- "Four more and a couple of years ago, an ambitious depraved man set forth with a vision -- a dream, if you will, to create a haven where he might shamelessly lead a house from the other side of the line, that dark place in which a part of all our brains occasionally reside. With this goal in mind, our maker Dark Jedi Master Astronicus "Tron" Aurelius Sadow created Clan Naga Sadow, and gave birth to the rabid wolverine we all call home; House Ludo Kressh."
- ―Sith Warrior CrimsonAngel
Brief History
Within five thousand years after his death, Naga Sadow's only living descendant, Astronicus “Tron” Aurelius Sadow, brought back the glory of Naga Sadow by making a House within the Brotherhood of the Dark Jedi.
House Naga Sadow was made up of those whom the Brotherhood would deem as "Rogue Jedi." These rogues had been long in looking for a house that could suit their needs as well as show them the way of the Dark Side. A continuous call to Rogue Jedi went on, showing that House Naga Sadow was a safe haven and a home away from home - providing for those in need. An individual named Lee Tingnot Eagelye answered this call.
Warrior Eagleye, intrigued by the call, traveled to the Phare System and met with the Summit of House Naga Sadow. Eagleye was impressed with what he heard and agreed to join the young house. Being the leader of the followers of former Sith Lord Ludo Kressh, Eagleye brought with him a large band of Dark Jedi called the Iron Fist. The Iron Fist was named after the way that Ludo Kressh ruled the Sith, with Eagleye as Sergeant they become the brigade of House Naga Sadow.
After a short time House Naga Sadow was to become a clan. Eagleye was once again called before the Summit and was offered the honor of leading one of the three houses of Clan Naga Sadow. He accepted and created House Ludo Kressh, bringing with him the followers of the former Dark Lord of the Sith.
For years House Ludo Kressh was the home of the Sith of Naga Sadow. The most overt and violent of all of the Dark Jedi orders, the Sith are known for warring with anyone, even other Sith. Killing for little and attempting to rise in prominence through conflict and all-out warfare, the members of House Ludo Kressh were the true Warlords of Clan Naga Sadow.
Over time the Brotherhood changed and Ludo Kressh changed with it. No longer consisting of just Sith, the house became more balanced and less blood thirsty, until a few Sith from the old days returned and brought with them the traditions of generations past.
The three orders that made up Ludo Kressh quickly formed together and prepared for war.
Government and Politics
House Ludo Kressh follows the Clan Naga Sadow procedure of primarily operating in secret. It is led by the Quaestor, whom takes care of
most of the day-to-day work.
The Quaestor is aided by his deputy, the Aedile. The House is split into three Battleteams. These are each led by a Battleteam Leader and consist of 12 members each. Together they make up the House Summit in service to the Consul and the Proconsul.
Upon arriving in the Orian System, the Dlarit Corporation established relationships with the populations of all inhabited planets. The Corporation successfully met with an agreement and took over the government of the system. Unbeknownst to the locals, members of Clan Naga Sadow were given positions in the Government. On the planet Aeotheran, the Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh is the Governor and the Aedile serves as Lieutenant Governor.
Overlord of Kressh
The House Overlord is used to recognize the patriarch of each House in Clan Naga Sadow. The position is held by the senior ranking active Son of Sadow in each house. The Overlord is a symbolic leader who inspires and educates the younger members of the house.
The reigning Overlord of Kressh is currently Xanos Sadow, known as Darth Vexatus.
Military
House Ludo Kressh relies heavily on its Battleteams to defend and protect the House. However, as the House itself has no more than 50 Dark Jedi and their apprentices, the rest of their military and security assets are owned and controlled by the Dlarit Corporation into the Orian branch of its security forces.
No matter how many things change in House Ludo Kressh, one thing always stays the same; Sapphire Squadron. Sapphire is given the high priority missions that failure is not an option.
Named after the original Krath phyle of House Naga Sadow, this team is also highly regarded and is more known for its stealth than the brashness of Sapphire.
A new team to House Ludo Kressh, the Paladins are gaining notoriety for their skill and willingness to train to excel.
Astrography
House Ludo Kressh presently is located in the Orian system although it originated in the Phare System. A former homeworld of the Sith Lord Urias Orian, Orian has seven primary worlds with House Ludo Kressh controlling one.
Aeotheran
Aeotheran is the perfect distance from Orian Major to sustain life and is completely covered in jungle. House Ludo Kressh has established its main base of operations on Aeotheran, the mining city of Seng Karash together with the Marakith Skyhook which together have a combined population of around 200,000.
The Dentavii Belt
Dentavii Prime was once the sixth planet in the Orian system. Today it is an asteroid field, torn apart by the twisted alchemy and dark powers of the system's former ruler, Urias Orian.
Upon arriving in the Orian System, House Ludo Kressh took Dentavii Prime as their home base. After a short stay, the House moved to Aeotheran the former homeworld of the extinct House Primus Goluud. The Dlarit Navy has established a small covert base of operations in the former home of House Ludo Kressh to act as a refueling depot and a staging post for attacks.
Ullyr
Ullyr is one of three inhabitable worlds in the Phare System singled out for primary colonization by the Empire during its discovery. Ullyr's vast expanses of primeval forests and abundant wildlife prompted Ludo Kressh’s founder Eagleye to establish their home base, Kressh Fortress.
House Ludo Kressh called Ullyr home for years until the Sons of Sadow responded to the command of the Dark Lord of the Sith and commenced an immediate evacuation of the Phare System.
Typical House Actions/Reactions
As the long time Sith Arm of Clan Naga Sadow, they remain the most overt and violent of all of the Clan. The members of Ludo Kressh are known for warring with anyone, even other members of Ludo Kressh.
When the House is not engaged in war, they take full advantage of their down time and throw the parties that create legends.
Allies and Enemies
Allies
House Ludo Kressh’s allegiances lie within the Clan. While no official alliance has been declared, should the Clan call upon Ludo Kressh to defend Marka Ragnos, they would rise to the occasion. Clan Naga Sadow is deeply protective of its own, where one is threatened the Clan as a whole will take offense. However, the House’s do feud and the competitive nature between them puts House Marka Ragnos close to a Rival as well.
Enemies
The True Brotherhood is a faction of Dark Jedi who opposes the Dark Brotherhood and have had numerous conflicts with Clan Naga Sadow. While an enemy to the entire clan, House Ludo Kressh overly despises the group due to its attacks on Seng Karash and the kidnapping of one of their own.
Although the House of Clan Taldryan is currently closed, the long time rivalry between Ludo Kressh and Archanis still lives among the veterans of the house. The two Sith houses battled for years and a milestone in Ludo Kressh’s history to this day is their defeat of House Archanis. If the day comes when Archanis is once again open, Ludo Kressh will be ready.
