History

**Note: For a detailed history of House Exar Kun before the merger, see Clan Exar Kun.**

Dictum of Two Skies

The once great Clan Exar Kun was weakened and in shambles, clinging to the shreds of its previous glory and honor as corruption began to spread throughout the Clan. Clan Satal Keto was in the same state as the once glorious Exar Kun, forcing the Dark Council to intervene. In its entirety, the legendary Star Chamber visited the remnants of Exar Kun and Satal Keto, and pronounced the Dictum of Two Skies. There could no longer be two fates for these Clans; they would unite now as one, and lend the strengths of both to a new order for them. The composure of this Clan would be decided in ritual combat; the weak would perish so that the strong might survive.

And thus the Dictum of Two Skies was carried out. New members came to the field, and for a month, Jedi fought Jedi in battle for supremacy, and when the dust finally fell, a new band stood together, united by victory and strength, their weaknesses purged and cleansed in a trial by fire. From the ashes of two Clans arose a new one: Plagueis, a new life born of death. Then the Dictum was released, and as their final act, the Elders of the Star Chamber worked a great feat of Force magic - grasping the skeins of reality itself, they wove together the twin fates of Exar Kun and Satal Keto, and merged their powers into one. And with that the two once great Clans became Houses of the newly formed Clan Plagueis. The Crimson Tide Emerges

The Crimson Tide became a threat to the recently formed Exar Kun in the Elysian Sector. A pirate organization of exceptional skill and well equipped, the Crimson Tide attacked the shipping and trade routes of House Exar Kun and its possessions. Eventually the brutality and continual disruptions of the Crimson Tide, forced the Clan and the House to act.

The Crimson Tide attacks were disastrously efficient and well planned and if pirate organization continued it would have only been a matter of time before the entire Clan was brought to its knees. Unbeknownst to House Exar Kun, the Tide had more entrenched plans than they expected. The organization had successfully implanted itself throughout the Elysian sector and infiltrated a once desolate region of Ysgard, establishing a highly sophisticated and protected base. The Crimson Tide was more than a minor pirate threat to House Exar Kun.

To combat the entrenched Crimson Tide, House Exar Kun prepared a intricate plan involving the both Battle Teams, Exar’s Shadow and Blades of Kun, along with various upper level House members on separate missions. The House was extremely successful in their missions, destroying the Tide’s Dreadnaught flagship, Ysgard base and the infrastructure within the sector. Unusually, during the mission, an Imperator-class Mark II Star Destroyer appeared and was boarded. The Star Destroyer was vacant, at the House Summit chose to destroy it rather than risk discovering why it was deserted. House Exar Kun had met its first major challenge and successfully united and defeated it.

Exar’s Shadow Shines

The fourth planet from the sun, Eden, was the location of the once active House Byss then Bane. Shortly after the suspected defeat of the Crimson Tide, House Exar Kun received a signal from the deserted planet and tasked Exar’s Shadow Battle Team with investigation. Originally, the House leadership and intelligence believe that the beckon signal was no more than natives intervening in areas they should not be. Little did the House know it was more complicated.

Upon arrival to the fourth planet of Eden, Exar’s Shadow was already expected by what appeared to be Imperials. During the battles, the Battle Team determined that they were pirates, of none other than the destroyed Crimson Tide. In addition, Exar’s Shadow came in contact with Dark Side users who were well trained in the arts. While throwing the Battle Team off, they successfully defeated this new and unexpected enemy.

After investigation, it was discovered that the Crimson Tide was interested in seizing an artificial intelligence known as Firefly. Firefly was created to guard the knowledge and secrets gained by House Byss and later Bane. Firefly’s task was to take information, link it and extract patters and meanings that even the wisest Krath could not fathom. Foolishly, the pirate organization believed that the Firefly was left in the House Bane complex but it was taken during the closure of Bane and was stored in the vaults of Castle Frost.

In the final move by Exar’s Shadow, the Battle Team ambushed evacuating Crimson Tide members and captured their leader, Alonzo Bodelle. Exar’s Shadow successfully restrained the Crimson Tide pirate chief to return him to Castle Frost for interrogaton. In a closing measure, the Battle Team members ordered the removal of foreign materials and dead bodies from the planet and reactivated the House’s security systems, ensuring that no one trespasses again.

Kun’s Requiem Razes

On Elysian rested a great temple that Kun’s Requiem was charged to investigate for possible activity. The House leaders pitted Exar’s Shadow and Kun’s Requiem against one another on separate important missions, hoping that both Battle Teams would force the other to excel. In addition, the temple mission was one that was not set to be overly dangerous and in the House leaders’ opinion, inter-House rivalry was needed. (The mission Exar’s Shadow was tasked with is written above.)

Upon reaching the temple, the Battle Team discovered a defensive perimeter already in place. It was as the House leaders had feared, a pirate organization has set up a base right under the Dark Jedi’s noses. With great skill, Kun’s Requiem successfully disabled the defenses and invaded the temple. The Battle Team discovered a research facility and after questioning the chief scientist, Kun’s Requiem engaged in total destruction of the temple’s facilities. The ruined facility became evidence of the infamous Crimson Tide had survived.

After the minor interrogation, Kun’s Requiem discovered that the Tide was going to strike. The Battle Team took the various fighters and shuttle it possessed and prepared for battle. The battle began as the Battle Team was in the midst of preparations; the pirate organization had known the Dark Jedi were coming. Outnumbered over six times, the Battle Team entered the fray, with six TIE Defenders and one shuttle.

After a long battle, the pirates eventually surrendered and requested that the Dark Jedi board their vessel. Against their better judgment, Kun’s Requiem entered the pirate ship. With a safe entrance, the Battle Team prepared for a trap. After being invited for drinks, with Imperial-dressed officers, Kun’s Requiem sprung the trap. In the ship’s mess, the Battle Team destroyed the majority of the crew and began to exterminate the rest of the pirates. With the skill of veteran Dark Jedi and the Dark Side of the Force, Kun’s Requiem destroyed the pirates and after escaping the ship, destroyed it. The Battle Team had discovered remnants of the Crimson Tide in their mission, causing for unrest to spread throughout the members of the now infamous Kun’s Requiem.

Abandoning Acarr, Jusidah Becomes Home

Aerun: Exar Kun's New Home

In the Acarr system, the sun was shuddering with anger. The great feat of the Star Chamber, the Dictum of the Two Skies, had distorted reality by merging the great powers of Exar Kun and Satal Keto, causing the heart of the great star of Sigil to falter. The doom was close, but the Clan and Houses still had time to act. With great speed, the Clan mobilized and began evacuation, fleeing to the Jusidah system.

During the evacuation, the dreaded Crimson Tide returned to seek vengeance on their defeaters, and launched an attack on the moving Plagueis forces. The Clan fought valiantly, and despite overwhelming odds against them, held back the Tide forces until the evacuation could be completed. In a final act of malign vengeance, Consul Kir Katarn and Proconsul Aristan Dantes blockaded the system, trapping the majority of the mercenary forces within as Sigil went supernova.

With the bulk of the pirate organization destroyed, House Exar Kun began construction of their primary headquarters on their new planet of Aerun, a peaceful planet engulfed in deadly forests.

Recapturing the Captured

For months Battle Team Exar's Shadow, led by Aabsdu, interrogated Alonzo Bodelle, but they could pull nothing valuable from him. One night, a small squad of pirates unrelated to the Crimson Tide invaded Diadem Fortress. They released Alonzo from his sell and stole blueprints to the Dark Tower on Jusadih.

Quaestor Braecen quickly sent the house's two battle teams, Exar's Shadow and Blades of Kun, after the pirates. They chased each other for nine days before finally coming to an epic battle over the planet of Dathomir. Blades of Kun fought the forces in space, while Exar's Shadow boarded the pirates' capital ship, The Killer. Exar's Shadow placed bombs all throughout the ship, and detonated them while Commander Aabsdu searched for Alonzo. In the end, however, the team was forced to retreat as the ship started to fall apart. They left, sure that Alonzo and the rest of the pirates had been killed.

Alonzo Bodelle

They were unaware, however, that Alonzo had in fact survived. He made his way to Dathomir, where he met up with the rest of the Crimson Tide, and slowly they formed their plan to attack Clan Plagueis once again.
