"On Wings of Hate, We Deliver Pain..."

―Night Raptors' motto

The Night Raptors were recommissioned in early 31 ABY and are serving in House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow. Currently, they hold the accolade of the Consul's Own and are lead by Sith Commander Fremoc Pepoi.

Battleteam History

Simple Origins

No one is quite sure who began the unit codenamed the Night Raptors, but what is known is that it was first created to train new members of House Marka Ragnos before they were transferred to the intermediate Battleteam of Ragnos, the Night Falcons and after their tenure in the Falcons, moved up to the elite clandestine unit, the Night Hawks. However, this method began to prove ineffective and in an executive decision, the Night Raptors were decommissioned and brought back into the House. The team was shelved until 31 ABY.

On Wings of Hate

After the Ninth Great Jedi War, changes were made in House Marka Ragnos and Clan Naga Sadow as a whole; former Grand Master Jedgar Paladin took the Quaestorship of Marka Ragnos while Jade Sadow took the second-in-command position of Aedile. In addition to a former Grand Master coming back to the Clan of Sadow, another Son of Sadow also ascended to the highest position possible in the entire Brotherhood; the rank of Grand Master and the right to sit on the Iron Throne; Muz Ashen, now known by the moniker of Darth Ashen.

Within days of Muz’s accession, his first decree was his choosing of a new Shadow Hand, or Deputy Grand Master, and he chose none other than Jedgar Paladin to take up the mantle of his second. Almost flawlessly, another leadership revolution shook the House Marka Ragnos, for the better; Jade Sadow took up Quaestor, Zaxen Dauketrenal Isradia became the Aedile after an application process and by massive demand, Manji Keibatsu Sadow was installed as Rollmaster.

It was during this revolution that the House Summit announced their first official mandate; the re-opening of the training Battleteam, the Night Raptors, under the leadership of the up-and-coming Jedi Hunter, Fremoc “Demonic” Pepoi.

Let Demons Reign

When Commander Fremoc Pepoi, callsign “Demonic” and former Commando, took command, things started looking up for the Night Raptors. Weekly status updates were filed with the Brotherhood database and new operating procedures and a Battleteam chain of command was implemented, with two Flight Leaders backing up the Battleteam Leader; Valorian and Horus Blackheart. In late 31 ABY, Fremoc and his Team shined in an event called the Fractured Mirror, going so far as to earn the much sought after title of Consul’s Own, which was the Clan designation of elite unit.

Fallout

However, before the Battleteam could celebrate their victory, a resurgence of the Yuuzhan Vong appeared and with them their unholy vengeance, wasting the cities of Kar Alabrek and many outlying villages and settlements all across Tarthos. The Ragnosian capital was not the only planet ravaged, as an even more fierce attack decimated Seng Karash on Aeotheran and guerilla attacks sprouted across the surface of the Clan planet, Sepros.

Dubbing the massacre “Fallout”, the Consul ordered all of his Battleteams to retaliate by patrolling their cities, engaging the Yuuzhan Vong and extinguishing the fires that raged across the Orian System. It was in these preliminary patrols that the Night Raptors discovered something that was completely unexpected…the Yuuzhan Vong were not alone; they had forged an alliance with the Peace Brigade as well as rogue Jedi, those who had converted to the Vong religion.

It is in this predicament that the Consul’s Own find themselves, with a war on the home front. Under the leadership of Fremoc “Demonic” Pepoi, Dark Jedi Knight and Krath Commander, the Raptors are sure to come out on top and prove themselves the rightful elite of Clan Naga Sadow.
