{{Quote|While the Brotherhood dealt with it's own internal conflict, a new organization solidified it's power and waited patiently for the right moment to strike and reveal themselves. The Brotherhood was forced to reconsider their position internally, as their focus was forced onto an enemy that threatened them all. |[[Farrin Xies]], [[Headmaster]], 35 ABY}}
 
Rath Oligard, former Fleet Admiral of the Dark Brotherhood, was declared absent without leave from the Fleet in 29 ABY. Known throughout the Brotherhood as a rising military star, Oligard abandoned his position following the tragic and unfortunate events that led to the death of his family on an uncharted planet known only as XL374.
Oligard’s journey over the next six years took him from sorrow, to depression, to anger, and finally towards a single driven purpose. The galaxy had toiled under the yoke of Force users for Rath’s entire life. The Old Republic were ruled by a cadre of unfeeling and arrogant monks who sat within a temple and passed judgment upon the galaxy. The Empire ruled with an iron fist and destroyed any and all who opposed it. Now, the galaxy sat in a state of abject chaos as multiple Theocracies attempted to impose their will upon it.
 
The former Fleet Admiral would tolerate it no longer. He crawled from the alcoholic haze that blurred the loss of his family from his memory. He drug himself, upon hands and knees, into the dens of miscreants and criminals until he finally began to find those who understood his new found philosophical goal. The Galaxy was a miserable and contemptuous place, but it was much more tolerable when it was not oppressed by the yoke of the Jedi or Sith.
 
The creation of the Collective was a tedious and daunting process. Rath’s personal vanguard within the Liberation Front were the true believers. They despised Force users of all kinds and abhorred the institutions that they created. The Technocratic Guild, a series of eccentric engineers and scientists, did not harbor the same hatred for Force users, but did jealously covet their knowledge and possessions. Finally, Capital Enterprises; the mercenaries for hire within the Collective, agreed to Rath’s terms solely to eliminate the Force users from cutting into their bottom line. Rath understood Capital Enterprises greed, but he also knew their enigmatic leader, Ghafa Ordam, harbored deep hatred for the Sith and their slaver ways.
 
Six years, billions of credits, and the unification of multiple visions produced the organization that now opposed the Dark Brotherhood. Rath Oligard, military genius, rogue, and charismatic leader, looked forward to finally obtaining the justifiable wrath he sought for his family.
 
He had conducted hundreds of small scale attacks against the Dark Brotherhood fleets over the past several weeks and now he had ushered them to his front door on [[Nancora]]. Exactly where he wanted them.

As the Grand Master of the Brotherhood witnesses the fate of his flagship, Pravus calls his many resources into action to determine the nature of this new threat. As his subjects and servants spring into action, the name Rath Oligard comes to the surface. An Imperial officer of the finest caliber, Oligard is a true threat to the Brotherhood.

With the seat of the Collective’s power known, the seven Clans turn their sights to Nancora and seek to retaliate against the vicious onslaught of Rath Oligard. As the Clan fleets jump to hyperspace to head to Nancora Prime, the treachery of a Dark Lord stands out against the unity of Dark and Light: Darth Pravus will offer no aid, and the forces of the Dark Council withdraw to Arx, and leave the Clans to their own fates.
== Current Storyline ==


==== Chapter 3: War ====
The current storyline follows the emergence of a new enemy group known as [[The Children of Mortis]]. This mysterious new enemy unleashed devastation upon the Clans of the Brotherhood in the Fifteenth Great Jedi War.  
* [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-vYlrW6IxW6N25aN1FGQzVRQmM/view Fiction]


The first forces of the Brotherhood to arrive in the Nancora system are the loyal eyes and ears of the Inquisitorius. The listeners, the spies, the able hands of the Voice of the Brotherhood witness the spectacle of Rath Oligard’s plan laid out. And, as the forces of the Brotherhood enter the fray, a superweapon is unleashed, and lives are lost.
=== Shadows Unveiled ===
At the order of the Grand Master, the Brotherhood undertook a massive research effort, both to understand the appearance of the Children of Mortis, and the power they wielded with their Force-embued crystals. Each of the great Clans chose their own paths to study as information about the Children was slowly learned. Comprised of three groups representing the Light, Grey, and Dark sides of the Force, this group used crystals formed from the souls of Force-sensitives to create powerful weapons, armor, ships, and organic monstrosities. All of this was done at the command of their leader, The Father, who hoped to usher in a new age of unbound Force control.  


==== Chapter 4: Strike ====
=== Great Jedi War: Ascension ===
* [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-vYlrW6IxW6bFNQSFdOekhuMXc/view Fiction]
==== Chapter 1 ====
The Council believes the Children are planning to attack Arx, their seat of power. Still rebuilding from the attack by [[The Collective]], the system was ripe for a powerful enemy to push out the Brotherhood. Yet they were mistaken.  


The unified forces of the Inquisitorius continue to relay information both to the Clans, as well as to the Grand Master and his servants on Arx. One of the prototype weapons of the Collective falls to the agents of the Brotherhood, but as the battle in space rages on, noteworthy members fall from the sky and crash to the surface.
Launching massive crystal asteroids, the Children of Mortis unleashed hell upon the seven Clans' home systems. Each asteroid slowing at impact to create a large impact site, The Children set off to gather what research had been found on their crystals, as well as any stored crystals the clans might possess. While this assault is launched, The Father took control of The Harbinger as is his will to take a more direct hand in overseeing the attack. Avitus Oligard, praised for his insight on each of the Clans, goes to aid Saira O'Setera as she begins the birthing process.  


==== Chapter 5: Riposte ====
==== Chapter 2 ====
* [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-htX3YhSwhVEfzVGamn4FuyKYT8M1AeU/view Fiction]
The Council frantically tries to comprise the data on the crystals, hoping to find a way to stop their power. Each of the Clans show different strengths and weaknesses against the Children as they defend their homes. With the asteroids safely planet side, the Children began the next phase of their conquest, activating the asteroids as "World Seeds". These seeds begin to drain the life from the planets they reside upon, causing even more crystals to grow.  


The forces of the Brotherhood advance and score noteworthy wins against the Collective, but this has all been according to plan. Rath Oligard drew in the forces of his enemies, and plans a retreat from Nancora with the intended goal of presenting the Clans with a Pyrrhic victory.
==== Chapter 3 ====
A method of purifying the crystals is found, and released into the Clans' systems. Each of the Clans show great strength and power as they push back the Children from their homes. In shock, the Children retreat, seemingly vanishing into an ethereal realm. Saira gives birth to a baby boy, who begins to age toward adulthood rapidly.  


==== Chapter 6: Finale ====
The now-purified crystals are harvested and used by the Clans to create unique and powerful tools, defenses, and weapons. The Grand Master begins his own study of the portals the Children summoned, hoping they might find a way to destroy their enemy, and find the illusive former Grand Master, Telaris Cantor.  
* [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NK1y5DeOgSiCHXkutI1Uqkjfys5irXEv/view Fiction]


Heroes stand out among all of the forces of the Brotherhood. The forces of the Collective witness the power of one of the Dark Lords, and yet, the homes of each Clan is not safe. Messages spread like wildfires among the Clans: the Collective fled, but with blood lust in mind. And in the midst of the retreat of the Collective, a bastion of darkness among the seven wavers and falls.
A toddler child is brought before the Father, revealed at last to be a Skeleton of pure crystal. Once known as Matthias Westland, thousands of years ago, The Father appraises the toddler as an appropriate vessel.  


=== Timeline: Fiction Updates  ===
Still residing within the Cor’neria System, Rath Oligard watches streams of data regarding the Children's attack against the Brotherhood, appraising how best to use this opportunity to destroy his most hated enemy.

Crack grew in the factions of the Severian Principate, and Tenixir Revenants. Influenced by the mystical crystals that had been recovered over the previous few years, both factions split in half, each with one favoring peace, the other all out war. War comes to them all on the planet of Dandoran.
At the invitation of Py'zah the Hutt, The Principate and Revenants arrive to bid on a large cache of crystals, when shots are finally fired. The Brotherhood answers both sides call with each member choosing for themselves who they would like to support. Within The Principate, there were the brutal Restorers and the peace-seeking Harmonists. For the Revenants, there was the vengeance-seeking Retributionists and the opportunistic Expansionists.


For the complete timeline, please see the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood Timeline]] article.
Things became more complicated when the Restorers revealed they had melded the crystals with soldiers, creating fearsome Restoration Troopers, large lumbering beasts that were near impossible to kill. At the same time, The Seer, representing a new entity known as The Children of Mortis, brought with her Crystal Ascendants, beings also augmented with crystal but in such a way their connection to the force was magnified greatly.  


=== Inquisitorius Archive ===
Eventually, The Harmonists won the day. The Seer retreated with Avitus Oligard in tow. The Principate agreed to begin demilitarizing their armies, and the Revenants agreed to strike out to far away systems to prevent further bloodshed.

Current Storyline

The current storyline follows the emergence of a new enemy group known as The Children of Mortis. This mysterious new enemy unleashed devastation upon the Clans of the Brotherhood in the Fifteenth Great Jedi War.

Shadows Unveiled

At the order of the Grand Master, the Brotherhood undertook a massive research effort, both to understand the appearance of the Children of Mortis, and the power they wielded with their Force-embued crystals. Each of the great Clans chose their own paths to study as information about the Children was slowly learned. Comprised of three groups representing the Light, Grey, and Dark sides of the Force, this group used crystals formed from the souls of Force-sensitives to create powerful weapons, armor, ships, and organic monstrosities. All of this was done at the command of their leader, The Father, who hoped to usher in a new age of unbound Force control.

Great Jedi War: Ascension

Chapter 1

The Council believes the Children are planning to attack Arx, their seat of power. Still rebuilding from the attack by The Collective, the system was ripe for a powerful enemy to push out the Brotherhood. Yet they were mistaken.

Launching massive crystal asteroids, the Children of Mortis unleashed hell upon the seven Clans' home systems. Each asteroid slowing at impact to create a large impact site, The Children set off to gather what research had been found on their crystals, as well as any stored crystals the clans might possess. While this assault is launched, The Father took control of The Harbinger as is his will to take a more direct hand in overseeing the attack. Avitus Oligard, praised for his insight on each of the Clans, goes to aid Saira O'Setera as she begins the birthing process.

Chapter 2

The Council frantically tries to comprise the data on the crystals, hoping to find a way to stop their power. Each of the Clans show different strengths and weaknesses against the Children as they defend their homes. With the asteroids safely planet side, the Children began the next phase of their conquest, activating the asteroids as "World Seeds". These seeds begin to drain the life from the planets they reside upon, causing even more crystals to grow.

Chapter 3

A method of purifying the crystals is found, and released into the Clans' systems. Each of the Clans show great strength and power as they push back the Children from their homes. In shock, the Children retreat, seemingly vanishing into an ethereal realm. Saira gives birth to a baby boy, who begins to age toward adulthood rapidly.

The now-purified crystals are harvested and used by the Clans to create unique and powerful tools, defenses, and weapons. The Grand Master begins his own study of the portals the Children summoned, hoping they might find a way to destroy their enemy, and find the illusive former Grand Master, Telaris Cantor.

A toddler child is brought before the Father, revealed at last to be a Skeleton of pure crystal. Once known as Matthias Westland, thousands of years ago, The Father appraises the toddler as an appropriate vessel.

Still residing within the Cor’neria System, Rath Oligard watches streams of data regarding the Children's attack against the Brotherhood, appraising how best to use this opportunity to destroy his most hated enemy.

Year Story Arc Fiction
39 ABY Rite of Supremacy: Escalation

Escalation: Chapter 1
Escalation: Chapter 2
Escalation: Chapter 3

Crack grew in the factions of the Severian Principate, and Tenixir Revenants. Influenced by the mystical crystals that had been recovered over the previous few years, both factions split in half, each with one favoring peace, the other all out war. War comes to them all on the planet of Dandoran.

At the invitation of Py'zah the Hutt, The Principate and Revenants arrive to bid on a large cache of crystals, when shots are finally fired. The Brotherhood answers both sides call with each member choosing for themselves who they would like to support. Within The Principate, there were the brutal Restorers and the peace-seeking Harmonists. For the Revenants, there was the vengeance-seeking Retributionists and the opportunistic Expansionists.

Things became more complicated when the Restorers revealed they had melded the crystals with soldiers, creating fearsome Restoration Troopers, large lumbering beasts that were near impossible to kill. At the same time, The Seer, representing a new entity known as The Children of Mortis, brought with her Crystal Ascendants, beings also augmented with crystal but in such a way their connection to the force was magnified greatly.

Eventually, The Harmonists won the day. The Seer retreated with Avitus Oligard in tow. The Principate agreed to begin demilitarizing their armies, and the Revenants agreed to strike out to far away systems to prevent further bloodshed.
