the continued dedication he's shown!
Admiral Jarak Maldon
resigns
05:22 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Last night during the TIE Corps meeting, AD Jarak Maldon announced his decision to
retire from his position as Battlegroups Commander. This was sent out from him:
Friends,
A time comes for everything to come to an end. Indeed the
sun as set on my time as Battlegroup Commander. I've served since September of
2000 until now, a total time of nearly eight months. During that time I can
easily say I had the most fun in the Emperor's Hammer of my entire career. I've
done a lot of things, met a lot of fine people, and made quite a few friends.
That is why it saddens me to leave.
During my time some have called me the
greatest Battlegroup Commander there was. I don't know if that is true, as I
find it hard to believe I can rival people like Kyle Kessler and Valtane Ricaud,
but it still makes me feel very appreciated. I am glad to have served in this
position and if I was indeed the best then I hope whoever comes next will be
better.
Many ask, why are you doing this? One of the primary rules in the
Emperor's Hammer is to have fun, to enjoy yourself. Over the past few weeks I
have found my time to be short and my involvement in this fine organization to
be just another chore to be done alongside everything in my life. The coming
time ahead will be equally as hectic, and if I were to continue I would only do
harm to the stable Battlegroups. I don't know what I'll do next, perhaps wait in
the reserves for a while and pursue a position in the command staff, maybe as an
attaché or even an inquisitor. I don't know yet.
I would like to take
the time to thank several people for making my experience very enjoyable here.
First off is the command and the crew of the Imperial Star Destroyer Relentless.
When I came here from the command staff I was openly accepted into the command
of this ship despite the fact I wasn't a long-standing member. I served there as
Wing Commander and Commodore and I still think they are the finest bunch of
merry officers there is. They know how to have fun and be active. For this
reason they are truly a fine jewel in the crown that is the TIE Corps.
Next I
would like to offer my thanks to Valtane Ricaud, current commander of the
Relentless. Val was there as COM when I became the WC and he was more than
willing to show me how to do the job right. When he ascended to BGCOM and I to
his old position he was always willing to give me pointers and much-needed
advice. He understood command more than anyone I ever knew in the Emperor's
Hammer and was always willing to help. For that I am very grateful. Good luck,
Ricaud.
Kyle Kessler was always a helpful person. He was a Flight Officer
that was willing to take time and help out with my command of the Relentless,
even it meant yelling at me silly for stupid crap I did. Kessler made sure I did
my job and I have him to thank for keeping me in line and performing my best.
You are one of the best officers this organization has ever seen, Kess. Best of
luck to you in the future.
The subject of Kessler gets me to Tornado
Squadron. They took me in when the command staff spit me out and gave me a good
home until I left for wing commandership. I didn't spend much time there but I
was convinced that they were the most active, dedicated group of people I'd ever
meet. Now they are elite vets and still as hale as ever. I have no doubt they'll
give other squadrons hell for a long time to come.
Vice Admiral Adrenaline
was inspiration to me since she was, and still is, such an excellent commodore.
I've never seen someone so devoted to a ship as Adren is to the Immortal. That
is what command is all about, involvement. I hope you continue your career in
the Emperor's Hammer to the greatness you have now as the Immortal's
COM.
This goes way back to my days in Wing I, but it is still important. The
first true commander I've ever known was General Wolly. It has been a long time
since I've served under him and we've not always been on the best of terms, but
I still admire his endurance. He has served for years as the commander of Wing
I, and that takes a lot of effort. I can easily say I respect Wolly a great
deal. I hope that his command continues for a long time to come. And finally my
best regards to the TIE Corps Battlegroups. You are the best I've ever seen. I
hope you continue to be one of the greatest units in the TIE Corps. Treat your
new BGCOM well and never forget those who came before. Never forget the efforts
of Rapier, Piett, Kessler, Ricaud, Theodore, and myself. The position of
Battlegroup Commander isn't a worthless one, no, it is one with tremendous
worth. I was glad to have called myself a Battlegroup Commander. To me it was a
great honor.
And now the time has come for me to go. Goodbye, everyone, and
good luck.
Glory to the Empire! Glory to the Emperor's
Hammer!
Admiral Jarak Altivs Maldon
With this, I will be
taking applications for a new Battlegroup Commander. The requirements and
qualifications are as follows:
- You must have been in the TIE Corps for at least 1 year
- You must have held the position of Wing Commander and be ranked Lieutenant Colonel or higher
- Applications should contain a brief summary of your history of Command in the TIE Corps (and not other Subgroups)
- You must be familiar with the workings of the Fleet (protocols, policies etc)
- The important bit: I want you to tell me why you want the position of BGCOM, what role you see the BGCOM plays in the TC and why you think you should be appointed to the position
All applications should be sent to spellfire@btinternet.com & pellaeon2000@cs.com by this Friday. If you've already sent an application that doesn't contain what I've asked for above, then please send it again. You may list up to 1 reference, but do NOT get people to email me on your behalf - doing so will automatically disqualify you.

Vanguard Competition
Results! Pilots: (top 5) If you think a mistake has been made,
contact me very soon - so I can correct it. I doubt the outcome of
Echo, Strahd and Staneth winning will change by that though... but
for the record:)
submitted by: VA Ender
mBind
Allright! Yesterday was the last day of
the Vanguard Competition, we've collected the scores and came to
these results:
Squadrons:
1. Echo Squadron: 134
Points
2. Wasp Squadron: 93 Points
3. Mantis Squadron: 33
Points
4. Python Squadron: 14 Points
Congrats Echo!
You'll be having me in your squad for the next 2 weeks.... i hope
you guys have a spot in the T/B Flight for me;)
1. CM Strahd
(Echo) - 119 Points
2. LT Argos Staneth (Wasp) - 58 Points
3. MAJ Jdf1984 (Wasp) - 21 Points

Congrats Strahd and Staneth, you'll be getting your medals
(IS-SW and -BW) ASAP! Great work!
Generally there has been very good activity all
round, though Python seems to have been slacking off a bit. About
1/3rd of the wing participated, which is definitely not a bad
score:)

Getting a new Wing XV
Commander... |
Upon RA Khadgar's promotion to GWCOM we
have been put into a WCless period again:( Currently I'm looking for the following in a WC, though that is ofcourse not as hard as it looks, more flexible like: - At least 2 successful months of CMDR of a
Wing XV Squadron sometime in TC career. As you can see, I definitely want to
next WC to be Vanguard "home grown", but that first
requireement does narrow it down quite a lot. (only (ex) Vanguard
CMDRs) The people for who this aplies will get a more elaborate
"invitation" email today. The rest of the requirements
come from a long time of experiance in WC/COM by Khadgar,Cyric and
me. The first few requirements are practically the same as those for
GWCOM were, as that is what VA Cyric looks for in his ASF staff.

At the recommendation of Vice Admiral Cyric and with full support from the Flight Office, current Vanguard Commodore, RA Ender mBind has been promoted to the rank of Vice Admiral for the tireless work he's done for his Command, and the continued dedication he's shown!! |
Wing XV WC promoted to GW COM |
I am announcing the new COM of the ISD
Greywolf. This has been a very difficult decision for me because I
want to make sure that the ISD Greywolf is left in capable hands.
She has a new WC in Maj Azazel and I needed to find a perfect fit. I
am confident that the person chosen will lead the GW into the future
and glory that it has seen in the past and I am confident that this
person is the best fit for the ASF!!
So with out further ado, I Present the new
Commodore of the ISD Greywolf, Flag Ship of the Aggressor Strike
