*salute*

Welcome back pilots, as the Battlegroups returns from leave and operations return to business as usual. I hope everyone enjoyed their leave as much as I did . Thanks everyone for all the greeting cards and warm wishes, my desk is full of them! With the New Year just around the corner, I have high expectations for the Immortal and plan on proving over and over again to the rest of the fleet why we are the Flagship of the Battlegroups and that we are home to all of the most talented XWA pilots around. I hope you all are ready for action! :P Just make sure you all leave your ships at home and enjoy your partying and festivities safely :P -- I will provide free transports to and from the other ships and party platforms -- I heard a rumor that a giant rave will be taking over the PLT Daedalus on Sunday night, with DJ's and midnight fireworks ( not sure how these work in outer space.. maybe it's just a hologram or somethin :P) .. but that is just a rumor.. sounds like fun though :-) Anyways.. on with the rambling...

Wing News :

Congratulations to LC Badlands, as he leaps out of his Phantom CMDR chair and settles into his new Wing Commander position!! He has served with the Immortal for over a year, and with his experience and knowledge I know he will work hard with me to lead our mighty ship through many successes and good times . Everyone make sure to welcome your new boss at our party tonight in the cantina - drinks are on our new Flag Officer, of course. Congrats Badlands!

Consequently, Phantom Squadron is commanderless.. anyone interested in this position should email Badlands and me.

COMS Own for the month of December goes to -- Demon Squadron! Congratulations to this hard working team, as they hold the most citations and have 4 members of their squadron on the honor list! And hey, they are assigned as the Immortals Escort Squadron, so they're already experienced at it :P Display your new award proudly guys, you earned it!

Outer Rim nights will be returning as of next week! There are several changes. One is that the clubs participating include: the RS, the SV, the VE, the LSF, the NR and now us! The rules are posted at: http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/outerrim/rules.htm. The games supported are: XvT, XWA, and JK! For more information on OR check: http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/outerrim/.

Striker escapes Rebel jail
08:02 - FA Striker [EH_Striker@mail.com]
After three weeks of captivity, Tactical Officer Fleet Admiral Striker managed to escape from Rebel forces, after the hijacking of his shuttle earlier this month. Torture didn't manage to get a word from the Sith Battlelord, who suffers anyway from many injuries. Medical staff has taken care of the Fleet Admiral since his return, he will probably need several weeks to recover.

High Score Anomalies
00:26 - SA Kawolski [absurefire@aol.com]
Due to a previously undiscovered bug in the XWA Pilot File BSF form, some pilots have received undeserved high scores if their CMDR was clumsy and uploaded the wrong pilot file. The form has been updated to fix this. If you notice any strange high scores (like high scores for mission 6 when there are only 5 missions in the battle), please report them to Sector Admiral Kawolski.

Fleet Manual 5.0 pre-1
11:35 - AD Kermee [Kermee@softhome.net]
Fleet Manual: The Fleet Manual v5.0 pre-1 is complete. This version contains all of the material from the 4.0 version with only minor changes, with a different design and a database to store the data. Any and all comments or suggestion are most welcome at sco@emperorshammer.org, however please hold reports of inaccuracies in the ship data other than in the descriptions. The Fleet Manual v5.0 pre-1 is viewable at http://sco.ehnet.org/fleet-man/. I'm looking at making a downloadable version available shortly.

New issue of EH Cosmo released
23:46 - VA Mairin Astoris [mairin@isdchallenge.org]
The long awaited Issue 6 is now available at http://www.darklord.ukshells.co.uk/cosmo/cosmo6/. Big thank yous go out to all those who contributed things and helped out.

Honor List!


The ISD Immortal's Honor list is here for those motivated pilots on board the Immortal who have completed all TAC approved XWA battles and XWA Free missions available to the TIE Corps. If a new battle or mission is introduced to the fleet, the pilots may remain on the honor list for a grace period of 1 week. After this period has elapsed, those who had previously been on the list but have yet to complete the new XWA battle or mission shall be removed until they completed this battle or mission.

There also exists a Golden Battalion within the Immortal's honor list. The Golden Battalion is for all pilots who already belong to the Immortal's Honor list AND have 5 XWA mission high scores accredited to them. This is an exclusive group who fight hard and fight well on behalf of the Immortal. The Golden Battalion may be an unofficial title, but onboard the Immortal, this title is held in the highest light for the pilots of the ISD Immortal and all pilots strive to reach this plateau. The one week grace period rule also applies to members of the Golden Battalion in case they lose one or more of their high scores. They will have exactly one week to reclaim them or relinquish this honor.

Merit points!

For some new pilots, you may not know about our merit system we have in place here on the Immortal. You can check out the following page for more information http://www.webroot.net/immortal/merit.html, although the site is very outdated, so I've listed the ships points here for all to see how you measure up against the rest of the pilots on board. Congratulations to LCM Roth Jalis and CM Darksaber who cashed in 120 points to 'buy' themselves a very nice Christmas present, a Bronze Star.
