Weekly Graphics

Commemoration
Sadow Palace has always been known for its artwork and style, from the busts that have always lined the Great Hall, to the paintings that adorn the Palace Spire, and the glass mosaic in the roof of the Observatory. The Yuuzhan Vong raid has ruined many of the priceless antiques the Clan has owned since before the Exodus from the Imperial Remnant, and they are now in need of replacing.
The Weekly Graphics events consists of an Overall event that runs the full four weeks, and the individual weekly events. Marks will be awarded for the usual criteria, i.e. quality and creativity; in certain circumstances, you may also score well for factors such as humour with more ‘stylised’ art such as a piece done in the likeness of Blue Harvest from Family Guy, for instance.
Entries should be sent to Ashura and Xanos.
The top three will receive medals each week with awards also going to the highest three overall at the end of the Feud. Your participation will count for each week you take part.
Week 4
For all the damage the biological weapons of the Yuuzhan Vong may have wrought, in the end it is the dark side that is the true power in the galaxy. Having pursued the cowardly Admiral Yashais and tracked down the hidden base of Warmaster Varesh, it is now time to make them all pay for what they have done. As the final battle unfolds, battleteams of Dark Jedi commandos storm the Peace Brigade, Yuuzhan and Yammka Vong ships, and on the bridge of the Yammka the Disciples of Kressh, Ragnos and Sadow engage the Varesh and the Shamed One heretic Vasi Khess in the final battle.
Create an image to do with Operation Rancor and the Dark Jedi counterattack against the Yammka Vong. You are free to depict any part of the space battle against the Peace Brigade and Vong fleets or the attacks by the Dark Jedi teams who have stormed the Yammka, such as the climactic duels with Slayer-turned-Warmaster Varesh Shai and the now Force-imbued Shamed One Vasi Khess.
Entries for Commemoration #4 are due 13 September.
Week 3
The counterattack has begun and Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti has issued orders to prepare the largest Violator Gas device ever conceived of. Omancor Crask and his Jedi crusaders deployed a similar tactic at Antei with the original Alpha Red virus which left every single Yuuzhan Vong dead. The time for peaceful resolutions and second thoughts is over: the clock is ticking on the Orian system. No matter how dangerous the Violator pathogen may be, there is no other choice.
Create an image related to the Violator Gas Bomb, or VGB, its deployment device, or its effects. The form the bomb takes is not specified so it is up to you whether it is a giant nuclear warhead, a vial inside an ordinary proton torpedo, or a football sized bomb that needs to be physically carried to the detonation point, etc. If you choose to depict the effects you can interpret this however you wish, so you may go with a test subject or a medical diagram, or with an image of an actual deployment either against a single target of an entire ship; you may also depict Alpha Red’s effects at Antei.
Entries for Commemoration #3 are due 6 September.
Week 2
The attack on the Orian system took over two years to plan and was coordinated between a long line of former adversaries who the Clan has shamed in the past, from former mayor Sylus Vega, to the survivors of Domain Amnan who were beaten at Telos three years ago, to the Jedi and Dark Jedi of Omancor Crask or the True Brotherhood who have been corrupted by the Yuuzhan Vong. Since the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong Empire, they have all lurked in the shadows, waiting to take revenge.
Create an image of one of the hidden redoubts used by Vega Incorporated and the Yuuzhan Vong to plan the invasion (e.g. Vega Mine and the wreckage of Obsidian Station are the main ones, but you might also choose the Greasy Hydrospanner bar, the space city Refuge, or the dead worldship, etc). Your entry may feature mercenaries, Killiks, the captured Silentium, Vong, whatever you feel appropriate.
Entries for Commemoration #2 are due 30 August.
Week 1
There have been invasions and battles in the past, but the Vong attack on Orian was the worst the Dlarit Corporation has ever experienced. Most invaders, like the True Brotherhood, have tried to keep the colonies intact to subjugate them. But Varesh Shai had no interest in conquering Orian. He just wanted to sacrifice as many lives as he could for his gods.
Create an image that depicts any part of the attack. Both large scale space battles as well as a duel between a single Dark Jedi and Yuuzhan Vong are equally acceptable. Feel free to draw on any of the ideas in the Prologue or Story about the sacking of Sadow Palace, the Peace Brigade attacks on Marakith Skyhook, etc. You might also choose to depict a particular building, such as the Police Headquarters, for example.
Entries for Commemoration #1 are due 23 August.
