| === Previous Storyline: Fictional Recap ===
| | 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. |

With Muz stepping down as Grand Master, the path was clear for Pravus to assume the power of the throne, just as he had always intended. The new Grand Master wasted no time solidifying his new seat. His first act was to give the illusion of power back to the Clans by restoring the independent houses to their former positions. With the Clans back on equal footing—so to speak—a new age of growth and recovery dawned on the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

|
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| ==== The New Order ====
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| First came the purging of the Obelisk and Krath orders. Voice Evant Taelyan formed the Inquisitorius, a network of loyal agents that would serve the Brotherhood and aide the Grand Master in flushing out and eliminating threats to the throne. The Inquisitorius then had their sights set on the task of ridding the Brotherhood of alien species of "lesser" standing. These groups, when combined with the old orders, would later come to be known as "Undesirables."
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| The campaign against the Undesirables set each of the Clans on edge. One by one, their fleets and systems came under scrutiny from the Inquisition. Each unit reacted in their own ways, but everything lead to the [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/djb-news-grand-master-s-invitational-tournament-round-i-fight Grand Master’s Invitational Tournament]. The tournament pit two champions from each unit against one another in a bracket to reach the top. In the end, the duel between [[Timeros Caesus Entar Arconae|Timeros Entar Arconae]] and [[Turel Sorenn]] gave way to the Brotherhood’s first Jedi champion.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| The Jedi of Odan-Urr savored their victory, but the taste would not last for long. The Tournament had been a smokescreen to lull the Odanites into a false sense of security within the Dark Brotherhood. Then, without word or warning, Pravus launched a full scale invasion and assault on [[New Tython]]. The Odanites were forced to retreat and went into exile before eventually settling in the [[Kiast System]], unknown to the Brotherhood.
| | Dacien Victae was appointed the new Grand Master of the Brotherhood. |
|
| |
|
| Pravus followed the sacking of New Tython by announcing his desire to lead the Brotherhood into a “New Order.” This would motivate the Clans to begin to choose a side in a growing conflict between a rising resistance and Pravus’ New Order. Remnants of the old orders would join this growing resistance, which eventually lead to friction and fissures in the frail bonds that held the Brotherhood together.

| |
|
| [[Karufr]]—long time home to Clan Taldryan—was next to be sacked by the Justicar of the Brotherhood. This forced the Taldryanites to seek solace and shelter in depths of unknown space. Clan Arcona and Clan Tarentum worked through the aftermath of [[Wuntila Arconae|Wuntila Arconae’s]] betrayal and the subsequent end to the Krath Rebellion with his murder of [[Telona Murrage]]. The two old allies aligned with Clan Plagueis in an attempt to eliminate Darth Pravus, but were unsuccessful. Plagueis returned to their home system to recover their footing and rebuild their forces.

|
| |
|
| The resistance continued to grow with Arcona and Tarentum joining the fold to oppose the will of the Grand Master and his “New Order”. The Lotus —as the rebels now call themselves—managed to strike a major setback to the Iron Navy’s starship production by attacking a key manufacturing yard. The Grand Master was not pleased with this setback, but it did give him a target to set his sights on.

|
| Even with the unexpected delays, reconciliation from Pravus came swiftly and without mercy. With a series of bold, calculated strokes, the remaining fleets of the Brotherhood were brought to bear against the might of the Iron Navy. Arcona, Tarentum, and Naga Sadow lost their flagships and accompanying navies, forcing them to retreat. Scholae Palatinae, despite their ties to the Imperial legacy, were hit the hardest as both their fleet and homeworld were set aflame.

|
| The seven Clans have been forced to reevaluate their armed forces and ambitions. Meanwhile, the Dark Council stands on the precipice of revealing their new base of operations. Gone are the tethers to the mystic ways of old. Pravus’ vision has replaced them with cold, Imperial-inspired efficiency. There appears to be a method behind the madness that the Grand Master has pursued in his pursuit of forming this New Order.

|
| With the completion of Arx, Pravus revels in his New Order coming to fruition. This leads the Lotus to organize a desperation strike to the heart of Pravus' power. The Brotherhood's combined resistance to the Iron Throne launched an attack on the Suffering, Pravus' flagship. An infiltration team goes on a dangerous mission to take out the rear shield generators of the Execturor-class Star Destroyer, creating an opening for Resistance forces to strike.

| Just as the Resistance is about to secure a major victory against Pravus, however, a new challenger arrives and begins to open fire on...everything. This new enemy strikes out against the Resistance and Iron Navy sympathizers alike, using suicide bombers supported by Heavy Cruisers.

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. |

| '''Summary:
| | |
| '''
| |
|
| |
|
| * Lucine Vasano of Arcona and Rhylance of Taldryan assassinate two key officers aboard the _Suffering_, the Flagship of the Iron Navy.
| | === Enemy Factions === |
| * Rhylance explains that an undercover agent will take the place of one of the assassinated officers to help with some kind of sabotage.
| | ==== The Collective ==== |
| * Cut to: three days later. In a modern version of the titular shuttle from the _Rogue One_ film, Kenath Zoron of Clan Odan-Urr has landed and is standing by with a team of infiltrators that are ready to take on the impossible task of disabling a section of the *Suffering's* shields.
| | [[File:Logos-fiction-center-Collective.png|left|130px]] |
| * Alarms start to go off, signaling it’s time for the team to move.
| | '''[[The Collective]]''' is a powerful organization led by the fierce Rath Oligard. Their unified purpose is to rid the galaxy of Force users. They are responsible for a multitude of conflicts, death, and loss, including a violent assault on the Brotherhood’s seat of power, Arx. While driving back, they have spent years rebuilding and preparing for the next phase of their crusade against the Brotherhood, and the Force as a whole. |
| * The *Lotus* fleet, composed of ships from both Clan Arcona and Odan-Urr, launch a full-scale assault on the Suffering.
| |
| * They are not alone. A general Resistance to Pravus’ power lends support to the *Lotus* ships. This is in the form of unmarked ships from Clan Naga Sadow. The combined Resistance takes advantage of some delays caused by the early infiltration teams,
| |
| * Notably absent from the battle are Clans Plagueis, Clan Tarentum, and Clan Taldrya. They are positioned nearby to watch the outcome of the battle.
| |
| * A new set of ships arrives to help defend the *Suffering.* They belong to House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow. It is revealed that Naga Sadow’s summit is divided on supporting the Lotus over the Iron Throne.
| |
| * The Marka Ragnos ships attack the Arconan ships' flanks. Things don’t look good.
| |
| * Clan Scholae Palatinae shows up, lending the *INS Tarkin* to help strike back at Pravus for destroying their former home. Aedile Dek Ironius II uses his tactical experience to help balance the scales.
| |
| * Deep in the bowels of the *Suffering’s* engineering bay, the infiltration team is lead by an impersonator that assumed the identity of the officer killed in the opening by Lucine and Rhylance.
| |
| * Having safely guided the sabotage team to Engineering, Bentre Stahoes of Clan Naga Sadow drops his Faceless feat’s disguise before cloaking and going to retrieve Lucine and Rhylance and prepare for extraction.
| |
| * As the battle continues, and time ticks away for the Lotus’ gambit, Rian and Vodo speculate on the battle from the safety of their ships bridge. As they are speaking, an alarm sounds that one of the fighter squadrons deployed against their orders to stay out of the fight.
| |
| * Back in Engineering, Jasper Arlow works her mechanical magic as she works to take down the Sufferings rear aft shields through its generator.
| |
| * She manages to overload the generator, and the sabotage team scrambles to flee to the extraction point.
| |
| * Back on Odan-Urr’s flagship, the Lotus forces see the opening in the shields and divert all their firepower to taking out the Sufferings rear aft thrusters in hopes of crippling its mobility.
| |
| * They don’t have any resources to spare to go save the extraction team, though.
| |
| * While making their way to the extraction point in the hangar bay, Lucine gets shot in the leg. She is carried back to the shuttle with the rest of the team, who manage to escape the hangar bay...only to be stopped by a squadron of Iron Navy fighters.
| |
| * Zoron can’t do much with just the shuttle, and braces for the worst. The rogue Taldryan squadron swoops in and clears a path through the Iron Navy ships, allowing the *Dawnblade* to escape.
| |
| * On Tarentum’s *Titan*, Scion watches the conclusion of the battle, and can’t believe the Lotus pulled their mission off. As he’s preparing the ship to turn and leave, a new battle group of ships appears out of nowhere and starts attacking everything in sight...including the previously neutral ships belonging to Tarentum, Plagueis, and Taldryan.
| |
| * All three ships suffer damages before retreating.
| |
| * Aboard Arcona’s flagship, the *Invicta II*, Atyiru and her crew watch as the new enemy deploys a strange kind of weapon in the form of Quadrijet spacetugs. They end up watching as the small cargo carriers detonate as suicide bombers, taking out one of Naga Sadow’s unmarked ships.
| |
| * Naga Sadow ships on both sides of the conflict retreat.
| |
| * Even on the verge of victory over Pravus, Turel orders a full retreat of the Lotus forces. * Odan-Urr ships begin to pull out as well, with Arcona and Scholae along with the hamstrung Scholae Palatinae ship. Arcona attempts to cover the retreat.
| |
| * The *Invicta II* is the last ship to leave. Atyiru orders the retreat and rushes towards the medbay to help with the wounded.
| |

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.

Databank: Brotherhood Universe
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
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
The 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
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
'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
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
James Lucius Entar serves as the current Seneschal of 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 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.
Headmaster
Rhylance serves as the current Headmaster of the Brotherhood. He oversees the Aurora Collegium of Sciences and the Shadow Academy on the Grand Master's behalf. Despite not being a Force-user himself, he aids the teaching for Force-users and Non-force-users alike while researching the many items deemed needed by the Council.
Herald
Malfearak Asvraal serves as the current Herald of the Brotherhood. As the new Herald and head of the Shroud Syndicate, the Malfearak works hard to maintain the strong grip the Brotherhood has made in the underworld.
Voice of the Brotherhood
Idris Adenn serves as the current Voice of the Brotherhood. Known as an outgoing and accomplished Bounty Hunter, Idris Adenn has brought an air of flash and style to the otherwise shadowed and secretive Inquisitorius. The Mandalorian takes great pride in the efforts of the Brotherhood's intelligence agency.
Fist of the Brotherhood
Rajhin Cindertail serves as the current Fist of the Brotherhood. The loud and boisterous Togorian operates as the Supreme Commander of the Iron Legion and Navy, while also overseeing the Grand Master’s Royal Guard.

Justiciar
Kamjin "Maverick" Lap'lamiz serves as the current Justicar of the Brotherhood. The former Emperor of Scholae Palatinae has accepted the position of Justicar following his tenure within the Chamber. His reason for foregoing the throne for the Halls of Justice are cloaked in mystery.

A member of each respective unit is referred to in the following manner:

The Iron Forces
The Iron Forces are divided into two divisions: The Iron Navy, and the Iron Legion.
Grand Master’s Royal Guard
Formerly elite body guards for the Council, the reinvented Grand Master’s Royal Guard, maintain their elite combat skill set to under take very dangerous operations on behalf of the Brotherhood. Beyond the unique experiences it offers, unique awards and incentives are given by order of the Fist.
The Shadow Academy
The Shadow Academy and its associated Aurora Collegium of Sciences oversees the training, education, and research components of the Brotherhood. Providing unique items and opportunities, it is overseen by the Headmaster.
Arx Capital Exchange
The Arx Capital Exchange, or ACE, is the financial and industrial apparatus of the Arx System and the Council as a whole. The Regent manages its efforts for the Brotherhood.
Inquisitorius
The Inquisitorius are the Grand Master’s covert network of agents. They represent the Brotherhood's strength outside of the Iron Legion and Iron Fleet. While not all that are enrolled are aligned with the Grand Master’s visions, many compete for favor and to rise in the rankings. The Society offers various awards and incentives and is headed by the Voice of the Brotherhood.
Shroud Syndicate
The Shroud Syndicate is the premiere criminal organization operating in Brotherhood space. It involves many smaller gangs, crews, and criminal combines within its area of operation, it is lead by the Herald, and operates from the Shroud Nebula where their massive ship, the Godless Matron, makes berth. The organization is involved in almost every major black market deal that happens in Brotherhood space.
Allied Factions
The Severian Principate
The Severian Principate is a rare Imperial Warlord state which not only endured but thrived following the Empire’s collapse. Originally a network of mining worlds and orbital facilities in the Kastolar Sector, it existed to fuel the Empire’s war machine. This changed with the governorship of Lucian Niatinus, a commander disillusioned with the Emperor’s self-destructive policies. 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.
Neutral Factions
The Tenixir Revenants
The Tenixir Revenants is a conglomerate of criminal organizations. Comprised largely of former prisoners held by the Severian Principate on the planet of Tenixir they have a deep hatred of the Imperial group. They are distrustful of all, but willing to work for the credits. Their allegiance is only to themselves. They take some great deal of persuasion to work with the Brotherhood based on its close alignment with the Severian Principate.
Enemy Factions
The Collective
The Collective is a powerful organization led by the fierce Rath Oligard. Their unified purpose is to rid the galaxy of Force users. They are responsible for a multitude of conflicts, death, and loss, including a violent assault on the Brotherhood’s seat of power, Arx. While driving back, they have spent years rebuilding and preparing for the next phase of their crusade against the Brotherhood, and the Force as a whole.
The Children of Mortis
The Children of Mortis is a powerful organization led by a mythical individual known as The Father, who has led them for millennia. Their unified purpose is to break the chains binding the Force, allowing the Father to ascend as the Force itself and control the universe. They have assaulted the Brotherhood and all seven clans in the past, and were pushed back from the Ethereal realm in 41 ABY. Their current whereabouts is unknown.
