Brief History

The story of House Marka Ragnos begins some 5,300 years before the Battle of Yavin, when the Dark Lord of the Sith, Marka Ragnos himself, began his reign over the Sith Empire. Under his rule a Golden Age was ushered in. Ragnos ruled with unparalleled success for 300 years. During this time, he established a devoted following of warriors, scholars and other figures who swore an oath of loyalty to him.

After Ragnos was succeeded by Naga Sadow, this cult remained loyal to their slain master and left Korriban, wandering across the galaxy with no destination in mind. In their travels, this cult came across the planet Karana III and settled there. They began calling themselves the "Disciples of Ragnos" and continued to worship their master and practice his dark doctrine. However, the Disciples were soon driven away from Karana, and they settled on the planet Loki in the Phare system.

It was not long before Clan Overlord Astronicus Sadow came to Phare and brought together his followers under the name of House Naga Sadow. Soon, as the numbers of House Naga Sadow grew, it became Clan Naga Sadow and the Disciples of Ragnos deigned to become House Marka Ragnos.

The Disciples of Ragnos of the modern era are made up of Sith, Krath and Obelisk of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The epistle of Marka Ragnos continues to live on through a new generation adored in the traditions of old.

Government and Politics

House Marka Ragnos

The Disciples of Ragnos are more commonly known as House Marka Ragnos within Clan Naga Sadow and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. This is because the cult was reorganized into a House to conform with the Codex.

Overlord of Ragnos

The Overlord of Ragnos (also known as the House Overlord) is not a official leadership position in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Overlord is the symbolic leader of the House; thus it is the responsibility of the Dark Primus to assume this role.

Scions

To become a Scion of Ragnos is the greatest honor a Disciple can achieve in his or her lifetime; for they will be seen as a descendent of Sith Lord Marka Ragnos and a True Believer of the Final Way. The very nature of the Scions responsibility is shrouded in mystery. A Scion in-training is called a Progeny of Ragnos.

Castes are to the Disciples of Ragnos what Orders are to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood; more or less. The three castes are named after the first level a Vizier becomes after ascending thier current level. There are three levels a Vizier must ascend through to reach the top level of Avatar.

Non-Believers

These are people who don't believe in the Final Way as taught in the Dark Doctrine. The Dark Jedi Brotherhood and House Naga Sadow were originally seen as non-believers; this changed somewhat after the creation of Clan Naga Sadow and House Marka Ragnos. The Brotherhood are now seen as believers of the Final Way (although not true believers) as they're let by the Dark Lord of the Sith, as it was a Dark Lord who created the Dark Doctrine, but in fact it was Primus Caerick's influence within the Dark Brotherhood as a whole that led to the Disciples acceptance.

Illuminati

This is a secret sect that is loosely affiliated with the Disciples of Ragnos but based inside the workings of House Marka Ragnos and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Illuminati are very similar to Lord Okemi's Star Chamber, as they are Equites and Elders of House Marka Ragnos united is a fragile alliance to empower their knowledge of the Force as they look to unlock the secrets of the Epistle of Marka Ragnos

House Marka Ragnos

Night Hawks

Night Hawks, known to the elite fighting force within House Marka Ragnos. Accepting all missions thrown their way and usually hiding in the shadows to protect its house leaders, whether they requested them or whether they even knew they were there. Its members filled with loyalty for their house and clan, and actively taking part in all house doings.

Founded by Trevarus Caerick in 21 ABY, the Night Hawks quickly became the most whispered about and most feared. Its members said to lethal in the way they moved, and stealthy in the hidden secrets of the group.

Its members were seldom known or seen, and if a member of the Night Hawks came to sit down at your table, you often didn’t live to tell the tale, which only helped in keeping the members identity a secret. Only those who have been chosen for the position of Night Hawk member are taken in, although many try to find out who to talk to about joining.

Ravana Squadron

Ravana Squadron is an elite X-Wing Squadron founded by Ximeno in 14 ABY. Throughout the history of the Brotherhood the squadron has player a crucial if often sometimes silent role in the Brotherhood. The Squadron performs two main duties firstly they are of course an X-Wing unit composed of force talented individuals. Secondly they perform the duty of a commando unit involved in counter-intelligence, sabotage, and assassination. With the approval of the summit various commanders have recruited pilots and people capable of intelligence work.

The Squadrons name was originally decided by Ximeno who thought that the Raven best suited the nature of the squadron. Dark birds of prey, whose appearance was the harbinger of ill fate. Like the bird, seeing Ravana Squadron has often been the beginning of the end for the unfortunate set in their sites. The Ravana Squadron is the "back alley lightsaber" of House Marka Ragnos accomplishing clandestine work that others deemed themselves too good for.

Due to the nature of the work the attrition rate in Ravana squadron is high, members often find that they are simply not ready for the work that the squadron does and burn out, or simply die during mission.
