Kazarelth sat in his chair onboard the Creeping Death, continuing on course to return to Yridia. Though Kazarelth was young in the Dark Side, he certainly did not lack experience. Although he could not know for sure, he had stood out among his peers in the eyes of his Clan, and the eyes of the Clan Summit, and would be rewarded for his efforts. But to the Jedi Hunter, these rewards were not the motivation for his actions. Kazarelth had found a true home in Tarentum, and would spend his every day defending the name of the Clan, and gaining in honor and prestige among his brethren. As the ships continued onward, a vision of darkness and power came over the Jedi Hunter. Kazarelth saw himself in robes of utter blackness, standing atop a pedestal, surrounded by those he knew as friends and allies of Tarentum. Surrounding him on the pedestal were those beings of darkness and power known as the Tarentae.

The vision faded quickly, and left Kazarelth wondering at the meaning of the vision. Elsewhere, there were others having the same vision as Kazarelth, and experiencing the same confusion. Each wondered what the future would bring for them, especially once they had returned home to Yridia. But as Kazarelth came out of his vision, his mind returned to his duties, and the expression on his face never changed. They would be home soon, and then he would try to make sense of things with the help of his Master, and with the help of the Summits.

He wished for his own Battle Team members to make sense of this mission. His young Battle Team had suffered their first taste of War. They all needed some guiding power to clothe them with this utter darkness and True Power and Prestige in their home Clan. It would come. It would come.

Tarentum licked its proverbial wounds as it sped home to the Yridia system. Most of the other Clans had taken some hard hits from the Vong. Until the end, Tarentum had been able to avoid any real damage from the invading Vong. The destruction of the Acheron had been a blow that left most of Tarentum realizing how much the Vong had terrorized the Brotherhood. And yet, even with the loss of the Acheron and those on board, Tarentum had still fared much, much better than the rest. Taldryan had been hit hard, especially in the initial assault by the Vong.

The Corsair and the rest of Tarentum's ships following would reach Yridia in about an hour. As soon as they entered the system, Tarentum's ships would likely be met by the rest of the Clan's fleet and re-supplied quickly to prepare for another assault. It was unlikely that the Vong would come to Yridia. In the time since Tarentum's ships had left Antei, there had been no sign of the invaders, and everyone expected that the Vong were probably licking their own wounds, taken from the destruction of the Autarch, and perhaps the Vong were also taking over Antei as an occupied world. In any event, Yridia was likely to be one of the safest strongholds in any of the Clans. Tarentum would be kept safe, and prepared for any further intrusion.

The ships harboured near the Yridia system; and the Marauder Corvette finally healed her communications wounds. The master of the Creeping Death finally broke out of his brooding and gestured at his Communications Officer. He nodded slightly. They were all tired; but rest awaited them. For now, comm. ties were necessary.

Dark Greetings, brethren.

"An end of an era", as our Consul Sith Bloodfyre rightly put it. A part of the end transmission of the Run On of our Clan during the Great Jedi War: Incursion.

We, Tarenti, have come second in this event. Second only due to a few unfair means employed by the Taldryans.

Nevertheless, we have shown truly how well we can devastate in such a competition of gigantic proportions. We have come across as a great Clan. And quite a few Gold Novae will come to our Clan members.

Yet, on this happy note, I must add a little disappointment too. I was disappointed at the Praxeum's role in this War. Granted, most of you might have been busy with the RL, however, it would have been good if you told me, and your two Summits.

Still, only Deatharoc and I participated properly in this. Most of the In Character report I added above was from our Consul's last RO post. You all have received where it is taking place. Go see it. { http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4476 }

In any case, this ended well. And for one, there are news and other things we must work for.

Gladius has had a Leadership change. Mune and Windos, as you all know, have been good leaders. Now they have been replaced by two experienced and equally good men.

Kromtal Stormfyld is our Quaestor, and Frosty Romanae is our Aedile.

You shall be sending all your submissions to any competition with a CC to them and me.

This is an important topic: http://www.tarentum.org/viewtopic.php?t=43

I urge you all to make an account here and start reading up the posts, and if required put in your thoughts.

For now this much. Wait for the traditional Thursday report.
