News

So first off, all let’s get the main news out before our next uber-sexy report. The Dark Crusade has finally finished, and we took second place in overall standings on this one; but it was an epic job getting there. We have had the pleasure of working alongside some amazing people during this whole thing, and it has to be said that we are proud of all of the hard work you have put in. Let’s face it: we are simply awesome. Of course we already know that but this Dark Crusade gave us the opportunity to show it to everyone else.

ACC

The ACC Open Beta is coming soon! Check out the very news post that talks about it. Once the database is up and everything’s ready for us on the staging site, you’ll all have the opportunity to challenge your friends, friendly enemies, and general acquaintances to epic battles of combat and cunning and whatnot. (Or, put more plainly, beat the crap out of each other in-character :P ). Keep your eyes open, everyone! It’s nearly here.

Gaming

What gaming updates are there? Well, as most of you have already seen, the major announcement that is currently happening is that Bioware has finally launched the Galactic Starfighter missions for The Old Republic. We have seen a lot of members coming online and trying their hands in this, so if you queue up with someone you will be able to get Clusters of Fire if you submit it correctly. Check in with the Fist report if you want to know how to submit it; and at the same time if you want to run Flashpoints or Heroics, these will also give you Clusters of Fire for your hard work. So, make sure that all of your gaming activity is submitted. Have fun out their guys, and I look forward to seeing you ToRing or just gaming in general.

House News

We have seen a lot taking place recently, most prominently in the effect of a change in the Battleteams. We have seen a third Battleteam open in Galeres titled Nighthawk. This team was the creation of Teroch and has already seen members moving in giving Galeres a nice even ground in the Battleteams. This means that the transfer options have now been sorted, and everyone has been assigned to either their first choice in team or their second. With that being said, this new shuffle has seen new members come to Galeres and even some old ones leave. I would like to welcome all of you to Galeres, and we would like to wish those that have left the best in Clan Arcona. We will continue to drive activity forward, and let everyone settle into their new positions. Keep doing what we are all doing its making for an awesome House to be apart of for everyone involved.

Medals

So, we have seen an amazing amount of medals come across our inbox. So many that some would hardly believe; but the huge list below will show how much work you have all done.

Closing Thoughts

Cethgus: Well, what can I say, this was one hell of a report to write. I have seen all of you do so much recently and gotta say that I am proud of each of you. Also a huge thank you on my part to my summit, the team has been awesome all of the BTL’s and AED make my life slightly easier every day I cannot thank you guys enough. And with the new year coming up on us who knows what we are going to be expecting but one thing is sure, that we will take it like we did this year. In our own and with a stride to our walk. We have come a long way and with this impressive fill that has been truly awesome to work with. As always I appreciate all your effort and time, and am honoured to be able to work with each of you as the Quaestor of House Galeres. Keep driving hard people!

Atyriu: Every time I sit down with Stu to write one of these reports, I’m just a little more amazed, and quite a lot more grateful, to be one of your leaders. You all never cease to put your best forward, to be an active, present part of this little family, and to maintain that excellence is, in fact, a continuous behavior, a habit, not just something you can claim once. I’m proud of all of you, and proud to be one of you: not just a member of Galeres, but an Arconan. Brilliant, everyone. Just brilliant.

Signed:

Cethgus Tiberius Entar Arconae - Quaestor of House Galeres Atyriu Caesus Entar - Aedile Entar
