Organizations

## **Northern Reaches (Major Powers)**

### **Reborn Empire**

*Allegedly reforged by a rogue agent of the old Sith Empire, with the intent on destroying the Sith - one of the few powers to explicitly prevent any 'Sensitive' individuals to government roles - the Emperor particularly. They do command force-based orders, but they are forbidden from positions of power.*

#### Reborn Knights

* *An elite corps of force wielders for the Reborn, and the only allowed position of power for force users within the Empire.*

#### The Bitthaevrians

* *Named for the species that makes up the majority of their ranks, the Bitthaevrians are the police forces of the Empire - their tall and quilled forms making for an intimidating figure.*

### **Sith Empire**

*The only government, aside from the Hutts to the southeast, to survive the great plague. Their allegiance with the Corporate Sector grants them a financial power to stand up to the otherwise more secure and wealthy Reborn Empire. Their recent expansion into the Kanz Sector and winning over the Zygerrians puts them at even further direct odds with the other major powers.*

### **Mantellian Tetrarchy**

*A state formed from the ashes of a centuries-old Separatist movement against the forgotten and fallen Galactic Republic. Four species hold major power - Mantellian Humans, Aleen, Patitite and Ithorians. Many jostle to try and earn a seat at the table, with many displeased with the Ithorians recent ascension.*

#### The Jin'ha

* *A dedicated special forces group formed from the species of the same name, famed for their use of Arakhs in combat.*

#### Outreach Corps

* *The special forces and diplomatic arm of the Tetrarchy, set to assess unaligned worlds and stop the encroachment of foreign powers onto Tetrarchy lands.*

### **Mandalorians**

*Born from the old Warrior clans. If legends are true, they were reforged by a milennia old warrior that has brought them to heights not seen in a thousand years. They are not just regular warriors, their Mandalorian Knights are a terror to behold on the battlefield - embodying a perfect warrior paired with the strength of the Force.*

#### The Protectors

* *Elite members of the Mandalorian forces appointed as regional commanders. Subservient to Sector Marshals.*

### **Ciutric Hegemony**

*A small neutral state wedged between the three superpowers of the Northern Reaches - the Reborn, the Sith and the Mandalorians.*

## **Northern Reaches (Minor)**

### **Jakaro Sharpshooters**

* *Named for their founders - Jako, Karven and Ro-koh - the Sharpshooters are a mercenary crew formed out of Ragescale defectors that sided with the Party during the Battle for Jiuroctown. Currently on Tek'rit IX with plans to seek work elsewhere.*

## **Eastern Rim**

### **New Hutt Empire**

*The only other power bar the Sith to survive the Great Plague. Their long lives mean that they progressively expanded, seeing no need in rapid expansion. Old servitor races are now fully under their control - such as the Gamorreans, Iotra and Nimbanels. For many, they are the superpower to fear.*

## **Tri-Contested Zone**

### **Tek'rit IX**

*A small and otherwise unimportant planet, currently embroiled in a curious weapons race.*

#### Ragescale Raiders

* *A band of former pirates and scavengers who suddenly rose to power, ousting the former overlord Grastudo. Another change of power soon after saw the rise of Jiuroc and a shift in interests. They settled in for good, and began to scavenge the surrounding countryside with reckless abandon, even finding and looting an ancient and ruined Mandalorian cruiser that had crashed centuries prior. Their motives are still mysterious, with new information suggesting an ulterior motive beyond simple greed. Now broken and essentially defunct following the Battle for Jiuroctown.*

#### Sandriders

* *A feared band (for the Ragescale) of outcasts led by the fearsome and almost mythical warrior, Jiunnesh "the Barded Bell". A splinter group of the Ragescale, Jiunnesh tore away after a fight over "matters of conscience", and has since dedicated the group to fighting the Ragescale, freeing their slaves and escaping away from this horrible planet. They seem to even have ways of directing the Dunewyrms, or at least Jiunnesh has learned of a way to.*

#### Kovo Clans

* *An unknown third party in the fight, comprised of Togruta and led by the so far unseen Mara Kovo.*

## **Unknown Reach**

### Sunborn

* *A monastic Order of Force Users tied to the monitoring and maintenance of seals said to imprison ancient evils (called the Darkborn) that once ravaged the galaxy. The Oden Vector would nearly wipe them out, with only one known member still alive by 600 AOV. With nobody to look over them, Kei-yon Sarda believes the seals have begun to weaken as the galaxy grew empty and dark. One of the Darkborn was allegedly even released by an unnamed third party at an unknown time prior to the Vector, but was re-sealed before it could gain strength.*

## **Criminal Organizations**

### **Galactic Scale**

#### **The Black Sun**

* *The Black Sun are one of the few criminal organizations still active to have survived the Grand Plague. Originally a simple band of gangsters taking advantage of a weakness in the Galactic Republic, they are now present across the galaxy - with members first met on Cademimu 5.*
* **Known Presence:**
	+ Reborn Empire

### **Sector Scale**

#### **Darkstar Chaoticians**

* *A band of pirates and dealers, the Darkstar have slowly started to expand in recent years - having run-ins with Qwori, most notably on Tek'rit IX which lead to the death of one of their bosses. Noted presence on Cademimu Five.*
* **Known Presence:**
	+ Cademimu Sector
	+ Tri-Contested Zone

#### **Edil's Faction**

* *Former Ragescale members, known at the time as the 'Old Ragescale', who were more out for hedonistic pursuits and piracy than the conquest and torrid violence being perpetuated by Jiuroc. Convinced by Vale to remain neutral during the Battle for Jiuroctown in return for claiming his ships. During the course of the battle, they made their calm departure aboard Jiuroc's freighters, and are currently in locations unknown.*
* **Known Presence:**
	+ Tri-Contested Zone

### **Planetary Scale**

#### Kedegor's Network

* *The placeholder name of an otherwise unnamed gang overseeing the tenuous alliance of other factions on Cademimu 5. Centered on protection, goods and information gathering, they are somehow connected to Do'frok'essen, as Kedegor is one of the few to actually know who the enigmatic person is,.*
* **Known Presence:**
	+ Cademimu 5

#### **Korlac Vandals**

* *Newblood criminals amongst the otherwise long-standing gangs of the underbowels of Cademimu Five. Unlike their fellows, they hold no loyalties to the established hierarchy, and so threaten to upend the tentative peace in the underlevels. Seemingly annihilated by a loose alliance of the other gangs on the planet.*
* **Known Presence:**
	+ Cademimu 5 (wiped out)
