Kappa Squadron Report - April 23th, 2001 - MAJ Astarosta


*Roasty does the Happy Almost Full Roster Dance, which has some remarkable resemblances to some Village People steps, and the squadron runs away in terror*

Squadron News

-Let's all give a warm welcome to our newest pilot!! On the 3-4 spot joins a long time Wing IIer, insane, with the record of most brain cells killed in one drinking sessions, former Drunk Doctor of Wing II and Rho CMDR, and general buddy of us all, lady boys and lady boys from Kappa let me introduce you to...CM SAURON TARRKE!!!
Now Sauron, with such a presentation I think you owe me a beer :p

-And this marks a new landmark on our recent history, as Kappa reaches 11 members, the biggest number of people on Kappa since I joined. Did you notice that parties with more people are more fun?...or dangerous, depending on whether you're a moralist or not :p
We're ready to kill em all. Now, let's get us another pilot and fulfill our collective party dreams ;)

-I've been promoted to LCM in the MedCorps. Yay me ;)

-Tempest finally got his pending GoE even though I got no mail from the OPS office :/
Anyway, I'll be posting a schedule to put order in the GoE admiration sessions. They'll be limited to 10 minutes each and no touching, playing, praying, polishing, or stealing and walking down the corridor wearing it.
Ah, and BTW Tempie, take this as an advice...don't use your GoE dagger to cut your meat during dinner. :p

-CM Algaron has updated the Kappa Homepage and he added a kewl scrolling bar for the amusement and information of us all. Check it out!

-Wing II succeeded in the FCHG race vs Wing VI yay!! We must now go down one number and smack the butts of Wing V :p

-I know you all want desperately to engage someone in a comp and prove our strenght. So hang on with me for a week and fly the Wing II and Wing V battles ASAP. When that is over in a week, we will possibly engage in a comp involving the combined forces of the two mightiest squads in Wing II. Stay tuned for more.

-Watch out as some of you have been out of contact for a while now. I like you all and I don't want to do any AWOLing. If this goes on, official AWOL warnings will be issued. In fact, there's an official AWOL warning being sent to one of you right now.

-There's a brand new comp brought to you by the expert hands of Sin's CMDR MAJ Stele Pelleaon. Check out http://www.inkwolfraid.50megs.com/ and then head to the orders section for more.

-LCM Tim created a nice short application that calculates FCHG points. Check it out from the mail he sent to you.

-This week's Ol' Roasty's word o' advice: "Take care of your body fat. It is the best companion you have for cold lonely autumns watching TV on a smelly couch."

Another attention caller. Now that I've got it, I want to remind you that thw Wing II vs Wing V comp ends NEXT WEEK and that I want to see on my desk submissions from all of those who haven't flown it yet. Part of being the most rocking squad ever is getting things such as 100% PARTICIPATION!!!!
So c'mon and make your CMDR proud. The battles are TC-TIE 64 and 65, both attached.
EXTREMELY TOP PRIORITY!!!!! GO! GO! GO GO!!!!!!!!!

- The Wing II Pilot League round 9 is ON!!! A Fly FREE-TIE 149 before 6 PM GMT Sunday 29th April, send the file to Algaron and CC me. TOP PRIORITY!!

-As you may or may not have noticed, we're packing our stuff. We'll be transfered to the Escort Carrier Vanguard in a mission to destroy some lame Rebel Training platform. So, we'll be flying some custom missions, one every 2 weeks and each custom mission will feature one of Wing II squadrons. The first one features guess who...yes KAPPA. The deadline is May 6th , head over http://www.inkwolfraid.50megs.com/ to download the mission and submit the pilot file to Stele at tieknt@juno.com Top scorer gets an IS Silver Wings!

Emperor's Hammer Summer Bash/BBQ in Brighton.
Brighton is in the South-East corner of England
along the southcoast. It's a fairly big city, with
an exciting nightlife and a load of shops for all
your shopping needs. I'm co-organising the whole
event with Colonel Mairin and Fleet Admiral Priyum
Patel. If you are American/Canadian/European, and
would like to come and join in the fun, we suggest
you go and have a look at http://www.buzzaway.com,

will be booking the accomodation in Brighton very
soon, so if possible, please mail
guyquake@btinternet.com and
mairin@isdchallenge.org if you can come.

-Online Newsletter #73 Mirror

Since I don't see my online mirror of NL #73
mentioned anywhere, I thought I'd let people know
about it, since I know there are those of you out
there who do not feel like downloading all +6MB
worth of NL zip :-) http://absolutek.com/nl73/

-EH Poland Meeting Reminder

I'm here to remind you about the upcoming EH
Poland meeting. Only 2 months left! I encourage

Would you like to know more? Email Major Marcin
Szydlowski or catch him on irc: MAJ_Mike.

-Challenge COM appointed

Many congratulations go out to Rear Admiral
Manitsas who has been appointed as the new
Commodore for the ISD Challenge. Manitsas has been
a long standing member of the ship, and should
prove to be a fine choice.

-Imperial Costumes - The Fighting 501st

http://www.501st.com/ - The website of the Web's
definitive Imperial Costuming Club. With 430+
members worldwide, and strictly NO Rebel scum
allowed. Anyone who owns or is interested in Star
Wars costuming should visit this site for images,
tips and guidelines on making your own Imperial
costume, as well as comprehensive galleries of
member Stormtroopers, TIE Pilots, Officers, AT-AT
pilots, Royal Guards, Sith Lords and much, much
more. (And if LucasFilm finds out these people are
selling T-Shirts with their logos on them, they'll
probably shut this group down too - SA Kawolski)

Easter weekend was the JediCon 2001 in Germany,
featuring Jeremy "Boba Fett" Bulloch. And guess
what? He signed an autograph for us (again)! Take
a look at it at http://www.medcorps.de/bulloch.html.

-Imperial Vogue

With the demise of EH Cosmospolitan and Battlecry,
Mairin and Werdna have teamed up to produce the
new generation of EH magazine: Imperial Vogue!
We need you! We want articles, emails, funny IRC
logs, everything! This is a magazine for the EH,
so send us in whatever you're interested in.
Being the cheap people we are, we'll take
anything! Send submissions to
werdna_elbee@emperorshammer.ca and somnia_vacua@yahoo.com.

-SpecOps Projects

Greetings. To facilitate an increase in activity,
the Special Operations Director (SOD) is now
accepting new project ideas. The only criteria as
of right now are as follows:

1. New projects must involved the Emperor's Hammer
or once of it's respective subgroups.
2. Any and all suggestions must be original. No
cheap knock-offs of other projects or programs.
3. Make them cool! The EH already has a great
foundation for doing what it set out to do (being
the largest Star Wars organization in the world
and all), so let's all contribute to make it an
even more fun group to be a part of!
As soon as I get a SpecOps webpage up and running,
there will be a submission form for sending in
such ideas and suggestions. For now, just send
them to me at belair2267@email.com. Hope to hear
from you soon!

-COL Callista awarded the MoH

All out congratulations go to the TIE Corps' own
Colonel Callista for being awarded the Emperor's
Hammer highest award, the Medal of Honor!
She has been responsible for several magazine
article mentions and was the coordinator of
running the Emperor's Hammer booth at Jedi Con
2001 in Germany, which will be featured in
Newsletter #74! You can check out some images at
her new homepage at: http://www.geocities.com/callista111/
