HOUSE CRUOR: THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
Motto: Live by the blade, die by the blade.
Founder: Darth Cruor, Dark Lord Immortalis
Head of House: General Invadator, Dark Lord of the Sith and Marauder General of the Black Legions
Demonym: Death ("Death" + apprentice/knight/lord)
Virtue: Fortitude
Description: The House of Cruor, known as the Slaughterhouse, is led by the Order of Death Knights who lead the elite "Black Legions" into war. The Slaughterhouse is a militaristic house of combat, it’s foundations reaching as far back as the Hundred-Year Darkness where the Black Legions led by Marchioness XoXaan fought against the fearful Jedi High Council and their army of sycophants. It is here where warriors seeking to hone their skill in the martial disciplines come, for those of House Cruor are the best in the entire Empire. While powerful in the arts of war, Death Knights of the the Slaughterhouse do not focus on the finer disciplines of sorcery, or alchemy, unless it is specifically used to enhance their ability to deliver death in the midst of combat.
The Sith of this house are their relentless drive for victory, and the ferociousness in which they engage in combat is unrivaled. An often used mantra in the Slaughterhouse is: “Someday, someone will best me. But it won’t be today, and it won’t be you”, and they believe it for they are confident in their ability.
They feel that only when one’s life is at risk can Sith become fully immersed in the power of the Dark Side, the purest way to achieve this is combat. In the forge of combat we are shaped into a weapon, our skills honed, our strength tested. Those who fall are not mourned, it is natural for the strong to cull the weak, this process ensures only the strongest live on as Death Knights.

Lord Cruor's Personally Claimed Planets: Six Sisters, which is a group of allied inner rim worlds at which the center of is Thyrsus (Fortress World), Eshan, and Bengali. Along with the other unnamed planets associated with the Six Sisters this planetary group serves to ensures a full time and professional fighting force numbering in the billions. Other claimed planets of Dark Lord Immortalis Cruor are Trandosha, Umbara, Ruusan.
Military Headquarters: Ailon Nova
Military: The core of the House's military is comprised of the Ailon Nova Guard, an already formidable military unit is made even stronger by the addition of legions of Mandalorian soldiers and Super Commandos. The current head of the House, Lord Grievance Vexx, brings the loyalty of the Kaleesh. All these forces are loyal, completely, to the Head of House Cruor. The personal army of Lord Cruor consists of the Thyrsian Sun Guard, the lightly armored elite Echani, and the barbarian hordes of the Bengali. They are loyal, completely, to Lord Cruor. While the two armies are in fact separate and do not formally coordinate movements, it is wise to consider them allied forces, for of war came to House Cruor they would fight as one. All of them can be properly referred to as "The Black Legions".

History: A warrior forged in the Hundred-Year Darkness, Darth Cruor was unleashed into the galaxy as a ruthless killer for the Sith cause. He first engaged the hated Jedi along with Marchioness XoXaan's as she led her Black Legions, it was here where the the Order of Death Knights began, and through the centuries that followed the Battlelord Darth Cruor was central to many of the galaxies greatest wars, often times not only instigating the conflicts but also personally participating in the battles, and personally leading elite groups of SIth or Dark Jedi.
Numerous cults and Sith sub-sects have formed around the philosophies and instructions of Darth Cruor, under one alias or another, such as the Black Knights of Malrev IV. The reputation of Darth Cruor reached its peak during the War of the Trials, where the Sith’ari became the most capable and feared slayer under Darth Vassago’s command, and as Battlelord he helped the Sith armies destroy the Jedi Order which sought the great Dark Lord’s demise.
Some of Darth Cruor's teachings have been passed down through the ages via the form of holocron, or techniques which have been incorporated into use by some of the greatest duelists known to the Sith; Tulak Hord, Exar Kun, Darth Malgus, Kas’im and Darth Bane. The formation of the Slaughterhouse is the culmination of this legacy, it honors the finest warriors of ages past, and those who fill the ranks today are considered among the most deadly Sith in the Empire.
