I`m aware of the layout problem & the invisible content in teh drop-down lists (used on the member games & medalboard)

both problems are about to be fixed

  Greetings fellow Dark Jedi,


   All of you are aware of the statements I made in my last report concerning the restructure. Well, now I can finally say it is upon us. As of tonight, you all have been assigned your new positions in your new battle teams. Look around you. Look at your fellow Battle Team members. They are your new family, treat them well and with respect. Each one of them is here for the same reasons you are, to write, to fly, or to fight. Together you shall forge a new identity for the Dark Brotherhood. One of strength and honor.


   As you can see, your leaders have been chosen already. The list is as follows.

Quaestor: DA Exar Kit
Aedile: (TBD by Quaestor)

Krath BTL: JH Desann
Obelisk BTL: DA Dante
Sith BTL: (TBD By Quaestor)

 
   QUA Exar Kit will be accepting applications for the AED and Sith BTL positions very quickly. If you wish to apply, please email him and myself. Deadlines for the applications will end once we have selected the right person for the job.

   Now, with this restructure comes new fiction that will explain our transition. If some of you are not aware, there was a EH-wide story arc that was enacted several months ago.  In it an unknown task force attacked Aurora Prime (the post can be found here along with all of its comments: http://eh.stryfe.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1304 ). Some of the comments are suggesting maybe the Dark Brotherhood had something to do with it. That maybe we allowed the attack to occur. We did not, and we must prove we didn't. That in itself is going to be a hard thing to do. First what we need to do is find our attackers. This is where the restructure ties in.


  All of the HETs have been recalled to The Dark Hall. There, while all of them are gathered along with the Dark Council. There, they are briefed by the Grand Master on the attack on Aurora Prime and the near destruction of the SSSD Sovereign, along with the suspicions of Dark Brotherhood involvement. Several members voiced approval of this, but their superiors were quick to silence them. It is then that Grand Master Hades announced that a Ready Response Unit will be assembled from all of the HETs assembled. This new unit will take on the old designation of House and named Drakonan. Within it, all members will be funneled into new units with their own unique tasks.

  First, the Sith. All Sith HET members will be combined to form a new Sith Squadron. This squadron will be flying TIE Interceptors and TIE Bombers due to the fact that the newer and more advanced fighters are needed battling New Republic forces.

  Second, the Obelisk. Some of the fiercest's warriors the Brotherhood has ever known. They will provide the ground muscle for this mission. When the time comes to retrieve information by force, they will be the ones to get it done.

  Lastly, the Krath. The Krath will serve as the investigators of this group, though all orders will participate in this primary function. Their task is to document and explore any and all information that is retrieved and report their findings to the Quaestor.

  This unit will be highly mobile and ruthless. They will be on this mission as long as it takes. They will be granted permission to explore the entire universe in the course of their investigation, keeping the Grand Master informed along the way.

  But the most important part of this new unit is the fact that it will be completely undercover. Your ships will not be broadcasting Emperor's Hammer or Dark Brotherhood transponder signals, they will be functioning as an independent unit though always under the direction of the Grand Master. Traveling through the galaxy broadcasting Imperial transponders do not open a lot of doors, but by traveling without them more opportunities for information may present itself. Your unit will be supplied by DB or EH transports far away from normal trade routes, and prying eyes.

  Finally, the starships assigned to this unit are also common throughout the rest of the galaxy, as to not tip your hand. House Drakonan will be supplied with two starships. One is the Frigate Swift Fury, and one Corvette from the CRV Flight Greed. These ships should provide enough weaponry to carry you through any random encounters you happen to find yourself, but if more is needed only the Grand Master may approve a temporary additional starship or two. The Sith Squadron Stingray will be stationed on the FRG Swift Fury along with two Transports from the Transport Squadron Odyssey to provide ship to surface transportation from the House. The Frigate will be House Drakonan's mobile home with the Corvette providing support when needed.


  It is up to House Drakonan to find the EH's attackers, and also to help clear the Dark Brotherhood's name. The coming events will both test your will and secure your resolve. The future of the DB and possibly the entire EH is in your hands.


----------------------------------------------------------------


  Okay, that is the story behind the restructure. I believe this high mobility given to House Drakonan will open up a lot of possibilities for all members and hopefully a lot of new thinking. The entire galaxy is ripe for the picking. Let's see what the House does with it.

  This restructure is the DB's second in as many years. The idea behind this is to give the members as much of an opportunity for innovation and endless possibilities as I can. This should get the creative juices flowing inside the DB again.

  I would like to thank P:GM - GM Havok for all of his help. GM Havok has been a good sounding board for me since my elevation to Grand Master. GM Havok has also been instrumental in the Shadow Academy. He has been constantly adding and editing the courses to create a wonderful experience for the rank and file members. His dedication to his position and to the overall betterment of the Dark Brotherhood is unmatched. He is an excellent DB member and EH Officer. For this, I am very proud to award GM Havok with the Diamond Sword for all his efforts! Congrats GM Havok!

  Also, for his outstanding work with the DB Web site and the complete overhaul of the site for the restructure and to give it a new facelift, I am awarding the DB Seneschal - GM Czul with the Grand Cross of the Dark Side. Congrats GM Czul!

  I would also like to award the Steel Cross to ACO Tuba for his outstanding work in HET Valadius prior to the restructure. He is a very active member of the DB and I look forward to seeing his career move forward. Congrats ACO Tuba!


   I would also like to congratulate both my MAA: DA Baron and HM: DJK Keth D'Jek for their promotions to Dark Jedi Master and Sith Warrior respectively. They have both done an outstanding job and I look forward to their ongoing service to the Dark Council and the DB as a whole. Good job, both of you!

That's it for me this time. I look forward to see how House Darakonan performs.

Goodnight.

I will be on leave from Sunday the 17th to Saturday the 3rd. If you need anything, I will be away from any interenet access, so I really hope it's not urgent. :P

For those people who usually contact me with profile restoration, please register and contact the MAA. If he is unable to find your records, leave me an email with your new PIN and I will check my local archives when I return.

Code (except for reports!) should be functional unless otherwise noted on the page. If you find problems, contact me at db.czul@gmail.com.

The layout will be undergoing some heavy modifications over the next 24-48 hours. For various reasons, some final updates were not ready for restructure launch.

 Greetings fellow Dark Jedi,


  As some of you have known, there are some rumblings of a restructure floating around the DB lately. I wanted to come to you all and let you know these rumors are... True. I have been in contact with many members and other aspects of the EH, gathering ideas and suggestions from many of you. After this was complete the answer was clear. We needed to get back to basics of how the DB flourished in the first place.

  Back when I joined the DB, in April of 2000, there were order-specific Houses in each clan. One for each order all organized under one Clan banner. We will be getting back to that, or at least as close as we can. I want to gather everyone who is of like minds into one spot. I want the Krath to be with their own kind and thrive doing what they love to do. I want the Sith to have a place to call their own, to fly against others in their group and to work as a squadron once again. I want the Obelisk in their own squad playing the games they love against each other as much as they want. This is how the DB started, this is how we became great. And this is how we will do it again.

  This new restructure will bring us back to our core roots, and our core values. We will gather together as one unit and forge ahead into the future gaining strength as we go. Each order will focus on their own activities while an over-all commander will be in charge of keeping everything in order. It will break down like this..

  The HETs will be disbanded and formed into a single House. This House will have a QUA (whom has already been chosen), an AED (whom will be chosen by the QUA after the restructure) and three battle teams. The three battle teams will be order specific. So those leaders chosen to be the Battleteam Leaders (BTLs) will also be in charge of their own order. Its a big responsibility, but one I'm sure those leaders can handle.

  Now the BTL for the Krath has already been chosen after a few applicants have applied but the BTL positions for the Sith and Obelisk are still open for applications. If you are in either order I suggest you email me with an application if you feel you have what it takes. The deadline for those applications is Saturday the 12th of June at 11:59 EST. Have them in by then to be considered!

   You will be instrumental in the re-birth of the DB, from the new QUA right down to the newest battle team member. All of you. Now is the time to get those creative juices flowing.  Let's get something going to coincide with this re-org. I am open to any and all ideas for activities, comps, etc. so let's hear them no matter if they are unit specific or DB wide.  An Idea I have is to have a run-on and/or a DB-wide gaming night. But I need to hear back from you.  Talk with your people and try to get a feel for what they would like. Let's get these lines of communication open and flowing again.

  We are going to make the Dark Brotherhood strong once more. I know you all are wanting that as much as I do. So lets work toward that goal together.

  There are some new and returning members that have popped up recently who are quite active. It's a good sign that we are doing a good job and the DB is improving. Let's make sure it continues in that direction.

   Let's get this done! E-mail me the app's ASAP!
