It is my pleasure to report that Guardian Nikola Valtiere is ready for elevation the rank of Jedi Hunter. This is due to the fact that he has achieved the promotion goals as set out by the Master-At-Arms Office, proving himself to be an active part of Clan Arcona and House Qel-Droma

First off, he has been awarded at least one merit medal, in his case a pair of Dark Crosses awarded for his activity during the recent Horizons event, as well as in the follow-up feud with House Plagueis. He has also completed the leadership fundamentals exam with a score of 83%, showing an interest in expanding his knowledge as well as the fact that he is ambitious and willing to lead others.

In addition, Valtiere has taken part in ten competitions, these were the Fist's Retro Super Star Wars competition, two Horizons events (these being the run-on and Week 3's ID Scan), another trio in the Beyond the Horizons feud (the run-on, week 1's flash game and the overall standings), the Where's Waldo competition, and three pre-Dark Crusade events, these being Shikyo's 'Feel My Pain', Solari's 'Shadow Academy Corruption' and Sarin's Run-on.

Valtiere is also a perfect bastion of communications activity, registering on the forum, as well as being frequently seen in #arcona, both vital forms of communication in the modern DJB.

Finally, Valtiere has spent enough time at the rank of Guardian to qualify.

Thank you, Nikola, for your hard work and your contributions to Clan Arcona, House Qel-Droma and Void Squadron. I am sure that I will see you up for your Knighthood very soon.
