## Historical Records (Before the Treaty of Coruscant)

### The Dark Order is Founded

On **55 BTC [IP]**, The Dark Order, the precursor to the Imperial Praxeum was founded in 55 BTC, by twelve members of the Sith Empire; they were each chosen for their skills, ranging from combative skills, to sorcery skills. Not much records exist of the original founding members, save for Darth Souverän, who was one of those who focused on sorcery and alchemy.

The original purpose of the Dark Order was to teach disciples in the way of the dark side, and provide a vanguard for the Sith Empire and their future plans. As such, they did all they could to gather any and all necessary information, tools, personnel, and knowledge to complete their objectives.

After everything was gathered, they set forward to find a base of operations for their future endeavors, and upon a careful discussion between the members of the Dark Order, they had chosen to base themselves on the Imperial Capital of Dromund Kass; due to the proximity to the Dark Council, the Emperor, and its connection in the dark side.

### The Order of the Dawn is Founded

**33 BTC [OD]**, the Jedi Knight Em'brul, a relatively unknown Jedi, with no great unique trait save for his ability to provide wisdom, and cast doubt into the minds of those who are unprepared.

### The Fall of the Dark Order

**27 BTC [IP]**, following the losses that occurred during the Battle of Korriban, and the subsequent invasion of the Republic, the Dark Order had lost the vast majority of their members, all but 2 founders remained, and merely 7 acolytes. This meant that the Dark Order was at death's door, and came ever closer to collapse as the war raged on. As time went on, more members had perished in battle. First, the seven acolytes had fallen in battle. Then, the second remaining founder had been slain in personal combat with Jedi Knight, Em'brul, who though was not a lightsaber combatant, was able to use the force to cloud the mind of the attacker. With this death, the only remaining member was Darth Souverän, the Dark Order had been effectively wiped out.

### The Alchemist Arises

**26 BTC [IP]**, the sole surviving member of the Dark Order, Darth Souverän, having lost his comrades had begun to attempt to figure out a way to ensure the survival of their teachings, and those of the Sith as a whole. In order to do this, he had chosen to pursue the arts of Sith Alchemy, trying to find ways to preserve any knowledge he could, hunting for anything he didn't know.

### The Formation of the Imperial Praxeum

**25 BTC [IP]**, following a year of searching for knowledge, Darth Souverän had discovered that he could not figure everything out on his own, and needed an organisation to aid in his endeavours; if not to seek the information, but to at least practice the information on. With this in mind, he learned what must be done; a revival of order. The creation of the Imperial Praxeum.

## Historical Records (After the Treaty of Coruscant)

### The Fall of the Draugr

**16 ATC [CH]**, Following the loss of the Yavin IV Praxeum, the remnants of the Imperial Praxeum attempted a retreat to safe territory. Leading up to the retreat, and during, many of the heroes and leaders of the Praxeum had fallen in battle. A key moment of this was when the Draugr, Flagship of the Imperial Praxeum, had been assaulted and boarded before it could jump to hyperspace.

During the assault, Lord Saenik, while under heavy combat, ordered the crew of the ship, barring those necessary, to evacuate to their personal ships, shuttles, or escape pods, if at all possible. He had come up with a plan to ensure that the attackers wouldn't be able to escape, or survive to tell the story, by forcing the ship to jump to hyperspace, overriding the safety to make it ignore a gravity well, and crash into a planet; taking everyone on board along with it.

Knowing his loyalty to the Praxeum, many of the crew chose to stay with him, in order to ensure the success of this plan. Fighting to keep control of the bridge, they were able to work together, under the leadership of Lord Saenik, to finish setting up the ships computers for the jump. As soon as it was ready, they initiated the jump, which to the surprise of the invaders, came with blaring klaxon alarms. With them distracted, and knowing there would only be bare moments to escape when the ship exited hyperspace when it crashes, the crew and Lord Saenik ran to the escape pods, waiting for the exact moment to escape.

Counting down the time until the exit, some of the crew did what they could to ensure the safe escape of the others, hoping that they could survive and rebuild the Praxeum. Finally, the moment that the ship felt as it were being pulled out of hyperspace by a large body, they made their escape. Though there were 10 escape pods that were launched at that moment, only two had successfully escaped without taking major damage, however, the pod containing Lord Saenik had been caught in the explosion of the Draugr as it crashed into the planet below, causing its systems to fail as it fell towards the planet below; causing those inside of it fatal injuries, the only survivor being the Sith Lord himself, though not unscathed. Soon after, they knew that they had won this battle, though at a great cost.
