Last night, SPQR took a break from current operations to do what they enjoy the most... attack and ruin the efforts of all who opposes the Empire.
To make things interesting, SPQR's leader challenged his members to a contest of who can display the best combat skills, survive the longest, and show no signs of fear or weakness. The victor will be rewarded the combat expert rank known as The Champion of SPQR, as well as a substantial reward of credits.
The decision was quite simple.
SPQR officially announces one of their officers, CMDR Ouch, is the new CHAMPION!
"Is there any leader willing to do the same?
Is there any other organization within this galaxy willing to choose THEIR OWN champion.
Let these Champions represent their fellow CMDRs in a friendly duel.
Let the victor return safely to their people where they will be showered with honor, glory, and riches.
Let the victor's name be echoed past the dark corners of space, where might the Thargoids waken from their slumber.
Don't forget to respect the fallen champion as they showed honor in participating in the fight.
Don't forget the fallen must return to their people too, so that they can train harder and one day have their revenge!
May these Champion Fights be for sport.
May these Champion Fights settle minor disputes rather than a costly war.
The combatants must follow a designated set of restrictions in order for the fight to be a true test of skill and wit.
Not of wealth.
The combatants can't be the leaders of the represented organization.
As it is part of our duties as leaders to train our members.
Exhibition Champion Fights can arise at random. This will eventually help standings.
After some time and with increased popularity, may a Grand Tournament of Champions be held."

Now, the leader of SPQR would like to go further with this.
