Introduction

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the first report for House Sunrider. Unfortunately, we have very little time to cover things in detail given that the next Great Jedi War is less than a week away. So, consider this a brief “hello all” during the calm before the storm. We’ll do the proper celebration once we have the major conflict over and done with.

Fiction

So, first up we have a fiction. It’s a short one, mostly establishing that the two previous Houses have ended, and that the new one is being established. This was written in a largely hands-off style, largely to give those of you crafting personal stories a chance to shape things as you desire. A few events and details have been noted here, but it’s down to you as to how you wish to use them in any of your own fictions.

Palioxis Station Kiast System 37 ABY

And so the Houses had come to their end.

Tisto Kingkang felt as if there should have been more to that moment. In fact, he felt as if there should have been more to all of it. Some grand ceremony, or even a simple official recognition. Instead, each of Odan-Urr’s long-standing Houses were being disbanded, and a new one was being founded in their place. Lounging against the Aka’jor-class shuttle’s moth-eaten seats, Tisto drummed his fingers against the handrests, tapping them in time-with a half-remembered theme played out at the Happy Landings’ bar last night. Like most of those who had attended the final hurrah of the two Houses, he had been nursing a severe hangover that morning. Unlike them, he could at least call upon the Force to suppress the worst of it, and was coherent enough to witness their disbanding.

The shuttle peeled away from Palioxis Station, turning against the bright glow nebula and heading for open space. As it did, the passenger viewports were filled with the sight of multiple warships; scarred, dented and bearing the emerald sigil of Odan-Urr, albeit only for a short while longer. The combined forces of House Hoth and House Satele Shan had been gathered at the station, each handed over to their new crews and ready to begin their new service as part of the Vatali Navy. All but their twin Mon Calamari flagships had been claimed by the Empress, and they were gathering to move off to some other part of the Empire.

The rest of the story can be found here.

The TL:DR Version:

• House Shan and House Hoth are being disbanded due to a restructuring agreement with the Vatali Empire, as part of their acceptance as citizens.
• There was a large celebration on Palioxis Station. Alcohol was consumed and there was much revelry.
• The Vatali Empire have claimed ownership of the Houses’ assets, with the fleets being merged into the Vatali Navy.
• Tisto and Essik talk for a time about regarding the loss of both Houses, while Zanothi Nightblade pilots the shuttle to their new base of operations.
• They arrive at an XQ1 base on the outskirts of the Palioxis Cloud, where the new ships are being made combat ready and the station is undergoing last-minute finishing touches to its construction.

News

Obviously there’s the big one at work at the moment: The impending Great Jedi War. We have an Epilogue up, quickly introducing a few of the initial elements of the upcoming narrative and how things will be kicked off. That aside, we also have a few interesting big events taking place within Clan Odan-Urr as well.

Clan

• High Councillor Report #3: A New Chapter is the big fictional update, bringing an end to a few long-running story points, and introducing a number of major changes to our member structure.
• We have Coalitions being introduced as a major narrative change to open up new story opportunities. You can read about just what that involves here along with who has signed up for it thus far.

House

• It’s in this report, you can read about it here. … Well, that is not entirely fair, we do have one other thing happening right now:
• The House’s wikia page is being written up between preparations for the GJW and plans for the future. You can read about the first bits here.
• Our fleet is being named and we are in the process of buying up new units, following the conclusion of these two competitions.

Scimitar of Hoth

As a result of merging Shan and Hoth, this has opened up quite a few more entries to our members. To kick start things and give everyone a fair chance of winning in the long-run, all of our members’ activities from last month are being counted for the most recent results. As such, here are the victors for June:

1. Seer Archenksov — 82 Points
   
2. Seer Junazee — 66 Points
   
3. Colonel Mauro Wynter — 37 Points
   
4. Trainee Zhunix — 22.24 Points
   
5. Mystic Ethan Martes — 20 Points [Tied For 5th Place]
   
6. Ranger Revak Kur — 20 Points [Tied For 5th Place]
   

Competitions

Due to how close we are to the next GJW, there are only two competitions we have running at the moment. Neither of these is especially time consuming, and they are both simply an opportunity to earn a few more credits before the crunch. If you’re interested, take a look below:

• Seek & Destroy - It’s a flash version of Battleships. Quick, easy and lasting only a few minutes at a time, it’s perfect if you just want a good distraction or time-filler with a chance to earn a crescent.
• Rebel Dawn - It’s a 42 piece puzzle based on one of our propaganda pieces created by Morgan B. Sorenn, and it might be familiar to those who worked on puzzles in the past GJW.

Finally, here’s a list of those who have been the most active among our House thus far since its founding.

Questions

So, as is tradition by this point, we gave all of you a few chances to voice any questions you might have over impending events under the tag of #AskTistoAndTarvitz. Here’s what we ended up with, and our answers:

Ethan asks: “Will Tisto finally tie the knot with that one Gamorrean hooker? Will Tarvitz grow a fancy mustache? Can I get a butt-load of credits to buy a kickin' ship for the Wildcards?”

Tisto: Not a thing. Stop spreading misinformation. And as for the credits, we spent them on margarita machines and a zamboni.

Tarvitz: To answer that last question first - Help us win the upcoming GJW, and I'll see what we can do about getting a second ship alongside the Idiot now the basic fleet has been fleshed out

As for the mustache…

Apologies, but I don't think it would work. Not unless he changes careers to professional wrestling.

Len asks: “What do your characters think of the new house? What is on the distant horizon for the new House? #TeamMustache”

Tisto: "Well crap more paperwork..."

As for future things, I think we are fighting pirates or something.

Tarvitz: Well, for Essik it's just business as usual really. He was used to changing between ships, fleets, orders and the like, so this just feels like familiar territory for him. For Tarvitz, he is reserving any judgement until he sees more of it, or at least the threats it needs to end up facing. If they can prove to be an entertaining enough of a challenge, then excellent.

As for what's on the horizon - War and 'splosions. Lots of them, thank you for asking.

Blade asks: “When we put sunrider through their PT test, which space cereal will you be providing them for after the fact? What might that PT test consist of given they are based on a ship. I hear ship lengths are quite a long way to run.”

Tisto: Wheaties. 28 laps.

Tarvitz: Oh we are skipping the cereal and going straight to spinach with that one. If we're going to follow fitness, we might as well follow the master.

Given that our House consists of people who, by any other definition, might as well be one-man armies in of themselves, that might be difficult to decide. And then there is the Force to consider as well.

Please assume that at least one part of it will involve lifting a LAAT/i Gunship and running with it.

Conclusion

That’s all for this month. Next time, WAR.
