News:
Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all the best in the new year- may we Prae's be even more sucessfull this year! ;p.
Due to the hard work of the tactical office staff (which is quite a few of us Prae's- Frodo, myself & Saris;p) BoP-TC23, FXvT173 & FXvT174 have been released.
FXvT174 features Prae vs Hunter squadron- Frodo went out of his way to make sure this was an honorable free mission living up to the standards of Praetorian & I thank him for his efforts for the squad! More XvT will be released soon as well!
Congratulations to LC Saris & COL Morgan on earning some nice Iron Stars from HA Cyric from the XvT X-Mas comp last week, well done guys!
We have all the flight motto's now- MAJ Deimos suggested a new alternate for flight II which I've added to this report.
instead of "we'll take you to hell and back" he suggested "we'll take you to hell and leave you there." I kind of like it;p.
Also, I've submitted all the flight motto's into the TC database for approval (to be added to our roster).

~A shimmery blue screen sharpens and focuses. A little residue static remains, but the picture is clear, tri-dee and obviously important- the
Emperor's Hammer prefers briefings to be sent bi-dee, or even in text.
***A robed figure walks into view, unclips robe and places it carefully on a stool behind itself before addressing the screen.
"Salutations. As you may or may not know, I am an Inquistor of the High Court. As you certainly will not know, I am currently authorized to appropriate
any Emperor's Hammer unit as I see fit, in order to... complete... a set of circumstances that the High Court has become involved with. My
authorization identity codes are to be transmitted separately. Naturally, you are welcome to wait until they arrive before complying with my instructions,
but this would be... inadvisable.
To business. In short, the High Court requires possession of a data disc containing a tri-dee hologramatic recording. The nature of this recording
is not important. What is, however, is that we require the possession of this disc, and as soon as possible. The disc is currently in transit towards
New Republic-held territories, on board a so-called "neutral" diplomatic vessel. The disc must be recovered, it is cared not how. However, Emperor's
Hammer involvement must not be made public.
To this end, the High Court has been given access to any unit required. Praetorian Squadron is, and as of
Imperial Stardate 05122004-0030GMT has been placed under the High Court's jurisdiction. Correct, weare appropriating Praetorian. Full command will be
restored upon successful completetion of the mission.
As I mentioned; full appropriation orders, authorization codes from the Fleet Commander and additional materials will be sent under separate cover.
For the Empire."
***The figure salutes the screen, and then turns and nods to someone, or something, out of view and the tri-dee image fizzles and snaps to a single point of
light which then blinks out, to be replaced with glowing blue text:

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).
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.
XWA-TC 33 I've played mission 1 on all difficulty
settings, and there are not enough points to match
the official score. For mission 2 I only tried 'hard',
and there are also not enough points to match the
current high score. At least that old HS is mine.
:-)
Missions 3 and 4 really gave me a lot of trouble.
I knew Kodiak was good multiplay flyer (we flew
together once), but I never figured I would have
that many problems breaking his high scores.
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 are now in place: It's 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).
-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; however, they must still have the min required FCHG of 500). We are elite after all.
-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.
current citations listings:
LC Malik 16 citations (about now I wish i could cash these in for a ISM too);p.
COL Frodo 4 citations
MAJ Deimos 1 citation
MAJ Drak 5 citations
MAJ Chris Cox 3 citations
COL Morgan 1 citation
LC Dolsar Saris 2 citations
MAJ Evo Sarnok 8 citations
current citation assignments:
(1-1)LC Abel Malik = TIE-TC 31, TIE-TC 32, TIE-TC 34, TIE-TC 38, TIE-TC 40, TIE-TC 42,
(1-2)COL Frodo March = n/a, fly what you want to.
(1-4)MAJ Deimos = n/a the only XWA battle left is the bugged XWA-FCHG4. fly whatever you feel like.
(2-1)MAJ Drak = XWA-DB 4, TIE-TC 11, TIE-TC 33, TIE-TC 36, TIE-TC 50,
(2-2)GN Andrzej Mezynski = TIE-TC 133, XvT-TC 7, XvT-TC 8, XvT-TC 9, XvT-TC 10,
(2-3)MAJ Chris Cox = TIE-TC 4, TIE-TC 6, TIE-TC 10, TIE-TC 13, TIE-TC 14,
(3-1)LC Dolsar Saris = XvT-TC 27, XvT-TC 32, XvT-TC 55, XvT-TC 56,
(3-2)COL Benjamin Jahou Morgan = TIE-TC 48, XvT-TC 12, XvT-TC 14, XvT-TC 15, XvT-TC 16,
(3-3)MAJ Evo Sarnok = TIE-TC 78, TIE-TC 185, TIE-DB 15, XvT-TC 28,
These assignments will earn some citations (I'm aproximating since this citeboard program is about as useless as a vibroblade in a lightsaber duel);p.
Only one Prae needs to complete the following battles in order to gain a squadron citation: (if you have not completed one of the following battles listed below- a citation is up for grabs!);p.

Bonus Question:
How many times between all five movies does one hear the famous SW phrase "I have a bad feeling about this"? (I only know the original trilogy # of times atm);p.
Here are the rules for this event, as posted from the message board.
The grading/awarding system will be as follows. There are both an individual and group category. Each subgroup will have a chance to win the group category,
based on the number of participants per subgroup * the total number of points per participant. An IS-GR will be awarded to all participants in the winning group followed by IS-SR's and IS-BR's to the second and third place finishers.
As for individual awards: The person with the highest total number of points for this even gets an IS-GR, followed of course by IS-SR, and IS-BR for second and third, respectively.
Additionallly, at the end of the first two competition events, the person with the highest total number of points thus far will be put in the running to win an
IS-PR at the end of the entire competition. The winning subgroup will be presented with a special award. That will be explained after all events have
been tallied.
Well there you are. Event #1. Enjoy! It will not be so easy to get all these answers.
