| == Introduction ==
| |
| Ambition is one of the defining characteristics of those who walk the Dark Path. Through their own desire, and lust for [[Power Comparison|power]], they have succeeded in throwing off the values of their cultural backgrounds, and accepting the goals and discipline of the Brotherhood. The problems within an organization as diverse as the Brotherhood, must be overcome with some form of stratification Those in power, the Grand Masters and Elders of the Dark Side carefully instruct their students, using their drive to success as a means of maintaining control over the masses of Journeymen and Equites. This creates an intensely contentious political atmosphere within the Brotherhood.
| |
| | |
| The most obvious of the political controls, is the Hierarchy of Classes and [[Ranks]]. Every Dark Jedi who seeks, and gains admission to the Brotherhood begins on the bottom of the ladder. The Grand Masters disregard all prior training in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi Jedi] Arts, and may even suppress the power of an unusual applicant. This ensures that all applicants may begin training according to the strict procedures of the [[Shadow Academy]]. The Dark Side of the Force is tempting in its allure to quick power, and will draw the attentions of the ambitious. Many [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] literally burn themselves out on emotional fuel as they seek power beyond what they are capable of understanding. The Brotherhood stresses the need for gradual development.
| |
| | |
| Most political positions, such as [[Clan Summit|Summit]] status, and [[Dark Council|Dark Councilor]] are also dependent on a certain rank. As a Brethren progresses, and develops understanding, they are rewarded with positions of greater prestige. It is almost unheard of for a [[Protector]] to command a [[Phyle]] or [[Battleteam]], much less a [[House]], whereas a [[Dark Jedi Knight|Knight]] of reasonable influence could expect to achieve a command position within a [[House]]. [[Elder|Elders]] are almost universally on the [[Dark Council]] or seated upon a [[Clan Summit]]. Those who are not positioned are usually [[Rogue]] Jedi, though a significant number are still active within the [[Clans]].

| == Rank Elevations ==
| |
| It is a great honor when any Dark Jedi receives a rank elevation. When a Dark Jedi advances, it is because a mentor has determined that the Dark Jedi has surpassed the abilities of his current rank. Only certain Jedi can give rank elevations to others. However, anyone may recommend someone for advancement by contacting a person's superior. The Grand Master and the Master at Arms have final jurisdiction over all advancements. If they do not find that the candidate is worthy, then no elevation is given. All advancements must be approved by the Master At Arms prior to the announcement of the new rank, with the sole exception of the Headmaster of the Shadow Academy, who is able to directly confer elevations through the Journeymen ranks in the course of a Dark Jedi's training. The Master At Arms will generally approve promotions according to the following table. Should a person recommend another for a promotion past what their position normally entails, the MAA will get DGM or GM approval before proceeding.
