Greetings and Sithutations!

No sooner do I get settled in as Aedile, and now I’m Quaestor.  How exciting!  Seriously, it’s a big responsibility and Quaestor Montte left some rather large beskar boots to fill.  I hope to do at least as good a job and with your help lead our House to a happy and prosperous future.

A quick announcement before we get to the rest of the official stuff:

ACO Dylan Martin resigned from Battleteam Leader of Stingray Squadron.  I’ve spoken with Dylan at length and support his decision.  He’ll remain a Battleteam Member.  Until we find another leader for Stingray, please report directly to me.

EH News:

Grand Admiral Cyric resigned as Fleet Commander.  He is replaced by Grand Admiral Rapier and our own former MAA, Sector Admiral Havok, is now XO of the entire Emperor’s Hammer!

DB News:

Krath Pontifex Montte is now the Master At Arms!  GM Havok left the position to assume the XO spot, but retains a Praetor position on the Dark Council.

SBM Tuba (Me!) is the new Quaestor of House Drakonan!  Expect a short fiction story soon regarding our change of command.

DIE Beta Testing is about to begin!  We have our beta testers’ character sheets and will conduct the duels in a designated sub-forum of the Message Boards.  Once it’s set up, I’ll post the link so everyone can see the action!

TOR continues marching toward the New Year’s Eve release date.  Watch the Eternity Vault operation video here: http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/eternity-vault-developer-walkthrough

Competitions!

Following the Trail:  Okay folks it’s time for a fiction contest!  The competition will run until September 4^th and the concept is for you to write the next piece of our Dark Brotherhood plotline. There are a few details you’ll need to include: The contact is extremely wealthy and vacationing at a resort on Naboo. He displays Coruscanti speech patterns so he’s either a native or has lived there for some time.  This person will have information leading us to a name and company ( a large bank) based on Coruscant that was instrumental in facilitating the attack on Aurora. No more details than that (Those details will be revealed in the next run on.) You’ll have use of the Corvette Greed (though you’ll be able to give it a temporary new name) and be posing as one of the galaxy’s wealthy elite.  Other than that everything else is up to you.  You CAN use your lightsabers here so have fun with any fights you may write in, just keep[ in mind the information comes first. Oh and the standard fiction rules apply. (i.e. keep to canon, no powerful artifacts popping up, etc.)

Send all entries to MAA Montte at ascottcampbell7@aol.com, but please CC me so I know you entered!

That’s all for the first report folks.  Don’t forget to write 1-10 pages for the Following the Trail competition.  It’s your chance to craft the next chapter of not only DB History, but the EH plot as well.  If you’re worried about taking me along, don’t.  Just write me in as the comic relief or have me provide a diversion or something.  Bonus points to whomever writes me as enjoying umbrella drinks on the beach!

Keep it Sithy.
