Imperial Survey Corps Operations Manual
Drafted by Vice Admiral Draye C. Maaric, edited by Admiral Slage. (Last Updated 08.22.00)

1. Mission Statement of the Corps

The mission of the Imperial Survey Corps is to assist the Reconnaissance Office in its effort to expand the influence of the Emperor's Hammer to the farthest reaches of the Galaxy. ISC operatives are deployed at the behest of the Reconnaissance Office to explore new territories such as webpages, message boards, news forums, and other Star Wars related resources to determine whether the Emperor’s Hammer can introduce itself there. This information would then be reported to the Reconnaissance Office for analysis. In short, the ISC acts as the ambassadors for the Emperor's Hammer.

4. Divisions

Upon the institution of the Imperial Survey Corps, there will be two divisions which members can participate in: the Delegation and the Prospectus.

The Delegation
This division of the Imperial Survey Corps will be charged with locating, researching, and contacting other gaming organizations. Their goals are:

- To establish a lasting contact with said organization.
- To ensure that a link to the Emperor’s Hammer domain is posted in a place of prominence if aforesaid contact is successful.
- To report such contacts to the ISCC for further analysis.
- To expand tremendously as the Imperial Survey Corps develops.

The Prospectus
The mission of this division within the ISC will be much more challenging, yet more rewarding than the Delegation. The Prospectus is expected to do the following:

- Locate possible conduits for Emperor’s Hammer news and material
- Attempt to establish these conduits as permanent, so that the Emperor’s Hammer will have assured access to them
- Stay in contact with said conduits, so to ensure a profitable gain to EH publicity.

The manual will be updated from time to time, so do not rely on this one for too long of a while. Updates can be gotten from the Reconnaissance Office webpage.

Office Activities

- Well, the only RO project which I have created AND that I have solely worked on, Project Horizon, which was been delayed until future usage, but now has been re-activated. Now that I have some more time to work on EH matters, I'm doing a lot of work on Project Horizon, which was originally created for the purposes of not only expanding the Emperor's Hammer's realm of publicity, but eliminating any unuseful or unwanted assistance in the matter, such as sites which are linked on EH.org, but are in fact NOT including EH.org in their list of links.

As of now, Project Horizon is at exactly 33% completion, where I have done 28/85 sites on the EH.org links page. More detailed updates will be given in the future.

- Once more, here is the NEW mssion statement of the RO, re-written by the current Reconnaissance Office staff:

The Reconnaissance Officer is responsible for handling any sort of publicity affairs for the Emperor's Hammer, and does so while cruising Cyberspace in his modified Corvette, Doomsday. Using a variety of sources including web sites, radio, and the news media, he attempts to open channels of communication with the general public to recruit more members for the EH, thus searching for new avenues of expansion for the Fleet.

Non-EH Site of the Week

http://www.allscifi.com

An interesting site for many different genres of Sci-Fi entertainment (Including Star Wars). (BTW, this one was also last weeks, but since GA Ronin can have only one up at a time on EH.org, I'll just leave this one.)

Comments

None, just GLAD that Project Horizon's back on track.
