3: Comps

The new HMR run on continues, it's good practice for any of the bigger comps which will come along.

Design the new HMR base on Tarthos, here are the indepth details of the comp including the info on Tarthos itself.

The comp will last for the month of November.

Start Date: 11/1/2003

End Date: 11/30/2003

You can work in groups or on your own here is the details of our new homeworld btw,

PLANET EIGHT: Tarthos

Marka Ragnos Headquarters

SIZE (diameter): 8,430 km

DISTANCE FROM STAR: 1,174 million km

NUMBER OF SATELLITES: 0

ATMOSPHERE: Breathable, oxygen content is slightly thin though still sufficient to sustain life

HIGH/LOW TEMPERATURES: 72°C to -184°C

ORBIT DURATION (standard days): 3285

GENERAL APPERANCE: Tarthos is a mostly temperate world, yet it experiences highly unusual weather conditions. Whilst most planets have four seasons Tarthos has two, for half the year it is intensely hot whilst it orbits close to Orian Minor and for the other half the planet experiences frigid sub-zero temperatures. The environment has adapted to live around this though, with much of the wildlife going through long hibernation for half the year, leading to the strangely haunting appearance of the world which often appears as if it were already dead, when in truth the planet is merely asleep.

INDIGENOUS LIFE: Greatly varied, Tarthos is home to a number of unique species that have adapted to survive in its unique environment. This said, the native Orians have found a home on the planet and survive in many of the ancient facilities built centuries ago by the Sith.

OTHER INFORMATION: Just like Aeotheran and Sepros, Tarthos was once a fortress world of the Sith Empire during the reign of Urias Orian. Much of the planet is still covered with the vast cities that were built to allow the planet to sustain life for a complete cycle of Orian Major. The followers of Marka Ragnos have chosen Tarthos as their new homeworld, and it has been here within the ancient Sith relics that the new Krath cathedral has been established.

Krath High Priestess's Weekly Report

1. We're still going to go ahead with the run-on centre, even though it may now be redundant. Isn't it strange how you get an idea, and then suddenly everyone else 'has been working on similar a thing for months now...' Anyway, yeah.

2. Not to be put off, we have a second rabbit in the hat that we can try, but this time it's a secret rabbit so I'm not gonna tell you what colour it is :P

3. Because we're being super-efficient at the moment, krath.org WILL soon be working again. It's gonna kill me, but I'll get there :P

Thanks to Tiss, Arania and Dranik for their help with this.

If anyone has ideas for what should be on krath.org, e-mail me.

1. The Epic comp closes this Friday! 21st November. Send your entries to me, Ciara and Trev.

2. Character development competition Part 2

Write an account in the first person ("I walked...", "as I speak...", etc) about a incident when you taught something to another jedi that, at the time, you considered to be an important lesson.

"The Prophecy"

I wish you good fortune

And strength

Against challenge from others

To be influential

And want for nothing

Always in service

Here into this hour

For upon this night

They are watching you walk

Through the shadows, and sideways

Into the deepest midnight

The moon lit upon your face

Will you stand proud

Or will you falter?

For in this game of consequence

None shall be left standing

If your are not steadfast

They see you step

They count your days

And you live out the moments

One by one

Until they come for you

And drag you to oblivion

These words fill the heart of the apprentice with icy dread.

He runs screaming from the Observatory, blood running from his eyes in thick rivers, staining his white robes. Dead, an hour later, he is found; the pages torn but decipherable in his cold fingers.

The Dark Council hushes the incident, but within a day, the

entire Krath Order and a few among the Sith and Obelisk have heard these words. What do they mean? How will they react?

Entries (and complaints about the length of the topic ;P) to Trev please: [Log in to view e-mail addresses]

In closing,

Another week down. I'd really like to hear more of what you the mebership want from the house, even a random email stating you are still alive and what you're up to.

Ok I'll shut up now. :P

In Darkness,

KAP Janos Silverwulf

Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos
