Dark Council
The Principate’s Pesky Problems Reveal The Collective’s Concealed Crimes

For months, the tight alliance between the Severian Principate has revolved around the exchange of goods, credits, and military equipment. And all this time, shipments sent to the Principate have gone missing.

Utilizing the Tenixir Revenants, the Collective has been stealing these goods, using the Brotherhood’s own manufacturing system to arm themselves. Luckily, following the recruitment of the Quantum Shadows on Coruscant, the Revenants realized the Brotherhood were not the monsters the Collective made them out to be.

However, this revelation came at a cost, for three Principate leaders had facilitated the stealing of the weapons. Two, Julibrad Whitfer and Madiaja Farhol, now sit imprisoned, and the leader of the corrupt operation, Darnic Herharl, has now taken his entire planetary system and joined the Collective, adding many forces to their ranks.

Aware of the rise of the Collective once more, the Brotherhood now must weigh its options in how to deal with their deadly enemy once and for all.

Arcona
The Slow Advance of Diplomacy

Clan Arcona's efforts toward reforming their image and establishing fair and open diplomatic relations with their neighbors - both within the Dajorran system and nearby in the Galaxy - have been proceeding apace. After a shaky start with the Kon D'irin crime syndicate operating the highly lucrative Kessel spice trade, relations have strengthened. With the clear intent that Arcona has no distinct issue with their illicit activities, the Kon D'irin have cautiously agreed to work with Arcona in securing the sector against other outside interests which may try to but their way in. After all, the devil you know.

Trade relations with the nearby Combined Bothan Clans have begun to form, though there is still a great deal of back-and-forth and paperwork to be finalized. Clan Arcona is doing their best to prove the value such relationship can have, extending open offers to the Bothans for any assistance the substantial resources of the Shadow Clan can provide. Thus far there has been no activity on these offers, but things can always change rapidly as circumstances evolve.

On the home front, the newly reformed Dajorran Confederacy has been discussing ways to improve the lives of all inhabitants of the system, though some tensions still exist between some of the participating bodies - ancient cultural conflicts never truly fully wash away. The new Shadow Lord, Alex Draconis, has been a calming influence over these proceedings when tempers flare. His casual demeanor and even tone has taken the sting away from the compromises which have been asked of the member organizations of the Confederacy, keeping things fair but always directed toward the most positive outcomes for the most people.

But the road of diplomacy is never paved smoothly. Some have taken this new direction of Arcona as a sign of weakness, a declaration that the Clan had no choice but to come out of the shadows because it could not continue to assert its influence and control in any other way. Forces as yet operating in secret may have intentions to try to undermine the power of Arcona, and even further diminish the Shadow Clan's control over their home system. These as-yet-unknown adversaries will surely learn the folly of underestimating Clan Arcona...

Naga Sadow
High Stakes Payoff

The Summit of Clan Naga Sadow had secured compelling intelligence from the scoundrel Mick Hammer. By his account, he had personally sat at the very table the Clan sought, having once played cards against Buldakka the Hutt upon it: the Golden Table of the Sith Lord Naga Sadow himself. With its existence confirmed, the Summit authorized the Clan’s deployment to Rorak IV, intent on reclaiming the relic and returning it to its rightful place within a Sadow Temple that has still yet to unveil all of its secrets.

It was Adept Ashia Kagan Keibatsu who drew Buldakka into the trap, enticing the Hutt into a high-stakes card game where the prizes were nothing short of audacious. The Table itself, set against Ashia’s custom YT-1300. Buldakka, confident in his ability to rig the outcome, never anticipated the subtle hand of the Force guiding the cards against him. Ashia claimed victory cleanly, decisively.

As the Clan returned home bearing another relic of their namesake, the Clan considered other items to expand their influence and enrich their Ancient empire. Meanwhile, hidden chambers within the Sadow Temple continue to confound researchers, culminating in the Proconsul assembling a team to go back to the source: The original temple on Yavin IV.

Odan-Urr
Everybody Wants to Rule the World

It started with one assassination; why shouldn’t we have expected another?

Blood stained the courtyard of the Jedi Praxeum, a place which should have been safe for the Jedi, for any of the survivors of New Tython, and for any who threw their lot in with those who had come to be known as Clan Odan-Urr. A heavy military presence focused on the academy, the First Naval Fleet in orbit, and OUSC Marine Forces securing the outer perimeter with the aid of SeNet and the Guardians. Within the Council Chambers, an unexpected, and to some unwelcomed, face stood surrounded, holding the slain High Councilor’s ruby-capped cane.

Following the High Councillor’s assassination, the Kyataran woman assumed power in a move viewed by many as the Vatali Empire’s interference in Odanite independence. Installed as a permanent seat within the Jedi Council, Mihoshi Keibatsu serves as “Kaltani’s High Councilor.”

Returning from retirement, Wulfram Armis has been commissioned to lead the Loyalist OUSC Fleet, and has so far committed to an offensive against the Separatist officers.

Plagueis
Shadow of the Dread Throne

The absence of the Dread Lord from the throne has done little to stay its influence. Across Aliso, whispered rumors cling to every shadowed corridor and sealed chamber, insisting that Selika Roh’s reach did not end with her flight aboard the Ascendancy. Loyalists, some former members of the Dread Guard and others opportunists who prospered under her reign, have resurfaced within the Plagueian bureaucracy, quietly obstructing decrees and redirecting resources. Each act of sabotage bears just enough of Selika’s unmistakable signature to keep fear alive, leaving Clan Plagueis uncertain whether they are facing a coordinated resistance or the lingering aftershocks of her rule.

Wrath Tu’Q’aun Varick’s authority, though hard-won, proves brittle without the unifying weight of ritual and legitimacy once vested in the Consul. The Clan Summit remains mired in accusation and hesitation, with members of Houses Ventress and Tyranus trading increasingly public claims of collusion with the exiled Dread Lord. Attempts to consolidate power, such as the establishment of the Hidden Blades and Ascendant Outreach Corps, only deepen suspicion, as measures taken in the name of stability echo the same oppressive controls that sparked Selika’s downfall. In striving to prove himself distinct from his predecessor, Tu’Q’aun finds himself walking an ever-narrowing line, each decision inviting comparisons he cannot afford.

Beyond Aliso, the shadow of the exiled Consul lengthens. From hidden sanctuaries along the fringes of Plagueian space, Selika Roh watches the fractures widen, her exile hardening into resolve rather than defeat. Convinced that her removal was merely the opening move in a far greater design, she marshals what remains of her influence not to reclaim the throne outright, but to expose the unseen hand that profited from her fall. Whether her warnings are the final echoes of a mind consumed by paranoia or the first true signal of an approaching threat remains unclear, but Clan Plagueis may soon discover that the Dread Throne’s most dangerous legacy is not who sat upon it, but what it learned to fear.

Scholae Palatinae
The Webs we Weave

Operating from their state of the art headquarters, the Imperial Security Bureau has been tracking the enemies of the Empire. Since the events in the Syn system, their primary target has been Gans Hruber and The Collective’s insidious subsidiary Capital Enterprises. This terrorist organization masquerading as a legitimate business has continued to interfere in Imperial affairs. Their latest venture has been a series of cyberattacks against Imperial facilities and trade markets. Power stations, the Bureau of Corrections, and public transportation have all been periodically disrupted. Trade in neighboring systems, such as the Crannix system, have also suffered.

Seeking to shore up Imperial cybersecurity, the Empress has called upon a tenuous ally; the Chiss Hegemonia. The complexities of the Chiss language and the Hegemonia’s exotic technology make for the perfect secure code framework, but the Hegemonia’s cooperation will come at a cost. The Chiss will assist in developing a new Imperial code in exchange for unrestricted access to the Bronze Helix Observatory. The new Prime Syndic Locita and the Empress have inked a mutually beneficial deal.

Having already been scoured by Imperial scientists, the ancient site has very little valuable resources and information left to be claimed. However, the publicity of the strengthening alliance has ignited a deep public interest in the ancient history of Seraph. A past once buried by the former enemies of the Empire is being unearthed by hobbyists and academics alike. New archeological sites and long lost wonders are being discovered regularly. Even the efficient Imperial archives are struggling to keep up with all the new discoveries.

Now armed with an impenetrable cyber defense, the ISB is going on the offensive. Streams of false information are being successfully fed into Hruber’s intel channels. The terrorists are beginning to slip. Imperial agents have learned of an impending attack on Crannix station. A trap is being laid and soon it will be sprung. Based on the ISB’s false reports, The Collective will be anticipating minimal Imperial involvement. Little do they know, the Imperial fleet will be awaiting them and the new ISN Charybdis is thirsty for first blood…

Taldryan
Isolation

As the Republic turns its focus ever more inwards, more and more matters rear their heads after having been long obscured by external campaigns. An increasing wave of isolationist feelings appears to move in lockstep with these developments.

The Navy has been cracking down on piracy and slavery along the outer regions of the Republic. However, during the time the government had been focused outward, these groups have managed to deeply entrench themselves. It will take quite the effort to unseat these underworld groups.

On Interitus Cairn, it seems at least one group of pirates has been daring enough to set up shop in the very heart of the Republic. Pirate activity has significantly intensified in the southern archipelago and has spread into the western coastline of the Western Continent. With the rumors of a 'Pirate King' surfacing that has supposedly unified several of the major pirate factions, a contingent of Jedi lead by the former Lady Second has begun their journey to the archipelago to try and defuse this sensitive situation.

On Ostara, the sudden, partial clearing of heavy ion storms has revealed a pathway back to the moon, as well as a dark and sinister presence awaiting those who succeed in making the journey.

On its sister moon, Elysia, the new Vice Chancellor of the Taldryan Republic enlists the aid of Fort Malgrim to investigate a potentially valuable rumour.

All the while, Kasiya's major cities appear to be in the throes of a massive crimewave that seems to have no end. Authorities are baffled at what could be behind this.

While Taldryan's core holdings have been busy over the years, the neighboring moon of Chyron has upheld a friendly rivalry and come into its own, surpassing its bleak Imperial heritage.

Vizsla
Sacrificial Lambs

Bounties have been abundant.

Vizsla continues to swell its and its members’ coffers. Whether members have been completing contracts addressing the Brotherhood’s crisis or earning glory on the Pro Bowl fields, business blooms. Despite the setback of a changing summit, the Black Ledger intel network has kept the clan informed of the threat of Talrin and his plans to take over Clan Fero.

Yet, this year’s Pro Bowl provided more than personal glory to the members of Vizsla. Contact was made with a Fero agent with an axe to grind and they presented an opportunity to finally know what is in the Ba’slanar Codex. The cost for access is merely assassinating Talrin and risking all out war with Fero…

As the leadership of Vizsla wrestles with the choice, the clan has settled in for a festive season at their drinking hall, Saga. The planned songs and cheer has been interrupted by a veteran member of Vizsla draped in pink and carrying an enormous axe who demands heads roll. As the clan works out who’s been naughty, it has led to the question: Will these sacrifices lead to a prosperous new year?
