Alanna smoothed her long velvet dress as she prepared to address the Krath of the Dark Brotherhood at the start of a new year.

"I come before you to give you a brief round-up of the events of 2003, and to share a couple of my initial goals for 2004.

The most obvious event for us all in 2003 was the split from Ronin's Dark Brotherhood, and our journey to the Unknown Regions of space where we finally came to rest here, on Antei. Our final freedom from the tyranny was celebrated with the first Jedi Olympics, an event that will doubtless be repeated following it's great success.

It wasn't long before the long-standing troubles between your clans re-emerged following the split, and Arcona and CSK feuded. One other event worthy of note in 2003 was the reintroduction of the Dark Voice. May it continue for many years.

Obviously there is much I have left out in the interests of brevity, and I apologise for any glaring omissions.

So now I come to my intentions for 2004. I will get krath.org back up and working if I have to take a PHP course myself to do it! Actually, I have a good group of people working on it now who will hopefully bring it under control soon.

We have an inter-phyle competition that we are hoping to run in conjunction with the Oracle's office towards the end of this month [i.e. when Trev's back :P], and there are definate stirrings towards a GJW...

2004 should be a good year!"

Whoo! Happy New Year Krathlings!!
