Hey guys. Your friendly neighborhood Battle Team Leader, here:

I just want to say that Spectre Cell is shaping up to be the most active and capable unit I have ever worked with on the Battle Team level. We have enough talent, skill and drive to make or break the Clan Arcona in these upcoming competitions and that is what I want to talk about a little below.

I want to thank everyone that participated in the Avenged II runon, but Putra and Kalon in particular who participated in the Spectre Cell runon group. In our specific runon, our writing can be improved, mine especially, but I think we showed really good team work.

On to the rest of the show:

I have some very important things to s ..... oh shiny!

New Members!:

Krath Epis Legorii Kryotek Entar Lego is a longtime friend, a former Quaestor of Qel-Droma and an all around over achiever. He is a powerful tool for Spectre Cell (also a powerful tool in general). Please make him feel welcome.

Dark Jedi Knight Wes Biriuk Erinos A gaming power house, a long time Arconan and a core member of Soulfire at its height, Xar asked specifically to join Spectre Cell. I have high hopes for his future here.

*Special Mentions: *

Nath Voth Protector Nath Voth has only been in the Dark Brotherhood since New Years and has shot up the ranks. I want you to know that I appreciate your efforts and if you keep being as active as you are, youll have your saber in no time!

Anduriel and Valeriuskane Neither of these gentlemen are members of Spectre Cell but both of them stepped up to the plate and helped us in the Run-on and for that I thank them. Anduriel, as a member of the House Galeres, has an open invitation to join Spectre Cell any time he chooses.

The Dark Crusade is on!

And if you dont know, know ya know! (If you go through the main page make sure you go to Krayiss and not Nfolgai).

Heres the thing. We have come to understand Arcona as the power house of the Dark Brotherhood. Beyond reproach. A clan who defeats all comers truly without effort.

All those things are only half true. I have been in Arcona longer than I care to remember and long before we were the winners of the Brotherhood. My first Great Jedi War Arcona finished second from the bottom. We were the flunkies of the Brotherhood. Going into the 9th Great Jedi War, the Clan Taldryan predicted that we would finish dead last. But we didnt. We edged them out to take first place.

There were however seven other Great Jedi Wars that we didnt win. Six of those Great Jedi Wars, Taldryan did win and in that time Arcona only placed in the top three, three times. The only Great Jedi War Taldryan hasnt placed in the top three, was the very first cause they didnt exist yet. Even after the 9th Great Jedi war that Arcona there was the Rite of Supremacy Spoils of War where we finished fourth and Taldryan finished second.

Taldryan would go on to finish second in the Spoils of War and would finish second to Arcona in the 10th Great Jedi War. But by then Taldryan were an empty husk of their former selves. Today is a new day. Taldryan, who got second place on their sleep, has rebuilt and even worse the Elders whose skill kept Taldryan on top of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood for over a decade have re-awoken.

All that means that we cannot rest on our laurels. We must, each and every one of us, do everything we can to ensure Arcona kicks more ass. Unless of course you want to hear Tarax run his mouth about how great Taldryan is and how Arconas short period of dominance was a fluke.

Excellence, is not an act, but a habit!

Lets go out there and prove to the DB what Arcona can do and prove to Arcona was Spectre is capable of!

What events in the Dark Crusade do you all plan to do?
