Mejas Doto is a solitary, hate filled figure who is as equally revered throughout [[Clan Arcona]] as he is feared outside of the Dajorra system. One of the most highly decorated and powerful Dark Jedi in the Brotherhood, the Shadow Lord is reknowned for his ferocity in battle, his malice towards all those he considers unworthy and his general lack of adherance to protocol, etiquette and rules.

{{Quote|Embrace the Darkness|Mejas Doto, di Primus Tenebrous Arconae}}

== Character History ==
=== The Beginning ===
[[Image:MejasFather.jpg|150px|left|thumb|A supposed image of Mejas Doto's father.]]Born on an unknown planet in the Outer Rim nineteen years before the Battle of Yavin, Mejas Doto was the son of two Zabrak; one a Bounty Hunter and the other a Mercenary. The couple were believed to be native to Iridonia but little to nothing is known about their existence. It has been suggested that Mejas was raised in the criminal underworld as an accomplice to his parents; some have implied that the child’s father must have been Force sensitive in order to begin Mejas’s training from an early age and helped nurture such a powerful Force user. However, there is no existing evidence to support either of these claims and Mejas Doto himself has never discussed his upbringing. It can only be presumed that the childhood of the Zabrak holds some explanation to his current character, as he is even more deeply brutal, aggressive and solitary than others of his species.

=== Induction into the Brotherhood ===
[[Image:Loki.jpg|100px|right|thumb|The planet Loki with its moon Hodr.]]On Loki in the [[Phare System]], [[House Marka Ragnos]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] had based their stronghold during the years of alliance with the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. It was here that Mejas was sold by the Trandoshan mercenary Zassk. The [[Clan]] summit, in a bid to revitalize their numbers and find the future of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], had provided a variety of mercenaries (Zassk being one of them) with the task of locating any Force sensitive users and bringing them to Loki for their “initial assessments”. No questions were asked by the contractor’s and the mercenaries couldn’t care either way. The story behind Mejas’s separation from his parents, to this date, is still unknown.

Upon arriving on Loki the stolen Zabrak was resolute, silent and controlled. He had no communication with his peers and when approached was so vicious in his assaults that soon nobody pressed Mejas for anything. During training he stood out amongst all others for his physical prowess, fighting skills and callous nature. However, his control of the Force was poor due to his inability to focus, remain patient and learn to harness his skills. This was almost his undoing as the Dark Jedi of Clan Naga Sadow only wanted the “students” who could prove themselves capable across all areas. Fortunately, the [[House|House's]] [[Quaestor]] at the time, [[Trevarus Caerick]], reviewed the students prior to their selection for execution or [[Shadow Academy]] training. He over ruled the training master, commenting that “''such primal hatred should never be dismissed so easily.''”

And so, Mejas was afforded the opportunity to train at the Shadow Academy under [[Headmaster]] [[Kumba]], as long as he agreed to return to Marka Ragnos upon his appointment to the rank of [[Guardian]]. The young Zabrak agreed – not for the sake of compliance or through fear or respect, but because he awaited the day when he could return to Loki and exact his vengeance upon all those who felt they controlled his destiny.

=== Infamy from the Start ===
[[Image:ShadowAcademyLogo.jpg|170px|left|thumb]]Mejas's development at the [[Shadow Academy]] on Aurora Prime, went exactly as the Dark Jedi of Clan Naga Sadow had hoped. His physical abilities were honed and perfected, building upon the basic skills his family had provided him and pushing himself further and further ahead of the majority of his peers. Even the much sought after break through in the use of the Dark Side of the Force occurred, and Mejas was quickly perfecting his combination of all skills in unison.

Having reached the rank of [[Acolyte]], Mejas was soon to be confirmed, by Headmaster Kumba, as a Guardian of House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow. In order for this confirmation to go ahead, the graduating students were called forth to put on a display of their new skills. They were instructed to defend the centre ground of the arena from the oncoming attack of a squadron of battle droids. The Headmaster was of course present to decide upon the student’s progress as was the [[First Archon]], Lord [[Chi-Long]] who had presumably be invited by the Headmaster for the event. As the melee started the seven Acolytes protected their terrain as instructed and displayed the exemplary combination of skills need for a [[Guardian]]. However, as the last droid was destroyed, Mejas Doto did not lower his training sabre like the others, he continued his assault, decapitating two students and severing another in half.

Headmaster Kumba was forced to intervene before any others were killed and he proceeded to assault the student telekinetically. Awakening in agony and in the custody of the First Archon of the [[Chamber of Justice]], Mejas Doto was demoted to [[Apprentice]] and informed that it was only with the grace and favor of Headmaster Kumba that he had avoided execution. The First Archon commanded the Zabrak not to be as foolish again as even the visceral nature of the Headmaster could not be disrespected more than once. For the first time Mejas accepted his instruction. This First Archon was a Dark Jedi of great integrity and power, Mejas could feel it and little did he know how important this Dark Jedi would be in his career.

After demotion Mejas quickly progressed through the ranks for a second time. His plan had worked and he had survived Kumba’s wrath in order to secure further training from the Shadow Academy. Upon his return to Loki, Mejas would be nearly ready enough to exact his vengeance. Clan Naga Sadow would pay for their treatment of the Zabrak.

=== Movement Between the Clans ===
Returning to House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow as a powerful Guardian, Mejas quickly established himself within the House. He was appointed Lore Master and Roll Master before being appointed [[Tetrarch]] of the revered [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. With the growing powers and influence of Mejas Doto the House Quaestor continued his promotions and Mejas became one of the fastest trained [[Dark Jedi Knight]]s in the history of the Brotherhood – even with his previous demotions. With new mastery of the Dark Side powers and his first version of the [[Mejas Doto#Weaponry|Bloodfang]] [[Lightsaber|lightsaber]] constructed, Mejas knew he was ready to exact his revenge.

It was during a mission with House Marka Ragnos that he again turned against his superiors and massacred friend and foe alike. The brethren of Marka Ragnos were culled the same as the Noghri enemies. The House was severely damaged; Trevarus Caerick was made to look a fool in front of his Clansmen and the Night Hawks Phyle turned their back on the treacherous act of their leader. Mejas was expelled from the Clan instantly and deported to [[House Ektrosis]] of [[Taldryan]] where his chaotic, callous sense of being was felt to be”’’more fitting’’”.

[[Image:Taldryan.png|right|thumb|The Clan Taldryan crest.]]In House Ektrosis, Mejas once again, managed to attain a multitude of positions and establish his abilities quickly. Quaestor [[Alanna]] took the tumultuous character under her tutelage and managed to stabilize the Zabrak’s erratic behavior… at least until her resignation. Another figure who supported Mejas’s development was the Clan [[Proconsul]], [[Grand Master]] [[Jac Cotelin]]. Both figures were extremely important in Mejas’s tenure within Taldryan, but as they faded out of the life of the Clan, so did their hold on Mejas’s behaviour.

Mejas should have been appointed Quaestoras both Alanna and [[Aedile]] Aseret Thunderhawk stepped down from their positions. His influence and work ethic within Ektrosis has been unrivaled and the amount of knowledge inculcated from the summit was enough to make him ready to lead. However, [[Consul]] Telaris “Mav” Cantor decided against this appointment and Mejas was forced into exile as the decision denied him any honor after his work for the Clan was ignored so completely.

Ordered to attend a meeting with [[Krath High Priest]] Arania Lawakiro, Mejas was instructed to take up stead in [[House Qel-Droma]] of Clan Arcona. From here Arania believed that Mejas could secure leadership of the stagnant House from Quaestor Alex and Aedile [[Voranyen d'Tana-Arconae|Voranyen d`Tana]]. True enough, the High Priest had scryed successfully and before long the House was revitalized and under the leadership of Mejas Doto. Under this leadership Mejas, the [[Star Chamber]] conferred the title of First House of the [[Krath]], to House Qel-Droma of Arcona, for their successful exploits on K’hamar’a in project “Minds of Hate”.

With stability provided to Qel-Droma and a solid membership of powerful brethren, Mejas finally turned his focus to the area of the Brotherhood where the most powerful members were located, the Dark Council. He realized his goal and sought work as [[Magistrate]] to many of the Councilors. Eventually, Headmaster Shups appointed Mejas as Magistrate and then [[Praetor]]. Mejas felt his path to the Dark Council secured, but alas, Grand Master Chi-Long felt that the Zabrak's leadership experience was too limited, and so he was overlooked for Headmaster when [[Dark Jedi Master]] Shups retired. Instead J`lek Arcanos was appointed Headmaster while Mejas provided support as Praetor.

However, it was well known that Mejas provided more than support and was in fact running the office of the Headmaster while J`Lek Arcanos succumbed to the new powers of the Dark Side that were made readily available to him as the head of the Shadow Academy. Such weakness sickened the Zabrak and his contempt for his superior grew, to the point where J`Lek Arcanos was but the puppet to Mejas's commands. For the good of the Brotherhood, the office of the Headmaster had to be protected and it had to be held by a Dark Jedi who could manage the great responsibilities. Mejas Doto felt that he was only a step away from securing this position.
 

=== Appointment to the Dark Council ===
[[Image:Picture-emblem1.jpg|135px|left|thumb]]Realizing his route to office would be opened up sooner than later, Mejas accepted his appointment as Consul of [[Clan Satal Keto]] in attempt to prove to Grand Master Chi-Long that he could lead at the very top end of the Brotherhood. The Zabrak's plans unfurled to deliver exactly what he wanted and within months he had secured the office of Headmaster of the Shadow Academy on Aurora Prime.

The office provided Mejas with opprotunities that were unavailable to him before and as he rose to the rank of [[Dark Side Adept]] his control of the Dark Side of the Force grew exponentially in a very short period of time. He was also honored by the Council with a [[Sapphire Blade]] and the much coveted [[Ruby Scepter]]. These awards reflect the restructuring of the Shadow Academy into the footprint of what it has now grown into. Co-ordinating with the Order Leaders, Mejas managed to implement an array of new courses into the [[Shadow Academy]] for the first time. These included, general courses such as the DSC studies and the leadership studies along with the first Krath Order studies into poetry, run-on writing and grammar. A new system was installed on Aurora Prime with the assistance of [[Seneschal]] Grail to help manage the learning, teaching and awarding of the Shadow Academy courses and the office of the Headmaster had procured its most stable holder since Headmaster Kumba.

=== Shattered Dreams and Broken Promises ===
Grand Master Chi-Long was a Grand Master of great vision who allowed his Council staff to develop and manage their affairs without micro-management. After Grand Master [[Zoraan]] he had shown himself as a true leader of the Dark Jedi, who walked amongst his brethren, reunited the Clans and lead from the front. His tenure as Grand Master allowed creativity amongst the offices and the Dark Council were loyal, true and focused on their Brotherhood. But the pressures of the Emperor's Hammer Command Fleet lead to Chi-Long's resignation.

Executive Officer Astatine feared the Brotherhood for their strength, individuality and their resistance to Imperial indoctrination. Manipulating the appointment of [[Sith High Warrior]] [[Firefox]] to Grand Master and maneuvering himself to reclaim his former position as [[Deputy Grand Master]], Astatine, and the Fleet Commander Ronin, had crushed the heart of the Brotherhood and tightened their iron grip. One of the many to fall foul of these developments was Mejas Doto.
[[Image:IronThrone.jpg|150px|right|thumb|The [[Iron Throne]].]]

Having worked successfully as Headmaster the Zabrak was now met with ridiculous demands from a Deputy Grand Master who feared the success of the reformed Shadow Academy and felt its pinch on his own Imperial Weapons and Tactics School (IWATS). Taking his concerns to Grand Master Firefox, Mejas was assured his work was not going unnoticed and his position on the Council was secure. Firefox even informed the Zabrak that his promotion to Dark Jedi Master was only weeks away for his work, all he had to do was complete Astatine's latest request.

Mejas accepted his new Grand Master's words and completed the task as requested. However, instead of ascending further down the route of the [[Elder]]s, Mejas was forced into direct conflict with the Deputy Grand Master Astatine, resulting in a battle where both Dark Jedi nearly died. Astatine was brought before the High Inquisitor [[Jedgar O. Paladin]] and forced into an exile from Aurora Prime for the period of a month. However, his ultimate humiliation had been what he needed most and as he publicly apologized for his conduct, he also announced the removal of Mejas Doto from office and informed the Brotherhood he would not be appointed to any leadership position higher than Aedile for the coming future...

Devastated by the treachery of his own supposed leaders, especially the silence of the Iron Throne, Mejas went into exile, his whereabouts for this exile still unknown to this day, although it is often speculated that the Zabrak journeyed to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ralltiir Ralltiir] to take the counsel at the bequest of Dark Jedi Master [[Kaine Mandaala]].
 

=== Herald Mandaala ===
[[Image:Kaine_mandaala_5.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Herald Kaine Archon Mandaala, the longest serving Dark Council member in the history of the Dark Brotherhood and the only "friend" Mejas Doto ever had.]]Herald Kaine Mandaala was the longest serving Dark Council member at the time of Mejas's removal from the office of Headmaster. He was a Dark Jedi of incredible importance to the Brotherhood, and with his position and time spent as an Elder of the Brotherhood he was always looked upon as adviser to the Iron Throne. It is known that Master Mandaala spoke out against [[Dark Prophet|Primarch]] Astatine's treatment of the Zabrak Adept and that he voiced his concerns over the loss of such a powerful Dark Jedi due to the Deputy Grand Master's fear of the Zabrak's potential. However, such comments were ignored and the Dark Council continued as normal.

In exile, it can only be presumed that Kaine sought out Mejas, or the Zabrak heard about the Herald's defense and returned to him. As stated previously, this is still unknown, however, a great, deep and long lasting bond was formed between the two Elders and after the Brotherhood had settled from Astatine's string of maltreatment, Mejas Doto returned as Magistrate to the Herald, much to the annoyance of many on the Dark Council.

Within months he had returned to his very beginnings in House Marka Ragnos and was once again appointed Tetrarch of the Night Hawks Phyle. At this point Astatine again informed the Clan summit and the Dark Adept that he could not rise above this position, and while the Deputy Grand Master was fooled into believing this was the case, Mejas had taken an active role in developing Proconsul [[Xanos Sadow|Xanos Zorrixor Goatham]]'s operations and was working with summits throughout the galaxy as a support aide - abeit unofficially!

With time the grip of the Emperor's Hammer loosened and the Brotherhood regained full control of it's own affairs. Mejas was awarded Sapphire Blade's and Emerald Dagger's for his work throughout the Brotherhood and eventually forced his way back into the office of Quaestor for both [[House Acclivis Draco]] and House Qel-Droma. Alongside these developments on a local level, Mejas was appointed Praetor to the Herald's office and lead in the creation and archiving of the [[Grant of Arms]] of the Brotherhood members. Astatine had been a fool if he believed that he could quell the drive of the Zabrak Adept. Astatine had been a fool if he thought the Brotherhood would forget how he abused her.

=== The Exodus ===
[[Image:Implogo.png|thumb|100px|right]]The alliance with the Emperor's Hammer could no longer be tolerated by the majority of the Clans or the Dark Council, and for this reason, the [[Exodus]] occurred. During this reformation, the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and the Emperor's Hammer affiliation was abandoned, along with everything else in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Minos_Cluster Minos Cluster]. Within days the Brotherhood had pulled all its brethren, all its resources and had slaughtered those who refused to secede to the [[Antei]] system with them. Astatine's forces were left decimated, humiliated and powerless. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], however, had secured its independence and within days the rejuvenation of the Brotherhood was in full flow.
 
 

=== The 13th Consul of Clan Arcona ===
[[Image:ArconaLogoMD.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|The adopted Clan Arcona logo during Mejas Doto's reign as Consul.]]Within weeks of the Exodus many changes were made to the summits throughout the Brotherhood. Some had been slaughtered for their allegiance to the Hammer, others had sacrificed themselves so that the Clansmen could make it to the Antei system without EH interference. Many were lost and whole Clan's abandoned. In Arcona, Telaris "Mav" Cantor, the newly appointed [[Emissary]], had been appointed interim [[Consul]] and with the full support of Mejas Doto and the other House summits, the Clan searched the systems near Antei so they could base themselves and begin restructuring the Clan. Awaiting announcement of who the new Clan Consul would be, it is rumored that the Zabrak "encouraged" the new Emissary not to overlook him a second time for appointment. It was well known that Mejas was a Dark Jedi who wielded even greater powers than the Emissary, however, few doubted he was the right man for the job and soon he was appointed Consul of Clan Arcona.

The initial appointment of the new Consul began with in true Zabrak fashion - Mejas lead the Clan into a war. A feud against Clan Satal Keto quickly arose when Consul Gord Darkonian had tried to trick the new [[Arcona]]n [[Consul]] into giving up the vital resources in a system that both Clans had discovered. However, the Dark Adept Consul saw straight through the tricks and both Clans battled hard for the victory. In the end, Gord Darkonian's ability to manipulate the Dark Council into awarding the depleted Satal Keto the victory gave Arcona the bitter taste of Brotherhood politics. However, both Clans were awarded a variety of ships and artifacts for their troubles - believed to be suggested by the Lords of the Vendetta, the [[Star Chamber]] themselves.

With the war over, Arcona finally settled in the [[Dajorra]] system. Mejas, with his first Proconsul Voranyen d`Tana, were quick to take charge of the system with little to no resistance from the native people. It is Selenians have welcomed their Dark Jedi Master's as God's of their ancient beliefs. With no resistance and the direct rule of the "Doto Doctrine", the system was one of the first to be named as "''fully functional''" by the Dark Council.

=== Shadow Crafting ===
Working as Consul and providing Arcona with stability, security, leadership and action, Mejas was hailed as a successful, astute and extremely practical Clan Consul. The brethren of Arcona respected his authority and the members outside the Clan feared his wrath. As Consul of Arcona on the newly discovered Dajorra system, Mejas exploited his position to seek out and research the most powerful texts, holocrons and artifacts available to him. The Selenian leaders themselves provided the Clan with their most coveted possession, the [[Abyssal Tome]].

[[Image:ArconaAbyssalTome.jpg|150px|left|thumb|The Abyssal Tome.]]The Tome was a gateway into the native Selenian skill of "''Shadow Crafting''", a form of primordial magic that allowed the Selenian Shadow Weavers to control, manipulate and co-exist with the shadow realm. The Selenian displays enthralled Mejas and after long discussion with his second Proconsul, JaM3z Lucius Entar, Mejas passed on more responsibilities to his subordinate and ordered that all Shadow Weavers were to exist as his own personal Adepts for months of intimate training, secluded from the rest of the Clan. The Selenians taught the Zabrak the basic skills required to Shadow Craft, but with the ability to call upon the dark side of the Force, Mejas mastered the most powerful of the Selenian abilities within the initial months of his training.

Unlocking the Abyssal Tome and combining the teachings within the text, with his mastery of the Dark Side, lead to the untimely death of all the Selenian shadow weavers. During some explorative Shadow Crafting the Selenian's pleaded for their Master to take things slower, and not to rush his experiences within the Shadow Realm. However, the ever tempestuous Zabrak only fought against such requests and somehow opened a doorway into the Shadow plane itself. All those unable to control such raw, primordial energies were consumed by the great void. Mejas himself was greatly shaken by the experience. Never had he felt such total power as he had during this incident.

Although drained from the experience, the Zabrak focused his research on the Abyssal Tome and soon mastered the transition between the two planes of existence. From this day forth, his position as Consul came second to his position as Shadow Master.

=== Purgatory ===
With Mejas's powers growing he soon returned to his role as Consul, trying to balance his lust for Shadow Mastery, with his love for Arcona. However, it could not be and the Zabrak grew so consumed and seduced by the Abyssal Tome that he again distanced himself from the rest of the Clan. [[Krath Pontifex]] JaMez Lucius Entar continued running Arcona, and protected his Consul from scrutiny as long as he could. But with time, the Dark Council intervened. They were sending a Council member to evaluate the Zabrak's proficiency as Consul, due to his persistent inability to communicate or meet with the Emissary, the Deputy Grand Master or the Order Leaders. In effect, they were coming to remove the Zabrak from office.

It turned out that Master Kaine Mandaala arrived to Selen on one of his few trips from Raltiir. The brethren of Arcona, and presumably the Dark Council, knew of the Zabraks kinship with the Brotherhood Herald and hoped that situation would be handled competently and most of all, peacefully. However it was not to be so. While no member witnessed the events first hand, nor have either Dark Jedi spoken of it since, the sound and sparks within the Force were impossible to ignore, a confrontation of some kind had occurred.

Departing from the meeting Kaine Mandaala spoke to nobody and returned to Raltiir. Even the Dark Council were pressing the Arconan summit leaders for answers - presumably as their Herald had provided none. But within the day all questions were answered. Mejas Doto convened his Clan in the Arconan "''Great Hall of Shadows''" and conferenced with leaders throughout the galaxy. He spoke at length for his devotion and lust for Arcona before announcing his retirement, appointing JaM3z as Consul of the Clan and promising his "''Children of Chaos''" that he would be forever watching over them from the shadows. The most legendary part of the Zabrak's speech, however, was the ending. Mejas spoke of himself as the "''Guardian of Arcona''", before bowing out to his brethren and dissipating into fine tendrils of shadowy sinnue. These tendrils twisted and twirled around where he stood, before merging into the great blackness of the shadow filled roof. Mejas Doto was gone.

Some believe he is stuck in the shadow plane, while others believe he resides there through choice. Many members of the Dark Council denounce the Dark Jedi Master's ability to perform such an act whilst others still claim to have seen the Zabrak Master all throughout the Brotherhood systems. Most disturbingly of all, however, is the fact that Clan Arcona refuse to comment on the Consul Emeritus. Perhaps this speaks for itself...

=== The 22nd Consul of Clan Arcona ===
In 27 ABY everything suddenly changed. The "Guardian of Arcona" has returned to Dajorra, his presence felt by all. With the galactic invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, Mejas Doto played his part in the great clash. Ultimately though, the Brotherhood lost and with that loss Arcona came of one of the worst. Timeros Caesus Entar disappeared after the critical losses his Clan sustained and Proconsul Strategos could do little to circumvent the disaster. When the dust settled, the Clan was left broken and leaderless and Mejas then declared himself open to return as the Clan Consul; an invitation that Grand Master [[Sarin]] pounced upon.

There was much to be rebuilt if there was any chance of Arcona to return to her former glory under Mejas' rule as the 13th Consul. As a start, the new fleet was amassed and restructuring within the Clan began. The Shadow Master openly declared to the Brotherhood that Arcona was undergoing a "Resurrection" and all Clans would feel the impact of such upheavel.

Within days the new Consul had removed all summit leaders and exploited the inter-Clan Brotherhood communciations system to lure a handful of the most eager, ambitious and ruthlesss members from the other five Clans to join Arcona. In the typical style of the confrontational leader, relations were strained and instantly the other Consul's heckles were raised. This was but the "bonus" of Project: Resurrection!

Mejas summoned all the worthy to Arconae Secondus and initiated the "Rite of Ascension". This rite followed the malicious, chaotic and absolute values of the Sith - where only the strong would rise up and all others would fail and die. Tasked with returning Ulic Qel-Droma's sabre from within the temple deep in the Arconae Secondus forest many thought the chalenge was minimal. The additonal threat of Soul Fire Strike Team as silent assassins and the Shadow Master's horror of "The Darkest Night" was the baptism into the reborn Shadow Clan that Mejas felt was most fitting. Many fell to their deaths, many others lost the will to live and remain tarnished and humiliated...but a few did rise up.

These few were appointed positions and after Rebirth the Clan summit stabilised the Houses, reorganised the Houses and their roles and then established the Shadow Oath for all new members - especially Journeymen fresh fromt he Shadow Academy. The disruptive and disloyal were banished from the Clan and the system; Mayda Ferium and Morg were the first to fall to the ruthless nature of the Dark Jedi Master. The Lord Justice of the Doctrine had exemplified his will and both Dajorra and the Clan fell into line within weeks of the Zabrak's actions. Relations with Scholae Palatinae were even solidified and a pact of no aggression established - something that even the Justicar's office had never managed!

With the Clan in tow and the vision of the Zabrak absolute, Proconsul Sashar Arconae was accepted as the first Shadow Scion of Mejas Doto and Clan Arcona. An apprentice of the Shadow Lord and heir to the Consul, the summit leaders complimented each other well and a variety of Great Hunts were arranged which stirred Arcona and prepared them for other Brotherhood challenges. Such events included the Independence Games, where Arcona positioned 3rd and the Inter-Clan feud with Scholae Palatinae and Plageuis.

The Uneasy Alliance feud was the end of the Mejas Doto's tenure as the 13th Consul of Arcona. The event was shambolic at the best of times and the final results questionable. The Shadow Master knew that his time as Consul was fading and the Shadow Realm had hinted at other oppertunties as he searched for clues in the whisps of darkness and chaos. With Arcona being forced from Dajorra and the Clan now homeless and floating aimlessley through space, Mejas's tenure as Consul ended. Resigning his position the Dark Jedi Master requested two things - that Sashar Arconae be appointed as his successor and that he be allowed safe passage from Antei to Korriban.

Both requests were approved by the Grand Master and the self exploration and a chance at evolution and further growth in power had presented itself to Arcona's revered leader. The Clan was now stable, strong and organised and the Shadow Scion was more than able to lead Arcona in Mejas' place. The Zabrak would forever remain as the Guardian of Arcona but once again his selfish, Sith like nature had forced his hand. The chance to strengthen himself ultimately would strengthen Arcona and in 28 ABY with this relayed to the Dark Council and his Clan, the Shadow Master set off on what could be his final journey...

=== Weaponry ===
'''Bloodfang'''
[[Image:BloodfangWiki.jpg|left|thumb|Image of Mejas Doto's dual lightsaber.]]
When promoted to Krath Archpriest, Mejas Doto was provided many more oppertunities to excel in the Brotherhood. He was appointed Consul of, the now disbanded, Satal Keto, he was also appointed Praetor to Headmaster Shups, however, surpassing all of these oppertunities, was the Brotherhod's recognition and acceptance that Mejas Doto was now permitted the use of a dual lightsaber.

Having waited for this momentous day, the Zabrak begin the construction of one the most renowned sabres in Brotherhood history. Almost as fabled in Clan Arcona as Ulic Qel-Droma's own lightsaber, there are few in the Brotherhood, let alone Arcona, who have not heard the tales of ''Bloodfang''. The design was inspired by Ulic's own [[Lightsabers|lightsaber]], but elongated, with the ability to be halved and used as dual sabres. The emmitter aesthetic is derived from the sharpened teeth of Mejas Doto. Completely constructed from lightweight alloys, with a balance for her user like few have managed to achieve - ''Bloodfang'' is a weapon equal in both beauty and destructive power. In the hands of her owner, she has slain many an adversary and not always in the most orthodox of manners. It is well known, that when possible, Mejas Doto prefers the use of the teeth like emmitters for laceration, puncture and evisceartion.

[[Image:BloodfangSHIP.gif|right|thumb|Image of the Modified Lancer Class Frigate named after Mejas Doto's dual lightsaber.]] It should also be noted that Mejas Doto's affection and bond with his lightsaber have even been commemerated in the Arconan fleet. This was after a [[Great Jedi War]] when the Clan were awarded, among other ships, a Modified Lancer Class Frigate, which the then-Consul named "''Bloodfang''".

== Titles and Possessions ==

=== Clan Title ===
Mejas Doto is the first Arconan to be awarded the Clan title, due to his work as Consul and longterm Clan member. After conflict with Emissary [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow|Tron Sadow]], Mejas rebuked the format the Clan title would take and refused to adopt Arconae as his surname. Because of this, Arconan's may choose to use their title in the following format: Mejas Doto, di Tenebrous Arconae.
Mejas has since adopted the full title "Mejas Doto, di Primus Tenebrous Arconae" to reflect his appointment as the first of the Arconae.

=== Shadow Mastery ===
Mejas Doto was the first Arconan to attain full understanding of the Abyssal Tome and from this he has reached the pinnacle that is Shadow Mastery. His complete dedication to the Ways of Shadowcrafting lead to his resignation as Consul of Clan Arcona and effective retiral as a member of the Dark Brotherhood. It is believed by many that Mejas felt that the only way of attaining the position as a Dark Prophet, was to combine his knowledge of the Dark Side with the very darkness of the shadows. At this point his corporeal existence wanes in and out of being.

Arconan's have commented that the former Consul has become so heavily intertwined with the ethereal plane of the Shadows that he is believed to exist for longer and longer periods of time in this alternative plane. The Arconan official stance on Mejas's Shadowcrafting powers state that he is a Shadow Master, capable of two of the Abyssal Rites. These are ''Banishment'' and ''Summon the Abyss''; however - it is well known that the Dark Jedi Master has surpassed such limitations and his ability to ''Shadow Walk'' and conduit between planes are examples of his continuing prowess and unmatched ability.

=== Tarentum Estate ===
Mejas Doto was granted an estate on the [[Clan Tarentum|Tarentum]] planet of [[Yridia IV]] after a secret pact with former Consul [[Sith Bloodfyre]]. The exact details of this arangement are unknown to any others in the Brotherhood and Mejas has been afforded full immunity when using the estate on Yridia IV. The estate itself is not visibe from the exterior of the planet and no knowledge of what is contained in the estate, or what it is used for, is available.

=== "Guardian of Arcona" ===
Upon retiring from the office of Consul, Mejas Doto remained ever watchful of his Clan. He is frequently called upon as an advisor to the summits and remains aware of the ebb and flow of Arcona's path. He has also stood against the summit and the Dark Council when the Clans interests are being overlooked by those who are afforded its charge. For this reason, Mejas Doto often refers to himself as the "''Guardian of Arcona''". It later transpired that with the Clan in need, Mejas returned to the Dajorra system and was formally appointed as the Guardian of Arcona, as an Elder and unofficial 3rd member of the Clan summit.

=== "Lord High Justice of the Doctrine" ===
When Mejas resigned from Consul the Dajorra system reacted badly to their leaders departure. Although Proconsul JaM3z was a strong and capable leader, fractures splintered the discipline and faith of both Dark Jedi Arconan's and the other inhabitants of the Dajorra system. As leaders changed new methods of rule were sought out, but none could gain control of the system as effectively or completely as the Doto Doctrine. Realising the escalating troubles within the Dajorra system and wanting to protect Arcona from interference from the Chamber of Justcie or other Dark Council bodies, Mejas returned to aide Consul JaM3z in re-establishing totalitarian rule of the system. Annointing himself as "Lord High Justice of the Doctrine", the former Consul reinforced the brutal regime, known as the Doto Doctrine, which instantly wrested full control back to the Clan summit. Following Mejas's departure into the Shadow Realm, a body of Doctrinal Fiscals were established throughout the system and while the day to day judicial system is managed in conjunction with the Clan summit, Mejas retains full control of the systems laws through his role as Lord High Justice of the Doctrine.
 

== Trivia ==
Did you know that...
*Mejas Doto was taken before the Chamber of Justice when he was a Guardian and demoted back to an Apprentice for cheating in Shadow Academy exams via IRC. How ironic he would later be the leader of the faculty he tried to dupe!
*Mejas Doto created the Ektrosian artefact "[[Orb of Pomojema|The Orb of Pomojema]]" back when he was a Jedi Hunter in Ektrosis.
*Mejas Doto was responsible for having Ass-tatine banned from IRC, after requesting the support of two long time friends (and fortunately High Court Inquisitors!) Trevarus Caerick and Chi-Long.
*Mejas Doto created the original Crescent and Star of Eos images for the website and Dark Side Compendium.
*Mejas Doto originally wanted to name the new Arconan system as Labia Majora, with one of the system moons/planets taking the name Labia Minora. However, after a lengthy discussion with his Proconsul, Voranyen, the name Dajorra was adopted (D from Doto and ajorra used as a variant of Majora). Mejas and Voranyen were also responsible for naming the rest of the system.
*During the exodus, Proconsul Voranyen named the site of the new Clan headquarters, on Selen, "Doto Rock". This was in homage to Consul Mejas Doto - even although it is widely known that the area isn't very rocky!
*Mejas Doto is the channel manager for #arcona on IRC
*Mejas Doto is the weilder of the infamous "Doto Doctrine", a channel control policy unparalleled throughout the Brotherhood IRC network for it's brutality and totalitarian grip.
*Mejas Doto always refers to Malik Sadow as "Manlik".
*Mejas Doto is one of the few non-Tarenti (members of Tarentum) allowed past Yridia IX on his personal craft. Others include GM [[Chi-Long]], GM [[Justinian Khyron]] and DJM [[Trevarus Caerick]].
*Mejas Doto was once defeated at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, by Korax and [[Chi-Long]] whilst visiting Canada!
*Mejas Doto once earnt a CF for defeating Timeros Caesus Entar at rock, paper, scissors whilst visiting Amsterdam!
*Mejas Doto designed and implemented the heraldic shields of the Justicar's office. This originally started with [[Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor|Yacko]]'s competition, but was further fleshed out during [[Kir Katarn]]'s tenure as Justicar. All three post-exodus Justicar's (DJM Yacko, GM Firefox and DJM Kir) have had their crests created by Mejas.
*Mejas Doto is one of the first Dark Jedi to have his own smilie created: [[Image:mejas-smilie.gif]]

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

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

== History ==

The history of Arcona can best be heard through '''The Hymn of Arcona''' as written by [[Vassan Rokir]]:

From time in memorium, a battle we wage 
Between Clans of Swordsmen, Pilot and Sage. 
In knowledge and blood our successes gaged. 
And victory upon victory, like a fine wine we age. 

First there was [[Nighthawk]], our founder on high 
He whose vision of glory none could deny: 
"A legacy of power!" to the stars he did cry 
And born was Arcona, here her history I scry. 

Thus, like a child, a noble House were we; 
Noble in mind, noble in arm, noble in philosophy. 
Whence then came a tumult, within CSP, 
Our House doors were opened, host of sanctuary. 

Dark Jedi of Palatinae, disillusioned by conflicts internal 
Parted thus, but found life as "rogue" to edge on the infernal. 
Wise Quaestor Nighthawk, plotting a legacy eternal 
Made bastion of our lands, and unto the rogues were we paternal. 

New allies made we, of the Palatinae Jedi; 
So strong was their bond that they did decide: 
"Our allegiance to Scholae be damned and defied; 
True brothers have we in Arcona; our faith be undenied!" 

And with speed our Father House, noble and strong, 
Grew in size and power, making richer a rich history already long. 
And soon, with volume and zeal was struck the gong: 
"A House we stand, but united a Clan!" came the glorious song. 

But among the loyal revelers, a rotting faction brewed: 
Rogue Jedi of [[Scholae Palatinae]], in jealousy they stewed. 
Presently, a defection back to their origins ensued, 
And Clan Scholae Palatinae was to be hollowly renewed. 

With tails between legs, the Scholae Jedi fled, 
But not all escaped without first being struck dead. 
Six conflicts I speak now, sure to be read; 
Noble Arcona robbed six Palatinae of their treacherous heads: 

Obelisk Blazer and Obelisk Morth cornered a pair. 
With a leap and a slash, Morth's saber did flare 
And cleft one in twain, as then did Blazer dare 
To slice the other's belly, a cut no thicker than a hair. 

To their ships ran another two, eager to escape their fate. 
Into orbit they flew, but followed by Sith hunger, needing sate. 
Shotgun and Shark, in their TIEs with the enemy did their sights mate 
And with flicks of trigger, explosive retribution did they create. 

And of the last two I speak, were felled by the powers of Krath. 
Sensing two that remained, Nighthawk and [[Voranyen d'Tana-Arconae |Voranyen]] released their wrath. 
Using the Force, the kind that comes from the Dark path, 
They did crush two throats, leaving six bodies, as says the math. 

And so the battle was done, many traitors had paid 
Their lives for their "freedom" was their futile trade. 
And through conflict's heat the stronger were we made 
That the dark flame of Arcona would never fade. 

So here the tale of Arcona we begin; 
Clan forged in darkness, fire, and the wages of sin. 

==From House to Clan==

===Inception===

In 14 ABY, under the first reign of Grand Master Khyron, the Brotherhood had four Clans; Scholae Palatinae, Satal Keto, Aquillas and Tarentum. The Independant House Naga Sadow also vied for dominance within the Aurora galaxy. It was during those days that the Empire Reborn was crushed, and the fall of the Disciples of Ragnos, a rival Sith cult, came about.

A Sith Warrior by name of Donitz sought to forge a new Independant House, and after gathering enough support, House Arcona was forged.

===Expansion===

Shortly before winning the Orthanc from Satal Keto, Quaestor Nighthawk was granted permission to convert the Independent House into a Clan.

Our militant House, Galeres was created to hold the front-line fighters. With legendary battleteams such as the Dark Orb Phyle and Soulfire Brigade, the House spelt out dominance and rulership from their barracks on Garrida. It later became aligned with the Obelisk Order following the benediction of Grand Master Khyron.

House Qel-Droma was created to provide mystical strength to our arsenal, offering guidance and education to all who sought it. From the moon of Mar Sala, the House bided its time, safeguarding Arcona's temple. It was the perfect choice for future alignment with the Krath.

===Scholae Palatinae's Loss; Arcona's Gain===

A major tragedy befell Clan Scholae Palatinae, and the Clan was destroyed at the hands of the [[Star Chamber]]. Many of the survivors are offered salvation in Arcona, which for a short time takes in Houses Acclivis Draco and Dorimad Sol. These two Houses are later merged to forge the third permanent House of Arcona: Oriens Obscurum, the rising darkness. Oriens is later chosen to oversee our naval fleet, defending Coronada space from their base on Joharta.

===First to Wake===

Arcona’s first brush with Clan Taldryan, widely regarded as the greatest vendetta Clan in the Brotherhood, did not end well. Their recently won prize from Clan Satal Keto, the [[M/INT Orthanc]], was pried from their hands. Smarting a bit, Clan Arcona built up its assets and strengthened, biding its time.

The Second Great Jedi War was the first major vendetta Arcona was involved in, and they did well, placing second behind House Ektrosis. Arcona’s military was one of the leading forces against the pirates that fought the Brotherhod, and as such Grandmaster Khyron saw fit to award them a Carrack cruiser, the [[CRCK Nighthawk|Nighthawk]].

By the time the Third Great Jedi War came around, the Clans had already begun to attack each other, and the conflicts evolved into a full scale clash for supremacy in the Brotherhood. Arcona held its own, and rode a wave of success and growth into their next major engagement, in the next GJW.

In 17 ABY the Fourth Great Jedi War took place, and Arcona was sent out on a hunt for a precious item. They did well, but slipped to fourth place, behind their new rivals, Clan Scholae Palatinae. A bit disappointed, the Consul led his members back to their home system so they could nurse their wounds from the quest and continue to grow internally.

The Fifth Great Jedi War, in 18 ABY, found Clan Arcona in a time of desperation. The Clan was weakened by an attack on its assets at the outset of the war, as its military and ships were decimated after bearing the full force of the Brotherhood’s enemies. [[Vassan Rokir]] was made Consul in the middle of the war, and was tasked with bringing the Clan back up to par.

=== The Exodus ===

In 19 ABY, the Exodus, one of the most difficult times for the Brotherhood, hit Clan Arcona hard as well. Most of the events of the Exodus in Arcona are lost to the ages, but historians have worked tirelessly to try and puzzle out the facts and fictions about what happened all those years ago.

Nearly all of both Houses chose to go with the Brotherhood, and hastily packed everything they could carry with them. However, many treasured items were left behind because they could not be carried by those fleeing the Coronada system. The Exodus hit House Qel-Droma the hardest of the Arconan Houses. Being primarily a Krath House, and having to determine between irreplaceable and expendable items like databases, records, and artifacts in a short time, it was particularly painful and difficult during the split.

Uncertainties abounded about whether or not Arcona would even get a new home, and shadowed whispers plagued the Clan for some time. However, Ulic Qel-Droma’s Book of Shadows served to guide the Summit to a new system, Dajorra. Those members that remained loyal to the Consul packed up their belongings and headed for the new system. Upon arrival, a makeshift base was thrown up on the planet Sukhur, one of the harshest planets in the system.

Houses Galeres and Oriens Obscurum both planned to construct their headquarters on Eldar, but only one was permitted. So, Vassan Rokir, Consul at the time declared a Feud between the two Houses over the planet, and vicious combat began immediately. After the feud had concluded, Galeres was shown to be top dog, and was given Eldar.

===Arconan Shadows Take Control===

Shortly after the Exodus, Consul [[Mejas Doto]] became leader of the Clan, and immediately began to strengthen the group. They defeated their rival Clan, Scholae Palatinae, in a Feud. The victory served as an enormous confidence booster, and propelled the Clan into the first Independence Games in 2003. In those Games, Arcona had another strong showing, taking second place and claiming their due glories. Consul Mejas watched his Clan grow more powerful by the day, as they shifted to prepare for their next challenge under his watchful eye.

In 21 ABY, under Consul JaM3z Lucius Entar, former Proconsul under Mejas, the Clan continued to thrive. They were the driving force in the Invasion of Antares, coming in a strong second place to Clan Tarenum in the “Third Sith War”. In these days, Clan Arcona was one of the biggest hitting Clans in the Brotherhood, and the Arconans were eager to prove it again and again. That same year, the War of the Star Chamber took place. Chaos seized the Brotherhood, and horrible warfare tore at the very fibers of the Dark Jedi. When the conflict was finally ended by Lord Firefox, the Grand Master decreed the [[Clan Taldryan]] had narrowly edged [[Clan Tarentum]], with Arcona showing up in a strong third.

Towards the end of James Lucius' tenure as Consul, the K'hamar'an Crisis took place as a result of mystery swirling around in the Shadow Academy. Unforunately, Clan Arcona struggled during the invasion, losing many military personnel and equipment. Limping back to Dajorra, Arcona was declared fifth, and left alone to rebuild under new Consul Vassan and Proconsul a`Lan Mandragoran. It was late in 22 ABY at the time, with [[Jac Cotelin]] as Grand Master, when Antei was invaded and brought under full government control. Even as the Brotherhood thrived, Arcona slowly weakened.

The Invasion of Coratua called the warriors of Clan Arcona sooner than Consul Vassan would have hoped, as they were sent off to Coratua in 23 ABY. Arcona's faithful fought hard against the pirates, but still struggled in comparison to their past glories. A fifth place finish sent the Clan reeling once more, and a`Lan Mandragoran was given control of the rebuilding efforts. He did the best he could, and the Clan stabilized as things seemed to be looking up. However, the treachery of Clan Taldryan nearly led to all-out war between the two Clans.

[[Halcyon Rokir]] was the new Consul of Arcona, and during his reign the [[Selen Incident]] took place. Taldryan agents infiltrated Clan Arcona's home system, and both Dark Jedi were captured and held on Selen. Taldryan sent a large fleet to surround the Arconan headquarters, and Halcyon and Duga, Consul of Taldryan, verbally derided each other's actions. The situation was diffused, however, and any disagreements were put behind the Clan as they entered the Seventh Great Jedi War. Turning around its recent struggles, Arcona took a proud third place in the GJW, defeating their rivals, Clan Scholae Palatinae.

Strategos Thanatos Entar was the next Consul of Arcona, and he helped keep the Clan on its toes before the inevitable invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong forces. He led them through the [[Second Darkness]], finishing in a close fourth place. His tenure as Consul lasted two full years, but he relinquished leadership to [[Timeros]] during the [[Eighth Great Jedi War]]. During the Incursion, the Yuuzhan Vong smashed the Brotherhood defenses, and Arcona was effected more severely than most of the other Clans, having their home system of Dajorra torn from them. Homeless, they were left to fend for themselves aboard their fleet.

===Last to Die===

Mejas Doto returned as Consul in 28 ABY to take charge of the rebuilding efforts. He led the Clan very well, and they bounced back as best as possible from the horrifying defeat at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong. The Zabrak Master pulled Arcona into the 2008 [[Independence Games]], where they placed a notable third, gaining a bit more muscle back. Mejas served as Consul for over a year, before stepping down for [[Sashar Arconae]] to take over.

== Houses of Arcona ==

=== House Galeres ===

[[Image:Galeres.jpg|thumb]]

    ''Main article: [[House Galeres]]''

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

=== House Qel-Droma ===

[[Image:Hqd.jpg|thumb|left]]

    ''Main article: [[House Qel-Droma]]''

House Qel-Droma usually aims to focus on the more stereotypical Krath events that are around in the Brotherhood, despite the multi-order nature of the house, Qel-Droma aims to focus energies on matters of the Force. In the past, Qel-Droma has been closed for short times, but has always come back stronger than ever.

=== House Oriens Obscurum (Closed) ===

    ''Main article: [[House Oriens Obscurum]]''

House Oriens Obscurum, a multi-order House that is now closed, was formed when Houses [[House Acclivis Draco|Acclivis Draco]] and [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]] were merged. Both Houses are now part of Clan Scholae Palatinae. One of the defining points of “HOO” is the success of its first Quaestor, Firefox, who would go on to be the Grand Master that led the Brotherhood through the Exodus.

Mejas Doto is a solitary, hate filled figure who is as equally revered throughout [[Clan Arcona]] as he is feared outside of the Dajorra system. One of the most highly decorated and powerful Dark Jedi in the Brotherhood, the Shadow Lord is reknowned for his ferocity in battle, his malice towards all those he considers unworthy and his general lack of adherance to protocol, etiquette and rules.

{{Quote|Embrace the Darkness|Mejas Doto, di Primus Tenebrous Arconae}}

== Character History ==
=== The Beginning ===
[[Image:MejasFather.jpg|150px|left|thumb|A supposed image of Mejas Doto's father.]]Born on an unknown planet in the Outer Rim nineteen years before the Battle of Yavin, Mejas Doto was the son of two Zabrak; one a Bounty Hunter and the other a Mercenary. The couple were believed to be native to Iridonia but little to nothing is known about their existence. It has been suggested that Mejas was raised in the criminal underworld as an accomplice to his parents; some have implied that the child’s father must have been Force sensitive in order to begin Mejas’s training from an early age and helped nurture such a powerful Force user. However, there is no existing evidence to support either of these claims and Mejas Doto himself has never discussed his upbringing. It can only be presumed that the childhood of the Zabrak holds some explanation to his current character, as he is even more deeply brutal, aggressive and solitary than others of his species.

=== Induction into the Brotherhood ===
[[Image:Loki.jpg|100px|right|thumb|The planet Loki with its moon Hodr.]]On Loki in the [[Phare System]], [[House Marka Ragnos]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] had based their stronghold during the years of alliance with the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. It was here that Mejas was sold by the Trandoshan mercenary Zassk. The [[Clan]] summit, in a bid to revitalize their numbers and find the future of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], had provided a variety of mercenaries (Zassk being one of them) with the task of locating any Force sensitive users and bringing them to Loki for their “initial assessments”. No questions were asked by the contractor’s and the mercenaries couldn’t care either way. The story behind Mejas’s separation from his parents, to this date, is still unknown.

Upon arriving on Loki the stolen Zabrak was resolute, silent and controlled. He had no communication with his peers and when approached was so vicious in his assaults that soon nobody pressed Mejas for anything. During training he stood out amongst all others for his physical prowess, fighting skills and callous nature. However, his control of the Force was poor due to his inability to focus, remain patient and learn to harness his skills. This was almost his undoing as the Dark Jedi of Clan Naga Sadow only wanted the “students” who could prove themselves capable across all areas. Fortunately, the [[House|House's]] [[Quaestor]] at the time, [[Trevarus Caerick]], reviewed the students prior to their selection for execution or [[Shadow Academy]] training. He over ruled the training master, commenting that “''such primal hatred should never be dismissed so easily.''”

And so, Mejas was afforded the opportunity to train at the Shadow Academy under [[Headmaster]] [[Kumba]], as long as he agreed to return to Marka Ragnos upon his appointment to the rank of [[Guardian]]. The young Zabrak agreed – not for the sake of compliance or through fear or respect, but because he awaited the day when he could return to Loki and exact his vengeance upon all those who felt they controlled his destiny.

=== Infamy from the Start ===
[[Image:ShadowAcademyLogo.jpg|170px|left|thumb]]Mejas's development at the [[Shadow Academy]] on Aurora Prime, went exactly as the Dark Jedi of Clan Naga Sadow had hoped. His physical abilities were honed and perfected, building upon the basic skills his family had provided him and pushing himself further and further ahead of the majority of his peers. Even the much sought after break through in the use of the Dark Side of the Force occurred, and Mejas was quickly perfecting his combination of all skills in unison.

Having reached the rank of [[Acolyte]], Mejas was soon to be confirmed, by Headmaster Kumba, as a Guardian of House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow. In order for this confirmation to go ahead, the graduating students were called forth to put on a display of their new skills. They were instructed to defend the centre ground of the arena from the oncoming attack of a squadron of battle droids. The Headmaster was of course present to decide upon the student’s progress as was the [[First Archon]], Lord [[Chi-Long]] who had presumably be invited by the Headmaster for the event. As the melee started the seven Acolytes protected their terrain as instructed and displayed the exemplary combination of skills need for a [[Guardian]]. However, as the last droid was destroyed, Mejas Doto did not lower his training sabre like the others, he continued his assault, decapitating two students and severing another in half.

Headmaster Kumba was forced to intervene before any others were killed and he proceeded to assault the student telekinetically. Awakening in agony and in the custody of the First Archon of the [[Chamber of Justice]], Mejas Doto was demoted to [[Apprentice]] and informed that it was only with the grace and favor of Headmaster Kumba that he had avoided execution. The First Archon commanded the Zabrak not to be as foolish again as even the visceral nature of the Headmaster could not be disrespected more than once. For the first time Mejas accepted his instruction. This First Archon was a Dark Jedi of great integrity and power, Mejas could feel it and little did he know how important this Dark Jedi would be in his career.

After demotion Mejas quickly progressed through the ranks for a second time. His plan had worked and he had survived Kumba’s wrath in order to secure further training from the Shadow Academy. Upon his return to Loki, Mejas would be nearly ready enough to exact his vengeance. Clan Naga Sadow would pay for their treatment of the Zabrak.

=== Movement Between the Clans ===
Returning to House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow as a powerful Guardian, Mejas quickly established himself within the House. He was appointed Lore Master and Roll Master before being appointed [[Tetrarch]] of the revered [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. With the growing powers and influence of Mejas Doto the House Quaestor continued his promotions and Mejas became one of the fastest trained [[Dark Jedi Knight]]s in the history of the Brotherhood – even with his previous demotions. With new mastery of the Dark Side powers and his first version of the [[Mejas Doto#Weaponry|Bloodfang]] [[Lightsaber|lightsaber]] constructed, Mejas knew he was ready to exact his revenge.

It was during a mission with House Marka Ragnos that he again turned against his superiors and massacred friend and foe alike. The brethren of Marka Ragnos were culled the same as the Noghri enemies. The House was severely damaged; Trevarus Caerick was made to look a fool in front of his Clansmen and the Night Hawks Phyle turned their back on the treacherous act of their leader. Mejas was expelled from the Clan instantly and deported to [[House Ektrosis]] of [[Taldryan]] where his chaotic, callous sense of being was felt to be”’’more fitting’’”.

[[Image:Taldryan.png|right|thumb|The Clan Taldryan crest.]]In House Ektrosis, Mejas once again, managed to attain a multitude of positions and establish his abilities quickly. Quaestor [[Alanna]] took the tumultuous character under her tutelage and managed to stabilize the Zabrak’s erratic behavior… at least until her resignation. Another figure who supported Mejas’s development was the Clan [[Proconsul]], [[Grand Master]] [[Jac Cotelin]]. Both figures were extremely important in Mejas’s tenure within Taldryan, but as they faded out of the life of the Clan, so did their hold on Mejas’s behaviour.

Mejas should have been appointed Quaestoras both Alanna and [[Aedile]] Aseret Thunderhawk stepped down from their positions. His influence and work ethic within Ektrosis has been unrivaled and the amount of knowledge inculcated from the summit was enough to make him ready to lead. However, [[Consul]] Telaris “Mav” Cantor decided against this appointment and Mejas was forced into exile as the decision denied him any honor after his work for the Clan was ignored so completely.

Ordered to attend a meeting with [[Krath High Priest]] Arania Lawakiro, Mejas was instructed to take up stead in [[House Qel-Droma]] of Clan Arcona. From here Arania believed that Mejas could secure leadership of the stagnant House from Quaestor Alex and Aedile [[Voranyen d'Tana-Arconae|Voranyen d`Tana]]. True enough, the High Priest had scryed successfully and before long the House was revitalized and under the leadership of Mejas Doto. Under this leadership Mejas, the [[Star Chamber]] conferred the title of First House of the [[Krath]], to House Qel-Droma of Arcona, for their successful exploits on K’hamar’a in project “Minds of Hate”.

With stability provided to Qel-Droma and a solid membership of powerful brethren, Mejas finally turned his focus to the area of the Brotherhood where the most powerful members were located, the Dark Council. He realized his goal and sought work as [[Magistrate]] to many of the Councilors. Eventually, Headmaster Shups appointed Mejas as Magistrate and then [[Praetor]]. Mejas felt his path to the Dark Council secured, but alas, Grand Master Chi-Long felt that the Zabrak's leadership experience was too limited, and so he was overlooked for Headmaster when [[Dark Jedi Master]] Shups retired. Instead J`lek Arcanos was appointed Headmaster while Mejas provided support as Praetor.

However, it was well known that Mejas provided more than support and was in fact running the office of the Headmaster while J`Lek Arcanos succumbed to the new powers of the Dark Side that were made readily available to him as the head of the Shadow Academy. Such weakness sickened the Zabrak and his contempt for his superior grew, to the point where J`Lek Arcanos was but the puppet to Mejas's commands. For the good of the Brotherhood, the office of the Headmaster had to be protected and it had to be held by a Dark Jedi who could manage the great responsibilities. Mejas Doto felt that he was only a step away from securing this position.
 

=== Appointment to the Dark Council ===
[[Image:Picture-emblem1.jpg|135px|left|thumb]]Realizing his route to office would be opened up sooner than later, Mejas accepted his appointment as Consul of [[Clan Satal Keto]] in attempt to prove to Grand Master Chi-Long that he could lead at the very top end of the Brotherhood. The Zabrak's plans unfurled to deliver exactly what he wanted and within months he had secured the office of Headmaster of the Shadow Academy on Aurora Prime.

The office provided Mejas with opprotunities that were unavailable to him before and as he rose to the rank of [[Dark Side Adept]] his control of the Dark Side of the Force grew exponentially in a very short period of time. He was also honored by the Council with a [[Sapphire Blade]] and the much coveted [[Ruby Scepter]]. These awards reflect the restructuring of the Shadow Academy into the footprint of what it has now grown into. Co-ordinating with the Order Leaders, Mejas managed to implement an array of new courses into the [[Shadow Academy]] for the first time. These included, general courses such as the DSC studies and the leadership studies along with the first Krath Order studies into poetry, run-on writing and grammar. A new system was installed on Aurora Prime with the assistance of [[Seneschal]] Grail to help manage the learning, teaching and awarding of the Shadow Academy courses and the office of the Headmaster had procured its most stable holder since Headmaster Kumba.

=== Shattered Dreams and Broken Promises ===
Grand Master Chi-Long was a Grand Master of great vision who allowed his Council staff to develop and manage their affairs without micro-management. After Grand Master [[Zoraan]] he had shown himself as a true leader of the Dark Jedi, who walked amongst his brethren, reunited the Clans and lead from the front. His tenure as Grand Master allowed creativity amongst the offices and the Dark Council were loyal, true and focused on their Brotherhood. But the pressures of the Emperor's Hammer Command Fleet lead to Chi-Long's resignation.

Executive Officer Astatine feared the Brotherhood for their strength, individuality and their resistance to Imperial indoctrination. Manipulating the appointment of [[Sith High Warrior]] [[Firefox]] to Grand Master and maneuvering himself to reclaim his former position as [[Deputy Grand Master]], Astatine, and the Fleet Commander Ronin, had crushed the heart of the Brotherhood and tightened their iron grip. One of the many to fall foul of these developments was Mejas Doto.
[[Image:IronThrone.jpg|150px|right|thumb|The [[Iron Throne]].]]

Having worked successfully as Headmaster the Zabrak was now met with ridiculous demands from a Deputy Grand Master who feared the success of the reformed Shadow Academy and felt its pinch on his own Imperial Weapons and Tactics School (IWATS). Taking his concerns to Grand Master Firefox, Mejas was assured his work was not going unnoticed and his position on the Council was secure. Firefox even informed the Zabrak that his promotion to Dark Jedi Master was only weeks away for his work, all he had to do was complete Astatine's latest request.

Mejas accepted his new Grand Master's words and completed the task as requested. However, instead of ascending further down the route of the [[Elder]]s, Mejas was forced into direct conflict with the Deputy Grand Master Astatine, resulting in a battle where both Dark Jedi nearly died. Astatine was brought before the High Inquisitor [[Jedgar O. Paladin]] and forced into an exile from Aurora Prime for the period of a month. However, his ultimate humiliation had been what he needed most and as he publicly apologized for his conduct, he also announced the removal of Mejas Doto from office and informed the Brotherhood he would not be appointed to any leadership position higher than Aedile for the coming future...

Devastated by the treachery of his own supposed leaders, especially the silence of the Iron Throne, Mejas went into exile, his whereabouts for this exile still unknown to this day, although it is often speculated that the Zabrak journeyed to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ralltiir Ralltiir] to take the counsel at the bequest of Dark Jedi Master [[Kaine Mandaala]].
 

=== Herald Mandaala ===
[[Image:Kaine_mandaala_5.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Herald Kaine Archon Mandaala, the longest serving Dark Council member in the history of the Dark Brotherhood and the only "friend" Mejas Doto ever had.]]Herald Kaine Mandaala was the longest serving Dark Council member at the time of Mejas's removal from the office of Headmaster. He was a Dark Jedi of incredible importance to the Brotherhood, and with his position and time spent as an Elder of the Brotherhood he was always looked upon as adviser to the Iron Throne. It is known that Master Mandaala spoke out against [[Dark Prophet|Primarch]] Astatine's treatment of the Zabrak Adept and that he voiced his concerns over the loss of such a powerful Dark Jedi due to the Deputy Grand Master's fear of the Zabrak's potential. However, such comments were ignored and the Dark Council continued as normal.

In exile, it can only be presumed that Kaine sought out Mejas, or the Zabrak heard about the Herald's defense and returned to him. As stated previously, this is still unknown, however, a great, deep and long lasting bond was formed between the two Elders and after the Brotherhood had settled from Astatine's string of maltreatment, Mejas Doto returned as Magistrate to the Herald, much to the annoyance of many on the Dark Council.

Within months he had returned to his very beginnings in House Marka Ragnos and was once again appointed Tetrarch of the Night Hawks Phyle. At this point Astatine again informed the Clan summit and the Dark Adept that he could not rise above this position, and while the Deputy Grand Master was fooled into believing this was the case, Mejas had taken an active role in developing Proconsul [[Xanos Sadow|Xanos Zorrixor Goatham]]'s operations and was working with summits throughout the galaxy as a support aide - abeit unofficially!

With time the grip of the Emperor's Hammer loosened and the Brotherhood regained full control of it's own affairs. Mejas was awarded Sapphire Blade's and Emerald Dagger's for his work throughout the Brotherhood and eventually forced his way back into the office of Quaestor for both [[House Acclivis Draco]] and House Qel-Droma. Alongside these developments on a local level, Mejas was appointed Praetor to the Herald's office and lead in the creation and archiving of the [[Grant of Arms]] of the Brotherhood members. Astatine had been a fool if he believed that he could quell the drive of the Zabrak Adept. Astatine had been a fool if he thought the Brotherhood would forget how he abused her.

=== The Exodus ===
[[Image:Implogo.png|thumb|100px|right]]The alliance with the Emperor's Hammer could no longer be tolerated by the majority of the Clans or the Dark Council, and for this reason, the [[Exodus]] occurred. During this reformation, the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and the Emperor's Hammer affiliation was abandoned, along with everything else in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Minos_Cluster Minos Cluster]. Within days the Brotherhood had pulled all its brethren, all its resources and had slaughtered those who refused to secede to the [[Antei]] system with them. Astatine's forces were left decimated, humiliated and powerless. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], however, had secured its independence and within days the rejuvenation of the Brotherhood was in full flow.
 
 

=== The 13th Consul of Clan Arcona ===
[[Image:ArconaLogoMD.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|The adopted Clan Arcona logo during Mejas Doto's reign as Consul.]]Within weeks of the Exodus many changes were made to the summits throughout the Brotherhood. Some had been slaughtered for their allegiance to the Hammer, others had sacrificed themselves so that the Clansmen could make it to the Antei system without EH interference. Many were lost and whole Clan's abandoned. In Arcona, Telaris "Mav" Cantor, the newly appointed [[Emissary]], had been appointed interim [[Consul]] and with the full support of Mejas Doto and the other House summits, the Clan searched the systems near Antei so they could base themselves and begin restructuring the Clan. Awaiting announcement of who the new Clan Consul would be, it is rumored that the Zabrak "encouraged" the new Emissary not to overlook him a second time for appointment. It was well known that Mejas was a Dark Jedi who wielded even greater powers than the Emissary, however, few doubted he was the right man for the job and soon he was appointed Consul of Clan Arcona.

The initial appointment of the new Consul began with in true Zabrak fashion - Mejas lead the Clan into a war. A feud against Clan Satal Keto quickly arose when Consul Gord Darkonian had tried to trick the new [[Arcona]]n [[Consul]] into giving up the vital resources in a system that both Clans had discovered. However, the Dark Adept Consul saw straight through the tricks and both Clans battled hard for the victory. In the end, Gord Darkonian's ability to manipulate the Dark Council into awarding the depleted Satal Keto the victory gave Arcona the bitter taste of Brotherhood politics. However, both Clans were awarded a variety of ships and artifacts for their troubles - believed to be suggested by the Lords of the Vendetta, the [[Star Chamber]] themselves.

With the war over, Arcona finally settled in the [[Dajorra]] system. Mejas, with his first Proconsul Voranyen d`Tana, were quick to take charge of the system with little to no resistance from the native people. It is Selenians have welcomed their Dark Jedi Master's as God's of their ancient beliefs. With no resistance and the direct rule of the "Doto Doctrine", the system was one of the first to be named as "''fully functional''" by the Dark Council.

=== Shadow Crafting ===
Working as Consul and providing Arcona with stability, security, leadership and action, Mejas was hailed as a successful, astute and extremely practical Clan Consul. The brethren of Arcona respected his authority and the members outside the Clan feared his wrath. As Consul of Arcona on the newly discovered Dajorra system, Mejas exploited his position to seek out and research the most powerful texts, holocrons and artifacts available to him. The Selenian leaders themselves provided the Clan with their most coveted possession, the [[Abyssal Tome]].

[[Image:ArconaAbyssalTome.jpg|150px|left|thumb|The Abyssal Tome.]]The Tome was a gateway into the native Selenian skill of "''Shadow Crafting''", a form of primordial magic that allowed the Selenian Shadow Weavers to control, manipulate and co-exist with the shadow realm. The Selenian displays enthralled Mejas and after long discussion with his second Proconsul, JaM3z Lucius Entar, Mejas passed on more responsibilities to his subordinate and ordered that all Shadow Weavers were to exist as his own personal Adepts for months of intimate training, secluded from the rest of the Clan. The Selenians taught the Zabrak the basic skills required to Shadow Craft, but with the ability to call upon the dark side of the Force, Mejas mastered the most powerful of the Selenian abilities within the initial months of his training.

Unlocking the Abyssal Tome and combining the teachings within the text, with his mastery of the Dark Side, lead to the untimely death of all the Selenian shadow weavers. During some explorative Shadow Crafting the Selenian's pleaded for their Master to take things slower, and not to rush his experiences within the Shadow Realm. However, the ever tempestuous Zabrak only fought against such requests and somehow opened a doorway into the Shadow plane itself. All those unable to control such raw, primordial energies were consumed by the great void. Mejas himself was greatly shaken by the experience. Never had he felt such total power as he had during this incident.

Although drained from the experience, the Zabrak focused his research on the Abyssal Tome and soon mastered the transition between the two planes of existence. From this day forth, his position as Consul came second to his position as Shadow Master.

=== Purgatory ===
With Mejas's powers growing he soon returned to his role as Consul, trying to balance his lust for Shadow Mastery, with his love for Arcona. However, it could not be and the Zabrak grew so consumed and seduced by the Abyssal Tome that he again distanced himself from the rest of the Clan. [[Krath Pontifex]] JaMez Lucius Entar continued running Arcona, and protected his Consul from scrutiny as long as he could. But with time, the Dark Council intervened. They were sending a Council member to evaluate the Zabrak's proficiency as Consul, due to his persistent inability to communicate or meet with the Emissary, the Deputy Grand Master or the Order Leaders. In effect, they were coming to remove the Zabrak from office.

It turned out that Master Kaine Mandaala arrived to Selen on one of his few trips from Raltiir. The brethren of Arcona, and presumably the Dark Council, knew of the Zabraks kinship with the Brotherhood Herald and hoped that situation would be handled competently and most of all, peacefully. However it was not to be so. While no member witnessed the events first hand, nor have either Dark Jedi spoken of it since, the sound and sparks within the Force were impossible to ignore, a confrontation of some kind had occurred.

Departing from the meeting Kaine Mandaala spoke to nobody and returned to Raltiir. Even the Dark Council were pressing the Arconan summit leaders for answers - presumably as their Herald had provided none. But within the day all questions were answered. Mejas Doto convened his Clan in the Arconan "''Great Hall of Shadows''" and conferenced with leaders throughout the galaxy. He spoke at length for his devotion and lust for Arcona before announcing his retirement, appointing JaM3z as Consul of the Clan and promising his "''Children of Chaos''" that he would be forever watching over them from the shadows. The most legendary part of the Zabrak's speech, however, was the ending. Mejas spoke of himself as the "''Guardian of Arcona''", before bowing out to his brethren and dissipating into fine tendrils of shadowy sinnue. These tendrils twisted and twirled around where he stood, before merging into the great blackness of the shadow filled roof. Mejas Doto was gone.

Some believe he is stuck in the shadow plane, while others believe he resides there through choice. Many members of the Dark Council denounce the Dark Jedi Master's ability to perform such an act whilst others still claim to have seen the Zabrak Master all throughout the Brotherhood systems. Most disturbingly of all, however, is the fact that Clan Arcona refuse to comment on the Consul Emeritus. Perhaps this speaks for itself...

=== The 22nd Consul of Clan Arcona ===
27 ABY everything suddenly changed. The "Guardian of Arcona" has returned to Dajorra, his presence felt by all. With the galactic invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, Mejas Doto played his part in the great clash. Ultimately though, the Brotherhood lost and with that loss Arcona came of one of the worst. Timeros Caesus Entar disappeared after the critical losses his Clan sustained and Proconsul Strategos could do little to circumvent the disaster. When the dust settled, the Clan was left broken and leaderless and Mejas then declared himself open to return as the Clan Consul; an invitation that Grand Master [[Sarin]] pounced upon.

There is much to be rebuilt if there is any chance of Arcona to return to her former glory under Mejas' rule as the 13th Consul. However, the new fleet has already been amassed and restructuring within the Clan is underway. The Shadow Master has openly declared to the Brotherhood that is Arcona is undergoing a "Resurrection". Only time will tell how successful this will be...

=== Weaponry ===
'''Bloodfang'''
[[Image:BloodfangWiki.jpg|left|thumb|Image of Mejas Doto's dual lightsaber.]]
When promoted to Krath Archpriest, Mejas Doto was provided many more oppertunities to excel in the Brotherhood. He was appointed Consul of, the now disbanded, Satal Keto, he was also appointed Praetor to Headmaster Shups, however, surpassing all of these oppertunities, was the Brotherhod's recognition and acceptance that Mejas Doto was now permitted the use of a dual lightsaber.

Having waited for this momentous day, the Zabrak begin the construction of one the most renowned sabres in Brotherhood history. Almost as fabled in Clan Arcona as Ulic Qel-Droma's own lightsaber, there are few in the Brotherhood, let alone Arcona, who have not heard the tales of ''Bloodfang''. The design was inspired by Ulic's own [[Lightsabers|lightsaber]], but elongated, with the ability to be halved and used as dual sabres. The emmitter aesthetic is derived from the sharpened teeth of Mejas Doto. Completely constructed from lightweight alloys, with a balance for her user like few have managed to achieve - ''Bloodfang'' is a weapon equal in both beauty and destructive power. In the hands of her owner, she has slain many an adversary and not always in the most orthodox of manners. It is well known, that when possible, Mejas Doto prefers the use of the teeth like emmitters for laceration, puncture and evisceartion.

[[Image:BloodfangSHIP.gif|right|thumb|Image of the Modified Lancer Class Frigate named after Mejas Doto's dual lightsaber.]] It should also be noted that Mejas Doto's affection and bond with his lightsaber have even been commemerated in the Arconan fleet. This was after a [[Great Jedi War]] when the Clan were awarded, among other ships, a Modified Lancer Class Frigate, which the then-Consul named "''Bloodfang''".

*The first Arconan to be granted the title of "Di Tenebrous Arconae"

 
== Titles and Possessions ==

=== Clan Title ===
Mejas Doto is the first Arconan to be awarded the Clan title, due to his work as Consul and longterm Clan member. After conflict with Emissary [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow|Tron Sadow]], Mejas rebuked the format the Clan title would take and refused to adopt Arconae as his surname. Because of this, Arconan's may choose to use their title in the following format: Mejas Doto, di Tenebrous Arconae.
Mejas has since adopted the full title "Mejas Doto, di Primus Tenebrous Arconae" to reflect his appointment as the first of the Arconae.

=== Shadow Mastery ===
Mejas Doto was the first Arconan to attain full understanding of the Abyssal Tome and from this he has reached the pinnacle that is Shadow Mastery. His complete dedication to the Ways of Shadowcrafting lead to his resignation as Consul of Clan Arcona and effective retiral as a member of the Dark Brotherhood. It is believed by many that Mejas felt that the only way of attaining the position as a Dark Prophet, was to combine his knowledge of the Dark Side with the very darkness of the shadows. At this point his corporeal existence wanes in and out of being.

Arconan's have commented that the former Consul has become so heavily intertwined with the ethereal plane of the Shadows that he is believed to exist for longer and longer periods of time in this alternative plane. The Arconan official stance on Mejas's Shadowcrafting powers state that he is a Shadow Master, capable of two of the Abyssal Rites. These are ''Banishment'' and ''Summon the Abyss''; however - it is well known that the Dark Jedi Master has surpassed such limitations and his ability to ''Shadow Walk'' and conduit between planes are examples of his continuing prowess and unmatched ability.

=== Tarentum Estate ===
Mejas Doto was granted an estate on the [[Clan Tarentum|Tarentum]] planet of [[Yridia IV]] after a secret pact with former Consul [[Sith Bloodfyre]]. The exact details of this arangement are unknown to any others in the Brotherhood and Mejas has been afforded full immunity when using the estate on Yridia IV. The estate itself is not visibe from the exterior of the planet and no knowledge of what is contained in the estate, or what it is used for, is available.

=== "Guardian of Arcona" ===
Upon retiring from the office of Consul, Mejas Doto remained ever watchful of his Clan. He is frequently called upon as an advisor to the summits and remains aware of the ebb and flow of Arcona's path. He has also stood against the summit and the Dark Council when the Clans interests are being overlooked by those who are afforded its charge. For this reason, Mejas Doto often refers to himself as the "''Guardian of Arcona''". It later transpired that with the Clan in need, Mejas returned to the Dajorra system and was formally appointed as the Guardian of Arcona, as an Elder and unofficial 3rd member of the Clan summit.

=== "Lord High Justice of the Doctrine" ===
When Mejas resigned from Consul the Dajorra system reacted badly to their leaders departure. Although Proconsul JaM3z was a strong and capable leader, fractures splintered the discipline and faith of both Dark Jedi Arconan's and the other inhabitants of the Dajorra system. As leaders changed new methods of rule were sought out, but none could gain control of the system as effectively or completely as the Doto Doctrine. Realising the escalating troubles within the Dajorra system and wanting to protect Arcona from interference from the Chamber of Justcie or other Dark Council bodies, Mejas returned to aide Consul JaM3z in re-establishing totalitarian rule of the system. Annointing himself as "Lord High Justice of the Doctrine", the former Consul reinforced the brutal regime, known as the Doto Doctrine, which instantly wrested full control back to the Clan summit. Following Mejas's departure into the Shadow Realm, a body of Doctrinal Fiscals were established throughout the system and while the day to day judicial system is managed in conjunction with the Clan summit, Mejas retains full control of the systems laws through his role as Lord High Justice of the Doctrine.
 

== Trivia ==
Did you know that...
*Mejas Doto was taken before the Chamber of Justice when he was a Guardian and demoted back to an Apprentice for cheating in Shadow Academy exams via IRC. How ironic he would later be the leader of the faculty he tried to dupe!
*Mejas Doto created the Ektrosian artefact "[[Orb of Pomojema|The Orb of Pomojema]]" back when he was a Jedi Hunter in Ektrosis.
*Mejas Doto was responsible for having Ass-tatine banned from IRC, after requesting the support of two long time friends (and fortunately High Court Inquisitors!) Trevarus Caerick and Chi-Long.
*Mejas Doto created the original Crescent and Star of Eos images for the website and Dark Side Compendium.
*Mejas Doto originally wanted to name the new Arconan system as Labia Majora, with one of the system moons/planets taking the name Labia Minora. However, after a lengthy discussion with his Proconsul, Voranyen, the name Dajorra was adopted (D from Doto and ajorra used as a variant of Majora). Mejas and Voranyen were also responsible for naming the rest of the system.
*During the exodus, Proconsul Voranyen named the site of the new Clan headquarters, on Selen, "Doto Rock". This was in homage to Consul Mejas Doto - even although it is widely known that the area isn't very rocky!
*Mejas Doto is the channel manager for #arcona on IRC
*Mejas Doto is the weilder of the infamous "Doto Doctrine", a channel control policy unparalleled throughout the Brotherhood IRC network for it's brutality and totalitarian grip.
*Mejas Doto always refers to Malik Sadow as "Manlik".
*Mejas Doto is one of the few non-Tarenti (members of Tarentum) allowed past Yridia IX on his personal craft. Others include GM [[Chi-Long]], GM [[Justinian Khyron]] and DJM [[Trevarus Caerick]].
*Mejas Doto was once defeated at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, by Korax and [[Chi-Long]] whilst visiting Canada!
*Mejas Doto once earnt a CF for defeating Timeros Caesus Entar at rock, paper, scissors whilst visiting Amsterdam!
*Mejas Doto designed and implemented the heraldic shields of the Justicar's office. This originally started with [[Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor|Yacko]]'s competition, but was further fleshed out during [[Kir Katarn]]'s tenure as Justicar. All three post-exodus Justicar's (DJM Yacko, GM Firefox and DJM Kir) have had their crests created by Mejas.
*Mejas Doto is one of the first Dark Jedi to have his own smilie created: [[Image:mejas-smilie.gif]]

Mejasdoto: Clan Summit Update

Orb of Pomojema

2008-07-22T23:10:24Z

Mejasdoto: Trivia - foudner of the artefact added.

In Mimban mythology, Pomojema was a minor god who acted as a healer. The priests of Pomojema were suspected of performing acts of healing enhanced by the use of a legendary crystal. The Temple of Pomojema, originally located on Mimban, was the fabled resting spot of an immense crystal. A monstrous pyramidal ziggurat, the original building appeared to be made of cast iron, not volcanic rock. The building was old and decaying and was guarded by a hulking reptilian lizard-creature. The Temple of Pomojema was the site of Luke Skywalker's first duel with Darth Vader.

After a series of strange events that were never fully documented, House Ektrosis became the owners of the Kaiburr crystal, and renamed it the Orb of Pomojema. Instead of building a recreation of the original cast iron temple, the Ektrosians built their own structure to house the giant crystal, which had been discovered to have bizarre force powers. The temple was constructed of large stones, and during the Brotherhood’s split with the Emperor’s Hammer, it was moved piece by piece into Transport ships and flown to Etkrosis’ new home.

The crystals true abilities only build upon its massive appearance. It can detect the imprint of the Light Side in Jedi and then quickly extinguish it, usually destroying the offending Jedi. It also has the power to heal and focus Dark Jedi on their tasks. Finally, it increases the power of a Dark Jedi exponentially. For all of the Orb's power, however, prolonged use of it will annihilate the user, and most of its powers require the user to hold it.

==Records==
The Orb of Pomojema was a possession of House Ektrosis and Clan Taldryan when the Brotherhood was part of the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. As already noted above, it moved with the Clan following the [[Exodus]].

==Trivia==
[[Mejas Doto]] created the Orb of Pomojema in September 2000 while a Jedi Hunter in Ektrosis. As Tetrarch of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse Phyle, Mejas sought to create an object that his Phyles could battle over.

Mejas Doto is a solitary, hate filled figure who is as equally revered throughout [[Clan Arcona]] as he is feared outside of the Dajorra system. One of the most highly decorated and powerful Dark Jedi in the Brotherhood, the Shadow Lord is reknowned for his ferocity in battle, his malice towards all those he considers unworthy and his general lack of adherance to protocol, etiquette and rules.

{{Quote|Embrace the Darkness|Mejas Doto, di Primus Tenebrous Arconae}}

== Character History ==
=== The Beginning ===
[[Image:MejasFather.jpg|150px|left|thumb|A supposed image of Mejas Doto's father.]]Born on an unknown planet in the Outer Rim nineteen years before the Battle of Yavin, Mejas Doto was the son of two Zabrak; one a Bounty Hunter and the other a Mercenary. The couple were believed to be native to Iridonia but little to nothing is known about their existence. It has been suggested that Mejas was raised in the criminal underworld as an accomplice to his parents; some have implied that the child’s father must have been Force sensitive in order to begin Mejas’s training from an early age and helped nurture such a powerful Force user. However, there is no existing evidence to support either of these claims and Mejas Doto himself has never discussed his upbringing. It can only be presumed that the childhood of the Zabrak holds some explanation to his current character, as he is even more deeply brutal, aggressive and solitary than others of his species.

=== Induction into the Brotherhood ===
[[Image:Loki.jpg|100px|right|thumb|The planet Loki with its moon Hodr.]]On Loki in the [[Phare System]], [[House Marka Ragnos]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] had based their stronghold during the years of alliance with the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. It was here that Mejas was sold by the Trandoshan mercenary Zassk. The [[Clan]] summit, in a bid to revitalize their numbers and find the future of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], had provided a variety of mercenaries (Zassk being one of them) with the task of locating any Force sensitive users and bringing them to Loki for their “initial assessments”. No questions were asked by the contractor’s and the mercenaries couldn’t care either way. The story behind Mejas’s separation from his parents, to this date, is still unknown.

Upon arriving on Loki the stolen Zabrak was resolute, silent and controlled. He had no communication with his peers and when approached was so vicious in his assaults that soon nobody pressed Mejas for anything. During training he stood out amongst all others for his physical prowess, fighting skills and callous nature. However, his control of the Force was poor due to his inability to focus, remain patient and learn to harness his skills. This was almost his undoing as the Dark Jedi of Clan Naga Sadow only wanted the “students” who could prove themselves capable across all areas. Fortunately, the [[House|House's]] [[Quaestor]] at the time, [[Trevarus Caerick]], reviewed the students prior to their selection for execution or [[Shadow Academy]] training. He over ruled the training master, commenting that “''such primal hatred should never be dismissed so easily.''”

And so, Mejas was afforded the opportunity to train at the Shadow Academy under [[Headmaster]] [[Kumba]], as long as he agreed to return to Marka Ragnos upon his appointment to the rank of [[Guardian]]. The young Zabrak agreed – not for the sake of compliance or through fear or respect, but because he awaited the day when he could return to Loki and exact his vengeance upon all those who felt they controlled his destiny.

=== Infamy from the Start ===
[[Image:ShadowAcademyLogo.jpg|170px|left|thumb]]Mejas's development at the [[Shadow Academy]] on Aurora Prime, went exactly as the Dark Jedi of Clan Naga Sadow had hoped. His physical abilities were honed and perfected, building upon the basic skills his family had provided him and pushing himself further and further ahead of the majority of his peers. Even the much sought after break through in the use of the Dark Side of the Force occurred, and Mejas was quickly perfecting his combination of all skills in unison.

Having reached the rank of [[Acolyte]], Mejas was soon to be confirmed, by Headmaster Kumba, as a Guardian of House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow. In order for this confirmation to go ahead, the graduating students were called forth to put on a display of their new skills. They were instructed to defend the centre ground of the arena from the oncoming attack of a squadron of battle droids. The Headmaster was of course present to decide upon the student’s progress as was the [[First Archon]], Lord [[Chi-Long]] who had presumably be invited by the Headmaster for the event. As the melee started the seven Acolytes protected their terrain as instructed and displayed the exemplary combination of skills need for a [[Guardian]]. However, as the last droid was destroyed, Mejas Doto did not lower his training sabre like the others, he continued his assault, decapitating two students and severing another in half.

Headmaster Kumba was forced to intervene before any others were killed and he proceeded to assault the student telekinetically. Awakening in agony and in the custody of the First Archon of the [[Chamber of Justice]], Mejas Doto was demoted to [[Apprentice]] and informed that it was only with the grace and favor of Headmaster Kumba that he had avoided execution. The First Archon commanded the Zabrak not to be as foolish again as even the visceral nature of the Headmaster could not be disrespected more than once. For the first time Mejas accepted his instruction. This First Archon was a Dark Jedi of great integrity and power, Mejas could feel it and little did he know how important this Dark Jedi would be in his career.

After demotion Mejas quickly progressed through the ranks for a second time. His plan had worked and he had survived Kumba’s wrath in order to secure further training from the Shadow Academy. Upon his return to Loki, Mejas would be nearly ready enough to exact his vengeance. Clan Naga Sadow would pay for their treatment of the Zabrak.

=== Movement Between the Clans ===
Returning to House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow as a powerful Guardian, Mejas quickly established himself within the House. He was appointed Lore Master and Roll Master before being appointed [[Tetrarch]] of the revered [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. With the growing powers and influence of Mejas Doto the House Quaestor continued his promotions and Mejas became one of the fastest trained [[Dark Jedi Knight]]s in the history of the Brotherhood – even with his previous demotions. With new mastery of the Dark Side powers and his first version of the [[Mejas Doto#Weaponry|Bloodfang]] [[Lightsaber|lightsaber]] constructed, Mejas knew he was ready to exact his revenge.

It was during a mission with House Marka Ragnos that he again turned against his superiors and massacred friend and foe alike. The brethren of Marka Ragnos were culled the same as the Noghri enemies. The House was severely damaged; Trevarus Caerick was made to look a fool in front of his Clansmen and the Night Hawks Phyle turned their back on the treacherous act of their leader. Mejas was expelled from the Clan instantly and deported to [[House Ektrosis]] of [[Taldryan]] where his chaotic, callous sense of being was felt to be”’’more fitting’’”.

[[Image:Taldryan.png|right|thumb|The Clan Taldryan crest.]]In House Ektrosis, Mejas once again, managed to attain a multitude of positions and establish his abilities quickly. Quaestor [[Alanna]] took the tumultuous character under her tutelage and managed to stabilize the Zabrak’s erratic behavior… at least until her resignation. Another figure who supported Mejas’s development was the Clan [[Proconsul]], [[Grand Master]] [[Jac Cotelin]]. Both figures were extremely important in Mejas’s tenure within Taldryan, but as they faded out of the life of the Clan, so did their hold on Mejas’s behaviour.

Mejas should have been appointed Quaestoras both Alanna and [[Aedile]] Aseret Thunderhawk stepped down from their positions. His influence and work ethic within Ektrosis has been unrivaled and the amount of knowledge inculcated from the summit was enough to make him ready to lead. However, [[Consul]] Telaris “Mav” Cantor decided against this appointment and Mejas was forced into exile as the decision denied him any honor after his work for the Clan was ignored so completely.

Ordered to attend a meeting with [[Krath High Priest]] Arania Lawakiro, Mejas was instructed to take up stead in [[House Qel-Droma]] of Clan Arcona. From here Arania believed that Mejas could secure leadership of the stagnant House from Quaestor Alex and Aedile [[Voranyen d'Tana-Arconae|Voranyen d`Tana]]. True enough, the High Priest had scryed successfully and before long the House was revitalized and under the leadership of Mejas Doto. Under this leadership Mejas, the [[Star Chamber]] conferred the title of First House of the [[Krath]], to House Qel-Droma of Arcona, for their successful exploits on K’hamar’a in project “Minds of Hate”.

With stability provided to Qel-Droma and a solid membership of powerful brethren, Mejas finally turned his focus to the area of the Brotherhood where the most powerful members were located, the Dark Council. He realized his goal and sought work as [[Magistrate]] to many of the Councilors. Eventually, Headmaster Shups appointed Mejas as Magistrate and then [[Praetor]]. Mejas felt his path to the Dark Council secured, but alas, Grand Master Chi-Long felt that the Zabrak's leadership experience was too limited, and so he was overlooked for Headmaster when [[Dark Jedi Master]] Shups retired. Instead J`lek Arcanos was appointed Headmaster while Mejas provided support as Praetor.

However, it was well known that Mejas provided more than support and was in fact running the office of the Headmaster while J`Lek Arcanos succumbed to the new powers of the Dark Side that were made readily available to him as the head of the Shadow Academy. Such weakness sickened the Zabrak and his contempt for his superior grew, to the point where J`Lek Arcanos was but the puppet to Mejas's commands. For the good of the Brotherhood, the office of the Headmaster had to be protected and it had to be held by a Dark Jedi who could manage the great responsibilities. Mejas Doto felt that he was only a step away from securing this position.
 

=== Appointment to the Dark Council ===
[[Image:Picture-emblem1.jpg|135px|left|thumb]]Realizing his route to office would be opened up sooner than later, Mejas accepted his appointment as Consul of [[Clan Satal Keto]] in attempt to prove to Grand Master Chi-Long that he could lead at the very top end of the Brotherhood. The Zabrak's plans unfurled to deliver exactly what he wanted and within months he had secured the office of Headmaster of the Shadow Academy on Aurora Prime.

The office provided Mejas with opprotunities that were unavailable to him before and as he rose to the rank of [[Dark Side Adept]] his control of the Dark Side of the Force grew exponentially in a very short period of time. He was also honored by the Council with a [[Sapphire Blade]] and the much coveted [[Ruby Scepter]]. These awards reflect the restructuring of the Shadow Academy into the footprint of what it has now grown into. Co-ordinating with the Order Leaders, Mejas managed to implement an array of new courses into the [[Shadow Academy]] for the first time. These included, general courses such as the DSC studies and the leadership studies along with the first Krath Order studies into poetry, run-on writing and grammar. A new system was installed on Aurora Prime with the assistance of [[Seneschal]] Grail to help manage the learning, teaching and awarding of the Shadow Academy courses and the office of the Headmaster had procured its most stable holder since Headmaster Kumba.

=== Shattered Dreams and Broken Promises ===
Grand Master Chi-Long was a Grand Master of great vision who allowed his Council staff to develop and manage their affairs without micro-management. After Grand Master [[Zoraan]] he had shown himself as a true leader of the Dark Jedi, who walked amongst his brethren, reunited the Clans and lead from the front. His tenure as Grand Master allowed creativity amongst the offices and the Dark Council were loyal, true and focused on their Brotherhood. But the pressures of the Emperor's Hammer Command Fleet lead to Chi-Long's resignation.

Executive Officer Astatine feared the Brotherhood for their strength, individuality and their resistance to Imperial indoctrination. Manipulating the appointment of [[Sith High Warrior]] [[Firefox]] to Grand Master and maneuvering himself to reclaim his former position as [[Deputy Grand Master]], Astatine, and the Fleet Commander Ronin, had crushed the heart of the Brotherhood and tightened their iron grip. One of the many to fall foul of these developments was Mejas Doto.
[[Image:IronThrone.jpg|150px|right|thumb|The [[Iron Throne]].]]

Having worked successfully as Headmaster the Zabrak was now met with ridiculous demands from a Deputy Grand Master who feared the success of the reformed Shadow Academy and felt its pinch on his own Imperial Weapons and Tactics School (IWATS). Taking his concerns to Grand Master Firefox, Mejas was assured his work was not going unnoticed and his position on the Council was secure. Firefox even informed the Zabrak that his promotion to Dark Jedi Master was only weeks away for his work, all he had to do was complete Astatine's latest request.

Mejas accepted his new Grand Master's words and completed the task as requested. However, instead of ascending further down the route of the [[Elder]]s, Mejas was forced into direct conflict with the Deputy Grand Master Astatine, resulting in a battle where both Dark Jedi nearly died. Astatine was brought before the High Inquisitor [[Jedgar O. Paladin]] and forced into an exile from Aurora Prime for the period of a month. However, his ultimate humiliation had been what he needed most and as he publicly apologized for his conduct, he also announced the removal of Mejas Doto from office and informed the Brotherhood he would not be appointed to any leadership position higher than Aedile for the coming future...

Devastated by the treachery of his own supposed leaders, especially the silence of the Iron Throne, Mejas went into exile, his whereabouts for this exile still unknown to this day, although it is often speculated that the Zabrak journeyed to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ralltiir Ralltiir] to take the counsel at the bequest of Dark Jedi Master [[Kaine Mandaala]].
 

=== Herald Mandaala ===
[[Image:Kaine_mandaala_5.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Herald Kaine Archon Mandaala, the longest serving Dark Council member in the history of the Dark Brotherhood and the only "friend" Mejas Doto ever had.]]Herald Kaine Mandaala was the longest serving Dark Council member at the time of Mejas's removal from the office of Headmaster. He was a Dark Jedi of incredible importance to the Brotherhood, and with his position and time spent as an Elder of the Brotherhood he was always looked upon as adviser to the Iron Throne. It is known that Master Mandaala spoke out against [[Dark Prophet|Primarch]] Astatine's treatment of the Zabrak Adept and that he voiced his concerns over the loss of such a powerful Dark Jedi due to the Deputy Grand Master's fear of the Zabrak's potential. However, such comments were ignored and the Dark Council continued as normal.

In exile, it can only be presumed that Kaine sought out Mejas, or the Zabrak heard about the Herald's defense and returned to him. As stated previously, this is still unknown, however, a great, deep and long lasting bond was formed between the two Elders and after the Brotherhood had settled from Astatine's string of maltreatment, Mejas Doto returned as Magistrate to the Herald, much to the annoyance of many on the Dark Council.

Within months he had returned to his very beginnings in House Marka Ragnos and was once again appointed Tetrarch of the Night Hawks Phyle. At this point Astatine again informed the Clan summit and the Dark Adept that he could not rise above this position, and while the Deputy Grand Master was fooled into believing this was the case, Mejas had taken an active role in developing Proconsul [[Xanos Sadow|Xanos Zorrixor Goatham]]'s operations and was working with summits throughout the galaxy as a support aide - abeit unofficially!

With time the grip of the Emperor's Hammer loosened and the Brotherhood regained full control of it's own affairs. Mejas was awarded Sapphire Blade's and Emerald Dagger's for his work throughout the Brotherhood and eventually forced his way back into the office of Quaestor for both [[House Acclivis Draco]] and House Qel-Droma. Alongside these developments on a local level, Mejas was appointed Praetor to the Herald's office and lead in the creation and archiving of the [[Grant of Arms]] of the Brotherhood members. Astatine had been a fool if he believed that he could quell the drive of the Zabrak Adept. Astatine had been a fool if he thought the Brotherhood would forget how he abused her.

=== The Exodus ===
[[Image:Implogo.png|thumb|100px|right]]The alliance with the Emperor's Hammer could no longer be tolerated by the majority of the Clans or the Dark Council, and for this reason, the [[Exodus]] occurred. During this reformation, the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and the Emperor's Hammer affiliation was abandoned, along with everything else in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Minos_Cluster Minos Cluster]. Within days the Brotherhood had pulled all its brethren, all its resources and had slaughtered those who refused to secede to the [[Antei]] system with them. Astatine's forces were left decimated, humiliated and powerless. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], however, had secured its independence and within days the rejuvenation of the Brotherhood was in full flow.
 
 

=== The 13th Consul of Clan Arcona ===
[[Image:ArconaLogoMD.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|The adopted Clan Arcona logo during Mejas Doto's reign as Consul.]]Within weeks of the Exodus many changes were made to the summits throughout the Brotherhood. Some had been slaughtered for their allegiance to the Hammer, others had sacrificed themselves so that the Clansmen could make it to the Antei system without EH interference. Many were lost and whole Clan's abandoned. In Arcona, Telaris "Mav" Cantor, the newly appointed [[Emissary]], had been appointed interim [[Consul]] and with the full support of Mejas Doto and the other House summits, the Clan searched the systems near Antei so they could base themselves and begin restructuring the Clan. Awaiting announcement of who the new Clan Consul would be, it is rumored that the Zabrak "encouraged" the new Emissary not to overlook him a second time for appointment. It was well known that Mejas was a Dark Jedi who wielded even greater powers than the Emissary, however, few doubted he was the right man for the job and soon he was appointed Consul of Clan Arcona.

The initial appointment of the new Consul began with in true Zabrak fashion - Mejas lead the Clan into a war. A feud against Clan Satal Keto quickly arose when Consul Gord Darkonian had tried to trick the new [[Arcona]]n [[Consul]] into giving up the vital resources in a system that both Clans had discovered. However, the Dark Adept Consul saw straight through the tricks and both Clans battled hard for the victory. In the end, Gord Darkonian's ability to manipulate the Dark Council into awarding the depleted Satal Keto the victory gave Arcona the bitter taste of Brotherhood politics. However, both Clans were awarded a variety of ships and artifacts for their troubles - believed to be suggested by the Lords of the Vendetta, the [[Star Chamber]] themselves.

With the war over, Arcona finally settled in the [[Dajorra]] system. Mejas, with his first Proconsul Voranyen d`Tana, were quick to take charge of the system with little to no resistance from the native people. It is Selenians have welcomed their Dark Jedi Master's as God's of their ancient beliefs. With no resistance and the direct rule of the "Doto Doctrine", the system was one of the first to be named as "''fully functional''" by the Dark Council.

=== Shadow Crafting ===
Working as Consul and providing Arcona with stability, security, leadership and action, Mejas was hailed as a successful, astute and extremely practical Clan Consul. The brethren of Arcona respected his authority and the members outside the Clan feared his wrath. As Consul of Arcona on the newly discovered Dajorra system, Mejas exploited his position to seek out and research the most powerful texts, holocrons and artifacts available to him. The Selenian leaders themselves provided the Clan with their most coveted possession, the [[Abyssal Tome]].

[[Image:ArconaAbyssalTome.jpg|150px|left|thumb|The Abyssal Tome.]]The Tome was a gateway into the native Selenian skill of "''Shadow Crafting''", a form of primordial magic that allowed the Selenian Shadow Weavers to control, manipulate and co-exist with the shadow realm. The Selenian displays enthralled Mejas and after long discussion with his second Proconsul, JaM3z Lucius Entar, Mejas passed on more responsibilities to his subordinate and ordered that all Shadow Weavers were to exist as his own personal Adepts for months of intimate training, secluded from the rest of the Clan. The Selenians taught the Zabrak the basic skills required to Shadow Craft, but with the ability to call upon the dark side of the Force, Mejas mastered the most powerful of the Selenian abilities within the initial months of his training.

Unlocking the Abyssal Tome and combining the teachings within the text, with his mastery of the Dark Side, lead to the untimely death of all the Selenian shadow weavers. During some explorative Shadow Crafting the Selenian's pleaded for their Master to take things slower, and not to rush his experiences within the Shadow Realm. However, the ever tempestuous Zabrak only fought against such requests and somehow opened a doorway into the Shadow plane itself. All those unable to control such raw, primordial energies were consumed by the great void. Mejas himself was greatly shaken by the experience. Never had he felt such total power as he had during this incident.

Although drained from the experience, the Zabrak focused his research on the Abyssal Tome and soon mastered the transition between the two planes of existence. From this day forth, his position as Consul came second to his position as Shadow Master.

=== Purgatory ===
With Mejas's powers growing he soon returned to his role as Consul, trying to balance his lust for Shadow Mastery, with his love for Arcona. However, it could not be and the Zabrak grew so consumed and seduced by the Abyssal Tome that he again distanced himself from the rest of the Clan. [[Krath Pontifex]] JaMez Lucius Entar continued running Arcona, and protected his Consul from scrutiny as long as he could. But with time, the Dark Council intervened. They were sending a Council member to evaluate the Zabrak's proficiency as Consul, due to his persistent inability to communicate or meet with the Emissary, the Deputy Grand Master or the Order Leaders. In effect, they were coming to remove the Zabrak from office.

It turned out that Master Kaine Mandaala arrived to Selen on one of his few trips from Raltiir. The brethren of Arcona, and presumably the Dark Council, knew of the Zabraks kinship with the Brotherhood Herald and hoped that situation would be handled competently and most of all, peacefully. However it was not to be so. While no member witnessed the events first hand, nor have either Dark Jedi spoken of it since, the sound and sparks within the Force were impossible to ignore, a confrontation of some kind had occurred.

Departing from the meeting Kaine Mandaala spoke to nobody and returned to Raltiir. Even the Dark Council were pressing the Arconan summit leaders for answers - presumably as their Herald had provided none. But within the day all questions were answered. Mejas Doto convened his Clan in the Arconan "''Great Hall of Shadows''" and conferenced with leaders throughout the galaxy. He spoke at length for his devotion and lust for Arcona before announcing his retirement, appointing JaM3z as Consul of the Clan and promising his "''Children of Chaos''" that he would be forever watching over them from the shadows. The most legendary part of the Zabrak's speech, however, was the ending. Mejas spoke of himself as the "''Guardian of Arcona''", before bowing out to his brethren and dissipating into fine tendrils of shadowy sinnue. These tendrils twisted and twirled around where he stood, before merging into the great blackness of the shadow filled roof. Mejas Doto was gone.

Some believe he is stuck in the shadow plane, while others believe he resides there through choice. Many members of the Dark Council denounce the Dark Jedi Master's ability to perform such an act whilst others still claim to have seen the Zabrak Master all throughout the Brotherhood systems. Most disturbingly of all, however, is the fact that Clan Arcona refuse to comment on the Consul Emeritus. Perhaps this speaks for itself...

=== The 22nd Consul of Clan Arcona ===
27 ABY everything suddenly changed. The "Guardian of Arcona" has returned to Dajorra, his presence felt by all. With the galactic invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, Mejas Doto played his part in the great clash. Ultimately though, the Brotherhood lost and with that loss Arcona came of one of the worst. Timeros Caesus Entar disappeared after the critical losses his Clan sustained and Proconsul Strategos could do little to circumvent the disaster. When the dust settled, the Clan was left broken and leaderless and Mejas then declared himself open to return as the Clan Consul; an invitation that Grand Master [[Sarin]] pounced upon.

There is much to be rebuilt if there is any chance of Arcona to return to her former glory under Mejas' rule as the 13th Consul. However, the new fleet has already been amassed and restructuring within the Clan is underway. The Shadow Master has openly declared to the Brotherhood that is Arcona is undergoing a "Resurrection". Only time will tell how successful this will be...

=== Weaponry ===
'''Bloodfang'''
[[Image:BloodfangWiki.jpg|left|thumb|Image of Mejas Doto's dual lightsaber.]]
When promoted to Krath Archpriest, Mejas Doto was provided many more oppertunities to excel in the Brotherhood. He was appointed Consul of, the now disbanded, Satal Keto, he was also appointed Praetor to Headmaster Shups, however, surpassing all of these oppertunities, was the Brotherhod's recognition and acceptance that Mejas Doto was now permitted the use of a dual lightsaber.

Having waited for this momentous day, the Zabrak begin the construction of one the most renowned sabres in Brotherhood history. Almost as fabled in Clan Arcona as Ulic Qel-Droma's own lightsaber, there are few in the Brotherhood, let alone Arcona, who have not heard the tales of ''Bloodfang''. The design was inspired by Ulic's own [[Lightsabers|lightsaber]], but elongated, with the ability to be halved and used as dual sabres. The emmitter aesthetic is derived from the sharpened teeth of Mejas Doto. Completely constructed from lightweight alloys, with a balance for her user like few have managed to achieve - ''Bloodfang'' is a weapon equal in both beauty and destructive power. In the hands of her owner, she has slain many an adversary and not always in the most orthodox of manners. It is well known, that when possible, Mejas Doto prefers the use of the teeth like emmitters for laceration, puncture and evisceartion.

[[Image:BloodfangSHIP.gif|right|thumb|Image of the Modified Lancer Class Frigate named after Mejas Doto's dual lightsaber.]] It should also be noted that Mejas Doto's affection and bond with his lightsaber have even been commemerated in the Arconan fleet. This was after a [[Great Jedi War]] when the Clan were awarded, among other ships, a Modified Lancer Class Frigate, which the then-Consul named "''Bloodfang''".

== Titles and Possessions ==

=== Clan Title ===
Mejas Doto is the first Arconan to be awarded the Clan title, due to his work as Consul and longterm Clan member. After conflict with Emissary [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow|Tron Sadow]], Mejas rebuked the format the Clan title would take and refused to adopt Arconae as his surname. Because of this, Arconan's may choose to use their title in the following format: Mejas Doto, di Tenebrous Arconae.
Mejas has since adopted the full title "Mejas Doto, di Primus Tenebrous Arconae" to reflect his appointment as the first of the Arconae.

=== Shadow Mastery ===
Mejas Doto was the first Arconan to attain full understanding of the Abyssal Tome and from this he has reached the pinnacle that is Shadow Mastery. His complete dedication to the Ways of Shadowcrafting lead to his resignation as Consul of Clan Arcona and effective retiral as a member of the Dark Brotherhood. It is believed by many that Mejas felt that the only way of attaining the position as a Dark Prophet, was to combine his knowledge of the Dark Side with the very darkness of the shadows. At this point his corporeal existence wanes in and out of being.

Arconan's have commented that the former Consul has become so heavily intertwined with the ethereal plane of the Shadows that he is believed to exist for longer and longer periods of time in this alternative plane. The Arconan official stance on Mejas's Shadowcrafting powers state that he is a Shadow Master, capable of two of the Abyssal Rites. These are ''Banishment'' and ''Summon the Abyss''; however - it is well known that the Dark Jedi Master has surpassed such limitations and his ability to ''Shadow Walk'' and conduit between planes are examples of his continuing prowess and unmatched ability.

=== Tarentum Estate ===
Mejas Doto was granted an estate on the [[Clan Tarentum|Tarentum]] planet of [[Yridia IV]] after a secret pact with former Consul [[Sith Bloodfyre]]. The exact details of this arangement are unknown to any others in the Brotherhood and Mejas has been afforded full immunity when using the estate on Yridia IV. The estate itself is not visibe from the exterior of the planet and no knowledge of what is contained in the estate, or what it is used for, is available.

=== "Guardian of Arcona" ===
Upon retiring from the office of Consul, Mejas Doto remained ever watchful of his Clan. He is frequently called upon as an advisor to the summits and remains aware of the ebb and flow of Arcona's path. He has also stood against the summit and the Dark Council when the Clans interests are being overlooked by those who are afforded its charge. For this reason, Mejas Doto often refers to himself as the "''Guardian of Arcona''". It later transpired that with the Clan in need, Mejas returned to the Dajorra system and was formally appointed as the Guardian of Arcona, as an Elder and unofficial 3rd member of the Clan summit.

=== "Lord High Justice of the Doctrine" ===
When Mejas resigned from Consul the Dajorra system reacted badly to their leaders departure. Although Proconsul JaM3z was a strong and capable leader, fractures splintered the discipline and faith of both Dark Jedi Arconan's and the other inhabitants of the Dajorra system. As leaders changed new methods of rule were sought out, but none could gain control of the system as effectively or completely as the Doto Doctrine. Realising the escalating troubles within the Dajorra system and wanting to protect Arcona from interference from the Chamber of Justcie or other Dark Council bodies, Mejas returned to aide Consul JaM3z in re-establishing totalitarian rule of the system. Annointing himself as "Lord High Justice of the Doctrine", the former Consul reinforced the brutal regime, known as the Doto Doctrine, which instantly wrested full control back to the Clan summit. Following Mejas's departure into the Shadow Realm, a body of Doctrinal Fiscals were established throughout the system and while the day to day judicial system is managed in conjunction with the Clan summit, Mejas retains full control of the systems laws through his role as Lord High Justice of the Doctrine.
 

== Trivia ==
Did you know that...
*Mejas Doto was taken before the Chamber of Justice when he was a Guardian and demoted back to an Apprentice for cheating in Shadow Academy exams via IRC. How ironic he would later be the leader of the faculty he tried to dupe!
*Mejas Doto created the Ektrosian artefact "[[The Orb of Pomojema]]" back when he was a Jedi Hunter in Ektrosis.
*Mejas Doto was responsible for having Ass-tatine banned from IRC, after requesting the support of two long time friends (and fortunately High Court Inquisitors!) Trevarus Caerick and Chi-Long.
*Mejas Doto created the original Crescent and Star of Eos images for the website and Dark Side Compendium.
*Mejas Doto originally wanted to name the new Arconan system as Labia Majora, with one of the system moons/planets taking the name Labia Minora. However, after a lengthy discussion with his Proconsul, Voranyen, the name Dajorra was adopted (D from Doto and ajorra used as a variant of Majora). Mejas and Voranyen were also responsible for naming the rest of the system.
*During the exodus, Proconsul Voranyen named the site of the new Clan headquarters, on Selen, "Doto Rock". This was in homage to Consul Mejas Doto - even although it is widely known that the area isn't very rocky!
*Mejas Doto is the channel manager for #arcona on IRC
*Mejas Doto is the weilder of the infamous "Doto Doctrine", a channel control policy unparalleled throughout the Brotherhood IRC network for it's brutality and totalitarian grip.
*Mejas Doto always refers to Malik Sadow as "Manlik".
*Mejas Doto is one of the few non-Tarenti (members of Tarentum) allowed past Yridia IX on his personal craft. Others include GM [[Chi-Long]], GM [[Justinian Khyron]] and DJM [[Trevarus Caerick]].
*Mejas Doto was once defeated at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, by Korax and [[Chi-Long]] whilst visiting Canada!
*Mejas Doto once earnt a CF for defeating Timeros Caesus Entar at rock, paper, scissors whilst visiting Amsterdam!
*Mejas Doto designed and implemented the heraldic shields of the Justicar's office. This originally started with [[Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor|Yacko]]'s competition, but was further fleshed out during [[Kir Katarn]]'s tenure as Justicar. All three post-exodus Justicar's (DJM Yacko, GM Firefox and DJM Kir) have had their crests created by Mejas.
*Mejas Doto is one of the first Dark Jedi to have his own smilie created: [[Image:mejas-smilie.gif]]

Of more or less average height and build, Malidir has a face and physique that more than a few human and non-human females have been known to find rather attractive. This general allure that he has held with the opposite sex often promotes dislike by males. Malidir has black hair, a well-groomed beard and hazel-green eyes.

=== Childhood ===

=== Adolesence ===
By the time that he was about 19 standard years old, Malidir grew a bit tired of his current living situation. He already knew most of what he was taught in his various classes, and things were going from bad to worse in his affairs with various girls living in lower parts of Coruscant. After being jumped by street toughs more than once, and being throughly trounced each time, he decided that it was high time to leave home and try to hone his nascent affinity towards the Force. The dark side seemed like just the answer he was looking for. He worked as a thief, mercenary and eventually as a pilot. Not in any cohesive unit, but rather as a privateer, playing his own game by his own rules, with profit and the ability to finance his lifestyle his only concerns. At least at first...

Di Tenebrous Arconae

2008-05-29T15:07:16Z

Mejasdoto: Under Construction Banner added

{{construction}}
The highest honour an Arconan can receive is to be afforded the title "di Tenebrous Arconae", signifying both their dedication to the Clan and their past efforts in helping to shape Arcona.

Members who have received this honour are allowed to use "Arconae" in their name or may append the honaray "di Tenebrous Arconae" title to the end of their name. The Arconae derive their powers from the Abyssal Tome, each one a guardian of the secrets contained within.

To become Arconae is a long and ardurous process, the final selection chosen by the Consul of Arcona in consultation with the other di Tenebrous Arconae.
[[Image:ArconaAbyssalTome.jpg|150px|right|thumb|The Abyssal Tome.]]

====Modified Title Exceptions====
As the first member of Clan Arcona to be awarded a Clan title, [[Mejas Doto]] uses a modified version of the standard Clan title, signing all documents as: Mejas Doto, di ''''Primus'''' Tenebrous Arconae.

===Bearers of "di Tenebrous Arconae"===
====Current Title Bearers====
The followings members, in order of rank, are the current bearers of the Clan Arcona title:
* [[Mejas Doto]]
* [[CyberGuy Quiritatio Entar]]
* [[James Lucius Entar Arconae]]
* [[Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae]]
* [[Sashar Kodiak Erinos]]
* [[Vassan Rokir]]

====Past Title Bearers====
The followings members, in order of rank, are members who have been awarded the Clan Arcona title but have lost the ability to be formally recognised with the title until the Clan summit deems them worthy. This may be due to transferring out of the Clan or due to an incident that has tarnished the name of the Clan:
* [[Khobai Wrathraven]] - DISSENTER
* [[Voranyen d’Tana-Arconae]] - ROGUE
* [[Alex d`Tana]] - DISSENTER
* [[Koskian 'Psycho' d`Tana]] - DISSENTER
* [[Denath Ciarus]] - ROGUE
* [[Quejo Drakai Xyler]] - DISSENTER

===The Rites of the Abyssal Tome===
Handed down from Consul to Consul, the Abyssal tome is the secret source of the dark power known as Shadowcrafting. Bestowed only on Clan Arcona, this ancient codex holds within it the secrets of the dark realm that exists both in the absence of light, and that shadowed aspect that haunts the souls of all living creatures. Though the manipulations of the Abyssal dimension through the Force is taught to those Arconans dedicated to learning them, certain secret arts are known only to the keeper of the Abyssal Tome, and these are shared only with those that have proved themselves worthy. The following rituals may only be granted by the Consul of Clan Arcona to members who have gone consistently above and beyond the call of duty. The Consul, for the time of his or her tenure in the position, has access to all four rituals. Any non-Consul member, however, can never be taught, or have access, to more than two of the rituals. Arconans who attain the title of “di Tenebrous Arconae” are automatically deserving of learning a ritual, granted they do not already know two. It is expected that the Elders of Arcona who have held the title for many years would eventually have knowledge of all stated and perhaps more advanced Rites.

====Abyssal Communion====
This ritual requires the caster to sit in an open area that has been witness to a dark event in its past (this can be determined using the Inner Darkness power “Shades of the Past”). The caster must then be surrounded by seven individuals, standing in a circle, whose individual shadows all fall across the caster at the center (this will most likely involve some creative lighting arrangements prior to the initiation of the ritual). Whether these individuals are willing or unwilling participants does not matter, but they must remain stationary for the duration of the ritual. The caster then must meditate for 2 hours, in silence, on the nature of true darkness while repeating a secret phrase over and over again in his or her mind. At the completion of the 2 hours, the shadows of those in the circle will separate from their owners, and seem to be drawn into the caster. For the next standard day, the caster may now extend his abilities in Shadowcrafting to all shadows, literally or figuratively, and no longer suffers the restriction of being limited just to his or her own dark reflection. This rite may only be performed once in any standard week.

* [[Mejas Doto]]
* [[Vassan Rokir]]

====Banishment====
One of the most powerful and mysterious of the arts within the Abyssal Tome, completion of this ritual can throw a specific individual into the Abyss itself, never to return. The caster must procure the following items: -A physical “piece” of the target: a lock of hair, a fingernail, etc. -A black candle, made with wax that has been mixed with the venom of a Kouhun, a reptilian/insect native to the planet Induomodo [the centipede-like things that Zam Wesell sent to kill the sleeping Padme in Episode II] -A representation of the target (photo, painting, small statue, etc.) The caster must sit in a quiet space and arrange the gathered items thusly: In front of him, the representation of the target individual. To his right, the black candle. To his left, the piece of the target. The caster must concentrate on the representation for a full thirty minutes, in which time they must consider the “whole” of the person, both physically and spiritually. This will most likely require that they be very familiar with the person in question (this ritual cannot be enacted upon random strangers). After this time of concentration, the caster takes the candle, and places it in front of the representation, and recites a secret passage from the Abyssal Tome which he will have had to memorize beforehand. The candle is then lit. The caster then takes the piece of the target, and holds it in front of his face, and says: “In my darkness, you are my victim. In the darkness will you be swallowed.” The caster then burns the piece of the victim in the flame of the candle, holding it while it burns. The caster must then cover his fingers in the ash of the item. He must then take the representation, draw a circle in ash on the target’s forehead, then place the representation next to the still lit candle. If performed correctly, the shadow cast by the representation, by the light of the candle, will briefly transform into a portal directly into the Abyss, and the representation, and the candle, will be sucked within it. Wherever the target may be, his own shadow will consume him likewise, and he will literally disappear from the physical plane. This rite can only be performed once in any standard month.

* [[James Lucius Entar Arconae]]
* [[Vassan Rokir]]

====Abyssal Lightning====
A caster must cup his palms to his mouth, and utter a secret phrase into the small space of darkness created therein. For the next hour, the casters hands will appear to be literal constructs of darkness, as if the were made of pure shadow. At the caster’s mere touch, a person will feel a chilling coldness run through their body. But that is merely a side effect. At will, over the hour this rite is in effect, a caster may throw bolts of what appear to be lightning, though they cause far different effects than their Force-lightning counterparts. First, the explosion of these bolts is more akin to a growling whisper, as though this power were being summoned by some ominous, feral beast. Secondly, this “lightning” does not electrocute. Victims of Abyssal lightning can suffer an array of effects, depending on their individual temperament. None of the effects are “positive.” If the lightning strikes a relatively “good” person, the bolts will bring forth their darkest instincts, turning them into a creature of pure rage, whose only thought is to snuff out that “light” closest to them: the light within themselves. This causes the victim to become wholly self-destructive: tearing at their own flesh, beating themselves violently, slamming themselves against hard objects. All these actions and more are possible, but they will all be animalistic, and reflexive. Unless already in the possession of one, a person in this state of mind will not become so creative as to shoot themselves with a blaster, or have the patience of mind to hang themselves. Their actions will be, in a word, bestial. If the lightning strikes a person rife with their own darkness, their mind will be filled with voices, images and hallucinations of the pain and anguish they have caused through their past actions. To “atone” for these things, the person will be driven to the very same instinct as those of a “lighter” nature described above. This rite can only be performed once during any standard day.

====Summon the Abyss====
Probably the most powerful of all the rituals, completion of this rite blurs the line between where our reality ends, and the Abyssal dimension begins. The caster must sit in the shadows cast by 10 darksiders (again, this will most likely require creative lighting preparations). These individuals can either be willing, or unwilling. However, if they are willing, it is best they are not told the dire consequences of participating in this ritual. The caster must then raise his own shadow around himself, in the shape of a column. To observers, it will appear as if all the shadows are combining into the column…which they soon will be. The caster must recite the full names of all those gathered about him, and with each name recite, briefly, a dark act they have committed using the Force. The caster must then meditate on the darkness that opposes light, and the darkness within both himself and the gathered, for 1 full hour. At the apex of the ritual, the shadows of the gathered will leave their owners and seep into the dark column. However, this is not merely an absence of their shadow: their dark souls are themselves being ripped from them. In essence, the whole of the gathered darkness is being sacrificed to summon the Abyss. This leaves the gathered darksiders, for all intents and purposes, lobotomized. After the dark souls have joined the column, an observer would literally witness a geyser of darkness explode silently from the column, shooting high into the air. At a point perhaps 3 miles above the caster, the geyser will begin to “umbrella,” and fall in the shape of a dome across an area nearly 50 miles wide. This area is now one with the Abyss. The conditions of an area overtaken by the Abyss are, at best, merely myth. However, some conjectures have been made: Any person who has even the slightest mastery of Shadowcrafting will be raised to nearly godlike status in this melded world of reality and darkness. Abyssal entities will roam this area, creatures of pure darkness. Though a sun will still be visible through this shroud, it’s light will be darkness, and shadows will be of pale light. Further effects are unknown. It is said that the effected area will remain such for a standard year, though no one knows for certain. As well, it is thought that this ritual may only be performed once in a caster’s lifetime. It is unknown what lasting effects such a summoning would have on a caster, though.

Di Tenebrous Arconae

2008-05-29T15:03:24Z

Mejasdoto:

The highest honour an Arconan can receive is to be afforded the title "di Tenebrous Arconae", signifying both their dedication to the Clan and their past efforts in helping to shape Arcona.

Members who have received this honour are allowed to use "Arconae" in their name or may append the honaray "di Tenebrous Arconae" title to the end of their name. The Arconae derive their powers from the Abyssal Tome, each one a guardian of the secrets contained within.

To become Arconae is a long and ardurous process, the final selection chosen by the Consul of Arcona in consultation with the other di Tenebrous Arconae.
[[Image:ArconaAbyssalTome.jpg|150px|right|thumb|The Abyssal Tome.]]

====Modified Title Exceptions====
As the first member of Clan Arcona to be awarded a Clan title, [[Mejas Doto]] uses a modified version of the standard Clan title, signing all documents as: Mejas Doto, di ''''Primus'''' Tenebrous Arconae.

===Bearers of "di Tenebrous Arconae"===
====Current Title Bearers====
The followings members, in order of rank, are the current bearers of the Clan Arcona title:
* [[Mejas Doto]]
* [[CyberGuy Quiritatio Entar]]
* [[James Lucius Entar Arconae]]
* [[Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae]]
* [[Sashar Kodiak Erinos]]
* [[Vassan Rokir]]

====Past Title Bearers====
The followings members, in order of rank, are members who have been awarded the Clan Arcona title but have lost the ability to be formally recognised with the title until the Clan summit deems them worthy. This may be due to transferring out of the Clan or due to an incident that has tarnished the name of the Clan:
* [[Khobai Wrathraven]] - DISSENTER
* [[Voranyen d’Tana-Arconae]] - ROGUE
* [[Alex d`Tana]] - DISSENTER
* [[Koskian 'Psycho' d`Tana]] - DISSENTER
* [[Denath Ciarus]] - ROGUE
* [[Quejo Drakai Xyler]] - DISSENTER

===The Rites of the Abyssal Tome===
Handed down from Consul to Consul, the Abyssal tome is the secret source of the dark power known as Shadowcrafting. Bestowed only on Clan Arcona, this ancient codex holds within it the secrets of the dark realm that exists both in the absence of light, and that shadowed aspect that haunts the souls of all living creatures. Though the manipulations of the Abyssal dimension through the Force is taught to those Arconans dedicated to learning them, certain secret arts are known only to the keeper of the Abyssal Tome, and these are shared only with those that have proved themselves worthy. The following rituals may only be granted by the Consul of Clan Arcona to members who have gone consistently above and beyond the call of duty. The Consul, for the time of his or her tenure in the position, has access to all four rituals. Any non-Consul member, however, can never be taught, or have access, to more than two of the rituals. Arconans who attain the title of “di Tenebrous Arconae” are automatically deserving of learning a ritual, granted they do not already know two. It is expected that the Elders of Arcona who have held the title for many years would eventually have knowledge of all stated and perhaps more advanced Rites.

====Abyssal Communion====
This ritual requires the caster to sit in an open area that has been witness to a dark event in its past (this can be determined using the Inner Darkness power “Shades of the Past”). The caster must then be surrounded by seven individuals, standing in a circle, whose individual shadows all fall across the caster at the center (this will most likely involve some creative lighting arrangements prior to the initiation of the ritual). Whether these individuals are willing or unwilling participants does not matter, but they must remain stationary for the duration of the ritual. The caster then must meditate for 2 hours, in silence, on the nature of true darkness while repeating a secret phrase over and over again in his or her mind. At the completion of the 2 hours, the shadows of those in the circle will separate from their owners, and seem to be drawn into the caster. For the next standard day, the caster may now extend his abilities in Shadowcrafting to all shadows, literally or figuratively, and no longer suffers the restriction of being limited just to his or her own dark reflection. This rite may only be performed once in any standard week.

====Banishment====
One of the most powerful and mysterious of the arts within the Abyssal Tome, completion of this ritual can throw a specific individual into the Abyss itself, never to return. The caster must procure the following items: -A physical “piece” of the target: a lock of hair, a fingernail, etc. -A black candle, made with wax that has been mixed with the venom of a Kouhun, a reptilian/insect native to the planet Induomodo [the centipede-like things that Zam Wesell sent to kill the sleeping Padme in Episode II] -A representation of the target (photo, painting, small statue, etc.) The caster must sit in a quiet space and arrange the gathered items thusly: In front of him, the representation of the target individual. To his right, the black candle. To his left, the piece of the target. The caster must concentrate on the representation for a full thirty minutes, in which time they must consider the “whole” of the person, both physically and spiritually. This will most likely require that they be very familiar with the person in question (this ritual cannot be enacted upon random strangers). After this time of concentration, the caster takes the candle, and places it in front of the representation, and recites a secret passage from the Abyssal Tome which he will have had to memorize beforehand. The candle is then lit. The caster then takes the piece of the target, and holds it in front of his face, and says: “In my darkness, you are my victim. In the darkness will you be swallowed.” The caster then burns the piece of the victim in the flame of the candle, holding it while it burns. The caster must then cover his fingers in the ash of the item. He must then take the representation, draw a circle in ash on the target’s forehead, then place the representation next to the still lit candle. If performed correctly, the shadow cast by the representation, by the light of the candle, will briefly transform into a portal directly into the Abyss, and the representation, and the candle, will be sucked within it. Wherever the target may be, his own shadow will consume him likewise, and he will literally disappear from the physical plane. This rite can only be performed once in any standard month.

====Abyssal Lightning====
A caster must cup his palms to his mouth, and utter a secret phrase into the small space of darkness created therein. For the next hour, the casters hands will appear to be literal constructs of darkness, as if the were made of pure shadow. At the caster’s mere touch, a person will feel a chilling coldness run through their body. But that is merely a side effect. At will, over the hour this rite is in effect, a caster may throw bolts of what appear to be lightning, though they cause far different effects than their Force-lightning counterparts. First, the explosion of these bolts is more akin to a growling whisper, as though this power were being summoned by some ominous, feral beast. Secondly, this “lightning” does not electrocute. Victims of Abyssal lightning can suffer an array of effects, depending on their individual temperament. None of the effects are “positive.” If the lightning strikes a relatively “good” person, the bolts will bring forth their darkest instincts, turning them into a creature of pure rage, whose only thought is to snuff out that “light” closest to them: the light within themselves. This causes the victim to become wholly self-destructive: tearing at their own flesh, beating themselves violently, slamming themselves against hard objects. All these actions and more are possible, but they will all be animalistic, and reflexive. Unless already in the possession of one, a person in this state of mind will not become so creative as to shoot themselves with a blaster, or have the patience of mind to hang themselves. Their actions will be, in a word, bestial. If the lightning strikes a person rife with their own darkness, their mind will be filled with voices, images and hallucinations of the pain and anguish they have caused through their past actions. To “atone” for these things, the person will be driven to the very same instinct as those of a “lighter” nature described above. This rite can only be performed once during any standard day.

Vassan Rokir is a career-long member of Clan Arcona, and an adherant of the [[Krath Order]] within the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. Having been a member of the Brotherhood years prior to the great [[Exodus]], Rokir has served Clan Arcona loyally, holding almost every leadership position within it at one time or another.

Now a Consul Emeritus of Clan Arcona and patriarch of the [[Rokir]] family, Vassan serves as counsel to members of the Dark Brotherhood both new and old.

=Biography=
==Birth and early years==
Chanlin Aldus Marr was born 17 years before the Battle of Yavin, on the Royal world of [[Ricaldi]]. Ricaldi is a planet within the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Melantha_Province Melantha] region of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tapani_Sector Tapani] Sector. Ricaldi is a “royal” planet, in the sense that it and its sister planets in the Melantha region, are controlled by House Melantha, an ancient family of aristocracy.

Chanlin was the only child of Haylon and Kara Marr, and while his family did not possess any royal title, they did possess something almost of equal value: technology. Haylon Marr was founder and CEO of Marr Technologies, a firm that focused mainly on private contracting of defensive weapons and devices, both on the personal and military scale. As such, Chanlin was exposed early on to the inner workings of both weapons systems and the rigors of the corporate battlefield.

Haylon Marr was a hard man, ruthless and paranoid. His main goal was to succeed and outdo the opulence of the self-centered Royalty that inhabited the rest of the Planet. But deep down, he wanted to produce technology that would protect his family, and his home, from a coming conflict he was sure was just over the horizon. But this motivation was held so deeply, that he revealed it to no one, for fear he might appear as “weak” or “sentimental.” His pride and determination were noteworthy. But he put his pride first; his family almost always came second. Kara Marr was on the other end of the scale: meek and submissive. She loved and stood by her husband, trying to be a good wife to him and raise a healthy son who might carry on his work.

===Early Education and Growth===
Chanlin took quite well to his schooling as a boy, excelling in language and communication. He also seemed to be at one with his home world. By the age of eight, he had memorized almost every street, building, nook and cranny that might be found in the inhabited regions. Every time his father’s work took him to a different area of Ricaldi, or off-world, Chanlin would plead to tag along to see more of the part of the universe he lived in.

Wanting to please his father, but never exactly sure how to, Chanlin submitted his application to the Imperial Academy when he was 15. His father took note of this, commenting that if Chanlin were to end up a pilot, he would at least have a fighting chance with the shield designs Marr Technologies was producing. But Haylon appeared to pay only little attention to his son’s admission into the military. Kara, however, cried and worried for her son, but acquiesced to his decision. Chanlin was upset his father didn’t react any further, but made a personal promise to show his father his worth through military achievement.

Fortunately for Chanlin, House Melantha, and thus the Melantha region in general, had strong ties to the Emperor and the New Order, making admission and transportation to the nearby Imperial Academy fairly easy. It also helped that Haylon secretly pulled some strings within the Empire to get his son into the academy. He had made quite a few friends over the years, fulfilling so many military contracts.

===Imperial Years===
Chanlin enrolled in the Kormo Imperial Academy, which was housed on a remote Space Platform near the fringes of the Melantha region. Over the course of his studies and training, his almost miraculous skills in language and communications served him well. His instructors began grooming him for a possible command position in the Imperial Fleet. But other forces took notice of these budding talents. And from the shadows, Chanlin had a different kind of instructor, marking his progress.
Chanlin graduated the academy when he was 18, and received high marks in all categories, especially in communications and diplomacy. Haylon congratulated his son as best as he was able: with a firm handshake and a pat on the back. It wasn’t much, but it was more than Chanlin had received from his father since he was a child.

The Battle of Yavin having just occurred a few months prior, the Empire was in need of top Graduates to fill the void created with the destruction of the Death Star, and its resident command officers. With his knowledge of weapons and defensive systems, Chanlin’s first assignment was at weapons control the Imperial Corvette Lexan, stationed near his home world. While Chanlin yearned more to exercise his natural abilities in languages, his family name seemed to have him pre-destined to sit at a console.

===Aboard the Lexan===
The Lexan’s main assignment was system patrol and security. The tour held much boredom for Chanlin. At least at first. Soon he got to see some action, and witness events that would set the course of his thinking, and his life, for years to come.
[[Image:CCRV.jpg|thumb|250px|The Lexan]]
While on a standard patrol, the Lexan received a distress call from Ricaldi Spaceport Security. A group of Rebels had hijacked a squadron of experimental fighter craft from a local corporation, and were attempting to escape the system center and enter hyperspace. The Lexan responded, moving to intercept the oncoming fighters. Then an Imperial Official came in over the Comm, demanding that the fighters be disabled and captured, rather than destroyed, as they were valuable military equipment. The Captain gave the affirmative just as the fighters came into range. Chanlin was ordered to open up with Ion Cannons to disable the ships but, incredibly, despite several direct hits, no damage was done to the fighters shields. The crew wasn’t quite sure what to do. But Chanlin took a moment to look at the fighters, and recognized them from designs he’d seen in his father’s office. Marr Technologies designs.

“Sir,” Chanlin began, “I’m familiar with the shield systems of those fighters. If we recalibrate the Ion Cannons to a frequency of .0706, it should be able to bypass their shields and disable their systems.”

The Captain stared at Chanlin for a moment but, not seeing any other option, gave the order to recalibrate. Chanlin did the adjustments at lightning speed, and announced he was ready to fire.
“Commence firing,” the Captain coolly ordered.

As advertised, the adjusted Ion blasts went through the shields like they weren’t even there. The Rebels were quickly disabled and pulled into the Lexan.

Chanlin had never run into any Rebels before, but his first impression was not a favorable one: they had stolen from his father. They had stolen from his family.
“They had stolen from me,” he thought.

===Imperial Career and Downfall===
Chanlin rose in the Imperial ranks quite quickly over the next 7 years, and at the age of 25 was made Executive Officer aboard the Star Destroyer Indomitable. But his newfound rank would not last for very long, for his first assignment as XO was to provide support for an ambush.
The ambush at Endor.

Chanlin and the rest of his crewmates fought valiantly during the battle, but it was for naught. The Emperor was defeated, and the Empire had an uncertain future.

Retreating from Endor, and with many of the crew dead from collateral damage, Chanlin knew that this was just the beginning of the Rebels’ quest for power. He decided then that he had to do all he could to ensure that his home not fall under the sway of the outlaws.

After fulfilling the final three years of his Tour of Duty, Chanlin returned home to tragedy. His father, so strong and resolute, was dying. It was on his deathbed that Haylon confessed his true feelings for his son, and asked forgiveness for not being a better father. In tears, Chanlin watched as his father died before he could give him the forgiveness he needed.

Chanlin became resolute himself, then. He swore he would protect his home and his mother from the Rebels that had taken him away to war while his father lay dying. Chanlin decided that any sort of normal life to be had would have to be put on hold, until he was certain that the “New Republic” never established a grip on his home.

==The Emperor's Hammer==
[[Image:EHLogo.gif|thumb|150px|right|EH Logo]]
With the fracturing of the Galactic Empire after Palpatine's death, Chanlin found new hope within the powerful faction of the Emperor's Hammer, at first joining its TIE Corps, piloting a Missile Boat in Mu Squadron, exercising skills already honed through years of prior Imperial Service.

During this time, Chanlin sought more meaning to his career, and an increase in his influence within the EH, and thus tried his hand at military espionage with the EH Intelligence Division for a short time.

But he soon tired of the limited influence military service had garnered him, and his concerns for the safety of his homeworld during this turbulent period of galactic history brought his attention more and more to how he could best serve his people. And it was this concern that turned his attention towards politics, and the Imperial Senate.

===Birth of a Politician, Birth into Darkness===
Using the considerable inheritance he received upon his father’s death, Chanlin challenged the leaders of the ruling House Melantha in a political battle to refrain from bending to the overtures of the New Republic, knowing its government was founded by thieves, pirates, and malcontents. Chanlin brought to the fight his family name, and an almost unnatural charisma that seemed to draw those of influence to him at the very times he needed their support. The shadows took notice, and drew closer.

It was during one of the public rallies against joining the New Republic that Chanlin arrived at the second major crossroads in his life. After making a speech to a large crowd, he invited questions from the gathered. A dark, robed figure stepped forward, and spoke a question in a tongue unknown by anyone in the crowd. Chanlin heard the words, and knew they were all but gibberish, but somehow…he understood. He answered back, almost on reflex: “Of course I would give my life for my home. It is why I stand here today.” The dark figure at first looked surprised, and then looked pleased.

Later that day, Chanlin was approached by the mysterious figure. He was told of the power that awaited him, and the secrets to be discovered of the true masters of the galaxy. He was told they could all be his, but he must leave his home, and dedicate his life to the study of the ancient powers.

Chanlin was intrigued, and felt, somehow, that the cloaked man spoke the truth. That very day his packed his things, said goodbye to his mother, and left to become a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

===A Member of the Sith===
Relying first upon his piloting skills, Chanlin Marr joined the Brotherhood as a member of the Sith Order, and chose the then House Arcona as his home. He began as a Flight member of Torment Squadron aboard the House's Flagship, Eye of the Abyss, under flight leader Shotgun. The House Quaestor, [[Nighthawk]], took an early interest in Chanlin, impressed with his enthusiasm, and creativity.

It was during this time that the numbers of Arconans swelled, after an internal conflict within [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. And thus Nighthawk moved to expand House Arcona into [[Clan Arcona]]. His call was quickly heeded by the [[Dark Council]], and Clan Arcona was founded. But it was soon thereafter that Chanlin came to a personal crossroads, finding again that service in the military, even the Brotherhood's military, was too limiting. Thus he transferred into the [[Krath Order]], and went into seclusion as a Rogue for several years in order to further his studies.

===Resurfacing===
Appearing again two years before the Exodus, Chanlin rejoined Clan Arcona and took a new name to signify this rebirth: "Vassan," the name of the Marr family founder, and a great architect; and "Rokir," the name of the desolate moon of his homeworld Ricaldi, as well as that of an ancient Ricaldian warlord.

He quickly impressed the masters of Clan Arcona, and was placed as Tetrarch of the Hell's Gatekeeper's Phyle, wherein he took on students such as Paladorian, and Timeros. He led the HsGk Phyle to great success, and it was around this time that hid duty to his home called upon him.

===A Senator, A Deputy Chancellor===
The Force guiding him, Vassan traveled back to Ricaldi and, under his real name, soon sued to represent his people to the Imperial Senate of the Emperor's Hammer. With his natural charm, backed by his powers in the Dark Side of the Force, he was quickly elected by his people, much against the desires of House Melantha, who saw a democratic representative as a threat to their temporal control over Ricaldi.

[[Image:Senate_symbol.gif|frame|left|Seal of the EH Imperial Senate]]

The newly minted Senator made a fast impression upon then-Chancellor Shadonyx, who, quite incredibly, made Chanlin Marr his Deputy Chancellor only months after joining the Senate. Marr served the Chancellor admirably for a great length of time, making contacts with such future Brotherhood luminaries as [[Trevarus Caerick]], and the future [[Halcyon Rokir]]. All the while, the darkness watched intently.

===Chancellor===
But a tumult soon came, wherein Shadonyx, made weary by the weight of politics, lost his sanity and attempted to destroy the entire Senate in an act of sabotage, but he came to his senses long enough to merely step down. The Command Staff of the Emperor's Hammer moved quickly to fill the power vacuum, and elevated Chanlin Marr to Chancellor of the Imperial Senate.

[[Image:Libseal.jpg|frame|right|Seal of the Liberal Party]]

Chanlin's time as Chancellor was one fraught with conflict: butting up against the EH Command Staff to better define the Senate's purpose under a Dictatorship, while at the same time working to gather as many representatives from the myriad of worlds under EH influence, and adding their unique information and culture to the collective databases of the EH Archives. Towards this end, Chanlin Marr ordered the creation of the tripartite system: The Liberal, Conservative, and Independent parties within the Imperial Senate. It was hoped that by alloting the various members of the Senate along philosophical lines of what sort of progression would be "best" for the Empire, a more productive purpose could be found for the political body.

But despite his best efforts, the Command Staff of the Emperor's Hammer would not release any form of control in order to give the Senate true purpose within the organization And thus Chanlin Marr resigned in protest, and quietly returned to Ricaldi. It would be a year before he would again emerge from the shadows.

==After the Exodus==
===Decision===
When word reached the Tapani Sector that the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had ceded from the Emperor's Hammer, Chanlin Marr, still acting-Senator of his homeworld, came to a crossroads. He knew that a Dark Brotherhood unsuppressed by the maddening restrictions of Grand Admiral Ronin would flourish with power. His instinct was to immediately leave Ricaldi, and rejoin Arcona towards a glorious new future.

However, Chanlin knew that if he were to abandon his place as Ricaldi's political represenative, the Melantha Ruling Family would almost immediately retake control of the system, and move to realign with what remained of the Empire, namely the quickly eroding EH.

His connection to the Brotherhood and the Dark Side of the Force still little more than a rumor to those outside of the Brotherhood, Chanlin confronted the Melantha Regent, Lord Symon and, using the Force, bent Symon to his will. Ricaldi's political alignment would be held as Independant, and Chanlin would remain the systems official Representative even while abroad. Shortly therafter, Vassan Rokir made his way back to Brotherhood-controlled space.

===Return to The Brotherhood===
Vassan's return to the Brotherhood was met with a flurry of activity. The Exodus had reinvigorated the defecting members of the Organization, and therer was a newfound sense of purpose and survival, absent the stifling control of the EH Command Staff.

Upon arrival at the Brotherhood's new throne world of Antei, Vassan crossed paths once more with his old ally from the EH Imperial Senate, [[Trevarus Caerick]], the recently appointed [[Oracle]] of the Dark Side. The Oracle saw much value in the arrival of so experienced a collegue as a former Chancellor, and soon named Vassan his Praetor. In this role, Vassan was tasked into deep and detailed research into the Origins of the Sith Order, seeking out the history of its mysterious founder.

===Return to Arcona===
At the same time, Vassan returned once more to Clan Arcona, where his wisdom and experience were quickly recognized by his being appointed [[Tetrarch]] of the Dark Orb Phyle within House Qel-Droma, the House's "veteran" Phyle. It was during this time and his work with Dark Orb that he was overwhelmingly promoted to Archpriest within the Krath Order.

===The Challenge of Ashvroth===
(coming soon)

===Ascension in House Qel-Droma===
Shortly after the Ashvroth incident, and likely in part because of it, Vassan was elevated to [[Aedile]] of House Qel-Droma, in the lead-up to what would be called the "Capital Gains" war. And only just afterwards occurred the [[Fifth Great Jedi War|5th Great Sith War]], in which Vassan was instrumental in gaining Arcona many victories.

(More soon)

===To the Clan Summit===
(under construction)

Upon being elevated to the Iron Throne of power within the Hall of Shadows in the Citadel on Selen, outgoing Consul James Lucius Entar presented Vassan the [[Abyssal Tome]]; the source of Arcona's secret powers and history.

For the next five days and nights, Vassan secluded himself within his new gained chambers, pouring over the Abyssal Tome, intent upon learning of the power it held.

===Eye of the Abyss===
In the middle of the night on the fifth night, a horrible scream echoed throughout the Hall of Shadows. His attendants rushing to his aid, they found Vassan standing above the Abyssal Tome, which lay dropped on the floor, open to its final page. And when Vassan turned to those who meant to aid him, they beheld what the powers of the abyss had wrought:

Vassan's left eye had been replaced, and scarred, by the abyss itself. He has never revealed what happened to to him on that night, nor what he saw, or had shown to him, that caused his mystical injury.

It is rumored that this "eye of the abyss," in conjunction with his undamaged right eye, allows Vassan to see the world as it exists both in the light seen by all, and the shadows that lie beneath.

==Force Powers==
Beyond the main school of Force powers taught within the Dark Brotherhood, Vassan is also exceedingly well-versed in Arcona's secret school of powers known as [[Shadowcrafting]].

Having refined the Clan's knowledge of these powers with his own personal investigations, Vassan has proceeded down the "Inner Darkness" path of Shadowcrafting powers. In addition, his former role as Clan Consul entitled him to specialized training in two of Shadowcrafting's four powerful rituals: "Banishment" and "Abyssal Communion."

==Personal Possessions==
*A custom lightsaber, which Vassan designed himself, and had built by the master craftsman, [[Cyris Oscura]]

== Trivia ==
*At the time of "House" Arcona's transition to become a Clan, Vassan's submission for the Clan motto, "Our Darkness Shall Shatter The Light," lost by one vote: his own. He had tragically gone against his Dark Jedi instincts, and was a "good sport," voting for what would end up becoming the Clan's motto to this day: "Light Is Limited; Darkness Is Infinite."
*Former Consul Nighthawk came to call then-Chanlin Marr "that idea guy."
*Single-handedly researched and revised Clan Arcona's powers of [[Shadowcrafting]].
*Designed/built customized temples/headquarters for each of Clan Arcona's previous 3 Houses, Qel-Droma, Oriens Obscurum, and Galeres

==Former Positions==

{{Eras|featured}}
Mejas Doto is a solitary, hate filled figure who is as equally revered throughout [[Clan Arcona]] as he is feared outside of the Dajorra system. One of the most highly decorated and powerful Dark Jedi in the Brotherhood, the Shadow Lord is reknowned for his ferocity in battle, his malice towards all those he considers unworthy and his general lack of adherance to protocol, etiquette and rules.

== Character History ==
=== The Beginning ===
[[Image:MejasFather.jpg|150px|left|thumb|A supposed image of Mejas Doto's father.]]Born on an unknown planet in the Outer Rim nineteen years before the Battle of Yavin, Mejas Doto was the son of two Zabrak; one a Bounty Hunter and the other a Mercenary. The couple were believed to be native to Iridonia but little to nothing is known about their existence. It has been suggested that Mejas was raised in the criminal underworld as an accomplice to his parents; some have implied that the child’s father must have been Force sensitive in order to begin Mejas’s training from an early age and helped nurture such a powerful Force user. However, there is no existing evidence to support either of these claims and Mejas Doto himself has never discussed his upbringing. It can only be presumed that the childhood of the Zabrak holds some explanation to his current character, as he is even more deeply brutal, aggressive and solitary than others of his species.

=== Induction into the Brotherhood ===
[[Image:Loki.jpg|100px|right|thumb|The planet Loki with its moon Hodr.]]On Loki in the [[Phare System]], [[House Marka Ragnos]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] had based their stronghold during the years of alliance with the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. It was here that Mejas was sold by the Trandoshan mercenary Zassk. The [[Clan]] summit, in a bid to revitalize their numbers and find the future of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], had provided a variety of mercenaries (Zassk being one of them) with the task of locating any Force sensitive users and bringing them to Loki for their “initial assessments”. No questions were asked by the contractor’s and the mercenaries couldn’t care either way. The story behind Mejas’s separation from his parents, to this date, is still unknown.

Upon arriving on Loki the stolen Zabrak was resolute, silent and controlled. He had no communication with his peers and when approached was so vicious in his assaults that soon nobody pressed Mejas for anything. During training he stood out amongst all others for his physical prowess, fighting skills and callous nature. However, his control of the Force was poor due to his inability to focus, remain patient and learn to harness his skills. This was almost his undoing as the Dark Jedi of Clan Naga Sadow only wanted the “students” who could prove themselves capable across all areas. Fortunately, the [[House|House's]] [[Quaestor]] at the time, [[Trevarus Caerick]], reviewed the students prior to their selection for execution or [[Shadow Academy]] training. He over ruled the training master, commenting that “''such primal hatred should never be dismissed so easily.''”

And so, Mejas was afforded the opportunity to train at the Shadow Academy under [[Headmaster]] [[Kumba]], as long as he agreed to return to Marka Ragnos upon his appointment to the rank of [[Guardian]]. The young Zabrak agreed – not for the sake of compliance or through fear or respect, but because he awaited the day when he could return to Loki and exact his vengeance upon all those who felt they controlled his destiny.

=== Infamy from the Start ===
[[Image:ShadowAcademyLogo.jpg|170px|left|thumb]]Mejas's development at the [[Shadow Academy]] on Aurora Prime, went exactly as the Dark Jedi of Clan Naga Sadow had hoped. His physical abilities were honed and perfected, building upon the basic skills his family had provided him and pushing himself further and further ahead of the majority of his peers. Even the much sought after break through in the use of the Dark Side of the Force occurred, and Mejas was quickly perfecting his combination of all skills in unison.

Having reached the rank of [[Acolyte]], Mejas was soon to be confirmed, by Headmaster Kumba, as a Guardian of House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow. In order for this confirmation to go ahead, the graduating students were called forth to put on a display of their new skills. They were instructed to defend the centre ground of the arena from the oncoming attack of a squadron of battle droids. The Headmaster was of course present to decide upon the student’s progress as was the [[First Archon]], Lord [[Chi-Long]] who had presumably be invited by the Headmaster for the event. As the melee started the seven Acolytes protected their terrain as instructed and displayed the exemplary combination of skills need for a [[Guardian]]. However, as the last droid was destroyed, Mejas Doto did not lower his training sabre like the others, he continued his assault, decapitating two students and severing another in half.

Headmaster Kumba was forced to intervene before any others were killed and he proceeded to assault the student telekinetically. Awakening in agony and in the custody of the First Archon of the [[Chamber of Justice]], Mejas Doto was demoted to [[Apprentice]] and informed that it was only with the grace and favor of Headmaster Kumba that he had avoided execution. The First Archon commanded the Zabrak not to be as foolish again as even the visceral nature of the Headmaster could not be disrespected more than once. For the first time Mejas accepted his instruction. This First Archon was a Dark Jedi of great integrity and power, Mejas could feel it and little did he know how important this Dark Jedi would be in his career.

After demotion Mejas quickly progressed through the ranks for a second time. His plan had worked and he had survived Kumba’s wrath in order to secure further training from the Shadow Academy. Upon his return to Loki, Mejas would be nearly ready enough to exact his vengeance. Clan Naga Sadow would pay for their treatment of the Zabrak.

=== Movement Between the Clans ===
Returning to House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow as a powerful Guardian, Mejas quickly established himself within the House. He was appointed Lore Master and Roll Master before being appointed [[Tetrarch]] of the revered [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. With the growing powers and influence of Mejas Doto the House Quaestor continued his promotions and Mejas became one of the fastest trained [[Dark Jedi Knight]]s in the history of the Brotherhood – even with his previous demotions. With new mastery of the Dark Side powers and his first version of the [[Mejas Doto#Weaponry|Bloodfang]] [[Lightsaber|lightsaber]] constructed, Mejas knew he was ready to exact his revenge.

It was during a mission with House Marka Ragnos that he again turned against his superiors and massacred friend and foe alike. The brethren of Marka Ragnos were culled the same as the Noghri enemies. The House was severely damaged; Trevarus Caerick was made to look a fool in front of his Clansmen and the Night Hawks Phyle turned their back on the treacherous act of their leader. Mejas was expelled from the Clan instantly and deported to [[House Ektrosis]] of [[Taldryan]] where his chaotic, callous sense of being was felt to be”’’more fitting’’”.

[[Image:Taldryan.png|right|thumb|The Clan Taldryan crest.]]In House Ektrosis, Mejas once again, managed to attain a multitude of positions and establish his abilities quickly. Quaestor [[Alanna]] took the tumultuous character under her tutelage and managed to stabilize the Zabrak’s erratic behavior… at least until her resignation. Another figure who supported Mejas’s development was the Clan [[Proconsul]], [[Grand Master]] [[Jac Cotelin]]. Both figures were extremely important in Mejas’s tenure within Taldryan, but as they faded out of the life of the Clan, so did their hold on Mejas’s behaviour.

Mejas should have been appointed Quaestoras both Alanna and [[Aedile]] Aseret Thunderhawk stepped down from their positions. His influence and work ethic within Ektrosis has been unrivaled and the amount of knowledge inculcated from the summit was enough to make him ready to lead. However, [[Consul]] Telaris “Mav” Cantor decided against this appointment and Mejas was forced into exile as the decision denied him any honor after his work for the Clan was ignored so completely.

Ordered to attend a meeting with [[Krath High Priest]] Arania Lawakiro, Mejas was instructed to take up stead in [[House Qel-Droma]] of Clan Arcona. From here Arania believed that Mejas could secure leadership of the stagnant House from Quaestor Alex and Aedile [[Voranyen d'Tana-Arconae|Voranyen d`Tana]]. True enough, the High Priest had scryed successfully and before long the House was revitalized and under the leadership of Mejas Doto. Under this leadership Mejas, the [[Star Chamber]] conferred the title of First House of the [[Krath]], to House Qel-Droma of Arcona, for their successful exploits on K’hamar’a in project “Minds of Hate”.

With stability provided to Qel-Droma and a solid membership of powerful brethren, Mejas finally turned his focus to the area of the Brotherhood where the most powerful members were located, the Dark Council. He realized his goal and sought work as [[Magistrate]] to many of the Councilors. Eventually, Headmaster Shups appointed Mejas as Magistrate and then [[Praetor]]. Mejas felt his path to the Dark Council secured, but alas, Grand Master Chi-Long felt that the Zabrak's leadership experience was too limited, and so he was overlooked for Headmaster when [[Dark Jedi Master]] Shups retired. Instead J`lek Arcanos was appointed Headmaster while Mejas provided support as Praetor.

However, it was well known that Mejas provided more than support and was in fact running the office of the Headmaster while J`Lek Arcanos succumbed to the new powers of the Dark Side that were made readily available to him as the head of the Shadow Academy. Such weakness sickened the Zabrak and his contempt for his superior grew, to the point where J`Lek Arcanos was but the puppet to Mejas's commands. For the good of the Brotherhood, the office of the Headmaster had to be protected and it had to be held by a Dark Jedi who could manage the great responsibilities. Mejas Doto felt that he was only a step away from securing this position.
 

=== Appointment to the Dark Council ===
[[Image:Picture-emblem1.jpg|135px|left|thumb]]Realizing his route to office would be opened up sooner than later, Mejas accepted his appointment as Consul of [[Clan Satal Keto]] in attempt to prove to Grand Master Chi-Long that he could lead at the very top end of the Brotherhood. The Zabrak's plans unfurled to deliver exactly what he wanted and within months he had secured the office of Headmaster of the Shadow Academy on Aurora Prime.

The office provided Mejas with opprotunities that were unavailable to him before and as he rose to the rank of [[Dark Side Adept]] his control of the Dark Side of the Force grew exponentially in a very short period of time. He was also honored by the Council with a [[Sapphire Blade]] and the much coveted [[Ruby Scepter]]. These awards reflect the restructuring of the Shadow Academy into the footprint of what it has now grown into. Co-ordinating with the Order Leaders, Mejas managed to implement an array of new courses into the [[Shadow Academy]] for the first time. These included, general courses such as the DSC studies and the leadership studies along with the first Krath Order studies into poetry, run-on writing and grammar. A new system was installed on Aurora Prime with the assistance of [[Seneschal]] Grail to help manage the learning, teaching and awarding of the Shadow Academy courses and the office of the Headmaster had procured its most stable holder since Headmaster Kumba.

=== Shattered Dreams and Broken Promises ===
Grand Master Chi-Long was a Grand Master of great vision who allowed his Council staff to develop and manage their affairs without micro-management. After Grand Master [[Zoraan]] he had shown himself as a true leader of the Dark Jedi, who walked amongst his brethren, reunited the Clans and lead from the front. His tenure as Grand Master allowed creativity amongst the offices and the Dark Council were loyal, true and focused on their Brotherhood. But the pressures of the Emperor's Hammer Command Fleet lead to Chi-Long's resignation.

Executive Officer Astatine feared the Brotherhood for their strength, individuality and their resistance to Imperial indoctrination. Manipulating the appointment of [[Sith High Warrior]] [[Firefox]] to Grand Master and maneuvering himself to reclaim his former position as [[Deputy Grand Master]], Astatine, and the Fleet Commander Ronin, had crushed the heart of the Brotherhood and tightened their iron grip. One of the many to fall foul of these developments was Mejas Doto.
[[Image:IronThrone.jpg|150px|right|thumb|The [[Iron Throne]].]]

Having worked successfully as Headmaster the Zabrak was now met with ridiculous demands from a Deputy Grand Master who feared the success of the reformed Shadow Academy and felt its pinch on his own Imperial Weapons and Tactics School (IWATS). Taking his concerns to Grand Master Firefox, Mejas was assured his work was not going unnoticed and his position on the Council was secure. Firefox even informed the Zabrak that his promotion to Dark Jedi Master was only weeks away for his work, all he had to do was complete Astatine's latest request.

Mejas accepted his new Grand Master's words and completed the task as requested. However, instead of ascending further down the route of the [[Elder]]s, Mejas was forced into direct conflict with the Deputy Grand Master Astatine, resulting in a battle where both Dark Jedi nearly died. Astatine was brought before the High Inquisitor [[Jedgar O. Paladin]] and forced into an exile from Aurora Prime for the period of a month. However, his ultimate humiliation had been what he needed most and as he publicly apologized for his conduct, he also announced the removal of Mejas Doto from office and informed the Brotherhood he would not be appointed to any leadership position higher than Aedile for the coming future...

Devastated by the treachery of his own supposed leaders, especially the silence of the Iron Throne, Mejas went into exile, his whereabouts for this exile still unknown to this day, although it is often speculated that the Zabrak journeyed to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ralltiir Ralltiir] to take the counsel at the bequest of Dark Jedi Master [[Kaine Mandaala]].
 

=== Herald Mandaala ===
[[Image:Kaine_mandaala_5.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Herald Kaine Archon Mandaala, the longest serving Dark Council member in the history of the Dark Brotherhood and the only "friend" Mejas Doto ever had.]]Herald Kaine Mandaala was the longest serving Dark Council member at the time of Mejas's removal from the office of Headmaster. He was a Dark Jedi of incredible importance to the Brotherhood, and with his position and time spent as an Elder of the Brotherhood he was always looked upon as adviser to the Iron Throne. It is known that Master Mandaala spoke out against [[Dark Prophet|Primarch]] Astatine's treatment of the Zabrak Adept and that he voiced his concerns over the loss of such a powerful Dark Jedi due to the Deputy Grand Master's fear of the Zabrak's potential. However, such comments were ignored and the Dark Council continued as normal.

In exile, it can only be presumed that Kaine sought out Mejas, or the Zabrak heard about the Herald's defense and returned to him. As stated previously, this is still unknown, however, a great, deep and long lasting bond was formed between the two Elders and after the Brotherhood had settled from Astatine's string of maltreatment, Mejas Doto returned as Magistrate to the Herald, much to the annoyance of many on the Dark Council.

Within months he had returned to his very beginnings in House Marka Ragnos and was once again appointed Tetrarch of the Night Hawks Phyle. At this point Astatine again informed the Clan summit and the Dark Adept that he could not rise above this position, and while the Deputy Grand Master was fooled into believing this was the case, Mejas had taken an active role in developing Proconsul [[Xanos Sadow|Xanos Zorrixor Goatham]]'s operations and was working with summits throughout the galaxy as a support aide - abeit unofficially!

With time the grip of the Emperor's Hammer loosened and the Brotherhood regained full control of it's own affairs. Mejas was awarded Sapphire Blade's and Emerald Dagger's for his work throughout the Brotherhood and eventually forced his way back into the office of Quaestor for both [[House Acclivis Draco]] and House Qel-Droma. Alongside these developments on a local level, Mejas was appointed Praetor to the Herald's office and lead in the creation and archiving of the [[Grant of Arms]] of the Brotherhood members. Astatine had been a fool if he believed that he could quell the drive of the Zabrak Adept. Astatine had been a fool if he thought the Brotherhood would forget how he abused her.

=== The Exodus ===
[[Image:Implogo.png|thumb|100px|right]]The alliance with the Emperor's Hammer could no longer be tolerated by the majority of the Clans or the Dark Council, and for this reason, the [[Exodus]] occurred. During this reformation, the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and the Emperor's Hammer affiliation was abandoned, along with everything else in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Minos_Cluster Minos Cluster]. Within days the Brotherhood had pulled all its brethren, all its resources and had slaughtered those who refused to secede to the [[Antei]] system with them. Astatine's forces were left decimated, humiliated and powerless. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], however, had secured its independence and within days the rejuvenation of the Brotherhood was in full flow.
 
 

=== The 13th Consul of Clan Arcona ===
[[Image:ArconaLogoMD.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|The adopted Clan Arcona logo during Mejas Doto's reign as Consul.]]Within weeks of the Exodus many changes were made to the summits throughout the Brotherhood. Some had been slaughtered for their allegiance to the Hammer, others had sacrificed themselves so that the Clansmen could make it to the Antei system without EH interference. Many were lost and whole Clan's abandoned. In Arcona, Telaris "Mav" Cantor, the newly appointed [[Emissary]], had been appointed interim [[Consul]] and with the full support of Mejas Doto and the other House summits, the Clan searched the systems near Antei so they could base themselves and begin restructuring the Clan. Awaiting announcement of who the new Clan Consul would be, it is rumored that the Zabrak "encouraged" the new Emissary not to overlook him a second time for appointment. It was well known that Mejas was a Dark Jedi who wielded even greater powers than the Emissary, however, few doubted he was the right man for the job and soon he was appointed Consul of Clan Arcona.

The initial appointment of the new Consul began with in true Zabrak fashion - Mejas lead the Clan into a war. A feud against Clan Satal Keto quickly arose when Consul Gord Darkonian had tried to trick the new [[Arcona]]n [[Consul]] into giving up the vital resources in a system that both Clans had discovered. However, the Dark Adept Consul saw straight through the tricks and both Clans battled hard for the victory. In the end, Gord Darkonian's ability to manipulate the Dark Council into awarding the depleted Satal Keto the victory gave Arcona the bitter taste of Brotherhood politics. However, both Clans were awarded a variety of ships and artifacts for their troubles - believed to be suggested by the Lords of the Vendetta, the [[Star Chamber]] themselves.

With the war over, Arcona finally settled in the [[Dajorra]] system. Mejas, with his first Proconsul Voranyen d`Tana, were quick to take charge of the system with little to no resistance from the native people. It is Selenians have welcomed their Dark Jedi Master's as God's of their ancient beliefs. With no resistance and the direct rule of the "Doto Doctrine", the system was one of the first to be named as "''fully functional''" by the Dark Council.

=== Shadow Crafting ===
Working as Consul and providing Arcona with stability, security, leadership and action, Mejas was hailed as a successful, astute and extremely practical Clan Consul. The brethren of Arcona respected his authority and the members outside the Clan feared his wrath. As Consul of Arcona on the newly discovered Dajorra system, Mejas exploited his position to seek out and research the most powerful texts, holocrons and artifacts available to him. The Selenian leaders themselves provided the Clan with their most coveted possession, the [[Abyssal Tome]].

[[Image:ArconaAbyssalTome.jpg|150px|left|thumb|The Abyssal Tome.]]The Tome was a gateway into the native Selenian skill of "''Shadow Crafting''", a form of primordial magic that allowed the Selenian Shadow Weavers to control, manipulate and co-exist with the shadow realm. The Selenian displays enthralled Mejas and after long discussion with his second Proconsul, [[JaM3z Lucius Entar]], Mejas passed on more responsibilities to his subordinate and ordered that all Shadow Weavers were to exist as his own personal Adepts for months of intimate training, secluded from the rest of the Clan. The Selenians taught the Zabrak the basic skills required to Shadow Craft, but with the ability to call upon the dark side of the Force, Mejas mastered the most powerful of the Selenian abilities within the initial months of his training.

Unlocking the Abyssal Tome and combining the teachings within the text, with his mastery of the Dark Side, lead to the untimely death of all the Selenian shadow weavers. During some explorative Shadow Crafting the Selenian's pleaded for their Master to take things slower, and not to rush his experiences within the Shadow Realm. However, the ever tempestuous Zabrak only fought against such requests and somehow opened a doorway into the Shadow plane itself. All those unable to control such raw, primordial energies were consumed by the great void. Mejas himself was greatly shaken by the experience. Never had he felt such total power as he had during this incident.

Although drained from the experience, the Zabrak focused his research on the Abyssal Tome and soon mastered the transition between the two planes of existence. From this day forth, his position as Consul came second to his position as Shadow Master.

=== Purgatory ===
With Mejas's powers growing he soon returned to his role as Consul, trying to balance his lust for Shadow Mastery, with his love for Arcona. However, it could not be and the Zabrak grew so consumed and seduced by the Abyssal Tome that he again distanced himself from the rest of the Clan. [[Krath Pontifex]] JaMez Lucius Entar continued running Arcona, and protected his Consul from scrutiny as long as he could. But with time, the Dark Council intervened. They were sending a Council member to evaluate the Zabrak's proficiency as Consul, due to his persistent inability to communicate or meet with the Emissary, the Deputy Grand Master or the Order Leaders. In effect, they were coming to remove the Zabrak from office.

It turned out that Master Kaine Mandaala arrived to Selen on one of his few trips from Raltiir. The brethren of Arcona, and presumably the Dark Council, knew of the Zabraks kinship with the Brotherhood Herald and hoped that situation would be handled competently and most of all, peacefully. However it was not to be so. While no member witnessed the events first hand, nor have either Dark Jedi spoken of it since, the sound and sparks within the Force were impossible to ignore, a confrontation of some kind had occurred.

Departing from the meeting Kaine Mandaala spoke to nobody and returned to Raltiir. Even the Dark Council were pressing the Arconan summit leaders for answers - presumably as their Herald had provided none. But within the day all questions were answered. Mejas Doto convened his Clan in the Arconan "''Great Hall of Shadows''" and conferenced with leaders throughout the galaxy. He spoke at length for his devotion and lust for Arcona before announcing his retirement, appointing JaM3z as Consul of the Clan and promising his "''Children of Chaos''" that he would be forever watching over them from the shadows. The most legendary part of the Zabrak's speech, however, was the ending. Mejas spoke of himself as the "''Guardian of Arcona''", before bowing out to his brethren and dissipating into fine tendrils of shadowy sinnue. These tendrils twisted and twirled around where he stood, before merging into the great blackness of the shadow filled roof. Mejas Doto was gone.

Some believe he is stuck in the shadow plane, while others believe he resides there through choice. Many members of the Dark Council denounce the Dark Jedi Master's ability to perform such an act whilst others still claim to have seen the Zabrak Master all throughout the Brotherhood systems. Most disturbingly of all, however, is the fact that Clan Arcona refuse to comment on the Consul Emeritus. Perhaps this speaks for itself...

=== The 22nd Consul of Clan Arcona ===
27 ABY everything suddenly changed. The "Guardian of Arcona" has returned to Dajorra, his presence felt by all. With the galactic invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, Mejas Doto played his part in the great clash. Ultimately though, the Brotherhood lost and with that loss Arcona came of one of the worst. Timeros Caesus Entar disappeared after the critical losses his Clan sustained and Proconsul Strategos could do little to circumvent the disaster. When the dust settled, the Clan was left broken and leaderless and Mejas then declared himself open to return as the Clan Consul; an invitation that Grand Master [[Sarin]] pounced upon.

There is much to be rebuilt if there is any chance of Arcona to return to her former glory under Mejas' rule as the 13th Consul. However, the new fleet has already been amassed and restructuring within the Clan is underway. The Shadow Master has openly declared to the Brotherhood that is Arcona is undergoing a "Resurrection". Only time will tell how successful this will be...

'''Bloodfang'''
[[Image:BloodfangWiki.jpg|left|thumb|Image of Mejas Doto's dual lightsaber.]]
When promoted to Krath Archpriest, Mejas Doto was provided many more oppertunities to excel in the Brotherhood. He was appointed Consul of, the now disbanded, Satal Keto, he was also appointed Praetor to Headmaster Shups, however, surpassing all of these oppertunities, was the Brotherhod's recognition and acceptance that Mejas Doto was now permitted the use of a dual lightsaber.

Having waited for this momentous day, the Zabrak begin the construction of one the most renowned sabres in Brotherhood history. Almost as fabled in Clan Arcona as Ulic Qel-Droma's own lightsaber, there are few in the Brotherhood, let alone Arcona, who have not heard the tales of ''Bloodfang''. The design was inspired by Ulic's own [[Lightsabers|lightsaber]], but elongated, with the ability to be halved and used as dual sabres. The emmitter aesthetic is derived from the sharpened teeth of Mejas Doto. Completely constructed from lightweight alloys, with a balance for her user like few have managed to achieve - ''Bloodfang'' is a weapon equal in both beauty and destructive power. In the hands of her owner, she has slain many an adversary and not always in the most orthodox of manners. It is well known, that when possible, Mejas Doto prefers the use of the teeth like emmitters for laceration, puncture and evisceartion.

[[Image:BloodfangSHIP.gif|right|thumb|Image of the Modified Lancer Class Frigate named after Mejas Doto's dual lightsaber.]] It should also be noted that Mejas Doto's affection and bond with his lightsaber have even been commemerated in the Arconan fleet. This was after a [[Great Jedi War]] when the Clan were awarded, among other ships, a Modified Lancer Class Frigate, which the then-Consul named "''Bloodfang''".

== Titles and Possessions ==

=== Clan Title ===
Mejas Doto is the first Arconan to be awarded the Clan title, due to his work as Consul and longterm Clan member. After conflict with Emissary [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow|Tron Sadow]], Mejas rebuked the format the Clan title would take and refused to adopt Arconae as his surname. Because of this, Arconan's may choose to use their title in the following format: Mejas Doto, di Tenebrous Arconae.
Mejas has since adopted the full title "Mejas Doto, di Primus Tenebrous Arconae" to reflect his appointment as the first of the Arconae.

=== Shadow Mastery ===
Mejas Doto was the first Arconan to attain full understanding of the Abyssal Tome and from this he has reached the pinnacle that is Shadow Mastery. His complete dedication to the Ways of Shadowcrafting lead to his resignation as Consul of Clan Arcona and effective retiral as a member of the Dark Brotherhood. It is believed by many that Mejas felt that the only way of attaining the position as a Dark Prophet, was to combine his knowledge of the Dark Side with the very darkness of the shadows. At this point his corporeal existence wanes in and out of being.

Arconan's have commented that the former Consul has become so heavily intertwined with the ethereal plane of the Shadows that he is believed to exist for longer and longer periods of time in this alternative plane. The Arconan official stance on Mejas's Shadowcrafting powers state that he is a Shadow Master, capable of two of the Abyssal Rites. These are ''Banishment'' and ''Summon the Abyss''; however - it is well known that the Dark Jedi Master has surpassed such limitations and his ability to ''Shadow Walk'' and conduit between planes are examples of his continuing prowess and unmatched ability.

=== Tarentum Estate ===
Mejas Doto was granted an estate on the [[Clan Tarentum|Tarentum]] planet of [[Yridia IV]] after a secret pact with former Consul [[Sith Bloodfyre]]. The exact details of this arangement are unknown to any others in the Brotherhood and Mejas has been afforded full immunity when using the estate on Yridia IV. The estate itself is not visibe from the exterior of the planet and no knowledge of what is contained in the estate, or what it is used for, is available.

=== "Guardian of Arcona" ===
Upon retiring from the office of Consul, Mejas Doto remained ever watchful of his Clan. He is frequently called upon as an advisor to the summits and remains aware of the ebb and flow of Arcona's path. He has also stood against the summit and the Dark Council when the Clans interests are being overlooked by those who are afforded its charge. For this reason, Mejas Doto often refers to himself as the "''Guardian of Arcona''". It later transpired that with the Clan in need, Mejas returned to the Dajorra system and was formally appointed as the Guardian of Arcona, as an Elder and unofficial 3rd member of the Clan summit.

=== "Lord High Justice of the Doctrine" ===
When Mejas resigned from Consul the Dajorra system reacted badly to their leaders departure. Although Proconsul JaM3z was a strong and capable leader, fractures splintered the discipline and faith of both Dark Jedi Arconan's and the other inhabitants of the Dajorra system. As leaders changed new methods of rule were sought out, but none could gain control of the system as effectively or completely as the Doto Doctrine. Realising the escalating troubles within the Dajorra system and wanting to protect Arcona from interference from the Chamber of Justcie or other Dark Council bodies, Mejas returned to aide Consul JaM3z in re-establishing totalitarian rule of the system. Annointing himself as "Lord High Justice of the Doctrine", the former Consul reinforced the brutal regime, known as the Doto Doctrine, which instantly wrested full control back to the Clan summit. Following Mejas's departure into the Shadow Realm, a body of Doctrinal Fiscals were established throughout the system and while the day to day judicial system is managed in conjunction with the Clan summit, Mejas retains full control of the systems laws through his role as Lord High Justice of the Doctrine.
 

== Trivia ==
Did you know that...
*Mejas Doto was taken before the Chamber of Justice when he was a Guardian and demoted back to an Apprentice for cheating in Shadow Academy exams via IRC. How ironic he would later be the leader of the faculty he tried to dupe!
*Mejas Doto created the Ektrosian artefact "The Orb of Pomojema" back when he was a Jedi Hunter in Ektrosis.
*Mejas Doto was responsible for having Ass-tatine banned from IRC, after requesting the support of two long time friends (and fortunately High Court Inquisitors!) Trevarus Caerick and Chi-Long.
*Mejas Doto created the original Crescent and Star of Eos images for the website and Dark Side Compendium.
*Mejas Doto originally wanted to name the new Arconan system as Labia Majora, with one of the system moons/planets taking the name Labia Minora. However, after a lengthy discussion with his Proconsul, Voranyen, the name Dajorra was adopted (D from Doto and ajorra used as a variant of Majora). Mejas and Voranyen were also responsible for naming the rest of the system.
*During the exodus, Proconsul Voranyen named the site of the new Clan headquarters, on Selen, "Doto Rock". This was in homage to Consul Mejas Doto - even although it is widely known that the area isn't very rocky!
*Mejas Doto is the channel manager for #arcona on IRC
*Mejas Doto is the weilder of the infamous "Doto Doctrine", a channel control policy unparalleled throughout the Brotherhood IRC network for it's brutality and totalitarian grip.
*Mejas Doto always refers to Malik Sadow as "Manlik".
*Mejas Doto is one of the few non-Tarenti (members of Tarentum) allowed past Yridia IX on his personal craft. Others include GM [[Chi-Long]], GM [[Justinian Khyron]] and DJM [[Trevarus Caerick]].
*Mejas Doto was once defeated at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, by Korax and [[Chi-Long]] whilst visiting Canada!
*Mejas Doto once earnt a CF for defeating Timeros Caesus Entar at rock, paper, scissors whilst visiting Amsterdam!
*Mejas Doto designed and implemented the heraldic shields of the Justicar's office. This originally started with [[Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor|Yacko]]'s competition, but was further fleshed out during [[Kir Katarn]]'s tenure as Justicar. All three post-exodus Justicar's (DJM Yacko, GM Firefox and DJM Kir) have had their crests created by Mejas.
*Mejas Doto is one of the first Dark Jedi to have his own smilie created: [[Image:mejas-smilie.gif]]

Mejasdoto: Some minor changes to intro blurb. Thoroughly checked using the "SHOW PREVIEW" button! - Mejas Doto

{{Eras|featured}}
Mejas Doto is a solitary, hate filled figure who is as equally revered throughout [[Clan Arcona]] as he is feared outside of the Dajorra system. One of the most highly decorated and powerful Dark Jedi in the Brotherhood, the Shadow Lord is reknowned for his ferocity in battle, his malice towards all those he considers unworthy and his general lack of adherance to protocol, etiquette and rules.

== Character History ==
=== The Beginning ===
[[Image:MejasFather.jpg|150px|left|thumb|A supposed image of Mejas Doto's father.]]Born on an unknown planet in the Outer Rim nineteen years before the Battle of Yavin, Mejas Doto was the son of two Zabrak; one a Bounty Hunter and the other a Mercenary. The couple were believed to be native to Iridonia but little to nothing is known about their existence. It has been suggested that Mejas was raised in the criminal underworld as an accomplice to his parents; some have implied that the child’s father must have been Force sensitive in order to begin Mejas’s training from an early age and helped nurture such a powerful Force user. However, there is no existing evidence to support either of these claims and Mejas Doto himself has never discussed his upbringing. It can only be presumed that the childhood of the Zabrak holds some explanation to his current character, as he is even more deeply brutal, aggressive and solitary than others of his species.

=== Induction into the Brotherhood ===
[[Image:Loki.jpg|100px|right|thumb|The planet Loki with its moon Hodr.]]On Loki in the [[Phare System]], [[House Marka Ragnos]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] had based their stronghold during the years of alliance with the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. It was here that Mejas was sold by the Trandoshan mercenary Zassk. The [[Clan]] summit, in a bid to revitalize their numbers and find the future of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], had provided a variety of mercenaries (Zassk being one of them) with the task of locating any Force sensitive users and bringing them to Loki for their “initial assessments”. No questions were asked by the contractor’s and the mercenaries couldn’t care either way. The story behind Mejas’s separation from his parents, to this date, is still unknown.

Upon arriving on Loki the stolen Zabrak was resolute, silent and controlled. He had no communication with his peers and when approached was so vicious in his assaults that soon nobody pressed Mejas for anything. During training he stood out amongst all others for his physical prowess, fighting skills and callous nature. However, his control of the Force was poor due to his inability to focus, remain patient and learn to harness his skills. This was almost his undoing as the Dark Jedi of Clan Naga Sadow only wanted the “students” who could prove themselves capable across all areas. Fortunately, the [[House|House's]] [[Quaestor]] at the time, [[Trevarus Caerick]], reviewed the students prior to their selection for execution or [[Shadow Academy]] training. He over ruled the training master, commenting that “''such primal hatred should never be dismissed so easily.''”

And so, Mejas was afforded the opportunity to train at the Shadow Academy under [[Headmaster]] [[Kumba]], as long as he agreed to return to Marka Ragnos upon his appointment to the rank of [[Guardian]]. The young Zabrak agreed – not for the sake of compliance or through fear or respect, but because he awaited the day when he could return to Loki and exact his vengeance upon all those who felt they controlled his destiny.

=== Infamy from the Start ===
[[Image:ShadowAcademyLogo.jpg|170px|left|thumb]]Mejas's development at the [[Shadow Academy]] on Aurora Prime, went exactly as the Dark Jedi of Clan Naga Sadow had hoped. His physical abilities were honed and perfected, building upon the basic skills his family had provided him and pushing himself further and further ahead of the majority of his peers. Even the much sought after break through in the use of the Dark Side of the Force occurred, and Mejas was quickly perfecting his combination of all skills in unison.

Having reached the rank of [[Acolyte]], Mejas was soon to be confirmed, by Headmaster Kumba, as a Guardian of House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow. In order for this confirmation to go ahead, the graduating students were called forth to put on a display of their new skills. They were instructed to defend the centre ground of the arena from the oncoming attack of a squadron of battle droids. The Headmaster was of course present to decide upon the student’s progress as was the [[First Archon]], Lord [[Chi-Long]] who had presumably be invited by the Headmaster for the event. As the melee started the seven Acolytes protected their terrain as instructed and displayed the exemplary combination of skills need for a [[Guardian]]. However, as the last droid was destroyed, Mejas Doto did not lower his training sabre like the others, he continued his assault, decapitating two students and severing another in half.

Headmaster Kumba was forced to intervene before any others were killed and he proceeded to assault the student telekinetically. Awakening in agony and in the custody of the First Archon of the [[Chamber of Justice]], Mejas Doto was demoted to [[Apprentice]] and informed that it was only with the grace and favor of Headmaster Kumba that he had avoided execution. The First Archon commanded the Zabrak not to be as foolish again as even the visceral nature of the Headmaster could not be disrespected more than once. For the first time Mejas accepted his instruction. This First Archon was a Dark Jedi of great integrity and power, Mejas could feel it and little did he know how important this Dark Jedi would be in his career.

After demotion Mejas quickly progressed through the ranks for a second time. His plan had worked and he had survived Kumba’s wrath in order to secure further training from the Shadow Academy. Upon his return to Loki, Mejas would be nearly ready enough to exact his vengeance. Clan Naga Sadow would pay for their treatment of the Zabrak.

=== Movement Between the Clans ===
Returning to House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow as a powerful Guardian, Mejas quickly established himself within the House. He was appointed Lore Master and Roll Master before being appointed [[Tetrarch]] of the revered [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. With the growing powers and influence of Mejas Doto the House Quaestor continued his promotions and Mejas became one of the fastest trained [[Dark Jedi Knight]]s in the history of the Brotherhood – even with his previous demotions. With new mastery of the Dark Side powers and his first version of the [[Mejas Doto#Weaponry|Bloodfang]] [[Lightsaber|lightsaber]] constructed, Mejas knew he was ready to exact his revenge.

It was during a mission with House Marka Ragnos that he again turned against his superiors and massacred friend and foe alike. The brethren of Marka Ragnos were culled the same as the Noghri enemies. The House was severely damaged; Trevarus Caerick was made to look a fool in front of his Clansmen and the Night Hawks Phyle turned their back on the treacherous act of their leader. Mejas was expelled from the Clan instantly and deported to [[House Ektrosis]] of [[Taldryan]] where his chaotic, callous sense of being was felt to be”’’more fitting’’”.

[[Image:Taldryan.png|right|thumb|The Clan Taldryan crest.]]In House Ektrosis, Mejas once again, managed to attain a multitude of positions and establish his abilities quickly. Quaestor [[Alanna]] took the tumultuous character under her tutelage and managed to stabilize the Zabrak’s erratic behavior… at least until her resignation. Another figure who supported Mejas’s development was the Clan [[Proconsul]], [[Grand Master]] [[Jac Cotelin]]. Both figures were extremely important in Mejas’s tenure within Taldryan, but as they faded out of the life of the Clan, so did their hold on Mejas’s behaviour.

Mejas should have been appointed Quaestoras both Alanna and [[Aedile]] Aseret Thunderhawk stepped down from their positions. His influence and work ethic within Ektrosis has been unrivaled and the amount of knowledge inculcated from the summit was enough to make him ready to lead. However, [[Consul]] Telaris “Mav” Cantor decided against this appointment and Mejas was forced into exile as the decision denied him any honor after his work for the Clan was ignored so completely.

Ordered to attend a meeting with [[Krath High Priest]] Arania Lawakiro, Mejas was instructed to take up stead in [[House Qel-Droma]] of Clan Arcona. From here Arania believed that Mejas could secure leadership of the stagnant House from Quaestor Alex and Aedile [[Voranyen d'Tana-Arconae|Voranyen d`Tana]]. True enough, the High Priest had scryed successfully and before long the House was revitalized and under the leadership of Mejas Doto. Under this leadership Mejas, the [[Star Chamber]] conferred the title of First House of the [[Krath]], to House Qel-Droma of Arcona, for their successful exploits on K’hamar’a in project “Minds of Hate”.

With stability provided to Qel-Droma and a solid membership of powerful brethren, Mejas finally turned his focus to the area of the Brotherhood where the most powerful members were located, the Dark Council. He realized his goal and sought work as [[Magistrate]] to many of the Councilors. Eventually, Headmaster Shups appointed Mejas as Magistrate and then [[Praetor]]. Mejas felt his path to the Dark Council secured, but alas, Grand Master Chi-Long felt that the Zabrak's leadership experience was too limited, and so he was overlooked for Headmaster when [[Dark Jedi Master]] Shups retired. Instead J`lek Arcanos was appointed Headmaster while Mejas provided support as Praetor.

However, it was well known that Mejas provided more than support and was in fact running the office of the Headmaster while J`Lek Arcanos succumbed to the new powers of the Dark Side that were made readily available to him as the head of the Shadow Academy. Such weakness sickened the Zabrak and his contempt for his superior grew, to the point where J`Lek Arcanos was but the puppet to Mejas's commands. For the good of the Brotherhood, the office of the Headmaster had to be protected and it had to be held by a Dark Jedi who could manage the great responsibilities. Mejas Doto felt that he was only a step away from securing this position.
 

=== Appointment to the Dark Council ===
[[Image:Picture-emblem1.jpg|135px|left|thumb]]Realizing his route to office would be opened up sooner than later, Mejas accepted his appointment as Consul of [[Clan Satal Keto]] in attempt to prove to Grand Master Chi-Long that he could lead at the very top end of the Brotherhood. The Zabrak's plans unfurled to deliver exactly what he wanted and within months he had secured the office of Headmaster of the Shadow Academy on Aurora Prime.

The office provided Mejas with opprotunities that were unavailable to him before and as he rose to the rank of [[Dark Side Adept]] his control of the Dark Side of the Force grew exponentially in a very short period of time. He was also honored by the Council with a [[Sapphire Blade]] and the much coveted [[Ruby Scepter]]. These awards reflect the restructuring of the Shadow Academy into the footprint of what it has now grown into. Co-ordinating with the Order Leaders, Mejas managed to implement an array of new courses into the [[Shadow Academy]] for the first time. These included, general courses such as the DSC studies and the leadership studies along with the first Krath Order studies into poetry, run-on writing and grammar. A new system was installed on Aurora Prime with the assistance of [[Seneschal]] Grail to help manage the learning, teaching and awarding of the Shadow Academy courses and the office of the Headmaster had procured its most stable holder since Headmaster Kumba.

=== Shattered Dreams and Broken Promises ===
Grand Master Chi-Long was a Grand Master of great vision who allowed his Council staff to develop and manage their affairs without micro-management. After Grand Master [[Zoraan]] he had shown himself as a true leader of the Dark Jedi, who walked amongst his brethren, reunited the Clans and lead from the front. His tenure as Grand Master allowed creativity amongst the offices and the Dark Council were loyal, true and focused on their Brotherhood. But the pressures of the Emperor's Hammer Command Fleet lead to Chi-Long's resignation.

Executive Officer Astatine feared the Brotherhood for their strength, individuality and their resistance to Imperial indoctrination. Manipulating the appointment of [[Sith High Warrior]] [[Firefox]] to Grand Master and maneuvering himself to reclaim his former position as [[Deputy Grand Master]], Astatine, and the Fleet Commander Ronin, had crushed the heart of the Brotherhood and tightened their iron grip. One of the many to fall foul of these developments was Mejas Doto.
[[Image:IronThrone.jpg|150px|right|thumb|The [[Iron Throne]].]]

Having worked successfully as Headmaster the Zabrak was now met with ridiculous demands from a Deputy Grand Master who feared the success of the reformed Shadow Academy and felt its pinch on his own Imperial Weapons and Tactics School (IWATS). Taking his concerns to Grand Master Firefox, Mejas was assured his work was not going unnoticed and his position on the Council was secure. Firefox even informed the Zabrak that his promotion to Dark Jedi Master was only weeks away for his work, all he had to do was complete Astatine's latest request.

Mejas accepted his new Grand Master's words and completed the task as requested. However, instead of ascending further down the route of the [[Elder]]s, Mejas was forced into direct conflict with the Deputy Grand Master Astatine, resulting in a battle where both Dark Jedi nearly died. Astatine was brought before the High Inquisitor [[Jedgar O. Paladin]] and forced into an exile from Aurora Prime for the period of a month. However, his ultimate humiliation had been what he needed most and as he publicly apologized for his conduct, he also announced the removal of Mejas Doto from office and informed the Brotherhood he would not be appointed to any leadership position higher than Aedile for the coming future...

Devastated by the treachery of his own supposed leaders, especially the silence of the Iron Throne, Mejas went into exile, his whereabouts for this exile still unknown to this day, although it is often speculated that the Zabrak journeyed to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ralltiir Ralltiir] to take the counsel at the bequest of Dark Jedi Master [[Kaine Mandaala]].
 

=== Herald Mandaala ===
[[Image:Kaine_mandaala_5.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Herald Kaine Archon Mandaala, the longest serving Dark Council member in the history of the Dark Brotherhood and the only "friend" Mejas Doto ever had.]]Herald Kaine Mandaala was the longest serving Dark Council member at the time of Mejas's removal from the office of Headmaster. He was a Dark Jedi of incredible importance to the Brotherhood, and with his position and time spent as an Elder of the Brotherhood he was always looked upon as adviser to the Iron Throne. It is known that Master Mandaala spoke out against [[Dark Prophet|Primarch]] Astatine's treatment of the Zabrak Adept and that he voiced his concerns over the loss of such a powerful Dark Jedi due to the Deputy Grand Master's fear of the Zabrak's potential. However, such comments were ignored and the Dark Council continued as normal.

In exile, it can only be presumed that Kaine sought out Mejas, or the Zabrak heard about the Herald's defense and returned to him. As stated previously, this is still unknown, however, a great, deep and long lasting bond was formed between the two Elders and after the Brotherhood had settled from Astatine's string of maltreatment, Mejas Doto returned as Magistrate to the Herald, much to the annoyance of many on the Dark Council.

Within months he had returned to his very beginnings in House Marka Ragnos and was once again appointed Tetrarch of the Night Hawks Phyle. At this point Astatine again informed the Clan summit and the Dark Adept that he could not rise above this position, and while the Deputy Grand Master was fooled into believing this was the case, Mejas had taken an active role in developing Proconsul [[Xanos Sadow|Xanos Zorrixor Goatham]]'s operations and was working with summits throughout the galaxy as a support aide - abeit unofficially!

With time the grip of the Emperor's Hammer loosened and the Brotherhood regained full control of it's own affairs. Mejas was awarded Sapphire Blade's and Emerald Dagger's for his work throughout the Brotherhood and eventually forced his way back into the office of Quaestor for both [[House Acclivis Draco]] and House Qel-Droma. Alongside these developments on a local level, Mejas was appointed Praetor to the Herald's office and lead in the creation and archiving of the [[Grant of Arms]] of the Brotherhood members. Astatine had been a fool if he believed that he could quell the drive of the Zabrak Adept. Astatine had been a fool if he thought the Brotherhood would forget how he abused her.

=== The Exodus ===
[[Image:Implogo.png|thumb|100px|right]]The alliance with the Emperor's Hammer could no longer be tolerated by the majority of the Clans or the Dark Council, and for this reason, the [[Exodus]] occurred. During this reformation, the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and the Emperor's Hammer affiliation was abandoned, along with everything else in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Minos_Cluster Minos Cluster]. Within days the Brotherhood had pulled all its brethren, all its resources and had slaughtered those who refused to secede to the [[Antei]] system with them. Astatine's forces were left decimated, humiliated and powerless. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], however, had secured its independence and within days the rejuvenation of the Brotherhood was in full flow.
 
 

=== The 13th Consul of Clan Arcona ===
[[Image:ArconaLogoMD.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|The adopted Clan Arcona logo during Mejas Doto's reign as Consul.]]Within weeks of the Exodus many changes were made to the summits throughout the Brotherhood. Some had been slaughtered for their allegiance to the Hammer, others had sacrificed themselves so that the Clansmen could make it to the Antei system without EH interference. Many were lost and whole Clan's abandoned. In Arcona, Telaris "Mav" Cantor, the newly appointed [[Emissary]], had been appointed interim [[Consul]] and with the full support of Mejas Doto and the other House summits, the Clan searched the systems near Antei so they could base themselves and begin restructuring the Clan. Awaiting announcement of who the new Clan Consul would be, it is rumored that the Zabrak "encouraged" the new Emissary not to overlook him a second time for appointment. It was well known that Mejas was a Dark Jedi who wielded even greater powers than the Emissary, however, few doubted he was the right man for the job and soon he was appointed Consul of Clan Arcona.

The initial appointment of the new Consul began with in true Zabrak fashion - Mejas lead the Clan into a war. A feud against Clan Satal Keto quickly arose when Consul Gord Darkonian had tried to trick the new [[Arcona]]n [[Consul]] into giving up the vital resources in a system that both Clans had discovered. However, the Dark Adept Consul saw straight through the tricks and both Clans battled hard for the victory. In the end, Gord Darkonian's ability to manipulate the Dark Council into awarding the depleted Satal Keto the victory gave Arcona the bitter taste of Brotherhood politics. However, both Clans were awarded a variety of ships and artifacts for their troubles - believed to be suggested by the Lords of the Vendetta, the [[Star Chamber]] themselves.

With the war over, Arcona finally settled in the [[Dajorra]] system. Mejas, with his first Proconsul Voranyen d`Tana, were quick to take charge of the system with little to no resistance from the native people. It is Selenians have welcomed their Dark Jedi Master's as God's of their ancient beliefs. With no resistance and the direct rule of the "Doto Doctrine", the system was one of the first to be named as "''fully functional''" by the Dark Council.

=== Shadow Crafting ===
Working as Consul and providing Arcona with stability, security, leadership and action, Mejas was hailed as a successful, astute and extremely practical Clan Consul. The brethren of Arcona respected his authority and the members outside the Clan feared his wrath. As Consul of Arcona on the newly discovered Dajorra system, Mejas exploited his position to seek out and research the most powerful texts, holocrons and artifacts available to him. The Selenian leaders themselves provided the Clan with their most coveted possession, the [[Abyssal Tome]].

[[Image:ArconaAbyssalTome.jpg|150px|left|thumb|The Abyssal Tome.]]The Tome was a gateway into the native Selenian skill of "''Shadow Crafting''", a form of primordial magic that allowed the Selenian Shadow Weavers to control, manipulate and co-exist with the shadow realm. The Selenian displays enthralled Mejas and after long discussion with his second Proconsul, [[JaM3z Lucius Entar]], Mejas passed on more responsibilities to his subordinate and ordered that all Shadow Weavers were to exist as his own personal Adepts for months of intimate training, secluded from the rest of the Clan. The Selenians taught the Zabrak the basic skills required to Shadow Craft, but with the ability to call upon the dark side of the Force, Mejas mastered the most powerful of the Selenian abilities within the initial months of his training.

Unlocking the Abyssal Tome and combining the teachings within the text, with his mastery of the Dark Side, lead to the untimely death of all the Selenian shadow weavers. During some explorative Shadow Crafting the Selenian's pleaded for their Master to take things slower, and not to rush his experiences within the Shadow Realm. However, the ever tempestuous Zabrak only fought against such requests and somehow opened a doorway into the Shadow plane itself. All those unable to control such raw, primordial energies were consumed by the great void. Mejas himself was greatly shaken by the experience. Never had he felt such total power as he had during this incident.

Although drained from the experience, the Zabrak focused his research on the Abyssal Tome and soon mastered the transition between the two planes of existence. From this day forth, his position as Consul came second to his position as Shadow Master.

=== Purgatory ===
With Mejas's powers growing he soon returned to his role as Consul, trying to balance his lust for Shadow Mastery, with his love for Arcona. However, it could not be and the Zabrak grew so consumed and seduced by the Abyssal Tome that he again distanced himself from the rest of the Clan. [[Krath Pontifex]] JaMez Lucius Entar continued running Arcona, and protected his Consul from scrutiny as long as he could. But with time, the Dark Council intervened. They were sending a Council member to evaluate the Zabrak's proficiency as Consul, due to his persistent inability to communicate or meet with the Emissary, the Deputy Grand Master or the Order Leaders. In effect, they were coming to remove the Zabrak from office.

It turned out that Master Kaine Mandaala arrived to Selen on one of his few trips from Raltiir. The brethren of Arcona, and presumably the Dark Council, knew of the Zabraks kinship with the Brotherhood Herald and hoped that situation would be handled competently and most of all, peacefully. However it was not to be so. While no member witnessed the events first hand, nor have either Dark Jedi spoken of it since, the sound and sparks within the Force were impossible to ignore, a confrontation of some kind had occurred.

Departing from the meeting Kaine Mandaala spoke to nobody and returned to Raltiir. Even the Dark Council were pressing the Arconan summit leaders for answers - presumably as their Herald had provided none. But within the day all questions were answered. Mejas Doto convened his Clan in the Arconan "''Great Hall of Shadows''" and conferenced with leaders throughout the galaxy. He spoke at length for his devotion and lust for Arcona before announcing his retirement, appointing JaM3z as Consul of the Clan and promising his "''Children of Chaos''" that he would be forever watching over them from the shadows. The most legendary part of the Zabrak's speech, however, was the ending. Mejas spoke of himself as the "''Guardian of Arcona''", before bowing out to his brethren and dissipating into fine tendrils of shadowy sinnue. These tendrils twisted and twirled around where he stood, before merging into the great blackness of the shadow filled roof. Mejas Doto was gone.

Some believe he is stuck in the shadow plane, while others believe he resides there through choice. Many members of the Dark Council denounce the Dark Jedi Master's ability to perform such an act whilst others still claim to have seen the Zabrak Master all throughout the Brotherhood systems. Most disturbingly of all, however, is the fact that Clan Arcona refuse to comment on the Consul Emeritus. Perhaps this speaks for itself...

=== The 22nd Consul of Clan Arcona ===
27 ABY everything suddenly changed. The "Guardian of Arcona" has returned to Dajorra, his presence felt by all. With the galactic invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, Mejas Doto played his part in the great clash. Ultimately though, the Brotherhood lost and with that loss Arcona came of one of the worst. Timeros Caesus Entar disappeared after the critical losses his Clan sustained and Proconsul Strategos could do little to circumvent the disaster. When the dust settled, the Clan was left broken and leaderless and Mejas then declared himself open to return as the Clan Consul; an invitation that Grand Master [[Sarin]] pounced upon.

There is much to be rebuilt if there is any chance of Arcona to return to her former glory under Mejas' rule as the 13th Consul. However, the new fleet has already been amassed and restructuring within the Clan is underway. The Shadow Master has openly declared to the Brotherhood that is Arcona is undergoing a "Resurrection". Only time will tell how successful this will be...

=== Weaponry ===
'''Bloodfang'''
[[Image:BloodfangWiki.jpg|left|thumb|Image of Mejas Doto's dual lightsaber.]]
When promoted to Krath Archpriest, Mejas Doto was provided many more oppertunities to excel in the Brotherhood. He was appointed Consul of, the now disbanded, Satal Keto, he was also appointed Praetor to Headmaster Shups, however, surpassing all of these oppertunities, was the Brotherhod's recognition and acceptance that Mejas Doto was now permitted the use of a dual lightsaber.

Having waited for this momentous day, the Zabrak begin the construction of one the most renowned sabres in Brotherhood history. Almost as fabled in Clan Arcona as Ulic Qel-Droma's own lightsaber, there are few in the Brotherhood, let alone Arcona, who have not heard the tales of ''Bloodfang''. The design was inspired by Ulic's own [[Lightsabers|lightsaber]], but elongated, with the ability to be halved and used as dual sabres. The emmitter aesthetic is derived from the sharpened teeth of Mejas Doto. Completely constructed from lightweight alloys, with a balance for her user like few have managed to achieve - ''Bloodfang'' is a weapon equal in both beauty and destructive power. In the hands of her owner, she has slain many an adversary and not always in the most orthodox of manners. It is well known, that when possible, Mejas Doto prefers the use of the teeth like emmitters for laceration, puncture and evisceartion.

[[Image:BloodfangSHIP.gif|right|thumb|Image of the Modified Lancer Class Frigate named after Mejas Doto's dual lightsaber.]] It should also be noted that Mejas Doto's affection and bond with his lightsaber have even been commemerated in the Arconan fleet. This was after a [[Great Jedi War]] when the Clan were awarded, among other ships, a Modified Lancer Class Frigate, which the then-Consul named "''Bloodfang''".

== Titles and Possessions ==

=== Clan Title ===
Mejas Doto is the first Arconan to be awarded the Clan title, due to his work as Consul and longterm Clan member. After conflict with Emissary [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow|Tron Sadow]], Mejas rebuked the format the Clan title would take and refused to adopt Arconae as his surname. Because of this, Arconan's may choose to use their title in the following format: Mejas Doto, di Tenebrous Arconae.
Mejas has since adopted the full title "Mejas Doto, di Primus Tenebrous Arconae" to reflect his appointment as the first of the Arconae.

=== Shadow Mastery ===
Mejas Doto was the first Arconan to attain full understanding of the Abyssal Tome and from this he has reached the pinnacle that is Shadow Mastery. His complete dedication to the Ways of Shadowcrafting lead to his resignation as Consul of Clan Arcona and effective retiral as a member of the Dark Brotherhood. It is believed by many that Mejas felt that the only way of attaining the position as a Dark Prophet, was to combine his knowledge of the Dark Side with the very darkness of the shadows. At this point his corporeal existence wanes in and out of being.

Arconan's have commented that the former Consul has become so heavily intertwined with the ethereal plane of the Shadows that he is believed to exist for longer and longer periods of time in this alternative plane. The Arconan official stance on Mejas's Shadowcrafting powers state that he is a Shadow Master, capable of two of the Abyssal Rites. These are ''Banishment'' and ''Summon the Abyss''; however - it is well known that the Dark Jedi Master has surpassed such limitations and his ability to ''Shadow Walk'' and conduit between planes are examples of his continuing prowess and unmatched ability.

=== Tarentum Estate ===
Mejas Doto was granted an estate on the [[Clan Tarentum|Tarentum]] planet of [[Yridia IV]] after a secret pact with former Consul [[Sith Bloodfyre]]. The exact details of this arangement are unknown to any others in the Brotherhood and Mejas has been afforded full immunity when using the estate on Yridia IV. The estate itself is not visibe from the exterior of the planet and no knowledge of what is contained in the estate, or what it is used for, is available.

=== "Guardian of Arcona" ===
Upon retiring from the office of Consul, Mejas Doto remained ever watchful of his Clan. He is frequently called upon as an advisor to the summits and remains aware of the ebb and flow of Arcona's path. He has also stood against the summit and the Dark Council when the Clans interests are being overlooked by those who are afforded its charge. For this reason, Mejas Doto often refers to himself as the "''Guardian of Arcona''". It later transpired that with the Clan in need, Mejas returned to the Dajorra system and was formally appointed as the Guardian of Arcona, as an Elder and unofficial 3rd member of the Clan summit.

=== "Lord High Justice of the Doctrine" ===
When Mejas resigned from Consul the Dajorra system reacted badly to their leaders departure. Although Proconsul JaM3z was a strong and capable leader, fractures splintered the discipline and faith of both Dark Jedi Arconan's and the other inhabitants of the Dajorra system. As leaders changed new methods of rule were sought out, but none could gain control of the system as effectively or completely as the Doto Doctrine. Realising the escalating troubles within the Dajorra system and wanting to protect Arcona from interference from the Chamber of Justcie or other Dark Council bodies, Mejas returned to aide Consul JaM3z in re-establishing totalitarian rule of the system. Annointing himself as "Lord High Justice of the Doctrine", the former Consul reinforced the brutal regime, known as the Doto Doctrine, which instantly wrested full control back to the Clan summit. Following Mejas's departure into the Shadow Realm, a body of Doctrinal Fiscals were established throughout the system and while the day to day judicial system is managed in conjunction with the Clan summit, Mejas retains full control of the systems laws through his role as Lord High Justice of the Doctrine.
 

== Trivia ==
Did you know that...
*Mejas Doto was taken before the Chamber of Justice when he was a Guardian and demoted back to an Apprentice for cheating in Shadow Academy exams via IRC. How ironic he would later be the leader of the faculty he tried to dupe!
*Mejas Doto created the Ektrosian artefact "The Orb of Pomojema" back when he was a Jedi Hunter in Ektrosis.
*Mejas Doto was responsible for having Ass-tatine banned from IRC, after requesting the support of two long time friends (and fortunately High Court Inquisitors!) Trevarus Caerick and Chi-Long.
*Mejas Doto created the original Crescent and Star of Eos images for the website and Dark Side Compendium.
*Mejas Doto originally wanted to name the new Arconan system as Labia Majora, with one of the system moons/planets taking the name Labia Minora. However, after a lengthy discussion with his Proconsul, Voranyen, the name Dajorra was adopted (D from Doto and ajorra used as a variant of Majora). Mejas and Voranyen were also responsible for naming the rest of the system.
*During the exodus, Proconsul Voranyen named the site of the new Clan headquarters, on Selen, "Doto Rock". This was in homage to Consul Mejas Doto - even although it is widely known that the area isn't very rocky!
*Mejas Doto is the channel manager for #arcona on IRC
*Mejas Doto is the weilder of the infamous "Doto Doctrine", a channel control policy unparalleled throughout the Brotherhood IRC network for it's brutality and totalitarian grip.
*Mejas Doto always refers to Malik Sadow as "Manlik".
*Mejas Doto is one of the few non-Tarenti (members of Tarentum) allowed past Yridia IX on his personal craft. Others include GM [[Chi-Long]], GM [[Justinian Khyron]] and DJM [[Trevarus Caerick]].
*Mejas Doto was once defeated at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, by Korax and [[Chi-Long]] whilst visiting Canada!
*Mejas Doto once earnt a CF for defeating Timeros Caesus Entar at rock, paper, scissors whilst visiting Amsterdam!
*Mejas Doto designed and implemented the heraldic shields of the Justicar's office. This originally started with [[Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor|Yacko]]'s competition, but was further fleshed out during [[Kir Katarn]]'s tenure as Justicar. All three post-exodus Justicar's (DJM Yacko, GM Firefox and DJM Kir) have had their crests created by Mejas.
*Mejas Doto is one of the first Dark Jedi to have his own smilie created: [[Image:mejas-smilie.gif]]

''"Let’s fight to fight, not to kill. We shall fight because we are friends, because we are opponents, and because we are. Have at you."'' - Sashar to Selene d'Tana, during an ACC match.

A soldier. A warrior. A survivor. Above all else, these are the three defining characteristics of the man known as Sashar.

== History ==
=== Tragic Beginnings ===

Born upon Onderon, this human's life would start with tragedy. The transport carrying Sashar and his birth family suffered a critical malfunction, causing it to crash upon the jungle moon of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dxun Dxun]. No information on the crash or the passengers and crew was ever recorded, and so nothing was known of Sashar's blood family. Miraculously, the 6 month old infant survived the crash.

His life would have ended there had it not been for the timely arrival of the Patriarch of the Kodiak Clan. Happening upon the wailing child in the wilderness, the Patriarch decided to take Sashar with him. Perhaps it was the close proximity with which the transport crashed to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neo-Crusader_headquarters Mandalorian camp], or perhaps it was that a child capable of surviving a crash that killed so many adults should be able to endure what would come next. In any event, what came next was to be raised as a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mandalorian Mandalorian].

Like with so many other "Mandalorians," Sashar was an orphan raised as one of them. And being raised a Mandalorian meant that he underwent the same grueling training and labor as his brothers and sisters. And like all Mandalorians, Sashar was fiercely loyal to his family, and so even as he surpassed his brothers and sisters in training, not once did it cause friction amongst them. The bond between family and clan was incredibly strong. And not even hubris or bravado could break it, yet none would be forthcoming from the boy who put his family before himself.

But, still life would change things – as it always does. At nine, the young Sashar had visions and nightmares of a giant, dark and foreboding structure calling him into the depths of the jungle. Troubled, he told his father of these visions. After much discussion with the elders and leaders of the Clan, it was surmised that the young Sashar had nascent ties to the Force. The information was kept from him, to keep him from believing he was different from his siblings and cousins.

Once more life's current would sweep Sashar up, leaving the past floating behind. Sashar was keyed for more rigorous training in leadership, tactical command and grand strategy. It was hoped that Sashar would one day take part in a grand campaign – a great Mandalorian Army. Still, life would not let the young boy fulfill the desires of his family. Sashar and his brother, [[Kieran]], were inseparable. The two wreaked much havoc and caused much mischief within the Clan's enclave. Breaking into the Clan's archives, the two discovered their father's journal and his account of the discussion with the leaders of the Clan. That Sashar was sensitive to the Force. Immediately, the two youths set off. Commandeering one of the Clan's transports and making their way from the moon Dxun to the planet Onderon. At the temple, dark side entities accosted Sashar's mind. It was only through Kieran's intervention that Sashar arrived, dragging his comatose brother away from the temple and back to Dxun. Sashar would remain in a coma for more than a month.

The youth awoke distracted. Upon his return to consciousness, he proceeded to fall ever further behind in his studies. No one knew what plagued him, Sashar keeps mute about the affair, perhaps he himself did not know the reason for his distraction. In any event, he quickly was shuffled away from Super-Commando training and put into more technical aspects. And still the distractions continued. After a series of minor mishaps due to his distractions, Kieran took his brother once more to the tomb. There, Sashar came face to face with his eldritch demons and emerged from the tomb much more somber.

=== Chrysalis ===

The second trip to the temple brought out something much darker and much more ferocious in Sashar. His efforts in training were redoubled and he was returned to Super-Commando training. It was not only in his training that he became more ruthless, but he developed a disturbing and quiet insight on how best to proceed with interrogations, when someone was lying and how to cause the most damage in a situation with the least effort. Troubled by this turn of events, it was decided that Sashar would be sent to Eos, there to learn the ways of the Dark Jedi – the ways of the Sith.

Within the Brotherhood, Sashar rose quickly. Assigned to Clan Alvaak, the Mandalorian rose to Knighthood within a year. From there, he took up command of a squadron of fighters for the Clan, as well as taking on his first apprentice - a young Sith called [[Zandro Savric Erinos]]. A rising star, he eventually became a Sith Battlemaster, and [[Aedile]] of his House, while in Alvaak. Unfortunately, as is with life, the path he was currently on would be derailed once more. This time, forces beyond him would conspire. Members of the Brotherhood's Star Chamber and other prominent Elders chafed and balked at the liberties taken against their order and severed all ties to their sister organization – The Emperor's Hammer. The Hammer, one of many Imperial Remnant factions, acted quickly to staunch the hemorrhaging of talented Dark Siders from their ranks. Sashar and his command, Sentinel Squadron, were ordered to halt any attempting to secede from Alvaak. Sashar, however, would stay his own hand, unable to fire upon compatriots and those he grew to trust, and consider "ner'vod" - siblings. He was summarily stripped of his rank and charge and exiled from Imperial space.

Without a place in the Empire, Sashar returned home rather than joining the Separatists. There he spent time meditating and conversing with the Elders of his Kodiak Clan. It was decided that he should instead venture once more out into the Galaxy, and learn more of the life that existed away from the cloistered Halls of the Sith, Krath and Obelisk. He would in his journeys, eventually stumble across the Bounty Hunter's Guild. There he would find new comrades in a group known as the Phoenix Kabal. Within the Kabal, he grew close to Dash Kuatir – a Kuati youth renown as both a marksman and a sharpshooter. The two would get into a great deal of trouble as well, as the brash young Kuati complimented the much more stoic Mandalorian. The two would in fact enter into a relationship for a number of years.

Eventually, Sashar would join the Seperatist Brotherhood, and would join [[Clan Arcona]]. As is with all things, Sashar made friends, allies and enemies within Arcona. Instrumental in the Selen Incident, Sashar also aided in molding [[Soulfire Strike Team]], utilizing his training on Dxun. The Mandalorian made a name for himself in the Arcona/[[Taldryan]] Feud, even though Arcona came off worse in that particular engagement. Eventually, he would be promoted to Aedile of House Galeres, and took on two apprentices [[Malidir]] and his own brother [[Kieran]]. Both would rise steadily. Sashar would leave however, after he was sacked by his own Quaestor – acting under the direction and request of those outside of Arcona.

===Revelations===

Sashar spent the time productively. He took an extended LoA with Zandro and his first apprentices brother, [[Xayun Erinos]] to help Zandro avenge his former fiancé’s death at the hands of Pirates. Sashar and Xayun worked closely during the incursion into the Pirate base, finding that their different force philosophies complemented each other – the Prelate put it down to their both being Mandalorians. However, a chance meeting of Xayun and Zandro’s sisters in the command centre of the facility. Sashar watched as the two brothers cut down their own flesh and blood – a disturbing sight for the grey Jedi who had always hoped that his first apprentice would follow his ethos in the force.

After the conflict, the trio travelled to the Erinos family home on Yaga Minor. The mother of the two Erinos brothers, upon laying eyes on Sashar, divulged a confession. The Mandalorian was her son – she had had a child before meeting Zandro and Xayun’s father, and the father of the child had insisted that he be taken to a Mandalorian Clan to be brought up a warrior. Not wanting children at the time, their mother had agreed and had heard that the transport carrying Sashar and his father had crashed and assumed that all aboard were killed. Sashar apparently was the spitting image of his father, thus explaining their mother’s reaction. Whilst it was shocking to discover that Zandro, Xayun and Sashar were all related, it was, for the Mandalorian not entirely unexpected – his Force Chain with Zandro when they were training was a testament to that.

Sashar could not enjoy any time with his mother for two reasons: First, neither the mother or the father of the Erinos Boys seemed too keen on dredging up the past, and the Mandalorian was to be recalled by Strategos Entar, the former [[Proconsul]], now [[Consul]], of Clan Arcona. He would be asked to return, but rather than rejoin Arcona, be asked to join The Clan of Death – [[Tarentum]].

This transfer was short-lived. While Sashar felt at home and at ease with the more military-orientated mindset of clan Tarentum, he desperately missed his ner’vod in Arcona. He rushed through the assignment given to him by the Consul of Arcona and returned to [[Dajorra]]. This was not before making the acquaintance of one [[Oberst]] - the Marshal of Tarentum's military assets. Their single encounter would leave quite an impression on the Mandalorian. Again, he rejoined Soulfire Strike Team and was elated to discover that his second apprentice, Malidir, had completed his training under a different master and was now a Knight.

In a secret ceremony known only to a few Sashar was named ‘Centurion’ of Arcona – a position given to the most loyal to the Consul who would act as his Bodyguard and commander of Arcona’s Special Forces. Sashar immediately set to work training a unit of ‘mundanes’ to combat force users and nicknamed them the Sentinels - a homeage to his first command. He equipped them with superior gear to their compatriots in the Arcona Armed forces and made sure they could pilot all of Clan Arcona’s ships should they need to.

===Onslaught===

Unrest would spread through Arcona once again and soon there was a vacuum of power in House Galeres when Selene d’Tana, formerly one of the most trusted members of clan Arcona and a prodigy of [[Shadowcrafting]], abruptly upped and left. Malidir was promoted to Quaestor and Sashar’s first apprentice, Zandro Savric Erinos was given back command of Soulfire Strike Team. Sashar took on another apprentice in addition to his brother Kieran – the [http://starwars.wikia.com/Nagai Nagai] known as [[Rho]]. Shortly thereafter there was a series of skirmishes between [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] and Clan Arcona. Soulfire was able to put their new gear designed by Sashar and Kieran to use and their first tour of duty as a reformed unit was a success, however the unit did suffer losses, and was somewhat depleted. To combat this, Sashar sent out a call through the force for one of his ner’vod on Dxun – [[Juda]]. The Mandalorian answered the call and made his way to the Dajorra System (much to the dismay of the Clan Kodiak Elders). He was immediately placed in Soulfire Strike Team and kept explicitly away from the Shadow Academy – Sashar didn’t want Juda being warped by the Dark Side of the Force. Instead, he took Juda under his wing as an apprentice in everything but name – he still had Kieran and Rho’s training to complete and the Clan Summit would surely never allow him to take on a third; Sashar, however, was of the mindset that what the Summit did not know could not hurt them.

Soulfire Strike Team was still less than full strength when the Rite of Supremacy began. Whilst initially faring well, Soulfire, like the rest of Arcona and indeed the Brotherhood, found themselves simply unable to match the sheer weight of numbers and left the Rite of Supremacy demoralized, however the failure was a crucible of sorts – it did forge the Clan in general and Soulfire in particular closer together, giving them a common enemy to fight against. Sashar finally also took on the duties of Clan Envoy during the Rite of Supremacy.

The Shadow Clan was not to have a redoubt. Bare days after the conclusion of the Rite of Supremacy a Hutt Armada led by the Besadii Clan invaded the [[Dajorra System]]. Sashar and Soulfire were immediately sent to [[Eldar]] to hold an area of dense forest being used by the invading Hutt forces to land the majority of their Mechanised units and Walkers. The Commando team were pulled out before they could complete their mission by an urgent call from the Consul – the attack on Eldar was a feint, and the Hutt’s real target was [[Selen]].

Soulfire were brought back to the [[ACC Thanatos]] and quickly briefed on their mission – to retake the spaceport being used as a main landing area for the Hutt forces whilst their Sergeant, Zandro, was sent on a recon mission, utilising his singular experience in a TIE Phantom. Sashar was given command of the squad. Again, Soulfire were in their element and even went as far as taking down a Gallofree transport and two AT-AT’s (one with the aid of air support from Zandro), however they were struck a double blow when first Wolv was killed by a blast from the second AT-AT. The shock of the death through the battle meld caused both Sashar and Zandro to lose their cool (a rare occurrence). Whilst Sashar had his comrades to back him up and bring him down from his blood drunk craze, Zandro wasn’t so lucky. Sashar’s first apprentice was captured.

Once Again, Soulfire was picked up mid-way through their mission and together with the Consul assaulted Decca the Hutt’s stronghold in Arcona’s Capital – coincidentally where Zandro was being held. In one fell swoop Soulfire freed their Sergeant and killed off the Hutt leader – thereby ending the threat to Clan Arcona and the Dajorra system.

For his bravery in the Hutt Invasion and his completion of the Trials set out before him, Kieran was promoted to Dark Jedi Knight, joining Sashar as a Knight of Arcona. After the Hutt Invasion, Arcona entered a period of relative peace. [[House Galeres]]’ [[Quaestor]] stepped down and Sashar was appointed the role for his work as Clan Envoy and his repeated dedication during Soulfire’s numerous tours of duty.

===Building a Better Future===
[[image:Erinos_Family2.JPG|thumb|400px|right|The 'Vode Erinos']]
During this relatively quiet time, Sashar, Xayun and Zandro embarked on a project; to form their own Mandalorian clan – The [[Erinos]] Family. They realised that to accomplish this, they’d need to recruit from outside and so made sure to offer the first 6 founding ‘places’ to their friends who had displayed an uncanny edge in combat – Kieran, Juda, and Malidir. Once they had established a core member base of force sensitivies – five of six who were Mandalorian – The Erinos brothers set out to create a small colony on the Arcona-held world of [[Arconae Primus]] – to that end, Zandro and Xayun sought out the raw materials for the colony such as pre-fab buildings and construction/farming droids whilst Kieran and Malidir returned to Dxun to offer some families from the Kodiak clan the chance to be part of a new Mandalorian Clan. They returned with 70 men and women, and work was started to establish this blossoming family.

Soon, others were welcomed into the Erinos fold, partially because of their warrior prowess, and also to strengthen the bond blossoming between Clan Tarentum and Clan Arcona. However, before the neophyte family could settle, the Seventh [[Great Jedi War]] washed through the Brotherhood, with devastating results.

Before the invasion of [[Antei]], Galeres only saw one brief conflict with the Vong – specifically when Sashar led a contingent of Galeres to the planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/Krant Krant] and eradicated a nest of peace Brigaders that had taken up residence inside an ancient Sith Temple. Sashar used the attack to cover his own entry and went through his own personal duel with the Shadow-wraith Malachi – a duel that left him with a cursed right arm, his skin turned jet black up to the shoulder, however the lost pages of the Abyssal Tome were retrieved, and Sashar found that his right arm was curiously better at channelling his latent Shadowcrafting abilities, however to conceal this alteration from his peers, he made sure to wear a black glove – he was not yet ready to assume the mantle of Shade Warrior.

Further, upon returning to Dajorra he discovered that there had been an assassination attempt on the Consul Strategos Entar. Intelligence Analysts from Arcona’s military discerned that the Taanis Syndicate, a supplier of bulk transports for Arcona, was behind it. Sashar led a team to [[Sukhur]], where the Taanis syndicate were holed up to apprehend the culprits, and let his ner’vode into battle with a savagery he’d seldom displayed before. Indeed, it was during the Vitriol operation that the Mandalorian first used his Shadowcrafting abilities in combat.

===Ruin===

Straight after, Arcona was summonned along with the other clans to Antei.

Much of the Brotherhood’s military strength was located around Antei for an award ceremony to commemorate the recent [[Rite of Supremacy]] and as such, much of the Brotherhood’s military strength was scuttled when the [http://starwars.wikia.com/Yuuzhan_Vong Yuuzhan Vong] swept in with unknown ships, unpredictable technology and superior numbers. The clans were decimated and scattered into the [[Shroud]].

Sashar, Zandro and Kieran were thrown into the chaos as their Consul sent them back into the fray to the VSD [[Vae Victus]] in efforts to ascertain the fate of the Deputy Grand Master. The trio of Mandalorians were escorted through the maelstrom by Juda and Bendak, two of Soulfire Strike Team’s best pilots. Unfortunately, only Juda survived to get his charges to the dying Destroyer.

The trio met with fierce combat on-board the dying ship and Yuuzhan Vong warriors were already overrunning the defences. The bridge was lost before their feet touched the Hangar floor and the Vode Erinos instead shifted their mission profile – hurt the Vong and deny them the capture of one of the Brotherhood’s more powerful craft. They battled their way to the Reactor Core and set the ship to blow up. The trio escaped via an escape pod (sacrificing the Clan’s Diplomatic Yacht, Serenity in the process) and were stranded in the darkness of the shroud. Unfortunately, they had to sit out the rest of the initial conflict around Dajorra until a patrol from clan Tarentum found their escape pod. From there, they were escorted to the Clan’s Marshal and shipped back to Dajorra, where Arcona was regrouping. The Arconan military had reacted brilliantly to the threat the Yuuzhan Vong posed. Rather than attempt to combat a threat with virtually no naval strength, the remaining forces had withdrawn to Arcona’s last stand – a contingency set in place by Sashar himself – they had retreated to Sukhur and awaited the return of the battered remnants of Arcona’s forces.

After the dust had settled, Sashar was appointed a senior military aide for the purpose of aiding the new consul, [[Mejas Doto]], and helped re-organise the newly minted taskforce assigned to Arcona into a fighting force that could both defend Dajorra and combat the threat the Vong represented. However, due to his being unable to fight with his brothers for most of the Antei conflict, he felt he was no longer fit for command and resigned as Quaestor, returning to Soulfire. This, coupled with his having a disagreement with the new Knight Commander of the Brotherhood left him without any pull on the Clan Summit – a situation he was grateful for. Nevertheless, Sashar was above all a survivor and set plans in motion to ensure the survival of both the Erinos Pride and Soulfire Strike team.

Mejas’s surprise reappearance in Arcona and unprecedented appointment as Consul alarmed the Mandalorian and prompted him to prepare a safe home in Tarentum for the Erinos family, however this was a last resort - to do so would likely damage the clan irreparably. Instead, Sashar took it upon himself to approach the Shadow Lord and act as his advisor, bringing Mejas Doto up to speed on member histories, recent events and the potential ramifications of some of his more radical reforms. The partnership blossomed and it didn’t take long for the Shadow Lord to appoint Sashar as his de-facto right arm.

A brief tour of the [[Shroud]] in the newly completed [[ISD-II Eye of the Abyss II|Eye of the Abyss II]] searching for survivors from the recent Antei conflict let the clan regain some confidence and bolster its members. As Sashar was still officially attached to Soulfire, he accompanied them on the hellish excursion to a derelict observation platform to rescue a motley collection of surviving Dark Jedi who had stumbled across the platform as they fled Antei. Unfortunately the Yuuzhan Vong had found them too.

Soulfire, as always, fought bravely and succeeded in extracting the stragglers, however the Exarch was captured and briefly tortured before his ner’vod could retrieve him.

Upon returning to the ''Abyss'', Sashar was rushed to the medical ward and his own apprentice Juda operated on him to save his vision, grafting in a pair of prosthetic eyes for the short term until a more suitable replacement could be found. The Mandalorian was unperturbed by his capture and temporary loss of sight and carried on assisting Mejas during the tumultuous Resurrection of Arcona, where every single summit member in the clan was stripped of their position and forced through the Rite. Soulfire was once again called on to assist the Consul, hunting through the [[Shadowcrafting#Level_10:_Darkest_Night|Darkest Night]] cloud the Shadow Lord created about Qel-Droma’s temple and the Exarch was placed as a last guard for anyone that could make it through the Shadowcrafted arena. Only one made it as far as him – Timeros, former Consul and deserter.

Sashar and Timeros engaged in a brief duel, however the Mandalorian was rested and prepared – he took the Heregan’s arm and sent him tumbling back into the dark maelstrom. A body was never recovered.

With his being confirmed the Proconsul of Arcona, Sashar sought to fully exploit his new position. His first act was to request that the Shadow Lord tutor him in the ways of Shadowcrafting so that he may one day attain mastery of the secretive art. His second was to fix the problem of his eyes. Mejas Doto and Juda Erinos worked together to clone a pair of eyes that were imbued with the force. This meant that in addition to granting the Mandalorian his usual sight, he was also able to see well in complete darkness (a homage to his Shadowcrafting) and also occasionally see currents and shatterpoints in the force. The eyes, unlike his originals, were a dark blue with an unusual pupil pattern, signifying their cloned nature.

===For Arcona===

Sashar’s time settling into Proconsul was spent well. He worked closely with Oberst and other members of the Tarentum Summit to forge a treaty of alliance between the two maverick clans. Dubbed the [[Treaty of Kessel]], it bonded them together, with the Erinos the driving force behind the scenes to pair the clans together. Immediately following this, the Exarch spearheaded a ‘Great Hunt’ for Arcona in an effort to aid the Tarentum/Arcona research efforts – namely, he intended to capture a live Terentatek. The Hunt was a success and Sashar had the specimen moved to ‘The Project’ on [[Boral]] – the former location of Kaek’s terraforming project that had fallen under during the GJW as the budget was needed to re-build the military.

With Sashar’s ascension as Shadow Scion, he was also granted the title of di Tenebrous Arcona – on the condition that he renounce his allegiance with the Erinos family and swear a blood oath of fealty to his clan. Reluctantly, Sashar agreed and convened the first Erinos convocation, where he passed on the role of Patriarch to Malidir. Secretly, Sashar had no intention of abandoning his family, however he was only confident in his own ability to deceive Mejas – he couldn’t be sure that the Shadow Lord would rip the information from his brother’s heads. As such, it was the first time the Mandalorian had ever been truly alone. For completing this ‘test’ of his allegiance, Sashar was also granted a Sapphire Blade.

== Appearance ==
[[image:Sashar_face.jpeg|200px|left]]
Sashar stands at an even six feet and takes every caution to appear as bland and unremarkable as possible (after all, individuals attract fire). With an even tan formed from a lifetime outside and dark hair that varies in length and tone from a military crew cut to just brushing his shoulders in times of extended conflict, he has the look of a man barely reaching adulthood that has nevertheless seen too much of war and has left its mark.

His eyes were a warm dark brown that belied the compassion he still felt; indeed it was through his eyes that one can see he wasn’t a true dark Jedi. His love for battle is in the act itself – not in the ramifications or delivering death. However After his appointment as Proconsul and loss of his original eyes, he has been gifted with something a little more special.

In terms of identifying marks, beyond the usual cuts and scrapes life gives a person (and obviously his eyes), there is only one: his right arm. The skin is tainted black as pitch up to the shoulder, where the jagged darkness gives way to unblemished skin. This marring was received just prior to the eighth Great Jedi War, where Sashar took on the Shadow Wraith Malachi in the Sith Temple on Krant, reaching into the abyss itself to tear free the lost pages of the Abyssal Tome from the thief. Touching such blighted space left its mark on the Mandalorian he will not soon be rid of. Curiously, his Shadowcrafting is strongest when he gestures with his right arm.

With a muscled, compact form and board shoulders with very little body fat spread over his form, he is lightly haired and well groomed. In times of war, a dusting of stubble sprinkled across his face isn’t uncommon.

His only piece of jewellery is the ‘Star of Dajorra’ – a silver necklace hung about his neck holding a small glass marble with a shining light encased within. The light, upon careful inspection, is an exact replica of the Star Dajorra. This award was bestowed upon Sashar for his work in helping augment the training of Arcona’s Military forces, making them a more effective fighting force with lectures and talks on Battle Psychology.

=== Ayumarka Eyes ===
[[image:Sashar-eyes.jpeg|200px|left]]
Sashar’s eyes are cloned and engineered to allow him to see as he previously did, as well as granting him near perfect vision in pitch darkness. Added to this, the Consul Mejas Doto imbued an amount of force energy into the eyes, allowing their owner to occasionally see currents and shatterpoints in the force. The eyes, unlike his originals, are a dark blue with an unusual tri-pointed pupil pattern, signifying their special nature.

== Psychological Profile ==
The Mandalorian is somewhat of a contradiction, even to himself. His strong sense of a warrior’s honour seems to drive his moral decisions – indeed it features strongly in his philosophy of the force. By his own admission, he refers to himself as a Grey Jedi – a dangerous title for someone in the Dark Brotherhood. This endeavour for an ‘honourable’ life is countered by his growing strength in the force – he finds himself questioning the Mandalorian drive for war. Indeed, he is starting to see his Mandalorian way of life impractical at times, and looks to the force to aid him towards the ‘greater good.’ It remains to be seen how this internal strife will manifest itself.

His loyalties however, aren’t affected by his conflicting morals and dark temptation. His Family, his House, his Clan and a few select others he would gladly give his life for – the Mandalorian’s family orientated culture being the driving force behind that mentality. Outside of the close circle his trusts, he ranges from respectful (to those he views as competent warriors) to openly scornful (to those he views as cowards; those who don’t fight with honour). This doesn’t lend itself easily to strangers – that is not to say that the Mandalorian can’t be charming, polite and dapper; merely that he chooses not to be amongst his peers in the Brotherhood.

== The Force ==

Sashar’s application of the force is, like his fighting style, spartan. He will only expend the energy needed to complete the task presented before him, be it defeating an opposing force user or knocking down a reinforced door. He is at home using the force in many aspects – indeed he is quite the Knight, however he has paid particular attention to his cultivation of Battle-Melds. His work with Soulfire only helped him improve this singular talent and he considers it his latent leaning in the force. Some are healers, some are seers; Sashar can forge Battle Melds.

Again, with his philosophy being that of a Grey Jedi and Sashar embracing the Potentium view of the force, he is not squeamish about using the force’s more offensive powers if the end result is what he sees ‘the greater good.’

A disturbing private lust for knowledge has driven Sashar to embrace his clan’s art of Shadow-crafting – an art he before shunned as dishonourable. ‘Mandalorians should fight worthy opponents face to face’ ad nauseum. He is quite adept at the ancient art, however tries to downplay that particular base of knowledge; only the Consul knows how far he has truly progressed.

== Combat ==
In combat, Sashar is very much the Mandalorian’s Mandalorian. He is unafraid to make a mess, accepts collateral damage with a shrug and displays a nonchalance to the various tools he uses to disassemble sentients that startles those who encounter him. His fighting style is no-nonsense, not big on flashy demonstrations of power or skill, instead expanding just enough energy to get the job done, at least when it comes to melee or hand-to-hand fighting. However, his use of high-yield explosives can best be surmised in his own words: “P for Plenty.”

Being trained in small unit tactics since being a toddler, he is incredibly comfortable with a wide variety of blaster weapons, and has also taken it upon himself to modify the ‘gear’ he owns to better suit his needs. Likewise, he worked closely with his brother to help design the Soulfire Neo-Crusader armour to be optimised for a small commando unit who regularly face force users of greater rank and skill. As such, he isn’t afraid to use technology, tools and gadgets in his line of work and sneers at those who think that the Lightsaber is the only weapon they’ll ever need. That isn’t to say that he doesn’t respect lightsaber combat – indeed he is quite the swordsman – but he also is of the belief that there are times and places for the antiquated weapon.

As Soulfire’s former Tech specialist, the Mandalorian is also quite at home with various forms of electronic warfare and spends a lot of his down time when not practicing or attending to his various duties in the clan ‘tinkering’ with various pieces of technology or weaponry to better them.

===Lightsaber Combat===

'''Primary Form:'''[[Soresu]] 
'''Secondary Form:'''[[Djem So]] 
'''Tertiary Form:''' [[Shii-Cho]]

Sashar’s lightsaber style is, put simply, brutally utilitarian. A master of [[Soresu]], Sashar’s defence is legendary in Arcona. He practices daily, constantly striving to improve his form. Of particular note is fluid approach to the form, maintaining a stoic even-footed defence that allows him to implement his signature move – ‘Mighty Guard’ where he can combat up to 12 strikes a second – a prowess he displayed during the second [[Rite of Supremacy]] and the recent invasion of the Dajorra System by the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Besadii Besadii] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kajidic Kajidic].

The Mandalorian is also a follower of [[Djem So]], and often switches to the fifth form to throw antagonists off when they expect him to hold back and try to keep them at bay with his third form defence. Sashar switches between the forms as easily as he would change from a jog to a walk and it is often seen to combine the two forms to further confound his opponents. The staccato movements of Djem So are similar to Soresu, thus allowing Sashar to almost present a fusion of the forms – he hopes to one day do just that. It is also worthy of note that Sashar has practiced duelling with Shii-Cho; but only so that he may better get to know Djem So.

As an [[Obelisk]], it should be noted that Sashar is no at all limited to lightsaber combat, and often only draws his saber as a last resort, instead preferring to use more conventional weapons such as blasters, explosives or his fists before closing to melee range.

== Gear ==
===Cross Saber===
[[image:1612-saber.jpeg|thumb|200px|right|Sashar's former Lightsaber]]
Sashar constructed his third lightsaber after his second lightsaber, a claymore he christened the ''Violet Vendetta'' was confiscated upon his banishment from Clan Alvaak. This saber was hastily constructed whilst the Mandalorian was travelling the galaxy, and as such assembled using whatever components he could lay his hands on, rather in the specialised workshops provided by Arcona. A bit too heavy for Sashar’s liking, the pommel has little decoration or grip, instead only offering the wielder something solid and unencumbered to hold onto. With only a single Agedan crystal contained within, the blade is uncomplicated and not aimed at tackling any single type of threat, be it blaster fire or other lightsabers. Sashar lost the blade during a duel in the Taldryan/Arcona feud, however he reclaimed it after the engagement. After the feud, Sashar started work on the ''Fraternity'' and now keeps his teal blade in his quarters, strictly as a backup weapon should the ''Fraternity'' be lost.

===Fraternity===
[[image:Sashar-saber.gif|thumb|200px|left|Sashar's Lightsaber]]
It took nearly a month to make. The delicately tooled bronze and dark chromium exterior contradict with Sashar’s true disposition of being a no-nonsense fighter, not interested in flair and pomp, however, though never admitting it, the Mandalorian could have simply taken great pride (as he does with all of his weapons and tools) in its construction and wanted to display his fierce pride of the weapon in its aesthetics.

Sashar spent a while acquiring the parts he needed for the ''Fraternity'', most notably the crystals. The primary crystal, the crystal which grants the saber its rusty orange colour was bought from an artisan that had been to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mustafar Mustafar] and somehow acquired the crystal through less than legal means. It took Sashar nearly all of the month to get the funds together to pay a deposit on the rare Mustafarian [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lava_crystal Lava Crystal], and less than ten seconds to threaten the Artisan into giving him the crystal for free, and his money back as a gesture of good faith. Whilst taking no pleasure in this bullying of a hapless civilian, Sashar did acknowledge that it was necessary to acquire that crystal for his saber, and as such justifies it ‘for the greater good.’

The two focusing crystals were another story altogether. The pure black [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Krayt_Dragon_Pearl Krayt Dragon Pearl] was a gift from the Arcona Consul Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae to one of his closest retainers and it was given with the hint that it might be useful in Shadowcrafting – the Clan Arcona focus. Sashar installed the pearl into the saber and found that Shadowcrafting was indeed a little easier when he focused on the jet black Krayt Dragon Pearl nestled in his lightsaber.

Finally, the last crystal that went into the ''Fraternity'' was a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lorrdian_Gemstone Lorrdian Gemstone], chosen for its use in focusing the mind into predicting attack patterns and when combined with a lightsaber, aiding the wielder in deflecting blaster bolts with the arcane weapon. As a regular practitioner of the Third form, Soresu, Sashar felt that this was a must and he was able to acquire one from the lightsaber of a felled opponent from the Arcona/Taldryan Clan Feud.

The name of the lightsaber was a reminder of Sashar’s heritage – to remind the Mandalorian that his ner’vod had helped him come this far in life, and it was his duty to do the same in return. To that end, Sashar often thought of the lightsaber more as a token to represent his brothers (both Mandalorian and adopted) than a weapon.

Sashar is a master of [[Soresu]].

===Armour===
[[image:Sashar-Armour.jpeg|thumb|200px|right|Sashar's Armour]]
[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mandalorian_Armor Mandalorian Armour] cuts an intimidating sight, and Sashar’s is no exception. Half hidden usually beneath the folds of his grey outer robe, Sashar opted for armour to be painted a matte grey with a black bodysuit underneath. All offensive weaponry usually concealed about the Mandalorian suit has been removed. Instead, the suit has been made as light as possible and as ‘free’ as it can to give the Mandalorian the maximum of dexterity in combat. In the left gauntlet there is a miniature Datapad/comlink combi complete with tactical encryption codex’s to prevent eavesdropping, and there is also a micro-holoprojector to present maps and Holonet Transceiver images in 3D to others.

The Jetpack was removed from this particular suit in favour of Sashar using his innate force abilities to reach places normally not accessible on foot. In place of the jetpack, Sashar fitted a small e-suit’s life support system, allowing the armour to be vacuum-rated.

Whilst the suit does come with a helmet (again, done out in matte-dark grey with lighter grey highlights), Sashar usually opts to go without a helmet unless in a starfighter or when he knows he’ll be encountering an environment outside of atmosphere. However, the helmet has all the trimmings, such as a wide-band comm-antenna/jammer which can boost the signal of the wrist unit, a full multi-spectrum HUD with Blue-light, NV and Thermal imaging as well as a small lens fitted in the rear of the helmet to help prevent surprise attacks from the rear. Naturally, the helmet has its own in-built comlink.

The suit also acts as a bio-suit, monitoring Sashar’s physical health in minute detail. If any part of the body is wounded, the suit can administer simple first aid by the use of built-in medicinal autoinjectors and pressure bladders to act as pressure cuffs and splints. Sashar also installed heat sinks and pads into his armour, making sure that the external temperature wouldn’t vastly affect his performance.

The suit is also designed to be linked up to other Mandalorian Armour suits and can display the physical stats of his team-mates, making sure that he can keep an eye on their health levels. As a finishing touch, Sashar has painted on the Mandalorian symbol of the Neo-Crusaders onto the left pectoral plate in ochre paint, signifying his undying fealty to the Kodiak Clan.

===[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/LJ-50_Concussion_Rifle LJ-50 Concussion Rifle]===
[[image:Conc.jpg|thumb|200px|left|LJ-50 Concussion Rifle]]
The weapon, taken from a CSP elite trooper on the Victory Star Destroyer [[Excidium]] during Soulfire Strike Team’s sabotage sortie in the recent clan CSP/Arcona Feud, is Sashar’s personal favourite. Indeed, he often ‘moves’ the weapon from the Soulfire armoury to his room, hoping that the quartermaster, Kieran, won’t notice.

About the size of a carbine, the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Trandoshan Trandoshan]-made weapon doesn’t look very sophisticated, indeed, the weapon looks like someone’s idea of a joke when compared with the high-tech equipment Soulfire Strike Team usually are equipped with. However, the sheer stopping power of the weapon is what attracted Sashar. Able to discharge a blast of pure concussive energy (taking the form of a neon blue ‘bolt’ coruscating with arcs of static energy) that displaces anything within a five meter radius, the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/LJ-50_Concussion_Rifle LJ-50] is also a deadly weapon when it scores a direct hit, as the sheer power of the weapon is often enough to drill through reinforced armour without even losing a tenth of its strength, and when applied to unprotected flesh and skin…well, Sashar has described the after-effects as ‘messy.’

===[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Striker_projectile_pistol Modified Striker Projectile Pistol]===
[[image:striker_projectile_pistol.jpeg|thumb|right|Strike Projectile Pistol]]
The weapon was typically an underpowered slug-thrower; however the Mandalorian had once again modified it well beyond its design specs. The weapon was now loaded with 16 poisonous darts and a custom-build miniature ion projector adhered to the underside of the small barrel. The Ion projector was a custom piece of tech designed and built by Sashar that drew power from the user in a small but steady rate (taking approximately 10 seconds) until the charge was stored in the battery, then released in a single ion bolt that temporarily disabled anything electric it was pointed at, be it lights, cameras, computers or droids.

===[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Verpine_rifle Verpine Projectile Rifle]===
[[image:Verp.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Verpine Projectile Rifle]]
It was short, compact, and expertly tooled. The scope had an anti-reflective scope with no active electronic targeting measures such as a laser sight, making it undetectable by most EM scanners. It also had a multi-load barrel, meaning it could fire just about anything projectile in a pinch; indeed, Sashar kept a lot of different ammunition types back in the crate. The Verpine rifle was also useful in that like most [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Verpine Verpine] weapons it made almost no sound when fired, however it was a sensitive weapon that required very little jarring to decalibrate it, making it unreliable at long ranges. Sashar modified his by building the casing from a more durable and heavy steel alloy so that it could take more rough-housing, but he still had to be gentle with the prized weapon. The Scope had also been modified with a variety of range-finders and vision modes including low light, IR, UV and EM. It was his favourite rifle and cost a small fortune, which is why he’d not mentioned to his clan-mates that he owned such a fine piece of equipment.

===[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/SSK-7_heavy_blaster_pistol SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol]===
[[image:Sashar-SSK-7.jpeg|thumb|200px|right|Sashar's custom SSK-7 Pistol]]
Sashar, upon leaving Soulfire Strike Team for Quaestor, requisitioned an SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol for his own personal use. To start with, he added a silencer and a light filter at the end of the barrel so that in addition to producing a fraction of the sound a normal blaster pistol emits, it also cuts down on the initial ‘flash’ of a blaster being discharged. He then polished the inside of the barrel down to a mirror finish so that the blaster bolt didn’t lose any power before it left the weapon. To make the weapon more versatile, he added a custom feature – an adjustable focusing emitter. Some blasters are over-focused so add more punch, at the sacrifice of some of its range (this modification also wears down on the barrel). Sashar gave the adjusting emitter three settings: close range (so that the maximum amount of energy can be discharged at the target), medium range (standard, effective to the usual levels for a Heavy Blaster Pistol) and long range (under focused so that he may hit targets further away; however he does sacrifice some of the power at this range). He also extended the safety switch, the stun switch, and the semi/fully automatic switches for added comfort, and also added his own custom pattern to the grip so that it slotted in perfectly with the grip on his gloves. Usually, triggers on blasters and projectile weapons require around 4.5 pounds of pressure to fire, but Sashar heightened the sensitivity of his pistol, giving it a mere 3.5 pounds of pressure required to discharge and also added several grip indentations on the trigger so that his finger wouldn’t slip at all. He also lengthened the trigger guard, allowing the finger to more easily slot into place, ready on the trigger. To aid in his aiming, Sashar added a ‘tri-sight’, a single sight at the end of the barrel and two further sights at the back of the barrel, so that he could properly aim using the ‘three-dot’ method. Finally, Sashar filed down the tibanna gas pack entry mechanism, to speed up the reloading time. The weapon is one of a kind and a true testament to Sashar’s abilities as a weapon and armour-smith.

===Sashar's Crate===
Ever the Mandalorian, Sashar made sure to bring a lot of his own ‘gear’ from Dxun that he keeps, conveniently enough, in an armoured cargo crate under his bed.

== Apprentices ==

The Mandalorian Prided himself on his mentorship of his brethren and repeatedly took on apprentices during his tenure in the Brotherhood. Indeed, he spent a large amount of his free time assembling what he has dubbed the ‘Kodiak Holocron’ a collection of training regimens and techniques unique to the Mandalorian to help in his training of some of the clan’s newer members.

===[[Zandro Savric Erinos]]===
Sashar’s first impression of Zandro was an eager, ambitious recruit to Clan Arcona that with a little honing could become a stalwart of the clan. He was right. Zandro proved to excel in every field Sashar tested him in and seemed incredibly at home with a Lightsaber. Zandro also exhibited calmness under fire and charismatic dry sense of humour that made him a brilliant leader. He was also the consummate tactician – in every way Sashar’s prodigy – even going so far as to display an acuity with the rare and difficult art of Battle Meditation. Their newfound familial linkage just strengthened the bond the two shared and they remained close even after Zandro completed his training. Zandro kept going to his older brother Sashar for camaraderie and advice. Zandro was one of the six founding 'Vode Erinos' of the Erinos Family.

===[[Malidir]]===
Sashar’s second apprentice, the human was quietly-spoken, not particularly at home with the more mystic applications o the force, but he had a dedicated grit that meant he would never, ever give up. Indeed, his stamina to keep on fighting relentlessly, leading by example is a source of inspiration to his subordinates. Unfortunately, Sashar was driven from Arcona before he could complete Malidir’s training – something the Mandalorian felt guilty about for a long time. Still, despite this, Malidir and Sashar remained friends - Malidir was one of the six founding 'Vode Erinos' of the Erinos family.

===[[Kieran]]===
Kieran was Sashar’s clan-mate from Dxun and the pair were close even before the Mandalorian took him on as an ‘apprentice’ – though the pair hardly had a master/student dynamic. Indeed, Kieran’s frankness, his black humour and his grim outlook on life speak of someone that rarely listened to authority. Thar ass incorrect however, as the Mandalorian believed in a strong, pronounced chain of command and excelled working in small units such as Soulfire Strike Team. He displayed little ability with offensive force abilities, instead being more adept at augmenting his physical attributes with the force more than anything else. He eventually completed his tutorship with Sashar and the two continued to work closely on various tasks for Galeres, Arcona and the Erinos family. Kieran was one of the six founding 'Vode Erinos' of the Erinos family.

===[[Rho]]===
Not your stereotypical Nagai, Rho and Sashar did no always see eye to eye, yet the Mandalorian cajoled the Nagai into accepting him as a master by showing him the ‘Mandalorian’ way of doing things. This produced mixed results. Whilst Rho was quite the combatant with melee weapons – homage to his Nagai heritage, he took to Soulfire’s blaster-heavy approach to warfare reluctantly. He nevertheless progressed in his application of the dark side as only a Sith could and pointedly disagreed with Sashar on many of the more philosophical debates the pair had when discussing the force, indeed, his ‘Grey Jedi’ stance was dismissed and the Nagai seemed content with the role of the dark side in his life. It was Sashar’s belief that he would make a fine Dark Jedi. Whether or not this is a compliment remains to be seen. Upon Rho's attaining the title of Knight, Sashar built the Nagai a custom suit of armour as a way of displaying his pride for the apprentice that provided him with the most challenge.

===[[Juda]]===
Another of Sashar’s ner’vod from Dxun, Juda looked to Sashar as an older-brother figure and in a blatant disregard for the laws prohibiting it, Sashar took Juda as his apprentice despite already having two others. The Mandalorians worked extremely well together, and unlike Kieran, Juda exhibited a level of control over the force that even Sashar couldn’t quite match up to. He demonstrated a natural affinity as a ‘seer’ – having a force sense that was impressive for such a raw recruit to the force, and also seemed to lean towards healing and regenerative force powers – it was expected that Juda would become a brilliant healer and seer as he progressed down the path of the force user. Sashar’s one concern over his ner’vod was that the red-haired youth would be seduced by the Dark Side – something he was able to avoid with Malidir, Kieran and Zandro. Sashar also decided to use Juda as the apprentice for a trial mentoring scheme, where Juda and Sashar would remain bonded together as master and apprentice until Juda reached the rank of Obelisk Prelate - an 'advanced mentorship.'

===[[Earnest]]===

Earnest, Sashar’s sixth apprentice was taken on reluctantly. The former companion and consummate seducer share a past in that Earnest was the one to ‘take’ Dash Kuatir from the Mandalorian. Nevertheless, he agreed to tutor the Jedi Hunter late in his ascension through the ranks to make him a better asset to Arcona. The pair are often found sparring as it is in direct combat that Earnest needs the most tutelage. Curiously, despite Sashar’s urgings, Earnest has shunned all forms of lightsaber combat, forcing him to rely on the more mystic applications of the Force for protection.

===[[Illian Syn]]===

Sashar’s seventh apprentice, Illian was a transfer from [[Taldryan]] that craved a mentor able to challenge them both mentally and physically. The Exarch, upon hearing that Illian required an experienced Master took it upon himself to train him, both to reinforce Arcona’s focus and attention on all of their members, regardless of previous affiliation and to temper some of Illian’s more psychotic urges. While the two are often at loggerheads due to their vastly different views on team-work and Clan fealty, it is hoped that before Illian faces the trials that they will be able to form a compromise of sorts.

''"Let’s fight to fight, not to kill. We shall fight because we are friends, because we are opponents, and because we are. Have at you."'' - Sashar to Selene d'Tana, during an ACC match.

A soldier. A warrior. A survivor. Above all else, these are the three defining characteristics of the man known as Sashar.

== History ==
=== Tragic Beginnings ===

Born upon Onderon, this human's life would start with tragedy. The transport carrying Sashar and his birth family suffered a critical malfunction, causing it to crash upon the jungle moon of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dxun Dxun]. No information on the crash or the passengers and crew was ever recorded, and so nothing was known of Sashar's blood family. Miraculously, the 6 month old infant survived the crash.

His life would have ended there had it not been for the timely arrival of the Patriarch of the Kodiak Clan. Happening upon the wailing child in the wilderness, the Patriarch decided to take Sashar with him. Perhaps it was the close proximity with which the transport crashed to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neo-Crusader_headquarters Mandalorian camp], or perhaps it was that a child capable of surviving a crash that killed so many adults should be able to endure what would come next. In any event, what came next was to be raised as a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mandalorian Mandalorian].

Like with so many other "Mandalorians," Sashar was an orphan raised as one of them. And being raised a Mandalorian meant that he underwent the same grueling training and labor as his brothers and sisters. And like all Mandalorians, Sashar was fiercely loyal to his family, and so even as he surpassed his brothers and sisters in training, not once did it cause friction amongst them. The bond between family and clan was incredibly strong. And not even hubris or bravado could break it, yet none would be forthcoming from the boy who put his family before himself.

But, still life would change things – as it always does. At nine, the young Sashar had visions and nightmares of a giant, dark and foreboding structure calling him into the depths of the jungle. Troubled, he told his father of these visions. After much discussion with the elders and leaders of the Clan, it was surmised that the young Sashar had nascent ties to the Force. The information was kept from him, to keep him from believing he was different from his siblings and cousins.

Once more life's current would sweep Sashar up, leaving the past floating behind. Sashar was keyed for more rigorous training in leadership, tactical command and grand strategy. It was hoped that Sashar would one day take part in a grand campaign – a great Mandalorian Army. Still, life would not let the young boy fulfill the desires of his family. Sashar and his brother, [[Kieran]], were inseparable. The two wreaked much havoc and caused much mischief within the Clan's enclave. Breaking into the Clan's archives, the two discovered their father's journal and his account of the discussion with the leaders of the Clan. That Sashar was sensitive to the Force. Immediately, the two youths set off. Commandeering one of the Clan's transports and making their way from the moon Dxun to the planet Onderon. At the temple, dark side entities accosted Sashar's mind. It was only through Kieran's intervention that Sashar arrived, dragging his comatose brother away from the temple and back to Dxun. Sashar would remain in a coma for more than a month.

The youth awoke distracted. Upon his return to consciousness, he proceeded to fall ever further behind in his studies. No one knew what plagued him, Sashar keeps mute about the affair, perhaps he himself did not know the reason for his distraction. In any event, he quickly was shuffled away from Super-Commando training and put into more technical aspects. And still the distractions continued. After a series of minor mishaps due to his distractions, Kieran took his brother once more to the tomb. There, Sashar came face to face with his eldritch demons and emerged from the tomb much more somber.

=== Chrysalis ===

The second trip to the temple brought out something much darker and much more ferocious in Sashar. His efforts in training were redoubled and he was returned to Super-Commando training. It was not only in his training that he became more ruthless, but he developed a disturbing and quiet insight on how best to proceed with interrogations, when someone was lying and how to cause the most damage in a situation with the least effort. Troubled by this turn of events, it was decided that Sashar would be sent to Eos, there to learn the ways of the Dark Jedi – the ways of the Sith.

Within the Brotherhood, Sashar rose quickly. Assigned to Clan Alvaak, the Mandalorian rose to Knighthood within a year. From there, he took up command of a squadron of fighters for the Clan, as well as taking on his first apprentice - a young Sith called [[Zandro Savric Erinos]]. A rising star, he eventually became a Sith Battlemaster, and [[Aedile]] of his House, while in Alvaak. Unfortunately, as is with life, the path he was currently on would be derailed once more. This time, forces beyond him would conspire. Members of the Brotherhood's Star Chamber and other prominent Elders chafed and balked at the liberties taken against their order and severed all ties to their sister organization – The Emperor's Hammer. The Hammer, one of many Imperial Remnant factions, acted quickly to staunch the hemorrhaging of talented Dark Siders from their ranks. Sashar and his command, Sentinel Squadron, were ordered to halt any attempting to secede from Alvaak. Sashar, however, would stay his own hand, unable to fire upon compatriots and those he grew to trust, and consider "ner'vod" - siblings. He was summarily stripped of his rank and charge and exiled from Imperial space.

Without a place in the Empire, Sashar returned home rather than joining the Separatists. There he spent time meditating and conversing with the Elders of his Kodiak Clan. It was decided that he should instead venture once more out into the Galaxy, and learn more of the life that existed away from the cloistered Halls of the Sith, Krath and Obelisk. He would in his journeys, eventually stumble across the Bounty Hunter's Guild. There he would find new comrades in a group known as the Phoenix Kabal. Within the Kabal, he grew close to Dash Kuatir – a Kuati youth renown as both a marksman and a sharpshooter. The two would get into a great deal of trouble as well, as the brash young Kuati complimented the much more stoic Mandalorian. The two would in fact enter into a relationship for a number of years.

Eventually, Sashar would join the Seperatist Brotherhood, and would join [[Clan Arcona]]. As is with all things, Sashar made friends, allies and enemies within Arcona. Instrumental in the Selen Incident, Sashar also aided in molding [[Soulfire Strike Team]], utilizing his training on Dxun. The Mandalorian made a name for himself in the Arcona/[[Taldryan]] Feud, even though Arcona came off worse in that particular engagement. Eventually, he would be promoted to Aedile of House Galeres, and took on two apprentices [[Malidir]] and his own brother [[Kieran]]. Both would rise steadily. Sashar would leave however, after he was sacked by his own Quaestor – acting under the direction and request of those outside of Arcona.

===Revelations===

Sashar spent the time productively. He took an extended LoA with Zandro and his first apprentices brother, [[Xayun Erinos]] to help Zandro avenge his former fiancé’s death at the hands of Pirates. Sashar and Xayun worked closely during the incursion into the Pirate base, finding that their different force philosophies complemented each other – the Prelate put it down to their both being Mandalorians. However, a chance meeting of Xayun and Zandro’s sisters in the command centre of the facility. Sashar watched as the two brothers cut down their own flesh and blood – a disturbing sight for the grey Jedi who had always hoped that his first apprentice would follow his ethos in the force.

After the conflict, the trio travelled to the Erinos family home on Yaga Minor. The mother of the two Erinos brothers, upon laying eyes on Sashar, divulged a confession. The Mandalorian was her son – she had had a child before meeting Zandro and Xayun’s father, and the father of the child had insisted that he be taken to a Mandalorian Clan to be brought up a warrior. Not wanting children at the time, their mother had agreed and had heard that the transport carrying Sashar and his father had crashed and assumed that all aboard were killed. Sashar apparently was the spitting image of his father, thus explaining their mother’s reaction. Whilst it was shocking to discover that Zandro, Xayun and Sashar were all related, it was, for the Mandalorian not entirely unexpected – his Force Chain with Zandro when they were training was a testament to that.

Sashar could not enjoy any time with his mother for two reasons: First, neither the mother or the father of the Erinos Boys seemed too keen on dredging up the past, and the Mandalorian was to be recalled by Strategos Entar, the former [[Proconsul]], now [[Consul]], of Clan Arcona. He would be asked to return, but rather than rejoin Arcona, be asked to join The Clan of Death – [[Tarentum]].

This transfer was short-lived. While Sashar felt at home and at ease with the more military-orientated mindset of clan Tarentum, he desperately missed his ner’vod in Arcona. He rushed through the assignment given to him by the Consul of Arcona and returned to [[Dajorra]]. This was not before making the acquaintance of one [[Oberst]] - the Marshal of Tarentum's military assets. Their single encounter would leave quite an impression on the Mandalorian. Again, he rejoined Soulfire Strike Team and was elated to discover that his second apprentice, Malidir, had completed his training under a different master and was now a Knight.

In a secret ceremony known only to a few Sashar was named ‘Centurion’ of Arcona – a position given to the most loyal to the Consul who would act as his Bodyguard and commander of Arcona’s Special Forces. Sashar immediately set to work training a unit of ‘mundanes’ to combat force users and nicknamed them the Sentinels - a homeage to his first command. He equipped them with superior gear to their compatriots in the Arcona Armed forces and made sure they could pilot all of Clan Arcona’s ships should they need to.

===Onslaught===

Unrest would spread through Arcona once again and soon there was a vacuum of power in House Galeres when Selene d’Tana, formerly one of the most trusted members of clan Arcona and a prodigy of [[Shadowcrafting]], abruptly upped and left. Malidir was promoted to Quaestor and Sashar’s first apprentice, Zandro Savric Erinos was given back command of Soulfire Strike Team. Sashar took on another apprentice in addition to his brother Kieran – the [http://starwars.wikia.com/Nagai Nagai] known as [[Rho]]. Shortly thereafter there was a series of skirmishes between [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] and Clan Arcona. Soulfire was able to put their new gear designed by Sashar and Kieran to use and their first tour of duty as a reformed unit was a success, however the unit did suffer losses, and was somewhat depleted. To combat this, Sashar sent out a call through the force for one of his ner’vod on Dxun – [[Juda]]. The Mandalorian answered the call and made his way to the Dajorra System (much to the dismay of the Clan Kodiak Elders). He was immediately placed in Soulfire Strike Team and kept explicitly away from the Shadow Academy – Sashar didn’t want Juda being warped by the Dark Side of the Force. Instead, he took Juda under his wing as an apprentice in everything but name – he still had Kieran and Rho’s training to complete and the Clan Summit would surely never allow him to take on a third; Sashar, however, was of the mindset that what the Summit did not know could not hurt them.

Soulfire Strike Team was still less than full strength when the Rite of Supremacy began. Whilst initially faring well, Soulfire, like the rest of Arcona and indeed the Brotherhood, found themselves simply unable to match the sheer weight of numbers and left the Rite of Supremacy demoralized, however the failure was a crucible of sorts – it did forge the Clan in general and Soulfire in particular closer together, giving them a common enemy to fight against. Sashar finally also took on the duties of Clan Envoy during the Rite of Supremacy.

The Shadow Clan was not to have a redoubt. Bare days after the conclusion of the Rite of Supremacy a Hutt Armada led by the Besadii Clan invaded the [[Dajorra System]]. Sashar and Soulfire were immediately sent to [[Eldar]] to hold an area of dense forest being used by the invading Hutt forces to land the majority of their Mechanised units and Walkers. The Commando team were pulled out before they could complete their mission by an urgent call from the Consul – the attack on Eldar was a feint, and the Hutt’s real target was [[Selen]].

Soulfire were brought back to the [[ACC Thanatos]] and quickly briefed on their mission – to retake the spaceport being used as a main landing area for the Hutt forces whilst their Sergeant, Zandro, was sent on a recon mission, utilising his singular experience in a TIE Phantom. Sashar was given command of the squad. Again, Soulfire were in their element and even went as far as taking down a Gallofree transport and two AT-AT’s (one with the aid of air support from Zandro), however they were struck a double blow when first Wolv was killed by a blast from the second AT-AT. The shock of the death through the battle meld caused both Sashar and Zandro to lose their cool (a rare occurrence). Whilst Sashar had his comrades to back him up and bring him down from his blood drunk craze, Zandro wasn’t so lucky. Sashar’s first apprentice was captured.

Once Again, Soulfire was picked up mid-way through their mission and together with the Consul assaulted Decca the Hutt’s stronghold in Arcona’s Capital – coincidentally where Zandro was being held. In one fell swoop Soulfire freed their Sergeant and killed off the Hutt leader – thereby ending the threat to Clan Arcona and the Dajorra system.

For his bravery in the Hutt Invasion and his completion of the Trials set out before him, Kieran was promoted to Dark Jedi Knight, joining Sashar as a Knight of Arcona. After the Hutt Invasion, Arcona entered a period of relative peace. [[House Galeres]]’ [[Quaestor]] stepped down and Sashar was appointed the role for his work as Clan Envoy and his repeated dedication during Soulfire’s numerous tours of duty.

===Building a Better Future===
[[image:Erinos_Family2.JPG|thumb|400px|right|The 'Vode Erinos']]
During this relatively quiet time, Sashar, Xayun and Zandro embarked on a project; to form their own Mandalorian clan – The [[Erinos]] Family. They realised that to accomplish this, they’d need to recruit from outside and so made sure to offer the first 6 founding ‘places’ to their friends who had displayed an uncanny edge in combat – Kieran, Juda, and Malidir. Once they had established a core member base of force sensitivies – five of six who were Mandalorian – The Erinos brothers set out to create a small colony on the Arcona-held world of [[Arconae Primus]] – to that end, Zandro and Xayun sought out the raw materials for the colony such as pre-fab buildings and construction/farming droids whilst Kieran and Malidir returned to Dxun to offer some families from the Kodiak clan the chance to be part of a new Mandalorian Clan. They returned with 70 men and women, and work was started to establish this blossoming family.

Soon, others were welcomed into the Erinos fold, partially because of their warrior prowess, and also to strengthen the bond blossoming between Clan Tarentum and Clan Arcona. However, before the neophyte family could settle, the Seventh [[Great Jedi War]] washed through the Brotherhood, with devastating results.

Before the invasion of [[Antei]], Galeres only saw one brief conflict with the Vong – specifically when Sashar led a contingent of Galeres to the planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/Krant Krant] and eradicated a nest of peace Brigaders that had taken up residence inside an ancient Sith Temple. Sashar used the attack to cover his own entry and went through his own personal duel with the Shadow-wraith Malachi – a duel that left him with a cursed right arm, his skin turned jet black up to the shoulder, however the lost pages of the Abyssal Tome were retrieved, and Sashar found that his right arm was curiously better at channelling his latent Shadowcrafting abilities, however to conceal this alteration from his peers, he made sure to wear a black glove – he was not yet ready to assume the mantle of Shade Warrior.

Further, upon returning to Dajorra he discovered that there had been an assassination attempt on the Consul Strategos Entar. Intelligence Analysts from Arcona’s military discerned that the Taanis Syndicate, a supplier of bulk transports for Arcona, was behind it. Sashar led a team to [[Sukhur]], where the Taanis syndicate were holed up to apprehend the culprits, and let his ner’vode into battle with a savagery he’d seldom displayed before. Indeed, it was during the Vitriol operation that the Mandalorian first used his Shadowcrafting abilities in combat.

===Ruin===

Straight after, Arcona was summonned along with the other clans to Antei.

Much of the Brotherhood’s military strength was located around Antei for an award ceremony to commemorate the recent [[Rite of Supremacy]] and as such, much of the Brotherhood’s military strength was scuttled when the [http://starwars.wikia.com/Yuuzhan_Vong Yuuzhan Vong] swept in with unknown ships, unpredictable technology and superior numbers. The clans were decimated and scattered into the [[Shroud]].

Sashar, Zandro and Kieran were thrown into the chaos as their Consul sent them back into the fray to the VSD [[Vae Victus]] in efforts to ascertain the fate of the Deputy Grand Master. The trio of Mandalorians were escorted through the maelstrom by Juda and Bendak, two of Soulfire Strike Team’s best pilots. Unfortunately, only Juda survived to get his charges to the dying Destroyer.

The trio met with fierce combat on-board the dying ship and Yuuzhan Vong warriors were already overrunning the defences. The bridge was lost before their feet touched the Hangar floor and the Vode Erinos instead shifted their mission profile – hurt the Vong and deny them the capture of one of the Brotherhood’s more powerful craft. They battled their way to the Reactor Core and set the ship to blow up. The trio escaped via an escape pod (sacrificing the Clan’s Diplomatic Yacht, Serenity in the process) and were stranded in the darkness of the shroud. Unfortunately, they had to sit out the rest of the initial conflict around Dajorra until a patrol from clan Tarentum found their escape pod. From there, they were escorted to the Clan’s Marshal and shipped back to Dajorra, where Arcona was regrouping. The Arconan military had reacted brilliantly to the threat the Yuuzhan Vong posed. Rather than attempt to combat a threat with virtually no naval strength, the remaining forces had withdrawn to Arcona’s last stand – a contingency set in place by Sashar himself – they had retreated to Sukhur and awaited the return of the battered remnants of Arcona’s forces.

After the dust had settled, Sashar was appointed a senior military aide for the purpose of aiding the new consul, [[Mejas Doto]], and helped re-organise the newly minted taskforce assigned to Arcona into a fighting force that could both defend Dajorra and combat the threat the Vong represented. However, due to his being unable to fight with his brothers for most of the Antei conflict, he felt he was no longer fit for command and resigned as Quaestor, returning to Soulfire. This, coupled with his having a disagreement with the new Knight Commander of the Brotherhood left him without any pull on the Clan Summit – a situation he was grateful for. Nevertheless, Sashar was above all a survivor and set plans in motion to ensure the survival of both the Erinos Pride and Soulfire Strike team.

Mejas’s surprise reappearance in Arcona and unprecedented appointment as Consul alarmed the Mandalorian and prompted him to prepare a safe home in Tarentum for the Erinos family, however this was a last resort - to do so would likely damage the clan irreparably. Instead, Sashar took it upon himself to approach the Shadow Lord and act as his advisor, bringing Mejas Doto up to speed on member histories, recent events and the potential ramifications of some of his more radical reforms. The partnership blossomed and it didn’t take long for the Shadow Lord to appoint Sashar as his de-facto right arm.

A brief tour of the [[Shroud]] in the newly completed [[ISD-II Eye of the Abyss II|Eye of the Abyss II]] searching for survivors from the recent Antei conflict let the clan regain some confidence and bolster its members. As Sashar was still officially attached to Soulfire, he accompanied them on the hellish excursion to a derelict observation platform to rescue a motley collection of surviving Dark Jedi who had stumbled across the platform as they fled Antei. Unfortunately the Yuuzhan Vong had found them too.

Soulfire, as always, fought bravely and succeeded in extracting the stragglers, however the Exarch was captured and briefly tortured before his ner’vod could retrieve him.

Upon returning to the ''Abyss'', Sashar was rushed to the medical ward and his own apprentice Juda operated on him to save his vision, grafting in a pair of prosthetic eyes for the short term until a more suitable replacement could be found. The Mandalorian was unperturbed by his capture and temporary loss of sight and carried on assisting Mejas during the tumultuous Resurrection of Arcona, where every single summit member in the clan was stripped of their position and forced through the Rite. Soulfire was once again called on to assist the Consul, hunting through the [[Shadowcrafting#Level_10:_Darkest_Night|Darkest Night]] cloud the Shadow Lord created about Qel-Droma’s temple and the Exarch was placed as a last guard for anyone that could make it through the Shadowcrafted arena. Only one made it as far as him – Timeros, former Consul and deserter.

Sashar and Timeros engaged in a brief duel, however the Mandalorian was rested and prepared – he took the Heregan’s arm and sent him tumbling back into the dark maelstrom. A body was never recovered.

With his being confirmed the Proconsul of Arcona, Sashar sought to fully exploit his new position. His first act was to request that the Shadow Lord tutor him in the ways of Shadowcrafting so that he may one day attain mastery of the secretive art. His second was to fix the problem of his eyes. Mejas Doto and Juda Erinos worked together to clone a pair of eyes that were imbued with the force. This meant that in addition to granting the Mandalorian his usual sight, he was also able to see well in complete darkness (a homage to his Shadowcrafting) and also occasionally see currents and shatterpoints in the force. The eyes, unlike his originals, were a dark blue with an unusual pupil pattern, signifying their cloned nature.

===For Arcona===

Sashar’s time settling into Proconsul was spent well. He worked closely with Oberst and other members of the Tarentum Summit to forge a treaty of alliance between the two maverick clans. Dubbed the [[Treaty of Kessel]], it bonded them together, with the Erinos the driving force behind the scenes to pair the clans together. Immediately following this, the Exarch spearheaded a ‘Great Hunt’ for Arcona in an effort to aid the Tarentum/Arcona research efforts – namely, he intended to capture a live Terentatek. The Hunt was a success and Sashar had the specimen moved to ‘The Project’ on [[Boral]] – the former location of Kaek’s terraforming project that had fallen under during the GJW as the budget was needed to re-build the military.

With Sashar’s ascension as Shadow Scion, he was also granted the title of di Tenebrous Arcona – on the condition that he renounce his allegiance with the Erinos family and swear a blood oath of fealty to his clan. Reluctantly, Sashar agreed and convened the first Erinos convocation, where he passed on the role of Patriarch to Malidir. Secretly, Sashar had no intention of abandoning his family, however he was only confident in his own ability to deceive Mejas – he couldn’t be sure that the Shadow Lord would rip the information from his brother’s heads. As such, it was the first time the Mandalorian had ever been truly alone. For completing this ‘test’ of his allegiance, Sashar was also granted a Sapphire Blade.

== Appearance ==
[[image:Sashar_face.jpeg|200px|left]]
Sashar stands at an even six feet and takes every caution to appear as bland and unremarkable as possible (after all, individuals attract fire). With an even tan formed from a lifetime outside and dark hair that varies in length and tone from a military crew cut to just brushing his shoulders in times of extended conflict, he has the look of a man barely reaching adulthood that has nevertheless seen too much of war and has left its mark.

His eyes were a warm dark brown that belied the compassion he still felt; indeed it was through his eyes that one can see he wasn’t a true dark Jedi. His love for battle is in the act itself – not in the ramifications or delivering death. However After his appointment as Proconsul and loss of his original eyes, he has been gifted with something a little more special.

In terms of identifying marks, beyond the usual cuts and scrapes life gives a person (and obviously his eyes), there is only one: his right arm. The skin is tainted black as pitch up to the shoulder, where the jagged darkness gives way to unblemished skin. This marring was received just prior to the eighth Great Jedi War, where Sashar took on the Shadow Wraith Malachi in the Sith Temple on Krant, reaching into the abyss itself to tear free the lost pages of the Abyssal Tome from the thief. Touching such blighted space left its mark on the Mandalorian he will not soon be rid of. Curiously, his Shadowcrafting is strongest when he gestures with his right arm.

With a muscled, compact form and board shoulders with very little body fat spread over his form, he is lightly haired and well groomed. In times of war, a dusting of stubble sprinkled across his face isn’t uncommon.

His only piece of jewellery is the ‘Star of Dajorra’ – a silver necklace hung about his neck holding a small glass marble with a shining light encased within. The light, upon careful inspection, is an exact replica of the Star Dajorra. This award was bestowed upon Sashar for his work in helping augment the training of Arcona’s Military forces, making them a more effective fighting force with lectures and talks on Battle Psychology.

=== Ayumarka Eyes ===
[[image:Sashar-eyes.jpeg|200px|left]]
Sashar’s eyes are cloned and engineered to allow him to see as he previously did, as well as granting him near perfect vision in pitch darkness. Added to this, the Consul Mejas Doto imbued an amount of force energy into the eyes, allowing their owner to occasionally see currents and shatterpoints in the force. The eyes, unlike his originals, are a dark blue with an unusual tri-pointed pupil pattern, signifying their special nature.

== Psychological Profile ==
The Mandalorian is somewhat of a contradiction, even to himself. His strong sense of a warrior’s honour seems to drive his moral decisions – indeed it features strongly in his philosophy of the force. By his own admission, he refers to himself as a Grey Jedi – a dangerous title for someone in the Dark Brotherhood. This endeavour for an ‘honourable’ life is countered by his growing strength in the force – he finds himself questioning the Mandalorian drive for war. Indeed, he is starting to see his Mandalorian way of life impractical at times, and looks to the force to aid him towards the ‘greater good.’ It remains to be seen how this internal strife will manifest itself.

His loyalties however, aren’t affected by his conflicting morals and dark temptation. His Family, his House, his Clan and a few select others he would gladly give his life for – the Mandalorian’s family orientated culture being the driving force behind that mentality. Outside of the close circle his trusts, he ranges from respectful (to those he views as competent warriors) to openly scornful (to those he views as cowards; those who don’t fight with honour). This doesn’t lend itself easily to strangers – that is not to say that the Mandalorian can’t be charming, polite and dapper; merely that he chooses not to be amongst his peers in the Brotherhood.

== The Force ==

Sashar’s application of the force is, like his fighting style, spartan. He will only expend the energy needed to complete the task presented before him, be it defeating an opposing force user or knocking down a reinforced door. He is at home using the force in many aspects – indeed he is quite the Knight, however he has paid particular attention to his cultivation of Battle-Melds. His work with Soulfire only helped him improve this singular talent and he considers it his latent leaning in the force. Some are healers, some are seers; Sashar can forge Battle Melds.

Again, with his philosophy being that of a Grey Jedi and Sashar embracing the Potentium view of the force, he is not squeamish about using the force’s more offensive powers if the end result is what he sees ‘the greater good.’

A disturbing private lust for knowledge has driven Sashar to embrace his clan’s art of Shadow-crafting – an art he before shunned as dishonourable. ‘Mandalorians should fight worthy opponents face to face’ ad nauseum. He is quite adept at the ancient art, however tries to downplay that particular base of knowledge; only the Consul knows how far he has truly progressed.

== Combat ==
In combat, Sashar is very much the Mandalorian’s Mandalorian. He is unafraid to make a mess, accepts collateral damage with a shrug and displays a nonchalance to the various tools he uses to disassemble sentients that startles those who encounter him. His fighting style is no-nonsense, not big on flashy demonstrations of power or skill, instead expanding just enough energy to get the job done, at least when it comes to melee or hand-to-hand fighting. However, his use of high-yield explosives can best be surmised in his own words: “P for Plenty.”

Being trained in small unit tactics since being a toddler, he is incredibly comfortable with a wide variety of blaster weapons, and has also taken it upon himself to modify the ‘gear’ he owns to better suit his needs. Likewise, he worked closely with his brother to help design the Soulfire Neo-Crusader armour to be optimised for a small commando unit who regularly face force users of greater rank and skill. As such, he isn’t afraid to use technology, tools and gadgets in his line of work and sneers at those who think that the Lightsaber is the only weapon they’ll ever need. That isn’t to say that he doesn’t respect lightsaber combat – indeed he is quite the swordsman – but he also is of the belief that there are times and places for the antiquated weapon.

As Soulfire’s former Tech specialist, the Mandalorian is also quite at home with various forms of electronic warfare and spends a lot of his down time when not practicing or attending to his various duties in the clan ‘tinkering’ with various pieces of technology or weaponry to better them.

===Lightsaber Combat===

'''Primary Form:'''[[Soresu]] 
'''Secondary Form:'''[[Djem So]] 
'''Tertiary Form:''' [[Shii-Cho]]

Sashar’s lightsaber style is, put simply, brutally utilitarian. A master of [[Soresu]], Sashar’s defence is legendary in Arcona. He practices daily, constantly striving to improve his form. Of particular note is fluid approach to the form, maintaining a stoic even-footed defence that allows him to implement his signature move – ‘Mighty Guard’ where he can combat up to 12 strikes a second – a prowess he displayed during the second [[Rite of Supremacy]] and the recent invasion of the Dajorra System by the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Besadii Besadii] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kajidic Kajidic].

The Mandalorian is also a follower of [[Djem So]], and often switches to the fifth form to throw antagonists off when they expect him to hold back and try to keep them at bay with his third form defence. Sashar switches between the forms as easily as he would change from a jog to a walk and it is often seen to combine the two forms to further confound his opponents. The staccato movements of Djem So are similar to Soresu, thus allowing Sashar to almost present a fusion of the forms – he hopes to one day do just that. It is also worthy of note that Sashar has practiced duelling with Shii-Cho; but only so that he may better get to know Djem So.

As an [[Obelisk]], it should be noted that Sashar is no at all limited to lightsaber combat, and often only draws his saber as a last resort, instead preferring to use more conventional weapons such as blasters, explosives or his fists before closing to melee range.

== Gear ==
===Cross Saber===
[[image:1612-saber.jpeg|thumb|200px|right|Sashar's former Lightsaber]]
Sashar constructed his third lightsaber after his second lightsaber, a claymore he christened the ''Violet Vendetta'' was confiscated upon his banishment from Clan Alvaak. This saber was hastily constructed whilst the Mandalorian was travelling the galaxy, and as such assembled using whatever components he could lay his hands on, rather in the specialised workshops provided by Arcona. A bit too heavy for Sashar’s liking, the pommel has little decoration or grip, instead only offering the wielder something solid and unencumbered to hold onto. With only a single Agedan crystal contained within, the blade is uncomplicated and not aimed at tackling any single type of threat, be it blaster fire or other lightsabers. Sashar lost the blade during a duel in the Taldryan/Arcona feud, however he reclaimed it after the engagement. After the feud, Sashar started work on the ''Fraternity'' and now keeps his teal blade in his quarters, strictly as a backup weapon should the ''Fraternity'' be lost.

===Fraternity===
[[image:Sashar-saber.gif|thumb|200px|left|Sashar's Lightsaber]]
It took nearly a month to make. The delicately tooled bronze and dark chromium exterior contradict with Sashar’s true disposition of being a no-nonsense fighter, not interested in flair and pomp, however, though never admitting it, the Mandalorian could have simply taken great pride (as he does with all of his weapons and tools) in its construction and wanted to display his fierce pride of the weapon in its aesthetics.

Sashar spent a while acquiring the parts he needed for the ''Fraternity'', most notably the crystals. The primary crystal, the crystal which grants the saber its rusty orange colour was bought from an artisan that had been to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mustafar Mustafar] and somehow acquired the crystal through less than legal means. It took Sashar nearly all of the month to get the funds together to pay a deposit on the rare Mustafarian [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lava_crystal Lava Crystal], and less than ten seconds to threaten the Artisan into giving him the crystal for free, and his money back as a gesture of good faith. Whilst taking no pleasure in this bullying of a hapless civilian, Sashar did acknowledge that it was necessary to acquire that crystal for his saber, and as such justifies it ‘for the greater good.’

The two focusing crystals were another story altogether. The pure black [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Krayt_Dragon_Pearl Krayt Dragon Pearl] was a gift from the Arcona Consul Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae to one of his closest retainers and it was given with the hint that it might be useful in Shadowcrafting – the Clan Arcona focus. Sashar installed the pearl into the saber and found that Shadowcrafting was indeed a little easier when he focused on the jet black Krayt Dragon Pearl nestled in his lightsaber.

Finally, the last crystal that went into the ''Fraternity'' was a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lorrdian_Gemstone Lorrdian Gemstone], chosen for its use in focusing the mind into predicting attack patterns and when combined with a lightsaber, aiding the wielder in deflecting blaster bolts with the arcane weapon. As a regular practitioner of the Third form, Soresu, Sashar felt that this was a must and he was able to acquire one from the lightsaber of a felled opponent from the Arcona/Taldryan Clan Feud.

The name of the lightsaber was a reminder of Sashar’s heritage – to remind the Mandalorian that his ner’vod had helped him come this far in life, and it was his duty to do the same in return. To that end, Sashar often thought of the lightsaber more as a token to represent his brothers (both Mandalorian and adopted) than a weapon.

Sashar is a master of [[Soresu]].

===Armour===
[[image:Sashar-Armour.jpeg|thumb|200px|right|Sashar's Armour]]
[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mandalorian_Armor Mandalorian Armour] cuts an intimidating sight, and Sashar’s is no exception. Half hidden usually beneath the folds of his grey outer robe, Sashar opted for armour to be painted a matte grey with a black bodysuit underneath. All offensive weaponry usually concealed about the Mandalorian suit has been removed. Instead, the suit has been made as light as possible and as ‘free’ as it can to give the Mandalorian the maximum of dexterity in combat. In the left gauntlet there is a miniature Datapad/comlink combi complete with tactical encryption codex’s to prevent eavesdropping, and there is also a micro-holoprojector to present maps and Holonet Transceiver images in 3D to others.

The Jetpack was removed from this particular suit in favour of Sashar using his innate force abilities to reach places normally not accessible on foot. In place of the jetpack, Sashar fitted a small e-suit’s life support system, allowing the armour to be vacuum-rated.

Whilst the suit does come with a helmet (again, done out in matte-dark grey with lighter grey highlights), Sashar usually opts to go without a helmet unless in a starfighter or when he knows he’ll be encountering an environment outside of atmosphere. However, the helmet has all the trimmings, such as a wide-band comm-antenna/jammer which can boost the signal of the wrist unit, a full multi-spectrum HUD with Blue-light, NV and Thermal imaging as well as a small lens fitted in the rear of the helmet to help prevent surprise attacks from the rear. Naturally, the helmet has its own in-built comlink.

The suit also acts as a bio-suit, monitoring Sashar’s physical health in minute detail. If any part of the body is wounded, the suit can administer simple first aid by the use of built-in medicinal autoinjectors and pressure bladders to act as pressure cuffs and splints. Sashar also installed heat sinks and pads into his armour, making sure that the external temperature wouldn’t vastly affect his performance.

The suit is also designed to be linked up to other Mandalorian Armour suits and can display the physical stats of his team-mates, making sure that he can keep an eye on their health levels. As a finishing touch, Sashar has painted on the Mandalorian symbol of the Neo-Crusaders onto the left pectoral plate in ochre paint, signifying his undying fealty to the Kodiak Clan.

===[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/LJ-50_Concussion_Rifle LJ-50 Concussion Rifle]===
[[image:Conc.jpg|thumb|200px|left|LJ-50 Concussion Rifle]]
The weapon, taken from a CSP elite trooper on the Victory Star Destroyer [[Excidium]] during Soulfire Strike Team’s sabotage sortie in the recent clan CSP/Arcona Feud, is Sashar’s personal favourite. Indeed, he often ‘moves’ the weapon from the Soulfire armoury to his room, hoping that the quartermaster, Kieran, won’t notice.

About the size of a carbine, the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Trandoshan Trandoshan]-made weapon doesn’t look very sophisticated, indeed, the weapon looks like someone’s idea of a joke when compared with the high-tech equipment Soulfire Strike Team usually are equipped with. However, the sheer stopping power of the weapon is what attracted Sashar. Able to discharge a blast of pure concussive energy (taking the form of a neon blue ‘bolt’ coruscating with arcs of static energy) that displaces anything within a five meter radius, the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/LJ-50_Concussion_Rifle LJ-50] is also a deadly weapon when it scores a direct hit, as the sheer power of the weapon is often enough to drill through reinforced armour without even losing a tenth of its strength, and when applied to unprotected flesh and skin…well, Sashar has described the after-effects as ‘messy.’

===[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Striker_projectile_pistol Modified Striker Projectile Pistol]===
[[image:striker_projectile_pistol.jpeg|thumb|right|Strike Projectile Pistol]]
The weapon was typically an underpowered slug-thrower; however the Mandalorian had once again modified it well beyond its design specs. The weapon was now loaded with 16 poisonous darts and a custom-build miniature ion projector adhered to the underside of the small barrel. The Ion projector was a custom piece of tech designed and built by Sashar that drew power from the user in a small but steady rate (taking approximately 10 seconds) until the charge was stored in the battery, then released in a single ion bolt that temporarily disabled anything electric it was pointed at, be it lights, cameras, computers or droids.

===[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Verpine_rifle Verpine Projectile Rifle]===
[[image:Verp.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Verpine Projectile Rifle]]
It was short, compact, and expertly tooled. The scope had an anti-reflective scope with no active electronic targeting measures such as a laser sight, making it undetectable by most EM scanners. It also had a multi-load barrel, meaning it could fire just about anything projectile in a pinch; indeed, Sashar kept a lot of different ammunition types back in the crate. The Verpine rifle was also useful in that like most [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Verpine Verpine] weapons it made almost no sound when fired, however it was a sensitive weapon that required very little jarring to decalibrate it, making it unreliable at long ranges. Sashar modified his by building the casing from a more durable and heavy steel alloy so that it could take more rough-housing, but he still had to be gentle with the prized weapon. The Scope had also been modified with a variety of range-finders and vision modes including low light, IR, UV and EM. It was his favourite rifle and cost a small fortune, which is why he’d not mentioned to his clan-mates that he owned such a fine piece of equipment.

===[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/SSK-7_heavy_blaster_pistol SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol]===
[[image:Sashar-SSK-7.jpeg|thumb|200px|right|Sashar's custom SSK-7 Pistol]]
Sashar, upon leaving Soulfire Strike Team for Quaestor, requisitioned an SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol for his own personal use. To start with, he added a silencer and a light filter at the end of the barrel so that in addition to producing a fraction of the sound a normal blaster pistol emits, it also cuts down on the initial ‘flash’ of a blaster being discharged. He then polished the inside of the barrel down to a mirror finish so that the blaster bolt didn’t lose any power before it left the weapon. To make the weapon more versatile, he added a custom feature – an adjustable focusing emitter. Some blasters are over-focused so add more punch, at the sacrifice of some of its range (this modification also wears down on the barrel). Sashar gave the adjusting emitter three settings: close range (so that the maximum amount of energy can be discharged at the target), medium range (standard, effective to the usual levels for a Heavy Blaster Pistol) and long range (under focused so that he may hit targets further away; however he does sacrifice some of the power at this range). He also extended the safety switch, the stun switch, and the semi/fully automatic switches for added comfort, and also added his own custom pattern to the grip so that it slotted in perfectly with the grip on his gloves. Usually, triggers on blasters and projectile weapons require around 4.5 pounds of pressure to fire, but Sashar heightened the sensitivity of his pistol, giving it a mere 3.5 pounds of pressure required to discharge and also added several grip indentations on the trigger so that his finger wouldn’t slip at all. He also lengthened the trigger guard, allowing the finger to more easily slot into place, ready on the trigger. To aid in his aiming, Sashar added a ‘tri-sight’, a single sight at the end of the barrel and two further sights at the back of the barrel, so that he could properly aim using the ‘three-dot’ method. Finally, Sashar filed down the tibanna gas pack entry mechanism, to speed up the reloading time. The weapon is one of a kind and a true testament to Sashar’s abilities as a weapon and armour-smith.

===Sashar's Crate===
Ever the Mandalorian, Sashar made sure to bring a lot of his own ‘gear’ from Dxun that he keeps, conveniently enough, in an armoured cargo crate under his bed.

== Apprentices ==

The Mandalorian Prided himself on his mentorship of his brethren and repeatedly took on apprentices during his tenure in the Brotherhood. Indeed, he spent a large amount of his free time assembling what he has dubbed the ‘Kodiak Holocron’ a collection of training regimens and techniques unique to the Mandalorian to help in his training of some of the clan’s newer members.

===[[Zandro Savric Erinos]]===
Sashar’s first impression of Zandro was an eager, ambitious recruit to Clan Arcona that with a little honing could become a stalwart of the clan. He was right. Zandro proved to excel in every field Sashar tested him in and seemed incredibly at home with a Lightsaber. Zandro also exhibited calmness under fire and charismatic dry sense of humour that made him a brilliant leader. He was also the consummate tactician – in every way Sashar’s prodigy – even going so far as to display an acuity with the rare and difficult art of Battle Meditation. Their newfound familial linkage just strengthened the bond the two shared and they remained close even after Zandro completed his training. Zandro kept going to his older brother Sashar for camaraderie and advice. Zandro was one of the six founding 'Vode Erinos' of the Erinos Family.

===[[Malidir]]===
Sashar’s second apprentice, the human was quietly-spoken, not particularly at home with the more mystic applications o the force, but he had a dedicated grit that meant he would never, ever give up. Indeed, his stamina to keep on fighting relentlessly, leading by example is a source of inspiration to his subordinates. Unfortunately, Sashar was driven from Arcona before he could complete Malidir’s training – something the Mandalorian felt guilty about for a long time. Still, despite this, Malidir and Sashar remained friends - Malidir was one of the six founding 'Vode Erinos' of the Erinos family.

===[[Kieran]]===
Kieran was Sashar’s clan-mate from Dxun and the pair were close even before the Mandalorian took him on as an ‘apprentice’ – though the pair hardly had a master/student dynamic. Indeed, Kieran’s frankness, his black humour and his grim outlook on life speak of someone that rarely listened to authority. Thar ass incorrect however, as the Mandalorian believed in a strong, pronounced chain of command and excelled working in small units such as Soulfire Strike Team. He displayed little ability with offensive force abilities, instead being more adept at augmenting his physical attributes with the force more than anything else. He eventually completed his tutorship with Sashar and the two continued to work closely on various tasks for Galeres, Arcona and the Erinos family. Kieran was one of the six founding 'Vode Erinos' of the Erinos family.

===[[Rho]]===
Not your stereotypical Nagai, Rho and Sashar did no always see eye to eye, yet the Mandalorian cajoled the Nagai into accepting him as a master by showing him the ‘Mandalorian’ way of doing things. This produced mixed results. Whilst Rho was quite the combatant with melee weapons – homage to his Nagai heritage, he took to Soulfire’s blaster-heavy approach to warfare reluctantly. He nevertheless progressed in his application of the dark side as only a Sith could and pointedly disagreed with Sashar on many of the more philosophical debates the pair had when discussing the force, indeed, his ‘Grey Jedi’ stance was dismissed and the Nagai seemed content with the role of the dark side in his life. It was Sashar’s belief that he would make a fine Dark Jedi. Whether or not this is a compliment remains to be seen. Upon Rho's attaining the title of Knight, Sashar built the Nagai a custom suit of armour as a way of displaying his pride for the apprentice that provided him with the most challenge.

===[[Juda]]===
Another of Sashar’s ner’vod from Dxun, Juda looked to Sashar as an older-brother figure and in a blatant disregard for the laws prohibiting it, Sashar took Juda as his apprentice despite already having two others. The Mandalorians worked extremely well together, and unlike Kieran, Juda exhibited a level of control over the force that even Sashar couldn’t quite match up to. He demonstrated a natural affinity as a ‘seer’ – having a force sense that was impressive for such a raw recruit to the force, and also seemed to lean towards healing and regenerative force powers – it was expected that Juda would become a brilliant healer and seer as he progressed down the path of the force user. Sashar’s one concern over his ner’vod was that the red-haired youth would be seduced by the Dark Side – something he was able to avoid with Malidir, Kieran and Zandro. Sashar also decided to use Juda as the apprentice for a trial mentoring scheme, where Juda and Sashar would remain bonded together as master and apprentice until Juda reached the rank of Obelisk Prelate - an 'advanced mentorship.'

===[[Earnest]]===

Earnest, Sashar’s sixth apprentice was taken on reluctantly. The former companion and consummate seducer share a past in that Earnest was the one to ‘take’ Dash Kuatir from the Mandalorian. Nevertheless, he agreed to tutor the Jedi Hunter late in his ascension through the ranks to make him a better asset to Arcona. The pair are often found sparring as it is in direct combat that Earnest needs the most tutelage. Curiously, despite Sashar’s urgings, Earnest has shunned all forms of lightsaber combat, forcing him to rely on the more mystic applications of the Force for protection.

===[[Illian Syn]]===

Sashar’s seventh apprentice, Illian was a transfer from [[Taldryan]] that craved a mentor able to challenge them both mentally and physically. The Exarch, upon hearing that Illian required an experienced Master took it upon himself to train him, both to reinforce Arcona’s focus and attention on all of their members, regardless of previous affiliation and to temper some of Illian’s more psychotic urges. While the two are often at loggerheads due to their vastly different views on team-work and Clan fealty, it is hoped that before Illian faces the trials that they will be able to form a compromise of sorts.

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

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

==Orders in Galeres==

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

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

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

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

* [[House Galeres:Base|View details of Galeres' Base]]

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

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

===Galeres Troika===

House Galeres is first known for its Fighters, the skill of its Obelisk warriors. It has always been known as a Warrior House; however that is not to say that it is lacking in the other aspects of the brotherhood – merely that it specialises in the area of personal, single combat. These three individuals that display…singular skills are chosen by the Quaestor and the Aedile from the ranks of House Galeres and the recipient keeps the title for as long as the Quaestor and Aedile feel he is deserving. There have even been mutterings of a title being given to the participants indefinitely; however, this could just be conjecture.

====The First Blade of Galeres====
There is always one that stands out in the ranks of Galeres as the first combatant, the vanguard, the harbinger, the First Blade of Galeres. He is a blademaster with his sabre; he has a grasp of single combat that is unparalleled, even by the members of Soulfire Strike Team and is in every way a formidable adversary. Usually, the member has received Royal Guardsman training; however that isn’t a requisite for the holder of the title.

====The Prodigy of Galeres====
These are rare, but instantly noticeable, even in the excellence of Galeres. There is always one person that shines through the rank and file with unparalleled drive, ambition and tenacity in pursing the best interests of the House and Clan. It is clear from the outset that this member will do great things for Galeres, and for their own nefarious ends.

====The Adjunct of Galeres====
This, the third in the Troika of Galeres is probably the most subtle. He is not known for his superior skill with a blade or his level of aggression when pursuing outward goals of the House. Instead, this member is known for his quiet, consistent work behind the scenes, assisting the summit with their administration of the House. He is usually one of the longer-serving members and his experience will far outweigh that of other members.

====The Shard of Garrida====
Taken from the Garrida Stone during the split, this shard of purest teal carbon (thought to be similar to a diamond in it’s consistency) is laced with veins of rich green running through the interior of the transparent crystal. The original stone was destroyed during the chaos of the split, and the Shard of Garrida is now all that remains of this one prestigious artefact. The Shard is given to the First Blade of Galeres, and is to be used as a Lightsaber focusing crystal. It gives the blade a rich turquoise/teal colour and makes the sabre blade more resistant to other lightsabres.

====The Mantle of Prodigy====
A piece of stylised armour, the design originally taken from an ancient Sith Warlord’s battle armour, the Mantle of prodigy is essentially a set of shoulder protectors with the Galeres symbol carved into the front & back, complete with a lustrous narrow cape coming down the back to the wearer’s ankles. This mantle protects the wearer from melee attacks such as vibroblades, but is unable to stave off lightsaber blows, and also grants the prodigy access to any of the fighters, shuttles, bombers or gunships in the Arcona fleet.

====Galeres Signet Ring====
A small silver ring devoid of any adornment save for two indented lines running parallel around the circumference of the ring, it seems to be made of a lightweight medal such as Titanium. Whilst not overtly showy, this piece of hand-wear grants the wearer access to almost everywhere in the Galeres properties and also contains a specifically patterned piece of bio-circuitry that allows the user to access confidential files in the Galerian computers, granting them carte blanche in everywhere but the areas reserved for the Quaestor. With this ring, the Adjunct can better aid his House Summit and the level off access available to the Adjunct is a sign of the level of trust he has been bestowed.

==Galeres Merit Awards==
House Galeres has always prided itself on its individuality, its unwillingness to follow but its nature to lead. It was the first Obelisk House of the Brotherhood, and as such was something of a trend-setter in the times before the Exodus. As such, the House leadership brought in their own merit award system for their members when they felt a more personal touch was necessary.

====Archivist Droid====
For some of the Journeymen of Galeres, the ‘theory’ work they are forced to go through is a rigmarole that leaves them little time for their preferred areas of study. An Archivist droid is the answer to this. Given as a low level award to some Journeymen that have excelled in a Feud, Vendetta or DB-wide event, the Archivist droid assists them in their training, helping them research obscure texts, translate ancient Sith tomes and is even useful as a protocol/general servant droid, being able to manage housework and culinary duties.

====Kama====
A protective garment worn around the back of the waist to protect the wearer’s legs from shrapnel – it is more ceremonial in nature than anything else, and was historically worn by the Thyrsus Sun Guard. This dark grey garment is worn in addition to the standard Galeres armour to protect the wearer’s upper legs and knees and is awarded for exemplary effort in a vendetta or other competitive event.

====Pauldron====
A Mark of Rank in Galeres, the Pauldron is worn on the shoulders of the Galeres armour to identify the Galerians that have been given command of a section of the Arcona Military Forces. Dark Blue in colour, it immediately differentiates the Commanders from the rank and file.

===Soulfire Award===
Soulfire Strike Team only has one award – one that reflects the Mandalorian origins of a lot of its members. The award is given out for life, and is quite similar to the Corellian Bloodstripes in its ideal.

====Jaig Eyes====
Originally a Mandalorian award for bravery, the Jaig Eyes are a stylised Jai’galaar eyes painted onto the helmet of Mandalorian warriors’ armour. Soulfire mirrored this and gave the Jaig Eyes out to its members who had displayed particular acts of bravery.

==House Facts==
===Logo Symbology===
[[image:Galeres.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Galeres Logo]]
* It's a "G" for Galeres
* The curves and points, which bring violence to mind. Smooth arcs give a more peaceful feeling that doesn't really work for such an aggressive force. The curves used evoke blades, fire, danger in a glance.
* Space: At the time, Galeres was heavy in Sith, and the impression of space combat was needed somewhat...this is where the 'black hole' feel comes in on the right side.
* Identity marking. A house logo has to be able to fit within the medallions of a warbanner, as well as look good on a webpage, and at any resolution....therefore, going with a more simple and elegant design is favorable to going overly complex, where the subtleties would be lost, and the logo not immediately identifiable...which would negate the purpose.

* It's a "G" for Galeres
* The curves and points, which bring violence to mind. Smooth arcs give a more peaceful feeling that doesn't really work for such an aggressive force. The curves used evoke blades, fire, danger in a glance.
* Space: At the time, Galeres was heavy in Sith, and the impression of space combat was needed somewhat...this is where the 'black hole' feel comes in on the right side.
* Identity marking. A house logo has to be able to fit within the medallions of a warbanner, as well as look good on a webpage, and at any resolution....therefore, going with a more simple and elegant design is favorable to going overly complex, where the subtleties would be lost, and the logo not immediately identifiable...which would negate the purpose.

== History of Qel-Droma ==

=== The Fall of Ulic Qel-Droma ===

Thousands of years ago, the former light Jedi Master Ulic Qel-Droma had become the first High Priest of the [[Krath]] and enemy of the Light [[Jedi]]. In a battle that lasted over a decade and cost the lives of millions on both sides, Ulic Qel-Droma was ultimately driven back to a remote corner of the Galaxy, near a small world called Aurora Prime. He set up a refuge and fortress there and held those for another three years against overwhelming odds. Finally however, the enemy forces, outnumbering Qel-Droma's by more than ten to one, were able to penetrate the fort. Not to be taken captive, Qel- Droma and six of his closest aides took their lives in one of the darkest [[Krath]] rituals ever imagined, ripping each other's hearts from their bodies on the highest tower at the light of the last sunray of the day. Their mission seemingly fulfilled, the Light troops left the fortress and the world, never to return.

=== A Spirit Unfulfilled ===

However, in spirit, Qel-Droma was not dead, nor was any of the six who died with him. They lived on in the [[Force]], haunting the world they were left on in solitude. Not really alive nor really dead, they spent the next millennia on their deserted world, unable to find final rest but unable to do anything either. The Old Republic came and with it came the Forces to destroy Darkness. A small band of [[Dark Jedi]] retreated to the place where Qel-Droma had died and built the base of a [[Krath]] cathedral. They taught there for sixty years until, in an inexplicable incident, all but one of them were killed in one night of bloody battle against no foe. The one survivor's name was Kasal Diglapari and it was after this fateful night that he wrote his first Prophecy, a tale of young [[Dark Jedi]] and a spirit never able to rest.

=== Arcona's Ascension and Fall ===

It was still several hundred years later, after the fall of Palpatine, that the next incident happened. During the reign of [[Grand Master]] Khyron, a [[Dark Jedi]] [[House]] was formed in the system where Ulic Qel-Droma had seen his last battle. The House was named [[Arcona]] and its first leader was [[Sith Warrior]] Donitz. Donitz however never made it to the day to see his [[House]] fully established as the day before the [[Grand Master]] was to give his official approval and blessing, he disappeared into the nothingness of Space, never to be seen again. Instead of him, [[Krath]] ]]Pontifex]] Gilkane was instated into the position of [[Quaestor]], aided by [[Obelisk Warrior]] Dreadnaught. [[Arcona]] was blessed with a large amount of talent and immediately seized Right of Supremacy among all [[Houses]] in the next vendetta. After the vendetta, [[Pontifex]] Gilkane resigned to go into the wilderness and work on his own [[Force]] understanding and Dreadnaught was called upon to establish a new [[House]]'s presence elsewhere. So the leadership of [[Arcona]] fell to [[Krath]] Priestess Lioness. Lioness was eager and talented, but she had ideas not in accordance with what the [[Dark Council]] expected and was in the end forced to resign her leadership. No replacement was appointed and [[House]] [[Arcona]] began to crumble.

=== Nighthawk and the New Arcona ===

It was several months later that a young and loyel [[Jedi Hunter]] named [[Nighthawk]] approached the [[Dark Council]] with the request for permission to rebuild the presence that had once been [[House]] [[Arcona]]. He had the support of Lioness' former [[Aedile]], [[Warrior]] Shark, and together they began a steady process of growth. In less than a year, what had been a dead [[House]] was a flourishing assembly of 70 [[Dark Jedi]] of all ranks and so it was decided to expand [[Arcona]] into a [[Clan]]. Two new [[Houses]] were formed, [[House Galeres]] on [[Garrida]] and, on the other inhabitable world of the [[Coronoda]] system, [[Mar Sala]], a [[House]] was established to bear his name. [[Sith Warrior]] Shark was the first [[Quaestor]] of [[House]] Qel-Droma while [[Nighthawk]] was now [[Consul]] of [[Arcona]].

=== Oriens Obscurum and the Reordering ===

While [[Arcona]] was prospering, a neighboring [[Clan]], [[Scholae Palatinae]], was doing far less well. They had deteriorated to a point where barely more than a single [[House]]'s worth of [[Jedi]] were left and thus it was decided to downgrade the [[Clan]] to a [[House]]. This House was then given to [[Clan Arcona]]. Many talented members, especially veteran [[Sith]] called this [[House]] their home and it became a great asset to the [[Clan]]. Then came the day when [[Grand Master]] Khyron ordered the most massive restructuring the [[Brotherhood]] had ever seen. No longer were [[Houses]] to have members of all three [[Order]]s but they were to concentrate their powers on one [[Order]] and its abilities, with a [[Clan]] having one [[Krath]] [[House]], one [[Sith]] [[House]] and one [[Obelisk]] [[House]]. [[House Galeres]] had traditionally been strong with [[Obelisk]] members and had [[DJM]] Blazer, a former [[CoG]] as their [[Quaestor]], so it was natural for them to become the [[Obelisk]] [[House]]. Qel-Droma was as natural a choice for [[Krath]] given their namesake and location, so [[House Oriens Obscurum]] became [[Sith]]. [[Archpriest]] Gavron became the first [[Quaestor]] of the restructured [[House]] Qel-Droma.

=== Lord Thedek's Reign ===

These incidents fell just before [[Grand Master]] Khyron retired. In his place, Lord Thedek was appointed [[Grand Master]]. As a result of his ascension, [[Nighthawk]] was appointed [[Master at Arms]] and Gavron was chosen as the new [[Consul]] for [[Arcona]]. The new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma was Joker, although he unfortunately had to relinquish the post shortly after appointment due to a ship collision that left him out of commission for several months, nearly killing him. Following in his footsteps were Frost (aided by [[AED]] Zander) and then [[Alex d`Tana]] (with [[KPN]] Voranyen as [[Aedile]]). In this time, [[House]] Qel-Droma had two [[Krath]] [[Phyle]]s, the Dark Orb [[Phyle]] and the Loreseekers. Following a gradual decline in membership, the Loreseekers were closed, leaving Dark Orb as the only [[Phyle]] in [[House]] Qel-Droma.

=== The Recent Past ===

While the resignation of Lord Thedek and the ascension of Lord Zoraan to the Iron Throne had little effect on the [[House]], it still marked the timeline. Some time after Zoraan had assumed rulership, [[House]] Qel-Droma had again regrown somewhat. A second [[Phyle]] was reinstated under the command of [[Jedi Hunter]] Cyrax Lionheart, but Cyrax never made it to any exploits as he was one day found dead in his chambers. Succeeding him was [[Acolyte]] Kaiann, a recent graduate of the [[Shadow Academy]]. At the same time, Alex also resigned and am ambitious young [[Archpriest]], named [[Mejas Doto]], was appointed the new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma. Dark Orb [[Phyle]] remained in the capable hands of [[Krath Priest]] D'hak and [[Pontifex]] Voranyen continued on as [[Aedile]].

=== Another Haunting Visit ===

Around these days, the Cathedral found itself in uproar again. Several younger [[Jedi]] had apparitions, especially of Ulic Qel-Droma and those who had been killed centuries ago. In a dreadful night, Qel- Droma came back to once again haunt the place he died, leaving two [[Acolyte]]s dead before finally being dispatched by the joint efforts of the [[Quaestor]] and several of the younger [[Jedi]]. They recognized the meaning of Kasal Diglapari's prophecy and thus it was decided to name the second [[Phyle]] Hell's Gatekeepers.

Qel-Droma was as natural a choice for [[Krath]] given their namesake and location, so [[House Oriens Obscurum]] became [[Sith]]. [[Archpriest]] Gavron became the first [[Quaestor]] of the restructured [[House]] Qel-Droma.

=== Lord Thedek's Reign ===

These incidents fell just before [[Grand Master]] Khyron retired. In his place, Lord Thedek was appointed [[Grand Master]]. As a result of his ascension, [[Nighthawk]] was appointed [[Master at Arms]] and Gavron was chosen as the new [[Consul]] for [[Arcona]]. The new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma was Joker, although he unfortunately had to relinquish the post shortly after appointment due to a ship collision that left him out of commission for several months, nearly killing him. Following in his footsteps were Frost (aided by [[AED]] Zander) and then [[Alex d`Tana]] (with [[KPN]] Voranyen as [[Aedile]]). In this time, [[House]] Qel-Droma had two [[Krath]] [[Phyle]]s, the Dark Orb [[Phyle]] and the Loreseekers. Following a gradual decline in membership, the Loreseekers were closed, leaving Dark Orb as the only [[Phyle]] in [[House]] Qel-Droma.

=== The Recent Past ===

While the resignation of Lord Thedek and the ascension of Lord Zoraan to the Iron Throne had little effect on the [[House]], it still marked the timeline. Some time after Zoraan had assumed rulership, [[House]] Qel-Droma had again regrown somewhat. A second [[Phyle]] was reinstated under the command of [[Jedi Hunter]] Cyrax Lionheart, but Cyrax never made it to any exploits as he was one day found dead in his chambers. Succeeding him was [[Acolyte]] Kaiann, a recent graduate of the [[Shadow Academy]]. At the same time, Alex also resigned and am ambitious young [[Archpriest]], named [[Mejas Doto]], was appointed the new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma. Dark Orb [[Phyle]] remained in the capable hands of [[Krath Priest]] D'hak and [[Pontifex]] Voranyen continued on as [[Aedile]].

=== Another Haunting Visit ===

Around these days, the Cathedral found itself in uproar again. Several younger [[Jedi]] had apparitions, especially of Ulic Qel-Droma and those who had been killed centuries ago. In a dreadful night, Qel- Droma came back to once again haunt the place he died, leaving two [[Acolyte]]s dead before finally being dispatched by the joint efforts of the [[Quaestor]] and several of the younger [[Jedi]]. They recognized the meaning of Kasal Diglapari's prophecy and thus it was decided to name the second [[Phyle]] Hell's Gatekeepers.

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

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

==Orders in Galeres==

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

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

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

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

* [[House Galeres:Base|View details of Galeres' Base]]

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

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

===Galeres Troika===

House Galeres is first known for its Fighters, the skill of its Obelisk warriors. It has always been known as a Warrior House; however that is not to say that it is lacking in the other aspects of the brotherhood – merely that it specialises in the area of personal, single combat. These three individuals that display…singular skills are chosen by the Quaestor and the Aedile from the ranks of House Galeres and the recipient keeps the title for as long as the Quaestor and Aedile feel he is deserving. There have even been mutterings of a title being given to the participants indefinitely; however, this could just be conjecture.

====The First Blade of Galeres====
There is always one that stands out in the ranks of Galeres as the first combatant, the vanguard, the harbinger, the First Blade of Galeres. He is a blademaster with his sabre; he has a grasp of single combat that is unparalleled, even by the members of Soulfire Strike Team and is in every way a formidable adversary. Usually, the member has received Royal Guardsman training; however that isn’t a requisite for the holder of the title.

====The Prodigy of Galeres====
These are rare, but instantly noticeable, even in the excellence of Galeres. There is always one person that shines through the rank and file with unparalleled drive, ambition and tenacity in pursing the best interests of the House and Clan. It is clear from the outset that this member will do great things for Galeres, and for their own nefarious ends.

====The Adjunct of Galeres====
This, the third in the Troika of Galeres is probably the most subtle. He is not known for his superior skill with a blade or his level of aggression when pursuing outward goals of the House. Instead, this member is known for his quiet, consistent work behind the scenes, assisting the summit with their administration of the House. He is usually one of the longer-serving members and his experience will far outweigh that of other members.

====The Shard of Garrida====
Taken from the Garrida Stone during the split, this shard of purest teal carbon (thought to be similar to a diamond in it’s consistency) is laced with veins of rich green running through the interior of the transparent crystal. The original stone was destroyed during the chaos of the split, and the Shard of Garrida is now all that remains of this one prestigious artefact. The Shard is given to the First Blade of Galeres, and is to be used as a Lightsaber focusing crystal. It gives the blade a rich turquoise/teal colour and makes the sabre blade more resistant to other lightsabres.

====The Mantle of Prodigy====
A piece of stylised armour, the design originally taken from an ancient Sith Warlord’s battle armour, the Mantle of prodigy is essentially a set of shoulder protectors with the Galeres symbol carved into the front & back, complete with a lustrous narrow cape coming down the back to the wearer’s ankles. This mantle protects the wearer from melee attacks such as vibroblades, but is unable to stave off lightsaber blows, and also grants the prodigy access to any of the fighters, shuttles, bombers or gunships in the Arcona fleet.

====Galeres Signet Ring====
A small silver ring devoid of any adornment save for two indented lines running parallel around the circumference of the ring, it seems to be made of a lightweight medal such as Titanium. Whilst not overtly showy, this piece of hand-wear grants the wearer access to almost everywhere in the Galeres properties and also contains a specifically patterned piece of bio-circuitry that allows the user to access confidential files in the Galerian computers, granting them carte blanche in everywhere but the areas reserved for the Quaestor. With this ring, the Adjunct can better aid his House Summit and the level off access available to the Adjunct is a sign of the level of trust he has been bestowed.

==Galeres Merit Awards==
House Galeres has always prided itself on its individuality, its unwillingness to follow but its nature to lead. It was the first Obelisk House of the Brotherhood, and as such was something of a trend-setter in the times before the Exodus. As such, the House leadership brought in their own merit award system for their members when they felt a more personal touch was necessary.

====Archivist Droid====
For some of the Journeymen of Galeres, the ‘theory’ work they are forced to go through is a rigmarole that leaves them little time for their preferred areas of study. An Archivist droid is the answer to this. Given as a low level award to some Journeymen that have excelled in a Feud, Vendetta or DB-wide event, the Archivist droid assists them in their training, helping them research obscure texts, translate ancient Sith tomes and is even useful as a protocol/general servant droid, being able to manage housework and culinary duties.

====Kama====
A protective garment worn around the back of the waist to protect the wearer’s legs from shrapnel – it is more ceremonial in nature than anything else, and was historically worn by the Thyrsus Sun Guard. This dark grey garment is worn in addition to the standard Galeres armour to protect the wearer’s upper legs and knees and is awarded for exemplary effort in a vendetta or other competitive event.

====Pauldron====
A Mark of Rank in Galeres, the Pauldron is worn on the shoulders of the Galeres armour to identify the Galerians that have been given command of a section of the Arcona Military Forces. Dark Blue in colour, it immediately differentiates the Commanders from the rank and file.

===Soulfire Award===
Soulfire Strike Team only has one award – one that reflects the Mandalorian origins of a lot of its members. The award is given out for life, and is quite similar to the Corellian Bloodstripes in its ideal.

====Jaig Eyes====
Originally a Mandalorian award for bravery, the Jaig Eyes are a stylised Jai’galaar eyes painted onto the helmet of Mandalorian warriors’ armour. Soulfire mirrored this and gave the Jaig Eyes out to its members who had displayed particular acts of bravery.

==House Facts==
===Logo Symbology===
[[image:Galeres.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Galeres Logo]]
* It's a "G" for Galeres
* The curves and points, which bring violence to mind. Smooth arcs give a more peaceful feeling that doesn't really work for such an aggressive force. The curves used evoke blades, fire, danger in a glance.
* Space: At the time, Galeres was heavy in Sith, and the impression of space combat was needed somewhat...this is where the 'black hole' feel comes in on the right side.
* Identity marking. A house logo has to be able to fit within the medallions of a warbanner, as well as look good on a webpage, and at any resolution....therefore, going with a more simple and elegant design is favorable to going overly complex, where the subtleties would be lost, and the logo not immediately identifiable...which would negate the purpose.

There is always one person that shines through the rank and file with unparalleled drive, ambition and tenacity in pursing the best interests of the House and Clan. It is clear from the outset that this member will do great things for Galeres, and for their own nefarious ends.

====The Adjunct of Galeres====
This, the third in the Troika of Galeres is probably the most subtle. He is not known for his superior skill with a blade or his level of aggression when pursuing outward goals of the House. Instead, this member is known for his quiet, consistent work behind the scenes, assisting the summit with their administration of the House. He is usually one of the longer-serving members and his experience will far outweigh that of other members.

====The Shard of Garrida====
Taken from the Garrida Stone during the split, this shard of purest teal carbon (thought to be similar to a diamond in it’s consistency) is laced with veins of rich green running through the interior of the transparent crystal. The original stone was destroyed during the chaos of the split, and the Shard of Garrida is now all that remains of this one prestigious artefact. The Shard is given to the First Blade of Galeres, and is to be used as a Lightsaber focusing crystal. It gives the blade a rich turquoise/teal colour and makes the sabre blade more resistant to other lightsabres.

====The Mantle of Prodigy====
A piece of stylised armour, the design originally taken from an ancient Sith Warlord’s battle armour, the Mantle of prodigy is essentially a set of shoulder protectors with the Galeres symbol carved into the front & back, complete with a lustrous narrow cape coming down the back to the wearer’s ankles. This mantle protects the wearer from melee attacks such as vibroblades, but is unable to stave off lightsaber blows, and also grants the prodigy access to any of the fighters, shuttles, bombers or gunships in the Arcona fleet.

====Galeres Signet Ring====
A small silver ring devoid of any adornment save for two indented lines running parallel around the circumference of the ring, it seems to be made of a lightweight medal such as Titanium. Whilst not overtly showy, this piece of hand-wear grants the wearer access to almost everywhere in the Galeres properties and also contains a specifically patterned piece of bio-circuitry that allows the user to access confidential files in the Galerian computers, granting them carte blanche in everywhere but the areas reserved for the Quaestor. With this ring, the Adjunct can better aid his House Summit and the level off access available to the Adjunct is a sign of the level of trust he has been bestowed.

==Galeres Merit Awards==
House Galeres has always prided itself on its individuality, its unwillingness to follow but its nature to lead. It was the first Obelisk House of the Brotherhood, and as such was something of a trend-setter in the times before the Exodus. As such, the House leadership brought in their own merit award system for their members when they felt a more personal touch was necessary.

====Archivist Droid====
For some of the Journeymen of Galeres, the ‘theory’ work they are forced to go through is a rigmarole that leaves them little time for their preferred areas of study. An Archivist droid is the answer to this. Given as a low level award to some Journeymen that have excelled in a Feud, Vendetta or DB-wide event, the Archivist droid assists them in their training, helping them research obscure texts, translate ancient Sith tomes and is even useful as a protocol/general servant droid, being able to manage housework and culinary duties.

====Kama====
A protective garment worn around the back of the waist to protect the wearer’s legs from shrapnel – it is more ceremonial in nature than anything else, and was historically worn by the Thyrsus Sun Guard. This dark grey garment is worn in addition to the standard Galeres armour to protect the wearer’s upper legs and knees and is awarded for exemplary effort in a vendetta or other competitive event.

====Pauldron====
A Mark of Rank in Galeres, the Pauldron is worn on the shoulders of the Galeres armour to identify the Galerians that have been given command of a section of the Arcona Military Forces. Dark Blue in colour, it immediately differentiates the Commanders from the rank and file.

===Soulfire Award===
Soulfire Strike Team only has one award – one that reflects the Mandalorian origins of a lot of its members. The award is given out for life, and is quite similar to the Corellian Bloodstripes in its ideal.

====Jaig Eyes====
Originally a Mandalorian award for bravery, the Jaig Eyes are a stylised Jai’galaar eyes painted onto the helmet of Mandalorian warriors’ armour. Soulfire mirrored this and gave the Jaig Eyes out to its members who had displayed particular acts of bravery.

* It's a "G" for Galeres
* The curves and points, which bring violence to mind. Smooth arcs give a more peaceful feeling that doesn't really work for such an aggressive force. The curves used evoke blades, fire, danger in a glance.
* Space: At the time, Galeres was heavy in Sith, and the impression of space combat was needed somewhat...this is where the 'black hole' feel comes in on the right side.
* Identity marking. A house logo has to be able to fit within the medallions of a warbanner, as well as look good on a webpage, and at any resolution....therefore, going with a more simple and elegant design is favorable to going overly complex, where the subtleties would be lost, and the logo not immediately identifiable...which would negate the purpose.

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

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

==Orders in Galeres==

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Galeres Troika===

House Galeres is first known for its Fighters, the skill of its Obelisk warriors. It has always been known as a Warrior House; however that is not to say that it is lacking in the other aspects of the brotherhood – merely that it specialises in the area of personal, single combat. These three individuals that display…singular skills are chosen by the Quaestor and the Aedile from the ranks of House Galeres and the recipient keeps the title for as long as the Quaestor and Aedile feel he is deserving. There have even been mutterings of a title being given to the participants indefinitely; however, this could just be conjecture.

====The First Blade of Galeres====
There is always one that stands out in the ranks of Galeres as the first combatant, the vanguard, the harbinger, the First Blade of Galeres. He is a blademaster with his sabre; he has a grasp of single combat that is unparalleled, even by the members of Soulfire Strike Team and is in every way a formidable adversary. Usually, the member has received Royal Guardsman training; however that isn’t a requisite for the holder of the title.

====The Prodigy of Galeres====
These are rare, but instantly noticeable, even in the excellence of Galeres. There is always one person that shines through the rank and file with unparalleled drive, ambition and tenacity in pursing the best interests of the House and Clan. It is clear from the outset that this member will do great things for Galeres, and for their own nefarious ends.

====The Adjunct of Galeres====
This, the third in the Troika of Galeres is probably the most subtle. He is not known for his superior skill with a blade or his level of aggression when pursuing outward goals of the House. Instead, this member is known for his quiet, consistent work behind the scenes, assisting the summit with their administration of the House. He is usually one of the longer-serving members and his experience will far outweigh that of other members.

====The Shard of Garrida====
Taken from the Garrida Stone during the split, this shard of purest teal carbon (thought to be similar to a diamond in it’s consistency) is laced with veins of rich green running through the interior of the transparent crystal. The original stone was destroyed during the chaos of the split, and the Shard of Garrida is now all that remains of this one prestigious artefact. The Shard is given to the First Blade of Galeres, and is to be used as a Lightsaber focusing crystal. It gives the blade a rich turquoise/teal colour and makes the sabre blade more resistant to other lightsabres.

====The Mantle of Prodigy====
A piece of stylised armour, the design originally taken from an ancient Sith Warlord’s battle armour, the Mantle of prodigy is essentially a set of shoulder protectors with the Galeres symbol carved into the front & back, complete with a lustrous narrow cape coming down the back to the wearer’s ankles. This mantle protects the wearer from melee attacks such as vibroblades, but is unable to stave off lightsaber blows, and also grants the prodigy access to any of the fighters, shuttles, bombers or gunships in the Arcona fleet.

====Galeres Signet Ring====
A small silver ring devoid of any adornment save for two indented lines running parallel around the circumference of the ring, it seems to be made of a lightweight medal such as Titanium. Whilst not overtly showy, this piece of hand-wear grants the wearer access to almost everywhere in the Galeres properties and also contains a specifically patterned piece of bio-circuitry that allows the user to access confidential files in the Galerian computers, granting them carte blanche in everywhere but the areas reserved for the Quaestor. With this ring, the Adjunct can better aid his House Summit and the level off access available to the Adjunct is a sign of the level of trust he has been bestowed.

==Galeres Merit Awards==
House Galeres has always prided itself on its individuality, its unwillingness to follow but its nature to lead. It was the first Obelisk House of the Brotherhood, and as such was something of a trend-setter in the times before the Exodus. As such, the House leadership brought in their own merit award system for their members when they felt a more personal touch was necessary.

For some of the Journeymen of Galeres, the ‘theory’ work they are forced to go through is a rigmarole that leaves them little time for their preferred areas of study. An Archivist droid is the answer to this. Given as a low level award to some Journeymen that have excelled in a Feud, Vendetta or DB-wide event, the Archivist droid assists them in their training, helping them research obscure texts, translate ancient Sith tomes and is even useful as a protocol/general servant droid, being able to manage housework and culinary duties.

== History of Qel-Droma ==

=== The Fall of Ulic Qel-Droma ===

Thousands of years ago, the former light Jedi Master Ulic Qel-Droma had become the first High Priest of the [[Krath]] and enemy of the Light [[Jedi]]. In a battle that lasted over a decade and cost the lives of millions on both sides, Ulic Qel-Droma was ultimately driven back to a remote corner of the Galaxy, near a small world called Aurora Prime. He set up a refuge and fortress there and held those for another three years against overwhelming odds. Finally however, the enemy forces, outnumbering Qel-Droma's by more than ten to one, were able to penetrate the fort. Not to be taken captive, Qel- Droma and six of his closest aides took their lives in one of the darkest [[Krath]] rituals ever imagined, ripping each other's hearts from their bodies on the highest tower at the light of the last sunray of the day. Their mission seemingly fulfilled, the Light troops left the fortress and the world, never to return.

=== A Spirit Unfulfilled ===

However, in spirit, Qel-Droma was not dead, nor was any of the six who died with him. They lived on in the [[Force]], haunting the world they were left on in solitude. Not really alive nor really dead, they spent the next millennia on their deserted world, unable to find final rest but unable to do anything either. The Old Republic came and with it came the Forces to destroy Darkness. A small band of [[Dark Jedi]] retreated to the place where Qel-Droma had died and built the base of a [[Krath]] cathedral. They taught there for sixty years until, in an inexplicable incident, all but one of them were killed in one night of bloody battle against no foe. The one survivor's name was Kasal Diglapari and it was after this fateful night that he wrote his first Prophecy, a tale of young [[Dark Jedi]] and a spirit never able to rest.

=== Arcona's Ascension and Fall ===

It was still several hundred years later, after the fall of Palpatine, that the next incident happened. During the reign of [[Grand Master]] Khyron, a [[Dark Jedi]] [[House]] was formed in the system where Ulic Qel-Droma had seen his last battle. The House was named [[Arcona]] and its first leader was [[Sith Warrior]] Donitz. Donitz however never made it to the day to see his [[House]] fully established as the day before the [[Grand Master]] was to give his official approval and blessing, he disappeared into the nothingness of Space, never to be seen again. Instead of him, [[Krath]] ]]Pontifex]] Gilkane was instated into the position of [[Quaestor]], aided by [[Obelisk Warrior]] Dreadnaught. [[Arcona]] was blessed with a large amount of talent and immediately seized Right of Supremacy among all [[Houses]] in the next vendetta. After the vendetta, [[Pontifex]] Gilkane resigned to go into the wilderness and work on his own [[Force]] understanding and Dreadnaught was called upon to establish a new [[House]]'s presence elsewhere. So the leadership of [[Arcona]] fell to [[Krath]] Priestess Lioness. Lioness was eager and talented, but she had ideas not in accordance with what the [[Dark Council]] expected and was in the end forced to resign her leadership. No replacement was appointed and [[House]] [[Arcona]] began to crumble.

=== Nighthawk and the New Arcona ===

It was several months later that a young and loyel [[Jedi Hunter]] named [[Nighthawk]] approached the [[Dark Council]] with the request for permission to rebuild the presence that had once been [[House]] [[Arcona]]. He had the support of Lioness' former [[Aedile]], [[Warrior]] Shark, and together they began a steady process of growth. In less than a year, what had been a dead [[House]] was a flourishing assembly of 70 [[Dark Jedi]] of all ranks and so it was decided to expand [[Arcona]] into a [[Clan]]. Two new [[Houses]] were formed, [[House Galeres]] on [[Garrida]] and, on the other inhabitable world of the [[Coronoda]] system, [[Mar Sala]], a [[House]] was established to bear his name. [[Sith Warrior]] Shark was the first [[Quaestor]] of [[House]] Qel-Droma while [[Nighthawk]] was now [[Consul]] of [[Arcona]].

=== Oriens Obscurum and the Reordering ===

While [[Arcona]] was prospering, a neighboring [[Clan]], [[Scholae Palatinae]], was doing far less well. They had deteriorated to a point where barely more than a single [[House]]'s worth of [[Jedi]] were left and thus it was decided to downgrade the [[Clan]] to a [[House]]. This House was then given to [[Clan Arcona]]. Many talented members, especially veteran [[Sith]] called this [[House]] their home and it became a great asset to the [[Clan]]. Then came the day when [[Grand Master]] Khyron ordered the most massive restructuring the [[Brotherhood]] had ever seen. No longer were [[Houses]] to have members of all three [[Order]]s but they were to concentrate their powers on one [[Order]] and its abilities, with a [[Clan]] having one [[Krath]] [[House]], one [[Sith]] [[House]] and one [[Obelisk]] [[House]]. [[House Galeres]] had traditionally been strong with [[Obelisk]] members and had [[DJM]] Blazer, a former [[CoG]] as their [[Quaestor]], so it was natural for them to become the [[Obelisk]] [[House]]. Qel-Droma was as natural a choice for [[Krath]] given their namesake and location, so [[House Oriens Obscurum]] became [[Sith]]. [[Archpriest]] Gavron became the first [[Quaestor]] of the restructured [[House]] Qel-Droma.

=== Lord Thedek's Reign ===

These incidents fell just before [[Grand Master]] Khyron retired. In his place, Lord Thedek was appointed [[Grand Master]]. As a result of his ascension, [[Nighthawk]] was appointed [[Master at Arms]] and Gavron was chosen as the new [[Consul]] for [[Arcona]]. The new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma was Joker, although he unfortunately had to relinquish the post shortly after appointment due to a ship collision that left him out of commission for several months, nearly killing him. Following in his footsteps were Frost (aided by [[AED]] Zander) and then [[Alex d`Tana]] (with [[KPN]] Voranyen as [[Aedile]]). In this time, [[House]] Qel-Droma had two [[Krath]] [[Phyle]]s, the Dark Orb [[Phyle]] and the Loreseekers. Following a gradual decline in membership, the Loreseekers were closed, leaving Dark Orb as the only [[Phyle]] in [[House]] Qel-Droma.

=== The Recent Past ===

While the resignation of Lord Thedek and the ascension of Lord Zoraan to the Iron Throne had little effect on the [[House]], it still marked the timeline. Some time after Zoraan had assumed rulership, [[House]] Qel-Droma had again regrown somewhat. A second [[Phyle]] was reinstated under the command of [[Jedi Hunter]] Cyrax Lionheart, but Cyrax never made it to any exploits as he was one day found dead in his chambers. Succeeding him was [[Acolyte]] Kaiann, a recent graduate of the [[Shadow Academy]]. At the same time, Alex also resigned and am ambitious young [[Archpriest]], named [[Mejas Doto]], was appointed the new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma. Dark Orb [[Phyle]] remained in the capable hands of [[Krath Priest]] D'hak and [[Pontifex]] Voranyen continued on as [[Aedile]].

=== Another Haunting Visit ===

Around these days, the Cathedral found itself in uproar again. Several younger [[Jedi]] had apparitions, especially of Ulic Qel-Droma and those who had been killed centuries ago. In a dreadful night, Qel- Droma came back to once again haunt the place he died, leaving two [[Acolyte]]s dead before finally being dispatched by the joint efforts of the [[Quaestor]] and several of the younger [[Jedi]]. They recognized the meaning of Kasal Diglapari's prophecy and thus it was decided to name the second [[Phyle]] Hell's Gatekeepers.

== History of Qel-Droma ==

=== The Fall of Ulic Qel-Droma ===

Thousands of years ago, the former light Jedi Master Ulic Qel-Droma had become the first High Priest of the [[Krath]] and enemy of the Light [[Jedi]]. In a battle that lasted over a decade and cost the lives of millions on both sides, Ulic Qel-Droma was ultimately driven back to a remote corner of the Galaxy, near a small world called Aurora Prime. He set up a refuge and fortress there and held those for another three years against overwhelming odds. Finally however, the enemy forces, outnumbering Qel-Droma's by more than ten to one, were able to penetrate the fort. Not to be taken captive, Qel- Droma and six of his closest aides took their lives in one of the darkest [[Krath]] rituals ever imagined, ripping each other's hearts from their bodies on the highest tower at the light of the last sunray of the day. Their mission seemingly fulfilled, the Light troops left the fortress and the world, never to return.

=== A Spirit Unfulfilled ===

However, in spirit, Qel-Droma was not dead, nor was any of the six who died with him. They lived on in the [[Force]], haunting the world they were left on in solitude. Not really alive nor really dead, they spent the next millennia on their deserted world, unable to find final rest but unable to do anything either. The Old Republic came and with it came the Forces to destroy Darkness. A small band of [[Dark Jedi]] retreated to the place where Qel-Droma had died and built the base of a [[Krath]] cathedral. They taught there for sixty years until, in an inexplicable incident, all but one of them were killed in one night of bloody battle against no foe. The one survivor's name was Kasal Diglapari and it was after this fateful night that he wrote his first Prophecy, a tale of young [[Dark Jedi]] and a spirit never able to rest.

=== Arcona's Ascension and Fall ===

It was still several hundred years later, after the fall of Palpatine, that the next incident happened. During the reign of [[Grand Master]] Khyron, a [[Dark Jedi]] [[House]] was formed in the system where Ulic Qel-Droma had seen his last battle. The House was named [[Arcona]] and its first leader was [[Sith Warrior]] Donitz. Donitz however never made it to the day to see his [[House]] fully established as the day before the [[Grand Master]] was to give his official approval and blessing, he disappeared into the nothingness of Space, never to be seen again. Instead of him, [[Krath]] ]]Pontifex]] Gilkane was instated into the position of [[Quaestor]], aided by [[Obelisk Warrior]] Dreadnaught. [[Arcona]] was blessed with a large amount of talent and immediately seized Right of Supremacy among all [[Houses]] in the next vendetta. After the vendetta, [[Pontifex]] Gilkane resigned to go into the wilderness and work on his own [[Force]] understanding and Dreadnaught was called upon to establish a new [[House]]'s presence elsewhere. So the leadership of [[Arcona]] fell to [[Krath]] Priestess Lioness. Lioness was eager and talented, but she had ideas not in accordance with what the [[Dark Council]] expected and was in the end forced to resign her leadership. No replacement was appointed and [[House]] [[Arcona]] began to crumble.

=== Nighthawk and the New Arcona ===

It was several months later that a young and loyel [[Jedi Hunter]] named [[Nighthawk]] approached the [[Dark Council]] with the request for permission to rebuild the presence that had once been [[House]] [[Arcona]]. He had the support of Lioness' former [[Aedile]], [[Warrior]] Shark, and together they began a steady process of growth. In less than a year, what had been a dead [[House]] was a flourishing assembly of 70 [[Dark Jedi]] of all ranks and so it was decided to expand [[Arcona]] into a [[Clan]]. Two new [[Houses]] were formed, [[House Galeres]] on [[Garrida]] and, on the other inhabitable world of the [[Coronoda]] system, [[Mar Sala]], a [[House]] was established to bear his name. [[Sith Warrior]] Shark was the first [[Quaestor]] of [[House]] Qel-Droma while [[Nighthawk]] was now [[Consul]] of [[Arcona]].

=== Oriens Obscurum and the Reordering ===

While [[Arcona]] was prospering, a neighboring [[Clan]], [[Scholae Palatinae]], was doing far less well. They had deteriorated to a point where barely more than a single [[House]]'s worth of [[Jedi]] were left and thus it was decided to downgrade the [[Clan]] to a [[House]]. This House was then given to [[Clan Arcona]]. Many talented members, especially veteran [[Sith]] called this [[House]] their home and it became a great asset to the [[Clan]]. Then came the day when [[Grand Master]] Khyron ordered the most massive restructuring the [[Brotherhood]] had ever seen. No longer were [[Houses]] to have members of all three [[Order]]s but they were to concentrate their powers on one [[Order]] and its abilities, with a [[Clan]] having one [[Krath]] [[House]], one [[Sith]] [[House]] and one [[Obelisk]] [[House]]. [[House Galeres]] had traditionally been strong with [[Obelisk]] members and had [[DJM]] Blazer, a former [[CoG]] as their [[Quaestor]], so it was natural for them to become the [[Obelisk]] [[House]]. Qel-Droma was as natural a choice for [[Krath]] given their namesake and location, so [[House Oriens Obscurum]] became [[Sith]]. [[Archpriest]] Gavron became the first [[Quaestor]] of the restructured [[House]] Qel-Droma.

=== Lord Thedek's Reign ===

These incidents fell just before [[Grand Master]] Khyron retired. In his place, Lord Thedek was appointed [[Grand Master]]. As a result of his ascension, [[Nighthawk]] was appointed [[Master at Arms]] and Gavron was chosen as the new [[Consul]] for [[Arcona]]. The new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma was Joker, although he unfortunately had to relinquish the post shortly after appointment due to a ship collision that left him out of commission for several months, nearly killing him. Following in his footsteps were Frost (aided by [[AED]] Zander) and then [[Alex d`Tana]] (with [[KPN]] Voranyen as [[Aedile]]). In this time, [[House]] Qel-Droma had two [[Krath]] [[Phyle]]s, the Dark Orb [[Phyle]] and the Loreseekers. Following a gradual decline in membership, the Loreseekers were closed, leaving Dark Orb as the only [[Phyle]] in [[House]] Qel-Droma.

=== The Recent Past ===

While the resignation of Lord Thedek and the ascension of Lord Zoraan to the Iron Throne had little effect on the [[House]], it still marked the timeline. Some time after Zoraan had assumed rulership, [[House]] Qel-Droma had again regrown somewhat. A second [[Phyle]] was reinstated under the command of [[Jedi Hunter]] Cyrax Lionheart, but Cyrax never made it to any exploits as he was one day found dead in his chambers. Succeeding him was [[Acolyte]] Kaiann, a recent graduate of the [[Shadow Academy]]. At the same time, Alex also resigned and am ambitious young [[Archpriest]], named [[Mejas Doto]], was appointed the new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma. Dark Orb [[Phyle]] remained in the capable hands of [[Krath Priest]] D'hak and [[Pontifex]] Voranyen continued on as [[Aedile]].

=== Another Haunting Visit ===

Around these days, the Cathedral found itself in uproar again. Several younger [[Jedi]] had apparitions, especially of Ulic Qel-Droma and those who had been killed centuries ago. In a dreadful night, Qel- Droma came back to once again haunt the place he died, leaving two [[Acolyte]]s dead before finally being dispatched by the joint efforts of the [[Quaestor]] and several of the younger [[Jedi]]. They recognized the meaning of Kasal Diglapari's prophecy and thus it was decided to name the second [[Phyle]] Hell's Gatekeepers.

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

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

==Orders in Galeres==

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

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

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

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

* [[House Galeres:Base|View details of Galeres' Base]]

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

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

===Galeres Troika===

House Galeres is first known for its Fighters, the skill of its Obelisk warriors. It has always been known as a Warrior House; however that is not to say that it is lacking in the other aspects of the brotherhood – merely that it specialises in the area of personal, single combat. These three individuals that display…singular skills are chosen by the Quaestor and the Aedile from the ranks of House Galeres and the recipient keeps the title for as long as the Quaestor and Aedile feel he is deserving. There have even been mutterings of a title being given to the participants indefinitely; however, this could just be conjecture.

====The First Blade of Galeres====
There is always one that stands out in the ranks of Galeres as the first combatant, the vanguard, the harbinger, the First Blade of Galeres. He is a blademaster with his sabre; he has a grasp of single combat that is unparalleled, even by the members of Soulfire Strike Team and is in every way a formidable adversary. Usually, the member has received Royal Guardsman training; however that isn’t a requisite for the holder of the title.

====The Prodigy of Galeres====
These are rare, but instantly noticeable, even in the excellence of Galeres. There is always one person that shines through the rank and file with unparalleled drive, ambition and tenacity in pursing the best interests of the House and Clan. It is clear from the outset that this member will do great things for Galeres, and for their own nefarious ends.

====The Adjunct of Galeres====
This, the third in the Troika of Galeres is probably the most subtle. He is not known for his superior skill with a blade or his level of aggression when pursuing outward goals of the House. Instead, this member is known for his quiet, consistent work behind the scenes, assisting the summit with their administration of the House. He is usually one of the longer-serving members and his experience will far outweigh that of other members.

====The Shard of Garrida====
Taken from the Garrida Stone during the split, this shard of purest teal carbon (thought to be similar to a diamond in it’s consistency) is laced with veins of rich green running through the interior of the transparent crystal. The original stone was destroyed during the chaos of the split, and the Shard of Garrida is now all that remains of this one prestigious artefact. The Shard is given to the First Blade of Galeres, and is to be used as a Lightsaber focusing crystal. It gives the blade a rich turquoise/teal colour and makes the sabre blade more resistant to other lightsabres.

====The Mantle of Prodigy====
A piece of stylised armour, the design originally taken from an ancient Sith Warlord’s battle armour, the Mantle of prodigy is essentially a set of shoulder protectors with the Galeres symbol carved into the front & back, complete with a lustrous narrow cape coming down the back to the wearer’s ankles. This mantle protects the wearer from melee attacks such as vibroblades, but is unable to stave off lightsaber blows, and also grants the prodigy access to any of the fighters, shuttles, bombers or gunships in the Arcona fleet.

====Galeres Signet Ring====
A small silver ring devoid of any adornment save for two indented lines running parallel around the circumference of the ring, it seems to be made of a lightweight medal such as Titanium. Whilst not overtly showy, this piece of hand-wear grants the wearer access to almost everywhere in the Galeres properties and also contains a specifically patterned piece of bio-circuitry that allows the user to access confidential files in the Galerian computers, granting them carte blanche in everywhere but the areas reserved for the Quaestor. With this ring, the Adjunct can better aid his House Summit and the level off access available to the Adjunct is a sign of the level of trust he has been bestowed.

==Galeres Merit Awards==
House Galeres has always prided itself on its individuality, its unwillingness to follow but its nature to lead. It was the first Obelisk House of the Brotherhood, and as such was something of a trend-setter in the times before the Exodus. As such, the House leadership brought in their own merit award system for their members when they felt a more personal touch was necessary.

====Archivist Droid====
For some of the Journeymen of Galeres, the ‘theory’ work they are forced to go through is a rigmarole that leaves them little time for their preferred areas of study. An Archivist droid is the answer to this. Given as a low level award to some Journeymen that have excelled in a Feud, Vendetta or DB-wide event, the Archivist droid assists them in their training, helping them research obscure texts, translate ancient Sith tomes and is even useful as a protocol/general servant droid, being able to manage housework and culinary duties.

====Kama====
A protective garment worn around the back of the waist to protect the wearer’s legs from shrapnel – it is more ceremonial in nature than anything else, and was historically worn by the Thyrsus Sun Guard. This dark grey garment is worn in addition to the standard Galeres armour to protect the wearer’s upper legs and knees and is awarded for exemplary effort in a vendetta or other competitive event.

====Pauldron====
A Mark of Rank in Galeres, the Pauldron is worn on the shoulders of the Galeres armour to identify the Galerians that have been given command of a section of the Arcona Military Forces. Dark Blue in colour, it immediately differentiates the Commanders from the rank and file.

===Soulfire Award===
Soulfire Strike Team only has one award – one that reflects the Mandalorian origins of a lot of its members. The award is given out for life, and is quite similar to the Corellian Bloodstripes in its ideal.

====Jaig Eyes====
Originally a Mandalorian award for bravery, the Jaig Eyes are a stylised Jai’galaar eyes painted onto the helmet of Mandalorian warriors’ armour. Soulfire mirrored this and gave the Jaig Eyes out to its members who had displayed particular acts of bravery.

==House Facts==
===Logo Symbology===
[[image:Galeres.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Galeres Logo]]
* It's a "G" for Galeres
* The curves and points, which bring violence to mind. Smooth arcs give a more peaceful feeling that doesn't really work for such an aggressive force. The curves used evoke blades, fire, danger in a glance.
* Space: At the time, Galeres was heavy in Sith, and the impression of space combat was needed somewhat...this is where the 'black hole' feel comes in on the right side.
* Identity marking. A house logo has to be able to fit within the medallions of a warbanner, as well as look good on a webpage, and at any resolution....therefore, going with a more simple and elegant design is favorable to going overly complex, where the subtleties would be lost, and the logo not immediately identifiable...which would negate the purpose.

== History of Qel-Droma ==

=== The Fall of Ulic Qel-Droma ===

Thousands of years ago, the former light Jedi Master Ulic Qel-Droma had become the first High Priest of the [[Krath]] and enemy of the Light [[Jedi]]. In a battle that lasted over a decade and cost the lives of millions on both sides, Ulic Qel-Droma was ultimately driven back to a remote corner of the Galaxy, near a small world called Aurora Prime. He set up a refuge and fortress there and held those for another three years against overwhelming odds. Finally however, the enemy forces, outnumbering Qel-Droma's by more than ten to one, were able to penetrate the fort. Not to be taken captive, Qel- Droma and six of his closest aides took their lives in one of the darkest [[Krath]] rituals ever imagined, ripping each other's hearts from their bodies on the highest tower at the light of the last sunray of the day. Their mission seemingly fulfilled, the Light troops left the fortress and the world, never to return.

=== A Spirit Unfulfilled ===

However, in spirit, Qel-Droma was not dead, nor was any of the six who died with him. They lived on in the [[Force]], haunting the world they were left on in solitude. Not really alive nor really dead, they spent the next millennia on their deserted world, unable to find final rest but unable to do anything either. The Old Republic came and with it came the Forces to destroy Darkness. A small band of [[Dark Jedi]] retreated to the place where Qel-Droma had died and built the base of a [[Krath]] cathedral. They taught there for sixty years until, in an inexplicable incident, all but one of them were killed in one night of bloody battle against no foe. The one survivor's name was Kasal Diglapari and it was after this fateful night that he wrote his first Prophecy, a tale of young [[Dark Jedi]] and a spirit never able to rest.

=== Arcona's Ascension and Fall ===

It was still several hundred years later, after the fall of Palpatine, that the next incident happened. During the reign of [[Grand Master]] Khyron, a [[Dark Jedi]] [[House]] was formed in the system where Ulic Qel-Droma had seen his last battle. The House was named [[Arcona]] and its first leader was [[Sith Warrior]] Donitz. Donitz however never made it to the day to see his [[House]] fully established as the day before the [[Grand Master]] was to give his official approval and blessing, he disappeared into the nothingness of Space, never to be seen again. Instead of him, [[Krath]] ]]Pontifex]] Gilkane was instated into the position of [[Quaestor]], aided by [[Obelisk Warrior]] Dreadnaught. [[Arcona]] was blessed with a large amount of talent and immediately seized Right of Supremacy among all [[Houses]] in the next vendetta. After the vendetta, [[Pontifex]] Gilkane resigned to go into the wilderness and work on his own [[Force]] understanding and Dreadnaught was called upon to establish a new [[House]]'s presence elsewhere. So the leadership of [[Arcona]] fell to [[Krath]] Priestess Lioness. Lioness was eager and talented, but she had ideas not in accordance with what the [[Dark Council]] expected and was in the end forced to resign her leadership. No replacement was appointed and [[House]] [[Arcona]] began to crumble.

=== Nighthawk and the New Arcona ===

It was several months later that a young and loyel [[Jedi Hunter]] named [[Nighthawk]] approached the [[Dark Council]] with the request for permission to rebuild the presence that had once been [[House]] [[Arcona]]. He had the support of Lioness' former [[Aedile]], [[Warrior]] Shark, and together they began a steady process of growth. In less than a year, what had been a dead [[House]] was a flourishing assembly of 70 [[Dark Jedi]] of all ranks and so it was decided to expand [[Arcona]] into a [[Clan]]. Two new [[Houses]] were formed, [[House Galeres]] on [[Garrida]] and, on the other inhabitable world of the [[Coronoda]] system, [[Mar Sala]], a [[House]] was established to bear his name. [[Sith Warrior]] Shark was the first [[Quaestor]] of [[House]] Qel-Droma while [[Nighthawk]] was now [[Consul]] of [[Arcona]].

=== Oriens Obscurum and the Reordering ===

While [[Arcona]] was prospering, a neighboring [[Clan]], [[Scholae Palatinae]], was doing far less well. They had deteriorated to a point where barely more than a single [[House]]'s worth of [[Jedi]] were left and thus it was decided to downgrade the [[Clan]] to a [[House]]. This House was then given to [[Clan Arcona]]. Many talented members, especially veteran [[Sith]] called this [[House]] their home and it became a great asset to the [[Clan]]. Then came the day when [[Grand Master]] Khyron ordered the most massive restructuring the [[Brotherhood]] had ever seen. No longer were [[Houses]] to have members of all three [[Order]]s but they were to concentrate their powers on one [[Order]] and its abilities, with a [[Clan]] having one [[Krath]] [[House]], one [[Sith]] [[House]] and one [[Obelisk]] [[House]]. [[House Galeres]] had traditionally been strong with [[Obelisk]] members and had [[DJM]] Blazer, a former [[CoG]] as their [[Quaestor]], so it was natural for them to become the [[Obelisk]] [[House]]. Qel-Droma was as natural a choice for [[Krath]] given their namesake and location, so [[House Oriens Obscurum]] became [[Sith]]. [[Archpriest]] Gavron became the first [[Quaestor]] of the restructured [[House]] Qel-Droma.

=== Lord Thedek's Reign ===

These incidents fell just before [[Grand Master]] Khyron retired. In his place, Lord Thedek was appointed [[Grand Master]]. As a result of his ascension, [[Nighthawk]] was appointed [[Master at Arms]] and Gavron was chosen as the new [[Consul]] for [[Arcona]]. The new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma was Joker, although he unfortunately had to relinquish the post shortly after appointment due to a ship collision that left him out of commission for several months, nearly killing him. Following in his footsteps were Frost (aided by [[AED]] Zander) and then [[Alex d`Tana]] (with [[KPN]] Voranyen as [[Aedile]]). In this time, [[House]] Qel-Droma had two [[Krath]] [[Phyle]]s, the Dark Orb [[Phyle]] and the Loreseekers. Following a gradual decline in membership, the Loreseekers were closed, leaving Dark Orb as the only [[Phyle]] in [[House]] Qel-Droma.

=== The Recent Past ===

While the resignation of Lord Thedek and the ascension of Lord Zoraan to the Iron Throne had little effect on the [[House]], it still marked the timeline. Some time after Zoraan had assumed rulership, [[House]] Qel-Droma had again regrown somewhat. A second [[Phyle]] was reinstated under the command of [[Jedi Hunter]] Cyrax Lionheart, but Cyrax never made it to any exploits as he was one day found dead in his chambers. Succeeding him was [[Acolyte]] Kaiann, a recent graduate of the [[Shadow Academy]]. At the same time, Alex also resigned and am ambitious young [[Archpriest]], named [[Mejas Doto]], was appointed the new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma. Dark Orb [[Phyle]] remained in the capable hands of [[Krath Priest]] D'hak and [[Pontifex]] Voranyen continued on as [[Aedile]].

=== Another Haunting Visit ===

Around these days, the Cathedral found itself in uproar again. Several younger [[Jedi]] had apparitions, especially of Ulic Qel-Droma and those who had been killed centuries ago. In a dreadful night, Qel- Droma came back to once again haunt the place he died, leaving two [[Acolyte]]s dead before finally being dispatched by the joint efforts of the [[Quaestor]] and several of the younger [[Jedi]]. They recognized the meaning of Kasal Diglapari's prophecy and thus it was decided to name the second [[Phyle]] Hell's Gatekeepers.

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

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

==Orders in Galeres==

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

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

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

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

* [[House Galeres:Base|View details of Galeres' Base]]

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

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

===Galeres Troika===

House Galeres is first known for its Fighters, the skill of its Obelisk warriors. It has always been known as a Warrior House; however that is not to say that it is lacking in the other aspects of the brotherhood – merely that it specialises in the area of personal, single combat. These three individuals that display…singular skills are chosen by the Quaestor and the Aedile from the ranks of House Galeres and the recipient keeps the title for as long as the Quaestor and Aedile feel he is deserving. There have even been mutterings of a title being given to the participants indefinitely; however, this could just be conjecture.

====The First Blade of Galeres====
There is always one that stands out in the ranks of Galeres as the first combatant, the vanguard, the harbinger, the First Blade of Galeres. He is a blademaster with his sabre; he has a grasp of single combat that is unparalleled, even by the members of Soulfire Strike Team and is in every way a formidable adversary. Usually, the member has received Royal Guardsman training; however that isn’t a requisite for the holder of the title.

====The Prodigy of Galeres====
These are rare, but instantly noticeable, even in the excellence of Galeres. There is always one person that shines through the rank and file with unparalleled drive, ambition and tenacity in pursing the best interests of the House and Clan. It is clear from the outset that this member will do great things for Galeres, and for their own nefarious ends.

====The Adjunct of Galeres====
This, the third in the Troika of Galeres is probably the most subtle. He is not known for his superior skill with a blade or his level of aggression when pursuing outward goals of the House. Instead, this member is known for his quiet, consistent work behind the scenes, assisting the summit with their administration of the House. He is usually one of the longer-serving members and his experience will far outweigh that of other members.

====The Shard of Garrida====
Taken from the Garrida Stone during the split, this shard of purest teal carbon (thought to be similar to a diamond in it’s consistency) is laced with veins of rich green running through the interior of the transparent crystal. The original stone was destroyed during the chaos of the split, and the Shard of Garrida is now all that remains of this one prestigious artefact. The Shard is given to the First Blade of Galeres, and is to be used as a Lightsaber focusing crystal. It gives the blade a rich turquoise/teal colour and makes the sabre blade more resistant to other lightsabres.

====The Mantle of Prodigy====
A piece of stylised armour, the design originally taken from an ancient Sith Warlord’s battle armour, the Mantle of prodigy is essentially a set of shoulder protectors with the Galeres symbol carved into the front & back, complete with a lustrous narrow cape coming down the back to the wearer’s ankles. This mantle protects the wearer from melee attacks such as vibroblades, but is unable to stave off lightsaber blows, and also grants the prodigy access to any of the fighters, shuttles, bombers or gunships in the Arcona fleet.

====Galeres Signet Ring====
A small silver ring devoid of any adornment save for two indented lines running parallel around the circumference of the ring, it seems to be made of a lightweight medal such as Titanium. Whilst not overtly showy, this piece of hand-wear grants the wearer access to almost everywhere in the Galeres properties and also contains a specifically patterned piece of bio-circuitry that allows the user to access confidential files in the Galerian computers, granting them carte blanche in everywhere but the areas reserved for the Quaestor. With this ring, the Adjunct can better aid his House Summit and the level off access available to the Adjunct is a sign of the level of trust he has been bestowed.

==Galeres Merit Awards==
House Galeres has always prided itself on its individuality, its unwillingness to follow but its nature to lead. It was the first Obelisk House of the Brotherhood, and as such was something of a trend-setter in the times before the Exodus. As such, the House leadership brought in their own merit award system for their members when they felt a more personal touch was necessary.

====Archivist Droid====
For some of the Journeymen of Galeres, the ‘theory’ work they are forced to go through is a rigmarole that leaves them little time for their preferred areas of study. An Archivist droid is the answer to this. Given as a low level award to some Journeymen that have excelled in a Feud, Vendetta or DB-wide event, the Archivist droid assists them in their training, helping them research obscure texts, translate ancient Sith tomes and is even useful as a protocol/general servant droid, being able to manage housework and culinary duties.

====Kama====
A protective garment worn around the back of the waist to protect the wearer’s legs from shrapnel – it is more ceremonial in nature than anything else, and was historically worn by the Thyrsus Sun Guard. This dark grey garment is worn in addition to the standard Galeres armour to protect the wearer’s upper legs and knees and is awarded for exemplary effort in a vendetta or other competitive event.

====Pauldron====
A Mark of Rank in Galeres, the Pauldron is worn on the shoulders of the Galeres armour to identify the Galerians that have been given command of a section of the Arcona Military Forces. Dark Blue in colour, it immediately differentiates the Commanders from the rank and file.

===Soulfire Award===
Soulfire Strike Team only has one award – one that reflects the Mandalorian origins of a lot of its members. The award is given out for life, and is quite similar to the Corellian Bloodstripes in its ideal.

====Jaig Eyes====
Originally a Mandalorian award for bravery, the Jaig Eyes are a stylised Jai’galaar eyes painted onto the helmet of Mandalorian warriors’ armour. Soulfire mirrored this and gave the Jaig Eyes out to its members who had displayed particular acts of bravery.

==House Facts==
===Logo Symbology===
[[image:Galeres.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Galeres Logo]]
* It's a "G" for Galeres
* The curves and points, which bring violence to mind. Smooth arcs give a more peaceful feeling that doesn't really work for such an aggressive force. The curves used evoke blades, fire, danger in a glance.
* Space: At the time, Galeres was heavy in Sith, and the impression of space combat was needed somewhat...this is where the 'black hole' feel comes in on the right side.
* Identity marking. A house logo has to be able to fit within the medallions of a warbanner, as well as look good on a webpage, and at any resolution....therefore, going with a more simple and elegant design is favorable to going overly complex, where the subtleties would be lost, and the logo not immediately identifiable...which would negate the purpose.

===Galeres Troika===

House Galeres is first known for its Fighters, the skill of its Obelisk warriors. It has always been known as a Warrior House; however that is not to say that it is lacking in the other aspects of the brotherhood – merely that it specialises in the area of personal, single combat. These three individuals that display…singular skills are chosen by the Quaestor and the Aedile from the ranks of House Galeres and the recipient keeps the title for as long as the Quaestor and Aedile feel he is deserving. There have even been mutterings of a title being given to the participants indefinitely; however, this could just be conjecture.

====The First Blade of Galeres====
There is always one that stands out in the ranks of Galeres as the first combatant, the vanguard, the harbinger, the First Blade of Galeres. He is a blademaster with his sabre; he has a grasp of single combat that is unparalleled, even by the members of Soulfire Strike Team and is in every way a formidable adversary. Usually, the member has received Royal Guardsman training; however that isn’t a requisite for the holder of the title.

====The Prodigy of Galeres====
These are rare, but instantly noticeable, even in the excellence of Galeres. There is always one person that shines through the rank and file with unparalleled drive, ambition and tenacity in pursing the best interests of the House and Clan. It is clear from the outset that this member will do great things for Galeres, and for their own nefarious ends.

====The Adjunct of Galeres====
This, the third in the Troika of Galeres is probably the most subtle. He is not known for his superior skill with a blade or his level of aggression when pursuing outward goals of the House. Instead, this member is known for his quiet, consistent work behind the scenes, assisting the summit with their administration of the House. He is usually one of the longer-serving members and his experience will far outweigh that of other members.

====The Shard of Garrida====
Taken from the Garrida Stone during the split, this shard of purest teal carbon (thought to be similar to a diamond in it’s consistency) is laced with veins of rich green running through the interior of the transparent crystal. The original stone was destroyed during the chaos of the split, and the Shard of Garrida is now all that remains of this one prestigious artefact. The Shard is given to the First Blade of Galeres, and is to be used as a Lightsaber focusing crystal. It gives the blade a rich turquoise/teal colour and makes the sabre blade more resistant to other lightsabres.

====The Mantle of Prodigy====
A piece of stylised armour, the design originally taken from an ancient Sith Warlord’s battle armour, the Mantle of prodigy is essentially a set of shoulder protectors with the Galeres symbol carved into the front & back, complete with a lustrous narrow cape coming down the back to the wearer’s ankles. This mantle protects the wearer from melee attacks such as vibroblades, but is unable to stave off lightsaber blows, and also grants the prodigy access to any of the fighters, shuttles, bombers or gunships in the Arcona fleet.

====Galeres Signet Ring====
A small silver ring devoid of any adornment save for two indented lines running parallel around the circumference of the ring, it seems to be made of a lightweight medal such as Titanium. Whilst not overtly showy, this piece of hand-wear grants the wearer access to almost everywhere in the Galeres properties and also contains a specifically patterned piece of bio-circuitry that allows the user to access confidential files in the Galerian computers, granting them carte blanche in everywhere but the areas reserved for the Quaestor. With this ring, the Adjunct can better aid his House Summit and the level off access available to the Adjunct is a sign of the level of trust he has been bestowed.

==Galeres Merit Awards==
House Galeres has always prided itself on its individuality, its unwillingness to follow but its nature to lead. It was the first Obelisk House of the Brotherhood, and as such was something of a trend-setter in the times before the Exodus. As such, the House leadership brought in their own merit award system for their members when they felt a more personal touch was necessary.

====Archivist Droid====
For some of the Journeymen of Galeres, the ‘theory’ work they are forced to go through is a rigmarole that leaves them little time for their preferred areas of study. An Archivist droid is the answer to this. Given as a low level award to some Journeymen that have excelled in a Feud, Vendetta or DB-wide event, the Archivist droid assists them in their training, helping them research obscure texts, translate ancient Sith tomes and is even useful as a protocol/general servant droid, being able to manage housework and culinary duties.

====Kama====
A protective garment worn around the back of the waist to protect the wearer’s legs from shrapnel – it is more ceremonial in nature than anything else, and was historically worn by the Thyrsus Sun Guard. This dark grey garment is worn in addition to the standard Galeres armour to protect the wearer’s upper legs and knees and is awarded for exemplary effort in a vendetta or other competitive event.

====Pauldron====
A Mark of Rank in Galeres, the Pauldron is worn on the shoulders of the Galeres armour to identify the Galerians that have been given command of a section of the Arcona Military Forces. Dark Blue in colour, it immediately differentiates the Commanders from the rank and file.

===Soulfire Award===
Soulfire Strike Team only has one award – one that reflects the Mandalorian origins of a lot of its members. The award is given out for life, and is quite similar to the Corellian Bloodstripes in its ideal.

====Jaig Eyes====
Originally a Mandalorian award for bravery, the Jaig Eyes are a stylised Jai’galaar eyes painted onto the helmet of Mandalorian warriors’ armour. Soulfire mirrored this and gave the Jaig Eyes out to its members who had displayed particular acts of bravery.

==House Facts==

* It's a "G" for Galeres
* The curves and points, which bring violence to mind. Smooth arcs give a more peaceful feeling that doesn't really work for such an aggressive force. The curves used evoke blades, fire, danger in a glance.
* Space: At the time, Galeres was heavy in Sith, and the impression of space combat was needed somewhat...this is where the 'black hole' feel comes in on the right side.
* Identity marking. A house logo has to be able to fit within the medallions of a warbanner, as well as look good on a webpage, and at any resolution....therefore, going with a more simple and elegant design is favorable to going overly complex, where the subtleties would be lost, and the logo not immediately identifiable...which would negate the purpose.

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

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

==Orders in Galeres==

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

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

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

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

* [[House Galeres:Base|View details of Galeres' Base]]

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

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

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

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

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

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

==From House to Clan==
===Inception===
circa March 1998

During this point in time under the first reign of Grand Master Khyron, the Brotherhood had four Clans; Scholae Palatinae, Satal Keto, Aquillas and Tarentum. The Independant House Naga Sadow also vied for dominance within the Aurora galaxy.

A Sith Warrior by name of Donitz sought to forge a new Independant House, and after gathering enough support House Arcona is forged.

===Expansion===
circa March 1999

Shortly before winning the Orthanc from Satal Keto, Quaestor Nighthawk is granted permission to found our Clan.

Our militant House, Galeres was created to hold the front-line fighters. With legendary battleteams such as the Dark Orb Phyle and Soulfire Brigade, the House spelt out dominance and rulership from their barracks on Garrida. It later became aligned with the Obelisk Order following the benediction of Grand Master Khyron.

House Qel-Droma was created to provide mystical strength to our arsenal, offering guidance and education to all who sought it. From the moon of Mar Sala, the House bided its time, safeguarding Arcona's temple. It was the perfect choice for future alignment with the Krath.

===Scholae Palatinae's Loss; Arcona's Gain===
circa July 1999

A major tragedy befalls Clan Scholae Palatinae, and the Clan is destroyed. Many of the survivors are offered salvation in Arcona, which for a short time takes in Houses Acclivis Draco and Dorimad Sol. These two Houses are later merged to forge the third permanent House of Arcona: Oriens Obscurum, the rising darkness. Oriens is later chosen to oversee our naval fleet, defending Coronada space from their base on Joharta.

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

== History of Qel-Droma ==

=== The Fall of Ulic Qel-Droma ===

Thousands of years ago, the former light Jedi Master Ulic Qel-Droma had become the first High Priest of the [[Krath]] and enemy of the Light [[Jedi]]. In a battle that lasted over a decade and cost the lives of millions on both sides, Ulic Qel-Droma was ultimately driven back to a remote corner of the Galaxy, near a small world called Aurora Prime. He set up a refuge and fortress there and held those for another three years against overwhelming odds. Finally however, the enemy forces, outnumbering Qel-Droma's by more than ten to one, were able to penetrate the fort. Not to be taken captive, Qel- Droma and six of his closest aides took their lives in one of the darkest [[Krath]] rituals ever imagined, ripping each other's hearts from their bodies on the highest tower at the light of the last sunray of the day. Their mission seemingly fulfilled, the Light troops left the fortress and the world, never to return.

=== A Spirit Unfulfilled ===

However, in spirit, Qel-Droma was not dead, nor was any of the six who died with him. They lived on in the [[Force]], haunting the world they were left on in solitude. Not really alive nor really dead, they spent the next millennia on their deserted world, unable to find final rest but unable to do anything either. The Old Republic came and with it came the Forces to destroy Darkness. A small band of [[Dark Jedi]] retreated to the place where Qel-Droma had died and built the base of a [[Krath]] cathedral. They taught there for sixty years until, in an inexplicable incident, all but one of them were killed in one night of bloody battle against no foe. The one survivor's name was Kasal Diglapari and it was after this fateful night that he wrote his first Prophecy, a tale of young [[Dark Jedi]] and a spirit never able to rest.

=== Arcona's Ascension and Fall ===

It was still several hundred years later, after the fall of Palpatine, that the next incident happened. During the reign of [[Grand Master]] Khyron, a [[Dark Jedi]] [[House]] was formed in the system where Ulic Qel-Droma had seen his last battle. The House was named [[Arcona]] and its first leader was [[Sith Warrior]] Donitz. Donitz however never made it to the day to see his [[House]] fully established as the day before the [[Grand Master]] was to give his official approval and blessing, he disappeared into the nothingness of Space, never to be seen again. Instead of him, [[Krath]] ]]Pontifex]] Gilkane was instated into the position of [[Quaestor]], aided by [[Obelisk Warrior]] Dreadnaught. [[Arcona]] was blessed with a large amount of talent and immediately seized Right of Supremacy among all [[Houses]] in the next vendetta. After the vendetta, [[Pontifex]] Gilkane resigned to go into the wilderness and work on his own [[Force]] understanding and Dreadnaught was called upon to establish a new [[House]]'s presence elsewhere. So the leadership of [[Arcona]] fell to [[Krath]] Priestess Lioness. Lioness was eager and talented, but she had ideas not in accordance with what the [[Dark Council]] expected and was in the end forced to resign her leadership. No replacement was appointed and [[House]] [[Arcona]] began to crumble.

=== Nighthawk and the New Arcona ===

It was several months later that a young and loyel [[Jedi Hunter]] named [[Nighthawk]] approached the [[Dark Council]] with the request for permission to rebuild the presence that had once been [[House]] [[Arcona]]. He had the support of Lioness' former [[Aedile]], [[Warrior]] Shark, and together they began a steady process of growth. In less than a year, what had been a dead [[House]] was a flourishing assembly of 70 [[Dark Jedi]] of all ranks and so it was decided to expand [[Arcona]] into a [[Clan]]. Two new [[Houses]] were formed, [[House Galeres]] on [[Garrida]] and, on the other inhabitable world of the [[Coronoda]] system, [[Mar Sala]], a [[House]] was established to bear his name. [[Sith Warrior]] Shark was the first [[Quaestor]] of [[House]] Qel-Droma while [[Nighthawk]] was now [[Consul]] of [[Arcona]].

=== Oriens Obscurum and the Reordering ===

While [[Arcona]] was prospering, a neighboring [[Clan]], [[Scholae Palatinae]], was doing far less well. They had deteriorated to a point where barely more than a single [[House]]'s worth of [[Jedi]] were left and thus it was decided to downgrade the [[Clan]] to a [[House]]. This House was then given to [[Clan Arcona]]. Many talented members, especially veteran [[Sith]] called this [[House]] their home and it became a great asset to the [[Clan]]. Then came the day when [[Grand Master]] Khyron ordered the most massive restructuring the [[Brotherhood]] had ever seen. No longer were [[Houses]] to have members of all three [[Order]]s but they were to concentrate their powers on one [[Order]] and its abilities, with a [[Clan]] having one [[Krath]] [[House]], one [[Sith]] [[House]] and one [[Obelisk]] [[House]]. [[House Galeres]] had traditionally been strong with [[Obelisk]] members and had [[DJM]] Blazer, a former [[CoG]] as their [[Quaestor]], so it was natural for them to become the [[Obelisk]] [[House]]. Qel-Droma was as natural a choice for [[Krath]] given their namesake and location, so [[House Oriens Obscurum]] became [[Sith]]. [[Archpriest]] Gavron became the first [[Quaestor]] of the restructured [[House]] Qel-Droma.

=== Lord Thedek's Reign ===

These incidents fell just before [[Grand Master]] Khyron retired. In his place, Lord Thedek was appointed [[Grand Master]]. As a result of his ascension, [[Nighthawk]] was appointed [[Master at Arms]] and Gavron was chosen as the new [[Consul]] for [[Arcona]]. The new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma was Joker, although he unfortunately had to relinquish the post shortly after appointment due to a ship collision that left him out of commission for several months, nearly killing him. Following in his footsteps were Frost (aided by [[AED]] Zander) and then [[Alex d`Tana]] (with [[KPN]] Voranyen as [[Aedile]]). In this time, [[House]] Qel-Droma had two [[Krath]] [[Phyle]]s, the Dark Orb [[Phyle]] and the Loreseekers. Following a gradual decline in membership, the Loreseekers were closed, leaving Dark Orb as the only [[Phyle]] in [[House]] Qel-Droma.

=== The Recent Past ===

While the resignation of Lord Thedek and the ascension of Lord Zoraan to the Iron Throne had little effect on the [[House]], it still marked the timeline. Some time after Zoraan had assumed rulership, [[House]] Qel-Droma had again regrown somewhat. A second [[Phyle]] was reinstated under the command of [[Jedi Hunter]] Cyrax Lionheart, but Cyrax never made it to any exploits as he was one day found dead in his chambers. Succeeding him was [[Acolyte]] Kaiann, a recent graduate of the [[Shadow Academy]]. At the same time, Alex also resigned and am ambitious young [[Archpriest]], named [[Mejas Doto]], was appointed the new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma. Dark Orb [[Phyle]] remained in the capable hands of [[Krath Priest]] D'hak and [[Pontifex]] Voranyen continued on as [[Aedile]].

=== Another Haunting Visit ===

Around these days, the Cathedral found itself in uproar again. Several younger [[Jedi]] had apparitions, especially of Ulic Qel-Droma and those who had been killed centuries ago. In a dreadful night, Qel- Droma came back to once again haunt the place he died, leaving two [[Acolyte]]s dead before finally being dispatched by the joint efforts of the [[Quaestor]] and several of the younger [[Jedi]]. They recognized the meaning of Kasal Diglapari's prophecy and thus it was decided to name the second [[Phyle]] Hell's Gatekeepers.
