....Gliding through the blackness of deep space, the Victory Star Destroyer Aggressor pointed its mighty arrowhead shape toward the dim star of its target system, three thousands of a light year away. And prepared itself for engagement.
"All fighters show battle ready, Major" The comm officer reported from the porside crew pit. "The Pilots are beginning to check in."
"Very good, Lieutenant," Major Sarin nodded. "Inform me when all have done so." "CM BlackHero?"
"Sir?" BlackHero said, searching his superiors face for any of the stress the Major must be feeling. This was not just another tactical exercise, afterall--but a straightforward analysis of Avengers operational status. If the Major was feeling any tension, he was keeping it well hidden."
"Begin the count down, Inform all flights to stand by"
CM BlackHero monitored the tactical holo display in the middle of the room. At the center of the display was the Aggressor, circling her in not-so-standard patrol patterns were The Avenger Tie Advanced Fighters, and rapidly approaching from the port side were two Squadrons of Xwings.
"Flights I and II engage, flight three remain on escort duty," Major Sarin ordered smoothly.
The X-Wings formed a neat wedge formation, intending to use their superior numbers to crush the smaller force of Tie Advanced Fighters. Today, however, the Xwing pilots were engaging The Aggressor Strike Force Elite, and they would not enjoy the show.
"Sir, Seven Xwings have been destroyed. Shall I order Flight III to engage?" BlackHero asked.
"Yes Commander, there is no reason for Flight I and II to enjoy all of the fun."
Within twenty minutes it was all over. Major Sarin looked across the tactical display to his acting XO CM BlackHero and spoke with icey confidence. "I believe we are ready for War."
That is right Gentlemen, We are ready for WAR. After Five weeks of training and building this squadron we are now ready to display our talents against an opponent. We will be conducting two operations within the near future. The first will be a head to head competition against Tartarus Squadron of the ISD Grey Wolf, and the second will be the ASF War Game currently being designed by Admiral Cyric. I will be sending out a complete detail of battle to each of you tonight.
Avenger Squadron has returned to its original Colors of BLUE and SILVER. Special thanks to Avenger's Former CMDR LC Death for creating our banner and reminding me of the Original Color Scheme of the Squadron.
CPT Pellaeon is currently having problems with his mIRC and computer but is still sending me Pilot files. Keep up the flying Captain! The WoW situation is currently being resolved. DA and KK are currently working on a system that will allow TC Pilots the ability to earn LoCs once again at WoW. Good work men!
From TC.org:
Skipping a mission is only tolerated in case of a fatal bug, which is extremely rare these days. If the procedure stated in the cheating policy is not followed, the BSF is simply canceled without any notification (because the database doesn't support it
yet). Actually, skipping a mission for any reason may be forbidden in a near future, if people keep ignoring the procedures. SA Kawolski (K) has resigned from the Tie Corps citing RL workload and other personal reasons. K has done a great service to the TC and will be truly missed! Prelude to Andevia competition has started. It is open to ALL members of the Emperor's Hammer, regardless of subgroup, rank or position. It features flying, design, fiction and other events. The competition website is available at From Admiral Cyric: I am currently working on a War Game involving the ASF. I've sent out information to all the Flag OFficers and Maj Sarin on this matter. It will more than likely encompass Four Days with three different times so that all members of the ASF can participate. It will only be a MP event, and take palce on Mirc. XWA Skirmishes will more than likely be used, but I will try to figure out a way to get XvT involved. Please try to see how many of your pilots have XwA and how many have XvT, or if they don't have either one, so I can make a determination on what platform to concentrate on. I will send more info out as i get it. It is time to start concentrating on the ASF MP role. WoW's are important for our image and that of the TC. I encourage all MP pilots to practive 2 v 2 flying. If you lose, so what, but by continual flying you will only get better.
This is an ORDER!!! All Pilots in Avenger will sign up for an account at the ASF Website. You will register and you will look at the ASF Site for Up to Date information. You can find the ASF Site located at:
9 Squadron Members (+0 We need 3 more!!!)
98 Citations (+9! Fly Battles that we do not have citations for!)
All Pilots are to look for possible members of this Squadron. I want to have this squadron at 10 Members or Full by the Time the next ASF Wide Competition begins. Send me the pin and a recommendation of any pilot you believe can be a member of Avenger. Everyone is to win 5 LoCs this upcoming week. SP Orders are below as well as individual orders. I want each of you to take special note of the battles assigned to you. I took the time to go through all Combat records and match them up with what citations we do not have. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FLY ALL OF THESE THIS WEEK, BUT YOU NEED TO FLY AT LEAST THREE!!! Orders below:
KK: Fly 3 Battles we do not have citations for
Pell: Win LoCs! If you cannot get online for MP events then fly 4 battles that we do not have citations for. Try flying either TIE, XVT or XWA because none of us fly Xwing but you!!!
CM BlackHero: Refly the lost BOP Battles that you sent me. Try flying the new FCHG XWA and XVT Battle
CM Brian: Fly three battles we do not have citations for
CPT Nightmare: Fly three battles we do not have citations for
MAJ Dax Corrin: You may fly whatever you please
CPT DA: Fly three battles we do not have citations for.

Major Dax Corrin is on Vacation!!! Hurry back old boy! I do not enjoy being the oldest member active in the Squadron!!!

I do not know about the rest of you, but I am tired of flying sp and practicing MP against each other! It is time to slaughter a few opponents. I believe the squadron is currently ready to compete. Everyone is to sign up and compete on the Prelude to Andevia competition!!!! We will finish 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. If we can finish top 9, I will get us all some sort of fancy medals!
I want to fill this squadron! Everyone is responsible for finding new pilots to fill our ranks. There has to be a few pilots out there!
Pilot of The Week: BlackHero. He had the largest gain in LoCs, a DFC and a large FCHG increase. So far this month BH has been Pilot of the month once and Nightmare has been pilot of the month!
TRIVIA COMPETITION: Each week you will be asked three trivia questions. Send me the answers as soon as possible. This weeks questions:
Q1. What does AT-PT stand for?
Q2. What is Grand Admiral Thrawns Full Name?
Q3. Name 3 types of imperial fighters that participated in the battle of endor
Our website is currently in limbo. I have received no answers from the people who are supposed to be creating it. More to come on that.
I will be sending out a private email to the squadron only concerning our competitions. Until then, you are all dismissed.
Questions, concerns, and comments are to be sent to me! AVENGER SQUADRON OF THE VSD AGGRESSOR : Special Operations FLIGHT I - TIE ADVANCED FLIGHT II - X-WING FLIGHT III - TIE ADVANCED Squadron Citations (98):
