{{quote|'''An illusion is always most effective when you’re showing someone what they want to see, what they expect to see.'''|Selika Roh}}
'''Selika Roh''' is a [[Sith]] [[EL3|Prophet]], [[Consul]] of [[Clan Plagueis]], and the former [[Herald]] of the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. Born during the waning years of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]], she grew up among the Noble Houses of [[starwars:Empress Teta|Empress Teta]]. Political upheaval following the Empire’s collapse led to the overthrow of the royal government during her youth and years of captivity that ultimately revealed her sensitivity to the [[starwars:Force|Force]]. Her search for training and purpose eventually led her to the [[One Sith]], and later to the Dark Brotherhood during the [[Dark Crusade]].

Following her defection during the Dark Crusade, Selika rose steadily through the ranks of Clan Plagueis and the wider Brotherhood. Known for her strategic insight, political maneuvering, and command of the dark side, she became one of the Clan’s most influential members. Her career eventually carried her beyond Plagueis itself to the [[Dark Council]], where she later oversaw the [[Shroud Syndicate]]. In time she returned to her home Clan, once again assuming leadership as Dread Lord of Plagueis.

== Biography ==
=== Early life (1 BBY - 5 ABY) ===
[[file:Selika_by_igloinor.jpg|thumb|left|145px|Selika at age 6 in 5 ABY.]]
Selika was born on the [[starwars:Deep Core|Deep Core]] world of [[starwars:Empress Teta|Empress Teta]] in [[25 BBY to 1 BBY|1 BBY]] in the waning days of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]]. Her father Lial Roh was the youngest scion of House Roh, one of the [[starwars:Ancient Houses|Ancient Houses]] and a prominent noble family on Empress Teta with roots stretching back thousands of years. The family, ascendent in the noble hierarchy under the rule of [[starwars:Darth Sidious|Palpatine’s]] Empire, was close to the throne and Lial held the position of [[starwars:Duke|Duke]]. Her mother, Nilan, was a member of House Methil and married Lial at a young age as part of an alliance between their two houses.

Born into the luxury of two noble houses, Selika’s early childhood was one of comfort. Like many nobles, however, she spent far more time in the care of nannies and various members of the house staff than she did her own parents. As a young child, she became close friends with Celes Maza, the daughter of her mother’s own [[starwars:Handmaiden|handmaiden]]. The servant girl would come to be assigned to Selika by the age of five to be trained as handmaiden herself. The bond forged at that young age would persist for years to follow. Given the highly stratified nature of Empress Teta’s society, the nobility rarely interacted with the commoners with House Roh being no different. A system that had persisted for thousands of years was, however, unprepared to cope with the collapse of Imperial Order, and Selika’s idyllic life would begin to crumble along with it.

=== Turmoil on Empress Teta (5 ABY - 14 ABY) ===
==== Fall from grace ====
While the Emperor’s death at Endor had a major impact on the Empire, it wasn’t until the Empire’s final military defeat at the [[starwars:Battle of Jakku|Battle of Jakku]] that the citizenry of the Empire truly comprehended that the end of the Empire had arrived. The terms of the [[starwars:Galactic Concordance|Galactic Concordance]] left Empress Teta crippled under crushing reparations and the citizenry increasingly held the ruling elite responsible. Two years after the Imperial surrender, the economy was still declining. A year after that, and the public’s backlash was becoming increasingly hard to ignore. House Roh, like its counterparts, was forced to liquidate much if it’s assets to put towards reparations payments in order to attempt to placate the populace.

The home that Selika had grown up in was sold and servants discharged. Moving into a smaller accommodation in the capital district, Selika’s world seemed to come crashing down. Her one constant was her handmaiden Celes. Her tutors gone, Selika began attending a school for the first time in her life. The exposure to those outside the nobility, many of them angry at the ruling class, served as a rude awakening. She was bullied constantly by other students, often reduced to tears by verbal and physical attacks. Soon, however, the simmering unrest of the population would move beyond bullying and boil over.

A growing populist movement was sweeping through the planet spanning city of Empress Teta. It had formed shortly after the end of the [[starwars:Galactic Civil War|Galactic Civil War]], but even in the economic chaos that followed it had not been more than an exceedingly vocal minority. The movement would explode in the latter part of [[0 BBY to 9 ABY|9 ABY]], however. In a move to grab more control of the planet’s [[starwars:Carbonite|carbonite]] industry, off-world banks withdrew loans to Korosian companies. This sent shocks throughout the planet’s economy that lead to an explosion of unemployment. Before the off world corporations could step in the economy completely collapsed. The last vestige of the old order would be gone within the year.

==== Prisoner ====
[[file:young_selika_by_karolding.jpg|thumb|150px|Captive of the Black Sun.]]
Known as the Crimson Night (named for the amount of blood spilled), the violence started in the early evening on the third day of the Festival of Life [[starwars:Fete Weeks|Fete Week]] in [[10 ABY to 19 ABY|10 ABY]]. Unemployed dockworkers began a march to the Capital Spaceport, but it soon degenerated into a riot. Many of the police and military units, themselves having not been paid for months, joined with the rioters as the chaos spread throughout the capital district. As night fell, the district descended into total anarchy. Selika’s family along with the Maza’s sought refuge in their home as the power grid failed and the city plunged into a darkness lit only by the fires set by rioters.

The rage that was fueled by a half decade of depression was especially directed at the ruling elite. Selika’s father, well known to the populace, was amongst those targeted. Nearly twenty men descended on the Roh home during the night, looking to exact revenge against one of the visible representations of their oppression. As the mob beat her father to death before Selika’s eyes, her mother and her handmaiden were shot as they tried to come to his aid by two members of the capitol police who had joined with the rioters. Selika and Celes ran to their dying mothers as the rioters tore through the home. Finally having had their fill, most returned to the streets to continue their rampage. Four, however, dragged the two screaming girls from the house and out into the night.

The dockworkers, seeking to improve their financial prospects, sold both girls to local representatives of the [[starwars:Black Sun|Black Sun]]. This would be the start of years of slavery and abuse for Selika and her former handmaiden. Initially, they were used as a laborer in the various criminal enterprises the Black Sun was involved in on Empress Teta. Four years of had taken their toll on the girls, and eventually one night Celes attempted to fight back against their captors. In the ensuing struggle, the guard snapped the former handmaidens neck. Selika, in the next cage over, saw that she would be the angry guard’s next target. Unlocking her cage, he grabbed her and threw her to the floor. As he continued, Selika looked into the dead eyes of her childhood friend. Tears welling up in her eyes and her emotions roiling, she manifested her first expression of latent [[starwars:The Force|Force]] ability. Telling the guard that the world would be so better without him, the man drew his own weapon and shot himself in the head. Her untrained, reflexive [[starwars:mind trick|mind trick]] had been enough to twist the mind of the drunken guard. Staring at him momentarily, she fled from the warehouse that had served as her jail and into the night beyond.

=== Familial exploitation (14 ABY - 21 ABY) ===
[[file:Tolcon_Roh_by_igloinor.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Tolcon Roh, Selika’s uncle.]]
The Empress Teta that Selika found herself lost in was considerably different from the one she had left four years earlier. The populist uprising had given way to an authoritarian government backed by the corporate powers. The [[starwars:New Republic|Republic]], more interested in the continued carbonite trade, had done little to stabilize the planet. As a result, a reality similar to what had existed before had developed. Now, the influential corporate players had replaced the nobility as the sector of society in control. The only hope Selika felt that she had was with her uncle, Tolcon Roh. He had been off world during the Crimson Night, and had always focused more on the family's business interests than his brothers. As a result, he had maintained his position within society when the revolution had come.

Tolcon sent an [[starwars:Airspeeder|airspeeder]] to collect his niece and bring her to his estate. Selika took little notice of the palatial home, still traumatized by her ordeal and confused by what had happened to allow her secure her freedom. Months of recovery and counseling followed as Selika tried to restore her shattered psyche. At first, she would not talk about what had happened the night of her escape. She hardly believed it herself, and had almost convinced herself that it had happened differently. Finally, she told her uncle what had happened that night. Tolcon was initially skeptical, but was well aware of the history of [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force sensitivity]] in the royal bloodline of Empress Teta. After finally accepting what his niece was telling him, Tolcon sought to help her develop her ability. A shrewd businessman, Tolcon knew how valuable skill with Force suggestion could be.

[[file:Selika_young_by_adagadegelo.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika in 17 ABY.]]
By the time she was 18, Selika was assisting her uncle in his business ventures. Her position offered Selika her first trip off-world, and she saw places like [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] for the first time. Soon, however, it became clear that she was as much a prisoner in her uncle’s care as she had been with the Black Sun. As her Force talents grew with more use, she began to access other abilities. As she shaped her skill to read others into true [[starwars:Telepathy|telepathy]], she eventually turned that ability on her uncle. Tolcon, in truth, saw his niece as nothing more than a tool to further his ambitions. To him, Selika had been broken by her ordeal, and, no matter how much she was able to hide it, she was totally dependent on his good graces.

Infuriated with how her supposed savior was infantilizing her, Selika realized she would have to escape her gilded cage as she had the Black Sun years before. Contrary to her uncle’s perception of her, Selika knew very well how to take care of herself, and what she would need to do so. Over the course of several weeks, she used her skills to manipulate members of Tolcon’s staff into setting up secret accounts and filling them with the credits she would need. When everything was in place, Selika wanted to confront her uncle with her intent to leave. She felt a visceral need to stand up to him instead of, as she saw it, running away in the night as she had from her criminal captors. Tolcon, however, showed his true colors when confronted by his niece. Still seeing her as the weak, broken girl she had been, Tolcon screamed at her, throwing Selika to the floor of the family study. Anger burning within her, Selika reached out with the Force and [[starwars:Telekinesis|lifted]] him from his feet by the neck. As Tolcon’s eyes widened in alarm as the true depth of his miscalculation became apparent, Selika jerked his head and snapped his neck. Dropping his dead body to the ground, Selika left her uncle’s home for good.

=== Pilgrimage into the Shadows (21 ABY - 25 ABY) ===
[[file:Selika_mid_by_jnetrocks.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika in 21 ABY.]]Selika Roh departed Empress Teta in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|21 ABY]] with little more than stolen credits, a false identity, and a power she barely understood. The galaxy she entered was one still attempting to settle after the fall of the Empire. The New Republic governed much of the [[starwars:Core Worlds|Core]] and Inner Rim, while vast stretches of the [[starwars:Mid Rim|Mid Rim]] and [[starwars:Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim]] remained contested by crime syndicates, warlords, and scattered remnants of Imperial authority. For Selika, the disorder of the era offered both opportunity and anonymity.

Her first years away from her homeworld were marked by cautious exploration. Traveling through the Mid Rim and the fringes of the [[starwars:Expansion Region|Expansion Region]], she survived by selling information, manipulating negotiations, and quietly inserting herself into criminal and corporate disputes where a subtle application of the Force could turn the outcome. Selika rarely remained in one system for long. Her past had taught her the dangers of attachment, and she cultivated the habits of a wanderer. During this time she began experimenting with her abilities beyond the simple manipulations her uncle had taught her. Through instinct and trial she learned to sharpen her awareness of others’ thoughts, gradually extending her abilities into deeper telepathic perception and more forceful acts of suggestion.

Selika’s travels increasingly brought her into contact with places touched by the lingering echoes of the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]]. On [[starwars:Moraband|Moraband]] she encountered the ruins of ancient temples abandoned long before the rise of the Empire. On [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]] she observed dark side cultists scavenging relics of the old Sith Empire that had once ruled the planet. Though she possessed little formal knowledge of Sith doctrine, Selika felt drawn to these remnants of the past. The anger and survival instinct that had defined her life resonated strongly with the dark side energies that lingered in such places. While she never fully committed herself to any cult or teacher during these years, she absorbed fragments of knowledge wherever she could find them, gradually shaping a personal philosophy that embraced strength, control, and emotional intensity as tools rather than weaknesses.

By the mid-twenties ABY Selika had become more confident in the use of the Force, but also increasingly aware of how little she truly understood. Rumors circulating in the underworld spoke of hidden orders of Force users scattered throughout the galaxy, remnants of traditions long thought destroyed. One such rumor eventually led her to a shadow network of dark side adepts operating quietly along the Outer Rim trade routes. Unlike the small cults Selika had previously encountered, this group appeared organized and disciplined, operating with a clear long-term purpose. They referred to themselves simply as the '''One Sith'''.

=== Joining the One Sith (25 ABY - 30 ABY) ===
[[file:selika_headshot_by_jnetrocks.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika in 26 ABY.]]

By 25 ABY Selika had grown confident in her command of the Force, though she remained aware that much of its deeper potential still eluded her. Through contacts in the criminal underworld she eventually encountered a hidden network of dark side adepts operating quietly along the Outer Rim trade routes. Unlike the scattered cults and relic hunters she had previously encountered, this group was organized and disciplined, pursuing a long-term vision for the resurgence of the dark side. They referred to themselves simply as the '''One Sith'''.

Though wary of authority after years of betrayal, Selika recognized the opportunity the Order offered. The One Sith provided guidance, knowledge, and a purpose beyond mere survival. In return she pledged herself to their designs, joining a covert network of agents working to expand the Order’s influence throughout the Mid Rim and Outer Rim.

Selika quickly proved effective in missions requiring manipulation and subtle influence. Drawing on her noble upbringing and growing mastery of the Force, she cultivated contacts among criminal syndicates, corporate interests, and scattered Force-sensitive communities while quietly advancing the Order’s broader objectives.

Among the groups closely studied by the One Sith was the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. When the [[Horizons|Horizons Crisis]] erupted in [[30 ABY]], the Brotherhood was struck by the Horizon plague even as Zoraan launched a coordinated assault against its Clans, Houses, and Antei itself. Selika worked from the shadows during the chaos, helping the One Sith exploit the confusion and observe how far the Brotherhood could be pushed toward collapse.

Although the Brotherhood ultimately survived—curing the plague and defeating Zoraan on Antei—the conflict left it weakened and uncertain of its future. For Selika and the hidden masters of the One Sith, the crisis proved that even powerful orders of Force users could be made vulnerable.

=== The Dark Crusade (30 ABY - 32 ABY) ===
====Disillusionment====
[[file:selika_by_jnetrocks.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Selika in 30 ABY.]]

When the [[Dark Crusade]] began in 30 ABY, Selika was assigned by the One Sith to oppose the advancing forces of the Dark Brotherhood. Operating as part of the Order’s intelligence and covert operations network, she was repeatedly dispatched to worlds that had become focal points of the conflict between the Brotherhood and the One Sith. Over the course of the war she found herself shadowing the movements of [[Clan Plagueis]], encountering their forces across multiple battlefronts including Nfolgai, Khar Delba, Ch'Hodos, Athis, Kalsunor, and Ziost.

At first Selika believed the campaign would prove the strength of the One Sith. The Order had long spoken of the Brotherhood as a fractured and declining power whose influence could be shattered with careful planning and decisive force. Yet as the conflict expanded across system after system, the reality she witnessed was far different from what she had been promised.

The Brotherhood’s armies did not collapse as anticipated. Instead, they fought with stubborn determination, adapting quickly to the shifting fronts of the war. Several of the Order’s operations faltered or collapsed entirely as Brotherhood forces pushed back against their enemies. For Selika, who had spent years serving the hidden designs of the One Sith, these setbacks forced an uncomfortable realization. The Order that claimed mastery over the galaxy’s future was proving capable of the same arrogance and miscalculation that had doomed so many Sith movements before it.

As the war dragged on, Selika began to question not only the competence of the Order’s leadership but also the philosophy that guided it. The One Sith spoke endlessly of unity and long-term design, yet their methods increasingly resembled the brutal expediency of any other dark side faction. Entire worlds were treated as expendable pieces in a wider strategy, and those who failed were quietly discarded.

By the time the campaign shifted toward Ziost, Selika’s faith in the Order had eroded. What she had once believed to be a rising power destined to reshape the galaxy now appeared to her as another order blinded by its own ambitions.

====Defection====
[[file:crusadeheroes.jpg|thumb|150px|The heroes of the Dark Crusade.]]
[[file:Selika_Aabsdu_by_megaween.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Learning blinding from Aabsdu Dupar.]]

As preparations for the final campaign on Ziost began in 32 ABY, Selika made a decision that would sever her ties to the One Sith forever. Having observed the Brotherhood throughout the conflict—particularly the warriors of Clan Plagueis—she had come to respect their resilience and discipline in a way she had never felt toward her own Order.

Rather than continue serving a cause she no longer believed in, Selika abandoned the One Sith and deliberately sought out the forces of Clan Plagueis shortly before their landing on Ziost. Her arrival was treated with immediate suspicion. A former enemy who appeared willingly in the midst of an ongoing war was an obvious security risk, and she was detained while the leadership of the Clan determined whether her defection was genuine or an elaborate deception.

Selika offered something few defectors could provide: knowledge. Years spent operating within the One Sith’s covert network had given her insight into the Order’s methods, command structure, and operational weaknesses. The intelligence she carried—along with the circumstances of her departure from the Order—ultimately convinced the leadership of Plagueis that her defection was real.

Though her loyalty remained under scrutiny, Selika was permitted to assist the Clan as the campaign for Ziost began. The information she provided proved valuable in countering several One Sith tactics during the final stages of the war, marking the beginning of her long and complicated association with the Brotherhood.

====Fading Light====
[[file:Selika2_by_talitapersi.jpg|thumb|150px|A lull in the fighting on Begeren.]]

Although Selika’s intelligence had proven valuable during the closing stages of the Dark Crusade, her position within Clan Plagueis remained uncertain. Many members of the Clan still viewed her as a former enemy whose loyalty had yet to be proven.

During the conflict known as [[Fading Light]], Selika continued to serve alongside Plagueis forces in several operations, gradually demonstrating both her reliability and her willingness to fight for her new allies. Rather than attempt to immediately claim influence within the Clan, she instead adopted a cautious approach—taking assignments where needed and allowing her actions to speak for themselves.

Her skills in deception, infiltration, and battlefield manipulation proved especially useful during reconnaissance and covert missions. Working closely with Plagueian warriors who had initially distrusted her, Selika slowly began to establish a reputation as a capable and disciplined Sith rather than a recent defector.

Between campaigns she also participated in security operations aboard the [[Tonus Anchorage|The Anchorage]]. Sections of the station that had long remained sealed or unexplored were found to contain hostile [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] that had survived within the abandoned corridors. Selika joined the teams tasked with clearing these areas and locating missing personnel, helping eliminate the creatures and secure the Anchorage as the Clan prepared to relocate it to the Aliso system.

By the time tensions within the Dark Brotherhood began escalating toward open civil war, Selika had earned a measure of reluctant respect within Plagueis. When the conflict that would become the Eleventh Great Jedi War erupted, she would enter it not as a recent defector, but as a member of the Clan fighting alongside its warriors.

====Korriban====
[[file:Selika_GMIT_by_karolding.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Fighting on Korriban in 32 ABY.]]

Selika later fought alongside Clan Plagueis during the Eleventh Great Jedi War on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], where the Clan aligned itself with the forces of Esoteric as the wider conflict escalated into a brutal civil war within the Dark Brotherhood. The campaign centered on Korriban and the Valley of the Dark Lords, where rival factions converged in pursuit of the rite that had drawn the Brotherhood’s leaders to the planet.

Within Plagueis, however, the campaign was complicated by internal division. Selika sided with [[Kz'set]] against [[Vivackus Kavon di Plagia|Vivackus]], judging the Clan’s alliance with Esoteric to be reckless and ultimately self-destructive. When Kz’set was sent on what appeared to be a suicidal assignment, Selika chose to accompany him. Their shuttle was attacked by the ''Transcendent'' before reaching the surface, but both survived the crash and regrouped with Plagueian forces still loyal to the Wrath.

As the battle on Korriban intensified, Selika fought beside Kz’set and his allies while the internal struggle within Plagueis erupted openly on the planet’s surface. During these operations she helped seize transport from enemy scouts, moved with Kz’set toward the Tomb of Ajunta Pall, and took part in the confrontation between the rival Plagueian factions outside the tomb. There, the feud between Vivackus and Kz’set culminated in open combat, ending with Vivackus’ defeat.

That victory proved short-lived. Esoteric had manipulated the conflict from the outset, using the division within Plagueis to weaken the Clan while pursuing his own goals on Korriban. When he finally revealed his hand, Selika and the surviving Plagueians found themselves subjected to overwhelming fire from above, leaving many dead or wounded in the Valley of the Dark Lords.

Selika survived the bombardment but was seriously injured during the attack. She was recovered by surviving Plagueian forces and withdrawn from the battlefield alongside the other remnants of the Clan as they attempted to regroup after the devastating defeat.

For Selika, the campaign on Korriban reinforced lessons she had already begun to learn during the Dark Crusade: hidden powers rarely valued loyalty, and survival often depended less on ideology than on recognizing betrayal before it was too late.

=== Ascendancy in Plagueis (33 ABY - 34 ABY) ===
==== Restoration ====
In the aftermath of the disaster on Korriban, Selika was among the Plagueian leaders left to rebuild what remained of the clan. With much of the Ascendant Fleet lost, the Anchorage under enemy control, and the clan’s command structure shaken, she became increasingly involved in the work of restoring Plagueis’ strength. During the campaign to reclaim the fleet and retake the Anchorage, Selika helped coordinate the clan’s recovery and emerged from the crisis with greatly increased standing among its leadership.

That growing influence was recognized early in 33 ABY when Selika was appointed [[Quaestor]] of [[House Ajunta Pall]]. The position gave her direct authority within one of the clan’s Houses and allowed her to begin building a more durable power base of her own inside Plagueis.

==== Forged Alliances ====
[[file:Selika_by_xalendra.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Tribune of the Holocrons.]]As the clan re-established itself aboard the Anchorage, Selika was drawn into the mounting crisis surrounding the station’s lower depths. Strange manifestations and unexplained disturbances forced the Plagueian summit to seek outside aid, and Selika accompanied the clan’s leadership in their secret negotiations with [[Clan Tarentum]]. Though relations between the two clans were marked by distrust, she helped secure the alliance that made a joint expedition possible.

Around the same time Selika’s influence extended beyond the clan itself. She was appointed [[Wiki Tribune|Tribune of the Holocrons]], granting her access to the [[Holocron Center of the Brotherhood]]. Selika used the position to deepen her knowledge of Sith lore and Brotherhood history, but also to strengthen her influence more quietly, leveraging privileged access to knowledge as another weapon in the political contests of both Plagueis and the wider order. Her growing stature was further acknowledged when she was named among the [[di Plagia]].

==== Haunted by the Dead ====
With Tarenti assistance secured, Selika played a role in the operations that pushed deeper into the Anchorage in search of the force haunting its lower levels. As Plagueian and Tarenti teams descended into the station, it became clear that they were dealing with something far worse than a simple haunting: an ancient dark side entity capable of assuming familiar forms and feeding on the living.

Selika helped direct the effort to contain the threat while the allied forces searched for a means to destroy it. That effort ultimately led to the use of a bloodstone to imprison the being and bring the crisis to an end. The success of the operation further strengthened Selika’s standing within the clan, and by late 33 ABY she had been elevated to [[Proconsul]] of Clan Plagueis.

==== Between Light and Dark ====
[[file:Selika_by_avionetca.jpg|left|thumb|150px|In battle on Florrum in 34 ABY.]]As Plagueis turned outward once more, Selika became increasingly active in the clan’s campaigns. During the assault on Athiss she arrived in time to capture the Arkanian Thrax Kolzaar after he had succeeded in warning [[Clan Odan-Urr]] of Plagueis’ attack. Though she had failed to prevent the transmission, Selika aggressively extracted its contents and confirmed that the enemy was already preparing its next defensive stand.

That intelligence fed into the campaign that followed on [[starwars:Florrum|Florrum]], where Selika took part in the clan’s pursuit of the Jedi and other undesirables. The fighting there further established her as one of the more formidable members of the Plagueian summit, trusted not only for intrigue and manipulation but for leadership during open conflict.

==== Journey to Aliso ====
[[file:Selika_pcon.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika as Proconsul to Teylas Ramar.]]When the remnants of Plagueis’ enemies fled into the Unknown Regions, Selika joined the hunt that ultimately led the clan to Aliso. There, as the Plagueian leadership discovered a massive hidden facility carved into a mountainside, Selika and Teylas Ramar divided their forces. While the Dread Lord led the frontal assault, Selika commanded the attack on the facility’s adjacent spaceport, ensuring that escape would be impossible.

With resistance crushed, Selika joined in the exploration of the structure and in the decision to make Aliso the clan’s new home. The discovery of the former Separatist prison complex gave Plagueis a defensible command center far from the reach of the Iron Throne, and Selika’s role in securing it further increased her value to the clan’s ruling circle.

==== Swift, Sweet Revenge ====
After Plagueis had begun to settle into its new stronghold, the clan suffered another sharp blow when the Ascendant Fleet was ambushed and heavily damaged by the Order of Vader. In the aftermath Selika helped keep the clan’s fury focused outward rather than inward, standing beside Teylas as Plagueis rallied what strength it had left and prepared its retaliation.

She took part in the invasion of Capis that followed, where Plagueian forces carried the war to the Order of Vader’s homeworld. Fighting alongside the clan’s leadership, Selika helped see the campaign through to victory. The destruction of the Order of Vader did not answer every question surrounding the betrayal that had enabled the attack, but it reinforced Selika’s position as one of the principal architects of Plagueis’ resurgence.

=== Dread Lord of Plagueis (35 ABY) ===
====Dark Ascension====
[[file:Selika_con.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Selika Roh, Dread Lord.]]Following years of maneuvering within the leadership of Clan Plagueis, Selika ultimately achieved the position she had long sought. With the departure of Teylas Ramar from the throne, she assumed the mantle of Consul and Dread Lord of the Clan, consolidating power within the summit and securing the loyalty of key figures within Plagueis’ military and political structure.

Selika’s ascension was not merely the result of circumstance. Years of careful planning and political calculation had positioned her to claim the throne when the opportunity arose, bringing the Ascendant Clan fully under her command.

====The Enemy Below====
Selika’s leadership was tested almost immediately after her ascension when an unexpected threat emerged beneath the clan’s new stronghold on Aliso. Strange activity beneath the Pinnacle eventually revealed the presence of a massive surviving [[starwars:Geonosian|Geonosian]] hive hidden within the planet’s subterranean caverns.

As the scale of the threat became clear, Selika ordered the full mobilization of Plagueis’ military forces, deploying the Ascendant Legion and every available defender to prevent the hive from overwhelming Aliso City. The battle quickly spread through the tunnels beneath the city as thousands of Geonosians surged upward toward the surface.

Recognizing that the hive could not easily be eradicated without catastrophic damage to the clan’s infrastructure, Selika instead descended into the tunnels with a strike force and confronted the Geonosian queen directly. There she forced the queen into submission, compelling the hive to acknowledge her authority. Accepting the ancient Geonosian title of Karina, Selika transformed the defeated hive into a subject population of Plagueis rather than destroying it outright.

Under her command the Geonosians were relocated to the southern continent of Aliso, where their labor and industrial expertise would be integrated into the clan’s expanding military infrastructure.

====War Approaches====
[[file:Selika_w_abadeer.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika with her Proconsul Abadeer Taasii.]]The battle beneath Aliso convinced Selika that Plagueis had been dangerously unprepared for a major conflict. Determined to correct this weakness, she began reorganizing the clan’s forces in the months that followed.

Working alongside her Proconsul [[Abadeer Taasii]] and [[Rollmaster]] [[Arden Karn|Arden Karn di Plagia]], Selika ordered a series of large-scale military exercises intended to improve coordination between the Ascendant Fleet and the clan’s ground forces. These war games emphasized rapid deployment, fleet readiness, and battlefield coordination across multiple theaters.

The training revealed several weaknesses within the clan’s command structure and logistics network, but by the time the exercises concluded Plagueis was far better prepared for the conflict that Selika increasingly believed was inevitable.

====The Twelfth Great Jedi War====

[[file:Selika_w_ronovi.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Selika sparring with Ronovi Tavisaen.]]

Selika’s preparations proved prescient when a new threat emerged within Brotherhood space. A former member of the order, [[The_Collective#Organization|Rath Oligard]], returned at the head of a powerful anti-Force coalition known as the Collective. Their campaign sought nothing less than the eradication of Force users across the galaxy, beginning with the Dark Brotherhood itself.

Despite Plagueis’ hostility toward the rule of [[Pravus]] and the [[Dark Council]], Selika recognized that the clan could not survive the conflict alone. When the Collective launched its campaign, she committed Plagueis to the wider war effort while maintaining the clan’s independence within the uneasy alliance.

During the early stages of the conflict Selika personally led a strike expedition to [[Nancora]] aboard the Pelta-class frigate ''Abrogator''. Accompanied by several of Plagueis’ senior members—including Teylas Ramar, Ronovi Tavisaen, Arden Karn, and Laren Uscot—she sought to intercept artifacts attributed to Darth Plagueis before they could be secured by the Collective.

The mission quickly turned dangerous when the ''Abrogator'' emerged from hyperspace directly into an ambush by Collective forces. Enemy fighters and capital ships surrounded the Plagueian vessel, forcing Selika and her allies to fight their way free long enough to continue their operation. Despite the unexpected resistance, Selika pressed the mission forward, coordinating both the ship’s escape and the subsequent ground assault.

On the surface of Nancora, Selika led the strike team in locating the supposed artifact cache, only for the mission to confirm Ronovi Tavisaen’s suspicions that the operation had been a trap. After fighting through Collective resistance and discovering that the sought-after relics were not present, Selika ordered the team’s withdrawal before reinforcements could close in. The Plagueians escaped the planet under Brotherhood cover and returned to Aliso, where the failed expedition left Selika to reckon with both the cost of the mission and the limits of the intelligence on which it had been based.

== Appearance ==
=== Physical description ===
[[file:Selika_by_kaelacroftart.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika Roh.]]
Selika is a striking woman that stands just over average human height for a female. Selika's eyes are a deep violet color and are framed by her unruly, layered hair that falls just below chin length. Her hair is naturally dark black, save for a single lock of violet-dyed hair on the left side of her face.

Blessed with a lithe build, her movements are fluid and graceful. She carries herself with an almost regal bearing that many find off putting, but it is only an affectation designed to do just that. Her skin is an unblemished dark olive shade free of any scars or distinguishing marks.

=== Attire ===
[[file:Selika_sheet_by_mathiaarkoniel.jpg|thumb|150px|Various examples of Selika Roh’s attire.]]
Most often Selika can be found wearing a set of deep purple robes made of Ottegan silk. These robes are designed to show off her figure, which is a deliberate choice much like her manner. The robes consist of a stiff collared vest open from neck to navel. Unlike the tabard of a traditional Sith robe, this vest does not extend below the waist. Underneath the vest is a bodysuit of darker fabric that, like the vest, is open at the chest. Over both bodysuit and vest a skirt is gathered at the waist. The skirt is open at the front and extends to the ankle. The font of the skirt is made up of a separate panel of lighter paneled fabric of slightly shorter length. The robes are complemented by long, fingerless gloves that extend above the elbow and thigh high boots. This outfit is her usual choice for both everyday use and combat.

When a more formal look is called for, can be found wearing a strapless, ebon dresses made of expensive materials coupled with long gloves and knee high boots. When discretion is called for, Selika will wear more standard robes. A violet tabard and black hooded cloak are coupled with a dark, baggy shirt and breeches. Though infrequently enough to almost never happen, she can still be found from time to time wearing her older combat attire. Colored in shades of grey, it features an asymmetrical jacket that hangs from her left shoulder and extends down below the knee over a set of boy shorts and belt. The ensemble is complemented by thigh high boots and a pair of long gloves.

== Personality and traits ==
=== Personality ===
[[file:selika_by_lithana.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika Roh creating an illusory serpent.]]
Selika Roh is self-serving individual who, at her heart, is only out for herself. Power, glory, wealth, position, and anything that will make her life more comfortable is her goal. It matters little who might be caught in the middle, as long as the result is the further accumulation of power in Selika’s hands. She will lie, cheat, and kill anyone to attain her personal goals.

She has no particular objection to working with others or, for that matter, going it on her own. Her only interest is in getting ahead. Although she does not have the every-man-for-himself attitude of many other Sith, she has no qualms about betraying her friends and companions for personal gain. She is perfectly alright with betraying a family member, comrade, or friend if it is convenient to do so and it advances her agenda. she is personally indifferent to the concepts of self-discipline and honor, finding them useful only if they can be used to advance her own interests or gain power over others. The closest to loyalty she typically approaches is basing her allegiance on strength and ability alone and how much she may gain from allying with them.

She has little respect for the rule of law, and has no qualms about using laws to weaken those who stand in the way of her success. Additionally, if she must resort to breaking the law, she will. She has no real preference for either method beyond their possible efficacy in reaching her goals. She sees laws as tools to use against people, as well as their own sense of honor. Having no internal concept of personal honor, she never feels compelled to keep her word. Additionally, she will attack and kill an unarmed foe and has no issues with harming or killing an innocent. She takes no specific pleasure from killing, seeing it as one of many tools to use in the pursuit of her goals as opposed to a goal in and of itself. Selika will, however, often take pleasure in inflicting pain, either physical or mental, upon opponents.

=== Philosophies and beliefs ===
==== General ====
[[file:Selika_Aleema_by_Xelandra.jpg|thumb|175px|Selika's philosophy mirrors that of Aleema Keto.]]
Selika feels that the universe is governed by certain natural and manmade forces. If allowed to take their course, they will weed out the weak and useless in society. As such, the deserving should take advantage of this condition to further their own goals by any means possible, especially to destroy weaklings who put forward "good" actions to promote the wellbeing of all, which is just an excuse used to deny the deserving their due. In Selika’s eyes life is of no special value, for those who cannot take advantage of their superiority don't deserve it as they will only interfere with the rightful pursuits of those who do. This is especially true when it comes to the non-Force using populations of the galaxy. In her eyes, the multitudes have crushed those who touch the Force under their weight, preventing the Force users from taking their rightful place atop the galactic order.

====Governments====
Selika has very little respect for any of the current claimants to the mantle of pan-galactic governance. Her view of the Galactic Empire, and it’s successor state the First Order, is almost entirely shaped by her personal experiences following its collapse. While the Empire under Palpatine maintained order and backed the monarchy of Empress Teta, it had collapsed far too easily in the face of the threat posed by the Rebellion. The retreat of the military from the Core into the Unknown Regions just hastened the chaos that followed on Empress Teta which lead to Selika’s hellish years of captivity at the hands of extremists who toppled the government. In her eyes, the First Order is but the vestiges of a once proud system now governed by the heirs of cowards who fled when the fight started to get tough.

Selika holds the Republic, however, in almost equal disdain. The treaty ending their war with the Empire had left the remnants of Imperial space to the carrion feeders of the galaxy. The decade after their final victory over Jakku had not lead to the liberation of most of the Old Empire, but instead had seen the decay and despotism that spread there. More interested in maintaining continued trade than in the reality of the situation on Empress Teta, the Republic had done nothing when the extremists took over. They were content to allow the corporations to exert influence of the world that had allowed the festering underworld that had destroyed her childhood to progress unchecked. In the end Selika sees both the First Order and Republic as equally responsible for the hardships she endured, and sees both as corrupt entities run by weaklings who been undeservedly handed power by the masses.

====The Force====
[[file:Selika1_by_talitapersi.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika focuses on the mind affecting elements of the Force.]]
Selika’s views on the Force have been shaped by her exploration of the teachings of the Krath cult that dominated her homeworld millennia ago. She has sought out the teachings of the founders of the Krath, specifically those of Aleema Keto, as she has delved deeper into the Force over the course of her life. As a result, many of the long-dead Krath witch’s feelings on the Force have shaped Selika’s own. Restraint in the application of the Force is foreign to Selika as she tends towards flagrant or showy displays of power.

Unlike the Krath that held sway in the Brotherhood in recent times, Selika sees the Force as not something to be studied for the purposes of arcane knowledge. Instead the pursuit of arcane knowledge is simply one road to the true goal of the ancient Krath: domination. She eschews the more metaphysical schools of thought on the nature of the Force, seeing things like the interpretation the Force being a conscious entity shaping the galaxy as the worst sort of religious sentimentality. Much as galactic society would look down on primitive cultures that assigned religious motivations to natural forces such as electricity or gravity, so too does Selika look down on those that see the same in the Force. To her, the Force is just one more natural source of energy that makes up the physical universe. Those that can touch it and shape it to their will are simply making use of an evolutionary advantage that assigns them to a place of superiority over others.

====Non-Force users====
[[file:selika_by_olenaminko.jpg|thumb|150px|Force choking a non-Force user.]]
Selika views non-Force users, or as she calls them mundanes, as inherently inferior to those that can touch the Force. In her eyes, a Force user is a rare commodity. Whatever accident of genetics that brings about Force sensitivity can take generations to manifest itself in a mundane bloodline, all the while the mundanes breed like gizka. Even without the power that they wield, the Force user would be more valuable simply based on simple statistics. With their power, the Force user is exponentially more valuable than their non-Force using counterparts in her eyes.

This basic, underlying belief has lead to Selika viewing the lives of mundanes as less important or valuable than those of Force users. Expending massive numbers of the former to reach the goals held by the latter is a perfectly acceptable. What others would describe as senseless slaughter is something that Selika would see as being acceptable if for no other reason than one mundane is essentially interchangeable with the next. Her callous attitude towards them means that she has no compunctions about employing the murder of mundanes to further her own desires. It does not mean, however, that she takes direct pleasure in said killing. The pleasure she derives from any death directly flows from how that action advances her along the road to her destination, not from the murder itself.

== Powers and abilities ==
[[file:Selika_by_haonguyenly.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika employing force lightning and illusion.]]
Unlike many Sith, Selika focuses on a few aspects of the Force at the expense of more across the board skill. Favoring illusions and mental abilities over others, she has never fully developed much of the more physical Force skills. In some areas, like the healing arts, she shows no proficiency at all. Limiting her focus, however, has allowed her great ability but still greater knowledge in how to apply her skills than many others of similar power and skill.

=== Force powers ===
Selika’s most devastating ability lies in her knowledge and skill in powers such as illusion or mind trick. She has focused on these skills mostly because she feels that attacking the mind is the most direct path to the defeat of her enemies. In her eyes, those that spend much of their time training their physical abilities and Force powers to complement then (such as amplification) more often than not neglect powers of the mind. Their weakness can then be exploited when they oppose her, with her ability to destroy them from within can make their physical prowess irrelevant.

For times when she is confronted by those who have not neglected the mental battlefied, Selika has applied herself to the study of powers that allow her to engage her foes while still keeping herself seperated from them as she does with mental assaults. Initially, she devoted herself almost entirely to telekinesis in more physical combat situations. More recently, however, she has learned to harness the Force in such a way to employ Force lightning. She has demonstrated remarkable skill in the ability in a far shorter time than most of her others, a fact that she feels is due to the nature of Force lightning. Unlike other skills, there is a mental state that one must reach to project Force lightning. Selika’s great experience with mental manipulation has allowed her to better achieve this mental state and harness Force lightning at a level that is not often seen by one as inexperienced in its usage as she is.

=== Lightsaber abilities ===
[[file:Selika appearance.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika during the GMIT.]]
When Selika first learned to use the Force, she had no access to a lightsaber. Her reality lead to her mastering of the Force independent of the traditional weapon of the Sith and Jedi, and her feelings towards the blade were shaped accordingly. As she progressed and gained more experience with other Sith with the followers of Zoraan, she begrudgingly began to use a lightsaber. For many years she still saw the lightsaber as a secondary weapon, something whose use signaled a failure on her part to destroy her enemies with the Force alone. After her arrival in the Brotherhood, however, her view began to shift somewhat. Still viewing the saber with some amount of internal disdain, she has come to see it as another useful tool in her arsenal. Even now, though, she still favors the Force alone over her weapon when she can.

With her saber, Selika rarely goes for the quick kill to open combat. Her tendency is to maintain her Soresu-based defense to, ostensibly, wear down her prey. In reality, she is motivated as much by her desire to inflict pain and torture before finishing off her opponent. She will favor attacks whose goal is to be as painful as possible for mind or body before eventual death, using the taunts favored by Dun Moch to dominate her opponent. When her final strike does come, however, it will often be in the form of a swift and lethal application of Djem So.

===Other skills===
Many Sith and Jedi see the Force as a tool that can replace many of the more mundane abilities, becoming reliant on mind tricks instead of their innate ability to manipulate others for example. Selika instead feels that those abilities can make your talents with the Force even more useful. In keeping with her focus on those Force abilities that target the mind, Selika has developed her own mental prowess outside of the Force. She uses her sharp mind and perception to augment her Force ability. As a result, much like her Force abilities, she has not developed her physical skill to the same level that many of the more martially focused Sith have.

== Rivals ==
===Turel Sorenn===
{{quote|'''Monsters like you don’t deserve to live.'''|Turel Sorenn}}
[[file:Selika_vs_Turel_by_HalChroma.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika vs. Turel.]]
Selika and Turel Sorenn are, on the face of things, the most bitter of enemies. Originally crossing paths under the auspices of an intelligence gathering mission, Selika has always pursued a more personal goal when it comes to Turel: turning the Jedi to the Dark Side. She sees his personality type as ripe for corruption, with his time serving Arcona having left him uniquely vulnerable to her machinations. She feels that Turel would make a formidable Sith, and at the same time offer her invaluable information in regards to V'yr Vorsa, one of her most formidable rivals.

In their interactions, both on New Tython and during the Grand Master’s Invitational Tournament, Selika has gone to great lengths to break his spirit. She has engaged in the cold blooded murder of several citizens and law enforcement officers on New Tython as well as tricked Turel into killing an innocent as well, all in the name of destroying his devotion to the light. This campaign has spilled out into a larger conflict between their two respective clans as well, contributing to the conflict between them on Florrum in 34 ABY.
{{clear}}
===V’yr Vorsa===
{{quote|'''Selika Roh. You are under arrest for the murder of eight Council agents, two law enforcement officers, a father of two, and for assault and injury of a Council member of Clan Odan-Urr.'''|V’yr Vorsa, 33 ABY}}
[[file:Duel_on_New_Tython_by_g_matoshi.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika and Vorsa in combat on New Tython.]]
Selika maintains an adversarial relationship with the Neti councilor. This rivalry began with their overlapping fields of control of the Brotherhood (Selika as Tribune of the Holorons and Vorsa as Herald), but has grown beyond that. Selika felt that she had been appointed to the staff of the Herald as one of Vorsa’s magistrates specifically to keep an eye on the Jedi serving the Dark Council, a notion that has never been confirmed nor denied by others in the Brotherhood.

Beyond their more professional rivalry, the two have developed far more personal animosity from Selika’s interactions with Turel Sorenn. Turel, being one of Vorsa’s proteges, is something of an ongoing project for Vorsa, and Selika’s efforts to turn him fully to the dark side have not gone over well. Their first direct conflict came as a result of Selika’s assault on Turel in 33 ABY and lead to a large amount of collateral damage in Menat Ombo’s Visulu Marketplace. Their battle was ended before a satisfactory resolution due to Selika’s extraction by fellow di Plagia Aabsdu Dupar, so the tension between the two continues. Since then, Selika has attempted to work behind the scenes to sabotage Vorsa’s efforts, especially in operations to engineer the transit of undesirables out of Brotherhood space.

'''Ice Station Zerek''' is a small frontier mining spaceport established by [[Hyperdyne Systems Interstellar]] in 39 ABY. It covertly operates as a front to cover for the [[Azorian Citadel]] built directly below it.

==Structure==
The structure is essentially a small, pressurized mining port stationed on the icy surface of [[Cilix]]. Complete with a canteen, offices, housing, a small store selling general goods, an infirmary, and a recreation facility, the miners and employees live a spartan but comfortable existence. The spaceport includes all the necessary infrastructure needed to support the mining operations below as well as shipping the [[starwars:coaxium|coaxium]]. Zerek maintains access to the umbilical lines in segregated sections of the station with separate security protocols, serving to further hide the purpose of the Ventress headquarters residing in the underwater [[Azorian Citadel]].

Within the surface station’s domes, activity centers on the careful handling and transfer of coaxium arriving from the deep-mining facility below the ocean floor. The largest landing bay domes open into expansive hangars where transports dock under strict containment protocols. One of the smaller domes provides access to the subsurface ocean through a lift that can lower vessels down to an aquatic hangar. Within these hangars, shipments of volatile coaxium are loaded by precision cargo handlers aboard outbound freighters as inbound loads of specialized equipment and machine tools are offloaded into storage areas. Pressurized corridors link these bays to administrative hubs, crew quarters, and monitoring stations, each lined with frosted durasteel panels and lit by steady blue-white strips.

Crew accommodations are modest but efficient, gathered around shared mess halls, observation lounges and canteens where personnel can relax, grab a drink or watch the gas giant’s storms churn across the distant horizon. Dedicated labs inspect each coaxium shipment for purity and stability before dispatch, while a medical wing and emergency bunkers stand ready for mishaps. Power conduits beneath the reinforced decks hum softly with geothermal energy, a constant reminder of the molten tides deep below the ice that sustain this isolated waystation on the frozen plains.

==Defenses==
The station’s formidable defenses safeguard Zerek’s operations and discreetly protect the Azorian Citadel beneath the surface. The structure hosts a relatively wide range of defensive emplacements which include multiple DF.12 Com Turrets, Bp.5 Anti-Aircraft Turrets, XX-10 Turbolaser Towers, and a single LNR Series I Systemary Laser Battery. Though this heavy assortment of defensive power may seem excessive to some, it is easily excused by the high value of the coaxium being mined below.

The spaceport is defended by the [[item:55223|Cilix Planetary Garrison Battalion]] of the [[Ascendant Legion]] which is permanently assigned to defend the moon. While on training or active operations, the soldiers are housed in the station. One platoon of the line and scout companies rotate down to the Azorian Citadel below for month-long tours guarding the headquarters. The [[starwars: T-47_airspeeder|T-47 airspeeder]] unit assigned to the base routinely conducts patrols and training outside of the domed spaceport.

All Plagueian soldiers stationed at Zerek adopt the uniforms, insignia, and bearing of the [[starwars:Freelance_Mercenary_Corps|Freelance Mercenary Corps]], a corporate-aligned private military outfit known throughout the Outer Rim. By maintaining this facade, the Ascendant Legion ensures that the garrison blends seamlessly into the image of an ordinary hired defense force. To any outside observer—be it traders, inspectors, or rival interests—the spaceport thus continues to present itself as a self-contained, independent mining concern guarded only by its contracted corporate security, rather than a strategic holding quietly overseen and controlled by Plagueis.

'''Clan Plagueis''' is one of four Dark Jedi [[Clan]]s with the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. It has two subordinate [[House]]s in the form of [[Ajunta Pall|House Ajunta Pall]] and [[Karness Muur|House Karness Muur]], units newly formed upon Plagueis's return to Clan status in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|31 ABY]]. Plagueis existed as an independent House between [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|27 ABY]] and 31 ABY when, along with [[Taldryan]], it was elevated back to Clanhood.

''For more information on the Clan structure, see: [[Clan Plagueis]].''

== History ==
=== Unification ===
:''Main article: [[Dictum of Two Skies]]
''
In the year [[10 ABY to 19 ABY|17 ABY]], [[Clan Satal Keto|'''Clan''' Satal Keto]] was attacked by the vicious pirate group known as the [[Crimson Tide]]. The '''Clan''' was already weak from recent wars and conflicts, and they simply could not withstand an attack of the size and nature that the Tide brought. '''Clan''' Satal Keto fought and fought, however even with the Force on their side, the pirates were slowly starting to win after four days of fighting. Consul Selket, not wanting to accept his fate, called for assistance from [[Clan Exar Kun|'''Clan''' Exar Kun]], Satal Keto’s sister '''clan'''.

The Kunians, despite sub-standard relations with the Ketoans, came to aid the dying '''clan'''. After another three days of intense and valiant combat, the severely injured Crimson Tide was forced to retreat.

The battle brutally wounded both clans. The Clans of Exar Kun and Satal Keto were in shambles. They went to the [[Dark Council]] for help, and the [[Star Chamber]] visited and assessed the two clans in their entirety, and concluded that the two clans should be merged into one if they were to survive.

Thus, the [[Dictum of Two Skies]] was carried out. New members came to the field, and for a month Jedi fought Jedi in battle for supremacy, and when the dust finally fell, a new band stood together, united by victory and strength, their weaknesses purged and cleansed in a trial by fire. From the ashes of two Clans arose a new one: Plagueis, a new life born of death. Then the Dictum was released, and as their final act, the Elders of the Star Chamber worked a great feat of Force magic - grasping the skeins of reality itself, they wove together the twin fates of Exar Kun and Satal Keto, and merged their powers into one.

The shockwaves of the Star Chambers actions, however, continued to ripple out through the Force, and unknown to all, a forgotten Sith Lord stirred in the embrace of the Dark Side. On the distant tomb planet of Korriban, Darth Plagueis arose from death in the shape of a grim wraith of Shadow and Dust, and called out to those whom had taken on his name.

=== End of Acarr ===
:''Main article: [[Battle of Byfrost]]
''
The newly formed '''clan''' settled in the [[Acarr System]], the former home of [[Clan Exar Kun|'''Clan''' Exar Kun]]. As the Force would have it, however, after only a few months did trouble began to manifest itself. The [[Star Chamber]]’s amazing feat had twisted reality more than so perceived. Acarr’s sun, Sigil, which had already been dangerously unstable, was shifted out of balance and was rapidly approaching supernova status, increasing its radiation levels by the hour.

Doom was imminent, but the Plagueians had time to act due to the sharp sense of the clan's Elders who had discovered the problem. Moving as fast as mortally possible, the '''Clan''' organized and mobilized, beginning to flee the Acarr System. It was in this moment that the [[Crimson Tide]] returned, intent on destroying the band of Dark Jedi whom had nearly destroyed their entire fleet. [[Calliban Crimson]] launched a full attack on the evacuating '''Clan''' Plagueis. The '''Clan''' fought valiantly, and was able to hold back the pirate forces until the evacuation was complete. Then, in a final act of malign vengeance, [[Aristan Dantes|Sarin]], [[Kir Taldrya Katarn|Kir Katarn]], [[Jonaleth Isradia]], and the most powerful of the clan's members blockaded the system, trapping nearly all of the mercenaries inside, where they were killed by the intense radiation.

=== Jusadih ===
[[File:Kapsina.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Kapsina was Plagueis' HQ in the Jusadih System]]
With the Crimson Tide severely crippled, '''Clan''' Plagueis relocated into the [[Jusadih System]], designated by the '''Clan''' Summit. [[House Exar Kun]] settled on the planet [[Aerun]], with its counterpart, [[House Satal Keto|Satal Keto]], moving to the icy world of [[Morroth]]. Construction on the Clan’s headquarters, the [[Dark Tower]], began immediately on the world of [[Sigil 1|Kapsina]], where the '''clan''' leaders and [[Council of the Wise]] were to reside. As the Plagueian [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] established their dominance in Jusadih, they took a local business, [[Sistros Acquisitions and Holdings]] as a cover front and to provide a steady flow of credits to the fledgling '''clan'''. By early-[[20 ABY to 29 ABY|20 ABY]], the '''clan''' has finished construction on all aspects on their new home, and started to work on improving other aspects of the '''clan'''.

=== Civil War ===
:''Main article: [[Seventh Great Jedi War]]
''
The peace did not last for long, however, as only two years after the formation of '''Clan''' Plagueis the entire Brotherhood erupted into civil war. What started with minor disputes among the clans quickly escalated into something much more. When a second [[Jac Cotelin]] appeared on Antei, things turned to war, and the clans split apart as each sided with the Jac that they considered to be the real one. Plagueis, specifically, joined the side of what was called the ''Red Jac''.

For weeks the clans fought each other to see who would come out on top, and specifically which Jac would come out above the other. However, '''Clan''' Plagueis was still just over two years old, and was still working to rebuild from its previous two encounters with the [[Crimson Tide]]. As such, it was weakened further from fighting with the much older and stronger clans against it, and was forced to hang out as long as possible and save as much of the fleet as they could.

=== Assault on Diadem ===
:''Main article: [[Assault on Diadem]]
''
When the war finally started to die down and the true Jac claimed victory over the imposter, '''Clan''' Plagueis returned to the [[Jusadih System]] to lick its wounds. Yet, the war was not over for the Plagueians, for just as they returned a group of Aerunian rebels, known respectively as ARM (Aerunian Resistance Movement), attacked [[Diadem Fortress]] on [[Aerun]], home of [[House Exar Kun]].

Using a treacherous Novice to cut off the power to the defenses, the Aerunians blasted their way into the fortress and started destroying as much as possible. It is unknown exactly what they were trying to do, save for thinking they could actually kill all the Kunians with their small army. Once the traitor was killed and the power brought back online, though, the Aerunians' advantage collapsed.

Despite having several Rogue Dark Jedi on their side, the Kunians were able to fight off the ambush, but Diadem was greatly damaged, and would not be completely repaired for another six months, although with much better defenses.

=== Rite of Supremacy ===
:''Main article: [[Second Darkness]]

After the Sixth Great Jedi War, '''Clan''' Plagueis entered a brief, yet useful, time of peace, where little conflict-wise happened, and the still young '''clan''' was allowed to grow and improve its infrastructure. Despite problems in leadership, the '''clan''' improved greatly during this time, and has continued to grow to this day, although not without being interrupted by war.

Specifically, at the beginning of [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|20 ABY]], the Brotherhood had a Rite of Supremacy between the six clans to determine which would have the privelage of guarding the Dark Shroud, and being named First '''Clan'''. Much stronger now, Plagueis fought valiantly, and while they didn't win, they were awarded the title Third '''Clan'''.

=== Eighth Great Jedi War ===
:''Main article: [[Eighth Great Jedi War]] and Invasion of Jusadih''
After the Rite of Supremacy, Plagueis took pride as Grand Master [[Sarin]] called for an awards ceremony on [[Antei]]. Things would not go as planned. As soon as the ceremony concluded, a fleet of epic proportions dropped outside of the Antei system from hyperspace. The Dark Brotherhood had no option but to retreat into [[The Shroud]]. '''Clan''' Plagueis was assigned to the rearguard. While fighting from within the dark cloud looming over Antei, old tensions broke out between the clans, who were already on-edge.
[[File:MassiveFleet2.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Part of the enemy fleet in orbit of Antei.]]
Plagueis, whose fleet was crippled as a result of the week long conflict, tried its best to stay out of the civil battle within the much larger one. Meanwhile, as the Brotherhood fell to its knees at its home planet, the Jusadih system was also invaded by the powerful aliens. Warrior Dismal and Archpriest Scorpius oversaw the resistance effort on Aerun, and performed valiantly for as long as they could before Diadem Fortress, and virtually all of Aerun was destroyed by the might of the invaders. Dismal and Scorpius had almost escaped the carnage in a lone TIE Phantom, but ultimately ended up prisoner on board the alien mothership for three days.

Miraculously, the two Equites were rescued by a recovery team of Archpriest Anochiir Isradia, Knight Galaphile, and Knight [[Jaden Kyrath]], who had stayed in Jusadih for unknown reasons themselves. As the search party returned to Kapsina, '''Clan''' Plagueis tried to flee the bloodbath at Antei. Almost simultaneously, Grand Master Sarin returned from the Roche asteroid belt, accompanied by six brand-new Nebula-class Star Destroyers. Immediately, he executed the [[Braata Option]], which was a complete evacuation of Antei.

At the Jusadih system, the invasion force was forced to retreat by the Supreme Commander for taking too long. '''Clan''' Plagueis soon arrived, and after a much needed rest, started the monumental task of rebuilding their home.

=== Jusadih Civil War ===
:''Main article: [[War of Ascension]]
''
Aabsdu's loyalty to the [[Iron Throne]] was finally rewarded when he was given charge of the [[Shadow Academy]] as its [[Headmaster]] leaving a void in the Consular position of the '''Clan'''. This void was filled with a powerful presence in [[Braecen Kaeth]], the first [[Proconsul]] of Plagueis. He began a restructuring of the mechanics and make-up of the '''Clan''' almost immediately, appointing Alex d'Tana to the position of [[Quaestor]] of [[House Satal Keto]] and [[Yzarc Rellik Kaeth]] as his Proconsul.

His new view for Jusadih was that of the Military. He, alongside his new protege, [[Alaris Jinn]] and the rest of the '''Clan''', demolished the Feudal System in place and created the new Military Dictatorship in its place. The civilians of Jusadih were granted the ability to elect their officials with the Consul as the Head of State and the Proconsul as the Head of Government. The Feudal Lords despised this move and formed the Jusadih Independence Coalition and allied themselves with the [[Crimson Tide]].

The ensuing war strengthened the '''Clan''' and the military and it brought around the death of [[Calliban Crimson]] and the Crimson Tide.

=== Ninth Great Jedi War ===
:''Main article: [[Ninth Great Jedi War]]
''
After a strong and persuasive encounter with the Grand Master [[Aristan Dantes|Sarin]], [[Braecen Kaeth]] led the fleet of '''Clan''' Plagueis into the shroud, accompanied by the other clans. Both Braecen Kaeth and his Proconsul, [[Alaris Jinn]] showed depth of wisdom and integrity in the presence of powerful officers and influential Dark Jedi. The proposition of such a risky maneuver by the Brotherhood was seen by many as a suicide; however, Plagueis’ depth and proficiency enlightened the members of the Brotherhood as a collective to the larger picture. They entered the shroud to retake the [[Antei]] system from the invading aliens' control and regain the [[Iron Throne]].

Alaris Jinn’s new position as Lieutenant Supreme Commander accommodated him well as he traversed the majority of the shroud successfully, albeit in an atmosphere of defiance. This was the case until 36 hours prior to reaching the Antei system, The Victory II-Class Star Destroyer ''[[VSDII Ballista|Ballista]]'' was being fast approached by an alien frigate and fighter squadron. However, more worrying to the crew was the ease of the destruction of these fighters by the fleet’s VSD-II cannons. Although to no cost on the fleet’s behalf, this brief encounter only framed what was on the horizon for the Plagueians. Eludajae and Impetus M’Nar were ordered to precede the shroud and take their findings to the [[Grand Master]] and Admiral Malin. Taking control of the Silent Scream, they shot off from the fleet. After such an anti-climatic rendezvous with the fighters, suspicions within the '''Clan''' were high as to the necessity of this mission inasmuch as the already encountered aliens were essentially deceased.
[[File:Alaris-custom1.jpg|thumb|175px|left|Dark Jedi Alaris Jinn.]]

Upon the beachhead, the '''Clan''' gathered slowly, preparing for the imminent forthcoming battle. Denath’s interruption in the command centre had made Operation Spider grow and the attack order was launched. [[Callus Bo'Amar|Callus’]] [[starwars:AT-AT|AT-AT]] troop squadron mobilised, along with [[Sanguinius Tsucyra|Sanguinius’]] TIE fighter Red Sqaudron, and were tasked with providing support to the dropships and inhibiting the droid advance on the Dark Jedi positions. [[Kaira Rohana]], along with an injured [[Koga Kage]] also joined the frontline to suppress the droid presence; meanwhile, [[Vivackus Kavon]], [[Kal Vorrac]] and [[Mograine]] were tasked with eliminating the Jedi Communications array nearby. With a reinforced line, Callus’ remaining troop, accompanied now by [[Jaysun Adumarii]], were able to thin the ranks of the prevalent Droid battalion. A fierce battle raged in the Jedi Communication Array as Kal Vorrac, Vivackus Kavon and Mograine battled a Magnaguard and Aelema Noth, a Jedi Knight, both guarding the Jedi encampment.

The demise of the guards was short-lived as [[Tarentum|'''Clan''' Tarentum]] had seemingly become hostile toward '''Clan''' Plagueis. At this point, things began to look as if they were falling apart for Plagueis, as The Victory II-Class Star Destroyer ''[[VSDII Instigator|Instigator]]'' had been seriously hit, and the ground forces were being overwhelmed by the Tarantae and Droid battalions. [[Cethgus Kuga]] took it upon himself to move the damaged VSD-II ''Instigator'' closer to the atmosphere of the planet, enabling for quick retreat or extraction, much like Alaris had ordered. After the suppression of the Tarantae hostiles and the last of the Droids drifting north, the injured group Kaira Rohana, Koga Kage and Denath were joined, and aided, by Callus and Jaysun Adumarii, as the overwhelming droid army was mown down in a shower of sparks and molten metal. Jaysun and Callus had come to the rescue of Kaira, Koga and Denath, all three pockmarked with the wounds of battle. During the time the party of rescuers and injured, along with a handful of the 41st battalion were extracted, Vivackus Kavon, Kal Vorrac and Alaris Jinn were closing down on a strong beacon of force energy. This dense energy signal led them into vicious battle with the still-strong droid army, and knowing full well a Jedi threat lay within one of the control centres. In the intervening time, The ''Instigator’s'' position acted more to its detriment as the entire fleet was bombarded with a meteor shower. The already ailed ship took another substantial beating; the ensuing cost to the Plagueian fleet was a reduced force upon the ship and Cethgus’ fatal wounds.

Jaek, Mograine, Kal and Vivackus were threatened once more with the onslaught of droid waves closing their position, as they manoeuvred their way to the control bunker. The group, although covered by an AT-AT’s suppressive fire, were hit tremendously hard, Kal suffering substantial injuries in the battle. The AT-AT’s support finally paid dividends as the group led by the [[House Satal Keto]] Quaestor, Vivackus Kavon entered the control bunker, battle scarred and fatigued. In the Briefing Kal had asserted the significance of the control centre he currently occupied; Denath, rested, somewhat healed but still significantly drained, headed to aid the Quaestor’s group in the droid command centre, along with Eludajae, Impetus, [[Yzarc Rellik Kaeth|Yzarc]], Koga, Ralph, Jaysun and Jaek. As the battled waged heavily in the fortified control bunker, with Impetus and Eludajae fighting off hordes of droids from the doorway to the misfortune of the situation with Attack Group Two, Sanguinius – now a pilot Ace – patrolled the skies with his depleted Red Squadron and the newly emerged Gold Squadron containing Octavia Kuga, reinforcing Operation Gundark.

As situations deteriorated swiftly within the bunker, similar circumstances were emerging in the space above. The ''Instigator'' was heavily damaged and recording substantial losses; its protection was in the hands of ''[[ISDII The Baron|The Baron]]''. Koga Kage’s captivity in the Jedi was short-lived; however, the consequences were far more serious, his release sparked him to push his way back to the control base on the beachhead, attempting to exact revenge on past traumas. Upon killing two Journeymen, Koga’s rage was fully inflicted onto Kaira Rohana for his mental scars; however, the Proconsul, Alaris Jinn was hot on his heels. For Koga, the battle had changed from a war in which he was participating to one within himself; however, his destructive path was soon ended by a swift move delivered on behalf of the Proconsul. Back in the bunker, Kal incurred yet more injuries as his apprentice, wounded and exhausted, struck down the Jedi opponent. Operation Gundark, and more importantly, '''Clan''' Plagueis, had hit a dead end, physically and emotionally. The entire strike team of the Dark Jedi, worn and mutilated, Kal more than most, managed to defeat the droid and Jedi threat, with Mograine and Ralph, carrying Kal, reached extraction. The control bunkers destruction then ensued, with the remaining Dark Jedi boarding an evacuation vessel, watching the droid forces deactivate, and Vulture droids pirouetting lifelessly from the sky. The decision to resuscitate Kal Vorrac was a hard one to make for the Summit of the '''Clan'''; however, deep down, the choice had already been made.

Operation Bloodfin raged in the skies over the Temple Bellseph as Alaris overlooked. The decision to retreat into the temple was not made lightly. Defending the temple, Yzarc and Alaris acted as a barrier to provide cover for the Journeymen to run in, the two [[Di Plagia|di Plagia]] working as one to prevent the focused onslaught. The battle ensued outside as the eclectic mix of Dark Jedi, including Sanguinius, injured in a fighter crash, [[Inarya]] and [[Anubis Annedu]] poured into the temple. The battle continued to thunder above, as Octavia fought as part of the Gold Squadron against the droid threat, empowered by seeing Sanguinius crash. The distress signal from within the temple was picked up by the battered ''Instigator'' and Cassandra Elsin responded with a small strike force. Below, after a brief rest and regeneration period for those barricaded inside, the droid forces broke through the defences of the temple unleashing a hail of blaster beams; a prism of colours emanated in the dark temple hall as the Dark Jedi, led by Alaris, formed a deflective barrier against the oncoming droids. A mix of telekinesis and lightsaber proficiency provided the injured and inadequate with enough time to remove themselves from the line of battle as the diverse orders of Krath, Obelisk and Sith united as one against the common enemy. The defensive line began to move back as they used the force to reunite the doors. Outside Callus and his small strike force were too late, as the doors shut for the first time; it was their duty to repel the unrelenting bombardment of the droids front line and protect the integrity of '''Clan''' Plagueis.

Back at the '''Clan''' Plagueis base of operations, the beachhead, Cassandra took her initiative to lead a regiment and three AT-AT walkers to relieve the pressures outside the temple. Within the temple, Mograine and the other Journeymen pushed into the higher levels, only to see the droids attempting to enter from the roof. The Temple on Antei was a sacred place, so for such a historical and necessary knowledge bank to come under threat would be a great loss to the Brotherhood as a collective. Mograine, and his new found counterpart, an Acolyte, took up defensive positions within the middle room of the fourth floor hurling strong and repulsive attacks against their attackers. Five hours into the siege Mograine, having lost his counterparts in the valour of battle and having dampened the attack on the roof, sat in the basement with Alaris, both of which were fatigued and worn down by the epic scale of the war raging around them. Joining the Proconsul and the Journeyman were Anubis Annedu and Sanguinius Tsucyra. With the morale low down in the basement, both the Dark Jedi and the ensign soldiers saw no future. Eludajae, Impetus, Vivackus Kavon, Denath, Jaek, Jaysun and Yzarc were also trapped in the underground tomb. The echoing thud became evermore clear as the droids encroached on their position.
[[File:ATATJabim_edited.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Heavy vehicles in battle with the alien enemies.]]

Meanwhile, Callus, having lost his strike force, was met by the regiment [[Cassandra El'sin]] was heading, and followed suit to change his fate, utilizing gung-ho tactics, as opposed to the guerrilla warfare he had used only hours prior to subdue the enemy. The call to help from Callus to relieve the pressure in the air was met by Octavia’s Gold Squadron who made easy work of the Vulture droids attacking Cassandra’s AT-AT vehicles. The aura of pride was palpable in the basement as the Dark Jedi formations readied themselves for conflict. The following battle became a confused mesh of sabers and blaster bolts flashing and screaming past, inches from their allies and adversaries. The last stand had begun. Back at the base camp Koga had risen from the drug-induced coma, feeling deep remorse for his actions, described to him by the most inanimate of beings – a medical droid. Their connection; however, was not destroyed by the previous circumstances, in truth, they were reinforced. Cassandra, upon arriving at the temple, did not hesitate to start slicing into the rear of the droid flanks, accompanied by her Iron Throne guards and skirmishers. Above, Gold Squadron’s Octavia pockmarked the sea of ominous metal with thick plumes of orange tinges and small grey mushroom clouds. Slowly the reinforcements began to carve into the droid defences, weakening them with every slash, every shot and every explosion; Cassandra, now accompanied by Callus, pierced into the frontline defences, who focused more on the AT-AT walkers – one of the main factors contributing to their disadvantage.

As the battle for existence raged below Cassandra and Callus’ feet, Alaris Jinn, along with the remainder of his fellow Dark Jedi became more and more aware of how necessary reinforcements were in these closing minutes. Fatigue overwhelmed the eclectic selection of battling Dark Jedi. Just as all hope was being lost, an explosion followed by the emergence of the two Dark Jedi and the Iron Throne troopers who systematically tore through the ranks of the droids, saving the lives of their peers. The Dark Jedi filtered their own ways, Cassandra and Sanguinius beckoned by the Rollmaster Cethgus, Vivackus tending to the needs of his apprentice, Alaris reporting back to Braecen; however, their bond, had grown stronger than ever. Braecen's lips blossomed into a tell-tale Corellian smirk. He was not sure what the future would hold for '''Clan''' Plagueis, but he knew he would enjoy watching them succeed as a unified '''clan''' under the steady hand of the Iron Throne.

=== Insurrection ===
Immediately following victory at Antei, most of the Dark Jedi of '''Clan''' Plagueis returned to the [[Jusadih System]], as per the orders of Consul [[Braecen Kaeth]]. Braecen himself did not follow. He was ordered to remain on Antei for the time being where the new Grand Master, [[Muz Ashen]] could keep tabs on him. This left Proconsul [[Alaris Jinn di Plagia]] in command giving Jinn the opportunity he needed to continue his ascension to the Plagueian Throne. He began to make sweeping changes to the military outlook of '''Clan''' Plagueis.

Finally, after four months without Braecen, Alaris made the most overt move for power by attacking and capturing [[Cethgus Kuga]] with the assistance of [[Arion Sunrider]]. Jinn declared himself [[Consul]] which immediately caused a rift between the two Houses of '''Clan''' Plagueis. [[House Satal Keto]], more specifically [[Vivackus Kavon]] and [[Kal Vorrac]], were loyal to Alaris, who had once led the House himself. [[House Exar Kun]] was, at the time, under the command of Quaestor [[Yzarc Rellik Kaeth]], a member of the [[Kaeth]] dynasty and therefore loyal to Braecen.

Jinn sent the prisoner, Kuga, to [[Morroth]] to be handled personally by Kavon. Yzarc knew this would be the case, and expected Jinn to be there with them. House Exar Kun began a full sweeping attack of Satal Keto's holdings, eventually capturing the Quaestor, Kavon. At this point, Vivackus Kavon revealed that Braecen had contacted him months before and demanded his fealty. Kavon had given it to him, and it had been requested of him that he act as if he had aligned himself with Jinn, in an attempt to draw the would-be Consul out of his secrecy and declare open war against the Kaeth dynasty.

All chaos broke out. Houses no longer mattered. Dark Jedi were choosing which Consul to follow, Braecen or Alaris. The fighting moved to [[Kapsina]], where those loyal to Alaris attempted to defend him, while those loyal to Braecen were trying to kill Alaris. When the fighting finally broke into the Throne Room at the apex of the Dark Tower on Kapsina, Alaris was already defending himself.

Braecen had arrived back from Antei and was overpowering Jinn. This was until Arion once again stepped into the fight. The battle fell behind the elevated throne and into the office of the Consul of '''Clan''' Plagueis. Braecen did not return from that fight, only Alaris and Arion. Alaris declared himself Consul, undisputed, and he appointed Arion as his Proconsul.

=== The Debacle at Salas V ===
{{Main|Spoils of War}}
Plagueis was a [[Clan]] largely unprepared for the [[Spoils of War|Battle of Salas V]]. Since the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|Unification]] and subsequent Insurrection of [[Alaris Jinn di Plagia]], unrest in the [[House Summit|Summits]] of [[House Exar Kun]] and [[House Satal Keto]] had plagued the [[Jusadih System]]. Thus, the Clan was largely unprepared for the eradication of the planet's native [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] hives and incurred heavy losses. When the other Clans on the planet turned on one another, Plagueis was forced into many hasty retreats and strategic withdrawals. Before the conflict had even ended, the sudden and vicious attack from the other Clans had crippled the Plagueian war effort and forced them off of the planet.

Recovering back to his home system of [[Jusadih System|Jusadih]], [[Consul]] Alaris turned to his [[Proconsul]] [[Vivackus Kavon|Vivackus Kavon di Plagia]] and long-time Quaestor of Satal Keto [[Kal Vorrac|Kal di Plagia Vorrac]] for advice and stratagem of how to survive. While Kavon and Jinn held down the political aspects of administering, it was Vorrac who worked with his own [[House]] and Exar Kun to maintain stability. Meanwhile, Vorrac exercised the influence he'd gained in advisory capacity on Alaris to position Jusadih's Stratocratic government and Military to better protect the weakened system. It was then that Vorrac extended his influence throughout the networks of that Military in secret, coercing and persuading many into becoming his agents.

=== Reform ===
Clan Plagueis and the Jusadih System, though better consolidated and stable, were still met with considerable fractures from the internal Houses of Exar Kun and Satal Keto. The efforts to instigate new training methods, spearheaded by Quaestor Vorrac, were met with opposition by the leadership of Exar Kun. Old policies and inefficient divisions of power left the House floundering, no longer growing weaker but unable to grow strong.

It was this condition, along with similar losses from [[Salas V]] amongst every Clan in the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]], that led to the [[Iron Throne]] consolidating the great Clans into Houses. Exar Kun and Satal Keto were merged under one name, one identity, and one set of leaders as House Plagueis. It was under this new structure that Alaris Jinn di Plagia became the first Quaestor of Plagueis, Vivackus his first Aedile under the new structure. It was a system that would not last long.

=== New Management ===
Alaris' vision for Clan Plagueis had been a strong one, but the squabbling and indecision of the Clan had long since taken the wind from his sails. Seeing his Proconsul Vivackus, along with Vivackus' former Master Kal, moving to consolidate power only strengthened his decision. Before a coup, power grab, or assassination attempt could weaken Plagueis further, Alaris made the wise decision to step aside as Quaestor.

It was in this void that Vivackus struck out for power, moving to take the natural place of Ascension. It was then that he was encountered by Vorrac and his Military allies, many promised power or better position within Jusadih's ranks. Thus, when entering the Throne Room, a display of armed Dark Jedi and military assets aimed at the lone Kavon persuaded him to nod in assent as his Master took the throne. Thus began the reign of Supreme Commander Kal Vorrac, and the reorganization of the Military into the [[Jusadih Military Regime]].

It would not be long, though, before the Dark Jedi of Plagueis would be tested again.

=== Disorder ===
{{Main|Disorder}}

House Plagueis, like all the other factions of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, was torn apart by the conflict between the former Orders. Krath were pitted against Obelisk, Sith against Krath. The entire Brotherhood erupted in conflict that transcended House and Council bonds. Plageuis' own leadership was swept up in the unfolding drama, and infighting was rampant, leading to the entire House weakening considerably.

Following the victory of the Obelisk over the other orders, Tra'an Reith di Plagia managed to reunite the fledgling factions of House Plagueis with animosity toward the Iron Throne. Tra'an blamed the Iron Throne for all of their troubles, and was essentially uniting the forces of House Plagueis with their discord and polarization against the Iron Throne. Tra'an secured the power of the House, and began leading it back towards its former glory.

=== Invasion ===
{{Main|Tenth Great Jedi War}}

As has happened many times in the Brotherhood's history, the Dark Lord of the Sith and Grand Master of the Brotherhood, [[Muz Ashen]]. decided (with the persuasion of the Dark Council and other influential leaders) it was time to strike a blow to the growing threat of the Jedi. A plan was devised to attack New Tython, the homeworld of [[Clan Odan-Urr]], and to decimate the Jedi and their growing number of allies and sympathizers. The plans were devised by the Consul's and the Dark Council, and the order to attack was eventually given.
[[File:TieFighters.JPG|thumb|195px|right|Plagueian fighters lining up for an assault against the forces of Odan-Urr.]]

Plagueis, however, suffered during this period. The apparent disappearance of the leaders of Plagueis left their forces in disarray. Tra'an Reith di Plagia, along with Ronovi, took power while the opportunity was ripe. Plagueis forces saw action on New Tython in various engagements, though their contribution did nothing to sway the battle in any major way. However, the Ascendant Legion had proven it was a ferocious fighting machine and worthy of the respect of the rest of the Brotherhood. It was during this Tenth Great Jedi War that the Ascendant Legion would begin its quick journey to a reputation of deadly ferocity and combat excellence.

Following the War's conclusion, there was much more to come for Plagueis.

=== Orian Incursion ===
{{Main|Orian Incursion}}

The "Summer Invasion" was a plan devised by a fragile alliance consisting of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] and Plagueis to lay waste to [[Clan Naga Sadow]]'s holdings. Their goal was to prove their capability and ruthlessness to the Dark Council, and to prove that, as individual Clan's, they could stand as equals among the other Clans of the Brotherhood.

Initially the alliance was a devastating, if fragile force. Naga Sadow was no match for the combined military might and experience of the Ascendant Legion and the Palatinae military. Victory after victory allowed the alliance to keep momentum in their favour, forcing the Sadowans into continuous retreats deeper into their holdings. However, unknown to Clan Plagueis and its leadership, Scholae Palatinae was using Plagueis simply as a resource to achieve their own ends, throwing them deep into battle with Sadowan forces, and in turn weakening both enemies so they were ripe for the taking.

An order, so named "Order 66" similar to that which was issued at the end of the [[starwars:Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]], was issued by Palatinae forces. Plagueis was betrayed and their forces were decimated, forcing them to retreat from the battle. Plagueis was hardest hit during this failed operation, though their former allies also had a bloody nose. Their initial foe, the Sadowans, were never fully defeated and thus lived another day.

=== Horizons ===
{{Main|Horizons}}

The ambitions of a former Sith Lord, Zoraan, to take the Iron Throne by force was preceded by a deadly plague. Clan Plagueis was the first organization effected within the Brotherhood, though the [[Shadow Academy]] and other Clans were effected as well. Primarily infecting Journeymen, the plague specifically targeted Force sensitive beings, first increasing their powers, and then gradual sapping the life force of the individual until a long-winded death overcame them.

Madness swept the Brotherhood due to the plague. Rampant acts of extreme violence, even for Dark Jedi and Sith, were being reported from all infected quarters. From this chaos Zoraan eventually struck, fighting for supremacy across Brotherhood territory, hoping that the weakened ranks of Force sensitives among the Houses and Clans would be enough for him to take control of the Iron Throne.

To the rest of the Brotherhood, Plagueis seemed to have disappeared. However, the Force had guided Plagueis to the [[starwars:Stygian_Caldera|Stygian Caldera]]. There, they found an ancient, derelict space station. Licking its wounds, Plagueis decided to explore the station, and eventually, make it their new base of operations. This would come to be known as [[The Anchorage]].

=== Dark Crusade ===
{{Main|Dark Crusade}}

Though still recovering from their near annihilation at the Battle of Jusadih, the forces of House Plagueis joined with those of the other clans and houses in their combined assault on the SSD Avenger II. As they still wished to remain dead to the rest of the Brotherhood, Plagueian units appeared as agents of the Iron Throne, their true allegiances hidden. Two main teams participated in the assault: one led by Quaestor Tra'an Reith and Aedile Solus Gar, the other headed up by Arden Karn. Both teams managed to make successful landings, but were ultimately stymied in their advances by overwhelming enemy opposition. A team made up primarily of forces from Naga Sadow broke through first and ended up taking the fight to the ship's bridge. The Plagueians were left to fend off wave after wave of enemy reinforcements, keeping the way clear for the Sadowans.

Though some in Plagueis viewed their valiant fight a small victory, in the eyes of Tra'an, it was an abject failure. It was a lost opportunity to prove their worth to the Brotherhood. The fact that they had been shown up by Sadowans was also not lost on the Plagueians. Tra'an vowed that it would be the last time Naga Sadow would humiliate Plagueism, and he would avenge their past transgressions. It would not be long before his chance came.

The attack from Archibald Zoraan leading into the Horizons Crisis sent the Brotherhood reeling, and when the Iron Throne called for retribution and issued a campaign order to seize the Sith Worlds, Tra'an saw it as a chance to bring Plagueis back into the fold. Its military might now rebuilt after their raid on Ord Pardron, the Ascendant House set out for Nfolgai. The Sadowans were there as well, much to Tra'an's delight. In a brazen show of force, the Dread Lord drove his ships straight at the Sadowan fleet and revealed Plagueis to the Brotherhood at large as a force to be reckoned with.

=== Fading Light ===

{{Main|Fading Light}}

Following the Dark Crusade, One Sith Forces occupied a number of key planets. The entire Dark Brotherhood, including Clan Plagueis, united against the Sith Lord Darth [[Esoteric]] and his [[One Sith]] followers. In particular, various members of the Clan alongside their unlikely allies fought to retrieve valuable artifacts that would aid the Dark Brotherhood in its war against the pretending One Sith. They even went so far as to lay siege to Esoteric's stronghold on [[Nicht Ka]], though Esoteric could not be harmed during the battle.

Though the artifacts retrieved on the various worlds were valuable in and of themselves, the Brotherhood found that the war with the One Sith would rage on for quite some time. Clan Plagueis, therefore, had to discover various other means to increase their military might in order to secure their place among the Brotherhood, and against their One Sith foes.

=== Sphere of Influence ===

{{Main|Sphere of Influence}}

During and following the conflict with the One Sith, Clan Plagueis sought to solidify itself as a strong, independent unit of the Brotherhood. To do so they would need more financial power and an influence spread across the galaxy in a shadow empire of sorts.

Under the command of then Consul [[Aabsdu Dupar]], a plan was devised to take over a wealthy ship-manufacturing company named Hyperdyne Industries. It would provide the Clan a financial base with which to acquire new assets, as well as an industrial base with which to support any war effort Plagueis may need to undertake in order to grow its base of power. Its location on the massive world of Cadinth was also a bonus, located near Plagueis's current base of operations, [[The Anchorage]], in the [[starwars:Stygian_Caldera|Stygian Caldera]].
[[File:Lethracity.jpg|thumb|240px|left|Lethra City, the capital of Cadinth.]]

The Clan leadership covertly infiltrated the company over a period of a few months, gaining followers at various levels within the company, including those close to its current President and founder, Corbin Zexx. Concurrently, Plagueis also assembled forces in the capital of Lethra City to be deployed when the Clan Summit confirmed the company was ripe for its aggressive takeover. The Summit also monitored progress of their covert operations from this base in Lethra City.

Months of hard work paid off, and the attack against Corbin Zexx was launched. A small strike force comprising of the Clan's brightest minds and battle-hardened warriors successfully infiltrated Hyperdyne headquarters, allowing [[Teylas Ramar]] and his strike-team to directly confront President Zexx. Zexx was defiant until the end, hopelessly trying to outrun his enemies. Eventually Zexx was eliminated on the top of what was formerly his own company's headquarters, and the process of bringing Hyperdyne firmly under the control of Clan Plagueis was initiated. Plagueis now had a reliable means of generating wealth and material for their new endeavours.

=== Anchorage Event ===

Learning the secrets of their new base of operations was not as easy as first expected. Though nothing is when dealing with an old Sith starbase.

==== Trouble Brewing ====

Intending to explore the depths of the ancient space station, the Anchorage, Clan Plagueis had sent in exploration teams under the guidance of Marduss. However, after over thirteen hours of no contact, [[Teylas Ramar]] and [[Furios Morega]] led a six-person team in search of their missing comrades. They were to discover the source of their assumed disappearance within the bowels of the station. Ramar and Morega split up, and unknown to Furios or the higher chain of command of Plagueis, Ramar was attacked by Sithspawn and cut off from the rest of his team.

Aboard the KSD Transcendent, former Consul [[Vivackus Kavon di Plagia]], along with Furios Morega, Kz'set, [[Taranae Rhode]] and Callus Bo’Amar were dealing with a situation. Vivrackus had sent Ramar to [[The Anchorage]], once again to discover more of the vast hidden secrets the ancient station had yet to reveal. However, Ramar hadn’t reported in on time and had seemingly gone missing. Knowing this was uncommon for Ramar, Vivrackus ordered they all take small search parties to the station in search of him.

==== Survival of the Fittest ====

The Consul himself, Vivackus, was exploring the station with [[Selika Roh]], one of the many teams Vivrackus himself had ordered to search the station for Ramar. The two parted ways after a short conversation, though Vivackus was set upon by the Sithspawn. Six hours later he awoke, his leg broken and located in what appeared to be some sort of arboretum. Quickly getting on the comms, he was joined by Selika Roh, Kul’tak and Taranae Rhode. Though they had regrouped, they felt the Sithspawn nearby. Not knowing what it was, the four kept cover, awaiting the inevitable evil about to pounce on their position. While they waited, they sent out transmissions to the other teams, notifying them of their location and situation.

Furios Morega found an injured though alive Teylas Ramar wandering the depths of the Anchorage. Ramar, though injured, had learned invaluable information about the Sithspawn, including their tactics and capabilities. Explaining to Ramar that the Dread Lord and his team were located in this arboretum, Ramar made the group hurry. Ramar explained the arboretum, specifically the flora in it, acted as a recharging station for the power of the Sithspawn, meaning that the Dread Lord and his companions were in great danger.

The two [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] found themselves looking at the Dread Lord and his companions from a distance. Teylas explained that, based on his experience with the Sithspawn, they had walked into a trap on the other team. Teylas, knowing that a head-on assault with the beasts would prove fruitless, stressed caution and patience to Furios. They let the Sithspawn reveal themselves from their position, and when they were fully committed, the two joined the battle, helping the Dread Lord and his companions cut down the dangerous beasts.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Dread Lord pulled Teylas aside. Pleased with the Teylas’s performance, regardless of him being lost, Vivackus explained he needed Teylas to prepare for a new, brewing war.

=== Great Jedi War XI: Plagueis Civil War ===

{{Main|Great Jedi War XI}}

Consul Vivackus and Proconsul Kz’set were aboard the KSD Transcendent, discussing the current conflict within the Dark Brotherhood. Kz’set was expressing his reservations to Vivackus about entering into an alliance with the One Sith, specifically their leader, Darth Esoteric. The latter topic was of specific importance and concern for Kz’set, who felt that the Dread Lord was making the wrong and illogical choice in the matter. Vivackus explained, as a show of trust, he left his personal files available to Kz’set about the alliance with Darth Esoteric and the One Sith, hoping though not confident to alleviate the Verpine’s concerns. They parted ways on opposing sides of the matter.

The Dread Lord heavily suspected Kz’set would turn on him thinking it was for the good of Clan Plagueis. In due course, he contacted Teylas Ramar, hoping to gain his allegiance in the coming Plagueis internal conflict, as well as his proven ability as a master strategist. Teylas agreed, for his benefit and for the benefit of the Clan, to stand beside the Dread Lord. Together, they began readying their forces.

Elsewhere, Proconsul Kz’set began gathering his own allies. Dralin Fortea and Selika Roh were chief among them, lending their support to a Kz’set who saw the One Sith as a threat to Clan Plagueis’s and, overall, the Brotherhood’s survival.

==== Battlelines Drawn ====

Darth Esoteric and his military advisors were aboard the ISD Vanguard, discussing the implications of becoming involved in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood conflict being waged over Korriban. Esoteric made it clear to his advisors that they were entering the fight, but they were waiting for the entirety of the Brotherhood forces, including the late-comers Clan Plagueis, to become involved in the battle.

Kz’set and Selika Roh found themselves traveling down to the surface of Korriban together. Kz’set had been tasked by the Dread Lord to take a specific objective with limited resources and troops at his command. Though the chance of success was slim, even with the addition of a second Dark Jedi to his arsenal, Kz’set was not about to fail and be eliminated by the Dread Lord from a distance. However, en route to the surface, their shuttle came under attack by the Transcendent. Specifically, former Admiral Brimstone had overseen the Verpine conspiring with his allies and had decided to take action himself. The Dread Lord was most displeased, killing an officer in a short rage to make an example for Brimstone. This also led the Dread Lord to accelerate his plans to eliminate his Pronconsul. Continuing to make an example of Brimstone, the Dread Lord commanded he hunt down Kz’set and his allies, killing them once and for all since he had failed using the ship’s weapons systems.

==== Journey for the Holocron of Ajunta Pall ====

The relic hunter, con-man and Dark Jedi Connor Grey contacted both Teylas Ramar aboard his flagship, and the surviving Kz’set on the surface, telling them of a rare artifact found in the tomb of Ajunta Pall. Both Teylas, along with the Dread Lord, as well as Kz’set agreed to meet with Grey, understanding the huge benefit any artifacts could be to their individual and collective goals within the Clan and greater Brotherhood. He departed for the surface, while the Dread Lord and Dralin Fortea departed on their own shuttle, discussing the Proconsul’s defection from the Dread Lord and leadership of Clan Plagueis.
[[File:KorribanPlag.png|thumb|210px|right|Korriban, the location of the Tomb of Ajunta Pall.]]

Around this same time, Kz’set and Selika Roh, joined by Furios and a bulk of Clan Plagueis forces located on the surface, were reunited. The Verpine Proconsul had a considerable backing, and he took his companions and troops toward the Tomb of Ajunta Pall, trying to be ready for any outcome.

The two forces faced light resistance on their journey towards the ancient Tomb. The Dread Lord’s group arrived first, proceeding through the entrance of the Tomb even though they conveniently could not contact Connor Grey. However, within moments the Dread Lord loyalists were cornered by Kz’set’s companions. A brief stalemate ensued, with both sides passing insults attempting to stall the inevitable battle. Finally, the stalemate was broken by Dralin, who exposed his loyalty to Kz’set against the Dread Lord, notifying Kz’set that Teylas was attempting to proceed toward the holocron while they were distracted. And thus the battle commenced.

==== Plagueis Used ====

The battle commenced, with the Dread Lord and Proconsul engaging directly in combat. The rest of the Dark Jedi, soldiers and droids engaged each other, creating a chaotic conflict in an enclosed space, fighting for the ability to survive and escape with the holocron and its invaluable knowledge intact.

The duel between the two leaders was especially fierce, proceeding back and forth between the master Dark Jedi. However, taking advantage of a distracted Vivackus, who began to realize his true enemy was not Kz’set at all, Kz’set eventually struck his former Dread Lord down and ended the battle. It was at this time, though Kz’set had realized he was being played from the start, that Esoteric revealed himself to the remaining Plagueis forces. Moments of gloating were followed by Esoteric’s fleet bombarding the surface of Korriban, attempting to destroy as much of Clan Plagueis that was assembled as he could, helping to further the rise to power of the One Sith.

Esoteric’s attack united the formerly divided Clan Plagueis, with its leadership on the surface barely escaping the reign of death called down from Esoteric’s fleet.

The Plagueis leadership attempted to regroup on the surface, coordinating among each other to confirm what resources they had left at their disposal to begin planning a way to take the fight to Esoteric.

While the Tomb of Ajunta Pall was unoccupied following the orbital bombardment, Montresor attempted to recover the body of Vivackus for a master not-yet-known. Sensing a slight fragment of the former Dread Lord’s essence remaining, he retrived to the body to be taken back to his current master for their devious purposes.

=== Restoration ===

{{Main|Restoration}}

The Plagueian Clan leadership and their companions found themselves licking their wounds following the assault on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] by One Sith forces. Their resources were depleted, their fleet was nowhere to be found, and their Dread Lord was, as far as they knew, dead. A chance communication from Admiral Ranin informed the remaining Plagueis leadership that their former base of operations, [[The Anchorage]], was under the control of Xander Drax. Furthermore a large portion of their forces were under Drax's control. With this information in mind, a plan was devised to take back the Ascendant Fleet and their unique headquarters.

It was a three phase plan. The first involved retaking key ships, part of the [[Ascendant Fleet]], in order to re-establish a base of power and create an ability to assault their former space station. The first phase was wildly successful, and the Plagueian leadership won the majority of their ships back. The second phase of the plan was an assault on the station itself, and with the help of members of the [[Dark Council]] formerly of Clan Plagueis, their assault was successful. The third phase of the plan was to hunt down Xander Drax himself, though the station and its malevolent depths swallowed Xander before the Plagueian leadership could get to him.

Plagueis had successfully retaken their base of operations, and though still weakened, its leadership looked forward to re-establishing their hold over the galaxy.

=== Forged Alliances ===

[[Vivackus Kavon di Plagia]] found himself on [[starwars:Kamino|Kamino]], following a vision he had had many times before. Though he was not sure of the reason for his being there, he knew it was a part of the rough transition he had since his essence had been placed in a Miraluka body. A combination of learning to see through the Force without eyes, and the missing memories and essence of the body he now occupied was leaving Vivackus mentally unstable and many believed unfit to lead Plagueis.

==== A Change at the Top ====

Tra’an Reith followed Vivackus to Kamino, intending to duel the current Dread Lord into a submission of some form of defeat, forcing him to relinquish the title of Dread Lord to someone else more worthy of it. A fierce duel ensued on the planet, with both combatants coming close to death. However, Reith found himself the victor, forcing his will upon the former Dread Lord. Vivackus surrendered, and Reith spared his life, departing to take a message back to Clan Plagueis to help instate a new Consul.

==== Haunted by the Dead ====

[[Teylas Ramar]] was meeting with the Consul and Proconsul of [[Clan Tarentum]], hoping for assistance in dealing with an imposing, powerful and shape-shifting menace aboard [[The Anchorage]], and through their assistance, hoping to strike an alliance with the Clan of Death. Though the meeting was briefly interrupted to have the Plagueis leadership inform Ramar he was the new Dread Lord of Clan Plagueis, it didn’t change the plan in the slightest. In exchange for assistance in dealing with the shape-shifting threat aboard their ancient space station, Plagueis offered the assistance of their military and political might to the Tarenti as their first token of a growing alliance.

Sometime later, the new Dread Lord and his Tarenti delegation arrived on the Anchorage. Acting quickly, the Dread Lord assembled a team to lead the Tarenti delegation down into the lower depths of the station, hoping to satisfy the curiousity of the Tarenti and guaranteeing their help to resolve the matter. They encountered the form of Xander Drax, though it was only Drax physically. The being, powerful in the Dark Side of the Force, didn’t directly engage the Plagueis and Tarenti forces, simply showing itself and fading back into the shadows. The [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] masters from Tarentum were highly intrigued.

==== The Bloodstone ====

The Tarenti delegation, in cooperation with the Plagueian forces, devised a plan to trap the ancient being hounding the residents of the ancient space station. They acquired an ancient Sith artifact known as a Bloodstone, which Bloodfyre assured the Plagueian Dread Lord would help capture the ancient being within its eternal depths. Teylas and Farrin performed the ritual, trapping the threat inside its depths and freeing the Anchorage of yet another evil keeping them from furthering the development and repair of the station.

With the ancient being intact and the help provided by Tarentum invaluable in the use of the Bloodstone, the two delegations parted ways. Sometime later they contacted each other, when the Tarentum representative asked about the status of the Bloodstone. Ramar replied that it was in the possession of Tarenti forces, not Clan Plagueis. A quick back and forth led the two Consul’s to realize that the artifact known as the Bloodstone was currently lost, and the being or beast trapped inside it along with it. Its location at this time remains a mystery. But the alliance between Plagueis and Tarentum had begun.

=== Between Light and Dark ===

{{Main|Battle of Florrum}}

Clan Plagueis was stewing from the shadows. The Ascendant Fleet was mostly restored, their armies were prepared for battle, their coffers were full due to their control of a major galactic company, and their leadership was hungry for blood and power. The example set by [[Darth Pravus]] provided ample opportunity for Plagueis to prove themselves in the eyes of the Brotherhood leadership. In the name of the Grand Master of the Brotherhood, Clan Plagueis would hunt down the Jedi and their undesirable kin to the planet [[starwars:Florrum|Florrum]], seeking to vanquish the Jedi and their armies, and take the undesirables as slaves to fuel the well-oiled machine that was Plagueis.

==== Attack on Athiss ====

The Sith's plans began on [[Athiss]], where a host of undesirable soldiers and refugees sought protection from the Brotherhood that had cast them out. However, the Ascendant Fleet was aware of their location and darkened the skies with their ships. Defenses on the surface were not fully operational, and the Sith fleet made quick work of most resistance.

However, an Arkanian by the name of Thrax Kolzaar managed to successfully dispatch a message to [[Clan Odan-Urr]], warning them of Plagueis's actions on Athiss and their further hunt. [[Selika Roh]], the Proconsul of the Sith Clan, arrived too late to stop the message, but early enough to aggressively convince its sender to tell her the message's content.

==== The Road to Florrum ====

The Grand Master had dispatched the [[Inquisitorius]] to aid the Plagueians in their conquest, while Odan-Urr had passionate undesirables bolstering their ranks. The Jedi had fled to the planet Florrum, using steep terrain and unpredictable [[starwars:Weequay|Weequay]] pirates to their advantage.
[[File:ATTEPlag.jpg|thumb|190px|left|AT-TE's assaulting Odan-Urr positions.]]

The surface of Florrum was volatile at best, making it difficult for Plagueian forces to land. Furthermore, the element of surprise had been lost while allies of the Sith searched for the location of the Jedi, which is what led them to Florrum in the first place. The Dread Lord, Teylas Ramar, had a crucial battle ahead of him against a well entrenched Jedi force. Though Plagueis had the numbers and the resources to mount an assault, it was still a major risk. However, the order was given and the Ascendant Fleet secured the space over Florrum. Once they had a window of opportunity, they began landing troops.

Though the fighting was fierce, Plagueian forces managed to push back and eventually break the lines of Clan Odan-Urr. Their fleet was dispatched and their troops were scattered, though the Sith clan had suffered some major losses themselves. Plagueis didn't manage to catch or kill many, if any Jedi, though they were successful in acquiring a massive amount of slaves to fuel their growing ambitions. Those undesirables and Odanites that managed to escape successfully slipped through Plagueian lines, licking their wounds. Following the battle, the Dread Lord made it clear that he was keen to continue the mission set out by the Grand Master: hunt the undesirables. And he would do just that to the ends of the galaxy if need be.

=== Journey to Aliso (Plagueis Pro Bowl) ===

No matter where the undesirables ran, Plagueis was intent on finding them, no matter the cost. With the help of mercenary and bounty hunter named [[Laren Uscot]], the undesirable remnants from Florrum were tracked to an uninhabited system in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. Their location was pin-pointed, and the Ascendant Fleet gathered in orbit above a planet known as Aliso.

==== Race to the Bottom ====

The consul knew resistance would be light, and he relished in the opportunity to hunt down the remaining undesirables. Upon further investigation of the planet, Teylas and Selika realized that the undesirables were holed up in a massive superstructure built into the side of a mountain. Teylas then divided his forces, with himself leading a frontal assault on the structure, while Selika led a second assault on the adjacent spaceport for the facility.

The might of the [[Ascendant Legion]] was ordered to land on the surface, as the Dread Lord wanted the formidable building left intact. Neither Teylas nor Selika met stiff resistance, with both easily dispatching the passionate though hopeless resistance standing in their way. The structure itself was more of a mystery, and quite dangerous.

==== Trading Places ====

Upon infiltrating the gargantuan facility, Teylas and Selika ordered the majority of their forces to capture or kill the remaining sentient lifeforms left alive in the facility. The two leaders took the time following the hunt to inspect and learn more about the abandoned [[starwars:Confederacy_of_Independent_Systems|CIS]] base, both its purpose, it's true size, and the reason why the former [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Galactic Empire]] never utilized the facility. The Dread Lord's interest in the facility was immense, as it was a potential new base for the Clan.

A few weeks after clearing out the undesirables, the Dread Lord called a meeting. The entirety of the Clan's leadership arrived. After weeks of research on the facility, it was functionally operational and began revealing its secrets. As a former CIS prison, it had been intentionally kept off the various records of the former Separatist database. Though it wasn't exactly known what kind of facility it was beyond a prison, it was clear that whatever had been going on was not for public eye, whether Separatist or Loyalist. The Dread Lord announced that the base was to be the new Plagueis command centre, and the planet [[Aliso]] was to be their new home. The Anchorage was to be towed into the system as well, acting as a support base for the Ascendant Fleet and an option of retreat for the Plagueians on the surface, if ever the need arose.

With a new home in the Unknown Regions secured, and a means of putting their massive number of new slaves to work, Clan Plagueis was left in a secure position far from the prying eyes of the Iron Throne and the other Clans, as well as the greater galaxy at large. Nothing, of course, lasts forever.

=== A Call to Arms ===

The weeks had passed uneventfully, and the majority of the Clan had set to work on the monumental task of settling their new world and exploring their new headquarters. The Ascendant Clan assumed that beyond their allies on the Dark Council and in [[Clan Tarentum]], they were hidden from the more active machinations of Galactic affairs.

[[Crandl Lorne]], a high ranking member of the [[Inquisitorius]], arrived on the Plagueian homeworld of [[Aliso]] with little warning. His intentions were unknown, even to the reigning Consul, Teylas Ramar. But due to his status and standing within the Brotherhood, Lorne was given free reign. Though the hands of the Plagueian leadership were tied, everyone concluded that there was something amiss.

==== Hit and Run ====

With the majority of personnel located on the Alisian surface, the [[Ascendant Fleet]] was lightly manned by skeleton crews and droids. This would prove to be a fatal miscalculation, though no one could forsee a surprise attack.

A small, Imperial-type fleet dropped out of hyperspace near Aliso and engaged the unprepared Ascendant Fleet. In a conventional engagement, the latter would have had the upper hand, but the precise coordinates utilized in the enemy assault, and the undermanned crews of the Plagueian fleet made resistance utterly futile. The Ascendant Fleet was torn apart, and once there was nothing battle-ready remaining, the enemy fleet turned and jumped into hyperspace.

The Plagueian leadership was utterly stunned, but the leadership of Ramar and Selika Roh kept the rage of the Clan focused. Calling in favours from allies on the Dark Council and Clan Tarentum, Plagueis had the necessary ship strength to launch an invasion of their enemy's homeworld. With intelligence provided by Lorne, they also knew exactly where to go.

==== Swift, Sweet Revenge ====

Plagueis's enemy was known as the "Order of Vader". They were a fledgling Imperial remnant located in the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]], with a fanatic loyalty to the fallen Empire and grandiose dreams of returning to Galactic domination. Based on the intelligence provided by Crandl Lorne, the [[Ascendant Legion]] would be able to crush any of their resistance.

Under the direct command of the Dread Lord, Plagueian forces landed on the terrestrial world of Capis, with no notable resistance in the space over the planet. A landing zone for ground troops was quickly established, and a battle plan drawn to quickly dispatch their archaic foes.

The majority of the Ascendant Legion would comprise the centre flank, pushing hard and fast toward the suspected location of the Order of Vader's main base. The two Houses, [[Ajunta Pall]] and [[Karness Muur]], were located on the flanks, screening the primary advance, and eventually flanking around the enemy's headquarters to cut off their avenue of escape. It was a simple but effective plan, and for awhile it worked.

As Plagueian forces were drawing close to the Order of Vader's main base, their advance came to a halt. Yet again, a surprise counterattack by their Imperial enemies took them off guard, halting the advance and putting Plagueis on the defensive. The Houses took the brunt of the enemy assault, holding back wave after wave of [[starwars:Stormtroopers|Stormtroopers]], enemy armour, and even some artillery.

At the same time, Ramar and the rest of the Plagueian Summit came to the conclusion that there really was a traitor in their midst. And following the abrupt absence of Crandl Lorne, it was easy to determine who it was.

While Plagueian forces focused on repelling the Imperial assault, a team comprised of [[Taranae Rhode]], [[Silent]] and [[Tra'an Reith]] was sent after Lorne. They succeeded in capturing and terminating the Inquisitorius agent, while Teylas and Selika led their ground forces to victory over the Order of Vader.

Questions remained about Lorne's uncharacteristic betrayal. He was, and had been for some time, a zealous and loyal member of the Inquisitorius. He was fiercely loyal to the Dark Council and the Iron Throne, willing to take on any task in their name. What would turn a man against his allies? More importantly, did he even betray the Brotherhood, or was this part of some greater vendetta against the Ascendant Clan? With his death, only uncertainty remained within the clouded Force.

=== Aftermath ===

In late 34 ABY, Teylas Ramar and then Consul of Tarentum [[Frosty Romanae Tarentae]] came to an agreement that Pravus, whose loyalists Ramar had suspected to be behind the attack on the Ascendant Fleet and was suspected by Tarentum of ordering an Arconae to kill one of the Tarenti, had to be deposed. Plagueis prepared to gather what remained of its fleet while Tarentum, too, prepared for retribution.

Arcona came across the amassing Tarenti fleet as it sought to hand over the killer of the Tarenti to preserve the peace between the two clans. It was then that [[Sith Bloodfyre-Tarentae]] offered Arcona the opportunity to join the Ascendant Clan and the Clan of Death in their strike on Pravus. Arcona’s Shadow Scion accepted, and the stage was set for a brutal confrontation.

Plagueis and Tarenti forces arrived in Anteian space to confront a force loyal to the Iron Throne, hoping that Pravus would helm it himself. The remnants of the Ascendant Fleet and the forces of Tarentum took a battering, allowing the Consuls of the clans to make it aboard the flagship containing the enemy commander.

The commander turned out not to be Pravus, and this incensed Romanae, who tore through a series of officers in anger. However, the worst was yet to come, as the commander of the Iron Legion’s forces had sent out a distress beacon and reinforcements were coming.

As the Throne’s reinforcements arrived, all looked lost, but then came Arcona. The Shadow Clan had arrived with their Consul and their flagship, along with some reinforcements of their own, though their intention was not to get into a slugging match with the forces loyal to Pravus. Using the arrival of Arcona as a distraction, Plagueis and Tarentum were able to retreat back to the Yridia system, where Arcona would soon join them.

The assembled Consuls each stood firm in their opposition to Pravus, but they failed to come up with a satisfactory means of enticing the other clans to work together, and the clans went their separate ways.

=== The Enemy Below ===

While peace in its purest sense would never truly find Plagueis for more than a fleeting second, something similar settled over the clan for a few months. The members of the Clan had time to properly explore Aliso and its neighboring space and began establishing their dominion over it. During this time, the Clan’s two houses determined and instituted their headquarters: House Karness Murr put down roots at [[Korada Monastery]] while Ajunta Pull acquired a former Separatist outpost designated [[Supply Station Omega]]. It was also during this period of time that Selika Roh ascended to the position of Dread Lord, succeeding Teylas Ramar.

The thorough exploration of Aliso soon produced some unexpected consequences. A series of tunnels underneath Aliso City, previously thought empty, was revealed to house hundreds of thousands of [[starwars:Geonosians|Geonosians]]. The bug-like aliens, roused from their stasis, swarmed the tunnels in an effort to defend themselves, even utilizing Clone Wars-era droids in their efforts. The attack quickly spread into the city itself, which prompted a near-immediate response from Clan Plagueis.

While the battle was not particularly long, the suddenness of the attack and its location, a population center, certainly brought about casualties. Several high-ranking members of the clan took charge of the situation, some leading task forces into the Geonosian enclave themselves while others took point in defending the city. While not every effort could be considered a success, once the Plagueis summit discovered the details behind the attack and the individuals behind it, the Dread Lord herself descended into the tunnels with a detachment of soldiers.

The assault was a success, as the Dread Lord’s unit ignored most of the fighting and made directly for the Geonosian Queen. The Dread Lord’s Wrath, who had been taken captive earlier in the battle, was successfully rescued, and Roh came face-to-face with her target. This particular hive, the [[Valneikian hive]], knew that they were likely the last survivors of the Geonosian species. Therefore, the Dread Lord was able to use the threat of genocide via orbital bombardment to bring the queen under the control of Plagueis. With the queen came the entirety of the hive, and the battle was brought to an end.

While Aliso City began its recovery from the attack, the Clan made it a priority to find a place for the Valneikian hive to relocate to; they couldn’t have the Geonosians living underneath the city if they needed to make true on their threat. It only took a matter of weeks for the Geonosians to find a satisfactory home outside the city and begin their migration to it. They would quickly begin construction on the [[Valneikian spire]], but with the Geonosian threat now over and dealt with, the Clan could return to more important matters.

=== War Approaches ===

==== War Games ====

In mid-35 ABY, Selika Roh suspected that war was imminent. The recent attack by the Geonosians had shown that Plagueis hadn’t been prepared for war. Thus, she arranged with her Proconsul [[Abadeer Taasii]] and Rollmaster [[Arden Karn]] for Plagueis to carry out a series of exercises designed to increase the readiness and effectiveness of the Ascendant Clan’s armed forces.

As a result, Plagueis was in a much better position than it had been for the coming conflict.

==== The Collective ====

{{Main|Twelfth Great Jedi War}}

Plagueis watched as the battle between those who publicly opposed Pravus and the forces of the Iron Throne raged on in what had promised to be a battle for the ages. However, while such tension was playing out, Plagueis, along with the rest of the Brotherhood was surprised by a new force arriving and attacking everything in sight. This assault was led by a former member of the Brotherhood’s forces named Rath Oligard. Oligard and [[The Collective]] desired to rid the galaxy of Force Users entirely and planned to start with the Brotherhood. This ultimately brought on the [[Twelfth Great Jedi War]].

While it held no love for Pravus, the Dark Council, or the other clans, Plagueis knew that it would need to fight alongside them to survive. The Collective was tracked to the planet [[Nancora]], and the Ascendant Fleet faced one of its greatest challenges to date.

The preparations done by Plagueis paid off, and the Collective was driven from Nancora. However, that was not the end of the matter. The Collective struck out against all of the clans, and in the case of Plagueis, [[Dracaryis]] was dispatched by Pravus to ensure the survival of the Ascendant Clan and its fleets.

=== Relative Stability ===

==== Mysteries of Aliso ====

Safe from The Collective, at least temporarily, Plagueis ventured across Aliso, hoping to find new places and people of interest to the clan, either in a financial sense or as part of the war machine the Ascendant Clan had to repair and improve post-Nancora. Among the discoveries were Cordana Valley, a potential site for military exercises; the Pearl Islands, the largest of which was home to the questionable resort of Djeri’s Retreat; and the Isle of New Raxulon, a potential source of raw material and technical expertise. As its newest Consul, Arden Karn planned to bolster trade efforts and military campaigns with their planetside discoveries.

==== Song of Discord ====

Plagueis wasn’t going to have it easy for long, and Karn would have his crisis to deal with as Dread Lord. Someone intended to sow the seeds of dissent in the Plagueian slave caste. The first signs were shown by a rebellious slave at the D&D Construction Yards, igniting a minor explosion in the factories. The Dark Council offered aid in the form of the Inquisitorius but was bluntly rejected by Karn. He was determined that under his leadership, Plagueis would be able to take care of itself without what he saw as outside meddling.

Plagueians were under incredibly strict orders to watch out for further signs of unusual behavior, and security was tightened around key locations. Slaves that were noticed to be defective were sent off to [[The Pinnacle]], where they were interrogated, tortured, and reconditioned. Plagueis’ best and brightest medical personnel would seek to uncover the cause of the malfunction, while the people behind it were subject to intense investigation.

Ultimately, it was discovered that Sevrin Arce, a personal enemy of the Dread Lord’s, had been collaborating with The Collective. Arce’s brother was a slave on Aliso, and the Collective had told Sevrin that if he agreed to help them, he would be reunited with his brother. When Sevrin was brought before Karn, the two struck a deal: Sevrin and his brother would be free to leave Aliso if Sevrin gave Karn information on The Collective’s operatives. Karn injured Sevrin, and ordered him to be taken to his brother, who was working as medical personnel. Both men remained true to their word; the Arce brothers left Aliso, and Arden gained valuable information on Collective personnel. With this, those responsible for the potential slavery insurrection withdrew, knowing that they would soon be discovered by Plagueian forces.

==== Meridian ====

{{Main|Rite of Supremacy: Meridian}}

As [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]] drew to a close, several Dark Council vessels came under assault by the Collective. One such vessel, an Inquisitorius Listener Ship, managed to transmit vital intelligence on an objective by the name of “Meridian” before it perishes. Under the current circumstances, the Dark Council decided to call upon the aide of the Clans of the Brotherhood. Karn chose to assist the Dark Council alongside the other Clans in rebutting this new Collective assault and acting on the newly received intelligence.

Meridian was soon revealed to be the [[Meridian Prime space station]], a research station run by the Technocratic Guild, an arm of the Collective. Plagueis assisted Brotherhood forces in hunting down the station, eventually aiding the Brotherhood in taking control of it. The Brotherhood proved victorious in the conflict, and the Collective was driven back for the time being. With their pledge to assist the Dark Council fulfilled, Plagueian forces were able to return to the Aliso system.

Clan Plagueis once again entered an era of growth and development, with little interference from outside sources. While the group could not be considered “at peace”, they were able to devote time to cultivating the power of the clan in preparation for whatever conflict might come next.

==== Operation: Antiquity ====

{{Main|Operation: Antiquity}}

While scouring through some of the leftover Confederate databases that were slowly being merged into Plagueis archives, a notable discovery was made. A planet, code-named ‘’Reliquary’’, was positioned not too far away from the Aliso system. Said planet was rich in resources and remained relatively unplundered, and Karn decided that securing the payload that this planet provided was necessary, so the clan wasted little time in putting together a task force to do just that.

When the Plagueian summit and their retinue arrived on Reliquary, they discovered that several high-ranking members of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] were also laying claim to the planet. After a tense confrontation between the two summits, a verbal accord was quickly drafted: since Clan Plagueis sought only the material wealth of resources that the planet provided while Clan Naga Sadow sought ancient Sith secrets and relics, they would work together in a joint operation to scout, pacify, and plunder the planet. This joint venture was dubbed [[Operation: Antiquity]].

While there was certainly some friction between the operatives of the Clans, they managed to avoid any major incidents. Their cooperation persisted against pirates that had settled on the planet, as well as a fairly large army of battle droids seemingly left there by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Despite the enemies they faced, the two Clans working in tandem were able to handle themselves for several days, completing their objectives without any major tragedies or casualties.

Once the Clans felt their surveys and extractions had drained Reliquary of what value it held, Operation: Antiquity was dubbed a success and drawn to a close. The time spent working together left Plagueis and Naga Sadow closer in relations, but they were still far from staunch allies. Regardless, they parted on good terms, each taking what they came for and departing Reliquary. Clan Plagueis returned to the Aliso system to take stock of the successes and failures of the operation. With this new influx of resources, they were able to accelerate the process of growing their power and securing their hold on the Aliso system.

=== Discord ===

{{Main|Thirteenth Great Jedi War}}

Clan Plagueis encountered its first major shake-up in a while when Arden Karn stepped down, leaving his Wrath, Ronovi Tavisaen, to assume the throne. Surrounding her ascension to Dread Lord, a slew of other leadership changes also took place, including multiple non-Force Users coming into positions of power. These sudden and rapid changes would sow some unrest and contention within the clan, especially among purist Dark Jedi members. The new status quo had barely settled before the Dark Council was calling on Clan Plagueis, along with the other Brotherhood clans, to assist with their attempted alliance with the [[The_Severian_Principate|Severian Principate]]. While there was still some uncertainty within Plagueis about its future, this call to action would bind the Ascendant Clan together under a common cause for the time being.

While the Dark Council, along with emissaries from each of the Brotherhood Clan’s, was negotiating with the Principate, the Collective had carried out false-flag attack posing as the Brotherhood. This threw the [[Lyra-3K-a_system|Lyra-3K-a system]] into chaos, which the Dark Council needed assistance in suppressing. They also hoped to clear their name and forge an alliance with the Principate while keeping the Collective from gaining a valuable ally.

The Ascendant Fleet arrived at [[Lyra-3K-a_system#Thuvis_Imperial_Shipyard|Thuvis Imperial Shipyards]], where they planned to ally with the Principate forces and eliminate the Collective presence. The Collective was playing ally to the Principate but had plans to install an AI that would allow them to take control of the Shipyards. Plagueis was able to acquire proof of the Collective’s plan, winning the Severian Principate over, and the two fleets allied to eliminate the present Collective forces.

Even though some Principate personnel sided with the Collective, refusing to believe the Brotherhood’s innocence, the battle was won quite handily. Unfortunately, however, while the new Dread Lord’s Wrath, [[TuQ'uan Varick]], was aboard the Principate’s 5th Fleet flagship negotiating with its commander, an attempt was made on his life by a Collective spy. He managed to escape unscathed; however, the Dread Lord herself would not prove so lucky. A separate assassination attempt was carried out aboard the [[Ascendancy_(Imperial_I-class)|Ascendancy]], where Ronovi was in command. The attack had many casualties, one of which was the Dread Lord’s left arm.

There were some losses, but as the Clan proved victorious in the Shipyards, other Brotherhood forces had similar results. The Collective was routed from the system, and a Brotherhood-wide alliance with the Principate was forged. The Ascendant Fleet then returned to the Aliso system, many of the ranking members of Plagueis receiving medals for the efforts during the war. With the conflict behind them, the Clan was able to turn its focus inward and strive to grow ever stronger - this time, going on the offensive against remaining Collective splinter cells.

===Code: Dread===

Clan Plagueis didn’t have much time to rest and recover after the events of Discord. Their new policy of staying on offense against the Collective was put into motion within weeks of their triumphant return to the Aliso system. Plagueian agents operating from the Anchorage discovered a Collective splinter group lurking just outside the system in the Unknown Regions. This group was being led by Kel Zar, a Collective agent who had been partially responsible for the slave rebellion that occurred on Aliso the previous year. Not only was Kel Zar beginning to accrue a small fleet, but it was discovered that Collective spies from this same splinter group were infiltrating Plagueis’ home planet.

The Dread Lord quickly organized an assault to deal with the threat on all fronts, and the operation was dubbed Code: Dread. The Ascendant Fleet divided its ships to scrub the region clean of Kel Zar’s scattered fleet while also maintaining a strong defensive presence in the system. Many Plagueian agents, including high-ranking Lords and the Ascendant Legion, took to the streets of Aliso City to root out infiltrators once and for all and gather intel about Kel Zar’s plans.

Kel Zar herself, leading the bulk of her fleet, clashed with Task Force Besh and several Plagueian Lords. Although she was able to drag the battle out through keen tactics and strength of will, the sheer firepower and ability of Clan Plagueis proved to be too much for the Collective agent. When reinforcements from Aliso arrived, led by the Dread Lord’s Wrath, the battle was decided. Kel Zar narrowly escaped death and managed to flee from the battle, utterly defeated.

Meanwhile, on Aliso, the Collective infiltrators were discovered and dealt with before their plans to infiltrate the Pinnacle could become a reality. Losses had been kept to a minimum and the immediate threat the agents posed was over. Ronovi’s offensive tactics had proven their value in the success of Code: Dread. With a relative peace returning to the Clan, she soon would set even grander plans into motion.

=== House Tyranus and The Zsoldos Incursion ===

{{Main|The Zsoldos Incursion}}

As 37 ABY drew to a close, a massive modification in structure came to Clan Plagueis. Houses Ajunta Pall and Karness Murr were dissolved by the Dread Lord, replaced with one House in the form of [[House Tyranus]]. Alongside House Tyranus, [[Opress|Battleteam Opress]] was founded. While House Tyranus served as the main arm of Plagueis military and economic affairs, Opress was a much smaller unit that operated similarly to an elite hit squad. While the reorganization in structure did not affect the overall culture of the Clan, it brought plenty of other changes. Adjusting to said changes became a primary concern as [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#38 ABY|38 ABY]] dawned on the Brotherhood.

With the new calendar year came new troubles. Unbeknownst to the Clan or its members, the Collective agent Kel Zar, now cut off from her organization, had found a new ally in the form of [[Laren Uscot]]. The two began to formulate a plan to destroy Plagueis in its entirety. The beginnings of that plan came when Kel Zar approached the Bounty Hunter’s Guild and put a price on Arden Karn di Plagia, the former Dread Lord of Plagueis. This job was picked up by a member of the Brotherhood’s newest Clan, [[Clan Vizsla]].

Although an attempt was made by a member of Vizsla, Karn was able to overpower his attacker. When Tavisaen discovered that Vizsla was involved, she took it personally. Her talks with the Consul of Vizsla broke down quickly, and the Dread Lord decided to declare war on the Mandalorian clan, much to the chagrin of some of her subordinates. Nonetheless, the Ascendant Fleet and Ascendant Legion departed for [[Zsoldos]], Vizsla’s homeworld, and Plagueis began a campaign to levy justice for the offense.

The two clans clashed both on and above the planet. Multiple assaults were launched across Zsoldos in an attempt to take control of Vizslan facilities. By destroying the [[Zsoldos#Roark-Cole-Tresor_Research_Station|Roark-Cole-Tresor Research Station]], Vizsla was able to keep it out of Plagueis’ hands. They did not have as much luck with [[Zsoldos#Saga|Saga Hall]], however, which was occupied by the Ascendant Legion. The naval battle also moved in Plagueis’ favor, as they successfully repelled Vizsla’s attempt to take one of their capital ships and began to push back against the mercenary clan’s lesser numbers.

The battle, however, came to an abrupt halt with the Dark Council’s intervention, which requested the aid of both Vizsla and Plagueis in recovering the Deputy Grand Master from his imprisonment on [[Tenixir]]. Reluctantly, Plagueian forces withdrew from Zsoldos to focus on this new mission. The clans parted on bitter terms. It didn’t take long for Plagueis agents to discover that Laren Uscot and Kel Zar were behind the genesis of the conflict on Zsoldos, so they now had a new enemy to focus on. With tensions in the clan high, more fighting was certainly on the horizon.

=== Homefront ===

{{Main|Fourteenth Great Jedi War}}

Clan Plagueis did not have much time to rest after the Zsoldos Incursion. Before they could properly plan or execute a response to the reappearance of Laren, the Dark Council called for their aid. Alongside the rest of the Brotherhood’s clans, Plagueis took the Ascendant Fleet to the Arx System, which was currently under assault by a Collective fleet. Many key facilities around the system were being targeted, but the Dread Lord decided to direct her attention to the ''[[Nesolat]]'', a station being used by the Shadow Academy.

The Ascendant Fleet fought beside forces from the Dark Council, [[Clan Arcona]], Clan Naga Sadow, and [[Clan Odan-Urr]] to gain control of the platform while several boarding parties were dispatched. Notably, even the Dread Lord herself descended to the station’s interior in order to secure the safe evacuation of the Headmaster. The battle was hard fought but the Brotherhood’s forces seemed to have a handle on it. However, it quickly became clear this particular conflict would not be entirely straightforward.

A secondary Collective fleet entered the system while the Deputy Grand Master, now turned traitor, sabotaged the station, causing it to begin breaking apart in atmosphere as its various components detached, seeking safety on the ground. However, with the planetary shield now disrupted and the new Collective forces lending weight to the attack, the battle was quickly migrating down into Eos City. Fortunately, the Dread Lord had achieved her goal and brought the Headmaster back on board the Ascendancy. As she issued new orders to the Clan concerning the new battlefront, not all of them were met with cooperation.

House Tyranus’ Aedile, [[Gaius Julius Caesar]], confronted Dread Lord Ronovi with an admonishment of her methodology and attitude. After it became clear they were at an impasse, Caesar attempted to assassinate Ronovi. The attempt failed miserably and cost Caesar his life, the Dread Lord sparing no mercy as she revelled in the kill. With the Aedlie now dead, the dissent within the Clan remained silent for the rest of the campaign. The Grand Master eventually performed a ritual that bolstered all of the Brotherhood’s forces and allowed them to win the day, causing the Collective to retreat with innumerable losses.

As the Ascendant Fleet began to regroup and prepare for their return, all was not well, however. The fallout of Caesar’s death and Laren’s return manifested in the Dread Lord’s Wrath, [[TuQ'uan Varick]]. Varick stepped down from his position, no longer confident in the Dread Lord’s leadership, after hearing news of Caesar’s death and receiving a message from Laren, his former master. This left two vacancies in the summit and the opportunity for a massive shift in the clan going forward.

After reviewing the options available to her, the Dread Lord promoted the current Hand of Dread, [[Liandry Cataa]] to the position of Dread Lord’s Wrath. This new Proconsul had proven herself loyal in the past and could help to solidify Ronovi’s grasp on the summit. With the Hand of Dread position now vacated, the Dread Lord turned to contacts outside of the Clan, eventually electing [[Shimura Xhedias Keibatsu]], a former member of Clan Naga Sadow, to the role. For House Tyranus’ new Aedile, [[Marcus Armani]] was selected. The summit had been almost entirely transformed in the aftermath of the Great Jedi War, allowing for Plagueis to approach new strategies and challenges without threatening Tavisaen’s rule.

=== The Scourge ===

As Plagueis returned to Aliso in the Aftermath of the Great Jedi War, the Dread Lord began slowly working to consolidate her stranglehold on the Clan. Betrayals like the ones that had just taken place were unacceptable, and so, the Dread Lord and the Dread Lord’s Wrath arranged meetings with many important figures to secure their loyalty. The leaders of various influential factions around Aliso, such as the Saraask'ar, Valneikian Hive, and Hyperdyne Industries had a personal meeting with the Dread Lord’s Wrath where they bargained for influence. These meetings were not simple diplomacy, however, instead serving as a way for the Dread Lord to evaluate and weed out potential threats within her own territory.

The next threat to Plagueis did not come from within, however. In the latter half of 38 ABY, the Aliso system came under a brief, but concentrated attack. Laren Uscot, leading a new force of defectors from the Collective, Severian Principate, and Dark Jedi Brotherhood, invaded the Aliso System. This new enemy called themselves the [[Phantom Assembly]]. The Phantom Assembly had allied themselves with the Oetteo nest of [[starwars:Killik|Killiks]], striking with two prongs against Plagueis. Their approach aided from within by the former Dread Lord’s Wrath, TuQ’uan Varick, the Phantom Assembly’s fleet struck at [[The Circle]] while the Killiks attacked the Valneikian spire on Aliso.

When Plagueis moved to defend both positions as well as to secure the borders of the system against further incursion, a battle broke out. The battle at the Valneikian spire was bloody and hard fought, the Geonosian residents combining their forces with the Plagueian reinforcements to beat back their foe, though not without major losses. However, the Phantom Assembly’s strike against the Circle completely annihilated the structure. The Phantom Assembly’s fleet retreated quickly after dealing a heavy blow to Plagueis’ morale, avoiding an all-out battle against the Ascendant Fleet.

While the battle appeared to be a victory in Plagueis’ favor, the sudden strike at their home and the destruction of the Circle left morale low. Once again, the Dread Lord made sweeping changes to the Plagueian summit, appointing [[Taranae Rhode]] as the new head of House Tyranus and [[Khryso Mallus]] as her Aedile. The Clan began the slow work of recovery, sorting through the wreckage of the Circle and securing the system’s borders more firmly. The Phantom Assembly’s existence now haunted the Dread Lord as she pined for revenge against Uscot.

=== The Myrkr Crusade ===

{{Main|The Myrkr Crusade}}

As 38 ABY passed into 39 ABY, any clues to the whereabouts of the Phantom Assembly remained absent. That is, until a curious piece of intel passed across the Dread Lord’s desk. Information about a mysterious artifact known as the [[Desired One]]. According to the reports they had acquired, the artifact was the Phantom Assembly’s next target. Eager to one-up Uscot, the Dread Lord quickly ordered a campaign to acquire the Desired One before the Phantom Assembly. She deployed Opress and Tyranus to [[starwars:Myrkr|Myrkr]] retrieve the artifact, but upon their arrival, the Ascendant Forces came into contact with Clan Odan-Urr forces already on-site. The rival Clans realized they were competing for the same prize and so began [[The Myrkr Crusade]].

Rather than engaging Odan-Urr in open combat, Plagueis instead inserted key personnel and special forces into the hunt. What resulted were occasional small skirmishes and races to secure clues and footholds in vital locations. A sizable Odanite party was the first to locate the Desired One, avoiding Plagueis’ counter ambush and successfully securing the artifact. Once Plagueis realized the artifact was in the enemy’s hands, they quickly became aggressive. The conflict grew into a battle, several pockets of combat scattered across the planet’s surface.

The battle riled the native [[starwars:Neti|Neti]], causing them to join the battle in an effort to push both Clans out of their home. Odan-Urr, keeping possession of the Desired One, quickly yielded to the Neti’s requests, opting for a rapid retreat and withdrawal from the situation. Plagueis, however, was still unsatisfied. When the Clan’s forces realized the Desired One was out of their reach entirely and their mission had failed, they turned their fury onto the Neti. It eventually became clear, however, that the battle was not worth fighting. With some reluctance, the Plagueian forces chose to withdraw from Myrkr in defeat. Some stray turbolasers exchanged fire as the two fleets retreated from the planet’s orbit, but the battle was already over.

The Dread Lord, now having suffered what felt like two consecutive defeats at the hands of the Phantom Assembly, had reached her limit. She stepped down from her position as Dread Lord, leaving Liandry Cataa as the acting Dread Lord, and left the system to hunt down Uscot and the Phantom Assembly personally. After she had spent the last year tightening her fist, the Dread Lord’s sudden departure caused some chaos and confusion within Plagueis that would herald many changes.

=== Selika’s Return, Ventress, and Escalation ===

{{Main|Rite of Supremacy: Escalation}}

The disorder that followed the Dread Lord’s departure did not have the opportunity to fester long enough to evolve into further conflict. Before a member of the Plagueian elites had time to push their claim on the Dread Throne, another party had muscled their way back into the fold. Selika Roh, former Consul of Clan Plagueis and [[Herald]], had utilized her influence within the Dark Council and [[Shroud Syndicate]] to secure a return to the Dread Throne. She saw Plagueis as having grown weak since her reign due to inter-Clan conflicts and the betrayal of key figures that lead to the rise of the Phantom Assembly. With a desire to restore Plagueis to its former glory, Selika pushed for many changes within the Clan.

One of the first steps the Dread Lord took was a reorganization of the Clan Summit. Liandry was removed from the position of Dread Lord’s Wrath and replaced with [[Alaris Jinn]] in order to avoid any lingering loyalties to the former Dread Lord. In addition, the [[Clan_Plagueis#Overseer|Overseer]] position was abolished and the current Overseer, [[Tahiri Drakon Night-Thorn]], was placed in charge of House Tyranus as Quaestor. Finally, Selika appointed [[Qormus Aquila]] Quaestor of the newly formed House Ventress. The rapid developments within Plagueis’ command structure were met with mixed reactions, but the Clan did not have much time to adapt. Calls for aid from the Severian Principate and [[The_Tenixir_Revenants|Tenixir Revenants]] took priority as Plagueis took part in [[Rite of Supremacy: Escalation]].

During the Rite of Supremacy, Plagueis did not move as a united Clan. Instead, prominent members aligned themselves with various factions within the conflict as individuals. When the dust had settled, Plagueis’ contributions were notable, but they still lagged behind most of the other Clans in influence. Nonetheless, many Plagueis earned their accolades in the conflict and the Rite of Supremacy had successfully cooled much of the tension born from the transition of power. With no major conflicts visible on the horizon, the Clan could begin a smooth adjustment to the new era.

The Dread Lord took advantage of this calm to pursue another avenue of her agenda. Plagueis had made many enemies over the last few years amongst the other Clans, but Selika was eager to reverse that. Rather than seeing the Clans as adversaries, she was hoping to foster some potential goodwill that could pay off further down the road. She began contacting the other Clan heads and opening up diplomatic talks with the primary aim of forming alliances and support pacts. When next Plagueis found themselves backed into a corner, perhaps they would be able to rely on one of the other Clans to back them up. At the very least, it could prevent unnecessary conflict that would weaken Plagueis’ forces. The Dread Lord’s initial prospects were looking positive as a new age of Plagueian cooperation was in the making.

=== Restructuring and Ascension ===

{{Main|Fifteenth Great Jedi War}}

Plagueis as a whole was working outwardly to foster positive relations with other Clans in the Brotherhood, but within Plagueis things were a bit less cooperative. The newly formed House Ventress was proving a force to be reckoned with and House Tyranus was worried they may lose even more of the influence and control they once had. House Ventress had gained control of Battleteam Opress and they clearly weren’t intending to stop their progress any time soon. In an effort to balance the scales, Tyranus began to look into creating a Battleteam of their own.

Working with the Dread Lord, the Tyranus summit began to pull together the required assets to form the new unit. At the core of the Battleteam would be Sinya Ani, a recent defector from Opress who had recently been making a name for herself in the Clan. Battleteam [[Talzin]] came together quickly, quickly positioning themselves as rivals and opposites of Battleteam Opress. Satisfied with the results of their efforts, the Tyranus summit began working on fostering this new Battleteam while Ventress and Opress continued their exceptional upward climb.

After settling the House rivalry for the moment, the Dread Lord and her Wrath became much more elusive around Aliso; the former was rarely seen outside her chambers while the latter seemed entirely absent from Alisoan space. Rumors eventually began to circulate that Alaris had returned to Plagueis’ former homeworld: Jusadih. After he suddenly reappeared in Aliso City, these rumors gained more fervor as Plagueians began to wonder just what it was the Dread Lord’s Wrath had been up to.

For the time being, however, the Wrath’s mission would remain a mystery. Instead, the Clan’s efforts were drawn to the defense of their home. As the events of the [[Fifteenth Great Jedi War]] began, Aliso came under attack by members of [[The Children of Mortis]]. After a massive battle took place, mostly around Aliso City, the invaders were eventually repelled. As the Clan entered a period of recovery, it would once again experience a series of changes to the Summit. The Dread Lord’s Wrath, Alaris Jinn di Plagia, stepped down, as did the current Right Hand of Dread, Khryso Mallus. Qormus Aquila rose to become the new Proconsul of Plagueis, while Nora Olen, the current Aedile of House Ventress, became its new Quaestor. The Quaestorship of House Tyranus briefly fell to [[Raiju Kang]] before being taken up by [[TuQ'uan_Varick|TuQ’uan Varick di Plagia]]. Beyond that, Battleteams Talzin and Opress were also dissolved.

After the War, the Brotherhood as a whole had been left in an even more anxious and divided state. In an effort to find common ground among the Clans and continuing her long-standing directive to foster more positive relationships, the Dread Lord called for a summit on [[starwars:Cantonica|Cantonica]]. The Consuls of most of the Clans made their way to [[starwars:Canto Bight|Canto Bight]] alongside some of their clan members in order to discuss the Brotherhood’s current state.

=== The Canto Bight Accords ===
{{Main|Canto Bight Accords}}

In 40 ABY, [[Selika Roh]] convened a summit of the Brotherhood's Clans on the world of [[starwars:Cantonica|Cantonica]], in the city of [[starwars:Canto Bight|Canto Bight]]. The gathering brought together the Consuls of [[Clan Plagueis]], [[Clan Taldryan]], [[Clan Naga Sadow]], [[Clan Vizsla]], [[Clan Odan-Urr]], and [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to discuss the growing threat posed by the [[Children of Mortis]].

Negotiations between the Clans were tense, with long-standing rivalries and ideological differences threatening to derail the meeting. The summit was violently interrupted when forces aligned with the Children of Mortis launched a coordinated attack on the city, attempting to frame Clan Plagueis for the assault by deploying captured vessels broadcasting Plagueian identification codes.

The assembled Clan leaders ultimately uncovered the deception and repelled the attackers with the aid of their orbiting fleets. In the aftermath of the battle, the Consuls finalized an agreement known as the '''Canto Bight Accords'''. The treaty established a temporary non-aggression pact between the participating Clans and committed them to limited cooperation against the Children of Mortis. As part of the negotiations, Clan Plagueis pledged to abolish state-sponsored slavery within its territory through a gradual transition.

The accords marked one of the rare moments in Brotherhood history where multiple Clans formally agreed to cooperate against a common enemy.

=== Ascending Confederacy ===

In 41 ABY, [[Selika Roh]] began pursuing a broader political and economic strategy intended to strengthen the position of [[Clan Plagueis]] along the frontier bordering the Unknown Regions. While the '''[[Canto Bight Accords]]''' had brought a temporary measure of stability between several Clans of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], the agreement also forced significant internal changes within Plagueis, including the gradual abolition of state-sponsored slavery. The loss of that labor base placed additional strain on the Clan’s industrial capacity while its remote territories remained vulnerable to disruption from raiders and independent pirate groups operating along the edge of explored space. Recognizing that Plagueis could not rely solely on military power or distant allies for long-term stability, Selika began cultivating relationships with nearby frontier governments that had long existed outside the protection of the major galactic powers.

These diplomatic efforts centered on the creation of the [[Confederacy of the Outer Reaches]], a coalition of independent systems aligned with Plagueis for mutual protection and economic cooperation. Many of the worlds Selika approached had spent generations on the margins of galactic politics, receiving little benefit from the governments that once claimed authority over them. In the wake of the collapse of centralized power across much of the galaxy, piracy and raiding had intensified throughout the region, threatening trade and destabilizing local economies. One of the most significant negotiations focused on the world of Hurana, a human colony whose industrial capacity made it an attractive partner for Plagueis. While Hurana’s leadership expressed interest in the proposed confederation, they demanded proof that Plagueis possessed the strength to deal with the pirate forces that had made commerce throughout the sector increasingly dangerous.

Acting on intelligence that revealed the location of a major pirate stronghold known as the Fortress of Kyriseema, Selika ordered a direct military operation to dismantle the organization responsible for the raids. Plagueian forces under the command of Selika, alongside senior commanders including [[Teylas Ramar]] and [[TuQ'uan Varick]], launched a coordinated assault in the Kyriseema system. Ground forces breached the ancient fortress while the Clan fleet secured the surrounding space, preventing the pirates from escaping or receiving reinforcements. After a fierce engagement within the stronghold, the pirate leadership was eliminated and their network dismantled, bringing an end to the raids that had plagued the region. The destruction of the pirate base demonstrated Plagueis’ ability to enforce security across the frontier, convincing Hurana and several other nearby systems to formally join the Confederacy of the Outer Reaches and marking a significant expansion of Plagueian influence along the edge of the Unknown Regions.

=== Conflict on Kenari ===

In 41 ABY, shortly after the signing of the [[Canto Bight Accords]], [[Clan Plagueis]] became embroiled in a localized conflict with [[Clan Taldryan]] over the recovery of valuable Clone Wars–era technology on the remote world of [[starwars:Kenari|Kenari]]. Intelligence gathered through contacts cultivated by [[Selika Roh]] during her tenure on the [[Dark Council]] revealed the existence of the wreck of the Venator-class Star Destroyer ''Covenant'', which had crashed on the planet decades earlier while carrying experimental systems. Among these systems was a prototype Kyber-Hypermatter Reactor, known as the '''Ark Reactor''', a powerful and potentially valuable technological artifact. When the Ascendant Fleet arrived in orbit to begin salvage operations, however, they discovered the Taldryan Republic Navy already present and laying claim to the site.

Despite rising tensions between the two fleets, Selika chose not to openly violate the Accords that had only recently been negotiated between the Clans. Instead, she invited [[Appius Wight]], Supreme Chancellor of the Taldryan Republic, aboard the Plagueian flagship ''Ascendancy'' to negotiate a resolution. The meeting quickly deteriorated into a contest of pride and political maneuvering between the two leaders. Selika ultimately proposed an unconventional solution: a temporary agreement declaring the crash site and surrounding territory outside the jurisdiction of the Accords, allowing members of both Clans to contest the salvage rights directly on the ground. Although Appius initially resisted the proposal, he ultimately accepted the arrangement, transforming the abandoned battlefield around the ''Covenant'' into a sanctioned free-fire zone between the two Clans.

The resulting engagement on Kenari became a chaotic contest of infiltration and skirmishing within the ruined mining complexes and the shattered hull of the crashed starship itself. Both Clans deployed operatives and soldiers into the hazardous environment, navigating collapsed tunnels, unstable walkways, and the rusted remains of the Republic warship while attempting to reach the Ark Reactor before their rivals. Despite fierce resistance from Taldryan forces throughout the canyon and within the wreck of the ''Covenant'', Plagueian operatives ultimately succeeded in securing the Kyber-Hypermatter Reactor system and extracting it from the battlefield. The victory provided Clan Plagueis with a significant technological prize while preserving the fragile political balance created by the Accords, though the confrontation further intensified the rivalry between Plagueis and Taldryan in the years that followed.

=== Sixteenth Great Jedi War ===
{{Main|Sixteenth Great Jedi War}}
[[File:thereturnoffaethor.png|thumb|left|200px|Faethor's Force essence escaping the Ethereal Realm.]]
In 41 ABY, Clan Plagueis joined the rest of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood in the assault on the [[Ethereal Realm]] during the [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]], as the Brotherhood moved to stop the Children of Mortis from breaking the Chain of the Force and reshaping reality itself. After the portals on [[Arx]] were completed and the Brotherhood established a foothold near the reflection of Eos City, Plagueian forces were committed both to the grinding advance across the battlefield and to the defense of the portal that served as the Brotherhood’s only reliable route back to realspace. As the fighting intensified, [[Selika Roh]] accompanied a small strike force consisting of [[Arden Karn]], [[Alaris Jinn]], [[Eiko]], [[Nora Olen]], and a detachment of Death Troopers to investigate a possible flanking route that might have allowed Plagueis to bypass the heaviest resistance and break through toward the Fortress of the Unchained.

Instead, the force was drawn into a reflection of old Ellesmeria and [[Kapsina]], where the distorted remains of Plagueis’ former homeworld had become a trap filled with Force Wraiths and buried memories of the Clan’s past. Their transport was destroyed, Selika was separated from the group, and the rest of the team was forced to fight through the ruins while Alaris encountered the spirit of [[Jonaleth Isradia]], who had spent decades in the Ethereal Realm and had entered into an alliance with [[Faethor]]. Within the echo of the Dark Tower, Selika was captured and briefly possessed by Faethor, who intended to use her body as a vessel by which he could escape the Ethereal Realm and reclaim what he saw as his. While the others fought their way back through the city, Colonel DT-6430 and Selika’s Death Troopers led them toward the tower, with the Colonel ultimately sacrificing himself to buy the others time to reach the throne room.

The confrontation within the tower brought the entire deception into the open. Jonaleth attempted to use Alaris as a source of power to open a path back into the prime realm, while Faethor, inhabiting Selika’s body, sought to force his way through the breach. The Plagueian survivors disrupted the attempt, and although Selika regained control of herself, it became clear that Faethor had at least partially escaped before the portal collapsed. The incident left Plagueis bloodied and further depleted, while their diversion into the reflected ruins of Kapsina thinned their lines at a critical moment in the broader battle. In strategic terms, the Clan’s entanglement in the Ellesmeria reflection removed a substantial portion of its fighting strength from the main advance and bought precious time for the Father’s plans to proceed. Though the Brotherhood ultimately prevented the Children of Mortis from achieving their objective, the campaign left Plagueis not only with the scars of another war against the Children, but with the renewed threat of Faethor’s return hanging over the Clan in its aftermath.

===Aftermath of War===
==== The Axis Tilts ====

In the months following the Sixteenth Great Jedi War, Clan Plagueis found itself adrift. The destruction of the Children of Mortis removed the existential threat that had dominated the Clan’s recent history, but the aftermath of the conflict left the Ascendant Clan without clear direction. [[Selika Roh]] withdrew almost entirely from public life after the campaign in the Ethereal Realm, rarely appearing before the Clan Summit and leaving the day-to-day affairs of the Clan increasingly unattended. At the same time, the disappearance of Proconsul [[Qormus Aquila]] created a vacuum within the leadership structure of Plagueis. With neither the Dread Lord nor her chief lieutenant providing firm guidance, rival factions within the di Plagia and the Houses began maneuvering to secure their influence over the Clan’s future.

This uncertainty allowed [[Nora Olen]] to move quickly, claiming the vacant position of Proconsul before competing factions could organize their own bids for power. Her rise was supported by [[Tahiri Drakon Night-Thorn]], who consolidated her authority within House Ventress while redirecting key supporters away from House Tyranus in an effort to weaken the influence of [[TuQ'uan Varick]]. These maneuvers reshaped the internal political landscape of the Clan, as the Houses increasingly competed for influence while waiting for the absent Dread Lord to reassert control. Beneath these struggles, however, a far more dangerous development was unfolding beyond the borders of Plagueis territory.

During the Brotherhood’s campaign in the Ethereal Realm, the former Grand Master [[Faethor]] had escaped the prison that had held him for decades. Though knowledge of his return was initially confined to a small circle within the Clan’s leadership, the implications were clear. Driven mad by years of isolation within the Ethereal Realm, the founder of Clan Plagueis now sought to reclaim what he believed had been stolen from him—including the Clan itself.

==== Return of the Dread Lord ====

The uncertainty surrounding the leadership of Plagueis intensified when [[Selika Roh]] was located on the former Plagueian throne world of [[Kapsina]] and returned to Aliso. Though the Dread Lord resumed her position at the head of the Clan, her time in the Ethereal Realm appeared to have left lasting scars. Selika became increasingly reclusive, rarely appearing before the Clan’s leadership and conducting much of her rule from behind closed doors within the Pinnacle. At the same time, [[TuQ'uan Varick]] rebuilt his own influence within the Clan by consolidating support among the ranks of House Tyranus.

These developments coincided with the revelation in the upper echelons of Plagueis that Faethor had indeed returned. Intelligence gathered during the search for Selika confirmed that the former Grand Master had begun gathering followers. Despite these growing concerns, Plagueis struggled to respond to the threat. Without a confirmed location for Faethor or a clear enemy to confront, the Clan turned inward. Rivalries between the Houses intensified as each faction attempted to strengthen its position within the Clan’s hierarchy while awaiting the next great conflict.

==== Rivalries of the Ascendant Clan ====

Throughout the remainder of 42 ABY, Clan Plagueis entered an uneasy period of calm. The wars against the Children of Mortis had ended, and the enemies that had once driven the Clan’s expansion appeared to have vanished. Without a clear opponent to challenge, the focus of Plagueian ambition shifted inward once again. Leaders within the Houses competed openly for the favor of the Dread Lord, while the newly appointed Quaestor [[Titius Osseus]] sought to expand his influence within the evolving power structure of the Clan.

The Clan’s military forces likewise struggled to adapt to this lull in conflict. Patrols against pirates and raiders along the borders of the Confederacy of the Outer Reaches provided some outlet for the Clan’s war machine, but such operations lacked the scale and prestige of the wars that had recently defined Plagueian identity. Commanders increasingly turned their competitive energies toward training exercises and tournaments rather than battlefield campaigns.

This apparent calm concealed the growing danger beyond Plagueis territory. In the distant reaches of the galaxy, Faethor continued to gather strength. Drawing together remnants of the First and Final Orders along with other scattered forces, he began assembling a power base in secret, waiting for the moment when Clan Plagueis would be at its weakest.

=== Schisms ===
==== Rise of the Dread Guard ====
[[File:alisocrackdown.png|thumb|right|220px|Dread Guard on the streets of Aliso City.]]
By early 43 ABY, the increasingly reclusive [[Selika Roh]] began implementing a series of measures intended to secure her authority. Convinced that enemies were gathering within the ranks of the Clan itself, she authorized the creation of a new elite security force known as the '''Dread Guard'''. Modeled loosely on the Royal Guards of earlier Sith regimes, these soldiers answered directly to the Consul and operated as both protectors of the throne and agents of internal security.

The deployment of the Dread Guard transformed life on Aliso. Armored patrols began appearing throughout the capital, arresting suspected dissidents and closing businesses accused of sedition. These actions were intended to secure the Clan against hidden enemies, but they instead spread fear among the population and disrupted trade across the Confederacy of the Outer Reaches. Within the Clan Summit, concern began to grow that the Dread Lord’s increasingly heavy-handed rule threatened the stability of the alliance structure Plagueis had spent years building.

As the situation deteriorated, the di Plagia convened in secret to debate whether the Consul’s actions had crossed the line from vigilance into madness. While some remained loyal to Selika, others—led by [[TuQ'uan Varick]]—argued that the Clan itself was now at risk if her rule continued unchecked.

==== The Aliso Insurrection ====

The political crisis within Clan Plagueis erupted into open violence in 43 ABY when forces loyal to TuQ'uan Varick clashed with the Dread Guard in the streets of Aliso City. What began as isolated confrontations quickly escalated into a full-scale struggle for control of the Clan’s capital. Units of the Ascendant Legion fought block by block against the fanatically loyal Dread Guard while battle droids and armored troops battled throughout the military districts of the city.

During the conflict, TuQ'uan succeeded in securing control of the Clan’s battle-droid forces, giving his faction a decisive advantage. Legion units steadily advanced toward the Pinnacle, the towering seat of Plagueian authority that dominated the skyline of Aliso City. After days of brutal street fighting, TuQ'uan’s forces finally stormed the command center near the summit of the structure and secured control of the Clan’s central command systems.

By the time the Pinnacle fell, however, Selika Roh had already escaped. Protected by the remaining Dread Guard, the Dread Lord fled the city and reached the Clan flagship ''Ascendancy'', which departed the system shortly afterward. Though TuQ'uan had effectively forced the Consul into exile, the victory came at a heavy cost. Clan Plagueis emerged from the insurrection deeply divided, with many of Selika’s supporters remaining within its ranks.

==== The Power Vacuum ====

With the Dread Throne suddenly left vacant, Clan Plagueis entered one of the most unstable periods in its history since the fall of Kapsina. [[TuQ'uan Varick]] attempted to stabilize the situation by reorganizing the Clan’s leadership and placing loyalists into key positions, but the divide between supporters of the exiled Dread Lord and those who had backed the insurrection proved difficult to heal. Houses Ventress and Tyranus became centers of competing influence, each faction quietly preparing for the possibility that the conflict might resume.

The internal struggle also weakened the Confederacy of the Outer Reaches that Plagueis had spent years constructing. Trade agreements faltered as allied worlds began distancing themselves from a Clan consumed by internal turmoil. Unknown to most within Plagueis, these developments were not entirely organic. Agents operating from the world of Bastion had begun working systematically to undermine Plagueian influence throughout the Confederacy while the Clan remained focused on its own divisions.

Meanwhile, Selika Roh continued to operate beyond the borders of Plagueis territory. From hidden sanctuaries along the frontier, the exiled Dread Lord began gathering loyalists and preparing for the next stage of her plans.

==== Shadow of the Dread Throne ====

By 44 ABY, the absence of Selika Roh from the throne had done little to diminish her influence. Rumors spread throughout Aliso that loyalists of the former Consul remained embedded within the Clan’s bureaucracy, quietly obstructing decrees and diverting resources to unknown ends. Whether these acts were coordinated by Selika herself or simply the lingering echoes of her rule remained unclear.

For [[TuQ'uan Varick]], consolidating power proved far more difficult than seizing it had been. Without the ritual authority of the Dread Throne behind him, his leadership remained fragile. Attempts to reorganize the Clan’s institutions and security forces were viewed with suspicion by many within the Summit, who feared that such measures might simply replace Selika’s authoritarian rule with a different form of centralized control.

As the divisions within Clan Plagueis deepened, unseen enemies beyond its borders continued to maneuver. The instability within the Ascendant Clan had created an opportunity, and forces already working in secret against Plagueis were preparing to exploit it.

'''Clan Plagueis''' is one of four Dark Jedi [[Clan]]s with the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. It has two subordinate [[House]]s in the form of [[Ajunta Pall|House Ajunta Pall]] and [[Karness Muur|House Karness Muur]], units newly formed upon Plagueis's return to Clan status in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|31 ABY]]. Plagueis existed as an independent House between [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|27 ABY]] and 31 ABY when, along with [[Taldryan]], it was elevated back to Clanhood.

== History ==
=== Unification ===
:''Main article: [[Dictum of Two Skies]]
''
In the year [[10 ABY to 19 ABY|17 ABY]], [[Clan Satal Keto|'''Clan''' Satal Keto]] was attacked by the vicious pirate group known as the [[Crimson Tide]]. The '''Clan''' was already weak from recent wars and conflicts, and they simply could not withstand an attack of the size and nature that the Tide brought. '''Clan''' Satal Keto fought and fought, however even with the Force on their side, the pirates were slowly starting to win after four days of fighting. Consul Selket, not wanting to accept his fate, called for assistance from [[Clan Exar Kun|'''Clan''' Exar Kun]], Satal Keto’s sister '''clan'''.

The Kunians, despite sub-standard relations with the Ketoans, came to aid the dying '''clan'''. After another three days of intense and valiant combat, the severely injured Crimson Tide was forced to retreat.

The battle brutally wounded both clans. The Clans of Exar Kun and Satal Keto were in shambles. They went to the [[Dark Council]] for help, and the [[Star Chamber]] visited and assessed the two clans in their entirety, and concluded that the two clans should be merged into one if they were to survive.

Thus, the [[Dictum of Two Skies]] was carried out. New members came to the field, and for a month Jedi fought Jedi in battle for supremacy, and when the dust finally fell, a new band stood together, united by victory and strength, their weaknesses purged and cleansed in a trial by fire. From the ashes of two Clans arose a new one: Plagueis, a new life born of death. Then the Dictum was released, and as their final act, the Elders of the Star Chamber worked a great feat of Force magic - grasping the skeins of reality itself, they wove together the twin fates of Exar Kun and Satal Keto, and merged their powers into one.

The shockwaves of the Star Chambers actions, however, continued to ripple out through the Force, and unknown to all, a forgotten Sith Lord stirred in the embrace of the Dark Side. On the distant tomb planet of Korriban, Darth Plagueis arose from death in the shape of a grim wraith of Shadow and Dust, and called out to those whom had taken on his name.

=== End of Acarr ===
:''Main article: [[Battle of Byfrost]]
''
The newly formed '''clan''' settled in the [[Acarr System]], the former home of [[Clan Exar Kun|'''Clan''' Exar Kun]]. As the Force would have it, however, after only a few months did trouble began to manifest itself. The [[Star Chamber]]’s amazing feat had twisted reality more than so perceived. Acarr’s sun, Sigil, which had already been dangerously unstable, was shifted out of balance and was rapidly approaching supernova status, increasing its radiation levels by the hour.

Doom was imminent, but the Plagueians had time to act due to the sharp sense of the clan's Elders who had discovered the problem. Moving as fast as mortally possible, the '''Clan''' organized and mobilized, beginning to flee the Acarr System. It was in this moment that the [[Crimson Tide]] returned, intent on destroying the band of Dark Jedi whom had nearly destroyed their entire fleet. [[Calliban Crimson]] launched a full attack on the evacuating '''Clan''' Plagueis. The '''Clan''' fought valiantly, and was able to hold back the pirate forces until the evacuation was complete. Then, in a final act of malign vengeance, [[Aristan Dantes|Sarin]], [[Kir Taldrya Katarn|Kir Katarn]], [[Jonaleth Isradia]], and the most powerful of the clan's members blockaded the system, trapping nearly all of the mercenaries inside, where they were killed by the intense radiation.

=== Jusadih ===
[[File:Kapsina.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Kapsina was Plagueis' HQ in the Jusadih System]]
With the Crimson Tide severely crippled, '''Clan''' Plagueis relocated into the [[Jusadih System]], designated by the '''Clan''' Summit. [[House Exar Kun]] settled on the planet [[Aerun]], with its counterpart, [[House Satal Keto|Satal Keto]], moving to the icy world of [[Morroth]]. Construction on the Clan’s headquarters, the [[Dark Tower]], began immediately on the world of [[Sigil 1|Kapsina]], where the '''clan''' leaders and [[Council of the Wise]] were to reside. As the Plagueian [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] established their dominance in Jusadih, they took a local business, [[Sistros Acquisitions and Holdings]] as a cover front and to provide a steady flow of credits to the fledgling '''clan'''. By early-[[20 ABY to 29 ABY|20 ABY]], the '''clan''' has finished construction on all aspects on their new home, and started to work on improving other aspects of the '''clan'''.

=== Civil War ===
:''Main article: [[Seventh Great Jedi War]]
''
The peace did not last for long, however, as only two years after the formation of '''Clan''' Plagueis the entire Brotherhood erupted into civil war. What started with minor disputes among the clans quickly escalated into something much more. When a second [[Jac Cotelin]] appeared on Antei, things turned to war, and the clans split apart as each sided with the Jac that they considered to be the real one. Plagueis, specifically, joined the side of what was called the ''Red Jac''.

For weeks the clans fought each other to see who would come out on top, and specifically which Jac would come out above the other. However, '''Clan''' Plagueis was still just over two years old, and was still working to rebuild from its previous two encounters with the [[Crimson Tide]]. As such, it was weakened further from fighting with the much older and stronger clans against it, and was forced to hang out as long as possible and save as much of the fleet as they could.

=== Assault on Diadem ===
:''Main article: [[Assault on Diadem]]
''
When the war finally started to die down and the true Jac claimed victory over the imposter, '''Clan''' Plagueis returned to the [[Jusadih System]] to lick its wounds. Yet, the war was not over for the Plagueians, for just as they returned a group of Aerunian rebels, known respectively as ARM (Aerunian Resistance Movement), attacked [[Diadem Fortress]] on [[Aerun]], home of [[House Exar Kun]].

Using a treacherous Novice to cut off the power to the defenses, the Aerunians blasted their way into the fortress and started destroying as much as possible. It is unknown exactly what they were trying to do, save for thinking they could actually kill all the Kunians with their small army. Once the traitor was killed and the power brought back online, though, the Aerunians' advantage collapsed.

Despite having several Rogue Dark Jedi on their side, the Kunians were able to fight off the ambush, but Diadem was greatly damaged, and would not be completely repaired for another six months, although with much better defenses.

=== Rite of Supremacy ===
:''Main article: [[Second Darkness]]
''
After the Sixth Great Jedi War, '''Clan''' Plagueis entered a brief, yet useful, time of peace, where little conflict-wise happened, and the still young '''clan''' was allowed to grow and improve its infrastructure. Despite problems in leadership, the '''clan''' improved greatly during this time, and has continued to grow to this day, although not without being interrupted by war.

Specifically, at the beginning of [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|20 ABY]], the Brotherhood had a Rite of Supremacy between the six clans to determine which would have the privelage of guarding the Dark Shroud, and being named First '''Clan'''. Much stronger now, Plagueis fought valiantly, and while they didn't win, they were awarded the title Third '''Clan'''.

=== Eighth Great Jedi War ===
:''Main article: [[Eighth Great Jedi War]] and Invasion of Jusadih''
After the Rite of Supremacy, Plagueis took pride as Grand Master [[Sarin]] called for an awards ceremony on [[Antei]]. Things would not go as planned. As soon as the ceremony concluded, a fleet of epic proportions dropped outside of the Antei system from hyperspace. The Dark Brotherhood had no option but to retreat into [[The Shroud]]. '''Clan''' Plagueis was assigned to the rearguard. While fighting from within the dark cloud looming over Antei, old tensions broke out between the clans, who were already on-edge.
[[File:MassiveFleet2.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Part of the enemy fleet in orbit of Antei.]]
Plagueis, whose fleet was crippled as a result of the week long conflict, tried its best to stay out of the civil battle within the much larger one. Meanwhile, as the Brotherhood fell to its knees at its home planet, the Jusadih system was also invaded by the powerful aliens. Warrior Dismal and Archpriest Scorpius oversaw the resistance effort on Aerun, and performed valiantly for as long as they could before Diadem Fortress, and virtually all of Aerun was destroyed by the might of the invaders. Dismal and Scorpius had almost escaped the carnage in a lone TIE Phantom, but ultimately ended up prisoner on board the alien mothership for three days.

Miraculously, the two Equites were rescued by a recovery team of Archpriest Anochiir Isradia, Knight Galaphile, and Knight [[Jaden Kyrath]], who had stayed in Jusadih for unknown reasons themselves. As the search party returned to Kapsina, '''Clan''' Plagueis tried to flee the bloodbath at Antei. Almost simultaneously, Grand Master Sarin returned from the Roche asteroid belt, accompanied by six brand-new Nebula-class Star Destroyers. Immediately, he executed the [[Braata Option]], which was a complete evacuation of Antei.

At the Jusadih system, the invasion force was forced to retreat by the Supreme Commander for taking too long. '''Clan''' Plagueis soon arrived, and after a much needed rest, started the monumental task of rebuilding their home.

=== Jusadih Civil War ===
:''Main article: [[War of Ascension]]
''
Aabsdu's loyalty to the [[Iron Throne]] was finally rewarded when he was given charge of the [[Shadow Academy]] as its [[Headmaster]] leaving a void in the Consular position of the '''Clan'''. This void was filled with a powerful presence in [[Braecen Kaeth]], the first [[Proconsul]] of Plagueis. He began a restructuring of the mechanics and make-up of the '''Clan''' almost immediately, appointing Alex d'Tana to the position of [[Quaestor]] of [[House Satal Keto]] and [[Yzarc Rellik Kaeth]] as his Proconsul.

His new view for Jusadih was that of the Military. He, alongside his new protege, [[Alaris Jinn]] and the rest of the '''Clan''', demolished the Feudal System in place and created the new Military Dictatorship in its place. The civilians of Jusadih were granted the ability to elect their officials with the Consul as the Head of State and the Proconsul as the Head of Government. The Feudal Lords despised this move and formed the Jusadih Independence Coalition and allied themselves with the [[Crimson Tide]].

The ensuing war strengthened the '''Clan''' and the military and it brought around the death of [[Calliban Crimson]] and the Crimson Tide.

=== Ninth Great Jedi War ===
:''Main article: [[Ninth Great Jedi War]]
''
After a strong and persuasive encounter with the Grand Master [[Aristan Dantes|Sarin]], [[Braecen Kaeth]] led the fleet of '''Clan''' Plagueis into the shroud, accompanied by the other clans. Both Braecen Kaeth and his Proconsul, [[Alaris Jinn]] showed depth of wisdom and integrity in the presence of powerful officers and influential Dark Jedi. The proposition of such a risky maneuver by the Brotherhood was seen by many as a suicide; however, Plagueis’ depth and proficiency enlightened the members of the Brotherhood as a collective to the larger picture. They entered the shroud to retake the [[Antei]] system from the invading aliens' control and regain the [[Iron Throne]].

Alaris Jinn’s new position as Lieutenant Supreme Commander accommodated him well as he traversed the majority of the shroud successfully, albeit in an atmosphere of defiance. This was the case until 36 hours prior to reaching the Antei system, The Victory II-Class Star Destroyer ''[[VSDII Ballista|Ballista]]'' was being fast approached by an alien frigate and fighter squadron. However, more worrying to the crew was the ease of the destruction of these fighters by the fleet’s VSD-II cannons. Although to no cost on the fleet’s behalf, this brief encounter only framed what was on the horizon for the Plagueians. Eludajae and Impetus M’Nar were ordered to precede the shroud and take their findings to the [[Grand Master]] and Admiral Malin. Taking control of the Silent Scream, they shot off from the fleet. After such an anti-climatic rendezvous with the fighters, suspicions within the '''Clan''' were high as to the necessity of this mission inasmuch as the already encountered aliens were essentially deceased.
[[File:Alaris-custom1.jpg|thumb|175px|left|Dark Jedi Alaris Jinn.]]

Upon the beachhead, the '''Clan''' gathered slowly, preparing for the imminent forthcoming battle. Denath’s interruption in the command centre had made Operation Spider grow and the attack order was launched. [[Callus Bo'Amar|Callus’]] [[starwars:AT-AT|AT-AT]] troop squadron mobilised, along with [[Sanguinius Tsucyra|Sanguinius’]] TIE fighter Red Sqaudron, and were tasked with providing support to the dropships and inhibiting the droid advance on the Dark Jedi positions. [[Kaira Rohana]], along with an injured [[Koga Kage]] also joined the frontline to suppress the droid presence; meanwhile, [[Vivackus Kavon]], [[Kal Vorrac]] and [[Mograine]] were tasked with eliminating the Jedi Communications array nearby. With a reinforced line, Callus’ remaining troop, accompanied now by [[Jaysun Adumarii]], were able to thin the ranks of the prevalent Droid battalion. A fierce battle raged in the Jedi Communication Array as Kal Vorrac, Vivackus Kavon and Mograine battled a Magnaguard and Aelema Noth, a Jedi Knight, both guarding the Jedi encampment.

The demise of the guards was short-lived as [[Tarentum|'''Clan''' Tarentum]] had seemingly become hostile toward '''Clan''' Plagueis. At this point, things began to look as if they were falling apart for Plagueis, as The Victory II-Class Star Destroyer ''[[VSDII Instigator|Instigator]]'' had been seriously hit, and the ground forces were being overwhelmed by the Tarantae and Droid battalions. [[Cethgus Kuga]] took it upon himself to move the damaged VSD-II ''Instigator'' closer to the atmosphere of the planet, enabling for quick retreat or extraction, much like Alaris had ordered. After the suppression of the Tarantae hostiles and the last of the Droids drifting north, the injured group Kaira Rohana, Koga Kage and Denath were joined, and aided, by Callus and Jaysun Adumarii, as the overwhelming droid army was mown down in a shower of sparks and molten metal. Jaysun and Callus had come to the rescue of Kaira, Koga and Denath, all three pockmarked with the wounds of battle. During the time the party of rescuers and injured, along with a handful of the 41st battalion were extracted, Vivackus Kavon, Kal Vorrac and Alaris Jinn were closing down on a strong beacon of force energy. This dense energy signal led them into vicious battle with the still-strong droid army, and knowing full well a Jedi threat lay within one of the control centres. In the intervening time, The ''Instigator’s'' position acted more to its detriment as the entire fleet was bombarded with a meteor shower. The already ailed ship took another substantial beating; the ensuing cost to the Plagueian fleet was a reduced force upon the ship and Cethgus’ fatal wounds.

Jaek, Mograine, Kal and Vivackus were threatened once more with the onslaught of droid waves closing their position, as they manoeuvred their way to the control bunker. The group, although covered by an AT-AT’s suppressive fire, were hit tremendously hard, Kal suffering substantial injuries in the battle. The AT-AT’s support finally paid dividends as the group led by the [[House Satal Keto]] Quaestor, Vivackus Kavon entered the control bunker, battle scarred and fatigued. In the Briefing Kal had asserted the significance of the control centre he currently occupied; Denath, rested, somewhat healed but still significantly drained, headed to aid the Quaestor’s group in the droid command centre, along with Eludajae, Impetus, [[Yzarc Rellik Kaeth|Yzarc]], Koga, Ralph, Jaysun and Jaek. As the battled waged heavily in the fortified control bunker, with Impetus and Eludajae fighting off hordes of droids from the doorway to the misfortune of the situation with Attack Group Two, Sanguinius – now a pilot Ace – patrolled the skies with his depleted Red Squadron and the newly emerged Gold Squadron containing Octavia Kuga, reinforcing Operation Gundark.

As situations deteriorated swiftly within the bunker, similar circumstances were emerging in the space above. The ''Instigator'' was heavily damaged and recording substantial losses; its protection was in the hands of ''[[ISDII The Baron|The Baron]]''. Koga Kage’s captivity in the Jedi was short-lived; however, the consequences were far more serious, his release sparked him to push his way back to the control base on the beachhead, attempting to exact revenge on past traumas. Upon killing two Journeymen, Koga’s rage was fully inflicted onto Kaira Rohana for his mental scars; however, the Proconsul, Alaris Jinn was hot on his heels. For Koga, the battle had changed from a war in which he was participating to one within himself; however, his destructive path was soon ended by a swift move delivered on behalf of the Proconsul. Back in the bunker, Kal incurred yet more injuries as his apprentice, wounded and exhausted, struck down the Jedi opponent. Operation Gundark, and more importantly, '''Clan''' Plagueis, had hit a dead end, physically and emotionally. The entire strike team of the Dark Jedi, worn and mutilated, Kal more than most, managed to defeat the droid and Jedi threat, with Mograine and Ralph, carrying Kal, reached extraction. The control bunkers destruction then ensued, with the remaining Dark Jedi boarding an evacuation vessel, watching the droid forces deactivate, and Vulture droids pirouetting lifelessly from the sky. The decision to resuscitate Kal Vorrac was a hard one to make for the Summit of the '''Clan'''; however, deep down, the choice had already been made.

Operation Bloodfin raged in the skies over the Temple Bellseph as Alaris overlooked. The decision to retreat into the temple was not made lightly. Defending the temple, Yzarc and Alaris acted as a barrier to provide cover for the Journeymen to run in, the two [[Di Plagia|di Plagia]] working as one to prevent the focused onslaught. The battle ensued outside as the eclectic mix of Dark Jedi, including Sanguinius, injured in a fighter crash, [[Inarya]] and [[Anubis Annedu]] poured into the temple. The battle continued to thunder above, as Octavia fought as part of the Gold Squadron against the droid threat, empowered by seeing Sanguinius crash. The distress signal from within the temple was picked up by the battered ''Instigator'' and Cassandra Elsin responded with a small strike force. Below, after a brief rest and regeneration period for those barricaded inside, the droid forces broke through the defences of the temple unleashing a hail of blaster beams; a prism of colours emanated in the dark temple hall as the Dark Jedi, led by Alaris, formed a deflective barrier against the oncoming droids. A mix of telekinesis and lightsaber proficiency provided the injured and inadequate with enough time to remove themselves from the line of battle as the diverse orders of Krath, Obelisk and Sith united as one against the common enemy. The defensive line began to move back as they used the force to reunite the doors. Outside Callus and his small strike force were too late, as the doors shut for the first time; it was their duty to repel the unrelenting bombardment of the droids front line and protect the integrity of '''Clan''' Plagueis.

Back at the '''Clan''' Plagueis base of operations, the beachhead, Cassandra took her initiative to lead a regiment and three AT-AT walkers to relieve the pressures outside the temple. Within the temple, Mograine and the other Journeymen pushed into the higher levels, only to see the droids attempting to enter from the roof. The Temple on Antei was a sacred place, so for such a historical and necessary knowledge bank to come under threat would be a great loss to the Brotherhood as a collective. Mograine, and his new found counterpart, an Acolyte, took up defensive positions within the middle room of the fourth floor hurling strong and repulsive attacks against their attackers. Five hours into the siege Mograine, having lost his counterparts in the valour of battle and having dampened the attack on the roof, sat in the basement with Alaris, both of which were fatigued and worn down by the epic scale of the war raging around them. Joining the Proconsul and the Journeyman were Anubis Annedu and Sanguinius Tsucyra. With the morale low down in the basement, both the Dark Jedi and the ensign soldiers saw no future. Eludajae, Impetus, Vivackus Kavon, Denath, Jaek, Jaysun and Yzarc were also trapped in the underground tomb. The echoing thud became evermore clear as the droids encroached on their position.
[[File:ATATJabim_edited.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Heavy vehicles in battle with the alien enemies.]]

Meanwhile, Callus, having lost his strike force, was met by the regiment [[Cassandra El'sin]] was heading, and followed suit to change his fate, utilizing gung-ho tactics, as opposed to the guerrilla warfare he had used only hours prior to subdue the enemy. The call to help from Callus to relieve the pressure in the air was met by Octavia’s Gold Squadron who made easy work of the Vulture droids attacking Cassandra’s AT-AT vehicles. The aura of pride was palpable in the basement as the Dark Jedi formations readied themselves for conflict. The following battle became a confused mesh of sabers and blaster bolts flashing and screaming past, inches from their allies and adversaries. The last stand had begun. Back at the base camp Koga had risen from the drug-induced coma, feeling deep remorse for his actions, described to him by the most inanimate of beings – a medical droid. Their connection; however, was not destroyed by the previous circumstances, in truth, they were reinforced. Cassandra, upon arriving at the temple, did not hesitate to start slicing into the rear of the droid flanks, accompanied by her Iron Throne guards and skirmishers. Above, Gold Squadron’s Octavia pockmarked the sea of ominous metal with thick plumes of orange tinges and small grey mushroom clouds. Slowly the reinforcements began to carve into the droid defences, weakening them with every slash, every shot and every explosion; Cassandra, now accompanied by Callus, pierced into the frontline defences, who focused more on the AT-AT walkers – one of the main factors contributing to their disadvantage.

As the battle for existence raged below Cassandra and Callus’ feet, Alaris Jinn, along with the remainder of his fellow Dark Jedi became more and more aware of how necessary reinforcements were in these closing minutes. Fatigue overwhelmed the eclectic selection of battling Dark Jedi. Just as all hope was being lost, an explosion followed by the emergence of the two Dark Jedi and the Iron Throne troopers who systematically tore through the ranks of the droids, saving the lives of their peers. The Dark Jedi filtered their own ways, Cassandra and Sanguinius beckoned by the Rollmaster Cethgus, Vivackus tending to the needs of his apprentice, Alaris reporting back to Braecen; however, their bond, had grown stronger than ever. Braecen's lips blossomed into a tell-tale Corellian smirk. He was not sure what the future would hold for '''Clan''' Plagueis, but he knew he would enjoy watching them succeed as a unified '''clan''' under the steady hand of the Iron Throne.

=== Insurrection ===
Immediately following victory at Antei, most of the Dark Jedi of '''Clan''' Plagueis returned to the [[Jusadih System]], as per the orders of Consul [[Braecen Kaeth]]. Braecen himself did not follow. He was ordered to remain on Antei for the time being where the new Grand Master, [[Muz Ashen]] could keep tabs on him. This left Proconsul [[Alaris Jinn di Plagia]] in command giving Jinn the opportunity he needed to continue his ascension to the Plagueian Throne. He began to make sweeping changes to the military outlook of '''Clan''' Plagueis.

Finally, after four months without Braecen, Alaris made the most overt move for power by attacking and capturing [[Cethgus Kuga]] with the assistance of [[Arion Sunrider]]. Jinn declared himself [[Consul]] which immediately caused a rift between the two Houses of '''Clan''' Plagueis. [[House Satal Keto]], more specifically [[Vivackus Kavon]] and [[Kal Vorrac]], were loyal to Alaris, who had once led the House himself. [[House Exar Kun]] was, at the time, under the command of Quaestor [[Yzarc Rellik Kaeth]], a member of the [[Kaeth]] dynasty and therefore loyal to Braecen.

Jinn sent the prisoner, Kuga, to [[Morroth]] to be handled personally by Kavon. Yzarc knew this would be the case, and expected Jinn to be there with them. House Exar Kun began a full sweeping attack of Satal Keto's holdings, eventually capturing the Quaestor, Kavon. At this point, Vivackus Kavon revealed that Braecen had contacted him months before and demanded his fealty. Kavon had given it to him, and it had been requested of him that he act as if he had aligned himself with Jinn, in an attempt to draw the would-be Consul out of his secrecy and declare open war against the Kaeth dynasty.

All chaos broke out. Houses no longer mattered. Dark Jedi were choosing which Consul to follow, Braecen or Alaris. The fighting moved to [[Kapsina]], where those loyal to Alaris attempted to defend him, while those loyal to Braecen were trying to kill Alaris. When the fighting finally broke into the Throne Room at the apex of the Dark Tower on Kapsina, Alaris was already defending himself.

Braecen had arrived back from Antei and was overpowering Jinn. This was until Arion once again stepped into the fight. The battle fell behind the elevated throne and into the office of the Consul of '''Clan''' Plagueis. Braecen did not return from that fight, only Alaris and Arion. Alaris declared himself Consul, undisputed, and he appointed Arion as his Proconsul.

=== The Debacle at Salas V ===
{{Main|Spoils of War}}
Plagueis was a [[Clan]] largely unprepared for the [[Spoils of War|Battle of Salas V]]. Since the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|Unification]] and subsequent Insurrection of [[Alaris Jinn di Plagia]], unrest in the [[House Summit|Summits]] of [[House Exar Kun]] and [[House Satal Keto]] had plagued the [[Jusadih System]]. Thus, the Clan was largely unprepared for the eradication of the planet's native [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] hives and incurred heavy losses. When the other Clans on the planet turned on one another, Plagueis was forced into many hasty retreats and strategic withdrawals. Before the conflict had even ended, the sudden and vicious attack from the other Clans had crippled the Plagueian war effort and forced them off of the planet.

Recovering back to his home system of [[Jusadih System|Jusadih]], [[Consul]] Alaris turned to his [[Proconsul]] [[Vivackus Kavon|Vivackus Kavon di Plagia]] and long-time Quaestor of Satal Keto [[Kal Vorrac|Kal di Plagia Vorrac]] for advice and stratagem of how to survive. While Kavon and Jinn held down the political aspects of administering, it was Vorrac who worked with his own [[House]] and Exar Kun to maintain stability. Meanwhile, Vorrac exercised the influence he'd gained in advisory capacity on Alaris to position Jusadih's Stratocratic government and Military to better protect the weakened system. It was then that Vorrac extended his influence throughout the networks of that Military in secret, coercing and persuading many into becoming his agents.

=== Reform ===
Clan Plagueis and the Jusadih System, though better consolidated and stable, were still met with considerable fractures from the internal Houses of Exar Kun and Satal Keto. The efforts to instigate new training methods, spearheaded by Quaestor Vorrac, were met with opposition by the leadership of Exar Kun. Old policies and inefficient divisions of power left the House floundering, no longer growing weaker but unable to grow strong.

It was this condition, along with similar losses from [[Salas V]] amongst every Clan in the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]], that led to the [[Iron Throne]] consolidating the great Clans into Houses. Exar Kun and Satal Keto were merged under one name, one identity, and one set of leaders as House Plagueis. It was under this new structure that Alaris Jinn di Plagia became the first Quaestor of Plagueis, Vivackus his first Aedile under the new structure. It was a system that would not last long.

=== New Management ===
Alaris' vision for Clan Plagueis had been a strong one, but the squabbling and indecision of the Clan had long since taken the wind from his sails. Seeing his Proconsul Vivackus, along with Vivackus' former Master Kal, moving to consolidate power only strengthened his decision. Before a coup, power grab, or assassination attempt could weaken Plagueis further, Alaris made the wise decision to step aside as Quaestor.

It was in this void that Vivackus struck out for power, moving to take the natural place of Ascension. It was then that he was encountered by Vorrac and his Military allies, many promised power or better position within Jusadih's ranks. Thus, when entering the Throne Room, a display of armed Dark Jedi and military assets aimed at the lone Kavon persuaded him to nod in assent as his Master took the throne. Thus began the reign of Supreme Commander Kal Vorrac, and the reorganization of the Military into the [[Jusadih Military Regime]].

It would not be long, though, before the Dark Jedi of Plagueis would be tested again.

=== Disorder ===
{{Main|Disorder}}

House Plagueis, like all the other factions of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, was torn apart by the conflict between the former Orders. Krath were pitted against Obelisk, Sith against Krath. The entire Brotherhood erupted in conflict that transcended House and Council bonds. Plageuis' own leadership was swept up in the unfolding drama, and infighting was rampant, leading to the entire House weakening considerably.

Following the victory of the Obelisk over the other orders, Tra'an Reith di Plagia managed to reunite the fledgling factions of House Plagueis with animosity toward the Iron Throne. Tra'an blamed the Iron Throne for all of their troubles, and was essentially uniting the forces of House Plagueis with their discord and polarization against the Iron Throne. Tra'an secured the power of the House, and began leading it back towards its former glory.

=== Invasion ===
{{Main|Tenth Great Jedi War}}

As has happened many times in the Brotherhood's history, the Dark Lord of the Sith and Grand Master of the Brotherhood, [[Muz Ashen]]. decided (with the persuasion of the Dark Council and other influential leaders) it was time to strike a blow to the growing threat of the Jedi. A plan was devised to attack New Tython, the homeworld of [[Clan Odan-Urr]], and to decimate the Jedi and their growing number of allies and sympathizers. The plans were devised by the Consul's and the Dark Council, and the order to attack was eventually given.
[[File:TieFighters.JPG|thumb|195px|right|Plagueian fighters lining up for an assault against the forces of Odan-Urr.]]

Plagueis, however, suffered during this period. The apparent disappearance of the leaders of Plagueis left their forces in disarray. Tra'an Reith di Plagia, along with Ronovi, took power while the opportunity was ripe. Plagueis forces saw action on New Tython in various engagements, though their contribution did nothing to sway the battle in any major way. However, the Ascendant Legion had proven it was a ferocious fighting machine and worthy of the respect of the rest of the Brotherhood. It was during this Tenth Great Jedi War that the Ascendant Legion would begin its quick journey to a reputation of deadly ferocity and combat excellence.

Following the War's conclusion, there was much more to come for Plagueis.

=== Orian Incursion ===
{{Main|Orian Incursion}}

The "Summer Invasion" was a plan devised by a fragile alliance consisting of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] and Plagueis to lay waste to [[Clan Naga Sadow]]'s holdings. Their goal was to prove their capability and ruthlessness to the Dark Council, and to prove that, as individual Clan's, they could stand as equals among the other Clans of the Brotherhood.

Initially the alliance was a devastating, if fragile force. Naga Sadow was no match for the combined military might and experience of the Ascendant Legion and the Palatinae military. Victory after victory allowed the alliance to keep momentum in their favour, forcing the Sadowans into continuous retreats deeper into their holdings. However, unknown to Clan Plagueis and its leadership, Scholae Palatinae was using Plagueis simply as a resource to achieve their own ends, throwing them deep into battle with Sadowan forces, and in turn weakening both enemies so they were ripe for the taking.

An order, so named "Order 66" similar to that which was issued at the end of the [[starwars:Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]], was issued by Palatinae forces. Plagueis was betrayed and their forces were decimated, forcing them to retreat from the battle. Plagueis was hardest hit during this failed operation, though their former allies also had a bloody nose. Their initial foe, the Sadowans, were never fully defeated and thus lived another day.

=== Horizons ===
{{Main|Horizons}}

The ambitions of a former Sith Lord, Zoraan, to take the Iron Throne by force was preceded by a deadly plague. Clan Plagueis was the first organization effected within the Brotherhood, though the [[Shadow Academy]] and other Clans were effected as well. Primarily infecting Journeymen, the plague specifically targeted Force sensitive beings, first increasing their powers, and then gradual sapping the life force of the individual until a long-winded death overcame them.

Madness swept the Brotherhood due to the plague. Rampant acts of extreme violence, even for Dark Jedi and Sith, were being reported from all infected quarters. From this chaos Zoraan eventually struck, fighting for supremacy across Brotherhood territory, hoping that the weakened ranks of Force sensitives among the Houses and Clans would be enough for him to take control of the Iron Throne.

To the rest of the Brotherhood, Plagueis seemed to have disappeared. However, the Force had guided Plagueis to the [[starwars:Stygian_Caldera|Stygian Caldera]]. There, they found an ancient, derelict space station. Licking its wounds, Plagueis decided to explore the station, and eventually, make it their new base of operations. This would come to be known as [[The Anchorage]].

=== Dark Crusade ===
{{Main|Dark Crusade}}

Though still recovering from their near annihilation at the Battle of Jusadih, the forces of House Plagueis joined with those of the other clans and houses in their combined assault on the SSD Avenger II. As they still wished to remain dead to the rest of the Brotherhood, Plagueian units appeared as agents of the Iron Throne, their true allegiances hidden. Two main teams participated in the assault: one led by Quaestor Tra'an Reith and Aedile Solus Gar, the other headed up by Arden Karn. Both teams managed to make successful landings, but were ultimately stymied in their advances by overwhelming enemy opposition. A team made up primarily of forces from Naga Sadow broke through first and ended up taking the fight to the ship's bridge. The Plagueians were left to fend off wave after wave of enemy reinforcements, keeping the way clear for the Sadowans.

Though some in Plagueis viewed their valiant fight a small victory, in the eyes of Tra'an, it was an abject failure. It was a lost opportunity to prove their worth to the Brotherhood. The fact that they had been shown up by Sadowans was also not lost on the Plagueians. Tra'an vowed that it would be the last time Naga Sadow would humiliate Plagueism, and he would avenge their past transgressions. It would not be long before his chance came.

The attack from Archibald Zoraan leading into the Horizons Crisis sent the Brotherhood reeling, and when the Iron Throne called for retribution and issued a campaign order to seize the Sith Worlds, Tra'an saw it as a chance to bring Plagueis back into the fold. Its military might now rebuilt after their raid on Ord Pardron, the Ascendant House set out for Nfolgai. The Sadowans were there as well, much to Tra'an's delight. In a brazen show of force, the Dread Lord drove his ships straight at the Sadowan fleet and revealed Plagueis to the Brotherhood at large as a force to be reckoned with.

=== Fading Light ===

{{Main|Fading Light}}

Following the Dark Crusade, One Sith Forces occupied a number of key planets. The entire Dark Brotherhood, including Clan Plagueis, united against the Sith Lord Darth [[Esoteric]] and his [[One Sith]] followers. In particular, various members of the Clan alongside their unlikely allies fought to retrieve valuable artifacts that would aid the Dark Brotherhood in its war against the pretending One Sith. They even went so far as to lay siege to Esoteric's stronghold on [[Nicht Ka]], though Esoteric could not be harmed during the battle.

Though the artifacts retrieved on the various worlds were valuable in and of themselves, the Brotherhood found that the war with the One Sith would rage on for quite some time. Clan Plagueis, therefore, had to discover various other means to increase their military might in order to secure their place among the Brotherhood, and against their One Sith foes.

=== Sphere of Influence ===

{{Main|Sphere of Influence}}

During and following the conflict with the One Sith, Clan Plagueis sought to solidify itself as a strong, independent unit of the Brotherhood. To do so they would need more financial power and an influence spread across the galaxy in a shadow empire of sorts.

Under the command of then Consul [[Aabsdu Dupar]], a plan was devised to take over a wealthy ship-manufacturing company named Hyperdyne Industries. It would provide the Clan a financial base with which to acquire new assets, as well as an industrial base with which to support any war effort Plagueis may need to undertake in order to grow its base of power. Its location on the massive world of Cadinth was also a bonus, located near Plagueis's current base of operations, [[The Anchorage]], in the [[starwars:Stygian_Caldera|Stygian Caldera]].
[[File:Lethracity.jpg|thumb|240px|left|Lethra City, the capital of Cadinth.]]

The Clan leadership covertly infiltrated the company over a period of a few months, gaining followers at various levels within the company, including those close to its current President and founder, Corbin Zexx. Concurrently, Plagueis also assembled forces in the capital of Lethra City to be deployed when the Clan Summit confirmed the company was ripe for its aggressive takeover. The Summit also monitored progress of their covert operations from this base in Lethra City.

Months of hard work paid off, and the attack against Corbin Zexx was launched. A small strike force comprising of the Clan's brightest minds and battle-hardened warriors successfully infiltrated Hyperdyne headquarters, allowing [[Teylas Ramar]] and his strike-team to directly confront President Zexx. Zexx was defiant until the end, hopelessly trying to outrun his enemies. Eventually Zexx was eliminated on the top of what was formerly his own company's headquarters, and the process of bringing Hyperdyne firmly under the control of Clan Plagueis was initiated. Plagueis now had a reliable means of generating wealth and material for their new endeavours.

=== Anchorage Event ===

Learning the secrets of their new base of operations was not as easy as first expected. Though nothing is when dealing with an old Sith starbase.

==== Trouble Brewing ====

Intending to explore the depths of the ancient space station, the Anchorage, Clan Plagueis had sent in exploration teams under the guidance of Marduss. However, after over thirteen hours of no contact, [[Teylas Ramar]] and [[Furios Morega]] led a six-person team in search of their missing comrades. They were to discover the source of their assumed disappearance within the bowels of the station. Ramar and Morega split up, and unknown to Furios or the higher chain of command of Plagueis, Ramar was attacked by Sithspawn and cut off from the rest of his team.

Aboard the KSD Transcendent, former Consul [[Vivackus Kavon di Plagia]], along with Furios Morega, Kz'set, [[Taranae Rhode]] and Callus Bo’Amar were dealing with a situation. Vivrackus had sent Ramar to [[The Anchorage]], once again to discover more of the vast hidden secrets the ancient station had yet to reveal. However, Ramar hadn’t reported in on time and had seemingly gone missing. Knowing this was uncommon for Ramar, Vivrackus ordered they all take small search parties to the station in search of him.

==== Survival of the Fittest ====

The Consul himself, Vivackus, was exploring the station with [[Selika Roh]], one of the many teams Vivrackus himself had ordered to search the station for Ramar. The two parted ways after a short conversation, though Vivackus was set upon by the Sithspawn. Six hours later he awoke, his leg broken and located in what appeared to be some sort of arboretum. Quickly getting on the comms, he was joined by Selika Roh, Kul’tak and Taranae Rhode. Though they had regrouped, they felt the Sithspawn nearby. Not knowing what it was, the four kept cover, awaiting the inevitable evil about to pounce on their position. While they waited, they sent out transmissions to the other teams, notifying them of their location and situation.

Furios Morega found an injured though alive Teylas Ramar wandering the depths of the Anchorage. Ramar, though injured, had learned invaluable information about the Sithspawn, including their tactics and capabilities. Explaining to Ramar that the Dread Lord and his team were located in this arboretum, Ramar made the group hurry. Ramar explained the arboretum, specifically the flora in it, acted as a recharging station for the power of the Sithspawn, meaning that the Dread Lord and his companions were in great danger.

The two [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] found themselves looking at the Dread Lord and his companions from a distance. Teylas explained that, based on his experience with the Sithspawn, they had walked into a trap on the other team. Teylas, knowing that a head-on assault with the beasts would prove fruitless, stressed caution and patience to Furios. They let the Sithspawn reveal themselves from their position, and when they were fully committed, the two joined the battle, helping the Dread Lord and his companions cut down the dangerous beasts.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Dread Lord pulled Teylas aside. Pleased with the Teylas’s performance, regardless of him being lost, Vivackus explained he needed Teylas to prepare for a new, brewing war.

=== Great Jedi War XI: Plagueis Civil War ===

{{Main|Great Jedi War XI}}

Consul Vivackus and Proconsul Kz’set were aboard the KSD Transcendent, discussing the current conflict within the Dark Brotherhood. Kz’set was expressing his reservations to Vivackus about entering into an alliance with the One Sith, specifically their leader, Darth Esoteric. The latter topic was of specific importance and concern for Kz’set, who felt that the Dread Lord was making the wrong and illogical choice in the matter. Vivackus explained, as a show of trust, he left his personal files available to Kz’set about the alliance with Darth Esoteric and the One Sith, hoping though not confident to alleviate the Verpine’s concerns. They parted ways on opposing sides of the matter.

The Dread Lord heavily suspected Kz’set would turn on him thinking it was for the good of Clan Plagueis. In due course, he contacted Teylas Ramar, hoping to gain his allegiance in the coming Plagueis internal conflict, as well as his proven ability as a master strategist. Teylas agreed, for his benefit and for the benefit of the Clan, to stand beside the Dread Lord. Together, they began readying their forces.

Elsewhere, Proconsul Kz’set began gathering his own allies. Dralin Fortea and Selika Roh were chief among them, lending their support to a Kz’set who saw the One Sith as a threat to Clan Plagueis’s and, overall, the Brotherhood’s survival.

==== Battlelines Drawn ====

Darth Esoteric and his military advisors were aboard the ISD Vanguard, discussing the implications of becoming involved in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood conflict being waged over Korriban. Esoteric made it clear to his advisors that they were entering the fight, but they were waiting for the entirety of the Brotherhood forces, including the late-comers Clan Plagueis, to become involved in the battle.

Kz’set and Selika Roh found themselves traveling down to the surface of Korriban together. Kz’set had been tasked by the Dread Lord to take a specific objective with limited resources and troops at his command. Though the chance of success was slim, even with the addition of a second Dark Jedi to his arsenal, Kz’set was not about to fail and be eliminated by the Dread Lord from a distance. However, en route to the surface, their shuttle came under attack by the Transcendent. Specifically, former Admiral Brimstone had overseen the Verpine conspiring with his allies and had decided to take action himself. The Dread Lord was most displeased, killing an officer in a short rage to make an example for Brimstone. This also led the Dread Lord to accelerate his plans to eliminate his Pronconsul. Continuing to make an example of Brimstone, the Dread Lord commanded he hunt down Kz’set and his allies, killing them once and for all since he had failed using the ship’s weapons systems.

==== Journey for the Holocron of Ajunta Pall ====

The relic hunter, con-man and Dark Jedi Connor Grey contacted both Teylas Ramar aboard his flagship, and the surviving Kz’set on the surface, telling them of a rare artifact found in the tomb of Ajunta Pall. Both Teylas, along with the Dread Lord, as well as Kz’set agreed to meet with Grey, understanding the huge benefit any artifacts could be to their individual and collective goals within the Clan and greater Brotherhood. He departed for the surface, while the Dread Lord and Dralin Fortea departed on their own shuttle, discussing the Proconsul’s defection from the Dread Lord and leadership of Clan Plagueis.
[[File:KorribanPlag.png|thumb|210px|right|Korriban, the location of the Tomb of Ajunta Pall.]]

Around this same time, Kz’set and Selika Roh, joined by Furios and a bulk of Clan Plagueis forces located on the surface, were reunited. The Verpine Proconsul had a considerable backing, and he took his companions and troops toward the Tomb of Ajunta Pall, trying to be ready for any outcome.

The two forces faced light resistance on their journey towards the ancient Tomb. The Dread Lord’s group arrived first, proceeding through the entrance of the Tomb even though they conveniently could not contact Connor Grey. However, within moments the Dread Lord loyalists were cornered by Kz’set’s companions. A brief stalemate ensued, with both sides passing insults attempting to stall the inevitable battle. Finally, the stalemate was broken by Dralin, who exposed his loyalty to Kz’set against the Dread Lord, notifying Kz’set that Teylas was attempting to proceed toward the holocron while they were distracted. And thus the battle commenced.

==== Plagueis Used ====

The battle commenced, with the Dread Lord and Proconsul engaging directly in combat. The rest of the Dark Jedi, soldiers and droids engaged each other, creating a chaotic conflict in an enclosed space, fighting for the ability to survive and escape with the holocron and its invaluable knowledge intact.

The duel between the two leaders was especially fierce, proceeding back and forth between the master Dark Jedi. However, taking advantage of a distracted Vivackus, who began to realize his true enemy was not Kz’set at all, Kz’set eventually struck his former Dread Lord down and ended the battle. It was at this time, though Kz’set had realized he was being played from the start, that Esoteric revealed himself to the remaining Plagueis forces. Moments of gloating were followed by Esoteric’s fleet bombarding the surface of Korriban, attempting to destroy as much of Clan Plagueis that was assembled as he could, helping to further the rise to power of the One Sith.

Esoteric’s attack united the formerly divided Clan Plagueis, with its leadership on the surface barely escaping the reign of death called down from Esoteric’s fleet.

The Plagueis leadership attempted to regroup on the surface, coordinating among each other to confirm what resources they had left at their disposal to begin planning a way to take the fight to Esoteric.

While the Tomb of Ajunta Pall was unoccupied following the orbital bombardment, Montresor attempted to recover the body of Vivackus for a master not-yet-known. Sensing a slight fragment of the former Dread Lord’s essence remaining, he retrived to the body to be taken back to his current master for their devious purposes.

=== Restoration ===

{{Main|Restoration}}

The Plagueian Clan leadership and their companions found themselves licking their wounds following the assault on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] by One Sith forces. Their resources were depleted, their fleet was nowhere to be found, and their Dread Lord was, as far as they knew, dead. A chance communication from Admiral Ranin informed the remaining Plagueis leadership that their former base of operations, [[The Anchorage]], was under the control of Xander Drax. Furthermore a large portion of their forces were under Drax's control. With this information in mind, a plan was devised to take back the Ascendant Fleet and their unique headquarters.

It was a three phase plan. The first involved retaking key ships, part of the [[Ascendant Fleet]], in order to re-establish a base of power and create an ability to assault their former space station. The first phase was wildly successful, and the Plagueian leadership won the majority of their ships back. The second phase of the plan was an assault on the station itself, and with the help of members of the [[Dark Council]] formerly of Clan Plagueis, their assault was successful. The third phase of the plan was to hunt down Xander Drax himself, though the station and its malevolent depths swallowed Xander before the Plagueian leadership could get to him.

Plagueis had successfully retaken their base of operations, and though still weakened, its leadership looked forward to re-establishing their hold over the galaxy.

=== Forged Alliances ===

[[Vivackus Kavon di Plagia]] found himself on [[starwars:Kamino|Kamino]], following a vision he had had many times before. Though he was not sure of the reason for his being there, he knew it was a part of the rough transition he had since his essence had been placed in a Miraluka body. A combination of learning to see through the Force without eyes, and the missing memories and essence of the body he now occupied was leaving Vivackus mentally unstable and many believed unfit to lead Plagueis.

==== A Change at the Top ====

Tra’an Reith followed Vivackus to Kamino, intending to duel the current Dread Lord into a submission of some form of defeat, forcing him to relinquish the title of Dread Lord to someone else more worthy of it. A fierce duel ensued on the planet, with both combatants coming close to death. However, Reith found himself the victor, forcing his will upon the former Dread Lord. Vivackus surrendered, and Reith spared his life, departing to take a message back to Clan Plagueis to help instate a new Consul.

==== Haunted by the Dead ====

[[Teylas Ramar]] was meeting with the Consul and Proconsul of [[Clan Tarentum]], hoping for assistance in dealing with an imposing, powerful and shape-shifting menace aboard [[The Anchorage]], and through their assistance, hoping to strike an alliance with the Clan of Death. Though the meeting was briefly interrupted to have the Plagueis leadership inform Ramar he was the new Dread Lord of Clan Plagueis, it didn’t change the plan in the slightest. In exchange for assistance in dealing with the shape-shifting threat aboard their ancient space station, Plagueis offered the assistance of their military and political might to the Tarenti as their first token of a growing alliance.

Sometime later, the new Dread Lord and his Tarenti delegation arrived on the Anchorage. Acting quickly, the Dread Lord assembled a team to lead the Tarenti delegation down into the lower depths of the station, hoping to satisfy the curiousity of the Tarenti and guaranteeing their help to resolve the matter. They encountered the form of Xander Drax, though it was only Drax physically. The being, powerful in the Dark Side of the Force, didn’t directly engage the Plagueis and Tarenti forces, simply showing itself and fading back into the shadows. The [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] masters from Tarentum were highly intrigued.

==== The Bloodstone ====

The Tarenti delegation, in cooperation with the Plagueian forces, devised a plan to trap the ancient being hounding the residents of the ancient space station. They acquired an ancient Sith artifact known as a Bloodstone, which Bloodfyre assured the Plagueian Dread Lord would help capture the ancient being within its eternal depths. Teylas and Farrin performed the ritual, trapping the threat inside its depths and freeing the Anchorage of yet another evil keeping them from furthering the development and repair of the station.

With the ancient being intact and the help provided by Tarentum invaluable in the use of the Bloodstone, the two delegations parted ways. Sometime later they contacted each other, when the Tarentum representative asked about the status of the Bloodstone. Ramar replied that it was in the possession of Tarenti forces, not Clan Plagueis. A quick back and forth led the two Consul’s to realize that the artifact known as the Bloodstone was currently lost, and the being or beast trapped inside it along with it. Its location at this time remains a mystery. But the alliance between Plagueis and Tarentum had begun.

=== Between Light and Dark ===

{{Main|Battle of Florrum}}

Clan Plagueis was stewing from the shadows. The Ascendant Fleet was mostly restored, their armies were prepared for battle, their coffers were full due to their control of a major galactic company, and their leadership was hungry for blood and power. The example set by [[Darth Pravus]] provided ample opportunity for Plagueis to prove themselves in the eyes of the Brotherhood leadership. In the name of the Grand Master of the Brotherhood, Clan Plagueis would hunt down the Jedi and their undesirable kin to the planet [[starwars:Florrum|Florrum]], seeking to vanquish the Jedi and their armies, and take the undesirables as slaves to fuel the well-oiled machine that was Plagueis.

==== Attack on Athiss ====

The Sith's plans began on [[Athiss]], where a host of undesirable soldiers and refugees sought protection from the Brotherhood that had cast them out. However, the Ascendant Fleet was aware of their location and darkened the skies with their ships. Defenses on the surface were not fully operational, and the Sith fleet made quick work of most resistance.

However, an Arkanian by the name of Thrax Kolzaar managed to successfully dispatch a message to [[Clan Odan-Urr]], warning them of Plagueis's actions on Athiss and their further hunt. [[Selika Roh]], the Proconsul of the Sith Clan, arrived too late to stop the message, but early enough to aggressively convince its sender to tell her the message's content.

==== The Road to Florrum ====

The Grand Master had dispatched the [[Inquisitorius]] to aid the Plagueians in their conquest, while Odan-Urr had passionate undesirables bolstering their ranks. The Jedi had fled to the planet Florrum, using steep terrain and unpredictable [[starwars:Weequay|Weequay]] pirates to their advantage.
[[File:ATTEPlag.jpg|thumb|190px|left|AT-TE's assaulting Odan-Urr positions.]]

The surface of Florrum was volatile at best, making it difficult for Plagueian forces to land. Furthermore, the element of surprise had been lost while allies of the Sith searched for the location of the Jedi, which is what led them to Florrum in the first place. The Dread Lord, Teylas Ramar, had a crucial battle ahead of him against a well entrenched Jedi force. Though Plagueis had the numbers and the resources to mount an assault, it was still a major risk. However, the order was given and the Ascendant Fleet secured the space over Florrum. Once they had a window of opportunity, they began landing troops.

Though the fighting was fierce, Plagueian forces managed to push back and eventually break the lines of Clan Odan-Urr. Their fleet was dispatched and their troops were scattered, though the Sith clan had suffered some major losses themselves. Plagueis didn't manage to catch or kill many, if any Jedi, though they were successful in acquiring a massive amount of slaves to fuel their growing ambitions. Those undesirables and Odanites that managed to escape successfully slipped through Plagueian lines, licking their wounds. Following the battle, the Dread Lord made it clear that he was keen to continue the mission set out by the Grand Master: hunt the undesirables. And he would do just that to the ends of the galaxy if need be.

=== Journey to Aliso (Plagueis Pro Bowl) ===

No matter where the undesirables ran, Plagueis was intent on finding them, no matter the cost. With the help of mercenary and bounty hunter named [[Laren Uscot]], the undesirable remnants from Florrum were tracked to an uninhabited system in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]]. Their location was pin-pointed, and the Ascendant Fleet gathered in orbit above a planet known as Aliso.

==== Race to the Bottom ====

The consul knew resistance would be light, and he relished in the opportunity to hunt down the remaining undesirables. Upon further investigation of the planet, Teylas and Selika realized that the undesirables were holed up in a massive superstructure built into the side of a mountain. Teylas then divided his forces, with himself leading a frontal assault on the structure, while Selika led a second assault on the adjacent spaceport for the facility.

The might of the [[Ascendant Legion]] was ordered to land on the surface, as the Dread Lord wanted the formidable building left intact. Neither Teylas nor Selika met stiff resistance, with both easily dispatching the passionate though hopeless resistance standing in their way. The structure itself was more of a mystery, and quite dangerous.

==== Trading Places ====

Upon infiltrating the gargantuan facility, Teylas and Selika ordered the majority of their forces to capture or kill the remaining sentient lifeforms left alive in the facility. The two leaders took the time following the hunt to inspect and learn more about the abandoned [[starwars:Confederacy_of_Independent_Systems|CIS]] base, both its purpose, it's true size, and the reason why the former [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Galactic Empire]] never utilized the facility. The Dread Lord's interest in the facility was immense, as it was a potential new base for the Clan.

A few weeks after clearing out the undesirables, the Dread Lord called a meeting. The entirety of the Clan's leadership arrived. After weeks of research on the facility, it was functionally operational and began revealing its secrets. As a former CIS prison, it had been intentionally kept off the various records of the former Separatist database. Though it wasn't exactly known what kind of facility it was beyond a prison, it was clear that whatever had been going on was not for public eye, whether Separatist or Loyalist. The Dread Lord announced that the base was to be the new Plagueis command centre, and the planet [[Aliso]] was to be their new home. The Anchorage was to be towed into the system as well, acting as a support base for the Ascendant Fleet and an option of retreat for the Plagueians on the surface, if ever the need arose.

With a new home in the Unknown Regions secured, and a means of putting their massive number of new slaves to work, Clan Plagueis was left in a secure position far from the prying eyes of the Iron Throne and the other Clans, as well as the greater galaxy at large. Nothing, of course, lasts forever.

=== A Call to Arms ===

The weeks had passed uneventfully, and the majority of the Clan had set to work on the monumental task of settling their new world and exploring their new headquarters. The Ascendant Clan assumed that beyond their allies on the Dark Council and in [[Clan Tarentum]], they were hidden from the more active machinations of Galactic affairs.

[[Crandl Lorne]], a high ranking member of the [[Inquisitorius]], arrived on the Plagueian homeworld of [[Aliso]] with little warning. His intentions were unknown, even to the reigning Consul, Teylas Ramar. But due to his status and standing within the Brotherhood, Lorne was given free reign. Though the hands of the Plagueian leadership were tied, everyone concluded that there was something amiss.

==== Hit and Run ====

With the majority of personnel located on the Alisian surface, the [[Ascendant Fleet]] was lightly manned by skeleton crews and droids. This would prove to be a fatal miscalculation, though no one could forsee a surprise attack.

A small, Imperial-type fleet dropped out of hyperspace near Aliso and engaged the unprepared Ascendant Fleet. In a conventional engagement, the latter would have had the upper hand, but the precise coordinates utilized in the enemy assault, and the undermanned crews of the Plagueian fleet made resistance utterly futile. The Ascendant Fleet was torn apart, and once there was nothing battle-ready remaining, the enemy fleet turned and jumped into hyperspace.

The Plagueian leadership was utterly stunned, but the leadership of Ramar and Selika Roh kept the rage of the Clan focused. Calling in favours from allies on the Dark Council and Clan Tarentum, Plagueis had the necessary ship strength to launch an invasion of their enemy's homeworld. With intelligence provided by Lorne, they also knew exactly where to go.

==== Swift, Sweet Revenge ====

Plagueis's enemy was known as the "Order of Vader". They were a fledgling Imperial remnant located in the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]], with a fanatic loyalty to the fallen Empire and grandiose dreams of returning to Galactic domination. Based on the intelligence provided by Crandl Lorne, the [[Ascendant Legion]] would be able to crush any of their resistance.

Under the direct command of the Dread Lord, Plagueian forces landed on the terrestrial world of Capis, with no notable resistance in the space over the planet. A landing zone for ground troops was quickly established, and a battle plan drawn to quickly dispatch their archaic foes.

The majority of the Ascendant Legion would comprise the centre flank, pushing hard and fast toward the suspected location of the Order of Vader's main base. The two Houses, [[Ajunta Pall]] and [[Karness Muur]], were located on the flanks, screening the primary advance, and eventually flanking around the enemy's headquarters to cut off their avenue of escape. It was a simple but effective plan, and for awhile it worked.

As Plagueian forces were drawing close to the Order of Vader's main base, their advance came to a halt. Yet again, a surprise counterattack by their Imperial enemies took them off guard, halting the advance and putting Plagueis on the defensive. The Houses took the brunt of the enemy assault, holding back wave after wave of [[starwars:Stormtroopers|Stormtroopers]], enemy armour, and even some artillery.

At the same time, Ramar and the rest of the Plagueian Summit came to the conclusion that there really was a traitor in their midst. And following the abrupt absence of Crandl Lorne, it was easy to determine who it was.

While Plagueian forces focused on repelling the Imperial assault, a team comprised of [[Taranae Rhode]], [[Silent]] and [[Tra'an Reith]] was sent after Lorne. They succeeded in capturing and terminating the Inquisitorius agent, while Teylas and Selika led their ground forces to victory over the Order of Vader.

Questions remained about Lorne's uncharacteristic betrayal. He was, and had been for some time, a zealous and loyal member of the Inquisitorius. He was fiercely loyal to the Dark Council and the Iron Throne, willing to take on any task in their name. What would turn a man against his allies? More importantly, did he even betray the Brotherhood, or was this part of some greater vendetta against the Ascendant Clan? With his death, only uncertainty remained within the clouded Force.

=== Aftermath ===

In late 34 ABY, Teylas Ramar and then Consul of Tarentum [[Frosty Romanae Tarentae]] came to an agreement that Pravus, whose loyalists Ramar had suspected to be behind the attack on the Ascendant Fleet and was suspected by Tarentum of ordering an Arconae to kill one of the Tarenti, had to be deposed. Plagueis prepared to gather what remained of its fleet while Tarentum, too, prepared for retribution.

Arcona came across the amassing Tarenti fleet as it sought to hand over the killer of the Tarenti to preserve the peace between the two clans. It was then that [[Sith Bloodfyre-Tarentae]] offered Arcona the opportunity to join the Ascendant Clan and the Clan of Death in their strike on Pravus. Arcona’s Shadow Scion accepted, and the stage was set for a brutal confrontation.

Plagueis and Tarenti forces arrived in Anteian space to confront a force loyal to the Iron Throne, hoping that Pravus would helm it himself. The remnants of the Ascendant Fleet and the forces of Tarentum took a battering, allowing the Consuls of the clans to make it aboard the flagship containing the enemy commander.

The commander turned out not to be Pravus, and this incensed Romanae, who tore through a series of officers in anger. However, the worst was yet to come, as the commander of the Iron Legion’s forces had sent out a distress beacon and reinforcements were coming.

As the Throne’s reinforcements arrived, all looked lost, but then came Arcona. The Shadow Clan had arrived with their Consul and their flagship, along with some reinforcements of their own, though their intention was not to get into a slugging match with the forces loyal to Pravus. Using the arrival of Arcona as a distraction, Plagueis and Tarentum were able to retreat back to the Yridia system, where Arcona would soon join them.

The assembled Consuls each stood firm in their opposition to Pravus, but they failed to come up with a satisfactory means of enticing the other clans to work together, and the clans went their separate ways.

=== The Enemy Below ===

While peace in its purest sense would never truly find Plagueis for more than a fleeting second, something similar settled over the clan for a few months. The members of the Clan had time to properly explore Aliso and its neighboring space and began establishing their dominion over it. During this time, the Clan’s two houses determined and instituted their headquarters: House Karness Murr put down roots at [[Korada Monastery]] while Ajunta Pull acquired a former Separatist outpost designated [[Supply Station Omega]]. It was also during this period of time that Selika Roh ascended to the position of Dread Lord, succeeding Teylas Ramar.

The thorough exploration of Aliso soon produced some unexpected consequences. A series of tunnels underneath Aliso City, previously thought empty, was revealed to house hundreds of thousands of [[starwars:Geonosians|Geonosians]]. The bug-like aliens, roused from their stasis, swarmed the tunnels in an effort to defend themselves, even utilizing Clone Wars-era droids in their efforts. The attack quickly spread into the city itself, which prompted a near-immediate response from Clan Plagueis.

While the battle was not particularly long, the suddenness of the attack and its location, a population center, certainly brought about casualties. Several high-ranking members of the clan took charge of the situation, some leading task forces into the Geonosian enclave themselves while others took point in defending the city. While not every effort could be considered a success, once the Plagueis summit discovered the details behind the attack and the individuals behind it, the Dread Lord herself descended into the tunnels with a detachment of soldiers.

The assault was a success, as the Dread Lord’s unit ignored most of the fighting and made directly for the Geonosian Queen. The Dread Lord’s Wrath, who had been taken captive earlier in the battle, was successfully rescued, and Roh came face-to-face with her target. This particular hive, the [[Valneikian hive]], knew that they were likely the last survivors of the Geonosian species. Therefore, the Dread Lord was able to use the threat of genocide via orbital bombardment to bring the queen under the control of Plagueis. With the queen came the entirety of the hive, and the battle was brought to an end.

While Aliso City began its recovery from the attack, the Clan made it a priority to find a place for the Valneikian hive to relocate to; they couldn’t have the Geonosians living underneath the city if they needed to make true on their threat. It only took a matter of weeks for the Geonosians to find a satisfactory home outside the city and begin their migration to it. They would quickly begin construction on the [[Valneikian spire]], but with the Geonosian threat now over and dealt with, the Clan could return to more important matters.

=== War Approaches ===

==== War Games ====

In mid-35 ABY, Selika Roh suspected that war was imminent. The recent attack by the Geonosians had shown that Plagueis hadn’t been prepared for war. Thus, she arranged with her Proconsul [[Abadeer Taasii]] and Rollmaster [[Arden Karn]] for Plagueis to carry out a series of exercises designed to increase the readiness and effectiveness of the Ascendant Clan’s armed forces.

As a result, Plagueis was in a much better position than it had been for the coming conflict.

==== The Collective ====

{{Main|Twelfth Great Jedi War}}

Plagueis watched as the battle between those who publicly opposed Pravus and the forces of the Iron Throne raged on in what had promised to be a battle for the ages. However, while such tension was playing out, Plagueis, along with the rest of the Brotherhood was surprised by a new force arriving and attacking everything in sight. This assault was led by a former member of the Brotherhood’s forces named Rath Oligard. Oligard and [[The Collective]] desired to rid the galaxy of Force Users entirely and planned to start with the Brotherhood. This ultimately brought on the [[Twelfth Great Jedi War]].

While it held no love for Pravus, the Dark Council, or the other clans, Plagueis knew that it would need to fight alongside them to survive. The Collective was tracked to the planet [[Nancora]], and the Ascendant Fleet faced one of its greatest challenges to date.

The preparations done by Plagueis paid off, and the Collective was driven from Nancora. However, that was not the end of the matter. The Collective struck out against all of the clans, and in the case of Plagueis, [[Dracaryis]] was dispatched by Pravus to ensure the survival of the Ascendant Clan and its fleets.

=== Relative Stability ===

==== Mysteries of Aliso ====

Safe from The Collective, at least temporarily, Plagueis ventured across Aliso, hoping to find new places and people of interest to the clan, either in a financial sense or as part of the war machine the Ascendant Clan had to repair and improve post-Nancora. Among the discoveries were Cordana Valley, a potential site for military exercises; the Pearl Islands, the largest of which was home to the questionable resort of Djeri’s Retreat; and the Isle of New Raxulon, a potential source of raw material and technical expertise. As its newest Consul, Arden Karn planned to bolster trade efforts and military campaigns with their planetside discoveries.

==== Song of Discord ====

Plagueis wasn’t going to have it easy for long, and Karn would have his crisis to deal with as Dread Lord. Someone intended to sow the seeds of dissent in the Plagueian slave caste. The first signs were shown by a rebellious slave at the D&D Construction Yards, igniting a minor explosion in the factories. The Dark Council offered aid in the form of the Inquisitorius but was bluntly rejected by Karn. He was determined that under his leadership, Plagueis would be able to take care of itself without what he saw as outside meddling.

Plagueians were under incredibly strict orders to watch out for further signs of unusual behavior, and security was tightened around key locations. Slaves that were noticed to be defective were sent off to [[The Pinnacle]], where they were interrogated, tortured, and reconditioned. Plagueis’ best and brightest medical personnel would seek to uncover the cause of the malfunction, while the people behind it were subject to intense investigation.

Ultimately, it was discovered that Sevrin Arce, a personal enemy of the Dread Lord’s, had been collaborating with The Collective. Arce’s brother was a slave on Aliso, and the Collective had told Sevrin that if he agreed to help them, he would be reunited with his brother. When Sevrin was brought before Karn, the two struck a deal: Sevrin and his brother would be free to leave Aliso if Sevrin gave Karn information on The Collective’s operatives. Karn injured Sevrin, and ordered him to be taken to his brother, who was working as medical personnel. Both men remained true to their word; the Arce brothers left Aliso, and Arden gained valuable information on Collective personnel. With this, those responsible for the potential slavery insurrection withdrew, knowing that they would soon be discovered by Plagueian forces.

==== Meridian ====

{{Main|Rite of Supremacy: Meridian}}

As [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]] drew to a close, several Dark Council vessels came under assault by the Collective. One such vessel, an Inquisitorius Listener Ship, managed to transmit vital intelligence on an objective by the name of “Meridian” before it perishes. Under the current circumstances, the Dark Council decided to call upon the aide of the Clans of the Brotherhood. Karn chose to assist the Dark Council alongside the other Clans in rebutting this new Collective assault and acting on the newly received intelligence.

Meridian was soon revealed to be the [[Meridian Prime space station]], a research station run by the Technocratic Guild, an arm of the Collective. Plagueis assisted Brotherhood forces in hunting down the station, eventually aiding the Brotherhood in taking control of it. The Brotherhood proved victorious in the conflict, and the Collective was driven back for the time being. With their pledge to assist the Dark Council fulfilled, Plagueian forces were able to return to the Aliso system.

Clan Plagueis once again entered an era of growth and development, with little interference from outside sources. While the group could not be considered “at peace”, they were able to devote time to cultivating the power of the clan in preparation for whatever conflict might come next.

==== Operation: Antiquity ====

{{Main|Operation: Antiquity}}

While scouring through some of the leftover Confederate databases that were slowly being merged into Plagueis archives, a notable discovery was made. A planet, code-named ‘’Reliquary’’, was positioned not too far away from the Aliso system. Said planet was rich in resources and remained relatively unplundered, and Karn decided that securing the payload that this planet provided was necessary, so the clan wasted little time in putting together a task force to do just that.

When the Plagueian summit and their retinue arrived on Reliquary, they discovered that several high-ranking members of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] were also laying claim to the planet. After a tense confrontation between the two summits, a verbal accord was quickly drafted: since Clan Plagueis sought only the material wealth of resources that the planet provided while Clan Naga Sadow sought ancient Sith secrets and relics, they would work together in a joint operation to scout, pacify, and plunder the planet. This joint venture was dubbed [[Operation: Antiquity]].

While there was certainly some friction between the operatives of the Clans, they managed to avoid any major incidents. Their cooperation persisted against pirates that had settled on the planet, as well as a fairly large army of battle droids seemingly left there by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Despite the enemies they faced, the two Clans working in tandem were able to handle themselves for several days, completing their objectives without any major tragedies or casualties.

Once the Clans felt their surveys and extractions had drained Reliquary of what value it held, Operation: Antiquity was dubbed a success and drawn to a close. The time spent working together left Plagueis and Naga Sadow closer in relations, but they were still far from staunch allies. Regardless, they parted on good terms, each taking what they came for and departing Reliquary. Clan Plagueis returned to the Aliso system to take stock of the successes and failures of the operation. With this new influx of resources, they were able to accelerate the process of growing their power and securing their hold on the Aliso system.

=== Discord ===

{{Main|Thirteenth Great Jedi War}}

Clan Plagueis encountered its first major shake-up in a while when Arden Karn stepped down, leaving his Wrath, Ronovi Tavisaen, to assume the throne. Surrounding her ascension to Dread Lord, a slew of other leadership changes also took place, including multiple non-Force Users coming into positions of power. These sudden and rapid changes would sow some unrest and contention within the clan, especially among purist Dark Jedi members. The new status quo had barely settled before the Dark Council was calling on Clan Plagueis, along with the other Brotherhood clans, to assist with their attempted alliance with the [[The_Severian_Principate|Severian Principate]]. While there was still some uncertainty within Plagueis about its future, this call to action would bind the Ascendant Clan together under a common cause for the time being.

While the Dark Council, along with emissaries from each of the Brotherhood Clan’s, was negotiating with the Principate, the Collective had carried out false-flag attack posing as the Brotherhood. This threw the [[Lyra-3K-a_system|Lyra-3K-a system]] into chaos, which the Dark Council needed assistance in suppressing. They also hoped to clear their name and forge an alliance with the Principate while keeping the Collective from gaining a valuable ally.

The Ascendant Fleet arrived at [[Lyra-3K-a_system#Thuvis_Imperial_Shipyard|Thuvis Imperial Shipyards]], where they planned to ally with the Principate forces and eliminate the Collective presence. The Collective was playing ally to the Principate but had plans to install an AI that would allow them to take control of the Shipyards. Plagueis was able to acquire proof of the Collective’s plan, winning the Severian Principate over, and the two fleets allied to eliminate the present Collective forces.

Even though some Principate personnel sided with the Collective, refusing to believe the Brotherhood’s innocence, the battle was won quite handily. Unfortunately, however, while the new Dread Lord’s Wrath, [[TuQ'uan Varick]], was aboard the Principate’s 5th Fleet flagship negotiating with its commander, an attempt was made on his life by a Collective spy. He managed to escape unscathed; however, the Dread Lord herself would not prove so lucky. A separate assassination attempt was carried out aboard the [[Ascendancy_(Imperial_I-class)|Ascendancy]], where Ronovi was in command. The attack had many casualties, one of which was the Dread Lord’s left arm.

There were some losses, but as the Clan proved victorious in the Shipyards, other Brotherhood forces had similar results. The Collective was routed from the system, and a Brotherhood-wide alliance with the Principate was forged. The Ascendant Fleet then returned to the Aliso system, many of the ranking members of Plagueis receiving medals for the efforts during the war. With the conflict behind them, the Clan was able to turn its focus inward and strive to grow ever stronger - this time, going on the offensive against remaining Collective splinter cells.

===Code: Dread===

Clan Plagueis didn’t have much time to rest and recover after the events of Discord. Their new policy of staying on offense against the Collective was put into motion within weeks of their triumphant return to the Aliso system. Plagueian agents operating from the Anchorage discovered a Collective splinter group lurking just outside the system in the Unknown Regions. This group was being led by Kel Zar, a Collective agent who had been partially responsible for the slave rebellion that occurred on Aliso the previous year. Not only was Kel Zar beginning to accrue a small fleet, but it was discovered that Collective spies from this same splinter group were infiltrating Plagueis’ home planet.

The Dread Lord quickly organized an assault to deal with the threat on all fronts, and the operation was dubbed Code: Dread. The Ascendant Fleet divided its ships to scrub the region clean of Kel Zar’s scattered fleet while also maintaining a strong defensive presence in the system. Many Plagueian agents, including high-ranking Lords and the Ascendant Legion, took to the streets of Aliso City to root out infiltrators once and for all and gather intel about Kel Zar’s plans.

Kel Zar herself, leading the bulk of her fleet, clashed with Task Force Besh and several Plagueian Lords. Although she was able to drag the battle out through keen tactics and strength of will, the sheer firepower and ability of Clan Plagueis proved to be too much for the Collective agent. When reinforcements from Aliso arrived, led by the Dread Lord’s Wrath, the battle was decided. Kel Zar narrowly escaped death and managed to flee from the battle, utterly defeated.

Meanwhile, on Aliso, the Collective infiltrators were discovered and dealt with before their plans to infiltrate the Pinnacle could become a reality. Losses had been kept to a minimum and the immediate threat the agents posed was over. Ronovi’s offensive tactics had proven their value in the success of Code: Dread. With a relative peace returning to the Clan, she soon would set even grander plans into motion.

=== House Tyranus and The Zsoldos Incursion ===

{{Main|The Zsoldos Incursion}}

As 37 ABY drew to a close, a massive modification in structure came to Clan Plagueis. Houses Ajunta Pall and Karness Murr were dissolved by the Dread Lord, replaced with one House in the form of [[House Tyranus]]. Alongside House Tyranus, [[Opress|Battleteam Opress]] was founded. While House Tyranus served as the main arm of Plagueis military and economic affairs, Opress was a much smaller unit that operated similarly to an elite hit squad. While the reorganization in structure did not affect the overall culture of the Clan, it brought plenty of other changes. Adjusting to said changes became a primary concern as [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#38 ABY|38 ABY]] dawned on the Brotherhood.

With the new calendar year came new troubles. Unbeknownst to the Clan or its members, the Collective agent Kel Zar, now cut off from her organization, had found a new ally in the form of [[Laren Uscot]]. The two began to formulate a plan to destroy Plagueis in its entirety. The beginnings of that plan came when Kel Zar approached the Bounty Hunter’s Guild and put a price on Arden Karn di Plagia, the former Dread Lord of Plagueis. This job was picked up by a member of the Brotherhood’s newest Clan, [[Clan Vizsla]].

Although an attempt was made by a member of Vizsla, Karn was able to overpower his attacker. When Tavisaen discovered that Vizsla was involved, she took it personally. Her talks with the Consul of Vizsla broke down quickly, and the Dread Lord decided to declare war on the Mandalorian clan, much to the chagrin of some of her subordinates. Nonetheless, the Ascendant Fleet and Ascendant Legion departed for [[Zsoldos]], Vizsla’s homeworld, and Plagueis began a campaign to levy justice for the offense.

The two clans clashed both on and above the planet. Multiple assaults were launched across Zsoldos in an attempt to take control of Vizslan facilities. By destroying the [[Zsoldos#Roark-Cole-Tresor_Research_Station|Roark-Cole-Tresor Research Station]], Vizsla was able to keep it out of Plagueis’ hands. They did not have as much luck with [[Zsoldos#Saga|Saga Hall]], however, which was occupied by the Ascendant Legion. The naval battle also moved in Plagueis’ favor, as they successfully repelled Vizsla’s attempt to take one of their capital ships and began to push back against the mercenary clan’s lesser numbers.

The battle, however, came to an abrupt halt with the Dark Council’s intervention, which requested the aid of both Vizsla and Plagueis in recovering the Deputy Grand Master from his imprisonment on [[Tenixir]]. Reluctantly, Plagueian forces withdrew from Zsoldos to focus on this new mission. The clans parted on bitter terms. It didn’t take long for Plagueis agents to discover that Laren Uscot and Kel Zar were behind the genesis of the conflict on Zsoldos, so they now had a new enemy to focus on. With tensions in the clan high, more fighting was certainly on the horizon.

=== Homefront ===

{{Main|Fourteenth Great Jedi War}}

Clan Plagueis did not have much time to rest after the Zsoldos Incursion. Before they could properly plan or execute a response to the reappearance of Laren, the Dark Council called for their aid. Alongside the rest of the Brotherhood’s clans, Plagueis took the Ascendant Fleet to the Arx System, which was currently under assault by a Collective fleet. Many key facilities around the system were being targeted, but the Dread Lord decided to direct her attention to the ''[[Nesolat]]'', a station being used by the Shadow Academy.

The Ascendant Fleet fought beside forces from the Dark Council, [[Clan Arcona]], Clan Naga Sadow, and [[Clan Odan-Urr]] to gain control of the platform while several boarding parties were dispatched. Notably, even the Dread Lord herself descended to the station’s interior in order to secure the safe evacuation of the Headmaster. The battle was hard fought but the Brotherhood’s forces seemed to have a handle on it. However, it quickly became clear this particular conflict would not be entirely straightforward.

A secondary Collective fleet entered the system while the Deputy Grand Master, now turned traitor, sabotaged the station, causing it to begin breaking apart in atmosphere as its various components detached, seeking safety on the ground. However, with the planetary shield now disrupted and the new Collective forces lending weight to the attack, the battle was quickly migrating down into Eos City. Fortunately, the Dread Lord had achieved her goal and brought the Headmaster back on board the Ascendancy. As she issued new orders to the Clan concerning the new battlefront, not all of them were met with cooperation.

House Tyranus’ Aedile, [[Gaius Julius Caesar]], confronted Dread Lord Ronovi with an admonishment of her methodology and attitude. After it became clear they were at an impasse, Caesar attempted to assassinate Ronovi. The attempt failed miserably and cost Caesar his life, the Dread Lord sparing no mercy as she revelled in the kill. With the Aedlie now dead, the dissent within the Clan remained silent for the rest of the campaign. The Grand Master eventually performed a ritual that bolstered all of the Brotherhood’s forces and allowed them to win the day, causing the Collective to retreat with innumerable losses.

As the Ascendant Fleet began to regroup and prepare for their return, all was not well, however. The fallout of Caesar’s death and Laren’s return manifested in the Dread Lord’s Wrath, [[TuQ'uan Varick]]. Varick stepped down from his position, no longer confident in the Dread Lord’s leadership, after hearing news of Caesar’s death and receiving a message from Laren, his former master. This left two vacancies in the summit and the opportunity for a massive shift in the clan going forward.

After reviewing the options available to her, the Dread Lord promoted the current Hand of Dread, [[Liandry Cataa]] to the position of Dread Lord’s Wrath. This new Proconsul had proven herself loyal in the past and could help to solidify Ronovi’s grasp on the summit. With the Hand of Dread position now vacated, the Dread Lord turned to contacts outside of the Clan, eventually electing [[Shimura Xhedias Keibatsu]], a former member of Clan Naga Sadow, to the role. For House Tyranus’ new Aedile, [[Marcus Armani]] was selected. The summit had been almost entirely transformed in the aftermath of the Great Jedi War, allowing for Plagueis to approach new strategies and challenges without threatening Tavisaen’s rule.

=== The Scourge ===

As Plagueis returned to Aliso in the Aftermath of the Great Jedi War, the Dread Lord began slowly working to consolidate her stranglehold on the Clan. Betrayals like the ones that had just taken place were unacceptable, and so, the Dread Lord and the Dread Lord’s Wrath arranged meetings with many important figures to secure their loyalty. The leaders of various influential factions around Aliso, such as the Saraask'ar, Valneikian Hive, and Hyperdyne Industries had a personal meeting with the Dread Lord’s Wrath where they bargained for influence. These meetings were not simple diplomacy, however, instead serving as a way for the Dread Lord to evaluate and weed out potential threats within her own territory.

The next threat to Plagueis did not come from within, however. In the latter half of 38 ABY, the Aliso system came under a brief, but concentrated attack. Laren Uscot, leading a new force of defectors from the Collective, Severian Principate, and Dark Jedi Brotherhood, invaded the Aliso System. This new enemy called themselves the [[Phantom Assembly]]. The Phantom Assembly had allied themselves with the Oetteo nest of [[starwars:Killik|Killiks]], striking with two prongs against Plagueis. Their approach aided from within by the former Dread Lord’s Wrath, TuQ’uan Varick, the Phantom Assembly’s fleet struck at [[The Circle]] while the Killiks attacked the Valneikian spire on Aliso.

When Plagueis moved to defend both positions as well as to secure the borders of the system against further incursion, a battle broke out. The battle at the Valneikian spire was bloody and hard fought, the Geonosian residents combining their forces with the Plagueian reinforcements to beat back their foe, though not without major losses. However, the Phantom Assembly’s strike against the Circle completely annihilated the structure. The Phantom Assembly’s fleet retreated quickly after dealing a heavy blow to Plagueis’ morale, avoiding an all-out battle against the Ascendant Fleet.

While the battle appeared to be a victory in Plagueis’ favor, the sudden strike at their home and the destruction of the Circle left morale low. Once again, the Dread Lord made sweeping changes to the Plagueian summit, appointing [[Taranae Rhode]] as the new head of House Tyranus and [[Khryso Mallus]] as her Aedile. The Clan began the slow work of recovery, sorting through the wreckage of the Circle and securing the system’s borders more firmly. The Phantom Assembly’s existence now haunted the Dread Lord as she pined for revenge against Uscot.

=== The Myrkr Crusade ===

{{Main|The Myrkr Crusade}}

As 38 ABY passed into 39 ABY, any clues to the whereabouts of the Phantom Assembly remained absent. That is, until a curious piece of intel passed across the Dread Lord’s desk. Information about a mysterious artifact known as the [[Desired One]]. According to the reports they had acquired, the artifact was the Phantom Assembly’s next target. Eager to one-up Uscot, the Dread Lord quickly ordered a campaign to acquire the Desired One before the Phantom Assembly. She deployed Opress and Tyranus to [[starwars:Myrkr|Myrkr]] retrieve the artifact, but upon their arrival, the Ascendant Forces came into contact with Clan Odan-Urr forces already on-site. The rival Clans realized they were competing for the same prize and so began [[The Myrkr Crusade]].

Rather than engaging Odan-Urr in open combat, Plagueis instead inserted key personnel and special forces into the hunt. What resulted were occasional small skirmishes and races to secure clues and footholds in vital locations. A sizable Odanite party was the first to locate the Desired One, avoiding Plagueis’ counter ambush and successfully securing the artifact. Once Plagueis realized the artifact was in the enemy’s hands, they quickly became aggressive. The conflict grew into a battle, several pockets of combat scattered across the planet’s surface.

The battle riled the native [[starwars:Neti|Neti]], causing them to join the battle in an effort to push both Clans out of their home. Odan-Urr, keeping possession of the Desired One, quickly yielded to the Neti’s requests, opting for a rapid retreat and withdrawal from the situation. Plagueis, however, was still unsatisfied. When the Clan’s forces realized the Desired One was out of their reach entirely and their mission had failed, they turned their fury onto the Neti. It eventually became clear, however, that the battle was not worth fighting. With some reluctance, the Plagueian forces chose to withdraw from Myrkr in defeat. Some stray turbolasers exchanged fire as the two fleets retreated from the planet’s orbit, but the battle was already over.

The Dread Lord, now having suffered what felt like two consecutive defeats at the hands of the Phantom Assembly, had reached her limit. She stepped down from her position as Dread Lord, leaving Liandry Cataa as the acting Dread Lord, and left the system to hunt down Uscot and the Phantom Assembly personally. After she had spent the last year tightening her fist, the Dread Lord’s sudden departure caused some chaos and confusion within Plagueis that would herald many changes.

=== Selika’s Return, Ventress, and Escalation ===

{{Main|Rite of Supremacy: Escalation}}

The disorder that followed the Dread Lord’s departure did not have the opportunity to fester long enough to evolve into further conflict. Before a member of the Plagueian elites had time to push their claim on the Dread Throne, another party had muscled their way back into the fold. Selika Roh, former Consul of Clan Plagueis and [[Herald]], had utilized her influence within the Dark Council and [[Shroud Syndicate]] to secure a return to the Dread Throne. She saw Plagueis as having grown weak since her reign due to inter-Clan conflicts and the betrayal of key figures that lead to the rise of the Phantom Assembly. With a desire to restore Plagueis to its former glory, Selika pushed for many changes within the Clan.

One of the first steps the Dread Lord took was a reorganization of the Clan Summit. Liandry was removed from the position of Dread Lord’s Wrath and replaced with [[Alaris Jinn]] in order to avoid any lingering loyalties to the former Dread Lord. In addition, the [[Clan_Plagueis#Overseer|Overseer]] position was abolished and the current Overseer, [[Tahiri Drakon Night-Thorn]], was placed in charge of House Tyranus as Quaestor. Finally, Selika appointed [[Qormus Aquila]] Quaestor of the newly formed House Ventress. The rapid developments within Plagueis’ command structure were met with mixed reactions, but the Clan did not have much time to adapt. Calls for aid from the Severian Principate and [[The_Tenixir_Revenants|Tenixir Revenants]] took priority as Plagueis took part in [[Rite of Supremacy: Escalation]].

During the Rite of Supremacy, Plagueis did not move as a united Clan. Instead, prominent members aligned themselves with various factions within the conflict as individuals. When the dust had settled, Plagueis’ contributions were notable, but they still lagged behind most of the other Clans in influence. Nonetheless, many Plagueis earned their accolades in the conflict and the Rite of Supremacy had successfully cooled much of the tension born from the transition of power. With no major conflicts visible on the horizon, the Clan could begin a smooth adjustment to the new era.

The Dread Lord took advantage of this calm to pursue another avenue of her agenda. Plagueis had made many enemies over the last few years amongst the other Clans, but Selika was eager to reverse that. Rather than seeing the Clans as adversaries, she was hoping to foster some potential goodwill that could pay off further down the road. She began contacting the other Clan heads and opening up diplomatic talks with the primary aim of forming alliances and support pacts. When next Plagueis found themselves backed into a corner, perhaps they would be able to rely on one of the other Clans to back them up. At the very least, it could prevent unnecessary conflict that would weaken Plagueis’ forces. The Dread Lord’s initial prospects were looking positive as a new age of Plagueian cooperation was in the making.

=== Restructuring and Ascension ===

{{Main|Fifteenth Great Jedi War}}

Plagueis as a whole was working outwardly to foster positive relations with other Clans in the Brotherhood, but within Plagueis things were a bit less cooperative. The newly formed House Ventress was proving a force to be reckoned with and House Tyranus was worried they may lose even more of the influence and control they once had. House Ventress had gained control of Battleteam Opress and they clearly weren’t intending to stop their progress any time soon. In an effort to balance the scales, Tyranus began to look into creating a Battleteam of their own.

Working with the Dread Lord, the Tyranus summit began to pull together the required assets to form the new unit. At the core of the Battleteam would be Sinya Ani, a recent defector from Opress who had recently been making a name for herself in the Clan. Battleteam [[Talzin]] came together quickly, quickly positioning themselves as rivals and opposites of Battleteam Opress. Satisfied with the results of their efforts, the Tyranus summit began working on fostering this new Battleteam while Ventress and Opress continued their exceptional upward climb.

After settling the House rivalry for the moment, the Dread Lord and her Wrath became much more elusive around Aliso; the former was rarely seen outside her chambers while the latter seemed entirely absent from Alisoan space. Rumors eventually began to circulate that Alaris had returned to Plagueis’ former homeworld: Jusadih. After he suddenly reappeared in Aliso City, these rumors gained more fervor as Plagueians began to wonder just what it was the Dread Lord’s Wrath had been up to.

For the time being, however, the Wrath’s mission would remain a mystery. Instead, the Clan’s efforts were drawn to the defense of their home. As the events of the [[Fifteenth Great Jedi War]] began, Aliso came under attack by members of [[The Children of Mortis]]. After a massive battle took place, mostly around Aliso City, the invaders were eventually repelled. As the Clan entered a period of recovery, it would once again experience a series of changes to the Summit. The Dread Lord’s Wrath, Alaris Jinn di Plagia, stepped down, as did the current Right Hand of Dread, Khryso Mallus. Qormus Aquila rose to become the new Proconsul of Plagueis, while Nora Olen, the current Aedile of House Ventress, became its new Quaestor. The Quaestorship of House Tyranus briefly fell to [[Raiju Kang]] before being taken up by [[TuQ'uan_Varick|TuQ’uan Varick di Plagia]]. Beyond that, Battleteams Talzin and Opress were also dissolved.

After the War, the Brotherhood as a whole had been left in an even more anxious and divided state. In an effort to find common ground among the Clans and continuing her long-standing directive to foster more positive relationships, the Dread Lord called for a summit on [[starwars:Cantonica|Cantonica]]. The Consuls of most of the Clans made their way to [[starwars:Canto Bight|Canto Bight]] alongside some of their clan members in order to discuss the Brotherhood’s current state.

=== The Canto Bight Accords ===
{{Main|Canto Bight Accords}}

In 40 ABY, [[Selika Roh]] convened a summit of the Brotherhood's Clans on the world of [[starwars:Cantonica|Cantonica]], in the city of [[starwars:Canto Bight|Canto Bight]]. The gathering brought together the Consuls of [[Clan Plagueis]], [[Clan Taldryan]], [[Clan Naga Sadow]], [[Clan Vizsla]], [[Clan Odan-Urr]], and [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to discuss the growing threat posed by the [[Children of Mortis]].

Negotiations between the Clans were tense, with long-standing rivalries and ideological differences threatening to derail the meeting. The summit was violently interrupted when forces aligned with the Children of Mortis launched a coordinated attack on the city, attempting to frame Clan Plagueis for the assault by deploying captured vessels broadcasting Plagueian identification codes.

The assembled Clan leaders ultimately uncovered the deception and repelled the attackers with the aid of their orbiting fleets. In the aftermath of the battle, the Consuls finalized an agreement known as the '''Canto Bight Accords'''. The treaty established a temporary non-aggression pact between the participating Clans and committed them to limited cooperation against the Children of Mortis. As part of the negotiations, Clan Plagueis pledged to abolish state-sponsored slavery within its territory through a gradual transition.

The accords marked one of the rare moments in Brotherhood history where multiple Clans formally agreed to cooperate against a common enemy.

'''Forged Alliances''' was a major conflict and political event within the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] storyline involving [[Clan Plagueis]] and [[Clan Tarentum]]. The event centered on the discovery of a powerful and ancient Force entity lurking within the depths of the Plagueian space station known as [[The Anchorage]], and the alliance formed between the two Clans to confront it.

The conflict culminated in the defeat and imprisonment of the entity within a Bloodstone, an act that solidified a political alliance between the two Clans and set the stage for subsequent cooperative efforts in the region.

==Background==

Following a series of unexplained disturbances and supernatural manifestations aboard the Plagueian station known as '''The Anchorage''', leadership within [[Clan Plagueis]] began investigating the possibility that a powerful dark side presence had taken root in the lower levels of the station. The phenomena included sightings of the former Plagueian operative '''Xander Drax''', who appeared to manifest and disappear throughout the station under circumstances that suggested a deeper and more ancient influence.

Seeking expertise beyond their own resources, [[Teylas Ramar]] and [[Selika Roh]] approached the leadership of [[Clan Tarentum]], a Clan known for its mastery of death-related Force practices and necromantic traditions. The meeting took place in secrecy aboard the Tarenti flagship ''Corsair'' within the Itaana asteroid belt.

Initial negotiations were tense, with Tarenti leaders questioning Plagueis’ intentions and sincerity. However, after the Plagueian delegation shared memories and evidence of the disturbances through the Force, Tarentum agreed to assist in confronting the threat. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

==Leadership Crisis in Clan Plagueis==

During the negotiations with Tarentum, events within [[Clan Plagueis]] reached a turning point. The acting Dread Lord, [[Vivackus Kavon di Plagia]], had begun suffering severe instability following his acquisition of a Miraluka body and the lingering influence of the dark forces within the Anchorage.

Confronted on Kamino by [[Tra'an Reith]], Vivackus ultimately relinquished his leadership after acknowledging that he was no longer capable of effectively guiding the Clan.

With no serious challengers emerging, leadership of Clan Plagueis passed to [[Teylas Ramar]], who assumed the position of Dread Lord while continuing negotiations with Tarentum.

==Investigation of the Anchorage==

After Tarentum agreed to assist, a joint expedition of Plagueian and Tarenti members began exploring the dangerous lower levels of the Anchorage. These areas had long been abandoned due to structural damage and powerful dark side energies that permeated the station.

During their investigation, Teylas Ramar, Tra’an Reith, and Scion Tarentae encountered a being capable of assuming the form of multiple individuals, including the deceased Xander Drax and fallen Plagueian soldiers. The entity demonstrated immense dark side power and suggested it had been feeding on the presence of those around it.

The encounter confirmed that the disturbances aboard the station were not the actions of Drax himself, but rather the manifestation of an ancient Sith aberration that had absorbed or appropriated his essence.

==The Bloodstone Ritual==

In order to defeat the entity, the Tarenti leadership located a rare Sith artifact capable of imprisoning dark side entities: a hidden Bloodstone. The artifact appeared to be a plain black stone until activated through a ritual that would draw the life force of the entity into the gem.

The ritual was ultimately performed by [[Teylas Ramar]] and [[Farrin Xies]], combining the power and knowledge of both Clans. Once activated, the artifact siphoned the entity’s essence into the gem and sealed it within the Bloodstone, neutralizing the threat.

==Aftermath==

Although the immediate threat aboard the Anchorage had been resolved, the fate of the Bloodstone itself became a matter of concern. Following the ritual and the sealing of the entity, the artifact vanished under mysterious circumstances, leaving both Clans uncertain as to its location.

Despite the lingering mystery, the operation marked the beginning of a formal alliance between [[Clan Plagueis]] and [[Clan Tarentum]]. The cooperation forged during the crisis laid the groundwork for deeper collaboration between the two Clans in later conflicts.

'''The Canto Bight Accords''' were a multilateral treaty signed in 40 ABY between several Clans of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] following the events of the [[Alliances]] summit on [[starwars:Cantonica|Cantonica]]. The agreement established a temporary framework of non-aggression and cooperation between the participating Clans in response to the growing threat posed by the [[Children of Mortis]].

The accords represented one of the rare occasions in Brotherhood history in which multiple Clans formally agreed to suspend hostilities with one another. The agreement was reached after a coordinated attack by Mortis forces attempted to sabotage a diplomatic summit in [[starwars:Canto Bight|Canto Bight]]. The attack demonstrated the vulnerability of the Clans when acting independently and helped persuade their leaders to accept limited cooperation.

==Background==

In the years leading up to 40 ABY, the Clans of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had suffered repeated attacks by the [[Children of Mortis]]. These assaults damaged multiple Clan territories and weakened several of their military forces. Despite the scale of the threat, the Clans remained divided by long-standing rivalries and political competition.

Seeking to address the crisis, [[Selika Roh]], Dread Lord of [[Clan Plagueis]], proposed a diplomatic summit between the Clans. The meeting was held in the city of [[starwars:Canto Bight|Canto Bight]] on [[starwars:Cantonica|Cantonica]] and brought together the Consuls of Plagueis, [[Clan Taldryan]], [[Clan Naga Sadow]], [[Clan Vizsla]], [[Clan Odan-Urr]], and [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].

The summit was disrupted by an attack orchestrated by the Children of Mortis, who attempted to frame Clan Plagueis for the assault by deploying captured ships bearing Plagueian identification signals. The assembled Clan forces ultimately repelled the attack and uncovered the deception, leading the Consuls to reconsider the need for cooperation.

==Terms of the Accords==

The Canto Bight Accords established a limited framework for cooperation between the participating Clans. The primary provisions included:

* A '''mutual non-aggression pact''' between the signatory Clans while the threat posed by the Children of Mortis remained unresolved.
* '''Coordination against the Children of Mortis''', including the possibility of military cooperation when necessary.
* '''Sharing of intelligence information''' related to Mortis activities and movements.
* '''Expanded economic cooperation''', particularly between Clan Plagueis and [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].

One of the most significant provisions of the agreement was the commitment by Clan Plagueis to abolish state-sponsored slavery within its territory through a phased transition. The pledge addressed long-standing objections raised by several Clans, particularly Odan-Urr and Vizsla, and was a key factor in securing their support for the treaty.

==Signatories==

The accords were signed by the Consuls of six Clans of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]:

* [[Selika Roh]] — [[Clan Plagueis]]
* [[Appius Wight]] — [[Clan Taldryan]]
* [[DarkHawk Sadow]] — [[Clan Naga Sadow]]
* [[Korvis]] — [[Clan Vizsla]]
* [[Revak K'Urr]] — [[Clan Odan-Urr]]
* [[Kamjin "Maverick" Lap'lamiz]] — [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]

Each Consul formally ratified the agreement through biometric authorization during the concluding session of the summit.

==Legacy==

The Canto Bight Accords marked a rare moment of unity among the Clans of the Brotherhood. Although the agreement did not eliminate the deep political rivalries between the Clans, it created a temporary framework that allowed them to focus their attention on the shared threat posed by the Children of Mortis.

The treaty also marked a major political shift within [[Clan Plagueis]], whose commitment to abolish state-sponsored slavery represented a significant change in its internal policies.

While the long-term stability of the accords remained uncertain, the agreement demonstrated that cooperation between the Clans was possible when confronted with an existential threat.

'''Alliances''' was a diplomatic summit convened in 40 ABY in the city of [[starwars:Canto Bight|Canto Bight]] on [[starwars:Cantonica|Cantonica]]. Organized by [[Selika Roh]], Dread Lord of [[Clan Plagueis]], the meeting brought together the Consuls of several [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] Clans in an effort to address the growing threat posed by the [[Children of Mortis]].

Although long-standing rivalries between the Clans initially hindered negotiations, the summit was violently interrupted by an attack orchestrated by the Children of Mortis. The attackers attempted to frame Clan Plagueis for the assault by deploying captured ships broadcasting Plagueian identification signals. Despite the chaos and destruction across Canto Bight, the assembled Clan forces ultimately repelled the attack.

In the aftermath, the Consuls negotiated a limited cooperative agreement known as the '''[[Canto Bight Accords]]''', establishing a pact of non-aggression between the participating Clans and a framework for cooperation against the Children of Mortis.

==Prelude==

Following a series of devastating assaults by the [[Children of Mortis]] across Brotherhood space, several Clans found themselves weakened and increasingly isolated. The [[Dark Council]] had offered limited direct intervention during the crisis, reinforcing the perception among some leaders that the Clans were largely responsible for their own defense.

Seeking a new approach, [[Selika Roh]] transmitted a private invitation to the Consuls of the Brotherhood proposing a summit to discuss coordinated action against the growing threat. The location chosen for the meeting was Canto Bight, a wealthy resort city on Cantonica known for its neutrality and discretion.

To minimize the possibility of escalation, each Clan was asked to bring only a single escort vessel. Selika herself committed to bringing only the Hynestian cruiser ''Resolution'' as a sign of good faith.

==The Canto Bight Summit==

Delegations from [[Clan Plagueis]], [[Clan Taldryan]], [[Clan Naga Sadow]], [[Clan Vizsla]], [[Clan Odan-Urr]], and [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] arrived in the Cantonica system and gathered at the Corusca Conference Center within the Canto Casino complex.

Negotiations between the Consuls quickly proved difficult. Decades of rivalry and mistrust between the Clans complicated efforts to establish cooperation. Among the most contentious issues was the continued use of slave labor by Clan Plagueis, which drew criticism from several leaders, particularly Appius of Taldryan and Revak of Odan-Urr.

While discussions continued on the surface, the escort fleets of the various Clans maintained a tense presence in orbit above Cantonica.

==Attack on Cantonica==

The summit was abruptly interrupted when a fleet of warships emerged from hyperspace in the Cantonica system. The vessels broadcast identification codes associated with Clan Plagueis and included several ships previously believed lost during earlier conflicts involving the Children of Mortis.

The fleet immediately launched starfighters and assault craft while system-wide communications were jammed. On the surface, dropships deployed soldiers disguised in Plagueian military gear who began attacking positions across Canto Bight.

Holonet broadcasts showing Plagueis insignia on the attacking ships led many of the assembled Consuls to suspect betrayal by Selika Roh. During the initial confusion she was detained by the other leaders as fighting spread throughout the city.

==Battle of Canto Bight==

Clan forces regrouped within fortified positions in the city, including the reinforced vault complex beneath the Canto Casino. During the fighting, Kamjin Lap'lamiz of Scholae Palatinae captured one of the attackers, whose body showed the distinctive crystalline corruption associated with the Children of Mortis.

The discovery revealed that the assault had been orchestrated by the Children themselves using captured ships and falsified identification signals to frame Clan Plagueis and sabotage the summit.

Selika Roh was subsequently released and assisted the other Consuls in interrogating the captured soldier. The interrogation revealed the location of the communications jamming equipment that had isolated the system.

A strike team led by Thran Occasus-Palpatine and accompanied by Plagueian death troopers assaulted the enemy communications hub hidden within the Canto Bight boathouse. After a fierce engagement with Mortis forces, the team destroyed the jamming equipment, restoring communications with orbit.

With communications restored, distress signals reached the Clan fleets. Reinforcements soon arrived, including warships from Naga Sadow and Taldryan, forcing the Mortis fleet to withdraw from the system.

==Aftermath==

Three days after the battle, the Consuls reconvened in the conference center to determine the future of their cooperation.

Despite lingering mistrust, the events at Canto Bight had demonstrated that the Clans could coordinate effectively against a common enemy. Selika Roh proposed a formal agreement known as the '''[[Canto Bight Accords]]''', establishing a non-aggression pact between the participating Clans and outlining possible cooperation against the Children of Mortis.

In order to secure support from the other leaders, Selika pledged that Clan Plagueis would abolish state-sponsored slavery within its territory through a phased process. The declaration addressed one of the primary objections raised during the summit.

After extensive debate, the Consuls of Odan-Urr, Vizsla, Taldryan, Naga Sadow, and Scholae Palatinae agreed to sign the pact. The agreement committed the Clans to refrain from direct conflict with one another while the threat of the Children of Mortis remained unresolved.

Although the treaty did not eliminate the rivalries that had long defined relations between the Clans, it represented one of the rare instances in Brotherhood history in which multiple Clans formally agreed to cooperate against a shared enemy.

{{quote|'''An illusion is always most effective when you’re showing someone what they want to see, what they expect to see.'''|Selika Roh}}
'''Selika Roh''' is a [[Sith]] [[EL3|Prophet]], [[Consul]] of [[Clan Plagueis]], and the former [[Herald]] of the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. Born during the waning years of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]], she grew up among the Noble Houses of [[starwars:Empress Teta|Empress Teta]]. Political upheaval following the Empire’s collapse led to the overthrow of the royal government during her youth and years of captivity that ultimately revealed her sensitivity to the [[starwars:Force|Force]]. Her search for training and purpose eventually led her to the [[One Sith]], and later to the Dark Brotherhood during the [[Dark Crusade]].

Following her defection during the Dark Crusade, Selika rose steadily through the ranks of Clan Plagueis and the wider Brotherhood. Known for her strategic insight, political maneuvering, and command of the dark side, she became one of the Clan’s most influential members. Her career eventually carried her beyond Plagueis itself to the [[Dark Council]], where she later oversaw the [[Shroud Syndicate]]. In time she returned to her home Clan, once again assuming leadership as Dread Lord of Plagueis.

== Biography ==
=== Early life (1 BBY - 5 ABY) ===
[[file:Selika_by_igloinor.jpg|thumb|left|145px|Selika at age 6 in 5 ABY.]]
Selika was born on the [[starwars:Deep Core|Deep Core]] world of [[starwars:Empress Teta|Empress Teta]] in [[25 BBY to 1 BBY|1 BBY]] in the waning days of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]]. Her father Lial Roh was the youngest scion of House Roh, one of the [[starwars:Ancient Houses|Ancient Houses]] and a prominent noble family on Empress Teta with roots stretching back thousands of years. The family, ascendent in the noble hierarchy under the rule of [[starwars:Darth Sidious|Palpatine’s]] Empire, was close to the throne and Lial held the position of [[starwars:Duke|Duke]]. Her mother, Nilan, was a member of House Methil and married Lial at a young age as part of an alliance between their two houses.

Born into the luxury of two noble houses, Selika’s early childhood was one of comfort. Like many nobles, however, she spent far more time in the care of nannies and various members of the house staff than she did her own parents. As a young child, she became close friends with Celes Maza, the daughter of her mother’s own [[starwars:Handmaiden|handmaiden]]. The servant girl would come to be assigned to Selika by the age of five to be trained as handmaiden herself. The bond forged at that young age would persist for years to follow. Given the highly stratified nature of Empress Teta’s society, the nobility rarely interacted with the commoners with House Roh being no different. A system that had persisted for thousands of years was, however, unprepared to cope with the collapse of Imperial Order, and Selika’s idyllic life would begin to crumble along with it.

=== Turmoil on Empress Teta (5 ABY - 14 ABY) ===
==== Fall from grace ====
While the Emperor’s death at Endor had a major impact on the Empire, it wasn’t until the Empire’s final military defeat at the [[starwars:Battle of Jakku|Battle of Jakku]] that the citizenry of the Empire truly comprehended that the end of the Empire had arrived. The terms of the [[starwars:Galactic Concordance|Galactic Concordance]] left Empress Teta crippled under crushing reparations and the citizenry increasingly held the ruling elite responsible. Two years after the Imperial surrender, the economy was still declining. A year after that, and the public’s backlash was becoming increasingly hard to ignore. House Roh, like its counterparts, was forced to liquidate much if it’s assets to put towards reparations payments in order to attempt to placate the populace.

The home that Selika had grown up in was sold and servants discharged. Moving into a smaller accommodation in the capital district, Selika’s world seemed to come crashing down. Her one constant was her handmaiden Celes. Her tutors gone, Selika began attending a school for the first time in her life. The exposure to those outside the nobility, many of them angry at the ruling class, served as a rude awakening. She was bullied constantly by other students, often reduced to tears by verbal and physical attacks. Soon, however, the simmering unrest of the population would move beyond bullying and boil over.

A growing populist movement was sweeping through the planet spanning city of Empress Teta. It had formed shortly after the end of the [[starwars:Galactic Civil War|Galactic Civil War]], but even in the economic chaos that followed it had not been more than an exceedingly vocal minority. The movement would explode in the latter part of [[0 BBY to 9 ABY|9 ABY]], however. In a move to grab more control of the planet’s [[starwars:Carbonite|carbonite]] industry, off-world banks withdrew loans to Korosian companies. This sent shocks throughout the planet’s economy that lead to an explosion of unemployment. Before the off world corporations could step in the economy completely collapsed. The last vestige of the old order would be gone within the year.

==== Prisoner ====
[[file:young_selika_by_karolding.jpg|thumb|150px|Captive of the Black Sun.]]
Known as the Crimson Night (named for the amount of blood spilled), the violence started in the early evening on the third day of the Festival of Life [[starwars:Fete Weeks|Fete Week]] in [[10 ABY to 19 ABY|10 ABY]]. Unemployed dockworkers began a march to the Capital Spaceport, but it soon degenerated into a riot. Many of the police and military units, themselves having not been paid for months, joined with the rioters as the chaos spread throughout the capital district. As night fell, the district descended into total anarchy. Selika’s family along with the Maza’s sought refuge in their home as the power grid failed and the city plunged into a darkness lit only by the fires set by rioters.

The rage that was fueled by a half decade of depression was especially directed at the ruling elite. Selika’s father, well known to the populace, was amongst those targeted. Nearly twenty men descended on the Roh home during the night, looking to exact revenge against one of the visible representations of their oppression. As the mob beat her father to death before Selika’s eyes, her mother and her handmaiden were shot as they tried to come to his aid by two members of the capitol police who had joined with the rioters. Selika and Celes ran to their dying mothers as the rioters tore through the home. Finally having had their fill, most returned to the streets to continue their rampage. Four, however, dragged the two screaming girls from the house and out into the night.

The dockworkers, seeking to improve their financial prospects, sold both girls to local representatives of the [[starwars:Black Sun|Black Sun]]. This would be the start of years of slavery and abuse for Selika and her former handmaiden. Initially, they were used as a laborer in the various criminal enterprises the Black Sun was involved in on Empress Teta. Four years of had taken their toll on the girls, and eventually one night Celes attempted to fight back against their captors. In the ensuing struggle, the guard snapped the former handmaidens neck. Selika, in the next cage over, saw that she would be the angry guard’s next target. Unlocking her cage, he grabbed her and threw her to the floor. As he continued, Selika looked into the dead eyes of her childhood friend. Tears welling up in her eyes and her emotions roiling, she manifested her first expression of latent [[starwars:The Force|Force]] ability. Telling the guard that the world would be so better without him, the man drew his own weapon and shot himself in the head. Her untrained, reflexive [[starwars:mind trick|mind trick]] had been enough to twist the mind of the drunken guard. Staring at him momentarily, she fled from the warehouse that had served as her jail and into the night beyond.

=== Familial exploitation (14 ABY - 21 ABY) ===
[[file:Tolcon_Roh_by_igloinor.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Tolcon Roh, Selika’s uncle.]]
The Empress Teta that Selika found herself lost in was considerably different from the one she had left four years earlier. The populist uprising had given way to an authoritarian government backed by the corporate powers. The [[starwars:New Republic|Republic]], more interested in the continued carbonite trade, had done little to stabilize the planet. As a result, a reality similar to what had existed before had developed. Now, the influential corporate players had replaced the nobility as the sector of society in control. The only hope Selika felt that she had was with her uncle, Tolcon Roh. He had been off world during the Crimson Night, and had always focused more on the family's business interests than his brothers. As a result, he had maintained his position within society when the revolution had come.

Tolcon sent an [[starwars:Airspeeder|airspeeder]] to collect his niece and bring her to his estate. Selika took little notice of the palatial home, still traumatized by her ordeal and confused by what had happened to allow her secure her freedom. Months of recovery and counseling followed as Selika tried to restore her shattered psyche. At first, she would not talk about what had happened the night of her escape. She hardly believed it herself, and had almost convinced herself that it had happened differently. Finally, she told her uncle what had happened that night. Tolcon was initially skeptical, but was well aware of the history of [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force sensitivity]] in the royal bloodline of Empress Teta. After finally accepting what his niece was telling him, Tolcon sought to help her develop her ability. A shrewd businessman, Tolcon knew how valuable skill with Force suggestion could be.

[[file:Selika_young_by_adagadegelo.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika in 17 ABY.]]
By the time she was 18, Selika was assisting her uncle in his business ventures. Her position offered Selika her first trip off-world, and she saw places like [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] for the first time. Soon, however, it became clear that she was as much a prisoner in her uncle’s care as she had been with the Black Sun. As her Force talents grew with more use, she began to access other abilities. As she shaped her skill to read others into true [[starwars:Telepathy|telepathy]], she eventually turned that ability on her uncle. Tolcon, in truth, saw his niece as nothing more than a tool to further his ambitions. To him, Selika had been broken by her ordeal, and, no matter how much she was able to hide it, she was totally dependent on his good graces.

Infuriated with how her supposed savior was infantilizing her, Selika realized she would have to escape her gilded cage as she had the Black Sun years before. Contrary to her uncle’s perception of her, Selika knew very well how to take care of herself, and what she would need to do so. Over the course of several weeks, she used her skills to manipulate members of Tolcon’s staff into setting up secret accounts and filling them with the credits she would need. When everything was in place, Selika wanted to confront her uncle with her intent to leave. She felt a visceral need to stand up to him instead of, as she saw it, running away in the night as she had from her criminal captors. Tolcon, however, showed his true colors when confronted by his niece. Still seeing her as the weak, broken girl she had been, Tolcon screamed at her, throwing Selika to the floor of the family study. Anger burning within her, Selika reached out with the Force and [[starwars:Telekinesis|lifted]] him from his feet by the neck. As Tolcon’s eyes widened in alarm as the true depth of his miscalculation became apparent, Selika jerked his head and snapped his neck. Dropping his dead body to the ground, Selika left her uncle’s home for good.

=== Pilgrimage into the Shadows (21 ABY - 25 ABY) ===
[[file:Selika_mid_by_jnetrocks.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika in 21 ABY.]]Selika Roh departed Empress Teta in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|21 ABY]] with little more than stolen credits, a false identity, and a power she barely understood. The galaxy she entered was one still attempting to settle after the fall of the Empire. The New Republic governed much of the [[starwars:Core Worlds|Core]] and Inner Rim, while vast stretches of the [[starwars:Mid Rim|Mid Rim]] and [[starwars:Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim]] remained contested by crime syndicates, warlords, and scattered remnants of Imperial authority. For Selika, the disorder of the era offered both opportunity and anonymity.

Her first years away from her homeworld were marked by cautious exploration. Traveling through the Mid Rim and the fringes of the [[starwars:Expansion Region|Expansion Region]], she survived by selling information, manipulating negotiations, and quietly inserting herself into criminal and corporate disputes where a subtle application of the Force could turn the outcome. Selika rarely remained in one system for long. Her past had taught her the dangers of attachment, and she cultivated the habits of a wanderer. During this time she began experimenting with her abilities beyond the simple manipulations her uncle had taught her. Through instinct and trial she learned to sharpen her awareness of others’ thoughts, gradually extending her abilities into deeper telepathic perception and more forceful acts of suggestion.

Selika’s travels increasingly brought her into contact with places touched by the lingering echoes of the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]]. On [[starwars:Moraband|Moraband]] she encountered the ruins of ancient temples abandoned long before the rise of the Empire. On [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]] she observed dark side cultists scavenging relics of the old Sith Empire that had once ruled the planet. Though she possessed little formal knowledge of Sith doctrine, Selika felt drawn to these remnants of the past. The anger and survival instinct that had defined her life resonated strongly with the dark side energies that lingered in such places. While she never fully committed herself to any cult or teacher during these years, she absorbed fragments of knowledge wherever she could find them, gradually shaping a personal philosophy that embraced strength, control, and emotional intensity as tools rather than weaknesses.

By the mid-twenties ABY Selika had become more confident in the use of the Force, but also increasingly aware of how little she truly understood. Rumors circulating in the underworld spoke of hidden orders of Force users scattered throughout the galaxy, remnants of traditions long thought destroyed. One such rumor eventually led her to a shadow network of dark side adepts operating quietly along the Outer Rim trade routes. Unlike the small cults Selika had previously encountered, this group appeared organized and disciplined, operating with a clear long-term purpose. They referred to themselves simply as the '''One Sith'''.

=== Joining the One Sith (25 ABY - 30 ABY) ===
[[file:selika_headshot_by_jnetrocks.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika in 26 ABY.]]

By 25 ABY Selika had grown confident in her command of the Force, though she remained aware that much of its deeper potential still eluded her. Through contacts in the criminal underworld she eventually encountered a hidden network of dark side adepts operating quietly along the Outer Rim trade routes. Unlike the scattered cults and relic hunters she had previously encountered, this group was organized and disciplined, pursuing a long-term vision for the resurgence of the dark side. They referred to themselves simply as the '''One Sith'''.

Though wary of authority after years of betrayal, Selika recognized the opportunity the Order offered. The One Sith provided guidance, knowledge, and a purpose beyond mere survival. In return she pledged herself to their designs, joining a covert network of agents working to expand the Order’s influence throughout the Mid Rim and Outer Rim.

Selika quickly proved effective in missions requiring manipulation and subtle influence. Drawing on her noble upbringing and growing mastery of the Force, she cultivated contacts among criminal syndicates, corporate interests, and scattered Force-sensitive communities while quietly advancing the Order’s broader objectives.

Among the groups closely studied by the One Sith was the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. When the [[Horizons|Horizons Crisis]] erupted in [[30 ABY]], the Brotherhood was struck by the Horizon plague even as Zoraan launched a coordinated assault against its Clans, Houses, and Antei itself. Selika worked from the shadows during the chaos, helping the One Sith exploit the confusion and observe how far the Brotherhood could be pushed toward collapse.

Although the Brotherhood ultimately survived—curing the plague and defeating Zoraan on Antei—the conflict left it weakened and uncertain of its future. For Selika and the hidden masters of the One Sith, the crisis proved that even powerful orders of Force users could be made vulnerable.

=== The Dark Crusade (30 ABY - 32 ABY) ===
====Disillusionment====
[[file:selika_by_jnetrocks.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Selika in 30 ABY.]]

When the [[Dark Crusade]] began in 30 ABY, Selika was assigned by the One Sith to oppose the advancing forces of the Dark Brotherhood. Operating as part of the Order’s intelligence and covert operations network, she was repeatedly dispatched to worlds that had become focal points of the conflict between the Brotherhood and the One Sith. Over the course of the war she found herself shadowing the movements of [[Clan Plagueis]], encountering their forces across multiple battlefronts including Nfolgai, Khar Delba, Ch'Hodos, Athis, Kalsunor, and Ziost.

At first Selika believed the campaign would prove the strength of the One Sith. The Order had long spoken of the Brotherhood as a fractured and declining power whose influence could be shattered with careful planning and decisive force. Yet as the conflict expanded across system after system, the reality she witnessed was far different from what she had been promised.

The Brotherhood’s armies did not collapse as anticipated. Instead, they fought with stubborn determination, adapting quickly to the shifting fronts of the war. Several of the Order’s operations faltered or collapsed entirely as Brotherhood forces pushed back against their enemies. For Selika, who had spent years serving the hidden designs of the One Sith, these setbacks forced an uncomfortable realization. The Order that claimed mastery over the galaxy’s future was proving capable of the same arrogance and miscalculation that had doomed so many Sith movements before it.

As the war dragged on, Selika began to question not only the competence of the Order’s leadership but also the philosophy that guided it. The One Sith spoke endlessly of unity and long-term design, yet their methods increasingly resembled the brutal expediency of any other dark side faction. Entire worlds were treated as expendable pieces in a wider strategy, and those who failed were quietly discarded.

By the time the campaign shifted toward Ziost, Selika’s faith in the Order had eroded. What she had once believed to be a rising power destined to reshape the galaxy now appeared to her as another order blinded by its own ambitions.

====Defection====
[[file:crusadeheroes.jpg|thumb|150px|The heroes of the Dark Crusade.]]
[[file:Selika_Aabsdu_by_megaween.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Learning blinding from Aabsdu Dupar.]]

As preparations for the final campaign on Ziost began in 32 ABY, Selika made a decision that would sever her ties to the One Sith forever. Having observed the Brotherhood throughout the conflict—particularly the warriors of Clan Plagueis—she had come to respect their resilience and discipline in a way she had never felt toward her own Order.

Rather than continue serving a cause she no longer believed in, Selika abandoned the One Sith and deliberately sought out the forces of Clan Plagueis shortly before their landing on Ziost. Her arrival was treated with immediate suspicion. A former enemy who appeared willingly in the midst of an ongoing war was an obvious security risk, and she was detained while the leadership of the Clan determined whether her defection was genuine or an elaborate deception.

Selika offered something few defectors could provide: knowledge. Years spent operating within the One Sith’s covert network had given her insight into the Order’s methods, command structure, and operational weaknesses. The intelligence she carried—along with the circumstances of her departure from the Order—ultimately convinced the leadership of Plagueis that her defection was real.

Though her loyalty remained under scrutiny, Selika was permitted to assist the Clan as the campaign for Ziost began. The information she provided proved valuable in countering several One Sith tactics during the final stages of the war, marking the beginning of her long and complicated association with the Brotherhood.

====Fading Light====
[[file:Selika2_by_talitapersi.jpg|thumb|150px|A lull in the fighting on Begeren.]]

Although Selika’s intelligence had proven valuable during the closing stages of the Dark Crusade, her position within Clan Plagueis remained uncertain. Many members of the Clan still viewed her as a former enemy whose loyalty had yet to be proven.

During the conflict known as [[Fading Light]], Selika continued to serve alongside Plagueis forces in several operations, gradually demonstrating both her reliability and her willingness to fight for her new allies. Rather than attempt to immediately claim influence within the Clan, she instead adopted a cautious approach—taking assignments where needed and allowing her actions to speak for themselves.

Her skills in deception, infiltration, and battlefield manipulation proved especially useful during reconnaissance and covert missions. Working closely with Plagueian warriors who had initially distrusted her, Selika slowly began to establish a reputation as a capable and disciplined Sith rather than a recent defector.

Between campaigns she also participated in security operations aboard the [[Tonus Anchorage|The Anchorage]]. Sections of the station that had long remained sealed or unexplored were found to contain hostile [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] that had survived within the abandoned corridors. Selika joined the teams tasked with clearing these areas and locating missing personnel, helping eliminate the creatures and secure the Anchorage as the Clan prepared to relocate it to the Aliso system.

By the time tensions within the Dark Brotherhood began escalating toward open civil war, Selika had earned a measure of reluctant respect within Plagueis. When the conflict that would become the Eleventh Great Jedi War erupted, she would enter it not as a recent defector, but as a member of the Clan fighting alongside its warriors.

====Korriban====
[[file:Selika_GMIT_by_karolding.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Fighting on Korriban in 32 ABY.]]

Selika later fought alongside Clan Plagueis during the Eleventh Great Jedi War on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], where the Clan aligned itself with the forces of Esoteric as the wider conflict escalated into a brutal civil war within the Dark Brotherhood. The campaign centered on Korriban and the Valley of the Dark Lords, where rival factions converged in pursuit of the rite that had drawn the Brotherhood’s leaders to the planet.

Within Plagueis, however, the campaign was complicated by internal division. Selika sided with [[Kz'set]] against [[Vivackus Kavon di Plagia|Vivackus]], judging the Clan’s alliance with Esoteric to be reckless and ultimately self-destructive. When Kz’set was sent on what appeared to be a suicidal assignment, Selika chose to accompany him. Their shuttle was attacked by the ''Transcendent'' before reaching the surface, but both survived the crash and regrouped with Plagueian forces still loyal to the Wrath.

As the battle on Korriban intensified, Selika fought beside Kz’set and his allies while the internal struggle within Plagueis erupted openly on the planet’s surface. During these operations she helped seize transport from enemy scouts, moved with Kz’set toward the Tomb of Ajunta Pall, and took part in the confrontation between the rival Plagueian factions outside the tomb. There, the feud between Vivackus and Kz’set culminated in open combat, ending with Vivackus’ defeat.

That victory proved short-lived. Esoteric had manipulated the conflict from the outset, using the division within Plagueis to weaken the Clan while pursuing his own goals on Korriban. When he finally revealed his hand, Selika and the surviving Plagueians found themselves subjected to overwhelming fire from above, leaving many dead or wounded in the Valley of the Dark Lords.

Selika survived the bombardment but was seriously injured during the attack. She was recovered by surviving Plagueian forces and withdrawn from the battlefield alongside the other remnants of the Clan as they attempted to regroup after the devastating defeat.

For Selika, the campaign on Korriban reinforced lessons she had already begun to learn during the Dark Crusade: hidden powers rarely valued loyalty, and survival often depended less on ideology than on recognizing betrayal before it was too late.

=== Ascendancy in Plagueis (33 ABY - 34 ABY) ===
==== Restoration ====
In the aftermath of the disaster on Korriban, Selika was among the Plagueian leaders left to rebuild what remained of the clan. With much of the Ascendant Fleet lost, the Anchorage under enemy control, and the clan’s command structure shaken, she became increasingly involved in the work of restoring Plagueis’ strength. During the campaign to reclaim the fleet and retake the Anchorage, Selika helped coordinate the clan’s recovery and emerged from the crisis with greatly increased standing among its leadership.

That growing influence was recognized early in 33 ABY when Selika was appointed [[Quaestor]] of [[House Ajunta Pall]]. The position gave her direct authority within one of the clan’s Houses and allowed her to begin building a more durable power base of her own inside Plagueis.

==== Forged Alliances ====
[[file:Selika_by_xalendra.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Tribune of the Holocrons.]]As the clan re-established itself aboard the Anchorage, Selika was drawn into the mounting crisis surrounding the station’s lower depths. Strange manifestations and unexplained disturbances forced the Plagueian summit to seek outside aid, and Selika accompanied the clan’s leadership in their secret negotiations with [[Clan Tarentum]]. Though relations between the two clans were marked by distrust, she helped secure the alliance that made a joint expedition possible.

Around the same time Selika’s influence extended beyond the clan itself. She was appointed [[Wiki Tribune|Tribune of the Holocrons]], granting her access to the [[Holocron Center of the Brotherhood]]. Selika used the position to deepen her knowledge of Sith lore and Brotherhood history, but also to strengthen her influence more quietly, leveraging privileged access to knowledge as another weapon in the political contests of both Plagueis and the wider order. Her growing stature was further acknowledged when she was named among the [[di Plagia]].

==== Haunted by the Dead ====
With Tarenti assistance secured, Selika played a role in the operations that pushed deeper into the Anchorage in search of the force haunting its lower levels. As Plagueian and Tarenti teams descended into the station, it became clear that they were dealing with something far worse than a simple haunting: an ancient dark side entity capable of assuming familiar forms and feeding on the living.

Selika helped direct the effort to contain the threat while the allied forces searched for a means to destroy it. That effort ultimately led to the use of a bloodstone to imprison the being and bring the crisis to an end. The success of the operation further strengthened Selika’s standing within the clan, and by late 33 ABY she had been elevated to [[Proconsul]] of Clan Plagueis.

==== Between Light and Dark ====
[[file:Selika_by_avionetca.jpg|left|thumb|150px|In battle on Florrum in 34 ABY.]]As Plagueis turned outward once more, Selika became increasingly active in the clan’s campaigns. During the assault on Athiss she arrived in time to capture the Arkanian Thrax Kolzaar after he had succeeded in warning [[Clan Odan-Urr]] of Plagueis’ attack. Though she had failed to prevent the transmission, Selika aggressively extracted its contents and confirmed that the enemy was already preparing its next defensive stand.

That intelligence fed into the campaign that followed on [[starwars:Florrum|Florrum]], where Selika took part in the clan’s pursuit of the Jedi and other undesirables. The fighting there further established her as one of the more formidable members of the Plagueian summit, trusted not only for intrigue and manipulation but for leadership during open conflict.

==== Journey to Aliso ====
[[file:Selika_pcon.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika as Proconsul to Teylas Ramar.]]When the remnants of Plagueis’ enemies fled into the Unknown Regions, Selika joined the hunt that ultimately led the clan to Aliso. There, as the Plagueian leadership discovered a massive hidden facility carved into a mountainside, Selika and Teylas Ramar divided their forces. While the Dread Lord led the frontal assault, Selika commanded the attack on the facility’s adjacent spaceport, ensuring that escape would be impossible.

With resistance crushed, Selika joined in the exploration of the structure and in the decision to make Aliso the clan’s new home. The discovery of the former Separatist prison complex gave Plagueis a defensible command center far from the reach of the Iron Throne, and Selika’s role in securing it further increased her value to the clan’s ruling circle.

==== Swift, Sweet Revenge ====
After Plagueis had begun to settle into its new stronghold, the clan suffered another sharp blow when the Ascendant Fleet was ambushed and heavily damaged by the Order of Vader. In the aftermath Selika helped keep the clan’s fury focused outward rather than inward, standing beside Teylas as Plagueis rallied what strength it had left and prepared its retaliation.

She took part in the invasion of Capis that followed, where Plagueian forces carried the war to the Order of Vader’s homeworld. Fighting alongside the clan’s leadership, Selika helped see the campaign through to victory. The destruction of the Order of Vader did not answer every question surrounding the betrayal that had enabled the attack, but it reinforced Selika’s position as one of the principal architects of Plagueis’ resurgence.

=== Dread Lord of Plagueis (35 ABY) ===
====Dark Ascension====
[[file:Selika_con.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Selika Roh, Dread Lord.]]Following years of maneuvering within the leadership of Clan Plagueis, Selika ultimately achieved the position she had long sought. With the departure of Teylas Ramar from the throne, she assumed the mantle of Consul and Dread Lord of the Clan, consolidating power within the summit and securing the loyalty of key figures within Plagueis’ military and political structure.

Selika’s ascension was not merely the result of circumstance. Years of careful planning and political calculation had positioned her to claim the throne when the opportunity arose, bringing the Ascendant Clan fully under her command.

====The Enemy Below====
Selika’s leadership was tested almost immediately after her ascension when an unexpected threat emerged beneath the clan’s new stronghold on Aliso. Strange activity beneath the Pinnacle eventually revealed the presence of a massive surviving [[starwars:Geonosian|Geonosian]] hive hidden within the planet’s subterranean caverns.

As the scale of the threat became clear, Selika ordered the full mobilization of Plagueis’ military forces, deploying the Ascendant Legion and every available defender to prevent the hive from overwhelming Aliso City. The battle quickly spread through the tunnels beneath the city as thousands of Geonosians surged upward toward the surface.

Recognizing that the hive could not easily be eradicated without catastrophic damage to the clan’s infrastructure, Selika instead descended into the tunnels with a strike force and confronted the Geonosian queen directly. There she forced the queen into submission, compelling the hive to acknowledge her authority. Accepting the ancient Geonosian title of Karina, Selika transformed the defeated hive into a subject population of Plagueis rather than destroying it outright.

Under her command the Geonosians were relocated to the southern continent of Aliso, where their labor and industrial expertise would be integrated into the clan’s expanding military infrastructure.

====War Approaches====
[[file:Selika_w_abadeer.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika with her Proconsul Abadeer Taasii.]]The battle beneath Aliso convinced Selika that Plagueis had been dangerously unprepared for a major conflict. Determined to correct this weakness, she began reorganizing the clan’s forces in the months that followed.

Working alongside her Proconsul [[Abadeer Taasii]] and [[Rollmaster]] [[Arden Karn|Arden Karn di Plagia]], Selika ordered a series of large-scale military exercises intended to improve coordination between the Ascendant Fleet and the clan’s ground forces. These war games emphasized rapid deployment, fleet readiness, and battlefield coordination across multiple theaters.

The training revealed several weaknesses within the clan’s command structure and logistics network, but by the time the exercises concluded Plagueis was far better prepared for the conflict that Selika increasingly believed was inevitable.

====The Twelfth Great Jedi War====

[[file:Selika_w_ronovi.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Selika sparring with Ronovi Tavisaen.]]

Selika’s preparations proved prescient when a new threat emerged within Brotherhood space. A former member of the order, [[The_Collective#Organization|Rath Oligard]], returned at the head of a powerful anti-Force coalition known as the Collective. Their campaign sought nothing less than the eradication of Force users across the galaxy, beginning with the Dark Brotherhood itself.

Despite Plagueis’ hostility toward the rule of [[Pravus]] and the [[Dark Council]], Selika recognized that the clan could not survive the conflict alone. When the Collective launched its campaign, she committed Plagueis to the wider war effort while maintaining the clan’s independence within the uneasy alliance.

During the early stages of the conflict Selika personally led a strike expedition to [[starwars:Nancora|Nancora]] aboard the Pelta-class frigate ''Abrogator''. Accompanied by several of Plagueis’ senior members—including Teylas Ramar, Ronovi Tavisaen, Arden Karn, and Laren Uscot—she sought to intercept artifacts attributed to Darth Plagueis before they could be secured by the Collective.

The mission quickly turned dangerous when the ''Abrogator'' emerged from hyperspace directly into an ambush by Collective forces. Enemy fighters and capital ships surrounded the Plagueian vessel, forcing Selika and her allies to fight their way free long enough to continue their operation. Despite the unexpected resistance, Selika pressed the mission forward, coordinating both the ship’s escape and the subsequent ground assault.

On the surface of Nancora, Selika led the strike team in locating the supposed artifact cache, only for the mission to confirm Ronovi Tavisaen’s suspicions that the operation had been a trap. After fighting through Collective resistance and discovering that the sought-after relics were not present, Selika ordered the team’s withdrawal before reinforcements could close in. The Plagueians escaped the planet under Brotherhood cover and returned to Aliso, where the failed expedition left Selika to reckon with both the cost of the mission and the limits of the intelligence on which it had been based.

== Appearance ==
=== Physical description ===
[[file:Selika_by_kaelacroftart.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika Roh.]]
Selika is a striking woman that stands just over average human height for a female. Selika's eyes are a deep violet color and are framed by her unruly, layered hair that falls just below chin length. Her hair is naturally dark black, save for a single lock of violet-dyed hair on the left side of her face.

Blessed with a lithe build, her movements are fluid and graceful. She carries herself with an almost regal bearing that many find off putting, but it is only an affectation designed to do just that. Her skin is an unblemished dark olive shade free of any scars or distinguishing marks.

=== Attire ===
[[file:Selika_sheet_by_mathiaarkoniel.jpg|thumb|150px|Various examples of Selika Roh’s attire.]]
Most often Selika can be found wearing a set of deep purple robes made of Ottegan silk. These robes are designed to show off her figure, which is a deliberate choice much like her manner. The robes consist of a stiff collared vest open from neck to navel. Unlike the tabard of a traditional Sith robe, this vest does not extend below the waist. Underneath the vest is a bodysuit of darker fabric that, like the vest, is open at the chest. Over both bodysuit and vest a skirt is gathered at the waist. The skirt is open at the front and extends to the ankle. The font of the skirt is made up of a separate panel of lighter paneled fabric of slightly shorter length. The robes are complemented by long, fingerless gloves that extend above the elbow and thigh high boots. This outfit is her usual choice for both everyday use and combat.

When a more formal look is called for, can be found wearing a strapless, ebon dresses made of expensive materials coupled with long gloves and knee high boots. When discretion is called for, Selika will wear more standard robes. A violet tabard and black hooded cloak are coupled with a dark, baggy shirt and breeches. Though infrequently enough to almost never happen, she can still be found from time to time wearing her older combat attire. Colored in shades of grey, it features an asymmetrical jacket that hangs from her left shoulder and extends down below the knee over a set of boy shorts and belt. The ensemble is complemented by thigh high boots and a pair of long gloves.

== Personality and traits ==
=== Personality ===
[[file:selika_by_lithana.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika Roh creating an illusory serpent.]]
Selika Roh is self-serving individual who, at her heart, is only out for herself. Power, glory, wealth, position, and anything that will make her life more comfortable is her goal. It matters little who might be caught in the middle, as long as the result is the further accumulation of power in Selika’s hands. She will lie, cheat, and kill anyone to attain her personal goals.

She has no particular objection to working with others or, for that matter, going it on her own. Her only interest is in getting ahead. Although she does not have the every-man-for-himself attitude of many other Sith, she has no qualms about betraying her friends and companions for personal gain. She is perfectly alright with betraying a family member, comrade, or friend if it is convenient to do so and it advances her agenda. she is personally indifferent to the concepts of self-discipline and honor, finding them useful only if they can be used to advance her own interests or gain power over others. The closest to loyalty she typically approaches is basing her allegiance on strength and ability alone and how much she may gain from allying with them.

She has little respect for the rule of law, and has no qualms about using laws to weaken those who stand in the way of her success. Additionally, if she must resort to breaking the law, she will. She has no real preference for either method beyond their possible efficacy in reaching her goals. She sees laws as tools to use against people, as well as their own sense of honor. Having no internal concept of personal honor, she never feels compelled to keep her word. Additionally, she will attack and kill an unarmed foe and has no issues with harming or killing an innocent. She takes no specific pleasure from killing, seeing it as one of many tools to use in the pursuit of her goals as opposed to a goal in and of itself. Selika will, however, often take pleasure in inflicting pain, either physical or mental, upon opponents.

=== Philosophies and beliefs ===
==== General ====
[[file:Selika_Aleema_by_Xelandra.jpg|thumb|175px|Selika's philosophy mirrors that of Aleema Keto.]]
Selika feels that the universe is governed by certain natural and manmade forces. If allowed to take their course, they will weed out the weak and useless in society. As such, the deserving should take advantage of this condition to further their own goals by any means possible, especially to destroy weaklings who put forward "good" actions to promote the wellbeing of all, which is just an excuse used to deny the deserving their due. In Selika’s eyes life is of no special value, for those who cannot take advantage of their superiority don't deserve it as they will only interfere with the rightful pursuits of those who do. This is especially true when it comes to the non-Force using populations of the galaxy. In her eyes, the multitudes have crushed those who touch the Force under their weight, preventing the Force users from taking their rightful place atop the galactic order.

====Governments====
Selika has very little respect for any of the current claimants to the mantle of pan-galactic governance. Her view of the Galactic Empire, and it’s successor state the First Order, is almost entirely shaped by her personal experiences following its collapse. While the Empire under Palpatine maintained order and backed the monarchy of Empress Teta, it had collapsed far too easily in the face of the threat posed by the Rebellion. The retreat of the military from the Core into the Unknown Regions just hastened the chaos that followed on Empress Teta which lead to Selika’s hellish years of captivity at the hands of extremists who toppled the government. In her eyes, the First Order is but the vestiges of a once proud system now governed by the heirs of cowards who fled when the fight started to get tough.

Selika holds the Republic, however, in almost equal disdain. The treaty ending their war with the Empire had left the remnants of Imperial space to the carrion feeders of the galaxy. The decade after their final victory over Jakku had not lead to the liberation of most of the Old Empire, but instead had seen the decay and despotism that spread there. More interested in maintaining continued trade than in the reality of the situation on Empress Teta, the Republic had done nothing when the extremists took over. They were content to allow the corporations to exert influence of the world that had allowed the festering underworld that had destroyed her childhood to progress unchecked. In the end Selika sees both the First Order and Republic as equally responsible for the hardships she endured, and sees both as corrupt entities run by weaklings who been undeservedly handed power by the masses.

====The Force====
[[file:Selika1_by_talitapersi.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika focuses on the mind affecting elements of the Force.]]
Selika’s views on the Force have been shaped by her exploration of the teachings of the Krath cult that dominated her homeworld millennia ago. She has sought out the teachings of the founders of the Krath, specifically those of Aleema Keto, as she has delved deeper into the Force over the course of her life. As a result, many of the long-dead Krath witch’s feelings on the Force have shaped Selika’s own. Restraint in the application of the Force is foreign to Selika as she tends towards flagrant or showy displays of power.

Unlike the Krath that held sway in the Brotherhood in recent times, Selika sees the Force as not something to be studied for the purposes of arcane knowledge. Instead the pursuit of arcane knowledge is simply one road to the true goal of the ancient Krath: domination. She eschews the more metaphysical schools of thought on the nature of the Force, seeing things like the interpretation the Force being a conscious entity shaping the galaxy as the worst sort of religious sentimentality. Much as galactic society would look down on primitive cultures that assigned religious motivations to natural forces such as electricity or gravity, so too does Selika look down on those that see the same in the Force. To her, the Force is just one more natural source of energy that makes up the physical universe. Those that can touch it and shape it to their will are simply making use of an evolutionary advantage that assigns them to a place of superiority over others.

====Non-Force users====
[[file:selika_by_olenaminko.jpg|thumb|150px|Force choking a non-Force user.]]
Selika views non-Force users, or as she calls them mundanes, as inherently inferior to those that can touch the Force. In her eyes, a Force user is a rare commodity. Whatever accident of genetics that brings about Force sensitivity can take generations to manifest itself in a mundane bloodline, all the while the mundanes breed like gizka. Even without the power that they wield, the Force user would be more valuable simply based on simple statistics. With their power, the Force user is exponentially more valuable than their non-Force using counterparts in her eyes.

This basic, underlying belief has lead to Selika viewing the lives of mundanes as less important or valuable than those of Force users. Expending massive numbers of the former to reach the goals held by the latter is a perfectly acceptable. What others would describe as senseless slaughter is something that Selika would see as being acceptable if for no other reason than one mundane is essentially interchangeable with the next. Her callous attitude towards them means that she has no compunctions about employing the murder of mundanes to further her own desires. It does not mean, however, that she takes direct pleasure in said killing. The pleasure she derives from any death directly flows from how that action advances her along the road to her destination, not from the murder itself.

== Powers and abilities ==
[[file:Selika_by_haonguyenly.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika employing force lightning and illusion.]]
Unlike many Sith, Selika focuses on a few aspects of the Force at the expense of more across the board skill. Favoring illusions and mental abilities over others, she has never fully developed much of the more physical Force skills. In some areas, like the healing arts, she shows no proficiency at all. Limiting her focus, however, has allowed her great ability but still greater knowledge in how to apply her skills than many others of similar power and skill.

=== Force powers ===
Selika’s most devastating ability lies in her knowledge and skill in powers such as illusion or mind trick. She has focused on these skills mostly because she feels that attacking the mind is the most direct path to the defeat of her enemies. In her eyes, those that spend much of their time training their physical abilities and Force powers to complement then (such as amplification) more often than not neglect powers of the mind. Their weakness can then be exploited when they oppose her, with her ability to destroy them from within can make their physical prowess irrelevant.

For times when she is confronted by those who have not neglected the mental battlefied, Selika has applied herself to the study of powers that allow her to engage her foes while still keeping herself seperated from them as she does with mental assaults. Initially, she devoted herself almost entirely to telekinesis in more physical combat situations. More recently, however, she has learned to harness the Force in such a way to employ Force lightning. She has demonstrated remarkable skill in the ability in a far shorter time than most of her others, a fact that she feels is due to the nature of Force lightning. Unlike other skills, there is a mental state that one must reach to project Force lightning. Selika’s great experience with mental manipulation has allowed her to better achieve this mental state and harness Force lightning at a level that is not often seen by one as inexperienced in its usage as she is.

=== Lightsaber abilities ===
[[file:Selika appearance.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika during the GMIT.]]
When Selika first learned to use the Force, she had no access to a lightsaber. Her reality lead to her mastering of the Force independent of the traditional weapon of the Sith and Jedi, and her feelings towards the blade were shaped accordingly. As she progressed and gained more experience with other Sith with the followers of Zoraan, she begrudgingly began to use a lightsaber. For many years she still saw the lightsaber as a secondary weapon, something whose use signaled a failure on her part to destroy her enemies with the Force alone. After her arrival in the Brotherhood, however, her view began to shift somewhat. Still viewing the saber with some amount of internal disdain, she has come to see it as another useful tool in her arsenal. Even now, though, she still favors the Force alone over her weapon when she can.

With her saber, Selika rarely goes for the quick kill to open combat. Her tendency is to maintain her Soresu-based defense to, ostensibly, wear down her prey. In reality, she is motivated as much by her desire to inflict pain and torture before finishing off her opponent. She will favor attacks whose goal is to be as painful as possible for mind or body before eventual death, using the taunts favored by Dun Moch to dominate her opponent. When her final strike does come, however, it will often be in the form of a swift and lethal application of Djem So.

===Other skills===
Many Sith and Jedi see the Force as a tool that can replace many of the more mundane abilities, becoming reliant on mind tricks instead of their innate ability to manipulate others for example. Selika instead feels that those abilities can make your talents with the Force even more useful. In keeping with her focus on those Force abilities that target the mind, Selika has developed her own mental prowess outside of the Force. She uses her sharp mind and perception to augment her Force ability. As a result, much like her Force abilities, she has not developed her physical skill to the same level that many of the more martially focused Sith have.

== Rivals ==
===Turel Sorenn===
{{quote|'''Monsters like you don’t deserve to live.'''|Turel Sorenn}}
[[file:Selika_vs_Turel_by_HalChroma.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika vs. Turel.]]
Selika and Turel Sorenn are, on the face of things, the most bitter of enemies. Originally crossing paths under the auspices of an intelligence gathering mission, Selika has always pursued a more personal goal when it comes to Turel: turning the Jedi to the Dark Side. She sees his personality type as ripe for corruption, with his time serving Arcona having left him uniquely vulnerable to her machinations. She feels that Turel would make a formidable Sith, and at the same time offer her invaluable information in regards to V'yr Vorsa, one of her most formidable rivals.

In their interactions, both on New Tython and during the Grand Master’s Invitational Tournament, Selika has gone to great lengths to break his spirit. She has engaged in the cold blooded murder of several citizens and law enforcement officers on New Tython as well as tricked Turel into killing an innocent as well, all in the name of destroying his devotion to the light. This campaign has spilled out into a larger conflict between their two respective clans as well, contributing to the conflict between them on Florrum in 34 ABY.
{{clear}}
===V’yr Vorsa===
{{quote|'''Selika Roh. You are under arrest for the murder of eight Council agents, two law enforcement officers, a father of two, and for assault and injury of a Council member of Clan Odan-Urr.'''|V’yr Vorsa, 33 ABY}}
[[file:Duel_on_New_Tython_by_g_matoshi.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika and Vorsa in combat on New Tython.]]
Selika maintains an adversarial relationship with the Neti councilor. This rivalry began with their overlapping fields of control of the Brotherhood (Selika as Tribune of the Holorons and Vorsa as Herald), but has grown beyond that. Selika felt that she had been appointed to the staff of the Herald as one of Vorsa’s magistrates specifically to keep an eye on the Jedi serving the Dark Council, a notion that has never been confirmed nor denied by others in the Brotherhood.

Beyond their more professional rivalry, the two have developed far more personal animosity from Selika’s interactions with Turel Sorenn. Turel, being one of Vorsa’s proteges, is something of an ongoing project for Vorsa, and Selika’s efforts to turn him fully to the dark side have not gone over well. Their first direct conflict came as a result of Selika’s assault on Turel in 33 ABY and lead to a large amount of collateral damage in Menat Ombo’s Visulu Marketplace. Their battle was ended before a satisfactory resolution due to Selika’s extraction by fellow di Plagia Aabsdu Dupar, so the tension between the two continues. Since then, Selika has attempted to work behind the scenes to sabotage Vorsa’s efforts, especially in operations to engineer the transit of undesirables out of Brotherhood space.

{{quote|'''An illusion is always most effective when you’re showing someone what they want to see, what they expect to see.'''|Selika Roh}}
'''Selika Roh''' is a [[Sith]] [[EL3|Prophet]], [[Consul]] of [[Clan Plagueis]], and the former [[Herald]] of the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. Born during the waning years of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]], she grew up among the Noble Houses of [[starwars:Empress Teta|Empress Teta]]. Political upheaval following the Empire’s collapse led to the overthrow of the royal government during her youth and years of captivity that ultimately revealed her sensitivity to the [[starwars:Force|Force]]. Her search for training and purpose eventually led her to the [[One Sith]], and later to the [[Dark Brotherhood]] during the [[Dark Crusade]].

Following her defection during the Dark Crusade, Selika rose steadily through the ranks of [[Clan Plagueis]] and the wider Brotherhood. Known for her strategic insight, political maneuvering, and command of the dark side, she became one of the Clan’s most influential members. Her career eventually carried her beyond Plagueis itself to the [[Dark Council]], where she later oversaw the [[Shroud Syndicate]]. In time she returned to her home Clan, once again assuming leadership as Dread Lord of Plagueis.

== Biography ==
=== Early life (1 BBY - 5 ABY) ===
[[file:Selika_by_igloinor.jpg|thumb|left|145px|Selika at age 6 in 5 ABY.]]
Selika was born on the [[starwars:Deep Core|Deep Core]] world of [[starwars:Empress Teta|Empress Teta]] in [[25 BBY to 1 BBY|1 BBY]] in the waning days of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]]. Her father Lial Roh was the youngest scion of House Roh, one of the [[starwars:Ancient Houses|Ancient Houses]] and a prominent noble family on Empress Teta with roots stretching back thousands of years. The family, ascendent in the noble hierarchy under the rule of [[starwars:Darth Sidious|Palpatine’s]] Empire, was close to the throne and Lial held the position of [[starwars:Duke|Duke]]. Her mother, Nilan, was a member of House Methil and married Lial at a young age as part of an alliance between their two houses.

Born into the luxury of two noble houses, Selika’s early childhood was one of comfort. Like many nobles, however, she spent far more time in the care of nannies and various members of the house staff than she did her own parents. As a young child, she became close friends with Celes Maza, the daughter of her mother’s own [[starwars:Handmaiden|handmaiden]]. The servant girl would come to be assigned to Selika by the age of five to be trained as handmaiden herself. The bond forged at that young age would persist for years to follow. Given the highly stratified nature of Empress Teta’s society, the nobility rarely interacted with the commoners with House Roh being no different. A system that had persisted for thousands of years was, however, unprepared to cope with the collapse of Imperial Order, and Selika’s idyllic life would begin to crumble along with it.

=== Turmoil on Empress Teta (5 ABY - 14 ABY) ===
==== Fall from grace ====
While the Emperor’s death at Endor had a major impact on the Empire, it wasn’t until the Empire’s final military defeat at the [[starwars:Battle of Jakku|Battle of Jakku]] that the citizenry of the Empire truly comprehended that the end of the Empire had arrived. The terms of the [[starwars:Galactic Concordance|Galactic Concordance]] left Empress Teta crippled under crushing reparations and the citizenry increasingly held the ruling elite responsible. Two years after the Imperial surrender, the economy was still declining. A year after that, and the public’s backlash was becoming increasingly hard to ignore. House Roh, like its counterparts, was forced to liquidate much if it’s assets to put towards reparations payments in order to attempt to placate the populace.

The home that Selika had grown up in was sold and servants discharged. Moving into a smaller accommodation in the capital district, Selika’s world seemed to come crashing down. Her one constant was her handmaiden Celes. Her tutors gone, Selika began attending a school for the first time in her life. The exposure to those outside the nobility, many of them angry at the ruling class, served as a rude awakening. She was bullied constantly by other students, often reduced to tears by verbal and physical attacks. Soon, however, the simmering unrest of the population would move beyond bullying and boil over.

A growing populist movement was sweeping through the planet spanning city of Empress Teta. It had formed shortly after the end of the [[starwars:Galactic Civil War|Galactic Civil War]], but even in the economic chaos that followed it had not been more than an exceedingly vocal minority. The movement would explode in the latter part of [[0 BBY to 9 ABY|9 ABY]], however. In a move to grab more control of the planet’s [[starwars:Carbonite|carbonite]] industry, off-world banks withdrew loans to Korosian companies. This sent shocks throughout the planet’s economy that lead to an explosion of unemployment. Before the off world corporations could step in the economy completely collapsed. The last vestige of the old order would be gone within the year.

==== Prisoner ====
[[file:young_selika_by_karolding.jpg|thumb|150px|Captive of the Black Sun.]]
Known as the Crimson Night (named for the amount of blood spilled), the violence started in the early evening on the third day of the Festival of Life [[starwars:Fete Weeks|Fete Week]] in [[10 ABY to 19 ABY|10 ABY]]. Unemployed dockworkers began a march to the Capital Spaceport, but it soon degenerated into a riot. Many of the police and military units, themselves having not been paid for months, joined with the rioters as the chaos spread throughout the capital district. As night fell, the district descended into total anarchy. Selika’s family along with the Maza’s sought refuge in their home as the power grid failed and the city plunged into a darkness lit only by the fires set by rioters.

The rage that was fueled by a half decade of depression was especially directed at the ruling elite. Selika’s father, well known to the populace, was amongst those targeted. Nearly twenty men descended on the Roh home during the night, looking to exact revenge against one of the visible representations of their oppression. As the mob beat her father to death before Selika’s eyes, her mother and her handmaiden were shot as they tried to come to his aid by two members of the capitol police who had joined with the rioters. Selika and Celes ran to their dying mothers as the rioters tore through the home. Finally having had their fill, most returned to the streets to continue their rampage. Four, however, dragged the two screaming girls from the house and out into the night.

The dockworkers, seeking to improve their financial prospects, sold both girls to local representatives of the [[starwars:Black Sun|Black Sun]]. This would be the start of years of slavery and abuse for Selika and her former handmaiden. Initially, they were used as a laborer in the various criminal enterprises the Black Sun was involved in on Empress Teta. Four years of had taken their toll on the girls, and eventually one night Celes attempted to fight back against their captors. In the ensuing struggle, the guard snapped the former handmaidens neck. Selika, in the next cage over, saw that she would be the angry guard’s next target. Unlocking her cage, he grabbed her and threw her to the floor. As he continued, Selika looked into the dead eyes of her childhood friend. Tears welling up in her eyes and her emotions roiling, she manifested her first expression of latent [[starwars:The Force|Force]] ability. Telling the guard that the world would be so better without him, the man drew his own weapon and shot himself in the head. Her untrained, reflexive [[starwars:mind trick|mind trick]] had been enough to twist the mind of the drunken guard. Staring at him momentarily, she fled from the warehouse that had served as her jail and into the night beyond.

=== Familial exploitation (14 ABY - 21 ABY) ===
[[file:Tolcon_Roh_by_igloinor.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Tolcon Roh, Selika’s uncle.]]
The Empress Teta that Selika found herself lost in was considerably different from the one she had left four years earlier. The populist uprising had given way to an authoritarian government backed by the corporate powers. The [[starwars:New Republic|Republic]], more interested in the continued carbonite trade, had done little to stabilize the planet. As a result, a reality similar to what had existed before had developed. Now, the influential corporate players had replaced the nobility as the sector of society in control. The only hope Selika felt that she had was with her uncle, Tolcon Roh. He had been off world during the Crimson Night, and had always focused more on the family's business interests than his brothers. As a result, he had maintained his position within society when the revolution had come.

Tolcon sent an [[starwars:Airspeeder|airspeeder]] to collect his niece and bring her to his estate. Selika took little notice of the palatial home, still traumatized by her ordeal and confused by what had happened to allow her secure her freedom. Months of recovery and counseling followed as Selika tried to restore her shattered psyche. At first, she would not talk about what had happened the night of her escape. She hardly believed it herself, and had almost convinced herself that it had happened differently. Finally, she told her uncle what had happened that night. Tolcon was initially skeptical, but was well aware of the history of [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force sensitivity]] in the royal bloodline of Empress Teta. After finally accepting what his niece was telling him, Tolcon sought to help her develop her ability. A shrewd businessman, Tolcon knew how valuable skill with Force suggestion could be.

[[file:Selika_young_by_adagadegelo.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika in 17 ABY.]]
By the time she was 18, Selika was assisting her uncle in his business ventures. Her position offered Selika her first trip off-world, and she saw places like [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] for the first time. Soon, however, it became clear that she was as much a prisoner in her uncle’s care as she had been with the Black Sun. As her Force talents grew with more use, she began to access other abilities. As she shaped her skill to read others into true [[starwars:Telepathy|telepathy]], she eventually turned that ability on her uncle. Tolcon, in truth, saw his niece as nothing more than a tool to further his ambitions. To him, Selika had been broken by her ordeal, and, no matter how much she was able to hide it, she was totally dependent on his good graces.

Infuriated with how her supposed savior was infantilizing her, Selika realized she would have to escape her gilded cage as she had the Black Sun years before. Contrary to her uncle’s perception of her, Selika knew very well how to take care of herself, and what she would need to do so. Over the course of several weeks, she used her skills to manipulate members of Tolcon’s staff into setting up secret accounts and filling them with the credits she would need. When everything was in place, Selika wanted to confront her uncle with her intent to leave. She felt a visceral need to stand up to him instead of, as she saw it, running away in the night as she had from her criminal captors. Tolcon, however, showed his true colors when confronted by his niece. Still seeing her as the weak, broken girl she had been, Tolcon screamed at her, throwing Selika to the floor of the family study. Anger burning within her, Selika reached out with the Force and [[starwars:Telekinesis|lifted]] him from his feet by the neck. As Tolcon’s eyes widened in alarm as the true depth of his miscalculation became apparent, Selika jerked his head and snapped his neck. Dropping his dead body to the ground, Selika left her uncle’s home for good.

=== Pilgrimage into the Shadows (21 ABY - 25 ABY) ===
[[file:Selika_mid_by_jnetrocks.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika in 21 ABY.]]Selika Roh departed Empress Teta in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|21 ABY]] with little more than stolen credits, a false identity, and a power she barely understood. The galaxy she entered was one still attempting to settle after the fall of the Empire. The New Republic governed much of the [[starwars:Core Worlds|Core]] and Inner Rim, while vast stretches of the [[starwars:Mid Rim|Mid Rim]] and [[starwars:Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim]] remained contested by crime syndicates, warlords, and scattered remnants of Imperial authority. For Selika, the disorder of the era offered both opportunity and anonymity.

Her first years away from her homeworld were marked by cautious exploration. Traveling through the Mid Rim and the fringes of the [[starwars:Expansion Region|Expansion Region]], she survived by selling information, manipulating negotiations, and quietly inserting herself into criminal and corporate disputes where a subtle application of the Force could turn the outcome. Selika rarely remained in one system for long. Her past had taught her the dangers of attachment, and she cultivated the habits of a wanderer. During this time she began experimenting with her abilities beyond the simple manipulations her uncle had taught her. Through instinct and trial she learned to sharpen her awareness of others’ thoughts, gradually extending her abilities into deeper telepathic perception and more forceful acts of suggestion.

Selika’s travels increasingly brought her into contact with places touched by the lingering echoes of the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]]. On [[starwars:Moraband|Moraband]] she encountered the ruins of ancient temples abandoned long before the rise of the Empire. On [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]] she observed dark side cultists scavenging relics of the old Sith Empire that had once ruled the planet. Though she possessed little formal knowledge of Sith doctrine, Selika felt drawn to these remnants of the past. The anger and survival instinct that had defined her life resonated strongly with the dark side energies that lingered in such places. While she never fully committed herself to any cult or teacher during these years, she absorbed fragments of knowledge wherever she could find them, gradually shaping a personal philosophy that embraced strength, control, and emotional intensity as tools rather than weaknesses.

By the mid-twenties ABY Selika had become more confident in the use of the Force, but also increasingly aware of how little she truly understood. Rumors circulating in the underworld spoke of hidden orders of Force users scattered throughout the galaxy, remnants of traditions long thought destroyed. One such rumor eventually led her to a shadow network of dark side adepts operating quietly along the Outer Rim trade routes. Unlike the small cults Selika had previously encountered, this group appeared organized and disciplined, operating with a clear long-term purpose. They referred to themselves simply as the '''One Sith'''.

=== Joining the One Sith (25 ABY - 30 ABY) ===
[[file:selika_headshot_by_jnetrocks.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika in 26 ABY.]]

By 25 ABY Selika had grown confident in her command of the Force, though she remained aware that much of its deeper potential still eluded her. Through contacts in the criminal underworld she eventually encountered a hidden network of dark side adepts operating quietly along the Outer Rim trade routes. Unlike the scattered cults and relic hunters she had previously encountered, this group was organized and disciplined, pursuing a long-term vision for the resurgence of the dark side. They referred to themselves simply as the '''One Sith'''.

Though wary of authority after years of betrayal, Selika recognized the opportunity the Order offered. The One Sith provided guidance, knowledge, and a purpose beyond mere survival. In return she pledged herself to their designs, joining a covert network of agents working to expand the Order’s influence throughout the Mid Rim and Outer Rim.

Selika quickly proved effective in missions requiring manipulation and subtle influence. Drawing on her noble upbringing and growing mastery of the Force, she cultivated contacts among criminal syndicates, corporate interests, and scattered Force-sensitive communities while quietly advancing the Order’s broader objectives.

Among the groups closely studied by the One Sith was the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. When the [[Horizons|Horizons Crisis]] erupted in [[30 ABY]], the Brotherhood was struck by the Horizon plague even as Zoraan launched a coordinated assault against its Clans, Houses, and Antei itself. Selika worked from the shadows during the chaos, helping the One Sith exploit the confusion and observe how far the Brotherhood could be pushed toward collapse.

Although the Brotherhood ultimately survived—curing the plague and defeating Zoraan on Antei—the conflict left it weakened and uncertain of its future. For Selika and the hidden masters of the One Sith, the crisis proved that even powerful orders of Force users could be made vulnerable.

=== The Dark Crusade (30 ABY - 32 ABY) ===
====Disillusionment====
[[file:selika_by_jnetrocks.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Selika in 30 ABY.]]

When the [[Dark Crusade]] began in 30 ABY, Selika was assigned by the One Sith to oppose the advancing forces of the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. Operating as part of the Order’s intelligence and covert operations network, she was repeatedly dispatched to worlds that had become focal points of the conflict between the Brotherhood and the One Sith. Over the course of the war she found herself shadowing the movements of [[Clan Plagueis]], encountering their forces across multiple battlefronts including Nfolgai, Khar Delba, Ch'Hodos, Athis, Kalsunor, and Ziost.

At first Selika believed the campaign would prove the strength of the One Sith. The Order had long spoken of the Brotherhood as a fractured and declining power whose influence could be shattered with careful planning and decisive force. Yet as the conflict expanded across system after system, the reality she witnessed was far different from what she had been promised.

The Brotherhood’s armies did not collapse as anticipated. Instead, they fought with stubborn determination, adapting quickly to the shifting fronts of the war. Several of the Order’s operations faltered or collapsed entirely as Brotherhood forces pushed back against their enemies. For Selika, who had spent years serving the hidden designs of the One Sith, these setbacks forced an uncomfortable realization. The Order that claimed mastery over the galaxy’s future was proving capable of the same arrogance and miscalculation that had doomed so many Sith movements before it.

As the war dragged on, Selika began to question not only the competence of the Order’s leadership but also the philosophy that guided it. The One Sith spoke endlessly of unity and long-term design, yet their methods increasingly resembled the brutal expediency of any other dark side faction. Entire worlds were treated as expendable pieces in a wider strategy, and those who failed were quietly discarded.

By the time the campaign shifted toward Ziost, Selika’s faith in the Order had eroded. What she had once believed to be a rising power destined to reshape the galaxy now appeared to her as another order blinded by its own ambitions.

====Defection====
[[file:crusadeheroes.jpg|thumb|150px|The heroes of the Dark Crusade.]]
[[file:Selika_Aabsdu_by_megaween.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Learning blinding from Aabsdu Dupar.]]

As preparations for the final campaign on Ziost began in 32 ABY, Selika made a decision that would sever her ties to the One Sith forever. Having observed the Brotherhood throughout the conflict—particularly the warriors of Clan Plagueis—she had come to respect their resilience and discipline in a way she had never felt toward her own Order.

Rather than continue serving a cause she no longer believed in, Selika abandoned the One Sith and deliberately sought out the forces of Clan Plagueis shortly before their landing on Ziost. Her arrival was treated with immediate suspicion. A former enemy who appeared willingly in the midst of an ongoing war was an obvious security risk, and she was detained while the leadership of the Clan determined whether her defection was genuine or an elaborate deception.

Selika offered something few defectors could provide: knowledge. Years spent operating within the One Sith’s covert network had given her insight into the Order’s methods, command structure, and operational weaknesses. The intelligence she carried—along with the circumstances of her departure from the Order—ultimately convinced the leadership of Plagueis that her defection was real.

Though her loyalty remained under scrutiny, Selika was permitted to assist the Clan as the campaign for Ziost began. The information she provided proved valuable in countering several One Sith tactics during the final stages of the war, marking the beginning of her long and complicated association with the Brotherhood.

====Fading Light====
[[file:Selika2_by_talitapersi.jpg|thumb|150px|A lull in the fighting on Begeren.]]

Although Selika’s intelligence had proven valuable during the closing stages of the Dark Crusade, her position within Clan Plagueis remained uncertain. Many members of the Clan still viewed her as a former enemy whose loyalty had yet to be proven.

During the conflict known as [[Fading Light]], Selika continued to serve alongside Plagueis forces in several operations, gradually demonstrating both her reliability and her willingness to fight for her new allies. Rather than attempt to immediately claim influence within the Clan, she instead adopted a cautious approach—taking assignments where needed and allowing her actions to speak for themselves.

Her skills in deception, infiltration, and battlefield manipulation proved especially useful during reconnaissance and covert missions. Working closely with Plagueian warriors who had initially distrusted her, Selika slowly began to establish a reputation as a capable and disciplined Sith rather than a recent defector.

Between campaigns she also participated in security operations aboard the [[Tonus Anchorage|The Anchorage]]. Sections of the station that had long remained sealed or unexplored were found to contain hostile [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] that had survived within the abandoned corridors. Selika joined the teams tasked with clearing these areas and locating missing personnel, helping eliminate the creatures and secure the Anchorage as the Clan prepared to relocate it to the Aliso system.

By the time tensions within the Dark Brotherhood began escalating toward open civil war, Selika had earned a measure of reluctant respect within Plagueis. When the conflict that would become the Eleventh Great Jedi War erupted, she would enter it not as a recent defector, but as a member of the Clan fighting alongside its warriors.

====Korriban====
[[file:Selika_GMIT_by_karolding.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Fighting on Korriban in 32 ABY.]]

Selika later fought alongside Clan Plagueis during the Eleventh Great Jedi War on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], where the Clan aligned itself with the forces of Esoteric as the wider conflict escalated into a brutal civil war within the Dark Brotherhood. The campaign centered on Korriban and the Valley of the Dark Lords, where rival factions converged in pursuit of the rite that had drawn the Brotherhood’s leaders to the planet.

Within Plagueis, however, the campaign was complicated by internal division. Selika sided with [[Kz'set]] against [[Vivackus Kavon di Plagia|Vivackus]], judging the Clan’s alliance with Esoteric to be reckless and ultimately self-destructive. When Kz’set was sent on what appeared to be a suicidal assignment, Selika chose to accompany him. Their shuttle was attacked by the ''Transcendent'' before reaching the surface, but both survived the crash and regrouped with Plagueian forces still loyal to the Wrath.

As the battle on Korriban intensified, Selika fought beside Kz’set and his allies while the internal struggle within Plagueis erupted openly on the planet’s surface. During these operations she helped seize transport from enemy scouts, moved with Kz’set toward the Tomb of Ajunta Pall, and took part in the confrontation between the rival Plagueian factions outside the tomb. There, the feud between Vivackus and Kz’set culminated in open combat, ending with Vivackus’ defeat.

That victory proved short-lived. Esoteric had manipulated the conflict from the outset, using the division within Plagueis to weaken the Clan while pursuing his own goals on Korriban. When he finally revealed his hand, Selika and the surviving Plagueians found themselves subjected to overwhelming fire from above, leaving many dead or wounded in the Valley of the Dark Lords.

Selika survived the bombardment but was seriously injured during the attack. She was recovered by surviving Plagueian forces and withdrawn from the battlefield alongside the other remnants of the Clan as they attempted to regroup after the devastating defeat.

For Selika, the campaign on Korriban reinforced lessons she had already begun to learn during the Dark Crusade: hidden powers rarely valued loyalty, and survival often depended less on ideology than on recognizing betrayal before it was too late.

{{clear}}
== Appearance ==
=== Physical description ===
[[file:Selika_by_kaelacroftart.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika Roh.]]
Selika is a striking woman that stands just over average human height for a female. Selika's eyes are a deep violet color and are framed by her unruly, layered hair that falls just below chin length. Her hair is naturally dark black, save for a single lock of violet-dyed hair on the left side of her face.

Blessed with a lithe build, her movements are fluid and graceful. She carries herself with an almost regal bearing that many find off putting, but it is only an affectation designed to do just that. Her skin is an unblemished dark olive shade free of any scars or distinguishing marks.

=== Attire ===
[[file:Selika_sheet_by_mathiaarkoniel.jpg|thumb|150px|Various examples of Selika Roh’s attire.]]
Most often Selika can be found wearing a set of deep purple robes made of Ottegan silk. These robes are designed to show off her figure, which is a deliberate choice much like her manner. The robes consist of a stiff collared vest open from neck to navel. Unlike the tabard of a traditional Sith robe, this vest does not extend below the waist. Underneath the vest is a bodysuit of darker fabric that, like the vest, is open at the chest. Over both bodysuit and vest a skirt is gathered at the waist. The skirt is open at the front and extends to the ankle. The font of the skirt is made up of a separate panel of lighter paneled fabric of slightly shorter length. The robes are complemented by long, fingerless gloves that extend above the elbow and thigh high boots. This outfit is her usual choice for both everyday use and combat.

When a more formal look is called for, can be found wearing a strapless, ebon dresses made of expensive materials coupled with long gloves and knee high boots. When discretion is called for, Selika will wear more standard robes. A violet tabard and black hooded cloak are coupled with a dark, baggy shirt and breeches. Though infrequently enough to almost never happen, she can still be found from time to time wearing her older combat attire. Colored in shades of grey, it features an asymmetrical jacket that hangs from her left shoulder and extends down below the knee over a set of boy shorts and belt. The ensemble is complemented by thigh high boots and a pair of long gloves.

== Personality and traits ==
=== Personality ===
[[file:selika_by_lithana.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika Roh creating an illusory serpent.]]
Selika Roh is self-serving individual who, at her heart, is only out for herself. Power, glory, wealth, position, and anything that will make her life more comfortable is her goal. It matters little who might be caught in the middle, as long as the result is the further accumulation of power in Selika’s hands. She will lie, cheat, and kill anyone to attain her personal goals.

She has no particular objection to working with others or, for that matter, going it on her own. Her only interest is in getting ahead. Although she does not have the every-man-for-himself attitude of many other Sith, she has no qualms about betraying her friends and companions for personal gain. She is perfectly alright with betraying a family member, comrade, or friend if it is convenient to do so and it advances her agenda. she is personally indifferent to the concepts of self-discipline and honor, finding them useful only if they can be used to advance her own interests or gain power over others. The closest to loyalty she typically approaches is basing her allegiance on strength and ability alone and how much she may gain from allying with them.

She has little respect for the rule of law, and has no qualms about using laws to weaken those who stand in the way of her success. Additionally, if she must resort to breaking the law, she will. She has no real preference for either method beyond their possible efficacy in reaching her goals. She sees laws as tools to use against people, as well as their own sense of honor. Having no internal concept of personal honor, she never feels compelled to keep her word. Additionally, she will attack and kill an unarmed foe and has no issues with harming or killing an innocent. She takes no specific pleasure from killing, seeing it as one of many tools to use in the pursuit of her goals as opposed to a goal in and of itself. Selika will, however, often take pleasure in inflicting pain, either physical or mental, upon opponents.

=== Philosophies and beliefs ===
==== General ====
[[file:Selika_Aleema_by_Xelandra.jpg|thumb|175px|Selika's philosophy mirrors that of Aleema Keto.]]
Selika feels that the universe is governed by certain natural and manmade forces. If allowed to take their course, they will weed out the weak and useless in society. As such, the deserving should take advantage of this condition to further their own goals by any means possible, especially to destroy weaklings who put forward "good" actions to promote the wellbeing of all, which is just an excuse used to deny the deserving their due. In Selika’s eyes life is of no special value, for those who cannot take advantage of their superiority don't deserve it as they will only interfere with the rightful pursuits of those who do. This is especially true when it comes to the non-Force using populations of the galaxy. In her eyes, the multitudes have crushed those who touch the Force under their weight, preventing the Force users from taking their rightful place atop the galactic order.

====Governments====
Selika has very little respect for any of the current claimants to the mantle of pan-galactic governance. Her view of the Galactic Empire, and it’s successor state the First Order, is almost entirely shaped by her personal experiences following its collapse. While the Empire under Palpatine maintained order and backed the monarchy of Empress Teta, it had collapsed far too easily in the face of the threat posed by the Rebellion. The retreat of the military from the Core into the Unknown Regions just hastened the chaos that followed on Empress Teta which lead to Selika’s hellish years of captivity at the hands of extremists who toppled the government. In her eyes, the First Order is but the vestiges of a once proud system now governed by the heirs of cowards who fled when the fight started to get tough.

Selika holds the Republic, however, in almost equal disdain. The treaty ending their war with the Empire had left the remnants of Imperial space to the carrion feeders of the galaxy. The decade after their final victory over Jakku had not lead to the liberation of most of the Old Empire, but instead had seen the decay and despotism that spread there. More interested in maintaining continued trade than in the reality of the situation on Empress Teta, the Republic had done nothing when the extremists took over. They were content to allow the corporations to exert influence of the world that had allowed the festering underworld that had destroyed her childhood to progress unchecked. In the end Selika sees both the First Order and Republic as equally responsible for the hardships she endured, and sees both as corrupt entities run by weaklings who been undeservedly handed power by the masses.

====The Force====
[[file:Selika1_by_talitapersi.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika focuses on the mind affecting elements of the Force.]]
Selika’s views on the Force have been shaped by her exploration of the teachings of the Krath cult that dominated her homeworld millennia ago. She has sought out the teachings of the founders of the Krath, specifically those of Aleema Keto, as she has delved deeper into the Force over the course of her life. As a result, many of the long-dead Krath witch’s feelings on the Force have shaped Selika’s own. Restraint in the application of the Force is foreign to Selika as she tends towards flagrant or showy displays of power.

Unlike the Krath that held sway in the Brotherhood in recent times, Selika sees the Force as not something to be studied for the purposes of arcane knowledge. Instead the pursuit of arcane knowledge is simply one road to the true goal of the ancient Krath: domination. She eschews the more metaphysical schools of thought on the nature of the Force, seeing things like the interpretation the Force being a conscious entity shaping the galaxy as the worst sort of religious sentimentality. Much as galactic society would look down on primitive cultures that assigned religious motivations to natural forces such as electricity or gravity, so too does Selika look down on those that see the same in the Force. To her, the Force is just one more natural source of energy that makes up the physical universe. Those that can touch it and shape it to their will are simply making use of an evolutionary advantage that assigns them to a place of superiority over others.

====Non-Force users====
[[file:selika_by_olenaminko.jpg|thumb|150px|Force choking a non-Force user.]]
Selika views non-Force users, or as she calls them mundanes, as inherently inferior to those that can touch the Force. In her eyes, a Force user is a rare commodity. Whatever accident of genetics that brings about Force sensitivity can take generations to manifest itself in a mundane bloodline, all the while the mundanes breed like gizka. Even without the power that they wield, the Force user would be more valuable simply based on simple statistics. With their power, the Force user is exponentially more valuable than their non-Force using counterparts in her eyes.

This basic, underlying belief has lead to Selika viewing the lives of mundanes as less important or valuable than those of Force users. Expending massive numbers of the former to reach the goals held by the latter is a perfectly acceptable. What others would describe as senseless slaughter is something that Selika would see as being acceptable if for no other reason than one mundane is essentially interchangeable with the next. Her callous attitude towards them means that she has no compunctions about employing the murder of mundanes to further her own desires. It does not mean, however, that she takes direct pleasure in said killing. The pleasure she derives from any death directly flows from how that action advances her along the road to her destination, not from the murder itself.

== Powers and abilities ==
[[file:Selika_by_haonguyenly.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika employing force lightning and illusion.]]
Unlike many Sith, Selika focuses on a few aspects of the Force at the expense of more across the board skill. Favoring illusions and mental abilities over others, she has never fully developed much of the more physical Force skills. In some areas, like the healing arts, she shows no proficiency at all. Limiting her focus, however, has allowed her great ability but still greater knowledge in how to apply her skills than many others of similar power and skill.

=== Force powers ===
Selika’s most devastating ability lies in her knowledge and skill in powers such as illusion or mind trick. She has focused on these skills mostly because she feels that attacking the mind is the most direct path to the defeat of her enemies. In her eyes, those that spend much of their time training their physical abilities and Force powers to complement then (such as amplification) more often than not neglect powers of the mind. Their weakness can then be exploited when they oppose her, with her ability to destroy them from within can make their physical prowess irrelevant.

For times when she is confronted by those who have not neglected the mental battlefied, Selika has applied herself to the study of powers that allow her to engage her foes while still keeping herself seperated from them as she does with mental assaults. Initially, she devoted herself almost entirely to telekinesis in more physical combat situations. More recently, however, she has learned to harness the Force in such a way to employ Force lightning. She has demonstrated remarkable skill in the ability in a far shorter time than most of her others, a fact that she feels is due to the nature of Force lightning. Unlike other skills, there is a mental state that one must reach to project Force lightning. Selika’s great experience with mental manipulation has allowed her to better achieve this mental state and harness Force lightning at a level that is not often seen by one as inexperienced in its usage as she is.

=== Lightsaber abilities ===
[[file:Selika_restoration_by_salamandra88.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika during the GMIT.]]
When Selika first learned to use the Force, she had no access to a lightsaber. Her reality lead to her mastering of the Force independent of the traditional weapon of the Sith and Jedi, and her feelings towards the blade were shaped accordingly. As she progressed and gained more experience with other Sith with the followers of Zoraan, she begrudgingly began to use a lightsaber. For many years she still saw the lightsaber as a secondary weapon, something whose use signaled a failure on her part to destroy her enemies with the Force alone. After her arrival in the Brotherhood, however, her view began to shift somewhat. Still viewing the saber with some amount of internal disdain, she has come to see it as another useful tool in her arsenal. Even now, though, she still favors the Force alone over her weapon when she can.

With her saber, Selika rarely goes for the quick kill to open combat. Her tendency is to maintain her Soresu-based defense to, ostensibly, wear down her prey. In reality, she is motivated as much by her desire to inflict pain and torture before finishing off her opponent. She will favor attacks whose goal is to be as painful as possible for mind or body before eventual death, using the taunts favored by Dun Moch to dominate her opponent. When her final strike does come, however, it will often be in the form of a swift and lethal application of Djem So.

===Other skills===
Many Sith and Jedi see the Force as a tool that can replace many of the more mundane abilities, becoming reliant on mind tricks instead of their innate ability to manipulate others for example. Selika instead feels that those abilities can make your talents with the Force even more useful. In keeping with her focus on those Force abilities that target the mind, Selika has developed her own mental prowess outside of the Force. She uses her sharp mind and perception to augment her Force ability. As a result, much like her Force abilities, she has not developed her physical skill to the same level that many of the more martially focused Sith have.

== Rivals ==
===Turel Sorenn===
{{quote|'''Monsters like you don’t deserve to live.'''|Turel Sorenn}}
[[file:Selika_vs_Turel_by_HalChroma.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika vs. Turel.]]
Selika and Turel Sorenn are, on the face of things, the most bitter of enemies. Originally crossing paths under the auspices of an intelligence gathering mission, Selika has always pursued a more personal goal when it comes to Turel: turning the Jedi to the Dark Side. She sees his personality type as ripe for corruption, with his time serving Arcona having left him uniquely vulnerable to her machinations. She feels that Turel would make a formidable Sith, and at the same time offer her invaluable information in regards to V'yr Vorsa, one of her most formidable rivals.

In their interactions, both on New Tython and during the Grand Master’s Invitational Tournament, Selika has gone to great lengths to break his spirit. She has engaged in the cold blooded murder of several citizens and law enforcement officers on New Tython as well as tricked Turel into killing an innocent as well, all in the name of destroying his devotion to the light. This campaign has spilled out into a larger conflict between their two respective clans as well, contributing to the conflict between them on Florrum in 34 ABY.
{{clear}}
===V’yr Vorsa===
{{quote|'''Selika Roh. You are under arrest for the murder of eight Council agents, two law enforcement officers, a father of two, and for assault and injury of a Council member of Clan Odan-Urr.'''|V’yr Vorsa, 33 ABY}}
[[file:Duel_on_New_Tython_by_g_matoshi.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika and Vorsa in combat on New Tython.]]
Selika maintains an adversarial relationship with the Neti councilor. This rivalry began with their overlapping fields of control of the Brotherhood (Selika as Tribune of the Holorons and Vorsa as Herald), but has grown beyond that. Selika felt that she had been appointed to the staff of the Herald as one of Vorsa’s magistrates specifically to keep an eye on the Jedi serving the Dark Council, a notion that has never been confirmed nor denied by others in the Brotherhood.

Beyond their more professional rivalry, the two have developed far more personal animosity from Selika’s interactions with Turel Sorenn. Turel, being one of Vorsa’s proteges, is something of an ongoing project for Vorsa, and Selika’s efforts to turn him fully to the dark side have not gone over well. Their first direct conflict came as a result of Selika’s assault on Turel in 33 ABY and lead to a large amount of collateral damage in Menat Ombo’s Visulu Marketplace. Their battle was ended before a satisfactory resolution due to Selika’s extraction by fellow di Plagia Aabsdu Dupar, so the tension between the two continues. Since then, Selika has attempted to work behind the scenes to sabotage Vorsa’s efforts, especially in operations to engineer the transit of undesirables out of Brotherhood space.

{{quote|'''An illusion is always most effective when you’re showing someone what they want to see, what they expect to see.'''|Selika Roh}}
'''Selika Roh''' is a [[Sith]] [[EL3|Prophet]], [[Consul]] of [[Clan Plagueis]], and the former [[Herald]] of the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. Born during the waning years of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]], she grew up among the Noble Houses of [[starwars:Empress Teta|Empress Teta]]. Political upheaval following the Empire’s collapse led to the overthrow of the royal government during her youth and years of captivity that ultimately revealed her sensitivity to the [[starwars:Force|Force]]. Her search for training and purpose eventually led her to the [[One Sith]], and later to the [[Dark Brotherhood]] during the [[Dark Crusade]].

Following her defection during the Dark Crusade, Selika rose steadily through the ranks of [[Clan Plagueis]] and the wider Brotherhood. Known for her strategic insight, political maneuvering, and command of the dark side, she became one of the Clan’s most influential members. Her career eventually carried her beyond Plagueis itself to the [[Dark Council]], where she later oversaw the [[Shroud Syndicate]]. In time she returned to her home Clan, once again assuming leadership as Dread Lord of Plagueis.

== Biography ==
=== Early life (1 BBY - 5 ABY) ===
[[file:Selika_by_igloinor.jpg|thumb|left|145px|Selika at age 6 in 5 ABY.]]
Selika was born on the [[starwars:Deep Core|Deep Core]] world of [[starwars:Empress Teta|Empress Teta]] in [[25 BBY to 1 BBY|1 BBY]] in the waning days of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]]. Her father Lial Roh was the youngest scion of House Roh, one of the [[starwars:Ancient Houses|Ancient Houses]] and a prominent noble family on Empress Teta with roots stretching back thousands of years. The family, ascendent in the noble hierarchy under the rule of [[starwars:Darth Sidious|Palpatine’s]] Empire, was close to the throne and Lial held the position of [[starwars:Duke|Duke]]. Her mother, Nilan, was a member of House Methil and married Lial at a young age as part of an alliance between their two houses.

Born into the luxury of two noble houses, Selika’s early childhood was one of comfort. Like many nobles, however, she spent far more time in the care of nannies and various members of the house staff than she did her own parents. As a young child, she became close friends with Celes Maza, the daughter of her mother’s own [[starwars:Handmaiden|handmaiden]]. The servant girl would come to be assigned to Selika by the age of five to be trained as handmaiden herself. The bond forged at that young age would persist for years to follow. Given the highly stratified nature of Empress Teta’s society, the nobility rarely interacted with the commoners with House Roh being no different. A system that had persisted for thousands of years was, however, unprepared to cope with the collapse of Imperial Order, and Selika’s idyllic life would begin to crumble along with it.

=== Turmoil on Empress Teta (5 ABY - 14 ABY) ===
==== Fall from grace ====
While the Emperor’s death at Endor had a major impact on the Empire, it wasn’t until the Empire’s final military defeat at the [[starwars:Battle of Jakku|Battle of Jakku]] that the citizenry of the Empire truly comprehended that the end of the Empire had arrived. The terms of the [[starwars:Galactic Concordance|Galactic Concordance]] left Empress Teta crippled under crushing reparations and the citizenry increasingly held the ruling elite responsible. Two years after the Imperial surrender, the economy was still declining. A year after that, and the public’s backlash was becoming increasingly hard to ignore. House Roh, like its counterparts, was forced to liquidate much if it’s assets to put towards reparations payments in order to attempt to placate the populace.

The home that Selika had grown up in was sold and servants discharged. Moving into a smaller accommodation in the capital district, Selika’s world seemed to come crashing down. Her one constant was her handmaiden Celes. Her tutors gone, Selika began attending a school for the first time in her life. The exposure to those outside the nobility, many of them angry at the ruling class, served as a rude awakening. She was bullied constantly by other students, often reduced to tears by verbal and physical attacks. Soon, however, the simmering unrest of the population would move beyond bullying and boil over.

A growing populist movement was sweeping through the planet spanning city of Empress Teta. It had formed shortly after the end of the [[starwars:Galactic Civil War|Galactic Civil War]], but even in the economic chaos that followed it had not been more than an exceedingly vocal minority. The movement would explode in the latter part of [[0 BBY to 9 ABY|9 ABY]], however. In a move to grab more control of the planet’s [[starwars:Carbonite|carbonite]] industry, off-world banks withdrew loans to Korosian companies. This sent shocks throughout the planet’s economy that lead to an explosion of unemployment. Before the off world corporations could step in the economy completely collapsed. The last vestige of the old order would be gone within the year.

==== Prisoner ====
[[file:young_selika_by_karolding.jpg|thumb|150px|Captive of the Black Sun.]]
Known as the Crimson Night (named for the amount of blood spilled), the violence started in the early evening on the third day of the Festival of Life [[starwars:Fete Weeks|Fete Week]] in [[10 ABY to 19 ABY|10 ABY]]. Unemployed dockworkers began a march to the Capital Spaceport, but it soon degenerated into a riot. Many of the police and military units, themselves having not been paid for months, joined with the rioters as the chaos spread throughout the capital district. As night fell, the district descended into total anarchy. Selika’s family along with the Maza’s sought refuge in their home as the power grid failed and the city plunged into a darkness lit only by the fires set by rioters.

The rage that was fueled by a half decade of depression was especially directed at the ruling elite. Selika’s father, well known to the populace, was amongst those targeted. Nearly twenty men descended on the Roh home during the night, looking to exact revenge against one of the visible representations of their oppression. As the mob beat her father to death before Selika’s eyes, her mother and her handmaiden were shot as they tried to come to his aid by two members of the capitol police who had joined with the rioters. Selika and Celes ran to their dying mothers as the rioters tore through the home. Finally having had their fill, most returned to the streets to continue their rampage. Four, however, dragged the two screaming girls from the house and out into the night.

The dockworkers, seeking to improve their financial prospects, sold both girls to local representatives of the [[starwars:Black Sun|Black Sun]]. This would be the start of years of slavery and abuse for Selika and her former handmaiden. Initially, they were used as a laborer in the various criminal enterprises the Black Sun was involved in on Empress Teta. Four years of had taken their toll on the girls, and eventually one night Celes attempted to fight back against their captors. In the ensuing struggle, the guard snapped the former handmaidens neck. Selika, in the next cage over, saw that she would be the angry guard’s next target. Unlocking her cage, he grabbed her and threw her to the floor. As he continued, Selika looked into the dead eyes of her childhood friend. Tears welling up in her eyes and her emotions roiling, she manifested her first expression of latent [[starwars:The Force|Force]] ability. Telling the guard that the world would be so better without him, the man drew his own weapon and shot himself in the head. Her untrained, reflexive [[starwars:mind trick|mind trick]] had been enough to twist the mind of the drunken guard. Staring at him momentarily, she fled from the warehouse that had served as her jail and into the night beyond.

=== Familial exploitation (14 ABY - 21 ABY) ===
[[file:Tolcon_Roh_by_igloinor.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Tolcon Roh, Selika’s uncle.]]
The Empress Teta that Selika found herself lost in was considerably different from the one she had left four years earlier. The populist uprising had given way to an authoritarian government backed by the corporate powers. The [[starwars:New Republic|Republic]], more interested in the continued carbonite trade, had done little to stabilize the planet. As a result, a reality similar to what had existed before had developed. Now, the influential corporate players had replaced the nobility as the sector of society in control. The only hope Selika felt that she had was with her uncle, Tolcon Roh. He had been off world during the Crimson Night, and had always focused more on the family's business interests than his brothers. As a result, he had maintained his position within society when the revolution had come.

Tolcon sent an [[starwars:Airspeeder|airspeeder]] to collect his niece and bring her to his estate. Selika took little notice of the palatial home, still traumatized by her ordeal and confused by what had happened to allow her secure her freedom. Months of recovery and counseling followed as Selika tried to restore her shattered psyche. At first, she would not talk about what had happened the night of her escape. She hardly believed it herself, and had almost convinced herself that it had happened differently. Finally, she told her uncle what had happened that night. Tolcon was initially skeptical, but was well aware of the history of [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force sensitivity]] in the royal bloodline of Empress Teta. After finally accepting what his niece was telling him, Tolcon sought to help her develop her ability. A shrewd businessman, Tolcon knew how valuable skill with Force suggestion could be.

[[file:Selika_young_by_adagadegelo.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika in 17 ABY.]]
By the time she was 18, Selika was assisting her uncle in his business ventures. Her position offered Selika her first trip off-world, and she saw places like [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] for the first time. Soon, however, it became clear that she was as much a prisoner in her uncle’s care as she had been with the Black Sun. As her Force talents grew with more use, she began to access other abilities. As she shaped her skill to read others into true [[starwars:Telepathy|telepathy]], she eventually turned that ability on her uncle. Tolcon, in truth, saw his niece as nothing more than a tool to further his ambitions. To him, Selika had been broken by her ordeal, and, no matter how much she was able to hide it, she was totally dependent on his good graces.

Infuriated with how her supposed savior was infantilizing her, Selika realized she would have to escape her gilded cage as she had the Black Sun years before. Contrary to her uncle’s perception of her, Selika knew very well how to take care of herself, and what she would need to do so. Over the course of several weeks, she used her skills to manipulate members of Tolcon’s staff into setting up secret accounts and filling them with the credits she would need. When everything was in place, Selika wanted to confront her uncle with her intent to leave. She felt a visceral need to stand up to him instead of, as she saw it, running away in the night as she had from her criminal captors. Tolcon, however, showed his true colors when confronted by his niece. Still seeing her as the weak, broken girl she had been, Tolcon screamed at her, throwing Selika to the floor of the family study. Anger burning within her, Selika reached out with the Force and [[starwars:Telekinesis|lifted]] him from his feet by the neck. As Tolcon’s eyes widened in alarm as the true depth of his miscalculation became apparent, Selika jerked his head and snapped his neck. Dropping his dead body to the ground, Selika left her uncle’s home for good.

=== Pilgrimage into the Shadows (21 ABY - 25 ABY) ===
[[file:Selika_mid_by_jnetrocks.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika in 21 ABY.]]Selika Roh departed Empress Teta in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|21 ABY]] with little more than stolen credits, a false identity, and a power she barely understood. The galaxy she entered was one still attempting to settle after the fall of the Empire. The New Republic governed much of the [[starwars:Core Worlds|Core]] and Inner Rim, while vast stretches of the [[starwars:Mid Rim|Mid Rim]] and [[starwars:Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim]] remained contested by crime syndicates, warlords, and scattered remnants of Imperial authority. For Selika, the disorder of the era offered both opportunity and anonymity.

Her first years away from her homeworld were marked by cautious exploration. Traveling through the Mid Rim and the fringes of the [[starwars:Expansion Region|Expansion Region]], she survived by selling information, manipulating negotiations, and quietly inserting herself into criminal and corporate disputes where a subtle application of the Force could turn the outcome. Selika rarely remained in one system for long. Her past had taught her the dangers of attachment, and she cultivated the habits of a wanderer. During this time she began experimenting with her abilities beyond the simple manipulations her uncle had taught her. Through instinct and trial she learned to sharpen her awareness of others’ thoughts, gradually extending her abilities into deeper telepathic perception and more forceful acts of suggestion.

Selika’s travels increasingly brought her into contact with places touched by the lingering echoes of the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]]. On [[starwars:Moraband|Moraband]] she encountered the ruins of ancient temples abandoned long before the rise of the Empire. On [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]] she observed dark side cultists scavenging relics of the old Sith Empire that had once ruled the planet. Though she possessed little formal knowledge of Sith doctrine, Selika felt drawn to these remnants of the past. The anger and survival instinct that had defined her life resonated strongly with the dark side energies that lingered in such places. While she never fully committed herself to any cult or teacher during these years, she absorbed fragments of knowledge wherever she could find them, gradually shaping a personal philosophy that embraced strength, control, and emotional intensity as tools rather than weaknesses.

By the mid-twenties ABY Selika had become more confident in the use of the Force, but also increasingly aware of how little she truly understood. Rumors circulating in the underworld spoke of hidden orders of Force users scattered throughout the galaxy, remnants of traditions long thought destroyed. One such rumor eventually led her to a shadow network of dark side adepts operating quietly along the Outer Rim trade routes. Unlike the small cults Selika had previously encountered, this group appeared organized and disciplined, operating with a clear long-term purpose. They referred to themselves simply as the '''One Sith'''.

=== Joining the One Sith (25 ABY - 30 ABY) ===
[[file:selika_headshot_by_jnetrocks.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika in 26 ABY.]]

By 25 ABY Selika had grown confident in her command of the Force, though she remained aware that much of its deeper potential still eluded her. Through contacts in the criminal underworld she eventually encountered a hidden network of dark side adepts operating quietly along the Outer Rim trade routes. Unlike the scattered cults and relic hunters she had previously encountered, this group was organized and disciplined, pursuing a long-term vision for the resurgence of the dark side. They referred to themselves simply as the '''One Sith'''.

Though wary of authority after years of betrayal, Selika recognized the opportunity the Order offered. The One Sith provided guidance, knowledge, and a purpose beyond mere survival. In return she pledged herself to their designs, joining a covert network of agents working to expand the Order’s influence throughout the Mid Rim and Outer Rim.

Selika quickly proved effective in missions requiring manipulation and subtle influence. Drawing on her noble upbringing and growing mastery of the Force, she cultivated contacts among criminal syndicates, corporate interests, and scattered Force-sensitive communities while quietly advancing the Order’s broader objectives.

Among the groups closely studied by the One Sith was the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. When the [[Horizons|Horizons Crisis]] erupted in [[30 ABY]], the Brotherhood was struck by the Horizon plague even as Zoraan launched a coordinated assault against its Clans, Houses, and Antei itself. Selika worked from the shadows during the chaos, helping the One Sith exploit the confusion and observe how far the Brotherhood could be pushed toward collapse.

Although the Brotherhood ultimately survived—curing the plague and defeating Zoraan on Antei—the conflict left it weakened and uncertain of its future. For Selika and the hidden masters of the One Sith, the crisis proved that even powerful orders of Force users could be made vulnerable.

=== The Dark Crusade (30 ABY - 32 ABY) ===
====Disillusionment====
[[file:selika_by_jnetrocks.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Selika in 30 ABY.]]

When the [[Dark Crusade]] began in 30 ABY, Selika was assigned by the One Sith to oppose the advancing forces of the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. Operating as part of the Order’s intelligence and covert operations network, she was repeatedly dispatched to worlds that had become focal points of the conflict between the Brotherhood and the One Sith. Over the course of the war she found herself shadowing the movements of [[Clan Plagueis]], encountering their forces across multiple battlefronts including Nfolgai, Khar Delba, Ch'Hodos, Athis, Kalsunor, and Ziost.

At first Selika believed the campaign would prove the strength of the One Sith. The Order had long spoken of the Brotherhood as a fractured and declining power whose influence could be shattered with careful planning and decisive force. Yet as the conflict expanded across system after system, the reality she witnessed was far different from what she had been promised.

The Brotherhood’s armies did not collapse as anticipated. Instead, they fought with stubborn determination, adapting quickly to the shifting fronts of the war. Several of the Order’s operations faltered or collapsed entirely as Brotherhood forces pushed back against their enemies. For Selika, who had spent years serving the hidden designs of the One Sith, these setbacks forced an uncomfortable realization. The Order that claimed mastery over the galaxy’s future was proving capable of the same arrogance and miscalculation that had doomed so many Sith movements before it.

As the war dragged on, Selika began to question not only the competence of the Order’s leadership but also the philosophy that guided it. The One Sith spoke endlessly of unity and long-term design, yet their methods increasingly resembled the brutal expediency of any other dark side faction. Entire worlds were treated as expendable pieces in a wider strategy, and those who failed were quietly discarded.

By the time the campaign shifted toward Ziost, Selika’s faith in the Order had eroded. What she had once believed to be a rising power destined to reshape the galaxy now appeared to her as another order blinded by its own ambitions.

====Defection====
[[file:crusadeheroes.jpg|thumb|150px|The heroes of the Dark Crusade.]]
[[file:Selika_Aabsdu_by_megaween.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Learning blinding from Aabsdu Dupar.]]

As preparations for the final campaign on Ziost began in 32 ABY, Selika made a decision that would sever her ties to the One Sith forever. Having observed the Brotherhood throughout the conflict—particularly the warriors of Clan Plagueis—she had come to respect their resilience and discipline in a way she had never felt toward her own Order.

Rather than continue serving a cause she no longer believed in, Selika abandoned the One Sith and deliberately sought out the forces of Clan Plagueis shortly before their landing on Ziost. Her arrival was treated with immediate suspicion. A former enemy who appeared willingly in the midst of an ongoing war was an obvious security risk, and she was detained while the leadership of the Clan determined whether her defection was genuine or an elaborate deception.

Selika offered something few defectors could provide: knowledge. Years spent operating within the One Sith’s covert network had given her insight into the Order’s methods, command structure, and operational weaknesses. The intelligence she carried—along with the circumstances of her departure from the Order—ultimately convinced the leadership of Plagueis that her defection was real.

Though her loyalty remained under scrutiny, Selika was permitted to assist the Clan as the campaign for Ziost began. The information she provided proved valuable in countering several One Sith tactics during the final stages of the war, marking the beginning of her long and complicated association with the Brotherhood.

====Fading Light====
[[file:Selika2_by_talitapersi.jpg|thumb|150px|A lull in the fighting on Begeren.]]

Although Selika’s intelligence had proven valuable during the closing stages of the Dark Crusade, her position within Clan Plagueis remained uncertain. Many members of the Clan still viewed her as a former enemy whose loyalty had yet to be proven.

During the conflict known as [[Fading Light]], Selika continued to serve alongside Plagueis forces in several operations, gradually demonstrating both her reliability and her willingness to fight for her new allies. Rather than attempt to immediately claim influence within the Clan, she instead adopted a cautious approach—taking assignments where needed and allowing her actions to speak for themselves.

Her skills in deception, infiltration, and battlefield manipulation proved especially useful during reconnaissance and covert missions. Working closely with Plagueian warriors who had initially distrusted her, Selika slowly began to establish a reputation as a capable and disciplined Sith rather than a recent defector.

Between campaigns she also participated in security operations aboard the [[Tonus Anchorage]]. Sections of the station that had long remained sealed or unexplored were found to contain hostile [[starwars:Sithspawn|Sithspawn]] that had survived within the abandoned corridors. Selika joined the teams tasked with clearing these areas and locating missing personnel, helping eliminate the creatures and secure the Anchorage as the Clan prepared to relocate it to the Aliso system.

By the time tensions within the Dark Brotherhood began escalating toward open civil war, Selika had earned a measure of reluctant respect within Plagueis. When the conflict that would become the Eleventh Great Jedi War erupted, she would enter it not as a recent defector, but as a member of the Clan fighting alongside its warriors.

====Korriban====
[[file:Selika_GMIT_by_karolding.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Fighting on Korriban in 32 ABY.]]

Selika later fought alongside Clan Plagueis during the Eleventh Great Jedi War on [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], where the Clan aligned itself with the forces of Esoteric as the wider conflict escalated into a brutal civil war within the Dark Brotherhood. The campaign centered on Korriban and the Valley of the Dark Lords, where rival factions converged in pursuit of the rite that had drawn the Brotherhood’s leaders to the planet.

Within Plagueis, however, the campaign was complicated by internal division. Selika sided with [[Kz'set]] against [[Vivackus Kavon di Plagia|Vivackus]], judging the Clan’s alliance with Esoteric to be reckless and ultimately self-destructive. When Kz’set was sent on what appeared to be a suicidal assignment, Selika chose to accompany him. Their shuttle was attacked by the ''Transcendent'' before reaching the surface, but both survived the crash and regrouped with Plagueian forces still loyal to the Wrath.

As the battle on Korriban intensified, Selika fought beside Kz’set and his allies while the internal struggle within Plagueis erupted openly on the planet’s surface. During these operations she helped seize transport from enemy scouts, moved with Kz’set toward the Tomb of Ajunta Pall, and took part in the confrontation between the rival Plagueian factions outside the tomb. There, the feud between Vivackus and Kz’set culminated in open combat, ending with Vivackus’ defeat.

That victory proved short-lived. Esoteric had manipulated the conflict from the outset, using the division within Plagueis to weaken the Clan while pursuing his own goals on Korriban. When he finally revealed his hand, Selika and the surviving Plagueians found themselves subjected to overwhelming fire from above, leaving many dead or wounded in the Valley of the Dark Lords.

Selika survived the bombardment but was seriously injured during the attack. She was recovered by surviving Plagueian forces and withdrawn from the battlefield alongside the other remnants of the Clan as they attempted to regroup after the devastating defeat.

For Selika, the campaign on Korriban reinforced lessons she had already begun to learn during the Dark Crusade: hidden powers rarely valued loyalty, and survival often depended less on ideology than on recognizing betrayal before it was too late.

{{clear}}
== Appearance ==
=== Physical description ===
[[file:Selika_by_kaelacroftart.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika Roh.]]
Selika is a striking woman that stands just over average human height for a female. Selika's eyes are a deep violet color and are framed by her unruly, layered hair that falls just below chin length. Her hair is naturally dark black, save for a single lock of violet-dyed hair on the left side of her face.

Blessed with a lithe build, her movements are fluid and graceful. She carries herself with an almost regal bearing that many find off putting, but it is only an affectation designed to do just that. Her skin is an unblemished dark olive shade free of any scars or distinguishing marks.

=== Attire ===
[[file:Selika_sheet_by_mathiaarkoniel.jpg|thumb|150px|Various examples of Selika Roh’s attire.]]
Most often Selika can be found wearing a set of deep purple robes made of Ottegan silk. These robes are designed to show off her figure, which is a deliberate choice much like her manner. The robes consist of a stiff collared vest open from neck to navel. Unlike the tabard of a traditional Sith robe, this vest does not extend below the waist. Underneath the vest is a bodysuit of darker fabric that, like the vest, is open at the chest. Over both bodysuit and vest a skirt is gathered at the waist. The skirt is open at the front and extends to the ankle. The font of the skirt is made up of a separate panel of lighter paneled fabric of slightly shorter length. The robes are complemented by long, fingerless gloves that extend above the elbow and thigh high boots. This outfit is her usual choice for both everyday use and combat.

When a more formal look is called for, can be found wearing a strapless, ebon dresses made of expensive materials coupled with long gloves and knee high boots. When discretion is called for, Selika will wear more standard robes. A violet tabard and black hooded cloak are coupled with a dark, baggy shirt and breeches. Though infrequently enough to almost never happen, she can still be found from time to time wearing her older combat attire. Colored in shades of grey, it features an asymmetrical jacket that hangs from her left shoulder and extends down below the knee over a set of boy shorts and belt. The ensemble is complemented by thigh high boots and a pair of long gloves.

== Personality and traits ==
=== Personality ===
[[file:selika_by_lithana.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika Roh creating an illusory serpent.]]
Selika Roh is self-serving individual who, at her heart, is only out for herself. Power, glory, wealth, position, and anything that will make her life more comfortable is her goal. It matters little who might be caught in the middle, as long as the result is the further accumulation of power in Selika’s hands. She will lie, cheat, and kill anyone to attain her personal goals.

She has no particular objection to working with others or, for that matter, going it on her own. Her only interest is in getting ahead. Although she does not have the every-man-for-himself attitude of many other Sith, she has no qualms about betraying her friends and companions for personal gain. She is perfectly alright with betraying a family member, comrade, or friend if it is convenient to do so and it advances her agenda. she is personally indifferent to the concepts of self-discipline and honor, finding them useful only if they can be used to advance her own interests or gain power over others. The closest to loyalty she typically approaches is basing her allegiance on strength and ability alone and how much she may gain from allying with them.

She has little respect for the rule of law, and has no qualms about using laws to weaken those who stand in the way of her success. Additionally, if she must resort to breaking the law, she will. She has no real preference for either method beyond their possible efficacy in reaching her goals. She sees laws as tools to use against people, as well as their own sense of honor. Having no internal concept of personal honor, she never feels compelled to keep her word. Additionally, she will attack and kill an unarmed foe and has no issues with harming or killing an innocent. She takes no specific pleasure from killing, seeing it as one of many tools to use in the pursuit of her goals as opposed to a goal in and of itself. Selika will, however, often take pleasure in inflicting pain, either physical or mental, upon opponents.

=== Philosophies and beliefs ===
==== General ====
[[file:Selika_Aleema_by_Xelandra.jpg|thumb|175px|Selika's philosophy mirrors that of Aleema Keto.]]
Selika feels that the universe is governed by certain natural and manmade forces. If allowed to take their course, they will weed out the weak and useless in society. As such, the deserving should take advantage of this condition to further their own goals by any means possible, especially to destroy weaklings who put forward "good" actions to promote the wellbeing of all, which is just an excuse used to deny the deserving their due. In Selika’s eyes life is of no special value, for those who cannot take advantage of their superiority don't deserve it as they will only interfere with the rightful pursuits of those who do. This is especially true when it comes to the non-Force using populations of the galaxy. In her eyes, the multitudes have crushed those who touch the Force under their weight, preventing the Force users from taking their rightful place atop the galactic order.

====Governments====
Selika has very little respect for any of the current claimants to the mantle of pan-galactic governance. Her view of the Galactic Empire, and it’s successor state the First Order, is almost entirely shaped by her personal experiences following its collapse. While the Empire under Palpatine maintained order and backed the monarchy of Empress Teta, it had collapsed far too easily in the face of the threat posed by the Rebellion. The retreat of the military from the Core into the Unknown Regions just hastened the chaos that followed on Empress Teta which lead to Selika’s hellish years of captivity at the hands of extremists who toppled the government. In her eyes, the First Order is but the vestiges of a once proud system now governed by the heirs of cowards who fled when the fight started to get tough.

Selika holds the Republic, however, in almost equal disdain. The treaty ending their war with the Empire had left the remnants of Imperial space to the carrion feeders of the galaxy. The decade after their final victory over Jakku had not lead to the liberation of most of the Old Empire, but instead had seen the decay and despotism that spread there. More interested in maintaining continued trade than in the reality of the situation on Empress Teta, the Republic had done nothing when the extremists took over. They were content to allow the corporations to exert influence of the world that had allowed the festering underworld that had destroyed her childhood to progress unchecked. In the end Selika sees both the First Order and Republic as equally responsible for the hardships she endured, and sees both as corrupt entities run by weaklings who been undeservedly handed power by the masses.

====The Force====
[[file:Selika1_by_talitapersi.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika focuses on the mind affecting elements of the Force.]]
Selika’s views on the Force have been shaped by her exploration of the teachings of the Krath cult that dominated her homeworld millennia ago. She has sought out the teachings of the founders of the Krath, specifically those of Aleema Keto, as she has delved deeper into the Force over the course of her life. As a result, many of the long-dead Krath witch’s feelings on the Force have shaped Selika’s own. Restraint in the application of the Force is foreign to Selika as she tends towards flagrant or showy displays of power.

Unlike the Krath that held sway in the Brotherhood in recent times, Selika sees the Force as not something to be studied for the purposes of arcane knowledge. Instead the pursuit of arcane knowledge is simply one road to the true goal of the ancient Krath: domination. She eschews the more metaphysical schools of thought on the nature of the Force, seeing things like the interpretation the Force being a conscious entity shaping the galaxy as the worst sort of religious sentimentality. Much as galactic society would look down on primitive cultures that assigned religious motivations to natural forces such as electricity or gravity, so too does Selika look down on those that see the same in the Force. To her, the Force is just one more natural source of energy that makes up the physical universe. Those that can touch it and shape it to their will are simply making use of an evolutionary advantage that assigns them to a place of superiority over others.

====Non-Force users====
[[file:selika_by_olenaminko.jpg|thumb|150px|Force choking a non-Force user.]]
Selika views non-Force users, or as she calls them mundanes, as inherently inferior to those that can touch the Force. In her eyes, a Force user is a rare commodity. Whatever accident of genetics that brings about Force sensitivity can take generations to manifest itself in a mundane bloodline, all the while the mundanes breed like gizka. Even without the power that they wield, the Force user would be more valuable simply based on simple statistics. With their power, the Force user is exponentially more valuable than their non-Force using counterparts in her eyes.

This basic, underlying belief has lead to Selika viewing the lives of mundanes as less important or valuable than those of Force users. Expending massive numbers of the former to reach the goals held by the latter is a perfectly acceptable. What others would describe as senseless slaughter is something that Selika would see as being acceptable if for no other reason than one mundane is essentially interchangeable with the next. Her callous attitude towards them means that she has no compunctions about employing the murder of mundanes to further her own desires. It does not mean, however, that she takes direct pleasure in said killing. The pleasure she derives from any death directly flows from how that action advances her along the road to her destination, not from the murder itself.

== Powers and abilities ==
[[file:Selika_by_haonguyenly.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika employing force lightning and illusion.]]
Unlike many Sith, Selika focuses on a few aspects of the Force at the expense of more across the board skill. Favoring illusions and mental abilities over others, she has never fully developed much of the more physical Force skills. In some areas, like the healing arts, she shows no proficiency at all. Limiting her focus, however, has allowed her great ability but still greater knowledge in how to apply her skills than many others of similar power and skill.

=== Force powers ===
Selika’s most devastating ability lies in her knowledge and skill in powers such as illusion or mind trick. She has focused on these skills mostly because she feels that attacking the mind is the most direct path to the defeat of her enemies. In her eyes, those that spend much of their time training their physical abilities and Force powers to complement then (such as amplification) more often than not neglect powers of the mind. Their weakness can then be exploited when they oppose her, with her ability to destroy them from within can make their physical prowess irrelevant.

For times when she is confronted by those who have not neglected the mental battlefied, Selika has applied herself to the study of powers that allow her to engage her foes while still keeping herself seperated from them as she does with mental assaults. Initially, she devoted herself almost entirely to telekinesis in more physical combat situations. More recently, however, she has learned to harness the Force in such a way to employ Force lightning. She has demonstrated remarkable skill in the ability in a far shorter time than most of her others, a fact that she feels is due to the nature of Force lightning. Unlike other skills, there is a mental state that one must reach to project Force lightning. Selika’s great experience with mental manipulation has allowed her to better achieve this mental state and harness Force lightning at a level that is not often seen by one as inexperienced in its usage as she is.

=== Lightsaber abilities ===
[[file:Selika_restoration_by_salamandra88.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika during the GMIT.]]
When Selika first learned to use the Force, she had no access to a lightsaber. Her reality lead to her mastering of the Force independent of the traditional weapon of the Sith and Jedi, and her feelings towards the blade were shaped accordingly. As she progressed and gained more experience with other Sith with the followers of Zoraan, she begrudgingly began to use a lightsaber. For many years she still saw the lightsaber as a secondary weapon, something whose use signaled a failure on her part to destroy her enemies with the Force alone. After her arrival in the Brotherhood, however, her view began to shift somewhat. Still viewing the saber with some amount of internal disdain, she has come to see it as another useful tool in her arsenal. Even now, though, she still favors the Force alone over her weapon when she can.

With her saber, Selika rarely goes for the quick kill to open combat. Her tendency is to maintain her Soresu-based defense to, ostensibly, wear down her prey. In reality, she is motivated as much by her desire to inflict pain and torture before finishing off her opponent. She will favor attacks whose goal is to be as painful as possible for mind or body before eventual death, using the taunts favored by Dun Moch to dominate her opponent. When her final strike does come, however, it will often be in the form of a swift and lethal application of Djem So.

===Other skills===
Many Sith and Jedi see the Force as a tool that can replace many of the more mundane abilities, becoming reliant on mind tricks instead of their innate ability to manipulate others for example. Selika instead feels that those abilities can make your talents with the Force even more useful. In keeping with her focus on those Force abilities that target the mind, Selika has developed her own mental prowess outside of the Force. She uses her sharp mind and perception to augment her Force ability. As a result, much like her Force abilities, she has not developed her physical skill to the same level that many of the more martially focused Sith have.

== Rivals ==
===Turel Sorenn===
{{quote|'''Monsters like you don’t deserve to live.'''|Turel Sorenn}}
[[file:Selika_vs_Turel_by_HalChroma.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Selika vs. Turel.]]
Selika and Turel Sorenn are, on the face of things, the most bitter of enemies. Originally crossing paths under the auspices of an intelligence gathering mission, Selika has always pursued a more personal goal when it comes to Turel: turning the Jedi to the Dark Side. She sees his personality type as ripe for corruption, with his time serving Arcona having left him uniquely vulnerable to her machinations. She feels that Turel would make a formidable Sith, and at the same time offer her invaluable information in regards to V'yr Vorsa, one of her most formidable rivals.

In their interactions, both on New Tython and during the Grand Master’s Invitational Tournament, Selika has gone to great lengths to break his spirit. She has engaged in the cold blooded murder of several citizens and law enforcement officers on New Tython as well as tricked Turel into killing an innocent as well, all in the name of destroying his devotion to the light. This campaign has spilled out into a larger conflict between their two respective clans as well, contributing to the conflict between them on Florrum in 34 ABY.
{{clear}}
===V’yr Vorsa===
{{quote|'''Selika Roh. You are under arrest for the murder of eight Council agents, two law enforcement officers, a father of two, and for assault and injury of a Council member of Clan Odan-Urr.'''|V’yr Vorsa, 33 ABY}}
[[file:Duel_on_New_Tython_by_g_matoshi.jpg|thumb|150px|Selika and Vorsa in combat on New Tython.]]
Selika maintains an adversarial relationship with the Neti councilor. This rivalry began with their overlapping fields of control of the Brotherhood (Selika as Tribune of the Holorons and Vorsa as Herald), but has grown beyond that. Selika felt that she had been appointed to the staff of the Herald as one of Vorsa’s magistrates specifically to keep an eye on the Jedi serving the Dark Council, a notion that has never been confirmed nor denied by others in the Brotherhood.

Beyond their more professional rivalry, the two have developed far more personal animosity from Selika’s interactions with Turel Sorenn. Turel, being one of Vorsa’s proteges, is something of an ongoing project for Vorsa, and Selika’s efforts to turn him fully to the dark side have not gone over well. Their first direct conflict came as a result of Selika’s assault on Turel in 33 ABY and lead to a large amount of collateral damage in Menat Ombo’s Visulu Marketplace. Their battle was ended before a satisfactory resolution due to Selika’s extraction by fellow di Plagia Aabsdu Dupar, so the tension between the two continues. Since then, Selika has attempted to work behind the scenes to sabotage Vorsa’s efforts, especially in operations to engineer the transit of undesirables out of Brotherhood space.

The '''Eternal Order''' was a covert remnant regime formed in 41 ABY by [[Faethor Dejarc ]], known previously as Chi Long, following his return from the Ethereal Realm. Built from surviving elements of the [[starwars:First Order|First Order]] and the [[starwars:Sith Eternal|Sith Eternal]], the organization outwardly claimed to preserve the legacy of [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] and the imperial destiny he had forged. In truth, the Eternal Order was the product of Faethor’s ambition. By gathering scattered military remnants, cult loyalists, hidden infrastructure, and abandoned war matériel left in the wake of the First Order’s destruction, Faethor forged a new instrument of power through which he intended to reshape the political balance of the galaxy.

Though its adherents believed themselves guardians of a future Sith restoration, the Eternal Order ultimately served Faethor’s own designs. Its strength, secrecy, and ideology provided him with the means to rebuild his influence, undermine [[Clan Plagueis]], and position himself once again as a decisive power within the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]].

The organization ruled from the ruined world of [[Kapsina]] in the [[starwars:Deep Core|Deep Core]], where Faethor governed under the title of Shadow Regent, presenting himself as the temporary steward of the Emperor’s legacy until the day Palpatine might rise again.

== History ==
=== Origins ===
[[File:thereturnoffaethor.png|thumb|left|200px|Faethor's Force essence escaping the Ethereal Realm.]]
The Eternal Order emerged from the wreckage of two defeated but deeply intertwined powers: the First Order and the Sith Eternal. The First Order had arisen from Imperial remnants that fled into the Unknown Regions after the fall of the Galactic Empire, rebuilding their military strength in secret before returning to wage war against the New Republic. The Sith Eternal, operating from the hidden world of Exegol, functioned as an ancient Sith cult devoted to Palpatine, combining dark side devotion with advanced technology, shipbuilding, and clandestine influence throughout the galaxy.

The destruction of these regimes did not erase their legacy entirely. In the aftermath of Exegol, scattered fleets, intelligence networks, supply depots, listening posts, and loyalist enclaves remained hidden across the Outer Rim and the Unknown Regions. These fragments were isolated and leaderless, but they still possessed ships, soldiers, technology, and ideology.

When Faethor returned to the physical galaxy in 41 ABY, he recognized the opportunity these remnants represented. His altered mastery of the Force allowed him to dominate individuals and reconcile factions that would otherwise have destroyed one another through rivalry or mistrust. By invoking the legacy of Palpatine and presenting himself as the custodian of that legacy, Faethor gradually unified surviving elements of both the Sith Eternal and the First Order under a single banner. Many within the emerging Order came to believe that Faethor was a surviving servant of the Emperor’s hidden design, interpreting his return and rise to power as proof that Palpatine’s will continued to shape events even after the fall of Exegol.

To many who joined him, the Eternal Order represented continuity with the past. To Faethor, it was a structure he could control. By allowing his followers to believe they served the Emperor’s future return, he ensured their loyalty while quietly shaping the organization to serve his own ambitions.

=== Establishment on Kapsina ===
[[File:Ellesmeria.png|thumb|right|220px|Ellesmeria after the reoccupation by the Eternal Order.]]
Rather than conceal the Eternal Order in distant Unknown Regions territory, Faethor chose to establish his seat of power on [[Kapsina]], the ruined capital world of [[Clan Plagueis]] in the [[starwars:Deep Core|Deep Core]].

The planet remained largely devastated. Its biosphere had collapsed across much of the surface, leaving only scattered survivable zones amid a landscape dominated by toxic dust storms and environmental instability. Yet beneath the ruins of the old Plagueian capital city remained hardened infrastructure, subterranean facilities, and strategic defensive advantages.

For Faethor, Kapsina served several purposes at once. Practically, it provided a defensible stronghold from which the Eternal Order could consolidate its resources. Symbolically, it represented a deliberate insult to Clan Plagueis, transforming the fallen heart of the Clan’s former dominance into the seat of power for the conspiracy forming against it.

From the broken cities of Kapsina, Faethor began shaping the Eternal Order into a disciplined remnant state.

=== Consolidation and Rebirth ===
The early years of the Eternal Order were devoted to consolidation. Surviving personnel from the First Order provided military organization, fleet doctrine, and intelligence capabilities. Former Sith Eternal adherents contributed clandestine networks, cultic discipline, and knowledge of the arcane technologies and sciences once employed on Exegol.

Through a combination of dark side ritual, Sith Eternal scientific knowledge, and the resources of the growing remnant network, Faethor was able to restore his physical form and reassert himself fully within the galaxy. To his followers, this event became a powerful demonstration that the Eternal Order stood in continuity with the forbidden miracles once associated with the Sith Eternal.

With his position secured, Faethor adopted the title '''Shadow Regent''', claiming to rule only in stewardship of the Emperor’s legacy.

=== The Shadow Campaign Against Clan Plagueis ===
[[File:eternalorderplot.png|thumb|left|220px|Planning the campaign against Plagueis.]]From the beginning, the Eternal Order’s long-term objective extended beyond mere survival. Faethor intended to reassert his influence over [[Clan Plagueis]], and the organization he had built was designed to prepare the conditions necessary to make that possible.

Rather than confront the Clan directly, the Eternal Order began a prolonged campaign of covert manipulation across the Confederacy of the Outer Reaches. Former First Order facilities in the Outer Reaches were quietly reactivated and integrated into the Order’s intelligence network, while hidden listening posts monitored political developments throughout the region.

Agents embedded within commercial and political systems gradually began steering confederate worlds away from reliance on Plagueian leadership. Trade disruptions, rumors, and subtle interference eroded confidence in the stability of [[Aliso]] and its governing institutions.

=== The Crisis on Aliso ===
[[File:alisocrackdown.png|thumb|right|220px|Dread Guard on the streets of Aliso City.]]The effects of this hidden campaign became increasingly visible during the unrest that erupted within Aliso City. Internal tensions between the leadership of Clan Plagueis escalated rapidly, with security crackdowns, political division, and open violence spreading across the capital.

The internal conflict ultimately culminated in open fighting within Aliso itself. During the chaos, [[Selika Roh]] departed the system aboard the Clan flagship ''Ascendancy'', while control of the Pinnacle passed into the hands of opposing forces.

For the Eternal Order, the outcome represented the successful completion of the first phase of Faethor’s design. The Clan had been weakened, divided, and partially isolated from its allies without the Order ever needing to reveal itself as the architect of the crisis.

== Structure ==
The Eternal Order was, at its core, an act of calculated appropriation. It seized the wreckage of the Sith Eternal and the First Order, preserved their symbols, borrowed their structures, and reanimated their myths, but all in service to Faethor’s ambitions.

To the faithful, the Eternal Order was a bridge to the Emperor’s return. To Faethor, it was a bridge to his own restoration as a galactic power.

=== Government and Ideology ===
The Eternal Order’s public ideology was a hybrid of First Order authoritarianism and Sith Eternal restorationism. It preached discipline, secrecy, sacrifice, purity of purpose, and loyalty to the imperial legacy of Palpatine.

Faethor encouraged this belief because it created cohesion among disparate remnants. Yet Faethor himself remained outside that belief, using the Emperor’s memory as a legitimizing myth rather than a genuine article of faith.

=== Military ===
The military of the Eternal Order was modeled outwardly on familiar Imperial and First Order structures while absorbing elements of Sith Eternal fanaticism. It retained disciplined naval hierarchy, stormtrooper formations, intelligence networks, and elite internal security units.

Supreme military command rests with an officer bearing the title of '''Executor'''. This position is held by [[Malfkla Yzu]], a veteran admiral whose career stretches back to the later years of the Galactic Empire.

== Known Assets ==
While much of the Eternal Order’s strength remains deliberately concealed, several categories of military and strategic assets are known to exist within the organization’s control.

=== Fleet Forces ===
The Eternal Order maintains a dispersed naval force composed primarily of surviving vessels from former First Order fleets and remnant Imperial warships preserved in hidden depots following the collapse of the Empire. At the center of this force is a small but powerful squadron of heavy capital ships commanded directly by Executor Malfkla Yzu.

Known capital ships within this force include:

'''Recusant-class Star Destroyers'''

* ''Inevitable Dominion'' – Flagship of Executor Malfkla Yzu.
* ''Shadow of Exegol'' – A modified command destroyer incorporating Sith Eternal communications and sensor technology.

'''Imperial II-class Star Destroyers'''

* ''Unbroken Will'' – A veteran Imperial warship preserved by remnant naval forces following the fall of the Empire, later integrated into Eternal Order command structures as a fleet anchor vessel.
* ''Nightfall Ascendant'' – A strike destroyer configured for rapid-response operations and often deployed as the spearhead of Eternal Order task forces.
* ''Imperious Fate'' – A reserve fleet command ship responsible for coordinating dispersed naval groups and protecting the Order’s hidden logistical corridors.

=== Ground Forces ===
The Eternal Order fields disciplined stormtrooper formations drawn from surviving First Order units as well as newly trained soldiers indoctrinated into the Order’s ideology.

=== Intelligence Network ===
The Eternal Order maintains an extensive intelligence apparatus derived from former First Order surveillance infrastructure and covert Sith Eternal networks.

=== Strategic Installations ===
The Order operates from concealed facilities including abandoned First Order bases, hidden shipyards, supply depots, and deep-space listening posts. Its primary seat of power lies on the devastated world of Kapsina, where fortified command centers and subterranean installations have been constructed beneath the ruins of the former Plagueian capital.

'''Malfkla Yzu''' was an Imperial naval officer who rose to prominence during the later years of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]] and eventually became the Executor of the [[Eternal Order]] under [[Faethor Dejarc]]. A veteran commander whose career spanned the collapse of the Empire, the era of Imperial fragmentation, and the rise and fall of the [[starwars:First Order|First Order]], Yzu became known for his disciplined approach to fleet preservation and strategic restraint.

Unlike many Imperial officers of his generation, Yzu distinguished himself less through dramatic victories than through careful management of ships, personnel, and logistics. He believed Imperial power could only endure through patience and preservation rather than reckless offensives. This outlook allowed him to survive an era in which many Imperial commanders destroyed their own strength pursuing short-lived warlord ambitions.

By the early 40s ABY, Yzu had become one of the principal military architects of the Eternal Order, serving as its Executor and overseeing the organization’s dispersed naval forces from the ruined world of [[Kapsina]] in the [[starwars:Deep Core|Deep Core]].

==Early Career==

Little is recorded about Yzu’s early life before his entry into Imperial service. He emerged from the Imperial Naval Academy system during the later decades of [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]]’s reign, entering a navy already showing signs of overextension.

His early assignments placed him within fleets responsible for protecting the Empire’s core territories. Over time he developed a reputation for organizational discipline and strategic caution rather than personal flair. While many officers pursued advancement through aggressive action, Yzu focused on logistics, fleet readiness, and long-range operational planning.

These skills eventually led to his appointment as commander of the 15th Deep Core Reserve Fleet.

==Commander of the 15th Deep Core Reserve Fleet==

During the later years of the Galactic Empire, Yzu rose to the rank of admiral and assumed command of the 15th Deep Core Reserve Fleet. The formation was tasked with safeguarding key Imperial holdings in the Deep Core and regulating access to some of the Empire’s most secure territories.

Yzu’s command operated primarily from the strategically important [[starwars:Empress Teta|Empress Teta]] system. Rich in industrial resources and positioned as a gateway to the Deep Core, the world served as an important Imperial stronghold during Palpatine’s rule. Officially, the fleet’s [[starwars:Star Destroyer|Star Destroyers]] and support vessels conducted customs enforcement patrols intended to combat smuggling and piracy in the surrounding region.

In reality, the fleet’s responsibilities were more sensitive. Among its duties was maintaining a hyperspace interdiction checkpoint along the only known hyperspace route connecting the Empress Teta system to the interior of the Deep Core. This checkpoint allowed the Empire to monitor and regulate traffic entering the region.

Under Yzu’s leadership the fleet became known for strict operational discipline and quiet efficiency. Rather than seeking combat glory, the 15th Fleet operated as a guardian force, maintaining stability around the Deep Core and ensuring the Empire retained control over its most secure territories.

==The Age of Imperial Fragmentation==

Following the death of Emperor Palpatine and the collapse of centralized Imperial authority, the Empire fragmented into competing successor states. Many commanders declared themselves warlords or aligned with rival regimes.

Yzu avoided these rivalries. Instead of attempting to carve out his own dominion, he focused on preserving ships and personnel wherever possible. His forces withdrew from unwinnable engagements and relocated to hidden anchorages and supply corridors.

This strategy allowed Yzu to maintain a surprisingly intact command structure while other Imperial fleets disintegrated through civil war or absorption by competing factions. Over time he became involved in informal naval networks linking scattered Imperial remnants operating beyond the reach of the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]].

These connections would eventually intersect with the rising power of the First Order.

==Connection to the First Order==

During the years in which the First Order rebuilt its strength within the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]], Yzu’s experience in fleet preservation and clandestine logistics made him a respected figure among remnant naval circles. Although he was not among the political architects of the regime itself, several fleets and supply routes tied to his earlier networks eventually fell within its sphere of influence.

His role during this period remained largely indirect, but his reputation among surviving Imperial officers continued to grow. When the First Order was destroyed during the [[starwars:Battle of Exegol|Battle of Exegol]], many of the remnants tied to those networks once again found themselves leaderless.

It was during this chaotic aftermath that Yzu encountered Faethor.

==Service to the Eternal Order==

By the time Faethor began assembling surviving elements of the First Order and the [[starwars:Sith Eternal|Sith Eternal]] into what would become the Eternal Order, Yzu already commanded the respect of several remaining naval formations. His long career across multiple eras of Imperial collapse made him one of the few officers whose authority could be accepted by traditional Imperial holdouts, First Order veterans, and personnel tied to Sith Eternal infrastructure.

Recognizing both his experience and reputation, Faethor elevated Yzu to the rank of Executor, granting him supreme command of the Eternal Order’s military forces.

From this position Yzu organized the Order’s fleets into dispersed task groups operating across the Outer Reaches and the Deep Core. Rather than forming a single vulnerable armada, his doctrine emphasized secrecy, survivability, and long-term strategic leverage.

==Relationship with Faethor==

Despite serving as the Eternal Order’s military commander, Yzu was never known as a devotee of Sith ideology. His loyalty to Faethor appears to have stemmed less from belief than from pragmatic recognition of the Shadow Regent’s ability to unify otherwise incompatible factions.

Where many officers viewed the cultic traditions inherited from the Sith Eternal with skepticism, Yzu treated them as a political reality to be managed. His concern was not prophecy but preparedness. His task was to ensure the Order’s fleets remained intact and ready for the moment when Faethor’s long campaign against [[Clan Plagueis]] would move from covert destabilization to open war.

'''Faethor Dejarc''', also known by the alias '''Chi Long''' and the title '''the Fire Dragon''', was a powerful Dark Jedi Master and one of the most influential figures in the early history of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. A former [[Grand Master]] of the Brotherhood, he was known for his mastery of the [[starwars:The Force|Force]], his political ambition, and the creation of the elite circle of disciples known as the Dragons. Faethor was also responsible for the founding and early development of [[Clan Plagueis]], which would later become one of the Brotherhood’s most powerful factions.

Though removed from power during his lifetime, Faethor’s influence endured through his disciples and teachings. His apparent death during the [[Horizons|Horizons Crisis]] in [[30 ABY]] marked the end of his era of direct influence. Later events revealed that the Fire Dragon had survived in a different form within the Force.

== Early career ==
[[File:Picture-chilong.JPG|thumb|left|125px|Faethor the Grand Master]]Faethor Dejarc emerged within the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] during a period of political instability. Even among the Brotherhood’s powerful Force users, he distinguished himself through his pursuit of ancient knowledge and his fascination with the deeper mysteries of the dark side.

During his ascent he adopted the alias '''Chi Long''', a name associated with mythic fire dragons. The title reflected both his personal philosophy and the circle of disciples he gathered around him. These disciples became known as the Dragons, a fraternity of powerful Force adepts bound together by loyalty to their master. Through them Faethor extended his influence across the Brotherhood.

== Rise to Grand Master ==
Faethor eventually rose to the position of [[Grand Master]] of the Brotherhood during a time of instability within the Order. His administration focused on consolidating authority and reorganizing elements of the Brotherhood’s leadership structure. He pursued the acquisition of powerful Force artifacts and ancient knowledge which he believed would strengthen the Brotherhood’s long-term dominance.

Despite these ambitions, his rule proved controversial. His secretive leadership style and conflicts with other senior figures gradually eroded support for his administration. After roughly eight months as Grand Master, Faethor was removed from power and replaced by a new leader. Though no longer ruling the Brotherhood directly, the influence of his teachings and disciples continued to shape events within the Order.

== Founding of Clan Plagueis ==
[[File:Faethorcustom.png|thumb|left|100px|Faethor in [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY#27_ABY|27 ABY]]]] Faethor played a central role in the creation of [[Clan Plagueis]], establishing it as a center for powerful dark side adepts. His philosophy emphasized mastery of the Force, personal ambition, and the bond between master and apprentice. These ideas became foundational elements of the clan’s early identity. Many of his disciples rose to positions of prominence, reinforcing Faethor’s reputation as both the founder of the clan and the architect of its earliest traditions.

== The Horizons Crisis ==
During the [[Horizons|Horizons Crisis]] in [[30 ABY]], forces loyal to the rogue Grand Master [[Archibald Zoraan]] launched a devastating campaign across the [[Jusadih System]]. Amid the chaos of the conflict, Faethor was present on the devastated world of [[Kapsina]]. During the later stages of the crisis he became infected with the Horizon plague, a virulent biological weapon that stripped Force users of their connection to the Force. Deprived of the abilities that had defined his power for decades, Faethor was left physically vulnerable.

[[File:Faethorbedead.png|thumb|right|150px|Faethor's death at the hands of soldiers.]] At the site later known as the '''Dragon’s Graveyard''' on Kapsina, Faethor was confronted by soldiers during the collapse of order across the planet. Unable to defend himself due to the effects of the plague, he was gunned down in a concentrated barrage of blaster fire. The soldiers who killed him buried his body where he had fallen.

Though his enemies believed the Fire Dragon destroyed, the violent death of such a powerful dark side adept left a lingering disturbance in the Force surrounding the site of his burial. In time, this disturbance would prove to be more than a fading echo.

== Return ==
For more than a decade following the destruction of Kapsina, Faethor was believed to have died during the Horizons Crisis. In [[41 ABY]], events within the [[Ethereal Realm]] revealed that his consciousness had endured beyond the destruction of his physical form. During operations conducted in that realm, Consul [[Selika Roh]] encountered a powerful Force-bound presence within a spectral reflection of the ruins of Kapsina. The entity revealed itself to be Faethor, whose essence had persisted within the currents of the Force tied to the devastation of Jusadih.

During this encounter Faethor declared that he intended to reclaim the power he had once wielded. The instability surrounding the Ethereal Realm allowed him to break the bonds that had confined him there since his death. His essence escaped the realm and returned to the physical galaxy.

== Formation of the Eternal Order ==
Following his return, Faethor began rebuilding his influence through the creation of the [[Eternal Order]]. Drawing upon scattered remnants of the [[starwars:First Order|First Order]] and the [[starwars:Sith Eternal|Sith Eternal]], he assembled a covert regime composed of surviving fleets, hidden infrastructure, and loyalist networks. By invoking the legacy of [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]] and presenting himself as steward of that legacy, Faethor unified these remnants under a single authority.

He established the organization’s center of power on the ruined world of Kapsina and ruled under the title '''Shadow Regent'''. Through the Eternal Order, Faethor began preparing a long-term campaign to restore his influence and reshape the balance of power within the galaxy.

'''Kapsina''', also known as '''Sigil I''', is the capital world of the [[Jusadih System]] and the former headquarters of [[Clan Plagueis]]. Once a thriving oceanic world rich in mineral resources and Adegan crystal deposits, the planet was transformed into a barren wasteland after the devastation of its biosphere during the [[Horizons|Horizons Crisis]] in [[30 ABY]]. Today the planet remains largely uninhabitable, its surface dominated by deserts, violent dust storms, and the skeletal ruins of its former cities.

Despite its devastation, Kapsina remains historically significant to the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. The world once served as the center of power for Clan Plagueis and the site of numerous events that shaped the clan's early history.

Following the return of [[Faethor Dejarc]] in [[41 ABY]], the ruined world once again became strategically important when the remnants of the [[Eternal Order]] established their hidden center of power within the ruins of the former Plagueian capital.

==History==

[[File:Kapsina.jpg|thumb|left|Kapsina before the devastation of its biosphere.]]

The world now known as Kapsina formed from debris orbiting the star Sigil. The planet was originally cataloged as '''Sigil I''' before later being named after the scientist who first documented it, Dr. Kapsina. Early records of the discovery were eventually lost within the vast archives of the [[starwars:Galactic Republic|Old Republic]], leaving the world largely unexplored for centuries.

In its earliest known era, Kapsina was a water-rich planet dominated by immense oceans. Over thousands of years the increasing heat of its star gradually altered the world’s climate, causing large portions of those oceans to evaporate and leaving vast stretches of arid terrain behind. Even so, the planet retained small seas and extensive mineral deposits beneath its surface.

The first known native culture on Kapsina was the '''Myrsei''', a self-sustaining society devoted to craftsmanship and harmony with the planet’s environment. Their culture emphasized artistic perfection and the forging of exceptional tools and weapons.

Eventually the planet attracted offworld settlers drawn by the wealth of mineral resources hidden beneath its deserts. Mining corporations established large industrial centers, and population growth followed as families settled near the expanding operations.

===Dark Brotherhood Interest===

The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] eventually took interest in Kapsina due to its valuable resources and the presence of Adegan crystal veins. These materials proved useful in the construction of starfighters and capital ships used by the Brotherhood.

The [[Dark Council]] dispatched an [[Envoy]] to survey the planet, ultimately purchasing a mining corporation that would later contribute significant materials toward the construction of the Antei Defense Groups.

This arrangement continued until 22 ABY, when the formation of [[Clan Plagueis]] brought renewed attention to the Jusadih System. The clan relocated its base of operations from the [[Acarr System]] and constructed a monumental headquarters within the corporate city of '''Ellesmeria'''. From that point forward, Kapsina served as the primary homeworld and political center of Clan Plagueis.

===Alien Incursion===

In 21 ABY, alien forces invaded the Jusadih System. Kapsina was the fourth world along their route following [[Shintera]]. Fortunately for the planet’s inhabitants, the alien fleet withdrew before reaching Kapsina itself.

Despite avoiding direct destruction, the invasion had indirect consequences. Both [[Sistros Acquisitions and Holdings]] and [[House Exar Kun]] relocated portions of their operations to Kapsina after their homeworlds suffered damage during the conflict. This influx of refugees initially strained the planet’s infrastructure but eventually strengthened its economy as new industries developed.

===The Horizons Crisis===

Kapsina’s greatest devastation occurred during the [[Horizons|Horizons Crisis]] in [[30 ABY]]. During the conflict, forces loyal to the rogue [[Grand Master]] [[Archibald Zoraan]] attacked the Jusadih System.

After defeating the defending fleet led by the flagship ''Avenger II'', Zoraan’s forces deployed a devastating biological weapon into Kapsina’s atmosphere. The weapon spread rapidly through the biosphere, killing most higher life forms within minutes.

Within hours the weapon had infected nearly all remaining ecosystems on the planet. Within days virtually all native life had perished. The loss of plant life destabilized the atmosphere, causing a rapid environmental collapse.

The surviving climate quickly deteriorated into extreme desert conditions dominated by violent sandstorms and a thin, unstable atmosphere. The surviving population abandoned the planet shortly afterward.

===Eternal Order Occupation===

[[File:Ellesmeria.png|thumb|left|Ellesmeria after the reoccupation by the Eternal Order.]]

For more than a decade following the crisis, Kapsina remained largely abandoned.

After the return of [[Faethor Dejarc]] from the [[Ethereal Realm]] in [[41 ABY]], the ruined world gained renewed strategic importance. Faethor selected Kapsina as the hidden center of power for the emerging [[Eternal Order]], a remnant regime composed of surviving elements of the [[starwars:First Order|First Order]] and the [[starwars:Sith Eternal|Sith Eternal]].

The devastated state of the planet made it an ideal location for concealment. Beneath the ruins of the former Plagueian capital lay hardened infrastructure and subterranean facilities capable of supporting hidden operations.

From these ruins Faethor ruled as '''Shadow Regent''' of the Eternal Order while rebuilding his power in the galaxy.

==Satellite – Nasva==

[[File:Nasva.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Nasva, the moon of Kapsina]]

A single moon, '''Nasva''', orbits Kapsina. Roughly half the size of the moons orbiting [[Aerun]], it appears to be an irregular fragment of planetary material.

The moon has no atmosphere and cannot support life naturally. Its surface consists of jagged peaks and deep valleys composed of mineral-rich black rock.

Despite the hostile environment, Nasva contains valuable mineral deposits. The satellite was officially declared off-limits by the former Ruling Council. Rumors suggest that abandoned research installations may still exist on its surface.

==Planet Geography==

Although the destruction of the biosphere dramatically altered the planet’s surface, the outlines of its original continents remain visible from orbit.

===Kurast===

Located northeast of Khanduras, Kurast consists primarily of sand and clay plains riddled with unstable cave systems. These natural caverns frequently collapse due to seismic activity that continues to affect the region.

Before the planet’s devastation, miners regularly ventured into the region to harvest nearby mineral deposits despite the danger.

===Calimcha===

The northwestern continent of Calimcha is dominated by rugged mountain ranges and vast dune fields. Lava flows remain common throughout the region, creating extremely hazardous terrain.

Despite the danger, the land contains compounds essential to the production of duracrete, which once made it valuable to industrial operations.

===Asinai===

The southeastern continent of Asinai features dramatic differences in elevation. Mountain ranges once yielded large alloy deposits, while the western region known as the '''Barrens''' became a dumping ground for obsolete mining equipment.

Even before the Horizons Crisis, the Barrens had already become a desolate wasteland.

===Schall===

Southwest of Khanduras lies Schall, once a rich source of exotic metals. After its resources were depleted the land was sold to the Myrsei civilization.

At the center of the continent stands a lone volcanic mountain whose electromagnetic interference frequently disrupts advanced technology.

===Khanduras===

Khanduras was once the economic center of Kapsina and the hub of trade between the planet’s continents. Today the landscape is little more than arid plains broken by the remnants of dried seas.

==Cities==

The former cities of Kapsina have deteriorated into ruins after decades of exposure to violent sandstorms and environmental decay.

Only skeletal remains of their original structures still stand. The most recognizable ruins include the cities of '''Sapientia''', '''Dicio''', '''Polleo''', and '''Ellesmeria'''.

Ellesmeria retains the largest number of surviving structures due to the durability of its former military facilities. However, the destruction of the Dark Tower during the withdrawal of Clan Plagueis reduced much of the surrounding district to rubble.

==Landmarks==

* '''Land's End''' – A massive cliff overlooking the remnants of the western sea, riddled with cave systems.
* '''Dragon Forge''' – The legendary forge of the Myrsei, said to be haunted by the spirits of ancient smiths.
* '''Phoenix Falls''' – A dramatic convergence of lava flows cascading over a mountain ridge.
* '''Gates of Vlagrand''' – An ancient defensive pass once used as a military choke point.
* '''Dragon's Graveyard''' – A sacred Myrsei site where legendary weapons and artifacts were laid to rest.
* '''Fallen Moon''' – The Adegan crystal vein located on Khanduras.
* '''Howling Mine''' – A former mining complex where Clan Elder Sarin once conducted alchemical experiments.

'''Fort Dooku''' is the primary base of operations of [[House]] [[House Tyranus|Tyranus]]. It can be described as an impressive fortification that projects the power of [[Clan Plagueis]] across [[Aliso]]. The fort is constructed atop a stone mesa and is located on the plains west of [[The Pinnacle]].

== History ==

After the establishment of House Tyranus was agreed upon by the Plagueian summit, it was decided that the House would need a facility to act as its headquarters. The leadership of Plagueis called upon the aid of the [[Valneikian hive]] to plan and build the facility. A site was chosen outside [[Aliso City]] to further spread the influence of the Ascendant Clan across the frontier world. The Valneikian hive completed the construction of Fort Dooku rapidly and House Tyranus began to migrate there. It took nearly a year before the Fort was operating at peak performance, but the persistence of the Tyrants kept it alive until then.

After the establishment of House Ventress, many of the personnel and resources going into House Tyranus were redistributed. While this did briefly disrupt Fort Dooku’s operation, the House’s new [[Quaestor]] [[Tahiri Drakon Night-Thorn]] was able to get the Fort back on track. With another House competing for influence, there were worries from some that hard times might be ahead for Fort Dooku’s economy, but the impact of House Ventress had yet to manifest on Tyranus or its headquarters.

== Structure ==

A fortress roughly five square kilometers in area, Fort Dooku was erected quickly in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#37 ABY|37 ABY]]. The walls surrounding the stronghold form a hexagonal layout that is divided into six aboveground districts and one belowground district. Fort Dooku’s walls are several meters thick and a dozen meters tall; massive conical durasteel spires are placed within the walls roughly every one hundred meters along the perimeter. Within these spires are defensive turret emplacements and monitoring equipment that keeps the borders of Fort Dooku secure. The walls and spires are also shielded, as is the entirety of Fort Dooku thanks to a series of shield generators throughout the stronghold.

Much of the design and structure of the buildings within Fort Dooku are minimalist and utilitarian, featuring sleek grey durasteel walls and little inventive architecture. The clusters of buildings within the walls rise to points, generally having a pyramidal shape. From among these clusters of pointed roofs, spires rise into the sky. The spires within the walls vary in purpose much more than those along the walls, sometimes providing surveillance or defensive emplacements while sometimes also housing personnel or businesses. Uniformity and a lack of color cause much of the fort to look similar, however many utilize the spires as useful landmarks to navigate and keep their bearings.

== Locations ==

Within the walls of Fort Dooku, there are seven districts. Each district has a distinct function and purpose, and within those districts there are memorable landmarks.

===Market District===

It is the Market District, located in the southern sector of Fort Dooku, nearest the entrance, that not only sees the bulk of the commerce but also provides accommodation for those traders who have been granted clearance to live within the Fort’s walls. While not on the same scale as Aliso City, the area does manage to see a large amount of footfall from civilians, military personnel, and the members of House Tyranus. The stores take on a variety of forms, from custom-built storefronts, to prefabs, all the way down to simple stalls, largely depending on the wealth of the owner before they came to Aliso and how much they were willing to pay the Ascendant Clan for the right to operate in their territory. This district is the largest contributor to the Fort’s economy, helping to keep the stronghold self-sufficient.

====Raging Rancor Repairs====

Located in Fort Dooku’s Market District, Raging Rancor Repairs is a speeder repair shop, the largest in the Fort. A large, brown facsimile of a [[starwars:rancor|rancor’s]] head hangs over the doorway of the garage doors. Unlike many of the structures within Fort Dooku, the architecture of the repair shop is more rounded, rising to four sloping points at each corner of the building. The decor is minimal, as most of the space is used for repairing and storing speeders, parts, and tools. However, entering the lobby or office, one is likely to find deep greens and reds, evoking the jungles of [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] that rancors are native to. If you pay extra, they’ll even give your speeder their signature “Raging Rancor” paintjob, featuring a stylized rancor causing mayhem on the hood of your speeder.

=====The Sleeper’s Nest=====

{{main|Talzin}}

If you make your way all the way back to the office of Raging Rancor Repairs, you may encounter the protocol droid that is staffed there. Give the droid the correct code phrase and they will release the lock on a hidden door behind a 6 foot model rancor standing in the corner. Entering this door will bring you to a turbolift, which takes you down into the entryway of The Sleeper’s Nest. The Sleeper’s Nest is Talzin’s base of operations on Aliso.

=== Entertainment District ===

The Entertainment District is adjacent to the Market District on one side and Residential District on the other. It is here that many entertainment venues have set up shop. During their down time, members of House Tyranus or those visiting Fort Dooku are often seen here, spending their hard earned credits in clubs, taverns, theaters, sports facilities, and many other amenities. While it is not quite as lucrative as the Market District in revenue, it also provides heavily to the economy of Fort Dooku.

====The Serenno Lounge====

The Serenno Lounge is a cantina within the Entertainment District. At first glance, it is much like any other cantina. However, one is barred from entry unless they are a 'follower of Tyranus' or if a member of House Tyranus vouches for them. Even the bartenders have pledged allegiance to the House. As a result, the building is rarely even close to full, and plenty of Tyrants are able to enjoy a quiet drink on their own. The bar is stocked with all kinds of beverages, ranging from cheap drinks to even some of the most exotic and expensive available.

The establishment is embellished with the finest furniture Aliso has to offer, along with more elegant pieces imported from [[starwars:Serenno|Serenno]]. The tables are arranged in a series of booths with the large bar located at the far wall. The center of the room is, in theory, reserved for dancing, but the strict entry requirements leave the area mostly unused, although it is occasionally filled with large amounts of discarded drinks bottles.

====New Scipo Cornerclub====

For those who are barred from entering the Serenno Lounge’s opulent surroundings, there is the New Scipio Cornerclub. An establishment where the booze is cheap and the services are just like the booze, the establishment is frequented mostly by those who are of a lower socioeconomic status than the patrons of The Serenno Lounge. The front of the area follows the conventional cantina layout, with a few alterations to allow for shows to be held in exchange for credits. The rear of the establishment is dedicated to those who would rather their deeds go unseen. While some of the activities taking place would be deemed “illegal” or “exploitative” elsewhere, as long as House Tyranus receives a tidy kickback, they tend to not involve themselves in the goings-on of the New Scipio Cornerclub.

====Tyranus Square====

Tyranus Square is a large, open-air park in the Entertainment District. Featuring a large expanse of grass and many trees and flowers from around Aliso, the Square features more nature than can be found anywhere else within the Fort. It features walking paths, benches, food carts, and a fountain, but is also tightly regulated and monitored to avoid disruptions to its natural beauty. Those Tyrants or other residents seeking a moment of calm or respite often visit here to clear their minds.

===Residential District===

The Residential District is where the civilian occupants of Fort Dooku reside. Within this district are also some motels and hotels to house those who are visiting. This is also where large-scale, crowded housing for any Tyranus “assets” is located. While it is properly maintained, the Residential District is clearly less cared for than the other districts within the Fort. Strict laws and regulations that are heavily enforced to keep the residents in line take priority over things such as cleaning up the alleys or exterminating pests. The gray uniformity of the Fort is most present here, with a distinct lack of uniqueness to the vast majority of the buildings.

===Barracks District===

The Barracks district houses the military personnel of Tyranus as well as any Lords of Plagueis that may belong to the house. Prominent members of House Tyranus are given small but personal homes to live in, which are located closer to the center of the Fort. Areas closer to the walls are dedicated to those who serve Tyranus in the [[Ascendant Fleet]] and [[Ascendant Legion]]. While not as luxurious as the personal residences granted to Tyrants, those who would sacrifice their lives for the Ascendant Clan willingly live comfortably. Unlike the Residential District, the Barracks District is very well looked after and much less heavily regulated.

===Command District===

The Command District is where many of the operational structures important to the function of House Tyranus and Fort Dooku reside. The most prominent of these is Tyranus Citadel, but there are also many communication and surveillance hubs, law enforcement headquarters, maintenance crews, and more that are housed here. The proverbial “head of the snake”, which also features the tightest security of the entire Fort. If you’ve got some business with Tyranus, it will probably be conducted here.

====Tyranus Citadel====

The Tyranus Citadel towers above the rest of the fort, projecting a sense of importance equal to its purpose as the summit of Tyranus’ headquarters. It is located towards the middle of Fort Dooku within the Command District. It’s large, pyramidal design is reminiscent of many other structures within the Fort, but the three massive spires built into it give it a more unique silhouette. These towers function have defensive emplacements within them but also feature the advanced communications and surveillance technology that allows it to act as a command center. The Citadel contains a war/conference room on the top floor, several meeting rooms throughout, as well as personal housing for the Tyranus summit. The facilities within Tyranus Citadel allow the summit and their support staff to command all of the House’s forces from within.

===Staging District===

The Staging District, unlike the other districts, contains very few buildings. Instead, it is mostly open air paved lots and dirt tracts. The purpose of the Staging District is varied based on whatever need Tyranus has for it. Within this District, large scale demonstrations, training exercises, assemblies, and similar events are held. Even the occasional fair or festival may be held here, as it is ideal for setting up temporary structures or buildings. It is often left empty and unused, but when Tyranus has need of it, the Staging District provides.

=== Military Storage District ===

Underground, beneath the Fortress, a garage and hangar have been dug to provide a safe location for the Ascendant Fleet and Ascendant Legion forces under the command of Tyranus to reside. Beside these vehicle storage areas is another large area for general storage of goods, both military and civilian. This underground structure is massive and slopes up into a point beneath the rest of the Fort. The Fort’s spires are also found here, but instead of acting as surveillance and defensive tools, they are mostly utilized as support structures.

The storage area is accessible via a vast series of tunnels where turbolifts ferry military personnel above and below ground. There is also a disguised door dug into the side of the mesa on which Fort Dooku resides that can open to allow ships and vehicles to depart and arrive. These entrances are guarded by separate shields and turrets. The House has a number of droid-operated shuttles that can quickly carry large amounts of Plagueians around the planet for quick deployment or trips to Aliso City.

'''Hyperdyne Systems Interstellar''' is the foremost economic power in the [[Aliso system]] and acts as the covert financial front of [[Clan Plagueis]]. Headquartered on [[starwars:Cadinth|Cadinth]], the conglomerate is under direct control by the Ascendant Clan and operates largely in tandem with the goals and directives of the Houses. Hyperdyne has a hand in most financial operations in the Clan’s domain and its subsidiaries act as the driving financial force of almost every aspect of industry in the Aliso system. The conglomerate is also instrumental in Aliso’s addition to and engagement in the [[Confederacy of the Outer Reaches]], acting as the primary force of trade in the domain’s interactions within the Confederacy.

==History==
Hyperdyne Systems Interstellar was originally founded as Hyperdyne Manufacturing some time before 32 ABY. At the time of [[Clan]] [[Plagueis|Plagueis’]] discovery of and takeover of the company, Hyperdyne was a licensed producer for Sienar Technologies, making hyperdrives and starship engines. The Ascendant Clan decided that the manufacturing company would make a good asset for their nomadic spacefaring status and rebuild their economic portfolio after their loss of the [[Jusadih system]], infiltrating the company and ultimately subjugating the leadership of Hyperdyne Manufacturing in secret.

When Clan Plagueis rediscovered and settled the [[Aliso system]] in 34 ABY, Hyperdyne Manufacturing began its initial reorganization into a conglomerate by funding several projects involved in the construction of [[Aliso City]]. Thus began the process of Hyperdyne changing from an asset into the financial cover and front for the Ascendant Clan’s financial endeavors. In the following 5 years since Aliso City was founded, the company had largely been taking a loss on most of the settlement projects while building out a domain for the Clan to rule. It wasn’t until 39 ABY, when [[starwars:coaxium|coaxium]] was discovered on Cogrion’s moon of [[Cilix]], that Hyperdyne began to take on business ventures that actually turned a profit in the Aliso system. With a substantial profit earned through this mining venture and with much of the Aliso City construction projects completed, Hyperdyne was able to rebrand as the conglomerate Hyperdyne Systems Interstellar and begin taking on ventures for profit rather than to build up the Ascendant Clan. As the company continued to expand and build upon their existing operations, the Clan directed its efforts toward the surrounding systems, laying the groundwork for Clan Plagueis to found the [[Confederacy of the Outer Reaches]] in 41 ABY, where Hyperdyne is operating as an economic power to this day.

==Organization==
Hypedyne Systems Interstellar is a conglomerate and megacorporation that operates as the financial and economic front for Clan Plagueis, though this relationship is effectively invisible to the public. Through Hypedyne, the Clan covertly maintains deeply entrenched contracts and logistical ties with all member worlds of the Confederacy of the Outer Reaches. Though the company's presence on member worlds is often unseen or appearingly benevolent, Hyperdyne's economic prestige in the Plagueian sphere of influence is substantial.

Publicly led by a loyal and capable Board of Trustees, Hyperdyne operates under direct control of the Ascendant Clan, utilizing its many subsidiary companies to accomplish any and all Plagueian goals that require financial and economic power. A part of this apparatus of control appears in the way that the intelligence organization of Clan Plagueis maintains handlers and agents in every major subsidiary of the megacorporation. These agents are often used to covertly gather intelligence while officially conducting routine business matters.

An example of Hypedyne's efforts for Clan Plagueis is shown in their cooperative endeavors with House Ventress, aiding with the unit's secretive machinations as well as economic and political manipulation campaigns. For instance, the House's [[Azorian Citadel|headquarters]] on Cilix is kept secret by Hyperdyne’s coaxium mining. All public-facing civilian operations are performed by middlemen, subcontractors, and employees of Hyperdyne, actively adding insulation from scrutiny through any and all means needed to obscure the location's ulterior purpose.

==Structure==
Hyperdyne Systems Interstellar operates as a conglomerate with many subsidiaries, building upon whatever industries Clan Plagueis requires. Many of the corporations under the Hyperdyne banner have multiple divisions by which they accomplish any and all economic functions for the Ascendant Clan. While not a complete listing of the full scope of Hyperdyne’s subsidiaries, the following represent the most prominent companies owned and operated by the financial power.

===Hyperdyne Industries===
Hyperdyne Industries is a highly diverse company that focuses on a wide array of industrial applications that constitute the backbone of industry in the Aliso system. They have prominent divisions performing construction and maintenance in several aspects of industrial technology including, but not limited to: tactical systems, communications, and manufacturing.
===Hyperdyne Mining===
Hyperdyne Mining is the corporate arm of the parent company that handles mining operations in the Aliso system and across the Confederacy of the Outer Reaches. In order to facilitate these mining operations across such a wide array of locales and sites, Hyperdyne Mining employs an in-house surveying division.
===Hyperdyne Energy===
Hyperdyne Energy handles energy production, most prominently in terms of coaxium production in the Aliso system, but also in other areas of the galaxy. In addition to producing energy, they have the Power Systems division, among others, that focuses on building out mechanisms for energy supply lines. While their presence on Cilix is one of their most prolific stations in the area, resulting in extensive integration with [[House Ventress]] administration at that site, the company also performs energy production throughout the Confederacy of the Outer Reaches and the galaxy at large.
===Hyperdyne Laboratories===
Hyperdyne Laboratories is a powerful subsidiary for the parent company, working with biotechnical applications of advanced innovations. Designing and building the most cutting-edge technologies for the Ascendant Clan is an integral part of their mission at Hyperdyne Laboratories and has advanced Hyperdyne’s position as an innovative powerhouse in the galaxy. Their primary divisions include, but are not limited to: cybernetics, biological research, and technological innovation.
===Hyperdyne Logistics===
Hyperdyne Logistics operates as the facilitator of the flow of goods and services for the Hyperdyne conglomerate and the galaxy at large. Maintaining these logistical solutions for the business mainly falls upon the Freight and Transportation divisions of the company. Though these divisions make up the bulk of their business, they are not the only mechanisms by which Hyperdyne Logistics manages their industry.
===Hyperdyne Technical Institute===
Hyperdyne Technical Institute is a corporately owned and operated training facility for Hyperdyne Systems Interstellar. Its curriculum covers a wide array of occupations and industries in order to act as an in-house, dedicated method for teaching the conglomerate’s workforce how to perform within their roles and jobs while also maintaining a level of brand loyalty in the employees. Their most prominent campus in the area is located in Aliso City, as per their requirements for recent ventures in the Confederacy of the Outer Reaches.

}}The '''Ascendant Legion''' is made up of all ground forces controlled by [[Clan]] [[Plagueis]], the Ascendant Clan. Controlled by the [[Plagueis Summit]] and under the direct command of General [[Ranthe Benzayn]], these droids are completely loyal to their dark masters and obey the will of Ascension at all times. Originally formed in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|27 ABY]], it was restructured first in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|30 ABY]]. Following the losses sustained in 34 ABY, the Legion was restructured again and continues to be a ruthless force.

==History==
The Ascendant Legion was originally founded by [[Kal di Plagia Vorrac]] as a reorganization of the [[Jusadih Military Regime|Jusadih Military Regime's]] Branches in 27 ABY. After the departure of Commander Vorrac, the Branches split apart into factions of renegade troops and Dark Jedi and waged civil war against one another. Seeing that only cohesive, true Leadership could unite the Ascendant House and turn it against its enemies, the Dark Jedi who would become known as [[Primus Pilus]] led guerrilla assaults and deadly strikes against the rebellious factions until all were once again made to submit to the Quaestor’s authority. Following the resolution of this conflict, Quaestor [[Tra'an Reith]] reorganized the remnants of the old Army and Intelligence Branches into the Legion, placing the Army and the Directorate firmly and permanently under the command of the [[Plagueis Summit]]. Following the [[Clan_Plagueis_history#The_Cantonica_Accords|Cantonica Accords]], the Legion's infantry was almost entirely replaced by droid forces.

== Organization ==
The Ascendant Legion is organized as a combined operational command that inlcudes ground and aerospace. While General Benzayn is usually directly commanding the overall operations of the Legion, the Legion's aerospace operations are almost always assigned to support elements of the Ground force and therefore under his command as well. This includes strike fighter forces from the [[Ascendant Fleet]] that are engaged in ground support operations.

Following the restructuring of the Legion in 34 ABY, the Plagueian army shifted to be formulated around regimental combat teams. The regimental combat team (RCT) is the basic deployable unit of maneuver in the Ascendant Legion. A regimental combat team consists of one combat arms branch maneuver regiment, and its assigned support and fire units. The brigade is normally commanded by a Brigadier (O-7). A regimental combat team carries with its support units necessary to sustain its operations away from its parent unit. RCTs contain organic artillery support as well as air support assets.

The Legion is itself divided into four RCTs: [[item:46713|Armored RCT Alpha]], [[item:46712|Mobile Infantry RCT Beta]], [[item:52172|Mobile Infantry RCT Gamma]], and [[item:56861|Armored RCT Delta]]. The four units are part of the overall legion, and serve under the direction of the current Dread Lord. RCTs Alpha and Delta are the Legion's primary armored force. They were designed around combined arms battalions that contain both [[itemprototype:465|AT-ATs]] and [[itemprototype:447|Armored Assault Tanks]]. Other vehicles, such as [[itemprototype:469|AT-STs]] and [[itemprototype:450|T2-B tanks]], operate in a supporting role. Artillery support is provided by both [[itemprototype:248|J-1 Proton Cannons]] as well as heavier [[itemprototype:245|Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery walkers]] with air support consisting of a squadron of [[itemprototype:890|TIE/SK atmospheric fighters]]. RCTs Beta and Gamma, however, are infantry forces structured around the [[itemprototype:460|Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry]] functioning as a mobile infantry element. While the armored RCTs do inlcude LAAT/i support, RCTs Beta and Gamma was constituted so that each and every soldier can be transported aboard one of the gunships. Additionally, [[itemprototype:236|WLO-5 Speeder Tanks]] along with [[itemprototype:426|Ultra Light Assault Vehicles]] provide the unit with a highly mobile light-armored strike capability. Additionally, the unit is supported entirely by [[itemprototype:247|AV-7 antivehicle cannons]], favoring the repulsor-based weapon system for greater battlefield mobility.

== Rank Structure ==
While the army operated by Clan Plagueis is overseen by free officers, the non-commissioned portions of the army ranks are entirely made up of slave soldiers. As such, a formalized rank structure does not exist for those below officer rank within the Legion. The officer's rank insignia are worn on the left side of the chest.

}}The '''Ascendant Legion''' is made up of all ground forces controlled by [[Clan]] [[Plagueis]], the Ascendant Clan. Controlled by the [[Plagueis Summit]] and under the direct command of General [[Ranthe Benzayn]], these droids are completely loyal to their dark masters and obey the will of Ascension at all times. Originally formed in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|27 ABY]], it was restructured first in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|30 ABY]]. Following the losses sustained in 34 ABY, the Legion was restructured again and continues to be a ruthless force.

==History==
The Ascendant Legion was originally founded by [[Kal di Plagia Vorrac]] as a reorganization of the [[Jusadih Military Regime|Jusadih Military Regime's]] Branches in 27 ABY. After the departure of Commander Vorrac, the Branches split apart into factions of renegade troops and Dark Jedi and waged civil war against one another. Seeing that only cohesive, true Leadership could unite the Ascendant House and turn it against its enemies, the Dark Jedi who would become known as [[Primus Pilus]] led guerrilla assaults and deadly strikes against the rebellious factions until all were once again made to submit to the Quaestor’s authority. Following the resolution of this conflict, Quaestor [[Tra'an Reith]] reorganized the remnants of the old Army and Intelligence Branches into the Legion, placing the Army and the Directorate firmly and permanently under the command of the [[Plagueis Summit]]. Following the [[Clan_Plagueis_history#The_Cantonica_Accords|Cantonica Accords]], the Legion's infantry was almost entirely replaced by droid forces.

== Organization ==
The Ascendant Legion is organized as a combined operational command that inlcudes ground and aerospace. While General Benzayn is usually directly commanding the overall operations of the Legion, the Legion's aerospace operations are almost always assigned to support elements of the Ground force and therefore under his command as well. This includes strike fighter forces from the [[Ascendant Fleet]] that are engaged in ground support operations.

Following the restructuring of the Legion in 34 ABY, the Plagueian army shifted to be formulated around regimental combat teams. The regimental combat team (RCT) is the basic deployable unit of maneuver in the Ascendant Legion. A regimental combat team consists of one combat arms branch maneuver regiment, and its assigned support and fire units. The brigade is normally commanded by a Brigadier (O-7). A regimental combat team carries with its support units necessary to sustain its operations away from its parent unit. RCTs contain organic artillery support as well as air support assets.

The Legion is itself divided into four RCTs: [[item:46713|Armored RCT Alpha]], [[item:46712|Mobile Infantry RCT Beta]], [[item:52172|Mobile Infantry RCT Gamma]], and [[item:56861|Armored RCT Delta]]. The four units are part of the overall legion, and serve under the direction of the current Dread Lord. RCTs Alpha and Delta are the Legion's primary armored force. They were designed around combined arms battalions that contain both [[itemprototype:465|AT-ATs]] and [[itemprototype:447|Armored Assault Tanks]]. Other vehicles, such as [[itemprototype:469|AT-STs]] and [[itemprototype:450|T2-B tanks]], operate in a supporting role. Artillery support is provided by both [[itemprototype:248|J-1 Proton Cannons]] as well as heavier [[itemprototype:245|Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery walkers]] with air support consisting of a squadron of [[itemprototype:890|TIE/SK atmospheric fighters]]. RCTs Beta and Gamma, however, are infantry forces structured around the [[itemprototype:460|Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry]] functioning as a mobile infantry element. While the armored RCTs do inlcude LAAT/i support, RCTs Beta and Gamma was constituted so that each and every soldier can be transported aboard one of the gunships. Additionally, [[itemprototype:236|WLO-5 Speeder Tanks]] along with [[itemprototype:426|Ultra Light Assault Vehicles]] provide the unit with a highly mobile light-armored strike capability. Additionally, the unit is supported entirely by [[itemprototype:247|AV-7 antivehicle cannons]], favoring the repulsor-based weapon system for greater battlefield mobility.

}}
Founded in 39 ABY by [[Qormus Aquila]] and [[Selika Roh]], House Ventress is a distinguished arm of [[Clan]] [[Plagueis]]. In contrast to its counterpart, House [[Tyranus]], Ventress operates with subtlety and strategic finesse. Positioned strategically on the moon Cilix, Azorian Citadel serves as its hidden fortress, drawing power from the gas giant [[Aliso_system#Cogrion|Cogrion]]

Guided by the vision of Selika Roh, the Dread Lord of Clan Plagueis, Ventress excels in political manipulation and covert influence. Beyond its defense role, the house is a masterful player in the intricate game of Sith politics, carving a niche as a powerhouse in the shadows.

== History ==
=== Founding ===
In the galactic year 39 ABY, the visionary minds of [[Qormus Aquila]] and [[Selika Roh]] converged to give rise to a formidable entity within the illustrious Clan Plagueis — House Ventress. As founders and architects of this clandestine house, Qormus and Selika, known as the Dread Lord, embarked on a mission to carve a niche distinct from their sibling house, [[Tyranus]], within the enigmatic folds of the Sith traditions.

While House Tyranus thrived on overt military might and a confrontational demeanor, House Ventress emerged as the epitome of subtlety and strategic finesse. Qormus, donned as the Left Hand of Dread, and Selika, the formidable Dread Lord of [[Clan Plagueis]], envisioned Ventress as a shadowy force, weaving through the complex web of galactic politics and power dynamics. Their approach was calculated, their moves deliberate, making House Ventress a subtle but potent influence in the tapestry of the Sith legacy.

The foundation of House Ventress coincided with the strategic establishment of the Ventress headquarters on the distant moon of Cilix, orbiting the gas giant Cogrion. Amidst the frozen expanse of Cilix, the Ventress stronghold, Azorian Citadel, stood as a testament to the house's commitment to secrecy and security. Ice Station Zerek, connected to the sea floor stronghold, served as the surface gateway, providing an additional layer of defense against potential threats.

Fuelled by the boundless power harnessed from Cogrion's geothermal activity, House Ventress not only secured its position within Clan Plagueis but also demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the pursuit of power, influence, and the subtle manipulation of the galaxy's destiny. With House Ventress at the forefront, the Sith legacy evolved, embracing both the overt strength of Tyranus and the covert mastery of Ventress, creating a dynamic balance within the dark corridors of the Force.

== Organization ==
House Ventress operates within the hierarchical framework characteristic of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, with a well-defined structure aimed at maximizing efficiency and strategic prowess. The organization is led by a singular figure, the Quaestor, known within House Ventress as the Veiled Orchestrator. Assisting the Quaestor in their leadership role is the Aedile, who serves as the Silent Strategist and second-in-command, contributing to the overall coordination of the House's endeavors.

House Ventress draws its name and inspiration from the formidable [[starwars:Asajj Ventress|Asajj Ventress]], who serves as its guiding force. While Asajj embodies the dark side's influence within the house, it's her visions and directives that shape the overarching goals and aspirations of House Ventress. As a cunning manipulator with a profound understanding of the Sith arts, Asajj Ventress stands as a source of inspiration and guidance for all members of the house.

Within the organizational structure of House Ventress, the emphasis lies on subtlety and strategic finesse. Members are encouraged to navigate the intricate web of galactic politics and power dynamics, embodying the clandestine nature of the Sith legacy. The house's primary seat of power, Azorian Citadel on the moon Cilix, serves as the central hub for planning, coordination, and the execution of calculated maneuvers.

As members of House Ventress strive to embody the legacy of their founders, Qormus Aquila and Selika Roh, they contribute to the house's collective strength, ensuring that the balance between overt power and covert mastery is maintained within the dark corridors of the Force. The organization's structure, guided by the principles of House Ventress, reflects a commitment to achieving dominance through calculated subtlety in the pursuit of the Sith's ultimate objectives.

== Headquarters ==
The Ventress headquarters is on Cilix, a moon of Cogrion. Cilix is entirely covered in ice, with the icy crust covering a water ocean that spans the entire surface. No other bodies in near-Cogrion space have any assets to defend. The main Ventress base is Azorian Citadel which sits on the sea floor of Cilix and is connected by an umbilical and lift system to Ice Station Zerek on the surface. This serves as one of the major defense mechanisms of Azorian Citadel, in that it can have all the forces on the surface withdraw into the sea floor location and then retract the connection to the surface. Any enemy would have to be prepared with submersibles to even reach the base. The sea floor location is also where the primary shield generator is located to project the area shield at the surface. Power for the shield and the rest of the base is taken from geothermal activity generated by tidal forces from Cogrion, so power is virtually unlimited.

== Character History ==
Born in a desolate region of a far away galaxy, Kalen is a descendant of a group of survivors from a ‘lost’ Republic squadron of Dreadnoughts. He grew up his entire life either on one of the ships or on a small, nearly barren colony his Jedi grandfather had helped establish. Roughly 49000 people were aboard the group of 5 Dreadnoughts that had been swept away and deposited there by a group of ornery migrating space whales.

In mid ABY 43 Kalen and the rest of the descendants luckily spotted a different group of space whales migrating back towards their ‘home’ galaxy. They scrambled onto their ships which had been seldom used for the last 10 years, and set course to make a rendezvous. After a rough trip home, during which Kalens ship has been the only one to survive, approx 9000 of the group survived and were deposited on the outer rim/wild space frontier. After being 'home' for a few weeks, the group took a poll and decided to sell their antique ship(netting each person 8500 credits) and go their seperate ways. Many went corewards to find long lost family, others found planets nearby and took work, still more signed onto colony ships in attempts to build new lives.

Kalen and the 1 other grandfathered Jedi from the group of survivors both headed for Arx after hearing that they may find other Jedi there. After a month on Arx, and getting low on credits, Kalen picked up and completed a few contracts and bounties from the infamous Dath Kossir. As it happened Dath was an associate of House Ventress, and after a random meeting at the spaceport on Aliso, Kalen joined the group himself. He is currently the only known Light side Jedi adherent who is a full member of Clan Plagueis. He serves as a gunboat flotilla leader part time in the Ventress military, and he also unknowingly serves as an asset for the ‘Unseen Eyes’, one of the house's shadowy paramilitary organizations.

Kalen, ever the busy body and optimist as stated also does independent contracting when not employed in other duties. After a few weeks on Aliso he and the local tailors daughter began dating. They currently live together in a prefab home on the outskirts of Aliso City. Since returning from the other galaxy, Kalen has not kept up with his Jedi training and traditions as much as he would like to. And a few matches in the ACC, swiftly showed him how outmatched he was in terms of the combat applications of the Force.

=== Early Life ===
Kalen was born early into the second generation of his community. After 8-10 years of being lost, they self organized and began to breed in a recognition that they may never make it home. Eventually when Kalen was 4 the group of 5 ships had found a somewhat habitable world, and began to build a hardscrabble colony. It wasn't luxurious, but the group of nearly 50000 began to set down roots.

Kalen was trained in the ways of the force and his earliest memories are of his grandfather teaching him to levitate objects. After his second day of training with a lightsaber, at the age of 6 his grandfather suddenly passed away. Kalen was given his grandfather's Jedi Armor, High Council Pendant and Jedi Robes as an inheritance that he maintains in his possession to this day.

He showed an attitude for starship piloting during his teenage years, as the small squadron still operated some of its vessels and shuttles frequently. They would scout for new worlds and were constantly on the lookout for some whales who might take them home. It was an existence filled with monotone and routine. But at the age of 19 he was a senior shuttle pilot and had been made a Jedi Knight by his father.

After many years of toiling on their dustbowl colony Kalen, now 28, was dispatched by the group's leader to take one of the Dreadnoughts and head to a local comet cloud and farm several thousand tons of water. It was during this ultimately successful mission that his younger sister tragically died in an accident on one of the comets. As he was increasingly given more and more responsibilities by the group's leader and his own father(who sat on the makeshift ruling council) Kalen never truly was able to mourn the loss of his sister.

By the age of 31 he was permanently assigned as the 'ready group' Captain. It was a team of officers and crew who maintained the 5 vessels(2 of which they kept in geosync orbit permanently, and 3 were maintained in a spaceworthy condition on the surface parked near their colony) for future use.

=== Jedi Upbringing and Training ===
The lost squadron had 2 Jedi aboard to start, Kalen's grandfather, and what would become his great aunt. The 2 quickly realized they may never get home, they hatched a plan to form an adhoc Jedi training program, and eventually their own 3 person High Council as each of them married force sensitive partners and each produced several children. The children were not forced to join the ‘Academy’ but a majority did. At its peak, Kalen's Padawan class consisted of 5 apprentices(4 going on to be named Knights), and the generation after him had 7 apprentices(3 becoming knights) at the time of their return trip. Sadly all the Jedi aside from Kalen and Syla Tyral, a rival and former love interest of his, were killed aboard the other 4 ships that did not survive the trip.

With a midichlorian count of roughly 11,500 per cell, he was below the standard threshold for consideration to be made a Jedi Master(12,500 being the bar set for Masters). But due to a derth of qualified candidates and the advancing age of his fathers generation, Kalen was named a Jedi Master by his father,62 aunt, 60 and second cousin, 59, and installed on their impromptu Jedi Council mere weeks before they had hitched a ride home.

===Current Circumstances===
He serves as a flotilla training officer part time in the Ventress military, on loan to the Ascendant Fleet, Aliso Security Force, based at the Pinnacle on Alisa. He also unknowingly serves as an asset for the ‘Unseen Eyes’, one of the house's shadowy paramilitary organizations. In his first month as a member of Clan Plagueis he has; Completed two bounties, ran a study on Uluv, helped defend a colony from bandit attacks, helped to lead a mission to eradicate a drug cartel base, aided in ensuring that Conner Trune recieves the inheritence he is entitled to, and nearly crashed his new modded out GX-1 short hauler into a Brotherhood social function at Lulaires farm on Kasiya, nearly killing the Brotherhood DGM and Aedile of House Ventress in the process.

Kalen, ever the busy body and optimist earns a good living as an independent contracting when not employed in other duties. After a few weeks on Aliso he and the local tailors daughter began dating. They currently live together in a prefab home on the outskirts of Aliso City. Since returning from the other galaxy, Kalen has not kept up with his Jedi training and traditions as much as he would like to.

== Physical Description ==
Decently tall, with an angular face and pointed chin. He is not overly handsome but is not unpleasant to look at either. He has auburn hair, green eyes and a fit swimmers physique he had maintained during frequent trips to the ships onboard pool.

In his first month as a member of Clan Plagueis he has; Completed two bounties, ran a study on Uluv, helped defend a colony from bandit attacks, helped to lead a mission to eradicate a drug cartel base, aided in ensuring that Conner Trune recieves the inheritence he is entitled to, and nearly crashed his new modded out GX-1 short hauler into a Brotherhood social function at Lulaires farm on Kasiya, nearly killing the Brotherhood DGM and Aedile of House Ventress in the process.

Kalen, ever the busy body and optimist earns a good living as an independent contracting when not employed in other duties. After a few weeks on Aliso he and the local tailors daughter began dating. They currently live together in a prefab home on the outskirts of Aliso City. Since returning from the other galaxy, Kalen has not kept up with his Jedi training and traditions as much as he would like to.

}}'''The Pinnacle''' is the main base of operations for [[Clan Plagueis]] on the surface of [[Aliso]]. Formerly a maximum security prison complex, the Pinnacle has intricate security systems and defenses at its disposal.

== History ==
Upon the arrival of Clan Plagueis the Pinnacle was in disrepair, its databanks wiped of any historical data, and devoid of any signs of recent life. The true age of the Pinnacle is unknown but was created sometime during the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]] by the [[starwars:Confederacy of Independent Systems|Confederacy of Independent Systems]]. Sometime either during or after the war the facility was abandoned before being discovered by Clan Plagueis, and has now become the center of military and economic power on the planet, with surrounding communities quickly sprawling out from it.

== Physical Description ==
The Pinnacle is a tall, closely built conglomerate of towers with the main tower reaching a height of 612 meters. At the base of the Pinnacle is a larger, wider support structure with many rooms repurposed for the needs of Clan Plagueis. Although the outside of the Pinnacle is protected by a shielding system, the inside is just as formidable with internal shielding grids, anti-riot control systems, and bulkhead controls making any attempt to overtake the Pinnacle nearly impossible.

While many of the lower levels originally served as prison cells and have since been repurposed, most of the upper levels served as offices and other similar facilities that retain those purposes under Clan Plagueis. On the top level is a command and control center which has been refitted to serve as more than just a control center of the former prison, but also as a command center for Clan Plagueis with a much more versatile control and communications system. There are also several sublevels, 28 all together, to which the bottom most levels formerly housed the maximum security wing of the complex. The upper sublevels still serve as the main hangar and spaceport which sprawls out onto the basin below the cliff the Pinnacle sits on.

===The Whisper Gallery of the di Plagia===

Hidden in the deepest recesses of the Pinnacle—the imposing headquarters of Clan Plagueis—lies a place spoken of only in whispers and speculation: the Whisper Gallery of the di Plagia. Accessible only through a narrow corridor of dark, polished stone and sealed behind massive, perfectly bisected blast doors, this secluded chamber exists outside the reach of the known levels of the citadel, as if purposely forgotten by time and architecture alike.

The corridor that leads to it is dimly lit by upcast sconces, their light glancing off the ceiling and casting long, oppressive shadows that stretch along the stone walls. Every footstep in this hall echoes with a calculated resonance, as if the very passage was designed to amplify anxiety and awe. Intimidation clings to the air like incense—thick, deliberate, and heavy with purpose.

Beyond the threshold lies the Whisper Gallery itself, a circular chamber seemingly hewn from untouched, living rock. The chamber’s walls remain unfinished, raw stone that looms like ancient sentinels around a centerpiece of exceptional craftsmanship: a massive, six-meter round table carved entirely from a single slab of wroshyr wood. Its dark, rich grain gleams with a mirror-like polish, broken only by a central gap that allows entry to the heart of the room. Encircling the table are high-backed chairs, obsidian-dark and austere, thrones of judgment and power arranged for the highest echelons of the Ascendant Clan.

Encircling the outer walls of the chamber stand a series of stone pedestals, each crowned with a softly glowing stone. These are no ordinary artifacts—their ambient light pulses faintly with a Force resonance that whispers just at the edge of perception. With focus, the whispers take shape as fragmented thoughts, half-formed emotions, or ghostly voices—yet never fully coalesce. These stones, the supposed prison or reliquary of the di Plagia's most storied figures, embody the chamber’s mythos. Some say they hold the souls of the clan’s most honored dead; others believe they trap traitors and enemies, bound eternally in silent penance.

Known in legend as much as in fear, the Whisper Gallery is not merely a place of meeting. It is a sanctum of legacy, judgment, and the hidden truths of Clan Plagueis. Those summoned to its center are measured not only by the living but by the dead—or worse, by those who still listen.

Di Plagia

{{DISPLAYTITLE:di Plagia}}
[[File:DiPlagiaCrest.jpg|thumb|180px|right|Seal of the ''di Plagia'']]
Being granted the [[Clan]] name is the highest honor any Clan can bestow upon its members. It is reserved for those members who have demonstrated the utmost loyalty, dedication, and activity. These are the best of the best, the absolute pinnacle of [[Plagueis]] membership. They have demonstrated their dedication to the Clan over a period of time always counted in years, thus few members receive the honor in any given year. They may have served as a leader or as a regular member, but their activity levels have always been in the highest categories within the Clan. Adding ‘di Plagia’ to your name never comes easy, but it is an award much worth striving for.

== Granting Process ==
There is a very specific procedure that must be followed when it comes to the granting of the Clan name, it is hereby stated that:

* The [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] will review the most excellent members of the Clan based on their personal experiences and on recommendations from Clan members and leaders. They will apply the strictest standards to the selection process – sometimes they may not find anyone worthy. If they believe they have found a member who is worthy of the award, they may proceed to the next step.

* After having a worthy member, the Consul, Proconsul, or a sitting member of the "di Plagia" bring the applicant before the assembled ‘di Plagia’. They present their case to the assembly and then the entire current ‘di Plagia’ hold a vote. A majority must vote in favor for that person to be inducted. If a majority does not vote in favor the member is not to be inducted, although they may be presented again at a later date. For the purpose of determining majority, abstentions count as a "Nay" vote.

* If the member is approved by the "di Plagia" assembly, a copy of the request to the assembly along with the vote of the assembly are passed on to the [[Grand Master]] and his [[Deputy Grand Master|Deputy]], who give a final blessing. Finally, the member is then guided through the "di Plagia" rituals, known only to those who have completed this incredibly difficult quest.

== Revoking a di Plagia ==
Revoking the title of "di Plagia" can only be done under serious circumstances. Examples of reasons for revocation include, but are not limited to, [[Chamber of Justice]] conviction, conduct unbecoming a Plagueian, etc. Then the "di Plagia" assembly can be gathered by the Consul to vote on a revocation. The revocation vote must pass with a super-majority of two-thirds for the name to be revoked from the member.

== Honored di Plagia ==
* [[Dacien Victae]]
* [[Tra'an Reith]]
* [[Arden Karn]]
* [[Teylas Ramar]]
* [[Selika Roh]]
* [[Furios Morega]]
* [[TuQ'uan Varick]]
* [[Tahiri Drakon Night-Thorn|Tahiri Thorn Morte Tarentae]]
* [[Alaris Jinn]]
* [[Nora Olen]]

== Rogue di Plagia ==
Occasionally, Plagueians granted the title of di Plagia will become [[Rogue|Rogue Dark Jedi]]. These members technically retain the title in their names, and are still considered "di Plagia" by the [[House]]. While not always trusted by all Plagueians, these members have done the Clan no wrong and are welcomed back into the fold whenever the opportunity arises.

* [[Valerian Orzon|Valerian di Plagia Orzon]]
* [[Ky Terrak|Ky Terrak di Plagia]]
* [[Yzarc Rellik Kaeth|Yzarc Rellik Kaeth di Plagia]]
* [[Jonaleth Isradia]]
* [[Vivackus Kavon]]
* [[Aabsdu Dupar]]
* [[Qormus Aquila]]

== Former di Plagia ==
Throughout time, there have been those blessed with the honorable name of ''di Plagia'' that dropped the name. This is caused for various reasons, whether they are found guilty of a horrible crime, leave the clan, or just drop the name. Some of these members retain the title, though it is lost should they make another Clan or House their home.

Council of the Wise

2024-06-06T18:08:03Z

Selika: Sarin, not Kir

{{Historic|Plagueis}}
The '''Council of the Wise''' was the advisory board for [[Clan Plagueis]] and its Summits. After the [[Second Darkness|Rite of Supremacy]], however, the Council was dissolved due to its failure in providing leadership and direction for the struggling clan. Incomplete records exist detailing a log of which members served at the Council during its history.
[[File:CPwarbanner2.gif|thumb|406px|right|Warbanner of Council of the Wise]]
== Council Background ==
In the depths of Korriban, the Eldritch Cabal awakened the spirit of [[starwars:Darth Plagueis|Lord Plagueis]], and in their mortal forms he invested some part of his great and expansive power. Dark Jedi Master [[Sarin|Aristan Dantes]] was given the secret of Plagueis’ wisdom, and when he returned from the necropolis world forged a Council of the Wise to preserve and maintain Plagueis' legacy.

The Council members were the wisest, most powerful and loyal of the Children of Plagueis and were entrusted with sacred duties to carry out to preserve the [[Clan]]. Each of these duties, when joined, formed the Mystery of Plagueis, and the Council as a whole revealed his Wisdom. The Council met in a secret chamber within the fortress of Clan Plagueis, accessible only to the [[Consul]], [[Proconsul]] and the Council. In their areas of control, the Council's word was law.

Appointment to the Council was not easy to obtain. Kir Katarn brought back from Korriban an artifact called the Staff of Veils, an ancient symbol of Wisdom throughout the galaxy blessed by the spirit of Lord Plagueis. Through its mysterious powers, the Staff selected new council members. Should any position be vacant, the reigning Consul brought candidates to the great vault where the Staff was kept and presented each individual to the artifact. When the ceremony ended, the Staff will spin and glow the color of the position vied for. Upon coming to a rest, the Staff would point towards the heart of the chosen.

== Council Positions ==
;Loremaster (Purple) 
:The greatest and wisest scholar of Plagueis was chosen for this post. To them was entrusted the ancient knowledge of Lord Plagueis and control of the [[starwars:Book_of_Shadows|Book of Shadows]]. They were the greatest teacher of the Clan, the Master of Masters, and keeper of the sacred histories and artifacts. To them fell the duty to preserve these things and teach [[Initiate]]s the ways of Plagueis and the [[starwars:Dark Side|Dark Side]]. They were acknowledged as the most skilled in the Force and powers of the Clan. The Loremaster was the head of the Council.

;Swordmaster (Blue) 
:Champion of Plagueis and General of the Armies of Life and Death, the Swordmaster was the sworn protector of the summit of Clan Plagueis and guardian of its fortresses and domiciles. They were the greatest and most skilled combatant within the Clan and led armies into battle at the Summits’ decree.

;Watchmaster (Yellow) 
:Regent of the [[Jusadih System]], the Watchmaster was governor of the planets and peoples thereupon, given trust to oversee the races under the Clan’s control and liaison with their governments. The Watchmaster was the chief spy and espionage agent for the Clan, in charge of bringing technology and information into Plagueis and keeping the Summit up to date with current affairs. They also acted as envoy and ambassador for Plagueis to the rest of the galaxy, should the need arise.

;Nightmaster (Red)
:Lord of the eternal night of space, the Nightmaster was commander of the fleets of Clan Plagueis, their admiral and protector of the Jusadih System. To them fell the charge to guard and ward the space above planets, to keep ever vigilant duty, and fortify the sanctum of the ''Clan of Life and Death''.

;Shadowmaster (Green)
:Master of the shadows and art of stealth and murder, the Shadowmaster was the chief assassin and bounty hunter for the Clan, controlling specialized Dark Jedi assassins and hunters for the Summit to eliminate enemies who must be silenced without all-out war or bringing in avowed enemies of the Clan. The Shadowmaster was also Plagueis’ link to the criminal underworld and was skilled in obtaining resources and information.

== Council Appointment ==
When a position on the Council of the Wise was vacated, the reigning Consul chose a member within the Clan to fill the void. The Council appointee possessed the qualities of wisdom, dignity, fortitude and prudence. The appointee should have possessed a multitude of leadership positions throughout the clan and a history of improving the clan at several levels. Most often the appointee resigned from a leadership position and his appointment became an honor and revelation of gratitude. In addition, the appointee was likely an upper-echelon [[Equite]] or [[Elder]].

Although the Consul has complete authority to appoint members onto the Council of the Wise, it was recommended he consult the Council and other Plagueis summit members before officially appointing the new member. In addition, the Council made recommendations, but the final decision rested with the Consul.

== Council Authority ==
The Council was strictly an advisory body to members of the Plagueis Summit. The Consul chose the capacity to which he utilized the Council and each worked with them in different ways. The Council made recommendations to the Consul and assisted in projects and tasks within the clan, but overall authority remained with the Consul.

== Council Requirements and Removal ==
Members of the Council of the Wise were required to fulfil certain amounts of activity while in their positions, therefore the Council did not serve as a “retirement” for past leaders who would otherwise be [[Rogue]]. A Council member would continue to possess a 24 to 48 hour email response time and assist in clan projects while advising the Consul. In addition, a continued visible presence as a role model and active member of the clan was a necessity. If the Consul believed a Council member was not fulfilling obligations, the Consul removed the member from the Council. In addition, if the member went rogue, his status on the Council was revoked.

}}The '''Aliso system''' is a binary system consisting of an F-type main-sequence star and a smaller, near-solar T class brown dwarf companion. The system primary is orbited by five planets, three gas giants and two terrestrial. [[Aliso]] is the only habitable terrestrial planet or moon in the solar system. Tonus, a class I gas giant, is also the home of Plagueis' tactical base of operations and shipyard facility [[the Anchorage]]. Hidden within its upper atmosphere, the Anchorage is protected from outside detection by pockets of electromagnetic interference.

==Stellar Objects ==
=== Aliso I ===
[[file:AlisoI.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Aliso I]] Aliso I is a F-class main sequence star with a diameter of about 1.89 million kilometers. It is located on the edge of the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] and its solar system serves as the home for [[Clan Plagueis]].
{{clear}}
=== Aliso II ===
[[file:AlisoII.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Aliso II]] Aliso II is a near-solar T class brown dwarf that has a moderately eccentric and inclined orbit around Aliso I. A pale magenta color, Aliso I orbits nearly 0.9 light years away from Aliso I making it the furthest most object in the solar system, and also marks the boundaries edge.

*Item: [[item:79971|ID 79971]]

Pecarro is the innermost planet of the solar system which orbits Aliso I. As an epistellar jovian, Pecarro orbits Aliso I in a tight, tidally locked orbit of only 82 days. The planet has extreme and exotic atmospheres due to its short periods and tidal locking. The atmosphere demonstrates strong vertical stratification with intense winds and super-rotating equatorial jets driven by radiative forcing and the transfer of heat and momentum. The day-night temperature difference at the photosphere is substantial, generally varying by approximately 1,000 degrees Celsius. Additionally, Pecarro is much less dense than similar sized gas giants that exist further from their star. This could be as a result of a number of factors, ranging from high stellar irradiation, high atmospheric opacity, possible internal energy sources, and an orbit close enough to Aliso I for the outer layers of Pecarro to exceed the Roche limit and be pulled further outward.
{{clear}}
=== Asteroid Belt ===
[[file:Aliso_asteroid_belt.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Belt asteroids.]] The Aliso system asteroid belt orbits Aliso I at a distance of about 165 to 219 million kilometers. A large amount of debris, the asteroid belt is believed to be an early remnant of the protoplanetary disk formation as later planets were beginning to coalesce. As one or more planets were forming in this range, the gravitational stress from the tightly packed early solar system, and the pull from the Aliso star, and the massive gas giants Pecarro, and Cogrion, ripped the early protoplanets apart creating the asteroid belt. This also allowed for Aliso to settle into a more stable orbit between the two gas giants comfortably, and also in a more habitable zone for life.

*Composition: Terrestrial

Aliso is a habitable terrestrial world that is home to Clan Plagueis. Recovering from a volcanic winter, mixed with its habitable zone orbit of 417 million kilometers, has created a planetary climate of a constant autumn. It is also the location of [[the Pinnacle]], the base of operations for Clan Plagueis.

*Item: [[item:79973|ID 79973]]

Trecurus is a completely uninhabitable world that is third in orbit around Aliso I at a distance of 592 million kilometers. Believed to originally have been a moon of Cogrion that was ejected from orbit and captured by Aliso I, Trecurus is a geologically dead world with a very light atmosphere.

*Item: [[item:79974|ID 79974]]

Cogrion, a class II gas giant, is the fourth planet from Aliso I. While well outside the habitable zone at an orbit of 942 million kilometers, the bulk of the gas giant's water exists as vapor in the dense, thick atmosphere. This is due to heavy gravitational pressure from the core and convection produced within the atmosphere constantly pushing heat from the core throughout the layers. Cogrion also serves as a comet-catcher for the inner system, more specifically Aliso, by gravitationally flinging incoming comets out of the system.

Founded in 39 ABY by [[Qormus Aquila]] and [[Selika Roh]], House Ventress is a distinguished arm of [[Clan]] [[Plagueis]]. In contrast to its counterpart, House [[Tyranus]], Ventress operates with subtlety and strategic finesse. Positioned strategically on the moon Cilix, Azorian Citadel serves as its hidden fortress, drawing power from the gas giant [[Aliso_system#Cogrion|Cogrion]]

Guided by the vision of Selika Roh, the Dread Lord of Clan Plagueis, Ventress excels in political manipulation and covert influence. Beyond its defense role, the house is a masterful player in the intricate game of Sith politics, carving a niche as a powerhouse in the shadows.
== History ==
=== Founding ===

In the galactic year 39 ABY, the visionary minds of [[Qormus Aquila]] and [[Selika Roh]] converged to give rise to a formidable entity within the illustrious Clan Plagueis — House Ventress. As founders and architects of this clandestine house, Qormus and Selika, known as the Dread Lord, embarked on a mission to carve a niche distinct from their sibling house, [[Tyranus]], within the enigmatic folds of the Sith traditions.

While House Tyranus thrived on overt military might and a confrontational demeanor, House Ventress emerged as the epitome of subtlety and strategic finesse. Qormus, donned as the Left Hand of Dread, and Selika, the formidable Dread Lord of [[Clan Plagueis]], envisioned Ventress as a shadowy force, weaving through the complex web of galactic politics and power dynamics. Their approach was calculated, their moves deliberate, making House Ventress a subtle but potent influence in the tapestry of the Sith legacy.

The foundation of House Ventress coincided with the strategic establishment of the Ventress headquarters on the distant moon of Cilix, orbiting the gas giant Cogrion. Amidst the frozen expanse of Cilix, the Ventress stronghold, Azorian Citadel, stood as a testament to the house's commitment to secrecy and security. Ice Station Zerek, connected to the sea floor stronghold, served as the surface gateway, providing an additional layer of defense against potential threats.

Fuelled by the boundless power harnessed from Cogrion's geothermal activity, House Ventress not only secured its position within Clan Plagueis but also demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the pursuit of power, influence, and the subtle manipulation of the galaxy's destiny. With House Ventress at the forefront, the Sith legacy evolved, embracing both the overt strength of Tyranus and the covert mastery of Ventress, creating a dynamic balance within the dark corridors of the Force.

== Organization ==

House Ventress operates within the hierarchical framework characteristic of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, with a well-defined structure aimed at maximizing efficiency and strategic prowess. The organization is led by a singular figure, the Quaestor, known within House Ventress as the Veiled Orchestrator. Assisting the Quaestor in their leadership role is the Aedile, who serves as the Silent Strategist and second-in-command, contributing to the overall coordination of the House's endeavors.

House Ventress draws its name and inspiration from the formidable [[starwars:Asajj Ventress|Asajj Ventress]], who serves as its guiding force. While Asajj embodies the dark side's influence within the house, it's her visions and directives that shape the overarching goals and aspirations of House Ventress. As a cunning manipulator with a profound understanding of the Sith arts, Asajj Ventress stands as a source of inspiration and guidance for all members of the house.

Within the organizational structure of House Ventress, the emphasis lies on subtlety and strategic finesse. Members are encouraged to navigate the intricate web of galactic politics and power dynamics, embodying the clandestine nature of the Sith legacy. The house's primary seat of power, Azorian Citadel on the moon Cilix, serves as the central hub for planning, coordination, and the execution of calculated maneuvers.

As members of House Ventress strive to embody the legacy of their founders, Qormus Aquila and Selika Roh, they contribute to the house's collective strength, ensuring that the balance between overt power and covert mastery is maintained within the dark corridors of the Force. The organization's structure, guided by the principles of House Ventress, reflects a commitment to achieving dominance through calculated subtlety in the pursuit of the Sith's ultimate objectives.

== Headquarters ==

The Ventress headquarters is on Cilix, a moon of Cogrion. Cilix is entirely covered in ice, with the icy crust covering a water ocean that spans the entire surface. No other bodies in near-Cogrion space have any assets to defend. The main Ventress base is Azorian Citadel which sits on the sea floor of Cilix and is connected by an umbilical and lift system to Ice Station Zerek on the surface. This serves as one of the major defense mechanisms of Azorian Citadel, in that it can have all the forces on the surface withdraw into the sea floor location and then retract the connection to the surface. Any enemy would have to be prepared with submersibles to even reach the base. The sea floor location is also where the primary shield generator is located to project the area shield at the surface. Power for the shield and the rest of the base is taken from geothermal activity generated by tidal forces from Cogrion, so power is virtually unlimited.
