VANGUARD AND FLEET NEWS


Sunday

About Tea Time

VA SickMan & LC Drax Remlinger walk toward the main Hangar, a shuttle had arrived but the doors are shut?

"Strange" said Sicky

Draxy presses the door relase and both are knocked to the flor as a mountain of chocolate eggs escaped!

A weary Stormtrooper said "compliments of the Hutts" then collapses

From the mountain of eggs, two heads pop out and look at each other in shock

"Beer-time?" Draxy asked

"Beer-time" Sicky replied and both dusted themselves off and walked in the direction of the Vanguard water hole

And thus was Easter on the Vanguard:)




RFB Everyone!!!!!!! (RFB =Recruit, Fly and Booze:)........and if you not old enough to drink the deadly, have a nice soda drink of your choice:)

SickMan Silly words of the week = Storm Trooper Itch



NOTE to CMDR's, please remember to forward this to your pilots

TC NEWS

The battles situation
03:14 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
The download links to battles were disabled this week because one member of the defecting group of the Dark Brotherhood suggested downloading all our battles and using them for their own use. The links are now back online but you must login for them to appear. This is the protect the hard work of the TIE Corps' mission designers.

Wing X WC
09:55 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Following RA Sephiroth's elevation to ChalCOM, the position of Wing X Wing Commander is now open to applications. Those wishing to apply must be able to meet the following requirements...



A tour as Squadron Commander for no less than FOUR consecutive months and the minimum rank of Captain
Familiarity with all TIE Corps and EH protocols, policies etc
Familiarity with the workings of TIE
A quick email response time and decent IRC presence
No serious HCI convictions within the last 12 months
All other requirements detailed in the Training Manual

All applications should be sent to Admiral Krax and Rear Admiral Sephiroth with the subject "Wing X WC" as soon as possible.


Flag Officer Appointments
09:43 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
With the recent removals in the Avenger Task Force (see the upcoming FO report for all the details on this), I've selected all the replacement Flag Officers. Congratulations to...

~ Rear Admiral Ranthier Khaen - promoted to Vice Admiral and Battlegroup Commander of the ATF
~ Rear Admiral Charles "Demos" Spencer - appointed Commodore of the SSD Avenger
~ Colonel Mell Kerrigan - promoted to Rear Admiral and ISD Subjugator Commodore
~ Major TK-2107 - appointed to Wing Commander of Wing XX
~ Colonel Sephiroth - promoted to Rear Admiral and Commodore of the ISD Challenge.

Many of these Officers have a hard task in front on them, repairing damage to the ATF. Please show them your support and appreciation when you get a chance. Thank you.

BGCOM Promotions
05:26 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
The recommendation I sent to GA Ronin and SA Astatine:

Sirs,

I would like to recommend the promotion of two individuals to Admiral today, Vice Admiral Krax Tarnisar, BGCOM of the TC Battlegroups, and Vice Admiral Darksaber, Aggressor Strike Force BGCOM.

Both of these Flag Officers have held their positions for many months now, and during this time they have proven their competence and commitment to their position without fail. They are utterly reliable Officers, continually working to help their commands grow and improve, often with their due credit. Without them my job would be considerably more difficult, and I regard them as vital members of the EH.

These promotions have been approved, so many congratulations to Admiral Darksaber and Admiral Krax Tarnisar!

TCC:XvT open for applications
02:46 - AD Marcin Szydlowski [pbmike@go2.pl]
With the resignation of LC Pellaeon, I've opened TCC:XvT for applications. You can find all requirements in latest TAC report. Good luck to all who wish to be TAC's slave :)

Clarification
12:44 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
This statement from the Fleet Commander posted today on one of the forums should help clear up a lot of questions...

Until I receive at least acknowledgement of their acceptance of my 'terms" posted at: http://www.emperorshammer.org/news.htm (sent to Firefox & co. 3 times along with a demand for a response), EH members that join their group (that has unrightfully stolen EH property) will not be welcome in the EH. If you are unsure what to do, please sit tight and do nothing...Since you will have not JOINED their group, you have not left the EH...

As always, please email me if you have any specific questions.

Grey Wolf Madness
10:44 - VA Kyle Katarn [Kyle.Katarn@isdcolossus.com]


There is a New Comp on. As requested, the Grey Wolf Madness starts on Saturdays at 5:00 am an ends at 7:00 am! The Host is Joey C. For Info's on the comp, please mail the Host or check the Combat Calendar! The 1st time the Comp is gonna be held is on Saturday, the 19th April 2003!

TIE Corps Meeting
05:04 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
I thought it might interest our members to know that last week's TIE Corps meeting hit a record number of attendees, a high of 106 people...






My thanks to all those who attended. Congratulations to Captain Zexiphir Van Taelyan who receives an Iron Star - Bronze Ribbon for winning the trivia. A reminder that TIE Corps meetings are held every Sunday in #tiecorps at 9PM GMT / 4PM EST. For those of you unfamiliar with IRC, a good place to start is the IWATS mIRC Course.


Praetorian Recruitment Competition
01:37 - MAJ Turr Phennir [mparkes@iprimus.com.au ]
Pilots of EH, let it be known to you, that Praetorian Elite Squadron searches for brave men and women who would like to serve among the best of ID. If you want to prove to Praetorian CMDR and to yourself that you are worthy of becoming one of us, participate in Praetorian Recruitment Tournament. Following the old tradition of Imperial Red Guard, you need to prove yourself in combat. The one who will come triumphant from the trials (highest total score in all 4 free missions given) will be awarded FL spot in the squadron, while 6 next will be given chance to become FMs. This challenge is open to any pilot of fleet, no matter of rank, record or position but you must however be free from any HCI Cheating Conviction.

All participants must mail Praetorian CMDR - MAJ Turr Phennir and Praetorian XO - COL Andrzej Mezynski, no later then by 23rd April with email subject "Praetorian Recruitment Tournament".

Recent Events
12:08 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Greetings TIE Corps.

As I'm sure most of you are aware by now, there have been some serious events with the Dark Brotherhood over the weekend, the details of which can be found on the main EH page. This is a significant turn of events that will have implications for many TIE Corps members who have friends in the DB, or are members themselves. I understand this will be the topic of conversation pretty much everywhere, so I ask people use common sense...please don't incite or flame the issue unnecessarily. I also request that everyone, whether you have a decision to make or not, carry on as normal. Those of you in command, continue to do your jobs...make sure those under you remain informed as always.

An EH Oath of Loyalty has been created in light of all this. Whilst I'm not keen on the "oath" part, I think it's an excellent way to show your support for your fellow pilots, superiors and the TIE Corps. Whilst signing it is certainly not mandatory, I encourage you to do so. EH Oath of Loyalty.

As always, I'll be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
