Through his consistency and activity, Maaks has become one of Arcona’s stalwarts. Having been a member of our great clan since even before I arrived, Maaks has proven himself to be an extremely talented, very well-liked, and very hard-working member of Arcona. As it will become clear later on in this recommendation when Sang provides some of the more detailed analyses of Maaks’ accolades, successes and overall tenure within the clan, this esteemed member of Arcona has become one of the clan’s pillars. Faith is invested in him, and results always follow.

I have always been impressed with Maaks’ work ethic, his drive, and his unabated talent. He is an inspiration to us all, and his exuberance, passion and drive serve to remind us all why it is that we participate in this club at times. Often, many of us can be shadowed and jaded by the events of this club. Maaks, on the other hand, has always been positive, active, and willing. That kind of consistent dedication (and consistency is key, as Sang will demonstrate) is what defines Maaks as a member of the Shadow Clan, and as a friend to us all.

Thank you, Maaks. You’ve been an inspiration.

~Wuntila Arconae, Consul. Clan Arcona.

Few members bring a genuine smile to my face when they send in submissions to a competition. And few members have I had the privilege of watching grow up over the course of their DB career. When I first got to the DB, Maaks, or Maxi as we like to call him was a fellow Battleteam Leader, so I go ta chance to work with him that way. In the time since then, I've had the pleasure of being on the receiving end of writing, graphics, and submissions for various Clan Competitions, including the Arcona Family Feud, Operation: Rolling Thunder, and Trials of Loyalty. His creative ability is really something special, and his easy going nature and willingness to help others is contagious - and as a result he challenges and makes the members around him better. As a writer, I've watched him go from being a nervous kid to a wonderful, creative painter of words. His most recent Contract for the ACB was graded as "E" for Excellent (the highest grade), and is a real tribute to how far he has progressed and become an integral part of Arcona. I think he has gone above and beyond the trials of a typical Dark Jedi Knight, and deserves the rank of Templar and to join us cool kids in the Equite ranks :).

-Marick Arconae Proconsul, Clan Arcona

I’m never sure how to start off with leading recs, but here goes. Maaks has been in Arcona for a bloody long time and I’ve counted him as a friend for just as long. Maaks isn’t always one of those members who are active 24/7, 365 days a year. No…he’s one of those who turn up during events and absolutely decimates them and then makes us wonder why the hell he’s still a DJK. In the time since his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight, Maaks has racked up 25 crescents of varying levels. He’s earned 5 Crescents with Topaz stars, 1 Crescent with Quartz star, 8 Crescents with Emerald stars for achieving 3rd in the Family Feud week 3 poem event and 3rd overall in the Family Feud event that was run within Arcona. As well as getting 1st in the Create a Lightsaber competition, 1st in Operation Rolling Thunder weeks 1 and 2 trivia, 3rd in the Operation Rolling Thunder Arcona Bureau Contract event, 1st in the ORT week 2 caption comp and 1st in ORT’s week 3 codebreaker. He has also earned 5 Crescents with Sapphire stars for achieving 2nd in the Family Feud week 3 Multimedia event, 1st in the Family Feud weeks 3 and 4 Initialisation events and 1st in Operation Rolling Thunder’s weeks 1 and 2 Codebreaker events. Added to this, Maaks has earned another 6 Crescent with Amethyst stars for his first place gfx entries for the Family Feud weeks 2 and 3 gfx events. He also got 2nd place in the ‘Year in Haiku’ event run by Halc while he was serving as VOICE and getting 1st place in Operation Rolling Thunder’s weeks 2 and 3 gfx events. His final Crescent with Amethyst star was awarded for coming in 2nd place overall in Operation Rolling Thunder.

So from looking at that impressive award list, Maaks has shown more than enough dedication and activity to be promoted to Krath Priest. But let’s go into more detail on other things that Maaks has done. Maaks has gotten a Seal of Decimation and a Cluster of Ice during his time as a DJK for his work as well as a Dark Cross for the wiki work he did for Galeres, editing the main page and adding to the lore of the militant House of the Shadow Clan. Finally in his long list of activity and awesomeness, Maaks overshadowed many other Arconans and plenty of non-Arconans in the sheer number of entries he submitted during the first two weeks of the Dark Crusade. He submitted 5 entries, for the ‘The Hunt’ gfx event, the Ancient Stones fiction, the Target: Tor Siva fiction, the SA Cryptology exam and he contributed quite a bit to Team Arcownage’s wiki page entry for Krayiss II which has netted him a potential Silver Nova when they’re awarded.

Maaks contributed to 4.19% of Arcona’s total entries, a hell of a lot higher than many other Arconans. So, I’ve talked about what he’s done…time to now talk about Maaks himself. Maaks is one of those Arconans beloved by all. He’s quiet and often lurks but as soon as he comes on IRC, he’s mobbed by others, a clear sign of how valued his presence is within the Shadow Clan by his peers. He is one of my stalwarts in Galeres, when he returned from his last LoA, I was overcome with joy at the thought of the entries he’d soon be submitting to the Dark Crusade. A selfish thought indeed, but I thought of how much of a quiet motivator he is, not with his words, but with his actions. Maaks is a damned fine member of Galeres and now he’s a damned fine Equite.

Congratulations, Maaks. Welcome to the brotherhood within the Brotherhood and join your brothers and sisters in the ranks of the Equites.

I am honoured to be recommending Maaks for his promotion to Obelisk Templar. He has been an exemplary member inside of Clan Arcona. Though it is a big step for a member to reach the Equite Ranks, he is one of those members deserving of that rank. As Sanguinius stated above his activity has been constantly of a high standard, since being promoted to Dark Jedi Knight.

I would like to take the time to look at him from a different perspective, focusing on him as a person and a member rather than him in terms of activity. He has a reputation of being approachable, friendly and more than willing to help any member with anything they require. More than that, members look up to him during events, his activity is always seen on the front lines. As stated before he is a constant presence inside of the Arcona IRC Channel, dispensing wisdom and humour to the masses. He takes the time inside of his busy day to interact with members, helping new members and old alike. He is helping to constantly make House Galeres and Clan Arcona active day to day, with no thought of his own personal reward.

For all of the reasons that have been stated during this recommendation, I feel that Maaks is more than deserving of this promotion to the Equite ranks. Congratulations on this elevation and keep up the hard work in the future.

Cethgus Tiberius Entar Arconae Aedile of House Galeres

Maaks is one of those members who doesn't personify activity, but is still a huge asset to whichever unit has him. He is charismatic, loyal, funny, and when he sets his mind to something, he is indomitable. His recent performance in Phase One of the Dark Crusade is testament to this. Working with him is always a pleasure, as I've yet to meet a member who thinks things through on the same level of detail as him, and his unconventional way of approaching problems is often a much needed voice for me in particular. I look forward to seeing what he can accomplish as an Equite. Congrats, Maxwell. - Dash

Exarch Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart Rollmaster of Clan Naga Sadow

Methyas L'eonheart, 2013-02-21 18:19:38 UTC

Certain members of the Shadow Clan appeal to me as the faithful golden oldies. As the ones upon whom all can rely. The ones who can be trusted to go about their business, to continue striving to make the clan a better place, and who endeavour to make sure that all of the clan’s facets run smoothly. These individuals tend to work behind the scenes. They are barely mentioned, let alone acknowledged for their efforts. This, in my view, is a massive oversight on the part of myself, the Arconan leadership and, indeed, the Brotherhood as a whole, for it is these ‘faithful golden oldies’ who keep our club ticking. It is these invested individuals who ensure that everything we do is not in vain, and that everyone in their respective areas is being productive, doing the best they possibly can and, most importantly, enjoying themselves.

These faithful golden oldies are the family pets that see generations come and pass, and treat every member of the family with the same love and adoration. They are the light in the darkness, our constant beacon, our unrelenting guide. They are few and far between. They keep our little corner of the internet safe, happy, and enjoyable. They are the ones who stop us from becoming too-heavily invested, those who calm us when we get angry, those who direct us when we are lost. And it is my honour to say that Arcona is the home of one of the Brotherhood’s most influential, important and humble of these faithful golden oldies. Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar is that individual.

He has been a massive boon to Arcona in his long, fruitful tenure in the clan. He has served successfully as an Aedile and as a Quaestor, and every day he proves to myself and the clan why we consider him one of the cornerstones of Arcona’s stability and success. He goes unrewarded and unnoticed in the background, yet he continues to work fervently for Arcona. His passions do not lie in personal progression, unlike most other members of the Brotherhood, but in a genuine want for Arcona and the Brotherhood to succeed and grow. It is about time this kind of dedication is rewarded.

I will begin by listing Sang’s many accolades as a participant and as a leader, before expanding upon what he has done for the Brotherhood at large. This recommendation has been endorsed by various members of the Dark Council and a number of Arconans alike. By the end, I hope that you will see Sanguinius’ many successes, many triumphs, and resultantly his deservedness for promotion.

As a participant, Sanguinius has been a stalwart. With unrelenting consistency, and an evident skillset to match, Sang continues to amaze at every critical juncture. Since his last large award, Sang has received three crescents with Sapphire Stars, two crescents with Topaz Stars, a crescent with a Ruby Star, and a crescent with an Emerald star. He has acquired five Dark Crosses (that’s right, FIVE), a Steel Cross, seven Clusters of Ice, and three (again, you read it right: THREE) Gold Novae. This kind of awards list, although smaller than most, is of considerably more value when one considers the level of awards listed therein. More important still is the fact that he managed to remain so active, participate so heavily, and come out so successfully all alongside his responsibilities as a Quaestor of House Galeres, which, in my strict and structured regimen, is no mean feat at all. Added to that, he has also acquired a Scroll of Foundation for his efforts in mentoring Kalon Dane to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Similarly, he managed to place FIFTH in the ACC Championship Ladder (in which he beat now DGM Raken… yeah, scary thought), and actually worked alongside then Combat Master Teroch Erinos to create table of participation for the ACC 5th CHL ladder in regards to awarding Clusters of Ice. And yes, there’s more. He participated FULLY in the internal Arcona events of the Family Feud, Trials of Loyalty, and Operation Rolling Thunder, and showed his worth during the recent Arcona-Plagueis Beyond the Horizons cooperative event. This led to a grand total of 45 submissions, and that does not even factor in his participation within Arcona’s efforts in the first section of The Crusade. In this event he offered another four entries; this far exceeded the clan average of 2 entries per member.

Indeed, the above exposition is a clear expression of Sang’s many accolades, and his many successes in his participation as a member-cum-Quaestor in Arcona. In the Shadow Clan we try to breed a ‘leading from the trenches’-type mentality for our leaders. Sanguinius has been at the forefront of this mentality, and has continued to show why he is a prime candidate for this kind of leadership. However, participation is not his only accolade. No, Sanguinius has been both an avid and extremely successful Quaestor, and resident all-round Brotherhood lackey in his role within the Shadow Academy.

As the leader of House Galeres, Sanguinius has spearheaded a smorgasbord of projects, all off his own back, and all for the benefit of his house and the clan at large. His main work was in transforming the Galere’s fictional background into something more accessible by the members. He did this not only to ensure Galeres was represented properly in comparison to a newly-reformed and reworked House Qel-Droma, but also to provide jobs and activities to a number of the lower-ranking members of the clan. Indeed, over the course of a few months Sang, along with a number of journeymen, revamped the Galeres wiki page, reworked the entire BAC Darkest Night Wikipedia page, and created the fictional from of Galeres – SCEPTER. Along with this ongoing Wikipedia project, which has seen a number of Journeymen reach their requirements for DJK, Sang has also expanded his horizons into his work within Qel-Droma, offering his services to help with Project: Redacted, which saw an entire overhaul of House Qel-Droma’s history. This kind of dedication not only to his own house, but to the other half of Arcona, is vital to Arcona’s continued development. This, together with his work expanding upon a complete Galeres history rewrite, resulting in what Muz affectionately dubbed Space Samurai Version 2.0. These are just his endeavours in clan projects and involvement therein, however. As a leader, he has been much more impressive.

Over the course of the past 9 months, Sang has proofed over one-hundred and fifty ACC and RO posts for various members around the club, both Arconans and otherwise (Yeah, I gasped, too…). Indeed, this statistic goes some way to demonstrating Sang’s ability to support the clan. And by support, I don’t mean rally behind. I mean truly support the people of Arcona. Any help he can give, he offers; any advice he can provide, he does. Honestly, I’ve never known someone to be so invested in people as Sang is. This clan has benefitted tremendously from his guidance and his leadership, and that is not only through his position as a Quaestor, but also his role as one of those at the reins of Arcona’s continued development and progression. I can say with absolute honesty, that I have never met someone so focused on people, so focused on helping, and so focused on ensuring individuals enjoy their experience within the Dark Brotherhood. This is something we can forget as leaders within this club. Politics and pressure begin to wear us down. Sang has remained resilient in the face of these dangers, and ensured that everyone in the clan and further afield appreciates their Brotherhood experience. Nothing quite signifies that like his role within the Shadow Academy.

Indeed, Solari and Ood are better at expressing his endeavours in the SA than I ever will be, but suffice it to say that this man has been a constant within the Shadow Academy for over a year. During that time he has endeavoured to address each exam and each participant with great care. The effects are astounding. That is only reified by his recent reception of both a Dark Savant and Dark Sage for his services to the Shadow Academy. Indeed, this institution is a cornerstone of Journeyman progression in this club, and Sang has been one of the most influential faces in it for over a year. That alone should qualify him for promotion. Equite Three has changed over the years. Since Raken returned to the forefront of leadership, the role has become an identifier of those who are ‘producers’ of Brotherhood wares and activities rather than ‘consumers’. This recommendation alone should prove without a shadow of a doubt that not only is Sanguinius one of the most integral members of one of the Brotherhood’s founding institutions – the Shadow Academy – with his activity and continued want to help others, but also that he is one of the most important members in clan Arcona today. Sanguinius has proved he is both a producer and a consumer, he has proved that his heart lies with the members of our fine club, and he has proved that he is more than worthy of the title of Obelisk Exarch.

Thank you for being a faithful golden oldie, Sang. I hope this goes some way to expressing my gratitude.

~Wuntila Arconae, Consul. Clan Arcona.

Sang is an integral part of the Shadow Academy team. By my count he is one of the longest serving members of the staff, his dedication on this front saw him added to the short roster (now of 18 members) who have earned the Dark Sage: Service degree. He currently has the fastest grading time out of all the current grading staff, currently sitting at a little over an hour, and the only reason it isn't higher because of sleep.

He is currently involved in a project to help update the courses under his charge as Professor of the Department of Lore.

Since I started as Headmaster, Sang has graded 21 exams, I hate to think how many he has done over the extent of his tenure.

Sanguinius is one of the members of the Shadow Academy staff that I dread the thought of losing. He is a great asset to the Academy and the Brotherhood as a whole. His dedication and drive to help foster those wanting to learn is commendable and I can only see continued excellence in his future.

~Solari, Headmaster

Everyone knows my recommendations do suck, I barely write two lines before I get stuck

For Sang I gladly make an exception, In this rhyme, I will outline his perfection

A pillar of Arcona, and Quaestor to boot, Sang is a member of high repute

Activity, motivation and leadership skills, every expectation, Sang fulfills

An awesome professor of the academy as well, Another exploit, but I'm starting to dwell

I'm now going to stop describing Sang's achievements at large, He simply deserves to be an Obelisk Exarch.

Therefore, I propose to promote him today, Signed by James L. Entar Arconae

---

Sang is nothing short of a scholar and a gentleman rolled into one. The amount of work he puts is not always the most glamorous, or flashy, but is vital to the operation and success of Arcona. I have had the privilege of working with him in multiple capacities, originally as one of my Battleteam Leaders, then as an Aedile, and most recently as a Quaestor. He is always around to help other members, even if they aren't in his unit. He has proofread almost everything I've written when it comes to Vendetta or War times, and has done the same thing with the other members of Arcona. We've honestly lost count of how many ACC posts he's looked over. He is always willing to sacrifice his own time for the sake of others, a trait that is invaluable as a leader in this club. He still manages to place and compete, always earning his fare share of Seals as well as placing in events as well.

Obviously reaching the rank of EQ3 is not just about helping your own Clan. It is about being a producer for the Brotherhood. His work as a Professor is invaluable to the Brotherhood as a whole, and his easy going nature makes him an equally easy point of contact with other units. As a result, he is not just a contributor to Arcona, but a contributing member to the Brotherhood, and thus deserving of taking the next step in the ranks of the Equites.

-Marick Arconae. Proconsul of Clan Arcona.

The modern House Galeres would be nowhere without Sanguinius. He has spent the last year in the job of Quaestor, and I can only say that all of his work has been largely positive. He has always been among the first to send out a motivational email to his members when a major DJB competition takes place. And that’s not to say he does not take part; he usually rivals the most active members of the clan in terms of placements and participation, often coming in the final top 10. That, for me, defines a leader; leading from the front with his troops rather than directing from the rear.

Sang is also one of the most approachable leaders I have ever met; even when I, as a member of Qel-Droma, needed help, he was often the first I would go to as I knew that his advice would be level-headed and sensible. Now that I am Clan Rollmaster, I can still count on him as a friend and ally. And I know I am not the only one; ask any Arconan. Sang will be one of the first names that comes up as a friend to all.

I have the proud Honour to be one of the members recommending Sanguinius for the promotion to Obelisk Exarch. He has been a pillar of support, activity and leadership inside of Arcona and continues to drive House Galeres forward still.

So what to say about Sang, though I am sure everyone has summed it up already I will point out the qualities and dedication toward the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He has taken his time to improve the activity inside of House Galeres, making sure that members and leaders under him are both happy and c in touch with him. Leading, inspiring members is something Sanguinius has excelled at doing and something not enough people give him credit for.

He has been teaching me the ropes of what it is to be an Aedile inside of Clan Arcona, though his real life is demanding enough he has taken time to step up and help me and the members. Though this is not even touching on the surface of what Sanguinius has managed to achieve inside of the Brotherhood. He has been a Shadow Academy professor for more time than I care to remember, serving the Shadow Academy with dedication and professionalism.

Taking time to mark exams that he is in charge of, when a member takes one of his exams I always seem to see an impressive turnaround time from his no matter what he is doing. He stops and takes the time to mark Members exams quickly and efficiently. Though I could go on about his work others have already covered this area. I will say that he is constantly delivering work for the members of his House. Getting the members of a massive fictional revamp of the House though this was stopped while Dark Crusade is taking place, the work those members have already put in. This gave them opportunity to get involved in the development of the clan.

For what everyone above any myself has already stated I believe that Sanguinius more than deserves to take the next step up the Equite Ladder. Congratulations Sanguinius, keep up the hard work man its appreciated.

I could spend my time listing Sanguinius' achievements as a leader, an active member. It would take me ages to list them all and it'd take more then 10,000 words but I probably could do it...

Instead, I'll trust my fellow authors to write that behemoth down and I'll focus on his work in the Academy. I have known him since he became docent of Arcona History. When the Clan Histories were combined, he became the Professor of Clan Histories. Here, he worked hard to perfect the courses as written down by the clans. Later he took over for me as Professor of Lore. He is currently helping me rewriting the notes of the courses in his department. Based on my experiences, Sangs work for the SA has been exemplary and dedicated to a level worthy of recognition.

The simple fact that he could do this AND do the stuff he did (as written down in the other recommendations) should be a clear indication that he merits this promotion.

~Ood Bnar

Clan Arcona wouldn't be quite where it is at without Sanguinius. His influence extends beyond House Galeres to all the members of the Clan. As a leader he motivates people with words, but most of all he motivates Arconan's with his actions in following through with those words. He is a leader and as such is involved in all the different Summit tasks and details that need tending to, but also leads from the front with sheer activity both in and outside of competitions.

For the last several months I have had the pleasure of serving under his leadership as a Battle Team Leader. In those months I have enjoyed his subtle and adept style of leadership. I am sure that his quiet competent leadership will take him as far within the Clan Arcona and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood as he cares to go and in my estimation has earned him Equite Three.

Enapace has been a very active member of Taldryan ever since he joined the house about 4 months ago. He has fought himself through numerous Gaming events on different supported platforms, ranging from Jedi Outcast to Star Wars: The old Republic in order to achieve the needed amount of Clusters of Fire and the rank-reputation within the Grand Master’s Royal Guard as well as the work it takes to pass the amount of Shadow Academy Exams and Dark Mavens for the Dark Savant Tactics and Combat, which used to serve as his House Summit Task and became Magistrate to the Senechal.

In terms of other activities, Enapace has participated in a total of 16 Competitions since he joined the DJB, earning himself 6 Crescents (including one bearing a Diamond Star), three Merit medals (one Legion of the Scholar and two Dark Crosses), and one Seal of Decimation. Not to mention his constant presence in the house’s IRC channel.

Back in the time before he joined his brothers and sisters in Taldryan Enapace has passed both the Leadership Fundamentals and the Leadership Studies Exams, ran a Competition on his own for the members of House Revan during his term there and finished a quality wiki article about his personal character.

For his continued dedication to this Club and his activity in House Taldryan, I would like to recommend that Jedi Hunter Enapace be elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Congratulations on earning your lightsaber, bear it with pride!

OP Rian Aslar Quaestor of House Taldryan

In the past year and four months that Enapace has been a Jedi Hunter, he has been one busy guy! My man Enapace’s activity in gaming is unreal, and in the past couple months alone he has garnered 128 Clusters of Fire for himself. His actions in Jedi Academy and The Old Republic have earned him his place in the Grand Masters Royal Guard as a rank IV, thus proving his worth amongst the gamers of this club. Enapace, along with a fair few are the representing members in the Taldryan portion of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood TOR Guild, and he has done a fantastic job at showing for Tal.

Overall, Enapace has earned 6 Crescents, ranging from Quartz to Diamond, as well as a Legion of the Scholar for his feats in trivia. His prowess in the Shadow Academy is far beyond most, having earned himself a total of 5 Dark Side Degrees, including a Maven in Flight, History, Combat and Philosophy, as well as the outstanding accomplishment by earning a Dark Savant in Tactics and Combat. Enapace/Rial has also passed both Leadership Fundamentals and Studies with flying colors.

This member has participated in 6 total competitions, and has placed in each event he has submitted too. In addition, he has completed countless Flash Points in The Old Republic. He has also ran his own competition, titled “Fly the Copter” while in House Revan and had a decent turnout.

Enapace has gone above and beyond and has completed TWO Tasks requested by the Taldryan Summit for his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. Those tasks being: earning a Dark Savant in Tactics and Combat, as well as earning Rank IV in the GMRG and earning 80 Clusters of Fire in one month. Rial has done with ease, and despite a busy real life schedule he has pushed through and immerged as a well deserving member to be elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.

This member, as you can see, is due for his elevation to the coveted rank of Dark Jedi Knight: The final tier in the Journeymen class, and the last step before entering into the Equites. Rial, dude… congrats! Go enjoy your spoils and find yourself a sexy new War Banner, Lightsaber and Robes for Taldryan’s new Knight!

Again, well done, and extremely well earned.

• Aedile Shaz’air Taldrya, Obelisk Exarch of House Taldryan

Little Enapace...not so little anymore, are ya? Since I get to be a special guest of sorts on this episode of "Promote the Deserving Journeyman", I'll skip the boring mumbo jumbo about Shadow Academy courses and Clusters of Fire; ultimately they're not what a promotion is really about. A promotion, especially the elevation to Dark Jedi Knight, is a measure of experience. In the case of a Knighting, it's akin to a coming-of-age; recognition that one is fully a member of this Brotherhood. Consider this, there are no Knighted Apprentices...only Masters. Enapace has been a part of our Brotherhood for about a year and a half now, and in that time he's had a chance to explore what exactly he enjoys as a member of this club. Everyone has their favourite thing, whether that be composing poetry or downing hardmode bosses in The Old Republic. Now, he has the opportunity to build upon that foundation and help better the experience for everyone. I hope you give it your best shot.

-Ben

I hereby recommend the elevation of Enapace to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight of the Brotherhood.

Over the past year or so, I have gotten to see Enapace mature into his potential within the club. At first, he was all about the quick elevations, but he has since become more involved with the club in more than just some SA courses or JO matches. He has become a fixture in the various IRC channels of the club, and he is beginning to become recognized within the club.

Enapace has completed all of the trials that he has been presented, and he has completed a task specified by his house summit: the earning of a Dark Savant in Combat and Tactics. In fulfilling this last task, Enapace had to branch out to something beyond his normal Jedi Outcast rounds, and he did this by playing TOR levels over the past few weeks. Enapace has also taken on additional responsibility by becoming a magistrate to the Senechal.

Congrats on your promotion, Enapace, and I hope you will continue to participate in the various activities offered by the Brotherhood in the years to come.

Signed, OPM Kell Palpatine Dante
