Altera Station

1830 Hours

Yridia II

A pair of TIE Interceptors from Hoplite Squadron began their turn to a new waypoint not far from the station. Two of the four fighters currently assigned CAP duty. Essentially on station in case of sudden intruder were to arrive they would be able to take immediate action until the rest of the squadrons stationed onboard could launch and for Altera Station defenses to be brought online. Hades stands in silence watching the two fighters go about their patrol. He smiles as he remembers his time in a TIE Interceptor, back during his days with the Empire. The feeling of being a part of something so much bigger than yourself. How much he loved serving, especially the 6 months he spent on the Executor after the Battle of Hoth.

Unfortunately, his mind continues its stroll down memory lane. His happiness at being transferred to his adopted father's (a Moff of a small sector in the Outer Rim) command and his joy at being able to help conduct long range tests of the new TIE Defender months later. Then, the horror of returning from a hyperspace test to find his father's small fleet under siege by a larger Rebel fleet. Finally, his father's well wishes as he transferred coordinates to, what he would later find out to be the location of the Emperor's Hammer territories, and the final goodbye as his Star Destroyer exploded into a million pieces.

Hades lowers his chin to his chest for a moment before raising it and stepping away from the viewport. He must finish his preparations to return to Dathomir. The creature he ran into recently had the essence of his long thought dead mother. Hades knows whatever it was came into contact with her, and recently. Now he has a singular purpose. Find her.

============================================

Order of the Trident,

Starting now you will be hearing a lot more from your leadership. I won't bore you with details about my personal life, but the summit is aware and I'm working thru it. By next weekend I will have sent each one of you a personal email to touch base. We need to get back on track and getting to know one another is a great way to start. The next would be activity. There is a LOT of comps out there right now just begging to be won and or placed in. We are the only invite-only group within Tarentum and we need to act like it. Only the best can be invited, so let's make sure we live up to that honor.

As far as comps there are two by yours truly. First the Battle Plan comp. There were ZERO entries so I extended it until the end of this month. This comp is also clan wide so out of 60ish members I should see a lot more by the time it closes, especially from OoT members. It is a TIMED competition. So do not subscribe unless you are ready to rock and roll right then. (It can be found here: https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/10118 )

The next is a comp that should be approved very soon. This comp is to design my report graphics. The winner will have their work spammed in front of the clan's faces and that of the larger Brotherhood (if someone so chooses to read my reports). I will send out a quick email to everyone once it's approved.

The March to Dathomir comp is still running, it can be found here: https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/10022

There are a LOT of easy and not to easy (but with bragging rights) comps to keep your villainous hands busy. I will be doing my best to enter as many as I can before the end. I do not want to be the only OoT member to do so. There is a lot of opportunities if you want them. It's easy to do.

The last thing I wanted to say is that this entire BT has a lot of room to grow with the help of each and every one of you. This team has the ability to be the best of the best. I know we can do it, but it's something we all have to work for.

Membership:

Unfortunately, Archean has went AWOL. Let's hope this is just an oopsie on his part and that he realizes his mistake.

That wraps it up for me for now. Expect to hear from me soon. And there is a lot more to come!
