We are closely approaching the halfway mark for Squadron (Re)Mobilization 7, and there are multiple things for me to announce.
Firstly, congratulations to Spear Squadron for being the first to complete all 48 of their assigned tiers. Superb work, and we haven't even reached 2 weeks!
In close second and third are Lambda and Typhoon squadrons. Keep it up!

Secondly, I would like to remind that on June 15, 00:01 UTC, headcount values for every squadron are LOCKED, meaning that the point values relative to squadron size will remain the same, even if people join/leave the squadron.
Continuing forwards, we have a little over 2 weeks left until the end of Squadron (Re)Mobilization.

Another reminder- fiction, wiki, and battle creation are NOT automatically tracked on the scoreboard but are manually input by the WO or WOAs. If your entry does not appear immediately, this is the reason.

Anyways, have a great rest of the month, and keep up the hard work!

I am pleased to be able to announce that AD Marenta Jean has been appointed as the Communications Officer of the Emperor's Hammer. She will join the EH Internet Office as a Command Staff (CS) principal who is responsible for administration of Emperor's Hammer communication platforms and enforcing member conduct.

In the coming days, we will post a revised version of the Code of Conduct and Articles of War thanks in large part to the final efforts of HA Jarek La’an as he transitioned out of the role. These updates will simplify these documents slightly, and provide for greater clarity when all officers of the organization need to apply these guidelines in handling various member conduct issues.

Marenta has been laterally appointed to her previously-achieved rank of Admiral. Please take a moment to welcome her to the role!

From Alpha Squadron CMDR CPT Witchblade:

Lieutenant Sundown has been a exemplary member of Alpha since his arrival into the squadron 2 months ago, he has flown multiple battles, taken part in competitions and carried the baton with the Imperial University courses so far in Squadron ReMobilization.

For this effort I am very pleased to be recommending a immediate promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Commander!

Congratulations, LCM Sundown!

For completing the TCCORE Imperial University course at an impressive 100%, SL Yamamoto Z of Lambda Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.

Congratulations, LT Yamamoto Z!

For completing their first set of TIE-free missions, SL Dash Ardaan of Scorpion Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.

Congratulations, LT Dash Ardaan!

From the Commander of Battlegroup III, AD Locke Setzer:

During his time in the rank of Major, MAJ Jagged Fell III has continued to be a tremendous leader for Typhoon Squadron specifically and the fleet as a whole. Under his command, Typhoon has continued to prosper, providing the best overall performance for a BG3 squad during Raise the Flag, and twice earning the BG3 Squadron of the Month title over the past four months (and always contending). Additionally, Typhoon recently earning a MUA for a third place finish in TIE Corps in Battle, driven by overall squadron participation far more than anyone's individual skill - again, a testament to his leadership.

Beyond that, MAJ Jagged Fell III continues to assist in the fleet at large, running the fleetwide Down the Middle competition over the past few months, as well as being a regular advocate for TFTC, making significant contributions to documentation on the wiki and assisting regularly in the #techical-support channel.

He has never failed to get in a new report or turn in his MSE on the first of every month, ensuring that his pilots are always informed and awarded as quickly as possible. Furthermore, he continues to be an outstanding individual member, earning no less than a BS every month since he took command of Typhoon.

As a BGCOM, I truly could not ask for more from a commander, which makes this about as easy of a promotion recommendation request to write as possible.

For this and more, I recommend MAJ Jagged Fell III be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel!

Congratulations, LC Jagged Fell III!

From Theta Squadron CMDR CPT Tiran Marr:

Since his promotion to the rank of Commander at the beginning of Imperial Year 34 ABY, CM Armon Ferro has served with great honor and distinction. He is a veteran member of Eagle Squadron and has consistently proven himself time and time again to be a highly valued, respected, and skilled pilot within the TIE Corps. He has successfully achieved both the necessary time in rank and the number of merit medals required to see him through to the next chapter in his career within the TIE Corps; the rank of Captain. Outside of his pilot duties, CM Ferro has joined Theta Squadron as our newest Squadron Executive Officer where he serves as a leader, mentor and a valued friend to all of the pilots who serve our great Empire.
His actions reflect great credit upon himself, Theta Squadron, the TIE Corps, and the Emperor's Hammer. I am honored to formally promote him to the rank of Captain. Cheers to Captain Armon Ferro! To the bitter end!

Congratulations, CPT Armon Ferro!

Whilst the majority of the TIE Corps Exercise: Squadron (Re)Mobilization 7 tasks are automatically tracked by the tracker, a few are manually added by the WO / WOA team.

I'd therefore ask that if you make any wiki edits or write any fiction that you please let us know so we can manually add it!

Greetings all,

There have been a small number of important changes to the Combat Operations Office Manual

First of all, I would like to thank COL TheBlackxRanger for his assistance in uploading example screenshots for a number of our game platforms. We now have example screenshots for all supported EH Multiplayer games.

Secondly, a change to Star Wars: Squadrons PvP Dogfights:

• Minimum match time is now 5 minutes
• Minimum kills is 30
• A wording change to the "XvT Furball" mode has been made to clarify that it is a shorthand for settings, not a mandated mode.

These changes have been made on a trial basis, due to feedback about the difficulty of finding matches that fit our requirements. The timing change is also bringing the game in line with the classic X-Wing simulators (XvT, XWA, etc). The Combat Operations Office will be monitoring submissions to ensure that these changes have their intended effect, and that the integrity of our processes are upheld.

Happy (Re)Mob!

From the Commander of Battlegroup I, VA Genie:

Proud to be announcing Delta's new CMDR, LCM Hera Storm. Hera's energy and enthusiasm leads me to believe Delta will be in great hands. Join me in congratulating Hera on her new role and to a bright future for Delta Squadron!

Welcome to this years TIE Corps Exercise: Squadron (Re)Mobilization!
Commencing at 00:01 UTC on June 1st!

As per an older report by the TCCOM -
"Starting from its first run in 2019, (Re)Mob was designed to get each squadron together to complete tasks as a team in a way that was similar in scale to Raise the Flag but not as much of a firehose of activity..."

Squadron (Re)Mobilization is a competition that pits our squadrons, largely against themselves and rewards squadrons for working together as a team. Over the course of the next month each squadron will try and complete as many of the tasks on the list as possible, each task having been broken into four equal chunks to assist them in completing the tasks they wish to complete.

The tasks cover many of the different activities that the TIE Corps has to offer, from completing Single Player battles from our Battle Compendium, to flying both against and with each other in PvP or PvE combat. We also have tasks around fiction writing, completing Imperial University Courses and wiki editing alongside creating the outline of a battle which was a big hit last year!

This year, Squadron (Re)Mobilization will be running from 00:01 June 1st to 11:59 June 30th

• For full details on the tasks please refer to the competition outline here
• The online scoreboard created by FA Pickled Yoda can be found here
• You can also find some background info in yesterday's Warfare Officer Report #11

From Epsilon Squadron CMDR CPT Nova Discordia:

Epsilon Squadron is thankfully full of wonderfully excellent officer-pilots - but one who consistently takes the fight to the enemies of the Empire is CM Von Goosington, As a long term pilot of the squadron, CM Von Goosington upholds each and every month, a flying standard the rest of us can only wonder at.
In addition his reviews and reports are insightful and helpful to everybody & he is a valued and regular friend on our TC and squadron forums. It therefore gives me great pleasure to recommend this pilot to the rank of Captain.

Great work, pilot!

Congratulations, CPT Von Goosington!

This promotion is in effect from April, due to an administrative delay.

From Scorpion Squadron CMDR GN Stryker:

Since joining Scorpion Squadron, LT Superpak has become something of a scholar. In two months, they have completed fifteen Imperial University courses, including TCCORE and DBCORE. For their representation of Scorpion Squadron in the world of academia, LT Superpak has earned promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Commander!

Congratulations, LCM Superpak!

For giving us an in-depth view into his Character through his INPR, SL Mad_Spier of Gamma Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.

Congratulations, LT Mad_Spier!

For giving us a tiny glimpse into his Character through the INPR and preparing for further advancement through taking the TCCORE Imperial University course, SL Yanosh of Gamma Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.

Congratulations, LT Yanosh!

With COL Highlander's transfer to the reserves, a new CMDR position has opened in Battlegroup I. Any interested applicants reach out to VA Genie via Discord DMs.

The new CMDR will have the option to
A) continue in Delta Squadron
B) re-open Beta Squadron
C) Explore the option of opening a squadron for the first time in the ISDII GreyWolf

The squadron will have to be built from the ground up, which some pilots may even find preferable.

After applications were taken and interviews were conducted, CM Armon Ferro has been selected to become Theta Squadron's new Executive Officer. Ferro is new to both Theta and Battlegroup II, having transferred from Eagle Squadron in Battlegroup III. Congratulations and good luck in your new role!

I would like to express my appreciation for the hard work of HA Jarek La’an while serving as our Communications Officer (COMM). Many of our members have seen his presence across our various Discord servers. What they typically don’t see is the amount of work that goes into the role behind the scenes, tirelessly working to ensure our communication platforms are maintained in a civil manner and mediating interpersonal conflicts when they occur.

With HA La’an’s transition, we are currently seeking applicants for the position of COMM. Applicants should be familiar with the recently updated position description for the COMM (https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Communications_Officer) which now has a greater level of detail regarding duties and responsibilities. (This refined position description goes along with an update to the EH Code of Conduct and Articles of War, to be published in the near future.)

The most successful applicants will:

• Have a history of a high level of presence on Emperor’s Hammer Discord servers.

• Have a demonstrated history of conduct that is consistent with the duties of the COMM, including possessing a high degree of interpersonal tact and the ability to effective communicate across multiple points of view and Subgroups.

• Have a strong knowledge of Emperor’s Hammer processes and procedures.

The COMM is a primary Emperor’s Hammer Command Staff (EH CS) position organized within the Internet Office. This is a fleet-wide leadership position, and to eliminate potential conflicts of interest the selectee will be prohibited from assuming other command roles within any Subgroup during their tenure. The COMM also maintains privileged-level access to Emperor’s Hammer systems, and as such is considered a position of trust. The prospective individual selected as COMM will be subject to verification of ID and suitability screening prior to final appointment.

Interested individuals should email applications directly to me no later than Monday, 26 May. Applicants are encouraged to explain why they are interested in the position, and how they would perform the duties and responsibilities of the position. I will reply to all applications to confirm receipt.

I'm also happy to respond to any questions about this vacancy announcement.

For completing the TCCORE Imperial University course, SL Ran Cardell of Tempest Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.

Congratulations, LT Ran Cardell!
