Orders
To further recognize those that have establised themselves, two orders have been established. Little can be told to those who are not members, but basic information is as follows:
The Order of the Krath- The Krath is an order for those members who are not pilots (not members of the EH). The Krath is lead by the High Priest of the Krath, who also holds a position on the Dark Council. The High Priest is at least an adept. Membership is open to all those who hold the rank of Novice or above, and are approved by the High Priest. Members of this order may place "Krath" in front of their title (i.e. Krath Conjurer, Krath Mage, etc.) and place a "K" in front of the abreviatation.
The Order of the Sith- Membership in the Ancient order of the Sith is reserved for those that are pilots in the service of the Empire. (Also members of the EH). The Dark Lord of the Sith heads this order*. The Dark Lord is a member of the Dark Council and holds at least the rank of Adept. Candidates for membership must hold at least the rank of Mage.
*- Because the current Dark Lord is also the GRAND, the order has an additional representative on the Dark Council.
Dark Council
The Dark council consists of four members. The members are at least Adepts. The make-up of the council is as follows:
1 Grand Master
1 Master (2nd in command)
2 Adepts (1 from the Sith, 1 from the Krath)

Role of The Brotherhood
The role of the Brotherhood is quite simple. Just as the Emperor's Hammer and Hammer's Fist involve all the militaristic aspects of the Star Wars universe, We, the Dark Brotherhood, go into the spiritual side. As we gain members, we gain knowledge, and as we gain knowledge, WE GAIN POWER.
Words of the Grand Master
I was unable to get the complete list of members (from my home computer), so if your name is not on the list, or if i did not put your jedi name in, then E-mail me and I will correct it. Also meetings will be held every Tuesday (starting next tuesday) at 9pm in AOL Private Room "Dark Hall".
May the Darkness Defend you.

A Moment in History:
The Secret Pogrom Against the Last Jedi
by Apprentice Melan Pyr
Declassified by Special Permission of
Admiral Kane Vader
Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood
Long before the Grand Master Kane Vader rose to prominence in the empire, Captain Kane Vader, had wisely betrayed the false cause of the Old Republic and its pitiful progeny, the Rebel Alliance. The bare-faced captain was very young, yet strong in the Force, and by virtue of this strength, caught the attention of Lord Vader. The Dark Lord had assured him great power and glory in service to the Dark Side.
The campaign referred to as The Jedi Hunt had concluded successfully, but the Emperor could sense through the Force, that some Jedi had managed to escape his grasp. These would be the most dangerous, since their skills had allowed them to evade the Hunt. His Majesty would sooner have such Jedi in His service, but knew that the threat they posed was too great to allow them to live.
Lord Vader had assured His Imperial Majesty, still rather new upon his throne, that he would pursue and erase any Jedi. They agreed that the hunt would be on a small scale and extremely secret, so as not to alarm any of its intended victims, thus sending them into further hiding.
The Dark Lord sent his new apprentice on the mission to ferret out the last vestiges of the light Jedi. Captain Kane Vader was assigned a Corvette named Vornskr, after the predatory beast that employs the Force to hunt down its prey. The Vornskr’s manifest included a brace of new TIE fighters, a small stormtrooper contingent, a skeleton crew, and another expert pilot who would one day as well, become a distinguished member to our elite Emperor’s Hammer Strike Force.
In six spirited engagements, they tackled Old Republic Rebel fighters, led by their Jedi commanders, and defeated them all. The Pogrom was complete.
Lord Vader was pleased with his apprentice's success, and was convinced that the Jedi had finally been destroyed. He traveled to Coruscant to report their victory, in person, to the Emperor. However, Captain Kane Vader was not so sure. He could not rid himself of the feeling that some crucial characters had somehow managed to elude them all.
The cautious captain declined the hero's celebration that both Lord Vader and the Emperor desired to bestow upon him. He was sure that they were too confident that the Jedi’s obliteration was total. He remembered how sure he himself had been when the Vornskr happened upon those ships en route to Tatooine. As soon as the Corvette’s sensors picked up the presence of the traders’ convoy, he felt the powerful presence of a Jedi. But just as clearly, he remembers that as he and his wingman bared down upon that convoy, the Jedi presence had disappeared. Was there a Jedi amidst those vessels, or was he mistaken?
The events that followed years later, including the destruction of the original Death Star, would prove his reservations well founded. Yet even today, after the death of Obeewan Kenobee, one-time master of Lord Vader himself, Our Grand Master has his doubts: Convinced that the most dangerous legacy of the expired Jedi, is yet undiscovered.
