House Revan is an Independent House founded under Grand Master Muz Ashen’s restructuring of the Dark Brotherhood. Designed under a new strategy and a wholly different kind of organization, Independent House Revan operates without a military, without the facade of a multi-trillion credit corporation, and without a planetary system to call home. House Revan does not rely on a quasi-feudal court, nor legions of Force-deaf sycophants, and it does not place its faith in a long lost Dark Lord.
The founders of House Revan believe a void in leadership plagues the Dark Brotherhood. This vacuum has recently been filled by emotional, destructive, and unnecessarily abusive Dark Jedi who have reduced the Brotherhood's effectiveness. The insidious natures of many of these leaders have led to elite politics and the formation of unhealthy rivalries. Unfortunately, many new members of the Dark Brotherhood have modeled themselves after this behavior and believe it is the only way to survive or advance. House Revan is designed to offer an alternative to the politics and immaturity that thrive in other organizations by focusing on the House's agenda, advancing its members, and strengthening the Dark Brotherhood as a whole.
Brief History
Following the reclamation of Antei in 30 ABY, Grand Master Muz Ashen sought to restructure and reinvigorate the basic organization and administration of the Dark Brotherhood. This strategic move both unsettled the status quo in the Dark Brotherhood and placed the Six Clans on notice that their survival was no longer a thing to be taken for granted.
The House Revan founders took advantage of this opportunity and sought out new dominion within the Brotherhood. Ignoring the normal structure and design of Dark Brotherhood Clans, House Revan was established on the basic premise that there is more to the Dark Brotherhood than the blind devotion to Elders, personality cults, and failed traditions.
House Revan offers an alternative to the sophomoric politics and herd mentality plaguing some Clans in the Brotherhood. Our House model is one of individual accountability where every member is responsible for their success or failure and answers to each accordingly.
Government and Politics
The Insurgency Period
Operational Model
Insurgency - An organized movement aimed at the overthrow of a constituted government through use of subversion and armed conflict.
House Revan operates without dogma, borders, and without conventional restrictions. We believe in utilizing an agile operational approach designed to provoke an uprising against the galactic order. Propaganda, subversion, and terrorism are the methods we utilize to achieve our goals. House Revan seeks out its enemy’s vulnerabilities, exploits those vulnerabilities, and then seeks to exhaust and bleed conventional forces in a battle of will.
Organization
House Revan is an extremely proficient, well-organized, and well-equipped force. A full-time clandestine network operates with logistics and operational teams. These teams in turn utilize a part-time network of contacts and sources who cooperate and provide assistance when called upon. House Revan utilizes a "Cell Structure" to organize agents operating under its flag. The following is a breakdown of the two House Revan Cells:
Echo: The Elite Clandestine Cell within House Revan. Echo conducts activities under a model where if successful, they are completely unknown to their adversary. If at any time Echo is compromised they cease all operational activity and re-establish activity in a non-related theater of operations.
Sierra: The Sleeper Cell within House Revan. Sierra is an isolated group of sleeper agents who attempt to infiltrate networks and organizations until they are activated to conduct terror attacks or sabotage. This cell acts in a covert capability, where the enemy knows something is happening, but they cannot identify who is conducting the attack or sponsoring it.

The Unification Period
Operational Model
House Revan continues to work agilely against its opponents. Its members are given the freedom to act by whatever means they find necessary to achieve their personal goals and provide for the unity of the House. While many of the approaches favored by the Insurgency remain in the repertoire of the members, actions are not restricted to just these models.
Organization
Revanites pursue their own growth and potential and allow their fellow Revanites to reach their potentials. Most of the organization structures originally set forth fell into disuse; individuals are expected to recognize their strengths and weaknesses, to work towards greater strength and lesser weaknesses through training, and to ally themselves with other members who can provide that training.
House Revan does not exist as anything more than a name. Its members pursue a variety of tasks devoted to personal and collective gain without attracting attention to the existence of the House. By necessity, the House leadership must interact with the Dark Council. Unlike the previous incarnation of Revan, the Unification Period leaned away from the power-focused Insurgency to return to the original core of House Revan as expressed at the outset of the House: "House Revan is designed to offer an alternative to the politics and immaturity that thrive in other organizations by focusing on the House's agenda, advancing its members, and strengthening the Dark Brotherhood as a whole."
House Revan has no borders. House Revan is supported by its members and exists to support its members. Its leadership is devoted to the well-being of the House and the enduring strength found in adaptable unity.
In the effort to build up the potential of its members, House Revan included a small team lead by Aabsdu Dupar. While Aurek Cell ultimately dissolved, it continued the traditions of the House in finding innovative ways to build strength in unity.
Astrography
Sigma Horizon
House Revan operates without a base of operations, however, the name Sigma Horizon has been given to locations used for meeting points. These meetings can take place anywhere and the location can vary from a planet to an asteroid, a capital starship or a casino.
Salas V
A territorial holding of House Revan, Salas V remains an outpost of traders and mercenaries. The House keeps a small base on the planet as a safe-house for its members but otherwise doesn't interfere with planetary affairs. The planet was granted to the House after the Rite of Supremacy in 32 ABY.
Important Figures
House Revan derives power from its members. Thus, all members of House Revan are deemed important figures. No one member is esteemed above another nor would the House seek to publicize those members who have achieved operational or tactical success.
Despite the belief that all members are important, House Revan does work under a meritocracy where appointments are made and responsibilities are given based on demonstrated talent and ability.
In this belief, House Revan has limited internal societies and no titled merit awards.
