An Introduction, and Address

Opening Fiction

---

Vincent expertly guided the small shuttle through New Tython’s atmosphere. In the co-pilot seat Lilly Nortor sat absentmindedly glancing at the ship’s controls as she polished the viewport on her Mandalorian helmet. Behind the two sat The former Krath, his emerald eyes scanning over various reports on one of his datapads.

“Sir, we have landing clearance for the pad behind the Jedi Citadel,” Vincent paused as he pressed a finger against a headset in order to hear the transmission better.

“Understood, making final approach from the north now, touch down planet side will be in T minus two minutes.” The Mandalorian pilot spoke into the communication system. Outside the shuttle, clouds broke away to reveal a lush green landscape.

“Oh this is quite the beautiful planet,” Lilly commented as she rose from her seat, strapping several blasters and other weapons to herself. The young womans blue eyes looked to her master as the Savant set the datapad down upon a rather sizable stack of them.

“Beautiful it may be, hopefully living in such a place will not have dulled the edge of these, Jedi,” he spoke the word slowly as he pondered what would be waiting for them on New Tython. An old contact had reached out to the former Krath asking him to come give assistance to the Jedi. To leave his clan and follow the footsteps his dead brother, Sight Nortorshin. He was unsure yet if this was a wise move, however Lilly had seemed to trust the man and that was good enough for Mako.

With a hushed clank the shuttle set down on the landing pad. A hiss erupted from the rear of the craft, denoting the boarding ramp being deploying.

“Vincent, gather the rest of the gear and meet us in our quarters,” the new Quaestor said as he clipped his lightsaber, Frozen Time, to his belt.

On the landing pad Turel Sorenn waited, one hand on his own lightsaber. His own doubts about the former Arconan foremost in the Ranger’s mind. Mako Henymory merely raised a brow upon seeing the Proconsul.

“I hope your request for me to join your, Clan, will not make me regret my decision to trust Lilly.”

“I hope you don’t prove to be my downfall.”

“TUREL,” Lilly screeched loud enough to hurt the ears of both men as she rushed forward to give the Jedi a hug.

“It has been too long, why didn’t you ever send a communication?” The young woman asked of the Proconsul as the three walked side by side into the Temple.

A Hello From Your Quaestor

Greetings Satele Shan, Odan-Urr, and any outsiders who have found themselves reading this. I am Mako Henymory, your new Quaestor. I will try to keep this short as it is not an actual report but more of a meet and greet. The lack of banners and such will be addressed soon so fear not, my reports will look much better moving forward. The purpose behind me writing this is two fold. First so those who do not know me already can get know me a bit better and those who already know me can get re-acquainted. Secondly I want to discuss a few things about the future of the House and officially state what I expect of the house leaders. So without further ado let's dive in.

As I said above I am Mako Henymory, I was once known as Sight Nortorshin. I spent roughly a year and a half in House Odan-Urr and left for my first home, Arcona, roughly 2 years ago. During my time in Odan-Urr I obtained my Knighthood and was the Battle Team Leader of Ooroo for several months. I also was one of the first Battle Team members for the then freshly created Disciples of Baas, Odan-Urr also became my home. When I was in Arcona I spent a very successful term as clan Rollmaster and then as the Aedile of House Galeres. I am a Magistrate to the Fist and just stepped down as Battle Team Sergeant for the Nighthawk to come here.

What to Expect

With the first part accomplished already let us talk about what you really want to hear. Let us discuss House Satele Shan. The first thing we must do is address the House’s wiki page. We need to fill this out. So over the next few weeks I will start brainstorming sessions via email and Telegram with you, the house members. We need to fill out two simple things to start with. First we need to compile and write down for posting to the wiki the history of the house. Secondly we need to figure out the role of the house, what part it plays in the greater tapestry of the clan as a whole. Are we fighters, healers, mechanics, tacticians? I want each and every member of Satele to be a part of this discussion so you all can truly own what we decide. I have been in units that the fictional aspects were decided behind closed summit doors. I personally never felt a connection with the purpose of the unit when this happened. The sky is the limit and we will sit down together as a house and discuss what we want.

Expect an influx of competitions in the near future from myself and your other house leaders. I will be contacting each of you over the next few weeks to get to know you a bit better and to learn what types of activities you want to do. Myself and the other leaders are here to serve and guide you, the member. It is our job to provide things for you to participate in and as such we would love your input on what it is you like.

The Open Door

I have always, and will continue to have, an open door policy. If you have an issue or need some advice, please hit me up via email, IRC (if I am on it), or Telegram. I am always on Telegram and will get your message as I have it on my cell phone. I may be a bit delayed in replying if I am out and about as I tend to keep my mobile data turned off. Even if you don’t have any Brotherhood business to discuss with me please feel free to talk with me in chat groups or via PM if you so choose. It is my goal to get to know each and every one of you. As having a friendship with the other members in your house and clan will only strengthen our work as a unit when it comes time to perform.

To Satele Leaders

I believe in leading by example and that activity will inspire activity in others. I strive to maintain a constant level of activity myself, outside of my leadership and project work. This said I will hold the leaders of the house from Aedile to Battle Team Sergeant to a higher standard. Active leaders are the cornerstone of an active and healthy house, I expect each of my leaders to lead by example and to participate in competitions, basic activities, and most importantly run competitions for the house and clan to take part of. The Crescents must flow. Leaders of Satele Shan, what I have said in this paragraph is a hard requirement and something I take very seriously. For if you as a leader are not active and producing things for the members then you are wasting their time. We are here to serve the members and guide them. This can not be accomplished by an inactive leader. We will talk more on this and what it means to each of you as a leader in this great house soon.

Looking to the Future

So I should bring this to an end now. Expect things to come down the line soon, get thinking on what you want out of your house and what you want your house to be. I encourage you all to begin open discussion on anything you have read in this little introduction. It is time to awake from your slumber Satele Shan.

Your servant and Quaestor,

Odan is here to kick your Urr

Be wary of the stirring Satele
