D'Tana

Who We Are

The d'Tana family used to be a predominantly Arconan family, with ties to both great Houses of Arcona. Although, they have recently endeavored to spread themselves out over the Brotherhood systems in order to re-establish their presence. Founded by Voranyen d'Tana, he brought in several of those who were his Brothers in the Force: Alex and Koskian, and Gavin Dahl. Some years later Selene and Malidir (he defected to the Erinos family) were both brought into the family, recognizing their value and spirit of guidance that they were providing the Clan they were in at the time. Lucius joined the family after coming back from some time away from Clan Arcona. Recently added to the Family are Rho, who has recently been appointed Aedile of House Galeres and Knight Class Envoy of Clan Arcona under the new leadership of Mejas Doto, Etah, who has held a number of different positions within Arcona and has proven to be a great leader and Orv who has also been a leader and is currently the Aedile of House Qel-Droma of Clan Arcona and has proven a great asset to making Arcona into a bigger and better place to serve the Brotherhood. The d'Tana's have since then been able to bring in other notable Brotherhood members into the family: Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine who happens to be the Consul of Clan Scholae Palatinae and has great influence in his position, Debric d'Tana who has proven to be a great asset to the family, Adien Corsair d'Tana who is one of the ones to have most recently joined and in whom the rest of the family has more than enough confidence that he will add to the family influence. The family's 10th member who has most recently joined is Acheron 'Briareos' d'Tana. It was not considered lightly to add him to the family since he would be the final member, but with much discussion and consideration, the family collectively knew that having Acheron in the family would only prove for the betterment of the d'Tana's and their agenda. Although, even more recently after joining the family, he realized that his time in the Brotherhood had come to a screeching halt. Acheron then retired and now no one really knows where he has gone to spend his retirement. One can only hope that he will return one day.

The d'Tana Family has been a driving force within especially Arcona since it's inception, if not on the actual Summit at times. They have been able to bring forth their quiet influence from the Shadows, offering wisdom to the leaders of the Clan. Often it seems that those who are distrusted by this family and it's fellows have not remained in power or the Clan for long.

What We Do

Over the last several years, and since Clan Arcona settled in the Dajorra system, the d'Tana family has seen fit to expand the Clan's power base in any manner they could; legally or otherwise. Mostly the latter is true. With the discovery of a type of spice on Eldar: Garconian, the d'Tana Family spear headed the initiative of getting mining bases and a trade routes to nearby Hutt space established. The Tana route has been a lucrative form of income for House Galeres, and helped fund many projects for Clan Arcona as a whole.

Smuggling has been in the hearts of the Family for several years as well. More often than not, the personal craft of a d'Tana coming back to Eldar would show signs of battle. Never have they lost cargo, nor a ship, and the heat of fighting off the 'good guys' of law enforcement is an intense draw and they see it as a challenge.

In more recent times, with Selene going Missing in Action in Tarentum territory (Pre-Alliance), Lucius leaving Arcona for another clan, and recently having a leadership change under the new Arconan Consul, Mejas Doto, a few others have been shifted out of their leadership positions. As a result, the family has lost some of the influence they have had in the Brotherhood as a whole. Although, they continue with their family dealings as if nothing had ever changed and their influence on the Brotherhood Planetary Systems, they have confidence, will once again rise to its full potential.
