[i]Birth of the Black Hand of Mandalore[/i][/center]

The Black Hand met with the GRM for a general discussion. During the meeting the Black Hand was offered a moon orbiting Taris. They would be granted the rights to the planet and its resources as well as the defense of the system fleets, and all that was asked of them was they fight alongside the GRM in times of need.. The Black Hand rejected the offer however, believing that the offer was not fair for both parties. Genovath, apprentice to Darth Thorn, leader of the Black Hand, made a counter offer as he was placed in charge for Thorn's absence. 

The Black Hand offered their future ships to join the GRM defensive and patrol fleets to bolster their strength. They also offered 20% of the resources gathered from the moon to be given to the GRM as payment for their use of the moon. This offer was quickly accepted by the GRM, and as the treaty was signed the Black Hand became officially known as the Black Hand of Mandalore, considering themselves a free and independent branch of the GRM itself. They continue to be their own separate group, but they now consider the GRM their brothers and sisters, and will act as a part of the Mandalore nation themselves.

Shortly after the meeting, Genovath gave the fleet the command to move into an orbit around the moon to find a suitable location for their first colony. The shipyard and droid factory owned by the Black Hand jumped in from an undisclosed safe zone, and moved with the fleet as well. With the offer made by the GRM came the construction of the first reactors to power the facilities the Black Hand would be using, including but not limited to the landing of their droid factory to convert it from a station to a surface construct.

The three organic members of the GRM are to stay on Taris for a short while until the moon has a good amount of groundwork and it is considered suitable for them to move in.
