{{Quote|First to Fight, Last to Retreat|Banshee Brigade Moto}}


=== '''Early Years''' ===
Banshee Brigade is one of the three battle teams serving [[House Dorimad Sol]] in [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].  
7 ABY <BR>
Suwea Belifay was 9 years old when she found out that her parents and older brother weren’t what she thought they were.
<BR><BR>
One day she came home early from school and was going to go change out of her school clothes when she heard her parents arguing around the back of the house.  She was good at sneaking up on her much attuned brother and tickling him to the ground, so sneaking up on her parents was not a problem.  It also helped that her parents had a great arboretum that surrounded the house were they lived, so she could hide amongst the shrubbery.
<BR><BR>
When she got close, her parents were talking about her as if she was not their daughter and talked about her parents having a colourful past with the Sith.  When she heard this it made her almost trip onto one of her favourite plants that she took care of since old enough to do so.  That fumble made her parents aware of her presence and came up on her just as she was collecting herself from the fall.  They did not find her in tears but with a face full of shock.  She managed to slip away from them and run into the forest and climb the highest tree her older brother and her always raced to.  Well not her brother, as she would have thought.
<BR><BR>
She hid in the tree for a long time until her parents could get her brother, who was away at school, to show them the way.  They were worried for her because being alone in at night was not a good idea as there would be creatures prowling for food.
<BR><BR>
It was getting dark and thought she heard her parents calling, which made her feel like they cared.  When she got to the bottom of the tree, she found out that it was just the wind that was bellowing over some reads.  This left a feeling of hatred in her and she started to get her more upset.  As she was about to climb back up the tree a carnivorous [[Gojura]] got between her and the tree.  She quickly looked around for another tree to climb but they were all too short.  The large reptilian paced back and forth rubbing its forked tongue along its sharp teeth.  As it was about to pounce she ducked into a near by bush but not in time to get scraped across her back by one of its talons.  She screamed in pain.
<BR><BR>
Meanwhile her brother just got home and they just finished explaining what had happened when they heard the scream in the forest.  They started to run into the woods after their son who knew the way.  When they arrived at the tree, they found Suwea Belifay at the base of the tree with the [[Gojura]] lizard dead at her feet and her school’s decoration knife in her hand with the creature’s blood all over her and the knife.
<BR><BR>


=== '''Teenage Years''' ===
13 ABY <BR>
After that day in the forest her “parents” and “brother” never looked at her the same way, treated her differently and were somewhat scared of what she had become.  When she was old enough they sent her away to [[Kuroshin]] were she became a tour guide.  She did this for years before realizing that this was not what she was meant to do.  She changed her name to Robin Hawk to provide some distance from her family.
<BR><BR>
=== '''Adult Years''' ===
18 ABY <BR>
One day a [[Keibatsu]] member approached her and saw her potential but they did not believe that they could help her at her age and for other reasons to this day she doesn’t know, so she was sent off to apply to the Brotherhood.
<BR><BR>
=== '''Dark Brotherhood Years''' ===
27 ABY <BR>
Robin Hawk joined the [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] under the direction of [[Braecen Kunar]] and became and Apprentice to Master [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]] in the year 27 ABY.  She quickly went through her studies, but was eco swept when she got perfect on her Lightsaber studies.
<BR><BR>
To this day, although it reminds her a little of her “family”, she still grows and studies flowers and plants.    As a hobby she is continually experimenting with plant fibres to find the right mixture that will allow her to create Synthskin armour.  Through it she is starting to realize that a mixture of a vine like fibres and spider webbing would be ideal.  Occasionally she goes exploring to different worlds and hopes to find spiders that have the strength and agility that is required for the Synthskin.  Hoping to one day find the perfect specimen that might potentially have force ability.  This will then enhance the skins abilities.
<BR><BR>

PLACEHOLDER

<BR><BR>
With the war over, Robin Hawk has decided to do a little training to prepare herself for the next battle.  She met with [[Impetus Korin]] on a couple of occasions to tone her skills and has learned a lot from her.  She has applied to her first ACC training battle with her challenge being against the one and only DA [[Sharad Taldrya Hett]] and now waits with nervous breath for the battle to begin.

"First to Fight, Last to Retreat"
―Banshee Brigade Moto

Banshee Brigade is one of the three battle teams serving House Dorimad Sol in Clan Scholae Palatinae.


History

Naming of the Brigade

The Brigade was originally known only as their designation number: Task Force 19. However, this changed with the appointment of a Sergeant whose name has been lost with the passing of history. It was said that his voice was so loud that it could be heard, yelling orders, above the sounds of battle. This earned him the nickname of "Banshee", and ever since then, the Brigade was to be called "Banshee’s Brigade". However, after the Sergeant's death, the name stuck with the Brigade and they decided to keep it, but had it styled to fit with their latest roster change - simply becoming Banshee Brigade. The fact that this name has stuck has led some to believe that it is in honor of their long-fallen comrade.

Serving House Caliburnus

With Clan Scholae Palatinae dissolved, one house stood up for its independence. Rather than being absorbed by another clan, House Caliburnus petitioned the Dark council to allow the unthinkable; a house independent of the Clan system. Banshee Brigade joined the cause and, along with two other battle teams (Ebon Cloak and Nightshade), refused to waiver. The Brigade was strong in this time and was instrumental in both winning the Independence of House Caliburnus, but also in eventually helping to reform Clan Scholae Palatinae under Grand Master Justinian Khyron.

Moving On: Dorimad Sol

Under the restructured Clan, Banshee Brigade was added to a new House, Dorimad Sol. It formed the backbone the House leading its members into battle and refusing to give one meter to it foes. Soon their battle cry was heard throughout the Clan, "Banshee Brigade, First to fight, last to retreat!" Trying times were ahead for the entire Brotherhood and the shattering of Banshee Brigade was fast approaching.

Reclamation

It was decided after the retreat from the Antei system to retake the Clan home system. House Dorimad Sol was tasked with retaking Caina the home world of House Dorimad Sol. It was during this time the Banshee Brigade gained both its grandest victory and it’s worst defeat.

The Brigade, led by Daniel Stephens, took the lead in the assault to retake Caina from the Vong Invaders. It was a long and hard fight and the Vong were eventually beaten back. The Brigade had lead the House in defeating the Vong but the losses were tremendous. Due to the injuries sustained Daniel Stephens was forced to take an extended medical leave eventually taking a position elsewhere. The Brigade remained empty for a time.


Current Assignment

The assignment for Banshee Brigade now lies in providing a defense for the headquarters of House Dorimad Sol and to police the grounds. They have had extensive experience with quelling riots, providing escorts to important officials, and have even helped with space operations. In the rare instance that they have to investigate something on the planet, they can do so with great speed and accuracy.


In the event of an offensive attack they act as a true Battle Team, splitting into smaller fire teams to eliminate the enemy forces. In the event that House Dorimad Sol takes the offensive then the Team is usually tasked with performing assassinations, infiltrating enemy bases, providing escorts for medical personnel and have even been known to break into separate smaller teams and perform combination's of the above tasks.
