Intro

Hello CSP! Summer is here and it’s hot. We have a few things coming up. So, pour you a glass of ice cold lemonade (or sweet tea), head to your nearest pool, and have a look at this report to see what’s coming up!

We’ve got Parabellum Cycle 2 Phase 2 starting up, a Clan event in the near future, and some highlights of our Clan and its members.

System Highlight; Ragnath updates

In the PulseFeed back in April, there was a fictional update regarding the Clan’s former home and Seraph’s moon; Ragnath.

It was a small moon with naturally low gravity, but ancient and advanced gravity generators gave it Earth-like qualities. There were several vast cities, seas, forests and plains. Ragnath was attacked during the Children of Mortis’ assault on the Brotherhood. The events took place during GJW XV. During the attack, the gravity generators were irreparably damaged. Imperial engineers kept them going for as long as possible.

After the GJW, during Kamjin’s reign, the Clan took over Seraph and relocated its headquarters there. With that change, we really fleshed out Seraph, the Caperion system and beyond. However that meant Ragnath got less of a focus. So we’ve made some changes to our former homeworld. The great generators and their backups have failed completely. The Empire has constructed 4 domes to cover the major cities, complete with new localized gravity generators. The areas outside the domes are unprotected. No longer bound by gravity, the atmosphere has vanished. The seas boiled off. And the remaining land is in a constant state of gravitational flux. Outside the domes there’s areas that have bizarre gravitational phenomena. One minute the gravity is safe and the next minute you’re floating away or getting completely crushed.

We made this change because I wanted the major storyline of the Brotherhood to have some impact on the Clan’s story. We didn't want to outright destroy Ragnath, as some of our members have fictional ties there. So I did my best to preserve the key spaces on the moon but give it a new distinct feeling. I know it’s a big change but it helps our system feel more dynamic, as it’s changing with the ongoing story. Feel free to include Ragnath in your fictions with these new updates at your leisure.

Check out the full event here.

A New Clan Event: Den of Syn

For a few weeks now, I’ve been working on a new narrative event for the Clan. I am proud to announce Den of Syn.

This 4 week competition will pit the Empire against bands of nefarious pirates from beyond the Caperion system in the Syn system while also dealing with growing problems at home.

The event will run from July 6-August 3. It will feature competitions including group RP, fiction, graphics, codebreaker and more. Your participation will impact the outcome of the story. Be on the lookout for launch fiction which I’ll post when it’s time.

Closing

That covers it for now. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or any of the Summit any time. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible. You can email me at [Log in to view e-mail addresses] or message me through discord.

For the Empire!
