GJW XV: Ascension

During the explosive conflict on Dandoran, a mysterious new group unleashed chaos and destruction on the Severian Principate, Tenixir Revenants, and the Brotherhood forces aiding them. Wielding previously unseen powers, the enigmatic Seer and her crystal monstrosities vanished as quickly as they’d arrived, leaving the Brotherhood with little understanding of their purpose or true strength. In the ensuing months, the Grand Master organized a clandestine research program, searching out and retrieving the Force-attuned crystals that seem to lie at the heart of the new threat. The Clans have been provided allotments of crystals, in secret, to try and divine their power and possible applications.

But the enemy has not remained idle. The Children of Mortis have purged their ranks of erstwhile spies and, unknown to the Brotherhood, developed an insidious new method of crystal-infused ascension. Seizing an opportunity, the Children have launched a surprise assault on the capital systems of all seven Clans. In the vanguard, impossible Force-twisted abominations and gravity-defying crystal asteroids have established beachheads in each system. Still reeling from the Collective’s near-destruction of Arx, the forces of the Dark Council are unable to respond in strength. For now, the Clans are on their own.

Ascension is a Dark Brotherhood Vendetta Event, running from May 28th to July 6th.

Event Phases

• Phase I of the Great Jedi War runs from May 28 until June 12
• Phase II of the Great Jedi War runs from June 19 until July 6

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 5 participation points for completing all bins in a phase, while the Event Long Phase will grant an additional 7 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.

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 XV 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 XV 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.
