Deputy Grand Master Report
Yay, report is less ugly this week. Thanks to Shin'ichi for his work coming up with the report headers (and the splash banner for the DGM site too!).
This week has been much more productive than the first. I won't bore everyone with the details as you already know all about the Feuds.
DGM Site: dgm.darkjedibrotherhood.com
If you haven't checked it out yet the new DGM site is now complete, along with details of all the major projects my office is currently working on. My thanks to Shin'ichi for the new splash banner, Benevolent for the code, and the unknown creator of the graphics! Thanks also to Kir who oversaw the making of the basic template while he was still DGM.
The DGM site will be the main source of information from me personally, so be sure to keep an eye there for updates to various projects, insider information on upcoming projects, etc.
DGM Blog
Those who have been reading my Blog will have noticed I'm using it more than reports. I've never been a big fan of reports, they get long, boring, and are rarely as informative as people would like. They tend to be more for reporting to the people above you than under you, and Jac knows what I do anyway, so... which is why I'm making much more use of my blog than anything else.
It's updated reguarly, with snipets of information you won't find anywhere else, so be sure to keep an eye on it every few days.
Antei and the Dominion
You may have heard that we're currently working on finishing off the Dominion website. Check out my blog for more info (as well as maps!). The main aim is to make the Clans more diverse, their homes more interesting, so be sure to talk to your CONs if you have any ideas.
GJW6, GJW6, GJW6... The Enemy Within
Now that the Feuds are up and running most of the DC will be spending the next four weeks finalising things for the GJW to ensure it kicks off on time. If you're not already doing so I recommend keeping an eye on the GJW Blog. I'll be posting an article on it sometime during the next couple of weeks, including a few more prerelease spoilers.
Next Week?
So whats on the agenda for the coming week? Well... other than the general stuff that needs doing I'm planning to resurrect the DSC Force Powers revamp project and get it moving in order to have the changes made in the near future. I'm also planning to codify (aka. write down) my ideas on improving the rewards and incentives for gaming, which will consist of several proposals from new medals, to improvements to the GMRG.
I also hope to start work on the think tank forums idea, which hopefully will be something that will be implemented as soon as the GJW is over.
"Star Wars? What the hell?"
I figure I'd start a section dedicated to Star Wars news in my reports. I feel many of us often lose sight of the true reasons for this club so I want to try and keep people informed of the big rumours and new releases.
Legacy of the Force: Betrayal (45 ABY)
The first in the new LOTF nine book series starts at the end of May, so smack in the middle of the GJW. There isn't much known about the plot yet other than that the Galactic Alliance (successor to the New Republic) starts acting rather forceful to get member worlds to do what it wants, causing Corellia to break away, an act the Alliance responds to with force.
That's pretty much all that's known right now. Boba Fett returns, Jacen Solo probably turns dark, etc, the usual. The big story though is the return of Lumiya, Vader's apprentice, who returns, presumably in charge of a revived Sith Order, so...uh... yeah, go dark side!
LEGACY (145 ABY)
The first in the new LEGACY comic book series also starts next month. Its set a hundred years into the future and begins with the Jedi temple assaulted by a band of Sith. Not much else is known about the story, but, again, go dark side! :P
I think the big armored guy is called Darth Krayt, and the skinny guy with the tattered robes Darth Talon, not sure about the Twi'lek with the Maul tattoos.
Star Wars Galaxies 2?
There are rumours circulating that a second SW MMORPG has begun development. LucasArts have sold the SW MMORPG rights to Bioware, who have recently opened a new MMORPG department, so all signs point to the obvious.
I'd say lets hope it'll be good, but... its Bioware.
That's all for this week. Be sure to keep an eye on the DGM site's blog for more regular updates, and all the stuff that I haven't bothered to repeat here.

Nice to see we're getting back on form with the 'novella length' reports, Goat. :P
I've never heard of this Legacy comic book....but I shall most definitely be checking it out.....
Like I said last week, I'm easing people in slowly, but... at least it had pictures! :P
LEGACY hasnt been publicised much outside the hardcore geek channels it seems. Its about Cade Skywalker, who is meant to have turned his back on the Jedi Order for some reason. The small snippets of information released also imply something along the lines of the Sith launching an attack on the Empire, possibly to sieze control or something.
Its being done by the people who did the Quinlan Vos series of comics, and several of the Clone Wars ones.
Novella length? This report is shorter than 90% of the reports I wrote as AED and QUA in the last few months. It's cerainly longer than some reports I've seen, but it's by no means lengthy or epic(Jac has a pretty good grip on that area, though).
Go read one of my SHW reports :P
