==History==

A gift from [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]] unto his [[starwars:Palace Guard|Palace Guard]] - Scholae Palatinae - the Stormtroopers were a power to be reckoned with; utilized as defenders of [[starwars:Byss|Byss]] & the military might of the Dark [[Lord]]. When the Reborn [[Dark Lord of the Sith]] was slain a second time, Byss shattered in the process, the Palace Guard extracted itself, taking the valuable military Legions in their [[Exodus]]. 

Under the wisdom of Emperor Dakari, the Legions were re-activated during the [[Sixth Great Jedi War]]. A move meant to help counter the [[Clan]]'s sudden spiral into the sixth, and final, placing amongst the Clans. With, then Grand Marshall, [[Braecen Kaeth|Braecen Kaeth's]] assistance, Dakari was able to organize his military force into a fast moving, easy to deploy unit that helped the ailing Clan surge from oblivion into an honorable Fourth Overall finish.

The soldiers of The Black Legion were a crucial element in the defense of the Red Faction's ground assault upon the surface of [[Antei]] - the first attempt to secure the throne world of the Brotherhood. The 303rd Infantry Legion was, primarily, responsible for the designated firing zone 'Echo' or FZ020. Tasked with engaging the vaunted forces of Arcona - a rival [[Clan]] in the [[Dark Brotherhood]] - they succeeded in securing the Allied Forces Landing Zone and thwarting the enemy forces. Grasping an elusive victory for [[Scholae Palatinae]] that allowed the Royal Clan to secure their position - in this battle - from [[Clan Arcona]].

At the conclusion of the Great War the 9th Legion - The Black Legion - were assigned to the Eclipse Regiment; previously known as the Dorimid Sol Defense Regiment. The unit is oft regarded as inactive, due to its corresponding [[House]] being off-line; however, unlike its namesake, the Grand Marshall and [[Consul]] deemed it necessary to keep the unit in prime, working order. 

==Personas==

*'''Species:''' [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]
*'''Sex:''' Male
*'''Height:''' 5 Foot, 9 Inches
*'''Weight:''' 183 Pounds

Malacrasta is the Commanding Officer of the 303rd Infantry; a post held since the dawn of the [[Fifth Great Jedi War]]. He is egocentric, or self-centered, and known as an overly rude man. It is believed this rudeness stems from his belief that he is better at most things than any individual, especially women.

===Sergeant Adovardo Cilyanka===

*'''Sex:''' Male
*'''Height:''' 6 Foot
*'''Weight:''' 439 Pounds
*'''Skin Color:''' Orange (blue stripes)
*'''Eye Color:''' Black

[[Commander]] of the 7th Platoon of Charlie Company, the Houk is known to be headstrong and fearless. Though most assume this is based on his impressive size, it is actually a bi-product of many successful campaigns as a soldier in the Scholae Palatinae Legions. One distinguishing mark is a long scar that runs from the bottom of his left ear down his throat.

==Equipment==

Vastly different from its predecessors produced upon Kamino, the Stormtroopers of Scholae Palatinae are molded in Imperial fashion. Removed is the inferior equipment, color markings and [[starwars:Jango Fett|Jango Fett]] clones - this is a new generation of enforcers, tied to a new Emperor's will. Their equipment has been vastly improved and their armor lacks traditional markings, conforming to the protocol of unity begat under Darth Sidious.
