This week’s position shuffle:

· Autoris Maximus is the new COM of the Relentless
· COL Sasquatch is the new Omega CMDR. Woo!

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:

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.

Welcome to SL Halk Knight, the first graduate of the Wing Academy! Hope you enjoy your stay here in the wing.

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.


Squadron News/Orders:

News:

· A hearty Yod welcome to LCM DarkEagle, who transfers from Inferno to Yod 2-4. Glad to have you in the squadron!

· Demon Squadron comp: 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
· MAJ Bobxavi
Feel free to use their ranks in your anagrams. Everything due in 1 week, on 3 Feb. If you’ve got anagrams, share them on the squadron email list!
· Upcoming TIE comp with Inferno squadron—hopefully the first in a series with Wing X squadrons. More details later. For now, feel free to comment on the Wing X or Inferno MBs, but remember: if you can’t be nice, at least be clever :P
· Squadron patch—MAJ David has made one, and will submit it for OPS approval. Thanks, 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! Fly! Fly!


Orders:

Fly XWA-FREE 40 for Demon comp--Top Priority
Participate in the ship and wing comps
Use the Wing messageboard
Recruit!
Help us find a sister squadron!

Real, Live Citations: 45

Down due to DE’s joining the squadron, but I’ll take that trade anytime :P
