In Orbit Around Begeren
Aabsdu Dupar sat at his desk, listening to the small holographic projection of Tra’an di Plagia Reith before him as the recently elevated former Quaestor updated him on Plagueis’ advances and failures in the Brotherhood conquest of Begeren. Newly drafted Proconsul Koth Rai’Hakk sat opposite the Consul, keen not to overstep his young role in the clan.
Clan Plagueis was fighting admirably on Begeren, defeating many One Sith and Brotherhood foes as they scavenged for relics. Many of these hidden treasures would find themselves en route to the Grand Master, but Aabsdu had already selected a handful to remain in his possession. Yet there were losses as well; Plagueians struck down because of fatigue and weariness. The Crusade’s end goal, the capture of Korriban from the One Sith, seemed closer than ever yet increasingly out of reach. Aabsdu’s optimism was strengthened from his conversations with the Dark Council, but his members were not privy to such information.
“...and the Southern Ridge is all but gone, my Lord. Quaestor Ramar removed his forces to the east,” Tra’an finished. Aabsdu was silent, thinking, considering his options both for Plagueis and the ever fragile Brotherhood.
“If I may proffer an opinion,” Koth spoke up. Aabsdu nodded his consent and the man continued, “Death, destruction, these are glorious achievements in the short term, but endless carnage proves tiresome, troublesome. We sack planets yet do not own them, nor do we want to.”
“This is true,” Tra’an interjected, “Our exile from Kapsina was a heavy one, but when we discovered the Anchorage we saw the benefits of consolidation.”
“We are in agreement,” Aabsdu said, “but we also must sustain ourselves. The Grand Master has little use for houses and clans unable to protect themselves, feed themselves, arm themselves.”
Tra’an continued, “Homeless and adrift, cut off from the Brotherhood, we turned to the teachings of Darth Plagueis and his machinations of control from the shadows.”
“One doesn’t need a planet to run an empire,” Koth concluded.
Aabsdu smiled. He smiled at the wisdom of his clansmen, at the cunning of the di Plagia and the experience of his summit. He also smiled because he was thinking, pondering his options for the clan and...only the clan. Plagueis had served at the Council’s behest for well over a year. The time had come for it to stake its own claims across the galaxy.
“Continue your advances planetside, Master Reith,” he finally said, “Send word for Quaestors Ramar and Kz’set to return to the Transcendent.”
The hologram of Tra’an bowed and disappeared as the Dark Adept turned to his Proconsul, his smile becoming a grin, “Our people demand conquest. Not only conquest. Control. Let’s see which of them wants it more.”
This has been a pretty busy month for Plagueis and Ajunta Pall behind the scenes working on various projects. A lot of people have been spending a majority of their time dedicated to their ACC matches which have been great!
I'd first like to congratulate Tra'an Reith on his ascension into the ranks of the di Plagia. I can state for a fact that this is a perfect example of a very well earned di Plagia title after years of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. I'd also like to congratulate Ajunta Pall's own, Taranae Rhode, on her promotion to Rollmaster. I have no doubt she will be an integral part of Plagueis from this time forward. A bit closer to home, I'd also like to congratulate Marduus on his ascension to the position of our training battleteam, the Disciples of Dreypa. We're attempting a new program of sorts where we want to periodically swap out the battleteam leader with younger, less experienced journeymen to give them an opportunity to get some leadership time in. They will usually be supplemented by someone more experienced as their battleteam sergeant; in this case it will be Ophelia. I'd also like to give a warm welcome to Braecen who has just transferred back in from the Rogues to Ajunta Pall.
And of course the numerous Clusters of Fire that our members pump out each month, to which I prefer not to have to count up for each person. =P Yeah… we do a lot of gaming.
As you can probably tell from the opening fiction there is an upcoming Clan-wide vendetta we're going to be running. This has been in the planning for about four months now and we have been hard at work the past few weeks to get this thing together to become a reality.
We also currently have some competitions going on which are pretty fun ideas:
