SUBJECT: Hammer Ship Report

Greetings pilots of the Hammer!

Welcome to a much delayed Hammer Ship Report.

Firstly apologies for the delay, I was trying to align this one with the end of the trivia round which finished over the weekend; more on this can be found below. I was also hoping to announce a new competition - The Hammer Historians Club which will be about coming up with the history of our fine vessel -- however this is still pending and will be released into the wild decks of the Hammer later this week.

The past fortnight has seen a number of changes with two pilots lost to the reserves and one catching a shuttle over to the Challenge, however numbers immediately rebounded with two new arrivals from the Avenger in Sub Lieutenants DemWookieCheeks and Reshtarc. Security also discovered Lieutenant RedBaron caught the return shuttle from the Challenge so overall numbers are constant.

For those of you not on Discord I would encourage you to sign on as the community is thriving and our squadron channels full of chatter. It's also a good place to catch up on news as I'm stuck with one handed (read: slow) typing for another few weeks! You can reach our Discord server at ehtc.chat

Lots of medals listed out below today, as well as one promotion - Lieutenant Commander Xye is now a full Commander so please direct your bar tabs to the Lambda ready room and beetroot farm.
