House Galthain of Clan Satal Keto

Quaestor: Battlemaster Pyralis

Aedile: Dark Jedi Knight Bobxavi

November 9th, 2002

Dawn was quick approaching. Pyralis and Bobxavi sat atop a high plateau overlooking the clan headquarters and the western sky. Their eyes were closed, sensing the imminent rising of their sun. The air was chilled, but they did not notice it in deep meditation.

The rising light illuminated the goings-on far below them. Battlelord Darkonian directed the brilliant apprentices in training through their morning activities. The first signs of life on Desalmado were becoming apparent.

::suddenly, there was a blast of warm energy on their faces:: Bobxavi smiled, feeling the powerful sensation of the Lyarna sun.

"The dawn of a new day has come DJK Bobxavi, are you ready?" Pyralis asked.

I've only had a little participation so far, so, hopefully the weekend will cash in a few more pilot files!

Open Challenge

As outlined by DJK DarkHawk:

What is the House Open Challenge? This is where any member of the house can challenge ANY another member to a Single player (Free Missions) match of the challengers choice. The person who is challenged cannot decline, (unless there is a highly valid reason as to why they cannot accept and must be approved by the house) and must accept the challenge. Any and all platforms can be used, XwA, Xvt/BoP, TIE. Since not all members own all three platforms, the challenger must pick from all three platfroms, and we will use SMB Pyralis's percentage system to grade it.

All challenges must be cced to your CMDR's and the House. After a challenge is made you have 5 days to complete the mission. Send your files in to DJK Bobxavi, and SBM Pyralis, along with your CMDR. Challenges can start as of today.

So there it is simple easy and allot of fun. I would have to assume that the winners of each challenge will have their name in lights within the House report each week. So fire up those Ions and set your sites on another member. Good Luck.....and may the challenges begin.

Any questions please contact DJK DarkHawk or DJK Bobxavi and SBM Pyralis.

House Galthain versus House Tridens of Tarentum

I've still been speaking with QUA of Tridens: Mukrow Defender about the competition. We have agreed the competition will include at least Single Player and there will be one free mission from each platform assigned. People can submit to all of the game platforms if they want, but only the highest % score will count. MP has not been decided yet - and since I haven't received input from Galthain, we may not be doing multiplayer. The competition will start sometime in the middle of next week. Keep your heads up and send any suggestions for this competition to myself and DJK Bobxavi!

May darkness guide you...
