The tactical operations room aboard the Retribution was quiet, yet seemed overwhelmed with hushed sounds from a dozen different sources. Officers spoke quietly into comlinks, alerts beeped quietly in sync with corresponding blinking lights, and the energy of the ship hummed around the chamber.
To the current commanding officer, it was like a safe cocoon in the heart of the ship, but he knew the troops on the ground - clone, infantry, and Dark Jedi alike - must be going through hell. They had overwhelming force to bring to bear to finally complete the world's liberation and put it firmly back in control of Naga Sadow and their rapidly stablizing Orian Assembly.
"Status report," the officer demanded of no one in particular. The answer was a series of short, summarized reports. All was moving according to plan. Their campaign here would be swift and just. It would need to be; other threats loomed on the horizon.
Hey everyone! I haven't done one of these in awhile. It's been like, whole two months! I hope you didn't notice.
Anyway, I'm not offering any excuse or anything, but I have been having a fun summer.
This will be kind of short, and cover recent House member accomplishments, a tad bit of news, and then a listing of current competitions. That last I may have to offer another update on in, like, a week, so stay tuned.
So right now, you've probably noticed we're in the middle of conquering Seng Karash and re-establishing full control of Aeotheran. Woot! The Runon is really active so far, and that's great to see. It's fun to have everyone involved in such a thing. There's also some competitions associated with it, which I will list in that section.
In other news, there's been a change up to the Battleteams. John Dragoon has taken over command of Devil's Shroud, and Dakhani Solutions has unfortunately been closed due to lack of interest. It was a pretty cool deal, and I hope we can keep it as a part of our House fiction until the time when it may have a chance to shine again, but for now it is a deactivated Battleteam. Sad day.
On the bright side, this means our full attention will fall on Devil's Shroud! (That's a good thing.)
Oh dear. I feel like I'm going to miss something here because my inbox has been blitzed by Shadow Academy course completions and promotion emails. That's a good thing, so I guess I can't feel too bad, but still, I strive to include everything. If I missed you, I apologize in advance!

Holy crap, that's a lot of SA courses! Some of you aren't even Krath, but you sure seem to love studying as much as we do!
Or maybe you just like knowledge. Because hey, knowledge is cool. Now I sound like a teacher. Anyway...I'd also like to specifically call out Daedric on his Dark Cross, which is awesome, and Rosh and Methyas for their Scrolls of Foundation. And everyone else, honestly, that is a ton of SA courses, nice job!
So you completed a ton of SA courses, and Dragoon got a Crescent. You may be asking "Hey! How do I get those?"
Well, you do competitions, and place in them, which isn't that hard. Plus they're a great test of some ability and often pretty fun as well. Here's a listing of active ones right now that pertain to us, with the oldest (and probably soonest to end) listed first:
[Tales] Heart of the Forest (Fiction)
Assault on the Shadow Academy (Other)
The tie that binds (Fiction)
Monthly Mobile Gaming: Akinator (Single-player Gaming)
White Lies (Fiction)
Assassins (Fiction)
Pazaak Tournament (Multiplayer Gaming)
Darth Ansel (Design)
Monthly Mobile Gaming: StacO BONUS COMPETITION (Single-player Gaming)
Monthly Mobile Gaming: StackO (Single-player Gaming)
Invasion Aeotheran: Planetary Assault (Single-player Gaming)
Invasion: Aeotheran - Design the Gomorag (Fiction)
Ballad of Aeotheran (Poetry)
[Odan-Urr] Takes of the Jedi (Fiction)
Blood and Glory, Round 1 (Fiction)
That is a lot of competitions to do, both within the Clan only and the entire club, with a wide ranging amount of different types. Go forth and conquer, warriors of Shar Dakhan!
That's it for this report. I think next time, if this gets to be a weekly thing, I'll focus on one competition each week to talk about briefly, while still listing the others. That might work especially well if these multi-stage competitions become more popular.
Feel free to comment on that idea.
Until next time...
