- "...and he shall be given Power over a fourth..."
- ―excerpt from an ancient edict issued from the Iron Throne
As one of the four Battle Team Leaders of Clan Naga Sadow, the Tetrarch enjoys a unique distinction, and is issued a ring of zersium alloy with an onyx disc, called the 'Signet of The Winds'. The onyx disc is then etched with Sith Alchemy using the bearer's own blood into a pattern representing the very winds that the Team is named for. This step ensures the Tetrarch's loyalty to the Team so that he or she may enjoy the loyalty of the same. Further, the disc is inlayed with aurbesh writing of gold, translated to read 'Libertas In Tenebarum', or 'Freedom in Darkness'. This standard reminds the Tetrarch that he has the full blessing of his House and Clan Summits to make command decisions in grooming the finest combatants and future leaders of the House and Clan. This freedom rings of responsibility as well, as the Tetrarch is reminded that he or she is charged with ensuring all Team members understand that they are to give their life's blood to maintain the exacting standards of House Ludo Kressh and Clan Naga Sadow, as they themselves have given their own in the construction of the signet.
At the Tetrarch's discretion, he or she has the authority to recognize a member who embodies the Serpents' ideal, and may issue a facsimile of the Signet of The Winds to such a member.
Training and Equipment
In addition to having full access to the training facilities of the Antei Combat Center, the Jade Serpents are instructed in a variety of combat areas, such as the fundamentals of slicing, espionage, Long Range Recon and Patrol (LRRP), and holdout techniques, just to name a few. The standard equipment of a Jade Serpents' Team member is as follows:
A Jade Serpents Battle Team member also receives training in the SoroSuub X-45 sniper rifle, the BlasTech DL-87 "Firespray" weapon and the Prax Arms AXM-50 equipped with the MGL-1 micro-grenade launcher. The result of such extensive cross-training ensures the Jade Serpents can operate in nearly any tactical arena and situation, conducting breach and boarding operations, counter-intelligence, holdout and heavy assault missions with deadly efficiency.
Additionally, the Tetrarch trains the team members in esoteric combat techniques, utilizing bladed weapons, silent projectiles, and the like. The exposure to such techniques gives the Jade Serpents team member the freedom to choose their own weaponry in which to specialize as prospective leaders; the disciplined manner in which the training is conducted can be likened to meditation, which gives the members a means to focus their unbridled rage, giving them more control over their Force Powers as Dark Side users.
