Late, yes, and I apologize. This week just slipped away from me.

1 - GoA's will not bear the TIE Corps rank at the top BY REQUEST. If you want to remove your TIE Corps rank you need to ask. Send requests to my Magistrate, [Log in to view e-mail addresses].

2 - Speaking of Mejas, I'd like to publicly thank him for all his work in the HRLD office as of late, and congratulate him for attaining CON of Arcona. Good work!

3 - Custom and other lightsabers are in dispute. There are a couple issues I want to bring forth, and you can help.

• Should the Alvaak saber be destroyed? It was Ronin's lightsaber that was the custom standard issue available for DJK of Alvaak. If you are confused about what the Alvaak saber is, check the Custom Lightsaber Guide (CLSG) on the HRLD Site. I have thrown up a poll on what should be done.

• If it stays, should EACH clan get their own Custom Saber?

4 - Banners. Here is a synopsis:

I talked with someone online (please come forward so I can give you credit) about the possibility of Clan Banners, similar to warbanners used by Vikings, the Japanese, and other warring groups. The influence was lifted in part from an RPG. These banners would be a GoA of sorts to represent the clan. I am aware that one clan already has one. This may replace that.

What I would like to do is establish a symbol for each clan, or even go so far as each house, and create the entire series of them at once. If this person would contact me as soon as possible so we can begin this, I would appreciate it.

5 - My thoughts and position on the recent seperation has been an issue as of late. Let me set the record straight.

I am for the Dark Brotherhood. The TIE Corps has nothing to offer me, and I have been on unstable grounds with the TC for about 4 years now. I hold the rank of Admiral, and apprently I can only get Command Attaché or other support positions. One such position I held I was removed "for inactivity" even though my CO never asked me to do anything. I believe he was just looking for a reason to vacate the position to elevate a friend.

Not only do I have a loathing hatred for that particular TC member, but I have not had a love for the TC since. I think it's crazy that I have a decent rank but am not allowed to take on lesser positions, like COM. AD as a COM would be about the same as a SBM as PCON.

Anyway, this is PART of my huge rant that I never got to last week.
