REPORTING COMMANDER: General Stryker
DATE SUBMITTED: 3-July-25

The E-Wings were overworked and in dire need of maintenance, their advanced (and therefore complex) systems strained to breaking point by the continuous operations over the previous month. The pilots, for the most part, were similarly tired and in need of R&R.

Excercise (Re)Mobilisation 7 had brought Scorpion Squadron together in a way Stryker had not thought possible; they had banded together to not only achieve their goals, but blow them out of the water. They had even edged out Battlegroup III favourites Typhoon Squadron, though only by a single point.

Though the effort had been exhausting, there was not a single being in Scorpion Squadron, from Squadron Commander down to junior Astromech technician, who could not be proud of what they had achieved.

While now there was time to rest and recuperate, Stryker knew that greater challenges lay ahead. Scorpion Squadron would, as always, rise to the occasion, but first there were some personnel reassignments to be made.

My rule has always been simple: enjoy yourself and do not feel compelled to participate more than you are comfortable with. What does this mean? It means I'm more concerned with having a happy squadron than a "competitive" squadron. It means I do not "expect" players to go all-out if it is not something they want to do.

It also means if I'm pushing too hard, pilots are welcome to DM me and tell me so (nicely, I hope!)

That said, coasting by on the bare minimum isn't going to advance anyone in Scorpion, or the TC as a whole. Communication is the minimum requirement for any TC member to remain "active", but simply logging into Discord isn't enough to create upward mobility.

The TC offers so many opportunities to engage and earn those rewards; IU courses and fiction or art submissions do not require a computer able to run the most modern games; competitions such as Trivia for the Challenged only require a working knowledge of Star Wars, or the desire to learn more. I, personally, enjoy writing more than gaming these days; especially now I have a new keyboard tray for my desk (curse you Evil_Edgar! *shakes fist*)

So long as we know our limits and stick to what we enjoy, we can do anything!

• Trivia for the Challenged - Star Wars themed Trivia hosted weekly by our very own AD Setzer!
• Scorpion Top Gun - Win LoCs for the chance to earn the title "Scorpion Top Gun"!
• Infiltrator's Best Friend - Write up the design and history of your Astromech Droid to receive a custom image, and the chance to win medals!

It's time to rest after a successful (Re)Mob! July I intend to be a chill month, emphasising gaming for fun and socialising rather than any specific goal (y'all should still be aiming for medals, though!)

August we'll begin thinking about our battle play for Raise the Flag, which starts in September. That's a way off, though, so right now we should just sit back, relax, and enjoy our success!

End transmission,
