Aloha and good evening, Reinthaler.

Reinthaler/Black Phoenix Stuff

Just briefly, there's not much to discuss as far as Black Phoenix. Again, it seems like, as we come into summer, people are either tired of school, still working endlessly with jobs, family or otherwise, and activity within the Brotherhood has faltered. There's no one to blame, it's simply how this Club lives. We ebb and flow with activity. Lulls in activity come with lacks of major exercise, where actual reward can be found. I urge you all to try and break this habit as much as possible. The fact is, much can be gained together, because we all strive for activity and friendship, and prizes within the Great Jedi Wars and other major competitions are gained by being the best the Brotherhood has to offer. Honestly, the only way to be the best, to prove ourselves above all others, is to participate within the Clan, get to know each other, and enhance each other through mutual growth.

Again, I urge you all to at least communicate within the House and Clan. That helps us to grow as friends and family.

Clan/Fleet Stuff

For those of you who have, or may not have heard, I am the present and directing Fleet Admiral of Tarentum. I have been assigned to this task by the Clan Summit. My directive, my job, is to administrate and oversee the Naval aspects of this Clan, to coordinate and administrate the "OCS" exercises (Officers' Candidate School) that will provide rank and position for members who wish to serve (fictionally) within the Clan's Navy, and to judge the activities of all members within the Clan's Navy.

At present, the Clan's Navy is being revamped, as the Clan Summit has decided to turn in our current/old fleet, comprised of the ships found here (), and select new ships, squadrons and such that will serve the Clan from now into the future. While the fleet is being restructured, new ship names are bring sought out. I encourage everyone who has ideas on what names might be given to each valued ship to submit them via the Clan list. Names will be selected by myself when the final list of ships is approved by the Grand Master, Muz Ashen. Those who submit names that are selected will be rewarded by the Clan Summit, whom I believe have submitted this competition for approval and rewards to the Master-at-Arms.

If you are interested in serving in the Navy, either on board a ship, or within one of the fighter squadrons that serve the Clan, the OCS was started, and is in process of being run for those who have already volunteered. However, if you choose to be a part, I am willing to accept your request to join up. The first event, a battle plan event, has been completed. Grading will be provided by the Proconsul, who created and ran said event. The rest of the OCS exercise will be provided and judged by me. Future OCS exercises will be provided, if you do not wish to seek out a position in the Clan's Navy at this time. However, if you choose to seek out a position within the Clan's Army, you need to seek out Sato. He can help you out with the Army's OCS exercise now, and in the future, as the commanding General of the Armies of Tarentum.

That's it for now. I think I'll skip the writing tips for this week, and bring it back next week. Remember, communication is key, Reinthaler. I hope to hear from as many of you as possible soon.
