[[Warbanners]] are the standards, or flags, that identify an individual, whether he be a Force User or a Non-Force User, on the field of battle. The design, color, stripes, and charge of the warbanner help to identify individuals, while medallions identify those of leadership positions in the various clans or those that hold a Clan title.

A warbanner has a wide variety of options. Fabrics, colors, shapes, stripes and support rail colors unlock as you progress through the ranks of the Brotherhood, as well as other options being available to you based on positions served and Society ranks such as the [[Grand Master's Royal Guard]], the [[Shadow Academy Society]] and [[Inquisitorius]].

==  Warbanner: Guardian - Jedi Hunter  ==
When you request your warbanner, you will be asked to provide a '''crest'''. Your crest is a personal symbol that represents you. Certain copyrighted materials may be denied as crests, as well as the use of unit logos - these may be represented on your warbanner in other ways, but you do not own your unit logo (and can therefore not use it as a personal symbol).

==  Order Warbanners ==
==  Additional Options ==
These warbanners have been designed as a representation to each Order. The Sith warbanner has been fashioned out of scrapped hulls from unfortunate Republic forces capital ships. The Krath warbanner has been fashioned from stones brought from mines in Byss, cloths imported from Hapes, and parchment created from the trees of Kashyyyk. The Obelisk warbanner has been fashioned together using stone slabs from the streets of Mygeeto, as well as crude yet effective weapons fashioned by the Noghri and possible ancient Sith design. These warbanners are created specifically for members who are Equite 2 or higher in rank.
There are a wide variety of additional options that allow for further customization of your warbanner.  


* A warbanner tasset is a small medal that indicates membership in certain societies. You must meet the minimum requirements to request them as stipulated below:
** '''Grand Master's Royal Guard:''' Rank I
** '''Shadow Academy Society:''' Rank I
** '''Inquisitorius:''' Rank I
** '''Shroud Syndicate:''' Rank I
** '''Order:''' JM4


==  Medallions and Tassets  ==
* A warbanner medallion is a larger version of a tasset that holds a Clan logo. The medallion option relates only to the Clan you have served in, not every Clan. The requirements are as such:
[[File:WBwGMRGtasset.JPG|thumb|305px|left|Warbanner with GMRG Tasset]][[File:WBwACCtasset.JPG|thumb|305px|right|Warbanner with ACC Tasset]]
** Quaestor, Proconsul, Consul, Dark Councillor for 3+ months
Warbanner medallions are given to members who have served as an Aedile or higher. The only exemption to this is if one has served as a Praetor for a minimum of 6 months. The warbanner medallion is used to identify the unit or family that a member belongs to or the Brotherhood office that a Dark Councilor represents. The tassets are miniature medallions that are placed to the side of the main medallion. To qualify for these, you must reach the rank of ACC:I for the Antei Combat Center Society, GMRG:I for First Echelon: 1 in the Royal Guard, and SA:I for Shadow Academy Society to qualify for these ornaments. Finally, there is one Order medallion for the rank of DJK and above. The SA and Order tassets require a second rail to help maintain. If only the SA or only the Order tasset is requested, it will be placed in the middle over the warbanner medallion. These are selectable in the [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Hj0tEMiTDBqKkBK39KcNo-jvq9HVc9UHMqYvjI4cpkM/viewform Warbanner Request Form].
** Rollmaster, Aedile, Battleteam Leader, Praetor for 6+ months
** Clan title holder has '''NO''' time restriction


<div style="clear:both"></div>
* A warbanner Sash is reserved for members of the Dark Council or the Dark Summit, and their staff. They are given in the warbanner color and with the trim selected for the warbanner support. The left Sash holds the position and the right Sash holds the office the position is/was held in. Only members who have served six months or more in these positions may request Sashes.


== Warbanner Options  ==
== Warbanner Gallery ==
The [[Warbanner]] of a [[Guardian]] (the lowest rank in the brotherhood that is able to request a warbanner) will be much less ornate than those of higher ranks. As one progresses through the ranks, more elaborate styles become available. Also, position in the Brotherhood does not exempt one from receiving more ornate options. For example, one can receive both the ACC and GMRG tassets as long as they are qualified to carry them, regardless of rank. Warbanners are specifically designed to be based off of rank and not position. For a complete listing of the different options by rank, see the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/hrld/wb-guide.html Warbanner Guide.]

Warbanners are the standards, or flags, that identify an individual, whether he be a Force User or a Non-Force User, on the field of battle. The design, color, stripes, and charge of the warbanner help to identify individuals, while medallions identify those of leadership positions in the various clans or those that hold a Clan title.

Warbanners are created and updated by the office of the Herald. A member may design and submit a warbanner to the Herald's staff, however there is no guarantee that it will be accepted, as the Herald's staff are the ones who are in charge to design and uphold the quality of the warbanners.
