FLEET NEWS

Sector Rangers and the Imperial Security Bureau
Posted by SO Slade
As Security Officer I'd like to announce the disbanding of the Sector Rangers, and like the phoenix, rising from the ashes of the Sector Rangers comes the Imperial Security Bureau, a badly needed beginning to a well-deserved end.

From veritable rubble and disorganization into an epitome of uniform and order, the ISB is here to serve you and the entire Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet, as an effective investigative/reporting agency. I'm sure many of you worry that the ISB is the same thing that the Sector Rangers were, but I assure you this is not true. Unlike the Sector Rangers, the ISB's goal is to report, not to act upon violations of the AoWs and CoCs.

We aren't the police, and wont try to pretend to be. Merely, if we see a violation of Imperial law, it is reported and documented and sent to the Security Office. I sincerely hope you don't automatically look down on the ISB as the bastard son of the SRs, because I would like to put everything the SRs were or stood for behind us. The ISB is just a way to help keep the trouble makers out of the fleet, discourage ill behavior and create a more enjoyable experience for everyone. Membership in the ISB will be very selective, due to the requirement that the organization must remain small in numbers at this present time; so we are seeking only the best and brightest.

If your interested in joining the ISB, and think you have what it takes to represent the Imperial Justice system, please apply: http://www.hailjamie.com/isb/

Battle For Valkier Results
Posted by FO Priyum Patel
Although a little late in being announced, the full results from Tuesday night's Battle for Valkier can be found by clicking here. In summary, ships from TF Flaming Arrow completely crushed the opposing Silver Saber forces, for whom the most notable loss was the Regulator, an ImpStar Deuce. TF Flaming Arrow will take control of Valkier at the end of Turn IV.

In other ImpStorm news, TF Doom has captured two more planets: Strall and Golst. Including Firixon, this brings their total up to 3 held worlds.

The battle was a success, with a great turnout (the highest number of people was about 57). Many thanks to all those who attended, and helped. My apologies to those of you who didn't get the opportunity to fly, but there will be more chances in the very near future :)

Wing X League
TFRs for TC TIE 139 are due in TOMORROW at 12 noon people! I've only got three on my desk right now and one is mine! Get those TFRs into me ASAP - we need 100% participation to beat Tempest, and if we don't beat Tempest we might as well kiss the League goodbye. We're currently in Second Place, and several of our pilots are in the top 10. I'm sure we can improve...
