= History =
Once considered part of the pinnacle worlds of the Caelus system, in 232 BBY '''Interitus Cairn''' was struck by two successive fragments of the Emergence that had sling-shot around a massive black hole from wild space, returned to the known systems and struck the planet. Striking near the central capital, millions of lives were lost as was the capital itself. Much of the interior landscape was forever altered by the impact, with significant seismic activity in the centuries after, preventing nearly all resettlement efforts by the survivors. Technology largely collapsed, with the survivors returning to a primitive way of life.

Eventually, much of the world’s past became forgotten except what was passed down through the generations. Even the former capital’s name has fallen into obscurity, with various tribes calling it different names as their ancestors remembered it. Due to the seismic activity and tsunami risks, Interitus Cairn was never re-settled by outsiders and was largely left to its own devices. It was considered far too risky of an investment, with far too little in return, and forgotten by all but the most persistent dreamers.

With the Dalicron War persisting, as well as the conflict between the Traditionalists and the Loyalists, some have begun to eye the world as a potential salvation…

= Despir & Vigil =
Interitus Cairn has two moons that orbit it, '''Despir''' and '''Vigil'''. Vigil is a lifeless rock that slowly orbits in a clockwise pattern, with each full lunar cycle taking a month to complete.

It's smaller twin, Despir, is an extremely hot magma moon. It too, orbits in a clockwise pattern with each full lunar cycle taking half a month to complete. Its unique feature, however, is when it comes into alignment and close proximity to Vigil. When this occurs, the outer crust is shattered to reveal the lava underneath which scorches the skies of Interitus Cairn with a crimson red. At night, everything glows red, and some tribes give sacrifices feeling that this "blood moon" is an omen.

= Regions =
== Eastern Continent ==
The Eastern Continent, also known as [NAME PENDING], consists of 9 unique regions. It was the first of the two major continents to show solid signs of seismic calming in recent decades. Because of the northeasterly trade winds, due to the planet’s axis, and the mountainous growth from the seismic shifts, much of the continent’s heart is covered in lush forests and plains. In the northwest, however, there is a significant arid area both due to the cool trade winds being unable to reach it, because of the mountain ranges on its southern rim, as well as the hot moistureless air that comes in from the active volcanic island to its west.

===Volcanic Island===
[[File:Volcanic_island.png|250px|thumb|right| A distant view of the volcanic island.]] This tall Composite Volcano is a testament to the still potentially volatile nature of the planet, with its classic and distinctive volcano peak, as well as frequent violent eruptions and a constant flow of magma to the surface. Only the most resilient of creatures can exist near the summit of the volcano, with high heat and noxious gases being a constant threat. Down at the coast, where the lava flows freely into the ocean and ever expands the size of the island, conditions are slightly more favorable for life to exist. Occasional trees sprout from seeds carried by the winds and waves. Vibrantly colorful blooms of algae grow beneath the surface of the water all around the island, absorbing the myriad of minerals extruded from the volcano. '''Tikwaw birds''', a native species to Interitus Cairn, prowl the near-boiling waters feasting on the algae, protected from the temperatures by their thick scales and long legs. The algae gives them their bright and varied feather colors. On the southern peninsula, a narrow crevice opens up into the inside of a massive underground geode hundreds of meters across.

===Claylands===
[[File:Claylands.jpg|250px|thumb|left| The Claylands.]] Trapped between a wide mountain range that blocks the trade winds from the south, and a huge volcanic island sending hot, moisture-less air east, this region has struggled to recover, even after all this time. The only precipitation here is during the peak of summer months when the tropical storms move north, but thick layers of clay on the surface provide nowhere for the water to go, creating a landscape of small hills with crevices between them where the water pooled. Life in this region is almost nonexistent, but for a few areas. On the northern coast, more frequent rain and humid air have washed away the layers of clay and allowed some flora to adapt. Likewise, a large lake in the center has begun to show signs of life, presumably due to a similar erosion. To the south, the badlands encroach on the jungles to the east. Far beneath the surface, where the soil begins to soften, a maze of interconnecting rainwater tunnels is expanding. The cooler temperatures and moisture allows some flora to propagate underground.

===Interior Coastal===
[[File:interior_coastal.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Coastal view into the ocean.]] This mountainous region was once a vibrant coastal peninsula, but the violent shifting of tectonic plates after the Emergence redefined the entire landscape, annihilating several settlements in the process. This destruction continued all the way to the south-western edge of the region, where a large city was cleaved nearly in two, half sinking below the watery depths and the other half remaining on the shores to be reclaimed by nature. The plant life of this region is temperate, with a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees. With many ruins scattered throughout the peaks, this region is ripe for technology scavenging by tribes from across the continent, though few have ventured into the Sunken City itself and returned to tell of its secrets.

===Crescent Isles===
[[File:Crescent.jpg|250px|thumb|left|The Crescent Isles]]Many dozens of millenia before the Emergence devastated Interitus Cairn, this region was formed from the collision of a sizable meteor. Ocean water flowed into the crater, creating a ringed landmass around the site. Ocean currents eroded the outer portion of the ring, severing the connection at multiple points and creating a series of islands. This separation caused many of the animals to diverge in evolution, creating distinct subspecies on each island. The largest of the islands in this region is essentially divided into two sections by a sharp, jagged mountain range. The northern section is populated with areas of dense evergreen forest separated by smaller, but equally jagged mountains. Woodland creatures have flourished in this environment, taking advantage of the year-round cover of the trees. The southern section is much more open, with occasional patches of forest and wide meadows allowing for larger, less agile creatures to graze; however, with larger prey comes larger predators.

===Grasslands (North, Central, Southern)===
[[File:Grassland_valley.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The Central Grasslands]]When the tectonic plates were thrown into turmoil by the Emergence, this valley region was split horizontally into three distinct regions, creating an entirely new river systems in the process. As the chaos settled, the new features allowed this region to flourish when others around it struggled. Strong, bountiful forests developed in the northeast at the base of the river, while in the heart of the region plains provided ample room for animals to graze. In the west where the river meets the sea, a dense jungle formed on the coast. Nomadic peoples found refuge in this region in the aftermath and formed tribes before spreading out around the continent.

=== Frostlands (East) ===
[[File:Frostlands.webp|250px|thumb|left|Deep within the Frostlands]]Prior to the Emergence, this region was an hospitable and flourishing tundra. Powerful trade winds after the Emergence brought frequent storms that, combined with the plummeting temperatures, prevented most flora and fauna from continuing to live here. It only worsened in the aftermath of the disaster when jagged peaks burst out of the landscape, burying the ruins of what little signs of civilization may have remained. Even now this region remains mostly snowy and lifeless, aside from small pockets of resilient flora.

=== Frostlands (West) ===
In the apocalyptic aftermath of the Emergence, the southern coastal regions of this continent were bombarded by monolithic tidal waves; no region suffered more than this one. Entire cities were dragged into the depths. When the icy waters finally receded, all but the most stalwart structures had been completely washed away. What was once a solid coastline had been broken into four separate peninsulas. Over time the trees returned, then the wildlife, and finally, the people. Nomadic tribes wandering into this region from the north took up residence in several abandoned geothermal power plants that laid dormant in the mountains. These tribes eventually settled down and consolidated into one large society, developing their own technology from scavenged relics.

=== Scorched Lands ===
[[File:Scorched_lands.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The Scorched Lands]]This scorched, cold arid region has sparse creatures and vegetation spread out in the shadows of the many towering rock formations. The temperatures here have increasingly became colder and colder, with far more competition for what flora remains. This has resulted in many more predator type creatures fighting over territory. In the center lies a massive saltwater lake that was once a part of the ocean to the north. During the tectonic upheaval after the Emergence, a large section of the ocean floor rose to the surface, creating a land bridge that separated the lake from the rest of the ocean. Aquatic lifeforms found in the lake, both flora and fauna, vary uniquely from those found in the nearby ocean.

== Western Continent ==
The Western Continent, also known as [NAME PENDING], was the second of the two major continents to finally show signs of seismic calming, however much of its eastern side remains unable to be settled or explored due to the constant seismic activity within the mountain chains south of the continent. The effects of which have blocked the cooler moist air, instead redirecting it over the western sections. This has resulted in a significant desert area persisting despite the scientists efforts to make it otherwise.

An unexpected side effect of this, however, was the formation of a savannah style region in the northeast that was significantly above sea level, and did manage to take in some of the cooler air which rose above the wastes to its south. Directly to its southeast was a passageway to a basin at the ocean’s edge where a smaller jungle formed due to the winds off of the northern ocean.

In the southwestern, western, and northwestern regions are large woodlands and forests along with what some refer to as the ‘’’World Tree’’, a [[starwars:Wroshyr_tree|Wroshyr tree]] that was imported from [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] to jump-start forest and jungle development. The scientists were unaware of just how fast that particular tree grows, however, and quickly its root systems delved deep into Interitus Cairn’s surface and all across the western continent. It acquired its moniker due to this, and the fact that roots which penetrated the surface in other areas of the forest and jungles saw additional nutrients fed into the ground from those roots.

=== Forests ===
[[File:World_tree.jpg|250px|thumb|left| The World Tree of Interitus Cairn, within the western forests.]]Spanning nearly forty percent of the Western Continent, the Forest lies on the northwestern side of the continent. It was created after the placement of a Wroshyr Tree centuries prior, and managed to escape the effects of the Emergence due to its thick roots holding much of the area together tightly. Because of the region’s stability, this was one of the major areas where survivors of the Emergence resettled after the capital’s collapse over 300 years ago.

Many of the tribes here became isolated from tribes in other regions, with some that settled near the World Tree adopting a spiritual belief about the tree due to its protections given to them and not others. These tribes in particular have become hostile to outsiders, feeling they ‘are not worthy’ due to the tree not affording them protections.

This region is also home to [[Thanadris]], and the Jedi Ruins.

=== Southwest Archipelago Region ===
[[File:Archipelago.png|250px|thumb|right| The Archipelago.]]Located on the southwestern coastline, the archipelago’s mountain ranges protected it from much of the Emergence including the tsunami effects within the continental heart. It consists of numerous islands and coastal areas, with many small settlements dotting around the interior perimeter. Following the Emergence, it became home to numerous tribes which adopted the lives of pirates over the generations.

As infighting became more common, an enclave was created that was under the control of a ‘pirate council’ from leaders within each tribe to bring about a common peace between them and a goal of plunder and loot from tribes not a part of the enclave, and towns outside of the archipelago. Due to the tsunamis and storms, they have largely been unable to leave the exterior perimeter of the archipelago and make their way up the eastern or western coastline. As the tsunamis and seismic activities from the Emergence calm, however, this could change.

===Southeastern Isles ===
[[File:southeastern_isles.png|250px|thumb|left| The Southeastern Isles.]]The southeastern isles are a largely unpopulated area, filled with avian wildlife capable of staying above the tsunami strikes when they do occur on the islands. In the past, these islands were significantly larger but were whittled down following the Emergence and its effects within the continental heart.

With the calming of tsunami frequency, these islands are becoming an opportunity for those who want to be away from the mainland style of life.

===Northwest Desert ===
[[File:Northeast_desert.png|250px|thumb|right| The Desert.]]The central desert of the western continent was created following the effects of the Emergence and the reshaping of much of the interior of the continental heart between the two continents. Much of the cooler air was directed away, with only arid air remaining. This resulted in desertification of the region over the centuries, and only memories remaining of what was once here long ago.

Nicknamed the ‘deadly desert’, it is rumored to be filled with buried temples and cities but is also home to the dangerous antlion which calls the dunes its home. Other creatures of a deadly nature call this area home, including snakes and other various wildlife. In addition, the super-high temperatures and lack of water also present a danger to anything not accustomed to the environment.

===Red Wastes===
[[File:red_wastes.png|250px|thumb|left| The hostile lands of the Red Wastes.]]The Red Wastes, as they are called, was once the region where the former world capital of Interitus Cairn existed. It was on the eastern seaboard that the Emergence struck the planet and caused its havoc, not far from the capital. The collision ripped open the crust of the planet and exposed the liquid magma mantle beneath, pulling it to the surface. As the lava on the edge of the crater cooled, it formed into a massive lava lake that still persists. The lake covers such a wide area that it is subject to lunar tides. Much of this area has remained untouched in the centuries after, with ‘cairns’ created in memoria for those who had perished in the event. Because of that, this region is dotted with thousands of cairns.

Visiting here has become far too much of a hazard, however, as magma pressure beneath the surface will occasionally build up and rupture, showering the landscape in molten rock. What little technology did remain was scavenged, and is now in the hands of rogue swoop biker gangs which patrol the region and kill or enslave those who dare encroach on their territory. Sometimes even putting them in domes to fight one another for their own amusement.

===Northern Canyons===
[[File:northern_canyons.jpg|250px|thumb|right| The sprawling Northeastern Canyons.]]
With little mountains to defend this area when the Emergence struck, and the roots of the World Tree not reaching this far north, it was the most heavily affected area with seismic activity outside of the desert areas that saw the worst. Constant tsunami effects from the interior eroded and broke away much of the rock, forming vast canyons and crevices that descend far into the planet’s interior. While it is not understood why this area took so much damage, observers from orbit over the years speculated that a large majority of the seismic activity centered on underground fault lines that stretched across the area like a spider web, resulting in its eventual creation to what it is today.

Carrions and other avian scavengers control much of the area, with smaller wildlife being able to survive the environment by getting into smaller areas where the avians are unable to reach.

=== Northeastern Savannah===
[[File:Savannah.jpg|250px|thumb|left|The Savannah]]Because of its high elevation in comparison to much of the rest of the western continent of Interitus Cairn, and the canyons taking the brunt of the seismic activity in the area, the Savannah largely escaped the effects of the Emergence. It consists of a large grassland with trees dotted throughout, various oases, and has a large wildlife standing throughout it including prides of wolves, cats, and hyenas. On the exterior there are more lush areas where non-predatory wildlife thrive, away from the more territorial and hunting types of wildlife.

At some point, though it is unknown when, a reprogrammed battle droid sect came to care for the savannah and patrols it constantly for poachers and outsiders that do not belong. The sect is under the control of the droid S73V3 1RW1N, who serves as the savannah’s primary caretaker.

===Northeastern Jungle===
[[File:northeastern_jungle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The thick Jungle]]East of the Savannah, beyond the mountain ranges, lies an isolated section of jungle. The elevation here drops dramatically from the jagged peaks down to sea level. Warm humid air trapped by the mountains caused this region to flourish, in some cases too much so, as many of the jungle trees here are two to three times larger than their normal counterparts; though they pale in size to the World Tree. Some sections of the canopy are so dense the jungle floor is in near complete darkness. Small bushes and other ground level flora are less common here. The theme of increased size continues with the pollinators of this region; a gargantuan breed of Honey Bee can be found within the canopies. With drones the size of speeder bikes, no one is certain how large the queen is. They have taken over a significant portion of the jungle to the north, converting it into a massive hive. The drones collect for their honey within the Jungle, but even venture out into the Savannah and south past the Volcano. This variation of bee lacks the normal venom applied via stinger, however there is a stinging poison present in the honey, which the bees are immune to. It acts as a strong deterrent for most creatures, but someone with a high enough pain tolerance may find it enjoyable.

The jungle continues across a narrow channel and onto a long island to the east, though the size and density of the trees begins to decrease. Medium size hills break up the jungle, keeping the trees spread out and the canopies thin, allowing for more ground flora to grow. On the southern tip of the island, the hilly terrain combines into a substantial mountain peak.

== History ==

According to the memories of its few force-sensitive inhabitants, Thanadris was originally constructed as a Jedi Waystation millenia ago during the age of the [[starwars:HOld_Republic|Old Republic]]. Under the stewardship of the Exploration Corps, it served to supply and prepare Jedi for missions in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim_Territories|Southern Outer Rim Territories]].

In the late era of the [[starwars:Old_Republic|Old Republic]], Thanadris fell into abandonment when the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]] began subjugating surrounding sectors into the fold. Because of its location and status, it remained unfound within Interitus Cairn’s forests.

After the Sith Empire’s collapse during the [[starwars:Great_Hyperspace_War|Great Hyperspace War]], Thanadris was repopulated and used once more as a waystation as well as a training ground and academy for members of the [[starwars:Jedi_Service_Corps|Jedi Service Corps]].

When the Emergences occurred in the nearby sectors to their north in 232 BBY, some fragments had reached as far south as the Caelus system and struck near Interitus Cairn’s capital. The Masters and Jedi of the Service Corps that were stationed at Thanadris went to the capital’s aid to assist with the search for survivors. What they were unaware of, however, was that this had just been the beginning. A second fragment of the Emergence struck just outside of the capital. It not only wiped out the capital, but the entirety of the Service Corps that had gone to assist.

The electrostatic discharge from the strike reached as far out as Thanadris, destroying the entirety of its mechanical systems on the surface. With contact severed from Thanadris, the survivors having fled to safer areas, the Jedi Order did not realize there were survivors. Seeing the devastating fallout and complete destruction of the capital city, now replaced by a massive lava lake, the [[starwars:Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]] saw Interitus Cairn as a loss.

After the fall of [[starwars:Starlight_Beacon|Starlight Beacon]] by the [[starwars:Nihil|Nihil]] in 230 BBY, however, Thanadris was largely forgotten in its entirety and became obscure in the Order’s records allowing it to remain unfound.

Over the decades and centuries that followed, some of the Padawans dissipated into other areas of the world, joining with other survivors and becoming regular people; leaving behind the Jedi ways. Only a few [[starwars:Padawan|Padawans]] and [[starwars:Jedi_Knight|Knights]] remained at the Thanadris ruins, but they were unable to access Thanadris’ lower levels due to only the now deceased [[starwars:Jedi_Master|Masters]] knowing the secrets to bypass the traps and seals.

As growth and seismic eruptions plagued the land in the times ahead, the lower levels became all but forgotten and left behind. Gradually the few began to grow into larger numbers as generations passed, retaining their force-sensitivity and Jedi-style morals. Serving as peacekeepers and mediators, much like the days of the High Republic, they refused to become involved in conflicts unless it was absolutely necessary. Requests to be a part of politics in surrounding tribes and groups were ignored, opting instead to remain a neutral party and never take sides.

Eventually in 40 ABY, the tribe was came across by accident due to the exploration of [[Cassandra Oriana Tyris|Lady Second Cassandra Oriana Taldrya]], the [[starwars:Supreme_Chancellor|Supreme Chancellor]] of the [[Taldryan Republic]] at the time. Interitus Cairn’s seismic activity and tsunami risks had reduced significantly in recent years, especially in the areas surrounding the large forests in the northwestern regions.

With the Dalicron War still in full swing, and internal fighting continuing between the two major factions of the Republic, she wanted to find a home for refugees from the war as well as those internally who wanted to get away from the conflicts. She had not expected to find much, but instead an organized group of force-sensitive Proto-Jedi that upheld the ways.

After realizing she too followed the Jedi ways and was not a threat to them, they all but immediately offered selflessly to help her find them homes where they could live in peace. Spending time with them, she came to learn that they had desires to grow within the Order once more and reestablish the old ways.

While she was not knowledgeable in the ways of a Master, at least yet, nor as an instructor in the Jedi ways, there were those who did know that she could reach out to. And in return for their aid in helping outsiders, she would see to it that their wish would be fulfilled. To that end, she reached out to the Masters of [[Clan Odan-Urr]] for their aid and assistance in beginning the groundwork for rebuilding Thanadris and establishing a formal order for them and their children to start growing within.

= History =
Once considered part of the pinnacle worlds of the Caelus system, in 232 BBY '''Interitus Cairn''' was struck by two successive fragments of the Emergence that had sling-shot around a massive black hole from wild space, returned to the known systems and struck the planet. Striking near the central capital, millions of lives were lost as was the capital itself. Much of the interior landscape was forever altered by the impact, with significant seismic activity in the centuries after, preventing nearly all resettlement efforts by the survivors. Technology largely collapsed, with the survivors returning to a primitive way of life.

Eventually, much of the world’s past became forgotten except what was passed down through the generations. Even the former capital’s name has fallen into obscurity, with various tribes calling it different names as their ancestors remembered it. Due to the seismic activity and tsunami risks, Interitus Cairn was never re-settled by outsiders and was largely left to its own devices. It was considered far too risky of an investment, with far too little in return, and forgotten by all but the most persistent dreamers.

With the Dalicron War persisting, as well as the conflict between the Traditionalists and the Loyalists, some have begun to eye the world as a potential salvation…

= Despir & Vigil =
Interitus Cairn has two moons that orbit it, '''Despir''' and '''Vigil'''. Vigil is a lifeless rock that slowly orbits in a clockwise pattern, with each full lunar cycle taking a month to complete.

It's smaller twin, Despir, is an extremely hot magma moon. It too, orbits in a clockwise pattern with each full lunar cycle taking half a month to complete. Its unique feature, however, is when it comes into alignment and close proximity to Vigil. When this occurs, the outer crust is shattered to reveal the lava underneath which scorches the skies of Interitus Cairn with a crimson red. At night, everything glows red, and some tribes give sacrifices feeling that this "blood moon" is an omen.

= Regions =
== Eastern Continent ==
The Eastern Continent, also known as [NAME PENDING], consists of 9 unique regions. It was the first of the two major continents to show solid signs of seismic calming in recent decades. Because of the northeasterly trade winds, due to the planet’s axis, and the mountainous growth from the seismic shifts, much of the continent’s heart is covered in lush forests and plains. In the northwest, however, there is a significant arid area both due to the cool trade winds being unable to reach it, because of the mountain ranges on its southern rim, as well as the hot moistureless air that comes in from the active volcanic island to its west.

===Volcanic Island===
[[File:Volcanic_island.png|250px|thumb|right| A distant view of the volcanic island.]] This tall Composite Volcano is a testament to the still potentially volatile nature of the planet, with its classic and distinctive volcano peak, as well as frequent violent eruptions and a constant flow of magma to the surface. Only the most resilient of creatures can exist near the summit of the volcano, with high heat and noxious gases being a constant threat. Down at the coast, where the lava flows freely into the ocean and ever expands the size of the island, conditions are slightly more favorable for life to exist. Occasional trees sprout from seeds carried by the winds and waves. Vibrantly colorful blooms of algae grow beneath the surface of the water all around the island, absorbing the myriad of minerals extruded from the volcano. '''Tikwaw birds''', a native species to Interitus Cairn, prowl the near-boiling waters feasting on the algae, protected from the temperatures by their thick scales and long legs. The algae gives them their bright and varied feather colors. On the southern peninsula, a narrow crevice opens up into the inside of a massive underground geode hundreds of meters across.

===Claylands===
[[File:Claylands.jpg|250px|thumb|left| The Claylands.]] Trapped between a wide mountain range that blocks the trade winds from the south, and a huge volcanic island sending hot, moisture-less air east, this region has struggled to recover, even after all this time. The only precipitation here is during the peak of summer months when the tropical storms move north, but thick layers of clay on the surface provide nowhere for the water to go, creating a landscape of small hills with crevices between them where the water pooled. Life in this region is almost nonexistent, but for a few areas. On the northern coast, more frequent rain and humid air have washed away the layers of clay and allowed some flora to adapt. Likewise, a large lake in the center has begun to show signs of life, presumably due to a similar erosion. To the south, the badlands encroach on the jungles to the east. Far beneath the surface, where the soil begins to soften, a maze of interconnecting rainwater tunnels is expanding. The cooler temperatures and moisture allows some flora to propagate underground.

===Interior Coastal===
[[File:interior_coastal.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Coastal view into the ocean.]] This mountainous region was once a vibrant coastal peninsula, but the violent shifting of tectonic plates after the Emergence redefined the entire landscape, annihilating several settlements in the process. This destruction continued all the way to the south-western edge of the region, where a large city was cleaved nearly in two, half sinking below the watery depths and the other half remaining on the shores to be reclaimed by nature. The plant life of this region is temperate, with a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees. With many ruins scattered throughout the peaks, this region is ripe for technology scavenging by tribes from across the continent, though few have ventured into the Sunken City itself and returned to tell of its secrets.

===Crescent Isles===
[[File:Crescent.jpg|250px|thumb|left|The Crescent Isles]]Many dozens of millenia before the Emergence devastated Interitus Cairn, this region was formed from the collision of a sizable meteor. Ocean water flowed into the crater, creating a ringed landmass around the site. Ocean currents eroded the outer portion of the ring, severing the connection at multiple points and creating a series of islands. This separation caused many of the animals to diverge in evolution, creating distinct subspecies on each island. The largest of the islands in this region is essentially divided into two sections by a sharp, jagged mountain range. The northern section is populated with areas of dense evergreen forest separated by smaller, but equally jagged mountains. Woodland creatures have flourished in this environment, taking advantage of the year-round cover of the trees. The southern section is much more open, with occasional patches of forest and wide meadows allowing for larger, less agile creatures to graze; however, with larger prey comes larger predators.

In the apocalyptic aftermath of the Emergence, the southern coastal regions of this continent were bombarded by monolithic tidal waves; no region suffered more than this one. Entire cities were dragged into the depths. When the icy waters finally receded, all but the most stalwart structures had been completely washed away. What was once a solid coastline had been broken into four separate peninsulas. Over time the trees returned, then the wildlife, and finally, the people. Nomadic tribes wandering into this region from the north took up residence in several abandoned geothermal power plants that laid dormant in the mountains. These tribes eventually settled down and consolidated into one large society, developing their own technology from scavenged relics.

===Grasslands (North, Central, Southern)===
[[File:Grassland_valley.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The Central Grasslands]]When the tectonic plates were thrown into turmoil by the Emergence, this valley region was split horizontally into three distinct regions, creating an entirely new river systems in the process. As the chaos settled, the new features allowed this region to flourish when others around it struggled. Strong, bountiful forests developed in the northeast at the base of the river, while in the heart of the region plains provided ample room for animals to graze. In the west where the river meets the sea, a dense jungle formed on the coast. Nomadic peoples found refuge in this region in the aftermath and formed tribes before spreading out around the continent.

=== Frostlands ===
[[File:Frostlands.webp|250px|thumb|left|Deep within the Frostlands]]Prior to the Emergence, this region was an hospitable and flourishing tundra. Powerful trade winds after the Emergence brought frequent storms that, combined with the plummeting temperatures, prevented most flora and fauna from continuing to live here. It only worsened in the aftermath of the disaster when jagged peaks burst out of the landscape, burying the ruins of what little signs of civilization may have remained. Even now this region remains mostly snowy and lifeless, aside from small pockets of resilient flora.

=== Scorched Lands ===
[[File:Scorched_lands.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The Scorched Lands]]This scorched, cold arid region has sparse creatures and vegetation spread out in the shadows of the many towering rock formations. The temperatures here have increasingly became colder and colder, with far more competition for what flora remains. This has resulted in many more predator type creatures fighting over territory. In the center lies a massive saltwater lake that was once a part of the ocean to the north. During the tectonic upheaval after the Emergence, a large section of the ocean floor rose to the surface, creating a land bridge that separated the lake from the rest of the ocean. Aquatic lifeforms found in the lake, both flora and fauna, vary uniquely from those found in the nearby ocean.

== Western Continent ==
The Western Continent, also known as [NAME PENDING], was the second of the two major continents to finally show signs of seismic calming, however much of its eastern side remains unable to be settled or explored due to the constant seismic activity within the mountain chains south of the continent. The effects of which have blocked the cooler moist air, instead redirecting it over the western sections. This has resulted in a significant desert area persisting despite the scientists efforts to make it otherwise.

An unexpected side effect of this, however, was the formation of a savannah style region in the northeast that was significantly above sea level, and did manage to take in some of the cooler air which rose above the wastes to its south. Directly to its southeast was a passageway to a basin at the ocean’s edge where a smaller jungle formed due to the winds off of the northern ocean.

In the southwestern, western, and northwestern regions are large woodlands and forests along with what some refer to as the ‘’’World Tree’’, a [[starwars:Wroshyr_tree|Wroshyr tree]] that was imported from [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]] to jump-start forest and jungle development. The scientists were unaware of just how fast that particular tree grows, however, and quickly its root systems delved deep into Interitus Cairn’s surface and all across the western continent. It acquired its moniker due to this, and the fact that roots which penetrated the surface in other areas of the forest and jungles saw additional nutrients fed into the ground from those roots.

=== Forests ===
[[File:World_tree.jpg|250px|thumb|left| The World Tree of Interitus Cairn, within the western forests.]]Spanning nearly forty percent of the Western Continent, the Forest lies on the northwestern side of the continent. It was created after the placement of a Wroshyr Tree centuries prior, and managed to escape the effects of the Emergence due to its thick roots holding much of the area together tightly. Because of the region’s stability, this was one of the major areas where survivors of the Emergence resettled after the capital’s collapse over 300 years ago.

Many of the tribes here became isolated from tribes in other regions, with some that settled near the World Tree adopting a spiritual belief about the tree due to its protections given to them and not others. These tribes in particular have become hostile to outsiders, feeling they ‘are not worthy’ due to the tree not affording them protections.

This region is also home to [[Thanadris]], and the Jedi Ruins.

=== Southwest Archipelago Region ===
[[File:Archipelago.png|250px|thumb|right| The Archipelago.]]Located on the southwestern coastline, the archipelago’s mountain ranges protected it from much of the Emergence including the tsunami effects within the continental heart. It consists of numerous islands and coastal areas, with many small settlements dotting around the interior perimeter. Following the Emergence, it became home to numerous tribes which adopted the lives of pirates over the generations.

As infighting became more common, an enclave was created that was under the control of a ‘pirate council’ from leaders within each tribe to bring about a common peace between them and a goal of plunder and loot from tribes not a part of the enclave, and towns outside of the archipelago. Due to the tsunamis and storms, they have largely been unable to leave the exterior perimeter of the archipelago and make their way up the eastern or western coastline. As the tsunamis and seismic activities from the Emergence calm, however, this could change.

===Southeastern Isles ===
[[File:southeastern_isles.png|250px|thumb|left| The Southeastern Isles.]]The southeastern isles are a largely unpopulated area, filled with avian wildlife capable of staying above the tsunami strikes when they do occur on the islands. In the past, these islands were significantly larger but were whittled down following the Emergence and its effects within the continental heart.

With the calming of tsunami frequency, these islands are becoming an opportunity for those who want to be away from the mainland style of life.

===Northwest Desert ===
[[File:Northeast_desert.png|250px|thumb|right| The Desert.]]The central desert of the western continent was created following the effects of the Emergence and the reshaping of much of the interior of the continental heart between the two continents. Much of the cooler air was directed away, with only arid air remaining. This resulted in desertification of the region over the centuries, and only memories remaining of what was once here long ago.

Nicknamed the ‘deadly desert’, it is rumored to be filled with buried temples and cities but is also home to the dangerous antlion which calls the dunes its home. Other creatures of a deadly nature call this area home, including snakes and other various wildlife. In addition, the super-high temperatures and lack of water also present a danger to anything not accustomed to the environment.

===Red Wastes===
[[File:red_wastes.png|250px|thumb|left| The hostile lands of the Red Wastes.]]The Red Wastes, as they are called, was once the region where the former world capital of Interitus Cairn existed. It was on the eastern seaboard that the Emergence struck the planet and caused its havoc, not far from the capital. The collision ripped open the crust of the planet and exposed the liquid magma mantle beneath, pulling it to the surface. As the lava on the edge of the crater cooled, it formed into a massive lava lake that still persists. The lake covers such a wide area that it is subject to lunar tides. Much of this area has remained untouched in the centuries after, with ‘cairns’ created in memoria for those who had perished in the event. Because of that, this region is dotted with thousands of cairns.

Visiting here has become far too much of a hazard, however, as magma pressure beneath the surface will occasionally build up and rupture, showering the landscape in molten rock. What little technology did remain was scavenged, and is now in the hands of rogue swoop biker gangs which patrol the region and kill or enslave those who dare encroach on their territory. Sometimes even putting them in domes to fight one another for their own amusement.

===Northern Canyons===
[[File:northern_canyons.jpg|250px|thumb|right| The sprawling Northeastern Canyons.]]
With little mountains to defend this area when the Emergence struck, and the roots of the World Tree not reaching this far north, it was the most heavily affected area with seismic activity outside of the desert areas that saw the worst. Constant tsunami effects from the interior eroded and broke away much of the rock, forming vast canyons and crevices that descend far into the planet’s interior. While it is not understood why this area took so much damage, observers from orbit over the years speculated that a large majority of the seismic activity centered on underground fault lines that stretched across the area like a spider web, resulting in its eventual creation to what it is today.

Carrions and other avian scavengers control much of the area, with smaller wildlife being able to survive the environment by getting into smaller areas where the avians are unable to reach.

=== Northeastern Savannah===
[[File:Savannah.jpg|250px|thumb|left|The Savannah]]Because of its high elevation in comparison to much of the rest of the western continent of Interitus Cairn, and the canyons taking the brunt of the seismic activity in the area, the Savannah largely escaped the effects of the Emergence. It consists of a large grassland with trees dotted throughout, various oases, and has a large wildlife standing throughout it including prides of wolves, cats, and hyenas. On the exterior there are more lush areas where non-predatory wildlife thrive, away from the more territorial and hunting types of wildlife.

At some point, though it is unknown when, a reprogrammed battle droid sect came to care for the savannah and patrols it constantly for poachers and outsiders that do not belong. The sect is under the control of the droid S73V3 1RW1N, who serves as the savannah’s primary caretaker.

===Northeastern Jungle===
[[File:northeastern_jungle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The thick Jungle]]East of the Savannah, beyond the mountain ranges, lies an isolated section of jungle. The elevation here drops dramatically from the jagged peaks down to sea level. Warm humid air trapped by the mountains caused this region to flourish, in some cases too much so, as many of the jungle trees here are two to three times larger than their normal counterparts; though they pale in size to the World Tree. Some sections of the canopy are so dense the jungle floor is in near complete darkness. Small bushes and other ground level flora are less common here. The theme of increased size continues with the pollinators of this region; a gargantuan breed of Honey Bee can be found within the canopies. With drones the size of speeder bikes, no one is certain how large the queen is. They have taken over a significant portion of the jungle to the north, converting it into a massive hive. The drones collect for their honey within the Jungle, but even venture out into the Savannah and south past the Volcano. This variation of bee lacks the normal venom applied via stinger, however there is a stinging poison present in the honey, which the bees are immune to. It acts as a strong deterrent for most creatures, but someone with a high enough pain tolerance may find it enjoyable.

The jungle continues across a narrow channel and onto a long island to the east, though the size and density of the trees begins to decrease. Medium size hills break up the jungle, keeping the trees spread out and the canopies thin, allowing for more ground flora to grow. On the southern tip of the island, the hilly terrain combines into a substantial mountain peak.

{{Quote|Without honor, we are nothing but savages. Without loyalty, nothing but betrayers. It is these two virtues that make us who we are, and without them, make us who we should never be.| Cassandra Tyris}}

'''Cassandra Oriana Tyris''' is the '''Supreme Chancellor''' of the [[Taldryan Republic]], and a former '''Senator''' for the city of '''Caleria''' on the Republic capital world of [[Kasiya]]. She is the second to hold this station, and often times is referred to by the title given to her because of that: '''Lady Second'''. She is also a member of the '''Taldrya''', having been recently inducted into their roll after the constant and selfless devotion to the Republic.

== Early History (Birth - 40 ABY) ==
Remembering very little about her childhood's younger years, the first memories that Cassandra can recall were when she was discovered by a group of [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] warriors who were passing through an area that had been ravaged by an [[starwars:Imperial Remanant|Imperial Remnant]] group. They had found her with to the body of a woman, assumed to be her mother. At the time, according to them, she was no more than six years old. The area clearly had been destroyed a significant time ago, and even in a famished fatigued state, the young girl stood firmly against the Mandalorians with a spear in hand to defend her mother's corpse. Impressed by her bravery and resilience, they took her in as a foundling and raised her as their own on the ruined planet of [[starwars:Concord_Dawn|Concord Dawn]].

Growing up within the Mandalorian culture, she learned the importance of honor, strength, and loyalty. She was trained in the art of combat and became a skilled warrior in her own right. She quickly rose in both practical and intellectual knowledge, physical strength, and mastery of the [[Martial_Arts_Forms#Mandalorian_Core|Mandalorian Core]] martial art all by the age of 10 which earned the respect of her fellow Mandalorians.

Despite her loyalty to the Mandalorian way of life, the young girl had a deep desire to explore the galaxy and see what else was out there. When she reached the age of 13, Cassandra participated in her clan's rite of passage: ''verd'goten''. She was tested on everything she had learned, besting many of the more seasoned Mandalorians within the clan, and eventually was proclaimed an adult in their eyes. As an adult, she was given the choice to become a full Mandalorian, but she instead chose to leave the Mandalorians and embarked on a journey of self-discovery.

Upon her departure, she was given a [[starwars:beskar|beskar]] necklace which had a crest hanging from it with a symbol of a [[starwars: Quenker|Quenker]], the creature of which she had rescued a cub from when it was separated from its family and spent nearly a month to find its family and return it. On the same necklace was a purple and white pendant that she was told she had been found with, opening to reveal a quote inside: '"My stars, my life, I love you always and forever my precious Cassandra Oriana. - Alana Tyris, Mom"'

She had a name. Cassandra Oriana...Tyris. With bittersweet goodbyes, she made her way off of Concord Dawn and began exploring the galaxy. Compared to what she had been used to, it was a vast and endless place both with its positives, and its negatives.

=== Taldryan Days (36-40 ABY) ===
After many years of traveling the stars, journeying from system to system, she found herself on the moon [[Ostara]] in 36 ABY, a bustling world known for its diversity and tolerance. There, she became involved in local politics and began advocating for the rights of citizens who were often marginalized and overlooked by the ruling clan of [[Taldryan]]. Her efforts on behalf of the people of Ostara earned her a reputation as a passionate and effective advocate. She was eventually appointed as an advocate to the Taldryan leadership within the Citadel, the clan's base of operations, for the citizens and she worked tirelessly to improve the lives of those around her.

As her influence grew, an event known as the [[Elysia]] Incident occurred which resulted in solar flares from the Caelus Star striking the moon and severely disrupting its magnetic field. Organizing as many civilian transports as she could, Cassandra assisted in the evacuation of the world but inevitably she was unable to escape before ion storms engulfed the skies, destroying several transports already ascending towards space and preventing anyone else from leaving.

[[File:Casstraining.png|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra learning the art of Vaapad.]]

With the moon trapped in perpetual darkness, the only light coming from the constant storms far above in the atmosphere, Cassandra worked closely with the remaining Taldryan members and civilians that were still there to try and mete out a life for themselves. Most electronics fried, and it was several months before reinforced generators could be constructed and the first fringes of power restored to the Citadel. It had been noticed that she was force sensitive, something that priorly had been overlooked, during an attack on the Citadel ruins by a pack of rancor that intruded from the forest.

As one of them had moved towards a group of children, Cassandra placed herself between the group and the rancor and in her anger somehow had sent it staggering backwards with a deep indent in its chest. It had struggled to breathe, before it finally dropped to the ground and was dead. Upon seeing this, one of the [[Force Disciple|Force Disciples]] that was present on Ostara took her under his wing and helped teach her how to control her power and harness it. He also taught her the exquisite lightsaber art of [[Lightsaber_Forms#Form_8_-_Vaapad|Vaapad]], using his own force powers to help in hardening her emotions and mind to master it.

Several years passed before the [[Regent]] of the Brotherhood, [[Zxyl Taldrya]], managed to get through the ion storms. She was happy to learn that nearly everyone who had fled Ostara had survived. Upon being given the option to remain on Ostara or travel to the new capital on the moon [[Kasiya]], she chose to go. She knew those still there would be fine, as they all had gained immense strength and capabilities over those dark years, and wanted to work towards the betterment of the now reformed [[Taldryan Republic]] as a whole.

Shortly after arriving on Kasiya in 40 ABY and diving right into life as an advocate, she gained the attention of the leaders of the city of Caleria where she was living. They recognized not just her talent, but many of them remembered her and her efforts on Ostara years ago. She was asked to become a Senator for Caleria, to represent them and their interests within the Taldryan Senate.

At first, she was hesitant to take on such a responsibility. But after much reflection, she realized that this was an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of millions of people. She accepted the position and after moving to the capital of [[Port Kasiya]] she began her new role with passion and dedication.

As a senator, she worked to strengthen the ties between Port Kasiya and Caleria, as well as improve relations with the neighboring moon of [[Chyron]]. She also pushed for legislation that would help subsidize homes for the city's homeless population in Holmes, protect the environment, and promote sustainable practices. Despite facing opposition and criticism from some of her fellow senators, she remained steadfast in her beliefs and continued to fight for what she thought was right.

Over time, she became one of the most respected and influential politicians on Kasiya. Her leadership and dedication earned her the nickname '''"The People's Senator."''' Looking back on her life, she knew that she had come a long way from her humble beginnings as a foundling. She was proud of the person she had become and knew that her journey was far from over.

== Dark Whirlwinds (41 ABY) ==
=== The Second Chancellor ===
In early 41 ABY, [[starwars:Supreme_Chancellor|Supreme Chancellor]] and '''Lord First''' [[Appius Wight]] brought a motion before the senate to assist in the defense of the [[starwars:Saijo_sector|Saijo Sector]] directly to the south of their sector. Pirates had somehow managed to break through the extensive defensive perimeter that the Saijo monarchy had established along their southern border with the [[starwars:Kallea_sector|Kallea Sector]]. As part of his argument for supporting the assault, he warned what could happen should the pirates overtake the system as Taldryan's own home sector was next in their path. This was especially emphasized due to the mysterious disappearance of the '''Vice-Chancellor''' and Naval [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] [[Teebu Nyrrire]], which had already greatly weakened their naval offensive and defensive capabilities.

Despite the warnings, the senate overwhelmingly voted against their involvement in the war, as in their eyes there was not enough evidence to support any credence that the pirates would indeed move further north. Already they were far outside of their normal areas and for decades Saijo had blockaded every form of supply route that could have benefited Kallea, particularly the Corellian Trade Spine, and constantly authorized assaults into their territories. The citizens of Caleria were equally apprehensive and desired nothing more than to focus on themselves for now and continue finding ways to try and get back to Ostara, since all support in doing so from the Republic itself had all but faded. Due to this, Cassandra voted against joining the war as well.

She was stunned when barely a few days later word had reached her offices back in Caleria that the Supreme Chancellor had ignored the will of the senate and dispatched the [[Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet]] to assist the Saijo monarchy in fighting back the pirates. Almost immediately the senate called an emergency session with '''War Marshal''' [[Lee Starr]] presiding in the absence of both Chancellors. While many could understand the reasonings behind what he had done, many of the other senators could not get over the singular fact of the issue: he disobeyed a direct senate mandate. Finally, the senator of [[Chyron]] brought the motion for a [[starwars:Vote_of_No_Confidence|Vote of No Confidence]] in the Lord First's leadership. It fell largely against the expected lines, with Chyron and other Calerian senators all voting in favor, while most of [[Elysia]]'s and Kasiya's senators voted against it. Cassandra was one of just a few Calerian senators to vote against it, favoring instead severe sanctions against his office, given everything he had accomplished and done for the Republic. It came down to a solid tie, in which the War Marshal concurred with those voting in favor of his removal.

When the fleet returned, Appius had closed himself up in his office while the newly returned Vice-Chancellor Nyrrire assumed his post in leading the senate. When votes came up on who should be nominated to succeed him as the '''Second Chancellor''', [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Teebu Nyrrire of the Naval Fleet, nominated himself as he already had the post of Vice-Chancellor and direct succession made the most sense. However, before the vote could take place, once again the Chyron delegation stood against it. They cited his disappearance and the sudden appearance of damning evidence that he had been working with the main adversary of the Taldryan Republic, the [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]] as one of their officers the near half-year he had been gone. The cries to instead vote for another, similarly, were more vocal than anything else. Once Nyrrire retired himself from the chamber, the most prominent names went up. [[Jorm_"The_Jester"_Na'trej|Jorm Na'trej]], who was the Chancellor of Chyron, War Marshal Lee Starr of the Taldryan Strategic Operations Council, '''Koda Kendis''' the Chancellor of Elysia, among four others. Coming as a shock to both herself and a few others, Cassandra's name was thrown up alongside theirs.

Once her name was up the deliberations were not long before a vote was held and it was a close race between herself and Jorm Na'trej, the others trailing far behind. Ultimately, however, she pulled ahead in the later hours and the gap only grew. By the evening of the same day that both of the former Chancellors had been all but removed from power, she was now to assume the role of the Second Chancellor and '''Lady Second''', as the Taldryan Republic's new Supreme Chancellor.

=== Disappearances and a Mock War ===
The next day as she assumed her post and had her belongings transferred to '''Taldryan Tower''', she was stunned to find everything from her predecessor was gone. His quarters cleared out. His office was barren except for the large furniture that had been present before. Everything that could have indicated anyone had even been in this office was gone, leaving the illusion that she herself was the first to be there. Upon requesting an inquiry, she found out that Appius had disappeared from the city without so much as a word after the vote to remove him had taken place. Nyrrire, as well, had gone missing though the [[Office of Secret Intelligence]] had obtained evidence that he had been kidnapped by unknown renegades. Only one of his twin lightsabers remained and now was in her possession.

Initially she brought on the Elysian Chancellor, Koda Kendis, as her Vice-Chancellor but his longing for his home as well as the constant bustle of the bureaucracy proved to be not for him and she gracefully allowed him to return home. Following that, she identified someone who had served Taldryan in the past: The last Consul, [[Seraine_"Erinyes"_Taldrya_Ténama|Seraine "Erinyes" Ténama]].

Strangely enough, it wasn't her who sought Erinyes out but the exact opposite when Erinyes randomly visited Taldryan Tower to discuss the opening of a new vineyard in the northern reaches of the Karufr Lowlands. Excited about the prospect, the two traveled together to the area in question and started bonding over their love of wine. When Erin questioned where Koda was and how he was doing, Cassandra informed her of his recent resignation and that she stood alone at the summit. With everything that had happened to Taldryan the last several years, she made the decision to offer herself up to be the next Vice-Chancellor. The idea was brought before the Taldryan Republic Administrative Committee for a vote, and unanimously was approved. As was the vineyard, by Cassandra.

== [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]] (41 ABY) ==
=== The First Signs of Fracture ===
Late in 41 ABY, a heavily encrypted communication was sent by [[Grand Master]] [[Evant Taelyan]] directly to Cassandra's office. Up until this point, the Brotherhood had been fairly quiet aside from occasional requests for materials and goods, and this act was something that initially worried her. The Republic Senate held a strong stance against the Brotherhood, wanting to stand on its own two feet away from them. She, however, understood the connections between Taldryan and the Brotherhood and still ensured they were involved as directly as they chose to be and that loyalty to the Iron Throne was maintained.

[[File:CassandraTyris.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra the night before the start of the War.]]

The communication was short, brisk, and to the point. Both Cassandra and the Taldryan military were to report to a specific set of coordinates where a 'gate' had been constructed which lead to where the Children of Mortis were hiding. The plan was to infiltrate their home region on the other side of the gate known as the [[Ethereal_Realm|Ethereal Realm]]. Initially she brought this before the Senate and overwhelmingly was denied in the taking of Taldryan resources and military strength to do nothing but be the Iron Throne's 'dog', but after reminding them of what happened to Taldryan's old home of [[Karufr]] at the hands of the Brotherhood's Iron Navy and that the Republic in its current form would not be able to withstand a direct assault, the vote again was held and passed.

It was at this point the Taldryan Republic had entered it's second war, the [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]].

=== The Ethereal Realm ===
Being new to this level of leadership as a Chancellor, Cassandra elected to join her forces on the front lines during the initial assaults into the realm. The realm itself was unique in that the force was extremely unstable when it came to the force. At times she was forced to rely on her own physical strength and endurance, while other times she could fight almost endlessly across the battlefield with unending haste and stamina as if someone had turned on a water tap and just left it running. Other times she was able to utilize abilities of the force she had never learned or even considered using before that point.

Along with members of the Black Fire Brigade, a recently re-activated detachment of the Summit Guards, a good handful of Cassandra's closest friends whom were in the Taldryan Military chose to join the front lines of the Shattered Fields as well and fight alongside her with other Taldryanites that had gone as well. Taldryan itself held itself directly in the vanguard of the assaulting forces from the various clans, demonstrating its commitment to following the will of the throne.

A catastrophy would nearly occur however when herself, Shanree, and several others would break off from the front lines to traverse the Corpse Fields and get around to the backside of a massive fort which stood in the way of the main forces. This tactic had been considered by the Children, and an empowered force was sent to face off against them. The battle was grim from the start and as it went on, it looked as if they were all going to fall there. Channeling a newly invigorated level of the Force that had entered her body, Cassandra conjured a massive Force Storm into the sky. The enemy forces fell by the dozens, some of the bolts nearly taking down Shanree as well. He, however, as a [[starwars:Miraluka|Miraluka]] who could see with the Force, saw that this power was about to overwhelm and consume her. In a rather brash and selfish move, he dodged numerous bolts as he sprinted to her and dove into her, disrupting the flow of the storm and bringing it to an end.

=== Realization ===
Ultimately the tactic succeeded as the group reached the rear of the fort and fought their way inside, opening the front to provide a path for the military forces to enter. Once the fort had fallen and the army passed through the fields, only the Fortress of the Unchained which served as the Children of Mortis' base of operations, stood before them.

Easily this proved to be the most difficult part of the battle, though one perk of the fortress being similar to a massive castle, there were plenty of open windows for enemies to be telekinetically thrown out. Or, at times when she was empowered, making a window to throw them out using their bodies as hammers.

Deep within the fortress she came across a massive crystalline rancor, and saw [[Clan Plagueis]]' [[Consul]] [[Selika_Roh|Selika Roh]] and [[Alaris Jinn]], also from Plagueis, about to enter combat with it. She lept down from the balcony where she had just thrown several others out of a nearby window and offered to assist with the endeavor. After a significant fight of which the hard crystals of the rancor proved nearly indestructible, the three who each had a mastery of telekinetic powers, worked in tandem in a triangular formation and together telekinetically crushed the rancor. The three returned to their rightful assault forces and continued the fight. It was not long before the fortress was nearly overwhelmed, and victory was in reach.

After the fortress had fallen, a fall-back order was given by [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Dacien Victae]] to depart the realm with victory secured. With ships unusable, it was a long journey back to the portal. Once back on the outside, the Taldryan forces began to regroup and take count. It was at this point Cassandra noticed she was unable to sense the others that had came with her, and upon checking the casualty logs from the Medic Corps, fell aghast at what she saw. All seven of her military friends whom had joined her, had perished in various stages of the advance to the fortress.

=== Hero? ===
During the journey back to Caelus, Cassandra's thoughts did nothing but haunt her. *She* was the reason they were dead. The reason they were even with the vanguard to begin with, as none of them had ever been part of a front-line force before. They wouldn't have been there if not for her, and they would have been safe.

This was made worse for her after they had returned to the Caelus system to thunderous applause from the Republic, word having reached them first of her being declared a ''Hero of the War'''. To her, she was no hero. She knew she went into the war in a completely naive manner, something she should have instead ran through the military leadership and let them coordinate with her help. Instead, now she was being celebrated while the families of her friends mourned. Taldryanites toasted with her, while her friends never would again. Her mind continuously began to spiral downward, and as new issues and threats arose, she began to question herself and her choices.

With the instability that sat in her mind, a [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] Inquisitor by the name of ''Anders'' was sent by newly placed [[Grand Master]] Dacien to keep an eye on things within the Taldryan Republic. Given the nature of the Senate's stance towards them, if Cassandra fell from grace, he would not allow Taldryan to secede from them. This was a legitimate threat as following the sudden disappearance of [[Appius Wight|Appius]], it had already been brought up by the Senate.

She was far enough off of her normal routine that after Erinyes had been promoted to the post of ''Emissary of the Brotherhood'', Anders manipulated the list of candidates to replace her and ensured his own rise to Vice-Chancellor. This act placed him directly where he could both watch Cassandra, and ensure there were no treasonous acts against the Brotherhood by the senate of which he now had full access to.

== The Kasiyan Blizzard (41 ABY) ==
Her concern now, putting his deceptive and own treasonous act to the side, was the upcoming alignment of [[Huracan]] and [[Grannus]] to cause an eclipse on Kasiya, which was predicted to bring a massive snowstorm to the moon. The rest she was able to sense was connected to her time being gone, with the mental consensus questioning where she had been all this time.

Initially within projections, a request was put out to the Brotherhood at large at the senate's request to see if any volunteers would be willing to assist with the fallout from these storms. This action made Cassandra chuckle, as up until now they wanted nothing to do with the Brotherhood. It was like pulling rancor teeth to get them to do anything involving them, but now that a crisis was on their doorstep they made the motion before even speaking to her about it. Luckily, she had already put out requests, and answers came from all across...even Taldryan's traditional adversary, [[Clan Arcona]].

As the planets aligned, shorltly after forces from each of the Clans had arrived including some from the Council itself, the storm struck Kasiya just as predicted. The intensity, however, was far more severe than anticipated. Grannus' alignment resulted in a massive volcanic shift on the two worlds. This spawned a massive storm in which the temperatures were predicted to fall low enough to freeze even oxygen itself on the surface. After learning that the forces helping with civilian evacuations would not have enough time to secure but at least 35% of them and restore maybe a quarter of the power to the city, Cassandra left her post in the safety of the Senate Complex against the orders of Senator Frei-Jar whom had opted to grab a hold of her to stop her. This act resulted in her telekinetically throwing him through the senate chamber doors and into the main hallway as she turned and left, Frei-Jar left cowering in fear. Cassandra made her way to Port Kasiya to try and use her skills in Telekinesis to hold the storm off and buy the teams as much time as she could.

When she arrived at the highest building on the western edge of the city wearing a weather-resistant armor suit, however, she was shocked to see an Arconan named [[Ruka Tenbriss Ya-ir]] already there and about to do the exact same thing. Joining forces, they projected their telekinetic powers into a wide net which held the giant black storm just to the west of the city.

The gambit worked, at least partially. The storm was slowed by their collective efforts but gradually continued to make its way toward Port Kasiya. As the temperature plummeted, the power within her suit did the same. In under an hour the storm was on the edge of the city, Ruka all but nearly frozen solid and Cassandra's armor power levels gone and her own temperature began to plummet. In an unusual act, former [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]] arrived from orbit and added his own power to the duo to further hold it back. Despite his request for her to back off now, Cassandra refused due to Ruka being incapacitated yet not realizing that Ruka was still channeling telekinesis despite being frozen and continued to push herself to her absolute limits.

In a last ditch effort, Muz used a power that forced energy from the Force and blasted the storm back several miles which bought them a significant amount more of time and warmed the air around them but drained his own energy significantly. Taking that moment to gain a breath, Cassandra pulled off her now useless helmet and gulped in the slightly warmer air as the air in the suit had become stagnant when the life support system failed.

Others who had arrived to provide general support, having sensed Ruka's condition, were shocked at the fact that someone from Taldryan showed concern for an Arconae before themself given the negative relations and standing between the two. As the storm began to rage closer once again, Cassandra checked the status and the rescue efforts were around 80%. Needing to buy a little more time she forced herself back up and requested that Ruka be taken to safety as she once again raised her arms to slow its advance with Muz doing the same. The Arconans did as she had asked and fled into the building below.

The pair gave them as long as they feasibly could, the temperature already down to deadly levels again, but at the limit rescue efforts had just been completed. Far above, the Allegiance Battle Group was actively working to try and forcefully separate the two planets to try and bring an end to the storms but the magnetic pull between the two proved to be far too strong even at full bombardment on Huracan's surface. With that, they bolted down into the building as the storm quickly raged over the building and began forming ice inside of the quickly closed door.

About an hour later, as the center of the gap between the two planets came into view, the storms briefly backed off from the city. An idea had come across Muz' mind after hearing what the fleet above was doing, and requested to be taken to their flagship. Cassandra happily obliged and together they traveled to the [Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet] Flagship, the ''Leviathan''. A significant amount of the crew was shocked to see a non-Taldryan on board, but they dared not question it.

At the same time, the eye of the storm began to close as Huracan came into view of the star, and an even more intense storm began to form. Muz once again forced energy from the Force, this time on a far larger scale with multiple others including the ship's [[starwars:Admiral|Admiral]] offering as well.

Using what he could muster, the orbit of Grannus began to shift away from Huracan before it was eventually in the same orbit line and speed as Perune. As they were separated, the magma bursts and eruptions ceased and all seemed to go calm on Grannus. Muz fell to one knee completely exhausted, while most of the others completely passed out except for Cassandra who barely kept herself conscious.

== The Regent, The Mandalorian, The Traditionalist (41-42 ABY) ==
It was not long before Zxyl took notice during a visit to [[Port Kasiya]] following the snowstorm that something was wrong. Without even speaking to Cassandra, he noticed she was not the same as she had been when they met on Ostara, discussed details of Caleria's advancement, bringing the Axios back online, or even during the war. Using some of his contacts, he found out exactly what was going on and how it weighed on her mind. His first thought was of just how naive and inexperienced she truly was to have gotten into that state, but it was not something he would say. It was something that he full well knew she understood and aimed at herself far more negatively than he could ever try to convey.

During a conversation with Dasha 'Talus' Jalus in his tongue of Mando'a, he was surprised when the nearby Cassandra whom was sitting at the riverfront, responded and added to the conversation in the same language. While fairly rusty, it was still very accurate. The conversation between Dasha and him moved elsewhere to a more private setting, but he eventually returned to the riverfront and spoke with her. He asked her how she came to know that language, to which she explained her past. How she came to be a foundling after her mother's death, eventually leaving the clan who had taken her in to be able and explore the galaxy.

From his experiences with her, he knew her dedication to Taldryan. He never acknowledged her position as the Supreme Chancellor, instead as what she would have been: the Consul of Clan Taldryan. Despite that position no longer existing, she still acted like she was much to his impressment. Even when the Senate acted against ideals of attributes that defined it, she always stood steadfast against them. She even put herself in harms way during the war for the Clan. Anyone else, he would never have done this. But, after some time Zxyl made her an offer: He gave her a heavily encrypted data chip that had a set of coordinates on it, and if she wanted his help in becoming stronger not just for herself but for Taldryan's benefit she was to meet him there. Quietly.

While she was reluctant to leave the Republic in Anders' hands, she knew that Taldryan had to come first. And at this point she was in no shape to lead it, much less defend it. Without a hesitating thought she accepted his offer and immediately began making preparations.

=== The Brutal Tutilage of Bes'uliik ===
The coordinates lead her to a secluded and well-hidden world known as Nau'ur. As her ship descended on a pre-programmed course set from within the data chip, the landscape she saw reminded her much of the ruins of [[starwars:Yavin_4|Yavin 4]]. It was an impressive, quiet world to be sure. Once on the ground, she walked to the main temple in an athletic style outfit and a large duffle bag with extra clothing, boots, her lightsabers, and other gear.

Once there, Zxyl welcomed her to the home of the Bes'uliik Mandalorians. She was the first outsider to ever set foot here, and warned she had better not make him regret it. From the start, the terms were laid out. She was to listen to every order she was given, to perform every task that was assigned, and maintain honor during it above all else. This would not be a problem for her, she thought. However, he then included that she was to relinquish her lightsabers for the duration and the usage of force powers was strictly prohibited. He explained that this was because Mandalorians in nature did not use either, and if she was to become stronger, she would have to do the same in proving herself worthy and capable.

Not a word was spoken before she had her lightsabers out and presented to him, the same doubtless and no hesitating demeanor she showed on Kasiya. With that done, the training had begun the same day. At the start, she had issues suppressing her force usage due to her skills and nature as a Marauder. Using the force was almost passive to her, and learning to turn it off proved to be the most difficult task at that point.

Training would go through several months, each day becoming more and more difficult with more asked of her. Some tasks that would frighten, scare, or break normal people she powered through with incredible levels of resolve. Zxyl was nearly confident that she could probably face a [[starwars:Rancor|rancor]] down and probably still not flinch.

Just several days in she was forced to go head to head with six other Mandalorians in martial arts all at the same time immediately after having climbed a massive near-mile-high chasm wall deep within the depths of the forest. The time in which she had done so was already impressive as it was, but she managed to subdue four of the six before her stamina finally showed signs of real fatigue.

The battle was stopped at that point, much to Cassandra's surprise. He had learned exactly what he sought out to learn: her limits. Mentally, he knew them from his experience with her on Kasiya. With combat, that was another story with her prowess already being exceptionally high. At this point the real training would begin.

She was instructed by him personally when it came to the ideals, principles, and expectations of those who became Mandalorians under him. While not required to be to the same standards of which he held himself, such as never removing his helmet around others, she would have to uphold the ideals and principles. If she ever broke those, her life would be all but forfeit. He also taught her various types of philosophy, helping her bolster her mental strength. Drilled into her was the absolute fact that her strength and resolve would directly translate to the strength and resolve of Taldryan, and each time she stumbled it too would stumble. As a Consul, or 'Supreme Chancellor' he begrudgingly included, maintaining this was a baseline requirement as had been done by Consuls before her.

He also drilled into her that in war, people will die. Death is a fact of the galaxy and there is no stopping or preventing it, that even one day both him and her would die. When it came to moving forward, the most crucial step that the living could take was the honoring of the memories of the fallen and remembering them and what they stood for. In doing that, she could further increase her own resolve and strength by adding what they had given her in the time they knew each other.

With the physical aspects of the training, she was placed under the tutelage of other Mandalorians who had achieved mastery in different areas. Each day she trained herself in Martial Arts and hand-to-hand combat, ran miles on miles with the expectation of how much climbing each day, weight training with boulders and trees, and random tests on her knowledge of the Mandalorians and what Zxyl had been teaching her about their ideals and principles.

Several months would go by, and much as he had expected, she had not complained once. While she had faltered in the beginning, her skills and ability had sharpened. It was at this point he returned her lightsabers to her and began to train with her in lightsaber combat, knowing this was her strongest suit. When it came to ranged weaponry, she was not nearly as proficient compared to her close-quarters combat capabilities. She had also shown concern of what could occur within the Senate if it became known of what she was doing here, especially if she did pass the grueling tests being placed upon her.

Eventually, her skills with a lightsaber surpassed his own and on a regular basis he was bested when it came to dueling. Never once did she gloat, however, always eager to go again and have another match. Her abilities and skills had reached his own level, even exceeding it in several places. Without a doubt, she had easily become an elder-level combatant like himself.

[[File:Cassmastery.jpeg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra, with blonde hair, at the peak of her training after her sabers had been returned.]]

As a milestone test she once again was placed in combat against other Mandalorians after climbing the chasm in half of the time she did when she first attempted it, this time those fighting against her doubled to 16. One by one they were thrown to the ground, dodged, countered, and tripped, with not a single successful strike being made on her.

One of the nights after, Cassandra stared at herself in the mirror. She knew she had grown exponentially, both inside and out, but could not help but notice that to her she appeared the same visibly. In an act to definitively set upon the path she had now started to walk, she spent the next several hours bleaching her hair. It took several attempts to get the red out before finally she was left with a soft blonde color.

=== The Lady Second Reborn ===
It was already well into the start of 41 ABY before her training would be completed, nearly six months having passed. Cassandra was summoned before Zxyl at a large pool of water at a lake in the forest and presented with verd'goten. Where she had passed on it years ago, opting for a different life, she accepted it wholeheartedly and fully. While in the water, she recited the words of the Mandalorian Creed and became one of them.

Back at the temple, the two began to talk and discuss what would happen at this point. Zxyl told her that he would craft her a set of beskar armor, but knew that she would be unable to wear a traditional Mandalorian-style set, or openly bear any links to their clan as the fury of the Senate and the Republic would easily be directed at both him and the civilians within Caleria and on Ostara.

[[File:Cassbeskar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra arriving back in Port Kasiya in her Beskar Garb]]

He inquired if she had anything in mind to which she stated she had already thought ahead. She handed him a piece of parchment with a crudely drawn illustration of what the beskar armor could look like. It was divided into two sections, with cloth additions. The upper body, arms, and pauldrons would be in red with gold trim, and the lower body and gloves would be gold with dark gold trim. Attached to the pauldrons would be a red cloak with gold ornate trim and Taldryan's crest emblazoned on the back of it.

While it was not traditional, it was something he could work with as it was simple enough for her to actively and consistently wear. He internally acknowledged that she would not be exactly like him and the others, but if the time came she would be. Even then, she would without a doubt maintain the standards of the creed and continue to put Taldryan first as she always had before.

Several days later after continuing with training at her own behest, this time using the force to become reacquainted with it, she was once again summoned and presented with her armor and helmet. Much to her amazement, it was a solid fit just like a glove on her hand. And with that, she bid them farewell for now and began her journey back to Kasiya.

== The Fortress Cloudhaven and the Nightmare ==
Upon her return to Port Kasiya, work began to catch up on things that had fallen behind while she was gone. Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, had gone missing during an expedition to Mount Arreat and a team was dispatched with a recently returned Erinyes at the lead. As she looked into Cloudhaven more and more, however, she noticed that a significant amount of data in regards to it which had been secured behind a Chancellor-Eyes-Only access level had been deleted. Deleted by her predecessor, Lord First Appius Wight.

Status updates over the next week regularly came into her private office about what was occurring during the mission, the discovery of Karufr City, Anders' apprehension by the droids and security services that guarded the city, and their efforts at negotiating his release. Data from the city's archive was discreetly sent to her by the Governor of Karufr City, from which she learned a significant amount.

Mysteriously, aid and support from Port Kasiya had ceased despite continued requests and previous support having been given by the Chancellor's office. The frequency used to communicate had even been blacklisted across the entire city. The shield, even, which had been used to protect the city also masked it from the outside world.

[[File:Cassregal.jpeg|thumb|right|250px|Cassandra in one of her clothing sets, sitting upon the Chancellor's Throne.]]

Construction of Karufr City had been initiated by Appius, as a way to honor Taldryan's legacy before he evolved it into a Republic. Did he have doubts about what he had done, despite the shift in policy towards a people's Taldryan? Did he have fears of what the senate could potentially do given the rise of the Traditionalists with Zxyl at the lead? Already she had begun to align herself with some of the ideals of the Traditionalists after learning much about Taldryan's past the she had not known before, going back to its formation from a House decades prior. Knowing that, and looking at what the Senate now strived to do, she began to doubt their actions were for the benefit of Taldryan but instead for themselves.

Stranger even was the sudden stop of everything Appius had been doing there. The regular reports he input on an almost daily basis ceased on the same day he disappeared from Port Kasiya just hours before the Vote of No Confidence. Even the timeline of information regarding Karufr City being deleted matched up almost exactly, to a scary level of precision. Could the Senate have orchestrated his disappearance and the data being removed? It didn't make sense, but something was going on without a doubt.

An emergency signal was received from Erinyes and the team in Karufr City before she could delve any deeper. The droids and the defenses within the city had turned on them and the city security force for no reason, and the team narrowly escaped with their lives and Anders in tow. Overhearing conversations over the security officers' comms, it was ascertained that the droids had come from the Taldryan Great Hall; the capital building of Karufr City. Upon looking over the schematics of the city, a startling fact was realized. The Great Hall was the summit of the former Cloudhaven Fortress and was the main access to the heated and radioactive core of it.

With droids having been seen down on lower floors before, and the droid invasion occurring from there, she realized that something was happening within the fortress. Given the risk of the Senate's involvement in everything surrounding the city, she decided to have her newly appointed Magistrate, [[Alaisy Tir’eivra]], coordinate the quiet forming of a task force made up of non-military assets to investigate Cloudhaven Fortress. And she, eager to see if anything could be found regarding Appius' disappearance could be found there, would be going with.

[[File:Cassandrabar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra at a Port Kasiya bar, talking to Anders from his POV.]]

While the mission was being planned out, Cassandra invited Anders out for a drink which seemingly caught him off guard. After what he had done, he half expected to be chastized from one corner of Port Kasiya to the other. Instead, it was the exact opposite as she desired to get to know him better. Since what he had done was binding, and only an act of the Senate could undo it, if it were found out the Council would greatly frown upon him and probably pull him from the assignment and put him on Hoth. He couldn't argue that. So, the compromise was, they get to know each other better and he never try and circumvent her like that again. Reluctantly, he agreed though he couldn't help but sense she was fishing for something though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

In actuality, she was legitimately trying to make things as efficient as possible and her attempt was indeed sincere. She wanted to give no reasons or credence to specific nightmares that had begun to plague her in her sleep. Ever since when she had begun questioning the senate, and learning what Taldryan truly meant from Zxyl, she had doubts that they were acting in the best interests of it. But instead, for their own interests. The nightmare came as a nuclear scenario, as she stormed the Senate Complex with the full force of the Summit Guard and Cohors at her back. Naturally, the Senate Guard stood in opposition as their sole duty was the protection of the Senate, but the strength they had paled in comparison.

[[File:Cassnightmare.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra's nightmare where she assaulted the Senate Complex with her forces.]]

One after the other, the Senators and guards fell until eventually the complex was purged. At that point, she united the various cities and groups around Kasiya, and as Consul, restored Taldryan back to its original Clan status like it had existed before Appius. What concerned her the most, and the most vivid aspect of it all, was the orange eyes she had. The orange eyes of one who has fallen from grace as a Jedi. She needed to do all she could to avoid that scenario, even if it was just a nightmare and nothing more. History often was doomed to repeat itself, and she would not risk the lives of Taldryan people.

== The Dalicron War ==
=== Diplomatic Incident ===
In early 42 ABY, rumors had started to reach the Republic about a surge in power from a political entity known as the [[The Human League|Human League]]. Similarly to the events of Saijo, the Senate was apprehensive to push forward with anything in an effort to keep Taldryan distanced.

Even when reports crossed Cassandra's desk all but confirming the League's rise to power and the anticipated takeover of the [[starwars:Dalicron_Sector|Dalicron Sector]], all efforts to try and fend off the future threat that they could pose fell upon deaf ears. It wasn't until they started to reach the outer edges of the Western sector and blockaded the Frelos system world of ''Trexxa'' that she was able to convince them to allow her to send a diplomatic envoy to try and negotiate a cease fire.

Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, however would not let her attend in fear of what could happen. To him, the leader of the Republic had no business being in the middle of a war zone. As much as she disagreed with his thoughts, she knew he was correct. At that point, she remained behind on Kasiya while Anders lead the diplomatic team to Trexxa to meet with the Deputy-Leader of the League, General Kael Durran. In the middle of a Senate meeting, reports came that something had gone wrong.

She was in disbelief at what was coming back, even the video, showing the group assaulting the interior of Durran's Star Destroyer. Almost immediately she was summoned to an emergency meeting of the Administration Council where everything was being gathered and reviewed. The amount of regret she was beginning to feel as a diplomat, letting someone who was inexperienced in its virtues and mannerisms take point. More so, the anger in learning just who the team was that Anders had gathered for that particular mission. In an unsurprising move, the Council's Vice-Chair Frei-Jar Binks, proposed a resolution that would remove Anders from his position as Vice-Chancellor of the [[Taldryan Republic]].

In a way to pass off the anger and re-focus herself, she invited [[Ood Bnar]] from [[Clan Arcona]] to assist with investigating a strange white infection that was growing outward from the '''Forceless Forest''' into the '''Jagd Wastes''' on the western side of the moon. While investigating it, Anders had returned from Trexxa with the team and a family from the surface of Trexxa who was going to testify before the Senate about what the League was doing. [[Zuza Lottson]] also had travelled to [[Kasiya]] after sensing the high amounts of anger that Cassandra was housing within her. Cassandra was unable to hold back her rage and went off on Anders in front of everyone. That rage only grew after he explained his team selections were based on the assumption that they were going to be betrayed, and there was no intentions of going into negotiations.

It was at that point that Cassandra broke the news that he was no longer Vice-Chancellor because of his actions during this mission, which all but guaranteed that Taldryan was now going to war whether or not anyone liked it. As he accepted it and prepared to leave, she instead offered him his old post of Director of the Office of Secret Intelligence back. While he did not have political finesse, he did know what he was doing when it came to shadow work. So it made sense to put him back where they could use him most. Following that discussion and after Cassandra went on towards the Forceless Forest by herself, Zuza followed so they could have a discussion and she could help re-balance her mental state.

=== The Drums of War ===
As she had unfortunately predicted, the Senate voted to move the Taldryan Republic into war against the Human League. With Anders out as Vice-Chancellor, Cassandra went a rather unorthodox route in proposing the Ood becoming his replacement. This was met with some questions, particularly from elder members of Taldryan, but after it was seen just how he operated as a Jedi and that his loyalties would be without question, he became widely accepted. While things would start off strong, machinations were occurring within the Senate that would bring things to a halt.

Much to Cassandra's surprise, several special resolutions were adopted by the Senate and co-ratified by the Administration Council that would establish the creation of a '''Neutral Zone''' which separated the Seitia and Saijo Sectors from Dalicron as well as prohibit the advancement of any Taldryan Republic aligned forces from going beyond its inner borders. This greatly frustrated the Naval Fleet Admiralty, as well as both the Kingdom of Saijo and the Seitian Federation as this meant the Human League's forces were able to conduct strike incursions into the zone and then retreat back out, knowing they could not be chased.

Despite her protests to both bodies of government, all of her attempts to have these overridden or modified fell upon deaf ears. Even when she showed them evidence gathered by the Office of Secret Intelligence that the League had established resupply and staging outposts on worlds just beyond the zone's boundaries, there was not enough support to shift their opinions.

Relations between herself and Zxyl Bes'uliik, who had retired from the post of [[Regent]] and returned to the Republic to lead the Traditionalist efforts, began to deteriorate as Anti-Traditionalist sentiment started to grow within the Republic. He had also levied against her that she was losing control of the situation, and that it was her responsibility to maintain peace within Taldryan. Assuring him she was doing her best, Zxyl warned her that if she did not get the job done properly that he would do so himself. To that end, she proposed sending her own Summit Guard and her forces to the front lines to strike at the outposts beyond the zone if he did the same with the Traditionalist Fleet, something that he easily agreed to.

While this worked out initially, for reasons she was unable to explain the sentiments against them continued to grow to the point where attacks against civilians began to occur in the streets and riots would break out targeting Traditionalist-aligned citizens. Mysterious shipping delays appeared to Traditionalist-aligned worlds, security checkpoint times drastically increased for their ships, and supply shortages suddenly appeared for things that there should never have been shortages for. The Administration Council Vice-Chair, Frei-Jar Binks, promised to help her try and solve what was going on and bring things back to a solid order.

== Chancellor's Fall ==
=== Perune Shipyard Attack ===
Despite Senator Binks' promises, the situation within the Taldryan Republic continued to deteriorate at an accelerated pace. No matter what she attempted to push within the Senate, they were constantly locked within committees and arguing amongst themselves about the rising conflicts from the Traditionalists and the Loyalists that their own constituents were facing.

Even while they deliberated, the Traditionalist Fleet sat overhead Kasiya with the Loyalist Fleet right in their face. Tensions were higher than they ever had been, and it would take only a spark to descend Taldryan into full Civil War.

Cassandra felt she had no choice but to enter the fray herself after a terrorist bombing took place at the Perune Naval Shipyards, which had targeted the Ostaran section. She journeyed there with Director Anders, the former Vice-Chancellor, to investigate. Initially they had found traces which indicated several engine components of different freighters had been tampered with, but Anders had noticed something strange.

The plasma casings which had been tampered with seemed to have gone off prematurely, as by his calculations just thirty seconds later it would have caused a catastrophic depressurization which would have obliterated that entire side of the shipyards. With his assistance, they examined the Dockmaster's files to see what they could find since he had perished in the blast, and her skin went cold. There was a encrypted message, locked behind Level 8 access. Access permitted to only herself, and the members of the Administration Council. Using her access codes, they were able to unencrypt the message:

*''“Chief Engineer Rozovian, it is a pleasure to reach out to you again. As we had discussed prior, chaos break is now authorized. Make sure once the corvette is destroyed and the western wing is crippled to disable life support and the force field grid. Attached is the schematic file for the electrical device that needs to be connected to the interior of each plasma casing, with timing settings. As per normal, make sure to delete this message using the same encryption code I gave you before. Do not fail me. The final stage is set, and our time has come. For the Empire.”''

That message was signed by none other than Senator Binks. It took her a bit to digest what she was reading, with Anders trying to wrap his head around it himself. She realized that he had been the one manipulating everything the last several years, and had been undermining her every move. Immediately she thought back to their last discussion before she left Kasiya, asking him to make sure that there was a peaceful transition with the Traditionalists, to which he assured her there would be.

Leaving her encryption codes with Anders, she ordered him to access the Senate mainframe and find out anything else he could before trying to stop the fleets from engaging each other. She knew the Administration Council meeting was coming up soon, and with Binks' intentions fully in the open, all it would take is his order to initiate attack against the Traditionalists to seal Taldryan's fate.

Zxyl would not stand by quietly, she knew that for a fact. She had considered giving Ood and the rest of the summit a heads up about what was happening, however opted against it just in case communications were to be intercepted by the operatives at the Senate Complex. She could not afford them being given a heads up that she was on her way. At the very least she was able to notify the rest of the Summit Guard that they were needed by using a special sound frequency of a Kasiyan bird that only they were familiar with. Her heart began to race the more she considered this, what she was about to do. For far too long, she has had nightmares about this very scenario...something she prayed would never come to fruition.

She discreetly contacted Jorm Na'trej, the Chancellor of [[Chyron]], and explained the situation. While under normal circumstances she would never trust him, she knew he would gladly step in and be a thorn between the two fleets.

=== Assault on the Taldryan Senate Complex ===
Upon reaching the Senate Complex grounds, Cassandra disembarked from her shuttle along with her Summit Guard whom came from other shuttles that had landed. The Senate guard was taken aback by this, confronting her as she approached the Administration Building.

Cassandra requested an audience with Frei-Jar Binks, to which they denied her access not just due to the fact that the council was in session, but that she had brought her own guard with her and was armed. Two things which were expressly forbidden within the grounds, as the Senate Guard had full operational jurisdiction there. When she tried to persuade them, blasters were raised as they ordered her to leave the grounds or be shot.

Tears fell from her eyes as her lightsabers fell from her robes into her hands, igniting as they were gripped. The first few bolts were deflected back at the front guards, with the Summit Guard opening fire on the remainder. The doors of the Administration Building opened as additional reinforcements began moving up. With Cassandra at the lead, it was quick to make it inside the main doors. A bottleneck had already formed however, with Senate Guards on the upper balconies of the entranceway hall. While initially she thought it was going to be a difficult path forward, much like her nightmare, the Summit Guard was already completely overwhelming the far-less trained and specialized Senate Guard.

At this point, there was no going back. Her nightmare had now come full circle.

{{Quote|Without honor, we are nothing but savages. Without loyalty, nothing but betrayers. It is these two virtues that make us who we are, and without them, make us who we should never be.| Cassandra Tyris}}

'''Cassandra Oriana Tyris''' is the '''Supreme Chancellor''' of the [[Taldryan Republic]], and a former '''Senator''' for the city of '''Caleria''' on the Republic capital world of [[Kasiya]]. She is the second to hold this station, and often times is referred to by the title given to her because of that: '''Lady Second'''. She is also a member of the '''Taldrya''', having been recently inducted into their roll after the constant and selfless devotion to the Republic.

== Early History (Birth - 40 ABY) ==
Remembering very little about her childhood's younger years, the first memories that Cassandra can recall were when she was discovered by a group of [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] warriors who were passing through an area that had been ravaged by an [[starwars:Imperial Remanant|Imperial Remnant]] group. They had found her with to the body of a woman, assumed to be her mother. At the time, according to them, she was no more than six years old. The area clearly had been destroyed a significant time ago, and even in a famished fatigued state, the young girl stood firmly against the Mandalorians with a spear in hand to defend her mother's corpse. Impressed by her bravery and resilience, they took her in as a foundling and raised her as their own on the ruined planet of [[starwars:Concord_Dawn|Concord Dawn]].

Growing up within the Mandalorian culture, she learned the importance of honor, strength, and loyalty. She was trained in the art of combat and became a skilled warrior in her own right. She quickly rose in both practical and intellectual knowledge, physical strength, and mastery of the [[Martial_Arts_Forms#Mandalorian_Core|Mandalorian Core]] martial art all by the age of 10 which earned the respect of her fellow Mandalorians.

Despite her loyalty to the Mandalorian way of life, the young girl had a deep desire to explore the galaxy and see what else was out there. When she reached the age of 13, Cassandra participated in her clan's rite of passage: ''verd'goten''. She was tested on everything she had learned, besting many of the more seasoned Mandalorians within the clan, and eventually was proclaimed an adult in their eyes. As an adult, she was given the choice to become a full Mandalorian, but she instead chose to leave the Mandalorians and embarked on a journey of self-discovery.

Upon her departure, she was given a [[starwars:beskar|beskar]] necklace which had a crest hanging from it with a symbol of a [[starwars: Quenker|Quenker]], the creature of which she had rescued a cub from when it was separated from its family and spent nearly a month to find its family and return it. On the same necklace was a purple and white pendant that she was told she had been found with, opening to reveal a quote inside: '"My stars, my life, I love you always and forever my precious Cassandra Oriana. - Alana Tyris, Mom"'

She had a name. Cassandra Oriana...Tyris. With bittersweet goodbyes, she made her way off of Concord Dawn and began exploring the galaxy. Compared to what she had been used to, it was a vast and endless place both with its positives, and its negatives.

=== Taldryan Days (36-40 ABY) ===
After many years of traveling the stars, journeying from system to system, she found herself on the moon [[Ostara]] in 36 ABY, a bustling world known for its diversity and tolerance. There, she became involved in local politics and began advocating for the rights of citizens who were often marginalized and overlooked by the ruling clan of [[Taldryan]]. Her efforts on behalf of the people of Ostara earned her a reputation as a passionate and effective advocate. She was eventually appointed as an advocate to the Taldryan leadership within the Citadel, the clan's base of operations, for the citizens and she worked tirelessly to improve the lives of those around her.

As her influence grew, an event known as the [[Elysia]] Incident occurred which resulted in solar flares from the Caelus Star striking the moon and severely disrupting its magnetic field. Organizing as many civilian transports as she could, Cassandra assisted in the evacuation of the world but inevitably she was unable to escape before ion storms engulfed the skies, destroying several transports already ascending towards space and preventing anyone else from leaving.

[[File:Casstraining.png|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra learning the art of Vaapad.]]

With the moon trapped in perpetual darkness, the only light coming from the constant storms far above in the atmosphere, Cassandra worked closely with the remaining Taldryan members and civilians that were still there to try and mete out a life for themselves. Most electronics fried, and it was several months before reinforced generators could be constructed and the first fringes of power restored to the Citadel. It had been noticed that she was force sensitive, something that priorly had been overlooked, during an attack on the Citadel ruins by a pack of rancor that intruded from the forest.

As one of them had moved towards a group of children, Cassandra placed herself between the group and the rancor and in her anger somehow had sent it staggering backwards with a deep indent in its chest. It had struggled to breathe, before it finally dropped to the ground and was dead. Upon seeing this, one of the [[Force Disciple|Force Disciples]] that was present on Ostara took her under his wing and helped teach her how to control her power and harness it. He also taught her the exquisite lightsaber art of [[Lightsaber_Forms#Form_8_-_Vaapad|Vaapad]], using his own force powers to help in hardening her emotions and mind to master it.

Several years passed before the [[Regent]] of the Brotherhood, [[Zxyl Taldrya]], managed to get through the ion storms. She was happy to learn that nearly everyone who had fled Ostara had survived. Upon being given the option to remain on Ostara or travel to the new capital on the moon [[Kasiya]], she chose to go. She knew those still there would be fine, as they all had gained immense strength and capabilities over those dark years, and wanted to work towards the betterment of the now reformed [[Taldryan Republic]] as a whole.

Shortly after arriving on Kasiya in 40 ABY and diving right into life as an advocate, she gained the attention of the leaders of the city of Caleria where she was living. They recognized not just her talent, but many of them remembered her and her efforts on Ostara years ago. She was asked to become a Senator for Caleria, to represent them and their interests within the Taldryan Senate.

At first, she was hesitant to take on such a responsibility. But after much reflection, she realized that this was an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of millions of people. She accepted the position and after moving to the capital of [[Port Kasiya]] she began her new role with passion and dedication.

As a senator, she worked to strengthen the ties between Port Kasiya and Caleria, as well as improve relations with the neighboring moon of [[Chyron]]. She also pushed for legislation that would help subsidize homes for the city's homeless population in Holmes, protect the environment, and promote sustainable practices. Despite facing opposition and criticism from some of her fellow senators, she remained steadfast in her beliefs and continued to fight for what she thought was right.

Over time, she became one of the most respected and influential politicians on Kasiya. Her leadership and dedication earned her the nickname '''"The People's Senator."''' Looking back on her life, she knew that she had come a long way from her humble beginnings as a foundling. She was proud of the person she had become and knew that her journey was far from over.

== Dark Whirlwinds (41 ABY) ==
=== The Second Chancellor ===
In early 41 ABY, [[starwars:Supreme_Chancellor|Supreme Chancellor]] and '''Lord First''' [[Appius Wight]] brought a motion before the senate to assist in the defense of the [[starwars:Saijo_sector|Saijo Sector]] directly to the south of their sector. Pirates had somehow managed to break through the extensive defensive perimeter that the Saijo monarchy had established along their southern border with the [[starwars:Kallea_sector|Kallea Sector]]. As part of his argument for supporting the assault, he warned what could happen should the pirates overtake the system as Taldryan's own home sector was next in their path. This was especially emphasized due to the mysterious disappearance of the '''Vice-Chancellor''' and Naval [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] [[Teebu Nyrrire]], which had already greatly weakened their naval offensive and defensive capabilities.

Despite the warnings, the senate overwhelmingly voted against their involvement in the war, as in their eyes there was not enough evidence to support any credence that the pirates would indeed move further north. Already they were far outside of their normal areas and for decades Saijo had blockaded every form of supply route that could have benefited Kallea, particularly the Corellian Trade Spine, and constantly authorized assaults into their territories. The citizens of Caleria were equally apprehensive and desired nothing more than to focus on themselves for now and continue finding ways to try and get back to Ostara, since all support in doing so from the Republic itself had all but faded. Due to this, Cassandra voted against joining the war as well.

She was stunned when barely a few days later word had reached her offices back in Caleria that the Supreme Chancellor had ignored the will of the senate and dispatched the [[Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet]] to assist the Saijo monarchy in fighting back the pirates. Almost immediately the senate called an emergency session with '''War Marshal''' [[Lee Starr]] presiding in the absence of both Chancellors. While many could understand the reasonings behind what he had done, many of the other senators could not get over the singular fact of the issue: he disobeyed a direct senate mandate. Finally, the senator of [[Chyron]] brought the motion for a [[starwars:Vote_of_No_Confidence|Vote of No Confidence]] in the Lord First's leadership. It fell largely against the expected lines, with Chyron and other Calerian senators all voting in favor, while most of [[Elysia]]'s and Kasiya's senators voted against it. Cassandra was one of just a few Calerian senators to vote against it, favoring instead severe sanctions against his office, given everything he had accomplished and done for the Republic. It came down to a solid tie, in which the War Marshal concurred with those voting in favor of his removal.

When the fleet returned, Appius had closed himself up in his office while the newly returned Vice-Chancellor Nyrrire assumed his post in leading the senate. When votes came up on who should be nominated to succeed him as the '''Second Chancellor''', [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Teebu Nyrrire of the Naval Fleet, nominated himself as he already had the post of Vice-Chancellor and direct succession made the most sense. However, before the vote could take place, once again the Chyron delegation stood against it. They cited his disappearance and the sudden appearance of damning evidence that he had been working with the main adversary of the Taldryan Republic, the [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]] as one of their officers the near half-year he had been gone. The cries to instead vote for another, similarly, were more vocal than anything else. Once Nyrrire retired himself from the chamber, the most prominent names went up. [[Jorm_"The_Jester"_Na'trej|Jorm Na'trej]], who was the Chancellor of Chyron, War Marshal Lee Starr of the Taldryan Strategic Operations Council, '''Koda Kendis''' the Chancellor of Elysia, among four others. Coming as a shock to both herself and a few others, Cassandra's name was thrown up alongside theirs.

Once her name was up the deliberations were not long before a vote was held and it was a close race between herself and Jorm Na'trej, the others trailing far behind. Ultimately, however, she pulled ahead in the later hours and the gap only grew. By the evening of the same day that both of the former Chancellors had been all but removed from power, she was now to assume the role of the Second Chancellor and '''Lady Second''', as the Taldryan Republic's new Supreme Chancellor.

=== Disappearances and a Mock War ===
The next day as she assumed her post and had her belongings transferred to '''Taldryan Tower''', she was stunned to find everything from her predecessor was gone. His quarters cleared out. His office was barren except for the large furniture that had been present before. Everything that could have indicated anyone had even been in this office was gone, leaving the illusion that she herself was the first to be there. Upon requesting an inquiry, she found out that Appius had disappeared from the city without so much as a word after the vote to remove him had taken place. Nyrrire, as well, had gone missing though the [[Office of Secret Intelligence]] had obtained evidence that he had been kidnapped by unknown renegades. Only one of his twin lightsabers remained and now was in her possession.

Initially she brought on the Elysian Chancellor, Koda Kendis, as her Vice-Chancellor but his longing for his home as well as the constant bustle of the bureaucracy proved to be not for him and she gracefully allowed him to return home. Following that, she identified someone who had served Taldryan in the past: The last Consul, [[Seraine_"Erinyes"_Taldrya_Ténama|Seraine "Erinyes" Ténama]].

Strangely enough, it wasn't her who sought Erinyes out but the exact opposite when Erinyes randomly visited Taldryan Tower to discuss the opening of a new vineyard in the northern reaches of the Karufr Lowlands. Excited about the prospect, the two traveled together to the area in question and started bonding over their love of wine. When Erin questioned where Koda was and how he was doing, Cassandra informed her of his recent resignation and that she stood alone at the summit. With everything that had happened to Taldryan the last several years, she made the decision to offer herself up to be the next Vice-Chancellor. The idea was brought before the Taldryan Republic Administrative Committee for a vote, and unanimously was approved. As was the vineyard, by Cassandra.

== [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]] (41 ABY) ==
=== The First Signs of Fracture ===
Late in 41 ABY, a heavily encrypted communication was sent by [[Grand Master]] [[Evant Taelyan]] directly to Cassandra's office. Up until this point, the Brotherhood had been fairly quiet aside from occasional requests for materials and goods, and this act was something that initially worried her. The Republic Senate held a strong stance against the Brotherhood, wanting to stand on its own two feet away from them. She, however, understood the connections between Taldryan and the Brotherhood and still ensured they were involved as directly as they chose to be and that loyalty to the Iron Throne was maintained.

[[File:CassandraTyris.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra the night before the start of the War.]]

The communication was short, brisk, and to the point. Both Cassandra and the Taldryan military were to report to a specific set of coordinates where a 'gate' had been constructed which lead to where the Children of Mortis were hiding. The plan was to infiltrate their home region on the other side of the gate known as the [[Ethereal_Realm|Ethereal Realm]]. Initially she brought this before the Senate and overwhelmingly was denied in the taking of Taldryan resources and military strength to do nothing but be the Iron Throne's 'dog', but after reminding them of what happened to Taldryan's old home of [[Karufr]] at the hands of the Brotherhood's Iron Navy and that the Republic in its current form would not be able to withstand a direct assault, the vote again was held and passed.

It was at this point the Taldryan Republic had entered it's second war, the [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]].

=== The Ethereal Realm ===
Being new to this level of leadership as a Chancellor, Cassandra elected to join her forces on the front lines during the initial assaults into the realm. The realm itself was unique in that the force was extremely unstable when it came to the force. At times she was forced to rely on her own physical strength and endurance, while other times she could fight almost endlessly across the battlefield with unending haste and stamina as if someone had turned on a water tap and just left it running. Other times she was able to utilize abilities of the force she had never learned or even considered using before that point.

Along with members of the Black Fire Brigade, a recently re-activated detachment of the Summit Guards, a good handful of Cassandra's closest friends whom were in the Taldryan Military chose to join the front lines of the Shattered Fields as well and fight alongside her with other Taldryanites that had gone as well. Taldryan itself held itself directly in the vanguard of the assaulting forces from the various clans, demonstrating its commitment to following the will of the throne.

A catastrophy would nearly occur however when herself, Shanree, and several others would break off from the front lines to traverse the Corpse Fields and get around to the backside of a massive fort which stood in the way of the main forces. This tactic had been considered by the Children, and an empowered force was sent to face off against them. The battle was grim from the start and as it went on, it looked as if they were all going to fall there. Channeling a newly invigorated level of the Force that had entered her body, Cassandra conjured a massive Force Storm into the sky. The enemy forces fell by the dozens, some of the bolts nearly taking down Shanree as well. He, however, as a [[starwars:Miraluka|Miraluka]] who could see with the Force, saw that this power was about to overwhelm and consume her. In a rather brash and selfish move, he dodged numerous bolts as he sprinted to her and dove into her, disrupting the flow of the storm and bringing it to an end.

=== Realization ===
Ultimately the tactic succeeded as the group reached the rear of the fort and fought their way inside, opening the front to provide a path for the military forces to enter. Once the fort had fallen and the army passed through the fields, only the Fortress of the Unchained which served as the Children of Mortis' base of operations, stood before them.

Easily this proved to be the most difficult part of the battle, though one perk of the fortress being similar to a massive castle, there were plenty of open windows for enemies to be telekinetically thrown out. Or, at times when she was empowered, making a window to throw them out using their bodies as hammers.

Deep within the fortress she came across a massive crystalline rancor, and saw [[Clan Plagueis]]' [[Consul]] [[Selika_Roh|Selika Roh]] and [[Alaris Jinn]], also from Plagueis, about to enter combat with it. She lept down from the balcony where she had just thrown several others out of a nearby window and offered to assist with the endeavor. After a significant fight of which the hard crystals of the rancor proved nearly indestructible, the three who each had a mastery of telekinetic powers, worked in tandem in a triangular formation and together telekinetically crushed the rancor. The three returned to their rightful assault forces and continued the fight. It was not long before the fortress was nearly overwhelmed, and victory was in reach.

After the fortress had fallen, a fall-back order was given by [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Dacien Victae]] to depart the realm with victory secured. With ships unusable, it was a long journey back to the portal. Once back on the outside, the Taldryan forces began to regroup and take count. It was at this point Cassandra noticed she was unable to sense the others that had came with her, and upon checking the casualty logs from the Medic Corps, fell aghast at what she saw. All seven of her military friends whom had joined her, had perished in various stages of the advance to the fortress.

=== Hero? ===
During the journey back to Caelus, Cassandra's thoughts did nothing but haunt her. *She* was the reason they were dead. The reason they were even with the vanguard to begin with, as none of them had ever been part of a front-line force before. They wouldn't have been there if not for her, and they would have been safe.

This was made worse for her after they had returned to the Caelus system to thunderous applause from the Republic, word having reached them first of her being declared a ''Hero of the War'''. To her, she was no hero. She knew she went into the war in a completely naive manner, something she should have instead ran through the military leadership and let them coordinate with her help. Instead, now she was being celebrated while the families of her friends mourned. Taldryanites toasted with her, while her friends never would again. Her mind continuously began to spiral downward, and as new issues and threats arose, she began to question herself and her choices.

With the instability that sat in her mind, a [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] Inquisitor by the name of ''Anders'' was sent by newly placed [[Grand Master]] Dacien to keep an eye on things within the Taldryan Republic. Given the nature of the Senate's stance towards them, if Cassandra fell from grace, he would not allow Taldryan to secede from them. This was a legitimate threat as following the sudden disappearance of [[Appius Wight|Appius]], it had already been brought up by the Senate.

She was far enough off of her normal routine that after Erinyes had been promoted to the post of ''Emissary of the Brotherhood'', Anders manipulated the list of candidates to replace her and ensured his own rise to Vice-Chancellor. This act placed him directly where he could both watch Cassandra, and ensure there were no treasonous acts against the Brotherhood by the senate of which he now had full access to.

== The Kasiyan Blizzard (41 ABY) ==
Her concern now, putting his deceptive and own treasonous act to the side, was the upcoming alignment of [[Huracan]] and [[Grannus]] to cause an eclipse on Kasiya, which was predicted to bring a massive snowstorm to the moon. The rest she was able to sense was connected to her time being gone, with the mental consensus questioning where she had been all this time.

Initially within projections, a request was put out to the Brotherhood at large at the senate's request to see if any volunteers would be willing to assist with the fallout from these storms. This action made Cassandra chuckle, as up until now they wanted nothing to do with the Brotherhood. It was like pulling rancor teeth to get them to do anything involving them, but now that a crisis was on their doorstep they made the motion before even speaking to her about it. Luckily, she had already put out requests, and answers came from all across...even Taldryan's traditional adversary, [[Clan Arcona]].

As the planets aligned, shorltly after forces from each of the Clans had arrived including some from the Council itself, the storm struck Kasiya just as predicted. The intensity, however, was far more severe than anticipated. Grannus' alignment resulted in a massive volcanic shift on the two worlds. This spawned a massive storm in which the temperatures were predicted to fall low enough to freeze even oxygen itself on the surface. After learning that the forces helping with civilian evacuations would not have enough time to secure but at least 35% of them and restore maybe a quarter of the power to the city, Cassandra left her post in the safety of the Senate Complex against the orders of Senator Frei-Jar whom had opted to grab a hold of her to stop her. This act resulted in her telekinetically throwing him through the senate chamber doors and into the main hallway as she turned and left, Frei-Jar left cowering in fear. Cassandra made her way to Port Kasiya to try and use her skills in Telekinesis to hold the storm off and buy the teams as much time as she could.

When she arrived at the highest building on the western edge of the city wearing a weather-resistant armor suit, however, she was shocked to see an Arconan named [[Ruka Tenbriss Ya-ir]] already there and about to do the exact same thing. Joining forces, they projected their telekinetic powers into a wide net which held the giant black storm just to the west of the city.

The gambit worked, at least partially. The storm was slowed by their collective efforts but gradually continued to make its way toward Port Kasiya. As the temperature plummeted, the power within her suit did the same. In under an hour the storm was on the edge of the city, Ruka all but nearly frozen solid and Cassandra's armor power levels gone and her own temperature began to plummet. In an unusual act, former [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]] arrived from orbit and added his own power to the duo to further hold it back. Despite his request for her to back off now, Cassandra refused due to Ruka being incapacitated yet not realizing that Ruka was still channeling telekinesis despite being frozen and continued to push herself to her absolute limits.

In a last ditch effort, Muz used a power that forced energy from the Force and blasted the storm back several miles which bought them a significant amount more of time and warmed the air around them but drained his own energy significantly. Taking that moment to gain a breath, Cassandra pulled off her now useless helmet and gulped in the slightly warmer air as the air in the suit had become stagnant when the life support system failed.

Others who had arrived to provide general support, having sensed Ruka's condition, were shocked at the fact that someone from Taldryan showed concern for an Arconae before themself given the negative relations and standing between the two. As the storm began to rage closer once again, Cassandra checked the status and the rescue efforts were around 80%. Needing to buy a little more time she forced herself back up and requested that Ruka be taken to safety as she once again raised her arms to slow its advance with Muz doing the same. The Arconans did as she had asked and fled into the building below.

The pair gave them as long as they feasibly could, the temperature already down to deadly levels again, but at the limit rescue efforts had just been completed. Far above, the Allegiance Battle Group was actively working to try and forcefully separate the two planets to try and bring an end to the storms but the magnetic pull between the two proved to be far too strong even at full bombardment on Huracan's surface. With that, they bolted down into the building as the storm quickly raged over the building and began forming ice inside of the quickly closed door.

About an hour later, as the center of the gap between the two planets came into view, the storms briefly backed off from the city. An idea had come across Muz' mind after hearing what the fleet above was doing, and requested to be taken to their flagship. Cassandra happily obliged and together they traveled to the [Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet] Flagship, the ''Leviathan''. A significant amount of the crew was shocked to see a non-Taldryan on board, but they dared not question it.

At the same time, the eye of the storm began to close as Huracan came into view of the star, and an even more intense storm began to form. Muz once again forced energy from the Force, this time on a far larger scale with multiple others including the ship's [[starwars:Admiral|Admiral]] offering as well.

Using what he could muster, the orbit of Grannus began to shift away from Huracan before it was eventually in the same orbit line and speed as Perune. As they were separated, the magma bursts and eruptions ceased and all seemed to go calm on Grannus. Muz fell to one knee completely exhausted, while most of the others completely passed out except for Cassandra who barely kept herself conscious.

== The Regent, The Mandalorian, The Traditionalist (41-42 ABY) ==
It was not long before Zxyl took notice during a visit to [[Port Kasiya]] following the snowstorm that something was wrong. Without even speaking to Cassandra, he noticed she was not the same as she had been when they met on Ostara, discussed details of Caleria's advancement, bringing the Axios back online, or even during the war. Using some of his contacts, he found out exactly what was going on and how it weighed on her mind. His first thought was of just how naive and inexperienced she truly was to have gotten into that state, but it was not something he would say. It was something that he full well knew she understood and aimed at herself far more negatively than he could ever try to convey.

During a conversation with Dasha 'Talus' Jalus in his tongue of Mando'a, he was surprised when the nearby Cassandra whom was sitting at the riverfront, responded and added to the conversation in the same language. While fairly rusty, it was still very accurate. The conversation between Dasha and him moved elsewhere to a more private setting, but he eventually returned to the riverfront and spoke with her. He asked her how she came to know that language, to which she explained her past. How she came to be a foundling after her mother's death, eventually leaving the clan who had taken her in to be able and explore the galaxy.

From his experiences with her, he knew her dedication to Taldryan. He never acknowledged her position as the Supreme Chancellor, instead as what she would have been: the Consul of Clan Taldryan. Despite that position no longer existing, she still acted like she was much to his impressment. Even when the Senate acted against ideals of attributes that defined it, she always stood steadfast against them. She even put herself in harms way during the war for the Clan. Anyone else, he would never have done this. But, after some time Zxyl made her an offer: He gave her a heavily encrypted data chip that had a set of coordinates on it, and if she wanted his help in becoming stronger not just for herself but for Taldryan's benefit she was to meet him there. Quietly.

While she was reluctant to leave the Republic in Anders' hands, she knew that Taldryan had to come first. And at this point she was in no shape to lead it, much less defend it. Without a hesitating thought she accepted his offer and immediately began making preparations.

=== The Brutal Tutilage of Bes'uliik ===
The coordinates lead her to a secluded and well-hidden world known as Nau'ur. As her ship descended on a pre-programmed course set from within the data chip, the landscape she saw reminded her much of the ruins of [[starwars:Yavin_4|Yavin 4]]. It was an impressive, quiet world to be sure. Once on the ground, she walked to the main temple in an athletic style outfit and a large duffle bag with extra clothing, boots, her lightsabers, and other gear.

Once there, Zxyl welcomed her to the home of the Bes'uliik Mandalorians. She was the first outsider to ever set foot here, and warned she had better not make him regret it. From the start, the terms were laid out. She was to listen to every order she was given, to perform every task that was assigned, and maintain honor during it above all else. This would not be a problem for her, she thought. However, he then included that she was to relinquish her lightsabers for the duration and the usage of force powers was strictly prohibited. He explained that this was because Mandalorians in nature did not use either, and if she was to become stronger, she would have to do the same in proving herself worthy and capable.

Not a word was spoken before she had her lightsabers out and presented to him, the same doubtless and no hesitating demeanor she showed on Kasiya. With that done, the training had begun the same day. At the start, she had issues suppressing her force usage due to her skills and nature as a Marauder. Using the force was almost passive to her, and learning to turn it off proved to be the most difficult task at that point.

Training would go through several months, each day becoming more and more difficult with more asked of her. Some tasks that would frighten, scare, or break normal people she powered through with incredible levels of resolve. Zxyl was nearly confident that she could probably face a [[starwars:Rancor|rancor]] down and probably still not flinch.

Just several days in she was forced to go head to head with six other Mandalorians in martial arts all at the same time immediately after having climbed a massive near-mile-high chasm wall deep within the depths of the forest. The time in which she had done so was already impressive as it was, but she managed to subdue four of the six before her stamina finally showed signs of real fatigue.

The battle was stopped at that point, much to Cassandra's surprise. He had learned exactly what he sought out to learn: her limits. Mentally, he knew them from his experience with her on Kasiya. With combat, that was another story with her prowess already being exceptionally high. At this point the real training would begin.

She was instructed by him personally when it came to the ideals, principles, and expectations of those who became Mandalorians under him. While not required to be to the same standards of which he held himself, such as never removing his helmet around others, she would have to uphold the ideals and principles. If she ever broke those, her life would be all but forfeit. He also taught her various types of philosophy, helping her bolster her mental strength. Drilled into her was the absolute fact that her strength and resolve would directly translate to the strength and resolve of Taldryan, and each time she stumbled it too would stumble. As a Consul, or 'Supreme Chancellor' he begrudgingly included, maintaining this was a baseline requirement as had been done by Consuls before her.

He also drilled into her that in war, people will die. Death is a fact of the galaxy and there is no stopping or preventing it, that even one day both him and her would die. When it came to moving forward, the most crucial step that the living could take was the honoring of the memories of the fallen and remembering them and what they stood for. In doing that, she could further increase her own resolve and strength by adding what they had given her in the time they knew each other.

With the physical aspects of the training, she was placed under the tutelage of other Mandalorians who had achieved mastery in different areas. Each day she trained herself in Martial Arts and hand-to-hand combat, ran miles on miles with the expectation of how much climbing each day, weight training with boulders and trees, and random tests on her knowledge of the Mandalorians and what Zxyl had been teaching her about their ideals and principles.

Several months would go by, and much as he had expected, she had not complained once. While she had faltered in the beginning, her skills and ability had sharpened. It was at this point he returned her lightsabers to her and began to train with her in lightsaber combat, knowing this was her strongest suit. When it came to ranged weaponry, she was not nearly as proficient compared to her close-quarters combat capabilities. She had also shown concern of what could occur within the Senate if it became known of what she was doing here, especially if she did pass the grueling tests being placed upon her.

Eventually, her skills with a lightsaber surpassed his own and on a regular basis he was bested when it came to dueling. Never once did she gloat, however, always eager to go again and have another match. Her abilities and skills had reached his own level, even exceeding it in several places. Without a doubt, she had easily become an elder-level combatant like himself.

[[File:Cassmastery.jpeg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra, with blonde hair, at the peak of her training after her sabers had been returned.]]

As a milestone test she once again was placed in combat against other Mandalorians after climbing the chasm in half of the time she did when she first attempted it, this time those fighting against her doubled to 16. One by one they were thrown to the ground, dodged, countered, and tripped, with not a single successful strike being made on her.

One of the nights after, Cassandra stared at herself in the mirror. She knew she had grown exponentially, both inside and out, but could not help but notice that to her she appeared the same visibly. In an act to definitively set upon the path she had now started to walk, she spent the next several hours bleaching her hair. It took several attempts to get the red out before finally she was left with a soft blonde color.

=== The Lady Second Reborn ===
It was already well into the start of 41 ABY before her training would be completed, nearly six months having passed. Cassandra was summoned before Zxyl at a large pool of water at a lake in the forest and presented with verd'goten. Where she had passed on it years ago, opting for a different life, she accepted it wholeheartedly and fully. While in the water, she recited the words of the Mandalorian Creed and became one of them.

Back at the temple, the two began to talk and discuss what would happen at this point. Zxyl told her that he would craft her a set of beskar armor, but knew that she would be unable to wear a traditional Mandalorian-style set, or openly bear any links to their clan as the fury of the Senate and the Republic would easily be directed at both him and the civilians within Caleria and on Ostara.

[[File:Cassbeskar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra arriving back in Port Kasiya in her Beskar Garb]]

He inquired if she had anything in mind to which she stated she had already thought ahead. She handed him a piece of parchment with a crudely drawn illustration of what the beskar armor could look like. It was divided into two sections, with cloth additions. The upper body, arms, and pauldrons would be in red with gold trim, and the lower body and gloves would be gold with dark gold trim. Attached to the pauldrons would be a red cloak with gold ornate trim and Taldryan's crest emblazoned on the back of it.

While it was not traditional, it was something he could work with as it was simple enough for her to actively and consistently wear. He internally acknowledged that she would not be exactly like him and the others, but if the time came she would be. Even then, she would without a doubt maintain the standards of the creed and continue to put Taldryan first as she always had before.

Several days later after continuing with training at her own behest, this time using the force to become reacquainted with it, she was once again summoned and presented with her armor and helmet. Much to her amazement, it was a solid fit just like a glove on her hand. And with that, she bid them farewell for now and began her journey back to Kasiya.

== The Fortress Cloudhaven and the Nightmare ==
Upon her return to Port Kasiya, work began to catch up on things that had fallen behind while she was gone. Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, had gone missing during an expedition to Mount Arreat and a team was dispatched with a recently returned Erinyes at the lead. As she looked into Cloudhaven more and more, however, she noticed that a significant amount of data in regards to it which had been secured behind a Chancellor-Eyes-Only access level had been deleted. Deleted by her predecessor, Lord First Appius Wight.

Status updates over the next week regularly came into her private office about what was occurring during the mission, the discovery of Karufr City, Anders' apprehension by the droids and security services that guarded the city, and their efforts at negotiating his release. Data from the city's archive was discreetly sent to her by the Governor of Karufr City, from which she learned a significant amount.

Mysteriously, aid and support from Port Kasiya had ceased despite continued requests and previous support having been given by the Chancellor's office. The frequency used to communicate had even been blacklisted across the entire city. The shield, even, which had been used to protect the city also masked it from the outside world.

[[File:Cassregal.jpeg|thumb|right|250px|Cassandra in one of her clothing sets, sitting upon the Chancellor's Throne.]]

Construction of Karufr City had been initiated by Appius, as a way to honor Taldryan's legacy before he evolved it into a Republic. Did he have doubts about what he had done, despite the shift in policy towards a people's Taldryan? Did he have fears of what the senate could potentially do given the rise of the Traditionalists with Zxyl at the lead? Already she had begun to align herself with some of the ideals of the Traditionalists after learning much about Taldryan's past the she had not known before, going back to its formation from a House decades prior. Knowing that, and looking at what the Senate now strived to do, she began to doubt their actions were for the benefit of Taldryan but instead for themselves.

Stranger even was the sudden stop of everything Appius had been doing there. The regular reports he input on an almost daily basis ceased on the same day he disappeared from Port Kasiya just hours before the Vote of No Confidence. Even the timeline of information regarding Karufr City being deleted matched up almost exactly, to a scary level of precision. Could the Senate have orchestrated his disappearance and the data being removed? It didn't make sense, but something was going on without a doubt.

An emergency signal was received from Erinyes and the team in Karufr City before she could delve any deeper. The droids and the defenses within the city had turned on them and the city security force for no reason, and the team narrowly escaped with their lives and Anders in tow. Overhearing conversations over the security officers' comms, it was ascertained that the droids had come from the Taldryan Great Hall; the capital building of Karufr City. Upon looking over the schematics of the city, a startling fact was realized. The Great Hall was the summit of the former Cloudhaven Fortress and was the main access to the heated and radioactive core of it.

With droids having been seen down on lower floors before, and the droid invasion occurring from there, she realized that something was happening within the fortress. Given the risk of the Senate's involvement in everything surrounding the city, she decided to have her newly appointed Magistrate, [[Alaisy Tir’eivra]], coordinate the quiet forming of a task force made up of non-military assets to investigate Cloudhaven Fortress. And she, eager to see if anything could be found regarding Appius' disappearance could be found there, would be going with.

[[File:Cassandrabar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra at a Port Kasiya bar, talking to Anders from his POV.]]

While the mission was being planned out, Cassandra invited Anders out for a drink which seemingly caught him off guard. After what he had done, he half expected to be chastized from one corner of Port Kasiya to the other. Instead, it was the exact opposite as she desired to get to know him better. Since what he had done was binding, and only an act of the Senate could undo it, if it were found out the Council would greatly frown upon him and probably pull him from the assignment and put him on Hoth. He couldn't argue that. So, the compromise was, they get to know each other better and he never try and circumvent her like that again. Reluctantly, he agreed though he couldn't help but sense she was fishing for something though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

In actuality, she was legitimately trying to make things as efficient as possible and her attempt was indeed sincere. She wanted to give no reasons or credence to specific nightmares that had begun to plague her in her sleep. Ever since when she had begun questioning the senate, and learning what Taldryan truly meant from Zxyl, she had doubts that they were acting in the best interests of it. But instead, for their own interests. The nightmare came as a nuclear scenario, as she stormed the Senate Complex with the full force of the Summit Guard and Cohors at her back. Naturally, the Senate Guard stood in opposition as their sole duty was the protection of the Senate, but the strength they had paled in comparison.

[[File:Cassnightmare.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra's nightmare where she assaulted the Senate Complex with her forces.]]

One after the other, the Senators and guards fell until eventually the complex was purged. At that point, she united the various cities and groups around Kasiya, and as Consul, restored Taldryan back to its original Clan status like it had existed before Appius. What concerned her the most, and the most vivid aspect of it all, was the orange eyes she had. The orange eyes of one who has fallen from grace as a Jedi. She needed to do all she could to avoid that scenario, even if it was just a nightmare and nothing more. History often was doomed to repeat itself, and she would not risk the lives of Taldryan people.

== The Dalicron War ==
=== Diplomatic Incident ===
In early 42 ABY, rumors had started to reach the Republic about a surge in power from a political entity known as the [[The Human League|Human League]]. Similarly to the events of Saijo, the Senate was apprehensive to push forward with anything in an effort to keep Taldryan distanced.

Even when reports crossed Cassandra's desk all but confirming the League's rise to power and the anticipated takeover of the [[starwars:Dalicron_Sector|Dalicron Sector]], all efforts to try and fend off the future threat that they could pose fell upon deaf ears. It wasn't until they started to reach the outer edges of the Western sector and blockaded the Frelos system world of ''Trexxa'' that she was able to convince them to allow her to send a diplomatic envoy to try and negotiate a cease fire.

Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, however would not let her attend in fear of what could happen. To him, the leader of the Republic had no business being in the middle of a war zone. As much as she disagreed with his thoughts, she knew he was correct. At that point, she remained behind on Kasiya while Anders lead the diplomatic team to Trexxa to meet with the Deputy-Leader of the League, General Kael Durran. In the middle of a Senate meeting, reports came that something had gone wrong.

She was in disbelief at what was coming back, even the video, showing the group assaulting the interior of Durran's Star Destroyer. Almost immediately she was summoned to an emergency meeting of the Administration Council where everything was being gathered and reviewed. The amount of regret she was beginning to feel as a diplomat, letting someone who was inexperienced in its virtues and mannerisms take point. More so, the anger in learning just who the team was that Anders had gathered for that particular mission. In an unsurprising move, the Council's Vice-Chair Frei-Jar Binks, proposed a resolution that would remove Anders from his position as Vice-Chancellor of the [[Taldryan Republic]].

In a way to pass off the anger and re-focus herself, she invited [[Ood Bnar]] from [[Clan Arcona]] to assist with investigating a strange white infection that was growing outward from the '''Forceless Forest''' into the '''Jagd Wastes''' on the western side of the moon. While investigating it, Anders had returned from Trexxa with the team and a family from the surface of Trexxa who was going to testify before the Senate about what the League was doing. [[Zuza Lottson]] also had travelled to [[Kasiya]] after sensing the high amounts of anger that Cassandra was housing within her. Cassandra was unable to hold back her rage and went off on Anders in front of everyone. That rage only grew after he explained his team selections were based on the assumption that they were going to be betrayed, and there was no intentions of going into negotiations.

It was at that point that Cassandra broke the news that he was no longer Vice-Chancellor because of his actions during this mission, which all but guaranteed that Taldryan was now going to war whether or not anyone liked it. As he accepted it and prepared to leave, she instead offered him his old post of Director of the Office of Secret Intelligence back. While he did not have political finesse, he did know what he was doing when it came to shadow work. So it made sense to put him back where they could use him most. Following that discussion and after Cassandra went on towards the Forceless Forest by herself, Zuza followed so they could have a discussion and she could help re-balance her mental state.

=== The Drums of War ===
As she had unfortunately predicted, the Senate voted to move the Taldryan Republic into war against the Human League. With Anders out as Vice-Chancellor, Cassandra went a rather unorthodox route in proposing the Ood becoming his replacement. This was met with some questions, particularly from elder members of Taldryan, but after it was seen just how he operated as a Jedi and that his loyalties would be without question, he became widely accepted. While things would start off strong, machinations were occurring within the Senate that would bring things to a halt.

Much to Cassandra's surprise, several special resolutions were adopted by the Senate and co-ratified by the Administration Council that would establish the creation of a '''Neutral Zone''' which separated the Seitia and Saijo Sectors from Dalicron as well as prohibit the advancement of any Taldryan Republic aligned forces from going beyond its inner borders. This greatly frustrated the Naval Fleet Admiralty, as well as both the Kingdom of Saijo and the Seitian Federation as this meant the Human League's forces were able to conduct strike incursions into the zone and then retreat back out, knowing they could not be chased.

Despite her protests to both bodies of government, all of her attempts to have these overridden or modified fell upon deaf ears. Even when she showed them evidence gathered by the Office of Secret Intelligence that the League had established resupply and staging outposts on worlds just beyond the zone's boundaries, there was not enough support to shift their opinions.

Relations between herself and Zxyl Bes'uliik, who had retired from the post of [[Regent]] and returned to the Republic to lead the Traditionalist efforts, began to deteriorate as Anti-Traditionalist sentiment started to grow within the Republic. He had also levied against her that she was losing control of the situation, and that it was her responsibility to maintain peace within Taldryan. Assuring him she was doing her best, Zxyl warned her that if she did not get the job done properly that he would do so himself. To that end, she proposed sending her own Summit Guard and her forces to the front lines to strike at the outposts beyond the zone if he did the same with the Traditionalist Fleet, something that he easily agreed to.

While this worked out initially, for reasons she was unable to explain the sentiments against them continued to grow to the point where attacks against civilians began to occur in the streets and riots would break out targeting Traditionalist-aligned citizens. Mysterious shipping delays appeared to Traditionalist-aligned worlds, security checkpoint times drastically increased for their ships, and supply shortages suddenly appeared for things that there should never have been shortages for. The Administration Council Vice-Chair, Frei-Jar Binks, promised to help her try and solve what was going on and bring things back to a solid order.

'''Evelyn Wyvern''' is an assault pilot and part of [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]]. She was the Captain of an Assault Pilot Team, known as [[Siren Squadron]].

She is now currently a pilot and member of the [[Envoy Corps]]. In addition to her Envoy job, she's also a member of [[Wild Schutta]].

== Background ==

[[File:Evelynresize.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Young Evelyn with an old weapon]]

Born to noble and aristocratic family, Evelyn had high expectations bestowed on her. She was raised to be a politician or a politician's wife but much to her parents disappointment, Evelyn became anything but. Her life was full of dance classes, weapons training, and other unorthodox lessons. Her parents had even went far as to hire Force Users and Siths to increase their daughter's resolve since she was not born as a Force User. Evelyn had learned how to pilot and fell in love with ships through her nanny before he got fired for showing her how to fly. In her parents eyes, no sophisticated rich elite needs to learn how to fly, they can simply hire anyone.

Over time, her parents realized that she was a failure in their eyes, they kicked her out when she was only sixteen years old when they found her in bed with another female. Evelyn used her piloting and skills she had learned from the teachings of her past teachers to survive.

== Description ==
[[File:Evelynwine.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Off-duty attire.]]

Evelyn is a hybrid of Shaevalian and Echani. She has tan skin with white hair. Her snow-white hair is usually long and always in a fishtail braid that reaches several inches below her collarbone. When unbraided, it reaches to her lower back; reaching as far as to her mid back. Her irises are dark emerald hues. Her body is a healthy build for a woman her size.

Evelyn has no scars and a sleeve tattoo on her left arm. From her elbow to her shoulder, it is the star map of the Eshan and Perave System. From her elbow to her wrist, it's the star map of the Csilla system. The tattoo has a major meaning and symbolism for Evelyn.

== Life Events ==

[[File:Evelynpilot.png|200px|thumb|Evelyn in her pilot outfit|right]]

=== Freelance ===
From 5ABY-20ABY, Evelyn did odd and quick delivery jobs. They were simple but could not sate her hunger. She yearns to go further then across the planet. Finally, she got a job working for the Kadnikov Kompany.

She worked with the Kadnikov and got to explore far and near from 20 ABY to 30 ABY. For awhile, Evelyn had suspected that the Kadnikov does some shady dealings but she kept her nose out of their business. She needed the money and she didn't want any trouble. It what was kept her alive. They soon found out about her relationship with the man she had been working with for ten years, Maxim Kadnikov. They broke up and she left before she got too deeply involved with the Mafia.

Evelyn flew to [[Kasiya]] and got a job working as [[Rhylance|Rhylance's]] pilot. The two of them kept their business strictly professional. If asked, Evelyn would simply say that Rhylance was an asshole but he does his job.

=== Clan Arcona ===

[[File:Evelynmilitary.jpg|200px|thumb|Evelyn's Military Uniform while she served Clan Arcona|left]]

After two years, Evelyn decided to aid the Dark Brotherhood in the [[Thirteenth Great Jedi War|Lyra Colony incident]]. There, she had met a Chiss pilot from [[Clan Arcona]] named Kra'ket'akri, otherwise known as Aketa. She quit her job as Rhylance's pilot and joined the Arcona military to start her life anew. Aketa and Evelyn got married at 35 ABY. Sadly, two years later, Aketa died from war at 37 ABY.

It took a few years, but Evelyn quickly rose the ranks with the calm and stoic demeanor. She soon became a Captain of the Siren Squad for a few years. Recent events on Selen had made Evelyn rethink her choices and she was offered a job as a pilot from Envoy and had decided to retire her military life. She took up on the offer but remained on Selen for a bit longer until recent changes had her move to Kasiya.

=== Envoy Corps ===
[[File:Envoy-swag-siv-evelyn.png|200px|Evelyn Wyvern with her friend and coworker, Sivall Zoria|thumb|right]]

At first, joining the Envoy Corps was a rocky start from Evelyn, having to go from military to a bit more laid back environment.

=== Clan Taldryan ===

[[File:Evelynstarwiki.png|200px|thumb|The Star: hope, faith, healing, recovery, compassion, insight, steadiness, self-love |left]]

At 42 ABY, Evelyn went on a mission with [[Zuza Lottson]]. One night, the entire members of the mission had no memory and Evelyn had found herself married to a Chiss named Anderson. After months of being busy with work and discussion, the pair of them had decided to see if their marriage would work out. She worked for Arcona a bit longer until some recent events had came into light and she had decided to leave Clan Arcona and transfer to Clan Taldryan.

She chose Clan Taldryan for a couple of reasons. One, she had fall in love with Kasiya when she lived there from 31 ABY to 33 ABY before moving over to Selen. Two, Anderson was living at Kasiya at the time.

She now works for both Envoy Corps for some odd-end missions regarding to piloting and Sith Artifacts and for [[Wild Schutta]]. To this day, Evelyn is known to refuse to call the team by that name due to unprofessionalism and calls them Wildlings instead which resulted some jeering and teasing from the team.

{{Quote|Without honor, we are nothing but savages. Without loyalty, nothing but betrayers. It is these two virtues that make us who we are, and without them, make us who we should never be.| Cassandra Tyris}}

'''Cassandra Oriana Tyris''' is the '''Supreme Chancellor''' of the [[Taldryan Republic]], and a former '''Senator''' for the city of '''Caleria''' on the Republic capital world of [[Kasiya]]. She is the second to hold this station, and often times is referred to by the title given to her because of that: '''Lady Second'''. She is also a member of the '''Taldrya''', having been recently inducted into their roll after the constant and selfless devotion to the Republic.

== Early History (Birth - 40 ABY) ==
Remembering very little about her childhood's younger years, the first memories that Cassandra can recall were when she was discovered by a group of [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] warriors who were passing through an area that had been ravaged by an [[starwars:Imperial Remanant|Imperial Remnant]] group. They had found her with to the body of a woman, assumed to be her mother. At the time, according to them, she was no more than six years old. The area clearly had been destroyed a significant time ago, and even in a famished fatigued state, the young girl stood firmly against the Mandalorians with a spear in hand to defend her mother's corpse. Impressed by her bravery and resilience, they took her in as a foundling and raised her as their own on the ruined planet of [[starwars:Concord_Dawn|Concord Dawn]].

Growing up within the Mandalorian culture, she learned the importance of honor, strength, and loyalty. She was trained in the art of combat and became a skilled warrior in her own right. She quickly rose in both practical and intellectual knowledge, physical strength, and mastery of the [[Martial_Arts_Forms#Mandalorian_Core|Mandalorian Core]] martial art all by the age of 10 which earned the respect of her fellow Mandalorians.

Despite her loyalty to the Mandalorian way of life, the young girl had a deep desire to explore the galaxy and see what else was out there. When she reached the age of 13, Cassandra participated in her clan's rite of passage: ''verd'goten''. She was tested on everything she had learned, besting many of the more seasoned Mandalorians within the clan, and eventually was proclaimed an adult in their eyes. As an adult, she was given the choice to become a full Mandalorian, but she instead chose to leave the Mandalorians and embarked on a journey of self-discovery.

Upon her departure, she was given a [[starwars:beskar|beskar]] necklace which had a crest hanging from it with a symbol of a [[starwars: Quenker|Quenker]], the creature of which she had rescued a cub from when it was separated from its family and spent nearly a month to find its family and return it. On the same necklace was a purple and white pendant that she was told she had been found with, opening to reveal a quote inside: '"My stars, my life, I love you always and forever my precious Cassandra Oriana. - Alana Tyris, Mom"'

She had a name. Cassandra Oriana...Tyris. With bittersweet goodbyes, she made her way off of Concord Dawn and began exploring the galaxy. Compared to what she had been used to, it was a vast and endless place both with its positives, and its negatives.

=== Taldryan Days (36-40 ABY) ===
After many years of traveling the stars, journeying from system to system, she found herself on the moon [[Ostara]] in 36 ABY, a bustling world known for its diversity and tolerance. There, she became involved in local politics and began advocating for the rights of citizens who were often marginalized and overlooked by the ruling clan of [[Taldryan]]. Her efforts on behalf of the people of Ostara earned her a reputation as a passionate and effective advocate. She was eventually appointed as an advocate to the Taldryan leadership within the Citadel, the clan's base of operations, for the citizens and she worked tirelessly to improve the lives of those around her.

As her influence grew, an event known as the [[Elysia]] Incident occurred which resulted in solar flares from the Caelus Star striking the moon and severely disrupting its magnetic field. Organizing as many civilian transports as she could, Cassandra assisted in the evacuation of the world but inevitably she was unable to escape before ion storms engulfed the skies, destroying several transports already ascending towards space and preventing anyone else from leaving.

[[File:Casstraining.png|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra learning the art of Vaapad.]]

With the moon trapped in perpetual darkness, the only light coming from the constant storms far above in the atmosphere, Cassandra worked closely with the remaining Taldryan members and civilians that were still there to try and mete out a life for themselves. Most electronics fried, and it was several months before reinforced generators could be constructed and the first fringes of power restored to the Citadel. It had been noticed that she was force sensitive, something that priorly had been overlooked, during an attack on the Citadel ruins by a pack of rancor that intruded from the forest.

As one of them had moved towards a group of children, Cassandra placed herself between the group and the rancor and in her anger somehow had sent it staggering backwards with a deep indent in its chest. It had struggled to breathe, before it finally dropped to the ground and was dead. Upon seeing this, one of the [[Force Disciple|Force Disciples]] that was present on Ostara took her under his wing and helped teach her how to control her power and harness it. He also taught her the exquisite lightsaber art of [[Lightsaber_Forms#Form_8_-_Vaapad|Vaapad]], using his own force powers to help in hardening her emotions and mind to master it.

Several years passed before the [[Regent]] of the Brotherhood, [[Zxyl Taldrya]], managed to get through the ion storms. She was happy to learn that nearly everyone who had fled Ostara had survived. Upon being given the option to remain on Ostara or travel to the new capital on the moon [[Kasiya]], she chose to go. She knew those still there would be fine, as they all had gained immense strength and capabilities over those dark years, and wanted to work towards the betterment of the now reformed [[Taldryan Republic]] as a whole.

Shortly after arriving on Kasiya in 40 ABY and diving right into life as an advocate, she gained the attention of the leaders of the city of Caleria where she was living. They recognized not just her talent, but many of them remembered her and her efforts on Ostara years ago. She was asked to become a Senator for Caleria, to represent them and their interests within the Taldryan Senate.

At first, she was hesitant to take on such a responsibility. But after much reflection, she realized that this was an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of millions of people. She accepted the position and after moving to the capital of [[Port Kasiya]] she began her new role with passion and dedication.

As a senator, she worked to strengthen the ties between Port Kasiya and Caleria, as well as improve relations with the neighboring moon of [[Chyron]]. She also pushed for legislation that would help subsidize homes for the city's homeless population in Holmes, protect the environment, and promote sustainable practices. Despite facing opposition and criticism from some of her fellow senators, she remained steadfast in her beliefs and continued to fight for what she thought was right.

Over time, she became one of the most respected and influential politicians on Kasiya. Her leadership and dedication earned her the nickname '''"The People's Senator."''' Looking back on her life, she knew that she had come a long way from her humble beginnings as a foundling. She was proud of the person she had become and knew that her journey was far from over.

== Dark Whirlwinds (41 ABY) ==
=== The Second Chancellor ===
In early 41 ABY, [[starwars:Supreme_Chancellor|Supreme Chancellor]] and '''Lord First''' [[Appius Wight]] brought a motion before the senate to assist in the defense of the [[starwars:Saijo_sector|Saijo Sector]] directly to the south of their sector. Pirates had somehow managed to break through the extensive defensive perimeter that the Saijo monarchy had established along their southern border with the [[starwars:Kallea_sector|Kallea Sector]]. As part of his argument for supporting the assault, he warned what could happen should the pirates overtake the system as Taldryan's own home sector was next in their path. This was especially emphasized due to the mysterious disappearance of the '''Vice-Chancellor''' and Naval [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] [[Teebu Nyrrire]], which had already greatly weakened their naval offensive and defensive capabilities.

Despite the warnings, the senate overwhelmingly voted against their involvement in the war, as in their eyes there was not enough evidence to support any credence that the pirates would indeed move further north. Already they were far outside of their normal areas and for decades Saijo had blockaded every form of supply route that could have benefited Kallea, particularly the Corellian Trade Spine, and constantly authorized assaults into their territories. The citizens of Caleria were equally apprehensive and desired nothing more than to focus on themselves for now and continue finding ways to try and get back to Ostara, since all support in doing so from the Republic itself had all but faded. Due to this, Cassandra voted against joining the war as well.

She was stunned when barely a few days later word had reached her offices back in Caleria that the Supreme Chancellor had ignored the will of the senate and dispatched the [[Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet]] to assist the Saijo monarchy in fighting back the pirates. Almost immediately the senate called an emergency session with '''War Marshal''' [[Lee Starr]] presiding in the absence of both Chancellors. While many could understand the reasonings behind what he had done, many of the other senators could not get over the singular fact of the issue: he disobeyed a direct senate mandate. Finally, the senator of [[Chyron]] brought the motion for a [[starwars:Vote_of_No_Confidence|Vote of No Confidence]] in the Lord First's leadership. It fell largely against the expected lines, with Chyron and other Calerian senators all voting in favor, while most of [[Elysia]]'s and Kasiya's senators voted against it. Cassandra was one of just a few Calerian senators to vote against it, favoring instead severe sanctions against his office, given everything he had accomplished and done for the Republic. It came down to a solid tie, in which the War Marshal concurred with those voting in favor of his removal.

When the fleet returned, Appius had closed himself up in his office while the newly returned Vice-Chancellor Nyrrire assumed his post in leading the senate. When votes came up on who should be nominated to succeed him as the '''Second Chancellor''', [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Teebu Nyrrire of the Naval Fleet, nominated himself as he already had the post of Vice-Chancellor and direct succession made the most sense. However, before the vote could take place, once again the Chyron delegation stood against it. They cited his disappearance and the sudden appearance of damning evidence that he had been working with the main adversary of the Taldryan Republic, the [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]] as one of their officers the near half-year he had been gone. The cries to instead vote for another, similarly, were more vocal than anything else. Once Nyrrire retired himself from the chamber, the most prominent names went up. [[Jorm_"The_Jester"_Na'trej|Jorm Na'trej]], who was the Chancellor of Chyron, War Marshal Lee Starr of the Taldryan Strategic Operations Council, '''Koda Kendis''' the Chancellor of Elysia, among four others. Coming as a shock to both herself and a few others, Cassandra's name was thrown up alongside theirs.

Once her name was up the deliberations were not long before a vote was held and it was a close race between herself and Jorm Na'trej, the others trailing far behind. Ultimately, however, she pulled ahead in the later hours and the gap only grew. By the evening of the same day that both of the former Chancellors had been all but removed from power, she was now to assume the role of the Second Chancellor and '''Lady Second''', as the Taldryan Republic's new Supreme Chancellor.

=== Disappearances and a Mock War ===
The next day as she assumed her post and had her belongings transferred to '''Taldryan Tower''', she was stunned to find everything from her predecessor was gone. His quarters cleared out. His office was barren except for the large furniture that had been present before. Everything that could have indicated anyone had even been in this office was gone, leaving the illusion that she herself was the first to be there. Upon requesting an inquiry, she found out that Appius had disappeared from the city without so much as a word after the vote to remove him had taken place. Nyrrire, as well, had gone missing though the [[Office of Secret Intelligence]] had obtained evidence that he had been kidnapped by unknown renegades. Only one of his twin lightsabers remained and now was in her possession.

Initially she brought on the Elysian Chancellor, Koda Kendis, as her Vice-Chancellor but his longing for his home as well as the constant bustle of the bureaucracy proved to be not for him and she gracefully allowed him to return home. Following that, she identified someone who had served Taldryan in the past: The last Consul, [[Seraine_"Erinyes"_Taldrya_Ténama|Seraine "Erinyes" Ténama]].

Strangely enough, it wasn't her who sought Erinyes out but the exact opposite when Erinyes randomly visited Taldryan Tower to discuss the opening of a new vineyard in the northern reaches of the Karufr Lowlands. Excited about the prospect, the two traveled together to the area in question and started bonding over their love of wine. When Erin questioned where Koda was and how he was doing, Cassandra informed her of his recent resignation and that she stood alone at the summit. With everything that had happened to Taldryan the last several years, she made the decision to offer herself up to be the next Vice-Chancellor. The idea was brought before the Taldryan Republic Administrative Committee for a vote, and unanimously was approved. As was the vineyard, by Cassandra.

== [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]] (41 ABY) ==
=== The First Signs of Fracture ===
Late in 41 ABY, a heavily encrypted communication was sent by [[Grand Master]] [[Evant Taelyan]] directly to Cassandra's office. Up until this point, the Brotherhood had been fairly quiet aside from occasional requests for materials and goods, and this act was something that initially worried her. The Republic Senate held a strong stance against the Brotherhood, wanting to stand on its own two feet away from them. She, however, understood the connections between Taldryan and the Brotherhood and still ensured they were involved as directly as they chose to be and that loyalty to the Iron Throne was maintained.

[[File:CassandraTyris.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra the night before the start of the War.]]

The communication was short, brisk, and to the point. Both Cassandra and the Taldryan military were to report to a specific set of coordinates where a 'gate' had been constructed which lead to where the Children of Mortis were hiding. The plan was to infiltrate their home region on the other side of the gate known as the [[Ethereal_Realm|Ethereal Realm]]. Initially she brought this before the Senate and overwhelmingly was denied in the taking of Taldryan resources and military strength to do nothing but be the Iron Throne's 'dog', but after reminding them of what happened to Taldryan's old home of [[Karufr]] at the hands of the Brotherhood's Iron Navy and that the Republic in its current form would not be able to withstand a direct assault, the vote again was held and passed.

It was at this point the Taldryan Republic had entered it's second war, the [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]].

=== The Ethereal Realm ===
Being new to this level of leadership as a Chancellor, Cassandra elected to join her forces on the front lines during the initial assaults into the realm. The realm itself was unique in that the force was extremely unstable when it came to the force. At times she was forced to rely on her own physical strength and endurance, while other times she could fight almost endlessly across the battlefield with unending haste and stamina as if someone had turned on a water tap and just left it running. Other times she was able to utilize abilities of the force she had never learned or even considered using before that point.

Along with members of the Black Fire Brigade, a recently re-activated detachment of the Summit Guards, a good handful of Cassandra's closest friends whom were in the Taldryan Military chose to join the front lines of the Shattered Fields as well and fight alongside her with other Taldryanites that had gone as well. Taldryan itself held itself directly in the vanguard of the assaulting forces from the various clans, demonstrating its commitment to following the will of the throne.

A catastrophy would nearly occur however when herself, Shanree, and several others would break off from the front lines to traverse the Corpse Fields and get around to the backside of a massive fort which stood in the way of the main forces. This tactic had been considered by the Children, and an empowered force was sent to face off against them. The battle was grim from the start and as it went on, it looked as if they were all going to fall there. Channeling a newly invigorated level of the Force that had entered her body, Cassandra conjured a massive Force Storm into the sky. The enemy forces fell by the dozens, some of the bolts nearly taking down Shanree as well. He, however, as a [[starwars:Miraluka|Miraluka]] who could see with the Force, saw that this power was about to overwhelm and consume her. In a rather brash and selfish move, he dodged numerous bolts as he sprinted to her and dove into her, disrupting the flow of the storm and bringing it to an end.

=== Realization ===
Ultimately the tactic succeeded as the group reached the rear of the fort and fought their way inside, opening the front to provide a path for the military forces to enter. Once the fort had fallen and the army passed through the fields, only the Fortress of the Unchained which served as the Children of Mortis' base of operations, stood before them.

Easily this proved to be the most difficult part of the battle, though one perk of the fortress being similar to a massive castle, there were plenty of open windows for enemies to be telekinetically thrown out. Or, at times when she was empowered, making a window to throw them out using their bodies as hammers.

Deep within the fortress she came across a massive crystalline rancor, and saw [[Clan Plagueis]]' [[Consul]] [[Selika_Roh|Selika Roh]] and [[Alaris Jinn]], also from Plagueis, about to enter combat with it. She lept down from the balcony where she had just thrown several others out of a nearby window and offered to assist with the endeavor. After a significant fight of which the hard crystals of the rancor proved nearly indestructible, the three who each had a mastery of telekinetic powers, worked in tandem in a triangular formation and together telekinetically crushed the rancor. The three returned to their rightful assault forces and continued the fight. It was not long before the fortress was nearly overwhelmed, and victory was in reach.

After the fortress had fallen, a fall-back order was given by [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Dacien Victae]] to depart the realm with victory secured. With ships unusable, it was a long journey back to the portal. Once back on the outside, the Taldryan forces began to regroup and take count. It was at this point Cassandra noticed she was unable to sense the others that had came with her, and upon checking the casualty logs from the Medic Corps, fell aghast at what she saw. All seven of her military friends whom had joined her, had perished in various stages of the advance to the fortress.

=== Hero? ===
During the journey back to Caelus, Cassandra's thoughts did nothing but haunt her. *She* was the reason they were dead. The reason they were even with the vanguard to begin with, as none of them had ever been part of a front-line force before. They wouldn't have been there if not for her, and they would have been safe.

This was made worse for her after they had returned to the Caelus system to thunderous applause from the Republic, word having reached them first of her being declared a ''Hero of the War'''. To her, she was no hero. She knew she went into the war in a completely naive manner, something she should have instead ran through the military leadership and let them coordinate with her help. Instead, now she was being celebrated while the families of her friends mourned. Taldryanites toasted with her, while her friends never would again. Her mind continuously began to spiral downward, and as new issues and threats arose, she began to question herself and her choices.

With the instability that sat in her mind, a [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] Inquisitor by the name of ''Anders'' was sent by newly placed [[Grand Master]] Dacien to keep an eye on things within the Taldryan Republic. Given the nature of the Senate's stance towards them, if Cassandra fell from grace, he would not allow Taldryan to secede from them. This was a legitimate threat as following the sudden disappearance of [[Appius Wight|Appius]], it had already been brought up by the Senate.

She was far enough off of her normal routine that after Erinyes had been promoted to the post of ''Emissary of the Brotherhood'', Anders manipulated the list of candidates to replace her and ensured his own rise to Vice-Chancellor. This act placed him directly where he could both watch Cassandra, and ensure there were no treasonous acts against the Brotherhood by the senate of which he now had full access to.

== The Kasiyan Blizzard (41 ABY) ==
Her concern now, putting his deceptive and own treasonous act to the side, was the upcoming alignment of [[Huracan]] and [[Grannus]] to cause an eclipse on Kasiya, which was predicted to bring a massive snowstorm to the moon. The rest she was able to sense was connected to her time being gone, with the mental consensus questioning where she had been all this time.

Initially within projections, a request was put out to the Brotherhood at large at the senate's request to see if any volunteers would be willing to assist with the fallout from these storms. This action made Cassandra chuckle, as up until now they wanted nothing to do with the Brotherhood. It was like pulling rancor teeth to get them to do anything involving them, but now that a crisis was on their doorstep they made the motion before even speaking to her about it. Luckily, she had already put out requests, and answers came from all across...even Taldryan's traditional adversary, [[Clan Arcona]].

As the planets aligned, shorltly after forces from each of the Clans had arrived including some from the Council itself, the storm struck Kasiya just as predicted. The intensity, however, was far more severe than anticipated. Grannus' alignment resulted in a massive volcanic shift on the two worlds. This spawned a massive storm in which the temperatures were predicted to fall low enough to freeze even oxygen itself on the surface. After learning that the forces helping with civilian evacuations would not have enough time to secure but at least 35% of them and restore maybe a quarter of the power to the city, Cassandra left her post in the safety of the Senate Complex against the orders of Senator Frei-Jar whom had opted to grab a hold of her to stop her. This act resulted in her telekinetically throwing him through the senate chamber doors and into the main hallway as she turned and left, Frei-Jar left cowering in fear. Cassandra made her way to Port Kasiya to try and use her skills in Telekinesis to hold the storm off and buy the teams as much time as she could.

When she arrived at the highest building on the western edge of the city wearing a weather-resistant armor suit, however, she was shocked to see an Arconan named [[Ruka Tenbriss Ya-ir]] already there and about to do the exact same thing. Joining forces, they projected their telekinetic powers into a wide net which held the giant black storm just to the west of the city.

The gambit worked, at least partially. The storm was slowed by their collective efforts but gradually continued to make its way toward Port Kasiya. As the temperature plummeted, the power within her suit did the same. In under an hour the storm was on the edge of the city, Ruka all but nearly frozen solid and Cassandra's armor power levels gone and her own temperature began to plummet. In an unusual act, former [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]] arrived from orbit and added his own power to the duo to further hold it back. Despite his request for her to back off now, Cassandra refused due to Ruka being incapacitated yet not realizing that Ruka was still channeling telekinesis despite being frozen and continued to push herself to her absolute limits.

In a last ditch effort, Muz used a power that forced energy from the Force and blasted the storm back several miles which bought them a significant amount more of time and warmed the air around them but drained his own energy significantly. Taking that moment to gain a breath, Cassandra pulled off her now useless helmet and gulped in the slightly warmer air as the air in the suit had become stagnant when the life support system failed.

Others who had arrived to provide general support, having sensed Ruka's condition, were shocked at the fact that someone from Taldryan showed concern for an Arconae before themself given the negative relations and standing between the two. As the storm began to rage closer once again, Cassandra checked the status and the rescue efforts were around 80%. Needing to buy a little more time she forced herself back up and requested that Ruka be taken to safety as she once again raised her arms to slow its advance with Muz doing the same. The Arconans did as she had asked and fled into the building below.

The pair gave them as long as they feasibly could, the temperature already down to deadly levels again, but at the limit rescue efforts had just been completed. Far above, the Allegiance Battle Group was actively working to try and forcefully separate the two planets to try and bring an end to the storms but the magnetic pull between the two proved to be far too strong even at full bombardment on Huracan's surface. With that, they bolted down into the building as the storm quickly raged over the building and began forming ice inside of the quickly closed door.

About an hour later, as the center of the gap between the two planets came into view, the storms briefly backed off from the city. An idea had come across Muz' mind after hearing what the fleet above was doing, and requested to be taken to their flagship. Cassandra happily obliged and together they traveled to the [Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet] Flagship, the ''Leviathan''. A significant amount of the crew was shocked to see a non-Taldryan on board, but they dared not question it.

At the same time, the eye of the storm began to close as Huracan came into view of the star, and an even more intense storm began to form. Muz once again forced energy from the Force, this time on a far larger scale with multiple others including the ship's [[starwars:Admiral|Admiral]] offering as well.

Using what he could muster, the orbit of Grannus began to shift away from Huracan before it was eventually in the same orbit line and speed as Perune. As they were separated, the magma bursts and eruptions ceased and all seemed to go calm on Grannus. Muz fell to one knee completely exhausted, while most of the others completely passed out except for Cassandra who barely kept herself conscious.

== The Regent, The Mandalorian, The Traditionalist (41-42 ABY) ==
It was not long before Zxyl took notice during a visit to [[Port Kasiya]] following the snowstorm that something was wrong. Without even speaking to Cassandra, he noticed she was not the same as she had been when they met on Ostara, discussed details of Caleria's advancement, bringing the Axios back online, or even during the war. Using some of his contacts, he found out exactly what was going on and how it weighed on her mind. His first thought was of just how naive and inexperienced she truly was to have gotten into that state, but it was not something he would say. It was something that he full well knew she understood and aimed at herself far more negatively than he could ever try to convey.

During a conversation with Dasha 'Talus' Jalus in his tongue of Mando'a, he was surprised when the nearby Cassandra whom was sitting at the riverfront, responded and added to the conversation in the same language. While fairly rusty, it was still very accurate. The conversation between Dasha and him moved elsewhere to a more private setting, but he eventually returned to the riverfront and spoke with her. He asked her how she came to know that language, to which she explained her past. How she came to be a foundling after her mother's death, eventually leaving the clan who had taken her in to be able and explore the galaxy.

From his experiences with her, he knew her dedication to Taldryan. He never acknowledged her position as the Supreme Chancellor, instead as what she would have been: the Consul of Clan Taldryan. Despite that position no longer existing, she still acted like she was much to his impressment. Even when the Senate acted against ideals of attributes that defined it, she always stood steadfast against them. She even put herself in harms way during the war for the Clan. Anyone else, he would never have done this. But, after some time Zxyl made her an offer: He gave her a heavily encrypted data chip that had a set of coordinates on it, and if she wanted his help in becoming stronger not just for herself but for Taldryan's benefit she was to meet him there. Quietly.

While she was reluctant to leave the Republic in Anders' hands, she knew that Taldryan had to come first. And at this point she was in no shape to lead it, much less defend it. Without a hesitating thought she accepted his offer and immediately began making preparations.

=== The Brutal Tutilage of Bes'uliik ===
The coordinates lead her to a secluded and well-hidden world known as Nau'ur. As her ship descended on a pre-programmed course set from within the data chip, the landscape she saw reminded her much of the ruins of [[starwars:Yavin_4|Yavin 4]]. It was an impressive, quiet world to be sure. Once on the ground, she walked to the main temple in an athletic style outfit and a large duffle bag with extra clothing, boots, her lightsabers, and other gear.

Once there, Zxyl welcomed her to the home of the Bes'uliik Mandalorians. She was the first outsider to ever set foot here, and warned she had better not make him regret it. From the start, the terms were laid out. She was to listen to every order she was given, to perform every task that was assigned, and maintain honor during it above all else. This would not be a problem for her, she thought. However, he then included that she was to relinquish her lightsabers for the duration and the usage of force powers was strictly prohibited. He explained that this was because Mandalorians in nature did not use either, and if she was to become stronger, she would have to do the same in proving herself worthy and capable.

Not a word was spoken before she had her lightsabers out and presented to him, the same doubtless and no hesitating demeanor she showed on Kasiya. With that done, the training had begun the same day. At the start, she had issues suppressing her force usage due to her skills and nature as a Marauder. Using the force was almost passive to her, and learning to turn it off proved to be the most difficult task at that point.

Training would go through several months, each day becoming more and more difficult with more asked of her. Some tasks that would frighten, scare, or break normal people she powered through with incredible levels of resolve. Zxyl was nearly confident that she could probably face a [[starwars:Rancor|rancor]] down and probably still not flinch.

Just several days in she was forced to go head to head with six other Mandalorians in martial arts all at the same time immediately after having climbed a massive near-mile-high chasm wall deep within the depths of the forest. The time in which she had done so was already impressive as it was, but she managed to subdue four of the six before her stamina finally showed signs of real fatigue.

The battle was stopped at that point, much to Cassandra's surprise. He had learned exactly what he sought out to learn: her limits. Mentally, he knew them from his experience with her on Kasiya. With combat, that was another story with her prowess already being exceptionally high. At this point the real training would begin.

She was instructed by him personally when it came to the ideals, principles, and expectations of those who became Mandalorians under him. While not required to be to the same standards of which he held himself, such as never removing his helmet around others, she would have to uphold the ideals and principles. If she ever broke those, her life would be all but forfeit. He also taught her various types of philosophy, helping her bolster her mental strength. Drilled into her was the absolute fact that her strength and resolve would directly translate to the strength and resolve of Taldryan, and each time she stumbled it too would stumble. As a Consul, or 'Supreme Chancellor' he begrudgingly included, maintaining this was a baseline requirement as had been done by Consuls before her.

He also drilled into her that in war, people will die. Death is a fact of the galaxy and there is no stopping or preventing it, that even one day both him and her would die. When it came to moving forward, the most crucial step that the living could take was the honoring of the memories of the fallen and remembering them and what they stood for. In doing that, she could further increase her own resolve and strength by adding what they had given her in the time they knew each other.

With the physical aspects of the training, she was placed under the tutelage of other Mandalorians who had achieved mastery in different areas. Each day she trained herself in Martial Arts and hand-to-hand combat, ran miles on miles with the expectation of how much climbing each day, weight training with boulders and trees, and random tests on her knowledge of the Mandalorians and what Zxyl had been teaching her about their ideals and principles.

Several months would go by, and much as he had expected, she had not complained once. While she had faltered in the beginning, her skills and ability had sharpened. It was at this point he returned her lightsabers to her and began to train with her in lightsaber combat, knowing this was her strongest suit. When it came to ranged weaponry, she was not nearly as proficient compared to her close-quarters combat capabilities. She had also shown concern of what could occur within the Senate if it became known of what she was doing here, especially if she did pass the grueling tests being placed upon her.

Eventually, her skills with a lightsaber surpassed his own and on a regular basis he was bested when it came to dueling. Never once did she gloat, however, always eager to go again and have another match. Her abilities and skills had reached his own level, even exceeding it in several places. Without a doubt, she had easily become an elder-level combatant like himself.

[[File:Cassmastery.jpeg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra, with blonde hair, at the peak of her training after her sabers had been returned.]]

As a milestone test she once again was placed in combat against other Mandalorians after climbing the chasm in half of the time she did when she first attempted it, this time those fighting against her doubled to 16. One by one they were thrown to the ground, dodged, countered, and tripped, with not a single successful strike being made on her.

One of the nights after, Cassandra stared at herself in the mirror. She knew she had grown exponentially, both inside and out, but could not help but notice that to her she appeared the same visibly. In an act to definitively set upon the path she had now started to walk, she spent the next several hours bleaching her hair. It took several attempts to get the red out before finally she was left with a soft blonde color.

=== The Lady Second Reborn ===
It was already well into the start of 41 ABY before her training would be completed, nearly six months having passed. Cassandra was summoned before Zxyl at a large pool of water at a lake in the forest and presented with verd'goten. Where she had passed on it years ago, opting for a different life, she accepted it wholeheartedly and fully. While in the water, she recited the words of the Mandalorian Creed and became one of them.

Back at the temple, the two began to talk and discuss what would happen at this point. Zxyl told her that he would craft her a set of beskar armor, but knew that she would be unable to wear a traditional Mandalorian-style set, or openly bear any links to their clan as the fury of the Senate and the Republic would easily be directed at both him and the civilians within Caleria and on Ostara.

[[File:Cassbeskar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra arriving back in Port Kasiya in her Beskar Garb]]

He inquired if she had anything in mind to which she stated she had already thought ahead. She handed him a piece of parchment with a crudely drawn illustration of what the beskar armor could look like. It was divided into two sections, with cloth additions. The upper body, arms, and pauldrons would be in red with gold trim, and the lower body and gloves would be gold with dark gold trim. Attached to the pauldrons would be a red cloak with gold ornate trim and Taldryan's crest emblazoned on the back of it.

While it was not traditional, it was something he could work with as it was simple enough for her to actively and consistently wear. He internally acknowledged that she would not be exactly like him and the others, but if the time came she would be. Even then, she would without a doubt maintain the standards of the creed and continue to put Taldryan first as she always had before.

Several days later after continuing with training at her own behest, this time using the force to become reacquainted with it, she was once again summoned and presented with her armor and helmet. Much to her amazement, it was a solid fit just like a glove on her hand. And with that, she bid them farewell for now and began her journey back to Kasiya.

== The Fortress Cloudhaven and the Nightmare ==
Upon her return to Port Kasiya, work began to catch up on things that had fallen behind while she was gone. Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, had gone missing during an expedition to Mount Arreat and a team was dispatched with a recently returned Erinyes at the lead. As she looked into Cloudhaven more and more, however, she noticed that a significant amount of data in regards to it which had been secured behind a Chancellor-Eyes-Only access level had been deleted. Deleted by her predecessor, Lord First Appius Wight.

Status updates over the next week regularly came into her private office about what was occurring during the mission, the discovery of Karufr City, Anders' apprehension by the droids and security services that guarded the city, and their efforts at negotiating his release. Data from the city's archive was discreetly sent to her by the Governor of Karufr City, from which she learned a significant amount.

Mysteriously, aid and support from Port Kasiya had ceased despite continued requests and previous support having been given by the Chancellor's office. The frequency used to communicate had even been blacklisted across the entire city. The shield, even, which had been used to protect the city also masked it from the outside world.

[[File:Cassregal.jpeg|thumb|right|250px|Cassandra in one of her clothing sets, sitting upon the Chancellor's Throne.]]

Construction of Karufr City had been initiated by Appius, as a way to honor Taldryan's legacy before he evolved it into a Republic. Did he have doubts about what he had done, despite the shift in policy towards a people's Taldryan? Did he have fears of what the senate could potentially do given the rise of the Traditionalists with Zxyl at the lead? Already she had begun to align herself with some of the ideals of the Traditionalists after learning much about Taldryan's past the she had not known before, going back to its formation from a House decades prior. Knowing that, and looking at what the Senate now strived to do, she began to doubt their actions were for the benefit of Taldryan but instead for themselves.

Stranger even was the sudden stop of everything Appius had been doing there. The regular reports he input on an almost daily basis ceased on the same day he disappeared from Port Kasiya just hours before the Vote of No Confidence. Even the timeline of information regarding Karufr City being deleted matched up almost exactly, to a scary level of precision. Could the Senate have orchestrated his disappearance and the data being removed? It didn't make sense, but something was going on without a doubt.

An emergency signal was received from Erinyes and the team in Karufr City before she could delve any deeper. The droids and the defenses within the city had turned on them and the city security force for no reason, and the team narrowly escaped with their lives and Anders in tow. Overhearing conversations over the security officers' comms, it was ascertained that the droids had come from the Taldryan Great Hall; the capital building of Karufr City. Upon looking over the schematics of the city, a startling fact was realized. The Great Hall was the summit of the former Cloudhaven Fortress and was the main access to the heated and radioactive core of it.

With droids having been seen down on lower floors before, and the droid invasion occurring from there, she realized that something was happening within the fortress. Given the risk of the Senate's involvement in everything surrounding the city, she decided to have her newly appointed Magistrate, [[Alaisy Tir’eivra]], coordinate the quiet forming of a task force made up of non-military assets to investigate Cloudhaven Fortress. And she, eager to see if anything could be found regarding Appius' disappearance could be found there, would be going with.

[[File:Cassandrabar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra at a Port Kasiya bar, talking to Anders from his POV.]]

While the mission was being planned out, Cassandra invited Anders out for a drink which seemingly caught him off guard. After what he had done, he half expected to be chastized from one corner of Port Kasiya to the other. Instead, it was the exact opposite as she desired to get to know him better. Since what he had done was binding, and only an act of the Senate could undo it, if it were found out the Council would greatly frown upon him and probably pull him from the assignment and put him on Hoth. He couldn't argue that. So, the compromise was, they get to know each other better and he never try and circumvent her like that again. Reluctantly, he agreed though he couldn't help but sense she was fishing for something though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

In actuality, she was legitimately trying to make things as efficient as possible and her attempt was indeed sincere. She wanted to give no reasons or credence to specific nightmares that had begun to plague her in her sleep. Ever since when she had begun questioning the senate, and learning what Taldryan truly meant from Zxyl, she had doubts that they were acting in the best interests of it. But instead, for their own interests. The nightmare came as a nuclear scenario, as she stormed the Senate Complex with the full force of the Summit Guard and Cohors at her back. Naturally, the Senate Guard stood in opposition as their sole duty was the protection of the Senate, but the strength they had paled in comparison.

[[File:Cassnightmare.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra's nightmare where she assaulted the Senate Complex with her forces.]]

One after the other, the Senators and guards fell until eventually the complex was purged. At that point, she united the various cities and groups around Kasiya, and as Consul, restored Taldryan back to its original Clan status like it had existed before Appius. What concerned her the most, and the most vivid aspect of it all, was the orange eyes she had. The orange eyes of one who has fallen from grace as a Jedi. She needed to do all she could to avoid that scenario, even if it was just a nightmare and nothing more. History often was doomed to repeat itself, and she would not risk the lives of Taldryan people.

== The Dalicron War ==
=== Diplomatic Incident ===
In early 42 ABY, rumors had started to reach the Republic about a surge in power from a political entity known as the [[The Human League|Human League]]. Similarly to the events of Saijo, the Senate was apprehensive to push forward with anything in an effort to keep Taldryan distanced.

Even when reports crossed Cassandra's desk all but confirming the League's rise to power and the anticipated takeover of the [[starwars:Dalicron_Sector|Dalicron Sector]], all efforts to try and fend off the future threat that they could pose fell upon deaf ears. It wasn't until they started to reach the outer edges of the Western sector and blockaded the Frelos system world of ''Trexxa'' that she was able to convince them to allow her to send a diplomatic envoy to try and negotiate a cease fire.

Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, however would not let her attend in fear of what could happen. To him, the leader of the Republic had no business being in the middle of a war zone. As much as she disagreed with his thoughts, she knew he was correct. At that point, she remained behind on Kasiya while Anders lead the diplomatic team to Trexxa to meet with the Deputy-Leader of the League, General Kael Durran. In the middle of a Senate meeting, reports came that something had gone wrong.

She was in disbelief at what was coming back, even the video, showing the group assaulting the interior of Durran's Star Destroyer. Almost immediately she was summoned to an emergency meeting of the Administration Council where everything was being gathered and reviewed. The amount of regret she was beginning to feel as a diplomat, letting someone who was inexperienced in its virtues and mannerisms take point. More so, the anger in learning just who the team was that Anders had gathered for that particular mission. In an unsurprising move, the Council's Vice-Chair Frei-Jar Binks, proposed a resolution that would remove Anders from his position as Vice-Chancellor of the [[Taldryan Republic]].

In a way to pass off the anger and re-focus herself, she invited [[Ood Bnar]] from [[Clan Arcona]] to assist with investigating a strange white infection that was growing outward from the '''Forceless Forest''' into the '''Jagd Wastes''' on the western side of the moon. While investigating it, Anders had returned from Trexxa with the team and a family from the surface of Trexxa who was going to testify before the Senate about what the League was doing. [[Zuza Lottson]] also had travelled to [[Kasiya]] after sensing the high amounts of anger that Cassandra was housing within her. Cassandra was unable to hold back her rage and went off on Anders in front of everyone. That rage only grew after he explained his team selections were based on the assumption that they were going to be betrayed, and there was no intentions of going into negotiations.

It was at that point that Cassandra broke the news that he was no longer Vice-Chancellor because of his actions during this mission, which all but guaranteed that Taldryan was now going to war whether or not anyone liked it. As he accepted it and prepared to leave, she instead offered him his old post of Director of the Office of Secret Intelligence back. While he did not have political finesse, he did know what he was doing when it came to shadow work. So it made sense to put him back where they could use him most. Following that discussion and after Cassandra went on towards the Forceless Forest by herself, Zuza followed so they could have a discussion and she could help re-balance her mental state.

=== The Drums of War ===
As she had unfortunately predicted, the Senate voted to move the Taldryan Republic into war against the Human League. With Anders out as Vice-Chancellor, Cassandra went a rather unorthodox route in proposing the Ood becoming his replacement. This was met with some questions, particularly from elder members of Taldryan, but after it was seen just how he operated as a Jedi and that his loyalties would be without question, he became widely accepted. While things would start off strong, machinations were occurring within the Senate that would bring things to a halt.

Much to Cassandra's surprise, several special resolutions were adopted by the Senate and co-ratified by the Administration Council that would establish the creation of a '''Neutral Zone''' which separated the Seitia and Saijo Sectors from Dalicron as well as prohibit the advancement of any Taldryan Republic aligned forces from going beyond its inner borders. This greatly frustrated the Naval Fleet Admiralty, as well as both the Kingdom of Saijo and the Seitian Federation as this meant the Human League's forces were able to conduct strike incursions into the zone and then retreat back out, knowing they could not be chased.

Despite her protests to both bodies of government, all of her attempts to have these overridden or modified fell upon deaf ears. Even when she showed them evidence gathered by the Office of Secret Intelligence that the League had established resupply and staging outposts on worlds just beyond the zone's boundaries, there was not enough support to shift their opinions.

Relations between herself and Zxyl Bes'uliik, who had retired from the post of [[Regent]] and returned to the Republic to lead the Traditionalist efforts, began to deteriorate as Anti-Traditionalist sentiment started to grow within the Republic. He had also levied against her that she was losing control of the situation, and that it was her responsibility to maintain peace within Taldryan. Assuring him she was doing her best, Zxyl warned her that if she did not get the job done properly that he would do so himself. To that end, she proposed sending her own Summit Guard and her forces to the front lines to strike at the outposts beyond the zone if he did the same with the Traditionalist Fleet, something that he easily agreed to.

While this worked out initially, for reasons she was unable to explain the sentiments against them continued to grow to the point where attacks against civilians began to occur in the streets and riots would break out targeting Traditionalist-aligned citizens. Mysterious shipping delays appeared to Traditionalist-aligned worlds, security checkpoint times drastically increased for their ships, and supply shortages suddenly appeared for things that there should never have been shortages for. The Administration Council Vice-Chair, Frei-Jar Binks, promised to help her try and solve what was going on and bring things back to a solid order.

{{Quote|The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.|Palpatine}}

Disciplines represent how your character prefers to use the Force and Skills. Disciplines represent fictional paths of training. Your character is unique and will ultimately fall into a “class” that best defines their style of fighting and way of life.

Each discipline is given two unique Feats that are only available to your discipline. One Feat enhances an existing Force Power or Skill, and the second is a Feat that is unique to the discipline.

Disciplines are not professions. This is why we have “Hunter” Discipline instead of “Bounty Hunter”. While the Hunter Discipline offers some cool perks that would make a good Bounty Hunter, a Weapons Specialist could just as easily be a good Bounty Hunter. This is also why you don’t have an “Assassin” or “Hitman” Discipline. A Sorcerer can be an assassin, but a Shadow has unique skills that could lend towards making a good assassin.

For those of you that are familiar with RPGs of varying kinds, Disciplines are similar to Classes, but with much more freedom in terms of developing your character however you want. In short, your characters are not limited by the Discipline you choose, they simply gain some specific abilities based on the Discipline you choose to follow. So, don't feel like picking a Discipline is as locked in as selecting a character Class that dictates any kind of limitations to how you want to build or play your character.

=== Seeker ===

{{Discipline
|DisciplineName=Seeker
|DisciplineQuote=The truth... is where you seek it.
|DisciplineDescription=Knowledge is power, and a Seeker is always hunting for the truth so that they may bend and alter it to their whim. They are skilled in both the applications of pain and of pleasure and know when to apply which to get the information they require. Their attention to detail is unrivaled, and their understanding of the world and how it relates to the Force grants them unique insight into tracking and combating other Force-users.
 Seekers gain:
* ''Force Interrogation'', which modifies the Force Power: '''[[Force Powers#Mind Trick|Mind Trick]]'''
* '''Seeking''', a unique Force Power for Seekers

|Feat1Name=Force Interrogation

|Feat1Tier1Description=Unlike a conventional interrogator, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can utilize the Force to influence a subject’s mind. Basic emotions such as fear, hate, and anger can be used to get the subject to reveal information they would otherwise be disinclined to share, allowing <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> to use his '''Mind Trick''' at one Force Power Level above <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> current level, so long as the goal is to gain information from a target.

|Feat1Tier2Description=<nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can now influence stronger emotions like love and suffering. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can probe deep into the hearts of <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> subjects and find hidden loves or fears and draw them to the surface. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can either torture a subject with this information, or use it to willingly coerce the information they desire. When using '''Mind Trick''' to probe for information, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> uses this Force Power at one level higher and may use any successful '''Mind Trick''' to temporarily instill some basic emotion such as agony, ecstasy, desire, or fear in order to extract information.

|Feat1Tier3Description=<nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can break even the strongest of wills. Given time alone with a subject, <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> power of suggestion is powerful enough to manipulate any of the subject’s six senses, as well as their strongest emotions: morality and loyalty. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki>’s intrusions can be so subtle that the subject would never even know they had given away information. It is also possible that <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> can be much more violent and obtrusive, leaving the subject’s mind a mess. <nowiki>{{members}}</nowiki>’s '''Mind Trick''' is usable at one Skill Level above its current level when extracting information, and <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> may choose to instill such strong emotions that it may leave <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> target completely helpless for a time after the interrogation.

=== Juggernaut ===

{{Discipline
|DisciplineName=Juggernaut
|DisciplineQuote=You’ll have to go through me first.
|DisciplineDescription=A Juggernaut personifies the idea of an unstoppable force. Striding across the battlefield, their energy directs the flow of combat around them. A Juggernaut can shrug off blunt trauma with the unique ability to harden their bodies with the Force. When Juggernauts plant their feet, there is little that will knock them away. They are also skilled in using the tempo of battle to push their bodies beyond the point of any normal warrior, their stamina wearing down at a slower rate as long as they are engaged in battle.
 Juggernauts gain:
* ''Surge'', which modifies the Skill: ''[[Skills#Stamina|Stamina]]''
* '''Iron Pillar''', a unique Force Power for Juggernauts

|Feat1Name=Surge

|Feat1Tier1Description=Juggernauts are revered not just for their ferocity in combat, but their ability to fight longer and harder than others on the battlefield. As <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki>’s adrenaline surges with every hit <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> lands or takes, <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> can begin to augment their ''Stamina'' to one Skill Point higher, as long as they are ''actively'' engaged in direct combat and focused solely on feats that utilize their ''[[Skills#Might|Might]]'' or ''[[Skills#Athletics|Athletics]]'' ability. When a lull in combat presents itself, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> will immediately lose <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> stamina boost, but suffer no penalty.

|Feat1Tier2Description=As <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki>’s adrenaline surges with the song of battle or strife, <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> can now augment <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> ''Stamina'' to one Skill Point higher as long as <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> remains ''actively'' engaged in various forms of combat. When a lull in combat presents itself, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> no longer immediately loses <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> stamina boost, but if no new challenge presents itself it will slowly fade away, without penalty.

|Feat1Tier3Description=They say an an Elder Juggernaut never rests when there is still a battle to be fought. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can effortlessly elevate their ''Stamina'' to one Skill Point higher, even when not actively engaged in combat and with little focus. Lulls in combat pose no obstacle, and <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> typically needs to be killed or rendered unconscious to end the effect.

|Feat1FooterText=Surge modifies the Skill: Stamina.

|Feat2Name=Iron Pillar

|Feat2Tier1Description=Juggernauts know how to take a hit better than most. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can dig <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> heels into the ground and, with full concentration, momentarily steel <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> body against impact to prevent <nowiki>{{gender:himself,herself,itself,themself}}</nowiki> from being staggered, knocked back, or thrown off <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> feet otherwise.

|Feat2Tier2Description=The Juggernaut has learned to more quickly harden <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> body with the Force. As long as <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> has <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> feet planted, <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> only needs partial concentration to momentarily steel <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> body against impact to prevent <nowiki>{{gender:himself,herself,itself,themself}}</nowiki> from being staggered, knocked back, or thrown off <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> feet otherwise.

|Feat2Tier3Description=An Elder Juggernaut is seldom knocked off <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> feet, even when <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> is not able to plant them. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can momentarily steel <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> body at will like a sheet of Mandalorian Iron in order to prevent <nowiki>{{gender:himself,herself,itself,themself}}</nowiki> from being staggered, knocked back, or thrown off <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> feet otherwise.

=== Marauder ===

{{Discipline
|DisciplineName=Marauder
|DisciplineQuote=Don't blink.
|DisciplineDescription=The Marauder embraces the Force in its rawest form, drawing on a wide range of emotion to act as fuel for their furnace. They flow through the battlefield, leaving a wake of carnage behind them. They use '''[[Force Powers#Amplification|Amplification]]''' to augment their physical capabilities, carving through their opponents with mechanical efficiency. The Marauder believes that the best defense is a good offense; never hesitating, never faltering, and never backing down.
 Marauders gain:
* ''Battlefield Awareness'', which modifies the Force Power: '''[[Force Powers#Sense|Sense]]'''
* '''Battle Haste''', a unique Force Power for Marauders

|Feat1Name=Battlefield Awareness

|Feat1Tier1Description=Marauders weave their way through a battlefield with the speed and precision of a choreographed dance. In order to accomplish this, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> focuses in on the ambient Force of <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> surroundings to tap into and intuitively perceive the flow of battle. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can track the relative position of a handful of enemy targets within <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> immediate vicinity whether they are in <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> line of sight or not. Once a target is flagged, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can better handle engaging two opponents within <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> sphere of awareness.

|Feat1Tier2Description=Equite Marauders have further refined their innate connection to the ambient Force of a battlefield, and <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> is able to perceive not only the relative position of nearby enemies, but also track all enemy targets within <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> immediate vicinity. Once tagged, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can better handle attacks from multiple opponents at the same time within <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> sphere of awareness.

|Feat1Tier3Description=Elder Marauders are true masters of the battlefield, leveraging their powerful connection to the Force to perceive participants across the entire battlefield. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can perceive and mentally track enemy targets through the Force across a vast area. When engaging these enemies, <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> can track not only close-quarter attacks, but long range ones as well within <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> sphere of awareness.

|Feat1FooterText=Battlefield Awareness modifies the Force Power: Sense.

|Feat2Name=Battle Haste

|Feat2Tier1Description=Marauders feed on the energy of combat. With every strike of <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> weapon, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki>’s adrenaline flares and augments <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> ''[[Skills#Athletics|Athletics]]'' skill. As <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> continues to fight, <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> swings become faster, <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> movements accelerating as attacks string together. The use of raw emotion takes away from <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki>’s accuracy, and when the battle pauses or comes to an end <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> experiences temporary fatigue as <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> comes down from a battle-high.

|Feat2Tier2Description=The frenzy of battle drives <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> into a willing fury that <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> <nowiki>{{gender:has,has,has,have}}</nowiki> learned to harness. <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> rapid, powerful chains of attacks no longer penalize accuracy, and when there is a lull or end to combat, the crash is minor. <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> emotions fuse seamlessly with the Force, allowing <nowiki>{{gender:him,her}}</nowiki> to strike more swiftly and more accurately.

|Feat2Tier3Description=An Elder Marauder on the battlefield is one of the few things that can give a charging enemy pause. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki>’s alacrity, even in the chaos of battle, is rivaled by none. <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> strikes are not only quick but deadly accurate. As one foe falls, <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> <nowiki>{{gender:is,is,is,are}}</nowiki> already focused on <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> next kill. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> no longer feels any side effects of using this ability, and has even learned to store the haste in reserve to seamlessly accelerate back to <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> peak at a moment’s notice.

=== Sorcerer ===

{{Discipline
|DisciplineName=Sorcerer
|DisciplineQuote=...I shot Force Lightning at it, and it opened.
|DisciplineDescription=The Force can be a wondrous yet devastating tool to those who make a study of its secrets. A Sorcerer knows that the key to using the Force as a true weapon is the ability to keep calm and focused when the pressure gets turned up. Dark or Light, their strength in weaving the intricate threads of the Force is unmatched, making them potent even from a distance.
 Sorcerers gain:
* ''Primed'', which modifies any ''offensive'' Force Power
* '''Battle Mind''', a unique ability for Sorcerers

|Feat1Name=Primed

|Feat1Tier1Description=Sorcerers channel the energy of combat. Fueled by surge of Force energy, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> is capable of chaining together **two** offensive force abilities in rapid succession, at the personal energy cost of using one. When the battle pauses or comes to an end {{gender:he,she,it,they}} experience temporary fatigue <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}} {{gender:comes,comes,comes,come}}</nowiki> down from a battle-high. Applies to: **Force Lightning**, **Telekinesis**, **Slow**, **Blinding**, and **Darkness**.

|Feat1Tier2Description=With further training, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> has learned to be more effective in their Force usage. In the frenzy of battle <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can now channel three offensive Force powers together in rapid succession at the personal energy cost of using one. When there is a pause or end to the combat, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> still experiences a temporary fatigue. Applies to: **Force Lightning**, **Telekinesis**, **Slow**, **Blinding**, and **Darkness**.

|Feat1Tier3Description=An Elder Sorcerer on the battlefield is a master of harnessing the available Force energy around them. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can rapidly chain together three Force power attacks for the personal energy cost of one, but no longer suffers any post combat fatigue for using this ability. Applies to: **Force Lightning**, **Telekinesis**, **Slow**, **Blinding**, and **Darkness**.

|Feat1FooterText=Primed modifies any offensive Force Power.

|Feat2Name=Battle Mind

|Feat2Tier1Description=A Journeyman Sorcerer knows that the key to using the Force as a weapon comes from the ability to keep <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> focus even when under fire. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> has learned to tune out common distractions like taunts, loud noises and the chattering of crowds. <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> <nowiki>{{gender:is,is,is,are}}</nowiki> able to focus on using ''offensive'' Force Powers better when not being physically harassed or stressed.

|Feat2Tier2Description=<nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> has become fluent at tuning out the distractions and rigours of battle. Detonations, blasters, and the chaos of a battlefield fall on deaf ears, increasing <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> ability to focus on using ''offensive'' Force Powers without interruption even if taking a grazing blow. More persistent and intensive bodily harm or injury can still cause <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki>’s focus to momentarily falter.

|Feat2Tier3Description=<nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> dances through warzones as casually as a strolling through the park. <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> focus when using the Force as an offensive weapon is unbreakable, even with explosions detonating in <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> ear or the bloodcurdling cacophony of death and destruction wailing around <nowiki>{{gender:him,her}}</nowiki>.

|Feat2FooterText=Battle Mind is a unique ability for Sorcerers.

=== Arcanist ===

{{Discipline
|DisciplineName=Arcanist
|DisciplineQuote=Mock our rituals all you want; the results speak for themselves.
|DisciplineDescription=Perhaps the most misunderstood of disciplines, Arcanists study the Force and how it connects all living things. By focusing on the more arcane and studious nature of the Force, they have created their own rituals and philosophies that let them accomplish tasks alien to the common Force-wielder. They can track a being through the Force using things as simple as a torn piece of cloak.
 Arcanists gain:
* ''Dowsing'', which modifies the Force Power: '''[[Force Powers#Sense|Sense]]'''
* '''Channel''', a unique ability for Arcanists

|Feat1Name=Dowsing

|Feat1Tier1Description=All things are bound together through the Force, and an Arcanist can use those links to trace connections between two similar items, or an item and a person. These sympathetic links manifest as hazy mental images in <nowiki>{{member}}’s</nowiki> mind. Using an item that has been in contact with the target over the last several hours, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can track that target through a city and heavy crowds. The better the link between object and target, the stronger and easier this becomes. Full concentration is required to use this ability.

|Feat1Tier2Description=Tracing links through bound objects or people in the Force, has become a second nature to <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki>. These sympathetic links manifest as semi-transparent mental images in <nowiki>{{member}}’s</nowiki> mind. Using an item that has been in contact with the target within the last month, such as an old shirt, a bundle of hair, a vial of blood, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can track a target across a continent. The stronger the link to the target, the easier this becomes. Concentration is required to use this ability.

|Feat1Tier3Description=There are few places one can hide from <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki>. All <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> need to track down an object or person is the faintest link back to their target, be it a fingernail, ripped clothing, or a drop of blood. As long as the object had contact with the target at any point in the past, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can accurately track the target across a planet of any size, and do so with minimal concentration. These sympathetic links manifest as crystal clear mental images in <nowiki>{{member}}’s</nowiki> mind. The stronger the link to the target, the easier and stronger this ability becomes.

|Feat1FooterText=Dowsing modifies the Force Power: Sense.

|Feat2Name=Channel

|Feat2Tier1Description=Journeymen Arcanists are able to center themselves in the emotional grounding of their connection to the Force, pulling energy from the Living Force to temporarily refill <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> own energy reserves. If <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> is allowed to maintain this concentration for more than a few moments, <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> can reuse Force Powers which normally require significant rest without penalty.

|Feat2Tier2Description=<nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can effortlessly pull energy from the Living Force to refill <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> own energy reserves. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can do this in between combat skirmishes, but still requires a moment or two to restore <nowiki>{{gender:him,her}}</nowiki>self.

|Feat2Tier3Description=Leveraging a deep connection with the Force, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can draw energy from the Living Force around <nowiki>{{gender:him,her}}</nowiki> and fuse it with <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> own. With this new energy, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can revitalize <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> own reserves from the brink of exhaustion almost instantaneously and with only a few seconds of concentration, even in the middle of combat.

|Feat2FooterText=Channel is a unique ability for Arcanists.

|Feat1Tier2Description=Due to <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki>’s understanding of both technology and the Force, <nowiki>{{gender:he,she,it,they}}</nowiki> can use <nowiki>{{gender:his,her,its,their}}</nowiki> '''Telekinesis''' to manipulate larger tech to malfunction, be they computer terminals, advanced weaponry or even non-combat droids that are powered by an electrical circuit or have built-in targeting or guidance system. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> requires a visual on target and a focusing gesture or cue.

|Feat2Name=Mechu-deru

|Feat2Tier1Description=As a Journeyman, <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can infuse sentience into common droids such as protocol, medical, and drone types and control them through a conscious connection in the Force.

|Feat2Tier2Description=<nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> has learned to infuse sentience and control into more sophisticated droids such as combat, interrogation and astromech types, and manipulate them through a connection through the Force. <nowiki>{{gender:He,She,It,They}}</nowiki> can enslave a droid without conscious effort in maintaining the link unless implanting orders or commands.

|Feat2Tier3Description=<nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can infuse sentient life into even the most advanced assassination and combat droids. <nowiki>{{gender:He,She,It,They}}</nowiki> can enslave multiple droids without a conscious effort of maintaining the link unless needing to issue orders.

== Custom Disciplines ==
Custom Disciplines are a great way for members more familiar with the CS system to further and better define their characters. Rather than being limited to the specific “class” options we currently have as defaults, starting at [[Equite 3]], members can begin to request a custom combination of discipline feats for their characters. This includes some unique discipline feats not currently attached to any of our default options.

There are some restrictions. You can only request as many custom disciplines as you have slots available. Once at max, you will have to inform us which discipline you would like to replace. Selected feats must still fall within the same Force-user or Non-Force-user categories for the character. This means no Force user can select the “Smooth Operator” feat for their character, just as no non-Force-user can select “Battlefield Awareness”.

The max level of the feats also depends on your current rank. While default disciplines fully unlock based on your rank tier (NOV/JM are level one, EQ is level two, EL is level three) this system scales a bit differently due to the powerful new builds you are capable of making.

Equite 3 members get to use two level one feats.
Equite 4 members get to use two level two feats.
All Elder members get to use two level three feats.

This also depends on the rank of the character you are using. If you are an Elder creating a sheet for a JM4 ranked character, that one would still only get the level one feats out of it.

=== Requesting a Custom Discipline ===

To request a custom discipline please use this form [https://forms.gle/c3xrDWLVFNt59UuH6 here].

This process is entirely manual for the Voice staff. This means it takes time, along with and discussion and back and forth. This takes a lot longer than a sheet review to complete, please be patient we will process your request as fast as possible.

=== Custom Discipline Options ===
In addition to picking from any of the feats attached to the default disciplines listed above, there are additional unique feats available to pick from. The ''only'' way to use any of these feats is by creating a custom discipline for your character.

==== Suggesting a new Discipline Feat ====
We do accept requests for new tiered discipline feats. Please email the Voice staff with the following information: Force User/Non-Force user typing, what the feat should do and how you think it would scale between the three levels. It is encouraged but not required to have these feats prewritten in some form for easier discussion.

In the shadows of a once-thriving society, where the echoes of progress were drowned in the symphony of despair, a new chapter unfolded — one drenched in darkness and fear. A movement known as Denosianism, a clandestine group that emerged from the abyss of discontent under the leadership of Gander Denos, had seized control of the planet's reins from the Dalicron Sector High Advisory Council after being voted into power by those who once thought they would be their saviors. Initially, they had promoted just causes and worked to benefit the sector’s people as a whole regardless of rank, position, job, or even social class.

Once the Denosiasts had been confirmed as the next ruling class of Dalicron, all of that changed. As their ominous banners unfurled across towering buildings, casting an oppressive pallor over the urban landscape and the Dalicron Sector at large, the denizens found themselves ensnared in a dystopian nightmare...

{{Quote|Without honor, we are nothing but savages. Without loyalty, nothing but betrayers. It is these two virtues that make us who we are, and without them, make us who we should never be.| Cassandra Tyris}}

'''Cassandra Oriana Tyris''' is the '''Supreme Chancellor''' of the [[Taldryan Republic]], and a former '''Senator''' for the city of '''Caleria''' on the Republic capital world of [[Kasiya]]. She is the second to hold this station, and often times is referred to by the title given to her because of that: '''Lady Second'''. She is also a member of the '''Taldrya''', having been recently inducted into their roll after he constant and selfless devotion to the Republic.

== Early History (Birth - 40 ABY) ==
Remembering very little about her childhood's younger years, the first memories that Cassandra can recall were when she was discovered by a group of [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] warriors who were passing through an area that had been ravaged by an [[starwars:Imperial Remanant|Imperial Remnant]] group. They had found her with to the body of a woman, assumed to be her mother. At the time, according to them, she was no more than six years old. The area clearly had been destroyed a significant time ago, and even in a famished fatigued state, the young girl stood firmly against the Mandalorians with a spear in hand to defend her mother's corpse. Impressed by her bravery and resilience, they took her in as a foundling and raised her as their own on the ruined planet of [[starwars:Concord_Dawn|Concord Dawn]].

Growing up within the Mandalorian culture, she learned the importance of honor, strength, and loyalty. She was trained in the art of combat and became a skilled warrior in her own right. She quickly rose in both practical and intellectual knowledge, physical strength, and mastery of the [[Martial_Arts_Forms#Mandalorian_Core|Mandalorian Core]] martial art all by the age of 10 which earned the respect of her fellow Mandalorians.

Despite her loyalty to the Mandalorian way of life, the young girl had a deep desire to explore the galaxy and see what else was out there. When she reached the age of 13, Cassandra participated in her clan's rite of passage: ''verd'goten''. She was tested on everything she had learned, besting many of the more seasoned Mandalorians within the clan, and eventually was proclaimed an adult in their eyes. As an adult, she was given the choice to become a full Mandalorian, but she instead chose to leave the Mandalorians and embarked on a journey of self-discovery.

Upon her departure, she was given a [[starwars:beskar|beskar]] necklace which had a crest hanging from it with a symbol of a [[starwars: Quenker|Quenker]], the creature of which she had rescued a cub from when it was separated from its family and spent nearly a month to find its family and return it. On the same necklace was a purple and white pendant that she was told she had been found with, opening to reveal a quote inside: '"My stars, my life, I love you always and forever my precious Cassandra Oriana. - Alana Tyris, Mom"'

She had a name. Cassandra Oriana...Tyris. With bittersweet goodbyes, she made her way off of Concord Dawn and began exploring the galaxy. Compared to what she had been used to, it was a vast and endless place both with its positives, and its negatives.

=== Taldryan Days (36-40 ABY) ===
After many years of traveling the stars, journeying from system to system, she found herself on the moon [[Ostara]] in 36 ABY, a bustling world known for its diversity and tolerance. There, she became involved in local politics and began advocating for the rights of citizens who were often marginalized and overlooked by the ruling clan of [[Taldryan]]. Her efforts on behalf of the people of Ostara earned her a reputation as a passionate and effective advocate. She was eventually appointed as an advocate to the Taldryan leadership within the Citadel, the clan's base of operations, for the citizens and she worked tirelessly to improve the lives of those around her.

As her influence grew, an event known as the [[Elysia]] Incident occurred which resulted in solar flares from the Caelus Star striking the moon and severely disrupting its magnetic field. Organizing as many civilian transports as she could, Cassandra assisted in the evacuation of the world but inevitably she was unable to escape before ion storms engulfed the skies, destroying several transports already ascending towards space and preventing anyone else from leaving.

[[File:Casstraining.png|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra learning the art of Vaapad.]]

With the moon trapped in perpetual darkness, the only light coming from the constant storms far above in the atmosphere, Cassandra worked closely with the remaining Taldryan members and civilians that were still there to try and mete out a life for themselves. Most electronics fried, and it was several months before reinforced generators could be constructed and the first fringes of power restored to the Citadel. It had been noticed that she was force sensitive, something that priorly had been overlooked, during an attack on the Citadel ruins by a pack of rancor that intruded from the forest.

As one of them had moved towards a group of children, Cassandra placed herself between the group and the rancor and in her anger somehow had sent it staggering backwards with a deep indent in its chest. It had struggled to breathe, before it finally dropped to the ground and was dead. Upon seeing this, one of the [[Force Disciple|Force Disciples]] that was present on Ostara took her under his wing and helped teach her how to control her power and harness it. He also taught her the exquisite lightsaber art of [[Lightsaber_Forms#Form_8_-_Vaapad|Vaapad]], using his own force powers to help in hardening her emotions and mind to master it.

Several years passed before the [[Regent]] of the Brotherhood, [[Zxyl Taldrya]], managed to get through the ion storms. She was happy to learn that nearly everyone who had fled Ostara had survived. Upon being given the option to remain on Ostara or travel to the new capital on the moon [[Kasiya]], she chose to go. She knew those still there would be fine, as they all had gained immense strength and capabilities over those dark years, and wanted to work towards the betterment of the now reformed [[Taldryan Republic]] as a whole.

Shortly after arriving on Kasiya in 40 ABY and diving right into life as an advocate, she gained the attention of the leaders of the city of Caleria where she was living. They recognized not just her talent, but many of them remembered her and her efforts on Ostara years ago. She was asked to become a Senator for Caleria, to represent them and their interests within the Taldryan Senate.

At first, she was hesitant to take on such a responsibility. But after much reflection, she realized that this was an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of millions of people. She accepted the position and after moving to the capital of [[Port Kasiya]] she began her new role with passion and dedication.

As a senator, she worked to strengthen the ties between Port Kasiya and Caleria, as well as improve relations with the neighboring moon of [[Chyron]]. She also pushed for legislation that would help subsidize homes for the city's homeless population in Holmes, protect the environment, and promote sustainable practices. Despite facing opposition and criticism from some of her fellow senators, she remained steadfast in her beliefs and continued to fight for what she thought was right.

Over time, she became one of the most respected and influential politicians on Kasiya. Her leadership and dedication earned her the nickname '''"The People's Senator."''' Looking back on her life, she knew that she had come a long way from her humble beginnings as a foundling. She was proud of the person she had become and knew that her journey was far from over.

== Dark Whirlwinds (41 ABY) ==
=== The Second Chancellor ===
In early 41 ABY, [[starwars:Supreme_Chancellor|Supreme Chancellor]] and '''Lord First''' [[Appius Wight]] brought a motion before the senate to assist in the defense of the [[starwars:Saijo_sector|Saijo Sector]] directly to the south of their sector. Pirates had somehow managed to break through the extensive defensive perimeter that the Saijo monarchy had established along their southern border with the [[starwars:Kallea_sector|Kallea Sector]]. As part of his argument for supporting the assault, he warned what could happen should the pirates overtake the system as Taldryan's own home sector was next in their path. This was especially emphasized due to the mysterious disappearance of the '''Vice-Chancellor''' and Naval [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] [[Teebu Nyrrire]], which had already greatly weakened their naval offensive and defensive capabilities.

Despite the warnings, the senate overwhelmingly voted against their involvement in the war, as in their eyes there was not enough evidence to support any credence that the pirates would indeed move further north. Already they were far outside of their normal areas and for decades Saijo had blockaded every form of supply route that could have benefited Kallea, particularly the Corellian Trade Spine, and constantly authorized assaults into their territories. The citizens of Caleria were equally apprehensive and desired nothing more than to focus on themselves for now and continue finding ways to try and get back to Ostara, since all support in doing so from the Republic itself had all but faded. Due to this, Cassandra voted against joining the war as well.

She was stunned when barely a few days later word had reached her offices back in Caleria that the Supreme Chancellor had ignored the will of the senate and dispatched the [[Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet]] to assist the Saijo monarchy in fighting back the pirates. Almost immediately the senate called an emergency session with '''War Marshal''' [[Lee Starr]] presiding in the absence of both Chancellors. While many could understand the reasonings behind what he had done, many of the other senators could not get over the singular fact of the issue: he disobeyed a direct senate mandate. Finally, the senator of [[Chyron]] brought the motion for a [[starwars:Vote_of_No_Confidence|Vote of No Confidence]] in the Lord First's leadership. It fell largely against the expected lines, with Chyron and other Calerian senators all voting in favor, while most of [[Elysia]]'s and Kasiya's senators voted against it. Cassandra was one of just a few Calerian senators to vote against it, favoring instead severe sanctions against his office, given everything he had accomplished and done for the Republic. It came down to a solid tie, in which the War Marshal concurred with those voting in favor of his removal.

When the fleet returned, Appius had closed himself up in his office while the newly returned Vice-Chancellor Nyrrire assumed his post in leading the senate. When votes came up on who should be nominated to succeed him as the '''Second Chancellor''', [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Teebu Nyrrire of the Naval Fleet, nominated himself as he already had the post of Vice-Chancellor and direct succession made the most sense. However, before the vote could take place, once again the Chyron delegation stood against it. They cited his disappearance and the sudden appearance of damning evidence that he had been working with the main adversary of the Taldryan Republic, the [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]] as one of their officers the near half-year he had been gone. The cries to instead vote for another, similarly, were more vocal than anything else. Once Nyrrire retired himself from the chamber, the most prominent names went up. [[Jorm_"The_Jester"_Na'trej|Jorm Na'trej]], who was the Chancellor of Chyron, War Marshal Lee Starr of the Taldryan Strategic Operations Council, '''Koda Kendis''' the Chancellor of Elysia, among four others. Coming as a shock to both herself and a few others, Cassandra's name was thrown up alongside theirs.

Once her name was up the deliberations were not long before a vote was held and it was a close race between herself and Jorm Na'trej, the others trailing far behind. Ultimately, however, she pulled ahead in the later hours and the gap only grew. By the evening of the same day that both of the former Chancellors had been all but removed from power, she was now to assume the role of the Second Chancellor and '''Lady Second''', as the Taldryan Republic's new Supreme Chancellor.

=== Disappearances and a Mock War ===
The next day as she assumed her post and had her belongings transferred to '''Taldryan Tower''', she was stunned to find everything from her predecessor was gone. His quarters cleared out. His office was barren except for the large furniture that had been present before. Everything that could have indicated anyone had even been in this office was gone, leaving the illusion that she herself was the first to be there. Upon requesting an inquiry, she found out that Appius had disappeared from the city without so much as a word after the vote to remove him had taken place. Nyrrire, as well, had gone missing though the [[Office of Secret Intelligence]] had obtained evidence that he had been kidnapped by unknown renegades. Only one of his twin lightsabers remained and now was in her possession.

Initially she brought on the Elysian Chancellor, Koda Kendis, as her Vice-Chancellor but his longing for his home as well as the constant bustle of the bureaucracy proved to be not for him and she gracefully allowed him to return home. Following that, she identified someone who had served Taldryan in the past: The last Consul, [[Seraine_"Erinyes"_Taldrya_Ténama|Seraine "Erinyes" Ténama]].

Strangely enough, it wasn't her who sought Erinyes out but the exact opposite when Erinyes randomly visited Taldryan Tower to discuss the opening of a new vineyard in the northern reaches of the Karufr Lowlands. Excited about the prospect, the two traveled together to the area in question and started bonding over their love of wine. When Erin questioned where Koda was and how he was doing, Cassandra informed her of his recent resignation and that she stood alone at the summit. With everything that had happened to Taldryan the last several years, she made the decision to offer herself up to be the next Vice-Chancellor. The idea was brought before the Taldryan Republic Administrative Committee for a vote, and unanimously was approved. As was the vineyard, by Cassandra.

== [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]] (41 ABY) ==
=== The First Signs of Fracture ===
Late in 41 ABY, a heavily encrypted communication was sent by [[Grand Master]] [[Evant Taelyan]] directly to Cassandra's office. Up until this point, the Brotherhood had been fairly quiet aside from occasional requests for materials and goods, and this act was something that initially worried her. The Republic Senate held a strong stance against the Brotherhood, wanting to stand on its own two feet away from them. She, however, understood the connections between Taldryan and the Brotherhood and still ensured they were involved as directly as they chose to be and that loyalty to the Iron Throne was maintained.

[[File:CassandraTyris.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra the night before the start of the War.]]

The communication was short, brisk, and to the point. Both Cassandra and the Taldryan military were to report to a specific set of coordinates where a 'gate' had been constructed which lead to where the Children of Mortis were hiding. The plan was to infiltrate their home region on the other side of the gate known as the [[Ethereal_Realm|Ethereal Realm]]. Initially she brought this before the Senate and overwhelmingly was denied in the taking of Taldryan resources and military strength to do nothing but be the Iron Throne's 'dog', but after reminding them of what happened to Taldryan's old home of [[Karufr]] at the hands of the Brotherhood's Iron Navy and that the Republic in its current form would not be able to withstand a direct assault, the vote again was held and passed.

It was at this point the Taldryan Republic had entered it's second war, the [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]].

=== The Ethereal Realm ===
Being new to this level of leadership as a Chancellor, Cassandra elected to join her forces on the front lines during the initial assaults into the realm. The realm itself was unique in that the force was extremely unstable when it came to the force. At times she was forced to rely on her own physical strength and endurance, while other times she could fight almost endlessly across the battlefield with unending haste and stamina as if someone had turned on a water tap and just left it running. Other times she was able to utilize abilities of the force she had never learned or even considered using before that point.

Along with members of the Black Fire Brigade, a recently re-activated detachment of the Summit Guards, a good handful of Cassandra's closest friends whom were in the Taldryan Military chose to join the front lines of the Shattered Fields as well and fight alongside her with other Taldryanites that had gone as well. Taldryan itself held itself directly in the vanguard of the assaulting forces from the various clans, demonstrating its commitment to following the will of the throne.

A catastrophy would nearly occur however when herself, Shanree, and several others would break off from the front lines to traverse the Corpse Fields and get around to the backside of a massive fort which stood in the way of the main forces. This tactic had been considered by the Children, and an empowered force was sent to face off against them. The battle was grim from the start and as it went on, it looked as if they were all going to fall there. Channeling a newly invigorated level of the Force that had entered her body, Cassandra conjured a massive Force Storm into the sky. The enemy forces fell by the dozens, some of the bolts nearly taking down Shanree as well. He, however, as a [[starwars:Miraluka|Miraluka]] who could see with the Force, saw that this power was about to overwhelm and consume her. In a rather brash and selfish move, he dodged numerous bolts as he sprinted to her and dove into her, disrupting the flow of the storm and bringing it to an end.

=== Realization ===
Ultimately the tactic succeeded as the group reached the rear of the fort and fought their way inside, opening the front to provide a path for the military forces to enter. Once the fort had fallen and the army passed through the fields, only the Fortress of the Unchained which served as the Children of Mortis' base of operations, stood before them.

Easily this proved to be the most difficult part of the battle, though one perk of the fortress being similar to a massive castle, there were plenty of open windows for enemies to be telekinetically thrown out. Or, at times when she was empowered, making a window to throw them out using their bodies as hammers.

Deep within the fortress she came across a massive crystalline rancor, and saw [[Clan Plagueis]]' [[Consul]] [[Selika_Roh|Selika Roh]] and [[Alaris Jinn]], also from Plagueis, about to enter combat with it. She lept down from the balcony where she had just thrown several others out of a nearby window and offered to assist with the endeavor. After a significant fight of which the hard crystals of the rancor proved nearly indestructible, the three who each had a mastery of telekinetic powers, worked in tandem in a triangular formation and together telekinetically crushed the rancor. The three returned to their rightful assault forces and continued the fight. It was not long before the fortress was nearly overwhelmed, and victory was in reach.

After the fortress had fallen, a fall-back order was given by [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Dacien Victae]] to depart the realm with victory secured. With ships unusable, it was a long journey back to the portal. Once back on the outside, the Taldryan forces began to regroup and take count. It was at this point Cassandra noticed she was unable to sense the others that had came with her, and upon checking the casualty logs from the Medic Corps, fell aghast at what she saw. All seven of her military friends whom had joined her, had perished in various stages of the advance to the fortress.

=== Hero? ===
During the journey back to Caelus, Cassandra's thoughts did nothing but haunt her. *She* was the reason they were dead. The reason they were even with the vanguard to begin with, as none of them had ever been part of a front-line force before. They wouldn't have been there if not for her, and they would have been safe.

This was made worse for her after they had returned to the Caelus system to thunderous applause from the Republic, word having reached them first of her being declared a ''Hero of the War'''. To her, she was no hero. She knew she went into the war in a completely naive manner, something she should have instead ran through the military leadership and let them coordinate with her help. Instead, now she was being celebrated while the families of her friends mourned. Taldryanites toasted with her, while her friends never would again. Her mind continuously began to spiral downward, and as new issues and threats arose, she began to question herself and her choices.

With the instability that sat in her mind, a [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] Inquisitor by the name of ''Anders'' was sent by newly placed [[Grand Master]] Dacien to keep an eye on things within the Taldryan Republic. Given the nature of the Senate's stance towards them, if Cassandra fell from grace, he would not allow Taldryan to secede from them. This was a legitimate threat as following the sudden disappearance of [[Appius Wight|Appius]], it had already been brought up by the Senate.

She was far enough off of her normal routine that after Erinyes had been promoted to the post of ''Emissary of the Brotherhood'', Anders manipulated the list of candidates to replace her and ensured his own rise to Vice-Chancellor. This act placed him directly where he could both watch Cassandra, and ensure there were no treasonous acts against the Brotherhood by the senate of which he now had full access to.

== The Kasiyan Blizzard (41 ABY) ==
Her concern now, putting his deceptive and own treasonous act to the side, was the upcoming alignment of [[Huracan]] and [[Grannus]] to cause an eclipse on Kasiya, which was predicted to bring a massive snowstorm to the moon. The rest she was able to sense was connected to her time being gone, with the mental consensus questioning where she had been all this time.

Initially within projections, a request was put out to the Brotherhood at large at the senate's request to see if any volunteers would be willing to assist with the fallout from these storms. This action made Cassandra chuckle, as up until now they wanted nothing to do with the Brotherhood. It was like pulling rancor teeth to get them to do anything involving them, but now that a crisis was on their doorstep they made the motion before even speaking to her about it. Luckily, she had already put out requests, and answers came from all across...even Taldryan's traditional adversary, [[Clan Arcona]].

As the planets aligned, shorltly after forces from each of the Clans had arrived including some from the Council itself, the storm struck Kasiya just as predicted. The intensity, however, was far more severe than anticipated. Grannus' alignment resulted in a massive volcanic shift on the two worlds. This spawned a massive storm in which the temperatures were predicted to fall low enough to freeze even oxygen itself on the surface. After learning that the forces helping with civilian evacuations would not have enough time to secure but at least 35% of them and restore maybe a quarter of the power to the city, Cassandra left her post in the safety of the Senate Complex against the orders of Senator Frei-Jar whom had opted to grab a hold of her to stop her. This act resulted in her telekinetically throwing him through the senate chamber doors and into the main hallway as she turned and left, Frei-Jar left cowering in fear. Cassandra made her way to Port Kasiya to try and use her skills in Telekinesis to hold the storm off and buy the teams as much time as she could.

When she arrived at the highest building on the western edge of the city wearing a weather-resistant armor suit, however, she was shocked to see an Arconan named [[Ruka Tenbriss Ya-ir]] already there and about to do the exact same thing. Joining forces, they projected their telekinetic powers into a wide net which held the giant black storm just to the west of the city.

The gambit worked, at least partially. The storm was slowed by their collective efforts but gradually continued to make its way toward Port Kasiya. As the temperature plummeted, the power within her suit did the same. In under an hour the storm was on the edge of the city, Ruka all but nearly frozen solid and Cassandra's armor power levels gone and her own temperature began to plummet. In an unusual act, former [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]] arrived from orbit and added his own power to the duo to further hold it back. Despite his request for her to back off now, Cassandra refused due to Ruka being incapacitated yet not realizing that Ruka was still channeling telekinesis despite being frozen and continued to push herself to her absolute limits.

In a last ditch effort, Muz used a power that forced energy from the Force and blasted the storm back several miles which bought them a significant amount more of time and warmed the air around them but drained his own energy significantly. Taking that moment to gain a breath, Cassandra pulled off her now useless helmet and gulped in the slightly warmer air as the air in the suit had become stagnant when the life support system failed.

Others who had arrived to provide general support, having sensed Ruka's condition, were shocked at the fact that someone from Taldryan showed concern for an Arconae before themself given the negative relations and standing between the two. As the storm began to rage closer once again, Cassandra checked the status and the rescue efforts were around 80%. Needing to buy a little more time she forced herself back up and requested that Ruka be taken to safety as she once again raised her arms to slow its advance with Muz doing the same. The Arconans did as she had asked and fled into the building below.

The pair gave them as long as they feasibly could, the temperature already down to deadly levels again, but at the limit rescue efforts had just been completed. Far above, the Allegiance Battle Group was actively working to try and forcefully separate the two planets to try and bring an end to the storms but the magnetic pull between the two proved to be far too strong even at full bombardment on Huracan's surface. With that, they bolted down into the building as the storm quickly raged over the building and began forming ice inside of the quickly closed door.

About an hour later, as the center of the gap between the two planets came into view, the storms briefly backed off from the city. An idea had come across Muz' mind after hearing what the fleet above was doing, and requested to be taken to their flagship. Cassandra happily obliged and together they traveled to the [Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet] Flagship, the ''Leviathan''. A significant amount of the crew was shocked to see a non-Taldryan on board, but they dared not question it.

At the same time, the eye of the storm began to close as Huracan came into view of the star, and an even more intense storm began to form. Muz once again forced energy from the Force, this time on a far larger scale with multiple others including the ship's [[starwars:Admiral|Admiral]] offering as well.

Using what he could muster, the orbit of Grannus began to shift away from Huracan before it was eventually in the same orbit line and speed as Perune. As they were separated, the magma bursts and eruptions ceased and all seemed to go calm on Grannus. Muz fell to one knee completely exhausted, while most of the others completely passed out except for Cassandra who barely kept herself conscious.

== The Regent, The Mandalorian, The Traditionalist (41-42 ABY) ==
It was not long before Zxyl took notice during a visit to [[Port Kasiya]] following the snowstorm that something was wrong. Without even speaking to Cassandra, he noticed she was not the same as she had been when they met on Ostara, discussed details of Caleria's advancement, bringing the Axios back online, or even during the war. Using some of his contacts, he found out exactly what was going on and how it weighed on her mind. His first thought was of just how naive and inexperienced she truly was to have gotten into that state, but it was not something he would say. It was something that he full well knew she understood and aimed at herself far more negatively than he could ever try to convey.

During a conversation with Dasha 'Talus' Jalus in his tongue of Mando'a, he was surprised when the nearby Cassandra whom was sitting at the riverfront, responded and added to the conversation in the same language. While fairly rusty, it was still very accurate. The conversation between Dasha and him moved elsewhere to a more private setting, but he eventually returned to the riverfront and spoke with her. He asked her how she came to know that language, to which she explained her past. How she came to be a foundling after her mother's death, eventually leaving the clan who had taken her in to be able and explore the galaxy.

From his experiences with her, he knew her dedication to Taldryan. He never acknowledged her position as the Supreme Chancellor, instead as what she would have been: the Consul of Clan Taldryan. Despite that position no longer existing, she still acted like she was much to his impressment. Even when the Senate acted against ideals of attributes that defined it, she always stood steadfast against them. She even put herself in harms way during the war for the Clan. Anyone else, he would never have done this. But, after some time Zxyl made her an offer: He gave her a heavily encrypted data chip that had a set of coordinates on it, and if she wanted his help in becoming stronger not just for herself but for Taldryan's benefit she was to meet him there. Quietly.

While she was reluctant to leave the Republic in Anders' hands, she knew that Taldryan had to come first. And at this point she was in no shape to lead it, much less defend it. Without a hesitating thought she accepted his offer and immediately began making preparations.

=== The Brutal Tutilage of Bes'uliik ===
The coordinates lead her to a secluded and well-hidden world known as Nau'ur. As her ship descended on a pre-programmed course set from within the data chip, the landscape she saw reminded her much of the ruins of [[starwars:Yavin_4|Yavin 4]]. It was an impressive, quiet world to be sure. Once on the ground, she walked to the main temple in an athletic style outfit and a large duffle bag with extra clothing, boots, her lightsabers, and other gear.

Once there, Zxyl welcomed her to the home of the Bes'uliik Mandalorians. She was the first outsider to ever set foot here, and warned she had better not make him regret it. From the start, the terms were laid out. She was to listen to every order she was given, to perform every task that was assigned, and maintain honor during it above all else. This would not be a problem for her, she thought. However, he then included that she was to relinquish her lightsabers for the duration and the usage of force powers was strictly prohibited. He explained that this was because Mandalorians in nature did not use either, and if she was to become stronger, she would have to do the same in proving herself worthy and capable.

Not a word was spoken before she had her lightsabers out and presented to him, the same doubtless and no hesitating demeanor she showed on Kasiya. With that done, the training had begun the same day. At the start, she had issues suppressing her force usage due to her skills and nature as a Marauder. Using the force was almost passive to her, and learning to turn it off proved to be the most difficult task at that point.

Training would go through several months, each day becoming more and more difficult with more asked of her. Some tasks that would frighten, scare, or break normal people she powered through with incredible levels of resolve. Zxyl was nearly confident that she could probably face a [[starwars:Rancor|rancor]] down and probably still not flinch.

Just several days in she was forced to go head to head with six other Mandalorians in martial arts all at the same time immediately after having climbed a massive near-mile-high chasm wall deep within the depths of the forest. The time in which she had done so was already impressive as it was, but she managed to subdue four of the six before her stamina finally showed signs of real fatigue.

The battle was stopped at that point, much to Cassandra's surprise. He had learned exactly what he sought out to learn: her limits. Mentally, he knew them from his experience with her on Kasiya. With combat, that was another story with her prowess already being exceptionally high. At this point the real training would begin.

She was instructed by him personally when it came to the ideals, principles, and expectations of those who became Mandalorians under him. While not required to be to the same standards of which he held himself, such as never removing his helmet around others, she would have to uphold the ideals and principles. If she ever broke those, her life would be all but forfeit. He also taught her various types of philosophy, helping her bolster her mental strength. Drilled into her was the absolute fact that her strength and resolve would directly translate to the strength and resolve of Taldryan, and each time she stumbled it too would stumble. As a Consul, or 'Supreme Chancellor' he begrudgingly included, maintaining this was a baseline requirement as had been done by Consuls before her.

He also drilled into her that in war, people will die. Death is a fact of the galaxy and there is no stopping or preventing it, that even one day both him and her would die. When it came to moving forward, the most crucial step that the living could take was the honoring of the memories of the fallen and remembering them and what they stood for. In doing that, she could further increase her own resolve and strength by adding what they had given her in the time they knew each other.

With the physical aspects of the training, she was placed under the tutelage of other Mandalorians who had achieved mastery in different areas. Each day she trained herself in Martial Arts and hand-to-hand combat, ran miles on miles with the expectation of how much climbing each day, weight training with boulders and trees, and random tests on her knowledge of the Mandalorians and what Zxyl had been teaching her about their ideals and principles.

Several months would go by, and much as he had expected, she had not complained once. While she had faltered in the beginning, her skills and ability had sharpened. It was at this point he returned her lightsabers to her and began to train with her in lightsaber combat, knowing this was her strongest suit. When it came to ranged weaponry, she was not nearly as proficient compared to her close-quarters combat capabilities. She had also shown concern of what could occur within the Senate if it became known of what she was doing here, especially if she did pass the grueling tests being placed upon her.

Eventually, her skills with a lightsaber surpassed his own and on a regular basis he was bested when it came to dueling. Never once did she gloat, however, always eager to go again and have another match. Her abilities and skills had reached his own level, even exceeding it in several places. Without a doubt, she had easily become an elder-level combatant like himself.

[[File:Cassmastery.jpeg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra, with blonde hair, at the peak of her training after her sabers had been returned.]]

As a milestone test she once again was placed in combat against other Mandalorians after climbing the chasm in half of the time she did when she first attempted it, this time those fighting against her doubled to 16. One by one they were thrown to the ground, dodged, countered, and tripped, with not a single successful strike being made on her.

One of the nights after, Cassandra stared at herself in the mirror. She knew she had grown exponentially, both inside and out, but could not help but notice that to her she appeared the same visibly. In an act to definitively set upon the path she had now started to walk, she spent the next several hours bleaching her hair. It took several attempts to get the red out before finally she was left with a soft blonde color.

=== The Lady Second Reborn ===
It was already well into the start of 41 ABY before her training would be completed, nearly six months having passed. Cassandra was summoned before Zxyl at a large pool of water at a lake in the forest and presented with verd'goten. Where she had passed on it years ago, opting for a different life, she accepted it wholeheartedly and fully. While in the water, she recited the words of the Mandalorian Creed and became one of them.

Back at the temple, the two began to talk and discuss what would happen at this point. Zxyl told her that he would craft her a set of beskar armor, but knew that she would be unable to wear a traditional Mandalorian-style set, or openly bear any links to their clan as the fury of the Senate and the Republic would easily be directed at both him and the civilians within Caleria and on Ostara.

[[File:Cassbeskar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra arriving back in Port Kasiya in her Beskar Garb]]

He inquired if she had anything in mind to which she stated she had already thought ahead. She handed him a piece of parchment with a crudely drawn illustration of what the beskar armor could look like. It was divided into two sections, with cloth additions. The upper body, arms, and pauldrons would be in red with gold trim, and the lower body and gloves would be gold with dark gold trim. Attached to the pauldrons would be a red cloak with gold ornate trim and Taldryan's crest emblazoned on the back of it.

While it was not traditional, it was something he could work with as it was simple enough for her to actively and consistently wear. He internally acknowledged that she would not be exactly like him and the others, but if the time came she would be. Even then, she would without a doubt maintain the standards of the creed and continue to put Taldryan first as she always had before.

Several days later after continuing with training at her own behest, this time using the force to become reacquainted with it, she was once again summoned and presented with her armor and helmet. Much to her amazement, it was a solid fit just like a glove on her hand. And with that, she bid them farewell for now and began her journey back to Kasiya.

== The Fortress Cloudhaven and the Nightmare ==
Upon her return to Port Kasiya, work began to catch up on things that had fallen behind while she was gone. Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, had gone missing during an expedition to Mount Arreat and a team was dispatched with a recently returned Erinyes at the lead. As she looked into Cloudhaven more and more, however, she noticed that a significant amount of data in regards to it which had been secured behind a Chancellor-Eyes-Only access level had been deleted. Deleted by her predecessor, Lord First Appius Wight.

Status updates over the next week regularly came into her private office about what was occurring during the mission, the discovery of Karufr City, Anders' apprehension by the droids and security services that guarded the city, and their efforts at negotiating his release. Data from the city's archive was discreetly sent to her by the Governor of Karufr City, from which she learned a significant amount.

Mysteriously, aid and support from Port Kasiya had ceased despite continued requests and previous support having been given by the Chancellor's office. The frequency used to communicate had even been blacklisted across the entire city. The shield, even, which had been used to protect the city also masked it from the outside world.

[[File:Cassregal.jpeg|thumb|right|250px|Cassandra in one of her clothing sets, sitting upon the Chancellor's Throne.]]

Construction of Karufr City had been initiated by Appius, as a way to honor Taldryan's legacy before he evolved it into a Republic. Did he have doubts about what he had done, despite the shift in policy towards a people's Taldryan? Did he have fears of what the senate could potentially do given the rise of the Traditionalists with Zxyl at the lead? Already she had begun to align herself with some of the ideals of the Traditionalists after learning much about Taldryan's past the she had not known before, going back to its formation from a House decades prior. Knowing that, and looking at what the Senate now strived to do, she began to doubt their actions were for the benefit of Taldryan but instead for themselves.

Stranger even was the sudden stop of everything Appius had been doing there. The regular reports he input on an almost daily basis ceased on the same day he disappeared from Port Kasiya just hours before the Vote of No Confidence. Even the timeline of information regarding Karufr City being deleted matched up almost exactly, to a scary level of precision. Could the Senate have orchestrated his disappearance and the data being removed? It didn't make sense, but something was going on without a doubt.

An emergency signal was received from Erinyes and the team in Karufr City before she could delve any deeper. The droids and the defenses within the city had turned on them and the city security force for no reason, and the team narrowly escaped with their lives and Anders in tow. Overhearing conversations over the security officers' comms, it was ascertained that the droids had come from the Taldryan Great Hall; the capital building of Karufr City. Upon looking over the schematics of the city, a startling fact was realized. The Great Hall was the summit of the former Cloudhaven Fortress and was the main access to the heated and radioactive core of it.

With droids having been seen down on lower floors before, and the droid invasion occurring from there, she realized that something was happening within the fortress. Given the risk of the Senate's involvement in everything surrounding the city, she decided to have her newly appointed Magistrate, [[Alaisy Tir’eivra]], coordinate the quiet forming of a task force made up of non-military assets to investigate Cloudhaven Fortress. And she, eager to see if anything could be found regarding Appius' disappearance could be found there, would be going with.

[[File:Cassandrabar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra at a Port Kasiya bar, talking to Anders from his POV.]]

While the mission was being planned out, Cassandra invited Anders out for a drink which seemingly caught him off guard. After what he had done, he half expected to be chastized from one corner of Port Kasiya to the other. Instead, it was the exact opposite as she desired to get to know him better. Since what he had done was binding, and only an act of the Senate could undo it, if it were found out the Council would greatly frown upon him and probably pull him from the assignment and put him on Hoth. He couldn't argue that. So, the compromise was, they get to know each other better and he never try and circumvent her like that again. Reluctantly, he agreed though he couldn't help but sense she was fishing for something though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

In actuality, she was legitimately trying to make things as efficient as possible and her attempt was indeed sincere. She wanted to give no reasons or credence to specific nightmares that had begun to plague her in her sleep. Ever since when she had begun questioning the senate, and learning what Taldryan truly meant from Zxyl, she had doubts that they were acting in the best interests of it. But instead, for their own interests. The nightmare came as a nuclear scenario, as she stormed the Senate Complex with the full force of the Summit Guard and Cohors at her back. Naturally, the Senate Guard stood in opposition as their sole duty was the protection of the Senate, but the strength they had paled in comparison.

[[File:Cassnightmare.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra's nightmare where she assaulted the Senate Complex with her forces.]]

One after the other, the Senators and guards fell until eventually the complex was purged. At that point, she united the various cities and groups around Kasiya, and as Consul, restored Taldryan back to its original Clan status like it had existed before Appius. What concerned her the most, and the most vivid aspect of it all, was the orange eyes she had. The orange eyes of one who has fallen from grace as a Jedi. She needed to do all she could to avoid that scenario, even if it was just a nightmare and nothing more. History often was doomed to repeat itself, and she would not risk the lives of Taldryan people.

== The Dalicron War ==
=== Diplomatic Incident ===
In early 42 ABY, rumors had started to reach the Republic about a surge in power from a political entity known as the [[The Human League|Human League]]. Similarly to the events of Saijo, the Senate was apprehensive to push forward with anything in an effort to keep Taldryan distanced.

Even when reports crossed Cassandra's desk all but confirming the League's rise to power and the anticipated takeover of the [[starwars:Dalicron_Sector|Dalicron Sector]], all efforts to try and fend off the future threat that they could pose fell upon deaf ears. It wasn't until they started to reach the outer edges of the Western sector and blockaded the Frelos system world of ''Trexxa'' that she was able to convince them to allow her to send a diplomatic envoy to try and negotiate a cease fire.

Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, however would not let her attend in fear of what could happen. To him, the leader of the Republic had no business being in the middle of a war zone. As much as she disagreed with his thoughts, she knew he was correct. At that point, she remained behind on Kasiya while Anders lead the diplomatic team to Trexxa to meet with the Deputy-Leader of the League, General Kael Durran. In the middle of a Senate meeting, reports came that something had gone wrong.

She was in disbelief at what was coming back, even the video, showing the group assaulting the interior of Durran's Star Destroyer. Almost immediately she was summoned to an emergency meeting of the Administration Council where everything was being gathered and reviewed. The amount of regret she was beginning to feel as a diplomat, letting someone who was inexperienced in its virtues and mannerisms take point. More so, the anger in learning just who the team was that Anders had gathered for that particular mission. In an unsurprising move, the Council's Vice-Chair Frei-Jar Binks, proposed a resolution that would remove Anders from his position as Vice-Chancellor of the [[Taldryan Republic]].

In a way to pass off the anger and re-focus herself, she invited [[Ood Bnar]] from [[Clan Arcona]] to assist with investigating a strange white infection that was growing outward from the '''Forceless Forest''' into the '''Jagd Wastes''' on the western side of the moon. While investigating it, Anders had returned from Trexxa with the team and a family from the surface of Trexxa who was going to testify before the Senate about what the League was doing. [[Zuza Lottson]] also had travelled to [[Kasiya]] after sensing the high amounts of anger that Cassandra was housing within her. Cassandra was unable to hold back her rage and went off on Anders in front of everyone. That rage only grew after he explained his team selections were based on the assumption that they were going to be betrayed, and there was no intentions of going into negotiations.

It was at that point that Cassandra broke the news that he was no longer Vice-Chancellor because of his actions during this mission, which all but guaranteed that Taldryan was now going to war whether or not anyone liked it. As he accepted it and prepared to leave, she instead offered him his old post of Director of the Office of Secret Intelligence back. While he did not have political finesse, he did know what he was doing when it came to shadow work. So it made sense to put him back where they could use him most. Following that discussion and after Cassandra went on towards the Forceless Forest by herself, Zuza followed so they could have a discussion and she could help re-balance her mental state.

=== The Drums of War ===
As she had unfortunately predicted, the Senate voted to move the Taldryan Republic into war against the Human League. With Anders out as Vice-Chancellor, Cassandra went a rather unorthodox route in proposing the Ood becoming his replacement. This was met with some questions, particularly from elder members of Taldryan, but after it was seen just how he operated as a Jedi and that his loyalties would be without question, he became widely accepted. While things would start off strong, machinations were occurring within the Senate that would bring things to a halt.

Much to Cassandra's surprise, several special resolutions were adopted by the Senate and co-ratified by the Administration Council that would establish the creation of a '''Neutral Zone''' which separated the Seitia and Saijo Sectors from Dalicron as well as prohibit the advancement of any Taldryan Republic aligned forces from going beyond its inner borders. This greatly frustrated the Naval Fleet Admiralty, as well as both the Kingdom of Saijo and the Seitian Federation as this meant the Human League's forces were able to conduct strike incursions into the zone and then retreat back out, knowing they could not be chased.

Despite her protests to both bodies of government, all of her attempts to have these overridden or modified fell upon deaf ears. Even when she showed them evidence gathered by the Office of Secret Intelligence that the League had established resupply and staging outposts on worlds just beyond the zone's boundaries, there was not enough support to shift their opinions.

Relations between herself and Zxyl Bes'uliik, who had retired from the post of [[Regent]] and returned to the Republic to lead the Traditionalist efforts, began to deteriorate as Anti-Traditionalist sentiment started to grow within the Republic. He had also levied against her that she was losing control of the situation, and that it was her responsibility to maintain peace within Taldryan. Assuring him she was doing her best, Zxyl warned her that if she did not get the job done properly that he would do so himself. To that end, she proposed sending her own Summit Guard and her forces to the front lines to strike at the outposts beyond the zone if he did the same with the Traditionalist Fleet, something that he easily agreed to.

While this worked out initially, for reasons she was unable to explain the sentiments against them continued to grow to the point where attacks against civilians began to occur in the streets and riots would break out targeting Traditionalist-aligned citizens. Mysterious shipping delays appeared to Traditionalist-aligned worlds, security checkpoint times drastically increased for their ships, and supply shortages suddenly appeared for things that there should never have been shortages for. The Administration Council Vice-Chair, Frei-Jar Binks, promised to help her try and solve what was going on and bring things back to a solid order.

{{Quote|Without honor, we are nothing but savages. Without loyalty, nothing but betrayers. It is these two virtues that make us who we are, and without them, make us who we should never be.| Cassandra Tyris}}

'''Cassandra Oriana Tyris''' is the '''Supreme Chancellor''' of the [[Taldryan Republic]], and a former '''Senator''' for the city of '''Caleria''' on the Republic capital world of [[Kasiya]]. She is the second to hold this station, and often times is referred to by the title given to her because of that: '''Lady Second'''. She is also a member of the '''Taldrya''', having been recently inducted into their roll after he constant and selfless devotion to the Republic.

== Early History (Birth - 40 ABY) ==
Remembering very little about her childhood's younger years, the first memories that Cassandra can recall were when she was discovered by a group of [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] warriors who were passing through an area that had been ravaged by an [[starwars:Imperial Remanant|Imperial Remnant]] group. They had found her with to the body of a woman, assumed to be her mother. At the time, according to them, she was no more than six years old. The area clearly had been destroyed a significant time ago, and even in a famished fatigued state, the young girl stood firmly against the Mandalorians with a spear in hand to defend her mother's corpse. Impressed by her bravery and resilience, they took her in as a foundling and raised her as their own on the ruined planet of [[starwars:Concord_Dawn|Concord Dawn]].

Growing up within the Mandalorian culture, she learned the importance of honor, strength, and loyalty. She was trained in the art of combat and became a skilled warrior in her own right. She quickly rose in both practical and intellectual knowledge, physical strength, and mastery of the [[Martial_Arts_Forms#Mandalorian_Core|Mandalorian Core]] martial art all by the age of 10 which earned the respect of her fellow Mandalorians.

Despite her loyalty to the Mandalorian way of life, the young girl had a deep desire to explore the galaxy and see what else was out there. When she reached the age of 13, Cassandra participated in her clan's rite of passage: ''verd'goten''. She was tested on everything she had learned, besting many of the more seasoned Mandalorians within the clan, and eventually was proclaimed an adult in their eyes. As an adult, she was given the choice to become a full Mandalorian, but she instead chose to leave the Mandalorians and embarked on a journey of self-discovery.

Upon her departure, she was given a [[starwars:beskar|beskar]] necklace which had a crest hanging from it with a symbol of a [[starwars: Quenker|Quenker]], the creature of which she had rescued a cub from when it was separated from its family and spent nearly a month to find its family and return it. On the same necklace was a purple and white pendant that she was told she had been found with, opening to reveal a quote inside: '"My stars, my life, I love you always and forever my precious Cassandra Oriana. - Alana Tyris, Mom"'

She had a name. Cassandra Oriana...Tyris. With bittersweet goodbyes, she made her way off of Concord Dawn and began exploring the galaxy. Compared to what she had been used to, it was a vast and endless place both with its positives, and its negatives.

=== Taldryan Days (36-40 ABY) ===
After many years of traveling the stars, journeying from system to system, she found herself on the moon [[Ostara]] in 36 ABY, a bustling world known for its diversity and tolerance. There, she became involved in local politics and began advocating for the rights of citizens who were often marginalized and overlooked by the ruling clan of [[Taldryan]]. Her efforts on behalf of the people of Ostara earned her a reputation as a passionate and effective advocate. She was eventually appointed as an advocate to the Taldryan leadership within the Citadel, the clan's base of operations, for the citizens and she worked tirelessly to improve the lives of those around her.

As her influence grew, an event known as the [[Elysia]] Incident occurred which resulted in solar flares from the Caelus Star striking the moon and severely disrupting its magnetic field. Organizing as many civilian transports as she could, Cassandra assisted in the evacuation of the world but inevitably she was unable to escape before ion storms engulfed the skies, destroying several transports already ascending towards space and preventing anyone else from leaving.

[[File:Casstraining.png|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra learning the art of Vaapad.]]

With the moon trapped in perpetual darkness, the only light coming from the constant storms far above in the atmosphere, Cassandra worked closely with the remaining Taldryan members and civilians that were still there to try and mete out a life for themselves. Most electronics fried, and it was several months before reinforced generators could be constructed and the first fringes of power restored to the Citadel. It had been noticed that she was force sensitive, something that priorly had been overlooked, during an attack on the Citadel ruins by a pack of rancor that intruded from the forest.

As one of them had moved towards a group of children, Cassandra placed herself between the group and the rancor and in her anger somehow had sent it staggering backwards with a deep indent in its chest. It had struggled to breathe, before it finally dropped to the ground and was dead. Upon seeing this, one of the [[Force Disciple|Force Disciples]] that was present on Ostara took her under his wing and helped teach her how to control her power and harness it. He also taught her the exquisite lightsaber art of [[Lightsaber_Forms#Form_8_-_Vaapad|Vaapad]], using his own force powers to help in hardening her emotions and mind to master it.

Several years passed before the [[Regent]] of the Brotherhood, [[Zxyl Taldrya]], managed to get through the ion storms. She was happy to learn that nearly everyone who had fled Ostara had survived. Upon being given the option to remain on Ostara or travel to the new capital on the moon [[Kasiya]], she chose to go. She knew those still there would be fine, as they all had gained immense strength and capabilities over those dark years, and wanted to work towards the betterment of the now reformed [[Taldryan Republic]] as a whole.

Shortly after arriving on Kasiya in 40 ABY and diving right into life as an advocate, she gained the attention of the leaders of the city of Caleria where she was living. They recognized not just her talent, but many of them remembered her and her efforts on Ostara years ago. She was asked to become a Senator for Caleria, to represent them and their interests within the Taldryan Senate.

At first, she was hesitant to take on such a responsibility. But after much reflection, she realized that this was an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of millions of people. She accepted the position and after moving to the capital of [[Port Kasiya]] she began her new role with passion and dedication.

As a senator, she worked to strengthen the ties between Port Kasiya and Caleria, as well as improve relations with the neighboring moon of [[Chyron]]. She also pushed for legislation that would help subsidize homes for the city's homeless population in Holmes, protect the environment, and promote sustainable practices. Despite facing opposition and criticism from some of her fellow senators, she remained steadfast in her beliefs and continued to fight for what she thought was right.

Over time, she became one of the most respected and influential politicians on Kasiya. Her leadership and dedication earned her the nickname '''"The People's Senator."''' Looking back on her life, she knew that she had come a long way from her humble beginnings as a foundling. She was proud of the person she had become and knew that her journey was far from over.

== Dark Whirlwinds (41 ABY) ==
=== The Second Chancellor ===
In early 41 ABY, [[starwars:Supreme_Chancellor|Supreme Chancellor]] and '''Lord First''' [[Appius Wight]] brought a motion before the senate to assist in the defense of the [[starwars:Saijo_sector|Saijo Sector]] directly to the south of their sector. Pirates had somehow managed to break through the extensive defensive perimeter that the Saijo monarchy had established along their southern border with the [[starwars:Kallea_sector|Kallea Sector]]. As part of his argument for supporting the assault, he warned what could happen should the pirates overtake the system as Taldryan's own home sector was next in their path. This was especially emphasized due to the mysterious disappearance of the '''Vice-Chancellor''' and Naval [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] [[Teebu Nyrrire]], which had already greatly weakened their naval offensive and defensive capabilities.

Despite the warnings, the senate overwhelmingly voted against their involvement in the war, as in their eyes there was not enough evidence to support any credence that the pirates would indeed move further north. Already they were far outside of their normal areas and for decades Saijo had blockaded every form of supply route that could have benefited Kallea, particularly the Corellian Trade Spine, and constantly authorized assaults into their territories. The citizens of Caleria were equally apprehensive and desired nothing more than to focus on themselves for now and continue finding ways to try and get back to Ostara, since all support in doing so from the Republic itself had all but faded. Due to this, Cassandra voted against joining the war as well.

She was stunned when barely a few days later word had reached her offices back in Caleria that the Supreme Chancellor had ignored the will of the senate and dispatched the [[Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet]] to assist the Saijo monarchy in fighting back the pirates. Almost immediately the senate called an emergency session with '''War Marshal''' [[Lee Starr]] presiding in the absence of both Chancellors. While many could understand the reasonings behind what he had done, many of the other senators could not get over the singular fact of the issue: he disobeyed a direct senate mandate. Finally, the senator of [[Chyron]] brought the motion for a [[starwars:Vote_of_No_Confidence|Vote of No Confidence]] in the Lord First's leadership. It fell largely against the expected lines, with Chyron and other Calerian senators all voting in favor, while most of [[Elysia]]'s and Kasiya's senators voted against it. Cassandra was one of just a few Calerian senators to vote against it, favoring instead severe sanctions against his office, given everything he had accomplished and done for the Republic. It came down to a solid tie, in which the War Marshal concurred with those voting in favor of his removal.

When the fleet returned, Appius had closed himself up in his office while the newly returned Vice-Chancellor Nyrrire assumed his post in leading the senate. When votes came up on who should be nominated to succeed him as the '''Second Chancellor''', [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Teebu Nyrrire of the Naval Fleet, nominated himself as he already had the post of Vice-Chancellor and direct succession made the most sense. However, before the vote could take place, once again the Chyron delegation stood against it. They cited his disappearance and the sudden appearance of damning evidence that he had been working with the main adversary of the Taldryan Republic, the [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]] as one of their officers the near half-year he had been gone. The cries to instead vote for another, similarly, were more vocal than anything else. Once Nyrrire retired himself from the chamber, the most prominent names went up. [[Jorm_"The_Jester"_Na'trej|Jorm Na'trej]], who was the Chancellor of Chyron, War Marshal Lee Starr of the Taldryan Strategic Operations Council, '''Koda Kendis''' the Chancellor of Elysia, among four others. Coming as a shock to both herself and a few others, Cassandra's name was thrown up alongside theirs.

Once her name was up the deliberations were not long before a vote was held and it was a close race between herself and Jorm Na'trej, the others trailing far behind. Ultimately, however, she pulled ahead in the later hours and the gap only grew. By the evening of the same day that both of the former Chancellors had been all but removed from power, she was now to assume the role of the Second Chancellor and '''Lady Second''', as the Taldryan Republic's new Supreme Chancellor.

=== Disappearances and a Mock War ===
The next day as she assumed her post and had her belongings transferred to '''Taldryan Tower''', she was stunned to find everything from her predecessor was gone. His quarters cleared out. His office was barren except for the large furniture that had been present before. Everything that could have indicated anyone had even been in this office was gone, leaving the illusion that she herself was the first to be there. Upon requesting an inquiry, she found out that Appius had disappeared from the city without so much as a word after the vote to remove him had taken place. Nyrrire, as well, had gone missing though the [[Office of Secret Intelligence]] had obtained evidence that he had been kidnapped by unknown renegades. Only one of his twin lightsabers remained and now was in her possession.

Initially she brought on the Elysian Chancellor, Koda Kendis, as her Vice-Chancellor but his longing for his home as well as the constant bustle of the bureaucracy proved to be not for him and she gracefully allowed him to return home. Following that, she identified someone who had served Taldryan in the past: The last Consul, [[Seraine_"Erinyes"_Taldrya_Ténama|Seraine "Erinyes" Ténama]].

Strangely enough, it wasn't her who sought Erinyes out but the exact opposite when Erinyes randomly visited Taldryan Tower to discuss the opening of a new vineyard in the northern reaches of the Karufr Lowlands. Excited about the prospect, the two traveled together to the area in question and started bonding over their love of wine. When Erin questioned where Koda was and how he was doing, Cassandra informed her of his recent resignation and that she stood alone at the summit. With everything that had happened to Taldryan the last several years, she made the decision to offer herself up to be the next Vice-Chancellor. The idea was brought before the Taldryan Republic Administrative Committee for a vote, and unanimously was approved. As was the vineyard, by Cassandra.

== [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]] (41 ABY) ==
=== The First Signs of Fracture ===
Late in 41 ABY, a heavily encrypted communication was sent by [[Grand Master]] [[Evant Taelyan]] directly to Cassandra's office. Up until this point, the Brotherhood had been fairly quiet aside from occasional requests for materials and goods, and this act was something that initially worried her. The Republic Senate held a strong stance against the Brotherhood, wanting to stand on its own two feet away from them. She, however, understood the connections between Taldryan and the Brotherhood and still ensured they were involved as directly as they chose to be and that loyalty to the Iron Throne was maintained.

[[File:CassandraTyris.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra the night before the start of the War.]]

The communication was short, brisk, and to the point. Both Cassandra and the Taldryan military were to report to a specific set of coordinates where a 'gate' had been constructed which lead to where the Children of Mortis were hiding. The plan was to infiltrate their home region on the other side of the gate known as the [[Ethereal_Realm|Ethereal Realm]]. Initially she brought this before the Senate and overwhelmingly was denied in the taking of Taldryan resources and military strength to do nothing but be the Iron Throne's 'dog', but after reminding them of what happened to Taldryan's old home of [[Karufr]] at the hands of the Brotherhood's Iron Navy and that the Republic in its current form would not be able to withstand a direct assault, the vote again was held and passed.

It was at this point the Taldryan Republic had entered it's second war, the [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]].

=== The Ethereal Realm ===
Being new to this level of leadership as a Chancellor, Cassandra elected to join her forces on the front lines during the initial assaults into the realm. The realm itself was unique in that the force was extremely unstable when it came to the force. At times she was forced to rely on her own physical strength and endurance, while other times she could fight almost endlessly across the battlefield with unending haste and stamina as if someone had turned on a water tap and just left it running. Other times she was able to utilize abilities of the force she had never learned or even considered using before that point.

Along with members of the Black Fire Brigade, a recently re-activated detachment of the Summit Guards, a good handful of Cassandra's closest friends whom were in the Taldryan Military chose to join the front lines of the Shattered Fields as well and fight alongside her with other Taldryanites that had gone as well. Taldryan itself held itself directly in the vanguard of the assaulting forces from the various clans, demonstrating its commitment to following the will of the throne.

A catastrophy would nearly occur however when herself, Shanree, and several others would break off from the front lines to traverse the Corpse Fields and get around to the backside of a massive fort which stood in the way of the main forces. This tactic had been considered by the Children, and an empowered force was sent to face off against them. The battle was grim from the start and as it went on, it looked as if they were all going to fall there. Channeling a newly invigorated level of the Force that had entered her body, Cassandra conjured a massive Force Storm into the sky. The enemy forces fell by the dozens, some of the bolts nearly taking down Shanree as well. He, however, as a [[starwars:Miraluka|Miraluka]] who could see with the Force, saw that this power was about to overwhelm and consume her. In a rather brash and selfish move, he dodged numerous bolts as he sprinted to her and dove into her, disrupting the flow of the storm and bringing it to an end.

=== Realization ===
Ultimately the tactic succeeded as the group reached the rear of the fort and fought their way inside, opening the front to provide a path for the military forces to enter. Once the fort had fallen and the army passed through the fields, only the Fortress of the Unchained which served as the Children of Mortis' base of operations, stood before them.

Easily this proved to be the most difficult part of the battle, though one perk of the fortress being similar to a massive castle, there were plenty of open windows for enemies to be telekinetically thrown out. Or, at times when she was empowered, making a window to throw them out using their bodies as hammers.

Deep within the fortress she came across a massive crystalline rancor, and saw [[Clan Plagueis]]' [[Consul]] [[Selika_Roh|Selika Roh]] and [[Alaris Jinn]], also from Plagueis, about to enter combat with it. She lept down from the balcony where she had just thrown several others out of a nearby window and offered to assist with the endeavor. After a significant fight of which the hard crystals of the rancor proved nearly indestructible, the three who each had a mastery of telekinetic powers, worked in tandem in a triangular formation and together telekinetically crushed the rancor. The three returned to their rightful assault forces and continued the fight. It was not long before the fortress was nearly overwhelmed, and victory was in reach.

After the fortress had fallen, a fall-back order was given by [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Dacien Victae]] to depart the realm with victory secured. With ships unusable, it was a long journey back to the portal. Once back on the outside, the Taldryan forces began to regroup and take count. It was at this point Cassandra noticed she was unable to sense the others that had came with her, and upon checking the casualty logs from the Medic Corps, fell aghast at what she saw. All seven of her military friends whom had joined her, had perished in various stages of the advance to the fortress.

=== Hero? ===
During the journey back to Caelus, Cassandra's thoughts did nothing but haunt her. *She* was the reason they were dead. The reason they were even with the vanguard to begin with, as none of them had ever been part of a front-line force before. They wouldn't have been there if not for her, and they would have been safe.

This was made worse for her after they had returned to the Caelus system to thunderous applause from the Republic, word having reached them first of her being declared a ''Hero of the War'''. To her, she was no hero. She knew she went into the war in a completely naive manner, something she should have instead ran through the military leadership and let them coordinate with her help. Instead, now she was being celebrated while the families of her friends mourned. Taldryanites toasted with her, while her friends never would again. Her mind continuously began to spiral downward, and as new issues and threats arose, she began to question herself and her choices.

With the instability that sat in her mind, a [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] Inquisitor by the name of ''Anders'' was sent by newly placed [[Grand Master]] Dacien to keep an eye on things within the Taldryan Republic. Given the nature of the Senate's stance towards them, if Cassandra fell from grace, he would not allow Taldryan to secede from them. This was a legitimate threat as following the sudden disappearance of [[Appius Wight|Appius]], it had already been brought up by the Senate.

She was far enough off of her normal routine that after Erinyes had been promoted to the post of ''Emissary of the Brotherhood'', Anders manipulated the list of candidates to replace her and ensured his own rise to Vice-Chancellor. This act placed him directly where he could both watch Cassandra, and ensure there were no treasonous acts against the Brotherhood by the senate of which he now had full access to.

== The Kasiyan Blizzard (41 ABY) ==
Her concern now, putting his deceptive and own treasonous act to the side, was the upcoming alignment of [[Huracan]] and [[Grannus]] to cause an eclipse on Kasiya, which was predicted to bring a massive snowstorm to the moon. The rest she was able to sense was connected to her time being gone, with the mental consensus questioning where she had been all this time.

Initially within projections, a request was put out to the Brotherhood at large at the senate's request to see if any volunteers would be willing to assist with the fallout from these storms. This action made Cassandra chuckle, as up until now they wanted nothing to do with the Brotherhood. It was like pulling rancor teeth to get them to do anything involving them, but now that a crisis was on their doorstep they made the motion before even speaking to her about it. Luckily, she had already put out requests, and answers came from all across...even Taldryan's traditional adversary, [[Clan Arcona]].

As the planets aligned, shorltly after forces from each of the Clans had arrived including some from the Council itself, the storm struck Kasiya just as predicted. The intensity, however, was far more severe than anticipated. Grannus' alignment resulted in a massive volcanic shift on the two worlds. This spawned a massive storm in which the temperatures were predicted to fall low enough to freeze even oxygen itself on the surface. After learning that the forces helping with civilian evacuations would not have enough time to secure but at least 35% of them and restore maybe a quarter of the power to the city, Cassandra left her post in the safety of the Senate Complex against the orders of Senator Frei-Jar whom had opted to grab a hold of her to stop her. This act resulted in her telekinetically throwing him through the senate chamber doors and into the main hallway as she turned and left, Frei-Jar left cowering in fear. Cassandra made her way to Port Kasiya to try and use her skills in Telekinesis to hold the storm off and buy the teams as much time as she could.

When she arrived at the highest building on the western edge of the city wearing a weather-resistant armor suit, however, she was shocked to see an Arconan named [[Ruka Tenbriss Ya-ir]] already there and about to do the exact same thing. Joining forces, they projected their telekinetic powers into a wide net which held the giant black storm just to the west of the city.

The gambit worked, at least partially. The storm was slowed by their collective efforts but gradually continued to make its way toward Port Kasiya. As the temperature plummeted, the power within her suit did the same. In under an hour the storm was on the edge of the city, Ruka all but nearly frozen solid and Cassandra's armor power levels gone and her own temperature began to plummet. In an unusual act, former [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]] arrived from orbit and added his own power to the duo to further hold it back. Despite his request for her to back off now, Cassandra refused due to Ruka being incapacitated yet not realizing that Ruka was still channeling telekinesis despite being frozen and continued to push herself to her absolute limits.

In a last ditch effort, Muz used a power that forced energy from the Force and blasted the storm back several miles which bought them a significant amount more of time and warmed the air around them but drained his own energy significantly. Taking that moment to gain a breath, Cassandra pulled off her now useless helmet and gulped in the slightly warmer air as the air in the suit had become stagnant when the life support system failed.

Others who had arrived to provide general support, having sensed Ruka's condition, were shocked at the fact that someone from Taldryan showed concern for an Arconae before themself given the negative relations and standing between the two. As the storm began to rage closer once again, Cassandra checked the status and the rescue efforts were around 80%. Needing to buy a little more time she forced herself back up and requested that Ruka be taken to safety as she once again raised her arms to slow its advance with Muz doing the same. The Arconans did as she had asked and fled into the building below.

The pair gave them as long as they feasibly could, the temperature already down to deadly levels again, but at the limit rescue efforts had just been completed. Far above, the Allegiance Battle Group was actively working to try and forcefully separate the two planets to try and bring an end to the storms but the magnetic pull between the two proved to be far too strong even at full bombardment on Huracan's surface. With that, they bolted down into the building as the storm quickly raged over the building and began forming ice inside of the quickly closed door.

About an hour later, as the center of the gap between the two planets came into view, the storms briefly backed off from the city. An idea had come across Muz' mind after hearing what the fleet above was doing, and requested to be taken to their flagship. Cassandra happily obliged and together they traveled to the [Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet] Flagship, the ''Leviathan''. A significant amount of the crew was shocked to see a non-Taldryan on board, but they dared not question it.

At the same time, the eye of the storm began to close as Huracan came into view of the star, and an even more intense storm began to form. Muz once again forced energy from the Force, this time on a far larger scale with multiple others including the ship's [[starwars:Admiral|Admiral]] offering as well.

Using what he could muster, the orbit of Grannus began to shift away from Huracan before it was eventually in the same orbit line and speed as Perune. As they were separated, the magma bursts and eruptions ceased and all seemed to go calm on Grannus. Muz fell to one knee completely exhausted, while most of the others completely passed out except for Cassandra who barely kept herself conscious.

== The Regent, The Mandalorian, The Traditionalist (41-42 ABY) ==
It was not long before Zxyl took notice during a visit to [[Port Kasiya]] following the snowstorm that something was wrong. Without even speaking to Cassandra, he noticed she was not the same as she had been when they met on Ostara, discussed details of Caleria's advancement, bringing the Axios back online, or even during the war. Using some of his contacts, he found out exactly what was going on and how it weighed on her mind. His first thought was of just how naive and inexperienced she truly was to have gotten into that state, but it was not something he would say. It was something that he full well knew she understood and aimed at herself far more negatively than he could ever try to convey.

During a conversation with Dasha 'Talus' Jalus in his tongue of Mando'a, he was surprised when the nearby Cassandra whom was sitting at the riverfront, responded and added to the conversation in the same language. While fairly rusty, it was still very accurate. The conversation between Dasha and him moved elsewhere to a more private setting, but he eventually returned to the riverfront and spoke with her. He asked her how she came to know that language, to which she explained her past. How she came to be a foundling after her mother's death, eventually leaving the clan who had taken her in to be able and explore the galaxy.

From his experiences with her, he knew her dedication to Taldryan. He never acknowledged her position as the Supreme Chancellor, instead as what she would have been: the Consul of Clan Taldryan. Despite that position no longer existing, she still acted like she was much to his impressment. Even when the Senate acted against ideals of attributes that defined it, she always stood steadfast against them. She even put herself in harms way during the war for the Clan. Anyone else, he would never have done this. But, after some time Zxyl made her an offer: He gave her a heavily encrypted data chip that had a set of coordinates on it, and if she wanted his help in becoming stronger not just for herself but for Taldryan's benefit she was to meet him there. Quietly.

While she was reluctant to leave the Republic in Anders' hands, she knew that Taldryan had to come first. And at this point she was in no shape to lead it, much less defend it. Without a hesitating thought she accepted his offer and immediately began making preparations.

=== The Brutal Tutilage of Bes'uliik ===
The coordinates lead her to a secluded and well-hidden world known as Nau'ur. As her ship descended on a pre-programmed course set from within the data chip, the landscape she saw reminded her much of the ruins of [[starwars:Yavin_4|Yavin 4]]. It was an impressive, quiet world to be sure. Once on the ground, she walked to the main temple in an athletic style outfit and a large duffle bag with extra clothing, boots, her lightsabers, and other gear.

Once there, Zxyl welcomed her to the home of the Bes'uliik Mandalorians. She was the first outsider to ever set foot here, and warned she had better not make him regret it. From the start, the terms were laid out. She was to listen to every order she was given, to perform every task that was assigned, and maintain honor during it above all else. This would not be a problem for her, she thought. However, he then included that she was to relinquish her lightsabers for the duration and the usage of force powers was strictly prohibited. He explained that this was because Mandalorians in nature did not use either, and if she was to become stronger, she would have to do the same in proving herself worthy and capable.

Not a word was spoken before she had her lightsabers out and presented to him, the same doubtless and no hesitating demeanor she showed on Kasiya. With that done, the training had begun the same day. At the start, she had issues suppressing her force usage due to her skills and nature as a Marauder. Using the force was almost passive to her, and learning to turn it off proved to be the most difficult task at that point.

Training would go through several months, each day becoming more and more difficult with more asked of her. Some tasks that would frighten, scare, or break normal people she powered through with incredible levels of resolve. Zxyl was nearly confident that she could probably face a [[starwars:Rancor|rancor]] down and probably still not flinch.

Just several days in she was forced to go head to head with six other Mandalorians in martial arts all at the same time immediately after having climbed a massive near-mile-high chasm wall deep within the depths of the forest. The time in which she had done so was already impressive as it was, but she managed to subdue four of the six before her stamina finally showed signs of real fatigue.

The battle was stopped at that point, much to Cassandra's surprise. He had learned exactly what he sought out to learn: her limits. Mentally, he knew them from his experience with her on Kasiya. With combat, that was another story with her prowess already being exceptionally high. At this point the real training would begin.

She was instructed by him personally when it came to the ideals, principles, and expectations of those who became Mandalorians under him. While not required to be to the same standards of which he held himself, such as never removing his helmet around others, she would have to uphold the ideals and principles. If she ever broke those, her life would be all but forfeit. He also taught her various types of philosophy, helping her bolster her mental strength. Drilled into her was the absolute fact that her strength and resolve would directly translate to the strength and resolve of Taldryan, and each time she stumbled it too would stumble. As a Consul, or 'Supreme Chancellor' he begrudgingly included, maintaining this was a baseline requirement as had been done by Consuls before her.

He also drilled into her that in war, people will die. Death is a fact of the galaxy and there is no stopping or preventing it, that even one day both him and her would die. When it came to moving forward, the most crucial step that the living could take was the honoring of the memories of the fallen and remembering them and what they stood for. In doing that, she could further increase her own resolve and strength by adding what they had given her in the time they knew each other.

With the physical aspects of the training, she was placed under the tutelage of other Mandalorians who had achieved mastery in different areas. Each day she trained herself in Martial Arts and hand-to-hand combat, ran miles on miles with the expectation of how much climbing each day, weight training with boulders and trees, and random tests on her knowledge of the Mandalorians and what Zxyl had been teaching her about their ideals and principles.

Several months would go by, and much as he had expected, she had not complained once. While she had faltered in the beginning, her skills and ability had sharpened. It was at this point he returned her lightsabers to her and began to train with her in lightsaber combat, knowing this was her strongest suit. When it came to ranged weaponry, she was not nearly as proficient compared to her close-quarters combat capabilities. She had also shown concern of what could occur within the Senate if it became known of what she was doing here, especially if she did pass the grueling tests being placed upon her.

Eventually, her skills with a lightsaber surpassed his own and on a regular basis he was bested when it came to dueling. Never once did she gloat, however, always eager to go again and have another match. Her abilities and skills had reached his own level, even exceeding it in several places. Without a doubt, she had easily become an elder-level combatant like himself.

[[File:Cassmastery.jpeg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra, with blonde hair, at the peak of her training after her sabers had been returned.]]

As a milestone test she once again was placed in combat against other Mandalorians after climbing the chasm in half of the time she did when she first attempted it, this time those fighting against her doubled to 16. One by one they were thrown to the ground, dodged, countered, and tripped, with not a single successful strike being made on her.

One of the nights after, Cassandra stared at herself in the mirror. She knew she had grown exponentially, both inside and out, but could not help but notice that to her she appeared the same visibly. In an act to definitively set upon the path she had now started to walk, she spent the next several hours bleaching her hair. It took several attempts to get the red out before finally she was left with a soft blonde color.

=== The Lady Second Reborn ===
It was already well into the start of 41 ABY before her training would be completed, nearly six months having passed. Cassandra was summoned before Zxyl at a large pool of water at a lake in the forest and presented with verd'goten. Where she had passed on it years ago, opting for a different life, she accepted it wholeheartedly and fully. While in the water, she recited the words of the Mandalorian Creed and became one of them.

Back at the temple, the two began to talk and discuss what would happen at this point. Zxyl told her that he would craft her a set of beskar armor, but knew that she would be unable to wear a traditional Mandalorian-style set, or openly bear any links to their clan as the fury of the Senate and the Republic would easily be directed at both him and the civilians within Caleria and on Ostara.

[[File:Cassbeskar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra arriving back in Port Kasiya in her Beskar Garb]]

He inquired if she had anything in mind to which she stated she had already thought ahead. She handed him a piece of parchment with a crudely drawn illustration of what the beskar armor could look like. It was divided into two sections, with cloth additions. The upper body, arms, and pauldrons would be in red with gold trim, and the lower body and gloves would be gold with dark gold trim. Attached to the pauldrons would be a red cloak with gold ornate trim and Taldryan's crest emblazoned on the back of it.

While it was not traditional, it was something he could work with as it was simple enough for her to actively and consistently wear. He internally acknowledged that she would not be exactly like him and the others, but if the time came she would be. Even then, she would without a doubt maintain the standards of the creed and continue to put Taldryan first as she always had before.

Several days later after continuing with training at her own behest, this time using the force to become reacquainted with it, she was once again summoned and presented with her armor and helmet. Much to her amazement, it was a solid fit just like a glove on her hand. And with that, she bid them farewell for now and began her journey back to Kasiya.

== The Fortress Cloudhaven and the Nightmare ==
Upon her return to Port Kasiya, work began to catch up on things that had fallen behind while she was gone. Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, had gone missing during an expedition to Mount Arreat and a team was dispatched with a recently returned Erinyes at the lead. As she looked into Cloudhaven more and more, however, she noticed that a significant amount of data in regards to it which had been secured behind a Chancellor-Eyes-Only access level had been deleted. Deleted by her predecessor, Lord First Appius Wight.

Status updates over the next week regularly came into her private office about what was occurring during the mission, the discovery of Karufr City, Anders' apprehension by the droids and security services that guarded the city, and their efforts at negotiating his release. Data from the city's archive was discreetly sent to her by the Governor of Karufr City, from which she learned a significant amount.

Mysteriously, aid and support from Port Kasiya had ceased despite continued requests and previous support having been given by the Chancellor's office. The frequency used to communicate had even been blacklisted across the entire city. The shield, even, which had been used to protect the city also masked it from the outside world.

[[File:Cassregal.jpeg|thumb|right|250px|Cassandra in one of her clothing sets, sitting upon the Chancellor's Throne.]]

Construction of Karufr City had been initiated by Appius, as a way to honor Taldryan's legacy before he evolved it into a Republic. Did he have doubts about what he had done, despite the shift in policy towards a people's Taldryan? Did he have fears of what the senate could potentially do given the rise of the Traditionalists with Zxyl at the lead? Already she had begun to align herself with some of the ideals of the Traditionalists after learning much about Taldryan's past the she had not known before, going back to its formation from a House decades prior. Knowing that, and looking at what the Senate now strived to do, she began to doubt their actions were for the benefit of Taldryan but instead for themselves.

Stranger even was the sudden stop of everything Appius had been doing there. The regular reports he input on an almost daily basis ceased on the same day he disappeared from Port Kasiya just hours before the Vote of No Confidence. Even the timeline of information regarding Karufr City being deleted matched up almost exactly, to a scary level of precision. Could the Senate have orchestrated his disappearance and the data being removed? It didn't make sense, but something was going on without a doubt.

An emergency signal was received from Erinyes and the team in Karufr City before she could delve any deeper. The droids and the defenses within the city had turned on them and the city security force for no reason, and the team narrowly escaped with their lives and Anders in tow. Overhearing conversations over the security officers' comms, it was ascertained that the droids had come from the Taldryan Great Hall; the capital building of Karufr City. Upon looking over the schematics of the city, a startling fact was realized. The Great Hall was the summit of the former Cloudhaven Fortress and was the main access to the heated and radioactive core of it.

With droids having been seen down on lower floors before, and the droid invasion occurring from there, she realized that something was happening within the fortress. Given the risk of the Senate's involvement in everything surrounding the city, she decided to have her newly appointed Magistrate, [[Alaisy Tir’eivra]], coordinate the quiet forming of a task force made up of non-military assets to investigate Cloudhaven Fortress. And she, eager to see if anything could be found regarding Appius' disappearance could be found there, would be going with.

[[File:Cassandrabar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra at a Port Kasiya bar, talking to Anders from his POV.]]

While the mission was being planned out, Cassandra invited Anders out for a drink which seemingly caught him off guard. After what he had done, he half expected to be chastized from one corner of Port Kasiya to the other. Instead, it was the exact opposite as she desired to get to know him better. Since what he had done was binding, and only an act of the Senate could undo it, if it were found out the Council would greatly frown upon him and probably pull him from the assignment and put him on Hoth. He couldn't argue that. So, the compromise was, they get to know each other better and he never try and circumvent her like that again. Reluctantly, he agreed though he couldn't help but sense she was fishing for something though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

In actuality, she was legitimately trying to make things as efficient as possible and her attempt was indeed sincere. She wanted to give no reasons or credence to specific nightmares that had begun to plague her in her sleep. Ever since when she had begun questioning the senate, and learning what Taldryan truly meant from Zxyl, she had doubts that they were acting in the best interests of it. But instead, for their own interests. The nightmare came as a nuclear scenario, as she stormed the Senate Complex with the full force of the Summit Guard and Cohors at her back. Naturally, the Senate Guard stood in opposition as their sole duty was the protection of the Senate, but the strength they had paled in comparison.

[[File:Cassnightmare.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra's nightmare where she assaulted the Senate Complex with her forces.]]

One after the other, the Senators and guards fell until eventually the complex was purged. At that point, she united the various cities and groups around Kasiya, and as Consul, restored Taldryan back to its original Clan status like it had existed before Appius. What concerned her the most, and the most vivid aspect of it all, was the orange eyes she had. The orange eyes of one who has fallen from grace as a Jedi. She needed to do all she could to avoid that scenario, even if it was just a nightmare and nothing more. History often was doomed to repeat itself, and she would not risk the lives of Taldryan people.

== The Dalicron War ==
=== Diplomatic Incident ===
In early 42 ABY, rumors had started to reach the Republic about a surge in power from a political entity known as the [[The Human League|Human League]]. Similarly to the events of Saijo, the Senate was apprehensive to push forward with anything in an effort to keep Taldryan distanced.

Even when reports crossed Cassandra's desk all but confirming the League's rise to power and the anticipated takeover of the [[starwars:Dalicron_Sector|Dalicron Sector]], all efforts to try and fend off the future threat that they could pose fell upon deaf ears. It wasn't until they started to reach the outer edges of the Western sector and blockaded the Frelos system world of ''Trexxa'' that she was able to convince them to allow her to send a diplomatic envoy to try and negotiate a cease fire.

Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, however would not let her attend in fear of what could happen. To him, the leader of the Republic had no business being in the middle of a war zone. As much as she disagreed with his thoughts, she knew he was correct. At that point, she remained behind on Kasiya while Anders lead the diplomatic team to Trexxa to meet with the Deputy-Leader of the League, General Kael Durran. In the middle of a Senate meeting, reports came that something had gone wrong.

She was in disbelief at what was coming back, even the video, showing the group assaulting the interior of Durran's Star Destroyer. Almost immediately she was summoned to an emergency meeting of the Administration Council where everything was being gathered and reviewed. The amount of regret she was beginning to feel as a diplomat, letting someone who was inexperienced in its virtues and mannerisms take point. More so, the anger in learning just who the team was that Anders had gathered for that particular mission. In an unsurprising move, the Council's Vice-Chair Frei-Jar Binks, proposed a resolution that would remove Anders from his position as Vice-Chancellor of the [[Taldryan Republic]].

In a way to pass off the anger and re-focus herself, she invited [[Ood Bnar]] from [[Clan Arcona]] to assist with investigating a strange white infection that was growing outward from the '''Forceless Forest''' into the '''Jagd Wastes''' on the western side of the moon. While investigating it, Anders had returned from Trexxa with the team and a family from the surface of Trexxa who was going to testify before the Senate about what the League was doing. [[Zuza Lottson]] also had travelled to [[Kasiya]] after sensing the high amounts of anger that Cassandra was housing within her. Cassandra was unable to hold back her rage and went off on Anders in front of everyone. That rage only grew after he explained his team selections were based on the assumption that they were going to be betrayed, and there was no intentions of going into negotiations.

It was at that point that Cassandra broke the news that he was no longer Vice-Chancellor because of his actions during this mission, which all but guaranteed that Taldryan was now going to war whether or not anyone liked it. As he accepted it and prepared to leave, she instead offered him his old post of Director of the Office of Secret Intelligence back. While he did not have political finesse, he did know what he was doing when it came to shadow work. So it made sense to put him back where they could use him most. Following that discussion and after Cassandra went on towards the Forceless Forest by herself, Zuza followed so they could have a discussion and she could help re-balance her mental state.

=== The Drums of War ===
As she had unfortunately predicted, the Senate voted to move the Taldryan Republic into war against the Human League.

{{Quote|Without honor, we are nothing but savages. Without loyalty, nothing but betrayers. It is these two virtues that make us who we are, and without them, make us who we should never be.| Cassandra Tyris}}

'''Cassandra Oriana Tyris''' is the '''Supreme Chancellor''' of the [[Taldryan Republic]], and a former '''Senator''' for the city of '''Caleria''' on the Republic capital world of [[Kasiya]]. She is the second to hold this station, and often times is referred to by the title given to her because of that: '''Lady Second'''. She is also a member of the '''Taldrya''', having been recently inducted into their roll after he constant and selfless devotion to the Republic.

== Early History (Birth - 40 ABY) ==
Remembering very little about her childhood's younger years, the first memories that Cassandra can recall were when she was discovered by a group of [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] warriors who were passing through an area that had been ravaged by an [[starwars:Imperial Remanant|Imperial Remnant]] group. They had found her with to the body of a woman, assumed to be her mother. At the time, according to them, she was no more than six years old. The area clearly had been destroyed a significant time ago, and even in a famished fatigued state, the young girl stood firmly against the Mandalorians with a spear in hand to defend her mother's corpse. Impressed by her bravery and resilience, they took her in as a foundling and raised her as their own on the ruined planet of [[starwars:Concord_Dawn|Concord Dawn]].

Growing up within the Mandalorian culture, she learned the importance of honor, strength, and loyalty. She was trained in the art of combat and became a skilled warrior in her own right. She quickly rose in both practical and intellectual knowledge, physical strength, and mastery of the [[Martial_Arts_Forms#Mandalorian_Core|Mandalorian Core]] martial art all by the age of 10 which earned the respect of her fellow Mandalorians.

Despite her loyalty to the Mandalorian way of life, the young girl had a deep desire to explore the galaxy and see what else was out there. When she reached the age of 13, Cassandra participated in her clan's rite of passage: ''verd'goten''. She was tested on everything she had learned, besting many of the more seasoned Mandalorians within the clan, and eventually was proclaimed an adult in their eyes. As an adult, she was given the choice to become a full Mandalorian, but she instead chose to leave the Mandalorians and embarked on a journey of self-discovery.

Upon her departure, she was given a [[starwars:beskar|beskar]] necklace which had a crest hanging from it with a symbol of a [[starwars: Quenker|Quenker]], the creature of which she had rescued a cub from when it was separated from its family and spent nearly a month to find its family and return it. On the same necklace was a purple and white pendant that she was told she had been found with, opening to reveal a quote inside: '"My stars, my life, I love you always and forever my precious Cassandra Oriana. - Alana Tyris, Mom"'

She had a name. Cassandra Oriana...Tyris. With bittersweet goodbyes, she made her way off of Concord Dawn and began exploring the galaxy. Compared to what she had been used to, it was a vast and endless place both with its positives, and its negatives.

=== Taldryan Days (36-40 ABY) ===
After many years of traveling the stars, journeying from system to system, she found herself on the moon [[Ostara]] in 36 ABY, a bustling world known for its diversity and tolerance. There, she became involved in local politics and began advocating for the rights of citizens who were often marginalized and overlooked by the ruling clan of [[Taldryan]]. Her efforts on behalf of the people of Ostara earned her a reputation as a passionate and effective advocate. She was eventually appointed as an advocate to the Taldryan leadership within the Citadel, the clan's base of operations, for the citizens and she worked tirelessly to improve the lives of those around her.

As her influence grew, an event known as the [[Elysia]] Incident occurred which resulted in solar flares from the Caelus Star striking the moon and severely disrupting its magnetic field. Organizing as many civilian transports as she could, Cassandra assisted in the evacuation of the world but inevitably she was unable to escape before ion storms engulfed the skies, destroying several transports already ascending towards space and preventing anyone else from leaving.

[[File:Casstraining.png|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra learning the art of Vaapad.]]

With the moon trapped in perpetual darkness, the only light coming from the constant storms far above in the atmosphere, Cassandra worked closely with the remaining Taldryan members and civilians that were still there to try and mete out a life for themselves. Most electronics fried, and it was several months before reinforced generators could be constructed and the first fringes of power restored to the Citadel. It had been noticed that she was force sensitive, something that priorly had been overlooked, during an attack on the Citadel ruins by a pack of rancor that intruded from the forest.

As one of them had moved towards a group of children, Cassandra placed herself between the group and the rancor and in her anger somehow had sent it staggering backwards with a deep indent in its chest. It had struggled to breathe, before it finally dropped to the ground and was dead. Upon seeing this, one of the [[Force Disciple|Force Disciples]] that was present on Ostara took her under his wing and helped teach her how to control her power and harness it. He also taught her the exquisite lightsaber art of [[Lightsaber_Forms#Form_8_-_Vaapad|Vaapad]], using his own force powers to help in hardening her emotions and mind to master it.

Several years passed before the [[Regent]] of the Brotherhood, [[Zxyl Taldrya]], managed to get through the ion storms. She was happy to learn that nearly everyone who had fled Ostara had survived. Upon being given the option to remain on Ostara or travel to the new capital on the moon [[Kasiya]], she chose to go. She knew those still there would be fine, as they all had gained immense strength and capabilities over those dark years, and wanted to work towards the betterment of the now reformed [[Taldryan Republic]] as a whole.

Shortly after arriving on Kasiya in 40 ABY and diving right into life as an advocate, she gained the attention of the leaders of the city of Caleria where she was living. They recognized not just her talent, but many of them remembered her and her efforts on Ostara years ago. She was asked to become a Senator for Caleria, to represent them and their interests within the Taldryan Senate.

At first, she was hesitant to take on such a responsibility. But after much reflection, she realized that this was an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of millions of people. She accepted the position and after moving to the capital of [[Port Kasiya]] she began her new role with passion and dedication.

As a senator, she worked to strengthen the ties between Port Kasiya and Caleria, as well as improve relations with the neighboring moon of [[Chyron]]. She also pushed for legislation that would help subsidize homes for the city's homeless population in Holmes, protect the environment, and promote sustainable practices. Despite facing opposition and criticism from some of her fellow senators, she remained steadfast in her beliefs and continued to fight for what she thought was right.

Over time, she became one of the most respected and influential politicians on Kasiya. Her leadership and dedication earned her the nickname '''"The People's Senator."''' Looking back on her life, she knew that she had come a long way from her humble beginnings as a foundling. She was proud of the person she had become and knew that her journey was far from over.

== Dark Whirlwinds (41 ABY) ==
=== The Second Chancellor ===
In early 41 ABY, [[starwars:Supreme_Chancellor|Supreme Chancellor]] and '''Lord First''' [[Appius Wight]] brought a motion before the senate to assist in the defense of the [[starwars:Saijo_sector|Saijo Sector]] directly to the south of their sector. Pirates had somehow managed to break through the extensive defensive perimeter that the Saijo monarchy had established along their southern border with the [[starwars:Kallea_sector|Kallea Sector]]. As part of his argument for supporting the assault, he warned what could happen should the pirates overtake the system as Taldryan's own home sector was next in their path. This was especially emphasized due to the mysterious disappearance of the '''Vice-Chancellor''' and Naval [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] [[Teebu Nyrrire]], which had already greatly weakened their naval offensive and defensive capabilities.

Despite the warnings, the senate overwhelmingly voted against their involvement in the war, as in their eyes there was not enough evidence to support any credence that the pirates would indeed move further north. Already they were far outside of their normal areas and for decades Saijo had blockaded every form of supply route that could have benefited Kallea, particularly the Corellian Trade Spine, and constantly authorized assaults into their territories. The citizens of Caleria were equally apprehensive and desired nothing more than to focus on themselves for now and continue finding ways to try and get back to Ostara, since all support in doing so from the Republic itself had all but faded. Due to this, Cassandra voted against joining the war as well.

She was stunned when barely a few days later word had reached her offices back in Caleria that the Supreme Chancellor had ignored the will of the senate and dispatched the [[Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet]] to assist the Saijo monarchy in fighting back the pirates. Almost immediately the senate called an emergency session with '''War Marshal''' [[Lee Starr]] presiding in the absence of both Chancellors. While many could understand the reasonings behind what he had done, many of the other senators could not get over the singular fact of the issue: he disobeyed a direct senate mandate. Finally, the senator of [[Chyron]] brought the motion for a [[starwars:Vote_of_No_Confidence|Vote of No Confidence]] in the Lord First's leadership. It fell largely against the expected lines, with Chyron and other Calerian senators all voting in favor, while most of [[Elysia]]'s and Kasiya's senators voted against it. Cassandra was one of just a few Calerian senators to vote against it, favoring instead severe sanctions against his office, given everything he had accomplished and done for the Republic. It came down to a solid tie, in which the War Marshal concurred with those voting in favor of his removal.

When the fleet returned, Appius had closed himself up in his office while the newly returned Vice-Chancellor Nyrrire assumed his post in leading the senate. When votes came up on who should be nominated to succeed him as the '''Second Chancellor''', [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Teebu Nyrrire of the Naval Fleet, nominated himself as he already had the post of Vice-Chancellor and direct succession made the most sense. However, before the vote could take place, once again the Chyron delegation stood against it. They cited his disappearance and the sudden appearance of damning evidence that he had been working with the main adversary of the Taldryan Republic, the [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]] as one of their officers the near half-year he had been gone. The cries to instead vote for another, similarly, were more vocal than anything else. Once Nyrrire retired himself from the chamber, the most prominent names went up. [[Jorm_"The_Jester"_Na'trej|Jorm Na'trej]], who was the Chancellor of Chyron, War Marshal Lee Starr of the Taldryan Strategic Operations Council, '''Koda Kendis''' the Chancellor of Elysia, among four others. Coming as a shock to both herself and a few others, Cassandra's name was thrown up alongside theirs.

Once her name was up the deliberations were not long before a vote was held and it was a close race between herself and Jorm Na'trej, the others trailing far behind. Ultimately, however, she pulled ahead in the later hours and the gap only grew. By the evening of the same day that both of the former Chancellors had been all but removed from power, she was now to assume the role of the Second Chancellor and '''Lady Second''', as the Taldryan Republic's new Supreme Chancellor.

=== Disappearances and a Mock War ===
The next day as she assumed her post and had her belongings transferred to '''Taldryan Tower''', she was stunned to find everything from her predecessor was gone. His quarters cleared out. His office was barren except for the large furniture that had been present before. Everything that could have indicated anyone had even been in this office was gone, leaving the illusion that she herself was the first to be there. Upon requesting an inquiry, she found out that Appius had disappeared from the city without so much as a word after the vote to remove him had taken place. Nyrrire, as well, had gone missing though the [[Office of Secret Intelligence]] had obtained evidence that he had been kidnapped by unknown renegades. Only one of his twin lightsabers remained and now was in her possession.

Initially she brought on the Elysian Chancellor, Koda Kendis, as her Vice-Chancellor but his longing for his home as well as the constant bustle of the bureaucracy proved to be not for him and she gracefully allowed him to return home. Following that, she identified someone who had served Taldryan in the past: The last Consul, [[Seraine_"Erinyes"_Taldrya_Ténama|Seraine "Erinyes" Ténama]].

Strangely enough, it wasn't her who sought Erinyes out but the exact opposite when Erinyes randomly visited Taldryan Tower to discuss the opening of a new vineyard in the northern reaches of the Karufr Lowlands. Excited about the prospect, the two traveled together to the area in question and started bonding over their love of wine. When Erin questioned where Koda was and how he was doing, Cassandra informed her of his recent resignation and that she stood alone at the summit. With everything that had happened to Taldryan the last several years, she made the decision to offer herself up to be the next Vice-Chancellor. The idea was brought before the Taldryan Republic Administrative Committee for a vote, and unanimously was approved. As was the vineyard, by Cassandra.

Late in 41 ABY, a heavily encrypted communication was sent by [[Grand Master]] [[Evant Taelyan]] directly to Cassandra's office. Up until this point, the Brotherhood had been fairly quiet aside from occasional requests for materials and goods, and this act was something that initially worried her. The Republic Senate held a strong stance against the Brotherhood, wanting to stand on its own two feet away from them. She, however, understood the connections between Taldryan and the Brotherhood and still ensured they were involved as directly as they chose to be and that loyalty to the Iron Throne was maintained.

[[File:CassandraTyris.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra the night before the start of the War.]]

The communication was short, brisk, and to the point. Both Cassandra and the Taldryan military were to report to a specific set of coordinates where a 'gate' had been constructed which lead to where the Children of Mortis were hiding. The plan was to infiltrate their home region on the other side of the gate known as the [[Ethereal_Realm|Ethereal Realm]]. Initially she brought this before the Senate and overwhelmingly was denied in the taking of Taldryan resources and military strength to do nothing but be the Iron Throne's 'dog', but after reminding them of what happened to Taldryan's old home of [[Karufr]] at the hands of the Brotherhood's Iron Navy and that the Republic in its current form would not be able to withstand a direct assault, the vote again was held and passed.

It was at this point the Taldryan Republic had entered it's second war, the [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]].

=== The Ethereal Realm ===
Being new to this level of leadership as a Chancellor, Cassandra elected to join her forces on the front lines during the initial assaults into the realm. The realm itself was unique in that the force was extremely unstable when it came to the force. At times she was forced to rely on her own physical strength and endurance, while other times she could fight almost endlessly across the battlefield with unending haste and stamina as if someone had turned on a water tap and just left it running. Other times she was able to utilize abilities of the force she had never learned or even considered using before that point.

Along with members of the Black Fire Brigade, a recently re-activated detachment of the Summit Guards, a good handful of Cassandra's closest friends whom were in the Taldryan Military chose to join the front lines of the Shattered Fields as well and fight alongside her with other Taldryanites that had gone as well. Taldryan itself held itself directly in the vanguard of the assaulting forces from the various clans, demonstrating its commitment to following the will of the throne.

A catastrophy would nearly occur however when herself, Shanree, and several others would break off from the front lines to traverse the Corpse Fields and get around to the backside of a massive fort which stood in the way of the main forces. This tactic had been considered by the Children, and an empowered force was sent to face off against them. The battle was grim from the start and as it went on, it looked as if they were all going to fall there. Channeling a newly invigorated level of the Force that had entered her body, Cassandra conjured a massive Force Storm into the sky. The enemy forces fell by the dozens, some of the bolts nearly taking down Shanree as well. He, however, as a [[starwars:Miraluka|Miraluka]] who could see with the Force, saw that this power was about to overwhelm and consume her. In a rather brash and selfish move, he dodged numerous bolts as he sprinted to her and dove into her, disrupting the flow of the storm and bringing it to an end.

=== Realization ===
Ultimately the tactic succeeded as the group reached the rear of the fort and fought their way inside, opening the front to provide a path for the military forces to enter. Once the fort had fallen and the army passed through the fields, only the Fortress of the Unchained which served as the Children of Mortis' base of operations, stood before them.

Easily this proved to be the most difficult part of the battle, though one perk of the fortress being similar to a massive castle, there were plenty of open windows for enemies to be telekinetically thrown out. Or, at times when she was empowered, making a window to throw them out using their bodies as hammers.

Deep within the fortress she came across a massive crystalline rancor, and saw [[Clan Plagueis]]' [[Consul]] [[Selika_Roh|Selika Roh]] and [[Alaris Jinn]], also from Plagueis, about to enter combat with it. She lept down from the balcony where she had just thrown several others out of a nearby window and offered to assist with the endeavor. After a significant fight of which the hard crystals of the rancor proved nearly indestructible, the three who each had a mastery of telekinetic powers, worked in tandem in a triangular formation and together telekinetically crushed the rancor. The three returned to their rightful assault forces and continued the fight. It was not long before the fortress was nearly overwhelmed, and victory was in reach.

After the fortress had fallen, a fall-back order was given by [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Dacien Victae]] to depart the realm with victory secured. With ships unusable, it was a long journey back to the portal. Once back on the outside, the Taldryan forces began to regroup and take count. It was at this point Cassandra noticed she was unable to sense the others that had came with her, and upon checking the casualty logs from the Medic Corps, fell aghast at what she saw. All seven of her military friends whom had joined her, had perished in various stages of the advance to the fortress.

=== Hero? ===
During the journey back to Caelus, Cassandra's thoughts did nothing but haunt her. *She* was the reason they were dead. The reason they were even with the vanguard to begin with, as none of them had ever been part of a front-line force before. They wouldn't have been there if not for her, and they would have been safe.

This was made worse for her after they had returned to the Caelus system to thunderous applause from the Republic, word having reached them first of her being declared a ''Hero of the War'''. To her, she was no hero. She knew she went into the war in a completely naive manner, something she should have instead ran through the military leadership and let them coordinate with her help. Instead, now she was being celebrated while the families of her friends mourned. Taldryanites toasted with her, while her friends never would again. Her mind continuously began to spiral downward, and as new issues and threats arose, she began to question herself and her choices.

With the instability that sat in her mind, a [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] Inquisitor by the name of ''Anders'' was sent by newly placed [[Grand Master]] Dacien to keep an eye on things within the Taldryan Republic. Given the nature of the Senate's stance towards them, if Cassandra fell from grace, he would not allow Taldryan to secede from them. This was a legitimate threat as following the sudden disappearance of [[Appius Wight|Appius]], it had already been brought up by the Senate.

She was far enough off of her normal routine that after Erinyes had been promoted to the post of ''Emissary of the Brotherhood'', Anders manipulated the list of candidates to replace her and ensured his own rise to Vice-Chancellor. This act placed him directly where he could both watch Cassandra, and ensure there were no treasonous acts against the Brotherhood by the senate of which he now had full access to.

== The Kasiyan Blizzard (41 ABY) ==
Her concern now, putting his deceptive and own treasonous act to the side, was the upcoming alignment of [[Huracan]] and [[Grannus]] to cause an eclipse on Kasiya, which was predicted to bring a massive snowstorm to the moon. The rest she was able to sense was connected to her time being gone, with the mental consensus questioning where she had been all this time.

Initially within projections, a request was put out to the Brotherhood at large at the senate's request to see if any volunteers would be willing to assist with the fallout from these storms. This action made Cassandra chuckle, as up until now they wanted nothing to do with the Brotherhood. It was like pulling rancor teeth to get them to do anything involving them, but now that a crisis was on their doorstep they made the motion before even speaking to her about it. Luckily, she had already put out requests, and answers came from all across...even Taldryan's traditional adversary, [[Clan Arcona]].

As the planets aligned, shorltly after forces from each of the Clans had arrived including some from the Council itself, the storm struck Kasiya just as predicted. The intensity, however, was far more severe than anticipated. Grannus' alignment resulted in a massive volcanic shift on the two worlds. This spawned a massive storm in which the temperatures were predicted to fall low enough to freeze even oxygen itself on the surface. After learning that the forces helping with civilian evacuations would not have enough time to secure but at least 35% of them and restore maybe a quarter of the power to the city, Cassandra left her post in the safety of the Senate Complex against the orders of Senator Frei-Jar whom had opted to grab a hold of her to stop her. This act resulted in her telekinetically throwing him through the senate chamber doors and into the main hallway as she turned and left, Frei-Jar left cowering in fear. Cassandra made her way to Port Kasiya to try and use her skills in Telekinesis to hold the storm off and buy the teams as much time as she could.

When she arrived at the highest building on the western edge of the city wearing a weather-resistant armor suit, however, she was shocked to see an Arconan named [[Ruka Tenbriss Ya-ir]] already there and about to do the exact same thing. Joining forces, they projected their telekinetic powers into a wide net which held the giant black storm just to the west of the city.

The gambit worked, at least partially. The storm was slowed by their collective efforts but gradually continued to make its way toward Port Kasiya. As the temperature plummeted, the power within her suit did the same. In under an hour the storm was on the edge of the city, Ruka all but nearly frozen solid and Cassandra's armor power levels gone and her own temperature began to plummet. In an unusual act, former [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]] arrived from orbit and added his own power to the duo to further hold it back. Despite his request for her to back off now, Cassandra refused due to Ruka being incapacitated yet not realizing that Ruka was still channeling telekinesis despite being frozen and continued to push herself to her absolute limits.

In a last ditch effort, Muz used a power that forced energy from the Force and blasted the storm back several miles which bought them a significant amount more of time and warmed the air around them but drained his own energy significantly. Taking that moment to gain a breath, Cassandra pulled off her now useless helmet and gulped in the slightly warmer air as the air in the suit had become stagnant when the life support system failed.

Others who had arrived to provide general support, having sensed Ruka's condition, were shocked at the fact that someone from Taldryan showed concern for an Arconae before themself given the negative relations and standing between the two. As the storm began to rage closer once again, Cassandra checked the status and the rescue efforts were around 80%. Needing to buy a little more time she forced herself back up and requested that Ruka be taken to safety as she once again raised her arms to slow its advance with Muz doing the same. The Arconans did as she had asked and fled into the building below.

The pair gave them as long as they feasibly could, the temperature already down to deadly levels again, but at the limit rescue efforts had just been completed. Far above, the Allegiance Battle Group was actively working to try and forcefully separate the two planets to try and bring an end to the storms but the magnetic pull between the two proved to be far too strong even at full bombardment on Huracan's surface. With that, they bolted down into the building as the storm quickly raged over the building and began forming ice inside of the quickly closed door.

About an hour later, as the center of the gap between the two planets came into view, the storms briefly backed off from the city. An idea had come across Muz' mind after hearing what the fleet above was doing, and requested to be taken to their flagship. Cassandra happily obliged and together they traveled to the [Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet] Flagship, the ''Leviathan''. A significant amount of the crew was shocked to see a non-Taldryan on board, but they dared not question it.

At the same time, the eye of the storm began to close as Huracan came into view of the star, and an even more intense storm began to form. Muz once again forced energy from the Force, this time on a far larger scale with multiple others including the ship's [[starwars:Admiral|Admiral]] offering as well.

Using what he could muster, the orbit of Grannus began to shift away from Huracan before it was eventually in the same orbit line and speed as Perune. As they were separated, the magma bursts and eruptions ceased and all seemed to go calm on Grannus. Muz fell to one knee completely exhausted, while most of the others completely passed out except for Cassandra who barely kept herself conscious.

== The Regent, The Mandalorian, The Traditionalist (41-42 ABY) ==
It was not long before Zxyl took notice during a visit to [[Port Kasiya]] following the snowstorm that something was wrong. Without even speaking to Cassandra, he noticed she was not the same as she had been when they met on Ostara, discussed details of Caleria's advancement, bringing the Axios back online, or even during the war. Using some of his contacts, he found out exactly what was going on and how it weighed on her mind. His first thought was of just how naive and inexperienced she truly was to have gotten into that state, but it was not something he would say. It was something that he full well knew she understood and aimed at herself far more negatively than he could ever try to convey.

During a conversation with Dasha 'Talus' Jalus in his tongue of Mando'a, he was surprised when the nearby Cassandra whom was sitting at the riverfront, responded and added to the conversation in the same language. While fairly rusty, it was still very accurate. The conversation between Dasha and him moved elsewhere to a more private setting, but he eventually returned to the riverfront and spoke with her. He asked her how she came to know that language, to which she explained her past. How she came to be a foundling after her mother's death, eventually leaving the clan who had taken her in to be able and explore the galaxy.

From his experiences with her, he knew her dedication to Taldryan. He never acknowledged her position as the Supreme Chancellor, instead as what she would have been: the Consul of Clan Taldryan. Despite that position no longer existing, she still acted like she was much to his impressment. Even when the Senate acted against ideals of attributes that defined it, she always stood steadfast against them. She even put herself in harms way during the war for the Clan. Anyone else, he would never have done this. But, after some time Zxyl made her an offer: He gave her a heavily encrypted data chip that had a set of coordinates on it, and if she wanted his help in becoming stronger not just for herself but for Taldryan's benefit she was to meet him there. Quietly.

While she was reluctant to leave the Republic in Anders' hands, she knew that Taldryan had to come first. And at this point she was in no shape to lead it, much less defend it. Without a hesitating thought she accepted his offer and immediately began making preparations.

=== The Brutal Tutilage of Bes'uliik ===
The coordinates lead her to a secluded and well-hidden world known as Nau'ur. As her ship descended on a pre-programmed course set from within the data chip, the landscape she saw reminded her much of the ruins of [[starwars:Yavin_4|Yavin 4]]. It was an impressive, quiet world to be sure. Once on the ground, she walked to the main temple in an athletic style outfit and a large duffle bag with extra clothing, boots, her lightsabers, and other gear.

Once there, Zxyl welcomed her to the home of the Bes'uliik Mandalorians. She was the first outsider to ever set foot here, and warned she had better not make him regret it. From the start, the terms were laid out. She was to listen to every order she was given, to perform every task that was assigned, and maintain honor during it above all else. This would not be a problem for her, she thought. However, he then included that she was to relinquish her lightsabers for the duration and the usage of force powers was strictly prohibited. He explained that this was because Mandalorians in nature did not use either, and if she was to become stronger, she would have to do the same in proving herself worthy and capable.

Not a word was spoken before she had her lightsabers out and presented to him, the same doubtless and no hesitating demeanor she showed on Kasiya. With that done, the training had begun the same day. At the start, she had issues suppressing her force usage due to her skills and nature as a Marauder. Using the force was almost passive to her, and learning to turn it off proved to be the most difficult task at that point.

Training would go through several months, each day becoming more and more difficult with more asked of her. Some tasks that would frighten, scare, or break normal people she powered through with incredible levels of resolve. Zxyl was nearly confident that she could probably face a [[starwars:Rancor|rancor]] down and probably still not flinch.

Just several days in she was forced to go head to head with six other Mandalorians in martial arts all at the same time immediately after having climbed a massive near-mile-high chasm wall deep within the depths of the forest. The time in which she had done so was already impressive as it was, but she managed to subdue four of the six before her stamina finally showed signs of real fatigue.

The battle was stopped at that point, much to Cassandra's surprise. He had learned exactly what he sought out to learn: her limits. Mentally, he knew them from his experience with her on Kasiya. With combat, that was another story with her prowess already being exceptionally high. At this point the real training would begin.

She was instructed by him personally when it came to the ideals, principles, and expectations of those who became Mandalorians under him. While not required to be to the same standards of which he held himself, such as never removing his helmet around others, she would have to uphold the ideals and principles. If she ever broke those, her life would be all but forfeit. He also taught her various types of philosophy, helping her bolster her mental strength. Drilled into her was the absolute fact that her strength and resolve would directly translate to the strength and resolve of Taldryan, and each time she stumbled it too would stumble. As a Consul, or 'Supreme Chancellor' he begrudgingly included, maintaining this was a baseline requirement as had been done by Consuls before her.

He also drilled into her that in war, people will die. Death is a fact of the galaxy and there is no stopping or preventing it, that even one day both him and her would die. When it came to moving forward, the most crucial step that the living could take was the honoring of the memories of the fallen and remembering them and what they stood for. In doing that, she could further increase her own resolve and strength by adding what they had given her in the time they knew each other.

With the physical aspects of the training, she was placed under the tutelage of other Mandalorians who had achieved mastery in different areas. Each day she trained herself in Martial Arts and hand-to-hand combat, ran miles on miles with the expectation of how much climbing each day, weight training with boulders and trees, and random tests on her knowledge of the Mandalorians and what Zxyl had been teaching her about their ideals and principles.

Several months would go by, and much as he had expected, she had not complained once. While she had faltered in the beginning, her skills and ability had sharpened. It was at this point he returned her lightsabers to her and began to train with her in lightsaber combat, knowing this was her strongest suit. When it came to ranged weaponry, she was not nearly as proficient compared to her close-quarters combat capabilities. She had also shown concern of what could occur within the Senate if it became known of what she was doing here, especially if she did pass the grueling tests being placed upon her.

Eventually, her skills with a lightsaber surpassed his own and on a regular basis he was bested when it came to dueling. Never once did she gloat, however, always eager to go again and have another match. Her abilities and skills had reached his own level, even exceeding it in several places. Without a doubt, she had easily become an elder-level combatant like himself.

[[File:Cassmastery.jpeg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra, with blonde hair, at the peak of her training after her sabers had been returned.]]

As a milestone test she once again was placed in combat against other Mandalorians after climbing the chasm in half of the time she did when she first attempted it, this time those fighting against her doubled to 16. One by one they were thrown to the ground, dodged, countered, and tripped, with not a single successful strike being made on her.

One of the nights after, Cassandra stared at herself in the mirror. She knew she had grown exponentially, both inside and out, but could not help but notice that to her she appeared the same visibly. In an act to definitively set upon the path she had now started to walk, she spent the next several hours bleaching her hair. It took several attempts to get the red out before finally she was left with a soft blonde color.

=== The Lady Second Reborn ===
It was already well into the start of 41 ABY before her training would be completed, nearly six months having passed. Cassandra was summoned before Zxyl at a large pool of water at a lake in the forest and presented with verd'goten. Where she had passed on it years ago, opting for a different life, she accepted it wholeheartedly and fully. While in the water, she recited the words of the Mandalorian Creed and became one of them.

Back at the temple, the two began to talk and discuss what would happen at this point. Zxyl told her that he would craft her a set of beskar armor, but knew that she would be unable to wear a traditional Mandalorian-style set, or openly bear any links to their clan as the fury of the Senate and the Republic would easily be directed at both him and the civilians within Caleria and on Ostara.

[[File:Cassbeskar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra arriving back in Port Kasiya in her Beskar Garb]]

He inquired if she had anything in mind to which she stated she had already thought ahead. She handed him a piece of parchment with a crudely drawn illustration of what the beskar armor could look like. It was divided into two sections, with cloth additions. The upper body, arms, and pauldrons would be in red with gold trim, and the lower body and gloves would be gold with dark gold trim. Attached to the pauldrons would be a red cloak with gold ornate trim and Taldryan's crest emblazoned on the back of it.

While it was not traditional, it was something he could work with as it was simple enough for her to actively and consistently wear. He internally acknowledged that she would not be exactly like him and the others, but if the time came she would be. Even then, she would without a doubt maintain the standards of the creed and continue to put Taldryan first as she always had before.

Several days later after continuing with training at her own behest, this time using the force to become reacquainted with it, she was once again summoned and presented with her armor and helmet. Much to her amazement, it was a solid fit just like a glove on her hand. And with that, she bid them farewell for now and began her journey back to Kasiya.

== The Fortress Cloudhaven and the Nightmare ==
Upon her return to Port Kasiya, work began to catch up on things that had fallen behind while she was gone. Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, had gone missing during an expedition to Mount Arreat and a team was dispatched with a recently returned Erinyes at the lead. As she looked into Cloudhaven more and more, however, she noticed that a significant amount of data in regards to it which had been secured behind a Chancellor-Eyes-Only access level had been deleted. Deleted by her predecessor, Lord First Appius Wight.

Status updates over the next week regularly came into her private office about what was occurring during the mission, the discovery of Karufr City, Anders' apprehension by the droids and security services that guarded the city, and their efforts at negotiating his release. Data from the city's archive was discreetly sent to her by the Governor of Karufr City, from which she learned a significant amount.

Mysteriously, aid and support from Port Kasiya had ceased despite continued requests and previous support having been given by the Chancellor's office. The frequency used to communicate had even been blacklisted across the entire city. The shield, even, which had been used to protect the city also masked it from the outside world.

[[File:Cassregal.jpeg|thumb|right|250px|Cassandra in one of her clothing sets, sitting upon the Chancellor's Throne.]]

Construction of Karufr City had been initiated by Appius, as a way to honor Taldryan's legacy before he evolved it into a Republic. Did he have doubts about what he had done, despite the shift in policy towards a people's Taldryan? Did he have fears of what the senate could potentially do given the rise of the Traditionalists with Zxyl at the lead? Already she had begun to align herself with some of the ideals of the Traditionalists after learning much about Taldryan's past the she had not known before, going back to its formation from a House decades prior. Knowing that, and looking at what the Senate now strived to do, she began to doubt their actions were for the benefit of Taldryan but instead for themselves.

Stranger even was the sudden stop of everything Appius had been doing there. The regular reports he input on an almost daily basis ceased on the same day he disappeared from Port Kasiya just hours before the Vote of No Confidence. Even the timeline of information regarding Karufr City being deleted matched up almost exactly, to a scary level of precision. Could the Senate have orchestrated his disappearance and the data being removed? It didn't make sense, but something was going on without a doubt.

An emergency signal was received from Erinyes and the team in Karufr City before she could delve any deeper. The droids and the defenses within the city had turned on them and the city security force for no reason, and the team narrowly escaped with their lives and Anders in tow. Overhearing conversations over the security officers' comms, it was ascertained that the droids had come from the Taldryan Great Hall; the capital building of Karufr City. Upon looking over the schematics of the city, a startling fact was realized. The Great Hall was the summit of the former Cloudhaven Fortress and was the main access to the heated and radioactive core of it.

With droids having been seen down on lower floors before, and the droid invasion occurring from there, she realized that something was happening within the fortress. Given the risk of the Senate's involvement in everything surrounding the city, she decided to have her newly appointed Magistrate, [[Alaisy Tir’eivra]], coordinate the quiet forming of a task force made up of non-military assets to investigate Cloudhaven Fortress. And she, eager to see if anything could be found regarding Appius' disappearance could be found there, would be going with.

[[File:Cassandrabar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra at a Port Kasiya bar, talking to Anders from his POV.]]

While the mission was being planned out, Cassandra invited Anders out for a drink which seemingly caught him off guard. After what he had done, he half expected to be chastized from one corner of Port Kasiya to the other. Instead, it was the exact opposite as she desired to get to know him better. Since what he had done was binding, and only an act of the Senate could undo it, if it were found out the Council would greatly frown upon him and probably pull him from the assignment and put him on Hoth. He couldn't argue that. So, the compromise was, they get to know each other better and he never try and circumvent her like that again. Reluctantly, he agreed though he couldn't help but sense she was fishing for something though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

In actuality, she was legitimately trying to make things as efficient as possible and her attempt was indeed sincere. She wanted to give no reasons or credence to specific nightmares that had begun to plague her in her sleep. Ever since when she had begun questioning the senate, and learning what Taldryan truly meant from Zxyl, she had doubts that they were acting in the best interests of it. But instead, for their own interests. The nightmare came as a nuclear scenario, as she stormed the Senate Complex with the full force of the Summit Guard and Cohors at her back. Naturally, the Senate Guard stood in opposition as their sole duty was the protection of the Senate, but the strength they had paled in comparison.

[[File:Cassnightmare.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra's nightmare where she assaulted the Senate Complex with her forces.]]

One after the other, the Senators and guards fell until eventually the complex was purged. At that point, she united the various cities and groups around Kasiya, and as Consul, restored Taldryan back to its original Clan status like it had existed before Appius. What concerned her the most, and the most vivid aspect of it all, was the orange eyes she had. The orange eyes of one who has fallen from grace as a Jedi. She needed to do all she could to avoid that scenario, even if it was just a nightmare and nothing more. History often was doomed to repeat itself, and she would not risk the lives of Taldryan people.

== The Dalicron War ==
=== Diplomatic Incident ===
In early 42 ABY, rumors had started to reach the Republic about a surge in power from a political entity known as the [[The Human League|Human League]]. Similarly to the events of Saijo, the Senate was apprehensive to push forward with anything in an effort to keep Taldryan distanced.

Even when reports crossed Cassandra's desk all but confirming the League's rise to power and the anticipated takeover of the [[starwars:Dalicron_Sector|Dalicron Sector]], all efforts to try and fend off the future threat that they could pose fell upon deaf ears.

It wasn't until they started to reach the outer edges of the Western sector and blockade the world of ''Trexxa'' that she was able to convince them to allow her to send a diplomatic envoy to try and negotiate a cease fire.

Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, however would not let her attend in fear of what could happen. To him, the leader of the Republic had no business being in the middle of a war zone. As much as she disagreed with his thoughts, she knew he was correct.

At that point, she remained behind on Kasiya while Anders lead the diplomatic team to Trexxa to meet with the Deputy-Leader of the League, General Kael Durran. In the middle of a Senate meeting, reports came that something had gone wrong.

She was in disbelief at what was coming back, even the video, showing the group assaulting the interior of Durran's Star Destroyer.

Envoy Corps

== Objective ==
Guided by the [[Exarch]], the '''Envoy Corps''' tackles bounties, contracts, and missions that burnish the Brotherhood's reputation among the galaxy's power players. Renowned for their expertise and shrewdness, Envoys deploy in diverse pairs or teams, drawing upon specialists from all seven clans and their associated allies. With conditional advisement from the [[Emissary]] or [[Herald]], the Envoy Corps seeks to bolster the Brotherhood's standing with its current and potential allies while countering propaganda being spread by their adversaries.

The Envoy Corps was formed out of a need to better establish the Brotherhood's efforts in building a positive image on the greater stage of the Galaxy, while also bridging relationships between he Clans and the Council. While it might look like a public-relations gambit on the surface, the Council put their full weight and support behind the Envoy Corps and trusted that it would become a vital key to their strategy of success.

[[File:Marick-Exarch.jpeg|203x203px|left|thumb|Exarch [[Marick Tyris Arconae]]]]

As the Brotherhood continues to find itself up against other powerful organizations in the Unknown Regions, Grand Master [[Evant Taelyan]] green lit a new initiative proposed by former High Councilor [[Alethia Archenksova]] in '''40 ABY'''. This initiative would serve multiple purposes, with the primary being the improvement of the [[The Council]]'s reputation with the seven Clans and their respective allies. Parallel in importance was the Brotherhood's image to both rivals and potential trade partners which, in theory, would lead to more opportunities for cementing their seat of power and the growth of commerce.

Alethia was appointed as the Brotherhood's first [[Exarch]], and laid the foundation that would lead to eventual codification of the Envoy Corps.

When Archenksova was elevated to the Council role of ''Headmistress'', she called upon a trusted colleage who been consulting remotely until that point. So it was that retired [[Voice of the Brotherhood]] - [[Marick Tyris Arconae]] - took over as the new Exarch. Tyris leveraged his extensive experience and background in overseeing the restructuring of the [[Inquisitorius]], his respect with the active Council members aiding in clearing the administrative and technical hurdles required to bring the Envoy Corps to life.

With the Envoy Corps undertaking its first missions, Marick began to organize and deploy Brotherhood members and personnel.

Envoy's come in all shapes and sizes. While the main body of the Envoy Corps is made up of members from all seven Clans of the Brotherhood, it also employees a diverse range of pilots, administrators, coordinators, and other resources from across the Galaxy. As their presence and impact grows within the Unknown Regions and expands towards the Outer Rim, the Exarch has made efforts to ensure that recruits come from different social and economical classes, by pulling promising graduates from universities, as well as visiting orphanages and working with veterans to help find new opportunities for them after careers of war.

Envoy's are not required to wear uniform, but can be often seen sporting the tailored threads bearing the Envoy Corps insignia across the chest. While there is room for creativity and alterations, the ''Brotherhood-issued'' Envoy Threads are a light armor designed to be fashionable and tailored to fit. They are comprised of a long coat with a matching vest, pants, boots, and optional hat all woven from a lightweight armorweave material.

Beyond that, there are a few recurring staff members that can often be found representing the Envoy Corps.

=== Charron Reddick ===

}}

Having "retired" from active service as a Grand Inquisitor, [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/character_sheets/18552 Charon Reddick] came out of retirement to help aid Exarch [[Marick Tyris Arconae]] in bolstering Envoy Corps operations. The two shared a long history working together in the Inquisitorius while Marick was serving as Voice. This relationship made it easy for Marick to trust Charon with being the "face" of the Envoy Corps as its "Concierge".

Charon carries the reputation of his former moniker: The ''Ferryman''. Not only does he still retain one of the highest success rates for the number of missions he has successfully carried out, he was known, especially in his prime, for his ability to act the stoic executioner when called upon.

As was discovered during the recovery of stolen information from the Envoy Corps, he is also quite a fan of Eastern Expanse comic books and novella's and was revealed to have a sizable collection.

== Headquarters and Locations ==
While the Envoy Corps operates across the galaxy, the headquarters are centered in the [[Arx System]], with facilities established on the main planets moon: [[Arx Minor]].

=== Lunar Training Facility ===
[[File:MoondBasePicture.jpeg|300px|none|thumb|Entrance on Arx Minor.]]

The [[Lunar Training Facility]] on [[Arx Minor]] serves as the base of operations for the Envoy Corps. It is where the Exarch's office is located, above which sits a detention and processing facility for bounties and contracts. From where ships can dock, there is an atmospheric bubble in place to allow breathing for oxygen-requiring species.

==== Exarch's Office ====
[[File:Exarch-Office.png|thumb|150px|right|Exarch's office.]]
On the second floor of the Lunar Training Facility sits the Exarch's office. A long, sectional desk with multiple monitors and terminals sit beneath large viewports overlooking both planet Arx and the rest of Arx Minor. The cable management is impeccable, with no excess or clutter anywhere to be seen. Thanks to the current Exarch's preferences, there is a place for everything, neatly organized, and plenty of room for temporary documents, plans, or projects to be worked on. A full reception area can host a few guests, as well as a holoprojector for local presentations of missions or data. There is also a holocam station set up for the Exarch to send or record or send out mission briefings to Envoys in the field.

=== The Flitz ===
[[File:Hotel-starwars-1.png|294x294px|thumb|left|The flagship Flitz Hotel on Arx Minor]]

'''Arx Minor Location''' 

''The Flitz'' is a chain of luxury hotels that have been constructed around Brotherhood space. The main location, however, can be found on Arx Minor, open to any members of the Brotherhood's various societies that are passing through the Arx System. Liaisons for the [[Inquisitorius]], [[Grand Master's Royal Guard]], [[Shroud Syndicate]] are often stationed there, with full service concierge and amenities available to guests. It is also linked to the [[Lunar Training Facility]].
[[File:Hote-starwars-2.png|324x324px|thumb|right|The entrance to the Flitz.]]

The hotels themselves manifest as a wedge-shaped building made of dark, sleek moonstone mined from the core of Arx Minor. There is only a single entrance, always with a bright, glowing, golden light. Small square windows, symmetrical to the buildings design mimic the glow of the entrances inviting light.

Upon entering, sliding glass doors open to reveal a well lit lobby with plush couches and a bar with a long marble counter.
 

Two fountains flank the entry-way carpet that leads down the hall to the front desk, where Charon Reddick is usually found waiting. There is another linked hallway that leads to a secure underground meeting location for VIPs, and a connection to the Lunar Training Facility.

On the upper floor, and towards the rear of the facility is the Central Monitoring station, which allows security to keep an eye on the various amenities and hallways.

[[File:Monitoring-station-flitz.png|250px|thumb|none|Monitoring station.]]

'''Eos City Location''' 
Located in the heart of Arx's capital city, the guests that stay at the Eos City ''Flitz'' are usually VIPs doing work or having business with [[the Council]], the [[Iron Forces]], or the [[Aurora Collegium of Sciences]]. It features full executive amenities, dining, and valet parking vouchers.

=== The Shame Corner ===
* ''[[The Shame Corner|Main Article]]''
<blockquote>In the dark of space along the Hydian Way, a black dwarf star sits, neither lonely nor forgotten. Its gravity well is used as an anchor for one of many millions of service stations and rest stops that dot the intergalactic space-routes: Station 0H40-S0, more fondly known as The Shame Corner. With connections to the Envoy Corps, the station provides not only respite and refueling for members bearing the insignia, but also serves as a port for any galactic denizen, and all kinds walk, hover, or wheel through its doors.</blockquote>

After pressing in deeper and find some disturbing intelligence on the kinds of experiments transpiring, the Envoys encountered mutated monsters of different varieties.
After successfully fighting off the first wave, the party wisely noted that there was more than just a simple staging site. The laboratory was fully guarded by a cadre of strange looking soldiers. The Envoys decided to tactically reposition and to report what was found the Headmistress and Exarch.As they filed out, running in tandem and alternating cover fire, the Envoys escaped. A shuttle was dispatched, and the Envoys lifted off from the swamps of Uskil and headed to the fortified walls of the Shadow Academy.

|'''Objective''' On a remote asteroid-based research facility deep in the Unknown Regions, rumors have swirled of an ancient Nightsister artifact known as the Sceptre of Tu'Torial. Legend says that any who wield the fabled artifact would be able to harness the power once reserved for the great Mother Talzin, and bend it to their whim. The Collective, in their bid to regain power, have seized control of the facility and have begun to delve into learning the secrets of the Sceptre, and must be stopped at any cost. The Exarch has been given special clearance to call in a usually reserved asset of the Brotherhood: the Star Chamber, as well as a select few Envoys suitable to the task at hand.
 '''Mission Log''' 
Thanks to Aylin's quick thinking and slicing to get the schematics of the building, Grand Master Muz Ashen was able to "carve" a shortcut to the Sceptre. The artifact was retrieved and the team successfully extracted, but more research would be needed to uncover the secrets.

The last is unknown, though the Regent, using his vast resources in Arx Capital Exchange, has found a broken holocron made by one of Scimitar's enemies that may yet reveal the location of Scimitar's last soul-bound artifact.

A group of survivors confront them, and the team successfully defuse the hostility, gaining the trust of the townsfolk. However, they are then attacked by a swarm of cultists worshipping the Immortal Sith. The team fight them off, though Sagitta is kidnapped. She manages to leave a trace behind so the rest of the team can follow her. They follow her to a cave which was secretly a Sith Temple. Inside, Sagitta is sacrificed, the dagger with the soul fragment of Darth Scimitar plunged into her heart. Instead of dying, she is instead possessed, gaining significantly more power under Scimitar's influence. The team battle the possessed Mirialan, defeating her. In a final act of vengeance, Scimitar released her from his possession, letting her wounds take over her. Tahiri and Savran successfully heal the worst of the damage whilst Hector conducts a Force ritual to keep her from death. The dagger was destroyed, and Nyssa hailed their transport as Titius blows up the temple.

The team escape, battered, bit determined to continue in the hunt for the remaining artifacts.

|'''Objective''' A report came in from the planet Gonda, a small out of the way planet, that professor Jonz’ind’iana had gone missing while investigating a newly discovered temple on behalf of the Shadow Academy. The Envoy Corps had been contracted to find out what happened, locate the professor and bring him back to the shadow academy to continue his research.
 
'''Mission Log''' 
Upon arrival at the mysterious temple, the Envoy team quickly discovered that things were not as they seemed. An ancient Rakatan temple, a missing research team and the camp in disarray. After thoroughly investigating the scene, the team discovered a patch clutched tightly in the cold hand of a dead researcher. The team’s next stop was a small unnamed village nearby looking for leads on who the patch belonged to. A pair of confrontations led to a pile of dead pirates and a chance encounter with a street urchin willing to help the team and lead them to their final destination, her family's farm. Making a stealthy entrance, the team picked off the pirates one by one through blasters, mind control, hand to hand combat and more and after avoiding a hostage situation they were able to rescue the professor, his research and a Rakatan crystal skull.

|'''Objective''' TROUBLE IN THE OUTER RIM. On the remote planet JABIIM—once home to a base for the Hidden Path—survivors from the destruction of Hosnian Prime have settled into small mining communities to live peacefully and export the planet's lone resource of value. Peaceful, that was, until the opportunistic [[The Empty Eyes]] gang moved in, set up operations in an abandoned base and started to harass and prevent the locals from trading freely. The denizens of Jabiim have broadcasted a request for aid, but lack any real hope. [[Marick Tyris Arconae]] — [[Exarch]] of the Brotherhood — has put out a call to the newly formed Envoy Corps for their first operation.
 
'''Mission Log''' 
After reaching Jabiim, the party split up, with Adem and Nicfer infiltrating the town while the others scouted and found the optimal attack vector. Adem and Nicfers efforts paid off by getting them back-door access to the bases defenses, giving the rest of the team and advantage in the fight that followed.

In the end, the team was able to successfully apprehend Sylvian Blaine, putting an end to the Empty Eyes control over the remote mining town.

=== Bounties ===

Sometimes a troublemaker needs to be captured and taken off the space lanes for the safety and betterment of the Galaxy. Bounties are issued by the Envoy Corps only when the target presents a considerable threat to the peace or safety of the businesses and allies of the Brotherhod.

Despite their best efforts, Inquisitorius Agents have failed to apprehend the Mercenary as the security around the Devil’s Dandy is tight. It will likely require more than brute force to gain entrance.

|Merrin Kelina was the leader of the “Red Fangs” - a pirate group who have been interrupting trade lines between the Brotherhood and Severian Principate. A known Force-user with formidable personnel, Inquisitorius agents have found the location of the Red Fangs base, and have confirmed that Merrin had been spotted on the base on the planet Arvala-7 during a routine regrouping.
The Exarch dispatched a team of Envoys to bring her in- alive.

|Marlo Bronto defected from the Envoy Corps with a stolen datapad containing sensitive information on Brotherhood operations. A team of six operatives, Kadrol, Sival, Archian, Von Ricmore, Eiko and Titius was summoned by Cordelia, an Envoy Corps officer to retrieve the datapd. The team travelled to port Ol'val where Marlo was hiding on a warehouse. They fought through a wave of hired mercenaries on the first level of the warehouse and reached the second level where a sniper ambushed them, badly injuring Kadrol. After a successfull attempt at smoking Marlo out with Dioxis gas, the team, now divided in two was both able to surround Marlo, kill the elusive sniper and recover the datapad. Ina desperate attempt to take his own life, alongside Sival's and kadrol's, Marlo activated a thermal grenade. Sival attempted to hurl the grenade far away but wasn't fast enough. They were rescued by Wyndel Tyris who had sensed danger coming from the warehouse when he was passing by. Before returning the datapad to Cordelia, Eiko managed to access it, revealing the stolen information was mostly Eatern expanse novels purchased by Charon reddick, and some Brotherhood secrets...

|Shin’era Terlan—charged with impersonating Inquisitorius agents and committing acts of violence against an innocent town on the planet Nevarro in an effort to frame the Brotherhood as malicious—has been subdued and captured. A team of Envoy's was able to fight through her bodyguards and a band of pirates to catch her before she could flee on her modified speeder. Through a team effort, it was the Iktotchi, Cade, who managed to land a crippling blow with his lightsaber, cutting the fleeing Togruta’s arm off at the shoulder.
The Envoy Corps shuttle handed Terlan to the enforcers at the Envoy Corps headquarters on Arx minor, where she was placed in maximum security holding designed to contain and interrogate even the most elusive of Elder Shadows. Some time later, a statement would be released by Shin'era Terlan herself, taking credit for her actions on Nevarro and clearing the Brotherhood’s name in relation to the incident.

=== Recurring Storylines ===

==== Uskil Uncharted ====
It had been two long years since the SARLACC incident at the Corrino Research Laboratory. On [[Uskil]], teams of cartographers, droids, and drones have made progress in mapping the continent, albeit slowly thanks to the Collegium's shift in focus on studying the Children of Mortis' technology. Everything seemed to be running smoothly, until strange anomalies began to pop up across Uskil. Expedition teams have started to go missing. Any recordings or evidence that have been found or recovered reveal little beyond flashes of claws and fangs, tentacles and tendrils, and the shrieks of the dying.

In response, Headmistress [[Alethia Archenksova]] enlisted the help of the Envoy Corps to investigate these troubling occurrences before matters escalated or got any worse. The [[Exarch]] assembled and deployed a team that was able to investigate the crash site, and follow clues that lead them to a hidden underground base. After fighting a mixture of robotic and mutant creatures, they discovered what appeared to be a laboratory belonging to former star scientist Dr. Shelby Watenka. Seeing that they were outnumbered, the Envoys took this field data and tactically retreated and reported their findings to the Exarch.

Sometime later, a Collegium research facility fell under siege by the very same monsters. While the Iron Legion scrambled to provide support, and the researchers worked diligently to save and preserve all their data and equipment, it was thanks to the team of Envoys that rose up to defend the outpost until reinforcements could arrive. While the researchers were evacuated safely, and the Iron Legion was able to repel the remaining waves of attackers, Dr. Watenka is still at large, and could be plotting her final move...

==== The Immortal Sith ====

During the assault in which Brotherhood forces infiltrated the Ethereal Realm to confront the Children of Mortis, it was revealed thanks to surveillance captured on the field that they had a new, powerful threat to vanquish. A Sith, a tall, slender and pale Rattataki wielding cross-guard lightsabers surviving fatal blows that no mere mortal should have been able to. It was decided by the [[Exarch]], that a team would be sent to remove this Sith’s immortality and destroy him once and for all.

For the '''first artifact''', the Sith Ritual Dagger, was traced to an enclave on Dantooine. It was revealed to the team that people within the settlement were being kidnapped and taken away by cultists to never be seen again. They were then attacked by said cultists. Though outnumbered, they managed to fend them off apart from [[Sofila Douve Armis|Sofila "Sagitta" Douve Armis]], who was overwhelmed and taken by the cultists, but not before leaving a trail made from her own hair for the team to follow back to the enclave.

After following the trail, the team soon arrived at the enclave. The cultists inside, all worshippers of Scimitar, awaited Sofila's sacrifice by the Archpriestess. Unfortunately, the team arrived too late and Sofila was stabbed through her heart with the Ritual Dagger, leading to her being possessed by Scimitar. Her first act under possession was to kill the Archpriestess and attack the team with enhanced skills empowered from the dark side.

Several months after destroying the Ritual Dagger, the location of the '''second of Scimitar's artifacts''' was learned; his old lightsaber. After venturing to Dathomir, the new team of Envoys' ship was shot down by a group of remnants belonging to the Nightsisters. After a brief skirmish, both [[Tahiri Drakon Night-Thorn]] and [[Zxyl Bes'uliik Taldrya]] are successful in easing tensions between the two groups. They are led to a temple that Scimitar used to seal his artifact away. In order to claim it, the team must individually, one after the other, take on eight grueling trials to unlock the chamber the lightsaber is being held in. They are guided through the temple by Rich’ard O'brien, the keeper of the temple bound by Scimitars will.

The team successfully completes the trials, though Rich'ard died in the final one. Upon Retrieving the lightsaber, the team met the spirit of Mir Tasc'i, the man who eventually became Scimitar himself. He urges the team to destroy the artifact and put an end to it all. The artifact is once again cleansed in fire, thus completing the mission. Hector Von Ricmore took the crystal within the lightsaber and used it as his own.

Following the destruction of the second artifact, [[Zxyl Bes'uliik Taldrya]], [[Regent]] of the Brotherhood, came into possession of a stone tablet that, once solved, would reveal the final artefacts location. Eager for revenge, Scimitar had his cultists infiltrate Mattock Station and commence with a surprise attack. [[Grand Master]] [[Dacien Victae|Dacian Victae]] issued a call for aid to anyone who was willing and able to aid Mattock Station all the while Rath Oligard watched the events unfold.

After a fierce fight with a crystalline rancor where [[Asani]] punched it repeatedly in the face, the station came under attack from unidentified bombers. The Regent and the team were forced to flee as Mattock Station was destroyed. Thankfully, the location of the third artifact and final artifact was uncovered.

Later, it was discovered that a Kerrusian named Kerissa went ahead to investigate the '''third artifact,''' but they have lost contact with her.

The team travelled to Rattatak, Scimitar's homeworld and found a village where residents were being sacrificed in order to appease the Immortal Sith. The team came across the old Tasc'i family homestead and found Henry Edwards, the grounds keeper for the mansion. He, much like Richard before him, was bound by Scimitar's will to do his bidding, but unlike Richard, was immortal too as was proven when he was shot by [[Titius Osseus]].

After making their way deeper into the mansion, visions attack the team showing the team the history of Scimitar and how he gained his immortality. One final droid attacked, this one wearing the pendant and was possessed by Scimitar himself. A plan was devised and the droid, as well as a good chunk of the mansion, was blown to pieces.

Rescuing Kerissa in the basement of the mansion, the team are trapped inside whilst Henry announces he will trap and burn the pendant, the team, and the trapped spirits. The mansion us set ablaze, but the team manage to escape and put the spirits of the Tasc'i family to rest. Zxyl then secured the artifact for the Shadow Academy to study...

The '''19th Saber Imperial Remnant''' was a large-scale [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]] that controlled most of the [[starwars:Koradin_Sector|Koradin]], [[starwars:Verada_Sector|Verada]], [[starwars:Tunka_Sector|Tunka]], and [[starwars:Rayter_Sector|Rayter Sectors]]. Based on the planet [[starwars:Virgillia|Virgillia]], the Remnant's capital city was the megacity known as '''Bevelle''' and was under the strict command of [[starwars:Grand_Moff|Grand Moff]] [[Jafan Sloven]].

= Founding =
Originally founded in 4 ABY, the 19th Saber Imperial Remnant was created in secret from the respective 19th Dark Saber Oversector using the last portions of Imperial Intelligence and Sector Governance that still remained that had not joined with [[starwars:Fleet_Admiral|Fleet Admiral]] [[starwars:Gallius_Rax|Gallius Rax]] in his final crusade to destroy the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]] following the death of [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]].

Upon the defeat of Rax over the world of [[starwars:Jakku|Jakku]] and the prevalent rise of the New Republic, the decision was made to continue the development of the remnant in the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]] far to the west of [[starwars:Endor|Endor]]. While the remnant itself did not become involved in any major activities, [[starwars:Moff|Moffs]] Stalle Lynbare and Draven Voss began developing their own regions in the [[starwars:Varada_Sector|Varada Sector]] and [[starwars:Subterrel_Sector|Tunka Sectors]] respectively for the future benefit of the remnant as a whole.

The remnant itself became publicly known however in 35 ABY after the bulk of Grand Moff Sloven's main fleet advanced on the world of Virgillia in the Koradin Sector, laying claim to it and declaring the official formation of the remnant and making Virgillia's capital city his new home. With the announcement of the remnant, both Moff Voss and Lynbare declared themselves and their individual remnants for Sloven.

= What is Known =
While the [[Clan Taldryan|Taldryan Republic]] knows little about the 19th Saber Imperial Remnant, there are currently some details that are known.

== Key Members ==
=== Grand Moff Jafan Sloven ===
See: [[Jafan Sloven]]

=== Fleet Admiral Kimberly Tessarosa ===
Except for what a single successful, but ultimately failed, deep cover agent plant had managed to learn about her, most of ‘’’Kimberly Tessarosa’’’ ‘s life is a lie. In both Taldryan Republic, New Republic, and the surviving portions of the Imperial databases, she was a [[starwars:Corellia|Corellian]] born dancer turned slicer that lived a simple life and championed the causes of justice and freedom without an inch of combat or tactical ability. She had light brown waist-length hair, light skin, brown eyes, and average weight with a simple unblemished and unscarred complexion.

It was this facade that allowed her to gain the trust and friendship of the Taldryan member [[Dasha_'Jala'_Talus|Dasha ‘Jala’ Talus]] when she had offered to help free the [[Clan Taldryan]], as it was known at the time, [[Proconsul]] [[Teebu Nyrrire]] from the influences of the ring of [[Vodo Biask Taldrya]]. Because of the diligent observation and monitoring on Dasha by the ‘’’Office of Secret Intelligence’’’ due to espionage acts she had committed against the clan both willingly, unwillingly, and unwittingly, the facial features of Kimberly were connected to a visual report given by one of their agents deep within the Remnant’s naval corps. If not for that monitoring, her true identity would remain completely unknown and the chances of the ring having fallen into Remnant control would have been direly high.

Hidden away was the fact that not only was it a facade, but that she was the [[starwars:Fleet_Admiral|Fleet Admiral]] of the 19th Saber according to the rank insignia recorded on her uniform. Not only that, but when she was on the bridge, not once was there ever a junior officer or regular officer ever present. From communications to pit operations, everything was conducted and ran by senior naval officers. It is thought that this was done to ensure absolute secrecy of her identify, one of which obviously had succeeded.

However, beyond that facade, in the reports given by the agent it was also found that her demeanor, attitude, and skillsets were far beyond that of her public profile. Given the video report was among the final things sent by the agent before their untimely death, nothing new could be learned from her.

=== Moff Stalle Lynbare ===
A former [[starwars:Moff|Moff]] of the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Galactic Empire]], ‘’’Stalle Lynbare’’’ was a [[starwars:Human|Human]] born on the world of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. He had attended the [[starwars:Royal_Imperial_Academy|Royal Imperial Academy]] at the same time as [[Jafan Sloven]], building a friendly and lasting mutual friendship. He was dark skinned with green eyes, extremely short hair, and had a very muscular build. Similarly to Kimberly, he had a soft complexion but some scars on his face due to years of hand to hand combat.

Throughout his career, Stalle worked on the administrative and investigative side of things inside of the [[starwars:Imperial_Security_Bureau|Imperial Security Bureau]] under Jafan. His core skills however in diplomacy and operations saw him transferred out of the ISB and into leadership as a Moff’s Aide in the [[starwars:Anoat_Sector|Anoat Sector]] shortly after Jafan’s own transfer into the Intelligence Branch.

Because of the secrecy involved in the Intelligence Branch, the two had fallen out of contact with each other for several years. As Stalle’s strengths in leadership and command continued to grow, eventually he would come to be the Anoat’s Moff but only for the briefest of months before receiving an invitation from Jafan to join him in the deep outer rim after the death of [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]].

He had done so, abandoning his post in the Anoat Sector, and was assigned to create a governance and region of his own in the [[starwars:Verada_Sector|Verada Sector]]. Using Jafan’s resources and credit streams, he was able to take control of the sector and run it as a just, kind individual.

In 35 ABY however he broke this facade and revealed himself as a [[starwars:Moff|Moff]] serving under the newly promoted [[starwars:Grand_Moff|Grand Moff]] Jafan. After this revelation, his control shifted to become more singular in nature but still allowed many of the freedoms that the citizens and sub-leaders of the sector had come to live by in the decades prior. This kept him in their favor, and allowed him to slowly tighten the noose around the sector so that in the event they ever rose against him, he would be able to crush them with one swift act.

=== Moff Draven Voss ===
A former [[starwars:Moff|Moff]] of the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Galactic Empire]], ‘’’Draven Voss’’’ was a [[starwars:Human|Human]] born on the world of [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. He was extremely heavyset, with an affinity for consuming inornate amounts of food, with heavy balding and scabbing of the top of his head, with dark yellow colored eyes and light colored skin.

Because of his upbringing on Nar Shaddaa in his younger and pre-teenage years, Draven had come to have a dire hatred of alien races because of the abuse he faced for being a low-born human. During a secret imperial visit under the guise of simple smugglers, he had stashed himself away on their ship to hide from a gang that sought to kill him.

During the return journey, he managed to stay hidden even as the shuttle returned to the world of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. Once there he slipped off of the ship but had been found by several stormtroopers. The captain of the ship, [[starwars:Commander|Commander]] Da’vi Richardson, watched as the boy single-handedly disarmed two of his stormtroopers and defeated them in direct combat. This intrigued him and instead of having the boy executed or sent to prison, he offered him status as his attaché and to train him. In exchange, he would give him the finest the empire had to offer.

Over the next decades, his skills grew exponentially, however, his skills in combat and his speed gradually decreased as he did indeed partake in the best the empire had to offer…it’s food. His fearless resolve, his absolute hatred and abrasive treatment of aliens, and the fact that he got his work done in a timely and precise manner convinced Da’vi to keep him on despite his ballooning size.

When Da’vi was promoted to the rank of [[starwars:Moff|Moff]] in 6 BBY, he brought Draven with him and allowed him to serve as his understudy as they traveled to the outer rim. It was at this point that Da’vi and Draven came into contact with ISB Senior Intelligence Agent Jafan Sloven and members of [[starwars:Internal_Affairs|Internal Affairs]]. Jafan revealed that Da’vi’s promotion had been a ruse to get him away from the core worlds and his [[starwars:Rebel_Alliance|Rebel Alliance]] contacts.

While they would wait for his messages to get to them on his ‘new posting’, the ISB would be afforded the opportunity to move on them while they were disoriented and leaderless. Da’vi was immediately arrested, and before he was lead away it was revealed by Draven that it was he who had reported him to internal affairs after listening to a conversation Da’vi and his wife had in his bugged apartment. As a reward for his faithfulness and unrelenting resolve to the empire, Draven Voss was promoted to the rank of Moff in Da’vi’s place and assumed control of a small sector called [[starwars:Tunka_Sector|Tunka]].

While in control of the sector, his weight continued to grow at an even greater pace as he indulged himself on what the sector had available from the backs of its starving citizens. His control was ousted however following the collapse of the empire, and with nowhere to run to he feared his life was over. However, in an unexpected gesture, Jafan saved his life and extracted him from the sector. In exchange for this kindness, Draven swore to serve Jafan with undying loyalty.

Jafan then reassigned him to the [[starwars:Subterrel_Sector|Tunka Sector]] and ordered him to build a new governance there, but to be “kinder and more gentler” to its citizens. Begrudgingly, Draven did as ordered and even tolerated the presence of aliens in his midst even though he detested them to the point where it made him physically sick.

In 35 ABY after the 19th Saber Imperial Remnant was announced, he revealed himself to the citizens of Tunka as Moff Voss and declared his loyalty to the 19th Saber. With the ruse now over, his leadership style shifted to a strict authoritarian one and his first act was to execute every single alien that was in his command center. Since then, large swaths of the incomes were taken from the citizens through heavy taxes and starvation had begun to sweep throughout the sector as Draven returned to his once lavish lifestyle. To prevent another instance of Tunka, he had his small moon of ‘’’Besberra’’’ heavily upgraded with top-of-the-line security systems, including biometrics, thermal, x-ray, everything that would make it severely overkill along with a unit of modified and upgraded [[starwars:Super_Battle_Droids|Super Battle Droids]] as his personal defenders. He loved his lifestyle, and would protect it at all costs.

Following the conclusion of the Saijo War, after Jafan Sloven refused to assist him during the final days of the war and after his own destruction of the superweapon prototype, Voss's connections to the 19th Saber Imperial Remnant had been severed and he has since gone in his own direction separately from them while retaining full control of the Tunka Sector.

== Regions of Control and Influence ==
=== Virgillia, Koradin Sector - The Royal City of Bevelle ===
The city of Bevelle on the world of Virgillia served as the throne world for the 19th Saber. Because of its status as that, it is the most heavily fortified world of the remnant consistently protected by several batallions of [[starwars:Death_Troopers|Death Troopers]] as well as [[starwars:Fleet_Admiral|Fleet Admiral]] Kimberly Tessarosa's personal defense fleet.

In the few incursions by various Virgillian factions that have taken place against Virgillia in attempts to retake it, additional support and defenses were supplied in quick order by the Verada and Tunka remnants. Due to the heavy influence given by the '''Remnant Intelligence Bureau''', it has been impossible to see the inner workings of the main bastion of the 19th Saber. All attempts at placing spies or deep cover agents have failed, including those dispatched by the [[Clan Taldryan|Taldryan Republic]]'s Office of Secret Intelligence (OSI).

If any attempt is to be made against the throne world, it is extremely well known that the other two remnants have to be dealt with first.

=== Besberra, Tunka Sector - Besberra Command Complex ===
The Besberra Command Complex served as the primary base of operations for [[starwars:Moff|Moff]] ‘’’Draven Voss’’’. It also served as a prison complex at its heart, with a shaft descending nearly a mile deep into the moon. Prisoners were lowered into it through a small cart, where once inside returning to the base above was nearly impossible as numerous [[starwars:Sarlaac|Sarlaac]] infants lined the walls around the upper perimeter, grasping onto any who dared ascend the walls on their own.

Because of Draven’s paranoia around his defense, only allowing those who had been vetted not once, not twice, not even three times, be anywhere near his command complex, much about what goes on here is largely unknown. It was only through the act of a defector, a former prison guard fearing his own life, that the prison was even learned about.

In a stark difference compared to the severely heavy defenses of Virgillia, the few times any factions or groups have made incursions against the complex, neither Jafan nor Stalle has come to Draven’s aid. This gives the impression that neither cares that much about their compatriot, or that the defense of the core world followed by their individual sectors is of the most paramount importance.

Nearly the entirety of Besberra’s citizenry has been forced into slavery, while aliens are actively hunted throughout the sector with bounty rewards in place for their corpses. The sector as a whole is in a dire state, in risk of complete collapse if Draven’s reign is allowed to continue.

=== Delantine, Verada Sector - Delantine City ===
Protected by a giant dome to keep the vicious outside avian predators at bay, ‘’’Delantine City’’’ serves as the main base location for [[starwars:Moff|Moff]] ‘’’Staale Lynbare’’’. Unlike his counterpart, Draven Voss, Staale has gained the respect of nearly all of the 16 different language groups on the planet; having mastered speaking and writing all 16 himself.

His friendship with the citizenry also in turn has earned him their loyalty, and none of them would be any the quicker to ever attempt to betray that loyalty. Even children, when approached, have quickly reported any signs of dissent from anyone at all, even their parents. Aliens from off world are closely monitored and scrutinized, watched carefully from afar by Delantine Intelligence and the citizens at large.

Those found guilty of dissent or disorderly actions against Staale’s government have been sent to Delantine’s sister world, [[starwars:Da’nor|Da’nor]], to become prey for the far deadlier creatures that inhabit that world.

The city itself existed across eighteen different layers, starting from the ground level up towards the top of the dome itself where Staale’s palace lay. Despite this layering however, the citizens saw themselves as equals unlike other worlds, and those from the lowest layers could just as easily live in the upper layers or visit there if they so choose. Mostly it came down to personal family preference.

It is suspected that the entire citizenry of not just Delantine City, but that of the entire planet, has been fully indoctrinated by Staale and is known if they can ever be freed from his grasp or saved without being killed.

{{Main|Sins of an Empire: Episode 1 Prelude}}
In the shadows of a once-thriving society, where the echoes of progress were drowned in the symphony of despair, a new chapter unfolded — one drenched in darkness and fear. A movement known as Denosianism, a clandestine group that emerged from the abyss of discontent under the leadership of Gander Denos, had seized control of the planet's reins from the Dalicron Sector High Advisory Council after being voted into power by those who once thought they would be their saviors. Initially, they had promoted just causes and worked to benefit the sector’s people as a whole regardless of rank, position, job, or even social class.

Once the Denosiasts had been confirmed as the next ruling class of Dalicron, all of that changed. As their ominous banners unfurled across towering buildings, casting an oppressive pallor over the urban landscape and the Dalicron Sector at large, the denizens found themselves ensnared in a dystopian nightmare...

'''Is the successor to the character [[Aidyn Wolfwood]], who was discontinued in 32ABY'''

[[EQ2|Archpriest]] '''Arturis Schulen''' is a '''Krath Scholar''' and is the '''Commander''' of [[Battle Team]] [[Karness Muur]] of [[Plagueis|House Plagueis]]. Thought dead, he recently returned from Deep Space where he sat in a self-imposed exile since the '''Siege of Eden''' in the Yridian System two years prior where he had supposedly perished. A tough and decisive tactician, Arturis is as definitive as he is calculating. More so now, since his return to the Brotherhood.

== Rebirth 32 ABY ==
'''“…you will suffer great pain, agony, and inevitably…you will die. But you will be reborn again.” – Muz Ashen'''

Arturis, originally known as [[Aidyn Wolfwood]], first opened his eyes to his new life deep within the halls of the Grand Master’s Lair. He had suffered grave injuries during a mission on [[Yridia II]] and despite the best efforts of some of [[Tarentum|House Tarentum’s]] best medics, his chances of survival were virtually nothing. [[Ronovi Tavisaen|Quaestor Ronovi Tavisaen]] had all but resigned to his death, when at the last moment [[Muz Ashen|Grand Master Muz Ashen]] stepped in.

The Grand Master had him transferred to a secret location as well as a captured [[starwars:Kushiban|Kushiban]] [[starwars:Jedi Knight|Jedi Knight]] known as '''Nirai Kanai''', who had previous dealings with him both before and after he became a part of the Brotherhood. He knew the potential that still lied dormant within him, as well as what he could become if nurtured and brought up correctly. And what better way to convince him of that, than to offer him the body of his own former apprentice…and murderer of one of his daughters.

By the means of an [[starwars:Transfer essence|Essence Transfer]], Nirai’s mind had been all but obliterated and destroyed and in its place remained the mind of Aidyn. Both the physical and mental pain had been excruciating, but after the process had been completed it all faded away like the fog in his eyes upon first opening them.
Shortly afterward Arturis was dispatched on his first mission by the Grand Master. The mission; was to crash a meeting between the remaining members of the Zachar Remnants and the [[starwars:Arkanian Dominion|Arkanian Dominion]] on the planet [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] and end the turmoil that had plagued his previous life. It was clearly evident he was not pleased with this, but he owed the Grand Master his life and reluctantly accepted.

Upon his arrival on [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]], it felt strange being home. Yet to him, it would never be home again. Arturis traveled into the caverns below the Arissi Highlands, where the [[Southern Arkanian Revolution]] had been fought so many years ago; and found the meeting site. Inside; he found his former brother, Vivoil Zyzen as well as several of the Zachar Remnant Leaders he had grown up with years ago. Also with them; the Director of Internal Affairs and the Chief of Engineering of the Arkanian Dominion.

Raimi strode into the chamber and quickly took down the guards. Using his newfound abilities that his former apprentice had bestowed upon him after the transfer, he quickly took down all but Vivoil. When questioned about who he was, Arturis revealed the truth. Vivoil had but only a moment to be shocked and managed to utter these brief words. "...[[Aidyn Wolfwood|Aidyn]]? How? Why?" His head was then severed from his body, executioner style.

No sooner than he returned to the surface, however, a new mission had been passed to him by the Grand Master. His daughter, whom had been missing since his wife's death years prior had been found. As closure to his former life and to ensure his future loyalties, his mission was clear. He already knew what he meant, due to what had happened on [[Yridia IV]] that caused him to be in his current situation. His mission...was to kill his daughter, Jen Zyzen, and bring him her head.

=== The End of Family ===
The report given to him by the Grand Master showed that she had been located in the outskirts of [[starwars:Doaba Guerfel|Doaba Guerfel]] on [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]]. It had been over 16 years since he had been on Corellia. She had established herself as a dominant underground trader and immediately after his arrival; found that she would be very hard to track.

Several weeks would pass and after managing to get himself in with the local [[starwars:Corsec|Corsec Faction]], a lead was finally gained about a 'Traders Alley' that existed in the mountains northeast of Doaba Guerfel after capturing smugglers attempting to get high-grade weaponry off of the planet. Following the information, Arturis found a small facility built into the nearby mountains and quietly infiltrated it via the ductwork. The facility itself was quite expansive and filled with traders, [[starwars:Smuggler|smugglers]], [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]], and other figures of notable interest.

Further inside, he immediately noticed Jen. She looked so identical to her mother, it was impossible to not realize it. Guarded by several [[starwars:Zabrak|Zabrak Bounty Hunters]] he knew she would not be an easy kill. Quietly he watched her from the shadows, unaware that she was doing the same. Finally he had a small window when she was alone, but found it to be a trap which landed him inside a '''battle''' arena.

Facing a series of trials, he was granted an audience with her alone. She knew exactly who he was...not as Arturis, but as her father. His force aura reminded her so much of hers; she identified it not long after he arrived on Corellia. Refusing assistance, Jen agreed to a duel to determine who would live and continue. After a fierce '''battle''', Raimi struck the final blow against his daughter.

Before her passing, she revealed that she had told no one of what she had learned. For if she did; danger would return to his life and cause issues for both him, and the way of life he lived. As a final gesture, he reminded her of her mother and the love they shared together and that regardless; he would love her. He then took her life, and her head.

=== A New Master and A New Identity ===
With his tasks completed, Arturis returned to the Grand Master with both Vivoil's and Jen's heads and placed them before him. With his success, Muz knew that he would definitely have potential to become a powerful Krath, as well as guaranteed his loyalty. With his past now brought fully to a close, he was placed under the authority of [[Maxamillian von Oberst-Tarentae]] to become his [[Apprentice]].

As a reward for his deeds which he had originally requested, Arturis was fitted with a custom armor set mixed from several Lok and Dantooine styles. With this, he would start all over again. No longer was he [[Aidyn Wolfwood]] the [[starwars:Arkanian|Arkanian]]. From that point onward, he would be known through tbe brotherhood as '''Arturis Schulen''' the [[starwars:Kushiban|Kushiban]].

=== The Training Begins ===
Arturis had begun training under Oberst immediately after returning to Tarentum and quickly learned to adapt to his new form and his abilities. Due to his size and physical capabilities, he began training in several [[Hand to Hand Combat Guide|Hand-to-Hand Styles]]. He caught on quite well to the style and tactics of [[Dulon]], picking up on the fierceness of [[Broken Gate]] to learn to center his physical strength to offset the faults of his small size. After gaining a soft mastery of both Dulon and Broken Gate over the next several months, his training was advanced to the pure-combat form of [[Jakelian]]. Should he ever be disarmed of his lightsaber, the ability to use his swift speed along with practical use of trained combat would make him a deadly adversary in close up hand-to-hand combat.

His training went very well, and Oberst was pleased. After attaining mastery of Jakelian; his training took an odd turn. Upon the request of the Grand Master, he began training under several skilled [[Echani]] fighters and began training in the ways of Echani. After learning pure combat, it was a strange shift to go from aggressiveness and strength-based combat into a more efficient form of aggressiveness.

[[File:Kragokwohelm.png|thumb|200px|right|Arturis with his Helmet off]]
Using his shape and size to his advantage, he learned how to flow into every attack; pivoting and shifting his body to increase his attacking capabilities while using the enemies attacks to his advantage in savage counter-attacks that did not directly physically wound opponents; but weakened them severely by targeting their limbs mid-attack and using every opening they presented in a savage yet efficient counter-attack before they could even finish theirs. He adapted quickly and after several additional months, started to match toe-on-toe with many Echani trained fighters. His knowledge of Echani had reached a mastery, and even though his initial training was complete; he continued to study the ways of the Echani style to further his own abilities due to his size constraints; which left him at the mercy of the more powerful Echani Masters.

=== The Way of the Krath ===
Arturis took it onto himself to resume his [[Krath]] training where he had left off in his previous life. His desire to become a Krath Alchemist was still very much there, and he knew he would attain it one way or another. What interested him the most however, was the Alchemist skills within [[starwars:Mechu-deru|Mechu-Deru]]. He learned also; that Knowledge was the one sanctity of the Krath, which mastery of could lead to infinite possibilities.

Knowing he had to be careful how he presented and portrayed himself given the past history of the Krath, Arturis decided to pursue the role of a Tactician and remain behind the front lines when he could. It was his cunning and wit that secured him the spot of Engineering Officer on board of the [[BAC Doomsday]] under the command of his House [[Quaestor]], [[Ji K'awiil]]. Already in his mind; he had devised and secured a way to begin his training as a Krath Alchemist. His position of Engineering Officer, would make certain that he could learn the insides of the Doomsday; from operations to how everything worked. Learning how they operated and worked would be his first step.

Keeping his dark intentions secret however, would prove to be the true trial.

=== End of an Era ===
Events would continue to turn in the Jedi Hunter's favor, and he quickly began to gain a reputation within House Cestus for his thoroughness in completing each and every task assigned to him as well as his ruthlessness. This earned him a strong respect from not only his peers, but also those who fought alongside him. It also earned him his next promotion; one which he had long awaited. No longer was he just a Jedi Hunter, he had at last become a [[Dark Jedi Knight]].

Because of the respect and admiration he had gained, Quaestor K'awiil promoted him to the post of [[Rollmaster]] within Cestus. Once he reached this position however, he switched his priorities and in turn resigned his post as Engineering Officer much to the Navy's surprise. Though may of his comrades questioned it, they knew that things would be for the better overall and wished him the best.

Things had truly advanced over the next several months, and very little could seemingly go wrong in the eyes of Arturis and Ji. When word had reached the Cestus Summit that the House Banner had been located however, a rift formed between the Quaestor and Aedile of Cestus. What happened then became known as "The Rift". The house itself, had been divided into two warring factions and with little thought; Arturis casted his loyalties with Quaestor K'awiil.

As the two sides battled for supremacy, the Rift culminated into a fierce '''battle''' far below the reaches of the Corsair. Arturis himself had been knocked out during the '''battle''', and did not participate in the final fights. After awakening several hours later, he learned of the Aedile's death during the '''battle''' and the ascension of Ji K'awiil to Proconsul. He also learned that House Cestus no longer existed...and that now, he would serve as Aedile of the newly formed [[House Reinthaler]] under fellow [[Krath]], [[Saitou Tarentae]]. Very much unexpectedly, the Legacy of Arturis was in full swing.

== Legacy of Arturis (33 ABY) ==
[[File:WheelOfKragok.png|thumb|191px|left|The Reinthaler Laboratory Crest]] Things had truly changed. House Cestus had been dissolved, and Houses [[House Gladius|Gladius]] and [[House Tridens|Tridens]] had been closed as well. In the matter of a few weeks, the entire face of [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]] had morphed into something new. The sphere of power, completely turned. And House Reinthaler now had a need for a new home. From on board one of the Clan's Capital Ships, Arturis personally oversaw the investigation and seeking of a new world on which Reinthaler could call home.
That came, when [[Sato Tarentae]] located a base deep within the forests of Yridia III with the assistance of [[Severon Vercingetorix]] and Liram Winterhaart. With an in depth investigation into the base, it was found that there was quite a bit of damage; however not severe enough that it could not be repaired. Arturis was quite pleased, and immediately began moving personnel and supplies into the base along with the Quaestor.

Even with his position of Aedile, however, Arturis still did not seem content. In a strange and unpredicted move, Arturis stepped down from his position shortly after the base had been brought to full operation and took a new position as Director of the '''Reinthaler Krath Laboratory'''.

He had finally reached where he wanted to be; and began to work alongside the [[Black Phoenix]] '''Battle''' '''Team''' in Alchemy Research and Development. Shortly after becoming Director, he made a personal decision and decided to seal his armor in his new home; known only to others as the Restricted Area near the '''Battle''' Team's Barracks. What lied within remained a mystery to everyone except the House Summit, and still remains a mystery to many to this day.

=== Expansion and Destruction ===
During the first months of his time as Director, Arturis personally oversaw the creation and modification of creatures and beasts for use within the Reinthaler Arena for both training purposes, as well as entertainment when enemies were captured and ordered for execution. The Laboratory grew in popularity among the general population thanks to Alchemic and Medical breakthroughs that were developed; and gradually grew a moderate sized student base among them and the Medical Facilities.

As an initial project, Arturis worked first hand with the students and other Technicians in the creation of [[G-3PO|Garian]], also known as G-3PO, a modified version of the standard 3PO unit. Garian was created primarily as a Protocol Droid, but had Medical expansions installed inside of him to assist with day-to-day duties at the Laboratory and to closely monitor and help train new incoming students. After recommendations from Chief Laboratory Personnel however, Garian was promoted to Vice-Director due to his intense learning curve and abilities that when paired with Arturis, made them an unstoppable team.

== Tarentum Reborn (33 ABY) ==
For the next several months everything seemed to be normal. Things quickly changed however, when word reached Yridia III of the destruction of virtually all of Tarentum's Naval Fleet; except for one capital ship. This worried many people within the Reinthaler Complex, and the '''Battle''' Teams were quickly dispatched out to assist against Tarentum's newest threat, [[starwars:Church of Infinite Perception|The Church of Infinite Perception]]. For the first time, due to his position and role within Reinthaler; Arturis did not leave with them, but remained on Yridia III.

The battle with the Reinthaler Forces did not go as planned however, and Arturis learned of Yridia IV's fall to the Church. Immediately after receiving the news, Arturis ordered a full evacuation of the Laboratory Students and Staff; save for himself, Garian, and the Chief Staff; to the Mystics Asylum. He did not want to risk the chances of them becoming involved should they push towards Yridia III next. Over the next day everything was dismantled and downloaded from the Laboratory Networks, and the remaining members departed on the last shuttle from Yridia III.

=== The Mystics Asylum ===
Shortly after his arrival at the Mystics Asylum, Arturis was prepared to return back and head towards Yridia IV with several others; when it was learned that the Church had been ultimately defeated with the assistance of Arcona. Much damage had been done, and much work would be needed to restore Tarentum to its former glory.

As Arturis prepared everything to return to Yridia III, he received a message from Ronovi that the entirety of the Reinthaler Krath Laboratory was being permanently relocated to the Mystics Asylum following the downfall of Clan Tarentum to House Tarentum; and that they would serve Tarentum as a whole, with no direct House or '''Battle''' '''Team''' Allegiance; since both House Kaerner and Reinthaler were being dissolved.

Initially this had upset Arturis, however given what the Mystics Asylum could offer; this was a stunning opportunity for his staff and his students. Given full reign over one of the lower areas, construction efforts were immediately underway of the Tarentum Krath Laboratory; as well as a Grand Conservatory deeper inside that would house the knowledge of the Laboratory, both of the future and years past; and become the new personal home of Arturis himself.

Arturis also had a brief stint with a dark group known as the '''Sinners''', under the command of [[Sith Bloodfyre]]. These were his darkest days, since under Bloodfyre's tutelage he was able to dive deeper into the Krath arts than ever before, sacrificing innocent lives to fuel his sadistic needs of power. Though it can not be proved, it is said among some that he also sacrificed a comrade in arms to ensure completion of a ritual to prevent it from failing. During these days, Arturis seemed to become more distant from his Krath ways; which surprised him since he had been a devout Krath for years.

== Return to Leadership (34 ABY) ==
In Mid-34 ABY, [[Ronovi Tavisaen|Ronovi Tavisaen Tarentae]] resigned from the post of Quaestor of House Tarentum and the post was taken on by Bloodfyre. Arturis was brought on as Rollmaster, from his time with the Sinners; though official records contribute it to his past devotions and accomplishments with Tarentum at large.

He truly felt changed, having left what he saw as a Sinner. The path of the Krath was a dark and trecherous one, and in recent months he felt more compelled to push as hard as he could to become a powerful leader, no matter the cost. It was with this decision, that he decided to shave away his past once more; one final time. He surrendered his post as Director of the Tarentum Krath Laboratory to Vice-Director Garian, but that was only the tip of the iceburg of what he would do.

He dyed his crimson hair a light brown, and swore fealty to the Order of the Sith. In surprise to Bloodfyre and everyone else, he also destroyed his '''battle''' armor as a final remnanted farewell.

=== Siege of Eden ===
Rumors had begun to circulate that the Yridian Syndicates on Yridia IX had begun to form together to try and take a stand against Tarentum's Control of Eden City. Fearing a full scale rebellion, Arturis dispatched to Eden City to try and confirm any truth to this rumor. Something ate at him the entire trip, however no matter how hard he tried he could not place what it was. After he arrived at Eden City, Arturis infiltrated the Bek Syndicate Headquarters where a meeting was to take place between seventeen of the Syndicate heads. Hidden in the ducts above a large conference room, he listened.

As they had feared, there was indeed great truth to the rumors that the Syndicates were banding together...but what was truly going on was far beyond what Arturis could have imagined. For the past several decades, under coordination of several Syndicates that had already joined together, a fleet had been constructed in secret beneath the surface of Yridia IX, and several surrounding systems. The plan was to not just claim Yridia IX...but to push straight to the Tarentum Homeworld and take control of the entire Yridian System.

Arturis knew what this meant. He quickly fled from his hiding spot and attempted to return to his ship, however was taken down by a Bounty Hunter's tranquilizer dart. Later he awoke, bound and gagged to a chair in a large, brightly lit room with a recording device aimed right at him. Moments later, Hyuga Syndicate Underboss Ryuga Donovan walked into the room holding a blaster and strolled over to Arturis and held it up to his head. His eyes widened as the man spoke into the recording device, and he tried fiercely to escape from his binds but to no avail. After declaring his intentions of war against the Yridian System and Tarentum, he declared Arturis's death to be the start of it all. Arturis tightly closed his eyes as the man pulled the trigger. Arturis Schulen, was dead. And the bloody war that would ensue from it would be known as the '''Siege of Eden'''.

Angered by his death, his apprentice [[Syrna Valkiss]] joined in the battles on Yridia IX with the main Tarentum and Yridian Police Forces, but fell in combat during a Syndicate assault on Eden City's walls that forced Tarentum back into the fields of Yridia IX. Ultimately the war ended in Tarentum's favor, after the Syndicate Bosses turned on their 'leader' and called a truce, given their only original goal was independence of Yridia IX.

== Arturis' Return (36 ABY) ==
=== Where Dead Once Lie ===
Two years later, Arturis mysteriously reappeared in Brotherhood Space on board the [[NSD Predominant]] before [[Ronovi Tavisaen]], who at this time served as Aedile of [[Plagueis|House Plagueis]]. Though he did not give reasons for his return, he did reveal a startling truth. Even though his original death had indeed been fabricated by himself and [[Sith Bloodfyre-Tarentae|Bloodfyre]], now retired from his position of Quaestor, to prevent the Syndicates from taking charge of Yridia IX and the Yridian System at large, he had taken things further by assisting them in their conquest against [[Tarentum|House Tarentum]] not just as a guise, but to be able to claim the House for himself.

He had supplied the Syndicates with sensitive information as well as his own tactical strengths during the ground sieges that allowed them to harness full control of Yridia IX, and nearly cripple the Magnus Kaerner before being overpowered due to malfunctions aboard their own ships; the Cactuar, Tonberry, and Antlion. After this setback however, the Syndicate Elders decided to call a truce with House Tarentum after Ryuga continued to insist, with Arturis' backing, that they should take the entire System even despite the failure of their own Fleet. They feared what would come of things should they indeed conquer the system, should the Brotherhood itself become involved, and decided to turn both Ryuga and Arturis over to Tarentum along with everything he had given them as proof of their sincerity.

Not wanting to be revealed, Arturis took matters into his own hands and executed the entire Syndicate Elder Council, sparing Ryuga and the other Syndicate Lieutenants. He had decided to move on Castle Tarentum itself after learning that Bloodfyre had recalled the entire Senior Staff back to the Castle after the near-destruction of the Kaerner. This would be his final chance to put an end to Bloodfyre and the others and secure his position as Quaestor, however upon his arrival on Yridia II with a group of assassins his ship was shot down by one of Ryuga's assassins who had already placed himself within Castle Tarentum. Narrowly escaping the ship before it was taken out from a missile, he knew his final shot had been blown and that the Castle would now be on full alert.

Arturis returned to Yridia IX where he confronted Ryuga inside the Bek Syndicate Council Chambers where he took his head after convincing the Lieutenants that if they wanted to maintain control of Eden City, as well as their lives, they would reveal nothing to Tarentum of his involvement and that he had actually died. Just prior to Bloodfyre and Oberst's arrival to negotiate terms, Arturis departed the Yridia System in self-imposed exile.

Now he had returned and pledged fealty to Ronovi, one of the few people he truly admired and respected. Given his betrayal of Tarentum, he would have a lot of work to do to gain her trust and be able to help her. He had no trouble with that.

=== The Dark Crusade ===
[[File:Arturis Schulen.jpg|thumb|210px|left|Arturis Schulen, Commander of Karness Muur]] Shortly after his return, House Plagueis took part in the campaign against the One Sith controlled planets Ch'hodos and Athiss. During this time Ronovi, who had become the Quaestor and Dread Lord of House Plagueis, saw fit to place Arturis as the '''Executive Officer''' of the [[Battle Team]] [[Karness Muur]] to test his abilities and his loyalties. Despite minor slip ups during the campaign on Ch'hodos, he demonstrated his true worth during the battles in orbit against the One Sith forces when he willingly put his own comrades in danger at her command. Given tactical command of the [[BAC Harrower]], he took his prowess against two Nebulon-8 Cruisers. Though the ship had lost it's flank shields and took severe damage, a timed-cascade of torpedoes while directly between them had managed to disable both of the Cruisers simultaneously with little additional effort.

After the enemy forces had changed up their own tactics and decimated several of the [[Dark Council]]'s own ships, Arturis joined the boarding party along with his '''Commander''' [[Celevon Edraven]] and infiltrated the VSD-II Contention. Once out of contact with the House and general communication, the order was given to initiate '''Operation Menchi'''. The physical eradication and deaths of the entire Engineering Crew, and the sole capture of the ship. Stowing himself inside an '''Emergency Food Supply''' bag, taking advantage of the Chief Engineer's love of exotic food, he managed to infiltrate the closed off Engineering Bay and set off the ships systems creating an artificial test Reactor Core Containment Breach that would destroy the ship within 5 minutes. To prevent any leaks, the Engineering Bay had been sealed and Arturis was left alone with the dozens of engineers who were all but defenseless. It was a slaughterhouse. Limbs severed, hearts clawed out and chewed, he went engineer to engineer thoroughly and killed each and every one of them slowly and painfully. At the end of his slaughter fest as well as the countdown, the ship returned to normal and only the Plagueian team remained in the now abandoned ship.

Shortly after the battle had been won, Arturis went back to work repairing the ship's internal systems with the Engineering Crew. That did not last long however as barely a day after, he had been summoned before the Dread Lord Ronovi Tavisaen once more. For the first time since his return, she commended him. He had begun to prove just how serious he was, and how far he was truly willing to go in her service. With the removal of [[Aedile]] Kave and the rise of his Battle Team Commander, Celevon, to [[Rollmaster]] to replace the new Aedile [[Arden Karn]], she named him the newest Commander of Karness Muur. He was surprised to say the least, but if he continued to prove his worth to her, this would be the first of many promotions he would see.

===The Plagueian Civil War ===

=== A New Clan Plagueis ===

== (TBA) ==
=== (TBA) ===

== Personality ==
Definitive, Calculating, and Absolute are the three main ways to describe Arturis' personality. Ever since his return to the Krath Order, he has become a much tougher individual, and a skilled Tactician. He is known to have fun at times, but only after he has had several drinks of his favorite drink; Flameout.

Though it may not seem like it at times, he holds the protection of his friends and comrades at his highest priority; however would not think twice to use one of them as a guinea pig if it ensured completing his goals. The completion of the mission has the highest priority of all.

== Appearance ==
Arturis Schulen stands at 0.3 meters tall, equaling roughly 1 foot tall. His fur, unlike a traditional Kushiban, does not change color. It is not publicly known why, but once it was a dark red and crimson color; though now it stays as a constant light brown color.

=== Battle Armor ===
[[File:Kragokarmor.png|thumb|200px|left|Arturis in his '''Battle''' Armor]]
Arturis's '''Battle''' Armor was a unique piece of work, able to protect from extreme heat and the vacuum of space, based on which phase mode was active. During his time as a field-level warrior, he wore it constantly. After his ascension into leadership and into more of a tactician type roll, he had it destroyed.

== DJB Facts ==
Is the new form of [[Aidyn Wolfwood]], after a body-to-body transfer before his initial death. In character, no one is aware of this fact except the Dark Council, and the leaders of Clan Tarentum.

Was first mentioned fiction-wise in the 12/8/2009 Grand Master Report by Muz Ashen being placed in apprenticeship with Maxamillion von Oberst...who referred to him mentally as ''a small ball of fluff that would better suit as a pet for some spoiled noble on a soft planet.''

Was the final Rollmaster of House Cestus.

Was the First Aedile of House Reinthaler.

{{Quote|Taldryan: A brotherhood within a brotherhood|'''Sharad Taldrya Hett'''}}

''Note: For material previously included on this page, see [[Clan Taldryan/Archived]].

The '''Taldryan Republic ''' is a Clan in name only of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. The Clan was initially founded from Independent [[House Ektrosis]], at which point [[House Archanis]] and [[House Dinaari]] joined with them to complete the structure of what would be the most dominant Clan in the Brotherhood's history. For over a decade Taldryan was the first clan of the Brotherhood and winner of five successive Great Jedi Wars. To this day, the Clan still maintains a proud culture of teamwork, community, and competition.

In [[40 ABY to 49 ABY|40 ABY]], former [[Consul]] [[Appius_Wight|Appius Wight Taldrya]] reformed Clan Taldryan into the Taldryan Republic, a galactic democracy to potentially succeed the fallen New Republic, giving sectors in the southwestern [[starwars:Outer_Rim_Territories|Outer Rim Territories]] a chance to become more than what they have been in these trying and wild times.

= Brief History =
{{Main|Clan Taldryan history}}
Clan Taldryan as it was known at the time was formed from Independent House Ektrosis in 13 ABY, several years before the great [[Exodus]]. It was made into a Clan and joined by House Dinaari and House Ektrosis upon settling in the [[Kr'Tal System]]. Taldryan occupied the Kr'Tal System for 15 years before abandoning the system in the wake of and former Grand Master and Justicar Jac Cotelin's surprise attack upon the Taldryan Republics in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|35 ABY]]. From Kr'Tal, Taldryan set about consolidating its place at the forefront of the Brotherhood and at the top of the Clans by providing several Deputy Grand Masters, Justicars, Tribunes, Dark Councilors, and Combat Masters. Sons and Daughters of Taldryan have, and continue to serve as heads of Societies, Orders, and facilitated inter-club gaming opportunities with those organizations allied to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. After a year spent on the run from the Justicar's minions and Inquisitors, Taldryan settled into the Caelus System and has remained there since [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|36 ABY]].

= Government and Politics =

== Internal Governance ==
=== Supreme Chancellor ===
{{Main|Supreme Chancellors Of The Taldryan Republic}}
The [[Consul]] of Clan Taldryan serves as the ''Supreme Chancellor'' of the Taldryan Republic. The Supreme Chancellor of the Taldryan Republic has absolute authority over it's affairs, and along with the Vice-Chancellor, oversees the day-to-day affairs as well. While the Supreme Chancellor has final authority over decisions related to the [[Caelus System]] and the Taldryan Republic, major changes to the Republic's structure and function are deliberated and voted on by the Taldryan Republic Senate. The current Supreme Chancellor is {{Template:TalCON}}.

=== Vice-Chancellor / Grand General / Fleet Admiral ===
The [[Proconsul]] of Clan Taldryan serves as the Taldryan ''Vice-Chancellor''. Serving as the Republic's Second-in-Command and direct liaison to the [[Consul]], the Proconsul supervises and coordinates with the Magistrates to the Supreme Chancellor, the [[starwars:Grand_General|Grand General]] of the [[Taldryan_Army|Taldryan Army]], the [[starwars:Fleet_Admiral|Fleet Admiral]] of the [[Taldryan_Navy|Taldrya's Brotherhood Naval Fleet]], and also with each leader of the [[Taldryan Auxiliary Divisions]]. In some cases, the Proconsul also serves as either [[Taldryan_Army|General of the Taldryan Army]] or the [[Taldryan_Navy|Fleet Admiral of the Taldrya's Brotherhood Naval Fleet]]. When this is the case, their military rank is used in place of the Vice-Chancellor title. The current Vice-Chancellor is {{Template:TalPCON}}.

=== Taldryan Administrative Council ===
The ''Taldryan Administrative Council'' is a leadership body of fourteen members that was formed after the removal of the first Supreme Chancellor. Comprised of various Governors from throughout the Caelus system, it serves as an oversight system that works with the Supreme Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor on major Republic policy that is separate from the Taldryan Senate. In the event a decision or policy is made by either of the Chancellors and is not dictated by the senate, it has the power to override by a 4/5ths majority.

=== Taldryan Senate ===
The ''Taldryan Senate'' is a council of dignitaries that serve the Taldryan Republic and are called upon to deliberate and vote on major changes that affect the structure or function of the Republic itself. It consists of the Supreme Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, the [[Sons_&_Daughters_of_Taldryan|Sons & Daughters of Taldryan]], the Magistrates of the Republic, but mostly the membership of the Taldryan Republic. From a fictional standpoint, it also includes the top military leaders of both the Navy and Army, as well as the Auxiliary Divisions. The Senate can be convened at the request of either the Consul, Proconsul, or a member in good standing of the Sons & Daughters of Taldryan. While the Supreme Chancellor has primary decision-making privileges, major changes to the Republic's structure and function are deliberated and voted on by the Taldryan Conclave before approval and implementation as a fail-safe to ensure a safe and secure Taldryan society.

==== Governor of Kasiya ====
The '''First Magistrate of the Supreme Chancellor''' serves as the ''Governor'' of the [[Perune]] moon of [[Kasiya]]. The Magistrate is the face of the Taldryan Republic at large, with primary purpose of this role being to lead and govern the Taldryan Capital City of [[Port Kasiya]], the [[Kasiya|Kasiyan]] moon at large, and increase the public's perception of the Republic across not just its governance on Kasiya, but also throughout the Caelus System and the Taldryan Republic at large. The Office of Secret Intelligence is also secretly overseen by the First Magistrate as well, who serves as it's spymaster. Sometimes this role is deferred to the Vice-Chancellor if the First Magistrate deems it a stronger fit. The current Governor of Kasiya is {{Template:Tal1stMGS}}.

==== Kriz Crime Syndicate ====
Under the guise of corruption and chaos, the '''Second Magistrate of the Supreme Chancellor''' serves as the Syndicate Boss and of the Kriz Crime Syndicate. Their identity within the organization itself is entirely unknown, kept under the strictest veil of secrecy where proxies operate on their behalf when demands are made to see the leadership of the Syndicate. In truth, they serve as the leader of the Sphere of Research and Intelligence and utilize the syndicate as a way to keep a close watch on the pirate and crime influences within the Outer Rim Territories, passing select information on to the Taldryan Republic Military to act upon when it is deemed a potential threat to the stability of an area within the Taldryan Republic. With the deep cover and involvement required to sustain and grow the Kriz Crime Syndicate, some within the Taldryan Senate worry that the line between where true loyalties lay may become blurred the more involved {{Template:Tal2ndMGS}} become and that both they and the Syndicate eventually become a threat for the Republic. While {{Template:TalCON}} does not see it that way, the worries do give pause for concern.

=== Auxiliary Divisions ===

{{Main|Taldryan Auxiliary Divisions}}

In 37 ABY, then-Proconsul [[Seraine "Erinyes" Ténama]] established Taldryan's Auxiliary Divisions: bodies that contributed to Taldryan's development and influence, but fell outside the normal sub-unit structure of Houses and Battle-Teams. Some of these divisions already existed in some form or another within the Taldryan Republic, while others were created entirely anew. At their inception, there were eight Auxiliary Divisions: Community Outreach, the Force Mystics, the Military Prefecture, the Office of Secret Intelligence, the Sphere of Research and Intelligence, TEAD Technologies, and the [[Vornskr Battalion]] (a Taldryan-sponsored private military company).

In 39 ABY, Consul Appius 'Zappius' Wright dissolved the Military Prefect position in favor of establishing a Chief of Staff who would oversee the military at large, working directly with the Generals of the Taldryan Army and the Admiralty of the Taldryan Navy. This was done in response to continuing threats within the Caelus system, and the repeated failures of finding a suitable Fleet Admiral for the Taldryan Naval Forces. The Military Prefecture itself would continue to exist, allowing members of Taldryan to be able to work with the military as needed.

The remainder of the Auxiliary Divisions were split between the Houses in terms of support and command authority, however, membership in those Divisions was not restricted to that one specific house. Any member of the Republic is able to join any Auxiliary Division they so choose, regardless of affiliation.

= External Relations (History) =
Following their arrival in the Caelus System, Taldryan was in the unfamiliar position of not being entirely in control of their home system's government. Following the overthrow of the Caelus Cartel, control of the system passed to the newly-formed Caelus Council. Although the Council was effectively installed by Taldryan, there were no official links between the two. The Caelus Council's independence became a threat to Taldryan in 37 ABY when Council President Kain Eriston (the second-ranking member of the Caelus Council and a [[Collective]] sympathizer) led a vote to suspend Chancellor Ceyra Ky'Lian from her official duties, which nearly resulted in the Collective evicting Taldryan from Caelus.

The Arasaka Corporation primarily remained quiet during this period, focusing on their own Republic within Caelus space on Kasiya instead of becoming involved in the Caelus Council's efforts. At the end of 38 ABY, however, the corporation coordinated a cyber assault directly on the Citadel, Taldryan's seat of power, in an effort to disorient them after Consul Seraine "Erinyes" Ténama left the system for meetings on Arx. Under the leadership of the Proconsul Appius, this assault ultimately failed and was the precursor to the war to follow between Kasiya and Taldryan.

At the end of the war in 39 ABY, because of Taldryan's efforts and focus on civilian lives and protection both during and after the war itself, the Clan as it was known at the time, gained a massive standing of influence within the system when it comes to public perception. Where the corporation had oppressed the people and utilized their spoils for themselves prior to the war, Taldryan had shown itself to be selfless and dedicated when it came to those around them during the War for [[Port Kasiya]]. The largest event broadcast was when a regiment of the Taldryan Army took up residence in a parking garage to rest, giving their warm makeshift base to a large group of civilians who had been displaced following an assault on the Holmes District and their homes being lost. At this point, many of the people within Port Kasiya rallied behind the clan and against the corporation.

Following the war in the latter half of 39 ABY after the formation of [[House Thanatos]], Proconsul and [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] [[Teebu_Nyrrire|Teebu Nyrrire]] quietly oversaw the construction of a massive [[starwars:Shield_Gate|Shield Gate]] in conjunction with the ''Antares Construction Group'' of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]'s capital planet of [[Arx]] in a nearby area of the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]] that had been mapped out. This project was kept under the most secure of secrecy, even from Consul [[Appius_Wight|Appius Wight Taldrya]] himself, to ensure it did not fall into the wrong hands.

Upon its completion and implementation in the orbit of Taldryan's new capital and homeworld of [[Kasiya]] at the start of 40 ABY, many of the resources used in the original defense of the system were able to be diverted further out to surrounding systems and regions to increase the Clan's sphere of influence. While the Clan itself did not extend it's command or ownership into these adjacent areas, it did however foster numerous alliances and trade agreements to allow for the creation of the Taldryan Republic.

= Taldryan Republic Influence =

== Taldryan Republic Allies ==

=== Berrol’s Donn System - Kriz Sector ===
Situated directly over the [[starwars:Corellian_Trade_Spine|Corellian Trade Spine]], the [[starwars:Berrol’s_Donn_system|Berrol’s Donn system]] is one of the Taldryan Republic’s most protected systems due to it’s direct access to the spine. Due to ongoing conflicts with the Imperial Remnant, it is the northernmost system in the sector currently within the control of the Taldryan Republic. Commanded by former [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic Officer]] [[starwars:Zeke_Rondel|Zeke Rondel]], the trade planet of [[starwars:Berrol’s_Donn|Berrol’s Donn]] has a mutual trade alliance with the Taldryan Republic at large, allowing all allied systems access to its trade facilities. Rondel’s only request being to never adopt imperial values, and not to allow any member anywhere near the system if they had past affiliations with the Empire. With those being the only stipulations, it was an easy agreement for [[Consul|Supreme Chancellor]] [[Appius Wight]].

Berrol’s Donn is also home to [[starwars:Sangorn’s_Net|Sangorn’s Net]], a bar that once existed during the [[starwars:Galactic_Civil_War|Galactic Civil War]] but has recently re-established itself under more honest pretexts, openly calling itself ‘’The Playground of the Taldryan East’’ which takes aim at [[Jorm_"The_Jester"_Na'trej|Jorm Na'trej]]’s bar in [[Port Kasiya]], ‘’The Playground’’ as a direct competitor.

=== Seitia System - Seitia Sector ===
Located on the northwestern border of the [[starwars:Tunka_sector|Tunka]] and [[starwars:Seitia_sector|Seitia]] sectors, the [[starwars:Seitia_system|Seitia system]] is home to the megacity world of [[starwars:Seitia_Prime|Seitia Prime]]. The Outer Rim famous [[starwars:Bellorin_Medical_Academy|Bellorin Medical Academy]] is also housed here as well. The Taldryan Republic has a mutual training alliance with Seitia Prime, which allows members of the Republic to train at the Academy in exchange for allowing Seitian citizens to train at the Kasiyan Military Academy, as well as a defense agreement and trade agreement between the two.

It was this alliance that saw the construction of the Taldryan Republic's new flagship, the [[starwars:Starhawk-class_Battleship_Mark_II|''Starhawk-class Battleship Mark II]], [[item:85107|'''''Leviathan''''']] and a large portion of its upgraded and retro-fitted fleet.

=== Absit System - Tunka Sector ===
The [[starwars:Absit_system|Absit System]] is located near the borders of the [[starwars:Varada_region|Varada]] and [[starwars:Tunka_region|Tunka]] Regions and has a strong trade agreement and direct alliance with the Taldryan Republic. This gives them access to their prime agricultural yields and practices on the planet of [[starwars:Absit|Absit]] in exchange for additional protection and route access to the [[starwars:Corellian_Trade_Spine|Corellian Trade Spine]] in the neighboring [[starwars:Seitia_system|Seitia system]]. After the fall of the Final Order, which had taken control of [[starwars:Absit|Absit]] just like the [[starwars:Empire|Empire]] had before them and conscripted many of their men into service, they did not want to fall into a similar situation in the future given the proximity of the Imperial Remnant in the [[starwars:Verada_system|Verada System]] and the Supreme Chancellor offered them just that.

However, that trust has fallen into disarray in recent times as the Verada Imperial Remnant of the [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]] has begun moving into it's northwestern territories, laying claim to large swaths of it. Due to this, the alliance between the two is on the verge of collapse if the Taldryan Republic does not hold to it's claims and fend off the remnant.

= Neutral Influence =

=== Marat System - Varada Sector ===
Located near the borders of the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]], the planet of [[starwars:Skye|Skye]] in the [[starwars:Marat_system|Marat system]] was a vital area to bring into the Taldryan Republic as it war directly adjacent to a safe passage route into the unknown. The inhabitants, a winged species known as the [[starwars:S’kytri|S’kytri]], were thankful after the Taldryan Republic had defeated the forces of former [[Chyron]] Chancellor Ky’Lian and made Skye independent once again.

After that, however, the system fell under the control of the [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]]. Despite that however, they still hold trust and provide intelligence and other information to the Taldryan Republic in hopes of being free again one day.

=== Baralou System - Varada Sector ===
[[starwars:Baralou|Baralou]] is the planetary home of the land dwelling [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and aquatic [[starwars:Mon_Calamarian|Multopos]] species. Because of continued efforts at helping the Krikthasi cultivate food, they have a fierce loyalty to the Taldryan Republic. The Multopos on the other hand, having severely negative relations with the Krikthasi, see the Taldryan Republic as an encroacher and often acts out against them. This attitude changes however, demonstrating their primitive nature, when gifts or tribute is willingly given to them in which case they allow access to their underwater cities and temples. Overall, the [[starwars:Baralou_system|Baralou system]] is a fierce ally of the Republic and rejects all other outsiders at the their request, even against their newest masters after the system fell to the [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]]. Despite that, they still maintain loyalty to the Taldryan Republic.

The neighboring planet of [[starwars:Yaralou|Yaralou]] has recently garnered the Republic’s attention however as a potential future outpost or expansion, given it’s lush landscape and lack of remnant forces or outposts of their own. It’s only negative is that it is heavily saturated by water and minimal sunlight due to the perpetually unending rain, something the flora has become accustomed to.

=== Dyspeth System - Varada Sector ===
The [[starwars:Dyspeth_System|Dyspeth System]] only has minor trade agreements with the Taldryan Republic, due to the system itself is under the strict protection of the [[starwars:Disciples_of_Twilight|Disciples of Twilight]]. This enigmatic Force-sensitive order stands neutral to the influence that the Taldryan Republic presented, making it very clear that their only interest is the protection of the populace of the shadowy moon of [[starwars:Dyspeth|Dyspeth]], and they will defend them from all injustice regardless of the originating source, including Taldryan. Because of this, all travel to this system is restricted except for traders so as to leave them in peace.

The 19th Saber Imperial Remnant has had incredible issues maintaining control of this system, instead opting to blockade and isolate it.

=== Barraken System - Varada Sector ===
Home to three planets, only one of which is inhabitable, the [[starwars:Barraken_system|Barraken system]] is considered a quarantine system by the surrounding systems. The inhabitable planet of ‘’Barraken Two’’ is a dense field and forest world, which has attracted many suitors over the years but every attempt to colonize this planet has resulted in the complete eradication of every single expeditionary group to attempt it. Further investigation found that the creatures of the world are highly toxic and deadly, particularly the [[starwars:Barraken_weed-scorpion|Barraken Weed-Scorpion]]. It’s microscopic and hypodermic stinger, made of an unusually hard material, has been shown to pierce through even Beskar. In laboratory testing, it’s venom has proven to be lethal with even the smallest microgram in both small creatures and large creatures up to the size of a Rancor within minutes. The stinger however, has proven intolerable to all forms of reforging, making it useless at this time outside of medical injection purposes.

The other two worlds are home to similar deadly creatures, but due to massive atmospheric storms, it has been impossible to research further.

=== Dahvil system - Rayter Sector ===
Located along the route to the [[starwars:Kriz_sector|Kriz sector]], the planet [[starwars:Dahvil|Dahvil]] of the [[starwars:Dahvil_system|Dahvil system]] is the home of a lesser-known pirate faction that only hunts former imperials who have not renounced their ways. Because of their nature, the Taldryan Republic has no formal alliance with them directly but does have an agreement under the table through the Crime Syndicate which supplies them with weaponry and other goods in exchange for them to put pressure on the [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]] forces that had begun to encroach in the neighboring [[starwars:Narg_system|Narg system]].

It is also home to the [[starwars:Dahvil-Fodro_Hyperspace_Promenade|Dahvil-Fodro Hyperspace Promenade]], as well as the newly created [[starwars:Podracing|Taldryan Circuit - Dahvil Podracing Track]].

=== Keskin System - Virgillia Sector ===
Nestled near the southern border of the [[starwars:Koradin_sector|Koradin Sector]] adjacent to the [[starwars:Tunka_sector|Tunka Sector]], the [[starwars:Keskin_system|Keskin system]] currently sits as a neutral participant within the Taldryan Republic. The planet [[starwars:Keskin|Keskin]] is home to a [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] tribe that was saved from [[starwars:Grand_Moff|Grand Moff]] [[Jafan Sloven]]’s [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]] forces that originated from the northern Koradin sector.

Because of the Taldryan Republic’s efforts in freeing them, they have not yet decided as of yet if to remain neutral, ally themselves with them, or conduct any form of trade or alliance. Only time will tell with this hivemind tribe how this evolves..

=== Faldos System - Saijo Sector ===
Located on the southwestern most edge of the system directly adjacent to the [[starwars:Unknown_Regions|Unknown Regions]], the planet of [[starwars:Faldos|Faldos]] has a neutrality agreement with the Republic in exchange for offerings that are undisclosed. It has been noticed however that occasionally Taldryan naval forces including prisoner transports use Faldos as a jumping point into the unknown regions, their final destination unknown.

{{Quote|"...is now an enemy of the Republic."|[[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]]}}

=== Varada System - Varada Sector ===
The [[starwars:Varada_System|Varada System]], the heart of the [[starwars:Varada_sector|Varada Sector]], is under the control of the [[starwars:SoroSuub_Corporation|SoroSuub Corporation]] which is based on the sole inhabitable planet of this system, [[starwars:Varada_Five|Varada Five]]. The planet is similar in governmental structure to Chyron, with luscious forests similar to Ostara. The SoroSuub Corporation has refused all offers of alliance, openly declaring that it will not accept any assistance or agreements with the Taldryan Republic. It has even gone as far as to open fire on any and all Taldryan-based ships that have entered the system.

=== Delantine System - Varada Sector ===
With four different planets within the [[starwars:Varada_sector|Varada Sector]], the planet of [[starwars:Delantine|Delantine]] in the [[starwars:Delantine_system|Delantine_system]] serves as the command headquarters of one of the three [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]] factions, this one under the command of [[starwars:Moff|Moff]] Staale Lynbare. Despite the close proximity of the [[starwars:Tunka_sector|Tunka sector]], the remnant does everything it can to put pressure on the Taldryan Republic's alliances there but never enough to cause full-scale war. Rumor has it they have allied themselves with several pirate factions that continually harass the Seitia-Tunka trade routes, but this cannot be confirmed.

=== Virgillia System - Koradin Sector ===
The seat of power for the [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]], the world of [[starwars:Virgillia|Virgillia]] serves as its base of operations and it is considered one of the largest current threats to the Republic’s northern influence. Having refused to adopt the sector’s newly established name of Virgillia after the collapse of the empire, the 19th Saber forcefully re-established it’s Empire-era name of [[starwars:Koradin_sector|Koradin]]. Commanded by [[starwars:Grand_Moff|Grand Moff]] [[Jafan Sloven]], it’s own sphere of influence includes the entirety of the Koradin sector, as well as the recently captured [[starwars:Wazta_sector|Wazta sector]].

The Grand Moff, being as brilliant of a tactician and strategist as some of the Taldryan Republic’s best, has outed every attempt to plant a spy or mole into any of the three remnant groups, and his alliances with the northern pirate factions, the forces of former [[Chyron]] Chancellor Ky’Lian, and the recent absorbsion of recently deceased [[Kasiya|Kasiyan]] [[starwars:Governor|Governor]] Yorinobu Arasaka's military and financial assets have proven to make this particular group a formidable force. His endgame is currently unknown, and to date has made no physical offensives against the Taldryan Republic though this is not expected to last forever.

=== Besberra System - Subterrel Sector ===
Located in the central reaches of the [[starwars:Subterrel_sector|Subterrel sector]], the [[starwars:Besberra_system|Besberra system]] is the home and command center of one of the three [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]] factions, this one under the command of [[starwars:Moff|Moff]] Myn Genko. Of the three factions, this one follows a strict interpretation of the ‘’Imperial Code’’ including its extreme [[starwars:Speciesism|xenophic]] tendencies. Based inside of a planetary station made up of three retro-fitted Golan III platforms together as one, they have made it a known policy of executing every alien that sets foot on their station on sight. Because of its heavy weaponry, defenses, and monitoring systems, the Taldryan Republic has no outpost or settlement nearby for observation leaving this remnant force largely unmonitored except by other system spies.

=== Terminus System - Kallea Sector ===
Located at the intersection of the [[starwars:Corellian_Trade_Spine|Corellian Trade Spine]] and the [[starwars:Hydian_Way|Hydian Way]] trade route, the [[starwars:Terminus_system|Terminus System]] is under heavy dispute and control of various pirate factions that exist all across the [[starwars:Kallea_sector|Kallea sector]]. Having seen the profitability of what the Taldryan Republic has managed to produce to their north, the various factions constantly launch assaults and raids into the southern area of the [[starwars:Saijo_sector|Saijo sector]], requiring a constant naval presence to deter them from progressing any further. Because of how little is known of the pirates inner workings, no specific leader has been identified as the balance of power in Terminus constantly shifts like a violent storm.

= Economy =
Following the fall of Port Kasiya into Taldryan control in 39 ABY, the economy within Taldryan began to stabilize and fewer funds went to the Caelus Cartel at large. Towards the start of 40 ABY, over 80% of the economy of the Taldryan Republic was conducted through Port Kasiya with the remaining 20% coming from [[Chyron]].

Following the construction of the Kasiyan Shield Gate in 40 ABY, this shifted to a greater degree with nearly 90% of the economy for Clan Taldryan being conducted through Port Kasiya and 10% from Chyron due to the added security guarantees being more of a lucrative draw. With trade agreements established with both the planets of [[starwars:Berrol's_Donn|Berrol's Donn]], located in the [[starwars:Kriz_sector|Kriz Sector]] on the eastern side of the Taldryan Republic, and [[starwars:Keskin|Keskin]], located in the [[starwars:Koradin_sector|Koradin Sector]] on the northern side of the Taldryan Republic, Port Kasiya quickly began to evolve into a massive trade center for this section of the outer rim.

As the economy of Chyron continued to decline due to this shift in trade power, Taldryan member [[Jorm_"The_Jester"_Na'trej|Jorm Na'trej]] was voted in as ''Chancellor'' of Chyron in an effort to bring back stronger ties with the Taldryan Republic itself, and bring trade back to the dwindling moon. This was largely successful, with Jorm being hailed as a hero on Chyron for managing to restore it's strength and financial status. Following the destruction of the shield gate in 40 ABY and the damage taken to [[Port Kasiya]], Chyron assisted in the restoration of the city with supplies and manpower.

= Society and Culture =
== Taldrya ==
{{Main|Sons & Daughters of Taldryan}}

The Taldrya are members of the Taldryan Republic who have sacrificed much in the name of their Brothers and Sisters. They have taken Taldryan's motto and internalized it, living and breathing its meaning. Among the Clans of the Brotherhood no honor is so sought after as the prestigeous recognition of the Sons and Daughters of Taldryan and to bear the name of the Taldryan Republic itself as their own. Members are considered on their years of contributions, activity, and leadership spent in service to Taldryan. New inductees are considered only after recommendation by present Taldrya and internal, secret debates among the whole of the Taldrya. Once it is decided to bestow the honor of the name Taldrya upon a member they are inducted into the secrets and rites which are the sole possession of the Brotherhood's most exclusive club. Taldrya are expected to continue in their service to the Taldryan Republic and are often called upon by the current Summit to weigh in on matters of importance or to clarify records of the past.

The Sons and Daughters of Taldryan exemplify the virtues and qualities sought after in all members of the Taldryan Republic. They are drawn from all walks of life be they Gamers, Writers, Roleplayers, or Leaders.

== Taldryanites ==
The Taldryanites are the many members that belong to the Taldryan Republic, positioned in all levels, from new Apprentices, Battle Team Leaders, and those armed forces that have declared allegiance to Taldryan, serving in the Security Service. Members of this class have much more access within Taldryan - more locations in the system than the average person, but still subject to limited access on Fleet vessels, as well as any other stipulations set in place by the Summit.

== Military ==
{{Main|Taldryan Military}}

== Intelligence Service ==
{{Main|Office of Secret Intelligence}}

The Office of Secret Intelligence is the Republic's intelligence gathering and counter-intel apparatus charged with providing the Supreme Chancellor the very best up-to-date information. Under the directorship of Vodo Biask Taldrya it was firmly established in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|36 ABY]] in the Caelus System and quickly set to work normalizing relations between the native population and the Clan as it was known at the time.

After being forced to leave their historical dominion, Taldryan re-settled in the Caelus System within the [[starwars:Seitia_Sector|Seitia Sector]] in 36 ABY.

Sons & Daughters of Taldryan

Teebu Nyrrire: Updating recent Taldrya additions.

<div class="floatleft">[[File:Taldrya.gif|190px]]</div>
In times past the members of Clan Taldryan have been through a great many things that tested their loyalty. Yet there are many who have stuck with the Clan through thick and thin, no matter what. Clan loyalty is something to cherish, for it shows the type of person you truly are, and in the long run defines Taldryan in and of itself. [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]] has become one of the most successful Clan in Brotherhood history for one reason...its members. Without the intense loyalty of its members, Taldryan would not be in the place it is today.

To honor those members who have demonstrated their loyalty to Clan Taldryan, the Taldrya can grant to that member the honor of using the Clan name as their own. These members participate in a secret Clan ceremony during which they are bound through the Dark Side to Taldryan. They add "Taldrya" to their name, and are considered an official "Son or Daughter of Taldryan", or "Scion of Taldryan." These members bound to their Clan, and will lose their title should they ever depart for another Clan. They are a special order within Taldryan, and are highly regarded by its membership. Hard work and loyalty is what earned these members the right to call themselves '''Sons and Daughters of Taldryan''', if you are a consistently active contributor to the Clan, and stay loyal to Taldryan, you too could find your name on this list one day.

{{Quote|Without honor, we are nothing but savages. Without loyalty, nothing but betrayers. It is these two virtues that make us who we are, and without them, make us who we should never be.| Cassandra Tyris}}

'''Cassandra Oriana Tyris''' is the '''Supreme Chancellor''' of the [[Taldryan Republic]], and a former '''Senator''' for the city of '''Caleria''' on the Republic capital world of [[Kasiya]]. She is the second to hold this station, and often times is referred to by the title given to her because of that: '''Lady Second'''. She is also a member of the '''Taldrya''', having been recently inducted into their roll after he constant and selfless devotion to the Republic.

== Early History (Birth - 40 ABY) ==
Remembering very little about her childhood's younger years, the first memories that Cassandra can recall were when she was discovered by a group of [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] warriors who were passing through an area that had been ravaged by an [[starwars:Imperial Remanant|Imperial Remnant]] group. They had found her with to the body of a woman, assumed to be her mother. At the time, according to them, she was no more than six years old. The area clearly had been destroyed a significant time ago, and even in a famished fatigued state, the young girl stood firmly against the Mandalorians with a spear in hand to defend her mother's corpse. Impressed by her bravery and resilience, they took her in as a foundling and raised her as their own on the ruined planet of [[starwars:Concord_Dawn|Concord Dawn]].

Growing up within the Mandalorian culture, she learned the importance of honor, strength, and loyalty. She was trained in the art of combat and became a skilled warrior in her own right. She quickly rose in both practical and intellectual knowledge, physical strength, and mastery of the [[Martial_Arts_Forms#Mandalorian_Core|Mandalorian Core]] martial art all by the age of 10 which earned the respect of her fellow Mandalorians.

Despite her loyalty to the Mandalorian way of life, the young girl had a deep desire to explore the galaxy and see what else was out there. When she reached the age of 13, Cassandra participated in her clan's rite of passage: ''verd'goten''. She was tested on everything she had learned, besting many of the more seasoned Mandalorians within the clan, and eventually was proclaimed an adult in their eyes. As an adult, she was given the choice to become a full Mandalorian, but she instead chose to leave the Mandalorians and embarked on a journey of self-discovery.

Upon her departure, she was given a [[starwars:beskar|beskar]] necklace which had a crest hanging from it with a symbol of a [[starwars: Quenker|Quenker]], the creature of which she had rescued a cub from when it was separated from its family and spent nearly a month to find its family and return it. On the same necklace was a purple and white pendant that she was told she had been found with, opening to reveal a quote inside: '"My stars, my life, I love you always and forever my precious Cassandra Oriana. - Alana Tyris, Mom"'

She had a name. Cassandra Oriana...Tyris. With bittersweet goodbyes, she made her way off of Concord Dawn and began exploring the galaxy. Compared to what she had been used to, it was a vast and endless place both with its positives, and its negatives.

=== Taldryan Days (36-40 ABY) ===
After many years of traveling the stars, journeying from system to system, she found herself on the moon [[Ostara]] in 36 ABY, a bustling world known for its diversity and tolerance. There, she became involved in local politics and began advocating for the rights of citizens who were often marginalized and overlooked by the ruling clan of [[Taldryan]]. Her efforts on behalf of the people of Ostara earned her a reputation as a passionate and effective advocate. She was eventually appointed as an advocate to the Taldryan leadership within the Citadel, the clan's base of operations, for the citizens and she worked tirelessly to improve the lives of those around her.

As her influence grew, an event known as the [[Elysia]] Incident occurred which resulted in solar flares from the Caelus Star striking the moon and severely disrupting its magnetic field. Organizing as many civilian transports as she could, Cassandra assisted in the evacuation of the world but inevitably she was unable to escape before ion storms engulfed the skies, destroying several transports already ascending towards space and preventing anyone else from leaving.

[[File:Casstraining.png|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra learning the art of Vaapad.]]

With the moon trapped in perpetual darkness, the only light coming from the constant storms far above in the atmosphere, Cassandra worked closely with the remaining Taldryan members and civilians that were still there to try and mete out a life for themselves. Most electronics fried, and it was several months before reinforced generators could be constructed and the first fringes of power restored to the Citadel. It had been noticed that she was force sensitive, something that priorly had been overlooked, during an attack on the Citadel ruins by a pack of rancor that intruded from the forest.

As one of them had moved towards a group of children, Cassandra placed herself between the group and the rancor and in her anger somehow had sent it staggering backwards with a deep indent in its chest. It had struggled to breathe, before it finally dropped to the ground and was dead. Upon seeing this, one of the [[Force Disciple|Force Disciples]] that was present on Ostara took her under his wing and helped teach her how to control her power and harness it. He also taught her the exquisite lightsaber art of [[Lightsaber_Forms#Form_8_-_Vaapad|Vaapad]], using his own force powers to help in hardening her emotions and mind to master it.

Several years passed before the [[Regent]] of the Brotherhood, [[Zxyl Taldrya]], managed to get through the ion storms. She was happy to learn that nearly everyone who had fled Ostara had survived. Upon being given the option to remain on Ostara or travel to the new capital on the moon [[Kasiya]], she chose to go. She knew those still there would be fine, as they all had gained immense strength and capabilities over those dark years, and wanted to work towards the betterment of the now reformed [[Taldryan Republic]] as a whole.

Shortly after arriving on Kasiya in 40 ABY and diving right into life as an advocate, she gained the attention of the leaders of the city of Caleria where she was living. They recognized not just her talent, but many of them remembered her and her efforts on Ostara years ago. She was asked to become a Senator for Caleria, to represent them and their interests within the Taldryan Senate.

At first, she was hesitant to take on such a responsibility. But after much reflection, she realized that this was an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of millions of people. She accepted the position and after moving to the capital of [[Port Kasiya]] she began her new role with passion and dedication.

As a senator, she worked to strengthen the ties between Port Kasiya and Caleria, as well as improve relations with the neighboring moon of [[Chyron]]. She also pushed for legislation that would help subsidize homes for the city's homeless population in Holmes, protect the environment, and promote sustainable practices. Despite facing opposition and criticism from some of her fellow senators, she remained steadfast in her beliefs and continued to fight for what she thought was right.

Over time, she became one of the most respected and influential politicians on Kasiya. Her leadership and dedication earned her the nickname '''"The People's Senator."''' Looking back on her life, she knew that she had come a long way from her humble beginnings as a foundling. She was proud of the person she had become and knew that her journey was far from over.

== Dark Whirlwinds (41 ABY) ==
=== The Second Chancellor ===
In early 41 ABY, [[starwars:Supreme_Chancellor|Supreme Chancellor]] and '''Lord First''' [[Appius Wight]] brought a motion before the senate to assist in the defense of the [[starwars:Saijo_sector|Saijo Sector]] directly to the south of their sector. Pirates had somehow managed to break through the extensive defensive perimeter that the Saijo monarchy had established along their southern border with the [[starwars:Kallea_sector|Kallea Sector]]. As part of his argument for supporting the assault, he warned what could happen should the pirates overtake the system as Taldryan's own home sector was next in their path. This was especially emphasized due to the mysterious disappearance of the '''Vice-Chancellor''' and Naval [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] [[Teebu Nyrrire]], which had already greatly weakened their naval offensive and defensive capabilities.

Despite the warnings, the senate overwhelmingly voted against their involvement in the war, as in their eyes there was not enough evidence to support any credence that the pirates would indeed move further north. Already they were far outside of their normal areas and for decades Saijo had blockaded every form of supply route that could have benefited Kallea, particularly the Corellian Trade Spine, and constantly authorized assaults into their territories. The citizens of Caleria were equally apprehensive and desired nothing more than to focus on themselves for now and continue finding ways to try and get back to Ostara, since all support in doing so from the Republic itself had all but faded. Due to this, Cassandra voted against joining the war as well.

She was stunned when barely a few days later word had reached her offices back in Caleria that the Supreme Chancellor had ignored the will of the senate and dispatched the [[Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet]] to assist the Saijo monarchy in fighting back the pirates. Almost immediately the senate called an emergency session with '''War Marshal''' [[Lee Starr]] presiding in the absence of both Chancellors. While many could understand the reasonings behind what he had done, many of the other senators could not get over the singular fact of the issue: he disobeyed a direct senate mandate. Finally, the senator of [[Chyron]] brought the motion for a [[starwars:Vote_of_No_Confidence|Vote of No Confidence]] in the Lord First's leadership. It fell largely against the expected lines, with Chyron and other Calerian senators all voting in favor, while most of [[Elysia]]'s and Kasiya's senators voted against it. Cassandra was one of just a few Calerian senators to vote against it, favoring instead severe sanctions against his office, given everything he had accomplished and done for the Republic. It came down to a solid tie, in which the War Marshal concurred with those voting in favor of his removal.

When the fleet returned, Appius had closed himself up in his office while the newly returned Vice-Chancellor Nyrrire assumed his post in leading the senate. When votes came up on who should be nominated to succeed him as the '''Second Chancellor''', [[starwars:Grand_Admiral|Grand Admiral]] Teebu Nyrrire of the Naval Fleet, nominated himself as he already had the post of Vice-Chancellor and direct succession made the most sense. However, before the vote could take place, once again the Chyron delegation stood against it. They cited his disappearance and the sudden appearance of damning evidence that he had been working with the main adversary of the Taldryan Republic, the [[19th Saber Imperial Remnant]] as one of their officers the near half-year he had been gone. The cries to instead vote for another, similarly, were more vocal than anything else. Once Nyrrire retired himself from the chamber, the most prominent names went up. [[Jorm_"The_Jester"_Na'trej|Jorm Na'trej]], who was the Chancellor of Chyron, War Marshal Lee Starr of the Taldryan Strategic Operations Council, '''Koda Kendis''' the Chancellor of Elysia, among four others. Coming as a shock to both herself and a few others, Cassandra's name was thrown up alongside theirs.

Once her name was up the deliberations were not long before a vote was held and it was a close race between herself and Jorm Na'trej, the others trailing far behind. Ultimately, however, she pulled ahead in the later hours and the gap only grew. By the evening of the same day that both of the former Chancellors had been all but removed from power, she was now to assume the role of the Second Chancellor and '''Lady Second''', as the Taldryan Republic's new Supreme Chancellor.

=== Disappearances and a Mock War ===
The next day as she assumed her post and had her belongings transferred to '''Taldryan Tower''', she was stunned to find everything from her predecessor was gone. His quarters cleared out. His office was barren except for the large furniture that had been present before. Everything that could have indicated anyone had even been in this office was gone, leaving the illusion that she herself was the first to be there. Upon requesting an inquiry, she found out that Appius had disappeared from the city without so much as a word after the vote to remove him had taken place. Nyrrire, as well, had gone missing though the [[Office of Secret Intelligence]] had obtained evidence that he had been kidnapped by unknown renegades. Only one of his twin lightsabers remained and now was in her possession.

Initially she brought on the Elysian Chancellor, Koda Kendis, as her Vice-Chancellor but his longing for his home as well as the constant bustle of the bureaucracy proved to be not for him and she gracefully allowed him to return home. Following that, she identified someone who had served Taldryan in the past: The last Consul, [[Seraine_"Erinyes"_Taldrya_Ténama|Seraine "Erinyes" Ténama]].

Strangely enough, it wasn't her who sought Erinyes out but the exact opposite when Erinyes randomly visited Taldryan Tower to discuss the opening of a new vineyard in the northern reaches of the Karufr Lowlands. Excited about the prospect, the two traveled together to the area in question and started bonding over their love of wine. When Erin questioned where Koda was and how he was doing, Cassandra informed her of his recent resignation and that she stood alone at the summit. With everything that had happened to Taldryan the last several years, she made the decision to offer herself up to be the next Vice-Chancellor. The idea was brought before the Taldryan Republic Administrative Committee for a vote, and unanimously was approved. As was the vineyard, by Cassandra.

== [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]] (41 ABY) ==
=== The First Signs of Fracture ===
Late in 41 ABY, a heavily encrypted communication was sent by [[Grand Master]] [[Evant Taelyan]] directly to Cassandra's office. Up until this point, the Brotherhood had been fairly quiet aside from occasional requests for materials and goods, and this act was something that initially worried her. The Republic Senate held a strong stance against the Brotherhood, wanting to stand on its own two feet away from them. She, however, understood the connections between Taldryan and the Brotherhood and still ensured they were involved as directly as they chose to be and that loyalty to the Iron Throne was maintained.

[[File:CassandraTyris.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Cassandra the night before the start of the War.]]

The communication was short, brisk, and to the point. Both Cassandra and the Taldryan military were to report to a specific set of coordinates where a 'gate' had been constructed which lead to where the Children of Mortis were hiding. The plan was to infiltrate their home region on the other side of the gate known as the [[Ethereal_Realm|Ethereal Realm]]. Initially she brought this before the Senate and overwhelmingly was denied in the taking of Taldryan resources and military strength to do nothing but be the Iron Throne's 'dog', but after reminding them of what happened to Taldryan's old home of [[Karufr]] at the hands of the Brotherhood's Iron Navy and that the Republic in its current form would not be able to withstand a direct assault, the vote again was held and passed.

It was at this point the Taldryan Republic had entered it's second war, the [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War]].

=== The Ethereal Realm ===
Being new to this level of leadership as a Chancellor, Cassandra elected to join her forces on the front lines during the initial assaults into the realm. The realm itself was unique in that the force was extremely unstable when it came to the force. At times she was forced to rely on her own physical strength and endurance, while other times she could fight almost endlessly across the battlefield with unending haste and stamina as if someone had turned on a water tap and just left it running. Other times she was able to utilize abilities of the force she had never learned or even considered using before that point.

Along with members of the Black Fire Brigade, a recently re-activated detachment of the Summit Guards, a good handful of Cassandra's closest friends whom were in the Taldryan Military chose to join the front lines of the Shattered Fields as well and fight alongside her with other Taldryanites that had gone as well. Taldryan itself held itself directly in the vanguard of the assaulting forces from the various clans, demonstrating its commitment to following the will of the throne.

A catastrophy would nearly occur however when herself, Shanree, and several others would break off from the front lines to traverse the Corpse Fields and get around to the backside of a massive fort which stood in the way of the main forces. This tactic had been considered by the Children, and an empowered force was sent to face off against them. The battle was grim from the start and as it went on, it looked as if they were all going to fall there. Channeling a newly invigorated level of the Force that had entered her body, Cassandra conjured a massive Force Storm into the sky. The enemy forces fell by the dozens, some of the bolts nearly taking down Shanree as well. He, however, as a [[starwars:Miraluka|Miraluka]] who could see with the Force, saw that this power was about to overwhelm and consume her. In a rather brash and selfish move, he dodged numerous bolts as he sprinted to her and dove into her, disrupting the flow of the storm and bringing it to an end.

=== Realization ===
Ultimately the tactic succeeded as the group reached the rear of the fort and fought their way inside, opening the front to provide a path for the military forces to enter. Once the fort had fallen and the army passed through the fields, only the Fortress of the Unchained which served as the Children of Mortis' base of operations, stood before them.

Easily this proved to be the most difficult part of the battle, though one perk of the fortress being similar to a massive castle, there were plenty of open windows for enemies to be telekinetically thrown out. Or, at times when she was empowered, making a window to throw them out using their bodies as hammers.

Deep within the fortress she came across a massive crystalline rancor, and saw [[Clan Plagueis]]' [[Consul]] [[Selika_Roh|Selika Roh]] and [[Alaris Jinn]], also from Plagueis, about to enter combat with it. She lept down from the balcony where she had just thrown several others out of a nearby window and offered to assist with the endeavor. After a significant fight of which the hard crystals of the rancor proved nearly indestructible, the three who each had a mastery of telekinetic powers, worked in tandem in a triangular formation and together telekinetically crushed the rancor. The three returned to their rightful assault forces and continued the fight. It was not long before the fortress was nearly overwhelmed, and victory was in reach.

After the fortress had fallen, a fall-back order was given by [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Dacien Victae]] to depart the realm with victory secured. With ships unusable, it was a long journey back to the portal. Once back on the outside, the Taldryan forces began to regroup and take count. It was at this point Cassandra noticed she was unable to sense the others that had came with her, and upon checking the casualty logs from the Medic Corps, fell aghast at what she saw. All seven of her military friends whom had joined her, had perished in various stages of the advance to the fortress.

=== Hero? ===
During the journey back to Caelus, Cassandra's thoughts did nothing but haunt her. *She* was the reason they were dead. The reason they were even with the vanguard to begin with, as none of them had ever been part of a front-line force before. They wouldn't have been there if not for her, and they would have been safe.

This was made worse for her after they had returned to the Caelus system to thunderous applause from the Republic, word having reached them first of her being declared a ''Hero of the War'''. To her, she was no hero. She knew she went into the war in a completely naive manner, something she should have instead ran through the military leadership and let them coordinate with her help. Instead, now she was being celebrated while the families of her friends mourned. Taldryanites toasted with her, while her friends never would again. Her mind continuously began to spiral downward, and as new issues and threats arose, she began to question herself and her choices.

With the instability that sat in her mind, a [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] Inquisitor by the name of ''Anders'' was sent by newly placed [[Grand Master]] Dacien to keep an eye on things within the Taldryan Republic. Given the nature of the Senate's stance towards them, if Cassandra fell from grace, he would not allow Taldryan to secede from them. This was a legitimate threat as following the sudden disappearance of [[Appius Wight|Appius]], it had already been brought up by the Senate.

She was far enough off of her normal routine that after Erinyes had been promoted to the post of ''Emissary of the Brotherhood'', Anders manipulated the list of candidates to replace her and ensured his own rise to Vice-Chancellor. This act placed him directly where he could both watch Cassandra, and ensure there were no treasonous acts against the Brotherhood by the senate of which he now had full access to.

== The Kasiyan Blizzard (41 ABY) ==
Her concern now, putting his deceptive and own treasonous act to the side, was the upcoming alignment of [[Huracan]] and [[Grannus]] to cause an eclipse on Kasiya, which was predicted to bring a massive snowstorm to the moon. The rest she was able to sense was connected to her time being gone, with the mental consensus questioning where she had been all this time.

Initially within projections, a request was put out to the Brotherhood at large at the senate's request to see if any volunteers would be willing to assist with the fallout from these storms. This action made Cassandra chuckle, as up until now they wanted nothing to do with the Brotherhood. It was like pulling rancor teeth to get them to do anything involving them, but now that a crisis was on their doorstep they made the motion before even speaking to her about it. Luckily, she had already put out requests, and answers came from all across...even Taldryan's traditional adversary, [[Clan Arcona]].

As the planets aligned, shorltly after forces from each of the Clans had arrived including some from the Council itself, the storm struck Kasiya just as predicted. The intensity, however, was far more severe than anticipated. Grannus' alignment resulted in a massive volcanic shift on the two worlds. This spawned a massive storm in which the temperatures were predicted to fall low enough to freeze even oxygen itself on the surface. After learning that the forces helping with civilian evacuations would not have enough time to secure but at least 35% of them and restore maybe a quarter of the power to the city, Cassandra left her post in the safety of the Senate Complex against the orders of Senator Frei-Jar whom had opted to grab a hold of her to stop her. This act resulted in her telekinetically throwing him through the senate chamber doors and into the main hallway as she turned and left, Frei-Jar left cowering in fear. Cassandra made her way to Port Kasiya to try and use her skills in Telekinesis to hold the storm off and buy the teams as much time as she could.

When she arrived at the highest building on the western edge of the city wearing a weather-resistant armor suit, however, she was shocked to see an Arconan named [[Ruka Tenbriss Ya-ir]] already there and about to do the exact same thing. Joining forces, they projected their telekinetic powers into a wide net which held the giant black storm just to the west of the city.

The gambit worked, at least partially. The storm was slowed by their collective efforts but gradually continued to make its way toward Port Kasiya. As the temperature plummeted, the power within her suit did the same. In under an hour the storm was on the edge of the city, Ruka all but nearly frozen solid and Cassandra's armor power levels gone and her own temperature began to plummet. In an unusual act, former [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]] arrived from orbit and added his own power to the duo to further hold it back. Despite his request for her to back off now, Cassandra refused due to Ruka being incapacitated yet not realizing that Ruka was still channeling telekinesis despite being frozen and continued to push herself to her absolute limits.

In a last ditch effort, Muz used a power that forced energy from the Force and blasted the storm back several miles which bought them a significant amount more of time and warmed the air around them but drained his own energy significantly. Taking that moment to gain a breath, Cassandra pulled off her now useless helmet and gulped in the slightly warmer air as the air in the suit had become stagnant when the life support system failed.

Others who had arrived to provide general support, having sensed Ruka's condition, were shocked at the fact that someone from Taldryan showed concern for an Arconae before themself given the negative relations and standing between the two. As the storm began to rage closer once again, Cassandra checked the status and the rescue efforts were around 80%. Needing to buy a little more time she forced herself back up and requested that Ruka be taken to safety as she once again raised her arms to slow its advance with Muz doing the same. The Arconans did as she had asked and fled into the building below.

The pair gave them as long as they feasibly could, the temperature already down to deadly levels again, but at the limit rescue efforts had just been completed. Far above, the Allegiance Battle Group was actively working to try and forcefully separate the two planets to try and bring an end to the storms but the magnetic pull between the two proved to be far too strong even at full bombardment on Huracan's surface. With that, they bolted down into the building as the storm quickly raged over the building and began forming ice inside of the quickly closed door.

About an hour later, as the center of the gap between the two planets came into view, the storms briefly backed off from the city. An idea had come across Muz' mind after hearing what the fleet above was doing, and requested to be taken to their flagship. Cassandra happily obliged and together they traveled to the [Taldryan Republic Naval Fleet] Flagship, the ''Leviathan''. A significant amount of the crew was shocked to see a non-Taldryan on board, but they dared not question it.

At the same time, the eye of the storm began to close as Huracan came into view of the star, and an even more intense storm began to form. Muz once again forced energy from the Force, this time on a far larger scale with multiple others including the ship's [[starwars:Admiral|Admiral]] offering as well.

Using what he could muster, the orbit of Grannus began to shift away from Huracan before it was eventually in the same orbit line and speed as Perune. As they were separated, the magma bursts and eruptions ceased and all seemed to go calm on Grannus. Muz fell to one knee completely exhausted, while most of the others completely passed out except for Cassandra who barely kept herself conscious.

== The Regent, The Mandalorian, The Traditionalist (41-42 ABY) ==
It was not long before Zxyl took notice during a visit to [[Port Kasiya]] following the snowstorm that something was wrong. Without even speaking to Cassandra, he noticed she was not the same as she had been when they met on Ostara, discussed details of Caleria's advancement, bringing the Axios back online, or even during the war. Using some of his contacts, he found out exactly what was going on and how it weighed on her mind. His first thought was of just how naive and inexperienced she truly was to have gotten into that state, but it was not something he would say. It was something that he full well knew she understood and aimed at herself far more negatively than he could ever try to convey.

During a conversation with Dasha 'Talus' Jalus in his tongue of Mando'a, he was surprised when the nearby Cassandra whom was sitting at the riverfront, responded and added to the conversation in the same language. While fairly rusty, it was still very accurate. The conversation between Dasha and him moved elsewhere to a more private setting, but he eventually returned to the riverfront and spoke with her. He asked her how she came to know that language, to which she explained her past. How she came to be a foundling after her mother's death, eventually leaving the clan who had taken her in to be able and explore the galaxy.

From his experiences with her, he knew her dedication to Taldryan. He never acknowledged her position as the Supreme Chancellor, instead as what she would have been: the Consul of Clan Taldryan. Despite that position no longer existing, she still acted like she was much to his impressment. Even when the Senate acted against ideals of attributes that defined it, she always stood steadfast against them. She even put herself in harms way during the war for the Clan. Anyone else, he would never have done this. But, after some time Zxyl made her an offer: He gave her a heavily encrypted data chip that had a set of coordinates on it, and if she wanted his help in becoming stronger not just for herself but for Taldryan's benefit she was to meet him there. Quietly.

While she was reluctant to leave the Republic in Anders' hands, she knew that Taldryan had to come first. And at this point she was in no shape to lead it, much less defend it. Without a hesitating thought she accepted his offer and immediately began making preparations.

=== The Brutal Tutilage of Bes'uliik ===
The coordinates lead her to a secluded and well-hidden world known as Nau'ur. As her ship descended on a pre-programmed course set from within the data chip, the landscape she saw reminded her much of the ruins of [[starwars:Yavin_4|Yavin 4]]. It was an impressive, quiet world to be sure. Once on the ground, she walked to the main temple in an athletic style outfit and a large duffle bag with extra clothing, boots, her lightsabers, and other gear.

Once there, Zxyl welcomed her to the home of the Bes'uliik Mandalorians. She was the first outsider to ever set foot here, and warned she had better not make him regret it. From the start, the terms were laid out. She was to listen to every order she was given, to perform every task that was assigned, and maintain honor during it above all else. This would not be a problem for her, she thought. However, he then included that she was to relinquish her lightsabers for the duration and the usage of force powers was strictly prohibited. He explained that this was because Mandalorians in nature did not use either, and if she was to become stronger, she would have to do the same in proving herself worthy and capable.

Not a word was spoken before she had her lightsabers out and presented to him, the same doubtless and no hesitating demeanor she showed on Kasiya. With that done, the training had begun the same day. At the start, she had issues suppressing her force usage due to her skills and nature as a Marauder. Using the force was almost passive to her, and learning to turn it off proved to be the most difficult task at that point.

Training would go through several months, each day becoming more and more difficult with more asked of her. Some tasks that would frighten, scare, or break normal people she powered through with incredible levels of resolve. Zxyl was nearly confident that she could probably face a [[starwars:Rancor|rancor]] down and probably still not flinch.

Just several days in she was forced to go head to head with six other Mandalorians in martial arts all at the same time immediately after having climbed a massive near-mile-high chasm wall deep within the depths of the forest. The time in which she had done so was already impressive as it was, but she managed to subdue four of the six before her stamina finally showed signs of real fatigue.

The battle was stopped at that point, much to Cassandra's surprise. He had learned exactly what he sought out to learn: her limits. Mentally, he knew them from his experience with her on Kasiya. With combat, that was another story with her prowess already being exceptionally high. At this point the real training would begin.

She was instructed by him personally when it came to the ideals, principles, and expectations of those who became Mandalorians under him. While not required to be to the same standards of which he held himself, such as never removing his helmet around others, she would have to uphold the ideals and principles. If she ever broke those, her life would be all but forfeit. He also taught her various types of philosophy, helping her bolster her mental strength. Drilled into her was the absolute fact that her strength and resolve would directly translate to the strength and resolve of Taldryan, and each time she stumbled it too would stumble. As a Consul, or 'Supreme Chancellor' he begrudgingly included, maintaining this was a baseline requirement as had been done by Consuls before her.

He also drilled into her that in war, people will die. Death is a fact of the galaxy and there is no stopping or preventing it, that even one day both him and her would die. When it came to moving forward, the most crucial step that the living could take was the honoring of the memories of the fallen and remembering them and what they stood for. In doing that, she could further increase her own resolve and strength by adding what they had given her in the time they knew each other.

With the physical aspects of the training, she was placed under the tutelage of other Mandalorians who had achieved mastery in different areas. Each day she trained herself in Martial Arts and hand-to-hand combat, ran miles on miles with the expectation of how much climbing each day, weight training with boulders and trees, and random tests on her knowledge of the Mandalorians and what Zxyl had been teaching her about their ideals and principles.

Several months would go by, and much as he had expected, she had not complained once. While she had faltered in the beginning, her skills and ability had sharpened. It was at this point he returned her lightsabers to her and began to train with her in lightsaber combat, knowing this was her strongest suit. When it came to ranged weaponry, she was not nearly as proficient compared to her close-quarters combat capabilities. She had also shown concern of what could occur within the Senate if it became known of what she was doing here, especially if she did pass the grueling tests being placed upon her.

Eventually, her skills with a lightsaber surpassed his own and on a regular basis he was bested when it came to dueling. Never once did she gloat, however, always eager to go again and have another match. Her abilities and skills had reached his own level, even exceeding it in several places. Without a doubt, she had easily become an elder-level combatant like himself.

[[File:Cassmastery.jpeg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra, with blonde hair, at the peak of her training after her sabers had been returned.]]

As a milestone test she once again was placed in combat against other Mandalorians after climbing the chasm in half of the time she did when she first attempted it, this time those fighting against her doubled to 16. One by one they were thrown to the ground, dodged, countered, and tripped, with not a single successful strike being made on her.

One of the nights after, Cassandra stared at herself in the mirror. She knew she had grown exponentially, both inside and out, but could not help but notice that to her she appeared the same visibly. In an act to definitively set upon the path she had now started to walk, she spent the next several hours bleaching her hair. It took several attempts to get the red out before finally she was left with a soft blonde color.

=== The Lady Second Reborn ===
It was already well into the start of 41 ABY before her training would be completed, nearly six months having passed. Cassandra was summoned before Zxyl at a large pool of water at a lake in the forest and presented with verd'goten. Where she had passed on it years ago, opting for a different life, she accepted it wholeheartedly and fully. While in the water, she recited the words of the Mandalorian Creed and became one of them.

Back at the temple, the two began to talk and discuss what would happen at this point. Zxyl told her that he would craft her a set of beskar armor, but knew that she would be unable to wear a traditional Mandalorian-style set, or openly bear any links to their clan as the fury of the Senate and the Republic would easily be directed at both him and the civilians within Caleria and on Ostara.

[[File:Cassbeskar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra arriving back in Port Kasiya in her Beskar Garb]]

He inquired if she had anything in mind to which she stated she had already thought ahead. She handed him a piece of parchment with a crudely drawn illustration of what the beskar armor could look like. It was divided into two sections, with cloth additions. The upper body, arms, and pauldrons would be in red with gold trim, and the lower body and gloves would be gold with dark gold trim. Attached to the pauldrons would be a red cloak with gold ornate trim and Taldryan's crest emblazoned on the back of it.

While it was not traditional, it was something he could work with as it was simple enough for her to actively and consistently wear. He internally acknowledged that she would not be exactly like him and the others, but if the time came she would be. Even then, she would without a doubt maintain the standards of the creed and continue to put Taldryan first as she always had before.

Several days later after continuing with training at her own behest, this time using the force to become reacquainted with it, she was once again summoned and presented with her armor and helmet. Much to her amazement, it was a solid fit just like a glove on her hand. And with that, she bid them farewell for now and began her journey back to Kasiya.

== The Fortress Cloudhaven and the Nightmare ==
Upon her return to Port Kasiya, work began to catch up on things that had fallen behind while she was gone. Her Vice-Chancellor, Anders, had gone missing during an expedition to Mount Arreat and a team was dispatched with a recently returned Erinyes at the lead. As she looked into Cloudhaven more and more, however, she noticed that a significant amount of data in regards to it which had been secured behind a Chancellor-Eyes-Only access level had been deleted. Deleted by her predecessor, Lord First Appius Wight.

Status updates over the next week regularly came into her private office about what was occurring during the mission, the discovery of Karufr City, Anders' apprehension by the droids and security services that guarded the city, and their efforts at negotiating his release. Data from the city's archive was discreetly sent to her by the Governor of Karufr City, from which she learned a significant amount.

Mysteriously, aid and support from Port Kasiya had ceased despite continued requests and previous support having been given by the Chancellor's office. The frequency used to communicate had even been blacklisted across the entire city. The shield, even, which had been used to protect the city also masked it from the outside world.

[[File:Cassregal.jpeg|thumb|right|250px|Cassandra in one of her clothing sets, sitting upon the Chancellor's Throne.]]

Construction of Karufr City had been initiated by Appius, as a way to honor Taldryan's legacy before he evolved it into a Republic. Did he have doubts about what he had done, despite the shift in policy towards a people's Taldryan? Did he have fears of what the senate could potentially do given the rise of the Traditionalists with Zxyl at the lead? Already she had begun to align herself with some of the ideals of the Traditionalists after learning much about Taldryan's past the she had not known before, going back to its formation from a House decades prior. Knowing that, and looking at what the Senate now strived to do, she began to doubt their actions were for the benefit of Taldryan but instead for themselves.

Stranger even was the sudden stop of everything Appius had been doing there. The regular reports he input on an almost daily basis ceased on the same day he disappeared from Port Kasiya just hours before the Vote of No Confidence. Even the timeline of information regarding Karufr City being deleted matched up almost exactly, to a scary level of precision. Could the Senate have orchestrated his disappearance and the data being removed? It didn't make sense, but something was going on without a doubt.

An emergency signal was received from Erinyes and the team in Karufr City before she could delve any deeper. The droids and the defenses within the city had turned on them and the city security force for no reason, and the team narrowly escaped with their lives and Anders in tow. Overhearing conversations over the security officers' comms, it was ascertained that the droids had come from the Taldryan Great Hall; the capital building of Karufr City. Upon looking over the schematics of the city, a startling fact was realized. The Great Hall was the summit of the former Cloudhaven Fortress and was the main access to the heated and radioactive core of it.

With droids having been seen down on lower floors before, and the droid invasion occurring from there, she realized that something was happening within the fortress. Given the risk of the Senate's involvement in everything surrounding the city, she decided to have her newly appointed Magistrate, [[Alaisy Tir’eivra]], coordinate the quiet forming of a task force made up of non-military assets to investigate Cloudhaven Fortress. And she, eager to see if anything could be found regarding Appius' disappearance could be found there, would be going with.

[[File:Cassandrabar.jpeg|250px|thumb|left|Cassandra at a Port Kasiya bar, talking to Anders from his POV.]]

While the mission was being planned out, Cassandra invited Anders out for a drink which seemingly caught him off guard. After what he had done, he half expected to be chastized from one corner of Port Kasiya to the other. Instead, it was the exact opposite as she desired to get to know him better. Since what he had done was binding, and only an act of the Senate could undo it, if it were found out the Council would greatly frown upon him and probably pull him from the assignment and put him on Hoth. He couldn't argue that. So, the compromise was, they get to know each other better and he never try and circumvent her like that again. Reluctantly, he agreed though he couldn't help but sense she was fishing for something though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

In actuality, she was legitimately trying to make things as efficient as possible and her attempt was indeed sincere. She wanted to give no reasons or credence to specific nightmares that had begun to plague her in her sleep. Ever since when she had begun questioning the senate, and learning what Taldryan truly meant from Zxyl, she had doubts that they were acting in the best interests of it. But instead, for their own interests. The nightmare came as a nuclear scenario, as she stormed the Senate Complex with the full force of the Summit Guard and Cohors at her back. Naturally, the Senate Guard stood in opposition as their sole duty was the protection of the Senate, but the strength they had paled in comparison.

[[File:Cassnightmare.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Cassandra's nightmare where she assaulted the Senate Complex with her forces.]]

One after the other, the Senators and guards fell until eventually the complex was purged. At that point, she united the various cities and groups around Kasiya, and as Consul, restored Taldryan back to its original Clan status like it had existed before Appius. What concerned her the most, and the most vivid aspect of it all, was the orange eyes she had. The orange eyes of one who has fallen from grace as a Jedi. She needed to do all she could to avoid that scenario, even if it was just a nightmare and nothing more. History often was doomed to repeat itself, and she would not risk the lives of Taldryan people.
