shroud]]. Scholae Palatinae fought hard, earning a well deserved second, a great improvement on their previous Vendetta placing. Believing themselves able to relax, the Clans congregated on the Dark Council’s VSD [[Vae Victus]] for the award ceremony. The Royal Clan had barely left the ship before a titanic fleet entered the Antei system, a fleet commanded by the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]].

On board the [[VSD Excidium]], [[Braecen Kaeth]] ordered the Arconan [[M/STRKC Eye of the Abyss|Eye of the Abyss]] crippled to prevent the enemy from pursuing his fleet, regardless of the wider impact such an action would have. In desperation, the Clans were ordered into the Shroud, famous for it’s negative effect on navigation. Drunk and terrified for his wife, the Quaestor [[Thran Occasus]] of House Caliburnus was locked away until [[Rasilvenaira Kaeth StormRaven|Rasilvenaira]], could soothe him. At a hastily called meeting, [[Impetus]] and Adam Anderson were named Dark Paladins before Natth a’Niel and Ood revealed a critical finding: The small void that the Vong Fighters created to shield themselves from enemy hits could be overcome by three perfectly timed blasts.

Once again, Braecen decided to utilise the Arconan fleet to his Clan’s advantage, deciding to keep their fleet as a buffer between Scholae Palatinae and the Yuuzhan Vong. Beyond this, the Deputy Grand Master, [[Muz Ashen]] had been captured and was at that very moment being tortured in the Embrace of Pain, having valiantly covered the Clan withdrawal. The battered fleet limped back to the [[Cocytus System]] to find it ravaged by the Yuuzhan Vong. To make matters worse, a blood-thirsty [[Timbal]] had pursued the Clan Fleet, destroyed [[VAC Emperor's Sword|Emperor’s Sword]] and was running on a destructive rampage around the system. The Royal Clan was saved from further destruction by the direct order of the Grand Master, commanding that all forces cease fire. Sarin initiated the [[Braata Option]], necessitating the evacuation and abandonment of [[Antei]].

==== Reclamation of Judecca ====
With the Braata option in play, the Royal Clan turned its attention back to its own ravaged system. Braecen gave orders for the Dark Jedi to reclaim their system, only to be usurped by [[Phoenix d'Tana Palpatine|Phoenix]] who believed that the Consul had lost his grip on sanity. Taking Lucien as his Proconsul, Phoenix led the armies down to [[Judecca]] whilst Braecen led the fleet on a mad game of hide-and-seek with the Vong. A team of Dark Jedi were sent to the Meditation Shrine on Judecca with orders to retrieve three of their own held captive there. They were successful and the Vong in that area were exterminated.

Lucien then initiated Operation Dragon’s Claw, sending House Acclivis Draco to re-take the Valley of Silence on [[Antenora]], House Caliburnus to retake the Alberigo Outpost, and House Dorimad Sol to destroy a Vongforming station on [[Caina]]. All three were successful but before they could lick their wounds, Phoenix received a garbled communication from Braecen that changed the nature of the war. Only knowing that it had something to do with Vong Shapers, he gave orders to each Quaestor to capture a Shaper.

[[RevengeX Palpatine|RevengeX]] was ordered to retake the Temple of the Rakata which was believed to contain a group of shapers. [[Rasilvenaira Kaeth StormRaven|Rasilvenaira]] was sent to cleanse the Blood Forest on [[Ptolomea]] and capture a Shaper there. Koskian and Dorimad Sol, caught in the midst of the Vong-infested Caina had the pick of many Shapers but caught one from the group he was engaged in fighting. During the Shaper operation, a team of Dark Jedi cleared the Judeccan moon Brutus which the Vong had taken as their jump point to [[Judecca]].

[[File:Excidium2.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Nebula-Class Star Destroyer]]

Each Quaestor came to the Consul with a Shaper in tow and after five strenuous hours of torture, the first one broke. It revealed that the Vong army had planned to close as many trade routes to other Brotherhood planets as possible, believing that the Clan was tied up at Antei. As the battles ended, a sizable fleet jumped out of hyperspace, led by Braecen at the helm of a [[starwars:Nebula-class_Star_Destroyer|Nebula-class Star Destroyer]]. The former Consul then left the system, heading to Clan Plagueis to take the role of Consul there as Phoenix took was promoted from Proconsul to Consul.

==== Uneasy Alliances ====
In the Jusadih system, reports began to emerge of sightings of [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] on the borders of Clan [[Plagueis]] space territory. The new Consul of Plagueis, Braecen Kaeth sent word to the Consul of Scholae Palatinae, [[Phoenix d'Tana Palpatine]] asking him for assistance.

Phoenix agreed and assembled the Clan’s ships. Upon the arrival of the fleet to the Jusadih system, they sensed a void in the nearby Nimban system. They suspected that the Yuuzhan Vong had somehow managed to learn about their fleet, but it later turned out to be the expeditionary task force of Clan [[Arcona]], led by its Consul, [[Mejas Doto]] who had combined the power of the Arconan Elders to cloak the fleet and it’s Force presence.

[[File:Carc-logo.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Clan Arcona's Insignia]]

The Arconans had a spy in the Scholae Palatinae army and learned that their fleet was leaving the Cocytus System, so they came to the system in order to strike its fleet down and take over their territory as a new home, instead of the one they lost due to Yuuzhan Vong attack.

[[Soulfire Strike Team|Soulfire Brigade]] infiltrated [[NSD Excidium II|Excidium II]] in order to sabotage it, but thanks to a hasty discussion with Angelo Dante, Mejas realised his elite were in shackles. He had no choice but to propose an alliance with Scholae Palatinae to wipe the Vong out.

However, it was only a mask to conceal his true plans. [[Soulfire Strike Team|Soulfire Brigade]] was still aboard the CSP flagship, waiting for the proper moment to intervene. The battle with the Yuuzhan Vong fleet lasted for several hours and the joint forces of the Clans were victorious. It was at that moment, when Soulfire Brigade took over a turbolaser array and fired upon Plagueis warships.

The battle was almost poised to resume again, when the armada of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], which had been called by the treacherous summit of Clan [[Arcona]], arrived to settle the escalating conflict. Today, members of the Royal Clan all wonder what the result of the battle would have been between Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Plagueis, had it been allowed to begin.

==== Rise of a Rebellion ====
It came to pass that soon after the alliance between [[Plagueis]] and Scholae Palatinae, [[Phoenix d'Tana Palpatine]]retired, leaving the position of Consul to [[Lucien Kaeth Palpatine|Lucien]]. Lucien took as his Proconsul the silver-tongued [[Thran Occasus]], which many considered dangerous given how much he coveted the throne. Lucien held the throne for a year, ushering in a brief period of stability. This was brought to an end swiftly by the rise of a rebellion, a cliqued class war waged by disillusioned workers hitting out at the “bourgeoisie”. Bombings took place along with kidnappings and assassinations, all targeted against the Imperial administration. Lucien abdicated, many believe due to Thran’s influence which earned him the title of “the Usurper”. However, all thoughts of the rebellion were struck from the Clan’s mind when a communiqué from the Grand Master arrived…

==== Unification ====
Nearly three years after the Fall of [[Antei]] the clans of the [[Dark Brotherhood]] were called upon once again by [[starwars:Darth|Darth]] [[Sarin]]. He along with the Dark Council had decided to move all the fleets of the Brotherhood through the shroud using the combined power of all the elders. Scholae Palatinae left Radama Void to answer to Sarin’s call to take back [[Antei]]. The fleet was guided by the elders for two days, and though tricky, Scholae Palatinae’s fleet managed to get through the Shroud only to come across a new puzzling fact; that the Yuuzhan Vong fleet was completely disabled. During this time, Fleet Admiral [[Timbal]] was publicly dismissed by Thran, with [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae|Surface Marshal Archangel]] taking command of the [[Warspite]] in his place.

[[File:ISD_II.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Warspite]]

Scholae Palatinae’s forces touched down just seconds before [[Omancor Crask|Crask]]’s forces attacked. A relentless battle ensued at what the Brotherhood called, “Operation Nek” which the clan needed to win to secure the beachhead. Once the beachhead was secure the clan pushed the Jedi forces back until they reached “Objective Revir” which was an anti-aircraft fortification. Once the clan managed to wipe out the remaining Jedi forces within the fortress they found themselves surrounded by Jedi reinforcements. Cut off from the rest of the Brotherhood and extra supplies the clan dug into the fortress to prepare for the coming battle.

During “Operation Granite Dusk,” as it came to be known, hundreds of Jedi and Dark Jedi were slaughtered, but Scholae Palatinae eventually managed to defeat the Jedi forces and push them back, so they could be reinforced by their fellow clan [[Naga Sadow]]. Scholae Palatinae was ordered to work with [[Naga Sadow]] to complete “Objective Strill” which proved difficult for many of the darksiders from both clans, due to past feuds between the [[Naga Sadow]] and CSP. While they battled many Jedi forces it was reported that more than a few of the Dark Jedi from both clans had turned on each other whenever they got the chance and slaughtered one another.

Though hard, the clans managed to complete the objective, and gathered theintelligence that the Brotherhood needed to make a final push to end the war. Scholae Palatinae was ordered to take back “Objective Uller”, the [[Obelisk]] “Black Pyramid” called Temple Boyna. A fierce battle took place with Crask’s remaining forces inside the temple putting up a good fight. Outnumbered and out gunned, Crask's forces fell. Scholae Palatinae took back the temple, and the war came to an end shortly after with the death of [[Omancor Crask]]. Now all that was left was to rebuild what had been lost.

==== Interim ====
The absence of the majority of the Dark Jedi had had wide implications on [[Judecca]]. The rebellion had grown far bolder, even advertising themselves to the Judeccan public. Rumors spread of financing by a rival Clan, providing better weapons for the insurgents. The rebellion turned its attention to [[Ptolomea]], home to House Caliburnus which at that time was the weakest of the three Houses. A concentrated assault left the House devastated, and Thran gave orders for its immediate closure to save it. The Clan’s Homeland Security was given unlimited scope to do whatever it took to bring the rebellion down. At a great cost of lives, the ringleaders were eventually brought before the [[Consul]] for a personal execution.

After years of constant combat, the Dark Jedi and the troopers of the Imperial Armed Forces were beginning to falter. High casualty rates, defections to other clans, and the retirements of many leaders or long term members had taken their toll on the combat effectiveness of the Clan. It was in this down time that a [[Rite of Supremacy]] was called to decide who would have the honor of ridding [[Salas V]] of an infestation of [[starwars:Killik|Killiks]].

After a crushing defeat at the hands of [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], Scholae Palatinae managed to hold their own in combat in a free-for-all situation against both Tarentum and Plagueis. Even as the clan finally was able to make progress towards the end of the Rite, Scholae Palatinae finished as the sixth of seven clans only besting Clan Plagueis. The forces of Scholae Palatinae returned to the Cocytus system, dejected and dishonored but looking towards reclaiming their place among the top clans.

In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#33 ABY|late 33 ABY]], the [[Master at Arms]], on the orders of the Grand Master initiated a purge, wiping out those suspected of treason. The results astounded everyone; more than four hundred people disappeared from Brotherhood space. The Clans were decimated and by mutual agreement, [[Muz Ashen]] downsized every Clan to an Independent House, the former Houses to [[Battleteam|Battleteams]]. Scholae Palatinae had had no choice but to comply. Thran abdicated, leaving the throne for his Proconsul. The old Neti [[Ood Bnar Sythe'rae]] became the first Quaestor of House Scholae Palatinae in decades.

== The Battleteams of Clan Scholae Palatinae ==
[[File:Dragon-shield.gif|thumb|100px|left|The Emblem of Acclivis Draco]]

=== Battleteam Acclivis Draco ===
{{Main|[[Acclivis Draco]]}}

Few more hallowed halls of Krath supremacy can be found than in the home of Acclivis Draco, at [[Dragon's Citadel]]. This monument to their control over [[Antenora]] serves as a reminder of their power, their fortitude, and their understanding of the Dark Arts. Many dangerous Krath have walked those halls, and many more will walk them in the future.

Now, reduced to a simple Battleteam, the Krath of Acclivis Draco must leave their tomes, and fight, for their honour and themselves.

* Tetarch: [[Koryn Thraagus]]

[[File:Caliburnuslogo1.gif|thumb|100px|left|The Shield of Caliburnus]]

=== Battleteam Caliburnus ===
{{Main|[[Caliburnus]]}}

Caliburnus, once a thriving and powerful Sith House, had fallen from favour with the Clan Summit, after failing to quell a rebellion which led to widespread devestation and death on the planet of [[Ptolomea]]. The Clan Summit, enraged at this sheer lack of dedication, dissolved the House immediately, throwing it's members to the four winds.

But now, after the reformation of the Clans into Houses, Caliburnus has risen again, a phoenix from the ashes, to take it's rightful place as First Battleteam of Scholae Palatinae.

* Tetrarch: [[Evant Taelyan]]



== Sons and Daughters of Palpatine ==
{{Main|[[Children of Palpatine]]}}

To earn the Clan title of Palpatine is to receive a badge of honor that is paramount within the walls of Scholae Palatinae. As guardians of the Palpatine line, protectors of his Dark Side knowledge and advocates to the execution of his will - those whom bear the Dark Lord's name do so after establishing themselves as prominent and loyal members of the Royal House, the Royal Family.

== Consuls and Proconsuls ==
=== Servants of the Clan ===
Throughout the duration of Clan Scholae Palatinae's existence, great individuals have stepped forward to lead the Clan: through desperate situations, times of reformation or eras of war within the Brotherhood. While enough can never be said for their sacrifices, no legacy that personifies their dedication - they are all held responsible for the Clan as it is today. The Consuls and Proconsuls have been replaced by Quaestors and Aediles after the reduction of Clans into Houses in 33 ABY, and then changed back in 38 ABY when Grandmaster Pravus was elected and made a decree that any Independent Houses were returned to Clan status.

== Traditions ==
=== The Animals ===
HSP is generally known amongst the Brotherhood as the "Animal House," either derisively or in acknowledgment of our affinity towards animals. Traditionally the House has had quite a stable of animals amongst them, and function as pets, guards, and in some cases important additions to the House’s rosters, even in an unofficial manner.

From surveillance, to sabotage, to out-right raw combat power, our animals come in extremely handy. Everyone who rises within the House eventually comes to terms with this and embraces this fully, further continuing this strongest of House traditions.

=== Drinking Traditions ===
There is one drinking tradition that has almost become sacrosanct amongst the House. This is usually done when a person has received either a promotion or a high-ranking medal. The ceremony is performed without the prior knowledge or consent of the newly awarded person. This involves a member of long-time standing toasting the newly awarded person, then immediately saying, "All drinks on [insert name of newly awarded person here]!" Then all present toss their alcoholic drinks on the newly awarded person, then the member that called "All Drinks" lights the doused newly awarded person on fire. This is usually a source of great merriment to all except the newly awarded person, but the fire is quickly put out, and if there is any damage all the Jedi present join together to heal the person.

== Clan Force Powers ==
The Clan Force Powers are based on the three Holocrons given to the Clan by previous leaders of the Dark Brotherhood.

* [[Holocron of Vengeance]] - This Holocron conveyed the power to summon Imperial Sentinels, monstrous guardians who could protect a powerful enough summoner.
* [[Holocron of Detonation]] - This Holocron conveyed the power to rupture cells, rip skin, or even tear limbs from unwilling bodies. In the hands of the most powerful of the House's Dark Jedi, this is a truly devastating and horrifying weapon.
* [[Holocron of Nature]] - This Holocron conveyed the power to alter the growth of seeds, to command plants and trees at a whim, or cause a sudden 'explosion' of growth or withering around the user.

== The Tomes of War ==
Below is the recounting of the previous wars fought under the Clan or House banner. Examine these victories or defeats well, and learn from them, so we might better ourselves in future.

}}

'''Lambow''', the Mysterious Wookiee, is relatively new to the general Brotherhood membership. Trained by unknown mentors in the Force, he was requested to come assist the Brotherhood by one of the more prominent members they have, Arania Lawakiro Palpatine.

Exactly how they met and if she was his mentor in the ways of the Force are still unknown, as the Wookiee rarely talks about himself. In fact, his reluctance to say anything about the time before he started working with the Brotherhood earned him the Mysterious Wookiee moniker.

== Character History ==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===
Nothing is known about Lambow's early life and childhood, except for the fact that he was born on Kashyyyk. He didn't stay there long, as it is clear he had moved about the galaxy very often.

=== Young Adult Events ===
Nothing is known, other than he successfully completed his coming-of-age Hrrtayyk ceremony.

=== Initial entry with the Brotherhood ===
Lambow quietly entered the Brotherhood scene after the events of the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] during [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|30 ABY]]. His obvious advanced knowledge of the Force earned him the rank of a Krath Epis, which someone objected to. The Wookiee immediately demanded a duel, and if the Wookiee won, he'd get to keep his rank and no one could further say anything. The challenger agreed.

The Wookiee ripped of his challenger's face off in less than thirty seconds, and tore his torso into shreds within twenty more.

No one since then has challenged the Wookiee.

=== Service with Revan ===

Once his initial "trial" was passed, the Wookiee received word that a new House was in the process of coming together. This proposed House caused a commotion within the Brotherhood, as it was the first House to have been created in quite some time. Their shadowy methods of operation suited the Wookie, as he preferred to be by himself. Thus their usual methods of solitary agents carrying out the will of the House was perfectly suited to him.

Obviously the big Wookiee has been extremely tight-lipped about his assignments. Besides them, there was one event that really stood out.

Upon receiving news that an ancient Sith ship had been discovered in deep space, Revan and two other Brotherhood units rushed to claim as much salvage as they could from the ship. With orders to secure and prioritize information more than physical items, several House agents sprang into action.

They quickly got way more than they bargained for. The ship's artificial intelligence activated thousands of combat droids, and in the process of combat a mad member of Scholae Palpatinae awoke and became a willing host to an ancient Sith Lord. The resulting fight seriously wounded the Wookiee, and made him reconsider the path he was taking in his life. The constant life of possible betrayal by the Sith way of life proved to him that there could be more accomplished by rejecting that philosophy.

Although he couldn't say that he had "redeemed" himself to the Light Side of the Force, he rejected the claims of the Dark Side on him. Unsure if this means that he was a Light Sider or a Gray Jedi, he nonetheless started to look for ways to improve his own life as well as his few close friends.

=== A New Life with Odan-Urr ===

At the end of the [[Tenth Great Jedi War]] (During which the Wookiee was recovering from his wounds), a decree was handed down from the Dark Council that [[House Revan]] was too weak to continue. Its' assets were seized, and it's territory given over to Council administrators.

Now without a unit and with a new outlook on life, he knew that he couldn't join any of the usual Brotherhood Houses and Clans, despite several friends that extended invitations. However, although initially not taken seriously by him, he began to gravitate towards House [[Odan-Urr]] and their philosophies on the Force. He requested a transfer to the unit, and upon his discharge from the infirmary, made his way to his new Housemates, eager to begin his life anew once again.

The Wookiee quietly tried to fit in, many of his thoughts and emotions still in an uproar, and attempting to embrace the Light Side of the Force. He found that it was true, once you were part of the Dark Side forever would it dominate your destiny. He constantly fights with the proddings and the urges that comes from the Dark Side, fighting the seduction to go back. This internal conflict has kept him grounded and isolated from his peers in the House. However, during the events of the [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/Odan-Urr#Return_of_the_Light invasion of New Tython] in which he was given a leadership role in the assault he found during the crucible of combat that he finally had accepted himself and his past actions, and from that point on he would just have to go on doing what was right. The fight was fierce but went off without a hitch, in which his squad was critical in the capture of enemy artillery positions that were pounding the beachheads. The rest of the conflict saw him in a more of a support role, which he filled without complaint.

Partially in recognition for this action, [[Daniel Stephens|Seraphol Ceartas]] had asked Lambow to join the [[Knights of Allusis]], Odan-Urr's premiere special operations strike team. Ceartas pointed out that Lambow's obvious experience and conduct during the invasion marked him as a steady and reliable member of the House, and the team sorely needed someone of his particular skill set. Lambow uncharacteristically made a snap judgement call and accepted, feeling the prodding of the Force to do so. With his acceptance Ceartas asked for his help with a particularly tricky assignment, one that would possibly uncover a traitor within the Dark Council itself....

== Profile ==

=== Appearance ===
Lambow looks like your average Wookiee, with no real distinguishing features. About the only thing out of the ordinary to the sharp observer is that the Wookiee has careful, economical movements. The Wookiee also is constantly looking about, and aware of everything that is going around him. The Wookiee is also usually heavily armed.

Oddly enough, the Wookiee has had a cybernetic vocator put into his throat. This allows him to speak Basic and other similar languages, although oddly accented by the vocator.

If the vocator is shorted out by an ion pulse, he can still talk, but only his native Shyriiwook.

=== Personality ===
The Wookiee really hasn't socialized with many, and few can claim him as a friend. He also doesn't attend many social functions, and if he does show, he normally is quietly nursing drinks. Any attempts to talk to him are frustrated since he tends to ignore the person speaking.

=== Hobbies, Penchants and Talents ===
The only real talent that has been exhibited by the Wookiee is a natural talent as a mechanic, which obviously had provided him before with a living.

== DJB Facts ==

=== Positions Held ===
None as yet.

=== Outstanding Achievements ===
None that the Wookiee has been willing to share with anyone.

== Trivia ==
* The "Lambow" name came about through sheer chance. It was actually created by using an online Random Star Wars name generator. The name sounded amusing, so it was chosen.
* The "Mysterious Wookiee" business is mainly because this is a new character. There had to be some explanation as to where this Wookiee came from as a full-blown [[Epis]], so it was best left as a mystery to be fleshed out as the character is used more often in official DJB business.

Their shadowy methods of operation suited the Wookie, as he preferred to be by himself. Thus their usual methods of solitary agents carrying out the will of the House was perfectly suited to him.

Obviously the big Wookiee has been extremely tight-lipped about his assignments. Besides them, there was one event that really stood out.

Upon receiving news that an ancient Sith ship had been discovered in deep space, Revan and two other Brotherhood units rushed to claim as much salvage as they could from the ship. With orders to secure and prioritize information more than physical items, several House agents sprang into action.

They quickly got way more than they bargained for. The ship's artificial intelligence activated thousands of combat droids, and in the process of combat a mad member of Scholae Palpatinae awoke and became a willing host to an ancient Sith Lord. The resulting fight seriously wounded the Wookiee, and made him reconsider the path he was taking in his life. The constant life of possible betrayal by the Sith way of life proved to him that there could be more accomplished by rejecting that philosophy.

Although he couldn't say that he had "redeemed" himself to the Light Side of the Force, he rejected the claims of the Dark Side on him. Unsure if this means that he was a Light Sider or a Gray Jedi, he nonetheless started to look for ways to improve his own life as well as his few close friends.

=== A New Life with Odan-Urr ===

At the end of the [[Tenth Great Jedi War]] (During which the Wookiee was recovering from his wounds), a decree was handed down from the Dark Council that [[House Revan]] was too weak to continue. It's assets were seized, and it's territory given over to Council administrators.

Now without a unit and with a new outlook on life, he knew that he couldn't join any of the usual Brotherhood Houses and Clans, despite several friends that extended invitations. However, although initially not taken seriously by him, he began to gravitate towards House [[Odan-Urr]] and their philosophies on the Force. He requested a transfer to the unit, and upon his discharge from the infirmary, made his way to his new Housemates, eager to begin his life anew once again.

== Profile ==

=== Appearance ===
Lambow looks like your average Wookiee, with no real distinguishing features. About the only thing out of the ordinary to the sharp observer is that the Wookiee has careful, economical movements. The Wookiee also is constantly looking about, and aware of everything that is going around him. The Wookiee is also usually heavily armed.

Oddly enough, the Wookiee has had a cybernetic vocator put into his throat. This allows him to speak Basic and other similar languages, although oddly accented by the vocator.

If the vocator is shorted out by an ion pulse, he can still talk, but only his native Shyriiwook.

=== Personality ===
The Wookiee really hasn't socialized with many, and few can claim him as a friend. He also doesn't attend many social functions, and if he does show, he normally is quietly nursing drinks. Any attempts to talk to him are frustrated since he tends to ignore the person speaking.

=== Hobbies, Penchants and Talents ===
The only real talent that has been exhibited by the Wookiee is a natural talent as a mechanic, which obviously had provided him before with a living.

== DJB Facts ==

=== Positions Held ===
None as yet.

=== Outstanding Achievements ===
None that the Wookiee has been willing to share with anyone.

== Trivia ==
* The "Lambow" name came about through sheer chance. It was actually created by using an online Random Star Wars name generator. The name sounded amusing, so it was chosen.
* The "Mysterious Wookiee" business is mainly because this is a new character. There had to be some explanation as to where this Wookiee came from as a full-blown [[Epis]], so it was best left as a mystery to be fleshed out as the character is used more often in official DJB business.

Bastions Of Knowledge

Lambow: /* Synopsis */ Quick grammar fix.

[[File:Morotheri1.jpg|thumb|Right|250px|Councilor [[Morotheri| Morotheri Mithfaron]]; Architect and 1st Headmaster of [[Arca Praxeum]]]]

The '''Bastions Of Knowledge''', or the '''Mercenary Crisis''', was penned by Councilor [[Morotheri|Morotheri Mithfaron]] as an interrim chapter to the canonical saga of [[The Pillars Of Menat]] which chronicles the struggles and adventures of the early [[House Odan-Urr|Jedi Order of Odan-Urr]] as recorded in the year [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36ABY|36 ABY]]

===Synopsis===

The Jedi Order, having earlier ceded the government previously to the new City Council was itself uprooted from [[Ooroo Abbey]] (which had acted as a Jedi temple since the Orders founding) and moved to the [[Halls of the Watchmen]]. A shining beacon of hope and promise for the Jedi Order in the form of a [[Arca Praxeum|Praxeum]] became established in the east of the city.

The Jedi, now acting solely as mediators, ambassadors, and guardians of the peace were granted limited privaleges in the realm of martial force, but were instilled through the office of the High Councilor a detachment of [[Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force#Jedi Corp|units]] from within K.U.D.F. The units Commander [[Deo Sol]] works in conjunction with the Knights Of Urr and the City Council.

The newly constructed Praxeum and Library, funded to safeguard and archive Jedi knowledge and several darkside artifacts became the focus of a surprise attack by an as of yet '''unknown military group'''. Combatants rushed into the city assaulting it with blaster fire and explosives; at least one known force-wielding aggressor is known to be present.

The target of the assault seems to have been the vaults of the Library from which was stolen the invaluable [[The Holocron of Antiquities|Holocron Of Antiquities]], a device containing ancient knowledge of Odan-Urr and several of his contemporaries. Unaware of the identity or aims of the aggressors, High Councilor [[Drodik Va'lence al'Tor|Drodik]] initiated the Odanites to investigate and report on the attack and whereabouts of the Holocron.

With little evidence to go on the Odanites struggled to link the attack to any one faction or even a trail to start on. [[Cy]] and his renegades were seemingly disbanded or lying low, and the [[New Dawn]] were themselves preoccupied with carving a life out in the wilderness.

Jedi Sentinel [[Kaira Rohana]] eventually came by word from a Harakoan contact of a suspicious human male who had sustained several injuries during apprehension. Kaira traveled to investigate and found the man to be valid enough of a lead to bring to the attention of the High Councilor. She brought the individual in for questioning to which he claimed Drodik to be a violent warlord. The man refused to name himself but claimed he was one of many. That moment an attack on the Praxeum grounds erupted again as well as blaster fire outside the [[Halls of the Watchmen]] themselves.

A brutal battle waged between the (theorized) Mercenary army and [[Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force|K.U.D.F.]] as well as several Jedi into the morning, after which the attacking forces retreated having completed their attack run. Several casualties were inflicted on but the strength and autonomy of Menat Ombo's new government had shone through the valor and responsiveness of its military Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force. The attackers were repelled by morning.

In the aftermath of the attack runs, the Jedi were themselves victim to a [[Horizons|strange illness]] which manifested in 36.8 ABY.

'''Lambow''', the Mysterious Wookiee, is relatively new to the general Brotherhood membership. Trained by unknown mentors in the Force, he was requested to come assist the Brotherhood by one of the more prominent members they have, Arania Lawakiro Palpatine.

Exactly how they met and if she was his mentor in the ways of the Force are still unknown, as the Wookiee rarely talks about himself. In fact, his reluctance to say anything about the time before he started working with the Brotherhood earned him the Mysterious Wookiee moniker.

== Character History ==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===
Nothing is known about Lambow's early life and childhood, except for the fact that he was born on Kashyyyk. He didn't stay there long, as it is clear he had moved about the galaxy very often.

=== Young Adult Events ===
Nothing is known, other than he successfully completed his coming-of-age Hrrtayyk ceremony.

=== Initial entry with the Brotherhood ===
Lambow quietly entered the Brotherhood scene after the events of the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] during [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|30 ABY]]. His obvious advanced knowledge of the Force earned him the rank of a Krath Epis, which someone objected to. The Wookiee immediately demanded a duel, and if the Wookiee won, he'd get to keep his rank and no one could further say anything. The challenger agreed.

The Wookiee ripped of his challenger's face off in less than thirty seconds, and tore his torso into shreds within twenty more.

No one since then has challenged the Wookiee.

=== Service with Revan ===

Once his initial "trial" was passed, the Wookiee received word that a new House was in the process of coming together. This proposed House caused a commotion within the Brotherhood, as it was the first House to have been created in quite some time. Their shadowy methods of operation suited the Wookie, as he preferred to be by himself. Thus their usual methods of solitary agents carrying out the will of the House was perfectly suited to him.

{{Quote|To underestimate me Arconan, is to turn your back on death itself.|Xathia to Juda}}

'''Xathia''' is a Krath Archpriest and the former [[Quaestor]] of [[House Galeres]] of [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. She is a strong character and regular participant, and a Judge and a former Trainer in the [[ACC]]. Despite her fierce temper and her recklessness at times, she is unwaveringly loyal to her house, clan and allies. She was also a Serpent's Fang - adviser to the House Summit, and to anyone who requires her help.

She is the ex-wife of Draken Atema and more recently [[Kratus Vahillus]], although she has since dropped the Atema name due to his disappearance without reason. Her daughter, Alyssa, does not hold the Atema name either. Xathia is paranoid that Draken will return one day to kidnap Alyssa to merely spite the Krath is still rife despite having found out from her brother-in-law that was killed. Xathia divorced Kratus during the Tenth Great Jedi War, after she lost the twins they were carrying.

== Character History ==
=== Before the Brotherhood ===
==== Peaceful Times ====
'''(4 BBY - 20 ABY)'''

{{Quote|Her eyes are those of another. She is no daughter of mine!|Chal Quatremaine on his return home from service.}}

Chal Quatremaine was a light Jedi in service to the Council, and had always been working for them since the end of Chal's training. Despite his long times spent away from his native planet of Omwat, he managed to spare enough time to occasionally come home to visit his newly wedded wife. The youth of the bride, eighteen, had sent many whispers and tongues wagging since it was heavily believed that children should only be born within a united (married) couple and that the mother of a child who wasn't born in this united couple would suffer a painful and early death. Nine months after the marriage, their first child Tybalt was born, and whenever Chal visited, Axelle would turn out to be pregnant by the end of it. For Chal's first six years of service, he returned home annually, and then he suddenly stayed for five years, before returning home, and leaving again to return to service for another four years.

[[File:Axelle.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Axelle, Nyx's mother at 18]]
On Omwat in 7 ABY, Xathia was born as Nyx Quatremaine. Seventh of seven children, she was treated strictly due to her strange brightly colored eyes which was rumored to be the result of an affair or rape from the raid of the light Jedi which had occurred about ten months before the girl’s birth. Her light hair was never cut, and reached her waist by the time she turned four, and upon her father's return home, she was locked away in the basement.

[[File:Chal.jpg|thumb|153px|right|Chal at the age of 20]]
Her skin severely paled over the next year as her father refused to believe that she was his offspring and was often subjected to having to watch her mother being beaten in front of her, scarring the young mind that this was the idea of love.

When she was let out of the basement during the day times at the age of five, she was willing to be shaped into the ideal daughter that her father wanted her to be and would usually do all the house chores that no one else would do just to try and please him. For the next two years, her life had no difference as her father refused to let her go to school as his opinion of Nyx was that she was only gutter worthy material.

After her eldest sister and brother had worked together and argued against their father’s decision to keep Nyx housebound, she was enrolled into the local school. She soon found herself in scuffles as she had never experienced species other then Humans and often had her attention wandering to staring at the expanded culture, though she would not talk easily as she was not use to beings. Her teachers often despaired at her lack of attention, though she soon demonstrated strong Force ties and forced others away from her. Her sole friend was an Omwati by the name of [[Bryna]] for her time spent at the school. Her Force usage against those who teased and bullied her kept other children away from her.
Her free time was spent in junk yards to keep out of her father’s wrath which had grown into a cold hatred as the rumor was truth in his mind and his determination to hurt Nyx grew with each passing day as he was drowning in his addictions to andris spice and alcohol. She soon befriended the owner of the junk yard, Chi'thiac, who taught her how to create droids and kept her droid projects secret and known to anyone who stumbled over them as his.

Her father was also rumored to be hoarding prophecies that he had collected during his services to the Council, which many of the community held responsible for his withdrawal from everyone and his awkward behaviour to those he did communicate with. Many whispers of the town gossips indicated that Chal had seen and heard the prophecies of his seven children, and was also determined to not allow for any of them to come true.

==== Turmoil Erupts ====
'''(20 ABY)'''

{{Quote|She's worthless. She should be grateful she's alive and living under my roof.| Chal Quatremaine about Nyx}}

Upon turning thirteen, the young and blossoming girl soon tired of evading her abusive and controlling father. Her siblings had all conformed to his ideals, and she had seen their vibrant, individual characters merge into one huge bland one. Her confrontation towards the head of the family was violent as punches and objects were thrown amongst the vivid language used and also the discovery of Nyx’s Dark Force came out as she tried to kill her father. Chal then refused to even consider her as the seventh child that was pre-seen in the prophecy and declared it to be lie, it was at this point discovered that Chal had found the prophecies related to his children and altered their personalities accordingly.

{{Quote|Nyx, go to the Street dwellers, and tell them that I have sent you. They will take care of you until you can leave this damned place. Do not stay a second longer then you must in this town, you are already somewhat of a celebrity thanks to your father."<br>"He is not my father, his actions were not those of a father to me Chi'thiac.|A conversation between Nyx and Chi'thiac hours before the raid.}}

She was discarded onto the dusty streets with few belongings, mainly those she had been able to gather together before the fight. Her first escape was to the junk yard where she finished the latest protocol K-3P0 droid, who was to become her faithful companion, Kai. However, hours after the droid had been tested and properly finished, and merely days after Nyx's arrival; the cabin was raided for the arrest of Chi'thiac. Nyx and Kai quietly escaped through a broken side panel and ran towards the alleys of the city under Chi'thiac's hushed instructions to find a group of street dwellers to live with until she could leave the town for somewhere with better prospects. The female had first discovered what hate really meant.

==== Settled Status ====
'''(20 - 25 ABY)'''

{{Quote|She has the force strong within her. We will find this of use if we train her right and treat her right.|Zadox to Chras and Inrel about Xathia}}

Nyx stumbled across the local group of street dwellers, many of whom were older then her. Although her reluctance to approach them, she knew of nowhere else to go. One particular teenage Omwati male, Karmc, took her under his wing and took care of her while she learnt the ways of the street life. Nyx soon became a main focus of the group as she kept unwanted beings away with the use of the Force while also hiding them from the authorities. One of the eldest members of the group soon decided to rename the young girl Xathia, meaning 'silver shadow', to shed her of the outside life she had and to prove she was now one of them.

[[File:YoungXathia.jpg|thumb|141px|right|Xathia after being inducted]]
A few weeks after Xathia had been induced into the group, a few of them were lurking around the local weaponry market in hope to obtain the girl a first weapon as well as being able to steal some for profit. Stalls upon stalls of glistening metal blades lit up the eyes of them all. Her two companions, Inrel and Karmc, were talking to the stall owner, making sure his back was turned as Xathia chose her dagger of choice and swiftly stole the custom made blade before dashing back to the street dweller’s alleyway. She soon learnt to fight and defend herself under the training and supervision of the elder members.

{{Quote|She is pretty, but arrogant. She has her own ideas, and despite everything, she just appears to be the perfect picture of innocent. Who is she though?|Juda upon first meeting Xathia.}}

One particular day while robbing the local market, Xathia and [[Juda Kodiak Erinos|Juda's]] paths crossed. Xathia was playing as a decoy to distract attention while three companions, Karmc, Chras and Ricga, stole various items off the stalls. However, a vendor looked back, and shot Ricga as he tried to steal food. The act was dropped immediately, as the other three raced towards his through the heavy crowd. Juda had also been amongst the crowd, watching the quadruplet do their work, and followed through the crowd to get to Ricga who he attempted to save. Xathia swore against Juda's lack of success to get back at him in her anger and bitterness at losing a close friend.

One particular battle with the head of the group at the age of seventeen left Xathia with a scar on her left cheek and also forced her to run away from the group with Kai. This battle left Xathia believing that love was not something to want.

=== Discovery of the Brotherhood ===
(26 ABY)

{{Quote|Why should I trust you?"<br>"Because you have no one else left|A conversation between Xathia and Fionn upon meeting}}

Xathia’s wanderings to nearby cities took over six months as she passed her eighteenth birthday. The scar on her face was harsh since the wound had taken a while to heal, and meant her face would usually be cloaked or covered to avoid other beings staring at her, when all she wanted was to blend away into the crowds. Her small thieving went unnoticed as she stole to survive while traveling. Her last gem that was stolen was a standard Krath War Blade from a vendor, which she was caught doing but managed to hide away.

Unknown to the young Human, she was followed by a member of the brotherhood who had watched her use of the Dark Force to conceal herself from her chasers as she progressed away from one town and into another. His quiet talking and easing her into the idea of joining was a somewhat lengthy process of four months, at which she stayed in his accommodation and soon found herself agreeing to it as soon as the mission he was completing for Arcona had been done. During this time, the girl built her second Protocol droid, Dai'Lic, and also was given a set of locust knives from Oísin dan Kael'Og, which were the first weapons she owned that had not been stolen.

Fionn coaxed Xathia into the idea of joining with promises of a sturdy home, with other people like her, along with the chance to study further into the Dark Side of the Force and become a successful Dark Knight. Her past haunted her mind at the thought of these promises, when the whispers of embracing the emotions were said to strengthen the Dark Knights, and the Dark were nothing like the Light.

She kept her given name of Xathia, but adopted the stranger’s surname of dan Locut’Hal.

The journey to Antei was uneventful in Xathia's terms, as the Omwat Authorities only tried to take the ship three times before they were lost and well on the way to the Brotherhood.

==== Finding Darkness ====
{{Quote|Curiosity and determination will be the end of that girl.|Xathia's Lyspair tutor}}

The female swiftly adapted to the training that was received upon Lyspair, although she was finding the idea of rules and authority to follow difficult. She had several brushings with the teachers within days of her arrival. Xathia's determined streak however did lead to the girl studying furiously to get past Lyspair. Xathia was anxious to get back together with Fionn, and get properly into the Brotherhood, to see if it was different from the Light side. She wasn't fully comfortable with other students and frequently fought at what she judged to be a threat as her street instincts were still fully tuned, and these were only emphasised by the distance from Omwat that the young girl was. The only thing that held her back, were her basic skills since she had not advanced as far as most had due to the lack of schooling she had received, yet the stubborn personality of the female and her long concentration span soon made up for it.

=== Arcona ===
==== New Home ====
As soon as Xathia's Lyspair training was completed, she was whisked off to [[Arcona]]. The girl had hoped to be placed with Fionn, only to find that although they resided in the same clan, they were separated by House, with Fionn in [[House Oriens Obscurum|Oriens Obscurum]] and the female in [[House Galeres|Galeres]]. The Quaestor of Galeres, Priest Selene d'Tana, took an immediate interest in Xathia and took to guiding her and pushing her as she swiftly promoted from Apprentice to Protector. Xathia soon made some fast and hard friends, and became appreciating of Selene's friendship and guidance as she furiously studied to get promoted further.

The girl was introduced by Selene to the idea of qualifying for the Antei Combat Center. Selene knew that Xathia was well trained in defense and attack, and her anger would be taken out in an appropriate manner instead of dwelling inside her, while further training the girl's Force usage. Xathia also spent a fair amount of time in the Shadow Academy for her early promotions, preferring to study to try and bring her understanding of the way the Brotherhood worked into a better and higher perspective.

Upon turning Acolyte, Xathia was paired with her first master, Valnir. The pair worked together to get the girl further and also induced her into the Krath battle team [[Qel-Droma]], only for Valnir to disappear after a couple of weeks on a mission and never to return, reminding Xathia strongly of her street days and the words of the dwellers 'never rely on anyone to stay around, everyone only has their own interests at heart.' She became cold, irritated and snappy, only blaming herself for becoming too comfortable in the area and leaving herself open and vulnerable. Selene came to Xathia aide, and offered to take her on alongside her current student, [[Orv Dessrx|Orv]], and train her. The girl accepted her KCE's offer.

==== Vendetta against the Heirs of Palpatine ====
Around six weeks after Xathia's arrival into the Clan, a Feud erupted with a rival clan. The girl was aware of the five other clans, but she had rarely come into contact with any of them due to her focus upon her own clan. Xathia participated in numerous events and watched her clan gain more and more points over what her clan mates called 'the lesser clan', however more and more members were also considering their moves out of Arcona during the Feud. Xathia was promoted part way through the Feud to Protector. The girl was confused as to why the hatred between the two clans, until she learnt that Clan Scholae Palatinae had once been destroyed down to a House and forced into Arcona. Her master seemed to be having conflicts between loyalty to friends and her clan as she spent many hours in her office.

One day, Xathia was called to Selene's office, and upon arrival, became faced with a strange woman whom she had vaguely remembered seeing around the Antei Combat Center training rooms just before she had entered her Qualification battle. The woman was introduced as [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], close friend of Selene, and [[Aedile]] of [[Caliburnus]] and [[Society of Envoys|KCE]] of [[Scholae Palatinae]]. Although from rival clans, Rasilvenaira and Xathia took to each other warmly and started talking on a regular basis.

The Feud soon ended, and the two clans returned to their own territories, Arcona had claimed the victory and took to waving it around. Although some members seemed to have rubbed the female up the wrong way, as scuffles in the Clan and House buildings with Xathia became common shortly after the Feud. Her promotion work also seemed to be distracted as Xathia found herself on missions, the first one to collect debt on Valnir's behalf since he wasn't around to do so.

Xathia also seemed to find herself increasingly alone as many people transferred out of Arcona, namely Fionn and Selene, and into Scholae Palatinae. The Protector didn't understand why they had transferred into the Clan, until she visited them herself. The members she found were much more accepting of people as they were, as well as more relaxed towards everyone who was tolerate of them. The female returned to Arcona, and found herself torn between joining them, and staying where she was, as she was aware of a fair sized mission that would be taking her attention away from the majority of the Brotherhood. When faced with her Consul, Strategos, the girl requested a transfer out to Scholae Palatinae, completing the line of Arconans to leave after the Feud.

=== Scholae Palatinae ===
==== Refuge within the Clan of Palpatine ====
{{Quote|So you are CSP now Xathia? Great, get to work on that competition.|Phoenix to Xathia on her arrival at Judecca}}

The journey to [[Judecca]] was interesting to the female as it allowed her time to think about what would lying soon ahead of her. Immediately upon her arrival at Scholae Palatinae, the [[Proconsul]], Phoenix, pushed Xathia to make her first contribution to the clan. The master and student relationship with Selene was continued as Selene had replace Rasilvenaira as KCE of Scholae Palatinae, and allowed for her to easily settle into her new home. Again, although her and Fionn were in the same clan, they were separated by House as Xathia resided in [[Acclivis Draco]], and Fionn in Caliburnus.

Xathia also failed to keep herself out of minor scuffles in her new clan, as she collided with Knight [[Cethgus]] on her first day. The pair somehow managed to cause little damage and locked each other into cupboards. The wait to be unlocked was prolonged by a lecture from Selene through the cupboard door. There were repeat offences between the pair, and usually ended in similar results, for a number of days, until Fionn shared with the female that the Knight was his master. Although not impressed by his choice, Xathia respected it and kept her distance from Cethgus.

Soon after the ending of the scuffles, Xathia had heard the rumors of a female Twi'lek using others to get back at a former flame, and recording her dealings with them onto Holocron to play back, adding salt to the wounds. The female had already had evenings and nights with [[Cuchulain]], a resident Pontifex, after sessions of drinking, and it was already well known amongst several male members that the female was not that fussy about who she went with, although Wookiees (which she referred to fondly as 'Walking carpets') had always been out of the question. The female was approached by the Twi'lek and seduced into the idea of sleeping together. Xathia's curiosity overran her slight doubts as she had never encountered Twi'leks before arriving at Lyspair. A Holocron recording was made of the pair, and has yet to leave Cuchulain's hands ever since the making.

==== Distracted and Unfocused ====
{{Quote|This is no longer your area Xathia, leave or be destroyed!"<br>"I believe it is you who will be destroyed Zadox. You no longer possess the higher quality of training.|A conversation between Xathia and Zadox.}}

A few weeks into Xathia's entry into her second clan, the Rite of Supremacy was announced. Selene had noted her apprentice's distraction from the Clan and Brotherhood and judged that it would be better to send her on a mission to collect information from her home planet, Omwat, rather then try to compete for the clan. She had suspected that Xathia was hoarding extreme injustice inside herself over something, yet very few seemed to know anything aside from that Fionn had found her in a town, and watched her steal the sword she heavily prized then conceal herself from the chasers. Despite Selene's interest in finding out more, she wanted the female to overcome what was distracting her.

The girl used her newer droid, Dai'Lic to fly out to Omwat, on a borrowed ship. The journey was spent peacefully as they avoided detection of the authorities, not that they would be working with each other anyway. Xathia stepped off the ship, and walked through her home town in her robes. She hadn't seen the streets in just over a year, but it all seemed so strange. The Chief of the Street Dwellers caught sight of the female, and seemed almost hesitant to approach her, before deciding to see why she was imposing on his territory. The resulting fight between the pair brought the Human's presence to the authority's attention, as well as her family's. Xathia chased after her siblings as soon as she saw them, with Zadox following her, believing that she was choosing to run from the fight. The training sabre that was clipped to the belt of the Protector fell off in the crowd and made them aware of her 'special ability'.

{{Quote|She's a Jedi! She has a lightsaber.|An onlooker upon finding the saber.}}

Zadox admitted defeat as soon as the saber was discovered, leaving the girl to chase her family through the streets after she had collected her hilt back via the Force, though soon afterwards they were lost to the many faces. She had settled her brewing fight with Zadox, but she had not yet managed to find her father and settle her debt with him. However the authorities had now located Xathia, and were intent on actually catching her to hand over to the Jedi. She narrowly escaped capture as she boarded the ship in haste and took off badly since she refused to let Dai'Lic do so. The bot took over the controls as they flew away to Kapsina to try and lose the authorities without giving away the true planet on which the girl resided.

Once on Kapsina, Xathia left to visit the local café for a refreshing change of scenery as soon as the Omwati authorities had been lost. There the female ran into an Arconan, knocking his table and spilling his beverage into his lap, thus starting a fight. The result being the couple were thrown out, before Juda was called back to [[Soulfire]]. They have sworn vengeance against each other ever since, as Xathia doesn't remember the male from their first meeting since Zadox compressed her memory of the event.

Xathia returned to Judecca with a greatly improved interest shortly after the end of the Rite of Supremacy, and was promoted to the rank of Guardian.

==== Rivalry ====
{{Quote|You will die at my hands Xathia!"<br>"I refuse to die at the hands of those who are morons.|Xathia and Juda in a pre-battle conversation.}}

Juda chased the girl down again shortly after they had both been promoted to Guardian and challenged her in the Antei Combat Center. Though they both were equally determined to beat the other, and sustained a fair amount of injuries, Juda was lead away victorious. Xathia's Locust knives had to be repaired after the battle since one had been clean broken, and another had broken parts of metal missing from the blade. The fight did little to solve anything of their differences and only fuelled their anger at each other.

==== The Disappearance ====
'''(27 ABY)'''

{{Quote|You'll get to the position you want one day, and remember, no matter who tells you to do something, you only have to follow it if I tell you something and if you want to do it.|Selene to Xathia}}

Xathia and Selene's master and student relationship had worked very well in their favor. Progressing through the ranks at the speed the female was comfortable with while forging a tight and trusting friendship. The girl was once again called to Selene's office, and was this time faced with another Guardian, and a Protector. The Guardian appeared to be somewhat older then the female, and nothing extra ordinary about him, the Protector however, had piercing blue eyes and a shocking blue mohawk. Xathia's first desire was to question if the blue was natural or not, but suppressed it while in front of her master. Selene introduced the pair as Syphoc Rilkel, and Yzarc Rellik. Syphoc resided in the same house as the female, and had recently transferred in from going rouge for a year, whereas Yzarc was new to the Brotherhood altogether.

The Guardian understood that Selene would take the two males on additionally as apprentices, since Xathia did not take up huge amounts of her time and was considered fairly independent. However, a few days later, the girl went to Selene's office to ask about taking a second mission back to Omwat, only to find the office empty, and not a single thing to tell Xathia where she was. Syphoc caught up with the female and also asked about Selene's apparent disappearance. The girl tracked down the Roll Master, Cuchulain, and got him to let them borrow a ship to leave for Judecca.

Upon arrival at Judecca, Braecen and Phoenix appeared to be around in several different places at once and Syphoc and Xathia were told to return another day. Xathia roughly refused and tried to push her way through, resulting in the much needed attention of the Consul who saw to them immediately as soon as he realized who the pair were. Once in his office, Braecen explained that Selene had simply left. There appeared to be no reason for her disappearance, and left the Clan without a KCE, and three apprentices without a master.

==== Another Leader ====
{{Quote|I've just turned into my father, I've started drinking away my problems. I should have learnt my lesson about people the first time around, and not the third.| Xathia in a drunken slur to Cuchulain.}}

The female retreated back to her own quarters back at Ptolomea as soon as they were able to leave Judecca. Syphoc left the ship, and seemed to turn elsewhere, though many people tried to get answers off the girl, she simply ignored them and continued the fight to get through. Once there in her own place, she sat on the floor, and sank into her own thoughts. She was alone yet again, and the lesson of never letting anyone get close to you seemed to be a perfect option, yet she had failed to learn that lesson yet again. The female had no idea how long she actually spent inside her place without moving as time seemed to have no object when she was focused upon her thoughts.

After a few days, Xathia ventured out of her room. She had not slept, nor ate. The only reason she had left was to scrounge together drinks since her alcohol stash had finally run dry. The Roll master, Cuchulain, picked the female off the floor of the corridor nearby to the kitchens and took her through to them. It was there that she remained until the Quaestor, RevengeX, had her moved to the medical part with suspected alcohol poisoning.

The following week, Braecen took a few hours out to talk to Xathia, Syphoc and Yzarc about a replacement master. Braecen extended an offer to undertake them all. An offer which Xathia turned down. While she was still recovering in the medical center, a message was sent to the Caliburnus Quaestor, requesting a visit. Thran came along, not at all clear on why the Acclivis Draco Guardian had requested his presence while still in the medical center. Once there, the female immediately explained that she had been Selene's apprentice before her disappearance, and that Braecen had offered to take her on, but she had refused the offer since she did not believe for the Consul to be the best choice. It then became clear that Xathia wanted Thran to take her on as an apprentice. As soon as the Guardian was out of the medical center, a transfer request was put in for the female to move across to House Caliburnus, fully uniting her with Fionn.

==== The Eighth Great Jedi War ====
[[File:Xathia-HD.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Xathia during the GJW]] The award ceremony for The Rite of Supremacy was a peaceful start, and supposedly a peaceful event, until the Yuuzhan Vong intervened, and triggered a retreat. Despite all the refreshing time off the female had spent doing things aside from her studies, she was still engulfed by her own thoughts. Thran had been spending increasing amounts of time buried under paperwork, thus leaving less and less time for his apprentice. After two and a half weeks of little progress, Xathia borrowed one of her Aedile's ships, and along with Kai flew herself back to Omwat, to settle her real debt with her father and family. At the last moment before the ship was due to leave, Fionn ran out to the ship and boarded it. The duties he had been doing as Roll master had worn him down, and this was his only chance to escape, even if it was only for a short while. The female smiled at the Jedi Hunter and told him to prepare for a few weeks of being chased by the Omwati authorities.

==== Confrontation of Prediction ====
{{Quote|We are not your family, we never had a seventh child. I do not know who you are."<br>"Yes you do. You just choose to pretend to not know."<br>"You saw through it all Nyx."<br>"It wasn't that hard mother.|A cold conversation between Axelle and Xathia}}

As the female stepped off the ship for the second time within a few months in her home town, it was exactly as it had been last time. A glimpse of her older sister's head sent the Guardian into a furious sprint through the crowd as the lightsaber hilt kept them split for her. Once she caught up with her, the girl denied ever knowing her until Xathia proved she was her sister, the one family trademark that was found in all seven of the Quatremaine children, a scar of a lightsaber burn behind the left ear.

She was hustled along to the old home where Xathia had not even been near for nearing seven years. The shadow of her sister, lead to the shadow of her mother, who peered upon the girl's figure that seemed to tower over them. Axelle refused to accept that this was the seventh child, until Xathia's cold words and the showing of the burn made her admit that she had known all along. Axelle still refused to let the Guardian through to Chal. As soon as voices became raised, the older male came stumbling out with a bottle in his hand, loudly complaining that his peace was being disturbed. The training sabre of the girl was immediately lit and placed near to his throat, before she calmly spoke about settling their debt. Chal threw the girl away, and a vicious fight ensued, the house was damaged as extended Force usage meant heavy objects flew around like dust. Xathia left her childhood house on a better note then her arrival, for she knew that the debt was temporally settled.

Her presence on Omwat had been undetected by the authorities and the pair left without any problems. Landing back on [[Ptolomea]], with questions to answer to Braecen, Phoenix and Thran.

==== Post War ====
Around a week after their return to [[Ptolomea]], the new clan positions were announced. Impetus had been announced Ward of the South. The Roll masters had been scraped, [[Dorimad Sol]] had been reopened, with [[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana|Kosk]] and Syphoc as Quaestor and Aedile, RevengeX and Cuchulain were Quaestor and Aedile of [[Acclivis Draco]], and Rasilvenaira and Yzarc were Quaestor and Aedile of [[Caliburnus]]. Thran told Xathia, that she was now his sole object of attention shortly before her promotion to Jedi Hunter was announced.

==== The Proselyte of Wisdom ====
'''(28 ABY)'''

Once it was told that Impetus had suffered heavy injuries at the end of the war, and couldn't temporarily forefill her role as Ward of the South there was a short hunt for the person that would temporarily take over. Xathia was selected to fulfill this, and continued to be a partner to Impetus and shares the workload with her, being the sole Wards to do this.

During a frustrating argument on a number of rising occasions with Fionn, the female broke her Krath War Blade clean into three pieces. Looking at the broken weapon and feeling the realisation of the past couple of months slowly sink in during the silence, the Omwati looked back to the male, and broke their relationship off, telling him that her feelings weren't what they should be. Fionn was reduced to a roaring rage as Xathia slipped off for a few days to the rum store.

After the Huntress had been missing for those few days, a fellow Battleteam member, Nokkon Wud, was sent to find the fiery female. Dragging her back into the main building, and listening to her drunken stupor, pricked something from deep within the male as he brought her back to soberness.

==== Krath's Tome ====
Although the threats to [[Caliburnus|House]], [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan]] and the DJB on a whole had died down for a short while, the Huntress was summoned to the library with the request to find a legend around a curse that would kill those who were exempt from the Force. Gathering together around half of the House, the Krath assisted [[Yzarc Rellik|Yzarc]] and Malaki, with the help of fellow Krath, [[Syphoc Rilkel]] to instruct the House towards the tome. The mission was aborted by the Quaestor after deciding that the members were required back to help with Reclamation and that nearly losing two members of Souls of Darkness was too risky.

==== Reclamation and Promotion ====
Early into the preparations for Reclamation, Xathia was called forward by two members of the Souls of Darkness to follow them. Unaware of what they were after, the Nightmare Brigade member was told by the currently Quaestor Rasilvenaira, that she was to become the newest inductee into the Elite of Caliburnus as the Proselyte of Wisdom. This only irritated an already annoyed Dante, and degraded the relationship in the eyes of Xathia, as the female switched Battleteams. The Omwati soon proved to be pushed to the limits as the fight to reclaim the Cocytus System went under way. Fighting for Ptolomea brought out the girl's determination as she sunk into every battle possible, proving to everyone that being inducted into the Souls of Darkness was not a sign for Xathia to relax and slow down. The Krath was soon called away by her Master, greeting her with a task of capturing a Nebula Class Star Destroyer. Though the steal was dangerous, the female stole away with the lightsaber of a Jedi Knight, and successfully assisted in the ship being brought back to CSP.

Shortly after arriving back to Judecaa, the Huntress followed her master through to meet with the Consul, Phoenix, though the Omwati knew her master was not in a good mood, she knew better then to try and go against his word. After a much awaited long walk and talk about something ''tainted'', the trio arrived at The Great Citadel of Clan Scholae Palatinae. The Quaestor of Xathia's House, Rasilvenaira, appeared out of the shadows as the Huntress stood before the Consul. The Lightsaber that the female had stolen from the Jedi Knight was proved as ''tainted evidence'' to Phoenix from her master, [[Timbal]]. As though some sort of trial, Xathia was instructed to move forward and bow before the Consul. After a long and dread filled wait, the Huntress was announced to have earned her saber and Knighthood. The female was also presented with a Dark Cross for her efforts.

==== Deadly Deceptions ====
Shortly afterwards, a new threat arose to House Caliburnus in the form of a Hutt. Rising to assist her Battleteam, Quaestor, Aedile and House, the female lived up to her status of living for conflict. Proving herself to be busy in what attacks she made, the Omwati received another Dark Cross for her efforts to rid Caliburnus of this threat.

Once the female was able to return to Judecca and meet with her master, she learnt that he had been appointed to the position of [[Wards of Scholae Palatinae|Ward of the West]].

=== Clan Naga Sadow ===
==== Desperation ====
{{Quote|What's a big bad Sith like you doing all by himself?|Xathia.}}

The Knight found herself waking up alone one morning, an empty space in the bed the morning her lover should have came back from the training with her former Master. Scrambling around the corridors once she was dressed, the Omwati failed to find Nokkon herself. The Aedile stumbled over Xathia and pulled her to the Quaestor's office, where Rasilvenaira was sat hunched over a desk, several comlinks out in front of her, and a half empty bottle of rum. When the female Kaeth looked up at the Krath, she could see the dark heavy circles etched into the Sith's face. Confirming that Nokkon had indeed seemingly vanished into thin air, meant the collapse of Xathia's world as she knew it, bringing back the floods of memories from when Selene had left, and all the dependency she had gained in the gang.

[[File:Xathia.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Xathia meeting Ylith]]
After being helped into an overstuffed chair, with a glass of rum in her hand, the female began to think of everything. The Aedile and Quaestor quietly looked on and waited for the Omwati to say something. Staring them both directly in the eyes, Xathia announced she was leaving the House and Clan. As she went to put her Serpent's Fang Dagger on the desk, Rasilvenaira's outstretched hand stopped the girl from doing so, a rare smile from the Quaestor and the words emitted from her pale mouth, informing her that the Krath would always be welcome back into Caliburnus should she choose to return, the Dagger being a signal of gratefulness from the Kaeth for all of the work she had done for both Caliburnus and Scholae Palatinae.

Leaving Ptolomea, the female stopped by Judecca, and advised the Clan Summit of her actions. Though not exactly pleased with the Omwati's reasoning, Phoenix and Lucien let the girl go.

Losing herself in her thoughts, the Krath wandered wherever her senses took her. Fighting against the Vong when the occasional one strayed into her path was far from uncommon, though most of the time Xathia stayed undetected by the monsters. Standing on a building top on Coruscant, the female looked down on a male figure who had been cornered by a group of the Vong. She could sense the Force deep within him, yet he had no saber nor did he attempt to use the Force. Leaping up and sending a blast throughout the wall, causing it to crumple and turn to rubble on top of the vile creatures. Landing lightly on top of the mess, the girl stole the male away with her to heal his wounds.

==== Fate ====
{{Quote|Why are you following me?|Ylith Atema.}}

Taking the Sith into a shuttle so the female could heal his wounds and give them both some shelter from everything. She told him her name was Xathia and she had left [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]] in search of a new home. After Ylith was healed they would split roads again, yet she did not walk away, she followed him in the shadows, both wanting to know his true identity within the Brotherhood as she could sense him in the Force as a Sith, yet somehow he could not sense her.

She followed him for several days, often seeing him fighting off Vong and taking delight in the occasional wound he'd receive. While the other times he would simply take his sword and attack Vong himself, interesting enough, he did not use the Force itself nor his lightsaber, which intrigued her.

One day she followed him into an allyway, only to find herself cornered with him before her. He asked her why she followed him and she told him the truth, about her past within [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]] and the reason she left and how he had entrigued her. She took the blade of his sword in her hand and moved her hand over the sharp edge, cutting her hand, making a blood vow to stay at his side if he would share his past if he would guide her to Clan Naga Sadow, he walked away from her and she followed, startting a truce and small friendship between the two Dark Jedi.

[[File:YlithXathia2.JPG|thumb|175px|right|Xathia and Ylith - bound by fate]]
They stayed together since then, she took over the role of his eyes and ears within the force almost naturally while he stayed who he was, slowly he opened his life to Xathia and she would slowly learn how he was and where he came from, and why he left it all. They grew closer, and even though they both were too stubborn to admit it, they were growing inseparable. When a Vong attack sneaked on them they fought hard, trying to keep them at bay, after Ylith killed most of the Vong off and sent the other ones back howling in pain or hurt enough for them to die anyway, Xathia screamed as a Vong threw her down, wanting to finish her off with a final stab from his Amphistaff. The Sith moved in front of her, taking the stab as his own and killed the Vong off before he could make any effort in finishing the [[Valheru (Species)|Valheru]] off.

Ylith fell unconscious for a few hours only, sending the Krath Knight into a deep worry as she tended to his wounds and staying with him all the time. She smiled when he was awake and she could not hide her feelings for him any longer, and they kissed. Forging a strong bond that would forge a path within the jungle of destiny that would in the future take it's toll on both Xathia and Ylith.

==== To build and to Create ====
[[File:ShieldBracelet2.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Lightwave Shield]]
{{Quote|What did you do to it?! I can't figure out if this is great or not…|Ylith}}

Storming around the House halls while in one of her funny moods and Ylith's absence, the Krath stumbled into her own quarters, and upon the Lightwave Shield of Ylith. An idea quickly clicked into the Trainer's mind before she grabbed the Lightwave Shield and locked herself away in an underground workshop for several days, allowing no one into the room.

[[File:N3-L.jpg|thumb|150px|right|N3-L made for Ylith by Xathia]]
Leaning against the door, the Knight presented the Sith with his improved Bracelet. Xathia had attached a bow to the Lightwave Shield to go with the Battlemaster's latest hobby, archery, and strengthened the shield itself. Although Ylith was fuming once the door had opened, his anger vanished at seeing the new Lightwave Shield.

A small body then bounced out from behind the Omwati, a high pitched squealing noise emitting from it and its path was targeting the Sith. Although sounding like a small child, it was a droid that was no more then half a meter high and spoke in a child like manner, choosing to say words such as 'Ylif' instead of Ylith, and 'Sathia' instead of Xathia, matching the Krath's dry sense of humour. Despite the young appearance, the droid is as capable as Kai or Dai'Lic.

==== The Fox and the Scorpion ====
{{Quote|"It's in my nature..."|Xathia}}

A sudden action from the Clan Summit rallied all the forces of Naga Sadow together to Sephros, where they held a brief but very informative War Council which surprised most of the chamber. [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]] needed aid and Naga Sadow heeded the call, to the dismay of many the Clan's forces were rallied quickly and the two battle ready ships, the [[RSD Final Way]] and the [[VSDI Covenant]] were dispatched to move towards Arconan space and to save them from the Vong threat.

The definant Ylith kept to himself throughout the journey, only allowing Xathia near him. Listening to the ranting Quaestor about the Clan Summit’s incapabilities brought forward the memories of a particular tale to the Krath’s mind. Smirking a little, she told it to the eager Sith suddenly, inspiring his next plan.

{{Quote|The Scorpion asked the Fox to help him across the river, the Fox however, was careful and said 'I will, yet you must vow never to sting me.' and the Scorpion replied, 'but ofcourse, I vow this to you. As the Fox was swimming with the Scorpion on his back, the Scorpion stung him as he was halfway there. 'You vowed yet you betray, why?' The Fox said and the Scorpion silently whispered...Because it's in my nature....|Tale of the Fox and the Scorpion}}

Ylith set about with his plan to make Naga Sadow the most powerful clan in the brotherhood by rendering Arcona to descruction, before being called to go into battle against the Vong. Although the Knight stayed aboard the ship, and tended to the wounded, once the furious Sith was back aboard, she learnt of his dismissal from Quaestor, for refusing to let the Key venue fall into the hands of the Vong by retreating further into the city as per the orders of the Consul, [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu|Ashia]]. Knowing that the Battlemaster had sworn vengeance upon the Consul, the Krath silently swore revenge upon Ashia.

=== Return to the Heirs of Palpatine ===
==== Homesickness ====
After the Battle at Selen Clan Naga Sadow was shaken to it's very core as two of their elders suddenly betrayed their own clan. Seemingly taken over the flagship and traveling to the mysterious planet of Lehon, where it was said that Darth Revan himself used the Star Forge to cripple the Old Republic.

A large battle ensued and Xathia was standing on the sidelines, together with Ylith who was aching for revenge on [[Darth Vexatus]]. He turned in a man Xathia did not know or could predict anymore. He was cold, heartless, not the man she fell in love with anymore. Driven only by anger and hatred the Valheru pushed onwards, leaving his beloved in the shadow of his vengeance.

When they landed and Ylith moved to fight Darth Vexatus the Omwati spent her time alone, with N3-L at her side telling stories about how brave Ylith was. The Human girl cared little for the smaller droids stories and after a series of stomach aches, she decided to run a medical check on herself te detirmine the cause of her illness, finding out that she was carrying a child.

The Volcano erupted violently and her greatest fears came to life, but before she could set one foot towards the firey mountain Ylith returned to her, reborn into Draken like he was before, even though she never witnessed the change before she could remember the stories told by Ylith before, knowing still that is was the man she loved dearly, even if it was part of him.

Xathia plotted a course to the only true home she ever had and where Draken would be safe. While the Omwati carefully told Draken about the pregnancy, the Sith, unlike of what she expected, responded joyously and proposed to her and she accepted. However, the Knight knew it would be too dangerous for either of them to stay around in Clan Naga Sadow, and opted to return to her home in Clan Scholae Palatinae. His new appearance was unnerving to the Journeyman as she knew that he wasn't the same man as he was before the Battle of Lehon.

==== Unexpected surprise ====
{{Quote|I never thought this would happen to me...|Xathia}}

The Trainer was crouching over yet another project one day, when the bouncing droid of N3-L burst into the workshop, and interrupted the female. Standing upright, Xathia was greeted by Draken and a proposal of interesting sorts. The Rollmaster had accepted the male's marriage proposal while on the journey to Scholae Palatinae, but had never expected the wedding to go ahead. The Sith proposed an eloping to another planet, to go ahead with a brief ceramony. Smiling, she accepted.

The wedding itself was quiet, and Xathia was dressed in a long, ivory dress, with Draken in his formal robes. Exchanging vows, and having a few quiet days in a luxurious hotel, the Krath returned refreshed, and with another secret still held close to her. The Trainer still hid the signs from everyone that she was pregnant, having shortly discovered this after the Battle of Lehon, this was to be shrouded in secret for as long as possible for they both knew that enemies were lurking not far away.

==== Negligence ====
{{Quote|Why would he leave us?!|Xathia screaming at Brent on news that Draken was nowhere to be found}}

During the Uneasy Alliances of Plagueis, Arcona and Scholae Palatinae, Xathia quietly kept to the sides and the medical center, her heavily pregnant bump now showing regardless of what the Krath wore. The Rollmaster had resigned from her duties as an [[ACC]] Trainer, and was barely seen out of particular quarters. Her husband, Draken, although seemingly close to the female, frequently drifted away from her and refused to speak to Xathia at times on why he was so silent. Putting it down to stress, the Knight kept out of his way.

Once they had returned to Ptolomea, Xathia went back to using her quarters and office as her place to be found. Growing increasingly concerned over Draken's lack of presence, the Krath confronted the Battlemaster, only to be told that it was nothing to do with her. Not accepting his answer, but feeling even more frustrated by the male, Xathia locked herself away amongst the paperwork for a few days.

[[File:Xathia Alyssa.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Xathia holding a newborn Alyssa]]
Answering the door a few days later, to find the [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae|Quaestor]] standing there, with a grave look, and even worse news that Draken had departed from the Brotherhood without reason. Collapsing to the floor, Xathia burst into floods of tears, demanding to know why he left, before a burst of pain came through her stomach.

==== A New Reason ====
{{Quote|She's beautiful, just like her mother|Impetus to Xathia on Alyssa}}

Alyssa was born three weeks early, and weighed in at 6 pounds. The labour was long for Xathia, though not as complicated as it had been predicted by the doctors. The name had been agreed with Draken as soon as the gender of the baby was determined. Spending several weeks in recovery from the birth, the new mother found herself with a new lease on life, and passion to bring everything around to how she wanted it.

{{Quote|She will be brought up here; there is no safer place for her while '''his''' presence is not known.|Xathia to Brent}}

Once Alyssa was a couple of months old, Xathia returned to Ptolomea and her quarters to resume her duties as Rollmaster. Alyssa was usually found with Xathia, and rarely let out of the Knight's sight due to her paranoia of Draken returning in a fleeting visit to kidnap Alyssa.

==== Appointment to Rollmaster ====
'''(29 ABY)'''

{{Quote|Come on Xath, we need someone we can rely on|Yzarc}}

Shortly after returning to Ptolmea, the Omwati was summoned to the Quaestor’s office. Expecting to be faced with Rasilvenaira, the female found the former Aedile, Yzarc Rellik Kaeth in the seat, and with a preposition. The Rollmaster, Q’win, had a rather lacking presence around the House and Clan buildings, and was decided to be unfit to continue his position, and the Knight was offered to be his replacement. Smirking a little, she accepted.

==== Stepping down from Duty ====
{{Quote|I can't do this anymore, she needs my attention, not my neglience, that's where my parents went wrong.|Xathia to Daniel Stephens}}

Finding herself constantly exhausted, the Knight finally brought herself before the [[Quaestor]] and [[Aedile]], admitting defeat in that she couldn't be a mother, and the Rollmaster of Caliburnus. Xathia had found herself constantly neglecting the new members in favor of her daughter requiring her attention.

Called before the Clan Summit at a short notice, the Omwati was thoroughly confused as to why she was standing there. Upon his rising, Xathia was announced as a [[Krath Priest]] for her hard work done both as a Trainer and Rollmaster to the House, Clan and Brotherhood.

=== Return to the Beginning ===
==== The New Start ====
{{Quote|Mmm, I have a feeling we'll be safer here Alyssa, he doesn't know what we've done|Xathia}}

The mother had been in contact with an old friend from her [[Clan Naga Sadow]] times, and had increasingly heard of Clan Arcona's need for constant and steady individuals. The [[Vorion|Proconsul]] had requested for her to help the Clan back to where it deserved to lie. Looking back at what [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]] had to offer, the Priestess decided that a fresh start was required for the Omwati to continue advancing through the ranks of the Brotherhood. Boarding a private ship, and keeping Alyssa close to her body, Xathia got onto the ship sent by Vorion, the droids were about to close the door, when a recent accquaintance stuck his foot in the door, and forced it open far back enough for his form to slide in. Eyeing up the male, the young woman said nothing, and signalled for the departure before any of the officials got hold of them.

{{Quote|You know me Xathia, and I don't think there's anything for me in Scholae Palatinae, what's the point in stopping?|Indoril on the ship}}

Easing back into her seat, Xathia stared at Indoril "Knight" Do'Urden, waiting for his explanation. He merely gave a loopsided grin, before leaning forward, and launching into great detail about how he had known about the Omwati's messages from the Arconan Proconsul, and that she had chosen to leave for Arcona after considering everything she had before her, before ending with his reasoning. Squeezing Alyssa lightly, the former Rollmaster nodded at him, chewing over his words in her mind.

==== An Old Friend returns ====
Shortly after the Priestess's return to Arcona, a message buzzed through on her comlink, someone claiming to know her had been intercepted at the entrance. Briefly stopping to collect Alyssa from her crib, the Krath fleeting ran in haste to the entrance, not sure what to expect.

{{Quote|It has been a long time Nyx, but you have barely changed, I can only sense the same darkness in every corner of your soul that was there when you were seven.|Bryna to Xathia}}

An Omwati female smiled at the mother, and started up a conversation, a lightsaber hilt swinging from the woman's shapely hips. Bryna gestured towards Alyssa and suggested something dear to the Arconan, that Bryna herself would guard the child for the first few years of her life and teach her in ways of self defense before returning her to Xathia and the Dark Brotherhood. Falling silent, Bryna continued and explained she had also 'fallen' during her Jedi training, seeing the Dark Side as the only way forward. Deciding to trust the Omwati, the woman handed over the child, and Bryna explained where she would be hiding with Alyssa. Kissing the baby on the head, Xathia let Bryna leave with Alyssa.

{{Quote|She will be safe at least, Draken has no hope of finding her while she is with you|Xathia}}

[[Sashar Arconae]] called [[Soulfire Strike Team|Soulfire]] together, as the [[Quaestor]] of [[House Galeres]], [[Xander Drax]] had been acting oddly strange. Vorion had caught earshot that [[Xander Drax]] was feeding information back to the Vong, and an order was given for the [[Quaestor]] to be brought in for questioning. Upon nearly being captured, [[Xander Drax]] shot himself.

==== An Elevation ====
Lounging in the office of the Proconsul, and discussing the events of the prior Quaestor, since the Aedile had been fired shortly after the female's entrance to Arcona, this left [[House Galeres]] without a Summit. Sashar soon joined the office with an idea that had been brimming in his mind, and appointed Xathia to the position of [[Quaestor]], and [[Orv Dessrx]], who had recently returned, as Aedile.
[[File:XathiaQUA.jpg|left|200px]]

==== Alyssa disappears ====
{{Quote|Leaving her with Bryna, it was the worst mistake of my life. I should learn that no one is to be trusted.|Xathia}}

Bryna had brought Alyssa back to the BAC Darkest Night after rumors of a Rogue Jedi had been sighted on numerous occasions, fearing it was Draken searching out for his daughter to kidnap. It was not long before there was an attempt on the Proconsul's life, and both herself and Alyssa were withdrawn into private from the nursery, joining Tirna in the secret quarters for their protection in theory. From there, Xathia learnt that the same action had been taken for the sister House, Qel-Droma's Quaestor and Aedile.

Bryna stayed behind in the nursery, as something of a decoy to make the situation seem normal. The Omwati was on edge for the entirety, when a rash Guardian who had recently returned to the Brotherhood showed up, chasing down the Priestess. Questioning him thoroughly, the Omwati confirmed the male was Xathia's new apprentice, Aiorus Van Trayus, and advised she was not available at that moment in time before shooing him away.

Coming out of hiding, the Quaestor could only sense fear and confusion in those she could find through the Force. Leaving Bryna to look over Alyssa, the pair of them converse in Omwatese before the woman left to take on her duties after testing the comlink, only to find it dead. Frowning she quickly bumped into Aiorus as soon as she was back aboard the Darkest Night, and offered no explanation to his confused manner, but simply told him to keep close.

Stepping back onto the Abyss, the female headed straight for the nursery. Bryna was unconscious in the chair, the Priestess merely smiled and slipped past to the crib. Finding it empty, the woman burst into a fit of rage and fiercely shook the sleeping Omwati awake from her deep sleep, demanding to know where the infant was. When Bryna just about managed to mumble a coherent sentence, and keep herself conscious to stop falling back into a deep sleep, the Quaestor drew her lightsaber, and pointed it at the Omwati's throat. Snarling, Xathia told Bryna to get away from her because she had lost the one thing the Priestess dared to care about.

==== Black Tempest ====
{{Quote|This could be a trap you do realize."<br>"Traps work both ways.|Comodore and Xathia, moments before the jump to hyperspace}}

Xathia was suddenly picked up by the Clan Rollmaster, Rho d'Tana, who hurriedly explained the situation. Frowning, she kept up, as they joined with Arcturus, Etah and a Babarel whom the Priestess had heard was called Zakath. His scars seemed a little weird to the woman, but she quickly dismissed it, as the five of them came up against Strategos, Malidir and Zandro. The woman quickly followed Arcturus as the pair of them took on Strategos before they were knocked back with a blast. Clambering back onto their feet, they were faced with the form of the Consul before they all leapt back into something of a fight, Xathia wasn't sure who she was fighting, and her mind was frequently focused on the missing infant.

Meeting back up with Tirna, and the Qel-Droma House summit, Taigikori and Legorii, after being called up with the missing Consul, and Proconsul, to the Abyss Bridge, the remaining Summit took charge. A Jedi Hunter from Qel-Droma had been caught as a 'Shadesworm', Taigikori took him in for questioning. Several hours later, the intercom pinged to let them know the ship was close to decanting and the Qel-Droma Quaestor reappeared. The Commodore who found the Priestess's isolation away from the rest of the crew something of a comfort as he approached her, conferring his worries that it may be a trap, smirking, she replied that traps worked both ways.

==== Stair of Doto ====
{{Quote|Calm yourself Quaestor"<br>"You stole my baby, and you expect me to be calm?!"<br>"I expect you to act like a Dark Jedi|Vorion and Xathia.}}

Xathia sensed Alyssa alive on the Creeping Darkness as it came into the sensors. A fresh wave of sheer hatred flooded through her as the crackle of a lightsaber brought the Quaestor's attention back to the Bridge, as some form that supposedly was Talos d'Tana, entered the room. The creature smirked, and hinted at the death of the woman's baby should the incoming call not be accepted. Letting the anger thrash out, the Priestess made a move towards it, only to be held back by Taigikori. Grudgingly accepting the call, the woman watched as the screen was suddenly filled with the faces of the Consul, Sashar, and Proconsul, Vorion. Before either Quaestor could speak, the Rollmaster pushed the Priestess out of the way and screamed at the screen. It came to light that the creature was Umbra, and it had been Talos who had fully agreed to it. Whatever 'it' was.

Calling through on a general transmission, the Quaestor was silently still fuming that the Clan Summit had hold of her child, and assured those aboard that the new presence was not one to attack and that the situation was under control. Turning back to the screen, Xathia spat at the Proconsul, her rage obvious in her expression and tone of voice. Her apprentice tried to intervene, something that the Priestess did not welcome as she told him to return to observing. Xathia soon departed after Taigikori and Legorii, her face emotionless despite the turmoil she was feeling on the inside.

Returning to the Darkest Night, the Quaestor kept her stony expression as she returned to the Bridge to act out orders despite that her emotions were rife. She dismissed her apprentice to Vorion's side; his expression had changed to one of fear as a new form of hatred sparked within herself, one of loathing at the Priestess herself. Turning back to the front, and over seeing the ship staff the woman left herself shut off from everything. Suddenly being jolted back, by the form that caused her deep repugnance, the woman had her lightsaber hilt in her hand, ready to active while looking upon the form of her supposed 'husband'.

{{Quote|I've come to see you Quaestor.|Tyren Atema to Xathia}}

A slap across the face was her instant reaction before a broad argument ensued, the fury of the woman leading her actions. Tyren admitted to the Priestess that Draken was dead, by his hand. The Priest swore that since both her and Alyssa were his flesh and blood, that he would protect them both. Accepting this somewhat at least for the present moment, the pair of them then proceeded to catch up with the rest of the crew as they joined into battle against the Vong.

==== Unification ====
Rumors were flying around the Clan ships that the Dark Council was going to give orders for the invasion of Antei, and to retake the planet back from the Vong. The woman was restless, and her stomach seemed to reflect it. Very little she ate stayed down. The Force seemed to be the only thing to keep her going as the Priestess gorged herself on the one food that did. Tirna had recently been disappearing on a large number of missions, and had left all her duties to the Quaestor. After discussions with the Clan Summit, Strategos was placed in as Aedile to deal with the looming situation. Retreating back to her quarters to spend some rare time with Alyssa, Xathia felt as though she was sitting on something, and waiting for it to unfold.

Leaning back in her seat as her infant slept, Xathia was picking through cherries when a Novice disturbed the perfect atmosphere of her quarters. Receiving a comlink through at the same time, her logic seemed to point through that Strategos and Timeros had something to do with the Novice's quarters being occupied and the chaos that was currently ongoing. Once they arrived at the quarters, a sleeping Aedile in the form of the Adept was what greeted them both. Dismissing the Novice to sleep elsewhere, the woman sat on the male, and eventually fell asleep waiting for him to wake up.

Timeros burst in on them both later, waking Xathia first at the sound of the slamming door. Pulling her off the Aedile, they both then proceeded to wake the now hung-over Strategos. While in the hangar, the Epis updated them both on the situation, that the Vong were dead, and that there was a new enemy at hand.

As the Priestess clambered into the ship to join down onto the surface with the Epis and Adept, a sharp pain burst through her abdomen, causing her to collapse to the floor. She wrapped her arms around herself, and tried to stop whatever the pain was, as blood soaked through her robes and along the floor. Timeros knocked the woman unconscious as the Elder called for the medical staff.

Waking up in the medical bay, Xathia felt drained of everything and unable to lift her head. A nurse passed by, and sat next to the Quaestor's bed. An uncomfortable silence was all that pierced the atmosphere as the Priestess was told what had happened.

{{Quote|I'm afraid you suffered a miscarriage. You were two and a half months pregnant.|Nurse to Xathia in the medical bay}}

The truth numbed the woman, as she slipped into a nervous breakdown.

==== The Dark Curse ====
'''(30 ABY)'''

Xathia disappeared as soon as she was released from the hospital. The Barabel, Zakath, had visited her on several occasions for no apparent reason except for updates on how the war was faring. The woman wasn't sure if she wanted to know as she had been replaced by Timeros as [[Quaestor]] who had then taken Etah on as his [[Aedile]] so that Galeres could be run smoothly in Xathia's absence. Taking Bryna and Alyssa with her, the Krath Priestess retreated to a nearby planet where she practiced her fighting skills and numbed herself further.

[[File:Dark Curse.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Xathia and Xuthen]]
After a couple of weeks, the three of them returned to find that the war had been somewhat of a success. The Priestess tested the water in the Antei Combat Center competition, only to lose half of her battles which annoyed the Krath deeply. One afternoon, the usual stillness of the Arconan base was broken by an announcement for all volunteers to attend to the Citadel, although the woman nearly ignored it, [[Bryna]] pushed her out of the room and well on the way to attending. It was all a bit of a blur to the woman, but she was soon approaching and leading a group of Journeymen alongside Vassan and Xuthen. Mejas's attack was withheld as it left the three Equites alive, but they all acted as though dead when they were disposed of with the Journeymen. As soon as they were able, the three of them limped off to heal wounds.

==== A New Turn About ====
'''(31 ABY)'''

When Xathia resurfaced after the attack, she was unsettled and unhappy with her focus and direction. The new Aedile of the house had taunted the woman for some time, before pinning her down and admitting that he had an attraction to her. Unwilling at first to let her emotions get involved, she realised that she felt the same towards the Knight. Though it was reputedly thought that they were both using each other, Xathia to obtain a level of power that she had held during the Great Jedi War and Zakath to abuse her knowledge. They could usually be heard bickering and arguing and it was rare to see them in any sort of couple moments in public. With Alyssa's development beyond walking and talking, Zakath soon found himself in place of the absentee biological father.

After yet another scare, though this time from rumours that her estranged father was haunting the nearby regions, both the Aedile and Xathia fled with Bryna and Alyssa. They planet hopped for a number of months, never staying for too long before the Krath and her daughter were separated on an escape route. Cringing and struggling to keep Alyssa safe, the Priestess believed it best to return to the Brotherhood, where the young girl could start her training since she had shown large amounts of force potential during their travels. A new goal has also aligned itself up, to destroy the man who had set out to destroy her life.

====Return Once More====
'''(35 ABY)'''

Xathia chased her father across numerous planets with each new rumour and information and had her target slip through her fingers, each time returning to the brotherhood infuriated with herself. Leaving Alyssa with her two droids for one last attempt, the Krath Priest travelled to Nar Shadda. Coming into contact with [[Kratus Vahillus|Kratus]], Xathia found a natural attraction to the male as they both ended up hunting down her father, eventually engaging him in battle before the Krath killed him.

Exhaustion took in and Xathia made use of her extended period of absence, returning briefly to the brotherhood, the Priestess found that her brothers had also taken it upon themselves to hunt down their youngest sister. One of her brothers successfully entered her quarters in the brief time she was back, though his attack was foiled by his unbridled ambition and lack of skill. Coming to terms with these events made the woman realise that she needed Kratus, and suggested eloping.

Escaping again to Coruscant, the pair were quietly married though Kratus' presence brought a couple of amateurs to their hotel suite and ended their visit early, and nearly destroying Dai'Lec in the process. Redirecting themselves to Naboo, the couple laid low for a little while, keeping Alyssa calm and occupied.

[[File:Alyssa.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Alyssa shortly before Xathia's promotion]]

====Operation Get Tested====

Upon the return from the operation to the Scientific research base, Xathia was awarded the promotion to Krath Archpriest for her hard work within House, Clan and the Brotherhood after taking up a position once again the ACC as a Judge.

====An Addition and a Setback====

{{Quote|Wait, twins?!|Kratus to Juda}}

[[File:Vahillus Family.jpg|thumb|250px|right| Celevon, Xathia and Kratus]]

During one of Alyssa's routinely wanderings with a bag of explosives to one of the training areas, after escaping and destroying the second of her mother's droids, Celevon came to learn that Xathia had been acting strangely of late. Arranging a 'random check up' with the [[Juda Kodiak Erinos|Doc]], [[Celevon Edraven|Celevon's]] suspicions were confirmed, the Archpriestess was pregnant again.

Whilst Xathia was sent back to her quarters, [[Kratus Vahillus|Kratus]] was kept in the medbay due to an infection around his artificial chords. Both Xathia and Celevon were called back after a few hours for another blood test, since the originals had apparently been knocked over earlier. After waiting for a while in the medbay, an astounded Doc told Celevon and Xathia that they were paternally related.

===The End of A Partnership===

{{Quote|No one strikes my daughter and lives. Get out of my life and don't come back unless you want to lose your head.| Xathia to Kratus}}

The Tenth Great Jedi War saw a launch on New Tython. Xathia remained in the communications centre with Alyssa who refused to leave the Archpriestess' side. Kratus was sent off with his Battleteam, leaving Alyssa to watch over Xathia and make sure that the Krath was looking after herself despite the stressful events. The little girl was overly protective of her mother as she fixed and upgraded anything that was threatening to break.

After several days, Xathia was rushed into the medbay, having been discovered in a pool of blood by Alyssa. Kratus was called to the bedside once he'd come back to the ship, the news broken by a nurse after Alyssa told him what she had seen, confused as to why all the medbay staff were being so nice to her and letting her sleep in the bed next to Xathia whilst the Archpriestess recovered. Kratus become cold and reserved once Xathia was released back to the communications centre. Alyssa refused to leave her mother's side again, even not letting Kratus near to her. Kratus finally snapped, slashing out at the Protector, and his blade meeting the silver lightsaber of the Krath. Xathia's face was cold, staring down the man she once loved. The pair split, Alyssa suddenly humbled by her mother's protectiveness once again.

== Profile ==
=== Appearance ===
Xathia stands at what is considered to be an average female Human height of 165 centimetres, although she is dwarfed by members of many other species with a general appearance of a timid young and inexperienced girl. Her bright green eyes often seem to sparkle out from under her heavy blunt fringe, which is a mid-brown tone with a natural copper tint. Her hair reaches her shoulders, and is usually found to be loose and choppy. Xathia's body has often been described as slender yet curvy by other members, as her hips are slightly broader then what is considered to be average, and the usual dark clothes she wears that follow her figure closely, pushing her breasts slightly against her chest. Her legs are shapely and well built and seem to fit with the rest of her body. Under Xathia's left eye, there is a scar that follows to the bottom of her cheek which was caused by her first serious battle with the chief of the street dwellers, it stands out due to the extreme paleness of her skin. Xathia usually wears her ACC clothes, consisting of a long sleeved grey t-shirt, a black vest and black trousers, as they do not restrict her movement, with a black belt on her waist where her weapons are kept.
[[File:Xathia 3.jpg|right|250px]]

=== Personality ===
Xathia seems to have a split personality due to the voices that occupy her mind. On the one hand, she appears to be fearless, full of anger and bitterness, and a determination to batter anyone who dares to step into her path. Yet she is also young and inexperienced of much of life, and doubts and weaknesses frequently attack her. Her anger and bitterness is often vented during battles, training and any argument she enters. She can also appear to be a typical Krath in the ways that she is deceptive and manipulative, yet the Omwati also shows the signs of being a Sith.However, when her Master confronts her in a lesson, she will often back off and listen to his words, she is also eager to listen and learn the ways of those who are more experienced then her.

The female still has deep trusting issues with many people whom she even considers friends as past masters, lovers and now her husband have all left her without warning, often driving the lithe girl to drink heavily.

Xathia has a fierce loyalty deep inside to those that she has decided are worthy of this. Though no one knows how she decides, nor if they are on it since the girl keeps it secret from everyone around her.

=== Strengths and Weaknesses ===
==== Strengths ====
* Strong determination
* Is faster then she appears
* Fairly intelligent
* Good ability to use the Force despite her lower rank
* Confident appearance
* Long attention span
* The ability to create droids, and fix most mechanical things

==== Weaknesses ====
* Easily paranoid
* Schizophrenic
* Average Constitution
* Average Strength
* Useless with most weapons that she wasn't trained to use on the streets, especially blasters
* Cannot eat any meat or fish products due to stomach disorder

=== Hobbies, Penchants and Talents ===
* Xathia has an unusual hobby of archery which she uses to train her eyesight to close precision. She also finds it relaxing as it allows for her mind to completely focus on one thing only instead of wandering to other topics.
* She also has found that her attention span is incredibly long compared to most other Humans and can therefore learn a lot about something in one go, instead of having it broken down over three or four days which additionally allows for her skills to be tuned over extensive periods.
* Most of Xathia's spare time is spent training in the Antei Combat Center.
* Xathia's diet usually consists of a majority of non-meat and non-fish products since when she was a street dweller there was no where for the meat and fish products to be cooked, thus her stomach cannot handle such products after so long without it which also allows for her to keep her weight under control during her training.

=== Notable possessions ===
==== Boots ====
Although many do not always regard clothing pieces as special, Xathia guards her footwear with her life. They have lasted through her journey from when she left her house at thirteen and therefore she sees them as sturdy and reliable. The battered leather boots come most of the way up her calves and have protected her legs from many types of extreme weather and beatings. Her mother gave them to her shortly before she left the house since she could no longer fit into her old shoes, and the boots have grown with her feet.
[[File:Litchblade.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Xathia's Litch Blade]]

==== Litch Blade ====
Since Xathia frequently moved around with the street dwellers, trying to make a profit while surviving, she needed a weapon to guard herself if ever she was cornered and needed to escape drastically. The handle of the dagger was altered as soon as Xathia joined the Brotherhood to make it as comfortable as possible for her to use and has become Xathia's preferred weapon in battle due to her extensive training in it from the age of thirteen. Her original forename and given name, Nyx Xathia, are engraved near the handle to ensure that it can always been identified.

==== Kai and Dai'Lic ====
The first of Xathia's Protocol bots is Kai, who was created in the junkyards of Xathia's hometown. He has stayed faithfully with his mistress from the moment she left home, and guided her through the streets, acting as a shield and companion when she had left the street dwellers, although Kai is restricted to a selection of 40 languages including Omwati and Basic since the internal programming limits the bot to understanding more languages, and Kai also retains the training for piloting ships which Xathia holds no desire to do or learn to do so, putting her trust into Kai. The other Protocol bot is Dai'Lic who was created while Xathia was staying with Fionn as he completed a mission for Arcona in a town on Omwat. Dai'Lic speaks forty million languages and is programmed to withhold essential information such as places where Xathia has stored items and codes to get into places, as well as the ability to pilot.

==== Force Wraiths ====

Xathia is not particularly known for bringing out her Force Wraiths in battle, preferring to use her speed to her advantage.

'''Death'''

Death is a hooded skeleton. The cloak shadows his face and falls to the ground, though it is sleeveless, leaving the bones exposed on his arms. He stands around the same height as Xathia, though incredibly slim due to the lack of build. His face is never seen, and is said to resemble the horrors that Xathia has wrecked upon her own family. He is usually the Wraith closest to the female when brought out and the one least likely to be used in combat.

'''Revenge'''

Revenge resembles a Corellian Sand Panther. It is normally the first to attack and shares Xathia's determination. It is a slender build, though like all large cats it carries a fair weight, and reflects the Krath's naturally fast speed, using pouncing and slashing attacks to bring down the targets. It does not hesitate to use its weight to pin down an opponent as the other Wraiths or Xathia delivers the next blow.

'''Desire'''

Desire is Revenge's fighting companion. Her figure is lithe, and resembles a younger Xathia. Her hair is long, and tied back in a braid with Xathia's old style of fringe. She moves in a provocative manner, but shows an underlying bloodlust in her fighting. Her fingers are styled in a long and sharp manner, looking more like talons than fingers.

House Odan-Urr, the first Light Side House admitted to the Brotherhood was formed in 33 ABY after the initial encounter with the [[Dark Council]] on planet Harakoa, before which the Jedi upon Harakoa existed as the Acolytes of Odan-Urr. Though their function changed little (as defenders of the local, savage population) admittance to the Brotherhood shifted the focus of the Urrian population from purely domestic matters to interplanetary ones, particularly fending off their rivals—who would happily exterminate them—with savvy politicking and, when necessary, espionage.

==History Of The House==
Despite the Great Jedi Purge, several Jedi Masters managed to elude [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]]'s wrath and survive, going on to train students to rebuild the order. Jedi Masters like [[starwars:Ylenic_It%27kla|Ylenic It'kla]] fought actively with the Rebellion, alongside his students. However, the death of It'kla upon Alderaan and subsequent defeat of the Rebellion at Hoth (a battle in which It'kla's young force sensitives took part) shook the will of the students to continue active resistance against the [[starwars:Empire|Empire]]. They fled deep into the Outer Rim in their fighters, eventually encountering a world populated only by what they could describe as noble savages—people who lived closely tied to nature, shunning all modern technology as corrupting.

Settling upon the world Harakoa (rechristened [[New Tython|'''New''' '''Tython''']] by the Jedi), the '''new''' arrivals had soon spread across the planet, ingratiating themselves with the wide variety of tribal populations inhabiting the continents. However, as the population of colonists from distant, more technologically advanced worlds increased from several hundred to many thousands planetwide, the relative peace of the tribal world was largely shattered due to conflicts (which often erupted into full scale wars) over rights to land and resources. Fearing the eruption of a planet-wide bloodshed the Jedi intervened politically, brokering a truce at the site which would become the capital city of [[Menat Ombo]]. Though the peace which resulted was tenuous at best, it has persisted to the present day, interrupted by only minor skirmishes between isolated groups of colonists and the tribes.

By the time contact with the Dark Jedi Brotherhood was made, the Acolytes of Odan-Urr possessed little in the way of military technology. Their space force consisted of only a handful of outdated, beat up old fighters from their time with the Rebel Alliance, while their ground forces were made up of warriors from countless tribes and colonies, who often disliked one another more than the enemy they were supposed to combat. Due to the precarious state of their armed forces, the Jedi knew they could not defeat the Brotherhood fleets, nor would their devotion to '''New''' '''Tython''' (and the people there-on) permit them to retreat. To their great surprise the Dark Council was willing, and prepared, to broker an agreement, permitting the Acolytes of Odan-Urr to continue their existence within the fold of the Brotherhood as House Odan-Urr in exchange for Brotherhood recognized dominion over '''New''' '''Tython'''. Though the motivations of the Dark Jedi were, naturally, suspect, in the Brotherhood the Acolyte council saw a nearly unending supply of converts, and the continued ability to protect their world. The true motivations of the Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] are still not known, though it is possible he either intends to congregate all of the Light and Grey subversives amidst the Dark Houses in one place before annihilating them, or desires a foil with which to weed out weaker Brotherhood houses.

The motivations of the Brotherhood were eventually made known when the combined armies of the Brotherhood descended upon New Tython cutting out a path of destruction on the planet. The fog of war spread wide and thick across the land. Within days devastation had turned [[Menat Ombo]] into a pile of rubble. Odan-Urr fought back by allying itself with the late Jedi Master [[Michael Halcyon]] and the forces of the Mandolorian '''Clan Ordo'''. When the senseless war had concluded the Brotherhood departed as swiftly as they came leaving behind ruins and a shattered people.

The months following the war were filled with a long and arduous period of reconstruction. During this time anti-Jedi sentiments began to stir and foment. Near the end of 35 ABY the seeds of discord blossomed with the emergence of the '''Mad Hermit'' [[Cy|Cy Thuron]]. By raising support from the common populace Cy was able to topple the longstanding Jedi led government. The Jedi, recognizing the peoples right for autonomy stepped down vacating [[Ooroo Abbey]] whilst ceding governmental control to the [[Menat Ombo#Government|Menat Council]], a civilian elected body.

Cy's aggressive supporters then targeted the local urbanized Harakoan presence in the city. The groups speciest attitude towards the Harakoans led to the rise of an oppositional and equally influential peace movement led by farmer turned social-activist [[Gideon|Gideon Varos]]. The two hemispheres of Menat Ombo's conscience eventually clashed at a rally precipitated by Cy's call for violence against the native Harakoans. With a warrant for his arrest Cy either fled the city or went underground. underground. [[Gideon]] and his supporters then moved to petition the [[Menat Ombo#Government|Menat and Jedi High Councils]] to intervene and disband the violent dissident group. At the open assembly an explosion tore through the [[Ooroo Abbey|Abbey]] taking the lives of several civilians and Menat Council member '''Marten''' and famed Jedi High Councilor [[Ji]].

In the aftermath of the explosion Cy's supporters formally rallied together establishing the political entity [[New Dawn|The Peoples New Dawn]] headed by former Menat Ombo citizen '''Ozan Miliet'''. The group distanced themselves from the '''Mad Hermit''' and further cited grievences against the new government after which '''The New Dawn''' declared its official secession from the city-state. The New Dawn then en mass departed the city for points north the morning following High Councilor Ji's passing into the force in an event known as the '''Morning Exodus'''.

In the weeks following the exodus, peace and quiet did indeed return to [[Menat Ombo]] as did the continued reconstruction of the city. The Jedi having moved base of operations to the [[Halls of the Watchmen|Halls Of The Watchmen]] eventually finalized construction on the new training center [[Masters and Padawans of House Odan-Urr#Arca Praxeum|Arca Praxeum]] named in honor of the ancient Jedi Master [[starwars:Arca Jeth|Arca Jeth]]

==Government and Politics==

=== Council of Urr ===
The Council of Urr (commonly known as the Jedi Council) is overseen by a (temporary) High Councilor and ultimately controls all affairs and politics of '''New''' '''Tython'''. Their representatives among the tribes and colonies pass along and enforce proclamations, which typically favor the indigenous peoples over the colonists. During war time the Council is in charge of the overall operation of the Harakoan military while each tribal protectorate and colonial legion is specifically the responsibility of its Jedi representative. Though these representatives opinions are considered during legislation and policy-making, they have no real authority over the Council and are, instead, its servants in carrying out its will.

=== The Tribes ===
The tribes themselves, though extraordinarily diverse, are usually run by elder councils, upon which their single Jedi representative sits. Though they are subservient entities to the Council of Urr, the Jedi are usually content to let the elders rule their own tribes, only getting involved when matters begin to supersede established boundaries (either between tribes or between a colony and tribal protectorate). Elder councils generally consist of medicine men, shamans, and war chiefs.

=== The Colonies ===
With few exceptions, colonies are generally headed by an autocrat who rules absolutely in all aspects of life. Unlike their tribal counterparts, most colonial governments do not have a Jedi representative. They also possess a loose body of representatives which nearly every colonial county sends delegates to. Though this body can coordinate military efforts should a conflict erupt with the tribes, it has little real power and no source of income besides charitable donations from various colonies themselves. This representative body meets in Menat Ombo and falls under the control and jurisdiction of the Council of Urr. It is important to note that colonies upon Hakaroa are so sparsely populated that they are not traditional cities. Instead, a colony is a tract of land typically united by culture or planet or origin, covered by a smattering of small farmsteads.

== Economy ==
The economy of '''New''' '''Tython''' is largely agricultural in nature and, due to its continued isolation has no real exports of note. Approximately 70% of the total population are hunter gatherers, interspersed with the predominantly agricultural colonies, and the few tribes which have borrowed agriculture from said '''new''' comers. The only economic hub of note is Menat Ombo, a small city constructed of wood and hide where tribal envoys meet to trade and discuss politics at swap meets throughout the year. No real unified currency exists, though the Galactic Credit Standard is accepted in the capital. Barter systems and local currencies (such as shells) prevail throughout the tribal protectorates and colonies. Trade within the capital city is taxed by the Council of Urr in the form of both credits and good, which are then used to improve the planet's almost non-existent infrastructure and bureaucracy.

== Society and Culture ==

=== Jedi ===
Although most of the Jedi who originally arrived on the planet were classically trained by It'kla himself, a series of Force philosophies soon emerged, either brought by '''new''' inductees from the Brotherhood, or just due to the poor and unrefined training methods of the Council. The majority of the Jedi adhere to what they perceive as the original teachings of the Jedi Order and are often characterized by their wisdom, but extreme hesitancy to commit. Jedi resembling the '''New''' Jedi Order in philosophical content have also emerged. Though they are usually viewed as hot headed and rash, they have a tendency to live up to their 'get the job done' attitude and several have even become members of the Council. The third major group of Jedi on '''New''' '''Tython''' are the Greys. Though their peers often view them with nervous suspicion, their quality of person has lent them a great deal of weight and influence when forming policy. For the moment, all three groups are quite content to work in harmony and acknowledge the balance achieved by doing so.

=== Tribes ===
The variation among the tribes of Harakoa is staggering due to the variability of climate across the world. Though there are tribes practicing subsistence agriculture, many rely upon domesticated animals for hunting and warfare. Sedentary tribes typically live in buildings constructed from mud bricks or grasses while the highly mobile tribes of the hunter gatherers possess structures which can be quickly broken down and carried by domesticated beasts. The home ranges of tribes range from thick, impenetrable jungle, to wide open deserts, rolling plains, rugged mountains, and chilled northern forests. Each tribe has uniquely adapted to exist ideally in their respective habitats.

=== Colonies ===
Though not as diverse as the tribes, the colonies have their own rich cultural heritage. Their technology is often antique and well maintained (colonists are often employed as techs by the Jedi to maintain their starfighters, due to the mechanical aptitude of the colonists), and their methods of agriculture have left a lasting mark upon the indigenous people of Harakoa. The species of colonists varies by planet, but the two most predominantly represented species are humans—inhabiting the plains and forests—and Mon Calamari—who build colonies along the coasts of major lakes, rivers and oceans. The proximity of '''New''' '''Tython''' to many human-populated worlds and Mon Calamari itself is likely what drives people to settle here, though in very sparse numbers as life upon Harakoa is often harsh and unforgiving.

== Military ==
The military of House Odan-Urr is known as the [[Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force]] and is formed primarily from the three major species inhabiting the planet. This force, as it is associated foremost with the Jedi, tends to be very liberal in its political outlook. Both colonial militias (such as the Tanduran and Dac Unified Commandos) and the Harakoan tribes ([[Iwu Zawag]] and [[Iwu Kazharam]]) who join tend to favor reconciliation and cooperation between the species.

=== Army ===
The Tythonian (Harakoan) Army is actually a collection of warriors from the various tribes spread across the planet. During times of war the Council of Urr makes a call for warriors, which is facilitated locally by the Jedi tribal representatives, who lead the warriors along with the war chiefs in combat. Restrictions are often very loose and tribes are expected to contribute only what they can and, as such, the Tythonian Army is often left shorthanded. Never-the-less, the horde-style tactics of the horsemen from the plains, guerrilla doctrine of the jungle and mountain fighters, and hardy survivability of the desert hunters makes for a deadly combination in warfare. These tribes are supported by various colonial militias from around the planet. Militias range from organized units of veterans (such as the case with the [[Tanduran and Dac Unified Commandos]]) to loosely organized groups of farmers who are often excellent marksmen (see: [[Melewati Bushfighters]]). This force is further supplemented by both recently discovered battle droids and armor or artillery captured from the various houses defeated by the Jedi and Mandalorians during the [[Tenth Great Jedi War]].

=== Navy ===
Although '''New''' '''Tython''' does not possess a traditional navy, it does maintain several mismatched fighter squadrons piloted by its Jedi membership (and the rare colonist who brings his own ship and volunteers), known as the Tythonian Space Militia. Ship types typically include T-65 X-Wings, BTL A-4 Y-Wings, ETA-2 Actis interceptors, and RZ-1 A-Wing interceptors. Each squadron functions like a militia, drilling occasionally and headed by a militia captain, who takes direct control of the squadron during times of emergency and war. Squadron captains are usually senior members of the House who have been pilots since their days in the Rebel Alliance.

== Astrography ==
'''New''' '''Tython''' is the fourth planet in the solar system DLSCX-2298, which is the millennia-old Republic designation. The people living on the planet typically refer to the system as the Yhi System, a term adopted from a tribal name for the local star. There are 11 confirmed planets within the Yhi System, though most are far-flung gas giants and Harakoa seems to be the only habitable planet which exists.

The Chosen are a branch of the [[Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force]] in [[House Odan-Urr]].

== History ==
=== Origins ===

The Chosen started out as a group of [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] slaves taken prisioner many decades ago by Imperial forces as slave labor for the original Death Star. An Imperial officer found a way to "depreciate" the expense of the slave labor force and sold them off to the highest bidder. For this group, it was a bidding war between various Hutt cartels and some [[starwars:Trandoshan|Trandoshan]] slavers, but one of the cartels won out.

This particular group of Trandoshans were particularlly miffed, being as their purchasing agent was permanently silenced by the cartel to prevent a counter-bid to come in, so they decided to raid the transport convoy that carried the slaves and take them by force.

Quite unexpectedly, Odan-Urr starfighter forces were in the midst of coming back from an uneventful, but successful, recon run of the [[Judecca]] system, home of House [[Scholae Palatinae]], one of the House's most hated of enemies. The starfighters had dropped out of hyperspace to fine tune their hyperspace jumps when they blundered into the running battle.

The Wookiee prisoners had managed to take advantage of the confusion and hijacked the transport ship, but it was heavily damaged and was being hotly pursued by both cartel and Trandoshan forces, each battling each other in the process. The Wookiees, noting the arrival of the X-Wings, openly broadcast their situation, but were cut short by electronic countermeasures by cartel forces.

There was no thought of it by the starfighter forces. They locked [[starwars:S-foils|S-foils]] into attack position, and engaged.

Within a few minutes, it was all over. The Odan-Urr squadron commander offered sanctuary on [[New Tython]], which they gratefully accepted.

Arriving in-system, the squadron leader advised the House leadership of the situation, and they immediately agreed to provide aid, and if they choose to see fit, work as well, offering to pay fair wages and good housing. It was all too much for the newly freed Wookiees, and they all individually and as a group pledged a life debt to Odan-Urr. Their leader, Liika, stepped forward and advised the leadership that they had combat skills acquired during their service in the Clone Wars, as well as the subsequent war for liberation against the Empire.

The House leadership instantly grasped the possibilities and noted their possible positive additions to their combat arms, immediately agreed, on the condition that they rest and train up first to standards, then get to know the planet. They would be well provided for as well, and given their choice of quarters. Their positive treatment since have lead to the Wookiees naming themselves "The Chosen of Bacca", referencing their good fortune as being favored by their great historical figure. Considering that the word 'bacca' can mean "ally" or "friend" in [[starwars:Shyriiwook|Shyriiwook]], it is particularly apt regarding their new friends in the House. The name is usually shortened to "The Chosen" under all but the most official and important occasions.

== Culture ==

Still reeling from their time as slaves, The Chosen were reluctant to trust others other than their small group and the direct House members of Odan-Urr. Slowly but surely, they have been acclimating themselves to the planet and the Tribes, and their skill with technology and crafting have come in handy to generate surplus income for themselves when not assigned tasks by the House.

The Chosen aggressively patrol the area in and around the system, and are particularly aggressive against pirates, Imperials, and slavers. They often capture such beings and bring them in for justice, taking pride in righting wrongs. They've occasionally run into slaves, which they immediately free and, on behalf of the House, offer them similar offers that they had received, gratefully accepted by many.

In other respects, they function as a Wookiee tribe, if small by Wookiee standards. Recently they're taking steps to increase their numbers by marrying amongst each other and giving birth to the next generation of The Chosen.

== Organization ==

The Chosen are organized into squads of four, in turn assigned to platoons of four squads, of which are assigned to a company of three platoons for a total of 48 shock troopers per company. All three companies, plus their commanding officer and deputy, are organized into a heavy shock infantry battalion.

=== Liika ===

The Chosen's leader by consensus is Liika, the oldest Wookiee warrior amongst their group. His vast experience has been key in getting the less-experienced warriors up to speed. Using ancient Wookiee warrior traditions, he has brought the company to respect the ancient traditions and also become proficient in modern weaponry and tactics.

== Leadership ==
=== Liika ===
*'''Species''': Wookiee, male
*'''Role''': Battalion Commander
*'''Equipment''': Various bowcasters, heavy infantry weaponry, space boarding gear.
*'''Motto''': ''"For the Honor."''
*'''Biography''':

Liika's age is unknown, although it was clear that he was already a seasoned warrior by the time the [[starwars:Confederacy_of_Independent_Systems|Confederacy of Independent Systems]] attempted to annex [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]]. He does not go into detail concerning his previous experiences to non-Wookiees. However, he has proven to be an exceptional leader and commander, with a good tactical mind, willing and able to adapt to the flow of battle.

The Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force has its roots in the Tythonian Space Militia which after the invasion of [[New Tython]] by the Dark Jedi was reorganized to include ground forces populated by volunteers from many diverse settlements across the planet, including humans, Mon Calamari and Harakoans. Though the equipment of the KUDF is typically outdated and heavily used, it is maintained by the most top rate mechanics on the planet and many of the disadvantages these old weapons bring to the Jedi military is mitigated by the usage of guerrilla tactics and a study of asymmetrical warfare.

Lambow, the Mysterious Wookiee, is relatively new to the general Brotherhood membership. Trained by unknown mentors in the Force, he was requested to come assist the Brotherhood by one of the more prominent members they have, Arania Lawakiro Palpatine.

Exactly how they met and if she was his mentor in the ways of the Force are still unknown, as the Wookiee rarely talks about himself. In fact, his reluctance to say anything about the time before he started working with the Brotherhood earned him the Mysterious Wookiee moniker.

== Character History ==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===
Nothing is known about Lambow's early life and childhood, except for the fact that he was born on Kashyyyk. He didn't stay there long, as it is clear he had moved about the galaxy very often.

=== Young Adult Events ===
Nothing is known, other than he successfully completed his coming-of-age Hrrtayyk ceremony.

=== Initial entry with the Brotherhood ===
Lambow quietly entered the Brotherhood scene after the events of the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] during [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|30 ABY]]. His obvious advanced knowledge of the Force earned him the rank of a Krath Epis, which someone objected to. The Wookiee immediately demanded a duel, and if the Wookiee won, he'd get to keep his rank and no one could further say anything. The challenger agreed.

The Wookiee ripped of his challenger's face off in less than thirty seconds, and tore his torso into shreds within twenty more.

No one since then has challenged the Wookiee.

=== Service with Revan ===

Once his initial "trial" was passed, the Wookiee received word that a new House was in the process of coming together. This proposed House caused a commotion within the Brotherhood, as it was the first House to have been created in quite some time. Their shadowy methods of operation suited the Wookie, as he preferred to be by himself. Thus their usual methods of solitary agents carrying out the will of the House was perfectly suited to him.

Obviously the big Wookiee has been extremely tight-lipped about his assignments. Besides them, there was one event that really stood out.

Upon receiving news that an ancient Sith ship had been discovered in deep space, Revan and two other Brotherhood units rushed to claim as much salvage as they could from the ship. With orders to secure and prioritize information more than physical items, several House agents sprang into action.

They quickly got way more than they bargained for. The ship's artificial intelligence activated thousands of combat droids, and in the process of combat a mad member of Scholae Palpatinae awoke and became a willing host to an ancient Sith Lord. The resulting fight seriously wounded the Wookiee, and made him reconsider the path he was taking in his life. The constant life of possible betrayal by the Sith way of life proved to him that there could be more accomplished by rejecting that philosophy.

Although he couldn't say that he had "redeemed" himself to the Light Side of the Force, he rejected the claims of the Dark Side on him. Unsure if this means that he was a Light Sider or a Gray Jedi, he nonetheless started to look for ways to improve his own life as well as his few close friends.

=== A New Life with Odan-Urr ===

At the end of the [[Tenth Great Jedi War]] (During which the Wookiee was recovering from his wounds), a decree was handed down from the Dark Council that [[House Revan]] was too weak to continue. It's assets were seized, and it's territory given over to Council administrators.

Now without a unit and with a new outlook on life, he knew that he couldn't join any of the usual Brotherhood Houses and Clans, despite several friends that extended invitations. However, although initially not taken seriously by him, he began to gravitate towards House Odan-Urr and their philosophies on the Force. He requested a transfer to the unit, and upon his discharge from the infirmary, made his way to his new Housemates, eager to begin his life anew once again.

== Profile ==

=== Appearance ===
Lambow looks like your average Wookiee, with no real distinguishing features. About the only thing out of the ordinary to the sharp observer is that the Wookiee has careful, economical movements. The Wookiee also is constantly looking about, and aware of everything that is going around him. The Wookiee is also usually heavily armed.

Oddly enough, the Wookiee has had a cybernetic vocator put into his throat. This allows him to speak Basic and other similar languages, although oddly accented by the vocator.

If the vocator is shorted out by an ion pulse, he can still talk, but only his native Shyriiwook.

=== Personality ===
The Wookiee really hasn't socialized with many, and few can claim him as a friend. He also doesn't attend many social functions, and if he does show, he normally is quietly nursing drinks. Any attempts to talk to him are frustrated since he tends to ignore the person speaking.

=== Hobbies, Penchants and Talents ===
The only real talent that has been exhibited by the Wookiee is a natural talent as a mechanic, which obviously had provided him before with a living.

== DJB Facts ==

=== Positions Held ===
None as yet.

=== Outstanding Achievements ===
None that the Wookiee has been willing to share with anyone.

== Trivia ==
* The "Lambow" name came about through sheer chance. It was actually created by using an online Random Star Wars name generator. The name sounded amusing, so it was chosen.
* The "Mysterious Wookiee" business is mainly because this is a new character. There had to be some explanation as to where this Wookiee came from as a full-blown [[Epis]], so it was best left as a mystery to be fleshed out as the character is used more often in official DJB business.

== Introduction ==
The ''[[starwars:Majestic-class_heavy_cruiser|Majestic]]''-Class Heavy Cruiser ''Fury'' is a heavy cruiser in service to the [[Scholae Palatinae]] Fleet, currently assigned to the Rancor Horde Task Force. In practice, the warship is the second most heavily deployed vessel in the Clan Fleet, right after her sister ship, the ''[[MJHC Basilisk|Basilisk]]''.

== Vessel Info ==
The ''Majestic''-Class is a recent New Republic design which was meant to go up against a Star Destroyer at range and win. Using advanced targeting systems, this class can stand-off at range and hit their targets, forcing them to come in close to land the equivalent amount of firepower back. Excellent speed and maneuverability combined with heavy shielding and armor allow the ship to more than fulfill their intended role.

== History ==

=== Service to the Palpatines ===
The ship is currently commanded by Captain Gabrielle Kaal, previous gunnery officer of the ''[[Excidium]]''. Trained by Admiral [http://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/Ail%27en_Sommetra Ail’en Sommetra], she shares her cautious nature, and is pretty much a great contrast to Captain Salina Duval of the ''Basilisk''. Captain Kaal also shares the Admirals' passion for her crew, and is quite protective over them. An excellent teacher herself, she spends a lot of time between her duties as the Captain of her ship as well as an instructor at the Clan Naval Training Facility. As such, many (If not all) of the junior and senior midshipmen come aboard the ''Fury'' to fulfill their shipboard training cruise requirements. As such, the crew is unlikely to get past its' Green rating for quite some time.

=== Deployment ===
During periods of large-scale combat, the ''Fury'' always serves as the counterpart of the ''Basilisk'', handling flank security or flanking maneuvers. Much like the ''Basilisk'', the ship also is tasked with the safeguarding of important cargo runs, but is usually spared any diplomatic duties. Already the ship has seen a bit of action, easy chasing off a few half-hearted attempts by pirates to mess with Clan cargo runs.

The Fury is assigned to Line Beta along with [[ISDII Warspite]] and [[ESC Affliction]]

== Vessel Info ==
The [[starwars:Loronar_Corporation|Loronar]] [[starwars:Strike-class_medium_cruiser|Strike-Class]] Cruiser was supposed to be a revolution in warship design towards the end of the Galactic Civil War. In many ways it was, and to this day it continues to be an interesting ship class that can be an immense threat if the right resources are handy. The ship class has been designed from the ground up to be a multi-purpose ship, depending on the modules that are loaded on the ship. This modular construction gives the ship enormous strategic flexibility, assuming that the resources for performing this change are available. With the recent short supply of shipyards that are accessible to the Brotherhood as a whole, this is rather difficult to accomplish.

== History ==
The ''Valkyrie'' is an addition to the Clan’s Order of Battle that dates back to the days after the split of the [[Emperor's Hammer]] and the Brotherhood. During those days, a warrior species lived in the cluster that the Brotherhood had claimed as its' own, and they were forcibly removed from it by the Brotherhood. Since this species had quite a large fleet, not to mention quite a few pirates living in the area, the [[Dark Council]] decided to remove this threat once and for all. It gave the green light to all of the Clans to capture as many ships as it could from these rouge pirates. The ''Valkyrie'' was part of a fair-sized pirate fleet at the time, and after the identification of it by our Clans’ recon elements, a hasty capture operation was mounted. It was surrounded by and captured along with a Gallofree Medium Transport by the ''[[Excidium]]'' and ''[[Victory]]'', along with the help of the Clans’ gunboats. It was then taken to the Brotherhoods’ shipyards, themselves recently captured by the members of the Dark Council, and because of the effectiveness and loyalty of the Clan to the Council the Clan was awarded their choice of parts to upgrade the newly captured ships. After some debate with the senior members of the Clan, the suggested updates were then placed. Due to the modular nature of the ship, the Clan was easily able to add in a pair of gravity well projectors, as well as complete overhaul of the shields and systems. It was one of the first ships to emerge completely repaired from the shipyards, and was quickly placed into service.

Concerning the history of the ''Valkyrie'' before its’ capture, nothing much was discovered, as the capture operation as well as the acts of the pirates crewing her wiped out most of the ship’s log before the Clan was able to capture her. Still, some has been recovered. The origins of the ship are rather hard to find, as no one can as yet seem to find a serial number that has not been erased, but odds are that it was a system patrol ship that was captured by a group of pirates. Due to markings found in various parts of the ship, it seems to have changed hands no less than three times, and remarkably enough it seems to be in general good shape for such a checkered history.

It's most interesting part of history occurred during the last stages of the Fifth Great Jedi War. The Clan was in deep trouble, as a sudden [[Taldryan]]-[[Arcona]] invasion fleet arrived above [[Antenora]]. While trying to relieve the blockade until the rest of the Clan fleet could jump in, the ''Valkyrie'', under the temporary command of then [[Quaestor]] [[Phoenix Olkyssagh Palpatine]], forced the ''Lancer''-class ''[[Bloodfang]]'' to withdraw from the battle. It managed to defend itself admirably against the first wave of attacks from the other ships, but then was mauled by the Modified ''Dreadnaught''-class ''[[Dark Seraphim]]''. Losing its’ engine power, it crashed into Antenora. Although most of the armor and weapons, as well as the engines had to be replaced, the structural skeleton of the ship mostly remained intact, allowing the Clan to revive and repair the ship back up to fighting trim, although at hideous cost.

== The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster ==
The ''Valkyrie'' was not present during the initial attack wave from the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion ([[Eighth Great Jedi War]]), but it was present during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of [[Caina]] in the Clans' home in the [[Cocytus System]]. The heavy shielding of the ship came in very handy during the engagement, as it was able to absorb punishment and strike back. The ''Valkyrie'' was single-handedly responsible for the destruction of two of their frigate-analog ships, a commendable effort by the green crew. The sheer fury of her assault was noted as a primary factor in the retreat of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, giving the other ships of the Clan fleet a chance to catch their breath, all of them badly damaged. Interestingly enough, the ''Valkyrie'' used its' gravity well projectors to trap both frigate analogs in the gravity well of Caina, in an interesting repeat of the events at Ithor.

== Operation: Reclamation ==
The ''Valkyrie'' was on patrol with some of the other ships of the Clan fleet when then-Consul [[Braecen Kaeth]] took off with the ''Excidium'' and a few other Clan ships. Staying, as ordered, on patrol, Captain Rubro was surprised to see the ''Excidium'' jump back soon thereafter, obviously much worse for the wear. Even more sickening, the other ships that had jumped out with it had not returned.

Then a communication from Captain [http://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/Ail%27en_Sommetra Ail’en Sommetra] informed them that they had taken serious casualties, and to prepare for an incoming enemy force. The words had barely been said when enemy ships entered the system. The ''Valkyrie'', due to it's position in the system, was the first to engage the enemy cruiser-analog, but in its' battered shields did not hold, and was destroyed when enemy fire broke her spine. A good portion of the crew managed to escape, but there were some heavy losses.

== Deployment ==
The only Captain of the ''Valkyrie'' was Captain Devhe Rubro, a member of [[Dorimad Sol]] that showed an aptitude towards the command of a capital ship. After extensive training by Commander Ail’en Sommetra and then Quaestor [[Timbal]], she had been placed in command of the ship, but was still under the orders of Commander Sommetra or any senior member of the Clan or House Summits. This was mainly due to the Green rating that the ships' crew had. Since the ship rarely participated directly in combat, this had not changed much, despite the efforts of Captain Rubro. After initial shipboard training on the ''Victory'', new recruits usually then served first on the ''Valkyrie''.

Rarely operating alone, the ''Valkyrie'' was usually found operating with the Clan flagship, the ''Excidium''. Occasionally, as the mission requires, it was also used in interdiction missions, but always with the support of another Clan warship. Learning from the mistakes of the [[Fifth Great Jedi War]], standard Clan battle doctrine called for the ship to be placed out of harms' way, hoping to ensure that the ship remained safe. In Clan fleet operations, it was always closely escorted by another warship. If the escort was somehow neutralized, the ships' standing orders was to jump out of the system if it could, only fighting as a last resort, which was the case in its' last battle.

The surviving crew were transferred as a whole to help crew the new ''[[starwars:Imperial_II-class_Star_Destroyer|Imperial II]]''-class Star Destroyer ''[[Warspite]]'', a whole lot more experienced and eager to bring the fight back to the Yuuzhan Vong if the opportunity comes up.

The ''Excidium'' is the former Clan Flagship of Clan Scholae Palatinae. Serving quite a length of time with the Clan, it formed the backbone of their combat power until the events of the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Yuuzhan Vong Incursion]], where it was mostly destroyed in a successful attempt to remove Yuuzhan Vong ships from the [[Cocytus System]].

== Vessel Info ==
The [[starwars:Victory_I-class_Star_Destroyer|Victory-Class Star Destroyer]] is an older design that dates back to the end of the Clone Wars. Built as a multi-purpose capital warship, it's capable of handling ship-to-ship battles as well as direct support for ground troops. Even if it's slowly being out-classed by newer ships, it remains a potent weapon.

== Early History ==
The ''Excidium'' has had a proud history of long and loyal service to the Empire. As far back as the ship logs go, it was originally commissioned at the Farlax shipyard proving grounds, and was initially assigned to Captain Camdi Lobos right before the introduction of the [[starwars:Victory_II-class_Star_Destroyer|Victory II-class]] of Star Destroyers at the end of the Clone Wars. Forwarded to the Senex Sector, near the Corporate Authority Sector, it was part of a twenty-four Star Destroyer Sector Group, the standard Sector Group size. The ''Excidium''’s main responsibilities were the fast response to any pirate raids on sector shipping and the occasional space bombardment support to various stormtrooper units in the sector. It stayed there during the major battles of the galactic civil war, only really participating once during a rebel raid against a shipping convoy, which it handily beat off quickly. After the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]], the Sector Group commander, Admiral Liorl Malla, tried to proclaim himself and the Sector as an independent entity, but an unknown assassin claimed his life before this could bear fruit.

=== Service to the Hammer ===
The ''Excidium'' then received word that it was being transferred to a new group, the newly formed [[Emperor's Hammer]] Strike Fleet. There, it was assigned the task of the transportation and support of various starfighter ops that were being run by the Intelligence Division of the Hammer, and commanded by Captain Searo Livir. When the original House Scholae Palatinae was being set up, the Intelligence Division was ordered to give the House control of the ship, which was no real problem, as the vast majority of the House was Intelligence Division Jedi anyway. Captain Searo Livir was reassigned, and control was passed on to Captain Cybsh Smchi, the first female captain that the ship ever had. She continued to serve until the dark times of the Brotherhood/Emperor’s Hammer split, where her loyalties ended her in a tug that was programmed to jump her back to Emperor’s Hammer space while the Clan took over the ship.

=== Command under the Palpatines ===
[[File:Victory_star_destroyer_combat.jpg|thumb|250px|left|VSD ''Excidium'' in combat during the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion]]
The ship then served with distinction under the temporary command of then-Arch Priest [[Saitou]], performing as the shield for the evacuating Clan members in transports. Upon the arrival of the ship into the newly assigned [[Cocytus System]] that had been assigned to the Clan, it then made sure that any incoming threats were neutralized long before they threatened it. It was during this time that the ship’s crew perfected the tactic of micro-jumping, the term given for extremely short-range hyperspace jumps. This gives the ship a tremendous ability to ambush anyone within the system in a far shorter time that would be expected from a capital ship. Since Captain Cybsh Smchi was returned to the Emperor’s Hammer, the ship had operated without a formal Captain, mainly relying on the orders of its’ Clan Summit to do anything special. During this time, however, the acting Captain was Commander [http://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/Ail%27en_Sommetra Ail’en Sommetra]. She has proven herself a good officer, capable of handling her ship and crew to high levels of efficiency.

The ''Excidium'''s first real combat action after the EH/DB split was during the Capital Gains operation shortly after the Brotherhoods’ arrival to their new home. The ship was instrumental in the capture of [[starwars:Strike_cruiser|Strike-Class Cruiser]] and a Gallofree [[starwars:GR-75_medium_transport|GR-75 Class]] medium transport. Shortly thereafter, it was instrumental in the following conflicts, driving away the assembled fleets of the Clan’s enemies during a large-scale assault against [[Acclivis Draco]]’s home planet of [[Antenora]]. The ship then honorably was at the head of any combat action that the Clan found itself in.

=== The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster ===
Jumping to the Antei system with a good portion of the Clan members present, the ''Excidium'' was present along with most of the other ships of the Brotherhood for celebrations following a Rite of Supremacy. After the conclusion of the ceremonies, the ship and its' escorts were preparing to return home when an entire war fleet of the Yuuzhan Vong arrived and attacked without warning or mercy. Commander Sommetra and [[Timbal]] worked together to coordinate a defense, but the sheer ferocity of the attack, the panicked call to abandon the system, and a priority message that their home system was being invaded led them to send the escorts home to combat the threat while the ''Excidium'' provided covering fire and drew that attackers to itself. Taking severe damage, the ship limped into the Shroud surrounding Antei, made running repairs, and returned home. After losing a ship to Arconan interlopers, the ''Excidium'' led the counter-attack to avenge the destruction of the ''[[Emperor's Sword]]''.

=== Operation: Reclamation ===
The valiant ship had almost no time to rest. Upon orders by then-Consul [[Braecen Kaeth]], multiple probes were dispatched to chase down the remnants of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet that had attacked the system. While waiting for information from the probes, the ship wasn't able to get proper repairs, considering that the shipyards in the system were seriously damaged by coralskipper attacks. Only the more critical systems were looked after. Far faster than Commander Sommetra would have liked, word came down from the probes of the location the remaining Yuuzhan Vong fleet, nearby in Hutt space. Jumping in under the direct command of Consul Kaeth, the ''Excidium'', the ''[[Ogmio's Whip]]'', and the ''[[Victory]]'' took the battle to the enemy fleet, with the ''[[Dragon's Find]]'' and the ''[[Dragonsbarge]]'' loaded with provisions and spare parts to assist in repairs. The ''[[Emperor's Will]]'' was also present in the almost empty fighter bay of the ''Excidium''. The other Clan vessels were left behind to provide system defense.

Arriving at station, the Yuuzhan Vong sprung a trap at the Clan ships, using two frigate analogs as bait. Using coralskippers as the initial attack screen, the ''Whip'', in its' damaged condition, was the first ship destroyed, despite a spirited defense of a lone mixed TIE Fighter/TIE Interceptor squadron. A few moments afterwards, and the enemy sprung their trap.

From behind the Clan ships, one of the Yuuzhan Vong interdictor analog ships jumped in, hemming the Clan ships. Far more powerful than a comparable ''Immobilizer'' cruiser, the Clan fleet found itself seriously out-gunned. It was at this point that the ''Emperor's Will'' launched towards the new incoming threat, with only two persons aboard, Consul Kaeth and Natth a'Niel Palpatine. Reacting to this new threat, the ''Excidium'' reversed course to attack the cruiser analog, with the ''Victory'' leading the charge. The two frigate analogs then began pursuit of the Clan ships, and a running battle started, with one of the frigates being destroyed by the ''Excidium''.

During the maneuvering, both transports were lost to combined fire by the frigate analogs, and the ''Victory'', although initially giving far more punishment than it took, finally succumbed to the firepower of the cruiser analog, and was destroyed. The ''Will'' actually managed to board the cruiser, although it basically had been destroyed in the process. However, it was obvious that both experienced Brotherhood members killed the interdictor fields that was being put out by the cruiser. This left the ''Excidium'' the sole Clan ship remaining in the system, and with mounting damage from incoming fire from the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, the ''Excidium'' jumped from the system, returning to Clan space.

[[File:Victory_star_destroyer.jpg|thumb|155px|left|VSD ''Excidium'' in orbit above Judecca right before her final battle]]
Arriving at their home system, Commander Sommetra rallied all remaining Clan ships to provide support, but it was too late, as the Yuuzhan Vong cruiser and remaining frigate entered the system. Due to the positioning of the ships in the system, the enemy ships were able to pick off the Clan vessels one by one, with the loss of the frigate. Finally, as the only Clan ship remaining in the system, and with mounting irreparable damage, Commander Sommetra ordered the ''Excidium'' to ram the enemy cruiser. Spearing the ship squarely in the middle, the enemy cruiser perished. In the end, this action ensured the end of the Yuuzhan Vong threat to the Clan.

Currently the ship, minus a considerable portion of the bow and midships, rests in orbit above [[Judecca]]. It obviously is by far too damaged to be repaired, but in a moment of sentiment, Consul [[Phoenix Olkyssagh Palpatine]] and the rest of the Clan Senate decided to keep the old ship as a museum ship, pending some work to make her more stable. In usual Clan fashion, all usable parts have been stripped from the ship to serve as spares. She will stay in orbit for the foreseeable future, a testimony to the fiercely won battles of the past.

== Deployment ==
During periods of large-scale combat, the ''Excidium'' served as the Clan's flagship. When not engaged in active battle, the ship was usually guarding the main Clan Headquarters Facility on Judecca.

Commanding the ''Excidium'' was Commander Sommetra, finally promoted officially as its' Captain. However, she is well-versed in the Clans' long-standing tradition of occasionally having some of the senior Clan members command the ship. In such occasions, she usually assisted the visiting officer in whatever they may need assistance with.

Clan battle tactics called for the ''Excidium'' to be used as the hammer for fleet operations, as well as its' obvious role as a command ship. The ship was almost never used without a full understanding of the threats that face her in combat, so she only engages when the course of action is clear and understood.

=== Crew ===
As the long-standing flagship of the fleet, it was considered an honor for one to serve on the ''Excidium'', and seen as a necessary step in one's naval career to fulfill. As such, the crew always was a notch above the other ships of the fleet. Before the actions of the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion, the crew was rated as Veteran, and a small step away from being rated as Elite.

=== Legacy of the ''Excidium'' ===
Shortly after the loss of the ship to the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, the Clan acquired a ''Nebula''-Class Star Destroyer as the new Clan flagship. With the loss of the ''Excidium'', it was a unanimous decision by the Clan to name the new ship after the gallant ''Excidium'', called the ''[[Excidium II]]''. Furthermore, casualties of the ''Excidium'' were relatively light at 37%, so the crew and replacements are now assigned to the ''Excidium II''.

Joshua J. Timbal Palpatine was a former [[Consul]] of [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]] (amongst other Clan positions), one of the few Sons of Palpatine, and was a Clan stalwart. Dedicated to the preservation of CSP's history, traditions, and customs, he had few peers that could match his long history with the Clan. Timbal was also the single authoritative source of information concerning the Clans' capital ship assets. He preferred to go by his given last name, Timbal.

== Character History ==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===
Timbal was born into nobility on Alderaan, fifteen years before its' destruction. The sole heir to the family, he had retained some of his family's wealth, although quite a bit was squandered in his youth. The biggest event in his childhood was when his family was shamed and outraged when his father, a claimant to the Alderaanian throne, was denied his claim to it due to obscure legal reasons. It was instead given to the Organa family.

=== Young Adult Events ===
In order to "shape up" their wayward son, Timbal's parents pulled some strings and got him to join up with the Empire. Due to his political reliability, he was granted a slot at the prestigious Stormtrooper Academy in Carida, toiling away as a cadet to earn his commission as an Army Lieutenant. While away at the academy, he received news that Alderaan was destroyed, and his family was all on the planet when that happened. He instantly knew that the Rebels would commit any terrorist act to bring people to their cause, and thereby blamed the Rebellion for the loss of his family. The news devastated him, along with some of his fellow classmates from his home planet.

=== General Pilot Career ===
No longer interested in becoming a stormtrooper, Timbal dropped out of the academy and was subsequently found to be a promising candidate for starfighter training. During his starfighter training, he excelled in virtually every task that was given to him, earning an early entry to the Fleet. There, he served under the command of Vice Admiral Thrawn. He started out like all Imperial pilots, serving first as a [[starwars:Tie_fighter|TIE Fighter]] pilot, then moving up to the then-new [[starwars:Tie_Interceptor|TIE Interceptors]], and then finally moved on to strike craft where he found his niche. He was eventually made a bomber and attack pilot trainer, a post he held for quite some time. He was in the Outer Rim serving as such when word of the defeat at Endor finally filtered down.

=== Service to the Emperor's Hammer ===
[[File:DREAD.jpg|thumb|250px|right|DREAD ''Argonaut'' on patrol in EH space]]
Timbal at that point was bounced around various "Imperial" units for a short time until he settled down within the [[Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet]]. There he steadily rose up the ranks, finally achieving the level of a Wing Commander and obtained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He had then given up his Wing, and moved to a challenging position as a member of the elite Praetorian Squadron. He stood there for a few months, and then served as a Task Unit Commander in the now-defunct EH Naval Corps, giving him ample experience in capital ship warfare. During his stint as Task Unit Commander, he commanded his small escort fleet from the bridge of the ''[[starwars:Dreadnaught-class_heavy_cruiser|Dreadnaught]]''-class ''Argonaut''. It was here where he acquired extensive capital ship combat experience, which later served him extremely well.

His service to the Naval Corps ended when it was decommissioned, which forced the young pilot to choose a place to go to. Yearning for a chance to finally command a powerful [[starwars:Imperial_I-class_Star_Destroyer|Imperial-Class Star Destroyer]], he joined up with the ISD ''Intrepid'', serving as a fighter pilot for a short time.

=== Initial entry with the Brotherhood ===
It was during this time that Timbal found out that he was Force-sensitive. Unsure of what to do, he joined the Dark Brotherhood after checking them out. Oddly enough, he started out in [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]], but that would be short-lived since at the time joining the Clan, he found that it was effectively dead. With no one to help, he started to seek a Clan and a House that were very active, and eventually found a Clan called [[Scholae Palatinae]]. After a transfer request, he soon found himself in the company of many great Jedi, some of them eventually becoming life-long friends, such as [[Saitou]], [[Cuchulain]], [[Mike Halcyon]], Rhaub, [[Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine|Phoenix d'Tana]], and many others. Happy at last to find a great group to be with, he settled in to work.

=== Career Change ===
Back at the EH, however, he was growing more and more aware that he would never earn his own command since command positions rarely opened up, and even then they were usually filled by people that had political connections.

Anxious to not spend an eternity on proving himself over and over again without result, Timbal retired from the TIE Corps and started a new career within the Intelligence Division of the EH. This was based on his good experiences with them from a stint when he had served in Praetorian Squadron. His early work there is still classified, but he apparently succeeded. He went up the ladder relatively quickly due to assignments that were expertly completed, and after a bit he emerged as a public ID member and in command of a Bureau. Then, he was selected to become the next Tactics and Training Director, part of the ID Ubiqtorate. During that time his steady guidance ensured the proper training of many an Intelligence agent.

Eventually, he decided to take a break, and went on a leave of absence from the ID. It was during this time that he met a fellow Clan mate, Alisande Sayeesa. This was during the time of his first tour of duty within Drynwyn's Flame, the elite Battle Team of [[Acclivis Draco]] of CSP. His Tetrarch was Ms. Sayeesa, and they completed many assignments. During these missions they worked really well, and were responsible for many of DFs' successful assignments despite long odds. Eventually, due to their mutual trust and respect, she amusingly revealed her true identity of Kerridwen Jorddyn, a high-ranking ID officer. In fact, she was Timbal's predecessor as the Tactics and Training Director. A whirlwind romance then commenced shortly thereafter, culminating in a marriage attended by the majority of the Clan.

Once settled down, he was called upon to serve the ID again, this time as Special Projects Coordinator. There, he spent time trying to better the ID and generally have some fun. After a short time, he earned the rank of Rear Admiral and served in his position with distinction. It was during this time that was generally was called "The Golden Age" of HAD, and in particular the young couple also had their own golden age. They had a happy year and a half, during which time a son was born to them, [[Joshua Timbal]].

=== The Dark Days ===
After a short time, Timbal had taken upon his first Student, [[Anga Salinas]], at the suggestion of his wife. Since she was very gifted Jedi, Timbal made the mistake of not paying too much attention to the problems that were affecting his Student. His focus at the time was with his Intelligence work, and he was confident that he was doing what he could to safeguard all whom he cared for.

Of course, this was not to be. After various serious clashes with the Executive Officer of the Emperor's Hammer, Anga's plight proved to be the breaking point for many. This culminated in the direct events of the EH/DB split. For Timbal, this decision came out of nowhere, and he was forced into a decision that would profoundly affect him. For once, he was forced to choose which path he would take. He could not bring himself to go with the "rebel" Brotherhood, but at the same time he could not ignore the events that happened to his Student. Furthermore, the situation caused a huge rift between himself and his wife, whom at the time was the Supreme Director of the Intelligence Division. His marriage did not survive this event. Not knowing if the rebel Brotherhood was just a simple grab for power, or it was a true attempt at reform, he decided that he needed to know what the truth was for himself. He also knew that there was truth in their reasoning, and couldn't in good conscious continue to serve the corrupt EH. He resigned all positions, and prepared for the biggest and most crucial role of his life.

=== McKell is born ===
From his work within the Intelligence Division as well as his advanced knowledge of the Force provided a possible solution. He could not join the Brotherhood as himself, since that would cause adverse reaction back at the EH, so he decided to undergo a radical change to go undercover. With the assistance with high-ranking sympathetic Jedi, he had a Force-block placed on his memory, as well as had extensive surgery done to hide his physical characteristics. Once he was healed, he was sedated and dumped with no memory on a planet that was known to have Brotherhood agents around. He was found by them, and joined the "Rebel" Brotherhood under a new name, which was Jordan McKell. He was an amnesiac that woke up from a coma, so he had to start from scratch, including re-learning his Force powers. During this time, he re-joined his Clan, reintegrating himself within.

=== Chaos ===
The initial days and months after the split were chaotic ones. Chains of command were broken, families were ripped apart, and brothers became enemies. The Clan itself constantly had a series of ineffectual leaders, and it was feared that the Clan would die from the chaos. The Clan was on the verge of total collapse, and it seemed that only the efforts of the House Acclivis Draco, with their dogged adherence to tradition and honor, kept them afloat. The Clan only gained stability when long-retired leaders such as Cuchulain stepped in to close the gaps. During this time, McKell stayed quiet, just learning as much as he could, and making a name for himself.

=== Turning Points ===
The true turning point for the Clan and for McKell was during the first Independence Games. The Clan had finally gained stable leadership after almost a year of turmoil, and acquitted themselves extremely well against the other Clans. This helped to forge a new identity with the Clan, and for McKell, his work was honored. He swiftly rose through the ranks. He had re-reached the rank of Jedi Hunter, and was about to re-do his Trials for Knighthood when a package sent to him by his real self reached him. It explained everything that had happened until his memory was erased. With the help of Jedi Master Arania Lawakiro, he then has had his memory, Force powers, and everything else restored. He was also reunited with his son, who was under the care of his close brother, Saitou. Due to his experiences, he knew that the so-called rebel Brotherhood was where he really wanted to be. Thus, he prospered.

=== True Leadership ===
Living through the events of the Split, Timbal knew that he needed to do something that would keep the Clan united, to have a common point of reference that could be a focal point for rallying the Clan. This caused him to become a huge proponent of saving every bit of history that the Clan went through, and it is now his life-long goal to retain this history for all to see. During this time, Timbal came to his own, helping out in various leadership positions, and generally trying to help the Clan recover. Much of this was not done while officially serving in any position, and he showed that leadership was independent of what position you held. This was eventually paid back when he was chosen to serve as [[Consul]] of the Clan.

Timbal's main philosophies while serving as Consul included the following:

* Selfless sacrifice for the good of the Clan
* The focus upon SERVING the Clan, instead of being served by it
* Motivating by leading from the front
* Communication and delegation
* Prompt and heartfelt recognition
* A sense of humor, flexibility, and common sense
These values served him well during his reign, and the Clan prospered. Eventually, he was forced to step down, as the calling of the Force upon his personal life was too strong to ignore anymore.

Interestingly enough, during this time he was also re-married for an extremely short time. It was mainly due to a vast amount of alcohol that he had consumed with a Brotherhood friend one night, and the next day he found himself married to her, Morrigan Jarel Lilienkamp Fey. Although the effects of the alcohol had worn off fairly soon, they both had quite the fun time pretending to be newlyweds. Of course, Timbal wasn't officially divorced from his first wife as yet, which technically made him a polygamist and gave them grounds for an annulment. They've remained close friends since then.

It was also during this time that he was presented with another son, [[Mark Timbal]]. This development further cemented his removal from general Clan business, until he was forced to leave the Clan for a while because of it.

=== The Return ===
Now that some time has passed and the calling of the Force is now passing on to others, Timbal was now free to re-join his beloved Clan. He started to work in the shadows, helping once again to make his Clan a better place for all.

Unfortunately, during his time away the Clan had changed. He had felt that it was no longer the place that he knew; indeed, many were people he had never met or dealt with, people who were unaware of his contributions or worse, people that did not care. Disagreements with many finally convinced him to move along. For a short time he found refuge within [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]], but restlessness once again took hold, and he decided to once again find his own path in the Force. Finally, his sense of loss, loneliness, and longing brought him back to the Clan of his hearts' desire. Mending broken fences, he settled back in.

Little did he know that almost literally the next day disaster awaited.

=== The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster ===
Literally right after dumping his bags back into the HAD quarters that he had been assigned, his old friend and then-Quaestor of HAD [[RevengeX Palpatine]] invited him on board the Clan flagship ''[[Excidium]]'' for a celebration following a Rite of Supremacy that had just concluded. After jumping to the [[Antei]] system, and right after the ceremonies were concluded, an entire war fleet of Yuuzhan Vong suddenly appeared. The furious assault left millions dead, and Timbal did the best he could on the bridge of the ''Excidium'', helping to direct the defense of the ship and the Clan fleet. The final space battle in the [[Cocytus System]] was led by Timbal, accounting for the revenge strike against the hated Arconan ships that destroyed a Clan ship.

=== Operation: Reclamation and Timbal's Nine ===
After the events of the [[Yuuzhan Vong Incursion]], Timbal was supervising the piecing together of the Clans' destroyed shipyards when the call by then-Proconsul Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine came to him. Reporting in, he got word of a special operations mission that Timbal was now responsible for. Taking a few of the best members that the Clan could offer, he departed to [[starwars:Mon_Calamari_(planet)|Mon Calamari]] to steal a capital starship that was readying completion. After a few adventures and with the help of a droid, they managed to steal an almost-complete ''[[Nebula-class Star Destroyer|Nebula]]''-class Star Destroyer (Later named the ''[[Excidium II]]'') from under the nose of the New Republic. They arrived shortly after the destruction of the then-existing Clan fleet during Operation: Reclamation, in which the then-existing Clan fleet engaged and destroyed a lingering Yuuzhan Vong task force. This fight however came at the cost of the destruction of the entire Clan fleet itself. Thus, the new Star Destroyer was a welcome sight to the new Consul, Phoenix Palpatine. It was during this time that Timbal took [[Xathia]] on as his Student, working with her to develop her skills as a Knight. She was Knighted and departed the Clan shortly after these events.

=== Events After the Invasion ===
[[File:ISD_II.jpg|thumb|250px|right|ISD II ''Warspite'' on maneuvers over Antenora]]
His actions during the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion, however, did little for the Clan overall and it was a disaster in which he had felt that he had let the Clan down. However, strengthened with a new resolve to clear his honor, he has taken to helping out his Clan in any way that he can, once again preferring action over words. However, the Clan Summit had seen things differently from him, and decided to reward his dedication by naming him the Clan Fleet Admiral, as well as giving him command of the ''[[Warspite]]'', an ''[[starwars:Imperial_II-class_Star_Destroyer|Imperial II]]''-Class Star Destroyer, which itself is serving as the command ship of the Clan fleet. In addition to his command duties over the fleet and over his ship, Timbal is also currently helping to plan the new defense of the system against any other enemies, rebuilding the destroyed Clan shipyards, and the on-going training of all fleet personnel. This included the training and deployment of an entire force of [[starwars:SpecNav_Force_trooper|Special Navy Force]] troopers to help safeguard the new ships of the fleet. He was also given the responsibility of making arrangements for their transport in case of hostilities. In the meantime, he has taken on his fourth Student to train, [[Asani Vosa]].

=== Continued Arconan Treachery ===
After a short while, the reformed assets of the Clan military were ready for any threat. Interestingly enough, the first call to arms was in support of [Clan Plagueis] in their battle against remnant Yuuzhan Vong forces. While in transit to assist them, Arcona sprung a trap to eliminate the Clan Fleet, but under Timbal's command the Fleet gave far more than what they took, putting the entire Arconan fleet in jeopardy of being destroyed or captured.

After calling a truce, they decided to join forces against the Yuuzhan Vong, but again the Arconans reneged on their word of truce and attempted to trick both the Scholae and Plagueis fleets engage each other. However, the intervention of a [[Dark Council Order of Battle|Dark Council Fleet]] prevented a murderous battle that would have decimated all three Clans, and probably incited a war that would have engulfed the entire Brotherhood in flames.

=== Timbal's Final War ===
In time, the Dark Council and the Clans finally had gathered enough strength to remove the scourge of the Yuuzhan Vong from the Antei system during the events of the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]]. However, politically, not all were united.

The Consul at the time, [[Thran Occasus]], had just taken over power as the Consul of the Clan, over the muttering of many. Key amongst the opposition was the Clan Fleet Admiral, Timbal Palpatine. Timbal was not convinced that Thran was the right person to ascend to the position of Emperor in the Clan, and made it clear as such to many. Furthermore, he thought Thran was too casual with the lives of the men and women in the military, and he refused to let such casual disregard for their lives go unchallenged.

This lead to a dramatic showdown between both key members of the Clan military aboard the ''[[ISDII Indomitable|Indomitable]]'', which led to the resignation of the Fleet Admiral.

Without responsibilities, he headed back to the bastion of his House, the ''Majestic''-class Heavy Cruiser ''[[MJHC Basilisk|Basilisk]]''. He was awaiting the arrival of the Fleet at Antei, when an attempted assassination almost claimed his life.

He was out of action for several weeks, but with his bacta treatment and accelerated Force healing, he was out and itching for action. Under orders from Master Natth a'Niel Palpatine, he assisted with the battle from the cockpit of a [[starwars:D_Defender|TIE Defender]]. However, under overwhelming odds, he was shot down, and captured by enemy forces.

After his capture, he was interrogated by Light Jedi, but it was a conversation by one of them where he came to realize that he had been fighting for all the wrong reasons. He finally saw that the Clans and Brotherhood were corrupt at their core, and by serving them, he was helping that evil to spread.

He turned to the Light, and was immediately pressed into service by the Light Jedi.

The Palpatines, realizing his treachery, made it a top priority to capture the errant Jedi. They finally did, and under a short tribunal, the Clan leadership executed the Light Side Jedi.

== Profile ==

=== Appearance ===
Timbal strove to keep fit, as physical fitness had saved his life on quite a few occasions. Thus, his physique was overall muscular, but his pride and joy was the solid abdominal muscles that were extremely well defined. His straight black hair got really thick and unmanageable if he let it get too long, so he usually kept it close-cut. He's debated going bald, but he decided to wait until it became necessary. His skin tone was usually a milk-chocolate brown, unless he spent a short time in the sun. He gets dark easily, and was fairly resistant against sunburn.

For normal day-to-day wear around the Clan, he kept on one of his combat jumpsuits. He believed in constantly being ready, so he was usually loaded down with the usual combat gear on his jumpsuit: His lightsabre, his two sai, a few throwing stars, and of course a few flash-bang grenades. This precaution had proven its' value over and over again, so he didn't pay attention to those that criticized him for being too paranoid.

While relaxing in his quarters or elsewhere, he usually was found in a pair of work-out shorts and a simple T-shirt, and was usually barefoot. However, he took pains to ensure that his lightsabre was always by his side.

=== Personality ===
Timbal was usually pretty quiet, and preferred to lurk in the background. This mainly stemmed from his time in the Intelligence Division. He moved very quietly, sub-consciously muting any sound he made.

He also was quite stand-offish with new people that he met, but this was partly due to the fact that he was also somewhat shy, and partly due to the fact that he usually didn't care much about new people that he met until they have proven themselves in some way. In a similar vein, he did not make friends easy. Those that he called his friends truly have earned that honor, and Timbal was extremely loyal to those that he called his friends. This reluctance to trust, however, made it difficult for him to learn new skills in the Force.

Finally, his best trait was his odd if ever-present sense of humor. He found humor where others did not, and was always ready with a big, if wary, smile.

=== Strengths and Weaknesses ===

==== Weaknesses ====
* Slow Force learner
* Combat paranoia
* Addiction to alcohol
* Inadequate training in large-scale ground combat strategy/tactics

=== Hobbies, Penchants and Talents ===
Timbal was a fanatical reader and learner. He would prefer nothing more than reading for the rest of his life if he could get away with it, but he also enjoyed the occasional daring event, especially the learning of new martial skills.

He also liked to tinker with computers, droids, or anything mechanical.

Timbal's talents really lay in strategic thinking. In large scale capital ship combat, he knew few peers. He was also an excellent administrator, but he despised that role and avoided it if possible. He also was a fairly good pilot, but admits that there were quite a few that can out-fly him.

''Deep Ice'' is a Nebulon-B escort frigate that served in the Imperial Navy under the name ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vehemence Vehemence]'' during the Galactic Civil War. The ship was stationed in the Outer Rim during the Battle of Endor and eventually found service in the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. Following the [[Exodus]] the ''Deep Ice'' entered the service of the Dark Council. In 30 ABY the ship was given to [[Independent House Revan]] and the ship currently serves as their mobile resupply platform.

== Vessel Info ==
=== Construction ===
The ''Deep Ice'' was constructed under the name of ''Vehemence'' in 19 BBY following the conclusion of the Clone Wars. Kuat Drive Yards was awarded a contract to develop a Command Platform that could replace the aging Class-C Frigate and the EF76 design was born. The Deep Ice was constructed in obscurity alongside 20 other EF76 platforms assigned to duty in the Outer Rim Territories.

In 30 ABY [[Independent House Revan]] commissioned Roche to upgrade and customize the Deep Ice to suit Independent House Revan's unique operational approach. The ship received a black matte stealth paint job rendering the ship nearly invisible to the naked eye. The Roche also installed a transponder code package allowing the Deep Ice to broadcast multiple identities ensuring the ship could travel in relative obscurity.

=== Commander ===
Captain Pantaro; Commanding Officer, ''Deep Ice''
*Species: Human
*Home World: Coruscant
*Sex: Male
*Height: 1.85 meters
*Weight: 92 kilograms
*Eye Color: Blue
*Hair Color: Brown
*Distinguishing Feature(s): Prosthetic Right Leg

== Role ==

== Action ==
The initial years in service to the Empire was relatively uneventful, with the ship performing its' duties faithfully, usually performing escort duties with the occasional raids into enemy held worlds. The only mission that stood out from the rest was a raid done while the ''Vehemence'' was in the Eriadu system, awaiting the arrival of Grand Moff Tarkin to transport him to the under-construction Death Star. The Grand Moff was not in the shuttles that were on their way, but the rebels did manage to free his slave, the Mon Calamari Ackbar, despite fierce resistance by the TIE Interceptors from the ''Vehemence''.

After this, the ''Vehemence'' continued its' duties until after the death of the Emperor. Afterward, the ship was transferred in the service of the Emperor's Hammer and served in the fleet picket defense role. Eventually the ship settled into protecting Brotherhood assets.

Just prior to the events of the Exodus, The [[Seven]] ensured that the Brotherhood fleet had Captains and crews that were loyal to the Brotherhood, and thus the ship accompanied the rest of the Brotherhood fleet during the Exodus.

During the events of the opening of a new House in the Brotherhood, the founding members were able to pull some strings with the Dark Council and have them transfer ownership of the ''Vehemence'' to them, along with access to the Brotherhoods' shipyards for modifications.

The House leadership, upon taking possession of the ship, renamed it to ''Deep Ice'', as to avoid recognition by anyone that was familiar with the ''Vehemence''. Furthermore, with the addition of the transponder code package along with an array of identities, the ship is able to masquerade her identity at will. This, along with the black matte stealth paint, will make any attempts at identifying the ship extremely difficult.

Once modified, the House has not fit to update anyone as to the current status of the ship. All of its' movements are classified as one of the highest of secrets that they have. However, this fits the modus operandi of the House's usual way of doing business.

Jar'Kai Niman

2009-10-13T03:59:19Z

Lambow: /* DJB Adherents */ - Adding my name

Jar'Kai Niman is an esoteric form of combat using two lightsabers at once.

==Explanation==

Another uncommon form called Jar'Kai Niman is a style often taught in the Jedi Order but rarely mastered by more than a few Jedi each generation. Jar'Kai Niman teaches the use of two lightsabers simultaneously, which can be used as a pair of offensive weapons, or as an offensive weapon and a parrying blade. Many Jedi study the basics of Jar'Kai Niman, and such rudimentary training has often been the edge needed to prevail over a foe.

Mention should be given to the difference between this form of Niman and the modern version of Form VI by the same name. The modern form has its origins rooted in this version of Niman but, after obtaining widespread popularity, the form began to become customised to the particular interests of the Jedi training in it. Unlike the modern form of Niman, which was largely used by Jedi Knights during peacetime, the ancient form of Jar'Kai Niman detailed here was developed with memories of the Sith Wars in mind. "Jar'Kai" itself translates loosely to "two blades", and is used when discussing the elder Niman, for ease of discussion.

Jar'Kai Niman was mostly popular among the true swordsmen of the Jedi Order. In its heyday people like Master Kavar were renowned for their knowledge of Jar'Kai Niman and, in the last years of the Jedi Order, weapon masters such as Cin Drallig obtained fame from their proficiency with such specialist forms.

===Grip===

Held with the first two fingers loosely and the last two fingers and thumb tight to facilitate the swirling manner of the form. The hand is typically placed in the centre of the grip.

===Stance===

With the feet squared beneath the shoulders the body is turned at a slight angel from the enemy, with the dominant shoulder back, the saber held up with the arm parallel to the ground, and the elbow bent. The off hand saber is held out in front of the body, typically at an angle to help defend the adherent.

===Striking===

Almost universally using the strength of the dominant arm, Niman adherents strike forward after the off hand has typically parried away the opponent's defences, leaving the opponent open. In some cases the off hand attacks in tandem with the dominant hand, overbearing the opponent.

===Defence===

The off hand saber is typically used to block and push back an opponent's' strike, leaving a window of opportunity wide open for counter attack. Against the overhead strike it is commonly taught for the adherent to catch the blade in an 'X' block of their own sabers, locking the opponent's blade and allowing them to press down on their opponent.

==Requirements==

The study of Jar'Kai Niman requires a mastery of the fourth circle of [[Niman]] as well as a wisdom of 25 or greater.

==Jar'Kai==

The method of wielding two weapons at once carried over from more traditional swords to lightsabers and became what is now the variant style of Form VI called Niman. The term Jar'Kai is less an official definition of the form and more a nickname given to it by most historians of the Jedi Arts.

The use of two lightsabers at once is, for obvious reasons, far more difficult than the art of wielding a single blade. It requires a far greater level of dedication and commitment in order to master to avoid it being more a liability to the adherent than a benefit. However a fully trained master of Jar'Kai is able to make full use of one weapon for parrying and ripostes while the other remains fully on the attack. This technique can easily overpower most opponents only skilled in wielding a single blade.

Despite the popularity of Jar'Kai it was a technique rarely mastered by members of the Jedi Order. Most Jedi Knights received at least some training in order to cope with using two lightsabers simultaneously should the need ever arise but few went on to master the Niman form. Kavar and Cin Drallig are two known masters of Jar'Kai along with Anakin Skywalker who was a mild practitioner of the style. It was also used to some extent by Asajj Ventress, the disciple of Darth Tyrannus.

Lambow, the Mysterious Wookiee, is relatively new to the general Brotherhood membership. Trained by unknown mentors in the Force, he was requested to come assist the Brotherhood by one of the more prominent members they have, Arania Lawakiro Palpatine.

Exactly how they met and if she was his mentor in the ways of the Force are still unknown, as the Wookiee rarely talks about himself. In fact, his reluctance to say anything about the time before he started working with the Brotherhood earned him the Mysterious Wookiee moniker.

==Character History==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===

Nothing is known about Lambow's early life and childhood, except for the fact that he was born on Kashyyyk. He didn't stay there long, as it is clear he had moved about the galaxy very often.

=== Young Adult Events ===

Nothing is known, other than he successfully completed his coming-of-age Hrrtayyk ceremony.

=== Initial entry with the Brotherhood ===

Lambow quietly entered the Brotherhood scene after the events of the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] during [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|30 ABY]]. His obvious advanced knowledge of the Force earned him the rank of a Krath Epis, which someone objected to. The Wookiee immediately demanded a duel, and if the Wookiee won, he'd get to keep his rank and no one could further say anything. The challenger agreed.

The Wookiee ripped of his challenger's face off in less than thirty seconds, and tore his torso into shreds within twenty more.

No one since then has challenged the Wookiee.

== Profile ==

===Appearance===
Lambow looks like your average Wookiee, with no real distinguishing features. About the only thing out of the ordinary to the sharp observer is that the Wookiee has careful, economical movements. The Wookiee also is constantly looking about, and aware of everything that is going around him. The Wookiee is also usually heavily armed.

Oddly enough, the Wookie has had a cybernetic vocator put into his throat. This allows him to speak Basic and other similar languages, although oddly accented by the vocator.

If the vocator is shorted out by an ion pulse, he can still talk, but only his native Shyriiwook.

===Personality===

The Wookiee really hasn't socialized with many, and few can claim him as a friend. He also doesn't attend many social functions, and if he does show, he normally is quietly nursing drinks. Any attempts to talk to him are frustrated since he tends to ignore the person speaking.

===Hobbies, Penchants and Talents===

The only real talent that has been exhibited by the Wookiee is a natural talent as a mechanic, which obviously had provided him before with a living.

== DJB Facts ==
=== Positions Held ===
None as yet.

=== Outstanding Achievements ===
None that the Wookie has been willing to share with anyone.

== Trivia ==
*The "Lambow" name came about through sheer chance. It was actually created by using an online Random Star Wars name generator. The name sounded amusing, so it was chosen.
*The "Mysterious Wookie" business is mainly because this is a new character. There had to be some explanation as to where this Wookiee came from as a full-blown [[Epis]], so it was best left as a mystery to be fleshed out as the character is used more often in official DJB business.

==Vessel Info==
The ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_II-class_Star_Destroyer Imperial II]''-Class Star Destroyer, the upgrade to the hugely successful ''Imperial I''-Class, represents one of the pinnacles of warship design in the galaxy, and virtually none that have had as much of an impact. The ''Imperial II'' class is the measuring stick to which all other warships are compared to.

The ''Imperial II'' is designed to be a self-contained fleet of its' own, as well as operate effectively in larger fleet-wide roles. Often, a single ''Imperial II'' is enough to pacify a system or keep the peace, and in fact is often designated as a peacekeeping battleship. Widely deployed by first the Galactic Empire and then by the latter governments that took over, it still remains as effective as ever despite the introduction of newer warships.

==History==

===Acquisition===
The ''Warspite'', like its' sister ship ''Indomitable'', have their roots in [[Operation: Strike Back]], which was initiated by then-Consul [[Timbal]] for [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Seeing the then-Clan fleet as needing some serious firepower to help protect expanding Clan interests, Timbal initiated a crash program to fund the construction of two major warships. With the help of the then-[[Grand Master]] [[Jac Cotelin]], a front was set up that was used to order the ships from Kuat Drive Yards. Although it took a few years, the ships were finally delivered and commissioned in [[26 ABY to Present|27 ABY]], just in time to help defend the Clan home system after the destruction of the then-existing Clan fleet. In fact, for a few days, they were the only source of system defense present.

=== Service to the Palpatines ===
The ship was previously commanded by former Clan Fleet Admiral Timbal, promoted officially as such by Consul [[Phoenix Olkyssagh Palpatine]] after the events of the [[Yuuzhan Vong Incursion]] and [[Reclamation of Judecca|Operation: Reclamation]]. Timbal chose the ''Warspite'' as his command ship for several reasons, and was the day-to-day Captain of the ship. The crew also mainly is made up the surviving crew from the ''Valkyrie'', but overall the crew of the ''Warspite'' is rated at Green. The Admiral was very busy running quite a few training regimens to get the crew's experience level up.

== Deployment ==

During periods of large-scale combat, the ''Warspite'' is the Clans' command ship as well as acting as a bodyguard to the smaller but more valuable and capable ''[[Excidium II]]''. Both ships operate as a single unit, only rarely are they apart from each other. The ''Warspite'' was designated as a command ship by the Clan Leadership since they knew that the ''Excidium II'' would draw most incoming fire, and as such would be a serious liability if forced to withdraw or seriously damaged. By splitting Flagship duties from command duties, they can ensure smooth operational orders during combat. In support of that role, the ship has been somewhat upgraded to include a bit more communications and intelligence equipment compared to its' sister ship. Further upgrades are planned as funds become available.

Since the ''Warspite'' tends to spend much of its' time in escort duties, combat opportunities have been rare, making it hard for the crew to gain practical experience. One possible method that the Clan Fleet Admiral was working out was to routinely transfer crew members from both the ''Excidium II'' and the ''Warspite'' to other Clan vessels that get more operational roles to season the crew members.

Joshua J. Timbal Palpatine was a former [[Consul]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] (amongst other Clan positions), one of the few Sons of Palpatine, and was a Clan stalwart. Dedicated to the preservation of CSP's history, traditions, and customs, he had few peers that could match his long history with the Clan. Timbal was also the single authoritative source of information concerning the Clans' capital ship assets. He preferred to go by his given last name, Timbal.

==Character History==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===

Timbal was born into nobility on Alderaan, fifteen years before its' destruction. The sole heir to the family, he had retained some of his family's wealth, although quite a bit was squandered in his youth. The biggest event in his childhood was when his family was shamed and outraged when his father, a claimant to the Alderaanian throne, was denied his claim to it due to obscure legal reasons. It was instead given to the Organa family.

=== Young Adult Events ===

In order to "shape up" their wayward son, Timbal's parents pulled some strings and got him to join up with the Empire. Due to his political reliability, he was granted a slot at the prestigious Stormtrooper Academy in Carida, toiling away as a cadet to earn his commission as an Army Lieutenant. While away at the academy, he received news that Alderaan was destroyed, and his family was all on the planet when that happened. He instantly knew that the Rebels would commit any terrorist act to bring people to their cause, and thereby blamed the Rebellion for the loss of his family. The news devastated him, along with some of his fellow classmates from his home planet.

=== General Pilot Career ===

No longer interested in becoming a stormtrooper, Timbal dropped out of the academy and was subsequently found to be a promising candidate for starfighter training. During his starfighter training, he excelled in virtually every task that was given to him, earning an early entry to the Fleet. There, he served under the command of Vice Admiral Thrawn. He started out like all Imperial pilots, serving first as a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tie_fighter TIE Fighter] pilot, then moving up to the then-new [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tie_Interceptor TIE Interceptors], and then finally moved on to strike craft where he found his niche. He was eventually made a bomber and attack pilot trainer, a post he held for quite some time. He was in the Outer Rim serving as such when word of the defeat at Endor finally filtered down.

=== Service to the Emperor's Hammer ===

[[Image:DREAD.jpg|250px|right|thumb|DREAD ''Argonaut'' on patrol in EH space]]

Timbal at that point was bounced around various "Imperial" units for a short time until he settled down within the [[Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet]]. There he steadily rose up the ranks, finally achieving the level of a Wing Commander and obtained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He had then given up his Wing, and moved to a challenging position as a member of the elite Praetorian Squadron. He stood there for a few months, and then served as a Task Unit Commander in the now-defunct EH Naval Corps, giving him ample experience in capital ship warfare. During his stint as Task Unit Commander, he commanded his small escort fleet from the bridge of the ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dreadnaught-class_heavy_cruiser Dreadnaught]''-class ''Argonaut''. It was here where he acquired extensive capital ship combat experience, which later served him extremely well.

His service to the Naval Corps ended when it was decommissioned, which forced the young pilot to choose a place to go to. Yearning for a chance to finally command a powerful [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_I-class_Star_Destroyer Imperial-Class Star Destroyer], he joined up with the ISD ''Intrepid'', serving as a fighter pilot for a short time.

=== Initial entry with the Brotherhood ===

It was during this time that Timbal found out that he was Force-sensitive. Unsure of what to do, he joined the Dark Brotherhood after checking them out. Oddly enough, he started out in [[Clan Arcona]], but that would be short-lived since at the time joining the Clan, he found that it was effectively dead. With no one to help, he started to seek a Clan and a House that were very active, and eventually found a Clan called [[Scholae Palatinae]]. After a transfer request, he soon found himself in the company of many great Jedi, some of them eventually becoming life-long friends, such as [[Saitou]], [[Cuchulain]], [[Mike Halcyon]], Rhaub, [[Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine|Phoenix d'Tana]], and many others. Happy at last to find a great group to be with, he settled in to work.

=== Career Change ===

Back at the EH, however, he was growing more and more aware that he would never earn his own command since command positions rarely opened up, and even then they were usually filled by people that had political connections.

Anxious to not spend an eternity on proving himself over and over again without result, Timbal retired from the TIE Corps and started a new career within the Intelligence Division of the EH. This was based on his good experiences with them from a stint when he had served in Praetorian Squadron. His early work there is still classified, but he apparently succeeded. He went up the ladder relatively quickly due to assignments that were expertly completed, and after a bit he emerged as a public ID member and in command of a Bureau. Then, he was selected to become the next Tactics and Training Director, part of the ID Ubiqtorate. During that time his steady guidance ensured the proper training of many an Intelligence agent.

Eventually, he decided to take a break, and went on a leave of absence from the ID. It was during this time that he met a fellow Clan mate, Alisande Sayeesa. This was during the time of his first tour of duty within [[Drynwyn's Flame]], the elite Battle Team of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of CSP. His Tetrarch was Ms. Sayeesa, and they completed many assignments. During these missions they worked really well, and were responsible for many of DFs' successful assignments despite long odds. Eventually, due to their mutual trust and respect, she amusingly revealed her true identity of Kerridwen Jorddyn, a high-ranking ID officer. In fact, she was Timbal's predecessor as the Tactics and Training Director. A whirlwind romance then commenced shortly thereafter, culminating in a marriage attended by the majority of the Clan.

Once settled down, he was called upon to serve the ID again, this time as Special Projects Coordinator. There, he spent time trying to better the ID and generally have some fun. After a short time, he earned the rank of Rear Admiral and served in his position with distinction. It was during this time that was generally was called "The Golden Age" of HAD, and in particular the young couple also had their own golden age. They had a happy year and a half, during which time a son was born to them, [[Joshua Timbal]].

=== The Dark Days ===

After a short time, Timbal had taken upon his first Student, [[Anga Salinas]], at the suggestion of his wife. Since she was very gifted Jedi, Timbal made the mistake of not paying too much attention to the problems that were affecting his Student. His focus at the time was with his Intelligence work, and he was confident that he was doing what he could to safeguard all whom he cared for.

Of course, this was not to be. After various serious clashes with the Executive Officer of the Emperor's Hammer, Anga's plight proved to be the breaking point for many. This culminated in the direct events of the EH/DB split. For Timbal, this decision came out of nowhere, and he was forced into a decision that would profoundly affect him. For once, he was forced to choose which path he would take. He could not bring himself to go with the "rebel" Brotherhood, but at the same time he could not ignore the events that happened to his Student. Furthermore, the situation caused a huge rift between himself and his wife, whom at the time was the Supreme Director of the Intelligence Division. His marriage did not survive this event. Not knowing if the rebel Brotherhood was just a simple grab for power, or it was a true attempt at reform, he decided that he needed to know what the truth was for himself. He also knew that there was truth in their reasoning, and couldn't in good conscious continue to serve the corrupt EH. He resigned all positions, and prepared for the biggest and most crucial role of his life.

=== McKell is born ===

From his work within the Intelligence Division as well as his advanced knowledge of the Force provided a possible solution. He could not join the Brotherhood as himself, since that would cause adverse reaction back at the EH, so he decided to undergo a radical change to go undercover. With the assistance with high-ranking sympathetic Jedi, he had a Force-block placed on his memory, as well as had extensive surgery done to hide his physical characteristics. Once he was healed, he was sedated and dumped with no memory on a planet that was known to have Brotherhood agents around. He was found by them, and joined the "Rebel" Brotherhood under a new name, which was Jordan McKell. He was an amnesiac that woke up from a coma, so he had to start from scratch, including re-learning his Force powers. During this time, he re-joined his Clan, reintegrating himself within.

=== Chaos ===

The initial days and months after the split were chaotic ones. Chains of command were broken, families were ripped apart, and brothers became enemies. The Clan itself constantly had a series of ineffectual leaders, and it was feared that the Clan would die from the chaos. The Clan was on the verge of total collapse, and it seemed that only the efforts of the House Acclivis Draco, with their dogged adherence to tradition and honor, kept them afloat. The Clan only gained stability when long-retired leaders such as Cuchulain stepped in to close the gaps. During this time, McKell stayed quiet, just learning as much as he could, and making a name for himself.

=== Turning Points ===

The true turning point for the Clan and for McKell was during the first Independence Games. The Clan had finally gained stable leadership after almost a year of turmoil, and acquitted themselves extremely well against the other Clans. This helped to forge a new identity with the Clan, and for McKell, his work was honored. He swiftly rose through the ranks. He had re-reached the rank of Jedi Hunter, and was about to re-do his Trials for Knighthood when a package sent to him by his real self reached him. It explained everything that had happened until his memory was erased. With the help of Jedi Master Arania Lawakiro, he then has had his memory, Force powers, and everything else restored. He was also reunited with his son, who was under the care of his close brother, Saitou. Due to his experiences, he knew that the so-called rebel Brotherhood was where he really wanted to be. Thus, he prospered.

=== True Leadership ===

Living through the events of the Split, Timbal knew that he needed to do something that would keep the Clan united, to have a common point of reference that could be a focal point for rallying the Clan. This caused him to become a huge proponent of saving every bit of history that the Clan went through, and it is now his life-long goal to retain this history for all to see. During this time, Timbal came to his own, helping out in various leadership positions, and generally trying to help the Clan recover. Much of this was not done while officially serving in any position, and he showed that leadership was independent of what position you held. This was eventually paid back when he was chosen to serve as [[Consul]] of the Clan.

Timbal's main philosophies while serving as Consul included the following:
* Selfless sacrifice for the good of the Clan
* The focus upon SERVING the Clan, instead of being served by it
* Motivating by leading from the front
* Communication and delegation
* Prompt and heartfelt recognition
* A sense of humor, flexibility, and common sense

These values served him well during his reign, and the Clan prospered. Eventually, he was forced to step down, as the calling of the Force upon his personal life was too strong to ignore anymore.

Interestingly enough, during this time he was also re-married for an extremely short time. It was mainly due to a vast amount of alcohol that he had consumed with a Brotherhood friend one night, and the next day he found himself married to her, Morrigan Jarel Lilienkamp Fey. Although the effects of the alcohol had worn off fairly soon, they both had quite the fun time pretending to be newlyweds. Of course, Timbal wasn't officially divorced from his first wife as yet, which technically made him a polygamist and gave them grounds for an annulment. They've remained close friends since then.

It was also during this time that he was presented with another son, [[Mark Timbal]]. This development further cemented his removal from general Clan business, until he was forced to leave the Clan for a while because of it.

=== The Return ===

Now that some time has passed and the calling of the Force is now passing on to others, Timbal was now free to re-join his beloved Clan. He started to work in the shadows, helping once again to make his Clan a better place for all.

Unfortunately, during his time away the Clan had changed. He had felt that it was no longer the place that he knew; indeed, many were people he had never met or dealt with, people who were unaware of his contributions or worse, people that did not care. Disagreements with many finally convinced him to move along. For a short time he found refuge within [[Clan Tarentum]], but restlessness once again took hold, and he decided to once again find his own path in the Force. Finally, his sense of loss, loneliness, and longing brought him back to the Clan of his hearts' desire. Mending broken fences, he settled back in.

Little did he know that almost literally the next day disaster awaited.

=== The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster ===

Literally right after dumping his bags back into the HAD quarters that he had been assigned, his old friend and then-Quaestor of HAD [[RevengeX Palpatine]] invited him on board the Clan flagship ''[[Excidium]]'' for a celebration following a Rite of Supremacy that had just concluded. After jumping to the [[Antei]] system, and right after the ceremonies were concluded, an entire war fleet of Yuuzhan Vong suddenly appeared. The furious assault left millions dead, and Timbal did the best he could on the bridge of the ''Excidium'', helping to direct the defense of the ship and the Clan fleet. The final space battle in the [[Cocytus System]] was led by Timbal, accounting for the revenge strike against the hated Arconan ships that destroyed a Clan ship.

=== Operation: Reclamation and Timbal's Nine ===

After the events of the [[Yuuzhan Vong Incursion]], Timbal was supervising the piecing together of the Clans' destroyed shipyards when the call by then-Proconsul Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine came to him. Reporting in, he got word of a special operations mission that Timbal was now responsible for. Taking a few of the best members that the Clan could offer, he departed to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mon_Calamari_%28planet%29 Mon Calamari] to steal a capital starship that was readying completion. After a few adventures and with the help of a droid, they managed to steal an almost-complete ''[[Nebula-class Star Destroyer|Nebula]]''-class Star Destroyer (Later named the ''[[Excidium II]]'') from under the nose of the New Republic. They arrived shortly after the destruction of the then-existing Clan fleet during Operation: Reclamation, in which the then-existing Clan fleet engaged and destroyed a lingering Yuuzhan Vong task force. This fight however came at the cost of the destruction of the entire Clan fleet itself. Thus, the new Star Destroyer was a welcome sight to the new Consul, Phoenix Palpatine. It was during this time that Timbal took [[Xathia]] on as his Student, working with her to develop her skills as a Knight. She was Knighted and departed the Clan shortly after these events.

=== Events After the Invasion ===

[[Image:ISD_II.jpg|250px|right|thumb|ISD II ''Warspite'' on maneuvers over Antenora]]

His actions during the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion, however, did little for the Clan overall and it was a disaster in which he had felt that he had let the Clan down. However, strengthened with a new resolve to clear his honor, he has taken to helping out his Clan in any way that he can, once again preferring action over words. However, the Clan Summit had seen things differently from him, and decided to reward his dedication by naming him the Clan Fleet Admiral, as well as giving him command of the ''[[Warspite]]'', an ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_II-class_Star_Destroyer Imperial II]''-Class Star Destroyer, which itself is serving as the command ship of the Clan fleet. In addition to his command duties over the fleet and over his ship, Timbal is also currently helping to plan the new defense of the system against any other enemies, rebuilding the destroyed Clan shipyards, and the on-going training of all fleet personnel. This included the training and deployment of an entire force of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/SpecNav_Force_trooper Special Navy Force] troopers to help safeguard the new ships of the fleet. He was also given the responsibility of making arrangements for their transport in case of hostilities. In the meantime, he has taken on his fourth Student to train, [[Asani Vosa]].

=== Continued Arconan Treachery ===

After a short while, the reformed assets of the Clan military were ready for any threat. Interestingly enough, the first call to arms was in support of [Clan Plagueis] in their battle against remnant Yuuzhan Vong forces. While in transit to assist them, Arcona sprung a trap to eliminate the Clan Fleet, but under Timbal's command the Fleet gave far more than what they took, putting the entire Arconan fleet in jeopardy of being destroyed or captured.

After calling a truce, they decided to join forces against the Yuuzhan Vong, but again the Arconans reneged on their word of truce and attempted to trick both the Scholae and Plagueis fleets engage each other. However, the intervention of a [[Dark Council Order of Battle|Dark Council Fleet]] prevented a murderous battle that would have decimated all three Clans, and probably incited a war that would have engulfed the entire Brotherhood in flames.

=== Timbal's Final War ===

In time, the Dark Council and the Clans finally had gathered enough strength to remove the scourge of the Yuuzhan Vong from the Antei system during the events of the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]]. However, politically, not all were united.

The Consul at the time, [[Thran Occasus]], had just taken over power as the Consul of the Clan, over the muttering of many. Key amongst the opposition was the Clan Fleet Admiral, Timbal Palpatine. Timbal was not convinced that Thran was the right person to ascend to the position of Emperor in the Clan, and made it clear as such to many. Furthermore, he thought Thran was too casual with the lives of the men and women in the military, and he refused to let such casual disregard for their lives go unchallenged.

This lead to a dramatic showdown between both key members of the Clan military aboard the ''[[ISDII Indomitable|Indomitable]]'', which led to the resignation of the Fleet Admiral.

Without responsibilities, he headed back to the bastion of his House, the ''Majestic''-class Heavy Cruiser ''[[MJHC Basilisk|Basilisk]]''. He was awaiting the arrival of the Fleet at Antei, when an attempted assassination almost claimed his life.

He was out of action for several weeks, but with his bacta treatment and accelerated Force healing, he was out and itching for action. Under orders from Master Natth a'Niel Palpatine, he assisted with the battle from the cockpit of a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE/D_Defender TIE Defender]. However, under overwhelming odds, he was shot down, and captured by enemy forces.

After his capture, he was interrogated by Light Jedi, but it was a conversation by one of them where he came to realize that he had been fighting for all the wrong reasons. He finally saw that the Clans and Brotherhood were corrupt at their core, and by serving them, he was helping that evil to spread.

He turned to the Light, and was immediately pressed into service by the Light Jedi.

The Palpatines, realizing his treachery, made it a top priority to capture the errant Jedi. They finally did, and under a short tribunal, the Clan leadership executed the Light Side Jedi.

== Profile ==

===Appearance===

Timbal strove to keep fit, as physical fitness had saved his life on quite a few occasions. Thus, his physique was overall muscular, but his pride and joy was the solid abdominal muscles that were extremely well defined. His straight black hair got really thick and unmanageable if he let it get too long, so he usually kept it close-cut. He's debated going bald, but he decided to wait until it became necessary. His skin tone was usually a milk-chocolate brown, unless he spent a short time in the sun. He gets dark easily, and was fairly resistant against sunburn.

For normal day-to-day wear around the Clan, he kept on one of his combat jumpsuits. He believed in constantly being ready, so he was usually loaded down with the usual combat gear on his jumpsuit: His lightsabre, his two sai, a few throwing stars, and of course a few flash-bang grenades. This precaution had proven its' value over and over again, so he didn't pay attention to those that criticized him for being too paranoid.

While relaxing in his quarters or elsewhere, he usually was found in a pair of work-out shorts and a simple T-shirt, and was usually barefoot. However, he took pains to ensure that his lightsabre was always by his side.

===Personality===

Timbal was usually pretty quiet, and preferred to lurk in the background. This mainly stemmed from his time in the Intelligence Division. He moved very quietly, sub-consciously muting any sound he made.

He also was quite stand-offish with new people that he met, but this was partly due to the fact that he was also somewhat shy, and partly due to the fact that he usually didn't care much about new people that he met until they have proven themselves in some way. In a similar vein, he did not make friends easy. Those that he called his friends truly have earned that honor, and Timbal was extremely loyal to those that he called his friends. This reluctance to trust, however, made it difficult for him to learn new skills in the Force.

Finally, his best trait was his odd if ever-present sense of humor. He found humor where others did not, and was always ready with a big, if wary, smile.

===Strengths and Weaknesses===

====Weaknesses====

===Hobbies, Penchants and Talents===

Timbal was a fanatical reader and learner. He would prefer nothing more than reading for the rest of his life if he could get away with it, but he also enjoyed the occasional daring event, especially the learning of new martial skills.

He also liked to tinker with computers, droids, or anything mechanical.

Timbal's talents really lay in strategic thinking. In large scale capital ship combat, he knew few peers. He was also an excellent administrator, but he despised that role and avoided it if possible. He also was a fairly good pilot, but admits that there were quite a few that can out-fly him.

Joshua J. Timbal Palpatine is a former [[Consul]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] (amongst other Clan positions), one of the few Sons of Palpatine, and a Clan stalwart. Dedicated to the preservation of CSP's history, traditions, and customs, he has few peers that can match his long history with the Clan. Timbal also is the single authoritative source of information concerning the Clans' capital ship assets. He prefers to go by his given last name, Timbal.

==Character History==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===

Timbal was born into nobility on Alderaan, fifteen years before its' destruction. The sole heir to the family, he has retained some of his family's wealth, although quite a bit was squandered in his youth. The biggest event in his childhood was when his family was shamed and outraged when his father, a claimant to the Alderaanian throne, was denied his claim to it due to obscure legal reasons. It was instead given to the Organa family.

=== Young Adult Events ===

In order to "shape up" their wayward son, Timbal's parents pulled some strings and got him to join up with the Empire. Due to his political reliability, he was granted a slot at the prestigious Stormtrooper Academy in Carida, toiling away as a cadet to earn his commission as an Army Lieutenant. While away at the academy, he received news that Alderaan was destroyed, and his family was all on the planet when that happened. He instantly knew that the Rebels would commit any terrorist act to bring people to their cause, and thereby blamed the Rebellion for the loss of his family. The news devastated him, along with some of his fellow classmates from his home planet.

=== General Pilot Career ===

No longer interested in becoming a stormtrooper, Timbal dropped out of the academy and was subsequently found to be a promising candidate for starfighter training. During his starfighter training, he excelled in virtually every task that was given to him, earning an early entry to the Fleet. There, he served under the command of Vice Admiral Thrawn. He started out like all Imperial pilots, serving first as a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tie_fighter TIE Fighter] pilot, then moving up to the then-new [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tie_Interceptor TIE Interceptors], and then finally moved on to strike craft where he found his niche. He was eventually made a bomber and attack pilot trainer, a post he held for quite some time. He was in the Outer Rim serving as such when word of the defeat at Endor finally filtered down.

=== Service to the Emperor's Hammer ===

[[Image:DREAD.jpg|250px|right|thumb|DREAD ''Argonaut'' on patrol in EH space]]

Timbal at that point was bounced around various "Imperial" units for a short time until he settled down within the [[Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet]]. There he steadily rose up the ranks, finally achieving the level of a Wing Commander and obtained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He had then given up his Wing, and moved to a challenging position as a member of the elite Praetorian Squadron. He stood there for a few months, and then served as a Task Unit Commander in the now-defunct EH Naval Corps, giving him ample experience in capital ship warfare. During his stint as Task Unit Commander, he commanded his small escort fleet from the bridge of the ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dreadnaught-class_heavy_cruiser Dreadnaught]''-class ''Argonaut''. It was here where he acquired extensive capital ship combat experience, which later served him extremely well.

His service to the Naval Corps ended when it was decommissioned, which forced the young pilot to choose a place to go to. Yearning for a chance to finally command a powerful [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_I-class_Star_Destroyer Imperial-Class Star Destroyer], he joined up with the ISD ''Intrepid'', serving as a fighter pilot for a short time.

=== Initial entry with the Brotherhood ===

It was during this time that Timbal found out that he was Force-sensitive. Unsure of what to do, he joined the Dark Brotherhood after checking them out. Oddly enough, he started out in [[Clan Arcona]], but that would be short-lived since at the time joining the Clan, he found that it was effectively dead. With no one to help, he started to seek a Clan and a House that were very active, and eventually found a Clan called [[Scholae Palatinae]]. After a transfer request, he soon found himself in the company of many great Jedi, some of them eventually becoming life-long friends, such as [[Saitou]], [[Cuchulain]], [[Mike Halcyon]], Rhaub, [[Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine|Phoenix d'Tana]], and many others. Happy at last to find a great group to be with, he settled in to work.

=== Career Change ===

Back at the EH, however, he was growing more and more aware that he would never earn his own command since command positions rarely opened up, and even then they were usually filled by people that had political connections.

Anxious to not spend an eternity on proving himself over and over again without result, Timbal retired from the TIE Corps and started a new career within the Intelligence Division of the EH. This was based on his good experiences with them from a stint when he had served in Praetorian Squadron. His early work there is still classified, but he apparently succeeded. He went up the ladder relatively quickly due to assignments that were expertly completed, and after a bit he emerged as a public ID member and in command of a Bureau. Then, he was selected to become the next Tactics and Training Director, part of the ID Ubiqtorate. During that time his steady guidance ensured the proper training of many an Intelligence agent.

Eventually, he decided to take a break, and went on a leave of absence from the ID. It was during this time that he met a fellow Clan mate, Alisande Sayeesa. This was during the time of his first tour of duty within [[Drynwyn's Flame]], the elite Battle Team of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of CSP. His Tetrarch was Ms. Sayeesa, and they completed many assignments. During these missions they worked really well, and were responsible for many of DFs' successful assignments despite long odds. Eventually, due to their mutual trust and respect, she amusingly revealed her true identity of Kerridwen Jorddyn, a high-ranking ID officer. In fact, she was Timbal's predecessor as the Tactics and Training Director. A whirlwind romance then commenced shortly thereafter, culminating in a marriage attended by the majority of the Clan.

Once settled down, he was called upon to serve the ID again, this time as Special Projects Coordinator. There, he spent time trying to better the ID and generally have some fun. After a short time, he earned the rank of Rear Admiral and served in his position with distinction. It was during this time that was generally was called "The Golden Age" of HAD, and in particular the young couple also had their own golden age. They had a happy year and a half, during which time a son was born to them, [[Joshua Timbal]].

=== The Dark Days ===

After a short time, Timbal had taken upon his first Student, [[Anga Salinas]], at the suggestion of his wife. Since she was very gifted Jedi, Timbal made the mistake of not paying too much attention to the problems that were affecting his Student. His focus at the time was with his Intelligence work, and he was confident that he was doing what he could to safeguard all whom he cared for.

Of course, this was not to be. After various serious clashes with the Executive Officer of the Emperor's Hammer, Anga's plight proved to be the breaking point for many. This culminated in the direct events of the EH/DB split. For Timbal, this decision came out of nowhere, and he was forced into a decision that would profoundly affect him. For once, he was forced to choose which path he would take. He could not bring himself to go with the "rebel" Brotherhood, but at the same time he could not ignore the events that happened to his Student. Furthermore, the situation caused a huge rift between himself and his wife, whom at the time was the Supreme Director of the Intelligence Division. His marriage did not survive this event. Not knowing if the rebel Brotherhood was just a simple grab for power, or it was a true attempt at reform, he decided that he needed to know what the truth was for himself. He also knew that there was truth in their reasoning, and couldn't in good conscious continue to serve the corrupt EH. He resigned all positions, and prepared for the biggest and most crucial role of his life.

=== McKell is born ===

From his work within the Intelligence Division as well as his advanced knowledge of the Force provided a possible solution. He could not join the Brotherhood as himself, since that would cause adverse reaction back at the EH, so he decided to undergo a radical change to go undercover. With the assistance with high-ranking sympathetic Jedi, he had a Force-block placed on his memory, as well as had extensive surgery done to hide his physical characteristics. Once he was healed, he was sedated and dumped with no memory on a planet that was known to have Brotherhood agents around. He was found by them, and joined the "Rebel" Brotherhood under a new name, which was Jordan McKell. He was an amnesiac that woke up from a coma, so he had to start from scratch, including re-learning his Force powers. During this time, he re-joined his Clan, reintegrating himself within.

=== Chaos ===

The initial days and months after the split were chaotic ones. Chains of command were broken, families were ripped apart, and brothers became enemies. The Clan itself constantly had a series of ineffectual leaders, and it was feared that the Clan would die from the chaos. The Clan was on the verge of total collapse, and it seemed that only the efforts of the House Acclivis Draco, with their dogged adherence to tradition and honor, kept them afloat. The Clan only gained stability when long-retired leaders such as Cuchulain stepped in to close the gaps. During this time, McKell stayed quiet, just learning as much as he could, and making a name for himself.

=== Turning Points ===

The true turning point for the Clan and for McKell was during the first Independence Games. The Clan had finally gained stable leadership after almost a year of turmoil, and acquitted themselves extremely well against the other Clans. This helped to forge a new identity with the Clan, and for McKell, his work was honored. He swiftly rose through the ranks. He had re-reached the rank of Jedi Hunter, and was about to re-do his Trials for Knighthood when a package sent to him by his real self reached him. It explained everything that had happened until his memory was erased. With the help of Jedi Master Arania Lawakiro, he then has had his memory, Force powers, and everything else restored. He was also reunited with his son, who was under the care of his close brother, Saitou. Due to his experiences, he knew that the so-called rebel Brotherhood was where he really wanted to be. Thus, he prospered.

=== True Leadership ===

Living through the events of the Split, Timbal knew that he needed to do something that would keep the Clan united, to have a common point of reference that could be a focal point for rallying the Clan. This caused him to become a huge proponent of saving every bit of history that the Clan went through, and it is now his life-long goal to retain this history for all to see. During this time, Timbal came to his own, helping out in various leadership positions, and generally trying to help the Clan recover. Much of this was not done while officially serving in any position, and he showed that leadership was independent of what position you held. This was eventually paid back when he was chosen to serve as [[Consul]] of the Clan.

Timbal's main philosophies while serving as Consul included the following:
* Selfless sacrifice for the good of the Clan
* The focus upon SERVING the Clan, instead of being served by it
* Motivating by leading from the front
* Communication and delegation
* Prompt and heartfelt recognition
* A sense of humor, flexibility, and common sense

These values served him well during his reign, and the Clan prospered. Eventually, he was forced to step down, as the calling of the Force upon his personal life was too strong to ignore anymore.

Interestingly enough, during this time he was also re-married for an extremely short time. It was mainly due to a vast amount of alcohol that he had consumed with a Brotherhood friend one night, and the next day he found himself married to her, Morrigan Jarel Lilienkamp Fey. Although the effects of the alcohol had worn off fairly soon, they both had quite the fun time pretending to be newlyweds. Of course, Timbal wasn't officially divorced from his first wife as yet, which technically made him a polygamist and gave them grounds for an annulment. They've remained close friends since then.

It was also during this time that he was presented with another son, [[Mark Timbal]]. This development further cemented his removal from general Clan business, until he was forced to leave the Clan for a while because of it.

=== The Return ===

Now that some time has passed and the calling of the Force is now passing on to others, Timbal was now free to re-join his beloved Clan. He started to work in the shadows, helping once again to make his Clan a better place for all.

Unfortunately, during his time away the Clan had changed. He had felt that it was no longer the place that he knew; indeed, many were people he had never met or dealt with, people who were unaware of his contributions or worse, people that did not care. Disagreements with many finally convinced him to move along. For a short time he found refuge within [[Clan Tarentum]], but restlessness once again took hold, and he decided to once again find his own path in the Force. Finally, his sense of loss, loneliness, and longing brought him back to the Clan of his hearts' desire. Mending broken fences, he settled back in.

Little did he know that almost literally the next day disaster awaited.

=== The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster ===

Literally right after dumping his bags back into the HAD quarters that he had been assigned, his old friend and then-Quaestor of HAD [[RevengeX Palpatine]] invited him on board the Clan flagship ''[[Excidium]]'' for a celebration following a Rite of Supremacy that had just concluded. After jumping to the [[Antei]] system, and right after the ceremonies were concluded, an entire war fleet of Yuuzhan Vong suddenly appeared. The furious assault left millions dead, and Timbal did the best he could on the bridge of the ''Excidium'', helping to direct the defense of the ship and the Clan fleet. The final space battle in the [[Cocytus System]] was led by Timbal, accounting for the revenge strike against the hated Arconan ships that destroyed a Clan ship.

=== Operation: Reclamation and Timbal's Nine ===

After the events of the [[Yuuzhan Vong Incursion]], Timbal was supervising the piecing together of the Clans' destroyed shipyards when the call by then-Proconsul Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine came to him. Reporting in, he got word of a special operations mission that Timbal was now responsible for. Taking a few of the best members that the Clan could offer, he departed to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mon_Calamari_%28planet%29 Mon Calamari] to steal a capital starship that was readying completion. After a few adventures and with the help of a droid, they managed to steal an almost-complete ''[[Nebula-class Star Destroyer|Nebula]]''-class Star Destroyer (Later named the ''[[Excidium II]]'') from under the nose of the New Republic. They arrived shortly after the destruction of the then-existing Clan fleet during Operation: Reclamation, in which the then-existing Clan fleet engaged and destroyed a lingering Yuuzhan Vong task force. This fight however came at the cost of the destruction of the entire Clan fleet itself. Thus, the new Star Destroyer was a welcome sight to the new Consul, Phoenix Palpatine. It was during this time that Timbal took [[Xathia]] on as his Student, working with her to develop her skills as a Knight. She was Knighted and departed the Clan shortly after these events.

=== Events After the Invasion ===

[[Image:ISD_II.jpg|250px|right|thumb|ISD II ''Warspite'' on maneuvers over Antenora]]

His actions during the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion, however, did little for the Clan overall and it was a disaster in which he had felt that he had let the Clan down. However, strengthened with a new resolve to clear his honor, he has taken to helping out his Clan in any way that he can, once again preferring action over words. However, the Clan Summit had seen things differently from him, and decided to reward his dedication by naming him the Clan Fleet Admiral, as well as giving him command of the ''[[Warspite]]'', an ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_II-class_Star_Destroyer Imperial II]''-Class Star Destroyer, which itself is serving as the command ship of the Clan fleet. In addition to his command duties over the fleet and over his ship, Timbal is also currently helping to plan the new defense of the system against any other enemies, rebuilding the destroyed Clan shipyards, and the on-going training of all fleet personnel. This included the training and deployment of an entire force of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/SpecNav_Force_trooper Special Navy Force] troopers to help safeguard the new ships of the fleet. He was also given the responsibility of making arrangements for their transport in case of hostilities. In the meantime, he has taken on his fourth Student to train, [[Asani Vosa]].

=== Continued Arconan Treachery ===

[[Image:Timbal_Inspects_the_Troops.jpg|250px|left|thumb|Timbal inspecting the troops aboard the ISD II ''Warspite''.]]
After a short while, the reformed assets of the Clan military were ready for any threat. Interestingly enough, the first call to arms was in support of [Clan Plagueis] in their battle against remnant Yuuzhan Vong forces. While in transit to assist them, Arcona sprung a trap to eliminate the Clan Fleet, but under Timbal's command the Fleet gave far more than what they took, putting the entire Arconan fleet in jeopardy of being destroyed or captured.

After calling a truce, they decided to join forces against the Yuuzhan Vong, but again the Arconans reneged on their word of truce and attempted to trick both the Scholae and Plagueis fleets engage each other. However, the intervention of a [[Dark Council Order of Battle|Dark Council Fleet]] prevented a murderous battle that would have decimated all three Clans, and probably incited a war that would have engulfed the entire Brotherhood in flames.

== Profile ==

===Appearance===

Timbal strives to keep fit, as physical fitness has saved his life on quite a few occasions. Thus, his physique is overall muscular, but his pride and joy is the solid abdominal muscles that are extremely well defined. His straight black hair gets really thick and unmanageable if he lets it get too long, so he usually keeps it close-cut. He's debated going bald, but he decided to wait until it became necessary. His skin tone is usually a milk-chocolate brown, unless he spends a short time in the sun. He gets darker easily, and is fairly resistant against sunburn.

For normal day-to-day wear around the Clan, he keeps on one of his combat jumpsuits. He believes in constantly being ready, so he's usually loaded down with the usual combat gear on his jumpsuit: His lightsabre, his two sai, a few throwing stars, and of course a few flash-bang grenades. This precaution has proven its' value over and over again, so he doesn't pay attention to those that criticize him for being too paranoid.

While relaxing in his quarters or elsewhere, he's usually in a pair of work-out shorts and a simple T-shirt, and usually barefoot. However, he takes pains to ensure that his lightsabre is always by his side.

===Personality===

Timbal is usually pretty quiet, and prefers to lurk in the background. This mainly stems from his time in the Intelligence Division. He moves very quietly, sub-consciously muting any sound he makes.

He also is quite stand-offish with new people that he meets, but this is partly due to the fact that he is somewhat shy, and partly due to the fact that he usually doesn't care much about new people that he meets until they have proven themselves in some way. In a similar vein, he does not make friends easy. Those that he calls his friends truly have earned that honor, and Timbal is extremely loyal to those that he calls his friends. This reluctance to trust, however, makes it difficult for him to learn new skills in the Force.

Finally, his best trait is his odd if ever-present sense of humor. He finds humor where others do not, and is always ready with a big, if wary, smile.

===Strengths and Weaknesses===

====Strengths====

*Extremely fast learner

*Large amounts of self-confidence

*Strong willpower

*Extensive combat experience

*An "Idea Guy"

*Ready to adapt if necessary

*Great pilot

====Weaknesses====

*Slow Force learner

*Combat paranoia

*Addiction to alcohol

*Inadequate training in large-scale ground combat strategy/tactics

*Shy

*Slow to trust

===Hobbies, Penchants and Talents===

Timbal is a fanatical reader and learner. He would prefer nothing more than reading for the rest of his life if he could get away with it, but he also enjoys the occasional daring event, especially the learning of new martial skills.

He also likes to tinker with computers, droids, or anything mechanical.

Timbal's talents really lay in strategic thinking. In large scale capital ship combat, he knows few peers. He is also an excellent administrator, but he despises that role and avoids it if possible. He also is a fairly good pilot, but admits that there are quite a few that can out-fly him.

===Notable Possessions===

[[Image:Timbal_and_Charlene.jpg|250px|Right|thumb|Timbal and his T/I, ''Charlene'']]
====''[[Charlene]]''====
{{On Notice}}
Timbal had acquired ''Charlene'', a TIE Interceptor, only relatively recently during his time as Consul. However, it has seen extensive upgrades, and cost him a lot of time and money to get done. However, it is kept in pristine condition, and is only rarely used. Exhaustive security measures ensure that only Timbal can pilot her.

''This is about the real life person behind '''''[[Timbal Palpatine]]'''.

== Biography ==
I was born in Dallas, Texas, USA to Ecuadorian immigrants. I have a two younger brothers. I have lived in Dallas (obviously), summers in the Maryland/DC area, Lawton, OK when I was stationed at Ft. Sill in the Army, but mostly lived in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and two years in Brooklyn, NY. Currently I live in the suburbs of Orlando, FL.

I first encountered Star Wars when my mother took me to go see TESB. I don't remember much about the plot or anything, but I did remember being awed by the graphics, the aliens, but mostly the ships. Later on I also saw RotJ when that first came out, but then SW faded from my memory until I caught the Thrawn Trilogy when it was first released. Since then, I've been a rabid fanatic of SW, and I hesitate to think that I've spent thousands of dollars over the years on all sorts of SW-related stuff. Currently I have a heck of a lot of the Expanded Universe books, but I kinda lost interest when the Yuuzhan Vong came into the picture. Also, I don't really follow any of the prequel books. I only have so much money, George Lucas! =D

I joined the DJB I'd say in about 1999, but my official record shows me sometime after the Exodus, due to various reasons. I think I'll be part of the DJB until I die. =)

= 3rd Antenora Regiment =

==History==

Compared to other regiments within the Clan Scholae Palatinae military, the 3rd Antenora Regiment was formed from at the same time as the [[2nd Antenora Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|2nd Antenora Regiment]], and thus is considered a relatively new Regiment. Unlike the built-from-scratch 2nd Antenora Regiment, the 3rd was built on the remnants of the old [[17th Legion: 1st Special Ops]], part of the old Praetorian Regiment. The 17th has had a distinguished combat history, and the lessons learned obviously held the Regiment in good stead during their own combat operations.

===The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster===

The Regiment was busy training up their new trainees on [[Judecca]] when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the [[Cocytus System]]. Realizing that the invasion must be taking place on the other planets of the system, half of the Legion was left on Judecca to help defend it (Alpha and Bravo Companies), while the other two companies, Charlie and Delta, moved off-planet to help defend [[Antenora]] and [[Caina]], respectively. After a stealthy arrival on Antenora, most of Charlie Company met up with hastily called-up militia, where the elite troopers spent a short amount of time giving the militia hasty training in the finer points of the art of war. The troopers of the 17th were spread out amongst the rest of the militia, and made for movement to contact. Taking on an abbreviated guerrilla campaign, the new unit used hit and run tactics to great effect on scattered Yuuzhan Vong forces. This had the effect of limiting their casualties while allowing the troopers to gain experience fighting the Yuuzhan Vong. There was one particular ambush by the Yuuzhan Vong that cost almost an entire company, but they were routed after hasty reinforcements were dispatched.

Eventually, they got back in contact with the remnants of the other two regiments based on Antenora, and coordinated with the 2nd Antenora Regiment to engage one of two remaining Yuuzhan Vong forces in the area. Since the 2nd Regiment had sustained heavy casualties, the 3rd took point, with the 2nd providing backup and flank security until the Yuuzhan Vong were pushed off the planet.

===Operation: Reclamation===

The Yuuzhan Vong still threatened other planets in the system, however. Since the 2nd had been seriously mauled during the assault on Antenora, the 3rd stayed behind along with the 2nd to ensure that Antenora remained clear of any enemy forces. However, several elements of Charlie Company from the 17th Legion participated in a special operation to grab various capital ships for the Clan, netting them thee ‘’Majestic’’-class heavy cruisers along with one ‘’Nebula’’-class Star Destroyer. At the end of this operation, it was decided that the militia and the 17th be officially joined together as one regiment, retiring the designation of the 17th Legion: 1st Special Ops, but maintaining the unit heritage.

===Battle of Jusadih===

The Regiment did not participate in the actions on [[Jusadih]], since the 2nd Regiment was still rebuilding and the 3rd found itself the primary caretakers of Antenora. However, several individuals participated with the [[Kraken Regiment]] on a volunteer basis, forming a platoon of troops that helped secure several small but vital objectives for the Regiment.

==Training==

As a mainly defensive regiment, the 3rd Regiment currently is attempting to train their troopers with defensive tactics in mind, often using terrain and maneuverability to their advantage. The Regiment is also using the remaining survivors of the 17th to act as a cadre to the rest of the Regiment, learning critical lessons that should hold them well in any future conflict. As with the rebuilding 2nd, the 3rd is training new troops to their standard to bring the Regiment up to full strength. Along with the new troops, they are also starting to get shipments of state-of-the art equipment and weapons to increase their combat power.

==Command==

Like the 2nd Antenora Regiment, the 3rd reports directly to the [[Quaestor]] of [[House Acclivis Draco]]. The Quaestor deploys the Regiment as they see fit, and is usually deployed around key areas of direct interest to House Acclivis Draco, including the House Headquarters Facility. The Regiment is also making great use of a network of outposts around the Headquarters Facility, manning all of the with full troop and equipment compliments for the first time since they were constructed. The Regiment has planned for these outposts to be virtual fortresses in case of another invasion.

In addition, most of the Regiments' heavy armor is also held with the 50th to add additional punch. The Legion is also tasked with one final duty. In the event of an overrun of the planet, they are to execute a scorched earth policy to deny the enemy anything of value that might be left behind.

The entire Legion is Special Operations Capable, with several companies dedicated fully to Special Operations missions. The 52nd is unique amongst the Legions in the Regiment in that it is considered available to be called upon any offensive action the Clan may take at any time, as their official chain of command is dual-based with the House and Clan militaries.

Furthermore, with the close ties that Quaestor [[Timbal Palpatine]] has with the Fleet and the SpecNav troops, the 52nd is especially accustomed to working with them, augmenting their forces, as well as being comfortable with Navy special operations missions. The SpecNavs and the 52nd often cross-train, adding yet another deadly unit to the rosters of the House and Clan.

= 2nd Antenora Regiment =

==History==

Compared to other regiments within the Clan Scholae Palatinae military, the 2nd Antenora Regiment is relatively new. Despite that, the new Regiment has performed well, tested in the crucible of combat against the Yuuzhan Vong.

===The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster===

The Regiment was still running unit integration exercises when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the [[Cocytus System]]. After some initial confusion, the Legions of the Regiment quickly regrouped, although at the expense of losing well over an entire company of troops within the 46th Legion as they bought time for the rest of the Regiment to re-deploy. The heavy 47th Legion fixed the Yuuzhan Vong in place while the 48th Legion used their superior mobility to strike the main enemy formation from the flank, despite their antiquated equipment. However, the battle was largely a stalemate until the 45th, using ancient LAAT/i’s, used an air assault maneuver to drop right on top of the Yuuzhan Vong command structure. This action decimated the 45th, but the confusion amongst the enemy ranks allowed the other Legions enough time to push through, destroying the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong force that were facing them and fighting their way to relieve the rest of the 45th.

Once in command of the field of battle, they got back in contact with the remnants of the other two regiments based on Antenora, and coordinated with the [[3rd Antenora Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|3rd Antenora Regiment]] to engage one of two remaining Yuuzhan Vong forces in the area. Since the 3rd Regiment had sustained extremely light casualties, they took point, with the 2nd providing backup and flank security until the Yuuzhan Vong were pushed off the planet.

===Operation: Reclamation===

The Yuuzhan Vong still threatened other planets in the system, however. Since the 2nd had been seriously mauled during the assault on Antenora, they stayed behind along with the 3rd to ensure that Antenora remained clear of any enemy forces.

==Training==

As a defensive regiment with a secondary offensive strikes role, the 2nd Regiment tries to balance out both combat assignments. With terrain playing a critical role for the [[Kraken Regiment]] in their fight against the Yuuzhan Vong, the 2nd is spending a lot of time surveying the planet for defensible points they can use in defensive operations. With such heavy casualties, especially amongst the 45th Legion, the Regiment is in the process of training up tons of new recruits to standard. Along with the new troops, they are starting to get shipments of state-of-the art equipment and weapons to increase their combat power. The Regiment also is the host of the main ground force training battalions, where they are responsible for the training of all ground forces going to the other two regiments stationed on Antenora.

==Command==

Unlike the Kraken Regiment, the 2nd Antenora Regiment reports directly to the [[Quaestor]] of [[House Acclivis Draco]]. The Quaestor deploys the Regiment as they see fit, and is usually deployed around key civilian and industrial areas. There is always a ready battalion, which duty is rotated amongst all of the Legions in the Regiment. This ready battalion is able to deploy anywhere within four hours on planet, and able to join up with any task force within the same time frame for any mission outside the system.

They also specialize in riot duty, enemy populace suppression, and urban warfare. The ground forces training facility is also run by the 45th. The 45th is currently stationed on Antenora. In times of declared war, the Legion serves as the primary security force to the Regiment, provide reconnaissance data via heavy long-range patrols, and the rapid assault or capture of enemy outposts.

The 46th is currently stationed on Antenora, with many detachments always assigned to other Legions in varying support roles. In peacetime, the Legion is probably the busiest in the entire Regiment, as many of their support units can effectively ply their trade in peacetime as well in many civilian applications.

==History==

The Kraken Regiment has its' roots in the Regiment formally known as the [[Acclivis Draco Defense Regiment]]. As such, it has officially taken on their unit lineage as their own, adding their own honorable actions to the battle streamers already won.

===Sixth Great Jedi War===

The original Legions of the Regiment were officially activated by the Emperor [[Dakari]] during the events of the [[Sixth Great Jedi War]]. The move meant to help counter the Clan's sudden spiral into the sixth, and final, placing amongst the Clans. With the-then Grand Marshall [[Braecen Kaeth]]'s assistance, Dakari was able to organize his military force into a fast moving, easy to deploy unit that helped the ailing Clan surge from oblivion into an honorable fourth overall finish.

In the events of the war, the soldiers of the 507th (Bahamut) Legion were a crucial element in the defense of the Red Faction's stand at the unmarked outpost of Scholae Palatinae in the far reaches of the [[Cocytus System]]. The 507th Legion was primarily responsible for the designated firing zone 'Whiskey' or FZ011. Tasked with engaging the vaunted forces of [[Clan Taldryan]], they succeeded in holding the allied forces defense line and thwarting the enemy forces. By grasping an elusive victory for Scholae Palatinae, they allowed the Royal Clan to secure their position in their battle from Taldryan.

At the conclusion of the war the troopers were then assigned to the Kraken Regiment, previously known as the Acclivis Draco Defense Regiment, and assigned to answer specifically to the Grand Marshal. As such, they are directly under the command of the Clan and no longer answerable to [[House Acclivis Draco]], forming one of the line Regiments of the Clan.

===The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster===

The Regiment was largely surprised by the sudden and very rapid Yuuzhan Vong assault on [[Antenora]]. Although they bravely tried to execute a set piece battle against them, they were simply overwhelmed by the sheer ferocity of the attack. They finally realized that they would not win a conventional battle, and the Regiment finally withdrew to the Heimdall Mountain Range on the Li Gandor Continent. There, it fought a brutal battle, where it often came down to savage hand-to-hand battle with the Yuuzhan Vong invaders. They were able to push back the Yuuzhan Vong, and with reinforcements they were able to mount an offensive campaign that crushed the remaining Yuuzhan Vong forces on Antenora.

===Operation: Reclamation===

With the removal of Emperor Bracen Kaeth, the new Emperor [[Phoenix Olkyssagh Palpatine]] declared his intention of driving out the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong from the rest of the system. Borrowing elements from the 42nd, 43rd, and the largely decimated 44th Legions, they helped to create a secure drop zone on Caina that allowed other Clan forces to take the fight back to the Yuuzhan Vong. Elements of the 41st were also moved to [[Judecca]], where they assualted and removed all Yuuzhan Vong threats from the Temple of Rakata, storehouse of many priceless artifacts belonging to House Acclivis Draco. Once these combat actions were complete, they returned to Antenora to rebuild.

===Battle of Jusadih===

An after-action review by the leaders of the Clan military was done once the Yuuzhan Vong were eliminated, and the Clan military leaders realized that by under-equipping the military with older gear, some of it dating back to the Clone Wars, they were only setting themselves up for failure. Along with the acquisition of a brand new and modern fleet, the Army of Scholae were similarly brought back up with state-of-the art weapons and equipment. Training replacements for casualties was well underway when Emperor Phoenix Palpatine received a request for help from the deposed Emperor Bracen Kaeth. He had somehow managed to take the reigns of power of [[Clan Plagueis]], and their Clan needed military assistance to help overthrow the Yuuzhan Vong that were still in control of their home in the [[Jusadih System]]. Emperor Phoenix Palpatine agreed, and the Regiment was mobilized.

Upon arrival to the Jusadih System, they were met by a Yuuzhan Vong force. The transports of the Regiment fought their way down to Kapsina, where they helped to encircle and destroy all remaining Yuuzhan Vong forces on the planet. After a few tense moments facing the forces of Clan Plagueis, they boarded up their transports and departed.

==Training==

As a line regiment, Kraken is expected to be one of the first of regiments to go into any offensive action. As such, they practice deployment procedures, assault techniques, and campaign logistics planning. The two main Legions, the 43rd and 44th, are both in constant training to perform any forced entry missions, the 43rd especially. The 41st extensively trains with vertical assault operations, including drops from orbit to make pinpoint landings on their targets.

=Legions of the Kraken Regiment=

=== 41st Infantry Legion ===

As such, the bulk of the Regiment's anti-air, artillery, combat engineering, psychological warfare, and other support units are stationed with the 42nd. The 42nd is currently stationed on Antenora, with many detachments always assigned to other Legions in varying support roles. In peacetime, the Legion is probably the busiest in the entire Regiment, as many of their support units can effectively ply their trade in peacetime as well in many civilian applications. In times of declared war, the Legion serves to support the other Legions as best they can.

Order of the Dragon

The '''Order of the Dragon''' is the personal honor guard of the [[House Acclivis Draco]] [[Quaestor]].

== History ==
War had passed [[Scholae Palatinae]]. Both houses of the Clan were weakened by a Civil War, after which no winner emerged. For years, [[House Acclivis Draco|Acclivis Draco]] was the dominant [[House]], yet the equilibrium brought by [[Impetus]] and her treacherous [[House Caliburnus]] showed that the House was growing, and [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]]’s desertion of Acclivis Draco to Caliburnus looked to shift the balance in their direction.

Yet all was not lost for Acclivis Draco. The artefact Caliburnus had made contact with Impetus, calling her to locate it. Only the True [[Quaestor]] of Caliburnus could retrieve the lightsaber from its resting place. The whole house left on an expedition to locate the weapon, in which [[Thran Occasus]] left Impetus, and searched for the blade himself with Rasilvenaira. It seemed Caliburnus had betrayed Impetus, and chose Thran Occasus as the Quaestor, despite her leadership of the house for over a year. Feeling unsafe in Caliburnus, she fled back to Acclivis Draco.

From Acclivis Draco’s view, Rasilvenaira, the new Caliburnus [[Aedile]] had betrayed them through desertion. Thran Occasus had betrayed his Quaestor by working against her. It was clear enough to [[RevengeX Palpatine]] that Caliburnus was not a force to be taken lightly. As manipulative as the average Krath, with the Power of the Sith, action had to be taken to prevent the pair from overwhelming Acclivis Draco.

A new defence force was needed. A defence unique to Acclivis Draco, to keep Caliburnus at bay. An Order of Champions would be assembled, built up slowly, as a primary defence against their partner house. First, he would need the first member of the Order of the Dragon. The perfect candidate was obvious. The Quaestor of Caliburnus not a month past, the one who made the house such a threat in the first place. [[Krath Priest|Krath Priestess]] Impetus was the first Fang of the Order, entitled the Fang of Prophecy.

A month passed, and there was no hostile activity from Caliburnus. To join Impetus in the Order was the Fang of Power, Jedi Hunter Gavan, a skilled pilot. It seemed the defence against Caliburnus was a waste of time, and the Order would serve no real purpose, until the Fang of Prophecy lived up to her name, and claimed that there would be no new attack from Caliburnus for a long time. Also in her claim, she foresaw multiple [[Clan]] conflicts, and long periods of War for Acclivis Draco. True to her words, a feud between Scholae Palatinae and [[Clan Arcona|Arcona]] soon erupted, Acclivis Draco and Caliburnus combined to fight on the same side, the Order of the Dragon giving the new task of defending their house from other Clans.

The Clan Feud against Arcona was one sided, the Scholae Palatinae forces overrun by their Rival Clan, but managed to hold [[Judecca]] against the clear victors. On [[Antenora]], however, efforts from the Order of the Dragon rendered any attack on the Acclivis Draco homeworld impotent, impeccable planning kept Arcona well away from conquering the Planet. After the success against Arcona, the task of external defence became the primary focus of the Order.

== The Details ==
=== Initiation and Expulsion ===
Each month, the Quaestor will name their induction into the vaunted Order of the Dragon. Generally, this is the most active, dedicated member for that time period. After this, the named member will be inducted into the Order of the Dragon and offered an invitation into the House’s Elite [[Battle Team]].

Once an individual accepts the invitation, they will be awarded an honorific title of Fang. However, regardless of the member joining the Battle Team, they shall be awarded the title “Order of the Dragon: Third Class.” This latter title will be maintained at all times throughout one’s career unless a member finds themselves worthy of removal, or expulsion, from the Order.

There are several reasons that justify the expulsion of a member. A member whom is AWOL (Absent With Out Leave), retirement from the Battle Team, a complete term of service or, in extreme cases, sets a standard opposite of Clan and House Values.

An Order Member and/or Fang may lose their status if the member is given a Letter of Reprimand by the Chamber of Justice, or has shown disreputable behavior across the Dark Brotherhood’s communication mediums (e-mail, IRC, etc.).

=== Tier System ===
Upon induction into the vaunted elite of House Acclivis Draco, an individual is awarded the prestige of “Order of the Dragon: Third Class.” This is the primary, beginning rank of all elected individuals whom have taken strides to strengthen the House - be it through activity or completion of significant projects.

However, elevation within the Order is attainable in the form of two additional classes: Second and First Class. These titles are reserved only for current individuals belonging to the Order and must be approved by a trio of individuals: Quaestor, [[Proconsul]], and [[Consul]].

No one can detail the tasks required for further advancement, but it is assumed that longevity of service and the ability to act on superior’s orders can factor heavily into such elevation. Additionally, a member whom proves themselves as a Champion of the Clan in times of Brotherhood Vendetta may be eligible for advancement, as well.

==== Dragon Seraphim ====
{{HADBattleTeams}}
[[Image:Dragon Seraphim Logo.gif|left|175px|thumb|Dragon Seraphim Logo by [[Laurus]]]]
The ''Dragon Seraphim'' is the name given to the group of the twelve newest Order members and is at the very bottom of the system of echelons.

While the Order of the Dragon is a purely fictional roster, the Dragon Seraphim was an official unit of Acclivis Draco, once functioning as the House’s only Battleteam. Conveniently, there are twelve available spots in a battleteam, and twelve months in a year. Anyone inducted into the Order will be placed in the Dragon Seraphim, and the oldest member of the team will be removed, but will unofficially remain in the Order.

=== Responsibilities ===
The First task of the Order is as Advisers to the [[House Summit]]. If the Acclivis Draco leadership need extra feedback or ideas in a project that will affect the entire house, the Order will be the first ones for them to go to. In this role, the Order plays a key role in the running of the house, as in many projects taking place, they will be consulted on many occasions.

Secondly, the initiation process of the Order allows anyone to get in through a good month of activity. The constant prospect of induction to the Order will entice people to push themselves harder, really make an effort in important times to be known as one of Acclivis Draco’s elite. In turn, this will make for a much more active Acclivis Draco outside of the Order.

The combination of the two responsibilities will allow the Order to play a very active role in the running of the house, and the very existence of it will encourage activity in those outside, thus making Acclivis Draco a much stronger force in DB-wide events.

==Dragon Support==
The Dragon Support is the name given to the squad of NPCs that accompany the Dark Jedi of the Order of the Dragon.

At this time, there are two members of the Dragon Support: Nero, and Meggon Vohkou.

; Ararin Korin : A Twi'lek-Human hybrid, who was the spouse of ex-Order member Impetus Korin Palpatine, Ararin was the longest serving Dragon Support member, until he followed Impetus to Caliburnus. Despite his superior marksmanship, his fake, modest personality and undying loyalty to Impetus were seen as a vexatious hindrance to the House by most others. He was killed by slavers following his wife in a martyrish mission to [[Siordan'a]].

; Nero : A middle-aged Mon Calamari that is renowned for his piloting skills, Nero joined the Dragon Support after being captured by Scholae Palatinae when he made a daring escape from Imperial imprisonment. Nero is very skeptical, but his concentration is fierce in the heat of battle, and his sense of loyalty is radiant towards those who gave him a second chance - House Acclivis Draco.

; Meggon Vohokou : A female Human married to Yeldarb Vohokou, she was born and raised on Coruscant. Although short for most humans - standing at a mere 5 foot 2 inches - and despite her seemingly innocent appearance, her abilities with slicing and explosives is invaluable to the Order.

Master-Apprentice Program (MAP)

2008-10-14T15:58:56Z

Lambow: Updating to reflect new DJB policy.

The '''Master-Student Program''', the system originated in [[House Acclivis Draco]] under the guidance of [[Michael Halcyon]], [[Quaestor]] of the House at the time, was used throughout the Brotherhood as the primary way of training [[Journeymen]]. This system was made obsolete by the introduction of a unified [[Promotion Requirements]].

Below is a list of the rules as were first envisaged and agreed by the creators. These were written when Order-specific Houses were the norm, and references are made as such. This document remains in place for historical reasons.

== The First Draft ==

'''Rules for the Master/Student program'''
--------------------------------------

'''1) Rank Division'''

All Masters will be of the rank of Dark Jedi Knight or above. By the same token, all Students will be the rank of Jedi Hunter or below. The purpose of the Master/Student pairings is for junior Dark Jedi to receive assistance from the senior members of the Clan. The final goal is for the Students to attain DJK and their lightsabers, thus the division.

'''2) Length of Service'''

A Master/Student pairing is absolute and is not to be broken until the Student achieves DJK. However, a pairing can be terminated if either of the two Dark Jedi go AWOL or certain extreme circumstance arise (to be reviewed by the House/Clan summit). The reason for this is to show how important the mentorship program is and to keep Masters from ditching Students when another member comes along. Students and Masters alike should give serious thought before selecting their partner, as it may last up to a year or possibly longer.

'''3) Initiating a Master/Student pairing'''

The Master/Student partnership is formed by either the prospective Master or Student. The Master isn't required to ask the Student first, nor is the Student required to ask first. When the Student or Master finds someone they think they can work with comfortably, then they should ask their partner via email, mIRC, or by other means. If the other member accepts, the Master should contact the House and Clan summit VIA EMAIL.

'''4) Number of students allowable'''

''Always two there are... a Master and an Apprentice...''

This is taken directly from the Star Wars universe.
We adhere to this rule not only for that sake, but for the sake of the Master and Student. Each Master will be allowed only one Student, unless given special permission from the Clan Summit. This is so that each student will get the full attention of their Master.
It is also to keep Masters from overloading themselves or neglecting one Student while favoring another.

'''5) Multiple Students'''

Multiple Students will be a rare phenomenon. A Master can only take an additional student if that student is in another Order within the Clan. Hence a Master can have at maximum three students at a time, but that would be an extreme case. A Master may take a cross-Order Student only if he has sufficient knowledge and ability to train in the Student's Order. Hence, to take a Obelisk or Sith Student, the Master would be required to have at least one of the gaming platforms that the student has. Preferably the newest and most advanced. To take a Krath Student, the Master must have some skill in the ways of writing Stories/Poetry/Run-ons/etc. Also, at some time in their career the Master must have been part of the Order they wish to train in (within reason). Whenever a Master feels he is capable of handling another student, his request will be handled on a case-by-case evaluation by the Clan summit.

'''6) Awards for Masters'''

The benefits for Students is obvious and great. But many Masters may wonder "Do I gain anything from this experience?" The answer is yes. You will gain prestige in your house and will be viewed on a higher level by your summit (House and Clan). However, if you have done an exemplary job, you may be in line for a reward. Rewards will be on a case-by-case evaluation by the Clan summit, but the likely reward would be a Star of Eos or a Steel Cross. The award will be bestowed upon the graduation of your Student.

---------------------------------------------------

These rules were written in conjuction by Obelisk Battlelord [[Michael Halcyon]], Consul Cuchulain Darkblade, and ProConsul Saitou of Clan Scholae Palatinae.
May 28, 2002

== Official DB Guidelines ==

Following on from the very sucessful implimentation of the MSP across CSP, and interest from other Clans, the HM asked that a guidance document be put together detailing the whole of the Programme for wider use. Again, these are from a time where being part of an Order had true meaning on the individual roles each member had to play within the DJB.

'''MSP for dummies!'''
Written by Cuchulain Darkblade on 23rd July 2003

When Kaiann asked me to write this document, I did not intend it to turn into a history lesson! I have however found it easier to write when talking about the changes and developments that happened during the creation of the Master/Student Program. I hope that you find it useful.

The MSP was devised roughly two years ago in House Acclivis Draco by Mike Halcyon, and has since been taken up first by the whole of Clan Scholae Palatinae, and then was then adapted by all Clan’s for their own use. Soon after the Shadow Academy released it’s own guidelines for official use across the whole of the Brotherhood. This document is to give more of an insight as to the original plans for the MSP from one of the people who had a hand in creating it. Please note that these notes and the guidelines found in the Shadow Academy website (http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/index.html) are only to act as a guide. It has always been seen as something that is completely adaptable to the needs of the Master and Student, and can therefore be counted as a constant work-in-progress due to changes made by individual partnerships, as they learn how to work off and for one another.

The purpose of the MSP is two-fold:

•To provide junior (experience wise, not age wise) DB members with the guidance of someone who has been in a longer time,

•And to help that junior member reach the rank of DJK as soon as possible, according to how much time they can devote to DB affairs.

Masters must realise that even though in the RPGing environment they are in charge, their primary function when they take a Student is that they as Master must do the majority of the serving. A Master is there for the good and benefit of the Student, just as any level of leader is there for the good and benefit of the general member ‘under their control’. It was not created for senior Dark Jedi to become teachers and junior Dark Jedi to sit there and gawp at them in wonder of their skills. It was created as a means to encourage activity, and as an easier way to keep check on the progress of the junior Dark Jedi. If a Quaestor had a House evenly divided between those who are DJK and above and those who are Jedi Hunter and below, then he can easily keep a closer eye on exactly what all members of the House are doing if they are all part of partnerships.

The main purpose, aside from the textbook answers above, is for fun and a closer Clan community. Apart from the Master learning or honing their leadership skills in taking a Student, the pair should also grow a bond. If the whole of a Clan is participating in the MSP in one form or another then it leads to a happier time for everyone, and boosts morale across the Clan.

There are rules to the MSP, but these are to be seen only as guidelines. The first set of rules that were drawn up is listed below. These are the main points where lines cannot be blurred. These are set in stone and must be adhered to.

•Master/Student Ranks: Masters must be of the rank of Dark Jedi Knight or above; Students are of the rank of Jedi Hunter or below. Masters and Students must be in the same Order and in the Clan.

•"Always two there are... a Master and an apprentice..." This says it all, a Master may only take one Student. A Student may have only one Master.

•Finishing the Program: A Master/Student pairing is absolute and will not be terminated until the student reaches Dark Jedi Knight. This is to emphasize the importance of the pairing. However, a pair may be split up if a Student or Master is forced to go Rogue or otherwise leave the Clan.

These extra rules were then drafted up as the MSP caught on and expanded outside of House Acclivis Draco and into the rest of Clan Scholae Palatinae. As other Clans and Houses took on the three main rules, they each adapted them to match what was needed for their members.

•The DJK Trials: When a Student reaches Jedi Hunter, their Master should create a set of trials for their final major rank elevation. It should be approved by the House Summit that the student is a member of. (By the Clan summit if the Master is a Quaestor or Aedile). The trials must be reasonable and achievable. Upon completion the Student must be promoted.

•Cross Order Pairing: Masters may be able to take multiple students in rare occasions. However, there are many restrictions. The Master must be proficient in both Orders that he wishes to teach in. The Student must be a member of the Clan. The Master must also obtain permission from the Clan Summit.

•Master Rewards: Though the program is geared for the junior member's benefits, it is only fitting that the Master be rewarded for his efforts and work as well. A Master's reward will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Clan Summit.

Each single M/S pairing should be different. The whole point is that you should be taking part in something that you enjoy doing, and there is no set format, apart from these rules above, that can be laid out to explain exactly how it should be run. Master’s should remember that they are there to help the Student in any way possible, and each Master should change how they plan activities depending on their Student.

It is a good idea for Master’s to ask the Students at the beginning of the pairing what they hope to get from the Master. Faster, more efficient promotion to DJK is the obvious one, but the Student may want something else. I’m terrible at JO and XWA and I have both games, so if I were a Student I’d be trying to get my Master to help me out with those.

One thing I have done with my Krath Students after asking them what they want to get out of it, is play “Lesson Tennis”. I start off by writing an opening story of how my character first addresses the Student as a Student, laying out what I expect yadda-yadda-yadda, with my character being his typical self, drinking loads, swearing and giving the student loads of meaningless tasks to carry out (that actually have a hidden meaning). The Student replies with the next lesson, trying to get my character, but concentrating more on themselves. This goes on and on throughout the rest of the M/S stuff, and by the time the Student is to be promoted to DJK they should know the Master’s character very well.

Of course, this “Lesson Tennis” does not have to remain in the classroom in the story. Should the Student wish specifically to write about something else, say a space battle, then that too is done, with the two M/S characters being the main characters in the story. This also has the added bonus of the Student being able to develop their RPG character in a way that may not have been done on such a scale before, apart from the few people who do make this a serious part of the DB career.

'''As a Master, your main aim is to make sure that your Student is enjoying what they are doing, are having fun, and to give them more of the same.'''

'''As a Student, your main aim is to make sure your Master is well aware of what you enjoy doing, and to make sure they know if you are having fun or not.'''

Joshua J. Timbal is a former [[Consul]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] (amongst other Clan positions), one of the few Sons of Palpatine, and a Clan stalwart. Dedicated to the preservation of CSP's history, traditions, and customs, he has few peers that can match his long history with the Clan. Timbal also is the single authoritative source of information concerning the Clans' capital ship assets. He prefers to go by his given last name, Timbal.

==Character History==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===

Timbal was born into nobility on Alderaan, fifteen years before its' destruction. The sole heir to the family, he has retained some of his family's wealth, although quite a bit was squandered in his youth. The biggest event in his childhood was when his family was shamed and outraged when his father, a claimant to the Alderaanian throne, was denied his claim to it due to obscure legal reasons. It was instead given to the Organa family.

=== Young Adult Events ===

In order to "shape up" their wayward son, Timbal's parents pulled some strings and got him to join up with the Empire. Due to his political reliability, he was granted a slot at the prestigious Stormtrooper Academy in Carida, toiling away as a cadet to earn his commission as an Army Lieutenant. While away at the academy, he received news that Alderaan was destroyed, and his family was all on the planet when that happened. He instantly knew that the Rebels would commit any terrorist act to bring people to their cause, and thereby blamed the Rebellion for the loss of his family. The news devastated him, along with some of his fellow classmates from his home planet.

=== General Pilot Career ===

No longer interested in becoming a stormtrooper, Timbal dropped out of the academy and was subsequently found to be a promising candidate for starfighter training. During his starfighter training, he excelled in virtually every task that was given to him, earning an early entry to the Fleet. There, he served under the command of Vice Admiral Thrawn. He started out like all Imperial pilots, serving first as a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tie_fighter TIE Fighter] pilot, then moving up to the then-new [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tie_Interceptor TIE Interceptors], and then finally moved on to strike craft where he found his niche. He was eventually made a bomber and attack pilot trainer, a post he held for quite some time. He was in the Outer Rim serving as such when word of the defeat at Endor finally filtered down.

=== Service to the Emperor's Hammer ===

[[Image:DREAD.jpg|250px|right|thumb|DREAD ''Argonaut'' on patrol in EH space]]

Timbal at that point was bounced around various "Imperial" units for a short time until he settled down within the [[Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet]]. There he steadily rose up the ranks, finally achieving the level of a Wing Commander and obtained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He had then given up his Wing, and moved to a challenging position as a member of the elite Praetorian Squadron. He stood there for a few months, and then served as a Task Unit Commander in the now-defunct EH Naval Corps, giving him ample experience in capital ship warfare. During his stint as Task Unit Commander, he commanded his small escort fleet from the bridge of the ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dreadnaught-class_heavy_cruiser Dreadnaught]''-class ''Argonaut''. It was here where he acquired extensive capital ship combat experience, which later served him extremely well.

His service to the Naval Corps ended when it was decommissioned, which forced the young pilot to choose a place to go to. Yearning for a chance to finally command a powerful [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_I-class_Star_Destroyer Imperial-Class Star Destroyer], he joined up with the ISD ''Intrepid'', serving as a fighter pilot for a short time.

=== Initial entry with the Brotherhood ===

It was during this time that Timbal found out that he was Force-sensitive. Unsure of what to do, he joined the Dark Brotherhood after checking them out. Oddly enough, he started out in [[Clan Arcona]], but that would be short-lived since at the time joining the Clan, he found that it was effectively dead. With no one to help, he started to seek a Clan and a House that were very active, and eventually found a Clan called [[Scholae Palatinae]]. After a transfer request, he soon found himself in the company of many great Jedi, some of them eventually becoming life-long friends, such as [[Saitou]], [[Cuchulain]], [[Mike Halcyon]], Rhaub, [[Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine|Phoenix d'Tana]], and many others. Happy at last to find a great group to be with, he settled in to work.

=== Career Change ===

Back at the EH, however, he was growing more and more aware that he would never earn his own command since command positions rarely opened up, and even then they were usually filled by people that had political connections.

Anxious to not spend an eternity on proving himself over and over again without result, Timbal retired from the TIE Corps and started a new career within the Intelligence Division of the EH. This was based on his good experiences with them from a stint when he had served in Praetorian Squadron. His early work there is still classified, but he apparently succeeded. He went up the ladder relatively quickly due to assignments that were expertly completed, and after a bit he emerged as a public ID member and in command of a Bureau. Then, he was selected to become the next Tactics and Training Director, part of the ID Ubiqtorate. During that time his steady guidance ensured the proper training of many an Intelligence agent.

Eventually, he decided to take a break, and went on a leave of absence from the ID. It was during this time that he met a fellow Clan mate, Alisande Sayeesa. This was during the time of his first tour of duty within [[Drynwyn's Flame]], the elite Battle Team of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of CSP. His Tetrarch was Ms. Sayeesa, and they completed many assignments. During these missions they worked really well, and were responsible for many of DFs' successful assignments despite long odds. Eventually, due to their mutual trust and respect, she amusingly revealed her true identity of Kerridwen Jorddyn, a high-ranking ID officer. In fact, she was Timbal's predecessor as the Tactics and Training Director. A whirlwind romance then commenced shortly thereafter, culminating in a marriage attended by the majority of the Clan.

Once settled down, he was called upon to serve the ID again, this time as Special Projects Coordinator. There, he spent time trying to better the ID and generally have some fun. After a short time, he earned the rank of Rear Admiral and served in his position with distinction. It was during this time that was generally was called "The Golden Age" of HAD, and in particular the young couple also had their own golden age. They had a happy year and a half, during which time a son was born to them, [[Joshua Timbal]].

=== The Dark Days ===

After a short time, Timbal had taken upon his first Student, [[Anga Salinas]], at the suggestion of his wife. Since she was very gifted Jedi, Timbal made the mistake of not paying too much attention to the problems that were affecting his Student. His focus at the time was with his Intelligence work, and he was confident that he was doing what he could to safeguard all whom he cared for.

Of course, this was not to be. After various serious clashes with the Executive Officer of the Emperor's Hammer, Anga's plight proved to be the breaking point for many. This culminated in the direct events of the EH/DB split. For Timbal, this decision came out of nowhere, and he was forced into a decision that would profoundly affect him. For once, he was forced to choose which path he would take. He could not bring himself to go with the "rebel" Brotherhood, but at the same time he could not ignore the events that happened to his Student. Furthermore, the situation caused a huge rift between himself and his wife, whom at the time was the Supreme Director of the Intelligence Division. His marriage did not survive this event. Not knowing if the rebel Brotherhood was just a simple grab for power, or it was a true attempt at reform, he decided that he needed to know what the truth was for himself. He also knew that there was truth in their reasoning, and couldn't in good conscious continue to serve the corrupt EH. He resigned all positions, and prepared for the biggest and most crucial role of his life.

=== McKell is born ===

From his work within the Intelligence Division as well as his advanced knowledge of the Force provided a possible solution. He could not join the Brotherhood as himself, since that would cause adverse reaction back at the EH, so he decided to undergo a radical change to go undercover. With the assistance with high-ranking sympathetic Jedi, he had a Force-block placed on his memory, as well as had extensive surgery done to hide his physical characteristics. Once he was healed, he was sedated and dumped with no memory on a planet that was known to have Brotherhood agents around. He was found by them, and joined the "Rebel" Brotherhood under a new name, which was Jordan McKell. He was an amnesiac that woke up from a coma, so he had to start from scratch, including re-learning his Force powers. During this time, he re-joined his Clan, reintegrating himself within.

=== Chaos ===

The initial days and months after the split were chaotic ones. Chains of command were broken, families were ripped apart, and brothers became enemies. The Clan itself constantly had a series of ineffectual leaders, and it was feared that the Clan would die from the chaos. The Clan was on the verge of total collapse, and it seemed that only the efforts of the House Acclivis Draco, with their dogged adherence to tradition and honor, kept them afloat. The Clan only gained stability when long-retired leaders such as Cuchulain stepped in to close the gaps. During this time, McKell stayed quiet, just learning as much as he could, and making a name for himself.

=== Turning Points ===

The true turning point for the Clan and for McKell was during the first Independence Games. The Clan had finally gained stable leadership after almost a year of turmoil, and acquitted themselves extremely well against the other Clans. This helped to forge a new identity with the Clan, and for McKell, his work was honored. He swiftly rose through the ranks. He had re-reached the rank of Jedi Hunter, and was about to re-do his Trials for Knighthood when a package sent to him by his real self reached him. It explained everything that had happened until his memory was erased. With the help of Jedi Master Arania Lawakiro, he then has had his memory, Force powers, and everything else restored. He was also reunited with his son, who was under the care of his close brother, Saitou. Due to his experiences, he knew that the so-called rebel Brotherhood was where he really wanted to be. Thus, he prospered.

=== True Leadership ===

Living through the events of the Split, Timbal knew that he needed to do something that would keep the Clan united, to have a common point of reference that could be a focal point for rallying the Clan. This caused him to become a huge proponent of saving every bit of history that the Clan went through, and it is now his life-long goal to retain this history for all to see. During this time, Timbal came to his own, helping out in various leadership positions, and generally trying to help the Clan recover. Much of this was not done while officially serving in any position, and he showed that leadership was independent of what position you held. This was eventually paid back when he was chosen to serve as [[Consul]] of the Clan.

Timbal's main philosophies while serving as Consul included the following:
* Selfless sacrifice for the good of the Clan
* The focus upon SERVING the Clan, instead of being served by it
* Motivating by leading from the front
* Communication and delegation
* Prompt and heartfelt recognition
* A sense of humor, flexibility, and common sense

These values served him well during his reign, and the Clan prospered. Eventually, he was forced to step down, as the calling of the Force upon his personal life was too strong to ignore anymore.

Interestingly enough, during this time he was also re-married for an extremely short time. It was mainly due to a vast amount of alcohol that he had consumed with a Brotherhood friend one night, and the next day he found himself married to her, Morrigan Jarel Lilienkamp Fey. Although the effects of the alcohol had worn off fairly soon, they both had quite the fun time pretending to be newlyweds. Of course, Timbal wasn't officially divorced from his first wife as yet, which technically made him a polygamist and gave them grounds for an annulment. They've remained close friends since then.

It was also during this time that he was presented with another son, [[Mark Timbal]]. This development further cemented his removal from general Clan business, until he was forced to leave the Clan for a while because of it.

=== The Return ===

Now that some time has passed and the calling of the Force is now passing on to others, Timbal was now free to re-join his beloved Clan. He started to work in the shadows, helping once again to make his Clan a better place for all.

Unfortunately, during his time away the Clan had changed. He had felt that it was no longer the place that he knew; indeed, many were people he had never met or dealt with, people who were unaware of his contributions or worse, people that did not care. Disagreements with many finally convinced him to move along. For a short time he found refuge within [[Clan Tarentum]], but restlessness once again took hold, and he decided to once again find his own path in the Force. Finally, his sense of loss, loneliness, and longing brought him back to the Clan of his hearts' desire. Mending broken fences, he settled back in.

Little did he know that almost literally the next day disaster awaited.

=== The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster ===

Literally right after dumping his bags back into the HAD quarters that he had been assigned, his old friend and then-Quaestor of HAD [[RevengeX Palpatine]] invited him on board the Clan flagship ''[[Excidium]]'' for a celebration following a Rite of Supremacy that had just concluded. After jumping to the [[Antei]] system, and right after the ceremonies were concluded, an entire war fleet of Yuuzhan Vong suddenly appeared. The furious assault left millions dead, and Timbal did the best he could on the bridge of the ''Excidium'', helping to direct the defense of the ship and the Clan fleet. The final space battle in the [[Cocytus System]] was led by Timbal, accounting for the revenge strike against the hated Arconan ships that destroyed a Clan ship.

=== Operation: Reclamation and Timbal's Nine ===

After the events of the [[Yuuzhan Vong Incursion]], Timbal was supervising the piecing together of the Clans' destroyed shipyards when the call by then-Proconsul Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine came to him. Reporting in, he got word of a special operations mission that Timbal was now responsible for. Taking a few of the best members that the Clan could offer, he departed to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mon_Calamari_%28planet%29 Mon Calamari] to steal a capital starship that was readying completion. After a few adventures and with the help of a droid, they managed to steal an almost-complete ''[[Nebula-class Star Destroyer|Nebula]]''-class Star Destroyer (Later named the ''[[Excidium II]]'') from under the nose of the New Republic. They arrived shortly after the destruction of the then-existing Clan fleet during Operation: Reclamation, in which the then-existing Clan fleet engaged and destroyed a lingering Yuuzhan Vong task force. This fight however came at the cost of the destruction of the entire Clan fleet itself. Thus, the new Star Destroyer was a welcome sight to the new Consul, Phoenix Palpatine. It was during this time that Timbal took [[Xathia]] on as his Student, working with her to develop her skills as a Knight. She was Knighted and departed the Clan shortly after these events.

=== Events After the Invasion ===

[[Image:ISD_II.jpg|250px|right|thumb|ISD II ''Warspite'' on maneuvers over Antenora]]

His actions during the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion, however, did little for the Clan overall and it was a disaster in which he had felt that he had let the Clan down. However, strengthened with a new resolve to clear his honor, he has taken to helping out his Clan in any way that he can, once again preferring action over words. However, the Clan Summit had seen things differently from him, and decided to reward his dedication by naming him the Clan Fleet Admiral, as well as giving him command of the ''[[Warspite]]'', an ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_II-class_Star_Destroyer Imperial II]''-Class Star Destroyer, which itself is serving as the command ship of the Clan fleet. In addition to his command duties over the fleet and over his ship, Timbal is also currently helping to plan the new defense of the system against any other enemies, rebuilding the destroyed Clan shipyards, and the on-going training of all fleet personnel. This included the training and deployment of an entire force of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/SpecNav_Force_trooper Special Navy Force] troopers to help safeguard the new ships of the fleet. He was also given the responsibility of making arrangements for their transport in case of hostilities. In the meantime, he has taken on his fourth Student to train, [[Asani Vosa]].

=== Continued Arconan Treachery ===

[[Image:Timbal_Inspects_the_Troops.jpg|250px|left|thumb|Timbal inspecting the troops aboard the ISD II ''Warspite''.]]
After a short while, the reformed assets of the Clan military were ready for any threat. Interestingly enough, the first call to arms was in support of [Clan Plagueis] in their battle against remnant Yuuzhan Vong forces. While in transit to assist them, Arcona sprung a trap to eliminate the Clan Fleet, but under Timbal's command the Fleet gave far more than what they took, putting the entire Arconan fleet in jeopardy of being destroyed or captured.

After calling a truce, they decided to join forces against the Yuuzhan Vong, but again the Arconans reneged on their word of truce and attempted to trick both the Scholae and Plagueis fleets engage each other. However, the intervention of a [[Dark Council Order of Battle|Dark Council Fleet]] prevented a murderous battle that would have decimated all three Clans, and probably incited a war that would have engulfed the entire Brotherhood in flames.

== Profile ==

===Appearance===

Timbal strives to keep fit, as physical fitness has saved his life on quite a few occasions. Thus, his physique is overall muscular, but his pride and joy is the solid abdominal muscles that are extremely well defined. His straight black hair gets really thick and unmanageable if he lets it get too long, so he usually keeps it close-cut. He's debated going bald, but he decided to wait until it became necessary. His skin tone is usually a milk-chocolate brown, unless he spends a short time in the sun. He gets darker easily, and is fairly resistant against sunburn.

For normal day-to-day wear around the Clan, he keeps on one of his combat jumpsuits. He believes in constantly being ready, so he's usually loaded down with the usual combat gear on his jumpsuit: His lightsabre, his two sai, a few throwing stars, and of course a few flash-bang grenades. This precaution has proven its' value over and over again, so he doesn't pay attention to those that criticize him for being too paranoid.

While relaxing in his quarters or elsewhere, he's usually in a pair of work-out shorts and a simple T-shirt, and usually barefoot. However, he takes pains to ensure that his lightsabre is always by his side.

===Personality===

Timbal is usually pretty quiet, and prefers to lurk in the background. This mainly stems from his time in the Intelligence Division. He moves very quietly, sub-consciously muting any sound he makes.

He also is quite stand-offish with new people that he meets, but this is partly due to the fact that he is somewhat shy, and partly due to the fact that he usually doesn't care much about new people that he meets until they have proven themselves in some way. In a similar vein, he does not make friends easy. Those that he calls his friends truly have earned that honor, and Timbal is extremely loyal to those that he calls his friends. This reluctance to trust, however, makes it difficult for him to learn new skills in the Force.

Finally, his best trait is his odd if ever-present sense of humor. He finds humor where others do not, and is always ready with a big, if wary, smile.

===Strengths and Weaknesses===

====Strengths====

*Extremely fast learner

*Large amounts of self-confidence

*Strong willpower

*Extensive combat experience

*An "Idea Guy"

*Ready to adapt if necessary

*Great pilot

====Weaknesses====

*Slow Force learner

*Combat paranoia

===Hobbies, Penchants and Talents===

Timbal is a fanatical reader and learner. He would prefer nothing more than reading for the rest of his life if he could get away with it, but he also enjoys the occasional daring event, especially the learning of new martial skills.

He also likes to tinker with computers, droids, or anything mechanical.

Timbal's talents really lay in strategic thinking. In large scale capital ship combat, he knows few peers. He is also an excellent administrator, but he despises that role and avoids it if possible. He also is a fairly good pilot, but admits that there are quite a few that can out-fly him.

===Notable Possessions===

[[Image:Timbal_and_Charlene.jpg|250px|Right|thumb|Timbal and his T/I, ''Charlene'']]
====''[[Charlene]]''====
{{On Notice}}
Timbal had acquired ''Charlene'', a TIE Interceptor, only relatively recently during his time as Consul. However, it has seen extensive upgrades, and cost him a lot of time and money to get done. However, it is kept in pristine condition, and is only rarely used. Exhaustive security measures ensure that only Timbal can pilot her.

===History===

==Homeworld==
Sundari is the third planet orbiting the star called Gariisa in the Garos system. The planet is covered by vasts deserts and sandstorms rage across the surface.

The planet was first explored shortly after colonists settled Garos IV around 4,000 BBY. No one believed that this hot, arid world was suitable for settlement … there was plenty of decent, arable land on Garos … why bother with Sundari. So those first explorers just mapped out the terrain.

But then, in the mountains just to the west of the desert region called Bergsta, they discovered an abundance of raw materials that could be cheaply mined. Seeing profit in exporting, the Sundar Corporation was born.

Sundari’s first settlement–the domed city of Bergsta–consisted of two thousand miners and their families. Operations expanded and thousands of Garosians migrated to the planet. Within five years, our small colony had grown to 40,000. Many companies came and went over the millennia. Today, six companies maintain mining operations here.

==Saved==

Because of the lucrative mining operation, Sundari drew the attention of all sorts of businessmen. One such organisation, the name not yet know at this time, planned to do a bit more than just driving a hard bargain. They wanted the planet for themselves.

After an economic boycott didn’t weaken the spirits of the Sundari people, they resorted to more aggressive measures. They released and army of wild animals onto the planet. These animals where an ecological menace. Large wolf-like creatures that attacked anything and anyone that came in their path.

The Sundari security forces resisted as long as they could. Bergsta was cordoned off and the dome was barricaded. But the foul creatures had multiplied at an astronomical pace. Within two months of introduction into the Sundari ecosystem, the Balvarines as they were called, destroyed all livestock and were ready to storm the city.
The security forces attempted to evacuate all the surrounding mining companies in the Bergsta mountains, but could not get to all of them in time.

Many Companies stood along against the dreadful assault of creatures. So too, the company of the Vosa family. Meldrid Vosa, his wife Ishka and two daughters, Komari of fifteen and Asani of eleven, had only three days to prepare. A minor flaw in the Sundari communications network that would cost thousands of lives.

Meldrid had made a shelter for his family and had dusted off his old blaster rifle to keep them safe. Ten minutes after the first perimeter alarm went off, the wolves reached the House. Meldrid only got a few shots off before he was overrun. At this, Ishka had run out of the shelter, locking it tightly behind her. She had picked up her husband’s rifle. From the cracks in the door, the two little girls saw how their mother defended herself and the broken body of Meldrid. She had stood proud and fired true. No shot missed as she killed at least a dozen of those terrible creatures. It was then that not her courage faltered, but the power cell of the rifle.

[[Image:balvarine soldier.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Balvarine soldier]]

The little girls looked horrified as their parents bodies were torn asunder by the Balvarines. With their acute sense of smell, it did not take the animals long to find the door behind which the two girls were hugging close together in fear. Seconds before the door was about to be broken down, Komari and Asani had heard the sounds of combat again. Not blaster fire, but the ringing of steel. After a while, the sounds died and they heard a voice call for them to come out of hiding. Several moments passed before either child dared to move.

As Komari opened the door to the shelter, her eyes fell upon all those Balvarine corpses surrounding a dark figure. He stood amid the carnage with a long black sword in his hands.
It was a fairly young man, but his face revealed a hard life.
He had been wounded and was in pain. Komari helped this stranger inside and tended to his wounds while Asani observed. He had been a member of the organisation that had let loose these dogs of war.

[[Image:Lokasena Corvinus.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Savior]]

The young man explained how he fought against the oppressive reign of the Lazarus Concordance for months. It had been sheer luck that he found the Vosa house. Or had it been something else…?

==23 ABY==

Asani was now 16 years of age. For five years she and her sister Komari had been safe, under the wing of Lokasena Corvinus, the man who had saved them. Realising that their little family would soon break apart, Asani started to look to the future.

[[Image:Asani Vosa Sexy.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Fury 16]]

Lokasena had become somewhat of a mentor for the girls, teaching them to fight and survive on their own. Rumours had reached their little house, which was no more than a thatched barn which they had repaired and decorated. Rumours of a Dark cult, somewhere on the edge of the galaxy. Corvinus left to seek them out, wondering if this could be a new home or them.

Asani and Komari stayed behind and decided to split up. That way they could more easily avoid detection. They made a pact to reunite as soon as Sena returned.
They both travelled to Corusant and while Komari went on to work in a more exotic environment, Asani was discovered by a small group of women. They claimed to be assassins in need of new blood. They accepted Asani into their midst and taught her how to be a killer.

==Fiorina 1-6-1 (Fury 16)==

The assassins cult, comprised entirely out of females, was quite successful. Because of her young age and fierce commitment, Asani earned the code name Fiorina 1-6-1. Fiorina because of the name of the cult, 1-6 because she was only 16 years old and the final 1 stood for the precedent she had set by making her first successful kill at age 16.

Asani quickly became known in the underworld of Corusant. Her fiery red hair and flaring green eyes earned her another nickname among the criminals of the planet. She became known as Fury 16, even after she had reached 17. Her Fiorina colleagues respected Asani and her targets feared her, for as long as they could.

As promised, Lokasena returned to them after several years. The three celebrated their reunification with a wild party that has become somewhat of an urban legend in the Corusant underworld. After the celebration, Lokasena took Komari to the Dark Brotherhood. Asani was left behind, deemed to young at the time.
Asani accepted her mentor and sister’s advice and waited patiently for her chance.

==The Brotherhood==

Asani joined 2 years after her sister did. Following her path to the Dark Side. Like Komari, she joined the House Ektrosis of Taldryan. With the exception of her sister and Lokasena Corvinus, Asani had no friends at all. After Komari died in the last Great Jedi War, Asani was grief stricken. She dealt with many accusations from her peers in clan Taldryan.

[[Image:Asani Vosa paint.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Asani Vosa]]

Although Lokasena fought for her in word and deed, he could not convince Asani to stay. For the longest time she disappeared between the Rogues of the Brotherhood. Taking the time to quietly meditate on all that had happened, Asani grew in the ways of the Dark Side.

Still befriending Lokasena Corvinus, Asani joined a new clan and House. A House of which she had heard much. Many of her late sister’s old friends were there. And so it came to pass that she settled in House Caliburnus of Scholae Palatinea. Here, she quickly made friends and allies.

It would be here that she would further her development into the Dark Side.

But even the Caliburnus House was not a safe haven for long. During the feud with clan Arcona, one of Asani’s oldest and dearest friends in the House betrayed her. This hurt Asani deeply from within. She felt hate, fear and despair.

And in her despairation, Asani turned to a man she had know for a long time, but no longer understood. Asani travelled to Taruma, to speak to her old mentor.

The voyage was uneventfull and the welcome by Taldryan security forces had been far more friendly than she had expected. Maybe because she had once been one of them, maybe because Sena had warned them in advance. Even in the halls of Ektrosis, there were no problems with security. She reached the quarters of Lokasena Corvinus and knocked on the heavy wooden door. The door had been unlocked and she stepped inside.

Corvinus’ quarters were dimly lit and bigger than her own, at Caliburnus. Perhaps due to his rank or former positions as Tetrarch. He had used the space quite effeciently. Although it seemed a bit cluttered at the moment. Books and data padds covered most of the table and desk, even the bed and floor. There were various shelves that held jars of specimens. Asani didn’t concentrate too much on what was inside them.

Corvinus was sitting in an old fashioned rockingchair, reading a book. As he looked up from the heavy volume, he stared at her face. His voice as calm as ever. “Why so serious?” he had asked, and Asani started crying. He walked over to her and cradeled her for a few moments. Then, he ha brought her to her feet and straightened her shoulders. Lokasena looked in her bright green eyes, which were still filled with tears, and he smiled at her. “Come on, little one. Let’s put a smile on that face!”

Asani could still see the remnants of the young, attractive man she knew. But there was a thin layer of madness that covered his eyes now. Asani did not care, she knew she would be safe with him. Safer than with anyone else.

After spending several weeks with Sena, she felt better again. He had reminded her of all the things that were truly important. He had never disapointed her before, and she doubted he ever would.

With new found vigour, Asani returned to her own clan and House Caliburnus. Stronger and more resolved then ever. Now she was ready to further her carreer and make her way towards the trails of knighthood.

==Of foxes and dark manes==

Anyone who knows Asani, know that she has a partner. A relationship that was literally forced with fury dedication. The beginning, as all beginnings are, was not at all easy. Rough patches were spread along the way. But Asani and her partner Eludajae , overcame them. There exists a love between the two that is seldom seen by agents of the Dark Side. Or perhaps it is the Dark Side that makes this ferocious love possible, who knows.

What is known, is that it is unwise to stand between the two, unless you’re invited. It would be wise, for all whom encounter the two together, to remember that Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor Hell a fury like a woman scorned.

==Vosa’s appearance==
''"She’s a white flame, when perceived through the Force"'' -Timbal

Her outward appearance is that of a young and very shy girl. But beware… Behind the innocence of her face, hides a great fury. There is no anger that burns more pure than the flame of Asani’s passion.

More than once, she has been warned that her emotions will consume her. With most Sith, it is just a saying, but Asani can take the comment quite literally. Whether this great waterfall of strong emotions is a result of her traumatic childhood, only Asani knows.

On her home world of Sundari, the Vosa women were known to be strong and passionate in mind, spirit and deed. Although her physical appearance may be less than impressive, her keen mind and burning soul are the source of Asani’s strength.

In Caliburnus she has many friends, but trusts only a few, even including those she converses with on a daily basis or that are part of her innermost circle. Those that are are her Master, her lover, her mentor and her best friend. Names shall not be given, for these people know what they are to Asani. She would trust any of them with her life, and she would burn down the galaxy itself should they ever need to be avenged.

Joshua J. Timbal is a former [[Consul]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] (amongst other Clan positions), one of the few Sons of Palpatine, and a Clan stalwart. Dedicated to the preservation of CSP's history, traditions, and customs, he has few peers that can match his long history with the Clan. Timbal also is the single authoritative source of information concerning the Clans' capital ship assets. He prefers to go by his given last name, Timbal.

==Character History==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===

Timbal was born into nobility on Alderaan, fifteen years before its' destruction. The sole heir to the family, he has retained some of his family's wealth, although quite a bit was squandered in his youth. The biggest event in his childhood was when his family was shamed and outraged when his father, a claimant to the Alderaanian throne, was denied his claim to it due to obscure legal reasons. It was instead given to the Organa family.

=== Young Adult Events ===

In order to "shape up" their wayward son, Timbal's parents pulled some strings and got him to join up with the Empire. Due to his political reliability, he was granted a slot at the prestigious Stormtrooper Academy in Carida, toiling away as a cadet to earn his commission as an Army Lieutenant. While away at the academy, he received news that Alderaan was destroyed, and his family was all on the planet when that happened. He instantly knew that the Rebels would commit any terrorist act to bring people to their cause, and thereby blamed the Rebellion for the loss of his family. The news devastated him, along with some of his fellow classmates from his home planet.

=== General Pilot Career ===

No longer interested in becoming a stormtrooper, Timbal dropped out of the academy and was subsequently found to be a promising candidate for starfighter training. During his starfighter training, he excelled in virtually every task that was given to him, earning an early entry to the Fleet. There, he served under the command of Vice Admiral Thrawn. He started out like all Imperial pilots, serving first as a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tie_fighter TIE Fighter] pilot, then moving up to the then-new [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tie_Interceptor TIE Interceptors], and then finally moved on to strike craft where he found his niche. He was eventually made a bomber and attack pilot trainer, a post he held for quite some time. He was in the Outer Rim serving as such when word of the defeat at Endor finally filtered down.

=== Service to the Emperor's Hammer ===

[[Image:DREAD.jpg|250px|right|thumb|DREAD ''Argonaut'' on patrol in EH space]]

Timbal at that point was bounced around various "Imperial" units for a short time until he settled down within the [[Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet]]. There he steadily rose up the ranks, finally achieving the level of a Wing Commander and obtained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He had then given up his Wing, and moved to a challenging position as a member of the elite Praetorian Squadron. He stood there for a few months, and then served as a Task Unit Commander in the now-defunct EH Naval Corps, giving him ample experience in capital ship warfare. During his stint as Task Unit Commander, he commanded his small escort fleet from the bridge of the ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dreadnaught-class_heavy_cruiser Dreadnaught]''-class ''Argonaut''. It was here where he acquired extensive capital ship combat experience, which later served him extremely well.

His service to the Naval Corps ended when it was decommissioned, which forced the young pilot to choose a place to go to. Yearning for a chance to finally command a powerful [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_I-class_Star_Destroyer Imperial-Class Star Destroyer], he joined up with the ISD ''Intrepid'', serving as a fighter pilot for a short time.

=== Initial entry with the Brotherhood ===

It was during this time that Timbal found out that he was Force-sensitive. Unsure of what to do, he joined the Dark Brotherhood after checking them out. Oddly enough, he started out in [[Clan Arcona]], but that would be short-lived since at the time joining the Clan, he found that it was effectively dead. With no one to help, he started to seek a Clan and a House that were very active, and eventually found a Clan called [[Scholae Palatinae]]. After a transfer request, he soon found himself in the company of many great Jedi, some of them eventually becoming life-long friends, such as [[Saitou]], [[Cuchulain]], [[Mike Halcyon]], Rhaub, [[Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine|Phoenix d'Tana]], and many others. Happy at last to find a great group to be with, he settled in to work.

=== Career Change ===

Back at the EH, however, he was growing more and more aware that he would never earn his own command since command positions rarely opened up, and even then they were usually filled by people that had political connections.

Anxious to not spend an eternity on proving himself over and over again without result, Timbal retired from the TIE Corps and started a new career within the Intelligence Division of the EH. This was based on his good experiences with them from a stint when he had served in Praetorian Squadron. His early work there is still classified, but he apparently succeeded. He went up the ladder relatively quickly due to assignments that were expertly completed, and after a bit he emerged as a public ID member and in command of a Bureau. Then, he was selected to become the next Tactics and Training Director, part of the ID Ubiqtorate. During that time his steady guidance ensured the proper training of many an Intelligence agent.

Eventually, he decided to take a break, and went on a leave of absence from the ID. It was during this time that he met a fellow Clan mate, Alisande Sayeesa. This was during the time of his first tour of duty within [[Drynwyn's Flame]], the elite Battle Team of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of CSP. His Tetrarch was Ms. Sayeesa, and they completed many assignments. During these missions they worked really well, and were responsible for many of DFs' successful assignments despite long odds. Eventually, due to their mutual trust and respect, she amusingly revealed her true identity of Kerridwen Jorddyn, a high-ranking ID officer. In fact, she was Timbal's predecessor as the Tactics and Training Director. A whirlwind romance then commenced shortly thereafter, culminating in a marriage attended by the majority of the Clan.

Once settled down, he was called upon to serve the ID again, this time as Special Projects Coordinator. There, he spent time trying to better the ID and generally have some fun. After a short time, he earned the rank of Rear Admiral and served in his position with distinction. It was during this time that was generally was called "The Golden Age" of HAD, and in particular the young couple also had their own golden age. They had a happy year and a half, during which time a son was born to them, [[Joshua Timbal]].

=== The Dark Days ===

After a short time, Timbal had taken upon his first Student, [[Anga Salinas]], at the suggestion of his wife. Since she was very gifted Jedi, Timbal made the mistake of not paying too much attention to the problems that were affecting his Student. His focus at the time was with his Intelligence work, and he was confident that he was doing what he could to safeguard all whom he cared for.

Of course, this was not to be. After various serious clashes with the Executive Officer of the Emperor's Hammer, Anga's plight proved to be the breaking point for many. This culminated in the direct events of the EH/DB split. For Timbal, this decision came out of nowhere, and he was forced into a decision that would profoundly affect him. For once, he was forced to choose which path he would take. He could not bring himself to go with the "rebel" Brotherhood, but at the same time he could not ignore the events that happened to his Student. Furthermore, the situation caused a huge rift between himself and his wife, whom at the time was the Supreme Director of the Intelligence Division. His marriage did not survive this event. Not knowing if the rebel Brotherhood was just a simple grab for power, or it was a true attempt at reform, he decided that he needed to know what the truth was for himself. He also knew that there was truth in their reasoning, and couldn't in good conscious continue to serve the corrupt EH. He resigned all positions, and prepared for the biggest and most crucial role of his life.

=== McKell is born ===

From his work within the Intelligence Division as well as his advanced knowledge of the Force provided a possible solution. He could not join the Brotherhood as himself, since that would cause adverse reaction back at the EH, so he decided to undergo a radical change to go undercover. With the assistance with high-ranking sympathetic Jedi, he had a Force-block placed on his memory, as well as had extensive surgery done to hide his physical characteristics. Once he was healed, he was sedated and dumped with no memory on a planet that was known to have Brotherhood agents around. He was found by them, and joined the "Rebel" Brotherhood under a new name, which was Jordan McKell. He was an amnesiac that woke up from a coma, so he had to start from scratch, including re-learning his Force powers. During this time, he re-joined his Clan, reintegrating himself within.

=== Chaos ===

The initial days and months after the split were chaotic ones. Chains of command were broken, families were ripped apart, and brothers became enemies. The Clan itself constantly had a series of ineffectual leaders, and it was feared that the Clan would die from the chaos. The Clan was on the verge of total collapse, and it seemed that only the efforts of the House Acclivis Draco, with their dogged adherence to tradition and honor, kept them afloat. The Clan only gained stability when long-retired leaders such as Cuchulain stepped in to close the gaps. During this time, McKell stayed quiet, just learning as much as he could, and making a name for himself.

=== Turning Points ===

The true turning point for the Clan and for McKell was during the first Independence Games. The Clan had finally gained stable leadership after almost a year of turmoil, and acquitted themselves extremely well against the other Clans. This helped to forge a new identity with the Clan, and for McKell, his work was honored. He swiftly rose through the ranks. He had re-reached the rank of Jedi Hunter, and was about to re-do his Trials for Knighthood when a package sent to him by his real self reached him. It explained everything that had happened until his memory was erased. With the help of Jedi Master Arania Lawakiro, he then has had his memory, Force powers, and everything else restored. He was also reunited with his son, who was under the care of his close brother, Saitou. Due to his experiences, he knew that the so-called rebel Brotherhood was where he really wanted to be. Thus, he prospered.

=== True Leadership ===

Living through the events of the Split, Timbal knew that he needed to do something that would keep the Clan united, to have a common point of reference that could be a focal point for rallying the Clan. This caused him to become a huge proponent of saving every bit of history that the Clan went through, and it is now his life-long goal to retain this history for all to see. During this time, Timbal came to his own, helping out in various leadership positions, and generally trying to help the Clan recover. Much of this was not done while officially serving in any position, and he showed that leadership was independent of what position you held. This was eventually paid back when he was chosen to serve as [[Consul]] of the Clan.

Timbal's main philosophies while serving as Consul included the following:
* Selfless sacrifice for the good of the Clan
* The focus upon SERVING the Clan, instead of being served by it
* Motivating by leading from the front
* Communication and delegation
* Prompt and heartfelt recognition
* A sense of humor, flexibility, and common sense

These values served him well during his reign, and the Clan prospered. Eventually, he was forced to step down, as the calling of the Force upon his personal life was too strong to ignore anymore.

Interestingly enough, during this time he was also re-married for an extremely short time. It was mainly due to a vast amount of alcohol that he had consumed with a Brotherhood friend one night, and the next day he found himself married to her, Morrigan Jarel Lilienkamp Fey. Although the effects of the alcohol had worn off fairly soon, they both had quite the fun time pretending to be newlyweds. Of course, Timbal wasn't officially divorced from his first wife as yet, which technically made him a polygamist and gave them grounds for an annulment. They've remained close friends since then.

It was also during this time that he was presented with another son, [[Mark Timbal]]. This development further cemented his removal from general Clan business, until he was forced to leave the Clan for a while because of it.

=== The Return ===

Now that some time has passed and the calling of the Force is now passing on to others, Timbal was now free to re-join his beloved Clan. He started to work in the shadows, helping once again to make his Clan a better place for all.

Unfortunately, during his time away the Clan had changed. He had felt that it was no longer the place that he knew; indeed, many were people he had never met or dealt with, people who were unaware of his contributions or worse, people that did not care. Disagreements with many finally convinced him to move along. For a short time he found refuge within [[Clan Tarentum]], but restlessness once again took hold, and he decided to once again find his own path in the Force. Finally, his sense of loss, loneliness, and longing brought him back to the Clan of his hearts' desire. Mending broken fences, he settled back in.

Little did he know that almost literally the next day disaster awaited.

=== The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster ===

Literally right after dumping his bags back into the HAD quarters that he had been assigned, his old friend and then-Quaestor of HAD [[RevengeX Palpatine]] invited him on board the Clan flagship ''[[Excidium]]'' for a celebration following a Rite of Supremacy that had just concluded. After jumping to the [[Antei]] system, and right after the ceremonies were concluded, an entire war fleet of Yuuzhan Vong suddenly appeared. The furious assault left millions dead, and Timbal did the best he could on the bridge of the ''Excidium'', helping to direct the defense of the ship and the Clan fleet. The final space battle in the [[Cocytus System]] was led by Timbal, accounting for the revenge strike against the hated Arconan ships that destroyed a Clan ship.

=== Operation: Reclamation and Timbal's Nine ===

After the events of the [[Yuuzhan Vong Incursion]], Timbal was supervising the piecing together of the Clans' destroyed shipyards when the call by then-Proconsul Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine came to him. Reporting in, he got word of a special operations mission that Timbal was now responsible for. Taking a few of the best members that the Clan could offer, he departed to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mon_Calamari_%28planet%29 Mon Calamari] to steal a capital starship that was readying completion. After a few adventures and with the help of a droid, they managed to steal an almost-complete ''[[Nebula-class Star Destroyer|Nebula]]''-class Star Destroyer (Later named the ''[[Excidium II]]'') from under the nose of the New Republic. They arrived shortly after the destruction of the then-existing Clan fleet during Operation: Reclamation, in which the then-existing Clan fleet engaged and destroyed a lingering Yuuzhan Vong task force. This fight however came at the cost of the destruction of the entire Clan fleet itself. Thus, the new Star Destroyer was a welcome sight to the new Consul, Phoenix Palpatine. It was during this time that Timbal took [[Xathia]] on as his Student, working with her to develop her skills as a Knight. She was Knighted and departed the Clan shortly after these events.

=== Events After the Invasion ===

[[Image:ISD_II.jpg|250px|right|thumb|ISD II ''Warspite'' on maneuvers over Antenora]]

His actions during the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion, however, did little for the Clan overall and it was a disaster in which he had felt that he had let the Clan down. However, strengthened with a new resolve to clear his honor, he has taken to helping out his Clan in any way that he can, once again preferring action over words. However, the Clan Summit had seen things differently from him, and decided to reward his dedication by naming him the Clan Fleet Admiral, as well as giving him command of the ''[[Warspite]]'', an ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_II-class_Star_Destroyer Imperial II]''-Class Star Destroyer, which itself is serving as the command ship of the Clan fleet. In addition to his command duties over the fleet and over his ship, Timbal is also currently helping to plan the new defense of the system against any other enemies, rebuilding the destroyed Clan shipyards, and the on-going training of all fleet personnel. This included the training and deployment of an entire force of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/SpecNav_Force_trooper Special Navy Force] troopers to help safeguard the new ships of the fleet. He was also given the responsibility of making arrangements for their transport in case of hostilities. In the meantime, he has taken on his fourth Student to train, [[Asani Vosa]].

=== Continued Arconan Treachery ===

[[Image:Timbal_Inspects_the_Troops.jpg|250px|left|thumb|Timbal inspecting the troops aboard the ISD II ''Warspite''.]]
After a short while, the reformed assets of the Clan military were ready for any threat. Interestingly enough, the first call to arms was in support of [Clan Plagueis] in their battle against remnant Yuuzhan Vong forces. While in transit to assist them, Arcona sprung a trap to eliminate the Clan Fleet, but under Timbal's command the Fleet gave far more than what they took, putting the entire Arconan fleet in jeopardy of being destroyed or captured.

After calling a truce, they decided to join forces against the Yuuzhan Vong, but again the Arconans reneged on their word of truce and attempted to trick both the Scholae and Plagueis fleets engage each other. However, the intervention of a [[Dark Council Order of Battle|Dark Council Fleet]] prevented a murderous battle that would have decimated all three Clans, and probably incited a war that would have engulfed the entire Brotherhood in flames.

== Profile ==

===Appearance===

Timbal strives to keep fit, as physical fitness has saved his life on quite a few occasions. Thus, his physique is overall muscular, but his pride and joy is the solid abdominal muscles that are extremely well defined. His straight black hair gets really thick and unmanageable if he lets it get too long, so he usually keeps it close-cut. He's debated going bald, but he decided to wait until it became necessary. His skin tone is usually a milk-chocolate brown, unless he spends a short time in the sun. He gets darker easily, and is fairly resistant against sunburn.

For normal day-to-day wear around the Clan, he keeps on one of his combat jumpsuits. He believes in constantly being ready, so he's usually loaded down with the usual combat gear on his jumpsuit: His lightsabre, his two sai, a few throwing stars, and of course a few flash-bang grenades. This precaution has proven its' value over and over again, so he doesn't pay attention to those that criticize him for being too paranoid.

While relaxing in his quarters or elsewhere, he's usually in a pair of work-out shorts and a simple T-shirt, and usually barefoot. However, he takes pains to ensure that his lightsabre is always by his side.

===Personality===

Timbal is usually pretty quiet, and prefers to lurk in the background. This mainly stems from his time in the Intelligence Division. He moves very quietly, sub-consciously muting any sound he makes.

He also is quite stand-offish with new people that he meets, but this is partly due to the fact that he is somewhat shy, and partly due to the fact that he usually doesn't care much about new people that he meets until they have proven themselves in some way. In a similar vein, he does not make friends easy. Those that he calls his friends truly have earned that honor, and Timbal is extremely loyal to those that he calls his friends. This reluctance to trust, however, makes it difficult for him to learn new skills in the Force.

Finally, his best trait is his odd if ever-present sense of humor. He finds humor where others do not, and is always ready with a big, if wary, smile.

===Strengths and Weaknesses===

====Strengths====

*Extremely fast learner

*Large amounts of self-confidence

*Strong willpower

*Extensive combat experience

*An "Idea Guy"

*Ready to adapt if necessary

*Great pilot

====Weaknesses====

*Slow Force learner

*Combat paranoia

*Addiction to alcohol

*Inadequate training in large-scale ground combat strategy/tactics

===Hobbies, Penchants and Talents===

Timbal is a fanatical reader and learner. He would prefer nothing more than reading for the rest of his life if he could get away with it, but he also enjoys the occasional daring event, especially the learning of new martial skills.

He also likes to tinker with computers, droids, or anything mechanical.

Timbal's talents really lay in strategic thinking. In large scale capital ship combat, he knows few peers. He is also an excellent administrator, but he despises that role and avoids it if possible. He also is a fairly good pilot, but admits that there are quite a few that can out-fly him.

===Notable Possessions===

[[Image:Timbal_and_Charlene.jpg|250px|Right|thumb|Timbal and his T/I, ''Charlene'']]
====''[[Charlene]]''====
{{On Notice}}
Timbal had acquired ''Charlene'', a TIE Interceptor, only relatively recently during his time as Consul. However, it has seen extensive upgrades, and cost him a lot of time and money to get done. However, it is kept in pristine condition, and is only rarely used. Exhaustive security measures ensure that only Timbal can pilot her.

Cocytus System

2008-09-16T17:21:52Z

Lambow: /* Cocytus System */ - Updating shipyard information.

{{construction}}

==Cocytus System==

The Royal Clan finds itself nestled deep within the planetary system of Cocytus under the white star, Imperius. The size of the star is an estimated 1.4 million kilometers in diameter and provides the necessary warmth and illumination to sustain life on four orbiting planets: Judecca, Antenora, Caina and Ptolomea. Each planet is fundamentally different, but all of which are capable of sustaining life; however, the amount of denizens each can support is based on individual climate and resources.

'''Points of Interest:'''

*The RevengeX Palpatine Shipyards

Strategically placed mid-system and near Judecca so the Clan Fleet can defend the commercial resource and lifeblood of the System's economy. The shipyard is comprised of 150 slips, and ordinarily had a standard quality shipbuilding crew. In comparison, Incom Corporation, the original company responsible for the X-Wing, has 2,234 slips with the same quality shipbuilding crews. Adjacent to the slips is a refitting and construction platform that is owned by a third-party corporation, itself directly tied to an unknown member of Scholae Palatinae. The shipyards themselves were seriously damaged during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, and the Clan is still pouring funds in to bring them back up to par. Even harder to fix is the loss of many of the shipbuilding crew members, most of which had decades of shipbuilding experience. While purchasing more droids for the task has somewhat helped, the Clan still has trouble attracting qualified crews.

While the small shipyard draws little attention as a military asset, it does theoretically possess the potential to refit a vessel in the same class as a ''Victory''-Class Star Destroyer. Although it is theoretically possible to construct such a vessel, in reality many of the slips are booked ahead years in advance. The vast majority of the slips that were reserved for Clan use only have been reluctantly assigned to help ease their delay, since the revenue source that comes from the shipyards is one the Clan can ill-afford to lose. Furthermore, the construction of such a vessel would require tremendous resources that would take years to acquire. As is right now the Clan is just barely able to produce enough fighters to replace those lost in training accidents or combat, not to mention maintenance of their large capital ship fleet.

The shipyards were named after long-standing Clan member [[RevengeX Palpatine]], in honor of his long-standing service to House Acclivis Draco.

*Manufacturing Plants

A series of industry parks are placed in orbit above the planets or near the shipyard. These plants are responsible for the production of pieces and parts necessary for the shipyard and local companies to produce transports and military vessels - these plants are also responsible for serving as the leading edge in technology development and experimental science.

*Asteroid Belt

==Judecca==
Judecca is located in the Mid-Rim region located in The Cocytus System and has three moons; Judas, Brutus, and Cassius. The planet has a mix of jungle, a forest prevalent in equatorial region, rough mountainous areas towards the tropic lines and small annual Polar Regions. Major imports include such things as Weaponry, Foodstuff and Ore. Judecca's capital is Ohmen with five other major cities; Teyr, Lyon, Tailyon, Rousae, and Missing City. Points of interest on Jucecca include; The Black Road, Twin Towers, Dragon’s Point, Ghostly Citadel, Lake of Shadows, Black Jungles, The Lonely Moors, Meditation Shrine, Abandoned Temple and Royal Palace. It is the home planet of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].

''Main page: [[Judecca]]''

==Antenora==
Antenora is located in the Mid-Rim region located in The Cocytus System and its single solitary moon is called Ugolino. It is predominantly dry due to botched terra-forming and has very little precipitation, if any. It is the home planet of [[House Acclivis Draco]]. Antenora's capital is Daemon and the other major cities that follow are; Cervus, Sartis, Calynos, and Lusid. Primary imports include such things as Water, Foodstuffs and Technology.

''Main page: [[Antenora]]''

==Caina==

Dual Lightsabers

2008-09-14T05:11:01Z

Lambow: /* Availability */ - Just added a link to make it easier to see what exactly Equite 3 is.

There are many Jedi who prefer to use two [[lightsabers]] at once in combat. Some use one for defense, and one for assault, while others use the additional weapon to press their opponent's defenses further. In any case, the use of two lightsabers at once is a very difficult task, require exhaustive and specialized training.

== Usage ==
Several Lightsaber forms of combat can make the use of a second lightsaber. [[Shien]] and [[Sokan]] have special techniques that only can be accomplished with two sabers, and [[Jar'Kai Niman]] is a form built entirely around the efficient use of two weapons.

== Availability ==
The use of Two Lightsabers at once is restricted to those who have reached the rank of [[Equite 3]]. Those below this rank are not permitted to train with them, nor display them on their [[dossier]]. however, one must train in either [[Jar'Kai Niman]], [[Shien]] or [[Sokan]] to effectively use them. Those wishing to use custom dual lightsabers must first acquire the rank of Equite 4.

Lambow: /* Anshar Kahn Tarentae */

The '''featured articles''' of the wiki are articles that represent the best [[DJBWiki]] has to offer. This is ''not'' a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like.

*[[Featured article/History|History]]
*[[DJBWiki:Featured article/Queue|Queue]]

So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.

----

<big>''An article must…''</big>

#…be well written and detailed
#…be unbiased, non-point of view
#…not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
#…not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
#…have a succinct proper lead that can be used for the front page [[Template:Featured article|featured box]]
#…have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
#…have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
#…not have been previously featured

For more information on what makes a featured article, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_is_a_featured_article Wikipedia:What is a featured article].

----

<big>''How to nominate:''</big>

#First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
#Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
#Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
#The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
#Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".

<big>''How to vote:''</big>

#Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
#Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either '''support''' or '''object''' the article's nomination.
##If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
#As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
#Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".

Also remember to add <code>{{tl|nominated}}</code> at the top of the article you are nominating.

Every month the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the [[Main Page]] as featured, marked with the <code>{{tl|featured}}</code> template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the <code>{{tl|featured article}}</code> template. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.

==Featured article nominations==
List an article and leave your signature for the nomination(s) - additional comments beyond '''support''' or '''object''' (unless you have concrete reasons as to why you object) are not required and will be deleted.

Joshua J. Timbal is a former [[Consul]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] (amongst other Clan positions), one of the few Sons of Palpatine, and a Clan stalwart. Dedicated to the preservation of CSP's history, traditions, and customs, he has few peers that can match his long history with the Clan. Timbal also is the single authoritative source of information concerning the Clans' capital ship assets. He prefers to go by his given last name, Timbal.

==Character History==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===

Timbal was born into nobility on Alderaan, fifteen years before its' destruction. The sole heir to the family, he has retained some of his family's wealth, although quite a bit was squandered in his youth. The biggest event in his childhood was when his family was shamed and outraged when his father, a claimant to the Alderaanian throne, was denied his claim to it due to obscure legal reasons. It was instead given to the Organa family.

=== Young Adult Events ===

In order to "shape up" their wayward son, Timbal's parents pulled some strings and got him to join up with the Empire. Due to his political reliability, he was granted a slot at the prestigious Stormtrooper Academy in Carida, toiling away as a cadet to earn his commission as an Army Lieutenant. While away at the academy, he received news that Alderaan was destroyed, and his family was all on the planet when that happened. He instantly knew that the Rebels would commit any terrorist act to bring people to their cause, and thereby blamed the Rebellion for the loss of his family. The news devastated him, along with some of his fellow classmates from his home planet.

=== General Pilot Career ===

No longer interested in becoming a stormtrooper, Timbal dropped out of the academy and was subsequently found to be a promising candidate for starfighter training. During his starfighter training, he excelled in virtually every task that was given to him, earning an early entry to the Fleet. There, he served under the command of Vice Admiral Thrawn. He started out like all Imperial pilots, serving first as a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tie_fighter TIE Fighter] pilot, then moving up to the then-new [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tie_Interceptor TIE Interceptors], and then finally moved on to strike craft where he found his niche. He was eventually made a bomber and attack pilot trainer, a post he held for quite some time. He was in the Outer Rim serving as such when word of the defeat at Endor finally filtered down.

=== Service to the Emperor's Hammer ===

Timbal at that point was bounced around various "Imperial" units for a short time until he settled down within the [[Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet]]. There he steadily rose up the ranks, finally achieving the level of a Wing Commander and obtained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He had then given up his Wing, and moved to a challenging position as a member of the elite Praetorian Squadron. He stood there for a few months, and then served as a Task Unit Commander in the now-defunct EH Naval Corps, giving him ample experience in capital ship warfare. During his stint as Task Unit Commander, he commanded his small escort fleet from the bridge of the ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dreadnaught-class_heavy_cruiser Dreadnaught]''-class ''Argonaut''. It was here where he acquired extensive capital ship combat experience, which later served him extremely well.

His service to the Naval Corps ended when it was decommissioned, which forced the young pilot to choose a place to go to. Yearning for a chance to finally command a powerful [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_I-class_Star_Destroyer Imperial-Class Star Destroyer], he joined up with the ISD ''Intrepid'', serving as a fighter pilot for a short time.

=== Initial entry with the Brotherhood ===

It was during this time that Timbal found out that he was Force-sensitive. Unsure of what to do, he joined the Dark Brotherhood after checking them out. Oddly enough, he started out in [[Clan Arcona]], but that would be short-lived since at the time joining the Clan, he found that it was effectively dead. With no one to help, he started to seek a Clan and a House that were very active, and eventually found a Clan called [[Scholae Palatinae]]. After a transfer request, he soon found himself in the company of many great Jedi, some of them eventually becoming life-long friends, such as [[Saitou]], [[Cuchulain]], [[Mike Halcyon]], Rhaub, [[Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine|Phoenix d'Tana]], and many others. Happy at last to find a great group to be with, he settled in to work.

=== Career Change ===

Back at the EH, however, he was growing more and more aware that he would never earn his own command since command positions rarely opened up, and even then they were usually filled by people that had political connections.

Anxious to not spend an eternity on proving himself over and over again without result, Timbal retired from the TIE Corps and started a new career within the Intelligence Division of the EH. This was based on his good experiences with them from a stint when he had served in Praetorian Squadron. His early work there is still classified, but he apparently succeeded. He went up the ladder relatively quickly due to assignments that were expertly completed, and after a bit he emerged as a public ID member and in command of a Bureau. Then, he was selected to become the next Tactics and Training Director, part of the ID Ubiqtorate. During that time his steady guidance ensured the proper training of many an Intelligence agent.

Eventually, he decided to take a break, and went on a leave of absence from the ID. It was during this time that he met a fellow Clan mate, Alisande Sayeesa. This was during the time of his first tour of duty within [[Drynwyn's Flame]], the elite Battle Team of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of CSP. His Tetrarch was Ms. Sayeesa, and they completed many assignments. During these missions they worked really well, and were responsible for many of DFs' successful assignments despite long odds. Eventually, due to their mutual trust and respect, she amusingly revealed her true identity of Kerridwen Jorddyn, a high-ranking ID officer. In fact, she was Timbal's predecessor as the Tactics and Training Director. A whirlwind romance then commenced shortly thereafter, culminating in a marriage attended by the majority of the Clan.

Once settled down, he was called upon to serve the ID again, this time as Special Projects Coordinator. There, he spent time trying to better the ID and generally have some fun. After a short time, he earned the rank of Rear Admiral and served in his position with distinction. It was during this time that was generally was called "The Golden Age" of HAD, and in particular the young couple also had their own golden age. They had a happy year and a half, during which time a son was born to them, [[Joshua Timbal]].

=== The Dark Days ===

After a short time, Timbal had taken upon his first Student, [[Anga Salinas]], at the suggestion of his wife. Since she was very gifted Jedi, Timbal made the mistake of not paying too much attention to the problems that were affecting his Student. His focus at the time was with his Intelligence work, and he was confident that he was doing what he could to safeguard all whom he cared for.

Of course, this was not to be. After various serious clashes with the Executive Officer of the Emperor's Hammer, Anga's plight proved to be the breaking point for many. This culminated in the direct events of the EH/DB split. For Timbal, this decision came out of nowhere, and he was forced into a decision that would profoundly affect him. For once, he was forced to choose which path he would take. He could not bring himself to go with the "rebel" Brotherhood, but at the same time he could not ignore the events that happened to his Student. Furthermore, the situation caused a huge rift between himself and his wife, whom at the time was the Supreme Director of the Intelligence Division. His marriage did not survive this event. Not knowing if the rebel Brotherhood was just a simple grab for power, or it was a true attempt at reform, he decided that he needed to know what the truth was for himself. He also knew that there was truth in their reasoning, and couldn't in good conscious continue to serve the corrupt EH. He resigned all positions, and prepared for the biggest and most crucial role of his life.

=== McKell is born ===

From his work within the Intelligence Division as well as his advanced knowledge of the Force provided a possible solution. He could not join the Brotherhood as himself, since that would cause adverse reaction back at the EH, so he decided to undergo a radical change to go undercover. With the assistance with high-ranking sympathetic Jedi, he had a Force-block placed on his memory, as well as had extensive surgery done to hide his physical characteristics. Once he was healed, he was sedated and dumped with no memory on a planet that was known to have Brotherhood agents around. He was found by them, and joined the "Rebel" Brotherhood under a new name, which was Jordan McKell. He was an amnesiac that woke up from a coma, so he had to start from scratch, including re-learning his Force powers. During this time, he re-joined his Clan, reintegrating himself within.

=== Chaos ===

The initial days and months after the split were chaotic ones. Chains of command were broken, families were ripped apart, and brothers became enemies. The Clan itself constantly had a series of ineffectual leaders, and it was feared that the Clan would die from the chaos. The Clan was on the verge of total collapse, and it seemed that only the efforts of the House Acclivis Draco, with their dogged adherence to tradition and honor, kept them afloat. The Clan only gained stability when long-retired leaders such as Cuchulain stepped in to close the gaps. During this time, McKell stayed quiet, just learning as much as he could, and making a name for himself.

=== Turning Points ===

The true turning point for the Clan and for McKell was during the first Independence Games. The Clan had finally gained stable leadership after almost a year of turmoil, and acquitted themselves extremely well against the other Clans. This helped to forge a new identity with the Clan, and for McKell, his work was honored. He swiftly rose through the ranks. He had re-reached the rank of Jedi Hunter, and was about to re-do his Trials for Knighthood when a package sent to him by his real self reached him. It explained everything that had happened until his memory was erased. With the help of Jedi Master Arania Lawakiro, he then has had his memory, Force powers, and everything else restored. He was also reunited with his son, who was under the care of his close brother, Saitou. Due to his experiences, he knew that the so-called rebel Brotherhood was where he really wanted to be. Thus, he prospered.

=== True Leadership ===

Living through the events of the Split, Timbal knew that he needed to do something that would keep the Clan united, to have a common point of reference that could be a focal point for rallying the Clan. This caused him to become a huge proponent of saving every bit of history that the Clan went through, and it is now his life-long goal to retain this history for all to see. During this time, Timbal came to his own, helping out in various leadership positions, and generally trying to help the Clan recover. Much of this was not done while officially serving in any position, and he showed that leadership was independent of what position you held. This was eventually paid back when he was chosen to serve as [[Consul]] of the Clan.

Timbal's main philosophies while serving as Consul included the following:
* Selfless sacrifice for the good of the Clan
* The focus upon SERVING the Clan, instead of being served by it
* Motivating by leading from the front
* Communication and delegation
* Prompt and heartfelt recognition
* A sense of humor, flexibility, and common sense

These values served him well during his reign, and the Clan prospered. Eventually, he was forced to step down, as the calling of the Force upon his personal life was too strong to ignore anymore.

Interestingly enough, during this time he was also re-married for an extremely short time. It was mainly due to a vast amount of alcohol that he had consumed with a Brotherhood friend one night, and the next day he found himself married to her, [[Morrigan Jarel Lilienkamp Fey]]. Although the effects of the alcohol had worn off fairly soon, they both had quite the fun time pretending to be newlyweds. Of course, Timbal wasn't officially divorced from his first wife as yet, which technically made him a polygamist and gave them grounds for an annulment. They've remained close friends since then.

It was also during this time that he was presented with another son, [[Mark Timbal]]. This development further cemented his removal from general Clan business, until he was forced to leave the Clan for a while because of it.

=== The Return ===

Now that some time has passed and the calling of the Force is now passing on to others, Timbal was now free to re-join his beloved Clan. He started to work in the shadows, helping once again to make his Clan a better place for all.

Unfortunately, during his time away the Clan had changed. He had felt that it was no longer the place that he knew; indeed, many were people he had never met or dealt with, people who were unaware of his contributions or worse, people that did not care. Disagreements with many finally convinced him to move along. For a short time he found refuge within [[Clan Tarentum]], but restlessness once again took hold, and he decided to once again find his own path in the Force. Finally, his sense of loss, loneliness, and longing brought him back to the Clan of his hearts' desire. Mending broken fences, he settled back in.

Little did he know that almost literally the next day disaster awaited.

=== The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster ===

Literally right after dumping his bags back into the HAD quarters that he had been assigned, his old friend and then-Quaestor of HAD [[RevengeX Palpatine]] invited him on board the Clan flagship ''[[Excidium]]'' for a celebration following a Rite of Supremacy that had just concluded. After jumping to the [[Antei]] system, and right after the ceremonies were concluded, an entire war fleet of Yuuzhan Vong suddenly appeared. The furious assault left millions dead, and Timbal did the best he could on the bridge of the ''Excidium'', helping to direct the defense of the ship and the Clan fleet. The final space battle in the [[Cocytus System]] was led by Timbal, accounting for the revenge strike against the hated Arconan ships that destroyed a Clan ship.

=== Operation: Reclamation and Timbal's Nine ===

After the events of the [[Yuuzhan Vong Incursion]], Timbal was supervising the piecing together of the Clans' destroyed shipyards when the call by then-Proconsul Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine came to him. Reporting in, he got word of a special operations mission that Timbal was now responsible for. Taking a few of the best members that the Clan could offer, he departed to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mon_Calamari_%28planet%29 Mon Calamari] to steal a capital starship that was readying completion. After a few adventures and with the help of a droid, they managed to steal an almost-complete ''[[Nebula-class Star Destroyer|Nebula]]''-class Star Destroyer (Later named the ''[[Excidium II]]'') from under the nose of the New Republic. They arrived shortly after the destruction of the then-existing Clan fleet during Operation: Reclamation, in which the then-existing Clan fleet engaged and destroyed a lingering Yuuzhan Vong task force. This fight however came at the cost of the destruction of the entire Clan fleet itself. Thus, the new Star Destroyer was a welcome sight to the new Consul, Phoenix Palpatine. It was during this time that Timbal took [[Xathia]] on as his Student, working with her to develop her skills as a Knight. She was Knighted and departed the Clan shortly after these events.

=== Events After the Invasion ===

[[Image:ISD_II.jpg|250px|right|thumb|ISD II ''Warspite'' on maneuvers over Antenora]]

His actions during the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion, however, did little for the Clan overall and it was a disaster in which he had felt that he had let the Clan down. However, strengthened with a new resolve to clear his honor, he has taken to helping out his Clan in any way that he can, once again preferring action over words. However, the Clan Summit had seen things differently from him, and decided to reward his dedication by naming him the Clan Fleet Admiral, as well as giving him command of the ''[[Warspite]]'', an ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_II-class_Star_Destroyer Imperial II]''-Class Star Destroyer, which itself is serving as the command ship of the Clan fleet. In addition to his command duties over the fleet and over his ship, Timbal is also currently helping to plan the new defense of the system against any other enemies, rebuilding the destroyed Clan shipyards, and the on-going training of all fleet personnel. This included the training and deployment of an entire force of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/SpecNav_Force_trooper Special Navy Force] troopers to help safeguard the new ships of the fleet. He was also given the responsibility of making arrangements for their transport in case of hostilities. In the meantime, he has taken on his fourth Student to train, [[Asani Vosa]].

=== Continued Arconan Treachery ===

After a short while, the reformed assets of the Clan military were ready for any threat. Interestingly enough, the first call to arms was in support of [Clan Plagueis] in their battle against remnant Yuuzhan Vong forces. While in transit to assist them, Arcona sprung a trap to eliminate the Clan Fleet, but under Timbal's command the Fleet gave far more than what they took, putting the entire Arconan fleet in jeopardy of being destroyed or captured.

After calling a truce, they decided to join forces against the Yuuzhan Vong, but again the Arconans reneged on their word of truce and attempted to trick both the Scholae and Plagueis fleets engage each other. However, the intervention of a [[Dark Council Order of Battle|Dark Council Fleet]] prevented a murderous battle that would have decimated all three Clans, and probably incited a war that would have engulfed the entire Brotherhood in flames.

== Profile ==

===Appearance===

Timbal strives to keep fit, as physical fitness has saved his life on quite a few occasions. Thus, his physique is overall muscular, but his pride and joy is the solid abdominal muscles that are extremely well defined. His straight black hair gets really thick and unmanageable if he lets it get too long, so he usually keeps it close-cut. He's debated going bald, but he decided to wait until it became necessary. His skin tone is usually a milk-chocolate brown, unless he spends a short time in the sun. He gets darker easily, and is fairly resistant against sunburn.

For normal day-to-day wear around the Clan, he keeps on one of his combat jumpsuits. He believes in constantly being ready, so he's usually loaded down with the usual combat gear on his jumpsuit: His lightsabre, his two sai, a few throwing stars, and of course a few flash-bang grenades. This precaution has proven its' value over and over again, so he doesn't pay attention to those that criticize him for being too paranoid.

While relaxing in his quarters or elsewhere, he's usually in a pair of work-out shorts and a simple T-shirt, and usually barefoot. However, he takes pains to ensure that his lightsabre is always by his side.

===Personality===

Timbal is usually pretty quiet, and prefers to lurk in the background. This mainly stems from his time in the Intelligence Division. He moves very quietly, sub-consciously muting any sound he makes.

He also is quite stand-offish with new people that he meets, but this is partly due to the fact that he is somewhat shy, and partly due to the fact that he usually doesn't care much about new people that he meets until they have proven themselves in some way. In a similar vein, he does not make friends easy. Those that he calls his friends truly have earned that honor, and Timbal is extremely loyal to those that he calls his friends. This reluctance to trust, however, makes it difficult for him to learn new skills in the Force.

Finally, his best trait is his odd if ever-present sense of humor. He finds humor where others do not, and is always ready with a big, if wary, smile.

===Strengths and Weaknesses===

====Strengths====

*Extremely fast learner

*Large amounts of self-confidence

*Strong willpower

*Extensive combat experience

*An "Idea Guy"

*Ready to adapt if necessary

*Great pilot

====Weaknesses====

*Slow Force learner

*Combat paranoia

*Addiction to alcohol

*Inadequate training in large-scale ground combat strategy/tactics

*Shy

*Slow to trust

===Hobbies, Penchants and Talents===

Timbal is a fanatical reader and learner. He would prefer nothing more than reading for the rest of his life if he could get away with it, but he also enjoys the occasional daring event, especially the learning of new martial skills.

He also likes to tinker with computers, droids, or anything mechanical.

Timbal's talents really lay in strategic thinking. In large scale capital ship combat, he knows few peers. He is also an excellent administrator, but he despises that role and avoids it if possible. He also is a fairly good pilot, but admits that there are quite a few that can out-fly him.

===Notable Possessions===

[[Image:Timbal_and_Charlene.jpg|250px|Right|thumb|Timbal and his T/I, ''Charlene'']]
====''[[Charlene]]''====
{{On Notice}}
Timbal had acquired ''Charlene'', a TIE Interceptor, only relatively recently during his time as Consul. However, it has seen extensive upgrades, and cost him a lot of time and money to get done. However, it is kept in pristine condition, and is only rarely used. Exhaustive security measures ensure that only Timbal can pilot her.

Joshua J. Timbal is a former [[Consul]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] (amongst other Clan positions), one of the few Sons of Palpatine, and a Clan stalwart. Dedicated to the preservation of CSP's history, traditions, and customs, he has few peers that can match his long history with the Clan. Timbal also is the single authoritative source of information concerning the Clans' capital ship assets. He prefers to go by his given last name, Timbal.

==Character History==

=== Childhood and Early Life ===

Timbal was born into nobility on Alderaan, fifteen years before its' destruction. The sole heir to the family, he has retained some of his family's wealth, although quite a bit was squandered in his youth. The biggest event in his childhood was when his family was shamed and outraged when his father, a claimant to the Alderaanian throne, was denied his claim to it due to obscure legal reasons. It was instead given to the Organa family.

=== Young Adult Events ===

In order to "shape up" their wayward son, Timbal's parents pulled some strings and got him to join up with the Empire. Due to his political reliability, he was granted a slot at the prestigious Stormtrooper Academy in Carida, toiling away as a cadet to earn his commission as an Army Lieutenant. While away at the academy, he received news that Alderaan was destroyed, and his family was all on the planet when that happened. He instantly knew that the Rebels would commit any terrorist act to bring people to their cause, and thereby blamed the Rebellion for the loss of his family. The news devastated him, along with some of his fellow classmates from his home planet.

=== General Pilot Career ===

No longer interested in becoming a stormtrooper, Timbal dropped out of the academy and was subsequently found to be a promising candidate for starfighter training. During his starfighter training, he excelled in virtually every task that was given to him, earning an early entry to the Fleet. There, he served under the command of Vice Admiral Thrawn. He started out like all Imperial pilots, serving first as a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tie_fighter TIE Fighter] pilot, then moving up to the then-new [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tie_Interceptor TIE Interceptors], and then finally moved on to strike craft where he found his niche. He was eventually made a bomber and attack pilot trainer, a post he held for quite some time. He was in the Outer Rim serving as such when word of the defeat at Endor finally filtered down.

=== Service to the Emperor's Hammer ===

[[Image:DREAD.jpg|250px|right|thumb|DREAD ''Argonaut'' on patrol in EH space]]

Timbal at that point was bounced around various "Imperial" units for a short time until he settled down within the [[Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet]]. There he steadily rose up the ranks, finally achieving the level of a Wing Commander and obtained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He had then given up his Wing, and moved to a challenging position as a member of the elite Praetorian Squadron.

These values served him well during his reign, and the Clan prospered. Eventually, he was forced to step down, as the calling of the Force upon his personal life was too strong to ignore anymore.

Interestingly enough, during this time he was also re-married for an extremely short time. It was mainly due to a vast amount of alcohol that he had consumed with a Brotherhood friend one night, and the next day he found himself married to her, [Morrigan Jarel Lilienkamp Fey]. Although the effects of the alcohol had worn off fairly soon, they both had quite the fun time pretending to be newlyweds. Of course, Timbal wasn't officially divorced from his first wife as yet, which technically made him a polygamist and gave them grounds for an annulment. They've remained close friends since then.

It was also during this time that he was presented with another son, [[Mark Timbal]]. This development further cemented his removal from general Clan business, until he was forced to leave the Clan for a while because of it.

=== The Return ===

Now that some time has passed and the calling of the Force is now passing on to others, Timbal was now free to re-join his beloved Clan. He started to work in the shadows, helping once again to make his Clan a better place for all.

Unfortunately, during his time away the Clan had changed. He had felt that it was no longer the place that he knew; indeed, many were people he had never met or dealt with, people who were unaware of his contributions or worse, people that did not care. Disagreements with many finally convinced him to move along. For a short time he found refuge within [[Clan Tarentum]], but restlessness once again took hold, and he decided to once again find his own path in the Force. Finally, his sense of loss, loneliness, and longing brought him back to the Clan of his hearts' desire. Mending broken fences, he settled back in.

Little did he know that almost literally the next day disaster awaited.

=== The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster ===

Literally right after dumping his bags back into the HAD quarters that he had been assigned, his old friend and then-Quaestor of HAD [[RevengeX Palpatine]] invited him on board the Clan flagship ''[[Excidium]]'' for a celebration following a Rite of Supremacy that had just concluded. After jumping to the [[Antei]] system, and right after the ceremonies were concluded, an entire war fleet of Yuuzhan Vong suddenly appeared. The furious assault left millions dead, and Timbal did the best he could on the bridge of the ''Excidium'', helping to direct the defense of the ship and the Clan fleet. The final space battle in the [[Cocytus System]] was led by Timbal, accounting for the revenge strike against the hated Arconan ships that destroyed a Clan ship.

=== Operation: Reclamation and Timbal's Nine ===

After the events of the [[Yuuzhan Vong Incursion]], Timbal was supervising the piecing together of the Clans' destroyed shipyards when the call by then-Proconsul Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine came to him. Reporting in, he got word of a special operations mission that Timbal was now responsible for. Taking a few of the best members that the Clan could offer, he departed to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mon_Calamari_%28planet%29 Mon Calamari] to steal a capital starship that was readying completion. After a few adventures and with the help of a droid, they managed to steal an almost-complete ''[[Nebula-class Star Destroyer|Nebula]]''-class Star Destroyer (Later named the ''[[Excidium II]]'') from under the nose of the New Republic. They arrived shortly after the destruction of the then-existing Clan fleet during Operation: Reclamation, in which the then-existing Clan fleet engaged and destroyed a lingering Yuuzhan Vong task force. This fight however came at the cost of the destruction of the entire Clan fleet itself. Thus, the new Star Destroyer was a welcome sight to the new Consul, Phoenix Palpatine. It was during this time that Timbal took [[Xathia]] on as his Student, working with her to develop her skills as a Knight. She was Knighted and departed the Clan shortly after these events.

=== Events After the Invasion ===

[[Image:ISD_II.jpg|250px|right|thumb|ISD II ''Warspite'' on maneuvers over Antenora]]

His actions during the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion, however, did little for the Clan overall and it was a disaster in which he had felt that he had let the Clan down. However, strengthened with a new resolve to clear his honor, he has taken to helping out his Clan in any way that he can, once again preferring action over words. However, the Clan Summit had seen things differently from him, and decided to reward his dedication by naming him the Clan Fleet Admiral, as well as giving him command of the ''[[Warspite]]'', an ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_II-class_Star_Destroyer Imperial II]''-Class Star Destroyer, which itself is serving as the command ship of the Clan fleet. In addition to his command duties over the fleet and over his ship, Timbal is also currently helping to plan the new defense of the system against any other enemies, rebuilding the destroyed Clan shipyards, and the on-going training of all fleet personnel. This included the training and deployment of an entire force of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/SpecNav_Force_trooper Special Navy Force] troopers to help safeguard the new ships of the fleet. He was also given the responsibility of making arrangements for their transport in case of hostilities. In the meantime, he has taken on his fourth Student to train, [[Asani Vosa]].

=== Continued Arconan Treachery ===

After a short while, the reformed assets of the Clan military were ready for any threat. Interestingly enough, the first call to arms was in support of [Clan Plagueis] in their battle against remnant Yuuzhan Vong forces. While in transit to assist them, Arcona sprung a trap to eliminate the Clan Fleet, but under Timbal's command the Fleet gave far more than what they took, putting the entire Arconan fleet in jeopardy of being destroyed or captured.

After calling a truce, they decided to join forces against the Yuuzhan Vong, but again the Arconans reneged on their word of truce and attempted to trick both the Scholae and Plagueis fleets engage each other. However, the intervention of a [[Dark Council Order of Battle|Dark Council Fleet]] prevented a murderous battle that would have decimated all three Clans, and probably incited a war that would have engulfed the entire Brotherhood in flames.

== Profile ==

===Appearance===

Timbal strives to keep fit, as physical fitness has saved his life on quite a few occasions. Thus, his physique is overall muscular, but his pride and joy is the solid abdominal muscles that are extremely well defined. His straight black hair gets really thick and unmanageable if he lets it get too long, so he usually keeps it close-cut. He's debated going bald, but he decided to wait until it became necessary. His skin tone is usually a milk-chocolate brown, unless he spends a short time in the sun. He gets darker easily, and is fairly resistant against sunburn.

For normal day-to-day wear around the Clan, he keeps on one of his combat jumpsuits. He believes in constantly being ready, so he's usually loaded down with the usual combat gear on his jumpsuit: His lightsabre, his two sai, a few throwing stars, and of course a few flash-bang grenades. This precaution has proven its' value over and over again, so he doesn't pay attention to those that criticize him for being too paranoid.

While relaxing in his quarters or elsewhere, he's usually in a pair of work-out shorts and a simple T-shirt, and usually barefoot. However, he takes pains to ensure that his lightsabre is always by his side.

===Personality===

Timbal is usually pretty quiet, and prefers to lurk in the background. This mainly stems from his time in the Intelligence Division. He moves very quietly, sub-consciously muting any sound he makes.

He also is quite stand-offish with new people that he meets, but this is partly due to the fact that he is somewhat shy, and partly due to the fact that he usually doesn't care much about new people that he meets until they have proven themselves in some way. In a similar vein, he does not make friends easy. Those that he calls his friends truly have earned that honor, and Timbal is extremely loyal to those that he calls his friends. This reluctance to trust, however, makes it difficult for him to learn new skills in the Force.

Finally, his best trait is his odd if ever-present sense of humor. He finds humor where others do not, and is always ready with a big, if wary, smile.

===Strengths and Weaknesses===

====Strengths====

*Extremely fast learner

*Large amounts of self-confidence

*Strong willpower

*Extensive combat experience

*An "Idea Guy"

*Ready to adapt if necessary

*Great pilot

====Weaknesses====

*Slow Force learner

*Combat paranoia

*Addiction to alcohol

*Inadequate training in large-scale ground combat strategy/tactics

*Shy

*Slow to trust

===Hobbies, Penchants and Talents===

Timbal is a fanatical reader and learner. He would prefer nothing more than reading for the rest of his life if he could get away with it, but he also enjoys the occasional daring event, especially the learning of new martial skills.

He also likes to tinker with computers, droids, or anything mechanical.

Timbal's talents really lay in strategic thinking. In large scale capital ship combat, he knows few peers. He is also an excellent administrator, but he despises that role and avoids it if possible. He also is a fairly good pilot, but admits that there are quite a few that can out-fly him.

===Notable Possessions===

[[Image:Timbal_and_Charlene.jpg|250px|Right|thumb|Timbal and his T/I, ''Charlene'']]
====''[[Charlene]]''====
{{On Notice}}
Timbal had acquired ''Charlene'', a TIE Interceptor, only relatively recently during his time as Consul. However, it has seen extensive upgrades, and cost him a lot of time and money to get done. However, it is kept in pristine condition, and is only rarely used. Exhaustive security measures ensure that only Timbal can pilot her.

DJBWiki:Featured article

2008-07-29T23:45:28Z

Lambow: /* Chamber of Justice */ Adding my support

The '''featured articles''' of the wiki are articles that represent the best [[DJBWiki]] has to offer. This is ''not'' a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like.

*[[Featured article/History|History]]
*[[DJBWiki:Featured article/Queue|Queue]]

So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.

----

<big>''An article must…''</big>

#…be well written and detailed
#…be unbiased, non-point of view
#…not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
#…not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
#…have a succinct proper lead that can be used for the front page [[Template:Featured article|featured box]]
#…have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
#…have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
#…not have been previously featured

For more information on what makes a featured article, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_is_a_featured_article Wikipedia:What is a featured article].

----

<big>''How to nominate:''</big>

#First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
#Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
#Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
#The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
#Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".

<big>''How to vote:''</big>

#Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
#Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either '''support''' or '''object''' the article's nomination.
##If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
#As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
#Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".

Also remember to add {{tl|nominated}} at the top of the article you are nominating.

Every Sunday the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the [[Main Page]] as featured, marked with the {{tl|featured}} template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the {{tl|featured article}} template. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.

==Featured article nominations==

'''Support''' --[[User:Mal'ari'carun|Alaric]] 20:25, 27 June 2008 (MDT)

'''Weak Support''' - Aren't Clan Powers under revision? --[[User:Draken 'Ylith' Atema|Draken 'Ylith' Atema]] 12:45, 28 June 2008 (MDT)

'''Weak Object''' - As I recall, the whole clan power system is under revision, as Ylith said. I don't think an article that will likely soon become obsolete is suitable for a featured article. Another thing, I don't think Force Push should be a clan power since it's one of the most well known and widely used power across SW. Beside the problems with the subject though, it has been very well written. [[User:Impetus|Impie]] 01:28, 30 June 2008 (MDT)

'''Weak Object''' - I believe this should wait until the Clan Powers system is revamped and this article gets a chance to be re-written. It really is a nicely written article, though. [[User:Timbal|Timbal]] 10:23, 17 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Weak Support''' This is a very nice article, but, as the three above said, Clan Powers are being revised. -- [[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 06:14, 19 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Weak Object''' - I agree with the above --[[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 01:59, 29 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Support''' --[[User:Dismal|Dismal]] 02:08, 2 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Support''' Could be a bit longer, but looks good. --[[user:Macron|Macron]] 11:57, 3 July 2008 (EST)

'''Weak Object''' Its not a bad startbut it need a whole lot more to become featured. Maybe some more info about your character. Personality, clothing, weapons, why he uses those specifically, you name it. Try to give it more detail instead of just a history summary.

[edit]: It's better, but it could still use some detail on your character itself. Personality, skills, trade maybe? Give a clear image of your character so others can use it in say, the ACC or Run ons. You're on the right track though. My vote stays the same. --[[User:Draken 'Ylith' Atema|Draken 'Ylith' Atema]] 12:24, 5 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Weak Object''' Again, this is a decent start to what could be an eventual featured article, but at the moment it's a bit weak. Basically, this is just a second of Ylith's objection. --[[user:Alaris|Alaris Jinn]] 2:21, 14 July 2008 (EST)

'''Weak Object''' - I agree with Draken, it does need a bit more. Right now it's a decent article, but it's not Featured Article worthy. [[User:Timbal|Timbal]] 10:31, 17 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Weak Support''' It has all of the "necessary" attributes for a Featured article, but you should take Ylith's advice. -- [[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 06:14, 19 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Revised''' -- I've revised my wiki. Check it out and amend objects/supports as needed. --[[User:Laigerick|Laigerick]] 11:46, 23 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Object''' - You have sections listed as Under Construction that should be written before this is featured --[[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 01:54, 29 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Object''' Could do with an introduction. [[User:Impetus|Impie]] 13:00, 17 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Object''' It needs an introduction and simply more "meat." A few more pictures wouldn't hurt either. -- [[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 06:14, 19 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Object''' - I agree with the above. Intro, and it's just looks wordy and bland, something pics usually solve. It's just doesn't look like a featured article... yet... --[[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 02:00, 29 July 2008 (MDT)
