When TIE Corps admiral steps down and takes up a squadron position, we tend to call that a retirement but I suppose that's not quite accurate. VA fr0Zen has resigned as BG2COM but will still be on active duty and a contributing member of the Corps. He's got my appreciation for everything he's done for us and I hope things go well for him in his new assignment as a Flight Member in Theta Squadron.
Thank you for your service, COL fr0Zen!
From the Commander of Battlegroup II, VA fr0Zen:
Between the time of his prior promotion on the fourteenth day of the second month of Imperial Year ABY 34, and the 27th day of the second month of this Imperial Year ABY 35, Colonel Alexandre Morgan, the Rho Squadron Commander, led his crew to a second consecutive Escort Squadron title. He submitted eleven Squadron Reports for historical record, operated a fleet wide “Bucket Bash - TIE Edition” helmet design competition, a squadron focused “Get Your Ducks in a Rho” event, and provided operational expertise to multiple morale enhancing exercises in partnership with peers to expand community.
Colonel Alexandre Morgan has been an asset to the Battlegroup II Commander team by solving documentation system and process challenges through training and hands-on support. He created supplemental resource material to ease the journey for aspiring Squadron Commanders, and has been a consistent source of community building visibility in fleet wide voice communication channels. Through advice and support beyond his years to his Battlegroup Commander, Colonel Alexandre Morgan has been a foundational rock of support, chain of command diligence, and security in sensitive matters.
Colonel Alexandre Morgan continues to demonstrate admirable skills as a pilot - earning 53 Legions of Combat, and 593 Legions of skirmish across this time.
With broad efforts and participation, Colonel Alexandre Morgan has collected an array of Iron Stars of various Wings and Ribbons, received the qualification “Graduate of Letters and Arts” from the Imperial University, and contributed multiple works to the Imperial Library.
Colonel Alexandre Morgan has now reached the Elite 2nd and Ace Ranger 2nd Combat Ratings, placing him in the final 21st Echelon of Flight Certification.
Through the combination of the above details, a monthly merit medal earned every month since his prior promotion, and in honor of his steadfast leadership, we proudly recommend Colonel Alexandre Morgan be awarded the rank of General - with all rights, privileges, and responsibilities entailed.
Congratulations, GN Alexandre Morgan!
The 2nd place battle of the 2025 Mission Design Competition has been released. It was made by COL Brucmack.
Today, the TIE Fighter Total Conversion team has released the newest version of that excellent mod. The update brings many, many changes to the mod, most immediately apparent is the move to HD for the Concourse and briefings.
As a note though, we in the Tactical Office are hard at work in retesting all the currently released EH missions for TFTC, but this isn't an instant process and it will be some time until the Tactical Office is able to post v1.4 compatible versions of our missions. As such, until otherwise posted, the Official version of TFTC for EH missions is still 1.3.4a (feel free to use v1.4 for playing the TFTC Campaign though).
For completing their first TIE-TC single player battle, SL Jan Zahkadra of Scorpion Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.
Congratulations, LT Jan Zahkadra!
From Spear Squadron CMDR CPT MsMayham:
As CM Mack Udar reaches the end of his first year in the Emperor’s Hammer—and his first full year as a core, unforgettable member of Spear Squadron—his record speaks for itself. He has shown up for his squadron across the full spectrum of activity: rising to the top of the kill boards, throwing himself into countless competitions, and providing the kind of chaotic, good‑natured antics that keep morale high.
Beyond his combat output, he has strengthened Spear through recruitment, bringing new members into our ranks, and he has served as a highly valued SQXO whose reliability, presence, and leadership have been felt every single month. His dedication, spirit, and impact on the squadron make him an exceptional asset to both Spear and the wider TIE Corps.
For his service I CPT MsMayham highly recommend him for the next rank of Captain.
Congratulations, CPT Mack Udar!
This promotion is enacted retroactively dated November 30th.
From Rho Squadron CMDR COL Alexandre Morgan:
Jai "Axis" Thorne is a model of a true renaissance pilot, his talents and activities more varied and diasporic than most others. He finds himself achieving in everything from Imperial University courses to competition participation, and is as proficient in the cockpit as he is with a stylus writing fictions. In the time that has passed since his last promotion, Thorne has completed and passed over twenty Imperial University exams, submitted three fiction items for archiving, flown in and survived two campaigns, earned six Bronze Stars and countless other medals of merit, and even put on competitions for others to participate in while authoring academic courses. His Legions number just under three hundred, propelling his Flight Certification Wings to the 13th Echelon, and he was a force to be reckoned with during Rho Squadron's historic Raise the Flag title defense.
But perhaps even more impactful to the TIE Corps than these achievements is his attitude and his social contributions. Serving as Squadron Executive Officer in two squadrons and currently as Flight Leader, he offers his insights, leadership experience, and positive demeanor to the entire squadron, Battlegroup, and Corps. I am sincerely proud to have worked side-by-side with Thorne in various offices and consider myself lucky to have him as a wingman.
For his meritorious actions since his last promotion, his achievement of the requisite time, and his exemplary record, I enthusiastically recommend that Jai Thorne be promoted to the rank of Major and be afforded all the rights, privileges, and honors thereunto appertaining.
Congratulations, MAJ Jai Thorne!
This promotion is enacted retroactively dated November 30th.
From Rho Squadron CMDR COL Alexandre Morgan:
Lieutenant Craness Regihill truly blossomed into a Rho Squadron gem as 34 ABY turned into 35. A few months into his TIE Corps career, Regihill found his stride and areas of interest. Earning back-to-back Imperial Security Medal merit awards in December and January for his excellent flying prowess coupled with academic drive at the Imperial University, Regihill stood tall as a proud example of a strong new Lieutenant. His squadron commander truly enjoys the time he gets in the simulation pods with the enthusiastic young talent.
Having completed his TCCORE exam successfully on his first attempt, and earning two Imperial Security Medals to proudly pin on his uniform, I enthusiastically recommend that Craness Regihill be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander and be afforded all the rights, privileges, and honors thereunto appertaining.
Congratulations, LCM Craness Regihill!
From Firebird Squadron CMDR GN Master:
LCM Jafan has been a steady and reliable presence in Firebird Squadron since joining our little merry band in February 2024. Over that time he has shown consistent engagement, solid activity, and a clear upward trend in the past few months. He’s become one of those pilots who doesn’t need to announce himself — the work shows up, the numbers appear, and the squadron moves a little smoother because he’s there.
His recent performance reflects a pilot who has settled into his role and is ready for the next step in his journey. The progression feels natural, earned, and aligned with the contribution he brings to Firebird.
For these reasons, I recommend LCM Jafan for promotion to the rank of Commander (CM).
Congratulations Commander.
Congratulations, CM Jafan Russ!
This promotion is enacted retroactively dated November 30th.
The Tactical Office is pleased to announce the release of a new battle and free mission.
