News:
First of all welcome COL Frodo March to Prae! It's been awhile since we've had a new pilot join up.
November's mse is over with and nearly all awards have been handed out;p. except for one I've spoken to VA Scrier about;p.
Prae recruitment update: both FA Cyric & AD Aseret have approved the praetorian trial changes that will allow promising new pilots a chance to join Prae with a min rank of LCM & a min level of 400 FCHG. Those who survive the trials and are excepted into Prae will have three months to attain the rank of CM & 500 FCHG if they don't accomplish this task they will get the boot!

Also, the TIE-TCC MAJ Apophis Kuma need testers (TCS)- so if anyone wants to help out in that TAC division area let me know.
It seems we Prae's have infiltrated the TAC division as well;p.

Flight Deck:
I'm going to post notices of bugged battles/missions here so nobody wastes their time attemting to fly the incompletable/impossible;p.
XWA-FCHG4 (mission 4 is bugged)- I've reported this to GN Master.
BoP-ID1 (mission 4 is incompletable)- I've reported this to VA Styles
XvT-TC#11... Mission 7 is completable (barely) but still horribly bugged (this just in from MAJ Dolsar Saris a few weeks ago).
and these new FXWA bug reports in from CPT Deimos this week:
XWA Free 25 -> There are not enough points to
match the current high score. I have tried all
difficulty settings, and the best score is only
about half the HS.

XWA Free 26 -> Not only is this mission rather
demanding, but the problem is in the escape buoy:
it is present for only a fraction of a second,
and it doesn't work, meaning the player is stuck
in region #2 and cannot finnish the mission.
I have tried this one on 'hard' only because it
takes a lot of time to finish. I can try playing
it on other settings, but somehow I (GN Master is working on fixing this one).

XWA Free 97 -> There is nothing to do but inspect
the 'exit buoy.' If that mission was supposed to
be a maze, I found myself flying outside of it.
This means the best (and only) score that I can
make is 250 points. I played that one on 'hard'
only.

I encourage the rest of Prae to participate in this section- send in info on known bugged battles/missions of all platforms.

Orders:
-Monthly flying requirements will be implemented after New Year's in January: It'll be a mandatory requirement to fly at least one battle or four free missions a month, I will allow you to fly MP matches in place of the missions if you wish (I'm easy to work with after all);p.
-Help create some Praetorian Trivia questions for AD Aseret the SDIR! (As needs some Prae related trivia for an ID comp- any help would be apreciated).
-Participate in the new round of Praetorian Trivia: (http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=1610).
alright guys time to restart the traditional Praetorian Trivia comp. Standard rules apply: you have one week to answer all round one questions before I begin round II, send all answers directly to me at my e-mail addy (ezwill@famvid.com), and all wrong answers equal -1 off your round total.

Round III questions:
Still under development (after the TCHC report is taken care of I'll start working on these);p.

Round II answers:
What starfighter did the R-22 Spearhead serve as the design basis for? The A-Wing.

Yavin 4 is the largest of how many moons orbiting the gas giant Yavin? 13

Cloud City is based on what platform? the Floating Home.

The moon of Endor is commonly known as the _____ or Forest Moon? Sanctuary or from one Imperial Report "out of the way moon".

In Yoda's house he was cooking what kind of Stew when he told Luke "wars not make one great"? Rootleaf Stew or Dagobah Stew.

What did R2-D2 & Yoda play "tug of war" when shortly after Luke's arrival on Dagobah in Episode V? a power lamp.

participation results so far:
COL Morgan had 14/20 correct
MAJ Evo Sarnojk had 7/20 correct
(I ignored the -1 for each incorrect answer this round due to low participation).
There's still plenty of opportunitys in Round III to catch up!

-RECRUIT, our numbers are dwindling fast, remember our requirements for being accepted to take the Prae trials are the rank of LCM with 400 FCHG; however, for a full status Prae it's still CM with at least 500 FCHG.
http://praetorian.rawx.net/join.php (the only exception to this rule I'm allowing is former Prae's who served more than three months).

-work on improving your own personal FCHG levels- remember we do have a few squadron specific rewards related to this! ;p.

For every 10 squadron citations you earn for Prae I will recommend you for a ISM.

LC Malik 15 citations
