SOVEREIGN AND FLEET NEWS AND NOTES
-- A new Wing I WC will be named this week. I've just now received approval for some organizational changes on the ship, so this business and other items can proceed. Check your comms for updates early in the week.
Major Mike is the A-WC. LC Murad ibn Mark was removed as WC and returned to Gamma Squadron as an FM after falling out of contact for several weeks.
-- Imperial Storm III is soon to commence! Here is the IS III Web site: http://www.emperorshammer.net/wo/is3/
All pilots, please go to the site and comb its contents. This recon is vital for our efficiency and success in the coming wargame.
-- Report from the War Front, by Sovereign War Correspondent Major Mike (this will be a regular feature during the wargame):
Good evening and welcome to the Imperial nightly news at 10. I'm your host, MAJ Mike.
A new study was released today by Aurora Prime University. They've found that monkeys are actually a great health found, citing several examples where people who ate monkeys had better immune systems, better eyesight, and increased sexual activity. Monkunem, a new product designed for the consumer, is slated for release next month.
And now our top story. It's that time again. Time for Imperial Storm III! The SSSD Sovereign has been named the mothership for the first fleet of ships engaging in Imperial Storm III. It's the first of four fleets involved in this wargame. the first, named the Sovereign group, includes the Sovereign and several escort ships, along with squadrons from each of the first 5 wings. Other fleets include the battlegroups, headed by the ISD Colossus, and including several other ships, including the ISD's Relentless, Challenge, and Immortal. The third group is the Aggressor Strike Force, headed by the ISD Grey Wolf, and finally the Avenger Task force, headed by the SSD Avenger. We're joined now by LC Freelancer.
Thanks Mike. I'm standing here aboard the SSSD Sovereign, and am joined now by VA Proton, the newly named TFA for the SSSD Sovereign fleet.
Freelancer: Proton, you're the TFA?!?!?
Proton: Yes.
Freelancer: YOU?!?! My GOD!
Proton: Yes already! Next question.
Freelancer: Okay, okay, okay...Do you feel...a total sense of IMPENDING DOOM because you are TFA of the entire battle group?
Proton: Guards!
Um, thanks, Free. Stay tuned for later interviews with our roaming
reporter, Freelancer. That's about all the time we have for tonight, so stayed tuned and stay up to date with the Imperial nightly news at 10. Good night.
CMDR/MAJ Mike/Lambda/Wing I/SSSD Sovereign
-- The second multiplayer event vs the Rebel Squadrons' Renegade Fleet was a bust, so this probably ends the series. There simply does not seem to be any interest on the Sov for XvT multiplayer combat.
-- Sov multiplayer night naming contest is over. Results will be out soon.
-- Return of the Rat Pack Round 6 under way, deadline April 8. Rats vs. Wing VI CMDRs, flying TC-TIE Battle 191. Next up, the finale of the "Return" tour: Rats vs. Omega Squadron!!
-- Stardestroyer.org URL Redirection Service announced. Go here for details:

-- There's more news I probably should include in this week's report, but **looks at 270 unread messages in mailbox** I'll get out the essential stuff later.

psychiatric ones that is :P" -GN Reaper
"I'd like to make a semi-formal accouncement...
As of tomorrow, Koph squadron will have it's own official pointless
mascot! Let's all make sure that Koph's own babyDevil feels welcome!
Congrats, babyDevil, on this prestigious position.
(By the way - babyDevil is the evil half of all Koph pilot's
consciences... combined into one tiny female devil that's always perched
on my shoulder)." -CM Mage (and babyDevil)
"If you guys can manage to have EACH pilot in the Wing ONE email (during the week, even!!) You'd be suprised at how fast I replace the pickled beets with the Aussie sized cans of Foster's Lager. Or maybe I'll even provide a choice of fine beverages.....Foster's, Guinness......" -COL Gen Es'mith
"Remember an email a day keeps the Wing Commander happy and the bar open." -COL Gen Es'mith

and indirect to monkeys or any other samian species in any and all
Sovereign tactical topica emails :P" -COL Darth Vader
"You still have quite a few years if yer gonna catch me.
::pulls up on his beer gut::

"Walking down the corridors and seeing so many new faces along with
the old, it's good to be home.
Some of you may remember me, some will and some won't have a clue as
to who I am.
As for an introduction, I am LCM Jennif Es'mith, wife of our esteemed
Wing VI commander and pilot in my own right. I may not be able to
out fly many of you, but I can hold my own against any and all of you.
As to what that entails......you shall see.
Greetings gentlemen, the bitch is back." -LCM Jennif Es'mith
"You can make alcohol from fermenting ANYTHING. That's the beauty of mother booze." -GN Compton
