History
Tribe
Before they became known as the Cobalt Horde and the mysterious disappearance of 33 ABY, The Clan went under a different name. Clan Ula'xin was a primitive culture that resided in three different seculeded villages across New Tyhon. There, Clan Ula'xin hunted daily for their needs. The Clan (compromised of three distinct tribes) were instinctive survivors, all of them knew how to hunt using bows, spears and whichever weapons that resembled swords they could find or scavenge. The tribe made their own medicines from herbs, created their own tools, and hunted animals for their meat. Also, the Clan bore an extremely high number of Sonants with the ability to contol beasts in their ranks. This led to giving the Harakoans of the tribe the ability to use mounts as they hunted, or have another natural predator alongside them also to assist in hunting. The Clan also used the hides of animals to build the massive huts that they lived in along the banks of rivers from which they gathered water. The Clan lasted for a century at least before the events of 33 ABY.
The Mountain Tribe
The Mountain Tribe were a group of many Harakoans living among the mountains in the southern region of Kamuekiko. The natives of this Tribe were made tough through the long winters of New Tython, and a constant cold climate. Animals were relatively scarce here, so the Harakoans often went into other regions to hunt for food and supplies to bring back to the Tribe. Oftentimes, it would take weeks for a Harakoan hunting party to return with enough food for their families in the village. Housing for these individuals ranged from the strong bamboo and leather huts to simple cloth tents. Hunting strategies often employed leading animals into ambushes, where it was not uncommon for the Harakoans to roll large ice blocks onto unsuspecting prey.
The Desert Tribe
The Desert Tribe was settled into the dry Honunom Desert on the northern region of Kamuekiko. These Harakoans were adaptable, as while the desets were dry, the temperatures varied greatly over the course of a day. Most of the animals that were found by this Tribe were often not used for food, but rather to carry supplies over long distances, as the Tribe moved often. Because of this, huts were normally made of light materials such as cloth and very portable, often only taking two hours to set up. However, water was scarce, so the Harakoans assigned water carrying duties to the younger individuals.
The Jungle Tribe
The Jungle Tribe made up the largest portion of Clan Ula'xin. Nestled in the lush green forests of Kamuekiko, these Harakoans were not as sturdy as their Mountain kin, but they employed greater hunting strategies than the other Tribes. Animals would often accompany these individuals during their hunting expeditions. The Jungle Tribe used various tactics, including using camoflage while perched in the trees for a ambush. Huts were constructed more pernamently than their other folk. Often a hut would use large, ancient trees as supports and had enough room to house the entire Mountain Tribe.
Cobalt Horde
In 33 ABY shortly following the annexation of New Tython to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood a village in the remote jungles of Kammeukik suddenly vanished. Surrounding village tribes wrought about a massive search effort in the following days but only turned up a few dead bodies and an incinerated village. The disappearances bore the hallmarks of a grisly slavers raid. The chagrin of the tribes amounted to grief as their tribal cousins were deemed forever lost and the search parties were called off. Loud and sorrowful swooning and whooping sounds filled the air for days on end as the Harakoans sang a song of mourning from their nasal crests.
Training
Following their capture the Kammeukikans were subjugated to rigorous mind control techniques under the hands of their captors. Each individual Harakoan was slowly broken down over a six month period of isolation and subjected to immense sorcery breaking down that individual’s identity and sense of self. Their minds were bent to the point that during this process many of the tribal people’s minds broke and were thoroughly deemed useless. They were disposed of. THose who did survive were made absolutely loyal to the will of the Iron Throne.
Upon completion of the mind-wipe process the Kammeukikans that survived entered phase two of their training regimen. Under the direct tutelage under the Grandmaster Muz Ashen the Kammeukikans augmented their traditional fighting styles with a combination of various degrees of martial arts doctrines available. This imprinting coincided with peak physical training supplemented with the aid of Krath sorcery and Sith alchemy.
The Harakoans trained in constantly changing squads until each unit attained a perfect balance of unit cohesion through squad warfare tactics. The units utilized advanced weapons training building off of their traditional weapons backgrounds from the jungles of Harakoa. Energy bows were supplied to the marksmen of the squads to replace traditional wooden bow and arrows. Vibroblades replaced sharp wooden stone-tipped clubs, and Grenadiers were supplied with various types of grenades.
The primary focus of their training however was dominated by the intricate art of Beast Control. By nature Harakoans display amazing talent towards Sonance. Building upon this Grandmaster Ashen amplified their abilities for Beast Control and supplied them with a wide array of exotic and highly dangerous animals from their home world. Some squads utilized one massive beast together, while other squads had individual animals with specialized abilities

- Biography:
Commander Vilim was born in 10 ABY in Kor Vella, Corellia. Her father was the famous Corellian Security Force pilot, Major Cayden Vilim. During her adolescent years, she would find herself spending most of her time at the library in Kor Vella reading about glorious battles of Corellia’s past, battle strategies, and outcomes of these battles. She yearned to be like her father in every way, even to the point where she wanted to join some sort of military organization. She could not join CorSec because it was dissolved in 7 ABY. Many believe in her strong connections with her father because her mother died giving birth to Bhreagh. However, Vilim’s father kept record of her mother’s doings and regularly shared them with Bhreagh. Her dreams would soon be realized when she was accepted, at the age of 17, to study and train at the New Republic Fleet Academy on Coruscant. She flew through the four year Officer Candidate’s classes in just two years, graduating the top of her class. At the age of nineteen, Bhreagh was appointed as second officer under Admiral Luth Dorma on the Vigilant. Lieutenant Vilim stayed with Admiral Dorma throughout most of the Yuuzhan Vong War.
Their relationship, however, would come to an end when the ship was attacked and breached by a Vong vessel where Dorma and the First Officer where executed by the Yuuzhan Vong Commander. Bhreagh took a garrison of troopers to the bridge in hopes to save the Admiral, but, it was too late. The Yuzhaan Vong had come and gone believing that all on the ship had been killed. Lieutenant Vilim became acting Captain of the Vigilant, guiding it back to the ship yards on Coruscant. She was awarded a commendation and promoted to Lieutenant Commander, all before her twenty-first birthday. Her new appointment was on the Wookiee planet of Kashyyyk. She was sent there to train an elite unit of Wookiee commandos to defend Kashyyyk from the Yuzhaan Vong threat. Through the completion of writing and creating an intense and rigorous training course, Bhreagh was promoted to the rank of Commander.
The New Republic also wanted to test to see if this training course could work with their own, so, they sent a company of Republic troopers to Kashyyyk to complete this course. Sergeant Daxar “Tripp” Terrek was one of these troopers. The company become one of the most elite companies the New Republic had ever seen. They were all trained in advanced hand-to-hand combat, as well as, trained in using wookiee weapons such as the Ryyk blade. In 32 ABY, The Army of the Iron Throne started hearing about this company of Kashyyyk and their training routine. They wanted it; they wanted to use it. The Army of the Iron Throne sent a dispatch to Kashyyyk to talk with Commander Vilim. They did not get questioned by the Republic at this time considering Kashyyyk was not a notable planet of purpose in the New Republic as of yet, therefore, the Republic presence on the planet was limited to this company. The dispatch shared with Commander Vilim of the benefits of joining the Army of the Iron Throne. Bhreagh became very interested. She would need to come, alone, to join the Army of the Iron Throne. The dispatch, however, said that she was allowed to bring one executive company field commander. She chose Sergeant Terrek. Bhreagh is now the Commander of Cobalt Platoon, along with Sergeant Terrek.
