The Battle for Rhelg
Naval Engagement

With the first planet already under the control of the Brotherhood, Arcona’s navy still felt bitter about the loss that took place on Krayiss II. Taldryan had taken the victory from under the nose of the well trained fleet and the annoyance of the command officers could be seen throughout the ships day to day workings. With this being the second chance for the Arcona fleet to once more prove themselves, the air aboard the Eye of the Abyss II was full of tension. Each Captain from the fleet was summoned to a meeting to talk about the upcoming battle.
Wuntila Arconae lead this meeting, demanding that the Arconan fleet proved itself to be stronger than the rest of the Brotherhood. As they were given their coordinates to advance onto a planet known as Rhelg with orders in hand, all of the fleet prepared to jump, wanting to prove themselves to be the best of the Brotherhood once more. Alas, Arcona arrived only to once more find the One Sith fleet waiting for them.
Engaging in full scale naval combat, the Arconan forces threw everything they had at the One Sith only to find it was equally powerful. Though the surprise was yet to come, lurking away from the rest was the Eye of the Abyss II, silent and dormant in space. Its Cloaking device activated as it made its way around the enemy lines with ease, while the main fighting was done head to head.
Arcona soon found that their bombers were having trouble getting through the waves of fighters that the One Sith deployed. Taldryan and Odan-Urr were not faring well either. Being held back against the line it seemed that this planet was more difficult to conquer with naval superiority than before. However, the XJ-Wings that recently joined Arcona seemed to be going toe to toe in dog fights against the One Sith’s own fighters.
Without the ability to get their bombers through the lines, it meant that the damage the Shadow Clan’s larger ships were taking would soon penetrate their shielding. As blasts pelted the side of the NSD Invicta, she took damage to her back hull, causing intermittent failure of one of her engines. It was time to once again pull out Arcona’s Naval Procedure. As the ISDII came up alongside the nearest of One Sith’s capital ships, it dropped its cloaking device and fired a broadside into the unsuspecting ships. With one of their capital ships obliterated, the One Sith were left with no other option but to retreat, beaten back by the might of Arcona’s proven Navy and clever use of strategy and tactics on the part of the Arconan commanders..
It didn't take long after that for Arcona to prove its dominance once more, taking glory on the planet as the Arconan fleet dominated the orbit of Rhelg. Now the fighting would be taken to the ground and the prospect of coming out on top was a worthy challenge for the Shadow Clan.

The Betrayer’s Headstone
The two Entars still bristle when reminded about that incident; their time spent in the Fortress was not a fond one. The memories of watching his closest friend and mentor falling under the blade of the One Sith Master found within the ancient structure still haunt the Quaestor of Galeres. The experience drove Sanguinius to new heights of power and hatred as he cut down the One Sith in revenge before calling for immediate extraction from the building.
Despite the coordination of Arcona’s efforts, the entire Clan still faced many failings within the Fortress. Ludo Kressh’s presence was omnipotent within its walls, and the rage and power affected many others. While some were possessed, like those of Wuntila’s forward team, others experienced great fits of rage, blackouts, loss of conscious control, or otherwise simply channeled the Dark Side in ways they never had.
In the assault team headed by the Galeres Summit, Novice Atyiru Araave unknowingly launched a powerful Force Lightning attack (typically reserved for Sith Lords) on both Cethgus and Sanguinius. The two leaders were knocked unconscious as a result and are still teased about the incident to the day by the recently knighted Miraluka.

My Enemy, My Friend
Arcona’s sole Mon Calamari, Troutrooper, was gunned down while in a dogfight with a One Sith pilot, but not before inflicting severe damage to the enemy’s fighter as well. The Dark Jedi Master was injured in the ensuing crash; he has since fully recovered. Shadow Taldrya prevented Troutrooper from realizing his grand plans as the Son of Taldrya finished what Troutrooper began.
