Well, well, well. It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these. It would’ve been up sooner, but it took me a week to remember how to post something to the website.

Let’s get started.

Great Jedi War In Review

For those who might’ve missed it, Taldryan came in third place in the GJW. Congrats to Arcona and Plagueis on their first– and second– place finishes!

Overall, Taldryan scored 66% participation in the Great Jedi War. Big thanks to everyone who found time to participate, especially with school starting back up again and on the heels of two other major competitions (the PLA-TAL Feud and the Pro Bowl). We know it’s a lot of work, and we appreciate you putting your best foot forward! In addition, 5 of our members—Vodo, Zentru’la, myself, Teebu, and Anders—participated in all bins across all events.

I’d also like to give an extra shout-out to the Taldryanites who won Novae for their excellent submissions during the GJW!

• Cassandra Oriana Tyris (Teebu): 3 Gold Novae, 4 Silver Novae, 2 Bronze Novae
• Celevon Werd’a: 1 Silver Nova
• Centam Javik: 1 Gold Nova, 1 Bronze Nova
• Nobilus: 1 Bronze Nova
• Seraine "Erinyes" Taldrya Ténama: 2 Gold Novae, 1 Silver Nova
• Shanree Argentin (Vodo): 1 Silver Nova
• Zenod'ande'rson: 2 Gold Novae, 1 Silver Nova
• Zentru’la: 1 Silver Nova

And another shout-out to Teebu for winning Second Hero of the Great Jedi War! (Man, that’s a lot of shouting at Teebu. Almost as much as what I would’ve done anyway.)

Well-Deserved Rewards

• Zentru'la: Cylinder of Taldryae
• Shanree Argentin (Vodo): Scions Bryar Lightsword

Return and Regroup

With the end of the Great Jedi War, Taldryan will be spending the next few months focusing on building community within the Republic. Fictionally, this involves an inward turn as Taldryan tries to prevent an uprising by forces who want to see Taldryan return to its Imperial roots. And if that wasn’t enough, the 19th Saber Imperial Remnant is still lurking around the edges of Taldryan territory…

Activities-wise, in addition to the slew of post-GJW competitions the Summit is planning and running, we’ll be hosting several RP events designed to give members the chance to get to know each other. More details on that as they’re decided!
