COLOSSUS BULLETIN
W/C 18th August 2003

SHIP STATUS ( YELLOW ALERT )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I seem to be making a habit of apologising for the lack/lateness of reports lately, but with the summer drawing to a close I should be able to return to the normal routine.

Recent events:

The Colossus had been on route from the Karana System to Aurora Prime with a cargo of diplomats.....

Our journey was completed on time, and Karana's Diplomatic party left word with the Imperial Senate of our good work. However, our job is never finished.

Our latest orders are to head for the Setii system at maximum speed. A breakout by inmates on the Imperial Penal Colony on Ghenna is currently underway. The Prison is under the control of the inmates and the surviving guards are being held as hostages. Ghenna is similar to Hoth in climate so the only hope for the inmates is to be transported off-world, the Colossus will act as the barrier preventing this.

COMPETITIONS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Top Gun:
TIE-FREE #230 Deadline August 31st


Enemies of the Colossus:
Since no one submitted last month this can remain as the topic for August.
-A while ago the Training office ran a comp to create enemies of the EH, well this is almost the same. There are two sections; Fiction and Graphics.
You MUST submit to both, but you don't have to try to win both. For example, if you prefer graphics then make a good graphic of the enemy and a very basic profile (name, age etc), if you prefer fiction then you can draw a stick man and write a long history of why they're our enemy.
The winners of each section will receive the Services to Art/Literature awards and the accompanying medals. DEADLINE August 31st.
