Tornado Squadron Briefing
Tornado Squadron Briefing - 5th September 1999



Well, we have a nice stream-lined 6 man squadron now :P
Fleet News
The Dalshar system has been added to the EH Territories...details can be found
in the EH Systems Manual.
Our Flight Officer, Admiral Horn, has been promoted to the rank of Fleet
Admiral! Congratulations Horn!
INQ/FA Vader has been awarded the Grand Order of the Emperor (GoE) for his
outstanding service to the High Court of Inquisitors!
The CA:RO and ROA positions are open, applications go to FA Telf. I myself am
going for the ROA position...hope I get it :P

Wing News
The ISD Challenge homepage has been updated and moved to
http://www.redrival.com/torres/...check it out!
CPT Kryder has left Thunder squadron to go back to the elite Praetorian
Squadron...Wing X seems to have lost a lot of pilots to elite squads lately :(

There are 2 Wing X Graphic Engineer positions available...if you would like
the position, then email WC/MAJ Corran Force with your application, and a
sample of your work.

Squadron News
Two more losses...LT Kircheis Tychsen has left Tornado to go to Tau squadron,
and SL Corran Azzameen has gone to Mu squadron. I have requested more pilots
from MAJ Corran Force, so hopefully we should get some new additions soon.
We need a Flight Motto and Nickname for Flight I...any suggestions are
welcome.
I'm thinking of running a squadron competition seeing as there are very few
flying competitions right now. Once everyone's flown TC Battle 76, I'll
announce what we'll be doing.
The Squadron League awards have at last been announced! Everyone picked up a
Palpatine Crescent, and I got a Bronze Star! I did notice however that VA
Kessler, CPT Darkfire, CM Val Ricaud and VA Striker were not mentioned in the
awards, so I'll ask Wolly about what awards they're getting (they helped
Tornado a great deal in the SL, and deserve recognition). Congrats everyone!
:)

Competitions
For all competitions, submit your entries to me unless otherwise stated.
Battle Group Competition - Phase 1 has begun; Play Free Mission Delta-1
(attached). I haven't been told the deadline, but this is now your primary
objective...and remember to go for the highest score possible. It's only one
mission, so take your time.
Tornado Squadron vs. Mu Squadron - This is no longer a top priority now that
the BG Comp has been announced but still, if you want to help kick Mu's ass
then play TC Battle 76 (attached). An ISM will be awarded to the highest
scoring entry, and the deadline is September 17th. Due to TIE 95 problems,
only the first 4 scores for the battle will be used, but I reccomend you play
the whole battle to get the FCHG points ;)
