Classic Battlefront II (2005) is now a supported game here in the TIE Corps. Screenshots from multiplayer may be submitted for LoCs for LoSs, but probably LoCs because of the way the game balances teams.

Star Wars: Squadrons was announced, kind of. We get an official reveal trailer for it later today. It looks perfect for the TIE Corps as it's focused on starfighters, but we'll see how much of a 'sim' it is when when we get a look at the gameplay. Not all reveal trailers have gameplay, though, so that part might not be today.

LT Mirei Seppen was expelled from the Emperor's Hammer for repeated violations of our Articles of War, one of the important sets of regulations for the club. That's not something we've had to do in quite a while, but it's behind us now and we'll move forward from here.

The scores are in for the third battle in Imperial Storm, congratulations to the ISDII Warrior once again but kudos to the ISDII Hammer for taking advantage of the new damage rules and inflicting a lot of MP-based damage on the Warrior's fleet.

TIE Corps Core had a few details updated including a copy/paste error that's been hanging around for a while.

I'm in the process of uploading the existing New Member Guide to the Wiki here I have a few more sections to go so I wouldn't start adding to it in earnest yet, but putting it in the Wiki gives us a way to collaborate on it and keep it updated with new things that come out.

For anyone that might be interested in taking on a leadership role in the Corps, Epsilon Squadron is still looking for a CMDR.

If you'd like to submit something for the newsletter, just attach the file to an email and send it to me. If it‘s something that's already been uploaded somewhere, just email me the URL.

If you complete a new Imperial University course, you'll notice that your EH database profile gets updated automatically but not your TC database profile. The latter are updated manually, please give us a couple of days after your test is graded for the new course to appear in your TC profile before you email us about it.
