Pilot's Lounge
The door slid open to the office.
"It's official," Predator said.
"Gold again?" Khadgar replied.
"Yes, that'll be another Gold Wings, 50 wins."
Khadgar punched in a request to the Operations Office for the WoW Incentive.
Another officer came in shortly after.
Khadgar hastily pulled out a card from his from his desk that he'd gotten a few years back and blew the dust off of it before the officer noticed.
"Don't worry, it's taken care of," Khadgar said, handing the officer the card.
"Congratulations, Grey Wolf COM, on your promotion to Vice Admiral!" Gilad read aloud.
"Thanks a lot!" he said smiling, and leaving the office.
Letters from the Cardinal...
Why the Empire Has More Appeal Than the Rebellion
Mon Mothma: I issue a call to reason!
Mon Mothma: Palpatine has acted against Section 48b, Paragraph 5, Sub-Paragraph C, Special Circumstance II by disbanding the beacon of the people, the Senate. It is the bridge between the government and the citizenry, the link between the participants and the decision-makers in a participatory democratic process, if you will.
[Loud snores from the Senate, including one Senator that blows a feather into the air repeatedly with his snoring.]
Mon Mothma: Further, this nefarious agent has in fact disregarded the long-established Treaty of Kare Les, which clearly states that arbitrarily deducing from the net income of the citizenry, or even putting the people into poor working conditions is unlawful. This is illegal every second day, including the third Wednesday of the month, if not included in being on a "second day".
Mon Mothma: The so-called Emperor has instituted a military buildup of a scale not required nor desired by myself or other respected members of the highly respected Activism in the Senate club. The members of the club feel that as per the conventions of the Borr Ring Incident that the scale of the Emperor's forces indicates that they are really just around to terrorize, oppress and generally make people unhappy.
Mon Mothma: How do you respond, Palpatine!?
Palpatine: WAKE UP!
[Senate wakes up suddenly.]
Palpatine: Here's the deal, I've got a massive fleet with an unprecedented amount of firepower. Basically, everyone will stay within the law, or get blown up. How's that sound?
[Cheering from the Senate.]
Mon Mothma: Bloody Palpatine.

Battlegroup Commander's Office
Some new competitions came out this week (see above).
Two new programs were also released this week.
The Mission Design Clinic, which has a decent response.
This "clinic" will be involved in designing new ASF-oriented battles and missions for XvT and XWA.
There's also Flight Mentors...
[Loud snores from the Senate, including one Senator that blows a feather into the air repeatedly with his snoring.]
Lousy Old Republic Senate!
Well, as the Senators suggest, less people have responded to this compared to the clinic.
I'll see what I can do about "sweetening the deal".
Oh yes, and "Boey B"... You're at absolute zero (speaking in terms of a temperature analogy) towards you-know-what. Get going. :P
