==  Description  ==
'''Crescents''' are awarded for placing in non-[[Vendetta]] competitions. Cast from hollinium in the shape of the [[Ante|dark star]] eclipsing the former Brotherhood homeworld of [[Antei]]. Each crescent is studded with jewels varying from quartz to diamond, dependent upon its value. Imbued with dark energy, these jewels are believed to be taken from the stores of Sith Lord [[Okemi]]. The most active members of the Brotherhood possess quite a collection of crescents.
Rendered from solid shanks of hollinium, [[Crescents]] are cast symbolically in the shape of the [[Ante|Dark Star]] eclipsing the Brotherhood home-world of [[Antei]]. Each Crescent is studded with ancient jewels from the uncovered stores of the warlord [[Okemi]].  One jewel, ranging from quartz to diamond, is displayed in the Crescent’s star, dependent upon the jewel’s value. It is believed these jewels still echo with the dark power of Okemi.  Those [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]] most active within the Brotherhood possess quite a collection of these awards


== Awarded for  ==
==Tiering==
Achieving a first, second or third place ranking in any official, non-[[Vendetta]] event. Crescents are organized into levels - the lower the level of the competition-type, the higher the crescent. If a competition less than three participants, the level of the competition will automatically be changed to the next lower valued set of crescents. In the case of 5th level crescents the top award would be Topaz followed by Quartz.
Crescents are automatically processed by the database when a competition is judged and closed. The following outlines the appropriate crescent tier based on the target unit:
{| class="fancy"
! Tier !! | Target Unit !! | Upgrades at !!
|-
! Tier 1 Crescents
|DC-run DJB-Wide Competitions
|No Upgrade
|-
! Tier 2 Crescents
|Non-DC DJB-Wide Competitions
|10 Participants
|-
! Tier 3 Crescents
|Clan Competitions
|10 Participants
|-
! Tier 4 Crescents
|House Competitions
|10 Participants
|-
! Tier 5 Crescents
|Battle Team Competitions
|5 Participants
|}


== Automated awarding ==
Additionally, crescent tiers scale as follows:
Since the launch of a new competition entry system by [[James Lucius Entar Arconae|JaM3z]], crescents are no longer manually awarded. Instead, they are automatically awarded when the competition's creator has entered in the participants and placings.
* Upgrade one tier at a scaling threshold of participation (crescents may only upgrade ''once'' per competition)
* Parent competitions with three or more sub-competitions run one tier higher than their sub-competitions
