After 30 days, Imperial Storm VI has come to a close.
This years competition saw a plethora of battles as all three Battlegroups sought to take the fight to the Kilji and despite some bumps along the way they did just that.
As per the instructions of Grand Admiral Rapier, the TIE Corps and Secret Order set out to prevent the Kilji Illumine from making passage across the Tkon Rift and using it as passage to attack the species that call this part of the Chaos home. Over the course of the month we saw multiple star systems swap hands as both sides attempted to take and hold the Rift, by the end however the TIE Corps still held sway over several star systems, and just as importantly, had destroyed close to 60% of the Kilji fleet.
Whilst Imperial forces that were damaged in battle had been forced to withdraw from the Rift and seek repairs at the friendly worlds of the Chaos the Kilji have no such allies to fall back on, they remain a threat but a significantly reduced one as they fall back to the worlds they have conquered and in attempt to lick their wounds ahead of any future conflicts.
With the strategic victory in the bag, I am pleased to announce that all participating pilots will receive the Tkon Rift Campaign Medal alongside any Operational Readiness Awards they are due.
A final map has been uploaded to the Imperial Storm VI hub and I will be compiling all of the relevant statistics for Squadron Commanders over the course of the next few days.
Finally, I'd like to thank all of the Team Leads - FA La'an, VA Setzer, RA fr0zen and RA Genie for helping me run this edition of the game, it always takes a lot of behind the scenes work to get it going and a significant amount of patience! I'd also like to thank all of the INN posters, you added a very entertaining element to the month which a lot of people have commented on!!
A post game survey will also be landing in the inboxes of all TC pilots & and I would be grateful if you could take the time to give me any feedback you can on how Imperial Storm VI went for you.
