"To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing; it's about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It's about embracing the beard and not being afraid."

-- An Excerpt from The Bearded Tome: Chapter 19, Verse 3

Hey Folks,

I've been working on this report for a few days, but mostly I keep getting distracted by the wonderful offerings of the television, and I realized that I just need to bang this one out. So, here we go, fast and dirty, just like our Voice.

Competition Round Up

The Newest Ship in the Fleet

I recently just closed the competition for the naming of the ISDII. We had a lot of excellent entries, but in the end I decided on a name that represented Taldryan's overall performance over the last couple years. I also wanted to call to mind one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.

Therefore I present you, from the minds of Crix and Rian... The ISD Redemption.

As a bonus, I'm including Bobecc's Five Entries which were hilarious: Piece of Ship, Indestructible II, Destroyer? I Hardly Knew Her, BullShip, and Bambo III.

Plans Moving Forward

So what we're looking at for the moment is how we're going to progress onward and upward. Right now a lot of what we're trying to do is tying up loose ends on the fictional side of the Clan. We're going to continue working on our relationship with the Gray Paladins who allied with us during the Gathering Darkness Event.

Zoron and Rax will be leading the efforts for updating all of our military pages as well as coordinating some of our NPCs, and I'm going to be organizing the updates to our dominion pages with Halc. If you want to help out on any of those be sure to email us.

Star Wars Battlefront: We're going to see some news regarding Battlefront at this year's Celebration.
