| | == Current Storyline == |
| | The current storyline picks up following the Sixteenth Great Jedi War, which saw the forces of the Brotherhood face off against [[The Children of Mortis]] in an ethereal plane of existence. This conflict ended with the Brotherhood’s victory, and the Children retreating to lick their wounds. |
| | |
| | === Resource Rush === |
| | The months following the Sixteenth Great Jedi War were some of the most peaceful that the Brotherhood has ever seen. It was a time of rebuilding forces, training, strengthing, and independence for the clans. |
| | |
| | The Brotherhood’s closest allies, [[The Severian Principate]] had spent the last years growing rapidly, as their peaceful approach gained more and more popularity. In addition to their trio of core leaders, a new body, The Council of Systems, had formed so that each of their 16 systems had a voice. |
| | |
| | However peace only goes so far, and many raider attacks occurred in their systems. Their reliance solely on the Brotherhood for defense had to come to an end. In conjunction with the Brotherhood, a project was put into place to gather rare resources, research new technologies, build new ships and weapons, and train the next generation of soldiers. Both would prosper from this growth and stability. |

| == Current Storyline: Fictional Recap == | | The Children of Mortis had vanished, seemingly into thin air. Haunted by taunts from [[Telaris_"Mav"_Cantor|predecessor]] the Grand Master [[Evant_Taelyan|Darth Nehalem]] ordered the construction of a great gateway,that, utilizing the power of force-imbued crystals, would lead the way to fight the Children, and allow him to destroy the former Grand Master at the same time. |
| | |
| | Upon completion, the entire forces of the Brotherhood, and its seven clans ventured into the [[Ethereal Realm]], where time, gravity, Force abilities, and even the long dead followed new rules. Darth Nehalem found the former Grand Master and abandoned his post leading the Brotherhood’s forces to attempt to kill him. |
| | |
| | Hoping to use the conflict, the Children’s leader, the Father, began a ritual to destroy the chain of the Force, a manifestation of the binding of the Force and the real world together. Attempting to sacrifice Avitus Oligard in the process, it was a race against time. |
| | |
| | Ultimately the Brotherhood prevailed. The Father’s new body was killed, and his spirit returned to the crystalline skeleton that housed it for so many ages. Avitus Oligard was saved and allowed to leave in peace. The Children of Mortis retreated into shadow. The Brotherhood retreated, sealing the still dueling Darth Nehalem and Telaris Cantor in the ethereal realm, fates left to the will of the force. |
| | |
| | Dacien Victae was appointed the new Grand Master of the Brotherhood. |

| | [[File:Arx-system.png|left|130px]] |
| | The '''[[Arx System]]''' is located in the depths of Wild Space, far away from the core worlds and isolated from the galaxy at large. The planet Arx now serves as the current seat of power for the Brotherhood. The Council oversees the Brotherhood from the headquarters known as ''The Ascent'', which is located in Eos City. |

| | |
| | |
| | |
| | ==== The Council ==== |

| {{Quote| A decisive blow has been struck in the ongoing battle between the Brotherhood and the Collective. With the death of the Technocratic Guild leader known as Daggo Mouk—and the loss of Meridian Space Station—the Collective have scaled back their harassment of the Brotherhood. We harbor no illusions that Rath Oligard and his followers would ever abandon their cause to rid the Galaxy of Force Users, but their withdrawal has given the Dark Council some much needed breathing room to reinforce their hold on their respective territories. Of course, nothing is ever that simple.<br><br>The continued conflicts with the Collective—combined with meeting the material needs of the Dark Council's new home world, fleet, and personnel—has stretched the Regent's finances thin. In response, Arx Capital Exchange launched a new business venture to monetize the research, hunting, transportation, and care of rare and exotic beasts from Tooka’s to Rancor’s. While the business venture has spurred a spike in commerce in the Brotherhood's favors, creature trade and entertainment cannot provide new shipyards or consumable resources to fuel a fleet. <br><br>That's where the latest advanced scouting reports comes in to make things interesting. According to Meridian Station operators, a new faction has made its presence known in Hutt space. They call themselves the Severian Principate, an Imperial remnant group that seems to represent the opposite of the more radical ideology of the First Order or even the Collective. This group has the potential to be the trade partner and ally the Brotherhood desperately needs. They could also become yet another threat for us to face. <br><br> Like I said, nothing is ever that simple.|[[Ness'arin Ohnaka]], Director of the [[Inquisitorius]] 37 ABY}}

| | ===== Master at Arms ===== |
| | [[File:Howladerheadshot.png|left|130px]] |
| | '''[[Howlader]]''' serves as the current [[Master at Arms]]. He is rarely seen in his office, but his work always seems to get done. Overseeing the ceremony and record keeping of the Brotherhood’s dossiers, Howlader’s allegiance seems to be more to the position he holds than to any one leader or even his home unit. |

| '''Summary:
| |
| '''
| |
|
| |
|
| ''With the crushing loss of Technocratic Guild leader Daggo Mouk—and the subsequent seizing of Meridian Station—the Brotherhood has forced Rath Oligard to reconsider his strategies against the Brotherhood. The mastermind behind the Collective had not predicated a demonstration of unity—frail as it might have been—between the disparate and often volatile clans and the Dark Council. Oligard realized that different strategies would be needed to accomplish his goals.
| |
|
| |
|
| ''Meanwhile, with the Collective now in recession, the Brotherhood has begun to raise its head as a power to be recognized and respected within the Unknown Regions. Thanks to the resources provided by their home planet, Arx, the Dark Council continues to expand trade and commerce while establishing loose order with the Clans.
| |
| ''
| |
|
| |
|
| ''No success comes without its risks, of course. Tensions still run high between the Dark Council and the Clans, and reports indicate that there might be more than just the Collective that could be lurking in the shadows to challenge the Brotherhood...''

The enigmatically eccentric, ever-endearing Seneschal heads up the Brotherhood’s Research and Development and also maintains sovereignty over cyber security thanks to his unique artificial intelligence, Construct [[Dbbot|dbb0t]]. James has a penchant for riddles and rarely involves himself in political matters, claiming to serve the Brotherhood and the Galaxy at large. He is most often left to his own devices out of both respect and fear. |

| |
|
| |
|
| * Archenskov, as the new Combat Master, takes stock of the Combat Training Center facilities.
| |
| * Nearby, at the Shadow Academy, we are introduced the Acquisitions wing where artifacts and relics brought back from expeditions are checked in for processing.
| |
| * Vera Wright, an ACE pilot who was injured in a bout with the Collective prior to the attack on Meridian, is fully recovered and back to escorting Shadow Academy agents on shipping routes. With the Collective pulled back, for now, the routes have been much safer. Members voted on a #VeraLives vs #VeraDies newspost thread and the former won out.
| |
| * Vance Kordall, previously a captive of the Collective after hunting down an artifact in the Kessel Sector, is also looking to be recovered and back on the job.
| |
| * Vera and Vance meet TC-42, a protocol droid tasked with monitoring incoming deliveries for the Shadow Academy Society.
| |
| * Vance mentions finding a rare journal belonging to Veris Hydan, a man who worked with Emperor Palpatine during the early days of the Rebellion and was obsessed with the “World beyond worlds” that could lead to such things as time travel.
| |
| * He asks to speak to Madame Curator Deandria Clery — the master archivist for the Brotherhood. Kind of like the DB’s version of Jocsta Nu.
| |
| * Vance gets rejected at the open net by Vera. Swallow sadness.
| |
| * Meanwhile,Evant and Marick are looking over reports in the Voice’s office nested within the Dark Ascent.
| |
| * Marick is “pacing”, frustrated and concerned in his own way that the Collective have been so quiet since Meridian.
| |
| * Evant says that it’s probably a good thing and recaps a bit of what happened as a result of Meridian (the last RoS).
| |
| * Meridian was handed over to the Clans, but is also serving as a Inquisitorius outpost. It was damaged, so repairs are still being worked on.
| |
| * Evant is happy that trade routes seem to be safer now, since the CEO of ACE is being slightly less annoying about profits.
| |
| * Marick notices something in the reports from Meridian. Captain Crimson, the poster mascot for the Liberation Front (Collective pillar) is meeting with an unknown third party.
| |
| * Neither Evant or Marick have heard about something called the “Sevarian Principate”.
| |
| * To be continued...

| |
| * On Meridian Prime, the identity of the Severian Principate and its home within the Kastolar Sector is discussed by Qaanlug Vlux and Damien Blackadder- agents of the Arx Capital Exchange and Shroud Syndicate, respectively.
| |
| * Director Ness’arin Ohnaka gives the Inquisitorious’ seal of approval to allow ACE and Shroud merchants and traders to forge contacts and open business transactions with the Severian Principate in order to marginalize the Collective’s influence within the breakaway Imperial polity.
| |
| * The Regent and Rhent Ghosan discuss the depleting financial assets of the Brotherhood and the impact of the war with the Collective. A possible solution takes shape requiring the efforts of the Shroud Syndicate, the Arx Capital Exchange, and the Inquisitorious deep within the Severian Principate.

| '''Summary:
| |
| '''
| |
| * Dacien (Bubba), Howlader, Selika, join Seraphol for a drink on the Shadow Academy platform orbiting Arx, discussing the addition of Clan Vizsla to the Brotherhood’s ranks.
| |
| * Dacien is optimistic, Selika has her doubts, and Howie is annoyed he has to learn new names and do more paperwork.
| |
| * Meanwhile, Evant has been called to the Throne Room to meet with the Grand Master...in private.
| |
| * Grand Master Telaris tells Evant that Morgan is being sent away on a top secret mission of importance to the Brotherhood. This leaves him with needing a right-hand man.
| |
| * Evant is offered Deputy Grand Master. At first he is shocked, having been content with Regent, but then agrees on the spot.
| |
| * When someone asks if you’re a god, you say yes?
| |
| * Evant is told that he leaves right away with a group of representatives from each of the Clans to go on a diplomatic meeting with the [[Severian Principate]]
| |
| * Evant sasses the GM and throws shade at Morgan running off. Telaris is not amused and dismissed Evant to go get to work.
| |
| * In the Mid Rim sector of Kastolar, we get our first look at the [[Severin Principates]] headquarters on the planet *Sirmium*.
| |
| * It’s an oceanic world with a flat landing platform that lowers into a secret underwater Imperial mansion.
| |
| * We are introduced to the Triumvirate of the [[Severian Principate]]
| |
| * They talk amongst each other, and we get an idea of how the three think of/respect one another. Adlez, Twi’lek, is the older, wisened one. Vairya, Human, is younger and more cheerfully optimistic. Kamlin, Mirilan, is more reserved and pragmatic.
| |
| * All three women have earned their place atop this organization and should not be trifled with.
| |
| * Aemilius Crassus, Pwimtar Takrid, Harvey Daley are the three emissaries chosen to represent the Severian Principate in meeting with the Brotherhood.
| |
| * Aemilius is a Munn, Pwimtar a Quarren, and Harvey a human. #diversity
| |
| * The Triumvirate gives a briefing on what they know of the Brotherhood. Keep in mind, this is their perspective of what *they* know of *us*. They do not know the finer details of the DC’s relation with each unit or the drama’s therein.
| |
| * The Principate assumes that Morgan Sorrenn is going to be the Deputy Grand Master that they are meeting.
| |
| * Little do they know that instead of a Pirate Queen, they are getting Darth Logistics (Evant).
| |
| * Meanwhile, back on Arx, Atra is told by Telaris that he is now in charge of all the clubs finances, trade, and commerce as the new Regent.
| |
| * Telaris reveals that Dracryis has also stepped down as Fist. That said, one does not simply walk away from that kind of role/responsibility. Telaris makes him a Magistrate to keep an eye on him.
| |
| * The new Fist is revealed to Alaris Jinn.
| |
| * Alaris is met by Voice Marick Tyris. The two exchange polite nods (as is tradition).
| |
| * Outside the Dark Ascent, Wally sneaks in a Pride flag. #dealwithit #starwarsisforeveryone.
| |
| * Alaris is to report to Lena Rhell (head of the Navy) and Damon Nix (head of the ground forces and personnel) to get caught up to speed on being Fist.
| |
| * Marick apparently does not seem to appreciate Turbolift shafts.
| |
| * Alaris is ready to play the game of thrones. (Hopefully with better writing than Season 8).

Current Storyline
The current storyline picks up following the Sixteenth Great Jedi War, which saw the forces of the Brotherhood face off against The Children of Mortis in an ethereal plane of existence. This conflict ended with the Brotherhood’s victory, and the Children retreating to lick their wounds.
Resource Rush
The months following the Sixteenth Great Jedi War were some of the most peaceful that the Brotherhood has ever seen. It was a time of rebuilding forces, training, strengthing, and independence for the clans.
The Brotherhood’s closest allies, The Severian Principate had spent the last years growing rapidly, as their peaceful approach gained more and more popularity. In addition to their trio of core leaders, a new body, The Council of Systems, had formed so that each of their 16 systems had a voice.
However peace only goes so far, and many raider attacks occurred in their systems. Their reliance solely on the Brotherhood for defense had to come to an end. In conjunction with the Brotherhood, a project was put into place to gather rare resources, research new technologies, build new ships and weapons, and train the next generation of soldiers. Both would prosper from this growth and stability.
Previous Storyline: Fictional Recap
The Children of Mortis had vanished, seemingly into thin air. Haunted by taunts from predecessor the Grand Master Darth Nehalem ordered the construction of a great gateway,that, utilizing the power of force-imbued crystals, would lead the way to fight the Children, and allow him to destroy the former Grand Master at the same time.
Upon completion, the entire forces of the Brotherhood, and its seven clans ventured into the Ethereal Realm, where time, gravity, Force abilities, and even the long dead followed new rules. Darth Nehalem found the former Grand Master and abandoned his post leading the Brotherhood’s forces to attempt to kill him.
Hoping to use the conflict, the Children’s leader, the Father, began a ritual to destroy the chain of the Force, a manifestation of the binding of the Force and the real world together. Attempting to sacrifice Avitus Oligard in the process, it was a race against time.
Ultimately the Brotherhood prevailed. The Father’s new body was killed, and his spirit returned to the crystalline skeleton that housed it for so many ages. Avitus Oligard was saved and allowed to leave in peace. The Children of Mortis retreated into shadow. The Brotherhood retreated, sealing the still dueling Darth Nehalem and Telaris Cantor in the ethereal realm, fates left to the will of the force.
Dacien Victae was appointed the new Grand Master of the Brotherhood.

Devoted to improving the lives of his citizens and secretly allying with the smugglers and pirates from the nearby Hutt Space, he sought to create an ordered state free of the tyranny which inspired the Rebellion.
It has largely grown beyond that initial vision, seeking to focus on peace and alliances to bring prosperity to its 16 different star systems.
