After careful consideration and deliberation, please join me in congratulating GN Stryker on his new appointment as commander of Scorpion Squadron!
GN Stryker has served Scorpion well as its first executive officer, and I have no doubt the squadron will continue to thrive under his command in this new role.
Congrats!
Some movement in the Warfare Office this past weekend!
Firstly our incumbent Warfare Officer Assistant (WOA), MAJ Wolve Excelsior Berkana has stood down from the position due to RL time commitments. He goes with my thanks for his efforts!
To fill the vacancy, I'd like to announce that of both LCM GamerRat and LCM Prot Azar will be joining the team as Warfare Officer Assistants (WOA).
The Tactical Office has been busy of late. You may have already seen the missions released for the end of the recent Imperial Storm competition, but Locke Setzer has also released one for X-Wing.
Today we also released a Jagged Fell remaster of a classic DB battle.
Check it all out!
For giving us a first insight into his Character through the INPR, SL Ryan Stiggs of Alpha Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.

From Battlegroup I BGCOM VA Genie:
Since Aug 2024, Habu has amassed three SIlver Stars, 4 Bronze Stars and one Palpatine Crescent, having flown 251 LoCs, 634 LoSs and 291 Single Player Missions!
As Gamma Squadron's commander, Habu submitted 5 monthly reports, along with a much-needed Gamma Wiki page update. He completed studies with a Certificate in Force History, Certificate in Internet Technology, Certificate in Mandalorian Studies, and culminated those earning the Capstone Thesis as a 'Graduate of Starfighter Operations'.
On a personal level, he has reached the Ace 2nd and Ranger 1st Combat Ratings, along with a Paladin rating in the Fleet Commander's Honor Guard that has earned him a Flight Certification at the 19th Echelon.
Habu continues to be an example to follow for his squadron and one of Battlegroup I's lighting beacons!
It is my hope that his continued enthusiasm will rub-off to the rest of Gamma Squadron and BG I.
I proudly recommend him for the promotion to Major
Congratulations, MAJ Habu!

From Gamma Squadron CMDR CPT Habu:
Since entering Gamma Squadron, CM LQC-75-3 has demonstrated superior leadership abilities and rapidly moved from Flight Member to Flight Leader and now Squadron XO.
His commitment to Gamma, particularly in the recent Imperial Storm challenge was exemplary. He continues to improve with Imperial University courses and is steadily moving up in all categories of Flight Certifications, reaching the 11th Echelon, with Combat Ratings of Veteran 4th and Private 1st.
His steadfast dedication to Emperor's Hammer in combat with 96 LOCs and 36 LOS's, proves he is deserving of advancement.
I'm honored to recommend CM LQC-75-3 for promotion to the rank of Captain.
Congratulations, CPT LQC-75-3!
From Sin Squadron CMDR COL Honsou:
Since his promotion to Commander, on the 10th day of the 10th month in the year 32 ABY and the 31st day of the 3rd month 33ABY, CM Gian Webb has achieved multiple accolades. These include a Bronze Star of the Empire and reaching the 12th Echelon of their Flight Certification Wings. In this time they have been awarded 55 Legions of Skirmish from active Patrol duties. 11 Legions of Combat from engagement with the enemy, 28 additional missions from the Single Pilot Simulators, and completed two courses from the Imperial University. This is not to mention that since the 13th day of the 12th month 32 ABY CM Gian Webb has performed admirably in Sin Squadron's 3-1 position, as Flight Leader, and is a founding member of the Sinfantry.
In celebration of his accomplishments, it is with great pride that I recommend that CM Gian Webb be promoted to Captain (CPT) - with all rights, privileges, and responsibilities entailed.
Congratulations, CPT Gian Webb!

Interested applications should reach out to AD Locke Setzer via Discord (LockeSetzer) or email (locke.f.setzer@gmail.com). Please include current Scorpion commander GN Jarek La’an in these initial communications as well (rlaan on Discord, thisisquitealongaddress@yahoo.com for email).
Imperial Storm VII comes to a close with the completion of our final set of battles. This past weekend saw the TIE Corps put up some superb scores which allowed us to achieve our goal of claiming the fueling depot that we sought to take from the First Order. Over the course of the last several weeks the TIE Corps Battlegroups have been successful in removing the First Order presence from the system, claiming several vessels in the process. Damage has been taken, but that leads us to our next competition - Squadron (Re)Mobilization which is currently scheduled for June 2025.
Details and the wrap up can be found in the recent WO report. Operational Readiness Awards and the Campaign Medals will be issued to all participating pilots shortly.
With the completion of Imperial Storm in the next 24 hours, the TIE Corps will begin gearing up for our next fleet wide competition in June - TIE Corps Exercise: Squadron (Re)Mobilization 7. The format will largely follow the format of TIE Corps Exercise: Squadron (Re)Mobilization 6 from last year, with some modifications here and there.
With this in mind, I am looking for an additional Warfare Officer Assistant to join the team that currently consists of MAJ Wolve Excelsior Berkana and myself.
This is a secondary position, that can fit in alongside other activities. The successful individual will be helping me flesh out the Warfare Office in addition to putting together and supporting fleet wide competitions such as Ace of the TIE Corps, TIE Corps in Battle, Imperial Storm, Squadron (Re)Mobilization and Raise the Flag.
If interested please drop me a message on Discord.
For giving us a first insight into his Character through the INPR, SL Archelon Thrain of Spear Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.

Please join me in Plif's Asteroid Bar and Grill to congratulate him on achieving a prestigious goal that only 1 other pilot has ever met!

Reason given for this request:
For 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 vivit.
Congratulations AD Robert Hogan!

Under Colonel Maston Dane’s enthusiastic and tireless guidance through four completed tours of duty, Rho Squadron ascended to the TIE Corps Commander’s Escort honor for a second time in a five year period. Colonel Maston Dane’s full accomplishments have been celebrated in recent awards and promotions and we stand proudly and gratefully for all he has done. The time now arrives for his next chapter.
In continuance of the mission set by Admiral Hav Antiel in reactivating Rho’s hangar bay, and the commitment to expanding and sharing Rho’s leadership as proposed by Vice Admiral Adom Wietu, a new candidate has been identified for Rho Squadron’s open Executive Officer position.
With a future commitment to follow in the footsteps of Vice Admiral Adom Wietu, Colonel Westric Davalorn, Colonel Alexandre Morgan, and most recently Colonel Maston Dane, we proudly announce that Captain Jai Thorne has been selected as Rho Squadron’s new Executive Officer.
Captain Jai Thorne has made an explicit commitment that he will join the rotation outlined above after a minimum of two tours of duty in the SQXO position to fully integrate and prepare. Until that time, we welcome Colonel Alexandre Morgan back to the Rho Commander position and thank him in advance for mentoring Captain Jai Thorne through the journey with his new squadron.
