Bio:

Darth Sranus is - was - a dormant Sith Lord, living a life of obscurity in the Outer Rim Territories.

A disciple of Darth Plagueis, Sranus has been trained firmly in the Dark Side of the force. There is no tragic circumstances to his name, no set of unfortunate events that made this so, he was simply born with an insatiable hunger to dominate everything and everyone. And the agents of the Dark Side are ever so skilled at detecting these kinds of individuals.

After being promised immortality by Darth Plagueis, a young Sranus was tasked with murdering his own parents and two brothers. This he did, with his bare hands no less. Pleased that Sranus showed much promise, Darth Plagueis immediately took him on as one of his several apprentices.

His hunger to dominate his peers was a natural conduit when it came to the force, and he far surpassed many of Darth Plagueis's other apprentices. Indeed, he killed many of them himself if he saw them as a threat. By 34 Y.B, only Darth Sidious could have been considered Sranus' better, and this fact became an unreachable itch on the latter's mind.

Sranus fought Darth Sidious at Darth Plagueis's bidding, in a light-sabre duel to the death. It was to be a final test, to prove who truely was Darth Plagueis's greater disciple. Darth Sidious defeated Sranus decisively, slicing his right arm from him, and kicking him into a reactor core.

Miraculously, Sranus was not consumed by the reactor, but he was scorched by it. Indeed, 95% of his flesh is scarred horribly from the burns - a constant reminder of his inferiority to Darth Sidious. He was able to crawl out of the reactor, and make his way to his ship. He had it flown on auto-pilot to his hideout on Sartinaynian. From there, he was healed back to health by his own apprentices.

Much has happened since then. Sranus has declared himself a Sith lord, and the true apprentice of Darth Plagueis. Denouncing Darth Sidious as a weak fool, and making good his death, Darth Sranus has become a rally beacon for Sith followers from across the Galaxy.

Through skilful manipulation, he has poisoned the mind of Supreme Admiral of the Imperial Fleet Kell Zaine. Darth Sranus and his disciples are now the chosen guardians of Kell's emerging Empire, and they have established training institutions and monasteries across the network of Imperial worlds.

Members of n Kell's inner circle fear Darth Sranus, and with good reason. Anyone who speaks ill of him, no matter how sure they are that their words will go unheard, end up dead. Indeed, he is not above marching into the Council of Moffs and arresting a senior ranking admiral there and then.

Any attempts to alert Kell of Darth Sranus' dealings end with a similar fate.

Therefore, many speculate that it is Darth Sranus, not Admiral Zaine, who leads the Empire. If this is the case, then the Sith may be more of a threat than many have so far assumed.

Temperament:Calm. Emotionless.

Kell Zaine

Name:

Kell Zaine

Age:

55

Gender:

Male

Appearance:



Bio:

Kell Zaine was an aspiring admiral in the Republic Navy. However, despite his ambition, he never proved his worth beyond collating star logs, interfering with local security agencies and talking the ears off any high ranking politician about the "glory of the Republic!"

Naturally, he was despised by those higher up the food chain, who saw him as an idealistic moron. His eagerness for advancement was too much, and its irritating repercussions made him an untouchable. Indeed, his fleet was usuaully posted to the Outer Rim Territories performing anti-pirate activities.

With the Trade Federation preparing their assault on Crouscant, Kell disobeyed orders to remain where he was, and driven by his love for the Republic, ordered his fleet to the impending battle.

The arrival of his forces proved to be much needed reinforcements, and despite his image as an irritating scourge, he proved himself a very able commander. Indeed, in the later stages of the Second Assault of Coruscant, it was his fleet that held the refugee lanes open.

After the battle, he immediately cemented his authority over other fleet admirals. Some would not heed him, and went their own ways, but others were drawn to his illustrious charisma. He remarkably reformed the shattered remnants of the fleets that followed him, and formed them into a significant battle force. Realising he was out matched by the Trade Federation's presence in the Corusca Sector, he took his ships to the Braxant Sector - known very well to him from his time there.

As mentioned, he became frustrated by the other self-appointed leaders of the Republic's remnants, that he lost sight of that he wished to defend: Democracy. He realised quickly that it would take a single man of great strength, and sure-fire conviction, to turn the tide of a war many had decided was already over.

He was visited by Darth Sranus, a dormant yet powerful Sith Lord. Sranus promised the disillusioned admiral a great victory over the Trade Federation, if only he would endorse the Dark Side. After a brief wavering of conscience, and a few more poisoned words from Sranus, Kell agreed.

Under Darth Sranus' tender guidance, Kell dispatched his immediate political enemies, and assumed control of the self-proclaimed Braxant Empire. Indeed, it was with the Dark Side's influence, that Kell plied his warships against civil disorder. Within ten years, he was the defacto ruler of the Braxant Sector, and his warships had swelled in numbers.

Again, with Darth Stranus' guidance, Kell led his enlarged fleet to the Corusca Sector. Once there, he issued the Trade Federation with a simple proclamation:

"Send forth your leaders, so that justice may be done upon them. Or, you will all die. Your machines are a fakery - a mere illusion of safety. I will find you all, and, I. WILL. KILL. YOU. ALL."

This was an eerie sign of things to come. Naturally, the Trade Federation with its vastly superior forces, responded by engaging him. He in turn dealt them a devastating defeat, proving his worth once again as a commander.

The Corusca Sector fell under his control in short order, and he established the Corusca-Braxant Empire. Intending to remain true to his proclamation, he immediately geared every planet under his control to industrial output. Anyone that stood in his way, died horribly. He had become blinded by his hatred, and posioned by the Sith.

With Darth Sranus taking care of "peace keeping" operations, Kell became largely unaware of the true scales of the horrors his people were suffering. Always, when hunger revolts rose up, or calls for democratic change were made, Darth Sranus would handle the situation and report false casualty logs.

Somewhere in there, remains the spoilt, irritable and aspiring commander that he was. Somewhere in there, is the man that stood against the Trade Federation at the Second Assault on Coruscant, holding them at bay so that millions would live. A powerful Jedi, wise in the ways of the Force, may yet help him reclaim his mind.

Temperament: Switches wildly between energetic, calm, enraged and depressed. Some suspect this is from Darth Sranus' more direct influence, possibly involving drugs or the force itself.

History:

In the Republic-shattering aftermath of the Trade Federation's victory over Coruscant, a Fleet Admiral by the name of Kell Zaine reorganised a large portion of the broken remnants of the Republic's scattered fleets, and took them to Sartinaynian in the Outer Rim Territories. A fortified world, though still in its infancy, Sartinaynian offered Kell the time and means he needed to fight back against the Trade Federation.

Despite lobbying the other self-appointed leaders who had formed in the wake of the broken and leaderless Republic, Kell found himself unable to convince them of the need to launch a decisive counter attack and to retake Coruscant. "The people," he proclaimed, "need hope. A victory over Coruscant will give them just that!"

Crouscant however, was a glassed ruin. Her billions of inhabitants mercilessly killed, her vast urban space no more than rubble, and her industry now non-existent. His peers rejected the plan, and he found the senior officers amidst his ranks were likewise against it. To many, it was simply not worth the risk, not when Sartinaynian could be defended indefinitely.

Frustrated, Kell turned to darker powers. Dormant Sith agents had been drawn to him by his lust for a continuation of the war, and by his apparent hatred for the Trade Federation. They knew in him was the man they needed to further their own cause. In his darkest hour, they provided him with fine promises of victory, and of justice. He accepted their help, and in return, they silenced the senior officers who were trying to wrestle the control of his fleet from him.

It took Kell a decade to establish an iron grip on the Braxant Sector. Many had tried to stop him, and many had failed - no thanks in any small part to his Sith allies. With their help, he established himself as Supreme Commander of the Braxant Imperial Fleet. To dissolve of the animosity from the ranks, he elected twelve of his most senior and promising officers onto the Council of Moffs, and gave them the false power of vetoes over his decisions, and the illusion that they had some control of his actions.

In this time, Sartinaynian, now aptly named Bastion, had been transformed into an industrial powerhouse. Kell risked near-economic collapse in swelling his fleet by scores of ships, and once he was ready, he led his war machine against the Trade Federation at the Battle of Coruscant.

The battle was fierce, and Kell was out numbered three to one. Through superior understanding of battle tactics, he defeated the Federation decisively, breaking their hold over the entire sector. They fell back, but beyond the sector's borders, they are regrouping. His open alliance with the Sith has also brought him animosity from not only his own subjects, but from other entities who seek to undo all that he has strove to achieve.

The RP will start with the Corusca-Braxant Empire in its tenth year. Civil disturbances have been put down by an iron fist, and all live in fear of the Supreme Admiral. He has by now reached the age of fifty-five, and although is healthy, no one is entirely sure who will take the helm when he passes away. The Sith have flourished in Imperial territories, with their own institutions fully endorsed by Kell.

The Imperial war machine has been gearing up for another run in with the Trade Federation, and has now assembled two mighty fleets. The Coruscant Fleet is primarily a defensive force in nature, using older ships than the fabled Black Fleet - Kell's untested but nevertheless feared main battle force.

Coruscant has been repopulated, and redeveloped, but is many, many years away from reaching its former glories. Duneeden, Utrost and Weerden have been transformed into factory worlds, with their sole aim being based in ship production.

Grand Republic of Mandalore

The Grand Republic of Mandalore

For our Home! For our Honor! For Mandalore!

Government Type:

The Grand Republic isn't so much a government, as an informal republic styled coalition of multiple clans with representation by every clan's Alor having an equal say in the affairs of the Grand Republic. Though for the most part the Jedi Council has been integrated within the myriad clans, there still exists an organization specifically for the Jedi, and they are also given place within the impromptu council. Beyond this informal republic, the Mandalorian Clans conduct themselves about as independently as they always have done.

Capital:

Mandalore
The iron-core of the Grand Republic, Mandalore serves as more than the capital of the GRM, but as the spiritual heart of the people. From the simple holdings of various clans across both desert and plains, all the way to the sprawling capital of Keldabe, the Mandalorians have come together like never before in support of the Mand'alor and their fellow Mandalorian. Keldabe itself has become more welcoming to the traveler, serving as the home of the governing body of the republic as well as the personal home of the Paladin. Many different species walk the streets of Keldabe now, serving as visual proof of the GRM's efforts to bring the Mandalorians into a new glory and retake that which was lost. Most notable to many, however, is the presence of the towering Jedi Enclaves, a tower dedicated to the Jedi who sought refuge among the Mandalorians from the rise of the Empire and later the Imperial Remnants. It is within this tower that the varying sects of Jedi live and teach their way of life, and it is also here that the Grandmaster of the Jedi Enclaves oversees the Jedi holdings spread among GRM territory.

Holdings

Manda'gyce - Mandalorian Command(Mandalore Sector)
The center of the Grand Republic's influence, the Mandalore sector serves as the beating heart of the GRM with Mandalore itself as the iron-core of the nation. While Mandalore itself is notable the most notable world of the sector, there are many others worth mentioning. Perhaps just as important as the worlds it supplies, Concord Dawn is a critical Agri-World within the sector, supplying much needed food-supplies to much of the GRM's holdings. As such, it sees much traffic from GRM Inner-Circle Fleets, and has a sprawling temple complex for the Jedi Enclaves. The main population of the planet consists of humans and devaronians, though with the establishment of GRM control it has seen an influx of Kaminoan and clone settlers looking to settle the lands. While Concord Dawn is quite firmly an Agri-World, Breshig has shifted to take up the role of main shipyards of the GRM. Boasting three massive planetary rings for the purpose of shipbuilding, Breshig takes up nearly half of the production quotas of the GRM Navy, and is the primary reason for Mandalorian Drive-Yards to have reached it's status as one of the top five in the galaxy.

Closer to home, Concordia has seen a revival as the once lush forests of the world are beginning to recover from the massive mining operations the Mandalorians conducted in the past. Spread among these forests are the main colonies of the Kaminoans, kept close to the Mandalorians in order to secure their safety from prying eyes and vengeful hearts. From their colonies, the Kaminoans wander the world and tend to the growing lands, taking with them the batches of clones that will serve as Agri-World workers so that they can teach them the ways of the land more intuitively. Mining operations are kept minimal in order to minimize damage to the ecosystem, instead focusing on deep-mining so that as little of the surface is used as possible.

Meerian (Sector)

Kyr'ra - The Dead-Stars(Belsmuth Sector)
Primarily a frontier sector, Kyr'ra is a heavily fortified and dangerous stretch of space with sporadic colonies spread throughout the region. Many of the systems contain star-forts built as staging points for GRM patrol fleets, with some even wholly dedicated to such facilities. Foremost among these systems are those of the Crombach Nebulae and Naval Station Kyr'ra Ke'gyce. Not much is known of Crombach outside the GRM, save that the nation is highly protective of whatever is going on there, and that the Jedi are involved in some way, however that may be. The region is believed to be a staging point for experimental vessels, with a fair few vessels leaving the nebulae that were not observed to have entered. Kyr'ra Ke'gyce on the other hand, is well known to be a strongpoint for GRM fleets operating in the sector, usually playing host to a large portion of the active fleets as well as serving as dockyards for those vessels currently on rest. The station itself is well over thirty-one kilometers in length, and utilizes multiple large vessel dock-rings for the servicing of larger ships such as the Imperator or Kandosii and even the odd Praetor or Lucrehulk. Within the station, the clone troopers and Mandalorian assault troops are well taken care of with a host of facilities catered towards ensuring that they are able to return to duty well rested and eager for battle. One of the most well known bars in GRM space is actually contained within the station, the Kov'nyn or Keldabe Kiss, and has operated there since the launch of the station five-years ago.

Elsewhere in the sector, Mandalorian Drive Yards operates shipbuilding facilities within the Botajef system, though the facilities there primarily serve as auxiliary service yards for the GRM navy. Borkeen is also a system worth mentioning, as the Borkeen Belt plays host to dozens of mining facilities as well as the GRM Outer Cordon Defensive Command. Because of the proximity of Kyr'ra Ke'Gyce and Crombach, the GRM-OCDC sees a lot of traffic from the admiralty of the fleets, as well as operating as a Fleet-Exercise area for testing of fleet tactics and munitions.

Hettyc'araniik - The Burning Cordon(Demetras Sector)
Combined with Kyr'ra and [PLACEHOLDER], Hettyc'araniik serves as the industrial backbone of the GRM, supplying much of the critical Durasteel and various other minerals needed to keep the fleets active and resupplied.

Werda'Ka'ra - The Shadow Sector(Ojoster Sector)
Foremost among the holdings of the Werda'Ka'ra is that of Taris, home to the Tarisian League of Mandalorian clans. Standing as an economic center since the early days of the Republic, Taris has always been overshadowed by the likes of Coruscant and Corellia, and many times seen as a haven for those who would not normally make it in the bustling cities of the prior two. Even still, despite the waning of its glory prior to the Clone Wars, Taris was still a very viable target for Separatists looking to weaken the economic base of the teetering Republic. For this reason did the then planetary governor appeal to the Mandalorians to become part of their neutral systems alliance, and then followed suit to become part of the Grand Republic of Mandalore. Within a few short years many of the people became endeared to the Mandalorian ways, seeing the high value of culture and family as something to strive for, and the Mandalorians saw a much needed boost to their population in the form of those who would not normally be thought of as Mandalorian. Flash forward to present day, and a vast majority of Taris speaks primarily Mando'a, and many clans have created holdings among the towering skylines of the city-world. With the Mandalorians of the GRM, of course, came the Jedi as well, and one their largest Enclaves operates here, recruiting from the native population of Twi'Lek and Humans. As special note, the GRM utilizes Taris and its underground as a training center for Urban-Combat, putting through some million troops each year in weekly cleansing exercises.

Elsewhere in the sector, the Tarisian League operates GRM facilities on Denova for the purpose of Baradium mining, supplying much of the needed element to Mandalorian Arms as well as Czerka and MDY. The world also serves as a staging point for GRM fleet exercises, with large repair and re-arming facilities set up in orbit above the mining world. Close by is the world of Wayland, a heavily fortified world that serves dual purposes as Hostile Climate Training, as well as one of the many Jedi Enclaves within GRM space. Also within Werda'Ka'ra is the world of Jebble which nominally serves as a training facility for Hostile Climate Training, due to its status as an ice-world. Jebble is also noted for the installation of shipyards that have been constructed by the Tarisian League to supplement MDY orders, as well as fulfill their own orders under Tarisian Hypernautics. Along with Jebble, Ord Fanthal also operates shipyards for Tarisian Hypernautics, devoting a large portion of its resources to commissions for those who wish to purchase non-standard GRM vessels.

Japrael Sector:
Within the Onderon system its moon Dxun is of special note, in that it has been re-purposed to a training planet and cloning facility for the Mandalorian Clone-Troopers. Few centers of civilization exist on the world, as the Mandalorian and Kaminoan Clone-Masters feel that the savage environments of Dxun provide the perfect environment for training new clones in the arts of war, and survival on hostile worlds. The hyperspace routes between the Mandalore Sector and Japrael Sector are heavily patrolled by the Grand Army of the Mandalorian Republic, with very little traffic between them other than the military convoys.

Persons of Importance

Name: Mandalore the Paladin/Mand'alor Haar'kom'ryk'be'kyr'am

Species: Human

Age: Believed to be mid thirties

Gender: Male

Appearance: Mandalore the Paladin has never been seen without some form of armor or robe, with the Mask of Mandalore always worn. Mandalore's personal armor is that of a heavily modified Neo-Crusader armor utilizing solid Beskar as the plating and enhanced actuators to assist movement for more fluid close-combat capability.

Affiliation: Grand Republic of Mandalore

Occupation: Mandalore!

Brief History:

Initially, when the Jedi and commanders of the Grand Army came to Mandalore, they found a party of apathetic New Mandalorians under a Mand'alor that cared nothing for the conflict raging about her planet. Under Satine Kryze, the Mandalorians had become embroiled in civil-war amongst each other, with both factions struggling for control over both the planet and their people. Even as the Grand Army moved to secure their own future, a challenger to the title of Mand'alor arose from the myriad clans of Mandalore. A relative unknown, the man wore simple robes and a facemask to meet with Satine directly on the eve of the first year of the Gentis Coup. At first startled by the newcomer, Satine did not fully-comprehend that she had been openly challenged to the title of Mand'alor by the man, a challenge which could not be denied or the title was lost according to ancient Mandalorian tradition. Understanding her situation at last, she stood in the face of her challenger and denied him a battle, daring him to take her life for she would not take his. Surprisingly, the challenger did not move to kill her, saying that he wished to bring order to Mandalore, not just peace, and to end the civil war that raged around them. Though they met as rivals, the long talk the two had ended with the unknown challenger accepting the right to rule from Satine, and leaving her in place as a head of government.

Eager to take his own chance, Satine's foremost rival Pre Vizsla stood up to challenge the man claiming himself Mand'alor. In a duel which lasted for hours, the two combatants fought across the square observed by a crowd of now hundreds of Mandalorians. Each fighter moved cautiously, keeping their energy reserved for quick bursts of activity, and neither making any overt killing moves for fear of allowing their opponent an opening. With a bold move, the claimant left himself open to Vizsla allowing him to strike at his side, while enabling him to bring about his own blade in a vicious counterattack that severed Vizsla's head. Holding the severed head of Vizsla aloft to the crowd, and with Satine backing him the man proclaimed himself as Mandalore the Paladin, rightful ruler of the Mandalorians, and the one who would truly bring the people to their old glory. He swore it upon himself to rebuild all that their people had lost, and that the Jedi along with the Grand Army of the Republic would be the first step on a long and arduous path to retake their glory. From that moment the Grand Republic of Mandalore was born, and the Mandalorians took their first steps towards their former glory, with the Paladin at their head.

Name: The Cold Void

Species: Humanoid, possibly a non-human

Age: Unknown

Gender: Unknown

Appearance: The true face of the being known as The Cold Void has not been seen since the tragedy that caused their horrific injuries during the Clone Wars. Always swathed in heavy dark robes, The Cold Void is believed to be wearing a form of ornate Sith battle-armor recovered from a Sith Temple during the war.

Affiliation: Grand Republic of Mandalore, Jedi Enclaves

Occupation: Jedi Master

Brief History:

The Fallen Jedi known as The Cold Void first surfaced after a particularly savage campaign within the Outer Rim territories, a campaign that has been lost in the records after the chaos of the Empire's fall. They had been tasked with investigating a possible Separatist base on a frozen-world called Korriz within the Stygian Caldera, an investigation which ended in catastrophic failure at the hands of previously unknown assailants native to the world. The landing of the ill-fated legion was at first met with only silence, the world seeming to be completely dead, but soon the Jedi-Knight had discovered the existence of a Sith Tomb under the surface. With the breaching of the Tomb, hundreds of ancient Krath War Droids reactivated and began a systematic slaughter of the Clone Troopers. The Jedi-Knight was at the center of the battle, desperately attempting to redirect the battle in favor of the Republic, but unable to counter the firepower and durable construction of the ancient droids.

As the battle continued, the Jedi-Knight was forced to retreat with the ARC commandos, falling back to the Sith Tomb in an attempt to gain better ground. Within the labyrinthine complex The Jedi eventually became separated from the ARC Commandos, the halls echoing with the screams of their deaths, and the raw power of the dark side slowly corrupting the Jedi. Driven mad by the rampant energies of the force, the Jedi fell into an abyss that had been opened during the battle. Falling to a grim death at the bottom of the ruin, the Jedi reached out with the Force to try to arrest the fall, unwittingly letting the Dark Side fully into their being. The Force would not let them off easy, and the massive losses of the day had opened a wound within their being, the rush of the dark energies of the ancient tomb wreaking havoc on the Jedi's mind and body as they broke upon the stone floor of the deepest reaches of the tomb.

When the Jedi awoke, they no longer wore the guise of the Jedi-Knight from before, but that of a Fallen Jedi, the dark-side energies altering them into a raw wound in the force. A seething hunger filled the Fallen Jedi, a desire to feed upon the life energy overwhelming all prior sensibilities. Scavenging the ancient battle armor of the long-dead Sith-Lord, the Fallen Jedi stumbled out into the frozen wastes of Korriz to find life to feed upon. For several years the Fallen Jedi sustained itself on the native creatures of the world, until it could finally draw upon enough strength to recollect its fragmented mind and escape the world on one of the forgotten transport vessels.

Garbed in the robes of a Jedi, the fallen Jedi rejoined it's brethren within the Mandalorian nation as a Dark Jedi seeking asylum, calling itself The Cold Void. The Mandalorians accepted The Cold Void as an ally, whereas the Jedi Council were slow to trust, though over time the relations between the Jedi Order and those allied with The Cold Void have improved.

Other:

The Cold Void uses a rare form of Force powers, revolving around the manipulation of ambient temperatures to induce severe cold and project bolts of ice. This unique form of Force powers also has imbued The Cold Void with the ability to survive the hard vacuum of space without an enclosed suit. The use of other Force powers has been severely restricted because of The Cold Void's mastery in this field, with many abilities closed off to it. It is believed that The Cold Void is proficient in the use of the forgotten Dun Möch style of lightsaber combat, utilizing the unique Force powers along with great patience to slowly erode the opponent's will to fight, before striking them down.

- Remembrance - Remembrance is a unique curved-hilt lightsaber that was constructed long ago by The Cold Void. The blade of Remembrance is of a dark violet in hue, the actual blade burning with a cold-heat.

Affiliation: Grand Republic of Mandalore, Jedi Enclaves, The Black Hand of Mandalore

Occupation(Solace): Apprentice to Luna Bell

Occupation(Requiem): Apprentice to Luna Bell

Alignment(Solace): Dark Side

Alignment(Requiem): Light Side

Brief History:

Born on Alpheridies, the Miralukan sisters Solace and Requiem were raised to utilize their natural force-abilities at a young age. Graduating from the Luka Sene at the age of 15, the sisters were devout members of the organization, dedicating themselves to the needs of all on Alpheridies, and never putting themselves before another. When they were inducted into the Sene Seekers three years later, they began to develop a yearning for wandering like many young Miraluka do. It was such that the Luka Sene chose to send the sisters on missions to redeem those who had fallen away from home, and is where they began their fall from the light-side.

A Miralukan male by the name of Zentraedies had uncovered a dark-side artifact on an outer-rim world near the Stygian Caldera, and the sisters had been sent to attempt to redeem Zentraedies. When they tracked him down, they had found that he had discovered a Sith holocron, and had already accessed the knowledge within, learning of dangerous secrets that should not have been uncovered. A tense stand-off resulted between the two sisters and the fallen Miraluka, neither side willing to attack the other. Zentraedies finally relented after several tense moments, admitting that he had made contact with a supposed Sith Lord in order to barter away the Holocron.

Appalled at the carelessness of Zentraedies, Solace insisted that he come with them back to Alpheridies, but he refused, stating that the Sith Lord would hunt him down for the betrayal. Conflicted, the sisters agreed that Zentraedies would return to Alpheridies alone, and that they would take the Holocron to the Sith Lord on their own. Zentraedies vowed to stay true to the sisters, and immediately boarded a shuttle back home. While he was in route, Solace and Requiem traveled to the territories of the Grand Republic of Mandalore to return the holocron to the Sith as part of the deal.

Arriving on Mandalore to a rather odd welcoming by the Jedi Enclaves, the twins entered the Enclaves to seek out the supposed Sith and deliver the holocron. Passing by countless murals of the Jedi Order, the two began to grow increasingly uneasy about the whole prospect, feeling that something was well and truly off about this mission. Finally arriving in the Grand Archives of the Enclave, the two found the one they were seeking. Sat within the center of the room was a raw and seething wound in the force, a being who fed off the very energies around it, and the one believed to be a Sith Lord right in the heart of the Jedi Enclaves. It was there that they explained that they were to fulfill Zentraedies' end of the bargain, and to give the Sith Lord the Holocron without payment. Accepting the holocron, the mysterious Sith bid them to peruse the Archives while they wait for their vessel to be refueled.

At first, they thought to refuse, but Solace felt it better to indulge the eccentric Sith Lord, and they entered the vast repository with the intention of simply looking around without activating anything. The more they wandered the endless hallways, the more curious they became, and the more curious they became, the more they chose to look into. When refitment had been completed the sisters had already become embroiled within the archives of the order, and were eager to learn more. So it was that the sisters Requiem and Solace pledged themselves to The Cold Void and the Jedi Enclaves.

Little do the sisters know, that Zentraedies did return to Alpheridies, and has since become the Grand-Master of the Luka Sene, his redemption absolute in the face of those dark secrets revealed years ago. He has been known to offer extravagant rewards to those who may have information regarding the whereabouts of the sisters, especially Solace, whom he had been in love with.

Recently the twins have left the apprenticeship of The Cold Void, after growing close to the newest addition to the Tarisian Enclaves and the GRM, Luna Bell. Though Shimmerene wanted the two to remain at Taris and the Enclave, there was really no way for her to stop the twins and it would only deepen the growing divide between her former apprentices and herself. Now the two live with Luna Bell on the moon Ishtara, learning in the loosest sense of the word.

Other:

- Equipment -

Solace:

Lightsaber Pike - A rare type of weapon utilizing a long staff-like hilt with cortosis weave built into it.

Jedi-Battle Armor - A composite suit of battle-armor made to be light and flexible in combat, yet provide durability and strength against lightsabers and blaster weapons. The plates are made of a crimson ceramic material with a cortosis weave throughout, secured to an armourweave bodysuit. Modifications to the suit include a wrist-mounted guard-shoto lightsaber on the right gauntlet, and an array of force-attuned crystals mounted into the left gauntlet.

Requiem:

Equilibrium - Unique curved cross-guard lightsaber, has been modified to use either emitter as the main blade. Has been force-attuned to Requiem.

Jedi-Battle Armor - Similar to that of Solace's battle-armor, Requiem's battle-armor has been modified as well. Eschewing the wrist-mounted weapons, Requiem has instead installed electronic interfacing systems, as well as miniature hydraulics to make it a powered-battle armor. The armor suit links up to the modified neural band that she wears to cover her eyes, and allows the suit to respond to her force-sight as well as her own movements.

Modified DC-15S Blaster Carbine - Modified with an enhanced scope array as well as an expanded magazine. The Scope array has been made with lenses of attuned crystals, allowing Requiem to 'see' down the scope to the same extent as a user without force-sight could.

- Skills -

Both of the Miralukan sisters are adept in the Juyo/Vaapad lightsaber forms, as well as having training in the Sokan techniques and the Dun Moch form. Solace has followed in the footsteps of their master, and has become adept in the use of the Force powers for which their master is named. She also retains many of the abilities learned during her tutorship among the Luka Sene, able to utilize healing powers to a large degree. Requiem, on the other hand, is less learned in the Cold Force, instead focusing on her use of the Force-Sight, and developing it further into a form of precognition, which she uses to locate artifacts for the Archives. Another of Requiem's skills is the usage of advanced healing abilities and shielding techniques.

- Personalities -

Solace is rather reserved, preferring to keep her emotions to herself, her sister, and their master. She comes off as just as cold and unforgiving as The Cold Void, attributed to the extended exposure to the Sith Lord's influence. She is known to be more ruthless and violent than her master though, in that she is known to personally execute those who fail her master, and is not above torture. It is because of her ruthlessness and adherence to the tenets which have brought her to the status of First Prime

A step away from both her sister, and their master, Requiem is a more of a free-spirit, reveling in the feeling of being alive and openly expressing her feelings. It is well known that she would prefer to "Hug it out" than actually fight others, though she understands the necessity of combat. Unlike her sister, she has openly admitted to an infatuation with the eccentric Dark-Jedi she serves, a subject which the Dark-Jedi tends to avoid discussing whenever possible.

Brief History

"Here's why you can't exterminate us. We're not huddled in one place—we span the galaxy. We need no lords or leaders—so you can't destroy our command. We can live without technology—so we can fight with our bare hands. We have no species or bloodline—so we can rebuild our ranks with others who want to join us. We're more than just a people or an army. We're a culture. We're an idea. And you can't kill ideas—but we can certainly kill you."
―Mandalore the Destroyer

The Mandalorian society is an ancient one that has been in existence for thousands of years in one form or another, only occasionally coming together for what they have taken to calling the Crusades. Spanning the entire galaxy, Mandalorians have served as mercenaries for countless organizations of varying repute, plying the only trade they know. Before the formation of the Grand Republic, the thought of the Mandalorians coalescing into an actual society was laughable at best, and the beginning of the end at worst. What with their instinctive individualism, the knack for survival in virtually any (breathable)environment, and their penchant for battle, a legitimate nation of Mandalorians is something rightful to be feared when left to its own devices. In truth, the Mandalorian Clans might not have come together as a cohesive government if not for the perfect storm of factors that came in the form of the rise of a new and influential Mand'alor, the fall of the Republic and the rise of a more powerful CIS with Grievous at the head.

It was early in the Clone wars when some Jedi began to feel their grip on the future slipping, many telling of dark clouds obscuring the portents. As the war carried on, these dark clouds became more and more prominent, to the point that even their greatest could not see beyond the close of the war. The Ninth Systems Army saw intense fighting throughout the wars, the Jedi at their head leading them into many battles that few would walk out of, but always being there for the Clones. So it was that as many other Clone-Troopers saw their Jedi-Masters as merely commanders, the Ninth Systems Army came to regard their Jedi as much more, many confiding with the Jedi on the things they had seen during the wars and the Jedi providing the moral support to keep the Ninth loyal and fighting. One of the more influential battles of the Clone Wars was that of Coruscant, and here was where the Ninth showed their support for the Jedi, by moving to secure the Jedi Temple, and helping them to copy the Archives into the archives of their command-ship, The Ataru Sentinel.

With the Archives secured, and a full-copy of them within the command-ship, the Ninth moved to support other elements of the Grand Army of the Republic in holding the capital against separatist forces. When the battle concluded, the Jedi-Council were made aware of the actions of the Ninth, and how the Great Holocron itself was safely held in their care. After some debate, it was ruled that it was best for the Archives to have a back-up, and that the Ninth would act as its protectors until such a time as it was no longer necessary. With Coruscant behind them, the Ninth continued their efforts across the Republic to keep the separatists back, and defend the Republic. Through these battles the Jedi who accompanied them devoted themselves more and more to the Ninth, committing more and more to the front-lines, and often times leading the assaults themselves.

As the Clone Wars drew to a close, and Grievous began his moves to sack Coruscant, the Ninth was prosecuting a campaign on the far Outer Rim when the call came to reinforce their key worlds. Knowing they had to act fast, the hyperdrives spooled up to move to support the Kuat defenders, but just before they jumped news came in of the Second Battle for Coruscant, and of Grievous' total victory. Though the clone commanders were ready to leap in against Grievous and retake the capital, the jedi of the Ninth knew it was lost, and ordered them to rally at the rendezvous point with Kenobi. From here, the Ninth was no longer alone in their battle, joined by the remnants of the Open Circle Fleet that had managed to flee as well as numerous other fleets from across the galaxy.

Now on the run from the Confederacy, the Grand Fleet took action to preserve not only the Jedi but the old ways of the Republic as it began to crumble around them. Many worlds were thought of as havens, though nearly all of them were deemed unsuitable for reasons all the way from being a separatist stronghold to just being outright denied by the world itself. With only two choices left before aligning with the Separatists, the Ninth flipped a coin over going to the Hutts or the Mandalorians. The result of the coin-flip sent the remnants to Mandalore, where they found the planet split by civil war between the New Mandalorians and the Death-Watch, and neither party too willing to take in the refugees. For several weeks the Jedi along with Tarkin and a few of the other Moffs negotiated terms of refuge with the clan leaders as well as Satine and Vizsla themselves, all of which was only met with "In time we shall see.". Their chance came when the Paladin arose to take the reigns of leadership by declaring himself Mand'alor. With the galaxy set ablaze around them, the Paladin set upon them one simple question "Will you help us to reclaim our lost glory and stand beside me as I build a new and stronger republic?". Knowing that this was the best chance they had, the assembled leaders of the Ninth Systems Army pledged themselves to the Paladin and the Mandalorians.

Before they could truly join into the Paladin's rising republic, the Grand Army had to act quickly to secure their future, and that of the Mandalorian Republic. Two key assets needed to be acquired before the Ninth could truly stand on their own, and that was shipbuilding capability and the Kaminoans. In terms of shipbuilding capabilities, the Mandalorians were already moving to set up their own shipyards by the merger of MandalMotors and Mandal Hypernautics, all they needed were schematics for Republic vessels, schematics held by Kuat Drive Yards nearly half the galaxy away. Divisions were drawn, and multiple legions were brought together under what would later be called Operation Lance of the Republic in a lightning assault against Kuat under the guise of friendly Republic Forces come to reinforce against Confederate assault and gain supplies. All markings from the vessels were scrubbed as well as black-boxes removed in case of the ship falling into enemy hands, with Grand Admiral Tarkin taking up the role of a Republic Governor to do negotiations. Coming in with just his Venator command ship, Tarkin began the negotiations with Kuat for supplies, all the while the armada of the Ninth readied for his own encrypted signal. At the height of his summit, Tarkin gave the order and the Ninth Systems Army jumped in system to begin their assault, all the while Tarkin's teams of ARC troopers made their move on KDY's headquarters to secure their database. While the ARC troopers worked planetside, the fleet worked a furious battle to cover the operatives on the ground despite facing a larger fleet. After nearly an hour of intense fighting, the ARC troopers took their prize and disengaged from the battle-zone, fleeing the system with Tarkin and the rest of the armada close on their heels. Despite losing three venators and seven acclamators, the Ninth managed to secure the entire database of KDY and leave nothing behind that would lead to their discovery.

Elsewhere in the galaxy, the Seventh Fleet lead the second part of Operation Lance of the Republic in an assault to at first seize Kaminoan facilities, but ended up being a rescue-operation against the Confederacy. Their first clue that something may have been off was the presence of an CIS fleet overhead, and what seemed to be a battle going on surface-side. Taking swift action to cripple the Confederate fleet before they could alert the surface troops, the Ninth moved in to support and despatched a legion to the surface to relieve the beleaguered Kaminoan defenders. Coming in from behind, the Ninth pinned the droids between the battle-hardened forces of the Republic Clones and the defensive forces of the Kamino clones. With nothing left but smoking scrap, the commanders of the Ninth entered the facilities to speak with the Kaminoan Clone-masters, now moving to convince them to depart with them to Mandalore. At first, the Kaminoans refused, feeling that they could not simply leave their home after the first attack, but soon it became clear that it was not the first and would not be the last. Word had come down from orbit that a second fleet was incoming, and captured Tactical Droids from the orbiting vessels had revealed that their fleet intended to execute a Base-Delta-Zero on Kamino to prevent any others from seizing the facilities. With a clear choice before them, the Kaminoans ceded to the requests of the Seventh, moving to secure what little they could before sabotaging the rest. As the last of the Kaminoans cleared the facilities, the Seventh assembled their fleet, now including the various vessels of the Kaminoans, and set off the charges that sunk the Kaminoan facilities to the ocean floor and ensured that no others would be able to recover them.

Now with both shipbuilding and cloning capabilities under their control, the Grand Army looked to establish themselves socially within the Mandalorian's republic. Tarkin, at the behest of the Jedi Council, dissolved the Grand Army and placed the operation forces under the command of the Paladin, who then moved to place Tarkin as head of the Grand Republic of Mandalore Navy. With an army of its own, and moves to establish the government among its people, the GRM moved to secure their borders and take in the surrounding sectors as protectorates and member states. Each of these member-states was given a seat in the new senate of the GRM, alongside the alor's of the clans and the heads of the military. The Jedi themselves moved to integrate with Mandalorian society, taking up roles as civil-servants and going about to help the society take up less militaristic ways of life and showing them the merits of such a way. Along with their civil duties, the Jedi reworked the code as a means of preserving their way of life, all done under the auspices of now Grandmaster Obi-Wan Kenobi, a practical minded man who saw the need to be more open with the Jedi way and accepting of other paths. With their code revised, and much of the strictness of the old Jedi Order relaxed in favor of a more free order, the Jedi looked to establish enclaves across GRM space, knowing now the folly of keeping all of their eggs in one basket, so to speak. The changes to the code also lead to a more political view of the force, and of the users in general, leading to the rise of more than one dark-jedi affiliated with the Enclaves and living among fellow Jedi without reprisal. While some of the more traditionalist Jedi of the order are in opposition to this, the dark-jedi and even Sith affiliated force-users of the Enclaves understand the code as well as all others and are content to live within the Enclaves so long as they are allowed to live and practice in the way they choose.

While the Jedi established their Enclaves and their future, the Paladin saw to his own people, issuing the Call of Mandalore to all those who had dispersed from the home-planet and stamping out the last dregs of civil-war on Mandalore itself. Within a few short years, he would see the GRM establish secured trade-lanes with GRM space, and solidify the gains of his collected peoples. Across all of GRM space, Mand'oa was being shifted into the primary dialect, and education facilities shifted to teach the Resol'nare as soon as children could speak. As an act to restore some of the honor of the Mandalorians, he also asked of his people to limit their mercenary activities, and when they did indulge in such actions to always look to the Resol'nare as guidance. With the Mandalorians reformed into a noble republic of warriors, and the Jedi more lax in their staunch tenets, the GRM looks poised to take up the reigns of the former Galactic Republic as a pillar of law and order among a warring galaxy. Only time will decide if the GRM is ready to take up that role, and if the past of the Mandalorians will end up dashing their plans across the stars.

GRM Civilian Assets

- Mandalorian Drive Yards -

In the last twenty years, one of the foremost achievements of the GRM has been the reformation of Mandal Hypernautics and Mandal Motors into the corporation known now as Mandalorian Drive Yards, or MDY. Built upon a foundation of old and trusted designs, as well as the stolen blueprints of KDY vessels, MDY has been able to make a name for itself and push itself into the top five starship producers by dint of sheer Mandalorian determination and Jedi ingenuity. MDY consists of three planetary rings divided into specialized docks for classes of vessels, with the outer and central rings producing vessels in the Main-Line and the inner ring producing the Second-Line vessels. Each ring typically consists of at least forty capital class docks, as well as an additional two-hundred cruiser class docks. Cruiser docks serve dual purposes in that not only do many of them construct cruiser-class vessels and below, but they are also capable of manufacturing the many starfighters that MDY has on file. Complementing the construction docks are numerous repair and rearming stations that orbit in proximity to the rings, serving as ports for returning patrol fleets. Within the Inner-Ring, MDY has constructed the same number of capital-class docks in addition to even larger docks capable of serving multiple capitals at once.

- Mandalorian Armaments -

Another company founded during the rise of Mand'alor the Paladin, Mandalorian Arms was created in order to satisfy the supply needs of the infantry of the GRM. Working off tried and true Blastech and Czerka designs, Mandalorian Arms has been supplying the Mandalorians and Clone troopers of the GRM with quality arms and armor for eighteen years, and is always looking towards new and innovative designs. As well as arms and armor, Mandalorian Arms is known to stray into battle-droid territory from time to time, with their most recent creation being the revival of an old Czerka assassin-droid into prototyping stages.

- Czerka Corporation -

Dredged up through old ties and various remnant organizations, Czerka Corporation and its assets were purchased by Clan Orkhota early in the foundation of the GRM, and then made part of the GRM's Industrial sector as a show of good faith and support of The Paladin. Based out of Concord Dawn, the company works closely with the more mercenary elements of the GRM, acting as a civil defense firm rather than the military arms company that they had previously acted as. While they do primarily specialize in small arms and utilities, Czerka has made movements into the battle-droid market with a few prototypes of old designs, namely the Hunter-Killer series Assassin-Droid with the assistance of Mandalorian Arms.

- Mandalorian Technical Research and Development -

Technically a division of MDY and MandArms, MTRD is a company exclusively created for the conceptualization and utilization of new technologies, as well as reverse-engineering old technologies. Because of their speciality, most of MTRD's actual work is highly classified, and a large portion of their work remains either uncredited or credited to other individuals and companies. Most notable of these false accreditations is the revival of Old Republic vessels such as the Hammerhead and Foray, as well as the reverse-engineering of the Tector, Imperator and Praetor Star Destroyers. In addition to starship design, MTRD is also the holder of many of the more interesting acquisitions of the GRM, such as various Jedi/Sith relics and Infinite Empire devices. Unlike the other assets of the GRM, no facility of MTRD is actually known of outside of GRM command elements, making it difficult to ascertain where it is that the company even operates in.

- The Jedi Enclaves -

Technically a non-military and non-governmental organization, the Jedi Enclaves consist of the assorted temples of the Jedi spread across GRM space and across all levels of GRM society. For the most part, the Enclaves work towards bolstering the civilian population's knowledge of less war-oriented employment, lending their hand towards building up and sustaining the GRM's growing society, though differences of opinion often times divide the Enclaves in their goal. With the dissolution of the old Jedi Code, the Enclaves operate across the broad spectrum of the force, with many staying within the gray area, but more than a fair few straying light or dark. One of the more telling changes of the Jedi is their allowance of personal feelings towards others, and their strict adherence to more passive solutions. In a way, it could be said that the Mandalorians influenced the Jedi just as much as the Jedi influenced the Mandalorians, especially with the view of darksiders as merely a political difference. Because of this, it is not all too uncommon to find both a light-side Jedi and a Dark-Jedi operating together within the GRM.

- Kaminoan Colonies -

Brought in alongside the Clones of the Ninth Systems Army, the Kaminoans were at first refugees sheltered from the wrath of the Empire, and then from potential CIS remnants eager to take advantage of the chaos of the coup. With the creation of the Grand Republic of Mandalore, the Kaminoans were ushered in as allies and key members of the new republic, their foremost contribution being that of clones eager to take up the tasks that Mandalorians themselves are not suited for. In addition to bolstering the economic base of the GRM with ready and willing laborers, the Kaminoans utilize their cloning facilities to produce clone armies for other factions who have the coin for their quality troops. Kaminoan cloning facilities are spread throughout GRM space and serve not only as cloning facilities, but also as colonies for the species. These structures are noted for their sprawling domes and spires of eerie white material, more often than not settled among the oceans of the GRM worlds they occupy.

- Tarisian Hypernautics -

Formed as a splinter company off of Mandalorian Drive Yards, Tarisian Hypernautics is in a way, the civilian branch of the GRM's shipbuilding industrial sector. While the company does not make many of the GRM designed vessels available for public sale, it is noted for its ability to turn out commissions in a timely fashion, as well as their large array of former CIS vessels available for construction.

GRM Military Assets

- The Death Watch -

With his coming into prominence and the founding of the Grand Republic, the Paladin knew that he would make a fair few enemies out of his desire to shift the Mandalorians into a noble warrior society. Foremost among these was the organization that had once been known as the Death Watch. Founded in savagery and the desire to bathe in the blood of the weak, the Death Watch was once a violent splinter faction that was all too eager to see the Mandalorians devolve back into savage raiders and barbarians. Taking careful steps to remove the more influential of the remnants, the Paladin orchestrated a series of events that would lead the Death Watch into a reorganization under his own command. His first move was to openly challenge their leader for right to rule, a challenge that no true Mandalorian could turn down and hope to keep the respect of his warriors. After taking the head of the former commander, the Paladin revised the tenets of the Death Watch into something more favorable, shifting them away from a simple raider-caste and utilizing their desire to return the Mandalorians to former glory to his advantage. He spoke at length with the remaining members of the Resol'nare and the old days, of how the clans had once been united as one single clan, and how the Mandalorians need only to look for themselves to provide for their kin. Soon after the Death Watch was sworn to the Paladin as the enforcers of the Mandalorian Way, those few who would do whatever it took to preserve the Mandalorian way of life.

The Grand Army of Mandalore

Foremost consisting of the Clone-Troopers and Jedi-Commanders, the military of the Grand Republic of Mandalore maintains nearly the same command structure as the former Grand Army of the Republic. A vast majority of the Clone-Troopers are equipped with the same equipment used throughout the Clone-Wars, though they have been supplemented with the addition of the ability to produce the Mandalorian Neo-Crusader armor. The Navy of the GRM also follows suit with that of the GAR, as much of the equipment previously made by Kuat Drive-Yards has been replicated by the Mandalorian Drive-Yards. Specialist divisions and High-Command usually consist of True-Mandalorians, though the purpose-bred Clone-Commanders still hold many positions of authority within the Grand Army of the Mandalorian Republic. The most important positions the True-Mandalorians hold is that of the Training-Supervisors for the new generations of Clones that will form the bulk of the GRM infantry forces, and one day become full-fledged Mandalorians.

Organization of the Grand Army of the Mandalorian Republic:

Haar'beviin be'Mand'alor - "The Lance of Mandalore"
The Grand Army - The full army's organization, under the command of Mandalore himself as well as the Jedi-Council.
Systems Army - Seven Sector Armies under the command of a Bes'kyr'Jetii or "Iron-Death Jedi"
Sector Army - Eight Corps headed by a Clan-Leader
Corps - Ten Legions lead by a Master-Jedi or Mandalorian "War-Leader"
Legion - Five regiments lead by a Clone-Commander
Regiment - Up to eight battalions lead by a Jedi-Commander
Battalion - Four companies lead by a Jedi-Commander or True-Mandalorian
Company - Up to five platoons lead by a True-Mandalorian.
Platoon - Four squads lead by either a Clone-Captain, or a True-Mandalorian.
Squad - Nine man unit lead by a Clone-Captain, generally equipped in the Phase I Clone-Trooper armor.

Bes'uliik Ke'gyce - Basilisk War-Droid Command - Oversees the thousand or so functioning Bes'uliik and works with MDY to create new ones to the existing armada.
Bes'uliik Bes'bavar - The Basilisk War-Droid cavalry consisting of True-Mandalorians who have proven themselves in battle, only a handful of Mandalorians can claim this honor, and no Clone-Troopers have yet taken on a Bes'uliik.
Bes'uliik Bes'kyr'Jetii - The Iron-Death Jedi, a select few Jedi who have embraced fully the Mandalorian ways of war. These individuals typically lead the Systems Armies, though it is not unknown for them to come together as a cohesive unit during Basilisk Assaults.

All military technology utilized by the GRM is that of the Grand Army of the Republic, with the only deviations being that of Mandalorian technology. Phase I Clone-Trooper armor is in widespread use, as well as the Mandalorian Neo-Crusader armor. MDY manufactures all of the starships of the GRM, as well as Basilisk War-Droids, and their subsidiaries manufacturing armor and weapons.

Capital Ships

Venator-I
The Venator I class of Star Destroyers is perhaps the most well known and heavily used warship of the GRM Navy. Originally utilized by the Ninth Systems Army which served the Republic with honor, the Venator was adopted readily into the GRM and served the roles it was needed for with outstanding service. Over the years, multiple variants of the Venator I have been developed, all in an effort to keep the image of the GRM Navy present and boost the morale of the troops. Foremost among these is the Type 1 Venator, seen as a modernization of the chassis to pick up a few of the aging components and replace them with more effective advancements. One such advancement is the use of Tarisian Hypernautics' new Capital-Class Ion Drive, which is 10% more energy efficient than the previous model allowing this Venator to utilize its engines to greater effect and gain further maneuverability on the battlefield. Following on the Type 1, is the Type 2 Heavy Support variant, which removes much of the fighter complement in favor of increased firepower to make it more of a fire-support vessel like it's fellow Star Destroyer the Imperial I with the added benefits of the Type 1's superior engines. Moving to the other end of the spectrum, the Type 3 increases the carrying capacity of the Mark I Venator to be able to hold almost 700 strike craft. To compensate for the decreased firepower of the Type 3, engineers have made standard the addition of SPHA emplacements in the hangar areas, so as to be able to fire upon vessels attempting to enter or fire upon the open hangar. The Type 3 is also the most heavily shielded variant, dedicating the energy that would normally be powering turbolaser batteries to the large enhanced shield generator installed. These improvements to the base Venator I have made it a competent and feared rival on the space-lanes, a position that the GRM is all too proud of.

Kandosii Dreadnaught
Brought up from the ancient days of the Mandalorian Crusaders, the Kandosii Dreadnaught is a modern recreation of the devastating capital ship which ravaged Old Republic fleets back during the crusades. Built foremost as a form of Assault Ship, the Kandosii's design lends itself well to hard-hitting assaults with its aggressive armament and heavy armoring. One of the changes to the vessel was primarily the drive component, once again Tarisian Hypernautics took up the role of supplying this, and with the new Ion Drive, the Kandosii is much more capable than its previous iteration. Additionally, advancements in armor and shielding has allowed MDY to expand the hangar bays without loss of armor, and enables the Kandosii to carry up to 300 fightercraft, rather than the original 128. Unfortunately, despite a new and improved hyperdrive system, the Kandosii's design still leaves it prone to having it's hyperdrive crippled by well place strikes, a trait which has baffled and infuriated MDY engineers to no end. Despite this, the vessel is still a very capable attack-vessel, and even more so when it has the support of a fleet to back up its aggressive assaults.

Inexpugnable Tactical Command Ship
A dedicated support vessel, the reprised Inexpugnable Tactical Command Ship acts as a command and control vessel, coordinating the actions of entire battle fleets through advanced logistical computers that further improve the Old Republic's revolutionary Vanjervalis Chain method. Using this method a single Inexpugnable can command up to thirty Capital class vessels and nearly a hundred cruisers at once, making it a deadly adversary for its strategic value alone. Because of this, these vessels are often crewed by the higher ranking naval officers and cadres of True Mandalorian troopers, a nasty surprise for those looking to board the vessel. Armaments wise, the vessel is only relatively more armed than the standard cruiser, somewhat of a design flaw for a vessel of its size, but it makes up for its lack of firepower with more than capable shielding and capital-class armoring. The vessel also boasts the latest in Tarisan Hypernautics' Ion Drives, as well as a backup hyperdrive in case the primary is damaged or inoperable. While it may not have the immediate firepower to contend with fellow capital ships or Star Destroyers, the Inexpugnable does have a complement of fighter craft capable of fending off attacking vessels.

Imperial-I Star Destroyer
Relatively unchanged from original designs, the Imperial I serves a bit of a back-burner role, more of a PDF vessel than an actual vessel of the Fleets so to speak. This has lead to a somewhat interesting paradigm shift when looking at ISD crews of the GRM and Imperial Remnants. While it can be said that it's a pretty significant thing to be a crewman or captain of an ISD in the Remnants, in the GRM it has generally been considered the downturn of one's career, where a captain has been relegated to "Babysitting" planets. This leads to a rather vicious and uncompromising attitude from such captains, and has resulted in a number of situations where a GRM ISD has utilized far beyond excessive force to deal with potential issues, and has seen more than a few captains lose their bars after a tour of ISD duty.

Tector-class Star Destroyer
Another more recent addition to the fleets, the Tector is a vessel which while it does have significant firepower and armor, is unable to act independently due to its lack of starfighters. This has led to the vessel being in a bit of an interesting predicament, as while the captains of these vessels petition for it to remain in active fleet rotation, the inability to operate on its own as led many of the Senate to feel that the vessel should be relegated to defensive duties with the ISD-I. For now, the Tector remains an active participant of GRM Patrol Fleets, but the future is uncertain for this class of vessels.

Victory I Star Destroyer
Like the ISD-I, the Victory I has not changed in its design since the end of the Clone Wars, and like its fellow vessel, it has also been one of the vessels constructed to dedicated defensive duties. Unlike the ISD-I, however, the Victory still has operational effectiveness compared to it's fellow pre-GRM vessels. The reason for this is the tendency for the vessel's shortcomings to be offset by operating in wolf-packs, something which while the ISD-I is more than capable of doing is far more organic to the size and firepower of the Victory I.

Victory II Star Destroyer
Despite technically being a subclass of the Victory I, the Victory II's refitment enables it to pass the GRNA's requirements for active patrol duty with the rest of the GRM fleet. This is primarily due to the inclusion of a more varied and effective armament than its predecessor, as well as the improved ion drives, making it faster and more capable of taking out enemy vessels than the Victory I. Like the Victory I, the vessel tends to operate in wolf-packs of three to five such vessels, making a run-in with one of these GRM Patrol Fleets a rather unfortunate scenario indeed.

Military:

My Hider

Made up entirely of reprogrammed CIS remnants, the Black Hand's military is nothing more than thousands upon thousands of droids and old Confederacy ships repaired to be at full combat effectiveness. The exact number of droids is unknown, as it is constantly growing, but rumored to be in the millions, though that hardly compensates for the low efficiency of the battle droids. These droids consist almost entirely of OOM-series battle droids, but there are also many B2 Super Battle Droids.

Ground Forces: (No Numbers)

AATs (Armored Assault Tanks)
MTTs (Multi-Troop Transports)
NR-N99 Persuader-class droid enforcers
B1 Battle Droids
OOM-Series Battle Droids
B2 Super Battle Droids
Reaper Droids (Explained in Other: Section)

Navy:

2 Orbital Droid Factories (Equipped with Hyper Drives)

1 Lucrehulk Droid Control Ship
2 Lucrehulk Battleships
20 Providence-class carrier/destroyers
50 Munificent-class star frigate

Many ships carry hundreds of Vulture Droids and Hyena Bombers, HMP droid gunships, and many C-9979 landing craft to transport the droids to and from the battlefield, as well as quickly set up fortresses at their place of landing.

History:

My Hider

The Black Hand was created by a Sith Apprentice, Luna Bell, who escaped the control of her cruel master. Her master was a self proclaimed Sith who walked his own path, and refused to get involved with the clone wars. She was discovered by the twin brothers Khagoria and Rhendar. The two helped Bell get even further away from her master, who was no doubt searching for her. The two quickly became like brothers to the young Sith girl, and found her to be far more powerful than even she knew. Bell quickly developed her force based abilities, and considered herself Sith even though she did not believe in the things her master had taught her. As she grew with her powers, she began training the twin brothers in the ways of the force, and soon enough they too came to call themselves Sith, apprentices of the smaller, but far more powerful girl.

Together the three discovered a long lost battlefield in which the Confederate fleet had clearly lost, but not all had been destroyed. They found a damaged, but easily repairable Munificent-class star frigate, with thousands of battle droids on board which had long since lost all power. The three went to work, stealing what they needed from all sorts of people, from merchant ships to small stations. Soon enough they had the ship operational, and the battle droids began charging again. They worked quickly to reprogram all of the droids at once, and by time the droids were ready to be activated, they were all under the control of Bell and her apprentices.

This was the simple beginnings of the Black Hand, and this stroke of luck was but the first in a long chain of events that continued to grow the power of the group. Bell lead her apprentices around the galaxy, searching for and actually finding even more forgotten battlefields, and with them, more abandoned ships and droids. Their biggest find however, was almost an entire fleet, that had not been abandoned, but rather shut down. It wasn't clear to them what had happened, but the entire fleet seemed to be simply sitting in formation, as if they had been waiting for far too long, and finally lost all power. The fleet consisted of two Lucrehulk Battleships, a Lucrekulk Control Ship, and many other Confederate cruisers and frigates.

To say luck was on their side was putting it lightly, as their fleet grew larger and larger. When the fleet had reached its current size, Bell caught wind of some rumors about her master, a Sith who had been captured, and was being held captive by Republic Remnants. He had turned himself into them and was being transported to a prison when Bell discovered their location. It wasn't very difficult to move her fleet into position and cut them off. The fleet came out of warp to the full might of the Black Hand. Bell's Master was taken from the Republic remnants just before they were completely annihilated. Bell's master was almost immediately executed aboard Bell's flagship, his body being thrown out into space where it would be lost forever.

The fleet set in coordinates and immediately jumped back to the dark corners of space, or so they thought. A droid completely miscalculated the jump, and the fleet ended up coming out with Taris in sight. They had no time to run before the Mandalorian fleet arrived. Bell simple told them what had happened, that they never intended to come here and it was a mistake made by a malfunctioning droid. The fleet was far more trusting with her than she had expected them to be, and she was even offered a chance to come and speak to the leadership of 'The Enclave'.

It had been a long, long time since Bell had been around anyone other than the two people she knew as her elder brothers, and she was nervous about meeting such an important group of people. When she arrived she was accompanied by her two apprentices and five unique Battle Droids that were a complete mystery to the Mandalorians, and had to wait by the ship due to the dark nature of these droids.

Bell met with the girl known as Requiem, and the two went off to do their own thing starting with a tour of the Enclave while her apprentices were left to the meeting. During the meeting, they were asked very simple questions. Where they came from, what their intentions were, why they had a fleet so large. In the end, the brothers gave up the story about their master, the young girl who was alone in the galaxy, and felt as if the universe was out to destroy her.

To their surprise, they were offered a home on Mandalore, a place to settle their fleet and build their own base. The twins knew exactly what Bell needed, and made a counter offer.

The brothers offered their full allegiance to Mandalore, claiming they would become the 'Black Hand of Mandalore', and would offer all of their military strength when Mandalore needed it, if they offered the same protection in return. It was quickly agreed upon, and the Black Hand became an official part of Mandalore. They were given one of Taris' moons, Ishtara, a frozen wasteland. They were given a choice and this was the home they had decided on, knowing that, as strange as it seemed, it was what Bell would want.

The Mandalorians aided in the creation of the first generators for the city to be, which was to be built in a massive underground cavern, the ground, walls and ceiling made entirely of ice. Since then, Bell and her apprentices have become important figures within the Enclave. Seeing herself as unfit to have apprentices, the being known as The Cold Void gave up her apprentices, having Bell become their master instead. Bell's own apprentices were bumped up the latter to full Sith Inquisitors, although, as with everything in the Black Hand, it was simply a name and they were not truly Sith.

Bell recently moved to the underground spire on Ishtara with her two apprentices, Solace and Requiem, as well as her apprentices, and perhaps soon enough the galaxy will see that she has big plans for all.

My Hider

Reaper droids are a special type of droids developed by Bell herself, with the help of her more tech knowledgeable apprentices. The droids are made of a dark black metal, with glowing red eyes to give them an ominous appearance. However, this is more than just some sort of trickery. These droids are, in their very being, dark constructs. Seeming to be somehow infused with the dark side as if it is a viable energy, these droids are like shadows.

These droids are smart, clever, and dangerous. Their greatest strength is their ability to wield lightsabers.

Reaper droids dual wield lightsabers with 'fake' crystals.

GX1-Series Battle Droid

Purchased from Trang Robotics, the United Republic GX1s serve a similar purpose to the Trade Federation's Droidekas, as Heavy shock infantry, and unlike the original models, have been modified with an extra set of blasters hidden within their arms. In its five years of service, the URA's GX1 has proven to be a far more superior and versatile battle droid in intelligence and tactics then to their federation counterparts. Despite their success rate, the GX1s serving in the United Republic Army are unfortunately limited in numbers, and often are reserved for the more Veteran Army Units, none the less, the GX1s are valuable assets on the battlefield.

Centurion-Series Battle Droid

Command Centurion leading MKIs
The Centurion Series are a Product of the of the local Grumani Corporation, Ventruun Arms. The Centurions first made their appearance four years ago during the Second Fiviune Campaign, and while not up to par with the GX1, had proven itself against the Federation's legions.

The Centurion Battle Droids were built with two models in mind, the standard green plated soldier models, and the slightly more sophisticated red plated Command model to which it's name implies, commands and directs the soldier models.

Nilashian Militiamen
Although for a short period the Planetary Security Forces seemed to be a thing of the past with the dawn of a more centralized military, a local defense force was still very much needed in these dark, uncertain times. As such the United Militias were born.

The United Militias operate similarly to their predecessors, but are more well equipped and have the support of by the Army and Navy. Each Star System in the Grumani Sector operates and maintains a United Militia Force. In times of war, the United Militias serve as Auxiliary forces alongside Army units.

United Republic Navy

Over the years since its foundation, the United Republic Navy has become a hodgepodge of starships of various backgrounds, from old starships left over from the Planetary Security Forces and the CIS Occupiers, to ships built by young native companies emerging in the Sector, and ships bought by larger corporations such as the Corellian Engineering Corporation.

Republican Guard

The Republican Guard are an Elite Corps who's ranks consist of the best of the best from all corners of the Military, from the regulars, rangers, marines, and even militiamen. The Republican Guard are based on Ventruun, and form the first line of defense for the Capital, the Senate, and the President himself.

History:
With the fall of the Republic, hundreds of sectors now had to fend for themselves, even more so for those in the Outer Rim Territories, what little presence the Republic had in the Outer Rim had now once for all was lost. The first few years were particularly harsh for the peoples of the Outer Rim, Many sectors now engaged in warfare amongst themselves, both out and within, others under attack by pirates and raiders, and the Trade Federation was slowly encroaching the southern regions. Few sectors were able to stand tall against the chaos, Grumani was among those few. Following the Republic's Downfall, the Leaders of the Grumani Governments immediately begun to organize a plan for the coming years and t push out the CIS presence in Grumani. Simultaneously all the systems in the Sector rose up in open rebellion against the CIS garrisons, The rebellion, while successful, was very bloody, many losses were taking, but it was a necessary sacrifice. The Grumani Sector soon became a sovereign entity and as such, they begun to fortify their borders and militarize. As a first step, The collective Planetary Security Forces of the Grumani Sector were merged and reorganized into the United Grumani Armed Forces, three months after the formation of the Military, the leaders of the Sector officially announced the establishment of the United Republic of Grumani, with Ventruun proclaimed Capital of the United Republic.

For a good few years, seven years after the fall, the URG along with few others were shining beacons of Hope and Order in the Outer Rim. Worlds, systems and sectors looking to them for aid and leadership, and with Grumani along the path of a few of the Hyperspace Lanes, it also became a Center of Commerce and Trade in the South. This rather short time of prosperity came to an unfortunate end once the Trade Federation begun an invasion of the Grumani Sector, after years of carving through and covertly controlling the Southern Mid Rim sectors, the Federation launched an all-out attack on the Northern Stellar Border of the Sector.

The first five months of the war were bloody for the URG, as they fought a losing Campaign for the Aquilaris System and were slowly pushed back by the superior numbers of the federation. Despite the losses, the United Grumani Military continued on the fight against the Federation till the soon-to-be-famed War Hero, Admiral Risa Kanu, would take command.

Under her leadership, morale improved for the Grumani Military, for what they lacked in numbers, were soon made up for her guerrilla tactics. For a month Kanu's fleet was slowly wearing down the Federation Invasion fleet, while the Ground Campaign on Aquilaris Minor had been effected by the sudden turn around as federation ground forces were now without Orbital support and no constant flow of reinforcements, giving the garrisons stationed on the planet the much needed morale boost to push back the enemy.

It wasn't long before reinforcements arrived for defenders, the Grumani Navy and Army were able to put up an fight against the federation in the famous Fourth Battle of Aquilaris Minor. Hundreds of Ships on both sides locked in fierce combat over the planet, while the Grumani and Federation Armies fought their final battle at the Capital City of Qinlo. The Space Battle lasted for nearly a day, while the battle for the Capital City lasted for a four days.

In the aftermath, the Grumani United Republic was victorious, but the danger was far from over. For the last Twelve years, the URG and the Federation had been in a permanent state of war as the two sides often engaged each other, from small skirmishes, to full blown battles and campaigns.

In the present day, thanks in part of the Aquilaris Campaign, the URG has emerged into Regional Power status as it struggles to survive in a chaotic Galaxy.

The Ishkar Consortium

Overview: The Ishkar Consortium is an rogue nation composed of the remnants of the Gen'Dai race, led by the Ak'rathal clan leader "Mercurius". Existing from the shadows of the Deep Core, the Consortium grew in power and rebuilt the former glory of the Gen'Dai race in secret. For thousands of years, the Consortium gathered resources and connections from the other sectors of the galaxy to lead up to the power they have now. By the end of the Clone Wars the Iskhar Consortium holds a massive amount of influence, power, and resources from the Deep Core to the Core Worlds. Unlike the reputation the non-Consortium Gen'Dais established, they are well disciplined, philosophically enlightened and organized.

Due to the Ishkar Consortium's isolationist mandate, direct contact with the rest of the galaxy is prohibited. As a workaround to this mandate, a forward operation called Kuvari Syndicate was formed.

Capital: Byss
Holdings: Sector 5 - (Beshqek system, Empress Teta system, Odik system, Praklith system, Jerrilek system, Iope System, Kuar System, Symbia system, Keeara Major system) Ruan system and Foerost system.

Government Type: Authoritarian Empire
Nation Leader: Mercurius Ak'rathal

Ishkar Consortium History

-

A peaceful species, the Gen'Dai practiced a philosophy of "perfection of permanence", a belief that all change is an illusion. Because of this the Gen'Dai philosophers preached that taking an active role in anything was pointless and detrimental. Having no official government or organization structure following the destruction of their homeworld, the Gen'Dai embraced the spirit of nomadic living and journeyed the stars largely in isolation. As their lifespans were so long, ranging from 4,000 years to over 7,000, Gen'Dai rarely reproduced and had an exceptionally low birth rate.

While the population as a whole was made up of philosophers, the older population suffered from mental deterioration which led to a pronounced increase in violent tendencies. These rogues tended to take jobs as mercenaries and bounty hunters, poorly representing the species as cruel, heartless savages.

But unlike the other clans that blindly accepted their corrupted endings, the Ak'rahtal clan had their own interpretation of the philosophy and was more active in the betterment of their species. As the only line of Gen'Dais who are force sensitive, they took it upon themselves to bring order from the chaos caused by their long life. From acting peacekeepers to well educated mentors; the Ak'rathal clan's action was always for the improvement of their race.

The cause of the Ak'rathal was noble, but it wasn't for long that their actions drew the attention of the Sith. Seeing a potential threat if ever their species sided with the Jedi Order, the Sith Empire destroyed the Gen'Dai homeworld and hunted them down one by one. In a desperate act of saving their kin from utter extinction, Mercurius gathered his clansmen and began on evacuating Ak'rathal colonies far away from the proximity of the Sith's fury.

Colonies after colonies was evacuated, but still even with much dedication, time was against them. The Sith still managed to catch up, those who weren't evacuated in time were subjugated by the Sith or was executed. Those who have escaped, those who survived, bore in their minds a hatred for the Sith Empire which would have lasted and be passed on for generations to come. The fleet of Gen'Dai remnants gathered by the Jaxus system in the Core Worlds before fading into the warping space of the Deep Core.

From the isolated peace brought by the chaotic nature of the Deep Core space, they began on reconstructing their society, hoping that one that one day they would rise again and be part of the galactic community without fearing persecution. Decades after decades have passed and the remnants grew wondrously in isolation from the rest of the galaxy, and became more centralized than before.

From the ashes of their nomadic traditions was the rise of the Ishkar Consortium; united clans of the Gen'Dai race led by the Ak'rathal clan. The Ak'rathal implemented strict discipline and rigorous devotion to the betterment of their race, causing the Consortium generation Gen'Dais to be extremely patriotic to the cause of their reborn nation. A society led by enlightenment and military might was the ideal community the Ak'rathal envisioned for the remnants of their race, and was enacted when they came into power.

As the years passed, the Consortium watched over the galaxy, waiting for the time to reveal themselves while establishing long lasting connections across the galaxy. But as what their ancient principle stated the galaxy never really changed, it was an illusion. Conflicts continued on, and the persecution of species after species continued. This state of the galaxy made the Consortium to decide on continuing their isolated existence, until the galaxy learns how to keep a lasting peace.

A decade before the Clone Wars have occurred, the Ishkar Consortium formed the Kuvari Syndicate, a forward operation of the Consortium that acts as an avenue for military training, exotic resource gathering and technological improvement. The syndicate came into existence around the Empress Teta system where they were contracted by the local government to act as a professional military body if needed to, in exchange for unhindered access to the system space or resources. Following the years that led up to the start of the Clone Wars, the Kuvari became an accepted entity on the planet and was treated as policing body; rather than a criminal organization that the Kuvari wanted to appear.

The syndicate continued on maintaining its appearance as a roguish organization; when in reality, its main purpose of being involved in illegal acts is to avoid any legal traces that might lead back to the existence of their nation in the Deep Core.

During the onslaught of the Second Battle for Coruscant, a forward fleet of the Consortium searching for the old Gen'Dai homeworld, accidentally hyperjumped upon the construction site of the first Death Star. They immediately received hostile fire from the station's defense fleet, but their numerous ships and superior boarding forces overwhelmed the defenders. Upon capturing the station, several weapon and ship blueprints was collected from the data banks, including several assets essential for the further construction of the station. When the Republic fell soon after, the fleet brought the unfinished station to the Jaxus system, where its construction was continued. With the system being deleted from starmap data banks centuries before by Mercurius himself, the station experienced unhindered construction. In less than five galactic years the station was finished and was renamed to "Karnassus" -- after the lost name of their former homeworld. The station was then brought to the Deep Core where it is being used for unknown purposes.

In the aftermath of the fall of the Republic, a chance to secure a foothold on Core Worlds became apparent to the Consortium. With the help of the data banks in the unfinished Death Star, the first course of action was establishing the Consortium's capital on Byss. Due to the system being well hidden and unreachable without the right coordinates, it was the perfect capital for the isolationist Gen'Dai. In less than ten galactic years, the Consortium have established great industries in Byss that would have taken decades if not for the locations of untapped resources provided by the Death Star databanks.

During the conquest to Byss, the Consortium passed upon the Odik system. Odik, a known sector headquarters for the 5th Sector Army of the Republic, was completely abandoned by the time Consortium forces took over the planet. Hundreds of empty Venator and Acclamator class ships were docked, including thousands of complementary military assets sitting still, collecting space dust. Comm records showed that the skeleton crew of the planet was recalled when Coruscant was attacked, leaving the station to be maintained by service droids. After securing Byss, majority of the military assets salvaged from Odik was transferred to the Kuvari Syndicate, reinforcing the organization with professional utilities. Odik then became the fortress world for the Consortium, overseeing the lane leading to Byss.

Empress Teta soon became a heavily militarized system, following the colonization of Byss. Now acting as a homebase for Kuvari forces and undercover Consortium agents, Empress Teta received an influx of citizens wishing to enlist themselves to the Kuvari. As an acting gateway to the Deep Core, the Ruan system was also brought under the Kuvari Syndicate's control, with every production companies and facilities along with it.

After Ruan, The Foerost system became the next part of the Syndicate's plan. By the end of the Republic's reign, Foerost became an ideal target for raiders and those wishing to take advantage of their shipyards. Seeing that an allegiance with the Kuvari is the only way for securing protection, they turned the rights of the Foerost shipyards and several other world based companies to the Kuvari. With the shipyards on their hands, the Kuvari began production of their own line of ships and spacecrafts; mostly from the finished prototype designs salvaged from the Death Star. In time Foerost prospered under the unofficial rule of the Kuvari over their planet, while the autonomous government of the planet turned lax.

Consortium Sentinels: The bulk of the Consortium's army. These units undergo 50 years of military training, though most of the time they spend 100-150 due to their long life and their innate thirst for learning. Sentinels are volunteers from the Gen'Dai society, though from time to time, the government and clan leaders draft certain individuals who shows exceptional skills in combat.

Equipments: Weapon loadout varies, except for the Vibroblade and the DC-17 Hand Blaster. Upon capturing Odik, several Republic class equipments were salvaged and was issued to Consortium and Kuvari forces, including phased-out armor types. Reverse engineering the equipment, Consortium manufacturers were able to customize the Katarn-class armor to suit Gen'Dai preference.

Scarlet Blades: An army of elite Gen'Dai troopers fully devoted to the Consortium's cause. These units are trained by Gen'Dai specialists who were considered to be at the top of their trade in a variety of fields. Forces in this group well surpasses the abilities of the ARC Troopers, Noghri assassins, and even the most renown bounty hunters around the galaxy. They usually operate along with their apprentice, though sometimes they are required to work in squads. They follow a mentor-student mentality, so that eventually they pass down their knowledge to the next generation of the Scarlet Blades, increasing the effectiveness per generation as centuries pass.

These units are equipped with custom Gen'Dai armors and utilities commonly found on an assassin or bounty hunter's arsenal. Weapon wise, these forces are allowed to freely select their own weapon of choice from the armory, provided their efficiency does not decrease due to their choice.

---

Ishkarian Saberguards: In response to the threat that almost decimated their entire population after the Great Hyperspace War, the Saberguards were formed. Specializing in the arts of lighsaber dueling, these are the Gen'Dai's vanguards against its force and lightsaber wielding opponents. They are usually assigned with the peacekeeping in the Gen'Dai society, eliminating members that are experiencing cases of psychosis. These units are equipped with ornate Gen'Dai armors, lightsabers made from lignan crystals, and 2 blaster pistols holstered behind their backs.

---

Ishkarian Dreadguards: An order composed of veterans from the Saberguards, they are known to be extremely deadly and loyal only to the Consortium's leader. Once a member of the guards show signs of mental deterioration, the individual is immediately executed by the other members; to contain a possible threat to the Gen'Dai society and the galaxy. They are equipped with ornate dreadguard armors and helmets reinforced by cortosis-weaving. They also have a light shield, an EE-3 Carbine Rifle and a Sith lightsaber for equipment. With a maximum lifespan of 7,000 years, these warriors have enough time to master all of the techniques used by the Jedi's and the Sith. A single Dreadguard is capable of matching 2 to 3 Jedi/Sith opponents at a time. Only six Saberguards are given the title of being an Ishkarian Dreadguard.

The Kuvari Syndicate

The Kuvari Syndicate

Overview: The Kuvari Syndicate is infamous in the criminal underground for being involved in every known type of illegal activity, though never incriminated as one due to its strict contract protocols. Having infiltrated several major governments, companies, and organizations, its information networks well surpasses the accuracy and scope of Imperial Intelligence and the Bothan Spynet. Unlike some other criminal organizations, the Kuvari Syndicate has a legitimate branch of the organization. Under the name of Blaxis Industries, it owns large-scale companies along with multiple smaller companies of various degrees of legality. Those companies produced battle droids, weapons, starships, and equipment--mostly for the Consortium and Syndicate's use. The resources available to Kuvari rivaled those belonging to a large planetary army, including foot soldiers and starships. By the time the galaxy has settled after the Republic's fall, the Kuvari Syndicate has become more of a private military organization.

Due to the organization adapting an Empire-like theme, they are commonly mistaken to be affiliated with the remnants of the Empire.

Specialization: Information Trading, Gunrunning, Contract Killing, Artifact and Resource Smuggling.

Kuvari Syndicate Forces



Kuvari Troopers - Recruited from Kuvari controlled territories (mostly from Empress Teta), these troopers are one of the most well trained military force in the galaxy. Trained by Consortium Gen'Dai agents under the guise as bounty hunters, these soldiers are given lessons of military skills and techniques honed in centuries of experience and training by the Gen'Dai remnants. They are outfitted with Carbonite-reinforced Stormtrooper armors and weapons salvaged from Odik.

---

Kuvari Sector-Peacekeepers - Troops belonging to this unit are tasked with keeping peace on Kuvari controlled territories. Though they receive the same training as the Troopers, they are taught to focus on Urban-warfare tactics; making them very effective on defending territories under the protection of the Kuvari. They wear Republic/Imperial Scout trooper armor reinforced by Carbonite. Common weapons carried by the peacekeepers are close-quarter combat flamethrowers, assault blaster rifles and vibroblades (long).

---

Kuvari Enforcers - These units have proven their extreme loyalty and devotion to the organization that they have been absorbed as a public extension of the Consortium's power in the Syndicate. Though they are supplied with the knowledge of the existence and their servitude to the Consortium, they are kept from the knowledge of where it exists. They act as an internal peace keeping force for the Syndicate, as well as the superior fighting force when other branches fail. Enforcers are equipped with Durasteel plated armors, a DL-18 Blaster Pistol, a WESTAR-M5 Blaster Rifle, thermal grenades, and Vibroblade gauntlets. These units are further trained by Gen'Dai specialists.

---

Sundered Wings Company - A collection of bounty hunters, mercenaries, ex-republic troopers, and smugglers, working for the Kuvari Syndicate. They are responsible running the Syndicate's raiding operations. They are outfitted with their own personal equipment as though they work for the Syndicate, they are individually responsible for facing authorities crossed when doing their missions.

---

Maladian Death Squad - A splinter group from the Maladian cult that vowed their loyalty to the Kuvari's cause; at a price. They fulfill the majority of the Kuvari's assassination contracts.

The Ertocia

A heavily modified Ithorian Herdship infamous for being the largest mobile entertainment palace in the galaxy. It is well known for its Zeltron entertainers, Falleen waitresses, and Twi'lek dancers. The ship also acts not only as glorified club, but also as a mobile HQ for the undercover agents of the Ishkar Consortium. Under its disguise, the syndicate managed to infiltrate several systems from the Core Worlds, to the Outer Rim. It is publicly owned by Mistress Tilani, an agent of the Ishkar.

Organization Name: Trade Federation

Profession:Originally a commerce guild.

Affiliation: CIS

Leader: Nute Gunray

Persons of Importance: Lott Dod,Rune Haako, Poggel the Lesser

Military Assets:B-Series battle droids,OOM-series battle droids,Droidekas,Beetle Droids,AATs,Vulture droids,HAG,Manta droids starfighters, Lucrehulk-Class battleships, (These are main things there are more)

Civilian Assets:Baktoid Armor Workshop,Neimoidia and it's purse worlds (Cato,Deko and Koru Neimoidia)Geonosis, Mustafar,Naboo,Coruscant. (Unknown trade routes hidden from public records.)

Brief History: Founded in 350 BBY as a commercial guild with it's own trade fleet. It was lead by the viceroy and a directorate. It become one of the largest trade organizations in the galaxy providing shipping to and from the outer rim. It was able to control massive star route and systems under it's control through the flow of trade. With how much power and sway the Trade federation had it was able to gain a seat in the senate. Eventually the neimoidians came to dominate the Trade Federation. Nute Gunray was able to kill the 6 directorates who stood against him and replaced them with his own puppets.

In 28 BBY under the influence of Darth Sidious he lead a blockade over Naboo. His reason within the senate was to protest the tax on the Free Trade Zone. After being thwarted by the jedi and learning that the sith now lead the senate he easily rallied to Count Dooku's call on Raxus Prime and was the main investor in the CIS armies.

In 22 BBY when the clone wars started he was on Geonosis along with his separatist council members. He was able to get away and began leading his own campaigns on countless worlds throughout the clone wars. When Dooku left the CIS and General Grievous took over he protested highly against letting the general lead the CIS however he was out matched and continued to lead the council.

When the glassing of coruscant came he was less the happy he knew the planet was key to winning the war and that it would split up the various systems. He was even less happy when the General took most of the power out of the separatist council. However the republic was defeated and he lead the galaxy in trade even if they didn't want it. His influence grew and many star systems whether they liked the CIS or not needed him and the goods he could deliver.

He may have lost some systems here or there but his trade influence was limitless and the General proved to be a great enforcer of the CIS which also meant an enforcer for the trade federation. Currently he prepares warships on the edge of the Corusca-Braxant Empire's border along with developing new weapons.

Other:Nute would be considered 2iC to Greivous as he gave the most battledrois and starships of all separatist council he was also the leader of it before it was destroyed.

The Hexarchy

Organization/Nation Name: The Hexarchy of the Ilythiiri

Overview:
The Hexarchy has long lived beyond the scope of 'civilised space', with its influence extending like tendrils into the territories of the former Republic. The Hexarchy itself is a small nation beyond Republican borders, but they are more like a syndicate rather than a real nation. They do not control directly - they pull puppet-strings... and cut them if they are opposed in any way. More than one system's ruler has been mysteriously removed and replaced by an unknown force, but almost none know the true reasoning. The Hexarchy operates in the shadows, and few in Republic space know of them - those who do tread lightly around them, for they know that they can be the Hexarchy's next target for 'removal'. The Hexarchy has been fighting a long, drawn-out "war" with the Corporate Sector Authority, a war that they have been using to force the Corporate Sector to become a puppet of Arvyn, and it is a war that they are on the verge of winning, with the majority of the corporations in the CSA under Hexarchic control, whether they know it or not.

Specialisation: Stygium mining and supplies, assassination, security, removal and planting of puppet governments, bounty hunting... basically anything on the shady side of the law.

Headquarters: Arvyn, the Black Planet, in the system of Karthinir.

Races of Importance: Ilythiiri, Humans

Persons of Importance

The Council of Six

Ilharess Jhulva Aleaniryn, First of Six and Leader of the Council
Ilharess Irroyes My'athar, Second of Six
Ilharess Nathyrra Kilath, Third of Six
Lord High Admiral Konstantin Koslenko, Fourth of Six and Commander of the Hexarchic Navy
Ilharess Sinvyl Barit'tar, Fifth of Six
Ilharess Ilyssyr El'Anadar, Sixth of Six

The Fifth Council was inaugurated in the year 1500 of the Hexarchic Reckoning, following the honorary Ceremony of Divine Right which takes place every 300 years. The Council of Six serves as the ultimate legislative and executive body that rules over all of the Hexarchy by the edicts set out in the Concordat of Lolth, which dictate that all actions of the Council must be for the good of the race and not motivated by selfish concerns - whilst power is nearly everything to the Ilythiiri, the power of the race as a whole comes first and foremost, and the status of the Hexarchy on the global stage must not be allowed to fall into decline. The Council meets daily in the chambers of Kamriir Tower, a colossal structure that dominates the centre of the city of Renorchu'tgera, and they meet to discuss matters of state both internal and external. The Ilythiiri believe that the Council is granted the divine right to rule by the goddesses Lolth and Eilistraee, and by virtue of this divine right, the members of the Council of Six are seen as the living voices of the Pantheon in the mortal plane. Some claim this truly to be the case and the Council really is guided by the gods above, but few know for sure.

HEXARCHIC TERRITORY:
The System of Karthinir - The heart of the Hexarchy.

The Planet of Arvyn

Arvyn is a black, rain-drenched rock, but it is in the myriad of caverns, underground seas and oceans that twist and stretch all through the planet's crust that are home to its indigenous lifeforms. Arvyn's surface infrastructure is now mostly dedicated to protecting and serving the many passages to and from the Subterranean, which is what the Ilythiiri call the caverns beneath the surface. Arvyn's atmosphere is breathable, but little sunlight reaches the ground, absorbed into the thick cloud layers that make up the vast majority of the atmosphere (that isn't space) and seemingly forever plunge the planet's surface into deluges of rainfall. Arvyn's ecosystem is likewise strange - though little lives on the surface, the rainwater that filters and percolates through the ground above is the source of life for the Subterranean and serves as the source of water for the underground. Every now and then, caverns flood and are lost beneath rising water levels, but for each cavern that floods, the Ilythiiri drain several more.

Arvyn has two moons; Porolis, which is the closer moon, and Gornil, which is the further. Porolis is a haven of activity for the mercenary community, whilst Gornil is the centre for the Hexarchy's naval forces, led by Lord High Admiral Konstantin Koslenko, Fourth of the Six. Gornil, as the fleet's central command HQ, is heavily defended and shielded from enemy fire, with weapons batteries that put Star Destroyers to shame. It is safe to say that Gornil, although not completely indestructible, would be nigh-impossible for any force to capture without incurring severe, if not critical losses. Gornil also serves as a defender to the Black Planet itself, which, although shielded, has comparatively few defence batteries and relies more on its shield to escape bombardments from hostile ships.

Lirdan Station & Korovyr Naval Base

Lirdan Station is the major starbase that controls access to and from Arvyn's space. Lirdan Station itself is a large commercial station that is frequented by many merchant ships travelling to and from the planet of Arvyn, and acts as a trading hub that also serves as a customs station. All ships that want to enter Arvyn's orbit must report to Lirdan Station, regardless of their affiliation, contents or even ship class. Lirdan Station is protected by several rings of defences, as well as it's sister station, Korovyr Naval Base.

Korovyr Naval Base (or KNB to most) is bristling with guns and is able to supply many ships at once. A purely military base, KNB is off-limits to non-military personnel except under very particular circumstances. KNB's dockyards are capable of building ships up to the heavy cruiser level and can refit almost any ship in the fleet. KNB's primary role is both fleet maintenance and the defence of Lirdan Station, and is superbly equipped for both, with weapons batteries and shield arrays that rival even Gornil's defensive systems.

The Planet of Kadern

Kadern, like Arvyn, is considered by many to be an inhospitable world. It is, by all accounts, a frozen ball of ice and snow, which rarely sees temperatures above freezing outside of a thin line around the equator of the planet. The atmosphere was originally mostly nitrogen and helium, but terraforming has introduced sufficient levels of oxygen into the air, allowing for the colonisation of the planet without the need for sealed breathing apparatus. Kadern has no natural wildlife, owing to the cold temperatures and severe lack of oxygen, and much of the planet is devoted simply to industrial production. In orbit of the planet is the headquarters of the Hexarchic Navy, known as Qantyr Naval Base, and several important shipyards and spacedocks for the maintenance and refitting of old Navy shipping.

The Rizolvi Asteroid Belt

The Gas Giant of Tyrolia

The Gas Giant of Pathris

The System of Perdasil - The economic muscle of the Hexarchy.

The Planet of Ryzdan

Ryzdan is a temperate world that is unremarkable in almost every way, except for one critical thing - it's rich supply of stygium crystals. Previously only said to be found on two planets, it seems that Ryzdan and it's sister planets didn't perhaps catch the memo, as Ryzdan in particular is the site of extensive stygium mining which fuels the Hexarchic war machine and powers their stealth technologies. As a result of Ryzdan's stygium mines, the Hexarchy has become used to running supplies of stygium beneath the radar and into Republic space for those who are willing to pay enough for it.

The Planet of Perdasil III

Brief History:

Other:

And now, to confuse you all, an organisation within it.

51st

Organization Name: The 51st Squad, Hexarchic Special Operations Executive, commonly referred to as either the 51st SOE or just the 51st.

Profession: Assassinations, sabotage, murder, infiltration, weapons smuggling, drug trafficking, anything that you require... as long as the Council of Six agrees.

Affiliation: Officially, the 51st are commanded only by the Council. They are Hexarchic citizens first and foremost. They do the Council's bidding solely and do not answer to any other authority. To arrange for the 51st to undertake a mission for you, you must first contact the Council of Six, comprised of the six most powerful heads of house of the Ilythiiri. The Council must then agree to assist you in your endeavours by sending in the 51st if it is of sufficient importance. If the Council does not deem it necessary, the 51st will not be deployed to support you, but they might be deployed to remove you if you spread the word about them...

Squad Roster:

Commander Vierinissa Aleaniryn -

Name: Commander Vierinissa Neerdril Aleaniryn, Vice Admiral Aleaniryn of the Fifth Operations Fleet

Species: Noble Ilythiiri

Age: 223

Gender: Female

Appearance: Vierinissa cuts an imposing figure in her uniform. Standing at six feet tall, she has long snow-white hair that falls to her shoulder blades and contrasts sharply with her anthracite-black skin. She has piercing red eyes that change intensity depending on her emotions, from a smouldering dark red when she is subdued or irritated, to a bright glowing crimson when she is angered or violent. Her frame is well-built, as befits a special forces soldier, and though the decades have taken their toll on her, she is still a highly energetic person who is almost always animated, and in the heat of battle can be seen to be always alert, forever on guard and always with a rifle in her hands.
Out of uniform, Vierinissa is a much more relaxed figure, usually to be seen in a pair of black trousers with a black open-chested leather jacket and white shirt underneath, with leather boots. She is almost never without her small hip-flask of morimatra, the ubiquitous Ilythiiric spiced wine, as well as a pair of sunglasses and her wrist-mounted Data Acquisition Device.

Affiliation: The Hexarchy of the Ilythiiri

Occupation: Commander of the 51st Squad of the Hexarchic Special Operations Executive, Vice Admiral in commanding of the Fifth Operations Fleet

Brief History:
Vierinissa Aleaniryn is by any standards a career soldier. Born into the highly prestigious House of Aleaniryn, she was raised from an early age by her mother and father to be a military person first and foremost. An only child, Vierinissa's birth was seen as both a relief and a worry for House Aleaniryn, which had had a dynastic crisis the past few generations, with few children being born, and the risk of the Matronage passing over to another branch of the family, and Vierinissa was the only chance that the primary branch of House Aleaniryn had of retaining the Matronage.

Aurelia Aleaniryn

Name: Aurelia Kyrranwyn Qilaste Aleaniryn

Species: Noble Ilythiiri

Age: 122

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Affiliation: The Hexarchy of the Ilythiiri

Occupation: Soldier in the 51st Squad, Hexarchic Special Operations Executive

Brief History:

Sabuit Aleaniryn

Name: Sabuit 'Sabi' Nhiliira Aleaniryn

Species: Noble Ilythiiri

Age: 115

Gender: Female

Physical Appearance

Sabuit has always been the 'little sister' to Aurelia, even in physical standing. Sabi is six feet and two inches, and weighs about 185 pounds. She has a slim build, focused more on agility and flexibility rather than strength and toughness.
