Odin Weekly Squadron Report #10
Memorial Edition
Release Date: 09/14/01
Legions of Palpatine
By LC DS-61-4
Of all the legends of the Imperial, one of the most strangest is that of the Legion of Palpatine. Most bizarre of all are the many valid accounts of these otherworldly warriors, their unexpected appearance upon desperate battlefields, and their sudden and inexplicable disappearance at the battle's end. The account of Hammer's Fist: General Fugazi is the most recent report of this mystery.
"On the third night of fighting, the Alliance took the Great Bastion from us. Despair settled in our hearts, for all hope of rescue was now gone. Of all our company I counted thirty-seven living, and of these but twenty-five unhurt. The Alliance gathered about us in darkness. The chanting and cursing of their allies haunted us as they mustered to the attack. An hour before dawn I called my company to prayer and, since our Krath Priest was slain, we made our peace with the Emperor in battle fashion.
It was as I raised my eyes from prayer that I saw a strange host where moments before there was nothing but darkness. At first I thought it was some connivance of the Rebels, but as the host advanced I realized it was of Storm Troopers, though not of any squadron nor chapter of the Emperor's Son's. Their armor was colored black and upon it was drawn chilling images of bones and fire, and on their helms they bore skulls. As they advanced an eerie glow shrouded them and fire seemed to dance about there feet. Like the bones of men in the torment of purgatory they were, so that they looked more like skeletons then living men. Yet not a sound did they make.
For a while I believed this to be some phantasm, a vision of ancient or dark times, for I heard the Emperor grants such sites to those of his warriors who face death in there name. But it was not so, for soon the ghostly warriors reached the Rebels' battleline, and suddenly the air was full of laser fire and battle-din, and the Rebel Insurgents were screaming and crying in their terror. We that remained watched the dark battle-brothers at their work, and never before or since have I seen fighting such as I witnessed that dawn. Seizing the moment, I regrouped my company, and led them to war. Yet there was little work left for us, for the Rebels lacked the spirit to fight. Soon we secured the Great Bastion once more and with out a further loss. Of the dark brotherhood there was no sign."

Wordly News:
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with a heavy heart that I right this report this week. On Tuesday, September 11th 2001, Terrorists attacked two symbols of American econimic and military power killing what is feared to be thousands of innocent people. Two large commercial jets loaded with enough fuel to cross the country left from Boston's Logan Airport heading for LA when they diverted from there courses and hit the Twin Towers of the New York World Trade Center. The towers soon fell leaving a 5story pile of rubble each of what was once two 110 story towers. It is estimated abouted 20,000 people were in each tower when the first plane hit. While not long after the two planes hit, another jetliner that left from an Airport in New Jersey, hit the Pentagon, the headquarters for the United States Military. This wasn't over yet. Not long after a 4th plane crashed into a rural part of Pennsylvania, approximately 80 miles south of Pittsburgh and luckily not hitting any buildings to take more innocent lives than what had already been done.
It is feared thousands of people were killed in these cowardly attacks by a faceless enemy. But the United States along with so many others including all of NATO, Russia, China, and South Africa and many more have vowed to take steps to rid the planet of terrorism to make the world a bit safer place. All 18 Hijackers of the 4 doomed american flights have been identified, and accomplis' are being rounded up world wide.
If I could ask one thing, it is that today, being the United States official day of Remembrance and Mourning of this tragic accident that you please give a 5 minute moment of silece as so many of us Americans have done today. If you have the heart, at 7pm many will be lighting a candle as well in remembrance. Please I only ask a small ammount, please give some respect to these innocent lives that have been lost in America's darkest moment in history.
Sincerely,
Brandon Wagner AKA Captain Raxis Krieger

Final Thought this week...
Its been a very hard set of days this week, mentally, on me. Watching two icons of my countries power, be attacked and damaged if not destroyed within minutes. It goes to show how fast something can be taken away from you. I do vow this, I will make it up to my squadron this week and fly twice as hard to produce many many more points for us. I do wish the same from you though. Fly hard guys!
