History

Origins

The failed conquest of the Federation of the Double Worlds left the planets of the Corellian system in near collapse. The worlds of Selonia and Drall allied with Corellia in an attempt to conquer the double worlds of Talus and Tralus.

Ten years prior a Jedi by the name of Karinn Detroma and her two apprentices Agart and Kriss Kiltho were dispatched to Corellia. Their mission was to oversee negotiations between the five worlds. During a high profile meet between the five political leaders explosions rocked the capital. A major offensive was set off as armed mercenaries stormed the capital buildings. Armed Corellian soldiers took to the streets and massive firefights broke out throughout the city. Sporadic skirmishes erupted turning peaceful bustling streets into desolate wastes of urban warfare.

The Corellia system circa 500 BBY

The Jedi Ambassadors while escorting two officials from Talus and Tralus were ambushed and overwhelmed in the ensuing chaos around them. While attempting to save their lives Master Detroma was seemingly shot down and cornered along with Agart Kiltho. In the midst of combat, while protecting the political officials, Kriss Kiltho abandoned them leaving them to the assassination orders of the mercenary group. Expecting Kriss to counter-attack the mercenaries that captured them, Master Detroma and Agart Kiltho surrendered themselves to fates unknown.

New Leadership

Cyris Oscura

As a renegade Kriss Kiltho quickly adopted a new name and appearance when his traitorous ways were made public and he was disbanded from the Jedi roll in Coruscant. Eventually Kriss, now named Cyris Oscura fell in with the same mercenary group he’d fled from dubbed The Black Brigade.

The Black Brigade was a paramilitary unit consisting of around one thousand troops. Their expertise was a wide range of abilities including Pirating, smuggling, although they were chiefly soldiers for hire. The Black Brigade was founded thirty years prior by Gaius Verone a human from Corellia. His syndicate of thieves and smugglers eventually needed a strong arm of protection from which evolved the violent heritage of the group.

Over the years Cyris Oscura committed himself to his new identity in the seedy underworld of crime. A loyal and smart member, he gained recognition for his bloody deeds and developed a sinister reputation. His reputation went unchecked and he used his new found dark powers to influence and subjugate his new allies into his bitter soldiers.

Cyris Oscura reached the top of the Black Brigade hierarchy and dubbed himself ‘The Black Hand’; a role that would put him at the pinnacle of power over the units beneath him. Power hungry, The Black Hand then led a conquest on the world of Velrahn II subjugating the volcanic planets colonies to the will of the Black Brigade who by this point had grown so large they were anything but a brigade.

The Black Army

With a world all to their own The Black Army established a stronghold: Ashvroth, an ancient castle near the foothills of Mount Igneo. The Black Brigade, with its stranglehold on Velrahn II complete quickly swelled into an army as its soldiers interbred with the colonists over the years. Eventually the entire military unit was re-dubbed The Black Army. Overpopulation inflated the needs of its citizens. The Black Hand began his offensive of the nearest worlds to Velrahn II in a bid for conquest; sowing the seeds of an Empire.

The Republic responded in full force to quell the invaders who had slowly been bleeding the sector.

The Ruins of Ashvroth

The Black Army made outrageous gains on several worlds although these new acquisition were held only briefly. In the face of the Republic forces the Black Army quickly lost their gains. The Black Hand Cyris Oscura issued a retreat to fortify on Ashvroth.

All regiments returned to the planet only to be met by stark counter-defense by Republic forces. Ground troops stormed the volcanic slopes of Velrahn II laying waste to the city. The citizens had evacuated in waves accompanied by Army escorts. The Republic Jedi landed on the planet to assist in the assault on Ashvroth. After massive bombings crippled the enormous walls of the fortress, the stronghold fell. It was at this point the Black Hand emerged from the ruins. Agart Kilroth now a Jedi Master met his dark adversary on the slopes of Mount Igneo where a great lightsaber duel erupted whereupon the masters broke open the earth beneath them , falling into the catacombs of Ashvroth below.

The Black Hand proved the inferior duelist and his life was held in limbo. Upon discovery of his fraternal connection to his opponent, Agart called upon a strange force technique plunging the Black Hand into a darker fate. With little time to waste Agart Kilroth wandered with his brothers body deeper into the labrynth. He found a desolate location and deposited the body, sealing him away in hopes that when he awoke his dark taint would be no more. Meanwhile the combined remnant of the Black Army fled into deep space.

New Beginnings

On some planet near Nythaspir, the Black Army shed it’s desire to form an empire and returned to their mercenary history. The old ways had returned. For about five generations these family units maintained their grisly heritage as soldiers for hire and also returning to their original namesake, the Black Brigade. With burgeoning numbers the nomadic Black Brigade clans converged on a lunar colony in the outer rim.

The Moon Karinon

The Colony was situated on a lush moon the began to call Karinon orbiting an orange and white gas giant. The inhabitants were a small faction of Republic Reformists. Their security forces quickly overwhelmed and the local populations fled into the woods. The cities inhabitants were quickly supplanted with Black Brigade clans.

Little less than a month after the colonists were pushed out of the city hordes of strange warriors rained down from the skies over the moon. The warriors were equal in number to the Black Brigades 40,000 roster. Great losses on both sides forced the two warrior entities to issue a truce. This truce became more of a declaration of mutual respect between the two communities. The warriors identified themselves as the last remnant of Clan Ordo. Their home-world of Ordo had been experiencing climate fluctuations turning their desert world into a lush tropical jungle before plunging the landscape back into an arid desert. They had located the lunar colony expecting little resistance, unaware of the Black Brigades invasion.

Clan Ordo

Black Hand Trooper of Clan Ordo

Eventually the two groups melded into one single unit. The Black Brigade had disappeared by this time. The generations following the war had long inter-bred into one people, the Mandalorians of Clan Ordo. All that remained of this Black Brigade was their historic past recorded in their holo-books, stories and rituals. More importantly preserved was their name and emblem: An iconic handprint emblazoned onto the foreheads of their helmets.
