| | == 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. |

| | |
| | 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. |

| {{Quote|While the Brotherhood dealt with it's own internal conflict, a new organization solidified it's power and waited patiently for the right moment to strike and reveal themselves. The Brotherhood was forced to reconsider their position internally, as their focus was forced onto an enemy that threatened them all. |[[Farrin Xies]], [[Headmaster]], 35 ABY}}
| |
|
| |
|
| Rath Oligard, former Fleet Admiral of the Dark Brotherhood, was declared absent without leave from the Fleet in 29 ABY. Known throughout the Brotherhood as a rising military star, Oligard abandoned his position following the tragic and unfortunate events that led to the death of his family on an uncharted planet known only as XL374.
| |
| Oligard’s journey over the next six years took him from sorrow, to depression, to anger, and finally towards a single driven purpose. The galaxy had toiled under the yoke of Force users for Rath’s entire life. The Old Republic were ruled by a cadre of unfeeling and arrogant monks who sat within a temple and passed judgment upon the galaxy. The Empire ruled with an iron fist and destroyed any and all who opposed it. Now, the galaxy sat in a state of abject chaos as multiple Theocracies attempted to impose their will upon it.
| |
|
| |
|
| The former Fleet Admiral would tolerate it no longer. He crawled from the alcoholic haze that blurred the loss of his family from his memory. He drug himself, upon hands and knees, into the dens of miscreants and criminals until he finally began to find those who understood his new found philosophical goal. The Galaxy was a miserable and contemptuous place, but it was much more tolerable when it was not oppressed by the yoke of the Jedi or Sith.
| | ===== 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. |
|
| |
|
| The creation of the Collective was a tedious and daunting process. Rath’s personal vanguard within the Liberation Front were the true believers. They despised Force users of all kinds and abhorred the institutions that they created. The Technocratic Guild, a series of eccentric engineers and scientists, did not harbor the same hatred for Force users, but did jealously covet their knowledge and possessions. Finally, Capital Enterprises; the mercenaries for hire within the Collective, agreed to Rath’s terms solely to eliminate the Force users from cutting into their bottom line. Rath understood Capital Enterprises greed, but he also knew their enigmatic leader, Ghafa Ordam, harbored deep hatred for the Sith and their slaver ways.
| |
|
| |
|
| Six years, billions of credits, and the unification of multiple visions produced the organization that now opposed the Dark Brotherhood. Rath Oligard, military genius, rogue, and charismatic leader, looked forward to finally obtaining the justifiable wrath he sought for his family.
| |
|
| |
|
| He had conducted hundreds of small scale attacks against the Dark Brotherhood fleets over the past several weeks and now he had ushered them to his front door on [[Nancora]]. Exactly where he wanted them.

| | '''[[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. |

| As the Grand Master of the Brotherhood witnesses the fate of his flagship, Pravus calls his many resources into action to determine the nature of this new threat. As his subjects and servants spring into action, the name Rath Oligard comes to the surface. An Imperial officer of the finest caliber, Oligard is a true threat to the Brotherhood. And, while foes of the darkness seek him out to join with him, the true intent of Rath Oligard and his Collective comes forth: the Brotherhood and all Force-users are to be exterminated.

|
| With the seat of the Collective’s power known, the seven Clans turn their sights to Nancora and seek to retaliate against the vicious onslaught of Rath Oligard. As the Clan fleets jump to hyperspace to head to Nancora Prime, the treachery of a Dark Lord stands out against the unity of Dark and Light: Darth Pravus will offer no aid, and the forces of the Dark Council withdraw to Arx, and leave the Clans to their own fates.
| | ===== Seneschal ===== |
| | [[File:James-wiki.png|left|130px]] |
| | '''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 [[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. |

And, as the forces of the Brotherhood enter the fray, a superweapon is unleashed, and lives are lost.

| The unified forces of the Inquisitorius continue to relay information both to the Clans, as well as to the Grand Master and his servants on Arx. One of the prototype weapons of the Collective falls to the agents of the Brotherhood, but as the battle in space rages on, noteworthy members fall from the sky and crash to the surface.

|
| ==== Chapter 5: Riposte ==== | | ===== Headmaster ===== |
| * [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-htX3YhSwhVEfzVGamn4FuyKYT8M1AeU/view Fiction]
| | '''[[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. |
|
| |
|
| The forces of the Brotherhood advance and score noteworthy wins against the Collective, but this has all been according to plan. Rath Oligard drew in the forces of his enemies, and plans a retreat from Nancora with the intended goal of presenting the Clans with a Pyrrhic victory.

| | '''[[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. |
|
| |
|
| Heroes stand out among all of the forces of the Brotherhood. The forces of the Collective witness the power of one of the Dark Lords, and yet, the homes of each Clan is not safe. Messages spread like wildfires among the Clans: the Collective fled, but with blood lust in mind. And in the midst of the retreat of the Collective, a bastion of darkness among the seven wavers and falls.

|
| '''Synopsis:'''
| |
| * FLASHBACK: Pravus, not happy with how things panned out. He is probably still upset about his flagship being blown up, too.
| |
| * SMASHCUT: Pravus in the present (of this story). He is not expecting Consul's Turel and Satsi to share the information they learn with the rest of the Brotherhood. The Sith Lord underestimated the "Light".
| |
| * After realizing that the Collective used Nancora as a trap for the Brotherhood, Pravus prepares to deploy Dark Council and Arx assets to aide the rest of the Brotherhood.
| |
| * Pravus tells the Dark Councilors they are free to aide their alma mater Clans. Except for Farrin...
| |
| * Pravus tells Farrin that he is needed here on Arx, and that it is too late to save his former Clan: Tarentum.
| |
| * Bloodfyre realizes that he is too late to save Tarentum’s homeworld. While the defensive navy manages to land some critical hits, the Collective is just too powerful and the defenses do not hold. The Collective pushes to wipe out one of the Brotherhood's oldest and darkest Clans.
| |
| * Sith Bloodfyre, the last Consul of Tarentum, makes the choice to save his Clansman (and women) by ordering the surviving members into escape pods. The members of once Clan Tarentum will never forget, but would live on to fight future battles.
| |
| * A Plageuis ship named the Wrath. This is amusing because that is the same name of the Fist's Flagship Resurgent-class SSD.
| |
| * Plageuis is ready to take on the Collective on home turf. Still, there are *a lot* of Collective ships. Just as Laren muses that they might win, but at a cost, a deus-ex Dracaryis shows up to help turn the tides of battle. Surely this will lead to interesting development between the Ascendant Clan and the current Fist of the Brotherhood.
| |
| * CUT TO: CSP Flagship, which is of course named the “Sidious”.
| |
| * Consul/Empress Elincia ponders the state of life, the universe, and everything. While CSP is able to withdraw effectively form Nancora, they don’t have much of a home to return to. They still have to fight against the Meraxis Empire to claim a true foothold in the Caperion system.
| |
| * To add more fuel to the fire, intel is leaked that Collective agents have made contact with the Meraxis Empire and are willing to work with them to prevent the spreading of any tricksie Jedises or Sithses.
| |
| * Just when Elincia thought, *we’re going to need a bigger ‘boat’*, a familiar face arrives to lend a hand.
| |
| * It’s Evant, former Proconsul of CSP and since Regent of the Brotherhood! He offers the aid of the Brotherhood’s capital resources in an olive-branch like move to help repair relations between the DC and the independent Clans.
| |
| * Vexus, a member of the Collective, like all the good zealots in the Liberation Front, is ready to take the fight to the Clans of the Brotherhood. Their target? Sepros, the home of Clan Naga Sadow. *Dun dun dun.* Sang will pick up from this for your next event, or so I’m told. ph33r and stuff.

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.

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.
