Pilot's Lounge
This week, I am proud to welcome a special guest.
To make his annual post-SC speech, please welcome... Emperor Palpatine!
(Rumor has it he has been dead for some years, but this never detracts from the positive pilot reaction.)
"Greetings loyal Imperials! This is your Emperor, Palpatine. Not Pulpatine, and certainly not "Old Palpy", Palpatine!
If I get one more mail with my name spelled wrong... Err, sorry, pilots.
Anyway, I am here to congratulate each of you on the recent activity in the ASF:SC competition.
You all know that I love the smell of burning X-Wings in the morning, and seeing the ASF in action has really been a treat.
Now, I've ruled the known galaxy for some time, but I cannot think of a time recently where I have seen greater fervor in bringing down the Rebel insurgements!
Soon, peace and order will be restored, and I can have that grand old palace back.
I really miss the old place, the service was really top notch, and you wouldn't believe the... Err, sorry again, pilots.
Anyway, I've authorized Lord Vad-Erm-Khadgar and the rest of the ASF staff to send out medals for all the activity during the month.
The Dark Side (All rights reserved, send royalties to Emperor's Secret Lair, Byss) tells me that some great stuff is on its way, so stick around!
In the service of Me,
Emperor Palpatine
One-time Ruler of the Known Galaxy
Ruler of the Sith
Professor, Galactic Rule

Letters from the Cardinal...
Recently, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King won numerous oscar awards. The story is an adaptation of the famous works of J.R.R. Tolkien. The triology chronicles the epic struggle of the "Free Peoples of Middle Earth" to get a ton of box office money. This is their story...
One Oscar to rule them all, One Oscar to find them, One Oscar to bring them all and at the awards bind them.
Gandalf: The Oscar, is it secret, is it safe?
Boromir: This Oscar was won by the blood of our people! Give the Oscar to Gondor!
Aragorn: They are the Nazgul, Oscarwraiths, neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Oscar, drawn to the power of the Best Picture One.
Gandalf: Fool of a Took! Throw yourself in next time, so that we might all win an Oscar!
Aragorn: I would have gone with you to the end, into the very stage of the Academy.
Elrond: Together you form the Fellowship of the Oscar.
Pippin: Terrific! What did we win?
Gollum: My own, my precious...
*Gollum strokes an Oscar fondly*.
All that is gold does not glitter,
But I fancy the shine of that Oscar,
That old trophy that is strong does not wither,
Eleven awards behind us, we're the best by far!

Battlegroup Commander's Office
It's all over! It's all over! Yes, the SC is now over.
The results are being tallied.
They are pending various things like BSF confirmations, etc.
How can you help?
Send me a mail if you exceeded the trivia cap with your number of questions!
I've agreed to support a new competition this week, as per the War Room.
I'm very proud of the ASF's work over February, and I'm sure everyone involved will get their just reward(s).
The ASF will be focusing on recruitment and new types of competitions and activities in the coming months.
Lastly, I wish to extend a special thanks to all WoW participants.
Unfortunately, I was stuck at the University with midterms, and the times I did manage to go on the Zone (i.e. odd times), there was three people at best there.
