Competition: Great Jedi War XVII: Animus

Great Jedi War XVII: Animus

For years, The Collective has worked to destroy The Brotherhood. Led by the increasingly unhinged Rath Oligard, they have led attacks on Brotherhood space again and again. Now, their home has been discovered, the Cor’neria System. The time has come for the Brotherhood to press the assault against their long standing enemy. The deep and long gestating animus between these two factions has reached its inevitable conclusion. Peace is impossible, one must end.

Animus is a Dark Jedi Brotherhood Vendetta Event, running from May 23rd to June 27th.

Event Phases

• An Event Long Phase will run the entire duration of the Great Jedi War
• Phase I of the Great Jedi War runs from May 23rd until June 6th
• A “Rest” Week will occur from June 7th until June 12th
• Phase II of the Great Jedi War runs from June 13th until June 27th

Participation

Competitions within each Phase are organized into categories known as “Bins.” Each Bin represents a specific type of competition, allowing members to contribute across a variety of activities throughout the event.

The first time a member participates in a competition within a particular Bin during a Phase, they will earn the participation points associated with that Bin for their team. Additional entries within the same Bin are still encouraged and can earn placement rewards, but they will not grant additional participation points for that Bin.

Members can also earn bonus participation points by achieving full participation within a Phase. This is accomplished by entering at least one competition in every available Bin during that Phase.

The bonus participation structure is as follows:

• Phase I: +5 bonus participation points for completing all Bins
• Phase II: +5 bonus participation points for completing all Bins
• Event Long Phase: +7 bonus participation points for completing all Bins

In addition to participation scoring, individual competitions will continue to award standard event rewards, including Seals and Credits for participation.

Competitive placements will also be rewarded:

• Members placing in the top three of a competition will earn Novae
• Members placing within the top ten in most competitions will earn placement points toward their Clan’s overall score
• Members placing 4th through 10th will additionally receive Crescents, ranging from:
  • Diamond Crescent for 4th place
  • Through to Quartz Crescent for 10th place

Whether members choose to focus on a few competitions or participate across every Bin, every contribution will help strengthen their Clan’s overall standing throughout the vendetta.

Placement and Hero Titles

Clans earn points throughout the event in two primary ways: through member participation and through competitive placements.

Participation points are awarded when members enter competitions across the various competition types, or “Bins,” available during each Phase. Additional points are earned when members place highly in competitions, rewarding both broad participation and competitive performance.

In accordance with Brotherhood Vendetta regulations, the Clan with the highest overall point total at the conclusion of Great Jedi War XVII will be declared the First Clan of the Brotherhood. The Clans finishing with the second and third highest scores will be awarded the titles of Second Clan and Third Clan of the Brotherhood, respectively.

On the individual level, the three members who accumulate the highest overall point totals during Great Jedi War XVII will be awarded prestigious War Hero titles in recognition of their performance and contributions throughout the event.

In the event of a tie in overall individual scoring, rankings will be determined using an Olympic-style tiebreaking system based on Novae earned and overall placement performance across competitions.

Specific rules, scoring criteria, and placement details for each individual competition will be outlined within that competition’s description. Competition details will also note the relative weighting and scoring impact of placements for that particular event.
