- TIE Corps Banner Design Competition

As many of you may have noticed, the TIE Corps' current front page banner, found here, shows the wrong page address. To correct this I've decided to hold a small competition to design a new banner, with the correct URL. This competition is open to all TC members, including Reservists. The size of the banner should be similar to the current one, but that's not particularly important. All submissions should be sent to spellfire@btinternet.com zipped and with the email subject "TC Banner".

You have until 26th January to get your submissions in. The designer of the selected banner will receive the Iron Star - Gold Ribbon, with further awards going to other submissions.

The rules on Command reports have been clarified, so now there's no excuse for not knowing. To summarise:

Squadron Commanders: Reports expected EVERY week.

Wing Commanders: Report expected EVERY week.

Commodores: Reports expected at least BI-WEEKLY.

Battlegroup Commanders: Reports expected EVERY week.

The only exceptions to this is with COM reports - BGCOMs may require their COMs to submit reports on a more regular basis.

Remember that reports should be sent to everyone directly under your authority and to everyone in the chain of command above you, including the Flight Office.

- Avenger Squadron

Congratulations to CMDR Dax Corrin and his Avenger pilots for reaching 300+ Squadron Citations. This is a first in the history of the Emperor's Hammer, and an outstanding achievement. Well done.

- Aggressor Strike Force Supremacy Competition

The ASF's major competition has begun in it's fifth incarnation. Details and current scores can be found at http://www.minos.net/~autoris/

- Wing XI Victorious

Congratulations to the pilots and Flag Staff of Wing XI on the ISD Immortal for their recent victory over Wing III on the Sovereign in their XWA SP competition. For the next month Wing III will have to bear the nickname and motto of XI's choice.

- IRC

Over the past week, myself and the Security Officer have been sent several logs in which people have been acting less than courteously towards other members...in some cases blatantly ignoring the Codes of Conduct (http://www.emperorshammer.org/irc.htm). In case you're not aware, ALL Emperor's Hammer channels fall under these rules...from #Tiecorps down to #ZetaSquadronFlight3BarRoom. These rules aren't there to stop you having fun, but they are there to make sure you don't behave in ways people find offensive.

Break these rules and you will be sent to the SO.

- Commendations of Loyalty

These were awarded a few days ago. Congratulations to everyone who received a CoL.

Respectfully,

Fleet Admiral Priyum
Flight Officer & TIE Corps Commander
