Seal of the di Plagia

Being granted the Clan name is the highest honor any Clan can bestow upon its members. It is reserved for those members who have demonstrated the utmost loyalty, dedication, and activity. These are the best of the best, the absolute pinnacle of Clan Plagueis membership. They have demonstrated their dedication to the Clan over a period of time always counted in years, thus usually no more than 3 or 4 members receive the honor in any given year. They may have served as a leader or as a regular member, but their activity levels have always been in the highest categories within the Clan. Adding ‘di Plagia’ to you name never comes easy, but it is an award much worth striving for.

Granting Process

There is a very specific procedure that must be followed when it comes to the granting of the Clan name, it is hereby stated:

  1. Twice per year, January and July, the Consul and Proconsul will review the most excellent members of the Clan based on their personal experiences and on recommendations from Clan members and leaders. They will apply the strictest standards to the selection process – sometimes they may not find anyone worthy. If they believe they have found members who are worthy of the award, they may, in the Sith tradition, choose two and only two and proceed to the next step.
  2. After having chosen two worthy members, the Consul and Proconsul bring the applicants before the assembled ‘di Plagia’. They present their case for initiating both of the new members to the assembly and then the entire current ‘di Plagia’ vote. A majority must vote in favor of a member for that person to be inducted. If a majority does not vote in favor the member is not to be inducted, although they may be presented at a later date again.
  3. If the members are approved by the di Plagia assembly, a copy of the request to the assembly along with the vote of the assembly are passed on the Grand Master and his Deputy, who give a final blessing. Then the members are guided through the di Plagia rituals, known only to those who have completed this incredibly difficult quest.

The only time in which a member can be stripped of the di Plagia name is if the CoJ has found them guilty of high treason. Then the di Plagia assembly can be gathered by the Consul to vote on a revocation. The revocation vote must be unanimous for the name to be revoked from the member.

Every Clan Plagueis member should strive to be able to add ‘di Plagia’ to their name...although few will attain this highest of all honors.


Honored di Plagia

Former di Plagia

Throughout time, there have been those blessed with the honorable name of di Plagia that dropped the name. This is caused for various reasons, rather they are found guilty of a horrible crime, leave the clan, or just drop the name. In the case of the two "Lost Ones", both went Rogue, and dropped the di Plagia name.
