GENERAL INFORMATION

• Group Name: Kirjis iw Hadzuska (High Sith for Order of Shadows)
• Classification: Dark side organization
• Headquarters: Byss (formerly), cells located on numerous worlds with a central command center in the Unknown Regions (Frozen Moon)
• Loyalties: The organization is loyal to the Lady of Secrets, the Sith identity for Taeli Raaf
• Description: The Kirjis iw Hadzuska or Order of Shadows serve as an extension of the Lady of Secrets' will, carrying out various operations and experiments in her name. They can just as easily be sabotaging a military facility or production line as they would be intimidating a planetary official or ransacking a database for information, to kidnapping and experimenting on innocent beings and creatures to create new monstrous Sithspawn, even fighting against the Jedi and light-aligned forces in pitched battle is not outside of their operations.

SOCIAL INFORMATION

• Hierarchy:

1. ​Lady of Secrets - At the top of the organization is the Lady of Secrets herself, the powerful Sith that lurks beneath the surface of an unseeming and polite Jedi Master. Her will is law within the organization.
2. The First Daughter - The Sith apprentice to the Lady of Secrets. She oversees the organization when her Master is unavailable, although as any within it know, if the First Daughter is present, their Master is as well...
3. Paradox Adepts - Paradox Adepts are Sith Masters that serve as overseers of each individual cell of the organization, answering only to the Lady of Secrets and her apprentice. Not as powerful as their Sith counterparts, they are still a dangerous foe to face.
4. Enigma Adepts - The core Sith that serve the Lady of Secrets, they make up the bulk of the organization and typically are the agents encountered by the Jedi. Trained on a level of a Sith Knight, several specializations exist among their number (Beastmasters, Alchemists, Dark Consulars, Blademasters).
5. Shadow Legion - Trained on Carida at her personal request, the Shadow Legion are non-Force users in the Order of Shadows that serve as security and a trained army for facilities and operations.

• Membership: Attract the attention of the Lady of Secrets or one of her top lieutenants
• Dogma/Doctrines: The Order of Shadows follow the tenets of the Sith Order, with the Lady of Secrets word being absolute law. Power and knowledge are important structures within the organization, with the Lady of Secrets actively encouraging her adepts to push the boundaries of their understanding of the dark side.
• Goals: The organization's goal, besides serving their Master's will, is to destabilize and weaken the GA and the NJO while collecting information on potential threats to the Sith's plans for galactic domination.

MEMBERS

Taeli Raaf (Lady of Secrets) - Leader
Eldaah Aderyn (The First Daughter) - Second in Command

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

As Taeli Raaf, then publicly known as Darth Arcanix, began planning her departure from the One Sith, she had to figure out a way to move the power base she had been cultivating covertly. It wouldn't do to throw it all away, considering her mission, but she had to be careful in these beginning stages of her deception. To that end, she established the Order of Shadows out of a hidden facility in the Unknown Regions, with a faux headquarters established on Byss following the collapse of the One Sith.

The Order of Shadows, initially, had little contact with their Master while she helped fight against the One Sith with the Republic and then the Galactic Alliance. Instead, their Master's apprentice, Eldaah Aderyn, was the mouthpiece of their Master's will until such a time Taeli felt it safe to meet with her adepts. With the passage of years, Taeli began to recall her forces to establish themselves across the galaxy. Ostensibly, the Order of Shadows masquerade as employees and security forces for Aurora Industries, working out of the Horizon Station facility and other hidden facilities in the galaxy such as in the Pluthan Asteroid field.

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent: To provide an NPC adversary for the Galactic Alliance and to flesh our a subordinate to the Lady of Secrets
• ​Image Credit: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/6vQ1r
• Role: A lesser Sith Master in service to the Lady of Secrets (Taeli Raaf)
• Links: N/A

PHYSICAL INFORMATION

• Age: 37
• Force Sensitivity: Master
• Species: Miraluka
• Appearance: [Please describe the NPC in at least one paragraph. Any distinguishing marks? Do they show their age? What do they usually wear? For droid characters, link to their production model, either on Wookieepedia or as an approved tech submission.]

SOCIAL INFORMATION

• Name: Relyana Vasq, Darth Augura
• Loyalties: Taeli Raaf as the Lady of Secrets, the Sith Empire by extension
• Wealth: Somewhat wealthy due to access to her Master's assets when she requires them
• Notable Possessions: Lightsaber, cybernetic right arm
• Skills:

1. ​Force Pull/Push - Master
2. Force Lightning - Master
3. Force Sight - Master
4. Force Concealment - High Knight
5. Elusive Presence - High Knight
6. Sith Magic - Knight

• Personality: Relyana is a methodical high functioning sociopath, trained by her Master to be a manipulator, infiltrator, and assassin. Throughout her service to Taeli Raaf, she has displayed a need to plot out her missions to the smallest detail, and has been taught to take advantage of a situation to adjust those plans accordingly. Those that encounter her describe her as charming, but this friendly demeanor masks the true darkness that, at the order of her Master, can be unleashed on a sadistic whim.

COMBAT INFORMATION

• Weapon of Choice: Lightsaber and the Force
• Combat Function: While she can duel with her lightsaber, Relyana's preferred method of fighting is to either attack from long range with lightning or sorcery, or conceal herself and strike from the shadows in rapid fashion. Trained by her Master, she has developed an older skill that allows memory of her to slip away from those who have encountered here, if she so chooses to maintain her aloofness while carrying out her Master's wishes.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

Relyana Vasq has been in service to Taeli Raaf since the time her Master ascended to Sith Ladyship during the One Sith Empire. The Miralukan woman before falling into the service of the Sith, was already a master manipulator. Employed by various factions to gain secrets from targets, she always found herself wanting something greater. That chance came when she encountered Lady Arcanix while the newly raised Sith Lady was traveling in the galaxy.

The new Sith Lady began her training in the ways of the Sith, forming her into an ideal infiltrator, an even more masterful manipulator, and assassin. One mission during the One Sith-Galactic Republic war she was sent on cost her right arm, and a cybernetic replacement was provided by her Master. When her Master "defected" to the Jedi, Relyana was among those servants of Arcanix that established Horizon Station in secret, leaving the One Sith behind to further the hidden agenda of Taeli Raaf.

Acting as one of the Paradox Adepts in her Master's Order of Shadows, Relyana helps oversee various operations of her Master's, including being a point of contact between the Lady of Secrets and the Mecrosa Order... if the need arises for interaction.
