We will be ready

Orbiting Caina, Cocytus System

Rosh was standing with his hands on his back, staring coldly at the fleet assembled around the icy planet of Caina from the shuttle that was transporting him to the surface of the planet. Even there, in the middle of the space, he could imagine the freezing temperatures that many members of his new House were used to. A House of strong individuals, a House that, looking at the display of strength in orbit around the planet, was always ready for battle. He was there to ensure that this vision was not just an illusion, but a reality.

"Sir, we're being hailed from the Headquarters, our leader wishes to meet you immediately" - informed the shuttle's pilot.

"Good" - replied Rosh - "Tell him we'll meet as soon as we land"

Yes, there was a hurry, a certainty that something big was coming. And House Excidium would be ready.

Introduction

Greetings House Excidium! Most of you know me already, but for those who don't know me yet I'm Rosh Nyine, your new Aedile. I'm extremely happy to have been honoured with this position and as I said multiple times, I'll do my best to help Lucyeth to improve our House as much as possible. I just wish the rest of the clan summit had left me something to announce, they seem to have covered everything in their last reports! Well, let's get down to business, there's much to do!

News

Club wise it's all about orders now! Grey Jedi, mercenaries and loyalists have arrived in three phases and now that they're fully deployed we can say that they look really, really good. Some have already turned to those roles, and though it's hard to miss if you're following DB's news, you might be surprised of how interesting they can be. New rank titles, weapons and attires are just the surface, with new courses from the Shadow Academy ready to tell you what are these orders about. If you haven't yet, go take a look at them! Who knows, maybe you decide that you want to be like Bobba Fett and become a Mercenary or imitate Grand Moff Tarkin by becoming an Imperialist. The choice is yours.

I'm pretty sure you have heard about it, but our Clan has gone through a lot of changes recently. Two new Aediles, a new Battleteam Leader in House Imperium, Lucyeth as our new Quaestor... some old guys are returning (hello there!) and our good Rollmaster Cruise is always recruiting new blood to our ranks. We are busy preparing ourselves for what is to come, and the situation looks really good right now to get some training before the incoming "big competitions". Which leads me to the next point...

News from within

Alright, so this is for Excidium members only, so if you are not Excidium... well, just look away for a few minutes, ok? We don't want anyone to hear about this, but there's a rebellion in our System. Some people think that we're not fit to enslave, I mean, rule them and they have united to get rid of us. And by some people I mean a great chunk of our domains' population. It's in our hands to show them that we know about their concerns, and we care for them, so what about killing one of every ten men and put them back in their places?

Anyway, we need your help with this situation, so there are a few competitions that you might like to take a look at:

• Mysterious Objects - So what is this rebellion after? Show us what can they be seeking and we'll reinforce the guards around our precious artefacts.
• The Flashpoint - Do you know what is worse than rebels in your streets? Rebels in your ships! Somehow they have infiltrated our fleet and they have interrupted an important ceremony. Someone has to do something about it!
• Information Gathering - These guys were not happy enough just rebelling against us, they also want other people to join them. I don't know what these holos and flyers are about, but we'd appreciate if someone could make any sense out of it.
• Loyalty Prevails - With all this commotion we need to be sure were your loyalties are, so here is a small test to prove that you're still with us.
• Take to the Skies! - Ok, this is personal. Somehow the rebels infiltrated in some of our bases and now they're bombing my own isle. The previous anti-air pilot has been... decommissioned, so I need a new one. Now go and get rid of those sub-orbital ships before they destroy my new base!
• Down with the Oppression - Yes, it's true. We got spies between them, and yes, they're pretending to be attacking us. Luckily, we don't mind taking also our own guys down for the House's good, so don't worry for a bit of in-fighting to keep your senses sharp.

That's all for this small event we're having. Now, what about awards? Promotions? Yeah, we got some of those too.

In a Galaxy far, far, away...

Disney is raising the hype, we all know it, but the hype is getting so big that we're about to explode. Here are the news from Star Wars:

• This trailer from the next episode has made people flood internet with memes, throw money at the screen, go nuts and yell and I wouldn't be surprised if someone was running around with a fake lightsaber trying to hunt darksiders. It gives me goose bumps every time I watch it, so watch it (again, I'm sure you did already)
• Star Wars: Rebels is releasing their new Season 2 episodes and they're looking even better than Season 1. Want to know more about the new EU? I recommend checking this out.
• Some may disagree with me, but if you like to read, be sure to check Star Wars: Lost Stars. I've said it many times, but it's worth it and way better than Aftermath!
• Star Wars: Battlefront will be launched soon, and we all are waiting for it. Get your blasters and lightsabers ready!

This is too much for me to read!

Ok, I can understand you. It took me a lot to write it as well! This is a resume:

• There are new Aediles!
• We got a lot of crosses!
• Orders, six of them!
• Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer is out!
• There are tons of competitions for YOU to join in.
• It's true, all of it
• Just let it in

I'll see you on the other side. Meanwhile, enjoy Danger Zone, for some reason we seem addicted to this one in CSP.

PS: Don't forget to join Archangel's competition, Training Days, it has only two days left and it's a great subject for writing a story!
