=== The Collective — Rite of Supremacy: Meridian ===
{{Quote| A decisive blow has been struck in the ongoing battle between the Brotherhood and the Collective. With the death of the Technocratic Guild leader known as Daggo Mouk—and the loss of Meridian Space Station—the Collective have scaled back their harassment of the Brotherhood. We harbor no illusions that Rath Oligard and his followers would ever abandon their cause to rid the Galaxy of Force Users, but their withdrawal has given the Dark Council some much needed breathing room to reinforce their hold on their respective territories. Of course, nothing is ever that simple.<br><br>The continued conflicts with the Collective—combined with meeting the material needs of the Dark Council's new home world, fleet, and personnel—has stretched the Regent's finances thin. In response, Arx Capital Exchange launched a new business venture to monetize the research, hunting, transportation, and care of rare and exotic beasts from Tooka’s to Rancor’s. While the business venture has spurred a spike in commerce in the Brotherhood's favors, creature trade and entertainment cannot provide new shipyards or consumable resources to fuel a fleet. <br><br>That's where the latest advanced scouting reports comes in to make things interesting. According to Meridian Station operators, a new faction has made its presence known in Hutt space. They call themselves the Severian Principate, an Imperial remnant group that seems to represent the opposite of the more radical ideology of the First Order or even the Collective. This group has the potential to be the trade partner and ally the Brotherhood desperately needs. They could also become yet another threat for us to face. <br><br> Like I said, nothing is ever that simple.|[[Ness'arin Ohnaka]], Director of the [[Inquisitorius]] 37 ABY}}


{{Quote|Following the [[Twelfth Great Jedi War]] and the Battle for Nancora, Darth Pravus's departure from the Brotherhood left more questions than answers hanging in the air. How would Grand Master Telaris Cantor's reign differ from Pravus' New Order, and how much would remain unchanged? Whatever the answers might be, the War taught us one harsh lesson: the Brotherhood is not as safe or secure as we once believed it. With only six clans remaining, The Collective have shown themselves to be a true threat. Even with their defeat, they do not seem deterred from their pursuit of purging the Brotherhood from the Galaxy. We will not win this fight alone or divided. As my duty as Master Archivist comes to and end, however, the rest of this story will fall to the next Headmaster. May the Force guide us forward into a stronger Brotherhood. |[[Farrin Xies]], [[Headmaster]] Emeritus, 36 ABY}}


{{Quote|The Collective called it 'Meridian', a space station, a prison, and a research facility. One of our top agents in the Shadow Academy Society, Vance Kordall, was captured and taken to this place. This action, while not the sole catalyst for Brotherhood action, did indeed help spark the discovery of this outpost. It will be up to the Clans, united if only temporarily against a common foe, to take the station and strike a decisive blow to the Collective.  |Ness'arin Ohnaka, '''Director''' of the [[Inquisitorius]] 36 ABY}}

'''Summary:'''


* A gathering of bureaucrats, nobles, merchants, and dignitaries is being hosted at the Dark Ascent on Arx.
''With the crushing loss of Technocratic Guild leader Daggo Mouk—and the subsequent seizing of Meridian Station—the Brotherhood has forced Rath Oligard to reconsider his strategies against the Brotherhood. The mastermind behind the Collective had not predicated a demonstration of unity—frail as it might have been—between the disparate and often volatile clans and the Dark Council. Oligard realized that different strategies would be needed to accomplish his goals.
* In private, Grand Master Pravus reveals that he is stepping away from the throne.
* Deputy Grand Master Telaris is told that his time has come. Long may he reign.
* Back at the gathering, the various leadership representatives of the Clans are present: with the exception of Odan Urr.
* Telaris appears where Pravus should be, shocking many of the gathered to different degrees.
* Telaris is the new Grand Master, and he says that in order to reforge the Brotherhood in the face of the threat that is the Collective, the Brotherhood needs to be unified.
* Telaris states that the Council will continue to bolster and support the Clans territories.
* Jac Cotelin has been replaced as Justicar by Dacien Victae diPlagia.
* Selika Roh has become the new Herald.
* Morgan Sorenn has become the new Deputy Grand Master.
* Later: It is revealed that a Collective spy was able to record the exchange and share it with the Collective leadership.
* Ghafa and Daggo argue over their mixed success and failures against the Brotherhood so far.
* Rath quiets them, and admits to not predicting that Pravus would just walk away from everything.
* Rath resolves that this will not stop him from achieving his goals. The Collective will not stop until the Brotherhood is eradicated from the face of the Galaxy.


==== [The Collective] Chapter 1: Counterpoints  ====
''Meanwhile, with the Collective now in recession, the Brotherhood has begun to raise its head as a power to be recognized and respected within the Unknown Regions. Thanks to the resources provided by their home planet, Arx, the Dark Council continues to expand trade and commerce while establishing loose order with the Clans.

[[File:Ros-meridian-logo.png|center|400px]]
* Archenskov, as the new Combat Master, takes stock of the Combat Training Center facilities.
* Nearby, at the Shadow Academy, we are introduced the Acquisitions wing where artifacts and relics brought back from expeditions are checked in for processing.
* Vera Wright, an ACE pilot who was injured in a bout with the Collective prior to the attack on Meridian, is fully recovered and back to escorting Shadow Academy agents on shipping routes. With the Collective pulled back, for now, the routes have been much safer. Members voted on a #VeraLives vs #VeraDies newspost thread and the former won out.
* Vance Kordall, previously a captive of the Collective after hunting down an artifact in the Kessel Sector, is also looking to be recovered and back on the job.
* Vera and Vance meet TC-42, a protocol droid tasked with monitoring incoming deliveries for the Shadow Academy Society.
* Vance mentions finding a rare journal belonging to Veris Hydan, a man who worked with Emperor Palpatine during the early days of the Rebellion and was obsessed with the “World beyond worlds” that could lead to such things as time travel.
* He asks to speak to Madame Curator Deandria Clery — the master archivist for the Brotherhood. Kind of like the DB’s version of Jocsta Nu.
* Vance gets rejected at the open net by Vera. Swallow sadness.
* Meanwhile,Evant and Marick are looking over reports in the Voice’s office nested within the Dark Ascent.
* Marick is “pacing”, frustrated and concerned in his own way that the Collective have been so quiet since Meridian.
* Evant says that it’s probably a good thing and recaps a bit of what happened as a result of Meridian (the last RoS).
* Meridian was handed over to the Clans, but is also serving as a Inquisitorius outpost. It was damaged, so repairs are still being worked on.
* Evant is happy that trade routes seem to be safer now, since the CEO of ACE is being slightly less annoying about profits.
* Marick notices something in the reports from Meridian. Captain Crimson, the poster mascot for the Liberation Front (Collective pillar) is meeting with an unknown third party.
* Neither Evant or Marick have heard about something called the “Sevarian Principate”.
* To be continued...

In an attempt to stop the Brotherhood from finding out about Meridian, the Collective launched an assaulted on an Inquisitorius listener ship, the ''Psi Termina I.'' The ship’s Captain, Dalla Fenn, transmitted the data Just before the ship was destroyed by suicide bombers, resulting in the sacrifice of not just her life but also the lives of all those on board the ship. Vance Kordall, an agent for the Shadow Academy Society, was captured by the Collective while on a mission on Ulmatra to track down an artifact on unknown interest to the Collective. Following the events on Ulmatra, [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Morgan B. Sorenn]] summoned the Consuls of each Clan in the Brotherhood in an attempt to rally them once again to combat the Collective threat.

* Director Ness’arin Ohnaka gives the Inquisitorious’ seal of approval to allow ACE and Shroud merchants and traders to forge contacts and open business transactions with the Severian Principate in order to marginalize the Collective’s influence within the breakaway Imperial polity.
* The Regent and Rhent Ghosan discuss the depleting financial assets of the Brotherhood and the impact of the war with the Collective. A possible solution takes shape requiring the efforts of the Shroud Syndicate, the Arx Capital Exchange, and the Inquisitorious deep within the Severian Principate.

''
* Within the Eld, the massive nature preserve within the Elos Vrai continent of Arx, poachers hunt the Arx wolves for their lucrative pelts.
* The huntress Neta’var Vask teaches a painful lesson to two poachers, as the Voice and Regent look on, delivering the last remaining pair of Cythraul within the galaxy to her care. A deal is made – the Eld will remain a protected preserve and a breeding ground for the Cythraul.

37 ABY Brotherhood Rising Prelude
Chapter 1: The Severian Principate
Interlude:Care of Creatures

Current Storyline: Fictional Recap


" A decisive blow has been struck in the ongoing battle between the Brotherhood and the Collective. With the death of the Technocratic Guild leader known as Daggo Mouk—and the loss of Meridian Space Station—the Collective have scaled back their harassment of the Brotherhood. We harbor no illusions that Rath Oligard and his followers would ever abandon their cause to rid the Galaxy of Force Users, but their withdrawal has given the Dark Council some much needed breathing room to reinforce their hold on their respective territories. Of course, nothing is ever that simple.

The continued conflicts with the Collective—combined with meeting the material needs of the Dark Council's new home world, fleet, and personnel—has stretched the Regent's finances thin. In response, Arx Capital Exchange launched a new business venture to monetize the research, hunting, transportation, and care of rare and exotic beasts from Tooka’s to Rancor’s. While the business venture has spurred a spike in commerce in the Brotherhood's favors, creature trade and entertainment cannot provide new shipyards or consumable resources to fuel a fleet.

That's where the latest advanced scouting reports comes in to make things interesting. According to Meridian Station operators, a new faction has made its presence known in Hutt space. They call themselves the Severian Principate, an Imperial remnant group that seems to represent the opposite of the more radical ideology of the First Order or even the Collective. This group has the potential to be the trade partner and ally the Brotherhood desperately needs. They could also become yet another threat for us to face.

Like I said, nothing is ever that simple.
"
Ness'arin Ohnaka, Director of the Inquisitorius 37 ABY


Brotherhood Rising

Summary:

With the crushing loss of Technocratic Guild leader Daggo Mouk—and the subsequent seizing of Meridian Station—the Brotherhood has forced Rath Oligard to reconsider his strategies against the Brotherhood. The mastermind behind the Collective had not predicated a demonstration of unity—frail as it might have been—between the disparate and often volatile clans and the Dark Council. Oligard realized that different strategies would be needed to accomplish his goals.

Meanwhile, with the Collective now in recession, the Brotherhood has begun to raise its head as a power to be recognized and respected within the Unknown Regions. Thanks to the resources provided by their home planet, Arx, the Dark Council continues to expand trade and commerce while establishing loose order with the Clans.

No success comes without its risks, of course. Tensions still run high between the Dark Council and the Clans, and reports indicate that there might be more than just the Collective that could be lurking in the shadows to challenge the Brotherhood...

Prelude

Summary:

  • Archenskov, as the new Combat Master, takes stock of the Combat Training Center facilities.
  • Nearby, at the Shadow Academy, we are introduced the Acquisitions wing where artifacts and relics brought back from expeditions are checked in for processing.
  • Vera Wright, an ACE pilot who was injured in a bout with the Collective prior to the attack on Meridian, is fully recovered and back to escorting Shadow Academy agents on shipping routes. With the Collective pulled back, for now, the routes have been much safer. Members voted on a #VeraLives vs #VeraDies newspost thread and the former won out.
  • Vance Kordall, previously a captive of the Collective after hunting down an artifact in the Kessel Sector, is also looking to be recovered and back on the job.
  • Vera and Vance meet TC-42, a protocol droid tasked with monitoring incoming deliveries for the Shadow Academy Society.
  • Vance mentions finding a rare journal belonging to Veris Hydan, a man who worked with Emperor Palpatine during the early days of the Rebellion and was obsessed with the “World beyond worlds” that could lead to such things as time travel.
  • He asks to speak to Madame Curator Deandria Clery — the master archivist for the Brotherhood. Kind of like the DB’s version of Jocsta Nu.
  • Vance gets rejected at the open net by Vera. Swallow sadness.
  • Meanwhile,Evant and Marick are looking over reports in the Voice’s office nested within the Dark Ascent.
  • Marick is “pacing”, frustrated and concerned in his own way that the Collective have been so quiet since Meridian.
  • Evant says that it’s probably a good thing and recaps a bit of what happened as a result of Meridian (the last RoS).
  • Meridian was handed over to the Clans, but is also serving as a Inquisitorius outpost. It was damaged, so repairs are still being worked on.
  • Evant is happy that trade routes seem to be safer now, since the CEO of ACE is being slightly less annoying about profits.
  • Marick notices something in the reports from Meridian. Captain Crimson, the poster mascot for the Liberation Front (Collective pillar) is meeting with an unknown third party.
  • Neither Evant or Marick have heard about something called the “Sevarian Principate”.
  • To be continued...

Chapter 1: The Severian Principate

Summary:

  • Iden Sult, MajorDomo of the Shroud Syndicate oversees the expansion of illegal animal trade on the Godless Matron and comes across valuable data on the Collective.
  • On Meridian Prime, the identity of the Severian Principate and its home within the Kastolar Sector is discussed by Qaanlug Vlux and Damien Blackadder- agents of the Arx Capital Exchange and Shroud Syndicate, respectively.
  • Director Ness’arin Ohnaka gives the Inquisitorious’ seal of approval to allow ACE and Shroud merchants and traders to forge contacts and open business transactions with the Severian Principate in order to marginalize the Collective’s influence within the breakaway Imperial polity.
  • The Regent and Rhent Ghosan discuss the depleting financial assets of the Brotherhood and the impact of the war with the Collective. A possible solution takes shape requiring the efforts of the Shroud Syndicate, the Arx Capital Exchange, and the Inquisitorious deep within the Severian Principate.

Interlude: Care of Creatures

Summary:

Past

  • Within the Eld, the massive nature preserve within the Elos Vrai continent of Arx, poachers hunt the Arx wolves for their lucrative pelts.
  • The huntress Neta’var Vask teaches a painful lesson to two poachers, as the Voice and Regent look on, delivering the last remaining pair of Cythraul within the galaxy to her care. A deal is made – the Eld will remain a protected preserve and a breeding ground for the Cythraul.

Present

  • The Corrino Research Laboratory is completed on Uskil, Arx. The vast complex is serving its purpose as a menagerie for the study, training, and breeding of multitudes of exotic, valuable, and rare creatures.
  • Nearby, in the Colosseum the inaugural games pitting ferocious beasts against each other to entertain the denizens of Arx ensue. The years of effort and investment for the Arx Capital Exchange has finally provided dividends as ticket sales to watch the violent blood sport skyrockets.

Databank: Brotherhood Universe

The following data bank provides a quick reference to information about persons, locations, and organizations of interest that show up in the Dark Brotherhood storyline.


ORGANIZATIONS
The Collective The Collective is a powerful organization that has chosen the recent events of the conflict between the Brotherhood’s Resistance and the Iron Throne to make its presence and purpose known.
The Severian Principate The Severian Principate is a rare Imperial Warlord state which not only endured but thrived following the Empire’s collapse. Originally a network of mining worlds and orbital facilities in the Kastolar Sector, it existed to fuel the Empire’s war machine. This changed with the governorship of Lucian Niatinus, a commander disillusioned with the Emperor’s self-destructive policies. Devoted to improving the lives of his citizens and secretly allying with the smugglers and pirates from the nearby Hutt Space, he sought to create an ordered state free of the tyranny which inspired the Rebellion.
The Dark Council The Dark Council serves the Grand Master of the Brotherhood, and governs the various elements of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.
File:6clans.JPG The Seven Clans The seven Clans of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood all hold different motivations and personalities.

Arcona, Naga Sadow, Odan-Urr, Plagueis, Scholae Palatinae, Taldryan, Clan Vizsla.

A member of each respective unit is referred to in the following manner:

  • Arconan
  • Taldryanite
  • Sadowan
  • Palatinaean
  • Odanite
  • Plagueian
  • Member of Clan Vizsla

Former members of Clan Tarentum identify as Tarenti.

Iron Forces The Iron Forces are divided into two divisions: The Iron Navy, and the Iron Legion.
Arx Capital Exchange The Arx Capital Exchange, or ACE, is the financial and industrial apparatus of the Arx System and the Dark Council as a whole.
Inquisitorius The Inquisitorius are the Grand Master’s covert network of agents. They represent the Brotherhood's strength outside of the Iron Legion and Iron Fleet. While not all that are enrolled are aligned with the Grand Master’s visions, many compete for favor and to rise in the rankings. The Society offers various awards and incentives and is headed by the Voice of the Brotherhood.
Shroud Syndicate The Shroud Syndicate is the premiere criminal organization operating in Dark Brotherhood space. It involves many smaller gangs, crews, and criminal combines within its area of operation, it is lead by the Herald, and operates from the Shroud Nebula where their massive ship, the Godless Matron, makes berth. The organization is involved in almost every major black market deal that happens in Dark Brotherhood space.
LOCATIONS
Arx System The Arx System is located in the depths of Wild Space, far away from the core worlds and isolated from the galaxy at large. The planet Arx — or more commonly simply called "Arx" — now serves as the current seat of power for the Dark Brotherhood.
Outer Rim Territories The Outer Rim Territories, also known as the Outer Rim or Outer Systems, was a sparsely populated region of the galaxy located outside the Mid Rim before Wild Space and the Unknown Regions. The largest region in the galaxy, it was home to diverse worlds and rugged, primitive frontier planets. It is here that the bulk of the Brotherhood’s storyline evolves.
