VA Obiwan Appointed Logistics Officer:  09.15.04
As Submitted By:  Fleet Commander (GA Ronin)

Logistics Office

The Logistics Officer (LO) handles distribution of important Fleet Communiqués to the Members of the Emperor's Hammer.  In addition, the LO acts as Chief Archivist for the EH and is responsible for maintaining duplicate copies of important Clubs files, newsletters, manuals, etc.  As chief archivist for the Fleet, the LO is responsible for hosting/posting the Newsletters.

As much considerations, the Fleet Commander has decided upon the appointment of VA Obiwan as the new EH Logistics Officer (CS-11).  VA Obiwan is already busy at work planning a schedule for our 10th anniversary celebration for January 2005.  I am sure VA Obiwan will do an excellent job as the new EH Logistics Officer as well.

Congrats !

Commendations of Loyalty:  09.07.04
As Emailed From:  Operations Officer (AD Foley)

(Please see Operations Manual for Medal descriptions)

Here we go, the final list of Commendations of Loyalty. First, congratulations to all of those who earned CoLs this time around. It's one of the medals that is the hardest to earn and only comes around twice a year, so it is an accomplishment. Now for the usual things I have to say. First, you will notice many repeats of recommendations. If a Tie Corps pilot was recommended twice for a CoL from the Tie Corps, an Imperial Advisor, or a Command Officer, he will only receive one CoL on his profile. If a member was awarded a CoL from the Tie Corps and from the Dark Brotherhood, he will receive both. If a member was awarded a single CoL from a subgroup, it will not be placed on his Tie Corps profile, only on that subgroup's profile.

Let me also mention that I am truly disappointed with this round of submissions. Participation from Command Officers was barely anything. Many subgroups couldn't find the time to send in a single recommendation, even though they were allowed to have ten! Many of the e-mails I received had no PINs, and didn't have the proper title. Simple directions that weren't followed. Also, many Commendations of Loyalty were awarded outside of the chain of command. I won't point out individuals, but if you see the list below, you'll be able to tell the circumstances there. Let the FC, XO, and in their absense, myself recognize high-ranking officers who have contributed to the EH. Let BGCOMs recognize COMs and WCs. COMs and WCs should recommend at a maximum 2 of their CoLs to CMDRs. In the best-case scenarios, only one from each wing should go to a CMDR. CoLs in the Tie Corps should have FLs and FMs heavily populating the list. This medal isn't just about recognizing achievement, it's about recognizing achievement by those who would normally not get recognized with such a prestigious medal. Many subgroups awarded CoLs solely to command staffers and high-ranking officers. This is disappointing to say the least. I will expect a much higher quality list of submissions the next time around or I simply won't accept them.

And now the list.

AD Motti Figures for Sale on EBay:  09.03.04
As Emailed From:  Richard LeParmentier

Dear FC:

Richard LeParmentier here

I am selling two unique custom Motti figures on ebay.

I'm having Spat and Albin market them at DC as they are cool figures. They are on ebay at the moment under Admiral Motti.

There is a custom retro figure unsigned but will be signed when sold and will include the Japanese tour sticker from the 2001 Vader Motti tour. This is the only one in the US and I would expect $150.00 - $175.00.

The other one is a Motti/Vader double pack custom on blue card made by the Norwich UK Collecting club for Dave and I.

There are only four left and only two signed by both Dave and myself.

A double pack with just my signature got $175.00 at Wizards Philly this year.

I would really appreciate it if you could alert the Garrison as I'm sure there are enough collectors out there who might want to bid.

All the best,

Richard

As Emailed From:  Former Prefect of the Hammer's Legion (GN Dante)

Due to time commitment issues along with marital and military issues, I feel the need to resign from my position as Prefect of the Hammer's Fist.

I hope to continue in some capacity, but at this time I can no longer function as a Prefect should.

MadHatter Resigns as IWCOM:  09.27.04
As Emailed From:  Former IWCOM (MadHatter)

Infiltrator Wing

<Salute>

Esteemed Officers, Shipmates, and Friends....

There comes a time that one must put their responsibilities into perspective. The past few weeks I have been trying to juggle a new promotion at my RL job, numerous other duties, as well as be a good leader to the IW. It isn't working. The time that my new position in RL takes is now demanding more of my time, and it would be unfair to the IW to have me continue to struggle with the task of trying to be successful at them all. It is at this time that I announce my retirement in all of my EH positions.

As much as this hurts, it must be done. Thank you to those who supported my role as IWCOM, I could not have done it with out your help. I hope to return sometime to play an active role in the IW again, so, save a line spot for me. ; ) To those new to the IW.... keep active, have faith, and have fun and you will go far.

Good luck to you all, and may you prosper greatly in your EH careers.

As my last statement, I wish to recommend Rear Admiral Daniel Hanson to be assigned as the IW Commander. Hobbie has done a very fine job of leading the MC-90 Renegade to a solid state of activity, and doing everything in his power to make the group fun for the members. He would be a great IWCOM, and he has earned it.

Sincerely,

~Vice Admiral Mad Hatter~

GMF Orzon Promoted to Admiral:  09.23.04
As Recommended By:  DGMF/RA Wil Striker/MC-2/Gondor Base

(Please see Training Manual for Rank descriptions)

Greetings FC and XO,

I approach you today on behalf of the EH Directorate to recommend a promotion to the rank of Admiral (AD) for our esteemed Grand Moff, VA Orzon. My reasons are listed below.

Since, and even before, his appointment as GMF, VA Orzon has been instrumental in managing the affairs of the Directorate. He is active every day, by email, IRC and AIM to consult with all members. He handles matters quickly and without delay whenever possible, and constantly pushes his officers in the Ministry Council and Territories to be as active and involved with the Directorate as he himself is. It has been a very long time since the Directorate has had such an active GMF, and VA Orzon continues to build up the momentum of the Directorate with each passing day.

Under his management as GMF, the Directorate for the first time has a training academy that includes online exams, which has greatly cut down the turnaround time for grading to 12-24 hours. Under his guidance I have been able to personally help him in seeing the completion of many projects, including the exam automating at the CDGI. In addition, the simulation platform "Diplomacy", formerly knows as Supremacy, is nearing completion. The final draft of the manual, all 70+ pages of it, are being drafted by the MoO, LEG Lammoth at this time. Fortunately the revisions to the final draft are pretty minor, so the GMF and I expect to see the final version of the Dippy manual within the week. In addition, LEG Lammoth is working on the final parts of the Diplomacy gaming site. The demos I've seen of the site so far are very encouraging, and all together things are moving along much faster than VA Orzon and I had hoped with regard to getting Diplomacy released this year. :)

I'd also like to point out that thanks to VA Orzon's leadership and continued guidance, the DIR now has 5x as many members as it did when he first became GMF! New recruits continue to pour in every week, this past week alone we had 7 new recruits join, and 5 of those have already completed their training and are already assigned and active within the Territories. All in all I am very impressed with how quickly VA Orzon has managed to turn things around in the Directorate, and for the first time in two years the DIR is very close to finally having a website and database to brag about. Even after RA Monsh resigned due to RL circumstances several people, myself included, jumped right in and picked up different parts of the project to help move it along. At this time we have a fairly new member that is working on completing the admin coding and database interface so that we can bring the new database rosters and profiles to life! The DIR has never been this close to having a completed website and database in the past two years, and this is an area that VA Orzon has continued to remain diligent in to ensure it gets done.

I can't fully express how pleased I, and many others, are with how VA Orzon has worked as GMF. We've had our share of disappointments from previous GMFs that promised so much, but delivered so little. In the time that VA Orzon has been GMF he has accomplished far more than he even thought was possible, and continues to plunge forward each day to see that things stay on track and are accomplished. It is for these reasons, and many more that are too numerous to mention, that I recommend a promotion to the rank of Admiral (AD) for Grand Moff Orzon.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

[SALUTE]

Directorate Minister of Communications Needed:  09.11.04
As Emailed From:  Grand Moff of the EH Territories (VA Orzon)

EH Directorate (DIR)

The Directorate is currently in need of a Minister of Communications. As the Directorate Manual states:

Minister of Communication (MoC, MC-5): The Minister of Communication is in charge of all the communication aspects of the Directorate. This includes the main Directorate web page, the Directorate Message Board, and the Directorate IRC Channel. He is also responsible for approving "official" Directorate web sites.

Currently the Directorate has somewhat of a site built. The template is there, but the rest must be done. We need all the coding for Administration, rosters, news script, etc. Done. The old Minister of Communications step down leaving us with what he has completed. The only stipulation about coming aboard is keeping the current template. It would be ideal if the Minister of Communications would continue to serve until he no longer has the ability to...so that when we have updates, etc., they can be dealt with.

If you are interested or have any questions please contact myself at ma4sbwithu@aol.com. I can also be found on IRC in the #ehdir channel.
