Dark Legionnaires

'''The Dark Legionnaires were a group of terrorists operating against the New Republic. A group of powerful Dark-side practitioners, their attacks against the trade routes between the New Republic and Wild Space served as a distraction to the true machinations of the Mahk-uru cult.'''

Creation
When Imperial TIE scout pilot Iqbaal S'bhan accidentally flew his ship through a hyperspace wormhole, he crash landed on a world called Na Rakka, a planet located in a globular cluster of stars on the outskirts of the galaxy. He discovered that the world was home to a pair of powerful Dark-siders, Darth Riktus and his apprentice, Shakhor.

Na Rakka was once home to a powerful race of Force users, who worshiped the entity known in legend as the Bogan. These aliens had left behind powerful technology that allowed them to create artificial wormholes throughout the galaxy.

Sensing Iqbaals tenuous connection to the Force, and knowing that the necessary stellar alignment was approaching, Riktus and Shakhor decided to use him as a pawn in their scheme to awaken the Bogan from his eons-long slumber.

Investing a portion of his own power into Iqbaals body, Riktus sent him back to Imperial Remnant space. Upon his return to the Victory class star destroyer Pryon Fire, Iqbaal killed the command crew and subjugated the rest of the ship to his will.

Gaining followers
Over the next few years, Iqbaal gathered other powerful Dark-siders to his cause. Anapathor Ramek and Grither were former Inquisitors who were looking for a way to hurt the New Republic, and Seetha Zelezarna desired to learn new skills from another powerful Force adept.

Iqbaals was approched by contacts from the Mahk-uru, who sent him the mute giant Krosis to serve as his enforcer. Finally, the young Aliya Siri, a former apprentice of the Jedi master Danu Roppo, and Jaik Amladi, a cage fighter with untapped Force potential, were found and brought into the group as apprentices for Seetha and Anapathor, respectively.

Joining the Dosj'aa Alliance
Iqbaal made contact with the reclusive Dosj'aa Alliance, a small government located in Wild Space. He offered the services of the Legionnaires to the Alliance in exchange for military support. The Alliance wanted someone to train their Behjha Assassins in the ways of the Force, and Iqbaal needed heavier firepower than he had with his one outdated Victory-class ship.
