A Message from the Quaestor

Hallo, my lektacular Qel-Dromnians!

I am happy to be making this first House report with our new Aedile, Sofila! She’s bravely taken up the reins after Archian and has already proven to be a quick learner. We hope to bring you many new stories together as we plot the course of House Qel-Droma’s future!

As the year winds towards a close and the nights get long and dark, I hope you all have a favourite tipple to cradle up with. Glühwein season has begun in Finland at least and I’m already a few bottles deep for this year’s tally. Still need to find which of the annoyingly annual blends is this year’s winner, so wish me luck on my quest for spiced supremacy!

Signed, Your Lekhead

A Message from the Aedile

Heeeellllloooo Qel-Dromians!

My first report, gosh. Didn’t think I would be up here, so I am very honored and I hope to meet everyone’s expectations of me!

Holidays are coming up! Remember to be kind to yourself and others. I will be traveling a lot but will be around! If holidays are rough for you, remember we are here for you.

Ta-ta for now!

House Fiction Update

Port Ol’val
Dajorra System
41 ABY

“Andt here’s your office!”

Sofila "Sagitta" Douve Armis took in the sleek and polished office space that still carried with it a certain waft of unwashed Bantha, no matter how hard the janitors had tried cleaning the air filters. It was a simple and utilitarian space with a polished black floor, modern office desk and chair, and a filing cabinet brimming with undone flimsiwork.

“Don’t vorry, you can style it as you please. Ve just try to return it back to a neutral state after the previous Aedile leaves,” Tali Sroka explained to her new second-in-command. “Emphasis on try.”

The purple-haired Mirialan gazed in wonder at the space that was now hers, swerving around as she took in every attraction from the stationery to the comms, and even private cafmaker. Running her green hands over the desk, she could feel it in her fingertips. It was all around her, electrifying and exciting. Potential, so much untapped potential. She could hardly contain herself.

“I am really excited to take on this opportunity, Miss Sroka!” she blurted. “I’ve been dreaming of getting into the thick of it and really show everyone what I can do!” She was practically bouncing in place, excitement jitters all over her face that was smiling so wide Tali feared it might break.

“You’ll have every opportunity to impress, Sagitta,” the older Twi’lek replied calmly, offering a polite smile in return. She could see much of herself in the young Mirialan, though she hoped her scars, though visible, were not as painful as her own.

“You won’t regret your choice!” Sagitta declared boisterously. “Now, what’s my first mission? Are our allies in need of assistance? Do I need to lead a daring raiding force to save a stranded comrade? Oooh, or maybe there are traitors in our midst and they need to be exposed! I’m really good at that!”

Tali stifled a chuckle, raising a gentle hand to calm the fresh Aedile’s excitement.

“All in due time,” she stated. “For a start, the recent events on Arx left us vith a surplus of reporting to do, andt vith Archian indisposedt, the flimsiwork piledt up quickly.”

Sagitta chanced a glance at the filing cabinet that seemed to creak under the weight of bureaucracy. A stack of flimsi sheets laid on top of it chose that exact moment to topple and spread themselves over the ground.

“You don’t mean…?”

“That you needt to clear the entire cabinet?” Tali chuckled. “Oh no, that’s just the indexing system for the actual archives in the basement.” The Mirialan suddenly looked very pale.

“Gets ‘em every time…” Tali giggled to herself.

• ”How’s Sofila settling in?”
  * Tali: “Like a fish to hardt vacuum. Erm, no I meant space station. No… that’s not it… Tropical oceans!”
  * Sofila: “... Thanks?"
