GJW XIV: Homefront

The Collective has finally arrived on the Brotherhood’s doorstep, and has arrived in full force. While the Grand Master prepares Arx’s defenses, and calls on the Clans of the Brotherhood and their allies for support. A full scale battle quickly erupts high above the planet’s surface below its powerful shield gate.

Conflict has finally come to the Arx system. The final outcome is guaranteed to have a lasting impact on all sides, with potential for massive loss. Your own actions will help determine the fate of the Brotherhood and its allies.

Homefront is a Dark Brotherhood Vendetta Event, running from May 30th to July 8th.

Event Phases

• Phase I of the Great Jedi War runs from May 30 until June 15
• Phase II of the Great Jedi War runs from June 20 until July 8

Participation

Competitions in each Phase are divided into competition types, or 'bins'. The first time a member participates in a competition within a Phase's bin, that member is awarded the participation points associated with that bin. In addition, members earn bonus participation points by participating in at least one competition in each bin achieving full participation for that phase.

Phase I and Phase II will each grant an additional 3 participation points for completing all bins in a phase, while the Event Long Phase will grant an additional 6 participation points for completing all bins. Individual competitions still award seals and credits, and members will earn Novae if they place in the top three and placement points for top 10 in most competitions.

Theaters and Theater Combatants

Theaters are key locations where the most intense fighting in the Arx System is occurring. The three Theaters are Nesolat Platform, Mattock Station and the Godless Matron. More detailed information on theaters are available in fiction updates and in the prompt for the Event Long run-on competition.

In addition to usage in the run-on, we have started a voluntary program called Theater Combatants. As described previously, members may volunteer one of their characters to be present at a specific Theater for the use of other writers. This is not binding to the volunteer (that is, they can write the character anywhere), and they are not bound by what is done to the character by other authors. However, writers are free to use any Theater Combatants in any encounter within a Theater they write.

Placement and Hero Titles

Clans earn points when members participate in competition types/bins and when members place in a competition. In accordance with the directives governing Vendetta Events in the Brotherhood, the Clan with the most points at the conclusion of Great Jedi War XIV will be named First Clan of the Brotherhood, while the Clan with the second and third most points will be name Second Clan and Third Clan respectively.

The top three individuals earning the most points in Great Jedi War XIV will be awarded War Hero titles. Members with tie scores will be broken following an Olympic-style Novae and placement ranking.

The rules for placement in individual sub-competitions are covered within their individual descriptions below.

The weight for placement of each competition is described within the competition.
