Opening Salvo:

<span class="style2">Lots to report this week. Lots of good stuff happening across the board. The leaders of Exar Kun are laying the foundation to rebuild this house and I foresee great things on the horizon. </span>

News:

<span class="style6">1.</span> Both BTLs of Exar Kun have met with QUA Cipher and AED Vith to talk about increasing activity and making this house and its battle teams the place to be. The first phase of this mission is to fill up both battle teams with all those of the rank of ACO and above. This had been completed. Soon, I will formally introduce myself to everyone via email and then I'll get some feedback on how to make the Battle Team even better. For now, I'd like to officially welcome four new members to the Blades of Kun:

ACO Mixalius

GRD Alaris Jinn

ACO Larth Dorm

DJK Jagan

<span class="style6">2. </span><span class="style2">As you'll see below, I have begun the weekly trivia competition. This is a chance to both earn crescents and to learn about your clan's background. I expect plenty of participation. </span>

<span class="style6">3. </span><span class="style2">Even though our Historian, Caedes, has transfered to Clan Arcona, I have begun work updating the storyline for our Battle Team's wiki. I always thought it was helpful to know where we stand in the grand story of the DB. If you are likeminded, feel free to read the storyline here. </span>

<span class="style6">4. </span><span class="style2">The Turkey Day Comp has been completed and the awards have been handed out. I hope everyone enjoined this little seasonal crescent fest. Here are the final results: </span>

<span class="style2">1. Imichua with 25900

1. Enamor with 19410

2. Caedes with 9980</span>

Competitions

Know Your Heroes: Plagueis the Wise <span class="style2">(link)</span>

In order to be a loyal member of your clan and your house, it will be necessary for you to know those who have gone before us.

Thus, the three Blades who best answer the following questions will receive fifth level crescents.

1. Of what race was Plagueis the Wise?

   1. Although he knew how to become one with the Force, why did Plagueis choose not to do it?
   2. What prompted Sidious to kill Plagueis?
   3. Name two goals that Plagueis sought to attain through the Dark Side.
   4. Describe in detail how Plagueis trained his apprentice.
   5. In what year did Plagueis reign? In what year did Plagueis die?
   6. Historians post-Endor were hard pressed to find any information regarding Plagueis. Why did they think this was?
   7. True or False: Did Plagueis teach Sidiuous all he knew, as Sidious claimed. Explain your answer.
   8. From where did Palpatine think that Plagueis gained his wisdom?
   9. According to Plagueis, how was one to begin to take over the galaxy?
      

Judgment will first be based upon the answer's accuracy and detail, and then upon timing.

If you get your answers in first and some are wrong, don't expect to get first place. Likewise, if your answers are perfect and you wait till the last second, don't expect first place.

It would be wise to survey both the DB wiki and Wookiepedia for answers.

Once you are happy with your answers, submit them to me via email ([Log in to view e-mail addresses])
