Welcome to Aylin Squadron Weekly Report #77, being for the week of 10 through 16 February 2001.

We got a squadron citation back!! Due to the efforts of LT’s DS-61-2, Alexandros, Josef and
Joshua Es’mith, we’ve been awarded a citation for TC-3!! Good job guys!!

Squadron News:
Due to a RL tragic accident LCM Focault has been transferred into the reserves. We tender
prayers to the Force and other being of power that he might recover quickly. In the meantime
we need a new Flight Leader. Applicants should be ABLE and WILLING to fly and mature in
demeanor. Contact LC Gen Es’mith.

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.

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.

Communications:
RESPOND TO EMAILS!!!

Wing News:
(The after shocks of the last episode of cheating are still being felt!)
Four members of Wing V were convicted of cheating and removed from the TIE Corps.
This is a serious offense and is not ignored by ANY level of command.
Cheating includes but is not limited to modifying your pilot record, modifying the battles or
missions, relabeling a pilot record to reflect a different pilot. Any of these occurrences could
end up with your removal from the TIE Corps and will definitely result in a court martial and
rank reduction!

News from around the fleet:
- The Colossus is no longer in danger but still needs more people.
- AD Pryium is now the Flight Officer, as AD Theodore stepped down to spend time with his
wife and new child.
