Dante has been a long-standing and dedicated member of CSP, and his presence has always been valued. Over the years, he has contributed in meaningful ways, consistently bringing insight and steadiness to everything he’s involved in. Whether active day-to-day or stepping in when he’s able, he has always made a difference. His dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for the time, energy, and heart he’s given to this place. Dante may not always be front and center, but he is, and always will be, an important part of CSP. We thank him sincerely for everything he’s done.
Congrats on your SB, Dante!

Not gonna lie here, I am pretty stoked to add to this recc. While this is all just excess XP that Dante has earned in the past, it goes to show his previous efforts and activity.
Way back when I first joined CSP, Dante was one of the first to welcome me. He helped teach me the ropes, and while I never really had a "master" Dante was that person. He taught me not just how to survive in this club but to thrive. Even though I never learned how to be good at Jedi Academy, he still tried repeatedly. But enough of me reminiscing.
Congrats on the Sapphire Blade Dante!

Even though Waza is a recent transfer into the Clan, he has made his presence felt both in his Discord chatting and activity. Since his last recognition, Waza has participated in 51 competitions, 8 roleplaying sessions, and DMed a session of his own. He has garnered 2 Cresents and 27 clusters during that time. He is always an encouraging voice to his clanmates, seeking to bring out the best in them and helping them live their best DB life.
Congrats Waza!

Waza was always a pleasure to deal with, serving Odan-Urr as a long-time Summit member, acting as the intake point for our newest members during the run of our Proving Grounds Battle Team from its inception through to its closure he got to know and assist many of our newest members as they found their voices within the Club, furthermore he was always a strong advocate of roleplaying activities within the Clan, very rarely was one opened where Waza was not in participation. While his last few months of service were slowed due to health issues, he still carried on the flame through conversations in the Summit Chat, pointing the way for the rest of our Summit to engage with new members and continuing outreach with new joins who had been mostly silent since their arrival in an attempt to find a perfect fit for them within the Clan.
While we were disheartened to hear of their decision to leave Odan-Urr, it came at a time when their health was returning and they were seeking a change to help them regain activity and find themselves within the Brotherhood, and seeing them do just that has sparked a sense of joy within me.
Here's to many more awards, and many more activities Waza!
Ever onwards, my friend!

A member's first sacramental award is a special occasion. While merit medals are awarded for excellence in the day to day, sacramental awards are the threshold between the average and the great.
Kora is simply that: great.
In just over a month, Kora has amassed the 5125 XP required to earn her first ever Sapphire Blade. While I'm not sure if that's a record, it's still an extraordinary achievement in and of itself.
The numbers speak for themselves: 50 competitions participated in netting 19 crescents, three clusters of ice, 84 clusters of graphite, and one scroll of foundation. Five society rank ups in the Collegium, Inquisitorius, and Shroud Syndicate. 21 shadow academy courses passed with four new degrees attained. A promotion to Equite 1.
All of that, in a month. That's more than most members do in a YEAR.
This Sapphire Blade is more than deserved, it is EARNED.
Congratulations on your first of what will likely be MANY sacramental awards to come, Kora!

To further embellish the praise our CON has given, I firmly believe that one should remember that as of today, Kora has only been a member of the DJB for just under 2 months and 1 week! I am in the same boat as Dracaryis in that I am unsure of if that's a record or not for a Sapphire Blade, but it feels like it should definitely be near the top.
Her creativity and artistry shines well in many things she does, her enjoyment of both the craft and Star Wars itself is apparent with very little effort on a viewer's behalf. As her Master, I can speak directly to her drive and enjoyment of the club, as well as her hopes and aspiration to continue to add to it in the future, and while no award is given for future projects, I believe this to be a fitting bit of fuel to throw onto her fire to keep her going, not only for her own benefit, but as a benefit to the club as a whole from her contributions.
This award may be attributed to XP, but I have no doubt that if she continues to find enjoyment and creative sparks within our ranks, it will be followed by numerous Service rewards as well, so congratulations on your first big prize and I look forward to seeing it eclipsed by even shinier ones in the future!

Astralis has quickly become a force to be reckoned with not only in Clan Plagueis, but the DB as a whole. Since his last medal (which was less than a month ago, might I add), Astralis has been an absolute beast in regards to activity across just about all aspects of the club. Let’s get crunchy for a moment and take a look at the numbers. Astralis has submitted to an incredible 77 competitions, placing in a whopping 24 of those and earning a whole cornucopia of crescents including 4 Diamond, 5 Ruby, 7 Amethyst, 6 Sapphire and 2 Emerald. But his activity hasn’t been limited to competitions, we also saw Astralis gaming it up with fellow members with to earn a staggering 242 Clusters of Fire and a rank up in the GMRG, his artistic talents have brought him 60 Clusters of Graphite along with four rank ups in the Shroud Syndicate, and he’s continued to tear through the Shadow Academy ranking up twice in the Aurora Collegium of Sciences while successfully completing another 19 course and adding another 5 degrees to his already impressive list! But, on top of all of this, Astralis took his first steps into the ACC and Roleplaying, completing 1 of each activity and earning him his first rank in both societies! His total literary work has earned him 5 Clusters of Ice for his nearly 3000 words of fiction! And did I mention that all of this happened in less than a month?!
On top of all of this, Astralis has been asking questions and learning as a newer member while simultaneously answering questions and helping to guide his students through the club, helping encourage them to participate and be active. All-in-all, Astralis is a member that we are proud to have, someone who is a flurry of activity, who continues to explore the different aspects of the club and someone who looks ready to light a fire under the butts of some of our veteran members! Congratulations Astralis, on your first in what I am sure will be many well deserved Sapphire Blades.

Livia never ceases to blow me away with her constant hard work, toiling away at various activities she is never one to shy away from a clan event, gaming opportunity or trying new things! Since her last recognition in October, Livia has participated in a total of 55 competitions. Of those 55 comps, she’s placed in 20 of them! These include 5 entries into the Plagueian House feud, Ascending Conspiracy earlier this year where she helped House Ventress on the path to victory, 13 entries into the recently completed Vacation on Hoth where she took 6th place overall as well as a few entries into Season 1: Parabellum. All in all this has earned Livia a well deserved 3 Crescents with Ruby Star, 6 with Amethyst Star, 2 with Sapphire Star, 8 with Emerald Star and 1 with Topaz Star for her placements.
Now this is a solid level of activity, but with Livia, even if she isn’t participating in an event, she stays incredibly active. How active? Well, how about earning a staggering 1446 Clusters of Fire across 74 gaming activities? Yes, you did in fact read that correctly, 1446! This has allowed Livia to continue climbing the rank of the GMRG with 5 rank increases to hit rank XI. Livia also gained 8 Clusters of Graphite for her artistic endeavors and continued to dabble in Roleplaying, earning another Cluster of Ice and increasing herself to rank 3 in the RP Society. Livia’s activity numbers speak volumes about her passion and dedication to the clan. She is a member that we are lucky to have in our midst, while not the loudest member, her name is one I see pop up the most often (in a good way!). It feels like not a day goes by where I don’t have an email with her name on it letting me know that she refuses to slow down her incredible pace of activity! I am absolutely honoured to be able to recommend Livia for her first Sapphire Blade. Congratulations Livia, this is truly well deserved!

Since the last time we were here, A'lora has managed to score the XP necessary to get a brand new Sapphire Blade. This comes from doggedly pursuing the SA society, pushing through the last few degrees and couple dozen courses to land at rank 12. Also, there's been five other society ranks, 1 Envoy Participant, 2 ACC participant, and one in both the Shroud and the Inquisitorius. With no less than a pouch of crescents and enough Clusters of Ice to sink a small boat, it's plain to see that A'lora has managed to get enough done to earn this award.
All this in addition to a staggering 25,000 words of fiction in three entries (three entries?!), 7500 words in RP and participating in 36 competitions.
Well done, A'lora. Well done and congrats.

Twenty-five thousand words in three entries? My brain broke at that, and that's not counting the seven thousand in a single roleplay.
A'lora is one of those silent power-houses in Odan-Urr, the kind who swings in, competes, occasionally drops a novel, and disappears back into the void while silently stalking, prepared to strike again when no one is looking. The amount of effort they put into each project they submit is astounding, and this is definitely an award well deserved.
I look forward to your next brain-rattling amount of fiction drops, A'lora, and more insightful discussions about The Brotherhood, past and present.
Ever onward!

According to what the great Mango AI is telling me, Orv has earned enough XP to warrant another Grand Cross to add to his collection. To get here, I assume this auto-magic, do-math-for-wally robot came to the conclusion after knocking out 49 competitions, 24 CoGs, a Shroud Syndicate rank up, a bunch of crescents, and brought home 241,410 credits for Clan Arcona. Orv is way past the point of needing pixel-based trophies, but we appreciate him being here, taking part in competitions, and just being a continued positive presence for the House and the Clan.
It is an honor to share the same space as you brother, keep being you!

It's a pleasure to be able to add to this recommendation, Orv has to be one of the most dedicated members of our club as there's few places without his touch. Today, we recognize him for his continued efforts as a member of Qel-Droma and Voidbreaker II. While Orv has influenced much outside the clan, the single most important thing needed for this club's existence is members who engage in fellowship. That Orv continues to do this after a busy DB career as well as growing demands of real life is something to celebrate and we in our little communities of HQD and VBII are thank you he continues to spend times with us as a regular member in our chats, a core participant in our competitions, and continuing presence of positivity. Congrats Orv on the shiny and thanks for adding to our community.
Raiju, 2025-06-14 20:21:44 UTC
I am honored to add to this Sapphire Blade recommendation for Orv in recognition of his recent contributions to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood's website. Recently, Orv took the initiative to create a screencast that pitched a series of visual and usability tweaks for the website. This presentation, complete with mock-ups and commentary, clearly represented at least several hours of preparation and reflection. The tweaks pitched in the video included visual improvements to the navigation bar and logo alignment, adding a subtle dropdown shadow effects, and a glow effect for news posts that added additional emphasis to items posted by Councillors. Orv also revised link colors to improve readability, and introduced a visual update to the dossier navigation pills.
Once his proposals were approved, Orv quickly implemented them, creating individual pull requests with detailed (video) demonstrations for each change. Orv then continued to refine his implementations based on feedback from the community, addressing concerns about the visibility of the navigation bar on mobile devices, ensuring that the site remains user-friendly across all platforms and devices.
Keep up the good work, and congratulations!

Sera Kaern has only just kicked the door down and returned to the clan a week ago. Yet, they have accrued the 5125 medal xp for a shiny new Sapphire Blade! Much of this is due to the mountain of activity they had done in the past now providing that sweet enticing experience points! Starting with a bit of activity since their last award before they returned to being a bamf in training, they completed 2 competitions with 1535 words of fiction and netted an Emerald Star Crescents. Over Sera’s lifetime of being in the Brotherhood, they had earned 1,476,840 credits for the clan. During those handful of years, they had earned 105 Clusters of Fire, 59 Clusters of Graphite, and 332 Clusters of Ice. Hawt damn! Also, they netted 56 Vendetta Seals!!! The trivia genius also won a Legion of Scholar, and a Scroll of Indoctrination for recruiting a friend!
Sera Kaern is a fantastic friend whom I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know, to write and create with. Their camaraderie with peers is top tier, outgoing and encouraging. Their love of collaborating with fellow members genuinely inspires those around them, just as much as it has the energy of a certain spar-happy Zabrak. Sera’s character was held fast and true as a leader, eager to assist, engage, and help develop the tales and sandbox of the time they served.
I am honored to present Sera Kaern the first of what might be many more awards in the future. Congratulations, Tatts! And welcome back again!

The prodigal kicky-captain returns home. In coalescing her previous work in combination with the new systems put into play while Sera was away, the Sapphire Blade is a perfect bridge from the old to the new. Sapphire Blades were originally scoped to long term commitment to a Clan or the Brotherhood, so in spirit, I believe this is a fitting time to give Sera another thing to potentially stab people with. Also, swords are cool.
Sera has ranked up 12 times in different societies thanks to the formation of the ACC and RP societies, which is a testament to work that was done, but now is recognized formally in a much different way.
We are so excited to have Sera back in Arcona and House-Qel Droma, and look forward to all the great things and butt-kicking Sera has in store for the future!
We missed you.

I personally don't know Sera, they've just returned to Arcona after a challenging time away and we haven't had the chance to get to know one another. However, the instant they were potentially coming back, the clan was abuzz with the news. So many chats I'm apart of had comments on the prospect, it was clear this was something to take note of - and I get it now.
In reviewing their unawarded activities from a time before the XP experience, it's clear that Sera is a dedicated member of the clan with proven track record of excellency. Additionally, in watching their returning interactions with the member of the clan it's clear they are a natural fit for our community and has put the effort in to getting to know folks.
It's refreshing seeing someone's reputation matching their actions and I, too, have joined the chorus of joy in seeing Sera return to the clan and join us in our Qel-Droma community. Welcome back Sera, and congrats on the recognition.

A Sapphire Blade for a hard-working Aedile! Raiju has been a solid addition to our leadership Summit in Clan Arcona, and it is with great pleasure and pride I write this recommendation.
Since his last medal, Raiju has organized 6 competitions as well as taken part in 102. Across these competitions he has earned 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, 9 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 1 Crescent with Sapphire Star, 1 Crescent with Emerald Star, and 2 Crescents with Topaz Star. His Fiction, RP, and Gaming activities have earned 34 Clusters of Fire and 13 Clusters of Ice. Raiju has engaged in glorious combat in multiple ACC matches, and even lent his discretion to judge a couple. His focus on engaging with our ACC and RP systems have earned him 5 additional ranks, 3 in the ACC Judging society and 2 in the Envoys. He has also continued to expand his knowledge, passing two additional SA courses.
In addition to all the tracked activity, Raiju has been heavily involved behind-the-scenes working with the Clan Summit to develop the new Clan Arcona storyline. He has contributed both to narrative aspects of the story - assisting with suggestions and direct development for several of the major story elements - as well as mechanical systems which are still being polished up before seeing the light of day.
For all of these reasons, I hereby recommend Raiju to be awarded a Sapphire Blade!

I have rarely lucked into a direct-report that more or less volunteered for the role before I even opened it for applications. I had intended not to take an Aedile immediately, or at all, but Raiju made a very strong showing of being present, engaged, and most importantly, motivated and with a vision to help improve not just the House, but the Clan. Raiju has been very communicative with the members of the House, and even unintentionally flagged the moderation bot because of the wave of introduction-DM's he sent out. This is a perfect example of his desire to support our efforts to connect 1:1 with members to make them feel welcome, included, and heard.
He is also engaging in tough conversations with the larger Arcona Summit. This is hard to navigate for many, and I've been impressed with his poise and ability to speka his mind while also understanding that differences in an opinion are healthy and natural in groups like this.
Raiju continues to bring his long history of being a member in the Brotherhood to his Aedileship. He is leading by example, and most importantly, has stepped up in huge ways to handle the administrative tasks without me having to delegate or even train. He wanted to take on the bulk of our House report, and now, he's taken the initiative on the other awards in this sweep. So, I'm proud to give him one of his own.
Keep up the great work. I appreciate you.

A shiny new blue stabby for Socks! While some of this was earned before their return to Arcona, there is no question that Socorra has been a flurry of activity and social interaction since coming back to the best Clan in the Brotherhood.
Since their last medal was awarded, Socks has organized 12 competitions and taken part in a whopping 151. Among these competitions, they have earned 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, 4 Crescents with Ruby Star, and 5 Crescents with Amethyst Star. Their activity in the realms of fiction, RP and graphics have earned 25 Clusters of Ice and 14 Clusters of Graphite. Socks passed one additional SA course, and even went up a rank in the Inquisitorius: next stop Rank 12!
For all of this, it is my recommendation to award Socorra Tenebrosa Nhar'qual Erinos a Sapphire Blade!

It’s a pleasure to add my support to this recommendation for Socorra to receive a Sapphire Blade. She has been a hard working and committed member of the Brotherhood and Clan Arcona over the years .
Admittedly, despite knowing of her touch all across this club, I’ve only recently gotten to know Socks and I look forward to learning more. From a distance, I have known Socorra as a driven and focused member and a key part to Arcona, having a constant drive and being a self-motivated member. I’ve also seen her contribute to the Herald as staff and non-staff and the impact that had for so many of us as a club. However, recently observing her as part of our Arcona and Qel-Droma communities has been where the magic is. She adds to the fellowship felt in these units and in turn improves the brotherhood as a whole. She also is a dedicated member actively competing, participating in RP sessions, and writing fiction with a set of interesting characters that are fun to learn more about.
Congratulation Socks on this Sapphire Blade, it’s great to have you in our community and we all are delighted to see you back home.
Raiju, 2025-06-12 22:31:13 UTC
We are excited to have Socks back not just in Arcona, but in House Qel-Droma. Since returning she has displayed her positive attitude, friendly demeanor, and we're happy to give her another stabby to add to her collection.
