Wing XV Report # 1 Major Zippy Hawk.

"Space, The Outer Rim. These are the reports of the Imperator Class II Star Destroyer Vanguard... Its continuing mission to suppress strange alien worlds. To wipe out alien life and rebellious populations. To boldly plunder planets for plumbers!"

Hi there pilots its nice to see you all here as you all know im Hawkie but that's Major Hawkie to you pilots, Iv been aboard the Vanguard for at least half of my TC career where I leaded Python to highest citations and many more wonderful awards, the rest my TC career was spent in Avenger Squadron where I kick Major Death ass all over his ship.
Well I would like to thank Khadgar and Ender for their work they have done as COM and WC they had some great ideas and things going on which I hope to carry on with and I have many ideas and grand plans of my own which I hope to share and show you guys over the comings years :)
'Ok lets get on with the report'


Pilots Lounge


(Major Hawk and VA Ender greeting FO Patel onboard)

Brushing Off his uniform Ender watch as FA Patel walk down the ramp of his shuttle. Two visits in month this is a special honour.
'Fleet Admiral Patel welcome aboard the Vanguard may I say what a honour it is to have you onboard' Ender said with a stiff salute and snap of his boot.
'Thank you Ender, I see you mange to get some of you're lay about pilots looking smart for once' Patel said letting his eyes drift across the ranks of pilots and troopers.
Turning to follow Patel down the line of officers Ender smiled, 'With that days notice you give me on you're visit Sir I close the bar and stopped all incoming ships for a day, as you can see I even mange to get Kast looking smart'.
'Yes Yes very well done Ender but im far more impress with Hawkie not smelling of beer' comment Patel giving Ender and Hawk a wink.
Pointing to the hanger door Ender smiled, 'Shall continual with the tour of the ship Sir'.
'Yes lets do, Iv got to get on Greywolf to give my speech to the new COM by 23:00 hours tonight' said Patel following Ender.

The Flooding noise of the bar swept through Hawk mind as he closed his eyes in corner of the bar, 'Hizard I may have my eyes closed but please get that blaster out of my ear before I put mine against our stomach' said Hawk unclipping his holster.
'Hey just stating my point that I cant raise in rank from where Iam'. stated Hizard returning his blaster to his side.
'Cant you be happy with what you got like Shups was or Callista and for fact I know you hate writing reports' Hawk said raising from his seat.
Following Hawk to Bar Hizard finally place his blaster in its holster 'Only if you buy me a drink Hawk and we can forget the whole thing'.
Throwing his credit slip to the barkeep Hawk let out a big smile 'Sure thing Hizard you old space dog, Hey barkeep a drink for me and the old man here'.
With Hizard standing by him at the bar Hawk looked on at the full array of pilots and officers drinking and chatting, In the corner sat the other CMDR showing off there squadron stats and so on while other pilots sat swinging the hands about trying recreate famous battles the fought in.
'Hawk where the big chief, he's normal bumming a few drinks off as by now' said Hizard taking a slurp of his drink.
Waving back to Jourdain, Hawk looked back at Hizard 'He's in holo meeting with ASF commander I think something big is going down, so I would get some sim time behind you're squadron Hiz, anyway time for me to write a report mate'.

1.XO Returns to night me hope A small problem with my power cable has prevented me from being able to recharge the batteries to my laptop or use it without battery power. As a result, NL #74 is stuck on it until I fix the power cable. Hopefully, I'll be getting a replacement power source tonight and I'll be able to finish NL #74, post my relatively small XO report, and update several pages, including some of the finishing ones on the EH Database.
2.Grand Admiral Ronin has updated the EH Imperial News Centre with news on the latest command changes, promotions, and other Star Wars info.
3.Fellow Emperor Hammer's members. I am proud to announce that there will be a Dutch EH Meeting from Friday the 17th till Sunday the 19th of August in Delft, Holland. This Meeting is organised by me, Major Tarkin and Vice-Admiral Ender Mindbender. Lodging arrangements have been made for all that want to attend. A website will go online this weekend with a full itinerary and various travel possibilities for just about all European members. Since Holland is centrally located in Europe and has a highly developed infrastructure we feel that this is a wonderful opportunity to get as many different nationalities together and maybe create the biggest EH Meeting EVER! And of course all of you outside Europe are very welcome to come over here. :) If you decide to come, please mail me and VA Mindbender so we can arrange a proper welcome. Also, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
4.Members of Emperor's Hammer. I come to you to inform you once again about EH Poland Meeting this summer. Time is running out. But now I got more details.
Meeting will last for 4 days. It'll start at Friday, the 29th of June till Monday the 2nd of July. Location: Jonny's Summer House, 30km from Bialystok, North-Eastern region of Poland. What you need? Simple. We only provide the place. You need to bring cash to buy food or bring your food, a tent of course and camera if you got it. We'll have great fun out here and it'll be good to take many pictures or home movies. The location is beautiful at the summer house in the wood by the river. Everything looks great. Next Sunday I'll be there and I'll take few photos and I'll upload them so you'll be able to see it for yourselves. We'll be able to view SW movies, others too of course, and maybe even have Multi-Player competition. Yes.. I'll contact COO and ask about it.
5.Many congratulations to Rear Admiral Khadgar who has been appointed as the new Commodore for the ISD Grey Wolf!
6.At the recommendation of Vice Admiral Cyric and with full support from the Flight Office, current Vanguard Commodore, RA Ender mBind has been promoted to the rank of Vice Admiral for the tireless work he's done for his Command, and the continued dedication he's shown!

8.Congrats go to MAJ. Lohr Zadash, who is now the new Wing Commander of Wing IX, on the ISD Relentless!
9.In a 40 mb chunk, you can download the code, maps, and documentation for Star Wars Quake from their website's files section at: http://swtc.telefragged.com/files.html This is pretty much for anyone who wants to attempt to continue where the previous team left off.
10.RA Woobee of the ISD Greywolf has found a new Wing Commander for Wing XIII. Please congratulate MAJ. Azazel formerly Phoenix CM of Wing XIII. I know he has big shoes to fill since LC Bruckmack left, but he is more than capable of the job. And what of LC Bruckmack you ask? He has accepted a position with the ASF elite squadron Avenger! Good luck to both of them. RA Woobee and MAJ. Azazel is now accepting apps for Phoenix Squadron.

Wing News

1.It is with great sorrow that I announce CM CrazyR2's retirement as Python Squadron CMDR. He has found that he no longer had the time needed to command a squadron. Crazy R2 has moved back into Python Squadron as a Flight Member. Crazy R2 has been promoted to Captain for his efforts.
2.Our old WC, LC Khadgar, has been promoted to Rear Admiral and is now the Commodore of the Grey Wolf, Congrats!
3.CM Damon Kast, of Python squadron, has been promoted to Python CMDR! I have full confidence in his ability to command the Squadron, Congrats!
4.CM Strahdt, of Echo squadron, has been promoted to Echo CMDR to replace LC DS-61-4 and has since proved to be a great CMDR, Congrats!
5.MAJ. Zippy Hawk is our new Wing Commander, lets all hope he don't screw up;P Congrats Hawkie!
6.The rank promotion requests have been approved for several people onboard. LCM Schitzo and LCM Ray Lazzak were both promoted to Commander for their outstanding work and activity as Flight Leaders in Echo and Mantis. CMDR Garik Hizad got promoted to Colonel!. Within the TIE Corps it's exceptional that a pilot is promoted to COL as rank gained as a squadron CMDR and we can be definately proud to have him onboard. On to General! ;)
7.Jdf1984 has been a great CMDR. His Squadron has won two WC's Owns in a row, and the Squadron only got off the ground nearing the end of the month of the first WC's Own they won. CPT Jdf1984 submits reports in decent time, but most of all, he goes above and beyond and submits BSFs, thus earning him this rank of Major!
8.LC Khadgar selected the WC's Own for April 2001... Wasp Squadron! For the third time in a row, Wasp Squadron has proven themselves to be the Squadron with the most overall activity and active participants. They have fully earned this honour for the third time (someone stop them! :P).... Congratulations!
9.I selected the COM's Protector for April 2001: MAJ. Prophet, who has been incredibly active ever since he joined the ship. This is to recognise that, congrats!

Mo who got a Bronze Star of the Empire (BS) for creating ribbons for the Operations Office, MAJ. Prophet for getting a BS for his MSE recc by jdf1984... and all those others that got an ism or PC for their continued activity: Great work all of you!
11.I'm happy to announce that we have a new Vanguard Med. Staff to patch us up if we're not feeling too well.
