Get Your Ducks in a Rho

Each pilot in Rho Squadron is challenged to complete a wide variety of activities to earn points in the last two weeks of April! By reaching as many of the various activity thresholds as possible, pilots aim to end the month with the highest total and win the competition! It is important to understand that you cannot earn points from the same threshold multiple times. Details: Each activity threshold can only be reached by each pilot once. You cannot do 6 LoCs and earn 6 points, and if you only do 2 LoCs, you do not get 2 points. Similarly, fictions either pass the 1000 word mark and merit 4 points, or pass the 2000 word mark and earn 6. If you write 3000 words, you still only earn 6 points. All these mechanics encourage pilots to do as many different activities as possible. For the items that are not submitted through the website (WIKI work, fiction, art, etc.), submit these via DM or email to COL Morgan (ossusplayz@gmail.com). There is no prompt for any creative efforts, so the fiction and art can be whatever you want that fits within our EH/SW theme! There is zero tolerance for any AI use in any part of the competition. Art submissions are expected to meet a general standard of effort. No stick figures! The enforcement of the particulars here are to be judged by the competition runner. Even if your uniform is already up to date on the site, you can still get the point! Create the image like you normally would and submit it to the competition runner instead. In the case of ties, all tying pilots shall be awarded the place's medal.

SWTOR Conquest 2: The Search for More Conquest, Season 6

Description: Pilots within the official organizational guilds on the Star Forge server (“Emperor’s Hammer” for the Sith Empire and “Infiltrator Wing” for the Republic) will compete against each other for placement awards while they aide the organization to meet its in-game goals. Criteria: Weekly Placements: Weekly placement awards will be given, per faction, and will be determined by the sum of all conquest points earned by a pilot’s legacy (all characters a pilot has on the server, within the official guilds), calculated from the guild roster screen. Screenshots of the pilot totals will be taken between 10am-12pm GMT on Tuesday. Due to scheduling conflicts, points earned between 10am and 11am GMT on Tuesday may not be represented on the official screenshots. Pilots earning conquest points between 10am-11am GMT on Tuesday will need to submit a screenshot containing all points earned by a pilot’s legacy to eh.gytheran@gmail.com or in DMs to Gytheran on Discord for consideration. Note: It is a good habit to take a screenshot of your conquest totals each week as a back-up in the off chance a catastrophic event occurs, and official screenshots cannot be acquired. The conquest totals can be accessed by all members. While in game, press “G,” select the “Roster” tab, set one of the two right-most columns’ drop-down menus to “Conquest Points,” and sort by “Legacy.” Each week, the top three pilots in each of the two guilds will be awarded Iron Stars and given “placement points” used in the calculation of monthly and final competition awards. Any pilot reaching 100,000 conquest points in either or both SWTOR guilds will also be awarded an Operational Readiness Award (ORA). The ORA can be granted once per faction, per week, for a maximum of two ORAs per week. Placement points are ONLY given 1 time per faction, per week and will be determined by a Pilot’s highest placement within that faction. Placement points for pilots earning 100,000 conquest points are only granted if that is their highest award for that faction. Weekly Awards: Imperial Guild: 1st Place: IS-SW and 12 Placement Points 2nd Place: IS-BW and 11 Placement Points 3rd Place: IS-CW and 10 Placement Points 4th Place: 9 placement Points 100,000 Conquest Points: Any pilot whose legacy earns over 100,000 conquest points for the Imperial guild, “Emperor’s Hammer” will be awarded 1 ORA and 8 Placement Points. Republic Guild: 1st Place: IS-SW and 12 Placement Points 2nd Place: IS-BW and 11 Placement Points 3rd Place: IS-CW and 10 Placement Points 4th Place: 9 placement Points 100,000 Conquest Points: Any pilot whose legacy earns over 100,000 conquest points for the Republic guild, “Infiltrator Wing” will be awarded 1 ORA and 8 Placement Points. Note: Pilots earning over 100,000 conquest points for both the Imperial and Republic guilds will be awarded 2 ORAs. Example: “Pilot A” earned 1.2mil conquest and a 1st place finish for the Imperial guild, but did not place for the Republic guild, managing to earn 150,000 conquest points. “Pilot A” is awarded one IS-SW, 2 ORAs, and given 20 “Placement Points” (12pts for placing 1st for the Empire and 8pts for reaching 100k conquest for the Republic). Monthly Placements: There will be four monthly placements calculated by the sum of “placement points” earned by pilots from each of the two SWTOR guilds each conquest week during a given month and awarded a single set of awards. Again, monthly awards only occur once per month and are calculated by placement points earned in both faction guilds. The conquest dates calculated for the four months’ placements are as follows: January: 7, 14, 21, 28 February: 4, 11, 18, 25 March: 4, 11, 18, 25 April: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 Awards: The top four pilots, by total placement points each month will be awarded Iron Stars w/ Wings. 1st Place: IS-GW 2nd Place: IS-SW 3rd Place: IS-BW 4th Place: IS-CW Ties: In the event there is more than one pilot with the same number of placement points, monthly placement will be determined by the total number of conquest points earned during that placement period. Overall Placements: At the end of the 17 weeks, concluding 11:00am GMT April 29, 2025, all placement points earned by members of both guilds will be tallied and the top pilots will be ranked and given the following awards: 1st Place: IS-PW & Title: “Legendary Conquest: Season 6 Champion of Star Wars: The Old Republic” 2nd Place: IS-GW 3rd Place: IS-SW 4th Place: IS-BW 5th Place: IS-CW Ties: In the event there is more than one pilot with the same number of placement points, the final competition placement will be determined by the total number of conquest points earned throughout the entire competition period.

TIE Corps in Battle Season Eight

One battle each from TIE, XvT, XWA and TFTC will be assigned monthly. Pilots will fly the battles and submit their pilot files through the database normally. Rounds in Season Eight will run for one month each starting from the first day of the month until it's end. This is a return to the former schedule after a couple of Seasons using mid-month start dates - we shall see which works better! The pilot with the highest score each month in each platform will earn 9 points. The next highest score will earn 8, then 7, and so on. All submissions will earn at least 2 points. Any mission high scores will earn 1 bonus point and any battle high scores will earn 2 bonus points. High scores are evaluated in the order the pilot files were submitted, but both pilots will receive the bonus points if a processed high score is overtaken later by another pilot. Points will accumulate for the season for more awards and the overall top pilot will also receive the title TIE Corps Battlemaster. The points earned by each pilot will also be added to their squadron's total and their battlegroup's total. At the end of the season, the participants from top three squadrons and the top battlegroup earn awards.
