==The Battle for Rhelg==

===Naval Engagement===

With the first planet already under the control of the Brotherhood, Arcona’s navy still felt bitter about the loss that took place on Krayiss II. Taldryan had taken the victory from under the nose of the well trained fleet and the annoyance of the command officers could be seen throughout the ships day to day workings. With this being the second chance for the Arcona fleet to once more prove themselves, the air aboard the Eye of the Abyss II was full of tension. Each Captain from the fleet was summoned to a meeting to talk about the upcoming battle.

[[Wuntila|Wuntila Arconae]] lead this meeting, demanding that the Arconan fleet proved itself to be stronger than the rest of the Brotherhood. As they were given their coordinates to advance onto a planet known as Rhelg with orders in hand, all of the fleet prepared to jump, wanting to prove themselves to be the best of the Brotherhood once more. Alas, Arcona arrived only to once more find the One Sith fleet waiting for them.

Engaging in full scale naval combat, the Arconan forces threw everything they had at the One Sith only to find it was equally powerful. Though the surprise was yet to come, lurking away from the rest was the Eye of the Abyss II, silent and dormant in space. Its Cloaking device activated as it made its way around the enemy lines with ease, while the main fighting was done head to head.

Arcona soon found that their bombers were having trouble getting through the waves of fighters that the One Sith deployed. Taldryan and Odan-Urr were not faring well either. Being held back against the line it seemed that this planet was more difficult to conquer with naval superiority than before. However, the XJ-Wings that recently joined Arcona seemed to be going toe to toe in dog fights against the One Sith’s own fighters.

Without the ability to get their bombers through the lines, it meant that the damage the Shadow Clan’s larger ships were taking would soon penetrate their shielding. As blasts pelted the side of the NSD Invicta, she took damage to her back hull, causing intermittent failure of one of her engines. It was time to once again pull out Arcona’s Naval Procedure. As the ISDII came up alongside the nearest of One Sith’s capital ships, it dropped its cloaking device and fired a broadside into the unsuspecting ships. With one of their capital ships obliterated, the One Sith were left with no other option but to retreat, beaten back by the might of Arcona’s proven Navy and clever use of strategy and tactics on the part of the Arconan commanders..

It didn't take long after that for Arcona to prove its dominance once more, taking glory on the planet as the Arconan fleet dominated the orbit of Rhelg. Now the fighting would be taken to the ground and the prospect of coming out on top was a worthy challenge for the Shadow Clan.

=== Planetside Engagement===

Proconsul [[Marick Arconae]] led the frontal assault of Arcona’s forces on the ground, with [[Cethgus Tiberius Entar Arconae]] close at his side. Marick cleverly divided Arcona’s strength into multiple regiments, and used hit-and-run skirmishes to bait Scholae Palatinae and [[Taldryan]] forces into fighting each other. At the same time, he used these skirmishes as a smokescreen against the enemy One Sith and Black Sun mercenary groups.

Arcona was able to capitalize on their multiple advantages thank to the combined efforts of both seasoned veterans and bright upstarts.

==The Betrayer’s Headstone==

Meanwhile, [[Wuntila]] lead a splinter-company across the frosted terrain, clearing a path towards the Fortress of Ludo Kressh. The Consul had taken it upon himself to lead the first team in, hand-picking [[Socorra Erinos]], [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]], [[Valhavoc]], [[Montresor]], and Invictus. After leaving the rest of the Battle in the hands of Timeros Arconae, Marick joined up to assist his Consul.

Once inside the Fortress, the team quickly dispatched a squad of Black Sun Mercenaries. As the battle died down, however, the Arconan’s fell under an ancient curse that awakened their hidden frustrations. In-fighting broke out until the threat of coming danger drew their attentions away.

Despite having the skill and wherewithal to dispatch the remaining mercenaries, the fortress itself posed the greatest threat to the Consul’s forward team. The spirit of Ludo Kressh was drawn to then-Dark Jedi Knight Montresor, the latter’s thirst for power calling to the contentious Force Ghost. The spectre led Montresor away from his still-fighting Clan mates with the promise of unimaginable strength; little did the Knight or his Arconan comrades know that Ludo Kressh sought a physical vessel to possess, marking his full return to the world of the living.

Simultaneously, Tsainetomo struggled with the fact that he was fighting within the keep of one of Clan Naga Sadow’s philosophical founders. The curse of the keep had an unforeseen effect on him, as a spirit that referred to itself as an “Avatar of War” emerged from within him. This ‘Apostate’ assisted the Consul’s team in defeating the possessed Montresor, who was bedecked in Ludo Kressh’s cursed armor. In the process, he near-fatally wounded several of the team in the process.

The two [[Entar|Entars]] still bristle when reminded about that incident; their time spent in the Fortress was not a fond one. The memories of watching his closest friend and mentor falling under the blade of the One Sith Master found within the ancient structure still haunt the [[Quaestor]] of [[Galeres]]. The experience drove [[Sanguinius Tsucyra|Sanguinius]] to new heights of power and hatred as he cut down the One Sith in revenge before calling for immediate extraction from the building.

Despite the coordination of Arcona’s efforts, the entire Clan still faced many failings within the Fortress. Ludo Kressh’s presence was omnipotent within its walls, and the rage and power affected many others. While some were possessed, like those of Wuntila’s forward team, others experienced great fits of rage, blackouts, loss of conscious control, or otherwise simply channeled the Dark Side in ways they never had.

In the assault team headed by the Galeres Summit, Novice [[Atyiru Araave]] unknowingly launched a powerful Force Lightning attack (typically reserved for Sith Lords) on both Cethgus and Sanguinius. The two leaders were knocked unconscious as a result and are still teased about the incident to the day by the recently knighted Miraluka.

==My Enemy, My Friend==

Arcona’s sole Mon Calamari, [[Troutrooper]], was gunned down while in a dogfight with a One Sith pilot, but not before inflicting severe damage to the enemy’s fighter as well. The [[Dark Jedi Master]] was injured in the ensuing crash; he has since fully recovered. [[Shadow Taldrya]] prevented Troutrooper from realizing his grand plans as the Son of Taldrya finished what Troutrooper began.

==History==

===Team Alpha===

===Team Bravo===

===Team Charlie===

WORDS GO HERE

===Team Delta===

Delta team consisted of [[Vynn Salm|Vynn]], [[Sanguinius Tsucyra|Sang]], [[Ood Bnar|Ood]], [[Wes Biriuk|Wes]], and [[Kratus Vahillus|Kratus]]

With orders given to the [[Quaestor]] of [[Galeres]] to support the attempts to get bodies aboard the SSD Avenger that hung in orbit over [[Antei]], [[Sanguinius Tsucyra|Sanguinius]] commanded the Galerians in his presence to join him in this endeavor: [[Ood Bnar]], the old but mad Neti, [[Vynn Salm]], the former Palatinaean, [[Kratus Vahillus]], the embittered old half cyborg former pirate and [[Wes Biriuk]], the soon to be Sergeant of [[Spectre Cell]].

The group of Dark Jedi rushed to the nearest shuttle, co-opting the pilot to take them up to the Avenger, just another part of the wave of ships approaching the Super Star Destroyer. The terrified pilot was forced at blaster point by Wes to fly straight into the hangar bay, which was filled with enemy combatants.

Before the shuttle had even come to a stop as it skidded along the hangar deck, the door opened and five Dark Jedi leapt out, led by their Quaestor. Lightsabers ignited, the Arconans took to the fore, assaulting the One Sith troopers stationed in the hangar. Their attack allowed the other strike teams from [[Arcona]] to infiltrate the Avenger, as the One Sith concentrated on the Hangar Bay.

===Team Foxtrot===
[[Etah]], [[Putra]], [[Kalon Dane]], Valeriuskane, [[Anduriel]]

{{Quote|”It’s all over but the shooting”|Etah to his team as they breached the Avenger II}}

Arcona Intelligence was concerned that the SSD Avenger II would flee the system and head to areas more secure, effectively marooning all members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood that were aboard. So Etah assembled Team Foxtrot which included core members of the Spectre Cell Battle Team with two reinforcements. Their mission was to take the engine room, disable the engine without destroying it and occupy the engine room until the SSD was pacified.

The team moved about using a type of orthodox military movement called ‘bounding overwatch’ in conjunction with another tactical concept called ‘initiative based tactics’, meaning each person moved as their training dictated with a minimum amount of direction. Etah meticulously prepared his ad hoc team with diagrams, readouts, blueprints, technical specs and walkthroughs. The Equite members of the team, Etah and Putra, used lightsabers and blasters while the junior members of the team used blaster rifles. In the end, they managed to make it to the engine room, but found that the controls had been destroyed and needed to be configured from the bridge itself.
