Ship News
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(this ship report covers everything from March 16th until now)
SOV SP Ladder: The medals were distributed for March's SP Ladder event. Congratulations to the winners and to the entire ship for being active. Activity was good overall but I'm sure it can do better. We're going to aim for another round this coming May.
Wing I's Consolidation: MAJ Brin Chaser made a major and important decision for his wing. Under the discussion with me and the FO, Brin decided to close down Delta and Lambda squadrons while reinforcing Alpha, Beta, and Epsilon with the remaining pilots. This has made the 3 current squadrons bigger and allows them to participate in comps as larger squadrons rather than smaller ones. This change brings about a few advantages. CMDRs are able to focus on more pilots and have better oppurtunities of engaging in competitions. It also allows for citations to be awarded to the squadrons, and it allows for pilots to be closer with one another while in the same squadron rather than having just 3 in one squad alone. Brin and I are hoping for the best and from what I've seen with Wing I's latest burst of activity I think it will be.
FO Comp: With there being no ship competition at the moment, I encourage everyone to participate in any kind of activity this month. A ship competition would normally encourage more activity among the squads but I'm now leaving that up to the wings and squadrons until May, in which the next SP Ladder event takes place.
TCCOM's Banner Competition: In the mean time, the FO wants a banner for the competition. Details of the comp are here http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=1913
FO's Site Moved: For those who bookmark all essential TieCorps sites, the new FO's site is at http://www.emperorshammer.net/rosters/personnel.asp?record=3448
Imperial Storm V: The next wargame is almost near, and the War Officer, HA Pri, has worked hard to make it enjoyable for all pilots and not just the task force admirals. We should hopefully start maybe this week. Visit the site http://www.btinternet.com/~spellfire/wo_rules.html

Battle Citations
-Just a note about Battle Citations, there are a ton of squadrons on the ship that just takes one pilot to fly a battle to boost their collection of battle citations.
-Gyssler's site shows what battles need to be flown to achieve a battle citation.

Wing's Status of our most glorious SSSD Sovereign
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wing I: Delta and Lambda are closed while Alpha, Beta, and Epsilon are reinforced from 8 to 9 pilots.
Wing II: Zeth is back from his leave and awards numerous medals, mostly Palpatine Crescents and Imperial Security Medals. Kappa CMDR chosen, waiting for FO to respond.
Wing VII: Wing says bye to the 3 pilots (2 AWOL'd, 1 to the reserve). Wing commander encourages squadron activity.
===
Omega Squadron: The squadron has lately become active again and are now determined to build up their numbers to a healthy status. They are currently looking at possible recruits throughout the ship. If you are invited, be aware that the current Omega pilots are fierce in their flying and it would be an honor to serve with them.
