Beta Squadron Weekly Report #16

Welcome to the sixteenth Beta Squadron Weekly Report!

This week was a regular moderately active one, with some Star Conflict and some trivia. We managed to get 5 people involved in the quiz, so let's boost it to 6 next week!

Beta had another new addition recently, everyone please welcome Sub-Lieutenant Kryysta Calthranus!

The poll is still on about which ship to open up next, please vote if you didn't yet, even if you just got here. You can see the entire Order of Battle here, and you can pick a ship that you like. No submissions so far for the BTE, as a reminder, we have one week left to fly XvT-TC 33: Wing XV: Python Squadron. I'm desperate enough to offer the Bronze Wings to all participating pilots if we manage to get this citation by the end of February. That currently means at least 5 submissions. I'm sure we can do it!

I am thinking about modifying our squadron patch a bit, to make it more in-universe. Aurebesh letters would look nice on it, wouldn't you agree? Then, to make my reports more in-universe as well, I'm going to write everything in Imperial Basic. ;) Just kidding of course, but I'll probably edit the patch, I think it would look cool.

Star Wars Fun Fact of the Week

Hayden Christensen became the only actor in any Star Wars movie who didn't get to choose the design of his lightsaber. It had been a tradition, but Christensen was stuck using a saber of the same design that Obi-Wan gives Luke in A New Hope.
