Fiction:Khaxvis Resurgence

"Our destruction at the hands of the weak was not the end... From the ashes of ruin we rize again! Glory to the true heirs of the dragon throne!"

- Volkarus Khaxvis

The House Khaxvis Resurgence Movememnt (Khaxvis Resurgence, Khaxvis reborn, the Resurgence, Khaxvis, new Khaxvis) is a secretive pseudo-terrorist organisation originating from the months shortly after the Second House War. The exact date of the resurgence's formation is unknown along with their apparent existence. Due to their secretive nature - which they maintain through bribing pirates and using mercenary armies - the only people who know of the Resurgence within imperial space are the Paragon line, Blood Dragons and potentially the Inquisition.

The Resurgence's goal is to restore their blooodline to the status of ruling family of the and have been ruthlessly doing so throughought the group's 50,000 earth-year existence.

Origins
At the conclusion of the Second House War Grand House Khaxvis - the ruling family - were executed for treachary, usurption, imprisoning the previous line and countless murders and assassinations. Every member the Ultanos loyalists could find were brought to Minos'Drakon's central plaza for execution (as was common with traitors of the highest order). Unknown to the rest of the empire three clutches of eggs, an estimated 25 eggs, were kept secret and hidden in a remote corner of imerpial space. A lone survivor was said to have raised the hatchlings to adulthood.

Over time the clutch members - who have since become venerated within the house - rebuilt their powerbase in secrecy, away from investigative eyes. Numerous backroom deals were made and eventually the resurgence began recruiting to rebuild their military. relying on deals with shipyards, mercenary groups and Khaxvis sympathisers to keep themselves strong.

After a millenium of hidden development they began to actively pursue their goal: Killing the entirity of House Ultanos and retaking the empire for themselves. It was not long before their actions gained the notice of the Blood Dragons, the Paragon family's bodyguards. For the next several millenia both factions waged a secret war that continues to this day and kept secret from the Ultanos family and the rest of the empire. On occasion a family member would learn of thee war and kept under close protection.

Andromeda War
The Resurgence kept to themselves during the war since few factions suited their interests (The Divinarium were largely mysterious and the Legion of badmanz and Masuri's Wental wanted nothing less than the emtire empire's destruction). Upon the arrival of the the possibilities changed in their favour. Under the advice of the elder council - the resurgence's current head - travelled in secrecy to meet with their leader. After a bief encounter Volkarus pledged unshaking loyalty to the Brood and agreed to supply what they could.

Leadership
The resurgence is led by two groups: The first is the house's head. Unconventionally Volkarus is one of the younger members of the house and gained his position through sheer determination despite many other, often more senior, candidates. Since returning from the Fleet of Ruin he has assumed command of the enitire resurgence. The second group is the elder council: A collective of the eldest members who advise the head on important matters. These elders, too old to actively lead the house, hoften show wisdom and are typically very conservative in nature.

Military
Even today, House Khaxvis is too small to rely on its own members as a military force. Instead it relies on numerous mercenary contracts - often hired via a third party or audio conferencing - to achieve its goals along with anyone in support of the resurgence's eventual goal. Equipment, ships and vehicles are either stolen (most frequently by the mercenaries themselves) or bought from various connections to the black market. Unlike the Imperial Talon Navy fusion weapons are rare and are generally held by the house's leadership due to the extortionate value of such a weapon on the black market.

Despite their power they are forever worried about drawing the attention of the Imperial Talon Navy. As a result they rely on discreet Gureella warfare, hit-and-run and calculated ambushes, all the while making sure that their house's existance is kept as hidden as possible. Khaxvis members themselves will frequenly serve as high-ranking commanders and supervisors of mercenary ggroups.

Culture
Unlike the Empire, the resurgence follows the philosophy of "The end justifies the means" almost famatically. As a result they make liberal use of gene therapy, cybernetics and even self-replicating nanotechnology (the latteromst is considered formbidden technology within the empire). It is estimated that 1/3 of all projects into genetically enginnered Draconis since the Second House War has been funded or supervised by them.

The resurgency believes that weakness must be bred out in order to achieve their ultimate goal. The idea that cybernetics and genetic engineering on their kin only makes them stronger; rather than defiling the work of their diety they consider that such acts make him proud that they are perfecting what he had started. Many of the Khaxvis have been augmented in one form or another and many consider themselves superior to the rest of their species (which only inflates their egotistical belief that they are the rightful rulers of the draconis).
