Clan Update
Sepros
SadowTemple
It was past midnight, DarkHawk took solace in being at the palace late at night. Most of the personnel were gone. Besides him, only the security staff were present. He sat back at his desk sifting through piles of ancient texts and rituals, scrolls and books. Seeking to find any connection to an enigma he had been investigating back on Shaevalis Prime. He was unexpectedly interrupted by a hail from the office’s holonet. It was the production superintendent of ARX, he brought good news.
DarkHawk left his office immediately. He made his way to the palace hangar calling Ty to meet him at the Reaver immediately. The two met up in the hangar and DarkHawk handed him a set of coordinates. “No questions, no nonsense, just get us there fast.”
“Copy that,” Ty replied. The two sat in the dim cockpit of the Reaver and Ty piloted the ship away from Sepros. The encrypted message from the ARX superintendent still burned in DarkHawk’s mind. When the plans to the Harrower were delivered to ARX, DarkHawk paid the production superintendent a healthy amount of credits to only give him status updates. He also leaned on the prosuper a bit to ensure that when the Harrower was ready, only he would get that call. The Harrower was ready. At long last, the leviathan of ancient Sith design was no longer a husk in drydock, she was reborn.
DarkHawk leaned back in his seat, eyes narrowing as he played out the sequence of moves in his mind like a dejarik board. No one could know. At least not yet. This moment needed to be precise, deliberate. Which meant some deception.
A false rendezvous time had already been transmitted to the ARX support staff. They would arrive late, none the wiser. By then, his true guests would already be in place. DarkHawk reached forward, fingers brushing the comm controls. The holoprojector flickered, centering into the ghostly blue form of Lord Muz Keibatsu.
“Consul,” the Elder’s voice rumbled. His eyes, ancient and unyielding, bored through the projection. “This summons requires explanation.”
DarkHawk inclined his head, his tone respectful but firm. “My apologies, my lord. I assure you, the reason will reveal itself soon enough. I need one favor from you at this late hour. I require you and Warlord Hades aboard the Fallen Spear to these coordinates.”
There was silence, a pause so long DarkHawk felt his shields strain to hold back the truth pressing at the edges of his mind. He could not allow the Keibatsu to sense the full picture. Finally, the Elder gave the faintest of nods. “Very well.” The holoprojection dissolved into static.
Orian System
Near Wildspace Border
Later, the void parted. The Fallen Spear emerged from hyperspace, its silhouette casting shadows across the Reaver’s viewport. From the bridge of the Spear, the Keibatsu stood at the command section behind his pilot Fleet Admiral Blackwind. The Keibatsu’s presence is assertive even across the void. Warlord Hades was to his left, his expression unreadable but keenly alert.
The two warships drifted side by side in silence for only a moment before the stars themselves seemed to twist. With the thunder of tearing hyperspace, a Harrower-class dreadnought erupted into realspace before them, its colossal hull blotting out the stars. Black as obsidian and etched with Sith geometry, the ship’s arrival was a proclamation of power.
On the Spear’s bridge, Lord Keibatsu’s eyes narrowed, then lit with recognition. A small smile broke across his lips, sharp as a blade.
From the Reaver’s holoprojector, DarkHawk’s form shimmered into being on the Spear’s command deck.
“I apologize for the cloak and dagger,” DarkHawk said evenly, his voice carrying with aristocratic restraint. “But this moment required… precision. A shuttle will be dispatched to your vessel.”
His gaze shifted to Hades. “Hades, bring her home. The Harrower belongs to the Warhost now. Let her banner fly in Sadow’s name.”
For a moment, the bridge of the Spear was still. Hades’ head turned slightly, the light from the viewport catching his features. His jaw flexed as though he weighed the enormity of what had just been spoken. He let the silence breathe before answering. “Consul, I am honored,” he said finally, his tone low and even. Not a question, an acknowledgement.
DarkHawk’s hologram nodded its head. “There is no other.”
Lord Keibatsu stood like a pillar beside him, eyes narrowed, taking in the subtle exchange. Hades let his gaze drift forward, past the holoprojection, past even the bridge glass, until the Harrower filled his vision. The ship was a beast of legend reborn, black steel glinting with the starlight of Orian’s edge.
Hades exhaled slowly, the weight of command pressing across his shoulders like an old familiar cloak. “Then I will see her home,” he said, the words carrying both oath and promise. “She will not falter under my hand.”
Lord Keibatsu’s lips curved in a faint, knowing smile. He said nothing, but the Elder’s presence radiated approval and warning in equal measure. DarkHawk studied the Warlord’s reaction with quiet satisfaction. This was the moment he had calculated for. By placing the Harrower in Hades’ command, he anchored loyalty, responsibility, and pride all at once. The Warhost’s newest weapon would not just sail, it would belong to them, body and soul.
For another moment, silence hung. Lord Keibatsu’s stare lingered on DarkHawk’s hologram, as if weighing the deception, the audacity, the foresight. Then his voice slipped, not through the air, but directly into DarkHawk’s mind, cold and resolute.
“Let it begin.”
DarkHawk allowed himself the faintest smile, then bowed to the Grand Master. DarkHawk’s gambit had paid off.
The Consul’s hologram flickered, and before it dissipated, his final words lingered in the air. “Make her roar, Hades. Let the stars know Naga Sadow and her empire has arrived.”
The hololight died, leaving only the vast presence of the Harrower framed against the void. Hades squared his shoulders, eyes locked on the dreadnought as if already stepping into its command throne.
“Prepare to receive the shuttle. We’re bringing her home.”

Goodday Sadowans, The Sadow Broadcasting Network wanted to get out an update for the Clan as we head into another crazy holiday season. We roll into fall with a lot of opportunities ahead with multiple opportunities to score some cool accolades and pad our credit accounts. We will get into all of that here shortly. First, there are a few things to announce before we get to all the fun of things.
First and foremost, Summit would like to announce that we have a new member to welcome and get them comfortable and familiar with everything Naga Sadow. So Sadowans, raise your glass and open your arms to welcome Hexius to the Clan! Hexius is a brand new recruit for the Clan and Professor Sanguinius Entar will be guiding him on his path as his Master. Should you need any assistance through your transition, please reach out to the PCon or myself.
Clan Dynamics
We’d like to take a moment to provide an update on recent developments within the Clan’s leadership structure. Following the opening of our Magistrate positions, we received an impressive number of inquiries and several outstanding applications. each one reflecting the talent and dedication within our ranks.
During our deliberations, it became clear that we needed to be mindful of maintaining a balanced leadership structure and avoid oversaturating our Summit with too many positions. As part of our ongoing restructuring efforts, we’ve decided to fill only one Magistrate position at this time, leaving the second seat vacant until future needs justify its activation. This approach ensures flexibility as the Clan continues to evolve.
We want to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who expressed interest and submitted applications. Your enthusiasm and commitment to the Clan are deeply appreciated. With that, we are pleased to announce that Master Bentre Stahoes has been selected as our first Magistrate of Clan Naga Sadow. His extensive experience and expertise with Wiki development will make him an invaluable addition to the Summit team.
In our last broadcast report we stated that you will be seeing more CNS wide comps along with DJB wide comps. Along with those we also have the PCon’s Sadow Skirmishes and the Clan’s Blackguard comps. To reiterate, the Sadow Skirmish is a monthly gaming comp and the BG is based on total XP you earn in a month. So don’t sell yourselves short, earn that credit and earn that XP! Sadow Sundays is when we hit up some gaming, with Helldivers being a front runner right now. However, there are plenty of platforms at our disposal that we can bank those credits and XP with. So don’t feel like you cannot join in. Not to mention there are six other days in the week should Sundays not be conducive to your gaming needs!
CNS Current Comps:
Sadow Monrhly Skirmish: October Gaming
Blackguard: October
Upcoming Comps:
With all this at your disposal, there is no reason to miss out on any of the ACTION!!!!
On the fiction front, Lord Keibatsu and I have been scheming, more than once, I might add and with only a sprinkle of my usual chaos thrown in. The PCon has mapped out some incredible story arcs that are going to weave together beautifully and, honestly, should have everyone dropping LFG comments left and right!
Now, with all that and with the addition to having new magistrates in the mix, there should be flavors for all of us to enjoy. Should there be something that does not spark your creativity, that is when WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. FEEDBACK! FEEDBACK! FEEDBACK! Let’s hear it!
Blackguard
Blackguard is a long tradition within CNS. Blackguards title holders protect the Consul and Proconsul and the annual title holder gets to carry the Dark Sword of H’Kysch that Tasha Vel’Versea has been carrying around. So if you would like to have that beautiful weapon attached to your hip, then get to work racking up that XP!
