_ The whirring and chirping beeps of an astromech droid stirred Rasilvenaira out of her thoughts. Shaking her head, the Aedile focused her attention on the little droid.

“What is it R5?”

R5 beeped and whistled again, and the computer terminal at Rasilvenaira’s desk displayed the reports that the droid had intercepted from the Dynasty Station.

“Ah, thank you R5.”

Going over the reports, the Battlemaster was most interested in the final damage report on the merchant freighter that had been attacked. The ship had managed to get to Dynasty Station, with the aid of the Black Aces providing cover from the attacking fighters. Reaching over, she flipped on the com unit.

“Yes?”

“Thran, you’ve gone over the damage reports on the freighter right?”

“Yes I did. Why?”

“They were aiming to cripple the ship only, not destroy it, which means they likely had a larger ship near the system. Are you sure it’s a good idea to go through with that meeting? Hutts aren’t known for being trustworthy.”

“Don’t worry so much, Ras, it’ll be fine. I won’t let this go unanswered, but I need you to stay put, handle things here until I get back.”

Rasilvenaira sighed, “Alright, just, be careful Thran.” _

Greetings all,

Lots of news this week, there are new reports out from the DJM, HM, CM, and HRLD, so make sure you take a moment to read over those. Big item of interest for anyone who participates in the ACC, there have been some new changes to the rules, specifically on weapons and dual handedness, so be sure to read over Dalthid’s report. If you have questions on the changes and new rules, there is a channel set up for the Clan to ask questions and find answers, #CSPACC Feel free to drop in and ask if you are puzzled on something in the ACC. SIT is on for this Sunday (today), quite a few members of CSP qualified, so if you did make sure you get out and play. Remember that you can not play clan mates, per the ruling from Korras, that just means you need to go pwn everyone else and show them why CSP rocks!

This is a simple quote that has a lot of meaning. You can not expect things to happen, unless you make them happen. We have a Great Jedi War fast approaching; it’s due to happen sometime next month. Clan Scholae Palatinae placed Second in the Rite of Supremacy, because of the members who put their whole effort into doing all that they could to push the Clan forward. In the upcoming GJW, we have every potential of taking First. But how do we accomplish that?

It will happen only because you, each and every member in CSP, pull together and MAKE it happen. It CAN happen, and it WILL happen if you work for it. Every one of you is capable of making a huge difference in the Clan’s history and our future, the power rests in your hands. The Clan and House Summits will be there to help guide you, to provide the information you need, but ultimately, the success of this Clan is in the hands of every member.

House Caliburnus has been making its presence known, we’ve shown that we can step up and do our part when called upon. But I will be asking that each of you be ready when the GJW comes, if each person does all that they possibly can, and does the best that we can, there is no reason why CSP should come out any less than First.
