I finally managed to wrestle the server key codes from Dempsey and, after a much needed trip to the infirmary, have given the TAC Site a minor facelift.

The site before was a bright, glaring white and only filled a third of the screen on any high resolution monitor. Now, I've brought the site more in line with the EH color scheme and allowed the site to expand to fit the screen it's displayed on. Of course there are a few tables tucked away on some pages that don't take advantage of this, but those will be fixed soon.

Enjoy the new, low eye-stress, full-screen version of the TAC Site.

Two weeks ago, one of our reporters was granted permission to spend a day aboard the ISD Hammer as a member of its crew. This unique insight into the day-to-day operation of one of the TIE Corps' mightiest warships has now been made available to the public. It can be yours for only 99 Imperial Credits!

After the dismissal of their claims and the death of several hundred Ewoks yesterday, the remaining Ewok delegation has sworn revenge.

Imperial Command alerts all loyal citizens to be on the lookout for insurgent forces and Ewok sympathizers.

Anonymous tips can be left on the HCI comm channel, after which a quick investigation will be held to ascertain the danger involved.

All loyal citizens are urged to avoid busy places at all times.

This morning several units of HF stormtroopers wre dispatched to the location where the HCI is keeping the Ewok witnesses while they await their chance to be heard in their case against the EH for genocide.

The HCI anticipated trouble, which turned out to be all too true: as soon as they announced their decision to deny the Ewoks their claim, riots broke out in the compounds.

Stormtroopers swiftly ended these riots and the few surviving Ewoks were removed from the surface of the planet. Where they are headed now is not known, but a starfighter squadron is escorting them to the borders of EH space.

According to the official ruling of the HCI, the EH cannot be held accountable for actions taken by Imperial or Rebel forces during the Battle of Endor.

Their decision is final and cannot be appealed.

After evaluation of Battle front 3 by EH members with early access on the game, there is a flight only mode implemented in Battle Front 3. This game mode, and only this game mode, is now an aproved TC game for activity.

There will be an evaluation time until the end of the year. During this evaluation time you can submit your victory screens through the TC databse as MP victories for LoC. The COO will come up with rules regarding the minimum requirements for an LoC during this evaluation time. Expect an E-Mail from the COO within the next days about the requirements and the way to submit those screenshots. Until than safe your victory screens.

After the evaluation time I will decide if the flight mode of BF3 will be permanently added to the TC approved games or not. All LoCs earned during the evaluation time will be permanent though, no matter the decission about the game itself.

As the title says, the TC Admiralty has stated today ina press release that effective yesterday, the ISDs Hammer and Warrior have returned from their last assignments and will be taking on their regular patrols in EH space again.

There is still little to no information as to what they have been doing for the past 8 weeks, but that information should soon be declassified.

As always, we will be the first to inform you of such things!

It is a pleasure vor me to announce the award of 2 Silver Stars of the Empire. For their extreme high MP activies in october LT SuSaWo and LT Silvius were decorated with this high merit medal. Congratulations Lieutenants!

The Medals of Communication for October were awarded. Congratulations to all recipients.

Today a large passenger liner stuffed with over a thousand Ewoks reached the borders of EH space, where they were stopped by Imperial customs officers. The Ewoks claim to have travelled here because they are witnesses in the massacre during the Battle of Endor, and they wish to testify in the case before the HCI.

Imperial Customs has diverted the Ewok ship to the Pyrath Naval Base, where the Ewoks will be detained until the legitimacy of their claim can be verified. A spokesperson said it would be madness to let this many Ewoks lookse in Imperial space, and the high probability terrorists being among the Ewoks. Although several legal experts say these actions cannot stand in a court of law, the Imperial Customs Division woulod not change their mind in this matter.

Today our TIE Corps Commander Fleet Admiral Elwood the Brave was awarded with the Gold Star of the Empire for his overwhelming activities during the last 3 months and his exemplary leadership. Congratulations Woody!

The HCI - still burdened with the case against the Empire for the massacre of Ewoks on the forest moon of Endor - has ordered the EH Intel Division to cease its investigation of irregularities aboar the VSD Aggressor, and focus on the more important matters.

"There is no probable cause in the case of the COO flagship, which means we cannot justify spending more Imperial credits and time on a hopeless investigation based on nothing but unsubstantiated rumors," a HCI spokesperson told our press officers.

Investigators of this News outlet will however resume their search for the source of these rumors!

Today Lieutenant-Colonel Wraith was awarded with the Silver Star of the Empire for his overwhelming activity during october and his exemplary leadership as CMDR of Sin Squadron. Congratulations!

The Tactical Office has assembled the following simulation battles to archive their respective conflicts. All pilots are urged to fly these simulations immediately.

• XW-IW 13 "Mereen Insurgency - The Saga Continues" details the end of the conflict with the territory hungry Mereen.


• XWA-FREE 157 "Dempsey: The End of an Era", which has a competition attached to it, catalogs the events of the ambush during the TAC personnel change. This simulation is mandatory for all pilots seeking light-shielded escort certification.

Also, repairs have been preformed to TIE-FREE 209 "Historic Mission #1367" making it's previous high score invalid. A competition to set a new high score has been set for those of you wishing to improve your FCHG ratings.

Many things have happened these past few days, and yet we can only report on one at a time. Where to begin!

Our Editor-in-Chief is on the trail of some mischievous elements in the ranks of our suppliers. He has found solid evidence that illegal materials were brought aboard the VSD Aggressor, but has also found evidence that no member of its crew is involved. Who is doing this, what they are bringing aboard, and why, though, still remains a mystery.

The EH Intel Division is also looking into the matter to ascertain whether or not these actions pose a direct threat to the Aggressor and/or its crew.

LT Silvius, the new COOA, is overseeing the investigation aboard the Aggressor itself.

I would like to begin by giving my thanks to MAJ Drachen, CM Lanil Jast, LCM Sparky and LT Silvius for their excellent applications to the post of COOA. I have personally commended each of them to their squadron commanders and Wing Commanders. Each of them gave some excellent suggestions for developments to the Office of the COO, and made the final choice immensely difficult. I can honestly say that each one at some point were looking like a front runner.


However, I am pleased to announce that, in the end, LT Silvius was the successful candidate. Despite his short time as a member of the TC, Silvius has impressed the entire admiralty with his high level of deication to the TC and truely exceptional level of Multiplayer Activity. Through LT Silvius, the Office of the COO can lead by example in Star Conflict. Besides - getting him to process many, many LoC and LoS submissions will be sweet revenge for the over 400 submissions LT Silvius has sent me in October alone. Congratulations LT, I look forward to working with you!


I must also make a final note of thanks to COL Crsepe for your work and support during your time as COO, and this last month as COOA. I wish you all the best in Kappa Squadron (HYPE! Sorry... old habits!).
