CMDR/MAJ Wil_Striker Reporting on 5-19-01 for Samekh Squadron in Wing V
SQUADRON NEWS
Activity
Ok, school is coming to an end for most of you, so it looks like you’ll be running out of excuses pretty quick as to why you are unable to fly, or maintain some type of activity level. So from now on I know I can expect to start seeing pilot files, or other reports of activity from each one of you every week without fail, right? Thought so. :P
Recruiting
Well, you’ve heard me say it before a thousand time, we still need more pilots. Fortunately I have located one officer that will be transferring back to Wing V at the end of this month, and he has promised that he will be joining Samekh when he does! I also have another CT that is seriously considering joining Samekh after he completes his training. Now all that I ask is that the rest of you try to find some pilots as well, so that we can fill our ranks up to full strength.
Samekh vs. Shadow Squadron Comp
The comp started today, so let’s get those pilot files in for Free-TIE #121 by May 25th to get credit for them. Let’s not let Shadow show us up in this one!
Wing V vs. Wing VI Comp
We’ve got a total of 2 entries from the pilots in Samekh for this comp so far. This is a great battle, so anyone that owns TIE Fighter is encouraged to fly it and help Wing V beat Wing VI. Fly TC-TIE #171, pilot files to me by May 30th!
Wil_Striker`s Wise Word`s of The Week..... "Being an Imperial Pilot isn’t just a job, it’s an adventure! :P"

SOVEREIGN NEWS
SovMan Competition
What's that? Up in the sky? Faster than a speeding T/B!
Stronger than the odor of Crusher the Hutt! Able to leap tall Jawas in a single bound!
It's a mynock! It's a Star Destroyer!
No...it's SOVMAN!!!!
To protect his secret identity, SovMan lives as a mild-mannered TIE pilot. But when danger or
disrespect threaten the SSSD Sovereign or the EH, he rushes to a convenient docking bay and
transforms himself into SOVMAN, PROTECTOR OF JUSTICE, DEFENDER OF HONOR, UPHOLDER OF ORDER AND POLISHER OF THE AXIAL SUPERLASER!!!
Gentlemen, I would like to invite you to take part in a competition to design a costume for SovMan, the Sov's local superhero! Note that this is NOT a graphics comp: the prettiest picture might win, but a scanned-in crayon scribbling might win, too. What we are looking for is the coolest superhero costume you can develop for SovMan! Costume should look good in color or B&W.
All officers serving on the SSSD Sovereign are invited to submit their designs in any form they
prefer. Make an original graphic! Build a clay model and sent the photo! Edit the attached
preliminary sketch! Sew a costume, dress up as SovMan, and send us the picture! Paint a RPG
miniature! If you have no scanner, let me know and I'll send you a mailing address for art or photos (but you'll have to mail it early to make the deadline!).
Flag officers, please pass this on to your units. Entries should me e-mailed to me, COL Inkwolf at
inkwolf@earthlink.net. Judging will be carried out by COM/FA Kramer, myself, and LT Ryan Tribal of Hey Squadron, originator of the SovMan concept. Medals have been preapproved by the TO, but given the reaction of the Ops office to some comps, no definite promises will be made ahead of time. :)
SovMan can't fight our enemies in the nude (well he could but it'd be against some regulation I'm
sure) so please get those uniform designs in by June 15th!

Sovereign Top Gun Competition
22:14 - GN Devin [devin@thedenofevil.net]
Omega Squadron and the Fleet Medical Corps are sponsoring a ship-wide competition to determine who the number one TIE and XWA pilot on the Sov is. All pilots are encouraged to fly either Free TIE #93 or Free XWA #17 and turn it into their CMDRs no later than May 27th. If you have any questions, please contact General Devin.
This is a great opportunity for you to get some recognition for yourself, your squadron and your wing - take advantage of it!
ISD Subjugator opens
05:01 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Over the past several months the SSD Avenger has grown dramatically, both in terms of size and activity. This is undoubtedly due to the hard work of not only the pilots onboard, but also the Officers. This success has allowed for a relatively rare event - the opening of a new ISD and Wing! Both myself, and Vice Admiral Firefox decided that the time was right to add this new Ship to the Fleet, so Wing XX and it's parent ship, the ISD Subjugator have been activated. The Subjugator, attached to the Avenger, is a Dark Brotherhood ship - which means that all pilots onboard are also members of the DB.
That Prequel Movie
04:07 - SA Kawolski [absurefire@aol.com]
The trailer for this looked pretty stupid, but the actual movie had several great hysterical moments that made me laugh! :P The only problem is that their preloader is broken or something and the movie seems to be missing a chunk of it, but if you have a high-speed connection (DSL+), enjoy! http://www.theforce.net/theater/shortfilms/prequel/index.shtml
ISD Immortal Commodore selected
11:22 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Many congratulations go out to Rear Admiral Dras Hempor who, with approval from the Flight Office and VA Adrenaline, has been appointed as the new Immortal COM!
TAC on leave
08:27 - AD StarLion [colstarlion@hotmail.com]
The Tactical Officer is on leave as of this notice and until May 25th.
Newsletter #74 released
01:58 - SA Kawolski [absurefire@aol.com]
Hmm...released not much later than last month, but considering I'm on vacation, I think my turnaround time was pretty good!

TCCOM Award for April
12:43 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
The TIE Corps Commander's Award for the month of April goes to Wing II! Under the leadership of Colonel Inkwolf, the Wing members has shown themselves to be highly active with large amounts of communication amongst the Squadrons and many IWATS courses & battles being completed. They recently triumphed over Wing V in their Wing vs Wing competition, so both myself and Admiral Havoc agreed that the Wing deserved some recognition!
TIE Corps Battlegroups Commander Selected
03:46 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Admiral Jarak's successor as BGCOM has been selected...many congratulations to Vice Admiral Adrenaline!
I had several applications from some highly qualified Officers, but in the end, one person really stood out, and I know the right decision has been made. Congrats Adren!
Wing XV WC appointed
03:38 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Congratulations to Major Zippy Hawk who has been appointed as new Wing Commander for Wing XV!
