The Dark Crusade was a massive series of skirmishes between the members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and the followers of the One Sith as the two sides fought for control of the ancient Sith Worlds. The conflict did not truly begin until the Battles of Krayiss II and Nfolgai, but was set off by the actions of former Grand Master Zoraan, who attacked the Brotherhood in the events of the Horizons Plague. For more than a year, the two sides battled back-and-forth seeking domination and destruction. The Clans and Houses of the Brotherhood utilized all the forces at their command to decimate the Sith forces and compete against their rivals within the Brotherhood itself. After capturing a planet and repelling the One Sith, the Dark Council awarded stewardship of the planets do the unit they believed contributed most to the victory.

"Get off our ship..."

―Methyas, to Darth Necar after activating the thermal detonator

In the wake of former Grand Master Zoraan's death on Antei, the Super-class Star Destroyer Avenger II attempted to flee the Antei System before the Brotherhood could mount a counter-attack. However, without their master's guidance, the ship found it near-impossible to navigate the treacherous Shroud, which left the ship blind and vulnerable to attack.

The reigning Dark Lord, Muz Ashen, quickly dispatched teams of Dark Jedi from each unit of the Brotherhood to board the Avenger II, eliminate all opposition, and capture the vessel for the Dark Brotherhood. A total of eighteen teams were formed and sent, however, most played ancillary roles in the operation. The first team to board the ship played the largest role in its capture, fighting the remnants of Zoraan's Force-trained students

SSD Avenger II

The team, comprising of Kalia Pepoi, Atra Ventus, Araxis Farron, Archangel, and Methyas L'eonheart, began their assault in the Star Destroyer's hangar bay, where they encountered the the twin Dark Jedi codenamed Reaper and Frost. Unable to match their opponents with sheer strength, Araxis came up with a plan to lure the one called Frost in with an illusion. The gambit worked, and Frost ended up slaying his own twin brother. Consumed by rage, Frost attacked the five Jedi, threatening to overwhelm them with the sheer power of his pain and rage. However, that blind rage became his undoing, as the teamwork and Force meld of the Dark Jedi united to bring an end to Frost.

Though the first objective was cleared, the battle was far from over. The team continued moving forward, but were forced to battle their way through the ship's security deck where the encountered the Dark Adept, Dantella Novae and managed to combine their powers to place the Umbaran into stasis. Adept Novae because the first prisoner of war in the conflict between Dark Brotherhood and One Sith.

Finally arriving at the bridge, the team was shocked to witness a horrific scene as the entire crew of the command deck had been butchered before any Brotherhood troops arrived. The team was forced to face Darth Necar, Zoraan's apprentice, who had fallen in anguish over his master's death. A powerful Sith Lord in his own right, Necar proved to be a brutal opponent with command over the vicious dark side beasts, Terentatek. In the end, the only way to defeat the Sith Lord was for the team to vent the entire bridge into space. Methyas, alone, bought the rest of the team time to fleet. Utilizing a thermal detonate, Methyas manages to slay the Sith Lord before both of them were sucked out into the vacuum of space.
