Laren Uscot was a male [[starwars:Pantoran|Pantoran]] mercenary in the employ of Hyperdyne Industries, under the shadow-control of Clan [[Plagueis]]. His role was unofficial, as his specialty of work was as a bounty hunter. Laren could be described as a witty, somewhat annoying sentient. Laren used his understanding of social skills and his wit at inappropriate or pressured situations to distract his enemies from his true goals and abilities. His primary advantage was seemingly being harmless, yet clearly not unintelligent. In battle or when hunting a target, he was passionate and utterly ruthless. His traditional [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] training had given him an understanding that the hunt for his victims was a challenge he had to overcome and learn from, no matter the consequences to those around him.

NPC Character Sheet Guidelines

2017-09-13T03:11:31Z

Laren Uscot: /* Additional Character Slot Guidelines and Procedures */ added images from an old report (Voice Update 9)

{{Eras|real}}

These '''NPC Character Sheet Guidelines''' outline how NPC Character Sheets are managed in the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. This includes conditions by which members will be granted NPC Character Sheets as well as when and in what manner they should be utilized. These guidelines are maintained by the [[Voice of the Brotherhood]] and their staff.

Beyond creating a Character Sheet, members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood are able to purchase additional non-player character slots (NPCs). These NPCs mirror and follow the same guidelines and procedures as the [[Character Sheet|Character Sheets]] with a few small differences that are detailed in this guideline.

'''Please note:'''

* Members are still free to create and develop any characters they wish as additional non-player characters through user-created wiki articles and stubs.

== Additional Character Slot Guidelines and Procedures ==

In the Dark Jedi Brotherhood’s Fiction System, a member creates a '''dossier''' that is then tied to their '''Main Character.''' This Main Character is tied not only to the name on a member’s dossier, but to the robes, lightsaber, titles, and earned graphics that can be displayed on it. Every member is allowed to create a '''Character Sheet''' for their Main Character, which appears as the '''“Current Character Sheet”''' on the Character Sheet Tab of the dossier. Every member is then able to build out their Main Character's '''Inventory''' through the ''''Possessions System'''' where they can then create a series of ''''Loadouts.''''

=== NPC Guidelines ===

Members are able to spend their hard-earned credits on various things including weapons, armor, and even ships. Depending on rank, members also have the ability to purchase up to three (3) Additional Character Slots that can be used to create inventories and Character Sheets for '''Non-Player (Support) Characters.'''

[[File:NPCChar1.png|thumb|centre|550px|Selecting an additional character.]]

Alternatively, the first (and only the first) Additional Character Slot can be switched from '''Non-Player Character''' mode to '''Alternative Character''' mode, which allows members to explore different characters without “losing” their Main Character and the identity connected to it. '''Alternative Characters''' give creative freedom to writers that want to take a break from their Main Character.

'''Please Note:'''

* Alternative Characters may be used as the primary character in Fiction or Run-On activity, but it needs to be made explicitly clear on the submission or starting Run-On post that an '''Alternative Character''' is to be used instead of a '''Main Character.'''. When you plan on using your '''Alternative Character''' in any '''manually staff-created''' ACC Battle, for example in an ACC ''Tournament'' or ''Bracket'', please '''closely''' observe and follow the rules of said competition, as the ACC staff needs to explicitly tell the site to use your alternative character '''prior''' to starting each battle.

* In addition, for all intents and purposes, any positions held by a dossier are considered to be held by the '''Main Character''' and never by the '''Alternative Character''' of that dossier.

* Society rankings or rewards, such as Feats or Items, may also carry over to a '''Non-Player Character'''.

* All '''Non-Player Characters''' are designated as Unaffiliated to any unit, and should adhere to a given unit's restrictions, such as in the case of Path restrictions, if they are to be considered a "member" of that unit.

=== Additional Character Slot Access ===
Members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood are able to purchase their first additional character slot upon reaching the rank of '''[[EQ1|Equite I]]''' for a fixed cost of ''20,000'' credits. This NPC is set and mirrors the member's rank.

[[File:NPCChar4.jpg|thumb|centre|550px|This will bring you to a page where you can purchase your Additional slots. Once purchased, you will have a few different options available to you.]]

Members are able to purchase their second additional character slot upon reaching the rank of '''[[EQ3|Equite III]]''' for a fixed cost of ''40,000'' credits. This NPC is set to two ranks below the member’s rank.

Members are able to purchase their third additional character slot at the rank of '''[[EL1|Elder I]]''' for the fixed cost of ''60,000'' credits. This NPC is set four ranks below the member’s rank.

[[File:NPCChar2.png|thumb|centre|550px|Purchasing and managing multiple character slots.]]

==== Interface ====

* '''Purchase''' - Allows a member to purchase the slot.
* '''Manage''' - Provides a drop down menu with three or four options depending on the slot:
** '''Character Sheet''' - Opens the Character Creation Tool to build your NPC CS.
** '''Loadouts''' - Allows you to delegate Possessions Inventory to the NPC.
** '''Character Details''' - Where a member can select name, gender, path, and order.
** '''Toggle to (Alt/NPC)''' - First slot only - toggles the slot between Alternative Character and NPC designation

[[File:NPCChar3.png|thumb|centre|550px|The final result should look something like this!]]

==== Approval ====

All NPC Sheets are submitted to the Voice Staff for review and approval. Please see the [[Character Sheet Approval Guidelines]] for more information on this process.

'''Please note:'''

* This means that non-existent or Grandfathered [[CS Guide: Species|Species]] in the system are not available for NPC characters created through the Additional Character Slots.

==== Naming ====

While it is true that names hold great power, they also come with a level of responsibility. All NPC Character Sheets are approved by the Voice of the Brotherhood and mirror the guidelines and policy set forth by the [[Master at Arms]]. You can view the policy on names [[MAA_Policies#Names|here]].

'''In summary:
'''
* When creating names for your NPC, please avoid titles such as "Lord", "Grand Admiral", or an existing honorific like "Darth" that is reserved as a reward for the Brotherhood's most decorated members.
* NPC names must be a first and/or last name. This means that they cannot be a nickname, callsign, or codename. These designations can be covered in Custom Aspects.

== Types of NPCs ==

NPCs fall into the following categories for organizational purposes.

=== Training and Education ===
Character Sheets are created for NPCs that are not considered part of Brotherhood Canon for the purposes of training and educating members on using these Character Sheets. This includes training in the [[Antei Combat Center]] as well the [[Shadow Academy]] for their respective duties. These NPC Character Sheets will be owned by either the [[Voice of the Brotherhood]] or [[Headmaster]] and their staffs.

===Rite of Supremacy / Great Jedi War===
Character Sheets are created for NPCs that are active in the plot of either a Rite of Supremacy or Great Jedi War [[Vendetta]], where they show up in competition prompts and interact with members in works of fiction. These NPC Character Sheets will be owned by the [[Voice of the Brotherhood]] and their staff and their persistence beyond the conclusion of a Vendetta at their discretion depending on future plans.

===Clan Feud / Sanctioned Competition===
Character Sheets are created for NPCs that are active in the plot of either a Clan Feud or Sanctioned Competition [[Vendetta]], where they show up in competition prompts and interact with members in works of fiction. These NPC Character Sheets will be owned by the members on the [[Clan_Summit|summits]] of the [[Clan|Clans]] for the duration of the events. These NPC Character Sheets will need to be reviewed at the conclusion of the event to become either part of a Clan Storyline (see below) or transferred in ownership to the [[Voice of the Brotherhood]] staff to become part of larger future Vendetta activities such as a Rite of Supremacy or Great Jedi War (see above).

===Individual Clan Usage===
Character Sheets are created for NPCs for [[Clan]] usage for two different reasons: Clan Events and Clan Storyline. All NPC Character Sheets intended for use by a Clan must go through an approval process, as described below, before being granted.

====Clan Event====
Character Sheets are created for NPCs that are active in the plot of a Clan Event, where they show up in the competition prompts and interact with members in works of fiction where an entire Clan is involved, but only a single Clan. Clan Event NPCs exist primarily to help members in writing major characters that take place in only a single event, and are not meant to see substantial fictional development. These NPC Character Sheets will be owned by the members on the [[Clan_Summit|summits]] of the [[Clan|Clans]] for the duration of the events. The ownership of these NPC Character Sheets will be transferred to the [[Voice of the Brotherhood]] and their staff at the conclusion of the events where they can be reviewed to either become part of a Clan Storyline (see below) or otherwise removed at the their discretion.

====Clan Storyline====
Character Sheets are created for NPCs that are active in the plot and fictional story of a [[Clan]], where they show up in competition prompts and interact with members of the Clan in works of fiction as a major protagonist or antagonist over the course of multiple events and substantial time. Clan Storyline NPCs are meant to develop over time and "respond" to the fictional actions within the units. These NPC characters are meant to be recurring important characters active in shaping a Clan's story. These NPC Character Sheets will be owned and maintained by a member of the [[Clan_Summit|summits]] of the [[Clan|Clans]] who will be responsible for upkeep of the Character Sheet and corresponding wiki article. Failure to upkeep or utilize an NPC could see that NPC Character Sheet revoked. In general, Clan Storyline NPCs will be under tighter restrictions than Clan Event NPCs.

====Requirements====
The following required details must be submitted via email to the [[Voice of the Brotherhood]] with the [[Deputy Grand Master]] and [[Grand Master]] on copy as part of the process to get an NPC Character Sheet initially approved.
* Name, [[Paths of the Brotherhood|Path]], [[Orders of the Brotherhood|Order]], [[Ranks|Rank]], Species
* Link to a full wiki article not considered [[Template:Construction|under construction]] that is created for the character that includes a biography, philosophy, appearance and personality.
* Relevance to the Clan plot and what role they will play in competitions and interactions with members.
* Why a member of the Clan cannot fill the fictional role of this NPC.
* If a Clan has existing NPC Character Sheets already, list them here and the active roles they are playing that require a new addition.

DJB Guide: Report Writing

=== Reports & News Posts ===

The following documentation will cover the technical process behind writing a basic report for the [[Dark Brotherhood|Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. It will outline the standard operating procedures and best practice from the top level leadership. This article aims to show you the basic do’s and don'ts of report writing, and is by no means an all encompassing be-all end-all for the way leaders in the Brotherhood go about creating reports. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own unique style and voice to their reports, and as long as the rules and guidelines are observed, it is very rare that an administrator would ask for something to be changed or in the most extreme of cases deleted from the website.

While reports are expected from higher tier positions, they are not required at every level. Each Independent Unit tends to approach reports differently, with some units treating their respective positions differently. As a general rule of thumb and good habit, it is always best to check with your [[Clan]] or [[House]] [[Clan Summit|Summit]] with questions about creating and posting reports.

[[File:Reportwriting1.png|500px|thumb|center|Report graphic for the Grand Master.]]

==== Reports ====

A report is an informative piece of published documentation by a leader in the Brotherhood that aims to announce, share, and/or explain information relative to their respective position or society. Reports can be broken up into the following types:

'''Dark Council''' - Reports put out by the members of the [[Dark Council]]. These reports tend to focus on each Councilor’s area of expertise and the section of the club that they oversee.

'''Unit''' - Reports put out by the independent units that make up the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. This covers everything from entry level Battleteam Leader reports to top level Consul reports.

'''Society''' - Reports put out by society leaders that cover news and updates relative to their society (Wikipedia, [[Antei Combat Center]], etc.)

Reports are released by a leader on some kind of determined schedule cycle. For example, a report can be released bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly. Consistency is king, as the general membership relies heavily on the announcements, shared details, and explanations of changes/events to not only keep up with the changes in the club, but also to know why things are changing.

==== News Posts ====
[[File:Reportwriting2.png|500px|thumb|center|What you see from a news post on the main page.]]

A news post is anything that gets published to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood’s website and appears on the main page: https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com. This means that any report that gets posted through the site administration is posted live as a newspost.

Please make sure to review the [[News Page Policies and Best Practices]] page to ensure your report is meeting the standard expectations and rules. This page also has great information that will be highlighted for reference in this article.

Additionally, you can view previously published reports in the [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/archive News Archives].

[[File:Reportwriting3.png|500px|thumb|center|The News Archives.]]

=== Report Content ===

What do leaders put in their reports? Report content is entirely dependent on the information being presented, which ties into the expectations and responsibilities of the position. These expectations are usually outlined in the job description, with influence drawn from predecessors to the position and/or reader feedback. The following section breaks down the suggested content recommended by the Dark Council to be included in reports posted to the news page.

==== Outlining ====

A standard report should follow some kind of outline. The recommended starting point from the Dark Council is as follows:

# Introduction
# News and Updates
# Member Recognition
# Q&A / Feedback
# Conclusion/Summary

You are in no way restricted to this outline, but again this is recommended as a starting point from which you can build and expand your reports.

==== Dark Council Reports ====

Each Dark Councilor represents a different facet of the club. They cover topics that relate to their job, and are expected to alert members to any impactful changes that affect how their respective facet is handled.

For example:

* '''[[Grand Master]] Reports''' will tend to cover wider topics that affect the club on the whole. As the leader of the entire organization, Grand Master reports usually include major changes in leadership, policy, or provide roadmaps to the future of the club.

* '''[[Fist of the Brotherhood|FIST]] Reports''' will tend to cover information, announcements, and updates on everything relating to Gaming in the club. This includes approved platforms, cluster balancing, as well as gaming competition administration.

* '''[[Voice of the Brotherhood|VOICE]] Reports''' will tend to cover information, announcements, and updates on everything relating to the Fictional Society and Fiction System. This includes character sheets as well as fiction, run ons and other competition administration.

==== Unit Reports ====

Independent Units — which refers to the Clans, Houses, and sub-teams that make up the DJB — have a set command structure. The entry level positions start at [[Battleteam Leader]], where the member is placed in charge of a small unit, all the way up to [[Consul]], responsible for leading the entire Clan.

While each Consul sets the tone, schedule, and execution of reports, the Dark Council has a best practice outline it likes to direct members at. As with any report, a leader will bring their own unique style and flavor to their reports, and these are by no means an attempt to mandate how any leader writes their report.

The current positions within an Independent Unit that are able to publish reports are listed below. Some units chose not to employ certain positions, and not all units carry the same expectation for reports. Each position below, however, is paired with the best practice suggestions from the Dark Council.

===== Battleteam Leader =====

“BTL” Reports are where new leaders get their start, and where more than a few learn to write their first news posts. The position is designed as an introduction to leadership at the Unit level and starts with responsibilities that tend to cover a small sub-unit, or team, within a Clan or House. A typical Battleteam Leader report should cover:

''(Suggested)''
* New information or announcements that pertain to the [[Battleteam]].
* Roster moves: new members in, old members moving out?
* Where is the team fictionally? Where is the team out of character as a group?
* Rewards and Recognition: highlight accomplishments by members in competition awards, merit, awards, and other milestones or achievements.
* Battleteam Competitions.
* Clan/House level competitions.

''(Additional)''
* Fiction Updates
* AskTheBTL / Question and Answers section
* DB-wide competitions
* DB-wide news and reports.

Examples:

* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-shadow-s-bane-battleteam-leader-report-3 Shadow Banes Battleteam Report 3] (BTL Report, [[Clan Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]])
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-tacitus-athanasius-report-13 Tactius Athanasius Report #13] (BTL Report, [[Clan Scholae Palatinae|Scholae Palatinae]])
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-shadow-gate-february-report Shadow Gate February] Report (BTL Report, [[Clan Arcona|Arcona]])

===== Rollmaster =====

“RM” reports tend to have a singular focus on presenting information and updates relevant to their position. While each Independent Unit will articulate the role and purpose of the [[Rollmaster|RM]] differently, this role has traditionally been tasked with the oversight of new members joining the Independent Unit and settling into the Brotherhood. They will often guide new members and establish relationships between veterans and newer members to assist in the process of integration into the club.

This means that typically, a Rollmaster report will talk about:

''(Suggested)''
* New member joins and introductions.
* [[Journeymen|Journeyman]] activity, advancements, and accomplishments.
* Roster movement: Members that have come and gone.

''(Additional)''
* Clan Updates and reports.
* House Updates and reports.

Examples:

* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-arcona-rollmaster-round-up-eighth-report-for-the-ninth-month Arcona Rollmaster Roundup: Eight Report] (RM Report, Arcona)
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-cou-rollmistress-report-3-for-the-glory-of-odan-urr-and-shinies COU Rollmistress Report #3] (RM Report, [[Clan Odan-Urr|Odan-Urr]])

===== Aedile and Quaestor =====

“AED” and “QUA” Reports often vary depending on the unit or leadership team dynamic. Sometimes [[Aedile|Aediles]] and [[Quaestor|Quaestors]] will do joint House-level Reports, and sometimes they can alternate writing one or the other. House-level reports tend to address multiple subunits, or at least are targeted at a wider audience than just a single Battleteam. This means that the level of detail and quality carries increased expectations. These expectations are different between each Unit’s command structure. As such, the following best practices are flexible between both positions. A House-level report usually covers:

''(Suggested)''
* New information or announcements that pertain to the House.
* Roster moves: new members in, old members moving out?
* Where is the House fictionally? Where is the team out of character as a group?
* Plans for the future? Upcoming events?
* Rewards and Recognition: highlight accomplishments by members of the House in competition earnings, merit awards, exams passed, and other milestones or achievements.
* BTL/House/Clan level news.
* BTL/House/Clan level competitions.
* DB-wide news and reports.
* DB-wide competitions.

''(Optional)''
* House Fiction updates.
* AskTheQUA or AED / Questions and Answers section.

Examples:
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-february-qel-droma-report February Qel-Droma Report] (House Report, Arcona)
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-house-excidium-report-5-a-solid-foundation House Excidium Report #5: A Solid Foundation] (House Report, Scholae Palatinae)
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-hap-quaestor-report-february-2017 HAP Quaestor Report - February 2017] (QUA Report, [[Clan Plagueis|Plagueis]])
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-october-qua-report October QUA Report] (QUA Report, Odan Urr)

===== Proconsul and Consul =====

“PCON” and “CON” Reports often vary depending on the unit or leadership team dynamic. Sometimes [[Proconsul]] and Consul will do joint Clan-level Reports, and sometimes they can alternate writing one or the other. Clan-level reports focus on issues that affect the entire unit, as well as provide introspection and awareness of what goes on outside the Clan across the Brotherhood and with other units. Members usually look to Clan-level reports to gain information on how the larger DB applies to them. As such, the following best practices are flexible between both positions. A Clan-level report usually covers:

* New information or announcements that pertain to the entire Clan.
* Roster moves: new members in, old members moving out?
* Where is the Clan fictionally? Where is the team out of character as a group?
* Plans for the future? Upcoming events?
* Rewards and Recognition: highlight accomplishments by members of the Clan in competition earnings, merit awards, exams passed, and other milestones or achievements.
* BTL/House/Clan level news and reports.
* BTL/House/Clan level competitions.
* Inter-Unit news, job openings, competitions, and events.
* DB-wide news and reports.
* DB-wide competitions.

''(Optional)''
* Clan Fiction updates.
* AskTheCON or PCON / Questions and Answers section.

Examples:

* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-arcona-consul-report-15-the-special-hell Arcona Consul Report #15: The Special Hell] (Consul Report, Clan Arcona)

==== Society Reports ====

Currently, the two society reports that are active in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood are: [[Combat Master]] (ACC administration) and [[Wiki Tribune]] (Wikipedia administration). As these positions are held by members that have demonstrated a masterful understanding and command over their society, they each handle reports in their own manners.

Examples:

* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-combat-master-6-help-me-help-you Combat Master #6: Help Me... Help You...] (Combat Master Report by [[Atra Ventus]])
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-wiki-tribune-report-7-new-year-new-canon Wiki Tribune Report #7: New Year, New Canon] (Wiki Tribune Report by [[Selika Roh]])
=== Writing the Report ===

When writing a report, there are a few different tools you can use. The most popular and common one — that is available to all members and completely free — is [http://drive.google.com/ Google Docs]. Google Docs allow you to easily share your reports with your supervisors or friends to get approval, feedback, or proofreading before posting. Alternatively, you can write your report in your word processor of choice with things like Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, or even a simple Word Pad.

Since the Dark Jedi Brotherhood website leverages Markdown coding for reports and news posts, you can alternatively — or additionally — take advantage of Markdown Preview editors. This allows you to type on one side of the screen and play with code while generating a preview of how it will look when posted. The Dark Council recommends:

* [http://dillinger.io/ Dillinger] - One of the best preview tools available. Great save features, streamlined and easy to use.
* [https://stackedit.io/editor Stack Edit] - Full featured preview tool with example template.
* [http://socrates.io/ Socrates] - Super minimalist design. Easy to share with others.

'''Note''': It is always wise to have your reports proofread by at least one other person. This can be a friend you trust, or your supervisor, but proofreading is '''strongly''' recommended.

==== Formatting ====

Formatting is the key to making your reports not only aesthetically appealing to a reader. It also makes them clear and easy to read. The more clear and concise your report is formatted, the better chance of not losing or confusing the members you want reading the report you worked so hard on!

As stated above, the website takes advantage of Markdown coding, which you can learn all about in the following Shadow Academy Exams: [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/shadow_academy/courses/86 Markdown 101] and [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/shadow_academy/courses/100 Markdown 102]. It is highly recommended to complete these courses prior to writing a report. These courses are quick, informative, and educational. They will help create a foundation for your ability to write clear and easy to read reports.

For the purpose of focusing on the presentation of a report, this article will highlight the fundamental elements of Markdown that come in handy when writing a report.

===== Headers =====

Headers are important because they help break up information and create definitive starts and stops to topics throughout the report. Reports are read from top to bottom, so anytime you’re going to change subjects it is good to insert a header. Headers are handled by using a different count of pound (#) signs.

You can also separate sections using the '''insert line'''. You can trigger this by using 5 consecutive dashes “-----”. Make sure to include a line break before and after (press enter before and then after).

===== Bullet Points, Numbered Lists =====

A good way to break up talking points or to make a list of information easier to read is by using bullet points or numbered lists.

* You can use bullet points by using an asterisk (*) or a dash (-) followed by a space.

* You can create a numeric list by using a number followed by a period (1.) followed by a space.

<nowiki> * Topic 1 </nowiki><br>
<nowiki> * Topic 2 </nowiki>

<nowiki> 1. Topic 1 </nowiki><br>
<nowiki> 2. Topic 2 </nowiki>

Usually, lists will trigger their formatting automatically. If for some reason they do not, make sure to add a double space after each point.

===== Hyperlinks, Bold, Italics =====

Using bold and italics is a great way to help emphasize points you want to drive home in your report. To '''bold''' or ''italicize'' something in Markdown, you can use the following code:

<nowiki>*Italics* / _Italics_</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>**Bold** / __Bold__</nowiki>

A hyperlink is a highlighted piece of text on a webpage that, when clicked, brings you to another web page. Hyperlinks are important because they can help easily route readers to information that might be useful. To insert hyperlinks in Markdown, you can use the following code:

<nowiki>[Hyperlink Text](http://webpage.com)</nowiki>

===== Inserting Images and Gifs =====

![alt text](https:imageurl.png)

'''Important''': Images and gifs must be “https” secure. Most popular images will use https, but if you run into issues you can use sites like [http://imgur.com/ imgur] to host a secure image or gif.

'''Important''': Images and gifs must include the filename in the url (.jpg, .png, .gif) in order to work. Using a .com, or any other website extension will not work.

===== Centering Images =====
While everyone has their own styles, the best practice and common style for reports is to center images. You can do this using the following markdown coding.

-> Centered Image <-

Anything else will default to Left-aligned. If you want to Right-align an image you can use the “->” arrow by itself.

-> Right-aligned Image

=== Creating a Report ===
[[File:Reportwriting4.png|500px|thumb|center|Snapshot of the Administration panel.]]

To post/publish your report to the main page, head over to the '''Administration Menu''' -> Navigate to: “'''News and Reports'''” -> and then select: “'''Manage News and Reports'''”.

[[File:Reportwriting5.png|500px|thumb|center|The create post menu from the Administration page.]]

==== Naming Reports (Title) ====

As a best practice, the Dark Council recommends the following format when creating reports for the news page.

> [Unit Name] [Report] [Report #] - [Title/Subject] (Optional)

Alternatively, you can change things up according to your preference and style. You can reference the date and/or the month, lead with a catchy title, or switch around the order of the above example. Keep in mind when using months by themselves, however, that you run the potential risk of lapping yourself and running into having duplicate “May Rainbow Squadron” reports. Which is fine, if you’re into that kind of thing, of course.

The important thing is to make sure you are in some way including the name or position in your title so that anyone scrolling through a list of reports knows how to easily identify what kind of report you’ve created and posted.

==== Choosing a Category ====

For reports, you are going to always want to use the “Reports” category. This keeps reports separate from newposts that announce things such as the new Star Wars trailer that just came out or major announcement that we want outside viewers to see.

For information on the other categories, refer to the [[News Page Policies and Best Practices]] page.

In the field right below it, you select your leadership position as the “Context” that you will be posting the report under.

=== Context ===

The context field here pertains to the position you are posting from. You will be provided a drop down box that gives you a selection of multiple positions. If you’re a Battleteam Leader, you would select “Battleteam Leader” for contex. If you’re a member of the Shadow Academy Staff, you select “Shadow Academy: Professor (Assistants)".

=== Rolling News banner ===

Rolling news banners are displayed at the top of the main page for https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com and work on a horizontal carousel.

[[File:Reportwriting6.JPG|500px|thumb|center|Example of a rolling news banner.]]

==== Body ====

This is where you copy and paste your report when you’re ready to see what it looks like and then post it. This should include the content outlined in the above section.

=== Tag List ===

Tags allow you to easily identify and sort reports when searching through the archives. It also can affect how hashtags get implemented when reports are posted to social media.

For information on Tag Lists, refer to the [[News Page Policies and Best Practices]] page.

=== Comment Method ===
There are three options for how report comments are handled. You may select comments to be local, linked on discourse, or disabled.

''Local comments'' appear under the report itself on the main page. This is the standard method for allowing commentary on reports from your peers.

[[File:Reportwriting7.png|500px|thumb|center|The local comments found under a report.]]

''Discourse comments'' link to our discourse forum. This is usually used for reports that want to take advantage of engaging with members on topics covered in the report itself.

[[File:Reportwriting8.png|500px|thumb|center|An example of the discourse report.]]

''Disabled comments'' is used for when you post a report that you do not wish anyone to leave comments. This is usually done when a decision is shared from the top executive level and isn’t open for further discussion from the membership.

[[File:Reportwriting9.png|500px|thumb|center|Disabled comments.]]

Only members of the Brotherhood are able to comment on reports. As a best practice, be polite when responding to report comments, even if members get aggressive or use language that makes you feel uncomfortable. If you feel that someone has violated the [[Covenant|Dark Covenant]] in your report comments, make sure you reach out to the [[Justicar]] and the Hands of Justice. The Brotherhood has a zero tolerance policy on harassment.

=== Publishing ===

Once you’re done writing and formatting your report, it's time to publish it and post it to the site.

Before posting, you should '''always''' make sure to preview your report. The Preview window will show you a preview of what your report will look like once it is posted to the main page. This is a great way to check for formatting errors that either show up when copying over from a word/google document, or even minor coding blips that can occur between a markdown preview tool. In short, no matter how/where you are writing your reports, the Preview window will give you an exact example of what your report will look like!

[[File:Reportwriting10.png|500px|thumb|center|The preview function can be found at the bottom of a written report.]]

==== Editing A News Post ====

Caught a mistake that you missed when previewing your report? Wanted to go back in and clarify something? Don’t panic. Once a report is posted to the news page, you can easily edit it from your administration menu. Any edits made will update the currently posted newspost, overwriting the previous version. You can edit a report as many times as you need, and no duplicate copies are made when updating a report in this manner.

=== Summary ===

The easiest way to tie everything together is to demonstrate how a basic report should look. To that end, we’ve created a [https://goo.gl/H19AWm Dark Jedi Brotherhood Report Template] that you can use to help write your own reports.

You can view the [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-shadow-academy-example-report-1 Example Report] here from the News Archive.

=== Conclusion ===

By following this guide, and the best practices outlined within it, you should feel confident in either writing your first report, or implementing a new trick you learned into your existing reports. As with most skills, report writing becomes easier the more and more you do it. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to have your superior or a trusted friend read over your report.

DJB Guide: Report Writing

2017-07-06T21:24:26Z

Laren Uscot:

{{DJBguidenav}}

=== Reports & News Posts ===

The following documentation will cover the technical process behind writing a basic report for the [[Dark Brotherhood|Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. It will outline the standard operating procedures and best practice from the top level leadership. This article aims to show you the basic do’s and don'ts of report writing, and is by no means an all encompassing be-all end-all for the way leaders in the Brotherhood go about creating reports. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own unique style and voice to their reports, and as long as the rules and guidelines are observed, it is very rare that an administrator would ask for something to be changed or in the most extreme of cases deleted from the website.

While reports are expected from higher tier positions, they are not required at every level. Each Independent Unit tends to approach reports differently, with some units treating their respective positions differently. As a general rule of thumb and good habit, it is always best to check with your [[Clan]] or [[House]] [[Clan Summit|Summit]] with questions about creating and posting reports.

[[File:Reportwriting1.png|500px|thumb|center|Report graphic for the Grand Master.]]

==== Reports ====

A report is an informative piece of published documentation by a leader in the Brotherhood that aims to announce, share, and/or explain information relative to their respective position or society. Reports can be broken up into the following types:

'''Dark Council''' - Reports put out by the members of the [[Dark Council]]. These reports tend to focus on each Councilor’s area of expertise and the section of the club that they oversee.

'''Unit''' - Reports put out by the independent units that make up the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. This covers everything from entry level Battleteam Leader reports to top level Consul reports.

'''Society''' - Reports put out by society leaders that cover news and updates relative to their society (Wikipedia, [[Antei Combat Center]], etc.)

Reports are released by a leader on some kind of determined schedule cycle. For example, a report can be released bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly. Consistency is king, as the general membership relies heavily on the announcements, shared details, and explanations of changes/events to not only keep up with the changes in the club, but also to know why things are changing.

==== News Posts ====
[[File:Reportwriting2.png|500px|thumb|center|What you see from a news post on the main page.]]

A news post is anything that gets published to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood’s website and appears on the main page: https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com. This means that any report that gets posted through the site administration is posted live as a newspost.

Please make sure to review the [[News Page Policies and Best Practices]] page to ensure your report is meeting the standard expectations and rules. This page also has great information that will be highlighted for reference in this article.

Additionally, you can view previously published reports in the [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/archive News Archives].

[[File:Reportwriting3.png|500px|thumb|center|The News Archives.]]

=== Report Content ===

What do leaders put in their reports? Report content is entirely dependent on the information being presented, which ties into the expectations and responsibilities of the position. These expectations are usually outlined in the job description, with influence drawn from predecessors to the position and/or reader feedback. The following section breaks down the suggested content recommended by the Dark Council to be included in reports posted to the news page.

==== Outlining ====

A standard report should follow some kind of outline. The recommended starting point from the Dark Council is as follows:

# Introduction
# News and Updates
# Member Recognition
# Q&A / Feedback
# Conclusion/Summary

You are in no way restricted to this outline, but again this is recommended as a starting point from which you can build and expand your reports.

==== Dark Council Reports ====

Each Dark Councilor represents a different facet of the club. They cover topics that relate to their job, and are expected to alert members to any impactful changes that affect how their respective facet is handled.

For example:

* '''[[Grand Master]] Reports''' will tend to cover wider topics that affect the club on the whole. As the leader of the entire organization, Grand Master reports usually include major changes in leadership, policy, or provide roadmaps to the future of the club.

* '''[[Fist of the Brotherhood|FIST]] Reports''' will tend to cover information, announcements, and updates on everything relating to Gaming in the club. This includes approved platforms, cluster balancing, as well as gaming competition administration.

* '''[[Voice of the Brotherhood|VOICE]] Reports''' will tend to cover information, announcements, and updates on everything relating to the Fictional Society and Fiction System. This includes character sheets as well as fiction, run ons and other competition administration.

==== Unit Reports ====

Independent Units — which refers to the Clans, Houses, and sub-teams that make up the DJB — have a set command structure. The entry level positions start at [[Battleteam Leader]], where the member is placed in charge of a small unit, all the way up to [[Consul]], responsible for leading the entire Clan.

While each Consul sets the tone, schedule, and execution of reports, the Dark Council has a best practice outline it likes to direct members at. As with any report, a leader will bring their own unique style and flavor to their reports, and these are by no means an attempt to mandate how any leader writes their report.

The current positions within an Independent Unit that are able to publish reports are listed below. Some units chose not to employ certain positions, and not all units carry the same expectation for reports. Each position below, however, is paired with the best practice suggestions from the Dark Council.

===== Battleteam Leader =====

“BTL” Reports are where new leaders get their start, and where more than a few learn to write their first news posts. The position is designed as an introduction to leadership at the Unit level and starts with responsibilities that tend to cover a small sub-unit, or team, within a Clan or House. A typical Battleteam Leader report should cover:

''(Suggested)''
* New information or announcements that pertain to the [[Battleteam]].
* Roster moves: new members in, old members moving out?
* Where is the team fictionally? Where is the team out of character as a group?
* Rewards and Recognition: highlight accomplishments by members in competition awards, merit, awards, and other milestones or achievements.
* Battleteam Competitions.
* Clan/House level competitions.

''(Additional)''
* Fiction Updates
* AskTheBTL / Question and Answers section
* DB-wide competitions
* DB-wide news and reports.

Examples:

* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-shadow-s-bane-battleteam-leader-report-3 Shadow Banes Battleteam Report 3] (BTL Report, [[Clan Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]])
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-tacitus-athanasius-report-13 Tactius Athanasius Report #13] (BTL Report, [[Clan Scholae Palatinae|Scholae Palatinae]])
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-shadow-gate-february-report Shadow Gate February] Report (BTL Report, [[Clan Arcona|Arcona]])

===== Rollmaster =====

“RM” reports tend to have a singular focus on presenting information and updates relevant to their position. While each Independent Unit will articulate the role and purpose of the [[Rollmaster|RM]] differently, this role has traditionally been tasked with the oversight of new members joining the Independent Unit and settling into the Brotherhood. They will often guide new members and establish relationships between veterans and newer members to assist in the process of integration into the club.

This means that typically, a Rollmaster report will talk about:

''(Suggested)''
* New member joins and introductions.
* [[Journeymen|Journeyman]] activity, advancements, and accomplishments.
* Roster movement: Members that have come and gone.

''(Additional)''
* Clan Updates and reports.
* House Updates and reports.

Examples:

* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-arcona-rollmaster-round-up-eighth-report-for-the-ninth-month Arcona Rollmaster Roundup: Eight Report] (RM Report, Arcona)
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-cou-rollmistress-report-3-for-the-glory-of-odan-urr-and-shinies COU Rollmistress Report #3] (RM Report, [[Clan Odan-Urr|Odan-Urr]])

===== Aedile and Quaestor =====

“AED” and “QUA” Reports often vary depending on the unit or leadership team dynamic. Sometimes [[Aedile|Aediles]] and [[Quaestor|Quaestors]] will do joint House-level Reports, and sometimes they can alternate writing one or the other. House-level reports tend to address multiple subunits, or at least are targeted at a wider audience than just a single Battleteam. This means that the level of detail and quality carries increased expectations. These expectations are different between each Unit’s command structure. As such, the following best practices are flexible between both positions. A House-level report usually covers:

''(Suggested)''
* New information or announcements that pertain to the House.
* Roster moves: new members in, old members moving out?
* Where is the House fictionally? Where is the team out of character as a group?
* Plans for the future? Upcoming events?
* Rewards and Recognition: highlight accomplishments by members of the House in competition earnings, merit awards, exams passed, and other milestones or achievements.
* BTL/House/Clan level news.
* BTL/House/Clan level competitions.
* DB-wide news and reports.
* DB-wide competitions.

''(Optional)''
* House Fiction updates.
* AskTheQUA or AED / Questions and Answers section.

Examples:
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-february-qel-droma-report February Qel-Droma Report] (House Report, Arcona)
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-house-excidium-report-5-a-solid-foundation House Excidium Report #5: A Solid Foundation] (House Report, Scholae Palatinae)
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-hap-quaestor-report-february-2017 HAP Quaestor Report - February 2017] (QUA Report, [[Clan Plagueis|Plagueis]])
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-october-qua-report October QUA Report] (QUA Report, Odan Urr)

===== Proconsul and Consul =====

“PCON” and “CON” Reports often vary depending on the unit or leadership team dynamic. Sometimes [[Proconsul]] and Consul will do joint Clan-level Reports, and sometimes they can alternate writing one or the other. Clan-level reports focus on issues that affect the entire unit, as well as provide introspection and awareness of what goes on outside the Clan across the Brotherhood and with other units. Members usually look to Clan-level reports to gain information on how the larger DB applies to them. As such, the following best practices are flexible between both positions. A Clan-level report usually covers:

* New information or announcements that pertain to the entire Clan.
* Roster moves: new members in, old members moving out?
* Where is the Clan fictionally? Where is the team out of character as a group?
* Plans for the future? Upcoming events?
* Rewards and Recognition: highlight accomplishments by members of the Clan in competition earnings, merit awards, exams passed, and other milestones or achievements.
* BTL/House/Clan level news and reports.
* BTL/House/Clan level competitions.
* Inter-Unit news, job openings, competitions, and events.
* DB-wide news and reports.
* DB-wide competitions.

''(Optional)''
* Clan Fiction updates.
* AskTheCON or PCON / Questions and Answers section.

Examples:

* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-arcona-consul-report-15-the-special-hell Arcona Consul Report #15: The Special Hell] (Consul Report, Clan Arcona)

==== Society Reports ====

Currently, the two society reports that are active in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood are: [[Combat Master]] (ACC administration) and [[Wiki Tribune]] (Wikipedia administration). As these positions are held by members that have demonstrated a masterful understanding and command over their society, they each handle reports in their own manners.

Examples:

* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-combat-master-6-help-me-help-you Combat Master #6: Help Me... Help You...] (Combat Master Report by [[Atra Ventus]])
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-wiki-tribune-report-7-new-year-new-canon Wiki Tribune Report #7: New Year, New Canon] (Wiki Tribune Report by [[Selika Roh]])
=== Writing the Report ===

When writing a report, there are a few different tools you can use. The most popular and common one — that is available to all members and completely free — is [http://drive.google.com/ Google Docs]. Google Docs allow you to easily share your reports with your supervisors or friends to get approval, feedback, or proofreading before posting. Alternatively, you can write your report in your word processor of choice with things like Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, or even a simple Word Pad.

Since the Dark Jedi Brotherhood website leverages Markdown coding for reports and news posts, you can alternatively — or additionally — take advantage of Markdown Preview editors. This allows you to type on one side of the screen and play with code while generating a preview of how it will look when posted. The Dark Council recommends:

* [http://dillinger.io/ Dillinger] - One of the best preview tools available. Great save features, streamlined and easy to use.
* [https://stackedit.io/editor Stack Edit] - Full featured preview tool with example template.
* [http://socrates.io/ Socrates] - Super minimalist design. Easy to share with others.

'''Note''': It is always wise to have your reports proofread by at least one other person. This can be a friend you trust, or your supervisor, but proofreading is '''strongly''' recommended.

==== Formatting ====

Formatting is the key to making your reports not only aesthetically appealing to a reader. It also makes them clear and easy to read. The more clear and concise your report is formatted, the better chance of not losing or confusing the members you want reading the report you worked so hard on!

As stated above, the website takes advantage of Markdown coding, which you can learn all about in the following Shadow Academy Exams: [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/shadow_academy/courses/86 Markdown 101] and [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/shadow_academy/courses/100 Markdown 102]. It is highly recommended to complete these courses prior to writing a report. These courses are quick, informative, and educational. They will help create a foundation for your ability to write clear and easy to read reports.

For the purpose of focusing on the presentation of a report, this article will highlight the fundamental elements of Markdown that come in handy when writing a report.

===== Headers =====

Headers are important because they help break up information and create definitive starts and stops to topics throughout the report. Reports are read from top to bottom, so anytime you’re going to change subjects it is good to insert a header. Headers are handled by using a different count of pound (#) signs.

You can also separate sections using the '''insert line'''. You can trigger this by using 5 consecutive dashes “-----”. Make sure to include a line break before and after (press enter before and then after).

==== Bullet Points, Numbered Lists ====

A good way to break up talking points or to make a list of information easier to read is by using bullet points or numbered lists.

* You can use bullet points by using an asterisk (*) or a dash (-) followed by a space.

* You can create a numeric list by using a number followed by a period (1.) followed by a space.

<nowiki> * Topic 1 </nowiki><br>
<nowiki> * Topic 2 </nowiki>

<nowiki> 1. Topic 1 </nowiki><br>
<nowiki> 2. Topic 2 </nowiki>

Usually, lists will trigger their formatting automatically. If for some reason they do not, make sure to add a double space after each point.

===== Hyperlinks, Bold, Italics =====

Using bold and italics is a great way to help emphasize points you want to drive home in your report. To '''bold''' or ''italicize'' something in Markdown, you can use the following code:

<nowiki>*Italics* / _Italics_</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>**Bold** / __Bold__</nowiki>

A hyperlink is a highlighted piece of text on a webpage that, when clicked, brings you to another web page. Hyperlinks are important because they can help easily route readers to information that might be useful. To insert hyperlinks in Markdown, you can use the following code:

<nowiki>[Hyperlink Text](http://webpage.com)</nowiki>

===== Inserting Images and Gifs =====

![alt text](https:imageurl.png)

'''Important''': Images and gifs must be “https” secure. Most popular images will use https, but if you run into issues you can use sites like [http://imgur.com/ imgur] to host a secure image or gif.

'''Important''': Images and gifs must include the filename in the url (.jpg, .png, .gif) in order to work. Using a .com, or any other website extension will not work.

===== Centering Images =====
While everyone has their own styles, the best practice and common style for reports is to center images. You can do this using the following markdown coding.

-> Centered Image <-

Anything else will default to Left-aligned. If you want to Right-align an image you can use the “->” arrow by itself.

-> Right-aligned Image

=== Rolling News banner ===

Rolling news banners are displayed at the top of the main page for https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com and work on a horizontal carousel.

'''Dark Council''' - Reports put out by the members of the Dark Council. These reports tend to focus on each Councilor’s area of expertise and the section of the club that they oversee.

'''Unit''' - Reports put out by the independent units that make up the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. This covers everything from entry level Battleteam Leader reports to top level Consul reports.

'''Society''' - Reports put out by society leaders that cover news and updates relative to their society (Wikipedia, Antei Combat Center, etc.)

Reports are released by a leader on some kind of determined schedule cycle. For example, a report can be released bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly. Consistency is king, as the general membership relies heavily on the announcements, shared details, and explanations of changes/events to not only keep up with the changes in the club, but also to know why things are changing.

==== News Posts ====
[[File:Reportwriting2.png|500px|thumb|center|What you see from a news post on the main page.]]

A news post is anything that gets published to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood’s website and appears on the main page: www.darkjedibrotherhood.com. This means that any report that gets posted through the site administration is posted live as a newspost.

Please make sure to review the News Page Policies and Best Practices page to ensure your report is meeting the standard expectations and rules. This page also has great information that will be highlighted for reference in this article.

Additionally, you can view previously published reports in the News Archives.

[[File:Reportwriting3.png|500px|thumb|center|The News Archives.]]

=== Report Content ===

What do leaders put in their reports? Report content is entirely dependent on the information being presented, which ties into the expectations and responsibilities of the position. These expectations are usually outlined in the job description, with influence drawn from predecessors to the position and/or reader feedback. The following section breaks down the suggested content recommended by the Dark Council to be included in reports posted to the news page.

==== Outlining ====

A standard report should follow some kind of outline. The recommended starting point from the Dark Council is as follows:

* 1. Introduction
* 2. News and Updates
* 3. Member Recognition
* 4. Q&A / Feedback
* 5. Conclusion/Summary

You are in no way restricted to this outline, but again this is recommended as a starting point from which you can build and expand your reports.

==== Dark Council Reports ====

Each Dark Councilor represents a different facet of the club. They cover topics that relate to their job, and are expected to alert members to any impactful changes that affect how their respective facet is handled.

For example:

* Grand Master Reports will tend to cover wider topics that affect the club on the whole. As the leader of the entire organization, Grand Master reports usually include major changes in leadership, policy, or provide roadmaps to the future of the club.

* FIST Reports will tend to cover information, announcements, and updates on everything relating to Gaming in the club. This includes approved platforms, cluster balancing, as well as gaming competition administration.

* VOICE Reports will tend to cover information, announcements, and updates on everything relating to the Fictional Society and Fiction System. This includes character sheets as well as fiction, run ons and other competition administration.

==== Unit Reports ====

Independent Units — which refers to the Clans, Houses, and sub-teams that make up the DJB — have a set command structure. The entry level positions start at Battleteam Leader, where the member is placed in charge of a small unit, all the way up to Consul, responsible for leading the entire Clan.

While each Consul sets the tone, schedule, and execution of reports, the Dark Council has a best practice outline it likes to direct members at. As with any report, a leader will bring their own unique style and flavor to their reports, and these are by no means an attempt to mandate how any leader writes their report.

The current positions within an Independent Unit that are able to publish reports are listed below. Some units chose not to employ certain positions, and not all units carry the same expectation for reports Each position below, however, is paired with the best practice suggestions from the Dark Council.

===== Battleteam Leader =====

“BTL” Reports are where new leaders get their start, and where more than a few learn to write their first news posts. The position is designed as an introduction to leadership at the Unit level and starts with responsibilities that tend to cover a small sub-unit, or team, within a Clan or House. A typical Battleteam Leader report should cover:

(Suggested)
* New information or announcements that pertain to the Battleteam.
* Roster moves: new members in, old members moving out?
* Where is the team fictionally? Where is the team out of character as a group?
* Rewards and Recognition: highlight accomplishments by members in competition awards, merit, awards, and other milestones or achievements.
* Battleteam Competitions.
* Clan/House level competitions.

(Additional)
* Fiction Updates
* AskTheBTL / Question and Answers section
* DB-wide competitions
* DB-wide news and reports.

Examples:

* Shadow Banes Battleteam Report 3 (BTL Report, Naga Sadow)
* Tactius Athanasius Report #13 (BTL Report, Scholae Palatinae)
* Shadow Gate February Report (BTL Report, Arcona)

===== Rollmaster =====

“RM” reports tend to have a singular focus on presenting information and updates relevant to their position. While each Independent Unit will articulate the role and purpose of the RM differently, this role has traditionally been tasked with the oversight of new members joining the Independent Unit and settling into the Brotherhood. They will often guide new members and establish relationships between veterans and newer members to assist in the process of integration into the club.

This means that typically, a Rollmaster report will talk about:

(Suggested)
* New member joins and introductions.
* Journeyman activity, advancements, and accomplishments.
* Roster movement: Members that have come and gone.

(Additional)
* Clan Updates and reports.
* House Updates and reports.

Examples:

* Arcona Rollmaster Roundup: Eight Report (RM Report, Arcona)
* COU Rollmistress Report #3 (RM Report, Odan Urr)

===== Aedile and Quaestor =====

“AED” and “QUA” Reports often vary depending on the unit or leadership team dynamic. Sometimes Aedile and Quaestors will do joint House-level Reports, and sometimes they can alternate writing one or the other. House-level reports tend to address multiple subunits, or at least are targeted at a wider audience than just a single Battleteam. This means that the level of detail and quality carries increased expectations. These expectations are different between each Unit’s command structure. As such, the following best practices are flexible between both positions. A House-level report usually covers:

(Suggested)
* New information or announcements that pertain to the House.
* Roster moves: new members in, old members moving out?
* Where is the House fictionally? Where is the team out of character as a group?
* Plans for the future? Upcoming events?
* Rewards and Recognition: highlight accomplishments by members of the House in competition earnings, merit awards, exams passed, and other milestones or achievements.
* BTL/House/Clan level news.
* BTL/House/Clan level competitions.
* DB-wide news and reports.
* DB-wide competitions.

(Optional)
* House Fiction updates.
* AsktheQUA or AED / Questions and Answers section.

Examples:
* February Qel-Droma Report (House Report, Arcona)
* House Excidium Report #5: A Solid Foundation (House Report, Scholae Palatinae)
* HAP Quaestor Report - February 2017 (QUA Report, Plagueis)
* October QUA Report (QUA Report, Odan Urr)

===== Proconsul and Consul =====

“PCON” and “CON” Reports often vary depending on the unit or leadership team dynamic. Sometimes Proconsul and Consul will do joint Clan-level Reports, and sometimes they can alternate writing one or the other. Clan-level reports focus on issues that affect the entire unit, as well as provide introspection and awareness of what goes on outside the Clan across the Brotherhood and with other units. Members usually look to Clan-level reports to gain information on how the larger DB applies to them. As such, the following best practices are flexible between both positions. A Clan-level report usually covers:

* New information or announcements that pertain to the entire Clan.
* Roster moves: new members in, old members moving out?
* Where is the Clan fictionally? Where is the team out of character as a group?
* Plans for the future? Upcoming events?
* Rewards and Recognition: highlight accomplishments by members of the Clan in competition earnings, merit awards, exams passed, and other milestones or achievements.
* BTL/House/Clan level news and reports.
* BTL/House/Clan level competitions.
* Inter-Unit news, job openings, competitions, and events.
* DB-wide news and reports.
* DB-wide competitions.

(Optional)
* Clan Fiction updates.
* AsktheCON or PCON / Questions and Answers section.

Examples:

* Arcona Consul Report #15: The Special Hell (Consul Report, Clan Arcona)

==== Society Reports ====

Currently, the two society reports that are active in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood are: Combat Master (ACC administration) and Wiki Tribune (Wikipedia administration). As these positions are held by members that have demonstrated a masterful understanding and command over their society, they each handle reports in their own manners.

Examples:

* Combat Master #6: Help Me... Help You... (Combat Master Report by [[Atra Ventus]])
* Wiki Tribune Report #7: New Year, New Canon (Wiki Tribune Report by [[Selika Roh]])
=== Writing the Report ===

When writing a report, there are a few different tools you can use. The most popular and common one — that is available to all members and completely free — is Google Docs. Google Docs allow you to easily share your reports with your supervisors or friends to get approval, feedback, or proofreading before posting. Alternatively, you can write your report in your word processor of choice with things like Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, or even a simple Word Pad.

Since the Dark Jedi Brotherhood website leverages Markdown coding for reports and news posts, you can alternatively — or additionally — take advantage of Markdown Preview editors. This allows you to type on one side of the screen and play with code while generating a preview of how it will look when posted. The Dark Council recommends:

* http://dillinger.io/ Dillinger - One of the best preview tools available. Great save features, streamlined and easy to use.
* https://stackedit.io/editor Stack Edit - Full featured preview tool with example template.
* http://socrates.io/ Socrates- Super minimalist design. Easy to share with others.

Note: It is always wise to have your reports proofread by at least one other person. This can be a friend you trust, or your supervisor, but proofreading is strongly recommended.

==== Formatting ====

Formatting is the key to making your reports not only aesthetically appealing to a reader. It also makes them clear and easy to read. The more clear and concise your report is formatted, the better chance of not losing or confusing the members you want reading the report you worked so hard on!

As stated above, the website takes advantage of Markdown coding, which you can learn all about in the following Shadow Academy Exams: (Link to Markdown Exams). It is highly recommended to complete these courses prior to writing a report. These courses are quick, informative, and educational. They will help create a foundation for your ability to write clear and easy to read reports.

For the purpose of focusing on the presentation of a report, this article will highlight the fundamental elements of Markdown that come in handy when writing a report.

===== Headers =====

Headers are important because they help break up information and create definitive starts and stops to topics throughout the report. Reports are read from top to bottom, so anytime you’re going to change subjects it is good to insert a header. Headers are handled by using a different count of pound (#) signs.

You can also separate sections using the insert line. You can trigger this by using 5 consecutive dashes “-----”. Make sure to include a line break before and after (press enter before and then after).

==== Bullet Points, Numbered Lists ====

A good way to break up talking points or to make a list of information easier to read is by using bullet points or numbered lists.

* You can use bullet points by using an asterisk (*) or a dash (-) followed by a space.

* You can create a numeric list by using a number followed by a period (1.) followed by a space.

<nowiki> * Topic 1 </nowiki>
<nowiki> * Topic 2 </nowiki>

<nowiki> 1. Topic 1 </nowiki>
<nowiki> 2. Topic 2 </nowiki>

Usually, lists will trigger their formatting automatically. If for some reason they do not, make sure to add a double space after each point.

===== Hyperlinks, Bold, Italics =====

Using bold and italics is a great way to help emphasise points you want to drive home in your report. To bold or italicize something in Markdown, you can use the following code:

*Italics* / _Italics_
**Bold** / __Bold__

A hyperlink is a highlighted piece of text on a webpage that, when clicked, brings you to another web page. Hyperlinks are important because they can help easily route readers to information that might be useful. To insert hyperlinks in Markdown, you can use the following code:

[Hyperlink Text](http://webpage.com)

===== Inserting Images and Gifs =====

![alt text](https:imageurl.png)

Important: Images and gifs must be “https” secure. Most popular images will use https, but if you run into issues you can use sites like imgur to host a secure image or gif.

Important: Images and gifs must include the filename in the url (.jpg, .png, .gif) in order to work. Using a .com, or any other website extension will not work.

===== Centering Images =====
While everyone has their own styles, the best practice and common style for reports is to center images. You can do this using the following markdown coding.

-> Centered Image <-

Anything else will default to Left-aligned. If you want to Right-align an image you can use the “->” arrow by itself.

-> Right-aligned Image

=== Creating a Report ===
[[File:Reportwriting4.png|500px|thumb|center|Snapshot of the Administration panel.]]

To post/publish your report to the main page, head over to the Administration Menu -> Navigate to: “News and Reports” -> and then select: “Manage News and Reports”.

[[File:Reportwriting5.png|500px|thumb|center|The create post menu from the Administration page.]]

==== Naming Reports (Title) ====

As a best practice, the Dark Council recommends the following format when creating reports for the news page.

> [Unit Name] [Report] [Report #] - [Title/Subject] (Optional)

Alternatively, you can change things up according to your preference and style. You can reference the date and/or the month, lead with a catchy title, or switch around the order of the above example. Keep in mind when using months by themselves, however, that you run the potential risk of lapping yourself and running into having duplicate “May Rainbow Squadron” reports. Which is fine, if you’re into that kind of thing, of course.

The important thing is to make sure you are in some way including the name or position in your title so that anyone scrolling through a list of reports knows how to easily identify what kind of report you’ve created and posted.

==== Choosing a Category ====

For reports, you are going to always want to use the “Reports” category. This keeps reports separate from newposts that announce things such as the new Star Wars trailer that just came out or major announcement that we want outside viewers to see.

For information on the other categories, refer to the News Page Policies and Best Practices page.

In the field right below it, you select your leadership position as the “Context” that you will be posting the report under.

=== Context ===

The context field here pertains to the position you are posting from. You will be provided a drop down box that gives you a selection if you multiple positions. If you’re a Battleteam Leader, you would select “Battleteam Leader” for contex. If you’re a member of the Shadow Academy Staff, you select “Shadow Academy: Professor (Assistants).

=== Rolling News banner ===

Rolling news banners are displayed at the top of the main page for www.darkjedibrotherhood.com and work on a horizontal carousel.

[[File:Reportwriting6.JPG|500px|thumb|center|Example of a rolling news banner.]]

==== Body ====

This is where you copy and paste your report when you’re ready to see what it looks like and then post it. This should include the content outlined in the above section.

=== Tag List ===

Tags allow you to easily identify and sort reports when searching through the archives. It also can affect how hashtags get implemented when reports are posted to social media.

For information on Tag Lists, refer to the News Page Policies and Best Practices page.

=== Comment Method ===
There are three options for how report comments are handled. You may select comments to be local, linked on discourse, or disabled.

Local comments appear under the report itself on the main page. This is the standard method for allowing commentary on reports from your peers.

[[File:Reportwriting7.png|500px|thumb|center|The local comments found under a report.]]

Discourse comments link to our discourse forum. This is usually used for reports that want to take advantage of engaging with members on topics covered in the report itself.

[[File:Reportwriting8.png|500px|thumb|center|An example of the discourse report.]]

Disabled comments is used for when you post a report that you do not wish anyone to leave comments. This is usually done when a decision is shared from the top executive level and isn’t open for further discussion from the membership.

[[File:Reportwriting9.png|500px|thumb|center|Disabled comments.]]

Only members of the Brotherhood are able to comment on reports. As a best practice, be polite when responding to report comments, even if members get aggressive or use language that makes you feel uncomfortable. If you feel that someone has violated the Dark Covenant in your report comments, make sure you reach out to the Justicar and the Hands of Justice. The Brotherhood has a zero tolerance policy on harassment.

==== Publishing ===

Once you’re done writing and formatting your report,

Before posting, you should always make sure to preview your report. The preview window will show you a preview of what your report will look like once it is posted to the main page. This is a great way to check for formatting errors that either show up

[[File:Reportwriting10.png|500px|thumb|center|The preview function can be found at the bottom of a written report.]]

==== Editing A News Post ====

Caught a mistake that you missed when previewing your report? Wanted to go back in and clarify something? Don’t panic. Once a report is posted to the news page, you can easily edit it from your administration menu. Any edits made will update the currently posted newspost, overwriting the previous version. You can edit a report as many times as you need, and no duplicate copies are made when updating a report in this manner.

=== Summary ===

The easiest way to tie everything together is to demonstrate how a basic report should look. To that end, we’ve created a Dark Jedi Brotherhood Report Template that you can use to help write your own reports.

You can view the Example Report here from the News Archive.

=== Conclusion ===

By following this guide, and the best practices outlined within it, you should feel confident in either writing your first report, or implementing a new trick you learned into your existing reports. As with most skills, report writing becomes easier the more and more you do it. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to have your superior or a trusted friend read over your report.

Run-On

2017-05-13T16:19:31Z

Laren Uscot:

A [[Run-On]] is a series of posts taking place on the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/ Forums] where multiple [[Member|members]] further a central plot by taking turns. Each member details a piece of the story, usually from their own characters perspective, though they may write about another member's character within the scope of the previously written material.

Run-On's are a major part of activity, especially for those members who focus on writing within the Brotherhood.

The following article will look to outline how Run-On’s work in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood by covering how they are run, organized, and graded. It is a resource created to educate and learn more about how Run-Ons work, and is not by any means a primer on writing techniques used in narrative storytelling.

== What are Run-Ons? ==
Run-On’s are a type of fictional activity in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] that bring together multiple writers in order to tell a larger-scale narrative. Each writer contributes to the overarching plot by writing and then “posting” individual segments that play off and continue the other writers segments to craft a Run-On story.

Run-Ons require the use of [[Communication Platforms|communication]], and are often the most collaborative form of writing that members are able to take part in. This article will look to outline and describe how Run-Ons are set up, organized, and graded while providing a reference guide for both beginners and seasoned Run-On writers.

== Types of Run-Ons ==
There are four types of Run-Ons that can be organized as fictional activity in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

=== Small Team Run-On ===
[https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/t/rogue-one-team-token-real-girl/1566/19 Small Team Run-Ons] have become the standard format for Run-On competitions in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The focus of a Small Team Run-On is for members to tell a collaborative story that reads as a single, complete narrative while maintaining continuity with each others posts. These sSmall tTeam’s do not need to be continuous with other teams that are competing. Team sizes are flexible, as is the types of members that can make up the composition of these teams. Both the team size and composition details should be determined during the organization and setup of the competition.

=== Unit vs Unit Run-On ===
In a [https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/t/new-alliances-a-shadow-guard-grey-wolf-competition/1148/13 Unit vs Unit Run-On] — typically seen in past/older Great Jedi Wars — each unit participates as a team against the other Unit’s (Clans) of the Brotherhood for placement. The focus of a Unit Run-On is to tell a collaborative story with contributions from each participating members while maintaining continuity with each others posts.

=== Unit Run-On ===
A [https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/t/csp-midnight-trial-of-the-soul/1543 Unit Run-On] — typically run at either the [[Clan]], [[House]], or [[Battleteam]] Level — is a self contained story in which members of the same unit take turns posting to create a collaborative story with contributions from each participating members while maintaining continuity with each others posts.

=== Personal Run-Ons ===
Personal Run-Ons can be organized among various members for personal writing purposes, including (but not limited to) character development, side plots, etc. Members are able to take advantage of the Discourse forums to host personal Run-Ons with friends and clanmates. These can be used for [https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/t/master-student-the-will-of-the-force/1366 character development], [https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/t/tales-of-a-revenant-atra-ventus-personal-run-on/1523 exploration], alternate universe stories, or [https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/t/csp-run-on-for-funsies/1476/16 just for fun]. Personal Run-On word counts can be used for Journeyman promotions, but do not qualify for Clusters of Ice.

== Creating a Run-On Competition ==
It is important to work with your Clan and/or House Summit when submitting competitions for approval. A member of the Voice Staff will either approve or remand your competitions. If remanded, they will detail notes on why. While the MAA has the final sign off, Run-On competitions are approved by the Voice Staff and follow the [[Voice Competition Approval Guidelines]]. This would be a good document to start reading that details what is required to create a competition.

=== Administration ===
Run-On competitions can be created from your user Administration panel. You can do this by navigating to: [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/admin/competitions Manage Competitions] -> Create Competition -> Create “Fiction Competition”, and then fill in the necessary information and details you’ve learned about in this exam.

[[file:ROStudies1.png|thumb|centre|550px|Selecting a fiction competition.]]

===== Title =====
The title of your Run-On should tie into the theme of your prompt/event. Run-Ons, based on their collaborative nature, tend to be easier to remember than most writing based events. For example, it might be easier for members to recall memories from “The Precipice of Defeat” Run-On than “Sable-Dark Run-On #2”.

===== Start/End Date =====
Run-On’s need more time to develop and bloom than a standard fiction event. The suggested time-frame that has been successful and that is recommended currently is 1-2 months.

For brotherhood wide events or vendettas, a typical Run-On duration is one month (30 days). For more story-focused Run-Ons outside of major competitions, 2-3 months is the recommended time table.

===== Co-Organizers =====

Run-Ons can have multiple organizers, but the organizers that will be doing the actual grading should be announced in the [[Voice_Staff_Resources_Hub#Grading_Rubrics|Grading Details]].

===== Competition Type ====
* Run-On

Selecting Run-On as a competition type will submit the competition to the Voice staff for approval as it will reward Clusters of Ice, which work towards your [[Inquisitorius]] rank as well as other activity metrics.

As outlined on the [[Cluster of Ice]]:

For Run-on type competitions, Clusters of Ice are awarded at the same one (1) Cluster of Ice per 500 words of fiction for a valid entry upon completion of the competition, with a cap on the number of words that will be awarded at 500 words for each post a member makes. All excess words beyond this cap will go unrewarded, while insufficient words unable to meet 500 per post will result in less than one (1) Cluster of Ice per post. There is no maximum number of posts allowed in a Run-On, subjective to the specific requirements of the competition itself to be a valid entry, resulting in no maximum number of Clusters of Ice that can be awarded in a Run-On fiction event.

===== Competition Award Level =====
Below is a quick summary of the [[Crescents]] awarded for certain RO levels:

* Battleteam - ‘’[[Crescents#Fifth_Level|Fifth Level]]’’
* House - ‘’[[Crescents#Fourth_Level|Fourth Level]]’’
* Clan - ‘[[Crescents#Third_Level|’Third Level]]’’
* Brotherhood - ‘’[[Crescents#Second_Level|Second Level]]’’
* Dark Council - ‘’[[Crescents#First_Level|First Level]]’’

===== Public Competition Details =====
This is where the details, prompt, rules, and guidelines should be made transparently clear and outlined for participants. This should include:

* Type of Run-On
* Rules/Guidelines
* Prompt(s)
* Judges/Grading

Crucially, this should also include a link to the Run-On forum where members should post their responses. Information on how to use the Run-On forum can be found below.

=== Using the Discussion Forums (Discourse) ===

Run-On forums should be created in the *Run-Ons* sub-forum of the Discussion Forums, otherwise known as [https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/c/run-ons Discourse]. To create a post in this section, first login to the Brotherhood discourse using your standard Dark Jedi Brotherhood login credentials. Then click ‘New Topic’ in the top right hand corner of the site. This will bring up the following screen:

[[file:ROStudies2.png|thumb|centre|550px|Using Discourse to begin a Run-On.]]

It is standard practice for the competition organiser to create the topic using the instructions and rules for the Run-On, including any relevant information (such a locations, dates, and any generic information about grading, for example). The competition organiser will then post the first post of the Run-On in reply to their introductory post to which participants will reply with their follow on Run-On posts.

== Rules and Guidelines ==

Run-On competitions have a standard set of rules and guidelines.

=== Word Counts and Caps ===

It’s important to define the minimum and maximum word count a participant must meet when publishing each post in a Run-On. This is tied to the individual posts and not the overall total length of the Run-On. Failure to adhere to the outlined minimum and maximum word count will result in individual disqualification.

For Small-Team Run-Ons, failure to meet the minimum or maximum word cap may result in preventing the rest of a participant's team from qualifying for placement in a competition. In these instances, individuals are still able to earn participation credit even if a member of their team is disqualified.

These rules all have some flexibility based on the competition organizer. However, the recommended standard and default is as follows:

* Minimum word count: 250 words.
* Maximum word count: None.

=== Posting and Editing ===

This section is critical to understanding the intricacies of a Run-On..

It’s important to define the minimum and maximum post count a participant must meet in a Run-On. Double posting is not allowed in a Run-On. This means that after you post, you cannot follow up that post with another one of your own. Run-Ons are all about collaborative storytelling with other members, so double posting is an easy way to ruin the back and forth flow with the rest of your team. It is equally as important to outline that participants may not edit a post after another post has come after it in Run-On thread. Failure to meet these Posting and Editing rules will result in individual disqualification from the competition.

For Small-Team Run-Ons, failure to meet the minimum or maximum post count may result in preventing the rest of a participant's team from qualifying for placement in a competition. In these instances, individuals are still able to earn participation credit even if a member of their team is disqualified.

These rules all have some flexibility based on the competition organizer. However, the recommended standard and default is as follows:

* Minimum post count for individual qualification: 2 posts
* Minimum post count for team qualification: 2 posts/per team member.
* There is no maximum post count.
* Participants may not double-post.
* Participants may not edit a post after another team member has subsequently posted.

=== Team Size and Composition (Small Team only) ===

When running a Small Team Run-on, make sure to outline any outstanding criteria. Team Size must be more than 2 members and has no limit. Teams can be composed of any combination of members from across the Brotherhood unless specified otherwise by the competition organizer. Teams can be formed by member selection, or by assignment. If assigning teams, it is important to make sure that you are transparent with how teams will be assigned.

These rules all have some flexibility based on the competition organizer. However, the recommended standard and default is as follows:

* 2-7 members per team.
* Members can form teams from any combination of members across the Brotherhood (ie, two Jedi and a Sith, two Taldryanites and an Arconan, etc.).

=== Example: Unit Run-On ===

Below is an [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/11519 example] of how to display competition details for a Small Team Run-On. The Competition administration pages utilize [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/shadow_academy/courses/86 markdown].

[[file:ROStudies4.png|thumb|centre|550px|The second shiny example.]]

== Grading ==

Official Run-Ons are graded using the Run-On Rubric found [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rRKJIcMOamtWI7ui80GO559jpJiw8B2_J1YvoFNzIWM here].

The Run-On Grading Rubric is different from the Fiction and ACC rubrics in that it puts weight on presentation over strict syntax. This includes focusing on transitions between scenes and character point-of-views, which are an important part of the collaborative storytelling taking place within a Run-On.

The four criteria are:
* Presentation (mostly syntax, mechanics, and formatting)
* Continuity (consistency and flow between multiple writers)
* Realism (use of Character Sheets, Star Wars, and DB lore appropriately)

Whether using the official rubric or not, the criteria that will be used for grading must be clearly outlined for the participants.

When using the Run-On Grading Rubric, you can create your own score sheet cards by using this Google Sheet [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rcam9mQHqrJR4FwDm-GBkKdhIcXvUNyOqoE5vg_7dOY/edit?usp=sharing template].

Be sure to leave notes in the “Notes” section so participants can understand how you came about deciding your final decision. Offering tips on where to improve are also helpful, as well as likes/dislikes. Just make sure to always be constructive, because that’s the only way people learn and grow from feedback.

== Summary ==

When creating a Run-On competition, communication is very important. If your members are confused with what they are supposed to do, it will be harder for them to compete and enjoy the activity you are trying to run for them. To prevent this from happening, a good Run-On competition write-up should always include the following details:

* The Type of Run-On.
* Transparent Rules and Guidelines.
* Clear Prompt(s).
* Clear Judges/Grading.

'''Clan Plagueis''' is one of the Dark Brotherhood's seven [[Clans]]. Barely escaping the destruction of the [[Jusadih System]] Plagueis became a shadowy force, enslaving thousands to form a new army and taking a new [[Ascendant Fleet]] by force. Initially thought to be destroyed by every [[House]] and [[Clan]] in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], Clan Plagueis has risen from the ashes to become a powerful force answering to the will of the [[Grand Master]].

[[File:Plagueis.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Darth Plagueis the Wise]]
The legendary [[starwars:Sith Lord|Sith Lord]], [[starwars:Darth Plagueis|Darth Plagueis’]] past is shrouded in mystery. A [[starwars:Muun|Muun]], whose influence touched events in the [[starwars:The Galaxy|galaxy]] for over half a century, Plagueis was discovered and trained by the unknown [[starwars:Sith Master|Sith Master]] of the time. Little more is known of the Muun Sith Lord’s past other than his choice of apprentice, [[starwars:Palpatine|Darth Sidious]].

Although the specific events are unknown, Plagueis chose a gifted Nabooian known as Palpatine. Plagueis trained young Palpatine and declared him furthermore to be known as Darth Sidious. It is believed Plagueis realized that he had found the Sith Lord that would complete the millennium-old plan of Darth Bane: revenge and destruction of the Jedi Order.

From Sidious, it is known that Plagueis trained his apprentice in both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, revealing Darth Plagueis’ wisdom in the necessity understanding one’s enemy, the Jedi, to assure their eventual destruction. Also revealed by his apprentice, Plagueis was fascinated with the concept of immortality and the possibilities of spontaneous generation, forcing him to delve into the deepest, darkest areas of the Force. By successfully influencing midi-chlorians, Darth Plagueis was able to save people from dying and create life.

After Plagueis had taught his apprentice everything he knew, Sidious killed him in his sleep, declaring himself the new Sith Master. With the ironic death of Plagueis, his legacy through his apprentice survived as Darth Sidious became the Sith Lord destined to take the final steps, to walk among the Jedi unseen, to bring about the destruction of the Jedi Order and the collapse of the Galactic Republic.

== History ==
{{Main|Clan Plagueis history}}

The prelude to disaster for then House Plagueis came in the form of [[Sense#Vision|precognitive visions]] glimpsed by [[Quaestor]] [[Tra'an Reith|Reith]]. An [[Equite]], Reith lacked the ability to see these visions during anything other than sleep or extreme meditation, and as such had no way to explore or examine the visions beyond faint glimpses. These visions showed destruction, mayhem, and carnage for the Ascendant House, and all invariably led to one conclusion - the total obliteration of all that Plagueis had built.

First during the [[Tenth Great Jedi War|Invasion of New Tython]], then during the [[Summer Invasion (PLA)|Orian Incursion]], and again over a dozen other conflicts, Plagueis attempted to head off the disaster. With each victory or defeat, the House would breathe a collective sigh, only to realize that the threat had not yet passed. It was during the [[Horizons|Horizon Crisis]] that the true menace would find the House of Ascendancy; the [[Jusadih Military Regime]], the puppet government of their home system, would fall into chaos as the Dark Jedi in charge went insane. As all became anarchy and the forces of the House mustered to survive, the forces of [[Zoraan|Archibald Zoraan]] swept through the system, blasting it apart. Even as the forces orbiting each planet worked to destroy those below, bioweaponry and other toxins were deployed to ruin any chance of recolonization. With the death of [[Chi Long]] and the release of a [[starwars:Starweird|Starweird]] into the system, it was not long before Jusadih was reduced to ashes. Barely surviving, even while aided by [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]] against the enemy, the Plagueians were forced to flee into Hyperspace in a blind jump aboard the badly damaged flagship [[NSD Ascendancy|''Ascendancy'']], the rest of the Brotherhood knowing only Arcona's report of their destruction.

Coming out of lightspeed, the Plagueians found themselves within the outer reaches of the [[starwars:Stygian Caldera|Stygian Caldera]]. Near their position drifted a derelict space station, a relic of the Great Galactic War. Sending out a call to the remaining Plagueians who had not been aboard the ''Ascendancy'', Tra'an Reith sought to rebuild. After the [[Saraask'ar]] were brought to heel and the station boarded, Plagueis set itself toward repairs and refit.

Using their cargo and parts, they were able to make the ''Ascendancy'' spaceworthy once again. At the direction of the Quaestor Solus Gar worked with the leader of the trandoshans, [[Tress'kar]], to imprison and guard the crewmen of the rescue ships ships they would draw to the edge of the Caldera with a distress beacon. The reptiles kept their charges secure while [[Emar Xu|Doctor Xu]] and [[Braecen Kaeth]] set out to fulfill Tra'an's vision. Once it was complete, the newly ascendant Dread Lord Reith revealed his project - a slave army, formed of [[Ravagers|Ravager]] soldiers and [[Subjugates|Subjugate]] crewmen. With the core of a new army at hand and a repaired ship, raids were launched and Plagueis began to become strong again. Working off of intel from [[Alaris Jinn di Plagia|Alaris Jinn]], Plagueis forces infiltrated the Galactic Alliance base at [[starwars:Ord Pardron|Ord Pardron]] and captured or sabotaged the task force of ships lying at anchor there. The ships were renamed, their crews enslaved or killed, and Plagueis departed with the new [[Ascendant Fleet]] under the cover of the ''Ascendancy'' to regroup.

With the other Houses and Clans thinking Plagueis dead, the leadership of Plagueis was content to allow that fiction to remain intact. The other Dark Jedi of the Brotherhood fought for the positions their vital members had lost, while those who had survived Zoraan's onslaught sought to capitalize on the advantages and disadvantages of one less House. Only two amongst their ranks - the Grand Master and his Shadow Hand - would know the truth whole truth of Plagueis's survival, with the Dark Councilors informed of the details that concerned their various dominions.

With the beginning of the [[Dark Crusade|campaign]] against the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] in retaliation for their attacks on the Brotherhood, House Plagueis emerged from its seclusion during the battle for Nfolgai. Throughout the campaign, Plagueis was a force to be reckoned with, driving their enemies before them repeatedly. Following their victory on Ziost, the Grand Master saw fit to elevate them to the level of Clan.

A slew of defeats at the hands of the One Sith and other members of the Brotherhood threw Plagueis into hiding. However, from the shadows, the Clan emerged with control over a major galactic company, a new and powerful military, and a leadership with an iron resolve to prove to the Iron Throne that Clan Plagueis was a force to be reckoned with. They quelled undesirables and Jedi in conflicts on Florrum and Aliso, and it is only just the beginning.

== Clan Organization ==
=== Clan Officials ===
====Dread Lord====
The Consul of Clan Plagueis is styled the Dread Lord of Plagueis and is the autocratic ruler of the Clan and all its holdings. The Dread Lord is the supreme ruler of the entirety of Plagueis, serving as governmental leader as well as supreme military commander. The Dread Lord also determines the division of the spoils of any conflict engaged in by Plagueis, even those undertaken by the leaders of [[Ajunta Pall]] and [[Karness Muur]]. The Dread Lord swears fealty to the Iron Throne.

====Dread Lord's Wrath====
The position of Dread Lord's Wrath is occupied by the Proconsul of House Plaguies. The Wrath serves as a personal enforcer and executioner for the Dread Lord, taking orders directly from and answering only to him. Unlike the rest of the Dread Lord's servants, who are bound to his will by a dark side ritual, the Wrath is given autonomy. The Wrath is second in authority only to the Dread Lord, commanding similar levels of authority over those subordinate to him in the Clan on the assumption that he acts to project the Dread Lord's will.

====Overseer====
The Rollmaster of Clan Plagueis is styled with the ancient Sith title of Overseer and charged with oversight over the training of new Dark Jedi. The Overseer also directs the indoctrination and training of new slaves in their service to the Ascendant Clan.

====Vassals====
The Quaestors of the Houses of Plagueis are referred to as Vassals, having entered into a sworn loyalty to the Dread Lord in the context of the feudal system of the Clan. The obligations of the Vassals include military support and the return of tribute to the Dread Lord, in exchange for certain privileges including the grant of military assets to form a fief. The Vassals of Plagueis are also allowed to appoint an Aedile to serve as their second. The Quaestors are known as:
*Ajunta Pall: Left Wing of Dread
*Karness Muur: Right Wing of Dread

====di Plagia====
Those honored with the title di Plagia are the honored elders of Clan Plagueis, those who have demonstrated the utmost loyalty, dedication, and activity. The di Plagia serve as counselors to the Dread Lord and his servants. Given nearly the same level of respect and reverence as the Dread Lord, the di Plagia hold little authority of command and instead function as high-ranking political advisors.

=== House Ajunta Pall ===
{{Main|[[Ajunta Pall]]}}

Ajunta Pall’s forces are lead by its Dark Jedi members the same way the Sith led the [[Starwars:Imperial Military (Sith Empire)|Imperial Military]] during the [[Starwars:Great Galactic War|Great Galactic War]]. By and large, the Dark Jedi of Ajunta Pall are used predominantly as the “shock-troopers” of the Battleteam and theoretically are used sparingly during combat. In practice, however, given the aggressive nature of most Dark Jedi, specifically those in Ajunta Pall, these Dark Jedi will most often be found on the front lines of any battle.

=== House Karness Muur ===
{{Main|[[Karness Muur]]}}

One could safely say that one of the reasons the Brotherhood, and in particular Plagueis, was so devastated by the Horizon Crisis was the fact they were caught unaware. The enemy struck without warning with devastating force. Plagueis could not afford for this to happen again, particularly in its current state. Hence, the newly knighted [[Arden Karn]] was tasked with assembling a team of individuals that specialized in information gathering and more subtle forms of war. Karness Muur would be the eyes, ears, and when necessary “finger” of Plagueis.

== Government ==
The devastation wrought by the Horizons Crisis in 30 ABY had a profound impact on the government of Plagueis. The Jusadih Military Regime would fall with Jusadih, paving the way for new governance of the Ascendant Clan. Where the Regime was steeped in the military traditions and formalized structure of the Imperial Military, the new feudal structure ruling Plagueis would be closely modeled on the magocracy of the old Sith Empire.

The title and position of Dread Lord is given to the leader strong enough unite the entirety of the Clan under his banner and seize control through power, cunning, and mastery of the Force. The Dread Lord is the absolute ruler of Plagueis with unquestioned authority. The cabal of Force wielders beneath him is the Synod, made up of the Dread Lord's Wrath, the Overseer, any duly appointed Vassals and their seconds, and the di Plagia. Many of the members of the Synod are assigned a specific area of authority, or sphere of influence. Slaves, information gathering, or command of a fief were just some of the spheres that the Synod members could be designated to oversee. The control exerted by the Dread Lord and Synod were absolute, even over the other Dark Jedi of the House regardless of rank.

The unrestricted authority of the Dread Lord and Synod does not, however, translate to unrestrained loyalty amongst the members of the Clan. Like any Dark Jedi, those members of Plagueis with power often want more and those that lack it desire to attain it. Political factions are known to form within the ranks of the Clan, coalitions formed around powerful individuals. While the Dread Lord maintains his own network of intelligence gathering assets, many members of the Synod and the House's Equities maintain their own resources both within Plagueis and without. Knowing of a rivals weakness or of an opportunity to elevate oneself in the eyes of the Dread Lord can serve as a powerful motivator to keep information away from the other members of the House.

== Society and Culture ==
=== Culture ===
The culture of Plagueis following the Horizons Crisis is very different from that which came before, one that is far more Force driven than its predecessor. The trappings of the more civilized Empire of Palpatine and the Imperial period have given way to something that shares far more with the Empire of the Sith of Ziost. Plagueis would instead thrive on slavery and exploitation. Given the consequences of Horizons, the leadership of Plagueis lived under the constant belief that if knowledge of their location were known, they would face the threat of external attack.

Clan Plagueis is the only unit in the Dark Brotherhood to lack a planetary dominion, and its internal society reflects this. The do not concern themselves with the minutiae of the day to day oversight of government or the needs of a people. They instead bring others to heel, be they colonial governors, independent settlements, etc., forcing those they conquer or intimidate into swearing fealty to the Dread Lord and the Clan. Ruling their own "Empire" through intermediaries allows the Clan to maintain control over the resources it needs to survive while also insulating them from direct attack.

Plagueians follow an aggressive interpretation of the philosophy of the [[Final Way]], a Brotherhood doctrine first observed by [[Okemi]] and revived by the Dark Lord [[Kane Vader]]. They see it as their duty to expand through conquest; in doing so, they seek to gradually convert all survivors into Dark Siders or slaves and bring about an era of ferocity, power, and darkness for the Galaxy. Like the Sith of old, they realize that their goal could take time, and thus they are content to live with war in their hearts and blood on their hands for the foreseeable future.

=== Castes ===
Like the ancient Sith Empire, Plagueis would also adopt a hierarchy built on a rigid caste system and stratified rank structure to put its subjects in their proper places. The caste system is broadly divided between Force users, non-Force users that serve the House, and slaves, with specific levels within those classes.

*'''Lords of Plagueis''' : The Dread Lord and members of the Synod make up the highest level of Plagueian society. Elevation to this level is determined solely by the Dread Lord, though the counsel of the Synod is often consulted. Members of this caste will have their name preceded by “Lord” when addressed formally by a subordinate or member of a lower caste. On very rare occasions, the Dread Lord will elevate non-Force users to this station. These individuals are rare, and will often have performed extraordinary service to the Dread Lord. They also represent the absolute apex of skill and deadliness amongst the members of the Clan unable to touch the Force.

*'''Force Users''' : The second highest level of Plagueian caste system is made up of the remaining Dark Jedi that are not a part of the Synod. In keeping with the magocratic structure of Plagueis, the Dark Jedi are superior to all those that lack Force ability. Any non-Force user is expected to refer to a Force user that has completed their trials of knighthood as “my lord” out of respect.

*'''The Willing''' : Not all that serve the Dark Jedi of Plagueis are slaves or others forcefully brought to heel. There are those that serve willingly, and these members of Plagueis make up the third caste within the House. These non-Force users are considered full citizens of the House and enjoy more freedom and privileges than those below them. Many that make up this caste come from the remains of the Jusadih Military Regime and the officers and men that survived the Horizons Crisis. Still others come from those who Plagueis capture that are willing to serve their new dark lords freely. Only those who unquestioningly demonstrate their loyalty by allowing the depths of their psyches to be laid bare with the Force are granted this place in Plagueian society.
[[File:Trandoshans.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Members of the [[Saraask'ar]].]]

*'''[[Saraask'ar]]''' : Originally paid mercenaries of House Plagueis, the Saraask'ar Clan are now direct subjects of the House following their failed attempt to seize control of the Ascendency and the House's resources after the Horizons Crisis. The Trandoshan slavers occupy a unique position in the caste hierarchy, being neither free nor slaves. Given some autonomy, the Saraask'ar are not given the rights of citizens of the House. They are, however, the only caste that is able to engage in direct contact with the galaxy at large without requiring the direct permission of the Dread Lord, serving as a buffer to protect the knowledge of the survival of Plagueis. The Saraask'ar's clan chief is allowed greater privileges within Plagueis then his subordinates, such as being allowed to advise the Synod and sit in on war councils.

*'''Slaves''' : The lowest level of Plagueian society are the slaves. Ranging from the standard, shock collared laborers to those warped by the Force such as the [[Subjugates]], [[Ravagers]], and [[Wraiths]], the Slaves make up the single largest segment of the House. Lacking any rights or privileges beyond controlled access to basic necessities, the slaves of Plagueis are the property of their masters. They are allowed only what they are given; disobedience and insolence are punished viciously. Should a slave become crippled, resources are not wasted; they are put down, quickly if they served well and slowly if they fail. Slaves that lash out against a Dark Jedi of Plagueis, or their protected servants and envoys, can expect a severe punishment or even death. Any slave that is taken into Plagueis will never be allowed to leave the House alive, preserving the secret of Plagueis's survival with their lives.

== Economy ==
Following the escape from Jusadih, the economy of Plagueis did not come from legitimate sources; all of their assets come from piracy, raiding, black market sales, and the slave trade. As the House strengthened into a Clan, the Dread Lord Montresor built a plan to create a more permanent form of economic support through the control of colonies, outposts, and settlements through their governing bodies. No longer would Plagueis have to subsist on what it could carry away, instead they would be able to build a secretive Empire of resources and servant states through leaders forced to align themselves with the Ascendant Clan.

By far the largest export for the Clan directly is in trafficking trained slaves. The vast majority of those sentients seized by the Clan are unsuited for the needs of Plagueis, and are instead handed over to the Saraask'ar for training and sale. These slaves will never see the interior of a Plagueian ship or the Anchorage, and are instead transported to one of the various Saraask'ar enclaves for indoctrination. Sold on the [[starwars:Invisible Market|Invisible Market]], these slaves bring in most of the Clan's direct income. Following the ascension to Clanhood, Plagueis began to see more and more revenue from the secretive, shadow empire that began to be forged by the Dread Lord.

== Military ==
===Command===
There is little differentiation between House Plagueis and its military, as they are nearly one and the same. Every Dark Jedi holds military authority, every man is a soldier, and even the most docile of slaves provide logistical support for the Plagueian war machine. While the Dread Lord maintains overall command of the military forces, his Wrath acts as the military [[starwars:Executor (Imperial rank)|executor]] and oftentimes commands the fleet or elements of it in the Dread Lord's stead. Many of the highest command positions of the fleet and army of Plagueis are held by the Clan's Dark Jedi, using a similar structure to that employed by the resurgent Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War.

===Ascendant Fleet===
The [[Ascendant Fleet]] is centered around the powerful [[Khyron-class Star Destroyer|''Khyron''-class]] [[KSD Transcendent|''Transcendent'']]. The ''Transcendent'' acts as the Clan flagship and leads the fleet in large engagements. The Bothan Assault Cruisers [[BAC Harrower|''Harrower'']] and [[BAC Terminus|''Terminus'']], along with escort vessels and troops, supplement the power of the ''Transcendent'' and are often given over to the authority of the Wrath and Overseer.

The twin [[starwars:Nebula-class Star Destroyer|''Nebula''-class]] destroyers [[NSD Ascendancy|''Ascendancy'']] and [[NSD Preeminence|''Preeminence'']], along with their own escort vessels, are each assigned to one of the Clan's two Houses. While independent from the wider Ascendant Fleet, these units serve the will of the Dread Lord and must heed his orders.

The starfighter forces of House Plagueis are no longer made up primarily of outdated Imperial types dating from the Galactic Civil War. Instead, the House has primarily adopted fighters designed by the New Republic and it's members. Later model X-wing and E-wing fighters support K-wing bombers and Corellian designs to form the starfighter wings assigned to the Fleet's capital ships.

===Ascendant Legion===
[[File:Acclamatorplagueis.jpg|thumb|180px|left|The ''Ravager'' exiting the surface of a planet.]]
The majority of the [[Ascendant Legion]] is made up of indoctrinated slaves such as the [[Ravagers]], [[Wraiths]], and [[Subjugates]]. These troops, like those of the Sith Empire before, emphasize ruthlessness, a near-suicidal disregard for personal safety, and the use of cruelty as a standard weapon in order to weaken opponents with terror. The conditioned slaves are supported by more standard enslaved sentients and directly lead by officers of The Willing. Most of the small unit leaders in the Legion are former officers or soldiers from before the fall of Jusadih. Balmorran [[SD-10 battle droid - Plagueis|SD-10 battle droids]]
serve as the shock troops of Plagueis, often as the first military forces to enter a battle, while [[B2 super battle droid - Plagueis|B2 super battle droids]] supplement the infantry forces of the Clan.The infantry is also supported by mechanized forces formed into fast moving units on the ground as well as by starfighters and combat airspeeders in the air. The main body of the Ascendant Legion operates from the [[ACC Ravager|''Ravager'']], an [[starwars:Acclamator I-class assault ship|Acclamator I-class assault ship]] captured from the Galactic Alliance. This ship is used when any large scale planetary assaults are called for by the Dread Lord.

==Astrography==
===The Anchorage===
:Main Article: [[The Anchorage]]

Constructed before the Great Galactic War for military purposes, the Anchorage was a strategic coordination center during the war. Lost during the Republic’s Invasion into Sith space, it remained hidden – lost in the nebula – for centuries. Not until 30 ABY, under the leadership of Dread Lord Tra’an Reith, would the outpost be discovered. A blind hyperspace jump, guided by the Force, brought Plagueis to the doorstep of the derelict station. Recognizing the potential it presented in the face of losing a second Dominion, the Clan established The Anchorage as a waypoint and repair station. As time went on, it would become the forward operating base; allowing the Clan to strike targets across the galaxy and retreat into the shroud provided by the Stygian Caldera.

===The Stygian Caldera===
:Main Article: [[starwars:Stygian Caldera|Stygian Caldera]]

A large nebulosity that surrounded the Ancient Sith Worlds – Korriban, Dromund Kaas, Ziost – region of the galaxy. The nebula – a cloud of dust and gas – acts as a hypersatial breakwater. This makes navigation in and out of the anomaly difficult, but provides the necessary secrecy for the operations of Clan Plagueis. Here, protected from outside meddling, the Anchorage resides. With the fall of both the Acarr and Jusadih Systems, it was decided that the Clan would forgo the traditional open rule of their dominion. Instead, lurking in the shadows as they build and operate their more clandestine empire.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===

* '''[[Tarentum]]''': The Tarenti, never particularly fond of Plagueis, have resolved their differences and are currently allies with Clan Plagueis. Having assisted former leaders of the Clan with the capture and subsequent loss of a Sith Bloodstone, the Tarenti also lend their resources to aid the rising Plagueis in other ways, as well.

=== Neutral ===
*'''[[Arcona]]''': Having tried to aid Plagueis during the destruction of Jusadih, the Shadow Clan is one of the few that Plagueis does not have a direct animosity towards.

* '''[[Taldryan]]''': Allied with Naga Sadow for some time, Taldryan has despised Plagueis from its controversial inception. Having taken a sore blow against Zoraan during Horizons, the Brotherhood Within a Brotherhood thought that Plagueis had been destroyed and sought to salvage their power.

=== Enemies ===
* '''[[Odan-Urr]]''': The Jedi of Odan-Urr have been recognized as a threat to and defiance of the Final Way as followed by Plagueis. In a galaxy that the Ascendant seek to plunge into darkness, they stand tall and uphold the light, making them the hated foe of Plagueis.

* '''[[Scholae Palatinae]]''': Having allied with Plagueis before the fall of Jusadih, the Imperial-minded Palatinaeans sought to exploit this alliance before outright turning on Plagueis during the Orian Incursion. This betrayal has driven a wedge between the two units, and has created a bloody hatred between them.

* '''[[Naga Sadow]]''': Turned on by Palatinae during the Orian Incursion, during which Plagueis invaded their worlds, the House of Sadow fought a vicious guerrilla war against Plagueian and Palatinaean forces and ultimately managed to drive their aggressors off of their world.

== Typical Clan Actions & Reactions==
The loss of their dominion has transformed Plagueis, erasing all aspects of their former legacy and leaving Plagueis as the embodiment of their motto of "Adapt, Ascend, and Avail". It has also made them fierce and violent. Plagueians like to utilize their newly untethered nature and secretive base to move throughout the vastness of the galaxy and confuse their enemies, striking at random in hit-and-run attacks. Other Houses and Clans hope for peacetime in between attacks; the Plagueian war is one to carve out their own shadow empire, and thus never ends.

When struck, Plagueis will react in kind; only in the Antei system do they refrain from overt warfare. They will typically move against agents of an enemy from the shadows, or launch attacks outright against targets on opposite ends of an enemy's home; by doing this, they hope to fluster and overextend the foe, striking when he is vulnerable. Plagueis does not embrace peace, for peace is a lie.

== Important Figures ==
The following is a list of all members who have had an influence on and impacted [[Plagueis|Clan Plagueis]]. For those who serve in the most distinguished of manners, the title of "[[Di Plagia|di Plagia]]" was bestowed upon them.

'''Clan Plagueis''' is one of the Dark Brotherhood's seven [[Clans]]. Barely escaping the destruction of the [[Jusadih System]] Plagueis became a shadowy force, enslaving thousands to form a new army and taking a new [[Ascendant Fleet]] by force. Initially thought to be destroyed by every [[House]] and [[Clan]] in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], Clan Plagueis has risen from the ashes to become a powerful force answering to the will of the [[Grand Master]].

[[File:Plagueis.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Darth Plagueis the Wise]]
The legendary [[starwars:Sith Lord|Sith Lord]], [[starwars:Darth Plagueis|Darth Plagueis’]] past is shrouded in mystery. A [[starwars:Muun|Muun]], whose influence touched events in the [[starwars:The Galaxy|galaxy]] for over half a century, Plagueis was discovered and trained by the unknown [[starwars:Sith Master|Sith Master]] of the time. Little more is known of the Muun Sith Lord’s past other than his choice of apprentice, [[starwars:Palpatine|Darth Sidious]].

Although the specific events are unknown, Plagueis chose a gifted Nabooian known as Palpatine. Plagueis trained young Palpatine and declared him furthermore to be known as Darth Sidious. It is believed Plagueis realized that he had found the Sith Lord that would complete the millennium-old plan of Darth Bane: revenge and destruction of the Jedi Order.

From Sidious, it is known that Plagueis trained his apprentice in both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, revealing Darth Plagueis’ wisdom in the necessity understanding one’s enemy, the Jedi, to assure their eventual destruction. Also revealed by his apprentice, Plagueis was fascinated with the concept of immortality and the possibilities of spontaneous generation, forcing him to delve into the deepest, darkest areas of the Force. By successfully influencing midi-chlorians, Darth Plagueis was able to save people from dying and create life.

After Plagueis had taught his apprentice everything he knew, Sidious killed him in his sleep, declaring himself the new Sith Master. With the ironic death of Plagueis, his legacy through his apprentice survived as Darth Sidious became the Sith Lord destined to take the final steps, to walk among the Jedi unseen, to bring about the destruction of the Jedi Order and the collapse of the Galactic Republic.

== History ==
{{Main|[[Clan Plagueis history|History of Clan Plagueis}}

The prelude to disaster for then House Plagueis came in the form of [[Sense#Vision|precognitive visions]] glimpsed by [[Quaestor]] [[Tra'an Reith|Reith]]. An [[Equite]], Reith lacked the ability to see these visions during anything other than sleep or extreme meditation, and as such had no way to explore or examine the visions beyond faint glimpses. These visions showed destruction, mayhem, and carnage for the Ascendant House, and all invariably led to one conclusion - the total obliteration of all that Plagueis had built.

First during the [[Tenth Great Jedi War|Invasion of New Tython]], then during the [[Summer Invasion (PLA)|Orian Incursion]], and again over a dozen other conflicts, Plagueis attempted to head off the disaster. With each victory or defeat, the House would breathe a collective sigh, only to realize that the threat had not yet passed. It was during the [[Horizons|Horizon Crisis]] that the true menace would find the House of Ascendancy; the [[Jusadih Military Regime]], the puppet government of their home system, would fall into chaos as the Dark Jedi in charge went insane. As all became anarchy and the forces of the House mustered to survive, the forces of [[Zoraan|Archibald Zoraan]] swept through the system, blasting it apart. Even as the forces orbiting each planet worked to destroy those below, bioweaponry and other toxins were deployed to ruin any chance of recolonization. With the death of [[Chi Long]] and the release of a [[starwars:Starweird|Starweird]] into the system, it was not long before Jusadih was reduced to ashes. Barely surviving, even while aided by [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]] against the enemy, the Plagueians were forced to flee into Hyperspace in a blind jump aboard the badly damaged flagship [[NSD Ascendancy|''Ascendancy'']], the rest of the Brotherhood knowing only Arcona's report of their destruction.

Coming out of lightspeed, the Plagueians found themselves within the outer reaches of the [[starwars:Stygian Caldera|Stygian Caldera]]. Near their position drifted a derelict space station, a relic of the Great Galactic War. Sending out a call to the remaining Plagueians who had not been aboard the ''Ascendancy'', Tra'an Reith sought to rebuild. After the [[Saraask'ar]] were brought to heel and the station boarded, Plagueis set itself toward repairs and refit.

Using their cargo and parts, they were able to make the ''Ascendancy'' spaceworthy once again. At the direction of the Quaestor Solus Gar worked with the leader of the trandoshans, [[Tress'kar]], to imprison and guard the crewmen of the rescue ships ships they would draw to the edge of the Caldera with a distress beacon. The reptiles kept their charges secure while [[Emar Xu|Doctor Xu]] and [[Braecen Kaeth]] set out to fulfill Tra'an's vision. Once it was complete, the newly ascendant Dread Lord Reith revealed his project - a slave army, formed of [[Ravagers|Ravager]] soldiers and [[Subjugates|Subjugate]] crewmen. With the core of a new army at hand and a repaired ship, raids were launched and Plagueis began to become strong again. Working off of intel from [[Alaris Jinn di Plagia|Alaris Jinn]], Plagueis forces infiltrated the Galactic Alliance base at [[starwars:Ord Pardron|Ord Pardron]] and captured or sabotaged the task force of ships lying at anchor there. The ships were renamed, their crews enslaved or killed, and Plagueis departed with the new [[Ascendant Fleet]] under the cover of the ''Ascendancy'' to regroup.

With the other Houses and Clans thinking Plagueis dead, the leadership of Plagueis was content to allow that fiction to remain intact. The other Dark Jedi of the Brotherhood fought for the positions their vital members had lost, while those who had survived Zoraan's onslaught sought to capitalize on the advantages and disadvantages of one less House. Only two amongst their ranks - the Grand Master and his Shadow Hand - would know the truth whole truth of Plagueis's survival, with the Dark Councilors informed of the details that concerned their various dominions.

With the beginning of the [[Dark Crusade|campaign]] against the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] in retaliation for their attacks on the Brotherhood, House Plagueis emerged from its seclusion during the battle for Nfolgai. Throughout the campaign, Plagueis was a force to be reckoned with, driving their enemies before them repeatedly. Following their victory on Ziost, the Grand Master saw fit to elevate them to the level of Clan.

A slew of defeats at the hands of the One Sith and other members of the Brotherhood threw Plagueis into hiding. However, from the shadows, the Clan emerged with control over a major galactic company, a new and powerful military, and a leadership with an iron resolve to prove to the Iron Throne that Clan Plagueis was a force to be reckoned with. They quelled undesirables and Jedi in conflicts on Florrum and Aliso, and it is only just the beginning.

== Clan Organization ==
=== Clan Officials ===
====Dread Lord====
The Consul of Clan Plagueis is styled the Dread Lord of Plagueis and is the autocratic ruler of the Clan and all its holdings. The Dread Lord is the supreme ruler of the entirety of Plagueis, serving as governmental leader as well as supreme military commander. The Dread Lord also determines the division of the spoils of any conflict engaged in by Plagueis, even those undertaken by the leaders of [[Ajunta Pall]] and [[Karness Muur]]. The Dread Lord swears fealty to the Iron Throne.

====Dread Lord's Wrath====
The position of Dread Lord's Wrath is occupied by the Proconsul of House Plaguies. The Wrath serves as a personal enforcer and executioner for the Dread Lord, taking orders directly from and answering only to him. Unlike the rest of the Dread Lord's servants, who are bound to his will by a dark side ritual, the Wrath is given autonomy. The Wrath is second in authority only to the Dread Lord, commanding similar levels of authority over those subordinate to him in the Clan on the assumption that he acts to project the Dread Lord's will.

====Overseer====
The Rollmaster of Clan Plagueis is styled with the ancient Sith title of Overseer and charged with oversight over the training of new Dark Jedi. The Overseer also directs the indoctrination and training of new slaves in their service to the Ascendant Clan.

====Vassals====
The Quaestors of the Houses of Plagueis are referred to as Vassals, having entered into a sworn loyalty to the Dread Lord in the context of the feudal system of the Clan. The obligations of the Vassals include military support and the return of tribute to the Dread Lord, in exchange for certain privileges including the grant of military assets to form a fief. The Vassals of Plagueis are also allowed to appoint an Aedile to serve as their second. The Quaestors are known as:
*Ajunta Pall: Left Wing of Dread
*Karness Muur: Right Wing of Dread

====di Plagia====
Those honored with the title di Plagia are the honored elders of Clan Plagueis, those who have demonstrated the utmost loyalty, dedication, and activity. The di Plagia serve as counselors to the Dread Lord and his servants. Given nearly the same level of respect and reverence as the Dread Lord, the di Plagia hold little authority of command and instead function as high-ranking political advisors.

=== House Ajunta Pall ===
{{Main|[[Ajunta Pall]]}}

Ajunta Pall’s forces are lead by its Dark Jedi members the same way the Sith led the [[Starwars:Imperial Military (Sith Empire)|Imperial Military]] during the [[Starwars:Great Galactic War|Great Galactic War]]. By and large, the Dark Jedi of Ajunta Pall are used predominantly as the “shock-troopers” of the Battleteam and theoretically are used sparingly during combat. In practice, however, given the aggressive nature of most Dark Jedi, specifically those in Ajunta Pall, these Dark Jedi will most often be found on the front lines of any battle.

=== House Karness Muur ===
{{Main|[[Karness Muur]]}}

One could safely say that one of the reasons the Brotherhood, and in particular Plagueis, was so devastated by the Horizon Crisis was the fact they were caught unaware. The enemy struck without warning with devastating force. Plagueis could not afford for this to happen again, particularly in its current state. Hence, the newly knighted [[Arden Karn]] was tasked with assembling a team of individuals that specialized in information gathering and more subtle forms of war. Karness Muur would be the eyes, ears, and when necessary “finger” of Plagueis.

== Government ==
The devastation wrought by the Horizons Crisis in 30 ABY had a profound impact on the government of Plagueis. The Jusadih Military Regime would fall with Jusadih, paving the way for new governance of the Ascendant Clan. Where the Regime was steeped in the military traditions and formalized structure of the Imperial Military, the new feudal structure ruling Plagueis would be closely modeled on the magocracy of the old Sith Empire.

The title and position of Dread Lord is given to the leader strong enough unite the entirety of the Clan under his banner and seize control through power, cunning, and mastery of the Force. The Dread Lord is the absolute ruler of Plagueis with unquestioned authority. The cabal of Force wielders beneath him is the Synod, made up of the Dread Lord's Wrath, the Overseer, any duly appointed Vassals and their seconds, and the di Plagia. Many of the members of the Synod are assigned a specific area of authority, or sphere of influence. Slaves, information gathering, or command of a fief were just some of the spheres that the Synod members could be designated to oversee. The control exerted by the Dread Lord and Synod were absolute, even over the other Dark Jedi of the House regardless of rank.

The unrestricted authority of the Dread Lord and Synod does not, however, translate to unrestrained loyalty amongst the members of the Clan. Like any Dark Jedi, those members of Plagueis with power often want more and those that lack it desire to attain it. Political factions are known to form within the ranks of the Clan, coalitions formed around powerful individuals. While the Dread Lord maintains his own network of intelligence gathering assets, many members of the Synod and the House's Equities maintain their own resources both within Plagueis and without. Knowing of a rivals weakness or of an opportunity to elevate oneself in the eyes of the Dread Lord can serve as a powerful motivator to keep information away from the other members of the House.

== Society and Culture ==
=== Culture ===
The culture of Plagueis following the Horizons Crisis is very different from that which came before, one that is far more Force driven than its predecessor. The trappings of the more civilized Empire of Palpatine and the Imperial period have given way to something that shares far more with the Empire of the Sith of Ziost. Plagueis would instead thrive on slavery and exploitation. Given the consequences of Horizons, the leadership of Plagueis lived under the constant belief that if knowledge of their location were known, they would face the threat of external attack.

Clan Plagueis is the only unit in the Dark Brotherhood to lack a planetary dominion, and its internal society reflects this. The do not concern themselves with the minutiae of the day to day oversight of government or the needs of a people. They instead bring others to heel, be they colonial governors, independent settlements, etc., forcing those they conquer or intimidate into swearing fealty to the Dread Lord and the Clan. Ruling their own "Empire" through intermediaries allows the Clan to maintain control over the resources it needs to survive while also insulating them from direct attack.

Plagueians follow an aggressive interpretation of the philosophy of the [[Final Way]], a Brotherhood doctrine first observed by [[Okemi]] and revived by the Dark Lord [[Kane Vader]]. They see it as their duty to expand through conquest; in doing so, they seek to gradually convert all survivors into Dark Siders or slaves and bring about an era of ferocity, power, and darkness for the Galaxy. Like the Sith of old, they realize that their goal could take time, and thus they are content to live with war in their hearts and blood on their hands for the foreseeable future.

=== Castes ===
Like the ancient Sith Empire, Plagueis would also adopt a hierarchy built on a rigid caste system and stratified rank structure to put its subjects in their proper places. The caste system is broadly divided between Force users, non-Force users that serve the House, and slaves, with specific levels within those classes.

*'''Lords of Plagueis''' : The Dread Lord and members of the Synod make up the highest level of Plagueian society. Elevation to this level is determined solely by the Dread Lord, though the counsel of the Synod is often consulted. Members of this caste will have their name preceded by “Lord” when addressed formally by a subordinate or member of a lower caste. On very rare occasions, the Dread Lord will elevate non-Force users to this station. These individuals are rare, and will often have performed extraordinary service to the Dread Lord. They also represent the absolute apex of skill and deadliness amongst the members of the Clan unable to touch the Force.

*'''Force Users''' : The second highest level of Plagueian caste system is made up of the remaining Dark Jedi that are not a part of the Synod. In keeping with the magocratic structure of Plagueis, the Dark Jedi are superior to all those that lack Force ability. Any non-Force user is expected to refer to a Force user that has completed their trials of knighthood as “my lord” out of respect.

*'''The Willing''' : Not all that serve the Dark Jedi of Plagueis are slaves or others forcefully brought to heel. There are those that serve willingly, and these members of Plagueis make up the third caste within the House. These non-Force users are considered full citizens of the House and enjoy more freedom and privileges than those below them. Many that make up this caste come from the remains of the Jusadih Military Regime and the officers and men that survived the Horizons Crisis. Still others come from those who Plagueis capture that are willing to serve their new dark lords freely. Only those who unquestioningly demonstrate their loyalty by allowing the depths of their psyches to be laid bare with the Force are granted this place in Plagueian society.
[[File:Trandoshans.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Members of the [[Saraask'ar]].]]

*'''[[Saraask'ar]]''' : Originally paid mercenaries of House Plagueis, the Saraask'ar Clan are now direct subjects of the House following their failed attempt to seize control of the Ascendency and the House's resources after the Horizons Crisis. The Trandoshan slavers occupy a unique position in the caste hierarchy, being neither free nor slaves. Given some autonomy, the Saraask'ar are not given the rights of citizens of the House. They are, however, the only caste that is able to engage in direct contact with the galaxy at large without requiring the direct permission of the Dread Lord, serving as a buffer to protect the knowledge of the survival of Plagueis. The Saraask'ar's clan chief is allowed greater privileges within Plagueis then his subordinates, such as being allowed to advise the Synod and sit in on war councils.

*'''Slaves''' : The lowest level of Plagueian society are the slaves. Ranging from the standard, shock collared laborers to those warped by the Force such as the [[Subjugates]], [[Ravagers]], and [[Wraiths]], the Slaves make up the single largest segment of the House. Lacking any rights or privileges beyond controlled access to basic necessities, the slaves of Plagueis are the property of their masters. They are allowed only what they are given; disobedience and insolence are punished viciously. Should a slave become crippled, resources are not wasted; they are put down, quickly if they served well and slowly if they fail. Slaves that lash out against a Dark Jedi of Plagueis, or their protected servants and envoys, can expect a severe punishment or even death. Any slave that is taken into Plagueis will never be allowed to leave the House alive, preserving the secret of Plagueis's survival with their lives.

== Economy ==
Following the escape from Jusadih, the economy of Plagueis did not come from legitimate sources; all of their assets come from piracy, raiding, black market sales, and the slave trade. As the House strengthened into a Clan, the Dread Lord Montresor built a plan to create a more permanent form of economic support through the control of colonies, outposts, and settlements through their governing bodies. No longer would Plagueis have to subsist on what it could carry away, instead they would be able to build a secretive Empire of resources and servant states through leaders forced to align themselves with the Ascendant Clan.

By far the largest export for the Clan directly is in trafficking trained slaves. The vast majority of those sentients seized by the Clan are unsuited for the needs of Plagueis, and are instead handed over to the Saraask'ar for training and sale. These slaves will never see the interior of a Plagueian ship or the Anchorage, and are instead transported to one of the various Saraask'ar enclaves for indoctrination. Sold on the [[starwars:Invisible Market|Invisible Market]], these slaves bring in most of the Clan's direct income. Following the ascension to Clanhood, Plagueis began to see more and more revenue from the secretive, shadow empire that began to be forged by the Dread Lord.

== Military ==
===Command===
There is little differentiation between House Plagueis and its military, as they are nearly one and the same. Every Dark Jedi holds military authority, every man is a soldier, and even the most docile of slaves provide logistical support for the Plagueian war machine. While the Dread Lord maintains overall command of the military forces, his Wrath acts as the military [[starwars:Executor (Imperial rank)|executor]] and oftentimes commands the fleet or elements of it in the Dread Lord's stead. Many of the highest command positions of the fleet and army of Plagueis are held by the Clan's Dark Jedi, using a similar structure to that employed by the resurgent Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War.

===Ascendant Fleet===
The [[Ascendant Fleet]] is centered around the powerful [[Khyron-class Star Destroyer|''Khyron''-class]] [[KSD Transcendent|''Transcendent'']]. The ''Transcendent'' acts as the Clan flagship and leads the fleet in large engagements. The Bothan Assault Cruisers [[BAC Harrower|''Harrower'']] and [[BAC Terminus|''Terminus'']], along with escort vessels and troops, supplement the power of the ''Transcendent'' and are often given over to the authority of the Wrath and Overseer.

The twin [[starwars:Nebula-class Star Destroyer|''Nebula''-class]] destroyers [[NSD Ascendancy|''Ascendancy'']] and [[NSD Preeminence|''Preeminence'']], along with their own escort vessels, are each assigned to one of the Clan's two Houses. While independent from the wider Ascendant Fleet, these units serve the will of the Dread Lord and must heed his orders.

The starfighter forces of House Plagueis are no longer made up primarily of outdated Imperial types dating from the Galactic Civil War. Instead, the House has primarily adopted fighters designed by the New Republic and it's members. Later model X-wing and E-wing fighters support K-wing bombers and Corellian designs to form the starfighter wings assigned to the Fleet's capital ships.

===Ascendant Legion===
[[File:Acclamatorplagueis.jpg|thumb|180px|left|The ''Ravager'' exiting the surface of a planet.]]
The majority of the [[Ascendant Legion]] is made up of indoctrinated slaves such as the [[Ravagers]], [[Wraiths]], and [[Subjugates]]. These troops, like those of the Sith Empire before, emphasize ruthlessness, a near-suicidal disregard for personal safety, and the use of cruelty as a standard weapon in order to weaken opponents with terror. The conditioned slaves are supported by more standard enslaved sentients and directly lead by officers of The Willing. Most of the small unit leaders in the Legion are former officers or soldiers from before the fall of Jusadih. Balmorran [[SD-10 battle droid - Plagueis|SD-10 battle droids]]
serve as the shock troops of Plagueis, often as the first military forces to enter a battle, while [[B2 super battle droid - Plagueis|B2 super battle droids]] supplement the infantry forces of the Clan.The infantry is also supported by mechanized forces formed into fast moving units on the ground as well as by starfighters and combat airspeeders in the air. The main body of the Ascendant Legion operates from the [[ACC Ravager|''Ravager'']], an [[starwars:Acclamator I-class assault ship|Acclamator I-class assault ship]] captured from the Galactic Alliance. This ship is used when any large scale planetary assaults are called for by the Dread Lord.

==Astrography==
===The Anchorage===
:Main Article: [[The Anchorage]]

Constructed before the Great Galactic War for military purposes, the Anchorage was a strategic coordination center during the war. Lost during the Republic’s Invasion into Sith space, it remained hidden – lost in the nebula – for centuries. Not until 30 ABY, under the leadership of Dread Lord Tra’an Reith, would the outpost be discovered. A blind hyperspace jump, guided by the Force, brought Plagueis to the doorstep of the derelict station. Recognizing the potential it presented in the face of losing a second Dominion, the Clan established The Anchorage as a waypoint and repair station. As time went on, it would become the forward operating base; allowing the Clan to strike targets across the galaxy and retreat into the shroud provided by the Stygian Caldera.

===The Stygian Caldera===
:Main Article: [[starwars:Stygian Caldera|Stygian Caldera]]

A large nebulosity that surrounded the Ancient Sith Worlds – Korriban, Dromund Kaas, Ziost – region of the galaxy. The nebula – a cloud of dust and gas – acts as a hypersatial breakwater. This makes navigation in and out of the anomaly difficult, but provides the necessary secrecy for the operations of Clan Plagueis. Here, protected from outside meddling, the Anchorage resides. With the fall of both the Acarr and Jusadih Systems, it was decided that the Clan would forgo the traditional open rule of their dominion. Instead, lurking in the shadows as they build and operate their more clandestine empire.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===

* '''[[Tarentum]]''': The Tarenti, never particularly fond of Plagueis, have resolved their differences and are currently allies with Clan Plagueis. Having assisted former leaders of the Clan with the capture and subsequent loss of a Sith Bloodstone, the Tarenti also lend their resources to aid the rising Plagueis in other ways, as well.

=== Neutral ===
*'''[[Arcona]]''': Having tried to aid Plagueis during the destruction of Jusadih, the Shadow Clan is one of the few that Plagueis does not have a direct animosity towards.

* '''[[Taldryan]]''': Allied with Naga Sadow for some time, Taldryan has despised Plagueis from its controversial inception. Having taken a sore blow against Zoraan during Horizons, the Brotherhood Within a Brotherhood thought that Plagueis had been destroyed and sought to salvage their power.

=== Enemies ===
* '''[[Odan-Urr]]''': The Jedi of Odan-Urr have been recognized as a threat to and defiance of the Final Way as followed by Plagueis. In a galaxy that the Ascendant seek to plunge into darkness, they stand tall and uphold the light, making them the hated foe of Plagueis.

* '''[[Scholae Palatinae]]''': Having allied with Plagueis before the fall of Jusadih, the Imperial-minded Palatinaeans sought to exploit this alliance before outright turning on Plagueis during the Orian Incursion. This betrayal has driven a wedge between the two units, and has created a bloody hatred between them.

* '''[[Naga Sadow]]''': Turned on by Palatinae during the Orian Incursion, during which Plagueis invaded their worlds, the House of Sadow fought a vicious guerrilla war against Plagueian and Palatinaean forces and ultimately managed to drive their aggressors off of their world.

== Typical Clan Actions & Reactions==
The loss of their dominion has transformed Plagueis, erasing all aspects of their former legacy and leaving Plagueis as the embodiment of their motto of "Adapt, Ascend, and Avail". It has also made them fierce and violent. Plagueians like to utilize their newly untethered nature and secretive base to move throughout the vastness of the galaxy and confuse their enemies, striking at random in hit-and-run attacks. Other Houses and Clans hope for peacetime in between attacks; the Plagueian war is one to carve out their own shadow empire, and thus never ends.

When struck, Plagueis will react in kind; only in the Antei system do they refrain from overt warfare. They will typically move against agents of an enemy from the shadows, or launch attacks outright against targets on opposite ends of an enemy's home; by doing this, they hope to fluster and overextend the foe, striking when he is vulnerable. Plagueis does not embrace peace, for peace is a lie.

== Important Figures ==
The following is a list of all members who have had an influence on and impacted [[Plagueis|Clan Plagueis]]. For those who serve in the most distinguished of manners, the title of "[[Di Plagia|di Plagia]]" was bestowed upon them. Listed below are those di Plagia still in service; for their wayward brethren, they need only locate Plagueis, as the Clan is always willing to adopt and initiate Rogues.

Star Chamber

2017-02-01T03:54:40Z

Laren Uscot:

{{eras|former}}
{{construction}}
The '''Star Chamber''' is the [[Grand Master|Grand Master's]] advisory council made up of his predecessors.

== History of the Star Chamber ==
It was during the reign of the [[Dark Lord]] [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] that the [[Star Chamber]] first came to be. A rebellion led by [[Lord]] [[Okemi]], one of the Lords of the [[starwars:Sith_Council|Sith Council]], tried to usurp the throne of the Dark Lord. The insurrection failed and Lord Okemi was exiled to the [[Antei System]].

For the next thousand years Okemi used his ancient sorcery to prolong his life, ruling the primitive inhabitants of the planet [[Antei]] as a god. Eventually he was discovered by a pair of [[Sith]] cultists following the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]], a [[Krath]] called [[Tiamat]] and a [[starwars:Mecrosa|Mecrosa]] assassin called [[Ferran]]. Together they established a new following known as the Star Chamber. However, to be united by hatred is a fragile alliance at best and eventually the Star Chamber tore itself apart and was destroyed.

=== The Star Chamber Reborn ===
If there is anything that the [[Crona|Other]] gave to the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]], it was the motivation to renew the Star Chamber. Millennia had passed between the demise of Okemi’s Star Chamber and the treachery of that [[Grand Master]], but the need for stability meant a reconstruction of the ancient group was needed. Using the creation of the [[Clan]] and [[House]] structures as a front for their own consolidation of power, [[Grand Master|Grand Masters]] [[Jac Cotelin]], [[Jedgar O. Paladin]] and [[Kreeayt Havok]], along with the wise counsel of Master [[Yoni]], made the preparations that led to the development of the '''Overclan'''. The [[Dark Council]] at the time knew of the happenings, but knew little the result or the progress. By the time Jac '''Cotelin''' left his position on the [[Iron Throne]], the Star Chamber had been reborn.

It was during the Golden Reign of [[Justinian Khyron]] that the Star Chamber consolidated its power. The Grand Master led the Brotherhood with a strong iron fist. He was not without assistance though – the Star Chamber grew powerful during this period, enacting the [[Sith Lord]]’s will. Today, the Star Chamber remains just as powerful, with Khyron himself supposedly [[Lord of the Star Chamber|leading charge]].

=== Structure of the Star Chamber ===
It should be noted that the Star Chamber is not only a group of powerful [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]], but also that it is a physical construct for the group’s meetings. None can say where our Lords constructed the physical Star Chamber. It is strongly believed that the chamber is on [[Antei|Antei Prime]]. However, the firms who oversaw the erection of the [[Dark Hall]] and other facilities of the Brotherhood never referenced a project fitting the needs of the Temple facility. Presumably, those who sit on the Chamber constructed it themselves, somewhere beyond the prying senses of lesser Brethren. We do know that, indeed, someone built the Chamber, most certainly to the exacting design of the former Temple of Okemi.

We infer the design of the structure using ancient records and the few words spoken by those who are certainly members of the Star Chamber. It would be a massive spherical chamber with a floating central dais of circular stone in the center. Perfect cold blackness fills the air, with representative pinpoints of light in the darkness, like sand upon a dark glass.

There is no door, and the only way into the Chamber would be through the Force itself. This has led some to speculate the Star Chamber is not even a physical place, but a metaphysical construct of the Sith Lords within the Dark Side itself. While plausible, this is highly unlikely. Not even [[Lord]] [[Jedgar O. Paladin|Paladin]] is said to have the strength to exist within the boiling passion of the Dark Side as a physical being.

Regardless of the physical nature of the Star Chamber, the [[Elder|Elders]] and [[Grand Master|Grand Masters]] who govern the progress of the Brethren meet at the whim of the [[Lord of the Star Chamber]], and travel to his council chambers upon his summons.

=== The Overclan ===
Alternatively called the '''Overclan''', the '''Clan of the Dark Council''', and sometimes, albeit rather erroneously, the '''Council of Sith Lords''' in memory of the [[starwars:Sith_Council|Sith Council]] of the first [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Star Chamber acts as the guiding force of the Six [[Clan|Clans]]. The whim of the Chamber directs the ebb and flow of conflict between and within the Clans and their aligned [[House|Houses]]. While the Chamber certainly does not directly rule the Clans, its political influence within the [[Dark Council]] cannot be dismissed.

The activities of the Star Chamber in its capacity as the '''Overclan''' are the most misunderstood and secretive. The Chamber does not often directly interfere in the Clans, and even when it has, its influence will not noticed unless the Chamber reveals it. It is neither the direct antagonist nor protagonist. It serves the Iron Throne as a balancing force and steward of the Covenant between the [[Dark Lord of the Sith]] and the Brethren.

=== Elders on the Star Chamber ===
Up until recently, No one in the history of the Brotherhood had been able to confirm or deny the presence of Elders below the rank of Grand Master obtaining membership status. Some argue that there was no possible way for the Chamber to function without the assistance of the Elders; the Grand Masters are surely too caught up in their own affairs. Many, however, believe that the Grand Masters do devote significant time to their Star Chamber duties and have no need for any Elder assistance.

The evidence of Elders being allowed into the Chamber was scarce. Perhaps the best example was Master Yoni. During the re-founding years of the Star Chamber, Jac Cotelin was known to consult heavily with the powerful and wise Master Yoni. Some felt that this consultation was so necessary, that Cotelin actually allowed the Master to attend those first Star Chamber meetings that took place between himself, Grand Master Havok and Grand Master Paladin.

Many members have laid claim that the enigmatic [[Seven]] that led the Brotherhood during exodus were members of the modern Star Chamber. On this, the record seems to be clear, however, every Grand Master questioned on the subject has denied the admission of the Seven into the Star Chamber.

However, all these discussions became outdated, when [[Darth Pravus]] announced two Elders would be joining the Star Chamber.

== Members of the Star Chamber ==
The most powerful beings to hold influence within the Brotherhood are the [[Dark Lord of the Sith]] and the [[Grand Master#Former_Grand_Masters|Grand Masters Emeritus]]. They are the true power of the Star Chamber. Their words of counsel to the reigning Dark Lord are given the greatest weight and their commands are obeyed unquestioned by the Elders of the Dark Side. By their sides are two Elders, chosen by those two Grand Masters who resigned most recently.

Theoretically, all Grand Masters Emeritus are granted a seat within the Star Chamber. In practice only five are seen with any regularity. [[Lord]] [[Zoraan]] is presumed destroyed, although flickers of his presence were felt during the Exodus. [[Crona]] was exiled and certainly destroyed, although his spiritual presence still exists. Even within the remaining five, [[Chi-Long]] has made his discontent known and supposedly refuses to return to the chamber.

Regardless of all speculation, those [[Sith Lord|Sith Lords]] who counsel the [[Grand Master]] are certainly the most powerful of all the Brethren. The [[Dark Covenant|Covenant]] between the Brethren and the [[Iron Throne]] grants the members sweeping authority over specific matters of tradition within the Brotherhood. They act upon their authority, as their wisdom requires.

== Powers and duties of the Star Chamber ==
The Star Chamber acts as the Executive Board of the Brotherhood. Their primary function is to advise the ruling Grand Master, but they are also responsible for the long-term health of the Brotherhood. In this capacity, they work with the Grand Master to ensure there are viable long-term, succession and emergency plans in place. Also, like the leaders of the brotherhood answer to the Grand Master, the Grand Master answers to the star chamber, who evaluate and reward his work. However, there are other duties, too:

==== Grand Master Appointment ====
One of the most visible tasks of the Star Chamber is part of the Grand Master Appointment. As outlined in the Covenant, any candidate the Electorate selects must be ratified by the Star Chamber. They will decide if the candidate is a viable one, and not detrimental to the long-term health of the Brotherhood. If they veto the candidate, the Electorate must vote on a new candidate.

==== Acting Grand Master ====
In the case of a vacant Grand Master positition, and if the Deputy Grand Master is unable to serve, a member of the Star Chamber will temporarily take the position, until a new Grand Master is sworn in. They have the authority to run day-to-day operations, but are not allowed to make any changes to policy or structure, nor may they appoint any Dark Council members or Unit leaders.

==== Removal of the Grand Master ====
The Star Chamber may vote to remove a Grand Master. This decision needs to be followed by a majority vote of the Electorate. Also, in the case of a pending Indictment order, either Star Chamber or Electorate decision is needed for the Grand Master to be prosecuted by the Justicar.

==== Chamber of Justice ====
The Star Chamber may decide to remove the Justicar. Also, if the Justicar recuses himself for whatever reason in a specific trial, he can appoint a member from among the Star Chamber, Dark Council, or the Former Justicars to oversee that case. This choice needs to be approved by either the Grand Master or the Star Chamber. The members of the Star Chamber and Dark Council can also be asked upon to mediate complaints.

==== Independent Unit Creation ====
Normally, the Grand Master has the authority to create a new independent unit. However, if an independent unit was already created less then six months ago, the creation of another needs the approval of the Star Chamber, to ensure the existing membership is not spread too thin.

== Members of the Star Chamber ==

* Grand Master (Incumbent): [[Darth Pravus]]
* Grand Master Emeritus: [[Jac Cotelin]]
* Grand Master Emeritus: [[Muz Ashen]]
* Temporary Member: [[Valhavoc|Val Cole]]
* Temporary Member: [[Korras|Darth Aeternus]]

'''Clan Plagueis''' is one of the Dark Brotherhood's seven [[Clans]]. Barely escaping the destruction of the [[Jusadih System]] Plagueis became a shadowy force, enslaving thousands to form a new army and taking a new [[Ascendant Fleet]] by force. Initially thought to be destroyed by every [[House]] and [[Clan]] in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], Clan Plagueis has risen from the ashes to become a powerful force answering to the will of the [[Grand Master]].

[[File:Plagueis.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Darth Plagueis the Wise]]
The legendary [[starwars:Sith Lord|Sith Lord]], [[starwars:Darth Plagueis|Darth Plagueis’]] past is shrouded in mystery. A [[starwars:Muun|Muun]], whose influence touched events in the [[starwars:The Galaxy|galaxy]] for over half a century, Plagueis was discovered and trained by the unknown [[starwars:Sith Master|Sith Master]] of the time. Little more is known of the Muun Sith Lord’s past other than his choice of apprentice, [[starwars:Palpatine|Darth Sidious]].

Although the specific events are unknown, Plagueis chose a gifted Nabooian known as Palpatine. Plagueis trained young Palpatine and declared him furthermore to be known as Darth Sidious. It is believed Plagueis realized that he had found the Sith Lord that would complete the millennium-old plan of Darth Bane: revenge and destruction of the Jedi Order.

From Sidious, it is known that Plagueis trained his apprentice in both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, revealing Darth Plagueis’ wisdom in the necessity understanding one’s enemy, the Jedi, to assure their eventual destruction. Also revealed by his apprentice, Plagueis was fascinated with the concept of immortality and the possibilities of spontaneous generation, forcing him to delve into the deepest, darkest areas of the Force. By successfully influencing midi-chlorians, Darth Plagueis was able to save people from dying and create life.

After Plagueis had taught his apprentice everything he knew, Sidious killed him in his sleep, declaring himself the new Sith Master. With the ironic death of Plagueis, his legacy through his apprentice survived as Darth Sidious became the Sith Lord destined to take the final steps, to walk among the Jedi unseen, to bring about the destruction of the Jedi Order and the collapse of the Galactic Republic.

== History ==
{{Main|[[Clan Plagueis history]]|History of Clan Plagueis}}

The prelude to disaster for then House Plagueis came in the form of [[Sense#Vision|precognitive visions]] glimpsed by [[Quaestor]] [[Tra'an Reith|Reith]]. An [[Equite]], Reith lacked the ability to see these visions during anything other than sleep or extreme meditation, and as such had no way to explore or examine the visions beyond faint glimpses. These visions showed destruction, mayhem, and carnage for the Ascendant House, and all invariably led to one conclusion - the total obliteration of all that Plagueis had built.

First during the [[Tenth Great Jedi War|Invasion of New Tython]], then during the [[Summer Invasion (PLA)|Orian Incursion]], and again over a dozen other conflicts, Plagueis attempted to head off the disaster. With each victory or defeat, the House would breathe a collective sigh, only to realize that the threat had not yet passed. It was during the [[Horizons|Horizon Crisis]] that the true menace would find the House of Ascendancy; the [[Jusadih Military Regime]], the puppet government of their home system, would fall into chaos as the Dark Jedi in charge went insane. As all became anarchy and the forces of the House mustered to survive, the forces of [[Zoraan|Archibald Zoraan]] swept through the system, blasting it apart. Even as the forces orbiting each planet worked to destroy those below, bioweaponry and other toxins were deployed to ruin any chance of recolonization. With the death of [[Chi Long]] and the release of a [[starwars:Starweird|Starweird]] into the system, it was not long before Jusadih was reduced to ashes. Barely surviving, even while aided by [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]] against the enemy, the Plagueians were forced to flee into Hyperspace in a blind jump aboard the badly damaged flagship [[NSD Ascendancy|''Ascendancy'']], the rest of the Brotherhood knowing only Arcona's report of their destruction.

Coming out of lightspeed, the Plagueians found themselves within the outer reaches of the [[starwars:Stygian Caldera|Stygian Caldera]]. Near their position drifted a derelict space station, a relic of the Great Galactic War. Sending out a call to the remaining Plagueians who had not been aboard the ''Ascendancy'', Tra'an Reith sought to rebuild. After the [[Saraask'ar]] were brought to heel and the station boarded, Plagueis set itself toward repairs and refit.

Using their cargo and parts, they were able to make the ''Ascendancy'' spaceworthy once again. At the direction of the Quaestor Solus Gar worked with the leader of the trandoshans, [[Tress'kar]], to imprison and guard the crewmen of the rescue ships ships they would draw to the edge of the Caldera with a distress beacon. The reptiles kept their charges secure while [[Emar Xu|Doctor Xu]] and [[Braecen Kaeth]] set out to fulfill Tra'an's vision. Once it was complete, the newly ascendant Dread Lord Reith revealed his project - a slave army, formed of [[Ravagers|Ravager]] soldiers and [[Subjugates|Subjugate]] crewmen. With the core of a new army at hand and a repaired ship, raids were launched and Plagueis began to become strong again. Working off of intel from [[Alaris Jinn di Plagia|Alaris Jinn]], Plagueis forces infiltrated the Galactic Alliance base at [[starwars:Ord Pardron|Ord Pardron]] and captured or sabotaged the task force of ships lying at anchor there. The ships were renamed, their crews enslaved or killed, and Plagueis departed with the new [[Ascendant Fleet]] under the cover of the ''Ascendancy'' to regroup.

With the other Houses and Clans thinking Plagueis dead, the leadership of Plagueis was content to allow that fiction to remain intact. The other Dark Jedi of the Brotherhood fought for the positions their vital members had lost, while those who had survived Zoraan's onslaught sought to capitalize on the advantages and disadvantages of one less House. Only two amongst their ranks - the Grand Master and his Shadow Hand - would know the truth whole truth of Plagueis's survival, with the Dark Councilors informed of the details that concerned their various dominions.

With the beginning of the [[Dark Crusade|campaign]] against the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] in retaliation for their attacks on the Brotherhood, House Plagueis emerged from its seclusion during the battle for Nfolgai. Throughout the campaign, Plagueis was a force to be reckoned with, driving their enemies before them repeatedly. Following their victory on Ziost, the Grand Master saw fit to elevate them to the level of Clan.

A slew of defeats at the hands of the One Sith and other members of the Brotherhood threw Plagueis into hiding. However, from the shadows, the Clan emerged with control over a major galactic company, a new and powerful military, and a leadership with an iron resolve to prove to the Iron Throne that Clan Plagueis was a force to be reckoned with. They quelled undesirables and Jedi in conflicts on Florrum and Aliso, and it is only just the beginning.

== Clan Organization ==
=== Clan Officials ===
====Dread Lord====
The Consul of Clan Plagueis is styled the Dread Lord of Plagueis and is the autocratic ruler of the Clan and all its holdings. The Dread Lord is the supreme ruler of the entirety of Plagueis, serving as governmental leader as well as supreme military commander. The Dread Lord also determines the division of the spoils of any conflict engaged in by Plagueis, even those undertaken by the leaders of [[Ajunta Pall]] and [[Karness Muur]]. The Dread Lord swears fealty to the Iron Throne.

====Dread Lord's Wrath====
The position of Dread Lord's Wrath is occupied by the Proconsul of House Plaguies. The Wrath serves as a personal enforcer and executioner for the Dread Lord, taking orders directly from and answering only to him. Unlike the rest of the Dread Lord's servants, who are bound to his will by a dark side ritual, the Wrath is given autonomy. The Wrath is second in authority only to the Dread Lord, commanding similar levels of authority over those subordinate to him in the Clan on the assumption that he acts to project the Dread Lord's will.

====Overseer====
The Rollmaster of Clan Plagueis is styled with the ancient Sith title of Overseer and charged with oversight over the training of new Dark Jedi. The Overseer also directs the indoctrination and training of new slaves in their service to the Ascendant Clan.

====Vassals====
The Quaestors of the Houses of Plagueis are referred to as Vassals, having entered into a sworn loyalty to the Dread Lord in the context of the feudal system of the Clan. The obligations of the Vassals include military support and the return of tribute to the Dread Lord, in exchange for certain privileges including the grant of military assets to form a fief. The Vassals of Plagueis are also allowed to appoint an Aedile to serve as their second. The Quaestors are known as:
*Ajunta Pall: Left Wing of Dread
*Karness Muur: Right Wing of Dread

====di Plagia====
Those honored with the title di Plagia are the honored elders of Clan Plagueis, those who have demonstrated the utmost loyalty, dedication, and activity. The di Plagia serve as counselors to the Dread Lord and his servants. Given nearly the same level of respect and reverence as the Dread Lord, the di Plagia hold little authority of command and instead function as high-ranking political advisors.

=== House Ajunta Pall ===
{{Main|[[Ajunta Pall]]}}

Ajunta Pall’s forces are lead by its Dark Jedi members the same way the Sith led the [[Starwars:Imperial Military (Sith Empire)|Imperial Military]] during the [[Starwars:Great Galactic War|Great Galactic War]]. By and large, the Dark Jedi of Ajunta Pall are used predominantly as the “shock-troopers” of the Battleteam and theoretically are used sparingly during combat. In practice, however, given the aggressive nature of most Dark Jedi, specifically those in Ajunta Pall, these Dark Jedi will most often be found on the front lines of any battle.

=== House Karness Muur ===
{{Main|[[Karness Muur]]}}

One could safely say that one of the reasons the Brotherhood, and in particular Plagueis, was so devastated by the Horizon Crisis was the fact they were caught unaware. The enemy struck without warning with devastating force. Plagueis could not afford for this to happen again, particularly in its current state. Hence, the newly knighted [[Arden Karn]] was tasked with assembling a team of individuals that specialized in information gathering and more subtle forms of war. Karness Muur would be the eyes, ears, and when necessary “finger” of Plagueis.

== Government ==
The devastation wrought by the Horizons Crisis in 30 ABY had a profound impact on the government of Plagueis. The Jusadih Military Regime would fall with Jusadih, paving the way for new governance of the Ascendant Clan. Where the Regime was steeped in the military traditions and formalized structure of the Imperial Military, the new feudal structure ruling Plagueis would be closely modeled on the magocracy of the old Sith Empire.

The title and position of Dread Lord is given to the leader strong enough unite the entirety of the Clan under his banner and seize control through power, cunning, and mastery of the Force. The Dread Lord is the absolute ruler of Plagueis with unquestioned authority. The cabal of Force wielders beneath him is the Synod, made up of the Dread Lord's Wrath, the Overseer, any duly appointed Vassals and their seconds, and the di Plagia. Many of the members of the Synod are assigned a specific area of authority, or sphere of influence. Slaves, information gathering, or command of a fief were just some of the spheres that the Synod members could be designated to oversee. The control exerted by the Dread Lord and Synod were absolute, even over the other Dark Jedi of the House regardless of rank.

The unrestricted authority of the Dread Lord and Synod does not, however, translate to unrestrained loyalty amongst the members of the Clan. Like any Dark Jedi, those members of Plagueis with power often want more and those that lack it desire to attain it. Political factions are known to form within the ranks of the Clan, coalitions formed around powerful individuals. While the Dread Lord maintains his own network of intelligence gathering assets, many members of the Synod and the House's Equities maintain their own resources both within Plagueis and without. Knowing of a rivals weakness or of an opportunity to elevate oneself in the eyes of the Dread Lord can serve as a powerful motivator to keep information away from the other members of the House.

== Society and Culture ==
=== Culture ===
The culture of Plagueis following the Horizons Crisis is very different from that which came before, one that is far more Force driven than its predecessor. The trappings of the more civilized Empire of Palpatine and the Imperial period have given way to something that shares far more with the Empire of the Sith of Ziost. Plagueis would instead thrive on slavery and exploitation. Given the consequences of Horizons, the leadership of Plagueis lived under the constant belief that if knowledge of their location were known, they would face the threat of external attack.

Clan Plagueis is the only unit in the Dark Brotherhood to lack a planetary dominion, and its internal society reflects this. The do not concern themselves with the minutiae of the day to day oversight of government or the needs of a people. They instead bring others to heel, be they colonial governors, independent settlements, etc., forcing those they conquer or intimidate into swearing fealty to the Dread Lord and the Clan. Ruling their own "Empire" through intermediaries allows the Clan to maintain control over the resources it needs to survive while also insulating them from direct attack.

Plagueians follow an aggressive interpretation of the philosophy of the [[Final Way]], a Brotherhood doctrine first observed by [[Okemi]] and revived by the Dark Lord [[Kane Vader]]. They see it as their duty to expand through conquest; in doing so, they seek to gradually convert all survivors into Dark Siders or slaves and bring about an era of ferocity, power, and darkness for the Galaxy. Like the Sith of old, they realize that their goal could take time, and thus they are content to live with war in their hearts and blood on their hands for the foreseeable future.

=== Castes ===
Like the ancient Sith Empire, Plagueis would also adopt a hierarchy built on a rigid caste system and stratified rank structure to put its subjects in their proper places. The caste system is broadly divided between Force users, non-Force users that serve the House, and slaves, with specific levels within those classes.

*'''Lords of Plagueis''' : The Dread Lord and members of the Synod make up the highest level of Plagueian society. Elevation to this level is determined solely by the Dread Lord, though the counsel of the Synod is often consulted. Members of this caste will have their name preceded by “Lord” when addressed formally by a subordinate or member of a lower caste. On very rare occasions, the Dread Lord will elevate non-Force users to this station. These individuals are rare, and will often have performed extraordinary service to the Dread Lord. They also represent the absolute apex of skill and deadliness amongst the members of the Clan unable to touch the Force.

*'''Force Users''' : The second highest level of Plagueian caste system is made up of the remaining Dark Jedi that are not a part of the Synod. In keeping with the magocratic structure of Plagueis, the Dark Jedi are superior to all those that lack Force ability. Any non-Force user is expected to refer to a Force user that has completed their trials of knighthood as “my lord” out of respect.

*'''The Willing''' : Not all that serve the Dark Jedi of Plagueis are slaves or others forcefully brought to heel. There are those that serve willingly, and these members of Plagueis make up the third caste within the House. These non-Force users are considered full citizens of the House and enjoy more freedom and privileges than those below them. Many that make up this caste come from the remains of the Jusadih Military Regime and the officers and men that survived the Horizons Crisis. Still others come from those who Plagueis capture that are willing to serve their new dark lords freely. Only those who unquestioningly demonstrate their loyalty by allowing the depths of their psyches to be laid bare with the Force are granted this place in Plagueian society.
[[File:Trandoshans.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Members of the [[Saraask'ar]].]]

*'''[[Saraask'ar]]''' : Originally paid mercenaries of House Plagueis, the Saraask'ar Clan are now direct subjects of the House following their failed attempt to seize control of the Ascendency and the House's resources after the Horizons Crisis. The Trandoshan slavers occupy a unique position in the caste hierarchy, being neither free nor slaves. Given some autonomy, the Saraask'ar are not given the rights of citizens of the House. They are, however, the only caste that is able to engage in direct contact with the galaxy at large without requiring the direct permission of the Dread Lord, serving as a buffer to protect the knowledge of the survival of Plagueis. The Saraask'ar's clan chief is allowed greater privileges within Plagueis then his subordinates, such as being allowed to advise the Synod and sit in on war councils.

*'''Slaves''' : The lowest level of Plagueian society are the slaves. Ranging from the standard, shock collared laborers to those warped by the Force such as the [[Subjugates]], [[Ravagers]], and [[Wraiths]], the Slaves make up the single largest segment of the House. Lacking any rights or privileges beyond controlled access to basic necessities, the slaves of Plagueis are the property of their masters. They are allowed only what they are given; disobedience and insolence are punished viciously. Should a slave become crippled, resources are not wasted; they are put down, quickly if they served well and slowly if they fail. Slaves that lash out against a Dark Jedi of Plagueis, or their protected servants and envoys, can expect a severe punishment or even death. Any slave that is taken into Plagueis will never be allowed to leave the House alive, preserving the secret of Plagueis's survival with their lives.

== Economy ==
Following the escape from Jusadih, the economy of Plagueis did not come from legitimate sources; all of their assets come from piracy, raiding, black market sales, and the slave trade. As the House strengthened into a Clan, the Dread Lord Montresor built a plan to create a more permanent form of economic support through the control of colonies, outposts, and settlements through their governing bodies. No longer would Plagueis have to subsist on what it could carry away, instead they would be able to build a secretive Empire of resources and servant states through leaders forced to align themselves with the Ascendant Clan.

By far the largest export for the Clan directly is in trafficking trained slaves. The vast majority of those sentients seized by the Clan are unsuited for the needs of Plagueis, and are instead handed over to the Saraask'ar for training and sale. These slaves will never see the interior of a Plagueian ship or the Anchorage, and are instead transported to one of the various Saraask'ar enclaves for indoctrination. Sold on the [[starwars:Invisible Market|Invisible Market]], these slaves bring in most of the Clan's direct income. Following the ascension to Clanhood, Plagueis began to see more and more revenue from the secretive, shadow empire that began to be forged by the Dread Lord.

== Military ==
===Command===
There is little differentiation between House Plagueis and its military, as they are nearly one and the same. Every Dark Jedi holds military authority, every man is a soldier, and even the most docile of slaves provide logistical support for the Plagueian war machine. While the Dread Lord maintains overall command of the military forces, his Wrath acts as the military [[starwars:Executor (Imperial rank)|executor]] and oftentimes commands the fleet or elements of it in the Dread Lord's stead. Many of the highest command positions of the fleet and army of Plagueis are held by the Clan's Dark Jedi, using a similar structure to that employed by the resurgent Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War.

===Ascendant Fleet===
The [[Ascendant Fleet]] is centered around the powerful [[Khyron-class Star Destroyer|''Khyron''-class]] [[KSD Transcendent|''Transcendent'']]. The ''Transcendent'' acts as the Clan flagship and leads the fleet in large engagements. The Bothan Assault Cruisers [[BAC Harrower|''Harrower'']] and [[BAC Terminus|''Terminus'']], along with escort vessels and troops, supplement the power of the ''Transcendent'' and are often given over to the authority of the Wrath and Overseer.

The twin [[starwars:Nebula-class Star Destroyer|''Nebula''-class]] destroyers [[NSD Ascendancy|''Ascendancy'']] and [[NSD Preeminence|''Preeminence'']], along with their own escort vessels, are each assigned to one of the Clan's two Houses. While independent from the wider Ascendant Fleet, these units serve the will of the Dread Lord and must heed his orders.

The starfighter forces of House Plagueis are no longer made up primarily of outdated Imperial types dating from the Galactic Civil War. Instead, the House has primarily adopted fighters designed by the New Republic and it's members. Later model X-wing and E-wing fighters support K-wing bombers and Corellian designs to form the starfighter wings assigned to the Fleet's capital ships.

===Ascendant Legion===
[[File:Acclamatorplagueis.jpg|thumb|180px|left|The ''Ravager'' exiting the surface of a planet.]]
The majority of the [[Ascendant Legion]] is made up of indoctrinated slaves such as the [[Ravagers]], [[Wraiths]], and [[Subjugates]]. These troops, like those of the Sith Empire before, emphasize ruthlessness, a near-suicidal disregard for personal safety, and the use of cruelty as a standard weapon in order to weaken opponents with terror. The conditioned slaves are supported by more standard enslaved sentients and directly lead by officers of The Willing. Most of the small unit leaders in the Legion are former officers or soldiers from before the fall of Jusadih. Balmorran [[SD-10 battle droid - Plagueis|SD-10 battle droids]]
serve as the shock troops of Plagueis, often as the first military forces to enter a battle, while [[B2 super battle droid - Plagueis|B2 super battle droids]] supplement the infantry forces of the Clan.The infantry is also supported by mechanized forces formed into fast moving units on the ground as well as by starfighters and combat airspeeders in the air. The main body of the Ascendant Legion operates from the [[ACC Ravager|''Ravager'']], an [[starwars:Acclamator I-class assault ship|Acclamator I-class assault ship]] captured from the Galactic Alliance. This ship is used when any large scale planetary assaults are called for by the Dread Lord.

==Astrography==
===The Anchorage===
:Main Article: [[The Anchorage]]

Constructed before the Great Galactic War for military purposes, the Anchorage was a strategic coordination center during the war. Lost during the Republic’s Invasion into Sith space, it remained hidden – lost in the nebula – for centuries. Not until 30 ABY, under the leadership of Dread Lord Tra’an Reith, would the outpost be discovered. A blind hyperspace jump, guided by the Force, brought Plagueis to the doorstep of the derelict station. Recognizing the potential it presented in the face of losing a second Dominion, the Clan established The Anchorage as a waypoint and repair station. As time went on, it would become the forward operating base; allowing the Clan to strike targets across the galaxy and retreat into the shroud provided by the Stygian Caldera.

===The Stygian Caldera===
:Main Article: [[starwars:Stygian Caldera|Stygian Caldera]]

A large nebulosity that surrounded the Ancient Sith Worlds – Korriban, Dromund Kaas, Ziost – region of the galaxy. The nebula – a cloud of dust and gas – acts as a hypersatial breakwater. This makes navigation in and out of the anomaly difficult, but provides the necessary secrecy for the operations of Clan Plagueis. Here, protected from outside meddling, the Anchorage resides. With the fall of both the Acarr and Jusadih Systems, it was decided that the Clan would forgo the traditional open rule of their dominion. Instead, lurking in the shadows as they build and operate their more clandestine empire.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===

* '''[[Tarentum]]''': The Tarenti, never particularly fond of Plagueis, have resolved their differences and are currently allies with Clan Plagueis. Having assisted former leaders of the Clan with the capture and subsequent loss of a Sith Bloodstone, the Tarenti also lend their resources to aid the rising Plagueis in other ways, as well.

=== Neutral ===
*'''[[Arcona]]''': Having tried to aid Plagueis during the destruction of Jusadih, the Shadow Clan is one of the few that Plagueis does not have a direct animosity towards.

* '''[[Taldryan]]''': Allied with Naga Sadow for some time, Taldryan has despised Plagueis from its controversial inception. Having taken a sore blow against Zoraan during Horizons, the Brotherhood Within a Brotherhood thought that Plagueis had been destroyed and sought to salvage their power.

=== Enemies ===
* '''[[Odan-Urr]]''': The Jedi of Odan-Urr have been recognized as a threat to and defiance of the Final Way as followed by Plagueis. In a galaxy that the Ascendant seek to plunge into darkness, they stand tall and uphold the light, making them the hated foe of Plagueis.

* '''[[Scholae Palatinae]]''': Having allied with Plagueis before the fall of Jusadih, the Imperial-minded Palatinaeans sought to exploit this alliance before outright turning on Plagueis during the Orian Incursion. This betrayal has driven a wedge between the two units, and has created a bloody hatred between them.

* '''[[Naga Sadow]]''': Turned on by Palatinae during the Orian Incursion, during which Plagueis invaded their worlds, the House of Sadow fought a vicious guerrilla war against Plagueian and Palatinaean forces and ultimately managed to drive their aggressors off of their world.

== Typical Clan Actions & Reactions==
The loss of their dominion has transformed Plagueis, erasing all aspects of their former legacy and leaving Plagueis as the embodiment of their motto of "Adapt, Ascend, and Avail". It has also made them fierce and violent. Plagueians like to utilize their newly untethered nature and secretive base to move throughout the vastness of the galaxy and confuse their enemies, striking at random in hit-and-run attacks. Other Houses and Clans hope for peacetime in between attacks; the Plagueian war is one to carve out their own shadow empire, and thus never ends.

When struck, Plagueis will react in kind; only in the Antei system do they refrain from overt warfare. They will typically move against agents of an enemy from the shadows, or launch attacks outright against targets on opposite ends of an enemy's home; by doing this, they hope to fluster and overextend the foe, striking when he is vulnerable. Plagueis does not embrace peace, for peace is a lie.

== Important Figures ==
The following is a list of all members who have had an influence on and impacted [[Plagueis|Clan Plagueis]]. For those who serve in the most distinguished of manners, the title of "[[Di Plagia|di Plagia]]" was bestowed upon them. Listed below are those di Plagia still in service; for their wayward brethren, they need only locate Plagueis, as the Clan is always willing to adopt and initiate Rogues.

'''[[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]]''' is the body of [[Sons of Sadow|Sons]], [[Sons of Sadow|Daughters]] and [[Disciple of Sadow|Disciples]] who serve [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]], the [[Overlord (Naga Sadow)|heir]] of the [[Sadow dynasty]] and [[Overlord (Naga Sadow)|Overlord]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the Clan]]. The [[Clan]] was reformulated in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]], formed out of [[Clan Naga Sadow|the union]] of the [[starwars:Sith_cult|cults]] of [[starwars:Marka_Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo_Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the [[Sadow dynasty]] reaffirmed its singular rule. It operates under the cover of the [[Dlarit Corporation]]. In recent years the Clan's followers have also adopted the teachings of [[Urias Orian]] in addition to those of its three originating cults of disciples.

== Brief history ==
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by [[starwars:Force_ghost|a ghost]] who inspired him to gather rogue [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to his banner. Tron did this, bringing together a ragtag group from various backgrounds at his home on [[Sif]], of which he was then the [[starwars:Governor|governor]]. The spirit then revealed itself to be [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|Naga Sadow]] and Tron sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as [[Clan Naga Sadow]].

For a time the Clan operated peacefully under the guise of the Dlarit Corporation until the [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|betrayal]] of the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]] and the ensuing [[Exodus]]. Led by the visions of Urias Orian as discerned by [[Trevarus Caerick]] through his [[Amulet of Orian|Amulet]], the Clan relocated to the lost [[Orian system]] and adopted many of the forgotten teachings found there. The Clan and Corporation then prospered for several years until the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong_War|invasion]] of [[starwars:The_Galaxy|the galaxy]] by the [[starwars:Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] and the five years of warfare that followed.

The Yuuzhan Vong War took its toll and the Clan lost much, not just [[Journeymen|journeymen]] but even among its greatest [[Elders|elders]]; some fell in battle, but many more were lost in spirit. During the war Orian became something of a haven for refugees and its cities bulged at the walls to support them, but they helped maintain the armed forces in the face of the many threats the system faced over the years. Even with the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong_Empire|Vong Empire]] defeated, the Orian Sector remains a particularly dangerous location.

As the Clan looked to the future, it worked to strengthen itself should anything like the Yuuzhan Vong War happen again. To this end the recruit-based [[Dlarit Security Force]] was slowly replaced with a loyal [[starwars:Clone|clone army]] in the form of the [[DSOG|Special Operations Group]]. Having weathered the Vong, the Clan believed it could survive anything and returned to working towards the reestablishment of the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|true Sith Empire]], as led by the Sadow dynasty as the heirs to the [[starwars:Naga_Sadow|last true]] [[starwars:Emperor|emperor]]. To this end, the [[Sadow dynasty|House of Sadow]] returned from the shadows, bringing all its [[Disciples of Sadow|disciples]] under one banner for the first time in nearly two decades as [[Naga Sadow|House Naga Sadow]]. While the cults of Ragnos and Kressh remain, Clan Sadow continues to look toward the future and its Overlord's vision of one, united Sadow Empire.

== The Clan==

=== Sadow dynasty ===
The Sadow dynasty is the direct line of descendants from Naga Sadow, who is seen by them to have been the last true [[starwars:Dark_Lord_of_the_Sith|Dark Lord]] and Emperor of the Sith Empire. The Clan is built upon Naga Sadow’s vision of the reestablishment of a monarchic empire led by his descendants. The dynasty has sworn allegiance to the [[Star Chamber]]’s [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] not so much out of genuine fealty but a mutual self-interest—the Brotherhood provides resources and in exchange the Clan lends its armies.

==== The Overlord ====
The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, is prince of the Sadow dynasty and therefore heir apparent to the Imperial throne if and when the true Sith Empire is finally re-established. He is the true ruler of the Clan although he delegates much of its day-to-day running to his Consul. It is on his claims to be the true heir of Naga Sadow and of the vision the spirit of the Dark Lord allegedly relayed to him that the Clan was conceived and has subsequently been built around.

==== Sons of Sadow ====
The [[Sons of Sadow]] are the chosen disciples of the Overlord and are selected for their belief in his vision of a reformed Sith Empire – ruled not by the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber but by the heirs of the Sadow dynasty. Though they hold no official powers the Sons have the ear of the Overlord and exist to ensure the Clan remains committed to his vision and are often the first to deal with those who dare to question it. The betrayal of a Son is one of the darkest days the Clan can face.

=== Sadow Council ===
The Sadow Council is the ruling body of the Clan and oversee the Clan on behalf of the Overlord. Members of the Council have been delegated the authority to govern most day-to-day affairs and generally speak on behalf of the Overlord, representing his interests at home and at [[Antei]]. The Council usually convenes once a month for a [[Naga Sadow Conclave|conclave]] on [[Sepros]] at [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] but emergency conclaves are often called during times of war and may or may not involve the entire Council.

==== The Proconsul ====
The [[Consul]] is chief amongst the Overlord’s followers and acts as his Voice in day-to-day affairs and represents his interests on the [[Dark Council]]. The Consul will also act as Regent if the Overlord is away for a prolonged period. Much of the Consul’s day-to-day work includes the running of the Clan’s corporate interests but he is also in charge of the [[Simus Institute]] at Sadow Palace on Sepros and oversees all training. In addition the Consul is usually the final authority in internal judicial matters unless they should earn the attention of the Dark Council’s own enforcers: the [[Chamber of Justice|Hands of Justice]].

==== Summit ====
The work of the Consul is supported by the [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor]]s, [[Aedile]]s, [[Rollmaster]] and [[Battleteam Leader]]s who form the [[Clan Summit|Summit]] and make up the bulk of the Council of Sadow. The Proconsul is the Consul's second in command and helps oversee the operations of the Clan on a day-to-day basis. The Aedile is the Quaestor’s direct deputy and aids him however he can. The Battleteam Leaders are the heads of the two cults of Kressh and Ragnos, as well as several of the Overlord's other core disciples, and supervise the training of Dark Jedi in their respective houses, much the way the Consul does for the entire Clan at the Simus Institute. The main academy for disciples of Ragnos is located in [[Alabrek Castle]] at [[Kar Alabrek]]. The former training center of Kressh was located in [[Marakith Skyhook]] above [[Seng Karash]], with facilities within the Lion's Tooth serving as the modern training center for the Dakhani.

==== Inner Circle ====
The members of the [[Naga Sadow Conclave|Inner Circle]] are made up of those individuals who, although holding no official authority, have the ear of the Council of Sadow for one reason or another, and they are often invited to attend the conclaves at Sadow Palace to discuss Clan affairs.

===== Order of the Black Guard =====
The [[Order of the Black Guard]] is to the Summits what the Sons of Sadow are to the Overlord. The identities of the Black Guards are not always known and they are appointed by each member of the Summit to act as their eyes and ears, as well as their mouth and fist. The Black Guard are unanimous with black ops and it is not unheard of for one to be caught in the center of a scandal involving the other disciples. That is but part of the life of a Black Guard and those who receive the tattoo accept it is their duty to fall on their sword should they fail their mission. Back home, the Black Guard operates outside the ordinary chain of command to uphold the will of the Council of Sadow.

===== Inner Order =====
These elders of the Clan may come from different walks of life but have all earned the ear of the Council in their own particular way: maybe because their power simply commands it or perhaps because their loyalty and service have gone above and beyond what has been asked of them. The [[Inner Order (Clan Naga Sadow)|Inner Order]] is much less an official body as it is an example of the [[starwars:Rule_of_the_strong|Rule of the Strong]] in practice whereby the strong shall prosper and the weak who cannot keep up are left behind to fall.

=== The Disciples ===
The cults make up most of the Overlord’s followers. As the only surviving follower of Naga Sadow, Astronicus Sadow was forced to search out and rally whoever he could find, eventually drawing the [[Disciples of Kressh]] and [[Disciples of Ragnos|Ragnos]] to his banner. Though both groups have their own backgrounds, as members of the Clan they are today all [[Disciples of Sadow]] and the foundations of the reborn empire.

Originally the Overlord’s own students formed a [[House Primus Goluud|third gathering]], but their numbers were always small and in the fateful Battle of Darkened Hearts many gave their lives so that the Disciples of Sadow would survive the Exodus. Decimated by the Exodus, the Warriors of Goluud never recovered and were finally destroyed during [[Sixth Great Jedi War|the war]] on Antei against [[Consciousness|the plague]] released by the lingering essence of [[Okemi]].

==== Disciples of Kressh ====
Led by Naga Sadow’s ghost, on [[starwars:Rhelg|Rhelg]], the former homeworld of Sadow’s rival, Astronicus found the lost tribe of Ludo Kressh who had survived [[starwars:Great_Hyperspace_War|the destruction]] of the Sith Empire. Led by Eagleye, the Disciples of Kressh agreed to join Astronicus and they returned with him to [[Ullyr]] in the [[Phare system]]. Though Ludo Kressh is seen as the Betrayer in the eyes of the Disciples of Sadow, the two groups agreed to put the past behind them and work together out of their shared desire to see the Sith Empire resurrected. However, Kressh’s legacy is a constant reminder to the Clan of the need to be vigilant and on the lookout for treachery. It was a dark day when [[Xanos Zorrixor]], the [[Overlords (Disciples of Sadow)|their overlord]], followed in the footsteps of their namesake by betraying the Disciples of Sadow.

==== Disciples of Ragnos ====
The Disciples of Ragnos were formed from a small cult of survivors of the Sith Empire who drifted around the Galaxy before finally settling on [[Karana system|Karana III]]. When Astronicus Sadow began rallying Dark Jedi to his banner seeking to restart the Sith Empire, Ximeno led the Disciples of Ragnos to [[Loki]] in the Phare system and swore allegiance to the Sadow dynasty. Today the Disciples of Ragnos look after much of the old world, overseeing the Great Sadow Library which was first located on Loki but has since been relocated book for book to [[Tarthos]] following the Exodus. They arguably have the closest connection to the legacy of Urias Orian, as interpreted by Trevarus Caerick, their overlord, who rose to be seen as something of a holy figure among the Disciples of Ragnos for his prophetic insight until his betrayal in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|29 ABY]].

The Dlarit Corporation is the public front organization of the Clan and is what any [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] official or ordinary visitor to the Orian system would encounter. The Corporate is a conglomerate made up of several subsidiaries but its main activities include mining and shipping. It formed out of the [[starwars:Xucphra|Xucphra]] [[starwars:Bacta|bacta]] producing corporation after [[starwars:Thyferra|Thyferra]] joined the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]] and Astronicus Dlarit left to join the Empire, withdrawing his shareholdings to form the Dlarit Corporation.

Today the Corporation primarily operates out of the Orian system. It also has officials throughout the Galaxy who source potential employees and maintains a strong presence in the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] where a front organization – [[Kaldex Transport Inc]]. – was set up with laundered Imperial funds to commission the new [[Dlarit Navy]] after the Exodus.

=== Government and politics ===

==== Directorate ====
The Dlarit Corporation is owned by Astronicus Dlarit who chairs the directorate as [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Viceroy|viceroy]]. After the viceroy, the senior official is the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor_General|governor-general]] of Orian who is the ''de facto'' chief executive of the Corporation’s day-to-day management and who is assisted by his [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Deputy_Governor_General|deputy governor-general]]. They in turn are assisted by a number of [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|governors]], [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Lieutenant_Governor|lieutenant governors]] and [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Prefect|military prefects]] who oversee particular worlds and important Corporation assets. The prefects often act as temporary governors during hot spots on civilian colonies such as the [[San Korinar|sky city]] at [[Amphor]].

Though unaffiliated with the central Alliance, the Corporation maintains a [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance_Senate|senate]] [[starwars:Legate|representative]] to cover its account trail and ensure its more questionable and black market activities remain hidden.

==== Civilian management ====
In addition to the senior management the individual subsidiaries have their own civilian presidents and associated support staff. The Corporation also maintains a [[Dlarit Police|civilian police force]] to police the mining colonies and spaceports, as well as a limited civilian representative structure. However, as a commercial entity the Dlarit Corporation has no formal political structure and is ultimately led by the will of the senior directorate—which means for profit and/or the interests of the Clan.

==== Martial law ====
In the years since the outbreak of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion the Corporation has grown increasingly militarised and where before the civilian police were left to maintain order, after the large influx of refugees during the war the number of military prefects has increased and martial law has become more common. The role of the military has also become more central and the sight of special ops units on the streets has become something of a daily occurrence compared to a few years ago.

=== Economy ===
Though the Dlarit Corporation was funded from the proceeds of a bacta corporation it has little in common with the Xucphra Corporation today. Its primary activity is mining and a number of mines have been set up throughout the Orian system to bankroll the interests of the senior directorate. In addition to ordinary minerals, the Corporation’s primary exports come from the mines on Aeotheran which contain a healthy supply of [[starwars:Azurite|azurite]]. The planet also produces [[starwars:Ionite|ionite]] in small quantities which is sold to military buyers for a sizable profit. The second main source of income comes from the mining of [[starwars:Tibana_gas|tibanna gas]] from the lower atmosphere of Amphor.

The Corporation engages in a modest amount of shipping for those buyers who prefer their orders to be shipped direct rather than sending their own convoys to collect. This understandably poses a risk and the Dlarit Security Force polices the Orian Pipeline to keep the lanes to and from the main [[starwars:Hydian_Way|Hydian Way]] safe. During the years of the Yuuzhan Vong War the Corporation was somewhat isolated from much of the Galaxy, so was forced to survive on more local orders from the Corporate Sector.

In addition to the Corporation’s legitimate practices it engages in a number of shadier dealings. In the year running up to the Exodus a number of funds were laundered out of Imperial coffers into a dummy corporation named Kaldex Transport Inc. to fund the construction of the Dlarit Navy. Also, after the discovery of a [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] [[Last Breath Mine|deposit]] on Sepros the native populace was conscripted into the mines as slaves to source supplies for an illegal trade in the highly volatile explosive on the black market which helped fund the Corporation during the slow trade of the Yuuzhan Vong War.

=== Society and culture ===

==== Civilian population ====
The Dlarit Corporation is chiefly a profit driven business and its cultural atmosphere reflects that. Having only been founded by Astronicus Dlarit a few decades ago, the Corporation is still mostly made up of first generation immigrants who came to the Phare system (or more recently the Orian system) seeking employment. The Corporation does what it can to support employee’s families but job opportunities for wives and children have only opened up as the main mining cities have grown.

More recently, during the years of the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Orian system has been forced to play home to thousands of refugees who fled when their worlds in the Rims were invaded. Though some are slowly returning home as their worlds are rebuilt, many from the poor Outer Rim planets that the Galactic Alliance cannot afford to help have been left homeless. However, the Corporation is a commercial organization and cannot support people who do not work. As such, a polarisation has developed between the employees who are classed as citizens of the Orian system, while refugees who are unable to work are treated by many as unwelcome and regarded as freeloaders.

For those who are genuine employees of the Corporation life in the inner districts of Seng Karash or the upper city of San Korinar enjoy a secure and comfortable life. However, life in the designated refugee areas is much harder and there is a strong element of the survival of the fittest. Though the [[Dlarit Police]] run a tight ship in the employee districts, refugees have been left to run riot and crime is rife outside the main city walls of Seng Karash and in the lower levels of San Korinar. Without a personal ship, passage off world is available only via commercial transport at the main spaceport in Seng Karash, but for many refugees stranded in Orian they cannot afford to leave unless they first take a job with the Corporation and save up enough to afford a ticket back to [[starwars:Alliance_Space|Alliance Space]].

==== Military population ====
Back in the Phare system the Dlarit Corporation did not have any armed forces of its own but instead relied on the Imperial Remnant for security. After the relocation to Orian, the Corporation had to create its own [[Dlarit Security Force|Security Force]]. The DSF was made up of recruits from among the ordinary employee population and a garrison town, Kar Alabrek, was set up away from the mining cities on Tarthos. To boost recruit rates – and discourage awkward questions – Kar Alabrek was designed to appeal to the employees working long shifts in the mines more than Seng Karash, and security personnel were provided with greatly superior accommodation and rates of pay.

Cracks emerged in the DSF during the Fall of Antei when the Clan were forced to show their true colors to survive the Yuuzhan Vong attack. More than half of the men who went to Antei died during the battle, and afterwards many more were either sent to [[Gamuslag]] or executed to protect the Corporation’s true identity, leaving a large hole in the DSF. To avoid these problems in the future, the [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]] was created. Formed from the veterans of the Fall of Antei together with clones created with [[starwars:Spaarti|cloning cylinders]] obtained the previous year, DSOG became the first openly Clan-affiliated task force in the Corporation.

In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War, the role of the Corporation’s armed forces has increased dramatically. Members of both the regular security force and special operations units are today a daily sight in the streets not only of Kar Alabrek but throughout Orian’s colonies. Martial law is has been enforced in some regions to stamp out civil unrest between employees and the refugee population. Special ops units have become ubiquitous with unexplained disappearances and a culture of fear has been up among both the civilian and DSF populations regarding what truly goes on at the rumored [[Cenota Facility]]. Despite the slight unease, the clone troopers’ presence is largely welcomed by most employees in light of the work DSOG has done to keep Orian safe during the war.

The Dlarit Defense Force (or DDF) is split into two main divisions: the Dlarit Security Force (or DSF) and the Dlarit Special Operations Group (or DSOG). The DSF is primarily charged with homeland security and the defense of the Orian system itself, along with maintaining law and order across the system’s colonies. DSOG is the only element of the Corporation to know the true identities of the Corporation’s owners. For this reason, DSOG fills a much wider role, performing whatever tasks and black ops assignments the Clan requires of it.

==== Dlarit Security Force ====
The Dlarit Security Force is comprised of several subdivisions that perform various duties throughout the Orian system. All recruits either come from the employee population or from recruitment offices across the Galaxy. In addition to several loyal ex-Imperials from back in the Phare system, the Dlarit Corporation also recruits from the ranks of the Security Division of the nearby Corporate Sector.

===== Dlarit Army =====
In recent years the role of the [[Dlarit Army]] has diminished since the establishment of the Dlarit Special Operations Group but it still serves a number of functions throughout Orian. The army is in charge of the defense of most military sites, such as Kar Alabrek, [[Platform Onyx|''Onyx'']], and parts of the Cenota and [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facilities]], as well as some high security civilian areas such as the main spaceport or those hot spots that have been placed under martial law such as parts of San Korinar. The [[Dlarit Marines|Dlarit Marine]] and [[Dlarit Starfighter Corps|Starfighter Corps]] also form part of the army and help support the main fleet of the Dlarit Navy. The ranks of the Dlarit Military Police and Dlarit Intelligence are also drawn from the army.

===== Dlarit Navy =====
The main subdivision of the DSF is the [[Dlarit Navy]] which consists of the bulk of the Corporation’s naval forces. The navy is charged with the defense of the Orian system itself and polices the surrounding spacelanes such as the Orian Pipeline to and from the nearby Hydian Way. The navy is led by the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Fleet_Commander|fleet commander]] who reports direct to the directorate.

===== Dlarit Police =====
The [[Dlarit Police]] is the force that maintains law and order throughout the Orian system’s civilian colonies, such as at Seng Karash or on San Korinar. Most of the police force are recruited direct from the civilian employee population and is largely made up of those with families who did not want to enlist in the main [[Dlarit Army]]. The [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Police_Commissioner|police commissioner]] reports directly to the senior directorate.

==== Dlarit Special Operations Group ====
In the wake of the Fall of Antei the Corporation realized it needed a more dynamic fighting force to support it during times of war and that was aware of its true nature. The Dlarit Special Operations Group was the answer and is made up of the [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] colonists who moved to Orian from Phare, the veterans of the Fall of Antei who accepted their masters’ true identities, and – primarily – clones grown using the Spaarti cloning cylinders recovered by the Clan in late 26 ABY. DSOG is directly led by the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Commander_General|commanding general]] of the Corporation's armed forces, who also indirectly oversees the DSF.

Unlike the complex structure of the DSF, DSOG was designed to be able to go where it needed and take what forces it required to get the job done. The only unit with a permanent assignment is the [[DSOG#Kangaras_Division|Kangaras Division]] which patrols the spacelanes deeper into the worlds of the old Sith Empire. The main [[DSOG#Special_Operations_Division|Special Operations Division]], however, was created with the intention of being able to operate outside the red tape of the main Dlarit Security Force and beneath the notice of other governments.

The Corporation’s – or rather the Clan's – goal is to replace the entire DSF with unquestioningly loyal clones like the DSOG. This project is long term, however. The current rate of clone production is limited to a few thousand every year which only just covers the numbers lost in combat, so it will be some time before the Clan can ever fully replace its entire military without further cloning facilities.

== Astrography ==
During the reign of Marka Ragnos the Sepros system became home to Urias Orian and was renamed. Following Orian’s death, it was briefly used by the forces of Okemi during his failed uprising. After the collapse of the Sith Empire, Orian was all but forgotten until its recent rediscovery by Trevarus Caerick. The surrounding sector is today classified as Wild Space and has been untouched by central governments since the days of the Sith Empire and many neighboring systems remain treacherous.

The Orian system is officially registered as having recently been discovered and is listed in Galactic Alliance records as being under the Dlarit Corporation’s ownership. The system is located on the outskirts of the old Sith Empire and lies roughly halfway between Antei and the Corporate Sector. It can be reached via the Orian Pipeline that joins the nearby Hydian Way. Aside from the wildlife, the system is largely uninhabited with the exception of the recently immigrated corporate population.

The Clan lurks in the shadow of the Dlarit Corporation to limit its public exposure so much training takes place in less specialized locations to ensure Clansmen grow used to their public face as officers of the Corporation’s military arm. As with the [[starwars:Category:Sith_Lords_of_Bane%27s_Order|Sith Lords]] during the days of the [[starwars:Rule_of_Two|Rule of Two]], the Clan does not wish to be discovered until the time is right. Nevertheless, a small number of facilities are spread throughout the Orian system housing the Clan’s dedicated training academies and archives.

=== Suns: Orian Major binary ===
Orian is located within an open cluster of several thousand closely arrayed stars. The system itself is a multiple star system consisting of two binaries designated [[Orian Major]] and [[Orian Minor]], which are comprised of Orian Majors I and II, and Orian Minors I and II respectively. This means the system is in effect made up of four stars, the main center of mass being in the center of the Orian Major binary.

=== Orbit One: The Twins— Ulatyu and Nuvenpa ===

[[Ulatyu]] and [[Nuvenpa]] share a highly elliptical binary orbit with the much smaller [[Mukuru]] which orbits both as a satellite. Mukuru is often exchanged between the Twins during the period when their elliptical arc brings them nearest each other. On a stellar scale, all three planets orbit are still relatively young and Orian Major on the very edge of the inner protoplanetary disk. None are able to support life due to the intense heat and regular bombardment by the protoplanetary disk—and occasionally by Mukuru itself.

=== Orbit Two: Aeotheran ===
The official capital of the Dlarit Corporation, [[Aeotheran]] is thriving tropical rainforest and supports are diverse local ecology. The system’s history with both the Sith and [[starwars:Infinite_Empire|Infinite Empires]] has meant many foreign species have found their way to Aeotheran, though many have since evolved into local subspecies. The planet was originally home to the Ombi until Urias Orian ritually sacrificed most of them and mutated the survivors into the [[Ekind]]. Today only a small number of primitive Ekind survive but remain hidden deep in the jungles. Aside from [[Seng Karash]], a number of small mining outposts have sprung up across the planet; however, each supports no more than a few hundred temporary workers at a time, and the outposts are promptly shut down after the mines have been exhausted.

==== Seng Karash ====
The mining colony of Seng Karash is the main population center in Orian. It was constructed in lifeless Karash Crater which was formed as the consequence of Urias Orian’s ritual sacrifice of the planet’s Ombi population. The inner city districts support several hundred thousand employees but more recently prefabricated shanty towns have sprung up outside the city walls to support the Yuuzhan Vong War’s migrant refugee population. Security of the city is maintained by the work of the Dlarit Police within the city walls and the Dlarit Army keeping the local wildlife at bay outside the city.

==== Marakith Skyhook ====
Construction of Marakith was ordered by Xanos Zorrixor in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|23 ABY]] after he foresaw the coming of the Yuuzhan Vong. The project was overseen by [[Malisane de Ath]] and completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]. It was designed to serve as an orbital battle station should the system fall under attack. Bristling with firepower, Marakith is chiefly a military fortress, manned exclusively by clones from the Special Ops Division. In public it houses the offices of the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Governor|Governor]] of [[Aeotheran]] and his staff. However, its modernity masks its second role as the headquarters of the Disciples of Kressh and a number of specially adapted dark side training complexes are spread throughout the skyhook’s superstructure. However, the skyhook was launched into space by an unknown Force User, leading to increased defenses within the city itself to compensate.

===== Mobile fortress =====
Known to few but the highest echelons of the Clan, Marakith has been designed to serve as a fully mobile secondary base of operations should Orian ever fall to invasion and it is equipped with an operational [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] should, in an emergency, the Clan ever need to evacuate at short notice. There is sufficient room to support the entire Clan for an extended period of time. Though the main [[starwars:HoloNet|HoloNet]] relay is based in Kar Alabrek, Marakith incorporates its own [[starwars:Hyperwave_transceiver|hyperwave transceiver]] in addition to communication facilities to enable the Overlord and the Summits to be able to continue to coordinate the fleets in times of war.

==== Lor Zatean ====
After Seng Karash the only other permanent settlement presently on Aeotheran is [[Lor Zatean]], a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near the equator. The resort is run by the Dlarit Leisure subsidiary and provides entertainment and recreation facilities for the Corporation’s workforce. Shortly after it was opened the resort experienced a [[starwars:Leviathan_(creature)|xenomorphic outbreak]] and had to be sterilised from orbit by Marakith Skyhook, but it has since been rebuilt and is now up and running again.

=== Orbit Three: Amphor ===

[[Amphor]] is a large purple gas giant and houses the second chief mining colony: the Sky City of [[San Korinar]]. During the time of the old Sith Empire, Amphor was highly industrialised by Urias Orian. Most of the ancient facilities have long since been swallowed up by the planet’s atmosphere, but a number of derelict ruins remain in the lower atmosphere. The gas giant is orbited by over a dozen small moons on which there exist further ruins; some of these, such as [[Amphor Six|Amphor 6]], have recently been renovated by the Dlarit Corporation with modern tech to resume mining operations.

==== San Korinar, the Sky City ====
The Sky City of San Korinar was constructed a few years after the main mining colony of Seng Karash. The city only supports around a quarter of those Seng Karash can but the lower levels have recently been utilised as refugee accommodation, meaning San Korinar is actually currently overpopulated. The actual employees in the upper city commute to the moons each day to work in the mines there, as well as man the blimps that extract tibana gas from the lower atmosphere. There is a much larger division between employees and the refugees struggling in the lower levels; and since the Vong War, San Korinar has been administered by a military prefect and regularly subject to martial law.

==== ''Miner’s Brother'' ====
The ''Miner’s Brother'' was a far range mining ship that arrived in the Orian system several millennia ago on a reconnaissance trip in search of new resources. The ship was struck by an asteroid and ultimately ended up in Amphor’s orbit. Recently, the wreckage was taken over by Macron Goura and converted for use as an [[starwars:Sith_Alchemy|alchemical]] research laboratory. In addition to the hidden Sith laboratory, the ship has been used as a weapons cache—in addition to the weapons and supplies it already had on it—and it is rumored a large number of ancient droid fighters are still in cold storage deep inside. It crashed into Amphor in early 38 ABY and was destroyed.

=== Orbit Four: Sepros ===

[[Sepros]] is Aeotheran’s dark twin. It is almost directly between Orian Major and Orian Minor and draws its heat from both but this means its climate is much more unpredictable. In response the trees evolved to grow much higher into the sky, meaning much of the jungle floor is covered and in perpetual darkness and the wildlife has evolved as a result. The planet formerly served as the throne world of Urias Orian he erected a vast network of temples. Today the Dlarit Corporation officially lists the planet as uninhabited and used only for military purposes but in reality one of the ancient temples now serves as the hidden base of operations for the Clan —[[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]].

==== Temples of Orian ====
The [[Temples of Orian]] are a vast network of six structures built around a central palace. Each is dedicated to one of the [[Way of the Seven Souls|Seven Souls]] of the [[Final Way]]. They were constructed by Urias Orian but recent archaeological evidence, such as the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] located underneath the central palace, suggests he may in fact merely have been building on top of much older ruins. The new Sadow Palace was constructed around the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of the seven Temples of Orian.

===== Temple of Sorrow: Sadow Palace =====
Built upon the ruins of the [[Temple of Sorrow]], one of a network of [[Temples of Orian|seven structures]] constructed by Urias Orian, the current day Sadow Palace took the place of [[Old Sadow Palace|the original]] which was abandoned in the Exodus. Though the original ruins were largely hidden beneath the surrounding forest canopy, the modern palace has been fortified and rebuilt, today extending well into the skyline. The seat of power of the Overlord, Sadow Palace houses not just the royal quarters and throne room, but a network of modern facilities that allow the Consul and his Summits to manage not only the Clan but the Corporation and the fleet as well.

====== Simus Institute ======
The Yuuzhan Vong War proved not only that many Clansmen were ill equipped to fight the threats of the modern age but also that belief in the Overlord’s vision was waning. Based inside Sadow Palace, the Simus Institute – named in honor of Naga Sadow’s own mentor, [[starwars:Simus|Lord Simus]] – was established following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] to address these problems and is the main [[starwars:Sith_Academy|Sith Academy]] in the Orian system. It is here most instruction in the [[starwars:Sith_magic|Sith arts]] takes place, away from the prying eyes of the ordinary populace. The Institute also serves a darker purpose: as the Clan’s [[Envoy|envoys]] scour the Galaxy searching for young [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitives]] to bring back, the Institute serves to indoctrinate these fresh recruits into the beliefs of the Clan and acceptance of the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire. In time, the Overlord secretly hopes to replace the lost tribes he originally rallied under his banner with a new generation of fanatically loyal disciples who have been indoctrinated in his vision from birth.

====== Sadow Archives ======
The Sadow Archives are located deep beneath Sadow Palace in the original underground catacombs of the Temple of Sorrow. Closely guarded and divided into multiple levels, the deepest restricted to all but the highest echelons of the Clan, the Sadow Archives are almost universally renowned as one of the most extensive collections of lore and artifacts outside the [[Shadow Academy]] itself. It is not uncommon for individuals from the other Clans to journey across the Galaxy and petition to study a particular tome or [[starwars:Holocron|holocron]]. The Archives have built up over many years but initially began as the collection of [[starwars:Sith_artifact|artifacts]] the Overlord collected during his sojourn through the old Sith Empire. They house many original copies such as the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] and the [[Lightsaber Combat Guide|Holocron of Tulak Hord]], having been expanded thanks to the work of those such as [[Trevarus Caerick]], Xanos Zorrixor, [[Muz Ashen]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. For many years [[Canis Loopus|Jonuss Rai]] has served as the Keeper of the Archives.

===== Temple of Fire =====
The [[Temple of Fire]] was one of the seven Temples of Orian. In 26 ABY the Clan discovered it was constructed on top of a large baradium deposit. Due to the strain the Yuuzhan Vong War had already placed on the Dlarit Corporation’s resources, instead of constructing a new mining colony the Clan decided to take advantage of the native population. The Clan conscripted a number of local tribes to work as slaves in the new mine, ensuring a healthy profit on the black market.

===== Temple of Steel =====
Following the restructuring of parts of the Dlarit Security Force into the Dlarit Special Operations Group, the [[Temple of Steel]] was selected to serve as the site of the commissariat for the new unit. The expansion of the ruins has mostly taken place under ground to maintain as minimal profile as possible. It is from here the commanding general of the Dlarit Defense Force monitors all security assets and oversees the system’s security. The actual troops of DSOG still use [[Kar Alabrek]] as a garrison like the rest of the DDF so only a minimal guard duty is maintained at the headquarters.

===== Temple of the Void =====
The [[Temple of the Void]] is the central nexus of the Temples of Orian and served as the Sith Lord’s palace. The temple was destroyed in 16 ABY during a duel between [[Kiln Tobasa]] and Trevarus Caerick after the pair had rediscovered the system. Years later, Caerick and Darth Vexatus discovered the Star Map underneath the ruins and rebuilt the temple in 28 ABY in order to reactivate the Rakatan device and use it to learn the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]], the lost capital of the Infinite Empire. The temple remains standing but its history has made it a taboo in the eyes of the House and so it remains empty.

==== Native population ====

===== The Outcasts =====
Apart from a small [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] colony, the surviving population today consists of two groups: the Outcasts and the [[Ekind]]. The Outcasts are the Force-dead descendants of the original [[starwars:Exiles|Jedi Exiles]] who were shunned by their lords and used as slaves. Unable to operate the Sith technology left behind after Orian’s death, the Outcasts resorted to a more primitive, feudal lifestyle. One of the most savage tribes, the Ghosts, got their name from living in the perpetual night underneath the jungle canopy, their skin being bleached white.

===== The Ekind =====
The Ekind were the [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] progeny of the original Ombi inhabitants of the Sepros system; the Ekind tribes retain a degree of respect for each other due to their shared hatred of the Outcasts—and now the Corporation—who they see as invaders and blame for the genocide of their original race. More recently, all but one of the surviving Ekind tribes were sacrificed in a profane ritual performed by Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus in parallel to their original races sacrifice at the hands of Urias Orian.

===== The Wookiees =====
The origins of the small Wookiee colony are unknown. It is speculated the planet’s trees may indeed by the giant [[starwars:Wroshyr|wroshyrs]] of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] and that Urias Orian brought them. It is also possible they may have ended up on Sepros far more recently; the result of a doomed expedition ship, perhaps, which may explain why the Wookiees have chosen to all live together in one centralised colony. While others suggest the Wookiees may point to the Infinite Empire’s involvement in the system.

==== Sepros Major: Gamuslag ====

[[Gamuslag]], or [[Sepros Major]], is the largest of the moons of Sepros. It is a toxic wasteland and was used as a dumping ground for failed experiments by Urias Orian. More recently, Gamuslag has become home to the rumored [[Cenota Facility]], a penal colony operated by the Dlarit Corporation.

===== Cenota Facility =====
Though publicly above the board, the Cenota Facility is plagued by conspiracy theories—most of which are probably true. Officially the Facility is nothing more than the Corporation’s detention center and is overseen by regular men of the Dlarit Security Force. However, the Facility masks a darker purpose that is hidden from the prying eyes of the DSF in the sublevels. Since 26 ABY the Facility has played home to the House’s hidden cloning labs. After the establishment of DSOG, access to many areas was restricted to ordinary DSF personnel to mask the squalid conditions and routine torture many prisoners are subjected to.

=== Orbit Five: The Dentavii Belt ===
The outer protoplanetary disk has been a feature of Orian since the system first formed. However, until five thousand years ago the system’s youngest planet, Dentavii, orbited Orian Major on the edge of the debris disk. Then came Urias Orian. During his efforts to achieve immortality and his ritual sacrifice of the native Ombi race, his Sith sorceries took their toll on the planet Dentavii and ripped it apart. The planet shattered into thousands of molten chunks which now orbit Orian amidst the clouds of the protoplanetary disk, which became known as the [[Dentavii asteroid belt|Dentavii Belt]].

==== Dentavii Facility ====
Located on [[Dentavii Prime]], the largest of the shattered remnants of the former planet, the [[Dentavii Prime|Dentavii Facility]] is a concealed within the clouds of the protoplanetary disk making it one of the most inaccessible locations within the system. The Facility was constructed shortly after the Exodus under the watchful eye of the Disciples of Kressh before they relocated to Aeotheran in 23 ABY to oversee construction of Marakith Skyhook. The Facility serves as a hidden shipyard and when not away the Dlarit Special Operations Group stations its ships there for repair work and renovations due to its relative isolation. The Facility is almost impossible to reach without first being transmitted the most up to date approach corridor due to the constantly shifting makeup of the Dentavii Belt.

=== Orbit Six: Orian Minor binary ===
The binary system of Orian Minor I and Orian Minor II orbits the main binary system of Orian Majors I and II some distance beyond the second protoplanetary disk (or Dentavii Belt). Like the Orian Major binary, in addition to orbiting the system’s main center of mass Orian Minors I and II also orbit each other in their own binary system. It is in fact Orian Minor that holds the outer protoplanetary disk in place, and the Orian system owes much of its current constitution to the Orian Minor binary keeping the Dentavii Belt from drifting into Orian Major. The gravitational pull of Orian Minor continues to draw part of the outer protoplanetary disk toward it in a spiral, meaning over time Orian Minor may one day – in a few millions of years– grow large enough to interfere with Orian Major.

==== Tarthos ====

[[Tarthos]] is a satellite of the Orian Minor binary system—in addition to Orian Major, of course—and it experiences perhaps the most erratic weather patterns in the entire star system. The planet is also at risk of meteor storms from the nearby protoplanetary disk as the belt is drawn into the gravitational pull of Orian Minor. The native wildlife has evolved to survive in the harsh summers and arctic. Most of the animals go into hibernation during the winters, leaving the planet a rather bleak and empty environ for much of the year. Further, after Urias Orian’s death the surviving Ekind either joined the war or relocated to Sepros; the few that stayed behind eventually died out, unable to survive without the ability to utilise the Sith technology left behind. More recently, Tarthos was taken by the Disciples of Ragnos—who were reminded of their former home of [[Loki]]—who re-established their [[Ragnos Cathedral|Dark Cathedral]] in the ancient ruins of [[Alabrek Castle]]. The Dlarit Corporation has subsequently constructed the garrison town of [[Kar Alabrek]] around the Castle, which serves as home for the men and women and aliens of the Dlarit Defense Force.

===== Alabrek Castle =====
Alabrek Castle was built millennia ago during the days of Urias Orian. When the Exodus was first being planned, the advance construction teams operated out of Alabrek when clearing the forests of Aeotheran to develop Seng Karash. After the Exodus, the garrison town of Kar Alabrek sprung up around the Castle to house the Dlarit Security Force. The Disciples of Ragnos re-established their Cathedral in one of the wings of the Castle as well as the Great Sadow Library which they serve as the [[starwars:Jedi_chronicler|chroniclers]] of. As the House’s military headquarters, the Castle has had to weather several attacks. The worst assault in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|29 ABY]] saw the destruction of the [[Ragnos Cathedral]]. Instead of rebuilding the Cathedral, the [[Ragnos Memorial]] was erected in honor of the dead, and the Disciples of Ragnos moved into the remaining wings of the Castle.

====== Great Sadow Library ======
After the main Sadow Archives in Sadow Palace, the Great Sadow Library constitutes the second half of the House’s collection of Sith lore. The Great Library contains several hundred thousand books and has been stored in Alabrek Castle since before the Exodus, having been one of the first things Trevarus Caerick ordered shipped to Orian. Regarded as one of the House’s foremost treasures, it is no accident that the library is located in one of the most heavily fortified buildings in the system. The library contains copies of most of the works stored in the Shadow Academy and original copies of several other tomes. Though most holocrons are stored in the main Archives, a number of the less restricted ones are kept in the Great Library. During the Invasion of Orian of [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|27 ABY]] the Great Library was the real target of the [[True Brotherhood]], and in the Battle of Inos in 29 ABY much of the Castle owed its survival to the reinforced shielding around the wing of the building that houses the library.

===== Kar Alabrek =====
The second largest population center in the system after the main mining colony on Aeotheran, Kar Alabrek is the garrison town for the troops of the Dlarit Defense Force. It began as a pre fabricated shanty town erected in the fields surrounding Alabrek Castle, but over the years developed into a fully fledged city. Much of it was heavily damaged by the True Brotherhood in 27 ABY but the Dlarit Corporation turned this into an opportunity to redevelop the garrison into a more purpose built city. Kar Alabrek is restricted to only military personnel and their immediate families and the facilities provided are of a higher standard than the regular civilian colonies; that is to say, the city caters for all manner of vices and wants—ethnically, perhaps, it is in fact seedier. Other than the security force and special operations barracks, the city also houses numerous training facilities, the military academy, and headquarters for Dlarit Intelligence and Military Police, etc. Where Seng Karash was formerly protected by the orbital fortress Marakith Skyhook, Kar Alabrek bolsters an almost impenetrable level of ground based surface-to-space weaponry and multiple layers of reinforced shielding. Unlike the tension between the employee and refugee populations among the colonies, Kar Alabrek’s population are of one mind in their service to the Corporation, and most of the security force personnel revere their black ops brothers in DSOG, dreaming of one day joining their ranks.

=== Orbit Seven: Inos ===

[[Inos]] is the outermost planet of the system and beyond the reach of either the Orian Major or Orian Minor binaries. It is a large gas giant whose only real claim to the Orian system is that it happens to orbit the central gravity well caused by Orian Major. Other than that, Inos is little more than a freezing blizzard that has long been abandoned. Several dozen almost planet sized moons orbit it; though they too are little more than frozen rocks. [[Inos Moon 18|Inos 18]], “Snowball”, is typical of the planet’s moons and was the site of an ill judged attempt to weed out the traitors in the Clan’s midst. [[Inos Moon 42|Inos 42]], “Necropolis”, is of slightly more interest and is littered with [[Tombs of Urias Orian|ancient ruins]] that are believed to have been constructed by Urias Orian to serve as the burial grounds for thousands of his followers. There are also rumors that he may have experimented on his enemies in the underground labyrinths during his doomed pursuit of immortality. Many of the dead still lurk the halls, unable to find rest.

== Allies and Enemies ==

=== Allies ===
Though the House has few genuine alliances it still fosters warm relationships with several factions. In the long term the Overlord’s vision calls for all to become part of a renewed Sadow Empire, but for now the House entertains factions such as the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] so long as it serves its purposes. But make no mistake; the House is not against deceiving its own allies and working against them either.

==== Corporate Sector Authority ====
Though the Orian system is located a slight distance out from the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]] proper, the Dlarit Corporation still maintains a close relationship with the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector_Authority|Corporate Sector Authority]]. Many of the Corporation’s customers are among the shipyards and manufacturers located in the Corporate Sector. The Corporation has recruitment offices on [[starwars:Etti_IV|Etti IV]], the Corporate Sector’s capital; as does Kaldex Transport Inc, one of the Corporation’s other fronts.

==== Galactic Alliance ====
Twisted as it may seem, the House in fact maintains a comfortable relationship with the Galactic Alliance—as it did the New Republic before it—whom deal with the Dlarit Corporation through the senate representative it maintains on Coruscant. Though the House has no genuinely positive word to say about the GA due to their close ties with the [[starwars:New_Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], it fosters a healthy relationship to ensure the Jedi remain uninterested in dark goings on of the Orian system.

==== Miners Alliance ====
The [[starwars:Miners_Alliance|Miners Alliance]] is a galactic union of numerous space mining guilds. The Dlarit Corporation is a registered member and much of what the Orian system produces is sold to the Miners Alliance who then source buyers elsewhere in the galaxy, saving the Corporation from needing to do so itself.

==== Star Chamber ====
The House maintains a stable relationship with the [[Star Chamber]] and their [[Dark Council]]; though it is unclear where the House’s long term loyalties lie in the future. There are some who believe the Overlord intends to sell his own heritage out to rule alongside the [[Sith Lord|Lords]] of the Star Chamber; others truly believe in his vision and are confident that one day in the future the House will no longer require the Brotherhood’s help. Presumable the Star Chamber itself is unconcerned either way so long as the House continues to aid them in their own goals.

=== Neutral ===
By large the House is prefers to keep a low profile and remains indifferent to most governments and organizations. However, while the House aims to observe an honest relationship with those it considers allies, it does not object to acts of espionage or spying against those classified as neutral.

==== House Arcona ====
One time allies, relations with [[Arcona]] broke down during the outbreak of the mind altering [[Consciousness|plague]] on Antei in 21 ABY when Arcona accused the Clan of illegal espionage. Though the incident was later proved to have been faked by [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], close relations have never fully recovered. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Trevarus Caerick sought to re-establish the Tripartite Alliance between Arcona, Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]]; but negotiations collapsed when Caerick himself betrayed the Brotherhood and, after the Clan did not return for several weeks, Arcona seized control of Orian, believing Naga Sadow to have fallen. Despite the Overlord’s rage, [[Mejas Doto]] successfully negotiated a ceasefire, but relations have been tense ever since and Arcona has currently been barred from returning to the system.

==== House Plagueis ====
While the House has no direct issues with [[Plagueis]], its rivalry with the former [[Clan Exar Kun]] continues to this day. Heirs to a rival Sith Lord, the House disputes [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]]'s claim as the “true heir” to the Sith Empire, considering it an affront to the Overlord’s vision. The House does not formally see Plagueis as a whole as an enemy, but it makes no secret of its dislike for the followers of Exar Kun and—unofficially—may actively seek to undermine their efforts should they threaten belief in the Overlord’s vision of a new Sith Empire.

==== House Scholae Palatinae ====
One time allies, relations with [[Scholae Palatinae]] cooled after the alliance with Tarentum was renewed a year before the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]]. The two Houses have remained on neutral terms ever since, but no efforts have been made to re-establish formal ties.

==== House Taldryan ====
Apart from Plagueis, the two Houses are among the youngest and Taldryan and Naga Sadow have long had a strong rivalry. Unlike the Disciples of Sadow, the [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Sons of Taldryan]] follow a modern doctrine with no solid ties to the ancient Sith, making them something of an abhorrence to the Overlord and his vision of a true Sith Empire reborn. The Clan attempted to put aside its differences with Taldryan during the Yuuzhan Vong attack on Antei, but it was betrayed when Taldryan opened fire on the Dlarit fleet and since then it has marked Taldryan for death. During the liberation of Antei in 30 ABY, [[Macron|Macron Goura]] turned the tables and deliberately destroyed several Taldryan squads in revenge.

==== House Tarentum ====
One time allies and part of the former Tripartite Alliance with Arcona, relations with Tarentum broke down after the [[Sixth Great Jedi War|outbreak]] of the plague on Antei when the Clan and House found themselves on opposite sides. Relations were briefly re-established again but further broke down due to similar circumstances in the Brotherhood Civil War. Relations soured to new lows during the liberation of Antei when [[Cyrus Raze]]—under possession by [[Darth Vexatus]]—devastated a large contingent of Tarentum’s forces, causing them to accuse Naga Sadow of an act of war.

==== Imperial Remnant ====
Despite the Brotherhood having severed its relationship with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Remnant]] during the [[Exodus]] after Grand Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace [[starwars:Bastion_Accords|treaty]] with the New Republic, the Clan does not harbor any direct animosity. The Clan does not trust the Remnant, nor does it seek to restore close relations with it, but through the Dlarit Corporation it continues to deal with the main Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Braxant_Sector|Braxant Sector]]. Due to the former Galactic Empire’s fractured makeup, however, the Clan still remains on hostile terms with several surviving factions. Though today it is only a shadow of its former glory, the Clan remains enemies of the Emperor’s Hammer of the [[starwars:Minos_Cluster|Minos Cluster]]—but then, the Hammer itself also remains outside the main Imperial Remnant, and does not foster a healthy relationship with [[starwars:Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] or the [[starwars:Moff_Council|Moff Council]] either. As such, the Clan is happy to deal with the Braxant Sector, even if it keeps a distance from the forces still holding out at the Minos Cluster—though, more recently, the Clan assumes the Hammer has likely been left ruined, if not utterly destroyed, after the Vong invasion.

==== Marked of the Wanderer ====
Esoteric, enigmatic and mysterious are but three words that describe the cult dedicated to the individual known only as the [[Wanderer]]. The [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] are recognized by the tattoo of a third eye they all bear on their forehead which forms a [[starwars:Force_bond|Force bond]] between them. The cult is believed to be ancient and may possible have its roots in the original [[starwars:Krath|Krath]], but some speculate it goes back even further than the [[starwars:Great_Sith_War|Great Sith War]]. Whether the Wanderer himself was ever an individual or merely an ideal also remains unknown. The Marked was introduced to the Clan through Trevarus Caerick, whose own Master, [[Kiln Tobasa]], had been a leader of the cult. After slaying Tobasa, Caerick became the new leader—though since then Caerick himself was jointly slain by Darth Vexatus and Shan Long, resulting in an uncertainty as to who the true Master of the Marked is now. Despite the cult’s mystery, some have speculated whether Tobasa was an agent of a much larger group, and whether or not perhaps there exists a Marked homeworld somewhere—perhaps even led by supposedly immortal Wanderer himself. For now, while formerly regarded as allies, the Marked remain on largely neutral terms. It is not understood exactly how much even Shan Long is aware of the group’s full history, or whether any larger organization is hostile or not—or even if others exist.

=== Enemies ===
The Clan's location on the edge of [[starwars:Sith_Space|Sith Space]] places it in one of the most dangerous regions of the Galaxy. Despite the brave efforts of the Dlarit Security Force to patrol the local spacelanes and the Dlarit Special Operations Group to keep recognized threats at bay, Orian remains under threat from a number of aggressors—both at home and away.

==== Darth Severak ====
The former leader of the [[True Brotherhood]] and self-styled [[Sith Lord]] [[Darth]] [[Severak]] was believed stranded in hyperspace in 24 ABY. However, unknown to the Clan, he somehow managed to escape and during the Yuuzhan Vong War successfully rallied a number of Imperial forces disillusioned with [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Gilad Pellaeon’s leadership. The rogue [[starwars:Warlord|warlord]] has since forged his own empire, having claimed a number of worlds from the Yuuzhan Vong. Though he has lost interest in the Brotherhood, Severak is currently building up his forces in the hope of one day being able to challenge the Galactic Alliance itself, and so still remains a threat, albeit indirectly.

==== Darth Vexatus ====
Former Overlord and Disciple of Kressh, Xanos Zorrixor was twisted from years of prophetic nightmares of an approaching darkness. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally struck, he turned his back on the Lords of the Star Chamber and went rogue, becoming Darth Vexatus. The Sith Lord returned only to usher in what would later be remembered as the Dark Age: two years of lies and betrayal in which he manipulated the Clan to pursue Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. Finally, on Lehon, Vexatus consumed the Rakatan souls trapped in the [[Heart of the Force]], only to have his own soul ripped apart, becoming little more than [[Consciousness|a hunger]]. Today the many voices he consumed whisper to those bound to him through the Mark of the Wanderer, threatening to consume them as well.

==== Domain Amnan and Shai Remnants ====
The Clan narrowly escaped invasion by [[Domain Amnan]] when they launched a pre-emptive assault on the Domain’s [[starwars:Worldship|worldship]] which was amassing forces at [[starwars:Telos|Telos]]. With the help of the [[starwars:Shamed_One|Shamed One]] [[Eshin Shul]], the Clan was able to slay [[starwars:Supreme_Commander|Supreme Commander]] [[Drathul Amnan]] and crippled the worldship by slaying its [[starwars:Yammosk|yammosk]]. However, many of the Domain’s ships escaped to regroup with other Vong forces led [[Varesh Shai]], one of the [[starwars:Supreme_Overlord|Supreme Overlord]]’s [[starwars:Slayer|Slayers]]. Varesh’s battlegroup survived the collapse of the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong_Empire|Vong Empire]] and continues to strike from an unknown location, regularly engaging the Dlarit Security Force as they try to secure the Orian Pipeline. Unknown by Varesh, [[Niiriit Phaath]], one of his own [[starwars:Master_Shaper|Shapers]], is performing heresy with a rogue [[starwars:Intendant|Intendant]] by the name of [[Eckla Muyel]] to try and restore their race’s connection to the Force. To this end, the heretics have captured a number of ''Jeedai'' and twisted them into willing slaves and it is possible ‘Shimrra’s ''Jeedai''’ and ‘Eckla’s ''Jeedai''’ may one day find themselves on opposite sides should Varesh ever learn of Eckla and Niiriit’s experiments.

==== Ekind ====
The Ombi were the original inhabitants of the Sepros system until Urias Orian mutated them into his Sithspawn servants, after which the Ombi renamed their race ''ekind'', or ''cursed''. Several primitive Ekind tribes survived on Sepros until recently when in a dark parallel to Orian himself, Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick performed a ritual—using the scepter of Orian they recovered from [[Kangaras]]—that sacrificed the surviving Ekind to restore the [[starwars:Star_Map|Star Map]] buried under the [[Temple of the Void]]. However, unknown to any in the Clan, along with the scepter they had also brought back the spirit of [[Hafalia Seprosin Chunasca]], the Dark Lady of the Ekind who had slain Orian and joined forces with [[Okemi]] to [[Okemi Uprising|wage war]] on Marka Ragnos. Hafalia had shielded one last Ekind tribe, saving them from the ritual slaughter. Hafalia has since given the Ekind survivors a new purpose and directed several far more organised raids on the Clan's bases, helping to liberate many of the slaves forced to work in the [[starwars:Baradium|baradium]] mines underneath the [[Temple of Fire]]. Though the Clan remains oblivious to Hafalia’s existence, it is likely she plans to rally the Outcast and Wookiee tribes to her banner and then, together with the Ekind, lead an uprising to take revenge on the Sith Lords who have long occupied her world.

==== Jedi Crusaders ====
Though the followers of the [[starwars:Jedi_Lord|Jedi Lord]] and [[starwars:Jedi_General|General]] Omancor Crask were slain to the very last man during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|liberation of Antei]], due to the close proximity of Antei the Clan remains deeply aware of the possibility that some of the Jedi Crusaders may have escaped or not been present at the battle altogether. The Clan is aware of the possible threat and sees dealing with the [[Order of the Shield|existing Jedi threat]] in the Orian system as a top priority before the two groups have any opportunity to join forces. However, at this stage, this remains only speculation, and there is no proof any of Crask's Crusaders survive, but nonetheless the Clan recognizes the need to take preventative measures before the threat can materialise.

==== Killiks ====
The planet [[Kangaras]] is home to many dangers but until recently its [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] colony would never have been thought of as one of them. In fact, the Killiks have kept such a low profile in the wilds of Kangaras that despite maintaining a garrison there in [[Kangaras#Usharak_Keep|Usharak Keep]] the Clan has never encountered nor even realized the insects’ existence. During the True Brotherhood’s hunt for the scepter of Urias Orian, [[Anaxela|Anaxela Goura]] and the clone of [[Severina]] became stranded on the planet. While Severina managed to escape, Anaxela stumbled across the Killiks and ended up being absorbed by the nest, becoming a [[starwars:Joiner|Joiner]]. In exchange, the Killik nest absorbed Anaxela’s traits, becoming more secret and manipulative. Anaxela was transformed into their Witch Queen. The nest began to absorb soldiers from the Dlarit garrison stationed on the planet. When the new Joiners returned to Orian, they brought with them [[starwars:Black_membrosia|black membrosia]] which has turned many of the system’s inhabitants into dangerous addicts. In addition, they have smuggled back Killik eggs with the intent of establishing a new nest. The Clan currently remains completely oblivious to the Killiks’ existence as the Dark Nest on Kangaras expands and begins to spread its influence into Orian itself.

==== One Sith ====
Unnoticed by any in the Brotherhood, the Yuuzhan Vong War has seen the emergence of [[starwars:One_Sith|another Sith Order]] which is now taking shape in the red sands of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]]. Led by [[starwars:Darth_Krayt|Darth Krayt]], these new Sith do not follow the Brotherhood’s belief in personal exaltation and apotheosis, but instead follow the ideal that they all exist as one body and [[starwars:Rule_of_One|One Sith]]. This new group remain in hiding and the Clan presently has no knowledge even of their existence, but it is likely that the group may be behind the large number of defections of rogue Clansmen who inexplicably vanished during the war. There exists a very real threat that as these new Sith grow in number, they may one day rise to challenge the Lords of the Star Chamber and their Brotherhood—which would mean the Clan as well.

==== Order of the Shield ====
A group of Jedi were present on Telos to help evacuate the civilian population immediate prior to the Yuuzhan Vong blockade by Domain Amnan. As the worldship arrived, the Jedi were forced to take their chances on one of the refugee ships, ending up in the Orian system. Due to Orian not being a member state of the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi were unable to obtain passage off world because of the Dlarit Corporation’s wartime restrictions. Initially the Jedi attempted to use [[starwars:Mind_trick|their abilities]] to secure transport back to the front lines, but they quickly became aware of the dark shadow lurking over the system. Led by [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Jedi Master]] Sophus, they formed a group called the [[Order of the Shield]] and went undercover to investigate the dark goings on, convinced something was wrong with the local mining corporation. They obtained the proof they needed after [[Aisha Qifaxa]], one of the Order’s members, was arrested, encountering [[Macron|a Sith]] when they tried to free her. They managed to capture a rogue Force user who bore a [[Marked of the Wanderer|dark mark]] on his forehead, yet professed to be a self-styled Jedi Knight. Eventually they accepted [[Jaspen Kraitus]] was no threat and joined forces with him to get to the bottom of who these darksiders were and how they were connected to his Mark.

==== Otherspace ====
The twisted sorceries performed by Urias Orian have had dark ramifications for the Orian system ever since. The Clan first truly became aware of this when the True Brotherhood Remnant then led by Anaxela Goura infiltrated [[Seng Karash|the city]] now built on top of the Karash Crater to [[starwars:Flow-walk|flow-walk]] back in time to uncover Orian’s secret to immortality. Since then, Trevarus Caerick—and later Shan Long—have speculated that Orian’s actions may have opened cosmic rifts in spacetime itself. If this is indeed true, the Orian system may be a gateway to the pocket dimension beyond hyperspace known as [[starwars:Otherspace|Otherspace]] where the [[starwars:Charon|Charon]] lurk, a horrifying race who seek to destroy all life. The similarities between the [[starwars:Cult_of_the_Void|Cult of the Void]] and the dark prophecies of the [[Final Way]] are striking, and some have speculated whether the Charon may have been behind Xanos Zorrixor’s corruption—or even the visions that first motivated Urias Orian’s entire philosophy, which in turn later influenced Trevarus Caerick’s prophecies of the Final Way, as recorded in the [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]]. More recently, the distortion that flipped the system into a mirror universe may have something to do with the rift torn in the fabric of space between the two stars of the Orian Major binary. However, for now all speculation of a portal to another dimension existing in the system remains hearsay; furthermore, many phenomena like the mirror universe have not even consciously been recognized by the Clan, who back in the real universe have had no recollection of the strange events.

==== Silentium ====
The [[starwars:Silentium|Silentium]] remain something of an enigma throughout the Galaxy. Rarely seen, let alone directly interacted with, the Silentium are a race of droids that remain hidden somewhere in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. In fact, they originally hailed from the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong_galaxy|home galaxy]] of the Yuuzhan Vong, having been part of the [[starwars:Silentium-Abominor_War|brutal war]] that devastated their entire galaxy, and are likely the root cause of the Vong’s technophobia. Though few are even aware of the existence of the Silentium, there have been reports of sightings of unidentified spacecraft in the proximity of the Orian system. While the highest echelons of the Clan have been quick to stamp out rumors and all reports have been promptly censored, there remains the possibility a Silentium presence may be operating somewhere in the surrounding area— though, if so, it remains unclear whether this is due to the local Vong holdout or something more sinister.

==== True Brotherhood Remnants ====
The threat of the True Brotherhood first arose in 20 ABY when the self-styled Sith Lord Darth Severak attempted to form his own organization in direct opposition to the Lords of the Star Chamber. Originally founded by Severak, Severina and [[Tslotha Garnath]], the cult was decimated in 24 ABY when it tried to infiltrate Clan Naga Sadow. Later, the last surviving branch led by Anaxela Goura was completely wiped out when it once again tried to infiltrate the Orian system in search of Urias Orian’s secret of immortality. However, unknown to the Clan, Anaxela had merely been manipulated by the spirit of Severina, one of the original triumvirs, who had used the invasion to secure a new clone body. Though Severina has not attempted to restart the True Brotherhood, she remains hidden in the Orian system, continuing her search for the secret of Orian’s immortality.

== Typical Clan Actions/Reactions ==
Clan Naga Sadow is a deeply close-knit community. The Sons and Daughters of Sadow may mark out the chosen but it is a term often used to address the Clan as a whole, for they are all the Overlord's children, his followers and apprentices. This sense of family and brotherhood runs deep in the Clan and for its true members stands above all other ties. Consequential of this is that Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offence. Strongly protective of their honor and their belief in themselves as the true heirs to the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]], the Sons and Daughters of Sadow will stand firmly against any threat and stick by their beliefs. This was demonstrated in the [[Exodus]] when virtually none stayed behind with the Empire. Within themselves the Clan can be very different, forcing responsibility and accountability on its own, maintaining a strong sense of duty. It feels little remorse for those left behind, too weak to keep up, but it will stand against any challenge from an outsider.

}}'''Jonaleth Isradia''' is an Anzat [[Dark Side Adept|Dark Adept]] within the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. He is leader of the [[Isradia]] family and founder of [[Clan Exar Kun]]. A skilled Necromancer, specialising in combining medical and mystical practices, on his homeworld of Vardor, Jonaleth is the leader of the ruling body of the planet, known as the 'Iperion'. He has been a member of the Brotherhood for ten years, and is credited with helping to establish [[Clan Plagueis]] at its inception, and has served as an impassive and valued counselor to many leaders and members of the Dark Brotherhood.

== Character History ==
It was more than fifty years before the fall of the Empire when Artur and Morgan Isradia, High Baron and Baroness of Great House Isradia bore twin sons; Erickholm and Jonaleth, Erickholm the older by just minutes. The portents had been seen for their birth; The lands bloomed as they were born, the beasts became still and reverent as they gestated, and the skies had seethed above as they were conceived. Both were born Schiatzhederon, Heralds of God, and they signalled the next Age was coming to Vardor.

Within moments of their birth, the young [[Archpriest]] Paul Ranquez, cousin to the boys, blessed them and gave them their titles as Cardinals; Malachai Burgisad, Grand Duke, conferred on them the ranks of Marquis and their uncle, Artur’s brother, Marcus Isradia, spoke Etherite incantations over them. An illustrious way to be born.

They lived up to all that was expected of them. Both boys were inseparable. Piercingly intelligent, cunning and observant, they learned all they were asked and presented with. Given the finest education House Isradia could afford, and backed by the Abbey, they became perhaps the most educated men in the Iperion, and alongside their intellectual pursuits were trained by the elite mystical soldiers of House Isradia, and their Etherite uncle, in the ways of combat and strategy.

Their great Force potential, however, was not neglected. Given the benefits of an Abbey education, their abilities grew beyond the normal level for the Nobility. Their natures as Schiatzhederon, the greatest Vardorians of the last one hundred generations, provided them with power never before seen. It is in their powers that the boys diverged.

Though they were identical in appearance and in much of their personalities, events in their lives shaped their predilections for the Force. His closeness to his mother gave Erickholm skill in the healing and charms of the Red Diocese, whereas Jonaleth’s fascination with law and scholarship sprang from his cousin Paul, a Green.

=== Heir to the Throne ===
As they grew, they began to extricate themselves from each other. They remained as personally close as ever, but began to lead separate lives. Eric had chosen a life within the Red Diocese and began to focus on that, eventually being formally confirmed within the Abbey and sent off to begin his training and clerical life.

Jonaleth, not feeling any compulsion for the life of a priest, focused his efforts on the Iperion and House. His fondness for law manifested well there, as did his scholarly nature. He learned from and watched his parents, uncle, their friends and enemies closely, absorbing all he could of the Iperions ways from their successes and failures. He learned how to manipulate, soothe, enrage, threaten and support all with the smallest words and gestures, and each success added to his growing charisma. The Iperion abound with whispers and rumors of this young heir, even more so when he was made a Baron in his own right at the age of just fifteen.

Some began to [[Fear]] what this young man might do when he claimed the throne of House Isradia. With a powerful House behind him, with his religious connections and his never before seen level of power in the Force, he would be a threat to almost everyone. His charisma had already gained him allies, and his education could provide him with even more power. Already the Landsmen loved him for his compassion and caring. Fear became anger.

How could a mere boy be allowed to reach such heights? What upstart should so threaten those who had worked so hard to achieve what they had? What justice was there for him to be given so much without any visible sacrifice? And anger, as always, became hatred.

His parents were not blind to this, and nor was the Abbey. Knowing the danger he was in, the decision was made to protect him until he was ready to assume the throne for himself. He was sent away at the age of seventeen to Mount Cyney, there to continue his studies and education under the protection of the priests at the Temple-Mountain.

The young Baron spent ten years in retreat there, finishing what he had begun and refining himself to a razor edge. It was there also that he fell in love. The heiress of Great House Eresite, Illyana, was at Cyney also, being groomed and finished by the Red and Blue Diocese to take her place as Tharchion of her House. Their love was tumultuous and star-crossed. It would be forbidden for two heirs to marry or be intimate, lest their union create a House that might wipe away the delicate balance of the others. But their passions could not be halted, and for the years they spent there, their love grew and prospered while it could.

At twenty seven, exactly ten years after his arrival, word was sent to Cyney that the High Baron and High Baroness of Isradia were to step down, and Jonaleth was to come forthwith to be appointed Tharchion alongside his brother. Though it tore his heart, he acceded, and left Illyana to accept his duty.

Erickholm returned from his temple also to be crowned, but because of his priestly vocation, true leadership of House Isradia was denied to him, and was given to Jonaleth. At Urd Nathen, on the steps of the [[Imperial]] Palace, Malachai and their parents conducted the crowning of the new Tharchion as fanfares blazed and the Isradian fleet soared overhead. The flagship of Isradia, Belistener stood nearby to ferry the new Tharchions home after their coronation.

The ceremony ended, and the brothers made their way towards their waiting ship, yet as they approached, a single shot was heard. A disrupter rifle blast struck Jonaleth in his stomach, and the force of the impact sent him reeling off the gangplank and screaming in agony, into the warming engines of the ship. Before everyones eyes, the Tharchion was incinerated, and havoc broke loose.

[[File:Jonaleth-Burning.jpg|thumb|249px|left|Jonaleth burns in the ''Belistener''s fires.]]

=== The Undying Sorcerer ===
Yet, what was seen that day was not what it appeared to be, for, at the very last moment, the Rose Goddess herself set forth her power, and with a mighty spell, preserved the last of Jonaleths life and body and removed it to Mount Cyney. Deep within the bowels of the Temple-Mountain, Jonaleths broken body, near death, appeared to the waiting priests of the Red Diocese. By their healing arts, they renewed and stabilised his life, but for all their power, they could not wake him, and he remained on the brink of death. For the first time in aeons, the Goddess then manifested on Vardor and beseeched the help of the descendants of her old students in the Traditions; the Ninth Order.

Only the necromancers, with their unrivalled powers over life and death, could hope to save the boy, for, though the Reds were mighty in mystical healing, and House Sandora was wise in medicine, neither could compare the Ninth Orders knowledge of life and death over their aeons of study.

Cyrit, Lord of the Ninth Gate, heard the pleas of the Goddess and agreed to help, on the condition that he should be able to tell the boy about the Order, and Jonaleth should be allowed to join, should he so wish. Though it was abhorrent that her Schiatzhederon should forsake the Abbey in such a fashion, the Goddess agreed if only to save his life, and the Ninth Order went to work.

For nine long months they worked, and never once did Jonaleth awaken. By necromantic magic and healing, by genetic resequencing, cloning and manipulation, they worked tirelessly to restore and preserve his broken body. At the end, what arose was no longer Human, but something less, and something more, too.

Its skin was tinted blue from necrosis and chemicals. Its body was as emaciated and withered as a corpse, and its face had lost the regal beauty it had before. It was little more than shambling corpse. Much of its anatomy had been replaced by genetically engineered organs, though some had been restored and rebuilt from the original. Yet for all its costs and appearances, the operation had gifted Jonaleth with a brute strength and resilience beyond any he had possessed before.

Jonaleth was gone after that. He refused the name, saying what he was had died in the engines of the Belistener. Now, he said, he was just Isradia, the monster they had made. His need for vengeance compounded day after day as he convalesced, and his anger and hatred for what had brought this on him darkened his soul from the [[Light]] and beneficence it had once held.

For ten years, he hid at Cyney, plotting his revenge, coming to understand and discover what had happened that had led to this, and how he might regain what he had lost and bring justice to those who had wronged him. His early fondness of law twisted over time into a desire to seek to justice and recompense, and putting to good use his scholastic training and skills of diplomacy and intrigue, he sought the secrets that had doomed him to this withered, hideous body.

After a time, he came to accept his nature, in a fashion. He saw that he lived still, that the Goddess had intervened as never before to save him, and his life now would give him chance to bring justice to those who would do this to him and perhaps others; a chance for vengeance. What had started as compassion and caring was slowly warped by hatred and anger into a need to protect and preserve. A need for justice became a need for vengeance. Knowledge, law and politics became a means to an end – a way of enacting his terrible plans.

His dark spirit, thus empowered, came to be thankful towards that which had saved him. Cyrit inducted Jonaleth into the Ninth Order and took him as an [[Apprentice]]. Understanding of law and politics meshed well with the study of the line between life and death. Knowledge, and his powers with magic, were key to the Ninth Order. The knowledge of [[Necromancy]], biology and medicine he thus gained only served to increase his personal power, though in all truth Jonaleth never understood why Cyrit had helped him, despite the Necromancer’s explanation of his agreement with the Goddess.

[[File:Jonaleth-NinthOrder.jpg|thumb|300px|right|The Ninth Order attempts to save Jonaleth.]]
Finally, Isradia discovered the plot which had felled him. Fearful for his position, Grand Duke Malachai had allied with Paul Ranquez and Marcus Isradia to eliminate Jonaleth, and planted evidence making it look like an assassination attempt by aliens. The xenophobic Vardorians needed no more explanation or justification than that, being already sure of alien hostility, and after Malachai’s announcement and accusation, a few hapless outsiders had been executed.

In reality, it had been one of Marcus Isradias own soldiers, the Honor Guard of House Isradia which he captained, whom had fired the shot, and had then been murdered in turn by Marcus. With Jonaleth dead, Eric was forced to assume the Tharchionship, though Marcus came to rule in reality as Eric still focused on his religious studies. Paul, conspiring with them, ensured that the Abbey, regulators of Justice, did not investigate further after the death of the alien scapegoats, and was covertly rewarded by the Grand Duke and Marcus, who put pressure on Eric to put pressure on the Abbey as a Cardinal to appoint Paul the next Archbishop for the Green Diocese.

Seething with anger and resentment, the next blow was the one that sealed his soul to the Dark Side. It was bad enough that those whom he had trusted, those whom had been there at his birth and blessed him with their various gifts would betray him out of unfounded, unrealised fears. It was bad enough that family and friends had sought to kill him for their own personal gain, but when Isradia discovered that Illyana, his true love, his soul mate and companion in the long years of exile at Cyney, had married his traitorous uncle, there was no saving him.

Illyana had born Marcus a son and heir. In the ten years he spent convalescing, Jonaleth watched the boy warily and hatefully, seeing him as the embodiment of Illyana and Marcus’s betrayal. The Iperion had shunned Illyana. All were aware of her feelings to Jonaleth, even though their love was forbidden and impossible, and, when she married his uncle a mere month after his death, they felt she had betrayed his memory. This feeling had passed to her child, and, coupled with Marcus’s growing paranoia at the threat the boy-heir posed, he had been sent away aged five to attend the Jedi Academy.

Berserk with rage, betrayal and hurt, Jonaleth could rest no longer in his need for recompense. He had lost his love, his body, his soul, his House and his brother to them, and now they would pay. He left Cyney in a life support suit custom crafted to make his body a more natural shape, drew his hood and veil up to conceal his face, and set about on his vengeance. No more would he let others manipulate him to their own ends. Now, he would avenge himself and be a pawn in their games no longer.

Coming as a pauper to the doors of House Orellius, Jonaleth planned to make use of the knowledge of the Scribes House in his plans. A small House, but with an important role, they would provide him with the platform he needed, and their records and connections would give him the information and proof he required. Yet, the Tharchion refused to house the unkempt vagrant he saw at the door, and spoke harshly to him, denying Jonaleths offer to work for his keep.

When the disguised Isradia spoke of the wisdom of showing care towards the unknown, of how little acts could lead to greater things, Erin Orellius took offence and felt threatened. Striking Jonaleth, he drew his sword and threatened to run him through if he did not leave.

Pushed too far, Jonaleth abandoned this small part of his plan and let loose with his powers. Drawing his own sword, he bested Erin in mere moments, bloodied and beat him, and raised his sword for the death blow. He would simply take House Orellius by force and continue on his way. Yet, Erin begged for his life and weeped his sorrow at his actions. In the fallen Tharchions pleas, Isradia saw great cunning and intellect, and knowing the sudden death of a House leader might give away his plan, he spared the man.

In gratitude, Erin swore an oath to Isradia to serve and protect him, and in that he was truthful, for no Vardorian gives an oath lightly and will not break his word. Using Erin as a front, Jonaleth began to quietly insinuate himself into the Iperion once again. His old skill and cunning, honed by years of practice and study, lead him to where he needed to be. Presented as Erin’s second cousin from another continent, Jonaleth began to make waves in Vardorian society, gaining the trust and ear of many Nobles.

It took nearly two years, but eventually all was ready. Planting rumor that the Grand Dukes wife had been unfaithful, Jonaleth saw to it that evidence became known to Malachai of her infidelity. Betrayal of the House is the highest crime on Vardor, and tradition demanded that she be executed for her treason. Keeping the situation quiet from the Iperion, Malachai ordered his trusted co-conspirator Marcus to have his troops perform the killing.

As the orders were made however, Isradia moved again, acting through Erin. The Grand Dukes wife was only young, he said, and did not appreciate the depths of her sin. She was beautiful, he whispered to Marcus, a worthy woman and lover for any man to have. Why kill her? Her shame would be punishment enough on one so young, and if she were believed dead, she could live on undisturbed as concubine to Marcus, and he would have a beautiful lover to entertain him. Thus, Jonaleth sewed the first seeds of discord amongst his traitorous lover and uncle, and Marcus kept the Grand Dukes wife for himself.

When the situation had settled and been almost forgotten, Jonaleth struck again. He sent Erins younger brother to Erickholm with an anonymous note professing undying love for the Marquis. Knowing that the Red priest in Eric could not resist the temptation of love and passion, he watched as the Tharchion searched high and low for his secret admirer, and subtly steered him in the direction of Marcus’s brothel where the Grand Dukes wife was housed.

Soon, the two met, and in a stroke of luck unprecedented, fell madly in love. It was Eric’s wish to marry the exiled woman, not knowing who she was, and in panic at her being discovered and exposing both himself and Malachai, Marcus confessed to the Grand Duke about his actions, not having the authority or power to order Eric to cease relationships with the woman.

Enraged that Marcus had risked so much for the sake of his base passions alone, Malachai hired an assassin to do what Marcus had not and kill the Tharchion and his former wife. Yet, when the assassin struck, he found Jonaleth directly in his way. Isradia fought and killed the mercenary in a last act of compassion for his now estranged brother, sisappearing before he could be recognized or his actions understood, leaving behind a means of escape for them.

Together, the young lovers fled Vardor. Jonaleth, however, had filmed evidence of Malachai’s wife’s existence, and brought it before the Tharchions of the Iperion. In court, the tape was played, and Malachai was renounced as Grand Duke for his wilful disregard for the law in not executing his wife for her betrayal and attempting the assassination of a Tharchion. Marcus was also indicted for his part in the plot. Both were sentenced to death, Malachai for breaking the law, and Marcus for assisting the breakage, and for endorsing a plot to murder a member of his own House unlawfully.

At the execution, Jonaleth was allowed to be the executioner for his part in revealing their crimes. To complete his vengeance upon them, though, he revealed his identity, and put forth the evidence he had gathered of their crimes against him. Shock and horror radiated through the Iperion, and given lawful leave to kill his betrayers, Isradia cleaved off both their heads before the assembled Nobles.

=== Godslayer ===
He took up the vacant throne of Isradia, and set his sights on his last betrayer. With the Burgisad throne empty, the now Archbishop Paul made an unprecedented bid for power, never before seen in the Iperion. As Archbishop, he seized the assets of Burgisad and merged them with those of Ranquez. Acting as Tharchion of both [[Houses]], despite the law against priests ruling, he sought to merge Abbey and Iperion into a single global dictatorship under his command, and threw the might of both House’s armies against any opposition. None were strong enough to resist two Houses and the Abbey combined.

Jonaleth, however, would not be lightly denied. Setting his armies against Paul’s, he made tripartite war against his cousin. War for vengeance, war to protect what he had now regained, and war to realize his own dreams of power. This was what became known as the Ascension Wars, the bloody crusade of a vengeance driven sorcerer against a power mad priest.

Millions died in the battles of the war that lasted over a year and a half, and the land was devastated by their passing.

Illyana, heartbroken to see Jonaleth alive, and sickened by his plots against those whom had betrayed him, revealed that the son she had born was not Marcus’s, but his, hoping to quench his anger and hatred and stem the war he fought, and make him understand that she had not betrayed him as the others, but had done it only to protect their baby. He forgave her, and she married him, though horrified by his appearance and the changes that had come over him, but she never truly understood what now drove him.

Mistaking his actions as megalomania and insanity, she never saw how, at its core, all he did was to protect what he loved and get justice for himself. She never comprehended that the kind, benevolent and charismatic man she had known could return after his tasks were done, and she never realized that this was his way of ensuring none would suffer what he did, and none would ever be used as he had. Near the middle of the war, she hung herself in their rooms, leaving him to discover her rigid, cold body.

After that, there was nothing that could return him from the darkness to which he had consigned himself. In the end, Isradia’s learning and training won the war, and he held Paul at the tip of his sword, the last one to know his vengeance. It was then that for the second time in his life, the Goddess appeared to him.

She besought him to spare Paul’s life, for he had only been acting on her wishes. All he had been through was a test, she said, and now, like the Schiatzhederon before him, he had proven himself ready to accept her gift and become a God in his own right. That was why he had a twin – for they were to be the last Schiatzhederon, the greatest of them all, and only one could become a God. Only one was the right choice, and Jonaleth had proved himself worthy of that.

And then, revelation hit him. She had said Paul had been acting on her wishes. She had said that he had proven himself worthy, implying he had been tested somehow. It was she who had done this. It was she who had orchestrated all this. His knowledge of biology came to him, and the clues fell into place. The symbiosis of life on Vardor; the patterns of energy in its core and conjoined life forms; the connection the Vardorians shared with it; Her saving his life, her words, all revealed to him the truth.

From the beginning, the Goddess had sought to awaken the Dreaming God of Vardor who slept, not yet sentient. An entire planet which would awaken as a single life form that could think and feel and had all the abilities of the planet it embodied. The Vardorians were the carriers for this intelligence, and the Schiatzhederon the final lines of the biological coding. When they died, the last hundred generations of build up passed into Vardor with them, and this time, the final one would awaken the God. Even now he reached critical mass, awaiting the final sequence.

That was why she came now, at this critical moment. She could wait no longer. That was what she offered; not Godhood, but oblivion to the will of another. She had set in Malchai’s mind the fear of Jonaleth that had lead to all this. She had guided Paul’s actions. She had manipulated Jonaleth to prepare him for his true purpose; to die so that a God might be born. The crushing weight of the realisation threatened to kill him anyway.

And still, she pleaded and cajoled him to accept this mighty gift she offered, not realizing what he now understood. In the final moment, Isradia smiled as if thankful for her offer and its honor, and with slow, precise, malign hatred, cleaved Paul’s head from his shoulders in defiance of her.

The planet shook with his decision. The critical mass came, and, lacking the input of the final code, the buildup of energy exploded uncontrolled throughout the world. Each and every symbiotic planet and animal died in an instant from the overload, and Vardor was cast in ecological and meteorological chaos. The Goddess, linked to the God, exploded in a shockwave of power and energy, and the deities of Vardor perished. Isradia took the lands of Burgisad and Ranquez as payment for their crimes against him, scattered their members, and was duly appointed Grand Duke. The reign of the Broken Lord began.

[[File:Jonaleth-FrostFellWitch.jpg|thumb|300px|right|The Frostfell Witch.]]

=== Dark Adept ===
A further ten years passed. Isradia’s grip on the Iperion never faltered, and now, the [[Imperial House Isradia]] had unprecedented control over the planet, a level never seen before. Yet, though there was peace, there was no rest.

The death of the God and Goddess wrought chaos to Vardor. The Abbey fractured with no Goddess at its head, the Traditions revolted, and the Iperion was the only truly stable force with Isradia at its head. The ecological and climateological shockwaves of the death of the embodiment of a planets ecosystem were felt for years, and House Zador struggled to keep the fragile state of the world in balance. Extensive campaigns of repopulation were instituted, and the Houses drew together to stabilise their world.

Eventually, the Abbey stabilised as new leaders took control, and began preaching again, assuring all that though the Goddess was no longer truly amongst them, her teachings could live on. By the same token, the Traditions reaffirmed their goals of transcendence, and calmed.

A delicate balance was formed between the Iperion, Abbey and Traditions, and together, they succeeded in funnelling the life force of Vardor through the Great Beasts, who, being part of the planet as much as the Gods, though considerably weaker, provided enough of a fulcrum for the world to survive. The old laws of them being sacred were renewed with vigour, and each became a protected species, forbidden to be hunted or killed for any reason.

His vengeance complete and his freedom won, Jonaleth was at last at peace, a calmness which moderated the rash, unspeakable violence that had marked his past life. He continued his studies of the old magic of Vardor, and slowly he rose through the ranks of the Ninth Order. In Tol Rothan, he furthered his medical knowledge by building a state of the art laboratory and research facility for his private use.

In the dark mountains near Urd Cytax, he re-sanctified a legendary ancient necropolis called the Vaults of the Dead, laid his dead family members to rest there and began to explore the lost necromantic secrets and artefacts the place had stored since its power had become too much to handle. This energy and knowledge he tamed.

In the deepest southern polar regions, he sought out the Frostfell Witch, a powerful dark seeress and Force user; he searched the deep jungles for the secrets of the King of Nightshades, Kash’ha’rik; He communed with ancient Kraken fathers to learn their deep mental secrets; He sought out the pseudo-living remains of the fallen gods and bound them to his will, and at every point pushed the boundaries of the Iperion further out into space.

Finally, he knew that the knowledge of Vardor alone would never be enough, and flying in the face of Vardorian xenophobia, he opened a small wedge in the borders of the system and allowed visitors to the Nox system for the first time in recorded history.

Those who came were many and varied. Historians, archaeologists, sociologists, theologians, psychologists, Jedi, Force Adepts, Dark Siders, criminals, merchants, the Republic, the Remnant and everything in between from all species was eventually seen. None were permitted to stay however – visitors only for short periods before they were removed.

The influx of knowledge was what Jonaleth desired however, and slowly, he picked up the traces of what he sought. His conflicts with the Light Siders were well recorded – they all felt uncomfortable in the Dark Side taint of Vardor, and more so in the presence of the one whom embodied it, and after Isradia had killed a number who sought to ‘cleanse’ him in various manners, they were banned altogether.

Those conflicts introduced him to the Dark Brotherhood and the Emperors Hammer, who became involved in one such fight. Seeing them as kindred by their ways and beliefs, and learning of the grand, awesome history of the Brotherhood, Jonaleth accepted their invitation to study and learn from them, and leaving Erin in charge of his assets, went on to the next stage of his development.

As a Dark Brother and member of the scholarly [[Krath Order]], he excelled quickly through the ranks, beginning at the bottom despite his age and history. At first he was part of Clan Aquillas, in the House Senryaku, where his making began, and he rose to become second in command of the House. When Aquillas was destroyed by Kedeht, Jonaleth was one of the few survivors. Dubbing themselves Aquillarums in honor of their fallen home, they pledged their ties to each other and went their separate ways within the Brotherhood.

His next port of call was House [[Gladius]] in [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]]. There he forged friendships with many, in particular an aspiring master known as Rhaub D’Aghasett. The house of insanity taught him much on his journey, allowing him to probe the depths of the mortal mind and its powers and potentials, and he was sad to leave, but further learning called, and House [[Ektrosis]] of [[Taldryan]] became his new home, though now he spent more and more time back on Vardor, seeing to his imperial obligations there.

At one point, he was recalled to Vardor to deal with a rising criminal influence – the Black Sun Crime Syndicate had taken root on Vardor, and after ruthlessly hunting them down and kill them all, he spared their leader, Angelo Darklane, and banished him. Shortly thereafter however, a new challenge presented itself – [[Clan Alvaak]].

Recently reforged, Jonaleth was appointed [[Aedile]] of the Krath House Dominatus, and served long and hard to create it from the ground upwards. On one mission, he was assigned to seek and re-commission the Henegemony Armed forces of Empress Teta, and he and a few other Alvaakians ventured to the ancient world of Cinnagar. There, for the first time in years, Jonaleth came face to face with his twin again, in the company of a group of Jedi. His half sister and son were revealed to him then for what they were during the conflict, and neither side wishing to kill the other, they ceased hostilities and left, though Jonaleth swore undying hatred for the Jedi Master whom had trained his family, Tyriel Valor.

[[File:Jonaleth-Lightsaber.gif|thumb|400px|left|Jonaleth Isradia's custom lightsaber.]]

=== Heir of Kun ===
War seemed to follow Jonaleth. He had seen much wiped away by it, and Alvaak was to be no different. When the Great Split came, the Brotherhood divided from the yoke of the Emperors Hammer and Isradia followed, a pariah and traitor to the Clan of the Grand Admiral, reviled and hounded along with the few who went with him.

Adrift in space, these few were visited by the shade of Exar Kun, who appointed Isradia and Khan his Heirs, and appointed them the task of implementing his [[Final Order]], keeping his sacred ways, and founding a Clan in his name. As good as their’ word, they did as was asked, and though the final death of their Dark Master shook them, the Clan survived and thrived. Jonaleth rose through the ranks of the Clan in his turn, bringing with him a select group of apprentices and retainers whom he trained personally, and inducted as the first alien Nobles on Vardor. He used the dark knowledge imparted by Exar Kun to forge a unique lightsaber, crafter to his strengths and abilities, and began to master the old, primal technqiues of lightsaber combat.

Since stepping on to the galactic stage, Jonaleth had felt a pull from across the galaxy, a strange and unfathomable force that compelled him towards something he did not understand. As the founder of the House of Spies, Byss, the source of this compulsion was finally revealed when a strange reptile appeared before the House’s Citadel on the temperate forest world of Eden. In the company of her adopted brother, the shape-shifting lupine Mune, she had no knowledge of her people or past, but in those very moments, Jonaleth knew he had found his souls reflection.

The bond he felt was immediate and had a mystical intensity unlike even his relationship with his own brother, and though she did not realize it, at that moment [[Cipher]] felt it also. Jonaleth took the reptile on as his apprentice without hesitation, and began to tutor her in the Force and the Dark Side, even as he launched his own clandestine investigations into her nature.

Cipher and Mune were the first to join the Imperial House, alongside Jonaleths discovery of a living confluence of the Force, a Zabrak kensai (literally, “sword scholar”) whose abilities with the Dark Side were enhanced by his own rage, causing him to manifest powers far beyond the normal scope. Jonaleth knew what the implications of this might be, and thus brought Vithril into the family and his tutelage. Vithril took well to Jonaleths own studies, becoming a moderately skilled Necromancer also, and as he sunk deeper into the Dark Side and Necromancy, his features began to distort to make him more and more demonic and fearsome.

As the Imperial House began to expand for the first time in decades, Isradia’s learning finally bore fruit. After gathering countless pieces for the ritual needed to restore his broken body, and venturing to the deepest depths of the galaxy for the knowledge he desired, Jonaleth at last enacted a ritual within the Vaults of the Dead to restore himself. With Kash’ha’rik looking on, Isradia transformed himself into an Anzat vampire, in the process undoing the incredible damage that had been inflicted on him decades earlier, and becoming whole again.

Now a bloodthirsty unliving killer, Isradia reveled in his new powers and restored features. No longer able to stand the light or heat, he took recluse from these forces, and was thus spared from atrocity as the Great Plague swept through the Brotherhood, as it became enwrapped within a [[Great Jedi War]]. Receiving a distress signal from Byfrost, he found his Clan’s home world under attack by the combined forces of [[Clans]] Taldyran and Tarentum. The Dark Adept assisted as best he could until he received a summons from the [[Krath High Priestess]].

Slipping through the blockade in a purloined TIE Phantom, Isradia met with [[Alanna]] on [[Antei]] and was assigned the task of hunting down and bringing back the [[Grand Master]]. He took to his task well, though with reluctance, and returned to be hailed as a hero, earning great honor for Clan Exar Kun.

The purge of the ravaging effects of the Plague was not as thorough as he had hoped, however, and unbeknownst to all, the Clan’s [[Consul]] was not fully cured. In a moment of madness, the Consul attempted to dissolve the Clan, and war erupted on Byfrost. By the time the reunited [[Dark Council]] could act, Clan Exar Kun had been smashed from within and the survivors taken in by their allies in [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]].

After the disaster, Jonaleth resigned to his studies as the wisest and eldest Krath of Clan Exar Kun and became its Loremaster, and began service to the [[Oracle]] as a new Consul took the throne of Clan Exar Kun, only to stumble across a kindred spirit, one upstart Corellian named Braecen.

The young Krath was clearly powerful, and deeply intelligent, and Jonaleth began to take a deep and abiding interest in the young mans progress. In Braecen, Jonaleth saw much of himself, though more advanced than he had been at that age, and Braecen seemed to return this fellow feeling. Once inducted into the Imperial House, Braecen proved his abilities and aptitudes to such an extent that Jonaleth took the unheard of and shocking step of making the young man Heir Apparent to the Throne. This stunning political manoeuvre not only secured Jonaleths place – for it would mean an assassination attempt would be pointless, as House Isradia would carry on – but it would also prove a strong lure for attentions both good and bad. The other Houses now focused their malice on Braecen, as future leader, and Dane Isradia, who Jonaleth deeply wished to have by his side, was provoked to jealousy over his fathers actions… And best of all, Braecen would never truly be leader, for Jonaleth was now immortal!

=== The Wisdom of Plagueis ===
During his tenure, Jonaleth had become an authority on many things, and had scribed many famous and illustrious works. His abilities were to be taxed to their limits, however, when Clan Exar Kun merged with [[Clan Satal Keto]] after a disastrous war with the mercenary [[Crimson Tide]], and in reflection of ancient history, became Clan Plagueis. Many expected Jonaleth to be outraged at this action, and were surprised when he made not a movement, for few realized that Jonaleth had recently unearthed a document of Lord Plagueis’s wisdom, and he chose to share this with the new Clan. In thanks for his work, Jonaleth was awarded the Amethyst Kukuri.

Jonaleths relationship with Cipher had evolved over time. On a return mission to Cinnagar, beneath the great city Isradia had become possessed by the Dark Side Spirit of [[Ludo Kressh]], and using the might of the [[Dark Lord]], combined with his own, he unlocked some of the hidden potential within the now Krath Priestess, granting her the gift of wings. She in turn had bonded deeply with him, and sworn to serve and protect him for all time.

Unfettered by Dark Brotherhood concerns, the two had been traveling the galaxy searching for the answers to Ciphers past and nature, and Jonaleth looking in secret for more clues to the [[Dark Star]] Prophecy. Together, they discovered the pieces that would allow not only for Cipher to regain more of her races genetic potential, but also for the fruition of a clause of the Prophecy. On the Demon Moon of Dxun, Jonaleth enacted a great ritual that did what they intended; Cipher's genetic wings were restored to her, and in gratitude, she marked him with a tattoo of a dragon on the back of his right hand. This mark serves as a sign of her loyalty and obedience to him, and links her life to his, so should he die, Cipher would perish with him. Yet more unrest was to follow.

In a far reaching plot, a few members of Clan Plagueis sought to overthrow the Summit and replace it with those they saw fit to lead. The Dark Adept was shocked to find some of the perpetrators in his own family; Braecen had conspired with them, and even now sough to overthrow the Grand Duke on Vardor to take the position for himself, being unhappy as a mere nobleman. The traitors were immediately cast out and a bounty placed on them for their deaths.

Jonaleth continued to work quietly within the halls of Plagueis as the Clan's Loremaster; he explored the history of the Clan’s possessions, developed the new, combined powers of Exar Kun and Satal Keto, and authored the guidelines for Masters and Apprentices in the Clan. His [[Title]] was formally acknowledged when the [[Council of the Wise]] was formed, and he appointed its leader. This work earned him a [[Ruby Scepter]] from the [[Clan Summit]] and his being named as “di Plagia”, and he began to form tentative relationships with a few others outside his family; notably [[Aristan Dantes]], Salth Khan and Galaphile al’Tor.

Then, a year ago, Jonaleth simply vanished. No-one in the galaxy had any clue or thought as to where the Dark Adept had gone. He returned not long ago to reveal the truth; his continual exploration and study of melding Force and Matter – a sort of combined evolution epitomised by Cipher and others whom had volunteered for his experiments – had led him to seek out a better understanding of his own predatory nature. Traveling beyond the deepest Outer Rim, to a rogue planet lacking a sun, and so far from the rest of the galaxy the stars were not even visible, he discovered an enclave of Anzat Dark Sider’s, and learned of their ways. Combining their physical talents with the Force, he strove to achieve a perfect union of both, and further his own evolution in the process.

Why he returned has not yet been divulged, all that is known is that Jonaleth is, indeed, back.

|}[[File:Jonaleth-CollageSmall.jpg|thumb|409px|right|The three aspects of Jonaleth Isradia.]]
Jonaleth Isradia is motivated by one thing alone: To protect what is his. This is the fundamental drive of his existence, and has been since the day he fell into the fires of the Belisteners engines. Through adversary, war, learning, intrigue, subterfuge and espionage, he has eternally sought to protect his charges, and over the course of years, this desire has only grown deeper and expanded to encompass his Apprentices and the members of his family.

How he chooses to pursue this aim however, is at best malign, and at worst, unimaginably evil. With such noble aims, another man might have chosen the Light side in the pursuit of them, but Jonaleth’s ordeal has twisted his sense of justice, changing it into a drive for revenge, a balance to the cosmic scales. It was this distortion of his early beliefs by hatred and anger which were the key to his fall to the Dark Side.

Outwardly, Jonaleth comes across to others as being extremely formal, just, respectful and intelligent. He is not one to casually joke or fool around, and despises small talk as a waste of breath. In his interactions with all but his closest friends and confidants, he maintains the air of the powerful Krath sorcerer and Vardorian necromancer he is. Those he counts as friends will see a further side to him in his fiery passion and piercing wit. Jonaleth does not suffer fools or weaklings, and expects everyone in his company to behave respectfully to everyone else – those failing to do so will feel the full force of his anger as he lashes out quickly and brutally to punish them.

As a Krath, Jonaleth prizes knowledge and learning, and enjoys the company of fellow scholars. By the same token, and his upbringing in the maze-like feudal system of Vardor, he is an adept politician, mediator and spy. He is highly protective, as explained, and will go any imaginable length in order to protect those things he cares for. He often speaks cryptically, but never lies and is never duplicitous, traits which he despises from his past experiences.

Isradia does nothing to hide his violent, explosive temper or his capricious nature when it is provoked, but barring this circumstance, is usually a collected and level headed individual. When angered, he will lash out quickly and forcefully; In combat he prefers the visceral sensations of fighting hand to hand, despite his mastery of the lightsaber and staff weapons. Due to his enormous strength and resilience, he relies on the sheer power of Wampa Do, often feasting on the blood and life energy of a fallen adversary. He uses the Force to its fullest extent, being particularly fond of Force lightning, telekinetic choking and the warping of matter and energy.

It is said that there are three aspects to the Dark Adept: The monster that is his rage and hatred, the man whom is ruler of a world and a family, and the sorcerer with the dark side at his beckon call. An artist rendering of this relationship is displayed here.

== Appearance ==
<div class="center">[[File:Jonaleth-ThreeStages.jpg|thumb|540px|right|The three stages of Jonaleth Isradia.]]</div>
* Until the age of '''twenty seven''', Jonaleth looked like a normal Human male of his age. His hair was black, kept medium length and groomed, with blue eye and fine, youthful features. He dressed in clothes fitting his status on his homeworld, consisting of finely woven trousers, shirt, waistcoat and tabard, and carried a fine steel rapier as his decorative weapon. His clothing was always of deep sapphire, white, black and silver.
* From the age of '''twenty seven''' until '''fifty three''', Jonaleth possessed the form of an emaciated, withered man. His skin was tinged blue, and his limbs and body were shrunken and mishapen, in many places missing skin and revealing the bones and organs beneath. His nails turned jet black, and his hair became lank, grey and lifeless. His face was horrific, possessing almost no skin and missing much of the bone. During this period he wore voluminous black robes adorned with Krath and necromantic sigils and medalions, with a deep hood that he never lowered. He walked with the aid of a heavy steel quarterstaff, and carried either his lightsaber or a sword.
* Since transforming himself into an Anzat, his Human features have been restored to their previous appearance, and he '''currently''' wears Violator style robes with a cloak and hood. He carries with him his lightsaber (above) and a chakram, no longer needing his walking staff, which he retains for ceremonial and mystical purposes.

'''For historic information on the former [[battleteam]] ''Void Squadron'' please see [[Void_Squadron_(Battleteam)|the ''Void Squadron'' battleteam wikipedia page.]]
{{quote|No Mission Too Difficult, No Sacrifice Too Great, Duty First|Void Squadron Motto}}

''Void Squadron'' represents the finest in a tradition of ace pilots in [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. They stand as the [[Clan]]'s best Starfighter personnel – the elite of the elite. Originally a [[battleteam]], the group now stands as a collective of pilots from across the entire clan whom stand ready to defend the space supremacy of Clan Arcona and the [[Shadesworn]]. They are a Legendary Unit of the [[Dajorra Defense Force]].

==Mission==

'''Void Squadron''' can be called up at any moment for systemwide deployment in accordance with [[Arcona Starfighter Corps]] requirements. This unit, comprising of [[starwars:A/SF-01_B-wing_starfighter/Legends|B-Wing Starfighters]], [[starwars:T-65XJ_X-wing_starfighter|T-65XJ X-Wing Starfighters]], and [[Starwars:StealthX|Modified T65 XJ3 StealthX Starfighters]], operate amongst the other standard ''T-65XJ X-Wing Starfighters'' under [[Arcona]]'s command, providing unsurpassable support in even the most challenging of battles.

Among its many capabilities, Void provides offensive and defensive support, strategic attack, offensive counterair (space-to-surface), suppression of enemy air defenses, and offensive and defensive counterair (space-to-space) missions.

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

Void Squadron could trace its creation directly back to the battle against the starfighter forces of the [[Ge'tal Gaan]] in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]]. For many years, the Arconan starfighter forces had grown complacent without having faced serious opposition. With the campaigns for the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|Reclamation of Antei]], there had been little to test the [[Arcona Navy Corps|Arconan Navy]] and starfighter forces. The [[Spoils of War|Invasion of Salas V]] and [[Disorder|battles]] on [[Antei]] that followed placed a greater emphasis on ground combat at the expense of aerospace operations, further downplaying Arcona's starfighter readiness. The Dark Jedi of Arcona found it easy to eschew space combat in favor of more traditional martial roles. The desire to personally strike down an enemy with one's own hand was far more tempting than [[Starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] drills and space combat training.
[[File:WuntilaAegis.jpg|thumb|350px|right|[[Wuntila Arconae]] legendary founder of ‘'Void Squadron''.]]
During the Brotherhood's assault on New Tython, nearly every single Dark Jedi made planetfall along with elements of the [[Arcona Army Corps]]. The few that remained behind in space were stationed aboard the various capital warships of the Clan's fleet. Every starfighter unit deployed in the battle was made up of regular pilots whom lacked any sensitivity to the Force. During the planning stages of the assault, this did not seem to be an issue as the [[Odan-Urr|Jedi]] defending New Tython possessed negligible space-based defenses. This changed...

As the Arconan ships began to deploy their troops and Jedi to the planet below, space forces of the [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] Ge'tal Gaan mercenary unit exited [[starwars:hyperspace|hyperspace]] nearly on top the Brotherhood fleet. The TIE Interceptors of [[Sin Squadron]] were among the very first to fall victim to the newcomers, but they would not be the last. While the combined Brotherhood forces would eventually rout the Mandalorian mercenaries, Arcona's starfighter forces ended up taking far higher proportional losses when compared to the starfighter squadrons of the other clans and the [[Navy of the Iron Throne]].

=== Creation ===
Upon ascending to the leadership of Arcona following the war and the death of [[Zandro Savric Erinos]], newly appointed [[Consul]] [[Wuntila|Wuntila Arconae]] began to examine any shortcomings to be found in the clan's admittedly impressive performance during the battle. The loss ratios among the starfighter corps were a glaring stain on an altogether excellent campaign, and Wuntila set about correcting it. The acquisition of a full squadron of StealthX fighters gave him the tools with which to do so, and so he formed Void Squadron around them. The StealthX's requirements for Force trained pilots also enabled him to ensure that the vanguard of the Arcona Starfighter Corps would once again be Dark Jedi.

The squadron was to recruit only the best, or those that had it within them to be the best, in order to become in space what [[Soulfire Strike Team|Soulfire]] was on the ground. The training within the squadron would be second to none in the whole of the Brotherhood for the pilots assigned to it, but also for those throughout the rest of the Arcona Starfighter Corps. The clan leadership felt it was not merely enough to have one elite squadron, so they instead decreed that Void would be the exemplar for the other squadrons. In addition to their own training and operational responsibilities, Void was tasked with developing new and innovative starfighter tactics for use by all of the Clan squadrons as well as direct training with and against their fellow pilots.

=== Dark Crusade ===

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Void Squadron undertook a variety of assignments ranging from reconnaissance to air assaults and to acting as escorts for high priority vessels. At [[Krayiss II - Arcona|Krayiss II]] the Squadron engaged the One Sith's fleet during most of the conflict, their efforts allowing many Arconan troops and supplies to reach the planet intact. Although [[Taldryan]] won the rights to govern Krayiss II, Void Squadron had been instrumental for the entire [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] victory upon the planet.

[[file:voidsquadronhelps.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Void Squadron performing bombing runs upon the surface of Rhelg.]]

When the Arconan Fleet reached their next planet, Void were briefed more extensively than usual. Now not only were they fighting in orbit, but they would also take part in strategic attacks against the One Sith's key positions planetside. The Squadron were the first Arconan units to take part in the space battle above [[Rhelg - Arcona|Rhelg]], each pilot working in perfect unison with one another to eliminate wave after wave of hostile resistance without suffering a single casualty. They were also the first to streak into the planet's frozen atmosphere, their assignment now switching to bombing One Sith targets, just like they were briefed beforehand. Void were quick and ruthless in their attacks, never once losing the element of surprise upon the planet's defenders. By the time all the targets had been neutralized, Void Squadron had emerged successful in their mission once again, the efforts of the experienced pilots allowing the Arconan forces to land unhindered and begin the bloody assault on the ground.

===Fall of S.C.E.P.T.E.R===
<br/>
[[File:X-wing_Fighter.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Void Nine vaporizes a TIE-Fighter.]] Void Squadron became a cornerstone of the Clan, enshrined in Arconan lore and famous for its "''hard and fast''" operations.

In many ways, Void became a victim of it's own success; pilots left for other units, whilst others took higher responsibilities within Arcona and throughout the Brotherhoood. Soon becoming just another regular Fighter Squadron within Arcona's Starfighter Corps, Void Squadron fell from the spotlight and all but disappeared. With the fall of [[SCEPTER|S.C.E.P.T.E.R]], [[Uji|Uji Tameike]] and [[Nadrin Erinos Arconae]] felt it was time for the [[Savric Flight Academy]] to reopen its doors and consolidate the [[starwars:ace|Aces]] of Arcona.

Their first act was to examine the members of the Clan whom had already proven themselves in space combat. They would also take into consideration current and previous enrollees who had passed with flying colors. This created a short list of legendary and capable pilots to reanimate Void Squadron – not as a Battleteam, but as a legendary unit of Clan Arcona. Amongst the initial enlistments were [[Nikola Valtiere]] and Rayze Erinos Arconae. Their first action as a unit would be the successful defense of retreating forces within the [[Dajorra System]]. The squadron fought bravely and experienced losses, but they allowed ships to flee danger from the chase of Perdition forces.

This provided ‘'Void Squadron'' with a new lease of life, firmly establishing the new '''Arconan Ace Pilot Initiative''' (ACE'''''”).

==Organization==

{{quote|Invisible. Last in, first out. Raining death. Trail of destruction. Victory. Easy. Any questions?|[[Nikola Valtiere]] to his first pilot intake.}}

Void Squadron was a twelve-person starfighter squadron that, throughout its history, served House Qel-Droma, the Shadow Clan, and the Dark Jedi Brotherood. It was composed of Qel-Droma's top pilots, and later, the best pilots in the Arcona Starfighter Corps. Void Squadron is the symbol of the Shadow Clan's starfighter superiority and its most effective tool against enemy aggression; their successes gave them an almost mythical presence in battle and could sometimes prompt an enemy to surrender without any shots being fired. As long as Void Squadron endured, the citizens of the Keadean Confederacy had hope that there was someone in space protecting them. Still later, the Voids became a symbol of the bravery and fighting spirit of the Shadow Clan, and in 39 ABY, they were the most elite of all squadrons in Clan Arcona.

===Entry Requirements===

To join the elite Squadron as part of the '''''ACE''' Pilot Initiative'', an individual must possess a verifiable skill of +2 Piloting (S) for initial entry into the group. In addition, the individual must be in good standing with Clan Arcona – at the discretion of the Consul and Proconsul – and have sponsorship from a pre-existing member of the '''''ACE'' Pilot Initiative'''. If all of these requirements are met, a member can be introduced into the Program within Abyss Squadron until they complete their evaluation for Void Squadron.

To earn entrance into Void Squadron, one must ''actively'' participate in an ACE run-on (a minimum of two posts consisting of 250 words each) or increase their Piloting (S) to +3. This serves as a test of skill to prove one's mettle as an exceptional pilot. Successful completion of this contract will move a member from ''Abyss'' (training) to ''Void'' (active) status. To continue to serve in active status, members of Void Squadron must participate in a quarterly run-on focused on a mission. If one cannot participate in the run-on, they must complete an '''ACE''' fiction, with a prompt provided by the ''Void'' Leader.

==Equipment==

Not only will members be able to claim status as a member of ''Void Squadron'', they will have access to specialized equipment and starfighters. These member-only perks are designed not for advantage, but to honor the commitment and development of these members as pilots first. These should be seen as items of prestige, not power.

===StealthX Starfighters===

StealthX fighters are designed for use by Force Users of the '''''ACE''' Pilot Initiative''. These Starfighters have been given the ability of stealth, but at the expense of weaponry, shielding, and communications.

[[File:StealthX.jpg|175px|thumb|The StealthX starfighter]]

The StealthX was smaller than the XJ-series [[starwars:T-65 X-wing starfighter|X-wing]]. It featured equipment that hid the craft both visually and tactically, though the craft's position was given away if [[starwars:proton torpedo|proton torpedoes]] were used or if the [[starwars:pilot|pilot]] broadcasted over the [[starwars:comlink|comlink]]. The StealthX was used exclusively by [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]], as the restrictions on comm usage made it nearly impossible for anyone other than a Jedi to coordinate with other forces.

A modification of the already formidable [[starwars:T-65XJ3 X-wing starfighter|T-65XJ3 X-wing starfighter]], the StealthX had a star-flecked body of irregular, matte-black [[starwars:fiberplast|fiberplast]] that rendered it almost invisible against a background of [[starwars:star|star]]s. The third torpedo launcher had been replaced by a [[starwars:gravitic modulator|gravitic modulator]] designed to defeat [[starwars:mass-detector|mass-detector]]s, and its shields had been downgraded to make room for a suite of [[starwars:sensor|sensor]] negators. Even its fusial engines had been retooled to burn a special [[starwars:tibanna|tibanna]] isotope, designated [[starwars:Tibanna|TibannaX]], whose efflux turned dark a millisecond after fusion. The viewports utilized [[starwars:blast-tinting|blast-tinting]] technology.

Void Squadron usually replaces the standard proton torpedoes with custom-made [[starwars:Jedi shadow bomb|Jedi shadow bomb]]s. In addition, their StealthXs can also carry [[starwars:glop bomb|glop bomb]]s, which released a quick-hardening foam upon detonation, and two-stage armor-piercing [[starwars:bunker-buster bomb|bunker-buster bomb]]s. Advanced [[starwars:R9-series astromech droid|R9-series astromech droid]]s are assigned to assist the pilots with the special requirements of this unique craft.

===B-Wing Starfighters===

[[starwars:A/SF-01_B-wing_starfighter/Legends|B-Wing Starfighters]] serve as the [[starwars:bomber|heavy bombers]] of the '''''ACE''' Pilot Initiative''. They boast an exceptional payload of firepower relative to their size – [[starwars:R-9X_heavy_laser_cannon/Legends|R-9X heavy laser cannons]], [[starwars:SW-7a_light_ion_cannon|SW-7a light ion cannons]], [[starwars:72_twin_auto-blaster|twin auto-blasters]] and [[starwars:MG9_proton_torpedo_launcher|MG9 proton torpedo launcher]]. When missions require targeted bombing runs or the destruction of heavily defended installations – to include [[starwars:Capital_ship/Legends|capital ships]] – the B-Wings will be deployed.

===XJ X-Wing Starfighters===

[[starwars:T-65XJ_X-wing_starfighter|T-65 XJ X-wing starfighters]] are the most recognizable of the starfighters in the ACE Pilot Initiative. While not exceptional at any one trait, they prove serviceable in all mission profiles – making them the backbone of the Arcona Starfighter Corps due to their versatility, reliability, and availability. The XJ X-wing starfighters are equipped as standard with 4x [[Starwars:Laser_cannon/Legends|heavy laser cannons]], 3x [[starwars:Proton_torpedo/Legends|proton torpedo launchers]] and a ‘''Class 1''' hyperdrive rating.

===Personal Arms===

[[File:Hydra pistol.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Hydra slugthrower pistol]]
'''Void Slugthrower (''Hydra'')''' - Based off a heavily modified [[starwars:SH-9 slughthrower|SH-9 Slugthrower]], the weapon features standard rounds, but has an underslung chamber for a single special round. These can be explosive, web rounds, cryoban rounds, dummy, birdshot, incendiary, a stun round, EMP round, or a devastating .50 calibre round. The bottom chamber is muzzle-loaded, and fired by flicking a mode switch. Normally, two rounds of each type are kept in the survival kit for downed pilots. Of course, each pilot is different, carrying varying amounts of ammo in their survival kits according to preference.

===Survival kit===

Upon a crash landing, a pilot needs supplies to make it through the time they are downed. It contains the Hydra, along with spare rounds and specialised rounds for the underslung launcher. There are also ration packs, along with rope and a ground sheet for a basic shelter. A small medkit is supplied for any wounds. Equipment to start fires in any weather is provided for warmth and cooking. A signal beacon can be used to call in search parties once they have been sent.

The '''Horizons plague''' was a disease created by Lysu Thren, a [[starwars:Je'daii|Je'daii]] follower of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Bogan]]. One of the few Bogan disciples to survive the [[starwars:Force Wars|Force Wars]] on [[starwars:Tython|Tython]], Thren was sentenced to exile on the moon [[starwars:Bogan (moon)|Bogan]] to ponder the [[starwars:Light side of the Force|Ashla]]. Escaping from Tython and eventually the [[starwars:Tython system|system]], Thren eventually settled on [[starwars:Drongar|Drongar]]. There he would work to create a plague that would destroy [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force users]] completely.

The plague itself was an extremely virulent example of Bogan magics, predating even the most ancient [[Sith Alchemy]] by thousands of years. Specifically targeting wielders of the [[starwars:The Force|Force]], the plague initially greatly increased Force ability before stripping it from its victims and leaving them to die. Thren was never able to deploy his weapon against the [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]], dying before he saw the chance to use it. Throughout the millennia, it would remain unknown to the rest of the galaxy at large save for a chance encounter by explorers from the [[starwars:Sith Empire|Sith Empire]]. It would eventually be re-discovered by [[Zoraan|Archibald Zoraan]] and used by the former [[Grand Master]] against the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]].

==Characteristics==
[[File:botaplant.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Diagram of the bota plant.]]The Horizons plague was a bio-weapon created to destroy the ability to access the Force, driving its victims to insanity and murderous rampages after their connections burned out. It would eventually end in horrific death, caused by an accelerated and enhanced metabolism that was a side effect of the enhanced Force access. It was designed by taking the natural amplification effect of the [[starwars:bota|bota]] plant, native to the planet Drongar, and warping it to provide excessive amounts of access to the Force. As such, the channels to the Force were opened so wide that it burned out the ability to use the Force at all after a short time of amplified power.

The primary spread of Lysu Thren's Horizons plague was incidental contact between infected Force users. It appeared to have no effect upon or interaction with the non-connected. As such, non-Force-sensitives were not vectors for the spread of the plague, making the source a fairly traceable event in a limited community. The timeline and development of the Horizons affliction were fairly standard, with very little in the way of deviation of time frame, making the first infection a critical indicator of the contagion's source.

The first indicators of infection usually developed within a week of contact, lasting for as long as two weeks before transitioning into Stage Two. The first critical indicator, especially among those new to using the Force, was Force ability far beyond that of what is normal - the use of Force Lightning by [[Journeymen]] was one such example. Another one would be an exceptional absorption of energy, such as that being emitted by an active lightsaber, ie: placing a hand near the hilt of the blade and absorbing a significant portion of it for more than a second or two. This was a tactic that not many Dark Jedi, save ones of [[Elder]] rank, should have been capable of.

The initial symptoms of the infection were usually most noticeable in the initiate stage of training, or during training leading to the level of [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. Those were the only times in which constant, regular use of Force ability was on display to be noticed and commented on by others. As such, an infection of the [[Equite]]s and Elders would be far more likely to go unnoticed both by the infected and those around them. Furthermore, those that had passed beyond the Journeymen level had a connection to the Force that was wider than that possessed by an initiate or Journeyman.

[[File:plaguevictim.jpg|thumb|150px|left|A plague victim.]]Later, the physical manifestations of the Horizons plague became far more noticeable and very dangerous. At this time, the body's metabolism began its march toward death by boosting the physical abilities of the infected. Often it began by converting more of their physical mass into muscle and making it easier to tone that muscle while also increasing their stamina. This was most noticeable among those who were previously less capable, especially when seen during combat. The mental effect of the plague at this particular stage was a reduction in self control, making the infected quicker to anger, less capable of making cognitive decisions, and far less likely to act in a coordinated manner. Another symptom that would manifest was an increased tolerance to pain. The most important change at this stage was to a subject's Force ability. A subject at this point would lose their ability to touch the Force, but he or she would also exhibit a greatly increased resistance to the Force abilities of others. Powers that had a direct, physical manifestation were more effective than direct Force abilities, and the weaker talents of Journeymen and Equites had a far reduced impact over those of an Elder.

Even further into the infection was a further increase of the physical capability of the infected. The physical acceleration of growth and change in the body began to take a toll on the mental state of the host. The metabolic change in the body reduced the mental capacity of the brain, due to altered body chemistry. The abilities to reason and react in a coordinated fashion became severely impaired as the body produced an immense overage of hormones and other chemicals that promoted aggression and physical performance, at the expense of chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine.

The last stage of the infection would ultimately lead to death. The ability to reason and think would have entirely left the infected. They could not behave in a manner consistent with critical thinking or even the most basic levels of reasoning, leaving them easy prey to seasoned normals or Elders. The physical manifestation had nearly completely converted the body to a quivering mass of muscle and bone. With a near constant flood of adrenaline and nerve-stimulants, the infected assumed an almost twitch-like movement and reactions. Those who were more intelligent and less physically active than others at the beginning could have retained some glimmer of intelligence, but it was highly unlikely that any ability to use said intellect would remain. The near constant dump of unbalanced chemicals into the bloodstream would make coherent, rational, reasoned thought all but impossible in the quest for physical perfection.

If not cured within a week of the onset of Stage Four, the plague's drive to metabolic ruin consumed the host. The physical transition ate away at the bones, making them brittle and prone to snapping under the nervous convulsions that had stolen the last bit of coordination remaining to the infected. This complete physical collapse was irreversible when the brain finally became infected, the plague crossing the membranes and feasting upon the soft tissue itself. The nutrients in bacta only accelerated the process if the infection was not stopped in time as the disease fed upon them in addition to the host.

==History==
===Exile of Lysu Thren===
[[File:Tython Bogan Ashla.jpg|thumb|150px|Tython and the moons Bogan and Ashla.]]The roots of the Horizons plague started on Tython in [[starwars:25,783 BBY|25,783 BBY]]. The followers of the Bogan and Ashla had fought a destructive war for ten years, leaving those who followed the Ashla victorious. The Jed'aii of Tython would eventually form the [[starwars:Jedi Order|Jedi Order]], but first they had to decide what to do with their remaining foes. One of these foes was Lysu Thren, a powerful Force user with darkness in his heart. Instead of putting their captured enemies to deat,h it was decided that they would be handled as those who fell to the darkness had always been handled: They were to be exiled to the moon Bogan. On the dark moon, they would be free to meditate on the Ashla as they once again sought balance.

One of these exiles, Lysu Thren, made the decision that he would instead try to leave the Tython system as opposed to enduring what would likely be a permanent exile on Bogan. Making arrangements with a few of his remaining sympathetic allies, Thren had himself smuggled from Tython to [[starwars:Furies Gate|Furies Gate]], the outermost world in the system. The only ships leaving the Tython system at the time were [[starwars:sleeper ship|sleeper ships]] launched from [[starwars:Fury Station|Fury Station]], designed with the intention of returning to the galaxy beyond. The [[starwars:Tythan|Tythans]], however, did not possess [[starwars:hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] technology, and no word from the ships launched over the centuries had ever returned. Even when facing the possibility of never reaching any destination, Thren decided he would rather risk everything then remain in exile. He and his allies took control of one of the sleeper ships, and he launched himself into the void.

===Diseases of Drongar===
[[File:drongar.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Drongar.]]Thren's ship traveled a course from the [[starwars:Deep Core|Deep Core]] to the [[starwars:Outer Rim|Outer Rim]] for the next five thousand years at sublight speeds. Eventually, by chance it entered the [[starwars:Drongar system|Drongar system]] and the automatic systems determined that a planet within the system was habitable. The vessel awakened its sole occupant and Thren set about making planetfall. The ship, barely functional, made a rough landing on the planet and the damage it sustained left it incapable of lifting again. That suited Thren - even though he was trapped on the planet, it was an exile of his own choosing.

Drogan also provided a unique biosphere in which to work. The native spores could prove deadly, a fate that Thren avoided only with the help of the Force. The world also was home to the bota plant, which could be used as a medicine as well as possessing qualities that could enhance an individual's connection to the Force. Thren discovered this property during his second year on Drongar following an illness he treated with bota. The Force-enhancing ability of the bota plant would, over time, give Thren Force capabilities that outstripped even the most powerful Jed'aii of Tython. He immersed himself further into the Dark Side than any before the [[starwars:Dark Lord of the Sith|Dark Lords of the Sith]]. He forged a blade that rivaled the best ever crafted in years past by [[starwars:Tem Madog|Tem Madog]] in the Great Temple of the Forge, [[starwars:Vur Tepe|Vur Tepe]]. His greatest achievements, however, came in the field of what would later be known as Sith Alchemy.

The one thing that drove Thren's every action was a desire for vengeance on the Jed'aii of Tython. He sought to create something, a weapon, that would sap the Force from them and destroy their minds. He wanted to rip the destiny of the Force from them, as he saw they had ripped it from him and his comrades during the Force Wars. The bota plant was the tool he would use for his revenge.

[[File:lysuthren.jpg|thumb|150px|Lysu Thren developing his plague.]]Thren would use the Dark Side to twist the bota plant to suit his needs. His dark magics made alterations to the plant that would carry with it other, more sinister effects. The altered bota plants would open up the user to the Force, but that Force energy would come in too great an amount. The infected would see powers greatly beyond what they were capable of before, and those with less ability would seem to advance the most as their bodies were opened up to a torrent of Force energy. The abundance of the Force would, combined with the tendrils of the altered bota itself, burn the out the afflicted person's Force potential. He would call his plague "Horizon," following the thought that it was the place where even the Force would end.

He would create other abominations, the worst of which was one based on the deadly spores native to Drongar that would wipe all life from an entire biosphere in a matter of hours. However, Thren would never leave Drongar or put them to use. His dark powers were still not enough to take him from the world on which he stood and out into the stars. He would meditate for hours at a time, throwing his consciousness out into space to try to bring others he knew must have been there to him. He knew that in the five thousand years that had passed, the galaxy had developed and grown beyond individual star systems. Drongar, however, would not be discovered for millennia more. Stranded and alone with his hatred, Lysu Thren eventually died.

===Found by the Sith===
[[File:sitharrival.jpg|thumb|150px|left|The Sith scoutship arrives on Drongar.]]Drongar and the plagues of Lysu Thren would remain unknown to the rest of the Galaxy for nearly 15,000 years until they were discovered by the Sith Empire of [[starwars:Tulak Hord|Tulak Hord]]. In the two thousand years since the [[starwars:Sith (species)|Sith]] had been conquered by [[starwars:Ajunta Pall|Ajunta Pall]] and his fellow [[starwars:Exiles|Exiles]], their empire had survived through conquest and expansion. Tulak Hord took his power even further, conquering over 100 worlds for the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] during his reign. His forces even pushed out beyond the traditional confines of the Sith Empire and the [[starwars:Stygian Caldera|Stygian Caldera]] searching for new conquests. One such expedition made its way to Drongar, beckoned by the dark call of Lysu Thren that still lingered there after his death.

Twelve young Sith landed on the planet and ventured to the remains of Thren's dwelling. They felt the dark energy there, but they knew that it was very different from that they were familiar with. Not knowing what they faced, the confident Sith were exposed to the Force plague, which containment had long ago failed. Eleven of them would die horribly, the Force burned out of them and their bodies ravaged. Their leader transmitted a call for help along with all data the team had collected. Tulak Hord himself led a warship crewed with only his most trusted warriors to Drongar. There he ordered that the ship, along with any remaining survivors, be thrown into the heart of the system primary [[starwars:Drongar Prime|Drongar Prime]]. He then ordered that all references to Drongar be removed from the databanks, trusting only himself and the Dark Lords that would come after with the true secrets of Drongar. The planet was then declared off limits to any further Sith expeditions and quietly buried. It would remain that way for another five thousand years.

===Rediscovery===
[[File:dazilomswi.jpg|thumb|150px|Wreck of the ''Dazilomswi''.]]Drongar was the host to bloody battles between the [[starwars:Confederacy of Independent Systems|Confederacy of Independent Systems]] and the [[starwars:Republic|Republic]] during the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]]. By then the dark stain of Lysu Thren had receded, and neither Jedi nor Sith uncovered what evil Drongar held. The bota plants would mutate during the conflict, leaving the two combatants with little interest in the world. Both would eventually withdraw.

The Republic warship ''Dazilomswi'' was brought down during the Separatist bombardment of the planet, with few of her crew surviving. Those who remained found themselves nearly atop Lysu Thren's lair, and while they awaited rescue, they retrieved Thren's belongings and equipment and brought it on board. They themselves would eventually be killed by [[starwars:battle droid|battle droids]] loyal to the Confederacy who would leave the ship, its dead, and the evils in her hold untouched.

Archibald Zoraan, a mad former Grand Master of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, would eventually piece together the knowledge of Thren's plague from long forgotten Sith records and through divination of the Force itself. Seeing the plague as the perfect tool for his plans, Zoraan dispatched his agents to bring back what he desired. He told them that he needed Thren's sword, unwilling to let them know about the plague they would be exposed to and carry back with them. Zoraan then turned the plague loose on the Brotherhood that had betrayed him, seeking to burn the Force from them as Thren had wanted to burn the Force from Tython and the Jed'aii 20,000 years before. Introducing the plague into populations that would soon have their Force-sensitives pressed into Brotherhood service, Zoraan carefully placed his agents within the Brotherhood's ranks to ensure that the plague would infect all of his enemies.

===The Lyspair Dilemma===
[[File:SA_exterior.jpg|thumb|150px|left|The Shadow Academy, where the first infections started.]]In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]], the Dark Jedi Brotherhood was as unprepared for a biological assault as it had ever been. As it tended to happen in such situations, then, it was in that year that the Horizons plague was first detected in the halls of the organization.

The first stop for all prospective Journeymen was [[Lyspair]], the home of the [[Shadow Academy]]. Although there still remains debate as to the true origin of the infection in the Brotherhood, most sources point to the epidemic originating in the Academy. The first individual to display symptoms, a young man known as Enaias, had come to the Academy from Shera IV. Almost immediately upon arriving, he had demonstrated a connection to the Force that surpassed his peers, and he rapidly became one of the most powerful Journeymen on Lyspair.

Before long, others at the Academy began demonstrating skill beyond their experience. Within days, the precocious young men and women were shipped from the Headmaster’s halls to their new homes within the Brotherhood’s [[House]]s. Enaias, the first victim of the plague, arrived in House [[Plagueis]] to the delight of [[Quaestor]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. Within days, however, the situation soured.

Enaias, along with others in his graduating class across the Brotherhood, began experiencing more advanced symptoms of the infection. Mostly flu-like, the symptoms were not taken seriously. Other early victims were Garan and Jareese Na’Sel, Merlika, Vishaza, Cale, and M’bele Nsuso – all from the same Academy class.

House [[Scholae Palatinae]] was one of the first to detect a problem, when a Zabrak Guardian fresh from the Academy was slain by an Equite. Almost simultaneously, House [[Tarentum]] decided to detain and interrogate their recent import, growing suspicious of the Shadow Academy. Within days, most of the individuals within the Academy were infected.

===The Plague Spreads===
On [[Kapsina]], Enaias was the first to lose his connection to the Force. Weakened and humiliated, he turned on the Plagueian leaders, charging them with greed and envy. The Journeyman angrily accused his leaders of stealing the Force from him, foreshadowing the crisis that threatened to consume not just Plagueis but also the entire Brotherhood.

[[File:judecca_chaos.jpg|thumb|150px|Chaos erupts in Ohmen City.]]In Ohmen City, riots broke out. On [[Morroth]], nearly all the Plagueian Force users attempted to stifle the uproar. Journeymen lost their connections to the Force by the dozen, and even first-level Equites found themselves afflicted. None of the Houses of the Brotherhood escaped the plague, and brothers turned on brothers as they sought to explain the disappearance of the Force. [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], robbed of their powers, were massacred by armored troops sent to quell their uprisings. The Grand Master, [[Muz Ashen]], ordered the entire Shadow Academy to be locked down. Headmaster [[Ronovi Tavisaen]] directed her Praetor, [[Solus Gar]], to implement a quarantine to attempt to stem the spread of the disease.

All was for naught, as the plague swept through the Brotherhood star systems, dividing Houses between those infected and those that could still access the Force. Crazed [[Arcona|Arconan]] Journeymen even made their way to [[Judecca]] to begin a murdering spree. [[Consul]]s and Quaestors were forced to slaughter their own Force-blind initiates, and all order and hierarchy broke down.

===The Enemy Strikes===
[[File:horizon_fleet.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Enemy ships attacking Karufr.]] As the Brotherhood was swept up in civil war and sickness, the horizon betrayed them again. [[Taldryan]] was the first to detect an in-bound enemy fleet and was caught completely flat-footed. A fleet led by an [[starwars:Allegiance-class battlecruiser|Allegiance-class battlecruiser]], and flanked by a pair of [[starwars:Imperial-class Star Destroyer|Imperial Star Destroyers]], entered the [[Kr'Tal System]] and orbitally bombarded the capital of [[Karufr]].

Elsewhere, enemy fleets invaded the [[Orian System]], [[Dajorra System]], [[Cocytus System]], [[Jusadih System]], and [[Yridia System]]. Most of the Houses tried to fight despite being woefully out-gunned. Others tried to flee, desperate to escape the destruction wrought by the invading fleets. The infection was already spreading to the higher-level Equites, many of whom were the leaders of the besieged Houses. Confusion and disorder consumed the Brotherhood, as most of the House command structures broke down in the face of the biological and naval threats.

While the Equites had only just begun to feel the effects of Force disconnection, the Journeymen’s mental health had further deteriorated, though their physical power still increased. Within the Academy, it was a survival zone. The quarantine and attempt to lock down the interiors of the building had partially failed, leaving the infected to ransack the armory and prepare for battle. Ronovi Tavisaen, in attempts to fight off what some more cynical members would jokingly deem “the herd,” was beginning to come up with a strategy to end the conflict once and for all, with assistance from her Praetor and a few Dark Jedi who had not completely lost their minds.

On Kapsina, panic had spread, resulting in a complete breakdown within the Plagueian facilities. Members were sequestered in the [[Temple of Plagueis]] on Morroth, with Journeymen showing symptoms being locked away in the medical wing. Equites were separated from the lower ranks, locked in the barracks or in the temple proper, preparing for worse to come. Plagueis, out of all of the houses, would face some of the more dire consequences of the plague in the oncoming hours.

===Zoraan Returns===
[[File:Macron_Sadow_Horizons.jpg|thumb|150px|Macron Sadow fighting during the conflict.]]The [[Dark Council]] had busied itself with a search for a cure, [[Macron Goura Sadow]] being the key alchemist in their employ. A possible inoculation was being discussed, but outside [[Antei]], the situation was growing even more anarchic.

The last of the Equites had fallen prey to the virus, leaving the lower ranks to begin growing delusional or worse from the more severe advanced stages of the sickness. Within the Shadow Academy, one known Elder was still capable of wielding the Force: [[Anshar Kahn Tarentae]], former Headmaster and steward of Lyspair, who had plans that greatly differed from that of Ronovi Tavisaen’s. As the Headmaster’s staff and assistants convened within the computer core room, the power having been shut down prior to their assembly, Tavisaen announced her intent to eliminate the alleged source of infection by overloading the main generator and subsequently destroying the Academy. Of course, none, infected or no, would be left behind.

Kahn, on the other hand, wished to find the source of the infection and seek to cure it. The two Dark Jedi’s arguments crescendoed into a near physical confrontation, while others worked to reboot the entire computer system. As Tavisaen was ready to set her plan in motion, no matter whether or not Kahn objected to it, the screens suddenly lit up with the images and information of the conflicts above [[Antares]] and Antei, a link maintained through the Academy’s flagship [[VSDII Paladin|''Paladin'']] in orbit. Tavisaen and others realized that the Academy was not the true source of the infection at all, and that as such, all they could do was wait and hope not to die or succumb.

The Horizons plague, however, was not the last act of terrorism wreaked upon the Brotherhood. On Kapsina, another of Thren's bio-weapons was unleashed, swallowing the planet in decay and causing it to slowly die. [[Braecen Kaeth]] of Plagueis directed the house’s fleet through its run and gun tactics in order to preserve Plagueis's military assets in the face of the invading fleet, which continued to attack Jusadih space. The same bio-plague would also affect [[Yridia II]], leaving it decimated. The lack of coordination that resulted from so many of the House's Jedi being brought down by the plague was one of the largest contributing factors to the inadequate defense of both Kapsina and Yridia II.

With the Brotherhood reeling from the latest attacks, Zoraan at last made his appearance on the field. Taking his flagship, the ''Avenger II'', to Antei, Zoraan gathered his allies to his side and landed on the Brotherhood's throneworld. Moving through the infected members of the Brotherhood, he entered the Vault below the Dark Hall and retrieved his armor. Fully corporeal again, the insane Sith readied himself for his endgame, the plague's final blow to the Brotherhood.

=== January 2014 - [[Eighth Great Jedi War]] ===
[[File:Sarinvsvong.jpg|thumb|left|150px]]
The [[Eighth Great Jedi War]], is a conflict that occurred over six days in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|27 ABY]] between naval forces of the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] and the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. Immediately after the [[Second Darkness]] military exercise had concluded, the Yuuzhan Vong attacked a Brotherhood fleet of combined [[Clan]] warships on the edge of the astronomical object known as the [[Shroud]].

The initial assault was a crushing defeat for the Brotherhood that splintered the fleet and forced the Clans to flee into the Shroud to fend for themselves. Following the bloodiest battle in the Dark Brotherhood's history, and the subsequent internecine struggle, the [[Dark Council]] was forced to abandon the [[Antei system]] with [[Grand Master]] [[Darth]] [[Sarin]] initiating the [[Braata Option]] and signaling a full retreat.

[[Aidan Kincaid]] was a powerful [[starwars:Human|Human]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] serving under the tutelage of [[Jac Cotelin]], a former [[Grand Master]] of the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. He was difficult to read and, unlike most Dark Jedi, based his powers on cold, calculated logic rather than relying on bursts of negative emotion. He was a skilled tracker and investigator, and served as his master's operative in missions ranging across [[starwars:The galaxy|the galaxy]].

In truth, "[[Aidan Kincaid]]" was an artificial persona created by Cotelin to replace the ravaged mind of [[Shadow Taldrya]], who had succumbed to torture by the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] and turned against the Brotherhood. Using powerful [[starwars:Mask (Sith alchemy)|Sith magics,]] Cotelin restructured both mind and body to create a new identity for the fallen Shadow known as [[Aidan Kincaid]]. To keep a close watch on Kincaid, Cotelin introduced him to the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] as a secret apprentice to explain his power and skills. The memories of Kincaid's past life were utterly destroyed in the process, and all but a handful of people believed that Shadow Taldrya was killed in action on [[Rhelg]] at the hands of a [[Sith Lord]] known as [[Darth Silas]]. Out of fear of Kincaid walking the same path as his former self, Cotelin instilled in him a powerful hatred towards the One Sith.

Due to Kincaid's inherited combat prowess and strength in the Force, which wrought havoc in the [[Shadow Academy]], Cotelin was forced to pull some strings with the [[Dark Council]] to elevate Kincaid to the rank of [[Dark Jedi Master]]. This strange elevation, coupled with his identity as a "secret apprentice" earned Kincaid no small amount of grief and suspicion amongst his peers. Despite the issues between himself and others, Kincaid currently serves as a member of [[Taldryan]] at his master's command, where he remains an outsider due to his antisocial personality and the unusual situation surrounding his transfer.

The '''''Khyron''-class Star Destroyer''' was one of the five classes of warships gained by the [[Dark Brotherhood]] through [[Tempest Bravo|Operation Tempest Bravo]] in 27 ABY. The newest and most technologically advanced design used by the Brotherhood, the ''Khyron''-class is based on a heavily modified version of the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]] [[starwars:Rejuvenator-class Star Destroyer|''Rejuvenator''-class Star Destroyer]] design.

==Characteristics==
===Dimensions===
[[file:destroyer_bridge.jpg|thumb|175px|left|The bridge of a ''Khyron''-class destroyer.]]The ''Khryon''-class measures 1,600 meters stem to stern, putting it in the same size class as the [[starwars:Imperial-class Star Destroyer|''Imperial''-class Star Destroyer]]. It lacks the prominent dorsal command tower unlike the older [[starwars:Imperial|Imperial]] design, instead sharing design features with the smaller [[starwars:Nebula-class|Nebula-class]] design. Like other [[starwars:Kuat Drive Yards|Kuat Drive Yards]] designs, the ''Khyron'' incorporates a large ventral hangar deck to support auxiliary craft operations.

===Crew Requirements===
KDY was able to cut the required crew for the Khyron in half when compared to an Imperial-class destroyer. Much of this comes from higher levels of automation and computer control, but it is also a result of simpler subsystem design. The bulky and complex [[starwars:I-a2b solar ionization reactor|I-a2b solar ionization reactor]] around which the Imperial-class was designed was replaced with four smaller units designed in house at KDY. This allowed for the engineering crew requirements to be massively reduced, accounting for nearly half of the crew savings.

===Offensive and Defensive Systems===
Like the ''Rejuvenator'' upon which it is based, the ''Khyron''-class sports a heavy complement of weapon systems. Designed to be able to engage enemy [[starwars:capital starship|capital starships]] at close range for extended periods, the main armament of the vessel is concentrated along the port and starboard flanks. The most significant departure of armament the ''Khyron'' makes from the ''Rejuvenator'' is her [[starwars:Proton torpedo|proton torpedo]] turrets. The Brotherhood designers that adapted the ''Rejuvenator'' design substituted the larger torpedo systems for the 12 [[starwars:assault concussion missile|assault concussion missile]] turrets that were standard. This decision was made late in the construction phase of the first ''Khyron''-class vessel, the [[KSD Arcanum|''Arcanum'']], and was in response to the use of [[starwars:shadow bomb|shadow bomb]]s by the [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] against the [[starwars:Yuzzhan Vong|Yuzzhan Vong]]. The Brotherhood chose to adapt these weapons for use by their [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] forces as well, and thought that their capital starship classes could benefit from this innovation. As the Brotherhood, like the Jedi, would be converting standard proton torpedoes for this purpose, the modification of the ''Khyron''-class design was made.

The ''Khyron''-class was built to thrive in the face of short range, long duration engagements and as such has defensive systems that are second to none. Her [[starwars:shield|shields]] are rated at a 30% greater power output then those of the latest production [[starwars:Imperial II-class Star Destroyer|Imperial-IIs]], and additionally incorporate multiple redundant backup systems much as [[starwars:Mon Calamari Shipyards|Mon Calamari]] designs do. The armor plating was also rated better then other capital vessels, with the plates themselves being fabricated as larger, single pieces to reduce the number of possible failure points where two plates were joined together.

===Complement===
The ''Khryon''-class carries a standard complement of 72 starfighters, a full Imperial [[starwars:starfighter wing|wing]]. Like many late model Star Destroyer designs, the ''Khyron'' is equally suited to operate [[starwars:TIE series|TIE]] style or New Republic style fighters. The ''Khyron'' is also capable of operating a large group of [[starwars:shuttle|shuttle]] and [[starwars:transport|transport]] craft to support her embarked troop complement.

Able to field a respectable ground force of 5,000 men, the ''Khyron'' is well suited to support ground campaigns. Unlike the Brotherhood’s [[Cotelin-class Star Destroyer|''Cotelin''-class Star Destroyer]], the ''Khyron'' is also capable of transporting full sized armor and equipment along with the infantry units without any sacrifice of starfighter capacity.

==History==
===Origin===
[[file:arcanum_construction.jpg|thumb|175px|left|The ''Arcanum'' mid-way through construction.]]Kuat Drive Yards had been producing upgraded versions of their venerable Imperial II-class Star Destroyer for many years, culminating in the [[starwars:Rejuvenator|''Rejuvenator'']]. The shipbuilder had not, however, secured a design contract for a new heavy New Republic capital starship in some time. With firms like [[starwars:Rendili StarDrive|Rendili StarDrive]] and [[starwars:Republic Engineering Corporation|Republic Engineering Corporation]] being awarded what designs were not being given to the [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], KDY felt that they needed to procure a new contract in order to remain competitive in the market.

Given their large construction capacity, KDY had been producing ''Nebula''-class Star Destroyers under license for Republic Engineering Corporation. Using what they had learned from their experience with the Nebula program, coupled with their design enhancements made to the ''Rejuvenator'', KDY began work on a new Star Destroyer design. Work accelerated in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|25 ABY]] following the [[starwars:Second Battle of Helska|Second Battle of Helska]] and the destruction of the ''Rejuvenator'' and her task force. With much of the design work already completed, the newly christened ''Rejuvenator''-class made swift progress from design to prototype.

It was at this time that the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] of the Brotherhood, already working with KDY as part of Operation Tempest Bravo, discovered the Rejuvenator project. Seeing the new ship class as the perfect complement to the already building [[Brotherhood-class Star Battlecruiser|''Brotherhood''-class]] [[B/SBC Nightfall|''Nightfall'']], they secured a contract from KDY to construct a modified version of the ''Rejuvenator''-class to be known as the ''Khyron''-class in honor of the [[Justinian Khyron|former]] [[Grand Master]].

===Service===
The initially ordered ship, herself christened the ''Arcanum'', would be the only vessel of the type constructed as part of the expansion program. Given the late start of construction, the ''Arcanum'' was the last vessel delivered from the [[starwars:Xa Fel|Xa Fel]] yards where the Brotherhood ships were being constructed. As a result, she transferred to [[starwars:Roche|Roche]] for final fitting out by the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] after the other vessels of the fleet had already been completed.

Once the Brotherhood took final delivery of the vessel, she was assigned to the [[Headmaster]] to serve as a mobile [[Shadow Academy]] since the former academy had been abandoned during the [[Evacuation of Lyspair]]. Many at the time questioned the assignment of the second most powerful warship in the Brotherhood to the Headmaster and the instructors of the Shadow Academy, feeling it was a waste of resources. [[Sarin]], the Grand Master at the time, countered the arguments saying that the combined knowledge of the Brotherhood and the arcane artifacts under the Headmaster’s care constituted the most important resource the Brotherhood possessed and should be protected as such.

The vessel would serve the Shadow Academy until the Brotherhood returned to [[Antei]] in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|30 ABY]]. In battle with the space forces loyal to the Jedi [[Omancor Crask]], the ''Arcanum'' was destroyed when, after taking heavy damage, she executed a [[starwars:hyperspace|hyperspace]] jump directly into Crask’s flagship. Following the destruction of the ''Arcanum'', no vessels of the class would be built for nearly another decade. Following the [[Horizons|Horizons conflict]] and opening battles of the [[Dark Crusade]], both [[Plagueis]] and [[Taldryan]] were awarded one of two ''Khyron''-class destroyers in 37 ABY. Commissioned by the Grand Master, the vessels were given to the two units along with their return to the status of Clan. Additionally, Clan [[Naga Sadow]] commissioned a Khyron destroyer into their fleet the following year in 38 ABY.

'''Zandro Savric Erinos Arconae''' was a [[Warlord]] in [[Clan Arcona]], serving in many positions including [[Consul]]. Zandro was generally found as easy-going by his peers but could be quick to anger if provoked, and it was said that his prowess in battle had brought even his half-brother [[Sashar Arconae]] to a standstill. He was regarded as one of the best pilots in the Clan and as such had a pilot training academy named after him, as well as also being one of the founding members of the [[Erinos]] family. In addition to this, he held the titles of Ace, Deputy Combat Master, and Champion of Eclipse, and he was the Sergeant of the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] three times. Zandro sacrificed his life to the Brotherhood cause on [[New Tython]] in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]], alongside Sashar, and became a martyr of Arcona.

== Character History ==

=== Early life ===

[[image:250px-Planet04-SWR.png|frame|left|Zandro's homeworld Yaga Minor]]
Born on [[starwars:Yaga Minor|Yaga Minor]] as the younger brother of [[Xayun Erinos]], Zandro was similar to his brother in many respects. As they grew up they were close, both staunchly opposed to the [[starwars:Rebel Alliance|Rebel Alliance]] and [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]], both wishing to someday become fighter pilots who could go to the front lines and take the fight to the people they believed were trying to ruin them and all they believed in. When his brother left, he began to grow closer to his two sisters, but was worried by their decidedly un-Imperial views and there were regular arguments between Zandro and his sisters over who was doing the right thing for the Galaxy in the ongoing conflict. Their differences in views didn’t keep the siblings from being close, but did worry Zandro that he may have relatives who would end up on the wrong side of the war. However, as he came of age, he forgot this, bid farewell to his family and followed his brother into the Navy, although the one he joined was slightly different than that of Xayun; The Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet was Zandro’s destination.
[[image:zandrouniform.jpg|frame|left|Zandro's old Tie Corps uniform from just before his defection]]
Using an assumed name in a bid to try and gain a reputation for himself instead of living with his fathers reputation as a pilot, Zandro, now known as Chris Cox to those in the EH, sped through training in relatively quick time before being placed in Viper Squadron aboard the ISD Intrepid. As time went on, his superiors decided to allow the young man to command his own squadron and he was transferred to Asp squadron on the Intrepid and promoted to the rank of Commander. He quickly secured a promotion to the rank of Captain and was beginning to make a name for himself before he had a disagreement with his superiors and was removed from command. Feeling unjustly treated for the first but not the last time, he transferred to Rage squadron on the SSD Avenger, which is where he first heard of the Brotherhood. He was soon given command of the squadron and worked his way up to the rank of Major and the long-standing nickname of ‘Major Cox’, one that has stuck with him to this day. His final act as a member of the Emperor’s Hammer was to join the ‘elite’ Praetorian squadron. It was here that he was raised up to Lieutenant Colonel, but he was subjected to the seedier aspects of EH politics. In the 9 months he spent in the squadron, he realized that the politics behind the EH were just as corrupt and damaging to the Imperial cause as those of the New Republic. On one mission where he had to apprehend a ‘fugitive’, he realized that he was in the wrong organization. Taking his ship and fleeing, Zandro sold the ship as soon as he made planet fall and made his way back to Yaga Minor. One chapter of his life closed, just as another opened, and he learned of his force potential.

=== The Fall ===

On his shuttle ride back to Yaga Minor he was sat next to a woman who he began to talk to on the trip, and discovered that they were very similar in both temperament and personality. They agreed to meet up once they had arrived on Yaga Minor and settled in, and she revealed that she could sense something within him that she would explain at their next meeting. After meeting up with his family and getting settled in, he headed out and met up with the woman from the shuttle once more. She introduced herself as Breshnaa and told him that she was an envoy from the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] he had encountered while in the Emperor’s Hammer and that she had been sent to find Zandro himself to offer him a place in the Brotherhood. Perplexed but very tempted by the offer, Zandro asked her to stay with him on Yaga Minor for a while to explain the situation and what the Brotherhood was about. She agreed and moved in with him and as time went on, they began to develop a special bond that they realized was nothing to do with the Force; they were in love. This was the final thing that persuaded the man to join the Brotherhood and he booked a passage to the Brotherhood HQ before confronting his family and informing them of his decision. When he told them of his decision, his parents supported him fully, but his sisters weren’t too pleased to say the least. His last message from his parents before leaving was to find out what had happened to Xayun, as they hadn’t heard from him in several months and were curious. He said that he would and then made his way to the shuttle bay where he would meet up with Breshnaa and then head off to the liner that would take them to their destination. At the shuttle bay he was confronted by his sisters, who pleaded with him not to give into the dark, and were even angrier when they realized that he was being lead there by Breshnaa and his feelings for her. They warned him that once down his chosen path, he could never return, but he told them that the choice was his own, and that his choice was correct. With that they left and Zandro boarded the liner and began his journey to his new home. The journey wasn’t as quiet as he’d hoped however, and things soon turned upside down for the Dark Jedi-to-be.
[[image:shuttleZZ.jpg|thumb|right|Zandro heading to Antei by shuttle]]
Two days into the journey, Zandro was asleep when a blaring alarm jolted him into consciousness. He grabbed a blaster and headed to the main foyer to see what the problem was, and as he emerged into the large atrium he saw something which caused his blood to run ice cold in his veins before boiling up with fury.

He saw Breshnaa lying on the floor with a hole in her chest where she had evidently been struck by a blaster bolt. The people who had done the murder were heading over to her corpse to retrieve it, and Zandro knew what he had to do. He raised the blaster he had taken from his room and used it to kill the two men before retrieving his lover’s body and heading towards the hangar bays, letting the force lead him. He entered the hangar and killed the two people who were protecting the shuttle that the apparent pirates had arrived on before stealing the shuttle and launching from the bay. He entered the co-ordinates that Breshnaa had previously given him in case of an emergency, and sent the shuttle hurtling into hyperspace, its destination was [[Antei]].

=== The Brotherhood ===

Zandro's journey to [[Antei]] went without a hitch from that point onwards, but he knew that he had changed in the short space of time that had elapsed. Upon arrival in the system, he was hailed by the Citadel and asked what his business was, to which he asked to join the Brotherhood. He was brought down to surface and tested to see whether he was worthy, a test which he easily passed, impressing the teachers who watched him with his determination and skill. When finally given the choice of which [[Clan]] to join, the man chose to sign up with [[Clan Arcona]].
[[Image:Carc-logo.jpg‎|thumb|Clan Arcona logo]]
With that, he was given his new robes, assigned a shuttle (which they had decided would be his old one he had brought to the Brotherhood with him) and given the co-ordinates to his new home. His trip was short and he was glad when he finally arrived and was greeted by the Clan envoy and shown around his new home. He got settled and began his training, which progressed quickly thanks to his determination and natural knack for controlling [[starwars:The Force|the Force]], as well as the tutorship of his Master, [[Sashar]]. He was invited into the Soulfire Battleteam and there he began training with laser weapons as well as his practice lightsaber while also being moved along in his training by Sashar. Before he had even reached the rank of [[Guardian]] he was appointed as the new [[Sergeant]] of Soulfire after the resignation of the previous Sergeant. He jumped into the roll with his usual enthusiasm, and on his first mission leading the squad, he managed to successfully destroy the [[Taldryan]] flagship during the Clan Feud between Taldryan and Arcona, achieving his Knighthood in the process. Although Arcona came off worse in the Feud, Zandro managed to make something of a name for himself and finally emerged from the shadows in Arcona to try and prove that he was worthy of fighting for his Clan on the front lines. However, he never would have expected the next twist in the tale which came shortly after what he believed to be a relatively successful first campaign...

=== Vengeance ===

After the conclusion of the Feud and with his elevation to [[Dark Jedi Knight]], Zandro decided to look for his brother like his parents had asked of him. He took a small LoA and traveled to Antei to search the official records, and soon found a match. His brother, so he found out, was in fact stationed in the Brotherhood as well, however Xayun was serving in [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Sending him a quick message, he took his shuttle and headed to a neutral station in orbit around Antei and waited for his brother. He didn't have to wait for long, and was filled with happiness to see his brother well after all the time they had spent apart. They spent a while catching up and explaining their situations, and agreed to keep in touch just in case they needed each other's help. Upon arrival back at Arcona HQ however, Zandro's world was left in turmoil after what he felt was a betrayal of great magnitude. His [[Quaestor]], Quejo Bandon, had fired both Zandro and Sashar for what he termed as 'dereliction of duty' and stripped them of their positions. Zandro felt hurt and knew that his loyalty had been shaken to its very foundations. Knowing that for the moment he could not support a Clan where Quejo still held sway, he decided that he needed to get away and finally solve some unfinished business. The first thing Zandro did was to find the co-ordinates of the pirate base for the group who had killed Breshnaa which were in the Arcona computers due to the fact that they had sent an emissary to warn the pirates against any more strikes. Then, leaving his home behind, the Knight traveled out to find an old friend from his EH days, Chris Cox. The man had recently become a [[starwars:Bounty hunter|Bounty Hunter]] after also resigning from the TIE Corps and Zandro infiltrated the organization in order to get a message to the man. Outlining his plan, he requested his friends help and was assured that he would get it. They both agree to assemble 3 more men each before meeting up and making final plans for Zandro's vengeance. Zandro appealed to his former master Sashar, his brother Xayun and a new friend from the Brotherhood by the name of Nadrin Jubolt. They met up with Chris who had assembled three more Bounty Hunter's to create the rest of the team. At the final briefing, Chris gave Zandro the [[Unforgotten legacy]] to use in the mission ahead, telling him that he would have to fly initial cover for the rest of the team who would be in Chris' personal ship, the Maverick.
[[image:unforgotten.jpg|thumb|left|Unforgotten Legacy]]
The plan was for the group to split into 2 teams when they had landed on the Pirate's asteroid base and with one group heading for the computer complex and the other for the main command center. When they had both reached their assigned objectives, the group at the computer complex would download all available data from the banks before setting their charges, with the other group storming the command center with the aim of both killing the Pirate chief and setting the self-destruct for the facility. They would then rendezvous at the hangar and escape, hopefully all alive and intact with the added benefit of a plethora of data which would hopefully lead to the real figures behind the death of Zandro's dead lover. Zandro would lead the Command center attack team with Chris, Nadrin and one of the other bounty hunter's supporting him, leaving Sashar to lead the computer complex team with Xayun and the two remaining bounty hunter's as his squad. Each member collected their equipment and as the teams assembled, the mission began.

The initial phase of the mission went without a hitch and they arrived at the co-ordinates they had stolen to find the pirate base, although the pirates seemed to have been alerted to their presence somehow. They fought their way aboard the base by forcing entrance via one of the abandoned hangars at the base of the asteroid that housed the base. Splitting into the two teams, they slowly made their way through the base towards their objectives, their progress slowed by the pirates who fought for their very survival and as such were going to any lengths to stop the advance of the groups. The first person to fall was the extra bounty hunter in Zandro's group who was felled by one of the many traps that lay in wait for the two groups. Moving on, the weakened group was the first to reach the command center and a massive fire fight erupted, ending with Zandro and his allies victorious, but Nadrin was mortally wounded during the fight. While Chris set about finishing their part of the mission, Zandro joined his friend and attempted to aid his healing attempts, but Nadrin knew he was to die and so asked Zandro to forgive him for not being more use. He gave the Dark Jedi his lightsaber and told him to use it well before he finally slipped into death. Chris finished his task and set the self-destruct for the station before taking Zandro back to the hangar to meet the other group who, by then, had also arrived at their destination. However, they were having a harder time than the command center team and were down to only Sashar and Xayun with the two bounty hunters dead. They began to download the data as they held off the pirates’ attacks which were slowly wearing down the resistance of the two men. They commed for support and were soon joined by Zandro and Chris, although both Xayun and Sashar could see a change within Zandro. As the data slowly downloaded, a pair of familiar presences suddenly became known to both Zandro and Xayun as their sisters entered the room with the Pirate Chief. Suddenly, everything fell into place for the young Dark Jedi and the identity of the true people behind his dead lover's death were finally revealed as none other than his own sisters. With a howl of rage he leapt at the new trio and attacked them, his black rage fuelling his muscles and giving him the strength and skill to strike down the Pirate Chief and cause his sisters to flee lest they be killed in his murderous rage. Zandro and Xayun finished off the rest of the pirates who had stayed to try and defeat the group as Sashar and Chris finished retrieving the data which was now of little use to the group; they knew who the killers really were and they knew what they had to do. Hurrying back to the hangar, the brothers knew that their sisters would head home in hopes of stopping Zandro seeking revenge, but little did they know how their little brother truly felt. The four remaining members of the group took the Maverick and the Legacy and headed towards Yaga Minor for the final showdown between the brothers and sisters of the Erinos family.
[[Image:Xayun2.jpg|thumb|left|Zandro's brother Xayun]]
As they made planet fall, the group headed towards the Erinos house in hopes of finding their enemies there, but their hopes came to no avail and they merely found Zandro and Xayun's parents. On seeing Sashar however, their mother seemed to change and her shock was evident to them all, especially the three Force sensitive members of the Brotherhood. On asking her what was wrong she was extremely evasive and would tell them all soon and also told them where their sisters had headed to after they quizzed her about that as well. Heading off towards the main spaceport where both their own ships and their sisters ship had been berthed, the two brothers tried to push thoughts of what their mother had been hiding from their mind. Upon arrival at the spaceport, Zandro stretched out to try and find his female siblings and felt their presence somewhere nearby, evidently trying to hide from him for fear of the wrath that they had brought upon themselves with the murder of Breshnaa. Zandro told Sashar and Chris to stay back and let him and Xayun handle the situation.

{{Quote|Xayun, this is the first and last time that me and you keep it within the family. Let's do this.|Zandro Savric Erinos}}

The two brothers headed into the Docking bay where they could feel their sisters' presence and found them at last, ready and waiting for their brothers and fully aware that one of the two groups would not be leaving the hangar alive. A conversation was struck up by the sisters as they attempted to persuade Zandro and Xayun to turn away from the darkness that was clouding their judgment, but their efforts were futile and wasted upon the distraught Zandro and his brother. They tried to explain to him that they had hired the pirates to kill Breshnaa because they thought she was corrupting him, but Zandro retorted that the only thing Breshnaa had ever showed him was a new path that he would have to take himself.

{{Quote|She never pushed me down this path; I chose it after you nudged me in its direction by having her killed. And now your deed comes full circle and I will end you.|Zandro Savric Erinos}}

Knowing that their efforts had failed, the sisters attacked in hope of destroying the dark half of their family. The battle raged on with neither side seeming to be able to make a definitive strike to knock out either of their opponents. Zandro and Xayun were tiring, but the Dark side and a desire to survive were keeping them going, with their sisters seeming to be drawing energy from within in a manner that the two brothers found they were unable to replicate. The fight continued and the brothers began to slow before suddenly the eldest sister, Antana, made a breakthrough against Zandro and was about to make the killing blow when Chris made his intervention. Ignoring his friends' wishes that the fight be left to the two Erinos brothers,[[Image:kalskirata.jpg|frame|right|The brothers' grandfather, Kal Skirata]] he saw Zandro about to be struck down and ran at the fighters, his twin [[starwars:WESTAR-34 blaster pistol|Westar-34 pistols]] spitting out crimson bolts that did nothing more than distract the female Erinos, but that was exactly what Chris had wanted. Antana flicked the bolts back at her attacker and her accurate deflections of the shots cause two to slam into Chris' chest, stopping his charge dead and sending him tumbling to the floor. In the time that his sister had been distracted, Zandro had risen to his feet only to see another friend killed. A scream of anguish tore from his lips and he charged his sister, whose backhand slash cut Zandro across his face, leaving the scar he still has today. Her inability to strike the killing blow was all the young Arconan needed however, and he struck forward and speared her through the stomach, wounding her irreversibly. Seeing her sister defeated, the final Erinos sister turned to Xayun and began to plead with him, appealing to him rather than risking tempting Zandro's bloodlust by annoying him with her weakness. Xayun, however, was the only person to see how Breshnaa's death had affected young Zandro and so showed no mercy as he cut his sister down, ending the turmoil that had been swelling within Zandro and bringing as much closure to the situation as they could. The two brothers and Sashar rushed over to Chris, but found him already dead thanks to the bolts that Antana had deflected back at him. They took his body and headed back to their ship, putting Chris into the Maverick and sealing it before heading off to the Erinos house. As the trio returned home, they received news which would lead them down a new path thanks to the revealing of a desperate secret. When they confronted their mother on her unusual activity earlier, she revealed to them that they had an elder brother they had never known of. She told them of how she had become pregnant before she had met their father and had given the child to the father who was a [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]]. He had taken the son to [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]] and had died in a crash as his shuttle entered the atmosphere. They had presumed the boy to be dead too, but he was brought to the Kodiak Clan on Dxun and brought up a Mandalorian. She then revealed that he was the very man stood with them, and that Sashar was in fact Zandro and Xayun's elder half brother. The news, while not unwelcome, took a while to set in and in that time they quizzed their father, hoping to get all of the truth out in the open once and for all. He told them why he had kept them back from their Mandalorian heritage which they had inherited from him and truth about his own father, [[starwars:Kal Skirata|Kal Skirata]]. With tempers placated and all secrets out in the open, the trio decided to head back to the Brotherhood and see how it had changed in their absence. Little did they know that their arrival would coincide with a war that threatened to tear the Brotherhood in two.

=== The Return ===

Zandro and Sashar returned to Arcona while Xayun headed off to Clan Naga Sadow, and as they returned they found that a [[Great Jedi War]] had erupted, with two seemingly identical [[Grand Master]]s facing off against each other in a bid to prove that they were the real [[Jac Cotelin]]. Plunged headfirst into the action, Zandro was placed out on the front lines and given command of a small contingent of the Arconan fleet, leading them extremely well and bringing both himself and his troops the glory of being the second most successful of all the fleets in the conflict. However, he had joined towards the end of the conflict, and so his only real accomplishment was the success of his use of strategic tactics with his fleet before the real GM had retaken the [[Iron Throne]]. With the war over, Arcona was left to pick up the pieces and Zandro was brought back to regular service as a member of Soulfire Battleteam once more, also being given the title of [[Security Chief of Galeres]] after the previous one had been elevated to Quaestor. Having found closure on the issue of his dead lover, he found a renewed love for [[Lightsaber]] dueling as well as the use of strategic simulators, entering tournaments throughout the Galaxy on behalf of the Brotherhood in an attempt to prove his prowess and picking up some wins for his trouble. It was this period between his return from his mission of Vengeance and his re-instatement as Soulfire Sergeant that is widely regarded as his most successful to date, as he picked up two wins in a Galactic level competition (ICTE) and also proving his skills by defeating many fellow Brotherhood members and gaining entry into the prestigious ranks of the [[GMRG]]. It was here that he further developed his use of the [[Makashi]] style of lightsaber combat while also honing his flying skills so that they were nearly back up to his old standard.

=== The Revelation ===

Zandro had settled into a routine and was, for once, happy with what he was doing and who he was doing it with. However, 2 events occurred in quick succession which would shape him and change his personality and outlook on life in one fell swoop. Called into his Consul's office one day, he received word that Breshnaa, his supposedly long-dead love, had been spotted alive and acting as an envoy on Antei. Told that he was being given several days leave to sort out the situation, Zandro left Dajorra with his mind reeling, shock and dismay playing around his mind as he realized that if Breshnaa was alive, he had killed his sisters for a crime they hadn't committed. Knowing that he needed to know the truth, he tracked Breshnaa down on Antei and confronted her on her new role and where she had been for the past 2 years of his life. She revealed that she had been told to get him into the Brotherhood by any means necessary, as her masters had seen Xayun's quick progress and decided that the other Erinos brother would also be a useful addition to the Dark Jedi ranks.

{{Quote|"I was told to get you Zandro, there was nothing else I could do." "There is always another choice Breshnaa, and you know that."|Zandro Savric Erinos and Breshnaa arguing}}

The discussion did nothing to aid Zandro's recovery and in fact caused him to lose control, striking out at the woman he had once loved with his lightsaber and causing a ferocious lightsaber duel to ensue but Breshnaa was only doing it to survive, Zandro was out to kill. The battle raged on and neither seemed able to take advantage when Zandro's fury finally got the better of him, and he allowed himself to fall completely to the Dark Side, feeding his power with the anguish and pain that was tearing through his body. He used the power to help strike down his lover, stabbing her through the chest and ending that chapter of his life for good.

{{Quote|"I never stopped loving you Zandro." "I did."|Breshnaa's last words and Zandro's reply}}

=== The War ===

Shortly after Breshnaa's death at Zandro's hand, a new event swept through his life, changing everything that he had known and thought to be solid and untouchable. The Grand Master began the Second Rite of Supremacy and Zandro was plunged headfirst into the action, fighting for his Clan and coming out as one of the highest placing Arconan's in the tournament. Designed to prepare the Brotherhood for the Yuuzhan Vong invasion that was expected to come, no-one was ready when the Vong finally struck, mere hours later.
[[Image:Vong Warrior 5.jpg|frame|left|A Yuuzhan Vong]]
On the way back from the award ceremony on the ''Vae Victus'' for the recent Rite, a Yuuzhan Vong assault force emerged from hyperspace and proceeded to attack the Brotherhood ships that were assembled, capturing Zandro in the process.

Zandro did not spend too much time as a captive of the Vong however, and was swiftly freed thanks to some quick thinking by Orv Desserx d’Tana and the skill of Soulfire and the rest of the Arconan Dark Jedi. Immediately after his release, he joined his half-brothers Kieran and Sashar in an effort to find out the state of the Deputy Grand Master on board the Vae Victus, which was under assault by the Vong attackers. As they made their way though, their mission changed and suddenly they were tasked with denying the craft to the Vong. Fighting their way through heavy resistance, they reached the reactor core and proceeded to cause the ship to be destroyed, though not before they had made a narrow escape. One of the Soulfirian pilots who had escorted them in was also killed on the mission, a blow to the tight-knit group.

As the remnants of the Arconan military attempted to get themselves back onto their feet after the disastrous first meeting with the Vong, Zandro began to notice a change in himself that had been developing for a while. He was slowly becoming darker and more likely to have violent mood swings. Mercy seemed to be seeping from him with rage taking it’s place, which was one of the main points behind his change of focus from the Obelisk to the Sith order. It was soon after this change that he faced his next big test, as he finally made the passage to the next real level of leadership.

=== Elevation ===

As Zandro pondered his recent psychological changes, he was brought sharply back to the present when Mejas Doto was re-instated as Consul of Clan Arcona and announced his plans for a grand project which would bring a new lease of life to the Clan: Project RESSURECTION. The Elder’s plan was to stage a huge competition to weed out the unworthy of the Clan and to find a group of leaders who were willing and able to go to any lengths to bring Arcona back to its former glory. Zandro knew that with this change one of his final ambitions could be achieved, if he had the courage to step up to the plate and the skill to back up his claim for leadership of House Galeres.

{{Quote|“This is my chance to prove myself worthy of leading Galeres.” “It won’t be without danger, you could die.” “There is always that risk and it has never stopped me before.”|Zandro Savric Erinos and Sashar Arconae}}[[Image:Galeres.jpg|thumb|right|Galeres Logo]]

Zandro threw himself at the competition and emerged victorious, one of two new House leaders and with his half-brother Sashar emerging as the new Proconsul. It was in this position that he worked diligently, preferring to keep the position of Aedile free until he felt he was ready to accept one who would work well with him. Time went on and Galeres carried on as always as Zandro spent more and more time concentrating on his studies, working out what had happened to him and how he could reverse it should he feel the need to. However, shortly after passing onto a higher plan of Force knowledge and being promoted to the rank of Sith Battlemaster, Zandro realized that in his educational fervour he had lost sight of his duties to Galeres and had neglected his role somewhat. This realisation also prompted another one; he finally needed to appoint an Aedile to help him in his duties. Looking at the available talent that was present in the House and Clan, Zandro eventually decided that Rho d’Tana was the best candidate, and appointed him as his right hand. The pair had little time to work together however, as a new darkness spread itself over Arcona...

=== The Champion ===

Soon after the appointment of Rho as his new right-hand man, Zandro and his House faced a new threat which came from within Arcona, when House Qel-Droma was taken by its leader Quejo and moved to attack a Jedi outpost on the planet Eclipse. Hearing of this decision by his opposite number, Zandro ordered his house to prepare for battle and followed Qel-Droma to Eclipse. Upon arrival in the system, Zandro's attempt to dissuading Quejo from the attack resulted in the Qel-Droma leader ordering his ship to fire on the Galerian craft and sparked a fight which waged between both Galeres and Qel-Droma as well as the Jedi on the Planet. The intervention of the Clan summit prevented the conflict escalating too far, but the damage had been done and Quejo and Zandro were both warned that while their ambition was admirable, it was also dangerous.
[[Image:DarkOrbLogo.png|thumb|left|Dark Orb Logo]]
They then went on to explain that the whole thing had been planned by them and that it had in fact been a test to see how ready the Clan was and who her stronger members were, as well as weeding out those unworthy of being in the Clan any longer. They had reviewed the end results of the planned assault and proclaimed that Zandro was to be named the Champion of Eclipse due to the skills he had exhibited in the conflict. Upon receiving this information, Quejo decided that he needed to step down and go on a break so as to recoup his strength, allowing him to come back stronger and ready for the conflicts that could be felt on the horizon. Zandro was asked by the Clan Summit to become the new leader for Qel-Droma, and with his acceptance they also proclaimed that Zandro's previous Aedile, Rho d'Tana, was to become his successor as Quaestor of Galeres.

His tenure as the leader of Qel-Droma was short-lived however as his body began to feel taxed after his lengthy time in command as well as the hardships he had faced. His decision was made and he retreated from command to take a place in the newly re-opened battleteam of [[Dark Orb]], led by his long-time friend Legorii Krytek Entar.

=== The Orb and The Return ===
[[Image:Sflogo.gif|thumb|right|Soulfire’s Emblem]]
Zandro's time in Dark Orb was filled with good memories and the squad he put together was one which brought him as much pride as almost any he could remember. He felt his strength returning with every passing day in the squad and knew that soon he would be ready for command once more, this happy thought marred only by the knowledge that he stood a very real chance of losing his newly created squad. Several important missions were completed by DO and it was only a matter of time before the leaders of the Clan stood up and took notice of the squad, declaring them the second best team in Arcona, ahead even of the legendary Soulfire Strike Team. Zandro's contributions were not the best of the squad, but pointed to his recovering strength and so he was summoned to meet with Vorion and Sashar, the new Clan Summit. His half-brother informed him of his decision to move Zandro back to his first home in Soulfire and temporarily take command of the squad in an attempt to get it back to its feet in the wake of its decline to the third team in the Clan. Zandro eagerly accepted the mission and returned to the Dark Orb base with the news, his stomach dropping only when he had to say goodbye to his squad and head off alone, returning to his first home in an attempt to revive the glory days.

== Redemption ==

{{Quote|. Pain fades, glory is eternal.”|Zandro Savric Erinos}}

== Appearance ==

Standing at just above 6 foot in height, the Yaga Minorian has quite sallow skin. He believes that this is a sign from his various brushes with the Dark Side of what would happen should he succumb fully to the temptations of the Sith. He sees this as a reminder and tries to use it to keep his grip on the Grey teachings that he was given by his master Sashar. Zandro likes to let his brown hair flow relatively long and free, preferring not to tie it up and knowing that if it gets in his way, he always has the Force to help him anyway. He is relatively muscled and this can be seen whenever he is working out or just generally around the Arcona HQ, favouring short sleeved tunics to any other sort of garment. However, the most distinguishing feature is the scar that runs across his face, from his upper left forehead just below his hair line and then across his face in a diagonal line that ends by his right jaw, just above his mouth by further over. Obtained in the fight with his sisters during his hiatus from the Brotherhood, he keeps it as a reminder of the pain that he suffered as well as to remember the person for whom he was fighting for, his dead lover Breshnaa.

== The Armory ==

During Zandro's travels and with a little help from his friends, he has managed to pick up a wide variety of weapons, armors and gadgets which he uses in service to the Erinos, Qel-Droma and Arcona.

=== Lightsaber ===

[[image:RedeemerSithPurple.gif|frame|50px|Zandro's first lightsaber]]This is Zandro's first lightsaber, created when he first gained his rank of Dark Jedi Knight and just before his betrayal at the hands of Quejo. He spent just over 2 weeks (17 days to be exact) building the weapon, and is proud of it, seeing it's simplicity as an asset rather than a burden. As time grew on Zandro realized that the saber, while still fully functional, was not a true symbol of who he had become, and so set out to build his second lightsaber.

=== Synapse ===

[[image:zandrosabernew.jpg|left|frame|50px|Zandro's new lightsaber, Synapse]] Zandro took great care in constructing his new lightsaber, choosing his focusing and auxiliary crystals meticulously and spending almost 3 weeks building the weapon, striving for perfection with it. The primary crystal in the weapon is a Qixoni crystal which Zandro spent two weeks tracking down, 'borrowing' it from a rich businessman whose security on his private museum proved to be no match for Zandro's infiltration skills.

His next choice was which two of the many auxiliary crystals available he should use. His first choice was an Opila crystal given to him upon his promotion to Sith Battlemaster by his former Master, Sashar Arconae. The crystal was alleged to improve the blade of the lightsaber it was used in and would make that blade better at cutting through materials, something that was of particular use to the Battlemaster considering the resiliance shown by many Vong weapons and armor.

The final crystal used in the lightsaber was the hardest one to choose, but eventually he decided on a refined Opila stone, a Jenruax crystal, which would allegedly make his blade more agile and so easier to use in combat. The crystal was in fact found by the members of the Erinos Clan who were living in the Dajorra system when they uncovered a long dead Jedi and his lightsaber. Zandro retrieved the crystal from the weapon and put it in his own, completing the weapon and once more giving him a lightsaber which he felt he could truly reflect his personality.

=== Westar-34 Pistols ===

These pistols were a gift from his now deceased friend Chris Cox. Chris had found the blasters on one of his many Bounty Hunts and presented them along with the Unforgotten Legacy to Zandro before their ill-feighted mission for revenge. Kept close by his side ever since, Zandro sees these blasters as the ultimate back-up weapon. Light, durable and packing a strong punch, the fact that they can also fire like a repeater means that they are useful in almost all situations.
They also hold ties to his Mandalorian heritage, thus giving them an even closer place to Zandro's heart and he can rarely seen without these twin blasters at his side.

=== Armor ===

As taken from the Soulfire wiki...

[[image:zandrohelmet.jpg|frame|50px|Zandro's new helmet, with the Jaig Eyes painted on]]
''As Soulfire is the Elite of the clan, it only stands to reason that they receive the best ‘gear’ available. Never one to spare any expense on his favourites, the Consul commissioned a team of Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders from the Kodiak Clan of Dxun to fashion suits for his chosen Battleteam. The armor is built to be a lightweight version of Mandalorian Armor, however the distinctive T-visor on the helmet has been replaced in favor of a variety of different helmets depending on the chosen specialty of the wearer. All the armor is done in Black with a matte black bodysuit. The Soulfire emblem is painted onto the right pectoral plate and the armor has a turquoise trimming, to represent their fealty to House Galeres. On missions where stealth is a priority, the armor’s trimming is usually painted over, and the Soulfirians wear black over-cloaks to further give the image of a shadow (a nod in the direction of Arcona’s chosen Clan Force focus). Jet black plates cover the torso, shoulders, crotch, thighs and shins and the Soulfire emblem is painted on the right pectoral. About the waist there are various pouches to hold the equipment any Soulfirian needs (the standard equipment list is shown below). Mandalorian Iron was excluded as the choice for the armor as it proved to be too heavy for the function of a commando unit. Instead, laminanium armor (regenerative armor featured on the YVH Battle Droid) plating is found on the torso (the other armoured plating is standard plasteel armor). Due to the heavy nature of the alloy gel packs are utilized to reduce the wait but drastically shortens the life span of it’s self repairing function; now only able to withstand three direct hits. Where the armor doesn’t cover there is a matte black bodysuit that serves to insulate the body and regulate it using a new experimental memory-fabric which can alter its density according to the wearer’s body temperature, loosening if they are cold to create a layer of air between the body and the fabric so that the body can warm up, whereas if the body is hot, the fabric tightens, absorbing any sweat directly from the pores and a specially-designed chemical in the memory fabric will react with the salt in the sweat to lower the temperature, thereby keeping the wearer from overheating.''

The various helmets that are used to distinguish the different members of the squad are also customised depending on the awards that the members have won. With the recent award of the Soulfirian Jaig Eyes award, Zandro opted to have his helmet completely revamped, asking for his armourer to make the helmet more fearsome as well as adding the new Jaig Eyes to the armor.

Zandro was presented with a suit of Soulfirian armor upon his elevation to Quaestor which he still uses to this day.

[[Ylith]] is a [[Sith Battlemaster]] who calls the [[House]] of [[House Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] his home as a member of [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]]. He has been in exile for two years and returned only just with the bearing of a grave danger to both himself and his peers. He fights for his life against a curse that threatens to slowly destroy his body while trying hard to be able to use the Force like any other Battlemaster due the the handicap that limits his ability to wield the Force. A changed man, he now returns to the only home he had ever known in search for both a new start and a safe haven for him to have his strengths return.

{{Quote|He whom admits he is not heroic is the most heroic of all.|Ylith}}
{{:Ylith/Page One}}{{:Ylith/Page Two}}

=== Former Physical Marks and Scars ===
'''Genetic Disease'''

The Valheru's immortality comes with a price, the fast degeneration of his host body. Draken calls this 'the Curse' and starts with sending black veins over the entire body. When Draken's spirit was severed from Ylith's body at the end of the Vong invasion, the growth of this curse was increasing rapidly over his arm and entire body, causing his lifespan to shorten down to only a few months.

After consulting Macron Goura Keibatsu about the matter, Ylith found a way together with his former Consul to alter his genetics in his blood, and his body along with it, using a vail of ancient Valheru blood hidden within the Amlug Aral Dagger Ylith was able to alter his blood with the help of Macron, and fully remove the curse.

'''Synthetic Arm'''

A major physical handicap is a metal arm. His biological left arm was lost during a raid on Coratua IV (Obelisk RoS). The arm itself is made of durasteel materials, allowing the wearer to withstand extreme pressure and temprature differences without malfunction of the inner systems. Another feat is that it can be disconnected at the shoulder easily so it can be replaced with another one within a matter of seconds, which has a positive effect on the battlefield.

After the Vong War Ylith became entwined in a large conflict with Draken, who was taken over by one of the Vong who had attacked him during the war, taking the Valheru Sword of Darkness and corruption Draken's spirit. Being mortally wounded and having lost most of his limbs, Macron Goura Keibatsu decided to create a 'Husk Clone' of Ylith and replace the lost bodyparts using the limbs form the lifeless clone. This ensured that Ylith got his normal left arm back, instead of the Synthetic replacement.

'''"X" shaped Scar'''

The Sith wears many scars like a slight X like scar above his heart of which he enherited from Ylith. Mostly removed when he reached Equite status. The scar was placed by his Master Ciara during his training. When Ylith reached the status of Dark Jedi Knight and removed himself from the teachings of his former Master, he used medical surgery to remove the scar from his body. However, the scar was infused with the Dark Side and still continues to burn itself into Ylith's skin. Though less obvious than before.

The scar was fully removed by [[Jades "Imperial" Atema|Jade Imperial]] using special healing techniques used by her kind. Showing that the Sith Battlemaster had grown beyond all weaknesses he had before.

== Trivia ==
=== Facts ===
* The name Ylith is from a book of Raymond E Feist and is the name of one of the Free Cities.
* From the same book Ylith created the Valheru species and modified them into his own style and to fit Star Wars.
* It took Ylith one whole year to get the Valheru species a fact within the Brotherhood.

'''Xayun Erinos''' is a former Imperial, now a [[Sith Warrior]] of [[Clan Tarentum]]. Born in the fledgling years of the New Republic, he joined the Imperial Remnant's Navy shortly before his brother, [[Zandro Savric Erinos]], and was eventually brought into the Dark Brotherhood and [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. After spending several years there, he left for Tarentum, shortly before discovering his relation to [[Sashar]] and co-founding the [[Erinos]] family.

{{Quote|What are ''you'' looking at?|Xayun Erinos}}

==Xayun Erinos - Character History==

===Birth on Yaga Minor===
[[File:7299 warbanner.png|thumb|left|100px|Xayun's warbanner]]
Xayun Erinos was born one year after the destruction of the first Death Star, on [[starwars:Yaga Minor|Yaga Minor]], a staunchly Imperial planet. His parents were both members of the Empire, and their love of the Imperial order was projected onto Xayun and his younger brother Zandro (born two years after Xayun) at an early age. As children, the two would listen to their father's stories of being a TIE pilot, engaging in vicious dogfights with the 'evil' Rebel Alliance. As both Xayun and Zandro grew up, their hatred of the Rebellion grew - they were, in the minds of the brothers, trying to destroy their home and family life. It was no surprise when both wanted to become a pilots themselves, and it wasn't long before Xayun had signed up for the Imperial Navy after lying about his age, and he was on the way to the Academy, shortly followed by Zandro.

===Xayun: TIE Pilot===

Graduating from the Academy with his wings and full honours, Xayun was assigned to the Carrack-Class Cruiser Vindicator II (Zandro was stationed in the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet). Embarking on endless patrol duty, he was angered at the rise of the New Republic and the fact that he was seemingly being barred from taking revenge on the 'jumped-up Rebels'. Then, on one such tedious patrol route, a group of Republic fighters emerged from hyperspace. Seeing his chance, Xayun shot down the attackers before the rest of his squadron had fully comprehended what was happening.
Over the course of the next few years, Xayun worked his way through the ranks of the Imperial Navy, eventually turning down a position in fleet command to continue flying TIEs. His career was to be cut short, however - ironically, with another patrol flight.

===Joining the Brotherhood===

An unidentified fighter had made it's way into the no-fly zones around [[starwars:Bastion|Bastion]]. Xayun and his flight group were sent to identify the mystery pilot and, if necessary, terminate him. Watching the ship heading for the planet's surface, the squadron followed it down into the atmosphere. Once they had cleared the ozone layer, the fighter attacked, blowing away Xayun's flight group an causing the young pilot to crash-land on a deserted part of the planet. Regaining consciousness and finding the mystery pilot waiting for him, he was told that his abilities had attracted the attention of a group far more powerful than the Imperial Remnant, and that he could either take up the shadowy organization on their offer of power - or remain stranded in the wilderness of Bastion. Intrigued, and refusing to have his life end now, Xayun accepted, and followed the man back to Brotherhood space.

====Clan Naga Sadow====

Upon first joining the Dark Brotherhood, Xayun was drafted into [[House Primus Goluud]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Coming into the clan at the beginning of the [[Fifth Great Jedi War]] was extremely disconcerting for the young man, and he gradually faded from events. In two years time, however, he returned to find his former clan a changed place - they had new leaders, new members, and his former house had been closed by [[Malik Sadow]] during his time as Consul. Joining [[House Ludo Kressh]], Xayun tried to amend his two-year absence by working as hard as he could for his clan. He became Clan Envoy for a long period and served as Aedile of House Ludo Kressh. Later, Xayun transferred from Clan Naga Sadow to [[Clan Tarentum]].

===Revelations===

During his transition from Naga Sadow to Tarentum, Xayun discovered that his younger brother was also a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and resided in Clan Arcona. Xayun was introduced to Zandro's master, [[Sashar]], while the three attempted to find the killers of Zandro's dead fiancée. During the mission, the three developed a bond that would soon lead Zandro to question Sashar's true origins. After their mission was over, the group confronted Xayun and Zandro's mother, and were shocked to learn that she had, before the birth of her sons, had an affair with a Mandalorian and given birth to his child, who was sent to the Kodiak Clan on Dxun - the child from this illicit affair was none other than Sashar. The revelation stunned Xayun and Zandro, who could little comprehend the re-emergence of a brother they never knew they had. This information led the two to confront their father, who revealed he was the son of a Mandalorian named Kal Skirata, who had abandoned his children in their early years. He had blamed Skirata's Mandalorian nature for his failure as a father, and decided his own children would be brought up without any knowledge of their heritage. Xayun and Zandro accepted their father's reasons, and as they made their way back to Brotherhood space, Sashar pitched an idea to the brothers. He knew of several Mandalorians within the Dark Brotherhood, and believed that along with these warriors, the three could unite under a single name, forming the [[Erinos]] family.

==Characteristics==

===Appearance===

[[Image:Xayun2.jpg|thumb|left|Xayun's GMRG armor]] Xayun is a tall individual, towering over most at six feet, two inches. His mop of dark brown hair falls over one blue-green eye, and his usual attire is his black-and-red robes over a black flight suit, white stormtrooper armor taken from his time in the Empire, or more recently a black-and-red combat suit adorned with various melee weapons, firearms and explosives. He also on occasion wears an officer's uniform he retains for formal functions.

He has a small crescent scar running from the outside corner of his right eye, received in a training duel with his former master and Quaestor, [[Xia Long]].

===Personality===

Typically, Xayun appears caustic and distant towards his fellow Brotherhood members - even those in his own clan. However, his biting sarcasm and subdued nature belie a strong loyalty to his friends and allies, and an unbreakable bond with his brothers, adopted or otherwise - if needed, he would gladly give his own life for another Erinos. His sardonic quips, however, are amplified during combat, where he becomes a hyperactive ball of energy, dispensing cocky one-liners and irritating exposition with seemingly reckless abandon. While this is an ingrained facet of his personality, it serves a purpose - Xayun uses his particular brand of humour to infuriate and distract his opponent, causing them to make crucial mistakes. One clanmate specifically stated that the most dangerous weapon in Xayun's arsenal is his mouth - even if it does tend to get him into more trouble than it helps him get out of.

Up until the Yuuzhan Vong occupation of [[Arcona]] space, Xayun resided at the [[Venku Range|Erinos homestead]] on [[Arconae Primus]]. He now splits his time between the headquarters of [[House Cestus]] and his quarters aboard the [[ISDII Magnus Kaerner]].

===Combat===

[[Image:SixshotNew.jpg|thumb|right|Sixshot]]Xayun is a master of the [[Makashi]] saber style. The finesse of the style greatly appealled to him, and he devoted large amounts of time upon reaching Knight status to master it. He is also proficient a large number of bladed weapons, has demolitions training and is an excellent marksman, and of course is also an excellent combat pilot. He flies a slightly modified TIE Hunter - the same he crashed into Bastion, which he was able to salvage weeks later. His other mode of transportation is his modified YT-2000, the ''[[Nextwave]]'', which is now housed in the repurposed hulk of the [[VSD Corsair]], the new home of House Cestus.

Xayun also carries a custom-made firearm called the Sixshot. The gun is a throwback to the projectile weapons of earlier times, and fires regular ammunition rather than blaster bolts or a typical energy beam. The ammunition used has slight armor-piercing capabilities, and the design is such that most people are fooled into thinking of it as a primitive and ineffective weapon. Xayun also carries at least one blade at all times, most commonly a sword that he refuses to name on the grounds that it's "a slightly upgraded pointy stick". Despite his aptitude with this weapon and a number of other bladed weapons, he prefers ranged combat, and will always opt for a gun before a mêlée weapon. His love for firearms of all kinds is only exceeded by his love of blowing things up. Xayun is also a competent hand-to-hand fighter, employing [[starwars:Teräs Käsi|Teräs Käsi]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeet_Kune_Do Jeet Kune Do]. [[Image:XayunPose.jpg|right|200px|thumb]]

== 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.

====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.

===Departure===

====Good Business====
Xathia was finding herself becoming more immersed in her business profile than in her Dark Jedi persona. Though there was one thing that was still irritating the woman, her father was deceased, yet her siblings seemed no less deranged whenever she bumped into them. On a final return to Omwat, Xathia and Alyssa took to hiding in a hotel. The plan was to attack on her childhood home, as Celevon joined them in the morning before their evening move.

Skirting around the edge of the city as night fell, they came into contact with a Jedi, though this one had no intention of bringing either them to the light side, or eliminating them from the Force. The Jedi and Xathia were matched for fight quality, where the Krath dominated in speed, the other woman was able to counter with strength. It came to light that the Jedi was Sapphyre, better know to Xathia as Kyria, her oldest sister who had managed to escape from a violent marriage into the Jedi Order. Between the three of them, Axelle, Aisling and Colton, all lay dead. Axelle had been Force Sensitive, though deadly shrouded in corruption, and hidden from everyone's sight.

Sapphyre was able to hide the trio at her temporary accommodations overnight to clean up the blood before they were to depart their separate ways in the morning. On Xathia and Celevon's way to the Spaceport, they were hijacked by the head of local police, and the greediness over the size of the bounty on Xathia's head brought in a lot of attraction. An external investigator had also been hired to track the woman down by the police force, though he recognised Celevon from their Piloting days, and switched sides when the Hapan revealed he was waiting for her capture for payment, which the Police Chief immediately shot down.

Alyssa was waiting at the ship, and was not happy to discover that they had picked up another male who was not her Uncle to take back to the Brotherhood.

====Third Time Lucky====
<to be continued>

== 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.

The '''Wardens''' are a [[Battleteam]] of House [[Ektrosis]] of [[Taldryan]]. The team was formed in [[36 ABY]] as a special force within the [[House]] led by [[Quejo Drakai Xyler|Quejo]]. The Wardens are trained to handle the day-to-day tasks for the [[House Summit]], which are either too difficult or too sensitive for the regular military to deal with. Under the guidance of their commander, the Wardens are proving to be an exceptional unit with the training and skills to tackle assignments both locally and throughout [[starwars:the Galaxy|the Galaxy]].

==History==
[[File:Mirus-250px.png|thumb|175px|left|Mirus Cavataio, first Warden-Commander.]]
In the aftermath of the [[Horizon - The Cure|Horizons plague]], [[Taldryan|House Taldryan]]'s summit realized that there was a dire need for a rapid response team during the reorganization of the [[Taldryan Expansionary Force]]. This necessitated the formation of a team dedicated to the missions that required an organized team of Dark Jedi, ones that could be called on whenever needed, unlike the chaotic nature of the [[Old Folks' Home]]. A new strike team was proposed for various missions requiring skills ranging from discretion to destruction, as well as guarding the populace of Taldryan's holdings from the direst threats. Taking the most promising from the ranks of the students and battle-hardened veterans alike, the Summit decreed the new battleteam to be the Wardens of Unity, named for the strongest weapon Taldryan ever possessed: its brotherhood.

[[Quaestor]] [[Rian Aslar]] approached his apprentice, [[Mirus Cavataio]], to form this elite unit. While Mirus had some initial doubt, he sought out a variety of members from across Taldryan, people who he had encountered before or knew of by reputation, such as [[Phoenix Phyle]] veteran and prior leader Bubbles Taldrya, or the Master and Apprentice team [[Lokasena Corvinus]] (also a veteran of Phoenix) and [[Miranda Goto]]. Upon tentative assembly of the team, Mirus was given access to the vaults of Phoenix Phyle and extracted parts of its equipment while commissioning new gear from Taldryan's finest armorers. With the first batch of Wardens ready for action, the Wardens of Unity began operations in 36 ABY.

==Role==
Each individual member of the battleteam is referred to as a Warden, its leader referred to as Warden-Commander. Each Warden has autonomous freedom to act within the confines of Taldryan space in order to stamp out threats and investigate any transgressions that they may come across, in consultation with the House Summit. This allows the Wardens to act swiftly and decisively against smaller threats that can be easily handled or coordinate with other forces of Taldryan in order to tackle larger and more comprehensive missions.

Wardens serve not only as soldiers and inquisitors but also loremasters and researchers. The wide range of experience belonging to the Wardens typically covers any discipline required on any mission; Orders are mixed interchangeably to allow for the spreading of knowledge and applications. In this way, whatever task the House Summit puts before the Wardens to accomplish, they can and will find a way to do it. Any available Warden can take missions at any time without prompting from the Warden-Commander.

==Aegis Hall==
[[File:KarufrGreatHall.jpg|thumb|175px|right|The Great Hall on Karufr.]]
The Wardens’ facility is a compound part of the [[Taldryan Great Hall]] named Aegis Hall. Two armed guards stand at the hall’s entrance at all times and only members of the Wardens and their support personnel are ever granted permission to enter. In here the Wardens conduct their business, while its levels descend lower and lower underground for security. A [[starwars:Turbolift|turbolift]] connects all three levels on the southern end to an exit chamber, with the rest of each level being designed in a horseshoe shape.

The uppermost level has the main hall and the library, in which relics and books alike are kept covering a wide variety of topics that the Wardens may need to call to access, specifically on the holdings of the Brotherhood and other ancient knowledge of the [[Krath]], [[Sith]] and [[Obelisk]] Orders. The most dangerous of these are kept in a secured vault, also guarded by two sentries. Access to the restricted vault comes from the Warden-Commander and the House Summit.

The second level holds the training halls, of which there are three rooms, all designed with a specific purpose in mind. The first is a fully equipped shooting range with holographic targets, good for ranges up to fifty feet. The second room is a close-quarters training room with striking dummies, weapons racks padded floor mats for ground-fighting in which all armed and unarmed martial arts can be trained. The third room is a fully-equipped gym with everything from weights machines to weights racks and cardio training machines. Punching bags, speed balls and floor mats for stretching are also provided here.

The third floor plays host to an amphitheater that serves as a meeting room and briefing room all in one. On the far end is a small dais upon which the speaker stands and two rows of plastic chairs on the far side that are raised up slightly for better viewing access. In the middle of the room is a large projector for displaying all kinds of mission-relevant information.

The lowest floor is the command and control center. In here, the Wardens and the House Summit can monitor communications, track fleet movements all across Taldryan space and gather intelligence before deploying on a mission by using the standard Taldryan networks. This room provides the Wardens with constant, up-to-date information with all intelligence that they may require.

==Training==
Wardens’ training is quick and basic given that many Wardens already learn or possess much of the required skills from their Master. Each Warden is given a very intense three-part training course over a week that allows them to undertake all of the tasks that they may be required to do independently, giving them a very honed and keen edge against all foes. Those with prior battleteam experience (for example, those in Phoenix Phyle) may opt out of any stage of the training – all new recruits are required to complete all three stages before deployment. All Wardens take a tour of Aegis Hall and are introduced to its many features before being shipped off to the training course.

[[File:SurvivalTraining.png|thumb|right|175px|Advanced Equite survival training on Taruma.]]

All Wardens undergo basic weapons training beyond that of a [[lightsaber]] in the first phase; they must be familiar with use of a [[starwars:Vibroknife|vibroknife]], a blaster and at least one unarmed combat discipline for subduing an enemy. The Head Combat Instructor at Aegis Hall carries out this training. This training also incorporates specific use of the armor and blaster that all Wardens are given.

The second phase of training is survival training. Wardens are sent to the world of [[Taruma]] for a four-day survival course through forested, jungle and oceanic terrain, ensuring they know basic hostile terrain survival, first aid and movement skills such as abseiling. The final day is essentially a solo survival challenge; random dangers are sprung on the Warden, such as wild beast attacks, theft of food and forced marches and multiple-mile swimming sessions are commonplace. This is easily the most rigorous and difficult part of the training course.

The final phase is a one-day ‘tutorial’ course, teaching Wardens about the [[Kr'Tal System]] and the [[Rybanloth System]] as well as other Taldryan holdings in some detail. This phase includes how to interact with military commanders without undermining their authority and how to requisition additional gear or resources from the House Summit. Once this phase is completed, a Warden’s training is complete.

Other training can be acquired from the Head Combat Instructor, Chief Armorer or from other Wardens who specialize in the advanced fields that one wishes to improve in. Sharing of knowledge and skills is highly encouraged and should be done wherever possible in order to ensure the advancement of each individual Warden’s talents.

==Equipment==
===Personal Equipment===
Wardens are encouraged to cultivate their own set of equipment customized to their tastes given each Warden's individual style in regards to completing any given particular task. However, a standard kit of equipment is issued to each Warden upon joining to cover any gaps in their equipment that they may not be able to cover. The equipment is designed to resemble that of a standard soldier with considerable firepower.
[[File:WardensArmor.png|thumb|left|135px|Phase II-mod.IV battle armor with utility belt.]]

===Phase II-mod.IV Battle Armor===
This armor is based off two varieties of Republic-type armor; it is a blending of the aesthetic look of the ancient [[starwars:Galactic Republic|Galactic Republic]]'s trooper armor with the functionality and build of the more modern [[starwars:Phase II clone trooper armor|Phase II clone trooper armor]]. Using [[starwars:Plastoid|plastoid]] plating with a temperature-insulated black bodyglove, this provides basic protection from environmental attacks and basic kinetic damage in the same way its predecessor does. It also incorporates an armor-cam, wrist-mounted [[starwars:comlink|comlink]] and bio-scanners. Standard armor is painted in dark gray with brown trims, but the colors can be modified to suit personal tastes. The helmet is also an optional addition.
[[File:DC-17m Interchangable Weapon System.jpg|thumb|right|175px|DC-17m ICWS & DC-15s blasters.]]

===DC-17m Interchangeable Weapons System===
The [[starwars: DC-17m InterchangeableWeaponSystem|DC-17m]] is the Wardens’ primary piece of weaponry, first used by the Galactic Republic's [[starwars:Clone commando|clone commandos]] and then liberated from the vaults of Phoenix Phyle for re-use after being re-calibrated by the Head Armorer. Designed as an adaptable, multi-role weapon, the DC-17m saves space and weight in any trooper’s kit, though is considerably more expensive than standard blaster rifles employed by most military forces. For the purposes of the Wardens, this kind of flexible weapon espouses their doctrine of individual adaptability and suits them perfectly. The weapon has three primary attachments, any of which can be changed out by swapping the barrel and magazine attachment for a different piece – the main of these is a rapid-firing ion pulse rifle effective against droid and organic targets alike. Second is a long-range sniper attachment that has both 10x and 20x magnification for long-range shots on its scope. Third is an anti-armor grenade launcher with considerable explosive yield, with four shots before reload. There are currently no other attachments available to the Wardens.

===DC-15s Sidearm===
The [[starwars:DC-15s side arm blaster|DC-15s]] is a matching weapon to the DC-17m, using many of the same parts found in the larger blaster weapon. Its primary feature is its self-recharging energy chamber, lowering the amount of tibanna gas required for the weapon to expend with each shot. The DC-15s can fire seven shots before needing to recharge at least one shot before firing again; a small display shows how much charge is in the weapon that decreases with each shot fired. These are light, easy to carry weapons and make an excellent emergency backup in a combat situation.

===Standard Issue Utility Belt===
This utility belt is designed to carry a wide array of equipment that a Warden would find useful in any given situation. The belt clasps on the front and can be found as a standard part of the Mod IV armor, but does not need the armor to be used. All of the tools and equipment are kept inside hardened black plastoid packs to resist the elements. It includes a supply of food and water pellets, a [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]], an underwater [[starwars:Rebreather|rebreather]], a [[starwars:Grappling spike launcher|grappling hook]], [[starwars:bacta|bacta]] and [[starwars:Synthflesh|synthflesh]] medical kits plus spare pouches for additional ammunition or other tools as chosen by the Warden.

{{quote|Mors Ex Tenebris: Death from the darkness|Void Squadron Motto}}
'''Void Squadron''' was a [[battleteam]] attached to [[House]] [[Qel-Droma]] serving [[Clan]] [[Arcona]]. Founded in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]] , the squadron was created in order to address perceived shortcomings on the part of Arcona’s [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] units exposed during the [[Dark Brotherhood|Dark Brotherhood's]] [[Tenth Great Jedi War|invasion]] of [[New Tython]]. The unit was stationed aboard Arcona’s [[starwars:Cardan I-class space station|Cardan-class]] battlestation, [[Dusk Station]], and usually operated from the [[Starwars:Nebula-class Star Destroyer|''Nebula''-class]] star destroyer [[NSD Invicta|''Invicta'']] during combined fleet operations.

In 37 ABY, the Battleteam was dis-established, with the Stealth-Xs being made available to its past members and commanders.

== Role ==
[[file:void-combinedops.jpg|thumb|175px|left|Void Squardon combined training operations.]]Void Squadron is officially a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] focused [[starwars:TIE/In interceptor|TIE Interceptor]] squadron operating fighters equipped with both [[starwars:hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] and [[starwars:Deflector shield|shield]] systems. However, this is merely to cover the true nature of the squadron as an elite group operating the [[starwars:StealthX|StealthX]] starfighter. The first operational unit within the Brotherhood to deploy the StealthX, Void Squadron is one of the primer squadrons of the [[Arcona Starfighter Corps]]. Few outside the squadron itself, the summit of Clan Arcona, or the clan’s military leadership know the true status of Void, with the deception of its Interceptor based identity maintained as a cover. This identity is strengthened by the assignment to the squadron of elite pilots chosen from other squadrons in Arcona’s military to pilot the group’s interceptors, effectively making Void two semi-autonomous units.

Operationally, the squadron is trained to carry out a variety of missions from reconnaissance to deep strikes. Unlike most other units in the Arconan military, the squadron most often operates independently without support. In some instances, however, the StealthX unit is accompanied by the TIE Interceptors piloted by their non-Jedi counterparts. In these operations, the Interceptors will make an attack as a feint to draw away defenders while the StealthX squadron then enters the area from another direction and destroys the exposed target. During combined fleet operations, both parts of Void are based aboard the ''Invicta'' with the Interceptors operating from the main hangar bay and the StealthXs assigned to a small auxiliary landing bay. This allows for Void to officially be seen during these missions as the Interceptor squadron while still operating with the fleet as a StealthX unit.

When not in combat, the unit focuses on training and the development of starfighter tactics. Often, the Dark Jedi pilots will fly the squadron’s Interceptors with and against their fellows or their non-Force using counterparts. In addition, Void Squadron will engage in joint training operations using their Interceptors with other units of the Arcona Starfighter Corps.

All aspiring members of Void Squadron are required to complete both a rigorous training course, as well as a one-on-one duel, in StealthX fighters, with any existing member of the squadron. The losing member currently does not have to step down, but it has been implied that this may be required in the future if the squadron's numbers reach the full dozen.

This is not to say that aspiring members may not be considered for a role in Void. They are actively encouraged to join. However, they do so under the pretense that they acquire their qualification to move up into a full capacity pilot within the Squadron.

==History==
=== Origins ===
[[file:starfighter-newtython.jpg|thumb|175px|Starfighter combat in orbit of [[New Tython]].]]Void Squadron could trace its creation directly back to the battle against the starfighter forces of the [[Ge'tal Gaan]] in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]]. For many years, the Arconan starfighter forces had grown complacent without having faced serious opposition. In the five years following the resolution of the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Yuuzhan Vong crisis]] and the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|Reclamation of Antei]], there had been little to test the [[Arcona Navy Corps|Arconan Navy]] and starfighter forces. The [[Spoils of War|Invasion of Salas V]] and [[Disorder|battles]] on [[Antei]] that followed placed a greater emphasis on ground combat at the expense of aerospace operations, further degrading starfighter readiness. The Dark Jedi of Arcona found it easy to eschew space combat in favor of more traditional martial roles. The desire to personally strike down an enemy with one’s own hand was far more tempting than starfighter drills and space combat training. In addition, Clan Arcona itself had found itself awash in members of the [[Obelisk]] [[Order]], their preference for more hands-on approaches to combat serving to further direct the attention of the clan towards ground and saber combat.

During the Brotherhood’s assault on New Tython, nearly every single Dark Jedi made planetfall along with elements of the [[Arcona Army Corps]]. The few that remained behind in space were stationed aboard the various capital warships of the Clan’s fleet. Every starfighter unit deployed in the battle was made up of regular pilots lacking training with the Force. During the planning stages of the assault, this did not seem to be an issue as the [[Odan-Urr|Jedi]] defending New Tython possessed negligible space-based defenses. During the operation, however, this would change.

As the Arconan ships began to deploy their troops and Jedi to the planet below, space forces of the [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] Ge'tal Gaan mercenary unit exited [[starwars:hyperspace|hyperspace]] nearly on top the Brotherhood fleet. The TIE Interceptors of [[Sin Squadron]] were among the very first to fall victim to the newcomers, but they would not be the last. While the combined Brotherhood forces would eventually rout the Mandalorian mercenaries, Arcona’s starfighter forces ended up taking far higher proportional losses when compared to the starfighter squadrons of the other clans and the [[Navy of the Iron Throne]].

=== Creation ===
Upon ascending to the leadership of Arcona following the war and the death of [[Zandro Savric Erinos]], newly appointed [[Consul]] [[Wuntila|Wuntila Entar Arconae]] began to examine any shortcomings to be found in the clan’s admittedly impressive performance during the battle. The loss ratios among the starfighter corps were a glaring stain on an altogether excellent campaign, and Wuntila set about correcting it. The acquisition of a full squadron of StealthX fighters gave him the tools with which to do so, and so he formed Void Squadron around them. The StealthX’s requirements for Force trained pilots also enabled him to ensure that the vanguard of the Arcona Starfighter Corps would once again be Dark Jedi. His choice to lead the new squadron was the [[Sith]] [[Solus Gar]].

The squadron was to recruit only the best, or those that had it within them to be the best, in order to become in space what [[Soulfire Strike Team|Soulfire]] was on the ground. The training within the squadron would be second to none in the whole of the Brotherhood for the pilots assigned to it, but also for those throughout the rest of the Arcona Starfighter Corps. The clan leadership felt it was not merely enough to have one elite squadron, so they instead decreed that Void would be the exemplar for the other squadrons. In addition to their own training and operational responsibilities, Void was tasked with developing new and innovative starfighter tactics for use by all of the Clan squadrons as well as direct training with and against their fellow pilots.

=== Chiss Conflict ===

Void Squadron's first major conflict turned out to be within a few weeks of its formation. Whilst under the command of the Mandalorian [[Kalon Dane]], a routine recon mission located a [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] outpost on [[starwars:Ebaq 9|Ebaq 9]]. The force discovered was large enough that Void were ordered straight to the Arcona Citadel. The mission ahead was titled Operation: Rolling Thunder.

Void's role in the Operation was to lead the assault against the assembled Chiss starfighters. [[Invictus]], the [[Quaestor]] of [[Qel-Droma]], accompanied the squadron for this mission. The first task Void accomplished, however, was to use their special 'Shadow' Bombs on the Chiss' orbital defence platform. Immediately Void was set upon by the Chiss fighters when an entire wing of Clawcraft engaged the Arconan pilots. The superiority both in technology and pilot skill within the forces of Void Squadron soon proved to be enough even against such odds, and the Clawcraft wing began to lose numbers rapidly, mostly thanks to [[Andrelious J. Inahj]], who killed nearly an entire squadron (12 ships) on his own.

After the initial onslaught was defeated, other units, such as [[Soulfire]], completed their own missions. Soulfire, as was common, proved invaluable to the Arconan summit. However, Void was beginning to prove its worth.

=== Dark Crusade ===

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Void Squadron undertook a variety of assignments ranging from reconnaissance to air assaults and to acting as escorts for high priority vessels. At [[Krayiss II - Arcona|Krayiss II]] the Squadron engaged the One Sith’s fleet during most of the conflict, their efforts allowing many Arconan troops and supplies to reach the planet intact. Although [[House Taldryan]] won the rights to govern Krayiss II, Void Squadron had been instrumental for the entire [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] victory upon the planet.
[[file:voidsquadronhelps.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Void Squadron performing bombing runs upon the surface of Rhelg.]]
When the Arconan Fleet reached their next planet, Void were briefed more extensively than usual. Now not only were they fighting in orbit, but they would also take part in strategic attacks against the One Sith’s key positions planetside. The Squadron were the first Arconan units to take part in the space battle above [[Rhelg - Arcona|Rhelg]], each pilot working in perfect unison with one another to eliminate wave after wave of hostile resistance without suffering a single casualty. They were also the first to streak into the planet’s frozen atmosphere, their assignment now switching to bombing One Sith targets, just like they were briefed beforehand. Void were quick and ruthless in their attacks, never once losing the element of surprise upon the planet’s defenders. By the time all the targets had been neutralized, Void Squadron had emerged successful in their mission once again, the efforts of the experienced pilots allowing the Arconan forces to land unhindered and begin the bloody assault on the ground.

==Tactics==
===Formation===

[[file:four_finger_formation.png|left|thumb|175px|Void's four finger formation.]]Void Squadron operates using three finger four formations, also known as the four-finger formation. This consists of a flight of four aircraft, composed of a "lead element" and a "second element", each of two aircraft. When viewing the formation from above, the positions of the starfighters resemble the tips of the four fingers of a human right hand (without the thumb), giving the formation its name.

The lead element is made up of the flight leader at the very front of the formation and one wingman to his rear left. The second element is made up of an additional two planes, the element leader and his wingman. The element leader is to the right and rear of the flight leader, followed by the element wingman to his right and rear.

Both the flight leader and element leader have offensive roles in that they are the ones to open fire on enemy craft while the flight remains intact. Their wingmen have a defensive role — the flight wingman covers the rear of the second element and the element wingman covers the rear of the lead element. Three of these flights assemble to form a squadron formation which consists of one staggered line of fighters in a line echelon arrangement.

Void Squadron operates with slightly more flexibility in their formations, and the starfighters in each flight have greater vertical and horizontal separation than the standard formations used by Arconan forces. This leaves them free to scan in all directions for enemy craft rather than focusing on maintaining a close formation. As a result, the pilots are able to maintain greater situational awareness and reduce the chance of being spotted by the enemy due to the looser formation, since even a StealthX is not one hundred percent invisible. The two flight elements can split up at any time and attack on their own. The pair leader would attack enemy craft, leaving his wingman to scan for threats and protect him while he engaged the enemy. However, greater flexibility is afforded to Void Squadron by allowing the pilot who spotted the enemy to become the leader of the pair or even the whole flight for the duration of the attack as that pilot would have the best situational awareness at that moment in time.

===Operation===

Void's specialisation evolved into the implementation of hit-and-run tactics to compliment their stealth capability. As StealthX fighters are not suited to taking and holding objectives, those roles undertaken by craft adapted for the role, the pilots of Void seek to cripple enemies as quickly as possible before moving off, undetected. This also serves to demoralise the enemy, as their defences are shattered by mystery attackers.

Such action is normally achieved by Void being deployed well ahead of engagement, moving into the battle zone on sublight engines, stealth allowing them to avoid detection. As key targets are identified, pilots begin attack runs with all the weapons Void can bring to bear, unleashing a whithering hail of fire, destroying targets, then speeding out of the engagement zone before they can be detected in the confusion. In this situation, the pairings of fighters, one as spotter, one as striker, becomes key to success.

==Equipment==
Void Squadron is assigned twenty-four starfighters, twelve StealthXs and twelve XJ X-Wings. The StealthX fighters are only operated by the Dark Jedi assigned to the unit while the standard X-Wings are assigned to regular pilots forming the second part of the squadron. Void's non-Jedi element originally used TIE Interceptors, but Arcona lost nearly all Interceptors during the [[Horizons]] incident.

===StealthX===
[[File:StealthX.jpg|175px|thumb|The StealthX starfighter]]The StealthX was smaller than the XJ-series [[starwars:T-65 X-wing starfighter|X-wing]]. It featured equipment that hid the craft both visually and tactically, though the craft's position was given away if [[starwars:proton torpedo|proton torpedo]]es were used or if the [[starwars:pilot|pilot]] broadcasted over the [[starwars:comlink|comlink]]. The StealthX was used exclusively by [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]], as the restrictions on comm usage made it nearly impossible for anyone other than a Jedi to coordinate with other forces.

A modification of the already formidable [[starwars:T-65XJ3 X-wing starfighter|T-65XJ3 X-wing starfighter]], the StealthX had a star-flecked body of irregular, matte-black [[starwars:fiberplast|fiberplast]] that rendered it almost invisible against a background of [[starwars:star|star]]s. The third torpedo launcher had been replaced by a [[starwars:gravitic modulator|gravitic modulator]] designed to defeat [[starwars:mass-detector|mass-detector]]s, and its shields had been downgraded to make room for a suite of [[starwars:sensor|sensor]] negators. Even its fusial engines had been retooled to burn a special [[starwars:tibanna|tibanna]] isotope, designated [[starwars:Tibanna|TibannaX]], whose efflux turned dark a millisecond after fusion. The viewports utilized [[starwars:blast-tinting|blast-tinting]] technology.

Void Squadron usually replaces the standard proton torpedoes with custom-made [[starwars:Jedi shadow bomb|Jedi shadow bomb]]s. In addition, their StealthXs can also carry [[starwars:glop bomb|glop bomb]]s, which released a quick-hardening foam upon detonation, and two-stage armor-piercing [[starwars:bunker-buster bomb|bunker-buster bomb]]s. Advanced [[starwars:R9-series astromech droid|R9-series astromech droid]]s are assigned to assist the pilots with the special requirements of this unique craft.

=== XJ X-Wing ===
[[File:XJwing.jpg|175px|left|thumb|An XJ X-Wing]] The XJ series boasted increased shield capacity, better maneuverability, and a higher sublight acceleration. The starfighter's weapons carried an increased charge and better targeting computers, making the craft a formidable enemy of the foes of the New Republic. Additionally, a third proton torpedo launcher was added to up the fighter's payload to 9 torpedoes total.

The XJ model of Incom's incredibly successful X-wing series was one of the more recent versions of the venerable starfighter. When the war against the Yuuzhan Vong started, these models were rarely seen outside of the New Jedi Order and Star Destroyer squadrons.

===Hydra slugthrower===
[[File:Hydra pistol.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Hydra slugthrower pistol]]

Even the best pilots get shot down. As such, a firearm is needed for self-defence in the case of a crash. Based off a heavily modified [[starwars:SH-9 slughthrower|SH-9 Slugthrower]], the weapon features standard rounds, but has an underslung chamber for a single special round. These can be explosive, web rounds, cryoban rounds, dummy, birdshot, incendiary, a stun round, EMP round, or a devastating .50 calibre round. The bottom chamber is muzzle-loaded, and fired by flicking a mode switch. Normally, two rounds of each type are kept in the survival kit for downed pilots. Of course, each pilot is different, carrying varying amounts of ammo in their survival kits according to preference.

===Survival kit===
Upon a crash landing, a pilot needs supplies to make it through the time they are downed. It contains the Hydra, along with spare rounds and specialised rounds for the underslung launcher. There are also ration packs, along with rope and a ground sheet for a basic shelter. A small medkit is supplied for any wounds. Equipment to start fires in any weather is provided for warmth and cooking. A signal beacon can be used to call in search parties once they have been sent.

===Uniform===
[[File:KalonVoid.jpg|100px|thumb|right|Void uniform]]

The Void Pilot uniform is based off the TIE corps uniform, with a few cosmetic changes, namely the symbols of the Galactic Empire replaced with those of Void Squadron. The Pilot's call sign is shown on the chest plate. Service studs line the right brow of the helmet. The suit is fully enclosed, able to protect the wearer from the vacuum of space, in case of hull penetration, or ejection into space.

== Former Equipment ==

===TIE/In Interceptor===
[[File:TIEI.jpg|175px|left|thumb|A TIE/In interceptor.]]Like most TIEs, the TIE Interceptor shared nearly identical cockpits, drive pods, and wing brace design with the TIE Fighter. The solar collector panels were lengthened and angled, and the forward center section was removed. This new solar array design gave the Interceptor its unmistakable dagger-like appearance, while providing the [[starwars:pilot|pilot]] with increased visibility and shrinking its profile, making targeting more frustrating for enemy [[starwars:gunner|gunner]]s. This wing design gave the craft a more menacing visage, continuing the Empire's reputation of ruling through fear.

The original production model came standard with four [[starwars:L-s9.3 laser cannon|L-s9.3 laser canno]]s installed on each wingtip. New targeting software was among other advancements installed in the TIE Interceptor; the [[starwars:Sienar Fleet Systems|SFS]] [[starwars:T-s9a targeting computer|T-s9a targeting computer]] offered greater accuracy during complex flight maneuvers. The TIE Interceptor fielded [[starwars:P-s5.6 twin ion engine|P-s5.6 twin ion engine]]s. These new engines included an advanced ion-stream projector, thus allowing pilots access to more sophisticated combat maneuvers. Twin-port deflectors supported this feat by allowing the pilot individual manipulation of the deflectors, thus providing finer flight control. These advancements in engine technology made the TIE Interceptor a superior platform in space combat, achieving speeds beyond all other Alliance starfighters short of the A-wing.

The TIE Interceptor's primary role was as its title suggested. Like its predecessors, the Interceptor lacked heavier armor, deflector shields, a hyperdrive, and [[starwars:life support|life support]] systems. Interceptor pilots were forced to rely on speed, maneuverability, superior numbers, and advanced weapon systems to prevail in its primary role of space superiority. With no hyperdrive, the TIE Interceptor was reliant on a [[starwars:capital ship|capital ship]] for an operations base. [[starwars:Star Destroyer|Star Destroyer]]s and prominent [[starwars:shipyard|shipyard]]s such as [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and [[starwars:Fondor|Fondor]] were common place for Interceptor squadrons; however, smaller vessels and more remote locations had to rely on aging TIE/ln fighters.

TIE Interceptors have powerful solar ionization reactors, which is exactly the same model used in the [[starwars:TIE Avenger|TIE Avenger]], that can handle the special equipment mounted in them including deflector shields, beam weapons like special beam jammers, decoy beams, hyperdrives, and extra missile racks for increased warhead payload.

==Squadron Organization==
The squadron is organized into three flights, each named after the first three letters in the [[starwars:Common Sith|Common Sith]] alphabet.

===The Pinions===

[[File:The Wings.png|thumb|The Pinions]]

The Pinions are given for pilots who have shown great skill and valour in service to the Brotherhood. The Pinions are a sign of an elite within an elite. Only a handful of Void’s pilots wear the award, such is its status.

The Pinions are awarded to members of Void that have shown accomplishment within Void, given at the discretion of the Commander.

'''Recipients:'''
*[[Nadrin Erinos Arconae]]
*[[Nikola Valtiere]]
*[[Andrelious J. Inahj]]

===Service Studs===

[[File:Service stud.png|200px|thumb|Standard stud]]

On a Void Pilot’s helmet is a series of small, red studs. Each stud is a sign of a battle won, a struggle overcome. Some of Void Squadron’s older members have a full strip of studs on either side of the central crest.

Service studs are given for participation. By participating in half the competitions in an event, one stud is awarded. If all the competitions are participated in, then two studs are given. If you place in a non team DB-wide event, you have the opportunity for the stud to be ringed in the colour of your placing.

'''Vladet Taldrya Xavier''' is a Dark Jedi and former Imperial officer and pilot who currently serves [[Taldryan|Clan '''Taldryan''']] in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. After twelve years of Imperial service he was expelled from the [[Emperor's Hammer]], an Imperial military faction in the Minos Cluster, for treason which resulted in a year of mercenary work where he discovered his rudimentary Force skills while engaged in combat against the New Republic military. He joined the Brotherhood to develop and expand his growing '''powers''', although Vladet does not follow any particular Force philosophy; he views the Force as merely a tool which can be used to accomplish goals and objectives. He has served in various Brotherhood command positions including stints as the Right Hand of Justice, Aedile, and most recently is the longest serving Quaestor in Clan '''Taldryan''' history, a position he held for nearly four years before retiring in 31 ABY to take a break from the pressures of command.

== Character History ==

=== Early Life ===
''1 BBY to 15 ABY''

Vladet Xavier was born into an upper-middle-class family in [[starwars:Nashal|Nashal]], Talus. His father, Captain Benedict Xavier was a distinguished Imperial Naval Pilot who flew numerous missions for the [[starwars:Old Republic|Old Republic]] and later the Galactic Empire. Benedict was one of the few TIE Bomber pilots who successfully flew more than ten combat missions without being killed - he was later one of the first test pilots for the [[starwars:Assault Gunboat|Assault Gunboat]]. Vladet's mother was Lieutenant Natalie Xavier, a nurse in the Imperial Medical Corps. The two met when Benedict took a leave on the planet of Talus and they have been together ever since.

There was little doubt what Vladet would be doing in his life, having been trained in the Imperial Military way of life from as long as he could walk. Having access to military flight simulators from age six, he quickly perfected his flying skills. The local [[starwars:Corellian Security Force|Corellian Sector Police]] (CorSec) unit even allowed Vladet to fly one of their Z-95 Headhunters on rare occasions, with the unit Commander being very impressed with young Vladet's natural skills. After two years of training in CorSec simulators the security force was dissolved and became the [[starwars:Public Safety Service Public|Safety Service]] which limited the time Vladet could train as the PSS was more interested in snooping than solving crimes. Vladet would not lose his piloting skills, however, and continued to train when he could until he was ready to graduate from school.

Vladet applied to the Imperial Naval Academy on [[starwars:Prefsbelt IV Naval Academy|Prefsbelt IV]] in 15 ABY when he turned seventeen years old. Due to his parents' backgrounds he was admitted without question and accepted to the Academy's two year plan which would allow him to earn a degree - Vladet's course of study would allow him to bypass the almost suicidal path of a standard TIE Fighter pilot.

=== Prefsbelt IV and the Outer Rim ===
''15 ABY to 18 ABY''

[[File:Prefsbelt iv.jpg|thumb|228px|left|Vladet and other Cadets training at the Naval Academy on Prefsbelt IV.]]Vladet found life at the Imperial Naval Academy fascinating and exciting. He had been training on military flight simulators for many years but Vlad also found he had a passion for political debate as well. During his two years at the Academy he spent his time training in a large variety of TIE starfighters and other ships including transports, freighters, and even some Rebel and pirate starfighters. In addition he received officer, leadership, marksmanship, and self-defense training. After two years he graduated with a degree in Imperial Government and Politics and was eligible to serve as an officer aboard an Imperial Star Destroyer. Vladet's passion for flying remained strong during his two years at the Academy and he requested a position in the Imperial Navy's Special Operations division. Due to his record and training, he was assigned to the Nebulan B Frigate ''Fury'' as a Lieutenant Commander.
The ''Fury's'' mission was to infiltrate pirate groups in the Outer Rim and break them up before they could become a threat to the Empire. This was accomplished with the ''Fury's'' two squadrons of starfighters which posed as pirates wanting to join the various criminal organizations located within the [[starwars:Outer Rim|Outer Rim]]. Vladet flew as a Squadron Commander for the T-Wing squadron although he was considered a Wing Commander of the ''Fury's'' starfighter compliment which also included an R-41 Starchaser squadron. For over two years Vladet and his fellow "pirates" broke up dozens of criminal gangs and engaged with various New Republic reconnaissance forces who were probing the area.

While the ''Fury'' was keeping the Outer Rim as secure as possible the Galactic Empire began a number of changes. Following the Corellian Insurrection the New Republic continued to expand its territory while the Empire began to lose ground in the war - Vladet never saw much actual combat against the New Republic save for a few short skirmishes against New Republic patrols. Eventually the ''Fury'' was recalled back to the main Imperial fleet which was now under the command of Admiral Daala although most officers recognized Gilad Pellaeon as the true leader of the Imperial Remnant. Daala thought there was little need for valuable assets to be wasted in the Outer Rim so the ''Fury'' was reassigned to escort Daala's flagship while Vladet was transferred to the position of Flight Leader in a TIE Interceptor squadron based on an Interdictor Cruiser.

=== In Service of the Remnant ===
''18 ABY to 21 ABY''

Vladet was assigned as a Flight Leader in the 218th TIE Interceptor "Talon" Squadron stationed aboard the Interdictor Cruiser ''Stellar Web.'' Immediately following his assignment he was flown to his new ship to start his first Tour of Duty with the Imperial Navy proper. While Vlad thought the Empire was heading in the wrong direction he was nevertheless loyal to the Supreme Commander. Thankfully Daala gave the reigns of the Remnant to Pellaeon which improved things, at least for a while. Pellaeon was well respected throughout the fleet due to his strong loyalty to the military and the vast experience he gained while serving as Grand Admiral Thrawn's second-in-command.

[[File:Stellar Web.jpg|thumb|180px|right|The Interdictor Cruiser ''Stellar Web'' pulling a New Republic reconnaissance group out of hyperspace near Remnant space.]]Vladet's first major combat engagement against the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]] was nine days later when the ''Stellar Web'' was assigned along with the Imperial Star Destroyer ''Death's Hand'' to trap and destroy a New Republic convoy. While the convoy was successfully destroyed, Vlad's squadron commander was killed in the battle. Due to his impressive amount of kills in the skirmish, he was given command of Talon Squadron and over the next few months the ''Stellar Web'' was deployed in more and more combat engagements against New Republic forces. Vladet was very happy with his new job and was quite pleased when the captain of the ''Stellar Web'' promoted him to the full Naval rank of Commander. As the Imperial war machine rolled along, Vladet realized he had found his niche.
Over the next three years Vladet flew for the Imperial Navy in a variety of different roles - following the promotion of Admiral Pellaeon and the retreat of the Imperial fleet from the Core, Vladet participated in many small to moderate skirmishes between New Republic and Imperial forces. As the [[starwars:Imperial Remnant|Imperial Remnant]] fled further from Coruscant, the number of battles decreased significantly. The ''Stellar Web'' saw more combat than any other Interdictor Cruiser in the fleet as it was often paired with Pellaeon's ''Chimaera'' in trapping missions of New Republic reconnaissance forces. During one battle the ''Stellar Web'' suffered major damage from a barrage of enemy proton torpedoes. The Cruiser was sent to a repair yard and Vladet's squadron was transferred to the Imperial Star Destroyer ''Judicator''.

After several dozen combat skirmishes against the New Republic Vladet finally earned a promotion to the position of Wing Commander and the rank of naval Captain. The ''Judicator'', under command of captain Brandei, was regulated to convoy escort which did not sit well with Vladet. Pellaeon was a great Supreme Commander but the Admiral seemed to try and avoid combat wherever possible instead of hitting weaker targets and trying to expand the Remnant back into the Galactic Empire. A year passed and one day the entire Remnant was shocked when it had discovered Fleet Admiral Pellaeon would be signing a treaty with the New Republic to cease hostilities. While the [[starwars:Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty|Pellaeon-Gavrison Treaty]] did not outline any surrender Vladet felt it would be the final nail in the Remnant's coffin. More and more worlds flocked to the banner of the New Republic while the Remnant was left with a relatively small amount of territory ruled by an ignorant Council of Moffs. This was the final straw for Vladet who resigned his commission in disgust and began looking for his own way to take on the New Republic.

Several Imperial Warlords were always looking for experienced officers and soldiers, but Vladet did not find any he thought could accomplish their goals of overthrowing the New Republic. It was a few months later when he ran into a handful of on-leave Imperial pilots in a bar on the planet of Stornial. They belonged to the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps, based off on Aurora Prime in the Outer Rim. Vlad had heard offhand that they had possessed a ''Sovereign''-class Star Destroyer and with their growing numbers and constant engagements with New Republic forces, he figured they were worth joining. He accompanied the pilots back to Aurora Prime where he officially joined the Emperor's Hammer.

=== The Emperor's Hammer ===
''21 ABY to 26 ABY''

[[File:Vlad2.jpg|thumb|224px|left|Vladet flew an Assault Gunboat for the majority of his career in the Emperor's Hammer.]]Even though he had to take a rank demotion from Imperial Navy Captain to EH Lieutenant, Vladet was reasonably happy with his conditions. He served in the Emperor's Hammer for nearly four years holding a wide variety of positions. He was first assigned to Wing XIII's Valkyrie Squadron, stationed aboard the Imperial Star Destroyer ''Grey Wolf''. As a Flight Member there he quickly proved himself by piloting an Assault Gunboat in many combat missions, keeping the New Republic out of Emperor's Hammer space. Vladet was promoted up to the position of Flight Leader in Odin Squadron in Wing XIII before being given command of Crusader Squadron. He served as Crusader Squadron Commander for well over a year and got promoted up to the EH Naval rank of Lieutenant Colonel. After stepping down as Squadron Commander, he served a brief stint in the elite Avenger Squadron before receiving a huge promotion to the Emperor's Hammer Command Staff.
Vladet was promoted to the position of fleet Security Officer (CS-9) and the rank of Rear Admiral. He served as the Security Officer for nearly a year during which time he introduced many new reforms into the fleet such as creating the new position of Judge Advocate General (JAG) and updating the EH Codes of Conduct, among other things. Near the end of his tenure as Security Officer, Vlad was promoted up to the prestigious Emperor's Hammer rank of Fleet Admiral although it didn't mean much to him by that time. In his high position he noticed the Emperor's Hammer was falling apart. The final straw was when his close friend and mentor Sector Admiral Khameir Sarin was dismissed as the fleet's Executive Officer. Vladet resigned his position shortly after and returned to the line ranks as a Colonel, trying to re-discover the thrill of combat. After a brief command hiatus he was chosen to become the next Wing XIII Commander aboard his old ship the ISD ''Grey Wolf''. His command did not last long.

He received a holonet transmission from another old friend, Khadgar, who was starting up a new Imperial remnant on the planet of Archoron. With the Emperor's Hammer disgusting him more each day, Vladet lent his expertise and some personal resources to help the new Imperial Dominion start up. While he knew "Grand Admiral" Astatine was driving the EH into nothing, Vlad was loyal to the ''Grey Wolf'' in which he had served on for all of his EH career (with the exception of his stint as Security Officer, although he visited the ''Grey Wolf'' frequently) and was eager to bring the ship back to its former glory. He decided he could still serve "The Home of Legends" while lending support to his friends and their new Imperial organization which would work to take on the New Republic.

[[File:ISD II.jpg|thumb|180px|right|The ''Imperial II''-class Star Destroyer ''Grey Wolf'' served as Vladet's home in the Emperor's Hammer for the vast majority of his career there. It was the most active and dedicated ship in the Hammer's fleet before it was decommissioned following Vladet's expulsion.]]The Imperial Dominion's infrastructure was about halfway complete when news of the new Imperial group reached the ears of Grand Admiral Astatine. The Imperial officers involved in the setup of the Dominion knew they could face expulsion from the Emperor's Hammer for this, given Astatine's unbalanced behavior, but Vladet still carried on with his new Wing Commander responsibilities. The night before he could give an opening address to his Wing, Vladet was in the officer's bar and lounge of the ''Grey Wolf'' with his good friend Joey C, who happened to be the newly appointed Commodore of the Star Destroyer. After several rounds Vlad received an urgent message from some of his contacts around the fleet. During his tenure as Security Officer, Vladet had built up a very large information network inside and outside of the fleet. His contact within the Command Staff offices aboard the SSSD Sovereign had alerted him that Astatine had just issued an order to the Intelligence Division and Internal Security Bureau to remove all fleet access for about a dozen individuals all connected with the new Imperial Dominion. Joey and Vlad knew their time was over in the Emperor's Hammer and immediately started following their emergency contingency plans to escape EH territory. After a farewell shot at the bar they immediately gathered their personal belongings and fled the Aurora system in their personal transports. One hour later, EH internal security moved in on the ship and created a lock down. The ''Grey Wolf'' and many other ships around the fleet would not recover from this mass expulsion and were decommissioned shortly after.
Vladet traveled to the Archoron system where the Imperial Dominion was being established but his stay there would be limited. Over the next several months Vladet trained in ground combat and leadership tactics in order to lead special operation units against the New Republic and was commissioned as a Field Marshal in the Dominion Army. While he would take the "mere" rank of Captain in the Imperial Navy proper over what was really an over inflated warlord rank, the Imperial Remnant was still adamant of avoiding confrontation with the New Republic. Vladet's tenure in the Dominion was short lived, however, when several months after joining he returned to Archoron after a covert mission against a New Republic supply facility. Shortly after landing a large detachment of the New Republic Navy dropped out of hyperspace above the planet and began to entrap the Dominion forces. While the Dominion was led by some of the most experienced military officers in the sector, the infrastructure of the organization was not fully running yet and there were still some staffing difficulties. The Dominion forces tried to beat back the Republic forces but it was no use as the strength of the Republic Navy and the surprise of their attack overpowered the frantic Dominion military. All Vladet could do was take to the skies in an Assault Gunboat and unload his warheads before escaping from the Archoron system and the complete and utter destruction of the Imperial Dominion, of which only a few dozen out of thousands survived or were not taken prisoner.

=== Sword of the Empire ===
''26 ABY to Present''

Completely distraught, Vladet felt, for the first time in his life, that he had no purpose. The New Republic was expanding throughout the known galaxy and every trace of the old Empire was beginning to fade away. He was a military man through and through and he even briefly considered defecting to the New Republic thinking that serving in a proper military was better than nothing at all. While the idea had merit he severely doubted the Republic would welcome him with open arms - Imperial defectors were always welcomed in the days of the Rebel Alliance but now that the rebels had turned into a legitimate government it would be much more difficult to be accepted within their ranks, especially with all of the New Republic pilots he had killed in combat. Vladet decided to try mercenary work for a while, earning credits and striking against the New Republic whenever he could. While most of his work involved battling with brigands and pirates, he was able to strike at weak targets - mostly supply depots - to help further the true Imperial cause.

During one particular mission he was engaged in a firefight with New Republic troops near an intelligence outpost he was supposed to destroy. Vladet was always proficient with blaster weapons despite rarely using them for some reason but this battle seemed different to him. His accuracy was so high that within twenty minutes he had eliminated an entire platoon of soldiers while barely suffering shield damage. A month after the intelligence outpost was eliminated he ran into a very old friend, Khamier Sarin. He had not seen Sarin for over a year although he later learned their meeting was no accident. Sarin had detected his rising Force sensitivity and offered him a position in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which he was the Deputy Grand Master. With little else to lose he followed Sarin back to Antei and began his training to help further his '''powers''' so that one day he could be a true asset in returning the Empire to its proper place in the galaxy.

He was first assigned to [[House Exar Kun]] in [[Clan Plagueis]] where he developed his initial '''powers'''. In Plagueis he concentrated on studying the ancient texts of the Brotherhood and slowly developed as a Dark Jedi. Shortly into his training, Vladet became bored with his superiors and fellow Jedi, claiming them to be "inferior." With the Rite of Supremacy approaching, Vladet knew he could not prove himself if he were to remain with Clan Plagueis. Using his contacts he managed to transfer into the elite [[Taldryan|Clan '''Taldryan''']] the day before the Rite started.

Vlad quickly showed his worth to '''Taldryan''', amassing a large amount of honor and points for his new Clan. Following his impressive performance in the [[Rite of Supremacy]], he was promoted to [[Aedile]] and eventually [[Envoy]] of House Dinaari. He did not have time to enjoy his promotions due to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the Antei system. While he was now a leader of the [[Clan]], Vladet felt his skills as a starfighter pilot would better serve '''Taldryan''' during the war. He led numerous squadrons into battle against the Vong (and eventually other Clans as well), piloting a shielded TIE Interceptor. While the war only lasted about a week, Vlad earned his promotion to the prestigious rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]] and was able to finish building his personal lightsaber. It wasn't too long after being Knighted that Vlad was also elected to serve as a Magistrate to Grand Master Sarin.

Despite the best efforts of '''Taldryan''', who was easily the most powerful and successful Clan during the war, the Yuuzhan Vong were able to capture the Brotherhood stronghold of Antei and drive the remaining forces of the Brotherhood into retreat. During Taldryan's fleet consolidation, Dinaari's [[Quaestor]], Sithspawn "Ziggy" Taldrya, resigned from his position. Rising to the position of Dinaari Quaestor, Vladet continued to serve '''Taldryan''' while concentrating on his studies in order to further advance his '''powers''' for the Imperial cause, passing into the ranks of the Equites shortly after Taldryan's withdrawal from Brotherhood controlled space. After serving as a leader of House Dinaari for an extended period of time he was accepted as the Right Hand of Justice in the [[Chamber of Justice]]; he served in this position for a year, prosecuting criminal activities within the Brotherhood.

While '''Taldryan''' was consolidating its power in the Kr'tal system, a group of ex-Peace Brigade personnel led by Admiral Jesec Dirium invaded the [[Rybanloth System]] to try and recover a power Jedi artifact. Vladet, now Quaestor of Dinaari for two years, personally led Taldryan's starfighters into battle against the well-equipped pirate force. Piloting a TIE Defender in Dagger Squadron, Vladet scored a handful of kills in the engagement while protecting Taldryan's cruisers from enemy torpedoes. Clan '''Taldryan''' emerged victorious after a long battle, suffering minimal casualties. The pirate forces were completely destroyed save for Jesec Dirium; the pirate leader was captured and interrogated for information. Following the Battle of Rybanloth, Vladet was promoted to the rank of Obelisk Prelate for his leadership and combat prowess. Following the short war with Dirium's pirates Vladet focused on preparing his House and Clan '''Taldryan''' for the upcoming war with the Yuuzhan Vong as the Brotherhood would no doubt attempt to retake Antei. As '''Taldryan''' and the rest of the Brotherhood began preparations for [[Ninth Great Jedi War|total war]], Vlad began resigning himself for one last glorious battle before he retired from active leadership, having held the position of Quaestor in '''Taldryan''' longer than any other member. During the campaign to retake Antei Vladet initially led the starfighters of '''Taldryan''' in securing space for the Brotherhood and later led multiple campaigns on the ground, heading up Jedi strike forces deep into enemy territory. Near the end of the war against the enemy Jedi he flew a TIE Defender near the Dark Hall on Antei in order to finish off any remaining enemy forces during the final battle. Following the war he returned to the '''Taldryan''' flagship in order to finish up his final paperwork. Two weeks after the Brotherhood claimed victory on Antei, Vladet resigned from Quaestor of House Dinaari in order to take a break from leadership in the Clan. For his efforts as Quaestor and as a leader during the retaking of Antei, he was awarded a Sapphire Blade and given a promotion to the rank of Obelisk Exarch. He now serves a regular member of the Clan, eager to advance Taldryan's interests in the galaxy.

== Character Information ==

=== Physical Appearance ===
Vladet is a fairly lightweight and tall Human with blue eyes. He used to wear his black hair very short until he joined the [[Emperor's Hammer]] where he let it grow out a little. Having grown up in an Imperial family and serving in the military for a long time he prefers to wear uniforms with a slight military flair. He does not like wearing long robes or any excessive amount of clothing, so unless it has a paramilitary look Vlad will most likely not wear it unless absolutely necessary (i.e. formal occasions). In addition to the lightsaber hanging from his utility belt, the former pilot always has a light blaster pistol near his right hip and a vibroblade tucked into his right boot.

=== Personality and Traits ===
Cold and calculating is what most members in '''Taldryan''' would describe Vlad as. Most people who have served with him have rarely seen him smile although once he is off duty he is far more relaxed. While working Vladet demands the best and can seem socially distant although this depends on who he is around. He also walks with military precision in public, although he relaxes this practice in private, especially among his peers. An interesting note is that Vlad does not really like Jedi, Dark or Light. He sees the Force as a tool that can be used to achieve various things, good or bad. Many years of military service have made Vlad perhaps one of the most rigid and disciplined Jedi to be in the Brotherhood, although his military nature has slackened a bit over the years. Strategy and precision is what he relies on, rather than emotion and raw power like most Dark Jedi. The Force, while a useful tool, is ''just'' a tool and nothing more. Vladet does not believe in the dependency of any one thing for eventually it will be exploited, just like the Yuuzhan Vong exploited the Brotherhood's reliance on the Force during their invasion of Antei.

=== Abilities ===
Unlike a lot of Dark Jedi, Vladet does not spend a lot of time developing his muscles and physical strength. Despite his training as an Obelisk ground warrior, Vladet prefers a support role in combat such as healing, enhancing his allies' abilities, or using the Force to enhance his skills with light arms. While the former Imperial officer works hard developing his lightsaber and Force power skills, he still prefers the thrill of flying starfighters over fighting with his hands and lightsaber. Since discovering his connection to the Force he has happily integrated his new found Force abilities with his expert piloting skills. Aside from being trained in almost all types of starfighters, Vladet is also certified to pilot most light transports and freighters, and has sufficient skill in capital ship warfare to command a battle in a pinch.

The character of Vladet Xavier was originally created in 2002 and has undergone many different changes over the years. It took a while for the author to come up with a suitable name for the character, which originally was "Vladimir" - however, after much contemplation it was changed to "Vladet" in order to be more unique (Vladet is pronounced "Vla-debt"). While the character has changed multiple times in order to accompany the different online organizations the author has belonged to, Vladet was always a career Imperial officer and pilot who ended up in the Emperor's Hammer. After being expelled from the EH for "treason" the character joined the Bounty Hunter's Guild (a subgroup that had split from the EH earlier) but the BHG was dissolved a year or so later. After joining the DJB the character was discovered to be Force sensitive while on a hunt but this part of the character's history was deleted as the author found Bounty Hunter/Jedi hybrids cliché, overused, and boring. Vladet's years in the BHG were fictionally replaced by a brief mercenary stunt in order to make the transition to the Brotherhood.

'''Tyren Atema''' was the second son of two Jedi, born in 1. year BBY, five years before the destruction of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]]. He was once a thug, bounty hunter and businessman with shady goals and loyalties, but in his later years he had devoted his life fully to the teachings of the Force. He had never claimed his true place in the world; his mind torn between his tortured and anger-filled past and his revelation that there is something more important than his own ego and lust for power – the Force itself. Tyren Atema died in 37 ABY, during the Dark Crusade against the One Sith

== Early life ==

=== Dantooine 19 BBY-3 ABY ===
==== The Atema family ====
{{Quote|This is our home. This is the new beginning we dreamt of for a long time.|Ashira Atema}}

Two Jedi knights, Jerreth Atema and Ashira Islana survived the „Order 66“ massacre and the insuing Great Jedi Purge.
Years after the Emperor’s rise they met on a transport ship en route to planet Dantooine where supposedly a small community of Jedi hid from the Emperor’s wrath.

When they came to Dantooine they found the enclave in ruins, dozens of Jedi slaughtered with but a few survivors. In the midst of the carnage they stood tall and held on to each other for strength.

Eventually falling in love they wowed to rebuild the enclave and open its doors to other refugees and Jedi. With the help of a CorSec agent, a Republic loyalist and Jedi admirer, who helped the enclave with supplies and machinery, they rebuilt it in some of the many caverns on the planet. It was meant to be a safe haven for those that fled the Empire thus it was given a humble name, “Sanctuary”.

After Sanctuary’s completion in the year 5 BBY Jerreth and Ashira married becoming a beacon of light and hope for the people in Sanctuary.

==== Birth of the twins ====
{{Quote|We are the last of the Jedi and our sons will carry that legacy...|Jerreth Atema, to his wife Ashira}}

Not long after the wedding, Ashira became pregnant. Nine months later she gave birth to two twin boys. Their coming to the galaxy was not only joyful for their parents but also for the whole Sanctuary.

Each boy was unique in the Force and promised to be great Jedi - their names, Ylith and Tyren Atema.

The two grew up in a peaceful and Force active society that Sanctuary offered.

==== Brothers undivided ====
{{Quote|Protect your brother, as he protects you.|Jerreth Atema, to Tyren}}

Ylith was older, very active, always in search of adventure and danger.
Tyren, the younger, was, however, very different from his older brother. He learned meditation at a very early age and thus was more active in views of the Force. He stood by his father mostly, staying in silence while Jerreth spoke of great Jedi deeds and the philosophy of good.

Very early in his life Tyren utilized his Force abilities to do minor tricks, like lifting small objects or creating sparks at will. That gave birth to a sort of jealousy in his brother’s eyes, but even that difference couldn’t keep them apart. The boys became best friends, inseparable, one adding to the other what the other did not have.

Their parents thought them the meaning of good and evil and how to evade evil as best they can. Though they tried to understand this they could not, so they continued their childish, sometimes evil games. Jerreth and Ashira both sensed the boys slight affinity toward the Dark Side of the Force. This worried them greatly since they wished to teach their children the ways of the Jedi.

Ylith was the one that mostly got into trouble, Tyren however was the troublemaker.
While he loved to make trouble happen to his older brother he was always there to help him out if the situation got out of hand.

Tyren’s intellect was his strong side. He dodged trouble rather than faced it. He had brains and his brother had brawns so they both grew up side by side, helping one another in times of need.
=== Coruscant 3 ABY – 23 ABY ===
==== A family in ruins ====
{{Quote|Mom? Why are you crying?|Tyren, seeing his mother in tears after the raid}}

Three years into the new era, after the devastating defeat of the Empire at Yavin, four years after the twins’ birth, Sanctuary was attacked. The Empire raided the enclave killing anyone they could, with no sufficient weapons to protect themselves the people of Sanctuary ran.

They tried to escape the planet on the same transport that brought Jerreth and Ashira to it years ago. Though the ship was sturdy and well built it could not stand the brutal attack fire from imperial TIE-fighters. It blew up just outside Dantooine’s atmosphere leaving a few escape pods in space. Hundreds died in the raid.

The Atema lived, however, but became separated in the chaos. Ylith was with his father while Ashira took Tyren.
The pod floated through space for days, left there by the Empire as a cruel fate – a slow death in the void. Some were taken by the Imperials, some however by pirates and raiders. But their fate would not be death, a smuggler hauled the pod Ashira and Tyren were in hopes of finding quick money. Upon finding the woman and her young son, he pulled out his blaster with an aim to kill. Ashira pulled out her saber and quickly dispatched the threat. They roamed the galaxy in the smuggler’s shipsearch of a place to hide.

They finally hid on Coruscant on one of the lower levels.

==== Life in the slums ====
[[File:391px-Anakin Skywalker Episode 1 Concept Art.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Tyren on Coruscant]]
{{Quote|I never knew Coruscant’s underbelly had so many people. They will never find us here...|Ashira, arriving on Coruscant}}

The worst place for a Jedi to go hide was Coruscant, every single Jedi in the galaxy knew that, Ashira however did just that. She fled to Coruscant with Tyren under her wing. They hid in the city slums below the shroud of smog. She was certain that being near the enemy would keep them out of harms way since the place had billions of inhabitants and finding one particular person was improbable. She was wrong.

In the year 6 ABY, after many years of hiding, they were finally found. A squad of storm troopers came into Ashira's and took her away never to be seen or heard from again. Of Tyren however they found no sign. He had run of against his mother’s knowledge to a friend’s home for a sleepover. Homeless, young and helpless he was taken in by Jatarra Dumash. Jatarra was a shop keeper in the slums, very well known to the populace. She watched over him and saw him grow up into a stunning young boy, albeit with extraordinary powers. She first found out about his Force manipulating abilities 8 years later, when Tyren was 14. He had spent a lot of his time in his room doing whatever it was that boys do in puberty, but that time she found him sitting still on his bead and several objects from his room floating around him. Tyren was startled and begged the woman not to tell anyone. When she asked why he did not show her before, he said that was the first time he tried. She promised to keep it a secret if he promised never to do it again.
Time passed and the Empire fell, leaving a weak republic in it wake. In the year 23 ABY, when Tyren was 24 years old, he could no longer deny or ignore his heritage and his powers. He said farewell to Jatarra, and promised to return once he had it all figured out. Having spent all his savings on a ticket, he took a commercial flight on a transport ship towards the Outer rim and Yavin, the academy of Jedi he had heard about. Even before they reached their destination, the transport was attacked by an unknown enemy. Tyren escaped with several others in life pods. As his life pod escaped the transport exploded throwing Tyren around and knocking him unconscious. He woke up three days later on the Sword's Sheath, in the Yridia system.

== History in The Dark Jedi Brotherhood ==
=== Tarentum 23 ABY-24 ABY ===
==== Gladius ====
{{Quote|Welcome to [[The Sword's Sheath]]| Frosty Romanae}}

During his stay in [[Gladius]], Tyren met the reality of his position. he would submit to their rule and do as he is told, or he would be dumped back into space. he had little choice.
Tyren was assigned to [[Dox Romanae]], then a Dark Jedi Knight, who's brutal regime of training left Tyren half-broken and struggling. even though he endured the punishments and training, once Tyren became a Guardian he left [[Tarentum]] and the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] for a year. This period in his life is now called "The Pilgrimage"

=== The Pilgrimage 25 ABY ===
{{Quote|Our way is not of light or of dark, these are but terms by which small men make excuses for their desires. We are balance.|The old man}}

During his time away from the Brotherhood and its affairs Tyren traveled the galaxy from the wasted of Tatooine to the home of the Witches of Dathomir. In the Brotherhood he was becoming reckless, disobedient and that did not please his masters. For that he left, to change.
Not long into his journey Tyren found the Old man on an out-of-the-way world in the Outer Rim, he was the last of a religion that preached the legend of a "great dragon", lord of the universe, who ruled all under his strong grip. The Old man praised this ancient deity and predicted Tyren would too.
Tyren found the Old man's religion very similar to the teaching of the Unifying force, endorsed by some Jedi in the golden years of the Republic. The "great dragon" was clearly a reference to the Force as a whole – a dominant power in the universe. He stayed with the Old man and learned from his wisdom till his death. With the Old man’s death, Tyren had nothing to look for on the planet, he left and returned to the Brotherhood.

=== Plagueis 26 ABY ===
{{Quote|You will die at my side if you do not press your training, boy.|Salth Khan commenting Tyren's skills}}

He did not go back to Tarentum but instead eager to learn about other clans came to [[House Exar Kun]] of [[Clan Plagueis]]. In hope of a new beginning and the continuing of his training he asked for a master. Sith Battlelord Salth Khan replied to the request. Tyren spent the next year in Clan Plagueis under the brutal regime of his master’s teachings. Khan was a Sith through-and-through and Tyren could never really relate to his lessons. The teachings of the Old man still rang in his ears. He transferred to Clan Naga Sadow, leaving Plagueis behind.

=== Naga Sadow 26 ABY-29 ABY===
{{Quote|It was right of you to come here. You have much potential.|Draken}}
==== Disciple of Kressh ====
When he arrived in House Marka Ragnos he was given a responsibility of leading one of the battleteams. Commanding Ravana Squadron gave Tyren a new insight on the functioning of the Brotherhood. The new experience only made him stronger in his resolve to advance through the ranks.
Soon after he was appointed to Aedile of House Ludo Kressh along with Ylith, who he discovered later, was his long lost twin brother.

==== Quest for knowledge ====
After the initial doubt in Ylith’s claim to be his twin, Tyren subjected to a DNA test that confirmed it. In the wake of their shocking revelation the two brothers went on a quest to discover their forgotten and hidden past. They roamed the galaxy for clues on where to look, the search eventually led them to Dantooine where they found the shattered Sanctuary. In the rubble they found a holocron that recorded the marriage of Jerreth and Ashira.
Amongst the data they found a holovid of their birth, of them playing in the garden, a crest of the Atemas and the vile attack on the Sanctuary.

Now the two brothers understood their past. They placed their family’s banner near the ruins, in remembrance of their parents. Although Jerreth and Ashira were Jedi and their sons Sith their will and wish to save their children was cause enough to remember them.

The two agreed they would bare their true names and never bring dishonor to it.

==== Battle of Antei and the Orian Invasion ====
{{Quote|Your lightsaber, Dark Jedi Knight...|Quaestor Ashura Isradia}}

As many of his brothers had been, Tyren was on the front lines on Antei. Being a Jedi Hunter that he was he had little chance against the overwhelming power of the Vong, yet he fought bravely and was awarded his own lightsaber. He watched many of his comrades die and even his brother, Ylith, a titan, fell to the Vongs weapons. Both brothers pulled out with their heads. Soon afterward he was elected the new Tetrarch of the Night Hawks Battleteam.

After their defeat at Antei the Sadowites returned to Orian where they found an unexpected enemy, the True Brotherhood who had taken over the system. He led his Battleteam on a few special missions for the Summit which came out with critical information for the campaign.
Soon enough the Orian Invasion had ended with the destruction of the True Brotherhood and the capture or death of its members.
Determined to bring back order to the now scattered ranks of Marka Ragnos, Tyren took up the position of the Commander of Ravana Squadron again. Bringing the Journeymen to their ultimate goal and strengthening Naga Sadows forces became his new objective.

==== Changes... ====
In the long months after the Incursion, Tyren had changed drastically.
The fall of Antei and the later Invasion on Orian had a significant effect on him, mentally. His dark personality had become less dormant appearing more often than usual. Tyren did not know what caused this, the Vong or the death of so many of his comrades. Seeing all that death, Tyren virtually became less and less interested in important things, more and more walking into a kind of indifferent state of mind that didn't care for life or death. He started smoking a lot and found a secret pleasure in it.

Tyren's only true interest was the Herald office and his family and Clan. He worked as the Praetor to the Herald and assisted him and the staff in everything they needed.

==== A new friendship ====
A week after his brother took Tyren's old position as the leader of the Night Hawks, an unfamiliar woman walked into his office on Tarthos. The woman was [[Imperial|Jade Atema]], his brothers fiancée.

They talked for hours about her life and his, about Ylith's and her meeting and Tyren began to like the woman. But something was wrong; he sensed she was different, like him. He sensed she had her darker side chained and enclosed inside her, frequently letting it out.

==== Nephew and Uncle ====
Tyren stood, patiently, with Ylith as his son was born. [[Aragan Atema]], a beautiful half-Valheru boy. Tyren became an uncle. He loved his nephew and would gladly protect him with his life should the need occur, since Ylith had a lot of enemies in his former Clans.
Along with Aragan the [[Atema]] found a new relative, one that they didn't, even in their wildest dreams, expect. [[Kharon Daragon]] discovered he was Tyren's and Ylith's uncle being their fathers half-brother. Fate would have it that they found eachouther in the same place.

==== Battle of Telos ====
{{Quote|Remember what we used to say?"....."Jackpot!|Tyren and Ylith}}

In 28 ABY the summit of Naga Sadow issued an immediate plan to destroy a Vong world ship, [[Domain Amnan]], that had entered the Telos system, the jugular of Naga Sadow's supply routes. A plan, under the command of Darth Vexatus and Master Caerick, the Consul, was put into action and the whole suite of Equites and journeymen of the Clan joined in battle on board the living moon.

During their many battles in the belly of the beast, Tyren fought alongside his brother Ylith and his wife Jade along with their apprentices, [[Sarak Shai]] and Zaxen, including his own apprentice, Scuslem.

In a battle against the Vong priests, Tyren lost his left eye, one of the creatures having pricked it out of its socket.

==== Proditio ====
After the Vong attack, Ylith had been away from the Clan for some time before returning as... another person, Draken. His interaction with the Vong changed him, he was less interested in his family and more in destroying the Vong and gaining power. He had, in Tyren's eyes, betrayed the Atema by leaving his wife, Jade, and his newly born son, Aragan. Ylith's relationship with [[Xathia]] didn't help with the situation. The situation escalated when Ylith tried to kill Jade and Aragan. It was by Tyren's help that they escaped the Marakith Skyhook and evaded death.

Ylith left the clan never to return. In the few instances they met, the two nearly avoided bloodshed.

=== Synergy 29 ABY ===
The year was 29 ABY and the Vong war was at its height. Yet, some profited from this.

Tyren formed a Company for mining and construction called "Synergy". He situated the headquarters on the planet Khalim, near the Omwat system in the Mid Rim. He saw the future rid of the Vong and a galaxy full of opportunity. The company was small, employing around 5000 employees: engineers, officers, personnel and the majority of these were miners.

To create his company and finance its infrastructure, Tyren acquired a solid sum of credits from various financial loans, extortions, money laundering, etc.

The company was divided into 3 sections:
* Mining
* Military force
* Construction and engineering

Miners were mostly slaves he acquired from the Hutts or enslaved villagers.
Military force operatives were free jacks and people he acquired from various crime lords he killed. The Engineers he acquired the same way as the Military.

=== Arcona 29 ABY ===

Tyren left Naga Sadow some time after Ylith. He was tired of the manipulatory politics the leadership had brought upon the Clan. He looked for a new Clan to call home, and so he found one...Arcona. He followed his former apprentice Vorion who had been elected Aedile of House Galeres.

After failing in his role as Quaestor of Qel-Droma he pulled back, into the background for a while. Only when word of Draken, his brother, came to him did he come out of the shadows. Finally the time was right for the two brothers to face of...and end their rivalry once and for all.

==== Terminus ====
{{Quote|Dear brother, when will you finally learn that you are weaker than you ever were? That is Draken's gift to you...|Tyren Atema, mocking Draken}}

It was a warm day on Shi as the brothers faced each other on the very place Draken used to rule his kingdom, the King's palace.

They had been chasing each other for weeks since Tyren came out of hiding. As would be expected from a Valheru, Draken lead his host's brother to his homworld, for the final, concluding duel that would determine the future of the Atema. Either one, or both would fall, but there would be blood, and they knew it.

The battle was a fierce one, like two opposite poles pushing and pulling against each other, each knowing the others weaknesses. Finally, Draken, the superior fighter gain the upper hand, smothering Tyren to the ground breaking the Krath's hold on his saber. As Draken pulled his brother off the ground he said: "Any last requests?". The only response was a smile on Tyren's face and a stream of blood and spit from his mouth. Draken's disorientation gave Tyren a chance, and he used it. Mustering the Force to his will he enhanced his strength and hit Draken's nose with his brow. The Sith tumbled back even more confused only to recover as Tyren bull rushed him over the high fence. Tyren dangled in the air, holding to a loose piece of metal as he saw his brother disappear into the mist, ten stories below. A single tear fell down his cheek as he damned the demon Draken who had corupted his brother so.

==== Sworn to the Shadows ====
{{Quote|And we are they.|Shadesworn}}

In the year 30 ABY just before the great conflict and the liberation of Antei, Tyren was called into a shady, well organized group of loyal Arconan elites. The Shadesworn were born as the pinnacle of Arcona`s war effort. Their mission would be to prepare the clan for a long awaited mission, the liberation of their home system, Dajorra.

Tyren`s role, as always, was one of a covert nature. He was to organize sleeper cells of commandos from the Synergy military branch and deploy them in every ship of the fleet months prior to the start of the operation. These cells would then upon their activation, place charges on vital systems on the ship, temporarily disabling communication, propulsion and defenses thus spreading utter chaos throughout the Arconan fleet.

Once the operation started and Arcona was flung into chaos, the Shadesworn assumed the role of controlling the ships and stealing of the artifacts in the Arconan vault.
While his comrades broke into the vault and took control of most of the fleet, Tyren was left alone facing two Equites of higher caliber, [[Rho Ozrei d'Tana]] and [[Arcturus Gadeskin Xyler]]. Tyren, surprisingly, proved to be a match to both Equites with his mastery of the art of Soresu.

As the clan began to realize what was going on so did the momentum of the operation subside and the Shadesworn retreated to the Maw Cluster where they would reveal their plan to their comrades. When Vorion, Shadesworn`s leader under Mejas Doto's iron fist, called forth the leaders of the Clan to a meeting they reluctantly came under heavy guard.

It was there and then that the Shadesworn revealed the whole plot to the leaders of the Houses and their other comrades. The Maw led to Dajorra.

=== Later life 30 ABY - 36 ABY ===

==== Exile and Return ====

For four years, Tyren ran his company from Khalim. His work drove him to new heights and the company flourished. That is until the board of directors became greedy. They wanted Tyren out so they devised a plan. They would hire an assassin to kill him on his own yacht-ship, Jewel of the desert. A crude and ultimetly inefficient method. Tyren killed the assassin but revealed his Dark Jedi nature in the process. Having everything on record, the board decided to change their approach. They knew the Republic security forces searched for any lead or clue to Tyren's criminal doings. They sold the information to the security force for a hefty sum.

The secuity forces ambushed Tyren while he was on a business trip in the Core. He killed every one of the officers sent to arrest him and fled the sector. A Core-wide headhunt was issued, with several Jedi at the lead. He fled into Hutt space for two years, evading the "heat". He faced off the jedi several times but every time he managed to escape. His business was over and his future as anything but a Dark Jedi as well. At least that's what he thought. After the whole thing calmed down and he was sure no one was following him anymore, he returned to Naga Sadow in hopes of finding some much needed respite, but all he found was more politics. He would follow the Clan and see where the future took him.

==== Unifying Force ====

In early 36 ABY, just before his return to Naga Sadow, he discovered a curious [[Xilaren Bastra's holojournal|holojournal]] on a remote planet called Tar Morden. It described the philosophy of the Unifying force in great detail and it left Tyren perplexed; he had found the very teachings the Old man from his past taught him. He had come full circle. He would hide his revelations and musings from the clan and continue researching the philosophy in secret.

=== Naga Sadow 36 ABY - Today ===

==== Attack on Orian ====

The surprise attack on Orian was unexpected and caught the Clan completely off guard. Plagueis and Scholae Palatinae exited hyperspace and immediately began their invasion. Their aim was to probe to the Dark Council that they were ready for "Clan status". Clearly they were not. Scholae Palatinae betrayed Plagueis, hoping to eliminate two enemies in one stroke. They failed and the three way battle saw the superior Naga Sadow forces rip apart and drive away the House fleets.

Tyren battled in several battles, most notably the capture and disabling of a Majestic-class cruiser. After the battle ended he aided in rebuilding efforts as well as he could, even going so far as to personally help with physical jobs like rebuilding damaged structures.

[[File:May1.png|thumb|75px|left|Mayda, Tyren's lover]]
==== An Old Flame Rekindled ====

Tyren spent most of his time with the Clan in peaceful meditation or research, all the time listening and learning from Master Bastra's teachings. One day when he came to the Library of Artifacts, hoping to find notes on ancient Jedi techniques, he came upon a sight he had not seen for eight years. There, with the rest of his brothers, he found his past lover, [[Mayda Ferium]] - a woman that influenced him profoundly. After their initial greeting which, for the sake of appearances was a bit cold, they met up and seemed to renew their long-forgotten bond. They spent their time away from the Clan in a secluded place, somewhere where they could talk and catch up.

Soon enough the two rekindled their old relationship, becoming lovers once more. Now, devoted to each other, they had the Force on their side and this time Tyren knew their relationship would bloom.

[[File:Methyas.jpg|thumb|75px|right|Methyas, Jedi mentor]]
==== A New Mentor ====

[[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]], a Jedi Scholar in the ranks of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] approached Tyren within the Library of Artifacts on Sepros. He revealed himself as a Jedi and gave Tyren the opportunity he had been waiting for. Methyas proposed that he mentor Tyren and share his knowledge and wisdom with him so they could both bring enlightenment to their Clan. After some discussion and doubt Tyren accepted and showed Methyas the [[Xilaren Bastra's holojournal|holojournal]] of his master, Xilaren Bastra. Their meeting was cut short, however, as the Clan mobilized to attack Khar Delba.

==== The Crusade ====

Not much is known about his activities during the Dark Crusade. What is certain is that he acted as Black Guard for several Summit members of Clan Naga Sadow and it's Houses. He was killed when an LAAT transport exploded above Khar Delba, in 37 ABY.

{{Quote|Every breath of life brings the Final Way to its consummation, yet every death ultimately reveals the wisdom to survive into the Final Order. How many deaths have you suffered, young one?|Trevarus Sadow}}

== Character History ==
Trevarus Irad Caerick is the birth name of the beings known alternatively as Trevarus Sadow or [[Shan Long]]. Regarded as one of the most influential and powerful Elders to ever walk the [[Final Way]], Trevarus has influenced many spheres of [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] development. His extensive research into the ancient history of the [[starwars:Dark side|Dark Side]] and the origin of the [[Final Way]] have also marked him as one of the most literate and obsessive Dark Jedi.

=== Birth and Early Life ===
{{Quote|What of your father, young one? Mere shades and vapor.|Kiln Tobasa}}

Born to Jedi Master Alaerus Caerick on the outskirts of [[starwars:Coronet City|Coronet City]], [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], he enjoyed the life of easy aristocracy. Being an intensely insular, secretive man, Alaerus never revealed the birth of his son to the [[starwars:Jedi Council|Jedi Council]], instead quietly raising and training his scion in the ways of [[starwars:The force|the Force]]. Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the [[starwars:Lightsaber|lightsaber]], languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Empire]] finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the [[starwars:Corellian System|Corellian System]] during the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]], surviving the infamous [[starwars:Order 66|Order 66]]. A group of [[Jedi Hunter]]s lead by [[Dark Side Adept|Adept]] Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] as his protege.

=== The Imperial Court ===
{{Quote|Do you hear me Tobasa? I swear to death herself, I will kill you!|Trevarus Caerick}}

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the [[starwars:Death star|Death Star]] at [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin IV]], Tobasa attempted to overthrow the [[starwars:Galactic Emperor|Emperor]]. Tobasa barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. As his uninvolved Apprentice, Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to [[starwars:Admiral|Admiral]] [[starwars:Mitth'raw'nuruodo|Thrawn]] of the [[starwars:Admonitor|Admonitor]].

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

When he next appeared in the Galactic proper he had began training with a sect of Force-wielders called the [[starwars:Jensaarai|Jensaarai]] on a remote world called [[starwars:Susevfi|Susevfi]] in the Suarbi System. None know how or why he sought out the cult of Sith Heretics, and the Elder himself does answer questions.

He almost died on the approach to Susevfi, his freighter falling under heavy attack from mercenary forces. Crashing into a mountainside, he bled out onto the floor. A healer of the Jensaarai named Carina Slayt found and nursed him back to health over the course of months. The two became close friends and lovers, eventually marrying. Trevarus lost touch with his Imperial superiors, and began training as a Defender. The Sith teachings of the group reminded him of the peculiar religion of his old Master. Regardless, he excelled in his new life and gradually lost his desire for power.

Battle drew him back into the full grasp of the Dark Side. A powerful Dark Jedi invaded the Jensaarai compound, raiding their archives and brutally interrogating members of the sect. Trevarus gave into his rage and slew him, after brutally raping his mind for insight. He felt the call to leave, and that very night he commandeered the dead man's ship and followed his vision to the Aurora System.

=== Rites of Initiation ===
{{Quote|You are my son in Sadow, my brother in arms, and my blood at the end of days.|Tron Sadow}}

Prostrated before Lord [[Justinian Khyron]], Trevarus swore eternal devotion to the [[Iron Throne]]. Upon his formal admission, Trevarus petitioned [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow|Tron Sadow]] for admission to Independent House Naga Sadow, and was quickly accepted.

He proceeded through the Shadow Academy with unreasonable skill. Accepted into his new House, Trevarus found his true place. He joined the Emerald Serpents Phyle of House Ludo Kressh after the House was chartered as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Lord Khyron ordered the separation of Houses by Order, causing his transition to [[House Marka Ragnos]].

Aseret Thunderhawk appointed him a Phyle which he named the [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. As his first leadership role in the Clan, Trevarus demonstrated his ability to organize a unit. The exploits of the original Night Hawks have become legend in the Clan, most famously recovering the [[Holocron of Antar IV]], and investigating the ancient Krath military bases under the ice of Loki. Most of the Tyros Trevarus commanded grew to infamy in their own right. He went on to become [[Aedile]] and then [[Quaestor]] of his House.

As Quaestor, Trevarus ruled the Sons of Ragnos for only a short time, appointing Enerum Shka as his Aedile, and striking down the rebellion of Arkane Maithal. This act alone saw him appointed to [[Proconsul]] of Clan Naga Sadow, and after the retirement of Ace of Darkened Hearts two weeks later, to Consul.

<div class="floatleft">[[File:Shanlong.jpg|309px]]</div>

=== Beginnings of a Legend ===
{{Quote|What the hell is that thing in the middle of his forehead?|Deceased Journeyman}}

His reign as Consul has often been referred to the Golden Age of Clan Naga Sadow. Upon assuming the Consulate, he immediately stripped the Clan of unworthy Clansmen, a bloodshed unprecedented, named the Massacre of Sif. Nearly two-hundred fell under his merciless order. With a fresh body of eager Fallen, the Archpriest appointed leaders to each of his Three Houses. When selecting a Proconsul, Trevarus was interested in two prominent members of House Ludo Kressh, then Aedile Kale Lobacz and the Quaestor [[Manesh]]. Manesh refused the appointment, while Kale answered the Consul's call. A young Commander of Sapphire Squadron named [[Goatham]] was appointed Aedile to replace Kale. Trevarus saw remarkable talent in the Falleen, and took him as his first Apprentice.

The resources available to Trevarus awakened the mystical hunger from his youth. He became the Magistrate, and ultimately Praetor to Arania Lawakiro, the Krath High Priestess. He plundered the archives of the Dark Council, frequently traveling to distant solar systems to seek out artifacts and records from the earliest days of the Great Wars. He balanced the requirements of his Clan, with his own obsessions until one of the greatest tests of his Clan, and his leadership came to pass.

Trevarus had recently returned from a journey to the Orian System, one of many he would take before the Exodus. He had finished a compilation of Dark Side Lore in three volumes, called the Chronicle of Dark Souls. Lord Thedek had retired from the Iron Throne in his absence, and the Lord's successor marked a polarizing transition within the Seven Clans. Archibald Zoraan had been an ineffective Consul of [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]], and upon his Ascension, the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow and [[Taldryan]] voiced their opposition. The fires of the [[Third Great Jedi War]] marked the alliance of former [[Grand Master]], Lord [[Jac Cotelin]] Consul of Taldryan, and Trevarus. The war stilled, Clan Naga Sadow returned to routine.

The [[Chronicle of Dark Souls]] was presented to the Dark Council, and received with trepidation. Much of his research was heretical to the current order, but Trevarus was awarded the [[Ruby Scepter]] for his work. He returned to his studies.

For several months after the war, Zoraan had begun horrible experiments in the observatory of the Dark Hall, consuming resources, and wasting lives. He neglected the Dark Council, and was eventually stripped of authority by the Fleet Commander. In a desperate move, he slew several Councilors, and seized the Dark Hall, declaring himself the new Emperor. Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan immediately deployed forces to Eos, and with the aide of the Fleet, broke the siege of the Dark Hall. Zoraan was presumed destroyed in a massive Force Storm.

A few months later, Trevarus would resign as Consul, and disappear for nearly a year. When next seen in Brotherhood space, his features had hardened, and a strange tattoo of an eye was in the middle of his forehead. He called it the Mark of the Wanderer.

=== Creation of a Monster ===
{{Quote|Seven... two... two from one... voices from millions of thousands.|Trevarus Caerick}}

Every Elder felt a strange glimmering in the Dark Side around Trevarus shortly after he appeared with the Mark. His obsessions seemed to consume him completely. In lucid moments, he was pedagogical, sparring with his Apprentice, now named [[Xanos Zorrixor]], and offering lectures at the Shadow Academy. When he appeared with the [[Amulet of Orian]] on his arm, the Elders noticed a disturbing new character in Trevarus. His lucid states became less frequent, often slipping into violent meditations and speaking in tongues. After observing him tear an Apprentice's throat out with his teeth, the insane Lord [[Chi Long]] began his own tutelage of Trevarus Caerick.

The Dark Lord twisted Trevarus' rage into a new personality which he named [[Shan Long]], the Thunder Dragon. He promoted Trevarus to [[Krath Pontifex]], and appointed him Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, to serve as his personal historian and representative within the Brotherhood. Shan Long lay dormant, while Trevarus resumed control of his Force. For a year, he worked diligently, but finally retired to Clan Naga Sadow, becoming Proconsul for then Consul Xanos-Zorrixor.

=== The Journey of the Seven ===
{{Quote|We must stand united. The Empire has fallen, and we shall see our brethren into the Final Nights. The wounded and dying shall be left for the crows.|Lord Firefox}}

Trevarus' return to Clan politics marked one of the most unstable periods in the Brotherhood. Lord [[Firefox]], and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin desperately worked to balance the Brotherhood's existence with the Emperor's Hammer who had degenerated into rabble. The Executive Officer pulled for more resources and control of the Brotherhood, and the Iron Throne resisted him. Trevarus, as an experienced officer of the Fleet, worked with Lords Firefox and Cotelin, trying to maintain stability. While in conference with Lord [[Chi Long]], Trevarus offered a vision of a Brotherhood free of the Fleet, recalling a prophecy he had uttered some years before. Together, they approached Firefox and Jac Cotelin. Thus began the [[Seven]].

Timing would be crucial, Trevarus secretly prepared his Clan for the departure. The Dark Lord offered a series of visions, a far off system hidden behind a shroud of the Dark Side. Trevarus had explored such a world many years prior, and led a team of researchers back to [[Antei]], to lay the groundwork for new Brotherhood facilities.

With a new territory secured, Lord Firefox called for the meeting that sparked the Third Brotherhood Civil War, otherwise known as the [[Exodus]].

=== Herald of the Final Order ===
{{Quote|He did something, shadows came out nowhere after he opened his eyes. His body went dead, and the shadows stopped. His body was covered in metal, like a statue.|Korlyn Teras}}
[[Image:Trevdrawing.png|thumb|right|The Oracle Trevarus Caerick.]]

The newly promoted Elder of the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to solidify the nascent holdings of his Brethren in their new system. Lord Firefox named him [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood, and charged him with seeking out every possible mystery on his ancient new Throneworld. Construction worked blasting for a new facility uncovered a massive underground cavern. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Trevarus dispatched a junior apprentice to investigate. While the Apprentice was absent, he delivered one of his most chilling prophecies to the Dark Lord, now called the Tenebric Conclusions. The Jedi Hunter returned, attempting to slay the Oracle and his Praetor, [[Vassan Rokir]]. The ancient Unknown Consciousness was introduced to an unwary Brotherhood.

Trevarus survived the attack by forcing the [[Amulet of Orian]] to cover his body with its invincible protection, while unifying his spirit with the Force through an art called Preparance. Normally only performed by the Grand Masters, Trevarus' lack of skill split his physical and spiritual energies. He would watch the Third Brotherhood Civil War through the blood-red hue of the Dark Side as a helpless shade.

At the conclusion of the conflict, Trevarus would be restored to his body. His spirit however, underwent a dramatic shift. The long dormant personality of Shan Long reemerged, and exerted tremendous control over their body. Trevarus was named Dark Jedi Master, before retiring as Oracle, a move to better control the aspects of his psyche. Moments after his resignation, Shan Long emerged, and attacked the assembled body of the Dark Council. As one of the first actions of his second reign from the Iron Throne, Lord Jac Cotelin returned the Master in chains of Trevarus' own design to the Sons of Sadow on Sepros. His Clansmen worked to restore him to sanity with the assistance of Dark Jedi Master [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. They succeeded in allowing Trevarus' an incorporeal existence outside of their shared body, a state from which he managed to slay [[Kiln Tobasa]], becoming the new Prima [[Marked of the Wanderer]].

In modern nights, Trevarus continues to travel, researching the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side, and the Consummation of the Final Way. He instructed worthy Apprentices, and guides his Clan with the weight of his experience. Balance has been achieved between his dual personalities, although Shan Long occasionally lashes out in murderous impulse. Trevarus beamed with pride upon the promotion of his First Apprentice, Xanos Sadow to the rank of Dark Prophet after a successful term as Deputy Grand Master. Upon Xanos' return to Clan Naga Sadow, they collaborate to engineer their Clan's triumph in the Final Nights.

Despite his loyalties and memories, Trevarus is rarely seen within the Brotherhood territories. Months pass between his appearances in [[New Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] or the Amicus Club. Rumors and speculation follow whispers of the Master over drinks and scratched parchment. Those who probe the Dark Side seeking the enigma only draw tangled missives in two-score languages. All are certain that Trevarus will reappear, with some new mystery for the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi to consider as he draws nearer to apotheosis.

== The Seer, Seeker, and Sorcerer ==
{{Quote|Trev is probably the most psychotically brilliant Elder around. I've seen that bastard rip throats out with his bare teeth, and utter prophecy with the corpse's tongue.|Anonymous Equite}}

If there were ever a cautionary tale about the dangers of delving too deeply into the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force, the enigma of Trevarus Caerick should serve as the classic example. Were it not for the usefulness of his talents, and the raw puissance he has demonstrated in fanatical devotion to the Final Way, the Iron Throne would certainly have slain him years ago.

As a student of the Krath Order from the earliest days of his induction, Trevarus was fascinated by the legends of the ancient Krath sorcerers. How, through the sheer power of will, they commanded the very elements of the Universe itself, and tore power from the deepest reaches of the Force. His private journals indicate a carefully constructed path to achieving powers the Elders would deny him.

Proving himself a skilled commander of Jedi within Clan Naga Sadow, Trevarus applied for research access within the sealed archives of the Krath Order. Prominent Krath were hesitant, but the High Priestess, Arania Lawakiro took the upstart [[Equite]] into her tutelage, appointing him [[Magistrate]] to her office, and finally to Praetor. Trevarus used his nearly unfettered access to the Archives to plunder locations and grimoires. He would often disappear for weeks at a time, scouting ancient sites and relics of the earliest Dark Jedi. He never accounted for his findings, or the seemingly haphazard logic to his travels. All the while, he rose in rank as he demonstrated his capabilities and bested rivals. Observers and allies alike agree that these formative years of deep research allowed the fracture that eventually broke his mind.

Trevarus abandoned the bureaucracy of the Krath Order upon his elevation to Krath Pontifex. Called to make an accounting of his studies by frustrated and jealous Krath scholars, Trevarus presented the Chronicle of Dark Souls to Lord Zoraan, finally revealing the depths of his heresy. Perhaps Zoraan should have destroyed him, instead he ordered Trevarus to leave his work unpublished, and presented him with a Ruby Scepter. After his oust from the Iron Throne, his Successor, Lord Chi Long brought the powerful Equite onto the Dark Council to continue his researches with the sanction of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Pontifex basked in his new authority, researching and practicing the most obscure and potent Krath Magics, delving into areas forbidden even to the most powerful of Elders. Some rumors speculate that he was guided by the combined influence of Lords Chi Long and Jac Cotelin, who protected his life from the powerful forces he wished to command.

After resigning from the [[Dark Council]], Trevarus disappeared for a year, returning with the strange Mark of the Wanderer. It would seem that his connection with this powerful and heretical cult had doubled the powers of an already unparalleled sorcerer. He became violent, unpredictable. Insanity had claimed him. Intrigued, Chi Long began his public tutelage of the Equite.

{{Quote|We... we... are cold... so... so... cold... feed we... must...|Shan Long}}

Trevarus' forays into powerful magic had forced him to utterly focus his will into the Force, suppressing all emotions. This latent pressure bubbled over and began to break the Elder. To save his life, Chi Long focused every suppressed emotion into a singular vision. By splitting his identity, Trevarus was free to continue, unencumbered by the pressure of the Dark Side, and to expand upon his will-driven explorations into the Force. Begotten of Trevarus, the Birth of Shan Long began with a long slumber, and it seemed that he was fully in control of all his faculties, a spirit sleeping in Trevarus. He was awakened by ancient Gods of the Dark Side who are many thousands of names beyond naming.

It seemed that at the very moment Trevarus stepped foot on the barren dead soil of Antei, Shan Long awoke. Trevarus' insight had long caught the ear of the Star Chamber, and Lord Firefox had appointed him Oracle some time before, yet with the culmination of the Exodus, the clairvoyant outbursts of the Oracle took a surprising twist. His voice changed, he demanded blood, and any who looked upon his face saw only the wasted visage of a man consumed with passion. Shan Long had a face now.

Trevarus was the first Elder to be affected by the Consciousness. To save their body from death at the blade of a knife, Trevarus retreated his spirit into the very heart of the Dark Side. His art of Preparence utterly split the spirits of Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long. Shan Long was totally consumed by the ravages of the Nameless Ones, yet Trevarus remained untainted. When Lord Firefox rescued the Elder's essence from the Force, Trevarus Caerick was completely changed. His magics became more potent, and with the aide of the powerful Elders of [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]], he studied the deepest mysteries of life and death. Even more withdrawn than normal, Trevarus began to lose touch. In his last lucid moment, Trevarus resigned the Dark Council, and asked to be delivered in chains to his Brothers in Clan Naga Sadow.

Eventually, he wrested control of himself back from Shan Long, but nothing would ever be the same. To this day, Trevarus is acclaimed as one of the most gifted and knowledgeable Sorcerers of the Dark Side to serve the Brotherhood, yet the price of this power has been exacted tenfold.

'''Teu''', formerly Teu Pepoi, is the mother of Thomas, Darra and Thonas Pepoi. She was born to one of the millions of rich families. Currently, Teu is an Obelisk Primarch. She is the former Left Hand of Justice, Professor in the Shadow Academy and Quaestor in House Marka Ragnos.

==Character History==
===Early life===
====Middle Child====
Teu Andet was born in 5ABY on the planet of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]]. She was the middle child of three, her older brother Derek Lend was from her mother's first marriage. Her sister Maila was 3 years younger than Teu. Maila was the baby of the family, she got everything she wanted and was the princess. This angered Teu to no end; she missed the two years she had of being the spoiled child. Now it seemed her parents were not interested in the adventures she enjoyed.[[File:BabyTeu.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Teu at three months.]]
Teu enjoyed being by herself; she would wander around the town near her house getting into everything. She enjoyed climbing up to the highest of heights and battling the nasty empire. She was a happy child in an upper-class family; she knew nothing that those of the more unfortunate class lived through.

==== A split in the family and a new family ====
Soon after Teu's fifth birthday an unexpected happening hit the family. Teu's parents were splitting up. Her parents had been fighting off and on throughout the last few months but one big fight happened and her father walked out. This tore at her heart and she began to blame herself. Her mother seemed to have moved on quickly; she had begun to date a new man, Arian Kendet. Soon, the relationship turned out to be a sudden quick marriage. With the remarriage of her mother, her brother Derek moved into his father's house. The count of the family went from five to four.

Soon after the quick wedding ceremony the small family moved off planet to a new home where they would be among the high class. Teu found herself now living on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]; an entire new planet to explore for this interested child. She figured she would like this new place.[[File:TeuDogtags.jpg|thumb|200px|right|These was Teu's grandfather's given to her on her 5th birthday.]]

==== A New Home and New Hardships ====
This wondrous planet held much for the young child; she explored as far as her mother allowed her to go. Teu was enrolled in the best schools where she excelled in math and reading. Soon she became the top of her class excelling in every subject. While she was the top student and everyone went to her for help, she had no close friends. When her back was turned the students ridiculed her, no one wanted to invite her over. This went on for years throughout school.

Around her apartment building a couple of younger kids started to tease her. In a moment of uncontrolled anger she and the kids got into a fight, a fight she won. Her mother was furious for her attacking the two children. After that Teu ignored the jibes that other kids held for her. She found solitude in her books, escaping from the pain of being bullied by her classmates.

As her school years wound down Teu slowly came out of the shell that she had built for herself; she became more vocal and her anger bubbled over more. She quickly started getting into more and more fights with anyone who wanted to get in her way. She had a goal to become the best at whatever she wanted and no one’s opinions of her would stop that. She graduated school at the top of her class and quickly got accepted to one of the best Academies in the known galaxy.

==== Disowned and Alone ====
She remained at the university for two years before suddenly and without warning dropping out. Her parents were angry at this sudden move and disowned her. She was left with the clothes on her back and the ship she had bought. Unable to support herself financially Teu eventually left Courscant for where ever the ship would take her. Several days of travel went by as her supplies started to run low; she found a habitable planet and landed. She ended up on [[starwars:Nar Shadda|Nar Shadda]].

After she landed she sold the ship for quick money, setting out looking for a place to call home as she figured out what to do. Teu quickly found an abandoned apartment, which was filled with garbage and other waste. Cleaning a spot out in the basement she created a semi hospitable place to call home. The local gang noticed the new occupant on their turf but left her be for the time being; figuring the child would not last a week on the planet.

Teu was out of her element, going from having everything provided to her to having to scavenge for it. She quickly deteriorated from the lack of food. As time went on she began to scavenge through the various trash heaps that held what little food there was to be found. The gang members were stumped as to why this mere child had managed to survive so long on the harsh planet. As a result, they decided to investigate the place where she lived.

Two months into her self-imposed exile on the planet the gang broke into her small, dirty hovel. Finding the child asleep on the floor they ransacked the room. Finding no money or food they were confused. Teu awoke in the middle of the ransacking; she was beat back into unconsciousness by two gang members.

After she awoke Teu deemed to be never without some way to defend her. She approached two of the lower ranked gang bangers and asked for help, but they simply laughed at her as she begged. In a moment of utter, uncontrolled rage Teu threw one of the men back with the Force; he was not badly injured. The other man, who was relatively new in the gang, attacked her. Still in her blinding rage Teu managed to fight without much training in formal arts, an instinct of self-salvation took over.

==== Undefeatable ====
After the incident Teu was approached by a higher ranking gang member interested in helping her learn to fight, Teu agreed. There was only one stipulation; she would have to do as he said in order for the training to take place. She was a quick learner, her ability with a blaster was uncanny for accuracy and her reflexes were faster than the normal person. She could almost see where the blows were coming from.

Teu became the gang’s younger sister, everyone looked out for her yet they knew she could handle herself. As time went on she started to take part in the weekly fights the gang held to see who the best fighter was. Teu started out getting knocked out in the first round, but as she watched the opponents she saw their weak points. Match after match she moved further up the impromptu ladder, taking harder and harder opponents and winning.

==== Defeated and Broken ====
Soon only one last combatant remained; it was the current leader of the gang Garek Dendel. He was undefeated, no one able to beat the man. It was a cross boundary match, gangs from all over came to watch and there were bets for who would win. As the match started Teu was surprised at Garek's uncanny speed and reflexes, they surpassed hers. She was quickly outmatched and Garek quickly broke, beating the cocky women. The match lasted several minutes, in that time he broke several bones throughout her body. Leaving her in the middle of the floor he walked away.

Teu fell in and out of consciousness, realizing that she was lying on a soft mat in her moments of lucid consciousness. As she floated in the limbo of pain she was approached by a vision of some kind that told her of a place where her talent would be nurtured and helped to grow. This place was the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]].

==== A new chance ====
Once her injuries were healed, Teu quickly sought passage to the place her vision told her to go. Her former teacher told her if she left she would not be welcomed back. She left with a target on her back, though this mattered little to her. She had a place where she could learn to control the gifts she knew she had. The trip was one she would never forget. Having gone by Teu since she was disowned she looked forward to making a name for herself, whatever that may be.

=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood History ===
After taking the Test of Lore she was assigned to [[House Marka Ragnos]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. She worked hard at learning to control her powers and feelings in order to become stronger. As she attained rank she was approached by [[Jade Sadow]] and asked to be her apprentice. Teu saw Jade as a quick way to gain rank and earn her saber quickly; she accepted the offer and put even more effort into learning the skills of the trade. While she was under the tutelage of Jade the master took another journeyman under her wing, [[Fremoc Pepoi]], known as Demonic as this time. The two quickly became close while often training together. However, Jade saw the forming relationship and quickly quashed it, sending Teu on a mission that lasted for the better part of a year.

==== Bloody Vacation ====
{{Quote|You threw me out on the streets and forgot I ever existed, now you expect me to come back without any hard feelings. Your gravely mistaken| To her parents before killing them}}

Shortly after her promotion to Jedi Hunter, Teu received an unexpected message from her parents. They had fallen into financial ruins after disowning her and they wished to make amends. Against the wishes of her Master she went to meet and discuss what they wanted from her. The meeting was to take place on a remote moon since Teu had no desire to return to Courscant or Coriella. Teu quickly became angered after hearing the terms of her return to the family as she would have to give up her job out in Unknown Space. She had lied about being in a mercenary group to keep her real job hidden from them.

[[File:Newspaperclipping-teu.jpg|thumb|200px|left]]Teu agreed, falling back into the graces of her family. She returned home with them. This turned out to be a ploy as the family was not in financial ruins. They were, in fact, on the top of their game. Word had gotten around to their supporters about a disgraced child and this was a blemish on their name. They devised a way to get their daughter back.
Teu was furious; in a moment of uncontrolled anger she killed both her parents after exposing what they led her to becoming before she set out and killed her sister. Teu slowly killed anyone who wore her old family’s name; wiping them out of the universe as they had wiped her from the family. The money, which is rightfully Teu’s, now sits in a bank gaining interest. If she ever decided to leave the Brotherhood she would have money to live on for a long time.

==== Return and Knighthood ====
After her unexpected leave Teu returned to her home in Tarthos. She picked up where she left off in her trials under Jade. She quickly worked through the trials and gained the much awaited for rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Having been gone for several years, Teu found the leadership she had left was no longer the same. Her teacher was now the Quaestor of Marka Ragnos. Even a close friend of hers, Demonic, now [[Fremoc Pepoi]], had managed to get knighted and was the Sergeant of a new Battle Team, [[Night Raptors]].

While she was unable to join the team until she was knighted she kept close tabs on the group as they went on their various missions. Once she was knighted she joined the battle team without hesitation. This allowed the two friends to become close once again. Teu found herself settling back into the flow and rigors of the brotherhood with ease.

==== Love ====
Shortly after her joining the Raptors Fremoc took a short leave to go on a mission to get his son back, who was kidnapped. Teu, unable to watch her friend go off on the mission and possibly end up hurt, played her hand and made Fremoc take her with him. While in transit the pair expressed their feelings for one another. Discovering that they both had deeper feelings for each other they decided to not put the feeling to the side as they had done under Jade's tutelage and instead became a couple. After rescuing Thomas the trio returned to Tarthos. During this time Teu got her first apprentice, [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]].
[[File:Pepoi.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Fremoc and Teu Pepoi]]

After they returned to Tarthos, Teu and Fremoc wed in secret with only a few of their closest friends present. After the wedding Fremoc became Aedile of Marka Ragnos, this was a short term. Robert Sadow, Quaestor of [[House Marka Ragnos]], stepped down allowing Fremoc the chance to prove his ability to run the house. Shortly after Fremoc's appointment to Quaestor Teu became pregnant. While she did not openly tell her husband the news, he felt the new child growing within her stomach and was pleased. Teu was excited yet worried. She was an active Dark Jedi Knight and participated in many deadly missions; she didn’t want anything to happen to the unborn child. This worry kept her from going on many mission with the Raptors, it pained her deeply.

====Spoils of War====
After she became pregnant a war broke out across the entire brotherhood. Clans fought each other trying to prove they were the best. Teu was in the last trimester of her pregnancy and was unable to participate in much of the fighting. She watched as her friends and comrades left to fight, some returned while many did not. When she heard that Fremoc's ship had crashed and he was seriously wounded she thought the worst, believing him dead. However this was not the case, she kept vigil over her husband as he floated in bacta. On the few occasions she joined her comrades in battle she saw the true horrors of battle. During the vendetta she watched as her student joined those who have completed their trials and earned their lightsabers;[[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] was a [[Dark Jedi Knight]].

==== New Child, New Opportunities ====
Six weeks after the clan returned to their home space, Teu was back on Tarthos when she went into labor. After several hours of labor Darra Pepoi was born. Teu was beside herself that her child was unhurt and healthy. As the house returned to normal the small family celebrated this new life.

This celebration was short lived; Teu had been offered a new job, Sergeant of [[The Bastion]]. While unhappy to have to leave her newborn child behind; Teu took over the spot and worked hard on bringing the Battle team up to par. Even though she visited Tarthos often she was still home sick as she missed watching her daughter grow. During this time unrest began stir on the planet’s surface. A group of mercs, known as the Voice of Justice, started causing problems for the Dlarit Corporation which threatened the secrecy that the Dark Jedi relied on.

==== Unrest in the City ====
Riots were started by the Voice calling for a change. Instead of starting peaceful negotiations Malisane Sadow ordered that a squad of Dlarit soldiers stop the riots. This caused a bloodbath that stirred more problems than it did answers. The clan itself was having a party on the skyhook, trying to ignore the happenings on the surface. However, Manji had other ideas. Showing the recording of the Massacre he ordered that the problem be handled.

With the others of the clan, Teu shuttled down to the surface. She started out in the bar but then quickly changed her mind, joining the group that infiltrated Delivence's little group. She was part of the infiltration group for the power generator. However, she was captured when Roxas started bossing around the head strong Knight and threw her out of the air vents that hid the small group.

She was rescued by Kano, Methyas, and Fremoc. While she was unscathed she was rather angry at the young Ragnos Protector. Kano then blew the generator. The small group met up with the main group of Dark Jedi, who returned to the skyhook to recuperate from their various wounds.
[[File:Generator exploding.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Fremoc and Teu Pepoi]]
Once back aboard the skyhook Teu was named Aedile of House Ludo Kreesh after Rastlin suddenly stepped down. After this appointment she made her way to a lounge where several Ragnos members where resting. Once there she updated the small group on the next mission. She also chastised the group on blowing up the generator. Roxas spoke up then, sparking rage in the young Knight that few had ever seen. She broke the protector’s nose and threatened to kill him if he ever spoke to her again.

{{Quote|If you ever touch me again I will kill you. If you ever speak to me unless it’s the direst circumstance I will cut out your tongue and beat you to an inch of your life. To [[Roxas Buurenaar|Roxas]], after he was responsible for her capture}}

After the incident between Roxas and Teu, the clan moved to take out Deliverance and the rest of her small gang of troublemakers. Their task was to stop the Jedi Hunter from blowing up the Island and keep her from killing all of the Dlarit Officials housed there. As the group fought the small band of rebels Teu devised a plan that would hopefully end the rebels forever. Instead of burying the bomb, Teu figured if you blew it above ground the island would remain intact. As the group escaped from the island Teu detonated the bomb, which destroyed two-thirds of the island. After returning to Skyhook she was named a Templar.

After becoming a Templar Teu was called away to assist in the defense of the Shadow Academy. Against her heart, she left the clan to its own devices. She was gone only a couple of weeks. After the end of the battle on the Shadow academy, she and several others from Clan Naga Sadow were collected from the Shadow Academy by the Clan Overlord. In orbit above Tarthos, she bore witness to the slaying that went on only hours previous. Once down on the ground a Conclave happened, in which the Overlord showed those present the truth of the coming future. She was the only non-Son to see it, House Naga Sadow was reborn.

Teu quickly went to look for her husband to show that she had returned from the Shadow academy unscathed. Fremoc, not wanting to see his wife, quickly left the young women and headed to Kar Alabrek. While the young woman was disheartened she found passage with Methyas and chased after her husband. Once in Kar Alabrek she broke away from the others aboard the transport, she had her own mission to complete. She moved through the Vong filled streets in search of her husband. She fought many groups of Vong and one left a huge gash on her arm. She ignored it for the time being, pushing forth to find Fremoc. She found him in the middle of a battle, she stood back and watched him fight. Once he was finished he turned to face his wife. She noticed he was not himself, however, she closed the distance between the pair. The questions remained unsaid but he came clean about what happened and what was to come.

After watching a building collapse on her husband the pair returned to the main Clan forces; the final battle had begun. Teu engaged a huge spider while the others went to engage the others up top. While in a fight her right arm was snapped in half; unable to use her strong hand Teu was forced to fight the spider with her weaker hand. This did little to sway the skill of the Templar. Without much thought she felt herself fall into the dark reservoirs of the Force and killed the Spider.

==== Good Byes ====
Once the battle ended the clean-up began, Teu was rushed to the medical center. Her arm was set and casted while it healed. Once she was released she felt her husband calling her through the Force to come to their quarters. Teu knew what was coming as she stepped into their room she saw his bag. He was leaving and this tore at the Templar's heart. She walked down to the hidden hanger, bidding her husband good bye. Once out of the hanger she broke down, as did Darra.

==== Disorder ====
While her husband was exiled he managed to slip back to Tarthos and spend one night with his wife. However, their evening together was interrupted by Trev attacking Fremoc's mind and forcing him to leave the planet again. This one night together caused Teu to conceive her second child.

Months had passed and semi normalcy had returned to the Pepoi household when the order for all available Obelisk to come to Antei. A '''war''' was happening. Teu, against the wishes of her friends, boarded the shuttle and flew to the rendezvous for the Obelisk. There was her husband, after a quick welcome he realized she was pregnant. However Fremoc had news to share with those present. Araxis, Kano and Methyas were all related to the Prelate. Teu had a family again. While the others went to fight, the pregnant Templar stayed behind and watched the battle from the back line. Teu however did sneak into combat occasionally.

After the war had ended and the houses returned home Teu was summoned before the Quaestor and made the Rollmaster of the House.

==== Loss of a Friend, Birth of a Son ====
After being made Rollmaster of the House, Teu was delighted to learn that her husband would return and become Aedile. As she settled into the job she worked as adamantly as she could, Fremoc taking over some of the more rigorous duties such as training the new blackguard members. However the joy of having her husband back at home was short lived as he was named Fist of the Brotherhood.

This disheartened the pregnant woman as she was due to give birth to the child soon. She wanted her husband there. Teu remained on Tarthos for the remainder of her pregnancy and saw off many of its members for various tasks. Fremoc returned for a short time to take a blade, that only she had the say of who utilized this weapon, to go and help the regulators who had gotten into trouble. While they were gone Kano was killed. Teu felt the loss of the man through the Force and broke down and wept.

Most people came home and attended the funeral of Kano. Shortly after this sad occasion Teu gave birth to a son, who Fremoc had said would be named Thonas.

====A triumph====
After the birth of her second child, Teu fell back into a hard training regimen that brought her back into shape. She did not want any more children; her three delights were enough in her eyes. Plus, she couldn’t handle another child with her husband gone constantly on missions for the Iron Throne. Teu quickly created a new training regimen for the journeyman of the house to follow under her watchful eye until the time they were paired with their individual masters. During this time as Rollmaster, Teu was promoted to that of Obelisk Prelate. Soon a rumor spread through the halls of the temple that the House was being watched for the possibility to be a Clan again.

This rumor turned out to be true and on the eve of the new year Clan Naga Sadow was reborn. Upon the reclaiming of their former status Teu chose to become Quaestor of her former House, House Marka Ragnos.

====Parent's Nightmare====

Teu spent time between her husband’s quarters on Antei and her home on Tarthos; during one of her many trips to Antei a box was delivered for her husband. Needing to return to Tarthos for an important meeting and to resume her duties again, Teu had told her eldest son to tell his father to watch where he puts his stuff. Little did she now that the package contained a box and within several hours of her leaving it would blow, killing her son. Teu felt this loss while she was on her way back to Tarthos. She lost herself in her grief, locking herself away from the entire family and clan. No one bothered the grieving woman; she had taken a small trip to the jungles of Aethoran to spend time alone in a deep meditation. She needed to get over her grief if she was to continue building the House she loved. While in the jungle Teu was attacked by a large cat. This injury left her close to death on the floor of the jungle. Had it not been for her cousin Mirado, Teu surely would have died. Now all that remains are the scars of the injury. Needless to say Teu does not wander in the jungle alone anymore.
[[File:Teu-Meditating.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Teu Meditating]]
====Great Jedi War X ====

After recovering from her injuries, war was called upon the House of Odun Urr; they were a small band of Jedi who had been welcomed into the Dark Jedi Brotherhoods space. On the eve of war, Teu went before her Consul asking to be made the Rollmaster again as the last one had resigned. The request was granted, Teu had found her calling in the Clan and that was training the newcomers to become participating individuals.

During the war Teu kept on the ship above, most of the upper Sadows were on the ground fighting. Teu watched and assisted where she could from space though she would have liked to have been at her husband’s side but he was off on his own missions.

With the war now over, Teu and her house returned to their space. Teu threw herself back into her duties of Rollmaster instructing and setting up training regimens for the new arrivals. However in secret she was creating and planning a new ideal that would assist her in training this new era of Dark Jedi. Her project, the Schools of Learning, would soon be unveiled to the Clan.

Shortly after returning from New Tython Teu was promoted to the rank of Obelisk Exarch.

====Turning Point====
Upon the return to Tarthos, Teu took up the seat of Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow under her former Apprentice Locke. The pair worked together to instill harmony within the clan, however it would be short lived as Teu would be betrayed by her husband during a skirmish with the Sons of Sadow. Her oldest sons death was still close to her heart, this caused her to keep her children close. However that did not stop her ex-husband from kidnapping her son from her.

With the loss of her son, Teu decided it was time for her to leave the clan proper. Using the end of the conflict she stood in the Consuls office and turned in her resignation. She then left Clan space bent on going somewhere.

====Astray====

After Teu left Clan Naga Sadow she made her way to Clan Arcona. They welcomed her with open arms, however her stay was short. She was on a mission and that was one to find her son. She then took a ship and left DB space completely, but sent a person in her place.

====Return====

Teu’s absence from the Dark Brotherhood was brief. She chased her son all over the galaxy but could not locate him. She had kept tabs on her former unit Naga Sadow and decided it was time to return home and make a home for her and her children. She had given birth to child number four while out in space. A little boy, the last gift from her ex-husband, she named him Will. Upon her return to Clan Naga Sadow she become Quaestor of her former unit Marka Ragnos and worked with the rest of summit to move the Clan in a forward movement.

She was promoted to Obelisk Primarch at this time. She stepped down from all facets of leadership and remains in her homestead, near the former Pepoi Compound. She does very little in terms of combat but at times comes out to assist her former apprentices if they should need it.

== Character Information ==
Personality of Teu to Come!

Teu has long brown hair that flows well past her shoulder; she generally keeps it in tight braid down her back to keep it from inhibiting her movements. She is relatively lean and rather tall for being human female. She has a scar above her left eye from one of her fights from her younger years. Commonly she is dressed in a simple pants and shirt combo, generally black and gray themed with accents of blue, which draw out the depth of her eyes.

Teu carries many mementos around on her person. Her most treasured are dog tags given to her by her grandfather on her fifth birthday. These are generally around her neck or in a special pocket in her pack. They are never off her person if she can help it. The dog tags are kept on the same chain as the locket. The original chain was lost when her house was ransacked on Nar Shadda.
[[File:TeusLocket.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Teu's Locket]]

She also carries a small locket. She doesn't know how she came to own this locket but it holds an image of her great-grandma. Her son, her grandfather on her mom’s side, was a Jedi Knight during the Clone Wars. Inscribed in the locket are the names but they were scratched out by someone who had these lockets before she got them back. The locket is simple silver oval with a small hinge on one side; it has a matching chain although the chain is damaged.

These two items are her most treasured as they are the only thing that she has from her family that she can no longer visit or contact.

{{Quote|We are the final burning arrow in Arcona’s quiver, a roaring light that flashes for a moment before returning all to the quiet of darkness.|Celahir Erinos, Soulfire Captain}}

Soulfire Strike Team was formerly the commanding unit for all of Arcona’s Special Forces in the Army, dubbed Soulfire Strike Force. However, given the recent period of peace, Galeres’ and Arcona’s leaders decided to decommission the Soulfire of old, and reinvent the squad with a new, less formal purpose.

== The Basis of Soulfire ==

Soulfire acts as a wealth of experience. The Squad hosts several members with incredibly varied skill sets, and rarely act as a team. Instead, the squad suit the member loadouts to the mission they are given. It goes without saying that the members who’re admitted to Soulfire are thoroughly tested to make sure that when said missions to the squad are assigned, they do not fail.

==== Position in Arcona ====

Soulfire’s position in Arcona is an interesting one. The team’s loyalties lie with the Clan and their House above all else. There is little place for individual benefit. And whilst the individuals that make up the team aren’t completely selfless, as a group their purpose is very much altruistic.

Most commonly Soulfire is called upon in the direst of moments, their history and previous successes have earned them the nickname “The Last Stand” and this very much describes the team’s function within Arcona.

== History ==

Before the reform in 33 ABY Soulfire’s (then still known as Soulfire Strike Team) missions where highly controversial and therefore kept hidden from general public.
During the reform Celahir, with approval of Arconan leadership, had any and all documents pertaining to Soulfire’s past destroyed to ensure the team and Clan’s deniability of involvement in any of these missions.

Since the reform Celahir and Sashar have been working tirelessly to prepare for the team’s new purpose, establishing advantageous locations for the the team to meet up and working with the Arconan summit to establish a main base somewhere in Estle City.

== Directive ==

Soulfire’s directive has been and always will be safeguarding Arcona and its interests. Throughout its history the team has established themselves to be Arcona’s last line of defense, this does not however mean Soulfire is the sole party responsible for the Clan’s protection and instead they are mainly called upon in case everything else has already failed.

The unique composition of the team causes them to think outside of the box like no other, this has resulted in Soulfire having yet to fail to find the light at the end of the tunnel.

=== Motto ===

Further content pending competition completion.

== Headquarters ==

As a team, Soulfire needed a headquarters, following their position in the Clan, it’s aptly called “The Last Stand”.

==== The Last Stand ====

The Last Stand is the headquarters of Soulfire, the elite core of Arcona. What many think of as an exclusive and extravagant Ithorian herdship is in fact the home of hardened killers. Gutted and totally refitted in secret, the Last Stand can house all of Soulfire and their equipment in relative comfort. The envelope has been reinforced with flexisteel and potent shielding, all done under the guise of 'accommodating exclusive guests'. The welcoming deck is now a flight deck for shuttles and troop transports. A haven for the stressed elite is now a clandestine symbol of Arconan authority.

====Layout====
The Last Stand is primarily comprised of a reinforced armoured envelope filled with inert gas. This lifts the entire structure up above the Estle City Skyline as it carries out it's sedate tour. Shielding officially provides protection against airborne hazards such as flying animals, debris or storms. Unofficially, it turns the Last Stand into a floating fortress against attack.
Running below the envelope is the lower half of the command deck and the 'welcome' deck, a long gantry able to hold multiple craft in adjustable berths. Whatever is docked will hang out over empty air for quick deployment from the Last Stand. Connected to the gantry at the stern is the rear lookout and a sensor suite, along with a maintenance area for the engines. At the bow, the welcome deck connects to the command deck, formerly the hideout of the captain and his crew, now the nerve centre of Soulfire.
The deck above was formerly the resident's quarters and extends partially into the envelope itself. The viewing galleries remain intact, though an observer would notice that there aren't many guests seen looking down.
The refined dining room has become a simple cafeteria, the frippery stripped away for industrial fryers and a salad bar. The function room is now a presentation area and information centre for the planning and briefing of missions. Other rooms have been converted for the needs of Soulfire: A gym, comms centre, infirmary and a maintenance workshop.
Above all that, nestled in the envelope proper, are the bunks for Soulfire. Simple rooms with a small amount of space for personal kit to be stowed and maybe a little bit of decoration to make the Spartan bunks more 'homey'.

====Capabilities====
The Last Stand is powered by four gimbled engines, capable of moving the base in three dimensions at a reasonable pace of 100 Km/h, sedate compared to the countless speeders and spacecraft that flit about the vessel, but fast enough for a ship of its size.
The Last Stand can hold all the members of Soulfire and their equipment, with room to spare to take on extras if the mission calls. It's stores hold enough food and for 3 months in case of emergencies.
Powerful shielding protects the Last Stand from attack, under the guise of protection from environmental dangers. The nature of the Last Stand means that it has no weapons, relying on it's powerful shielding the carry the day. In the case of battle, the Last Stand needs to rely on the members of Soulfire and whatever they have docked at the time.

=== Strike Points ===

Strike Points are advantageous places throughout the Galaxy where Soulfire can mobilize.
At these places, the team has access to most of the tools and equipment they might require for their mission.

These locations have been secured by the team’s members during the reform:

{{quote|Manui Dat Cognitio Vires - Knowledge gives strength to the arm.|Socorra's Creed}}
'''Socorra''', born as Nim Naja, is from the [[starwars:Bharhulai|Bharhulai]], a tribe of savage desert nomads of the Black Sands of [[starwars:Socorro|Socorro]]. In late adolescence she was exiled from her tribe and taken in by and apprenticed to a failed Jedi on the path of atonement. After his subsequent fall and sudden death years later, she became a member of the [[starwars:Black Bha'lir|Black Bha’lir]] smuggler’s society. Over time she earned the rank of Master Smuggler and the prestige of an information broker, having fulfilled apprenticeship in everything ''except'' smuggling. Years later she traveled to the Shadow Academy on Lyspair to broker a deal on information regarding the whereabouts of Michael Halcyon, during which her Force sensitivity was discovered and she was offered further training in the Force.

Socorra is currently a [[Sith]] [[Battlelord]] and [[Herald]].

== Biography ==
===Black Banshee===
[[File:SocorroMap.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Map of Socorro]]
[[File:SocorranNomad.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Typical Desert Nomad]]
{{quote|They say she is a desert ghost, a savage beauty with the scream of a banshee.|Overheard in a local tavern}}
Bloodshed was a way of life. From birth every Socorran Bharhulai child was taught to defend his/her tribe and land at any cost. Outsiders that found their way through the [[starwars:Doaba Badlands|Doaba Badlands]] and into Bharhulai land meant to get there. The rotting corpses marking the Bharhulai territory boundaries spoke of those that weren’t. They were savages- vicious [[starwars:Socorro|Socorran]] desert nomads. A young girl named Nim Naja was one among them. Instead of cooking and other feminine tasks she chose to hunt with the men and defend their lands with the horde. Nim joined attack parties on desert intruders and subject cities, and as a female she was only required to cover her face when outside her camp. She had the passion of a warrior and no man stood in her way of joining the horde.

Her warrior skills were not entirely normal, though; Nim had a Force aptitude. Both her and the tribal council didn’t necessarily know what it was, but thought it was a gift from the gods. Though she had very little skill, it was still enough that brought a little reverence..and fear.

Starships, mostly from outlaws on the run seeking to lie low on Socorro, would accidentally land in Bharhulai territory and tribesmen would send a party to eliminate the intruders. Nim was rather skilled in this. Something about it was so.. religious. Seeing the enemy, and watching them cower in fear, or try to run from the savage warriors into the desert only to be hunted down like boars. She took pride in her kills. It had become ritual to allow them to see her face before they died.

On many attacks she nearly forced her way to the front of the horde. She was a vicious teenager. Those that lived could only tell the story of the ''Black Banshee'' – the clad female had grown recognition for her savageness and her terrifying shriek in combat, earning that nickname.

Over the years a darkness began to infiltrate her actions, though she knew not what it was. She became too careless and headstrong, and in her rage eventually lost control over herself. On one of the desert attacks, Nim, in her fury, killed one of their own, and had let one of the intruders escape into the desert with memories of her face and the bloody scar on his own.

===Apprentice===
It was a quick trial. By ending the life of a Bharhulai she broke the law of [[starwars:Aa’kua|Aa’kua]], of “personal space” and had also revealed her face outside of camp. Nim was tried as a male warrior would have been, as that was the way she lived. The young girl was forced through a gauntlet of her fellow tribesmen and nearly beaten to death. The young Nim was exiled from the tribe and sent into the unforgiving desert.

The broken adolescent was found by one of the few wandering [[starwars:Ibhaan’I|Ibhaan’I]] shamans and he took pity on the girl. Taking her under his wing he brought her back to full health, giving her his own meager supplies.

He knew instantly of her Force gifts and knew they had been used for violence. She was Bharhulai, what else would one expect? He knew some of the Force; he had been a relatively strong Jedi in his younger years, having come to Socorro to atone for his own dark ways, long before the great Purge. For him, helping the girl was an act of penance for his sins.

[[File:SocorroVakeyyaCity.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vakeyya, Capital of Socorro]]
For many years they traveled together all over Socorro. He educated her on what she had lacked from the savage tribe, introduced her to modern technology from the city, and instructed her in different cultures and languages. First and foremost, he felt it his duty to bring her back to the Light. As her master he tutored her in the Force and made it his life’s mission to make a better Jedi out of her than he had become himself.

As Nim grew older she began to separate herself from him and spend more time in the cities on her own. He was reluctant of letting her go and started refusing to. Nim had become his constant companion and he grew to love her much – too much. But the young woman had tasted freedom and longed for it, and longed to learn more than what he could teach her. He became jealous as her nights out grew longer and the days with him grew shorter, until he finally forbade her from leaving him.

It seemed that instead of the master teaching the student of his ways, she had taught him a few of her own dark lessons. His love became destructive and possessive and both began turning on one another. Nim was no longer a young girl, but a woman. She believed she should live her own life, not her master’s, but he began forcing his will upon her, among other things.

She had been banished to the desert for violating Aa’kua, and now was being chained to the desert for another’s violation. Nim Naja repaid him with deadly fury, eventually slaughtering her master in gruesome ways.

Once a Bharhulai, always a Bharhulai.

===Aa’kua===
[[File:Raava.jpg|thumb|left|60px|Bottle of Raava]]
Nim wandered the black sands of Socorro for quite a while, frequently spending time in the cities and eventually spreading her visits out and into the galaxy. She became a starport rat and listened to the conversations from the old smugglers and pirates, always enjoying a cup of raava at the counter in one of the local bars. Socorro was a haven for outlaws; the stories that they told were entertaining and seemed to become taller and taller the more they were repeated.

Nim was quiet though; she kept to herself and was content to listen to the information being passed from stool to stool, table to table. She would never have to speak a word but strange men would come up to her and start telling her all about their life. People liked to talk and brag about themselves. Bounty Hunting on Socorro was laughed at with blasters, and those found to be doing so ended up in the same fate as slavers. So outlaws had little fear when it came to laying low on the planet. Socorro meant rest and peace.

But not entirely. One man, years later after her exile, recognized the female. He recognized the Black Banshee. Sitting in her spot at the counter, minding her own business. He remembered, and his friends remembered, as he no doubt had told them some asinine story many, many times of his ‘victory’ over the nomad savages and the facial war scar he had earned. The assault was instantaneous; raven locks flashed from her seat the moment he made the threatening motion, and he was dead within seconds, his blood pooling on the bar floor. No one moved in the establishment.

“Aa’kua,” was Nim’s only word, nodding to the patrons and returning to her raava. Many customers stood stock still, some others turned back to their Sabaac game as if it were routine. Others reached for their comlinks.

===Black Bha’lir===
[[File:BlackBhalirSigil.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Black Bha’lir Sigil]]
{{quote|'''Never''' profit from the weakness of others. <br> '''Honor''' the vyvya. <br>'''Prepare''' the way of the Retribution. <br>'''Respect''' the right of aa'kua.|Nim reciting the [[starwars:Black_Bha'lir#Smuggler.27s_code|Smuggler's Code]]}}
The rumors spread spontaneously. Naja was approached by Socorran [[starwars:Black Bha'lir|Black Bha’lir]] members and was told that the man had been a former Society member. Nim knew of the Society, knew some of the members and its ways, but minded her own business. Smuggling just wasn’t for her. However, that didn’t matter to them. She was brought before a tribunal of Old Guards, where she learned that the one she killed had been marked for Retribution by the Bha’lir and that by killing him she must join the Society herself. She reminded them that she wasn’t interested in apprenticeship. Her interests lay not in smuggling and she refused to waste time learning it.

The members that knew of the Black Banshee spoke of her ‘talents’ from the Bharhulai nomads. Her skills were very useful, in either the Society or its brother crime organizations, such as [[starwars:Abdi-Badawzi|Abdi-Badawzi]]. After a discussion the tribunal assigned her to a specific job within the Society. They were going to allow her to do just what she had been there for, to hunt down those that were marked and provide the Rite of Retribution when other Bha’lir members would not. She was to serve in this capacity for one year before reassignment. Nim rather enjoyed it. Part bounty hunter, part assassin, she was still held in high regard as a Society member. It was the only form of bounty hunting that was legal on Socorro. She was given all she required.

===Master Smuggler===
When Nim obtained the high rank of [[starwars:Black_Bha%27lir#Bha.27lir_ranks|Master Smuggler]], she was given the option of becoming an information broker. She still refused the life of a smuggler, and running her own criminal gang within the Society didn’t interest her. A broker, however, piqued her curiosity. Since her exile from the Bharhulai, she had spent the rest of her life soaking up everything that she could from the galaxy, and she had naturally begun instructing many other members in what she had learned, and sharing her knowledge with the veterans for the benefit of the organization. This opportunity made her brokering official and it quickly became what she was most known for.

In her downtime Nim took on elite contracts outside of the Society, using her income to hire out slicers and infiltrators to garner information which she would disseminate to present to her employers. Her contracts varied between information necessary for bounty hunting to scorned lovers seeking knowledge of their partner’s infidelity. Generally Nim accepted contracts that paid well and interested her, but she was also known for doing personal favors.

Nim used several cover names since becoming a broker, as her Bha’lir activity was illegal in many star systems and during elite contracts she used many known and unknown criminals to obtain information. This garnered her several bounties, which resulted in her relocating many times to avoid prosecution. As she was born a nomad, so did she live as one on her own, a solitary and lonely life devoid of physical friendship and family. She became an information junkie, toiling away endlessly on the holonet, her nose constantly buried in a myriad of datapads wherever she went, soaking up like a sponge as much knowledge as she could possibly obtain to make up for such a primitive childhood.

===Yuuzhan Vong Invasion===
During the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong War|Yuuzhan Vong Invasion]], Nim physically kept out of the conflict, but was an integral part of providing and relaying information to and between various organizations on Vong activity. She went by various codenames and used her native language of [[starwars:Olys Corellisi|Old Corellian]] for covert communication.

===Dark Jedi Brotherhood===
During her downtime, Nim came upon reliable information regarding the whereabouts of the much-wanted [[Michael Halcyon]]. This required her to travel to the [[Shadow Academy]] on [[Lyspair]] in person to negotiate a price for that information. Once there, the Academy discovered her Force sensitivity and she was offered further training in the Force. Having neglected her Force skills and knowledge ever since her departure from her former master, she found this to be an intriguing opportunity and accepted.

She entered the Academy under the false name of '''"Socorra"''' due to her criminal ties and numerous bounties, and in order to have a fresh start; however, the young woman also changed her name due to the fact that the Bha’lir would soon find her to be missing in action, or worse a deserter, and send out their own agents to find her whereabouts. In short, she needed protection.

===Arcona===
[[File:TalosRescue.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Talos Erinos: Master & Mentor]]
[[File:Soulfire.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Soulfire Strike Team]]
{{quote|Ohna fulle guth!|Acolyte Socorra challenging Templar Talos Erinos}}
Upon successful graduation of the Shadow Academy, Socorra was assigned to [[House Galeres]] of [[Clan Arcona]]. On her shuttle ride from Lyspair to Selen, her shuttle was shot down over the planet Eldar. The ship crashed in the middle of a warzone, killing both pilots but leaving Socorra relatively uninjured.

Upon crawling out of the burning wreckage, her face was greeted by the barrel of the blaster rifle from the young [[starwars: Mandalorians|Mandalorian]] Templar [[Talos Erinos]] of the Brotherhood. She had crash-landed in the middle of the Brotherhood counterinsurgency operations against the forces of the Krikella Extraction Company and it was assumed that she was an enemy combatant. After a brief and extremely one-sided spat with the Templar, she was taken into custody by [[Soulfire Strike Team]] and brought to the ''Valour’s Fall'' for interrogation, where it was made clear that she was a recent graduate on the way to meet her new Clan.

{{quote|I just wanted to say bloody good job thus far.|Sashar Erinos Arconae to Socorra}}

Socorra quickly rose through the Journeyman ranks, intent on obtaining as much knowledge as possible. At the rank of Protector, she was invited to join '''Soulfire Strike Team''' for her myriad of skills and her sharp tongue’s affinity for odd languages. Shortly after accepting the invitation into the commando unit, the Galeres Aedile and honorary Soulfirian [[Talos Erinos]] took on the young Journeyman as his Apprentice.

Unlike most other recruits, Socorra did not immediately possess loyalty and devotion to the Clan for several reasons; her extremely analytical mind required processing and logical conclusions, her life as a solitary nomad made it extremely difficult to attach herself to any sort of group or family, and the murder of a member of her own tribe at her hand had instilled a fear in her that she could do so again.

These factors led to her entering Arcona on the eve of the [[Tenth Great Jedi War]] with large indifference to the Shadow Clan.

===Great Jedi War X===
{{quote|Come with me and witness how Dark Jedi prepare for war.|Talos Erinos to Socorra}}

At the beginning of the war, Socorra was her Master’s shadow, never leaving his side as he prepared Arcona’s Warrior House, Galeres, by rallying in the orbit of the Dark Brotherhood’s throneworld and then finally beginning the invasion of New Tython. She was assigned numerous intelligence tasks by her Master and Aedile, which she took to with great fervor. However, old habits died hard, and she found it extremely difficult to refrain from abusing her privileges to peek into the Brotherhood databases using her Aedile’s access. After hours of illicit information hoarding, followed by long periods of contemplation about her future and of her apprenticeship and friendship to Talos, she eventually decided to forgo any insidious actions and instead focused on her orders...for now.

==== War Begins ====
[[File:WuntilaHead.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Proconsul Wuntila Entar]]
{{Quote|This is '''not''' how war is conducted!''"<br />"''With all due respect, Your Honor, your authority was overruled.|Proconsul Wuntila Entar and Jedi Huntress Socorra on the battlefield of New Tython|}}

When they arrived at New Tython, Talos and fellow Arconans [[Kratus Vahillus]] as well as Novice Aveira Iraedi and herself flew down to the surface and collected a few lightsaber trophies to present to the Consul. Shortly after, they were called to the Forward Operating Base where Socorra was commandeered by [[Wuntila|Proconsul Wuntila Entar]] to assist him in Clan war operations. Upon Master at Arms [[Korras|Korras's]] orders, Talos left her in the Proconsul’s hands while Talos and the Galeres Quaestor, [[Celahir Erinos]], became loose cannons and accompanied Soulfire Strike Team to retrieve Consul [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] and Soulfire Sergeant [[Sashar|Sashar Erinos]], whom had both been captured by [[Arcona-Week2|Ge'tal Gaan]] forces.

[[File:GreatjediwarXmandos.png|thumb|right|150px|The Mandalorians of Clan Ordo]]
With the Galeres House Summit unable to command its House forces, Wuntila ordered Socorra to mobilize the entire FOB and prepare an assault on the Jedi capital of [[Menat Ombo]], the city itself the capitol of [[New Tython]]. There, they would both take to the field as the troops dropped to the Landing Zone and combat the combined enemy forces of the Jedi and the Mandalorian mercenaries that they had hired.

Having felled two Jedi in the onslaught and retrieving their lightsabers, she was given a field promotion from Protector to Jedi Hunter by Proconsul Entar, thereby skipping the rank of Guardian entirely. It was an extremely rare occurrence in the Brotherhood to be double-promoted, and Socorra accepted it with great honor.

After nearly clearing the battlefield, Wuntila once again had his assistant Socorra mobilize the Houses to enter Menat Ombo. Talos and the rest of Soulfire, successful in rescuing Zandro and Sashar from the Ge’tal Gaan forces, arrived in time for a war council meeting. Talos and Socorra reunited and she was invited to partake in the meeting and stay with the Summit for the rest of the war. After the meeting, the pair remained behind with the Galerian forces while Soulfire left to cut off a large contingent of Ge’tal Gaan Mandalorians coming in from the north.

==== War Ends ====
{{quote|She's a keeper, ‘vod. Don't let her go.|Sashar to his younger brother Talos}}

[[File:Oorooabbey.jpg|thumb|right|150px|On the top of Ooroo Abbey looking towards the central mountains]]
Before Sashar left with Soulfire, he bid farewell to the pair, apologizing for not having had the time to properly induct Socorra into his squad, as she had joined it just before war was declared. He promised to remedy this, but would never be given the chance.

The Galerian and [[Qel-Droma]] Houses descended upon Menat Ombo and after a near-thorough eradication of the Jedi from [[House Odan-Urr]] it was revealed that the rival Houses and Clan had come to steal the Shadow Clan’s honor and as such, Arcona was forced to then clash with them as well. In what would become known as the Visulu Market Bloodbath, Talos and Socorra paired together for the entire ordeal, wielding lightsaber and blaster pistols respectively, and saving one another several times throughout the skirmish using the master/apprentice bond that had been established throughout the strenuous weeks of the Tythonian conquest.

Near the end of the battle, it was revealed that the Ge’tal Gaan forces to the north, where Soulfire had deployed, were far too much for the elite, but small, squad to handle and were being overrun. The Clan and Galeres House Summit immediately mobilized and, leaving the HQD Summit to lead the final cleansing of the Jedi city, quickly left to retrieve the squad...again.

Upon the Soulfire evacuation, it became quickly clear that the Ge’tal Gaan forces were simply too massive an undertaking for the entire clan’s ground forces, let alone Soulfire, and a full evacuation would be necessary. However, the Ge’tal Gaan forces were moving too rapidly into the city, and orbital air support would be necessary for Arcona to pull out in time.

Unfortunately, inbound and outbound communications were being jammed and air support could not be requisitioned. Another emergency war council meeting was established, and Socorra, remaining silent next to Talos, watched as her Clan leader Zandro volunteered himself to a suicide mission to establish communications to the fleet in order to request the air strike that would give the Clan time to fully evacuate. After extremely heavy and emotional debate between the Summit it was decided that not only would he go, but his brother Sashar, her Soulfirian Sergeant, would accompany him.

The two leaders and legends, whom she never had the opportunity to get to know, were dropped off at the Ooroo Abbey to obtain and then protect a holonet transceiver long enough for the Summit to request orbital bombardment. The Summit then rendezvoused with HQD and ordered evacuation. Once the Arconan forces were clear enough of the city, Proconsul Entar had Socorra relay his order for the fleet to open fire as the Mandalorian army swarmed into the city where the brothers Erinos were prepared to hold the Abbey for the fifteen minutes that their beloved Clan needed.

Without pause, she relayed the orders several times to make sure they would be heard through the static. Within a moment’s notice, the fleet engaged the city and without prejudice, obliterated it from orbit, wiping out the rest of the Mandalorian Ge’tal Gaan army.

With this last act, the war was over.

===Quest for Knighthood===
Surviving the war would be one of the biggest trials that Socorra would face before Knighthood. It left its mark on everyone, including the Huntress, both physical and emotional. She sustained a few war scars from the various battles of Jedi, Mandalorians, and rival Houses, most notably three slashes diagonally across her back from a scourge as well as a small scar next to the edge of her right eye.

Her emotional response to the war was significant. While the loss of her Clan leader and Soulfire Sergeant didn’t have such an impact on her as it would her Master Talos, the Erinos family, and many others in Arcona, their sacrifice would leave its mark. A cynic at heart, created by a lifetime of working for and with criminals, and a solitary, nomadic existence in the galaxy, Socorra believed that honor, love, and loyalty were meaningless words people used so tritely. But she was utterly surprised to find that not only were they possible, but they were physically proven to be right there where she was at - right in the heart of Arcona.

After the war, she had a much brighter outlook on her future in her Clan. She took to her work with great fervor and was excited to become the Consul’s Attaché, where her skills and talents would be extremely useful. Socorra had witnessed first-hand the intelligence and wisdom of Wuntila during the war, and was honored to continue assisting and learning from him after he ascended to the Serpentine Throne.

==Personality==
[[File:Socorrafull.jpg|thumb|right|175px|Socorra in Port Ol'val attire]]

{{quote|She's like a fragging pissed-off Rancor - worse than '''''me''''' sometimes.|[[Wuntila|Wuntila Zratian Entar Arconae]] - Consul of Clan Arcona. (35 ABY)}}

Socorra has retained many of her old habits and is quite cynical with a quick wit and sharp tongue. She uses a lot of technobabble as well as holonet references in her speech, regardless of whom might actually understand anything she said. She colorfully cusses in multiple languages but will always fall back on Old Corellian in an emotional state.

Though she is socially awkward, her encyclopedic mind and near-perfect memory allows her to quickly bring up knowledge to the forefront which she uses to adapt to her environment. She is fluent in many languages, and while her encyclopedic knowledge of known species is vast, her understanding is limited mostly to what she's read or seen in holovids or in the archives.

Over the years she was most notably known as Nim Naja and Black Banshee, but known now only as Socorra to the Brotherhood. While she has embraced a new beginning there, it is quite likely that the past she left behind will eventually catch up to her.

==Appearance==
[[File:Socksmarickcute.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Socorra & Marick]]

Socorra is a bronze-skinned beauty, naturally tanned from a lifetime of living on a hot, arid desert world. Her body frame is lithe and feminine and her raven mane reaches her lower back in various lengths. She has pale azure eyes that tend to lock, stare, and haunt far more than a normal social being’s should.

She bears a couple scars from the GJWX, three long diagonal marks across her back from a scourge and a short scar next to her left eye. She gained three scars from the Arcona Family Feud of 35ABY, one across her left temple, breast and thigh during an ACC match with [[Teroch Erinos]]. Lastly, Socks bears burns scars on her hands and surgical scars to her chin after intense matches during the CHL. Other than these, she has two distinguishable marks, the sigil of the Black Bha’lir on her right hand and the Soulfire crest on her right shoulder.

Socorra’s attire is urban and sometimes punky, preferring to wear tank tops underneath a short jacket. She wears a skirt with boyshorts underneath with various types of pantyhose or low-slung pants and knee-high boots. Several belts grace her hips with compartments that house her myriad of datapads and tools as well as sheaths for knives and blaster holsters on her thighs. She often keeps a hold-out blaster or two in a back holster. A pair of bracers adorn her wrists with built-in comm and computer.

==Combat==
Socorra prefers ranged combat. Lightsabers have their place, but if a battle can be ended swiftly without breaking a nail, she will attempt it. However, she is slowly gravitating more towards melee and hand-to-hand, due to the confidence gained from the rigorous and effective combat instruction of her Mandalorian master Talos Erinos. She is always looking for physical or mental weaknesses to exploit and can on occasion become a spitfire when she herself is affronted.

Sith Alchemy

2017-02-01T03:08:36Z

Laren Uscot:

{{Eras|former}}
[[image:alchemist.jpg|frame|An Ardent Seeker of the Way, Set Harth]]

=== Introduction ===
This is an introduction to the methods of Sith Alchemy designed with [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] of the Brotherhood in mind. Sith Alchemy is both a Dark Science and an Art. Countless Darksiders have practiced the discipline, and it continues to evolve and be vital to this day. The accomplishments of the Sith Alchemists include many things designed to aid the seeker personally, socially, economically, or militarily.

=== Overview ===
The Sith Tradition has a distinguished history of being masters of the alchemical sciences. These powerful methods allowed the Sith to dominate the cultures that the various Dark Lords subsequently encountered.Interestingly enough, the Sith Cult was also able to absorb new technologies that they encountered later such as the [[lightsaber]]. This shows the dynamic and evolving grasp of the Sith tradition.

Be warned, the Art can be gruesome and terrifying. Perusal of the knowledge in ancient holocrons can be graphic and disturbing for the weak minded.
This is not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. This Sith Art has destroyed or driven insane many seekers of knowledge. Fortunately, we are Dark Jedi.

== History ==
For thousands of years the Sith Alchemists have magnified the power of the Cult.

The Sith Race had a tradition of alchemy even before the encounter with the Dark Jedi who had fled the Republic some twenty five thousand years ago. Ancient Alchemists such as Bo Vanda plumbed the depths of the Dark Lore of Alchemy millennia before the current date. Vanda actually managed to preserve her knowledge in a Sith Holocron, a topic we will discuss later. Vanda committed the most disturbing and horrific experiments upon her subjects and victims especially captured [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Those who seek her knowledge in a holocron are urged to perform the most ghoulish of studies under her guidance.

Later masters of the alchemical arts included ancient disciples like [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]], [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and Hafa Chun. Later, [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]] took up where Naga Sadow had left off millennia before. Hafa Chun created such monsters as the Sith Hound for her master Dark Lord Matih Jadoku, as well as horrible mutational battle Leviathans. Modern alchemists like Emperor Palpatine have found ways to incorporate current scientific thought and technology into the art of alchemy. The Sith continue to experiment even now….

==Metallurgy==
The Sith had a tremendous facility with the metallurgical sciences. Sith metallurgy incorporated knowledge of subjects such as cortosis alloys, Sith swords, and Dark Armor.

Famous Sith metallurgists include Larad Noon, Ludo Kressh, Belia Darzu, and Naga Sadow. Sith metallurgy is responsible for granting the Sith cult a considerable advantage in combat. Such equipment has contributed mightily to the fearsome prowess and reputation of the Sith.
[[image:Vadervscortosis.jpg|frame|Cortosis Weapon]]
===Cortosis===
The cortosis metal is one of the most obscure inventions of the Sith. Cortosis fibers and alloys have been used primarily in armor and weaponry. They are extremely difficult to produce. This also makes cortosis exceedingly rare. Very few relics of this sort exist today.

[[Cortosis]] fibers have the ability to harmonically separate the beam of a lightsaber. This causes the beam to refract upon itself and shut down. Lesser cortosis alloys are merely resistant to lightsaber blows, and do not cause cancellation of the beam. It is rumored that the ancient Sith Warrior Larad Noon had a talismanic cortosis suit that actually would drain the power cells of an encountered lightsaber but this is unconfirmed.

These mineral fibers are made form a black metallic alloy found only in a very few places in antiquity. These included Dxun, Ziost, Korriban, [[Sepros]], and an unconfirmed site somewhere in the Yavin system. All of these sites have now been completely mined out.

Modern scientists working under the programs of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Empire]] have found technological means of reproducing cortosis alloys and fibers. However, this process is extremely time consuming and expensive and thus cortosis alloys are still terribly rare in modern times.

The Emperor Palpatine trained and funded the Imperial researchers personally.

[[image:sithsword.jpg|frame|left|Sith Sword]]
===Sith Sword===
The [[starwars:Sith sword|Sith sword]] is another metallurgical triumph. These bladed weapons are composed of a secret mixture of alloys and Sith chemicals. Their creators then enhanced these blades using the[[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]]. A Sith sword retains it’s hardness against lightsaber attacks. The blades are also able to deflect [[blaster]] bolts and projectiles like a lightsaber. The edge is supernaturally sharp, and becomes even more so with the increasing Force power of the wielder. Sith swords could also serve as talismanic focuses for other dark side abilities and powers. Also, Sith swords do not require power cells to operate.

[[Ludo Kressh]] was known to have created a Sith sword of masterful workmanship. It may have served as a talismanic focus for other Dark Side abilities.

===Dark Armor===
[[image:King Adas.jpg|frame|King Adas’ Dark Armor]]
[[starwars:Dark armor|Dark Armor]] has been a part of the Sith Cult since the beginning. The Sith Alchemists found ways to increase the protection of armor and flesh by incorporating various substances and chemicals. Often, this involved expensive raw materials, time, and the expenditure of Force energy by the maker. The very act of creating Dark armor drew the alchemist deeper into the embrace of the Dark Side.

Other features could include prowess enhancing chemicals, talismanic Force powers, stealth abilities, or other technological adaptations. An excellent example is [[starwars:Darth Vader|Darth Vader’s]] imposing black[[starwars:Darth Vader's armor|armor]]. The Sith Lord’s armor enhanced the Dark Lord’s physical abilities, kept his shattered body functional, protected him and incorporated advanced sensor equipment. The armor was also environmentally sealed, and contained a functional air supply. The armor was also atmospherically controlled, resisting changes in heat, cold, pressure and ionizing radiation.

Lord Vader’s Dark Armor was burned when the Dark Lord was cremated upon the moon of Endor after his death. Much later, the possessed Jedi [[starwars:Kyp Durron|Kyp Durron]] left Yavin Four due to the whisperings of the evil spirit of Exar Kun. Durron sought remnants of the Dark Lord Vader upon the moon of [[starwars:Endor|Endor]]. Even after the cremation of Vader’s body, the remains of Lord Vader’s armor retained it’s potency as a Dark Side relic. Durron could sense it’s cold essence, even after Vader had returned to the light when he died.

Another fearsome female Sith Alchemist of old who had such modifications to her heavy Dark battle suit was Belia Darzu. Darzu was one of the Sith generals who kept the Cult alive before the Battle of Ruusan. Darzu’s armor alchemically boosted her strength far beyond that of a normal Human, and made her reflexes supernatural in speed and reaction time. This battle suit also incorporated a sealed atmosphere, as well as being a talismanic alchemical focus for the Dark Force Stealth ability. Darzu’s armor was lost, and remains to be found until this day.

The ancient Sith King Adas was also known to have a nasty suit of Dark Armor as he battled the [[starwars:Rakata|Rakata]]. Almost every example of Dark Armor was made by the wearer and taken with them to the grave. Very few examples exist today.

== Sith Crystallography ==
Crystallography is a subject that the Sith have mastered as well. The Sith Alchemists created synthetic crystals for many purposes. The Cult has also found the means of enhancing or tainting natural crystals.
One interesting aspect of the Sith tradition is the use of red lightsabers, the color of blood that the Sith so dearly love to spill. These lightsaber crystals as well as the infamous red pyramidal Sith Holocrons are fashioned in a similar manner.

[[image:redxtal.jpg|frame|Darth Andeddu's Red Synth Crystal]]
===Sith Synthetic Crystal===

The interested alchemist must build their own forge using plans available from Sith Holocrons, old Sith texts or from a qualified Master. Rarely, a Master may allow a learner to use his or her forge, but this is generally not the rule. Very rarely a functioning forge may be found or removed from its current owner or resting place.

These forges are a very complicated matter. The Sith alchemist must build a device capable of reaching high temperatures with precisely controlled conditions. These forges operate in two manners. The more modern method uses much more sophisticated equipment, and crystals must be polished and cut after they are synthesized. The second and older method involves using the Force directly to shape the growing crystal.

A method of synthetic crystal production involves direct use of the Force by the alchemist involved. This is the first method fallen upon by the Sith when they began to construct lightsaber crystals. This unit is a much simpler and smaller device that has only a pressure vessel, raw materials, a heating unit, and very basic controls. The operator literally uses meditation and the Force to lay down every single molecule in the growing crystal structure with the power of telekinesis. This requires a high level of skill, control, and stamina. Once the process has begun it cannot be terminated without ruining the crystal. This can take several days.

It is a true test of the power of a Darksider to fashion a crystal in this manner. These crystals are perfect when completed, and require no further treatment. Darth Maul used this method to fashion the four perfect crystals needed for his double bladed lightsaber in the novel “Shadow Hunter”. It is rumored that other secret methods exist to synthesize and alter crystals of other colors and properties.

[[Image:SithHolocron.jpg|thumb|Sith Holocron]]

===Sith Holocron===
The second method type uses a flux melt of different elements and a base powdered crystal of some sort. This forge consists of a pressure vessel, a furnace, a raw element supply system and an advanced data processor and control unit. Under high pressure and temperature the elements gradually combine to form a fluid melt.
A piston with a fine point is immersed in the liquid and slowly drawn out over a period of weeks. This slow cooling rate and constant withdrawal allows the molecules to collect on a seed crystal placed on the tip of the piston. As the flux is depleted, the new synthetic crystal grows to an acceptable size. A relatively large crystal can be produced this way, and is the primary method used to form the base crystal for the [[starwars:Sith holocron|Sith Holocron]].

== Sith Chemistry ==

The manipulation of matter with chemicals and the Force is another interesting aspect of the Sith alchemical tradition. The Dark Lords of old were able to manifest a variety of methods and effects, including mutations, cloning, and other disciplines. These abilities increased their might, both personally as well as in regards to military power.

Unfortunately, the experiments could be gruesome and lengthy in nature. A proper alchemist always kept exacting notes, and performed as many experiments as they were able. Only the truly powerful and well funded Sith could produce effects of any consequence. This manipulation combined with the influence of the Dark Side produced staggering results.

=== Cloning ===
[[image:clonevat.jpg|frame|left|Palpatine's Spaarti Cylinders]]
One well-known aspect of Sith chemistry is cloning. The Emperor Palpatine was known to have used this technique extensively, and had [[starwars:Spaarti cylinders|Spaarti Cylinders]] on Byss and Wayland as well as in other locales. Cloning allowed potent Sith Lords to escape the ravages of the Dark Side upon their bodies while maintaining their original abilities and physical appearance. The new bodies were prepared, and upon death or desire the alchemist used
[[starwars:Spirit transference|Spirit Transference]] to enter the new host.

=== Self Modification ===
Ancient Lords of the Sith were known to practice some unusual and fascinating disciplines. As we have all seen how Darth Vader was modified, it is not surprising to know that this art of bodily modification was practiced thousands of years before Lord Vader’s time.

'''Dathka Graush'''

One of the first known Sith Lords to perform the art of corporal modification was [[starwars:Dathka Graush|Dathka Graush]]. Over seven thousand years before the Battle of Yavin, Graush won a civil war on Korriban. He was a pureblooded Sith Lord of the old stock, and created alchemical zombies among other things. These zombies could spread through chemicals secreted by their bites, and they were always eager for twitching flesh.

Dathka Graush was most famous for other reasons. He removed his throbbing heart and replaced it with a Force-imbued crystal called “The Heart of Graush”. The crystal was rumored to make him invincible. It also absorbed the spirits of countless Darksiders during the bloody fifty-year reign of the Lord. It was similar in nature to the crystal that Exar Kun found containing Jedi spirits, except this one contained countless Sith. A later tomb looter in the valley of Golg found the Heart and was possessed by the spirit of Graush millennia later, illustrating it’s power.

'''Lord Andeddu'''
One of the most enigmatic Sith Lords of old was Darth Andeddu. This Sith existed some years back in Sith history, and was apparently a formidable alchemist. This was not uncommon for the Sith of the time. However, he was also a necromancer of unusual ability.

Even his given Sith Lord name suggests a connection with the vile necromantic arts. “Andeddu” can be semantically broken down. “An” can be translated as “not”, and “Deddu” relates clearly to “Dead.” Thus, “Lord Not-Dead” would be an apt translation from the old Sith tongue.

Darth Andeddu’s body apparently died as a result of his experiments and the corruption that always ensues with serious deep study of the Dark Side. Somehow the mysterious Sith managed to keep it vivified with black methods of Sith Sorcery. He later imprinted his persona on a self-made holocron and stored his personal synthetic lightsaber crystal within.

Many millennia later Count Dooku would send Quinlan Vos to the tomb world of Korriban to retrieve the holocron as a test. Vos and his companion Tol Skorr found the tomb and battled Sith Hounds there. According to rumor, Vos lured Skorr into facing the beast in order to recover the holocron.

Vos was ultimately successful in retrieving the holocron and brought it back to Lord Tyranus. Dooku then gifted Vos with the red lightsaber crystal hidden within, marking him as a servant of the Dark Side. This holocron would eventually come into the possession of Darth Sidious.

Darth Krayt summoned forth the hoary spirit of Andeddu with the aid of the holocron later in the Legacy era. Lord Krayt sought a way to stop the corruption born of his Voduun Crab armor from consuming his flesh. The wicked shade of Andeddu labeled him a heretic and refused to aid him whatsoever. This shows some connectivity of knowledge between Sidious and Krayt but the significance is still hidden from us at this time.

'''Lord Simus'''
[[image:Simus.jpg|frame|Darth Simus]]

[[starwars:Simus|Darth Simus]] is another example of body alteration and preservation techniques. Simus lost a battle to Marka Ragnos, and was going to die. Instead, he managed to preserve his own living head inside a crystalline casing. He existed for another hundred years like this, and instructed the mighty Naga Sadow in the ways of the Dark Side. As Sadow was one of the best alchemists before or since, Simus was an excellent teacher. He was undoubtedly a mighty alchemist.

'''Darth Sion'''

A Sith who also practiced bodily preservation was [[starwars:Darth Sion|Darth Sion]]. Sion was an exceptional lightsaber combatant, and may have practiced the arts of Makashi, Dun Moch, Shien and Trakata. Somehow his body had become mangled severely, presumably in combat. It is possible that this occurred during his training at the Trayus Academy under Darth Traya. Traya was known to be unforgiving.

He had found the ability to channel his anger and hatred, literally keeping himself alive with the Dark Side. He was nearly immortal, and his mangled body fed on his pain to make it stable. It is almost certain that he practiced some form of Sith alchemy in order to ensure his continued survival. It is a known fact that he had developed a life-draining attack of great power, and perhaps this supplemented his body somehow.

'''Belia Darzu'''

Belia Darzu was another fearsome alchemical Sith figure. This powerful Sith Lord rose to greatness approximately 1250 years before the Battle of Yavin. Lady Darzu was a master of alchemy, and a changeling to boot. She was one of the important intermediary figures between Darth Rivan and the charismatic Lord Kaan.

Lady Darzu employed a forbidden Sith power known as “mechu-daru.” She infected her opponents with nano-gene droids and assimilated them into her Metanecron army. The droids literally rewrote the genetic code of her enemies and captives and forced them into involuntary service as hulking part-machine beasts.

A huge portion of her army was also composed of undead, animated by her black arts. These included Dark Side walking dead, and the more formidable Korriban Zombies. Her Sith incantations were obviously necromantic in origin. It is possible that she had studied the flesh-manipulating lore of her predecessor Dathka Graush but this is uncertain. There is a certain similarity of flavor in her works as related to those of Lord Simus and Lord Sion.

She also had a set of powerful Dark Armor. Her heavy battle suit alchemically boosted her strength far beyond that of a normal Human, and made her reflexes supernatural in speed and reaction time. This battle suit also incorporated a sealed atmosphere, as well as being a talismanic alchemical focus for the Dark Force Stealth ability. Darzu’s powerful armor was lost and remains to be found until this day.

Unfortunately, Mecrosa assassins that resented her intrusions into Tapani space stopped her furthering of the Sith Arts. She was secretly poisoned and died. Roganda Ismaren and Blackhole were able to discover and utilize her ancient scrolls in modern times and use them for their own ends as “Emperor’s Hands.”.

This woman serves as a perfect role model for modern female Sith of the Brotherhood. She shows us all clearly that the Way of Power is borne of ability and not gender. Woe to those who fell in battle or were captured by this awful woman. Even in death, you would be made to serve her indomitable iron will. She truly epitomizes the Sith tradition.

=== Transmutation ===
Mutations are another Sith specialty. The ability to create armies of altered warriors was known to be possessed by several Sith Lords, including Emperor Palpatine, Naga Sadow and Exar Kun. Other Sith spawned creatures include Naga Sadow’s huge Sith Wyrm, as well as Exar Kun’s experiments with Massassi Abominations. These creatures are collectively known by the term “Sithspawned.” Fortunately of the galaxy at large, they tend to be sterile. After the battle of Ruusan, Sithspawned creatures became quite rare.

'''Silooth'''

An ancient example of Sith a mutation is the Silooth, a huge armored beetle-like creature. Originally mutated from womp rat-sized beetles, these acid-spewing creatures can grow to the size of a bantha or larger. The beasts are tenacious masters of destruction and ferocity. The ancient Sith Empire used these monsters at the Battle of Kalsunor.
The local culture proved to be very resilient, and was resisting the influence of the Sith.

The Silooth monsters were left to run rampant across the planet, and quickly destroyed any resistance. Unfortunately the monsters proved too much of a hazard for colonization afterwards, and the planet Kalsunor was subsequently abandoned. Later Dark Lords were known to keep individual Silooths as a prestige symbol.

[[image:behemoth.jpg|frame|left|Sith War Behemoth]]
'''War Behemoth'''

It is a well-known fact that the ancient Sith used a wide variety of creatures as weaponry and support for their land forces. The [[starwars:Sith war behemoth|Sith War Behemoth]] was one of the most imposing.
The massive mutated herd creatures stood from 12 to 15 meters tall at the shoulder. The quadrupeds could weigh in excess of 10,000 Kg. They possess thick hides with a leathery texture, a scale-armored back, tusks, horns, and coarse fur. They were used as battering rams, troop carriers, and platforms for heavy weaponry.

The shaggy creatures were natives of Khar Delba before being acquired and warped by the Sith. Sith Alchemy twisted the herbivores into omnivorous monsters. They will eat almost anything, including their opponents. The masterful Sith Lords were able to breed the beasts for many centuries and thus clarified and improved the genetic stock.

War Behemoths were often equipped with gun turrets strapped to their backs, possessed dark vision, and could swallow opponents whole. Their minds were easily mastered by Force wielders due to the manipulation and intentional weakening of their wills by the Sith alchemists.

[[image:sith_hound.jpg|frame|Sith Hound]]
'''Sith Hounds'''

Sith Hounds have enormous strength and speed, and a keen intellect surpassing that of a common animal. Spawned of alchemy and dark magic, this horned and twisted mockery of a hound can grow to huge sizes. [[starwars:Tuk'ata|Tuk’Ata]] are sentient to some degree, and can speak limited versions of the old Sith tongue. They are known to have extremely long life spans, and were sealed in tombs as guardians to await intruders.

These fearsome beasts with glowing red eyes are the stuff of nightmares. Created by the ancient Sith as tomb guardians, the horrid beasts continue to lurk on Korriban today. Even now, they await those who would plunder the tombs of the Sith Lords.

The Sith Hounds are jet-black, have four strong legs with ripping claws, a set of bug-like grasping arms growing from their shoulders, and four claw-like tendrils embedded in their foreheads. The arm-like appendages had stingers with a numbing poison that can be fatal. The murderous monsters also possess many rows of sharp teeth that continually grow, much like a shark’s.

'''Naga Sadow's Works'''
[[image:nagasadow.jpg|frame|left|Naga Sadow]]
Naga Sadow’s [[starwars:Sith wyrm|Sith Wyrm]] was a mutated larval space slug that provided amusement for the Dark Lord. Sadow added size and power to the creature, as well as both reptilian and insect qualities. The Sith Wyrm nearly destroyed Exar Kun hundreds of years later when Kun first traveled to Yavin Four. This attests to the power of the creature as well as its longevity and mettle. Exar Kun was only able to destroy it using a deadly Sith Amulet.

The original [[starwars:Massassi|Massassi]] race was altered by Naga Sadow to become fearsome combatants with an enhanced physique. They appeared as frightening vicious red warriors with an insatiable lust for violence and the ability to use the Force. The Massassi used weapons such as the [[starwars:Sith lanvarok|Sith Lanvarok]] and alchemical blades, blaster type weapons, Sith Amulets, and Dark Armor. Naga Sadow, who went into hibernation, left the Massassi slaves upon the fourth moon of Yavin.

'''Exar Kun's Creatures'''

Exar Kun was drawn to the moon of Yavin Four by the spirit of Freedon Nadd.The Massassi then tricked Kun into a battle with Naga Sadow’s ancient Sith Wyrm. Kun won the battle by taking up a [[starwars:Sith amulet|Sith Amulet]] and destroying the Sith Wyrm. Kun then destroyed the remaining spirit of Freedon Nadd with the amulet, thereby establishing himself as the master of the Massassi. Exar Kun then decided to experiment upon the Massassi that he had encountered.

[[image:Massassi.jpg|frame|Massassi priest and warrior]]
Exar Kun’s Massassi Abominations were a masterful manipulation of Naga Sadow’s earlier work. Exar was full of spite and hatred, and swore to make an example of the Massassi who had put him through his earlier ordeal. Using Sadow’s massive apparatus, Kun was able to enhance the Massassi genotype further by force. Kun sought a higher note of agony in the symphony of the Massassi physique. Exar was able to incorporate naturally dense armor in the skin of his subjects as well as other trait

[[starwars:Zythmnr|Zythmnr]] is a perfect example of one of Exar Kun’s most wonderful Massassi abominations. Exar altered the old Massassi priests’ body by fusing his skin with biometallic alchemical armor and a godlike physique. The Massassi’s hide grew from a thick hide to become hardened alchemical plates. His arms now ended in naturally razor-clad gauntlets and became vicious weapons of destruction. Kun then instructed the new Sith warrior in the potent ways of the Dark Side. This Massassi Dark Warrior slew many Jedi before being destroyed himself.

Kun also continued another of Naga Sadow’s great legacies. The Dark aura of Sadow’s temples on Yavin Four had mutated the local fauna such as the Hydra lizard. Exar Kun encountered these reptilian creatures much later.

Kun then experimented upon the beasts, altering their physiology further to become [[starwars:Battle hydra|Battle Hydras]]. He incorporated Sith armor alloys, making them less susceptible to damage from energy weapons and lightsaber attacks. Their mental state was also altered, as Exar made them quite susceptible to mind altering Force abilities. He also enhanced the toxicity of their natural poison substantially. Even millennia later, his spirit was able to command their descendants to attack Skywalker’s students at the Jedi Academy on Yavin Four. Unlike most Sithspawn, these reptiles were capable of reproduction.

[[image:chrysadliderancor.jpg|frame|Chrysalide Rancor]]'''Palpatine'''

The Emperor Palpatine was also a master of mutational chemistry. Palpatine created a horde of different monsters, and among them was the [[starwars:Chrysalide|Chrysalide Rancor]]. Otherwise known as the “Chrysalis Beast,” these monstrosities grow to maturational size inside enormous alchemical cocoons.

These creatures can be gargantuan in size. Chrysalide Rancors were first used against an Alliance strike team that had almost reached the Emperor’s inner sanctum on Byss. In his book “The Creation of Monsters”, the Emperor shares his evil thoughts on the subject of mutational alchemy.

'''Lesser Known Lifeforms'''

Other life forms have also been created or altered chemically by the Sith. The creation of Homunculi, [[starwars:Leviathan creature|Leviathans]], [[starwars:Sith warbird|Sith Warbirds]], [[starwars:Technobeast|Tecnobeasts]], [[starwars:Sith war worm|War Worms]],[[starwars:Korriban zombie|Korriban Zombies]], and Sith familiars is a lesser-known art. These creatures served as excellent spies and reconnaissance agents. Another fierce and little-known creature is the [[starwars:Terentatek|Terentatek]].
[[image:sithwarbird.jpg|frame|left|A Sith Warbird and Rider]]

=== Alchemical Physique Enhancement ===
Various Dark Lords have used Sith alchemy to enhance their personal physiques as well. Lord Vader’s armor contained Sith chemicals provided to him by the Emperor. These chemicals enhanced his personal strength substantially, as well as increasing his ability to heal damage. Belia Darzu’s suit enhanced her prowess alchemically as well.

These chemicals could increase the strength of the warrior in question, accelerate healing and negate fatigue. Lesser-known disciplines included chemicals to reduce the need for food and increase the dexterity of the user. Of course, they had side effects that could sometimes be ameliorated by the use of the Force.

Some direct applications in bodily mutations apply as well. For example, known effects included such things as multiple heads, armor skin, poison claws/tail/horns, dark side stealth, fiery/lightning/acid breath, extra arms/legs/other appendages, darkvision, tentacles, wings, increased speed/strength, and other changes.

== Sith Poison ==

And finally, Sith Poison is arguably one of the most famous, rare, and mysterious of the Sith Alchemist’s arsenal. This poison literally infects the victim with the Dark Side, causing tremendous agony and forcing the afflicted to call only on the Dark Side of the Force. This is traditionally used on Force using beings. Overcoming the debilitating poison is a lengthy and painful process, as the venom tends to linger in the system of the being in question.

Satal Keto used Sith poison on the Jedi warlord Ulic Qel-Droma. The poison clouded Qel-Droma’s mind, and tainted him with the Dark Side. The poison was instrumental in turning Ulic by helping to release his full fury in a battle with Keto. This battle proved fatal for Satal Keto, and completed Ulic’s fall into Darkness and his ascent as a [[Krath]].

'''Shin'ichi Keibatsu''' is a [[EQ4|Krath Pontifex]], former [[Proconsul]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]], Magistrate to the Deputy Grand Master, and is one of two founders of the [[Order of the Black Guard]]. He was also the [[Commander General]] of [[DSOG]].

== Character History ==
*Shin’ichi is fanatically loyal to [[Muz]];
*Shin’ichi is scarred both physically and mentally from a lifetime of war;
*Shin’ichi pilots a new model of starfighter developed on Kyataru called the Kiba; and,
*Shin’ichi has only one fear…nonexistence.

=== Origin ===

{{Quote|He is my greatest shame.|Koji Masurao, Lord of Kyataru}}

Shin’ichi was sired by Koji Masurao Keibatsu and born of a lowly house maid only two months after the birth of his half-brother Musashi Daraku Keibatsu. Illegitimate, his very existence brought shame unto the Keibatsu family. To hid the shame, it was decided by Koji and his wife Mariko that the infant would be sent away from Kyataru and the [[Keibatsu]] family, and that the maid would "disappear".

For a time he lived upon the Imperial Throne World of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] as a member of the Endymiron family. They were a strong and loyal Imperialist family with a history of service to the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]]. It was no surprise then when Dreven Endymiron, the head of the family was assigned command of a secret imperial design facility.

Dreven took his family, including his brother Daryon and his family, and began his new assignment. For several years the Endymiron’s lived worked and played aboard the facility, and young Shin’ichi, now known only as Tharivol grew up with his only cousin, Daihok.

=== Tragedy ===

{{Quote|Soon we shall have peace and order throughout the galaxy.|Emperor Palpatine, Galactic Emperor & Sith Lord}}

[[image:Shatter pistol.jpg‎|thumb|200px|right|Verpine Shatter Pistol]]News reports had circulated for years that the “war” against the rebellion was going smoothly and, in spite of the loss of the Death Star, the Rebellion would soon be crushed. It therefore came as a great shock when a Rebel raiding party emerged from hyperspace and began to attack the station.

Tharivol and Daihok ran to join a defensive battery but were turned away by security personnel. Their mothers found the two young boys and hid them within one of the shuttles, with orders to remain hidden. For several minutes the Rebels pounded on the station, but Tharivol and his cousin never lost hope that the mighty Empire would triumph in this battle - as they had in all others.

Then tragedy struck the two boys. The comlink they had been left with came to life with orders for them to depart the station and hit the hyperspace. Coordinates had already been laid in. Tharivol refused and was about to leave the ship when Daihok lifted off and took them out of the hanger, engaging the hyperdrive almost immediately upon exiting. Tharivol saw the station burning as the stars turned to lines and then the swirling pattern of hyperspace.

He would later learn that one of his closest friends, [[Sildrin Rys-Hastur]] was a part of the Rebel strike force that destroyed the station. Little did he know that he would have his revenge years later, when he participated in an Imperial assault that destroyed her homeworld. These two revelations cemented both a friendship and a deep hatred within the two Dark Jedi.

=== A Soldier’s Life ===

{{Quote|They deserve to die a traitors death...sir!|Tharivol Endymiron, Stormtrooper Lieutenant}}

[[image:CAC ID-6106.jpg‎|thumb|200px|left|Tharivol Endymiron: Officer of the Empire]]Hyperspacing to Coruscant, the boys would be picked up by an Imperial patrol and brought to [[starwars:Imperial City|Imperial City]]. There they were separated. Tharivol would not see his cousin for several years. He was to be sent to the Imperial Academy.

For years, as war raged on, and the Empire fought the growing Rebellion, Tharivol trained to be a soldier. Learning piloting, demolitions, small arms and heavy weapons skills, stealth, survival, interrogation, and all manner of the black arts of soldiering. Graduation came, and he was sent into the field. For over five years Tharivol fought for the Empire. When the second Death Star fell, and both the Emperor and Darth Vader were no more he retreated with the Imperial remnant.

With the return of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Grand Admiral Thrawn], Tharivol saw a means for revenge against the Rebellion, and joined in the campaign to retake the Empire. Sadly the remnant was to be driven back once again, once more fanning the flames of Tharivol's rage and hatred. Three years later when the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor Reborn]] emerged and attempted to seize control of Coruscant, Tharivol was again at the forefront of the Emperor's forces. Once again the Empire was to taste defeat at the hands of the Rebellion. While preparing to retreat Tharivol ran into his cousin, Daihok who had been training as a Dark Jedi under the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark Side Adept|Dark Adepts]]. Unfortunately the rebellion ran into both of them, turning the men into [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner_of_war POW’s.]

== The Brotherhood ==

=== Finding the Brotherhood ===

{{Quote|Your honor is loyalty.|Daihok, Epistle of the Krath Order}}

[[File:0160-warbanner.png|thumb|right|Shin'ichi's Warbanner]]Isolated from other prisoners Tharivol had only his own mind to keep him company, and his mind was in no mood. After several months the commando managed to escape after killing a guard on the night watch. He went to his cousin’s cell only to discover it empty. Tharivol swore to avenge him and made his way to the nearest town boarding a shuttle bound for Remnant space.

Shortly after landing Daihok found him and brought him to the Dark Brotherhood here he had been training as a [[Krath]]. Tharivol discovered he too had [[starwars:The Force|the Force]] deep within him and called upon the [[starwars:Dark side|Dark Side]]as if he had been doing it all his life. He would later learn that he had.

For years the pair trained earning the right to bear sabers as Dark Jedi Knights. Daihok ascended as [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] and Tharivol swore himself to his new leader and to [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The two created the [[Order of the Black Guard]] and worked tirelessly to bring glory to their house and clan. One day they were approached by a terrifying Dark Lord and offered the chance to train in private. Jumping upon the opportunity the pair left the Brotherhood for several years.

=== Reunion ===

{{Quote|Family is more than bloodlines.|Old Mandalorian Saying}}

As suddenly as he had left the Brotherhood, Tharivol returned. Slipping once more into the position of Black Guard to the new Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos - [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]]. Shortly thereafter a probe was intercepted bearing a strange message and the name Keibatsu. Nekura, his brother [[Muz]], the [[Sith Alchemist]] [[Macron]] and Tharivol departed to learn the origin of the probe.

What they found was an ambush by a rival clan and a party of Jedi waiting to destroy them all. In the end, the four Dark Jedi were successful in defeating their enemies and making their way into what appeared to be a vacation home. There a lone droid, which had been maintaining the house, identified the two known Keibatsu brothers and a third member of their bloodline. Tharivol Endymiron was in fact the forsaken child Shin’ichi Keibatsu. The forgotten brother had been found.

=== Service in Darkness ===

{{Quote|He has...no soul.|Unnamed Jedi Knight upon probing the mind of Shin'ichi}}

Retaining his position as a Black Guard within Clan Naga Sadow, Shin’ichi sought greater knowledge and power. When Muz was appointed [[Herald]] by the [[Grand Master]] [[Jac Cotelin]], Shin’ichi joined his brother as [[Praetor]]. When Muz was elevated by Grand Master [[Sarin]] to the post of [[Deputy Grand Master]] Shin'ichi once again followed his brother becoming a [[Magistrate]].

The position of [[Rollmaster]] of Clan Naga Sadow, would also be undertaken for a time. Leaving to focus more on his duties as [[Praetor]] to the Herald and as a newly appointed [[Magistrate]] to the [[Deputy Grand Master]]. He was content for now to serve the Dark Council and his clan as a Magistrate and Black Guard. But his clan would call on him once again to undertake greater duties.

Again Shin'ichi would return to the Position of Rollmaster of Clan Naga Sadow. This reign would be short lived as well for the Keibatsu would be elevated to the position of [[Proconsul]] of Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Going Home ===

{{Quote|I am the consummation of the Final Way.|Abomination, Shin'ichi's alter ego}}

[[image:Shin'ichi26ABY.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Shin'ichi Keibatsu]]With the Keibatsu family reunited it was time to reclaim [[Kyataru]]. For three months the Keibatsu family served as generals to a clone army that fought to retake their ancestral home. In the end the warlords that opposed them were all slain, and the planet was unified under the rule of the Keibatsu.

It was also there that Shin’ichi discovered a positive aspect to his status as a bastard. Even though he could never ascend to the Lion Throne of Kyataru, he could enact the ever vicious deeds that would bring shame upon a legitimate member of the family. It was during the reclamation of Kyataru that he earned the names “The Blasphemer”, “The Crucifier”, and “The [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/abomination Abomination]”.

It should also be noted that around this time, despite a growing darkness in his mind, or perhaps because of it, that he began to form a force bond with his sister-in-law, the [[starwars:Zabrak|Zabrak]], [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]].

=== Madness ===

{{Quote|We've all got the power in our hands to kill, but most people are afraid to use it. The ones who aren't afraid control life itself.| Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu}}

[[image:Sadism.jpg|thumb|120px|left|The Abomination of Kyataru]]The horrible actions he visited upon the enemies of his family, combined with the atrocities he had witnessed and participated in for the sake of the Empire, eventually culminated into the awakening of an even darker personality within Shin'ichi.

Recently the Epis has been wading deeper and deeper into the Dark Side. An unfortunate side effect is the development of an ever greater murderous personality trait. While normally the Krath can remain detached from killing, as a proper soldier should, when touching the Dark Side and calling upon its Rage he becomes what the people of Kyataru have dubbed "The Abomination". This characteristic of his personality is completely depraved and derives extreme pleasure in the infliction of suffering.

While there is no clear reasoning for the development of this psychological condition it is widely known that the Praetor has a natural instinct for killing, having utilized these instincts in his missions as a Black Guard and as an agent of the Herald. The popular theory for the emergence of the Abomination is that a lifetime of war has finally left its mark on an already darkened soul. In actually the madness is a familial trait speculated to have been born from some ancient fratricidal action.

== War of Shadows ==

=== What Sin Loyalty ===

{{Quote|What the hell happened to his face?|Unknown Journeyman before being slaughtered}}

[[image:Shin.jpg|frame|right|Shin'ichi in Real life]]When called by his brother the Herald to Kyataru Shin'ichi responded with all the others of his family. The Keibatsu disappeared from Brotherhood space, all seeming to vanish into the mists of their homeworld. A rebellion had arrisen from the ashes of the former planetary rulers. After a long and bloody campaign, the results of which remain unknown outside of the family, the Keibatsu returned to Brotherhood space.

When they returned, Shin'ichi, was horribly disfigured, and several more Keibatsu bore visible scars. The bottom half of the Abomination's face had been severed...by a lightsaber. None of the Keibatsu spoke of their experience, but all were visibly shaken. Shin'ichi now wears a mask covering the disfigured portion of his face and he speaks through a [[starwars:Vocabulator|vocabulator]] installed by [[Macron]].

The installation of the vocabulator by Macron was itself a fierce and traumatic experience for Shin'ichi. Macron did not feel the need to administer anesthetic and operated on his brother while the patient was fully aware and had complete tactile sensation. The burning flesh detected by his olfactory senses as the Alchemist cauterized the portions of the wound not burned by the saber of the Jedi, the crunching and grinding of bones to fit the cybernetic components, and the bonding process using titanium screws to secure the vocabulator are all burned into Shin'ichi's mind. On that day he learned the often misunderstood lesson of pain.

In recent months his mood has darkened further. Having seized the position of Rollmaster within Clan Naga Sadow the Epis is running the office with an iron fist, a radical departure from his once evenhanded approach to guiding new members. He spends more and more time delving into dark powers alongside his apprentice [[Sai Na'Ashar Keibatsu]].

With his appointment to the position of [[Proconsul]] secured Shin'ichi passed on the mantle of Rollmaster to Sai and has taken a new apprentice, Guardian [[Tsingtao Ming|Tsingtao]]. Working closely with both of his apprentices, Shin'ichi aspires to ever greater amounts of power and prestige and will use any method necessary to achieve his goals.

=== What Lies Within ===

{{Quote|I have seen the end of civilization|Xanos Zorrixor}}

[[File:160-dual.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Shin'ichi's Dual Sabers]]
The Keibatsu was still newly minted as Proconsul when the invasion of the "Far Outsiders" occurred. They struck hard and fast right into the very heart of the celestial body known as the [[shroud]] decimating the assembled fleets of the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi and causing the Autarch with the Grand Master [[Sarin]] aboard to flee to another system. Ordering a retreat towards [[Antei]] the Overlord entrusted Macron and Shin'ichi with the survival of his clan and legacy.

Little did anyone know that the "retreat" to Antei had been orchestrated by [[Xanos]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] so that they may save the tomes and [[starwars:Holocron|holocrons]] held within [[Kalekka Tower]] and so that they might defy the [[Dark Council]] in an attempt to rally the clans. Trevarus took this course of action to preserve his own vanity, Xanos on the other hand had chosen to risk the clan and defy the council out of anger that the entire Dark brotherhood had ignored his warnings about the Yuuzhan Vong.

With lies and deceit present everywhere the clans not only fought for survival against the Yuuzhan Vong, but they also amongst one another over the old rivalries. Enraged at Xanos and Trevarus, Shin'ichi left the ''Covenant'' and took off after them in his Kiba following them to the surface of Antei. There he crash landed in the Du'san boundary and made his way on foot to the tower just in time to witness the ritual of the Grand Emanation of the Emerald Daggers.

Confronting the Dark Lord and Dark Jedi Master moments later, Shin'ichi stood valiantly before them ready to deliver the Overlord's Justice. Sadly the Pontifex could not hope to stand against a [[EL3|Dark Prophet]] and a [[EL2|Dark Jedi Master]] together and he was defeated. In a rare show of mercy however the two conspirators decided against killing the Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow and instead informed him of their "true" intentions. Not entirely satisfied Shin'ichi returned to the ''Covenant'' just in time to help with the starfighter battle against the Yuuzhan Vong.

In the midst of the battle the Grand Master had returned with a small contingent of new ships at his back, but rather than organize a counter-offensive he ordered the execution of the [[Braata Option]]. Defeated the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi retreated from their seat of power within the old Sith Empire and made for their various home systems.

Enraged at the thought of retreat and saddened by the loss of his nephew [[Sanjuro]] Shin'ichi sought out his "twin" Ashia and together they vowed to return to search for Sanjuro and to wage a never ending war against the Yuuzhan Vong. A vow that was echoed in the hearts of the rest of the Keibatsu family, and of Clan Naga Sadow. Their humiliation would not last.

'''Footnote:''' For his courage under fire, excellent leadership of the forces of Clan Naga Sadow and his years of dedicated and loyal service Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu was named a Son of Sadow by the Overlord [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]].

=== In Suffering Salvation ===

{{Quote|Never Again!|Graffiti found all over [[Sepros]], Unofficial motto of the survivors of Yun-Yuuzhan}}

[[Image:ColGen.gif|thumb|110px|right|The Insignia of the Commander General]]

With the devastation of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion having torn the Orian system apart and the scuttling of the majority of the Clan Fleet Shin'ichi had his work cut out for him. Sai had been initiated into the mysteries of the Krath Priesthood, Tsingtao had earned his saber, and Joseem had returned from beyond the outer rim to resume his apprenticeship under the Pontifex. These developments aside the Proconsul had yet another apprentice under his tutelage, the enthusiastic and skilled Alexander "Xander" Anderson. He put these men to their tasks as they set about to rebuilding Orian and preparing the Dlarit Military.

First on his list was the establishment of [[DSOG]]. It had been decided that a special unit would be created consisting of the best and brightest of the Dlarit Military. These men and women would operate with the full knowledge of what their masters truly were. No more pretense would exist between the Dark Jedi and these soldiers as the Sadowites strolled the corridors of their ships and bases, lightsabers upon their hips. With Sai serving as the Clan Rollmaster his control of the logistical operations of the clan was invaluable in the creation of this covert unit, and remains so in its upkeep.

The next task to befall the newly minted [[Commander General]] was the commissioning of the new Clan Fleet. While Sai was an excellent analyst with a keen mind for strategy the establishment and operation of DSOG along with the rest of the Clan would keep him far too occupied to assist his master in this new task. That privilege then fell to Tsingtao, now [[Aedile]] of [[House Ludo Kressh]]. His keen administrators mind would be of great assistance to Shin'ichi and Macron as they apportioned the fleet amongst their protectorates.

Positioning two of his apprentices in very important posts within both the Clan and the military Shin'ichi was able to turn his attentions to Joseem and Xander. Joseem as it turned out had honed some of his combat skills in the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]]. His master was glad for before the mission they were somewhat lacking and Shin'ichi knew he would either return a better warrior or not at all. Xander on the other hand was showing a predilection towards politics and scholarly pursuits much like Sai had early on in his apprenticeship. He had no doubt that soon both of his fledgling students would attain their lightsabers.

The shroud of defeat still covered the Clan yet its Proconsul had emerged from conflict with renewed energy and purpose. He and his apprentices would be the salvation of the Clan. This, after all, he had foreseen.

== Something for the Pain ==

=== Darkest Knight ===

{{Quote|The Brotherhood was united with infinitely greater purpose in pursuit of war than we ever were in pursuit of the Final Way.|Macron Keibatsu Sadow, Consul of Clan Naga Sadow}}

[[image:Despair.jpg|thumb|200px|left|A Tortured Soul]]
In the months that followed the Great Incursion and the razing of [[Antei]] Shin’ichi and the Consul Macron began the work necessary to rebuild the holdings of [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The new clan fleet had arrived and with it a newly commissioned [[starwars:Republic-class Star Destroyer|Republic Class Star Destroyer]] aptly christened the “Final Way” by Shin’ichi himself. [[DSOG]] had been firmly established and bloodied in their first engagements against pirates and opportunistic raiders. Unfortunately it was during one of those missions that his apprentice Joseem had been slain leading a squad of troopers into battle. He was honored with a hero’s funeral on the same evening that Xander was knighted into the order of the Dark Jedi.

It was during the second month of the rebuilding that Macron announced his intentions to leave for the outer rim in search of solitude and to conduct his ever more involved alchemical experiments. He would return with many horrors not seen since the days of the old Sith Lords. In his absence [[Trevarus Caerick]] who was also known as Shan-Long would take up the mantle of Consul of Clan Naga Sadow. Shin’ichi remained as Proconsul and ensured that the defenses of the [[Orian system]] were ready should the far-outsiders return.

The man called Abomination by some had begun to slide ever deeper into darkness consumed by rage and a strange grief at the loss of Joseem. War had been his life and in that time he had lost many men but this one affected him more and drove from Shin’ichi the last vestiges of his Humanity. He looked upon the Clan with disdain and its members as puppets and children to be manipulated and used by fools who no more knowledge of command than they had of exotic cooking. So it was in his rage that Shin’ichi approached his old friend and resigned the Proconsularship of Naga Sadow to pursue his studies in the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side.

It would be his sister [[Ashia]] who would succeed him as Proconsul as Shin’ichi sought solace in the abyss.

=== Forever Knight ===

{{Quote|Even in the depths of pain, or perhaps because of it, he remembers his duty...to the family, to the clan, to the brotherhood.|Ashia Kagan Keibatsu, "Twin" sister to Shin'ichi}}

[[File:AbominationKrathRed.png|thumb|70px|right|Abomination Saber]]
Returning from his self-imposed exile to find that Xander had become the Aedile of [[House Marka Ragnos]] and that Ashia had ascended to the Consularship of Clan Naga Sadow Shin’ichi set about gathering his apprentices and preparing for the coming horror that would render the clan in twain. A horror he had foreseen in the deep black of space.

His most favored apprentice Tsainetomo had an apprentice of his own to boast about in the personage of [[Vorion]]. Upon meeting the Jedi Hunter Shin’ichi was impressed with the cunning, intelligence, and raw tenacity of the young man, even musing to Sai that the boy reminded him of Sai in the early days of his apprenticeship.

It would be shortly thereafter that during a sparing session with Tsainetomo that Shin’ichi would gain another apprentice in [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]]. As Sai and his master fought with voracity the humble Knight watched and studied. Shin’ichi had sensed days before a keen intellect in need of guidance and had known that should word of a battle between Sai and Shin’ichi be spread that that mind would attend. He had felt her enter and had felt her excitement rise at every strike and parry and every blow that would have felled a lesser being. In the end she approached and uttered two simple words…”Teach me”. Shin’ichi looked upon her and with the Dark Side enveloping not only he and Tsainetomo but Jade as well baptized her Zillah. He knew that her mind was a shroud and her potential barely tapped. She would be an instrument to be used for a greater purpose, and so his numbers grew.

But she was not the last. One more apprentice sought him out for tutelage, the one called [[Fenris]]. His was a power contained by the bottle of his own ignorance and he knew that greatness could not be achieved without a powerful master to guide him. Fenris abandoned his master Draken 'Ylith' Atema and sought refuge and guidance from the Krath Pontifex. Shin'ichi took him in knowing that the [[Jedi Hunter]] would serve his purposes as well as any other tool.

But it was when one of his closest allies came to him seeking wisdom and power that the circle was truly complete. Devani Maharet sought him out in private and swore an oath to become an extension of his will for she too felt the coming horror and knew that alone she would not survive, but with Shin'ichi and his apprentices her power would grow and she would live to fulfill her ultimate destiny. Shin'ichi also knew that her destiny was to be his apprentice for she brought balance to his entourage and was another warrior that would fight so that he might survive. And so they were seven, the number of perfection that encircled and joined with him in unholy communion and their power united would send the order of the clan into madness.

=== Cult of Personality ===

{{Quote|Ready to die?...I was born ready!|Shin'ichi to Eojin Quon-Shen}}

[[image:Shatter gun.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Verpine Shatter Gun]]Unforeseen even by Shin'ichi would be the seeming resurrection of [[Joseem]]. The Jedi Hunter had not been slain in combat but captured by agents of the [[starwars:Peace Brigade|Peace Brigade]] masquerading as pirates. Their insidious purposes were to study the Jedi Hunter in the hopes of exposing some inherent weakness in the Brotherhood as a whole. As a testament to his own skill and to the training methods of his mentor, Joseem escaped and evaded capture by the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] to return to what remained of Brotherhood space.

He would spend several months in a Bacta Tank recovering from his physical wounds. The wounds inflicted upon his mind would never heal.

}}'''Shikyo Sasuke Keibatsu''' is a Dark Jedi Master and the former Herald of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He maintains loyalty to Clan Naga Sadow, since it was through them that he discovered his family, however he does not forget his role as a Dark Councilor. Though he shows compassion, Sasuke shuns the ideals of the Jedi and continues to study under the tutelage of [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen Keibatsu]].

== Character History ==

=== The Mifune Saga ===
Born on the planet of [[Kyataru]], Shikyo did not spend time long with his family. In an attempt to exploit the political fallout of the Keibatsu family, a rival warlord by the name of Nagahide hired a [[starwars:Mandalorians|Mandalorian]] to kidnap the child and have him killed, exploiting the xenophobia of the people and heightening the fear they already held for the Keibatsu. Sensing the strength of the Force within the child, the Mandalorian kept the child alive to be trained and brought into his own clan. The mercenary provided the warlord with a separate corpse to conclude the contract and make his way to the planet of [[starwars:Dosuun|Dosuun]].

[[File:Mifune.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Bokuzen "Hitokiri" Mifune]]The Mandalorian made camp on the outskirts of civilization, hiding the offworld child away in an attempt to provide him with effective training. As time went on, Shikyo went on to know the man as Muren Skirata and would be trained in the ways of hand-to-hand combat, bladed and blaster weaponry, as well as the Mandalorian code of conduct called “Resol'nare”. As he trained the child, the Mandalorian provided the Kyataran with the alias of “Bokuzen Mifune”, stealing a name he had heard while on Kyataru. In 14 ABY, Skirata had left the child behind to help take on a job given to him by the Imperial Remnant. Bokuzen awaited the return for his guardian but after a few days of no communication, he believed that the Mandalorian had abandoned him and proceeded towards the nearest inhabited area.

Upon entering the city of Dilim, Mifune made friends with fellow orphan Tyriel di Rossaria, a daughter of a ranking Imperial Remnant officer who had been killed. From there, he had joined a gang made up of orphans and misfits who despised the Remnant’s presence and sought to remove them from their city. During this time, Rurouni had been utilizing his skills for the gang by assassinating members of the Remnant. He met Sakuya Koyotai while evading his would-be captors after a mission had been compromised. She would hold him up in her father’s inn while he conducted his missions.

During a local festival, a squad of Stormtroopers was sent to take out Mifune after they had received information that he would be attending. Instead of killing him, the Kyataran watched as his newly proposed fiancé was cut down before him. Holding her close to him, she dragged the blade of the man who had stabbed her across her beloved’s cheek. Since that day, the scar she left has been a reminder to the mistakes he had made in his life. Unable to stay on the planet anymore, Bokuzen got on the first transport he could and left for Coruscant.

While on Coruscant, he had begun to take up hits once again in an effort to keep himself above water. After completing a fair number of contracts, he had been tasked to take out a political threat to a senator from a system he was unfamiliar with. As he engaged the man, the Kyataran felt powerless against him, unable to come close to making contact with the individual. Little did he know that he had engaged in battle with the reigning [[Grand Master]] of the Brotherhood, [[Jac Cotelin]]. Instead of ending the young man’s life, Jac had seen the assassin’s future in a brief vision, sending him off to the [[shadow Academy]] instead.

=== The Arcona Saga ===
Proving himself a dedicated student and staying active in the Academy, Bokuzen was moved to [[House Oriens Obscurum]] of [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. It was here that he began to prove himself as a fierce soldier and as a potential leader. He would get his chance to lead when Bokuzen took the position of [[Aedile]], working with [[Quaestor]], Octavian Vareno. With this rise into power, Bokuzen was made the Legion Commander of Boral, allowing him some command over the forces of the planet, as well as House Envoy of Oriens Obscurum. With incidents occurring on the planet of Aranna, Bokuzen would test his abilities as a leader during the Obelisk Right of Supremacy.

It was during this Rite of Supremacy that Bokuzen would engage members of [[Clan Naga Sadow]], more specifically the Keibatsu family. After engaging [[Shin'ichi Keibatsu]] and barely surviving, Bokuzen changed his name to Sagara Mifune, in honor of his fallen mentor. After doing so, Sagara would take on the might of [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu|Nekura Manji]], surviving due to [[Muz Ashen|Muz]] stopping the fight after noticing the dragon crest on the Mifune’s sword. Afterwards, the battle began to turn against Arcona, leaving Sagara vengeful towards the Keibatsu.

Upon return to the Dajorra System, Sagara received the rank of Dark Jedi Knight and was appointed Quaestor, working alongside [[Halcyon Rokir]]. While he held this position, reports and images were shown that brought many to think that Sagara was plotting with the Keibatsu family during the vendetta. While the accusations were cleared, many did not trust Mifune as a loyal Arconan. Intent on seeking revenge on the ones responsible, Sagara went Rogue to exact his vengeance on the Keibatsu.

The former Arconan found Manji on the planet of [[Antei]] and challenged him once more to a duel. The One-Eyed Dragon would prove himself the victor and under instructions from Musashi, brought the Mifune before the family. After analyzing the sword, Muz decided to bring Sagara to the planet of [[Tarthos]], convinced that he may have discovered another family member. While on Tarthos, Mifune participated in a dueling competition held amongst the members of Clan Naga Sadow, taking first in the competition. Watching his progress, Muz decided it was time to put theory to the test.

=== The Keibatsu Saga ===
Taking the Knight under a high level of confidence, Muz brought Sagara to the planet of Kyataru, the home of the Keibatsu. Along with the entire family, Sagara began to learn more and more about the family and their origins. Once they had arrived to [[Kuroshin]] Castle, they began to make their way to the ruins of the Keibatsu homestead. Making their way down into the ruins, Sagara picked up what looked like a communication device, which confirmed his DNA to match that of Shikyo Keibatsu. He also learned that the sword he thought belonged to his former master had belonged to him all along. Accepting the truth, Sagara took on his true name and returned a Keibatsu and loyal member of Naga Sadow. [[File:Shikyo2.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Shikyo 26 ABY]]
Returning to the Orian system, Shikyo began his ascension amongst the leadership ranks of his new clan, taking command of the [[Night Raptors]] and utilizing them as a stealth strike force in the upcoming vendetta against Clans [[Scholae Palatinae]] and [[Plagueis]]. It was here that he began to develop many bonds of brotherhood with his fellow clanmates, even being honored with a great warhammer from his friend Eldrad Sin. Assistng with a plan devised by the tacticians of Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]], they would claim victory over their opponents. However, a disturbance on Kyataru would call Shikyo from one battlefield to another.

=== Reclamation of Kyataru ===
Arriving at Kuroshin Castle, Shikyo began to make his way towards the western front, approaching the first castle. Combining the strength of the armies of [[Xia Long]], Manji, and Shikyo, the battle caused General Mieji to retreat from his base and regroup with those of General Misoshime. After routing the armies, they moved towards the remains of the Keibatsu homestead. It was here that they encountered General Tokumitsu and with the assistance of Shimura Keibatsu, were able to push him back towards the southern front.

[[File:Shikyo's Katana.jpg|thumb|75px|right|Shikyo's Yoshimitsu Toshiro katana]] With a moment to rest during the campaign, Shikyo began to get more acquainted with his older brother before continuing on, killing General Mieji and moving south towards Generals Tokumitsu and Kamateru. Before the battle began, they received new reinforcements of Nihilgenia from [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu|Ashia Kagan]]. With the two generals defeated, the Keibatsu family attempted negotiations for the surrender of the enemy forces led by Nagahide. The negotiations failed and in return, the Keibatsu struck in full force again Nagahide, wiping out his forces and forcing an unconditional surrender. While raiding through Nagahide’s castle, Shikyo claimed a sword set that had formerly belong to the Keibatsu family, as well as many bottles of fine Kyataran rice wine. As soon as the spoils of war were claimed, the Keibatsu returned to assist in the 7th Great Jedi War.

=== The Naga Sadow Saga ===
Upon rejoining the Night Raptors, Shikyo demonstrated astounding skills in espionage, leadership, and Force knowledge. For all of this, he was promoted to Sith Warrior and appointed to the position of Aedile of House Marka Ragnos. He assisted in aerial raids to assist Clan Naga Sadow during their campaign, and helping to bring an end to the war for his clan. Afterwards, the Sith returned to Kyataru for intense training in the Force and in sword arts, receiving the title of “Wolf of Kyataru” from his eldest sibling.

After claiming a new flagship, the Consul, Proconsul, and Quaestors of Naga Sadow disappeared without any trace. With the head leaders gone, Shikyo and his fellow Aedile, Xayun Erinos, answered the call of [[Darth Vexatus]] to reclaim the true [[Sword of Sadow]] from the former home system of the clan, the Phare system. With the [[VSD Covenant]] under their command, the three gathered the clan together to engage the forces of the Emperor’s Hammer.

Shikyo and Nekura landed on the planet’s surface and engaged recruits and security systems placed by their adversary. There, they claimed any items of importance while Vexatus moved to retrieve the sword. Once he had claimed it, the Aediles and the higher Equites assisted with the retreat, holding back the incoming forces. With the higher leaders returning to the clan, the forces pulled out of the Phare system. Due to his actions during the engagement, many in the clan referred to Shikyo as the “ass kicker of the Phare system.”

Returning from the Phare system, Derev appeared changed by the events that had occurred. After stepping down from the position, Shikyo ascended to the command of House Marka Ragnos and began to train the Journeyman for a new Rite of Supremacy with Ylith Atema. However, a distress call from Kyataru would take the Sith’s attention, as well as a disturbance felt from the Unknown Regions. With the situation on Kyataru slightly settled, the Equite traveled to the Unknown Regions to investigate the disturbance. What he discovered was a planet of low-level Force sensitives, taking [[Faeril Munlear]] from that planet.

Acknowledging his many adventures and neglect to duties, Shikyo stepped down to allow his former master, Quejo Drakai, to assume the position of Quaestor. With more time on his hands, Shikyo began to delve deeper into the Sith arts by traveling to the [[starwars:Sith Arts Academy|Sith Arts Academy]] on the planet of [[starwars:Thule|Thule]] with Faeril. It was here that Shikyo encountered the Headmistress, [[starwars:Drevveka Hoctu|Drevveka Hoctu]]. Her means of instructing through heavy usage of the Force for survival taught the Keibatsu many ways of manipulating the Force. These lessons also affected the look of his eyes during times of extreme duress, changing them to a deep crimson color.

[[File:Herald Shikyo.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Shikyo 28 ABY]]

=== The Herald Saga ===
After training extensively, Shikyo would rejoin his clanmates for the Rite of Supremacy and was there when the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] began their assault on Antei. With no experience against an enemy such as the Vong, the Keibatsu only managed to kill a few and evaded many he encountered. Disheartened by the fact he had to retreat, Sasuke’s aggression and training reached an all time high. He furthered his knowledge of the Sith arts, as well as refining his lightsaber skills. During the time after the Battle of Antei, the Herald had gone missing. As soon as he could, Shikyo went before the Grand Master, [[Aristan Dantes|Darth Sarin]], and proved his worth to him to take up the mantle of Herald.

This provided access to Shikyo on the knowledge of infusing the dark side in lightsabers, helping him to learn greater abilities in the Force. It was during his tenure as Herald that the Keibatsu began to seek knowledge with a passion, turning him from the ways of the Sith and towards those of the Krath. With Antei still occupied, Shikyo continued to train and perfect his sword arts on Misahide Castle on Kyataru.

When the Grand Master called for his Council and informed them of the plan to retake Antei, Sasuke awaited eagerly to prove his might against the horde that had previously swarmed their home. However, Shikyo was surprised to find droids and Jedi in place of the Yuuzhan Vong. Angered that the Jedi had taken away his chance at revenge, the Herald decided to go to the planet’s surface in clearing the Dark Hall of the filth that had taken it. It was here that he confronted both a dying Yuuzhan Vong slayer as well as a Kel Dor Jedi Master.

Satisfied with the death of both, the Keibatsu continued to move towards the Dark Hall, securing its treasures from possible destruction. With his eldest brother on the [[Iron Throne]], Sasuke returned to the Orian system and got re-acquainted with the members of the clan. During a night of drinking, Shikyo was taken captive by a female Jedi, along with a couple of Yuuzhan Vong accompanied by members of the Peace Brigade. As a group of dark Jedi from the clan moved to rescue the Herald, Shikyo had taken advantage of the chaos they had stirred, killing the three Vong unarmed and taking the female Jedi back to Misahide in the hopes of turning and training her.[[File:ShikWepsVer2.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Shikyo's swords and Award Weapons]]

=== The Elder Saga ===
After capturing the female Jedi, a call was sent out to the Dark Council to return to their home clans for an upcoming vendetta on a distant planet known as Salas V. Though hesitant to return to Naga Sadow, he returned to the clan and fought alongside their new members, acting as an advisor to the leadership. While on the battlefield, he had fought against numerous Dark Jedi he once fought along side and even trained under. For his guidance and assistance to the members of Naga Sadow, the Sons deemed him worth to bear the title of Son of Sadow. As soon as his services were no longer required, he returned back to Kyataru to a mission of extreme importance.

[[File:Encased Pistols.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Shikyo's twin "Silver Wolf" pistols]]Converting the female Jedi named Eliria Krishnaya over to the Dark Side, Shikyo utilized the young woman’s knowledge to obtain information from the New Republic. One of the things he obtained were various files of Jedi Order members. As he was finalizing the information obtained, he felt a disturbance in the Force, soon after receiving a vision. The young woman had been captured during a mission and held in the bowels of the Sith Arts Academy.

Returning to the nightmare he faced as a Sith Warrior, Shikyo encountered a new Headmaster along with new disciples at the Academy. Defeating all who stood before him, the Herald took on the Headmaster, an Adept by the name of Tu’rak Haimon, in an area newly developed in the Academy known as the Headmaster’s Sanctuary. During the battle, the Adept had done heavy damage to the Pontifex, burying the Keibatsu’s own saber into his ribs, as well as throwing him into a granite wall. Through his training under the Dark Lord of the Sith, the Kyataran was able to defeat his opponent and was ascended to the rank of Dark Side Adept for his devotion and commitment to the Brotherhood.

Though he had the powers of the Elder Class, Shikyo felt it was more necessary to keep his abilities and identity hidden from the rest of the galaxy. Utilizing Eliria as his hand and replacing his swords for blaster pistols, the Herald had changed his mindset from his more Kyataran beliefs to something more conventional. Training alongside the Nihilgenia, he obtained a higher level of skills and greater proficiency with blaster weaponry.
[[File:Shikyo Full.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Shikyo on Salas V]]

=== The Betrayal Saga ===

During a routine enforcement on one of the islands of the Kane’ohe Archipelago, Shikyo lost contact of Eliria and to this day has not determined her fate. He investigated her disappearance before eventually leading to a connection between security breaks occurring within not only Kyataru but also within the Sepros system. Returning to CNS-controlled space, the Keibatsu made the discovery that a couple of Jedi remaining from the Battle of Antei were breaching security in an effort to attack members of the Dark Council and Dark Summit. His investigation led him back to a battle ruined San Korinar where he discovered that his former fiancée, Sakuya Koyotai, had been alive all along and had become a Jedi Master.

It was here that he learned of the fate of Eliria Krishnaya; that she had been converted to the light by Koyotai and was serving as her Padawan. Though the Jedi had escaped before the Keibatsu could deal with them, Shikyo began to make preparations to track them down and exterminate them. However, he was called away by his eldest brother to re-establish business connections that the Brotherhood had used in order to maintain their financial security. While on one of his missions in Coruscant, the Elder was attacked by two members of Clan Naga Sadow’s Black Guard. Enraged at the attempt on his life from his former Clan, the Keibatsu sought out the Overlord of Naga Sadow.

Using the Force and his connection to track down Tron Sadow in his estate, Sasuke confronted the Dark Jedi Master and his family as to why the Guardsmen had attacked him. Sensing the anger and confusion in Tron, Shikyo left with a warning to kill the Overlord if another attempt on his life was made. Uncertain of who in the Clan would attempt to assassinate him, Shikyo removed the title of “Sadow” from his name and continued on his mission for the Iron Throne.

'''Shi''' is the ancient homeworld of the [[Valheru (Species)|Valheru]] race. This page details the planet how it has been in its prime, before the raider fleet destroyed the surface of the planet and the species living upon it.

The Planet lies within the Sollet System, which lies within the uncharted regions northwest of the Deep Core and Northwest of the planet Mobus, lying on the edge. The system is surrounded by a thick green cloud also known as the Emerald Veil, which ensured the safekeeping of the planet during various territorial wars before the age of the Old Republic. Found per coincidence, the Raider Fleet saw the Valheru as barbaric and conducted a major genocide upon the planet, robbing it of all life.

It is said that the Valheru themselves have found a new planet somewhere else, but this has not been confirmed yet by any reliable source, until then, Shi is still considered the Homeworld of the Valheru.

{{Quote|Such pure beauty lost within the river of time for all eternity. I remember it's beauty, unmatched by any planet within this galaxy. |Draken Elariël - ''Last Valheru Pureblood''}}

=Shi=

==Location==

The Planet Shi lies within the Unknown Regions, uncharted regions of space Northwest of the Deep Core. Southwest of the planet Mobus lies a thick toxic cloud and is a very dangerous place to fly through. This large toxic cloud shrouding the planet is also as the Emerald Veil, this for the emerald green color it has and its thickness. The Radiationlevel is high enough to eat its way through any hull and Even with modern technology and shielding, it’s still not recommended to fly through the veil.

Because of its heavy radiation levels, it disrupted any way of scanning and any scouting force through it for millennia of time. This protected Shi from alien invaders so that it could remain hidden for ages. There have been few noted visits to Shi during the ages, the last noted in the history pages were dated back to the birth of the Old Republic, where a small raider fleet visited the planet and engaged in a full scale assault against the Planet's people.

About one light-year behind the Emerald Veil lies the Sollet system, a small system that could be easily hidden behind the large green cloud. The fourth planet of that system is Shi, in modern times a wasteland planet, but once was a planet full of life.

==Planet info==

The Planet orbits one sun and is the fourth planet of the system. It has two moons orbiting around the planet, one called ‘Silivren’, which means ‘Silver’ in native tongue of the [[Valheru (Species)|Valheru]] , and the other called ‘Amlug’, or ‘Dragon’ in native.

The diameter of the planet is approximately 9.432 kilometer and is considered to be a medium classed planet. A year on Shi exists of four-hundred and twelve days, because of this the planet’s climates vary throughout five additional seasons. Winter, Spring, Summer, Rain Season and Fall. Temperatures range from -24 degrees Celsius to a 65 degrees Celsius.

The Atmosphere of the planet has a high oxygen content with little other gasses. Though the Oxygen level is still below the toxic threshold, it’s advised to bring breathing masks when visiting the planet.

==Surface==
[[Image:WorldMapShi.jpg|thumb|250px|left|World Map of Shi (click to enlarge)]]

The Planet's surface is covered mostly with water, and has two large landmasses. The Smaller landmass, Ishrai, was a barren and mountainous waves cover the land. While the larger continenet, Ceria Isliana, was rich with plant life and had large grass plains. Bwtween the two large landmasses are endless oceans, rich with life. The planets hot and oxygen rich climate caused the melting of the polar caps centuries before any sentient being walked upon Shi, this made only the two larger landmasses rise from the oceans.

The Ocean east of Ishrai and west of Ceria Isliana is called 'Ecienamar' or ' Endless Water' and the ocean west of Ishrai and east of Ceria Isliana is called 'Erum Duriël' or 'Heavens Tears' as the sea is wild and hard to sail through.

During the attack by the raider fleet last visiting Shi, they bombarded most of the planet from space, dessimating the planet, causing the smaller continent to be filled with Vulcano's, eradicating all signs of life. While the green plains of Ceria Isliana were scorched it's rick forests burned.
[[Image:IshraiMap.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Detailed Map of Ishrai (click to enlarge)]]

===Ishrai===

Ishrai, meaning 'Land of Fire' in Valheru tongue, is the smaller one of the two continents, it's surface is rugged and barren, covered with mountains and craters. There was one large canyon running from the south of the continent all the way up to the north. Within it the Valkyri lived for millennia. With their birdlike behaviour and hive like hierarchy, they formed a huge group that worked together in order to guarantee their survival.

There were no true cities found of the Valkyri, only a large labyrinth of tunnels and caves within the canyon, which was considered their capital. Through this canyon runs a large river, eventually flowing into a large lake at the south of the continent. The native species dug trenches to guide the stream of water through the caverns in the canyon, creating a waterway through their tunnels so fresh water could be supplied where needed.

This very day, the continent is scorched and filled with volcanos throwing poisonous gasses over the lands and acids into the water, and decimated any possibilities of life.

[[Image:CeriaIslianaMap2.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Detailed Map of Ceria Isliana (click to enlarge)]]

===Ceria Isliana===

The larger continent of the two is called Ceria Isliana, 'Green Ocean' in native Valheru tongue. This larger continent is home to the Valheru, who built several large cities scattered on the lands. The north of the lands are rugged, large mountains separate the cold north with the warmed middle part of the continent. The North is called 'Sharan Heren Imhar' or 'Lord Valheru's Embrace' in native tongue. The name is in reference to the mountains to the south and the sea to the north, creating a natural bottleneck. The middle is called 'Cerianes Ish' or 'Emerald Flame' in native and is covered with a huge grass plain with hills and small forests across it. To the west is a large canyon called 'Eranor Remiël' or 'Deadeye Cliff' in native, often used by the dragonriders for training as the massive towers of solid rock who cover the bottom of the canyon are often dangerous.

In the east are small forests and mountainsides that work as a barrier between land and sea. South of the great grass plain is the 'Buriën Eruwa' or 'Forest of Eruwa' as they called it. It is a very dense forest that covers a large portion of land. The Forest stands as a massive border between the Valheru and the Valkyri. Though sometimes conflicts arise when the border is crossed, it keeps both races at bay. At the southernmost tip is the Valkyri stronghold of Calagnasan and houses a large Valkyri made canyon that houses them.

=Great Valheru Cities=

==Erundwyr==

'''Erundwyr''' is a citadel city of the Valheru and located at the southern area of Ceria Isliana. This great city serves as a border watch, overlooking the great Forest of Buriën Eruwa, a gigantic rainforest that serves as a natural barrier between the Valkyri living on the continent and the Valheru. Sometimes raiding parties trying to plunder for resources manage to travel through the woods and into Valheru land, butthey are quickly picked up by patrols from Erundwyr or reported by the neighbouring towns of Grewen and Gradur. When the band threatened a nearby town the Silivren Amlug, an elite group of Dragonriders, would intercept them and deal with them easily.

A special feature of the city is the two large mountains at its back. These rock formations were hollowed out and used as a 'stable' for Dragons and Dragonmounts. The top of these mountains were open so the dragonriders could simply mount their dragons and fly through the roof outside and have an instant strategic vision over the lands.

The City was mostly divided into four separate parts. The part to the west was considered the poor quarters, where people with not a lot of money could live and help their cumminity. Although the poor cannot survive on their own, they do whatever thay can to serve their Lord Valheru and in return he blesses them with a roof and decent food. To the east is the market area, each day the markets would be filled with wagons and stands selling various wares. If one was looking for something special, he would find it there.

To the north of the city is the citadel, a large castle that had a tall tower to look at the forest for Valkyri activity with behind them the two Dragon Mountains that supported the Silivren Amlug. The Citadel was mostly used as a castle for the Lord Valheru, but if needed the castle could be used as an imprenetrable fortress, as the wall around the citadel itself, inside the city walls, added another defensive line that could be used to stall the eney for as long as possible. At the west side between the citadel wall and the citadel itself were the barracks and training grounds, where new soldiers were trained in the arts of combat. At the south of the city were the living quarters, where most Valheru lived in small houses. These houses had all their roofs flattened with bowmen positions, so it could be used by bowmen should the city ever be overrun.

The city faced its destruction long before the Old Republic raider fleet destroyed the surface of the planet. The Valkyri army marched to the city walls and sieged the city. The siege lasted for two weeks before the Valkyri masses were too great to handle, as the Valheru were outnumbered five to one. The people from the south retreated to Erasiël in the north, the towering capital city and the prime jewel of Valheru civilization.

==Erasiël==

'''Erasiël''' is the capital city of the Valheru and it's size is counted in miles width. This great city was built by the first Valheru in the lands and has four Dragon Mountains where Erundwyr only had two. It houses the entire Valheru army, which were counted into the hundred thousands including thousands of dragons.

The City itself is located in the north of Ceria Isliana and resides at the western part of the Sharan Heren Imhar which is basically the back of the natural bottleneck. The location makes it easier to counter the huge armies of the Valkyri. The defensive structure of the city was the greatest feature of the city itself, like Erundwyr there were two separate walls, one around the main castle and one around the city itself. However, the wall around the city was double layered, and when breached the Valheru could use slids in the walls to shoot arrows at the incoming host, deccimating its numbers greatly.

The city itself it built in rings, so if you would look upon the city from the sky, you could see seven rings of houses between the city wall and palace wall with only five streets dividing them, causing five additional bottlenecks for any incoming host.

The Palace was the home of the Sharan Heren, or Lord Valheru in native tongue, and was the main base of militairy operations. Every strategic plan was thought out within the great throne room, where in the middle of the Throne room was a large table with a map of Ceria Isliana on it, and small pieces of wood to show the enemy's position and their own number in forces. The map was updated daily with the use of Dragonriders who'd scout and noted what they saw and reported it back. Ths way the Sharan Heren and Shara Aran, the highest-ranked military officer, would know exactly how to counterattack or how to strike.

The city also faced it's destruction, not by the Valkyri but by the Old Republic Raider Fleet. The city was heavily bombarded from orbit and only a few ruins remain standing till this day.

=Discovery and Destruction=

The planet eventually was settled by the recently formed Old Republic, who wanted to harvest resources from the rich and unspoiled planet. When the Valheru refused to cooperate and hand over their lands the Republic didn’t listen. The Valheru retaliated, and used aggression to send the Republic forces back into space.

The revenge of the raider fleet that followed was swift and brutal. The Valheru were considered savage wild men and needed to be either captured or killed. As the Valheru had no real technology thus they were easily defeated by the Republic, and the race soon twirled into extinction as the planet they inhabited was made scorched and barren.

At the present the planet is scarred with craters and wastelands due to a war in the early days of the Old Republic Raider Fleet. Though parts of the planet started to bloom again, others are still a wasteland filled with ruins of two mighty civilisations. It was believed that the planet held up to eight million inhabitants over a span of two continents. There are also reports of Archaeologists finding fossils of large reptilians, like Kryat Dragons. Also two Humanoid species, the Valheru together with relics and castles. While the Valkyri was found within caverns and were more structured to be like birds in some way. Hollow bones and thin bone structures to lessen weight.

They say some of the Valheru survived the onslaught of the Raider Fleet and lived in various regions of the Galaxy during the days of the old republic. It is believed that their bloodline has ran so thin during the ages, that there are no true Valheru present anymore.

'''Shay Thelin''' is an explorer, keeper of artifacts, and hunter of relics for the [[Holocron Center of the Brotherhood]]. Having a long history working with corporations and historical societies, she has become an adept in the search for relics across [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/Category:Brotherhood_territories| Brotherhood space] and the [[starwars:Universe|galaxy]].

==History==
===Youth===
Shay Thelin was born with the name Grenda on the moon [[starwars:Ohma-D'un| Ohma-D'un]] in [[starwars:23 BBY | 23 BBY]]. Growing up during the Clone Wars, her parents wished to distract her and give her a sense of independence and so they made frequent trips into the swamps and underwater mounds of Ohma-D'un to shelter Grenda from the [[starwars:Clone Wars|war going on in the galaxy]].

Following the end of the Clone Wars and the establishment of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire | Galactic Empire]], the Gungans, along with Grenda, had to follow more distinct laws that served to oppress their people under the heel of the Human [[starwars:Naboo | Naboo]] population. Although Grenda was subservient to this regime, she still fostered independence inside of her.

Her family, having explored much of the planet on their own, reluctantly aided the Galactic Empire in placing strategic stations on the planet. For their service, they were spared much of the [[starwars:Xenophobia| oppression]] that was placed on their friends and extended family. They also secretly became targets of the [[starwars:Rebel Alliance | Rebel Alliance]].

===Ascension===
The added benefits of aiding the Empire did not allow the same benefits Humans had, but it gave greater freedom that Grenda would gladly accept. At the age of 17 she was given the opportunity to study in a civilian program involving history and archeology for the Galactic Empire. She studied there for 4 years, doing an additional 1 year of research on ancient Naboo artifacts (mostly dealing with the Gungan population).

However, to excel in future endeavors, she would have to take on a more Human-centric name. Rather than being angry, she was excited at the thought of sky rocketing her career, taking on the name Shay Thelin (Shay sounding attractive as a name, and Thelin being a famous Naboo scientist somewhere around 56 BBY). With the name change, she was able to get a job with the Firanor Archeological Organization, with whom she worked with for many years.

===Adaptability===
Maintaining differing contacts and continuing her education into a plethora of topics and subjects, it would all soon be taken away. Following the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin | Battle of Yavin]] and the destruction of the [[starwars:Death Star | Death Star]], her parents had also been assassinated by agents of the Rebel Alliance. With a massive crackdown occurring on Ohma-D'un, Shay Thelin was recalled by the Imperial authority on Naboo to answer questions regarding her family. Fearing that she may never be able to leave again, and would follow the fate of her people on the planet, she instead ran.

The Empire, believing her running may have part to do with the inability to admit guilt under pressure, slated her as a traitor and an enemy of the Galactic Empire. She became hunted by both the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, not having any allies anywhere for her to gain. It was in this state of existence she soon took a leave of absence from galactic events and became a recluse. But this did not stop her sense of exploration and search for ancient relics.

Traveling between neutral planets and off the beaten path places, she worked for a few different people and organizations just to get by. Searching for artifacts and such would allow her to continue her love of history and art while maintaining her identity a secret.

===Resurgence===
Eventually Shay was able to gain clients who had grandiose amounts of money and power, wanting hidden relics that went beyond the normal and average things she usually obtained. With the [[starwars:4 ABY|collapse of the Galactic Empire as it once was]] and the bringing about of the New Republic, Shay Thelin stuck her toes out into the public sphere again. She worked with low level archeological start ups to slowly gain her contacts and popularity back within the New Republic, keeping a usually low profile. She used her previous high level clients as funds to bring up these organizations.

She would never become famous in her fields, unless it was under a nickname. However, the heads of these now corporations were eventually approached by the Jedi Order in order to obtain hidden Jedi artifacts. Having never purposefully searched for [[starwars:Holocron|holocrons]] before, Shay took this upon herself to look for the artifacts.

===Power===
Shay spent the next 8 years (10 ABY - 18 ABY) looking for Jedi artifacts. She had accrued many and was going to use the artifacts as a way to fully display loyalty to the [[starwars:Luke Skywalker's Jedi|Jedi Order]], reclaiming her lost name. However, someone had beaten her to the punch. With a treasure trove of both positive and negative force artifacts and holocrons, someone had revealed her past to the public and used it against her. The New Republic was now on the hunt for her yet again.

However, this time she had a friend and former client who had gotten involved in some secretive work. The client reached out and spoke of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], a secretive force organization that would aid her in her fight against the New Republic, which was already showing signs of crumbling. She trusted the client and he put her in touch with the [[Shadow Academy]] on [[Antei]].

Presenting the artifacts to the Shadow Academy, Shay was given a position as researcher for the Shadow Academy. Eventually, when the [[Holocron Center of the Brotherhood]] would be given a new home, she would be placed here as the Chief Researcher and Field Advisor for such work.

==Appearance==
Shay Thelin is an Otolla Gungan with orange/green skin. She displays wrinkles almost as a mark of pride, because it shows her wisdom and level of stress she has been through. She looks weary to the on-looker, but if one gets to know her that perception is destroyed almost instantly. She wears a dark green tunic tied with simple plated armor for exploration missions (also varying greens). She has a few scrapes and permanent scratches from past run-ins.

==Personality==
Shay Thelin is independent and neutral on most matters. She cares little for politics, but much for her work since it has dominated most of her life. She is subservient only insofar that it gives her freedom. Because of this, she is a happy and usually pleasant person, which distinguishes her from the usual angry civilians that empires attract. She also has no problem with letting people rise above her, considering she would rather keep her life than have it become wasted.

She has a soft spot for [[Clan Tarentum]] and [[Clan Plagueis]], considering many of the best employees of the Shadow Academy come from their space, or have been led by Dark Jedi who are from those Clans.

{{Quote|Well, then I suggest you start masturbating yourself blind because everything else I'll suggest requires nudity.|Shadow Taldrya}}

[[Shadow Taldrya]] was a [[starwars:Human|Human]] [[starwars:male|male]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] who was orphaned early in his youth, shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Endor|Battle of Endor]] during the closing years of the [[starwars:Galactic Civil War|Galactic Civil War]]. Forced to grow up on the streets of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], Shadow gained the quick-thinking and survival skills necessary to keep himself alive in the latter years of his life. After spending most of a decade apprenticed to a former [[starwars:Sovereign Protector|Sovereign Protector]], Shadow drew the attention of a mysterious Dark Jedi, who, rather than killing him, inducted him into the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] as an [[Initiate]] in [[11 ABY to 19 ABY#16_ABY|16 ABY]]. Under the tutelage of such Dark Jedi as [[Jac Cotelin]], [[Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor|Keirdagh Cantor]], and [[Sharad Taldrya Hett|Sharad Hett]], Shadow rose quickly through the ranks to eventually become a [[Dark Jedi Master]]. Shadow garnered much praise and recognition for his leadership efforts in both [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]] and the Brotherhood.

After briefly being captured by the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] during the [[Battle of Antei]], Shadow escaped to rejoin the Taldryan fleet and help mount an assault. But, ultimately, his efforts were in vain and the Brotherhood was defeated and forced to relinquish control of [[Antei]] to the extragalactic invaders. Though the Brotherhood was scattered, Shadow resolved to pass on what knowledge he had gained from fighting the Vong to a new generation of Dark Jedi. To this end, he accepted the position of [[Gaming Tribune|Blademaster]], the Brotherhood's version of a [[starwars:Jedi Battlemaster|Jedi Battlemaster]], and spent a year training Jedi of all [[Order]]s the tactics and techniques they would need to overcome the Yuuzhan Vong in melee combat. Shadow did all he could to prepare the other Clans, but eventually returned to Taldryan as [[Consul]] to lead them through the Brotherhood's greatest war.

Though the Brotherhood won, Taldryan's position of dominance was usurped by [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]], a feat that had not been accomplished in more than a decade. Unable to accept his failures during the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|Liberation of Antei]], Shadow chose to separate himself from Clan Taldryan and spent a year outside of the Brotherhood's influence and political machinations. Hiding in the expanse of the [[starwars:Outer Rim|Outer Rim]], Shadow was approached by a sect of Jedi calling itself the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]], and found himself welcomed into their ranks. For a time, the [[Rogue|Rogue Jedi]] believed he would never return to the Brotherhood, but his new allegiance became strained. When he attempted to escape from the Sith, Shadow was betrayed by a trusted ally and forced to fight for his freedom. Hunted by both [[starwars:Sith Assassin|Sith Assassins]] and the [[starwars:Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance]], Shadow was forced to return to the Brotherhood to seek refuge with his former Clan.

'''Scion Altera''' is a [[EQ3|Sith Battlelord]] in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and a renowned member of [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]]. Formerly known as V-Scion on his homeworld [[starwars:Kegan|Kegan]] and later known by his callsign '''Firebird''', Scion served honorably within the [[Emperor's Hammer]] before joining the Brotherhood several years after the [[Exodus]]. A hardened pilot, captain, and commander, Scion is seen by his fellow Tarenti as an example of true power and leadership.

== Childhood ==
{{Quote|If he wants to act like a Sith-spawned animal O-Serrah, he can bloody well live on the street like one! I will not have his kind of behavior in my home.|V-Scion's father, V-Orian}}

V-Scion was born on [[starwars:Kegan|Kegan]] in 13 BBY. Local tradition held that males add a "V" to the front of their names, while females add an "O". The law requiring this name prefix had been repealed some thirty years before, but V-Scion's parents were very traditional and chose to continue its use.

When he was very young, Scion did well in school. His attention turned to the stars when he hit his teens. He was becoming aware of the situation around him, and it didn't suit him. He considered himself trapped on a backwards world in the middle of nowhere, and he promised himself he would get out.

In his early teens, his hope waned. He stopped going to school, and began to drop the V from his name. He resigned himself to living an unremarkable life on an unremarkable planet. In the next years he got in trouble repeatedly for truancy, shoplifting, robbery and other petty crimes. At the age of 15, Scion's closest friend hanged himself. His family members said it darkened his view of the world, and he simply withdrew from everyone. Later that year, his parents disowned him and kicked him out because they, too, had lost hope for him.

After two hard years of wandering from city to city on Kegan, Scion met a man named Vampire outside a bar. Vampire was a squadron commander in the [[Emperor's Hammer]] TIE Corps. The SSSD Sovereign had been to the planet to procure supplies. Seeing his ticket off planet, Scion begged Vampire to let him enlist.

== Emperor's Hammer ==

=== In the Navy ===
{{Quote|I said no, kid. The Empire is not in the business of rescuing vagabonds and castaways.|Commander Vampire}}

[[File:Tc-colonel.gif|thumb|120px|left]]
In the Navy, Scion showed great aptitude both as a pilot and a leader. He had originally been stationed on the SSSD Sovereign in Wing III's Beth Squadron under Vampire's command. He was given the callsign "Firebird" by his fellow pilots because of his "rebirth" from dirty street rat into a respectable fighter pilot. He was soon promoted to the commander of Beth Squadron.

The TIE Corps underwent significant changes after Scion received his first command, consolidating several wings together. Firebird was moved into Wing VI and combined with Koph Squadron. The former commander of Koph was demoted to a Flight Leader and Firebird was given command of the new, nearly full squadron. Scion served the majority of his time in the TIE Corps as the commander of Koph, flying nearly 100 missions.

During this time Scion also became involved with the Emperor's Hammer Intelligence Division. He completed a number of classified missions during this time, eventually rising to become a Bureau Director, and the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Several years later, the position of Wing Commander for Wing VI opened up. Certain he would receive the promotion due to his outstanding performance as Koph commander, he had his office packed up and ready to move. To his dismay, the commander of the largely inactive Resh Squadron was promoted to fill the position. The two never saw eye to eye after that point.

It turned out that Admiral Proton, the Commodore of the Sovereign, had other ideas for Firebird. He had managed to keep it relatively quiet, but the Wing Commander of Wing I had gone missing. He appointed Firebird to the position and charged him with repairing the damage to a wing so long neglected by its commander. Scion went to work straight away, and Wing I once more became a strong force in the TIE Corps.

Eventually the day came when Firebird felt it was time to retire. He saw strength in those serving under him, and the thought of filling out more paperwork was becoming tiresome. He submitted his resignation to the Commodore, recommended a replacement, and made his way to the retirement frigate for a well deserved rest and a stiff drink.

=== Uneasy Retirement ===
{{Quote|Things are... different now, FB. How the hell did you find me?|Apollo}}

[[File:Cocktail 1.jpg|thumb|225px|right]]
Rest was not forthcoming. Years of drinks with little paper umbrellas and countless lazy afternoons of shuffleboard aboard the M/FRG Phoenix only turned the Colonel's vision toward the stars. He felt his muscles going slack and his mind becoming dull. He longed for the adventure he had left behind, and finally inquired about the possibility of returning to active duty. After a futile search to find any of his old companions, he learned about the [[Exodus]]. Not having been a member of the Dark Brotherhood himself, the news had been of little importance to him when it happened. Only now did he realize its significance.

Making use of an old contact from EH Intelligence, Scion managed to locate and contact [[Apollo]]. A former Admiral in the TIE Corps, [[Apollo]] had also been in the Dark Brotherhood and had left to Antei during the Exodus.

== Dark Brotherhood ==

=== The Firebird Reborn ===
{{Quote|You sold me out, Apollo! You scum sucking, nerf herding, drunken son of a bitch! Better hope these goons aren't friends of yours...|Firebird}}

[[File:Cr emerald small.jpg|thumb|83px|left]]
The Colonel stole a TIE Defender from the retirement frigate's hangar using credentials he had stolen during a brief stint working with [[Apollo]] in the [[Emperor's Hammer]] Reconnaissance Office. He was nearly caught when a security force responded to the use of the outdated credentials. With uncanny good timing [[Apollo]] rescued him, but not before he had sustained a severe injury to his left knee. The pair stole TIE Defenders and made the journey to the Brotherhood. Following the nav coordinates [[Apollo]] had given him, he made his way into a Tarentum owned shipping lane where was confronted by a squadron of TIE Advanced and forced to stand down. His craft disabled and confiscated, he was bound and blindfolded and deposited by a shuttle at the [[Shadow Academy]]. Scion stood out as one of the most elderly of the new Initiates, but his lifetime of prior experience both in the military and on the streets served him well during his trials. He now stands a proud member of the Brotherhood where many other, younger candidates failed.

After Scion had risen to the rank of Acolyte, [[Apollo]] offered to take him as his apprentice.

=== Early Adventures ===
{{Quote|You’re lucky I like you, Firebird.|Apollo}}

Scion once substituted in for the flight leader of flight two in [[Apollo]]'s Super Second Squadron of TIE Defenders. The space superiority squadron was scrambled to help deal with a set of coordinated attacks in the [[Yridia system]].

Shortly after following his master from [[House Tridens]] to [[House Gladius]], Scion [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5208 helped a small Gladius team] lead by [[Telona Murrage]] to a backwater smuggler's planet to capture a pair of [[starwars:Hssiss|Dark Side Dragons]]. The mission went well overall, but events became more complicated when the team arrived back at the [[The Sword's Sheath]]. The occupants of the base had been infected by [[starwars:Droch|droch]] parasites, including Scion's master, [[Apollo]]. The only remaining personnel were [[Troutrooper]] and Ziltopia who had barricaded themselves in. Telona's team was able to fight their way in and relieve the two Dark Jedi, but Telona was severely injured in the fighting. She was forced to go into deep hibernation hidden deep in [[Castle Tarentum]] in order to heal. During this time, most of the Tarenti thought she had died.

It was Scion's Master, Krath Archpriest [[Apollo]], who took over from the hibernating [[Telona Murrage]] as Quaestor. [[Dralin Fortea]] was appointed Aedile, and Scion was given an opportunity to serve as [[Rollmaster]] of the House. He took to this new position with zeal because filing paperwork, delivering reports, and welcoming new members had been the bread and butter of his career in the TIE Corps, and this was hardly any different.

=== Taking the Helm ===
{{Quote|I haven't been in the House long, and I haven't even been in our esteemed organization long. One thing I have been doing for a long, long time however, is giving reports.|Scion Altera}}

After serving the position of Rollmaster in House Gladius faithfully, the day came that [[Dralin Fortea]] stepped down from his position as Aedile. [[Apollo]] bestowed the vacated position on Firebird. At the rank of Guardian, Scion was seen as somewhat under-qualified for the position. His work as Rollmaster, however, spoke loudly enough for the Clan Summit to give him the opportunity to serve.

Scion participated in a raid of a secret research facility at [[starwars:Prakith|Prakith]], posing as a New Republic second lieutenant. The raid itself went fairly smoothly, and several interesting technologies were recovered. However, on the trip back to Yridia the Clan's ship [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5353 encountered a derelict MC80] called the ''Renegade'' which had supposedly been destroyed. It was filled with ghosts and the spirits of seven Jedi who had been sealed within the Crystal of Tears by Clan Tarentum Elders with the assistance of [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Scion's role in this encounter was relatively minor, although he assisted [[Apollo]] and [[Troutrooper]] in holding back [[Rekio Corsair]] after he had been possessed by one of the seven Jedi spirits.

The Crystal of Tears had been destroyed when the Yuuzhan Vong had taken control of the Antei system, but fragments of it remained. The fragments retained a portion of the original crystal's power. Rumors of war had begun to trickle through the Brotherhood, and Clan Tarentum was preparing for the worst. Anshar sent House Gladius and House Cestus to [[Samur]], a planet in the Antei System where fragments of the crystal were believed to exist. The Houses were sent independently of one another. After some initial conflict between the two Houses, the attention of the Vong was attracted. The bickering groups had to work together to escape with their lives.

After performing well in a Navy recruitment test, Scion was given a commission as a Lieutenant in the Tarentum Navy. He was assigned as the Executive Officer aboard the [[B/CR Cocytus|B/CR ''Cocytus'']] with his Master and long time friend, [[Apollo]].

After serving his friend and Master, [[Apollo]], faithfully, Scion completed his training and was elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.

=== Ashes to Ashes ===
{{Quote|It is difficult to come up with adequate words for someone who executes their offices with very little pomp and circumstance. But, I find that this sums up Scion Altera to a tee.|Maxamillian von Oberst-Tarentae}}

[[House Gladius]] was drawn, along with the rest of [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]], into the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]]. Scion and his House fought well, but their battle was complicated by defections and betrayals. Despite the problems, Scion received a rare battlefield promotion to the rank of [[Sith Warrior]], enabling him to join the [[Equite]] class. [[House Gladius|Gladius]] was hit harder than the other Houses by casualties and attrition. By the end of the war, the roster had been cut down to a mere 13 members. In the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5773 aftermath] of the war, [[Apollo]] and Scion decided to swap administrative positions, making Scion the [[Quaestor]] and [[Apollo]] the [[Aedile]]. The two quickly set to work rebuilding the House under Scion's direction.

During the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] a new Apprentice joined the House. Scion had been called away briefly on a mission to Trandosha. During the course of his mission, Scion bore witness to the slaughter of an entire family of trandoshans by a rival clan. The sole survivor of the attack was a young warrior who seemed to have a heart full of rage and a modicum of skill to back it up. Sensing an opportunity, Scion offered [[Mechronage Saltherion]] a ride and delivered him to the [[Shadow Academy]], much like [[Apollo]] had done years earlier.

In the following months the members of [[House Gladius]], and Scion in particular, became less and less trusting of the [[Dark Council]] and the [[Tarentum]] Clan Summit. When the [[Dark Council]] sent an Auditor to [[The Sword's Sheath]] to take stock of their supplies, Scion and [[Apollo]] devised a cunning plan to stockpile the asteroid's supplies aboard [[Apollo]]'s ship, the [[B/CR Cocytus|B/CR ''Cocytus'']]. With help from [[Severon Vercingetorix]] and Scion's new Apprentice, [[Mechronage Saltherion]], the Auditor appeared to believe the base's supply stockpiles were as low as they appeared.

Scion was later involved in a [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5978 conflict] with the [[Keepers]], ancient nemeses of [[Tarentum]]. It began as the [[MC80 Renegade|MC80 ''Renegade'']], under the control of the [[Keepers]], entered the [[Yridia system]] System and headed for the [[Aegis]] on a collision course. The platform was destroyed in the conflict, as was the [[MC80 Renegade|''Renegade'']]. During this conflict, Scion was given command of the [[MJHC Corsair|MJHC ''Corsair'']] and elevated to the rank of Commander.

[[File:Gcd.jpg|thumb|181px|right]]
As the months passed, [[Apollo]] became more and more withdrawn and reclusive as he delved deeper into the enigmatic studies of the Krath Order. Frustrated with his friend's uncharacteristic seclusion and under constant pressure from the Clan Summit to replace him, Scion eventually asked [[Apollo]] to step down to focus on his studies. To fill the position, he appointed the newly minted Dark Jedi Knight [[Severon Vercingetorix]] as Aedile of the House. At the same time, he asked [[Raiju Kang]] to come over from [[House Tridens]] and fill the role of Rollmaster.

[[Tarentum]] was once again summoned by the [[Dark Council]] in 32 ABY to the planet of [[Salas V]] for a [[Spoils of War|Rite of Supremacy]]. Soon after joining the brutal conflict on the planet, Clan [[Tarentum]]'s forces were routed by those of [[Revan|Independent House Revan]]. The surviving Tarenti regrouped to lick their wounds. Grudgingly, the Dark Jedi of [[House Gladius]] came together with those from [[House Cestus]] and [[House Tridens]] to form a cohesive unit. Their cooperation was rewarded when they discovered [[Clan Plagueis]] and Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]] almost simultaneously. The three rival Clans battled for days, but [[Tarentum]] emerged the clear victor, scattering the enemy forces to the bitter winds. Scion was awarded a [[Grand Cross of the Dark Side]] for his leadership on the ground during the fighting, and promoted to the rank of [[Sith Battlemaster]] shortly thereafter.

The war forged Gladians would not be allowed to return home to [[The Sword's Sheath]] for long, however...

=== Flashes in the Pan ===
{{Quote|This House has no history. There is no precedent. There are no long-fabled members who did great things a decade ago. You and I are the ones who will do the first things to make House Kaerner great.|Scion Altera}}

Shortly after the [[Rite of Supremacy]] the Clan Summit came to the conclusion that a major reorganization was necessary. [[House Gladius]] had become too distant from her parent Clan, [[House Tridens]] was struggling to maintain its strength after being decimated in the [[Spoils of War|Rite of Supremacy]], and [[House Cestus]] was powerful. The only solution that the leaders of each of the three Houses would grudgingly agree to was to shut down all three Houses and open two new ones with rosters pulled from each of the three Old Houses: [[House Reinthaler]] and [[House Kaerner]]. [[Saitou Tarentae]] would head [[House Reinthaler]], and Scion Altera would command [[House Kaerner]].

The aging Quaestor would view this new assignment as a puzzling dichotomy. His loyalty lay with [[House Gladius]] and he had spent years building it into a powerful, proud House. Yet, he had sworn an oath to [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]] that could not be ignored. The uniqueness of the opportunity to be the first Quaestor of a brand new House was unquestionable, and he felt certain that it would cement his place in the history of [[Tarentum]]. He met with his new Aedile, [[Tyyravis Nami Dantes]] for the first time in his new office on their ice base on the moon [[Joran]]. The two men pledged at that time to make [[House Kaerner]] into a fierce pirate band to rival the glory of [[Tau Squadron]].

Shortly after the opening of [[House Kaerner]], Scion was called away from [[Joran]] with the Clan's fleet. During a devastating engagement while on an exploratory mission, nearly every ship in the Clan's fleet was destroyed. The lone surviving vessel was the [[ISDII Magnus Kaerner|ISDII ''Magnus Kaerner'']]. Fortunately, both Scion and [[Apollo]]'s escape pods were recovered despite their ships, the [[MJHC Corsair|MJHC ''Corsair'']] and the [[B/CR Cocytus|B/CR ''Cocytus'']] both having been destroyed.

[[House Kaerner]] would unfortunately be short-lived. Indeed, Scion was to be its only Quaestor. Shortly following the Clan's [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6094 conflict] with the [[starwars:Church of Infinite Perception|Church of Infinite Perception]], the [[Dark Council]] decreed that all Clans would become Houses and all existing Houses must be disbanded. [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]] became [[Tarentum|House Tarentum]] and the ice base was again sealed. [[Ronovi Tavisaen|Ronovi]] would become [[Quaestor]] of the new [[House]], [[Ji K'awiil|Ji]] became [[Aedile]], and Scion was tapped as the new [[Rollmaster]]. Before too long, [[Ji K'awiil|Ji]] sought her fates elsewhere and Scion became [[Aedile]] of [[Tarentum|House Tarentum]].

Scion's tenure as [[Aedile]] of [[Tarentum|House Tarentum]] was uncharacteristically uneventful. Many of his colleagues are known to have commented to [[Ronovi Tavisaen|Ronovi]], the House's [[Quaestor]] at that time, that the [[Aedile]] appeared distracted and even disinterested in his work. [[Ronovi Tavisaen|Ronovi]] herself even confronted him at one point, reminding him that she needed his help to keep the House running smoothly. Only a few weeks later, the leader of five years tendered his resignation both as [[Aedile]] and from his position as an Operator in the [[Antei Combat Centre]]. The specific reasons for his sudden withdrawal are known only to a select few, but the only story he has ever told publicly was that he simply needed a well deserved vacation. During this time, Scion spent the majority of his time on [[Tarentum]]'s flagship, the [[ISDII Magnus Kaerner|ISDII ''Magnus Kaerner'']], of which he remained the captain. Within weeks of Scion's resignation, [[Ronovi Tavisaen|Ronovi]] resigned as [[Quaestor]] and was replaced by [[Sith Bloodfyre-Tarentae]], then by [[Anshar Kahn Tarentae]].

=== Princeps Yridia Rex Gratia ===
{{Quote|Raken and I have decided to bring you onboard as the new Quaestor for Tarentum. Your work is definitely cut out for you.|Muz Ashen}}

Shortly before the [[Independence Games]] in 37 ABY the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] was continuing its [[Dark Crusade|Crusade]] against the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] on the ice planet [[starwars:Khar Delba|Khar Delba]]. During the conflict, Scion [http://forums.darkjedibrotherhood.com/viewtopic.php?f=213&t=6784 joined a small strike team] of Tarenti to investigate the tomb of [[Naga Sadow]]. The team's shuttle was sabotaged, and the tomb's dark energy began to influence the minds of the Tarenti to turn on one another. To add to their difficulties the team fell under constant attack from Behemoths, giant mammoth-like animals twisted by the Dark Side and under the control of the One Sith.

By the time the group returned to the [[ISDII Magnus Kaerner|Magnus Kaerner]] [[Jason Hunter]] was near death and several others were severely injured. Throughout the mission [[Anshar Kahn Tarentae|Anshar]] seemed to be suffering from some form of Force-related malady, but he did well to keep it hidden from all but the most experienced other team members.

Following the [[Independence Games]], [[Anshar Kahn Tarentae|Anshar]] stepped down as [[Quaestor]] of House [[Tarentum]]. [[Jason Hunter]] as [[Aedile]] was considered the likely candidate to succeed him but it was not to be. [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]] personally appointed Scion as [[Quaestor]] instead, inaugurating the long-time leader's first experience as a member of the [[Dark Council]].

When Scion ascended the throne as Prince, Tarentum was about to enter the second chapter of the [[Dark Crusade]]. This second conflict would occur on the planet of [[Ashas Ree]], where Tarentum's forces faced off against [[Taldryan]] and [[Scholae Palatinae]]. The next battles of the [[Dark Crusade]] would take place on [[Kalsunor]] against [[Plagueis]] and [[Arcona]], and several others followed after that until ending up at the final [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] stronghold on [[Korriban]]. Tarentum fared poorly in general during this conflict, suffering defeats on nearly all of the battlegrounds and coming away with a dearth of prizes compared to the other units. It was a crippling blow to the House's economy, morale, and to Scion himself. In the aftermath of the [[Dark Crusade]] the disappointments would continue further as his long time friend and [[Aedile]], [[Raiju Kang]] would defect from Tarentum, leaving the seeds of rebellion in his wake.

The cause of Raiju's defection was not what it first appeared to be. The team had investigated the abandoned Gulon Station, searching for relics left over from Darth Vitus' experimentations there in the distant past. Unbeknownst to the rest of the Tarenti, Raiju was [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1muZm8tOugFiJRREwA6yfsMSfrKcOpqVwQ5783n0hFDQ/edit?usp=sharing infected by a mysterious parasite] that controlled his mind. The hive-minded parasite drove him to make attempts on other Tarenti lives, and to make Scion think that it was [[Altheseus Levathan]] whose mind was slipping. Ultimately the mind-controlled Raiju was unable to achieve its goals and so he left the House.

The [[Dark Crusade]] reached its conclusion, with Grand Master [[Darth Ashen]] defeated and control of the Brotherhood relinquished to [[Darth Pravus]]. A short time after taking control of the Brotherhood, Pravus fired the leaders of House [[Tarentum]] and House [[Odan-Urr]], replacing them with leaders of his own choosing. At the same time he raised all Independent Houses up to full-fledged Clans. Scion has been deeply bitter about losing his place as Prince ever since. Even Tarentum's rise back to Clanhood was tainted by circumstance for him. On one hand he had indirectly achieved his original goal to get Tarentum back to Clanhood. On the other hand, it had been due to the Grand Master's decree rather than by his own success.

One thing shone brightly positive for him, however, and gave him the strength to stick with his beloved Tarentum despite all the other failures. In the days following Tarentum's return to Clanhood, a gathering of the [[Tarentae]] elected to bring Scion into their ranks. He accepted, and became known as Scion Tarentae. It is a name he wears proudly, in defiance of everything that is not Tarentum.

=== A Darker Path ===
{{Quote|I still think I should have been able to hurt him... at least take an ear.|Samael Ozriel}}

It wasn't long before the Clan called Scion to service once again, to fill the position of [[Quaestor]] in the newly formed [[House Mortis]]. Dubbed "The House of Death", Mortis was the home of Tarentum's practitioners of the banned arts of necromancy. Given his attitude toward recent events, it turned out to be a perfect fit for him. He was again the master of Castle Tarentum in all but name - the Clan Summit and most of the rest of the Clan had vacated it in order to create more operational mobility and to maintain the Summit as a moving, unpredictable target. Only House Mortis remained there with a skeleton crew to keep it well maintained.

The House fended off several attempts to discover Castle Tarentum. In one such incident a mercenary named Corvus Tanian landed on a nearby archipelago and set up a fortified base camp. House Mortis ran several patrols of the encampment before finally sending [[Korras|Darth Aeternus]] to scope it out for attack. Contrary to his orders, the Sith Lord took Corvus hostage and did a great deal of damage to the encampment in the process. Scion chose to execute a gambit with Tanian: he staged an escape for the imprisoned mercenary, letting him escape with his life in the hopes that they would be able to track him and discover his group's true motive.

== Personality ==
Scion has seen much in his life, from the hardships of living on the street to losing close friends in battles in space. In his command he is fair and tries to be a calming force in the lives of his pilots. He always encourages them to work and train as hard as they can, especially encouraging training exercises against other units. He is patient, calm and calculating. To solve a problem, he gathers the required information and takes the most effective action rather than wasting precious resources with rash decisions and emotion. In all his pursuits he aims to be the best. He does not take defeat lightly.

Joining the Dark Brotherhood at such an old age was a difficult decision. It essentially meant starting over. After weighing the benefits and drawbacks of joining, the Colonel decided to approach it with the same vigor he had when he first began in the TIE Corps. He would keep a mind open to learning new things, and work as hard as he could on any task set forth by his new masters. He would bring the full benefit of his life experience to bear and take this new "career" as far as he could.

== Real Life ==
The man behind "The Colonel" is a software engineer from Oregon. He is not actually 50 years old. He loves games (creating and playing them), skiing, camping, listening to heavy metal and being a smartass. Scion was in the TIE Corps in the Emperor's Hammer for more than 10 years and served with many of the older members of the Brotherhood. After 5 years of retirement, he discovered that everyone he had known in the EH was over here... so here he is.

Roxas is a dedicated Mandalorian warrior, who eventually learned the Force after the death of his friends and family. He fell to the dark side and was waiting to be tried by the Jedi until he escaped. He then joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. His only reason for using the Force is to get revenge for the death of his Mandalorian Clan. Roxas is the former battle team leader of [[The Regulators]]. Roxas is also bartender of [[The Crossroads]]. He is known as Fremoc's only failed apprentice.
== Before the Brotherhood ==
=== Childhood ===
{{Quote|Buurenaar sounds like a name you'd give to a dragon or something.|[[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]]}}

Roxas was born on the planet Mandalore, to Clan Buurenaar. His parents were never warriors, but it is in their blood, for his grandparents were warriors in their youth. Although his parents had never been a part of that life they wanted their son to be a warrior, so when he was still a child they sent him to the jungle moon of Onderon known as Dxun, where many Mandalorians are trained to be warriors.
[[File:Symbol of Clan Buurenaar.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Roxas's Symbol]]
==== Mandalorian Training ====
Roxas was born for Mandalorian training; he loved every second of it. With his clan he accomplished a multitude of missions. He successfully accomplished many bounty, assassination, and mercenary missions, receiving praise from his teachers. His clan was hired for many small wars and skirmishes. Due to this fact Roxas is an extremely skilled warrior. By the time he was thirteen he was extremely knowledgeable of combat techniques and tactics because of that he was usually given missions where he worked alone, for this reason his comrades called him "Wolf" and even made a symbol for him to wear on his armor. He wears this symbol on the right shoulder of his armor.

==== Listening To The Force ====
Like other Mandalorian that are believed to be Force Sensitive he ignored his feelings. During his time on Dxun, he was hunting and walked upon a dark place in the jungle. The area was ancient, it looked like animals went there to die, but it didn't smell like death. He walked around this ancient dark place amazed by it. While in that ancient and evil place he could feel an immense cold, it was so powerful that he could not ignore it, he believed that he was experiencing the Force for the first time. He never told his Clan. He decided he would not use the Force in combat, for fear of being outcast from his clan. He tried his best to ignore the Force, but it grew increasingly difficult.
=== A Warrior On His Own ===
[[File:RoxasandClan.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The last battle of a once great clan.]]
==== The End Of His Clan ====
When Roxas was fifteen, his clan was hired as mercenaries to end a war between rival companies. The company that Clan Buurenaar was working for was legally logging trees and replanting younger ones to take their place, while their rivals were taking trees illegally and ruining the soil with pollution. The war waged taking a huge financial toll on both companies. Roxas's employer wanted the war over immediately, and asked the Jedi to end the conflict so that they could try diplomatic methods to resolve the problems. The Jedi Council sent a knight and an apprentice to investigate. The rival company, which was a front for a Dark Jedi received information from one of their spies that their enemy had asked the Jedi for help and informed their Dark Jedi friend of the situation. The Dark Jedi came to the aid of the company, killing most of Roxas's clan; while Roxas was away gathering supplies; which left the Jedi to handle the Dark Jedi. The Dark Jedi had little trouble killing the knight. The apprentice trying his best just wasn't enough, so Roxas using a sword made of Mandalorian Iron joined the battle, to avenge his fallen comrades. After an extremely intense battle Roxas was severally wounded. The Dark Jedi could feel the Force flowing through the Mandalorian, but feeling that the Mandalorian needed training before he could be of any use decided to let him live, hoping to one day take him as an apprentice. The Dark Jedi was able to escape the planet virtually unscathed. The death of his clan members left Roxas as the only trained warrior of his clan. Roxas was taken to Mandalore to heal and recuperate. With the war over, the apprentice believed that Roxas would make a great Jedi. The apprentice tried to convince Roxas to come with him to Coruscant to be trained as a Jedi, but the proud Mandalorian would have no part in it. Roxas had more important things on his mind, like finding the Dark Jedi and avenging his Clan. Roxas had the symbol given to him by his clan tattooed on his right biceps as a way to remember his fallen comrades.

==== Looking For Revenge ====
[[File:Roxas old armor.jpg|thumb|75px|right|Leaving the CEO's office]]
Roxas fully healed left Mandalore and headed for the company that hired the Dark Jedi. He killed every armed person that got in his way, essentially killing his way to the CEO, but not without his fair share of injuries. They employees were so frightened that they asked the nearby Jedi Enclave for help, and they sent help immediately. Roxas reached the CEO and tortured him until he told Roxas where to find the Dark Jedi, Nar Shadaa. Knowing where to go Roxas killed the CEO, and headed for his ship. On his way to his ship he was confronted by the Jedi that was sent to help. The Jedi asked him to come peacefully, but Roxas ordered the Jedi out of his way. This lead to a fight and Roxas was subdued and captured. The Jedi took Roxas before the Jedi Council and explained that Roxas had killed the entire company and resisted arrest. The Jedi Council decided that Roxas would be held in imprisonment until he was given a proper trial. While Roxas was imprisoned the Jedi apprentice that he met in the war came to visit him and after learning of what happened decided to help Roxas escape. The apprentice let the Mandalorian out of his Force cage and gave him a data pad that contained the layout of the temple. Roxas was seen trying to escape and the apprentice stepped in by fighting the Jedi that saw Roxas, giving the Mandalorian time to escape. Roxas doesn't know what ever happened to that Jedi apprentice, but presumes him dead.

=== Falling To The Darkside ===
==== Exploring The DarkSide ====
After escaping the Jedi he headed for [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]], all the while training himself in the Force. While there Roxas found the Dark Jedi and confronted him. Roxas eventually chased the Dark Jedi to a landing platform and the ferocious battle continued, Roxas attempting to kill the Dark Jedi used a thermal detonator destroying the landing platform and injuring himself in the process. Though the landing platform was destroyed the Dark Jedi escaped. Unknown to Roxas the landing platform was owned by local slavers, who wanted compensation for their platforms destruction. Roxas being injured they took him as a slave. The slavers, realizing that Roxas was a Mandalorian didn't sell him. Instead they tortured him and kept him in a cage for nearly a whole year. One day his captives were attacked by rival slavers and his cage was damaged. After kicking the cage for a while the door of it fell off and Roxas using the battle as a cover escaped. Being in captivity altered his psyche to the point that he is extremely violent to those who disagree with him, though when he gets to know a person he calms down and is more collected with his demeanor. Though some people, he won't get to know, because his temper will lead him to hate the person to the point where he will stop acknowledging them, and eventually attempt to kill them. Roxas will wait and bide his time until he knows that he can kill the person and even waits for the proper time before actually attempting to kill them.
==== The Dark Jedi Brotherhood ====
After escaping the slavers he wandered the galaxy until he found the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and decided to join so he could learn what only someone adept in the Force could teach him. When he joined the Brotherhood Roxas was twenty years old. He joined Clan Naga Sadow as an [[Obelisk]]. He was a member of the [[Night Raptors]] battle team, until unfortunate circumstances the battle team was disbanded. In 33 ABY all the Clans were downsized into houses and the Houses were downsized into battle teams. Around 34-35 ABY Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status.

== The Brotherhood ==
=== Unrest In The City ===
==== Aeotheran (33ABY) ====
Terrorists had been threatening the [[Dlarit Corporation]] owned by [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow|Tron Sadow]]. After receiving the transmission Roxas had a lot of catching up to do to reach his Clan, as he was still in [[Sadow Palace]] training. With a little luck he was able to catch up in time to help his clan with the action. Clan Naga Sadow infiltrated the terrorist organization and turned the media against them, and then Clan Naga Sadow was able to destroy the terrorist leader known as Deliverance. Roxas was able to aid his clan during the battle with Deliverance. During the mission Roxas showed his skills and abilities in battle, proving that he is an extremely determined warrior. He also showed his willingness to contribute to his Clan.
==== Tarthos ====
===== [[Markosian City]] =====
A few weeks later, a massive army of Vongspawn and [[Ekind]] attacked Tarthos. The Sadowans hurried to the defense of their planet. Roxas valiantly fought on the front lines aiding his Clan to push the enemy back a great distance and eventually defeating them, but not without sustaining significant injuries. After the Vong and Ekind had been removed from around the Temple, Roxas sensed something he hadn't in a long time, so he Force pushed the doors of the temple open. There he donned his golden armor and, disobeying his orders, took a Headhunter and flew for [[Markosian City]]. Letting his feelings guide him, he searched for the one who destroyed his Clan. As he neared the center of the city his ship was shot down and he had to continue the search on foot. After a short mishap of friendly fire from [[Araxis Pepoi Farron]] Roxas reached a Dlarit Corporation office building that the Dark Jedi that killed his clan had taken over. Roxas scaled the building, using the grappling hook on his armor. Roxas learned that the Dark Jedi was searching for him and that the Dark Jedi had helped the Vongspawn and Ekind during the invasion. The two fought an intense battle in which Roxas wounded the Dark Jedi and was thrown from the landing platform that they were fighting on. Roxas threw two thermal detonators as he fell, destroying the landing platform. Roxas was severally injured, suffering a dislocated shoulder, a broken arm, broken ribs, and a broken leg. Roxas was led by [[Venator]] to the base of resistance fighters that were combatting the invaders. There Roxas's wounds were tended too and he assumed control of the group. Roxas was not fully awake when Venator helped him; all he remembered was waking up in the Resistance base, and decided that he owed one to whoever helped him get there. Roxas taking command of the resistance fighters lead them toward the last place he saw his allies, the red sector. Roxas was surprised to hear a command come over his comm from [[Fremoc Pepoi]], all forces were ordered to the blue sector as the green sector was declared lost. Leading the resistance group as fast as he could out of the sector, Roxas met up with Methyas and Araxis. Shortly after this, Fremoc Pepoi had green sector annihilated by the Republic-class Star Destroyer Final Way. Roxas wasn't bothered by the destruction of the Green Sector instead he understood that some saccrifices would have to be made. During a temporary break in the fighting Roxas used the power of [[starwars:Hibernation trance|Force Hibernation]] to learn who had helped him find the resistance members. He learned that he was helped by Venator and vowed to help Venator out whenever he needed him. Roxas traveled with Methyas and Araxis to Orian Manor. And still suffering from his injuries went to the infirmary. There he had a soldier bring him his black suit of armor and send the gold suit to be scrapped as it had suffered irreparable damage. Roxas then went to the armory and got a new armory saber seeing as his other was destroyed during his fight with the dark Jedi. Roxas then went to the Final Way and gathered DSOG troops to aid in the battle in Kar Alabrek.

===== [[Kar Alabrek]] =====
Upon reaching the ruined city Roxas joined up with Methyas, Araxis, and Venator. Together they began the attack on the Vongspawn and Ekind. The group got separated as Methyas and Araxis rushed to aid Fremoc. Roxas lead his troops into [[Ragnos Cathedral]]. While inside he lead his troops further in, in an atttempt to clear the area of enemies. The group was attacked and a battle ensued. They were overwhelmed, and had to fall back and leave the Cathedral. While outside Roxas met up with Venator and they fought side by side and back to back aiding each other as they moved (The two dark Jedi work extremely well in combat). The Sadowans fought their way back to the cathedral under the orders of Fremoc. As he reached the cathedral Fremoc had Methyas and Araxis heal Roxas' wounds, while the Mandalorian boasted that he had killed over three hundred Vongspawn and Ekind. None of the dark jedi were able to open the doors to the Cathedral except an elder. [[Trevarus Caerick]] was the only person who could open the doors. As the elder opened the doors all the Sadowans ignited their lightsabers at the same time in preparation for the Vongspawn and Ekind inside the Cathedral. The doors opened and the Sadowans charged inside toward the enemies awaiting them, the Ekind Honor Guard. An intense battle began with heroes on both sides, the only difference was that the Sadowans were trained in the Force giving them an advantage against their enemies. After a fierce battle the Sadowans fought their way through the Great Sadow Library and made it to the Ritual Chamber. There they began the battle with the leader of the Vongspawn and Ekind, a beautiful woman named Hafa. The battle was long a fierce. As Methyas attacked her, she ran. He followed determined to get the information that he needed out of her. Just before she fled, giant arachnids stormed into the room from the ceiling and attacked the Sadowans. Roxas himself was pinned by one of the spiders and the only way that he ould escape was to ignite his forearm mounted flamethrower and set the creature on fire, causing it to burn to death. He then aided [[Teu Pepoi]], whose arm was broken by one of the enormous arachnids. During this time Kano returned to Naga Ssdow and gave aid to his comrades. While the Sadowans were clearing the remaining enemies, Methyas killed the female enemy and retrieved the information that he needed. Soon after, Fremoc left Naga Sadow for his exile.
==== Disorder (34ABY) ====
Roxas was aboard the FCC Firefox when it landed on the desert that is Antei. He was provoked by some of his men and he fought them, killing the one's that attacked. He left the Sith armada and headed for the position being held by the Obelisk troops. As he reached their position he was captured and taken before of the Obelisk commanders. Roxas explained how he wanted to become an Obelisk and that he wanted to be trained by [[Fremoc Pepoi]]. They lead them to Fremoc's position, but the speeder they were using crashed and Roxas was lost in the desert for the rest of the war. He was finally rescued and he met up with Fremoc for his training.

[[File:RegulatorsLogo.png‎|70px|left]]
==== A New Team ====
{{Quote|I have a new team. It will be hard and if you don't keep up you will die quickly.|Kano to Roxas}}

Shortly after the events of Disorder, Kano Tor Pepoi started a new battle team, which he called [[The Regulators]]. While Roxas was training, Kano came to him and asked him to join the team. Roxas agreed and was given a black bandana that had the crest of the new team on it.

===== Knighthood =====
Fremoc was practicing his techniques in the [[Temple of Blood]] on [[Sepros]]. Roxas was hiding nearby, secretly watching his master train. Fremoc received a message from [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow]] and was told that he was needed on [[Antei]] as he was now the [[Fist of the Brotherhood]]. Fremoc, who had noticed that his apprentice was watching him called him over. As Roxas approached him, Fremoc charged and knocked him to the ground. Fremoc handed Roxas the lightsaber that he had confiscated days earlier and handed it to him, as well as helped him back up off the ground. Fremoc informed Roxas that he was now knighted and then left without another word. The Raptor team of the Regulators was called to go to Aeotheran to help Macron kill [[Curwen Sunei]] for the murder of [[Ashura Isradia Sadow]], but along the way Fremoc sent a message to the team and ordered them to capture Sunei instead, but only half the team heard it as the Raptor squad had already jumped out of the ship, using HALO jump to reach their destination.
===== Nifokalija Mountains, Aeotheran =====
The mountains were littered with a thick forest that was covered in a dense fog and deep snow. As the group walked a blaster bolt flew toward them and it was up to Roxas to find the sniper. Using the thermal imaging function of his helmet the Mandalorian was able to find and neutralize the enemy. The team walked over to where the enemy's body should have been and it had vanished. Deciding that it was the best thing to do, they launched a flare to signal their position to Kano and the others. Roxas fired his blaster and was met by a double edged pike to the neck of his armor, it was Kano's. He called out and Kano and the rest regrouped. Together the group continued toward their target. After some time the Regulators found a cave, and their target was inside. The team captured Sunei with any struggle. The [[M/CRV Reaper's Call]] picked up the team and their prisoner.
===== [[M/CRV Reaper's Call]] =====
The team was successful in its first mission, or that's what they thought. Sunei used some sort of dark side magic to put the Regulators to sleep and turn the crew of the ship into zombie like creatures, this also shut down the ship leaving it dead in space. Kano was the first to wake up and he woke up the rest of the regulators. The team began looking for a way to get the ship working again. Roxas was the first to be attacked by a crew member, who he struck down with ease. The team stayed on their guard as they continued the search of the ship, but one of their own, Methyas, was somehow possessed by Sunei and attacked Venator and Roxas. Venator was able to bring Methyas back to his senses, but not without sustaining injuries that included a collapsed lung and some broken ribs. With Venator's and Methyas's wounds being taken care of by John Witwalker and [[Dirk Valentine]] the team continued their search. Oddly enough Kano was slowly possessed as well, but Fremoc showed up and began fighting him to bring him back to his senses. The rest of the team had now found Sunei and began fighting him. Macron, Jade, Kalei, and Aleho cut through the ceiling of the bridge and dropped in to aid in the battle. The fights on the bridge and the one between Kano and Fremoc were intense and neither would end without death. Thanks to Macron's group and the Regulators Sunei was killed, but not without serious injury to the crazed alchemist. Fremoc unable to bring Kano to his senses killed him as a last resort. Macron lying on the floor of the bridge was dying, but the members of Sadow wouldn't allow it to happen. Every member in the room reached out with the Force and gave a portion of their own energy and connection to keep the Sith from dying. At this time Roxas discovered something within himself that was buried deep within his soul, but was unable to understand it. With the group concentrating all that they had on the Sith alchemist, they were able to revive him. With the mission finally over the Regulator returned to Tarthos to bury their fallen comrade and brother in arms, Kano.
===== Funeral of a Vod =====
{{Quote|Let the afterlife know that when Kano is armed, and drunk, even the departed aren’t safe.|Venator at Kano's funeral}}

The scene was full of sadness as the wake was taking place. Each member walked by their fallen comrade and put some small trinket or other in the casket. Venator being second in command had taken complete command of the Regulators as the teams new Sargent. Roxas, Rang and Witwalker stood near the hole to which their ally would be placed, each man holding a rifle. And as Venator gave the order they fired over the casket into the sky in honor of their past Sargent. An hour later at the Pepoi residence, Roxas wore his full suit of Mandalorian armor and no matter how many times he was asked or told to remove at least the helmet and get comfortable he would ignore it, for in his own way he was honoring his fallen comrade. Roxas never have been in the Pepoi compound began walking around and found Kano's old room. He entered and saw his former master's helmet on a shelf. Roxas removed his helmet and said his goodbyes. (There is more to come, editing is needed before posting)

=====Markosian Slavers=====

Children orphaned during the occupation of Markosian had begun disappearing. Mirado, who was the new leader of the Regulators, decided to use the team to investigate. Mirado, Masika, and Roxas split up to find out what they could by using their own old contacts for information. Roxas headed for his home planet of Mandalore. There he met up with his parents and asked for any information or advice that they could give and was instructed to head for their clan’s old base on Dxun. While on the way to his Clan’s old base, Roxas stumbled upon a Boma, Roxas was forced to use his DC-17m to defend himself. He was hit by the beast and his blaster was trampled making it useless. The Mandalorian defeated the boma and continued to the base. Roxas tried to use the base’s computer to get information on the slavers, but the generator wasn’t working. After a few hours of working with it, he was finally able to get the generator running. He gathered all the information from the computer and then destroyed it, before returning to Tarthos.

======[[The Crossroads]]======

Back on Tarthos, in a bar that was bought for Naga Sadow, the Regulators were being further briefed by their leader. They were informed that there are people going around behind them and erasing proof of what they had done, and also, locating where the slavers were basing their operations. After some snooping by Masika, the Regulators were able to get tickets to an event where the slavers would all meet at. The Regulators successfully infiltrated and crashed the party, killing all the slavers and freeing the children. Shortly after, Mirado gifted the Crossroads to Roxas.

====The Regulators (35 ABY)====
[[File:Roxas Buurenaar.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Roxas briefing the Regulators.]]
Mirado was promoted to a higher position and left the battle team to Roxas. The Mandalorian immediately set out to reorganize most of the team. While doing so, pirates attacked the planet of San Karinor. They pillaged and stole all they could, eventually seizing control of the planet. With help from a former Regulator turned Krath Tetrarch of The [[Raptors]], [[Masika Oshairana]], the two battle teams joined together to handle the pirates. Within hours the Pirates were all, but extinct and the planet was back under Naga Sadow control.

====Great Jedi War X====
The grandmaster ordered the destruction of the Jedi of [[House Odan-Urr]]. Clan Naga Sadow responded quickly. The Regulators were used to clear the forests of [[New Tython]] in search of Jedi, the native peoples and Mandalorians from Clan Ordo. Roxas fought a fellow Mandalorian head on in the war, but came out victorious. He had no feelings about killing the man, but did state that killing one of his own kind was a fun challenge. In one of the last battles the majority of the Sadowan forces surrounded a downed dreadnought, they entered clearing the enemies inside and detonated it to clear the field of any other enemy resistance. The Jedi of Odan-Urr WERE defeated and the war ended. Shortly after the war the Regulators were temporarily disbanded (35 ABY) and Roxas was promoted to Prefect of Gamuslag.

===Worldwreckers===

====Sepros====
{{Quote|Leave this place Roxas, before you wind up even more of a failure.|Fremoc}}
Roxas was at the hidden training grounds of DSOG on Sepros to help train the troops. Fremoc goaded Roxas into attacking him, but Kano and Araxis released four [[Naga Sadow Powers|Force Blasts]], breaking Roxas's hands, knees, ribs and causing internal bleeding. Kano went to deliver the killing blow, but Fremoc stopped him after receiving a message that The Consul Macron was sending for Roxas to be brought to him. Fremoc dragged Roxas to the [[Onyx 2]] to meet with Macron.

[[File:Surviving Alchemy.jpg|Thumb|left|150px|After Macron's Alchemy]]
====Onyx 2====
[[Sildrin Sadow]] showed a slight kindness by relieving some of the Mandalorian's pain, but not much; stating that she didn't want to take the fun of hearing Roxas in pain from [[Macron Sadow]]. Macron using Alchemy healed Roxas's wounds, but not without side effects. Roxas was made stronger and faster, as well as getting glowing red eyes. The Alchemy was extremely painful and Macron told him that he would have to have a strong will to survive. Roxas's skin would literally ripple as his body changed, this lasted until it had fully run it's course and he was completely healed. While on board the space station, terrorists attacked various places in the Sepros System, to effect the environment of the several planets. Macron, Fremoc, [[Malisane Sadow]], and Roxas headed for Aeotheran to aid there, while other members of Naga Sadow spread throughout the system to aid in other areas.

====Aeotheran and a bikini clad blonde (EQ1)====
Macron, Fremoc, [[Malisane Sadow]], and Roxas landed outside of [[Kel Rasha]] near a power plant across from a beach. While crossing the beach, littered with civilians, a sniper shot Roxas's helmet, breaking the T shaped visor. Instantly many terrorists began running from the power plant and firing at the group of dark Jedi. Civilians in the area ran for their lives, except one woman, who was so frightened that she couldn't move. Roxas sprang into action, rapping her with his crimson cape and setting the damaged helmet over her blonde head to protect her. He then carried her to safety, where she thanked him with a kiss and promised to meet him again at the Crossroads. Roxas and the woman were extremely enamored with each other and had a strong attraction, even though they had just met. The four Sadowans quickly an easily took care of the terrorists within the power plant, thanks to the Mandalorian's flamethrower.

=====[[Marakith Skyhook]]=====
Locke, Methyas, Mirado, and [[Atra Ventus]] confronted Macron over the recent evidence that they had witnessed. That included the weird alchemically created creatures on Gamuslag as well as [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow]] imprisonment. Roxas stepped in to aid Macron by fighting both Locke and Mirado at the same time, but Roxas was overcome by Mirado's expertise in [[Teras Kasi]].The fight waged on until the Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] used the Force to subdue everyone to end the fight, so that he could take Macron with him to Antei. Years ago Muz had ordered Macron to secretly use alchemy on members of Naga Sadow to create many strong Force adepts. The only members that Macron was able to turn into "experiments" were Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow, Atra Ventus, and Roxas Buurenaar. Of the three only Atra and Roxas are known to be stable. While Roxas was out cold Locke assumed the role of Consul and granted Teu with the title of Proconsul. He also made Atra Quaestor of Shar Dakhan. When Roxas awoke he told Locke that he didn't know how to handle the Krath's treason, so when he needed Roxas that he should send Mirado to mediate and then left the skyhook and headed for Tarthos.

====Tarthos/The Crossroads (36ABY)====
Roxas waited for the woman that he rescued on Aeotheran, so he could get his cape and helmet back. He was also going to take her on a date. She arrived drenched from the rain. She told him that her name is Pacifica Angelus. Their date was interrupted by some thugs, so Roxas attacked them. Pacifica being an advocate of peace asked Roxas not to kill all of them; even though, the thugs planned on raping her. He did as she asked and while dragging the remaining two out of The Crossroads he noticed that the city had fallen into chaos due to riots. He made sure that Pacifica was safe and then aided the DSOG troopers that were fighting to end the riots.

[[File:Roxas Training.jpeg|thumb|left|200px|Roxas training in the forest outside Ragnos Cathedral]]
=====A Storm Is Coming=====
Roxas and Pacifica hit it off well. She went to visit her parents for a while, so Roxas went into the woods outside of the [[Ragnos Cathedral]] to train and hopefully to learn a way to counter [[Teras Kasi]] in case he was to ever encounter it again in the future.

===Children of Revolution===
{{Quote|So Roxas, how does a hero to the people become a traitor?|}}
{{Quote|I have no idea what “hero” means. And it’s not easy to get a straight answer when I ask for the definition. There is no such word in my language.|Macron and Roxas}}
The summit had summoned every member of Clan Naga Sadow to meet at the [[Sadow Palace]] on [[Sepros]], but Roxas chose to ignore the call and continue his training, knowing that it was most likely something to do with the fact that Locke had taken the mantle of Consul from Macron by Force and that Roxas didn't want to have any part in a civil war within the clan. Not long after the first call, Roxas received another that a member of Marka Ragnos named [[Setsuna Sakurazaki]] was injured and asking for aid in Markosian city because the city had been attacked my Macron's Sith spawn ewoks and other alchemically altered creatures. Roxas headed for Markosian to provide aid, but soon after helping her, Setsuna turned on Roxas with a heart stun and arrested him, ordering troops to take him to Sepros. In transit Roxas woke up and attacked the troopers that were holding him and attempted to escape as the ship started to land on Sepros, but Teu stopped him by overpowering him with her Force abilities. Roxas was then stripped to his underwear and locked in the detention center of the Sadow Palace. Soon after being captured, [[Atra Ventus]] the new Quaestor to Shar Dakhan came to Roxas and offered him freedom if he would join him under the cause of reuniting the Clan and without a second thought the Mandalorian accepted. Atra and Roxas came across Macron in the damaged halls of Sadow palace after it had been attacked by a horde of terrified wildlife and they headed to confront Locke in the consul's office. Locke and Macron fought out their differences and the rest of the supposed traitorous members had resolved their issues as well. Once again the Clan was whole; although, Markosian City had been left in a frozen ruin in the process.

===Sepros System Invaded===
The two Houses of [[Scholae Palatinae]] and [[Plagueis]] allied with each other and invaded the Sepros System, attacking the planet of Sepros and the city of [[Kel Rasha]] on Aeotheran. After receiving the information that the system had invaded, Roxas formed a small team to attack the space fleet by boarding enemy ships and destroying them from the inside. The team consisted of [[Robert Sadow]], [[Darth Vexatus]], [[Tyren Atema]], and the new Aedile of Shar Dakhan [[Kairus]]. Bob and "Xanos" provided cover with star fighters while the other three boarded enemy ships. They were successful in temporarily disabling the [[MJHC Relentless]]. While aboard the cruiser the three Sadowans worked well together; although, they had never been properly acquainted, even fighting to help each other. At one point Tyren had been outnumbered and injured, so Roxas came to his aid. While helping Tyren, the Mandalorian's left arm was hit with a [[Plagueis Powers#Spear_of_Midnight_Black|Spear of Midnight Black]], which broke his arm. The team was called back to Sepros in order to help the ground forces drive the remaining enemies from the planet just as the enemy houses turned on each other. After the battle Roxas and Atra, the two experiments of Macron Goura Sadow, spoke slightly. Atra thanking Roxas for making the decision to not forsake the Sadowan Summit and to rejoin the Clan proper; although, Roxas still had his reason, it was the choice that mattered. Soon afterward Roxas met Pacifica's parents and got her father's blessing to be with her. Setsuna also returned the white bladed lightsaber to Roxas, but he kept using his cyan one.

=Rebirth Of Clan Buurenaar=
===Horizons===
Roxas woke up early in the morning due to a nightmare. He decided to go to the Cross Roads on Tarthos and grab his Mandalorian armor, which he had left there for safe keeping. He quickly returned to his girlfriend's home on Aeotheran and he made her pack her bags. The two jumped into a speeder and headed for the spaceport. Although the speeder was under heavy fire from the spaceport, Roxas was able to get through the defenses. There he met [[Coop Ter'An]] and [[Tiberius Di Cloud]]. Roxas ordered a transport to take Pacifica to Mandalore and deliver her to his parents for safe keeping. Roxas had secretly messaged his father and taken the reigns as leader of Clan Buurenaar, by giving the order to protect Pacifica with his life. Their ship stalled on their way to Antei and they were picked up by various members of Clan Arcona and other houses. Under the eefects of the plague Coop attacked Roxas. Roxas proved his metal against the crazed Journeyman by knocking him out and sparing his life. Roxas then aided in retaking [[Yridia II]] from Zoraan's forces before returning to the [[Orian System]] to strike back and return the system to Sadowan control as well as to show that Clan Naga Sadow would not stand for invasion. During this time Roxas began secretly training with [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] because the atrocities he had witnessed from the plague had troubled him.

===Mand'alor Buurenaar (37 ABY)===
{{Quote| Take the sword of our people and rebuild us. I will not be able to lead us until I have restored our honor.|Roxas to his father}}
Once a small peace had returned to the Orian System Roxas, left for Dxun. He would need to do a few things before going to see his parents. While on Dxun, he searched his Grandfather's old room at the now abandoned base that belonged to his Mandalorian Clan. There he found the sword that he used to fight the dark jedi that killed his clan. The sword was dusty, but didn't lose it's edge or it's meaning. Only the leader of Clan Buurenaar could carry the weapon. With the sword in his possession Roxas headed to Mandalore. On Mandalore he presented the sword to his father and made him the leader of the clan. With his parents' approval of Pacifica he proposed to her and returned with her to Aeotheran. Roxas began secretly training in the lightside with Methyas, but not to become a Jedi. After seeing a lot of the darkness and evil done by darksiders, Roxas decided that he should be more grey. His feelings for Pacifica also influenced Roxas making his alignment lighter.

====Legacy of Sadow and a Crusade====
[[File:Roxas right eye.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Roxas's right eye]]Roxas was given a mission to scout out the city of [[Kel Rasha]] on [[Aeotheran]], to take it back from One Sith that had taken the city as their own. He reached the planet with a LOLO jump and preceded to infiltrate the city using prototype equipment that would possibly become standard issue for Naga Sadow. The equipment consisted of a black cape that would turn into a glider when jerked in a specific manner and a small grappling hook that attaches to the wrist and can be used repeatedly. He successfully used the gear to infiltrate the city and was even able to adapt the equipment to help him sneak through the streets without being noticed. He gathered the needed information for an invasion to begin retaking the planet and found that his greatest enemy was in the city. Roxas followed him to a small underground base in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] and then found out the name of the man, who killed his Mandalorian Clan, was [[Crissor]]. Roxas fought Crissor to avenge his Clan, but slowly turned from wanting vengeance to wanting justice. This weakened the Force Bond between them and allowed some of Macron's alchemy, that had yet to take hold, flow into Roxas and change him yet again. The changes were minor, being an odd Sith'esk "tattoo" in the cornea of his right eye, fangs, and stronger slightly longer fingernails that were claw like. Roxas killed Crissor breaking the Force Bond, but not after taking some serious injuries and completely destroying what had made him recognizable with in Naga Sadow, his Mandalorian Armor. Roxas sat against a vehicle at the battle site to rest and had a vision of his grandfather, who told him that the Sword of Buurenaar isn't the actual symbol of the Clan's leader, but an ancient lightsaber created by their ancestor is. He also told him that the main branch of Clan Buurenaar secretly used the Force at one time, but it had fallen out of practice. Roxas left to Endor to collect his fallen Mandalorian brothers from long ago, but more importantly to get a lead to the Lightsaber of his Clan. Once he arrived on Endor the owner of Galactic Exports informed Roxas that the competing company is back to its old tricks and that his help was needed. Roxas agreed to help, so long as he was given everything that belonged to his Clan.

=====Dark Crusade=====
During this time period forces of the brotherhood were sent to many planets in the Sith System to retake them from the One Sith and claim dominion of them. Each unit (clan or house) that conquered the planet got to keep it.

=====Fenrir and a wedding=====
During a time of rest between battles of the Dark Crusade Roxas acted on a vision he had received from the spirit of his grandfather, to find a lightsaber created by his ancestor, by going to Endor to gather the remains of his fallen Mandalorian Clan and to help the company that he had been hired too all those years ago. The CEO of the company gathered the remains and equipment of the fallen members of Clan Buurenaar while Roxas once again lead an assault against their enemy logging company. Roxas was successful in destroying the company quietly and even defeating [[Crissor|Crissor's]] old Apprentice. The apprentice was a young woman that had the lightsaber of Clan Buurenaar surgically implanted into her body. Once he had removed the lightsaber from her body his grandfather's spirit reappeared and told him that the name of the weapon was Fenrir and that it was created by their ancestor thousands of years ago to defeat a Sith that out of insanity vowed to destroy Clan Buurenaar and implant his soul in its leader. Roxas knowing the laws of the Brotherhood decided not to use the weapon upon his return to Aeotheran, so that it wouldn't taken from him and to keep him from using it until he was given the rights to a custom lightsaber. The weapon once contained an incineration crystal, but it was sucked dry of its energy from being implanted in the woman. The power of it burned her alive without the hilt inside her to regulate the power.

After returning Roxas and Pacifica Angelus were married. It was a decently sized, but private ceremony; involving her entire family and his parents. After the ceremony Roxas and Pacifica performed a traditional Mandalorian marriage with both his and her parents as witnesses. At the reception Roxas's father gifted him with a blank set of Durasteel alloy Mandalorian armor plate, gauntlets, and a helmet; all to be used in the construction of a new suit; although, Roxas had already begun construction of a next generation suit.

[[File:Roxas Strike Armor 1.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Roxas's Strike Armor with prototype rifle]]

=====Sins of Our Fathers and Betrayal from within=====
Clan Naga Sadow launched a small offensive against Taldryan trainees to show that CNS shouldn't be mocked or threatened. Soon after a Commando from CNS name Daggath Prost hacked the SHADOW network and went rogue. He headed for Nar Shaddaa to sell the information to the highest bidder. Roxas completed his advanced suit of Mandalorian Armor that he designated as "Strike Armor," just before heading out to join Macron, who had created a team to catch Prost, on Nar Shaddaa. The Strike Armor was damaged, causing Roxas to later begin testing and improving on the armor periodically. The Sadowans caught and killed Prost after leaving a lot of collateral damage in their wake.

=====After Athis=====
Roxas was promoted to [[Obelisk Prelate]]. He moved in with Pacifica at her home on Aeotheran. Roxas, Macron, [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], and [[Maelous Ascarend]] formed a team to retake Markosian City on Tarthos. Two teams had been formed to try and make a small competition of it, but the four Sadowans won and even took care of all the people that might become a threat later. The four Sadowans began calling themselves The Four Horsemen because each of them resembled a member of the ancient apocalyptic tale. After yet again liberating Markosian, Roxas repaired and began using Fenrir, but the weapon wasn't at its full strength because he wasn't able to get ahold of an incineration crystal.

======The Horsemen of Naga Sadow======
They decided to accept their destiny and began calling themselves [[The Horsemen of Sadow]]. They took up new names that suited their abilities.

=After Great Jedi War XI/Slice of life/Awakenings/Awakened from the dream=
Roxas fought valiantly during this war, same as many other warriors on each side of the conflict, but soon after the Orion System was attacked by The Organization and while fighting against them on Tarthos he was captured, but not before rescuing his wife and her parents on Aeotheran and secretly helping to free the city from The Organization's control. While in captivity they experimented with unique forms of torture and brain washing, trying to turn the Sith Spawn Horseman of War to their cause. Dragoon began a search for Roxas after the conflict had ended, the trail had gone cold, but he was able to gather some intel that he too to the Consul Locke Sonjie. When the opportunity arose Locke sent a small team to find and rescue Roxas. The team consisted of Cethgus Tiberius Entar, Sanguinius and Marcus. They succeeded in rescuing finding Roxas, who then aided in his own escape, but not without sustaining serious injury and had to be put into a medically induced coma. He awoke a few months later and immediately headed for Mandlore where he fought an enemy madalorian clan and returned to the Orion System with his wife, who he was surprised to learn was pregnant with his child.

= Random Information =
Roxas only knows two languages: Basic and Mandoa. He believes anything else is a waste of his time. He strongly follows Resol'nare with one exception being the use of the Force, he justifies this by referring that the Force is a weapon and that is how he intends to use it. He also justifies the Force by almost twisting the Mandalorian code of Resol'nare by stating that he only uses the Force for vengeance. It is unknown where he currently lives and when asked he replies either Mandalore or Dxun. There have been many rumors that he either lives in a hut in the woods of Tarthos or he doesn't sleep at all and instead spends all of his spare time in the training halls. The latter of the two is convenient as Roxas usually does spend his time training; although, Roxas has moved into the back room of [[The Crossroads]] and lives there; only a few people actually know that he lives there. Roxas is driven by duty and honor, but he won't let the quest for honor kill him, as he is wise enough to know when he is doing something stupid. Fremoc views Roxas as a failed apprentice, even though Roxas passed the training and earned the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]].

===Power of the [[Fremoc#Demonic|Demon]]===
During his training with Fremoc, Demonic would make many appearances. It lead Roxas to believe that his master couldn't fully control Demonic. Soon it was as if Fremoc wasn't training Roxas at all, but Demonic was. In fighting the "two" Roxas was almost forced into taking on the lightsaber form [[Shii-Cho]] in order to survive. He quickly grew extremely proficient in the form and he is able to adapt the form to almost any combat situation. When Roxas wasn't training with Fremoc/Demonic he was secretly using the Force power Hibernation Trance to learn the power of Demonic for himself. He eventually was able to learn it, but not the same way as his master. Roxas learned that it was a Force Form and how to control it without creating an alter persona. Roxas can use the Force From for three minutes without suffering more than extreme exhaustion, but for each additional minute after the initial three he loses one hour of consciousness; and after eight minutes the ability becomes instantly lethal upon deactivation of the Force Form. With time he may grow strong enough to where he can use the form longer, but it is unconfirmed if this is possible or if the form's limitations are set permanently.

== Equipment ==
=== Lightsabers ===
[[File:Roxas' Lightsabers.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Roxas' Lightsabers]]
Upon reaching knighthood Roxas constructed his first lightsaber, which he affectionately calls "The Wolf's Fang." After constructing his first saber, Roxas immediately began training in the lightsaber form known as Shii-Cho, which is an aggressive and deceptive lightsaber form. During World Wreckers the wolf's fang was damaged, so Roxas had to build a new lightsaber. It differed from his first in that it had a straight hilt with padding for his hand and a white blade. That blade was later taken by Setsuna during Children of Revolution, so Roxas had to construct his third lightsaber. The color of the blade slightly matches the eye color of Pacifica Angelus. The white blades saber was eventually returned by Setsuna and the Cyan blade was destroyed, but instead of going back to the other Roxas created a new one. It had a red blade and matching accents, he did it to match his Sith Spawn status. It was destroyed by Crissor, so Roxas went back to the white blade.

====Fenrir====
[[File:Roxas_Buurenaar_custom_saber1.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Fenrir]] Fenrir is the lightsaber created by Roxas's ancestor to defeat Crissor. The blade originally held an incineration crystal, but it was sapped of its power, so Roxas replaced it with an adegan crystal. The weapon is Roxas's birthright, as he is the rightful leader of Clan Buurenaar. The lightsaber has secretly been passed down the main branch of the Clan since it's creation. In order to get the weapon back Roxas had to carve it out of the stomach of Crissor's apprentice. It was implanted in her, so she would be more powerful in the Force. It worked, but once the blade was removed from her she burst into flames. The power that she absorbed from the incineration crystal could no longer be regulated by Fenrir, with it removed from her body. At times it seems as if the lightsaber has a mind of it's own, in actuality it is the spirit of it's creator/Roxas's ancestor exuding his influence in an attempt at coomunication. Fenrir can only be wielded by someone of the main branch of Clan Buurenaar, and of immediate family (IE significant others) The weapon was created to protect the family of its owner and to destroy Crissor.

=Trivia=
*I based Roxas off of many different characters, but one in particular was Solid Snake/Big Boss of the Metal Gear Solid series. I also attempted to lightly base him off of my own personality, by making him able to apply his knowledge and problem solving skills to figure things out on his own, but he still needs help on occasion.
*I asked Macron for the Alchemy because I needed something that would set my character apart from others (especially since the numbers of Force Adept Mandalorians in the DB is rising)
*Pacifica Angelus is Latin for Peaceful Angel, I created her to try and give Roxas something more to fight for that vengeance for the death of his family, I also created her to develop him into understanding more about life and that there are other things to live for besides war. In a way I wanted to give him more depth and mature him.
*Don't speak Mando'a on the CNS mIRC channel or you'll get kicked (I know from experience) >.>

[[File:Roxas Vengance Beskar'gam.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Vengeance armor.]]
=== Armor ===
{{On Notice (Armor)}}
Roxas had two suits of Mandalorian armor. Both of which he made himself. Both suits of armor that Roxas had, were equipped with a forearm mounted flame thrower, forearm mounted blaster, and grapple hooks on each arm. The helmets all had night vision, a compass with GPS navigation, a range finder, and are sealed from the outside environment. The helmets can supply him with a limited amount of air if he is submerged in water or in a vacuum. The helmets are also capable of marking bounty targets or enemies and tracking them across great distances. Roxas developed a special suit of Mandalorian Armor to combat the Dark Jedi that destroyed his Clan. It is made of durasteel, but during the fabrication process he heat treated the metal to the point where it became extremely dense and sturdy, essentially carbonizing it. He refused to use this armor for anything other than avenging his Clan, hence the gold color, which to Mandalorians stands for vengeance. The golden suit of armor was destroyed during "Unrest in the City." The other suit of armor in his possession was locked in the safe at The Crossroads by order of Mirado (Shown in the Regulator section of this page). Roxas has effectively discarded that suit, but has been known to still use it on occasion.

[[File:Roxas Strike Armor 3.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Roxas's Strike Armor without helmet]]
====Mandalorian Strike Armor====
Extremely more advanced than [[starwars:Mandalorian armor|Madalorian Shock Trooper]] armor in that every part of the suit was armored with miniature plates that protected better than standard armor, but still allowed a full range of movement. Roxas also made it with an exceptionally strong, but light Durasteel alloy. The Strike Armor combines all the benefits of Neo-Crusader, Supper commando, and Shock armor; while downsizing on the negatives of each suit by an improved operating system that allowed for it work without a rangefinder. The suit also contained a hidden blade, slug thrower, blaster, and grapple hook on each gauntlet. Small jump jets were hidden in panels on the back of the suit that would help stabilize the suit in mid-range flight. Other than those few changes, the suit was comparable with any other Mandalorian armor and even outfitted with the same equipment, give or take a few things depending on weight or size. The Mark I model failed as a slug from an MWC Enforcer breached the armor and injured Roxas. He reworked the alloy and created Mark II, which shortly failed during testing because the flight system was difficult to control, so with the Mark III he added flight stabilizers to the bottom of each leg. The Mark III's combat systems were heavy causing it to be slow and cumbersome in combat, so the weapons systems were streamlined and the size and shape of the armor plates were reworked to allow more movement and still give the same protection; creating the Mark IV. The Mark IV was nearly what Roxas wanted in a complete covereage suit, but the operating system was lacking and it needed a better power source to sustain flight for further distances. Roxas then created the Mark V; and improved the combat capabilities with crushgaunts and reactive fabric to improve his strength and speed. The Mark V also had an improved power system which enabled it to sustain short to mid range flight.

=== Casual Wear===
[[File:ScoundrelSithCloak.jpg|left|50px]]
When not in armor or when he is at [[The Crossroads]] Roxas will wear the clothes of a "scoundrel." He wears a gun belt that has a small hook in the back for his lightsaber, so he can hide it while in public. Roxas prefers to wear large thick jackets because he spends most of his time on Tarthos and he isn't used to the mostly cold climate.

===Combat attire===
[[File:AssassinObelisk.jpg|right|50px]]
When going into combat, where Roxas cannot use his Mandalorian armor, he will wear the outfit of an Obelisk Assassin. He finds that the equipment is perfect for a variety of missions, including: infiltration, solo sneaking, and standard combat. Though he prefers to wear his beskar'gam, he finds the suit to be useful and acknowledges its affective attributes. Roxas also wears a cloak designed to turn into a glider when tugged tightly. The cloak is a prototype that was tested by Roxas for the assassins of CNS, but it never went into mass production. He also wears jump jets on his boots to help him sustain flight with the glider.

=== Blasters ===
Roxas uses a Dlarit NR3 Submachine gun and a Dlarit NR2 Combat Pistol. Both weapons are slug throwers, which were preferred by the Night Raptors before they were disbanded. He also uses an out dated [[starwars:DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System|DC-17m interchangeable weapon system]]. Roxas uses this blaster rifle because it is very versatile, having a sniper attachment and an anti-armor attachment. This blaster rifle was used by Republic Commandos during the Clone Wars. Roxas's DC-17m was destroyed during "Unrest in the City". Since Roxas has begun using a [[starwars: FWG-5 flechette pistol|FWG-5 Flechette Pistol]] because it is a dual purpose weapon, with the capability to fire "heat-based energy rounds" or a group of pellets that made it like a miniature shotgun.
===Knives===
[[File:Roxas Bowie.JPG|thumb|left|75px|The bowie that Roxas uses]] Roxas began carrying a Bowie Knife after the standard issue DSOG combat knife he was using was cut by a lightsaber. Roxas chose one with a handguard, so he could use the handguard to make his punches harder and knock out his opponents easier. This bowie has a 10 1/8 inch blade, which makes the weapon 15 3/8 inches overall.

'''Robert Sadow''' has served the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] for nearly a decade. He has gone through many life-altering changes in his time and continues to learn each and every day of his existence. He is a Sith Warlord, [[Rollmaster]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]], and [[Son of Sadow]].

==History==

===The Early Days===

''34 BBY- 15 BBY''

Rowan Daragon, a member of the [[starwars:True Mandalorians|True Mandalorians]], knowing that the end was near, sent his wife and unborn son into hiding. He was killed along with the extermination of the True Mandalorians by the Jedi during the [[starwars:Battle of Galidraan|Battle of Galidraan]]. His son Robert never met his father.

Robert grew up on the streets of NeeHa, pretty much living a non-existent life. Doing odd jobs and learning the skills that one needs to survive in this galaxy. He assisted many bounty hunters, assassins, and mercenaries and learned lots and lots about ground warfare. But his dream was always to fly.

===Joining the Empire===

''15 BBY- 4 ABY''

When the Old Republic disbanded and became the Empire, Robert knew that was the life for him. So he quickly applied for the Imperial Academy and after passing all the requirements he was accepted. After many missions and accomplishments Robert was lucky enough to be assigned to the Imperial Star Destroyer [[starwars:Chimaera|Chimaera]]. After showing his capabilities, Robert was offered an assignment in Special Ops. It turned out they were putting together a special squadron named [[starwars:Black Wing Squadron|Black Wing Squadron]]. Black Wing's main mission was to deal with the Rebel's Rogue Squadron. They issued the squadron newly invented Tie Defenders. But on their first mission, which was supposed to be the end of Rogue Squadron along with the rebel fleet, tragedy struck. That battle later became known as the battle of Endor. After the loss of his squadron along with the Death Star, the Executor, Darth Vader, and the Emperor himself, Captain Pellaeon of the SD Chimaera gave the order to retreat. Robert Daragon reluctantly hyperspaced back to Coruscant.

===The Wandering Years===

''4 ABY- 14 ABY''

[[image:harkonnen.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Vlad Harkonnen]]
After returning to Coruscant Robert realized the Empire was dying, without the Emperor or Lord Vader there really weren't any strong leaders. Issard had taken over the Imperial City and most of the Admirals had declared themselves warlords and separated from the Empire. Robert left the Empire and for the next ten years took numerous jobs, made a few friends and even more enemies. It was during this time that Robert met his Mentor, Vladimir Harkonnen. Baron Harkonnen ran a spice exploitation operation on the planet Arrakis. Robert took a position in the operation and Harkonnen took a liking to the young pilot. The two soon become inseparable as the Baron treated Robert like a son and began to show him all the skills that he possesses today.

After helping the Baron run his operation for several years, a coup d’état was staged by a rival family, which ended in a great battle between warlords which Harkonnen lost. The Baron was dead after the outcome of the battle, in which he was killed by a mystical religious fanatic’s poisoned needle.

With the outcome of the defeat on Arrakis, Robert needed to move on. He had heard about a special group when he was in Special Ops called the Emperor's Hammer and after using some connections and passing the requirements, Robert Daragon joined the Dark Brotherhood.

==The Dark Brotherhood==

''14 ABY''

On March 12 of the year 14 ABY Robert became a member of the Dark Brotherhood. He originally joined House Borealis of Clan Aquillas as a member of the Sith, but a new House that was just founded quickly caught his eye. So after only nine days in Aquillas he moved to House Naga Sadow.

Unfortunately, after only two months from the founding of House Naga Sadow, Quaestor Tron Sadow was called away on a critical mission to Byss and was forced to step down as Quaestor. His Aedile, Krath Priest Taage, was named the next Quaestor. Quaestor Taage, needing a new Aedile, Robert Daragon was chosen. So after only being in the Dark Brotherhood for a mere month and a half, Robert was a Dark Jedi Knight and the Aedile of House Naga Sadow (talk about being in the right place at the right time).
Krath Priest Taage's term was short, as he stepped down and left the Dark Brotherhood entirely for a bounty hunting career. But upon his departure, Tron Sadow returned and took his rightful place as Quaestor. Keeping me as his Aedile we would lead House Naga Sadow through some interesting times.

One of House Naga Sadow's greatest victory involved the pirate Uhrias. Quaestor Tron Sadow led the house in defeating the pirate and claiming his Nebulan-B frigate, the Foresight, as Naga Sadow property. During this operation Robert lost his right hand and forearm due to a thermal detonator.

In April of 14 ABY Robert made a decision to transfer to the Krath order. Without any Krath leadership in the house he took upon the role and assisted the Krath members in Operation Deep Strike. House Naga Sadow played a very important role in this Dark Brotherhood operation, lead by Quaestor Tron Sadow.

===A Clan is Born===

''15 ABY''

For a year Tron Sadow and Robert Daragon brought House Naga Sadow through many tough times. Until April 3 of 15 ABY when Tron's dream came true and Grand Master Khyron approved "Clan" Naga Sadow. Robert was named as Tron's Proconsul and was moved up to the rank of Krath Archpriest. Thus a new era had begun.

After being a clan for two weeks, Naga Sadow lost the Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos. As a Quaestor was a position Robert really desired, he stepped down as Proconsul to take the Quaestor position. But within a month Consul Tron Sadow was once again forced to step down. So with the encouragement of many members Robert hesitantly took the position of Consul. This would be the beginning of the troubles for him.
After nineteen days of unresolved dealings with the Dark Council (GM Stryker's office), which included a Great Jedi War, Robert stepped down from all positions and joined House Marka Ragnos.

===A Dark Time For Bob===

After numerous disagreements with the Dark Council Robert was charged by the newly formed Chamber of Justice of Treason. He was placed under arrest and brought before the Inquisitors. Robert went peacefully as he believed himself innocent, but quickly learned he had made a very huge mistake. Robert was found guilty of treason and sentenced to death, however due to his dedication of service the punishment was reduced. Instead of death, he was subjected to months and months of torture. He was brutally disfigured until he was unrecognizable. His wife and son were brought before him and executed while he watched. And finally he was stripped of his ability to use the force. Soon he was released, forbidden to ever return to the Dark Brotherhood territories....so he disappeared for a time.

===The Return===

''16 ABY- 17ABY''

After a short time Robert Daragon once again joined the Dark Brotherhood, being so disfigured he was not recognized. Under an alias of Rob Rowan, he joined the Krath order once again in House Marka Ragnos. Starting all over again as an Apprentice of the Dark side he began retraining. In just over a month he had once again re-graduated the Shadow Academy and held the rank of Guardian. Looking for new ways to challenge himself he offered his services as Clan Librarian, and created the Clan Archives, The Sadow Files.

But seeking something new out of his "second chance" in the Dark Brotherhood, he decided to return to the ways of the Sith. So he transferred to House Ludo Kressh, where he helped out in Operation Darkfall and a Great Jedi War. In his time in Ludo Kressh Robert moved up to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight and in January of 17 ABY was named the Commander of Sapphire squadron.

After a short time leading, or corrupting as some people accused him of, Sapphire squadron; Robert once again returned to following the ways of the Krath order. Remaining in Clan Naga Sadow he transferred to House Marka Ragnos, where Robert was quickly named the Aedile. But it just wasn't for him and he returned to House Ludo Kressh and was named the Commander of Diamond squadron.

For seven months Robert lead Diamond squadron, but House Ludo Kressh was quickly becoming a place where drunken commanders where looked down upon. The Kressh cantina was getting less and less more popular. Thus a place Bob didn't belong in. So looking for a new home, he joined the elite Sith house in the Dark Brotherhood; [[House Archanis]] of [[Clan Taldryan]]. But became restless and went out wandering the universe as a Rogue Jedi.

===Return to Naga Sadow===

''18 ABY''

After a short time wondering Robert once again returned to his home of [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. He agreed to take the position of Aedile of [[House Marka Ragnos]] and than moved on to become Quaestor of [[House Primus Goluud]].

Rebuilding House Primus Goluud with the help of Battlemasters [[Raistlin Majerus Sadow]] and CrimsonAngel, the house took part in a Clan Feud. While ultimately being defeated the young house held its own. After six months it was once again time for Robert to take his rightful place as commander of the best damn squadron in the Dark Brotherhood, [[Sapphire Squadron]].
[[Image:CNS.jpeg|thumb|right|150px|Clan Naga Sadow]]
After a short time Quaestor Scithe decided to step down after a long term as leader of [[House Ludo Kressh]]. Robert replaced him as the house’s fifth Quaestor. Everything was going great in the house, it was truly one of the most active times. Then a great debate took place between the Dark Council and the Emperor’s Hammer Fleet Commander. When the decision was given from Consul [[Darth Vexatus]] to leave the [[Phare System]] Robert was forced with a very difficult decision. House Ludo Kressh being the Sith of the clan, had quite a few members who were also ranking members of the Emperor’s Hammer Tie Corps. Thus most were not leaving. Unlike the revolt that happened in House Primus Goluud, the separation in Ludo Kressh was handled peacefully. Aedile [[Malik Sadow]] decided to choose with the so-called separatists. All members who chose to go with him were allowed to collect their belongings and leave with him. Robert decided to stay behind and assist a large portion of the house that had decided to stay.

===The Exodus===

''19 ABY- 23 ABY''

The next few weeks were very difficult times. Robert fought and fought with the Dark Council to stop the closing of Clan Naga Sadow. But he was continually turned down. The clan was to be closed and the loyal members were to be merged into an existing clan. Robert assisted with this procedure than retired from the Emperor’s Hammer forever.

After a short time Robert arrived at the [[Orian system]] and rejoined House Ludo Kressh. Upon returning he found his beloved Sapphire Squadron abandoned and closed down. By being very persistent with his Quaestor, he was allowed to re-open the squadron. Soon numerous veterans of Clan Naga Sadow began to return and join Robert in Sapphire. The squadron was once again alive and than another opportunity arose. House Primus Goluud was in need of experience and a new leader, so Robert took the position of Quaestor of Primus Goluud.

Robert had his hands full as the Dark Brotherhood was still regrouping from the Exodus and having trouble getting new members. The house slowly began to grow but it soon became obvious for the Clan to continue to prosper it would have to down size. So the members of Primus Goluud were transferred to the other two houses and House Primus Goluud was no more.

Returning to Ludo Kressh he once again found himself in charge of Sapphire Squadron and when Quaestor J’Rai Sadow stepped down, Robert regained his position as Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh.

===Son of Sadow===

''23- 26 ABY''

During his second term as Quaestor, some of the best new recruits for some time joined the Clan. Robert was also serving as the Clan Envoy at this time and got to see first hand the talent that graced Clan Naga Sadow. Most of these new members quickly moved up the ranks and have kept the tradition that Clan Naga Sadow is today.

For his hard work and long time dedication of Naga Sadow, Robert was awarded with the prestigious title of [[Son of Sadow]].

Robert made a few changes to the structure of the house, some of which you can still see today. But mostly Robert's second term was a failure on his part. He had many things going and than was forced to step down and leave the Brotherhood as he was called away for reasons even today Robert will not speak of.

===Back Again, But New Home===

''26 ABY''

After over a year, Robert rejoined the Brotherhood in House Ludo Kressh. He once again took over as Commander of Sapphire Squadron but soon found something lacking. During this time, he brutally abused and destroyed the [[Alcoholocron]] at a notorious Clan party. It was time for Robert Daragon to leave Clan Naga Sadow. He received the position of the Quaestor of [[House Satal Keto]] in [[Clan Plagueis]] and began a new chapter in his life.

Upon leaving Clan Naga Sadow, Robert was called before the Clan Summit. Consul [[Manesh Sadow]] stripped the title of [[Son of Sadow]] from the long time member. While initially hurt, Robert quickly realized that it was just a title and no matter what he would always be a Son of Sadow.

The welcome in Clan Plagueis was not a warm one. Robert quickly realized his leadership skills would need to be adjusted as within his first week he was turned in to the Chamber of Justice. Already going down that path once, Robert learned to adjust and give the members what they desired in a leader.

House Satal Keto slowly grew in strength and when the position of Proconsul became vacant, Robert's work was noticed and he was promoted. However, after only a short time Robert was forced to step down due to a strange illness.

The illness took a serious toll on the Sith and he was forced to go into seclusion and joined the rogues.

===Lost Family===

''28 ABY''

Fully recovered from his illness, Robert Daragon returned once again to the Clan that he would always consider this his home. After a short time Robert was once again appointed the Commander of Sapphire Squadron.

[[image:bobnew.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Robert Daragon- 29 ABY]]
With the loss of his father before he was even born, Robert Daragon grew up always looking for a new father figure never really paying much attention to his mother. So much so, that at a young age Robert had gone his own way and abandoned his mother all together. After Robert left, his mother had settled down beginning a new family that resulted in a son, Jerreth Atema.

Like his half-brother, Jerreth had the capabilities of the force, but chose a different path than Robert Daragon and they never crossed paths.

It would take decades before Robert would know of his brother, as fate had brought his nephews, Ylith Atema and Tyren Atema, to his home in Clan Naga Sadow. As Robert grew older he began to realize the void he had created with his lack of family. Wishing to fill that void he embraced the Atema’s as his true family, even taking their name. To redeem his past mistakes the Sith is very protective of his nephews as well as their families.

===Betrayal on Thor===

On a routine mission to the planet Thor in the Phare system, Robert Daragon’s life was shook upside down. The members of House Ludo Kressh had walked into a trap that had been set in motion for years. Fred the Seal had revealed himself as a traitor to Naga Sadow working for the remnants of the Phare system.

Along with Walord Kwanda Rosman, the leaders of the Phare system wanted their revenge on Clan Naga Sadow for their abandonment. Equipped with the deadly Sadow Virus, Fred flew the Sapphire Star towards Sepros planning to release the virus during the clan conclave. The members of Ludo Kressh on Thor had already been infected with the virus, including Robert Daragon.

After finally getting the upper hand on Warlord Rosman, Robert took the former Imperial Admiral’s life and contacted his former friend trying to stop him from his mission. Fred laughed at his former master’s request, telling him this was his destiny. The seal than revealed that it had been him that had ended the life of Sith Warrior CrimsonAngel a betrayal that Robert could never forgive Fred for. So Robert than entered in the override code for the Sapphire Star and set a course for Orian Minor. And that was the end of Fred the seal as the former flagship of Sapphire squadron crashed into the second sun of the Orain system.

===Life Change===

After the betrayal of his best friend and the exhausting encounter near Telos, Robert Daragon decided to change his ways. No longer would he rely on the primitive tools he had come accustomed to, the Sith Battlelord decided to push his training in the Dark Side beyond the limits he had experienced since being stripped of his powers so long ago. Robert would no longer substitute his blasters for his saber and he would no longer hide his ugliness beneath his white attire. Instead he would embrace his past failure and use this as strength to fuel his power thus making him more powerful than he had ever been. The training began and Robert Atema Daragon soon becomes more and more powerful.
