Sars Sarad
A Dark Wind
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Thralled are the Black Sun Syndicate's answer to the Jedi and Sith Orders. Whereas the Jedi take children at a young age for training and indoctrination the Thralled are stolen at any age, child or adult and trained to serve their Black Sun masters. Little more than slaves they are inducted as Shock Troopers, Assassins and Bodyguards who protect the interests of the Black Sun under penalty of death.
Typically a Thralled is taken by Black Sun operatives, regardless of age or species agaisnt their will though some have become Thralled willingly to pay debts and protect their families. Once taken by the Black Sun they are implanted with a micro explosive, fitted near their spinal column to ensure their loyalty. After the initial stage the Thralled are then sent for training, to learn the skills of the force to a level similar to a Padawan by Force-Users in league with the Syndicate who serve as their overseers and handlers.
Life as a Thralled is often short and brutal. Beginning as Foot Soldiers, Shock Troopers and Enforcers a Thralled sees combat on a daily basis either until they prove their worth or they are killed and replaced. A Thralled who shows promise is often reassigned to a high ranking member of the Black Sun as a Bodyguard though several are also kept by the Sect itself as Assassins their Overseers dispatch to eliminate enemies of the Syndicate.
The upper echelon of the Thralled, the Force-Users in league with the Syndicate and members of it are the only indidvduals not fitted with explosives. As members of the Syndicate they are afforded a degree of command, especially amongst the Thralled. There is an Overseer above the rest however a distinction of titles does not exist, all Thralled who are above the rank and file are simply known as Overseers. Currently
Sars Sarad
is the head Overseer amongst that upper echelon who works hand in hand with the leadership of the Black Sun.

- Unit Size: Medium
- Unit Availability: Uncommon
- Unit Experience: Trained
- Equipment: Lightsabers (specialty), combat armor, combat equipment; individual of High Ranking members may have more specialized or unique equipment but the above is standardized for the average foot soldier.
- Combat Function: The Thralled often fill the role of generalized Shock Troops or Special Ops in combat zones. Due to their status as Force-Users they are considered powerful combatants however when this is combined with their status as, essentially slaves to the Syndicate they are often abused in their cobmat role. Expect a unit of Thralled to charge the enemy in open combat, both inflicting and suffering heavy casualties as the Syndicate considers them property rather than people.
- Force Abilities (Force User Units Only): All Thralled are trained to a degree by the leaders of the sect. Expect them to be versed in Force Speed, Push/Pull, Endurance, etc. The majority Thralled have an understanding of the common force abilities at the Padawan level with some exhibiting Knight level talent.
Force Users: Exactly what it sounds like, the Thralled are all Force-Users. This generally gives them an advantage over generic soldiers and combatants.
Fatalistic: All of the Thralled, leadership notwithstanding understand that they are meant to serve and die for the Syndicate. This makes them fearless in the face of death knowing that if they do not obey their deaths are assured regardless. If the Thralled are deployed they will fight to a man, to the death regardless of odds.
Unending Servitude: The Thralled live as servants to their leadership and the Black Sun Syndicate. They know no life of freedom, all of that has been taken away from them including their names in many cases. There is no end except through death or the rare chance of ascension to a role in the leadership of the sect.
Explosive Repercussions: Every Thralled, except the upper echelon of Sect leadership is fitted with a micro explosive that is implanted in them via surgical procedure. This explosive embedded into their spinal column between the shoulder blades and near the base of the skull. If a Thralled attempts escape, disobeys direction or is otherwise compromised this explosive is detonated resulting in an explosion that usually rips the targets upper torso to pieces.
