Early History

Battle Team Tacitus Athanasius was founded in 34 ABY by Warrior Shadow Nighthunter in House Excidium, Scholae Palatinae. Under Quaestor Lucyeth, Shadow was ordered to destroy the survivors menacing League of Liberation; a league tormenting House Excidium ever since its birth.

First Battleteam Leader, Shadow Nighthunter

Founder

Shadow Nighthunter was both founder and first leader of Tacitus Athanasius. Being an assassin herself, the Sith saw need of a unit that went after those that perhaps the House wasn't able to go after. When a survivor of the League of Liberation had attempted to take out the Quaestor, it was Shadow who thwarted the attempt in time. Thus was Tacitus Athanasius born under the leader ship of Shadow and her sister and former apprentice, Alara Deathbane

Sergeant Alara Deathbane

Location

Tacitus Athanasius is located at Silent Death Citadel, atop the frost covered mountains of Caina.

First Test

Just starting anew under the leadership of Shadow and Alara, the sisters sent their assassins to eliminate three mercs working for the survivor of the LoL. The mercs went under the names of Snake, Crow, and Scorpion; of which was a Twi'lek assassin, a former crime lord of a Zabrak, and a Mandalorian bounty hunter. It was a test for the members of TA to see who would kill the mercs first, and Brandon Tarsus was the one to land the fatal blow. At least, so it was thought. Unknown to Shadow, Scorpion was an old friend of the Palatinean merc, and was allowed to live. Scorpion would later send forth a group of Mandalorian bounty hunters to take out the battle team leader, only to fail.

The Shadows of Tacitus Athanasius

In truth, the battle team is a rumored shadow of Excidium, with only its members and the Quaestor knowing of its existence. Shadow tends to be the Quaestor's eyes and ears in Caina and Ohmen City of Judecca, and will warn the Quaestor of possible threats and targets. Though the team is fully under Shadow's watch, the Quaestor will use the team to take out unusual and extremely dangerous threats to Excidium with the use of a target board. However, under the most dire circumstances, Shadow has the authority to send her assassins to take out the Quaestor or any member of Excidium should enough concrete evidence of betrayal be presented. The battle team leader also has the authority to take over Excidium in extreme cases including the death or abduction of both Quaestor and Aedile. However, to maintain the secrecy of the battle team, Shadow will choose to have a representative speak on her behalf. This doesn't mean she will not enforce order herself should order be broken. This leadership is temporary, and will last until a new House summit is selected.

Joining the Darkness

Possible recruits for TA normally receive sudden messages from the leader herself. These messages give subtle directions regarding the mission, or test, that the person must accomplish. These missions test cunning, stamina, strength, slyness, and the spirit as well as mental strength. Should the initiate survive the mission, a ritual performed by TA members and their leader is provided. The members will each ask a question to the recruit, and should he or she answer truly, they are welcomed to the shadowy embrace of Tacitus Athanasius
