Duces Ossium

Origin/Founding of the Empire
The Duces Ossium is a group of Dark Side Students founded by and led by Lightning Bug, consisting of Dark Side students brought together by the cult that would later become the Infinite Empire. The group was founded as a form of rebellion against their teachers, due to the students lack of patience in Dark Side Training, and the revelation that the Cultists were just going to build an army of Dark Siders to destroy the Jedi. Lightning Bug saw the simple plan as foolish and inefficient, but couldn't do anything about it because the Twentieth Brother claimed Lightning Bug wasn't ready to call the shots yet.

Lightning Bug, infuriated by this thought, brought together the students the Cultists were training, and revealed what he had learned to them. The students were afraid that they were gonna die in a random battle for nothing, and Lightning Bug promised his coharts that under his rule, the students will play a much bigger role in the war they will wage in the future. Later, the Duces Ossium started their hostile takeover of the Cultists, besting each cultist with what they've learned in the Dark Side of the Force.

The Twentieth Brother ordered the students to surrender, and Lightning Bug refused the command, challenging the Inquisitor to a duel. The winner of the duel leads the cult, whereas the loser proceeds their occupation, but as a pawn to the victor. Lightning Bug had bested the Twentieth Brother, but dared not to kill him, seeing as Lightning Bug saw the Twentieth Brother as a father to him. Lightning Bug then ordered the Duces Ossium to spare the cultists, except for the ones the students most saw as inefficient teachers.
