Wing News.
The wing is down to it's lowest number of pilots in a long time. Let's get recruiting ppl.
Following Stele's Lead I think I'm going to break Prelude to andievia down into bits. Carl is the only person that has flown or done anything for this competition in this squad.
The Emperor's Hammer routinely sends out scout and expeditionary forces to new worlds beyond its own borders. The reasons for these forces vary. Sometimes they are to evaluate a world for its mineral wealth, other times for its strategic importance.
Expeditionary Force Alpha-Nine-Four (EF-A94) is one of these forces, based upon the planet of Andevia. Andevia is a relatively primitive planet, with rolling hills and vast plains untouched by industrialisation or technology. The native sentient population are a nomadic species, tribal in organisation. It is said their Shamans possess great powers...
EF-A94 has always sent its reports on time. Until recently that is. A few weeks ago, a Rebel fleet exited hyperspace near Andevia's system and started taking an interest in Andevia itself. At the same time, the commander of EF-A94 reported doubt about the loyalty and motives of the other team members.
The EF-A94 team contained talented and skilled members from all branches of the Emperor's Hammer, so their disappearance comes as a shock. It is also worrying. The Emperor's Hammer will be assembling a strike force to go to Andevia. This force will find out exactly what happened to EF-A94.
But first, we must prepare. We must train. We must find the best of the best to lead the strike force.
The assignment for this week will be to write a story based upon the plot so far. So basically you will be extending the intro I've just given you, and will:
Length/Format; At least five (5) pages of single-line text in 10-point Times New Roman or similar font. Submissions can be in Rich Text Format (RTF), Word 6.0, Word 95 or Word 97 format. No text or Word 2000 submissions.
Overview: Write a story based upon the plot thus far, detailing the actual mission at Andevia. This may include the trip to the planet, initial arrival, space confrontation, landings, land confrontation or any other related scenario you can come up with.
Don't worry if you don't feel your English is up to much, Team up with another member of the squad and write up your combined ideas.
The Ratpack returns competition, with the ratpack against the CMDR's of wing II ended in narrow loss for the CMDR's with yours truly setting a high target on his own. Results follow:

January Week of War Results

For XvT:
IS-GW: Verr
