<SALUTE>

CMDR Ramblings...

Everyone give a warm welcome to the newest member of Cobra Squadron, SL Sega! We're back up to 5 again after losing Dagger. Unfortunately if Dagger was still here we could begin some interesting squadron competitions since we'd have 6 members, but we're not. That means we need to increase our efforts to pull some other pilots into the squad. 

There are two other big news items. The first is a rather sad one, our Wing Commander, Dengar, AKA Darth Snuggles aka Khadengar, AKA, well he's quite the chameleon isn't he? :) Has stepped down. COL Wil Striker, formerly CMDR of Asp has been named the new Wing Commander so welcome him aboard.

Finally we are now in the throngs of ASF Supremecy Competition 4! The ship which earns the most points becomes the flagship for the ASF, here is how you earn points:

Promotions/Awards...
None.

Arrivals/Transfers...
SL Sega transfers in from the Daedlaus.

Pilots on Leave...
LCM Vessicant is on a partial leave due to exams. (Good Luck!)

EH/Tie Corps News...
EH Field Trip news!
Plans are in the works for an EH Day in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It will be held at the world-famous Kennywood Park. The park contains the famed ThunderBolt and Steel Phantom (remodelled and called Phantom's Revenge), which the Discovery Channel rated as the #1 and #5 best coasters in the entire world! 
The likely date will be in July/August. Please contact gmfphoenix@aol.com and BradTack@isdcolossus.com if you'd be able to attend so it can be scheduled when it's most accomodating. We hope to see many EH members there!
Battlestats news. The Battlestats system removes you from the EH if you're inactive there for 100 days. If you get removed simply log in at www.battlestats.com and select the EH as your club.
Sadly Wing VI is no more. The wing has shut down due to decreasing numbers of people who
are flying Tie Fighter. Wing VI's WC COL Gen Es'mith has been made the WC of Wing I and all the Wing VI pilots have been transferred to all Sovereign squads.
Vice Admiral Lohr Zadash has stepped down as COM of the ISD Relentless and has been replaced by former Wing IX WC, RA Krax Tarnisar. Good Luck to both.
There's a new IWATS course out, this one teaching Flash. Take a look at it by going to http://iwats.stardestroyer.org
The Imperial Storm III website is now online for viewing. It has the rules, fleet lists
and other resources for pilots who wish to take part in this Tie Corps-wide wargame.
The site is at http://www.emperorshammer.net/wo/is3/ and any other questions can be sent
to the Flight Officer or War Officer VA Pel(palinathas@aol.com)
Wing XV has a new Wing Commander it's none other then MAJ Ekim Yellek. He's one of the coolest guys I know in the TC so wish him the best.
For about a year now, the Internet Office has been working (and primarily taking breaks in working) on a site redirection service for the Emperor's Hammer, similar to TSX and CJB.net. Well, that service is now a reality.
Stardestroyer.org, my domain, now hosts this service. Any EH member can apply for a http:// yourname.stardestroyer.org redirect, free-of-charge and free-of-porn-banners. Since TSX redirects will soon be banned by the EH, I suggest you switch over now. The sign-up takes 2 seconds, and your account is activated immediately! 
Take a few moments of your time to check it out:

Wing/Ship News...
As mentioned above, we've had our WC Dengar step down and now have COL Wil Striker in charge of the wing.
ASP & Copperhead Squadrons need CMDR's, if interested in applying mail Brakka & Wil Striker.


Commander's Orders...
Recruit! We need one more ASAP to start competitions!
Fly MP events, give it a shot. You may be surprised.
Fly SP missions. Fly the XVT,XWA, TF, or XW battles. I don't mind the work processing them :)
No matter what check in with me atleast once a week. Especially if you didn't send me a battle or fly in a MP comp so I know you're alive.
