Prophecy Phyle is a battle team attached to House Qel-Droma of Clan Arcona. In its brief history, the battleteam has had seven squad leaders. The current leader is Tetrarch Arcturus Xyler.
History
Prophecy Phyle has a short history of service in Clan Arcona, but their service has been greatly honored for the secretive work they perform for the Quaestor. They serviced as important agents of the Consul during the Eighth Great Jedi War, or the dreaded Yuuzhan Vong Incursion. During and following those horrible days, the Dark Jedi Brotherhood was devastated, and Arcona was hit as hard as the other Clans. Prophecy Phyle, staying true to their name and responsibility, were charged with keeping their eyes to the future, in the efforts to rebuild and reclaim the Clan's former glory.
Prophecy served House Qel-Droma a few months later in a conflict between the Houses of Arcona, their valued espionage services against House Galeres essential in the feud. This was under the leadership of Tetrarch Maligo, and Prophecy gained even more acclaim after their hard work and loyal service in that feud. It was not long after that Prophecy competed with the other battleteams of Arcona for the honor of bearing the title "First Battleteam of Clan Arcona". Prophecy finished fourth in the competition.
The phyle was called on once more to serve the Consul and Clan during intense negotiations with two other Brotherhood Clans, Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Plagueis. In this feud, the Prophecy agents under Draco Maligo helped Qel-Droma retain their honor in the faces of those other Clans, recovering some gusto lost in the previous Great Jedi War.
Mission
The Clan Consul, Mejas Doto, gave Prophecy Phyle its current mission in 29 ABY. The battle team is charged with foreseeing the future and taking action to ensure that the future is molded to the benefit of Clan Arcona. The battleteam also practices sorcery and uses espionage and assassinations as political weapons in the sector of space surrounding the Dajorra System to maintain a secure home for the clan. Soon after this, the battle team was tasked with an additional mission. Following the Vong Incursion, many holocrons and records of Clan Arcona and House Qel-Droma were lost, damaged or misplaced. Because of this, it is the mission of Prophecy Phyle to use their prophetic powers to recover the lost history, and in time, build archives to house such knowledge.
In the final days of 29ABY, Protector Locke Sinje stepped down as Tetrarch and was replaced by Arcturus Xyler. While it is too soon to tell what effect this will have on Prophecy, it should be noted that Arcturus was a former squad leader for Dark Orb during the Fifth Great Jedi War and various other battles as well. During his time in Dark Orb, the Archpriest developed a crude form of mind control over the squad, similar to the RNA Brainwashing Virus. As such, Arcturus moulded the squad, a heavy combat unit, into a squad of hardened fanatics.
Since Prophecy's mandate is more focused on intelligence and espionage, it is unclear whether he will adopt a similar approach. It should be noted, though, that Arcturus had enacted the Xyler Edict within Prophecy; the results of which remain to be seen.

She is also practiced in infiltration with excellent stealth skills. An affair with one of her princess’ consorts resulted in a death sentence, and her escape from Hapes. She worked as an assassin until recruited into Prophecy Phyle’s irregular forces.
- Wend Hilster - Human Male
Born on Vizcarra to an unwed, teenage mother, Hilster turned to a life of crime at a young age. He joined a gang and served as an enforcer due to his size, muscularity and viciousness. He betrayed and murdered the leader who inducted him into the gang and took over. The success of the gang increased tremendously, largely due to Hilster’s organizational and motivational abilities. Members of Prophecy Phyle abducted Hilster, and with a combination of alchemical potions and the use of the Force, they induced the gang leader to betray his followers. In a fit of guilt, over what was perceived as his own weakness, Hilster agreed to join the commandos.
- Salss Lither - Zalorian Male
Born on the desert world of Zaloris, Lither was a mercenary for hire. There were constant wars between the desert tribes and the more civilized city dwellers, and Salss hired himself out to any of the tribes. He is a vicious warrior, self trained to use blaster pistols, rifles and edged weapons. Zalorans are bipedal humanoids with light tan scales over their whole bodies, and a double set of eyelids. They can stand extreme heat well, but don’t fare as well in cooler climates. There they tend to become sluggish when the desire to hibernate overcomes them.
