Primus Pilus Battleteam Commander Report, 06/25/11 34 ABY

Deep Core, Jusadih System Planet Shintera, Sigil 4 Theskel - 55 km outside City of Haktand

"You can't escape, Kast." Kal said, emerald eyes stained a sulfuric, bloodshot gold by the Dark Side. "Surrender, and we'll make your death painless."

"Pah!" The Rodian spat, his voice slightly distorted. His green lightsaber thrummed with fierce intensity. "You'll never stop me, Taskmaster. Nor will your little entourage." Twisting his blade, he assumed a combat stance, his black eyes taking on a cruel set.

His entourage and the Dark Jedi there glared at one another a moment longer, the air seeming to drip with lethal hatred, before the group moved in for combat. Somebody was going to die on Theskel's sands.

News

As my introductory fiction above would indicate, the competition Renegade Down has drawn to a close. If you have an unsent entry, now is the time. I will stop accepting them as of midnight, my time. That's in three and a half hours.

Our first piece of news is the appointment of our newest Quaestor, former Aedile Tra'an Reith. By his leadership, Plagueis stands to live up to its motto of Adapt, Ascend, Avail. We can only hope that his era will help us to claim our rightful place as Clan and First Clan, and as Primus Pilus, we will be the blade that his steady hand guides in for the kill. Make no mistake about it; we are the future of this House, the beating heart and the pulsing veins that the brain of the Summit will direct.

This brings me to my current analysis; our progress this week has been mottled at best. On one hand, we have contact from many of our members and seem to have resumed some activity. Our Flight Leaders are active, our members are participating. That said, several of you have not met requirements that I've put in place. It has been two weeks since my last report; if you cannot be minutely active within a span of two weeks, you are not active enough for Primus Pilus.

I can only hope that this week will be better, and that almost everyone on the team doesn't have to be dismissed. Enough with the slacking, people; if you can do it, prove it. If you can't, then don't. The time for leniency is at an end. Already, two members have fallen; I hope the rest will stand.

And with that, on to the report.

Future Plans

In total:

Major Competition. Expect this to tie into either House Lore, larger DB events, or Jusadih planetary matters. When this comes out, I expect lots and lots of participation, free of any nagging. We are Primus Pilus; we don't need to be told what to do. We just do it.

Minor Competitions. Expect a ton of these; to anyone who doesn't know the rules yet, here's a hint. These will nicely fill your weekly Personal Activity Requirements.

Great Jedi War Participation. Let's sum this up in one sentence: The highest activity out of Plagueis in the Great Jedi War will be coming from Primus Pilus. Prepare yourselves.

Current Policy

• All Primus Pilus members are obligated to maintain a weekly Activity Standard; I want to see you doing something. One warning and you're out.

• All Primus Pilus members are obligated to attempt to boost the Activity and/or Morale of PLA each week. This should be done in a way that I can verify and reported to me. One warning and you're out.

• All Primus Pilus members are required in the War Room whenever they are present in DJB Channels on IRC. I don't ask this; I demand it. The War Room is the Plagueis hub of activity, and will be treated as such. No warnings; If I deem it, you will be kicked out, so don't hesitate. The password for the channel can be requested via Email.

• All Primus Pilus members are required to maintain a standard of behaviour. I want you all to act maturely, responsibly, and helpfully on IRC and in Email. If it's a minor infraction, three warnings and you're out; if it merits CoJ attention, I won't even warn you. Keep your nose clean.

• All Primus Pilus members are obligated to have an approved Character Sheet. These can be created by logging into the DJB site and using the "Character Sheet Administration" link. If you need help, ask. Two warnings and you're out.

• Journeymen between the ranks of APP-ACO, alongside special cases, will recieve leniency based on my judgment. This is not a free pass; as many of you well know, I am a slave driver. If I spare you, it's because I see merit. Don't expect it.

• Reports will contain important information and policy updates. Anyone who does not read the report does so at his or her own risk; I will not accept "I didn't know" as an excuse. The information has been provided; you must choose to understand it.

Food for Thought

Conclusion

We all have potential, gentlemen. We can all be great. This House, Plagueis, is destined to be the greatest in the Brotherhood; it shall rise to Clanhood and First Clan in time. Its hands will guide the future, and this Battleteam is the lightsaber that shall be wielded when the time comes. Never forget that. Never forget that we can be mighty; you all have the potential. I am merely the guide to your greatness.

Adapt. Ascend. Avail.
