| | |
| '''Taldryan''' is a Clan of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. The Clan was initially founded from Independent [[House Ektrosis]], at which point [[House Archanis]] and [[House Dinaari]] joined with them to complete the structure of what would be the most dominant Clan in the Brotherhood's history. For over a decade Taldryan was the first clan of the Brotherhood and winner of five successive Great Jedi Wars. While not the juggernaut it once was the Clan still maintains a proud culture of teamwork, community, and competition.
| |
| | |
| == Brief History ==
| |
| {{Main|Clan Taldryan history}}
| |
| Clan Taldryan was formed from Independent House Ektrosis in 13 ABY, several years before the great [[Exodus]]. It was made into a Clan and joined by House Dinaari and House Ektrosis upon settling in the [[Kr'Tal System]]. Taldryan occupied the Kr'Tal System for 15 years before abandoning the system in the wake of Justicar Jac Cotelin's surprise attack upon the Taldryan Dominions in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|35 ABY]]. From Kr'Tal Taldryan set about consolidating its place at the forefront of the Brotherhood and at the top of the Clans by providing several Deputy Grand Masters, Justicars, Tribunes, Dark Councilors, and Combat Masters. Sons and Daughters of Taldryan served as heads of Societies, Orders, and facilitated inter-club gaming opportunities with those organizations allied to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. After a year spent on the run from the Justicar's minions and Inquisitors Taldryan settled into the Caelus System in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|36 ABY]].
| |
| | |
| == Government and Politics ==
| |
| Once [[Taldryan]] arrived in the [[Kr'Tal System]] they established relationships with the populations on all inhabited planets. Accords were made and the Clan took up government of the system, thereby providing security and enhancing future development for the inhabitants and at the same time finding a home for the Clan. The government setup was a form of Military Dictatorship with the system being ruled by a Regent (Consul of Taldryan) and a Deputy (Proconsul of Taldryan). The Regent designates Planetary Viceroys for each of the planets in the system. These figures have control of all Clan forces on the planet and orbiting moons they govern.
| |
| | |
| The Clan is seen by the general public more as a military force that are guardians of their worlds, providing security and many other resources through its connections with TEAD (Textiles, Electronics, Agriculture, and Development) Technologies.
| |
| | |
| === Executive ===
| |
| The Executive Branch of Taldryan takes on roles of all branches of government due to its government structure, but three branches officially exist for a better public face. All officials and departments are set up by the sitting Consul, all subject to appointment and removal by Clan leadership at any time. The Summit can realistically use any government power it wishes, from making laws to enforcing them.
| |
| | |
| '''Leadership Positions'''
| |
| * Regent of Kr'Tal: {{TalCON}}
| |
| * Vice-Regent of Kr'Tal: {{TalPCON}}
| |
| * Army Service: [[Travik Korr|Surface Marshall Travik Korr]]
| |
| * Naval Navy: [[Tak Vordin|Fleet Commander Tak Vordin]]
| |
| * Intelligence Service: [[Vodo Biask Taldrya]]
| |
| * Magistrate General: Justice TBA
| |
| | |
| | |
| === Legislative ===
| |
| The Legislative Branch of Taldryan has very limited power - as the Executive Branch can override them - but since the selection of legislators is more or less done by the Summit, the branches don't typically see open conflict. The Taldryan Conclave only meets a few times a year to discuss the status of the Clan and the [[Caelus System]], as well as to propose any changes they may have to the Executive Branch.
| |
| | |
| '''Conclave Members'''
| |
| * Sons & Daughters of Taldryan
| |
| * Quaestors and Aediles
| |
| * Few select other members chosen by the Conclave and acting Consul.
| |
| | |
| === Judicial ===
| |
| The Judicial Branch of Taldryan oversaw cases brought by the citizens of the Kr'Tal System. Due to the nature of the governing arrangement with the citizens of the Caelus System Justice is handled through their own, native court system while members of the Clan are still subject to Taldryan Laws.

| == Society and Culture ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==== Taldrya ====
| |
| {{Main|[[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan]]}}
| |
| | |
| The Taldrya are members of the Clan who have sacrificed much in the name of their Brothers and Sisters. They have taken the Clan's motto and internalized it, living and breathing its meaning. Among the Clans of the Brotherhood no honor is so sought after as the prestigeous recognition of the Sons and Daughters of Taldryan and to bear the name of the Clan itself as their own. Members are considered on their years of contributions, activity, and leadership spent in service of the Clan. New inductees are considered only after recommendation by present Taldrya and internal, secret debates among the whole of the Taldrya. Once it is decided to bestow the honor of the name Taldrya upon a member they are inducted into the secrets and rites which are the sole possession of the Brotherhood's most exclusive club. Taldrya are expected to continue in their service to the Clan and are often called upon by the current Summit to weigh in on matters of importance or to clarify records of the past.
| |
| | |
| The Sons and Daughters of Taldryan exemplify the virtues and qualities sought after in all members of the Clan. They are drawn from all walks of life be they Gamers, Writers, Roleplayers, or Leaders.
| |
| | |
| ==== Taldryanites ====
| |
| The Taldryanites are the many members that belong to the Clan, positioned in all levels, from new Apprentices, Battle Team Leaders, and those armed forces that have declared allegiance to Taldryan, serving in the Security Service. Members of this class have much more access within Taldryan - more locations in the system than the average person, but still subject to limited access on Fleet vessels, as well as any other stipulations set in place by the Summit.
| |
| | |
| == Military ==
| |
| {{Main|[[Taldryan Military]]}}
| |
| | |
| === Intelligence Service ===
| |
| {{Main|Office of Secret Intelligence}}
| |
| | |
| The Office of Secret Intelligence is the Clan's intelligence gathering and counter-intel apparatus charged with providing the Consul the very best up-to-date information. Under the directorship of Vodo Biask Taldrya it was firmly established in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|36 ABY]] in the Caelus System and quickly set to work normalizing realtions between the native population and the Clan.
| |
| | |
| == Astrography ==
| |
| | |
| {{Main|Caelus System}}
| |
| | |
| After being forced to leave their historical dominion in 35 ABY, Taldryan re-settled in the Caelus System.
| |
| | |
| == Force Powers ==
| |
| {{Main|[[Taldryan Powers]]}}
| |
| | |
| Shortly after the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]], the old Force Powers system was dissolved. Taldryan's specialization, [[Elementalism]], became obsolete. Based on the standings in the Great Jedi War, each Clan was permitted to chose two powers (from a pool of twelve) in the order on which the placed. Taldryan, having placed second, was one of the first of the Clans to choose their new school of powers. The leaders of Taldryan communed, and it was decided; the Summit had selected the powers [[starwars:Phase|Phase]] and [[starwars:Cyrokinesis|Cyrokinesis]]. Phase allows one to pass through solid objects (such as cloth, wood, and even steel/walls) without disturbing the molecular breakdown of the object. Cyrokinesis allows a Jedi to rapidly decrease the temperature of an object, person, or room, and with training allows you to freeze something to the point where it is coated in a sheet of ice.
| |
| | |
| This system too was scrapped after the roll out of the 2nd Generation Character Sheets.
| |
| | |
| == Possessions ==
| |
| Taldryan over time has collected a vast assortment of artifacts and other such possessions that add to its prestige and power.
| |
| | |
| '''Rites & Deeds'''
| |
| * [[Rite of the Firmament]]
| |
| * [[Planetary Deed to Merach]]
| |
| | |
| '''Crystals, Medallions, Etc.'''
| |
| * [[Orb of Pomojema]]
| |
| * [[Orb of Growth]]
| |
| * [[Phoenix Phyle Medallions]]
| |
| * [[Ring of Valor]]
| |
| | |
| '''Weapons'''
| |
| * [[Revelation]]
| |
| * [[Taku Matsuki Taldrya's Lightsaber]]
| |
| * [[Ateliuc Blade]]
| |
| * [[Obtene Crystal Sword]]
| |
| * [[The First Sword of Shadows]]
| |
| * [[The Second Sword of Shadows]]
| |
| * [[Sword of the Avenger]]
| |
| * [[Banner of Ice]]
| |
| | |
| == Allies and Enemies ==
| |
| === Allies ===
| |
| Taldryan currently holds no official alliances with any of the Clans in the Brotherhood, nor does Taldryan have any future plans for an alliance. To many, the other Clans are seen as inferior next to the might of Taldryan and there would be no benefit for the Clan to ally. None can match our strength in military, nor the dedication found in our membership.
| |
| | |
| === Neutral ===
| |
| Neither enemy nor ally, Taldryan has a different relationship with neutral Clans. Ever suspicious and distrustful, Taldryan views neutrality as a lack of immediate conflict. As long as they remain non-threatening to Taldryan interests, the Clan chooses not to provoke them.
| |
| | |
| * [[Naga Sadow]] - Pompous and overconfident, Naga Sadow has always nipped at the heels of Taldryan's greatness. The bitter rivalry between the two Clans formed ages ago and reached a climax during the Sixth Great Jedi War. Since that time the Clans formed a brief alliance with the threat of the Yuuzhan Vong being greater their the rivalry. The alliance shortly fail and conflict returns as the [[Battle of Antei]] struck. Following the Incursion the Clan has decided to stay on neutral terms with them.
| |
| * [[Plagueis]] - While Plagueis has been seen as an enemy since their inception, the Summit now takes a neutral position. Many still see Plagueis as the weakest and most pathetic Clan in the Brotherhood.
| |
| | |
| === Enemies ===
| |
| Taldryan has become one of the most feared and hated Clans of the Brotherhood due to its near-flawless record of victories in major wars. Because of this the enemies of Taldryan are numerous, though most are too cowardly to admit to open hostility. Regardless of this, certain Clans have managed to earn the wrath of Taldryan.
| |
| | |
| * [[Arcona]] - Arcona was long thought of as Taldryan's biggest rivals, but during the reign of [[Halcyon Taldrya]] relations between the two Clans took a turn for the better. They have since been through several new leaders and have continued to revert to enemy status.
| |
| * [[Scholae Palatinae]] - Scholae Palatinae is seen as little more than an annoyance that needs to be ended in the most brutal of fashions. Past and current leaders of the Clan have strengthened Taldryan's belief that they should simply be wiped off the face of the galaxy. In more recent times they have shown signs of growth, daring to even battle Taldryan in conflict. This has served to further Taldryan's desires for their destruction.
| |
| * [[Tarentum]] - For years Tarentum was considered an enemy Clan, but the two found a common enemy in Scholae Palatinae. It wasn't enough to bring the Clans together as allies, though they did manage to declare dual neutrality. After the blatant assault on Taldryan during the Vong Incursion, the Summit considers Tarentum a hostile entity.
| |
| | |
| == Typical Actions/Reactions ==
| |
| [[Taldryan]] carries the motto of the ''Brotherhood within a Brotherhood''. This holds true in all they do, safeguarding the [[Kr'Tal System]] and its boundaries from unwanted guests. Normally the Clan's first interest is increasing its many assets, but they spend an equal amount of time securing their current holdings, as well as maintaining a strong sense of Clan unity. When provoked their actions are swift and vicious, always with the entire strength of the Clan behind any action taken.
| |
| | |
| Taldryan has always had a strong sense of loyalty towards the Dark Brotherhood, more so since they participated in the [[Exodus]] that separated them from the tyranny of the Empire's Hammer. While Taldryan would never follow blindly, there is a bond between Clan and Brotherhood due to having had many prominent members serve in various positions on the [[Dark Council]], including the seat of Grand Master. When other Clans rebel, Taldryan is usually the first to stand up for the unity of the Brotherhood - whatever the cost.
| |
| | |
