The following officers have been awarded for their service over 2002.

Thanks to my CA, AD Darkhill, I've been able to release two new patches for X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter: the TIE Vanguard and the B-Wing. Both come with additional Flight group colours for the EH, ASF and respectively the DB for the TIE Vanguard and the IW for the B-Wing. The T/D and MIS patches have also been updated lately and now work together with eachother and the B-W and T/V. Give them all a run once :)

The database has been updated to correctly reflect the new LoC system. In addition, the code now also correct calculates the number of addons you have, as opposed to just listing the highest one and your total of victories after it. A similar update has been applied to the display of DFCs too.

From everyone in the Flight Office to all the TIE Corps: Merry Christmas and may the coming New Year bring you all you hope for and more!

Many congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel PhoenixMan who has been promoted to the position of Wing XX WC. And my apologies to him for the delay on this :)

Some updates have been applied to the TIE Corps site.

• The news archives page now works
• Competitions listed on the news page are now up to date
• The competitions center has been expanded to allow listing of each type, as well as the top 10 approved competition submitters
• Approved competitions are now listed on your profile, if you have any

I wish all EH Members merry X-Mas! Also please do not forget to look into this.

After long negotiations, we will have a Christmas Comp taking part from 24th from 2:00 pm - 26th 2:00 pm on the Zone. The Comp is BSC Hostes and standard WoW Rules apply. We will fly against the TRA, a Club which is very MP active. So climb in your cockpits and fly. LoC's and DFC is awarded on 27th. If you got any questions mail me here. Also click review the XWA War and the XvT War of the Comp. The Comp Calendar has been updated too!

The Commodore of the ISD Relentless, Rear Admiral Theodore, has tendered his resignation. For the time being, applications for a replacement COM are NOT being accepted.

Many thanks for Theo for all the dedication and hard work he put into the Rel, he'll be sorely missed.

Just recently, I found out that an error in the competitions system resulted in competitions being submitted, but these submissions not appearing in the admin or competition center sections of the site. This error has been fixed and as of this posting, all competitions have been processed.

The newest version of the Fleet Order of Battle, with all the Capital Ships and Units of the Fleet as recognized by the Fleet Commander, has been released and uploaded to the SCO site at http://www.minos.net/~sco/fleet-manual/app-orderofbattle.html.

The OoB is available in full graphics, text only and as (zipped) off-line viewable versions.

Many congrats go out to Rear Admiral Chamberlain who has been promoted to the position of Commodore of the ISD Subjugator!

Congratulations to Captain Hunter who has been selected as the new Praetorian Squadron Commander.

If you got a Problem with ORW2 (like you feel that somebody cheated, etc.), please Mail us to orwcomplaints@wingxi.net . DO NOT eMail me direct or one of my COOA's. We will gather all complaints in this Inbox, and deal with them, and forward them to the RS and the ORW Council.

I am sorry for the BIG delay of LoC's and DFC's however, I was in Munich, Germany due of Business reasons. Now I am back and all medals have been awarded. Report will be out ASAP!

As emailed from the Operations Officer...

January 7th is the EH Anniversary (8 years, hooya!) so that means, Awards! The Commendation of Loyalty is awarded all members of the Emperor's Hammer by the Fleet Commander or Executive Officer who have displayed tremendous dedication to the Fleet.

Each squadron commander can send any number of recommendations for awards to their respective Wing Commander. The Wing Commander chooses three (3) awards. Then these recommendations are forwarded up the chain of command to the respective Commodores and Battlegroup Commanders, making any possible corrections. Then the Battlegroup Commander collects the recommendations for his Battlegroup, and emails them to the Operations Officer, CC'ing the Flight Officer. Also, each Battlegroup Commander has the discretion to award a maximum of three (3) awards to his Flag Officers.

For Elite Squadrons (Avenger, Praetorian, Tau, and Omega), the commander can recommend up to one (1) award to their Battlegroup Commander (Omega - SovCOM, Avenger - ASF BGCOM), in the case of Praetorian and Tau Squadron, the CMDR will directly email the Operations Officer, also CC'ing the Flight Officer.

The mailer should be working now. In addition, the backlog of PROF-less course tests have been marked.

The ISD Immortal's COM Escort award for the month of December goes to Phantom Squadron. By pulling together and working as a team on the recent Immortal Tactical Scenario, they have earned this award. Congratulations!

It seems the database mailer is down again. This means that NO confirmation emails are being sent out for BSFs, Medal Awards, Promotions etc. If you're awaiting an update, then please check the rosters before you bug the TAC, OPS or me. The problem should hopefully be resolved in the next couple of days.

Congratulations to the former CA:TAC, Admiral Marcin Szydlowski, who was today confirmed as the new EH Tactical Officer.
