The Revenant Purpose
The Revenant Armada is an impressive Sith operated military force. The origins of the Revenant war machine are rooted in manipulation, betrayal, and a quest to concrete a new Sith Empire in the galaxy. The Revenant serves as the new military arm of the Empress Tetan Empire, having replaced the Royal Tetan military in the recent noble coup against the throne. With a strong galactic foothold secured in the Deep Core, the Revenant begin their march into the Core, while many more operations spread Revenant influence in the Mid and Outter Rim territories.
Behind the Revenant’s success stand several Sith, old and new alike. Carefully they’ve played their hands and engineered the events that have lead to the Revenant’s success and place of power. The Revenant serves as a tool to these Sith, each working towards their own ends, along similar means. They promise power and wealth to all those that serve and align their efforts alongside the Revenant.
What follows is an Essential guide to the Revenant Armada, which will never reach completion and always be updated with new information about the faction’s inner workings to the conclusion of their existence in galactic events.
History of the Revenant Armada
- In the Approximate year of time before the battle of Rendili:
- Three Sith minds unite through mutual alliance in the Assembly of Darkness. Takaki, a new apprentice to the order is visited by an intense vision and through such begins laying the ground work for the Revenant, and a plot to bring the Sith back into galactic power. Darth Ikiryo, Darth Occidian, and Gen Morane are all heavily involved in various parts of the plan, each filling a role best suited to their abilities.
- Takaki moves on to secure a business partner. He finds a suitable business arrangement with Tiffany Vandergraff, a Velmor shipping magnate who he met on Onderon. Tiffany would serve as a front to Takaki’s business needs, coerced to assist through fear, or possibly greed. She served as a major role of the ground work and schemes that allowed for the creation of the Revenant Armada. Under instructions from Takaki with blueprints in hand she ordered several dozen facility scale hyper drivesto be manufactured and tested at the Rendili shipyards. A Later betrayal and tip off to the PGA lead to the minor sabotaging of these large engines, but with no knowledge of what their purpose was they went on being produced.
- Pirate contacts were forged in many parts of the Outer Rim, and within Hutt-Space. Members of the Red Hand syndicate on Nar Shaddaa were also brought in on Takaki’s next set of plans. This amassed fleet of brigands and scoundrels were bought by greed, and lent their services to Takaki in the task to follow, a full scale assault on the Rendili shipyards.
- Secret meetings with Krath associates set into motion plots against the stabilization of the Empress Teta system.
- Takaki bargained with the Assembly of Darkness for use of the remains of the former Sith fleets of Vjun. He was granted his request and took charge of the Assembly of Darkness’ fleet and readied them to strike at the heart of the galaxy, Coruscant. This assault was only staged as a distraction. Failure was known from the start, there was no chance the aged vessels could stand against the amassed might of the PGA which currently occupied Coruscant after the defeat of the Empire during their war with the RLF.
- The Battle of Rendili:
In an unannounced assault the Assembly of Darkness sent its remaining flee vessels from Vjun to exit hyperspace near Coruscant. They engage head on with the PGA’s forces in a suicide clash as blockade runners and landing vessels were launched in mass towards the planet’s surface. The landing forces were small in number, not an invasion force that could pose any long lasting harm. For the next several hours combined forces of House Morane, Sith Dynasty, and the Assembly of Darkness spread chaos through the streets. They eventually were routed by the forces of GAR and the PGA.
As the feint attack on Coruscant commenced the amassed fleet of pirate and scoundrel forces under various fringe banners exited hyperspace in Rendili. Their assault was fierce and fast, immobilizing localized security forces and defense satilites. They scurried from dry-dock to dry-dock, unpacking the facility scale hyperdrives that had been built there and began rigging them to the shipyard facilities themselves. Due to the sabotaging efforts of the PGA however, the hyperdrives failed to activate and bring the facilities to safety on schedule.
While the pirate forces worked to recalibrate the hyperdrives, a combined assault team of PGA and Fel Imperial forces came out of hyperdrive, breaking the pirate blockade and engaging in battle with their forces. They managed to land on the primary facility, and in a successful boarding action destroyed a Rendili mainframe full of production schematics of various PGA military vessels. They fled before the facilities finally made their jump to hyperspace, and in the aftermath the pirate forces seized a great deal of supplies and ships from the attack and dispersed back to their common hunting grounds and areas of business.
