Battleteam

Battleteams are the basic organization unit within the Dark Brotherhood and fall under the command of a Battleteam Leader. These teams are grouped within a particular House and can either be aligned to the same Order or consist of members from multiple Orders. Upon completing training in the Shadow Academy, new members can be assigned to a Battleteam by their House Summit. Further ranks and awards can be gained by active participation in the team. In the past, the general structure of the Battleteams was as listed below:

	SITH	OBELISK	KRATH
Battleteam Name	Squadron	Brigade	Phyle
Battleteam Leader	Sith Commander (CMDR)	Obelisk Sergeant (SGT)	Krath Tetrarch (TET)
Secondary Leader	Sith Flight Leader (FL)	None	None
Battleteam Member	Sith Flight Member (FM)	Obelisk Trooper (TRP)	Krath Tyro (TYR)

Since the advent of Multi-order houses, however, the terms gradually fell into disuse and are now archaic. Previous battleteams were limited to 12 members; this was an hangover from the days of Sith Battleteams being squadrons. This limit is now not enforced.

Formation of New Battleteams

New Battleteams will only be approved when the other teams in the same House have reached an acceptable level of capacity. This level is determined by the Master at Arms. In addition, any changes to the name of a Battleteam must be approved by the Master at Arms.
