Abadeer Taasii was a loyal servitor of Plagueis. He worked hard in his short time to better the Clan and lead those that he chose as his new family. He is remembered by House Karness Muur, who grieve for their fallen Aedile. Abadeer lost his life like so many others, at the hands of the Dark Lord, Darth Pravus, himself. Abadeer bravely took on the Sith Lord to protect his allies, allowing them a chance to get off planet when all hope was lost. His life was spent so that many more could live on. Though he has no family that remember him on his home planet of Shilli, he will be remembered by those that he considered family in the end.

Today we mourn the passing of Battlemaster Taranae Rhode, Taskmaster of Clan Plagueis and friend to most, unless her ire was raised. Born on Naboo, she was a kind soul until she was separated from her family and she leaves behind a loving sister, Vanessa and a devoted Mother. Her power grew as she trained in the Dark Side, and she became a force to be reckoned with as she climbed the hierarchy of the Clan without pause. Holding positions on the summit of the Clan, she helped new recruits soar to great heights, mentoring students as she went. Kul'tak Drol being her finest achievment. Battleteam leader, Aedile, Quaestor and Rollmaster; she achieved all of these positions and performed admirably, receiving recognition from the Clan Summit and the dark Council. Now, she has been cut down in the prime of her life and service to the Clan as she fought bravely to end the tyranny of Darth Pravus, the Grand master of the Broherhood.

We commend her body to the stars and wish her a safe journey a she becomes one with the Force. may the Force speed you, Taranae

Kaeth, Braecen – With a brief moment of silence, we honor the fallen Dark Side Adept, Braecen Kaeth, born on Corellia in the first year after the Battle of Yavin. His journey took him from a playful youth Oceanside to a purposeful scholar of the Dark Arts of the Brotherhood. He is survived by his Apprentince, Alaris Jinn, and a cadre of dutiful lieutenants within House Galeres. Braecen worked with great enthusiasm on opening upstart Journeymen and Equites to their full potential in the Force. This work would start and stop within several Clans of the Brotherhood before he retired to focus on his work in Clan Arcona. His work served a great purpose, but was soon nullified in the conflict against the Grand Master as all were slain by the Grand Master and his Iron Legion. He enjoyed golf, bowling and his worship of the Lord, Wedge Antilles. A memorial service will be held in a fortnight aboard the Darkest Night, a flagship Braecen previously served aboard.

Abadeer dived behind a fallen pillar as a stream of lighting cut through the air above him. This Iktotchi was far too much for him. She’d been flipping and dancing all around him, and he couldn’t keep up. The Togruta poked his head over the top of the pillar, before immediately ducking back down as another bolt of Force powered lighting shot for his face.
Abadeer didn’t recognize the woman at all, but in the face of a battle such as this, he expected to be hunted. He was a commander within Plagueis’ forces after all, and assassination attempts were to be expected. If the commanders of the combined forces fell, then the assault against the Grand Master would fail. Taasii took a deep breath steeling himself for the fight to come. He rose tall from behind the pillar activating his twin sabers. Makashi had proven ineffective against the aerial assaults of the woman, but perhaps Jarkai could give the edge he needed.
Another bolt of lighting shot towards the Togruta’s body, which he used both sabers to absorb. Abadeer didn’t waste a moment before racing towards his opponent. One saber was kept at his front to defend any more incoming blows, the other held low and back getting ready to strike. The Iktotchi woman stood firm, her saber held low with one hand. Taasii focused on the Force, pulling the mystical power into his body, reinforcing his own strength. The Togruta leapt forward, and at the last second added a spin, both blades turning in a violet blur. The attack wasn’t nearly enough though, as the assassin stepped in, extended her blade and easily stopped the attack. She then crouched down, and flipped over Abadeer’s considerable height, then lashed out backwards as she landed. Taasii sensed the attack only moments before it landed, barely allowing time to for a block. Taasii jumped forward trying to gain some distance between himself and the assassin.
Taasii knew he was in trouble though, as he sensed the woman easily keeping up with his movements. He spun around to face his pursuer, but when he turned she wasn’t there. The tiniest shimmer to his left was the only warning he got before the Iktotchi rematerialized swinging right for his head. Abadeer again brought his blades to block the strike, but then the woman ripped around him attempting to land a series of continuous strikes.
Abadeer was not slow but he was having a hard time even staying faced towards the woman who was overwhelming him. What was he supposed to do?
