Greetings everyone.

First of all I would like to make an announcement. I have decided to appoint Acolyte Warhammer my Executive Officer. Warhammer has shown excellent IRC activity this week and last. He is always thinking of ideas to better the team. He is a major help to me whenever I need something done.

Now, on to business. I am honestly disappointed in everyone, including my self. Suday, I had assigned SA courses for everyone to complete. For most of you, it was the Leadership Studies course. That is not a hard course at all. I prefered for them to be in today, but the latest is Sunday (unless I excused you due to a RL dilema.

Competitions.

This week I will be submitting two competitions.

The first a run-on. Topic was submitted by PRT David Locke;

Just before the Clone Wars, a cloning facility not affiliated with Kamino also received a call requesting mass production of clones from Jango Fett. The clones did not do as well, with only about 50% making it out of the test tubes and half of the survivors being fit for combat. The other half had problems, either mentally or physically (too weak, mentally inept, etc.). A very small number were too intelligent, and a handful of them managed to escape from the cloning facility. They came back a few years later and took control of the facility. However, one of the facility's original managers flooded the facility with a process similar to what Han Solo was carbonized in. All of the clones, the defects, the normal clones, and the super-intelligent ones, along with a small number of the management's faculty, were trapped in space and time.

The facility, located on a remote moon in and out-of-the-way solar system, was discovered by a Sith on the way back from an assignment, and Keto's Vengeance has been given the honor of securing the facility. It will serve as a good testing ground, to root out the weak, and will also add a small base to CP/HSK. At the very least, the power generators (and other valuable items) from the facility can be removed to the HSK capital planet.

The second, is another writing comp. This one involves writing out a history for the team, where it was founded, who were the "founding fathers (or mothers ;)", what happened to them, etc.
