{{SALUTE}}

Uther sat behind the desk, still not quite believing the honour he had received in being offered this wing, this ship. It had been a long road, but it was time to rebuild, to develop the skills that this unique ship could offer the fleet - to re-build the Empire.

Two main priorities: to find a replacement squadron commander for Green, and then to run regular battle drills for both squadrons to keep them on top form. Time to get to work, he thought.

NEWS 1. New Strategic Operations Officer: VA Viper Pred will serve as Deputy La'an
2. New Dean of IWATS: VA Astin will run the TIE Corps' training; COLs Master & Uther will act as DEAN-As
3. New Wing Commanders: with the abolition of the position of Commodore, each ship will have a Wing Commander as sole flag officer: GN Rancorous of Wing VI
COL Domi of Wing X
MAJ Miles Prower of Wing XIX
COL Uther of Wing XXI

SHIP-WIDE
Green CMDR is vacant: I have had one application so far; I'm keeping this open 'til next Wednesday to see whether there is further interest.

COMPETITIONS
EH: Dempsey's Music Video Mania: http://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=1 TC:
1. SP Ace of the TIE Corps, February 2009: http://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=2
2. MP Ace of the TIE Corps: http://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=3
Redemption: several pending: be prepared for my announcement of 'Battle Stations'

ACTIVITY Some communication from some pilots, via e-mail, IRC & message boards; I would like to hear from all the pilots on board by the end of next week.

I have sent the Imperial Academy site (from late 2006) to FA Dempsey, so I'm hopeful this should be able to be up & running soon.

FINAL THOUGHTS We have a chance for a new beginning: I know that I have some of the best, most experienced pilots in the fleet here. My challenges to you: let's make this ship great; and consider whether you can help me best by applying for the position of CMDR Green Squadron.

If you have any comments to make (constructive or other wise), I'll hear 'em: just let me know.

In service,

Sir Uther ap Custennin, Last Knight of the Renegade
