Nightshade Squadron is the oldest battleteam still active in House Caliburnus. Recent research has shed light on the history of the team, revealing that it was the second team in Caliburnus. It is being led by Syphoc Rilkel.
History
Birth of Nightshade
The year was 18 ABY when Desio Predator took over the mantle as Quaestor of Caliburnus. The small Sith house had the need for only one battleteam. Nightstalkers Squadron itself was sufficient to fit the needs of the whole house.
However, Caliburnus was growing, and didn't stay with one battleteam for long. Still under the command of Predator, Nightshade Squadron was implemented to fight alongside Nightstalkers. The house would remain this way until sometime in late 18 ABY, when the house was under the command of Quaestor Darkmage, and Nightmare Squadron was made to create a trio of units.
Death and Rebirth
There were no known major battleteam changes from then until Scholae Clan Scholae Palatinae was destroyed the Dark Council in 19 ABY. When House Caliburnus eventually rose from the ashes, the only teams that were re-instated were Nightmare and Nightshade squadrons. As far as anyone knows, that battleteam structure remained until a House Feud with House Dorimad Sol in 24 ABY.
The house was ravaged and confused after the war. Victorious, the Sith House Caliburnus remained active, and the Obelisk of Dorimad Sol were forced into it. Further adding to complications, Quaestor Warhunter soon resigned and left for Clan Arcona, after disbanding all the battleteams, and erasing any structure the House had left.
New and inexperienced Jedi Hunter Quaestor Impetus faced a mammoth task. With over a hundred members in Caliburnus alone, in her first day in the house she had to practically lead two separate houses.
To bring some structure to the house she brought back the house’s two most well-known battleteams, Nightshade and Nightmare Squadron.
Nightshade squadron was re-formed with the role of housing the Obelisk members of House Dorimad Sol, Nightmare being the home to the traditional House Caliburnan Sith. As Impetus and Master Arania were the only Krath in the house, there was no need for a third team.
As the house began to become more diverse in it’s membership, the Obelisk them of Nightshade began to fade, and by mid-25 ABY it had transformed into a mixed-order battleteam, although the house in general still suffered from a lack of Krath membership.
Second Dissolution
As the houses of Acclivis Draco and Caliburnus prepared for a war in the year 26 ABY, under Consul Braecen Kaeth’s orders all battleteams were to be closed in both houses for a major revamp of the structre of the clan in general. After the war, only one battleteam was to be brought back per house, and it was to be a new team for the House's elite.
During the war, Caliburnus and Acclivis Draco were proven even for the first time in known history. Seeing no better time to leave on a good note, Impetus left her position and the house to go back to Acclivis Draco.
Second Rebirth
Nightshade squadron remained dormant until…
