Each night on Friday, April 19th; Saturday, April 20th; and Sunday, April 21st; we will host a watch party of the Star Wars prequel trilogy with one movie each night. All attendees must have access to a legal copy of the movie through Disney+, Amazon, DVD, Blu-ray or any other legal means.
Our special guests are LT Miguel Garcia, who has only very very recently seen these movies and LT Lucas Lucky Fin, who has never seen them and knows nothing about them.
On Friday and Sunday, we'll meet up at 6:30 PM on the TIE Corps Discord server with the movies starting half an hour later. On Saturday, we'll meet up at 8:30 PM with the movie starting half an hour later.
Despite being a live event in Discord voice chat, keeping talking to a minimum during the movie is encouraged. One special guest will have voice comms muted and the other who prefers a little chitchat during a movie may be on voice comms so spoiler-free talking only if they end up deciding to be unmuted but I’m advising him to be muted so he can better discuss the specifics of the movie.
There will be an intermission about halfway through each movie for 10 minutes for a bathroom break. A roundtable discussion will be held after each movie. CPT Maston Dane will have a list of questions, issues for comment, topics, and more to guide the discussion and ensure that the conversation isn’t aimless or too off-topic. These discussions will have the audio recorded and afterwards can be uploaded to YouTube both in full and with shorter videos of a single topic or compiling thoughts on a topic as more of the movies are taken into account.
CPT Maston Dane will serve as moderator of the discussions and we’ll take turns making comments or answering any questions they may have. Special guests have priority for speaking but all are welcome to give opinions. If it gets too hectic, CPT Maston Dane will implement a policy that when someone has something they want to say next they post “Next” in the group chat and will then call people in the order of when they sent “Next”.
CM OL"Davy Jonez will moderate the chat for people who don’t have voice comms and chime in if they have any questions.

Ahoy pilots!
I hope that you are all recuperated after the recent actions in Tkon Rift. While you have all had a chance to rest our ships are still in dire condition. Imperial allied shipyards are reporting a concerning lack of the raw materials needed for necessary hull repairs. That's why we're deploying you to mining planets in the area. We need you to provide oversight and defense from any local inhabitants who may oppose our mission.
For this competition you will be delving into the caves of Deep Rock Galactic to seek materials for our fleet. Score will be determined by the total number of credits earned from your completed missions. A 25% penalty will be applied if you do not successfully extract from the mission. Please send screenshots of the results screen to eh.gianwebb@gmail.com. Beyond credits, gold ore will also be counted towards bonus ORAs.
Good luck and happy mining.

Pilots within the official organizational guilds on the Star Forge server (“Emperor’s Hammer” for the Sith Empire and “Infiltrator Wing” for the Republic) will compete against each other for placement awards while they aide the organization to meet its in-game goals.
Criteria:
Weekly Placements:
Weekly placement awards will be given, per faction, and will be determined by the sum of all conquest points earned by a pilot’s legacy (all characters a pilot has on the server, within the official guilds), calculated from the guild roster screen. Screenshots of the pilot totals will be taken between 10am-12pm GMT on Tuesday. Due to scheduling conflicts, points earned between 10am and 11am GMT on Tuesday may not be represented on the official screenshots. Pilots earning conquest points between 10am-11am GMT on Tuesday will need to submit a screenshot containing all points earned by a pilot’s legacy to eh.gytheran@gmail.com or in DMs to Gytheran on Discord for consideration.
NOTE: It is a good habit to take a screenshot of your conquest totals each week as a back-up in the off chance a catastrophic event occurs, and official screenshots cannot be acquired.
The conquest totals can be accessed by all members. While in game, press “G,” select the “Roster” tab, set one of the two right-most columns’ drop-down menus to “Conquest Points,” and sort by “Legacy.”
Each week, the top three pilots in each of the two guilds will be awarded Iron Stars and given “placement points” used in the calculation of monthly and final competition awards. Any pilot reaching 100,000 conquest points in either or both SWTOR guilds will also be awarded an Operational Readiness Award (ORA). The ORA can be granted once per faction, per week, for a maximum of two ORAs per week.
Placement points are ONLY given 1 time per faction, per week and will be determined by a Pilot’s highest placement within that faction. Placement points for pilots earning 100,000 conquest points are only granted if that is their highest award for that faction.
Weekly Awards:
Imperial Guild:
1st Place: IS-SW and 12 Placement Points
2nd Place: IS-BW and 11 Placement Points
3rd Place: IS-CW and 10 Placement Points
4th Place: 9 placement Points
100,000 Conquest Points: Any pilot whose legacy earns over 100,000 conquest points for the Imperial guild, “Emperor’s Hammer” will be awarded 1 ORA and 8 Placement Points.
Republic Guild:
1st Place: IS-SW and 12 Placement Points
2nd Place: IS-BW and 11 Placement Points
3rd Place: IS-CW and 10 Placement Points
4th Place: 9 placement Points
100,000 Conquest Points: Any pilot whose legacy earns over 100,000 conquest points for the Republic guild, “Infiltrator Wing” will be awarded 1 ORA and 8 Placement Points.
NOTE: Pilots earning over 100,000 conquest points for both the Imperial and Republic guilds will be awarded 2 ORAs.
Example: “Pilot A” earned 1.2mil conquest and a 1st place finish for the Imperial guild, but did not place for the Republic guild, managing to earn 150,000 conquest points. “Pilot A” would be awarded one IS-SW, 2 ORAs, and given 20 “Placement Points” (12pts for placing 1st for the Empire and 8pts for reaching 100k conquest for the Republic).
Monthly Placements:
There will be four monthly placements calculated by the sum of “placement points” earned by pilots from each of the two SWTOR guilds each conquest week during a given month and awarded a single set of awards. Again, monthly awards only occur once per month and are calculated by placement points earned in both faction guilds.
The conquest dates calculated for the four months’ placements are as follows:
January: 9, 16, 23, 30
February: 6, 13, 20, 27
March: 5, 12, 19, 26
April: 2, 9, 16, 23, 30
Awards:
The top four pilots, by total placement points each month will be awarded Iron Stars w/ Wings.
1st Place: IS-GW
2nd Place: IS-SW
3rd Place: IS-BW
4th Place: IS-CW
Ties: In the event there is more than one pilot with the same number of placement points, monthly placement will be determined by the total number of conquest points earned during that placement period.
Overall Placements:
At the end of the 17 weeks, concluding 11:00am GMT April 30, 2024, all placement points earned by members of both guilds will be tallied and the top pilots will be ranked and given the following awards:
1st Place: IS-PW & Title: “Legendary Conquest: Season 2 Champion of Star Wars: The Old Republic”
2nd Place: IS-GW
3rd Place: IS-SW
4th Place: IS-BW
5th Place: IS-CW
Ties: In the event there is more than one pilot with the same number of placement points, the final competition placement will be determined by the total number of conquest points earned throughout the entire competition period.
