Immediately following victory at Antei, most of the Dark Jedi of [[Clan Plagueis]] returned to the [[Jusadih System]], as per the orders of Consul [[Braecen Kaeth]]. Braecen himself did not follow. He was ordered to remain on Antei for the time being where the new Grand Master, [[Muz Ashen]] could keep tabs on him. This left Proconsul [[Alaris Jinn di Plagia]] in command. This gave Jinn the opportunity he needed to continue his ascension to the Plagueian Throne. He began to make sweeping changes to the military outlook of Clan Plagueis.

Finally, after four months without Braecen, Alaris made the most overt move for power by attacking and capturing [[Cethgus Kuga]] with the assistance of [[Arion Sunrider]]. Jinn declared himself [[Consul]] which immediately caused a rift between the two Houses of Clan Plagueis. [[House Satal Keto]], more specifically [[Vivackus Kavon]] and [[Kal Vorrac]], were loyal to Alaris, who had once led the House himself. [[House Exar Kun]] was, at the time, under the command of Quaestor [[Yzarc Rellik Kaeth]], a member of the [[Kaeth]] dynasty and therefore loyal to Braecen.

[[Tarentum]], having sworn loyalty to Darth Sarin to go to Antei, was immediately deployed to the north of Adas, tasked with establishing anti-aircraft batteries as well as securing territory to the northeast in order to set up a Central Command centre and a landing zone, in order to facilitate reinforcements. However, many of Tarentum's leaders' priorities were set elsewhere, toward the destruction of the Jedi and droid army itself. One Jedi in particular, Jorax Tuar, had a history with Tarentum's [[Consul]], [[Anshar Kahn Tarentae]]. The two dueled twice during the Battle of Antei, the second duel leading to Anshar's "death" and Tuar's murder by the hands of [[Proconsul]] [[Maxamillian von Oberst]].

The Ninth Great Jedi War, or Unification, was a conflict that took place in 30 ABY on the planet Antei between the forces of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and an unidentified fundamentalist Jedi sect under the Jedi Master Omancor Crask. Initially the invasion was conceived to retake Antei from the Yuuzhan Vong. But the Six Great Clans, united under Grand Master Sarin and the Armed Forces of the Iron Throne, quickly learned that the Vong had been decimated by a biological weapon and Antei had been conquered and fortified by Crask and his army of droids.

However, the new threat to the Brotherhood would emerge to be greater than even that of the Yuuzhan Vong. Not only were Crask's Jedi and droids extremely well-trained and well-armed, but the old master himself was found to be far more powerful than any had imagined. So powerful, in fact, that before he was ultimately betrayed and defeated by his own lieutenant, Crask killed Sarin in a ranging duel that began above Antei on board the warship Exodus and ended on the surface of Antei amid the vessel's smoking ruin.

Though the united Dark Brotherhood achieved victory at Antei and had reclaimed its seat of power, tensions between Clans, the Dark Council, and the Grand Master continued to run high. The war of reclamation was an unpopular one and its aftermath set a challenging course for the rule of Darth Ashen.


History

Introduction

Two years after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had been chased from Antei, they returned, led by Aristan Dantes, unified in their thirst for vengeance and desire to regain their lost homeworld. Upon returning to Antei, it was discovered that a plague had struck the Yuuzhan Vong. The sickness had struck the alien invaders suddenly, apparently in a matter of days, and had managed to decimate the tens of thousands of Yuuzhan Vong which had been occupying the planet.

The plan was to have the clans arrive and take over the planet, using a special army which would be provided by the Iron Throne as shock troops. The battle for Antei had been planned specifically for combating an army of Vong. However, when the clans returned, they realized that the place of the invading Vong had been usurped by the Jedi known as Omancor Crask and his droid and Jedi army.

Clan Plagueis

Immediately following victory at Antei, most of the Dark Jedi of Clan Plagueis returned to the Jusadih System, as per the orders of Consul Braecen Kaeth. Braecen himself did not follow. He was ordered to remain on Antei for the time being where the new Grand Master, Muz Ashen could keep tabs on him. This left Proconsul Alaris Jinn di Plagia in command. This gave Jinn the opportunity he needed to continue his ascension to the Plagueian Throne. He began to make sweeping changes to the military outlook of Clan Plagueis.

Finally, after four months without Braecen, Alaris made the most overt move for power by attacking and capturing Cethgus Kuga with the assistance of Arion Sunrider. Jinn declared himself Consul which immediately caused a rift between the two Houses of Clan Plagueis. House Satal Keto, more specifically Vivackus Kavon and Kal Vorrac, were loyal to Alaris, who had once led the House himself. House Exar Kun was, at the time, under the command of Quaestor Yzarc Rellik Kaeth, a member of the Kaeth dynasty and therefore loyal to Braecen.

Jinn sent the prisoner, Kuga, to Morroth to be handled personally by Kavon. Yzarc knew this would be the case, and expected Jinn to be there with them. House Exar Kun began a full sweeping attack of Satal Keto's holdings, eventually capturing the Quaestor, Kavon. At this point, Vivackus Kavon revealed the Braecen had contacted him months before and demanded his fealty. Kavon had given it to him, and it had been requested of him that he act as if he had aligned himself with Jinn, in an attempt to draw the would-be Consul out of his secrecy and declare open war against the Kaeth dynasty.

All chaos broke out. Houses no longer mattered. Dark Jedi were chosing which Consul to follow, Braecen or Alaris. The fighting moved to Kapsina, where those loyal to Alaris were attempted to defend him, while those loyal to Braecen were trying to kill Alaris. When the fighting finally broke into the Throne Room at the apex of the Dark Tower on Kapsina, Alaris was already defending himself.

Braecen had arrived back from Antei and was overpowering Jinn. This was until Arion once again stepped into the fight. The battle fell behind the elevated throne and into the office of the Consul of Clan Plagueis. Braecen did not return from that fight. Only Alaris and Arion returned. Alaris declared himself Consul, undisputed, and he appointed Arion as his Proconsul.

Clan Taldryan

In order to access local space, Taldryan traversed the Shroud of Antei. The clan and naval forces were on high alert, with all elders and high ranking Equites serving via a Mind-Meld as means of communication between ships. At a moment’s notice, a Yuuzhan Vong Cruiser Analog emerged from the gaseous vapors of the Shroud and collided with the CSD Justice. The ship’s shields held as the dying warship broke up, more like a wet sponge than a once solid object.

Arriving in orbit around Antei, the clan established a blockade of part of the Southern Hemisphere’s AOR (Area of Responsibility) and transferred all Jedi to be landed in the initial wave. On the ground, Taldryan Dark Jedi along with the men of the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division held the LZ against enemy droids and tanks, taking several casualties but winning praise from the Dark Council. Marching south with the 2/2 Infantry attached, Taldryan assault a heavily defended ridge-top artillery emplacement. Here, several Jedi were encountered and slain along with scores of battle droids and enemy equipment. Operation Carbonite was deemed a success with the capture and sacking of the Artillery which allowed for the opening of local skies to Brotherhood air superiority and the advance of Clan Naga Sadow to their next objective.

Operation Spanner found Taldryan marching to Forward Operating Base Spear to reinforce the Naga Sadow presence there. Arriving just as CNS found itself beset once more by an enemy push, the Taldryan Dark Jedi leapt into the fray without rest from a 30km journey on foot. Together, the two clans and the 2/41st Infantry repulsed the enemy Jedi and attacks several times, but found the enemy to never cease it’s onslaught. It was decided amongst the Consuls that CNS would continue to hold the line while the Taldryan Dark Jedi made for an enemy encampment to deactivate the Droid Control Center. In a show of bravado, the CNS Jedi broke rank and attempted to complete the Taldryan task but found it impossible to keep up with the First Clan. Taldryan made it to the camp and found themselves beset on all sides. Vodo Biask, Bubbles Taldrya, and Sidarace Rathden all found themselves overwhelmed during the attack and captured while attempting to rescue a Clan-mate.

In their final push to defeat the Jedi, Taldryan was ordered to the Du’sann Boundry to retake and hold the Triumvirate Library. At the same time, a rescue party was formed to retrieve the captured Dark Jedi using a Taldryan Assault Shuttle and the 1st Platoon, Bravo Company of the 2/41st Infantry. Enemy resistance at the Library was minimal and the surrounding area was taken quickly. It was decided however by Consul Shadow Taldrya that the risk to his men and that of the soldiers was too great to assault the underground Library and decided to seal the entrance via explosives for a later Dark Council team to take of.

The Taldryan rescue party arrived at the Dark Temple just before the final assault to find Quaestor [[Vodo Biask] and Bubbles Taldrya nearly at each other’s throats over the slaying of AED Sidarace Rathden, whom had been converted by Omancor Crask and asked to kill his former Master as a show of loyalty. The rescue shuttle was shot down in the Adas Plains by a pair of Vulture Droids as it left the Dark Hall’s airspace. As the Dark Hall was taken, Taldryan sent a second rescue party to the crash site and retrieved the injured Dark Jedi there.

Released from their obligations to the Grand Master, Taldryan returned to Kr’Tal swiftly to lick their wounds and recuperate from the non-stop combat.

Clan Tarentum

Tarentum, having sworn loyalty to Darth Sarin to go to Antei, was immediately deployed to the north of Adas, tasked with establishing anti-aircraft batteries as well as securing territory to the northeast in order to set up a Central Command centre and a landing zone, in order to facilitate reinforcements. However, many of Tarentum's leaders' priorities were set elsewhere, toward the destruction of the Jedi and droid army itself. One Jedi in particular, Jorax Tuar, had a history with Tarentum's Consul, Anshar Kahn Tarentae. The two dueled twice during the Battle of Antei, the second duel leading to Anshar's "death" and Tuar's murder by the hands of Proconsul Maxamillian von Oberst.

Clan forces were later sent to the Du'sann Boundary in order to wipe up any remaining enemy resistance, with some members nearly succumbing to the light side. As the Jedi were attempting to convert members of the Brotherhood, Tarenti had to be vigilant in their fighting and consistently worked in groups. One of these groups, which included Consul emeritus Sith Bloodfyre, decided to scout out any corpses - whether of Vong or of Jedi - that could used for the clan's necromantic purposes.

Tarentum's ultimate task was to secure Codei Prison, and a team was sent in to eliminate any guards who could possibly be protecting the building. It was there that the Tarenti encountered Sun Vail, the lost sister of the notorious Dark Jedi Bane. Sun Vail, able to survive the horrors of the prison and the Vong invasion, was now hideously deformed and out of her mind, having made a "deal" with the Jedi to stay out of their way and they would give her Antei once they were done with it. In the end, however, she decided to use a deadly pathogen similar to the Candorian Plague to wipe out both Jedi and Dark Jedi still on Antei by letting the pathogen move through the steam of Mt. Ashfire.

Due to her insanity and her lack of scientific knowledge, Sun Vail forgot one of the most essential parts of creating a pathogen, and therefore her revenge was a failure. Not wishing to succumb to more punishment and torture under the hands of the Brotherhood, she committed suicide by throwing herself into the lava of Mt. Ashfire. The prison, mostly intact, was secured, but throughout the war, Tarentum had suffered multiple casualties and returned to their home system significantly smaller in size. The death of Sarin, ultimately, would tangle up the clan with a strong distrust toward its clan summit.
