- Army Name: Techno Magorum Tribe
- Classification: Renegade Mawite Tribe
- Affiliation: Arimurkhan the Defiler
- Army Symbol: Picture Above
- Description:
The Techno Magorum Tribe started out as just a small band of warriors following the Mawite Sorcerer Arimurkhan the Defiler on various battlefields that the Brotherhood of the Maw launched. Raiding into the east away from the main brotherhood and smashing through the defenses of numerous planets. This small band of warriors would eventually expand to include numerous warriors of different species into their ranks after their leader casted off the False Gods of the Maw for a real powersource called the Great Vortex of the Force. No one really knows if the great vortex exists within the galaxy or is simply a delusion within the mind of Arimurkhan, but one thing is clear in their mission. Not only to clean the galaxy from normies (those that lack the power of the force) but to cause such a disturbance in the galaxy that it will send ripples throughout the force itself and spawn the great vortex before their very eyes, bestowing them with immense power that would be considered unfathomable to wield.
The Techno Magorum Tribe is steadfast in its belief systems, although not so over religious as to be blinded from it. They believe that by going against the natural will of the force, the spawning of the great vortex is ever nearer. As such the tribe is considered to be an abomination of the force by the traditional sith and jedi orders within the galaxy. Their main focus is on the conjuration of foul spells and curses, although they do have considerable knowledge with technology that helps to augment their spells on the battlefield. Although like all mawites, they are savage warriors on the battlefield and are more than able to defend themselves from whatever goes there way. Although using technology the spawning of great war beasts to serve them on the battlefield is paramount to their vision of causing a galaxy wide disturbance. Within the tribe there are the Spellcasters, which are force users taken from birth and tainted by Arimurkhan to serve him and use their powers to support the warriors on the battlefield, the Clockwork which are droids made from gears and cogs within an eternal mantal, powered by lightning to operate as a front line infantry force. The Awakened being the organic warriors that make up a majority of the fighting force within the tribe. These three tribes have their own lieutenants that answer to the Prophet of the Great Vortex and serve his bidding.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
- Headquarters: Weik
- Goals: The goal of the Techno Magorum is ever changing like the schemes of Arimurkhan himself. However their goal is to rid the galaxy of people without the vortex's gift (that being force sensitivity) and cause such a disturbance through the force that the great vortex will spawn into existence and empower them with its unholy creation. The Techno Magorum Tribe will stop a nothing to accomplish this goal, believing that going against the will of the force will benefit their deity. As such they use any foul ritual or techniques that they can think off to increase their power within the force, to such an extent that the sith of the galaxy and the jedi deem them to be an abomination of the force itself and need to be eradicated at all cost. The Great Vortex hungers for force energy and the sacrifice of the normies will diminish this ever growing hunger, and it imbues its chosen prophet with its power to lead the tribe to war and conquest. A great curse is had for those that taste even a fraction of the vortex's power unleashed by Arimurkhan, and it allows them to recruit more and more wayward individuals into their ranks through this powerful addiction.
- Reputation:
- The Techno Magorum Tribe is viewed as an abomination to life itself by both friend and foes. Considered to be heretics by the Brotherhood of the Maw for their following of the Great Vortex and disregarding the Three Avatars as nothing more than delusions. Although not one of the founding tribes of the brotherhood or even that well known among its members, it has managed to avoid being caught off guard and destroyed. It can be considered just as violent and deadly as the other tribes within the maw and more than able to stand up to those that oppose them on the battlefield. Using a combination of the force and monsters to sure up their ranks, along with the construction of legions of clockwork soldiers that back up the ranks of the awakened. They are considered nothing more than techno sorcerers whose beliefs contradict even then most loose understandings of the force, conjuring foul spells and magic to rain devastation down upon their foes. As such even the mightiest sith lord and the mightiest of the jedi see them as a threat to the force, and the tribe is constantly battling force sensitives on various worlds, trying to harvest them for sacrifices to the great vortex.
- Army Size: Large
- Composition:
- Unlike the other tribes of the Maw. The Techno Magorum is host to a large number of sorcerers and magicians within its ranks that fall underneath the Spellcaster Tribe within the main tribe. Using their raw power with either the force or traditional magic to boost the fighting morale and skill of the awakened warriors. The Awakened are organic warriors composed of various species that have become addicted to the power of the great vortex or simply serve due to their belief system, they can be considered the backbone and front line infantry of the magorum tribe providing the creativity and tactics for the overall army. The clockwork are droid forces that have been put together and operate on cogs and machinery, powered by lightning to make them the perfect fodder and specialized units on the battlefield, forming the logistics and main fighting force of the tribe. The clockworks come in a variety of different forms which make them suitable for different tasks on the battlefield and provide support for the Awakened on the field. Monsters are also fielded by the tribe, forming the raw might of the tribe itself, having been outfitted with armor plating and some are even converted into walking platforms of destruction. War Machines powered by lightning are also not uncommon, as electricity can be easily acquired and generated within a specialized core and even using the ion weaponry of the enemy to fuel the forces of the tribe as the ion energies will provide a power source for the core within their internal mainframe.
The Exalted Prophet of the Great Vortex is the Renegade Maw Sorcerer Arimurkhan the Defiler also known as the Speaker of Prophecy. He created the tribe from a small warband of mawite warriors that followed him into the east to lay siege to various undefended worlds after the Mawite Destruction of Csilla. From this small warband came the Exalted Lieutenants and Chief Officers that run the tribe with peak efficiency, having earned his trust after following him into battle on various worlds. Discovering the great vortex during a raid on an undisclosed world within a massive temple, Arimurkhan would emerge not as a follower of the Three Avatars but as the first servant of the Great Vortex, and would begin converting his warband into this new faith. New members are picked up from birth on various worlds under the threat of death, those with force sensitivity are given to the Spellcaster Tribe within the Morgorum to tap into their unawakened power and those without it are given to the Awakened Tribe. Being trained from birth to die for the great vortex and are given an addiction to the power of the vortex through a blessing by Arimurkhan. Those with certain gifts in machinery are given the task of tending to and constructing new variants of the Clockwork Soldiers used by the tribe, and repairing the war engines of the tribe for use in future conflicts. They are ultimately taken to the Tower of Sorcery, the personal abode of Arimurkhan and are given the trail of stealing a single book from his library. If they manage to accomplish such they are given a blessing and are allowed to live as they received the blessing of the great vortex to succeed. If they fail they are given over to be sacrificed to the great vortex, providing the impoverished deity with force energy to devour.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Before the formation of the Techno Magorum Tribe, there was only Arimurkhan the Defiler. Born from the closed on the planet of Carnelion IV as Kiaus Kaspatachos, the young arimurkhan was taken from his birth parents and put to work for a local mawite cult that had managed to establish themselves on the planet. Weak and frail from lacking proper nutrition, the cult began to transform him using mutant formulas and augmentations to his form until he became the brute sorcerer that he is now. The Brute Sorcerer now a solid believer in the Three Avatars would leave his homeworld and journey to find the Brotherhood of the Maw to pledge his loyalty to the cause of destruction and rebirth of the galaxy. Joining up with them at some point before the Mawite Destruction of Casilla, the homeworld and capital of the Chiss Ascendancy. Arimurkhan would unleash his foul sorceries in the service of the avatars, studying arcane sith texts and unlocking numerous holocrons to fuel his desire for knowledge within the force. Knowing that the maw would need more powerful sorcerers to combat the various jedi and sith orders within the galaxy, Kasatachos would take a small warband dubbed the Sorcerer's Host formed from the Bloodsworn to the east of the galaxy to raid and pillage for arcane texts and burn defendless planets to the ground. It was here on an undiscovered world that Kasatachos discovered the temple of the Great Vortex, entering inside alone because his host was busy fighting with the various natives who were putting up an impressive defense of their settlements.
Spending four hours inside, the same follower of the Three Avatars would be no more, all that remained would be Arimurkhan, the Exalted Prophet of the Great Vortex. Having believed that the great avatars were nothing more than delusions of mindless ravaging hordes, Arimurkhan would rally his Sorcerer's Host to himself and exit the east of the galaxy after pillaging and burning their way through planetary defense fleets that tried to stop them. Converting his mawite horde into the service of the Great Vortex, he would lead his assembled but ramshackled fleet of warships into the wider galaxy. Taking several planets and swelling his numbers with devout followers. With him being listed as MIA by the brotherhood of the maw as they destroyed casilla, he was free to enter the galaxy as a renegade warlord with his small but loyal host. Emerging from hyperspace in the far reaches of space, they discovered the planet of weik and begun to occupy the planet after a fierce battle with the locals who had force powers. Arimurkhan used his superior knowledge in sorcery and the force to wrestle the planet from their grasp, having witness their power and knowing that technology would assist them as well, the Exalted Prophet would reforge his small warband into a large warhost called the Techno Magorum named after an ancient sith warrior known as Magorum who was banished from korriban after doing a devastating ritual that nearly ruined the world. The Techno Magorum has since then managed to establish a reputation for itself both on the battlefield and within the force, assembling large legions of clockwork soldiers and awakened warriors backed up by the immense power of the spellcasters, supported by monsters and war engines of various shapes and sizes. They are not ready to strike from their base of operations into the wider galaxy. Spreading the worship of the great vortex and sacrificing those without the vortex's gift.
