Description
-----------
This Simulator Battle is composed of 4 subbattles, 1 of 3 missions for each ASF Unit, based 
upon the the Aggressor Strike Force Supremacy Competition. If you ever wondered how these 
forces would fare in combat against eachother - this is your chance to find out.

"The Aggressor Strike Force Supremacy Competition started approx. 2.5 - 3 years ago under then Ad
Priyum. Its goal was to create an atmosphere for the ASF where every single piece of activity was
graded or scored, and each and every pilot had an opportunity to gain medals for this activity. It
sought to find which squadron was the best in the ASF. 

Over the course of three years, the ASF has seen three different BGCOM's, AD Priyum (now FA
Priyum FO), VA Vitcarp, and myself. Each BGCOM ran a SC and put it through different paces. 
These paces are what it has evolved to today. I have personally run two of the Four SC's. ASF SC
IV begining April 1 and ending May 31st. Two months. The first three SC's were one month in
length. 

Of the activities graded: missions flown, victorious battles flown, medals earned, Iwats
courses completed, Recruitment, kills, simulator kills vs other ASF Forces, to name a few are scored. 
I have also included WoW standings (1st,2nd,3rd asf pilots in the WoWs) 

Also something that I've included in the ASF SC is the ASF Flag Ship, currently held by the ISD
GreyWolf, ASF Escort Squadron currently held by ODIN squadron WING XIII, and ASF Ace
currently held by COL Bruckmack now a member of Avenger Squadron. 

I have also granted Avenger Squadron the chance to fight for the VSD Aggressor, which gives that
ship the chance to be the ASF Flag ship. This being a first since the VSD Aggressor, that houses 
the COO and Avenger Squadron, lost its Flagship title to the Grey Wolf." (sic)

Story Line
----------
Battle 1: Wing XIII/ISDII Grey Wolf
-----------------------------------
1. The Supremacy competitions were started by BGCOM/AD Priyum in an effort to get some 
friendly competition going between the ASF Ships and Squadrons. Pilots would be awarded 
points for simulator-kills. At the end of the competition, pilots would be awarded medals 
dependant on the number of points they had gained. Additionally, the winning Ship and 
winning Squadron would be afforded the title of ASF Flag Ship & ASF Escort Squadron 
respectively. 
Each competition is slightly different from the last - mistakes are corrected and 
improvements to the rules are implemented. This is the Fourth edition of the ASF:SC, and 
the second one organized by the current BGCOM/AD Cyric.
In this first simulator run the ISDII Vanguard, home of Wing XV, has challenged the 
current Flagship, the ISDII Grey Wolf, home of Wing XIII, in the Mi'Suh Zone "Room" 30. 
Both ships have their full Wings and a VSD at their disposal - killing the capital ships 
will decide the Team winner. Good Luck to all Flight Groups!

2. Deep in the Minos Cluster two TIE Corps Deuces meet secretly to decide who's best at 
what they do once and for all. The ISDII Intrepid has challenged the current Flagship, the 
ISDII Grey Wolf, over its title and outside TIE Corps regulations both ships arranged a 
duel near the place where they used to face Rebels together in the Outer Rim Conflicts. 
Both Deuces have launched their wings and are set to kill!
This is the last simulator run between two ISDIIs and is deciding in which Wing will come 
on top in the ASF:SCIV. The Grey Wolf is the current Flagship and the sure winner of three 
SC's running, but the Intrepid has already earned more points this time around - the title
of ASF Flagship might very well change hands pretty soon. Both Wings have their minds set 
to winning this and it'll get pretty tense till the end. Good Luck!

3. A slight administrative problem at the TIE Corps Flight Office has created an awkward 
creation: The ISDII Grey Wolf and the VSDII Aggressor have both, sperately, been sent to 
the same Pirate Base to destroy it. Old hostilities between the two ASF ships flared up 
in no time and now the two TIE Corps forces are at eachother's throats looked on by 
flabberghasted Pirates.
This simulator run between the former ASF Flagship, the VSDII Aggressor, and the current 
one, the ISDII Grey Wolf might very well be the deciding one in the ASF:SCIV. Avenger 
Squadron is set to regain the Flagship designation for their ship, while the Grey Wolf 
is not planning to just hand it over.
This engagement between the two "mortal enemies" is all but decided - even though 
Wing XV outnumbers Avenger 6 to 1. Avenger is ahead in points already!

Battle 2: Wing XIV/ISDII Intrepid
---------------------------------
4. The ISDII Intrepid has arrived at the Pyrath Naval Base, the regular operations base 
for the ISDII Vanguard. The Intrepid, with Wing XIV aboard, challenges the Vanguard and 
its Wing XV its right to use the Base for supplies and recreation. The Vanguard is not 
impressed by the threats of the Intrepid COM, the big purple furry VA Brakka, to eat all 
the Vanguard LTs and will fight the Intrepid for the Base...
This simulator run would've been to decide who comes in second in the earlier versions 
of the ASF:SC... In which the Intrepid came in last on two occasions and the Vanguard 
once. But this SC things have changed: the Intrepid definitely has become a force to be 
reconned with  and the Vanguard has been low on points again. Who'll win is solely up to 
the pilots of the wings - so good luck to all and keep all the freighters AND the Base 
out of this if you please.

5. Deep in the Minos Cluster two TIE Corps Deuces meet secretly to decide who's best at 
what they do once and for all. The ISDII Intrepid has challenged the current Flagship, the 
ISDII Grey Wolf, over its title and outside TIE Corps regulations both ships arranged a 
duel near the place where they used to face Rebels together in the Outer Rim Conflicts. 
Both Deuces have launched their wings and are set to kill!
The Greywolf has won this competition the past three times, and no other ship has come 
close to its Activity, but this time it will change. The ISDII Intrepid has seen great 
changes over this year and the Commodore, VA Brakka, strongly feels that we will give the 
Greywolf a run for thier money. 
Your ship needs you !!

6. The Genko System is a "neutral" system on the border of the EH Territories with the 
New Republic which currently is alligned towards the EH - but that might change at the 
blink of an eye again might the Dons of Genko decide that there's more profit in the NR. 
For the time being EH vessels are allowed to resupply at the Genko Platform Brook - the 
location of many a battle between NR and EH.
In this simulator run the Intrepid has been forced to move on from the Pyrath NavalBase 
and get its resupplying done somewhere else. Nearest resupply point from Pyrath is Genko 
so they coursed towards Genko - where they met up with the VSDII Aggressor and Avenger 
Squadron, who promptly challenged the Intrepid's right to be there.
For Genkoans this kind of behaviour is completely normal - so they won't mind too much.

Battle 3: Wing XV/ISDII Vanguard
--------------------------------
7. The Mi'Suh Zone is a region of space not far from the EH Territories of about 75 
planets that have always been heavily disputed - even during the Old Republic and Empire. 
Strangely only after the collapse of these a solution was found to the continuous warring 
that ravaged the Zone - After the populations revolted against their numerous warlords. At 
the "Balanced Squadrons Convention" a truce was made between all the various parties that 
restricted the hostilities - after which it became a popular training ground for various 
parties.
In this first simulator run the ISDII Vanguard, home of Wing XV, has challenged the current 
Flagship, the ISDII Grey Wolf, home of Wing XIII, in the Mi'Suh Zone "Room" 30. Both ships 
have their full Wings and a VSD at their disposal - killing the capital ships will decide 
the Team winner. Good Luck to all Flight Groups!

8. The ISDII Intrepid has arrived at the Pyrath Naval Base, the regular operations base 
for the ISDII Vanguard. The Intrepid, with Wing XIV aboard, challenges the Vanguard and 
its Wing XV its right to use the Base for supplies and recreation. The Vanguard is not 
impressed by the threats of the Intrepid COM, the big purple furry VA Brakka, to eat all 
the Vanguard LTs and will fight the Intrepid for the Base...
This simulator run would've been to decide who comes in second in the earlier versions of 
the ASF:SC... In which the Intrepid came in last on two occasions and the Vanguard once.
Score for the VAN is around 2700 right now. And the Mutt is over 2900, with Avenger over 
3000. There's no accurate count on the INT but the WC thinks we're in the lead. We've 
done really well so far in this competition, but we can do better! 
Who'll win is solely up to the pilots of the wings - so good luck to all and keep all the 
freighters AND the Base out of this if you please.

9. The Emperor's Hammer Combat Operations Center (or EHCOC) is an area of space near 
Aurora that has been designated for different types of training and practice of the EH 
forces. This is where the TC pilots hone their dogfighting skills and where any form of 
non-simulator exersize is held. Of course no live ammo is used but large holo projectors 
will make it look very realistic indeed. 
This time Avenger has challenged Wing XV here in the hope to show that their elite skills 
match that of an entire TC Wing...
"Alright Gents, you know the drill. Avenger is out there to clear our clocks, but we are 
the Vanguard." Ekim said, his voice booming through the briefing room. "That means, we 
clean them out or you all are going to end up doing 12 hour shifts for the next week. 
You all better protect the Shield, the VAN can take care of itself. Pilots, this is it, 
time to show them Elite just means popular not talented. Vanguard, First into Battle, 
First to VICTORY!" Ekim boomed as he shouted, pilots joined him.

Battle 4: Avenger/VSDII Aggressor
---------------------------------
10. The Emperor's Hammer Combat Operations Center (or EHCOC) is an area of space near 
Aurora that has been designated for different types of training and practice of the EH 
forces. This is where the TC pilots hone their dogfighting skills, where ISD gunners 
practice to set the surface of planets ablaze and where any form of non-simulator exersize 
is held.
The VSDII Aggressor hung silently in the shadow of Aurora Prime as it awaited its prey, 
the ISDII Vanguard.  Major Sarin ran his hand over the controls of his craft, a smug 
grin rolling across his face.  Today his old friend and long time rival Major Ekim and 
the ISDII Vanguard would be jumping into the EHCOC portion of space.  The Aggressor was 
under orders to wait for the Vanguard to Jump into EHCOC space.  Upon arrival of the 
Vanguard the Aggressor would launch 12 Hand Picked Elite Avenger Pilots flying highly 
modified craft.

11. The ISDII Intrepid has spent the majority of its career in the very large shadow of 
the ISDII Grey Wolf and the other ships of the ASF.  But now the Intrepid led by the 
Famed Diamond Back "Death Riders" have made an attemp to reign the Glory of ASF 
Flagship in for themselves.  
The VSDII Aggressor and Avenger Squadron have decided that if anyone is going to be the 
Flagship of the ASF, then it would be the "Real" Elites.  Standing in a circle in the 
aft Docking bay of the Aggressor Major Sarin and Colonel Brucmack Briefed the Avengers 
on their upcoming mission.  The Intrepid wanted to stop at the "Neutral" Genko system 
and would be resupplying for 24 Hours.  The Aggressor and All 12 Avengers would challenge 
them at the system and attack without mercy.

12. A slight administrative problem at the TIE Corps Flight Office has created an awkward 
creation: The ISDII Grey Wolf and the VSDII Aggressor have both, sperately, been sent to 
the same Pirate Base to destroy it. Old hostilities between the two ASF ships flared up in 
no time and now the two TIE Corps forces are at eachother's throats looked on by 
flabberghasted Pirates.
This simulator run between the former ASF Flagship, the VSDII Aggressor, and the current 
one, the ISDII Grey Wolf might very well be the deciding one in the ASF:SCIV. Avenger 
Squadron is set to regain the Flagship designation for their ship, while the Grey Wolf 
is not planning to just hand it over.
This engagement between the two "mortal enemies" is all but decided - even though Wing XIII 
outnumbers Avenger 6 to 1. Avenger is ahead in points already!

NOTES
-------------------
COMBAT NOTE: For this mission to work in MP, all players must have it installed on the same mission 
numbers, in this case "121" to "127". Preferably do not change these numbers.
FCHG NOTE: TAC won't let you fly Combat Missions or XWA Skirmishes for FCHG Points, use the Single 
player mission for all TC flying outside of combat competitions. 
GENERAL: You need XvT (or at least all the ships involved there), as far as i know no other patches are 
needed. To fly in Combat all players need the same version, make sure you all have the update by 
lucasarts installed. 
SINGLE PLAYER: This battle was made as a Combat Mission, its goal is to be fair to both sides so it 
can be played instead of a regular melee. 
MULTI PLAYER: For multiplayer this battle supports 4vs4.  Randomize on (not allowed in 
SP) will give you all the same variations in craft, like the navbuoys in melees.
