  Greetings!

  I am Krath Pontifex Hades and I am the new DGM of the Dark Brotherhood. Now some of you may know me, some of you may not. But those who do know me also know that I am easy to get along with. I am hoping the rest of you will come to find that out in the near future. But for now, I will give you a little bit of a run down of my history.

   I joined the EH TIE Corps August 1st, 1997 (yes I've been in the EH for almost 12 years now :P ). A few years later, in October of 2000 I joined the Dark Brotherhood and Clan Tarentum. I have held every type of normal leadership position in the Brotherhood from Phyle Leader (or Battle Team Leader) all the way up to being CON of Clan Alvaak. I have made many friends in the DB and the EH as a whole. I have met quite a few of them at various conventions and amusement parks around the US and I'm always up for more.

   In the EH TC, I held every regular line command position from Flight Leader to Wing Commander. I'm also a former member of Omega Squadron and the former Recon Officer for the EH for several years. I slid into semi-retirement at the rank of Krath Pontifex and Fleet Admiral respectively.

    But enough about the past it's time to look at the future.

** Competitions **

    Now I will be running a DB-Wide fiction comp soon, probably in the next few weeks. The awards will be both for your Hets and for individual placement. So participation is key. Details of this event will be posted in my next report, but it will be safe to assume that the winning Het will be able to add to their Order of Battle.

    Other comps will be forthcoming once I'm able to run them smoothly. Keep an eye out for more.

  
** Recruitment **

   Recruitment is going to be a big item for me. In the coming weeks and months I going to start pushing this across the board. I want members to start actively recruiting fresh faces. The more members we have, the more we can expand our Hets and our activities. So just keep that in mind next time you happen to run into someone who shares your like for all things Star Wars. Who know's, they might be our next member.

** Communication **

   Now some of the Hets have a problem with this, some don't. Dempsey's Het doesn't seem to have a problem with communication in the least and that is the kind of thing I want to see from the rest of you. The most active people are the ones who are most interested in either the material or the people involved. If your Het starts to communicate more that usually leads to friendship and friendship are the backbone of any club. If I hadn't made any friends in this club I probably wouldn't be here now. It's been a really fun 12 years and I look forward to many more. So Het Summit especially, start pushing communication a lot. You don't have to be sending a report or ask a question to talk to your Het. Keep that in mind.


  Ok, that wraps it up for this report. If anyone has a question or just wants to chat, send me an email or catch me on IRC. I'm usually there just about every night.

Till next time..
