* KAPPA SQUADRON REPORT * CPT Tempest * January 24th, 2003 *
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Greetings Kappa fellows, and welcome to the newest report.
It will be kinda short, as the last one... not much going on in Kappa
atm. That includes me - I had some OPSA stuff to do last week, and my
free time won't increase during the next ones as there are some exams
coming.
Still the whole squadron being fast asleep is kinda unsatisfying. I
hope that will improve again sometime.
But well, not the first time I write that... :(


Squadron News
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- Algaron reported having not much free time atm and therefore being
on semi-leave. Though that's sad, we all go through such phases from
time to time, I guess. I just hope your RL becomes less
time-consuming soon.

- Operation Outrageous Fortune, formerly known as "the comp to end all
comps), has officially started... yet I didn't hear about anything
really going on. In any case, stay prepared.

Miscellaneous / TC News

- New battles and free missions (AD Marcin Szydlowski)
I've just released another set of missions.
XWA-FREE #86,87
XW-FREE #2,3
More coming very soon.

- A change in policy (SA Astatine)
Due to the amount of harassment I am getting on IRC from certain
parties, I will no longer be conducting EH business over IRC. I am
there to relax. If you contact me on IRC about EH business, I will
ignore you. I will only be conducting EH business via email from now
on.

- New Training Board (FA Priyum Patel)
We have a new Training Message board located here. Cadets are free
to use this board to post any questions they may have about their
training where I'm sure helpful members of the TC will respond.

- EHCOC Website (VA Kyle Katarn)
Finally I managed to get time to create a professional EHCOC
Website. It can be found here. The Combat Manual is still the old
version. There will be a new one with updated stuff soon. The Manual
can be found here. Feel free to eMail me your comments. But be
aware, not everything is working yet and the site is not fully
finished. You also need at least Internet Explorer 6.0 or Netscape
Navigator 7.0 to view the XML Scripts of the site. Please do not
include this problem in a bug report!

- Sovereign Wargame Begins! (FA Priyum Patel)
The new SSSD Sovereign wargame, Operation Outrageous Fortune, begins
Sunday, Jan. 19. It pits Team Blue Falcon (Wings I, IV and V) vs.
Team Red Dragon (Wings II, III and Omega Squadron) in a war of space
superiority, planetary conquest, continental invasion, and
assassination and prisoner rescue missions. Sovereign personnel will
wage the war on the TIE, XvT, XWA, Jedi Knight II and Star Wars
Galactic Battlegrounds platforms. The Task Force Leaders are LC
Frodo (Blue) and LC Jon Doyle (Red). The gamesmaster is WO/AD Pel.

- Relentless Commodore (FA Priyum Patel)
The position of Relentless Commodore in the TIE Corps Battlegroups
is still open to applications with the following requirements:

+ Absolute familiarity with Fleet Manuals and the Fleet Standing
Orders
+ No serious AoW convictions, and none within the past 12 months
+ Command experience at a Wing Commander level or above, for no less
than 4 consecutive months. Squadron Commanders will only be
considered with 3 excellent references from superior Officers
+ Familiarity with Single and Multiplayer aspects of X-Wing: Alliance
+ Email response time of 24-36 hours.
+ Everything else detailed in the Training Manual

Applicants must possess the drive and motivation to work towards
stabilizing the ship, plan future activities and work with fellow
Flag Officers in the Battlegroup. The position of Commodore is not
to be underestimated. If you have any doubts as to your suitability
for the position, then don't waste our time by applying.
Applications should be sent to Vice Admiral Krax and Fleet Admiral
Priyum with the subject RelCOM. You may include up to 3 references,
two of which must be from current or former superiors. Ensure that
you have their permission before listing them.
