The Grand Master's Royal Guard is an organization dedicated to training, equipping, and bringing together the elite warriors of the Clans of the Brotherhood to take on the most sensitive and dangerous missions. While the modern Guard carries the lineage and history of its prior incarnations, its mission has shifted from honor guard to elite strike force.

The GMRG is tasked with rooting out threats to the Brotherhood that are too small for a pitched military engagement but too difficult for even the most well-trained special operations soldiers to handle. Members may involve themselves for various reasons (honor, duty, credits, boredom, the challenge of it, etc.) The reward for service is elite training and access to top-of-the-line equipment. Members of the Guard have storied individual careers as members of their clan or as rogue members of the Brotherhood but can be called upon to assemble and form cross-unit strike teams.

History of the Guard

Under the influence of the former Grand Master known as "the Other", Clan Ar'kell staged a massive revolt in an attempt to overthrow the Dark Council. Their first attempt was to strike out at individual Council members. Fortunately, Ar'kell was driven back and fled to the Core to form their own splinter organization. It was their assassination attempts that led Khyronto form the Grand Master's Royal Guard. An elite sect of Dark Jedi soldiers, trained and conditioned to be peerless protectors of the reigning Dark Lord and his Council. Initial training was conducted under the supervision of Master Blazer, a loyal servant of the Brotherhood and a powerful warrior.

As the Grand Masters Royal Guard progressed, the warriors leading the Guard became less capable and training began to become inefficient. The Royal Guard became more of a volunteer corps rather than an elite organization with wearing the famed armor becoming the only true motivation for hopeful Guardsman. When Grand Master Sarin saw the Guard's loyalty as questionable and realized the quality of training fading, he decided to put an end to the organization shortly before the Eighth Great Jedi War on Antei in 21 ABY. Many scholars believe that if the Royal Guard had not been dissolved thatGrand Master Sarin would not have died needlessly in the sands of Antei during the Ninth Great Jedi War while fighting Jedi Master Omancor Crask in 24 ABY.

Shortly after these events and his ascension to the Iron Throne, Grand Master Muz Ashen,recognized the need for a new Royal Guard. The Dark Lord, along with Headmaster Taigikori Aybara Dupar and the Grand Master’s Fist Ma`ar-Tyrius Ga-Tir, reinstated a brutal training ground on Lyspair so that the Royal Guard lived once again. In 28 ABY, Fremoc Pepoi took over the guard as Ma'ar stepped away, and within the year Fremoc moved the Guard to Antei at The Spike to be closer to the Dark Hall and the members it was protecting.

In 32 ABY Valhavoc noticed that while members of the Royal Guard would aggressively climb through the ranks, upon reaching the top Echelon the motivation for additional growth seemed to dissipate. Working with Grand Master Pravus, he implemented a training system which challenged members of the top Rank to compete for the opportunity to guard a Dark Councilor, and commissioned rewards to be crafted by the Herald to be given to individuals who have earned this distinct privilege, by excelling beyond their peers in their martial combat prowess.

When Valhvaoc resigned his position as Fist of the Brotherhood in 34 ABY, Pravus turned to one of his most promising pupils to rise to the role. Dracaryis was not only suddenly responsible for overseeing the Royal Guard, but also tasked with becoming the Supreme Commander of the Iron Navy and Legion.

Following the costly wars against the Collective and the Children of Mortis, Rajhin Cindertail saw the need to once again reform the Royal Guard, moving from its historical focus on guarding members of the Council to an elite strike force composed of members from across the Brotherhood. It is hoped that this new Guard, drawing its members from the various clans and rogue members, will represent the strength of a free and united Brotherhood.

Guard Training

Main Article: The Crucible

The Grand Master’s Royal Guard trains in tactics and use of their special equipment in the simulated battlefields of the Crucible on Arx.

Council Guardsman

Members of the Brotherhood have long participated in contests of skill and prowess to earn an honorary selection to the Grand Master’s Royal Guard. At the start of each quarter of a given galactic standard year, the top ten members of the Grand Master’s Royal Guard are able to select a member of the Council they wish to serve. These elite Guardsmen are given daring and sensitive missions by their councilors. By tradition, Guardsmen who serve in this way are given a token from their chosen councilor.

GMRG Mechanics

At the start of each quarter (January 1st, April 1st, July 1st, and October 1st) the Clusters of Fire, Clusters of Earth, and placement in Fist-run gaming competitions earned by all Rank VI(6) and above members will be tallied. The top ten members on the leaderboard will be the Guardsmen assigned to the Councilors for the next quarter. Guardsmen will get to choose their Councilor assignments in order of who earned the highest GMRG Score during the quarter. A special Trophy will be earned for the member who places first overall and the members who place in the remaining top 10 spots. At the end of the Quarter the process will repeat, and new Dark Council Guardsmen will be assigned, however past Guardsmen will get to keep their Council Guardsman Accessories permanently.

Note: Guardsmen will be assigned the Accessory of the Councilor who is holding the position at the time of selection. If a new Councilor is appointed their Accessory will be awarded at the start of the next quarter. Members will not be awarded two Councilor Accessories in one quarter.

Note: Council Guardsman Accessories will be unique to each member who holds a Council Position, if a new Councilor is appointed a new Accessory will be created by the Herald with the input of the new Councilor after they have served for 3 months on the Council.

-The [[Grand Master's Royal Guard]] was a society formed by [[Lord Khyron]] shortly after an altercation with a rebel [[Clan]] known as Ar'Kell. Khyron felt it was necessary to form an elite corps of body guards, in the same vain as Palpatine's Imperial Royal Guards, to protect the Council from devious plots and assassination attempts. The Guard served in this capacity under many different leaders, with many different concepts of protection, until the society was closed in [[26 ABY to Present|26 ABY]] by [[Sarin|Grand Master Sarin]]. In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]] [[Muz Ashen]] reinstated the Royal Guard under his new [[Fist of the Brotherhood]] [[Ma`ar-Tyrius Ga-Tir]]. In 35 ABY, after [[Fremoc Pepoi Sadow]] took over as the guard's leader, he moved the headquarters from the Shadow Academy, to [[The Spike]] on Antei.

-[[File:Gm_royal_guard.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Two guardsmen train]] Training in the Royal Guard was divided into tiered combat levels known as Circles. Each circle was comprised of six members, with the most experienced member called a Preceptor. The Preceptor was tasked with overseeing the training of the other five members, known as Neophytes. Neophytes would cycle through different circles once they had learned all they could from a Preceptor.
-Guardsman were taught several disciplines, but their focus was mainly on personal combat. As the last line of defense for the Grand Master, each member was expected to perform beyond excellent and so they trained themselves, physically and mentally, every day. Lightsaber combat featured predominately over the other disciplines, and all training was conducted with live weaponry.
+When Valhvaoc resigned his position as Fist of the Brotherhood in 34 ABY, Pravus turned to one of his most promising pupils to rise to the role. [[Dracaryis]] was not only suddenly responsible for overseeing the Royal Guard, but also tasked with becoming the Supreme Commander of the Iron Navy and Legion.

-As ambition drives the normal ranks of the Dark Brotherhood, it can prove a valuable tool within the structure of the [[Grand Master's Royal Guard]], as well. Through sheer determination, a member may advance within the hierarchy of ranks within the Royal Guard. To do so, they need to earn [[Cluster of Fire|Clusters of Fire]].
-Ranks within the Grand Master's Royal Guard are broken into four echelons, aptly numbered based on one's determination: First Echelon, Second Echelon, Third Echelon and Fourth Echelon. Within each echelon, assigned a numerical value, are the ranks of the Grand Master's Royal Guard. As one advances within the Society, progressing upward, special features are unlocked: armor, weapons, robes, and exclusive lightsaber hilts.

+'''Main Article: [[Sorasu_Desert#The_Crucible|The Crucible]]
-After a member passes the GMRG History course in the Shadow Academy, the member is automatically enrolled in the Society. After that, to gain rank, the earned Clusters of Fire for the next rank need to have been approved by the [[Master at Arms]] in that month. If they don't have the allotment of Clusters of Fire, they won't rank up, and possibly be demoted if they don't even have the same amount they had the previous month. On the First of every month, the [[Fist of the Brotherhood]] presses a button that automatically calculates the amount of the Clusters awarded for that member that month, and elevates or demotes them. There are ranks that will won't demote a member, those being level 1, 4, 7, and 10. The system is set up though, that a member can not rank up twice in one month, including the month that they take the GMRG test. It is best to make sure that the member has been awarded his or her Clusters of Fire prior to the last day of the month, so that in case an issue arises in real life for either the Fist or the Master At Arms, the member still progresses or stays at the same rank.
