Greeting pilots! Man, if last week was active, this week was a hurricane! You probably submitted more than 10 battles beween you all! I'm really proud! With all that, we have some new stuff as well going on for Echo and we have LT Blair to thank for it. But I'll mention that in the squad news. But needless to say, if we don't get WC's own this month, we sure came close. Just one more week to go before the WC makes his decision. Let's show em what we got! SHOW NO MERCY!

A reminder about the CD Website.

05:54 - SA Kawolski [absurefire@aol.com]
With the removal of Rear Admiral Coolguy, the position for Communications Officer is now open.

The duties of the Communications Officer are:

  • Keep a website online with working links to the EH Java chat room, IRC chat programs for various platforms, CService registration, Undernet Server list, and instructional material such as the X-Commands FAQ, IWATS mIRC courses, and preferably a netiquette FAQ or two
  • Maintain the ops list in the #Emperor's_Hammer channel
  • Be available to assist members on getting connected along with helping new EH ops register on X and get acquainted
  • Maintain an online archive of EH Meeting logs
  • Enforces bans (and keeps members of the "Most Wanted" out of EH channels), enforces IRC CoCs, and reports continued violators to the proper command officers
  • Keep a strong online (IRC) presence
  • Assist the Security Office with monitoring the EH Message Boards

The MINIMUM requirements for the positions are as follows:

  • EH Membership of at least one year
  • Some webpage design experience

  • High online/IRC time commitment

If you wish to apply to the position, you must e-mail your application to both Grand Admiral Ronin and Sector Admiral Kawolski. Failure to do so will result in your application getting ignored because if you're not smart enough to know how to send an e-mail to two people at once, you're not qualified.

Be sure to include any references, how you meet the requirements, how much time you can commit, and what ideas you have for COMM if you were selected for the position.

(Note: Knowledge of writing IRC scripts, configuring bots, and programming are NOT requirements for the position.)

New IO Topic Logo Needed
00:23 - FA Absolutek [io@absolutek.com]
This is a call out to all of you graphically talented people out there. I'm getting tired of my crappy IO Topic Logo for ehnet.org, that I recycled out of previously made graphics.


Current IO Topic Logo


I want something that says "EH", and "Internet" graphicaly (not through text). I will award a Palpatine Crescent (PC) for the best graphic submitted to me. Graphics submitted should be 300x300 pixels (I will resize it down to about 64x64, so make sure it looks good small also), and in high quality PNG, or JPEG format (no gifs please). Please email all submissions to io@absolutek.com.

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!

XvT Week of Wars
15:23 - AD Havoc [Pellaeon2000@cs.com]
A reminder to all XvT M-players out there, WoWs has started today! Get out there and start flying!

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.

This opening also brings some changes with it:

  • Avenger Wings I and II have been renamed to Wings XVIII & XIX respectively.
  • Although the Subjugator will be an independent ship in terms of everyday function, the new COM will be subordinate to Vice Admiral Firefox in terms of seniority (and hence report to him with important decisions). The COM will also act as his XO and step in as and when needed.
  • It is important to note that these two ships do NOT form a Battlegroup.

Applications for the new Commodore are now being accepted. The requirements are as follows:

  • You must have been in the TIE Corps for at least ONE year.
  • No HCI convictions.
  • A working knowledge of all Fleet protocols and policies.
  • Command experience at Wing Commander level or above (the more the better).
  • Extensive use of IRC.
  • You must also be a member of the Dark Brotherhood.

All applications should be sent to Vice Admiral Firefox & Fleet Admiral Priyum and they should arrive within the week. Once the new COM is in place, applications for Wing XX WC will be taken, but not until then.

Scorpion Squadron re-Opened!.
submitted by: VA Ender mBind

Today the roster changes were made to open Scorpion Squadron again. Scorpion Squadron features two flights of Pirate Fighters (which hopefully will be replaced soon) and one of TIE Defenders and it's designation is Reconaisance.
The new CMDR is CM The Z, formerly from Cobra, who is reinforced by his Flight Leaders COL Thrawn, formerly Admiral Thrawn, and LT Torak, from Krayt onboard the Intrepid.
CM the Z and COL Thrawn are very experienced TIE Corps pilots and I'm sure they'll do well. (And being from Krayt is reference enough in my book too;) )

Please welcome our new pilots aboard too:)

Squad news:

Well, We have a new web-site! It was designed by LT Blair Vallyn and I am in the process of getting us a message board in the Tie Corps message center. Please stop by, it's really a great place and if anyone has any news to add to the news section, please contact LT Blair Vallyn. Great work LT!

Also, you all have been really busy I see. We are definitively going to give Wasp a run for their money! Some of you are even making my activity look bad...hehe. Keep it up! I know some of you have had school, real life and some even internet problems so if you didn't participate too much this week. No biggy. It's quite normal. I wish all who are in exams the best of luck, have a great time at your prom and don't worry about your connection. It'll all come together in due time :)

I also have seen that a few of you are suffering from low morale cause of MP comps. If you would like help. Come ask me and I shall help you in everyway I can. E-mail me and we'll work out a schedule to help. I want to make the TC something fun...not just a slaughter fest...
