Zakkeg Squadron is the codename applied to the personal flotilla of Darth Mortis, a senior member of the New Sith Order. Formed in 63 ABY, the fleet was originally created to give Mortis a means of asserting his dominance over other Sith. Instead it has become his method of moving his closest allies back and forth and, aside from giving him an advantage over other Sith in the Order, it provides him with a military might that he would otherwise have to rely on others for. In addition Mortis uses Zakkeg Squadron to accomplish tasks assigned to him by the Dark Lord of the Sith, including but not limited to hunting down specific enemies of the Sith and known members of the New Jedi Order.

Composition

In its earliest stages Zakkeg Squadron, then unnamed, consisted of nothing more than a couple of bulk freighters stolen from a deceased Hutt crime lord on Nal Hutta. It was only when Darth Mortis and his apprentice, Darth Avernus, orchestrated a conflict that enabled the theft of six Enforcer-class Picket Cruisers and three Lancer-class frigates that the fleet truly began to take shape. Mortis' acquisition of the Sith-Imperial vessel Gauntlet, an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, to serve as the squadron's flagship provided much needed firepower to a fleet that was otherwise primarily defensive in nature. In addition, Mortis' ability to attach other ships from the Sith Navy to his squadron, with Darth Infernus' approval, means the fleet has the constant potential to grow. A purchase by Devereux Industries, Mortis' front company, in 64 ABY substantially increased the number of ships in the squadron.

History

Darth Mortis, an upcoming member of the New Sith Order, created Zakkeg Squadron in the latter months of 63 ABY. Building on the three bulk freighters he had succeeded in taking from a deceased Hutt crime lord on Nal Hutta, Mortis began searching for a means to expand his small group of ships into a more powerful armada, primarily to reinforce his own power and secondarily to defend himself with military might. The Battle of the Jaemus Shipyards was the result. Mortis orchestrated an attack on the Jaemus Shipyards by a group of pirates, working for an ally of his, whilst his apprentice Darth Avernus infiltrated the businessman who owned the shipyards. Convincing them to slave-rig the entire defence fleet - what little constituted a fleet - to one crewed vessel, Avernus succeeded in then killing the admiral and directing the fleet to chase the retreating criminals. The duplicity was revealed when Mortis revealed himself and took control of the ship, killing those who dissented.

After crewing each vessel with soldiers and mercenaries, Mortis proceeded to acquire a flagship for the fleet in the form of the Gauntlet, an old but well-known Star Destroyer stationed in orbit of Korriban. Through that vessel he was reconnected with another ally, the intelligent but relatively inexperienced commander Lucan Morr. Promoting Lucan to captain, Mortis gave him command of both the Gauntlet and Zakkeg Squadron, a chance to prove his worth.

Not long after this Mortis and Lucan departed, leaving Zakkeg Squadron - under the command of Captain Yuri Valtz - to participate in the Adumar Campaign alongside Darth Infernus whilst they travelled elsewhere. The campaign itself was brief; Lord Infernus was assassinated mid-transit and his murderer, acknowleding a retreat order sent out by Mortis himself to pull his resources back to Dromund Kaas, authorised the fleet to turn around. It is now split between orbiting Dromund Kaas and guarding the Vaiken Spacedock, which Mortis has reclaimed. Mortis increased the strength of Zakkeg Squadron later that year, making a purchase of over a dozen vessels from an unknown benefactor.

Known Officers
- Captain Lucan Morr
- Captain Yuri Valtz (Impervious)
