=== Brotherhood Rising ===
A decisive blow has was struck in the ongoing fued 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. Their withdrawal gave the Dark Council some much needed breathing room to reinforce their hold on their respective territories. The continued conflicts with the Collective—combined with meeting the material needs of the Dark Council's new home world, fleet, and personnel—stretched the Regent's coffers thin.
In the hopes of reaching a  trade deal with a new partner, the Grand Master created an opportunity to meet with a new organization that could stand to be an invaluable partner for the Brotherhood. They call themselves the [[Severian Principate]].


'''Summary:
With the leadership of the Brotherhood shifting gears, Evant Taelyan was appointed Deputy Grand Master. His first task? Assemble a group of delegates from the seven respective Clans, and take them to the [[Lyra-3K-a]] system to meet with representatives from the [[Severian Principate]].
'''


''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.

The Lyra-3K-a star system to meet with diplomats from the Severian Principate with the hope of forging a mutually beneficial alliance between the two powers.

<blockquote> Just as the Brotherhood begins a historic diplomatic meeting with the Severian Principate, the Collective has made a hard move to sow discord and disrupt the potential alliance. Under the disguise of Iron Forces ships and pilots, they have launched multiple false-flag attacks on key locations in the Lyra-3K-a system. In a desperate attempt to prevent the deal from falling through, Deputy Grand Master Evant Taelyan has sent out an encrypted, coded message across the Advanced Inquisitorius Network (AIN) calling on all Brotherhood personal to lend aid. The fate of this potential alliance now hangs in the hands of the Seven Clans of the Brotherhood. </blockquote>

* 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...

* 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.

'''Summary:
'''
* Dacien (Bubba), Howlader, Selika, join Seraphol for a drink on the Shadow Academy platform orbiting Arx, discussing the addition of Clan Vizsla to the Brotherhood’s ranks. 
* Dacien is optimistic, Selika has her doubts, and Howie is annoyed he has to learn new names and do more paperwork.
* Meanwhile, Evant has been called to the Throne Room to meet with the Grand Master...in private.
* Grand Master Telaris tells Evant that Morgan is being sent away on a top secret mission of importance to the Brotherhood. This leaves him with needing a right-hand man.
* Evant is offered Deputy Grand Master. At first he is shocked, having been content with Regent, but then agrees on the spot.
* Evant is told that he leaves right away with a group of representatives from each of the Clans to go on a diplomatic meeting with [[The Severian Principate]]
* Evant sasses the GM and throws shade at Morgan running off. Telaris is not amused and dismissed Evant to go get to work.  
* In the Mid Rim sector of Kastolar, we get our first look at [[The Severin Principates]] headquarters on the planet *Sirmium*.
* It’s an oceanic world with a flat landing platform that lowers into a secret underwater Imperial mansion.
* We are introduced to the Triumvirate of [[The Severian Principate]]
* They talk amongst each other, and we get an idea of how the three think of/respect one another. Adlez, Twi’lek, is the older, wisened one. Vairya, Human, is younger and more cheerfully optimistic. Kamlin, Mirilan, is more reserved and pragmatic.
* All three women have earned their place atop this organization and should not be trifled with.
* Aemilius Crassus, Pwimtar Takrid, Harvey Daley are the three emissaries chosen to represent the Severian Principate in meeting with the Brotherhood.
* Aemilius is a Munn, Pwimtar a Quarren, and Harvey a human. #diversity
* The Triumvirate gives a briefing on what they know of the Brotherhood. Keep in mind, this is their perspective of what *they* know of *us*. They do not know the finer details of the DC’s relation with each unit or the drama’s therein.
* The Principate assumes that Morgan Sorrenn is going to be the Deputy Grand Master that they are meeting.
* Little do they know that instead of a Pirate Queen, they are getting Darth Logistics (Evant).
* Meanwhile, back on Arx, Atra is told by Telaris that he is now in charge of all the clubs finances, trade, and commerce as the new Regent.
* Telaris reveals that Dracryis has also stepped down as Fist. That said, one does not simply walk away from that kind of role/responsibility. Telaris makes him a Praetor to keep an eye on him.
* The new Fist is revealed to Alaris Jinn.
* Alaris is met by Voice Marick Tyris. The two exchange polite nods.
* Alaris is to report to Lena Rhell (head of the Navy) and Damon Nix (head of the ground forces and personnel) to get caught up to speed on being Fist.
* Marick apparently does not seem to appreciate Turbolift shafts. 
* Alaris is ready to play the game of thrones.

Finale

“I assure you, Mr. Daley, that the vessels you are reporting as attacking the shipyard are not from the Iron Navy, nor would any of our military personnel do anything to put the lives of Lyra Colony or the Shipyard in danger,” - Evant Taelyan

As representatives of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and The Collective met with leaders of the Severian Principate, Collective forces disguised as an element of the Brotherhood launched a false-flag surprise attack on the Principate, hitting targets across the Lyra System. The Collective feigns shock and ignorance as the Brotherhood scrambles to contain the situation and the Principate stands poised on the brink of war. Out of this discord, new opportunities have presented themselves to the Clans, from salvaging diplomatic ties with a new ally, to securing new sources of power and profit for themselves.

Summary

A decisive blow has was struck in the ongoing fued 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. Their withdrawal gave the Dark Council some much needed breathing room to reinforce their hold on their respective territories. The continued conflicts with the Collective—combined with meeting the material needs of the Dark Council's new home world, fleet, and personnel—stretched the Regent's coffers thin. In the hopes of reaching a trade deal with a new partner, the Grand Master created an opportunity to meet with a new organization that could stand to be an invaluable partner for the Brotherhood. They call themselves the Severian Principate.

With the leadership of the Brotherhood shifting gears, Evant Taelyan was appointed Deputy Grand Master. His first task? Assemble a group of delegates from the seven respective Clans, and take them to the Lyra-3K-a system to meet with representatives from the Severian Principate.

[Prologue]


If you want peace, prepare for war...

The Deputy Grand Master has assembled his team of diplomats that represent each of the Brotherhood’s seven clans. Their destination? The Lyra-3K-a star system to meet with diplomats from the Severian Principate with the hope of forging a mutually beneficial alliance between the two powers. While the Iron Forces make their way towards the locations of interest, however, the Collective makes a bold move to disrupt diplomacy as discord looms on the horizon...

[Chapter One] Catalyst


"Opposition brings concord. Out of discord comes the fairest harmony.”

Just as the Brotherhood begins a historic diplomatic meeting with the Severian Principate, the Collective has made a hard move to sow discord and disrupt the potential alliance. Under the disguise of Iron Forces ships and pilots, they have launched multiple false-flag attacks on key locations in the Lyra-3K-a system. In a desperate attempt to prevent the deal from falling through, Deputy Grand Master Evant Taelyan has sent out an encrypted, coded message across the Advanced Inquisitorius Network (AIN) calling on all Brotherhood personal to lend aid. The fate of this potential alliance now hangs in the hands of the Seven Clans of the Brotherhood.

[Chapter Two] When Words Fail


"Truth is stranger than fiction because we don’t meet it as often.”

Although the Brotherhood has produced evidence of the Collective false-flag attack, the Severian Principate remains skeptical of the Brotherhood's motivations. To make matters worse, elements of the Principate 5th Fleet have taken up arms against the Brotherhood system-wide.

[Finale]


"False dichotomies are often at the heart of discord."

For all their attempts at a peaceful resolution, three galactic powers had become entwined in a war for the truth behind the seeds of discord. The blurred line between truth and fiction had caught the loyal supporters of the Severian Principate in the crossfire of the Collective’s feud with the Dark Brotherhood. Across the Lyra-3K-a system, three theaters of war entered the final chapters of their respective battles and conflicts.

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.
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.
Antei The former home system and planet of the Dark Brotherhood. Destroyed by former Grand Master Muz Ashen in a destructive ritual to gain immortality.
