The Kukri is to be awarded for “When such work reaches levels of exceptional value, a token of appreciation is needed to honor such tasks. As such, bearers of this award have shown their dedication and focus on furthering one aspect of the Brotherhood far beyond what was expected of them.”

There are perhaps 5 or 6 individuals in all of Clan Scholae Palatinae who put forth the effort and hard work needed to qualify for the Amethyst Kukri. Impetus is at or near the top of that list. There is never a time when I ask her to complete something for me that she does not jump at the chance. She is eager, knowledgeable, level headed, even tempered, and a boon to the Clan and Brotherhood as a whole.

Through her tenure here in CSP, since her last promotion to Archpriestess, Impetus has recorded a slew of activity, work, and mentoring of younger members. To list her accomplishments would take another 4 pages, so I will not waste the Council’s time. If need be, a full list of accomplishments and achievements can be provided.

What stands out for me about Imp is her unending desire to better the Clan and Brotherhood. She regularly checks all the Wiki pages of the Clan to ensure continuity and common sense throughout and without her, several Wiki projects for the Clan would never have gotten off the ground. In addition to her tireless Wiki service, she has created a guide for others to follow in regards to Wiki creation and maintenance, something we all use as a starting point for our Wiki pages.

Her efforts in Reclamation were second or third to only a select few others, and Impetus consistently shows her dominance in Clan Competitions. She has earned countless crescents for her competition prowess and I do not expect those numbers to drop anytime soon.

Where others would get burnt out, Impetus simply marches on. She rarely complains and when she does, it is because she has a legitimate concern that needs to be addressed. She reports on a consistent basis as Ward of the South for Scholae Palatinae, bringing the Clan into step with any current Wiki changes.

I know that when I need something done correctly and efficiently, that there is one person to whom I turn. Impetus Korin-M’Nar Palpatine, it is my honor and great pleasure to recommend you for the Amethyst Kukri. You truly deserve it.

Impetus has been the an instrumental building block within CSP. She has done her job flawlessly as Ward of the South, creating, editing, and mentoring everyone, from journeymen and up, in how to create, maintain, and get the most out of their wiki and the clans wiki's. Imp has been an inspiration to both new members and vets alike, giving all for the clan and more. She has been a rock that the new members can lean on when they are in need of help, and a catalyst for the vets to step up and strive to help the clan as she does. As ward of the South, she has run competitions to both expand CSP and her members fictionally, but to also give her fellow members insight on how to construct a well organized and sound wiki by assembling lists of Wiki Article completion stages of everyone DJK or below (Xath did above).

Since her last promotion she has created the Order of the Dragon Logo, Dragon Support Scheme invented and implemented(NPCs), Made Order of the Dragon Website and Updated both Order of the Dragon Website and Wiki Page, Written a short bio for every new Order of the Dragon member, and added their name to the logo, Created Souls of Darkness Wikipedia page, Dark Paladin Wiki Page, Wards of CSP Wiki Page, Wrote HAD QUA initiation ritual. Also, below is the massive amounts of activity that Impetus has done.

Along with promoting the development of each member's wikis, she has created the groundwork for Elite BT and Wiki guides(Order of the Dragon Handbook, CSP Wiki plan, CSP Wiki Guide), and has worked on numerous other major projects including the Menagerie and Path projects(Edited CSP Menagerie Document & Assigned requirements to every animal in the menagerie, Vong Terraforming research). She is the epitome of what members should strive for: Paladin, Former Elite BTL, Seal of Loyalty recipient, and a Daughter of Palpatine. For her hard work, dedication, and unfaltering service above herself, I am honored to recommend Imp for the Amethyst Kukri.

Phoenix Palpatine Consul of Scholae Palatinae

Augur Elincia Rei has served in leadership positions consecutively for the past 11 months at various levels of responsibility to include the past four months as Consul. Elincia had the difficult task of replacing one of the longest tenured Consuls in DJB history, but has done so with elan and poise. Elincia's recent efforts in leading CSP to their fourth consecutive finish as the 3rd Clan of the DJB showed that not only is CSP in good hands right now, but they will continue to be into the future.

Elincia's additional work over the past year has consisted of exceptional content creation in the form of competitions, working with the DC on fictional direction, and an exceptional amount of work on CSP's future fictional direction.

Elincia, congrats on the AK. I look forward to seeing your continued efforts as Consul.

I am honored to lend my voice, and support, to the recommendation for Elincia Rei today for exceptional leadership of Clan Scholae Palatinae. Eli has been paramount in the Clan’s efforts to establish itself as one of the top tier units in the Brotherhood. Third Overall in the 12th Great Jedi War is a punctuation mark on a year of hard work and diligent effort.

This time last year, Eli became a vital component of change and forward momentum in the Clan with plans to move Scholae Palatinae from it’s old dominion to a new dominion. The invention and execution of the Caperion System marked the first fresh, new direction that the Clan had seen in nearly a decade. The project involved a lot of people, but you can easily identify our Consul’s fingerprints on the design and outcome of a brand new system meant to engage our new members, not cater to an old, departed crowd.

You’ve done some amazing things in 2017, Eli. I am honored to be by your side as we continue into a new year with a full agenda. Congratulations on this award. Drinks are on you!

I cannot even begin to express how much of an honour it is to add my voice to those others, in support of an amazing individual leader, friend, and force like Elincia Rei. Here is someone who works with his members held paramount to his own ambitions. He leads by example, and what an example he truly is to the rest of us. He has been absolutely key to the development of the Clan and has paid off in a fantastic placement in the only just finished 12th Great Jedi War.

One of the biggest things I see when I look at how Eli leads is a drive to make the Clan for the members. He involves everyone through numerous polls, questionnaires and just listening to what his members has to say (not just his summits.) This is so often a rare thing in a leader. It is refreshing to work with a leader who cares, understands, and strives to include everyone in the effort of creating something bigger and better for the Clan in its entirety. Not just that, but, even when the going gets tough, he handles the negative just as passionately as he handles the positive. He is consistent in his efforts.

He never fails to be honest. He never fails to be kind. Always thinking, always planning, he has been stellar in taking up the position of Consul and pulling together a team that could help make the clan truly shine.

Thank you Elincia, for an outstanding 2017. What you’ve done is truly amazing. I hope to see just as much passion, if not more, into 2018. Congratulations on a well-deserved award.

It is a pleasure to add my support to this recommendation to recognize Elincia Rei for the dedicated service he has been providing to Scholae Palatinae. The year has been a long, hard fought journey for CSP; and we wouldn’t have arrived at this level of success without Eli’s leadership as well as activity. Being our clan’s only completist in the GJW, Elincia has shown that he isn’t just a leader by word but also through action; so I am excited to see him being awarded for his efforts.

The past year has seen a lot of change over for Scholae Palatinae. From losing our previous dominion, to rebuilding the new system, to the more recent leadership change-overs and navigating the GJW. Eli has been the constant the clan had needed throughout all this change. He was project leader over creation of our new dominion and as such has been involved in every aspect from initial design, lore and wiki creation, to overseeing the delivery of this new system through our latest clan event. Throughout this, he’s pushed the initial concepts of his predecessor, Xen, to further the project with the new team’s ideas and desires to deliver the greatest opportunity for the clan is years. Furthermore, he’s assembled a fresh team of summit members and been the guiding hand the team needed to prepare for the Great Jedi War and handle the delayed launched that came with it. Without his leadership and, most definitely, activity; Scholae Palatinae would not have been able to hold on to it’s steak as Third Clan of the Brotherhood.

I can’t stress this enough, Eli has been a pillar for the clan to pivot upon throughout this. Thank you for this, Eli. You are easily one of CSP’s greatest servants.

Zen was the sole author for Writing Dialogue. This worked out to 1920 words of course notes and an exam to functions as a mini writing workshop for members. The use of video from canon Star Wars media was ultimately Zen's idea, as he wanted to use the sequence from ANH for an exam question; hopefully he hasn't come to regret that after seeing his work sit in limbo for several weeks while Zuza and I figured out how to handle video content through a centralized SA account.

While he's not the SA's most prolific grader, Xen's courses tend to be a heavier lift than most exams. In particular, the Test of Wisdom is significantly more work to grade than your average SA exam, as Zen has to review an entire story--running several dozen pages in a few instances--and offer detailed feedback to the submitter. Then he has to review the whole thing when the member resubmits to assess their improvement. It's a step above and beyond what most other Professors or Docents have had to do over the years, but it's something Zen has taken on with gusto. I and the Brotherhood's writing community appreciate his work.
