GENERAL INFORMATION
- Group Name: The Graug Horde of Fornow
- Classification: Warband
- Headquarters: The Underhold
- Loyalties: Darth Carnifex's Powerbase
- Group Sigil: See Picture Above
- Description: The Fornow Horde is a massive warband of barbarous Graug who reside on the planet of Fornow deep within the Pacanth Reach star cluster. They serve under the direct command of Warchief Malgrog who in turn serves the powerful Sith Lord Darth Carnifex who utilizes the Horde as the vanguard and siege engineers of his vast army. They are the spear's tip that is thrust into enemy fortifications to smash their cohesion enough for the more disciplined and experienced aspects of his grand host to move in and finish the job.
- Hierarchy:
The Warchief - Graug Army Captains
- Greater Graug
Slave Drivers - Forge Masters
- Beast Riders
[*]Lesser Graug
- Warriors
- Siege Operators
[*]Non-Graug Slaves
[*]Membership: Only Graug can be a non-slave member of the Fornow Horde, and members are typically reproduced within the Horde's own ranks.
[*]Dogma/Doctrines: The Graug follow the same culture as all other Graug, albeit they are not divided into small clans and are instead organized as a single collective under the Warchief's rule. Naturally the Fornow Horde's chief deity is the War God whom they pray to often for greater strength of arms and victory over their hated enemies the Jedi and all who serve the Light. Their secondary deity is the Harvest God for bountiful harvests of booty and plunder from whatever world they descend upon at their master's behest. The position of Carnifex is one of contradiction for he is seen in a god-like light by many of the Graug, yet none openly worship him or claim him to be such.
[*]Curios: The Graug of the Fornow Horde brand their warband's symbol into their flesh as proof of their loyalty.
[*]Goals: Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.
MEMBERS
- Warchief Malgrog - Warchief of the Fornow Horde
Malgrog and his band of pillagers were among the many Graug who migrated from their homeworld of Gratos to Imperial space under the leadership of Imperial Krag to fight against the Jedi and the Republic. They quickly proved a powerful asset to the Sith as they were fearless in battle, swarming over the enemies of the Empire with reckless abandon like a great tide of locusts.
When the Empire began to fragment during the First Imperial-Republic War a contingent of Graug under Malgrog's command latched itself onto the deposed Sith Emperor Kaine Zambrano and joined him in his exodus from Sith space to his ancestral homeworld of Panatha. There they aided him in usurping the throne for himself and crushing any opposition to his rule throughout the Pacanth Reach. As reward the Graug were gifted with their own world to colonize and shape as they saw fit, Fornow, a small yet resource abundant world at the farthest edge of the Reach.
It was there that Malgrog asserted his authority over all of the Graug who had followed Kaine and simultaneously proclaimed himself Warchief and pledged himself into Kaine's service. They built the massive citadel of the Underhold soon after and would later join the One Sith Empire as it fought the Republic in the Second Imperial-Republic War, mainly out of their renewed hatred for the Jedi after they had sacked Gratos. Now the Fornow Horde prepares for the next galactic conflict where they can cut their teeth on the broken corpses of their enemies.
