______________________________________

MAYOR – Malleus Imperium wall building approximately 90% completed. Only 3-4 houses remained to be placed. The city is also a level 2 now, and only need about 5 more people to become lvl3. All citizens are reminded to vote so Kyy gets full Politician XP.

MILITIA (Anubus)– I would like to say first and foremost thank you all for your approval in succeeding Jonesy as Militia Captain. I have every Intention of Solidifying and utilizing the foundations that jonesy has set in place for the Militia.

My First immediate Objective is to develop a sound and coherent command structure in the militia that allows our objectives and Military goals to be accomplished without burdening 1 or 2 people with the allot of time consuming work. More or a less, a distribution of responsibility will be implemented to allow those of lesser ranks to display and discover leadership skills and abilities in both PvP and PvE arenas, and also to allow those of higher ranks and skills time to teach, train, and guide the novices.

The fire-Teams are going to remain intact, and the completions will continue to increase to promote camaraderie and cohesion amongst the Members. Additionally Team completions will be extending into space, involving usage of team tactical squadrons to train and compete in missions that may be both PvE and PvP related.

Additionally I will be looking into developing some elite tactical units that may include Base-takedown specialization, Jedi Hunting, Intelligence Gathering, Bomber or fighter squadrons, Jedi consortium, Special Commando forces, ect, all of which is still under consideration and development and is contingent upon the people who care to participate, The fire-teams that are already in place provide a great starting point to promote such special units. This is all in the effort to again promote cohesion and belong to something members can take pride in and promote themselves to other existing or not-yet-existing members of the (recruit!).

I will be using the proposed structure and a guideline for all militia members and how I will be defining the command structure

Recruit – Learning PVP, Private Faction Rank
Private – Full time militia, owns faction armor, 10k FP stored, Sergeant Faction Rank
Lance Corporal – Master Combat Profession, Participated in 5 Militia Events, Warrant Officer II Faction Rank
Corporal – Participated in 10 Militia Events, 1st Lieutenant Faction Rank
Sergeant – Fire Team Leader, Captain Faction Rank (6)
First Sergeant – Honorary rank given to the leading Fire Team Sergeant (1)
Lieutenant – Militia XOs (2)
Captain – Militia Captain (1)

There will be requirements for all militia members to have a completed elite combat template in order to be a member, no exceptions on this will be allowed, it’s imperative all militia members are ready to fight and defend on a moments notice with no hindrances in templates or professions. I’m still considering the other requirements to have for each rank and will be working with the triad over the next several days to establish a system that works. Understanding of course that the given respec period is sufficient time for people to finalize there templates and allow me time to set things up with the militia

Lastly, I will be looking to fill the Position of Militia Lt. sometime within the next several days. I will be taking this time to hear all applications and take assessments on who I think is best suited for the position. There are certain criteria I expect from a person for this position that involves all aspects of the guilds PvE and PvP fronts, Previous Militia and/or combat Involvement, and time spent on promoting the . In essence, this person(s) is going to need to be able to hold my position if I’m not available. Must be able to rally troops to defend MI/SM and organize any offensive against the rebel insurgence.

COMMERCE (Krenn’sa) – The Combat Upgrade hit us on April 21, 2005, and with it came many, many sweeping changes in both the way our combatants fight, their strategies, their weapons and their armor...

Armor after the CU now has 'certifications' which require certain elite combat professions and skills which provide 'hindrance mitigations' based on which skills you possess.

The basic breakdown for the new armor is as follows:

RECON ARMOR:
Types: Ubese, Tantel, Mabari, Kashyyykian Ceremonial, Ithorian Guardian, Marine Rebel (faction), Scout Trooper (faction)
Cert. Profs: BE, Pistoleer, Rifleman, Smuggler

BATTLE ARMOR:
Types: Padded, Marauder, Bone, Kashyyykian Black Mountain, Ithorian Defender, RIS (quest), Rebel battle (faction), Stormtrooper (faction)
Cert. Profs: Carbineer, CH, CM, Fencer, Doc, Swordsman, Pikeman, Ranger

ASSAULT ARMOR:
Types: Chitin, Composite, Kashyyykian Hunting, Ithorian Sentinel, Mandalorian (quest), rebel assault (faction), shock trooper (faction)
Cert. Profs: BH, Commando, SL

Please note that BH armor schematics are not yet craftable :)

In my own experimenting I have been able to hit the 6000 base (w/out layering) on most of my new recon armors...Average resists on the unlayered armor is mid-upper 5000s on average, +1000 kinetic/-1000 for recon armor and +1000 kin/-1000 energy for assault armors. Armor now has resists that range from the 1000s to the 6000s in a logarithmic scale...the closer you get to the higher ends the tougher it becomes to craft...Layers are basically useless at this point except for maybe energy layering for PvP combatants. Primus layering has only added 200 to 300 to resists but at the cost of lower elemental damage resists and high hindrances (aka encumberance).

As always I offer all guild members a 50%-75% price discount on emailed orders...In addition, I have a NEW Imperial Faction Armor vendor selling all 3 classes of Imperial faction armor and is restocked every 1-2 days.

I am also pleased to report we have some VERY active crafters/merchants in Sanctum Malleus, Talus...and the # seems to be growing as more folks get alts and try out crafting...and we get more visitors/customers...Crafting is a very rewarding and prosperous profession in SWG...I recommend it highly.

I have the following down as ACTIVE merchants with known/stocked vendors in 'downtown' Sanctum Malleus:

Krenn'Sa - Armorsmith
Mashabak/Monsh - DE, SW, resources & architect
Xor - Power resources
Aki'Ko - Pharmaceuticals
Ultimatom - Tailored goods (retail & bulk)
Escalante - Miscellaneous & CH
Derlin/Jansen - Tailer, SW & limited AS
Tiger' - WS (REALLY needs a vendor downtown)

The following are inactive crafters/merchants who should restock soon or remove their vendors from the SM Merchant Mall in the center of town:

Bigman - Architect
Kelron/Eo'Wyn - WS
Cebe - Resources/meds

EVENTS – Events coordinator will be a collateral duty of the militia lieutenants.

STARFIGHTERS – Seriah has provided a tutorial for earning your RotW Jedi Starfighter.
