Pilot's Lounge
"Sir, they are launching fighters!"
"Scramble all active Squadrons to counter!"
The all too familiar "Red Alert" alarm sounded throughout the Grey Wolf.
First to the hangar bay were the pilots of Phoenix Squadron.
"This is Phoenix 1-1, heading for attack run."
"Copy, this is Phoenix 2-1, standing ready."
"Phoenix 3-1 here... They're coming in fast!"
The enemy Squadron and Phoenix grew steadily nearer to each other.
Suddenly, Phoenix 1-1 pulled away.
"What's wrong, Phoenix 1-1?"
"Sorry, invitation to an Elite Squadron!"
"Very well, you're in command now... Captain Choosh."
Another batch of fighters quickly got into the battle.
"Mesa take down enemy fighters!" one pilot reported.
Sure enough, Hev distracted the enemy fighters with his conspicous Gungan tongue.
This allowed enough time for missile locks.
"Missiles away!"
Moments later, it was all over.
"Hah hah, we did it!"
Letters from the Cardinal...
The biggest news this week is the intended release of the latest Massive Online License To Print Money (MOLTPM).
The name is "Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided", and it features a large world based around the Star Wars universe.
Players choose professions, such as lightsaber catching (perhaps that one didn't make the final cut), and interact with other characters.
The success of this world, and others like it can really be summarized in two words, "monthly fees".
For further information, please see the latest domain update.
