COMBAT INFORMATION
///Availability: Unique
///Deployment: Minor
///Strengths & Weaknesses:
>>Tamith Force is composed of Force-sensitive Clan Rekali members. A good portion of their gear reflects their Dathomiri and Vahla origins. Though they train extensively with ysalamiri and voidsteel, losing the Force means losing their greatest advantage.
>>Tamith Force excels at boarding operations and close-quarters urban warfare.
>>Tamith Force suffers against mobile armor and heavy weapons. It's a raiding and guerrilla unit, not suitable for front-line pitched battle.
>>Tamith Force’s witchcraft always requires a somatic component, generally spoken and/or gestured.
///Description:
>>Clan Rekali saw the writing on the wall years ago, as anti-Force sentiment swept across Mandalorian territory. Long before Ra Vizsla’s crusades, the Mandalorian Empire, the TSAC prisons, and the 'cure,’ Clan Rekali understood what was coming. There are benefits to following pelko seers and flow-walkers. The clan withdrew from their private empire in the Gordian Reach to fortify remote settlements in the Hard Roil and the Kathol Outback. And they started training harder than they ever had.
>>One result is Tamith Force, a unit of hardened soldiers of fortune who also have the witchcraft skills of a Novice or Spellweaver. Tamith Force follows the dark side, a blend of Nightsister techniques and Vahl-cultist lore. The soldiers stripped those arts of unnecessary flourishes and boiled them down to a straightforward, vicious regimen. Tamith Force typically employs fire, illusion, and physical enhancement, all Rekali hallmarks.
>>Tamith Force also includes holdout Mandalorians who rescued themselves from TSAC prisons on Mandalore after Ember Rekali passed them word that the 'cure' had a cure. They accepted the cure for Force-sensitivity, walked out, left, and had the cure reversed.
BONUS CONTENT
///Vi Solus Atiniir ('We Endure Alone’ or 'We Each Endure’)
>>Tamith Force members often write chants and songs, refining and experimenting with Force spells. ‘Vi Solus Atiniir’ is one such song. Accompanied by bes’bev music, Tamith Force sings 'Vi Solus Atiniir’ as a physical enhancement rite derived from many Dathomiri spells. In Basic, the lyrics go something like this:
The old tree stands alone
No living shelter there
Deep rooted in the stone
Undaunted by despair
The fire burns alone
No living soul will hear
The coals will crack the stone
The dead will gather near
A blazing heart alone
In tune with brothers gone
Defies the traitor’s throne
To hammer one last song
