Long Live the ISD Vanguard.

Half a wing, half a wing,
Half a system onward,
All in the Sector of Death
Flew the six Squadrons.
'Forward, the Vanguard!
Charge for the Rebels!' he said:
Into the Sector of Death
Flew the six Squadrons.

'Forward, the Vangaurd!'
Was there a man dismay'd ?
Not tho' the TIE Pilot knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Their's not to make reply,
Their's not to reason why,
Their's but to do and die:
Into the Sector of Death
Flew the six squadrons.

Turbolasers to right of them,
Turbolasers to left of them,
Turbolasers in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with energy and heat,
Boldly they flew and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Flew the six squadrons.

Flash'd all their silver TIEs,
Flash'd as they turn'd in space
Destroying the gunners there,
Charging a fleet, while
All the galaxy wonder'd:
Plunged in the dark-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Rebel and Pirate
Reel'd from the Torpedo-strike
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they flew back, but not
Not the six squadrons.

Turbolasers to right of them,
Turbolasers to left of them,
Turbolasers behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with energy and heat,
While Pilot and hero fell,
They that had flown so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six squadrons.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the galaxy wonder'd.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Vanguard,
Noble six Squadrons!

based on the poem by Lord Alfred Tennyson

The Shuttle cleared the docking bay and set down in the middle of the hangar. The shuttle was adorned by the logo of the Wing XV WC and had his name stenciled on it. Arriving from his official promotion ceremony at Aurora Fleet HQ, Major Ekim Yellek was greeted by his COM and his friends.

"Welcome home, Ekim" Leeson said, walking up to shake his hand.

"Thanks boss, it's good to be home, we have to get busy though, to make sure the VAN is ready for the SC4 starting tomorrow." And with that the group met the new WC and walked away shaking hands and congradulating Ekim.

Wing and ASF News
1) MAJ Ekim Yellek new VAN WC
2) COL HiZad moved to Mantis
3) CM Boris resigns to Wasp 3-1
4) SC IV starts tomorrow!!!!!!

Okay guys this is it, flagship comptetion starts tomorrow. That means we have to get active right now!!! It's very important that we show ourselves as a decent ship worthy of being in the ASF. Every spare minute you have you should be doing something for the ASF competition.

Now this is a short report because i was just assigned here, but anyone who has a comment or suggestion to the new WC please mail me. Also congrats to Python Squadron on being WC's Own for March, and LT Narnil has earned the Wing Ace title for the same month. Python flew 208 missions this month, a lot but also not a lot from peak days... that's my speech.

Wasp applications will be accepted until Tuesday Afternoon.
