| | The '''Summit Guard of Arcona''', commonly known as the '''Summit Commandos''', is a special, all-clone unit charged with the protection of the Clan Arcona Summit, ranging from the two Aediles all the way up to the Lord Consul. Originally formed in the dawn of 30 ABY, the Summit Guard was comprised of the best men and women of the Arcona Armed Forces. However, in 34 ABY, the Guard was reorganized into an all-clone unit and separated from the rest of the Arcona Military. Currently led by ARC Captain Bly, the Summit Guard stands ready to serve, protect, and die, for their Summit. |
| | |
| | == Organization History == |
| | === Creation === |
| | The Guard was born in 30 ABY, as a way to help protect the leaders of Arcona from the dangers of the upcoming [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] as well as threats from within the Clan itself. The first draft of Guardsmen considerably drained the others branches of the Arconan Armed Forces (the [[Dajorra Defense Force]] and [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]]), as the Summit would only accept the most loyal and highly trained soldiers as their guardians and special operators. |
| | |
| | However, due to the event known as the '''Black Tempest''' wiping out a considerable chunk of the Guard's officer corps, greener soldiers were selected from the ranks of the Service and pressed into duty before they had taken their oaths and without any real combat experience. With their newest protectors ready to serve, the Summit of Arcona reviewed possible leaders and decided that none would fit the role better than [[Talos Omerta]], who was made Captain of the Guard. The men and women of the Summit Guard originally served Captain Omerta as lieutenants within the 6th Heavy Infantry Brigade, dubbed the Blades. |

| | === Training === |
| | Similar to the clones of the [[starwars:Grand_Army_of_the_Republic|Grand Army of the Republic]], the clones of the Summit Guard are subjected to growth and mind-enhancing genetic modification, so that they can learn combat skills more rapidly and be ready to serve House Arcona faster than that of their "organic" counterparts. When it comes to specific training, the KKE Project utilizes flash training to quickly instruct clones in military discipline, chain of command, and the like. |
| | |
| | However, for combat training, the clones are trained by the Mandalorian supercommandos of the Erinos Clan. This training, much like that of the ''Cuy'val Dar'', is responsible for the strong Mandalorian background present in the Summit Guard. Training includes small-unit tactics, VIP protection, insertion/extraction, advanced weapons training (both ranged and melee), field medical training, and interrogation techniques. |
| | |
| | The Summit Commandos are also given instruction in another type of combat training, one that echoes the somber tone of Order 66. |

| | {{Quote|Are you sure this is a good idea? You do remember '''Order 66''' don't you?|Talos Omerta to Sashar Arconae, 34 ABY}} |
| | |
| | In the name of protecting the Consul and Proconsul, the clones of the Summit Guard are trained how to combat and kill Force-Sensitives. Taught by [[Sashar Arconae|Sashar Erinos Arconae]] himself, training begins with mental conditioning that, if done properly, will result in a Summit Commando being able to have a moderate defense against the mental attacks of Force adepts, such as mind tricks. |
| | |
| | Training of a more physical nature follows the mental conditioning, such as master-level bladework and precision shooting. Under the Soulfire Sergeant's tough training regimen, Commandos are able to go toe-to-toe with a Dark Jedi of the lower Equite class in melee combat while easily defeating those of the Journeymen class. Precision shooting training mixed with advanced flash-training has also given the Summit Commandos a lightning-fast reaction time when it comes to drawing their blaster, aiming, and firing. |
| | |
| | It is due to the fact that most Dark Jedi think blasters below them that this training comes into such effect; 80% of the time, a Summit Commando can gun down a less powerful Dark Jedi before the latter can even decide on the right Force technique with which to attack with. |
| | |
| | However, it is to be noted that while the prowess of the Summit Guards is considerable, they will most likely be defeated in a prolonged engagement with an Equite Two or Three and will most definitely be slain if going up against an Equite Four or anyone of the Elder class. |
| | |
| | === Ranks === |
| | While the Summit Guard of the Arcona is completely separate from the rest of the Arcona Military Corps, the clones still utilize a military-esque rank structure, though modified in some areas. Most notably, there are no ranks above that of "Captain" and nothing below "Lance Corporal". |

| The '''Summit Guard of Arcona''', also known as the '''Consul's Guard''', was formed in the dawn of 30 ABY by Talos d'Tana in an effort to help protect his Summit, both House and Clan. Vanishing for close to a month, he scoured tomes and books, and viewed different holo-vids of combat training. Finally, he returned to Arcona with the proposal for the Summit Guard, which he presented to [[Consul]] [[Sashar Arconae]] and [[Proconsul]] [[Vorion]]. Later that day, after convening with the Clan's entire Summit, the proposal was approved and the Summit Guard was put into immediate action.

| === Creation ===
| |
| The Guard was birthed in 30 ABY, as a way to help protect the leaders of Arcona from the dangers of the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] and even threats from within the Clan itself. The first draft of Guardsmen considerably drained the others branches of the Arconan Armed Forces (the [[Dajorra Defence Force]] and [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]]), as the Summit would only accept the most loyal and highly trained soldiers, for they needed to be pressed into immediate service. However, due to the event known as the '''Black Tempest''', newer soldiers were selected from the ranks of the service and pressed into duty before they had taken their oaths and without any real combat experience. With their newest protectors ready to serve, the Summit of Arcona reviewed possible leaders and decided that none would fit the role better than [[Talos Vyranius d'Tana|Talos d'Tana]], who was made Captain of the Guard.

|
| |
|
| === The Black Tempest ===
| | ''' Captain (CO-5) ''' |
| The first real trial of the Summit Guard was shortly after their creation, in an event that has become known as '''Black Tempest'''. The situation began with the gruesome murder of the Tendd Limmer, a Scion Guard to [[Proconsul]] [[Vorion]]. Talos was immediately summoned to the scene of the crime, where he examined the horrific scene. Declaring that the murder of Limmer was actually a failed plot against [[Vorion]]'s life, the Captain took his friend into protective custody and escorted him to the [[ISDII Eye of the Abyss II]].

| | == Summit Guard Units == |
| | The Summit Guard is split into three (3) unique divisions, two commando units and one reserve unit. The commando units are tasked with the protection of the Lord Consul, the Honorable Proconsul, and the House Summits, while the reserve unit is assigned to guard the Citadel and other key installations. Following the "Mandalorian" ethos of the Guard, each of the units are named in Mando'a. |
|
| |
|
| == The Guard Itself ==
| | === Commando Unit Solus === |
| === To Protect Our Leaders === | | Command Unit Solus is the premier unit of the Summit Guard, tasked with the protection of the High Summit, which consists of the Lord Consul and the Honorable Proconsul. Literally meaning "one" in Mando'a, the commandos of Solus are the more experienced clones of the KKE Project and are hand-picked by both the Consul and the Guard Captain, Bly, who personally leads the contingent. Oftentimes, CU ''Solus'' works closely with the elite [[Soulfire Strike Team]]. |
| The new organization known as the Summit Guard is the most elite branch of the Arconan Armed Forces, next to that of its actual Dark Jedi Commanders. Only members that have displayed unyielding loyalty and devotion to the Shadow Clan are allowed to don the armor of the Guard and call themselves a Guardian of the Summit. Trained for nearly ten hours a day, in everything from ranged combat to melee, these armored warriors are indoctrinated in the ways of Arcona, being fiercely loyal to those they are sworn to protect.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Lead By Someone Who Has Crossed ===
| | As mentioned above, ''solus'' is the Mandalorian word for "one", and therefore each Commando of Solus has a large '1' graphic painted on their armor's left pauldron. |
| When Talos was first approached to be the Captain, he was incredulous at best. Why give the position to someone who has betrayed the Clan? It was simple in the end, the Summit needed someone who had crossed over so as to better keep others from making the same mistake that he had.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Selection and Distribution === | | === Commando Unit T'ad === |
| To join the Summit Guard to a higher honor...to make it past their intense training regimen is an even greater feat. As listed above, most of the current Guards are seasoned combat veterans and an assortment of fresh blood. This is due to the time of flux in which the Guard was formed, and the Summit needing their Guards. In order of hierarchy, the best of the best are assigned to the Shade Warrior Detachment and the Scion Detachment, while the other, less experienced, are given to the House Summits.
| | The second Command Unit of the Guard, ''T'ad'', literally meaning "two" in Mando'a, is the unit of KKE clones that protect the House Summits. As the number "two" might indicate, the clones of T'ad are generally younger and less experienced compared to those of CU ''Solus'', but still extremely professional and lethal and totally dedicated to their mandate of protecting the House Summits. Furthermore, CU ''T'ad'' is considerably larger in number than CU ''Solus'', as their number of protectees is double that of the first unit. |
|
| |
|
| The Selection is a tough process, designed to weed out the weak and the unworthy of this honor. It lasts a total of thirteen weeks (though the last five weeks are apprenticeship Guard duties, where the recruit is paired with an active Guard and the recruit shadows their superior and takes notes as well as helping protect that Summit Member. However, due to the turbulence of '''Black Tempest''' and the rapidly approaching '''Unification War''', the training time may be cut short as will the shadowing times.
| | Finally, the KKE clones of Commando Unit T'ad can be identified by the large silvery '2' graphic that is painted on their armor's left pauldron. |
|
| |
|
| == Detachments == | | === Reserve Unit Ara'nov === |
| The Summit Guard is split into four detachments, or divisions; the Galeres Detachment, the Qel-Droma Detachment, the Scion Detachment, and the Shade Warrior Detachment. More details are provided below: | | The unit of Commandos responsible for guarding the Citadel as well as other installations deemed critical by the Summit. ''Ara'nov'' Commandos receive special training in defensive tactics and are often the clones who do the most interaction with standard military units, such as the Army's specialized "Central Assault and Defence" unit, who guard the Army's areas in the Citadel and compliment the Summit Guard in whatever other protection duties they pass on. |
|
| |
|
| === Shade Warrior Detachment === | | == Equipment == |
| The Shade Warrior Detachment is the most elite section of the Summit Guard, as they are charged with the protection of [[Consul|Shade Warrior]] [[Sashar Arconae]]. They consist of the most grizzled combat veterans and are hand picked by Sashar himself. They wield upgraded E-19 Carbines, DC-15A Rifles, and Trandoshan Longswords. The Shade Warrior Detachment is one of two divisions that wear black armor, with the Arconan Symbol on the right pauldron and the personal symbol of Sashar on the left.
| | === Armor === |
|
| |
|
| === Scion Detachment === | | === Weaponry === |
| Nearly as elite as the Shade Warriors, the Scion Detachment are also handpicked by the Proconsul of the Clan, also known as the Shadow Scion. The wield the same kit as the Warriors and wear black armor with the Arconan symbol on the right pauldron and the personal crest of Vorion on the left. This is the second and final group that is authorized to wear the more advanced black armor.
| | As the elite protectors of the Summit, the Commandos are trained in a number of weaponry, ranging from standard blaster rifles and blades to unorthodox weapons such as the [[starwars:Force_staff|Force Staff]]. While the armory of the Guard is impressive, a few select weapons have been described below, as these are the weapons most commonly carried by Guardsmen. |
|
| |
|
| === Qel-Droma Detachment === | | ==== E-19b Carbine ==== |
| The first of two generic divisions, the Qel-Droma Guards are sworn to the current [[Quaestor]] and [[Aedile]] of the House. They are issued standard E-19 carbines and vibro-swords, leaving out the DC-15As and the more powerful Trandoshan Longswords. Their armor is a dark red color, as purple was decided to be to comical for their purpose. The symbols of Arcona and Qel-Droma can be found on the right and left shoulder pauldrons respectively. | | The E-19 Carbine is the 'great-grandson' of the iconic E-11. More accurate and far more powerful, these weapons are state-of-the-art, not to mention the Summit Guard's numerous upgrades. Boasting a matte black finish, a 3x scope, and a tibanna gas cartridge that significantly increases the power of its blaster bolts, the E-19 is an extremely lethal weapon. |
| | [[File:E-19Carb.jpg|thumb|185px|right|E-19b Carbine Rifle, modified ranged weapon of the Guard]] |
|
| |
|
| === Galeres Detachment === | | ==== SSK-7c Heavy Blaster Pistol ==== |
| The second of two generic divisions, the Guards of Galeres are sworn to the current [[Quaestor]] and [[Aedile]] of the House. They are issued standard E-19 carbines and vibro-swords, leaving out the DC-15As and the more effective Trandoshan Longswords. Their armor is a dark blue color, as the color represented the [[Obelisk]] origin of the House. The symbols of Arcona and Galeres can be found on the right and left shoulder pauldrons respectively. | | The trademark blaster pistol of the Arcona military, the SSK-7c is a durable and reliable pistol. Issued to the Commandos due to its stopping power and versatility, the SSK-7c boasts a few upgrades over their "stock variants", including a tibanna gas catridge that increases the stopping power of its blaster bolts, as well as an attachable sound and flash suppressor. All Guard pistols are painted with a non-reflective coat of matte black paint. |
|
| |
|
| == Equipment == | | ==== Vibroweapons ==== |
| === Armor === | | Like many other military units throughout the galaxy, the Summit Guard employs the use of vibroweapons, specifically vibroknucklers, daggers, and swords. Each of these weapons are sharpened to a keen edge by Guard armorsmiths and contain a Superior-class vibrogenerator in the hilt. While each Commando is given training in the standard "trio" of weapons (knuckler, dagger, and sword), the clone may request additional training in another type of vibroweapon. For example, the Summit Commando KKE-019 "Heat" has been trained to dual-wield vibroswords. |
