Sith Warlord Rasilvenaira StormRaven is a member of Clan Scholae Palatinae. She has served in a number of positions within her Clan, including Clan Envoy, Battleteam Leader, Aedile, and Quaestor. She is currently the Quaestor of House Caliburnus.

== Character History ==

=== Birth of an Outcast ===
10 BBY

Along the northern plains of Ord Mantell, far distant from any cities, a group of Humans had settled around 425 BBY. This group of Humans isolated themselves as much as possible and over time began to display a genetic uniformity among the people. The Keraci people became a race unto themselves, of medium build with blonde or pale colored hair and typically blue or green eyes. They were also a people without the force, living their lives based on superstitions and abiding by the laws laid down by the village’s High Priest.

In 10 BBY the High Priest was called on to attend the Shalphera, or highest ranking female, of the village for the birth of her latest child. Many of the village elders and minor priests were concerned; the omens were boding ill for the birth, since the village was being subjected to an unusually fierce period of storms that threatened the crops.

When the child was born, those fears and superstitions were compounded. Inspecting the child, a girl, the High Priest was faced with the shock of seeing dark brown hair and piercing dark eyes as the child looked up at him. Given her mother’s ranking as Shalphera, the laws of the village forbade killing the infant, but because of the inexplicable differences in her appearance, she was branded as an outcast.

Her mother gave her the name of Kaishera, meaning Shadowed Star, however the rest of the family and village began calling the girl Rasilvenaira, meaning Silver Raven. The name was meant in cruel jest because with her dark hair and even darker eyes, there was nothing silver about her, though she did seem to have a strong affinity for the bird she was named after.

As the young girl grew, her place as outcast was constantly made painfully clear to her. Frequently subjected to beatings, and verbal abuse, Rasilvenaira lived her life on the edge. The Keraci were her people, but their world seemed to have no place for her, even though it was the world to which she was born. Considered worthless, even below slaves in value, she often went with out meals, and was worked hard, given the chores none of her siblings wished to do. By the age of five, Rasilvenaira was beginning to display latent abilities which earned her even more scorn and displeasure from the Keraci people who viewed those abilities as unnatural and evil.

Rasilvenaira vowed to herself that somehow, she would survive, and despite the efforts of her kin to the contrary, she managed to do just that. But the seeds of hatred and anger were sowed deeply in her soul, and in time, those seeds would take hold and blossom.

=== Rise of the StormRaven ===
6 ABY

One evening after a particularly brutal beating came close to killing her; Rasilvenaira realized that it was only a matter of time before her kin succeeded in ending her life. As soon as she was able to recover enough from the beating, Rasilvenaira gathered up the few possessions she was allowed, as well as a few she managed to steal. Biding her time until the dark of night, Rasilvenaira slipped out of the Keraci village, taking one of the villages riding animals, or Rok’shall, for its extra speed.

Rasilvenaira drifted alone except for the Rok’shall she rode for nearly two weeks. She had no idea where she would go, but there was no going back, she would find her own way or die trying. Eventually her path crossed that of a Trader’s caravan, and she spent a couple of days with them. During her stay with them, her Rok’shall helped earn her a nice purse full of credits, and she was able to buy a few supplies from the traders, including a simple set of throwing knives. They also helped her gain a sense of direction, showing her maps of where they were and where the nearest city, Trader’s Quarter, was.

After parting ways with the caravan, Rasilvenaira made her way toward Trader’s Quarter. When she finally arrived, the city was quite a shock to her after the isolated, rural world of the Keraci. Immediately she found herself at a great disadvantage, knowing only very little Basic. Rasilvenaira managed to find a merchant on the outskirts of the city who purchased her Rok’shall though she was sure he’d cheated her in the deal. She had no plans of ever going back to the Keraci village, so the credits she earned from the beast would serve her better than it would.

Her first day in the city soon turned rather miserable as it started raining. Lost, alone, and getting scared as she was jostled and bumped and pushed aside by the people passing her by, Rasilvenaira had no idea where to go to for shelter against the weather. Finally she just huddled against the wall of a building and sank to the ground, worn out from her journey.

Rasilvenaira was beginning to resign herself to spending a restless night in the rain when she saw a strange looking Humanoid approaching her. She was too tired to fight and something about his easy going manner kept her from running. Despite her inability to understand the Basic language, she managed to catch the meanings of his words as he offered her the one thing she wanted most at that moment, a dry, safe place to rest, and the possibility of food as well. She agreed to follow him, and along the way he introduced himself as [[Phutari]].

Phutari was middle aged Dressellian who owned a well established cantina in the area, and he took Rasilvenaira in, giving her a room above his cantina, he also offered her a job in helping out around the cantina. The first few weeks were mostly spent by him teaching her various things. He taught her Basic, adding on to the little she knew, until she finally had a solid grasp on the language. Phutari also taught her about the various races and species as they came through his cantina, as well as teaching her about the city itself.

While she was never really able to understand why she trusted him so easily, there was just something in Phutari’s warm amber eyes that made her feel safe. As the months passed, they developed a close relationship, Phutari looking after her almost as if she were his own daughter. It was also Phutari who first gave her the name of StormRaven. He always called her ‘little Raven’ since he found that easier than her full name, but he coined the name StormRaven for her because of her stormy and unpredictable temper, combined with her incredible ability of stealth. As he told her, "You move like a shadow, yet strike like a storm. Storm Raven, that's what you are." From that day on she took the name StormRaven as her own.

=== Flight of the Raven ===
7-10 ABY

Phutari used his many connections to help Rasilvenaira as much as he could in various ways. One of those occasions was him arranging for her to learn to pilot ships. She was a fast learner and soon progressed to being able to manage even a mid sized freighter on her own. Her favorite teacher was another Dressellian by the name of Tsudaly who taught her how to pilot his YT-2400 called the NyghtFyre. Rasilvenaira was also particularly fond of the two droids he kept on the ship; a protocol droid called [[Verlassen]], and a spunky astromech droid, [[R5-K7]] simply known as R5.

Rasilvenaira also began to find her own place in the scheme of things in the city. When she wasn’t spending her time working in Phutari’s cantina, Rasilvenaira gained a reputation as a talented thief. Eventually she also became an assassin, with her ability to seemingly disappear into the shadows it was an occupation she was well suited to. Phutari knew of her activities, but he never openly disapproved of them, as long as she didn’t practice her trade within the cantina.

When Rasilvenaira was twenty, Phutari gave her a special gift. She had been planning on leaving Ord Mantell when she had the credits saved up enough to get her own ship. Rasilvenaira was presented with one of the ships she had first learned to pilot, one which was very special to her. Tsudaly found himself in debt from gambling and in return for Phutari’s help in getting out of that debt; he gave Phutari the NyghtFyre as well as the two droids that served as its crew. Phutari had no real need for the ship, so offered it to Rasilvenaira as a gift. Soon after getting the NyghtFyre, Rasilvenaira left Ord Mantell and set out to explore the galaxy and to make a name for herself.

=== The End of an Era ===
11 ABY

[[File:Stormravencrest.jpg|thumb|180px|right|StormRaven's Crest]]
Rasilvenaira started out working various merchant networks building a solid base of contacts with initial help from Phutari who put her in touch with some of his contacts. She also quickly became familiar with the added profit to be had in smuggling as well as occasional jobs as an assassin that presented themselves. The NyghtFyre served well for smuggling with the extra cargo space that Tsudaly had built into the vessel, and the additional sensor jamming systems that she had installed into the ship made it that much harder to catch.

However, despite her rapid successes and growing reputation, a deep rooted restlessness plagued her. Nightmares that had been infrequent while she was around Phutari’s calming presence became almost constant in the solitude of her ship in deep space. StormRaven stayed on the edge, pushing herself to the limits of her endurance in not sleeping; she sank herself into her work knowing that if she didn’t sleep, she wouldn’t dream and the nightmares would be kept at bay. Over time it gradually began to wear on her, the nightmares drifted into her thoughts even when she was awake, memories she tried to forget kept haunting her. Unable to escape them, she was pushed close to the edge of madness, driven by those nightmares until she wanted nothing else but to end them once and for all.

One year after leaving Ord Mantell, Rasilvenaira finally gave into the growing thirst for vengeance, the need to destroy that which kept haunting her thoughts. She returned to Ord Mantell, setting a course for the Keraci village, navigating mostly by remembered landmarks from her flight away from the village five years previous.

Landing the ship near the village caused quite a stir from the superstitious and isolated Keraci. Rasilvenaira left the ship, walking the last distance to the edge of the village, wanting to make sure that they knew who it was that would bring about their demise. She wanted them to know what their actions had earned them.

Many did recognize her, and many began to flee the village, but one man who did not recognize her asked, “Who are you?”

To which, Rasilvenaira replied, "Who am I? I am that which even nightmares fear, I am death, I am vengeance, I am sorrow. I am the StormRaven."

Following her orders, Verlassen, aboard the NyghtFyre, opened fire on the village with the full extent of the ship's weaponry, quickly leveling it to smoldering rubble. Those Keraci who hadn’t run when they had the chance were killed in the destruction. The way of life, all that the Keraci had been for over four hundred years came to an end in that firestorm.

Rasilvenaira stood silently watching the remains of the village burn for several minutes, then turned away and returned to her ship. Resigning her past to the ashes of destruction, she vowed never to look back, and focused her attention on the future.

=== The Hunter and the Hunted ===
{{Quote|I'll just kill things, it's what I do best.|Rasilvenaira}}

12-16 ABY

Rasilvenaira became involved in a group of smugglers and pirates who operated in the Seswenna Sector, using legitimate business offices on Eriadu to front their activities. Eriadu’s location on the Hydian Way made it easy for the group to prey on the merchant traffic in route to and from the core worlds. The group was a loose association of pirates and smugglers that formed a tentative cooperation led by two brothers, Korish and Balishan.

It was during her association with the group that Rasilvenaira’s reputation truly exploded. Her skill and tenacity in hunting merchant ships and managing to evade the authorities despite the increasing bounties on her head earned her a measure of notoriety. She established herself as a force to be reckoned with, and did little to dispute the common opinion of her being cold and ruthless.

Not only did she become more deeply involved in pirating and smuggling operations, she also continued her occupation as a successful assassin. Rasilvenaira made the acquaintance of a Bothan pirate and gambler by the name of Vurryn Rkalin as the two crossed paths frequently on smuggling runs. When Vurryn finally ran into a gambling debt he couldn’t pay, Rasilvenaira helped him out, and in return he gave her his R41-StarChaser which she named the ''Kanashimu''. Rasilvenaira had several major modifications made on the fighter, as well as some cosmetic alterations including the addition of her personal crest as wing markings.

In 15 ABY Rasilvenaira had a particularly close call with a Trandoshan bounty hunter that she ran into on Tatooine. She managed to evade the bounty hunter and left Tatooine, but the stubborn reptilian wasn’t willing to give up his prey so easily. The Trandoshan caught up to the NyghtFyre in space and Rasilvenaira was forced to either try to out fight the more agile starfighter or escape into hyperspace. Rasilvenaira opted to jump to hyperspace, but half way to her intended destination, the ship dropped out of hyperspace as the hyperdrive failed.

After spending several minutes determining where the ship had ended up, Rasilvenaira then consulted the nav-computer and her astromech droid, R5 to find the nearest system that would be able to handle the necessary repairs for her ship. Fortunately the Saki system was close enough for the NyghtFyre to make the journey without needing a hyperdrive. She wasn’t sure how the Sakiyans would react to her showing up with a ship in need of repair, but had no other choice.

The Sakiyans weren’t happy about Rasilvenaira showing up, but were willing to negotiate a deal for their services in repairing her ship. The NyghtFyre had sustained more damage than Rasilvenaira had first believed in the fight with the Trandoshan, and the repairs would amount to nearly a full refit of the hyperdrive system and a few other minor things. During the time her ship was being worked on, Rasilvenaira was granted the privilege of staying on the planet and quickly found herself intrigued by the Sakiyan culture. They were renowned as bounty hunters and assassins with incredible natural senses. She integrated herself into their society, learning from them, and training with them and ended up spending a year on Sakiya. During that year, Rasilvenaira’s own senses developed to a level far beyond the normal range for a Human, which made her even more dangerous as an assassin.

After spending the year with the Sakiyans, Rasilvenaira finally took her leave of their planet and returned to her occupation as assassin and smuggler with a renewed energy.

=== Embracing the Darkness ===
19 ABY

Rasilvenaira’s latent force abilities continued to grow and develop even though at the time she didn’t really understand the importance of them. This changed during a trip to Tatooine. Rasilvenaira was killing time in one of the local cantinas while a client’s cargo was to be unloaded from the NyghtFyre and transferred to his ship. Out of boredom and curiosity to see if she could still practice the art of pick pocketing, she scanned the busy cantina looking for a potential target.

Finally she spotted an older man who seemed to be dozing at a table in the far corner of the room. Casually she moved around the crowded room and made to walk past him, his purse full of credits in plain view, seemingly a very easy target. As Rasilvenaira made her move, she gasped in shock as his vice like grip caught her wrist. At his bidding she sat down across from him to avoid drawing any further unwanted attention.

Rasilvenaira questioned how he was able to catch her, and he explained that while she had talents, her untrained abilities were no match against someone trained in the force. She questioned him further and he explained what the force was in very basic terms and told her of a place where others like her were trained and taught how to use their abilities. After he left her sitting at the table, she thought over his words and decided to seek out the “Brotherhood” he had mentioned.

Rasilvenaira returned to her ship, and set a course for Corellia, having some unfinished business to attend to first. After that was concluded, she intended to find the Antei system the old warrior had told her about. The trip to Corellia went smoothly, she finished what she’d needed to and was looking forward to finding out more about the Antei system. What Rasilvenaira didn’t realize at the time was that she had been set up to run straight into a trap. The dark Jedi who’d told her of Antei had actually been working for the same Neimoidian that she had just done a job for, and a message had been sent to the Dark Brotherhood, telling them of an assassin on the way to kill their Grand Master.

When Rasilvenaira’s ship neared the Brotherhood’s system, she was attacked by two capital ships. Trapped between a Strike Cruiser and a Victory-class Star Destroyer, she was unable to escape and her ship was captured by the Star Destroyer, the VSD Excidium. Taken into custody aboard the Excidium, Rasilvenaira was subjected to several long and rather painful interrogations about her reasons for being near Antei.

It was during those interrogations that her latent and untrained force abilities flared and her captors decided that she would be held and taken to Antei. Once they reached Antei, Rasilvenaira was presented to the Grand Master, Jac Cotelin, who would ultimately decide her fate. After he questioned her, it was determined that Rasilvenaira indeed was innocent of the charge of intending to attempt assassination of the Grand Master.

Rasilvenaira was then given the option to stay and learn to use her abilities as part of the Brotherhood, which she readily accepted.

=== Finding a New Home ===
19-25 ABY

After her initial training was completed, Rasilvenaira was sent to the Cocytus system, home to [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]], and settled on the planet [[Antenora]] which was home to [[Acclivis Draco]]. Rasilvenaira continued her studies of the force and the dark side, her insatiable quest for knowledge allowing her to move through the ranks quickly. She gradually earned the trust and respect of the Clan leadership. Rasilvenaira as appointed to the position of Clan Envoy, and it was a position to which she applied herself well.

For the first time in her life, Rasilvenaira found herself as a part of something greater, and while she had her own ambitions, she felt a pride and loyalty growing in her heart that she’d never known before. Her drive and ambition pushed her forward, but now she considered others before herself, a feeling that was new to her, but one she accepted readily. The sense of belonging, the knowledge of now being responsible for others made her efforts worthwhile.

Rasilvenaira was however, outspoken and bold, when she believed she was right on a course of action, there was little that could sway her from it. This caused some measure of tension between the StormRaven and some older, established members of the Clan. Many expected her fire to burn itself out, as others before her had, but instead, she kept going.

As time passed, her loyalty and love for her House and Clan only continued to strengthen and grow. Rasilvenaira gained the position of Sith Commander of the squadron [[Draco Conspicari]] and led the team through the Aranna and Selen Incidents. She also led Draco Conspicari through part of the Sixth Great Jedi War.

It was during the War that the leadership of Acclivis Draco changed, under the direction of the Clan Summit. [[Braecen Kunar]] became the Quaestor, and Rasilvenaira was appointed as the Aedile of Acclivis Draco. As she always did, Rasilvenaira poured her energy and efforts into her position, fueled by an intense desire to see her House thrive. Many criticized the decision to grant her the position; others questioned her motives and ambitions. Rasilvenaira refused to dwell on the futile attempts of others to discourage her; instead, she focused her efforts on proving her abilities.

=== A Bitter Conflict ===
25-26 ABY

In late 25 ABY, an open conflict erupted between Acclivis Draco and its sister house, Caliburnus. While Rasilvenaira was no stranger to warfare, the idea of fighting members of her own Clan bothered her. Scholae Palatinae had become family to her, and she was torn between loyalties to the Clan as a whole as the Clan’s Envoy, and the loyalties to the House she was sworn to protect as Aedile.

Tensions began building between Rasilvenaira and the Quaestor, [[RevengeX Palpatine]], as the Sith grew increasingly frustrated in the ways in which RevengeX was handling the conflict. Finally frustrated beyond the point of caring about chain of command, Rasilvenaira took matters into her own hands.

Acting against the Quaestor’s orders, she, along with the members of Draco Conspicari, led now by Adam Anderson, conducted maneuvers in an effort to bring the conflict between the Houses to an end. RevengeX was furious about the blatant disobedience and labeled his Aedile as a traitor. Attempts were made to arrest Rasilvenaira, but she managed to evade them.

When Caliburnus attacked Antenora, RevengeX was forced to turn his attentions to defending his House, but promised himself that Rasilvenaira would be punished for her actions. Rasilvenaira and the members of Draco Conspicari continued to act independently, and flanked the attacking forces of Caliburnus. It wasn’t until after the final battle was over and finished that RevengeX realized that Rasilvenaira had in fact been acting in the House’s best interest.

While he was still unhappy about her public defiance and disobedience, the Quaestor rescinded his accusations of treason. However, the entire event left the working relationship between Rasilvenaira and RevengeX strained and still tense.

=== The Winds of Change ===
26 ABY

With the conclusion of the conflict between Houses Acclivis Draco and Caliburnus, the Clan Summit initiated some changes to the leadership of Caliburnus. [[Thran Occasus]] became the new Quaestor of [[Caliburnus]] following the resignation of Impetus. Thran made the request for Rasilvenaira to become his Aedile.

Presented with the choice, Rasilvenaira accepted the new position. While she regretted leaving Acclivis Draco which had been her home for so long, Rasilvenaira was looking forward to once again working with Thran. The two had developed a close friendship during his stay in Acclivis Draco and she was confident that working with him again would be a pleasant change.

Upon moving to [[Ptolomea]] and becoming the Aedile of Caliburnus, Rasilvenaira quickly settled in, and began focusing her attention and efforts on helping her new House thrive. Under the combined leadership of Thran Occasus and Rasilvenaira, Caliburnus rapidly blossomed into a strong and well organized House.

=== Endings ===
{{Quote|The only two certainties I've seen in this galaxy are death and change. No matter how well you plan things, sometimes it doesn't work out.|Rasilvenaira}}

Rasilvenaira made the final decision to leave Clan Scholae Palatinae on what would be the eve of the Ninth Great Jedi War. Leaving behind all that she had ever truly cared for, for reasons known only to her, the Sith resigned from the Clan and was marked as a rogue. All contact with Stormraven was lost.

However, several months after her disappearance, reports indicate that the remains of her ship, Raven's Fury were found. The location was never made public, and there are no records indicating any trace of the Sith. She had officially been declared dead, presumably killed when her ship was destroyed.

Recently, Rasilvenaira returned to Clan space, revealing that she was in fact still very much alive, despite evidence to the contrary.

=== Birth of an Outcast ===
10 BBY

Along the northern plains of Ord Mantell, far distant from any cities, a group of Humans had settled around 425 BBY. This group of Humans isolated themselves as much as possible and over time began to display a genetic uniformity among the people. The Keraci people became a race unto themselves, of medium build with blonde or pale colored hair and typically blue or green eyes. They were also a people without the force, living their lives based on superstitions and abiding by the laws laid down by the village’s High Priest.

In 10 BBY the High Priest was called on to attend the Shalphera, or highest ranking female, of the village for the birth of her latest child. Many of the village elders and minor priests were concerned; the omens were boding ill for the birth, since the village was being subjected to an unusually fierce period of storms that threatened the crops.

When the child was born, those fears and superstitions were compounded. Inspecting the child, a girl, the High Priest was faced with the shock of seeing dark brown hair and piercing dark eyes as the child looked up at him. Given her mother’s ranking as Shalphera, the laws of the village forbade killing the infant, but because of the inexplicable differences in her appearance, she was branded as an outcast.

Her mother gave her the name of Kaishera, meaning Shadowed Star, however the rest of the family and village began calling the girl Rasilvenaira, meaning Silver Raven. The name was meant in cruel jest because with her dark hair and even darker eyes, there was nothing silver about her, though she did seem to have a strong affinity for the bird she was named after.

As the young girl grew, her place as outcast was constantly made painfully clear to her. Frequently subjected to beatings, and verbal abuse, Rasilvenaira lived her life on the edge. The Keraci were her people, but their world seemed to have no place for her, even though it was the world to which she was born. Considered worthless, even below slaves in value, she often went with out meals, and was worked hard, given the chores none of her siblings wished to do. By the age of five, Rasilvenaira was beginning to display latent abilities which earned her even more scorn and displeasure from the Keraci people who viewed those abilities as unnatural and evil.

Rasilvenaira vowed to herself that somehow, she would survive, and despite the efforts of her kin to the contrary, she managed to do just that. But the seeds of hatred and anger were sowed deeply in her soul, and in time, those seeds would take hold and blossom.

=== Rise of the StormRaven ===
6 ABY

One evening after a particularly brutal beating came close to killing her; Rasilvenaira realized that it was only a matter of time before her kin succeeded in ending her life. As soon as she was able to recover enough from the beating, Rasilvenaira gathered up the few possessions she was allowed, as well as a few she managed to steal. Biding her time until the dark of night, Rasilvenaira slipped out of the Keraci village, taking one of the villages riding animals, or Rok’shall, for its extra speed.

Rasilvenaira drifted alone except for the Rok’shall she rode for nearly two weeks. She had no idea where she would go, but there was no going back, she would find her own way or die trying. Eventually her path crossed that of a Trader’s caravan, and she spent a couple of days with them. During her stay with them, her Rok’shall helped earn her a nice purse full of credits, and she was able to buy a few supplies from the traders, including a simple set of throwing knives. They also helped her gain a sense of direction, showing her maps of where they were and where the nearest city, Trader’s Quarter, was.

After parting ways with the caravan, Rasilvenaira made her way toward Trader’s Quarter. When she finally arrived, the city was quite a shock to her after the isolated, rural world of the Keraci. Immediately she found herself at a great disadvantage, knowing only very little Basic. Rasilvenaira managed to find a merchant on the outskirts of the city who purchased her Rok’shall though she was sure he’d cheated her in the deal. She had no plans of ever going back to the Keraci village, so the credits she earned from the beast would serve her better than it would.

Her first day in the city soon turned rather miserable as it started raining. Lost, alone, and getting scared as she was jostled and bumped and pushed aside by the people passing her by, Rasilvenaira had no idea where to go to for shelter against the weather. Finally she just huddled against the wall of a building and sank to the ground, worn out from her journey.

Rasilvenaira was beginning to resign herself to spending a restless night in the rain when she saw a strange looking Humanoid approaching her. She was too tired to fight and something about his easy going manner kept her from running. Despite her inability to understand the Basic language, she managed to catch the meanings of his words as he offered her the one thing she wanted most at that moment, a dry, safe place to rest, and the possibility of food as well. She agreed to follow him, and along the way he introduced himself as [[Phutari]].

Phutari was middle aged Dressellian who owned a well established cantina in the area, and he took Rasilvenaira in, giving her a room above his cantina, he also offered her a job in helping out around the cantina. The first few weeks were mostly spent by him teaching her various things. He taught her Basic, adding on to the little she knew, until she finally had a solid grasp on the language. Phutari also taught her about the various races and species as they came through his cantina, as well as teaching her about the city itself.

While she was never really able to understand why she trusted him so easily, there was just something in Phutari’s warm amber eyes that made her feel safe. As the months passed, they developed a close relationship, Phutari looking after her almost as if she were his own daughter. It was also Phutari who first gave her the name of StormRaven. He always called her ‘little Raven’ since he found that easier than her full name, but he coined the name StormRaven for her because of her stormy and unpredictable temper, combined with her incredible ability of stealth. As he told her, "You move like a shadow, yet strike like a storm. Storm Raven, that's what you are." From that day on she took the name StormRaven as her own.

=== Flight of the Raven ===
7-10 ABY

Phutari used his many connections to help Rasilvenaira as much as he could in various ways. One of those occasions was him arranging for her to learn to pilot ships. She was a fast learner and soon progressed to being able to manage even a mid sized freighter on her own. Her favorite teacher was another Dressellian by the name of Tsudaly who taught her how to pilot his YT-2400 called the NyghtFyre. Rasilvenaira was also particularly fond of the two droids he kept on the ship; a protocol droid called [[Verlassen]], and a spunky astromech droid, [[R5-K7]] simply known as R5.

Rasilvenaira also began to find her own place in the scheme of things in the city. When she wasn’t spending her time working in Phutari’s cantina, Rasilvenaira gained a reputation as a talented thief. Eventually she also became an assassin, with her ability to seemingly disappear into the shadows it was an occupation she was well suited to. Phutari knew of her activities, but he never openly disapproved of them, as long as she didn’t practice her trade within the cantina.

When Rasilvenaira was twenty, Phutari gave her a special gift. She had been planning on leaving Ord Mantell when she had the credits saved up enough to get her own ship. Rasilvenaira was presented with one of the ships she had first learned to pilot, one which was very special to her. Tsudaly found himself in debt from gambling and in return for Phutari’s help in getting out of that debt; he gave Phutari the NyghtFyre as well as the two droids that served as its crew. Phutari had no real need for the ship, so offered it to Rasilvenaira as a gift. Soon after getting the NyghtFyre, Rasilvenaira left Ord Mantell and set out to explore the galaxy and to make a name for herself.

=== The End of an Era ===
11 ABY

[[File:Stormravencrest.jpg|thumb|180px|right|StormRaven's Crest]]
Rasilvenaira started out working various merchant networks building a solid base of contacts with initial help from Phutari who put her in touch with some of his contacts. She also quickly became familiar with the added profit to be had in smuggling as well as occasional jobs as an assassin that presented themselves. The NyghtFyre served well for smuggling with the extra cargo space that Tsudaly had built into the vessel, and the additional sensor jamming systems that she had installed into the ship made it that much harder to catch.

However, despite her rapid successes and growing reputation, a deep rooted restlessness plagued her. Nightmares that had been infrequent while she was around Phutari’s calming presence became almost constant in the solitude of her ship in deep space. StormRaven stayed on the edge, pushing herself to the limits of her endurance in not sleeping; she sank herself into her work knowing that if she didn’t sleep, she wouldn’t dream and the nightmares would be kept at bay. Over time it gradually began to wear on her, the nightmares drifted into her thoughts even when she was awake, memories she tried to forget kept haunting her. Unable to escape them, she was pushed close to the edge of madness, driven by those nightmares until she wanted nothing else but to end them once and for all.

One year after leaving Ord Mantell, Rasilvenaira finally gave into the growing thirst for vengeance, the need to destroy that which kept haunting her thoughts. She returned to Ord Mantell, setting a course for the Keraci village, navigating mostly by remembered landmarks from her flight away from the village five years previous.

Landing the ship near the village caused quite a stir from the superstitious and isolated Keraci. Rasilvenaira left the ship, walking the last distance to the edge of the village, wanting to make sure that they knew who it was that would bring about their demise. She wanted them to know what their actions had earned them.

Many did recognize her, and many began to flee the village, but one man who did not recognize her asked, “Who are you?”

To which, Rasilvenaira replied, "Who am I? I am that which even nightmares fear, I am death, I am vengeance, I am sorrow. I am the StormRaven."

Following her orders, Verlassen, aboard the NyghtFyre, opened fire on the village with the full extent of the ship's weaponry, quickly leveling it to smoldering rubble. Those Keraci who hadn’t run when they had the chance were killed in the destruction. The way of life, all that the Keraci had been for over four hundred years came to an end in that firestorm.

Rasilvenaira stood silently watching the remains of the village burn for several minutes, then turned away and returned to her ship. Resigning her past to the ashes of destruction, she vowed never to look back, and focused her attention on the future.

=== The Hunter and the Hunted ===
{{Quote|I'll just kill things, it's what I do best.|Rasilvenaira}}

12-16 ABY

Rasilvenaira became involved in a group of smugglers and pirates who operated in the Seswenna Sector, using legitimate business offices on Eriadu to front their activities. Eriadu’s location on the Hydian Way made it easy for the group to prey on the merchant traffic in route to and from the core worlds. The group was a loose association of pirates and smugglers that formed a tentative cooperation led by two brothers, Korish and Balishan.

It was during her association with the group that Rasilvenaira’s reputation truly exploded. Her skill and tenacity in hunting merchant ships and managing to evade the authorities despite the increasing bounties on her head earned her a measure of notoriety. She established herself as a force to be reckoned with, and did little to dispute the common opinion of her being cold and ruthless.

Not only did she become more deeply involved in pirating and smuggling operations, she also continued her occupation as a successful assassin. Rasilvenaira made the acquaintance of a Bothan pirate and gambler by the name of Vurryn Rkalin as the two crossed paths frequently on smuggling runs. When Vurryn finally ran into a gambling debt he couldn’t pay, Rasilvenaira helped him out, and in return he gave her his R41-StarChaser which she named the ''Kanashimu''. Rasilvenaira had several major modifications made on the fighter, as well as some cosmetic alterations including the addition of her personal crest as wing markings.

In 15 ABY Rasilvenaira had a particularly close call with a Trandoshan bounty hunter that she ran into on Tatooine. She managed to evade the bounty hunter and left Tatooine, but the stubborn reptilian wasn’t willing to give up his prey so easily. The Trandoshan caught up to the NyghtFyre in space and Rasilvenaira was forced to either try to out fight the more agile starfighter or escape into hyperspace. Rasilvenaira opted to jump to hyperspace, but half way to her intended destination, the ship dropped out of hyperspace as the hyperdrive failed.

After spending several minutes determining where the ship had ended up, Rasilvenaira then consulted the nav-computer and her astromech droid, R5 to find the nearest system that would be able to handle the necessary repairs for her ship. Fortunately the Saki system was close enough for the NyghtFyre to make the journey without needing a hyperdrive. She wasn’t sure how the Sakiyans would react to her showing up with a ship in need of repair, but had no other choice.

The Sakiyans weren’t happy about Rasilvenaira showing up, but were willing to negotiate a deal for their services in repairing her ship. The NyghtFyre had sustained more damage than Rasilvenaira had first believed in the fight with the Trandoshan, and the repairs would amount to nearly a full refit of the hyperdrive system and a few other minor things. During the time her ship was being worked on, Rasilvenaira was granted the privilege of staying on the planet and quickly found herself intrigued by the Sakiyan culture. They were renowned as bounty hunters and assassins with incredible natural senses. She integrated herself into their society, learning from them, and training with them and ended up spending a year on Sakiya. During that year, Rasilvenaira’s own senses developed to a level far beyond the normal range for a Human, which made her even more dangerous as an assassin.

After spending the year with the Sakiyans, Rasilvenaira finally took her leave of their planet and returned to her occupation as assassin and smuggler with a renewed energy.

=== Embracing the Darkness ===
19 ABY

Rasilvenaira’s latent force abilities continued to grow and develop even though at the time she didn’t really understand the importance of them. This changed during a trip to Tatooine. Rasilvenaira was killing time in one of the local cantinas while a client’s cargo was to be unloaded from the NyghtFyre and transferred to his ship. Out of boredom and curiosity to see if she could still practice the art of pick pocketing, she scanned the busy cantina looking for a potential target.

Finally she spotted an older man who seemed to be dozing at a table in the far corner of the room. Casually she moved around the crowded room and made to walk past him, his purse full of credits in plain view, seemingly a very easy target. As Rasilvenaira made her move, she gasped in shock as his vice like grip caught her wrist. At his bidding she sat down across from him to avoid drawing any further unwanted attention.

Rasilvenaira questioned how he was able to catch her, and he explained that while she had talents, her untrained abilities were no match against someone trained in the force. She questioned him further and he explained what the force was in very basic terms and told her of a place where others like her were trained and taught how to use their abilities. After he left her sitting at the table, she thought over his words and decided to seek out the “Brotherhood” he had mentioned.

Rasilvenaira returned to her ship, and set a course for Corellia, having some unfinished business to attend to first. After that was concluded, she intended to find the Antei system the old warrior had told her about. The trip to Corellia went smoothly, she finished what she’d needed to and was looking forward to finding out more about the Antei system. What Rasilvenaira didn’t realize at the time was that she had been set up to run straight into a trap. The dark Jedi who’d told her of Antei had actually been working for the same Neimoidian that she had just done a job for, and a message had been sent to the Dark Brotherhood, telling them of an assassin on the way to kill their Grand Master.

When Rasilvenaira’s ship neared the Brotherhood’s system, she was attacked by two capital ships. Trapped between a Strike Cruiser and a Victory-class Star Destroyer, she was unable to escape and her ship was captured by the Star Destroyer, the VSD Excidium. Taken into custody aboard the Excidium, Rasilvenaira was subjected to several long and rather painful interrogations about her reasons for being near Antei.

It was during those interrogations that her latent and untrained force abilities flared and her captors decided that she would be held and taken to Antei. Once they reached Antei, Rasilvenaira was presented to the Grand Master, Jac Cotelin, who would ultimately decide her fate. After he questioned her, it was determined that Rasilvenaira indeed was innocent of the charge of intending to attempt assassination of the Grand Master.

Rasilvenaira was then given the option to stay and learn to use her abilities as part of the Brotherhood, which she readily accepted.

=== Finding a New Home ===
19-25 ABY

After her initial training was completed, Rasilvenaira was sent to the Cocytus system, home to [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]], and settled on the planet [[Antenora]] which was home to [[Acclivis Draco]]. Rasilvenaira continued her studies of the force and the dark side, her insatiable quest for knowledge allowing her to move through the ranks quickly. She gradually earned the trust and respect of the Clan leadership. Rasilvenaira as appointed to the position of Clan Envoy, and it was a position to which she applied herself well.

For the first time in her life, Rasilvenaira found herself as a part of something greater, and while she had her own ambitions, she felt a pride and loyalty growing in her heart that she’d never known before. Her drive and ambition pushed her forward, but now she considered others before herself, a feeling that was new to her, but one she accepted readily. The sense of belonging, the knowledge of now being responsible for others made her efforts worthwhile.

Rasilvenaira was however, outspoken and bold, when she believed she was right on a course of action, there was little that could sway her from it. This caused some measure of tension between the StormRaven and some older, established members of the Clan. Many expected her fire to burn itself out, as others before her had, but instead, she kept going.

As time passed, her loyalty and love for her House and Clan only continued to strengthen and grow. Rasilvenaira gained the position of Sith Commander of the squadron [[Draco Conspicari]] and led the team through the Aranna and Selen Incidents. She also led Draco Conspicari through part of the Sixth Great Jedi War.

It was during the War that the leadership of Acclivis Draco changed, under the direction of the Clan Summit. [[Braecen Kunar]] became the Quaestor, and Rasilvenaira was appointed as the Aedile of Acclivis Draco. As she always did, Rasilvenaira poured her energy and efforts into her position, fueled by an intense desire to see her House thrive. Many criticized the decision to grant her the position; others questioned her motives and ambitions. Rasilvenaira refused to dwell on the futile attempts of others to discourage her; instead, she focused her efforts on proving her abilities.

=== A Bitter Conflict ===
25-26 ABY

In late 25 ABY, an open conflict erupted between Acclivis Draco and its sister house, Caliburnus. While Rasilvenaira was no stranger to warfare, the idea of fighting members of her own Clan bothered her. Scholae Palatinae had become family to her, and she was torn between loyalties to the Clan as a whole as the Clan’s Envoy, and the loyalties to the House she was sworn to protect as Aedile.

Tensions began building between Rasilvenaira and the Quaestor, [[RevengeX Palpatine]], as the Sith grew increasingly frustrated in the ways in which RevengeX was handling the conflict. Finally frustrated beyond the point of caring about chain of command, Rasilvenaira took matters into her own hands.

Acting against the Quaestor’s orders, she, along with the members of Draco Conspicari, led now by Adam Anderson, conducted maneuvers in an effort to bring the conflict between the Houses to an end. RevengeX was furious about the blatant disobedience and labeled his Aedile as a traitor. Attempts were made to arrest Rasilvenaira, but she managed to evade them.

When Caliburnus attacked Antenora, RevengeX was forced to turn his attentions to defending his House, but promised himself that Rasilvenaira would be punished for her actions. Rasilvenaira and the members of Draco Conspicari continued to act independently, and flanked the attacking forces of Caliburnus. It wasn’t until after the final battle was over and finished that RevengeX realized that Rasilvenaira had in fact been acting in the House’s best interest.

While he was still unhappy about her public defiance and disobedience, the Quaestor rescinded his accusations of treason. However, the entire event left the working relationship between Rasilvenaira and RevengeX strained and still tense.

=== The Winds of Change ===
26 ABY

With the conclusion of the conflict between Houses Acclivis Draco and Caliburnus, the Clan Summit initiated some changes to the leadership of Caliburnus. [[Thran Occasus]] became the new Quaestor of [[Caliburnus]] following the resignation of Impetus. Thran made the request for Rasilvenaira to become his Aedile.

Presented with the choice, Rasilvenaira accepted the new position. While she regretted leaving Acclivis Draco which had been her home for so long, Rasilvenaira was looking forward to once again working with Thran. The two had developed a close friendship during his stay in Acclivis Draco and she was confident that working with him again would be a pleasant change.

Upon moving to [[Ptolomea]] and becoming the Aedile of Caliburnus, Rasilvenaira quickly settled in, and began focusing her attention and efforts on helping her new House thrive. Under the combined leadership of Thran Occasus and Rasilvenaira, Caliburnus rapidly blossomed into a strong and well organized House.

=== Endings ===
{{Quote|The only two certainties I've seen in this galaxy are death and change. No matter how well you plan things, sometimes it doesn't work out.|Rasilvenaira}}

Rasilvenaira made the final decision to leave Clan Scholae Palatinae on what would be the eve of the Ninth Great Jedi War. Leaving behind all that she had ever truly cared for, for reasons known only to her, the Sith resigned from the Clan and was marked as a rogue. All contact with Stormraven was lost.

However, several months after her disappearance, reports indicate that the remains of her ship, Raven's Fury were found. The location was never made public, and there are no records indicating any trace of the Sith. She had officially been declared dead, presumably killed when her ship was destroyed.

Recently, Rasilvenaira returned to Clan space, revealing that she was in fact still very much alive, despite evidence to the contrary.

=== '''Youth:''' ===
Jaxyn Rax was born aboard a space freighter in 3 BBY. His father, Kutrar Rax, was Kiffar. His mother, Cyntava Kintri, was human. When his father tried to take him back to his clan to receive the clan tattoo at the age of five, the clan rejected him because of his mixed blood. He was raised aboard a ship by his parents. They tried to teach him all they could, especially about the ship. By the age of ten, he was helping them to fly their freighter.

=== '''Loss and Heartache:''' ===
When Jaxyn was fourteen, the family’s freighter was attacked by pirates. His mother rushed him into a storage room, opened a secret panel, and pushed him into the hiding spot. “Stay here, no matter what happens, and take this.” She handed him a credit chit that held the account information with all their savings. “You’ll need it after, and we don’t want them to find it. Now promise me you’ll stay here and be very quiet.”

“I promise.” He was terrified, but obeyed. She closed the panel to hide him and ran to join her husband. When the pirates boarded, he could hear them ransacking the ship and shouting to each other. He tucked the credit chit into his pocket and prayed that they wouldn’t find him. Though he also felt like such a coward, he knew his mother was right; against a fully armed group of pirates, he wouldn’t stand a chance if he didn’t stay hidden until they were gone.

He heard blaster shots, his mother’s screams, and more blaster shots. He bit his lip and held back the tears that wanted to fall. He had to keep it together; he couldn’t make any sounds. He prayed harder that the pirates would leave the ship soon. He waited, listening carefully. He heard the pirate ship disconnect from theirs. He hoped the air lock was intact, but he didn’t hear any of the whooshing sound that would have indicated a damaged seal. He waited a while longer; it seemed like an eternity, but he heard no other sounds. Finally, he decided to risk it and exited his hiding place.

He found his parents and the rest of the crew, all dead. Tears stung his eyes, and he knelt down by his parents. He vowed that someday, he would avenge them. But for now, all he could do was wipe away the tears and then find blankets to cover them with. He went up to the cockpit, and thankfully, the astromech was still intact, just knocked over. He helped it upright and hugged it. “You alright, C1?”

The droid affirmed it was functional, so with the droid’s help, he made his way to the nearest place that might purchase the ship. He couldn’t keep it, knowing that was where his parents and friends died.

=== '''A New Beginning:''' ===

Once he was able to sell his parents’ freighter, that amount, combined with what savings his parents had left him, was enough to buy a new ship. But he also realized it wouldn’t be a good investment just yet. Not many crew members would be willing to take orders from a scrawny fourteen-year-old boy. He would have to bank his savings for now and find work on someone else’s vessel or somewhere. He would have to bide his time until he was grown, then he could buy his own ship and go hunting for the pirates that killed his family.

It took a couple of weeks of persistent hunting to find work on the docks. At least he could keep track of ships coming and going. He’d keep his ear to the ground for any chance of work on a ship. But for now, any work was more credits in the bank, though they paid him less because of his age, it still helped. He was able to stay fed, and he had a small apartment to live in.

=== '''The Red Dawn:''' ===

By the time Jaxyn was eighteen, he had filled out quite a bit from several years of hard labor working in the docks. Now, he felt confident he could get his own ship and a small, trustworthy crew, and then he would start his hunt for the pirates who took his parents from him. In the meantime, he would start working freight like they did to pay the bills and keep the crew busy.

He named his new ship the ''Red Dawn''. It was agile for a freighter of its size, and he had it upgraded with extra weaponry and a stronger hyperdrive, as well as stronger shields. One of his crew joked that he was turning her into a pirate ship, since most honest freighters didn’t pack so many upgrades. He laughed and just said he wanted to be able to fight pirates if they came for him.

Two years after getting the ''Red Dawn'', his wish finally came true, and he spotted a familiar ship. They were coming after him, and he grinned. “Time to spring the trap.” Rather than trying to run, which most weaker ships would do, he turned the Red Dawn about to face the oncoming pirates and opened fire with all the turbolasers and missiles he had gotten installed. The upgraded shields were holding, while they were clearly beginning to weaken the pirate ship, and eventually, they won the battle as the pirate ship’s engines exploded.

He strapped on his blasters and nodded to his crew to arm up. “We’re gonna go see what goodies they have, first thing, once we’re in, seal off any bulkheads to the engine room. Then start combing the ship for anything valuable. Be wary, these are pirates we’re dealing with. Don’t leave any of them alive.”

His crew laughed, and one said, “I knew you were gonna go pirate, no one outfits a ship like this for just honest freight work.”

They swept through the ship, eliminating the pirates until he came to the captain of the ship. He held up a hand, and his crew formed up behind him, but understood, this was his kill to make. He shot the pirate with cold satisfaction. His parents had been avenged. So began his reputation as a pirate, but his would be an unusual reputation. Because no one on any ship he attacked was ever killed.

=== '''Taken By Storm:''' ===

Near the end of 21 ABY, Jaxen was on Tatooine to pick up cargo for another smuggling run. However, his plans were about to change. A cloaked woman approached and very persuasively convinced him to ditch his cargo and take her on as a passenger.

The woman identified herself as Rasilvenaira Stormraven, an assassin. And explained that she was fleeing a Trandoshan bounty hunter after possibly killing one of his kin. When the bounty hunter caught up with them, the firepower of the ''Red Dawn'' was enough to finish him off. Rasilvenaira decided to travel with him for a while. This would lead to a year-long affair between the two.

Then one day, Rasilvenaira left without saying anything to him. He was heartbroken and never gave up hope of finding her again.

=== '''The Search:''' ===

Jaxyn eventually gave up piracy and returned to more legitimate work. His crew shrank to only two who stayed loyal to him. He didn’t mind that; some were looking for more adventure. He was getting older, and so was his ship. He didn’t want to end up in a fight he couldn’t win. Still, his search continued for twenty years. He came close to finding Rasilvenaira many times, missing her by hours, sometimes mere minutes. But he was persistent and felt certain his luck would turn someday.

His day finally came when he found Rasilvenaira on Nar Shaddaa. They reunited, and she apologized for leaving and for avoiding him for so long. They decided to start over fresh, and to that end, Jaxyn sold the ''Red Dawn'' and went with Rasilvenaira on her ship, the ''Caliburnus''. They traveled back to Rasilvenaira’s home on Seraph, and she explained her position within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, where she was Quaestor of her House Caliburnus, for which her ship was named.

=== '''Present Day:''' ===
He agreed that he would join the Brotherhood so he could officially help her out. Since he was not a Force-user, he chose the path of the Mercenary. He moved in with Rasilvenaira at her home to help around the Menagerie, and to share her burdens as a companion should. He’s been quickly working his way through the ranks of the Brotherhood.

He heard blaster shots, his mother’s screams, and more blaster shots. He bit his lip and held back the tears that wanted to fall. He had to keep it together; he couldn’t make any sounds. He prayed harder that the pirates would leave the ship soon. He waited, listening carefully. He heard the pirate ship disconnect from theirs. He hoped the air lock was intact, but he didn’t hear any of the whooshing sound that would have indicated a damaged seal. He waited a while longer; it seemed like an eternity, but he heard no other sounds. Finally, he decided to risk it and exited his hiding place.

He found his parents and the rest of the crew, all dead. Tears stung his eyes, and he knelt down by his parents. He vowed that someday, he would avenge them. But for now, all he could do was wipe away the tears and then find blankets to cover them with. He went up to the cockpit, and thankfully, the astromech was still intact, just knocked over. He helped it upright and hugged it. “You alright, C1?”

The droid affirmed it was functional, so with the droid’s help, he made his way to the nearest place that might purchase the ship. He couldn’t keep it, knowing that was where his parents and friends died.

=== '''A New Beginning:''' ===

Once he was able to sell his parents’ freighter, that amount, combined with what savings his parents had left him, was enough to buy a new ship. But he also realized it wouldn’t be a good investment just yet. Not many crew members would be willing to take orders from a scrawny fourteen-year-old boy. He would have to bank his savings for now and find work on someone else’s vessel or somewhere. He would have to bide his time until he was grown, then he could buy his own ship and go hunting for the pirates that killed his family.

It took a couple of weeks of persistent hunting to find work on the docks. At least he could keep track of ships coming and going. He’d keep his ear to the ground for any chance of work on a ship. But for now, any work was more credits in the bank, though they paid him less because of his age, it still helped. He was able to stay fed, and he had a small apartment to live in.

=== '''The Red Dawn:''' ===

By the time Jaxyn was eighteen, he had filled out quite a bit from several years of hard labor working in the docks. Now, he felt confident he could get his own ship and a small, trustworthy crew, and then he would start his hunt for the pirates who took his parents from him. In the meantime, he would start working freight like they did to pay the bills and keep the crew busy.

He named his new ship the ''Red Dawn''. It was agile for a freighter of its size, and he had it upgraded with extra weaponry and a stronger hyperdrive, as well as stronger shields. One of his crew joked that he was turning her into a pirate ship, since most honest freighters didn’t pack so many upgrades. He laughed and just said he wanted to be able to fight pirates if they came for him.

Two years after getting the ''Red Dawn'', his wish finally came true, and he spotted a familiar ship. They were coming after him, and he grinned. “Time to spring the trap.” Rather than trying to run, which most weaker ships would do, he turned the Red Dawn about to face the oncoming pirates and opened fire with all the turbolasers and missiles he had gotten installed. The upgraded shields were holding, while they were clearly beginning to weaken the pirate ship, and eventually, they won the battle as the pirate ship’s engines exploded.

He strapped on his blasters and nodded to his crew to arm up. “We’re gonna go see what goodies they have, first thing, once we’re in, seal off any bulkheads to the engine room. Then start combing the ship for anything valuable. Be wary, these are pirates we’re dealing with. Don’t leave any of them alive.”

His crew laughed, and one said, “I knew you were gonna go pirate, no one outfits a ship like this for just honest freight work.”

They swept through the ship, eliminating the pirates until he came to the captain of the ship. He held up a hand, and his crew formed up behind him, but understood, this was his kill to make. He shot the pirate with cold satisfaction. His parents had been avenged. So began his reputation as a pirate, but his would be an unusual reputation. Because no one on any ship he attacked was ever killed.

=== '''Taken By Storm:''' ===

Near the end of 21 ABY, Jaxen was on Tatooine to pick up cargo for another smuggling run. However, his plans were about to change. A cloaked woman approached and very persuasively convinced him to ditch his cargo and take her on as a passenger.

The woman identified herself as Rasilvenaira Stormraven, an assassin. And explained that she was fleeing a Trandoshan bounty hunter after possibly killing one of his kin. When the bounty hunter caught up with them, the firepower of the ''Red Dawn'' was enough to finish him off. Rasilvenaira decided to travel with him for a while. This would lead to a year-long affair between the two.

Then one day, Rasilvenaira left without saying anything to him. He was heartbroken and never gave up hope of finding her again.

=== '''The Search:''' ===

Jaxyn eventually gave up piracy and returned to more legitimate work. His crew shrank to only two who stayed loyal to him. He didn’t mind that; some were looking for more adventure. He was getting older, and so was his ship. He didn’t want to end up in a fight he couldn’t win. Still, his search continued for twenty years. He came close to finding Rasilvenaira many times, missing her by hours, sometimes mere minutes. But he was persistent and felt certain his luck would turn someday.

His day finally came when he found Rasilvenaira on Nar Shaddaa. They reunited, and she apologized for leaving and for avoiding him for so long. They decided to start over fresh, and to that end, Jaxyn sold the ''Red Dawn'' and went with Rasilvenaira on her ship, the ''Caliburnus''. They traveled back to Rasilvenaira’s home on Seraph, and she explained her position within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, where she was Quaestor of her House Caliburnus, for which her ship was named.

=== '''Present Day:''' ===
He agreed that he would join the Brotherhood so he could officially help her out. Since he was not a Force-user, he chose the path of the Mercenary.

=== '''Youth:''' ===
Jaxyn Rax was born aboard a space freighter in 3 BBY. His father, Kutrar Rax, was Kiffar. His mother, Cyntava Kintri, was human. When his father tried to take him back to his clan to receive the clan tattoo at the age of five, the clan rejected him because of his mixed blood. He was raised aboard a ship by his parents. They tried to teach him all they could, especially about the ship. By the age of ten, he was helping them to fly their freighter.

=== '''Loss and Heartache:''' ===
When Jaxyn was fourteen, the family’s freighter was attacked by pirates. His mother rushed him into a storage room, opened a secret panel, and pushed him into the hiding spot. “Stay here, no matter what happens, and take this.” She handed him a credit chit that held the account information with all their savings. “You’ll need it after, and we don’t want them to find it. Now promise me you’ll stay here and be very quiet.”

“I promise.” He was terrified, but obeyed. She closed the panel to hide him and ran to join her husband. When the pirates boarded, he could hear them ransacking the ship and shouting to each other. He tucked the credit chit into his pocket and prayed that they wouldn’t find him. Though he also felt like such a coward, he knew his mother was right; against a fully armed group of pirates, he wouldn’t stand a chance if he didn’t stay hidden until they were gone.

He heard blaster shots, his mother’s screams, and more blaster shots. He bit his lip and held back the tears that wanted to fall. He had to keep it together; he couldn’t make any sounds. He prayed harder that the pirates would leave the ship soon. He waited, listening carefully. He heard the pirate ship disconnect from theirs.

Jaxyn Rax was born aboard a space freighter in 3 BBY. His father, Kutrar Rax, was Kiffar. His mother, Cyntava Kintri, was human. When his father tried to take him back to his clan to receive the clan tattoo at the age of five, the clan rejected him because of his mixed blood. He was raised aboard a ship by his parents. They tried to teach him all they could, especially about the ship. By the age of ten, he was helping them to fly their freighter.

=== '''Loss and Heartache:''' ===
When Jaxyn was fourteen, the family’s freighter was attacked by pirates. His mother rushed him into a storage room, opened a secret panel, and pushed him into the hiding spot. “Stay here, no matter what happens, and take this.” She handed him a credit chit that held the account information with all their savings. “You’ll need it after, and we don’t want them to find it. Now promise me you’ll stay here and be very quiet.”

“I promise.” He was terrified, but obeyed. She closed the panel to hide him and ran to join her husband. When the pirates boarded, he could hear them ransacking the ship and shouting to each other. He tucked the credit chit into his pocket and prayed that they wouldn’t find him. Though he also felt like such a coward, he knew his mother was right; against a fully armed group of pirates, he wouldn’t stand a chance if he didn’t stay hidden until they were gone.

He heard blaster shots, his mother’s screams, and more blaster shots. He bit his lip and held back the tears that wanted to fall. He had to keep it together; he couldn’t make any sounds. He prayed harder that the pirates would leave the ship soon. He waited, listening carefully. He heard the pirate ship disconnect from theirs. He hoped the air lock was intact, but he didn’t hear any of the whooshing sound that would have indicated a damaged seal. He waited a while longer; it seemed like an eternity, but he heard no other sounds. Finally, he decided to risk it and exited his hiding place.

He found his parents and the rest of the crew, all dead. Tears stung his eyes, and he knelt down by his parents. He vowed that someday, he would avenge them. But for now, all he could do was wipe away the tears and then find blankets to cover them with. He went up to the cockpit, and thankfully, the astromech was still intact, just knocked over. He helped it upright and hugged it. “You alright, C1?”

The droid affirmed it was functional, so with the droid’s help, he made his way to the nearest place that might purchase the ship. He couldn’t keep it, knowing that was where his parents and friends died.

=== '''A New Beginning:''' ===

Once he was able to sell his parents’ freighter, that amount, combined with what savings his parents had left him, was enough to buy a new ship. But he also realized it wouldn’t be a good investment just yet. Not many crew members would be willing to take orders from a scrawny fourteen-year-old boy. He would have to bank his savings for now and find work on someone else’s vessel or somewhere. He would have to bide his time until he was grown, then he could buy his own ship and go hunting for the pirates that killed his family.

It took a couple of weeks of persistent hunting to find work on the docks. At least he could keep track of ships coming and going. He’d keep his ear to the ground for any chance of work on a ship. But for now, any work was more credits in the bank, though they paid him less because of his age, it still helped. He was able to stay fed, and he had a small apartment to live in.

=== '''The Red Dawn:''' ===

By the time Jaxyn was eighteen, he had filled out quite a bit from several years of hard labor working in the docks. Now, he felt confident he could get his own ship and a small, trustworthy crew, and then he would start his hunt for the pirates who took his parents from him. In the meantime, he would start working freight like they did to pay the bills and keep the crew busy.

He named his new ship the ''Red Dawn''. It was agile for a freighter of its size, and he had it upgraded with extra weaponry and a stronger hyperdrive, as well as stronger shields. One of his crew joked that he was turning her into a pirate ship, since most honest freighters didn’t pack so many upgrades. He laughed and just said he wanted to be able to fight pirates if they came for him.

Two years after getting the ''Red Dawn'', his wish finally came true, and he spotted a familiar ship. They were coming after him, and he grinned. “Time to spring the trap.” Rather than trying to run, which most weaker ships would do, he turned the Red Dawn about to face the oncoming pirates and opened fire with all the turbolasers and missiles he had gotten installed. The upgraded shields were holding, while they were clearly beginning to weaken the pirate ship, and eventually, they won the battle as the pirate ship’s engines exploded.

He strapped on his blasters and nodded to his crew to arm up. “We’re gonna go see what goodies they have, first thing, once we’re in, seal off any bulkheads to the engine room. Then start combing the ship for anything valuable. Be wary, these are pirates we’re dealing with. Don’t leave any of them alive.”

His crew laughed, and one said, “I knew you were gonna go pirate, no one outfits a ship like this for just honest freight work.”

They swept through the ship, eliminating the pirates until he came to the captain of the ship. He held up a hand, and his crew formed up behind him, but understood, this was his kill to make. He shot the pirate with cold satisfaction. His parents had been avenged. So began his reputation as a pirate, but his would be an unusual reputation. Because no one on any ship he attacked was ever killed.

=== '''Taken By Storm:''' ===

Near the end of 21 ABY, Jaxen was on Tatooine to pick up cargo for another smuggling run. However, his plans were about to change. A cloaked woman approached and very persuasively convinced him to ditch his cargo and take her on as a passenger.

The woman identified herself as Rasilvenaira Stormraven, an assassin. And explained that she was fleeing a Trandoshan bounty hunter after possibly killing one of his kin. When the bounty hunter caught up with them, the firepower of the ''Red Dawn'' was enough to finish him off. Rasilvenaira decided to travel with him for a while. This would lead to a year-long affair between the two.

Then one day, Rasilvenaira left without saying anything to him. He was heartbroken and never gave up hope of finding her again.

=== '''The Search:''' ===

Jaxyn eventually gave up piracy and returned to more legitimate work. His crew shrank to only two who stayed loyal to him. He didn’t mind that; some were looking for more adventure. He was getting older, and so was his ship. He didn’t want to end up in a fight he couldn’t win. Still, his search continued for twenty years. He came close to finding Rasilvenaira many times, missing her by hours, sometimes mere minutes. But he was persistent and felt certain his luck would turn someday.

His day finally came when he found Rasilvenaira on Nar Shaddaa. They reunited, and she apologized for leaving and for avoiding him for so long. They decided to start over fresh, and to that end, Jaxyn sold the ''Red Dawn'' and went with Rasilvenaira on her ship, the ''Caliburnus''. They traveled back to Rasilvenaira’s home on Seraph, and she explained her position within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, where she was Quaestor of her House Caliburnus, for which her ship was named.

=== '''Present Day:''' ===
He agreed that he would join the Brotherhood so he could officially help her out. Since he was not a Force-user, he chose the path of the Mercenary. He moved in with Rasilvenaira at her home to help around the Menagerie, and to share her burdens as a companion should. He’s been quickly working his way through the ranks of the Brotherhood.

The [[Bureau of Archival Requisitions]] (BAR), located within The Monolith, is a central hub for [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] and its inhabitants. While its name might suggest a typical bar to outsiders, the BAR is a multi-faceted complex that evolved from an office dedicated to acquiring scholarly texts and ancient apocrypha. Originally, the BAR was simply a place to find new materials. However, its success and popularity led to an expansion beyond its initial purpose. Today, in addition to its core function of handling new acquisitions, the BAR complex features three main areas:

===The Archival Stacks and Intake===
At the very core of the Bureau of Archival Requisition lies the Archival Stacks and Intake area. This is the BAR's original purpose manifested: the meticulous collection, organization, and preservation of history.

Entering this section, visitors are greeted with towering, condensed stacks filled with countless shelves that seem to stretch for a kilometer. Each has its own droid and retrieval system to keep the stacks both organized and free from damage. The air is kept cool with a near-zero humidity to protect the older texts that are not digitized.

The Intake Operation Droids are a marvel of archival efficiency. New acquisitions either ancient artifacts or tomes, or newer digital items, are brought here. They pass through various stages of authentication, digital encoding, physical preservation (for analog items), and meticulous cataloging by highly trained live archivists. It's a bustling yet orderly process, ensuring that every piece of knowledge is properly assessed, integrated, and made accessible to the Clan. While not the social area the rest of the BAR is it is the real reason the area exists.

===Lounge===
[[File:BAR Lounge.png|thumb|200x200px|The Lounge at the BAR]]
The Lounge was the first addition to the BAR, designed for the comfort and socializing of its visitors. Unlike the usual practical Imperial architecture, the Lounge is lavishly decorated, spacious, and provides a deliberate departure and stark contrast to the rest of the Monolith with its warm and tasteful ambiance. It's an ideal spot for colleagues to gather and converse in a relaxed setting. It features deep plush sofas and armchairs upholstered in luxurious dark leathers.

The floors are covered in thick woven rugs that absorb the sounds of foot traffic. Soft throw blankets are folded neatly across the backs of sofas and chairs. The harsh lighting has been replaced with warm reading lamps, both on small end tables as well as recessed in the ceiling. The end tables, coffee tables, and shelving are handcrafted out of dark, polished wood from [[Judecca]]. The walls are adorned with artwork pieces that evoke a sense of history and knowledge. Decorative objects, such as ornate vases, interesting sculptures, and carefully selected ancient artifacts from the BAR's collection, are set up around the space to complete the relaxed atmosphere.

===Meditation===
[[File:Meditation Chambers.png|left|thumb|200x200px|The Meditation and Study Rooms]]
Recognizing that patrons often wanted to immediately engage with new and thought-provoking materials, the Meditation Chamber was created. Initially, people would meditate in the Lounge, but this disrupted the social atmosphere. The Meditation chamber now offers individual pods, providing a quiet space for focused study and reflection on discoveries.

This chamber offers a direct counterpoint to the Lounge's communal vibe. It's a space designed for clarity and concentration, characterized by a minimalist aesthetic with calming colors like blues, greens, or neutral grays. The defining feature is the array of individual pods that are semi-enclosed alcoves with a glass front and door. High-quality acoustic materials ensure a quiet environment, muffling sounds from other pods or outside the chamber. Each pod offers adjustable lighting, allowing patrons to set their preferred illumination for intense study or quiet reflection. The seating within each pod is ergonomically designed for prolonged comfort. Seamlessly integrated interfaces within each pod provide access to digital texts and note-taking tools, designed to aid focus rather than distract.

===Bar at the BAR===
[[File:Bar.png|thumb|200x200px|The bar at the BAR]]
Responding to years of playful teasing about its name, the BAR's leadership eventually added a small kitchenette and wet bar. This area allows patrons to prepare simple snacks and enjoy a select, prestigious range of drinks. A few high-top tables and benches are available for those who wish to eat and drink. While not strictly forbidden, taking drinks from the "Bar at the BAR" into the Lounge is discouraged.

It's a deliberately understated space, prioritizing function and form. The kitchenette features modern, discreet appliances, allowing for quick preparation of light refreshments. The wet bar itself boasts a curated collection of beverages but no bartender. The honor system is in place for replacing bottles, or a small donation box is available to help restock the bar and small pantry.

Nearby, a half-dozen sleek, high-top tables of brushed metal provide standing or stool seating. Two equally modern benches offer additional space for guests to gather, allowing for casual conversation while they eat their snacks or have a drink. Food and drink can be taken to the lounge area, but it is expressly forbidden in the Stacks and the meditation areas to prevent any accidental damage.

Trivia: The BAR was originally a competition entry by [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/3168 J'Kast] to design a Social RP venue.

'''Steelstrike Garrison''' also known as “The Rock” is the home of [[House Caliburnus]]. Nestled deep in the Phiri mountain range, this secret facility functions as the base of operations for the House.

==History==
Steelstrike Garrison was initially found by Imperial scouts shortly after the arrival of Clan Scholae Palatinae on Seraph. At the time of the finding, it was a mountain with deep caves that the aboriginal population used for shelter and worship. The aborigines aggressively attacked any Imperial scouts that closed in on the mountain. Under order of the Consul Thran Occasus-Palpatine, the aborigines were wiped out and the mountain cave system taken into Imperial control.

Shortly afterwards, construction began. The mountain was hollowed out on the inside, leaving several meters of rock as outer protection and structural support. Afterwards, different levels were built into it to form the Headquarters of House Caliburnus and their fleet.

Unlike its Ptolomean predecessor, the [[Obsidian Palace]], the headquarters for Caliburnus on Seraph are no longer the opulent quarters for a tyrant. The Steelstrike Garrison was built for practicality and function rather than being a lavish show of the House's wealth.

==Location==
[[File:Steelstrike Garrison location map.png|thumb|Steelstrike Garrison Location ]]
Steelstrike Garrison is located within the Phiri mountain range in central Elaya. The closest city of note is Azatra.

The Garrison is built into the side of a mountain, making use of much of the existing cave and tunnel systems left behind by the aboriginal people that had once called the mountain home.

Its location is strategic, being within easy reach of the Monolith. Thus, it would likely be Caliburnus rising to the occasion should the Monolith and the Clan Summit require protection from any incoming threat or attack.

==Layout==
The Rock consists of 5 levels, laid out as follows:

Level 1: Hangar and armory. This is where fighter squadrons not currently on deployment are stationed to protect Seraph. There is a large retractable opening at the bottom of the mountain that opens to allow starfighters in and out of the base. The cave system behind the hangar offers secure storage for fuel and weapons, repair parts for ships and vehicles, and a droid service bay.

Level 2: Personnel quarters for house members, barracks for ground forces, pilots, and officers; lavatories, and the cafeteria. The cave system provides ample storage areas for provisions and fresh water. This helps protect the Garrison against any siege trying to cut off supplies.

Level 3: A high-ceilinged level that serves as a training ground for members of House Caliburnus. This area contains training droids used for weapon training, climbing walls, ropes hanging from the ceiling, weights, a full-sized running track, a large swimming pool, and an obstacle course.

Level 4: The War Room: Top Secret and inaccessible except to high-level members of the House and Clan. The adjacent cavern serves as a secure bunker to protect important personnel and valuable artifacts in the House's possession.

Level 5: The Quaestor’s Office and personal chambers. The personal chambers are further back in the natural cavern space, thus protecting the Quaestor against possible attacks from outside. It also provides ample housing for some of the current Quaestor's pets.

[[House Caliburnus]] (commonly abbreviated as '''HC''') was one of three Houses of [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]] along with [[Acclivis Draco|House Acclivis Draco]] and [[Dorimad Sol|House Dorimad Sol]]. It has since been restored as a battleteam, following the shrinking of Clan Scholae Palatinae into a house. More information can be found in the [[Caliburnus Prospectus|House's Prospectus]]

== Caliburnus' History ==
=== The Beginnings ===
House Scholae Palatinae(HSP) was originally created by the Emperor's Hammer's Intelligence Division to be their force-wielding hand of justice, however as time went on, House Scholae Palatinae grew far beyond its original purpose to become one of the most powerful Dark Side forces in the galaxy. As time passed, the House lost much of its connection with the Intelligence Division and became instead an influential House of the One Clan of the Dark Brotherhood.

For centuries, on every planet in existence, espionage, demolition, and subterfuge have been the weaponry of both good and evil. In a time when the Emperor's Hammer stood poised to strike at the heart of the New Republic, the need for an elite, Force-capable group of agents to use these weapons was never greater. The Consul of Clan Scholae Palatinae (CSP) responded to the call for such a group and dedicated one of the new houses of his Clan for this purpose. The Sith of Clan Scholae Palatinae would serve not only their Clan and the Brotherhood, but also the Emperor's Hammer as whole.

This House is said to have borrowed its name from an ancient mythical blade recorded in histories throughout the galaxy. This weapon was called Caliburnus. Looking back on the old records, historians have come to agree that the Caliburnus legend is a reference to the first lightsaber. Such a powerful and strange weapon could easily inspire such awe and fear. The power has not left the Caliburnus name; today many still fear it, as they should. Thus was the birth of House Caliburnus...

Clan Scholae Palatinae was destroyed by the Star Chamber for motives not known to any Dark Side Scholars. For the members of the Clan the tides of fate had decreed the following: Two houses were moved into other clans, their members being mind wiped first, the third house, Caliburnus, was totally destroyed. Thor, the home planet of House Caliburnus, was bombarded, killing many of the house members and the forcing the remainder to flee into the wastelands of the icy planet. Caliburnus was forgotten about and neglected, many assuming that the remnants had died. In that everyone was wrong, for they had survived.

Thor, always a barren planet, was devastated and it's fragile ecosystem was shattered, to this day, nothing can live there unprotected from the strange ethereal storms that plague the surface, said to have been the essence of the Dark Jedi that had been betrayed and killed by their brethren, these storms will kill anyone that is unfortunate enough to be caught above ground. The planet is shrouded in perpetual darkness, the only illumination is from the lightning that scars the uncaring landscape.

Probes sent to the planet years later by the Directorate reported a strange sight. The buildings that had been reduced to rubble in the bombardment were standing again, their tall spires challenging those who had betrayed them long before. An embassy was promptly sent by the Brotherhood to meet with this rogue house. This meeting was inconclusive at best, the Dark Brotherhood envoys were suspicious of the House members, who were cold and distant to all outsiders. Exactly what the mandate of Caliburnus was, none have been able to ascertain, though their dark past hints towards an even darker future.

House Caliburnus became independent, unable to accept the rule of a Clan. They represented the fallen legacy of the Great Scholae Palatinae, formed during Palpatine's reign. Their voracious anger was well known as they vented their hatred on anyone within reach, on all who opposed them. It was said that the members had not forgotten the Betrayal and were biding their time before they strike the final blow.

The Politics of the Brotherhood are violent and indiscriminate. Sporadic clan warfare and a large rogue Jedi base led to the directive ordered by the Grand Master. Houses were to be of one order only. This boded ill for the former Scholae Palatinae. Their numbers were few and mostly of the Sith order. But the Scholae Palatinae are not easily defeated, like the Phoenix, they rose again, from the flames of their destruction Clan Scholae Palatinae was reborn. Three Houses were formed under the banner of Scholae Palatinae, keeping the original names of the defeated to honor their memory and to remind all Scholae Palatinae of their dark past and darker future.

House Caliburnus became the House of the Sith Order, as they had always been Sith dominated, this seemed a logical path. They are comprised of the best Starfighter pilots Clan Scholae Palatinae has to offer. Based from their traditional home planet of Thor, this House continues to escort Clan officials on their travels and in times of war, House Caliburnus carries the standard of Scholae Palatinae as they assault enemy installations, isolating the foe so that the Clan's other military forces can sweep through the remaining defenses.

When the Exodus came and the Brotherhood left the Emperor's Hammer, Clan Scholae Palatinae took up a new home, in the Cocytus system. To this day, Caliburnus stands as the vanguard force of Scholae Palatinae. The House was based on the outermost planet of the system, Ptolomea, so that the Sith house would always be ready, first to defend, first to strike, always watchful. That is the Legacy which Caliburnus still upholds with pride.

=== The Legend of Caliburnus ===
The history of the weapon which came to be known as Caliburnus is a long and twisting tale. There is much that has been lost to the mists of time, but its story begins over a thousand years before the battle of Yavin. It has traveled through many hands over the years, many which will never be known.

The earliest history for the weapon goes back to Belia Darzu. It is uncertain whether she actually crafted the weapon or if it was collected from one of her enemies and then modified by her. However, it is believed to be likely that it was crafted by her, given the nature of the alloy used in the construction of the hilt, the alchemically enhanced Corusca generator crystal, and her skill with metallurgy and alchemy.

After Belia Darzu's death, it is not known where the weapon went, but it eventually resurfaced in the possession of Lord Kaan who is thought to have further enhanced the power of the weapon by altering the novae within it. After the death of Kaan, the weapon found its way into the hands of Darth Bane, claiming its power for his reformed Sith order. Darth Zannah, a young and unpredicted selection for an Apprentice of Darth Bane, may have been selected by the enchantment that gives the weapon the ability to choose who wields it.

From there, the weapon was lost for many years until it allegedly resurfaced with Darth Cognus. While very little is known about Darth Cognus, his wealth of knowledge certainly helped to build the power of the weapon. Darth Vectivus who is known for being a gaudy man, owned a mine in an asteroid. Lumiya, lady of the Sith and follower of Palpatine, came to own the mine many years later. The peculiar activity and apparent lack of interest may hint that she was looking for the weapon but could not locate it. Vectivus is responsible for the rare dark side gem and the golden phrik adornments that decorate the hilt.

After the weapon left the possession of Vectivus, it seemingly vanished. In the time afterwards, cult followings had formed with the sole goal of scouring the galaxy for the weapon. It was sought, however, by both Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious who coveted the powerful weapon.

Darth Sidious, or Emperor Palpatine, formed what came to be known as the Emperor's Guard, an elite and special group of Dark Jedi. Many of the members of the Emperor's Guard were frequently sent on quests to search for the legendary Caliburnus. Even after Sidious' death and the formation of what was to become the Clan Scholae Palatinae, some of those Dark Jedi still continued the search for the weapon.

For many years the weapon somehow eluded those who sought it. Some wanted it for it's beauty as a rare trophy, others sought its legendary power, others perhaps for even more mysterious reasons. However, it remained hidden, waiting for its true purpose, its true home.

Eventually the weapon was rediscovered during an excavation on Korriban. How long the weapon had been there soaking in the power of the dark side or how it even had come to be there, no one knew. An unknown Dark Jedi, a Sith according to the records, claimed the legendary weapon. As the weapon was claimed, it again vanished, waiting for the proper guardians.

As the weapon became the focal point for House Caliburnus, the followers of this legendary weapon continued the search. Though their attempts to locate the weapon were unsuccessful, the fierce Sith warriors and pilots were the vanguard of the Clan Scholae Palatinae and struck fear into those who opposed them.

In time however, darkness fell over the Clan and it was destroyed. Two houses were forced into Clan Arcona. House Caliburnus was destroyed, deemed too dangerous to be left intact. However, the destiny of Caliburnus was not over, the House survived, much like the weapon. Forgotten by the Brotherhood, they had grown strong, their anger and hatred fueled by the betrayal that had nearly destroyed them would not be forgotten.

Eventually Caliburnus became the cornerstone for the reemergence of the Clan Scholae Palatinae. Proud and secure in their heritage, they refused to bow to the will of any other Clan. Caliburnus became a house truly forged in the fires of war, tested and tried many times, always emerging triumphant regardless of the odds.

When the Clan moved it's home base to the Cocytus system, it was deemed prudent by the reigning ruler of Caliburnus that the legendary weapon be relocated and protected, never wanting to risk it falling into the wrong hands. After countless hours of investigation and scouring through historical documents, the scholars of the House had come to determine a frightening fact. The great weapon was hidden away in a sacred Altar on the planet of Ptolomea; they had been led to it by the fate of the House and the grace of the Force.

Much to their dismay they learned, through the documents of a Sith scribe, that the weapon had be stripped of most of its power. While it was no longer the fearsome and devastating weapon of the Sith of yesteryear, it was still a powerful relic that could undoubtedly unite a House or Clan. In the same records, it was discovered that Force sensitive guardians of terrible strength were tasked with the keeping of its secret, only to be revealed by a chosen one. Over time those who guarded the Altar had fallen to a feral state, wholly focused on keeping Caliburnus safe. While the documents used by the House's scribes and scholars were extremely accurate, they were written anonymously. The last years of the legend had been documented, cryptically. Finally with the message decoded, the House set on a trek with the sole goal to capture the weapon…

=== Exodus and Beyond ===
After the Exodus, House Caliburnus has a strong development and growing populous of members. The early Quaestors Gidda, Predator, and Darkmage furiously worked for the starting and upbringing of Caliburnus to great potential.

But soon after it was brought out, and dragged through Quaestors Kane Reese, JKast, and Lenzar, the House was brought to a close.

=== Brujah: Liberator of Caliburnus ===
Caliburnus had been laid to rest for quite a few years. Then, in 24 ABY Dark Jedi Knight Brujah Tamalar asked the Consul of Scholae Palatinae if he could reopen House Caliburnus. With the acceptance of his peers, Masters, and the Consul, Brujah reopened House Caliburnus was brought forth great new opportunities to the House.

Brujah established two Battle Teams for the House; Nightshade Squadron, and Nightmare Squadron. They both would serve in the Sith House for a very long time into Caliburnus’ future.

The highlight of Brujah’s tenure as Quaestor was when he tested the defenses of the House’s might in a feud with the jealous House, Dorimand Sol. In response, Brujah wiped the galactic floor with the heads of Dorimand Sol, and brought Caliburnus into full respect as the best House within Clan Scholae Palatinae. Brujah liberated House Caliburnus from the paths of destruction.

=== Impetus: Bringing Caliburnus to the Heavens ===
In 25 ABY, Brujah Tamalar stepped down as Quaestor. It was at this time, Impetus was placed into his position.

House Caliburnus was terribly hurt physically and mentally in its feud with House Dorimand Sol, even though Caliburnus survived. Impetus helped revive the spirits of the House by opening a new Battle Team to help with the training of newer members of Caliburnus. The new Battle Team was to be called Spirits of the Night. Soon after she also established a more “elite” Battle Team called Souls of Darkness, which housed the more astonishing members of the House.

Impetus was known for many things within Caliburnus, especially with the way she communicated well with people (mostly the opposite sex). Males such as Horus Blackheart, her Aedile Xen, and Thran Occassus were able to communicate easily with each other and her because of the established sense of Impetus’ social works.

She also lead the House in the Seventh Great Jedi War.

After the GJW, someone had tried to assassinate the Quaestor. It was suspected as being someone from Acclivis Draco. After a quick kill by Impetus, a war went on between the Draconians and the Caliburnans. Although the in-fighting was quelled, Acclivians came to respect Caliburnians more, and in return Impetus stepped down as Quaestor to go back to Acclivis Draco.

=== Thran Occassus: Establishing Greatness ===
Thran Occassus, the former Aedile of Caliburnus, had quickly taken steps to make sure he became Quaestor (and people were glad that he became the Quaestor).

Thran started looking into Caliburnus’ future. The House had already risen from the dead, destroyed another House, fought and beat another House, and now needed something to truly live and stand for. He wanted his plans for Caliburnus to be long-lasting.

Thran had put many investments into offworldly companies and outer rim worlds, bringing in some hectic money for the House. With this money coming in, Thran helped purchase new House facilities, and even a space station (Dynasty Station) to orbit above Ptolomea.

Dynasty Station brought new defensive plans for Caliburnus, new military operations, a new military, a trading and merchant post, scientific and research facilities, and shiny tip to the pointed spear called Ptolomea of protection for the Cocytus System.

Thran also bought animals and non-sentient species from other worlds to breed and have as pets on Ptolomea and throughout Caliburnus. Rumor has it that Thran had planned to have a battalion of ferocious beasts in the Ptolomean defenses, but the rumor never became true.

Thran helped cartographers and mappers map more of Ptolomea’s lands and seas, making travel and helping the future of Caliburnus to sprawl throughout Ptolomea. It was in the deep jungles of Ptolomea that Thran suddenly disappeared from Caliburnus, and was not seen for a long time after the Eighth Great Jedi War.

=== Rasilvenaira: Caliburnian Survival Queen ===
After the Eighth Great Jedi War, Caliburnus floated through space with the rest of the Clan. Eventually a time was set to reclaim the Judecca and the Cocytus system. With Thran having left, Rasilvenaira was made the Quaestor of Caliburnus. Rasilvenaira lay waste to the Vong that inhabited Ptolomea. Everything that was destroyed by the Vong was eventually brought back to life by the careful planning of the Quaestor.

Awhile later, she had made contact with a Hutt for trade agreements with a Hutt named Dajurra. When the agreements were made, the shipments started being attacked. Eventually uncovering a plot by Dajurra the Hutt to destroy Caliburnus and reap the benefits, Rasilvenaira planned an attack on Dajurra. Yzarc, Ras’ Aedile, eventually led a spearhead attack on the Hutt’s base and destroyed his palace.

Rasilvenaira led Caliburnus through two battles for survival of Caliburnus. She had helped with the revival of the markets and economy of Caliburnus too.

=== Archangel: The Face of Caliburnus ===
After Rasilvenaira stepped down as Quaestor of Caliburnus, Yzarc stepped up and took hold of the position. But due to problems within what Yzarc thought were problems within the Clan Scholae Palatinae, he stepped down. At this time, Brent “Archangel” Ligur Victae was placed into the position as Quaestor of House Caliburnus.

When Plagueis tried to reclaim the Jusidah system that was overrun by the Vong, Phoenix and Lucien led an attack onto the Jusidah system to help Braecen and Plagueis. During this time, Archangel led Caliburnus in the battle of uneasy alliances, helping destroy the Vong in the region, but also defending attacks from Clan Arcona, whom had taken the time to try and destroy a Vong-torn Plagueis.

After the Scholae/Plagueis win against the Arconians, Archangel started establishing more of a royalty to the House and the Ptolomean buildings. He also brought on the beginnings of what would eventually be (in a different reign) a new Battle Team; Validus Nocta.

Archangel’s rule of Caliburnus came to a close when he left for the new Independent House Revan.

=== The Destruction ===
With Archangel's leave, Dakari was quickly placed as an emergency Quaestor. Dakari had led Caliburnus through the Ninth Great Jedi War. Afterwards, he left the Quaestorship over to Luciferus "Scyrone" Leviathan.

Luciferus tried to keep the House alive, but with the members dwindling, the economic investments drying up, and the lack of activity, the House became very weak.

In 31 ABY a group of Scholaeian terrorists by the name of "The Cause" set up an attack on the planet of Caliburnus. Without a stable leadership and without a strong hold on members, the House collapsed within the grip of "The Cause". The members, by order of the Consul, were split among the two remaining Houses.

=== Reformation ===
In 33 ABY, following the shrinking of the clans into houses, Scholae Palatinae found itself in need of more battleteams than it previously had houses. As such, Caliburnus was restored from the ashes after two years of obscurity to serve Scholae Palatinae once more. Given past Quaestor Impetus M’Nar’s return from her studies away from Scholae Palatinae, she was drafted into the position, the first to lead Caliburnus in its new incarnation as a Battle Team. Determined to build a strong team to support Scholae Palatinae’s claim to clan status, Impetus began recruiting only the best as she sought to carve out a new place for Caliburnus.

Using her recent new position as Commander of the [[Imperial Scholae Intelligence]] to better her new Caliburnus, she attached the Battleteam to the ISI. Caliburnus found itself a new home within Scholae Palatinae, as a force of Elite intelligence agents called upon for the most absolute highest priority tasks. The Dark Jedi of Caliburnus would be backed by a very small contingent of non-force sensitives hand picked by the Commander to fulfil the tasks the Jedi couldn’t.

Under the leadership of [[Xantros]], Caliburnus maintained its character as an intelligence unit of House Scholae Palatinae.

== Younger Days ==

Born on the planet of Coruscant in the year 12 ABY, the young Brelon Kinrolf was orphaned at the age of seven. He was passed around to a couple different distant family members but none really could keep up with the precocious youngster. So he ended up on the streets, following his endless curiosity. He was taken in by a group of other street rats and learned much of his early survival skills and the ability to pick pockets. Brelon was quite a skillful thief and quickly rose in prestige among the rag-tag group of urchins. However, as he grew older, he felt a deep restlessness begin to itch just below the surface of his mind.

== To The Stars ==

Unwilling to accept that this life on Coruscant was all the galaxy could offer him, Brelon turned his eyes skyward. As a teenager he often spent much of his time in and around the spaceports where he would gaze at ships, listen to travelers and dream. Finally, at the age of sixteen, Brelon gathered his few belongings and made his move. The adventurous teen stowed away on a space freighter that would leave Coruscant far behind. As he felt the vibrations of the shi

p and peeked out viewports, he finally truly felt free. The restlessness seemed to ease and he thought his life couldn’t get any better. But then the crew caught him when he came out to try to steal some food. They were a mostly human crew so took compassion on him and allowed him to stay as long as he promised to work to earn his keep. He joyfully agreed and thus began his first true step toward becoming himself.

== Adulthood ==

Brelon traveled the galaxy, moving on from the freighter he had first joined when he turned nineteen. They bid him well on Corellia and he sought out another ship on which to make a better living. He kept moving and skipping to different ships every couple of years, thriving on the vastness and variety of opportunities the galaxy presented to him. He was an avid learner and a hard worker, which kept him in good stead on every ship. Brelon enjoyed learning about ships, their maintenance, and of course when he was given the chance, how to fly them. By the time he was twenty-three, he was well regarded in the circles he often found himself in. He finally boarded a luxury liner as a co-pilot bound for the Smuggler’s Moon of Nar Shaddaa.

== Trouble On Nar Shaddaa ==

Right after the liner Brelon was co-piloting hit real space on the approach to Nar Shaddaa, trouble struck. The ship came under attack by pirates. Badly damaged, the ship crash landed on Nar Shaddaa. Brelon survived and did what he could to help other survivors escape the ship’s wreckage. Finding himself stranded and now down on his luck, the resilient young man fell back on what he had learned as a kid on Nar Shaddaa. Needing to get enough to get passage off the moon, he was willing to work hard and save. He wasn’t content to just skip off on any junk heap flying out. He had places he wanted to explore and the kinds of ships going there were going to be hard to get onboard without plenty of funding. While he still had some saved up from his years of working it, he wisely was not willing to squander it. He found a place to stay, had enough to eat, but then he started planning. He would steal what he could and add to his growing savings and hope the right ship and the right opportunity would show up for him. He trusted his luck, most of the time it hadn’t let him down, and it was his best instinct at the time.

== Enter The StormRaven ==

One year passed by while Brelon stayed on Nar Shaddaa, but he felt that he was getting close to his goal. The restlessness was back prickling at his skin and mind, urging him to move on. His normally stellar luck was struck the second blow of his lifetime when he chose the wrong pocket to try to pick one day. A hand with a vice-like grip caught him before he could move away and he found himself staring into the dark, nearly black eyes of a woman considerably shorter than himself. However, those eyes held a sense of power and authority that told him that she was not one to be trifled with. She introduced herself in a cold but calm tone and held her other hand out to retrieve what he had taken. Rasilvenaira Stormraven, a Sith Warlord on a business trip, seemed almost amused and let go of him but bid him to stay and talk instead of running. Rasilvenaira told him that she sensed a great deal of potential and untapped power within him and offered him the dubious choice of joining her and to return with her to her home system, or to die for trying to steal from her. As she pulled back her cloak and stared up at him, the weapons on her belt and the dark aura of power surrounding her made it clear that Brelon only had one true option. He agreed to join her, wondering what the coming days would hold.

== Joining the Brotherhood ==

Rasilvenaira returned to Clan Scholae Palatinae with him and he began to take his first steps on a longer journey. Brelon started learning about the Force, his place in it, and most importantly, how to use it. His natural curiosity and insatiable talent for learning, combined with his willingness to focus and work hard for his goals provided a solid foundation. He steadily progressed and even managed to impress some of his instructors. Many other eyes watched his progress with eager curiosity from beyond the academy walls.

== Apprenticeship And Accomplishments ==

As Brelon continued to prove himself, Rasilvenaira’s interest in him grew and she offered him the rare opportunity of becoming one of her few apprentices. Under her harsh but thorough training he quickly excelled and advanced within the brotherhood. By the time he reached the age of thirty, he was deemed worthy to rise to knighthood. Proud of her student, Rasilvenaira gave him the final pieces he needed to create his own lightsaber which he would carry as the mark of power and his position.

== Current Day ==

Brelon Kinrolf continues to serve to this day in Clan Scholae Palatinae alongside his master, Rasilvenaira Stormraven as a Mystic.

== Youth ==

Tivran Velai was born to Araden and Nomari Velai in 18 ABY on the Nagai home world of Nagi. His parents were harsh, valuing their reputation and honor in military combat. His older brother Toran was the favored son who could do no wrong. Tivran on the other hand was smaller, slower to mature, and was considered the runt of the family. To earn any merit or praise from his family, young Tivran was forced to work twice as hard at everything he did. Every small victory was hard won and often only made them push him harder.

== Young Adulthood ==

By the age of ten, Tivran was pushing himself to study survival skills and various martial arts techniques to strengthen and hone his body. His mother, Nomari, was killed in combat with raiders when he was fourteen, after which his father, Araden, grew even more distant. Any interaction with his younger son was cold and harsh, driving him even harder to excel and make something of himself. By the time he was eighteen, his body finally got a decent growth spurt and his hard training had helped his once lanky figure fill out. Still he kept a leaner look than many of his peers including his own brother, Toran, who was much taller and heavier than Tivran.

== The Secret Search ==

Tivran had one thing he never dared to discuss with his family. It was a search that he had begun at the age of twelve deep in the archives where he first found the rumors and whispers of a distant relative with a fascinating reputation. Whenever he had time to devote to his studies, he was searching for details, any scrap of records that he could find and he began to compile them in an encrypted datapad. This distant relative intrigued him and puzzled him, and he wanted very much to unravel fact from fiction and track down what happened to the enigmatic Sanguis Caldiren.

== Discovering The Force ==

On one of his many survival training missions, Tivran was ambushed by raiders. Knowing that such rabble had been responsible for his mother’s death filled him with a deep hatred, but also cautious fear. He was outnumbered and outmatched, but he was determined that he would not die there. As he fought he began feeling a strange power filling him, and he was able to push the raider’s back. He even succeeded in killing four of them before they retreated. He took back proof of his deeds. Seeing that and the condition his son was in impressed Tivran’s father enough that he actually praised him for the first time since his mother’s death. After that, Tivran began to study and research what he had experienced, realizing after some time that it had been a connection with the Force that he had felt. Force sensitivity wasn’t unheard of in his family but had grown less frequent in more recent generations as more focused on physical combat, not mental or Force-aided combat. Thus he never really got any training to understand the Force beyond what he found in the records.

== Tragedy Strikes ==

While spending a few days engrossed in his studies of the archives, tragedy struck the Velai family hard. Out on a supposedly routine patrol, Araden and Toran were both killed along with the rest of their unit by raiders. Stricken with grief, despite the harshness he had endured from his father, he took some time off to deal with the loss. Then, having no further ties to bind him to Nagi, Tivran would pour himself fully into his study and search for more about the mysterious Sanguis. In the midst of his sorrow, he finally had a break in the search. He found records of Sanguis and a young lady named Elena eloping off world much to the anger of Elena’s family, and what he found pointed him toward Coruscant.

== Leaving Home ==

At the age of twenty, Tivran bid farewell to his home world. Leaving Nagi was bittersweet, having been the only home he had ever known, but it was also filled with so many painful memories. He looked forward to this new chapter of his life as he finally found the freedom to be himself, not what everyone else wanted or expected him to be. He followed what he had determined to be the most likely trail the shuttle would have taken. Being a smaller commercial ship, it would have a shorter range than the small freighter he had purchased for himself. Tivran carefully plotted out all the best stops along the route where Sanguis’ ship would have needed to stop to refuel. With that, and a trusty astromech droid, he began his first foray into the larger galaxy.

== First Big Break ==

Stopping at each location, he would begin spending some time researching local archives and scouring for any hint of the ship the other Nagai had been on. Finally, at one run-down space station, he found another really big break. There was actual proof that Sanguis had been there, but also evidence of a disaster that happened soon after. The accounts told of an attack by Sith raiders who badly damaged the station and led to the apparent capture of Sanguis, and Elena’s murder. Taking copies of every scrap and trace accounts of the events back to his ship, he started looking for clues that would lead him to his next step.

== Entering Dangerous Waters ==

After much time analyzing what he had recovered from the space station, one thing was certain. The Sith connection could not be ignored. And if they captured Sanguis, where would they have taken him? That was the next question that he had to answer if he was going to have any chance of solving this mystery that had engrossed him for so long. That meant he now had to branch out his research to include the Sith. And the more he read and learned, the more he realized things could be dangerous, despite the centuries that separated him and his relative. Sith were still known to appear in isolated places, along with those of similar mindsets. Going in search of such old ghosts tended to be far more complicated and he had moments where he contemplated giving up. But he couldn’t bring himself to so easily abandon a search he’d spent half his life on. So he decided to start with the most obvious first option, the Sith home world of Moraband.

== First Encounter With True Darkness ==

Once Tivran arrived at Moraband, he was hit by the overwhelming Force energy emanating from the planet, as if the very ground surrounding him was saturated in a powerful darkness. It was unlike anything he had ever felt. He shook it off with difficulty, focusing his mind on his search. He spent several days exploring before he finally found the hidden entrance to what appeared to be an academy or research center. Despite the constant push of the dark side against his mind wearing at his reserves, he pushed forward and began searching the building. On the third day after finding the academy, he found a treasure of information and the chamber where the captured Nagai must have been held. But he was also struck by a powerful wave of darkness that caused him to collapse. While unconscious, his mind was assaulted by long gone ghosts and spirits that lurked in the ancient hall.

The unconscious Nagai was subjected to a barrage of increasingly brutal dreamworlds where the dark spirits dredged up all of Tivran’s sufferings, his losses, his failures and weaknesses. He was hunted and attacked by vicious shadow beasts, taunted and tormented by ghostly whispers and laughter that drove him further into his agonizing nightmare. Then the whole world seemed to pitch on its side as his vision blurred and he found himself reeling from torrential waves of raging fury, blinding pain, heart-wrenching sorrow, and a tumultuous gamut of raw emotions. He could feel the burning bloodlust, the taste and scent of blood choked him.

Finally, Tivran jerked awake with a start, unconsciously wiping his mouth and coughing, expecting to still find blood there. He sat up, head throbbing and eyes glazed as he struggled to shake himself free of his nightmare and find some thread of reality to cling to. Thankfully, Tivran’s worried astromech droid had come to look for him, informing him that he had been out of contact for nearly four days.

== Profit From Pain ==

Tivran returned to his ship, still very shaken, but in possession of a pile of datapads, data crystals, books, and a couple of holocrons that he had been able to find within the academy before his nightmare ordeal. He stumbled onboard the ship and locked the ramp again as soon as he and his droid were both inside. He dropped his backpack in his quarters, then took a long shower, changed clothes, and fixed himself a meal.

He spent the next two weeks studying the data he had collected and even managed to learn to shield himself from the worst of the oppressive energy of the planet. The biggest treasure he had found, aside from the holocrons, was a half scrawled entry in a journal about Sanguis’ bloodlust and another datapad that mentioned that the Nagai turned Sith would also travel to Seraph on occasion once he had been ‘tamed’. Though he doubted any such thing were possible if what he’d seen had been Sanguis in his nightmares. The holocrons, once he learned how to open them, taught him far more of the basics of the Force and the Dark Side, along with some techniques that he knew he wasn’t ready for yet, but it put him on the path to use the Force, rather than just be subject to it. The information he gained also gave him the next stop on his long journey. Once he’d rested a bit more, he would set off for Seraph.

== Coming Face To Face With A Ghost ==

Tivan reached the planet of Seraph and started his search at the library and archive in one of the larger cities. There he found more concrete proof of his distant relative’s presence on the world, including one mention of a Republic strike against a conclave of Sith found on the planet. He tracked the coordinates of the attack to a remote area in the wilderness. Taking two more days in the city, he wanted to ensure that he had uncovered all that he could. Once he was ready, he made way to the coordinates that he had found. There he found the ruins of what appeared to be a large estate. The Republic attack had been devastating, but he pressed on, hoping to find something, anything that would further his search.

What he never could have expected was to run into the object of his search, literally and in the flesh. Somehow, Sanguis Caldiren was still alive, and clearly not happy to find a stranger in the remains of his estate.

== Under Attack ==

Sanguis attacked Tivran in anger, rapidly forcing the younger Nagai to scramble and defend himself. He shouted, trying to reason with the angry Sith, yelping in pain when he couldn’t dodge a blow. The two fought for several minutes until Sanguis finally accepted that the young intruder didn’t pose a serious threat and was unarmed aside from a worn vibrosword. Standing down, Sanguis narrowed his golden eyes at Tivran and demanded his name and intentions.

Tivran took several deep breaths and sheathed his sword. Introducing himself, he outlined his nearly lifelong search and desire to learn more, both about Sanguis himself and the Force.

== An Extended Invitation ==

Convinced that the younger Nagai did show promise and potential, Sanguis finally offered him the invitation to the Dark Brotherhood. There, Tivran would gain the opportunity to meet Sanguis’ family and begin the longer journey to train in the Force and grow in strength and power.

Currently he resides within Clan Scholae Palatinae and has achieved the rank of Warlord.

StormRaven: Added template

== Younger Days ==

Born on the planet of Coruscant in the year 12 ABY, the young Brelon Kinrolf was orphaned at the age of seven. He was passed around to a couple different distant family members but none really could keep up with the precocious youngster. So he ended up on the streets, following his endless curiosity. He was taken in by a group of other street rats and learned much of his early survival skills and the ability to pick pockets. Brelon was quite a skillful thief and quickly rose in prestige among the rag-tag group of urchins. However, as he grew older, he felt a deep restlessness begin to itch just below the surface of his mind.

== To The Stars ==

Unwilling to accept that this life on Coruscant was all the galaxy could offer him, Brelon turned his eyes skyward. As a teenager he often spent much of his time in and around the spaceports where he would gaze at ships, listen to travelers and dream. Finally, at the age of sixteen, Brelon gathered his few belongings and made his move. The adventurous teen stowed away on a space freighter that would leave Coruscant far behind. As he felt the vibrations of the shi

p and peeked out viewports, he finally truly felt free. The restlessness seemed to ease and he thought his life couldn’t get any better. But then the crew caught him when he came out to try to steal some food. They were a mostly human crew so took compassion on him and allowed him to stay as long as he promised to work to earn his keep. He joyfully agreed and thus began his first true step toward becoming himself.

== Adulthood ==

Brelon traveled the galaxy, moving on from the freighter he had first joined when he turned nineteen. They bid him well on Corellia and he sought out another ship on which to make a better living. He kept moving and skipping to different ships every couple of years, thriving on the vastness and variety of opportunities the galaxy presented to him. He was an avid learner and a hard worker, which kept him in good stead on every ship. Brelon enjoyed learning about ships, their maintenance, and of course when he was given the chance, how to fly them. By the time he was twenty-three, he was well regarded in the circles he often found himself in. He finally boarded a luxury liner as a co-pilot bound for the Smuggler’s Moon of Nar Shaddaa.

== Trouble On Nar Shaddaa ==

Right after the liner Brelon was co-piloting hit real space on the approach to Nar Shaddaa, trouble struck. The ship came under attack by pirates. Badly damaged, the ship crash landed on Nar Shaddaa. Brelon survived and did what he could to help other survivors escape the ship’s wreckage. Finding himself stranded and now down on his luck, the resilient young man fell back on what he had learned as a kid on Nar Shaddaa. Needing to get enough to get passage off the moon, he was willing to work hard and save. He wasn’t content to just skip off on any junk heap flying out. He had places he wanted to explore and the kinds of ships going there were going to be hard to get onboard without plenty of funding. While he still had some saved up from his years of working it, he wisely was not willing to squander it. He found a place to stay, had enough to eat, but then he started planning. He would steal what he could and add to his growing savings and hope the right ship and the right opportunity would show up for him. He trusted his luck, most of the time it hadn’t let him down, and it was his best instinct at the time.

One year passed by while Brelon stayed on Nar Shaddaa, but he felt that he was getting close to his goal. The restlessness was back prickling at his skin and mind, urging him to move on. His normally stellar luck was struck the second blow of his lifetime when he chose the wrong pocket to try to pick one day. A hand with a vice-like grip caught him before he could move away and he found himself staring into the dark, nearly black eyes of a woman considerably shorter than himself. However, those eyes held a sense of power and authority that told him that she was not one to be trifled with. She introduced herself in a cold but calm tone and held her other hand out to retrieve what he had taken. Rasilvenaira Stormraven, a Sith Warlord on a business trip, seemed almost amused and let go of him but bid him to stay and talk instead of running. Rasilvenaira told him that she sensed a great deal of potential and untapped power within him and offered him the dubious choice of joining her and to return with her to her home system, or to die for trying to steal from her. As she pulled back her cloak and stared up at him, the weapons on her belt and the dark aura of power surrounding her made it clear that Brelon only had one true option. He agreed to join her, wondering what the coming days would hold.

Brelon started learning about the Force, his place in it, and most importantly, how to use it. His natural curiosity and insatiable talent for learning, combined with his willingness to focus and work hard for his goals provided a solid foundation. He steadily progressed and even managed to impress some of his instructors. Many other eyes watched his progress with eager curiosity from beyond the academy walls.

== Apprenticeship And Accomplishments ==

As Brelon continued to prove himself, Rasilvenaira’s interest in him grew and she offered him the rare opportunity of becoming one of her few apprentices. Under her harsh but thorough training he quickly excelled and advanced within the brotherhood. By the time he reached the age of thirty, he was deemed worthy to rise to knighthood.

Stopping at each location, he would begin spending some time researching local archives and scouring for any hint of the ship the other Nagai had been on. Finally, at one run-down space station, he found another really big break. There was actual proof that Sanguis had been there, but also evidence of a disaster that happened soon after. The accounts told of an attack by Sith raiders who badly damaged the station and led to the apparent capture of Sanguis, and Elena’s murder. Taking copies of every scrap and trace accounts of the events back to his ship, he started looking for clues that would lead him to his next step.

== Entering Dangerous Waters ==

After much time analyzing what he had recovered from the space station, one thing was certain. The Sith connection could not be ignored. And if they captured Sanguis, where would they have taken him? That was the next question that he had to answer if he was going to have any chance of solving this mystery that had engrossed him for so long. That meant he now had to branch out his research to include the Sith. And the more he read and learned, the more he realized things could be dangerous, despite the centuries that separated him and his relative. Sith were still known to appear in isolated places, along with those of similar mindsets. Going in search of such old ghosts tended to be far more complicated and he had moments where he contemplated giving up. But he couldn’t bring himself to so easily abandon a search he’d spent half his life on. So he decided to start with the most obvious first option, the Sith home world of Moraband.

== First Encounter With True Darkness ==

Once Tivran arrived at Moraband, he was hit by the overwhelming Force energy emanating from the planet, as if the very ground surrounding him was saturated in a powerful darkness. It was unlike anything he had ever felt. He shook it off with difficulty, focusing his mind on his search. He spent several days exploring before he finally found the hidden entrance to what appeared to be an academy or research center. Despite the constant push of the dark side against his mind wearing at his reserves, he pushed forward and began searching the building. On the third day after finding the academy, he found a treasure of information and the chamber where the captured Nagai must have been held. But he was also struck by a powerful wave of darkness that caused him to collapse. While unconscious, his mind was assaulted by long gone ghosts and spirits that lurked in the ancient hall.

The unconscious Nagai was subjected to a barrage of increasingly brutal dreamworlds where the dark spirits dredged up all of Tivran’s sufferings, his losses, his failures and weaknesses. He was hunted and attacked by vicious shadow beasts, taunted and tormented by ghostly whispers and laughter that drove him further into his agonizing nightmare. Then the whole world seemed to pitch on its side as his vision blurred and he found himself reeling from torrential waves of raging fury, blinding pain, heart-wrenching sorrow, and a tumultuous gamut of raw emotions. He could feel the burning bloodlust, the taste and scent of blood choked him.

Finally, Tivran jerked awake with a start, unconsciously wiping his mouth and coughing, expecting to still find blood there. He sat up, head throbbing and eyes glazed as he struggled to shake himself free of his nightmare and find some thread of reality to cling to. Thankfully, Tivran’s worried astromech droid had come to look for him, informing him that he had been out of contact for nearly four days.

== Profit From Pain ==

Tivran returned to his ship, still very shaken, but in possession of a pile of datapads, data crystals, books, and a couple of holocrons that he had been able to find within the academy before his nightmare ordeal. He stumbled onboard the ship and locked the ramp again as soon as he and his droid were both inside. He dropped his backpack in his quarters, then took a long shower, changed clothes, and fixed himself a meal.

He spent the next two weeks studying the data he had collected and even managed to learn to shield himself from the worst of the oppressive energy of the planet. The biggest treasure he had found, aside from the holocrons, was a half scrawled entry in a journal about Sanguis’ bloodlust and another datapad that mentioned that the Nagai turned Sith would also travel to Seraph on occasion once he had been ‘tamed’. Though he doubted any such thing were possible if what he’d seen had been Sanguis in his nightmares. The holocrons, once he learned how to open them, taught him far more of the basics of the Force and the Dark Side, along with some techniques that he knew he wasn’t ready for yet, but it put him on the path to use the Force, rather than just be subject to it. The information he gained also gave him the next stop on his long journey. Once he’d rested a bit more, he would set off for Seraph.

== Coming Face To Face With A Ghost ==

Tivan reached the planet of Seraph and started his search at the library and archive in one of the larger cities. There he found more concrete proof of his distant relative’s presence on the world, including one mention of a Republic strike against a conclave of Sith found on the planet. He tracked the coordinates of the attack to a remote area in the wilderness. Taking two more days in the city, he wanted to ensure that he had uncovered all that he could. Once he was ready, he made way to the coordinates that he had found. There he found the ruins of what appeared to be a large estate. The Republic attack had been devastating, but he pressed on, hoping to find something, anything that would further his search.

What he never could have expected was to run into the object of his search, literally and in the flesh. Somehow, Sanguis Caldiren was still alive, and clearly not happy to find a stranger in the remains of his estate.

== Under Attack ==

Sanguis attacked Tivran in anger, rapidly forcing the younger Nagai to scramble and defend himself. He shouted, trying to reason with the angry Sith, yelping in pain when he couldn’t dodge a blow. The two fought for several minutes until Sanguis finally accepted that the young intruder didn’t pose a serious threat and was unarmed aside from a worn vibrosword. Standing down, Sanguis narrowed his golden eyes at Tivran and demanded his name and intentions.

Tivran took several deep breaths and sheathed his sword. Introducing himself, he outlined his nearly lifelong search and desire to learn more, both about Sanguis himself and the Force.

== An Extended Invitation ==

Convinced that the younger Nagai did show promise and potential, Sanguis finally offered him the invitation to the Dark Brotherhood. There, Tivran would gain the opportunity to meet Sanguis’ family and begin the longer journey to train in the Force and grow in strength and power.

Currently he resides within Clan Scholae Palatinae and has achieved the rank of Warlord.

House Caliburnus|sheet=https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/character_sheets/23338}}

== Youth ==

Tivran Velai was born to Araden and Nomari Velai in 18 ABY on the Nagai home world of Nagi. His parents were harsh, valuing their reputation and honor in military combat. His older brother Toran was the favored son who could do no wrong. Tivran on the other hand was smaller, slower to mature, and was considered the runt of the family. To earn any merit or praise from his family, young Tivran was forced to work twice as hard at everything he did. Every small victory was hard won and often only made them push him harder.

== Young Adulthood ==

By the age of ten, Tivran was pushing himself to study survival skills and various martial arts techniques to strengthen and hone his body. His mother, Nomari, was killed in combat with raiders when he was fourteen, after which his father, Araden, grew even more distant. Any interaction with his younger son was cold and harsh, driving him even harder to excel and make something of himself. By the time he was eighteen, his body finally got a decent growth spurt and his hard training had helped his once lanky figure fill out. Still he kept a leaner look than many of his peers including his own brother, Toran, who was much taller and heavier than Tivran.

== The Secret Search ==

Tivran had one thing he never dared to discuss with his family. It was a search that he had begun at the age of twelve deep in the archives where he first found the rumors and whispers of a distant relative with a fascinating reputation. Whenever he had time to devote to his studies, he was searching for details, any scrap of records that he could find and he began to compile them in an encrypted datapad. This distant relative intrigued him and puzzled him, and he wanted very much to unravel fact from fiction and track down what happened to the enigmatic Sanguis Caldiren.

== Discovering The Force ==

On one of his many survival training missions, Tivran was ambushed by raiders. Knowing that such rabble had been responsible for his mother’s death filled him with a deep hatred, but also cautious fear. He was outnumbered and outmatched, but he was determined that he would not die there. As he fought he began feeling a strange power filling him, and he was able to push the raider’s back. He even succeeded in killing four of them before they retreated. He took back proof of his deeds. Seeing that and the condition his son was in impressed Tivran’s father enough that he actually praised him for the first time since his mother’s death. After that, Tivran began to study and research what he had experienced, realizing after some time that it had been a connection with the Force that he had felt. Force sensitivity wasn’t unheard of in his family but had grown less frequent in more recent generations as more focused on physical combat, not mental or Force-aided combat. Thus he never really got any training to understand the Force beyond what he found in the records.

== Tragedy Strikes ==

While spending a few days engrossed in his studies of the archives, tragedy struck the Velai family hard. Out on a supposedly routine patrol, Araden and Toran were both killed along with the rest of their unit by raiders. Stricken with grief, despite the harshness he had endured from his father, he took some time off to deal with the loss. Then, having no further ties to bind him to Nagi, Tivran would pour himself fully into his study and search for more about the mysterious Sanguis. In the midst of his sorrow, he finally had a break in the search. He found records of Sanguis and a young lady named Elena eloping off world much to the anger of Elena’s family, and what he found pointed him toward Coruscant.

== Leaving Home ==

At the age of twenty, Tivran bid farewell to his home world. Leaving Nagi was bittersweet, having been the only home he had ever known, but it was also filled with so many painful memories. He looked forward to this new chapter of his life as he finally found the freedom to be himself, not what everyone else wanted or expected him to be. He followed what he had determined to be the most likely trail the shuttle would have taken. Being a smaller commercial ship, it would have a shorter range than the small freighter he had purchased for himself. Tivran carefully plotted out all the best stops along the route where Sanguis’ ship would have needed to stop to refuel. With that, and a trusty astromech droid, he began his first foray into the larger galaxy.

== First Big Break ==

Stopping at each location, he would begin spending some time researching local archives and scouring for any hint of the ship the other Nagai had been on.

Sith Batttlelord Rasilvenaira StormRaven is a member of Clan Scholae Palatinae. She has served in a number of positions within her Clan, including Clan Envoy, Battleteam Leader, Aedile, and Quaestor. She is currently the Sith Commander of the Blades of Chaos, and is also serving as a Trainer in the ACC.

== Character History ==

=== Birth of an Outcast ===
10 BBY

Along the northern plains of Ord Mantell, far distant from any cities, a group of Humans had settled around 425 BBY. This group of Humans isolated themselves as much as possible and over time began to display a genetic uniformity among the people. The Keraci people became a race unto themselves, of medium build with blonde or pale colored hair and typically blue or green eyes. They were also a people without the force, living their lives based on superstitions and abiding by the laws laid down by the village’s High Priest.

In 10 BBY the High Priest was called on to attend the Shalphera, or highest ranking female, of the village for the birth of her latest child. Many of the village elders and minor priests were concerned; the omens were boding ill for the birth, since the village was being subjected to an unusually fierce period of storms that threatened the crops.

When the child was born, those fears and superstitions were compounded. Inspecting the child, a girl, the High Priest was faced with the shock of seeing dark brown hair and piercing dark eyes as the child looked up at him. Given her mother’s ranking as Shalphera, the laws of the village forbade killing the infant, but because of the inexplicable differences in her appearance, she was branded as an outcast.

Her mother gave her the name of Kaishera, meaning Shadowed Star, however the rest of the family and village began calling the girl Rasilvenaira, meaning Silver Raven. The name was meant in cruel jest because with her dark hair and even darker eyes, there was nothing silver about her, though she did seem to have a strong affinity for the bird she was named after.

As the young girl grew, her place as outcast was constantly made painfully clear to her. Frequently subjected to beatings, and verbal abuse, Rasilvenaira lived her life on the edge. The Keraci were her people, but their world seemed to have no place for her, even though it was the world to which she was born. Considered worthless, even below slaves in value, she often went with out meals, and was worked hard, given the chores none of her siblings wished to do. By the age of five, Rasilvenaira was beginning to display latent abilities which earned her even more scorn and displeasure from the Keraci people who viewed those abilities as unnatural and evil.

Rasilvenaira vowed to herself that somehow, she would survive, and despite the efforts of her kin to the contrary, she managed to do just that. But the seeds of hatred and anger were sowed deeply in her soul, and in time, those seeds would take hold and blossom.

=== Rise of the StormRaven ===
6 ABY

One evening after a particularly brutal beating came close to killing her; Rasilvenaira realized that it was only a matter of time before her kin succeeded in ending her life. As soon as she was able to recover enough from the beating, Rasilvenaira gathered up the few possessions she was allowed, as well as a few she managed to steal. Biding her time until the dark of night, Rasilvenaira slipped out of the Keraci village, taking one of the villages riding animals, or Rok’shall, for its extra speed.

Rasilvenaira drifted alone except for the Rok’shall she rode for nearly two weeks. She had no idea where she would go, but there was no going back, she would find her own way or die trying. Eventually her path crossed that of a Trader’s caravan, and she spent a couple of days with them. During her stay with them, her Rok’shall helped earn her a nice purse full of credits, and she was able to buy a few supplies from the traders, including a simple set of throwing knives. They also helped her gain a sense of direction, showing her maps of where they were and where the nearest city, Trader’s Quarter, was.

After parting ways with the caravan, Rasilvenaira made her way toward Trader’s Quarter. When she finally arrived, the city was quite a shock to her after the isolated, rural world of the Keraci. Immediately she found herself at a great disadvantage, knowing only very little Basic. Rasilvenaira managed to find a merchant on the outskirts of the city who purchased her Rok’shall though she was sure he’d cheated her in the deal. She had no plans of ever going back to the Keraci village, so the credits she earned from the beast would serve her better than it would.

Her first day in the city soon turned rather miserable as it started raining. Lost, alone, and getting scared as she was jostled and bumped and pushed aside by the people passing her by, Rasilvenaira had no idea where to go to for shelter against the weather. Finally she just huddled against the wall of a building and sank to the ground, worn out from her journey.

Rasilvenaira was beginning to resign herself to spending a restless night in the rain when she saw a strange looking Humanoid approaching her. She was too tired to fight and something about his easy going manner kept her from running. Despite her inability to understand the Basic language, she managed to catch the meanings of his words as he offered her the one thing she wanted most at that moment, a dry, safe place to rest, and the possibility of food as well. She agreed to follow him, and along the way he introduced himself as [[Phutari]].

Phutari was middle aged Dressellian who owned a well established cantina in the area, and he took Rasilvenaira in, giving her a room above his cantina, he also offered her a job in helping out around the cantina. The first few weeks were mostly spent by him teaching her various things. He taught her Basic, adding on to the little she knew, until she finally had a solid grasp on the language. Phutari also taught her about the various races and species as they came through his cantina, as well as teaching her about the city itself.

While she was never really able to understand why she trusted him so easily, there was just something in Phutari’s warm amber eyes that made her feel safe. As the months passed, they developed a close relationship, Phutari looking after her almost as if she were his own daughter. It was also Phutari who first gave her the name of StormRaven. He always called her ‘little Raven’ since he found that easier than her full name, but he coined the name StormRaven for her because of her stormy and unpredictable temper, combined with her incredible ability of stealth. As he told her, "You move like a shadow, yet strike like a storm. Storm Raven, that's what you are." From that day on she took the name StormRaven as her own.

=== Flight of the Raven ===
7-10 ABY

Phutari used his many connections to help Rasilvenaira as much as he could in various ways. One of those occasions was him arranging for her to learn to pilot ships. She was a fast learner and soon progressed to being able to manage even a mid sized freighter on her own. Her favorite teacher was another Dressellian by the name of Tsudaly who taught her how to pilot his YT-2400 called the NyghtFyre. Rasilvenaira was also particularly fond of the two droids he kept on the ship; a protocol droid called [[Verlassen]], and a spunky astromech droid, [[R5-K7]] simply known as R5.

Rasilvenaira also began to find her own place in the scheme of things in the city. When she wasn’t spending her time working in Phutari’s cantina, Rasilvenaira gained a reputation as a talented thief. Eventually she also became an assassin, with her ability to seemingly disappear into the shadows it was an occupation she was well suited to. Phutari knew of her activities, but he never openly disapproved of them, as long as she didn’t practice her trade within the cantina.

When Rasilvenaira was twenty, Phutari gave her a special gift. She had been planning on leaving Ord Mantell when she had the credits saved up enough to get her own ship. Rasilvenaira was presented with one of the ships she had first learned to pilot, one which was very special to her. Tsudaly found himself in debt from gambling and in return for Phutari’s help in getting out of that debt; he gave Phutari the NyghtFyre as well as the two droids that served as its crew. Phutari had no real need for the ship, so offered it to Rasilvenaira as a gift. Soon after getting the NyghtFyre, Rasilvenaira left Ord Mantell and set out to explore the galaxy and to make a name for herself.

=== The End of an Era ===
11 ABY

[[File:Stormravencrest.jpg|thumb|180px|right|StormRaven's Crest]]
Rasilvenaira started out working various merchant networks building a solid base of contacts with initial help from Phutari who put her in touch with some of his contacts. She also quickly became familiar with the added profit to be had in smuggling as well as occasional jobs as an assassin that presented themselves. The NyghtFyre served well for smuggling with the extra cargo space that Tsudaly had built into the vessel, and the additional sensor jamming systems that she had installed into the ship made it that much harder to catch.

However, despite her rapid successes and growing reputation, a deep rooted restlessness plagued her. Nightmares that had been infrequent while she was around Phutari’s calming presence became almost constant in the solitude of her ship in deep space. StormRaven stayed on the edge, pushing herself to the limits of her endurance in not sleeping; she sank herself into her work knowing that if she didn’t sleep, she wouldn’t dream and the nightmares would be kept at bay. Over time it gradually began to wear on her, the nightmares drifted into her thoughts even when she was awake, memories she tried to forget kept haunting her. Unable to escape them, she was pushed close to the edge of madness, driven by those nightmares until she wanted nothing else but to end them once and for all.

One year after leaving Ord Mantell, Rasilvenaira finally gave into the growing thirst for vengeance, the need to destroy that which kept haunting her thoughts. She returned to Ord Mantell, setting a course for the Keraci village, navigating mostly by remembered landmarks from her flight away from the village five years previous.

Landing the ship near the village caused quite a stir from the superstitious and isolated Keraci. Rasilvenaira left the ship, walking the last distance to the edge of the village, wanting to make sure that they knew who it was that would bring about their demise. She wanted them to know what their actions had earned them.

Many did recognize her, and many began to flee the village, but one man who did not recognize her asked, “Who are you?”

To which, Rasilvenaira replied, "Who am I? I am that which even nightmares fear, I am death, I am vengeance, I am sorrow. I am the StormRaven."

Following her orders, Verlassen, aboard the NyghtFyre, opened fire on the village with the full extent of the ship's weaponry, quickly leveling it to smoldering rubble. Those Keraci who hadn’t run when they had the chance were killed in the destruction. The way of life, all that the Keraci had been for over four hundred years came to an end in that firestorm.

Rasilvenaira stood silently watching the remains of the village burn for several minutes, then turned away and returned to her ship. Resigning her past to the ashes of destruction, she vowed never to look back, and focused her attention on the future.

=== The Hunter and the Hunted ===
{{Quote|I'll just kill things, it's what I do best.|Rasilvenaira}}

12-16 ABY

Rasilvenaira became involved in a group of smugglers and pirates who operated in the Seswenna Sector, using legitimate business offices on Eriadu to front their activities. Eriadu’s location on the Hydian Way made it easy for the group to prey on the merchant traffic in route to and from the core worlds. The group was a loose association of pirates and smugglers that formed a tentative cooperation led by two brothers, Korish and Balishan.

It was during her association with the group that Rasilvenaira’s reputation truly exploded. Her skill and tenacity in hunting merchant ships and managing to evade the authorities despite the increasing bounties on her head earned her a measure of notoriety. She established herself as a force to be reckoned with, and did little to dispute the common opinion of her being cold and ruthless.

Not only did she become more deeply involved in pirating and smuggling operations, she also continued her occupation as a successful assassin. Rasilvenaira made the acquaintance of a Bothan pirate and gambler by the name of Vurryn Rkalin as the two crossed paths frequently on smuggling runs. When Vurryn finally ran into a gambling debt he couldn’t pay, Rasilvenaira helped him out, and in return he gave her his R41-StarChaser which she named the ''Kanashimu''. Rasilvenaira had several major modifications made on the fighter, as well as some cosmetic alterations including the addition of her personal crest as wing markings.

In 15 ABY Rasilvenaira had a particularly close call with a Trandoshan bounty hunter that she ran into on Tatooine. She managed to evade the bounty hunter and left Tatooine, but the stubborn reptilian wasn’t willing to give up his prey so easily. The Trandoshan caught up to the NyghtFyre in space and Rasilvenaira was forced to either try to out fight the more agile starfighter or escape into hyperspace. Rasilvenaira opted to jump to hyperspace, but half way to her intended destination, the ship dropped out of hyperspace as the hyperdrive failed.

After spending several minutes determining where the ship had ended up, Rasilvenaira then consulted the nav-computer and her astromech droid, R5 to find the nearest system that would be able to handle the necessary repairs for her ship. Fortunately the Saki system was close enough for the NyghtFyre to make the journey without needing a hyperdrive. She wasn’t sure how the Sakiyans would react to her showing up with a ship in need of repair, but had no other choice.

The Sakiyans weren’t happy about Rasilvenaira showing up, but were willing to negotiate a deal for their services in repairing her ship. The NyghtFyre had sustained more damage than Rasilvenaira had first believed in the fight with the Trandoshan, and the repairs would amount to nearly a full refit of the hyperdrive system and a few other minor things. During the time her ship was being worked on, Rasilvenaira was granted the privilege of staying on the planet and quickly found herself intrigued by the Sakiyan culture. They were renowned as bounty hunters and assassins with incredible natural senses. She integrated herself into their society, learning from them, and training with them and ended up spending a year on Sakiya. During that year, Rasilvenaira’s own senses developed to a level far beyond the normal range for a Human, which made her even more dangerous as an assassin.

After spending the year with the Sakiyans, Rasilvenaira finally took her leave of their planet and returned to her occupation as assassin and smuggler with a renewed energy.

=== Embracing the Darkness ===
19 ABY

Rasilvenaira’s latent force abilities continued to grow and develop even though at the time she didn’t really understand the importance of them. This changed during a trip to Tatooine. Rasilvenaira was killing time in one of the local cantinas while a client’s cargo was to be unloaded from the NyghtFyre and transferred to his ship. Out of boredom and curiosity to see if she could still practice the art of pick pocketing, she scanned the busy cantina looking for a potential target.

Finally she spotted an older man who seemed to be dozing at a table in the far corner of the room. Casually she moved around the crowded room and made to walk past him, his purse full of credits in plain view, seemingly a very easy target. As Rasilvenaira made her move, she gasped in shock as his vice like grip caught her wrist. At his bidding she sat down across from him to avoid drawing any further unwanted attention.

Rasilvenaira questioned how he was able to catch her, and he explained that while she had talents, her untrained abilities were no match against someone trained in the force. She questioned him further and he explained what the force was in very basic terms and told her of a place where others like her were trained and taught how to use their abilities. After he left her sitting at the table, she thought over his words and decided to seek out the “Brotherhood” he had mentioned.

Rasilvenaira returned to her ship, and set a course for Corellia, having some unfinished business to attend to first. After that was concluded, she intended to find the Antei system the old warrior had told her about. The trip to Corellia went smoothly, she finished what she’d needed to and was looking forward to finding out more about the Antei system. What Rasilvenaira didn’t realize at the time was that she had been set up to run straight into a trap. The dark Jedi who’d told her of Antei had actually been working for the same Neimoidian that she had just done a job for, and a message had been sent to the Dark Brotherhood, telling them of an assassin on the way to kill their Grand Master.

When Rasilvenaira’s ship neared the Brotherhood’s system, she was attacked by two capital ships. Trapped between a Strike Cruiser and a Victory-class Star Destroyer, she was unable to escape and her ship was captured by the Star Destroyer, the VSD Excidium. Taken into custody aboard the Excidium, Rasilvenaira was subjected to several long and rather painful interrogations about her reasons for being near Antei.

It was during those interrogations that her latent and untrained force abilities flared and her captors decided that she would be held and taken to Antei. Once they reached Antei, Rasilvenaira was presented to the Grand Master, Jac Cotelin, who would ultimately decide her fate. After he questioned her, it was determined that Rasilvenaira indeed was innocent of the charge of intending to attempt assassination of the Grand Master.

Rasilvenaira was then given the option to stay and learn to use her abilities as part of the Brotherhood, which she readily accepted.

=== Finding a New Home ===
19-25 ABY

After her initial training was completed, Rasilvenaira was sent to the Cocytus system, home to [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]], and settled on the planet [[Antenora]] which was home to [[Acclivis Draco]]. Rasilvenaira continued her studies of the force and the dark side, her insatiable quest for knowledge allowing her to move through the ranks quickly. She gradually earned the trust and respect of the Clan leadership. Rasilvenaira as appointed to the position of Clan Envoy, and it was a position to which she applied herself well.

For the first time in her life, Rasilvenaira found herself as a part of something greater, and while she had her own ambitions, she felt a pride and loyalty growing in her heart that she’d never known before. Her drive and ambition pushed her forward, but now she considered others before herself, a feeling that was new to her, but one she accepted readily. The sense of belonging, the knowledge of now being responsible for others made her efforts worthwhile.

Rasilvenaira was however, outspoken and bold, when she believed she was right on a course of action, there was little that could sway her from it. This caused some measure of tension between the StormRaven and some older, established members of the Clan. Many expected her fire to burn itself out, as others before her had, but instead, she kept going.

As time passed, her loyalty and love for her House and Clan only continued to strengthen and grow. Rasilvenaira gained the position of Sith Commander of the squadron [[Draco Conspicari]] and led the team through the Aranna and Selen Incidents. She also led Draco Conspicari through part of the Sixth Great Jedi War.

It was during the War that the leadership of Acclivis Draco changed, under the direction of the Clan Summit. [[Braecen Kunar]] became the Quaestor, and Rasilvenaira was appointed as the Aedile of Acclivis Draco. As she always did, Rasilvenaira poured her energy and efforts into her position, fueled by an intense desire to see her House thrive. Many criticized the decision to grant her the position; others questioned her motives and ambitions. Rasilvenaira refused to dwell on the futile attempts of others to discourage her; instead, she focused her efforts on proving her abilities.

=== A Bitter Conflict ===
25-26 ABY

In late 25 ABY, an open conflict erupted between Acclivis Draco and its sister house, Caliburnus. While Rasilvenaira was no stranger to warfare, the idea of fighting members of her own Clan bothered her. Scholae Palatinae had become family to her, and she was torn between loyalties to the Clan as a whole as the Clan’s Envoy, and the loyalties to the House she was sworn to protect as Aedile.

Tensions began building between Rasilvenaira and the Quaestor, [[RevengeX Palpatine]], as the Sith grew increasingly frustrated in the ways in which RevengeX was handling the conflict. Finally frustrated beyond the point of caring about chain of command, Rasilvenaira took matters into her own hands.

Acting against the Quaestor’s orders, she, along with the members of Draco Conspicari, led now by Adam Anderson, conducted maneuvers in an effort to bring the conflict between the Houses to an end. RevengeX was furious about the blatant disobedience and labeled his Aedile as a traitor. Attempts were made to arrest Rasilvenaira, but she managed to evade them.

When Caliburnus attacked Antenora, RevengeX was forced to turn his attentions to defending his House, but promised himself that Rasilvenaira would be punished for her actions. Rasilvenaira and the members of Draco Conspicari continued to act independently, and flanked the attacking forces of Caliburnus. It wasn’t until after the final battle was over and finished that RevengeX realized that Rasilvenaira had in fact been acting in the House’s best interest.

While he was still unhappy about her public defiance and disobedience, the Quaestor rescinded his accusations of treason. However, the entire event left the working relationship between Rasilvenaira and RevengeX strained and still tense.

=== The Winds of Change ===
26 ABY

With the conclusion of the conflict between Houses Acclivis Draco and Caliburnus, the Clan Summit initiated some changes to the leadership of Caliburnus. [[Thran Occasus]] became the new Quaestor of [[Caliburnus]] following the resignation of Impetus. Thran made the request for Rasilvenaira to become his Aedile.

Presented with the choice, Rasilvenaira accepted the new position. While she regretted leaving Acclivis Draco which had been her home for so long, Rasilvenaira was looking forward to once again working with Thran. The two had developed a close friendship during his stay in Acclivis Draco and she was confident that working with him again would be a pleasant change.

Upon moving to [[Ptolomea]] and becoming the Aedile of Caliburnus, Rasilvenaira quickly settled in, and began focusing her attention and efforts on helping her new House thrive. Under the combined leadership of Thran Occasus and Rasilvenaira, Caliburnus rapidly blossomed into a strong and well organized House.

=== Endings ===
{{Quote|The only two certainties I've seen in this galaxy are death and change. No matter how well you plan things, sometimes it doesn't work out.|Rasilvenaira}}

Rasilvenaira made the final decision to leave Clan Scholae Palatinae on what would be the eve of the Ninth Great Jedi War. Leaving behind all that she had ever truly cared for, for reasons known only to her, the Sith resigned from the Clan and was marked as a rogue. All contact with Stormraven was lost.

However, several months after her disappearance, reports indicate that the remains of her ship, Raven's Fury were found. The location was never made public, and there are no records indicating any trace of the Sith. She had officially been declared dead, presumably killed when her ship was destroyed.

Recently, Rasilvenaira returned to Clan space, revealing that she was in fact still very much alive, despite evidence to the contrary.

Sith Batttlelord Rasilvenaira Kaeth StormRaven is probably best remembered as a former member of the Clan Scholae Palatinae where she served as Aedile and eventually as Quaestor of the House Caliburnus. Those who crossed paths with Rasilvenaira will either remember her fondly as a fierce warrior for her Clan, or with hatred for a deadly enemy.

== Character History ==

=== Birth of an Outcast ===
10 BBY

Along the northern plains of Ord Mantell, far distant from any cities, a group of humans had settled around 425 BBY. This group of humans isolated themselves as much as possible and over time began to display a genetic uniformity among the people. The [[Keraci]] people became a race unto themselves, of medium build with blonde or pale colored hair and typically blue or green eyes. They were also a people without the force, living their lives based on superstitions and abiding by the laws laid down by the village’s High Priest.

In 10 BBY the High Priest was called on to attend the Shalphera, or highest ranking female, of the village for the birth of her latest child. Many of the village elders and minor priests were concerned; the omens were boding ill for the birth, since the village was being subjected to an unusually fierce period of storms that threatened the crops.

When the child was born, those fears and superstitions were compounded. Inspecting the child, a girl, the High Priest was faced with the shock of seeing dark brown hair and piercing dark eyes as the child looked up at him. Given her mother’s ranking as Shalphera, the laws of the village forbade killing the infant, but because of the inexplicable differences in her appearance, she was branded as an outcast.

Her mother gave her the name of Kaishera, meaning Shadowed Star, however the rest of the family and village began calling the girl Rasilvenaira, meaning Silver Raven. The name was meant in cruel jest because with her dark hair and even darker eyes, there was nothing silver about her, though she did seem to have a strong affinity for the bird she was named after.

As the young girl grew, her place as outcast was constantly made painfully clear to her. Frequently subjected to beatings, and verbal abuse, Rasilvenaira lived her life on the edge. The Keraci were her people, but their world seemed to have no place for her, even though it was the world to which she was born. Considered worthless, even below slaves in value, she often went with out meals, and was worked hard, given the chores none of her siblings wished to do. By the age of five, Rasilvenaira was beginning to display latent abilities which earned her even more scorn and displeasure from the Keraci people who viewed those abilities as unnatural and evil.

Rasilvenaira vowed to herself that somehow, she would survive, and despite the efforts of her kin to the contrary, she managed to do just that. But the seeds of hatred and anger were sowed deeply in her soul, and in time, those seeds would take hold and blossom.

=== Rise of the StormRaven ===
6 ABY

One evening after a particularly brutal beating came close to killing her; Rasilvenaira realized that it was only a matter of time before her kin succeeded in ending her life. As soon as she was able to recover enough from the beating, Rasilvenaira gathered up the few possessions she was allowed, as well as a few she managed to steal. Biding her time until the dark of night, Rasilvenaira slipped out of the Keraci village, taking one of the villages riding animals, or Rok’shall, for its extra speed.

Rasilvenaira drifted alone except for the Rok’shall she rode for nearly two weeks. She had no idea where she would go, but there was no going back, she would find her own way or die trying. Eventually her path crossed that of a Trader’s caravan, and she spent a couple of days with them. During her stay with them, her Rok’shall helped earn her a nice purse full of credits, and she was able to buy a few supplies from the traders, including a simple set of throwing knives. They also helped her gain a sense of direction, showing her maps of where they were and where the nearest city, Trader’s Quarter, was.

After parting ways with the caravan, Rasilvenaira made her way toward Trader’s Quarter. When she finally arrived, the city was quite a shock to her after the isolated, rural world of the Keraci. Immediately she found herself at a great disadvantage, knowing only very little Basic. Rasilvenaira managed to find a merchant on the outskirts of the city who purchased her Rok’shall though she was sure he’d cheated her in the deal. She had no plans of ever going back to the Keraci village, so the credits she earned from the beast would serve her better than it would.

Her first day in the city soon turned rather miserable as it started raining. Lost, alone, and getting scared as she was jostled and bumped and pushed aside by the people passing her by, Rasilvenaira had no idea where to go to for shelter against the weather. Finally she just huddled against the wall of a building and sank to the ground, worn out from her journey.

Rasilvenaira was beginning to resign herself to spending a restless night in the rain when she saw a strange looking humanoid approaching her. She was too tired to fight and something about his easy going manner kept her from running. Despite her inability to understand the Basic language, she managed to catch the meanings of his words as he offered her the one thing she wanted most at that moment, a dry, safe place to rest, and the possibility of food as well. She agreed to follow him, and along the way he introduced himself as [[Phutari]].

Phutari was middle aged Dressellian who owned a well established cantina in the area, and he took Rasilvenaira in, giving her a room above his cantina, he also offered her a job in helping out around the cantina. The first few weeks were mostly spent by him teaching her various things. He taught her Basic, adding on to the little she knew, until she finally had a solid grasp on the language. Phutari also taught her about the various races and species as they came through his cantina, as well as teaching her about the city itself.

While she was never really able to understand why she trusted him so easily, there was just something in Phutari’s warm amber eyes that made her feel safe. As the months passed, they developed a close relationship, Phutari looking after her almost as if she were his own daughter. It was also Phutari who first gave her the name of StormRaven. He always called her ‘little Raven’ since he found that easier than her full name, but he coined the name StormRaven for her because of her stormy and unpredictable temper, combined with her incredible ability of stealth. As he told her, "You move like a shadow, yet strike like a storm. Storm Raven, that's what you are." From that day on she took the name StormRaven as her own.

=== Flight of the Raven ===
7-10 ABY

Phutari used his many connections to help Rasilvenaira as much as he could in various ways. One of those occasions was him arranging for her to learn to pilot ships. She was a fast learner and soon progressed to being able to manage even a mid sized freighter on her own. Her favorite teacher was another Dressellian by the name of Tsudaly who taught her how to pilot his YT-2400 called the NyghtFyre. Rasilvenaira was also particularly fond of the two droids he kept on the ship; a protocol droid called [[Verlassen]], and a spunky astromech droid, [[R5-K7]] simply known as R5.

Rasilvenaira also began to find her own place in the scheme of things in the city. When she wasn’t spending her time working in Phutari’s cantina, Rasilvenaira gained a reputation as a talented thief. Eventually she also became an assassin, with her ability to seemingly disappear into the shadows it was an occupation she was well suited to. Phutari knew of her activities, but he never openly disapproved of them, as long as she didn’t practice her trade within the cantina.

When Rasilvenaira was twenty, Phutari gave her a special gift. She had been planning on leaving Ord Mantell when she had the credits saved up enough to get her own ship. Rasilvenaira was presented with one of the ships she had first learned to pilot, one which was very special to her. Tsudaly found himself in debt from gambling and in return for Phutari’s help in getting out of that debt; he gave Phutari the NyghtFyre as well as the two droids that served as its crew. Phutari had no real need for the ship, so offered it to Rasilvenaira as a gift. Soon after getting the [[NyghtFyre]], Rasilvenaira left Ord Mantell and set out to explore the galaxy and to make a name for herself.

=== The End of an Era ===
11 ABY

[[Image:stormravencrest.jpg|thumb|right|StormRaven's Crest]]

Rasilvenaira started out working various merchant networks building a solid base of contacts with initial help from Phutari who put her in touch with some of his contacts. She also quickly became familiar with the added profit to be had in smuggling as well as occasional jobs as an assassin that presented themselves. The NyghtFyre served well for smuggling with the extra cargo space that Tsudaly had built into the vessel, and the additional sensor jamming systems that she had installed into the ship made it that much harder to catch.

However, despite her rapid successes and growing reputation, a deep rooted restlessness plagued her. Nightmares that had been infrequent while she was around Phutari’s calming presence became almost constant in the solitude of her ship in deep space. StormRaven stayed on the edge, pushing herself to the limits of her endurance in not sleeping; she sank herself into her work knowing that if she didn’t sleep, she wouldn’t dream and the nightmares would be kept at bay. Over time it gradually began to wear on her, the nightmares drifted into her thoughts even when she was awake, memories she tried to forget kept haunting her. Unable to escape them, she was pushed close to the edge of madness, driven by those nightmares until she wanted nothing else but to end them once and for all.

One year after leaving Ord Mantell, Rasilvenaira finally gave into the growing thirst for vengeance, the need to destroy that which kept haunting her thoughts. She returned to Ord Mantell, setting a course for the Keraci village, navigating mostly by remembered landmarks from her flight away from the village five years previous.

Landing the ship near the village caused quite a stir from the superstitious and isolated Keraci. Rasilvenaira left the ship, walking the last distance to the edge of the village, wanting to make sure that they knew who it was that would bring about their demise. She wanted them to know what their actions had earned them.

Many did recognize her, and many began to flee the village, but one man who did not recognize her asked, “Who are you?”

To which, Rasilvenaira replied, "Who am I? I am that which even nightmares fear, I am death, I am vengeance, I am sorrow. I am the StormRaven."

Following her orders, Verlassen, aboard the NyghtFyre, opened fire on the village with the full extent of the ship's weaponry, quickly leveling it to smoldering rubble. Those Keraci who hadn’t run when they had the chance were killed in the destruction. The way of life, all that the Keraci had been for over four hundred years came to an end in that firestorm.

Rasilvenaira stood silently watching the remains of the village burn for several minutes, then turned away and returned to her ship. Resigning her past to the ashes of destruction, she vowed never to look back, and focused her attention on the future.

=== The Hunter and the Hunted ===

{{quote|I'll just kill things, it's what I do best.|Rasilvenaira}}

12-16 ABY

Rasilvenaira became involved in a group of smugglers and pirates who operated in the Seswenna Sector, using legitimate business offices on Eriadu to front their activities. Eriadu’s location on the Hydian Way made it easy for the group to prey on the merchant traffic in route to and from the core worlds. The group was a loose association of pirates and smugglers that formed a tentative cooperation led by two brothers, Korish and Balishan.

It was during her association with the group that Rasilvenaira’s reputation truly exploded. Her skill and tenacity in hunting merchant ships and managing to evade the authorities despite the increasing bounties on her head earned her a measure of notoriety. She established herself as a force to be reckoned with, and did little to dispute the common opinion of her being cold and ruthless.

Not only did she become more deeply involved in pirating and smuggling operations, she also continued her occupation as a successful assassin. Rasilvenaira made the acquaintance of a Bothan pirate and gambler by the name of Vurryn Rkalin as the two crossed paths frequently on smuggling runs. When Vurryn finally ran into a gambling debt he couldn’t pay, Rasilvenaira helped him out, and in return he gave her his R41-StarChaser which she named the [[Kanashimu]]. Rasilvenaira had several major modifications made on the fighter, as well as some cosmetic alterations including the addition of her personal crest as wing markings.

In 15 ABY Rasilvenaira had a particularly close call with a Trandoshan bounty hunter that she ran into on Tatooine. She managed to evade the bounty hunter and left Tatooine, but the stubborn reptilian wasn’t willing to give up his prey so easily. The Trandoshan caught up to the NyghtFyre in space and Rasilvenaira was forced to either try to out fight the more agile starfighter or escape into hyperspace. Rasilvenaira opted to jump to hyperspace, but half way to her intended destination, the ship dropped out of hyperspace as the hyperdrive failed.

After spending several minutes determining where the ship had ended up, Rasilvenaira then consulted the nav-computer and her astromech droid, R5 to find the nearest system that would be able to handle the necessary repairs for her ship. Fortunately the Saki system was close enough for the NyghtFyre to make the journey without needing a hyperdrive. She wasn’t sure how the Sakiyans would react to her showing up with a ship in need of repair, but had no other choice.

The Sakiyans weren’t happy about Rasilvenaira showing up, but were willing to negotiate a deal for their services in repairing her ship. The NyghtFyre had sustained more damage than Rasilvenaira had first believed in the fight with the Trandoshan, and the repairs would amount to nearly a full refit of the hyperdrive system and a few other minor things. During the time her ship was being worked on, Rasilvenaira was granted the privilege of staying on the planet and quickly found herself intrigued by the Sakiyan culture. They were renowned as bounty hunters and assassins with incredible natural senses. She integrated herself into their society, learning from them, and training with them and ended up spending a year on Sakiya. During that year, Rasilvenaira’s own senses developed to a level far beyond the normal range for a human, which made her even more dangerous as an assassin.

After spending the year with the Sakiyans, Rasilvenaira finally took her leave of their planet and returned to her occupation as assassin and smuggler with a renewed energy.

=== Embracing the Darkness ===

19 ABY

Rasilvenaira’s latent force abilities continued to grow and develop even though at the time she didn’t really understand the importance of them. This changed during a trip to Tatooine. Rasilvenaira was killing time in one of the local cantinas while a client’s cargo was to be unloaded from the NyghtFyre and transferred to his ship. Out of boredom and curiosity to see if she could still practice the art of pick pocketing, she scanned the busy cantina looking for a potential target.

Finally she spotted an older man who seemed to be dozing at a table in the far corner of the room. Casually she moved around the crowded room and made to walk past him, his purse full of credits in plain view, seemingly a very easy target. As Rasilvenaira made her move, she gasped in shock as his vice like grip caught her wrist. At his bidding she sat down across from him to avoid drawing any further unwanted attention.

Rasilvenaira questioned how he was able to catch her, and he explained that while she had talents, her untrained abilities were no match against someone trained in the force. She questioned him further and he explained what the force was in very basic terms and told her of a place where others like her were trained and taught how to use their abilities. After he left her sitting at the table, she thought over his words and decided to seek out the “Brotherhood” he had mentioned.

Rasilvenaira returned to her ship, and set a course for Corellia, having some unfinished business to attend to first. After that was concluded, she intended to find the Antei system the old warrior had told her about. The trip to Corellia went smoothly, she finished what she’d needed to and was looking forward to finding out more about the Antei system. What Rasilvenaira didn’t realize at the time was that she had been set up to run straight into a trap. The dark Jedi who’d told her of Antei had actually been working for the same Neimoidian that she had just done a job for, and a message had been sent to the Dark Brotherhood, telling them of an assassin on the way to kill their Grand Master.

When Rasilvenaira’s ship neared the Brotherhood’s system, she was attacked by two capital ships. Trapped between a Strike Cruiser and a Victory-class Star Destroyer, she was unable to escape and her ship was captured by the Star Destroyer, the VSD Excidium. Taken into custody aboard the Excidium, Rasilvenaira was subjected to several long and rather painful interrogations about her reasons for being near Antei.

It was during those interrogations that her latent and untrained force abilities flared and her captors decided that she would be held and taken to Antei. Once they reached Antei, Rasilvenaira was presented to the Grand Master, Jac Cotelin, who would ultimately decide her fate. After he questioned her, it was determined that Rasilvenaira indeed was innocent of the charge of intending to attempt assassination of the Grand Master.

Rasilvenaira was then given the option to stay and learn to use her abilities as part of the Brotherhood, which she readily accepted.
[[Image:7370-warbanner.gif|thumb|left|Rasilvenaira's warbanner]]

=== Finding a New Home ===
19-25 ABY

After her initial training was completed, Rasilvenaira was sent to the Cocytus system, home to [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]], and settled on the planet [[Antenora]] which was home to [[House Acclivis Draco]]. Rasilvenaira continued her studies of the force and the dark side, her insatiable quest for knowledge allowing her to move through the ranks quickly. She gradually earned the trust and respect of the Clan leadership. Rasilvenaira as appointed to the position of Clan Envoy, and it was a position to which she applied herself well.

For the first time in her life, Rasilvenaira found herself as a part of something greater, and while she had her own ambitions, she felt a pride and loyalty growing in her heart that she’d never known before. Her drive and ambition pushed her forward, but now she considered others before herself, a feeling that was new to her, but one she accepted readily. The sense of belonging, the knowledge of now being responsible for others made her efforts worthwhile.

Rasilvenaira was however, outspoken and bold, when she believed she was right on a course of action, there was little that could sway her from it. This caused some measure of tension between the StormRaven and some older, established members of the Clan. Many expected her fire to burn itself out, as others before her had, but instead, she kept going.

As time passed, her loyalty and love for her House and Clan only continued to strengthen and grow. Rasilvenaira gained the position of Sith Commander of the squadron [[Draco Conspicari]] and led the team through the Aranna and Selen Incidents. She also led Draco Conspicari through part of the Sixth Great Jedi War.

It was during the War that the leadership of Acclivis Draco changed, under the direction of the Clan Summit. [[Braecen Kunar]] became the Quaestor, and Rasilvenaira was appointed as the Aedile of Acclivis Draco. As she always did, Rasilvenaira poured her energy and efforts into her position, fueled by an intense desire to see her House thrive. Many criticized the decision to grant her the position; others questioned her motives and ambitions. Rasilvenaira refused to dwell on the futile attempts of others to discourage her; instead, she focused her efforts on proving her abilities.

=== A Bitter Conflict ===
25-26 ABY

In late 25 ABY, an open conflict erupted between Acclivis Draco and its sister house, Caliburnus. While Rasilvenaira was no stranger to warfare, the idea of fighting members of her own Clan bothered her. Scholae Palatinae had become family to her, and she was torn between loyalties to the Clan as a whole as the Clan’s Envoy, and the loyalties to the House she was sworn to protect as Aedile.

Tensions began building between Rasilvenaira and the Quaestor, [[RevengeX Palpatine]], as the Sith grew increasingly frustrated in the ways in which RevengeX was handling the conflict. Finally frustrated beyond the point of caring about chain of command, Rasilvenaira took matters into her own hands.

Acting against the Quaestor’s orders, she, along with the members of Draco Conspicari, led now by Adam Anderson, conducted maneuvers in an effort to bring the conflict between the Houses to an end. RevengeX was furious about the blatant disobedience and labeled his Aedile as a traitor. Attempts were made to arrest Rasilvenaira, but she managed to evade them.

When Caliburnus attacked Antenora, RevengeX was forced to turn his attentions to defending his House, but promised himself that Rasilvenaira would be punished for her actions. Rasilvenaira and the members of Draco Conspicari continued to act independently, and flanked the attacking forces of Caliburnus. It wasn’t until after the final battle was over and finished that RevengeX realized that Rasilvenaira had in fact been acting in the House’s best interest.

While he was still unhappy about her public defiance and disobedience, the Quaestor rescinded his accusations of treason. However, the entire event left the working relationship between Rasilvenaira and RevengeX strained and still tense.

[[Image:7370-saber1.jpg|thumb|left|Rasilvenaira's lightsaber]]

=== The Winds of Change ===
26 ABY

With the conclusion of the conflict between Houses Acclivis Draco and Caliburnus, the Clan Summit initiated some changes to the leadership of Caliburnus. [[Thran Occasus]] became the new Quaestor of [[House Caliburnus]] following the resignation of Impetus. Thran made the request for Rasilvenaira to become his Aedile.

Presented with the choice, Rasilvenaira accepted the new position. While she regretted leaving Acclivis Draco which had been her home for so long, Rasilvenaira was looking forward to once again working with Thran. The two had developed a close friendship during his stay in Acclivis Draco and she was confident that working with him again would be a pleasant change.

Upon moving to [[Ptolomea]] and becoming the Aedile of Caliburnus, Rasilvenaira quickly settled in, and began focusing her attention and efforts on helping her new House thrive. Under the combined leadership of Thran Occasus and Rasilvenaira, Caliburnus rapidly blossomed into a strong and well organized House.

=== Endings ===

{{quote|The only two certainties I've seen in this galaxy are death and change. No matter how well you plan things, sometimes it doesn't work out.|Rasilvenaira}}

Rasilvenaira made the final decision to leave Clan Scholae Palatinae on what would be the eve of the Ninth Great Jedi War. Leaving behind all that she had ever truly cared for, for reasons known only to her, the Sith resigned from the Clan and was marked as a rogue. All contact with Stormraven was lost.

However, several months after her disappearance, reports indicate that the remains of her ship, Raven's Fury were found. The location was never made public, and there are no records indicating any trace of the Sith. She had officially been declared dead, presumably killed when her ship was destroyed.

Recently, Rasilvenaira returned to Clan space, revealing that she was in fact still very much alive, despite evidence to the contrary.

{{quote|Do not waste my time with 'what if's. I will do whatever has to be done. I'll deal with the consequences later.|Rasilvenaira, during the Acclivis Draco-Caliburnus Conflict}}

Sith Batttlelord Rasilvenaira Kaeth StormRaven is probably best remembered as a former member of the Clan Scholae Palatinae where she served as Aedile and eventually as Quaestor of the House Caliburnus. Those who crossed paths with Rasilvenaira will either remember her fondly as a fierce warrior for her Clan, or with hatred for a deadly enemy.

== Character History ==

=== Birth of an Outcast ===
10 BBY

Along the northern plains of Ord Mantell, far distant from any cities, a group of humans had settled around 425 BBY. This group of humans isolated themselves as much as possible and over time began to display a genetic uniformity among the people. The [[Keraci]] people became a race unto themselves, of medium build with blonde or pale colored hair and typically blue or green eyes. They were also a people without the force, living their lives based on superstitions and abiding by the laws laid down by the village’s High Priest.

In 10 BBY the High Priest was called on to attend the Shalphera, or highest ranking female, of the village for the birth of her latest child. Many of the village elders and minor priests were concerned; the omens were boding ill for the birth, since the village was being subjected to an unusually fierce period of storms that threatened the crops.

When the child was born, those fears and superstitions were compounded. Inspecting the child, a girl, the High Priest was faced with the shock of seeing dark brown hair and piercing dark eyes as the child looked up at him. Given her mother’s ranking as Shalphera, the laws of the village forbade killing the infant, but because of the inexplicable differences in her appearance, she was branded as an outcast.

Her mother gave her the name of Kaishera, meaning Shadowed Star, however the rest of the family and village began calling the girl Rasilvenaira, meaning Silver Raven. The name was meant in cruel jest because with her dark hair and even darker eyes, there was nothing silver about her, though she did seem to have a strong affinity for the bird she was named after.

As the young girl grew, her place as outcast was constantly made painfully clear to her. Frequently subjected to beatings, and verbal abuse, Rasilvenaira lived her life on the edge. The Keraci were her people, but their world seemed to have no place for her, even though it was the world to which she was born. Considered worthless, even below slaves in value, she often went with out meals, and was worked hard, given the chores none of her siblings wished to do. By the age of five, Rasilvenaira was beginning to display latent abilities which earned her even more scorn and displeasure from the Keraci people who viewed those abilities as unnatural and evil.

Rasilvenaira vowed to herself that somehow, she would survive, and despite the efforts of her kin to the contrary, she managed to do just that. But the seeds of hatred and anger were sowed deeply in her soul, and in time, those seeds would take hold and blossom.

=== Rise of the StormRaven ===
6 ABY

One evening after a particularly brutal beating came close to killing her; Rasilvenaira realized that it was only a matter of time before her kin succeeded in ending her life. As soon as she was able to recover enough from the beating, Rasilvenaira gathered up the few possessions she was allowed, as well as a few she managed to steal. Biding her time until the dark of night, Rasilvenaira slipped out of the Keraci village, taking one of the villages riding animals, or Rok’shall, for its extra speed.

Rasilvenaira drifted alone except for the Rok’shall she rode for nearly two weeks. She had no idea where she would go, but there was no going back, she would find her own way or die trying. Eventually her path crossed that of a Trader’s caravan, and she spent a couple of days with them. During her stay with them, her Rok’shall helped earn her a nice purse full of credits, and she was able to buy a few supplies from the traders, including a simple set of throwing knives. They also helped her gain a sense of direction, showing her maps of where they were and where the nearest city, Trader’s Quarter, was.

After parting ways with the caravan, Rasilvenaira made her way toward Trader’s Quarter. When she finally arrived, the city was quite a shock to her after the isolated, rural world of the Keraci. Immediately she found herself at a great disadvantage, knowing only very little Basic. Rasilvenaira managed to find a merchant on the outskirts of the city who purchased her Rok’shall though she was sure he’d cheated her in the deal. She had no plans of ever going back to the Keraci village, so the credits she earned from the beast would serve her better than it would.

Her first day in the city soon turned rather miserable as it started raining. Lost, alone, and getting scared as she was jostled and bumped and pushed aside by the people passing her by, Rasilvenaira had no idea where to go to for shelter against the weather. Finally she just huddled against the wall of a building and sank to the ground, worn out from her journey.

Rasilvenaira was beginning to resign herself to spending a restless night in the rain when she saw a strange looking humanoid approaching her. She was too tired to fight and something about his easy going manner kept her from running. Despite her inability to understand the Basic language, she managed to catch the meanings of his words as he offered her the one thing she wanted most at that moment, a dry, safe place to rest, and the possibility of food as well. She agreed to follow him, and along the way he introduced himself as [[Phutari]].

Phutari was middle aged Dressellian who owned a well established cantina in the area, and he took Rasilvenaira in, giving her a room above his cantina, he also offered her a job in helping out around the cantina. The first few weeks were mostly spent by him teaching her various things. He taught her Basic, adding on to the little she knew, until she finally had a solid grasp on the language. Phutari also taught her about the various races and species as they came through his cantina, as well as teaching her about the city itself.

While she was never really able to understand why she trusted him so easily, there was just something in Phutari’s warm amber eyes that made her feel safe. As the months passed, they developed a close relationship, Phutari looking after her almost as if she were his own daughter. It was also Phutari who first gave her the name of StormRaven. He always called her ‘little Raven’ since he found that easier than her full name, but he coined the name StormRaven for her because of her stormy and unpredictable temper, combined with her incredible ability of stealth. As he told her, "You move like a shadow, yet strike like a storm. Storm Raven, that's what you are." From that day on she took the name StormRaven as her own.

=== Flight of the Raven ===
7-10 ABY

Phutari used his many connections to help Rasilvenaira as much as he could in various ways. One of those occasions was him arranging for her to learn to pilot ships. She was a fast learner and soon progressed to being able to manage even a mid sized freighter on her own. Her favorite teacher was another Dressellian by the name of Tsudaly who taught her how to pilot his YT-2400 called the NyghtFyre. Rasilvenaira was also particularly fond of the two droids he kept on the ship; a protocol droid called [[Verlassen]], and a spunky astromech droid, [[R5-K7]] simply known as R5.

Rasilvenaira also began to find her own place in the scheme of things in the city. When she wasn’t spending her time working in Phutari’s cantina, Rasilvenaira gained a reputation as a talented thief. Eventually she also became an assassin, with her ability to seemingly disappear into the shadows it was an occupation she was well suited to. Phutari knew of her activities, but he never openly disapproved of them, as long as she didn’t practice her trade within the cantina.

When Rasilvenaira was twenty, Phutari gave her a special gift. She had been planning on leaving Ord Mantell when she had the credits saved up enough to get her own ship. Rasilvenaira was presented with one of the ships she had first learned to pilot, one which was very special to her. Tsudaly found himself in debt from gambling and in return for Phutari’s help in getting out of that debt; he gave Phutari the NyghtFyre as well as the two droids that served as its crew. Phutari had no real need for the ship, so offered it to Rasilvenaira as a gift. Soon after getting the [[NyghtFyre]], Rasilvenaira left Ord Mantell and set out to explore the galaxy and to make a name for herself.

=== The End of an Era ===
11 ABY

[[Image:stormravencrest.jpg|thumb|right|StormRaven's Crest]]

Rasilvenaira started out working various merchant networks building a solid base of contacts with initial help from Phutari who put her in touch with some of his contacts. She also quickly became familiar with the added profit to be had in smuggling as well as occasional jobs as an assassin that presented themselves. The NyghtFyre served well for smuggling with the extra cargo space that Tsudaly had built into the vessel, and the additional sensor jamming systems that she had installed into the ship made it that much harder to catch.

However, despite her rapid successes and growing reputation, a deep rooted restlessness plagued her. Nightmares that had been infrequent while she was around Phutari’s calming presence became almost constant in the solitude of her ship in deep space. StormRaven stayed on the edge, pushing herself to the limits of her endurance in not sleeping; she sank herself into her work knowing that if she didn’t sleep, she wouldn’t dream and the nightmares would be kept at bay. Over time it gradually began to wear on her, the nightmares drifted into her thoughts even when she was awake, memories she tried to forget kept haunting her. Unable to escape them, she was pushed close to the edge of madness, driven by those nightmares until she wanted nothing else but to end them once and for all.

One year after leaving Ord Mantell, Rasilvenaira finally gave into the growing thirst for vengeance, the need to destroy that which kept haunting her thoughts. She returned to Ord Mantell, setting a course for the Keraci village, navigating mostly by remembered landmarks from her flight away from the village five years previous.

Landing the ship near the village caused quite a stir from the superstitious and isolated Keraci. Rasilvenaira left the ship, walking the last distance to the edge of the village, wanting to make sure that they knew who it was that would bring about their demise. She wanted them to know what their actions had earned them.

Many did recognize her, and many began to flee the village, but one man who did not recognize her asked, “Who are you?”

To which, Rasilvenaira replied, "Who am I? I am that which even nightmares fear, I am death, I am vengeance, I am sorrow. I am the StormRaven."

Following her orders, Verlassen, aboard the NyghtFyre, opened fire on the village with the full extent of the ship's weaponry, quickly leveling it to smoldering rubble. Those Keraci who hadn’t run when they had the chance were killed in the destruction. The way of life, all that the Keraci had been for over four hundred years came to an end in that firestorm.

Rasilvenaira stood silently watching the remains of the village burn for several minutes, then turned away and returned to her ship. Resigning her past to the ashes of destruction, she vowed never to look back, and focused her attention on the future.

=== The Hunter and the Hunted ===

{{quote|I'll just kill things, it's what I do best.|Rasilvenaira}}

12-16 ABY

Rasilvenaira became involved in a group of smugglers and pirates who operated in the Seswenna Sector, using legitimate business offices on Eriadu to front their activities. Eriadu’s location on the Hydian Way made it easy for the group to prey on the merchant traffic in route to and from the core worlds. The group was a loose association of pirates and smugglers that formed a tentative cooperation led by two brothers, Korish and Balishan.

It was during her association with the group that Rasilvenaira’s reputation truly exploded. Her skill and tenacity in hunting merchant ships and managing to evade the authorities despite the increasing bounties on her head earned her a measure of notoriety. She established herself as a force to be reckoned with, and did little to dispute the common opinion of her being cold and ruthless.

Not only did she become more deeply involved in pirating and smuggling operations, she also continued her occupation as a successful assassin. Rasilvenaira made the acquaintance of a Bothan pirate and gambler by the name of Vurryn Rkalin as the two crossed paths frequently on smuggling runs. When Vurryn finally ran into a gambling debt he couldn’t pay, Rasilvenaira helped him out, and in return he gave her his R41-StarChaser which she named the [[Kanashimu]]. Rasilvenaira had several major modifications made on the fighter, as well as some cosmetic alterations including the addition of her personal crest as wing markings.

In 15 ABY Rasilvenaira had a particularly close call with a Trandoshan bounty hunter that she ran into on Tatooine. She managed to evade the bounty hunter and left Tatooine, but the stubborn reptilian wasn’t willing to give up his prey so easily. The Trandoshan caught up to the NyghtFyre in space and Rasilvenaira was forced to either try to out fight the more agile starfighter or escape into hyperspace. Rasilvenaira opted to jump to hyperspace, but half way to her intended destination, the ship dropped out of hyperspace as the hyperdrive failed.

After spending several minutes determining where the ship had ended up, Rasilvenaira then consulted the nav-computer and her astromech droid, R5 to find the nearest system that would be able to handle the necessary repairs for her ship. Fortunately the Saki system was close enough for the NyghtFyre to make the journey without needing a hyperdrive. She wasn’t sure how the Sakiyans would react to her showing up with a ship in need of repair, but had no other choice.

The Sakiyans weren’t happy about Rasilvenaira showing up, but were willing to negotiate a deal for their services in repairing her ship. The NyghtFyre had sustained more damage than Rasilvenaira had first believed in the fight with the Trandoshan, and the repairs would amount to nearly a full refit of the hyperdrive system and a few other minor things. During the time her ship was being worked on, Rasilvenaira was granted the privilege of staying on the planet and quickly found herself intrigued by the Sakiyan culture. They were renowned as bounty hunters and assassins with incredible natural senses. She integrated herself into their society, learning from them, and training with them and ended up spending a year on Sakiya. During that year, Rasilvenaira’s own senses developed to a level far beyond the normal range for a human, which made her even more dangerous as an assassin.

After spending the year with the Sakiyans, Rasilvenaira finally took her leave of their planet and returned to her occupation as assassin and smuggler with a renewed energy.

=== Embracing the Darkness ===

19 ABY

Rasilvenaira’s latent force abilities continued to grow and develop even though at the time she didn’t really understand the importance of them. This changed during a trip to Tatooine. Rasilvenaira was killing time in one of the local cantinas while a client’s cargo was to be unloaded from the NyghtFyre and transferred to his ship. Out of boredom and curiosity to see if she could still practice the art of pick pocketing, she scanned the busy cantina looking for a potential target.

Finally she spotted an older man who seemed to be dozing at a table in the far corner of the room. Casually she moved around the crowded room and made to walk past him, his purse full of credits in plain view, seemingly a very easy target. As Rasilvenaira made her move, she gasped in shock as his vice like grip caught her wrist. At his bidding she sat down across from him to avoid drawing any further unwanted attention.

Rasilvenaira questioned how he was able to catch her, and he explained that while she had talents, her untrained abilities were no match against someone trained in the force. She questioned him further and he explained what the force was in very basic terms and told her of a place where others like her were trained and taught how to use their abilities. After he left her sitting at the table, she thought over his words and decided to seek out the “Brotherhood” he had mentioned.

Rasilvenaira returned to her ship, and set a course for Corellia, having some unfinished business to attend to first. After that was concluded, she intended to find the Antei system the old warrior had told her about. The trip to Corellia went smoothly, she finished what she’d needed to and was looking forward to finding out more about the Antei system. What Rasilvenaira didn’t realize at the time was that she had been set up to run straight into a trap. The dark Jedi who’d told her of Antei had actually been working for the same Neimoidian that she had just done a job for, and a message had been sent to the Dark Brotherhood, telling them of an assassin on the way to kill their Grand Master.

When Rasilvenaira’s ship neared the Brotherhood’s system, she was attacked by two capital ships. Trapped between a Strike Cruiser and a Victory-class Star Destroyer, she was unable to escape and her ship was captured by the Star Destroyer, the VSD Excidium. Taken into custody aboard the Excidium, Rasilvenaira was subjected to several long and rather painful interrogations about her reasons for being near Antei.

It was during those interrogations that her latent and untrained force abilities flared and her captors decided that she would be held and taken to Antei. Once they reached Antei, Rasilvenaira was presented to the Grand Master, Jac Cotelin, who would ultimately decide her fate. After he questioned her, it was determined that Rasilvenaira indeed was innocent of the charge of intending to attempt assassination of the Grand Master.

Rasilvenaira was then given the option to stay and learn to use her abilities as part of the Brotherhood, which she readily accepted.

=== Finding a New Home ===
19-25 ABY

After her initial training was completed, Rasilvenaira was sent to the Cocytus system, home to [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]], and settled on the planet [[Antenora]] which was home to [[House Acclivis Draco]]. Rasilvenaira continued her studies of the force and the dark side, her insatiable quest for knowledge allowing her to move through the ranks quickly. She gradually earned the trust and respect of the Clan leadership. Rasilvenaira as appointed to the position of Clan Envoy, and it was a position to which she applied herself well.

For the first time in her life, Rasilvenaira found herself as a part of something greater, and while she had her own ambitions, she felt a pride and loyalty growing in her heart that she’d never known before. Her drive and ambition pushed her forward, but now she considered others before herself, a feeling that was new to her, but one she accepted readily. The sense of belonging, the knowledge of now being responsible for others made her efforts worthwhile.

Rasilvenaira was however, outspoken and bold, when she believed she was right on a course of action, there was little that could sway her from it. This caused some measure of tension between the StormRaven and some older, established members of the Clan. Many expected her fire to burn itself out, as others before her had, but instead, she kept going.

As time passed, her loyalty and love for her House and Clan only continued to strengthen and grow. Rasilvenaira gained the position of Sith Commander of the squadron [[Draco Conspicari]] and led the team through the Aranna and Selen Incidents. She also led Draco Conspicari through part of the Sixth Great Jedi War.

It was during the War that the leadership of Acclivis Draco changed, under the direction of the Clan Summit. [[Braecen Kunar]] became the Quaestor, and Rasilvenaira was appointed as the Aedile of Acclivis Draco. As she always did, Rasilvenaira poured her energy and efforts into her position, fueled by an intense desire to see her House thrive. Many criticized the decision to grant her the position; others questioned her motives and ambitions. Rasilvenaira refused to dwell on the futile attempts of others to discourage her; instead, she focused her efforts on proving her abilities.

=== A Bitter Conflict ===
25-26 ABY

In late 25 ABY, an open conflict erupted between Acclivis Draco and its sister house, Caliburnus. While Rasilvenaira was no stranger to warfare, the idea of fighting members of her own Clan bothered her. Scholae Palatinae had become family to her, and she was torn between loyalties to the Clan as a whole as the Clan’s Envoy, and the loyalties to the House she was sworn to protect as Aedile.

Tensions began building between Rasilvenaira and the Quaestor, [[RevengeX Palpatine]], as the Sith grew increasingly frustrated in the ways in which RevengeX was handling the conflict. Finally frustrated beyond the point of caring about chain of command, Rasilvenaira took matters into her own hands.

Acting against the Quaestor’s orders, she, along with the members of Draco Conspicari, led now by Adam Anderson, conducted maneuvers in an effort to bring the conflict between the Houses to an end. RevengeX was furious about the blatant disobedience and labeled his Aedile as a traitor. Attempts were made to arrest Rasilvenaira, but she managed to evade them.

When Caliburnus attacked Antenora, RevengeX was forced to turn his attentions to defending his House, but promised himself that Rasilvenaira would be punished for her actions. Rasilvenaira and the members of Draco Conspicari continued to act independently, and flanked the attacking forces of Caliburnus. It wasn’t until after the final battle was over and finished that RevengeX realized that Rasilvenaira had in fact been acting in the House’s best interest.

While he was still unhappy about her public defiance and disobedience, the Quaestor rescinded his accusations of treason. However, the entire event left the working relationship between Rasilvenaira and RevengeX strained and still tense.

[[Image:7370-saber1.jpg|thumb|left|Rasilvenaira's lightsaber]]

=== The Winds of Change ===
26 ABY

With the conclusion of the conflict between Houses Acclivis Draco and Caliburnus, the Clan Summit initiated some changes to the leadership of Caliburnus. [[Thran Occasus]] became the new Quaestor of [[House Caliburnus]] following the resignation of Impetus. Thran made the request for Rasilvenaira to become his Aedile.

Presented with the choice, Rasilvenaira accepted the new position. While she regretted leaving Acclivis Draco which had been her home for so long, Rasilvenaira was looking forward to once again working with Thran. The two had developed a close friendship during his stay in Acclivis Draco and she was confident that working with him again would be a pleasant change.

Upon moving to [[Ptolomea]] and becoming the Aedile of Caliburnus, Rasilvenaira quickly settled in, and began focusing her attention and efforts on helping her new House thrive. Under the combined leadership of Thran Occasus and Rasilvenaira, Caliburnus rapidly blossomed into a strong and well organized House.

=== Endings ===

{{quote|The only two certainties I've seen in this galaxy are death and change. No matter how well you plan things, sometimes it doesn't work out.|Rasilvenaira}}

Rasilvenaira made the final decision to leave Clan Scholae Palatinae on what would be the eve of the Ninth Great Jedi War. Leaving behind all that she had ever truly cared for, for reasons known only to her, the Sith resigned from the Clan and was marked as a rogue. All contact with Stormraven was lost.

However, several months after her disappearance, reports indicate that the remains of her ship, Raven's Fury were found. The location was never made public, and there are no records indicating any trace of the Sith. She has since officially been declared dead, presumably killed when her ship was destroyed.

{{quote|Do not waste my time with 'what if's. I will do whatever has to be done. I'll deal with the consequences later.|Rasilvenaira, during the Acclivis Draco-Caliburnus Conflict}}

Sith Batttlelord Rasilvenaira Kaeth StormRaven is probably best remembered as a former member of the Clan Scholae Palatinae where she served as Aedile and eventually as Quaestor of the House Caliburnus. Those who crossed paths with Rasilvenaira will either remember her fondly as a fierce warrior for her Clan, or with hatred for a deadly enemy.

== Character History ==

=== Birth of an Outcast ===
10 BBY

Along the northern plains of Ord Mantell, far distant from any cities, a group of humans had settled around 425 BBY. This group of humans isolated themselves as much as possible and over time began to display a genetic uniformity among the people. The [[Keraci]] people became a race unto themselves, of medium build with blonde or pale colored hair and typically blue or green eyes. They were also a people without the force, living their lives based on superstitions and abiding by the laws laid down by the village’s High Priest.

In 10 BBY the High Priest was called on to attend the Shalphera, or highest ranking female, of the village for the birth of her latest child. Many of the village elders and minor priests were concerned; the omens were boding ill for the birth, since the village was being subjected to an unusually fierce period of storms that threatened the crops.

When the child was born, those fears and superstitions were compounded. Inspecting the child, a girl, the High Priest was faced with the shock of seeing dark brown hair and piercing dark eyes as the child looked up at him. Given her mother’s ranking as Shalphera, the laws of the village forbade killing the infant, but because of the inexplicable differences in her appearance, she was branded as an outcast.

Her mother gave her the name of Kaishera, meaning Shadowed Star, however the rest of the family and village began calling the girl Rasilvenaira, meaning Silver Raven. The name was meant in cruel jest because with her dark hair and even darker eyes, there was nothing silver about her, though she did seem to have a strong affinity for the bird she was named after.

As the young girl grew, her place as outcast was constantly made painfully clear to her. Frequently subjected to beatings, and verbal abuse, Rasilvenaira lived her life on the edge. The Keraci were her people, but their world seemed to have no place for her, even though it was the world to which she was born. Considered worthless, even below slaves in value, she often went with out meals, and was worked hard, given the chores none of her siblings wished to do. By the age of five, Rasilvenaira was beginning to display latent abilities which earned her even more scorn and displeasure from the Keraci people who viewed those abilities as unnatural and evil.

Rasilvenaira vowed to herself that somehow, she would survive, and despite the efforts of her kin to the contrary, she managed to do just that. But the seeds of hatred and anger were sowed deeply in her soul, and in time, those seeds would take hold and blossom.

=== Rise of the StormRaven ===
6 ABY

One evening after a particularly brutal beating came close to killing her; Rasilvenaira realized that it was only a matter of time before her kin succeeded in ending her life. As soon as she was able to recover enough from the beating, Rasilvenaira gathered up the few possessions she was allowed, as well as a few she managed to steal. Biding her time until the dark of night, Rasilvenaira slipped out of the Keraci village, taking one of the villages riding animals, or Rok’shall, for its extra speed.

Rasilvenaira drifted alone except for the Rok’shall she rode for nearly two weeks. She had no idea where she would go, but there was no going back, she would find her own way or die trying. Eventually her path crossed that of a Trader’s caravan, and she spent a couple of days with them. During her stay with them, her Rok’shall helped earn her a nice purse full of credits, and she was able to buy a few supplies from the traders, including a simple set of throwing knives. They also helped her gain a sense of direction, showing her maps of where they were and where the nearest city, Trader’s Quarter, was.

After parting ways with the caravan, Rasilvenaira made her way toward Trader’s Quarter. When she finally arrived, the city was quite a shock to her after the isolated, rural world of the Keraci. Immediately she found herself at a great disadvantage, knowing only very little Basic. Rasilvenaira managed to find a merchant on the outskirts of the city who purchased her Rok’shall though she was sure he’d cheated her in the deal. She had no plans of ever going back to the Keraci village, so the credits she earned from the beast would serve her better than it would.

Her first day in the city soon turned rather miserable as it started raining. Lost, alone, and getting scared as she was jostled and bumped and pushed aside by the people passing her by, Rasilvenaira had no idea where to go to for shelter against the weather. Finally she just huddled against the wall of a building and sank to the ground, worn out from her journey.

Rasilvenaira was beginning to resign herself to spending a restless night in the rain when she saw a strange looking humanoid approaching her. She was too tired to fight and something about his easy going manner kept her from running. Despite her inability to understand the Basic language, she managed to catch the meanings of his words as he offered her the one thing she wanted most at that moment, a dry, safe place to rest, and the possibility of food as well. She agreed to follow him, and along the way he introduced himself as [[Phutari]].

Phutari was middle aged Dressellian who owned a well established cantina in the area, and he took Rasilvenaira in, giving her a room above his cantina, he also offered her a job in helping out around the cantina. The first few weeks were mostly spent by him teaching her various things. He taught her Basic, adding on to the little she knew, until she finally had a solid grasp on the language. Phutari also taught her about the various races and species as they came through his cantina, as well as teaching her about the city itself.

While she was never really able to understand why she trusted him so easily, there was just something in Phutari’s warm amber eyes that made her feel safe. As the months passed, they developed a close relationship, Phutari looking after her almost as if she were his own daughter. It was also Phutari who first gave her the name of StormRaven. He always called her ‘little Raven’ since he found that easier than her full name, but he coined the name StormRaven for her because of her stormy and unpredictable temper, combined with her incredible ability of stealth. As he told her, "You move like a shadow, yet strike like a storm. Storm Raven, that's what you are." From that day on she took the name StormRaven as her own.

=== Flight of the Raven ===
7-10 ABY

Phutari used his many connections to help Rasilvenaira as much as he could in various ways. One of those occasions was him arranging for her to learn to pilot ships. She was a fast learner and soon progressed to being able to manage even a mid sized freighter on her own. Her favorite teacher was another Dressellian by the name of Tsudaly who taught her how to pilot his YT-2400 called the NyghtFyre. Rasilvenaira was also particularly fond of the two droids he kept on the ship; a protocol droid called [[Verlassen]], and a spunky astromech droid, [[R5-K7]] simply known as R5.

Rasilvenaira also began to find her own place in the scheme of things in the city. When she wasn’t spending her time working in Phutari’s cantina, Rasilvenaira gained a reputation as a talented thief. Eventually she also became an assassin, with her ability to seemingly disappear into the shadows it was an occupation she was well suited to. Phutari knew of her activities, but he never openly disapproved of them, as long as she didn’t practice her trade within the cantina.

When Rasilvenaira was twenty, Phutari gave her a special gift. She had been planning on leaving Ord Mantell when she had the credits saved up enough to get her own ship. Rasilvenaira was presented with one of the ships she had first learned to pilot, one which was very special to her. Tsudaly found himself in debt from gambling and in return for Phutari’s help in getting out of that debt; he gave Phutari the NyghtFyre as well as the two droids that served as its crew. Phutari had no real need for the ship, so offered it to Rasilvenaira as a gift. Soon after getting the [[NyghtFyre]], Rasilvenaira left Ord Mantell and set out to explore the galaxy and to make a name for herself.

=== The End of an Era ===
11 ABY

[[Image:stormravencrest.jpg|thumb|right|StormRaven's Crest]]

Rasilvenaira started out working various merchant networks building a solid base of contacts with initial help from Phutari who put her in touch with some of his contacts. She also quickly became familiar with the added profit to be had in smuggling as well as occasional jobs as an assassin that presented themselves. The NyghtFyre served well for smuggling with the extra cargo space that Tsudaly had built into the vessel, and the additional sensor jamming systems that she had installed into the ship made it that much harder to catch.

However, despite her rapid successes and growing reputation, a deep rooted restlessness plagued her. Nightmares that had been infrequent while she was around Phutari’s calming presence became almost constant in the solitude of her ship in deep space. StormRaven stayed on the edge, pushing herself to the limits of her endurance in not sleeping; she sank herself into her work knowing that if she didn’t sleep, she wouldn’t dream and the nightmares would be kept at bay. Over time it gradually began to wear on her, the nightmares drifted into her thoughts even when she was awake, memories she tried to forget kept haunting her. Unable to escape them, she was pushed close to the edge of madness, driven by those nightmares until she wanted nothing else but to end them once and for all.

One year after leaving Ord Mantell, Rasilvenaira finally gave into the growing thirst for vengeance, the need to destroy that which kept haunting her thoughts. She returned to Ord Mantell, setting a course for the Keraci village, navigating mostly by remembered landmarks from her flight away from the village five years previous.

Landing the ship near the village caused quite a stir from the superstitious and isolated Keraci. Rasilvenaira left the ship, walking the last distance to the edge of the village, wanting to make sure that they knew who it was that would bring about their demise. She wanted them to know what their actions had earned them.

Many did recognize her, and many began to flee the village, but one man who did not recognize her asked, “Who are you?”

To which, Rasilvenaira replied, "Who am I? I am that which even nightmares fear, I am death, I am vengeance, I am sorrow. I am the StormRaven."

Following her orders, Verlassen, aboard the NyghtFyre, opened fire on the village with the full extent of the ship's weaponry, quickly leveling it to smoldering rubble. Those Keraci who hadn’t run when they had the chance were killed in the destruction. The way of life, all that the Keraci had been for over four hundred years came to an end in that firestorm.

Rasilvenaira stood silently watching the remains of the village burn for several minutes, then turned away and returned to her ship. Resigning her past to the ashes of destruction, she vowed never to look back, and focused her attention on the future.

=== The Hunter and the Hunted ===

{{quote|I'll just kill things, it's what I do best.|Rasilvenaira}}

12-16 ABY

Rasilvenaira became involved in a group of smugglers and pirates who operated in the Seswenna Sector, using legitimate business offices on Eriadu to front their activities. Eriadu’s location on the Hydian Way made it easy for the group to prey on the merchant traffic in route to and from the core worlds. The group was a loose association of pirates and smugglers that formed a tentative cooperation led by two brothers, Korish and Balishan.

It was during her association with the group that Rasilvenaira’s reputation truly exploded. Her skill and tenacity in hunting merchant ships and managing to evade the authorities despite the increasing bounties on her head earned her a measure of notoriety. She established herself as a force to be reckoned with, and did little to dispute the common opinion of her being cold and ruthless.

Not only did she become more deeply involved in pirating and smuggling operations, she also continued her occupation as a successful assassin. Rasilvenaira made the acquaintance of a Bothan pirate and gambler by the name of Vurryn Rkalin as the two crossed paths frequently on smuggling runs. When Vurryn finally ran into a gambling debt he couldn’t pay, Rasilvenaira helped him out, and in return he gave her his R41-StarChaser which she named the [[Kanashimu]]. Rasilvenaira had several major modifications made on the fighter, as well as some cosmetic alterations including the addition of her personal crest as wing markings.

In 15 ABY Rasilvenaira had a particularly close call with a Trandoshan bounty hunter that she ran into on Tatooine. She managed to evade the bounty hunter and left Tatooine, but the stubborn reptilian wasn’t willing to give up his prey so easily. The Trandoshan caught up to the NyghtFyre in space and Rasilvenaira was forced to either try to out fight the more agile starfighter or escape into hyperspace. Rasilvenaira opted to jump to hyperspace, but half way to her intended destination, the ship dropped out of hyperspace as the hyperdrive failed.

After spending several minutes determining where the ship had ended up, Rasilvenaira then consulted the nav-computer and her astromech droid, R5 to find the nearest system that would be able to handle the necessary repairs for her ship. Fortunately the Saki system was close enough for the NyghtFyre to make the journey without needing a hyperdrive. She wasn’t sure how the Sakiyans would react to her showing up with a ship in need of repair, but had no other choice.

The Sakiyans weren’t happy about Rasilvenaira showing up, but were willing to negotiate a deal for their services in repairing her ship. The NyghtFyre had sustained more damage than Rasilvenaira had first believed in the fight with the Trandoshan, and the repairs would amount to nearly a full refit of the hyperdrive system and a few other minor things. During the time her ship was being worked on, Rasilvenaira was granted the privilege of staying on the planet and quickly found herself intrigued by the Sakiyan culture. They were renowned as bounty hunters and assassins with incredible natural senses. She integrated herself into their society, learning from them, and training with them and ended up spending a year on Sakiya. During that year, Rasilvenaira’s own senses developed to a level far beyond the normal range for a human, which made her even more dangerous as an assassin.

After spending the year with the Sakiyans, Rasilvenaira finally took her leave of their planet and returned to her occupation as assassin and smuggler with a renewed energy.

=== Embracing the Darkness ===

19 ABY

Rasilvenaira’s latent force abilities continued to grow and develop even though at the time she didn’t really understand the importance of them. This changed during a trip to Tatooine. Rasilvenaira was killing time in one of the local cantinas while a client’s cargo was to be unloaded from the NyghtFyre and transferred to his ship. Out of boredom and curiosity to see if she could still practice the art of pick pocketing, she scanned the busy cantina looking for a potential target.

Finally she spotted an older man who seemed to be dozing at a table in the far corner of the room. Casually she moved around the crowded room and made to walk past him, his purse full of credits in plain view, seemingly a very easy target. As Rasilvenaira made her move, she gasped in shock as his vice like grip caught her wrist. At his bidding she sat down across from him to avoid drawing any further unwanted attention.

Rasilvenaira questioned how he was able to catch her, and he explained that while she had talents, her untrained abilities were no match against someone trained in the force. She questioned him further and he explained what the force was in very basic terms and told her of a place where others like her were trained and taught how to use their abilities. After he left her sitting at the table, she thought over his words and decided to seek out the “Brotherhood” he had mentioned.

Rasilvenaira returned to her ship, and set a course for Corellia, having some unfinished business to attend to first. After that was concluded, she intended to find the Antei system the old warrior had told her about. The trip to Corellia went smoothly, she finished what she’d needed to and was looking forward to finding out more about the Antei system. What Rasilvenaira didn’t realize at the time was that she had been set up to run straight into a trap. The dark Jedi who’d told her of Antei had actually been working for the same Neimoidian that she had just done a job for, and a message had been sent to the Dark Brotherhood, telling them of an assassin on the way to kill their Grand Master.

When Rasilvenaira’s ship neared the Brotherhood’s system, she was attacked by two capital ships. Trapped between a Strike Cruiser and a Victory-class Star Destroyer, she was unable to escape and her ship was captured by the Star Destroyer, the VSD Excidium. Taken into custody aboard the Excidium, Rasilvenaira was subjected to several long and rather painful interrogations about her reasons for being near Antei.

It was during those interrogations that her latent and untrained force abilities flared and her captors decided that she would be held and taken to Antei. Once they reached Antei, Rasilvenaira was presented to the Grand Master, Jac Cotelin, who would ultimately decide her fate. After he questioned her, it was determined that Rasilvenaira indeed was innocent of the charge of intending to attempt assassination of the Grand Master.

Rasilvenaira was then given the option to stay and learn to use her abilities as part of the Brotherhood, which she readily accepted.

=== Finding a New Home ===
19-25 ABY

After her initial training was completed, Rasilvenaira was sent to the Cocytus system, home to [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]], and settled on the planet [[Antenora]] which was home to [[House Acclivis Draco]]. Rasilvenaira continued her studies of the force and the dark side, her insatiable quest for knowledge allowing her to move through the ranks quickly. She gradually earned the trust and respect of the Clan leadership. Rasilvenaira as appointed to the position of Clan Envoy, and it was a position to which she applied herself well.

For the first time in her life, Rasilvenaira found herself as a part of something greater, and while she had her own ambitions, she felt a pride and loyalty growing in her heart that she’d never known before. Her drive and ambition pushed her forward, but now she considered others before herself, a feeling that was new to her, but one she accepted readily. The sense of belonging, the knowledge of now being responsible for others made her efforts worthwhile.

Rasilvenaira was however, outspoken and bold, when she believed she was right on a course of action, there was little that could sway her from it. This caused some measure of tension between the StormRaven and some older, established members of the Clan. Many expected her fire to burn itself out, as others before her had, but instead, she kept going.

As time passed, her loyalty and love for her House and Clan only continued to strengthen and grow. Rasilvenaira gained the position of Sith Commander of the squadron [[Draco Conspicari]] and led the team through the Aranna and Selen Incidents. She also led Draco Conspicari through part of the Sixth Great Jedi War.

It was during the War that the leadership of Acclivis Draco changed, under the direction of the Clan Summit. [[Braecen Kunar]] became the Quaestor, and Rasilvenaira was appointed as the Aedile of Acclivis Draco. As she always did, Rasilvenaira poured her energy and efforts into her position, fueled by an intense desire to see her House thrive. Many criticized the decision to grant her the position; others questioned her motives and ambitions. Rasilvenaira refused to dwell on the futile attempts of others to discourage her; instead, she focused her efforts on proving her abilities.

=== A Bitter Conflict ===
25-26 ABY

In late 25 ABY, an open conflict erupted between Acclivis Draco and its sister house, Caliburnus. While Rasilvenaira was no stranger to warfare, the idea of fighting members of her own Clan bothered her. Scholae Palatinae had become family to her, and she was torn between loyalties to the Clan as a whole as the Clan’s Envoy, and the loyalties to the House she was sworn to protect as Aedile.

Tensions began building between Rasilvenaira and the Quaestor, [[RevengeX Palpatine]], as the Sith grew increasingly frustrated in the ways in which RevengeX was handling the conflict. Finally frustrated beyond the point of caring about chain of command, Rasilvenaira took matters into her own hands.

Acting against the Quaestor’s orders, she, along with the members of Draco Conspicari, led now by Adam Anderson, conducted maneuvers in an effort to bring the conflict between the Houses to an end. RevengeX was furious about the blatant disobedience and labeled his Aedile as a traitor. Attempts were made to arrest Rasilvenaira, but she managed to evade them.

When Caliburnus attacked Antenora, RevengeX was forced to turn his attentions to defending his House, but promised himself that Rasilvenaira would be punished for her actions. Rasilvenaira and the members of Draco Conspicari continued to act independently, and flanked the attacking forces of Caliburnus. It wasn’t until after the final battle was over and finished that RevengeX realized that Rasilvenaira had in fact been acting in the House’s best interest.

While he was still unhappy about her public defiance and disobedience, the Quaestor rescinded his accusations of treason. However, the entire event left the working relationship between Rasilvenaira and RevengeX strained and still tense.

=== The Winds of Change ===
26 ABY

With the conclusion of the conflict between Houses Acclivis Draco and Caliburnus, the Clan Summit initiated some changes to the leadership of Caliburnus. [[Thran Occasus]] became the new Quaestor of [[House Caliburnus]] following the resignation of Impetus. Thran made the request for Rasilvenaira to become his Aedile.

Presented with the choice, Rasilvenaira accepted the new position. While she regretted leaving Acclivis Draco which had been her home for so long, Rasilvenaira was looking forward to once again working with Thran. The two had developed a close friendship during his stay in Acclivis Draco and she was confident that working with him again would be a pleasant change.

Upon moving to [[Ptolomea]] and becoming the Aedile of Caliburnus, Rasilvenaira quickly settled in, and began focusing her attention and efforts on helping her new House thrive. Under the combined leadership of Thran Occasus and Rasilvenaira, Caliburnus rapidly blossomed into a strong and well organized House.
