The Adventures of Sin Squadron
Chapter I: The Gang Gets A New Commander

As the shuttle slowly dropped out of hyperspace, the pilot managed to lurch way too hard. Zekk felt his hungover stomach way too hard; he turned green as his stomach jumped up into his chest, then slowly settled back down. He picked up his duffel bag as the ISD Warrior came into view and hailed the shuttle. He walked over to the pilot.

“How long have you been flying this thing?” Zekk asked the pilot, who he was pretty sure just entered puberty.

“Just got my flight certification yesterday, sir!” he replied with the enthusiasm of someone who had never had their ship shot up.

Great, Zekk thought. No wonder the Republic is winning.

The shuttle proceeded to get landing clearance and the pilot brought it in – slowly, incredibly jerky, and landing backwards. As the hydraulics hissed and the ramp descended, Zekk quite literally ran off the shuttle.

He first noted the interior of the Warrior’s hangar bay, clean and polished to a fine, shiny hue. Assembled before him were 11 pilots, including the outgoing pilot, General Earnim Branet, who was stepping down to be a regular old pilot. Zekk threw a crisp salute and was returned in kind, before General Branet extended his hand.

“Welcome aboard, Lieutenant Colonel Terrik, to the ISD Warrior and to Sin Squadron. I have ordered the pilots to assemble to greet you. All the pilots have pitched in, too, to get you 50 credits towards the Warrior’s cantina. Your reputation precedes you,” said General Branet, smiling.

Zekk shook Earnim’s hand. “Thank you General,” he replied. Earnim fell into formation with his squadron as Zekk turned to address his squadron. “Listen up, pilots! I’m pretty easy to get along with. The one rule is that you do not disturb my drinking. And pick up all your crap off the floor of the squadron bunkroom so I don’t drunkenly trip over it on the way to my quarters!”
“Sir yes sir!” they all replied in unison.
“Now, who is the executive officer of this outfit? Step forward!”
A young pilot with a Lieutenant Commander’s rank board stepped forward. “Sir, I am, sir!”
“What’s your name, pilot?” Zekk said sternly.
“Sir, Lieutenant Commander Coremy Jertese, sir!” he replied, snapping a crisp salute.
“Lieutenant Commander Jertese, I take pride in running a squadron of top pilots. The best in the TIE Corps. We are high performing with high morale. Do you know why my squadrons always have high morale, Lieutenant Commander Jertese?” Zekk said, stepping up to him.
“Sir, no sir!” he replied robotically.
“Because my pilots always ended up hating their executive officer so much that they love me by comparison. Will that be an issue for you, pilot?” Zekk said, narrowing his eyes.
Coremy paled, but he did not waver. “Sir no sir!”
“Outstanding, pilot! Let’s get that started then. Lieutenant Commander Jertese, you will order one of our pilots to clean the Sin Squadron latrines from top to bottom with the finest toothbrushes the Empire has to offer. Is that understood?” Zekk replied with a very smug grin.
“Sir yes sir!” Coremy snapped another crisp salute and turned around. “Sublieutenant Cloud Striker, step forward!”
A man that looked way too old to be a Sublieutenant stepped forward. Zekk decided he would decipher that mystery later. He saluted. “Sir!”
“Sublieutenant Cloud Striker, you will take the commander’s bags to his private quarters where you will then unpack for him. You will take possession of the commander’s toothbrushes and proceed to clean the entire Sin Squadron head from top to bottom. You will then return them so that the commander does not know which toothbrushes were used to clean the head, and he will be forced to throw them all out! Do you understand, Sublieutenant?” Coremy said, as firmly and professionally as he could possibly muster.
Zekk watched not only his eyes but also the eyes of his entire squadron go wide. They did their very best to not snicker in formation by biting their lips. Zekk could only look at Coremy in awe as he turned around to face his commander.
“Sir, your orders will be carried out. Welcome to Sin Squadron,” said Coremy, as he extended his hand. Zekk was flabbergasted.
“I’m impressed. Finally, I’ve found someone as petty as I am,” Zekk said as he shook Coremy’s hand. “Dismissed!” He grabbed Coremy by the shoulder. “Not you. You will be joining me for a drink. I’ll buy.”

Tune in next time for Part II: The Gang Chats Up A Droid! (Won’t necessarily be in every report, but as I finish them)

Sin Squadron Report #64 January 5, 2020

Reporting Commander: Lieutenant Colonel Zekk Terrik

Squadron News & Commentary

Sinners assemble! Welcome to my first report as squadron commander, and the first report I have written as a commander in nearly 16 years. It has been an expectedly quiet week with the holidays passing. I hope that you guys enjoyed the first edition of The Adventures of Sin Squadron. I won’t necessarily be including them in every report but I will send them in the next available WSR when I finish them, time permitting. I want to take a moment to thank General Branet for the smooth transition to CMDR and for handling the December MSE’s for me. I appreciate everything you did to leave me a well oiled flying machine.

As we regretfully announce the retirement of LT Troy into the Reserves, we joyfully announce the elevation of LCM Coremy Jertese to FL of Flight 3. LC Rando will remain the FL of Flight 2.

In my initial squadron email I did an AWOL check. I still have not heard from LT Zwilf or GN Ric. This is your final warning that you have until January 12th to report to your CMDR or the Hammer’s Fist will be escorting you to the brig for desertion.

GN Pickled Yoda has won Season 4 of the EH Trivia Grand Tour. Congratulations! Too bad I’ll be winning next year.

I want to take a minute to congratulate GN Phoenix, who just announced in the Telegram chat that his wife gave birth to two healthy babies! Congratulations, sir! I hope everyone had a good holiday and good new year.

For the Empire! For Sin!
