Squadron News
-I'm suffering a hard case of BSF withdrawal, which is causing me physical pain. A CMDR needs to BSF, and I am addicted to it.
FLY AND GIVE ME SOME, DAMMIT!
-I STILL have veeeeery very few submissions for Kappa vs Theta+Sin. Deadline is in only 7 days. Do I need to say I want tfrs? If you have problems with it, perhaps someone who flown it already could give some tips out to the squad.
-Sadly COL Calias will be transfered to the Reserves due to inactivity, so our number will drop. We'll miss you Calias, and we hope you rejoin someday.
-We are waiting for two possible new incorporations, so stay tuned for more.
-Wing II has a new MB! Go check it out, wear eye protection and post at http://www.tiecorps.org/mb/view.asp?b=72&v=0&s=0
-All of you report to Algaron's quarters with some shaving cream, female underwear, a stuffed owl, and some midget girls, as we are gonna "say" happy birhthday to him ;)
-This week's Ol' Roasty's word o' advice: "A BSF a day keeps your commanding officer away. From the book: How to make a Roasty Happy, by CM Jan Wemmel"

Squadron Orders
-Kappa vs Theta+Sin is ON!!! Fly TC-TIE 177 before August 20th and submit!!! GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
the comp is average based, so we need lots of high scores!!! Fly on hard peeps!!
GO GO GO GO!!! TOP PRIORITY!!!
-The Wing II Arena is ON!!! Get your engines hot for this new exciting comp from the hands of the Frod himself. Let's hear him from the WC-folk himself: "The Arena is a monthly intra-wing competition that combines both individual pilot strength and squadron honor for a vicious gladiatorial melee! In the Arena, at the beginning of the month, all squadrons are given a battle or F-TIE to fly. All pilots will be given two weeks to fly the mission(s), and the CMDR will report the highest laserless scorer - the gladiator - in their squad to Ford. The gladiators will then uphold their squadron's honor in a
melee against each other. After a week's respite, the top gladiators will be given another mission or battle to fly, and the highest laserless scorer will be announced. This gladiator's squadron will be proclaimed Champions of the Arena, and the pilot himself given an Iron Star - Silver Wings in tribute for his courage."
Cool huh? I WANT KAPPA AS CHAMPIONS OF THE ARENA!!
First battle is TC-TIE 116, get it from the Wing Report. The deadline is August 20th, same as the K vs T+S.
GET FLYIN'!!!
-WAKE UP AND FLY SOME

The Training Office is running two small competitions. The first one is to come up with a motto for Daedalus. Details are available on http://www.imperialacademy.org/comps/daedalusmotto/. The other competition is related to which ship, wing and squadron will get to be in the first issue of a cadet newsletter of sorts which the training office will be starting soon. Details of that are on http://www.imperialacademy.org/comps/shamelesspromotion/.
TAC Troubles...
"Why isnt the TAC doing ...." The TAC's Network connection is being annoying. All your emails ARE being read, but until my connection is stabilized i will be at a diminished capacity. Needless to say, Network Administration have a nice stack of complaints in their email boxes, and i hope to have this sorted ASAP.

ImpStorm battles

For details on these, please click here.The time of the battle is Thursday 9th August at 11PM GMT / 6PM EST in the channel #project_faithful. Please attend the battles if you can!
Episode II Title: Attack of the Clones
The title for the next installment of the Star Wars prequel trilogy will be entitled Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. Like most Star Wars titles, this is a very blunt to-the-point title similar in such to Return of the Jedi. The following is taken from the news report posted on starwars.com:
"starwars.com is pleased to announce that Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones is the full title for the next Star Wars film, scheduled for release in 2002. Attack of the Clones joins The Phantom Menace, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as chapter titles in the six-episode Skywalker saga. It harkens back to the sense of pure fun, imagination and excitement that characterized the classic movie serials and pulp space fantasy adventures that inspired the Star Wars saga."

EH Timeline - Thrawn Trilogy
As you may, or may not, know a competition based around the Emperor's Hammer Timeline which involves the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn is set to start on the 15th of August. This is set to be a huge project with around 120 missions required to get through the story, along with a lot of plot to accommodate for the involvement of all the subgroups of the Emperor's Hammer. Thus we need your help in order to complete this, so if you are any good at making missions, or at writing fiction and wish to help please contact VA Goatham (rgoatham@aol.com), AD Ramos (magedon42@aol.com) and COL Blackbird (dex@cyborrea.cjb.net) for further details on what we would require from you, thank you.
New EuroLoC time
Hello pilots. I come to you to inform about new time of Euroloc. As always, it's on Saturday, but 09:00-12:30 EST (15:00-18:30 GMT).
FMC suspending new membership
As from now on, the Fleet Medical Corps will not take any new applicants or transfer/assign already present personnel. This is due to an internal FMC operation where information about will be released later. This recruitment/assignment stop will last for at least one month.
