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
'''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.


'''Awarded for:''' 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.
==Tiering==
 
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:

'''First Level:''' A special event that typically involves the entire Brotherhood and consists of multiple events. First Level crescents are most often awarded for DB-wide competitions. Past examples include the Independence Games and Capital Gains.

Additionally, crescent tiers scale as follows:
* 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
===First Level===
[[File:Cr_diamond_small.jpg|thumb|left|Cr-Diamond Star]] These elite crescents are reserved for Brotherhood-wide competitions hosted by members of the [[Dark Council]] or those special events, such as the [[Independence Games]], which garner large numbers of participants.


'''Second Level:''' A competition that takes a substantial effort from its participants, but is probably a stand-alone competition or small-scale series of events. Second Level Crescents may be awarded for large-scale events such as a Clan Feud. A Krath Monthly Topic is an example of a Second level event.
