House Sunrider is a House representing Clan Odan-Urr. Founded in late 37 ABY, the House serves as a warden of the Kiast System, guarding one possible weak-point in the nebula shrouding the region and actively hunting down threats to the Vatali Empire. This can range from anti-piracy operations to initiating strikes upon major powers such as the Vauzem Dominion and The Collective. The current leaders of House Sunrider are Quaestor Tierra Suha'sen and Aedile Ira Ojiman. There is currently one active Battleteam, Tython Squadron, which is currently led by Jon Silvon.

History

Founding

House Sunrider was founded in 37 ABY, in response to several major events within the Kiast System. The first among these was the abrupt neutralization of the hostile Vauzem Dominion during Operation: Vanguard, forcing the rogue nation into full retreat. The goodwill this act garnered allowed for Clan Odan-Urr to be promoted to a noble house within the Empire, and its members were recognised as full citizens with all the rights and duties that entailed. This required a substantial reorganisation of the Clan to fit in with both the Empire's required command structure for a house, and to confront the remaining threat of the Collective.

House Sunrider was given the task of rooting out Collective threats which remained active within the Vatali Empire and spearheading counter-offensives against known enemy strongholds. In this regard, it was intended to be a taskforce with the role of safeguarding the Empire through words or, when required, by the sword. Their role was akin to that of the Jedi Order during the reign of the Galactic Republic, and their guardianship was intended to be one more means to help safeguard their adopted home against new threats.

Yet the Collective was not their only pressing enemy. A sudden rise in pirate activity throughout the Empire's north-eastern territories had become a substantial threat to shipping. This would have been a relatively minor problem in of itself, but greater examination quickly unveiled a more pressing problem. A large ship had attempted to enter the Palioxis Cloud and had detonated under repeated collisions. This had created a noted rift in the natural defenses surrounding the system, which had allowed the Vatali Empire to protect itself against far greater powers. In response, the newly formed House Sunrider was established to help defend against enemy incursions from this region. Establishing an XQ1 Platform as both its main headquarters and early warning position close to the rift, its fleet was tasked with patrolling the surrounding area and guarding it against possible threats.

Purpose

Since its foundation, House Sunrider has followed two chief objectives above all others. The first is to guard gaps in the Palioxis Cloud, especially a large one created which has allowed for larger warships to emerge into Vatali held space. They are to serve as a first response unit against any hostile incursions which might threaten the stability of the Empire or even lead to a full-scale invasion. This has left House Sunrider operating as privateers in service to the Vatali Empire, and has served to help policing efforts against the criminal factions of the local region. Its members typically operate both as larger groups and individuals in this regard, and are despatched in forces which are judged to be proportionate to the likely threat rather than relying upon sheer power to constantly win the day.

The second of these objectives ties closely into the first: To uncover, hunt down and then destroy threats to the Vatali Empire. This is reserved for groups identified as enemies who cannot be negotiated with, who have declared open war upon the Vatali Empire or have attacked its territories. These actions are typically focused upon peacekeeping efforts above all else, denying an enemy its ability to fight or bringing the conflict to a swift end over a protracted and bloody war.

XQ1 Platform

House Sunrider retained the assets of both previous Houses, and as such it still utilised both Sky Breach Base and Trepus Mine as outposts for its operations. However, due to the more pressing threat of the gap within the chaotic maelstrom of the nebula which surrounded the Vatali Empire, Sunrider required an outpost near to the breach. A sole XQ1 platform was constructed at the fringes of the area to serve as both a listening post for enemy incursions and a refueling station for the Sunrider fleet. While the platform had been constructed at such a great speed that it lacked even a name, it rapidly became a primary base of operations for the House and a linchpin within their organizational network.

Organization

As with the typical houses of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, House Sunrider is ruled with a single Quaestor with an Aedile serving as a second in command. These individuals offer basic directives and objectives, serving to coordinate the House's efforts across a broad region. The presence of multiple Coalitions has allowed for groups to be formed, serving as specialist squads or those best ideologically suited to working together. These are each granted considerable leeway in how they operate, but are ultimately subservient to the leaders of the House and Clan Odan-Urr as a whole.

The military arm of the House - Joint Task Force Sunrider - is a combination of a broad warfleet along with a small group of ground forces for limited operations. These range from rapid deployments from ships to worlds or boarding actions. The fleet is structured in a manner closer to a Republic fleet from the Clone Wars, with a series of smaller warships operating as escorts to a larger carrier vessel.

Tython Squadron

Main article: Tython Squadron

Tython Squadron is a Battleteam led by Jon Silvon. Having been assigned to House Sunrider following the dissolution of House Satele Shan, Tython Squadron has continued its primary mission of both aiding in the defense of the Kiast System while combating corruption, sedition, and infiltration from within the Clan’s ranks. The Squadron's primary choice of attack fighter has changed from their favoured TIE Defender to the RZ-2 A-wing interceptor, while their main base of operations has become a Pelta-class Republic Frigate, the Pride of Harakoa.

Nomi Sunrider

Born under the name Nomi Da-Boda, Nomi Sunrider served as a Jedi Knight and later Grand Master of the Order during some of the darkest conflicts in the Galactic Republic's history. The most famous among these include the Freedon Nadd Uprising, Krath Holy Crusade and the Great Sith War against Exar Kun. She was responsible for both severing Ulic Qel-Droma's connection to the Force following the murder of his brother Cay, and directly participated in entombing Kun's spirit within his own temple as he attempted to ascend to claim greater power for himself. In the aftermath of the wars against the Sith and Krath, Sunrider proved to be instrumental in rebuilding the Jedi Order and assisting with the Republic's recovery.
