202FOR THE EMPIRE, CONTINUED

With the beginning of another new month, I have some announcements to make about the future of our organization. First and foremost, there's been a desire from leadership to meet the evolving needs of our members and roll in some of the concepts from a defunct subgroup, the Corporate Division. To that end, the TIE Corps is rebranding itself as "Tie Corp" to reflect a new corporate mindset and simplify the styling of our name. You'll see new events and activities based on content creation and top-notch business acumen employed at all levels of Tie Corp, along with new recognition structures designed to leverage synergy while respecting everyone's available bandwidth. Any friction among our rockstars will be taken offline and circled back to later. Our new cloud-based strategies will involve deep dives into big data while we reach out to next-gen innovators to develop our core competencies. We are aligned on giving 110% on touching base with our stakeholders regularly and integrating blockchain technology into a win-win, organic wheelhouse that will be a game-changer as we disrupt the online gaming space.

Taking a page from Star Wars: Squadrons, we'll be restructuring Tie Corp squadrons to be units of up to five pilots each including a CMDR. SQXO and FL positions will no longer be needed but many of those pilots will have the opportunity to become CMDRs since we'll need many more of them. Current CMDR+ should get in touch with their chain of command to start making decisions about which pilots they'll keep and which pilots will be sent to a pool of unassigned pilots for me to place into new squadrons. This new smaller squadron size will better reflect what's happening in the Star Wars canon and give pilots less competition for their CMDR's attention.

In accordance with our shift towards creation and design, I'm announcing the introduction of not just one but three new primary games within Tie Corp. The first is the recent Path of the Jedi DLC for Minecraft with lots of building and lightsabers waving around. Along those lines, we're finally introducing support for Fortnite with its blend of Star Wars character availability and gameplay that includes the ability to build structures to alter the battlefield. Last, we'll expand our non-Star Wars lineup by adding Kerbal Space Program 2, which is a unique addition in that there's no combat so recognition for time spent playing the game will be through completing in-game achievements and submitting recorded gameplay footage for design competitions.

That feels like a lot for one message, so I'll end it there. We hope you enjoy these changes to Tie Corp! If you have any concerns or questions, please let us know.
