- Big news in the TIE Corps recently was the rare event of an ISD opening:
Over the past several months the SSD Avenger has grown dramatically, both in terms of size and activity. This is undoubtedly due to the hard work of not only the pilots onboard, but also the Officers. This success has allowed for a relatively rare event - the opening of a new ISD and Wing! Both myself, and Vice Admiral Firefox decided that the time was right to add this new Ship to the Fleet, so Wing XX and it's parent ship, the ISD Subjugator have been activated. The Subjugator, attached to the Avenger, is a Dark Brotherhood ship - which means that all pilots onboard are also members of the DB.
This opening also brings some changes with it:
Avenger Wings I and II have been renamed to Wings XVIII & XIX respectively.
Although the Subjugator will be an independent ship in terms of everyday function, the new COM will be subordinate to Vice Admiral Firefox in terms of seniority (and hence report to him with important decisions). The COM will also act as his XO and step in as and when needed.
It is important to note that these two ships do NOT form a Battlegroup.
Applications for the new Commodore are now being accepted. The requirements are as follows:
You must have been in the TIE Corps for at least ONE year.
No HCI convictions.
A working knowledge of all Fleet protocols and policies.
Command experience at Wing Commander level or above (the more the better).
Extensive use of IRC.
You must also be a member of the Dark Brotherhood.
All applications should be sent to Vice Admiral Firefox & Fleet Admiral Priyum and they should arrive within the week (THIS FRIDAY!). Once the new COM is in place, applications for Wing XX WC will be taken, but not until then.
In addition to this, I have awarded Vice Admiral Firefox with the Gold Star of the Empire for all the work he's done over the past several months, and the instrumental role he's played in the opening of the ISD Subjugator.
- The new Immortal COM was also appointed - congratulations to RA Dras Hempor, a veteran of the Wing.
- Imperial Storm II:
Good news:
The rules have been revised and finalised
The map for the wargame has also been finalised
I've received the first Fleet list!
Bad news:
I'm still waiting for the other 2 Fleet lists (hinthint)!
As soon as I receive these, all the final information will be posted on the ImpStorm site (URL hasn't been released yet), and a start date will be announced.
