A team of Odan-Tar members wiki article for vendetta event: Anshar, Jason Hunter, Raiju, Alexander DelGotto, and Lambow
In 36 ABY, a mysterious sickness began to spread through the Brotherhood. Often referred to as a plague, the sickness seemed to infect those attuned to the Force. Starting with the newest journeymen, the plague seemed to progress upwards through the ranks and caused a loss of the Force to the affected individuals. The sudden loss of the Force caused many members of the Brotherhood to seemingly go crazy. Almost simultaneously, the houses and clans of the Brotherhood were attacked by an unknown, but well equipped, enemy.
History
Internal Conflict
Shortly before the plague began to infect the members of the Brotherhood, several new recruits of extremely high caliber passed through the Shadow Academy. Surpassing all expectations, these members quickly made their way to various houses and clans of the Brotherhood. For a short time, their incredible talents never went unnoticed. There were reports of journeymen dueling with Force Lightning, a power very rarely seen outside of the elder ranks. These seemingly overpowered recruits also proved to be very arrogant, emboldened by their powers and their rapid progression. This lead to at least one death when one "super" Guardian from Scholae Palatinae challenged an Equite. While the houses and clans had previously welcomed the new recruits, concerns began to mount. However, the damage had already been done.
These new "super" recruits were the first to be struck by the plague, but they were not the last. As more and more journeymen fell victim to the unknown disease, fear and panic took control. The journeymen revolted against their leaders, leading to armed conflict. At the same time, the Shadow Academy was placed on lockdown, but not before many of the trainees there broke loose and began to riot and ransack the place.
Invasions
While the houses and clans of the Brotherhood were embroiled by virtual civil war, all but Odan-Urr were attacked by unknown forces.
The Plague
The Plague, known official as Thren’s Horizon Plague, was apparently crafted by Lysu Thren in the form of what appeared to be a powder, but was in fact numerous cysts. The plague has been described as something that is an abomination to both the Force and to science. It thrives on those who are attuned to the Force.
Signs and Symptoms
While the first victims of the plague appear to have gained incredible power, it is not known if this is because of the plague or because of something else.
