Hey Squadron Report for April 30th through May 8th 2002.

Been a busy week. As always, I have good news to report, so let's do it!

SQUADRON NEWS
----------------------

CM Yun has transferred to Hey Squadron from Diamondback Squadron. Some of you might remember Yun from his time in Aleth a while back. Welcome to Hey Squadron! Glad to have you with us.

Most of us participated in the second round of the Wing III vs. Wing IV competition. Great work! Wing III won that round, so let's see if we can do as well or better next time.

LT Razor returned from leave on the 6th.

LCM Alhana Creed is still on leave.

That's all I can think of for now...

WING NEWS
----------------------

COL Jahan Kalar is on leave, and I'm in charge. Muhahahahahaha!

As I stated above, we won the second round of the Wing III vs. Wing IV competition. Great work everyone!

So far as I know, that's all the major Wing News. Jahan'll be releasing a report when he gets back.

Imperial Storm, First Battle Updates
23:56 - VA Pel [Palinathas@aol.com]
The first battle was flown last night. We found a lot of bugs in the new system, and a few errors were made on all sides. All TFAs have agreed to a couple of rule changes, and the battles have been re-engineered and re-tested, and are re-scheduled for Saturday, at Noon Eastern. Anyone who flew and submitted the TIE battles already, your scores will count. If you choose to re-fly, the higher score will count. Thank you all for bearing with this, the game will begin moving again soon.
