It is my distinct honor and privilege to recommend GRD Marrek Gunstinson for a Dark Cross. Since joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, just a few weeks ago, Marrek’s sustained high level of activity and accompanying accomplishments are beyond reproach. In the past eight days alone he has completed and subsequently passed a staggering eleven Shadow Academy exams to include Wiki Basics, ACC Basics, Obelisk Core, Planets and Stars, IRC Basics, GRMG History, Lightsaber Studies, Advanced Lightsaber Studies, Combat Tactics I, Combat Tactics II, and Hand to Hand Combat. Your efforts culminated in a Dark Maven in Combat which is a highly desired and comparatively rarely earned degree in the DJB.

Certainly, the passing of eleven Shadow Academy courses and a Dark Maven in Combat, in such a short period of time is an accolade worth rewarding, but I would be remise if I did not mention the fact that a majority of those were done, not as part of a larger self serving promotion agenda, but rather to hone your DJB knowledge base for the overall betterment of the club.

As evidence to your altruistic intentions, were your efforts to improve the very courses that you took for those who follow in your footsteps. You were in direct contact with Headmaster Solari identifying discrepancies and formatting issues that he was able to correct based upon your feedback.

Your constant drive to learn and improve upon the systems, processes, and fundamentals of this organization is an example to both Journeyman and Elders alike.

Congratulations on your Dark Cross Marrek. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed.

The Dark Cross is Awarded to those who have shown a strong level of activity within their Battle Team by participation in competitions and events!

Marrek Gunstinson has really made a dent in the Shadow Academy gaining his Maven’s in Flight and General history which bumped him into Society Rank IV. Marrek also took steps towards the ACC in completing his ACC certification, while participating in the Operation Sojourn Run-On with two posts to earn 2 Clusters of Ice and two crescents! He was responsible for recruiting and guiding Adam Bolera who has been a major success in a variety of areas that are not limited to the Shadow Academy itself. Marrek serves as an ideal mentor to Adam in the way of being around to answer questions and nudging his apprentice to get to know the fellow members of his Battleteam, which has sparked an eruption of activity from the master/apprentice duo that has made Shadow Phyle the rising star that it is. Since Adam’s recruitment Marrek has received a Scroll of Indoctrination, a Scroll of Foundation, one Crescent with a topaz star, and two clusters of ice which he gained from participating in the Run-on portion of Operation Sojourn.

Congratulations Marrek!

Marrek Gunstinson fought on the front lines of Great Jedi War XI in support of Arcona’s successful war effort, participating in two of the events. Additionally, Marrek has competed in six other competitions winning an Amethyst Crescent, a Sapphire Crescent, 36 Clusters of Fire and 3 Clusters of Ice since his last award. In thanks for his efforts on behalf of House Qel-Droma and Clan Arcona, I hereby present him with this Dark Cross.

Since his last recognition (a Dark Cross in 2015), Purren has participated in 10 competitions (typically one per month since December of 2018, including two GJW events), earned a Cluster of Ice for his fiction submission in Taldryan's "Relics of the Past" competition in May, and completed seven Shadow Academy courses. As such, I request that he be awarded the Anteian Cross for his activity.
