And that I shall at all times be ready to give my life for this oath."
- Description: The Chosen Praetorian Guard is an elite guard unit created and recruited by Darth Titanus himself and is entirely composed of Non-Force Users. They are following the tradition of the original Imperial Guard by devotion and selection, only the fiercest and most zealous will be permitted to join and will henceforth share a strong mental impregnation by the Dark Lord, leaving them absolutely devote to his bidding and unwaveringly loyal. They are raised and indoctrinated in the mindset of the Reconstituted Sith Empire being the greatest incarnation of the Sith yet and that it can only be brought back by the rule of a true Dark Lord of the Sith. Trained in various aspects of warfare and missions, they are fully capable of taking on Jedi and Sith alike, execute the Dark Lords enemies or simply act as the stalwart protectors of his interests and holdings. Furthermore, there is a deep rooted and fierce brotherhood in the Guard, emphasizing not only on their loyalty to their overlord but also to each other.

The Chosen started as mere field unit in the Sith Empire, frontline soldiers who had some additional training and were quite capable at performing missions in conjunction with Special Operations Forces. Deep deployments, fifth column tactics and shock trooper assaults, a good combination of care and brute force. Eventually the unit was getting under the command of Lord Virdrak and would develop into his personal enforcers, straying further from the battlefield and more into individual duties and deployments and acting as Guard for his estate.
During his time on Tash-Taral,
Draker Vaiken-Valoris
spend some of his time into finding and developing a school for this unit, an academy within the halls of his home, Castle Nemeton where they would be trained by some of the most illustrous and skilled instructors of the Galaxy in melee combat, both with bladed and staff weapons as well as unarmed combat, such as Echani Martial Arts and Teräs Käsi. Their training and selection grew ever more intense with time passing, utilizing information and data from both the Imperial Guard of Darth Vitiate as well as the Emperor's Royal Guard and the Elite Praetorian Guard. Eventually their selection would be paired with a mental imprinting process which connected and bound them to the Will of Titanus directly, making them fanatics and zealots. As only military unit at the time, they were usually dealing with slaves, laborers or droids and therefore grew an incredibly strong bond between each other as well, making them not only true comrades but also excellent group fighters, knowing each other and moving in absolute cohesion.
Of course there would be potential drawbacks, if their overlord would due to some incident be disconnected from the Force or even killed, they would go insane and lose all connection to the Galaxy and their ideals. Additionally, while trained and skilled with ranged weapons, explosives and more utility equipment such as computers, ships and security systems, their focus is strongly pronounced towards melee combat which they indeed excel at, but yet they would not fare too well against a heavily armed enemy on open field.
With their training and duty comes the idea that they can fight and kill Force-sensitives, while it has been proven true and viable, they have sealed records of how they have eliminated members of Darth Titanus retinue, their capability goes hand in hand with an overconfidence and arrogance which might make them underestimate an enemy. Yet they thrive with challenges and especially when they are working together.
For any outsiders, they are known to be extremely calm and silent, reclusive and not at all sharing or offering emotions. Their entire existence is maybe not a secret, but their values are and only their Overlord knows that their purpose aligns with his aspirations. They are his left hand, his shield and his loyal enforcers.
"It's extremely rare to see more than two at a time. As a unit, they've never been defeated and answer directly to the Dark Lord."
