REPORTING COMMANDER: Commander Genie. Squadron Commander
TO: Lambda Squadron, HA Elwood The Brave Hammer's Commodore
DATE SUBMITTED: 26th October 28 ABY

Yesterday, Sunday, we had our first ever Lambda Expedition (team event) into Squadrons. LT Corran Shub, LCM Xye and CM Genie, battling Rebel scum and on occasion Imperial Imposters, as we showed them who the real deal is.

The fourth week of Lambda's Star Wars Trivia! starts today.

We had a special Spot the Error report, more on that in the results below. Happy to say that Deiro and Xye managed to find the ... booby prize! I did get one of the three intentional errors past the squad though. ;)

LT Deiro has created a new TC-wide competition, be sure to check it out. The Galactic Linguist! The premise; you are given sentences written in one or more Star Wars languages and you need to translate it in the fastest time possible.

This week, we have a fiction piece written by LT Deiro. The Lieutenant was on a mission to locate Cornelia. What transpires below were the events as they unfolded.

Mission Report: Locating Cornelia
Reported by LT Deiro Avisst Lambda Wing III ISDII Hammer

Background: In the most recent report CM Genie stated that Cornelia, Lambdas mascot, had disappeared. With special permission from the commander, I took it upon myself to find out the whereabouts of Cornelia.

Mission Report: The investigation began in the Lambda quarters, however I turned up empty handed. The next lead was to ask the Hammers security team. The head said they would keep an eye out and advised me to talk to maintenance crewmates. After a couple of hours of asking around a couple of maintenance workers said they saw Cornelia going towards the vehicle bays. I had rumors that there was a Lambda Class T-4a Shuttle moved into the hangar bay. My next stop was the hangar control room, where I was then informed that there was an unauthorized launch of Lambda Class T-4a Shuttle, Designation CA-246. After receiving the tracking info and designation code I launched my fighter and started tracking the shuttle. According to the tracking info, Shuttle CA-246 had landed on the planet Adarlon near the capital city of Belrand. After locating the shuttle, it was determined that Cornelia had in fact been on Shuttle CA-246. After some recon, the Cornelias footprints were headed toward Belrand. I promptly alerted ISB and local patrols to be on the lookout. Once I had arrived at Belrand, I was informed at the ISB office that they had received an anonymous tip, that Cornelia had been spotted entering a bar named The Crystaline Fountain. Once on location, I finally found Cornelia playing Corellian Spike Sabaac at a booth in the back of the bar. A transport has been called to deliver Cornelia back to The Hammer

Deiro's Closing Notes: Tracking shuttle CA-246 was a shot in the dark. It is not known whether there were pilots with Cornelia on the shuttle. It was also surprising to see that she knew how to play sabaac, but she had a big pile of credits so she definitely learned from somewhere.

Commander's Notes: I hope Deiro remembered to pick up the pile of credits. Must let Cornelia play more Sabaac.

I am trying to talk myself into returning back to my project of crafting a TIE Fighter campaign. Currently, two battles fully completed with the third in progress. The RtF, followed by the Squadrons hype put a dampener on that.
