In 900 ABY, as part of his efforts to strengthen the military capabilities of the Kainite, Darth Carnifex created the Black Bane Spider Company. This unit was designed to provide rapid, versatile mechanized support to the frontlines, particularly through the use of the All Terrain Light Spider Tank "Sanngriðr." The Black Bane Spider Company was placed under the command of Darth Carnifex's eleventh wife Darth Pellax, reflecting the unit's importance and strategic value.

The first recruits of the Black Bane Spider Company were handpicked from soldiers within the Kainite ranks, ensuring a high level of proficiency and combat readiness from the outset. These soldiers underwent rigorous training in both mechanized warfare and shock tactics, honing their skills to operate the AT-LST "Sanngriðr" effectively. This training regimen emphasized the vehicle's unique capabilities, such as enhanced mobility and superior firepower, which allowed the company to execute rapid blitzkrieg assaults and effective ambushes.

The Black Bane Spider Company quickly distinguished itself in various conflicts, demonstrating exceptional prowess in combined arms operations and counterinsurgency missions. Their ability to integrate seamlessly with other military units, such as infantry and artillery, made them a formidable force on the battlefield. However, their reliance on the AT-LST "Sanngriðr" also presented challenges, particularly in maintaining the advanced technology and ensuring operational effectiveness when the vehicles were not available.

Despite these challenges, the Black Bane Spider Company earned a reputation for its decisive and aggressive tactics, becoming a critical component of the Kainite's military strategy.
