Orders of the Brotherhood

== History ==

Until more recent times, a member within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood would associate themselves with an [[Orders of the Brotherhood (Legacy)|Order]]. These three orders provided students of the Dark Side with three different paths in which to accumulate personal power. Each of the Orders had its own manner of operations, along with associated strengths and weaknesses that drew students to them. Originally, the three Orders on the Tripartite Path were the manipulative and subtle [[Krath]], the ruthless warriors of the [[Obelisk]] and the cunning, domination focused [[Sith]].

The Brotherhood operated under these three orders for many years, with each of the orders challenging each other for dominance but always serving the Dark Side first and foremost. This all changed after the events on [[New Tython]]. Under the leadership of Grand Master [[Muz Ashen]], Dark Jedi Brotherhood forces waged a war against a newly discovered group of Jedi on the planet. After much blood was spilled the conflict finally ended with the Jedi becoming part of the Brotherhood. This required a change to the organization.

The followers of the Light Side brought with them a mirror of the Tripartite Path. A Jedi could become a peaceful [[Consular]] focused on learning, a highly trained [[Guardian]] that focused on defensive combat or a skilled [[Sentinel]] that augmented their abilities with stealth and technology.

Following the abolishment of the Krath and Obelisk Orders under the rule of Darth Pravus, the Orders saw a change again. All members of the Jedi Order were joined beneath one Order, being balanced against the Sith and Gray Orders. Non-Force users were brought into one of two orders, Mercenary or Loyalist Orders. This would see change again under [[Telaris "Mav" Cantor|Grand Master Cantor]], with the Gray and Dark Jedi Orders being brought under a single umbrella: the Force Disciple order.

== Orders ==
A member’s order is akin to a chosen professional course. The first determining factor as to which orders are available to members are whether or not they have the ability to use the Force. Those who can wield the Force and those that cannot (Non-Force Users) will have different Orders available to them.

A Non-Force user is able to select from the Orders of [[Loyalist_(order)|Loyalist]] and [[Mercenary_(order)|Mercenary]]. A Loyalist has pledged their service and support to a branch of their unit’s military as a professional soldier. In stark contrast, the Mercenary’s services are sold to the highest bidder and are not generally part of the “official” command structure of a unit. These Orders carry a wide range of options for development. You could be the Bounty Hunter with a gruff exterior and a heart of gold as a Mercenary or you could be the cruel taskmaster pushing their troops to the brink and beyond as a Loyalist, or many options in-between.

Orders available to Force Users are: [[Jedi_Order|Jedi Order]], [[Sith_Order|Sith Order]], and the [[Force Disciple Order]]. The Force Disciple Order is less ideologically bound than the more traditional Jedi or Sith. For example, a Force Disciple could primarily use the light side of the Force but eschew the strict rules of the Jedi Order. The Jedi Order and Sith Order more closely align with their historical counterparts along with the rich histories and philosophical legacies of those organizations. Orders give members opportunity for more complex character development.

===Loyalist Order===

Not every of the Dark Brotherhood is a powerful Force user. Some of them are mundane people, who have decided to support the Brotherhood's agenda in one way or another. They very often join the military, either under the Dark Council or the Clans. They proudly serve as soldiers, pilots, mechanics, medics and others. They do not display Force sensitivity strong enough to be on par with trained Force Users, but do not let it deceive you. They are elite in their respective field of expertise, often supported not only with exceptional talents, but also with years of experience. They additionally receive extra training that makes them efficient in fighting Force Users. They are skilled in identifying Force-based attacks and well-versed in resisting such attacks within their scope of non-Force based abilities. Hence, they will not cower against enemies that are trained in the use of the Force.

The Loyalists are a force that one needs to reckon with.While the Force Users may be powerful enough to decimate armies and conquer new worlds for the Brotherhood, it is the army that will maintain control over these new worlds. Without the Loyalists, the power base of the Dark Brotherhood would soon vane as they would get involved in controlling the population instead of further conquest.

Many members of the Loyalist Order will find themselves in the leadership position, leading platoons, batallions, divisions or even whole armies, once they earn trust of the leaders of their Clans or the Iron throne. Others will earn their reputation as ferocious warriors or remain shrouded in shadows as special operatives and spies. Either way, they will climb through the military ranks as they prove themselves worthy of rewards for their loyal service. There have been One day, it may happen that a Loyalist will become the leader of whole Dark Brotherhood, which would be a revolutionary moment in the history of the organization.

===Mercenary Order===

Hired guns they are and their loyalty leans towards people who pay more. For many bounty hunters, smugglers and other people ready to sell their military expertise, the Dark Brotherhood has turned out to be a very profitable source of income. Often as talented as the Loyalists, the Mercenaries bring their skills in pilotting, fightning and other areas into the service of the Brotherhood. The main difference between them and the Loyalists is their motivation. While the Loyalists often share values of the group they work with. Mercenaries do it only for money. Mercenaries may be soldiers of fortunes, but they are also very often as skilled as the Loyalists are. They also receive additional trainings to make sure that they are capable of fighting the Force Users. They are hired for contracts, but they will not fear to fight anyone that opposes their employer.

Despite their money-oriented motivation, Mercenaries are an important part of the Dark Brotherhood forces. There is even a whole Clan based on Mandalorian culture, but Mercenaries are seen in the ranks of all Clans. Some of them have even become Consuls of various Clans, which is a visible sign of trust put by the Council into them, despite their potential for betrayal. As a Mercenary, you can achieve much and keep it all for yourself. As Mercenary's name become more and more recognizable for their skills and effectiveness, they may become legends in the Galaxy. However, be aware that it is a very competitive market and one needs to work really hard to gain the fame one deserves.

===Jedi Order===

Guardians of the peace and protectors of the innocent, the Jedi may seem to be a very unusual addition to the ranks of the Dark Brotherhood, where the followers of the dark side seem to be a dominant force. However, despite hatred and mutual distrust with the Sith and other proponents of the dark side, they are a vital part of the Brotherhood bringing a unique perspective to the challenges that it faces. Initially, when the jedi were first admitted into the ranks of the Dark Brotherhood, there was a single Jedi colony and Clan under the protection of the Iron Throne. However, over time, some Clans that traditionally consisted of the Sith loosened up their approach and opened to admit Jedi among their members.

The Jedi are loyal servants of the light side of the Force. They are strong with the Force and display a strong code of ethics revolving around compassion towards other beings, controlling one's emotions and protecting the meek from the violence, crime and the dark side. Apart from skills they
possess due to standard training and experience they have gained throughout the years, the Jedi are also Force-sensitive and can use supernatural powers provided by the Force. However, they do not use all abilities available since they believe that powers driven by emotions like anger, hatred or
suffering lead to the succumbing to the dark side of the Force, which is against the Jedi code.

However, as their understanding of the Force grows and they prove their devotion to the light side of the Force, they will climb through the ranks of the other and grow more and more powerful. A significant milestone within the Jedi Order is finishing a training and becoming a fully-trained Jedi
Knight. With time and devotion, the most dedicated members of the Jedi Order may become even renowned Jedi Masters who are among the wisest Jedi and often train new generations of the Jedi. Again, it may sound like a shocking situation, there have been some Jedi among members of the Council, leading various aspects of the Brotherhood. A notable example of a Jedi in the Council was Solari, who served as a Headmaster of the Shadow Academy.

===Sith Order===

As ancient as the Jedi, the Sith stemmed from the same root as the Jedi, but their teachings grew opposite to the followers of the light side of the Force. As servants of the dark side, the Sith are driven by greed, anger and hatred. They do not care about others and will pursuit their goals at all cost. Obtaining more and more power, both in terms of better use of the dark side of the Force and having political power, is their ultimate goal. Though everyone, who crosses their way, may be considered as their enemy, but they particularly hate Jedi as their sworn enemies. In one form or another, the Sith existed in the Galaxy for millenia.

To prove their worthiness, the Sith must show that they are cunning, cruel and determined to achieve their goals no matter of the cost. However, as they grow through ranks of their Order, they become more and more powerful. With time, they are allowed to study secret arcana of the dark side, learning unnatural powers, like Force Lightning or Force Choke, that make them feared warriors even among the bravest of soldiers.

The Sith are often seen at the top of echelons of Brotherhood's leadership. They have dominated the Council and Clan's leadership for many years. Though they share some of their former political influence with members of other Orders, the Sith still have strong impact on the future of the Brotherhood as every single Grand Master of the Brotherhood have been a Sith. It is not easy for the Sith to let an opportunity to seize more power off so simply.

===The Force Disciple===

Force-sensitive like the Jedi or the Sith, the Force Disciple do not adhere to neither of the codes.
They are often viewed as walkinf a fine line between both extremities, but the truth is more
complicated. Some of the Force Disciples follow the teachings of the light side, but they do not feel
like being a Jedi is their true way. Some others do not hesitate to use powers that are granted by the
dark side, but they are focused on personal gains, instead of the greater goal of eliminating the Jedi.
Another group indeed tries to balance the light side and the dark side, drawing their power from
both sides, but never leaning towards any of them too much.
Each of the Force Disciples develops in their own pace and unique way. They follow their own path
to show their independence from two primary sides of the conflict between the Jedi and the Sith.
Though not so dedicated to neither to the light side nor to the dark side, the Force Disciples are a
force to reckon with as they can unlock the same potential as the Jedi or the Sith, but without
restrictions imposed by their moral codes.
The Force Disciples often do not crave political influence as much as the Sith, but they are known
to lead other members of the Brotherhood on various positions. At least one of the Force Diciples
became a Deputy Grand Master, a potential successor of the ultimate leader of the organization.

=== Alignment & The Force ===

In the Brotherhood’s ''Character Sheet System'', Force powers are considered neutral and are not tied to any particular Order. This means that a Dark Jedi can use Healing and a Light Jedi can use Force Lightning. This is done for logistics reasons. For more information see the [[CS Guide: Force Powers]] article.

== Traditions ==

For those members who have reached the rank of [[Equite]], it is possible to declare further adherence beyond Orders. Some traditions are chosen and made available based on Order, while others are available to all members. These act more like ideological or organizational familiarity. It is important to note that while traditions are available to further refine characters for others, it is not a requirement for membership. This feature functions as a value add in outlining a character for others at a glance and in no way limits those who do not partake in the available options. For more information see the [[Traditions]] page for details on the currently available Traditions.

== Brief History ==
House Caliburnus had long been known as the [[Sith]] arm of the Royal Clan, [[Scholae Palatinae]]. Caught in a maelstrom of a political climate, House Caliburnus had once vanished from the Brotherhood entirely. Taking it's name from an ancient and legendary weapon, Caliburnus stood to fight with immeasurable tenacity. Steeped in the ancient riddles and mysteries of the Sith, Caliburnus had found the secret to resurrection. Then, on the outside reaches of the [[Cocytus System]], House Caliburnus had returned from the dead...

''Complete History: [[Caliburnus]]
''

== Society & Culture ==
House Caliburnus was extremely isolationist. Nearly half a billion kilometers from the rest of the Clan, [[Ptolomea]] was a lonely world. With little activity outside of the comfort of the House Compound, few ever ventured into the Ptolomean wilds. House Caliburnus was the only society on Ptolomea, due to the absence of sentient beings on the planet's surface. Ptolomea, on the outer reached of the System, was often overlooked when resources were granted by the Clan. Accordingly, Caliburni had learned the importance of being resourceful.

Caliburnus membership, however, took another step beyond being resourceful. The innate desire to excel was simply part of the House Dynamic. The Sith influence on the House certainly accentuated this desire into a near obsession. In lieu of the troubling position the House found themselves in, each member was notoriously relentless and cut-throat. One example of that tenacity was the extraordinarily bold move by then Quaestor [[Thran Occasus]] to build a [[Dynasty Station|Space Outpost]] near Ptolomea to force the clan's out-of-system trade into the hands of House Caliburnus.

Though it would appear that House Caliburnus stood for itself alone, the truth was very far from this. The House of the Sword lived to protect the Clan. Thus, House Caliburnus considered itself the bastion of power for [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Before Caliburnus came the Clan and the House took it upon itself to protect its paternal entity. If one were to ask a member of House Caliburnus the meaning of the Clan emblem, the member would certainly comment on the frontal placement of the sword within the emblem. Pride for the clan was amplified through pride for the House, making a member of House Caliburnus a fanatical follower when the Clan was challenged. That natural die-hard mentality was one of the biggest contribution factor to the resurrection of House Caliburnus in the pride war with House Dorimad Sol, attributing the title of Defender of Clan Scholae Palatinae. This mentality did come across as stubborn, but what could be expected of a House of Sith?

Training regiments werea part of everyday life on Ptolomea, much like the Mandalorians from the Mandalorian Wars. However, the House did not restrict itself to military training alone. House Caliburnus attempt to diversify to the best of its ability, allowing members to excel in all fields of study. Though the House tended to exceed normal skill levels in particular fields. These fields were Piloting, Alchemy, Sciences, as well as many others. Training in the ways of the Force, Political Sciences, Philosophy, and other fields were also an integral part of the Caliburnus way of life.

As displayed perfectly by the House Motto “Passion, Power, Knowledge”, House Caliburnus resembled these qualities by pursuing them in every aspect of life. Commonly known as the Pillars of Caliburnus, those three aspects of the House were essential to the societal values as exemplified in the House Doctrine. With that, Discipline was important to the House. Discipline and responsibility brought the House closer and more focus on the ultimate goal of “Best in CSP”. The House breeded strong leadership, action, potential, and pride through the mind frame established in the Pillars of Caliburnus.

=== House Actions/Reactions ===
'''Actions'''
Due in part to its introversion and self-preservation needs, House Caliburnus' actions were always in its own benefit. The House rarely stirred conflict, but was quick to join a Clan Crusade. When placed in the heat of battle, House Caliburnus would take whatever action was necessary to obliterate their opponents. Self Improvement was the ultimate goal of the House, thus pressing conflict was not in the aim of the House or it's leadership.

'''Reactions'''
The House is quick to react to any and all forward attacks. When reacting, Caliburnus has been know to exceed the normal boundaries for labeling a victory. Pride is so crucial, attacking the House is seen as an audacious display of idiocy. Accordingly, the strong Sith presence in the House often calls for the total elimination of any enemy.

'''Rivals'''

House Caliburnus had a minimal rivalry with House Acclivis Draco, but usually had a steamy rivalry with House Dorimand Sol.

House Oriens Obscurum of Clan Arcona (now closed), House Exar Kun of Plagueis, House Marka Ragnos of Naga Sadow, among many others had also made their way into the distinguished Rival's category.

'''Enemies'''

The House had declared no Formal Enemies at this time.

'''Allies'''

As Isolationists, The House's allegiances lied with the Clan. Should the Clan call upon Caliburnus to defend House Acclivis Draco, they would be called allies with certainty. However, the competitive nature between them put House Acclivis Draco close to the Rivals grouping.

=== Government ===
Totalitarianism under the Quaestor was the preferred method of governmental rule on Ptolomea. As the population lied under the two subcategories of House membership or Militiamen, the Quaestor was the end-all of the political system. Benevolence and House interest were always at the mind of the Quaestor, but when those were not enough to keep the leader in check, Ptolomea fell directly under the reign of the Emperor. Accordingly, the governmental body of Ptolomea followrd the will of the Emperor and thus the Clan. The totalitarian nature of the government was based solely upon the population, should colonization occur, the governmental style would likely deviate from that course.

=== Economy ===
'''Imports'''

Ptolomea must have imported almost everything, as the planet's surface had negligible industry beyond the gates of the House Caliburnus compound. For the menial fee of shipping and sorting imports to the system, House Caliburnus got a slight discount on tariffs. The Space Station established by Thran Occasus aided in the distribution of goods around the Cocytus System.

'''Exports'''

Just as House Caliburnus imported everything, there were no exports managed by the House. The House strictly relied on the Clan for all goods, thus building the relationship between the two even farther.

=== Holidays and Festivals ===
'''Caliburnus Air Show'''

Established by Quaestor Thran Occasus, the Caliburnus airshow was a tour de force showcasing the clan's fighter prowess. Over the Caliburnus Headquarters, nearly 100 fighters and many other vessels displayed their abilities. A crowd favorite was the mock dog-fights, where clan fighters engaged each other in a heated and choreographed dogfight. Aerial acrobatics and displays of speed were particularly intriguing for many as well. The Black Aces, a squadron of TIE Defenders, often amazed the crowds with their machines.

'''Quaestor's Gala'''

Another event established by Quaestor Thran Occasus, the Gala was a black tie event which takes place at the Caliburnus headquarters. Proclaimed as the Best party this side of Antei, the Quaestor's Gala was open to all members of Clan Scholae Palatinae. The evening began with a tour of the Facility, in order to show off what the leadership of the House had accomplished. As the evening progresses, live music and a full 5 course meal were presented. As the meal winded down, the liquor began to flow. Into the we hours of the next morning, the Clan drank and celebrated in honor of House Caliburnus.

'''Day of Warriors'''

The Day of Warriors was the only day in the standard year that permitted the Caliburni to forgo their daily training regiment. Roughly a day of leisure, that day commemorated the Founding of the House. On that day, the Quaestor prepared a large meal of barbecued meats among many other dishes by hand for the entire house. Fireworks illuminated the sky by night, in remembrance of all the fallen warriors the Clan had seen.

'''Day of the Fox'''

The Day of the Fox commemorated the Exodus from the Emperor's Hammer. It was tradition to celebrate that day. Often the event was punctuated by a large tournament. House Caliburnus often showcased it's best assets on this day, hoping to claim the events for CSP.

'''Kaeth Karnival'''

This weekend long carnival had been created by Quaestor Thran Occasus in mocking of the then Consul, Braecen Kaeth. Though the Consul had not happy with the creation of the event, its popularity gad made eliminating it a difficult task. The Grounds of the House Caliburnus Headquarters filled with vendors and many fun activities, sponsored by the House. One tradition of that festival was the “Dunk your Quaestor!” Event. On the First annual event, a line of nearly 200 people formed to dunk then Quaestor Thran Occasus. Another popular event was the Pie Throwing contest, where members of the house could place bets on the “ponies” of the event. In the first year, then Proconsul Phoenix Palpatine claimed a prestigious 2nd place in a surprising victory by Cethgus. Phoenix had made it to the final round, but he was disqualified for removing his clothing and was declared unfit to continue. As usual, heavy drinking was involved in this holiday.

== Ptolomea ==
:''Main article: [[Ptolomea]]
''
'''Size:''' 16,000 km

'''Distance from star:''' 984 million km

'''Atmosphere / AET: Roughly standard, though with substantially higher oxygen content.''' 37

Alberigo had no atmosphere. - 32
Zanche had an almost 100% oxygen atmosphere. 240

'''General appearance:''' Heavily Jungle, with temperate zones close to the fairly small poles.

Alberigo was a dead rock. Zanche was a moon-wide fire storm, as a result of a stray star craft igniting the atmosphere. The pure oxygen atmosphere sustained the fire, which did produce a source of energy.

'''Any other life-forms:''' Nearly standard life spread, though with a seeming over abundance of fish and small marine life (no larger marine mammals), and a rather conspicuous lack of insects. No known sentient beings.

'''Other information:''' In the same way that the moon of Ugolino over Antenora caused two period of darkness, the moon of Zanche over Ptolomea caused strange night time / daytime effects. Depending on the location on the planet, the location of the moon could cause a variety of effects - a period of brightness during the normal night cycle, an extra bright period during the normal daytime, or at certain times of the lunar period, complete brightness for full days at a time. The light given off by Zanche wasn't as bright as the light from the Cocytus, but the sometimes 'never-ending light' periods had been know to cause insomnia and madness. Scientists assumed that the lack of insects is down to the fact that they all became extinct since the accident on Zanche, being unable to adapt to the variations in night and day.

Caliburnus had been placed on this planet to act as the primary defenses for the Clan's system, and as such there were House bases on the moon of Alberigo.

=== Points of Interest and Landmarks ===
* Caliburnus Headquarters
* Tree of Lost Souls
* Potentia Gorge
* Abandoned Temple
* Alberigo Outpost
* Dynasty Station
* Blood Forest
* Krayt Corpse
[[File:Ptolomeamap2.gif|thumb|180px|left|The Planet Ptolomea.]]

=== Potentia Gorge ===
This landmark appeared as a giant slash carved in the world by a hungry river. It was on the larger of the continents and possessed many beautiful vistas. The canyon was deep and the terrain was rugged. The river running through the gorge was called The Dar Zhu River. Also the highest region within the canyon was called Tenato Mountain, which towered to an elevation of 14,567 feet above sea level.

=== Temple of Caliburnus ===
A Gigantic temple complex where many mysterious events surrounded the resting place of the weapon [[Caliburnus#Description_of_the_weapon_Caliburnus]]

=== Blood Forest ===
The Area surrounding the temple, where many lives had come but few had left. The forest stinked of death and was difficult to transverse.

=== Tree of Lost Souls ===
This large gnarled tree bore only one flower. The Dark Side was rich within this ancient vessel, which had been known to bleed. When around the tree, unwise souls lost the ability to speak.

=== Alberigo Outpost ===
A nearly abandoned outpost on the Moon of Ptolomea. It had been years since the House had had an active presence there.

=== Phyle Training Facilities ===
On a small island chain, the House's Battleteams had set up a top secret training facility. Few ever ventured there, and even fewer actually knew where it is.

=== Dynasty Station ===
The Space outpost established by Quaestor Thran Occasus. This Defense Terminal was one of the prides of House Caliburnus and was spoken of fondly by its creator, the Quaestor. The station itself was a rather dull place, but did see many different traders and interesting space captains. A mayor of the Station had yet to be appointed, but would likely have some tie to the royal family.

== Military ==
As could be expected of the Sith, Caliburnus kept a large and well trained militia to defend themselves from any enemy bold enough to attack.

=== Legions of Caliburnus ===
The Legions of Caliburnus were divided into the Caliburnus Defense Regiment. This force of Troops was stationed near the House Caliburnus headquarters and was frequently involved in many projects. The House tended to use the engineers and construction teams to help forward such matters. Each Legion reported to the Surface Marshall, or Quaestor, but would often take orders from the Aedile as well.

=== Bastion Regiment ===

=== Caliburnus TIE Contingent ===
As the Sith arm of Clan Scholae Palatinae, House Caliburnus took extreme pride in its pilots and starfighters. House Caliburnus was lead by the most fearsome pilot the Clan had to offer, Thran Occasus, and thus the TIE Corp. It played a large role in House Caliburnus' military power. Occasus, who is renowned for his tenacity and bold moves in a starfighter, is the High Admiral of the Scholae Palatinae TIE Fighter Corps. With the recent construction of a Space Outpost, House Caliburnus had taken another step towards total dominance of the heavens in the Cocytus System. Routine Training and circulation of fighter squadrons was a common occurrence in the system, allowing CSP to gain the best training available. Three Squadrons remained on post at all times, usually the Grim Reaper Wing of the Starblade Division.

The Starblade Division was stationed at the QX- 2 Space Platform “Dynasty Station”. This Outpost functioned as a trading hub for activities inside the sector as well as a training facility for members of the TIE Contingent. Dynasty station bolstered a crew of 1,120 souls. This station was new to the region and more details about it were sure to build with time.

'''Imperial Scholae Intelligence''' (ISI), is the central intelligence service of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. It is dedicated to collecting information and carrying out covert operations. It is responsible for watching all activities of the various planetary governments, corporations and other entities within the [[Caperion System]] and as necessary the greater galaxy. As well, it monitors all impacting mercenary, bounty hunter and other illegal activities.

== History ==
The Imperial Scholae Intelligence, founded in [[30_ABY_to_39_ABY|33 ABY]] by [[Kell Dante]] and [[Impetus M'Nar]], was created to fill the void of Internal Security, an area that the clan had neglected for years. With widespread changes across the [[Clan]] rising from its downsize into a [[House]], innovations and changes to the new house’s structure were so common it seemed a natural time to introduce another new system, the Imperial Scholae Intelligence, or ISI.

The ISI, originally separate from the military, would focus almost exclusively on the internal and external protection of the clan. Dante hired Impetus for the task of building the force shortly after her return from [[Plagueis]], given her intimate knowledge of the [[Clan|Clan’s]] system, long history in Special Operations and Intelligence, and being a famous name across [[Cocytus System|Cocytus]], she was the obvious and ideal choice. Impetus and Dante quickly assessed the required funding and drainage on the house’s resources and come together with a plan that would minimize the security problems that threatened the house both internally and externally.

As the ISI continued to grow and show continued success in their original mission, it was called on again to grow and expand to take on a larger role. It was moved under the umbrella of the [[Scholae Palatinae Military]] and took on an expanded role of Military Intelligence. As part of this realignment a Directorate was formed to run the group with a public Director at the head, while the Tempest Division joined the group as the strong operational arm of the ISI with the Emperor's Hand at the helm. Caliburnus was also pulled in to participate at a high level where the Force was involved. This new organization could now carry out critical operations as needed by [[Scholae Palatinae]] and given its new structure directly tie into [[Special Operations Command]] within the [[Imperial Scholae Guard]].

In 35 ABY, the Imperial Scholae Intelligence has suffered significant loses due to the attack ordered by the [[Grand Master]]. Most of operatives that acted in the [[Cocytus System]] have been killed, spreading ISI resources thin and forcing it to recall some of its operatives from other areas in the Galaxy to be temporarily stationed at IMS Tipoca, so they could reinforce the remaining internal agents in their quest to find and purge any hostile agents that could infiltrate the refugees from the [[Cocytus System]].

Later, after conquering the Caelestis City on [[Ragnath]], the moon of [[Seraph]], the Imperial Scholae Intelligence has established its primary base of operations near the headquarters of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Now, as the conflict with the Meraxis Empire continues, the primary task of the ISI is to protect the Imperial Clan from spies and traitors and to provide intel data that is necessary to effectively wage the war against the Meraxis Empire and to secure new homeworld for [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].

== Deployment & Garrison ==

Headquarters of the ISI are in the Caelestis City on [[Ragnath]] near the headquarters of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. While the location serves as the primary address for the group in reality they are spread out across the system and galaxy. In addition many of the locations of various units varies or is actually stationed within the ships of the [[The Fleet of Scholae Palatinae|fleet]].

== Command ==

The highest level of command over Imperial Scholae Intelligence is a group known as the Directorate. Membership within this group is made up of seven members including the Director of ISI, heads of the three Divisions, the [[starwars:Emperor's Hand|Emperor's Hand]], the [[Battle Team]] Leader of [[Pellaeon]], and an unknown designee by the Emperor.

The Directorate will oversee all activities of the ISI, formulating strategies and aligning goals and moving the organization in the right direction. However, the Director of ISI is the public figure at the head, while the rest operate in relative secrecy and do not attend gatherings on behalf of the organization.

=== Directorate ===
* Director of ISI Jaina Azrah
* Chief of Internal Affairs
* Chief of Analysis
* Chief of Operations
* Emperor's Hand [[Rayne Victae]]
* Commander Major [[Wagglehorn]]
* Unknown Designee of the Emperor

=== Intelligence Officers ===

All members of Imperial Scholae Intelligence are commissioned officers as part of the military, however they do not follow the normal rankings of the other units. Each respective Division has a set of ranks that clearly relates to their level of access to classified information and autonomy in how they operate given the relative level of trust placed upon them.

==== Internal Division ====

All members of the Internal Division fall under the title of Agent under both the Investigation and Counterintelligence Branches. If necessary new members will start out as a Junior Agent while they complete necessary training but the majority of members will hold the rank of Agent. The most experienced of these Agents will find themselves promoted to Senior Agent, mentors to other Agents and sent on more difficult missions that require their level of expertise. A small set of the best of these Agents will become Special Agents. Given access to the most classified and critical of operations. They are the most trusted and skilled individuals within the Internal Division.

==== Analysis Division ====

A majority of the Analysis Division hold the rank of Analyst. They gather and analyze data and are the main driving work force behind the knowledge and data of the entire division. Specialized and unique in their given tasks they are good at what they do, crunching numbers. With more experience and skills, the next level are Senior Analysts. They have access to more classified information and allowing more analysis across sets of data and work with more time sensitive and critical operations and trends. A select few of the best will find themselves as Watchers. They are given access to all levels of secure data of ISI and directly support Agents and Operatives in the field and are among some of the best and most trusted individuals.

==== Operations Division ====

Members of the Operations Division are collectively known as Operatives, however specific titles designate the type of work and level of skills. The lowest of these is informant, taking the most basic of missions and taking new identities and collecting information. Specialized and more technical of these will become Fixers, with a specialized technical skill in the field required to slice or apply scientific knowledge to collect information at a higher level. The best and most skilled of these individuals will become Ciphers. With a high level of autonomy and combat skills, Ciphers are dangerous and critical to ISI operations. Completely given over to the ISI are the Keepers at the top of Operations. These individuals know some of the deepest secrets are the most deadly in all of the ISI with direct access at all times to the Watchers of the Analysis Division.

== Structure ==
[[File:ISI_Units.jpg|thumb|200px|right]]
The Imperial Scholae Intelligence is split into four separate Divisions along with the support of [[Pellaeon]]. The Internal Division protects the military and ISI itself as well as the [[Caperion System]] from all threats. Supporting these activities is the Analysis Division that uses every method possible to collect any and all types of data. Analysis works with the Operations Division that helps to collect this information and carries out individual operations in support of the goals. To carry out necessary covert operations and missions is the Tempest Division along with [[Battle Team]] [[Pellaneon]] as necessary for activities related to [[starwars:the Force|the Force]].

=== Internal Division ===
The Internal Division is made up two elements, the Investigation and Counterintelligence Branches. Together these two branches handle internal affairs while also looking to prevent external affairs from having a negative impact internally. As well as special teams directly looking to protect the integrity and stability of the entire Scholae Palatinae Military, especially the ISI.

==== Investigation Branch ====
Agents of the Investigation Branch primarily enforce the laws of the [[Caperion System]] and through forensics and investigation look to resolve cases. They track mercenaries and bounty hunters while they are present in the system and look to keep tabs on all illegal activity going on in the system. The investigation into these individuals they are tracking are directly tied into the efforts of the Analysis Division. This group also monitors organized crime in the area keeping tabs on everything and maintaining loose relationships with them.

==== Counterintelligence Branch ====
Agents of the Counterintelligence Branch are primarily concerned with the security of the [[Caperion System]]. Protecting from espionage, sabotage, assassinations and terrorist activities that seek to destabilize the region.

=== Analysis Division ===
Large amounts of data gathering. Collecting information, hacking, decrypting, interrogating, public news networks, surveillance, etc.
* Cyber Security: Not falling into any particular category, the ISI’s Cyber Security tirelessly monitors data communication. Their numbers large and their methods efficient, these computer scientists monitor everything from short distance to long distance communication, picking up on organised crime before it happens, and intercepting enemy signals for decoding.
* Espionage and Reconnaissance: A simple task in writing, this division’s purpose is simply to provide information on what Scholae Palatinae’s rivals are doing. Exploring unknown territory, gauging enemy strength, and compiling information and schematics on key enemy locations, this division is essential support for the entire External Affairs Directorate.

=== Operations Division ===
To help collect more information, get deep inside. Where the actual spies and agents are. Infiltration, Surveillance, monitoring, sneaky stuff.

=== Tempest Division ===
* Lethal Ops: This division is the ISI’s assassin network. Sometimes people just need to be killed. The entry criteria for this division is extremely high, and its members diverse, from highly competent marksmen in camouflage to the seductresses with a hidden blade. The main target for this division are high profile enemy names, from suppliers to commanders.
Led by the Emperor's Hand
The head of the Tempest Division within Imperial Scholae Intelligence is the [[starwars:Emperor's Hand|Emperor's Hand]]. Though the Tempest Division itself falls directly under the command of the ISI, this unique position answers only to the Emperor. Handling certain highly sensitive and classified assassination missions or other covert operations as necessary.
Assassination, Desbilization, Counter-intelligence, dealing directly with Jedi and other special cases. Actively seeks new Dark Jedi.

*1 squad bugcrunchers
*3 squads noghri
*2 platoons of medics
*2 double platoons of scouts
*1 platoon of engineers
*5 platoons of snipers

===Pellaeon===

[[Battleteam]] [[Pellaeon]] is the elite black-op unit that consists of various members, including both mundane, but excellent operatives that are highly-trained and experienced specialists in their specific roles, and the Force-sensitive members. They are called in any case that may require efficient actions, which are beyond the capacity of the ISI. While they report directly to the [[Quaestor]] of [[House Imperium]] and the [[Consul]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]], who is also the Emperor, they carry out some top secret missions for the ISI as necessary. They have full access to data and resources available to the ISI at discretion of their Commander.

===Excidium===

[[House Excidium]] works outside the boundaries of any official structure and organization of the Imperial Scholae Intelligence. In the contrary to [[Battleteam]] [[Pellaeon]], [[Excidium]] does not have any official ties to the ISI nor it recognizes the authority of the Directorate. However, as the [[House]] specializes, among other illegal and unofficial operations, in espionage and assassinations, and it does not work as an official part of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]], it is sometimes hired to conduct classified operations that shall never be tied to the Empire due to various reasons, for instance in order to avoid diplomatic repercussions of murdering an official of a temporary ally of the Empire. While [[House Excidium]] is given full access to the resources of the ISI as necessary, its members usually prefer to utilize unofficial channels of their own to obtain required intel data or to reach the location they are needed at.

Xantros

2015-10-11T09:52:57Z

Xantros:

Xantros is a male Duro Jedi, member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and a a former officer of the Emperor's Hammer, in which he served as a Stormtrooper and a Dark Jedi. Xantros resides as a member of the Consular Order and is devoted to studying the ways of the Force. With no family and most of his old friends dead, Xantros is a dedicated member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He currently holds the rank of Consular Seer and is a regular member of the only Light Side House of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, House Odan-Urr.

=Character History=

Xantros was born and raised in a rich family, living on one of the orbital stations over planet Duro. His childhood was rather a calm one, until , his families sudden disappearance, leaving him alone. It happened when he was twelve years old. Since then, he was forced to take care of himself on his own, forging his strong personality and teaching him how to be independent. In addition, true wanderlust was awakened in his soul at that time, as he was not able to find a place for himself on the stations orbiting Duro. From the on, he could not wait to reach adulthood, which would then allow him to leave and be free of the station..

==Teenage times==

Xantros was a gifted student, who learned quickly, as such he graduated from the high school with ease, despite the difficult conditions, he lived in. During that period he spent most of his free time t on discovering secrets of the station he lived in, and those of the stations nearby. He was very disappointed, when he discovered that all of them were almost identical.
When he graduated from his high school at the age of eighteen, he was finally allowed to leave the station. He sold all possessions of his family, except a necklace inherited from his mother, when he was five years old. He was told that the necklace had been in his family for five hundred years and it was said to be of great personal value for the family. Each generation told its story to their descendants. In the future, it was one of the stories Xantros told to earn money for a living. Then, he left the station for good and was never to return again. With his leave, he cut off all ties, which bound him with the past.

==Time of travels==

In a period of several years before he joined the Hammer’s Fist, he had visited many different worlds, looking for his family, expanding his knowledge and traveling all over the Galaxy. He was a kind of a free spirit and enjoyed his freedom; not forced to stay in one place, but able to travel wherever he wished.
At the beginning, most visits on new planets were similar. Xantros arrived at a starport and passed through customs. Sometimes, he was asked about the reason of his stay. Many custom officers did not believe him and looked at him in a strange way when he replied that he was going to tell some stories and to listen to new ones, so he could tell them when he would return to previously visited planets. Then, he spent some time in pubs and on public squares, where he could tell the stories, earn some money and gain publicity.
Due to his small famet he was soon noticed by local business class and important figures and was hired to entertain their families, friends and guests during banquets and other official parties. He was also very often asked to write speeches and work over biographies or family histories of important figures. He worked over advertisements for cities and regions as well. Usually, Xantros would spend several months on one planet.

Thanks to all these things, he established connections to local figures and wealthy people. He also managed to earn a small fortune. That was enough for living for some time. However, he enjoyed his job and continued his travels. From time to time, he was invited to revisit some planets. During these visits he told new stories and was often welcomed as a special guest, was offered apartments in the best hotels and a salary, but also was given gifts like good alcohol, clothes and jewelery.

==Hammer’s Fist==

After many years, he decided to join Elite Stormtrooper Legion, Hammer’s Fist. He found it as an opportunity to have great adventures and to learn new things. He knew it would be also great source of information for many stories to be told, when he would retire from active service. In addition to that, he found that the ideals and policy of the Empire were more reasonable and just than the ones of the New Republic. Also, deep beneath his consciousness he was a warrior. That was why he chose to enlist to the Imperial Army. Hammer’s Fist was ideal for his purposes.

After completion of basic Stormtrooper training, he was assigned to the Vengeance Detachment. He steadily advanced in ranks. After some time he was assigned to the position of Team Leader in Vengeance. Later, he was named Vengeance Detachment Commander and then, Vendetta Detachment Commander. He served in these two positions for over a year. Then, he resigned from active service in the Legion. During his career he participated in several large-scale Operations.

His service in the Hammer’s Fist was very beneficial for him. Previously, his fighting abilities were extremely limited. He knew just the basics of self-defence. His training and career as a
Stormtrooper taught him basic skills in self-defence, martial arts and use of weaponry. He also attained some skills regarding tactics and strategy in his later career as a Dark Jedi and during his short tenure as the Prefect of the Hammer’s Fist.

==Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood==

Not very long before his resignation from the service in the Hammer’s Fist, Xantros discovered his Force sensitivity. During an emergency mission on a secret research outpost, known as Nemesis Station, he subconsciously utilized the Force to protect himself against strange creatures, which had attacked the station. It brought the attention of a Dark Jedi, the name of which Xantros could not remember. He joined the Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood and quickly passed core exams. He was assigned to Alatus Phyle, House Dominatus, Clan Alvaak. Several months later, he was appointed to the position of Phyle’s Tetrach. Unfortunately, the Clan he belonged to, was closed and Xantros was transferred to Prophecy Phyle, House Qel-Droma, Clan Arcona. However, he was soon chosen to replace its previous Tetrarch. Later, he steadily advanced in ranks, as he served in the command position of Prophecy Phyle and then, of Dark Orb Phyle.

After several months, in recognition of his experience and dedication, he was assigned to the position of House Qel-Droma Quaestor and elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. In this way, he joined the noble group of Equites of Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood. His service as the Quaestor (and than as a Dux) lasted for almost two years, before he stepped down from this position. During that time, he managed to make Qel-Droma a stable unit. After a year of service, he was promoted to the rank of Krath Priest, as he turned out to be solid and dedicated leader who survived three Consuls in this position. In the last five months of leadership service, he was not really a Quaestor, but Dux of Maelstrom Hetaeria. The position was, however, equivalent to the Quaestor.

In May 26 ABY, Xantros completely resigned from service as a leader and two months later, he decided to leave the Dark Brotherhood for some time. He found out that he was not able to continue his service to the Dark Brotherhood. His zeal had dissipated. He was in need to search for himself. The journey took him three and a half of a months, but was definitely a fruitful and successful one. He not only regained the spirit and the will to serve the Empire and the Dark Brotherhood, but accompanied by his old friend and former Consul, Elwood the Brave, he found a hidden planet, called Dark Sanctuary. The planet was a location of secret base of three ancient Dark Jedi who developed Force powers called the Words of Power.
After the return, Xantros chose Taranis Hetaeria as his new home. It was partially because he was reluctant to return to people of Maelstrom Hetaeria, he somehow failed as a leader. The second reason was the fact that his friend, who had helped him find the Dark Sanctuary was a member of Taranis. Joining together, they made many efforts to convince the leadership of the unit to accept new Force powers, but they finally managed to do so.
In early 27 ABY, there was another restructure. Xantros, as all other Dark Jedi, was assigned to House Drakonan, but refused any command position. He justified it with his will to serve the Dark Brotherhood as a rank member. He believed it would be the best way to be of service to other Dark Jedi. As a Krath, Xantros was assigned to the Dark Wizards Phyle, which was later renamed to Dark Prophets Phyle.

==Fall of the Dark Brotherhood==

“The Dark Council were blind. I am not the one to determine whether it was by their pride or their foolishness, but I can guarantee that the Dark Council did not see what was happening. They claimed everything to be just fine. They refused my offers to help them. Now, the Brotherhood is no longer the Brotherhood. There are no Brethren nor Sisters to continue its noble traditions and history.”
Xantros talking to Czulvang Lah, his friend and former member of EHDB Dark Council

However, despite his efforts, the Dark Brotherhood was slowly decaying and it was in the final stage of its fall. Xantros saw its members dying out one by one and finally, he realized that there was no Dark Brotherhood to serve. There were only few former members of the Dark Brotherhood still to remember its past glory, but there were very few other members. They were not ready or not willing to serve the Empire. The Dark Brotherhood slowly faded out.

It was the end of the Dark Brotherhood. The end, which Xantros predicted in a glimpse of the future provided by the Force. He could only regret that he was not able to fight the New Republic in the ways he used to. He grieved due to the fall of the Dark Brotherhood, but he did not give up. He still had the enemy to defeat. The goal to achieve. He continued his fight against the New Republic, but in a different way.

==Interim==

Though there was no Dark Brotherhood, Xantros remained a Dark Jedi. His knowledge and powers remained completely intact. He was determined to continue his crusade against the New Republic. It had to fall, in order to allow the Empire to once again rule the Galaxy. He believed that only the iron grasp of Imperial military could maintain peace and prosperity in the Galaxy.
Xantros had a long-term plan and abilities to carry his plan on. Thanks to his numerous contacts, the former Krath Priest gathered hundreds of mercenaries and pilots under one banner, in the group known as the Dark Ravens. They under Xantros’ leadership for almost six years and became a serious threat for the New Republic, which was weakened and ruined by the war against Yuuzhan Vong. Dark Ravens were able to deal several serious blows to the New Republic and later to the Galactic Alliance.
Xantros was determined to continue his quest against the New Republic and the Galactic Alliance, because he was driven by a desire to avenge the destruction of his homeworld. While he did not care about his compatriots, he saw it as a personal attack against him. The New Republic did not manage to stop Yuuzhan Vong from terraforming Duro. Certainly, it would be nice to see the planet once again flourishing with life, but not at the cost of destruction nineteen of of twenty orbital cities, including the one which had been Xantros’ childhood home.

==Dark Jedi Brotherhood ==

It was 33 ABY, when Xantros met Dante in one of the casinos on Alassa Major. Dante informed him that there was another Dark Brotherhood, the one which had been referred as Dark Jedi Brotherhood in the past, still out there. It had numerous members and was much stronger than the Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood that Xantros could remember.
Recruited by Dante, Xantros agreed to undergo probationary period that was going to be a test to prove if Xantros was ready to regain the rank of Krath Priest. Assigned to the House Dorimad Sol in Clan Scholae Palatinae, Xantros quickly advanced in ranks, in less than six months becoming a Dark Jedi Knight. As a Protector, Xantros was assigned as the Sith Flight Leader of the Battleteam Blades of Chaos. However, soon after his promotion to the rank of Guardian, Clan Scholae Palatinae, like all other clans, was downsized, due to a decrease in numbers, and was transformed into Independent House Scholae Palatinae. Xantros was transferred from Blades of Chaos to Battleteam Dorimad Sol, named after one of the former Clan’s Houses, where he continued his service to the Dark Brotherhood.

==The Knighthood==

Months of hard work and dedicated service culminated in the result Xantros always dreamed about. In the early days of 34 ABY, he met the obligatory requirements and constructed his own lightsaber,led to his promotion to the honourable rank of the Dark Jedi Knight. He finally became a fully-trained Dark Jedi, and was prepared for the challenges any Knight had to face.
Xantros achieved his goal, but that did not spell the end of his work. Several weeks later, he was entrusted with leading Battleteam Caliburnus. It was a fairly new challenge to the Dark Jedi Knight. Still, he hoped to perform his new duties well. There were multiple projects for the Battleteam that Xantros had to take care of. His goal was to forge Caliburnus into one of the best Battleteams of the Dark Brotherhood.

===Battleteam Leader of Caliburnus===

For 20 months, Xantros served with dedication on the position of the Battleteam Leader of Caliburnus. His tenure was an example of excellent service and hard work. He did his best to alwys be in the front line, along his subordinates, and often risked his life to lead his comrades by example. During his term as the Battleteam Leader, Xantros organized work of Caliburnus by transforming it from ace squadron to intelligence unit. His service earned him two Dark Crosses.

===Magistrate to the Master-At-Arms===

On this auxiliary position, Xantros brought his persistence into the office of the Master-At-Arms. He was extremely zealous in making sure that all awards and promotions for members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood were proceeded in accordance to the laws of the Brotherhood. His service on this position, which lasted for around a year, earned him a Steel Cross.

===Shadow Academy Professor===

Xantros was the Professor in the Writing Department of the Shadow Academy for sixteen months, with a short break. Apart from main duties, such as grading courses in the Department and making sure that they are up-to-date, he brought several suggestions and ideas to the Headmaster. He was consistent in his service in the Shadow Academy, which earned him three Scrolls of Foundation before his leave.

==Becoming an Equite==

It has been definitely a very long time. However, I no longer need to prove myself to be trustworthy enough to become the Krath Priest again, as I am the Krath Priest again. Now, I may continue my Journey to the Pinnacle, while being aware that I seek for greater power than before.
Xantros on his promotion to the rank of Krath Priest

After twenty months of loyal and dedicated service to the House, in the position of Battleteam Leader of Caliburnus, and to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, as the Magistrate to the Master-At-Arms and as a Shadow Academy Professor, Xantros was granted the priviledge of introduction into the Equites. Finally, he had achieved his goal and become a Krath Priest. With eight notable members of his House supporting the recommendation, he was rewarded for what he had done for the House and for the Brotherhood.

Thanks to that, he freed himself from the burden of the past, which made him strive for excellence, in order to prove that he was ready to reclaim the rank and powers, which he had gained in the Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood. Then, he might focus on developing his career with the knowledge that he went on a brand new path. He could now focus on his true dream – to gain access to more mysteries of the Krath Order, increase his power and strengthen his position in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

==Self-exile and return==

“The Dark Side whispers in my dreams. I need to leave you for some time. I need to find out something about me. I need to find out something about the Force. Wait patiently. Sooner or later, I will back. Unless, I am dead.”
Xantros on his departure

In late 35 ABY, just a few weeks after his promotion to the rank of Krath Priest, Xantros decided to take a leave from his service in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He resigned from all of the positions he held – Magistrate to the Master-At-Arms, Shadow Academy Professor and Battleteam Leader of Caliburnus. He also left the territories of the Brotherhood, driven by his extremely strong desire to carry out certain personal studies, which he had been planning for some time already. He wished to learn more about himself and to study the nature of the Force itself, outside the teachings of the Brotherhood.

During his time outside the Brotherhood, Xantros travelled all over the Galaxy. He visited many places beyond the reach of any galactic government, ancient locations where he could find the knowledge and wisdom, which is what he was searching for. However, despite the extensive wealth at his disposal, he realized that he had enough resources to continue his studies sooner than he had ever expected that it would happen. After three months, he contacted Xen’Mordin Vismorsus, the Quaestor of House Scholae Palatinae.

Thanks to his absence during the conflict known as the Plague, Xantros' powers and abilities remained intact. He did not suffer the effects of the Plague, which affected the members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood during the invasion of a former Grand Master, Zoraan. However, the news about the battle against such a terrible enemy made the Krath Priest return to the territories of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and rejoin the ranks of House Scholae Palatinae, in order to lend his abilities to rebuild the House.

After brief discussion with the leader of the Imperial House, Xantros realized that his decision was not an accident. Once again, the Force guided him to make the choice, which would suit both the needs of his unit and himself. He applied for the position of House Aedile, which had been vacant for few weeks after the events known as the Horizon and was appointed almost immediately. A few days after his appointment, the Krath Priest released an internal report about the state of the House and started close co-operation with Xen’Mordin Vismorsus and the newly appointed Rollmaster of the House, Koryn Thraagus, as well as other members of the House, who volunteered to help in the works, which were aimed to lead the Imperial House to the time of its renaissance.

==Aedile of House Scholae Palatinae==

Almost immediately after his return to active service in 36 ABY, Xantros applied for the position of the Aedile of House Scholae Palatinae and was appointed to that position. Since he started fulfilling his new duties, he kept introducing his ideas, like providing a status report, which included his long-term plans for the House and its members. One of his first tasks to carry out was to organize a team to clean the archives of the House, as well as making them more usable for its members.

However, most of his time was consumed by day-to-day management of the House. He used to do everything on his own, as he was a perfectionist and tended to take care of important matters personally. Then, he learnt how to delegate tasks and assign missions to be completed by other Dark Jedi, as he was aware that he could not handle all tasks, which were important for the House, on his own.

During Xantros’ tenure as the Aedile of House Scholae Palatinae, the Imperial Senate was created as a place of debates. The body took an advisory role, instead of having a real power, but was still warmly welcomed as it allowed members of the Imperial House and some chosen citizens to speak their mind.

Xantros also made significant efforts to resurrect the class of the noblemen, who would come from the membership of the Imperial House. In that way, they could be rewarded with suitable awards that were outside the formal gratification system of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The project was continued by the new Aedile of House Scholae Palatinae, Evant Taelyan.

Another project taken up by Xantros was the idea to introduce HSP Paths of Career. He wished to create a learning-friendly environment, which would help members of the Imperial House develop their abilities and learn new skills, which might be useful in making the position of the House stronger.

After the first year of his service as the Aedile of House Scholae Palatinae, the Duro was granted another promotion. He became a Krath Archpriest, as his dedication to the House and the Brotherhood during the Dark Crusade and carrying out other duties as the Aedile brought the attention of the Quaestor of the Imperial House and members of the Dark Council. He achieved a higher status than ever before in his career as the Dark Jedi, as he was allowed to study additional secrets of his Order.

===Service in the Shadow Academy===

Almost immediately after his return to active service in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Xantros was once again appointed on the position of the Professor of the Writing Department. After a year and a half, he got appointed to the position of the Professor of the Leadership Department, which was created on his initiative, in recognition of his efforts to expand the content offered by the Shadow Academy. Due to this fact, he resigned from the Writing Department. As of now, he has earned ten Scrolls of Foundation, which are awarded for service to the Shadow Academy.

==Dark Crusade and Fading Light==

Xantros' tenure came to see the arduous campaign against the forces of the One Sith. During the Dark Crusade, the Dark Jedi Brotherhood managed to conquer much of the One Sith's dominion, including many of the ancient Sith worlds. Xantros was present in about the half of battles on various planets, like Begeren, Bhar Khebba and others. As many other members of the Imperial House and the Brotherhood, Xantros displayed great courage, unshaken loyalty and abilities. However, he had to pay the price of taking part in the constant warfare.

The war effort made Xantros extremely exhausted and tired with the fights. He saw too many deaths and experienced too much violence. Despite the fact that the war was rather beneficial for him, he realized that he could not continue his service to the Imperial House as the Aedile. After a year and a half as the leader of Houe Scholae Palatinae, he was too tired to be an effective leader and to make the House prosper.

Still, the war was not yet finished. The Dark Jedi Brotherhood continued its campaign against the One Sith. Xantros took part in it, but what he did, he did without any zeal. He was fed up with the war.

==Looking Home Campaign==

The campaign against the forces of the One Sith consumed most of the Imperial forces attention. It allowed some of planetary representatives to take over the rule over the planets of Cocytus system. In addition to that, a rebellious group under the leadership of Fias Zhan began to prepare a massive attack against the rightful Emperor.

Alongside other members of House Scholae Palatinae and soldiers of Imperial Army, Xantros fought bravely against the rebels, in order to reclaim full control over Antenora, Caina and Judecca. Though the forces loyal to the rightful Emperor, Xen'Mordin Vismorsus, whole situation pushed the Duro even further toward the decision to leave the House and seek for redemption.

==Great Jedi War XI==

One of the turning points in Xantros' career was the Great Jedi War XI. It shattered the core foundations of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and nearly led to its complete destruction due to the Rite of Immortality. Possible consequences of that damned ritual made the Duro and his companions from House Scholae Palatinae side with the followers of a former Grand Master Jac Cotelin, alongside Clan Taldryan and House Odan-Urr. Their efforts prevented the disaster, but in the outcome of the situation, the Duro turned away from the teachings of the Dark Side, in hope of redeeming himself.

===Red Fury campaign===

Xantros stayed in the Imperial Clan for several weeks. He witnessed its reclanning alongside all other Independent Houses. Soon after, Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Naga Sadow signed a trade agreement to exchange necessary goods, but during the exchange their ships were attacked by a hostile fleet. Joint forces of both Clans quickly retaliated with deadly force. The expedition ended in complete destruction of pirate's base on Atlas moon.

==Seeking redemption==

After the Great Jedi War XI, Xantros realized that the burden of all the death and suffering that he had seen and caused was too heavy for him to carry. The end of the war and lack of action made him overcome by the feeling of guilt for all his crimes. He came to admit that they were caused by his unsatisfied hunger of knowledge and strong desire of power.

After the recent year of constant struggle with his own doubts and fears, he decided to resign from membership in the Imperial Clan. He did not go to any other Clan that followed the teachings of the Dark Side, as he could no longer serve the Dark Side without remorse. However, he could not leave the Dark Jedi Brotherhood without repaying his debts to the weak, persecuted and suffering beings. He decided to work within the ranks of the Brotherhood to redeem his past crimes, as it offered him such an opportunity by the existence of Clan Odan-Urr, which cultivated the traditions of the Jedi.

Despite his long service to the Dark Side, the Jedi of the Clan Odan-Urr decided to accept him in their ranks, as they could sense that he went away from the ways of the Darkness. They were aware that he sought a way to somehow repay his debt to the galactic society and it was the primary reason to allow him to serve in their ranks. Certainly, they did not trust him, at least at the beginning, but they hoped to heal him and help him completely get rid off the taint of the Dark Side.

In return, Xantros did all his best to show his sincere gratitude towards them, as his personality changed much.

==Summary==

Xantros career developed slowly, as he preferred to work behind the scenes and such work was often unnoticed by the wider audience. Still, it had one important, positive aspect. By slowly gaining new positions at a steady tempo allowed the Duro to learn new things and to develop himself. Thanks to that, he was better and better prepared to adjust himself to new situations, circumstances and expectations. That was why, Xantros did not try to speed up his career, as he was aware that he would learn what he needed and would get promoted, when the most suitable time would came. And then, he would be well-prepared to fulfill new duties.

==Personality and traits ==

Before the conversion to the teachings of the Jedi, Xantros was a completely different person than he was later.

Xantros was amazingly brave as for a Duro. He was also very honorable and proud. He was recognized by some as a loyal friend, though it was very hard to become his friend. Still, when someone earned his friendship, Xantros was ready to sacrifice his life for that person.

Xantros displayed a very specific philosophy of life. He was quite a lonely person, who tended to avoid any close relationship with any other being. However, he made few allies among members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Among notable allies of the Duro, there are:
*Guardian Duelist Mar Sûl
*Consular Chronicler A'lora Kituri

All of these relationship were based merely on people’s position, as these members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood might turn out to be helpful in development of his own career. His only true friend, Akatsuki Tamalar, some time after the attack on Antei, launched by one of the former Grand Masters. No one else managed to gain his trust.

Still, Xantros was a loyal friend, if one managed to gain his trust. He could risk his own life to save people, whom he valued and would do his best to rescue valuable people, who might turn out resourceful for him.

On the other hand, the Duro always calculated the risk before he would get involved into any mission, at least, when he had a choice. He always reviewed possible scenarios, benefits and loses. He always tried to adjust his plans to ensure the most positive outcome.

Each time, when it came to realization of his plans, Xantros was capable of sacrificing other beings, if only it was more beneficial than keeping them alive. However, he always tried to limit casualties among his allies, as he believed that winning a war was far more important than winning a battle. Thus, Xantros tended to be extremely cautious most of the time. Sometimes, he was even a bit paranoid, when it came to security measures and picking up members for missions. Still, he remained alive and rather healthy for all the years of his adventurous and dangerous life.

His caution was closely tied to his way of thinking and acting. Xantros preferred to come up with detailed plans, rather than to improvise. However, he understood that not all details and scenarios might be included even in the most thorough plans. Thus, the Duro did not hesitate to adjust his plans, if it was necessary to achieve the goals of a missionshe took part in.

Years of training and utilizing Makashi lightsaber form had heavily influenced Xantros way of fighting, both at a one-to-one level and during large scale battles, even though he was not a specialist in space battles. He always sought for any possible weaknesses of his enemies, which might utilized against his opponents. He often avoided any direct fight, until he learnt how to defeat his opponents. As a careful and intelligent observer, he was usually capable of coming up with a suitable plan relatively quickly.

During fights, Xantros relied on his abilities to use the Force, as his physical abilities were mediocre and he could not base the victories on his physical prowess. His overvation abilities allowed him to utilize parts of the environment, like small items, against hostile combatants. He would not miss any chance to weaken or distract his opponents, in order to ensure an ultimate victory in a duel, a battle or a war. Despite being a rather lawful character, Xantros does not hesitate to use any trick to cheat his enemies or any third parties, which might be involved in a situation.

Xantros preferred to work behind the scenes, pulling the strings and remaining in the shadows himself. He was very manipulative and tended to lie or, at least, hide inconvenient details and parts of truth, in order to convince people, who were useful for him, to help him. He made good use of his charisma, playing on people’s feelings, pride, courage, fear and any other features of personality.

It was not an uncommon thing to see Xantros speaking his way past bureaucrats and guards, who were tasked with keeping people like him away from reaching various places or people. These skills allowed him to avoid unnecessary fights or casualties and to achieve his own goals without extremely high risk. In that way, he might not reveal his true identity to the beings, who did not need to know it.

Xantros was always hungry for knowledge and he used any opportunity to learn. On the other hand, sometimes it made him react rashly. He expected that other people would value knowledge and wisdom as he did. If someone ignored necessary knowledge or behaved like a fool, Xantros tended to point that out, often in a harsh manner and with no concern for the dignity or rank of his interlocutor.

However, he was usually a kind and well-mannered person. He only used the force when it was absolutely necessary, preferring to find more subtle ways of dealing with problems. He called his philosophy “Way of Wise Warrior”, as he always tried to avoid unnecessary risk.

Xantros usually deeply analyzed situations before making a decision. It made him valued adviser to anyone who wished to listen to his words. However, when he lacked time to think, he heavily relied on his feelings and made only draft plans.

Though Xantros was a Duro, he managed to overcome characteristic to his race limits in fighting. He still found it a bit harder to learn new fighting styles, but no longer hesitated to fight, if it was necessary.

===After the revelation===

Under the influence of his own experiences and the teachings of the Jedi, Xantros became a completely different being in regards to his personality.
Since then, he has become a very empathic and sympathetic person. He could easily understand the situation of other people and their feelings. Whatever he learnt about other beings often resulted in his sympathy, instead of condemnation. As a result of this change, he always saw the best characteristics of a being and believed that everyone deserved a second chance to live their lives in a better way. Though he understood the need to punish crimes and accepted such necessity, he was also a very merciful person and was able to forgive all crimes, if a culprit showed repentance.

His newly discovered respect for the sanctity of life made him value every life in any form. Thus, he was always willing to heal any wounded or ill being, both sentient beings and animals. The respect for life and seeing too much death made Xantros refuse to harm anyone. He decided never to take direct part in any fight, in order to avoid any situation, which would lead to making someone wounded or to kill someone. Instead, he preferred to use illusions and mind tricks, in order to fool his enemies into ignoring him and his allies.

He also made good use of his intellect, perception and investigative abilities to find ways that would allow him to achieve any goal without causing casualties. Choosing not to fight, Xantros willingly served as an advisor to the leaders and commanders, whom he might be assigned to, and as a healer, if necessary. He also never made a distinction between an ally and an enemy, using his skills, abilities and powers to help all suffering beings equally.

Leaving anger and hatred behind, Xantros became a very calm person. He was quite friendly, though he found it very hard to show any positive feelings as well. The nightmare of the war and the remnants of his old attitude towards people, which based on using them for his own purpose, made it hard to establish any permanent attachments with other beings. He still had to cope with his burden.

In fact, he did not seek any company. He spent much of his time meditating away from settlements or on off-world missions, still searching for a new home, like a pilgrim. He preferred to be alone, as he felt it inappropriate to spend time with people, whom he had fought before his conversion. If he appeared among people, he was usually seen helping those in need. He saw it as a way to redeem his past crimes.

However, he stills feels the hunger of knowledge. He uses every opportunity to learn new things, though it is now limited with the good of his allies. He will never put a chance to expand his knowledge over the life of his allies or the success of a mission and is aware that his desire to learn new things might have brought tough consequences to his former allies on a number of occasions, so he avoids such situations.

Despite deciding never to get directly involved into fights, Xantros remains a decent strategist and tactician. He pays a lot of attention to details of his plans, in order to avoid missing something important, though he is aware that all scenarios cannot be predicted. In his plans, he always bases them on the founding rule to avoid any casualties, particularly among his allies.
Description

Xantros was a typical Duro. He was 1.9 meters tall. He had green skin and red eyes. He had no visible nose or ears, which made him look a little bit creepy, especially, when he came out of a cloud of steam, fog or any other gas.

It was clearly visible that Xantros kept his body in shape, but that he did not pay much attention to the physical development. He only maintained average fitness and focused on the development of his Force abilities, which remained unseen to non-Force-sensitive beings and provided him an advantage over many of his enemies.

Several scars on his chest, arms and face suggested that Xantros participated in numerous battles and dangerous missions. They were one of the reasons for Xantros to be proud of his courage and dedication to the Final Way, as he did not hesitate to go into the battle, if it only served the purposes of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and of his own.

Usually, Xantros wore robes, which reflected his Order affiliation and main areas of interests. On off-world missions, he wore a black uniform, which allowed him to keep freedom of movement, which was necessary when fighting. He had a belt, where he attached two or three thermal detonators and a blaster pistol. In an inner pocked he kept his lightsaber. Still the weapon was easily accessible so that the Duro did not have to waste time for searching for it when he was in battle. Comfort was the main aspect which Xantros took under the consideration, when he made decisions on clothes for any given situation.

==Lightsaber==

The Lightsaber was Xantros’ main and most favourite type of weapon. Throughout the years of his service in the Emperor’s Hammer, he utilized a lightsaber with purple blade, which was surrounded with slight silver aura. The effect was caused by putting two focusing crystals into the lightsaber hilt – an artificially created purple crystal and a durandfire gem. However, that lightsaber was destroyed during a period between resignation from the service in the Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood and joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, when Xantros was actively fighting against the Galactic Alliance and leading his own group of mercenaries and pilots.

At the beginning of his service in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Xantros received a training lightsaber. However, he proved himself to be a capable Dark Jedi and thanks to his knowledge and abilities, which he had gained during his service in the Emperor's Hammer Dark Brotherhood, he managed to rise to the rank of the Dark Jedi Knight in few months. Since then, he has had three different lightsabers.

The first of Xantros’ lightsabers in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood was simple and plain. It included an adegan crystal, which he claimed on Ilum. Primarily, it was blue, but due to alchemical treatment, it changed its natural colour to purple. Thanks to that, it emitted purple blade, as a symbol of the Order, which the Duro belonged to. It was a sign that he was a member of the Krath Order and that he was proud, because of that fact.

Several months later, Xantros dismantled the hilt of his first lightsaber and built a new one, which was slightly curved and was shaped to fit its wielders fingers. Due to that, it was far more adjusted to his lightsaber fighting form, Makashi, as it provided him a better and stronger grip, allowing him to strike from unexpected angles. The hilt of his second lightsaber had a somewhat alien appearance and became an easily recognizable part of Xantros' equipment.

After Great Jedi War X, the Dark Council recognized sacrifices and excellent service of the members of the Imperial House and awarded them the right to wield a unit-specific lightsaber. It had simple hilt, which was decorated with the emblem of House Scholae Palatinae. Proud of his membership in that unit, Xantros decided to utilize the newly acquired by the Palatineans lightsaber. In that way, he was able to show his loyalty to his own House and to his own Order at the same time. A Purple blade and stylized hilt had a deep meaning for the Duro, who had slight obsession on symbolic meanings.

Xantros developed skills in two traditional lightsaber forms – Makashi and Soresu. Makashi suited the philosophy of the Duro, who preferred to launch a single, but precise and deadly strike, instead of series of powerful attacks, which would be exhausting and would not guarantee success, as it would require a lot of strength, which Xantros simply did not have. Soresu was Xantros’ reply to the necessity to protect himself from blaster shots. That defensive form provided him necessary abilities to easily defend against ranged attacks. Thanks to such choice of lightsaber forms, Xantros might effectively fight both against other lightsaber users, like the Jedi, and against enemies, who utilize blasters, like mercenaries or soldiers.

However, after his transition, he refuses to use any weapon, including the lightsaber. Due to this fact, he has neglected training in lightsaber combat, so his skills have gradually decreased. When he joined House Odan-Urr, he returned to a simple hilt.
Interesting facts about Xantros' life

Throughout his service in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Xantros held various positions in the structure of the organisation. Not all of these positions were command ones, but they were equally important, as they had great influence on various aspects in the functioning of the Brotherhood.

Xantros' lightsaber has purple blade, as a sign that he belonged to the Krath Order and that he was proud of this fact. However, he considers it now as something hardly more than a symbol of his past as a servant of the Dark Side. He never uses his lightsaber as a weapon, but only as a tool. He is aware that the lightsaber is often enough to avoid fights, as people respect and fear it very much.

Xantros has had two Student so far. The first one was Kazumi Matsumoto. She was a tough one to work with, still the Duro proved his patience to be almost infinite, guiding Kazumi in the ways of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and of the Dark Side. However, she disappeared suddenly one day, just prior to her trials for the Knighthood. Since then, Xantros was looking for a Student, who would meet his expectations, but did not take any other one for a long time. Finally, his old friend from the Emperor’s Hammer, Sam Rajax, reappeared after long hiatus and they decided to get paired in the HSP Master / Student Programme. However, Rajax has also disappeared without a word. Thus, despite being very eager to share his knowledge with other people, he is reluctant to take up a Student anymore.

Xantros was working on an enormous piece of writing, which he titles “Dark Heritage”. Despite doing works over it for two years already, the progress on it remains unknown to other members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, as he does not want them to utilize it without recognition of his merits in the completion of his magnum opus. However, after his conversion to the teachings of the Light Side, Xantros has suspended his work on “Dark Heritage” and focused on a new piece of writing under the title of “Wisdom of the Light”. Still, he uses the knowledge about the Dark Side in his work on “Wisdom of the Light”, as he wants to include warnings about the Dark Side for the future readers of “Wisdom of the Light”.

Xantros

2015-10-11T09:52:30Z

Xantros:

Xantros is a male Duro Jedi, member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and a a former officer of the Emperor's Hammer, in which he served as a Stormtrooper and a Dark Jedi. Xantros resides as a member of the Consular Order and is devoted to studying the ways of the Force. With no family and most of his old friends dead, Xantros is a dedicated member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He currently holds the rank of Consular Seer and is a regular member of the only Light Side House of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, House Odan-Urr.

=Character History=

Xantros was born and raised in a rich family, living on one of the orbital stations over planet Duro. His childhood was rather a calm one, until , his families sudden disappearance, leaving him alone. It happened when he was twelve years old. Since then, he was forced to take care of himself on his own, forging his strong personality and teaching him how to be independent. In addition, true wanderlust was awakened in his soul at that time, as he was not able to find a place for himself on the stations orbiting Duro. From the on, he could not wait to reach adulthood, which would then allow him to leave and be free of the station..

==Teenage times==

Xantros was a gifted student, who learned quickly, as such he graduated from the high school with ease, despite the difficult conditions, he lived in. During that period he spent most of his free time t on discovering secrets of the station he lived in, and those of the stations nearby. He was very disappointed, when he discovered that all of them were almost identical.
When he graduated from his high school at the age of eighteen, he was finally allowed to leave the station. He sold all possessions of his family, except a necklace inherited from his mother, when he was five years old. He was told that the necklace had been in his family for five hundred years and it was said to be of great personal value for the family. Each generation told its story to their descendants. In the future, it was one of the stories Xantros told to earn money for a living. Then, he left the station for good and was never to return again. With his leave, he cut off all ties, which bound him with the past.

==Time of travels===

In a period of several years before he joined the Hammer’s Fist, he had visited many different worlds, looking for his family, expanding his knowledge and traveling all over the Galaxy. He was a kind of a free spirit and enjoyed his freedom; not forced to stay in one place, but able to travel wherever he wished.
At the beginning, most visits on new planets were similar. Xantros arrived at a starport and passed through customs. Sometimes, he was asked about the reason of his stay. Many custom officers did not believe him and looked at him in a strange way when he replied that he was going to tell some stories and to listen to new ones, so he could tell them when he would return to previously visited planets. Then, he spent some time in pubs and on public squares, where he could tell the stories, earn some money and gain publicity.
Due to his small famet he was soon noticed by local business class and important figures and was hired to entertain their families, friends and guests during banquets and other official parties. He was also very often asked to write speeches and work over biographies or family histories of important figures. He worked over advertisements for cities and regions as well. Usually, Xantros would spend several months on one planet.

Thanks to all these things, he established connections to local figures and wealthy people. He also managed to earn a small fortune. That was enough for living for some time. However, he enjoyed his job and continued his travels. From time to time, he was invited to revisit some planets. During these visits he told new stories and was often welcomed as a special guest, was offered apartments in the best hotels and a salary, but also was given gifts like good alcohol, clothes and jewelery.

==Hammer’s Fist==

After many years, he decided to join Elite Stormtrooper Legion, Hammer’s Fist. He found it as an opportunity to have great adventures and to learn new things. He knew it would be also great source of information for many stories to be told, when he would retire from active service. In addition to that, he found that the ideals and policy of the Empire were more reasonable and just than the ones of the New Republic. Also, deep beneath his consciousness he was a warrior. That was why he chose to enlist to the Imperial Army. Hammer’s Fist was ideal for his purposes.

After completion of basic Stormtrooper training, he was assigned to the Vengeance Detachment. He steadily advanced in ranks. After some time he was assigned to the position of Team Leader in Vengeance. Later, he was named Vengeance Detachment Commander and then, Vendetta Detachment Commander. He served in these two positions for over a year. Then, he resigned from active service in the Legion. During his career he participated in several large-scale Operations.

His service in the Hammer’s Fist was very beneficial for him. Previously, his fighting abilities were extremely limited. He knew just the basics of self-defence. His training and career as a
Stormtrooper taught him basic skills in self-defence, martial arts and use of weaponry. He also attained some skills regarding tactics and strategy in his later career as a Dark Jedi and during his short tenure as the Prefect of the Hammer’s Fist.

==Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood==

Not very long before his resignation from the service in the Hammer’s Fist, Xantros discovered his Force sensitivity. During an emergency mission on a secret research outpost, known as Nemesis Station, he subconsciously utilized the Force to protect himself against strange creatures, which had attacked the station. It brought the attention of a Dark Jedi, the name of which Xantros could not remember. He joined the Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood and quickly passed core exams. He was assigned to Alatus Phyle, House Dominatus, Clan Alvaak. Several months later, he was appointed to the position of Phyle’s Tetrach. Unfortunately, the Clan he belonged to, was closed and Xantros was transferred to Prophecy Phyle, House Qel-Droma, Clan Arcona. However, he was soon chosen to replace its previous Tetrarch. Later, he steadily advanced in ranks, as he served in the command position of Prophecy Phyle and then, of Dark Orb Phyle.

After several months, in recognition of his experience and dedication, he was assigned to the position of House Qel-Droma Quaestor and elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. In this way, he joined the noble group of Equites of Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood. His service as the Quaestor (and than as a Dux) lasted for almost two years, before he stepped down from this position. During that time, he managed to make Qel-Droma a stable unit. After a year of service, he was promoted to the rank of Krath Priest, as he turned out to be solid and dedicated leader who survived three Consuls in this position. In the last five months of leadership service, he was not really a Quaestor, but Dux of Maelstrom Hetaeria. The position was, however, equivalent to the Quaestor.

In May 26 ABY, Xantros completely resigned from service as a leader and two months later, he decided to leave the Dark Brotherhood for some time. He found out that he was not able to continue his service to the Dark Brotherhood. His zeal had dissipated. He was in need to search for himself. The journey took him three and a half of a months, but was definitely a fruitful and successful one. He not only regained the spirit and the will to serve the Empire and the Dark Brotherhood, but accompanied by his old friend and former Consul, Elwood the Brave, he found a hidden planet, called Dark Sanctuary. The planet was a location of secret base of three ancient Dark Jedi who developed Force powers called the Words of Power.
After the return, Xantros chose Taranis Hetaeria as his new home. It was partially because he was reluctant to return to people of Maelstrom Hetaeria, he somehow failed as a leader. The second reason was the fact that his friend, who had helped him find the Dark Sanctuary was a member of Taranis. Joining together, they made many efforts to convince the leadership of the unit to accept new Force powers, but they finally managed to do so.
In early 27 ABY, there was another restructure. Xantros, as all other Dark Jedi, was assigned to House Drakonan, but refused any command position. He justified it with his will to serve the Dark Brotherhood as a rank member. He believed it would be the best way to be of service to other Dark Jedi. As a Krath, Xantros was assigned to the Dark Wizards Phyle, which was later renamed to Dark Prophets Phyle.

==Fall of the Dark Brotherhood==

“The Dark Council were blind. I am not the one to determine whether it was by their pride or their foolishness, but I can guarantee that the Dark Council did not see what was happening. They claimed everything to be just fine. They refused my offers to help them. Now, the Brotherhood is no longer the Brotherhood. There are no Brethren nor Sisters to continue its noble traditions and history.”
Xantros talking to Czulvang Lah, his friend and former member of EHDB Dark Council

However, despite his efforts, the Dark Brotherhood was slowly decaying and it was in the final stage of its fall. Xantros saw its members dying out one by one and finally, he realized that there was no Dark Brotherhood to serve. There were only few former members of the Dark Brotherhood still to remember its past glory, but there were very few other members. They were not ready or not willing to serve the Empire. The Dark Brotherhood slowly faded out.

It was the end of the Dark Brotherhood. The end, which Xantros predicted in a glimpse of the future provided by the Force. He could only regret that he was not able to fight the New Republic in the ways he used to. He grieved due to the fall of the Dark Brotherhood, but he did not give up. He still had the enemy to defeat. The goal to achieve. He continued his fight against the New Republic, but in a different way.

==Interim==

Though there was no Dark Brotherhood, Xantros remained a Dark Jedi. His knowledge and powers remained completely intact. He was determined to continue his crusade against the New Republic. It had to fall, in order to allow the Empire to once again rule the Galaxy. He believed that only the iron grasp of Imperial military could maintain peace and prosperity in the Galaxy.
Xantros had a long-term plan and abilities to carry his plan on. Thanks to his numerous contacts, the former Krath Priest gathered hundreds of mercenaries and pilots under one banner, in the group known as the Dark Ravens. They under Xantros’ leadership for almost six years and became a serious threat for the New Republic, which was weakened and ruined by the war against Yuuzhan Vong. Dark Ravens were able to deal several serious blows to the New Republic and later to the Galactic Alliance.
Xantros was determined to continue his quest against the New Republic and the Galactic Alliance, because he was driven by a desire to avenge the destruction of his homeworld. While he did not care about his compatriots, he saw it as a personal attack against him. The New Republic did not manage to stop Yuuzhan Vong from terraforming Duro. Certainly, it would be nice to see the planet once again flourishing with life, but not at the cost of destruction nineteen of of twenty orbital cities, including the one which had been Xantros’ childhood home.

==Dark Jedi Brotherhood ==

It was 33 ABY, when Xantros met Dante in one of the casinos on Alassa Major. Dante informed him that there was another Dark Brotherhood, the one which had been referred as Dark Jedi Brotherhood in the past, still out there. It had numerous members and was much stronger than the Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood that Xantros could remember.
Recruited by Dante, Xantros agreed to undergo probationary period that was going to be a test to prove if Xantros was ready to regain the rank of Krath Priest. Assigned to the House Dorimad Sol in Clan Scholae Palatinae, Xantros quickly advanced in ranks, in less than six months becoming a Dark Jedi Knight. As a Protector, Xantros was assigned as the Sith Flight Leader of the Battleteam Blades of Chaos. However, soon after his promotion to the rank of Guardian, Clan Scholae Palatinae, like all other clans, was downsized, due to a decrease in numbers, and was transformed into Independent House Scholae Palatinae. Xantros was transferred from Blades of Chaos to Battleteam Dorimad Sol, named after one of the former Clan’s Houses, where he continued his service to the Dark Brotherhood.

==The Knighthood==

Months of hard work and dedicated service culminated in the result Xantros always dreamed about. In the early days of 34 ABY, he met the obligatory requirements and constructed his own lightsaber,led to his promotion to the honourable rank of the Dark Jedi Knight. He finally became a fully-trained Dark Jedi, and was prepared for the challenges any Knight had to face.
Xantros achieved his goal, but that did not spell the end of his work. Several weeks later, he was entrusted with leading Battleteam Caliburnus. It was a fairly new challenge to the Dark Jedi Knight. Still, he hoped to perform his new duties well. There were multiple projects for the Battleteam that Xantros had to take care of. His goal was to forge Caliburnus into one of the best Battleteams of the Dark Brotherhood.

===Battleteam Leader of Caliburnus===

For 20 months, Xantros served with dedication on the position of the Battleteam Leader of Caliburnus. His tenure was an example of excellent service and hard work. He did his best to alwys be in the front line, along his subordinates, and often risked his life to lead his comrades by example. During his term as the Battleteam Leader, Xantros organized work of Caliburnus by transforming it from ace squadron to intelligence unit. His service earned him two Dark Crosses.

===Magistrate to the Master-At-Arms===

On this auxiliary position, Xantros brought his persistence into the office of the Master-At-Arms. He was extremely zealous in making sure that all awards and promotions for members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood were proceeded in accordance to the laws of the Brotherhood. His service on this position, which lasted for around a year, earned him a Steel Cross.

===Shadow Academy Professor===

Xantros was the Professor in the Writing Department of the Shadow Academy for sixteen months, with a short break. Apart from main duties, such as grading courses in the Department and making sure that they are up-to-date, he brought several suggestions and ideas to the Headmaster. He was consistent in his service in the Shadow Academy, which earned him three Scrolls of Foundation before his leave.

==Becoming an Equite==

It has been definitely a very long time. However, I no longer need to prove myself to be trustworthy enough to become the Krath Priest again, as I am the Krath Priest again. Now, I may continue my Journey to the Pinnacle, while being aware that I seek for greater power than before.
Xantros on his promotion to the rank of Krath Priest

After twenty months of loyal and dedicated service to the House, in the position of Battleteam Leader of Caliburnus, and to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, as the Magistrate to the Master-At-Arms and as a Shadow Academy Professor, Xantros was granted the priviledge of introduction into the Equites. Finally, he had achieved his goal and become a Krath Priest. With eight notable members of his House supporting the recommendation, he was rewarded for what he had done for the House and for the Brotherhood.

Thanks to that, he freed himself from the burden of the past, which made him strive for excellence, in order to prove that he was ready to reclaim the rank and powers, which he had gained in the Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood. Then, he might focus on developing his career with the knowledge that he went on a brand new path. He could now focus on his true dream – to gain access to more mysteries of the Krath Order, increase his power and strengthen his position in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

==Self-exile and return==

“The Dark Side whispers in my dreams. I need to leave you for some time. I need to find out something about me. I need to find out something about the Force. Wait patiently. Sooner or later, I will back. Unless, I am dead.”
Xantros on his departure

In late 35 ABY, just a few weeks after his promotion to the rank of Krath Priest, Xantros decided to take a leave from his service in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He resigned from all of the positions he held – Magistrate to the Master-At-Arms, Shadow Academy Professor and Battleteam Leader of Caliburnus. He also left the territories of the Brotherhood, driven by his extremely strong desire to carry out certain personal studies, which he had been planning for some time already. He wished to learn more about himself and to study the nature of the Force itself, outside the teachings of the Brotherhood.

During his time outside the Brotherhood, Xantros travelled all over the Galaxy. He visited many places beyond the reach of any galactic government, ancient locations where he could find the knowledge and wisdom, which is what he was searching for. However, despite the extensive wealth at his disposal, he realized that he had enough resources to continue his studies sooner than he had ever expected that it would happen. After three months, he contacted Xen’Mordin Vismorsus, the Quaestor of House Scholae Palatinae.

Thanks to his absence during the conflict known as the Plague, Xantros' powers and abilities remained intact. He did not suffer the effects of the Plague, which affected the members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood during the invasion of a former Grand Master, Zoraan. However, the news about the battle against such a terrible enemy made the Krath Priest return to the territories of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and rejoin the ranks of House Scholae Palatinae, in order to lend his abilities to rebuild the House.

After brief discussion with the leader of the Imperial House, Xantros realized that his decision was not an accident. Once again, the Force guided him to make the choice, which would suit both the needs of his unit and himself. He applied for the position of House Aedile, which had been vacant for few weeks after the events known as the Horizon and was appointed almost immediately. A few days after his appointment, the Krath Priest released an internal report about the state of the House and started close co-operation with Xen’Mordin Vismorsus and the newly appointed Rollmaster of the House, Koryn Thraagus, as well as other members of the House, who volunteered to help in the works, which were aimed to lead the Imperial House to the time of its renaissance.

==Aedile of House Scholae Palatinae==

Almost immediately after his return to active service in 36 ABY, Xantros applied for the position of the Aedile of House Scholae Palatinae and was appointed to that position. Since he started fulfilling his new duties, he kept introducing his ideas, like providing a status report, which included his long-term plans for the House and its members. One of his first tasks to carry out was to organize a team to clean the archives of the House, as well as making them more usable for its members.

However, most of his time was consumed by day-to-day management of the House. He used to do everything on his own, as he was a perfectionist and tended to take care of important matters personally. Then, he learnt how to delegate tasks and assign missions to be completed by other Dark Jedi, as he was aware that he could not handle all tasks, which were important for the House, on his own.

During Xantros’ tenure as the Aedile of House Scholae Palatinae, the Imperial Senate was created as a place of debates. The body took an advisory role, instead of having a real power, but was still warmly welcomed as it allowed members of the Imperial House and some chosen citizens to speak their mind.

Xantros also made significant efforts to resurrect the class of the noblemen, who would come from the membership of the Imperial House. In that way, they could be rewarded with suitable awards that were outside the formal gratification system of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The project was continued by the new Aedile of House Scholae Palatinae, Evant Taelyan.

Another project taken up by Xantros was the idea to introduce HSP Paths of Career. He wished to create a learning-friendly environment, which would help members of the Imperial House develop their abilities and learn new skills, which might be useful in making the position of the House stronger.

After the first year of his service as the Aedile of House Scholae Palatinae, the Duro was granted another promotion. He became a Krath Archpriest, as his dedication to the House and the Brotherhood during the Dark Crusade and carrying out other duties as the Aedile brought the attention of the Quaestor of the Imperial House and members of the Dark Council. He achieved a higher status than ever before in his career as the Dark Jedi, as he was allowed to study additional secrets of his Order.

===Service in the Shadow Academy===

Almost immediately after his return to active service in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Xantros was once again appointed on the position of the Professor of the Writing Department. After a year and a half, he got appointed to the position of the Professor of the Leadership Department, which was created on his initiative, in recognition of his efforts to expand the content offered by the Shadow Academy. Due to this fact, he resigned from the Writing Department. As of now, he has earned ten Scrolls of Foundation, which are awarded for service to the Shadow Academy.

==Dark Crusade and Fading Light==

Xantros' tenure came to see the arduous campaign against the forces of the One Sith. During the Dark Crusade, the Dark Jedi Brotherhood managed to conquer much of the One Sith's dominion, including many of the ancient Sith worlds. Xantros was present in about the half of battles on various planets, like Begeren, Bhar Khebba and others. As many other members of the Imperial House and the Brotherhood, Xantros displayed great courage, unshaken loyalty and abilities. However, he had to pay the price of taking part in the constant warfare.

The war effort made Xantros extremely exhausted and tired with the fights. He saw too many deaths and experienced too much violence. Despite the fact that the war was rather beneficial for him, he realized that he could not continue his service to the Imperial House as the Aedile. After a year and a half as the leader of Houe Scholae Palatinae, he was too tired to be an effective leader and to make the House prosper.

Still, the war was not yet finished. The Dark Jedi Brotherhood continued its campaign against the One Sith. Xantros took part in it, but what he did, he did without any zeal. He was fed up with the war.

==Looking Home Campaign==

The campaign against the forces of the One Sith consumed most of the Imperial forces attention. It allowed some of planetary representatives to take over the rule over the planets of Cocytus system. In addition to that, a rebellious group under the leadership of Fias Zhan began to prepare a massive attack against the rightful Emperor.

Alongside other members of House Scholae Palatinae and soldiers of Imperial Army, Xantros fought bravely against the rebels, in order to reclaim full control over Antenora, Caina and Judecca. Though the forces loyal to the rightful Emperor, Xen'Mordin Vismorsus, whole situation pushed the Duro even further toward the decision to leave the House and seek for redemption.

==Great Jedi War XI==

One of the turning points in Xantros' career was the Great Jedi War XI. It shattered the core foundations of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and nearly led to its complete destruction due to the Rite of Immortality. Possible consequences of that damned ritual made the Duro and his companions from House Scholae Palatinae side with the followers of a former Grand Master Jac Cotelin, alongside Clan Taldryan and House Odan-Urr. Their efforts prevented the disaster, but in the outcome of the situation, the Duro turned away from the teachings of the Dark Side, in hope of redeeming himself.

===Red Fury campaign===

Xantros stayed in the Imperial Clan for several weeks. He witnessed its reclanning alongside all other Independent Houses. Soon after, Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Naga Sadow signed a trade agreement to exchange necessary goods, but during the exchange their ships were attacked by a hostile fleet. Joint forces of both Clans quickly retaliated with deadly force. The expedition ended in complete destruction of pirate's base on Atlas moon.

==Seeking redemption==

After the Great Jedi War XI, Xantros realized that the burden of all the death and suffering that he had seen and caused was too heavy for him to carry. The end of the war and lack of action made him overcome by the feeling of guilt for all his crimes. He came to admit that they were caused by his unsatisfied hunger of knowledge and strong desire of power.

After the recent year of constant struggle with his own doubts and fears, he decided to resign from membership in the Imperial Clan. He did not go to any other Clan that followed the teachings of the Dark Side, as he could no longer serve the Dark Side without remorse. However, he could not leave the Dark Jedi Brotherhood without repaying his debts to the weak, persecuted and suffering beings. He decided to work within the ranks of the Brotherhood to redeem his past crimes, as it offered him such an opportunity by the existence of Clan Odan-Urr, which cultivated the traditions of the Jedi.

Despite his long service to the Dark Side, the Jedi of the Clan Odan-Urr decided to accept him in their ranks, as they could sense that he went away from the ways of the Darkness. They were aware that he sought a way to somehow repay his debt to the galactic society and it was the primary reason to allow him to serve in their ranks. Certainly, they did not trust him, at least at the beginning, but they hoped to heal him and help him completely get rid off the taint of the Dark Side.

In return, Xantros did all his best to show his sincere gratitude towards them, as his personality changed much.

==Summary==

Xantros career developed slowly, as he preferred to work behind the scenes and such work was often unnoticed by the wider audience. Still, it had one important, positive aspect. By slowly gaining new positions at a steady tempo allowed the Duro to learn new things and to develop himself. Thanks to that, he was better and better prepared to adjust himself to new situations, circumstances and expectations. That was why, Xantros did not try to speed up his career, as he was aware that he would learn what he needed and would get promoted, when the most suitable time would came. And then, he would be well-prepared to fulfill new duties.

==Personality and traits ==

Before the conversion to the teachings of the Jedi, Xantros was a completely different person than he was later.

Xantros was amazingly brave as for a Duro. He was also very honorable and proud. He was recognized by some as a loyal friend, though it was very hard to become his friend. Still, when someone earned his friendship, Xantros was ready to sacrifice his life for that person.

Xantros displayed a very specific philosophy of life. He was quite a lonely person, who tended to avoid any close relationship with any other being. However, he made few allies among members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Among notable allies of the Duro, there are:
*Guardian Duelist Mar Sûl
*Consular Chronicler A'lora Kituri

All of these relationship were based merely on people’s position, as these members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood might turn out to be helpful in development of his own career. His only true friend, Akatsuki Tamalar, some time after the attack on Antei, launched by one of the former Grand Masters. No one else managed to gain his trust.

Still, Xantros was a loyal friend, if one managed to gain his trust. He could risk his own life to save people, whom he valued and would do his best to rescue valuable people, who might turn out resourceful for him.

On the other hand, the Duro always calculated the risk before he would get involved into any mission, at least, when he had a choice. He always reviewed possible scenarios, benefits and loses. He always tried to adjust his plans to ensure the most positive outcome.

Each time, when it came to realization of his plans, Xantros was capable of sacrificing other beings, if only it was more beneficial than keeping them alive. However, he always tried to limit casualties among his allies, as he believed that winning a war was far more important than winning a battle. Thus, Xantros tended to be extremely cautious most of the time. Sometimes, he was even a bit paranoid, when it came to security measures and picking up members for missions. Still, he remained alive and rather healthy for all the years of his adventurous and dangerous life.

His caution was closely tied to his way of thinking and acting. Xantros preferred to come up with detailed plans, rather than to improvise. However, he understood that not all details and scenarios might be included even in the most thorough plans. Thus, the Duro did not hesitate to adjust his plans, if it was necessary to achieve the goals of a missionshe took part in.

Years of training and utilizing Makashi lightsaber form had heavily influenced Xantros way of fighting, both at a one-to-one level and during large scale battles, even though he was not a specialist in space battles. He always sought for any possible weaknesses of his enemies, which might utilized against his opponents. He often avoided any direct fight, until he learnt how to defeat his opponents. As a careful and intelligent observer, he was usually capable of coming up with a suitable plan relatively quickly.

During fights, Xantros relied on his abilities to use the Force, as his physical abilities were mediocre and he could not base the victories on his physical prowess. His overvation abilities allowed him to utilize parts of the environment, like small items, against hostile combatants. He would not miss any chance to weaken or distract his opponents, in order to ensure an ultimate victory in a duel, a battle or a war. Despite being a rather lawful character, Xantros does not hesitate to use any trick to cheat his enemies or any third parties, which might be involved in a situation.

Xantros preferred to work behind the scenes, pulling the strings and remaining in the shadows himself. He was very manipulative and tended to lie or, at least, hide inconvenient details and parts of truth, in order to convince people, who were useful for him, to help him. He made good use of his charisma, playing on people’s feelings, pride, courage, fear and any other features of personality.

It was not an uncommon thing to see Xantros speaking his way past bureaucrats and guards, who were tasked with keeping people like him away from reaching various places or people. These skills allowed him to avoid unnecessary fights or casualties and to achieve his own goals without extremely high risk. In that way, he might not reveal his true identity to the beings, who did not need to know it.

Xantros was always hungry for knowledge and he used any opportunity to learn. On the other hand, sometimes it made him react rashly. He expected that other people would value knowledge and wisdom as he did. If someone ignored necessary knowledge or behaved like a fool, Xantros tended to point that out, often in a harsh manner and with no concern for the dignity or rank of his interlocutor.

However, he was usually a kind and well-mannered person. He only used the force when it was absolutely necessary, preferring to find more subtle ways of dealing with problems. He called his philosophy “Way of Wise Warrior”, as he always tried to avoid unnecessary risk.

Xantros usually deeply analyzed situations before making a decision. It made him valued adviser to anyone who wished to listen to his words. However, when he lacked time to think, he heavily relied on his feelings and made only draft plans.

Though Xantros was a Duro, he managed to overcome characteristic to his race limits in fighting. He still found it a bit harder to learn new fighting styles, but no longer hesitated to fight, if it was necessary.

===After the revelation===

Under the influence of his own experiences and the teachings of the Jedi, Xantros became a completely different being in regards to his personality.
Since then, he has become a very empathic and sympathetic person. He could easily understand the situation of other people and their feelings. Whatever he learnt about other beings often resulted in his sympathy, instead of condemnation. As a result of this change, he always saw the best characteristics of a being and believed that everyone deserved a second chance to live their lives in a better way. Though he understood the need to punish crimes and accepted such necessity, he was also a very merciful person and was able to forgive all crimes, if a culprit showed repentance.

His newly discovered respect for the sanctity of life made him value every life in any form. Thus, he was always willing to heal any wounded or ill being, both sentient beings and animals. The respect for life and seeing too much death made Xantros refuse to harm anyone. He decided never to take direct part in any fight, in order to avoid any situation, which would lead to making someone wounded or to kill someone. Instead, he preferred to use illusions and mind tricks, in order to fool his enemies into ignoring him and his allies.

He also made good use of his intellect, perception and investigative abilities to find ways that would allow him to achieve any goal without causing casualties. Choosing not to fight, Xantros willingly served as an advisor to the leaders and commanders, whom he might be assigned to, and as a healer, if necessary. He also never made a distinction between an ally and an enemy, using his skills, abilities and powers to help all suffering beings equally.

Leaving anger and hatred behind, Xantros became a very calm person. He was quite friendly, though he found it very hard to show any positive feelings as well. The nightmare of the war and the remnants of his old attitude towards people, which based on using them for his own purpose, made it hard to establish any permanent attachments with other beings. He still had to cope with his burden.

In fact, he did not seek any company. He spent much of his time meditating away from settlements or on off-world missions, still searching for a new home, like a pilgrim. He preferred to be alone, as he felt it inappropriate to spend time with people, whom he had fought before his conversion. If he appeared among people, he was usually seen helping those in need. He saw it as a way to redeem his past crimes.

However, he stills feels the hunger of knowledge. He uses every opportunity to learn new things, though it is now limited with the good of his allies. He will never put a chance to expand his knowledge over the life of his allies or the success of a mission and is aware that his desire to learn new things might have brought tough consequences to his former allies on a number of occasions, so he avoids such situations.

Despite deciding never to get directly involved into fights, Xantros remains a decent strategist and tactician. He pays a lot of attention to details of his plans, in order to avoid missing something important, though he is aware that all scenarios cannot be predicted. In his plans, he always bases them on the founding rule to avoid any casualties, particularly among his allies.
Description

Xantros was a typical Duro. He was 1.9 meters tall. He had green skin and red eyes. He had no visible nose or ears, which made him look a little bit creepy, especially, when he came out of a cloud of steam, fog or any other gas.

It was clearly visible that Xantros kept his body in shape, but that he did not pay much attention to the physical development. He only maintained average fitness and focused on the development of his Force abilities, which remained unseen to non-Force-sensitive beings and provided him an advantage over many of his enemies.

Several scars on his chest, arms and face suggested that Xantros participated in numerous battles and dangerous missions. They were one of the reasons for Xantros to be proud of his courage and dedication to the Final Way, as he did not hesitate to go into the battle, if it only served the purposes of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and of his own.

Usually, Xantros wore robes, which reflected his Order affiliation and main areas of interests. On off-world missions, he wore a black uniform, which allowed him to keep freedom of movement, which was necessary when fighting. He had a belt, where he attached two or three thermal detonators and a blaster pistol. In an inner pocked he kept his lightsaber. Still the weapon was easily accessible so that the Duro did not have to waste time for searching for it when he was in battle. Comfort was the main aspect which Xantros took under the consideration, when he made decisions on clothes for any given situation.

==Lightsaber==

The Lightsaber was Xantros’ main and most favourite type of weapon. Throughout the years of his service in the Emperor’s Hammer, he utilized a lightsaber with purple blade, which was surrounded with slight silver aura. The effect was caused by putting two focusing crystals into the lightsaber hilt – an artificially created purple crystal and a durandfire gem. However, that lightsaber was destroyed during a period between resignation from the service in the Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood and joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, when Xantros was actively fighting against the Galactic Alliance and leading his own group of mercenaries and pilots.

At the beginning of his service in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Xantros received a training lightsaber. However, he proved himself to be a capable Dark Jedi and thanks to his knowledge and abilities, which he had gained during his service in the Emperor's Hammer Dark Brotherhood, he managed to rise to the rank of the Dark Jedi Knight in few months. Since then, he has had three different lightsabers.

The first of Xantros’ lightsabers in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood was simple and plain. It included an adegan crystal, which he claimed on Ilum. Primarily, it was blue, but due to alchemical treatment, it changed its natural colour to purple. Thanks to that, it emitted purple blade, as a symbol of the Order, which the Duro belonged to. It was a sign that he was a member of the Krath Order and that he was proud, because of that fact.

Several months later, Xantros dismantled the hilt of his first lightsaber and built a new one, which was slightly curved and was shaped to fit its wielders fingers. Due to that, it was far more adjusted to his lightsaber fighting form, Makashi, as it provided him a better and stronger grip, allowing him to strike from unexpected angles. The hilt of his second lightsaber had a somewhat alien appearance and became an easily recognizable part of Xantros' equipment.

After Great Jedi War X, the Dark Council recognized sacrifices and excellent service of the members of the Imperial House and awarded them the right to wield a unit-specific lightsaber. It had simple hilt, which was decorated with the emblem of House Scholae Palatinae. Proud of his membership in that unit, Xantros decided to utilize the newly acquired by the Palatineans lightsaber. In that way, he was able to show his loyalty to his own House and to his own Order at the same time. A Purple blade and stylized hilt had a deep meaning for the Duro, who had slight obsession on symbolic meanings.

Xantros developed skills in two traditional lightsaber forms – Makashi and Soresu. Makashi suited the philosophy of the Duro, who preferred to launch a single, but precise and deadly strike, instead of series of powerful attacks, which would be exhausting and would not guarantee success, as it would require a lot of strength, which Xantros simply did not have. Soresu was Xantros’ reply to the necessity to protect himself from blaster shots. That defensive form provided him necessary abilities to easily defend against ranged attacks. Thanks to such choice of lightsaber forms, Xantros might effectively fight both against other lightsaber users, like the Jedi, and against enemies, who utilize blasters, like mercenaries or soldiers.

However, after his transition, he refuses to use any weapon, including the lightsaber. Due to this fact, he has neglected training in lightsaber combat, so his skills have gradually decreased. When he joined House Odan-Urr, he returned to a simple hilt.
Interesting facts about Xantros' life

Throughout his service in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Xantros held various positions in the structure of the organisation. Not all of these positions were command ones, but they were equally important, as they had great influence on various aspects in the functioning of the Brotherhood.

Xantros' lightsaber has purple blade, as a sign that he belonged to the Krath Order and that he was proud of this fact. However, he considers it now as something hardly more than a symbol of his past as a servant of the Dark Side. He never uses his lightsaber as a weapon, but only as a tool. He is aware that the lightsaber is often enough to avoid fights, as people respect and fear it very much.

Xantros has had two Student so far. The first one was Kazumi Matsumoto. She was a tough one to work with, still the Duro proved his patience to be almost infinite, guiding Kazumi in the ways of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and of the Dark Side. However, she disappeared suddenly one day, just prior to her trials for the Knighthood. Since then, Xantros was looking for a Student, who would meet his expectations, but did not take any other one for a long time. Finally, his old friend from the Emperor’s Hammer, Sam Rajax, reappeared after long hiatus and they decided to get paired in the HSP Master / Student Programme. However, Rajax has also disappeared without a word. Thus, despite being very eager to share his knowledge with other people, he is reluctant to take up a Student anymore.

Xantros was working on an enormous piece of writing, which he titles “Dark Heritage”. Despite doing works over it for two years already, the progress on it remains unknown to other members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, as he does not want them to utilize it without recognition of his merits in the completion of his magnum opus. However, after his conversion to the teachings of the Light Side, Xantros has suspended his work on “Dark Heritage” and focused on a new piece of writing under the title of “Wisdom of the Light”. Still, he uses the knowledge about the Dark Side in his work on “Wisdom of the Light”, as he wants to include warnings about the Dark Side for the future readers of “Wisdom of the Light”.

==How to write Xantros==

You will find few tips how to describe Xantros in your fiction and Run-Ons. Please read this hints and apply them in your writings.

*Xantros is a very curious person. He is eager to learn new things, but this means that he is attracted to any source of knowledge that may bring him unique knowledge, which is not possessed by other beings.

*Xantros cares about his friends and allies very much. He is eager to protect them at almost all costs.
*Xantros is a non-combatant in terms of violence. He refuses to wound or kill other beings, even his enemies.

'''Xantros''' is a male [[starwars:Duro (species)|Duro]] Jedi, member of the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. He is former officer of the [[Emperor's Hammer]], in which he served as a Stormtrooper and a Dark Jedi. Xantros is a member in the [[Consular| Order of the Consular]] and is devoted to studying the ways of the Force. With no family and most of his old friends dead, Xantros is a dedicated member of the Dark Brotherhood.

== Character History ==
Xantros was born and raised in a rich family, living on one of the orbital stations over planet [[starwars:Duro|Duro]]. His childhood was rather a calm one, until the time, when his family disappeared suddenly, leaving him alone. It happened when he was twelve years old. Since then, he was forced to take care of himself on his own. In addition, a desire of traveling was awakened in his soul at that time.

=== Teenage times ===
Xantros was a gifted student who learned quickly. He graduated from school with ease, despite the difficult conditions he lived in. Most of his free time during that period, he spent discovering secrets of the station he lived on, and of the stations nearby. He was very disappointed when he discovered that all of them were almost identical.

When he graduated from school at the age of eighteen, he was allowed to leave the station. He sold all possessions of his family, except a necklace inherited from his mother when he was five years old. It was told to be in his family for five hundred years. Each generation told its story to their descendants. In the future, it was one of the stories Xantros told to earn money for living. Then, he left the station for good and was never to return there.

=== Time of travels ===
In a period of several years before he joined the Hammer’s Fist, he had visited many different worlds, looking for his family, expanding his knowledge and traveling all over the Galaxy. He was a kind of a free spirit and enjoyed his freedom; not forced to stay in one place, but able to travel wherever he wished to.

At the beginning, most visits on new planets were similar. Xantros arrived at a starport and passed through customs. Sometimes, he was asked about the reason of his stay. Many custom officers did not believe him and looked at him in a strange way when he replied that he was going to tell some stories and to listen to new ones, so he could tell them when he would return to previously visited planets. Then, he spent some time in pubs and on public squares, where he could tell the stories, earn some money and gain publicity.

Thanks to that he was soon noticed by local business class and important figures. He was hired to entertain their families, friends and guests during banquets and other official parties. He was also very often asked to write speeches and work over biographies or family histories of important figures. He worked over advertisements for cities and regions as well. He usually spent several months on one planet.

Thanks to all these things, he established connections to local figures and wealthy people. He also managed to earn a small fortune. That was enough for living for some time. However, he enjoyed his job and continued his travels. From time to time, he was invited to visit some planets again. During such visits he told new stories and was treated as a special guest. He was offered apartments in the best hotels and a salary, but also was given gifts like good alcohol, clothes and jewelery.

=== Hammer’s Fist ===
After many years, he decided to join Elite Stormtrooper Legion, Hammer’s Fist. He found it as an opportunity to have great adventures and to learn new things. He knew it would be also great source of information for many stories to be told, when he would retire from active service. In addition to that, he found that the ideals and policy of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Empire]] were more reasonable and just than the ones of the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]]. Also, deep beneath his consciousness he was a warrior. That was why he chose to enlist to the [[starwars:Imperial Army|Imperial Army]]. Hammer’s Fist was ideal.

After completion of basic Stormtrooper training, he was assigned to the Vengeance Detachment. He steadily advanced in ranks. After some time he was assigned to the position of Team Leader in Vengeance. Some time later, he was named Vengeance Detachment Commander and then, Vendetta Detachment Commander. He served on these two positions for over a year. Then, he resigned from active service in the Legion. During this time he participated in several large-scale Operations.

=== Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood ===
Not very long before his resignation from the service in the Hammer’s Fist, he discovered a talent to use the Force. He joined the Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood and quickly passed core exams. He was assigned to Alatus Phyle, [[House Dominatus]], [[Clan Alvaak]]. Several months later, he was appointed to the position of Phyle’s Tetrach. Unfortunately, the Clan, he belonged to, was closed and Xantros was transferred to [[Prophecy Phyle]], [[House Qel-Droma]], [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. However, he was soon chosen to replace its previous Tetrarch. Later, he steadily advance in ranks, as he served in the command position of Prophecy Phyle and then, of [[Dark Orb|Dark Orb Phyle]].

After several months, in recognition of his experience and dedication, he was assigned to the position of House Qel-Droma [[Quaestor]] and elevated to the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. In this way, he joined the noble group of [[Equite]]s. His service as the Quaestor (and than as a Dux) lasted for almost two years, when he stepped down from this position. During that time, he managed to make Qel-Droma a stable unit. After a year of service, he was promoted to the rank of [[Krath Priest]], as he turned out to be solid and dedicated leader who survived three [[Consul]]s in this position. In the last five months of leadership service, he was not really a Quaestor, but Dux of Maelstrom Hetaeria. The position was, however, equivalent to the Quaestor.

In May 26 ABY, Xantros completely resigned from service as a leader and two months later, he decided to leave the Dark Brotherhood for some time. He found out that he was not able to continue his service to the Dark Brotherhood. His zeal was vanished. He was in need to search for himself. The journey took him three and a half of a month, but was definitely fruitful and successful one. He not only regained the spirit and will to serve the Empire and the Dark Brotherhood, but accompanied by his old friend and form Consul, he found a hidden planet, called Dark Sanctuary. The planet was a location of secret base of three ancient Dark Jedi who developed Force powers called the Words of Power.

After the return, Xantros chose Taranis Hetaeria as his new home. It was partially because he was reluctant to return to people, he somehow failed as a leader. The second reason was the fact that his friend, who helped him find the Dark Sanctuary was a member of Taranis. Joined together, they made a lot of efforts to convince the leadership of the unit to accept new Force powers, but they finally managed to do so.

In early 27 ABY, there was another restructure. Xantros, as all other Dark Jedi, was assigned to House Drakonan, but refused any command position. He justified it with his will to serve the Dark Brotherhood as a rank member. He believed it would be the best way to be of service to other Dark Jedi. As a Krath, Xantros was assigned to the Dark Wizards Phyle, which was later renamed to Dark Prophets Phyle.

=== Fall of the Dark Brotherhood ===
However, no matter of his efforts, the Dark Brotherhood was slowly decaying and it was in the final stage of its fall. Xantros saw its members dying one by one and finally, he realized that there was no Dark Brotherhood to serve. There were only few former members of the Dark Brotherhood still to remember its former glory. It was the end of the Dark Brotherhood. Xantros could only regret that he was not able to fight the New Republic in the way he used to. He grieved due to the fall of the Dark Brotherhood, but he did not give up. He continued his fight against the New Republic.

=== Interim ===
Though there was no Dark Brotherhood, Xantros remained a Dark Jedi. His knowledge and powers were intact. He was determined to continue his crusade against the New Republic. It had to fall, so the Empire could once again rule the Galaxy. He believed that only the iron grasp of Imperial military could maintain the peace and wealthyn in the Galaxy.

Xantros had a long-term plan and abilities to carry his plan on. The former Krath Priest gathered almost three hundreds of mercenaries and pilots in one group, called Dark Ravens. The group worked under Xantros’ leadership for almost six years and became a serious threat for the New Republic weakened and ruined by the war against [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]]. Dark Ravens were able to deal several serious blows to the New Republic and later to the Galactic Alliance.

=== Dark Brotherhood ===
It was 33 ABY, when Xantros met [[Angelo Dante|Dante]] in one of casinos on [[starwars:Alassa Major|Alassa Major]]. Dante informed him that there was another Dark Brotherhood, the one which had been referred as Dark Jedi Brotherhood in the past, still out there. It had numerous members and was much stronger than the Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood that Xantros could remember.

Recruited by Dante, Xantros agreed to undergo probationary period that was going to be a test to prove if Xantros was ready to regain the rank of Krath Priest. Assigned to the [[Dorimad Sol|House Dorimad Sol]] in [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]], Xantros quickly advanced in ranks, in less than six months becoming a Dark Jedi Knight.
As a [[Protector]], Xantros was assigned as the [[Flight Leader|Sith Flight Leader]] of the [[Blades of Chaos|Battleteam Blades of Chaos]]. However, soon after his promotion to the rank of [[Guardian]], [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]], like all other clans, was downsized, due to an AWOL check, and transformed into Independent House Scholae Palatinae. Xantros was transferred from Blades of Chaos to [[Scholae Palatinae#Battleteam_Dorimad_Sol|Battleteam Dorimad Sol]], named after one of Clan’s Houses, where he continued his service to the Dark Brotherhood.

=== The Knighthood ===
Months of hard work and dedicated service brought the result, Xantros always dreamed about. In early days of 34 ABY, as soon as he met the obligatory requirements and constructed his own lightsaber, he was promoted to the honourable rank of the [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. He finally became fully-trained Dark Jedi, prepared for the challenges the Knight had to face.

Xantros achieved his goal, but it was not the end of his work. Several weeks later, he was entrusted with the position of the Sith Commander of the Battleteam Caliburnus. It was a fairly new challenge to the [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. Still, he hoped to perform his new duties well. There are multiple projects for the Battleteam that Xantros takes care of. His goal now is to make [[Caliburnus]] one of the best Battleteams of the Dark Brotherhood.

=== Personality and traits ===
Xantros was amazingly brave as for a Duro. He was also very honorable and proud. He was recognized by many as a loyal friend, though it was very hard to become his friend. Still, when someone earned his friendship, Xantros was ready to sacrifice his life for that person.

Xantros was always hungry of knowledge and he used any opportunity to learn. On the other hand, it made him be sometimes harsh. He expected that other people would value knowledge and wisdom like he did. If someone ignored necessary knowledge or behaved like a fool, Xantros tended to point that out, often in harsh way and no matter of dignity and rank of his interlocutor.

However, he was usually kind and well-mannered person. He used force only, when it was absolutely necessary, preferring to find more subtle ways of dealing with problems and enemies. He called his philosophy “Way of Wise Warrior”, as he always tried to avoid unnecessary risk.

Xantros usually deeply analyzed situations before making a decision. It made him valued adviser to anyone who wished to listen to his words. However, when he lacked time to think, he heavily relied on his feelings and made only draft plans.

Though Xantros was a Duro, he managed to overcome characteristic to his race limits in fighting. He still finds it a bit harder to learn new fighting styles, but no longer hesitates to fight, if it is necessary.

=== Description ===
Xantros is a typical Duro. He is 1,9 meter high. He also has green skin, red eyes and he is noseless, as well as hairless. All these characteristics make him an average Duro. His body is not very muscular, but he keeps it in shape.

== Interesting facts about Xantros' life ==

===Imperial Senate – fictional background===

The Imperial Senate is an advisory body to the Emperor. It resides at the Imperial Senate Chamber in the Imperial Palace, which is located on the throne world of the Empire, Judecca. Members of the Imperial Senate meet regularly to discuss various matters, which have crucial meaning for functioning of the Empire. It serves as a tool to make people think that they have influence on how the Empire is ruled, but in fact, it is another façade to hide the true nature of Empire’s rulers.

The Imperial Senate has no power to make any real decisions. It may provide opinions on certain matters or its own ideas for bills, but they still need to be reviewed and approved by the Emperor himself. Also, members of the Imperial Senate are Dark Jedi, members of House Scholae Palatinae, only. Each planet in the Imperial Dominion has so called Senator, but they are only liaisons between the high level administration and the average citizens of the Empire.

===Real life purposes===

Imperial Senate is a place, which has been designed to allow members of House Scholae Palatinae to discuss various matters and to improve their debate abilities. Every member of the Imperial House is allowed to free participate in the debates, no matter if they are just practice or a competition. The Summit of the Imperial House will regularly host events, which will allow participants to test their abilities or to discuss matters, which have crucial meaning for the House.

There are three types of debates, which members of the Imperial House may take part in:
*Practice Debates – held to allow the participants develop their debate abilities. Everyone is allowed to start them, as long as they have a partner to discuss with. Though there are no awards provided for participation in such debates directly, it is considered as additional activity, which is very much appreciated and encouraged. Practice debates include three posts per one participant.
*Competition Debates – these debates are hosted in a form of competitions and have one purpose, which is to determine, who is the best debater in the Imperial House. They may be held only by a manager of a given competition. Standard competition awards are provided for the winners and each participant receives a Cluster of Ice for every debate, which he or she takes part in. It is highly probable that the best debaters will be chosen for participation in DJB-wide debate competitions with the top priority, if there are any restrictions for number of members in a team;
*House Improvement Debates – these debates are very specific ones. Their only goal is to learn opinions of House members on various matters. They shall be held strictly by the members of the House Summit. In an average situation, members of the House will be informed about the details of a discussed matter. While the result of the debate is not binding, every opinion shall be taken under the consideration.

There shall be a subforum created, which shall be devoted solely for the debates. Each debate need to follow this pattern of naming: [TYPE][TOPIC]. In case of the Practice Debates and the Competition Debates, there must be a deadline and a number of participants specified, as well as their division into teams. The host of a debate shall provide necessary information about the topic being discussed. Usually, it is enough to give the topic itself, but in some cases, additional information may be required, especially in case of House Improvement Debates.

Standard length for all debaters (groups of debaters) in all types of debates is minimum of 250 words and maximum of 2500 words

In the year 36 ABY, Brotherhood systems were attacked by former Grandmaster [[Zoraan]]. Following his death and the capture of his flagship, the SSD Avenger II, One Sith Sleeper agents within the Brotherhood initiated a long planned attack. Every Brotherhood system felt the sting of a coordinated attack to removed the leadership and defenses of the Brotherhoood. [[Muz Ashen]] issued orders to all leaders of the Brotherhood. The time to strike out from the home systems had come. The Dark Crusade to claim ancient Sith Worlds, and route out the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] had come.

Scholae Palatinae answered the call along with the other units in the Brotherhood. Fighting valiantly on multiple planets along side their brothers, they helped reclaim several planets for the Brotherhood. Their deeds and those of their brethren are found here.

== Pre-Crusade ==
For over a decade, One Sith forces infiltrated Brotherhood space. Slowly they filled ranks within all Brotherhood units, Sleeper agents waiting for the time to strike. They would strike at the heart of the leadership of the Brotherhood, hoping to bring it all down. They had one goal, destroy the Brotherhood before it became a bigger threat to the One Sith’s ideals and the teachings of [[starwars:Darth Krayt|Darth Krayt]].

In 36 ABY, former Grandmaster Zoraan attacked the Brotherhood with a large force. Every system became infected by Lysu Thren’s [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon plague]]. His attack was without mercy. Civilian death toll alone was over 30 million. He was slain by Grandmaster Muz Ashen shortly before [[Macron|Macron Shadow]] developed a cure to the terrible plague.

=== SSD Avenger II ===
[[File:AvengerIIRear.jpg|thumb|left|200 px|The Avenger II]]
{{Main|[[Dark Crusade - Prologue|Assault on the Avenger II]]}}

The Brotherhood had taken terrible losses. In an attempt to recoup some of their lost firepower, multiple strike teams boarded Zoraan’s flagship, SSD Avenger II. They stroke quickly while it was attempting to flee the Shroud. A team comprised mainly of Naga Sadow members and a sole Palatinaean, Archangel boarded. They secured the hanger from the Dark Jedi twins, Reaper and Frost. After more forces landed, including the Deputy Grandmaster Raken, they moved forward to disable the security on the ship.

Dark Adept Dantella Novae, a powerful Elder, hampered their progress. While other strike teams dealt with general forces this singular team had to subdue this powerful Elder. Novae used her abilities to control Kalia and set the team fighting one of their own. Through the use of a mind meld and dark side snare they managed to subdue the elder to be extracted by other Brotherhood forces.

The team shaken, made their way to the bridge. There they faced Zoraan’s apprentice, Darth Necar a severely demented man with near Grandmaster level ability. Along with him there were [[starwars:Terentatek|Terentatek]] to deal with. Between a powerful Sith Lord and the formidable sithspawn, it was nearly the end for the Brotherhood forces, but a thermal detonator along with a breach in the bridge’s hull led to the demise of Darth Necar. While it took many members to secure the Avenger II, the highest honors were given to this singular team for successfully removing the greatest threat on the ship. While forces were primarily Naga Sadow, Archangel brought great pride and honor to Scholae Palatinae for being part of this team.

The full roster of this team was:
*[[Kalia Pepoi]]
*[[Atra Ventus]]
*[[Araxis Farron]]
*[[Methyas_Pepoi_L%27eonheart|Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]]
*[[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae|Archangel]]

=== A Call to Arms ===

It was at this time the sleeper One Sith agents received their call to attack. Traitors in every system began the attack. It began with disabling security, deactivating defense droids, rigging surveillance. The Brotherhood was made more vulnerable than it had ever been before.

Then came the suicide attackers. Agents on every planet began targeting high priority members. For Scholae Palatinae they saw an officer attack his superiors at Fort Hammer on [[Ptolomea]] before killing himself. It was only the beginning. Assassin struck at the key Dark Council and unit Leaders. Solari’s mechanical body was broken to bits at the Academy. Fremoc was wounded at the spike. Raken was attacked by a large group of assassins, and left bloody and tattered. The Halls of the Royal Palace on Judecca came under siege. The Scholae Palatinae forces reacted swiftly to secure their leaders and powerful members. The entire Brotherhood was left in a panic to prevent a total downfall. But the subterfuge and assassinations failed. The Brotherhood was wounded, but very much alive. Alive and hungry for vengeance.

Then the call came. Muz Ashen issued the order. The Brotherhood was going on the offensive. Not even the One Sith and Darth Krayt could get away with attempting an attack like this. Scholae Palatinae prepared its forces for the first phase of the attack and set its sight on Nfolgai.

==Nfolgai==
{{Quote|This is the first true lesson for the One Sith. There are going to more in the future.|Xantros after successful conquest of Nfolgai}}

The forces of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood simultaneously attacked two planets – Krayiss II and Nfolgai. The Summit of the Imperial House decided to assault the ancient Sith planet of Nfolgai. They saw it as a more interesting place because it provided more room for adjustments necessary to meet the needs of Scholae Palatinae goals.

The invasion on Nfolgai involved fleets and ground armies of four units of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood – Clan Naga Sadow, House Tarentum, House Plagueis and House Scholae Palatinae. All of them have located their camps in different areas of the planet, depending on what was the most valuable target in the eyes of their commanders.

Thanks to the location of the Imperial House encampment, its members played a significant role in securing the wreckage of Interdictor-class Cruiser “Render”. After hours of hunting and silent assassinations, they have eliminated most of the maddened Mrlssi, who nested in the remnants of the ship. However, due to being interrupted by the patrols of the One Sith, the Palatineans did not manage to get inside “Render” and to report back with the findings claimed out there. Clan Naga Sadow were the ones who managed to get Intel from the “Render”.

The Imperial House was in an inconvenient situation, as far as assassination of Yobd Nan, the leader of the One Sith operations on Nfolgai, was concerned. Long distance from the encampment of the One Sith Forces forced the Dark Jedi of Scholae Palatinae to take numerous fights against Draethos, which inhabited southern parts of the planet. However, forces of the Imperial House have taken efforts to fulfill this goal, as it had a crucial meaning for the success of the Brotherhood operations on the planet. However, due to the rivalry of other units which were involved in the invasion on Nfolgai, such as Naga Sadow and Plagueis, they were unsuccessful in their attempts to kill the Sith Lord. Other members of the allied Houses and Clan have done whatever they could to slow the Dark Jedi of the Imperial House in their quest. It was members of House Plagueis who managed to land the killing blow to the Sith Lord.

As far as the infiltration of the Temple of Sorzus Syn, no one dared to go inside. Even the Summit of House Scholae Palatinae decided not to take up this mission, as they lacked the sufficient number of Elders, who might face the spirit of the ancient Sith and all traps, which were prepared for unwelcome intruders.

Still, the army of the Imperial House, including many of its Dark Jedi, was heavily involved in decimating the forces of the One Sith, which were present on the planet. It was a series of small scale battles and ambushes, which attracted no one’s attention, but which was equally important as all other goals of the invansion.

After two weeks of struggling, Nfolgai has been liberated from the rule of the One Sith and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood has gained the control over the planet. Scholae Palatinae was glad to have been of aid on liberating the planet for the Brotherhood, yet very upset they were not the ones who carried out the major objectives on the planet.

== Home System Impact ==

There is an ongoing influence within the [[Cocytus System]] due to the House’s involvement in the Dark Crusade, though the long term impacts are yet to be fully understood. Due to the absence of the Dark Jedi exerting control of local politics and economy activity there are those who unknowingly are starting to find successes where they had previously found resistance.

[[file:Ohmen-undercity.jpg|thumb|right|150 px|Ohmen, Judecca undercity and heart of organized crime in the Cocytus System.]]
=== Organized Crime ===

The House Summit of Scholae Palatinae allows certain individuals to thrive and find success with minor crime syndicates to keep balance within the system. Through planted membership and back door relationships these crime channels are allowed to exist to give an outlet for black market activities to provide supply and keep others from popping up.

As this network has been neglected in the Dark Crusade, as the Dark Jedi call to arms to find glory elsewhere in the galaxy, actual talent has begun to make inroads into this system. Beyond the two main criminal organizations which are propped up by the Dark Jedi there is a third which has begun a rise to power beyond their control.

The long term impact is unknown, or how widespread this influence is due to its nature and still remains out of the attention of the Scholae Palatinae summit. The majority of this pain is felt by the existing organizations that relied on Dark Jedi influence for success and inherently lack individual ability to exert fear and power necessary to maintain control.

[[file:Judecca-military-supply-warehouse.jpg|thumb|right|150 px|Empty military supply warehouse on Judecca following military departure for the Dark Crusade.]]
=== Political Unrest ===

Prior to the Dark Crusade there were One Sith attacks following the Horizon Crisis which put the entire system on alert. The residents of the system were not expecting a series of seemingly pointless terrorist attacks against their system. Nearly all the planets of the system had reported terrorist activity but none more heavily attacked than Judecca.

The military response to the attack was quick and prompt and sightings of soldiers in the streets of Ohmen became commonplace for up to weeks following. This was quickly followed by their absence not only from the streets but from local bases. Normally full of their armies they were now down to the skeleton crews running the bases. The majority had been called into service to the Dark Crusade.

Under the guise of a retaliatory strike against the terrorists the military had been called into the service of the Dark Crusade, as had the majority of the Dark Jedi within Scholae Palatinae. This left an absence of both military strength and formidable military leaders. Not just the absence of the people but the comforting sight of the House fleet watching over the small system had not been seen since.

Suspicious began to rise as weeks turned to months. The Senate had been without its Emperor at its head for some time now, and their ability to respond to issues and domestic disputes rose. People began to worry about additional terrorist attacks against a limited military influence and fear began to quickly spread. People began to question where the military and politicians were and what was going on.

All these concerns got worse when local military bases began to aggressively recruit additional soldiers. A call to arms to support the anti-terrorism campaign abroad. As the Dark Crusade continues the level of unrest continues to swell. Although not yet at a breaking point continued absence will most certainly have long lasting impacts on the level of trust within the system. Though no catalyst has presented itself to set into actions that chain of events.

Xantros: /* Explanation */

We do not set up additional requirements for the Journeymen, we simply want to make utilize another way to inform our members about some basic things. Yes, it means doubling some guidelines, which already exist, but want to make sure that HSP members may reach the information easily. Also, we are trying various platforms to save the documents prepared for the use of our House, in order to find the best platform for this task. We believe that at least general overview and Equite Paths may be located on the Wikipedia, for the sake of keeping House identity documents in one place. - Xantros

One of the major Sith space systems, Nfolgai has been a place of Sith tombs and rule for thousands of years. The sentient races, Draethos and Mrlssi are little more than slaves for the Sith who ruled in the past and rule today. It is also the primary objective of four of the major Houses and Clans of the Dark Brotherhood, who have been tasked with wresting control of the system from its current occupants.

The Brotherhood chose this as one of the two planets with which to begin their Dark Crusade upon the planets of the old Sith Empire. Born as a form of retribution against the One Sith, the military of the Iron Throne along with the various houses and clans of the Brotherhood came to establish a beachhead outside their own systems in order to further branch out into the galaxy.

== System Topography ==

=== Nfolgai ===
Nofolgai was a mountainous planet with arid desert climate to the north with swam and jungles in the south, located on the Descri Wris hyperlane in the difficult to navigate Stygian Caldera of the Outer Rim Territories. Located in the Sith Worlds sector and having a long history of Sith presence, the planet was diseased with the Dark Side of the Force and dotted with grandiose monuments to fallen Sith Lords.

Comet

== Geography ==
Nfolgai is lined from pole to pole with endless large sweeping mountain ranges concentrated in the northern hemisphere, with no bodies of water anywhere on its surface. Due to the higher elevation and endless peaks to the north, the planet has drastically different climate and land cover on each of its hemispheres.

=== Northern Hemisphere ===
The entire northern hemisphere of Nfolgai is covered in large sweeping mountain ranges towering into the upper atmosphere. This leaves most of it arid with all moisture contained nearly year round in polar ice caps.

==== Climate ====
The temperatures are freezing almost year round at the pole covering it in ice caps. As you move south away from the northern pole of the planet, the higher elevation of the mountain ranges create a rain shadow, and when combined with the low temperatures it keeps the rest of the hemisphere covered in mountainous cold arid deserts that sustain hardly any vegetation at all.

==== Biodiversity ====
The arid biosphere of the northern hemisphere supported almost no animal or plant life. The far northern polar ice caps never reaching a temperature capable of sustaining any life, closer to the equator were hardy mosses and flowers, but no sentient or animal life.

=== Southern Hemisphere ===
The southern hemisphere of the planet was also covered in mountain ranges and polar ice, but diverged at the equator creative valleys tucking away jungles and swamps and the only opportunity for sustained life on the planet.

==== Climate ====
The lower elevation and valleys allow the temperature to reach a level capable of sustaining life. Although semi arid in the peaks, the valleys of the southern hemisphere contain jungles dense with vegetation and swamps where the only standing water on the planet collects. Towards the southern pole of the planet the temperatures drop as the mountain ranges come back together creating subarctic climates with ice caps existing only at the most southern tip.

==== Biodiversity ====
The jungles and swamps of the southern hemisphere contain their own ecosystems. Due to the mix in minerals in the mountainous terrain covering nearly the entire plane, all flora in these jungles and swamps contains an exceedingly high level and complex mix of metallic content. This result renders all radar and scanners nearly useless.

===== Plants =====
There were at least a dozen species of trees in the jungles towering high into the air between the mountain ranges, making up a dense canopy. A few of the stronger species of trees with thicker trunks and leaves emerge beyond this canopy seeking the bright sunlight.

The thick canopy of treetops blocked light, but various vines climbed their way up the tall trees reaching for sun making up the understory. Below it on the dark wet forest floor where sunlight rarely reaches are decomposing leaves from the trees above, and an unidentified number of species of ferns, fungi and mosses that have adapted to life with such little sunlight living off the decomposing matter.

In several of the deeper flatter canyons closer to the southern pole, the runoff from the mountains slows and creates two wide and massive swamp forests. Flooding seasonally, the swamps contain several of the same species of trees from the surrounding jungles that are more resilient to flooded conditions. Various unidentified herbs and small shrubs grow throughout and floating in the water.

===== Animals =====
The jungles of the planet are rife with wildlife. Consisting of mammals, including primates in the upper canopy along with countless birds, and felids lurking the jungle floors. In addition to these are various snakes and lizards. Even more numerous than the mammals and reptiles making up over 90% of the diversity within are insects: butterflies, spiders, ants, beetles, wasps and flies.

The swamps contain species capable of adapting to the fluctuation in the water levels. Snakes and various species of frogs and salamanders making up the majority. Several species of larger wading birds live in these areas as well, with a large variety of invertebrates under the surface of the water as well as the larval stages of many of the thousands of insects.

=== The Force ===
The influence of the Dark Side on the planet is hard to determine. During its time as a tomb world countless Sith Mausoleums were erected for Sith Lords by the slave populations. The energies emitted from these vary but the impact is real on the populations of the planet.

Every living organism on the planet has been diseased with the Dark Side of the Force. This has resulted in a maddening in some more intelligent species, while adding sophistication to swarming in the case of wasps in the jungles. At all levels of the food chain it has made the entire world slightly more treacherous, but all still hanging slightly in balance no doubt by the will of the Force.

== Points of Interest ==

There are three main points of interests on planet Nfolgai – the wreckage of the Interdictor Class Destroyer Render, Sorzus Syn’s Mausoleum and Prahit Lake. These locations are suspected to conceal secrets, which probably are of extremely high value to any Dark Side cult, particularly such strong organizations like the Dark Jedi Brotherhood or the One Sith. Scouting teams brought back the following information on each place.

=== Interdictor Class Destroyer Render ===

Interdictor Class Destroyer Render has been discovered on planet Nfolgai in 35 ABY, by the expeditionary force of the One Sith. Its current state suggests that it has crashed on the polar areas of the northern hemisphere of the planet. However, the cause of its crash remains unknown.

Thanks to amazing abilities of its Captain, the damages to the ship have been greatly limited, leaving the hull of the ship relatively intact. Throughout the millennia from its crash, the ship has decayed and became useless, but it still possibly contains useful data or artifacts, which may be utilized by the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

The scouting teams of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood have encountered signs of at least one recent battle, during which modern blasters have been utilized by one side. It is believed that the leaders of the One Sith have sent teams to infiltrate the wreckage, but the soldiers have been attacked by the Mrissi, who have been observed by the scouts.

It seems that the remnants of the ship have been colonized by these flightless bird-like creatures in the unprecised time between the crash of Render and the current times. It is clear that the Mrissi have been maddened by the influence of the Dark Side, which still may be easily sensed on the surface of Nfolgai.

=== Sorzus Syn’s Mausoleum ===

It is almost impossible to provide an exact time of creation of Sorzus Syn’s Mausoleum, but it definitely dates back to the era, when there were numerous Sith Lords in the Galaxy. There is very little known about the Mausoleum itself, as very few records about it have remained safe from the Jedi, who were doing their best to retrieve all and any artifacts and records about the Sith throughout the Galaxy. It is even a mystery, whether Sorzus Syn or any other Sith Lord has been buried inside the facility. However, there are several certain details, which are known about the Mauselum.

It is located in the southern hemisphere of planet Nfolgai. It has been carved out in a mountainside by thousands of slaves, who come from the races of Mrlssi and Draethos. From the outside, the Mausoleum is protected in two ways. While dense forest canopy makes an aerial approach impossible, the jungle is inhabited by the descendants of these, who built the facility. These creatures have been affected by the Dark Side and will definitely protect the Mausoleum with no fear nor mercy.

However, even if one manages to bypass this lines of defence, there are countless surprises waiting for intruders in the interior of the complex. Corridors, quarters, libraries and meditation chambers are probably patrolled by ancient, but still deadly war droids. Their only goal is to protect the Mausoleum from any intruders, who would dare to enter the facility in attempt to steal anything of the heritage of the Sith Lord.

=== Prahit Lake ===

Located twenty miles from the Sorzus Syn’s Mausoleum to the West, Prahit Lake takes almost sixty square kilometers of surface. Its depth is unknown, because attributes of water contained in the lake prevent any long underwater research.

Deeply tainted with the energies of the Dark Side, water of Prahit Lake is not drinkable. The tests carried out on gathered samples have proven that it is a strong poison itself. It is also known that the water of this lake displays strong caustic characteristics.

There have been no life forms observed nearby the lake or in its waters themselves. However, it is not known, if any lifeforms have adapted to the hostile environment of the lake. It is also not know, if the waters of the lake do not conceal useful treasures, like precious lightsaber crystals of unique features.

== Demographics ==
=== Species ===
==== Native Species ====
No native intelligent species. The harsh environment of the planet has allowed for some basic life forms in the dense and dangerous jungles of the southern hemisphere. There were however several important species to the planet during the Ancient Sith Empire.

==== Imported Species ====
===== Humans =====
[[starwars:Humans|Human]] were one of three slave races brought to Nfolgai during the Ancient Sith Empire to erect the many Sith Mausoleums that dot its surface. Found throughout the galaxy humans were easily replaceable slave labor for the Sith Empire.

In the years following the fall of the Sith Empire on the planet all of the enslaved humans quickly died out. Unable to cope with the harsh environment and without the support of the Sith Empire for supplies, they stood little chance of long term survival.

===== Mrlssi =====
[[File:Mrlssi-Scholae.jpeg|thumb|200px|right|Two Mrlssi]]
[[starwars:Mrlssi|Mrlssi]] are a feathered bird like species found from the planet [[starwars:Mrlsst|Mrlsst]]. While as a young species their planet of Mrlsst was geologically unstable. Any buildings and possessions were destroyed with regularity. However, the Mrlssi discovered that knowledge would endure. They are famous for their high intelligence and ability to quickly reverse engineer technology.

Following the fall of the Ancient Sith Empire, the Mrlssi continue to survive on Nfoglai to this day. However they have very little in terms of commonality with their modern Mrlssi counterparts. The Mrlssi of Nfolgai have become creatures of basic emotion and instinct living in primitive tribal packs. While the species genius surely helped the original slaves survive on the planet, that ingenuity cannot be found in their descendants today. While more primitive, the One Sith discovered upon arrival that the Mrlssi had an unnatural connection to the Dark Side of the force.

===== Draethos =====
[[File:Draethos-Scholae.jpeg|thumb|200px|left|A Draethos]]
The [[starwars:Draethos|Draethos]] are an incredibly long life span humanoid species from [[starwars:Thosa|Thosa]]. Noted for their comical appearance of an drastic overbite, The Draethos also possessed the ability of telepathy.

As with the Mrlssi on Nfolgai, the Draethos can still be found on the planet today. Life on the planet has driven them to be primitive and basic tribal members. As well, upon the arrival of the One Sith it was discovered the Draethos had an unnatural connection with the Dark Side. This connection, along with the one found in the Mrlssi led the One Sith to discover the mausoleum of Sorzus Syn. Although primitive, the Draethos are savage warriors utilizing crude weapons and even basic force powers developed from the long years of life on the planet. In particular the Draethos make claiming the mausoleum of Sorzus Syn incredibly difficult for One Sith and Brotherhood members alike.

=== Languages ===
At the time of the Sith Empire the pure tongue language of Sith was used by the Sith overlords on the planet. Basic, Draethos, and Mrlsstese are assumed to have been used as well to communicate with the Humans, Draethos and Mrlssi slaves on the planet.

Presently the Mrlssi tribes continue to use a more devolved form of their native language. The Draethos continue to use the clicky native language of Draethos in addition to their telepathic abilities.

=== Population ===
It is currently unknown what the total population of surviving Mrlssi and Draethos are on Nfolgai. Both species of former slaves live in racial tribes in pockets throughout the southern hemisphere. A warren of Mrlssi has been found in the wreckage of the Render in the north, it is unknown if any of the other crashed ships house other small communities.

=== Urbanization ===
While at the time of the Ancient Sith Empire there were safe havens and structures to house the slaves working on the mausoleums, these have all been eroded away with time. Currently there is no real form of Urbanization. Both the Mrlssi and Draethos live in racially defined tribes throughout the southern hemisphere. All the tribes reside within the Southern Hemisphere, relying on the dense and harsh jungles for sustenance.

In the northern hemisphere a warren of Mrlssi have been found to be surviving within the crashed remains of the Interdictor-Class Destroyer Render. After over 3,000 years of subjection to the harsh frozen elements in the northern hemisphere, the Render is one of the only places of safe haven for the crazed Mrlssi who call it home.

=== Education ===
While renowned for their intelligence throughout the galaxy, the Mrlssi of Nfolgai have lost much of their ability for learning. Both Mrlssi and Draethos have demonstrated remarkable abilities at adapting to the planet, it does not appear there is any form of actual education in either of the races tribes. Both rely on a hands-on approach with younglings to learn to survive on the planet. This envelopes the most basic tribal needs such as hunting, shelter building and communication between tribal members.

== Economy ==
* Currently: None
* At the time of the Ancient Sith Empire Nfolgai was a planet reserved for mausoleums for Sith Lords. Slaves were imported to work on the tombs and eventually left to fend for themselves when the Empire fell.

=== Major Imports ===
* Currently: None
* At the time of the Ancient Sith Empire: Slaves, foodstuffs, tools for building

=== Major Exports ===
None. Sith Knowledge is found upon holocrons littered throughout the Mausoleums on the surface which is what attracted both the One Sith and the Dark Brotherhood to the planet.

== Space Presence ==
[[File:UglyFighter-Scholae.jpeg|thumb|200px|left|An example of an ugly fighter]]
None from species on the planet.

One Space Station housing a small settlement of spacers in low orbit, most likely pirates hiding here due to the lack civilization on the surface. Station is also protected with two squadrons of aged [[starwars:Ugly|Ugly]] fighters. Cobbled together from various fighters, these two squadrons as well as the station itself pose little threat to Brotherhood Forces. Main threats to the Brotherhood in space are any One Sith ships that can be brought in system to defend the planet.

==History==

The history of Ulic Qel-Droma necklace counts over four thousand years. There are some validated records about the history of the artifact, but a portion of information about it is based upon unconfirmed gossips and rumours.

===Beginnings===

After losing the connection to the Force Ulic Qel-Droma fled to Rhen Var, where he found a shelter. Some time later, his location was discovered by young female Jedi, Vima Sunrider, who asked him to teach her the ways of the Jedi, as she was disappointed with the attitude of her mother, who did not have much time for her. Qel-Droma reluctantly agreed to do so. Finally, Vima’s mother, Nomi Sunrider, found them and tried to force her daughter to leave Vima’s new master.

Vima guided her mother to the sculptures of Arca Jeth and Andur Sunrider, where they talked about Qel-Droma and his teachings. However, in meanwhile the former Jedi was attacked by a Cathar Jedi, Sylvar, who hated him for the death of Sylvar’s lover. Still, Qel-Droma managed to convince his opponent to leave the anger and hatred. They both deactivated their lightsabers, but Ulic was deadly shot by a spacer, known as Hoggon.

Passing away, Ulic Qel-Droma gave his necklace to his student, Vima Sunrider, and called her a Jedi.

===Lost to History===

It is not very much known about the further history of the necklace. It is assumed that it was inherited by the descendants of Vima Sunrider for almost thousand years. They studied its powers and the ways to use the necklace. The owners of this artifact always claimed it to be the most valuable of all their possessions. It was so not because of its features, but due to the fact that it was regarded as the symbol of redemption. The history of its first owner, Ulc Qel-Droma, was told to every member of the Sunrider family, in order to prevent them from joining the Dark Side and to make sure that the others would never stop in their efforts to redeem their fallen relatives.

It is rumoured that some of the most powerful descendants of Vima Sunrider were able to add some of the powers to the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma or to strenghten and improve the already existing ones. However, there is no reliable source of information that could confirm these rumours and it cannot be determined if it is truth or not.

===New Tython===

It is not known how and when exactly was the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma brought to New Tython, which is now the homeworld of the Jedi of House Odan-Urr. However, it is suspected that Vima-Da-Boda, very distant descendant of Vima Sunrider and the member of the Jedi Order in the last century before the destruction of the Old Republic, decided to hide it in a safe location after the fall of her daughter to the Dark Side. It is believed that she hid the necklace on New Tython some time between the Great Jedi Purge and the colonization of the planet in the 3 ABY, when the planet was not inhabited by any colonists from the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.

===Rediscovery===

The artifact was rediscovered in early 34 ABY by the members of House Odan-Urr. It was found in a cave somewhere in the central mountain range of Owyhyee continent. They studied the necklace and discovered its special features. However, it made the leaders of the House keep it in the secret, hidden deep in the vault of Odan-Urr. They decided to hide it in order to protect less powerful Jedi from possible influence of the artifact and because they were afraid that the necklace could be of use for the Dark Jedi. However, the spies of the Dark Council managed to learn about the location of the artifact.

==Description==

The Necklace of Qel-Droma is, in fact, two separate parts, the union of which creates the artifact. A long strand of golden chain is looped through a ring and fastened at each end. The ring is the centerpiece of the necklace, as it holds the most significance to Ulic Qel-Droma.

The chain itself is made up of tightly interwoven strands of gold, linked together in a long chain. Each weave has three strands, strengthening the each chain link. Each link in the chain is tiny, barely three millimeters, creating another level of intricacy. Due to the natural weakness of gold, the strands are an alloy of carbon, iron, silver and gold. All these elements create a strong bond, but with the malleability of a softer metal. Because of this, the chain is comfortable to wear and has a soft skin feeling.

The ring is an important part of Qel-Droma's life and his heart. Originally presented to Nomi Sunstrider as a gift, it was not accepted, because she could see the Dark Side starting to take hold over him. By not accepting the ring, she protected herself from whatever the Dark side of him had in store. It was considered by some historians that this event only helped to fuel his fall from the Light side.

Though the ring has been altered over time, it's original design is still known. A simple gold alloy, similar to that used for the chain, but with more silver, creating a white gold effect. This contrasts well with the gold of the chain, even though the original pieces were separate, and were joined sometime during Qel-Droma's life. The alloy is also far stronger than the alloy of the chain, thereby creating a stiffer ring, with little give. It is considered that this 'feature' of the ring was Qel-Droma's rebellion against the ways of the Jedi, and their restrictive rules.

The ring is rounded, with a thin bevel on the edges. The bevel cuts slightly into the rounded portion of the ring, creating a stretched Omega when looking at the cross-section. This design feature creates a shadowing effect in bright light situations by reflecting light towards the central portion of the ring. In this same vain, colored light can also be reflected, creating a dazzling fade of color.

The bevel creates two thin lines which runs the circumference of the ring, running parallel to each other. Right at the center of the ring, a narrow groove runs parallel to the other two. This center feature is a deep inlay of another material. Thin shavings of Corusca gems pressed into the gap create a garden-of-crystal effect when looking into the crevice. The Corusca gem is one of the most valued precious gems in the galaxy, sought after for its beauty. It would have taken an artisan a very long time to create this groove, with the gem shavings. This feature also increases the market value of the ring as a piece of jewelry.

The intervening surface of gold has a rough texture. This texture is not from the ring being unfinished, but was an intended feature of the item. Carefully ground areas have a rough, but uniform feeling as one runs one's finger over it. This texture creates pockets of shading throughout the metal of the outer side of the ring.

On the inside of the band, the metal is clean and polished to a brilliance. There is a small inscription found here, naming the intended, Nomi Sunstrider, etched in Ulic's own handwriting. The letters were then 'dressed' with silver, making them stand out to the eye of a viewer.

It was only after Ulic's fall to the Dark Side that the ring and chain were combined. It acted as an anchor for him, a part of his past that he could cling to. It is during his time aligned to the Dark Side and the Krath that the ring was marred with battle damage and Ulic's own scratchings. It is unknown what he intended to do with the ring, but it was a constant part of his apparel throughout his tenure as a Sith Lord.

When rediscovered, the ring and chain had been restored to pristine condition, and it was kept in a sealed container of transparasteel and wood.

==Power==

The necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was with him through his path in the dark side. It was the constant reminder his life before his fall. His focus and obsession of keeping it with him throughout the end of his life. The constant contact gave the necklace interesting property of absorbing the feelings and thoughts of the user.

Due to the fact that Ulic spent a great deal of his time having this necklace represent his past life it began to absorb those parts of himself; The necklace was filled his pain, suffering, and hatred. It was believed that part of his return to the ways of the Jedi were due to the necklace absorbing and storing his dark side emotions. Moments of doubt about his life were occasionally pulled to the surface because it was absorbing that hatred allowing his other emotions to bubble to the surface.

This aspect had been demonstrated several times over the millennia with holders able to pour the emotional forces of the dark side into the necklace and become more strongly aligned with the light side. It is believed that the vessel can work the opposite way, allowing the user to store any feelings of mercy or doubts about the dark side into it.

This is particularly of interest to the Brotherhood as the fleeting emotions of compassion can weaken a user of the dark side. By storing memories and emotions that weaken the user. The intense focus and clarity that this gives will allow the user to fully realize their current abilities and power.

The necklace is simply a vessel which the wearer can store their feelings, thoughts and emotions into. There is no improvement of skills or natural ability, instead gives the clarity and focus needed to reach the wearers full potential. However this function can be incredibly useful and powerful to the wearer.

==Altar==

The Altar Area in which the Necklace of Qel-Droma was stored was pristine despite its clear ancient age. It was at the very end of a complicated and intricate carved maze system. The end of the maze housed the altar which was surrounded by four thick, cracked columns surrounded by white vines because of absence of light.

There was a fifth and sixth column that had collapsed because of natural earthquakes throughout the years. It was covered in dark green moss, nests from rodents were scattered around the floor against the side. Throughout the maze were also creature’s native to New Tython, skeletons of smaller animals littered the floor, marks on their bones suggested knowing and biting.

In dark corners, they would jump at the intruders of the Brotherhood, in their instinct the Jedi instilled for them to protect this artifact with their lives. When recovered by the Brotherhood, they had to climb walls in the maze had collapsed in various areas because of the earthquakes as well. The artifact was still in its sealed container of transparent steel wood box. The doorways to the center of the maze housing the stone were heat sensors.

This would send a primary signal to the guard to be aware of any other wires, but because there were animals within the maze, they had a secondary defense. Around the stone trapezoid, there were multiple laser wire trips to alert the guard. If anything was disturbed, it sent a signal immediately to the guard and the special task force. The box was then encased in a trapezoid tone. On the sides of this stone, green algae grew around the sides and corner, surprisingly avoiding the intricately carved words on the front face. The words on the stone face surrounding the box was a complicated riddle,

''I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?''

This riddle was very difficult because the mind leads directly to the Force as the answer to this riddle. Which in fact, it is not. The answer is the letter E in basic. If one answers the riddle correctly, the stone cracks and reveals the small box containing the ring. House Odan-Urr was in charge of guarding the artifact for its history.

They figured having part of it hidden, it would be alright because the artifact was locked in the box within the stone. Because of their responsibility over it, it is housed deep underground under their main temple. Very few have access to this area in the bowl of their quarters because the less people that knew of its existence the better. If the riddle was cracked and the stone burst, the transparent box was revealed holding the chain and ring.

There was always someone on guard duty in a secret area so that if the caves started to collapse, then Odan-Urr would be able to defend the artifact if the intruder was not crushed. After the Brotherhood recovered the artifact, the guard put out a call and summoned a special tactical unit hidden in some barracks near the entrance to the maze. With this call, the wall broke revealing a squad of highly trained Jedi with multiple battle droids. Their task; eliminate any intruders attempting to steal the artifact. A dramatic battle ensued for the ownership of this artifact.

==History==
The history of Ulic Qel-Droma necklace counts over four thousand years. There are some validated records about the history of the artifact, but a portion of information about it is based upon unconfirmed gossips and rumours.

===Beginnings===
{{Quote|Fior Go Bas - Faithful Unto Death|Major Lerak Sorotai}}

After losing the connection to the Force Ulic Qel-Droma fled to Rhen Var, where he found a shelter. Some time later, his location was discovered by young female Jedi, Vima Sunrider, who asked him to teach her the ways of the Jedi, as she was disappointed with the attitude of her mother, who did not have much time for her. Qel-Droma reluctantly agreed to do so. Finally, Vima’s mother, Nomi Sunrider, found them and tried to force her daughter to leave Vima’s new master.

Vima guided her mother to the sculptures of Arca Jeth and Andur Sunrider, where they talked about Qel-Droma and his teachings. However, in meanwhile the former Jedi was attacked by a Cathar Jedi, Sylvar, who hated him for the death of Sylvar’s lover. Still, Qel-Droma managed to convince his opponent to leave the anger and hatred. They both deactivated their lightsabers, but Ulic was deadly shot by a spacer, known as Hoggon.

Passing away, Ulic Qel-Droma gave his necklace to his student, Vima Sunrider, and called her a Jedi.

===Lost to History===
It is not very much known about the further history of the necklace. It is assumed that it was inherited by the descendants of Vima Sunrider for almost thousand years. They studied its powers and the ways to use the necklace. The owners of this artifact always claimed it to be the most valuable of all their possessions. It was so not because of its features, but due to the fact that it was regarded as the symbol of redemption. The history of its first owner, Ulc Qel-Droma, was told to every member of the Sunrider family, in order to prevent them from joining the Dark Side and to make sure that the others would never stop in their efforts to redeem their fallen relatives.

It is rumoured that some of the most powerful descendants of Vima Sunrider were able to add some of the powers to the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma or to strenghten and improve the already existing ones. However, there is no reliable source of information that could confirm these rumours and it cannot be determined if it is truth or not.

===New Tython===

It is not known how and when exactly was the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma brought to New Tython, which is now the homeworld of the Jedi of House Odan-Urr. However, it is suspected that Vima-Da-Boda, very distant descendant of Vima Sunrider and the member of the Jedi Order in the last century before the destruction of the Old Republic, decided to hide it in a safe location after the fall of her daughter to the Dark Side. It is believed that she hid the necklace on New Tython some time between the Great Jedi Purge and the colonization of the planet in the 3 ABY, when the planet was not inhabited by any colonists from the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.

===Rediscovery===

The artifact was rediscovered in early 34 ABY by the members of House Odan-Urr. It was found in a cave somewhere in the central mountain range of Owyhyee continent. They studied the necklace and discovered its special features. However, it made the leaders of the House keep it in the secret, hidden deep in the vault of Odan-Urr. They decided to hide it in order to protect less powerful Jedi from possible influence of the artifact and because they were afraid that the necklace could be of use for the Dark Jedi. However, the spies of the Dark Council managed to learn about the location of the artifact.

==Description==

The Necklace of Qel-Droma is, in fact, two separate parts, the union of which creates the artifact. A long strand of golden chain is looped through a ring and fastened at each end. The ring is the centerpiece of the necklace, as it holds the most significance to Ulic Qel-Droma.

The chain itself is made up of tightly interwoven strands of gold, linked together in a long chain. Each weave has three strands, strengthening the each chain link. Each link in the chain is tiny, barely three millimeters, creating another level of intricacy. Due to the natural weakness of gold, the strands are an alloy of carbon, iron, silver and gold. All these elements create a strong bond, but with the malleability of a softer metal. Because of this, the chain is comfortable to wear and has a soft skin feeling.

The ring is an important part of Qel-Droma's life and his heart. Originally presented to Nomi Sunstrider as a gift, it was not accepted, because she could see the Dark Side starting to take hold over him. By not accepting the ring, she protected herself from whatever the Dark side of him had in store. It was considered by some historians that this event only helped to fuel his fall from the Light side.

Though the ring has been altered over time, it's original design is still known. A simple gold alloy, similar to that used for the chain, but with more silver, creating a white gold effect. This contrasts well with the gold of the chain, even though the original pieces were separate, and were joined sometime during Qel-Droma's life. The alloy is also far stronger than the alloy of the chain, thereby creating a stiffer ring, with little give. It is considered that this 'feature' of the ring was Qel-Droma's rebellion against the ways of the Jedi, and their restrictive rules.

The ring is rounded, with a thin bevel on the edges. The bevel cuts slightly into the rounded portion of the ring, creating a stretched Omega when looking at the cross-section. This design feature creates a shadowing effect in bright light situations by reflecting light towards the central portion of the ring. In this same vain, colored light can also be reflected, creating a dazzling fade of color.

The bevel creates two thin lines which runs the circumference of the ring, running parallel to each other. Right at the center of the ring, a narrow groove runs parallel to the other two. This center feature is a deep inlay of another material. Thin shavings of Corusca gems pressed into the gap create a garden-of-crystal effect when looking into the crevice. The Corusca gem is one of the most valued precious gems in the galaxy, sought after for its beauty. It would have taken an artisan a very long time to create this groove, with the gem shavings. This feature also increases the market value of the ring as a piece of jewelry.

The intervening surface of gold has a rough texture. This texture is not from the ring being unfinished, but was an intended feature of the item. Carefully ground areas have a rough, but uniform feeling as one runs one's finger over it. This texture creates pockets of shading throughout the metal of the outer side of the ring.

On the inside of the band, the metal is clean and polished to a brilliance. There is a small inscription found here, naming the intended, Nomi Sunstrider, etched in Ulic's own handwriting. The letters were then 'dressed' with silver, making them stand out to the eye of a viewer.

It was only after Ulic's fall to the Dark Side that the ring and chain were combined. It acted as an anchor for him, a part of his past that he could cling to. It is during his time aligned to the Dark Side and the Krath that the ring was marred with battle damage and Ulic's own scratchings. It is unknown what he intended to do with the ring, but it was a constant part of his apparel throughout his tenure as a Sith Lord.

When rediscovered, the ring and chain had been restored to pristine condition, and it was kept in a sealed container of transparasteel and wood.

It is believed that the vessel can work the opposite way, allowing the user to store any feelings of mercy or doubts about the dark side into it.

This is particularly of interest to the Brotherhood as the fleeting emotions of compassion can weaken a user of the dark side. By storing memories and emotions that weaken the user. The intense focus and clarity that this gives will allow the user to fully realize their current abilities and power.

The necklace is simply a vessel which the wearer can store their feelings, thoughts and emotions into. There is no improvement of skills or natural ability, instead gives the clarity and focus needed to reach the wearers full potential. However this function can be incredibly useful and powerful to the wearer.

The 991st Special Warfare Company, also known as the Reapers, is an elite military unit assigned to the Dark Council. It is comprised of four platoon-sized units, each having been designed and constructed to perform a specific task, role or mission. Along with these units, four sections of specialized troops, and one drop ship sqadron,are attached to the 991st to be used as needed.

== Unit History ==

=== History ===
{{Quote|Fior Go Bas - Faithful Unto Death|Major Lerak Sorotai}}

At the highest levels of power, it quickly becomes evident that there are fewer people who can be trusted. This is a fact the Grand Master is all too familiar with. That truth was also the reason the Reapers were initially created.

The Reapers were formed in 30ABY under the rule of Darth Ashen, and report directly to the Iron Throne. They have no ties to Clan or House. Every member has been tried and tested in the crucible of war and their loyalty remains unyielding.

The Reapers do not seek glory or fame. They are largely unknown outside the circle of the Dark Council. They are the ones that are most frequently the first in and the last out. They are the ones the Grand Master calls upon when no one else can be trusted to do the job.

Their formation gave the Grand Master an effective force at his beck and call without having to rely on the cooperation of the Clans and Houses.

=== Training ===
{{Quote|Your best is only good enough if it’s better than the rest|Major Lerak Sorotai}}

Each member of the Reapers was handpicked because of their exemplary records of outstanding service, or because they showed exceptionally high potential. Once part of the unit, they are committed to a strict regimen of training.

The Reapers constantly strive to maintain their standards of excellence. Their training includes both mental and physical challenges to hone each member into the best they can possibly be. Their regimen also focuses on the highly coordinated teamwork that makes them so efficient and successful.

There is no competition of egos; there is no reward for unnecessary heroics. Each member is reminded frequently that they are part of a team, a cohesive unit, and are responsible for doing their part in every operation or exercise.

=== Philosophy ===
{{Quote|Duty does not require understanding. Don’t question your orders, you follow them and do your job|Corporal Coryn Vance}}

The core philosophy of the Reapers is summed up quite well in their motto, Fior Go Bas- Faithful unto Death. They do not back down from any challenge, and they do whatever is necessary to accomplish whatever mission the Grand Master sends them on. They are always ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Loyalty, both to the Grand Master, and to each other, is deeply ingrained in every member. Surrender, retreat, and failure are not acceptable options. The Reapers pride themselves on their dedication and skill in serving the Iron Throne.

== Standard Equipment and Armor==
As the elite unit attached to the Dark Council and carrying out orders of the [[Grand Master]] or the [[Deputy Grand Master]] themselves, this group is equipped with the best equipment currently available. It is noteworthy that different sections of the platoon receive different set of equipment, depending on their profiles.

===Assault Infrantry===

This section of the unit is designed for typical assault missions. Thus, while the equipment of the unit itself may be referred as ‘elite’, this section is equipped with the most average weaponry.

Each soldier carries slightly modified [[starwars:A280 blaster rifle|A280 blaster rifle]] with a grenade launcher attached. Standard belt equipment of assault infantry section includes also five additional energy cells for the A280 blaster rifle, three [[starwars:thermal detonator|thermal detonators]] and standard devices for short and long distance communication. When necessary, soldiers of assault infantry wear black armor manufactured from self-repairing material called [[starwars:laminanium|laminanium]].

In the backpacks, members of assault infantry section carried additional [[starwars:energy cell|energy cells]] and both anti-infantry and anti-tank mines. In addition to that, as part of the elite unit, they were allowed to include any necessary equipment.

===Rangers / Scouts===

This section of the unit is responsible for reconnaissance missions and guerrilla fighting. The type of the main missions is reflected by section’s standard equipment.

As far as weapons are concerned, scouts are equipped with WESTAR-M6 blaster rifle, which is the successor of [[starwars:WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle|WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle]]. It has been redesigned in order to get a silenced weapon, which may utilize different add-ons, like grenade launcher.

In addition to that, standard equipment of a scout trooper includes three mines and a set of hand-held scanners and detectors, which allow to gather various information about the surroundings. Advanced communication devices allow to transmit encrypted data directly from the scanners. Scouts’ standard equipment contains also hacking devices.

Scouts do not wear armor, which would limit their movement abilities, as they rely on agility instead of armor protection. Instead of armor they prefer Chameleon Suit, which allows them to remain invisible under certain circumstances.

===Commandos===

Members of commando team is usually tasked with infiltration and other types of crucial, but delicate missions. Thus, they are equipped with the most advanced masterpieces of weaponry and equipment.

The most common weapon among members of the commando team is DC-20d Interchangeable Weapon System. Developed from the [[starwars:DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System|DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System]], it is very similar to its predecessor, as it provides great flexibility with exchangeable add-ons. It makes this blaster rifle very useful in the eyes of commando team.

In addition to that, soldiers of commando team are equipped with Chameleon Armour, which provides both protection and camouflage, adapting itself to the surroundings. It is not perfect, as its camouflage abilities are useful only, when its wearers remain with no move. However, it also includes variety of scanners and a kind of HUD, which displays information about the distance to target, size of objects, differences in height, weather forecast and life signs in the surroundings. It also allows to see in the night-vision and the ultraviolet.

===Snipers===

Dedicated to the motto: “One shot, one kill”, snipers are specialists in long-ranged fighting, what is reflected with the suitable equipment.

In the matter of weaponry, members of snipers section carried DX-12 sniper rifle. Based on [[starwars:Verpine sniper rifle|Verpine sniper rifle]], it works in similar way and provides enough firepower to severely hurt even heavily armored targets. DX-12 is not only weapon of snipers. In case of being detected, they carry [[starwars:E-19 blaster rifle|E-19 blaster rifles]].

Other equipment of snipers includes two thermal grenades and advanced optic systems, which allow to observe targets from long distances. They also wear Chameleon Suit in order to protect themselves against observers.

===Heavy weapons===
“Blast’em up!” says their motto and their equipment is perfect reflection of their fighting policy.

Their standard weapons are [[starwars:MiniMag PTL missile launcher|MiniMag PTL missile launchers]], [[starwars:Thermal Detonator Launcher| Thermal Detonator Launchers]], [[starwars:EMP launcher|EMP launchers]] and other similar weapons. In addition to that, they carry numerous thermal detonators, anti-infantry and anti-tank mines, as well as sets of high-explosives. When necessary, members of heavy weapons squad utilized [[starwars:Merr-Sonn Mobile Grenade Mortar|Merr-Sonn Mobile Grenade Mortar]].

Other equipment included standard communication devices, binoculars and DC-20d Interchangeable Weapon System for self-defense.

===Vehicles===

Due to limited amount of space in vehicles, members of this section use very basic equipment. Main difference between them and assault infantry is that they utilize [[Starwars:DC-15S blaster|DC-15S blaster]] instead of [[starwars:A280 blaster rifle|A280 blaster rifle]]. It is so, because DC-15S blaster is shorter than most of blaster rifles.

===Drop ship crew===

Due to very specific tasks carried out by the drop ship crews, its members use very basic equipment, including [[Starwars:E-15 Blaster Rifle|E-15 blaster rifles]].

===Headquarters===

The role of headquarters is much different than of other sections of the unit. They are to analyze current tactical situation and to adjust orders and tactics to new circumstances. That is why members of the HQ are equipped with the most advanced scanners, communication devices and equipment to display tactical status.

However, their equipment includes also large variety of weapons, ranging from short range blaster pistols and blaster rifles to heavy weapons and thermal detonators. It is so in order to provide them protection against any possible enemies, who might discover their location.
