Celebration 2025: A Booster Release

It’s that time of year again! The week where it’s full of Star Wars puns related to the dates.

Accordingly, the Regent’s office has prepared a full booster release for this week. As Bubba announced in his update, we did things a little differently this year. As we are celebrating the 30th year anniversary of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, this booster was tailored to highlight some of that history. Many of the items are inspired by key events in Brotherhood history and lore.

Many of the other items are just rare or highly requested items.

As usual, the Celebration Store will be open for exactly 1 week. Starting today May 4th and ending on May 11th. The Celebration store is full of high end, special edition items.

Additionally, many of the DB themed items will be released in the Ascent Emporium Limited store. I wanted to put a special highlight on these DB themed items and rather than see them buried in the standard stores. These items will remain in the Ascent Store for 1 month (enough time to consider them properly highlighted), then they will be relocated to the appropriate thematic store.

There are some really neat items in this release. A full list is provided below.

Upgrades

More progress is being made on the changes to upgrades announced in my recent post.

For starters, I have secretly updated all Clan Capital Ships. All of these vessels may now be equipped with Capital Ship upgrades I-III. That should allow Consuls and Proconsuls to really kit out their ships to the max.

Secondly, the Regent Staff has gone back to task on creating the new upgrade package for Armors and Weapons. This part of the project requires a little more in depth review, so it may take a little longer to hear more about this. Once we’re primed for release, I will give you all the details.

Seasons Cycle 2

Cycle 2 begins this Sunday (May 5th). The Ascent store will feature 3 new items. I’ll announce those when the time comes for them to be released.

As a reminder, participating in Seasons earns you a huge cash bonus. If you max out the trophy, you can earn up to 86000 credits. To my knowledge, this is the largest available event credit bonus ever given.

Additionally, hitting just 1 event gets participation marks for your clan and can help them to earn additional credits to spend on new things.

Changes to ACE Facilities

A while back I announced some changes we’d be making to the ACE Facilities. We’re still working on the details and releasing a detailed and comprehensive Wiki Page, but I would like to introduce The Prism

I designed this behemoth from the ground up. I took inspiration from the classic Imperial Shipyard design, but then dialed it up to 11.

The Primary Repair, Installation, and Ship Maintenance Yard AKA The Prism, is the new home of Arx Capital Exchange. This station serves as its primary headquarters and primary manufacturing facility. With the need for larger scale manufacturing, the Prism was designed to satisfy all the Brotherhoods needs for years to come. It features a massive ship yard, capable of maintaining hundreds of vessels, a proprietary “matter reclamation” laser array, used to strip asteroids of raw materials, and an equally massive and detachable hyperpace ring.

You can also take a look at the updated ACE possessions holdings. I’ve taken some care to curate ships and units which suit the needs of everyone’s favorite MegaCorp. Find the full possessions list here

Please feel free to feature any of these in your RPs and Fictions. Once we have a detailed wikipage up, I will let you all know.

Go’on git!
