CMDR/CM Dae Cam reporting for Talon Squadron on 7.19.01:

…Striding onto the Flight Deck, you find yourself surrounded by a flurry of activity. In one corner, technicians frantically outfit a series of new fighters which just arrived aboard the ISD Subjugator along with the new pilots. Nearer to Hangar doors, a team of maintenance personnel surround a set of 3 fighters, painting the red shadows of Talon squadron’s first fills on their wings…

Sorry about the late report, and the brief intro, but I’ve been very busy and wasn’t able to send it any sooner.

SQUADRON STATUS:
-----------------------------

Structural Issues:
- Motto’s and Nicks: This is the last week this will be up here, I want a definite set of motto’s by next Wednesday. Recently, we’ve had several suggestions for mottos and nicks. I’d like to submit them all at once, so for now, I’ll outline those that I’ve got slated in (of course, feel free to make more suggestions if you feel you’ve got something more appropriate):
SQUADRON: Nick: Night Stalkers Motto: Death awaits in the Darkness
Flight I: Nick: --- Motto: Kill one, terrify a thousand.
Flight II: Nick: Hellbringers Motto: We are the last flight to Hell
Flight III: Nick: --- Motto: By way of deception, thou shall do war.

Competitions:
- Talon Weekly Kill Competition:
- Each week, I assign a battle to be flown. Because Talon is a multi-platform squadron, the battle selection will alternate between TIE, XvT, and XWA.
- Pilot files for the assigned battle are to be submitted to the me before the next Wednesday evening (MTS - Canada) when the weekly report is sent out. The top three scorers from each week will be awarded 3,2, and 1 kill(s) for 1st, 2nd, 3rd respectively. Additionally, to encourage MP activity and interaction among pilots, 1 kill will be awarded to anyone who flies an XvT battle on a team with at least one other pilot. These winners will be announced in the report. Further, on the Talon Squadron homepage each pilot will have his kills painted onto his fighter as a means of keeping track of them. For each 20 kills that a pilot has, he will be awarded an IS-BW. This will be an ongoing competition through the year.
- This week’s Battle will be TC-XvT 10 (see attachment, or DL from Mission compendium on TC site)

- Wing Banner: COL Smitrock requires a banner for Wing XX to be made... the deadline is fast approaching. Send any submissions to him. The creator of the banner that he likes best will be awarded an Iron Star – Bronze Ribbon.

- Commodore’s Escort:
- As was outlined in the COM’s last report, every two weeks, a mission will be selected. The highest score on said mission will be awarded the title of Commodore’s Escort for the next two weeks, as well as a small competition medal. This period’s assigned mission is: FREE-TIE #1 (see attachment, or DL from Mission compendium, on TC site)

- Fiction Creation:
- if you are the type of person who enjoys writing fiction, the COM, RA Jeff 'Tiger' Loruss, will accept two submissions of fiction from each pilot per month. The fiction that he likes best will be included with his bi-weekly report, and the writter will recieve a small medal as reward.


- IMPERIAL STORM
- Watch http://news.tiecorps.org for regular updates about imperial strom happenings.
- I hope to see everyone who is able involved in this wargame, and plan on offering training and practice in the piloting tactics and skills necessary. Please contact me and arrange a time to meet if you are interested. One very interesting thing that came out of the last game, was that the organizers have agreed to allow more than 2v2 combat… 8 people flew in the first wave.
- A listing of the weekly multiplayer (MP) competitions can be found at http://www.tiecorps.org/combat/calendar.asp


Standing Orders:
At the present, I have only one standing order:
Each Wednesday, you will receive a report similar to this one. In order for me to properly credit you I would ask that all Flight Members make report their week’s activities to their Flight Leader by Monday night, and that the Flight Leaders submit their flight’s compiled activity report by Tuesday night. (NOTE - What to include in your report: Try to make your report similar to the activity listing shown below, and include anything other activity which is EH related – eg: graphics work, presence on IRC, fiction, etc… )
