- "... As long as I draw breath, Naga Sadow lives. As long as I hold this sword, Naga Sadow's strength endures. As long as we remain ever vigilant, Clan Naga Sadow will never fall! Long live the Heirs to the Empire..."
- ―Astronicus Aurelius Sadow
Naga Sadow is the body of Sons, Daughters and Disciples who serve Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, the heir of the Sadow dynasty and Overlord of the Clan. Disciples of Sadow have reorganized several times between a House or Clan of the Dark Brotherhood but in 33 ABY, the cults of Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh were united once more when the Sadow dynasty reaffirmed its singular rule as a House; since then the Disciples have continued under Astronicus' rule as a Clan operating under the cover of the Dlarit Corporation. In the years surrounding Exodus, the Clan's followers also adopted the teachings of Urias Orian in addition to those of its three originating cults of disciples; recently however the Disciples of Sadow maintain a more militaristic doctrine focusing on the revival of the true Sith Empire.
Brief history
- Main article: Naga Sadow History
The House began when Astronicus Dlarit was visited by a ghost who inspired him to gather rogue Dark Jedi to his banner. Tron did this, bringing together a ragtag group from various backgrounds at his home on Sif, of which he was then the governor. The spirit then revealed itself to be Naga Sadow and Tron sought out the lost tribes of Ludo Kressh and Marka Ragnos, together forming the alliance known as Clan Naga Sadow.
For a time the Clan operated peacefully under the guise of the Dlarit Corporation until the betrayal of the Imperial Remnant and the ensuing Exodus. Led by the visions of Urias Orian as discerned by Trevarus Caerick through his Amulet, the Clan relocated to the lost Orian system and adopted many of the forgotten teachings found there. The Clan and Corporation then prospered for several years until the invasion of the galaxy by the Yuuzhan Vong and the five years of warfare that followed.
The Yuuzhan Vong War took its toll and the Clan lost much, not just journeymen but even among its greatest elders; some fell in battle, but many more were lost in spirit. During the war Orian became something of a haven for refugees and its cities bulged at the walls to support them, but they helped maintain the armed forces in the face of the many threats the system faced over the years. Even with the Vong Empire defeated, the Orian Sector remains a particularly dangerous location.
As the Clan looked to the future, it worked to strengthen itself should anything like the Yuuzhan Vong War happen again. To this end the recruit-based Dlarit Security Force was slowly replaced with a loyal clone army in the form of the Special Operations Group. Having weathered the Vong, the Clan believed it could survive anything and returned to working towards the reestablishment of the true Sith Empire, as led by the Sadow dynasty as the heirs to the last true emperor. To this end, the House of Sadow returned from the shadows, bringing all its disciples under one banner for the first time in nearly two decades as House Naga Sadow. While the cults of Dakhan, Goluud, Kressh and Ragnos remain, Clan Naga Sadow continues to weather whatever is thrown their way and look toward the future with their Overlord's vision of one, united Sadow Empire.

Astrography
- Main article: [[Orian system|Orian system]]
The Orian system is a 7-planet system, located on the outskirts of Sith Space in the Outer Rim, which was discovered by the Sith Lord Urias Orian over five millenia ago. It is located in the Esstran Sector at the "northern" end of the Trans-Hydian Borderlands between the two Super-hyperroutes: the Hydian Way and Perlemian Trade Route. Orian rests on the "northern" outskirts of the Stygian Caldera, the large nebulosity that encircles the worlds of the original Sith Empire. It is not far from the Listehol Run, which connects with the Shaltin Tunnels, therefore placing the entire system within trading distance of the Corporate Sector where the Dlarit Corporation regularly does business. It is a unique binary system consisting of a red giant, Orian Major, and a yellow dwarf, Orian Minor. While being a binary system is not overly unique in and of itself, the fact that the companion star orbits its host nimbly between the system's Astroid belt of Dentavii and its sixth planet of Tarthos without destroying the system is rather astonishing, though this also provides severe climate distortions throughout the system. Understandably, due to the orbital patterns of the stars and the various astral bodies within the system, a standard passage of day and night are nearly impossible to adjust to and have been quoted as "irritable and erratic" by many individuals accustomed to the system.
Historically Orian was abandoned following the Great Hyperspace War and its location became difficult to ascertain until the arrival of Urias Orian and subsequently the Disciples of Sadow; however its location near the Hydian Way and the Orian Pipeline itself has found an increase in traffic since the Yuuzhan Vong War when refugees began to overwhelm the system. As such Orian and its surrounding Hyperspace routes are heavily patrolled by the Dlarit Naval Command under the authority of the Special Operations Group and Corporation who publicly maintain control over the entire system to ensure the security of both the civilian population and its true masters.
Major Locations
Sepros
New Sadow Palace, the Sadowan Headquarters
- Main article: [[Sepros|Sepros]]
Sepros is the true Capital of the Disciples of Sadow, their main base of operations in the New Sadow Palace. Its a heavily forested world covered in trees very similar to the great Wroshyr trees of Kashyyyk and suffers from torrential rainfall and extreme humidity as a result. Similarly to Kashyyyk, the planet's surface rarely has the light of Orian's twin stars falling upon it and such as a "shadow lands" which often serve as home and breeding grounds to the many hostile creatures of Sepros, both native and those imported long ago by the Sith Lord Orian. While the planet itself is quite unruly and often chaotic from the extremely heavy saturation of Dark Side energies, it does often maintain a presence of Dlarit officers in addition to many esoteric scholars seeking enlightenment into the history of the Sith; while the latter are often from the Brotherhood itself those who aren't just as often find themselves pressed into work for the Dlarit Corporation. Aside from military and scholastic pursuits, Sepros is also heavily mined by the Corporation for its rich Baradium veins located beneath the ancient Orian temples. Sepros itself is often avoided by the general civilian population due to a rather pressing sense of dread and foreboding emanating from the planet, it is also a restricted zone within the Orian system in part due to the prevalence of Darksiders but also due to the dangers of the local wildlife tainted and driven insane by the Dark Side.
In recent times the planet has unearthed more extensive ruins within the crash site of the Plagueian VSDII Ballista followed a failed incursion against the Disciples of Sadow.
