Welcome to Aylin Squadron Weekly Report #78, being for the week of 17 through 23 February
2001.


Squadron News:
Due to RL stress LT DS-61-2 has been transferred into the reserves. So if you know anyone
qualified to be a flight leader that is ACTIVE, let me know.

LT Alexandros has been assigned as the Flight Leader of Aylin Two.

I have come up with a “short” list of battles to earn some squadron citations.
This is still not a competition, as only Iron Stars are awarded for competitions. However, if you
get them done by the end of February, you’ll earn an ISM for outstanding service to the Empire,
Aylin Squadron and Wing V. The battles are: TC-3, 6, 10, 98, 131 and 132. There is no time
limit.

The challenge by a member of Cyclone Squadron in Wing X on the ISD Challenge to a
competition has been delayed due to a hiccup in its command structure. I have decided on the
Free Mission Battle of Yavin, I will let you know when the comp is a go.

Current Assignments:
The current assignment is the WING V Heavy Rocket Rumble!
Details:
Competition chairman: WC/LC Proton/Wing V/SSSD Sovereign, EHProton@aol.com
Contest Web site: http://wingv.emperorshammer.ca/ (once you get there, follow
the "Heavy-Rocket Rumble" link)

Pilots will engage in several competitions this month in an event intended to
generate a lot of fun for everyone in Wing V.

Each pilot may participate in any or all events. Medals will be given in each
category, and consideration also will be given to an overall champion who
does the best in multiple categories.

The contest begins on Feb. 1 and ends Feb. 28. Pilots are to send all entries
to me at EHProton@aol.com. Make sure to CC: your CMDR on your entries; I may
need to enlist their assistance in gathering stray results at the end of the
contest. They also will need to see your entries for activity-tracking
purposes and to file appropriate BSFs.

CATEGORIES

1. Flight. Fly TC Battle 128, "Operation Yridia Alpha." Laserless scoring in
effect. Winner: Iron Star-Bronze Ribbon. Runner-up: IS-Copper
Ribbon.

2. Mission creation. Create a TIE, XvT or XWA mission or battle. Missions
MUST in some fashion include these elements in the plotline: Wing V and heavy
rockets. Winner: Iron Star-Nickel Ribbon. Runnerup: IS-CR.

3. Fiction. Write stories that include the elements of Wing V and heavy
rockets. Serious and humorous entries will be accepted. All appropriate
submissions will be collected and included in the Wing V Chronicles. Winner:
Iron Star-Nickel Ribbon. Runnerup: IS-CR.

4. Graphics. Wing V could use some new banners. We are primarily a
heavy-assault and assault wing, so pilots should create full-size or link
banner(s) featuring Wing V, and some form of heavy-rocket involvement. Be
creative! Winner: Iron Star-Nickel Ribbon. Runnerup: CR.

5. Invite a cadet. The Wing V pilot who invites the most involvement from PLT
Daedalus cadets as guests in this contest may be recommended for a Medal of
Instruction. During your recruiting communications with cadets, mention this
competition to them -- invite them to participate as a training bonus. Cadets
are not eligible for the main awards unless they become active members of the
wing during the contest period; in these cases, their submissions will be
considred for awards. In any case, this will be great experience for the
cadets and give them a real taste of what active duty will bring. Note:
Pilots will receive credit for a cadet's involvement only if the cadet
includes the pilot's ID line with his submittals to me.

6. Heavy-Rockey Rumble Champion. The overall winner will receive a Palpatine
Crescent for general excellence.
