History
- "Arconan shadows take control"
- ― The orginal Spectre Cell motto, taken from the Hymn of Arcona written and composed by Dalthid
After the decommission of Battleteam Revenance Virtuom, the Summit of House Galeres spent several weeks deliberating with the Summit of the Clan Arcona on whether a new Battleteam should be opened. In the end a decision was reached and the Summit appointed Dark Jedi Knight Celevon Edraven with the responsibility of creating a new Battle Team, Spectre Cell.
Celevon sought to train a group of scouts and snipers to partake in covert operations. He based his ideas off of ancient legends about Sith Assassins, and based the group off of their methods. The young Dark Jedi decided Spectre Cell would operate similarly, but instead of using retractable staves, the members of Spectre Cell would primarily use daggers and rifles.
The team formed a mainstay of Arna’s special operations arsenal, serving in Rite of Supremacy Horizons and a number of other conflicts during this initial period under the command of Cethgus Entar and Etah D’tana.Unfortunately for the young team disturbances in Arconan leadership lead to it’s ultimate closing and the reformation of the Soulfire Strike Team.
Eight years later, in 36 ABY, the closing of Battleteam Nighthawk led to a rare opportunity for a new team to form in it’s place. This new team decided to take up the old banner of Spectre Cell, and the battleteam was officially reformed. CONTINUE HISTORY HERE
