Aura Ta’var moved a tight station corridor with her former padawan Draxion Durk following close behind. The Zeltron moved with an almost supernatural grace as her azure blade deftly deflected crimson blaster bolts back upon their firers. Draxion moved steadily forward utilizing his former master’s tight saber orbits as a shield.

Odanites,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Glad to see you survived the holidays. I can honestly say that I’m very excited for this year because of all the big things coming out, not only to the Club but to Star Wars. Things like The Book of Boba Fett or Malak: AN OLD REPUBLIC STORY have reenergized my nerd powers. In this report we send you all a card, brag about Life Day, look for a leader, announce our Scimitar winner and throw around a lot of shiny things, so without further adieu, I bring you the news...

COU Holiday Card!

I’d like to thank Elyon for reaching out to you all and compiling your best wishes and memories of last year into a Holiday Card. This is something we plan to keep doing so if, throughout the year, you have something you’d like to share whether it be artwork or a story, send it in and it may be featured on this year’s card.

Life Day!

Thank you all for participating in our annual Life Day celebration! Community events went great. We had a lot of people in the roleplay and who joined us for gaming and the Star Wars Holiday Special viewing party. The competitions had been a hit too with 50 members participating and submitting 199 individual entries. Again thank you all for submitting your best stories, memes, and artwork or gaming with us for Life Day. Join us at the end of this year for another celebration of family, joy, and harmony!

QUA Opening… APPLY TODAY!

If you’re looking for a new adventure or just want to dust off the ‘ol leadership robes, then look no further than the Guardian Corps! We are currently seeking applications for the position of QUA and request those of able body and mind to step right up.

Primary Duties Include:

• Develop a House Storyline and run House events

• Fictional World Building

• Maintain day to day activity within the House

• Aid in Summit daily tasks

Secondary Duties:

• New member orientation within the House

• Maintain House Wiki pages

• Help run Clan Events

• Help run our Weekend Community Events

This presents a great opportunity to make history in Odan-Urr. Some prior leadership or RL equivalent is preferred and applicants should be able to remain for at least six months. What we're looking for is an active member with positive energy, ambition, and the drive to propel the Clan to greater heights.

If you're interested in applying or have any questions, please reach out to Turel and me via email or Discord. All applications must be in a pdf, covering the above duties and any plans you have for the House.

Have your applications in no later than 01/19/2022.

Illuminance and a look at what’s ahead

With the SeNet working feverishly to uncover the identity of this mysterious agent, codenamed “Robinson,” and uncover who is behind the assault on our satellite and the theft of intelligence, the Consular Conclave, and the Guardian Corps are hard at work building up and training their forces.

Over the next month or so, we’ll be focusing on House development by building and establishing the Houses in the system. Xolarin and Elyon of the Conclave have created a Quick Survey to get your input on the House and some things you’d like to do character-wise. There will be some story stuff coming from them in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for that.

For the Corps, Gui is beginning the initial phase of House development. There are a few details he has ironed out already, but there is so much more that you all can contribute as well. He too has competitions in the works and once a new QUA is chosen, there will be even more coming down the pipe.

If you’re interested in doing a little more or having some fun with your Clanmates and others in the Club (and getting some bonus Scimitar points for it), we’re always looking for volunteers to run our Weekly Community Events. All you have to do is when we put out the call for hosters, let us know what and when you’d like to run and you’ll be all set. After, shoot Turel or me a message and we’ll credit you the points. It's easy. It's fun. It's helpful.

As always, keep an eye out for the unit and Clan reports for the most recent updates!

2021 Scimitar of Lord Hoth December results and Final Rankings!

It’s that time of the month again… where we announce the winner of the coveted Scimitar of Lord Hoth Competition for December and I grant the Title of “Champion of Odan-Urr” to the member who has built up the most points throughout the year. You all have put in a lot of work on your race up the leaderboard so I look forward to seeing what you accomplish this year!

Let's give a round of applause for Creon de Neverse, our December Scimitar Comp winner!

Now I present to you the newest “Champion of Odan-Urr”... Aura Ta’var!

With the title comes being “presented” the Scimitar of Lord Hoth. For now, it’s only fictional but in the future, you’ll be temporarily granted the prize as a possession item. The only way to keep it is to keep the title. Continue doing all the things and the power of the Scimitar of Lord Hoth can be yours.

Ask:Revak/Turel

Zappius Asks: “Out of Revak and Turel, who follows the Jedi Code more diligently?”

Turel: “Turel is notoriously bad at following the tenants of the prequel era code. So Revak probably wins that one. The NJO one...probably equal. "well I have a partner and a kid so there goes that" - Turel on the old code”

Revak: “Revak doesn't live by the code as strictly as others may, he more or less follows them in a general sense, and when something arises that conflicts with the code, he goes with what is the logical path and by his own tenants.”

Zappius Asks: “What is the unladen speed of a mynock?”

Revak: “850 km/h”

If you’ve made it this far, I’d like to thank you for reading this report as well as thank you for hanging out with us over 2021. It was a hard year for us all but we are always here as an escape from the world. So come chat, roleplay, and game with the Odanites. Have a happy new year and we look forward to what 2022 brings!

If you ever have any questions or would like to tell us how crappy we are as people, feel free to contact Turel or myself. Until next time, may the Force guide you.
