| | == 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. |
|
| |
|
| * The current [[Voice]] is [[Marick Tyris]].
| | === 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 current [[Combat Master]] is [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/14287 Archenskov].
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| <br>
| | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | |
| | The following data bank provides a quick reference to information about persons, locations, and organizations of interest that show up in the Brotherhood storyline. |
| | |
| | === The Brotherhood === |
| | ==== The Arx System ==== |
| | [[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 ==== |
| | [[File:Darkcouncildblogo.png|left|130px]] |
| | '''The [[Dark Council|Council]]''' serves the Grand Master of the Brotherhood, and governs the various elements of the Brotherhood including, training, resources, intelligence, and the military. There are ten positions, including the Grand Master. They work alongside the [[Justicar]] as the overseers for the entire Brotherhood. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | ===== Grand Master ===== |
| | [[File:Dacienheadshot.png|left|130px]] '''[[Dacien Victae|Lord Dacien Victae]]''' serves as the current [[Grand Master]]. The Grand Master occupies the '''The Iron Throne''', which is the seat of power for the Brotherhood. They control the Council, as well as the combined [[Iron Forces]]. Following a long career on the Council, Dacien Victae seized control after abandoning Darth Nehalem in the Ethereal Realm. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | ===== Deputy Grand Master ===== |
| | [[File:AtraHeadshot.png|left|130px]] |
| | '''[[Thane Skotos|Thane "Atra" Skotos]]'' (also known as Darth Renatus)' serves as the current [[Deputy Grand Master]], right hand of the Grand Master. Following his terms as both Regent and Justicar, Darth Renatus helps maintain the Brotherhood's control over its space. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | ===== 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. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | ===== Seneschal ===== |
| | [[File:James-wiki.png|left|130px]] |

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. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | ===== Headmaster ===== |
| | [[File:Rhy-wiki.jpg|left|130px]] '''[[Rhylance]]''' serves as the current [[Headmaster]] of the Brotherhood.

| {{Quote|Following the [[Twelfth Great Jedi War]] and the Battle for Nancora, Darth Pravus's departure from the Brotherhood left more questions than answers hanging in the air. How would Grand Master Telaris Cantor's reign differ from Pravus' New Order, and how much would remain unchanged? Whatever the answers might be, the War taught us one harsh lesson: the Brotherhood is not as safe or secure as we once believed it. With only six clans remaining, The Collective have shown themselves to be a true threat. Even with their defeat, they do not seem deterred from their pursuit of purging the Brotherhood from the Galaxy. We will not win this fight alone or divided. As my duty as Master Archivist comes to and end, however, the rest of this story will fall to the next Headmaster. May the Force guide us forward into a stronger Brotherhood. |[[Farrin Xies]], [[Headmaster]] Emeritus, 36 ABY}}

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.
