There's a reason Rathus earned a Bronze Nova award for the Great Jedi War 11. He competed in almost everything. Rathus doesn't compete often within the DJB standard competitions; but when he does, it's the main events; when Clan Taldryan needs him the most. He comes out swinging 110%. I'm not sure how he keeps his skills trained; but he does. He never fails to compete in just about everything. When he does; he's nearly in the top every time. His dedication to the battle team and thus the clan in times of need is something we can always count on. He competed in 4/5 for FL3; and 10/11 in the GJW. This is more than any other member of the battle team; possibly the clan. As being the fore-runner in Clan Taldryan; I think he more than deserves a Grand Cross for his efforts in Fading Light 3; and Great Jedi War.

Rathus was a fantastic contributor to Taldryan's Great Jedi War and Fading Light 3 efforts - earning himself a silver and two Bronze Novae in the process. From my perspective - it was his initial efforts and ideas, combined with his consistent work throughout the Great Jedi War that allowed our run on team to place as high as we did. In addition, Rathus worked his ass off - competing in 10 out of 11 GJW events (thus, practically doing all the things) - and being a constant presence and inspiration on our mailing list and on IRC. For his efforts and his ultimately his accomplishments? Rathus has earned himself a Grand Cross.
