<BLANK> is a small elite task unit that holds loyalty to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Founded in 34 ABY in response to the uprising of Jedi near Antei, this classified military unit reports directly to the Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master of the Brotherhood for the purposes of special operations on behalf of the Dark Council. <BLANK> as a result specializes in multiples facets of spec ops, including but not limited to demolitions, medical assistance, and sniper tactics. It is also a frontline force built of soldiers that are a power to be reckoned with, as individuals are selected to join the unit based on their merit and military decoration.

History

Founding

The Order War of 33 ABY threw the Brotherhood into disarray. The Obelisk, Sith and Krath fragmented in an all out war for supremacy, in which internal distrust between Dark Council members erupted in a violent and bloody display. The initial disruption may have been rooted in the disagreement between Korras, the Obelisk Master At Arms; Muz Ashen, the Krath Grand Master; and Ma`ar-Tyrius Ga-Tir, the Sith Fist of the Brotherhood. However, the true nature of the war was unseen to all but one.

Jac Cotelin, a former Grand Master and esteemed member of the Star Chamber, was unsettled by a disturbing presence surrounding the Discipline Holocrons. After much meditation, he found the Force fingerprint of Michael Halcyon, a Jedi Master. Jac quickly returned to Antei to stop the ensuing battle, and as a result the conflict ceased due to the understanding that the holocrons had been tainted by energy that would disturb Brotherhood allegiances and cause tension among the orders. Now the Dark Jedi could unite to seek out and eliminate a common enemy.

The Jedi soon became an increasing threat in the Brotherhood, and the tension they caused was only heightened by the acceptance of House Odan-Urr, a light side Jedi unit, into the. As a precautionary measure, the Dark Council annexed a small elite unit that would serve not only deter, but also to protect as hostilities continued to rise. If anything detrimental presented itself to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, <BLANK> would be the first deployed and the last to leave.

<BLANK>’s chosen commander was Sergeant Thomas Andar, an older man who had sworn allegiance to the Iron Throne towards the end of the Ninth Great Jedi War. Beforehand, he had served with prestige within Clan Arcona’s military ranks, having been born and raised in Estle City on the Shadow Clan’s capital world of Selen. He soon excelled in his capacity as a military leader, undergoing rigourous training at the Torbai Garrison, before serving with the Summit Guard of Arcona, in Solus Command Unit. Once he had demonstrated his loyalty and prowess on Antei, Muz Ashen and Sashar Erinos Arconae, who was Consul of Arcona at the time, agreed to have him enlisted in special forces due to Andar’s knowledge in demolitions and special weaponry.

Andar, when approached by the Grand Master to lead <BLANK>, assisted in the process of hand-picking seasoned soldiers from all facets of the Brotherhood military and beyond. He and the Dark Council agreed to give the unit its name because [insert reason here], and it lived up to it due to its task force qualities and highly advanced weapon arsenal. Once it had received its foundation, <BLANK> set up its barracks on Antei, awaiting the day when it would be deployed.

The Tenth Great Jedi War

Michael Halcyon soon disappeared without a trace after the battle to reclaim the Temple Boyna on Antei. Numerous assassination attempts on the Jedi Master failed, with many members of the Dark Council sending their own envoys to tak his life. The latest sighting of the Jedi was with his reappearance during the Jedi Uprising of 35 ABY and another failed attempt on his life[1]. This time it was an assassin sent by Orv Dessrx d’Tana Arconae, the Seneschal of the Brotherhood, who failed to terminate the Jedi Master. Muz Ashen decided, based on this news, to enlist the clans and houses of the Brotherhood to convene and invade New Tython, in order to kill the Jedi of Odan-Urr. For every Jedi killed, his or her lightsaber would be collected as a bounty.

As the Army of the Iron Throne began military preparations, Andar was notified by the Grand Master to begin organizing <BLANK> to depart for New Tythonian space. Assembling in [whichever DC ship they’re supposed to be in], the elite unit awaited command from Muz to descend to New Tython. Its target: The Jedi’s capital, Menat Ombo.

Purpose/Role

While the main purpose of <BLANK> is to serve as a frontlines task force unit, its specializations in various facets of the military gives it more of a spec ops role. It is true that <BLANK> suitable operates as a strike/infiltration force, with the objective to seize and destroy the target it has been sent to hit. However, Andar has emphasized the need for demolition experts, snipers, and medics in the unit.

Specializations

Demolitions

Demolition specialists are assigned to assist soldiers on the frontlines. Using state of the art technology to scan and analyze the battlefield, they then send valuable information regarding demolition defenses and offenses that the unit may need. Their advice may range from proper employment of detonators, suggestions for protective gear in case of mines, and tips on concealing and efficiently activating demolition traps.

Due to Thomas Andar’s expertise, <BLANK> specifically specializes in Concussion demolitions and Fragmentation demolitions. Experts have also been enlisted to help deactivate timer mines and landmines. Although the call for Proton demolitions would be highly uncommon and usually implemented by a higher power, Andar has spent some years studying the art of fusion and proton weaponry.

Snipers

Snipers are typically sent out during the first frontline siege, making their way to key tower spots while the battle is still young. As a result, they are capable of spotting threats or weaknesses to <BLANK>’s formation and stifle any potential attack.

Corporal Yuvra’Garr, the primary sniper of the unit, promotes using recon droids while on the ground in order to signal potential spots for Orbital bombardment.

Medical

Medics are trained to control one to three evacs behind the frontlines, so that they may quickly and effectively retrieve the injured and dead when the time comes. Small supplies of bacta are provided for the evacs in case injuries can be quickly healed. Doctor Jacjed Quistic is known to work with a maximum of three assistant medical droids, while the rest of the medics on the field are sentient. Critics claim that using fewer droids is a risky business, but the Dark Council is quick to enlist the most capable living doctors and surgeons from Brotherhood dominions.
