Turtle Jerrar: update intro for tranclusion

<onlyinclude>The '''Corporate Division''' (CD) was a [[subgroup]] of the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. The Corporate Division consisted of the "slicers" and entrepreneurs of the Fleet, delivering a mix of real-world and roleplay-based services. The individual "corporations" were responsible for new fighters, capital ships, weapons, general PC game "innovations", and goods and services in the service of the Fleet.</onlyinclude>

The home ship was the [[VSD-II Warhammer|VSD Warhammer]]. The Corporate Division was given the authority to field small picket fleets for pirate suppression and convoy defense. The Corporate Division also had it's own Academy, the Imperial Training Institute.

As a subgroup, the Corporate Division is inactive, but remains an active part of the Emperor's Hammer Fleet for roleplay/lore purposes.

== Intro ==

Welcome to corporatedivision.com, home of the Corporate Division (CD). The CD is a subgroup of the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet, an Imperial faction on the Outer Rim fighting to restore the ideals of the New Order in the chaos following the Battle of Endor. Such a massive war machine requires equally massive resources, and the Corporate Division provides these, offering manufacturing bases and services for the entire Fleet.

The Corporate Division itself is subdivided into two main units: the Direx Board, which is the administrative body of the subgroup; and the Trade Assembly, which contains all of the corporations and companies which make up the subgroup. In addition, there exists a highly skilled unit of pilots known as Core Squadron, who are responsible for testing and showcasing the latest starfighter designs produced by the Corporate Division.

Any individual with a skill or talent is welcome to join the Corporate Division, but at the same time, those without specialised skills are equally welcome, with training opportunities in every corporation. To be a Corporate Division Engineer represents a pinnacle of achievement and talent in a particular field, and you'll also be providing a very real and tangible service to other parts of the Emperor's Hammer - something that no other group truly offers.

With your help - members new and old alike - the Corporate Division can truly live up to its motto:

"Anything, Anytime, Anywhere"

- Fleet Admiral Valtane Gavryn Ricaud 
President of the Corporate Division

=== [[TIE Corps]] ===

The elite TIE Fighter pilots that battle with the Rebel forces and defend the Emperor's Hammer territories.

All pilots must first meet the [http://tc.emperorshammer.org/training.php entrance requirements] before they serve the Imperial Navy as the most elite and highly trained starfighter pilots in the Outer Rim Territories. Entering pilots must first [http://tc.emperorshammer.org/join.php apply] and then complete initial training requirements. They will then will be appointed to a squadron as a [[Flight Member]].

The TIE Corps pilots are active in single-player competitions (using TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance) as well as online (using XvT, XWA, and Star Conflict).

=== [[Secret Order]] ===

The Secret Order is a group that thematically encaptures a Star Wars Universe where operatives utilize their unique set of skills and abilities to place their own stamp on this universe, where members play supported games, take part in competitions and share their creativity all towards the advancement and accolades of their Secret Order persona. It was formally established in 2024 as the successor organization to the Dark Brotherhood. The Secret Order, like the Brotherhood before it, is under the control of the Grand Master as well as the [[Dark Council]].

= Inactive/Defunct =

The following [[Subgroup|subgroups]] were previously operated by the Emperor's Hammer, but are no longer active. Many activities of these subgroups were transferred to other active Emperor's Hammer subgroups.

=== The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi ===

{{:Dark Brotherhood}}

=== Hammer's Fist Stormtrooper Legion ===

{{:Hammer's Fist}}

=== Infiltrator Wing ===

{{:Infiltrator Wing}}

=== EH Directorate ===

{{:Directorate}}

=== Corporate Division ===

The [[Corporate Division]] (CD) consisted of the "slicers" and entrepreneurs of the Fleet. The individual "corporations" are responsible for new fighters, capital ships, weapons, general PC game "innovations", and goods and services in the service of the Fleet. In these dangerous days after Endor and with the Emperor's Hammer Fleet spread throughout the [[System Manual|Emperor's Hammer Territories]], the Corporate Division has been given the authority to field small Picket Fleets for pirate suppression and convoy defense.

=== The Fringe ===

[[The Fringe]] focused on the Star Wars Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORPG) Star Wars Galaxies. The "adventures" took place online in the always running MMORPG where you create and personalize your own character/avatar in both appearance, style and profession. Previously, the Fringe also heavily relied on existing West End Games Star Wars RPG (TM) Rules and Sourcebooks.

=== Bounty Hunters' Guild ===

The Fleet Commander occasionally authorizes the use of independent [[bounty hunter|Bounty Hunters]] and mercenaries for the greater good of the Empire in order to keep the Imperial war machine supplied and the civilian population in check. In the [[Bounty Hunters' Guild]] (BHG), hunters undertake WWW missions, IRC and WWW 'hunts,' fiction writing and graphics creation competitions, etc. Through these activities, hunters gain Imperial Credits and thus advancement in the BHG. The BHG was also formerly known as the Smuggler's Guild and later The Guild.

=== Intelligence Division ===

The [[Intelligence Division]] (ID) serves as the eyes and ears of the Emperor's Hammer in the chaotic region of the Outer Rim Territories. The ID keeps a close watch not only on our internal Fleet workings but also external threats. Individual 'Bureaus' and 'Branches' of Intel perform highly secret and critical functions for the Fleet. These can include VIP escort, infiltration, information gathering, etc. Although Fighter Missions are used by some Branches of 'Intel', purchase of a flightsim game is not needed to join Intel as WWW and IRC 'hunts' and 'black ops' are conducted as well.

=== [[Imperial Senate]] ===

Although the entire Imperial Senate was officially dissolved by decree of Emperor Palpatine just prior to the destruction of the first Death Star at Yavin IV, Grand Admiral Ronin has allowed the Imperial Citizenry to reform the Imperial Senate in the Outer Rim to assist with the management of civilian resources throughout the Territories and to free the Fleet's military structure to defeating the ever-lingering Rebellion.

The Subgroup is comprised a large number of planets, each harboring two Senators and five Representatives, constituting a delegation of seven individuals. When a member graduates from the Imperial University, he or she joins a party and applies to a planet, where they can participate in Planetary Issues, voting and discussing on domestic issues and their interplanetary implications. If a Representative achieves Senator, he can then participate in Senate Issues and debate the finer points of interplanetary policy, civil and political rights, and the Emperor's Hammer.

=== EH: Star Wars CCG ===
In order to provide a decidedly "Imperial perspective" to the popular Star Wars: Customizable Card Game (SW:CCG) produced by Decipher, the EH: Star Wars CCG (EH:CCG) subgroup was added to the Emperor's Hammer. EH:CCG utilized existing published cards in online, real-time CCG gameplay.

= Support Organizations/Miscellaneous =

In addition to officially recognized subgroups, the Emperor's Hammer has also operated several smaller task-oriented '''support organizations'''.

=== EH Advanced Guard ===
As "Ambassadors" of the Emperor's Hammer, the [[Advanced Guard|EH Advanced Guard]] is comprised of only the most trusted and loyal Imperials. The EH Advanced Guard represents the Emperor's Hammer to various online clubs, magazines, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), WWW sites, etc. In addition, the Ambassadors of the Advanced Guard have made recruitment of new Imperials to the Emperor's Hammer their primary goal. The Advanced Guard is led by the [[Lord Ambassador]] (LA) and the Ambassadors (AM).

=== Fleet Naval Corps ===

The [[Fleet Naval Corps]] opened the doors of Echo Company to new recruits. The Naval Corps exists introduce an Naval element into the TIE Corps, and officers joining the Naval Corps will be assigned to command the numerous Cruisers, Frigates and Corvettes that accompany the Imperial Star Destroyers of the TIE Fighter Corps. The Naval Corps will utilize X-Wing Alliance to conduct Fleet Wargames similar to the recent Fleet Strategic Battle Exercise - Imperial Storm.

=== Fleet Medical Corps ===

The [[Fleet Medical Corps]] (FMC) was a support organization that was tasked with strengthening the morale of EH members and encouraging member retention. FMC members were assigned to units in some but not all of the subgroups. Doctors and their Nurse assistants would offer assistance but not RL medical advice.

=== Sector Rangers ===

The [[Sector Rangers]] were a small group of volunteers attached to the Security Office that spent time in the EH IRC channels and on the message boards looking for opportunities to provide assistance anyone looking for help and relay observed misconduct to the Security Officer.

=== EH Imperial Survey Corps (ISC) ===

A previous support organization serving as scouts for the Fleet, with contributions populating the [[System Manual]]. ISC Corvettes and survey ships continually roamed the Outer Rim Territories, searching for new planetary systems for the Empire to "liberate". The ISC was rolled into the [[Directorate]] upon its founding.

=== EH Civilian Command Authority (CCA) ===

A previous support organization that focused on system politics and fleet tactics within the Emperor's Hammer territories. The CCA was rolled into the [[Directorate]] upon its founding.

=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood ===

The [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/The_Brotherhood Dark Jedi Brotherhood] was affiliated with the Emperor's Hammer for many years until seceding from the Emperor's Hammer in [[Galactic Timeline|2003]].

<onlyinclude>The '''Infiltrator Wing''' (IW) was a space simulation [[subgroup]] of the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. Many former rebellion and New Republic pilots, having seen the error of their ways, returned to the New Order of the Empire. Due to the constant need of the remnants of the Imperial Navy for new starfighter pilots, these pilots were allowed to continue flying their New Republic "alphabet" fighters (i.e., the X-Wing, A-Wing, Y-Wing, and B-Wing) and Capital Ships in the service of the Empire.

The Infiltrator Wing is currently inactive as a separate subgroup, but elements of the IW have been recommissioned within the [[TIE Corps]].</onlyinclude>

The Infiltrator Wing was commanded by the [[Infiltrator Wing Commander]].

==History==
===Founding and Early Years===
''(EHNL#22 1st August 1995):'' 
During a special ceramony outside the PLT Daedalus, [[Grand Admiral]] [[Ronin]] and his Command Staff, re-christened a captured MC80 Cruiser, the CRS "Renegade." 
The Grand Admiral awarded newly promoted [[Rear Admiral]] [[Terran]], command of the ship, and newly promoted Lieutenant-General Crandall, the position of Wing Commander of the ship's fighters, aka "The Infiltrator Wing". 
 
The "The Infiltrator Wing" program was originally proposed by [[Vice Admiral]] [[Renegade]], before his tragic death in early July 1995 (His death was stage-managed and not real). The Program was put on hold for a short time, but soon re-started by Grand Admiral Ronin. 
The main objective of the Infiltrator Wing was to attack New Republic Vessels and Star Systems using a captured Mon Cal Cruiser, stolen Alliance Starfighters, and Rebel Defectors working along side Imperial Officers. 
 
The Starfighter Squadrons was divided up into 4 Squadrons representing one of each Starfighter type. In each Squadron there were three flights of three pilots each. 
 
From this moment on the Infiltrator Wing was born. It started as a Wing of the Emperor's Hammer. 
 
''(EHNL#23 17th August 1995):'' 
The Infiltrator Wing was mentioned the fist time a subgroup with the following structure: 
*CRS Renegade
**Wing V
***Black Squadron (X-Wing)
***Bronze Squadron (Y-Wing)
***Grey Squadron (A-Wing)
***Green Squadron (B-Wing)
 
September 1995 the IW was restructured again with a real subgroup Command Staff: 
*''Command Officer:'' Admiral [[Renegade]] (resurrected from the death) - B-Wing
*''Wing Commander:'' LG Crandall - X-Wing
*''Training Officer (IWTO):'' BG Yoni
*''Training Assistant (IWTA):'' GN Dude
*''Motto:'' "Victory above all else"
**CRS Despot
***Eagle Squadron (X-Wing) Strike and Escort
***Condor Squadron (Y-Wing) Assault
***Raven Squadron (A-Wing) Recon and Strike
***Vulture (B-Wing) Fast Assualt and Escort
 
The Infiltrator Wing lasted for about 10 years as a subgroup of the Emperor's Hammer. During this time there were a lot of restructures.

===Disbanding===

The Infiltrator Wing was suspended and disbanded 09/30/2005 by the former [[Fleet Commander]] [[Grand Admiral]] [[Astatine]]. This was the official end of the Infiltrator Wing as a dedicated subgroup of the EH. 

===Reformation===

The Infiltrator Wing was reformed in March 2006 as a part of the [[TIE Corps]], assigned to [[Wing XXI]] aboard the [[MC80B Redemption]]. The Redemption's first [[Commodore]], and thus de-facto Infiltrator Wing Commander, was [[Exar Kit]]. To match Rebel/New Republic squadron callsigns, colors were used to represent squadron names. [[Red Squadron]] and [[Green Squadron]] were commissioned as part of the reactivation. [[Blue Squadron]] would be added to Wing XXI in June 2007. The Redemption, and thus the Infiltrator Wing, was once again suspended in August 2009 as part of a restructure of the TIE Corps. 

===Second Reformation===

The Infiltrator Wing would return once again in the form of [[Firebird Squadron]] aboard the [[Challenge|ISD-II Challenge]] in October 2020, under the command of then-Colonel [[Stryker]]. [[Eagle Squadron]] and [[Raven Squadron]] would soon follow. As part of a further expansion of the TIE Corps, the [[Renegade (ship)|MC-90 Renegade]] was reactivated as part of [[Battlegroup III]] under the command of then-Admiral Stryker, and the squadrons were formed into Wing XXII - the first time the Infiltrator Wing had existed as a Wing in fifteen years. Raven Squadron would be disbanded in July 2023, its pilots transferred to Firebird Squadron, and would be replaced in July 2024 by [[Scorpion Squadron]].

==Ships of the Infiltrator Wing==

The [[Corporate Division]] (CD) consisted of the "slicers" and entrepreneurs of the Fleet. The individual "corporations" are responsible for new fighters, capital ships, weapons, general PC game "innovations", and goods and services in the service of the Fleet. In these dangerous days after Endor and with the Emperor's Hammer Fleet spread throughout the [[System Manual|Emperor's Hammer Territories]], the Corporate Division has been given the authority to field small Picket Fleets for pirate suppression and convoy defense.

=== The Fringe ===

[[The Fringe]] focused on the Star Wars Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORPG) Star Wars Galaxies. The "adventures" took place online in the always running MMORPG where you create and personalize your own character/avatar in both appearance, style and profession. Previously, the Fringe also heavily relied on existing West End Games Star Wars RPG (TM) Rules and Sourcebooks.

=== Bounty Hunters' Guild ===

The Fleet Commander occasionally authorizes the use of independent [[bounty hunter|Bounty Hunters]] and mercenaries for the greater good of the Empire in order to keep the Imperial war machine supplied and the civilian population in check. In the [[Bounty Hunters' Guild]] (BHG), hunters undertake WWW missions, IRC and WWW 'hunts,' fiction writing and graphics creation competitions, etc. Through these activities, hunters gain Imperial Credits and thus advancement in the BHG. The BHG was also formerly known as the Smuggler's Guild and later The Guild.

=== Intelligence Division ===

The [[Intelligence Division]] (ID) serves as the eyes and ears of the Emperor's Hammer in the chaotic region of the Outer Rim Territories. The ID keeps a close watch not only on our internal Fleet workings but also external threats. Individual 'Bureaus' and 'Branches' of Intel perform highly secret and critical functions for the Fleet. These can include VIP escort, infiltration, information gathering, etc. Although Fighter Missions are used by some Branches of 'Intel', purchase of a flightsim game is not needed to join Intel as WWW and IRC 'hunts' and 'black ops' are conducted as well.

=== [[Imperial Senate]] ===

Although the entire Imperial Senate was officially dissolved by decree of Emperor Palpatine just prior to the destruction of the first Death Star at Yavin IV, Grand Admiral Ronin has allowed the Imperial Citizenry to reform the Imperial Senate in the Outer Rim to assist with the management of civilian resources throughout the Territories and to free the Fleet's military structure to defeating the ever-lingering Rebellion.

The Subgroup is comprised a large number of planets, each harboring two Senators and five Representatives, constituting a delegation of seven individuals. When a member graduates from the Imperial University, he or she joins a party and applies to a planet, where they can participate in Planetary Issues, voting and discussing on domestic issues and their interplanetary implications. If a Representative achieves Senator, he can then participate in Senate Issues and debate the finer points of interplanetary policy, civil and political rights, and the Emperor's Hammer.

=== EH: Star Wars CCG ===
In order to provide a decidedly "Imperial perspective" to the popular Star Wars: Customizable Card Game (SW:CCG) produced by Decipher, the EH: Star Wars CCG (EH:CCG) subgroup was added to the Emperor's Hammer. EH:CCG utilized existing published cards in online, real-time CCG gameplay.

= Support Organizations/Miscellaneous =

In addition to officially recognized subgroups, the Emperor's Hammer has also operated several smaller task-oriented '''support organizations'''.

=== EH Advanced Guard ===
As "Ambassadors" of the Emperor's Hammer, the [[Advanced Guard|EH Advanced Guard]] is comprised of only the most trusted and loyal Imperials. The EH Advanced Guard represents the Emperor's Hammer to various online clubs, magazines, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), WWW sites, etc. In addition, the Ambassadors of the Advanced Guard have made recruitment of new Imperials to the Emperor's Hammer their primary goal. The Advanced Guard is led by the [[Lord Ambassador]] (LA) and the Ambassadors (AM).

=== Fleet Naval Corps ===

The [[Fleet Naval Corps]] opened the doors of Echo Company to new recruits. The Naval Corps exists introduce an Naval element into the TIE Corps, and officers joining the Naval Corps will be assigned to command the numerous Cruisers, Frigates and Corvettes that accompany the Imperial Star Destroyers of the TIE Fighter Corps. The Naval Corps will utilize X-Wing Alliance to conduct Fleet Wargames similar to the recent Fleet Strategic Battle Exercise - Imperial Storm.

=== Fleet Medical Corps ===

The [[Fleet Medical Corps]] (FMC) was a support organization that was tasked with strengthening the morale of EH members and encouraging member retention. FMC members were assigned to units in some but not all of the subgroups. Doctors and their Nurse assistants would offer assistance but not RL medical advice.

=== Sector Rangers ===

The [[Sector Rangers]] were a small group of volunteers attached to the Security Office that spent time in the EH IRC channels and on the message boards looking for opportunities to provide assistance anyone looking for help and relay observed misconduct to the Security Officer.

=== EH Imperial Survey Corps (ISC) ===

A previous support organization serving as scouts for the Fleet, with contributions populating the [[System Manual]]. ISC Corvettes and survey ships continually roamed the Outer Rim Territories, searching for new planetary systems for the Empire to "liberate". The ISC was rolled into the [[Directorate]] upon its founding.

=== EH Civilian Command Authority (CCA) ===

A previous support organization that focused on system politics and fleet tactics within the Emperor's Hammer territories. The CCA was rolled into the [[Directorate]] upon its founding.

=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood ===

The [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/The_Brotherhood Dark Jedi Brotherhood] was affiliated with the Emperor's Hammer for many years until seceding from the Emperor's Hammer in [[Galactic Timeline|2003]]. It shares a common ancestry with [[Dark Brotherhood|The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi]], itself serving as the predecessor organization of the [[Secret Order|Emperor's Hammer Secret Order]].

Turtle Jerrar: /* The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi */ switch to transclusion

{{Emperor's Hammer Manual}}
= Active Subgroups =

=== [[TIE Corps]] ===

The elite TIE Fighter pilots that battle with the Rebel forces and defend the Emperor's Hammer territories.

All pilots must first meet the [http://tc.emperorshammer.org/training.php entrance requirements] before they serve the Imperial Navy as the most elite and highly trained starfighter pilots in the Outer Rim Territories. Entering pilots must first [http://tc.emperorshammer.org/join.php apply] and then complete initial training requirements. They will then will be appointed to a squadron as a [[Flight Member]].

The TIE Corps pilots are active in single-player competitions (using TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance) as well as online (using XvT, XWA, and Star Conflict).

=== [[Secret Order]] ===

The Secret Order is a group that thematically encaptures a Star Wars Universe where operatives utilize their unique set of skills and abilities to place their own stamp on this universe, where members play supported games, take part in competitions and share their creativity all towards the advancement and accolades of their Secret Order persona. It was formally established in 2024 as the successor organization to the Dark Brotherhood. The Secret Order, like the Brotherhood before it, is under the control of the Grand Master as well as the [[Dark Council]].

= Inactive/Defunct =

The following [[Subgroup|subgroups]] were previously operated by the Emperor's Hammer, but are no longer active. Many activities of these subgroups were transferred to other active Emperor's Hammer subgroups.

=== The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi ===

{{:Dark Brotherhood}}

=== Hammer's Fist Stormtrooper Legion ===

The [[Hammer's Fist|Hammer's Fist Stormtrooper Legion]] (HF) consists of the elite Stormtroopers of the Emperor's Hammer. These troopers include highly trained Imperial [[Stormtrooper|Stormtroopers]] that perform special operations for the Fleet. There are currently [[Zero-G]] [[Spacetrooper|Spacetroopers]], [[Scout Trooper|Scout Troopers]], [[Sandtrooper|Desert]] and [[Cold Assault Trooper|Cold Assault]]/[[Snowtrooper]] Platoons.

=== Infiltrator Wing ===

Many former rebellion pilots have seen the error of their ways and returned to the New Order of the Empire. Due to the constant need of the remnants of the Imperial Navy for new starfighter pilots, these pilots have been allowed to continue flying their Rebel "alphabet" fighters (i.e. the X-Wing, A-Wing, Y-Wing, and B-Wing) and Capital Ships in the service of the Empire. The [[Infiltrator Wing]] (IW) has been an invaluable internal training tool with the existing EH TIE Fighter Corps.

The Infiltrator Wing is currently inactive as a separate subgroup, but elements of the IW have been commissioned within the [[TIE Corps]].

=== EH Directorate ===

The [[Directorate]]'s (DIR) primary mission is to both secure and help develop planets and colonies to service the Emperor's Hammer. Planetary Governors and their staff officers oversee the political and economic development on every [[System Manual|EH aligned planet and colony]], ensuring that peace and stability exist, while also ensuring that the EH is provided whatever resources and tools it needs to continue. Since the fall of the Empire at the Battle of Endor, the Directorate has been the primary means by which the EH secures and protects its citizens and territories. With vast defense and system fleets, the Directorate is able to respond to all emergencies and contingencies immediately and efficiently. Through trade and politics, the Directorate keeps the vital resources and goods flowing throughout the entire EH territory, while ensuring that the civilian populations on each colony and planet are well cared for and kept secure.

=== Corporate Division ===

The [[Corporate Division]] (CD) consisted of the "slicers" and entrepreneurs of the Fleet. The individual "corporations" are responsible for new fighters, capital ships, weapons, general PC game "innovations", and goods and services in the service of the Fleet.

Dark Brotherhood

2026-07-02T03:11:14Z

Turtle Jerrar: add text from original archived description (www.emperorshammer.org) for transclusion.

<onlyinclude>The '''Dark Brotherhood''' (DB), also known as the Dark Brotherhood of Jedi, was a subgroup of the [[Emperor's Hammer]] tasked with finding and training Force Sensitives in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. It has since been replaced by the '''[[Secret Order]]'''.

Any member of the Fleet was able to join the Dark Brotherhood, working to advance their Dark Jedi persona by gaining ranks within their Order, acquiring medals, earning positions in a Dark Jedi House or Clan, and gaining prestige as they contributed to the Brotherhood.</onlyinclude>

This page discusses the history of the Dark Brotherhood. For information about the Secret Order, please visit the [[DB:Dark_Side_Compendium|Dark Side Compendium]].

==History==
The following is the compilation of research done by Shadonyx, former Chancellor of the Dark Brotherhood, and continued by former Darth Khaen. The document herein is based on information in the Dark Voices, old news posts, and communiqués with older members. This is, at a glance, the true history behind the Dark Brotherhood.

====The Beginning====

Most of the history of the Brotherhood prior to its joining with the Emperor's Hammer has been lost in the mists of antiquity. When Kane Vader, the first known Grand Master, came to the Aurora System his archives were not complete or extensive, and he and his servants were loath to speak of the past. Despite this, the Dark Brotherhood was welcomed into Ronin's vision of a new Imperial order. Thanks, Kane Vader appointed Ronin as the first Headmaster of the Brotherhood's new institution of learning, the Shadow Academy.

Kane Vader did not remain as Grand Master long after the Brotherhood joined the Emperor's Hammer. Unused to working overtly and with such freedom, Kaine soon retired into the darkness whence he came, leaving a new man to take the title of Grand Master.

====Paladin: A Time of Awakening====

Lord Jedgar Octavian Paladin became Grand Master after Kane left. Unlike his predecessor, Paladin had served within the Strike Fleet prior to joining the Brotherhood, and had a clear idea of the power and resources available to him. The shrewd and somewhat ruthless man wasted no time in exploiting those objects for the Brotherhood's benefits.

The Shadow Academy came to full fruition during this time, its first incarnation consisting of three phases of Order-specific training for the Krath and Sith. Robes were finalized, and the dress created during Paladin's reign was used with little alteration until recently. The first edition of the Dark Side Compendium was released, as well as the first Dark Voices; and the Envoys were also created, and were originally conceived as a Brotherhood-aligned Fleet Commander's Honor Guard, with a similar point system. The weekly IRC meetings also became a fixture during Paladin's time. It is also assumed that the Main Body of the Dark Council, as it exists today (excluding Seneschal), was formed as well. The membership total during this period was around 100.

Paladin was rewarded greatly for his efforts as Grand Master. He received a promotion to Fleet Admiral, and the Medal of Honor. After a reign of approximately eight months, Paladin retired from Grand Master. Paladin was one of the most dynamic leaders of the Brotherhood, and he remained with it for a very long time, serving in other positions, but most notably Justicar until it was dissolved in recent times. He also served as the Strike Fleet's High Inquisitor until his disappearance, which some assumed to be his retirement into a life of solitude and study.

====Kreeayt Havok and Crona: An Interim====

Succeeding Paladin as Grand Master was Kreeayt Havoc, the Deputy Grand Master. While Kreeayt's reign was short (approximately three months), he introduced a few new items into the Brotherhood, the most noteworthy being Praetors and Magistrates, which were intended to mirror Command Attachés and Assistants. Praetors were originally given the rank of Dark Side Adept, and formed a Praetorian Diet; which could be used for voting purposes. Magistrates were originally given the rank of Krath Priest/Sith Warrior. At the end of Kreeayt's reign, when he was elevated to Executive Officer of the Strike Fleet, Brotherhood membership had doubled, now boasting a little over 200 members.

Kreeayt's Deputy Grand Master, Crona, was the next Grand Master. The exact date of his appointment is unknown, as the first Dark Voice released in his reign is not dated. However, by this time the Brotherhood's membership was reaching 400 and the Obelisk were now an Order within the Brotherhood. More information from former Grand Master Jac Cotelin reveals that during Crona's reign the Brotherhood had slipped into a relative state of torpidity, and that Tau Squadron became a serious source of dissent. After an altercation with the Fleet Commander, the High Court and the Fleet Commander ousted Crona from Grand Master, and expelled him from the Strike Fleet.

====Jac Cotelin: A Return to Order====

After Crona's expulsion, Grand Admiral Ronin recognized the ability of Jac Cotelin, and elevated him as the new Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood. The most notable achievements of Jac's reign were the creation of Clans and Houses as a way to divide up the membership of the Dark Brotherhood, the addition of ranks between Sith Warrior and Dark Side Adept, the creation of the first medals, and the position of Lord Chamberlain. Jac also purged the Dark Council and expelled Tau Squadron upon appointment, paving the way for a new generation of leaders to control the direction of the Brotherhood - including the mysterious Star Chamber.

While previous accounts of the Star Chamber place it as a thing of ominous power, the truth of the matter is that it was the "Clan of the Dark Council." While not every Dark Council member was part of it, previous Grand Masters and long-standing Council members were part of the Chamber. It was the Star Chamber that chose the direction of the Brotherhood during Jac's reign, and the Dark Council served as the implementers of the Star Chamber's will. Presumably, the Star Chamber existed before Jac's reign, and continued its influence afterwards.

====Justinian Khyron: A Period of Change====

Grand Master Jac resigned after a long, successful tenure in which the Brotherhood grew to over 1000 members. His replacement was Justinian Khyron, a former Master at Arms and a Strike Fleet officer. Khyron's reign was marked by a great deal of change and alteration in Brotherhood structure. He created guidelines on forming House and Clan Crests; the Art of Vendetta, which was created by Paladin, was recognized; the first Great Jedi Wars and Vendettas were held; the position of Archon was created to handle medals, but was also later dissolved, and medals became the responsibilit of the Chancellor; the Grand Master's Royal Guard was created; Clans and Houses were altered into their current forms; Sith Advisor became the Sith High Warrior.

Despite all these advances, a revolt within the ranks occurred. Clan Ar'kell, displeased with the Grand Master and the way the Brotherhood was being run, defected and formed their own sort of Brotherhood, the Society of Shadows, led by the former Ar'kell Consul, Sauron. Not much was done about the defection, save that it was more or less widely ignored by the Dark Council and the Star Chamber, which Sauron blamed for Ar'kell's defection. Khyron reigned for well over a year before resigning.

====Justin Stryker and Khyron's Return: A Second Interim====

After Khyron's resignation, Justin Stryker took over as Grand Master. He reigned for half a year, and did little more than act as a caretaker to the Brotherhood. Upon Stryker's resignation, Khyron returned for a second term as Grand Master. Khyron's second term was not nearly as impressive as his first, and the only thing of only thing of consequence was the alteration of the Clan and House structure to have three Houses per Clan, one for each Order.

After Khyron's second reign, the Star Chamber faded from memory, and while it is assumed that it still held power, its influence and effect on the Brotherhood post-Khyron is unknown.

====Thedek: Technological Advancement====

Thedek, Master-at-Arms, replaced Khyron as Grand Master. His reign included the creation of Oracle, which was originally intended as a position to maintain the Dark Side Compendium, and the Chamber of Justice. Revisions to the Grand Master's Royal Guard, the Envoys, and the Dark Side Compendium were done during this time. Thedek also created the first comprehensive database for the Dark Brotherhood, the former http://www.darkbrotherhood.com/.

====Zoraan: Stagnation====

Following Thedek was Archibald Zoraan, a Consul of Tarentum. His reign was marked by nothing more than a few notable Dark Council appointments, minor revisions to the Dark Side Compendium, and updates to the Shadow Academy. In all other things, Zoraan preferred to act as an esoteric, a foreboding Grand Master; essentially, he was far better acting as Grand Master than being Grand Master. Ultimately, the membership had had enough, and protests began. Zoraan ruthlessly crushed such opposition, twisting existing legal policy and the words in the Dark Side Compendium to his will, and using the Envoys as spies to find dissenters.

In the end, however, the then Executive Officer, Alan Kawolski, and Grand Admiral Ronin intervened, but were met with resistance. Claiming that the Dark Brotherhood was still a "sister organization," Zoraan attempted to dissolve the Emperor's Hammer's hold on the Brotherhood. This is what the former Grand Master had to say on the matter.

Zoraan's attempt at secession failed, however, and he was deposed. Sadly, he managed to wipe most of Thedek's archives before being ousted, setting the Brotherhood back a great deal.

====Chi-Long: A Return to the Old Ways====

After the Zoraan crisis subsided, Chi-Long, formerly known as Faethor, replaced Zoraan as Grand Master. Luckily, most of the Thedek's archives were recovered one way or the other, but Thedek, angered over the appointment of Chi-Long as Grand Master, claimed that all the data within his archives was just that: his, and no one could use it. Apparently, the same insanity that touched Zoraan also touched Thedek, and the former Grand Master was expelled from Imperial space on pain of death. Shortly after, construction of a new database began.

After the initial turmoil, Chi-Long's reign was a strange one. He went through four Deputy Grand Masters during his eight month tenure, and more often took credit for others' projects than constructed his own. He also went on a sabbatical for well over two months, leaving then Deputy Grand Master Astatine in charge for the duration, and later rewarding Astatine by removing him. Perhaps the most famous scandal of his reign was his attempted deposing of Sith High Warrior Firefox. Khan, the Proconsul of Clan Alvaak, had been charged with publicly defaming the Grand Master. Firefox, wishing to aid a friend, submitted a log of Chi-Long insulting and defaming the Fleet Commander. In retaliation, Chi-Long attempted to remove Firefox, but was stopped by the Executive Officer.

Despite these oddities, Chi-Long's reign included various, important revisions to the Dark Side Compendium, the creation of the Assembly of Consuls and Emissary, the resurrection of the Envoys, and a Vendetta. He also made some notable appointments to the Dark Council. Sadly, the Envoys were widely rumored to be a secret spy force for Chi-Long, and the Vendetta was less than well-planned. Near the end of his reign, Chi-Long was highly disliked by Brotherhood membership, a fact that reached the ears of the Emperor's Hammer Command Staff. Determined to do something, the Executive Office took punitive action against the Grand Master.

====Firefox: Betrayal====

After being practically ousted by Alan Kawolski, Chi-Long bitterly retreated into the darkness and swore never to aid the Brotherhood again. In his place, long-standing Sith High Warrior and Battlegroup Commander of the Avenger Task Force Firefox became Grand Master. Firefox's reign was an active one, with many astute appointments to the Dark Council. While there were no Vendettas for over a year, improvements to the medal system, Dark Side Compendium, and the Brotherhood website were all enacted. The position of Oracle, originally intended by Firefox to publish the Dark Voice, was dissolved after a few months. Project Thallium, an effort made by then Deputy Grand Master Astatine to create more structure and order in the Brotherhood was spearheaded, but died down after he left the position. This was when the problems began.

Krath High Priestess Mairin Astoris was appointed as Astatine's replacement, and for the first month or so, she proved to be a happy choice. However, her domineering nature soon began to show itself when she began to do other Dark Council members' duties and initiate projects without Firefox's consent. She also released a sub-par Vendetta in an attempt to appease the Brotherhood membership, but only succeeded in disgusting it with the delays and poorly executed events. All the while, a deep schism between herself and Mage, current Headmaster, and the current Chancellor, Shadonyx, developed. Shadonyx did not like Mairin's rule or Mage's alliance with her, and they in turn detested Shadonyx for his refusal to obey and connection with the Grand Master and the Executive Officer. Ultimately, the situation was never truly resolved and the parties involved grudgingly agreed to a truce. However, the volatile nature of the Dark Council, as well as the torpidity of the Clans was apparent. Astatine, who was also the Executive Officer, began to put pressure on Firefox to change things.

Firefox did not react to this pressure well. In the last few weeks of his reign, he made a secret alliance with former Grand Master Chi-Long. Their goal was to break away as a subgroup and regain the fabled sister organization status, all the while claiming their reason for doing this was Astatine's acerbic personality. After three weeks of scheming, the devious Grand Masters, in accordance with former Grand Masters Jac Cotelin, Khyron, Master-at-Arms Corran Force, Headmaster Pyralis (also known as Darth Vader), and Proconsul of Naga Sadow Trevarus Caerick signed a document that stated their grievances and reasons for wanting sister organization status once more. Grand Admiral Ronin, however, would have nothing of it. He immediately demanded that the rogues relinquish their claims to the database they held, as well as any other materials they had whilst they were part of the Emperor's Hammer.

The argument began to get rather murky as legal issues were brought forth. Ultimately, nothing was completely resolved as neither side was going to take this the matter to court. Instead, many Emperor's Hammer members politely requested that their works or dossiers be removed from the rogue Dark Brotherhood, and Firefox honored their requests. However, many members also left with the rogues, striking a huge blow to the Brotherhood's membership base. Undoutably, these members left because they believed what the rogues were telling them. Astatine and Ronin, after expelling the rogues from the Fleet, began a search for a new Dark Council and constructing a new Brotherhood website. The rogues continue to exist in their own organization.

====Rapier: Reeling From Shock====

After a short five days, Astatine and Ronin appointed Rapier, a former Emperor's Hammer Security Officer, to Grand Master. A new Dark Council was chosen by the Grand Master, but was plagued from its first sitting with low morale, lacklustre activity, and frequent turnover in the positions. Within a few months, there had been two Deputy Grand Masters, two Headmasters, three Chancellors, two Heralds, three Sith High Warriors, and the office of Commander of the Guard had been dissolved. The same problems harrying the Dark Council were rife among the Clans of the Brotherhood.

Despite the closure of two Clans (Taldryan and Naga Sadow), many Houses still stood on the brink of closure due to low membership and activity. Many House Summits neglected to perform their duties, and several insufficiently experienced Dark Jedi advanced to Clan Summit positions they were not wise or powerful enough to maintain.

Despite the efforts of the Dark Council and a dedicated few throughout the Brotherhood, the general state of malaise continued month after month. There were some notable advances in the period, however, including the design of a new set of Brotherhood robes and awards and the release of one new issue of the Dark Voice.

Around ten months after the split, the Executive Officer and Fleet Commander of the Emperor's Hammer decided to take action to point the Brotherhood in a new direction. At a regular fleet meeting, Executive Officer Astatine announced the removal of Grand Master Rapier, Deputy Grand Master Gelton Torr, and Chancellor Angel Saris. The former Master-at-Arms, Dark Side Adept Khaen, was to become the next Grand Master.

====Khaen: Unfulfilled Hopes====

The immediate reaction to the regime change was chaos. Sith Warlord Darkfinn the Arcona Consul openly revolted and unsuccessfully incited his clan to defect. Also in other places of the Brotherhood emotions over this sudden unexpected move were flying high, especially in Clan Tarentum, the home of Deputy Grand Master Gelton Torr. There a petition was drafted and released to the Fleet, that was supposed to draw Fleet Commander Ronin's attention to the decision of his Executive Officer Astatine and asking for a more active involvement of Ronin into club matters.

Tarentum later respectfully withdrew its petition after long talks with Grand Admiral Ronin when they felt that they had made their point towards him. The defected Arcona Consul was soon replaced and everything settled a bit.

Then it came to light shortly after Rapier's removal that the rogue Dark Brotherhood had been secretly in control of important channels of Dark Brotherhood communication (websites, etc.), having connived to purchase them covertly after the former fleet Communications Officer had let financing lapse. In a disruptive move, the rogue Dark Brotherhood's Deputy Grand Master sabotaged the communications network, issuing a statement that his group had been supportive of the Dark Brotherhood so long as Rapier remained Grand Master, and that all support would now be withdrawn.

A reformed Dark Council began to take shape, with a new Master-at-Arms and Chancellor. Deputy Grand Master was to remain vacant as the Grand Master did not see a need to have one in place. The 'new' Dark Council would attempt to restore the honor and work ethic which had given long-previous Dark Councils such authority and respect, and had been a source of great strength for the Brotherhood. But those attempts failed pretty soon in a rather obvious fashion. Certain Dark Council members started after a while to voice openly in front of the whole membership their discontent with the Grand Master on an almost daily basis. He on the other hand remained silent on this kind of behaviour and did not intervene. Doing so the Dark Council with their open quarrelling lost the last bit of respect it had and in the membership's opinion it fell very low.

Instead to go out and battling this decline of esteem Khaen got more and more reclusive and showed himself more and more seldom in the public. Projects that have been started in his tenure never got finished.

By following an action plan almost not at all, laid out to him by the EH High Command he also started to drop in the evaluations of the Fleet Commander and the Executive Officer on a continuous basis. Five months after he started out as Grand Master, Ronin and Astatine decided to relieve Khaen from his position.

====Nocturnus: A Return to Glory====

Although fallen from grace, after his dismissal as Deputy Grand Master, Dark Jedi Master Gelton Torr decided to stay active in the Dark Brotherhood. He returned to Clan Tarentum, the Clan where he originated from, and helped them in their battles against other Clans. During the following months he was able to regain the trust of the EH High Command and to restore his reputation amongst them that had been soiled by his dishonourable dismissal earlier. When the time came to pick a successor to Khaen, he was deemed worthy to become the next Grand Master. Upon appointment he took a name in the tradition of the Sith. Henceforth he also was known as Darth Nocturnus.

He wasted no time to get started as Grand Master, very determined to use this second chance that had been given to him. Quickly together with Astatine in his function as SCL he brought a new standard lightsaber system, designed by the HLRD, to the membership replacing those who have been lost during the split. But Nocturnus also had to face hard and unpleasant decisions. The hardest was to close down Clan Satal Keto, due to low membership counts leaving the Brotherhood with four Clans.

Three months into his tenure he presented the Dark Brotherhood a Rite of Supremacy. For 5 long weeks the Clans battled over the Title "First Clan of the Brotherhood". In the end Clan Tarentum was able to claim that title and become First Clan.

Being 6 months GM he was able to give the Brotherhood back the long lost Grant of Arms, which had vanished from the dossiers since the split as well. At the time of the latest revision of this Compendium, Darth Nocturnus is still Grand Master leading the Dark Brotherhood on its way into the future.

After a successful reign as Grand Master, Nocturnus chose to depart from the Emperor's Hammer Territories and allow a new Grand Master to lead the Dark Brotherhood. When the Deputy Grand Master disappeared soon after Nocturnus, there was no heir-apparent to the Iron Throne.

====Carnifex: Stagnation and Decline====

Following Nocturnus' departure, the Iron Throne remained vacant for four months. In that time, the Master-at-Arms, Kane Reese, oversaw the Dark Brotherhood's operations.

After an extended period of time without a Grand Master, Sith High Warrior Gidda was chosen by the Fleet Commander to lead the Brotherhood. Aupon his ascension to the Iron Throne, Gidda took the name Carnifex. At the beginning of Gidda's reign, spirits in the Dark Brotherhood were high. Many hoped that the new Grand Master, who had been one of the greatest Consuls of Clan Scholae Palatinae, would lead the Brotherhood out of the decline which it had been experiencing in recent times.

It became apparent to the leader of the Brotherhood early in Carnifex's reign that the Grand Master had no plans for the Dark Brotherhood was simply fulfilling duties as he saw fit. The blame for stagnation may not have entirely been Carnifex's, as it appeared to many that he was unwilling to risk upsetting the Grand Admiral following the expulsion of the Krath High Priest, Troutrooper, by Grand Admiral Astatine when the High Priest proposed alterations to the Brotherhood which did not sit well with the fiery Astatine.

Almost a year into Carnifex's reign, the Brotherhood was screaming for action. Grand Admiral Astatine ordered a restructuring of the Brotherhood and Clans Alvaak and Scholae Palatinae were disbanded. Soon after, Carnifex was removed from command following one of his many personal journeys into deep space. Accompanying the orders for the demotion of the Grand Master was a decreet which disbanded the Order Leader positions in the Brotherhood.

====Blade: Stabilization====

Following Nocturnus' removal, Sith High Warrior Ric Taldrya was chosen to lead the Brotherhood. He took his former name of Blade as his Darth name, though it was only used in official capacities. Ric's reign was not progressive, but it did result in the stabilization of the Brotherhood structurally. The era was a confused one, as few of the leaders could agree upon what needed to be done in order to improve the Brotherhood, and many of the Grand Master's suggestions were met with stiff resistance from the Fleet Commander. Ultimately, Blade's half-year reign was a transitional one.

Dark Brotherhood

2026-07-02T03:07:48Z

Turtle Jerrar:

<onlyinclude>The '''Dark Brotherhood''' was a subgroup of the [[Emperor's Hammer]] tasked with finding and training Force Sensitives in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. It has since been replaced by the '''[[Secret Order]]'''. </onlyinclude>

This page discusses the history of the Dark Brotherhood. For information about the Secret Order, please visit the [[DB:Dark_Side_Compendium|Dark Side Compendium]].

==History==
The following is the compilation of research done by Shadonyx, former Chancellor of the Dark Brotherhood, and continued by former Darth Khaen. The document herein is based on information in the Dark Voices, old news posts, and communiqués with older members. This is, at a glance, the true history behind the Dark Brotherhood.

====The Beginning====

Most of the history of the Brotherhood prior to its joining with the Emperor's Hammer has been lost in the mists of antiquity. When Kane Vader, the first known Grand Master, came to the Aurora System his archives were not complete or extensive, and he and his servants were loath to speak of the past. Despite this, the Dark Brotherhood was welcomed into Ronin's vision of a new Imperial order. Thanks, Kane Vader appointed Ronin as the first Headmaster of the Brotherhood's new institution of learning, the Shadow Academy.

Kane Vader did not remain as Grand Master long after the Brotherhood joined the Emperor's Hammer. Unused to working overtly and with such freedom, Kaine soon retired into the darkness whence he came, leaving a new man to take the title of Grand Master.

====Paladin: A Time of Awakening====

Lord Jedgar Octavian Paladin became Grand Master after Kane left. Unlike his predecessor, Paladin had served within the Strike Fleet prior to joining the Brotherhood, and had a clear idea of the power and resources available to him. The shrewd and somewhat ruthless man wasted no time in exploiting those objects for the Brotherhood's benefits.

The Shadow Academy came to full fruition during this time, its first incarnation consisting of three phases of Order-specific training for the Krath and Sith. Robes were finalized, and the dress created during Paladin's reign was used with little alteration until recently. The first edition of the Dark Side Compendium was released, as well as the first Dark Voices; and the Envoys were also created, and were originally conceived as a Brotherhood-aligned Fleet Commander's Honor Guard, with a similar point system. The weekly IRC meetings also became a fixture during Paladin's time. It is also assumed that the Main Body of the Dark Council, as it exists today (excluding Seneschal), was formed as well. The membership total during this period was around 100.

Paladin was rewarded greatly for his efforts as Grand Master. He received a promotion to Fleet Admiral, and the Medal of Honor. After a reign of approximately eight months, Paladin retired from Grand Master. Paladin was one of the most dynamic leaders of the Brotherhood, and he remained with it for a very long time, serving in other positions, but most notably Justicar until it was dissolved in recent times. He also served as the Strike Fleet's High Inquisitor until his disappearance, which some assumed to be his retirement into a life of solitude and study.

====Kreeayt Havok and Crona: An Interim====

Succeeding Paladin as Grand Master was Kreeayt Havoc, the Deputy Grand Master. While Kreeayt's reign was short (approximately three months), he introduced a few new items into the Brotherhood, the most noteworthy being Praetors and Magistrates, which were intended to mirror Command Attachés and Assistants. Praetors were originally given the rank of Dark Side Adept, and formed a Praetorian Diet; which could be used for voting purposes. Magistrates were originally given the rank of Krath Priest/Sith Warrior. At the end of Kreeayt's reign, when he was elevated to Executive Officer of the Strike Fleet, Brotherhood membership had doubled, now boasting a little over 200 members.

Kreeayt's Deputy Grand Master, Crona, was the next Grand Master. The exact date of his appointment is unknown, as the first Dark Voice released in his reign is not dated. However, by this time the Brotherhood's membership was reaching 400 and the Obelisk were now an Order within the Brotherhood. More information from former Grand Master Jac Cotelin reveals that during Crona's reign the Brotherhood had slipped into a relative state of torpidity, and that Tau Squadron became a serious source of dissent. After an altercation with the Fleet Commander, the High Court and the Fleet Commander ousted Crona from Grand Master, and expelled him from the Strike Fleet.

====Jac Cotelin: A Return to Order====

After Crona's expulsion, Grand Admiral Ronin recognized the ability of Jac Cotelin, and elevated him as the new Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood. The most notable achievements of Jac's reign were the creation of Clans and Houses as a way to divide up the membership of the Dark Brotherhood, the addition of ranks between Sith Warrior and Dark Side Adept, the creation of the first medals, and the position of Lord Chamberlain. Jac also purged the Dark Council and expelled Tau Squadron upon appointment, paving the way for a new generation of leaders to control the direction of the Brotherhood - including the mysterious Star Chamber.

While previous accounts of the Star Chamber place it as a thing of ominous power, the truth of the matter is that it was the "Clan of the Dark Council." While not every Dark Council member was part of it, previous Grand Masters and long-standing Council members were part of the Chamber. It was the Star Chamber that chose the direction of the Brotherhood during Jac's reign, and the Dark Council served as the implementers of the Star Chamber's will. Presumably, the Star Chamber existed before Jac's reign, and continued its influence afterwards.

====Justinian Khyron: A Period of Change====

Grand Master Jac resigned after a long, successful tenure in which the Brotherhood grew to over 1000 members. His replacement was Justinian Khyron, a former Master at Arms and a Strike Fleet officer. Khyron's reign was marked by a great deal of change and alteration in Brotherhood structure. He created guidelines on forming House and Clan Crests; the Art of Vendetta, which was created by Paladin, was recognized; the first Great Jedi Wars and Vendettas were held; the position of Archon was created to handle medals, but was also later dissolved, and medals became the responsibilit of the Chancellor; the Grand Master's Royal Guard was created; Clans and Houses were altered into their current forms; Sith Advisor became the Sith High Warrior.

Despite all these advances, a revolt within the ranks occurred. Clan Ar'kell, displeased with the Grand Master and the way the Brotherhood was being run, defected and formed their own sort of Brotherhood, the Society of Shadows, led by the former Ar'kell Consul, Sauron. Not much was done about the defection, save that it was more or less widely ignored by the Dark Council and the Star Chamber, which Sauron blamed for Ar'kell's defection. Khyron reigned for well over a year before resigning.

====Justin Stryker and Khyron's Return: A Second Interim====

After Khyron's resignation, Justin Stryker took over as Grand Master. He reigned for half a year, and did little more than act as a caretaker to the Brotherhood. Upon Stryker's resignation, Khyron returned for a second term as Grand Master. Khyron's second term was not nearly as impressive as his first, and the only thing of only thing of consequence was the alteration of the Clan and House structure to have three Houses per Clan, one for each Order.

After Khyron's second reign, the Star Chamber faded from memory, and while it is assumed that it still held power, its influence and effect on the Brotherhood post-Khyron is unknown.

====Thedek: Technological Advancement====

Thedek, Master-at-Arms, replaced Khyron as Grand Master. His reign included the creation of Oracle, which was originally intended as a position to maintain the Dark Side Compendium, and the Chamber of Justice. Revisions to the Grand Master's Royal Guard, the Envoys, and the Dark Side Compendium were done during this time. Thedek also created the first comprehensive database for the Dark Brotherhood, the former http://www.darkbrotherhood.com/.

====Zoraan: Stagnation====

Following Thedek was Archibald Zoraan, a Consul of Tarentum. His reign was marked by nothing more than a few notable Dark Council appointments, minor revisions to the Dark Side Compendium, and updates to the Shadow Academy. In all other things, Zoraan preferred to act as an esoteric, a foreboding Grand Master; essentially, he was far better acting as Grand Master than being Grand Master. Ultimately, the membership had had enough, and protests began. Zoraan ruthlessly crushed such opposition, twisting existing legal policy and the words in the Dark Side Compendium to his will, and using the Envoys as spies to find dissenters.

In the end, however, the then Executive Officer, Alan Kawolski, and Grand Admiral Ronin intervened, but were met with resistance. Claiming that the Dark Brotherhood was still a "sister organization," Zoraan attempted to dissolve the Emperor's Hammer's hold on the Brotherhood. This is what the former Grand Master had to say on the matter.

Zoraan's attempt at secession failed, however, and he was deposed. Sadly, he managed to wipe most of Thedek's archives before being ousted, setting the Brotherhood back a great deal.

====Chi-Long: A Return to the Old Ways====

After the Zoraan crisis subsided, Chi-Long, formerly known as Faethor, replaced Zoraan as Grand Master. Luckily, most of the Thedek's archives were recovered one way or the other, but Thedek, angered over the appointment of Chi-Long as Grand Master, claimed that all the data within his archives was just that: his, and no one could use it. Apparently, the same insanity that touched Zoraan also touched Thedek, and the former Grand Master was expelled from Imperial space on pain of death. Shortly after, construction of a new database began.

After the initial turmoil, Chi-Long's reign was a strange one. He went through four Deputy Grand Masters during his eight month tenure, and more often took credit for others' projects than constructed his own. He also went on a sabbatical for well over two months, leaving then Deputy Grand Master Astatine in charge for the duration, and later rewarding Astatine by removing him. Perhaps the most famous scandal of his reign was his attempted deposing of Sith High Warrior Firefox. Khan, the Proconsul of Clan Alvaak, had been charged with publicly defaming the Grand Master. Firefox, wishing to aid a friend, submitted a log of Chi-Long insulting and defaming the Fleet Commander.

Many hoped that the new Grand Master, who had been one of the greatest Consuls of Clan Scholae Palatinae, would lead the Brotherhood out of the decline which it had been experiencing in recent times.

It became apparent to the leader of the Brotherhood early in Carnifex's reign that the Grand Master had no plans for the Dark Brotherhood was simply fulfilling duties as he saw fit. The blame for stagnation may not have entirely been Carnifex's, as it appeared to many that he was unwilling to risk upsetting the Grand Admiral following the expulsion of the Krath High Priest, Troutrooper, by Grand Admiral Astatine when the High Priest proposed alterations to the Brotherhood which did not sit well with the fiery Astatine.

Almost a year into Carnifex's reign, the Brotherhood was screaming for action. Grand Admiral Astatine ordered a restructuring of the Brotherhood and Clans Alvaak and Scholae Palatinae were disbanded. Soon after, Carnifex was removed from command following one of his many personal journeys into deep space. Accompanying the orders for the demotion of the Grand Master was a decreet which disbanded the Order Leader positions in the Brotherhood.

====Blade: Stabilization====

Following Nocturnus' removal, Sith High Warrior Ric Taldrya was chosen to lead the Brotherhood. He took his former name of Blade as his Darth name, though it was only used in official capacities. Ric's reign was not progressive, but it did result in the stabilization of the Brotherhood structurally. The era was a confused one, as few of the leaders could agree upon what needed to be done in order to improve the Brotherhood, and many of the Grand Master's suggestions were met with stiff resistance from the Fleet Commander. Ultimately, Blade's half-year reign was a transitional one.

Turtle Jerrar: /* Inactive/Defunct */

{{Emperor's Hammer Manual}}
= Active Subgroups =

=== [[TIE Corps]] ===

The elite TIE Fighter pilots that battle with the Rebel forces and defend the Emperor's Hammer territories.

All pilots must first meet the [http://tc.emperorshammer.org/training.php entrance requirements] before they serve the Imperial Navy as the most elite and highly trained starfighter pilots in the Outer Rim Territories. Entering pilots must first [http://tc.emperorshammer.org/join.php apply] and then complete initial training requirements. They will then will be appointed to a squadron as a [[Flight Member]].

The TIE Corps pilots are active in single-player competitions (using TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance) as well as online (using XvT, XWA, and Star Conflict).

=== [[Secret Order]] ===

The Secret Order is a group that thematically encaptures a Star Wars Universe where operatives utilize their unique set of skills and abilities to place their own stamp on this universe, where members play supported games, take part in competitions and share their creativity all towards the advancement and accolades of their Secret Order persona. It was formally established in 2024 as the successor organization to the Dark Brotherhood. The Secret Order, like the Brotherhood before it, is under the control of the Grand Master as well as the [[Dark Council]].

= Inactive/Defunct =

The following [[Subgroup|subgroups]] were previously operated by the Emperor's Hammer, but are no longer active. Many activities of these subgroups were transferred to other active Emperor's Hammer subgroups.

=== The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi ===

The Dark Brotherhood was the predecessor of the Secret Order.

[[Dark Brotherhood|The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi]] (DB) serves as a secret combat and training society for all those interested in learning the ways of the [[Dark Side of the Force]].

Any member of the Fleet (even those in other [[Subgroup|subgroups]]) may join the Dark Brotherhood without a second email address. These Dark Jedi gain [[:Category:Ranks of the Dark Brotherhood|ranks]] within their Order, [[:Category:Awards of the Dark Brotherhood|medals]], [[:Category:Positions of the Dark Brotherhood|positions]] in a Dark Jedi House or Clan, and prestige as they contribute to the Brotherhood.

The Dark Brotherhood members are active using the same platforms as the TIE Corps as well as an active guild on Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO and various games hosted on Steam (Jedi Knight I and II, Team Fortress 2, and Star Conflict).

=== Hammer's Fist Stormtrooper Legion ===

The [[Hammer's Fist|Hammer's Fist Stormtrooper Legion]] (HF) consists of the elite Stormtroopers of the Emperor's Hammer. These troopers include highly trained Imperial [[Stormtrooper|Stormtroopers]] that perform special operations for the Fleet. There are currently [[Zero-G]] [[Spacetrooper|Spacetroopers]], [[Scout Trooper|Scout Troopers]], [[Sandtrooper|Desert]] and [[Cold Assault Trooper|Cold Assault]]/[[Snowtrooper]] Platoons.

=== Infiltrator Wing ===

Many former rebellion pilots have seen the error of their ways and returned to the New Order of the Empire. Due to the constant need of the remnants of the Imperial Navy for new starfighter pilots, these pilots have been allowed to continue flying their Rebel "alphabet" fighters (i.e. the X-Wing, A-Wing, Y-Wing, and B-Wing) and Capital Ships in the service of the Empire. The [[Infiltrator Wing]] (IW) has been an invaluable internal training tool with the existing EH TIE Fighter Corps.

The Infiltrator Wing is currently inactive as a separate subgroup, but elements of the IW have been commissioned within the [[TIE Corps]].

=== EH Directorate ===

The [[Directorate]]'s (DIR) primary mission is to both secure and help develop planets and colonies to service the Emperor's Hammer. Planetary Governors and their staff officers oversee the political and economic development on every [[System Manual|EH aligned planet and colony]], ensuring that peace and stability exist, while also ensuring that the EH is provided whatever resources and tools it needs to continue. Since the fall of the Empire at the Battle of Endor, the Directorate has been the primary means by which the EH secures and protects its citizens and territories. With vast defense and system fleets, the Directorate is able to respond to all emergencies and contingencies immediately and efficiently. Through trade and politics, the Directorate keeps the vital resources and goods flowing throughout the entire EH territory, while ensuring that the civilian populations on each colony and planet are well cared for and kept secure.

=== Corporate Division ===

The [[Corporate Division]] (CD) consisted of the "slicers" and entrepreneurs of the Fleet. The individual "corporations" are responsible for new fighters, capital ships, weapons, general PC game "innovations", and goods and services in the service of the Fleet. In these dangerous days after Endor and with the Emperor's Hammer Fleet spread throughout the [[System Manual|Emperor's Hammer Territories]], the Corporate Division has been given the authority to field small Picket Fleets for pirate suppression and convoy defense.

=== The Fringe ===

[[The Fringe]] focused on the Star Wars Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORPG) Star Wars Galaxies. The "adventures" took place online in the always running MMORPG where you create and personalize your own character/avatar in both appearance, style and profession. Previously, the Fringe also heavily relied on existing West End Games Star Wars RPG (TM) Rules and Sourcebooks.

=== Bounty Hunters' Guild ===

The Fleet Commander occasionally authorizes the use of independent [[bounty hunter|Bounty Hunters]] and mercenaries for the greater good of the Empire in order to keep the Imperial war machine supplied and the civilian population in check. In the [[Bounty Hunters' Guild]] (BHG), hunters undertake WWW missions, IRC and WWW 'hunts,' fiction writing and graphics creation competitions, etc. Through these activities, hunters gain Imperial Credits and thus advancement in the BHG. The BHG was also formerly known as the Smuggler's Guild and later The Guild.

=== Intelligence Division ===

The [[Intelligence Division]] (ID) serves as the eyes and ears of the Emperor's Hammer in the chaotic region of the Outer Rim Territories. The ID keeps a close watch not only on our internal Fleet workings but also external threats. Individual 'Bureaus' and 'Branches' of Intel perform highly secret and critical functions for the Fleet. These can include VIP escort, infiltration, information gathering, etc. Although Fighter Missions are used by some Branches of 'Intel', purchase of a flightsim game is not needed to join Intel as WWW and IRC 'hunts' and 'black ops' are conducted as well.

=== [[Imperial Senate]] ===

Although the entire Imperial Senate was officially dissolved by decree of Emperor Palpatine just prior to the destruction of the first Death Star at Yavin IV, Grand Admiral Ronin has allowed the Imperial Citizenry to reform the Imperial Senate in the Outer Rim to assist with the management of civilian resources throughout the Territories and to free the Fleet's military structure to defeating the ever-lingering Rebellion.

The Subgroup is comprised a large number of planets, each harboring two Senators and five Representatives, constituting a delegation of seven individuals. When a member graduates from the Imperial University, he or she joins a party and applies to a planet, where they can participate in Planetary Issues, voting and discussing on domestic issues and their interplanetary implications. If a Representative achieves Senator, he can then participate in Senate Issues and debate the finer points of interplanetary policy, civil and political rights, and the Emperor's Hammer.

=== EH: Star Wars CCG ===
In order to provide a decidedly "Imperial perspective" to the popular Star Wars: Customizable Card Game (SW:CCG) produced by Decipher, the EH: Star Wars CCG (EH:CCG) subgroup was added to the Emperor's Hammer. EH:CCG utilized existing published cards in online, real-time CCG gameplay.

= Support Organizations/Miscellaneous =

In addition to officially recognized subgroups, the Emperor's Hammer has also operated several smaller task-oriented '''support organizations'''.

=== EH Advanced Guard ===
As "Ambassadors" of the Emperor's Hammer, the [[Advanced Guard|EH Advanced Guard]] is comprised of only the most trusted and loyal Imperials. The EH Advanced Guard represents the Emperor's Hammer to various online clubs, magazines, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), WWW sites, etc. In addition, the Ambassadors of the Advanced Guard have made recruitment of new Imperials to the Emperor's Hammer their primary goal. The Advanced Guard is led by the [[Lord Ambassador]] (LA) and the Ambassadors (AM).

=== Fleet Naval Corps ===

The [[Fleet Naval Corps]] opened the doors of Echo Company to new recruits. The Naval Corps exists introduce an Naval element into the TIE Corps, and officers joining the Naval Corps will be assigned to command the numerous Cruisers, Frigates and Corvettes that accompany the Imperial Star Destroyers of the TIE Fighter Corps. The Naval Corps will utilize X-Wing Alliance to conduct Fleet Wargames similar to the recent Fleet Strategic Battle Exercise - Imperial Storm.

=== Fleet Medical Corps ===

The [[Fleet Medical Corps]] (FMC) was a support organization that was tasked with strengthening the morale of EH members and encouraging member retention. FMC members were assigned to units in some but not all of the subgroups. Doctors and their Nurse assistants would offer assistance but not RL medical advice.

=== Sector Rangers ===

The [[Sector Rangers]] were a small group of volunteers attached to the Security Office that spent time in the EH IRC channels and on the message boards looking for opportunities to provide assistance anyone looking for help and relay observed misconduct to the Security Officer.

=== EH Imperial Survey Corps (ISC) ===

A previous support organization serving as scouts for the Fleet, with contributions populating the [[System Manual]]. ISC Corvettes and survey ships continually roamed the Outer Rim Territories, searching for new planetary systems for the Empire to "liberate". The ISC was rolled into the [[Directorate]] upon its founding.

=== EH Civilian Command Authority (CCA) ===

A previous support organization that focused on system politics and fleet tactics within the Emperor's Hammer territories. The CCA was rolled into the [[Directorate]] upon its founding.

=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood ===

The [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/The_Brotherhood Dark Jedi Brotherhood] was affiliated with the Emperor's Hammer for many years until seceding from the Emperor's Hammer in [[Galactic Timeline|2003]]. It shares a common ancestry with [[Dark Brotherhood|The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi]], itself serving as the predecessor organization of the [[Secret Order|Emperor's Hammer Secret Order]].

__NOTOC__
Welcome to the '''Emperor's Hammer Manual'''. This manual is a central resource and reference for the entire [[Emperor's Hammer]] (EH), covering a vast range of topics from ranks and medals to the structure within the Emperor's Hammer. This manual provides all of the information needed to function and enjoy a career in the club. The Emperor's Hammer is a complex and dynamic organization. Emperor's Hammer veterans are encouraged to periodically review the contents herein, as they are revised as needed.

== About the Emperor's Hammer ==

The '''Emperor's Hammer''' (formally the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet) is a historied Star Wars fan club that has supported Star Wars gaming and fan content creation since 1995. This has been through the establishment of various thematic [[subgroup|subgroups]] that deliver community, collaboration, competition, and a Star Wars-flavored experience that picks up at the fringes of official media. The original trilogy of Star Wars movies depicted the conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. The Emperor's Hammer has a roleplay aspect to it in that our structure is based on our idea of how a piece of the Empire might have continued the fight and operate after the the fall of the Galactic Empire.

For information about the background and history of the Emperor's Hammer, see the article [[Emperor's Hammer]]. The [[Galactic Timeline]] also provides information about the context of the Emperor's Hammer within the Star Wars (and real-world) timeline.

== Activities ==

The Emperor's Hammer is primarily based on online multiplayer or role play gaming in the Star Wars universe, however there are many other activities and events available across the club. The thematic elements of each subgroup tend to focus gaming activity within specific areas/genres (for example, the [[TIE Corps]] focuses heavily on space combat sims), but this is not a rigid rule. Review the [[Subgroup|subgroups]] to learn more about their thematic elements and supported games.

As an organization that originally grew from single player Star Wars gaming, members of the Emperor's Hammer have also created thousands of custom missions/maps for Star Wars games in the single player mode. They are available for download from the [https://www.emperorshammer.org/battlecenter.php Emperor's Hammer Battle Center].

Through their activity, members earn recognition on their member profile (personnel record) including flight and combat ratings, ranks, academic qualifications, awards, and titles. Awards may recognize specific activity accomplishments, as well as meritorious achievements for members that help improve the Emperor's Hammer for other members.

The following sections contain a brief summary of some of the activities to participate in within the Emperor's Hammer.

=== Gaming Activities ===

'''Space Combat Simulators'''

Members who participate in multiplayer gaming in supported games may receive credit on their member profiles for qualifying activity (such as winning multiplayer matches or playing with other Emperor's Hammer members). Game recognition requirements will vary by subgroup.

The EH also offers the largest library of custom missions for single player gaming in our supported game platforms. The current list of single player games with custom missions is available on the [https://www.emperorshammer.org/battlecenter.php Emperor's Hammer Battle Center]. Similar to multiplayer gaming, members who complete custom missions may receive flight credit on their member profiles.

Written thesis material (for Graduate qualifications) are made available to the membership through publication in ''Proceedings'', the academic journal of the Emperor's Hammer.

=== Campaigns and Competitions ===

All of the activities listed above can be done as an individual effort at any time. You don't wait for some "official" event to come along to be active! When official events do come along, it is always a big event. Official events generally fall into two categories: Campaigns and Competitions.

An Emperor's Hammer [[campaign]] is a named operation that advances the EH plotline with broad participation by members in one or more subgroups. Campaigns generally center around major fleet-wide activities that occur throughout the year. Two of the largest activities used for the basis for moving the plot are Imperial Storm and Raise the Flag; both occur once per year. In some circumstances, a [[General Campaign Medal]] with appropriate clasp may be awarded to participants in approved campaigns. Campaigns are big events and frequently have many different activities to encourage everyone to participate.

Competitions are events held typically at the unit or subgroup level, pitting unit against unit at various echelons (Squadron, Ship, etc.). Intra-unit competitions can settle who is the best flight in a squadron or squad in a platoon. Competitions may be run by any member, and only require approval at the Subgroup Command level. Certain competitions may be created at the Fleet level, allowing for participation by members from any subgroup.

== Structure ==

[[File:Eh-org-chart-20230819.png|1000px]]
