Thought for the Week
"We are outnumbered, there is only one thing to do. We must attack!"
- Admiral Andrew Cunningham, 11 November 1940.
Squadron News
Greetings all!
First, a warm welcome to SL Jaryd Casters, who recently joined our squadron! I'm sure you'll feel right at home Jaryd...
Jaryd also won the final round of the Caption Competition; you'll soon be able to add your first medal to your uniform! Congratulations!!!
New squadron competitions will be announced soon, so stay tuned...
As for the Imperial Storm: It seems our entire wing is left out... The admirality failed to give us even one single order; who knows what would have happened to the Sixth Fleet if we could have participated.
Oh well; better luck next time...

COMMA Open to Applications
AD Joey C
Due to RL constraints, I have fallen behind in my duties to the point where even I am appalled :P
To this end, I am opening up the position of COMMA to applications from applicants willing to apply.
All applicants that apply must be willing to perform the following duties.
Updating the moderators on the Message Boards
Keeping the COMM website up to date
Working with the COMM... that's right... it's not as easy as it sounds!
Any other duties I feel like foisting off onto you
You of course will be rewarded for your efforts... *opens his spare barrel of COMM cookies*
All applicants should send their applications to ehcomm@gmail.com with the subject "The cookie told me to!"
That's all for now, unless I think of something else
Imperial Storm - Battle Results
HA Priyum Patel
The results are finally in for the Battles that took place at the end of Turn 1 -
The ASF was beaten by the Sith Fleet, who now claim the planet of Ryloth. The Sith SP scores were also higher than the ASF, so they get to save 600 points worth of ships lost in the XWA MP battle. The highest TIE scoring Sith pilot was Zethy and the highest XvT scoring Sith pilot was Gidda. On the ASF side, the highest TIE scorer was Blackrage, who also scored the highest for XvT.
In the other battle, the Sovereign claimed victory over the TCBG, but only after suffering heavy losses themselves. For their pains, they have now captured the planet of Mon Calamari. The TCBG scored higher in the SP averages and so may now save 520 points from their otherwised destroyed Fleet. The highest TIE scoring Sov pilot was Tempest. For the TCBG, it was Landeux on both platforms.
Turn 2 was relatively quiet with planets being captured and pacified, and Fleets tending to their wounds. The game continues...

New CA:FO chosen
SA Cyric
After careful review of all of the applications, I have chosen my new CA. I will first say that there were some very good, very qualified officers who have shown interest in this position.
Without further ado, I would like to announce that AD Proton has been chosen as the new CA:FO. His e-mail address is hullbreach@gmail.com . Very important that he now get all the reports as he will be the new report monkey for the Flight Office.
Thanks again to all that applied.
