After months of discussion, The Severian Principate has requested the Brotherhood take on a number of their criminal population, including captured Collective agents from the events in the Lyra system. During the prisoner transfer, the Collective created a riot on the Principate’s prison planet of Tenixir. Brotherhood forces were sent to restore order and prevent the Collective from escaping. Additional information was relayed to the Brotherhood from prisoners within the complex itself, not wishing to be killed in the conflict.
A harbinger of chaos that serves herself first, so much so that she forfeits the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Rule_of_Two Rule of Two]. In that sense—despite the era that she was born in—'''[[Alaisy Tir’eivra]]''' is a very traditional [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Sith Sith], following the code as they did before the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Darth_Bane Sith Lord Darth Bane] made his mark on the ancient Order.  


The Collective succeeded in freeing some of their scientists from the facility, but just barely. Their remaining forces were either killed in recaptured as the Brotherhood quickly shut down the prison riot. Due to the Brotherhood’s swift actions, the relationship between the Principate and the Brotherhood improved even more. As an act of good faith for their assistance, many of the prisoners were released by the Brotherhood. This group banded together under the lead of Rasha Hawee, becoming The Tenixir Revenants. This group has a strong hatred of the Principate, and due to the severity of the Brotherhood’s action on Tenixir is very distrustful.
Her harrowing, enigmatic appearance demands attention, while Tir'eivra's tenebrific aura tends to fill the space around her. She has garnered a reputation of utter ruthlessness and occupies a diplomatic niche in situations where fear and intimidation are key.


While the Collective was focused on freeing their people, the Brotherhood launched their own rescue mission, recovering the captured Deputy Grand Master, Evant Taelyan, alongside three of the clan representatives that were lost in the Lyra system. Heavily tortured and in need of medical attention, they returned home to the Arx system.

=== March 2024 - Kasiya ===
[[File:TSP-logo.png|150px|left]]
[[File:Kasiya.png|140px|left]]


The Severian Principate is a rare [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Warlord/Legends#After_Endor  Imperial Warlord] state which not only endured but thrived following the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Empire’s] collapse. Originally a network of mining worlds and orbital facilities in the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Kastolar_sector 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 [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Alliance_to_Restore_the_Republic Rebellion].
'''[[Kasiya]]''' is a small mineral moon located in the Caelus System whose surface was covered with a thin layer of ice over its reddish soil. Following the Elysian Incident, solar flares from the Caelus Star had an effect on the atmosphere of Kasiya which caused the development of several different biomes that had not existed prior to the event. With the natural effect that the Pomojima shard had on kyber crystal growth, Taldryan scientists utilized it in these newly formed biomes and found that it increased their development exponentially with sometimes dangerous temperature shifts in localized areas. Since then, the experiments were halted pending further investigation. Overall the moon continued to grow and develop into a more colonizable world even after that.

Niatinus was one of the first Warlords to declare independence following Palpatine’s death. Culling the ranks of those hidebound by [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Commission_for_the_Preservation_of_the_New_Order COMPNOR] dogma, he took the first steps to abolish slavery within his territories and gave former serfs a voice in his new government. Through the promise of protection and trade deals, the Principate was able to quickly encompass nearby systems and expand its commerce to Hutt Space and the Core.
=== April 2024 - Envoy Corps ===
[[File:Envoy-corps-logo-whitebg.png|140px|left]]


{{Clear}}
Guided by the [[Exarch]], the '''[[Envoy Corps]]''' tackles bounties, contracts, and missions that burnish the Brotherhood's reputation among the galaxy's power players. Renowned for their expertise and shrewdness, Envoys deploy in diverse pairs or teams, drawing upon specialists from all seven clans and their associated allies. With conditional advisement from the [[Emissary]] or [[Herald]], the Envoy Corps seeks to bolster the Brotherhood's standing with its current and potential allies while countering propaganda being spread by their adversaries.


=== April 2021 - [[Antenora]] ===
The Envoy Corps was formed out of a need to better establish the Brotherhood's efforts in building a positive image on the greater stage of the Galaxy, while also bridging relationships between he Clans and the Council. While it might look like a public-relations gambit on the surface, the Council put their full weight and support behind the Envoy Corps and trusted that it would become a vital key to their strategy of success.

Antenora is thought to have been the second planet to have formed in the [[Cocytus System]], not long after [[Judecca]] assembled out of the debris orbiting Imperius. Antenora is the closest planet to the white star. Evidence suggests that life appeared early on '''Antenora''', possibly in the form of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermophile hyperthermophiles] which evolved as the planet's crust cooled, and then gave way to higher forms of life after the oceans formed. Between 40,000 and 30,000 standard years BBY, a sapient species of humanoids is thought to have begun proliferating upon the planet. Very little is known about their biology and society, but two relics on '''Antenora''' have been speculated to be the remnants of this species: the un-deciphered inscriptions in the Rune Hall of the [[Ebon Cloak]] base of operations, the [[Ebon Cloak#Sedes_Doctrinae|Sedes Doctrinae]], and the unexplored sacred cavern of the current city of Aknah. Because their inscriptions are all that they left behind, these extinct people are called by historians "Homoglyphs".

'''[[Sivall Zoria]]''', born Zosi'val'ria, is a quiet and overall unassuming Chiss female from [[House Galeres]] of [[Clan Arcona]]. A [[Disciplines#Shadow|Shadow]] with a medic focus, Sivall can be heavily neutral, but tends to lean more towards the light. Originally born on an unknown desert planet, she was sold to a human couple on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. After being abandoned, she was recruited into the brotherhood by '''Alexandyr Douve''' and quickly climbed the ranks to become one of the Houses' [[Aedile]]s.


=== May 2021 - [[Trepus Mine]] ===
Sivall is a [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] female that sports a lithe but proportionately feminine build. Sivall has a light musculature, which is more apparent in the legs than anywhere else. She has full, doe-like, eyes without pupils or irises that are a deep sanguine in color surrounded by long raven lashes.

{{clear}}
'''Trepus Mine''', also known as '''Trepus Mine Base''', is the primary operations facility for [[Clan Odan-Urr]] on [[Solyiat]]. Originally owned and constructed by the Solyiat Mining Consortium to extract metal deposits beneath Trepus' central mountain range, the mine itself stretches for several kilometers beneath the mountain in a complex series of primary tunnels, natural caves, and man-made openings. This was then gifted to [[House Hoth|JTF Hoth]] following the arrival of the Jedi, and repurposed into a primary HQ for the House. The positioning of the base on the continent allows them to monitor and cover the surrounding local airspace for possible threats along with maintaining a constant watch of events in local orbit of the planet. Along with the close location of the Transfer Station, thus controlling the primary means of arriving and departing Trepus via airborne means, this allowed House Hoth to keep multiple rapid response units on standby. These could counteract any threats while providing cover for the scattered townships across the continent against hostile groups.


When required, Trepus Mine retained the space to guard and protect several thousand civillians. The Mine could serve as a means of defending and guarding the continent's sparse populace from massed invasions and orbital bombardments. With the mine limited to only a few heavily defended entrances, guarded by both the mountain itself and military-grade shields along with heavy cannonade, it served as a symbol of Odan-Urr's might. Even following the dissolution of House Hoth, the base remained active as an outpost for [[House Sunrider]] and an essential linchpin in their defenses.
=== June 2024 - Vornskr Battalion ===
[[File:VornskrLogo.png|140px|left]]  


The '''[[Vornskr Battalion]]''' is a private military company that’s not officially connected to [[Taldryan]]; they lease their equipment from the Clan in exchange for a share of the profits and give Taldryan “preferred client” status, but are otherwise a fully independent mercenary unit that takes its own contracts. Members who are willing to fight for Taldryan but would prefer not to fly the Clan’s colours can serve with the Vornskrs instead. The battalion is led by [[ranks|General]] [[Zentru'la]] under agreement with [[Consul|Chancellor]] [[Cassandra Oriana Tyris]].

{{Clear}}
'''The [[Dajorran Marshals]]''' are a branch of emergency services and law enforcement under the purview of [[House Galeres]]. The Marshals are an agency serving in the space between the individual powers of the [[Dajorra System]], fielding resources to supply emergency response missions across the system, as well as tracking down heinous criminals who have escaped the justice of their own local government. Sharing an essential position with their sister agency, the [[Dajorra Defense Force]], in policing the Dajorra System, the Marshals' focus are on threats from within the Dajorra System, while the DDF primarily focuses ostensibly on threats from without.


=== June 2021 - [[The Fang]] ===
[[File:TheFang.jpg|250px|right]]
'''The Fang''' is a castle currently serving as a home of a [[StarWars:Jensaarai|Jensaarai]] splinter-faction. Situated on the larger mountain slopes of [[Solyiat#Trepus|Trepus]], [[Solyiat]], it lies far further inland than most existing townships. The name itself is a colloquial abbreviation of its original [[starwars:Sephi/Legends|Sephi-given]] designation, the direct translation of which is '''One Fang of the World Consuming Serpent Which Will Herald The Universe's Oblivion'''. The shortened [[starwars:Basic/Legends|Basic]] translation has become more commonly accepted even among Trepus' residents. With stonework which was laid down in the earlier days of the [[starwars:Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]], the castle predates the first colonies of the [[Vatali Empire]]. Its exact origins or even the names of its builders have been lost to history, with only a small handful of theories offering any answers as to who this might have been. Due to its heavily dilapidated state, groups of [[Notable Fauna: Trepus#Varritul|Varritul]] nesting in its ruins, and remote location far inland, the castle was largely ignored by the coastal towns. As of early 38 ABY, efforts have been made to restore the Fang to its former glory. This will likely take years if not decades to fully accomplish.

'''[[Okami (Mandalorian Clan)|The Okami Mandalorians]]''' are a conservative Mandalorian clan based on the ice moon of [[Kaerls]].

[[File:HeaderRoSEscalation1.png|250px|right]]
=== September 2024 - Fort Blindshot ===
At the invitation of the Py’zah the Hutt, ruler of Tipool City, and Garganta Galleria Casino and Hotel Resort, many of the criminal world ventured to Dandoran for a week full of massive events such as illegal deathmatches, pod-racing, and a very rare items auction. Up for auction was a box load of the crystals that the Collective, the Principate, and the Revenants all had been collecting over the past years.


With the division in the ranks of both the Principate and the Revenants, four distinct groups emerged. As factions of the Principate, there were the brutal Restorers and peace-seeking Harmonists. For the Revenants, there was the vengeance-seeking Retributionists and the opportunistic Expansionists. These four groups arrived in an attempt to take these crystals from the Hutts. It was then the conflict began.
[[File:Caldera.jpg|150px|left]]


The Grand Master, Darth Nehalem, was unconcerned with these events and decided to take the Headmistress out in a scouting mission to find a place of power. He ordered the members of the Brotherhood to ignore their clan ties and go independently to support whatever group they wished. And in the darkness of her cave, The Seer made her last preparations before leaving to join the fun on Dandoran.  
'''[[Fort Blindshot]]''' is a multipurpose post dedicated to the planetary defense of [[Selen]] and the maintenance of the planetary garrison. Situated on an exctinct volcanic island in the north Ninasisa Ocean, the remote location is largely separated from any sort of large civilian population and offers easy defense from external forces through the use of turbolaser turrets and interconnected trench and bunker system built across the island. While the island’s population is purely imported (no native villages extant), it currently plays home to the headquarters of [[House Galeres]].

This is a list of all featured articles showcased on DJBWiki's Main Page. For a list of articles scheduled to appear on the Main Page in the coming weeks, see Queue. For previous years view:

January 2023 - Morgan B. Sorenn

Morgan Bartholomew Sorenn is the founder of the Shroud Syndicate, crime boss, former Herald, and former Deputy Grand Master.

She is a Nar Shaddaan by birth, spacer by choice and mercenary by necessity who leads a life devoid of restrictions or bylaws. The only loyalty she holds is the one that is useful to her, and not many deserve that privilege. She is a troubled individual with many dark and terrible secrets. Her involvement with the Dark Brotherhood veers into the illicit and the dangerous, but it is a lifestyle she is accustomed to, a lifestyle where she can tread her path and live free.


February 2024 - Alaisy Tir’eivra

A harbinger of chaos that serves herself first, so much so that she forfeits the Rule of Two. In that sense—despite the era that she was born in—Alaisy Tir’eivra is a very traditional Sith, following the code as they did before the Sith Lord Darth Bane made his mark on the ancient Order.

Her harrowing, enigmatic appearance demands attention, while Tir'eivra's tenebrific aura tends to fill the space around her. She has garnered a reputation of utter ruthlessness and occupies a diplomatic niche in situations where fear and intimidation are key.

Strict Imperial upbringing on an isolated, toxic remnant world forced the female Human to adapt and put her emerging talent in Sith Alchemy to use, animating objects and experimenting with materials to find a balance between practicality, lethality, and beauty.


March 2024 - Kasiya

Kasiya is a small mineral moon located in the Caelus System whose surface was covered with a thin layer of ice over its reddish soil. Following the Elysian Incident, solar flares from the Caelus Star had an effect on the atmosphere of Kasiya which caused the development of several different biomes that had not existed prior to the event. With the natural effect that the Pomojima shard had on kyber crystal growth, Taldryan scientists utilized it in these newly formed biomes and found that it increased their development exponentially with sometimes dangerous temperature shifts in localized areas.
