Dark Brotherhood Operation : Eclipse "The Okievy Cult"

Judges : Czulvang Lah, Destavol Gin

Competition Details

The Dark Brotherhood has been on a slow pace to rebuild itself since the Exodus several years ago. Over this
period of time many of the former planets, ships, and bases that once were the Brotherhood's have been lost,
many of out brothers and sisters lost to battle, betrayal and defection. In its current state the Brotherhood has
been spotted and noted as weakened by several of its enemies. This has caused small uprising all over the
territories of the Dark Brotherhood, but most all of them have been nothing more than a thorn in the side. This
was until the recent assault on a hidden DB temple and library on the secret black moon of Abyssia. The
moon was thought a perfect location to hide a large amount of the Brotherhood's surplus and many ancient
holocrons and records from several of our former Grand Master's and even a handful of the most powerful of
Dark Lords.

Abyssia is considered a 'dead moon' because its core has long since stopped spinning, thus rendering the
moon lifeless and unhabitable. Over the past nine years the moon has frozen over in ice and massive lightning
storms plague the surface of Abyssia, which has caused considerable damage to the temple and library. It was
thought that retrieving the materials from both the temple and library were pointless as the storms provided the
best defense from anyone attempting to capture them, but this was proven wrong nearly three days ago when
visions of Abyssia coming under the reign of a new enemy came to both the Grand Master and Deputy Grand
Master. To place them at ease a small recon team were dispatched to Abyssia to ensure that the Brotherhood's
materials were all safe. The last message from the team was that they had discovered resistance from some
a large number of highly skilled warriors and that there were in fact force users leading them.

The recon team were all slaughtered, and their heads sent back to Eos in black boxes. A message was also
delivered with the boxes stating that the moon was now under the control of the Okievy Cult, and that all possesions
on the surface were now theirs, and should the Dark Brotherhood attempt to move against them or retrieve any
of the materials, there would be war.. Needless to say this sent the Dark Council into an outrage and it was
only a matter of hours before all members of the Dark Council decided to mark the Okievy Cult as an enemy
and declare a state of war against them. The orders to dispatch the Hetaeria of the Brotherhood was made by
Grand Master Lah, and seconded by all of the Dark Council.

A second recon team was dispatched, and its mission was succesful. The team reported that the Dark Order
have quickly moved a small Battle Group to defend the moon, along with establishing two Platform Battlestations
to further defense. The Dark Order's numbers are estimated between 1400 to 1800, including at least 400-450
Dark Jedi to command them. It is believed that these Dark Jedi are rogues that were either to weak to survive
the path of the Dark Side, or were exiled. The leader of the Dark Order is a Dark Jedi Primarch by the name of
Erenas Valoth which has issued a challange of war to Grand Master Czulvang Lah. Valoth has as War Council
built up of eight other powerful Dark Jedi. Three of them ar Dark Adepts, Erica Valoth, Sars Kenki and Duldus
Mar. Two are Warlords, Vincent Arkanivek and Markus Aranivek both are brothers. The final three are Krath
Epis, Keia Kenki, Malak Tor, and Levia Mordissia. It is believed that the lowest ranking Dark Jedi under their
command is ranked at Guardian, giving them a powerful force of force users to work with.

It will be a long, costly, and terrible war for the Brotherhood that will result in casualties on both sides but the
Dark Brotherhood must not allow this new cult to continue to grow but considering its current strength the Dark
Brotherhood will have several problems over taking the cult, and finding just how deeply rooted this new enemy
truelly is.

is that even with the slight recon that was successful, we will need more to acchieve victory over the Okievy Cult.
