ISD WARRIOR REPORT #36

REPORTING OFFICER: Vice Admiral Marenta Jean
DATE SUBMITTED: 10 April 2022

COMMODORE'S LOG

Day 1 - New Beginnings

Today marks day 389 of reactivation and entrance into Inferno Squadron. Over a year was spent in Inferno, and thus on the ISDII Challenge, and truthfully, it's been a fantastic year. Many changes and shifts and ups and downs; but, not surprisingly the people. I will miss them, but I am looking forward to this new opportunity that High Admiral Plif has entrusted to me. Truthfully, I did not expect to don my Admiral Dress again so soon, but I am eager to see what I can do. So, I suppose this is actually Day 1.

Day 3 - Cleanliness

I must confess that there are quite a few strong personalities on the Warrior, and I am learning new diplomatic ways to engage. Once such engagement was when I had to sort out all the Twi-leks roaming about the ship. I don't know what purpose they served, but they're now cleaning all the general areas that the pilots just can't seem to be bothered to keep clean. At least the lavatory off the bridge is functionable.

Day 10 - "AJ" in AJ Squaredaway stands for "Administrative Justification"

Why in all the stars in the cosmos did I not put more effort into learning MSEs? Also, due to some poor materiel maintenance, the Admin servers caught on fire and now everybody's information is in shambles. Ugh, somebody save me!

Day 13 - Imperial Storm and other Rancors

There are many things that are worming their way through the woodworks, and one such is Imperial Storm. While I am tactically inclined, the Warrior is at a distinct disadvantage across the fleet due to the number of squadrons. I have thought long and hard over many nights trying to formulate the best plan for us to be successful, and my greatest wish is that I have done so. High Admiral Plif and I have had a handful of discussions on ways to keep activity moving without jeopardizing structure of the squadrons. I suspect there will be movement soon on this front. And, speaking of rancors in the room, we are running out of billets to assign pilots to on the Warrior, so I hope that a solution is determined soon.

FROM THE DESK OF THE COMMODORE

Warriors, roll out!

So many things have happened, so so many. First, Mordechi Wolfe departed, which has left the Warrior in a semi-lurch after so many shake ups. Second, mad props to you guys for continuing on in a brilliant manner while you didn't have a Commodore. Third, what started off as a LAWLZ joke somehow turned into reality? Aaaaaand, now I'm the new WarCOM. Fourth, I came in on the brink of Imperial Storm 4 - Rumble at Zabrak--or whatever the center planet is called again. Fifth, I've made some minor changes to the channels, and I will continue to prod and poke and generally get a feeling for how everybody likes to run their ships, and thus I will hopefully learn how best to be the go-between you need me to be. Sixth, all medals should be awarded from however long ago it was that they were delayed, so that's a thing! I'm sure there's more, but it's only been a few weeks.

WARRIOR ROSTER

The roster currently 47 members with 1 AWOL pending.

I want to give a huge thanks to LC fr0Zen for his tenure as Rho CMDR! Congratulations go out to CM Davalorn for picking up the torch from LC fr0Zen.
Along with the Rho roster, CM Vapen is now both the FL of Flight 3 and the SQXO! CM Ossusplayz moves into FL of Flight 2! Good luck to you both!
A handful of new members have joined along with some veteran faces. Welcome Speeedoflight, WhatsUpDock, Ason Tsang, Ayre, Declan Blackwing, and Nerdle Eyeff; and welcome back to GN Mark Schueler and CM ERiSi!

WARRIOR FUTURE ACTIVITY

Turns the chair around and sits on the seat backwards, arms propped on the back of the chair.

I'm going to level with you all, very informally.

I'm new. I came from the Challenge. Things are different between the two ships, and I just want to take some time to see how everybody does everything. I have an "open door" policy, and that extends to everybody onboard. I trust the Commanders know what they need to do, that extends to the XOs, FLs, and FMs. So, trust your squadron; play or do as much as you can, and if there is ever a time where you need me to step in - I will. I'm not going to make waves by rocking the boat. I just want your success, and I want everybody to have fun.

WARRIOR COMPETITIONS

No ship-specific competitions are ongoing. But, stay tuned, because I will be kicking a few off shortly. Probably as soon as IS4 concludes.

There are a handful of EH-wide competitions ongoing!

Imperial Storm 4
We all know that this is one of the BIG 3 that the TIE Corps runs every year. There's a handful of changes from the preivous Imperial Storm, so make sure you check out the full details here.

TIE Corps in Battle Season Four
The TCCOM will pick a battle from the compendium for TF, XvT, and XWA every month for the entire TIE Corps to participate in. Even if you fly with cheats on or score terribly, a completion is still worth something, so check it out here.

SP, MP, and Co-Op Ace of the TIE Corps 2022
Theses are ongoing month-to-month scoreboard competitions. All you have to do is play games and you're automatically entered! Link to the competitions center for all three competitions is here.

2022 Crossword Challenge
If you're bored of flying or gaming, try another type of game on for size--a word game! Every month Solohan50 will put up a new Crossword to complete, current Season runs through the end of April. Check the details here.

TIE Corps Jigsaw Puzzle Extravaganza 2022
Also another non-gaming competition, this time with puzzles! Every month TheBlackxRanger will post a new jigsaw to complete, current Season runs through the end of April. See the specifics here.

TIE Fighter Total Conversion - Reimagined
A competition sponsored by the TAC, FA Pickled Yoda, that requires pilots to fly the TFTC - Reimagined campaign. You can participate by turning in high scores from the missions, running through fastest times, writing reviews and impressions, and finally graphics from the game showing points of particular interest. Read the competition specifics here.

Legion's Challenging Time Trials Season 3
The gist is to kill LegionX 3 times super fast. That's not a hardship! Consider giving it a shot! Find everything here.

CLOSING COMMENTS

I know that this was probably a bit of a weird report, and honestly, I concur. Like I may have mentioned, I'm coming from a new ship, and the last time I led any large group of people in relation to the EH was maybe 2001. So, some patience and some grace would be appreciated as I learn how the Warrior operates and how I can best ensure the Warrior's success.

Vice Admiral Marenta, Warrior Commodore
