Well without going into any detail I want to inform everyone of where the Vast Empire is heading in the future. Before I start talking about it you must all realize that it is gonna get a little confusing but if you focus on the VE's timeline you will come to understand what I am trying to do.

The New Imperium is finally starting a run-on campaign where the Vast Empire can participate in. Although there is only 3 people from the VE in the campaign (me, Paan, and Atrus) I encourage all of you to reply to the story. I apologize for not having more VE people in the story but only Atrus, Paan, and I started writting in it to begin with. Perhaps next time someone else will jump the gun and include themself on the team. I was told that this campaign will go on for some time. So if you are not doing anything please go there and participate.

However, the Vast Empire itself is going to start a HUGE!!!! and I mean HUGE!!!! campaign itself in the VERY!!! near future. This campaign is gonna make the Vast Empire the envy of ALL of the other star wars clubs (at least I hope, lol). I have some very talented people helping me:

Schnapps is gonna help write the plot and do all of the research for our next series of campaigns. She will be helping me manage this campaign.

Spartacus will be helping me with the VE's timeline and overall plotline. He will also be helping Schnapps when needed.

Atrus will be hand-drawing all of the art for these campaigns.

Various individuals will be writting single-player missions for them (I hope).

More details on everyone who is participating in writting this campaign later. However, you must all know the reason why I am doing these next few campaigns.

It took the members of the Vast Empire approx. 2 years to finally get a organization worth talking about. Everyone has done a great job at setting up a fine star wars club. However, what is lacking is a rich timeline and plotline. With the help of Spartacus, Schnapps, and many more I intend on writting a very nice timeline and plotline. It is for that reason I have made the Vast Empire go BACK in time right before the Thrawn Series of books. We will first be going through the Thrawn Series, and then through the Palpatine's clone series. Those 2 series will take us MANY months to complete, after that, has not been decided yet. This will give the Vast Empire a past worth talking about! This should also identify us as the greatest star wars club on the internet instead of the most potential star wars club on the internet. So stay tuned, and start preparing for the greatest series of campaigns EVER!!! (I am so excited about this!).

The next thing on my table is about the VE's new domain. Well much to my dismay it has not been transferred from gibbed.com to the new one yet. The new domain is gonna make the old one look like I wrote it, rofl (yes I am very bad at HTML programming). Kadann, Threeof4, and our Engineering Corporation is hard at work and is very close to finishing the new domain. They have done outstanding work so far and I cannot wait to see it completed and published on the internet. So here are everyone's orders for the time being:

1) Division Leaders - I want you to ask your members to compete in the NI's current plot. I would also like you to host another competition with concentration on mission development. An emphasis will be on actively participating in the competition.

2) Commanders in general - you should start an awol check and get that to your Division Leaders asap. A thinner, leaner, and more active Vast Empire is preferable to a fat inactive one. If the Division Leaders have not started a competition then challenge another squad(ron) and have your own competition. Initiative equals high rewards in the Vast Empire. All you have to do is make sure that your commanders know about it.

RPG Plotline:

The Vast Empire is preparing to enter war. I have ordered a hightened state of alert and I have cancelled everyone's vacation. All of the VE supply lines are to be heavily escorted. There are some minor pirate activity but since we are escorting our supply lines so heavily they have not hit us very hard. Pirate Clan Panther is now using New Republic ships and they are rumored to be supported by the New Republic. The civilian police force has been called up to duty and their primary task is the defense of their systems. They have various outdated ships (mostly imperial but also new republic) in their arsenol.

VE THRAWN ERA ADDITIONAL PLOT INFO: I am on the mSSD Mustang organizing the Vast Empire for the upcoming campaign. The entire High Council is also on the mSSD Mustang. Everyone else is on their currently assigned capitol ship.

NI/VE ADDITIONAL PLOT INFO: Grand Moff Kadann is in charge of the Vast Empire while SG Paan, DJM Majere, and DJM Atrus is out helping the New Imperium with their current crisis. Pirate Clan Panther is heavily attacking the Vast Empire with newer New Republic ships.

So if someone wants to have their own campaign please use this information. If there are any questions please let me know. I want everyone to concentrate on the Thrawn Series but if they have time please show the New Imperium that we are the best star wars club on the internet and participate in that as well!

There is no reason why everyone should not be actively participating in the Vast Empire!
