TC/ID/Prae News:
We have a new intro splash page for the Praetorian website now, I sat down and created a new one since I never really liked AD Turtle's. Thanks to GN Mandalore of the ID for hosting (uploading) all new changes to our website. Also, I wish to thank AD TK-2107 for all his help over the last ten months with bsf's & the occasional mse or general medal recommendation- you've been a great help to me TK!

Also, RA Winters was nice enough to provide us with webspace via the ID, while GN Mandalore is handling any updates for our new site. Thanks to you both.

XvT-TC112 (features Prae & the ID), TIE-TC223, FTIE252, FTIE253, FTIE254, FXvT184, and FXvT185 were all released recently by the Tactical Officer, AD Frodo March (or as I call him Fro-man);p. Good work on XvT-TC112 especialy Frodo, well you used a Dread for the Lichtor, but the patch for the Lichtor can be a pain at times;p. If you want to fly your TIE Praetor in a XvT battle I highly reccomend XvT-TC112 (both MAJ Drak & I have flown it).

FXvT185 was created by our own LC Ric Taldrya for last weeks Tactical Offfice: Iron Mission Creator Competition. While Ric didn't win that round of the competition the mission still is well made & fun to fly. I liked it anyway (and you get to fly as the Avenger CMDR).

Additionally, a new Operations Officer (OPS) & Logistics Officer (LO) are now in place.



Flight Deck:
in TIE-ID2 mission 4 the friedly capital ship Ardent is not in the mission at all on easy making it incompletable; however, on medium the Ardent is present- no clue whats up here;p.
mission four of XWA-TC46 (on medium) is incompletable (easy works just fine though).
keep posting the bugs! (I do report this to AD Frodo March & VA Master so they're aware of any problems with battles or free missions).

Prae Orders:
-participate in the April competitions
-post on the Prae (and other) MB- the person who posts the most or is most influential in promoting discussion will earn the Prae Medal of Communication (MoC) for the month!
-Monthly flying requirements are in place: It's a mandatory requirement to fly at least one battle or four free missions a month, I will allow you to fly MP matches in place of the missions if you wish (I'm easy to work with usually);p.
-Recruit, our numbers are fairly steady: however, if you know of any exemplary pilots who meet our requirements feel free to let me know about them. Remember our requirements for being accepted to take the Prae trials are the rank of LCM with 400 FCHG; however, for a full status Prae it's still CM with at least 500 FCHG.
http://praetorian.rawx.net/join.php (the only exception to this rule I'm allowing is former Prae's who served more than three months; however, they must still have the min required FCHG of 500). We are an elite squadron after all.
-work on improving your own personal FCHG levels- remember we do have a few squadron specific rewards related to this! ;p.

For every 10 squadron citations you earn for Prae I will recommend you for a Imperial Security Medal (ISM).
