Cobra Squadron Report #13
CMDR/CPT Blade/Cobra/Wing XIV/ISD Intrepid

The pilots of Cobra Squadron were milling around in the ready room, they waited for their Skipper to give his report and get back to work. Kettch was over in the corner, fiddling with the caf machine. Vessicant sat reading a few intel reports, while Nova Killer played a handheld game sim he picked up on his last leave. In the corner, shrouded in darkness sat a lone figure, Major rank on his tunic.
The door opened and in walked Blade, commander of Cobra Squadron.
“Attention, Commander on deck,” Kettch yelled. Every pilot in the room jumped to attention, Nova almost losing his balance. Blade smiled inwardly as he saw himself not too long ago in Nova’s position.
“As you were,” Blade took his place at the head of the room and began his report to the squad…

Commanders Rant…
As you can see I am going to try to start my reports with a bit of fiction. Seems like a good idea since I won the ASF Runon comp.
Ok on to business, RECRUIT…do I have to say more. We need fresh blood in Cobra. I have been working the zone for any prospects and so far have come up with none yet, the XVT WoW seemed like a good place to look. The XWA WoW starts today so I will try to be there as well.
Activity has been sort of lacking lately, we need to pick it up some. I know that Vess is on leave and Nova has just come back from leave. Kettch has been around doing things, that about covers it I think.

On to the news…
TAC officer has hit 3000 FCHG points!! Way to go Mike…

New(old) Ship patches have been re-released for TIE… see the SCO site for more details.

Squad First project has been released. I hope to have a website built on it for us soon. I only need to figure out how to upload it to Minos.net then we will be all set.

IOA Alex Foley has resigned due to RL obligations. Sorry to see him go he did wonderful things for us all. Good luck Alex!

EH Squadron Wars ends today. Fly anywhere and report games to Battlestats.com I know it’s late but you never know 

CMDRs orders-

1) Be active. This includes flying (SP, MP), writing fiction, IRC, email, whatever.
2) Fly, write and anything for SC:VI, we want to keep the Intrepid as the Flagship of the ASF.
3) Have a good idea for a comp? Let me know and we’ll see what we can come up with.
4) Most importantly, have fun.

Final thoughts-
RECRUIT… we desperately need more pilots in the squadron, I have been emailing cadets and trying to recruit from the zone. So far I have had a couple of answers but I am going to keep on trying. Also I have toyed with the idea of squadron positions, much like what Tiss had when she was CMDR. If I am able to I will work something out. Looks like that is all for this week folks, good luck and may the darkside guide you…
