Neutralization of the Ishtari Campaign
In 32 ABY, Emperor's Hammer forces arrived at the Assurian Halo to free the planets from the Ishtari insectoids' control and hopefully neutralize them for good. After a month long campaign full of small battles that slowly chipped away at both the Emperor's Hammer and Ishtari forces, the Emperor's Hammer was able to push into the core planets of the system. Vicious fighting lasted until the last day, where the TIE Corps eventually proved triumphant.

AdmiralFor two years and four months, Robert Hogan served as an exemplary Command Attaché to the Training Office, leaving behind a legacy of honor, dedication, and initiative that will set a high standard for his successors. He was the driving force behind the creation of the Imperial University’s certificate paths and the founding of the “Proceedings” Academic Journal. Robert consistently worked tirelessly to maintain spreadsheets tracking ongoing projects within the office while preserving an archive for proper record-keeping. He maintained open communication with the Training Office Assistant staff and was trusted to make key decisions in the absence of the Training Officer. A voice of reason and a trusted advisor to all volunteer members, Robert’s technological and graphic design expertise made him an invaluable asset to the office. It is with great pleasure and honor that I retroactively recommend Vice Admiral Robert Hogan for promotion to the rank of full Admiral. Thank you for your exceptional contributions and dedication to the development of the Imperial University. Memoria tua in atriis educationis vivitPromotion recommended by: FA Sylas Pitt |

Vice AdmiralRobert Hogan had spent a mere 16 days as Training Officer Assistant before being offered the position of the Command Attache to the Training Officer, easily showcasing his dedication and passion for academia. Soon after becoming the CA, he began to work on developing and expanding the scope of the Certifications program for the Imperial University, creating spreadsheets of data for the TO, and developing Markdown conversion files for all of our old HTML-based courses. It is no secret that Robert Hogan has a passion for the Emperor's Hammer, stretching himself between the Training Office and the Internet Office, offering his expertise as a Jack of All Trades to all who would benefit, earning him a staggering two (2) Gold Stars of the Empire within a single year. Hogan has been a mentor and guiding hand to the new members of the Command Staff, offering advice, assistance, and friendship. Robert Hogan has become a trusted advisor and has more than earned his place as a member of the Command Staff, and there is no one else I would trust to carry on in my stead and to act with my authority. It is with great honor and pleasure that I recommend Rear Admiral Robert Hogan for the promotion to Vice Admiral.Promotion recommended by: FA Sylas Pitt |

ColonelIt is not an exaggeration to say that LC Robert Hogan is one of TC's most active multi player pilots of recent times. In the past 13 months LC Robert Hogan raked up six Bronze Stars and six Silver Stars of the Empire - and that is only because Gold Stars can no longer be earned in the monthly evaluation. There were months in which they scored enough points for more than two, once even nearly six Silver Stars. If all of this was not enough, they have been very active as TOA, revamping entire IU courses and creating new ones. They worked on wiki pages, created logos, graphics, renderings, uniform 3D objects, and textures. On top of that they fulfilled their role as FL and SQXO by helping out other pilots, substituting for the CMDR and they even went as far as looking out for our entertainment by adding songs to the Warrior playlist. They have gone above and beyond for the Corps. It is an absolute pleasure to recommend LC Robert Hogan for promotion to Colonel!Promotion recommended by: LC andr3 |

Lieutenant ColonelRobert Hogan has been a stalwart member of Sin squadron for as long as I have known. Over the last year he has led Sin as CMDR from the front and more recently as FL and SQXO with guile. An avid communicator, he prides himself in inspiring his squad mates to achieve their very best and is never far away from offering advice and support. He always looks for opportunity to improve the TIE Corps as a whole with ingenious proposals to improve the Imperial University and in designing whole new courses with high quality content. All the while he maintains the finest example of what it means to be a TIE Corps pilot in his activity. Achieving no less than 2 Silver Stars, 5 Bronze Stars, 2 Palpatine Crescents and an Imperial Security Medal through flying 449 LoCs and 184 LoSs as well as numerous competition entries and victories. It is with immense pride that I therefore recommend the promotion of Robert Hogan to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. It's not often a CMDR has the honour of recommending a promotion to such a rank and to such a fine pilot. Congratulations Lieutenant Colonel Robert Hogan!Promotion recommended by: LC SkyShadow |
