Case Summary
Clan Plagueis was formed by merging two older clans, Clan Satal Keto and Clan Exar Kun. The Grand Master had determined this benefit the entire Brotherhood, because the club was overstretched with seven clans. Selket was Consul of Clan Satal Keto when the two clans were merged, and she did not support this merger. In fact, she openly opposed the merger, and many members began to complain that she was contacting them privately, attempting to get them to leave the new clan in protest. These complaints came to the Justicar, and he charged Selket with Abuse of Power, Dereliction of Duty, and Disreputable Behavior. A jury was assembled and arguments were presented, and the jury found Selket not guilty of Abuse of Power or Dereliction of Duty, but guilty of Disreputable Behavior. She was demoted one rank, given an Official Letter of Reprimand, prohibited from holding leadership positions for a set period of time, and given three months probation.
