Named after the Sith Lord [[starwars:Exar_Kun|Exar Kun]], '''Clan Exar Kun''' was created from the ashes of [[Clan Alvaak]]. The clan was eventually merged with [[Clan Satal Keto]] to create [[Clan Plagueis]]. The clan was divided into three houses: [[House Ziost]], [[House Byss]], and [[House Korriban]].


'Clan Exar Kun was created from the ashes of Clan Alvaak. The clan was eventually merged with [[Clan Satal Keto]] to create [[Clan Plagueis]].  The clan was divided into three houses: [[House Ziost]], [[House Byss]], and [[House Korriban]].


==The Clan's Namesake==


===Jedi Knight===
== History  ==


Four thousand years ago, the Jedi Order were the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy.  Over countless worlds and civilisations they upheld the common good and enforced the peace that had lasted for two hundred centuries. They were respected and heeded by all, for it was fatal to misinterpret the soft words and simple demeanour of a Jedi; each carried the elegant lightsabers, symbols of their training and authority, and open witness to their powers with the Force.
===  The Beginning of Clan Exar Kun  ===
When the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] fell, feuding warlords seized control of what resources they could, and fled into the farthest corners of the galaxy to establish their private fiefdoms, many content to simply sit and brutalise the hapless occupants of the systems they conquered. Some, such as Grand Admirals [[starwars:Thrawn|Thrawn]] and [[starwars:Daala|Daala]], sought to rebuild the Empire and regain their lost power. Others, such as Ronin, gathered themselves to implement the [[Final Order]].


As it had been since their inception, each Jedi Master would take students from an early age, and train them in the ways of the Force and the beliefs of the Jedi, to maintain their Order and the Republic, for even in those days, danger loomed in the form of the Sith Empire. Long ago defeated by the Jedi, the remaining Sith were disparate and nomadic, suffering from constant internecine warfare and a lack of anyone strong enough to lead them back to the golden age of Marka Ragnos.  Divided, the Sith were no great threat to the power of the Jedi, but without leaders, the constant gnaw of their smaller attacks kept all the Order from becoming complacent.
With a cabal of [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] under the leadership of the [[Star Chamber]] and with a heritage as ancient as the Sith, the Chiss Ronin gained much power for the Dark Brotherhood, able to secure and hold more territory through the Force than the meagre fleet he controlled would have otherwise allowed. In exchange, the Dark Jedi gained a fleet to protect them where the power of the Dark Side failed.


Yet even in those days, the Jedi were not numerous, and some Masters were bound to take on more than a single Apprentice. One such Master was the legendary Vodo-Siosk Baas, the Cerean Master whom had saved Cerea from war.  Master Baas took three Apprentices; the most promising of whom was a young Knight named Exar Kun.
Inducted into the Dark Brotherhood, Ronin became a Dark Primarch, and was given leave as Grand Admiral to establish a Clan in his name: [[Clan Alvaak]]. This Clan, the Elite Clan, was favoured and ruled by Ronin, for he became the Overlord of Alvaak, and was exempt from many of the governing rules of Brotherhood, including being given leave to use the Alvaakian lightsaber, an in-elegant and overlarge lightsaber.


Even in his early days, Exar Kun was driven by ambition and the need for power, but as a young man sought to transfer that power to the Order in its war against the Dark Side powers of the Sith.  It was his belief that one should know their enemy to be able to defeat them, and he sought out knowledge of the Sith rituals and powers, aiming to separate the Dark Side from them and turn them to the use of the Jedi, yet the Jedi Council could not condone flirtations with the Dark Side even for this purpose, and Kun was admonished several times by Baas about the dangers he courted.
For many years, Clan Alvaak was by admission only; one would need to beat the Grand Admiral in single combat and starfighter dog-fight to gain entry to the Clan and its special privileges, but during the reign of one Grand Master, this was changed. Seeing the chaotic nature of the Brotherhood, the [[Grand Master]] ordered that each Clan be divided into Houses, without exception, and that the three Orders be represented by one House within a Clan.


Exar Kun refused to listen, and in training one day almost killed a fellow Apprentice in rage at a minor injury he endured.  Seeking to teach Kun a lesson, Baas challenged him to a duel; Kun’s lightsabers against Baas’ walking stick. The battle waged, and Kun almost won, but was defeated by Baas’s skill and knowledge of the Force.
Like the others, Clan Alvaak divided into three Houses; Dominatus, Caliburnus, and Ronin, with Ronin himself retaining the title of Overlord of Alvaak, and appointing a [[Consul]] to rule for him. With the new Houses, came new power and prestige for Alvaak, and for a time, the Clan enjoyed a golden age.


===Fallen Jedi Knight===


Stymied by his Master and full of pride, Exar Kun broke from the Order and set out into the galaxy to find his own answers and prove himself right.  His journey brought him to Onderon and the court of King Ommin and Queen Amanos, the infamous Sith Sorcerors, where he learned of the Demon Moon above, Dxun.  Called by an unknown force, Kun journeyed through the nightmare landscape of the Demon Moon until he came upon the tomb of the diabolical Freedon Nadd.  Nadd’s spirit appeared to Kun, and, tempting him with the forbidden knowledge of the Sith and the answers he sought, sent Kun to Korriban, the Sith Necropolis planet.


On Korriban, Kun fell foul of the powerful traps and beasts left by the Sith to guard their tombs, and was caught in a deadfall. Crushed and battered, Kun was close to death when Nadd’s spirit again reappeared, offering Kun life and escape, if he would only realise and accept that the Dark Side was within him, and that was his drive for the Sith secrets, for their power, not the idealism of trying to save the Jedi. Knowing Nadd was correct, and knowing it was his only chance of escape, Kun accepted the Dark Side into his soul, and in an explosion that destroyed the tomb he had been trapped within, broke free.
===  The Birth of Clan Exar Kun  ===
Yet, all things must end, and during the reign of Grand Master Firefox, the Great Split was declared. Breaking from the yoke of the [[Emperor's Hammer]], most of the [[Dark Brotherhood]] fled from their former home of Eos to [[Antei]], ancestral home of the Star Chamber. In his arrogance, Ronin believe that his Elite Clan would remain with him, yet even there, dissent raged.


Under the tutelage of the departed Sith Lord, Kun left Korriban with the knowledge he sought, and travelled to Yavin IV, the last stronghold of the Sith Empire, where he was captured by descendants of Naga Sadow’s Massassi warriors.  Sensing the Dark Side in him, and with the legends of Sadow’s cruelty in their minds, the Massassi shaman sentenced Kun to death, to be sacrificed to the Battle Hydra in order to placate its wrath. At the bidding of Freedon Nadd, Exar Kun used the Dark Side to escape his fate, and stole Naga Sadow’s Sith Amulets, turning the on the battle hydra and the Massassi shaman to escape his fate.  In awe, the Massassi saw their Dark Lord come again, and bowed down before Kun as his loyal servants and warriors.  When Nadd appeared to congratulate his Apprentice, Kun then turned the Sith Amulets and his own power on the spirit, and forever vanquished him from the galaxy.
Four Alvaakian Jedi, heartened by the notion of freedom and disillusioned with their Overlord, broke from the Clan and fled with the others, taking with them a younger apprentice. The elders; Sith Warlord Khan, Sith Warmaster Khalin, Krath Epis Jonaleth Isradia Aquillarum, and Krath Priest Vally Tamalar, struck out from Eos aboard the transport vessel Reliance, with the young apprentice Vithril in tow.


With the Massassi now loyal to him, Kun set to work recovering all the treasures Sadow had left behind, including recovering the secrets of Sith Alchemy, which he turned on his subjects to forge them into the mightiest and most lethal weapons the galaxy has ever seen.  With his power consolidated and his Sith training complete, Kun set out in Sadow’s ancient battleship to destroy any he sensed who had the training to usurp his power.


===Dark Lord of the Sith===
[[File:MTRNS.jpg|thumb|140px|right|The transport vessel Reliance.]]
There was great strength gathered in that small ship, a great concentration of the Dark Side that would draw to it their new Dark Master. For days, they drifted through space, lost and in shock at the tumultuous events preceding them, knowing only that they must go on and not surrender to the machinations of their enemies. It was then that Exar Kun found them.


He found them on Cinnagar in the Empress Teta systems; the Sith Acolyte and Krath High Priestess Aleema Keto, and her dark lover, the fallen Jedi Knight and Krath High Priest Ullic Qel-Droma, whom had murdered Aleema’s cousin, Satal.  Kun and Qel-Droma fought for supremacy to decide who would control the powers of the Sith, but their battle was cut short by the appearance of a group of the most powerful Sith Lords of all time, led by none other than the greatest amongst them, Marka Ragnos himself.
A black shadow, a monstrosity of darkness of hate, he descended upon the wayward ship like a storm, and spoke to them of his plans and the events on [[starwars:Yavin_IV|Yavin IV]]. The three most powerful of them; Khan, Jonaleth and Khalin, he appointed his True Heirs, and bestowed upon them the name Kunar as sign of his favor. He taught them his arts of Mind Control so they might better serve him, and instructed Khan to lead them back to the Brotherhood with new purpose; overthrow the Jedi who had betrayed him and bring about the Final Order. They were to establish a new Clan in his name and finish what he had started.


Seeing the power in both of them, Ragnos declared that Exar Kun would be the new Dark Lord of the Sith, and Ullic Qel-Droma would serve him Sith Apprentice; together, they would conquer the galaxy and build a new Sith Empire. Kun began his plans by infiltrating the Jedi academy on Ossus, tempting and corrupting many of the impressionable students before exposing them to the Dark power of the Sith Holocron he recovered on Yavin IV and turning them to the Dark Side.
In the rapture of his presence, they swore their loyalty to him, and went on to Antei as their Dark Master wished. Before the assembly of the [[Dark Council]] and the Consuls of the other Clans, they spoke of their communion with Kun, and were given leave to establish the new Clan in his name. [[House Byss]], was created by Jonaleth for the Krath Order; [[House Ziost]], created by Khalin for the Sith Order, and [[House Korriban]], created by Vally for the Obelisk Order, with Khan as their Consul together became Clan Exar Kun. Vithril, the young Zabrak, took up his Master Isradia’s banner as Aedile of House Byss, and Clan Exar Kun was born to the galaxy.


After sending them on missions to assassinate their former Masters, Kun travelled to Coruscant to release his errant Apprentice whom had been captured by the Republic after a rash attack on the centre of the Republic in hopes of securing a quick victory.  In the process, Kun again came face to face with Master Vodo-Siosk Baas, but this time, armed with his personally crafted doubled bladed Sith Lightsaber, the Cerean Master stood no chance, and fell in battle to his former student.
Soon after, however, tragedy befell the fledgling Clan. A shockwave resonated through their symbiotic bond to their Dark Master as he died at the hands of the Jedi, and so part of them withered away also. In an uncontrolled explosion of temporal energy released by the Kunians when the pain of Kun’s death hit them, House Korriban was destroyed, wiped from existence by the power of the gathered Children of Kun. Fuelling their hatred, Khan swore vengeance on the [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] and the [[starwars:New_Republic|Republic]] for their attacks and betrayal on their Dark Master, and vowed to see his resurrection and the death of every student of the Jedi.


Returning to Yavin IV with their new students in tow, now Kun and Ullic planned to implement the second phase of their plans and destroy the Jedi academy on Ossus, now that it had been plundered of its valuable students and its Masters had been assassinated.  They arranged to have Aleema Keto use a Sith artefact to cause a supernova in the system, and as the Jedi sought escape, Kun’s Sith fleet struck down the escapee’s.


Their plan was successful, though Ullic’s ship was unable to escape the destruction of Ossus, and was captured by the Jedi.  As Kun returned to Yavin OV victorious and with his plunder of Jedi artefacts, Ullic was brought face to face with his brother and his former paramour, Nomi Sunrider.  Together, the pair cut Ullic from the Force, and in his weakness he surrendered to them, revealing the location of Kun’s base of power.


Massing their remaining forces, the Republic descended on Yavin IV to wipe out the Dark Lord, but Kun refused to grant them the vistory they sought.  Taking his most powerful bodyguard, Kun had twisted, mutated and warped him with Sith alchemy into an unstoppable behemoth known as the Night Beast, Kalgrath. Kun placed Kalgrath in stasis on Yavin IV, and began the second phase of his plan. Sacrificing every Massassi on the planet, Kun used all his powers and the knowledge of the Sith he had attained, and invested his spirit into the his temple, divesting himself of his physical body and the victory the Republic wished.  Though his fleets were destroyed and his warriors gone, Exar Kun lived on.
===  The Sith-Antaran War  ===
Their revenge, however, was halted by the Antaran War. In the centuries since the Star Chamber had ruled Antei, other life had taken residence on it, and refused to annex it to its rightful rulers. The Antarans waged guerrilla war on the Dark Brotherhood, but their pirate vessels and '''troops''' were no match for the training of the Jedi and the power of the Dark Side. Beside the rest of the Brotherhood, the Clansmen of Kun crushed the Antarans, and captured the neighboring system of Acarr as their base, thereby also seizing control of a major trade route, the Eidolon Run, and exterminating all competition to their domination as the only stop port along the Run.


===Dark Side Spirit===
Seeing the wisdom in their Master’s plans, the Clansmen plotted their revenge through covert methods. In seizing the Eidolon Run, they established a façade of cultured, peaceful and educated business men and women, and extracted a tariff on all ships and vessels passing through or resting in the [[Acarr System]]. The Houses of Clan Exar Kun each played their parts in this; House Byss formed the face of the operation as the merchants, traders, administrators and operatives of the Acarr Trading Consortium, while gathering intelligence, information and power to use against and infiltrate the Republic and the Jedi. House Ziost were the soldiers, pilots, enforcers, governors and muscle, at the same time as performing assassinations, extortion and protection services.


Four thousand years later, after the fall of the Old Republic, the Rebel Alliance chose Yavin as a base for its operations against the Republic, and in the explorations of the Massassi temples and digging of their trenches, released Kalgrath into the galaxy.  The murderous beast, without the control of its dark Master, slaughtered hundreds of the rebels, until Luke Skywalker tricked it into boarding a shuttle, and launched it into space.  Kalgrath is now known to still live, in the company of the spirit of Ludo Kressh, on the frozen planet of Ziost.
With Acarr firmly established as a trading stop and with its bountiful natural resources at its disposal, Clan Exar Kun works ever closer to the infiltration, corruption, domination and ultimate destruction of the Republic and the Jedi, and the restoration of their Dark Master.
 
After the fall of the Empire and the rise of the New Republic, Luke Skywalker converted the base on Yavin IV into a new Jedi academy, and, heedless of history, the appearance of Kalgrath and of the unexpected consequences of the Force, reawakened the spirit of Kun.  Preying on the weakness of Skywalkers own half-training and the malleability and psychological trauma inherent in all who had lived through the Empire, Kun found an easy subject in the form of Gantoris.
 
Guided by Kun, Gantoris fuelled his anger and hatred, and became tainted by the Dark Side.  With Kun’s help, he constructed his lightsaber and challenged Master Skywalker to a duel.  Gantoris lost, and as punishment Kun destroyed him, leaving his body to be found blackened and burned the next morning.  The spirits next target would be Kyp Durron, whose dark past made him the perfect target for corruption.  Kun convinced Durron that he would be able to study the Dark Side without falling to it, and gradually drew the young man away from the Light.
 
Wrathful and empowered by the Dark Side, Kyp went out to seek revenge on Grand Admiral Daala, who had imprisoned and tortured Durron after he escaped from Kessel.  In revenge, Kyp used Daala’s own superweapon against her, the Sun Crusher, and destroyed Daala’s systems with its supernova inducing torpedos.  Prompting Durron to return to Yavin, Kun had the young Jedi challenge Skywalker.  Durron won the battle, and left the Jedi Master comatose, his spirit separated from its body.  Whilst Durron continued his reign of terror with the Sun Crusher, Kun attacked Skywalker, sending Dark Side beasts to attack the Jedi Master’s body, or possessing his students to attack directly, all as a distraction for his greatest and most important move.
 
The Dark Lord would have succeeded eventually in his direct attacks, had the Jedi students not realised what was influencing them, and, in combining their powers with that of Skywalkers and the spirit of Kun’s former Master, Vodo-Siosk Baas, wiped the Dark Lord from the Force with the powers of the Light.  Yet even they did not realise that Kun had again thwarted the efforts of his enemies to destroy him completely, and that his true victory waited in the shadows, biding its time, nursing its hatred and anger for what it had seen done to its Master, to attack and destroy them utterly.

===The Beginning of Clan Exar Kun===


When the Empire fell, feuding warlords seized control of what resources they could, and fled into the farthest corners of the galaxy to establish their private fiefdoms, many content to simply sit and brutalise the hapless occupants of the systems they conquered.  Some, such as Grand Admirals Thrawn and Daala, sought to rebuild the Empire and regain their lost power.  Others, such as Ronin, gathered themselves to implement the Final Order.

===  The Great Jedi War  ===
There would be no rest for Clan Exar Kun, however. For a time, during the celebratory Independence Games, the Kunians fortified and strengthened themselves, digging deep into Acarr to ensure they would not be removed. Even as they did, however, something was awakening on Antei.


Inducted into the Dark Brotherhood, Ronin became a Dark Primarch, and was given leave as Grand Admiral to establish a Clan in his name: Clan Alvaak.  This Clan, the Elite Clan, was favoured and ruled by Ronin, for he became the Overlord of Alvaak, and was exempt from many of the governing rules of Brotherhood, including being given leave to use the Alvaakian lightsaber, an in-elegant and overlarge lightsaber.
Roused by the Dark Siders, the great spirits of the first Star Chamber incarnated on Antei as a horrendous plague, sweeping through the [[Dark Council]] and out into the Clans in an unstoppable wave. Grand Master Firefox, on sabbatical away from Antei, was no-where to be found. [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]] sealed [[Antei]] in the [[Shroud]], and the madness of the plague which took possession of its victims minds spread war through the Brotherhood.


For many years, Clan Alvaak was by admission only; one would need to beat the Grand Admiral in single combat and starfighter dog-fight to gain entry to the Clan and its special privileges, but during the reign of one Grand Master, this was changed.  Seeing the chaotic nature of the Brotherhood, the Grand Master ordered that each Clan be divided into Houses, without exception, and that the three Orders be represented by one House within a Clan.

[[File:Jonaleth-Portrait-Wiki.jpg|thumb|188px|left|Jonaleth Isradia.]]
The Brotherhood split into factions. Clan Exar Kun was set upon by Clans Tarentum and [[Taldryan]] even as it sought to annihilate Clans [[Arcona]] and [[Naga Sadow]], and form alliances with [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Khan, Vithril, Mune and Khalin all fell to the plague and joined the growing army gathering on Antei to release their masters.


===The Birth of Clan Exar Kun===
Times were bleak. Brought to the brink of destruction by the opposing armies, Clan Exar Kun was only saved when the armies of the Red Hawk Legion and the planet Vardor interceded. Then, [[Krath High Priestess]] came to Byfrost to seek out Jonaleth. As one of the strongest Krath remaining un-infected, she charged him with seeking out Grand Master [[Firefox]] in a desperate attempt he could find a cure before the Brotherhood finally destroyed itself.


Yet, all things must end, and during the reign of Grand Master Firefox, the Great Split was declared.  Breaking from the yoke of the Emperors Hammer, most of the Dark Brotherhood fled from their former home of Eos to Antei, ancestral home of the Star Chamber. In his arrogance, Ronin believe that his Elite Clan would remain with him, yet even there, dissent raged.
Jonaleth accepted, and alone scoured the galaxy for the Grand Master. His mission was successful, and he returned with the Grand Master. The plague was conquered and purged, and the Brotherhood settled down to lick its wounds. Strengthened by its ordeal, Clan Exar Kun continued its plans.


Four Alvaakian Jedi, heartened by the notion of freedom and disillusioned with their Overlord, broke from the Clan and fled with the others, taking with them a younger apprentice.  The elders; Sith Warlord Khan, Sith Warmaster Khalin, Krath Epis Jonaleth Isradia Aquillarum, and Krath Priest Vally Tamalar, struck out from Eos aboard the transport vessel Reliance, with the young apprentice Vithril in tow.


There was great strength gathered in that small ship, a great concentration of the Dark Side that would draw to it their new Dark Master.  For days, they drifted through space, lost and in shock at the tumultuous events preceding them, knowing only that they must go on and not surrender to the machinations of their enemies.  It was then that Exar Kun found them.

He taught them his arts of Mind Control so they might better serve him, and instructed Khan to lead them back to the Brotherhood with new purpose; overthrow the Jedi who had betrayed him and bring about the Final Order.  They were to establish a new Clan in his name and finish what he had started.
===  The Time of Troubles  ===
There came a point of stagnation for Clan Exar Kun. Much of its populace faded into their own studies and concerns, and despite all their successes, nothing seemed able to rouse the Clan. A coup was plotted by insurgent members to overthrow Consul Khan, and the now Sith Overlord crushed it.


In the rapture of his presence, they swore their loyalty to him, and went on to Antei as their Dark Master wished. Before the assembly of the Dark Council and the Consuls of the other Clans, they spoke of their communion with Kun, and were given leave to establish the new Clan in his name.  House Byss, was created by Jonaleth for the Krath Order; House Ziost, created by Khalin for the Sith Order, and House Korriban, created by Vally for the Obelisk Order, with Khan as their Consul together became Clan Exar Kun. Vithril, the young Zabrak, took up his Master Isradia’s banner as Aedile of House Byss, and Clan Exar Kun was born to the galaxy.
Yet, disheartened and wishing to focus on his studies with the Master At Arms, Khan stepped down as Consul, appointing Khalin as his successor and Jonaleth as the Proconsul. Yet, the stagnation would not lift.


Soon after, however, tragedy befell the fledgling Clan.  A shockwave resonated through their symbiotic bond to their Dark Master as he died at the hands of the Jedi, and so part of them withered away also. In an uncontrolled explosion of temporal energy released by the Kunians when the pain of Kun’s death hit them, House Korriban was destroyed, wiped from existence by the power of the gathered Children of Kun.  Fuelling their hatred, Khan swore vengeance on the Jedi and the Republic for their attacks and betrayal on their Dark Master, and vowed to see his resurrection and the death of every student of the Jedi.
As his first act and against Jonaleths advice, Khalin allowed re-entry to the Clan of the ones whom had plotted against Khan, and hell broke loose. The aggressive actions and dissention caused thereby very nearly destroyed the Clan. Jonaleth beseeched Khalin to take action, but was instead crushed. House Byss fled to Clan Exar Kuns allies, Clan Scholae Palatinae, and Jonaleth resigned as Proconsul before the Dark Council became involved.


===The Sith-Antaran War===


Their revenge, however, was halted by the Antaran War. In the centuries since the Star Chamber had ruled Antei, other life had taken residence on it, and refused to annex it to its rightful rulers. The Antarans waged guerrilla war on the Dark Brotherhood, but their pirate vessels and troops were no match for the training of the Jedi and the power of the Dark Side. Beside the rest of the Brotherhood, the Clansmen of Kun crushed the Antarans, and captured the neighbouring system of Acarr as their base, thereby also seizing control of a major trade route, the Eidolon Run, and exterminating all competition to their domination as the only stop port along the Run.
[[File:Picture-chilong.JPG|thumb|250px|right|Grand Master Chi-Long.]]
In an act designed to save Clan Exar Kun, the Dark Council removed Khalin as Consul and replaced him with former Grand Master [[Chi-Long]]. The summits of both Houses were replaced with the only candidates available, and Vithril and Jonaleth returned from their temporary exile. Acting swiftly, Chi-Longs advisors and servants struck down and destroyed the insurgents, and re-established order on Byfrost.


Seeing the wisdom in their Master’s plans, the Clansmen plotted their revenge through covert methods. In seizing the Eidolon Run, they established a façade of cultured, peaceful and educated business men and women, and extracted a tariff on all ships and vessels passing through or resting in the Acarr System.  The Houses of Clan Exar Kun each played their parts in this; House Byss formed the face of the operation as the merchants, traders, administrators and operatives of the Acarr Trading Consortium, whilst gathering intelligence, information and power to use against and infiltrate the Republic and the Jedi.  House Ziost were the soldiers, pilots, enforcers, governors and muscle, at the same time as performing assassinations, extortion and protection services.
Seizing Clan Exar Kun in an iron grasp, the Grand Master purged the decay that had taken hold and consolidated his power in Acarr as the third [[Independence Games]] began by appointing Braecen Isradia as [[Proconsul]] of the Clan. During this time, the population of Clan Exar Kun exploded and thrived by Braecen’s urgings and guidance, a new wave of leaders and mighty Jedi arose from the ranks of Clan Exar Kun, and Jonaleth Isradia penned the legendary “Path of Kun”, a detailed work describing the paths to power in Kun’s name.


With Acarr firmly established as a trading stop and with its bountiful natural resources at its disposal, Clan Exar Kun works ever closer to the infiltration, corruption, domination and ultimate destruction of the Republic and the Jedi, and the restoration of their Dark Master.


===The Great Jedi War===


There would be no rest for Clan Exar Kun, however. For a time, during the celebratory Independence Games, the Kunians fortified and strengthened themselves, digging deep into Acarr to ensure they would not be removed. Even as they did, however, something was awakening on Antei.
===  Crimson Tide  ===
In their weakened state, the Sons did not see the looming threat of the [[Crimson Tide]]. These mercenaries and their army were descended from the Jedi and soldiers whom had battled against [[starwars:Satal_Keto|Satal Keto]] in aeons past, and like a scavenger of the stars, they fell upon the great Clan in its hurt state, and began to systematically eradicate it. Those few Elders of the Clan who remained fought with skill and cunning never before seen, but their numbers were too few, even with the Force as their ally.  


Roused by the Dark Siders, the great spirits of the first Star Chamber incarnated on Antei as a horrendous plague, sweeping through the Dark Council and out into the Clans in an unstoppable wave.  Grand Master Firefox, on sabbatical away from Antei, was no-where to be found.  Clan Tarentum sealed Antei in the Shroud, and the madness of the plague which took possession of its victims minds spread war through the Brotherhood.


The Brotherhood split into factions.  Clan Exar Kun was set upon by Clans Tarentum and Taldryan even as it sought to annihilate Clans Arcona and Naga Sadow, and form alliances with Clan Scholae Palatinae.  Khan, Vithril, Mune and Khalin all fell to the plague and joined the growing army gathering on Antei to release their masters.
[[File:Crimsontidelogo.jpg|thumb|130px|left|The Crimson Tide's insigna.]]
 
In the end, they could hold but a single world against the onslaught of the Tide, and reaching out with their powers, beseeched the help of allied Clans. Only one was close enough to respond in time; the still frail Exar Kun. Heeding their ally's call, the Kunians sent what remaining forces they had after their own war to re-enforce their allies.  
Times were bleak.  Brought to the brink of destruction by the opposing armies, Clan Exar Kun was only saved when the armies of the Red Hawk Legion and the planet Vardor interceded.  Then, Krath High Priestess came to Byfrost to seek out Jonaleth.  As one of the strongest Krath remaining un-infected, she charged him with seeking out Grand Master Firefox in a desperate attempt he could find a cure before the Brotherhood finally destroyed itself.
 
Jonaleth accepted, and alone scoured the galaxy for the Grand Master.  His mission was successful, and he returned with the Grand Master.  The plague was conquered and purged, and the Brotherhood settled down to lick its wounds.  Strengthened by its ordeal, Clan Exar Kun continued its plans.

===Crimson Tide===
 
In their weakened state, the Sons did not see the looming threat of the Crimson Tide. These mercenaries and their army were descended from the Jedi and soldiers whom had battled against Satal Keto in aeons past, and like a scavenger of the stars, they fell upon the great Clan in its hurt state, and began to systematically eradicate it. Those few Elders of the Clan who remained fought with skill and cunning never before seen, but their numbers were too few, even with the Force as their ally.
 
In the end, they could hold but a single world against the onslaught of the Tide, and reaching out with their powers, beseeched the help of allied Clans. Only one was close enough to respond in time; the still frail Exar Kun. Heading their allies call, the Kunians sent what remaining forces they had after their own war to re-enforce their allies.  


The battle was long and hard as Elders, Equites, Journeymen and followers of both Clans fought side by side against the marauding Tide, but in the end, the superior power and skill of the Jedi won the day, and the Crimson forces were thrown back into the darkness of space to lick their wounds and plot their revenge. The battle was over, the Dark Side had won, but at a terrible cost. What little that remained of both Clans before was now decimated further – the Consuls of Satal Keto and Exar Kun had fallen in battle, and as many took stock of the situation, they fell into desperation, and lay down to die. On the field of battle in both Clans, yet again a single Elder still stood.

Named after the Sith Lord Exar Kun, Clan Exar Kun was created from the ashes of Clan Alvaak. The clan was eventually merged with Clan Satal Keto to create Clan Plagueis. The clan was divided into three houses: House Ziost, House Byss, and House Korriban.


History

The Beginning of Clan Exar Kun

When the Empire fell, feuding warlords seized control of what resources they could, and fled into the farthest corners of the galaxy to establish their private fiefdoms, many content to simply sit and brutalise the hapless occupants of the systems they conquered. Some, such as Grand Admirals Thrawn and Daala, sought to rebuild the Empire and regain their lost power. Others, such as Ronin, gathered themselves to implement the Final Order.

With a cabal of Dark Jedi under the leadership of the Star Chamber and with a heritage as ancient as the Sith, the Chiss Ronin gained much power for the Dark Brotherhood, able to secure and hold more territory through the Force than the meagre fleet he controlled would have otherwise allowed. In exchange, the Dark Jedi gained a fleet to protect them where the power of the Dark Side failed.

Inducted into the Dark Brotherhood, Ronin became a Dark Primarch, and was given leave as Grand Admiral to establish a Clan in his name: Clan Alvaak. This Clan, the Elite Clan, was favoured and ruled by Ronin, for he became the Overlord of Alvaak, and was exempt from many of the governing rules of Brotherhood, including being given leave to use the Alvaakian lightsaber, an in-elegant and overlarge lightsaber.

For many years, Clan Alvaak was by admission only; one would need to beat the Grand Admiral in single combat and starfighter dog-fight to gain entry to the Clan and its special privileges, but during the reign of one Grand Master, this was changed. Seeing the chaotic nature of the Brotherhood, the Grand Master ordered that each Clan be divided into Houses, without exception, and that the three Orders be represented by one House within a Clan.

Like the others, Clan Alvaak divided into three Houses; Dominatus, Caliburnus, and Ronin, with Ronin himself retaining the title of Overlord of Alvaak, and appointing a Consul to rule for him. With the new Houses, came new power and prestige for Alvaak, and for a time, the Clan enjoyed a golden age.


The Birth of Clan Exar Kun

Yet, all things must end, and during the reign of Grand Master Firefox, the Great Split was declared. Breaking from the yoke of the Emperor's Hammer, most of the Dark Brotherhood fled from their former home of Eos to Antei, ancestral home of the Star Chamber. In his arrogance, Ronin believe that his Elite Clan would remain with him, yet even there, dissent raged.

Four Alvaakian Jedi, heartened by the notion of freedom and disillusioned with their Overlord, broke from the Clan and fled with the others, taking with them a younger apprentice. The elders; Sith Warlord Khan, Sith Warmaster Khalin, Krath Epis Jonaleth Isradia Aquillarum, and Krath Priest Vally Tamalar, struck out from Eos aboard the transport vessel Reliance, with the young apprentice Vithril in tow.


The transport vessel Reliance.

There was great strength gathered in that small ship, a great concentration of the Dark Side that would draw to it their new Dark Master. For days, they drifted through space, lost and in shock at the tumultuous events preceding them, knowing only that they must go on and not surrender to the machinations of their enemies. It was then that Exar Kun found them.

A black shadow, a monstrosity of darkness of hate, he descended upon the wayward ship like a storm, and spoke to them of his plans and the events on Yavin IV. The three most powerful of them; Khan, Jonaleth and Khalin, he appointed his True Heirs, and bestowed upon them the name Kunar as sign of his favor. He taught them his arts of Mind Control so they might better serve him, and instructed Khan to lead them back to the Brotherhood with new purpose; overthrow the Jedi who had betrayed him and bring about the Final Order. They were to establish a new Clan in his name and finish what he had started.

In the rapture of his presence, they swore their loyalty to him, and went on to Antei as their Dark Master wished. Before the assembly of the Dark Council and the Consuls of the other Clans, they spoke of their communion with Kun, and were given leave to establish the new Clan in his name. House Byss, was created by Jonaleth for the Krath Order; House Ziost, created by Khalin for the Sith Order, and House Korriban, created by Vally for the Obelisk Order, with Khan as their Consul together became Clan Exar Kun. Vithril, the young Zabrak, took up his Master Isradia’s banner as Aedile of House Byss, and Clan Exar Kun was born to the galaxy.

Soon after, however, tragedy befell the fledgling Clan. A shockwave resonated through their symbiotic bond to their Dark Master as he died at the hands of the Jedi, and so part of them withered away also. In an uncontrolled explosion of temporal energy released by the Kunians when the pain of Kun’s death hit them, House Korriban was destroyed, wiped from existence by the power of the gathered Children of Kun. Fuelling their hatred, Khan swore vengeance on the Jedi and the Republic for their attacks and betrayal on their Dark Master, and vowed to see his resurrection and the death of every student of the Jedi.


The Sith-Antaran War

Their revenge, however, was halted by the Antaran War. In the centuries since the Star Chamber had ruled Antei, other life had taken residence on it, and refused to annex it to its rightful rulers. The Antarans waged guerrilla war on the Dark Brotherhood, but their pirate vessels and troops were no match for the training of the Jedi and the power of the Dark Side. Beside the rest of the Brotherhood, the Clansmen of Kun crushed the Antarans, and captured the neighboring system of Acarr as their base, thereby also seizing control of a major trade route, the Eidolon Run, and exterminating all competition to their domination as the only stop port along the Run.

Seeing the wisdom in their Master’s plans, the Clansmen plotted their revenge through covert methods. In seizing the Eidolon Run, they established a façade of cultured, peaceful and educated business men and women, and extracted a tariff on all ships and vessels passing through or resting in the Acarr System. The Houses of Clan Exar Kun each played their parts in this; House Byss formed the face of the operation as the merchants, traders, administrators and operatives of the Acarr Trading Consortium, while gathering intelligence, information and power to use against and infiltrate the Republic and the Jedi. House Ziost were the soldiers, pilots, enforcers, governors and muscle, at the same time as performing assassinations, extortion and protection services.

With Acarr firmly established as a trading stop and with its bountiful natural resources at its disposal, Clan Exar Kun works ever closer to the infiltration, corruption, domination and ultimate destruction of the Republic and the Jedi, and the restoration of their Dark Master.


The Great Jedi War

There would be no rest for Clan Exar Kun, however. For a time, during the celebratory Independence Games, the Kunians fortified and strengthened themselves, digging deep into Acarr to ensure they would not be removed. Even as they did, however, something was awakening on Antei.

Roused by the Dark Siders, the great spirits of the first Star Chamber incarnated on Antei as a horrendous plague, sweeping through the Dark Council and out into the Clans in an unstoppable wave. Grand Master Firefox, on sabbatical away from Antei, was no-where to be found. Clan Tarentum sealed Antei in the Shroud, and the madness of the plague which took possession of its victims minds spread war through the Brotherhood.


Jonaleth Isradia.

The Brotherhood split into factions. Clan Exar Kun was set upon by Clans Tarentum and Taldryan even as it sought to annihilate Clans Arcona and Naga Sadow, and form alliances with Clan Scholae Palatinae. Khan, Vithril, Mune and Khalin all fell to the plague and joined the growing army gathering on Antei to release their masters.

Times were bleak. Brought to the brink of destruction by the opposing armies, Clan Exar Kun was only saved when the armies of the Red Hawk Legion and the planet Vardor interceded. Then, Krath High Priestess came to Byfrost to seek out Jonaleth. As one of the strongest Krath remaining un-infected, she charged him with seeking out Grand Master Firefox in a desperate attempt he could find a cure before the Brotherhood finally destroyed itself.

Jonaleth accepted, and alone scoured the galaxy for the Grand Master. His mission was successful, and he returned with the Grand Master. The plague was conquered and purged, and the Brotherhood settled down to lick its wounds. Strengthened by its ordeal, Clan Exar Kun continued its plans.


The Time of Troubles

There came a point of stagnation for Clan Exar Kun. Much of its populace faded into their own studies and concerns, and despite all their successes, nothing seemed able to rouse the Clan. A coup was plotted by insurgent members to overthrow Consul Khan, and the now Sith Overlord crushed it.

Yet, disheartened and wishing to focus on his studies with the Master At Arms, Khan stepped down as Consul, appointing Khalin as his successor and Jonaleth as the Proconsul. Yet, the stagnation would not lift.

As his first act and against Jonaleths advice, Khalin allowed re-entry to the Clan of the ones whom had plotted against Khan, and hell broke loose. The aggressive actions and dissention caused thereby very nearly destroyed the Clan. Jonaleth beseeched Khalin to take action, but was instead crushed. House Byss fled to Clan Exar Kuns allies, Clan Scholae Palatinae, and Jonaleth resigned as Proconsul before the Dark Council became involved.


Grand Master Chi-Long.

In an act designed to save Clan Exar Kun, the Dark Council removed Khalin as Consul and replaced him with former Grand Master Chi-Long. The summits of both Houses were replaced with the only candidates available, and Vithril and Jonaleth returned from their temporary exile. Acting swiftly, Chi-Longs advisors and servants struck down and destroyed the insurgents, and re-established order on Byfrost.

Seizing Clan Exar Kun in an iron grasp, the Grand Master purged the decay that had taken hold and consolidated his power in Acarr as the third Independence Games began by appointing Braecen Isradia as Proconsul of the Clan. During this time, the population of Clan Exar Kun exploded and thrived by Braecen’s urgings and guidance, a new wave of leaders and mighty Jedi arose from the ranks of Clan Exar Kun, and Jonaleth Isradia penned the legendary “Path of Kun”, a detailed work describing the paths to power in Kun’s name.


Crimson Tide

In their weakened state, the Sons did not see the looming threat of the Crimson Tide. These mercenaries and their army were descended from the Jedi and soldiers whom had battled against Satal Keto in aeons past, and like a scavenger of the stars, they fell upon the great Clan in its hurt state, and began to systematically eradicate it. Those few Elders of the Clan who remained fought with skill and cunning never before seen, but their numbers were too few, even with the Force as their ally.


The Crimson Tide's insigna.

In the end, they could hold but a single world against the onslaught of the Tide, and reaching out with their powers, beseeched the help of allied Clans. Only one was close enough to respond in time; the still frail Exar Kun. Heeding their ally's call, the Kunians sent what remaining forces they had after their own war to re-enforce their allies.

The battle was long and hard as Elders, Equites, Journeymen and followers of both Clans fought side by side against the marauding Tide, but in the end, the superior power and skill of the Jedi won the day, and the Crimson forces were thrown back into the darkness of space to lick their wounds and plot their revenge. The battle was over, the Dark Side had won, but at a terrible cost. What little that remained of both Clans before was now decimated further – the Consuls of Satal Keto and Exar Kun had fallen in battle, and as many took stock of the situation, they fell into desperation, and lay down to die. On the field of battle in both Clans, yet again a single Elder still stood.
