Greetings pilots of the Hammer!

Unbelievably this is my 25th report as Commodore of the Hammer, time proverbially flies! It's been a fun ride and I look forward to many more reports as your Commodore!

It's been a very nice week aboard ship, our resident Wing I is once again at capacity, with a recent loss of SL Sygnetix from Alpha being filled instantly by SL XCptCronchX who has already gone and earnt his promotion to Lieutenant, something that a number of our new arrivals have also done (LT TheBlackxRanger & TheHowler to be specific). Whilst I am sure we may always see some ups and downs in membership levels with holidays, education and work it is indeed heartening to see a full sign hanging over the hangar at the moment so thank you to everyone of you.

It was mentioned in one of our commanders chats that the colour of our uniform hem failed to stand out against our peers, so after some discord consultations we elected to adopt a green trim to our TIE Corps uniforms which some of you have begun to generate using the TTT3 application which can be downloaded here.

It's been a long time coming - MAJ Genie and I have been working on this for a while - but as part of our efforts to carve out a space and character for our home we have a website. Many thanks to Genie for doing the heavy lifting of this as web design is no longer my forte, so please take a look here: http://www.isdhammer.org

From my side, it's been a busy week of preparing for Imperial Storm III which has involved getting team captains and beyond all onboard with the rules as well as taking onboard any suggestions.
I've also been doing some flying - including the latest TCIB TIE Fighter battle so hopefully we'll be seeing more people taking part this month!
