*Wing VI Shuts Down*
05:12 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Yes, those rumours are true. Yesterday, Wing VI onboard the SSSD Sovereign was officially closed down. Increasingly, the number of TIE pilots coming into the TC has declined and both myself and the SovCOM, Vice Admiral Proton, agreed that the Sovereign could no longer support so many TIE Wings. It was not an easy decision, but one we hope will strengthen the other Sov Wings. VI's former WC, Colonel Gen Es'mith, takes over the position of Wing I WC and all VI pilots have been transferred across the other Sov Wings. If anyone has a question or comment about what has happened, then please don't hesitate to email myself and the SovCOM.

*New IWATS Course*
22:06 - AD Havoc [Pellaeon2000@cs.com]
Yet another new IWATS course is out. This time its IWATS Flash, Take it today at http://iwats.stardestroyer.org!

*Imperial Storm Website*
09:40 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
The Imperial Storm III website is now online for viewing. It contains the rules, fleet lists and all the other resources pilots need to take part in this TIE Corps-wide wargame. If you have any questions about ImpStorm, then please email the Flight Officer or WO/VA Pel.

We've had one promotion this week, SL Rondo to LT. Also on the menu have been 3 medals; An ISM for myself, a IS-SR for Phalk and a IS-BW for Tarrafal.

We avoided last place in SoM quite comfortably, this month we have to work extra hard to push Omicron!

The Colossus Squadron League is now in it's fourth week, Eta currently lie in 3rd place so we need to begin closing the gap on Iota and Pi.

Will people please remember to check in with their Flight Leaders at least once a week! And Flight Leaders need to hand in their Flight Reports by Friday night/Saturday morning GMT.

COMMANDER'S CORNER

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


LT Rondo - Get Well Soon!

CPT Vuffi Raa - Come Back Soon!

CPT Phalk Sturm - Carry on as normal

LT Tarrafal - Try flying on easy with cheats on when it's not for a comp, Eta need another 100+ mission a month pilot.

LCM Trowa - Fly something...... and a Flight Report seems to be missing!

LC Indaro Gallia - Fly more, get other people to fly more.


Interesting Facts:

1. SoM goes to the squad which fly's the most missions. These missions can be flown on easy with all cheats enabled for speed.

2. Flying 20 missions in a week earns you an ISM, 40 a PC and 80 a BS.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OFFICIAL STANDING ORDERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Anyone not following these is subject to being removed.

1. I expect all FMs to contact their Flight Leaders at least once a week, either by email, ICQ or IRC etc.

2. I expect everyone to participate in all competitions, except when there is a clash with important RL events, i.e. exams, illness etc
3. I want everyone to fly at least one battle or two free missions a week, alternatively you can create graphics, write fiction or create missions as long as the effort is the same as flying a battle or mission. Competition TFRs count as double, so you only need to fly one free mission if it's for a comp.

4. Flight Leaders - You will report to me at the end of each week detailing which of members of their flight have or haven't reported in and what they've done during the past week. Also, you will pass on to me any TFRs, fiction, graphics etc. you receive from your pilots.

5. Flight leaders - You are expected to be an example to your flight members and should typify what they are trying to become. I expect regular contact from you and input into how the squadron should be run and any changes that could be made for the better.

It doesn't take long to fly 2 free missions, you can even do it on easy if you must, you only need to fly on hard when it's a comp and scores are important.
