SUBJECT: Hammer Ship Report
MEMBER COUNT: 60

 Welcome to the rejuvenated Hammer Ship Report. The eagle eyed amongst you will no doubt have noticed that it's been a little while since the last of these reports landed on the data pads of the Hammers pilots, to be honest running Imperial Storm IV for a month was a significant administrative overhead that bit into some of the reporting time I otherwise had, however with Imperial Storm now behind us I can focus on getting these back to their regular drumbeat.

 So Imperial Storm! It was quite a contest (congratulations to the Warrior) and kudos to Genie for leading the Hammer team during the event, I hope everyone had fun and having just made all the medal recommendations this week I am sure some awards will begin to drop into the inboxes of some of our pilots shortly.

 Life aboard the Hammer continues to be lively, with another swap in our Commander line-up taking place earlier this week. Captain Xye has stepped back from the position to take up a Flight Member role, freeing up our newly appointed Commander ElleOhh to take over as Beta Squadron Commander. Well done Commander, we look forward to seeing how Beta progresses under your command!

 As of this report the Hammer is currently sporting a single vacancy with room for a single additional pilot in Beta Squadron. I am sure though that with the constant comings and goings we'll probably shed a few pilots to the reserves, whilst gaining more from IWATS, that said the general trend is upwards so well done to all our recruiters!

 Plenty of medals this month - a lot of which are listed out below including one Grand Order of the Emperor. Well done Colonel Genie, well done indeed!

 Finally, HA Plif will be logging on to the Hammer voice chat on Discord this weekend at 20:00 BST (19:00 GMT / UTC) so if you're free, do come along! Click here for the event invite

Trivia for the Hammered - Season Four
Trivia for the Hammered returns with Season Four.
Each week, 4 questions will be released via the TIE Corps timed competition system. For each question, the quickest pilot to answer correctly receives 3 points, second quickest with the correct answer gets 2 points and all the pilots with a correct answer get 1 point.
We tally up at the end of the week with the highest point total winning a IS-SR and the runner-up a IS-BR.
After 8 rounds we tally up for our winner who will receive a IS-GR, with the runner-up receiving a IS-SR, whilst third and fourth places receive a IS-BR.
Points earned on each question accrue and lead to IS-CRs being awarded for every multiple of 50 points.

It's been quite the month to be honest, with Imperial Storm coming to a close I've been able to put more of a focus back on the Hammer which is fantastic and we're in the midst of prepping for another round of Hammer Tour of Duty alongside the Trivia... so stay tuned!
