(from HDS QUA)

Two dozen armor clad troopers stormed into the construction area, rifles ready for action. Lead by the Proconsul himself, the Stormtroopers surrounded House Dorimad Sol's Aedile. Each weapon buzzed as the soldiers aimed them at the man. He stood startled and confused. Lucien stepped into the circle and began to read the directive from the Emperor.

"Battlelord Thran Occasus, Aedile of House Dorimad Sol, You are hereby placed under arrest for insurrection, defamation of the Emperor, and treason. The penalty for this crime is public castration. Anything you say or do will be taken as evidence. Will you cooperate?" The man said, trying his damnedest to keep a straight face.

"I am innocent…of those crimes." Thran replied.

"You will be allowed to plead your case in front of the Emperor." Lucien added. "Follow me, please."

The loyal group of soldiers locked Occasus in a pair of binders and placed a black bag over his head. At the point of 24 E-11 Blaster rifles, the Bakuran was marched to the Proconsul's Shuttle. They did their best to rough him up a little as they boarded the vessel. His head slammed into the bulkhead as they sat him down. Utterly confused, by this point, Thran called out to Lucien Kaeth.

"Is this necessary? Did Braecen put you up to this?"

"For our safety, reports claim that you attempted to suicide bomb the Quaestor of your own house. There is no telling what you may do. You will be released when we reach the Emperor." Lucien said smiling, tickled by seeing Thran like this.

The Shuttle shook as it lifted from the ground. Occasus knew instantly what vessel he was aboard. Again, he called out from behind the veil.

"Suicide bomb? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard… Say Lucien, would you tell the pilot to adjust his trim, it will cut down on the shakiness of atmospheric flight. These Lambdas always were a little rough around the edges."

"Wow, Admiral…I am impressed." Lucien replied.

After a short journey, filled with Thran mocking and insulting everyone aboard the Cygnus manufactured Shuttle, the retrieval team arrived on Judecca. They dragged the wrestling Sith from the craft, kicking and screaming. One soldier brought his weapon down onto the Battlelord's head, knocking him out. Lucien winced, imagining the pain.

When Thran Occasus awoke, it was still dark; his head was still in a bag. Suddenly, a cheer came from a crowd of people. A terrible feeling sank into the pit of his stomach and he swallowed hard. The voice of Phoenix Palpatine, Consul and Emperor filled the air.

"Thran Occasus has been found guilty on all charges. The penalty for which is PUBLIC CASTRATION!"

As he finished his words, the crowd roared with excitement. Phoenix grabbed the bag, and pulled it off the captive Aedile. Blinking in the bright lights, Thran feared the worst. Lucien handed Phoenix a large sword, which he admired fondly. He turn to Occasus and spoke.

"Any last words?"

Thran yelled a panicked reply. "Please…I'll do anything! Please!"

Phoenix postulated a moment and brought his leg back. With a firm kick to Occasus' groin, the Consul spoke again.

"No, the look on your face said enough…Congratulations Quaestor…"

---

Yes, you read correctly, Thran Occasus has resumed the mantel of QUA. This was brought down by Consul Emeritus Dakari Kaeth, as RL plagues another one of our valued members. In Thran's stead, he has appointed Prajna Berkana as his Aedile of Dorimad Sol. As you may all have seen, Thran has been working diligently in putting together the "background" of HDS. We expect even more in the weeks to come.

Cease-Fire Agreement:

I would like to point out something bout the agreement with Arcona; remember there is a difference between joking and actual attacks. Please do not take everything so seriously when on IRC, remember, you can't see or hear what a person is saying, so when in doubt, brush it off as a joke. Also, make a quick jab back, everything is usually done in good fun and not meant as an insult. Coming to us over every little thing will only end in one avenue, a lot of real complaints will be looked over. If you don't like what some people are saying, put them on ignore(unless you're a summit, then you do not have that luxury).

HC vs HDS:

As you all may have seen, HDS has began a conflict against HC. Members of each house are encouraged to get out there and give their all for their houses. Glory and Honor are yours for the taking...All you have to do is reach out and take it!

Restructuring of the Wards:

After some consideration, the summit has decided to restructure some of the Wards of CSP. Those changes will go as follows:

Ward of the North Fiction: TBA

Ward of Caina: Xan; JO/JA

Ward of Antenora: TBA

Ward of Ptolomae: Filled, but uncertain (EaW/FoC/BF2)

As of right now, the planet wards will work as separate entities in training, but will be collaborating when engaging in Clan Wide Events.

Promotions/Medals:

As you all have seen, Thran Occasus has recieved the coveted Sapphire Blade for his hard work and determination for the Clan. Go read how he got his to know how to get one.

Also, Yzarc Rellik Kaeth was just promoted to Obelisk Templar for his hard work as Aedile of House Caliburnus. Drinks are on both the members.

Artifacts:

We are still looking for someone to help us out on this project. It will go a long way in both Clan Lore, and, possibly taking the Ward of the N. spot.

Paths:

Some minor alterations have to be done to appease the higher-ups, but we are one step closer to having them out.

Website Redesign:

Right now a team is putting together a restructured and better looking website for the Clan. Look for that in the near future.

Facilities:

The Quaestors having been pouring over pages and pages of information and, I have to say, have killed the chimp trained to read the material. I have personally stepped up a read over the material and must say, have been impressed with what I have seen. Once they have completely adding on and finishing off what they have, they will be released.

Loss of Members:

As you all have seen, Syphoc Rilkel Kaeth has been appointed AED of House Exar Kun of Clan Plagueis. Good luck in your new post!

Both Esca and Zeron has transfered out, one to Arcona, the other to Rogues.

To the Future:

It may sound like a broken record, but, we all need to step up activity. Whether it be ACC, Fictions, Gaming, or just going to the Summits and seeing what can be done or helped on in their list of things. The only way to do it is to stay the course, push forward and crush those who stand in our way.
