The Golden Rule
Current Events
Invasions
Galactic Alliance invasion of Dulvoyinn (One Sith) - The GA is currently looking for allies in their upcoming invasion against the OS. You all here are free to sign up and utilize GR assets (restricted items require FO approval via pm or skype), but in doing so you are representing the GR.
Dominions
Paradise Lost (Mimban, Gyndine) - This Tier 2 Dominion centers around eliminating the invasive species of Vong Firebreathers that have resurfaced. There are several subplots available to cater to everyone, but do your own thing if you don't see something you like. I invited TJO and the SSC to join us on that thread. Thanks to [member="Ayumi Pallopides"] for setting it up.

For a full list of ongoing faction threads, please visit our thread tracker.
Senate/Government
The previous senate roster has been replaced with a more comprehensive government roster that includes all branches of government. An official Senate Committee roster has also been created. Committees are sub-organizations within the Senate that focus on specific sectors of government, like military or finance, providing expertise and oversight in their chosen area(s). Some committees serve special Faction functions like approving company contracts in IC instances (Armed Services Committee).
[member="Caius Flavian"] is currently trawling through our archives to prepare a reference sheet for all bills and laws that have gone through the Senate.
Welcoming our new senators and officials since my last post:
[member="Cath Lorr"] - Home Secretary
[member="Cody Bantam"] - Commander of the Army (Grand Marshal)
[member="Dresden Verbrennung"] - Commander of the Senate Guard
[member="Max Rumor"] - Senator of Yutan
[member="Viktor Alexander"] - Finance Minister
Current Senate threads:
Seat For Garn, Hold the Salt - GR Membership of the neutral planet Garn.
Senate Bill 118.23 - Formal Declaration of Support - Sponsorship of the paramilitary organization CSAF as an affiliated Minor Faction.
GRIM Decisions (Closed Thread) - Private hearing for appraising GRIM and setting a new direction for the intelligence organization.
Military
New posts have been put up replacing our military rosters (Army, Navy), inventory lists (Armory, Vehicle Manifest), and official military units. I also thought it would be a good idea to create a compendium of military guides to help people become more comfortable roleplaying military characters or just become more knowledgeable on the subject.
Jedi Enclave/FU Corner
Firstly, I'd like to congratulate [member="Lady Kay"] on her promotion to master rank. I haven't been around to personally witness her progress, but perusing some of the threads submitted, I can see she put a lot of effort toward development.
Since my last message, there was a discussion and poll put up to decide the organization of our Jedi. After looking at the poll and people's responses in the thread, I decided that it was best to establish an NPC Grandmaster paired with a PC council of approved Masters as we rebuild our Jedi Order. You may have noticed the awesome Iroh gif at the top. Well, for now our NPC is going to be Space Iroh.
Once we have some more qualified candidates (not only in terms of rank, but also commitment and character) to consider, we can revisit the topic later. There are way too many pinned posts for my liking, so I'll be working to consolidate topics.
Jedi Threads:
Establishing Education - A series of classes for FUs and prospective Jedi. (OOC Discussion)
Iljimae - The hunt for a special ship. (OOC Discussion)
Special Mentions
Special thanks to [member="Jack Sparrow"] and [member="Dallen Thayne"] for promoting the faction. I think we've picked up a good bunch of people because of their efforts.
