TC/ID/Prae News:
The big news this week is we've become the first TCCOM's Own Escort Squadron recognized by HA Cyric himself!

Also, RA Winters & GN Mandalore (aka Slowbacca) of the ID have created a new version of the old Praetorian website at: http://www.praetorian.ehintel.net/ (this one we can update/alter though for our use);p.
Tactical Competition Update (news from our brother AD Frodo)
TIE Free 252 and TIE Free 253 have been released. These are the round #3 IMC missions.

Round #4 of IMC will be taking place this sunday at 14h30 EST in #tac between LC Mouse Droid and CM Fahrer. Be there, or be Square!

Also a public annoucement for Operation Anteater: XvT bugs are no longer...in fact...what is an XvT bug? :P

In addition TIE-TC178 has been updated (fixed hopefully)!

on a personal note this marks my tenth month as Prae CMDR today;p.
Also, take a look at the flight motto's- I want something new for flight three asap!

As far as your requests for a competition with another squadron, as soon as the current competitions are over with I'm going to attempt to set a SP (using free missions for XWA, XvT & TIE) competition up with the Avenger CMDR GN Nightmare.

Flight Deck:
in TIE-ID2 mission 4 the friedly capital ship Ardent is not in the mission at all on easy making it incompletable; however, on medium the Ardent is present- no clue whats up here;p.
mission four of XWA-TC46 (on medium) is incompletable (easy works just fine though).
mission six in TIE-TC78 is seriously bugged and cannot be completed due to a mission critical craft (an ETR or ATR) never arriving.

Also, BoP-ID1, XWA-FCHG4, and TIE-TC96 were fixed awhile back by the Tactical Office.

keep posting the bugs! (I do report this to AD Frodo March & VA Master so they're aware of any problems with battles or free missions).

Prae Orders:
-participate in the new April competitions
-post on the Prae (and other) MB- the person who posts the most or is most influential in promoting discussion will earn the Prae Medal of Communication (MoC) for the month!
-Monthly flying requirements are in place: It's a mandatory requirement to fly at least one battle or four free missions a month, I will allow you to fly MP matches in place of the missions if you wish (I'm easy to work with usually);p.
-Recruit, our numbers are fairly steady: however, if you know of any exemplary pilots who meet our requirements feel free to let me know about them. Remember our requirements for being accepted to take the Prae trials are the rank of LCM with 400 FCHG; however, for a full status Prae it's still CM with at least 500 FCHG.
http://praetorian.rawx.net/join.php (the only exception to this rule I'm allowing is former Prae's who served more than three months; however, they must still have the min required FCHG of 500). We are elite after all.
-work on improving your own personal FCHG levels- remember we do have a few squadron specific rewards related to this! ;p.

For every 10 squadron citations you earn for Prae I will recommend you for a Imperial Security Medal (ISM).

current citations listings:
COL Malik (51 citations altogeather)
COL Torres 4/10 citations
MAJ Deimos 1/10 citations
