Fleet News

Two big promotions this week: Lord Ambassador Quake has been promoted to the rank of Admiral, and Logistics Officer Ramos Kanzco to the rank of Vice Admiral. Congrats to the former :P

Admiral Slade has been appointed as the new Cheif Game Master of the Fringe sub group.

The Fleet Commander has decided to run a competition to design a new EH logo to be used on the EH Domain....the winner will recieve the Grand Order of the Emperor! Full details can be found at http://www.emperorshammer.org/news.htm

Challenge News

After Phase II of Operation: Cantina Run III, the ship standings are as follows:

1st Place: ISD Relentless - 25 Points
2nd Place: ISD Immortal - 13 Points
3rd Place: ISD Challenge - 8 Points
4th Place: ISD Colossus - 7 Points

In the third and final phase, the Challenge has a chance to catch up with the Immortal and take 2nd place, so it is imperitive that *everyone* flies in the competition!

Squadron News

Lieutenant Commander Jerry was removed as Flight Leader 2-1 due to inactivity and lack of communication. I am currently not accepting applications for the position. Let this be a warning to potential Flight Leaders...I won't tolerate such low activity in such a position; FLs are supposed to be the most active members of the squadron, and this should be kept in mind.

Captain Fishbone announced his retirement to the TIE Corps Reserves due to RL demands for him at the moment.

On a brighter note, the Tornado vs IW results should be out later today or tomorow morning, and from the IW liason, it seems as though we may have won! :)

Competitions

Operation: Cantina Run III - Phase 3; fly Free-TIE Mission #150
As I already mentioned, getting this mission flown is imperitive if we are to stand a chance of getting into second position and maybe even coming close to the Relentless. I want to see 100% participation for this...the deadline for your TFRs is March 27th. Get flying!
