Thought for the week
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four pilots is suffering from some form of mental illness.
Think of your three fellow flight-members. If they are okay, then it's you.
Squadron News
"News" would imply that there was some activity within our squadron... Well; there wasn't any.
Even my own activity reached a low this week, since I've been sick. Let's hope next week will be different...
Announcements
Magazine mention for the TIE Corps
SA Astatine
The Australian gaming magazine, Hyper, recently ran a fairly comprehensive article on the history of Star Wars games. We get a mention as a fansite.
COL Torres scanned the article pages and they're up here. Take note that some of the images are over 200k. The mention of the TIE Corps is on the 4th page.

FW: EH-CG Hostilities
HA Priyum Patel
Freeworlders: Be advised that the Commerce Guild now lists us as Hostile, so I have returned the favour. Do NOT dock at Freedom One in Bespin under any circumstances.
Disruption of their trade (and only their's) is approved.
As always, you can view our Allies & Hostiles list here.
New SOV BGCOM Chosen
FA Cyric
With the retirement of AD Proton, I have chosen GN Stele Pallaeon as the new SOVBGCOM. GN Stele has been a long and active member with the SOVBG. I feel that he will be able to lead the Sov with the same intensity and resiliency as AD Proton had, and will continue to lead for some time. With that GN Stele is promoted to the rank of VA and given the duties if BGCOM.
Congrats Stele!

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.

RO Banner Competition
FA Cyric
The Recon Office is holding a two-part contest. First part, an EH-Wide banner comp. The banner needs to be in a traditional rectangle-shape, but the exact size I will give some room to work with.
This comp will continue thru November 20th, 2004 at midnight.
Now, the second part is voting. I will have the banners set up on a website and, probably through the polling center, have the EH vote on they want to be set up at the booth.
I want everyone to remember, this banner will represent the entire EH at the largest Star Wars convention EVER! This needs to be the best banner we have. I can't emphasize this enough.
For more information contact AD Joe at noon001@aol.com

Pilot of the Week
*Sigh* Me....
Commander's Thoughts
They say that sometimes the best solution to morale problems is just to fire all the unhappy people.... And judging by the activity-rate of the Wasp pilots, they are quite an unhappy bunch. So, should you be unhappy with your position as a Wasp Squadron pilot, please let me know. I'll make you happy. Being happy is mandatory!
If you're not happy, you'll soon find out why Wasp is an assassination-squadron!
