The Dark Watch is an Order dedicated to the future or the Empire which accepts members of all specializations and backgrounds. It is organized into divisions and led by an Archon, a Vice Commandant and a Council comprised of the various Division Leaders .

Aspirant
Anyone wishing to join the Dark Watch begins as an Aspirant. As the name suggests these are people who aspire to membership in the order.

Initiate
Once an Aspirant has met with a senior member of the Order and passed an IC interview, that person becomes eligible for the rank of Initiate. Initiates of the guild have shown an interest in RP and have a backstory that includes their reasons for joining. They have a sponsor from among the senior members or have taken an oath of loyalty to the guild. Initiates have access to the guild strong hold, the flagship and guild bank.

Tyro
To advance beyond the rank or Initiate, members must pick a division within the guild. These divisions represent different interests and functions and each has its own leader and officers. A Tyro should become acquainted with other members of the division and seek further training and trials. These might include participation in guild events, individual missions or tasks assigned by an officer, completion on in-game achievements, or participation in RP classes and trials.

Watcher
A Watcher or Watchman is a full-fledged member of a selected division. Watchers have proven both their abilities and loyalty to the order. They are authorized to invite new members and set trials for Initiates. In addition, watchers have access to the guild’s secret base of Shiyasa in the unknown regions.

Praetor
These are the division officers within the Dark Watch. Praetors assess Aspirants and Initiates for promotion in the guild. They assign tasks and administer trials to Tyros within their division and resolve any internal conflicts.

Exemplar
Members of the Dark Watch who have proven themselves through their knowledge and dedication are considered examples to which others may aspire. Exemplars act as Advisors to the Council and have authority in any Division.

Councilor
The Council of the order is comprised of the various division heads. They are responsible for the policies and preservation of the Dark Watch as a whole. Councilors mediate disputes between divisions including overseeing sanctioned duels. They interact with other guilds and organizations to form alliances or deal with hostilities. The council is led by the Archon and the Vice-Commandant.

DIVISIONS

Stygian Company
This division consists primarily of Bounty Hunters and Mercenaries. They are heavily armed and armored and form the Vanguard of the Watch. These warriors have a reputation for loyalty and perseverance that has never been surpassed. Officers in Stygian Company may use either military or Mandalorian titles.

The Shadow Guard
Those capable of wielding the power of the Force form the Shadow Guard. They are among the most versatile of the divisions and often act as reserves in battle or undertake high-risk missions on behalf of the council. The Shadow Guard are led by Wardens and are under the authority of Darth Kagrido Novan.

Phantom Ring
As its name implies this is a division of covert ops. Its members are those who specialize in stealth or support, whether they draw upon the Force or simply use technology to achieve the same ends. Many Phantom Ring members have backgrounds which include intelligence, infiltration and counter espionage.

Task Force Zero
These are the researchers and field operations specialists and perhaps the most diverse of the divisions. They include scientists, archaeologist and explorers from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures. The task force is led by Kelshan Zadane.

The Knights of Ziost
The Knights of Ziost are an old order which was nearly lost, but is now being re-built under the leadership of First Knight Nomi’jin Soze. The knights follow a strict code and dedicate themselves to perfecting their combat skills through on-going trials and tournaments. They also act as an honor guard to the council.
