Department of Brotherhood History:
Clan Plagueis History

1—Introduction

Greetings, Dark Jedi of the Brotherhood.

This course is meant to teach you the history and inner workings of Clan Plagueis, the youngest clan in the Brotherhood. Throughout this course we will go over the clan’s history, government, and system, all in as much a shortened form as we can give you. Remember, however, that the most intimate details of Clan Plagueis remain guarded secrets and can only be accessed through the llibrary on Kapsina.

2—History

2.A—Formation

The history of Clan Plagueis actually goes back farther then 23 ABY, when the clan was created. In truth, it goes all the way back to the time of Clans Exar Kun and Satal Keto, the ‘parent clans’ of Clan Plagueis. After the Exodus, the two clans slowly started to grow weaker and weaker. In the year 23 ABY, they two clans were in a fierce battle with a group of pirates known as the Crimson Tide, and while they came out victorious, their numbers were drastically reduced. So weak were the clans that it seemed as though they would die altogether. The Star Chamber intervened and merged the two into one: Clan Plagueis. Through the Dictum of Two Skies, members fought for the right to join the new clan until finally it was ready.


At first the clan moved to the Acarr System, the previous home of Clan Exar Kun. Despite its location, the system was uninhabited due to the random ionic solar flares from the sun, as well as the dangerous Acarrian Terragots. Clan Plagueis was able to deal with the flares, and the Terragots were left to themselves. House Satal Keto set up base on Haven, House Exar Kun on Elysian, and Clan Plagueis itself on Byfrost. House Bane set up base on Eden, but was closed after only a year of existence. Its members were transferred to the other houses to make them stronger.

The clan stayed in Acarr for a year, but towards the turning of 24 ABY it had been discovered that Acarr, the star of the system, was greatly unbalanced and nearing supernova status.

After the death of their system, Clan Plagueis moved to the Jusadih System in the Core Worlds, not far from Coruscant. House Exar Kun settled on Aerun, House Satal Keto on Morroth, and the Clan headquarters was placed on Kapsina. Other planets of the Jusadih system include Shintera and Nintura, the latter once used by Wookiees in an effort to create a second Kashyyyk. It is in this system that the clan currently resides.

2.B—Great Jedi War

In 25 ABY, a mere two years after the formation of Clan Plagueis, the Sixth Great Jedi War erupted due to increasing tensions within the Brotherhood. When a clone of Grand Master Jac Cotelin, labeled the ‘Blue Jac,’ emerged and claimed himself to be the true Dark Lord of the Sith, Clan Plagueis sided with his opponent, the Red Jac, and went to war against the treacherous brethren that sided with the Blue Jac. After months of fighting, the true Jac finally emerged, but Clan Plagueis had already been devastated by the conflict.

Then, just as the clan returned to the Jusadih System to start rebuilding, rebels on Aerun attacked Diadem Fortress, the headquarters of House Exar Kun. Aided by rogue members of Clan Naga Sadow, they blasted through a wall and killed countless younglings and staff. Led by an Aerun known as Tib Aaron, as well as a Sith Battlelord, they were able to cause quite a bit of damage to the fortress. In the end, however, the Battlelord was killed, and Tib was hunted down and beheaded. Still, the damage would only add to that of the rest of the Great Jedi War.

2.C—Crimson Tide

The Crimson Tide, a large organization of pirates, are the sworn enemies of Clan Plagueis, and has put aside all others ventures, replacing them with the single goal of destroying the clan. During the course of its nearly one-hundred year history, the Tide has changed owners and business strategies several times, although it has always stayed within the Crimson Family. During its first encounter with the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, they were contracted to intercept a group of soldiers. At the time they were unaware that they were going to battle against Dark Jedi.

Calliban Crimson, however, the current leader of the Tide, took the job and went after his target. Even after learning that his target was Dark Jedi, he still continued on, unaware of just what he was getting himself into. He waged war against Clan Satal Keto, surprising them and causing a great deal of damage to the already weakened clan. The large force of the Crimson Tide was proving too much for the clan, and they called for help. Clan Exar Kun, despite not being too fond of Satal Keto, came to their aid. Together, they were able to push the pirates out of their space, destroying almost half of the Tide. Still, Calliban survived, and he had managed to cause more than enough damage.

The Tide retreated, regrouping and growing larger then before. Two years later, still under the command of Calliban, they attacked the now Clan Plagueis in the Acarr System. Unaware to them, however, the system’s star was going supernova, and as they once again battled the Dark Jedi, Clan Plagueis quickly evacuated the system. By the time Calliban realized his mistake, it was too late for most, though he was able to escape just in time. The rest of his fleet, however, did not escape, and was engulfed by the star.

All but wiped out, Calliban and the few who had escaped with him retreated to a distant planet, thought by some to be Dathomir, but this has not been confirmed. It is believed that they are slowly reforming and planning yet another attack on Clan Plagueis.

2.D—The Present

Since the Great Jedi War, Clan Plagueis has managed to remain at peace, trying to stay out of Brotherhood disputes, although they did participate in the Rite of Supremacy: Second Darkness. Slowly, the clan began to rebuild its strength and worked towards becoming an elite clan within the Brotherhood. Their first step was the creation of an elaborate cover for themselves: Sistros Acquisitions and Holdings. Now, they are training leaders and stronger members to reach their ultimate goal: domination.

Of special note in the young clan’s history, towards the end of 26 ABY, Consul Sarin became Deputy Grandmaster and then succeeded Jac Cotelin as Grandmaster of the Brotherhood.

3—Inner Workings

Though somewhat similar to other clans, the inner workings of Clan Plagueis have their own unique touch. Some information on the key components of the Clan may be found below.

3.A—Council of the Wise

The Council of the Wise was created to be an advisory board of experienced and respected clan members. It was designed to be a way of hearing from those who aren’t leaders, but are still much respected.

It consisted of five positions: Loremaster, Shadowmaster, Nightmaster,
