Since becoming TCCOM, I've been working with the other admirals to make some decisions about who's going to be SOO and COO, then later who our new COMs will be. With those decisions made, we find ourselves here on the promised announcement day. As previously announced, VA John T. Clark is stepping into the SOO role and AD Miles Prower is the new COO. GN Elwood the Brave resigned from his COOA secondary role and was awarded the GOE for his service. COL Doyon will be joining the Combat Operations Office as a COOA to work with AD Prower and COL Silvius to help manage the constant stream of screenshots that the TIE Corps creates in addition to running our many multiplayer competitions. For the Commodore positions, I was surprised by how many officers that had served as admirals previously wanted to step back into admiralty roles to mentor the CMDRs and chart new courses for our two battlegroups. That's not to say that we didn't have any officers apply who don't have quite as much history behind them, since we did. Some of them might be destined to take on these COM roles in the future, so we'll be working on building them up so that they'll be ready when that time comes to pass. We've selected HA Elwood the Brave as Commodore of the ISDII Hammer, as AD Prower recently announced. Woody last served as HamCOM back in 2014 and early 2015 on his way to SOO and TCCOM after that. Saying that he knows how the TIE Corps works would be greatly understating his experience, which makes him a great officer to have in a Commodore role. Taking the helm of the ISDII Warrior's battlegroup will be FA Silvius, who recently completed an extraordinary three year tour as COO and will now be putting his extensive experience to work as WarCOM. Unlike Woody, Silvius hasn't been a COM before so he'll be getting to see a new aspect of our day-to-day operations. With those positions now staffed, our attention can return to the positions of WARD, EDR, and now Epsilon CMDR. If you'd like to apply for any of those positions, email me, VA Clark, and AD Prower. Please add HA Elwood the Brave if you're applying for Epsilon CMDR. About the TIE Corps Admiralty Board: It's not presented this way in the database yet, but the TCAB is officially composed of all the admirals in the TIE Corps. Currently, that's the TCCOM, SOO, COO, HamCOM, and WarCOM. If we find ourselves in need of a third COM to lead a third battlegroup, they'll be a member of the TCAB as well. As much as possible, I'll be consulting the full TCAB on how to direct and support the growth of the TIE Corps. For the really high-level decisions, the TIE Corps Command Staff (TCCS) will be making those calls. The TCCOM, SOO, and COO are the three members of the TCCS. Congratulations and good luck on your new assignments, gentlemen!

Recently, GN Elwood the Brave resigned from the position of COOA after having processed thousands of screenshots over about a year and a half. It's a tedious, tiring, repetitive, sometimes mind-numbing process that often goes unrecognized for long periods of time, but it's a critical task that can't be automated in a foolproof way and so a few of us are stuck doing it by hand in order to make sure that everyone gets credit for all the MP missions they've flown. For his selfless service to the TIE Corps over such a long period of time, I've awarded Woody the Grand Order of the Emperor. This is his second GOE, something only a handful of officers have achieved during their careers. Congratulations, General!

MAJ Alejandro Araujo, CMDR of Alpha Squadron, has been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel based on his COM's recommendation: "Alejandro Araujo has shown exemplary performance over the last few months. He has shown consistent performance that netted him three Imperial Security Medals, a Palpatine Crescent and now a Silver Star in his term as a Major. I believe it is befitting to advance him to the next rank of Lieutenant Colonel with the consideration of the Admiralty Board." Congratulations, LC Araujo!

		Congratulations to LT Genie on his promotion to Lieutenant Commander!
		Congratulations to LT Firebreaker Terrik on his promotion to Lieutenant Commander!

He updated his INPR, joined the conversation on Discord and Telegram, uploaded a uniform, participated in the Trivia Grand Tour, and passed his first IU course. For this level of activity, I recommend a promotion." Congratulations, LT D'Arc!

Compared to Battlefront II (2005), Elite Dangerous probably isn’t as well-known here in the TIE Corps. Also, its primary gameplay isn’t match-based like we have in our other games so we’d have to think of the right way to track and reward activity in a game like this. But before we dig too far into that, I wanted to get a sense of what you’re thinking now with a quick poll.

Over on https://tc.emperorshammer.org/timetest.php?testid=703745, I’m asking the same questions I’m asking about Classic Battlefront II. If you don’t already own or if you haven’t spent much time in Elite Dangerous, you might want to spend some time on YouTube checking it out to get a sense of what it’s about before you answer the poll questions.

Also, nobody’s making any commitments at this point, it’s not like a majority voting Yes will make Elite Dangerous a supported game overnight. There’s a lot to consider and we’ll take our time on that.

Thanks in advance for all of your feedback!

After some reworking of the database’s Timed Event function by our FSE, GN Dempsey (thanks!), I have what I need to do some polling in way that sends your comments directly to me. Sure, email works for that too, but doing it this way gives it some structure and makes it easier for me to sift through all the information I’ll be getting back.

Up first is Classic Battlefront II. We’ve extended support to both of the newest entries in the Battlefront franchise, but there’s still a lot of love for and activity in the original Battlefront II. Definitely could work as an official game for the TIE Corps, but should we add it to our list? Let me know on the official poll at https://tc.emperorshammer.org/timetest.php?testid=520637. I’ll share the results with rest of the TCCS and we’ll decide whether we want to make a change or keep things as they are.

The poll is open now and will close at midnight GMT on the 4th, which happens to be Star Wars Day.

Thanks in advance for all of your feedback!
