House Gladius: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:15, 11 December 2006

House Gladius is part of Clan Tarentum, it was originally a multi-order house and was turned into a Krath House until after the Fifth Great Jedi War when it became a multi-order house once again..

History

House Tarentum continued to grow as more Dark Jedi continued to attempt to meet there High standards and enter their hallowed halls, their underwater castle stared to get crowded, the atmosphere started to get volatile (it is not wise to keep Dark Jedi so cramped). It is unconfirmed, but rumors of fighting and even deaths were heard to have seeped from their castle. Grand Master Khyron decreed House Tarentum should form itself into Clan Tarentum and two new Houses should be formed under Clan Tarentum. Quaestor, SBM Torquemada and Aedile Jammin were promoted to Consul and Proconsul of the new Clan Tarentum. Then came the formidable task of creating the two new Houses, finding Quaestors and Aedils for both, and the most pressing problem, finding a new world for one of the Houses to move to.

As the new Clan Consul and Proconsul were trying to decide who the two new Quaestors should be, at the urging and support of the entire Hammerhead Squadron and many Obelisk and Krath members whom had fought side by side with him, Sith Battlemaster Shadow, then commander of the formidable House Squadron Hammerhead stepped forward and claimed one of the New Houses. As it is said from ancient times, a Warrior lives and dies by his sword, thus was born House Gladius (Sword)! Sith Warrior Bull, another Jedi of great renown, claimed the other House as his own, and thus was born House Tridens!

SBM Shadow had had enough of the in-House fighting. He was a member of the Order of the Sith, he was born to space, as were all the members of Hammerhead who had followed him. Thus taking the House’s Victory Class Star Destroyer "Corsair" and all that would follow him, he set out to find a new Home for House Gladius. As they were preparing to leave the Yridia system, Aedile Silver Fox informed Shadow that a small group of pirates were attacking an incoming freighter. As Hammerhead Squadron was dispatched to take care of the pirates a memory surfaced from years earlier of a large band of pirates that had plagued the Yridia system for years. Tarentum had tried for a long time to rid the system of the pirates, but they always disappeared into the Itaana belt on the edge of the Yridia system. Then Hammerhead was taken over by the legendary Dark Jedi, Dark Side Adept Renell "Pappy" Gar. On one sortie against the pirates Pappy used his eminence dark side powers to allow him to follow one of the escaping pirates, undetected, back to there base in the Itaana belt. Pappy later led Hammerhead Squadron and the House Obelisk Brigade back to the pirate hideout, it was a large asteroid, hidden in the middle of the belt. The asteroid was well defended, but the forces of Tarentum prevailed. Most of the pirates died, and those that were not killed, were taken for questioning by the Dark Jedi, a destiny by some considered worse than death. Tarentum had been lucky, that asteroid had been equipped with a very powerful planetary shield and an ancient cloaking device. Both had been inoperable at the time, parts were so scarce for these antiques; they were always breaking down according to the pirates. He remembered walking through those ancient corridors with the other members of Tarentum. He had learned from the pirates that they had found the base by accident. They had not build it. They walked fascinated through the halls and corridors, they could almost feel that the place was ancient during the Old Republic era; it had a power to it that seemed to radiate from the walls. None wanted to leave.

As Shadow stood on the deck of the "Corsair" he knew he had found Gladius a new home. Over the years, as members grew and went on to other pursuits, the memory and the actual location of the asteroid were all but forgotten, but to a few members of Hammerhead who could never forget the place or the power it seemed to have. They remembered! Shadow called a House conference of all members of House Gladius in the main hangar bay of the "Corsair", he, and other members told the House of the asteroid and that they wished to make it there new home. After hearing the entire story and the memories of the one’s who had been there, they all voted unanimously to make it their new Home. Thus was born "The Sword’s Sheath", the name of the new home of Gladius!

With time, the Dark Jedi Knights residing in "The Sword’s Sheath" rose in power. Especially the Krath liked the ancient base. With it’s stronghold, Star Destroyer, and skilled pilots and warriors, Gladius became a powerful House of The Dark Brotherhood. Shadow performed an excellent duty in running the House, and his superiors noticed his efforts. One day, an Imperial Shuttle requested permission to land in the base. Many members were surprised, since it’s location was only known to a few outside House Gladius. This was no ordinary shuttle, though. It was carrying an envoy from the Grand Master. Shadow was to immediately travel to the Dark Hall, and bring a young Jedi Hunter named Mandrax. The whole House saluted Shadow when he left, and the Hammerhead Squadron flew with him until he entered hyperspace.

Once on Eos, Shadow was told that he had been promoted, to Proconsul of Clan Tarentum. Very honored by this, he left soon, to take on the duties of his new position. At this time, Mandrax was told that superiors had watched him, for his strength in the Force, and his rage and fury. He had been selected to take the position Shadow had left, as Quaestor of House Gladius. After this, Mandrax received very intense training in the force, and learned dimensions of it that he could never had imagined before. He was also taught how to create his own Lightsaber.

Mandrax then returned, now as an Obeliskan Warrior, to take his new position, and a new era of House Gladius began.
