## **Biography**

(**Life before the Empire)**

Born in Orax countless years ago, I-Ron became a real individual just 2500 years ago, after absorbing enough memories and intelligence from his peers to have a conscience of its own. Inside his hive-mind he completely loved to be part of political and philosophical debates that could last hundreds and hundreds of years, reviewing just a single argument to look for its weakness or strengths, etc.

In 100 BBY he was finally put inside a droid body, taken off world by the B´oomar Order to further research the intricacies of philosophy, in order to bring new knowledge to his hive-mind.

There he trained himself as a monk without a name nor moniker, separating the physical world from the realms of the unseen, he was able to grasp during 100 years of training the subtle teachings of the B´oomar Gurus and Monks. Shunning the physical world completely, not needing anything else but the force to see, starting to train in the use of mental powers of the force meanwhile. He was self taught, as his training with the monks made him shun speech or communications of all kind, I-Ron was forced to learn others ways of communications, telepathy was one of his first abilities that he taught to himself. There, inside the brains of others, he learned how to pull strings and started the early and primitive motions that later, with Sith training, would turn into Mind Shard, Mind Probe, Mind Trick, etc.

He rose to the top of the order, spending 27 years in total seclusion as a show of utter devotion to the monks, where he was not allowed to see anything from the outside world, speak no anyone, etc. He was his own universe, completely centered on himself.

*I am the center of this universe*

*The wind of time is blowing through me*

*And it's all moving relative to me*

*It's all a figment of my mind*

*In a world that I've designed*

*I'm charged with cosmic energy*

*Has the world gone mad or is it me?”*

After he emerged the Shard was in a state of Nirvana. He chose the name of I-Ron-Butterfly by scrambling human words in a semi coherent succession. Letting go of everything he started to sow the seeds of what one day would turn into his personal Sith Philosophy.

*"Instinct is a lie, told by a fearful body, hoping to be wrong."*

Here I-Ron shuns all human behavior, all animal instinct.

*“Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.”*

The most important thing to this enlightened being is self discipline, the mastery over one's body and mind. Complete control of everything one has on the inside and the outside. From that moment onward I-Ron would at least hold to those teachings of the B´oomar, shunning the physical in favor of the esoteric, what which cannot be quantified by man-made science, setting the path of the Sith Eldritch Sorcerer in the future.

In 0 BBY he came back to his planet Orax with a multitude of Shards that were able to use the force in a similar way as he. Finding only the Empire inside. I-Ron had meditated for so long that a great war had happened under his nose, and now a Galactic Empire rested on the place of the Old Republic.

### **The First Jihad - Empire**

When the planet Orax started to be strip mined the answer of the Shards was not really a surprise to anyone.

They launched a Jihad, the first in Shard history, against the oppressors. Vowing to never stop until the Galactic Empire was completely destroyed and devoid of life, a concept borrowed from the Ar´Krai of the Bothan, adopted and renamed by the Shards of Orax.

Fighting a defensive war, purely to eradicate the enemy invading the planet, and fueled by the complete detachment to suffering and pain that the Shards now possessed by their training under the monks, they launched a terrible war of guerrilla, sabotaging countless tons of materiel, killing every imperial citizen inside Orax to create a sense of total dread inside the invaders. This Jihad did not ended in the liberation of Orax, since I-Ron, now war savvy, assumed that the Empire would just come back, and so he rebranded himself a member of the Rebel Alliance to defeat the Empire as a whole, understanding that in order to free his people, the entire system, the iron cage, had to be brought down. Everything else would be a transitory experience.

After that point I-Ron with some of the Shards, both force sensitive and non force sensitive alike, helped in many campaigns against the Empire. The Mindor Campaign, where he learned Mechu Deru, The Battle of Endor. He was hunted by Inquisitors time and time again, helping the Rebel Alliance to create Anti Vader Drills by learning the tactics of dark jedi from killing inquisitors. Of course, they proved to be completely useless, and only created a sheer dark awe in the memory of I-Ron the visage of Lord Vader. He recalls the death of at least three inquisitors in single combat, dark jedi Iblis Beria in 2 ABY, Inquisitor Jorah Sevastel in 10 ABY, and Nigthsister turned Inquisitor for the Shadow Academy Sammus Enko in 23 ABY.

### **The B'oomar Monks expansion**

At the end of 20 ABY I-Ron was finally able to rest safe with the rest of Shards in Orax, only rising to action sparingly across the years for minor campaigns that did not fully needed from his Shard warriors. He was able to rest, yet his mind was all the time in a state of alert. He had no enemy to fight now, but he felt as he was still at war, the energy spent at last and his droid destroyed. He exiled himself to Tatooine, traveling from Orax to the place where now the Monks rested, in the palace of Jabba the Hutt. The order of the B´oomar Monks grew exponentially, with countless brains in jars that had been enlightened just like I-Ron was in the past. He made the planet his home, taking a liking to the Tusken population. Eventually, his restlessness turned into a plan.

### **The Tusken Hive**

The Tusken culture amazed I-Ron, a hardiness like no others in the galaxy, a planet that shaped them into great warriors in total control of their own bodies, that lived in a permanent state of scarcity and fighting for their lives. He went native. Studying the tribes long enough until his mind, so accustomed to a Hivemind, started to think itself as part of the “Tusken Hive”.

A great number of Iron Knights from the Jedi Praxeum of Luke Skywalker came to enlist I-Ron into their ranks at the same time, but his dominion over mind trick lured them into his will, and made them part of that so called “Tusken Hive”. Easy were the knowledge of the jedi was absorbed into the Shards, and the warlike customs of the tusken, and the philosophy of the Monks. A weird brand of Dark Jedi they were, being extremely war torned by the horrific war crimes committed to ever see the light again, they had no choice, I-Ron had no choice, but to embrace the rage and despair that it brought.

### **The Second Jihad - Invaders of Tatooine**

After the Vong War, where Jihad was called once again to defend Tatooine from an invader force, I-Ron was decided to muster all his forces to make sure something like that would never happen again.

A plan was devised, the Tusken Raiders were now part of the B´oomar Monks, and the monks were now part of the Shard Hivemind. Creating a parasitic hive that would be, during 140 years, turned into a holy army. A breeding program that mixed all the characteristics of the three mentioned orders to create something new, just like the Sorcerers of Rhand did once. The details of the breeding program and the cultural crisscrossing is neither here nor there, ((*written in the form of 6 Fanfics in the ESE facebook page*)).

But, in time, that gave the basis for the coming of I-Ron into the Empire after the fall of Krayts Empire. After the Sith Trails were once again open I-Ron enlisted on it to try to hoard as much knowledge as he could to bring back to his Hive Home.

He went native, extremely hard.

### ( **Life In the Empire )**

Completely immersed in the teachings of the Sith, I-Ron finally was happy, after finding that which was far away from him, a purpose. He started to believe all the lies that the breeding program told the natives, and now he christened himself as an eldritch priest of Dreadwar, forgetting his original home and his original people, being completely loyal to the Sith and the Sith only.

From there, he rose thru the Sith Ranks, being an apprentice of Lord Nathemus, a prominent member of House Dreadwar, Eldritch Priest and Inquisitor. The joke was finally on I-Ron, he was now an inquisitor after all the years of fighting against them. But he could not be more happy about it.

## The Alma Maula

The Alma Maula is a greatsword made of the bones of a krait dragon, refined with a geological compressor around the original claws, now standing around 213 centimeters, from pommel to tip. I-Ron used the same techniques as creating a lightsaber crystal for the making of the weapon, but making an extremely sharp fossil instead of a carbon based crystal. As it is, it is saber resistant, but not proof, repeated saber blows can completely destroy the weapon beyond repair. The hilt has a small neuranium rod to help balance the sword, with a total weight of 6 kilograms, making it impossible for a non augmented human even at peak condition to wield it. Both its sharpness and weight allows the sword to even cut light tank fuselage, spacer armor, etc. But against more exotic materials, like impervium, phrik, songsteel, etc, it is utterly useless.

## Saint Alia of the Knife, body

Duranium alloy metal feminine figure.

IG-110 servos

Substance analyzer (Taste and smell),

Optics including: Night Vision, thermal, and zoom function up to 25 m (Sight).

Advanced hearing sensors (Hearing).

Its primary use is to appear as a human handmaiden of Lady Traya, Chume of Happan, not designed for combat, only to have extra eyes and ears on the royals of the planet. And of course, to use it in Sith banquets, feasts, etc.

## The Mauller, body

    Systems: Advanced Sensor Package including thermal photoreceptors and night vision

Upgraded servomotors originally intended for a IG-110 for human-like locomotion, specially to mimic Jedi and Sith smooth movements.

Full-Spectrum receiver

Commlink antenna attached

Magnetized hands and feets

Twin Thorium Fusion Reactors (1g/reactor) with tibana gelatin coolant system

Medical Sensors to gauge: pheromones, cardiac sensor, and calculate how damaged an enemy is overall.

Equipment: Coltan-Duranium alloy endoskeleton capable of withstanding Temperatures of 3000°. Lore-wise its the same endoskeleton used for the YVH model, but with another material used for its construction.

The head of a YVH to have the exact same sensors of them, but with cosmetic changes to resemble Darth Maul.

Chassis and Helmet made to resemble actual armor, not a real chasis. Made from an alloy of Turandium and Agrinium, and on top of the chassis there is 2mm of Dallorian alloy dyed black for maximum protection.

A permanently attached black robe made of Syntmesh that grants him limited resistance to environmental hazards, acid and blaster bolts.

Impressive war droid, with a weight of 300 kg its extremely heavy and hard to topple with basic TK. Built for combat and combat only, its main purpose is to be a shoocktroper for other troops to rally around in a charge. Its origin lies in a combination of the YVH and the IG-

110 models. Extremely costly and unique, if this one breaks its extremely hard to replace, let alone get new parts to replace old ones.

## Chume´s Jihad, body

Systems: The exact same system for the eyes, the ears, and the nose and taste that the Saint of the Knife has. This body is nothing more than the head of the first body on top of a different chassis, allowing more options when going into battle in the Hapes Consortium, near Hapes troops, or near its territories.

The body is a repainted BL-Battle Legionnaire droid, with special painting to appear as if the Handmaiden was using armor.

The only difference in sensors is that the zoom on the optics is upgraded to military standards, up to 100 meters of zoom.

The Right arm of this model is lightsaber proof and with upgraded blaster resistance, thanks to an alchemizing process.

Since I-Ron cannot break character at any moment, she is unable to use the Mauler Body when going into battle alongside the Hapes Cluster, so she created this body to act as the middle ground.

## **The Hawkwind**

A Shadow Droid from the old Dark Empire. It houses the shard in the same place where it would house a brain. Contains room for one droid body, and a spring loader to, at a moments notice, jettison the shard inside the droid and drop it like a paratrooper in the middle of combat. It also has a layer of dallorian alloy, completely removing the stealth capabilities, but letting the ship tank two times more damage than it should.

It has a completely different loadout of weapons. Instead of proton torpedoes it has 6 Baradium Armor Piercing misiles. And, a turret mounted tri maser cannon to replace the rest of the weapons.

## Apollyon´s Jihad

I-Rons personal battleship, won in the strugle against the disgraced Master Halcyon, it was meant to be his flagship when he became second of House Halcyon but the greedy master, jealous of I-Ron´s power and potential kept it away from him. Until I-Ron took matters into his own hands and invaded alone the perimeter of Mechis 3 on its own, and beat the Master into a bloody pulp, taking the ship by force of cunning and magic, leaving the disgraced Sith a shame and a disgust to everyone.
