<insert cool report graphic here>
Before the report, everyone be sure to submit something to Vodo, Crix, Sklib and myself for the Taldryan Times. We need more content to get this off the ground. I plan to submit to this soon and hope you all will contribute too. If you don't know what the TT is, then check out past additions here.

Well, it's been an interesting start as Quaestor. I've hosted a few competitions already and had minimal participation. Honestly, this was something I was expecting, so I'm not bothered. This was further proved to me after the AWOL check was completed and our roster is now at 19 members. We have only 5 members that are under the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Obviously, we have a long way to go to become the powerhouse we've been in the past. I think we are capable of this, but we need more members and have a lot of work to do. I am ready for the task and hope all of you are as well. Now onto the rest of the report.

Also, Clan Taldryan awards were awarded on Domination Day! The following is copied from Vodo's report:
The following awards are given to outstanding members who contribute to their Battleteams, Houses, and Clan in a meaningful way. The Awards can be given multiple times and to multiple people.
Shazair Rathden and Sharad Taldrya Hett were both awarded a Star of Archanis for their unique leadership presences in a time of need.
Lokasena Corvinus was awarded the Crescent of Ektrosis for his work as an Assitant Loremaster and for contributing to the Clan fiction.
Andan Taldrya Marshall was awarded the Mark of Honor for his persistant work on the behalf of Taldryan at all levels of membership and position.
The following awards are unique, given to only one member and is relinquished to the next if awarded again. These members have contributed to the Clan's overall experience in exceptional ways.
Starrett
Starrett received Mav's Temperence, a unique award that is given only to those who recognize that by stepping down from leadership voluntarily when their time has come, they better the Clan.
Sharad Taldrya Hett
Sharad received Duga's Devotion, another of our unique awards for his steadfast, unyeilding devotion to Taldryan and his house, Dinaari.
Bubbles Taldrya
Bubbles received Jacs Perseverance, a unique award for her work guiding multiple generations of Taldryan's new members, including Vodo.
Congrats to everyone!

Kalus
Rybanloth System
1230hrs
The shuttle touched down gently, whipping up a small cloud of dust as it settled onto the landing struts. The long sleek body of the vessel contrasted with the sharp, ugly features that surrounded it. The sky, dark with angry black clouds swirled overhead, threatening to drop their sulfuric payloads at a moments notice. The planet Kalus in Taldryans Rybanloth System, was known as the Black Hole because of the planet-spanning mass of dark clouds. Little light ever made it to the surface due to the thick layer of poisonous gases so much that objects more than 15meters out became hard to see.
The Taldryan Consul was well adapted however. His large amber eyes drew in the available light and gave him a slightly deeper depth of vision. Twileks had been living in subterranean caves for millennia, and survival dictated that they adapt to low-light situations. The air was chilly, and the wind nipped at his exposed face as he drew up the hood on his cloak.
The message had given him coordinates on where to meet with this so called Dark Lord of the Sith. Vodo was above all else loyal to his Clan, a Taldrya in heart and spirit; but his curiosity had got the best of him yet again. Leaving no notice of where hed gone publically to the Clan, the Consul had only warned his Proconsul of a brief absence and had taken flight in the private Yacht hed stolen before joining the Brotherhood many years ago.
He walked along at a steady clip, always pressing himself to go a little faster until he climbed a small rise that brought him near to the coordinates given in his conversation with Darth Arebis. As he approached, his pace slowed and his hand dropped to his hilt. A shiver ran down his spine and the tips of his lekku tingled: The Force was giving him a sign. He slowly grasped the hilt with his hand, preparing to draw it from his waist at a seconds notice.
The sound of two blades hissed to life behind him. His Amethyst weapon was in hand and ready to parry the thrumming attacks in an instant. A crimson light saber followed by a second magenta one descended from two angles. Vodo caught the first, deflecting it over his head before lancing his light saber forward to meet the other. His attacks leapt backwards and pressed the attack once more. The two dark clad warriors wore tight face masks, covering their physical features in loose fitting robes. They burned brightly in the Force as Dark Side adepts; their preternatural speed was fed from the energy of the Dark Side of the Force.
Vodo dodged and parried, counter-attacked, and sprung forward with great agility, his powerful prosthetic legs propelling him forward. His target was caught off guard by the sheer ferociousness of the attack and lost his footing. The krath threw the long hilt to his off hand to block the horizontal blow aimed for his neck from the second attacker as he summoned the force into the palm of his main-hand and released the energy that was building up straight into the recovering opponent. The force of the push crushed the mans ribcage, causing several ribs to puncture vital organs.
Enough!
The second attacker backed off quickly and released the activator plate on his weapon. A tall Togruta stepped out from behind a rock outcropping. Vodo recognized the alien as the one who called himself Darth Arebis, A fair welcoming from a Sith.
I apologize, Consul Biask The Togruta moved forward and placed a hand gently on the equally tall Taldrya, A mere formality, to ensure you were worthy of my attention.
I dont enjoy being toyed with The Consul hooked his weapon on his belt.
The second attacker did the same and disappeared behind the same outcropping leaving the two Dark Jedi alone.
Im here to learn.
Youre here for more than that Im afraid, I can feel it, Arebiss dark raspy voice chuckled, And I am more than prepared to give you everything you seek, in return for your allegiance

This is unacceptable!
Hel-Pa Sklibs anger was easily felt by all present in the room. Andan Taldrya Marshall, the Proconsul, had gathered the available Taldrya to discuss the Consuls message. In voice only mode, it had said, My attention is required elsewhere for a short time.
Im of the same opinion. Our Consul has clearly deserted his post. The Clan cannot survive with leaders constantly taking leaves of absence whenever they so choose. I move for a vote of no-confidence, Sharad Taldrya Hett laid his palm on the Proconsuls wood desk.
Dont be too hasty Shar, Consul Biask knows full well his responsibilities and takes them very seriously, and you know that. I suspect this venture has something to do with the assassination attempt, Andan stroked is bald chin pensively.
Im willing to wait for the Consul to return. Im going to agree with Andan on this one, Lady Alanna Taldrya unfolded her arms from the deep robes she had donned.
The Tarasin Aedile of Dinaari again raised his voice, We can wait all we wish, but this is a matter of Clan stability. A lesson needs to be made. Shadows departure left a vacuum that was hard enough to fill, and with Consul Rokir so recently departed as well, we need to make it clear that whoever occupies that role cannot make excursions a whim.
Andan nodded slowly, This is true. However, we will wait no more than a standard week. If we receive no word in that time, well begin proceedings. Youre all dismissed.

I think that pretty much covers it all. Plenty of random stuff to fill out the report with, since this is my first one. ;) Anyways, go out and recruit new members, since that's what we really need right now. The DB is really winding down and it shows. It's worse now than when I first joined when Jedi Knight was the most recent game played (and it was 3 years old by that time). I'm not sure when the Rite of Supremacy is scheduled for these days, but we're definitely not ready now. Let's kick it in gear guys!
