Vortex Weekly Squadron Report #1 

Today is Friday the 19th September 2003       

 
 
Fiction for a good start:
 

It was another usuall afternoon aboard ISD Grey Wolf. Like always - pilots wasted their hard earned credits in the Cantna buying lots of strange drinks and food. They were assembled there, talking and joking like always. As it was said - another boring day.

The days like this had the strange abillity to make themselves exciting. The days like this couldn't exist in the Galaxy where two fractions were at war from 12 years. Especially at the Imperial Star Destroyer. Indeed... in several minutes everything turned into hell. The battle alert filled the room just in the moment when Kodiak bought himself his firts drink of the day... No time for the pleasure... Everybody had just a minute to get into their fighters. Keiran ran just after Vladet. They knew every corridor at the way. The red, flashing lights were everywhere... Just ten more steps... Here they arrived into Crusader Hangar. The ships we're ready. And after few seconds they left the Grey Wolf with a noise of Twin Ion Engnes working at full power.

The opposition was strong. The battlegroup of two Light Calamari Cruisers and two Frigates was a bit tought for an ISD with help vessels. It had to be hard battle.

"All Flights Report in" - MAJ Pelleaeon said. The chatter filled with voices of the Flight Leaders, ready for everything.
 
"Paladins ready" - Keiran said. All four TIE Interceptors flew in the perfect Vic formation just behind the Flight I led by CMDR Vladet. The Rebel fighters were closing, Crusader's orders were to stop the bombers before they czn make they torpedo runs. Keiran targeted Y-Wing "Yellow 6". The distance was 3 klicks, 2.5 klicks ... He took a deep breath... Once again he checked the formation... It was still ideal... But he knew that in a second four Interceptors will brake pff following theri targets. Keiran took the stick switching the cannons to linked fire. 1,5 of the klick, 1 klick 0.75... Laserlight pulled the trigger... It was the last thing he remembered from the battle.
 
When the reality became more cear he stood in front of VA Sarin and MAJ Pelleaeon. The Commodore was saying something about valor and bravery... the dedication and loyalty. Then he took the red star from the WC's hands... and pinned it at Keiran's collar...
 
"The pilot here showed all of the above in his career. All of his services made him ready to take the bigger responsibility. That's why we've decided to make him new Vortex CMDR. Congratulations Commander Laserlight." - saying these words VA Sarin shaked Keiran's hand... And then everybody else congratulated him. And then they all left to take a rest.

Just another boring day aboard Grey Wolf...

 
Vortexian Chief Office:

That's right I've been chosen new CMDR of the Vortex. I hope that next months of work here will be as great as the duty in Crusader in past 8 ones. Let's get to work then, shall we: 
 
Some interesting NEWS:

- Fleet

1. Apostasy competition is finished... The Training Office did great job there. All the medals listed on the news page.
2. Spy report: I've found what is the famous Shield Project. Well, the almighty Tactical Officer spreaded a gossip that Shield is nothing else than a plan of adding a self-installer into all of the TIE Corps missions and battles. This should make all pilots to fly more battles! YAY!
3. COL Drax Remlinger stepped down from Wing Commander position on the Vanguard (Wing XV). COL Nightmare will be the next WC on the Vanguard.
4. HA Pryium Patel has resigned from the position of the Flight Officer and TIE Corps Commander.  This is a great loss for the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet and the TIE Corps.
