Stryker stood on the Bridge of the
MC-90 Renegade as it
approached the world of Kammia. Junior officer relayed status reports
from the various ships under his command, and the newly-promoted
General folded his arms across his chest as he studied the sensor
readings being placed on the holoprojector that was the central feature
of the spacious room. Already, detached forces from the Hammer's forces were forming a protective cordon around the recently-claimed planet in order to prevent the Infiltrator Wing forces from wresting it from their control. For the purpose of the exercise, the transponders had been shifted from their normal frequencies, so identifying the ships arrayed against them would have to wait until they were much closer. Still, whether identification was done electronically or visually, the Infiltrator Wing had a job to do - they would not let the newly-promoted Vice Admiral Naillo down. 'Signal the scouting elements to fall back, and prepare to launch fighters. X-Wings and A-Wings will advance in screening formation, B-Wings and Y-Wings will strike their capital ships.' As the orders were relayed to the ships under his command, Stryker cracked his knuckles and continued to study the enemy formation. He had until the scouts returned to the main body of the fleet until he needed to make the decision when to commit, his Captains and Squadron Commanders knew their orders, all he had to do now was trust them and hope that the Hammer didn't have any nasty surprises waiting for them. |

Imperial
Storm is here! This is the TIE Corps' annual wargame that pits
the three TC vessels against each other with very specific objectives.
The full rule pack can be found here. We're
in the opening stages right
now, but I expect things to kick off very soon! Our first Imperial Storm battle is upon us! Anyone who can needs to fly TIE-Free 137 'The Baker's Dozen'. For those of a more multiplayer-oriented persuation, get as many Legions of Combat or Skirmish submitted before 8pm Eastern Time (Midnight UTC) tomorrow evening! In a blow to the Squadron, General Elwood the Brave announced his resignation yesterday. We're going to miss him, especially his silly number of LoSes per month, and we hope for a speedy return when his life stabilises! In his place, we welcome LT Ericksen1803, aka Baby NiksaVel. He's already been active in Battlefront 2 collecting those precious Legions of Skirmish, and we look forward to seeing what else he has to show us! |

Storm is upon us! Under the leadership of now-VA Silwar Naillo
(congratulations!), we're sure
to put up one hell of a fight! If not, well, there's a reason 'Kill the
Silwar' is the Challenge's
theme tune! GN Stryker |
