One of the projects I alluded to in my previous report is that of Project: Guardian. General Drake will be taking the reigns for the day-to-day management of this project, with myself directing from the leisure of afar. This is an extensive project that may take a considerable while to be completed, and as such I am appealing for the following:

• Any Graphic Artists from throughout the Emperor's Hammer.
• Any talented Fiction Writers ('Authors') from throughout the Emperor's Hammer.

Working on the project should be a rewarding enterprise (both psychologically and 'medalistically'), as such, any interested parties should contact General Drake.

Captain Amadeo has completed the PHP-ification of the core elements of the Academic NeXus. This should make updating the site much more effecient that it was before. Therefore, members can look forward to a more dynamic and 'interactive' NeXus in the future. The change-over has left some links not updated, these should be remedied within the next few days; the general rule of thumb if a page does not work is to change the extension to .php.

Following the resignation of High Admiral Patal from his positions, Admiral Proton has been appointed as the new Professor of the Squadron Management course. I am sure he will continue the exeplary performance of HA Patal. Congratulations!

Another reminder; merit medals (ISM etc.) cannot be awarded for competitions.

Krath Pontifex Troutrooper has resigned from the position of Leadership Studies Pontiff. He was an absolutely sterling member of the Shadow Academy, personally processing over 200 submissions in the course of his reign. My thanks are extended to him. This leaves the post vacant, however, applications are not being accepted at this time.

I have added all the existing Shadow Academy courses into the database - while the actual exams do not work yet, I am now able to manually add recognition to member's profiles for the SA courses they have completed. Thus, if you would like a Course listed on your profile from before the split, send me an e-mail with the subject 'SA Profile' to hm@darkbrotherhood.org.

Applicants: There is a manual system in place for the processing of new members. Until otherwise notified, all applicants may submit both their Phase I and Phase II Apprentice Studies at their leisure, there is no need to await any confirmation other than the general ‘Welcome to the Dark Brotherhood’ e-mail (this e-mail explains the Apprentice Studies and provides the appropriate links). Questions should be addressed to me at hm@darkbrotherhood.org.

Vice Minister Verr is continuing his coding of the Imperial University. He is doing an exemplary job.

I have begun writing the creation of several new Courses to potentially be included in the IU. These currently focus upon historical interpretation of SW & EH canon, but I shall be contacting some members concerning working on other courses in areas they claim knowledge.
