New Masters Appointed Within Dantooine Jedi Enclave.

Few days ago, a new master was appointed within Dantooine Jedi Enclave. The Ceremony was led by Council Master RavenClaw, assisted by Master Finglas.

The New Master is Jedi Golds’Hark, one of the Jedi Consular and also the MedBay officer.

Since a long time, Jedi Golds’Hark joined the Enclave, and was mentored by Master Thot. This Miraluka lady shown strong links with the Force; she also had some seer talents. But is it within the MedBay she found a way to expend her healer talent.

Outer Rim Guardian chief Editor asked to Master Golds’Hark to share her best time within Dantooine Jedi Enclave:

"I am really glad to be part of this Enclave since I arrived. When I arrived, Dantooine was passing through a boycott and a crisis. I learned from the Masters at that time to Do the best and Dantooine got prosper again. When I was still at the temple once I've seen a dark energy coming from a male and female figures, which I couldn't recognize . Alerted Master Blade, at that time  that dark times were about to come once again. We had the Obelisk cataclism , just one year after my visions. I am certain that we will rise again , once more. We can not forget the ones who became one with the Force, and those who fell to the Darkside. But as long as Jedi with pure  heart remains in Dantooine, it will keep on being an example or perseverance, honor and make us reflect what it is to be a jedi "

Earlier this month, another Master was appointed: Jedi Otacon. The Ceremony was lead by Master RavenClaw assisted by Master Neren.

Also a Consular Jedi, Master Otacon is a quiet man; who had to hold high duties: he was during a long time Governor to Naboo, also a help to Coruscant before it was taken by the Darksider Empire.

Outer Rim Guardian Chief Editor asked him to share his best memory about the Enclave:

“I've been a member of DJE for several years now.

I started as a Quarton and after a period of training under Master Artiste, I became a Jedi Knight.

Being in this community has been such an amazing experience; the learning process, the brotherhood and the people.

A year ago I had the opportunity to train my first padawan Jarael Kimono, she made it to Knight and has shown great attitude and skills.

Right now (present moment) I am a Jedi Master following the Consular Path, among Dantooine Diplomats.

What amazes me is that, even in though situations, our brothers and sisters have been together facing all the adversities.

Recently, as some of you may know, the Dantooine Enclave has been through a period of shadows, the Enclave divided into 2 groups, because of different views among the council members about the group itself.

Some members ( the minority ) wanted to let this community go, as they could not continue having all responsabilities on their shoulders.

This opened a dispute about the leading figures and who should have been worthy of taking care of things.

This minority was more inclined to let this Enclave go and die, keeping their status, rather than handling over tasks and responsabilities.

This is probably my best time in DJE, what I saw is the evidence that we can do it and bring this Enclave to its old glory.

Even in this difficult situation, this community showed to be stronger than ever and rised from its ashes.

Our hills are being populated again, new learners started to appear.

A new generation is born.”

The Redation team wish to both Masters the very best for them new duties.

Dantooine - Ceremony after Obelisk Crisis.

The Jedi Temple held a sad, but an important event. Padawan Haden Gnar became one with the force, as his funeral was attended by a number of Jedi and visitors from the Dantooine enclave and other planets of the Galaxy. Padawan Gnar was remembered in the ceremony attended by students, Padawans, Jedi Knights and Masters of the Enclave.

The ceremony started with a welcome speech by Council Master Sha'ira Luroon.

"Thank you all for coming this afternoon. Today marks many things. Dantooine faced a great crissis and for a long time it appeared that all hope was lost. Like many times before however the people fought and persevered over all obsticles. Despite the victory it was not without great pain and sacrifice. We are here to take time and remember all that happen in this crissis and the people we lost. In the operation to stop the Obelisk for good, Padawan Haden's life was extinguished during the final battle. Victory can never be achieved without hard work and sacrifice. Padawan Haden Embodied these traits."

As everyone was remembering all the good deeds of Haden, some of the Jedi Masters and Knights gave a short speech telling everyone about the heroics of the Padawan and the celebration of his life.

"Dear Brothers and Sisters, As we all know, after some long fight, we were able to end to the Obelisk's threat on outskirts' area. Through this time Dantooine has suffered so many damages that would include the devastation of the outskirts area, death of wild life in the surroundings of the Obelisk and also the loss of too many lives, which would include the Darksiders who came for the Obelisk's Power, Dantooine's Citzens that depended on that area for feeding their families and also some of our members, who died fighting bravely to bring the harmony back to our home and make it once again a safe place for the inhabitants.

The Jedi life is not an easy path, we all are warned about it when we chose to follow this path and here in front of us lies the body of Padawan Haden, who honored his duties as a Jedi but was chosen to join the Force, he offered his life to protect the our home and the citzens. It's through his example that we shall honor the memories of those who lost their lives during this time that our home was harmed by the Obelisk. Because of them we can now enjoy once again the cool and fresh air of Dantooine's environment and the peace it brings to us." - Master Arth Darkwatch

"This is a bittersweet moment. We are here today to say goodbye and to celebrate a rebirth. A rebirth of this planet and the chance of a better tomorrow but this rebirth did not come without cost. One of our own has fallen and it is a reminder that all life is sacred. Each action that we take is by choice and therefore it is sacred. The life that we live is a sacred dance lived throughout this present moment. When we are able to live in the moment and make choices with a pure heart and a clear mind in these moments which are so fleeting we are a part of helping to create a better world. Let us not forget Haydens sacrifice." - Master Destiny Vuissent

"On my home planet, we say "First to fight." During this decisive battle, Haden was the first to fight for liberty of life on this planet. He represented all that a Jedi could during his last moments - courage, determination and a will to contribute to a better Galaxy. It is my honor to say farewell, your posture will be an inspiration to a generation of many young Jedi. Rest peacefully in the force. Your destiny was not a small one, you helped to preserve an ultimate symbol of hope in the Galaxy, Dantooine. Thank you." - Sir Shiro, leader of the task group which Padawan Gnar was a part of.

"Amazing hmm.. we could be enemies at one point and then turn a new leaf. Haden was a strong man, as strong as one could be. But before he found his home, he was tried. Several trials the man went through and he passed through all of them. They gave all him all they got, and he never gave. He was an unselfish man, humble and kind. A better Jedi than what I could ever hope to be. But above all, he was our friend. Our teacher. He was you and he was me. He was the embodiment of light."

Everyone honored Padawan Haj'ra, as his body slowly turned to ashes.

The ceremony was closed with an awards ceremony. The "Guardian of Peace" medals were issued to all those who contributed to the victory during the day and were awarded by the Governor of Dantooine, Nomi Drewmoore.

Dantooine still combats a number of aftermaths resulting from the Obelisk Crisis. Although the battle was won, there are still rebuilding efforts taking place around Dantooine.

Dantooine - Upgrade of the DJE frigate New Hope

After the need for high-class defense capability was proven by the recent Obelisk Crisis that almost terminally endangered Dantooine, funds for further development of the DJE New Hope strident-class frigate have been secured. Previously, the frigate has taken part in space missions only as a support vessel with primarily medical facilities. After the upgrade is complete, the frigate will now also function as a military ship. The vessel will keep its current form of operations and will still remain a medical frigate, however it will also implement the operations of a military ship.

Expenditure on making the New Hope a military grade vessel will ensure that it will be able to strengthen its place as one of the Dantooine's main means of defense and that the involvement in military missions will strengthen the role of the Jedi as peace-keepers. Furthermore, the New Hope will no longer be vulnerable to other hostile military frigates and will be able to operate safely without any additional escort.

The DJE New Hope is a multi purpose specialist medical and military strident-class frigate. The design mainly features a highly effective hyper drive, making the use of enlarged versions of the J-77 Event Horizon thrusters to enhance its maneuverability and high speeds within its areas of operation. The hull features innovative, yet medium/light armoring solutions to maximize potential speeds. The upgraded deflector-shield generators provide the ship with a good amount of protection against damage to the hull from enemy firepower. In its armament, the New Hope operates 3 turbolaser batteries, 3 heavy ion batteries and one mass driver missile launcher. The frigate dedicates a significant amount of its interior for high quality medical units, utilizing the same technologies as those used in the DJE medbay on Dantooine. The recently refurbished docking area of the New Hope allows space for up to 12 fighter jets.

Master Balmung's Funerals Ceremony

Few days ago, Master Balmung went to chase a darksider on Bakura, but the Jedi Master met his fate there. He had faced a unknow darksider who duelled him, then killed him after a tough fight. A group of bounty hunters found his remains, his head was missing. Master Balmung's body was bring back to Dantooine, then autopsied by the medic officer in charge. After this, the Masters of the Enclave who were Master Balmung's closest friends prepared his funerals, lead by Council Master Neren, assisted by Master Arth and Master Finglas. The Three Masters spoked about them late friends, and Master Finglas opened the Funerals ceremony by theses words:

"We all know that one day will die, in battle or in your sleep, having lived the noble life of a jedi. None can state with clarity what awaits after you become one with the force, but your journey into the netherworld will be instantaneous.

in my research studies I have discovered that some sages among the Whills once believed otherwise, holding out the possibility of existence in this world even after Jedi have shed their physical forms. Existing as luminous beings, such Jedi could retain the identities they held before death, but they would be unable to interact with the physical world. However, the idea of this existence stems from stories and theories -- Not reality.

Though we believe that all things are possible through the Force, as physical beings we are grounded, and our understanding has limits. Instead, think of these stories as metaphors for the Jedi Code's final precept: There is no death there is the Force.

Balmung was a dear friend of mine, we have known each other since the beginning of our time as students. Together we grew and learned through the force, he and I went to many worlds and helped many people, he even helped me find my lost family on Ryloth. He was the living embodiment of what it meant to be a Jedi and I am happy to have called him my brother."

Master Arth said:

"My brothers and sisters, today we are here to give our good bye to Master Balmung. When I first arrived to this Enclave I had the pleasure to meet him and he was an important person during my Student time and my Padawan training. I don't know how many of you had the pleasure to know him, but those who did will agree that he has not been a good Jedi, but also a good friend. The way he used to welcome us was over any Jedi greet and his presence was always a pleasant one. As a Jedi he was always seeking for informations according to his Sentinel Path, always risking his life to bring us the informations we needed to build the peace in Dantooine and around the Galaxy and was this way that he offered his life to support us with our mission. When all of us decided to become a Jedi we were warned about the risks of this life and now here lies our good friend and brother who gave his life to protect others." After these words, Master Arth placed in the hand of the late Jedi his ligthsaber and added: "It belongs to you my brother. Thank you for all your efforts to help us keeping the peace in Dantooine and around the Galaxy. Rest well."

Then Council Master Neren spoke with a lot of emotion:

"Dear Friends and Family. I had requested Master Arth to call for this gathering to honor the memory of our late Master and friend, Balmung. Master Balmung was a dear friend for me, but also for many people within our Enclave, like Master Arth, Master Marina, Master Finglas, Master Sha'ira... And many other people across our galaxy, Jedi or non Jedi. Master Balmung was a friendly Jedi, as all of us should be. He was also a dedicated Master to our Enclave. I remember Balmung as Padawan, I was knighted since few time the first time I saw him. His Mentor was Master Laura... She trained him until he was knighted and followed the Sentinel path. And soon, he became a valuable element in the Sentinel's group. He was also a good trainer for combat. Master Balmung was in front line when the Disciples of Ragnos attacked Dantooine after he was in the group who found the obelisk, thanks to him, and the whole Enclave, we won this tough battle. Before she was a Jedi of our Enclave, Nel'va kept him as her prisoner, tortured him, and engraved her name on his chest... We set him free... Regardless of all of those events, Master Balmung was always here for the Enclave, for his Sentinel fellows. Master Balmung have many quality, and if I had to pick one, he was a jolly good fellow, always cheering people around. Now our friend is one with the Force, forever in our memory, forever a voice we can hear trough the Force "There is no dead, there is the Force..." Balmung, my Brother, Rest in peace.

After the speeches, the three masters ignited the funeral stake.

The ceremony was disturbed by some strangers from Dantooine but nothing else to note.

Dantooine: Murder of a Denizen.

In the early hours of the afternoon, Dantooine became scene of a terrific crime, when Denizen Nithiel Colton was found dead in the Crystal Cave. According to the first investigations, the young woman in her middle twenties got strangled to death with the help of the force. The Jedi Knight Aurelia Mal'veah got found leaning over the Body of the Dantooine Citizen, by Student Brianna Akribos, Member of the local Jedi Enclave.

Student Akribos notified the Jedi Enclave suddenly after the dead woman got found. Immediately Council Master Thot Mistwalker and Neren Valis made their way to the cave to find out about the backgrounds of the crime. The Masters faced a hostile Jedi Knight, immediately igniting her Lightsaber, but later shut it down with an apologize. According to the Interrogation of either Student Akribos and Jedi Knight Mal'veah, the young Jedi Knight got taken into custody until further investigations have been made. „Well, i was going to come here for medidations. You know the echoes i've mentioned, i am trained to track Echoes and here i can have the best environment for training. Anyways when i came here, the woman was still alive, sitting with her back towards me. I greeted her and tried to ask her, what she is doing here. I remember her from yesterday, the dress, the hair, even the smell of it, she had troubles with some Kath hounds she said, but now i am not sure anymore if that was all of the story. Anyways, she didn't react and when i stepped closer i saw how she started to struggle. Holding her hands and arms as to pull away invisible hands on her throat. She gasped, when i reached her and i tried to block any force activity against her, by shielding her with my abilities in Tutaminis. But i was too late. She right sunk into my arms when i was about to use it. Then i heard someone coming, turned around and just noticed a Student Uniform. I did not want a Student to witness murderer on Dantooine so i ordered her briefly to get some help over. I heard her shouting into the Comlink, but haven't registered her words as i tried to use first aid on the woman with the help of the force. Then you came along.. " -----

Aurelia Mal'veah giving her version to protocol.

The Jedi Enclave already has conceded to let local Authorities join the Investigations, when rumours came up that the Jedi would try their Knight behind the curtains and closed to the public. 

An incident? The local Nithiel Colton was seen at the Jedi Enclave, just a day ago. Witnesses have told, that she was wounded, but treated well by the Jedi of the Enclave and suddenly taken to the Med Bay to heal the wounds. Investigations have lead to the fact, that the young woman got attacked by Kath Hounds, usually peaceable.

The local Denizens were asked to stay calm and trust into the investigations of either the Jedi Order and the Guards. Further Informations to come..

Hutt Council reorganises at Odominic Night

A large crowd gathered at the StarLight room in Kessel Gate to discuss business with the displaced Hutt Council. In attendance was Issulla the Hutt, Gilbar the Hutt and Yosia the Hutt of Odominic, speaking on behalf of their recognized Hutt Council leader Belutric of Nasirii.

Business got underway with the first speaker, Ketra Solus. She discussed her search for the carbonite frozen Shaka. Solus indicated that she had some leads and was close to finding and procuring the slab for clan Odominic. She also stated that their have been bounties placed on Issulla for her leaving Nar as a rebel and not submitting to Sihivus Vernes tyrannical rule, to which Issulla simply laughed but said nothing.

Issulla's Majordomo then added that there were large bounties placed on Verne, Morrigan the traitor, Sinola, and Yarel for crimes against the Hutt Council and treason.

Next up was Meeka D'Lux, owner of the D'Lux Hotel located just doors away from the Black Hole Casino. She asked about the financial stability of Nar, and pointed out how her business has started to fail since the take over of Nar and martial law. She asked for advice from the Hutt Council and was told to cut her loses and burn her business now that Nar was under martial law. She returned to the crowd without further comment.

Next up was Envy a member of the Kessel Gate Inner Circle. She asked Gilbar if he would loan some girls to a fundraiser in the near future. Her idea is to have a bikini star ship wash at the Gate to try to raise funds. Gilbar chuckled and said the Council will help in any way they could to help repay the good will offered to the displaced Hutt Council by the Gate.

Next up was notorious space pirate Sharizar Stormfrost of the well know Crimson Talon. She talked with Issulla at length about plans, but this reporter was threatened with death if disclosed so the topic has to remain a mystery to all who didn't attend the meeting of the Hutt Council being called Odominic Night.

With the final business of the night discussed.. the patrons made their way to the Rocket Down cantina for drinks or to the landing bay to depart.

Odominic Night will reoccur each Thursday at 7pm on Kessel Gate until Nar Shaddaa is back under Hutt Council rule.

DJE back GLA Once More

Galaxy News reported the brewing crisis on Nar Shadaa between the Galactic Liberation Alliance and the infamous intergalactic criminal known Sihivus Verne. The Liberation Alliance now lead by the Jedi Tekisui have also focused efforts in pushing the Sith from the moon. 

"Our own reports show activity within the Enclave after recent events and even news that the Dantooine Enclave will give some measure of support in GLA's cause on the moon. DJE is no stranger to Nar Shadaa having been involved in numerous situations such as the rescue attempt at Shaka The Hutts Palace. The large scale battle to save Thalia Janick from execution at the hands of the Revenant Armada and also events which lead to the Grand Hutt statue collapsing into the Black Hole Casino. We at O.R.G wonder if these past events will have completed soured their relationship with the Hutt Council.

Dantooine: A discrete wedding.

Few hours ago, Master Neren Valis gave a wedding service to the owner of Ubelia Corporation, Rhys Ubel and his fiancée and partner in business, Miss Onla Milia.

Settled on Dantooine since about a year, Sir Ubel developed trade with Dantaris and farmers to know the traditional plants used by the natives while his partner, Onla Milia used her vast knowledge in chemistry and biology and the sharp technologies used by the Core Worlds to combinate and create new drogs.

The Dantooine Jedi Enclave medlab tested, with a significant result, some of those new drugs to treat the flue caused by the cold wave which strike the little green planet recently.

Both choose Dantooine to settle them laboratory and facilities due to the special flora which can be found here.

The private wedding ceremony was held nearby a lake, located in a forest at few hours of the Enclave. The best men were Sir Nashah Kugo, a freighter pilot and personal friend of Sir Ubel, and the security officer, Sir Rast Gramont, both working for Ubelia Corporation.

The new couple planed a honeymoon on Coruscant or Corulag. But with the amount of work they have currently, the lovely plains of Dantooine is surely the place of them choise.

Dantooine: Criminal arrested after a search.

Within 24 hours of a seemingly peaceful day on Dantooine, at first unknown suspect has attacked and mildly injured three people in seperate incidents. Shortly after the third incident, DJE joined efforts with a GAR patrol to track the wanted criminal down and lead to an arrest. Shortly after the search began, one of the Jedi Knights in the Enclave sighted near the temple which appeared to fit the description of the suspect.

DJE and several GAR troopers quicklyarrived at the scene and arrested the woman responsible for all the three incidents. She was then taken to the Dantooine Guard outpost where she will be questioned in regards to her actions. Surprisingly, the woman did not kill her victims and ensured that they would not suffer such consequence. All three victims are fine and did not sustain any serious injuries.

Dantooine: DJE rescue efforts to Helios.

It was always known that the Jedi are peacekeepers who perform their best to provide relief to those who are in life-threatening situations. The new state-of-the-art DJE medical frigate 'New Hope' is since some time operating in different areas where its presence is required. The 'New Hope' has just returned from its biggest operation so far.

An afternoon transmission received by a DJE station was far from usual. The station received a distress signal from the 'Colosses' military frigate belonging to a sovereign military alliance. The automated distress signal was sent from the platform to the New Hope and then relayed back to Dantooine.

Mission planning began as the Commanding Officer of the New Hope made a decision to launch an rescue operation to the planet of Helios, which was an ex-military colony. Involved in this operation were Dantooine Guard members, along with around 8 Jedi from the Enclave.

Upon arriving to Helios, two transport shuttles were launched down to the surface. Due to a high concentration of smog in the atmosphere breathing apparatus was recommended, however not mandatory. The crew of the rescue efforts scanned the area, beginning a relatively lengthy operation.

The Colosses was found, however the crew has not survived the impact. The rescue team has found a darksider posing as a crashed marine, but this attempt was unsucessful and the darksider was later taken care of. It was found that the Colosses was transporting an ancient Sith strength datacron and this in effect was the reason why it was attacked.

1IC of the 'New Hope', Sir Shiro, has given a summary of the crash.

"Although for the Colosses, Helios was not an allied military installation, the bridge commanders assumed that it was their best option to see if they would gain an advantage in approaching the planet, as they were pursued by the Sith vessel. In my assumption, I think that the Colosses was critically damaged when nearby the order and fought until the moment it crashed near the old military installation."

The DJE 'New Hope' performs such duties as a part of its standard operations programme which aims to provide medical help in life-threatening situations across many different sectors and systems.

Senate: Vice Chancellor quit her position

In a long communiqué, Sapphire Tafo anounced she quit her position as Vice Chancellor.

After careful consideration, I decided to return my mandate of Acting Vice Chancellor to the Senate. It never was my ambition; I accepted it inspired by Senators, some of them now away. It was supposed to be transient, I even re-staked it more than once. But now, I don't see elections coming in. I cannot work under the leadership of a Chancellor who is now a Imperial Subject and lately proposed a Foreign King for a seat to the supreme court of Justice. I see the continuation of the former Chancellor's reign which was marked by it series of scandals.

Some state the Republic is weakened now. But now the autocrats have left, for the most part, the Democracy has a chance to set up. It's going to be to the next generation to complete it, and to set it in stone in all part of the Republic.

Promote the democracy. Monarchies and other autocracies showed they are unreliable and volatile members; their queens and Co. mostly care about their personal interest. Denying any control from the people, they consider their world as their real estate and then they will switch alliance according to their mood.

Be independent, don't trust foreigners for practising the sovereign rights of the Republic; the Senate shall found the resources within its loyal people rather than hired outsiders, whatever prestigious or friendly they are. This applies to the Jedi, whenever they work under the Republic's control, they deserve their privileges; if they want to be independent, they have to renounce to them. 

Bound the powers to the Chancellors, the recent examples showed they have the power to screw up the Republic, and it's only a sample of what they're able to do. At the end, limit also the mandates of the individual senators for they don't pile up local, federal and other positions, gaining undue privileges and blocking the roles for the newest generation.

And never forget to communicate, because the Republic shall be made of its people working together.

Dantooine: New Knight and Master

Although the cold wave; Dantooine Jedi Council organized to the Ceremony Plaza the promotion of a Quarton and a Jedi knight.

Lead by Master Laura, assisted by Masters Sha’ira, Bala and Neren, the first promotion was opened with these words: “Well... I think it's time to start explaing the reaons because we are today and now. Specifically the reaons come down to just a person that despite don't hae the pleasure of know too as her own master , I've heared great things of this person... For that reason i wanted to call She here in front of everybody... Serinity you can stand and come here , please?”

Quarton Serenity walked in front of the Masters and kneeled. Master Laura made her pronounce her Oath to the Jedi Enclave. By the end, Master Laura told to Serenity “Quarton Serenity Please raise, You knelt infront of us as Just an apprentice of the force now you will rise as a Jedi Knight” By these very words, Serenity was announced as a Jedi knight.

Then Masters have few cheering words to the New Jedi:

Master Neren said: “Now you’ll practice fully the teaching of your master. Never forget the link between you both; it is a part of you. Welcome among us, Jedi Knight Serenity.”

Master Bala said: “Although Quarton is but a short stage between changing orders, a Jedi is always learning and I'm sure you learned a thing or two during your time as a quarton just as i've managed to lean how reliable you are and how you will be a fine asset to our enclave”

Master Sha’ira said: “You served on Trandosha's Enclave and fullfilled all the things asked of you and more. Then you did the same here as well. I know your Master is proud of your hard work and we here at the Dantooine Enclave feel the same as well. Humility, Patience, these are some of the cornerstones of the Jedi and you embody this. Congratulations Lady Serenity”

Then her former master, Jedi Knight Nev’la spoke about her former Quarton: “My first thoughts about you were good. Funny but serious when needed. Skilled in combat, you were able to defeat and help against the Disciples of Ragnos. You have a lot of knowledges, and you are very wise. It was an honor to teach you everything i know, my friend. You deserve to be a Jedi Knight. We will always have this special link. May the force be with you.”

Then the new Jedi Knight spoke “I'm not one for speeches so I won't take but a moment. The bond between a Master and Padawan, or in this case - Quarton, is truly one of the strongest connections I've found. Nev'la is often the subject of debates, given her past which I've only had glances into. Throughout my training under her, I've found that just like I've grown through her guidance, she too has grown with me in a sense. She's a truly remarkable mentor and there's nothing I can do to express how truly thankful I am that she's taken the responsibility and perhaps inconvenience at times, to train me on this long and difficult path. She's remarkable in many ways and has passed down a great deal to me. Be it from different saber techniques and bettering my footwork, to fighting in high heels - though I have to say, that's extremely uncomfortable and something I won't be repeating. Above all else, she has been a friend to me, someone I've been able to go and speak with about anything and everything. Thank you, Nev'la, and trust that I will never forget what you've done for me. You will always be my mentor. May the Force be with you."

Jedi Knight Serenity will now follow the Sentinel path.

But Promote Ceremony wasn’t over, Master Laura called Jedi Knight Nev’la in front of all Masters. She opened the second Ceremony by these words: “Oh Nev'la would say so many things of you like that time you almost kill Sha'ira and me on Tatooine in other times...or all those hours that we spent in our lessons. I've the opportunity to see how many users of the light fell on the darkside and back but i never saw a member of the darkside with centuries on it and then find the light. I really feel proud of see you here... You would kneel for us, my former quarton?"

The former Princess of Roon walked to the Master and kneeled. Then she pronounced the Oath to the Enclave once again, and rose up as a Master. All the Masters welcomed her warmly.

Master Bala spoke long and concluded: “It has been a great honor working with you and at least now we will have a Master with a good fashion sense.”

Master Neren said: “Today, you are joining the Guardian Master’s rank. Congratulations, Master Nev’la. May the Force lead your path, always.”

Master Sha’ira said: “the first time I could see into your heart and mind and there was peace where there hadn't been for so very long. The heart of a guardian is what you have Nev'la. Your dedication to push back the darkside and try to do what is right. As I was shown the way by my Master and my own Padawans, a Jedi takes the right choice over the easy one...continue Nev'la..continue with the right ones Master Nev'la.”

Then the new Master thanked her former Master, Laura, with warm words, Jedi Knight Rhaaki, Master Sha’ira with apology to her misbehave when she was Sith, Master Bala with whom she had fight side by side often and Master Neren, saluting the Healer she is.

Master Nev’la concluded: “As Jedi Master, i will remember to continue to follow the Jedi code. My title doesn't mean i am better than anyone else. I understand it. As a Guardian, i will keep fighting for the peace and justice in the galaxy. Helping those who cannot defend themselves will continue to be my first goal."

Jedi Consular Norma closed the Ceremony by an amazing piqué with her fighter to salute the new Jedi Knight and the New Master.

Dantooine: Cold wave.

Currently, the weather of Dantooine is acting strangely. Some change in the climate of the green planet appeared. And few days ago, the inhabitants of the Jedi Enclave have the surprise to wake up in a cold morning.

The biggest surprise was in the northern part: snow patch covered the roofs of the enclave, the government building, and the Consular House. Also, the little valley where Jedi meditate was covered by a white coat.

The inhabitants of Dantooine got organized to clear the snow, while the children of schools had fun with this unknown element for them, organizing snowball fights and building snowmen.

Weather forecasts do not plan improvements before a few weeks. Fortunately, the technical team of the spaceport deployed them droids to adapt speeders to the cold weather in the neighborhood.

The Government of Dantooine requested to all to pay attention, and recommended to cover with cold garments the children and old people to go outside.
