Fleet News:


· There are a few fleet-wide comps running at the moment:
· TAC office banner design—IS-GR through IS-BR for the winners. Entries due 1 Feb.
· TAC office is also attempting to find an "anthem". IS GR-through IS-BR for the winners. Entries also due 1 Feb.



This week’s position shuffle:

· Positions open: Logistics Officer, Training Officer (Shoo, Mage!), Commodore of the Relentless, XvT and TIE Tacticians.

Ship News:


· The Sovereign Battles of the Month for December results out soon, I hope, though I have it on good authority that the medals have been awarded :P. The January battles:
· TIE-TC 194 (Terrorist Attack) * updated version available from Mission Compendium (or me)
· XvT-TC 40 (Leaders of the New Republic)
· XWA-TC 32 (Rebel Resurgence)

Pilot files are due to AD Proton and LC Todbringer (todbringer@poczta.onet.pl) by midnight, 30 Jan. Remember to cc me as well.

· LC Frodo will be the task force Admiral for team Blue Falcon in the Sov mega-comp Operation Outrageous Fortune, starting today! LC Jon Doyle will lead Red Dragons.
· On a related note, if you’ve got graphics skills, AD Proton is looking for a volunteer to make a graphic for the above comp.
· We’re the largest Wing on the Sov, with more pilots on the way in! Who’d’a thunk it?

Wing News:

Still no Yod instructor for the Wing Academy.

Wing Comps:
· Wing IV Ace comp. Battles: TIE-TC 200, XvT-TC 37, XWA-DB 1. Pilot files due 1 Feb, and must be zipped and named as follows: YourName_#YourPin_BattleNumber_CompeitionName.zip
· Wing IV War Archive comp. Write a story about a fictional combat mission. Entries due 1 Feb.
· IRC Trivia—questions asked at the end of the wing IRC meetings.

Wing IRC meetings still scheduled for Saturdays, 1700 EST. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll kiss an hour goodbye.


Squadron News/Orders:

News:

· Demon Squadron comp is officially on! The mission: XWA-FREE 40. The non-flying part: make up nasty anagrams about the opposing squadron. Squadron with the best nerdy trash-talking gets a 500 point bonus to be added to their squadron’s flight average. For your reference, here are the pilots currently in Demon:
· COL Arso Slyth
· CPT ATX
· MAJ Brat Stone
· LT Mythiey
· CPT Crsepe
Feel free to use their ranks in your anagrams. Everything due in 2 weeks, on 3 Feb.
· Squadron patches—No volunteers, so I’ll contact MAJ David and get his help. Thanks in advance, David.
· I’ll be appointing a Flight Leader for Flight 3 soon—anyone interested in the position, or who has a recommendation for another pilot, is encouraged to email me.
· Fly! This year’s brand spankin’ new Activity Tracking Record is looking pretty sparse so far.


Orders:

Participate in the ship and wing comps.
Use the Wing messageboard.
Recruit!
Help us find a sister squadron!
