RED ALERT - RED ALERT
New Fleet Wide Comp approching, Everyone to their battleposts

         Grand Admiral Thrawn has asked Grand Admiral Stephan Ronin if he was willing to send two top Emperor´s Hammer Squadrons to the ISD Chimaera to Help Grand Admiral Thrawn in his campaign against the New Republic. To decide which Emperor´s Hammer Squadrons will get such an Honor the Logistics Office Will run a Fleet Wide Comp.

Rewards are still being decided with Operations Office but It will be more than Honor

It will go like this :
TC Code Red - TC-wide 'Training' Competition
Pilots, you've been sitting on your laurels for too damn long. It's time to get out of the cantina and back into the cockpit. And no, I don't mean your fancy state-of-the-art Tie Defender with mini bar and shields. You fly with Thrawn, you fly Tie Fighters and Interceptors, or you don't fly at all.

Grand Admiral Thrawn has asked us to produce the two best squadrons in the EH, one equipped with the basic TIE software, and one squadron with our advanced XvT/XWA system. How we are supposed to pick the best out of you is a mystery to me. I wouldn't trust any of you to fly around the PLT Daedalus without crashing. But we've devised a plan to get the two most worthy squads aboard the ISD Chimaera in a few months with the following competition...
Stage One:
TIE Squadrons - Every TC/DB Squadron with TIE software will fly a training battle specifically tailored to the combat situations you might face aboard the Chimaera. (Thrawn hasn't divulged any of his plans to us yet, so don't assume these will be reproductions of future battles.) Squadrons will have 2 weeks to complete it. The winner of each Wing will proceed to Stage Two.

XvT/XWA Squadrons (single player only) - Same as above, except with XvT/XWA compatible missions.
Stage Two:
TIE Squadrons - The winners of each wing (along with TIE Elite Squadrons) will compete with a second training battle. Squadrons will have 2 weeks to complete it. The two top squadrons will face each other in Stage Three.

XvT/XWA Squadrons (single player only) - Same as above, except with XvT/XWA compatible missions and XvT/XWA Elite Squadrons.
Stage Three:
TIE Squadrons - The two top squadrons will face off against each other by flying a third and final training mission. Both contenders will have 1 week to complete it. The winning squadron will be transferred to the Chimaera.

XvT/XWA Squadrons (single player only) - Same as above, except with XvT/XWA compatible missions.

Scoring: Laserless scoring, and the determination on scores will be the gross total of the pilots' scores, not the average. So full, active squadrons will have an advantage. Start recruiting if you're worried.

Aza'N'Ducky Competition

CPT Hev Randrowan has submitted a Competition:

"Here are as promised the details on the Aza'N'Ducky comp. Every pilot of WingXIII is allowed to take part in this comp (Except Hev of course:).
Goal is to think of a dialog (Or should I say monolog?:) between Aza in his bathtub and his rubberduck. Aza is allowed to anything her wants, but the rubberduck is only allowed to say two words "quack,quack" or another sound that fits the dialog.

Additional GFX like a hat or whatever are allowed as far as Aza still stays in his bathtub and the Ducky remaining at his place. Also, only Aza and Ducky should be involved , no other persons."
