Greetings Members of the Clan Drakonan.
The medals corresponding to the Clan competitions have already been awarded in their entirety, highlighting the medals Silver Nova by SK John T Clark, Bronze Nova by DSP Pellaeon, Silver Nova by PRT Sparky and Bronze Nova by PRT Jarion Renalds. Excellent work!
The Clan MSE for December is now complete and most of the medals have already been awarded. On this occasion, it was also necessary to deliver large medals in recognition of the extraordinary service that some members of the DB gave to their Clan, for which some medals rose in level. Congratulations!
Also remember that Hyperion's BTL position is open to applications. As a main requirement it is required that you be an active Star trek Online player. Those who are interested send their applications to GM Tomaas Montte, DGM/DSP Elwood the Brave and MAA/SWL Miles Prower, with a copy to CON/SBM Earnim Branet.
The Rise of Kylo Ren #2 Review
Ben Solo’s past as Luke Skywalker’s apprentice collides with his present as he searches for the Knights of Ren in The Rise of Kylo Ren #2.
Writer: Charles Soule | Artist: Will Sliney | Colorist: Guru-eFX | Letterer: VC’s Travis Lanham | Cover Artist: Clayton Crain | Assistant Editor: Tom Groneman | Editor: Mark Paniccia
The Rise of Kylo Ren #2 continues the dramatic history of Ben Solo’s flight from the light side of the Force towards the dark side and the mantle of leader of the Knights of Ren. The story commenced in The Rise of Kylo Ren #1 with Ben’s escape from the Jedi temple after the unfortunate confrontation with Luke seen in The Last Jedi. Now, in the follow up issue, Ben seeks additional guidance from Snoke about his future. Along the way, the role of legends becomes an issue as Charles Soule paints a picture of Ben’s tragic past.
Embracing Your Nature
Snoke is playing a careful long game with Ben in The Rise of Kylo Ren #2. It is clear that Snoke’s goal is for Ben to embrace the dark side of the Force. So, Snoke uses any opportunity to encourage Ben, but he never strongly pushes him in the direction. Instead, Snoke uses Ben’s own curiosity against him. For instance, Snoke asks Ben whether he likes the oasis (the space station the are on). Ben’s response is that it is interesting. Snoke then uses the opportunity to explain that the oasis was meant as a point of light to hold back the dark. However, the creators were consumed by the dark and died. Snoke’s lesson is that this is what happens to those that deny the true nature of things.

Pimp the Fleets V9.0
Start Date: January 1, 2021
End Date: December 31, 2021
Groups involved: All STO playing DB members
Awards: Cr-Q - Cr-D monthly - BN - GN and Cr-E - Cr-D annual
Description:
Every month I will calculate the donations every DB member did to the EH ingame fleets in STO. With those donation points I will built up rankinglists for each fleet section and an overall rankinglist for each fleet. Awards will be Cr-E for first, Cr-T for second and Cr-Q for third in each section, Cr-A for first, Cr-S for second and Cr-E for third overall in each fleet.
At the end of the year, based on the amount of donations, there will be an annual rankinglist for each section and one for each fleet. Annual awards for each section will be Cr-A/Cr-S/Cr-E for 1st/2nd/3rd, for the winners in each fleet Cr-D/Cr-R/Cr-A for 1st/2nd/3rd.
To better compare the monthly donations to both fleets, the participants will earn overall points for placement in the section ranking lists, 4 points for first, 3 points for second, 2 points for third and 1 point for all other participants in that section. These overall points will be summed up for each member and a ranking list based on these will be used to crown the overall winner for the month. First place in that ranking list will receive the prestigious Cr-D, second a Cr-R, third a Cr-A.
These donation points will be summed up and put into a rankinglist at the end of the year. The annual winner in this rankinglist will receive a Gold Nova, the second placed a Silver Nova and third a Bronze Nova.

CLAN ROSTER
|
|
Hyperion Flight Battle Team
The members of Hyperion are great Captains, accustomed to traveling through Galaxies aboard of all types of ships, whether scientific, exploration or combat. Of vocation of explorers, they are also formidable warriors when the situation requires it, capable of leading battle teams in any situation of crisis that may arise. The adventure is his north, and the recklessness his condition of life.
|
Stingray Battle Team
"Flying is for droids", said a well-known Jedi every time he had to maneuver a battle ship in battle. That will be fine for the Jedi, but not for the Sith. A Sith is able to fly any type of combat ship in any situation, and lose his life in it if is necessary. The members of Stingray are excellent pilots, reckless and lethal. They stand out in training battles as well as in life and death battles. That is your lifestyle, and your combat ship, your home.
|
Sentinel Battle Team
Air, land, sea or space. Any environment is acceptable to these warriors and explorers. They can be excellent foot soldiers, like great admirals in command of large armies, with excellent tactical and strategy sense, or excellent overall vision to manage large navies. As an individual soldier or in command of a battle group, nothing stops them. A member of Sentinel can be what he want, or take any role that the situation requires.

Get Your Own Star Wars™: Squadrons Inspired Mount!
Since Star Wars™: Squadrons launched on October 1st, we’ve been piloting our favorite ships non-stop! As a special congratulations to the Squadrons team, alongside their launch we gave everyone who logged into Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ their very own mini-pet inspired by Vanguard Squadron. Well… why stop there? We worked side-by-side with our friends at Motive to do something a little different, like giving players rewards in both games!
First, let’s talk about The Old Republic. Last time, we gave you a remote controlled mini-pet inspired by Vanguard Squadron just for logging in. Now, we’re stepping things up a bit. Simply redeem the code SQUADRONS on your account at www.swtor.com/redeem-code to receive your very own starship mount inspired by Vanguard Squadron! The Corellian Stardrive Vanguard Mount will move you around The Old Republic with a dash of that Vanguard Squadron flair. Act quickly, as this code will only be active for two weeks, from January 14th - January 28th, 2021 (at 9AM PST respectively).
More information here: https://www.swtor.com/info/news/article/20210114 |
   
The idea is that those who play SWTOR send their information of their characters to my e-mail to complete their data and thus be able to perform some activity in the future.

3D Print Ships from Star Trek: Discovery!
We're continuing our partnership with Gameprint to bring you the ability to 3D print your personal starship, as a wonderful ornament for your desk, display case, bed - we don't judge.

We're happy to announce that this restriction is now lifted! Any of the amazing, canon ships we've added from Discovery are available to be printed right now, with your custom markings, vanity shields, and ship name!

Get 12 Inventory Slots, Free!
Eleven years. For a live service game like Star Trek Online, that kind of longevity is unheard of within the industry. And yet we just keep moving forward, thanks entirely to you.

As is now tradition, as we lead up to our Anniversary Update, we'll be showing our appreciation with a series of free gifts that you can claim!
From January 23rd at 10am PT (19:00 CET) - January 24th at 10am PT (19:00 CET), you can claim 12 Inventory Slots from the Promotions Tab of the Zen Store, once per account, for free!

11th Anniversary Event!
As Star Trek Online rounds out the eleventh year of its tour in the Star Trek universe, we are pleased to kick off the festivities for our Anniversary Celebration starting on PC on January 26th, 2021 and continuing until February 25th, 2021.
(Console dates will be announced at a later date.)
All of the usual activities will contribute toward your Daily Progress in the Event, eventually earning your way toward the Grand Prize – a Tier 6 Ship!
Keep reading to reveal what activities and prizes await those who join us to celebrate the 11th Anniversary.
Event Grand Prize – Temer Class Alliance Raider (T6)
Similar to the Khitomer-class Battlecruiser, the Alliance Raider blends technology of Alliance members. In this case, Romulan and Klingon technology combine to deliver a fast and powerful escort vessel capable of outmaneuvering and outgunning the enemy. Complete details on this cross-faction vessel will be released in the near future, so stay tuned!

The Klingon Empire is Recruiting
The Klingon Empire is divided, and true-hearted warriors are needed to ensure a glorious future. All Klingons worthy of the name must join the fight!
Both sides of the divide in the Empire have redoubled their recruiting efforts, and from the shadows the most promising are redirected to a new path. New Klingon Captains will be known as Klingon Recruits, and they bring with them the backing of their shadowy patron. With the launch of the Anniversary Update, the Klingon Starting Experience will be completely reimagined, meaning that these Recruits will also have a completely reworked, modern starting story.
There will never be a better time to make a Klingon in Star Trek Online than during the Klingon Recruitment event, which runs from January 26th to February 25th. Characters made during this time will be Klingon Recruits, and they will earn a host of new benefits and rewards to aid them in their leveling experience.

Command Any Ship
It’s like Shaka all over again – walls falling all over the place!
With the release of Star Trek Online’s 11th Anniversary update, we are releasing a feature that will allow players of all factions to fly the starship of their choice, regardless of the default allegiance associated with that ship.
Does this mean a KDF Dahar Master can finally command a Section 31 Command Heavy Battlecruiser? It certainly does!
Does this mean a dedicated Federation Admiral can now sit at the helm of a D4x Kelvin Pilot Bird-of-Prey? That’s true, as well!
Read on to learn what you can do to unlock this new account-wide feature!
True to the Empire
Access to this game-changing feature will be automatically granted to any and all accounts that have a character that reaches Level 65 as a member of the Klingon Defense Force. Species is unimportant, so long as that captain began his or her career aboard a Klingon vessel, even if they are Gorn, Orion, Nausicaan, or any of the other citizens of the modern Klingon Empire that don’t call Qo’noS their homeworld.
