This week was full of interesting events. There's still pretty much of fuss about Thorin. My advice is to forget about this case and go back to your usual duties. There's really nothing to talk about. High Inquisitor's decision, approved by the FC and XO, is the final one and noone can change it. I'll repeat after the SO: Thorin is to be banned from all EH communication channels.

Grand Admiral Ronin has notified the Command Staff that Vice Moff Jir (on IRC as VMF_Jir) of TRIC is to be banned from all EH channels as a rDB member. Jir has also shown his affilation to the Darknyte and has offended the XO. His ban should be executed immediately.

The Return of the Sith trailer has been released on Thursday. I've watched it and I can say it looks great. The conversation between Palpatine and Vader: "Lord Vader" "Yes master?" "Riiiise..." is probably the best part of it. Trailer doesn't show too much, but the last part of the saga is going to be very interesting. In example there will be shown a fight between Yoda and Imperial Guards (if you have a trailer, in the scene with Yoda you can see red coats laying on the floor).

After September's wave of recruits recruitment has slowed down. I process like 3 CORE test a week (not counting test submitted by FW clones). I encourage you to represent the EH on various SW message boards. Even the MB on SW.com will be good. I've posted there a link to the EH website with short description some time ago and I believe it gave us some members (in next 2 weeks after my post numbers of recruits were rising) so it is a good way of recruitment. It doesn't mean you should spam all SW MBs with texts "Join the EH!". Just make sure you include your ID line and a link to the EH.org in your signature and take part in discussions. I'm sure someone will be intrigued enough to click the link.

My asisstant has reported that he started works on the new Academy of Tactics for the Intel Division. This is his primary objective right now so the Library project will be on hold untill the AoT is finished. AoT website will be coded in the way it could be easly plugged to the Imperial Academy database in the same way as the BHG's Citadel.

Grand Master Nocturnus has stated few days ago that there are some works on implementing Battlefront into the DB. It's a good news since this game gives new opportunities for recruitment and the activity in overall.

I'm slowly revising the Training Manual. I've already made some changes (mainly added few links etc). I'll add a new section to it soon so stay tuned.

I have two more vacant PROF positions: GFX and eggdrop. As I'm not very interested in keeping the eggdrop course, I'll be accepting apps for it only for couple of day (not longer than a week). After that period, if I don't get any apps, I'll shut down the course. GFX professor's spot will remain open untill someone is chosen for that position.

The IIC PROF will be announced over the weekend.
