Kyrun and Azasell walked down a hallway on the Bothan Assault Cruiser, Darkest Night. Though they had recently joined Galeres, it was clear that something was going on. The difference was that they had no idea what actually was happening.

The ship was preparing for a hyperspace jump, with naval ratings sprinting to their posts. The two Journeymen had joined a Galeres preparing for war. The Dark Crusade had run its course over four planets of the former Sith Empire, where the cowardly One Sith cowered and hid.

As a man came sprinting past, obviously heading to the bridge of the ship, his shoulders slammed into the Journeymen, pushing them against the wall. Kalon turned his attention to the two of them, glaring at the pair.

"Move out of my way next time, or I will personally crush you." his voice echoed through the halls as he quickly moved off back to the task at hand.

The two Protectors stared at each other momentarily before directing their gaze on the rapidly retreating back of the Templar.

"Who was that?" Azasell enquired, his time in Arcona shorter than his companion's.

"Some hotshot called Kalon Dane. The bloke seemed to have done something or other in the Independence Games?" Kyrun responded, rolling his eyes in derision.

A cough sounded behind them, attracting their attention. The two Galereans turned to find themselves looking at a bemused Sanguinius. The Quaestor smiled, "You'll find my former student to be a little gruff at this moment in time. He is preparing his squad to drop into the thick of things. Impending death often clarifies one's perceptions and affects their behaviour."

Azasell and Kyrun nodded and parted to let the Exarch through, their short time in the Militant House had not blunted their awe of their Quaestor yet. Sanguinius chuckled as he passed the pair by, making his way after Kalon.

One of the newer members of House Galeres walked up behind both of the Protectors giving them a small nudge, she looked inquisitively at what had just taken place.

"What was that all about?" her voice chimed in behind the two of them. As they turned around to look at her, they recognised the woman as Riverche, one of the members of Soulfire Strike Team, the super-commando team that had characterised the Militant House for countless years.

"Quaestor Tsucyra was just informing us about his student's bad mood." Kyrun responded, Azasell nodded in agreement, before continuing on from where Kyrun stopped. "I think he apologised to us?"

"Didn't sound like he apologised." Riverche responded, "Sounded like he was informing you that we're about to dropped into a shitstorm of trouble."

The Guardian had fought on Rhelg and had shown herself to be a steady hand during the recent Independence Games. She had seen and experienced war first hand and was already classed as a veteran compared to the two Protectors.

An artificial voice issued forth from the speakers situated throughout the ship, the voice was the Consul's, Wuntila Arconae. Crew and Dark Jedi came to a stop as they paid attention to their commander.

"Arconans, hear me. Our time has come, our time to show the enemies of the Brotherhood the power of the Shadow Clan." The diatribe paused for a second, the sign of a skilled orator. "We fought on the fields of New Tython and triumphed, we fought at Krayiss II and slaughtered the One Sith on that desolate planet. We destroyed the last vestiges of resistance on Rhelg, claiming the lion's share of the rewards. Now, we set our sights on Barghebba."

The artificial voice crackled, adding to the tense moment. "We will hound the pretenders, we will burn them out, chase them and they shall know fear. They shall hear our cries and quake. They will see our banners and turn to flee. The One Sith shall fall, and Arcona will be the spear that tears the life out of them."

Cheers erupted, shouts of agreement and chants of "Arcona Invicta" echoed around the ship. The speakers blared one last time before falling silent.

"Arcona Invicta, my brothers and sisters, let us show them the meaning of the word fear!"

Riverche, Kyrun and Azasell looked at one another, an unspoken message passing between all three of them. They would do their House proud, their Clan proud and prove themselves worthy of the power that they so desperately craved.

Welcome to another edition of the Galeres Clan Summit report, we're starting off with the Dark Brotherhood news.

The IGs are over, Galeres won. 4 out of the top 10 placements? We'll take that. Thanks guys! Props to Kalon for champion, Andrelious for second, Legorii for fourth, Troutrooper for fifth and Atyiru for seventh place. You guys rocked it. A shout out goes to all of the rest of you who participated in the Independence Games. I had to sit down and work out just how many entries you guys had put in and was shocked by the number. 184 entries! 184!!!!!! If we could look at that many for the whole Clan from the Dark Crusade, I would be pretty bloody chuffed.

CNS are looking for a new PCON and QUA.

Scion is the new QUA of Tarentum

Solari has a small report

The next stage of the Dark Crusade begins in just over 2 hours at the time of writing this report, Wuntila discusses the situation in his Consul report that went out yesterday. I suggest reading it if you haven't already to get some idea of what's going on. We smashed the last two planets, let's wipe the floor with HOU and Scholae. I want the other Units to avoid us like the plague for the rest of the Dark Crusade, let's show them all what the Militant House can do. Make Stu and I write LOADS of recs! We love writing recs.

Also huge news, Wuntila our proud Consul has give all of you a challenge, and that challenge is simple and as follows. If you manage to take one Gold Nova and one other Nova in this round of Dark Crusade you get a Cythraul. Think you got what it takes? Think you can do what is required? Then give it your best. You want it badly, then grab it. He has given you a chance to earn one, don't ignore it they don't come often!

Onto House news, we have seen both of the our Battleteams releasing reports not so long ago, and seeing their members getting around to developing the teams further. But for those that are not part of a team already feel free to hit either the leaders up, or myself and Sang. We will be happy to sort this matter out for you.

Also since the last report, we have selected members for the position of Battleteam Leader, though we saw many excellent applications two of these shone through. If you haven't already seen Teroch has once more assumed the mantle of Sergeant of Soulfire Strike Team. While Kalon has taken on the position of Sergeant of Dark Forge. Though we also saw others stand out and prove their worth, so the new leaders also take on the mantle of training their Executive Officers. For Soulfire Strike Team we see S'nar taking the position. Atyiru has taken on the other roll in Dark Forge.

We are seeing a huge drive taking place lately, both of us are impressed by the turn out in the IGs from all of you. Your hard work and effort that you put in has not gone unnoticed, filling our inboxes up lately with medals. Each of you should be proud with the amount of work that you have done and I look forward to seeing you continue to do the work.

The main thing we want to continue to push forward is the fact that Dark Crusade starts tomorrow, we need all of you to step up once more and do your very best, and continue to prove why Arcona is the best Clan in the Brotherhood.

Well what can we both say about this, you are always keeping out inbox full at this moment in time with medals and awards and promotions. You have all stepped up and made a mark on this Clan. With the Dark Crusade up and coming you all have another shot at getting those medals in, so I want you to continue to do your best. So below we list medals and promotions!

We would like to say that though the medals have been impressive, we have all been impressed by the amount of exams that have come through our inboxes. It is impressive to see that we have the older and newer members alike continuing to take exams and progress their understanding of the Brotherhood as a whole. The following Exams have been taken since our last report:

Atyiru - Run On Studies, Leadership Fundamentals,

Nath - Leadership Studies,

S'nar - Combat Tactics I, Advanced Lightsaber Studies, Hand to Hand Combat,

Troutrooper - Combat Tactics II, Mandalorian Studies, Alchemy Studies, Galactic Languages,

Azasell - ToR Basics

I know that with the Antei Combat Center currently being down for a bit none of you have been able to get any matches in. This still has not stopped members making sure that their Character Sheets are up to date. This will be a huge help in Run-Ons and other things to show what your characters abilities are like. So the following people have sorted out Characters Sheets:

Liu'qin - CS Approved

Nath - CS Approved

Riverche - CS Approved

Morrighan - CS Approved

S'nar - CS Approved

Atyiru - CS Approved

Kyrun - CS Approved

Sang: "An early report? What the hell is going on here Sang?" I hear you say. I know, it's freaking me out too. Cethgus and I decided to quickly put out a Galeres report due to the timing of the marking of the Independence Games and the start of the next stage of the Dark Crusade. Don't worry guys, you won't be getting crazy things like this happening again. I plan to go back to doing no reports again real soon! I promise!!!!

All joking aside, the IGs have shown the Brotherhood the dominance of the Militant House and I look forward to seeing the showing in May.

Just a hint for something coming up in June regarding Galeres. You'll see an old enemy vanquished, a new foe appear and SCEPTER (Our public front) being developed during this month of downtime. I look forward to seeing Galeres develop fictionally and expand the identity of the House.

June is shaping up to look like a fun time for you guys, I'm liking the ideas I'm bandying around at the moment. I hope you guys like the finished project.

Cethgus: Since the last report, I would like to give a shout out to a few members, these people have been a pleasure to work with and have come a long way in Galeres: Atyiru, S'nar, Riverche, Azasell and Kyrun.

Though they are only Journeymen they have been producing activity and creating a good environment inside of the House. Sustaining a stable amount of activity and constantly being around. So great work to all of you and keep it up people. Other than that, I would also like to say that for those who have not his a Crusade yet, It will be a pleasure to work beside all of you in this point. For those that have lets go out and do what we did last round, we know we can do it again.

For all of you, not just Galereans, but Qel-Dromans that are reading this report, it is once more our chance to win a planet. I will see you all on the frontlines and I know that you will all do your best. I am honestly proud to call myself an Aedile of Arcona and that is down to all of your hard work and dedication that you put in.

Sanguinius T. Entar

Quaestor of House Galeres
