- "That looks pretty bad, to put it mildly. Another good Brotherhood day."
- ―Herald Shikyo
In 36 ABY, a mysterious sickness began to spread throughout the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Often referred to as a plague, the sickness seemed to infect those attuned to the Force. Starting with the newest Journeymen, the plague seemed to progress upwards through the ranks and caused a loss of the Force to the affected individuals. The sudden loss of the Force caused many members of the Brotherhood to seemingly go insane with rage. Almost simultaneously, the Houses and Clans of the Brotherhood were attacked by an unknown, but well equipped, enemy.
Team Odan-Tar members: Anshar, Jason Hunter, Raiju, Alexander DelGotto, and Lambow
Introduction
Need to wrap up fiction from last GJW up to and including refugee camps mentioned in this event's prologue.
Plot
Internal Conflict
Shortly before the plague began to infect the members of the Brotherhood, several new recruits of extremely high caliber passed through the Shadow Academy. Surpassing all expectations, these members quickly made their way to the various Houses and Clans of the Brotherhood. For a short time, their incredible talents never went unnoticed. There were reports of Journeymen dueling with Force Lightning, a power very rarely seen outside of the Elder ranks. These seemingly overpowered recruits also proved to be very arrogant, emboldened by their powers and their rapid progression. This lead to at least one death when one "super" Guardian from Scholae Palatinae challenged an Equite. While the Houses and Clans had previously welcomed the new recruits, concerns began to mount. However, the damage had already been done.
These new "super" recruits were the first to be struck by the plague, but they were not the last. As more and more Journeymen fell victim to the unknown disease, fear and panic took control. The Journeymen revolted against their leaders, leading to armed conflict. At the same time, the Shadow Academy was placed on lock down, but not before many of the trainees were able to break free to insight riots throughout the compound and the surrounding area.
Invasions
While the Houses and Clans were embroiled by virtual civil war, all but Odan-Urr were attacked by unknown forces. The attackers invaders each Clan and House system seemingly at the same instant, with a fleet comprised of nearly a dozen capital ships, including an Interdictor to prevent any ships from fleeing. Each ship was fully loaded with their complete fighter complement.
Week Three
Conclusion
Electromicroscopic image of the Horizons Virus
The Plague
The Plague, known officially as "Thren’s Horizon Plague", was apparently crafted by Lysu Thren in the form of what appeared to be a powder, but was in fact numerous cysts. The plague has been described as something that is an abomination to both the Force and to science. It thrives on those who are attuned to the Force, gaining strength as it leeches away its host's connection to the universe.
Signs and Symptoms
While the first victims of the plague appeared to have gained incredible power, it is not known if this is because of the plague or from some other cause.
Along with the phenomenal increase in Force powers, other indications that one has potentially contracted the Horizons disease are subtle. The outward, physical signs of the illness are rather like influenza or a common cold: nausea, runny or congested nose, cough, achy joints, lethargy. It would appear that the only true indication that one has contracted Horizons, instead of a standard virus, is prolific growth in the Force.
