GENERAL INFORMATION

- 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:
- 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.
- 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...
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.

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.
