It was only a day's hibernation to take the TIE ship through hyperspace to the planet that once housed the greatest Sith Empire before the Clan's namesake. Prajna awoke and refreshed his senses from the long nap. There were two ships floating among random hordes of debris, some of which surely dated back thousands of years. One was a small transport, all systems were off and no life forms detected. The other PJ approached with more caution. It looked like an old Republic Corvette, one that had seen plenty of fighting.

_Thran really sent me out here? _ Prajna shuddered as he read the scans. Something was wrong: there was no one alive on this ship either. He pulled in to land in an airtight docking bay. As he popped off his helmet, the Templar remembered he hadn't done a scan of the ship with the Force. He quickly closed his eyes and reached out. The feeling reminded the Dark Soldier of a room with no lights on. It was that same sight of the Force that made the Cerean quicken his step as he explored the ship.

Prajna recalled his Quaestor's instructions. It's an old Imperial Dungeon ship turned refugee camp. You're looking for an old man who goes by the name "A-pall". Quick research had come up with Ajunta Pall, an ancient Sith Lord who had once lived on Ziost. "Ajunta!" Prajna said out loud, and with a slight echo in the Force. It only took one test into the water to get a nibble.

A booming voice rang through Prajna's mind. "That is Lord Pall to you weak Jedi." A cloud floated through the poorly lit hallway in front of him.

The Cerean flashed an unnatural Corellian smirk. "If you were Ajunta, you would see I have no light in me. I represent all that is evil in the galaxy."

"Lies." Replied the ghost. "You are no Sith. Ah, of course. You are one who seeks the Dorimad Sol." Prajna's face gave to much reaction, and the Force Shadow could sense his correctness. "You have come far to return with nothing. So I will tell you: Dorimad is not here."

"You know more. Tell me and I will free you from this place."

"HA!" The ghost chucked. "You can not free me, but I will tell you a story anyway." PJ closed his eyes and listened through the Force in hopes to get the story better. "I was once a Lord of the Sith. However, my people banished me from Ziost for eternity when they learned I had a part in Ajunta's death. So this is as close as I can ever get to the one place I called home."

"You are a Jedi! You are weak. No Sith would allow himself to be thrown off his pedestal of power."

"Of course I was once a Jedi. I was Ajunta's padawan. When he left, I followed. And to leave the power, I was killed by ejection into space. My body only lasted seconds in the vacuum, but I let my spirit wonder until I could get revenge."

"What does this have to do with Dorimad Sol?"

The spirit almost nodded, joyful of the dark emotion known as impatience. "Markus Ragnos lived many hundreds of years after me, but I watched him from here. He wasn't the real source of power that sparked the Great Sith Empire. No! One stronger knew he was just a mortal and to truly live forever he would have to create an ideal and a dynasty. I think you are part of that line. I can feel your hunger. It is quite different than that of a Sith."

Prajna dusted his shoulders off. The ghost continued. "I am just a failed Sith Lord, but the Dorimad Sol was true success. He will live forever where I can not. When you reach the power, come back and I will tell you the rest before you kill me. Thank you, Prajna Berkana."

Prajna almost asked questions. Then he thought again. Perhaps freeing this ghost would be a good thing. He would have to think on that. For now he had to return to Caina. Work must get done.

The one and only most important report ever yet written by the Aedile of the Greatest House in the universe...

I start with the only outstanding competition: Spoils of War. I had many outstanding entries, but only one will be modified and posted to wiki as our official winnings from February's victory. Our lone Dark Jedi Knight, Korbin, has claimed victory. Korvyn and Cethgus will also receive a token for efforts to craft our pub.

ACTIVITY REPORT

Almost 3 weeks have gone by, so as expected much has been done!

We have a Jedi Hunter of Scholae returning to seek knighthood! Welcome back Tiberius. He has come to serve under his old master Raidoner. I hope to see many submissions in the coming Independence Games.

Bal was promoted to Protector a few weeks ago. Now I have to go track him down and get him back on track to Guardian!

For Glorious Awards we have several: both Korvyn and Dante received an Anteian Cross, RH earned a Steel Cross, and Tash was gifted a Dark Cross. HDS is Damn Sexy!

Robin and Angelo also have earned Dark Mavens. They are working too hard! I have been working 5 years on my degree.

Melvin is ACC qualified. Go challenge him for an easy win. You know he is new and only a Guardian so that means easy pickings ;)

Here is the rest:

Bal- SAx3

Thran- SAx2

RH- SAx7, LoS, Emeraldx2, Amethyst

Korvyn- SAx2, Emerald

Dante- SA, PoB, LoSx2, Amethyst, Ruby,

Melvin- SA, Amethyst

Tash- Topazx2

Blade- Sapphire

Ceth- Topazx2, Emerald

Prajna- LoS

Korbin- Sapphire

We had hundreds of Clusters of Fire. I am very excited for both our activity and domination in the coming months. I fully expect this will be the hands down strongest House of both CSP and the Brotherhood, especially in gaming. I hear some of Tal wants to challenge this. Let’s prove them wrong!

Independence Games and other projects

So many of you wonder what is going on. Well I have been busy planning the largest event ever to be touched by Cerean wisdom. Many of mostly Scholae leadership has pour sweat into this, but I alone control the masterplan! Muhaha. Expect a big news posting this weekend. I will say no more.

Also, I recently made the CSP Royal Gazette readable to all, instead of the few who had to download the poor thing. I will be part of the crew to design an even more impressive paper for the next issue.

In the newsletter projected, I was drafted to aide the other House summits in constructing CSP's very own website. My past skills and ability to adapt to anything make me perfect for this. I will be doing much toward that.

I will be working to redraft my own Wiki, a special NPC for HDS that has already been seeded, and also to expand the growing history of our House to include our achievements and discoveries.

In addition, I have set a goal to reach E3 by the end of the year. That means you can all only dream of second in anything I decide to compete in. Still second to me is a righteous position. To make you feel better, remember "First is the worst, second is the best, and third is the one with the polka-dot dress (Thran)". This does not apply to House or Clan standings, as you will be with me there so we should be able to steal for first!

Remember the IGs are coming. They will give you enough to be busy for all of your free time. I look forward to a full email box from all the activity you do. If I see slacking, I will piss in your shoes and blame it on Nitemare (Tarax).

Cerean Wisdom For the cranial impaired...

"Do you need anybody?

I need someone to love.

Could it be anybody?

I want somebody to love

Oh...

I get by with a little help from my friends,

I'm going to try with a little help from my friends

I get high with a little help from my friends

Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,

with a little help from my friends"

The Beatles are truly one of the greatest masters of the musical craft. This is a reminder that we are family and we do things best together. Fight on HOUSE DAMN SEXY!
