| ===The Order of the Trident=== | | ===Deathsworn=== |
| Order of the Trident (OoT) is a team of skilled Sith (including former Krath and Obelisk) that serves as a special task force in Clan Tarentum. Leveraging the experience of older members, and the exuberance of newer members, its mission is to take on tough jobs for the Clan. Initially formed under the leadership of Knight [[Ranarr Kul]], with Sith Battle Lord [[Pel]] as Patron and guiding force, it is currently Sith Battle Lord [[Apollo|Hades]]. Intentionally designed and designated to evoke the nostalgia and power of House Tridens, the former (Sith) House of Clan Tarentum, it is far more capable than the old House. Members of the OoT have been granted permission by the Clan Summit to take on roles in the Military of Tarentum, and have been inserted into various levels – Pel and Hades both up near the top, as former Admirals in the TIE Corps, and newer members like Zill and Isuca taking positions lower down the chain. This allows OoT to have direct influence over the military, to covertly guide it, as well as overtly take on missions. OoT has been placed into House Mortis, giving the House Summit the ability to use OoT to further its goals, while the Clan Summit can still (via proxy) utilize it for the benefit of the Clan. To increase the abilities of the Faction, the Clan Summit has granted use of the "[[house Mortis#Naval Units|BAC Doomsday]]" and a modified complement of forces when necessary.
| | The Deathsworn were trained in the arts of necromancy under the tutelage of [[Sith Bloodfyre-Tarentae]] and his students. Their direct purpose was to create "wounds" in the Force through the most atrocious and vile acts thinkable by living beings. The members of the Deathsworn believed that these wounds would enhance the power of the Dark Side both in those locations and in themselves, contributing to an unbalancing of the Force toward the Dark Side. |
| The additional forces embarked on the "Doomsday" are:
| |
| *3x MAAT
| |
| *3xATR-6 Assault Transport (already part of the Doomsday's normal complement)
| |
| *4x Squads of Rangers
| |
| *16x Squads Infantry
| |
| *1x Sniper team
| |
| *1x Medic Squad
| |
| *2x Engineer Squads
| |
| *1x Set of Speeder Bikes (4 in total)

| *2x AT-ST
