Squadron News/Orders:

Departure:

The revolving door on Yod continues. LC Guthwulf has been appointed Commander of Kaph, and so leaves us. Best of luck in your new position, Guthwulf.

Awards/Promotions:

CM Philo has attained the FCHG Rank of Knight.

Current Competitions:

Lamed vs. Yod:

Another two-part competition. Flying: TIE-TC 190. Fiction: a welcome to our new comrades from Wing VI. Flowery oratory, hazing prank, combat trial by fire, you choose! Entries due by 30 April. Awards: IS-BW for flight, IS-BR for fiction.

Wing III vs Wing IV competition:

A best-of-three XWA competition against Wing III. A new mission each week; scores averaged over the entire wing. Winning WC chooses ship name and type for the losing WC for 1 month. GN Reaper has promised us free drinks for a month if we win; what more incentive do you need? Top two scorers in each wing get an IS-SW and IS-BW for each round.


Orders:


Be ready to fly in Imperial Storm III. I’m one of the TIE tacticians, and don’t want to be blamed for poor strategy. We need lots of participation.

We still need new nicknames and mottos for Psi Squadron. If I don’t hear anything by mid-week, I’ll throw something together. I’d also like suggestions for changing our own nicknames and mottos.

Activity:


Some contact. I'm still holding out hope for some submissions to the competition with Lamed... anyone, anyone?
