:: [ Training Office News ] ::

The "IRC Colloquia" project that was temporarily placed into stasis several months ago has been revived. This is a project that aims to present succint and informative 'articles' on topics relevant to real-life to members of the Emperor's Hammer. The preliminary calender is as such:

  • Democracy; A Historians Viewpoint.
    Saturday 1st November
    Admiral Keldorn Cochrane (to@emperorshammer.org)
  • The Peninsular Campaign
    Saturday 8th November
    Admiral Keldorn Cochrane (to@emperorshammer.org)
  • Accessibility; A Change in Websites
    Saturday 15th November
    Admiral Keldorn Cochrane (to@emperorshammer.org)

There are at-least two more colloquia planned. The date and time of all shall be announced as soon as they are finalised. Anyone interested in presenting one of these events should contact me at to@emperorshammer.org. Members who do so shall be rewarded.

I am beginning another project (the name of which has yet to be finalised; feel free to send me ideas for snazzy sounding titles) that will study the feasibility of integrating a central Academic backbone to the Emperor's Hammer. This would entail creating an interactive database that every individual member of the EH would have a profile upon, to which all the courses &c. that they have completed would recorded (presumably calling from XML backends or some such other feature of SG rosters). More on this as it develops.

I have begun talking with the Internet Office about developing the Academic NeXus website to be more dynamic and slightly more interesting. Again, more on this as it develops.

My commendations go out to all Professors, who have been grading all their Courses within 24 hours of receiving a submission. Sterling work.

General Drake has been continuing with Project Guardian. Any budding authors or graphic artists should contact him if interested in a rewarding challenge.

'Number One' has been away for the last few weeks, as such some minor corrections to the website have been delayed. He returns today, as such I expect they shall be updated within the next 72 hours. These include minor adjustments to the menu system of the Academic NeXus.

:: [ TIE Corps News ] ::

Myself and the Flight Officer have been attempting to work with the Executive Officer in modfying the original training changes that were to be implemented under HA Patal to meet with the XO's approval. I am sure the Flight Officer will post an announcement whenever this is achieved.

:: [ Dark Brotherhood News ] ::

The Shadow Academy website has been updated to reflect the various Staff changes we have undergone of late.

I have added the Shadow Academy courses completed by numerous members to their profile; this appears to be progressing without problems. Thus, if you would like a Course listed on your profile from before the split, send me an e-mail with the subject 'SA Profile' to hm@darkbrotherhood.org. Please note that this only includes SA courses, and not general IWATS courses (at this time).

Applicants: There is a manual system in place for the processing of new members. Until otherwise notified, all applicants may submit both their Phase I and Phase II Apprentice Studies at their leisure, there is no need to await any confirmation other than the general ‘Welcome to the Dark Brotherhood’ e-mail (this e-mail explains the Apprentice Studies and provides the appropriate links). Questions should be addressed to me at hm@darkbrotherhood.org.

:: [ Imperial Senate News ] ::

Vice Minister Verr has been busy with real-life lately, as such the coding of the University site has not progressed since last reported.

The Imperial University, while a constituent of the Imperial Senate, the courses it offers will be available to all members of the Emperor's Hammer (akin to the Intelligence Division's Academy of Tactics). Therefore, I am calling upon any members of the EH that may be interested in developing a Course for the University to contact me at to@emperorshammer.org. Individuals should keep in mind that all courses offered by the University are of a higher standard and depth as to other Emperor's Hammer pedagogical institutions. Suffice to say, awards and recognition will be proportional to this (i.e. large awards, lots of kudos).

The Courses currently under development are:

  • Modern Imperial History.
  • Astrophysics.
