Epsilon Squadron Weekly Report – 23rd July 2014


CMDR-TCS/COL Dunta Polo here reporting in for Epsilon squadron.

Activity fluctuated again this week, although both singleplayer and multiplayer matches were logged by Epsilon pilots, with my own focus being on SP missions. I also picked up an IS-BW for placing second in Hammer on Patrol's TIE category for week 16. Lt Colonel Gyssler had a good run of Star Conflict matches, achieving several LoCs. The number of pilots in the TIE Corps increased again, including a new addition to Epsilon itself, SL Hav Antiel who joined Flight III. The winner of the Epsilon banner\uniform patch competition was Lt Colonel Impulse of Kappa squadron, with Lt Commander Chrome of Alpha squadron taking second place.

SOO Zosite Styles received a promotion to Vice Admiral, for his excellent service to the TIE Corps. The position of Beta CMDR is still open for applications, although Kyle Kroan is acting commander of the unit in the interim.
