Current Storyline
The current storyline picks up in the aftermath of the Seventeenth Great Jedi War, which saw Brotherhood forces face off against The Collective in their final redoubt, the Cor'neria System. This conflict incurred heavy losses throughout the Brotherhood's forces; in turn, however, it crippled the Collective, with the Liberation Front and Technocratic Guild dismantled, and Capital Enterprises subsumed by Arx Capital Exchange.
The Spaces Between
In the aftermath of the Cor'nerian Conflict, the Brotherhood has settled, taking the opportunity to salve its hurts, address conflicts within its borders, and mourn their losses. Questions remain, but in this brief interlude, everyone breathes a collective sigh of relief.
Previous Storyline: Fictional Recap
Following the destruction of the Strategic Tactical AI Resource (S.T.A.R.) and the artificial intelligence's final broadcast during the events of Parabellum, the Brotherhood ascertained the location of Rath Oligard's anti-Force organization: The Collective. Darth Renatus, freshly appointed as Grand Master of the Brotherhood after his predecessor took a dairy-inspired leave, chose to pursue the Collective to the end.
Fielding the largest fleet in relative history, they prepared for the assault.
Ahead of the conflict, the Fist of the Brotherhood, Uji Tameike, was plagued with visions of failure, deaths, and a point of no return. For weeks leading up to the assault, he planned, detailing the routes most likely to see those closest to him survive the endeavor.
As the Iron Forces fleet reached Cor'neria, they engaged Collective Forces under the command of Varryn Antillus, the Chancellor of Capital Enterprises. Through a series of delay tactics and sacrificial assaults, the Collective forced the Iron Forces into an untenable position. While early assault forces had broken their blockade and made landfall, establishing air dominance over Nei'kapo, every additional inch was gained in blood, and the battle for deep space was far from over. Losses mounted and Collective forces turned their focus on the flagship of the Iron Navy, The Legacy. The Fist, alongside his crew, realized the gravity of the situation and chose sacrifice, opening a path for The Legacy and the remaining fleet to break the Collective line.
As both fleets were weakened, a third arrived.
Long straining under different ideals, the Collective had fractured. A fleet withheld from the initial conflict emerged from the shadow of Nei'kapo and opened fire on both Varryn and the Brotherhood's fleets. Control over Nei'kapo and its moons was contested within moments. In disarray following the death of the Fist and their central point of communication, the Brotherhood's Iron Navy scrambled until Lena Rhell took charge of communications from aboard The Legacy and restored order to the Grand Master, in the Fist's absence. As order was restored, the Fleets of the Clans arrived, spearheaded by Clans Arcona, Odan-Urr, and Taldryan.
Dacien Victae, meanwhile, landed his vessel, the Astraeus, in the middle of the Nei'joule battlefront and met Rath Oligard at the latter's manor. Their duel was brought to an end when Dacien disarmed the Oligard, only to discover his plan to detonate Cor'neria's sun. During his cousin's monologue, Avitus Oligard shot Rath in the back before collapsing himself.

The Society offers various awards and incentives and is headed by the Voice of the Brotherhood.
Shroud Syndicate
The Shroud Syndicate is the premiere criminal organization operating in Brotherhood space. It involves many smaller gangs, crews, and criminal combines within its area of operation, it is lead by the Herald, and operates from the Shroud Nebula where their massive ship, the Godless Matron, makes berth. The organization is involved in almost every major black market deal that happens in Brotherhood space.
Allied Factions
The Severian Principate
The Severian Principate is a rare Imperial Warlord state which not only endured but thrived following the Empire’s collapse. Originally a network of mining worlds and orbital facilities in the Kastolar Sector, it existed to fuel the Empire’s war machine. This changed with the governorship of Lucian Niatinus, a commander disillusioned with the Emperor’s self-destructive policies. Devoted to improving the lives of his citizens and secretly allying with the smugglers and pirates from the nearby Hutt Space, he sought to create an ordered state free of the tyranny which inspired the Rebellion.
It has largely grown beyond that initial vision, seeking to focus on peace and alliances to bring prosperity to its 16 different star systems.
Neutral Factions
The Tenixir Revenants
The Tenixir Revenants is a conglomerate of criminal organizations. Comprised largely of former prisoners held by the Severian Principate on the planet of Tenixir they have a deep hatred of the Imperial group. They are distrustful of all, but willing to work for the credits. Their allegiance is only to themselves. They take some great deal of persuasion to work with the Brotherhood based on its close alignment with the Severian Principate.
Enemy Factions
The Collective
The Collective was a powerful organization led by the zealous Rath Oligard. Their unified purpose was to rid the galaxy of Force users. They were responsible for a multitude of conflicts, deaths, and losses, including a violent assault on the Brotherhood’s seat of power, Arx. In 44ABY they were driven back to the Cor'neria System and defeated; the forces they had spent years rebuilding and preparing for the next phase of their crusade against the Brotherhood were either destroyed or repurposed.
The Children of Mortis
The Children of Mortis is a powerful organization led by a mythical individual known as The Father, who has led them for millennia. Their unified purpose is to break the chains binding the Force, allowing the Father to ascend as the Force itself and control the universe. They have assaulted the Brotherhood and all seven clans in the past, and were pushed back from the Ethereal realm in 41 ABY. Their current whereabouts is unknown.
