Greetings Voidbreakers!

Welcome, one and all, to the first Voidbreaker report of the new year! It is once again time for me to sing and dance for your amusement. Perhaps juggle and tell a few jokes. So sit back, relax, and let your Captain entertain you!

But before we get started, did you know January 2nd was National Science Fiction Day? Well, it was! In (belated) celebration of the auspicious day, I have scoured the internet for some lovely gifs. You’re welcome! And now, let’s get on with the report!

News

The Selen Development Project

The latest round of the Selen Development Project closes today, so get those entries in if you haven’t already! If you miss the deadline, do not fear; there is more where that came from! Our beloved Proconsul is already devising the next round of competitions. Do not miss your opportunity to add to Arconan lore!

In the meantime, all of this information needs to get onto the wiki somehow. Grot has been working his tail off with wiki updates, but there is always more work to do. If you are interested in doing wiki-work, let us know!

Job Openings

With Q’s ascension to Quaestor of Galeres, there is now a vacant Aedile position. This is a fantastic opportunity if you are interested in jumping into Arconan leadership. For more information, check out Q’s report.

But that’s not all! Atra is looking for two, count ‘em, TWO ACC judges! If you enjoy combat and fiction, then this is right up your alley. The application deadline is Wednesday, January 31st. For more details, check out the Combat Master’s report.

Building Within the Void Standings

The first round of Building within the Void has closed, and the points have been totaled. Here are the scores so far:

Character	Total
Grot	18 points
Tali	10 points
Koliss	8 points
Malfrost	7 points
Kelviin	4 points

It’s not too late to get in the running! We’ll be taking a short break to get the entries up on the wiki. Look for the next round of Voidbreaker development competitions to begin in about a week!
