Wartime Edition

Vendetta! Plagueis, the time has come! Sharpen your blades, service your blasters, and charge your lightsabers to their limits, for we are at War! The Vendetta Event, Rite of Supremacy: Disorder is a battle being waged between every member, harkening back to the earliest Brotherhood days and reigniting a feud long-since forgotten... until now. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, today we fight for our Orders.

Still, let us not forget the House of Ascendancy in our struggle. I hope that all of you, the most cunning Sith, the wisest Krath, and the mightiest Obelisk give it your all! In every event, we stand to make a killing! Every placement for your Order and yourself is a placement for Plagueis, and a step on the path to glorious victory! It may not be today, or this week, or even during this Vendetta. It may not happen while I am Quaestor. We may even hit Clanhood before it happens. But rest assured, Plagueis will not rest until it is done! We will not stand down, we will not cease fire or give quarter, until the title of First House of the Brotherhood rests within our confident grip!

As it stands, our primary plan is simple: Participate in the Vendetta. If you're an active Plagueian with a desire to do something, there's an event you haven't entered, and you could submit, do it! The very worst that will happen is that you won't place, and if so, who cares? Let the rest of the Brotherhood's jaws drop as they see that even the Plagueians in need of the most help fight to the bitter end. If you need assistance or advice, I don't care who you are or what Order you picked. Let myself, the Lt. Supreme Commander, or the Rollmaster know and we will strive to do all that we can! In fact, let any Plagueian know, for there should be no reason not to assist your Brethren and Housemates.

Never fear, Plagueis. In the wake of the Rite of Supremacy, we've still got an overflowing list of projects and plans. First and foremost is the Plagueian Forums Cleanup Initiative. Anyone who has recently visited the Forums will have noticed a serious change. Much of what was there, is now gone. We've cleared the obsolete, the old, and the cluttered, with only fictional events of merit remaining in lockdown mode. I'll be tasking members to help Wikify the events, creating pages for those not yet wikified and synopses for those with existing but incomplete articles. After this, we'll be working together to put information of import on the Forums and to fill it with events, topics, and posts of importance and current usage.

Concurrent with the PFCI will be the Great Wiki Cleanup. For some time, we've been going through the DJBWiki's Plagueian content. The results have shown us a boatload of critical articles that are no longer up to par, or that never were. Some are incomplete, inadequate, outdated, or simply pointless. Others simply don't exist yet, and should. We'll be assigning members with projects involving the creation, maintenance, and updating of Plagueian articles. Also, we'll be creating basic skeleton articles for Plagueian members and grouping them into our Category, before directing you to them and letting you guys fill you out. The end goal of this project: A clean, functional, informative, and comprehensive Wiki database on House Plagueis.

Finally, with our Reboot Event pushed back considerably by this Vendetta, we've had to shift focus and accelerate plans. However, don't be discouraged, for the event will still take place. We will be resetting the record for Merit Points, updating everyone's total with points earned during my reign, and hosting events that reward additional medal and participation points to everyone! All of this will come with a potent storyline, introducing a very vital and rather well-known member's origins... and you can get in on it. After the RoS, we'll be looking for Event and Storyline Planners, Graphic Designers, Gaming Specialists, ACC Veterans, Run-On Gurus, Logistics Specialists, and anyone else we can use. Basically, anyone who can lend a hand will. Also, if you get in on it now and work with us to smooth out an idea, there's always the lovely chance of a Sub-Plot for your character. Might want to give that some thoughts.

Note: Standard competitions available will be reduced in number during the Vendetta, so focus on the Rite of Supremacy.

Foxtrot Uniforms of the Jusadih Armed Forces: Grand General Mograine DJK Du'Moth DJK Koga Kage OP Yzarc Rellik Kaeth di Plagia DJK Ralph Vundu GRD Furios PRT Navrez APP Danny Quinn NOV Saphaun GRD Vengen Stormshadow DJK Kodais Solatus OPM Quejo Drakai

The biggest announcement for Army at the moment would be the appointment of Grand General Mograine! Over the past couple months, Mograine has stood out among his peers regardless of Branch and intent. He has completed tough organizational projects and has contributed where he could. Now, he has taken a big step in his Plagueian career and will oversee the Armed Forces from this point forward. Expect to see his handiwork in the Forces Organization and Future Events for Army Branch.

Also of note would be the Strike Fear Into The Enemy competition that we've got in the works. I don't expect much participation during the Vendetta, so we may reopen it later to get a concerted effort out of everyone. It's a competition that involves redesigning the armor of our troops, so prepare yourselves for after the RoS, because it could very well be your fabrication that our troops wear to the battlefield.

Foxtrot Uniforms of the Jusadih Naval Command: Grand Admiral Cassandra El'sin JH Tiberius di Cloud DJK Maol Nor Lexu KAP Kaira Rohana OE Alaris Jinn di Plagia ACO Raith Grak GRD Imichua APP Robicus Corvus APP Blackfear 44 NOV J'Mil11 JH Mehrunes "Bane" Dagon OP Habib Ali DJM Corran Force SBM Armand al'Tor

The Navy has seen the start of a new era, beginning with the appointment of Grand Admiral El'sin! Since her appointment, Cassie has been working diligently with myself and the rest of Command to get our Military System up and running! Look to her and to me for projects involving our naval fleet, their missions, and the threats they will face in the wake of the Rite of Supremacy!

Also of note here would be Cassandra's first-place finish in the Week One Identification Scan event! This is followed by another of the Navy's rising stars, OP Habib Ali, earning an honorable mention from the Herald! Great work to both of you, I look forward to your future successes and triumphs!

Foxtrot Uniforms of the Jusadih Intelligence Directorate: Directorate General Unus Domus OPM Denath Ciarus PRT Visius DJK Jendan Morgana DJK Voden Arjin KPN Alex D'Tana SBM Vivackus Kavon di Plagia PRT Serynh GRD Sephira NOV Duskit SW Galaphile Dupar OE Silent

The biggest information being passed around the Directorate's eyes and ears is the appointment of Directorate General Domus! With the drive, determination, and blunt-force honesty we've all come to know and love, Unus is making short work of problems and is driving the juggernaut of progress. With him at the helm, we can expect to see perfect subterfuge, reliable intel, and the swift and clean removal of undesirables from the system following the Rite of Supremacy!

Intel's biggest achievement this month would be the Damage Report Run-On going on in the House Plagueis Forums! Even in the heat of Vendetta, Intel Branch strives to finish the job! I look forward to seeing where our members take it, and can't wait to tie its results into future events! Keep up the exceptional work!

Foxtrot Uniforms of the Jusadih Starfighter Corps: CAG Marshal Vexer Thrace DJK Octavia Kuga SW Dismal Visutor SWL Vessicant ACO Zuser Whuloc APP Terek Rulu PRT Onteron APP Sabre' Shakee'll OT Fang Ao Tian APP Malan Voos SBL Lusankya APP Aras Loken

The pilots of the Corps assembled recently to give welcome to the newly-appointed CAG Marshal Thrace! Within her initial weeks, the Marshal has already applied many changes to the way the Corps works and has cooperated with the Navy to ensure everyone gets their rightful placement aboard capital ships in Wartime. While she is currently plagued with technical difficulties, the good Marshal has promised to return to prominence and I look forward to seeing her bounce back!

While the Corps hasn't seen too much in the way of activity, its promising new CAG Marshal and the influx of new members due to auto-sort should produce some results within the coming weeks. I can't wait to see what will happen when our pilots take to the skies to fight our foes in the Reboot event!

First and foremost, I'd like to give special mention to the members of House Plagueis as a whole. In past Vendettas, large and small, I've watched Plagueis flounder and struggle to barely survive. Time and again, we placed last and made no effort to change it. Those days are past. No matter what our placement is, we will see Novae for our effort. No matter who won the matches or took the events, we will see Seals to commemorate our work. No matter what the outcome, Plagueis, you've brought your best to this battle and you have yet to let up. I'm proud to call myself your Quaestor.

Next up, I'd like to give a big thank you to my Rollmaster and the O-11 Officers of the Regime. You guys and girls have ensured that I can avoid a minor psychotic episode by keeping things running when I'm not around. You're one of my main areas of support, and I'm thoroughly glad that I can count on someone to hold the fort. When Plagueis suffers, it's not just the Leaders picking up the pieces. It's every single Plagueian.

And now, to mention a person. I'd like to give the spotlight to Cassandra El'sin this time. Since my last report, Cassie has earned a first-place finish in a Vendetta event and a Crescent with Diamond Star to boot. She's continued to be active since her promotion to Warrior, and now her skills are showing through in full. More than that, though, Cassie's risen above and beyond the call of duty, boosting morale and bringing thoughtful new ideas to the forefront about the Navy and the House in general. Keep it up, Admiral, you're a shooting star in the skies of Jusadih!

"If we do not plant knowledge when young, it will give us no shade when we are old." -Lord Chesterfield

In case you missed it or dodged the report, our focus is Vendetta! You've all performed splendidly thus far, outshooting my hopes and dreams for this House. You all continue to grow, as people, as DJB members, and as Plagueians. With our upcoming projects, our Branches in full spin, and the Reboot on the horizon, expect lots to do in the wake of the Rite of Supremacy. Remember, every entry counts for Officer points and Order participation!

Adapt! Ascend! Avail!
