Oblivion Verdict

## General Overview

The Oblivion Verdict are a rogue Black Eye Consortium based military force that has taken it upon themselves to protect the integrity of the galaxy at all costs. Their origins stems from the Voidbane Task Force, an elite military force founded and employed by the Consortium's board of directors to confront the dangers of the Void, and counter the extreme methods of the Cult of the Black Goat by equally extreme measures. Specializing in weaponry designed to specifically counter Verakian technology, they were used to ward off Consortium boarders from void forces through means of positron loaded railguns.

Discovering Tempestrium shortly after the Commonwealth did, the Consortium rerouted the mined reserves from stripmining Tempestria, nearly breaking the planet in the process via forced orbital mining. Utilizing this technology, the Voidbane Task Force armed their railguns with Tempestrium bolts to launch against Void based ships as a highly destructive intimidation weapon to dissuade the void aligned forces.

After seeing the unusual reaction with Tempestrium and void space when an explosive was detonated a massive amount of Tempestrium within void affected Omega Quadrant space, they began experimenting with combining Nuridiumn and Tempestrium, partially disentegrating a Suicide Lab via entropy in the process. Deducing this new line of weapons had extreme anti-material properties, they began further experimenting with this phenomenon, the *U.S.S. Nemesis* recovering some of their findings on an abandoned Nuridium mine that they had taken residence in, processing some of it to create new ships of exotic Consortium designs, rigged to be able to protect itself from minor entropic emissions.
Near the end of the Void War, the Board of Directors deliberated on initiating an decision they came to call the Oblivion Verdict. This desperate act would use a large payload of these new hybrid weapons to attempt to erase the Voidmother to atoms, settling to initiate it should all else fail to stop the void expansion.

After the end of the Void War in which the *U.S.S. Callisto* successfully restored the containment barrier sealing the Void away, the Voidbane Task Force was deemed unnecessary by the Board of Directors and terminated, much to the ire of their Khydallan leader Laekada Davaxi who was hellbent on ending the Voidmother, even past her being sealed within the center of the Black Eye Galaxy. Taking matters into her own hands, she decides to pull out all of the soldiers still loyal to her and her cause, renaming themselves the Oblivion Verdict as a means of aligning themselves with their new purpose: To be the final word when the galaxy itself is on the line.

The Oblivion Verdict was successfully persuaded by Sly after following a list of organizations compiled by Consortium Intelligence that could have viable solutions againgst the Pryde, that Lurai Kir had relayed to the *U.S.S. Claidheamh Mòr*. Opting to aid them, Laekada deduced that a biological problem required a biological solution, option to show the crew their untested Anti-Old One virus, along with some collaboration in rigging it to affect Eternium. In the battle of the Pryde Worldship, the virus proved only partially effective, debilitating the Eternium's usual immunity to energy weapons and stunting their regeneration.

In the aftermath of the Pryde War, Laekada Davaxi was invited to the U.S.S. Claidheamh Mòr to participate in celebrations. *General Sylveris Lunamonde* later consults with Laekada about the future and the uncertainty it holds, deducing that they can research uses of dead Eternium flesh to create experimental devices for use against entities that threaten the galaxy. Collaborating with the Claidheamh Mòr, the Oblivion Verdict is now assisting in creating a Black Ops facility inside of the destroyed worldship, now known as Devil's Ruin.
