<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:14pt">Introduction</span>
Welcome to my first Quaestor report in about seven years - and my first as Quaestor of Qel-Droma! I'm going to try to keep this brief, as Wally just put out a massive report and I don't want to make all of you suffer through the same briefing twice. You might notice the lack of a fiction at the top. That's intentional - you'll see why in a few days. Also noticeably absent are any House or BT competitions. We're in one of those rare in-between periods, but expect several released at both the House and Battleteam level over the next week. We have some big things approaching on the horizon, including addition events against House Odan-Urr, among others. Now is a great time to get in some writing and gaming practice. I'd recommend participating in the Clan and DJB comps, so you aren't caught flat-footed. And now, on with the show!
<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:14pt">Announcements</span>
<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:11pt;">House News</span> Realloction of Resources - As everyone should already know, we've had a major rearrangement of leadership in Qel-Droma. There have been separate announcements for most of this, but just to recap:
- Socorra is the new Battleteam Leader of Shadow Gate
- We've opened a new Battleteam in Qel-Droma - Void Squadron! It is an Elite Fighter Squadron, and there's an excellent wiki article on it that you can find [here.](http://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/Void_Squadron)
<ul><li>Solus Gar (Slagar) has been appointed BTL of Void Squadron, with Sang as his XO.</li></ul>
- Applications closed for Clan Rollmaster and both House Aedile positions on the 8th. Expect an announcement in the very near future.
_New Battleteam Membership Policy_ - Battleteams ought to be a bastion of activity within the Brotherhood. They are a great way to develop your character, and give you a close-knit group of peers you can turn to when it comes to growing within the Brotherhood. Too often, however, people grow complacent: satisfied to take up a spot on a roster and respond to the yearly AWOL check, but little else. While the Dark Jedi Brotherhood is a social community, and there are a great number of members I personally enjoy speaking with who do little else besides talk, that isn't the purpose of Battleteams. Battleteams are about participation, about advancement, about...duh, winning!
After consulting with the Battleteam Leaders and Clan Summit, we have decided to implement the following policy effective immediately:
- Continued Battleteam membership will require participation in at least one (1) competition per month.
- The type of competition doesn't matter, nor the difficulty - it can be Brotherhood, Clan, House, or BT level.
- Battleteam Leaders will track activity for their members and submit a report, monthly, on their respective activity.
<ul><li>_**This means you have to CC your BTL on everything!**_</li></ul>
- Members who fail to meet the requirement will be removed from the Battleteam, though they will remain members of House Qel-Droma.
- Members on a declared Leave of Absence (as per the DJB Website) are exempted from this requirement.
Please direct any questions or concerns regarding this policy to your Battleteam Leader, myself, and Wally. If you feel you can't meet this requirement for whatever reason, please let us know that as well. We love to have old friends (and new!) around, even if they don't compete - but since there are a limited number of spots in any Battleteam, we feel the need to reserve them for active members. I hope to see every one of your names on competition submissions this month!
<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:11pt;">Clan News</span> PCON Wally - Unless you've been living under a rock the past two weeks, you know that our own illustrious Marick Del'Abbot has been chosen as Proncsul of Arcona. Our congratulations and warm wishes go out to you, Wally, and we're behind you 100%!
<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:11pt">Brotherhood News</span> TOR Release - The official release is 12/20, but early access begins in under a week. Basically our entire Summit and half of the Dark Council will be on. Will you? Join Form FIxed - Thanks to the awesomeness that is Orv, the join form is officially fixed. Allocation of new members has been fixed for several weeks, but the issues where memebers weren't receiving join emails should not be resolved as well. Unit Menus Updated - We've updated the unit menus (up at the top...no, higher...to the left...there!) to reflect the closing of Revan and to show Odan-Urr actually existing, but let the SCL staff know if you encounter any issues with the site. We're here to help.

As with most of the Dark Brotherhood leadership, I have a Formspring where you can ask questions and get an in-character answer on my reports. You can find it at [ http://www.formspring.me/InvictusDJB](http://www.formspring.me/InvictusDJB). This week's question:
<pre> </pre>Socorra asks: "Chin up, Vic. Why are you always so blue?" <pre> </pre>Invictus replies: "According to noted xenobiologist Sterling Hershey's <a target="_blank"" href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Unknown_Regions">_The Unknown Regions, my cerulean coloration is due to the absorbtion of Csilla's glacial minerals over time."_
That's all for now, but tuned in next week for more excitement. Same Chiss time! Same Chiss channel!
