DATE SUBMITTED: 2025-May-09

Greetings, pilots of Alpha Squadron. As we close out another eventful month, I am pleased to report on April as a month marked by several transitions, commendable achievements, and continued activity within our ranks.

April proved to be a noteworthy month for Alpha Squadron, bringing with it several important roster alterations. Lieutenant Commander Donir, after a short tenure, has opted to transition to the reserves. In contrast, we welcomed the return of Commander TecGenie, who made the shuttle journey back into active service, reinforcing our squadron’s strength with his experience in Star Wars: Squadrons. Furthermore, we had the privilege of welcoming Sub Lieutenant Wran, who has officially joined our squadron, bringing our pilot count back up to a solid twelve pilots.

Beyond personnel changes, April also proved to be a month of recognition and reward. The monthly squadron evaluation process was completed over the weekend and saw several of our pilots being honored for their activity, skill, and contributions.

The following pilots were recognized with the following honors:

• General Elwood the Brave – Awarded the Silver Star of the Empire.
• Major Shane – Recipient of the Bronze Star of the Empire.
• Captain Witchblade – Bestowed the Palpatine Crescent.
• Lieutenant Commander Alton Sureshot – Honored with the Imperial Security Medal.
• Lieutenant Commander Mars – Also awarded the Imperial Security Medal.
• Lieutenant Sundown – Recognized with the Imperial Security Medal, commending his first month in the TIE Corps.

We now set our sights on the opportunities and challenges that lay ahead over the coming months. Squadron ReMobilization will be the next competition for us to attempt, this will run for the duration of the month of June and cover multiple gaming and non-gaming possibilities for our pilots to enjoy!
