Devakir's Dread Host

"'Welcome to your new future' - Episode 41"Devakir's Dread Host are the true antagonist for the Party; being not only against the group from very early on, but also eager to acquire the artifacts they try very hard to keep from them.

Formed from numerous different groups, it contains troopers, engineers, scientists, droid battalions, Sith Lords, Apprentices, Bounty Hunters and a cadre of Mandalorians. They also presumably have agents stashed throughout the galaxy.

From what has been witnessed so far, they are not afraid to use whatever means necessary to pursue their agenda, including: While unable to acquire all four of the artifacts originally uncovered by Queen Astraxha, they were able to take the last two - an entire vault dedicated to cloning and genetic manipulation, and a holocron containing an ancient Pre-Republic consciousness with knowledge of cosmic secrets.
 * Kidnapping and torturing Dr. Kiona Traxus to acquire information on the group.
 * Slaughtering a village of innocents on Froz simply to send a message
 * Unleashing a horde of abominations into the streets of Dac just for fun.

The Watchers From Afar
Very little is known about this group at the present, though they have been after the devices and facilities of Drol'kar for at least as long as the Party.

Mostly, their acquisitions have ended in failure, with the Duro and Aran Moon devices taken by the party. They arrived too late to stop the seizure of the Dac facility, with most of the equipment, subjects and staff transported to their towering fortress on an unknown world. With this acquisition they have not only gained hundreds of engineered super soldiers and modified war beasts, they also acquired the immense scientific legacy of the facility, varying from cloning to base genetic modulation. The ability to modify the sequence code of an individual; or make an entirely new species, is an immense technological advantage, and the test subjects recovered showed they could even manipulate force sensitivity, something unknown in the wider galaxy.

Unexpectedly, they gained even more that day; as the sundering of the party briefly placed Dabrir Vesh in their custody as a turncoat, and Hikaru as an apprentice to Lord Tyronok.

The Dread Host
When Yeni returned to them, seeking to infiltrate them further, he was welcomed back, but found his access fairly restricted due to his late allegiance.

Over the year he spent watching and taking part in missions, he learned of their leader, and how this faction held allegiance to another far greater enemy - the Dread Masters.

He assessed the numbers, and found them far greater than first thought. Despite this, they still stuck to the shadows, sending him on occasional missions to intimidate or acquire knowledge from certain locations.

Lord Tyronok, the Orator, a cunningly subversive and manipulative individual.
