Niamh Raste has created a new group called The Echani Compact.
In years past, the people of five of the Six Sister's, the Echani, were known throughout the galaxy for their prowess in martial combat to the point that an Echani teacher was considered a prized acquisition among many social circles. Many feared fighting an Echani in single combat since their entire lifestyle was centered around fighting. In fact, Echani believe that it is impossible to truly know someone without fighting them. Combat is a way of communication as much as it is a way of defense or offense for them.
It wasn't long ago that the Compact expanded outward, drawing new worlds into its safekeeping. It made a name for itself on the galactic stage before turning to introspection and focusing on ancient feuds with the Thyrsians, the brothers and sisters of the Echani, and the Mandalorians, their most hated enemy. They became so complacently focused on these issues that their presence on the galactic stage dwindled despite their major technological companies maintaining influence in the private and public sectors.
Then the Mandalorians attacked.
Eshan was bombarded.
A destroyer was crashed into the capital city.
Thyrsians planted their flag outside the palace.
It was a dark time, but out of it, new hope has risen. A changing of the guard, willfully and peaceably made between former and new rulers, will set its sights on once again making the Echani great. All they need is time, perseverance, and a focus on the Echani way.
