Whats going on?
Welcome to this weeks Hammer report. It's been a fortnight since the last one of these and there is a fair bit to mention. Firstly GN La'an stepped in to replace LC Tygetta as Commander of Epsilon squadron and has already completed the latest MSE (Monthly Squadron Evaluation) which is where all the shiney medals get recommended, so remember to buy him a beer when you see him.
Secondly, and a little linked to that, if you happen to be on Discord do stop by the #days-of-our-ties channel which is a run-on that has so far involved mysterious lag, a fire in the Lambda crew quarters, a large party in the Hammer bar, and apparently a drunken briefing. Trust me it's well worth the read and the participation.
We've had a fair few medals to report on given the 2 weeks since the last report, you can find them all below except for the Medals of Communication that I recommended earlier in the week. The next batch from the upcoming MSEs will be awarded as soon as your Commanders get their paperwork in and the SOO can review it, so hopefully shortly. I also want to congratulate Major Highlander on his elevation to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, well done sir!
This Friday see's the start of Imperial Storm IV, a turn based war game that sees a trio of teams (Challenge, Hammer and Warrior) fight it out over a map of worlds in the sector we’re currently based in. Each of the 30 turns lasts for 24 hours with orders submitted by the Team Captains to the gamesmaster daily. The three teams will be vying to earn points by taking the different worlds in the sector whilst destroying the enemy fleets wherever they find them.
Whilst the Team Captains will be responsible for sending in their orders, their teams performances in any battles will be dictated by YOU, the pilots of the Fleet.
A full set of rules can be found HERE whilst a simplified guide to the event can be found on the wiki HERE
COL Genie will be responsible for running the Hammer team for Imperial Storm IV as I will be fulfilling the role of Games Master, so if you have any questions please direct them to him. I expect the first several turns to be quiet as fleets maneuver, but I have arranged for a Reporters group to post mock news items to a channel on Discord to help keep everyone entertained whilst we await the first battle!

Trivia for the Hammered - Season Four
Trivia for the Hammered returns with Season Four.
Each week, 4 questions will be released via the TIE Corps timed competition system. For each question, the quickest pilot to answer correctly receives 3 points, second quickest with the correct answer gets 2 points and all the pilots with a correct answer get 1 point.
We tally up at the end of the week with the highest point total winning a IS-SR and the runner-up a IS-BR.
After 8 rounds we tally up for our winner who will receive a IS-GR, with the runner-up receiving a IS-SR, whilst third and fourth places receive a IS-BR.
Points earned on each question accrue and lead to IS-CRs being awarded for every multiple of 50 points.

Missions for this round are: TIE TC 61 - 70

Additional points based on your score as a percentage of the pre-existing High Score.
0-14.99% = 0 Points
15 - 24.99% = 1 Point
25 - 39.99% = 2 Points
40 - 59.99% = 3 Points
60 - 74.99% = 4 Points
75%+ = 6 points
== Awards ==
Top pilot at the end of the season: IS-GW
2nd place pilot at the end of the season: IS-SW
3rd place pilot at the end of the season: IS-BW
Career scores are carried over from earlier seasons, thus every 30 points a pilot earns, they'll receive an IS-CW.
COM's Corner
First and foremost I hope everyone likes the new format! It's a little different and somewhat easier for me to maintain!
On my side I've been busy with the admin side of keeping the Hammer going, plus trying to get some flying in for TCiB and the HToD competitions!
