TYPHOON SQUADRON REPORT #3

Date: 01 March 2025
From: MAJ Jagged Fell III
To: AD Locke Setzer
CC: TIE Corps

COMMANDER’S QUARTERS

Jagged had been busy this last month, crafting training packages for his pilots to prepare them for the oncoming storm, but would it be enough, would his squadron succeed in their mission to destroy the brazen First Order contingent before them? There was only one way to know for certain, and Jagged would lead his pilots into each battle knowing that he had the best pilots in all the TIE Corps beside him in his assaults.

SQUADRON NEWS

After that crazy January, we have had a bit quieter February, but is to be expected. I am happy to see that most of the squadron got on the MSE board this month, though not all will receive a medal due to needing a minimum of 11 points in a month and a total of more than 20 points when including carryover points to earn the first level of MSE award.

You all may have noticed that Atashi chose to go to the Reserves this month. It was her choice and can, and will, come back later when she feels that she has time to invest in the club. I only bring this up to highlight that it is completely acceptable to go into the Reserves when you feel you don't have time to do the different activities the club supports and you will always be welcome back when that changes.

Our only promotion since my last report is my own to Major. Thanks to AD Setzer for that. I hope to continue to lead you all for sometime to come.

We do get to celebrate Marlore hitting 1 year with the EH this month, also Prost reached 23 years with the EH this month!

FLEET NEWS

This year's iteration of Imperial Storm is finally here! For those who don't know, this is a fleet-wide exercise/wargame that is one of the largest events of the year! It will offer something for everyone, and more details will be shared as they become available. I am really excited for this competition as I think it is my favorite of the big Fleet comps due to the lore and story elements of it. Also, we get to fight the First Order.

COMPETITIONS

Here is a brief rundown of the current competitions available to you all in the squadron, remember this is just a list as of today and you should keep an eye on the Competition Page of the website for any new ones that get posted. I am going to try and sort them by activity type too.

Single Player

• SP Ace of the TIE Corps 2025 - Season One
  • End Date – 2025/04/30
  • Synopsis – Simple, fly Single Player missions from the Database and submit a BSF with the pilot file to the website. Different games have a different point value to them but fly the platforms you like. Missions can only be flown once per year for credit.
• TIE Corps in Battle Season Eight
  • End Date – 2025/04/30
  • Synopsis – One battle each from TIE, XvT, XWA and TFTC will be assigned monthly. Pilots will fly the battles and submit their pilot files through the database normally. You will get points based on how high your scores are compared to the others submitting to the competition too. And bonus points if you manage to set any High Scores for the missions or battles, even if they are later surpassed. But even if you can't shoot for high scores I encourage everyone who owns the Single Player games to fly them, even with full cheats enabled, as you will at least get 2 points per battle you fly and that will go towards the squadron leader board and we may place as squadron high enough to earn a medal.
• Fly Straight Down the Middle
  • End Date – 2025/06/27
  • Synopsis – Your goal is to fly the Free mission I assign each week and have your score be the closest to the average of all the scores submitted. I am really excited for this competition as it won't award being the best pilot, but just flying the mission like everyone else.
• Imperial Storm VII
  • End Date – 2025/03/31
  • Synopsis – We will be participating in the battle for the Refueling Station above Zephyron in the Gasriese System. In the beginning of the month, we will be moving across a grid board per the orders of our fearless leader, AD Locke Setzer, hunting for the First Order patrol in our area of operation while achieving certain objectives. Later in the month we will come together with the other two Battlegroups in our final assault on the Refueling Station. This competition will involve flying assigned free missions and playing any TIE Corps supported PvE and PvP games during a set time period for each combat encounter.

Multi-Player

• Star Wars: Hunters - Season 5 Ranked
  • End Date – 2025/03/26
  • Synopsis – Play ranked matches in Star Wars Hunters and if you attain the rank of Chromium III or better before the season is done, take a screenshot of the rank placement just before the season ends via email to darth.sidious819@gmail.com showing your end of season placement and leaderboard (if applicable).
• SWTOR Conquest 2: The Search for More Conquest, Season 6
  • End Date – 2024-04-29
  • Synopsis – Pilots within the official organizational guilds on the Star Forge server (“Emperor’s Hammer” for the Sith Empire and “Infiltrator Wing” for the Republic) will compete against each other for placement awards while they aide the organization to meet its in-game goals.
• PvE Ace of the TIE Corps 2025 - Season One
  • End Date – 2025/04/30
  • Synopsis – Simple, play any approved primary TIE Corps PvE game and submit the winning screenshots to the website. Different games have a different point value to them but fly the platforms you like.
• PvP Ace of the TIE Corps 2025 - Season One
  • End Date – 2025/04/30
  • Synopsis – Simple, play any approved primary TIE Corps PvP game and submit the winning screenshots to the website. Different games have a different point value to them but fly the platforms you like.
• Imperial Storm VII
  • End Date – 2025/03/31
  • Synopsis – We will be participating in the battle for the Refueling Station above Zephyron in the Gasriese System. In the beginning of the month, we will be moving across a grid board per the orders of our fearless leader, AD Locke Setzer, hunting for the First Order patrol in our area of operation while achieving certain objectives.

  • End Date – 2024-04-27
  • Synopsis – At the start of each week a timed test will be sent out via Discord. Click on the link and do your best to answer the questions as fast as possible. The winners are scored on who had the most correct answers and then who had the fastest completion time.

Other

• Rho Watch Parties 2025
  • End Date – 2025/12/31
  • Synopsis – For each of the 12 months in 2025, a pilot in Rho who was chosen at random, picks a movie or tv show that is rated PG-13 or less and appears on a streaming service. Maston Dane will make a voting document with times listed for that month and everyone marks each day and time that also works for them. After a few days of voting the day with the most people available is chosen and come the day we all meet up on discord coms and each of us on our own screens start at the same time. IAR for every 2 months of joining in on the watch party for at least a minimum amount of time.

HOW TO ADVANCE

I won't repeat all of what I said in the first report here (go see the First Report for the detailed MSE breakdown) but will remind you all that for a month to count towards a promotion a Merit Medal (medal awarded from MSE points) must be earned.

STANDING ORDERS

As always, the requirements of Active Duty in the TIE Corps are communicating at least once per month, whether that is talking in a Discord channel or sending me a Direct Message on Discord or an email. And then it is important to post some MSE activity at least once every other month, but preferably every month.

COMMANDER'S COCKPIT

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to support you all here in any way.
