SIN CMDR: CPT Hav Antiel REPORT DATE: 10 September 2017 |

I've been flying TIE Fighter since I received the amazing X-Wing Collector Series in the late 1990s. However, I'm a relative newbie when it comes to the TIE Corps, and I have a lot of big questions about the history of the TC. You may have noticed that I'm trying to learn more about the early days of Sin Squadron (among other things). This week, I found the answer to one of my big questions: Q: How did Sin Squadron earn its name, and why is it the only active squadron not named after a Greek letter? A: Although I still don't know the name's true origin, I did find something that helps explain why Sin was chosen as one of the squadrons when the Warrior was activated in 2014. The Warrior had three active squadrons when it was activated (Kappa, Sigma, and Theta), and it looks as though the COM (HA Frodo March) wanted to open a fourth squadron as soon as he found a willing commander. Reading through HA Frodo March's initial Warrior report, I found this interesting quote: 'I chose Sin because the word play possibilities are just endless. Should be a good time.' So that's it! HA Frodo chose Sin over the other existing Wing II squadrons, Rho and Psi. Why? For the wordplay. Seems I'm slacking in that regard, Sinners.While we're on the subject, here's a humorous short fiction from one of HA Frodo March's first reports from the Warrior: From the Bridge of the Warrior In the meantime, I'll keep digging and asking. |

I'd like to take a moment to ask you to consider participating in Warrior Trivia. Warrior Trivia is fun, and it counts for squadron activity. The questions aren't too challenging or too easy, and you earn a point for getting all five correct even if you're not the fastest. I know some Sinners are unable to fly at the moment, and I recommend Warrior Trivia as a way to stay in touch and active. It's quick, it's easy, and it's fun!
