Congratulations to COL Callista and Typhoon for showing the rest of Wing X
why they are a power to be reckoned with. It will be a
three-three-three-way
fight to determine which squadron has the right to be the best here as
"BGCOM
Honor Escort Squadron"

The participating squadrons for each ship are:
Wing IX, ISD Relentless: Hammer Squadron
Wing X, ISD Challenge: Typhoon Squadron
Wing IX, ISD Immortal: Ranger Squadron

The mission and deadline will be decided by BGCOM Jarak Maldon shortly, but
in the meantime be sure to congratulate the three finalist squadrons!

COL Darklord is on leave until Monday 29th January, while COL Manitsas

Sovereign Squadron League 2000 Semifinals

The other day upon the stair
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish that man would go away!

Wolly has fallen asleep at the wheel of the SSL 2000. He promised us a
mission two weeks ago, and true to form, he has flaked. I find this very
puzzling, because of the four non-Wing X squadrons in the final eight, most
are excellent squadrons with a very good chance of advancing to the
finals.
Is Wolly too embarrassed to finish the SSL because he is afraid to have the
Challenge beat a Sovereign Squadron again?

Supreme Squadron Series

Ace Pilot seems to have given up on this with Inferno in the lead. I am
very
happy to accept the title on behalf of my squadron, if only he would
officially call the competition.

Wing X Squadron Uniform Patches

Over a year ago, Typhoon was the only wing X squadron to have their patch
listed at the Operations Office. I copied the general layout to create an
Inferno patch, and then used it again to create the official Cyclone
patch.
Now I have created new patches for both Thunder and Tempest which follow
the
pattern of the other squadron patches. Only Tornado (which has a cool
patch
to begin with) was left alone, except for the creation of a female uniform
optimized patch. Now I submit to you all a complete collection of patches
for all Wing X Squadrons, for both genders. All are official except for
Thunder and Tempest. We only await the approval of the Squadron
Commanders.

Miscellaneous

CMDR/COL Mell of Cyclone has had to go on leave due to personal problems.
Hopefully he'll be back soon, but until further notice LCM Kyle Katarn
