Blackhawk is one of Clan Plagueis' most valued members and has honestly blown me away with the sheer volume of activity he has embodied in the mere 10 months since his last promotion. He has become a definitive pillar of our unit, demonstrating a rare work ethic that seamlessly balances administrative leadership with relentless personal execution. Very few members match the operational pace Blackhawk sets, and his steady presence has provided a vital anchor for the Ascendant Clan.
On the level of institutional contribution, Blackhawk has firmly stepped up in terms of being an active producer of competitions. He has been a regular, dependable contributor to the monthly Plagueis Competition Series we've been running for our members, ensuring a steady competitive pipeline. On top of that, he acted as a key organizer for the Operation Zerek lore event last November, helping shape the future of the narrative our members fight in and created a very spooky series of Halloween-themed competitions for the club at large to enjoy. In total, his administrative footprint includes organizing or co-organizing 31 competitions over these past 10 months, directly driving the unit's regular engagement cycle.
In tandem with creating content, Blackhawk has been a fierce and relentless competitor. His personal drive spans every major facet of Brotherhood competition, including 32 Gaming, 8 Fiction, and 5 Graphics competitions. When combined with the myriad of less specialized events he has tackled, he has amassed a staggering 119 unique entries since his last promotion. This intense storm of competitive effort has yielded a consistent track record of excellence, recognized by a massive haul of Crescents that includes 2 Diamond, 3 Ruby, 8 Amethyst, 6 Sapphire, 1 Emerald, and 3 Quartz. Crucially, when the Brotherhood called during Great Jedi War XVII: Animus, Blackhawk went completely all out. He threw himself into 16 separate war events and secured a prestigious Bronze Nova for the Clan, delivering a vital, comprehensive victory with his sleek and tactical Battleplan entry.
His raw activity metrics paint the picture of a true frontline powerhouse. Blackhawk’s gaming volume alone is massive, totaling 149 matches over the last 10 months, resulting in an incredible 1,451 Clusters of Fire—averaging just under 5 clusters per day. Not one to settle for a single discipline, he has balanced his combat output with 21 Clusters of Ice, crossing multiple narrative mediums to log over 9,000 words between regular fiction, Role-playing, and Antei Combat Center participation. To round out this visual and literary blitz, his graphic designs have earned him an additional 26 Clusters of Graphite. This expansive, unyielding period of activity also saw Blackhawk rightfully awarded his first Sapphire Blade, a definitive marker of his sustained excellence and consistency within the club.
Beyond standard competitions, Blackhawk has aggressively chewed through the ranks of the club's specialized Societies, gaining levels across almost every system. Within the Grand Master's Royal Guard, he rose from Rank VII to XI, in the Inquisitorius he climbed from Rank IX to X, and in the Shroud Syndicate he advanced from Rank II to V. He has further expanded his institutional utility by gaining 3 levels between judging and participating in the ACC, alongside a whopping 5 levels of active participation within the Envoy Corps' roleplaying sessions.
His individual accolades only tell half the story. Blackhawk has seamlessly stepped into vital leadership roles within the Ascendant Clan, spending the last 8 months as an indispensable member of our Summit. Throughout his tenure, he has shown a steady, quiet dedication, choosing to lead his House by example and maintaining active outreach during major events to keep member morale high. Furthermore, his tactical eye was instrumental during Phase 1 of the Ascendant Clan's Wiki Project, where he worked behind the scenes brainstorming, writing, editing, and updating several of our vital unit wiki articles to ensure our fictional footprint remains sharp and cohesive.
All in all, Blackhawk is the exact type of member that makes Clan Plagueis strong, a leader I am continuously proud to share a Summit with. I am consistently impressed by his progress, his loyalty, and his success, and I look forward to watching his efforts continue to expand and elevate our unit. I feel more than justified in requesting his immediate advancement to the rank of Equite 3. He has done more than enough to earn the honor, and it is a promotion that is deeply deserved.
