"The Dark Redmemtion". Cool.

SQUADRON NEWS

I want to hear your ideas for any competitions that
you want to have. Don't limit yourself to purely
flying comps, too. I am currently comtemplating a Run
On on the MB, so tell me if you would actually do it.
(Or mabye we should open it up to the whole wing. That
might be scary, though =P)

The position of FL for flight III is open. If anyone
is interested in taking it, email me. Otherwise, I'll
have a monkey dressed like a clown pull a name out of
a hat.

WING NEWS

The Prelude to Andevia results have been released, and
Wing IV really brought home the bacon. Good job, guys.

With the Sov recruiting comp going on, you should go
and recruit someone. We are the smallest wing in the
fleet, and have a three way tie for smallest squad in
the wing, so go round up some unsespecting people to
join us.

1) EH Holonet Awards
11:56 - FA Ari [ari@tiecorps.org]
After months of planning, the EH Holonet Awards have
finally begun! They are a chance for you to vote on
the sites you think are the best! The first stage is
the Nominations stage, which will last for two weeks.
You may nominate more than one site, but each site
must be in a different awards category. Nomination
standards (highly recommended that you read them,
because if the site does not comply, it will be
rejected) and awards descriptions are on the main EHHA
site. All sites MUST be in compliance with the
Internet Guidelines.
The main EHHA site is located at
http://ehha.stardestroyer.org. Thanks to IOA Alex
Foley for creating and coordinating the EHHA.

Imperial Storm News

1) We won today's battle by forfeit. The whining and
incompetent (whotta combination) BGs TFA/TAC team did
not get their files ready in time so automatically
lost.

This may be a mixed blessing for us ... I think we
would have lost the battle, although this forfeit
removes any chance that we would have taken out the
Colossus this time, and Stele thinks we could have
done so.

Anyway, it's back to action on this and other fronts.
As always, be ready for action!

I also want to give slaps on the back all around for
the outstanding turnout at today's battle! We had more
than a dozen Sov pilots and several other observers on
hand, far outshowing the BGs. The BGs rank-and-file
noticed our strength, too.

Last but not least, hail to our expert TACs, COL Stele
and CPT Killer, who as usual had us ready for combat
with plenty of time to spare and great tactical work!

GO, SOV!!!

COM/VA Proton/SSSD Sovereign

2) The Sovereign vs. BattleGroups battle set for today
is over. The Battlegroups failed to meet the deadline
for the TIE mission, the time for the battle was upon
us, and the misison was still not done. According to
the rules, failure to deliver TIE or XWA missions on
time, is considered to be a withdrawal from the
combat, at usual losses (25% the size of the enemy
fleet, in points). This means that time is resumed,
the BG will have to retreat, and we can start. I will
re-issue Turn 9 results tonight, and expect Turn 10
orders on Sunday night (by midnight eastern). The game
will not stop for the US holiday this weekend.
