The Unit Rewards have already been announced, but furthermore did we reward the participants from Praetorian Squadron with a Palpatine Crescent each for winning overall! Excellent work!

ALL fiction will be submitted to the Newsletter so you can all read them as well. The medals have all been requested, those marked with DB ranks will receive them in the DB.

Overall participation surpriced me pleasantly, I'll make an effort to run another similar competition in another few months - I hope that everyone who participated enjoyed themselves. :)

Republic Commando demo is out
20:23 - SA Astatine
As reported in the RO's report, there's a demo of Republic Commando out on the 3D Gamer's site. If you insist on getting it from there, I recommend trying the Bit Torrent download as I got fairly good speeds off it. Alternatively, you can get it directly off the TC server here. The demo is 431 megs.
