Blue Mist (Battleteam)

Creation of the Team

Blue Mist is a fairly new Battleteam, created to serve Galeres around the time that the Dark Inquisitors, a House Qel-Droma Battleteam, was installed within Clan Arcona. Blue Mist is the second Battleteam for House Galeres, the other being Soulfire Strike Team, the Elite Team of Arcona. The Team is still new but is on the rise.

Blue Mist Specifics

The battleteam, like said in the previous section is fairly new and was created for the sole purpose of serving House Galeres. While it is the second team to be added to House Galeres, Soulfire Strike Team being the first, serves Arcona as a whole. The Team has had two Sergeants so far and is currently working on getting some basics up and running such as a motto and an emblem.

Purpose within Galeres

While Soulfire Strike Team is a elite commando unit before a unit of Dark Jedi, Blue Mist is quite the opposite. Blue Mist is a unit of Dark Jedi first and a commando unit second. Those who join Blue Mist are more attuned and show interest in being part of a Dark Jedi Battleteam and using the Force and techniques of Dark Jedi in a commando-like role. Also unlike the Strike Team, Blue Mists loyalty lays with Galeres first.

Troopers and History

Both Teams within Galeres are Obelisk-ordered, meaning all members are Obelsik Troopers led by an Obelisk Sergeant. However it is to note that some members are Sith or Krath but instead of being Flight Members or Tyros, they share the name Trooper. The Blue Mist name was designed for that purpose in mind. The Blue in the name shows the majority of its members are Obelisk, whose Order color is blue. The Blue also represents loyalty to its Clan, Arcona. While Blue Mist does not have much history, this being because it has not been around for very long, it is a Team that serves Galeres to its utmost and will only continue to improve.

Leadership of the Team

Blue Mist has had two Sergeants so far. The first being Dark Side Adept Strategos and second being Guardian Caedes.

The Mists of Creation

The leadership of Galeres noticed that while Soulfire Strike Team was based within House Galeres, it was the Elite Team and held its loyalty to the Clan and was not truely a House-based Battleteam. So in answer to this Blue Mist was created to be a regular Battleteam with the sole purpose of serving House Galeres. With the approval of the Clan and Brotherhood, Blue Mist was born. Being birthed into a honorable House, the Team quickly grew to a good sized roster and Dark Side Adept Strategos was given leadership of it. However, later the Team would pass from DA Strategos and go to Guardian Caedes, a fairly new member within Clan Arcona and House Galeres, but one with expirience from his days as both a Flight Leader of Satal Victus, the first House Historian of Exar Kun and creator of the Blades of Kun wiki page.

Election of the Sergeant

After Dark Side Adept Strategos Entar Arconae resigned from the post of Blue Mist Sergeant, Zandro Savric Erinos, Quaestor of House Galeres, held an election for members of House Galeres. Caedes, a young Heragan and new member of Galeres submitted an application and a week and a half later, was picked to lead the Team.

Blue Mist, Galeres Calvary

With Soulfire, they are the best of the best within Arcona...a special operations team. Blue Mist is the Calvary of Galeres and has equipment to define said postion. Blue Mist is issued a set of Clone Wars era speeder bikes, with modifications to make the Calvarys purpose more...real. Blue Mists appearance is always shown by the Sergeant and Troopers wearing midnight blue armor, dura-steel woven with beskar to make it more agile and defensive against lightsabers. For weaponry, Mist Knights wield blue lightsabers and their hilts depend on their rank. Knights all have the same, Equites 1 all have the same, and so on. The rest of the Journeymen ranks (INI to JH) wield an array of blasters, vibro-swords and specialized Force-Lances, each Trooper having their own.

Blue Mist Garage

In Space: Blue Mist was given a sqaud of advanced A-9 Interceptors as vehicles in space operations.

On the Ground: Since Blue Mists is Galeres Calvary, they need ground vehicles to scout out positions of enemy encampments and such. So in answer to this Galeres gave Blue Mist a set of Aratech Speederbikes, hailing from the Clone Wars. Sergeant Caedes soon repaired these bikes and are now in fighting condition.

Rank Structure

In a crusade to make the Team more enjoyable, Sergeant Caedes quickly created a fictional rank structure, one that is the same as DJB rank and the others like the Military. The ranks are purely fictional and have no standing outside the Battleteam and likewise should not be used outside Battleteam buisness.

War Ranks; The following are based on Activity and what the Trooper brings to the Battleteam.

Rank I: Footsoldier: First War Rank, intial rank given to all Troopers upon enlistment within the Mist.
