Adept Tasha Vel’Versea is one of those folks that you just cannot help but enjoy being around. She carries with her such a natural approach to leadership it is easy for everyone to feel comfortable around her. For the last eight months, Tasha has been helping me hold down the fort within Naga Sadow.

Tasha dove in and went right to work developing the Clan storyline and restructuring CNS resources. She helped develop and author the wiki article on the newly established Sepros Mining Outpost. For our monthly Blackguard Competition, Tasha implemented a new data sheet to track each participant's data for easy scoring. Made it quite easy even for this knuckledragger to input scores and track data when needed.

Even with all the PCon duties and all the behind the scene taskers, she still found time to assume the position of Magistrate to the Voice, where she assists the Voice Staff in the overall fictional system development of the Club.

Then she is no slouch when it comes to putting in some activity work. During her time she Co/Org’d twelve comps while participating in twenty one comps and racking in nearly two hundred Clusters. When the ProBowl kicked off she was right in the mix of things competing for team Rotworms. Then rolling into Great Jedi War XVI: Transcendence, not only did she help promote War efforts, Tasha ko’d five bins of comps. Those submissions added to the overall total participation rate for CNS.

As real life priorities took precedence Tasha made the decision to step away to focus on those priorities. Regardless if she is on Summit or not, she is one of the CNS Old Guards and we have benefitted from her presence. Her contributions to this Clan cannot go unnoticed and it is with great pleasure to be able to offer this token of the Clan’s appreciation for all that she has done. Thank you for everything and congratulations on this award!

Adept Bentre Stahoes is another member belonging to the Old Guards of Sadow. There has not been much he has not been a part of during his time in the Club. He has been From Aedile to Consul, Wiki Tribune to Magistrate. Like I said, not too many hats Bentre has not worn.

Not too long after stepping away from his four year stint as Consul, he found himself back on Summit. Stepping in as Quaestor in his old stomping grounds of House Shar Dakhan he led them through two major Club events with the ProBowl VII and GJW XVI.

For the last several years, Bentre has helmed the Club's Wiki Tribune. He has oversight on the Club's vast database of history, personal, planets and all things that head to Wiki. Bentre and his staff have meticulously sifted through thousands of articles since 2018 to ensure all standards and guidelines for editing and creating Wiki Articles are met.

Bentre has kept himself quite busy in his DB career, during his tenure with HSD he put together a solid bit of activity numbers to add to his already impressive resume. The Adept accumulated twenty four Crescents two hundred and nine Clusters and twelve Scrolls of Foundation. Bentre was also able to organize HSD comps as well as DM a roleplaying session bringing in Clan/House members furthering members literary adventures and character development.

During ProBowl VII and another consecutive year Benny stepped in as CNS Team Captain for the Rotworms. Again not being afraid of getting in the mix he dove in participating & promoting the event helping lead members through a great Clan wide event! Shortly after the ProBowl we rolled directly into the Great Jedi War XVI: Transcendence. Despite a hefty workload Benny dove right into GJW Great Jedi War XVI: Transcendence leading the House & CNS to an impressive participation rate through both phases of the GJW. Placing CNS on the podium for acquiring the highest participation rate amongst the other Clans.

Benny’s voice and presence is felt at all levels of the Clan. He has been a constant soundboard for us all, a mentor and just an all around amazing person. Despite the plethora of admirable qualities that Bentre has to offer the Club. There comes a time in everyone’s career that hard decisions have to be made. Bentre has been no stranger to tough decisions, certain priorities needed his attention. His calm demeanor and attention to detail has made him such a respected member of the Clan. He is always willing to listen and go that extra mile for the Clan. Whether he is a Summit member or not, that is what kind of an impact he has here, there is no end to it.

Benny I cannot say thank you enough for everything you have dedicated to this Clan. It is with great pleasure and honor to be a part of this recommendation. Congratulations on this distinguished award!

Since his last award like 15 minutes ago, crazily Ikarri still had enough XP for a Sapphire Blade. Nope, I am not kidding. That is how freaking much Ikarri has done in the last year. Enough medal XP for two sacramentals in one day. Here is to more credits.

PS told you there would be more!

Ood's recommendation accompanying this hit the nail on the head in so many ways. In the short time we've had her, she's been a delight to have around and one of the many hard-hitters within her recruit batch. An avid artist and RPer is always a welcome thing in Arcona, and especially one as positive and outgoing as Siv.

Thank you for being here Siv. Keep up the great work!

What can I say about this young man that has not already been said. He is one of the Old Guard’s of CNS and his presence is felt constantly throughout the Clan. Over the past few months Locke has maintained a steady flow of activity. He has competed in nearly ninety comps and has earned himself hundreds of Clusters of Earth & Fire.

During his time as Quaestor this year the Epis has been a valuable resource helping me settle in as Consul by assisting with promoting Clan activities, multiple award sweeps as well as helping with restructuring the Clan Fleet. Locke helped with the creation of the Sepros Defense Force & Sepros Mining Outpost ensuring CNS had the resources to protect our own backyard and furthering CNS storyline. Giving CNS members more lore & assets to enhance their own fictional storylines.

When he is not helping me, Locke is usually on the front lines with members answering questions regarding CNS/Club. He has a vast amount of knowledge and always willing to assist others. Whether he takes time out to assist with CS or loadouts, members know they are in good hands with the Epis. During the recent ProBowl and GJW he was right behind me in promoting and getting folks active in major Club events. His leadership as Quaestor was emulated by five Marka Ragnos members garnering their own placements during the War. Those war efforts led CNS to edge out the other Clans in overall participation rate in each phase of the GJW.

He consistently competes in our monthly Order of the Blackguard competition and has an ongoing feud with his Aedile for higher placement. This in House rivalry has increased our overall participation rate amongst members increasing Clan espirit de corp. During the Great Jedi War XVI: Transcendence, Locke crossed off eight comp bins, racking up over fifty individual points. His gaming prowess led to his placement in the GJW HoTs competition. I am honored to be able to be a part of this award. Congratulations Sir, well deserved!

There is a lot to be said about our resident Prof, but such profanities cannot be expressed in this venue! Seriously, the Professor is another member of the gang of Old CNS Guards. His presence is continually felt throughout the Clan. Not to be shortchanged, you cannot associate the Shadow Academy without seeing or mentioning his name.

As Aedile of Marka Ragnos Sang has kept the Ragnosians busy. Under his tenure he has mentored four members to the rank of Jedi Knight and beyond this year alone. It does not stop there, his counsel is sought after over and over. Encouraging members to acquire additional duties outside of the Clan, assisting with CS builds . From Aedile, to Professor of the Shadow Academy and now Magistrate to the Headmistress he will continue to shape the members of the Club.

The Prof is no slouch when it comes to getting into the mix of things. He has earned himself nearly 500 clusters, and earning 256k in credits for the Clan. During ProBowl VII and another consecutive year he has stepped up as CNS Team Captain for the Frog-dogs. Again not being afraid of getting in the mix he dove in participating & promoting the event helping lead the Frog-dogs to claim another ProBowl title! Shortly after the ProBowl we rolled directly into the Great Jedi War XVI: Transcendence. With out skipping a beat the Professor competes in seven comp bins securing himself a top ten placement for Phase II Graphics and Miscellaneous! His participation in the War helped CNS take the lead in participation rate through both phases of the GJW. Thank you for all your dedication to CNS Sir. Congratulations on this prestigious award.

One of my first responders & military folks in the Clan. That right there deserves the highest amount of accolade in my book. For now though I would like to point out that despite military obligations Warlord Pel Tarentae has been able to compete in fifty seven comps, knocked out fifty one Shadow Academy courses earning twelve degrees. He contributed towards the CNS War efforts by knocking out two competition bins, bolstering the CNS overall total. His participation helped CNS to maintain a lead in overall participation rate throughout the War. I wholeheartedly recommend this award for all your contributions. Thank you for everything and congratulations on this accomplishment!

My trusted Magistrate and Guv'na,

There is not a day that goes by where I am not beyond thankful or happy that I selected you to be a part of the Taldryan summit. You have done nothing but prove my decision to be the correct one, with everything you have contributed towards the betterment of both your moon, Kasiya, and the Taldryan Republic at large.

You always chime in every opportunity you get, and you are never afraid to voice your opinion even when it directly contradicts the thoughts of others. Your contributions both in the Pro Bowl and the Great Jedi War have been amazing as well, bringing home both a Silver Novae and a Crescent with an Amethyst Star from the latter. You've also participated in 55 competitions, with more Crescents and clusters to boot, and contributed almost 150k credits to the Republic's cause!

On behalf of both myself and my trusty Pecan, we want to thank you for your contributions with this Sapphire Blade.

Congratulations, Celevon! Drinks are on you.

Over the past 3 Months, Gui has been a major contributor to the Clan’s mission to bring everyone together and provide them with a family as they progress through their DB career. His continuous flow of ideas has kept things interesting and I look forward to seeing where he takes the Clan in the future. He is one of our biggest assets and more deserving of an award than anyone I know.

Since his last recognition, Gui has participated in 42 competitions earning himself 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, 3 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 1 Crescent with Emerald Star, 2 Crescents with Topaz Star, and 1 Crescent with Quartz Star. Additionally, he has run a successful RP mission where he contributed a total of 6235 words of fiction. He has posted 3 news posts and commented on 2, and accumulated 18 Clusters of Ice, 35 Clusters of Earth, 6 Clusters of Graphite, 1 Dark Side Scroll, and 2 Scroll of Indoctrination.

On top of all this, I would like to thank you for your contributions during the last war where you participated in 9 competitions.

As our most active contributor to the community, good friend, and even better leader I thank you for your efforts and congratulate you on this Sapphire Blade!
