After months of discussion, The [[Severian Principate]] has requested the Brotherhood take on a number of their criminal population, including captured [[Collective]] agents from the events in the [[Lyra-3K-a|Lyra system]]. During the prisoner transfer, the Collective created a riot on the Principate’s prison planet of [[Tenixir]]. Brotherhood forces were sent to restore order and prevent the Collective from escaping. Additional information was relayed to the Brotherhood from prisoners within the complex itself, not wishing to be killed in the conflict.

The Collective succeeded in freeing some of their scientists from the facility, but just barely. Their remaining forces were either killed in recaptured as the Brotherhood quickly shut down the prison riot. Due to the Brotherhood’s swift actions, the relationship between the Principate and the Brotherhood improved even more.  
|}
 
As an act of good faith for their assistance, many of the prisoners were released by the Brotherhood. This group banded together under the lead of Rasha Hawee, becoming [[The Tenixir Revenants]]. This group has a strong hatred of the Principate, and due to the severity of the Brotherhood’s action on Tenixir is very distrustful.  
 
While the Collective was focused on freeing their people, the Brotherhood launched their own rescue mission, recovering the captured Deputy Grand Master, Evant Taelyan, alongside three of the clan representatives that were lost in the Lyra system. Heavily tortured and in need of medical attention, they returned home to the [[Arx_System|Arx system]].
 
=== Chapter I ===
 
Evant Taelyan was brought before the [[Grand Master]], and mind probed. The Grand Master viewed Evant’s long and painful torture at the hands of the Collective before decreeing that Taelyan could return to duty as he saw fit. Taelyan’s hatred would now sustain him. The Grand Master decided it was time to put his plans for a powerful Sith Empire into motion.


== Current Storyline: Fictional Recap ==
In Collective Space, advancements had been made by the Technocratic Guild in augmenting their soldiers with an AI consciousness. These AI-enhanced soldiers work as one cohesive mind, making them very dangerous. Rath Oligard, leader of the Collective, ordered an attack on the Brotherhood with these upgraded soldiers, now that the “broken fool” was back home.


{{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.

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}}
The new [[Headmaster|Headmistress]] Ciara learns of some research into the Collective’s plans with AI and the long-forgotten Ordu Aspectu’s research. At the same time Evant, having recovered from his capture arrived on the Shadow Academy’s space station, ''Nesolat Platform''. Shortly after, the Collective began its attack, hoping to capture the station and use it to bypass the planetary shields of Arx below.




=== Brotherhood Rising ===
=== Chapter II ===


'''Summary:
The Clans of the Brotherhood arrived to push back the Collective, facing off in separate theaters of war, Nesolat Platform, [[Mattock Station]], and the [[Godless Matron]]. Under siege by experimental weaponry, however, Brotherhood-aligned forces took massive damage, resulting in the destruction of the shield gate above Eos City.
'''


''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.
Onboard Nesolat Platform, Evant Taelyan reached the core systems, leading an arsenal of Collective forces against his own people. Utilizing the stations ejection and planetside landing capabilities, Evant led the Collective to Arx’s surface.  


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.
Additional Collective battlegroups arrived in the Arx system, including the Skylla, with Rath Oligard himself onboard. The arrival of these additional forces saw the destruction of the Brotherhood’s Resurgent-class Destroyer, the Endeavor.  


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...''
Betrayed by his right hand, Telaris Cantor assured the Fist that there were additional plans in motion to prevent the Brotherhood’s destruction. The Clans of the Brotherhood were instructed to make planetfall and prepare to fight against the Collective in key locations vital to holding the system.  


==== Prelude ====
Elsewhere, having received a mysterious message from the Grand Master, the Seneschal left his normal duties to retrieve some old allies to fulfill the Grand Master’s plan.

With the Collective entrenched in the city of Eos, Telaris Cantor finally enacted his plan. Evant Taelyan arrived to kill his former master, and ensure the destruction of the Collective once and for all. Telaris used this opening to drain life from Evant to power an ancient Sith ritual. The ritual worked as a form of Battle Meditation, envigorating the Brotherhood forces while breaking down the will of the Collective. But even despite his great power, the Grand Master couldn't sustain the ritual. Asking for help from the clans to focus and combine their energies, the ritual was finally able to take hold.

'''Summary:
As the ritual began in earnest, Rath Oligard, along with many of his upper lieutenants arrived to kill the Grand Master, who remained unmoving as he focused on the ritual. Rath Oligard was shot by his own, Chelsie Crimson, before he was able to kill Telaris. With Rath dead, and their forces being decimated, the Collective retreated from the Arx System.

* Archenskov, as the new Combat Master, takes stock of the Combat Training Center facilities.
=== Epilogue ===
* Nearby, at the Shadow Academy, we are introduced the Acquisitions wing where artifacts and relics brought back from expeditions are checked in for processing.
As the Collective retreated, Atyiru arrived at the Dark Ascent, followed shortly by the Seneschal, who had been looking for her. The Grand Master's instructions had specified that key individuals would be present at the ascension of his  Sith Empire, Evant Taelyan among them. Barely clinging to life, Atyiru was able to bring Evant back from the cusp and into the world of the living.  
* 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”.

==== Chapter 1: The Severian Principate ====
In the Cor'neria system, Rath Oligard awoke after weeks asleep. Following his murder at the hands of Chelsie Crimson, his cousin, Avitus, drained the life from "Sparks" and used her life energy to bring the Collective Leader back to life. Enraged at finding out what brought him back, Rath clawed out his own eyes before being subdued by medical staff. Avitus fled Collective space, taking with him the crystals the Collective had been trying to collect for years.

'''Summary:'''
With the leadership of the Brotherhood shifting gears, Evant Taelyan was appointed Deputy Grand Master. His first task was to 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]].


''Past
As the meeting began, so did the attacks within the Lyra system. Falsely identifying as Brotherhood forces, The Collective attacked the Severian Principate hoping to completely destroy any chances of an alliance. Several Collective agents arrived at the meeting hoping to sway the Principate in their favor. Deputy Grand Master Evant Taelyan sent out an encrypted, coded message across the Advanced Inquisitorius Network (AIN) calling on all Brotherhood personal to lend aid and prevent the alliance from falling through.  
''
* 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 Brotherhood managed to provide evidence that they were not the attacking force within the system, and order was eventually restored. While a tenuous alliance was reached between the Principate and the Brotherhood it came at a heavy cost. Deputy Grand Master Evant Taelyan, as well as all seven of the clan representatives, were taken hostage by the Collective.
''


* 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.

Current Storyline

The current storyline delves into the Fourteenth Great Jedi War, as the Collective strike out at the Brotherhood once again.

Prelude: Trouble on Tenixir

After months of discussion, The Severian Principate has requested the Brotherhood take on a number of their criminal population, including captured Collective agents from the events in the Lyra system. During the prisoner transfer, the Collective created a riot on the Principate’s prison planet of Tenixir. Brotherhood forces were sent to restore order and prevent the Collective from escaping. Additional information was relayed to the Brotherhood from prisoners within the complex itself, not wishing to be killed in the conflict.

The Collective succeeded in freeing some of their scientists from the facility, but just barely. Their remaining forces were either killed in recaptured as the Brotherhood quickly shut down the prison riot. Due to the Brotherhood’s swift actions, the relationship between the Principate and the Brotherhood improved even more.

As an act of good faith for their assistance, many of the prisoners were released by the Brotherhood. This group banded together under the lead of Rasha Hawee, becoming The Tenixir Revenants. This group has a strong hatred of the Principate, and due to the severity of the Brotherhood’s action on Tenixir is very distrustful.

While the Collective was focused on freeing their people, the Brotherhood launched their own rescue mission, recovering the captured Deputy Grand Master, Evant Taelyan, alongside three of the clan representatives that were lost in the Lyra system. Heavily tortured and in need of medical attention, they returned home to the Arx system.

Chapter I

Evant Taelyan was brought before the Grand Master, and mind probed. The Grand Master viewed Evant’s long and painful torture at the hands of the Collective before decreeing that Taelyan could return to duty as he saw fit. Taelyan’s hatred would now sustain him. The Grand Master decided it was time to put his plans for a powerful Sith Empire into motion.

In Collective Space, advancements had been made by the Technocratic Guild in augmenting their soldiers with an AI consciousness. These AI-enhanced soldiers work as one cohesive mind, making them very dangerous. Rath Oligard, leader of the Collective, ordered an attack on the Brotherhood with these upgraded soldiers, now that the “broken fool” was back home.

The new Headmistress Ciara learns of some research into the Collective’s plans with AI and the long-forgotten Ordu Aspectu’s research. At the same time Evant, having recovered from his capture arrived on the Shadow Academy’s space station, Nesolat Platform. Shortly after, the Collective began its attack, hoping to capture the station and use it to bypass the planetary shields of Arx below.


Chapter II

The Clans of the Brotherhood arrived to push back the Collective, facing off in separate theaters of war, Nesolat Platform, Mattock Station, and the Godless Matron. Under siege by experimental weaponry, however, Brotherhood-aligned forces took massive damage, resulting in the destruction of the shield gate above Eos City.

Onboard Nesolat Platform, Evant Taelyan reached the core systems, leading an arsenal of Collective forces against his own people. Utilizing the stations ejection and planetside landing capabilities, Evant led the Collective to Arx’s surface.

Additional Collective battlegroups arrived in the Arx system, including the Skylla, with Rath Oligard himself onboard. The arrival of these additional forces saw the destruction of the Brotherhood’s Resurgent-class Destroyer, the Endeavor.

Betrayed by his right hand, Telaris Cantor assured the Fist that there were additional plans in motion to prevent the Brotherhood’s destruction. The Clans of the Brotherhood were instructed to make planetfall and prepare to fight against the Collective in key locations vital to holding the system.

Elsewhere, having received a mysterious message from the Grand Master, the Seneschal left his normal duties to retrieve some old allies to fulfill the Grand Master’s plan.

Chapter III

With the Collective entrenched in the city of Eos, Telaris Cantor finally enacted his plan. Evant Taelyan arrived to kill his former master, and ensure the destruction of the Collective once and for all. Telaris used this opening to drain life from Evant to power an ancient Sith ritual. The ritual worked as a form of Battle Meditation, envigorating the Brotherhood forces while breaking down the will of the Collective. But even despite his great power, the Grand Master couldn't sustain the ritual. Asking for help from the clans to focus and combine their energies, the ritual was finally able to take hold.

As the ritual began in earnest, Rath Oligard, along with many of his upper lieutenants arrived to kill the Grand Master, who remained unmoving as he focused on the ritual. Rath Oligard was shot by his own, Chelsie Crimson, before he was able to kill Telaris. With Rath dead, and their forces being decimated, the Collective retreated from the Arx System.

Epilogue

As the Collective retreated, Atyiru arrived at the Dark Ascent, followed shortly by the Seneschal, who had been looking for her. The Grand Master's instructions had specified that key individuals would be present at the ascension of his Sith Empire, Evant Taelyan among them. Barely clinging to life, Atyiru was able to bring Evant back from the cusp and into the world of the living.

In the Cor'neria system, Rath Oligard awoke after weeks asleep. Following his murder at the hands of Chelsie Crimson, his cousin, Avitus, drained the life from "Sparks" and used her life energy to bring the Collective Leader back to life. Enraged at finding out what brought him back, Rath clawed out his own eyes before being subdued by medical staff. Avitus fled Collective space, taking with him the crystals the Collective had been trying to collect for years.

Chapter 2:When Words Fail
Finale

A decisive blow has was struck in the ongoing feud between the Brotherhood and the Collective. With the death of the Technocratic Guild leader known as Daggo Mouk—and the loss of Meridian Prime 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 homeworld, 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 was to 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.

As the meeting began, so did the attacks within the Lyra system. Falsely identifying as Brotherhood forces, The Collective attacked the Severian Principate hoping to completely destroy any chances of an alliance. Several Collective agents arrived at the meeting hoping to sway the Principate in their favor. Deputy Grand Master Evant Taelyan sent out an encrypted, coded message across the Advanced Inquisitorius Network (AIN) calling on all Brotherhood personal to lend aid and prevent the alliance from falling through.

The Brotherhood managed to provide evidence that they were not the attacking force within the system, and order was eventually restored. While a tenuous alliance was reached between the Principate and the Brotherhood it came at a heavy cost. Deputy Grand Master Evant Taelyan, as well as all seven of the clan representatives, were taken hostage by the Collective.
