Objective
Guided by the Exarch, the Envoy Corps accepts and assigns out contracts in the form of operations, bounties and missions that benefit communities, cultures, and systems that are in need of resources and support. This outreach initiative operates for the betterment of the Brotherhood's reputation among rival organizations and to cement their position of power beyond the Unknown Regions, all while bridging relationships between the Council and the Clans.
History
The Envoy Corps was formed as a diplomacy-focused organization responsible for handling the Brotherhood's efforts to build a positive image on the greater stage of the Galaxy. While it might look like a public-relations gambit by the Brotherhood, the Council has put their full weight and support behind the Envoy Corps altruistic and philanthropic endeavors.
Exarch Marick Tyris Arconae
As the Brotherhood continues to find itself up against other powerful organizations in the Unknown Regions, Grand Master Evant Taelyan green lit a new initiative proposed by former High Councilor Alethia Archenksova in 40 ABY. This initiative would serve multiple purposes, with the primary being the improvement of the The Council's reputation with the seven Clans and their respective allies. Parallel in importance was the Brotherhood's image to both rivals and potential trade partners which, in theory, would lead to more opportunities for cementing their seat of power and the growth of commerce.
Alethia was appointed as the Brotherhood's first Exarch, and laid the foundation that would lead to eventual codification of the Envoy Corps.
When Archenksova was elevated to the Council role of Headmistress, she called upon a trusted colleage who been consulting remotely until that point. So it was that retired Voice of the Brotherhood - Marick Tyris Arconae - took over as the new Exarch. Tyris leveraged his extensive experience and background in overseeing the restructuring of the Inquisitorius, his respect with the active Council members aiding in clearing the administrative and technical hurdles required to bring the Envoy Corps to life.
With the Envoy Corps undertaking its first missions, Marick began to organize and deploy Brotherhood members and personnel.
Personnel

Envoy's come in all shapes and sizes. While the main body of the Envoy Corps is made up of members from all seven Clans of the Brotherhood, it also employees a diverse range of pilots, administrators, coordinators, and other resources from across the Galaxy. As their presence and impact grows within the Unknown Regions and expands towards the Outer Rim, the Exarch has made efforts to ensure that recruits come from different social and economical classes, by pulling promising graduates from universities, as well as visiting orphanages and working with veterans to help find new opportunities for them after careers of war.
Envoy's are not required to wear uniform, but can be often seen sporting the tailored threads bearing the Envoy Corps insignia across the chest.
Beyond that, there are a few recurring staff members that can often be found representing the Envoy Corps.
Charron Reddick
Having "retired" from active service as a Grand Inquisitor, Charon Reddick came out of retirement to help aid Exarch Marick Tyris Arconae in bolstering Envoy Corps operations. The two shared a long history working together in the Inquisitorius while Marick was serving as Voice. This relationship made it easy for Marick to trust Charon with being the "face" of the Envoy Corps as its "Concierge".
Charon carries the reputation of his former moniker: The Ferryman. Not only does he still retain one of the highest success rates for the number of missions he has successfully carried out, he was known, especially in his prime, for his ability to act the stoic executioner when called upon.
As was discovered during the recovery of stolen information from the Envoy Corps, he is also quite a fan of Eastern Expanse comic books and novella's and was revealed to have a sizable collection.
Steven Jerryson
A young, upcoming pilot for the Envoy Corps. Took a jab at his confidence when, on his first flight and mission, he was ousted from the controls by an ambitious Envoy.
Naval Assets

The Envoy Corps has been allotted three flights of Lamba-class T4a shuttles to help transport members of the Brotherhood to locations of need and to "carry" the Brotherhood's diplomatic banner.
The Urbanae
They were also granted the use of a Charger c70 Consular-class Cruiser named The Urbanae.
Headquarters and Locations
While the Envoy Corps operates across the galaxy, the headquarters are centered in the Arx System
Lunar Training Facility
The Lunar Training Facility on Arx Minor serves as the base of operations for the Envoy Corps. It is where the Exarch's office is located, above which sits a detention and processing facility for bounties and contracts.
Exarch's Office
On the second floor of the Lunar Training Facility sits the Exarch's office. A long, sectional desk with multiple monitors and terminals sit beneath large viewports overlooking both planet Arx and the rest of Arx Minor. The cable management is impeccable, with no excess or clutter anywhere to be seen. Thanks to the current Exarch's preferences, there is a place for everything, neatly organized, and plenty of room for temporary documents, plans, or projects to be worked on. A full reception area can host a few guests, as well as a holoprojector for local presentations of missions or data. There is also a holocam station set up for the Exarch to send or record or send out mission briefings to Envoys in the field.

The Flitz
The flagship Flitz Hotel on Arx Minor
Arx Minor Location
The Flitz is a chain of luxury hotels that have been constructed around Brotherhood space. The main location, however, can be found on Arx Minor, open to any members of the Brotherhood's various societies that are passing through the Arx System. Liaisons for the Inquisitorius, Grand Master's Royal Guard, Shroud Syndicate are often stationed there, with full service concierge and amenities available to guests. It is also linked to the Lunar Training Facility.

The hotels themselves manifest as a wedge-shaped building made of dark, sleek moonstone mined from the core of Arx Minor. There is only a single entrance, always with a bright, glowing, golden light. Small square windows, symmetrical to the buildings design mimic the glow of the entrances inviting light.
Upon entering, sliding glass doors open to reveal a well lit lobby with plush couches and a bar with a long marble counter.
Two fountains flank the entry-way carpet that leads down the hall to the front desk, where Charon Reddick is usually found waiting. There is another linked hallway that leads to a secure underground meeting location for VIPs, and a connection to the Lunar Training Facility.
On the upper floor, and towards the rear of the facility is the Central Monitoring station, which allows security to keep an eye on the various amenities and hallways.

Eos City Location
Located in the heart of Arx's capital city, the guests that stay at the Eos City Flitz are usually VIPs doing work or having business with the Council, the Iron Forces, or the Aurora Collegium of Sciences. It features full executive amenities, dining, and valet parking vouchers.
The Shame Corner
In the dark of space along the Hydian Way, a black dwarf star sits, neither lonely nor forgotten. Its gravity well is used as an anchor for one of many millions of service stations and rest stops that dot the intergalactic space-routes: Station 0H40-S0, more fondly known as The Shame Corner. With connections to the Envoy Corps, the station provides not only respite and refueling for members bearing the insignia, but also serves as a port for any galactic denizen, and all kinds walk, hover, or wheel through its doors.

Uskil: Uncharted I
|
Golden Envoy:
Envoys:
|
Objective
It had been two long years since the SARLACC incident at the Corrino Research Laboratory. On Uskil, teams of cartographers, droids, and drones have made progress in mapping the continent, albeit slowly thanks to the Collegium's shift in focus on studying the Children of Mortis' technology. Everything seemed to be running smoothly, until strange anomalies began to pop up across Uskil. Expedition teams have started to go missing. Any recordings or evidence that have been found or recovered reveal little beyond flashes of claws and fangs, tentacles and tendrils, and the shrieks of the dying.
In response, Headmistress Alethia Archenskov has enlisted the help of the Envoy Corps to investigate these troubling occurrences before matters escalate or get any worse. Exarch Marick Tyris Arconae agreed and began to assemble a team.
Mission Log
The Envoys assigned to investigate the strange occurrences in the Uskil region of planet Arx fought and infiltrated their way into a secret underground laboratory beneath the swampy marshlands. After pressing in deeper and find some disturbing intelligence on the kinds of experiments transpiring, the Envoys encountered mutated monsters of different varieties.
After successfully fighting off the first wave, the party wisely noted that there was more than just a simple staging site. The laboratory was fully guarded by a cadre of strange looking soldiers. The Envoys decided to tactically reposition and to report what was found the Headmistress and Exarch.As they filed out, running in tandem and alternating cover fire, the Envoys escaped. A shuttle was dispatched, and the Envoys lifted off from the swamps of Uskil and headed to the fortified walls of the Shadow Academy.

Golden Envoy:
Envoys:
|
Objective
On a remote asteroid-based research facility deep in the Unknown Regions, rumors have swirled of an ancient Nightsister artifact known as the Sceptre of Tu'Torial. Legend says that any who wield the fabled artifact would be able to harness the power once reserved for the great Mother Talzin, and bend it to their whim. The Collective, in their bid to regain power, have seized control of the facility and have begun to delve into learning the secrets of the Sceptre, and must be stopped at any cost. The Exarch has been given special clearance to call in a usually reserved asset of the Brotherhood: the Star Chamber, as well as a select few Envoys suitable to the task at hand.
Mission Log
Thanks to Aylin's quick thinking and slicing to get the schematics of the building, Grand Master Muz Ashen was able to "carve" a shortcut to the Sceptre. The artifact was retrieved and the team successfully extracted, but more research would be needed to uncover the secrets.

Mission Log
The team was shown footage, then taken to Dantooine and decided to explore one of the nearby settlements. A group of survivors confront them, and the team successfully defuse the hostility, gaining the trust of the townsfolk. However, they are then attacked by a swarm of cultists worshipping the Immortal Sith. The team fight them off, though Sagitta is kidnapped. She manages to leave a trace behind so the rest of the team can follow her. They follow her to a cave which was secretly a Sith Temple. Inside, Sagitta is sacrificed, the dagger with the soul fragment of Darth Scimitar plunged into her heart. Instead of dying, she is instead possessed, gaining significantly more power under Scimitar's influence. The team battle the possessed Mirialan, defeating her. In a final act of vengeance, Scimitar released her from his possession, letting her wounds take over her. Tahiri and Savran successfully heal the worst of the damage whilst Hector conducts a Force ritual to keep her from death. The dagger was destroyed, and Nyssa hailed their transport as Titius blows up the temple.
The team escape, battered, bit determined to continue in the hunt for the remaining artifacts.

After thoroughly investigating the scene, the team discovered a patch clutched tightly in the cold hand of a dead researcher. The team’s next stop was a small unnamed village nearby looking for leads on who the patch belonged to. A pair of confrontations led to a pile of dead pirates and a chance encounter with a street urchin willing to help the team and lead them to their final destination, her family's farm.

Objective
TROUBLE IN THE OUTER RIM. On the remote planet JABIIM—once home to a base for the Hidden Path—survivors from the destruction of Hosnian Prime have settled into small mining communities to live peacefully and export the planet's lone resource of value. Peaceful, that was, until the opportunistic The Empty Eyes gang moved in, set up operations in an abandoned base and started to harass and prevent the locals from trading freely. The denizens of Jabiim have broadcasted a request for aid, but lack any real hope. Marick Tyris Arconae — Exarch of the Brotherhood — has put out a call to the newly formed Envoy Corps for their first operation.
Mission Log
After reaching Jabiim, the party split up, with Adem and Nicfer infiltrating the town while the others scouted and found the optimal attack vector. Adem and Nicfers efforts paid off by getting them back-door access to the bases defenses, giving the rest of the team and advantage in the fight that followed.
In the end, the team was able to successfully apprehend Sylvian Blaine, putting an end to the Empty Eyes control over the remote mining town.
