Admiral Keldorn Cochrane Reporting [to@emperorshammer.org] "The
fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool" |

Report twenty-two is something of a bumper edition of the Training Office report. I’ve been saving several announcements for it, and hopefully these shall be of value to you. As a pleasant aside, I am privileged to have served as Training Officer for nearing eight months. It has been taxing, yet rewarding to work with you all and as such I look forward to remaining in my post for the foreseeable future. I would like to take the opportunity to pay tribute to the outgoing Flight Officer, High Admiral Priyum Patal. Rarely have I had the opportunity to serve with, and consider a friend, individuals of the calibre of the High Admiral. He has worked tirelessly for the benefit of the TIE Corps during his period in Office and has been the guiding force to the TC’s success throughout his service. I, and indeed the Emperor’s Hammer, shall be less for his departure. But I am sure my words are echoed throughout the EH; I do wish you all the best in your sterling choice of a ‘real life’. The resignation of High Admiral Patal leaves the position of Squadron Management 3 Professor vacant. I am not accepting applications for the post at this time. I was also tired of the boring design of my Reports. Thus, taking a leaf from many of my colleagues, I hope you enjoy this new-look TO Report. The need has arisen for another Training Office Assistant to co-manage with myself several of the Office's projects. Not to detract away from the duties of my first Assistant ("Number One"), I have appointed General Drake to the position of Training Office Assistant ("Number Two"). Congratulations! The Apostasy competition has now drawn to a close. It has been a very valuable learning exercise for me, and I am happy to admit that next time I shall take the advice of the Executive Officer and advertise far more lucratively prior to launching the competition. Despite such problems, the number of submissions I received did increase vastly in number, and the standard has been truly exemplary. My utmost commendations are extended to all who submitted an entry. Graphics

Event Zêta A special commendation goes out to Major Uther for his Fiction Event Gamma (Shakespeare) submission; one of only two to attempt such an adaptation, I found it jolly nice to read. A mention is also given to Admiral Darksaber, who strove to enter every single Event; sterling work! All the entries have been sent to the Executive Officer for inclusion in the next Emperor’s Hammer Newsletter. Hence, participants can also look forward to a Letter of Achievement for their efforts. I am also terribly happy to announce that I have finally correlated (based upon all available records; hence some inaccuracies are likely to exist) the IWATS Graduate Count. Included in the count are the best known figures for the tenures of Astatine, Havoc, Mell and myself. Therefore, please find below the recognised count as of September 11th 2003, published by my Office:
Obviously,
the vast majority of these Graduates were achieved under the three-year
term of Astatine (approximately 11,000). Given the present recruit climate,
a 2,000 increase since then is still rather satisfying news. Hence, all
those that have taken IWATS Courses recently may give themselves a very
large pat on the back. |

| In the process of correlating the count I am also proud to have had to approve 601 Competitions from members of the TIE Corps. I didn’t count the denials; wouldn’t want to scare any of you. |

The
Training Office Competition ‘Apostasy’ (labelled ‘TOC’)
drew to an end on Monday 8th September 2003. Originally begun by Dark Jedi
Master Darkov, the competition was continued by Krath Arch Priestess
Rage Akaido and Sith Battlelord Frey Gallandro
who did a truly sterling job in the management thereof. I cannot understate
the excellent work these two members accomplished, all above the call of
duty. Onwards with the results:
It was decided that we would bestow upon three members the title of ‘Order Champion’. These three individuals can be considered the standard bearers for their Order through their exemplary performance in the competition. Without further ado… Sith Champion, Jedi Hunter Nebel of Galthain of Satal Keto! Krath Champion, Jedi Hunter Demerzel of House Gladius of Tarentum! Obelisk Champion, Battlemaster Sukuth of Cestus of Tarentum! However. We also have the utmost honour of bestowing upon one individual the title of ‘Brotherhood Champion’. This member stood out from the other entrants by producing a truly sterling submission that is deserving of this title… Brotherhood Champion, Jedi Hunter Demerzel of Gladius of Tarentum! Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, onwards to the exciting results: Order of the Sith First Place, with 26 points: House Galthain of Clan Satal Keto! Second Place, with 13 points: House Caliburnus of Clan Scholae Palatinae! Third Place, with 10 points: House Tridens of Clan Tarentum! Fourth Place, with 9 point: House Ronin of Clan Alvaak! Fifth Place, with 8 points: House Oriens Obscurum of Clan Arcona!
Order of the Krath First Place, with 42 points: House Gladius of Clan Tarentum! Second Place, with 33 points: House Dominatus of Clan Alvaak! Third Place, with 32 points: House Qel-Droma of Clan Arcona! Fourth Place, with 23 points: House Acclivis Draco of Clan Scholae Palatinae! Clan Satal Keto failed to achieve any points.
Order of the Obelisk First Place, with 17 points: House Cestus of Clan Tarentum! Second Place, with 15 points: House Dorimad Sol of Clan Scholae Palatinae! Clan Alvaak, Clan Arcona and Clan Satal Keto failed to achieve any points.
General Events First Place, with 56 points: Clan Satal Keto! Joint Second Place, with 35 points: Clan Alvaak and Clan Tarentum! Third Place, with 23 points: Clan Arcona! Fourth, with 17 points: Clan Scholae Palatinae!
Thus the standings for each series of events are concluded. All Clans can be proud of their participation in at-least one of the Brotherhood Orders; some more than others... Now, the time many of you have been waiting for, the overall standings for each Clan within the entire Dark Brotherhood! Brotherhood First Place, with 104 points: CLAN TARENTUM! Second Place, with 82 points: Clan Satal Keto! Third Place, with 77 points: Clan Alvaak! Fourth Place, with 68 points: Clan Scholae Palatinae! Fifth Place, with 63 points: Clan Arcona! Following Dark Jedi Knight Dura's resignation, I have appointed my Magistrate, Sith Battlemaster Daniel Goad to the position of Preator to the Headmaster. Congratulations! I would also like to thank Grand Master Rapier and Dark Adept Patal for my elevation to the rank of Dark Side Adapt. 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. |
