TIE Corps Command Report |
Weekly
Report #4 – Submission date: March 17th 2013 |
Introduction |
Greetings, As you’ve been
reading through regular fleet communications, the TIE Corps has launched a
campaign to bring down the so called “Void Raptors” and its leader, Val
Duquesne. These pirate-type troublemakers have practiced innumerous raids to
convoys and liners in the Karana Sector, and must be dealt with quickly. We
will be establishing a base in this sector to launch our operations from. Your
orders are to pursue and capture Duquesne and their lieutenants for
questioning, and are cleared to dispose of any of their fleet. Intel says
that we have a major tactical advantage in the sector, but beware, as some
advanced crafts have been spotted, which leads us to believe that there may
be someone sponsoring their activities. Investigate wherever possible,
destroy any pirate forces you find, and capture key elements. FA La’an will
brief the squadrons on their respective assignments. Good luck, pilots. The scenario placed
above has resulted in the release of The Karana Initiative competitions,
which will be composed of a series of integrated comps with the purpose of
developing this story. The first phases of this competition will involve
fiction and battle plot creation, where one entry will be selected as basis
for a TAC created battle that will be used for the flying portion of the
competition. As you’ve read in the background story, there are many avenues
to choose from, so feel free to explore any or all of them as you please. There
is even the possibility of taking stories that complement themselves and
using them all, so this should bring a lot of ideas. Deadline is the end of
the month, and usual Iron Stars for the first 3 places will be awarded, as
well as a Commendation of Tactics for the best battle plot. The last open
command spot in the fleet has been filled! LCM Kyle Kroan has been promoted
to Delta Squadron’s Flight 3 Leader. Congratulations, LCM Kroan, and good
luck with your flight! The MB based TAC
competitions are ongoing, with several medals being awarded so far. Congrats
to Crsepe and Clark! Keep checking the message boards for the following
rounds of these competitions! Database works
progresses, as COL Zósite continues to adjust it to the new host. However, we
are still waiting to get access to the data compiled by the current database,
so we can place it in the new database. We’ll try not to let this delay our
progress. |

you should use real Win98 machine” Point for Impulse :) 2 – MAJ Impulse: “i always wonder why people don't have
dual boot with 32bit XP” FA Jarek La’an: “In my case at least a combination
