The Plagueis Summit is the governing body of House Plagueis and the Command body of its system government, the Jusadih Military Regime. As the Ascendant House has a unique viewpoint on the Brotherhood and an ever-adapting way of doing things, each of its Summit Positions perform a very specific job. However, with each new appointment comes change, and thus these changes are recorded for the use of its members.
History
Description of the PLA Summit's tenuous history soon to come.
Summit Members
These members comprise the Plagueis Summit and control the affairs of the House.
Stoic, capable, and adaptive; these words fit the Quaestor of Plagueis well. A Shi'ido, the shapeshifting Tra'an Reith leads the Ascendant House toward the path of dominance and victory. While he is wise when it comes to his own safety and a brilliant tactician, Reith never shies away from a role in combat; indeed, in a move that irritates his colleagues and followers, he is often the first on the battlefield when a battle breaks out. Ultimately, this is descriptive of his leadership - he is never afraid to get his hands dirty.
Duties
- Plan all major events for Plagueis.
- Plan out Plagueian storyline.
- Designate tasks to appropriate members on a satisfactory timeline.
- Liaise with the Dark Council and Dark Summit on behalf of Plagueis.
- Get to know members and listen to ideas and suggestions.
- Ensure all tasks, projects, and necessary work is done and complete on time.
- Police Plagueian Summit and ensure no weakness, laziness, or inappropriate behavior creeps in.
Twisted and vile, Sarak Shai is a caricature of what is wrong with Yuuzhan Vong culture; covered in sores and scars, with coral plates grafted to his legs, an extra rib cage grafted over his chest, black yammosk tentacles giving him Force sensitivity, and hooks to pin his face into a permanent grin, he is a perfect expression of horrific corruption. This visage, moreso than amphistaff or lightsaber, is what strikes terror into the enemies of the Quaestor and keeps those that his Aedile is sent to oversee in line.
Duties
Currently, the duties of the Aedile include the following.
- Managing all projects assigned by the Quaestor.
- Designating duties to assistants in each project.
- Following up on projects, ensuring completion.
- Getting into direct contact with members on activity.
- Ensuring the creation of competitions and events in accordance with the Quaestor's plans.
Description of Arcadian to come.
Duties
Currently, the duties of the Rollmaster include the following.
- Contacting new members
- Maintaining the Plagueis mailing list
- Providing HTML assistance to other Summit members and Summit assistants
- Overseeing the Plagueian Path according to all current MSP policies.
These duties are subject to change at any given time.
Summit Assistants
These members, while not a true part of the Summit, still assist it in Battleteam or unofficial capacities. Outside of Battleteams, their positions do not carry any true power and exist only to aid the Leadership.
Cold, calculating, and methodical, Kal Vorrac is a man without remorse or pity. As hard as the durasteel in his saber hilt and as merciless as the howling winds of Morroth, he is dedicated above all to his goals and plots. Friendships, material possessions, and even lives are nothing but pawns on a dejarik board to him. He would have been dead many years ago, except for two qualities: He is incredibly useful and incredibly dangerous.
Duties
- Create competitions and events for Primus Pilus that mesh with the Summit storyline.
- Create and maintain a set of clear-cut, easy to read policies for the Team.
- Appoint Flight Leaders to positions Minor and Superior.
- Train Flight Leaders on subjects like Wiki maintenance, competition planning, event planning, reporting, and conflict mediation.
- Maintain and Improve Pilus Article on the Wiki.
- Seek new members for the team.
- Train Leader Superior until ready for Commander, then step down, allowing succession and growth.
Pilus Leader Superior: Furios
Tenacious and eager, Furios is the Leader Superior of Pilus and seeks to maintain that title. Training under the skilled and unforgiving eye of Vorrac, he seeks to replace the Sith and train two Leaders of his own. Hard-working, ready to learn, and unafraid to do dirty work to meet his goals, he seems to be exactly what the Ascendant House wants in its leaders. However, soon, he will have competition - no Leader Superior can Ascend unless a Leader Minor is there to compete with him.
Pilus Leader Minor: TBA
At present, Pilus has no Leader Minor.
The Taskmaster of Plagueis operates as an extension of the Rollmaster and indeed trains for the superior role; an unofficial position, this is nevertheless a vital one as it oversees the Journeymen of the House. Each Taskmaster's methods are as different as the Mantles they wear, and yet, they have one goal in mind: Weeding out the weak and fostering strength and power in the new blood of Plagueis.
Duties
- Email all Journeymen on a regular basis to encourage activity.
- Assist any and all Journeymen that need help.
- Plan competitions and events to engage Journeymen.
- Inform Journeymen about vital site resources - Shadow Academy, Forums, Wiki, IRC, etc.
- Keep Journeymen up to date on future promotion requirements.
- Report to the Rollmaster on Journeyman activity on a weekly basis.
The Webmaster exists, as the name implies, to manage the Plagueis Website. The exact duties, responsibilities, and freedoms vary heavily, and are primarily related to the association between the Webmaster and the rest of the Summit; if the Webmaster is trusted and experienced, they have quite a bit of freedom. A newer one or one whom a summit member has doubts about is far more restricted.
Duties
- Maintain Leadership, Webteam, and Summit sections on Plagueis Website main page.
- Maintain competition list for Plagueis and Battleteams.
- Assist members with navigating Plagueis website.
- Assist summit members with learning how to use the website for their duties.
- Keep Plagueis Website main page updated
- Train future Webmasters; outside help cannot be relied upon, and Plagueis must learn to draw from within.
Members and Assistants: Assignment of Duty
The Summit of Plagueis is in command of all aspects of the House, and assigns its duties properly and intelligently. However, at times, the Summit alone cannot handle the full burden before them. It is in this time that Summit Assistants take up roles, whether already existing or newly created. Summit members like the Quaestor, Aedile, and Rollmaster handle major tasks, creating a storyline, a future, and an activity base for the House while ensuring Plagueis grows and lives on no matter what.
Summit Assistants are often in training roles, while performing lesser duties or duties too numerous for one Summit member to handle. In this way, they get a sense of duty while still performing pivotal roles. While Summit assistants are rarely in official roles of power and never too high on the food chain, assisting the Quaestor, Aedile, and Rollmaster is an invaluable way to gain skill and garner rewards and promotions.
Ascendant Succession - Training the Future
The entirety of the Plagueian Summit is designed with one goal in mind: Ascendant Succession. A problem of Plagueis has traditionally been a lack of leaders to pass the torch to; to combat this trend, every position up to Quaestor trains one to fill its shoes. At the bottom of the pile, the Commander of Pilus trains two Flight Leaders, one Minor and one Superior, in the skills they need for the job; the Flight Leader to replace the Commander repeats the process, while the Commander becomes a candidate for Aedile.
The Aedile position exists to learn from the Quaestor as well as to ensure the Quaestor's work is accomplished; in the same way that a Flight Leader will take over certain Commander duties to learn how to do them properly, so too will the Aedile's work ready him or her for Quaestor. The Quaestor is the vital component here; if a Leader stops teaching or refuses to learn, he must take action and prevent the stagnation of the Summit.
The Rollmaster and Taskmaster positions exist with this duality, as do the Masters of the Plagueian Master/Student Program. Masters train their Students to be Knights while at the same time learning how to instruct new members. In time, certain Masters become Taskmasters, overseeing all of the Journeymen and their instruction and learning what it takes to teach new members. Ultimately, the Rollmaster teaches the Taskmaster how to do his or her job and maintain the Master/Student Program, using prerequisite experience to ensure everyone is doing their job. In a similar manner, the Webmaster instructs individuals on the finer points of maintenance; these are usually summit members or summit assistants, as Webmaster is a low intensity job and can, in an emergency, be handled in addition to other duties.
Altogether, the structure of the entire Summit is built to keep going if a position is lost and to instruct new members for the future - both key components of a successful Brotherhood House.
