Congratulations to LT Aalee for earning a promotion very soon after being assigned!

We have another new pilot joining the ISDII Warrior, say hello to SL JackBaldy of Sin Squadron!

Our newest pilot was recruited by LC Miles Prower, who earned his very first Medal of Instruction. Well done!

Joining our ranks today is SL Aalee! Aalee has been assigned to Sigma Squadron aboard the ISDII Warrior.

SL Aalee was recruited by MAJ Len Eode, who received his second Medal of Instruction for his efforts. Great job!

Earlier this month, three pilots aboard the ISDII Warrior were granted well-deserved promotions:

• LC Wraith from Sin Squadron was promoted to the rank of Colonel!
• CM Spiffy the Chicken was promoted to the rank of Captain!
• LCM Sparky was promoted to the rank of Commander!

Congratulations, gents!

Remember folks - the first 3 ppl to send a screenshot showing they have manufactured their Destroyer will win medals!

Seven years ago, our then-SCO, FA Ender mBind submitted a two part battle simulation to the Tactical Office recording the same events as XW-CD 1 and XvT-CD 1 for the TIE platform. Unfortunately, one of the mission files was severely corrupted and until recently, no one could read its contents. Most of the corrupted mission could be read by only one obscure mission editor (TIE Campaign Studio), but some parts were completely lost and had to be recreated entirely. After many tireless hours spent transcribing ships, orders, and text; the Tactical Office is pleased to announce that, on the seventh anniversary of its submission, the TIE-CD "CDNG: Paper Round" series is ready for pilots to fly.

• TIE-CD 1 "CDNG: Paper Round" tells of the troubles encountered by the Corporate Division News Group in what should have been a simple restocking mission.


• TIE-CD 2 "CDNG: Paper Round II" continues the record with details of Rebel interference in the distribution of the CDNG's newspapers.

To make this even more memorable, the server had to be updated to accommodate the new battle type!

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

His recuitment efforts are outstanding as well his pioneer work for Battle Front 3. Many ideas and contibutions in different areas rounds this whole work.

	For the excellent work in their leadership positions Rear Admiral Hawkins, High Admiral Anahorn Dempsey and Vice Admiral Plif were awarded with the Gold Star of the Empire! Very well deserved awards. Congratulations and keep your constant efforts to make our community great!

After a Tour of duty of nearly 6 years as Epsilon CMDR General Dunta Polo decided it was time to step down and let someone else take the helm of Epsilon.

He switches positions with the Flight Leader of Epsilon Flight 3, Lieutenant Commander Hav Antiel, who was promoted to Commander due to his assignment as new Epsilon CMDR.

As he is too busy with leading the Hammer's Fist Subgroup as Prefect, Commander Archenksov also decided to step down as CMDR and take the position of Alpha Flight 3's Flight Leader. His successor as Alpha CMDR is Lieutenant Commander Silvius who also got promoted to Commander with his assignment as CMDR.

Thanks to both retiring CMDRs for their service. It's been a pleasure and an honor to have you at the helm of your squadrons.

I am sure we will see great things from the two new assigned squadron CMDRs.

It is my pleasure to announce that Admiral Pellaeon has been rewarded with the Silver Star of the Empire for his impressive activity and his work as SOO during the month of December. A well deserved reward!

Good news from the Office of the COO!

HA Dempsey has once again stepped up, and helped make MP submission that much easier!

"As of now, players reporting for SC, GSF, BF3 matches (pvp and pve) will only need to enter their name (which should be auto-selected on the form).

If they played with another TC pilot, they'll have to select that pilot's name. Entering of opposing team and all kill counts are optional. You can, but if you enter nothing the form will still accept it.

This also won't be affecting the python scripts in use by several of us."

Happy gaming!

Happy new Year folks - and may 2016 be profitable for all!
