| Calabrex’s past is shrouded in myth and legend as no written documents exist until humans colonized the planet. Scattered throughout the planet are remnants of a great, massive civilization, known to the Rexans as the “Ancients”. These ruins reveal the magnitude of the civilization as its population’s centers rival most modern population centers. Heavily archaelogical research is conducted here by members of the [[Krath Order]], especially those [[Marked of the Wanderer]], who claim the planet as their original home. [[Dark Jedi Master]] [[Trevarus Caerick]] directly oversees all archaeological research on the planet. | | Calabrex’s past is shrouded in myth and legend as no written documents exist until humans colonized the planet.

| Upon the arrival of humans to Calabrex, the “Ancients” had ceased to exist and the remnants of their civilization were in ruin. The Rexan had no memory of the “Ancients”, only knowing that the ruins were believed to have magical nature. The humans dismissed the Rexan’s belief in the “Ancients” and created their own society.

History
Calabrex’s past is shrouded in myth and legend as no written documents exist until humans colonized the planet. Scattered throughout the planet are remnants of a great, massive civilization, known to the Rexans as the “Ancients”. These ruins reveal the magnitude of the civilization as its population’s centers rival most modern population centers. Only recently have the humans in conjunction with Dark Jedi of the Krath Order begun to excavate the “Ancient” sites.
Upon the arrival of humans to Calabrex, the “Ancients” had ceased to exist and the remnants of their civilization were in ruin. The Rexan had no memory of the “Ancients”, only knowing that the ruins were believed to have magical nature. The humans dismissed the Rexan’s belief in the “Ancients” and created their own society. The original colonists of Calabrex formed the settlement of Tiran, which now serves as the Calabrexian capital. The documents from the original settlers are vague and explain little of the events that took place in the forming years. The only document that is of great historical worth is the colonists’ composition on the structure of the government.
The government, known as the Fortress, is composed of two separate bodies. The Upper Fortress is comprised of a chief executive, known as the Supreme, and upper echelon administrative staff to assist the Supreme. The Supreme is an enlightened dictator for a period of three years. The other body of the Fortress is a group of 100 individuals who represent certain regions of the planet. The Lower Fortress elects the Supreme every three years and has the ability to make recommendations to the Upper Fortress but the final decision rests with the Supreme. This colonial government continues to exist to this day, overseeing all affairs of the planet.
For several decades, the humans dominated the native Rexan, encroaching upon their homelands and destroying many of their populations. Eventually the Rexan formed a peaceful rebellion forcing the humans to desist in their domination of the Rexan people. In a series of rapid changes, the Rexan were given the same rights as the humans. The Fortress changed drastically as the Rexan were allowed to select their own representatives, making the Fortress predominately Rexan with few humans holding seats in the Lower Fortress. Since the rebellion, known as the Rexan Restoration, the Rexan and humans have lived in reasonably peaceful harmony.
Several hundreds of years after the Rexan Restoration, Dark Jedi discovered the planet. The peoples of Calabrex were fairly sophisticated and had formed many cities scattered throughout the continents of the planet. However, the Dark Jedi were more interested in the widespread climate and terrain differences on Calabrex. Immediately the Dark Jedi realized the possibility of training on a planet with so much contrast.
Within a few short months, the Grand Master had sent Envoys to the Calabrexian Fortress to discuss negotiations and the Supreme, realizing the benefits of joining the Brotherhood’s Territories, agreed to allow for Dark Jedi facilities and bases but ensured that the Fortress remained a sovereign entity from Brotherhood influence. The Calabrexian Fortress and Brotherhood formed the pact known as the Treaty of Tiran, initiating Calabrex as a member of the Brotherhood Territories and allowing the Fortress continued reign of the planet.
After the formation of the Treaty of Tiran, the Brotherhood began to build the military infrastructure that is seen today on Calabrex. In several massive undertakings the Brotherhood created the Stronghold of Darkness, the Combat Training Center, the Strategy and Tactics Academy, the War Simulation Station, the Shipyard Plexus, and the Spaceport Complex. In addition, scattered throughout the planet are smaller training posts and stations that allow the Dark Jedi and Brotherhood military forces to train in different terrains and environments.
The Calabrexians and Brotherhood have coexisted peacefully on the now militarized stronghold planet. The Calabrexians have transformed into a military manufacturing and technological society to serve the needs of the Brotherhood’s war machine and their own pocketbooks.
