December Report: And so it begins...
Temple of Sorrow
Sepros
The lights of New Primus Goluud danced through the city, illuminating the surrounding Wroshyr trees swaying in unison. The northern winds of Sepros was the tree's conductor, leading the behemoth trees in a nightly symphony. At the center, the Pinnacle Temple watched over from its high vantage point.
DarkHawk could see flashes of amber hues slithering through the trees surrounding the Temple of Sorrow. He had been glued in front of one of the temple’s large sets of windows. Sepros sunsets were nearly hypnotic, a bevy of deep colors painting the horizon. Howling winds roared and trees crashed together. Ever since coming to Sepros, he was convinced the forest was alive.
A sporadic beep pattern of an incoming message alert broke his concentration. Walking to the Consul’s desk the encrypted message alert flashed across one of the desk’s terminal screens. Decrypting the message an intel report label Confidential filled the screen. “Interesting…” he said out loud.
Activating his comms, DarkHawk switched over to a secure channel. “Ty what are you doing?”
There was a pause before a regal voice with posh undertones replied, “I am finishing up the repairs to your ship tommy-toggle. That is what the bloody hell I am doing!”
Trying not to laugh, the Consul quickly replied “I told you the cargo bay depressurization button was not properly marked.”
“Bollocks! You let all the parts for my speeder build get sucked out of the hold!”
“We got most of them back. Are you done yet, we need to get going?”
“Bloody hell man, where to now?”
“Find the Spear.”
Another long pause, “Wheels up in twenty.”
Heading out of the command section the Shaevalian paused slightly as he walked past the vacant east wing. One of his master’s teachings came to mind. To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. He picked up his pace and made his way to the hangar.
Gamma Sector
Tarthos System
A shuttle carrying the Consul sat down inside the Fallen Spear’s hangar. General Darius Blackwind and Prophet Leena'shylow met its passengers as they disembarked. General Blackwind took Ty off to the bridge both rambling on about ship characteristics. Leena directed DarkHawk to the Master’s Chambers where he found Grand Master Keibatsu tinkering with one of his many lightsaber hilts. He appeared to be in a deep trance, although that could not be further from the truth. Each lightsaber has been meticulously studied, each and every part intimately known to the Grand Master. Several pieces floated before him then one by one each piece returned to its station within the hilt.
The Lion of Tarthos effortlessly floated the hilt across the room stowing it away in a glass display case. DarkHawk had held his reverence for Lord Keibatsu. Not necessary Consul, Muz's voice crashed against the assassin’s psyche.
“Forgive my interruption Master. I am in need of more than just your counsel on this endeavor. I have felt many disturbances in the Force as of late. Broken images flood my visions with no answers.”
The Keibatsu nodded in agreement.
Handing Lord Keibatsu a portable holo-projector, DarkHawk activated the device and it began to play its message. Muz explored its contents. An eyebrow raised as his focus moved back to its courier. “Feel like coming back to Summit?” the Consul asked.
Lord Keibatsu relished in his excitement. He had seen this coming, as he had seen the chaos on the horizon. And as always, in that tumult was the possibility of greatness. To take up their birthright, to honor their namesake, the ancient empire reforged.
For Sadow.

Sadowans, what say you? Welcome to the Sithmas edition of the Naga Sadow Broadcasting Service! We have been busy over the last few moons so let me get this out of the way first without further adieu:
Here is what is in store...
Clan News
PCon Premonitions
Black Guard
Promos/Medals
Club News/Comps
At the end of October the Clan welcomed Grand Master Muz Ashen Keibatsu as the new Proconsul. Since then he and I have been plotting & planning some things behind the scenes and now things are beginning to come to fruition. One of the first things the PCon said he wanted to do was to start a series of RP’s for the Clan. Now we are on our third week of Sadow Shenanigans over on Discord. We now have a new place for the Clan to hang out Check out the newly created Sadow Lounge within the Dentavii Prime Repair Facility
If you have not jumped in this RP, get on Discord for some fun and partake in the shenanigans with your Clanmates. It resets every Monday, write some posts, earn some credits and buy some things!
Earlier this month, everyone should have gotten an early Sithmas present with the implementation of the DB-iversary bonuses! If you have not read the news check it out here, then go check your credit accounts!
Wait there is more! One other goody the Clan received was a great addition to the Clan’s and Houses fleets. Another trinket from our War exploits, the Clan received four squadrons of new fighters. Each House received a squadron of these bad boys and the other two reside in the Clan fleet. A huge shout out goes to the PCon, Locke, Quentin, Sang, Malik and Hades for brainstorming all the specs on the proposal. Start throwing these dudes into your adventures and let's read all about it!
Now, storywise GM Muz and I have been cross-talking a good bit of information at each other and our new adventures are about to begin. It is not just storylines we have been looking at either. We are going to see some structural changes within the Clan as well. One of those changes that we were looking into was establishing a training flight which would be home to newly assigned Novitiates. With the assistance of Professor Sanguiniuis Entar, we are fleshing out the final details to implement into the Clan. I would like to also like to throw a shout out to Envoy Zuza Lottson for all her assistance she provided besides answering all my gazillion questions! Thank you!
So get ready for some kickassery and opportunities to highlight your character into more CNS adventures!
In the meantime we have a couple active comps for Sadowans, by Sadowans. Jump in and give these a go!
PCon Premonitions
A micro-report: wherein Muz muses muzishly.
I keep talking about the importance of community to the clan, to the brotherhood. After all, it’s not the awesome plotlines or the graphics that keep us coming back for more. Sure those help, but it’s the relationships that we have with our friends that do the heavy lifting. The survey I put out back in November supported that, with 73% of people answering that social things are most important to them.
Now, this really doesn’t surprise us, but it does confirm for DarkHawk and I that we’re aiming at the right thing. And that is to tie everything we do to the social aspects of the club.
An example is our standing chapterized ‘Sadow Shenanigans’ role-play, which is in its third chapter so far. We’re slowly getting people acclimated to this new venue of activity, and paying a bit more attention to the inter-personal bits there. Our characters are not islands, after all, and writing your character alongside your friend’s character can be a very fun and rewarding experience, as well as bring us closer as a clan. Now, I know, that is a social setting rp, set on our hub on Dentavii. I’m sure some people will get a whole different kind of enjoyment out of actual action. To which I say “It’s coming sooner than you think.”
See, we’re working on some cool stuff for the clan, but we want everyone to be involved in it. That could be via RP thread, it could be via event, but the point remains: There’ll be a story behind the things that we do, and you and your characters can be a big part in how it actually happens (or doesn’t). We Need your investment. We want you involved. And that is really the driving force behind our plans. When we look back at history, I don’t want to see things I did or things the summit did, but things we did. I want to recall the crowning moments of awesome, those incredible bits of luck and skill where the magic happens because you made it happen.
Back to “it’s coming sooner than you think”, my initial plan was to start our first RP Mission on 12/18, but I think that may be too hectic, what with the holidays and all. Let us know in the comments what you think. It should run for two weeks or so, and will feel like a runon mixed up with some play-by-post role playing game. Maybe it’d be better served if we start in the new year? Let us know below!

Final Thoughts
Well there you have it folks, it's been pretty hectic and we have a lot in store for us on the horizon. However, for now, we all are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Sithmas Claus to see what was left for us under the tree. I hope that dude leaves us all some nice trinkets to play with. Kick back and enjoy the holidays with family and friends. As always, please let me know if I missed anyone or anything.
One last thing before I go......
Until next time Sadowans…..
