Units involved: House Drakonan
Description:

This is a fiction based competition open to the entire House. I hope that this can become an ongoing competition if there is enough interest to merit it. The basic idea is that I will select a power from the list in the Dark Side Compendium and you write a story or essay about one of three things: 1) How your character first learned the power. 2)A unique story where you put the power to an interesting or unconventional use during a past mission. 3) A story from the early years of the Old Republic where a Sith or Jedi \"discovers\" this power and how they did so. The entry should show that you have a familiarity with the power\'s DSC description and limitations. At first I will be choosing more commonly accessible powers, available to lower ranks. If at some point in the future I choose a higher level power that may not be available to you at your rank, you can write a story where you observed its use by another dark jedi or even an enemy. Be creative and have fun. The object here is to explore the possibilities available with the Force as our ally. I\'ll give you fair warning, stick to the DSC and its descriptions and do NOT tell me what \"Starkiller\" can do. I enjoyed the first entries quite a bit and I’m really looking forward to reading the entries in the next round. This time I’ve chosen Farseeing as the power for you to weave a story or essay about.
I\'ll be saving the winning entries to add to the EH fiction archive when it is operational and (if possible) add to the House website when it is completed. In the meantime there are medals to be won. I\'ll accept entries of 1 page at minimum to a 6 page maximum. Submit all entries to ascottcampbell7@aol.com.

Sapphire Star (Cr-1S) for 1st, Crescent-Emerald Star (Cr-1E) for 2nd.
