The low, continuous hum of the electronics echoed the halls of Dusk Station. The banners of Arcona and Dark Forge were not in their usual wave motion. Instead, deep inside the hangar bay of the the main docking station, lines of Arconan troopers carved an aisle directly through the centre of the bay. Near the environmental shield and on a podium, Lexiconus stood with the veteran Captain Bly and several other Dark Jedi.

Grunting and foot shuffles surrounded the absence of sound in the hangar and a group of well-respected Jedi were led inside by K’tana and Kyrun. Donblas, the youngest of the group, followed behind the struggling members and clutched his Sith armoury lightsaber tightly. Once he had arrived at the podium, Lexiconus coughed and caught the attention of the four-hundred strong crowd. First he motioned for the Neti to be brought forward.

“Mr. Bnar, your actions in the war have caused depression and desperate measures to rise against Dark Forge. Although your allegiance has always been with Lyspair, your clear tolerance with the rebels and that Arconae family have brought you to high priority. You will commit your time to the White-collar level. There, you will be furthest away from any other prisoner but always in our sight.” With that, the Neti was yanked back and had an electronic collar cuffed to his neck, then escorted away.

Next was a much harder sentence, that of an old friend. He motioned the short female Human forward and looked at her with saddened eyes.

“Ms. Ortega, it has come to my attention that your personal relationships and acts of treason were the sole reason of how Andrelious found Cethgus and Valtiere. I will not accept your apologies, or your presence in this station again. You are hereby exiled to join your traitorous friend in Soulfire, and to never return to our borders. Your ship will be shot out of the sky on sight.” Saskia, without a second notion turned and skipped away with two Arconan soldiers following behind and holding her chain.

Next was the hardest consequence of them all, to commit a new member and a rising commander. With a soft nod of his head, the Togruta motioned for the last male Human in cuffs to step forward.

“Mr. Karthdo, words cannot describe the awful acts you have done to this Clan. You turned against your comrades, your Clan, and even your own student. The treason and sheer unrespected notions committed by your bloody hands are nothing short of heresy. Sadly your actions also reflect onto me as my second-in-command you represent me on any battlefield. So it has come to a decision through Captain Bly and myself, to place you into solitary confinement for the duration of this year. Your Sergeant status is suspended.”

With a soft motion of his hand, Lexiconus directed the guards to lead the last convict away, and dismissed everyone the grim hangar.

Welcome Arconans to another glorious Dark Forge newsletter. It has happened. It has been and gone. The Operation: Figureheads concluded just a few days ago and the greatest side clearly won. I salute everyone that took part and all who supported the fighting members. I’ll try to keep this short and simple, as a lot of change is going on in the Clan.

Good news though! We have two new members into the Arconan Summit; Sight as RM, and Turel as HQD AED. Congratulations guys! To all else who did apply I just want to give a few carefully constructed words; you are worth it. If you applied and felt eager that you surely would get a chance at the summit, then consider yourself capable of doing so. Many members throughout their lives here build their confidence through activity, their intelligence through time, and their courage through being relentless. To show that you are interested, you are capable of making a decent application , and to show that you can truly wow the reader. In my eyes it says you are ready to lead one day, we all have our day and the future is ours.

ATTENTION

As an urgent matter for myself, if anyone has contact with or has recently spoken to Donblas, could you please inform him that he needs to sign back into the website. My Character Sheet may say otherwise, but I’ll never leave a man (or woman) behind. Every good deed builds character, friends.

On a personal note, I have moved out of the parent’s home and into my University abode, it is quaint, quiet and luxurious but i’m sure several days drinking, studying and ripping my hair out will bring it back to normal levels. I have not forgotten your zoo photos, so await them shortly. Until next time, enjoy September!
