Jedi Hunter DarkAmiz is a great asset to our House. Over the past two months, Amiz has preformed amazingly in his job as the Battleteam Leader of Hex, inspiring activity from a team that has seen little or no action since Hel-Pa Sklib left for Dinaari. His enthusiasm and consistent activity on both the member level, and as well as the leadership level are refreshing, considering the winter trend towards inactivity and dormancy in many others. It is my opinion that when it is time for the next generation of Member to step up and take the reigns of command, Amiz will make a great leader who will be able to drive up member activity, and Initiate retention. Recently, DarkAmiz was tasked with a small project, along with fellow Jedi Hunter Lokasena Corvinus, and Envoy Alanna Taldrya to draw up a “Glossary of Terms” for the younger members of the Clan to use, but the project was canceled when it was discovered to exist already on the DJB Wiki. The Jedi Hunters as a group were then given a vague assignment to draw up a Planetary Dossier and Profile of the House’s planet, Taruma. They were given only the simplest of commands, and no clear leader. In this atmosphere, as he had done in the Project before, Amiz took control and began guiding his peers in the direction they needed to head. It’s been through his efforts and his control that the project has advanced this far and gladly offers progress reports to the Quaestor and I each week. Besides being a strong leader, he is also a strong member. Every week I am guaranteed to find at least one Medal Request with his name on it for a Cluster of Fire, and at least one more for a Crescent. Amiz takes all new courses at the Shadow Academy when they are revealed, and has a strong presence on the Clan, House, and DB IRC Channels, as well as applicable mIRC Channels. He can also be found on AIM, MSN Messenger for those in the DB who cannot make it onto IRC for what ever reason. Because of his consistent work effort at the House Level, his consistent dedication at the Member Level, and his steady attempts at better his Battleteam Members and peers, it is my sincere and great honor to Recommend Jedi Hunter DarkAmiz for his Promotion to the Noble Title of Dark Jedi Knight. May this saber serve you well Amiz.

The promotion to Dark Jedi Knight is a long and arduous path in House Ektrosis, and few have the skill, dedication, and loyalty that the Summit demands when granting Jedi Hunters their sabers. My comrade DarkAmiz has went above and beyond what I could ever expect of anyone in their quest for their final steps in the Journeymen ranks.

Earning two merit awards, Amiz has demonstrated his loyalty and long-term dedication to the House. He's been in the Brotherhood longer than I have, and as a Battle Team Leader and now Quaestor, he's been with me for the majority of my time here. Always eager to do whatever was asked of him, always willing to take the next step, and consistently a good person.

His level of participation is unmeasurable. Hosting three of his own competitions, along with some Tal trivia here and there, he participates in almost every competition he can get his hands on within his House and Clan. That's no exaggeration either. As a Battle Team Leader he has done marvelously. His reports are detailed and precise, he promotes activity with great effectiveness, and is a role model for any Journeyman.

Amiz recently joined the gamers in the club, and has earned 82 clusters of fire to this date. His passion for the Shadow Academy has also shone through, as he has completed fourteen exams to this date. He also is a member of the Antei Combat Center, and participates in matches with other Brotherhood members regularly, adding to his all-around nature I've learned to appreciate.

The statistics aside, the main thing that sticks out to me about Amiz is his leadership potential and personal charisma. Even if he did not have an official leadership position, he was willing to run events and host competitions. He currently is the leader of a massive Ektrosis project that is developing the demographics, geography, history, and culture of our homeworld Taruma with a team of three other Jedi Hunters. While some of the other Hunters slip in and out of getting their assignments that he has organized in on time, Amiz always does anything he sets his mind to. I'm pretty sure the word "quit" does not exist in his vocabulary, which in the end works out for him and his peers. An active member on the forums, IRC, and email groups, DarkAmiz truly is the model Ektrosian.

I am honored to award you the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, and I only hope these trends can continue throughout the duration of your time as a Dark Jedi of Clan Taldryan. Congratulations Amiz, you've earned it!

Kalak has done an excellent job in running the trivia on my behalf. He is quick to e-mail me results and he has always found a replacement for himself when he cannot make it, though this is not often. He has sought ways to improve the running of trivia and I will be looking to expand his role in the Shadow Academy in the future. ~DJM Anshar Kahn Tarentae, Headmaster of the Shadow Academy

Kalak Ragnose, as an extension of the Shadow Academy, has been instrumental in organizing and planning the new Knight Commander Competitions for New Membership, which will be rolled out after the beginning of the year. Kalak has been a source of ideas, which never cease to amaze me. It is my honor to recommend Kalak for promotion to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.

Kalak has been an outstanding member during his time in CSP. He is a constant figure on IRC and is a great influence that all Journeymen and Equites should take a cue from. He is a fireball of activity and a dynamo in his work assisting the HM on SA trivia. His activity for the clan and the DB out shines even our most experienced members. He is more then deserving for this promotion and to wield a Lightsaber. Congrats Kalak!

Also......RevengeX is sexy. Kalak is RevengeX's student. Kalak is sexy.

For being sexy, Kalak needs a promotion.

It has been one year since this young Krath joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood to embark on his own quest to become one of the galaxy's most powerful Dark Jedi. Over the course of one year, this Jedi Hunter has assimilated into the Brotherhood's unique culture and has become part of our Clan's foundation. Without a doubt, I have enjoyed watching Kalak Ragnose's skills and improve in a variety of fields.

Since Kalak's last promotion, he has earned two Clusters of Fire, seven Legions of the Scholar, six Crescents (2 Emerald, 2 Sapphire, 2 Topaz), four Seals of Pain and one Dark Cross for his participation in the Eighth Great Jedi War, and recently earned one of the Brotherhood's most prestigious honors, the Seal of Loyalty. When Clan Scholae Palatinae battled against the Yuuzhan Vong in the "Reclamation of Judecca" campaign, Kalak participated in eleven events and earned 107 points for House Acclivis Draco, the second-most amount of points for an Acclivis Draco Journeyman. Earlier this month, he ran his own competition, "Hunt of Fun", which received five entries - a pretty good turnout for a House-level competition.

During his stay in the battle team Mando'ad Vode, Kalak's suggestion for the team motto ("Comradeship is the way to victory - Consors est via ad victoriam") was chosen officially. This achievement fulfilled his "Battleteam Leader Task" for his Jedi Trials. He even wrote his own Knighting Ceremony as a part of his Trials and this final piece demonstrates his improvement from the previous piece he wrote for me (a 6-page fiction about a training mission). In addition, he attempted qualification for the Antei Combat Center; he was declined entry as a full member, but he learned from this experience, instead of going on a crazy rant. If he attempts qualification again, I am certain that he will pass.

However, the main reason for this promotion is his impressive career as a part of the Shadow Academy's staff. He has served as the Magistrate of the Head Master for nearly six months; which is impressive through itself. But even more impressive is the work he did during this time. Week after week, he ran two Brotherhood-wide trivia competitions on Anshar's behalf, until the Head Master decided to close down the message board trivia event for lack of activity. As a regular participant in his IRC trivia events, I have noted that they run very smoothly and cover a wide variety of topics, from the Star Wars Expanded Universe to the history of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Originally, Kalak was supposed to complete a Clan Summit task, but Consul Phoenix and former Consul Braecen immediately ruled out the idea; running weekly competitions was sufficient.

Kalak was my first student as a part of the Master-Student Program. Without a doubt, he has surpassed my expectations and the other students I took. If every Journeyman was like Kalak... there wouldn't be anyone to pick on because everybody would be doing their work calmly and everybody would have the awesome, cool personality that emanates from his words.

I have written a recommendation for every one of Kalak's promotions and I know that this will continue in the future. Congratulations, Knight, and thank you for being great.

Apprentice Sabbastian Cyrnic has shown a great deal of zeal by completing his Character History in a very short period of time since his joining. I thus deem him worthy of the rank of Novice.

Apprentice Mörder recently earned the honor of placing second at the Shadow Academy's IRC trivia event on November 11, and was awarded a Legion of the Scholar for this achievement. For showing signs of life and interest in advancing, I request Mörder's elevation to the rank of Novice.

As Naiia's BTL, I'd like to recommend her for promotion. She has completed the Trials of an Acolyte by participating in a competition, completing a minor task set by her BTL and completing the following Shadow Academy Courses: History of the Sith Empire I & II, Sith Alchemy and Old Republic History.

As Consul and Naiia's Master, I would like to recommend that she be promoted. She has satisfied her CNS trials in this matter according to her BTL leader, as well as being in good contact with me as master and activity on the CNS Facebook account boards. I find her to be enthusiastic and an asset to the Clan at large. In fact, she may be seeking the Dark Maven: History degree, which is commendable.
