Dark Forge Wiki Page Updates!

The Battleteam Wiki has been moving right along in the last two weeks. Several areas have been created or updated: DF-1s Armored Vest portion of the article has filled out quite nicely. Jaek took on a project to write up some details on the Battleteam's transport, the Razalon FC-20M Speeder. He also has a pretty sweet graphic depicting this speeder which will be going up on the wiki soon! Additional details have been added to the Awards section, the Distinguished Service Designator will be modified slightly, based on another graphic designed by Jaek.

Competitions

Closing

We're preparing to move into the Dark Crusade in the coming days. As a Battleteam this will be Dark Forge's first true Club wide event. During the Beyond the Horizon Event we showed just how much this group is capable of. Now is our time to step forward and represent the Clan to the rest of the Brotherhood.

Arcona has been THE leading contender in all recent Brotherhood events. As a Clan we are the unit that people are out to beat. There is a target on each of us, winning will not be easy. Quality will be a key statistic through this event, make your entries count. We each have a limited amount of bullets (time), select your targets (competitions) and knock them down. One shot, one kill folks.

I'll see you on the beach!
