| In the later months of [[37 ABY]], Wrathus, then [[Aedile]] of [[House Ajunta Pall]], received word from [[Consul]] [[Ronovi Tavisaen]] that the clan would be undergoing a period of reconstruction. This plan included the closure of House Ajunta Pall and no further need of his services as Aedile. Now scholars will debate whether one of them was manipulating the other or not, but in the end the pair of [[starwars:Epicanthix|Epicanthix]] came to an arrangement; Wrathus would be allowed to found a team of warriors who shared his desire for conflict and violence, but the team would stay loyal and under the ultimate command of the Dreadthrone. | | |

- "Aureole if Midwan - Glory and Power."
- ―Opress's Motto
Opress Squadron, otherwise known as Battle Team Opress, is a renowned and infamous guild of warriors within Clan Plagueis. Working as both an elite commando unit and a mild terrorist cell, Opress is feared across the Aliso system and Brotherhood space. Many know of their existence and choose to tolerate it, in fear of what the unit might do if left to their own devices.
History
Founding
During and following the events of the Thirteenth Great Jedi War, also known as Discord', Sith Battlemaster Wrathus would bring together a collection of individuals who saw the conflict as a necessary thing and sought to always be ready for when the next conflict began, even if they have to manufacture that conflict.
In the later months of 37 ABY, Wrathus, then Aedile of House Ajunta Pall, received word from the Dread Lord, Ronovi Tavisaen, that the clan would be undergoing a period of reconstruction. This plan included the closure of House Ajunta Pall and no further need of his services as Aedile. After several clandestine meetings with Tavisaen and TuQ'uan Varick, the Dread Lord's Wrath, it was decided that Wrathus would be allowed to establish a team of warriors who shared his desire for conflict and violence, but the team would stay loyal and under the ultimate command of the Dreadthrone.

Regulations
Tenets
The Tenets are the rules and morals the Squadron follow. If a member breaks or neglects to follow one of the Tenants, they are threatened with expulsion from the Squadron, or worse.
The seven tenets are as follows:

- Tenet 3: Never disobey or refuse to carry out an order from the Dreadbringer or the Dread Throne.
- Tenet 4: Never steal the possessions of a Squadron-mate.
- Tenet 5: Never kill a Squadron-mate.
- Tenet 6: Never keep a grudge against a Squadron-mate; be frank and solve your issues in combat.

Hierarchy
As a small, tightly-knit guild of warriors, Opress Squadron adheres to a simple hierarchy. The Dreadbringer is the leader and the remaining members organized by strength and prowess in combat.
Performance Point System
In order to encourage competition and conflict between the members of the Squadron, Dreadbringer Wrathus conceived a system to reward the members of Opress, above and beyond the normal rewards of the Brotherhood.
Members are awarded points based on activity and successes. Points will be assessed and totaled from the first Monday of the month to the first Sunday of the following month.
The Tuesday following the end of the assessment period, an updated roster for the Team will be sent out to each member and be updated on the Team’s wiki page.
