From MAJ Genie, CMDR of Lambda Squadron:

Wookiee wasted no time in becoming an integral part of both Lambda and the Emperor's Hammer itself. His humor is as deadly as his flying, with two merit awards under his belt and a ton of combat wins. He is steadily mastering the ways of the Emperor's Hammer, as he delves deeper into it.

I unreservedly recommend DemWookieeCheeks to the rank of Lieutenant Commander!

Congratulations, LCM DemWookieeCheeks!

Over the last two months, LT Coldsnacks has shown exceptional skill as a pilot, initiative in helping the squadron train for anti-capital strikes, and flown in over 200 missions.

What can I say about Travis? He has been my right arm since Firebird opened, offering opinions and critiques when necessary and keeping me on-track when my enthusiasm has wavered. A more solid and reliable Squadron XO could not be found anywhere else in the TIE Corps, and for that he has earned a promotion to Captain.

LCM SkyShadow has been a member of Sin Squadron for 3 months and has maintained a high and consistent level of activity. He is often present on the Squadron Discord channels, and has shown great initiative in his work. His work on TIE Corps Tailoring Tool 3 (TTT3) has been a huge asset to both the Squadron and the Fleet, and his contributions during Squadron ReMobilization were critical to Sin’s success. It is with great pleasure and honor that I recommend LCM SkyShadow for promotion to the rank of full Commander.

From MAJ Robert Hogan, CMDR of Sin Squadron:

LT Kazraran, despite only being a member of the TIE Corps for 2 months, has demonstrated a great affinity for flight operations and has consistently shown high levels of activity. His contributions in Squadron ReMobilization 3 were critical in Sin’s completion of single player flight goals, and he sets a high bar for activity, rivaling many Squadron veterans. It is with great pleasure and honor that I recommend LT Kazraran for promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Commander.

From LC Pete Mitchell, CMDR of Theta Squadron:

As a LCM, FL, and XO, Wodi Untok has been consistently active, instrumental in Theta's Squadron (Re)Mobilization effort, and communicative. He was an asset on Theta's Chaquila Cup Team, and just has a very positive attitude about everything. Theta is lucky to have him and he more than deserves this Promotion to Commander!

Turel remains one of my most solid and reliable pilots, and is now one of the few original Firebirds remaining. Since joining the Squadron, and especially since becoming Flight Leader, he has been a model for the other pilots - remaining as active as his schedule allows and competing in competitions. For this, he has earned his promotion to Commander.

From RA Zekk Terrik, Commodore of the ISDII Warrior:

Back in March I quite literally spent hours agonizing between two great candidates over who to pick as Kappa CMDR. I went with my gut and picked Aardvark, and I am glad I did!

Aardvark has done fantastic work engaging folks and setting expectations (thanks to CPT Sparky for this line!). He has set new records in his own personal activity as well.

During the month of April, Kappa posted its best performance yet. I am proud and honored to recommend Aardvark for promotion to the rank of Captain, with my gratitude.

High Admiral Plif

12 May, 2021 06:53
29 ABY

During his second four-month tour of duty as Lambda CMDR, MAJ Genie's crafted a strong team that's taken on the entire TIE Corps and won in Squadron (Re)Mobilization and is poised to be a top competitor in future events. For his service to Lambda, the ISDII Hammer, and the TIE Corps, I'm proud to present MAJ Genie the Bronze Star of the Empire. Excellent work!

LT Solohan50 Promoted to LCM

High Admiral Plif

From MAJ Genie, CMDR of Lambda Squadron:

Lieutenant Solohan is an exemplary pilot, who wears the Lambda Squadron banner with pride. He is a valuable member of our squad and he has shown his value in the recent Squadron Remobilization and other squadron competitions, such as the TCIB. His only... shortcoming (pun intended) is that he cant handle his booze. But then again nobody's perfect, especially Ewoks.

Congratulations, LCM Solohan50!

29 ABY

Having held the rank of Admiral in the TIE Corps for well over three years now, AD Miles Prower has been operating in high-visibility assignments and doing a lot of good for the Corps. In particular, the Combat Operations Office continues to manage the torrent of multiplayer screenshots from a growing TIE Corps that might be the most active it’s been in online combat in many years. For his service to the TIE Corps and the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet, I’m pleased to present AD Prower with a shiny new rank badge.

Congratulations, FA Miles Prower!

VA John T. Clark Promoted to AD

High Admiral Plif

09 May, 2021 18:51
29 ABY

In a year of service as the Strategic Operations Officer of the TIE Corps and about half a year before that as its Combat Operations Officer, VA John T. Clark has been doing a lot of the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the TIE Corps moving forward every month. Both positions are key parts of our recognition processes that make sure our pilots are celebrated for their achievements, a critical component of an organization like ours. His contributions to the club as a Vice Admiral have shown me and the Fleet Commander that he’s ready to take on the higher expectations we have of a full Admiral in the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet.

Congratulations, AD John T. Clark!

Chalquilla Cup Season 1 Results

Colonel Silwar Naiilo

08 May, 2021 19:11
29 ABY

The first season of the Chalquilla Cup has concluded. The winners are:

  • 4th place: Club Pew Pew from Epsilon Squadron, with 7 wins and 194 kills. CPT Witcher, MAJ Taygetta, LCM BatSpoggy, and LCM Gytheran will earn IS-BWs for their performance.
  • 3rd place: The Flockers from Lambda Squadron, with 8 wins and 198 kills (9 wins and 224 wins including their tiebreaker.) CM Highlander, CM Xye, and MAJ Genie will earn IS-SWs for their performance.
  • 2nd place: Operating Thetans from Theta Squadron, with 8 wins and 202 kills (9 wins and 240 kills including their tiebreaker.) FA Turtle Jerrar, FA Pickled Yoda, LCM Wodi Untok, and AD Miles Prower will earn IS-GWs for their performance.
  • 1st place: FogHorn LegHorn from Firebird Squadron, with 11 wins and 229 kills. CM TI-40026, COL Stryker, COL Ricaud, and LCM Turel will earn IS-PWs for their performance. In addition, CM TI-40026, COL Stryker, and COL Ricaud will earn Distinguished Flying Crosses for winning the tournament with an 11-1 ratio.

Most kills by a single pilot:

  • MAJ Genie, 101 (K/D 2.45) will earn an IS-GW
  • CPT Taygetta, 95 (K/D 2.43) will earn an IS-SW
  • COL Silwar Naiilo, 89 (K/D 1.30) will earn an IS-BW

Other interesting stats:

  • CM TI-40026 had the most wins, having played 12 games and winning 11
  • COL Stryker had the most assists, with 73
  • 30 pilots from 7 teams will earn IS-CWs for being active members of teams with at least 80 kills
  • Yavin Prime was the most popular map (10 games) and Sissubo the least (2 games.)
  • The New Republic faction was picked about 75% of the time. (Although, only Firebird teams have an excuse.)
  • 148 reports came in from pilots about their matches, with detailed stats- about 60% of matches; of those, reports came in about 60% of the time from winners. The TIE Interceptor was the most popular Imperial ship (50%), and the TIE Reaper the least (5%). The most popular New Republic ship was the A-Wing (35%), and the least the B-Wing (4%). Pilots who switched ships mid-game most often chose the TIE Bomber, while most New Republic pilots didn’t switch at all - though those who did most often chose the Y-Wing or B-Wing. Bombers overwhelmingly used burst cannons, but the interceptors varied from the standard lasers (roughly 55%), rapid fire (30%) and pasburst (15%). Most supports carried beacons, and additionally either resupply droids or turret mines. Frenchie6, Epicedion, and Pickled Yoda were the most dutiful reporters.

Congratulations to all winners! The full results and pilot stats can be viewed here.

29 ABY

From RA Zekk Terrik, Commodore of the ISDII Warrior:

Ace has been a CPT now for two months, and it is past due time for his promotion to Major. Ace has had to learn to be a CMDR the hard way, with very little help other than an equally confused COM to show him the way. Despite all that, he is continuing to do great work. Regularly communicative and engaging, and doing everything in his power to lift Rho up. I truly appreciate his efforts!

Congratulations, MAJ acetiepilot!

CPT Robert Hogan Promoted to MAJ

High Admiral Plif

07 May, 2021 01:35

From RA Zekk Terrik, Commodore of the ISDII Warrior:

I cannot recommend this promotion for Robert fast enough. He has served 4 months as CMDR of Sin Squadron, and it's clear I picked the right person. Rob is one of those people that never needed any engagement or communication, he just stepped right up and did what great TIE pilots do - lead. I appreciate Rob's great work with Sin, and I know the rest of the admiralty does too.

Congratulations, MAJ Robert Hogan!

LCM SkyShadow Awarded Grand Order of the Emperor

For his extensive work in the development of TTT3, I am proud to be able to announce that LCM SkyShadow has been recognized with the Grand Order of the Emperor (GOE):

'Presented in recognition of LCM SkyShadow's efforts in development of the TIE Corps Tailoring Tool 3 (TTT3), a modern platform for generating Emperor’s Hammer member uniforms.

While TTT2 and the efforts of LC Tempest have served the Emperor’s Hammer well for many years, certain elements of the aging application have also constrained efforts to update aspects of our awards and recognitions. The development of TTT3 builds upon Tempest’s work, and has provided a modern system for generating Emperor’s Hammer uniforms.

Although a team effort, it was only through LCM SkyShadow’s initiative that the project was started in the first place. LCM SkyShadow served as the lead coder on the project, ultimately responsible for more than 95% of the coding within the application. Before coding could even take place, he performed significant analysis and reverse-engineering of the uniform system to determine how it could be re-implemented in the new code. Along the way, SkyShadow’s willingness to accept and implement feedback and suggestions has resulted in a tool superior to its predecessor.

While intentionally visually similar to TTT2 at a glance, the efforts that have gone into making this application a useful tool now and into the future cannot be overstated. From an easily extensible system for defining medals and ribbons, to the implementation of Emperor’s Hammer API functionality to automatically update fleet structure and unit patches, these improvements have resulted in a tool which is easier to maintain and use. LCM SkyShadow’s use of freely available languages and libraries, with full source code maintained in the Emperor’s Hammer Internet Office code repository, provides for a means of supporting this application into the future.

The result of hundreds of hours of labor, this tool is likely to be touched by nearly every Emperor’s Hammer command and TIE Corps member. Given the fleet-wide impact of his extensive work building this modern platform to generate Emperor’s Hammer uniforms, it seems only fitting that LCM SkyShadow be recognized with award of the Grand Order of the Emperor, with all the rights and privileges associated with such recognition, including display of the ceremonial dagger on his Emperor’s Hammer uniform.

The Internet Office TTT3 Team is pleased to release the TIE Corps Tailoring Tool 3! TTT3 is the next-generation utility for generating Emperor's Hammer and TIE Corps dress and duty uniforms, as well as pilot helmets.

TTT3 supports live updates from the Emperor's Hammer database. When you launch the application, it will retrieve the current fleet structure, uniform parameters, and unit (squadron) patches and cache this information locally.

Special thanks to the following members that assisted in the development of TTT3:

  • LT Braz Ile for development of new 3D assets including lightsabers, blasters, and misc. accoutrements.
  • CPT Robert Hogan for the development of various ribbon designs and updated ribbon devices.
  • SA Maverick, COL Stryker, and CPT Robert Hogan for volunteering to serve on the beta test group, and contributing bug reports and feature suggestions.
  • AD Jedi Eclipse and COL Silwar Naiilo for assistance in alpha testing and feature development.
  • And last, but absolutely not least, LCM SkyShadow, whose personal initiative led to the project being established in the first place, and who completed the vast majority of coding in support of the effort. Special recognition for his efforts will shortly follow this posting.

Major highlights of TTT3 include:

  • Implements the new TIE Corps awards including the Imperial Achievement Ribbon (IAR), Iron Star - Copper Wings and Copper Ribbon, TIE Corps Commander's Unit Award (TUA), and TIE Corps Meritorious Unit Award (MUA).
  • Implements the Legion of Skirmish and Letter of Achievement as wearable awards, as well as 21st Echelon Flight Wings and Order of the Vanguard up to 39th echelon.
  • Additional lightsaber models, as well as blasters for display on the duty uniform.
  • Implements several new visual options rendering options.

For full details on all changes and additions, please see the TTT3 Changelog. Changes to display of uniform elements/awards as generated in TTT3 and documented in the Changelog are authorized effective 1 May 2021.

Get it: Download your copy of TTT3 to get started: TTT3-3.0.0.zip.

Reporting issues: Although TTT3 has been tested in both alpha and beta stages, bugs are an inevitable part of software development. Please report any issues encountered at the IO issues incoming queue.

Known issues: Upon launching the application for the first time, Windows 10 users may receive a blue Windows Defender SmartScreen warning. This does not mean that the program is malicious, only that it has not yet established enough reputation with Microsoft to avoid the message. Because we are effectively a small independent software publisher, it takes some time for our application to gain reputation and be viewed as trusted by Microsoft?s algorithms. Clicking "More Info" and then "Run anyway" will allow you to launch the application.
