- Admiral Slade has been appointed as the new Chief Game Master of the Fringe sub group.

- Operation: Cantina Run III is in the final phase. We are flying FREE TIE Mission #150 until Saturday, March 31.
O:CRIII will continue with the flying phase, which will be the last and the one that will decide who our next flagship will be. This phase starts on March 22nd and lasts until March 31st. Each ship has chosen its own free mission, displayed below, that every member of the ship is expected to fly. All ship scores will be averaged and compared to the current high score (also listed below). Whoever is closest to the high score or surpasses the high score wins. Second closest is 2nd place, and 3rd closest is 3rd place. In the event more than one ship passes their missions high score, the ship that passed by more will be the winner. All scores are laserless.
