Thought for the week
If you think things can't get worse it's probably only because you lack sufficient imagination.
Squadron News
No news this time. Come on you guys; wake up and assassinate someone! It's our job!
Please inform me about ANY kind of squadron-, wing-, or ship-based activity you might be engaged in... And no, that doesn't include sleeping or drinking beer!
Announcements
FreeWorlds Clones and the TC....
FA Cyric
I want to remind everyone that the clones created for the FreeWolds "Experiment" MUST have different e-mail addresses than those of your primary profile. Please make sure that, if you slipped through the cracks with the same e-mail address that you change it.
It is long standing EH policy that if clones are allowed, they MUST have different e-mail addresses.
Fleet Manual Updates
FA Ender mBind
The Fleet Manual (the official spacecraft technical referance of the Emperor's Hammer) has been ported to php/database. The main URL of the Fleet Manual will remain the same, but if you have any links towards craft profiles or anything within the Fleet Manual you will need to update those.
With the port the Fleet Manual has been updated as well: Many new craft were added (25), about all these craft now have graphics that show them from all angles, all craft have their full XWA statistics added, all patches are linked up etc.
This does not mean this version of the Fleet Manual is finished. More craft and graphics will be added soon, as will more complete reference lists etc. Also the entire Order of Battle still needs to be ported (in FM links at least) :)
The Fleet Manual is located at: http://www.minos.net/~sco/fleet-manual/index.html

Craft Essay Competition
FA Ender mBind [mindb_ender@hotmail.com]
Start Date: 10/1/2004
End Date: 11/1/2004
Parties Involved: All Emperor's Hammer Members except for the SCO
Medals to be Awarded: 1st IS-GR, 2nd IS-SR, 3rd IS-BR or equalivalent SG medal.
Write an essay about your favorite Star Wars ship: Why was it designed? What are its main uses? Its History? Its strengths and shortcomings?
Essays need to be from "inside" the Star Wars universe, and from an Emperor's Hammer point of view is encouraged (but not required).
DO research on your craft of choice, your essay cannot conflict with official sources. If you use sources, list these at the end. (This means a fairly unknown or EH craft gives you more freedom then one that is well documented.. but also that you will need use your own logic and imagination more.)
Essays can be any length, if you want to write about the entire history of the "Millenium Falcon" you're free to do so, but a short but effective story about the TUG has just as much chance to win.
Essays need to be in .txt, .rtf, .html or .doc format and zipped. Send your submission to sco@emperorshammer.org with "Craft Essay Competition" as subject.
The best entries may be included in the the Fleet Manual, a seperate additional ISM (or equalivalent) will be rewarded for those.

Pilot of the Week
Errrr... I seem to be the only pilot who's awake...
Perhaps we should organize a snoring contest and see who wins?
Commander's Thoughts
Are we an Assassination Squadron, or a retirement home?!?? Come on men; FLY! Go out and kill something (New Republican targets are preferable)!!!
Also, none of you contacted me. If you want to be pacif... ehhh... transfered to the reserves, please let me know. If you want to be a pilot or flight leader, show me at least some motivation!
