Aedile's Office. Base of Galeres, Faspere.

Littered with deep grooves, dents and craters, the cortosis training dummy barely stood upright in the centre of the Aedile's makeshift training facility. In the far corner of his office, Wuntila had erected dividers creating his own sanctuary within a sanctum. He lunged at the training dummy again, a flurry of Lightsaber strikes connecting and hissing against the alloy dummy. Beads of sweat cascaded down his looming brown and splashed against his chiselled torso, as the Dark Jedi Knight grimaced and carried on practicing his mastery of Shii-Cho, a thin smile lighting up his cobalt face for the entire period. He spun his lightsaber down in one effortless move, disginiting and clipping it to his belt and dropped down to begin the relentless fitness regime associated with his strength and athleticism.

"...One hundred and two, one hundred and three..." echoed within the dense walls of the old mining facility, catching the attention of a darkened figure marching toward the office from which the noise emanated. The grand arena, of which both the Aedile and Quaestor's backed on to, was a chasm of still darkness. This wasn't surprising considering the time of night it was. The dark figure waltzed into the office without as much as a knock and simply ripped open one of the divider walls and stepped into the training area. The heavily muscled Human-Theelin Hybrid heaved his dense mass off the floor with arms comparable to hydraulic pistons wrapped in thick, knotted rope.

"...One hundred and twenty four, one hundred and twenty five," Wuntila growled as he pushed himself up for the final time; he stood and gripped the towel he had conveniently placed on one of the arms of his training dummy and wiped the sweat bleeding from his forehead, "If it isn't mister Mysterious. To what do I owe this pleasure?"

"Enough with the antics, Wun. We're needed in the Command Centre. A high priority Holo-Message is on its way and both of our presence is required." The deep booming Iridonian voice was all too familiar to Wuntila's ears. If it was not pummelling him with insults only heard in the deepest corners of Tatooine, it was stuttering as the gears in the Iridonian's brain went into overdrive trying to match the previous catchphrase. Wuntila simply nodded and gripped his ceremonial combat armour and slipped it over his glistening chest.

Wuntila attempted to tie up the final buckle on the sixty pound mass of tempered cortosis and weaves, "Have you any idea what the message is about, Ceth?" he asked, however, the question fell on emptiness. The Quaestor had already made his leave. "Son-of-a-Bantha!" the Aedile cursed as he clipped his lightsaber to his ceremonial apparel, gripped his helmet, Kama and Pauldrons and began walking heavily down the corridor, dressing himself as he did.

Command Centre. Base of Galeres. Faspere

Wuntila took up the second-in-command seat on the bridge of the command centre; the luminosity of the holoprojectors and the varying models of computing systems veiled him in a prism of hues. He sat next to the now revealed Cethgus Kuga, the Quaestor of House Galeres.

"Message incoming." The communications officer announced, herding the attention of everyone in the room to the projection. The image of Sashar di Tenebrous Arconae Erinos materialized. The image loomed over the spectators in the command centre. Inarya and Maaks, the Battle Team Leaders of Sukhur"s Legion and Black Hammer Brigade respectively, jostled their way to the front, to stand beside the Aedile and Quaestor of the house.
"My Arconan brothers," The image of Sashar began, fully armoured in his Mandalorian combat suit, "The time has come to announce my retirement from the position of Consul of Clan Arcona. Taking the reins will be your old ProConsul, Celahir Erinos. Treat him with the same respect you treated me. Thank you." With that the image flickered off. The command centre was a picture of silence.

After what seemed like an eternity, Cethgus slowly rose to face his House, Wuntila following suit. "Get the Darkest Night ready. House Galeres is going to Selen." The peons dispersed in a hectic sea of ranks and colours. Cethgus turned to Wuntila, "This is the end of an era, my friend and the start of a new page. Get yourself ready. We leave in 2 hours."

Welcome

Well, as you may have all heard, there are some significant announcements to make this time. All of which will be covered. Potentially the biggest announcement this side of the Arcona/DC divide is that Dash has stepped down as Consul of Arcona. Celahir is taking the reins. I want you to all welcome him into his new position of Consul and show him the same respect you show everyone else in the clan. If not, you'll get a backhand from me, and in all likelihood, you'll be impaled by Cethgus. However, in the spirit of House Galeres, here's what I'll be covering today:

• Commendations and activity

• Competition Listings

• News from the brotherhood

To conclude, I would like to finally congratulate all of you who have made it onto the awards listings, and those who haven't but are still maintaining the infamy of Arcona. I'd like to leave you with a quick thought before I go: What would happen to your Quaestor if you threw him into a lake - would he sink or swim? You decide.
