"Oh masters Taldrya, I was totally unaware we were supposed to have a meeting today." Rhylance improvised. He had made plans for almost every possibility but he had never expected the bond between them to be still that intense that one of them would willingly defy a direct order from the reigning Consul in favor of their arcanic beliefs of being a Brotherhood within a Brotherhood.

"Something about this tells me you have been fully aware of this." Rian as the supposed leader of the group said.

"Excuse me Master Taldrya," The Consul stalled for time while unsheathing his blaster under the table. "but I have no clue what you are talking about."

"On behalf of every member of Taldryan we are here to request you to resign from your office as Consul of the Clan." Rian ordered while he pointed at the Consul with the tip of his lightsaber. "Do not try to refrain from this request or it will be your demise." Read the full fiction here: A rise to Power

Hello Taldryan and welcome to my second first report as Consul of Taldryan.

Moving forward

With me stepping up to the position of Consul, I would like to announce that my former Aedile Justinios Drake will be moving up to the position of Quaestor of Ektrosis. Justinios has some real great ideas that will see the indiviuality of the House moving forward while still clearly belonging to Taldryan.

However this leaves a gap in the postion of Aedile of Ektrosis, but unlike usually, we won't open applications for it but rather appoint a member as we are looking for someone with a special set of skills. For this reason I will get into contact with a couple of members within the next couple days so expect to see the position filled by the time my next report comes out.

As you can imagine with the banner above, the event is well under way and I am quite sure to have it wrapped up and ready to be launched by the time the final fiction update gets posted in the report after this one, to tease you a bit about it, it will be the largest official Clan fiction I ever wrote as it will cover our arrival at the Caelus-System and a first meeting of the Summit with the local leaders. But first there is a fiction update by our former Consul Rhylance that gives us a great view at the leaders of the Caelus-System, sorry for the delay posting it but please enjoy Consequences by Rhylance

Aboard one his his father's vessels, Drayen and his guards flew high into the sky of Kasiya. The raging seas violently swirled beneath them, as the waves crashed against each other. “Place him on the hatch, and hold him. Make sure he can’t move or get away,” Drayen said with a feral grin.

The guards, his closest friends, smiled as they knew what was coming. The pilot’s helmet had been placed back on his head as he shouted out, pleading for mercy. “Please....Please, just let me go. I’ll fly away from here, and never return. It was a mistake... we made a mistake!” “You can save it. I don't care what you have to say,” Drayen responded with a chuckle, “My father is weak. He would have given you a quick execution, hoping his show of dominance would keep the others in line. He still thinks this is the Empire of old. On the other hand, I understand that fear is what will keep them in line. Fear of my power, and how I will use it against them.” “What...I...I don’t understa.....Agh!” Drayen’s hand stretched outwards, as if reaching for something in front of him. His hazel eyes flashed with orange-yellow brightness. He could feel the Force around him as he began to clench his fingers together.

The pilot screamed as he felt the pressure of the Force around his head. He tried to break free from the guards, but he was unsuccessful. The hardened plastic helmet cracked, and began to cave in around the pilot's head with a sickening crunch. As the pilot’s screams turned from terror to pain, the grin on Drayen’s face became crazed.

In case you haven't read the previous two fiction updated by Arvalis/Kaz and Andrelious/Mark, you can find them here:

• Part 1: Mission: Errand
• Part 2: A Positive Lead

Last but not least since various members have reported that the link to the image I had attached to my last report was broken, I am using a different image hoster to provide you with the base reference image of the Alignment System.
