Spider Clan (Nacen)

The Spiderclan was a sect of Force-sensitives that resided on the world of.

History
The Spiderclan was formed when a member of the by the name Ziralo perceived the  to be a threat at some point following the construction of an Imperial prison facility within the wastelands of Dathomir. The Empire’s presence on the planet caused a certain degree of dissension between Ziralo, who sought to attack the Imperial facility directly, and many of her fellow Nightsisters, who thought that it would have been far more prudent to remain concealed. Despite this disagreement, Ziralo was able to convince around ten other fellow Nightsisters to separate from the dark side cult, forming what ultimately became known as the Spiderclan.

In order to survive on their own without the aid of the Nightsisters that they were formally a part of, members of the Spiderclan gradually began to develop something of a symbiotic relationship with a group of native creatures known as Gaping spiders that were located inside of the Nightspider Cave, a cavern within the wastes of Dathomir which eventually became the clan’s main headquarters. By communicating with them through the Force, the Spiderclan were able to co-exist with the creatures, allowing its members to live autonomously without the supposed threat that the Gaping spiders may have otherwise posed. As time went by, the influence that the Spiderclan’s members possessed over the Gaping spiders grew stronger, eventually to the point where they were able to coerce the creatures into serving the clan, forcing them to act as guards for the Nighspider Cave.

Throughout the Spiderclan’s existence, Ziralo became the instigator of a number of raids that the clan undertook against the Dathomir Imperial Prison. Due to the small numbers of the clan, however, they mainly adopted hit-and-run tactics against the facility, striking quickly and making an escape before the Imperial forces were able to fight back. Following the numerous attempted attacks on the prison, a member of the Imperial by the name of Lyon Olof arrived on Dathomir and eventually discovered the location of the Nightspider Cave. Hoping to swiftly root the Spiderclan out before they had the chance to evade, Olof led a military task force which proceeded to the clan’s headquarters. The task force, however, was driven back following a surprise attack which was instigated by Ziralo. During a brief skirmish within the Nightspider Cave, Ziralo confronted and ultimately defeated Inquisitor Olof, though she was forced to retreat from the cave after a supplement of stormtroopers arrived.
