Squadron News/Orders:

Ongoing competitions:

CMDR’s Challenge:

Coming into the last week, it’s: CMDR 2, Squadron 0. Did I mention that a new shipment of "toys" for Harold came in last week? I’m sure he’s anxious to try them all out.
Battles needing 1 more pilot for a citation:
TIE-TC 6,8,9,13,30,76,77,78,116

COM/VA Proton’s Free Mission Blast:

EHTPT: The Emperor's Hammer TIE Pilot Tour

A competition open to all Sov pilots. Officially, the competition started March 1, but only 6 pilots registered, so there should be room for more. It appears to be set up as an elimination tournament, go to http://212.242.141.115/ehtpt for more details, or email CPT
Jens Vigsted (vigsted@email.dk) or CM Jack Stone.

Activity:

I haven’t heard or received anything from anybody. Either we’ve become an entirely IRC squadron, or we’re on the brink of total inactivity. I’ve got some squadron competitions scheduled for the coming weeks. Before the end of the month, if I haven’t seen either participation or explanation, you’ll be off my plantation. (Stop me before I rhyme again!)
